| slangasek | bug #88746 remains an eyesore on my todo list for another week | 14:07 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 88746 in linux "ehci_hcd module causes I/O errors in USB 2.0 devices" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/88746 | 14:07 |
| slangasek | I confirmed the suspend/resume test plan with ogasawara last night | 14:07 |
| fader | A summary of the hardware testing is on ogasawara's weather report | 14:08 |
| slangasek | fader: did you get a chance to talk to ogasawara about linking the HW cert report from the weather report ? | 14:08 |
| slangasek | ok, great! | 14:08 |
| fader | Updated once per day atm | 14:08 |
| * ScottK tosses out a thanks to cjwatson for figuring a way to avoid the qt4-x11 ICE on powerpc (previous week's action). | 14:08 | |
| cjwatson | ScottK: doko fixed the gcc bug too, so that can be dropped the next time qt4-x11 is getting an upload anyway | 14:08 |
| mdz | wow, that's a lot of comments on 88746 | 14:08 |
| ScottK | cjwatson: Thanks. Good to know. | 14:09 |
| slangasek | yes, it's probably a dozen or so bugs in a single bug report :/ | 14:09 |

| slangasek | 'hardware testing' is the only thing on my agenda here - are we in good shape for certification testing on the beta? | 14:10 |
| fader | Yup, we're getting good coverage | 14:11 |
| fader | file:///home/fader/Desktop/cr-20090320.html | 14:11 |
| mdz | the (only) two failures both look like problems with the test suite | 14:11 |
| heno | see http://people.ubuntu.com/~fader/hw-testing/current | 14:11 |
| cjwatson | there is a known problem with cciss and lvm, which fader's testing uncovered | 14:11 |
| fader | Modulo a couple of hardware issues that we're still working through, there are only 2 failures that as mdz says are things we need to look at with checkbox | 14:12 |
| cjwatson | bug 341928 | 14:12 |
| ubottu | Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/341928/+text) | 14:12 |
| mdz | ouch | 14:12 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: beat me to it | 14:12 |
| cjwatson | I suspect that at this point we won't manage to clean that up for beta, but we have a rough idea of whereabouts the problem lies | 14:12 |
| mdz | release note? | 14:13 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: something that we could preemptively errata then? | 14:13 |
| cjwatson | yes, I think so | 14:13 |
| slangasek | (erratate?) | 14:13 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: can you take that action? | 14:13 |
| cjwatson | I see that it was mistakenly not targeted to jaunty, so I'll do that now | 14:13 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: yes | 14:13 |

| cjwatson | (which is why I'm not panicking) | 14:14 |
| slangasek | heno: anything else showing up as a concern from the QA side? | 14:14 |
| mdz | I believe there's some infrastructure work on the ISO tracker for beta | 14:14 |
| slangasek | ah? | 14:15 |
| pitti | heno: is the process of feeding bugs to teams and getting them reviewed/processed/ct-rev'ed working now? | 14:15 |
| mdz | RT 3363 | 14:15 |
| mdz | 33363, rather | 14:15 |
| mdz | ETA is today | 14:15 |
| heno | yes, we've been allocated a new server, not sure if we will migrate for beta, likely not | 14:15 |
| slangasek | would that at least give you streamlined access to the SQL db, or is that dependent on migration? | 14:16 |
| slangasek | I got halfway to putting UNR on the tracker, but I would need another RT to add test cases for it :) | 14:16 |
| mdz | I gave a heads up to IS that cdimage was a likely contentious resource | 14:16 |
| heno | pitti: the infrastucture is all working, not sure how much uptake there is - some teams still have a long list of old assigned bugs | 14:16 |
| mdz | (for beta image testing) | 14:17 |
| heno | slangasek: I'm sure we can do db updates even on the current setup | 14:17 |
| lool | slangasek: Test cases are a bit of a mess, we have a bunch of them, but it's not clear which site to fix (testcases.qa.u.c or the wiki) | 14:17 |
| pitti | heno: from my perspective it's working well, we get some important bugs tossed from QA, and I channel them to people, etc. | 14:17 |
| lool | But we certainly have a list of things to test in UNR, thanks to OEM's earlier testplan efforts | 14:17 |
| heno | we're setting up a backup mirror just in case too | 14:18 |
| mdz | there are 48 bugs on the regression list, 15 of which have no importance set yet | 14:18 |
| heno | sbeattie: ^ | 14:18 |
| cjwatson | ... 13 | 14:19 |
| heno | slangasek: about other concerns - not yet, but I'd like us to do some more audio testing | 14:19 |
| heno | We are also doing a run of manual testing of the laptops in Montreal starting today, following the test plan at http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Plans/LaptopTesting | 14:19 |
| heno | This will include running the suspend / resume script | 14:20 |
| slangasek | what sort of audio testing? verifying that it works on different hardware? | 14:20 |
| mdz | there are 276 open suspend/resume bugs resulting from the testing, about half triaged I estimate | 14:20 |
| slangasek | lool: test cases for what? ISO testing? | 14:20 |
| heno | fader: is that all lined up to go ahead? | 14:20 |
| lool | slangasek: for UNR | 14:20 |
| lool | slangasek: Yes, for the iso testing tracker | 14:20 |
| fader | heno: Yes, we're doing manual laptop tests today | 14:20 |
| heno | slangasek: yes that and some more testing around VoIP | 14:21 |
| fader | David Bensimon is helping with that which I really appreciate :) | 14:21 |

| slangasek | lool: hrm, how many is "a bunch" then? we don't want too much combinatorial explosion on the ISO test cases... | 14:21 |
| lool | slangasek: There is a lot of coverage, I don't think you want to link them all to the ISO testing site, but we could select some for that | 14:22 |
| slangasek | heno: sounds good - shall I assume that any problems found will be filed and escalated? | 14:22 |

| MootBot | New Topic: Desktop team | 14:23 |
| pitti | as usual, report is on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/ReleaseStatus | 14:24 |
| slangasek | rickspencer3: heyo | 14:24 |
| slangasek | (and pitti :) | 14:24 |
| pitti | please notice that I took the fixed bugs off the list (some were still mentioned in the agenda) | 14:24 |
| pitti | we made quite some good progress on fixing RC bugs last week, especially in the X.org area | 14:24 |
| pitti | unfortunately the list still grows instead of shrinks, but that's mostly because there are more and more "less critical" things getting on that list now | 14:24 |
| pitti | the first four bugs are still nasty, but all other bugs are entirely tractable and on track to get fixed by the release; I grouped them accordingly on the wiki page | 14:24 |
| slangasek | pitti: which ones were still on the agenda that were fixed? that list should've been filtered already | 14:25 |
| pitti | we'll get a new GNOME maintainer next week, so he can hopefully help out with e. g. 325973 | 14:25 |
| pitti | slangasek: the nss comodo one, the fglrx migration | 14:25 |
| mdz | 304871 -> has that been escalated to intel? | 14:26 |
| pitti | and the compiz flicker | 14:26 |
| pitti | mdz: yes, many times | 14:26 |
| pitti | mdz: they basically stop supporting old hardware :( | 14:26 |
| pitti | and likewise, putting most of their energy into developing UXA | 14:26 |
| mvo | pitti: compiz is still flickering with notify-osd? | 14:27 |
| pitti | so keeping support for the i8xx chips has become pretty much a community effort nwo | 14:27 |
| rickspencer3 | mdz: to them, the fix is to buy a shiny new card that works with their new code | 14:27 |
| pitti | mvo: oh, is it? I thought that was fixed for good? | 14:27 |
| mdz | rickspencer3: more like a new motherboard or laptop :-/ | 14:27 |
| pitti | mdz: which isn't entirely out of Intel's interest.. | 14:28 |
| pitti | </snide remark> | 14:28 |
| mvo | pitti: yes, should be fixed | 14:28 |
| lool | exactly what I was thinking :) | 14:28 |
| pitti | mvo: right, what I thought | 14:28 |
| slangasek | mvo: yes, pitti was commenting that he had closed the bug :) | 14:28 |
| pitti | so, option 1 is to transition those people to vesa on upgrades | 14:28 |
| pitti | rickspencer3 and I also mentioned short-term contracting a driver developer, but I guess they don't exactly grow on trees | 14:29 |
| mvo | aha, sorry. misread the comment then | 14:29 |
| mdz | option 2 is to punt and say that it's dead upstream and we can't do much about it | 14:29 |
| slangasek | pitti: bug #304871 does show a different error with the new upstream version than it did before, perhaps that's more tractable? | 14:30 |
| pitti | mdz: right, that's pretty much option 1 (i. e. at least not entirely break the upgrade) | 14:30 |

| mdz | I'm happy for the desktop team to make the call on how to handle it; do we need to discuss more in the meeting? | 14:30 |
| pitti | slangasek: I noticed, but to me personally it's just gibberish, I'm afraid; I'll consult with bryce, the last testing results are not even a day old | 14:31 |
| slangasek | (there's also wildfire saying that he has "the same failures" after upgrade, but there's no context for what that means since he hadn't previously commented on the bug with any kind of error message...) | 14:31 |
| pitti | mdz: not from my side; we can always move them to vesa as a last resort | 14:31 |
| * slangasek nods | 14:31 | |
| pitti | slangasek: Anand Kumria did comment a lot before, and it's not fixed for him either | 14:32 |
| slangasek | pitti: he commented a lot, but *none* of his comments link his problem to the error in the bug title | 14:32 |
| * ScottK has i865 hardware he can do testing with if needed. | 14:32 | |
| pitti | ah, I see | 14:32 |
| ScottK | (and a related self interest in this getting fixed) | 14:32 |
| pitti | ScottK: can't hurt; the bug is about i845, but if it previously failed for you, and now works, that'd be a good sign | 14:33 |

| MootBot | New Topic: Mobile team | 14:33 |
| lool | list of specs and bugs on our radar <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/Roadmap>; current high-level status per topic: | 14:34 |
| lool | * UNR: good shape; most bugs discovered during testing of this spin are not UNR specific | 14:34 |
| lool | * MID image was broken, likely due to the broken deps on lpia which cjwatson fixed recently; Emmet and Steve looking at fixing it and QA (Paul and Tobin) to look at it again on Monday; 345621 | 14:34 |
| lool | * armel's "iMX51 Babbage" work: providing install media images, general enablement, kernel fixes/debug, integration, installer; good progress, but installer work is the scary part and is late; 345534 and misc others | 14:34 |
| lool | * VFP optimized libs: infrastructure now runs fixed kernels \o/ vfp libc pushed, ~4 other remaining libraries to come next week after beta (pango1.0, gtk+2.0, cairo, ffmpeg-debian); relatively low risk as the changes should only add files to the armel binaries; 303232 | 14:34 |
| lool | * NEON: last minute request to support NEON hwcaps; kernel part uploaded; needs a couple of glibc patches similar to VFP support aimed at just after beta; 343602 | 14:34 |
| lool | * milestoned bugs: almost no progress, more focus on them once we have a babbage daily image | 14:34 |
| lool | * Poulsbo drivers: late, but initial packaging for intrepid seems ready now; needs checking with bryce that it's ok to proceed to similar changes in jaunty, FFE, and actual upload; still seems preferable than a SRU; 335276 for intrepid | 14:34 |
| lool | <done with dump> | 14:34 |
| mdz | lool: is it still impossible to test UNR using KVM due to the launcher requiring 3D? that may be a consideration for ISO testing | 14:34 |
| cjwatson | lool: also, armel is in bad shape installability-wise right now | 14:34 |
| cjwatson | I've been working on fixing some of that stuff up today | 14:34 |
| cjwatson | but it will bite any current images | 14:35 |
| lool | mdz: I asked qa folks in our team to see whether virutalbox GL support helps | 14:35 |
| davidbarth | lool: does it support GL on Linux now? | 14:35 |
| lool | cjwatson: Ok; I've seen the number of ftbfs was relatively high yesterday ~350 or so and thought we'd look more into it as we face installability issues when building images and when working on general archive consitency; it has indeed been less of a focus recently | 14:35 |
| davmor2 | I'm sure most people who have netbooks can at least test live desktop if not install | 14:36 |
| slangasek | lool: 280669, 338148 are not targeted to jaunty (from your roadmap); should they be? | 14:36 |
| cjwatson | lool: a lot of it was due to libgnome being outdated, which will be fixed as soon as the armel buildds get unstuck from whatever they're very slowly building at the moment | 14:36 |

| lool | slangasek: 338148, no, just an armel ftbfs which we're trying to get fixed to improve the number of building packages | 14:38 |
| slangasek | lool: could you open tasks on 303232 on the libs that are going to be changed, so that the scope of this is more easily apparent? | 14:38 |

| mdz | given that's a focus area | 14:45 |
| pgraner | apw: your turn again | 14:45 |
| apw | most of the bugs we have are still being investigate | 14:45 |
| apw | we have a lot of bugs, but no real view on a single low haning fix | 14:46 |
| apw | we also have those false positives which we will want to push out an | 14:46 |
| mdz | https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs?field.tag=suspend shows 276 bugs, *lots* of incomplete but a significant number still new | 14:46 |
| apw | update to the userspace tools | 14:46 |
| apw | yes. regressions are taking priority at the moment | 14:46 |
| mdz | are the suspend/resume regressions tagged as such? | 14:47 |
| slangasek | the false-positives are included in that count of 276? | 14:47 |
| apw | they will be yes | 14:47 |
| mdz | slangasek: yes, I can see several in the list which are open | 14:47 |
| mdz | apw commented he thought he had found one of the false positive triggers | 14:47 |
| mdz | which sounds like it could affect a lot of folks | 14:47 |
| apw | mdz i haven't tagged any as regressions, but that is a fair point and should be done | 14:48 |
| apw | yeah i think i have managed to trigger a false positive here, and think i know the underlying cause | 14:48 |
| mdz | it should be standard practice in triage to read the comments and if they indicate it's a regression, tag it | 14:48 |
| apw | just need to figure out how it gets left in a mess | 14:48 |
| slangasek | is there enough information in the false-positives to let QA systematically clean them out? | 14:48 |
| apw | mdz agree, my bad | 14:48 |
| apw | slangasek, they are indistingishable unless the user knows they didn't suspend | 14:48 |

| apw | but we should put together a standard reply and ask qa to do first dibs touch on all of them | 14:49 |

| pgraner | I'm asking ogasawara to take a pass thru them and get a better idea of why and how they are happening | 14:51 |
| mdz | slangasek: many of them look to be related to update-grub | 14:51 |
| mdz | based on a random sampling | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | some of those are "victim" failures; the "operation not permitted" ones are due to the casper bug on USB sticks that Evan fixed a little while ago | 14:51 |
| ogasawara | pgraner: finding a lot of em are really grub issues | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | (I'm not sure why the linux side of that particular bug is still open) | 14:51 |
| pgraner | We should have a clear picture early next week | 14:51 |
| slangasek | yes; a certain amount of that is inevitable based on the limited improvement we were able to make to update-grub to avoid it silently clobbering configs on upgrade | 14:52 |
| mdz | cjwatson: there are also some random program crashes and such | 14:52 |
| mdz | but I think there are hints that the maintainer scripts could be made more robust | 14:52 |
| cjwatson | ogasawara: bug 292159, for your reference | 14:52 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 292159 in casper "MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive. " [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/292159 | 14:52 |
| ogasawara | cjwatson: yup, saw a few dups of that bug as well | 14:52 |
| pitti | I also saw a bug where dpkg was completely hosed | 14:53 |

| mdz | a lot of them are on pre-jaunty kernels | 14:53 |
| mdz | not sure if they're old or being reported on stable | 14:53 |
| pitti | like someone or something deleted /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list or so | 14:53 |
| cjwatson | pitti: right, probably filesystem corruption that will result in a random firehose of bugs to miscellaneous packages | 14:53 |
| pitti | I generally find a lot of noise and local corruption issues on those package failures | 14:54 |
| cjwatson | me too | 14:54 |
| mdz | cjwatson,pitti: let's discuss some heuristics to help filter those out | 14:54 |
| mdz | (offline) | 14:54 |
| pitti | yeah, and also better log acquisition to do auto-duplication | 14:54 |
| mdz | e.g. segfaults should probably never be reported this way | 14:54 |
| mdz | if it's a real bug, it'll have its own crash report | 14:54 |
| mdz | pitti: yes, it takes a lot of trawling through DpkgTerminalLog.txt to get to the real problem | 14:55 |
| mdz | what's the verdict on kerneloops? | 14:56 |
| pgraner | kerneloops package. We are continuing to fix bugs. The package will stay in universe for Jaunty, we will MIR for Karmic. Foundations team (Keybuk) will be taking ownership for Karmic. | 14:56 |
| mdz | should probably update the MIR bug accordingly, that's currently an open High importance bug | 14:56 |
| pitti | it got a lot better with kenvandine_wk's and mdz's fixes yesterday, but it's late indeed | 14:56 |
| pgraner | mdz: ack I'll do it after the meeting | 14:56 |
| pitti | and either way this isn't something we'd ever want to enable by default in stables anyway | 14:57 |
| mdz | I think this is the right thing to do; we didn't get kerneloops working at all until quite late, and it's turning out to have a lot of problems | 14:57 |
| pitti | so if we want to enable it for beta and disable it again for final, that'd be acceptable from my POV | 14:57 |

| MootBot | ACTION received: pgraner to update status on the kerneloops MIR bug | 14:57 |
| mdz | pitti: it's not even installed by default at this point (it's in universe), I don't think it's worth trying to add it given the problems | 14:57 |
| mdz | but we can invite people to opt in by installing the package if you want | 14:57 |

| pgraner | mdz: I'll blog and release note it | 14:58 |

| MootBot | New Topic: Foundations team | 15:02 |
| cjwatson | so due to me screwing up the time I don't have our release status page updated, sorry about that; but the bug count is quite low so I'll just comment here | 15:02 |
| cjwatson | 44194 - moves of various libraries to /lib in the archive now, but wpasupplicant still needs to be syslogified before we can fix this; apparently this has now landed upstream which should make it straightforward to finish off after beta | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | 323108 - mvo just hasn't quite had time yet, but will look at it tomorrow or early next week and is still optimistic for beta; not as important as it looks since update-notifier will nag about it eventually | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | 334284 - evand has made this a lot better than it was, but it's still a bit off. We'll finish this after beta | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | also still trying to get 337306 fixed, which is quite nasty for server OEM users | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | and a couple of us have been beating on the lpia shlibdeps problem that doko identified, which has required a number of rebuilds | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | slangasek gave us approval to keep going on that into beta freeze, since we were over halfway through already, so hopefully we'll finish that | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | finally have also been trying to beat down the number of uninstallables across the board to achieve some kind of reasonable archive consistency for beta | 15:04 |
| cjwatson | Debian added some new sections to their archive recently, which caught us a bit by surprise and meant that a few recent syncs/merges have failed | 15:04 |
| slangasek | the lpia rebuilds are rather beta-critical, to the extent that they might leave packages installable but missing libs | 15:04 |
| cjwatson | the Soyuz guys are dealing with that as a matter of urgency and I've moved all our existing packages out of the obsolete 'base' section, which in fairness we ought to have done years ago | 15:05 |
| slangasek | (at least for anything in the default system) | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | right, some of that has been slowed by running into build failures | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | which tuned me into the uninstallables problem on ports | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | but no major worries from our team AFAICS, beyond that | 15:06 |
| slangasek | 334284 - seems like a rather high-profile installer UI blemish, should we release-note that for beta as well? | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | it is, although the points are much less far out than they were in an earlier version | 15:06 |
| slangasek | ok | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | but yes, I think that will probably deserve a release note; action me | 15:06 |

| ScottK | There's plenty left to do and I imagine there will be until final freeze. | 15:19 |
| ScottK | Process wise we've started public discussion of a motu-release charter. | 15:19 |
| doko | ScottK: are these not yet converted packages? or packages where upstream doesn't have 2.6 support yet? | 15:20 |

| slangasek | as noted earlier, we have some work to do on triaging the regression-potential bugs; overall these seem to be under control | 15:25 |
| mdz | slangasek: I just noticed they don't show up on the weather report, and perhaps it would be useful if they did? | 15:25 |
| slangasek | there were very few bugs that needed to be highlighted for alpha6, those that were are pretty well-known by this point | 15:26 |
| mdz | slangasek: shameless plug for bug 328035? | 15:27 |

| slangasek | mdz: I don't think it's a good "weather" indicator since we don't expect to be completely regression-free as a criterion for release; I prefer to just make sure the regressions get release-targeted if they're critical | 15:27 |
| mdz | slangasek: maybe regression-potential+>=High would be useful | 15:28 |
| slangasek | mdz: well, I'll continue abusing my video inputs today, but I can't reproduce that bug now so I think it's all on you :) | 15:28 |
| mdz | slangasek: do you have a simple method to determine whether a random crash is caused by that bug or something else? | 15:28 |
| mdz | I only noticed by stracing | 15:28 |
| mdz | (bah, let's take this out of band) | 15:29 |
| slangasek | ack | 15:29 |

| slangasek | regression-potential+high - I think it's still possible we would release with such a bug in some reasonable cases, so the weather report would never go green for that item | 15:30 |
| sbeattie | ScottK: wasn't that also a problem in intrepid? | 15:30 |
| ScottK | sbeattie: It is. It's a regression from hardy that's still unresolved. | 15:30 |
| sbeattie | ScottK: generally, we tag those as regression-release, to differentiate from regressions introduced by the current development release. | 15:31 |
| ScottK | Two weeks ago I got told it should have both tags. | 15:32 |
| mdz | sbeattie: you will triage the list and ensure they all have importance set, yes? | 15:32 |
| sbeattie | mdz: yes | 15:32 |
| mdz | dendrobates: there are several regressions assigned to canonical-server | 15:32 |
| mdz | dendrobates: these need your attention to assign them out to your team | 15:32 |
| mdz | I see two New/Undecided hotkey regressions on the list | 15:33 |
| mdz | slangasek: I find http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/regression/regression_tracker.html a more useful overview than the launchpad URL you gave in the agenda | 15:33 |
| mdz | (e.g. it shows assignee) | 15:33 |
| mdz | there are quite a few with no assignee; who is expected to do that? sbeattie? | 15:34 |
| sbeattie | mdz: yes. | 15:34 |
| pitti | slangasek: speaking of hotkeys, with acpi-fakekey not working, does it make much sense to keep those bits in acpi-support? | 15:34 |
| mdz | sbeattie: I count 25 unassigned | 15:34 |
| pitti | I guess many hotkey regressions are coming from that, since acpi-support doesn't actually work any more | 15:34 |
| slangasek | hmm; I continue to assume that the regression lists are intended primarily as input into the release targeting process | 15:34 |
| slangasek | pitti: which bits, acpi-fakekey itself or scripts that use it? | 15:35 |
| pitti | slangasek: both actually | 15:35 |
| slangasek | pitti: I think it's useful to keep the latter as documentation until we can move it somewhere else | 15:35 |
| pitti | slangasek: given that the scripts don't work if acpi-fakekey doesn't work? | 15:35 |
| slangasek | pitti: also, there's a chance that acpi-fakekey *happens* to work for some systems+keys | 15:36 |
| pitti | slangasek: oh, does it? okay; I thought it was completely broken | 15:36 |
| slangasek | sbeattie, ScottK: I think it's reasonable for release regressions still present in the current release to also carry the regression-potential tag? | 15:36 |
| slangasek | anyway, need to move on here, still have one more item and it's non-null :P | 15:37 |
| slangasek | [TOPIC] ISO size | 15:37 |
| MootBot | New Topic: ISO size | 15:37 |
| slangasek | the Ubuntu dailies have all gone oversized in the past week | 15:37 |
| cjwatson | this is mostly delta language packs, isn't it? | 15:38 |
| slangasek | and unfortunately it happened all at once when some deps that were mysteriously absent from the ISO popped back in and added 5MB, so I don't know (yet) where the size went | 15:38 |
| mdz | can you attribute the increase to something specific? | 15:38 |
| cjwatson | I admit I haven't done a detailed comparison | 15:38 |
| mdz | cjwatson: do you have a script for that? | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | mdz: slangasek does, cd-size-analysis on antimony | 15:39 |
| slangasek | I'm going to work on getting us to where we can get ongoing meaningful comparisons of package sizes | 15:39 |
| slangasek | that script depends on the .debs being on disk still | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | right | 15:39 |
| slangasek | so fails miserably in many cases | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | we're due new base language packs on Monday, in any case | 15:39 |
