davidm[topic] roadmap review12:17
MootBotNew Topic:  roadmap review12:17
loologra: offline-installer?12:17
davidmogra, offline installer12:17
ograhmm, well, there is script for now, i didnt manage to add something on top of vm-builder as i would like to yet12:18
ograi'll put the script into bzr and roll a ppa package for it12:18
davidmOK12:18
ograseems many people use it though12:18
loologra: Anything else to do in the spec?12:18
ogralool, a GUI, but given that we are post FF i'll develop that out of distro in PPA as well and make it adaptable for later vm-builder backend usage12:19
davidmogra, ??12:19
davidmOK, thanks12:19
loologra: You should update implemenetaion status12:19
loolEither defer for jaunty or consider it beta available12:20
davidmunr-handling-jaunty Stevenk12:20
ograoki12:20
loolBTW there's a bp title which is "Offline Installer" and is completely unrelated12:20
davidmStevenk is making good progress12:20
loolI think we should have a look at the patch merging progress as well12:21
lool(Probably next week when stevenk is around)12:21
davidmand I am upgrading 7 bugs that are currently filed and milestoneing them12:21
davidm general-resolution-for-touchscreen ogra??12:21
ograevtouch seems our only bet here, there are still bugs with it12:22
ograwhile upstream seems to have done some work on evdev all this is hardwired to the usbtouchscreen kernel driver12:23
ograwhich only supports three devices12:23
ograi'm just filing the necessary bugs for evtouch to track status12:23
loologra: Could you update implementation progress?12:23
ograyep12:23
davidmarm-softboot-loader NCommander12:24
NCommanderPreviously discussed, in the progress of redrafting.12:24
davidmActually we covered it's status already12:24
davidmselection-of-arm-images ogra12:24
ograwell, no kernels yet, as soon as we have them we'll have a tool :)12:24
davidmlpia-versus-i386 lool12:25
davidmthis is defeered until next cycle is it not?12:25
loolNo update, it's in good shape and only needs some infrastructure before jaunty + 112:25
lool(Which is for infinity to setup)12:25
loolWill report if there's progress on this front12:25
lool(spec status is up-to-date)12:26
davidmOK that is the roadmap12:26
davidmon to bugs I guess12:26
loolYup12:26
davidmbug #29984712:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 299847 in libipc-sharelite-perl "armel build failure (without ignoring testsuite results)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29984712:26
loologra, NCommander: you both worked on it12:26
NCommanderI managed to work out its an alignment issue (the results change when you play with the padding)12:27
ograwell, its clearly identified, but there is no solution yet12:27
loolWhat's needed to move this forward?12:27
NCommanderNormally GCC pads correctly onto the boundary, but this library does some weird things with structs12:27
ograand it actually only showing on the buildds12:27
NCommanderogra, I was going to test it on the other piece of ARM hardware I got yesterday to see if it happens there12:28
NCommanderIt might also be worth a test on the slug, to see if it only happens on ARMv512:28
davidmOK NCommander please test on your hardware12:28
ograi will do that as soon as bug 331510 is solved12:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 331510 in linux "ixp4xx kernel to big to use with debian-installer on NSLU2" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33151012:28
loolThe last comment says "it seems to be an alignment issue"; can we get a smaller test case of the alignment issue?12:29
NCommanderlool, huh?12:29
loolNCommander: Can we get a smaller C test case reproducing the issue?12:29
NCommanderOh. Well, I can see the structs causing the breakage, I just need to figure out how to write some code that acts a test case12:30
NCommanderThe problem is this libraries structs are extremely odd (they're passing arries to unsigned shorts in functions)12:30
loolWell if it's sure it's an aligment issue, why do we need to test on other hardware?12:30
NCommanderlool, mostly because I have no idea why we're having an issue. The kernel has a mechanism to correct alignment automatically.12:31
* NCommander misspoke12:31
NCommanderI'm fairly sure its the alignment. Its the only thing that seems to fit.12:31
NCommanderWhich, when enabled, still didn't fix the issue on the buildds, but changing the padding changes the results of the failures, and even causes different tests to fail.12:32
ograhey, someone already added my bug to the roadmap ...12:32
* ogra reverts his edit12:32
* davidm is fast12:32
loolOk, so NCommander are you taking the lead on this bug?12:32
ogra:)12:33
NCommanderYeah12:33
loolNCommander: Could you set yourself as assignee?12:33
davidmOk12:33
davidmbug #322217: ixp4xx d-i firmware doesn't boot need to upload a changed APEX and rebuild d-i12:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 322217 in linux "ixp4xx image does not boot" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/32221712:33
NCommanderI'm going to kick upstream an email, maybe then can enlightment on the insanity of this library.12:33
ogradavidm, fixed12:34
ograbut bug 331510 newly introduced12:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 331510 in linux "ixp4xx kernel to big to use with debian-installer on NSLU2" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33151012:34
davidmogra, are you taking the lead on this?12:34
loologra: What's the fix committed task in jaunty?12:34
loologra: on #322217; there's a task on linux; it's fix committed, what is it?12:35
ogradavidm, indeed12:35
lool"12:35
lool"12:35
looladding linux task, teh endianess of the kernel image is wrong and needs to be flipped12:35
loolI guess it's done?12:35
ogralool, thats done, right12:35
ografirmware is done as well12:35
loologra: Could you close the linux task?12:35
* ogra thought he closed all tasks already12:35
loolIt's only fix committed12:35
loologra: bug 331510 isn't milestoned nor tracked for jaunty12:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 331510 in linux "ixp4xx kernel to big to use with debian-installer on NSLU2" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33151012:36
ogralool, i just filed it at the beginning of the meeting :)12:36
loologra: Could you set milesone + track in jaunty + assign yourself ot it?12:36
ograi'll do the paperwork afterwards12:36
davidmOk12:36
davidmmoving on12:36
davidmbug #319729: missing pselect() and ppoll() syscalls on ARM need to forward upstream to linux-arm-kernel12:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 319729 in linux "ARM architecture lacks support for pselect() and ppoll()" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/31972912:36
loolamitk isn't around12:37
loolI think it was determined in the release meeting that this was fairly important12:37
loolThere was discussion between pgraner and scott on they topic12:37
lool*the12:37
davidmOK OK will follow up with amitk off-line12:37
loolOk12:38
davidmOK that was the end of the list any opens?12:38
loolcan't think of any12:39
loolusual reminders about spec status and activity reports I guess :-)12:39
davidmOK then we can actually end the meeting early12:39
NCommanderI do have a quick annoucement12:39
loolWith persia and stevenk missing, we didn't cover much12:39
davidmNeed to see what happened to persia12:40
NCommanderAs of last night, there are no more ARM specific failures in main. (there are a few general failures, and a few packages on x86 that got built on ARM by accident)12:40
davidmStevenK is on holiday today to tomrrow12:40
loolwow congrats12:40
NCommander(I nailed down KDE's last remaining main package12:40
davidmCGreat12:40
NCommanderuniverse is slightly less happy, but at least main is on par with the Intel ports ;-)12:40
loolNCommander: on to universe and beyond!12:40
NCommanderlool, on my todo already ;-)12:41
loolSCNR12:41
NCommanderSCNR?12:41
davidmlool, what do we do about x86 packages that can't get built on ARM?12:41
looldavidm: If they don't make sense on arm, they should be listed in P-a-s12:41
loolIt's just cosmetic I think12:42
NCommanderWe also have a few LP farts12:42
NCommanderWhen the port was bootstrapped, LP ignored P-a-s at first on ARM12:42
* NCommander looks at libx86 on ARM ...12:42
davidmI think we inherit  P-a-s from Debian?12:42
looldavidm: In all cases, no need to worry about it12:42
looldavidm: Yes12:42
looldavidm: Albeit I don't know whether it's still working properly as Pas moved to git in Debian and that needed some adjustments on our side12:43
loolAlso the team maintaining Pas was made of 4 people actually connected to canonical IIRC, and the new team isn't connected at all I think12:43
davidmOk thanks12:43
loolActually 3/4 were related to canonical12:43
loolSo I don't know whether that calls for a different handling of Pas or not12:43
davidmdo we need to take this up with someone?12:44
davidmOk lets take it off line and close the meeting12:44
looldavidm: We could do it as a low priority task I guess; reviewing whether more packages need to go in there and sending that to Debian12:44
davidmclose meeting going once12:45
davidmlool, OK that makes sense12:45
davidmclose meeting going twice12:45
