ttxwhich leaves some status update on Java-Contents stuff14:03
ludoviccok14:04
ttxI'll be producing Jaunty's Java-Contents file before the end of the week14:04
ludoviccthat's tomorrow!14:04
ttxeuh. Yes.14:05
ludovicchave you looked at the javahelper package, there are some tools to dicover java classes in the installed jars14:05
ttxludovicc: no14:05
ttxI'll have a look14:05
ttxOn the "attract java packagers" side...14:05
ttxI'll try to run a packaging class14:06
ttxsometime in May14:06
ttxbased on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/LibraryPackaging14:06
ttxthat's all in Roadmap.14:06
ttxludovicc: Should we add "Maven support / debian-java sync" to the Roadmap ?14:07
ludoviccok, when I'm more ready with the Maven packaging, I will add a tutorial there as well14:07
ludoviccyes, that would be a good idea14:07
ttxok, let's assume there already was. I'm editing the page as we speak14:07
ttxcould you give us some update on that ?14:07
ludoviccright, I have updated most of the packages used by Maven (plexus, modello, doxia soon) to include Maven POMs14:08
ttxludovicc: in Debian ?14:09
ludoviccthose POMs will then be useful when building other Maven based packages14:09
ttxludovicc: did those mods make it to unstable yet ?14:09
ludoviccit's still in my PPA https://launchpad.net/~ludovicc/+archive/ppa/14:09
ludoviccI will push them to Debian anytime soon14:10
ttxludovicc: cool. If they make it to unstable we will pick the changes up at Karmic sync/merge time14:10
ttxthat's the best way, since the java experts are essentially on the debian side14:11
ludoviccok, that's good. I have seen already many new Java packages in Jaunty, keep going!14:11
ttxludovicc: Did you sort out your membership details ?14:12
ludoviccnext step, I will update maven-debian-helper to work with my last work14:12
ludoviccafter that we should be able to package about any Maven stuff14:13
ludoviccnot yet, I'm waiting for some news. I will try to contact Persia directly14:13
ludoviccI was expecting to chat with him now...14:13
ttxludovicc: you already applied to ubuntu-java, right ?14:14
ttxyes, I see it now14:14
ludoviccyes I did, pressed the button14:14
ttxdoko: could you approve "Ludovic Claude" on ~ubuntu-java ? Or delegate to persia or me the ability to do so ?14:15

ubottuLaunchpad bug 338148 in vnc4 "Needs new version from Debian: fails to build with removal of mesa-swx11-source" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33814822:28
NCommanderThis moved from persia's plate to my own, I confirmed the Debian source package does build fine on Ubuntu. It looks like we can simply sync it, but it I need to test to make sure all patches have been properly merged or gone upstream22:29
persiaExcept we can't sync it because our X trees differ.22:29
NCommanderoh22:29
NCommanderso much for that idea.22:29
persiaAnd parts of the X trees are merged.22:29
persiaOtherwise it would be easy :)22:29
NCommanderpersia, I'm suprised it even built on Ubuntu then22:30
NCommanderWhat a PTIA22:30
persiaYour experience mirrors mine: "That's easy, wait..." :)22:30
NCommanderNot to be a pill, but this isn't an ARM issue22:30

persiaAnyone have questions about the procedure or the deadline?22:36
ograwhy is that still there ?22:36
knomepersia, what is the deadline?22:36
ograit was just a notification from david22:36
GrueMasterProcedure, yes.22:36
persiaGrueMaster, what's the question?22:36
plarspersia: having never been through it before, not even sure what to ask22:36
NCommanderogra, it wasn't on the roadmap, I brought it up for persia22:36
GrueMasterneed to find the email again first, then I'll ask.22:37
ograNCommander, ah, but it shouldnt be a constant item22:37
NCommanderogra, its not on the roadmap22:37
ogragood22:37
loologra: well it would be cool to avoid running flash-kernel twice22:37
persiaplars, Basically, we determine what we're going to look at for the next cycle, and start drafting specifications for discussion at UDS.22:37
ogralool, well, i doubt you can22:37
loologra: perhaps check discussion in debian-boot?22:37
ograyou will only run it twice if a kernel is installed as well22:38
loolThat's what I mean22:38
knomeNCommander, maybe you have a minute after the meeting?22:38
ograit will run once on normal update-initramfs runs22:38
loolWe only rebuild initrd once22:38
NCommanderknome, sure22:38
loolWould be nice to only flash-kernel once22:38
knomeNCommander, just ping me once you are free22:38
loologra: Anyway, I don't want to discuss this tonight => /me is tired22:38
plarspersia: I understand that much, but are these basically wishlist items? or things that have already been fully architected, designed, and have a start on implementation?  Also, with the requirement about needing to sign up to implement it, not sure what to do at this point22:39
NCommanderGrueMaster, I haven't had that APCI issue on real hardware22:39
* ogra just doesnt understand if its dangerous or cosmetic issues lool has with that22:39
loolplars: It's exactly in between: stuff which will be implemented and we need to architect properly22:39
ograif its the latter we shouldnt care in jaunty22:39
GrueMasterI have.  Crown Beach and Acer Aspire One.22:39
persiaplars, Somewhere between wishlist and started :)  It should be achievable within the timeframe, and testable for release.22:39
loologra: It's cosmetic; I'm trying to shoot for the proper design first when I can though22:40
NCommanderGrueMaster, can you try to reproduce with the alternate image? (I just want to see if its live only, since I haven't seen it)22:40
GrueMasterGoes away if you add apci=ht to the kernel22:40
NCommanderGrueMaster, its on the roadmap22:40
ogralool, right, but we'Re at a point where changes need to be minimal22:40
loolYes22:40
ograproper design means big changes in this case22:40
* persia waves the specifications flag harder, in the hopes that people notice that the deadline is *before* release.22:40
loolI agree you have little time to think about this and it's likely we hardcode a call to flash-kernel $somewhere22:40
ograbut lets discuss that later, not tonight22:41
loolpersia: I'm afraid I'm buried in release stuff22:41
* ogra agrees with the tiredness22:41
* lool beats persia with the release flag22:41
ograpersia, davidm said all that last week22:41
persialool, I understand, but anything not put up before the 21st won't make UDS.22:41
persiaI didn't make up the deadline, and it's fairly firm.22:41
ograits only about registering slots in the UDS schedule22:42
loolPerhaps we could move the release by a week to work a little on the specs?   ;-)22:42
persiaheh :)22:42
persiaAnyway, the specs don't need to be *done*, just outlined.  Registration, title, summary, etc.22:43
ogranot even that22:43
davidmSorry guys I know it's a pain but I'm getting pushed hard on this.22:43
persiaYes, all of that.22:43
ograLP blueprint and entry on the wikipage for the schedule22:43
persiaogra, And summary.22:43
* NCommander notes we are two weeks from release22:43
ograits really only for the schedule22:43
NCommanderREPENT, THE END IS NEAR!22:43
NCommander:-)22:43
GrueMasterWhen is RC?22:44
ograthu22:44
NCommanderGrueMaster, 7 days22:44
NCommanderOooooh22:44
NCommanderthat remidns me22:44
NCommanderSomeone needs to get Babbage on the ISO tester22:44
ogramilestones and releases are always on thursdays22:44
ograwe're the thursday distro ;)22:44
* NCommander wonders if that was true for Dapper as well ...22:45
persiaYes.22:45
loolAh I have a topic to add22:45
NCommanderdapper will always have a special place in my heart for its version22:45
NCommanderlool, go ahead22:45
loolwhat images do we want to test for release exactly?22:45
loolI had in mind to test ubuntu live (gnome) for babbage, perhaps the xubuntu one; I wonder about the server one22:46
ogranslu2, babbage versatile, UNR, MID22:46
loolAnd then UNR MID as usual and the netboots22:46
NCommanderlpia alternative22:46
NCommander(now that we have them)22:46
GrueMasterWith all of the images currently available, we need to divvy up the load a bit.22:46
loolAre all of these in the tracker22:47
NCommanderlool, no22:47
NCommanderlool, well, UNR and MID are. NSLU2, Babbage, Versatile, and lpia alt are not22:47
loolGrueMaster: ack, they are too many, i'm losing track of what to test22:47
NCommanderBTW, will we be getting Babbage alternatives? (the installer works)22:47
NCommander(we just need the image building bits)22:47
loolNCommander: there's an entry for netboot I think22:47
* ogra would actually prefer to not have NSLU2 on the tracker :P22:47
loolNCommander: You tried alternate armel on SD card?22:48
loolI made it build, but never heard of anybody running it22:48
NCommanderlool, yeah, both netboot and cdrom22:48
NCommanderBoth work and run through the entire install22:48
loolOh the d-i ones, not the alternate ones22:48
NCommanderAt the time it didn't install the kernel though, but that was about a week ago, so that should be fixed.22:48
GrueMasterThe reason I suggest spreading the load is due to download and install times.  It takes almost an hour to download and install babbage image, let alone do any substantive testing.22:48
loolErr a week ago we weren't building SD cards for alternate22:48
NCommanderlool, I was on the impression the SD cards for alternative didn't have the initrd in place, if thats changed, I'll test them22:49
loolNCommander: What did you test exactly?  The d-i bits?22:49
loolYou grabbed stuff from ports.u.c, right?22:50
loolGrueMaster: ack22:50
NCommanderlool, I took the d-i kernel and initramfs, put them on the SD card and ran the install22:50
loolGrueMaster: one hour sounds a bit long; it's shorter here, and I'm not rich in bandwidth22:50
NCommanderIt completed except for installing the kernel and bootloader since at that point the postinst had not been implemented to my knowledge.22:50
loolGrueMaster: I think we need to split the testing more, and limit the number of images22:50
looldavidm: What images do we really need well tested?22:51
GrueMasterThat includes install.  My install just completed, and I started it at the beginning of the meeting.22:51
plarsDo we have hardware for all of these images?  I've had poor success getting the arm netboot images running well under qemu22:51
loolNCommander: Ok, what I was speaking about with alternate images were the cdimage ones below /ports/daily22:51
loolplars: They should work22:52
loolplars: Unless they are broken, which is possible22:52
loolThat's for versatile22:52
NCommanderlool, that I can test22:52
loolFor iop32x, I have hardware (but nobody cares) and for ixp4xx NCommander and ogra have hardware22:52
plarslool: versatile is the one I'm trying right now, and it takes somewhere around 12 hours just to complete the install22:52
loolThat's all netboots22:52
loolThat's long22:52
NCommanderI thought one of us had orion5x hardware as well22:52
ogralool, well, i just saw infinity complaining that libc6-vfp gets pulled in on all armel arches22:52
ogralool, the versatile slowness could be caused by that22:53
loolUh no22:53
loolDoes it claim VFP?22:53
ograno idea, but vfp is a dep of ubuntu-minimal22:53
loolYes, that's intended22:53
persiaI have orion5x hardware, but I was told that kernel was dropped.22:53
loolJust like i68622:53
NCommanderpersia, not yet to my knowledge22:54
loolplars, ogra: Could one of you confirm whether libc6-vfp is the culprit?22:54
loolAnd file a bug22:54
persiaOh, then I'll try an install once I get the rest of the VFP stuff sorted.22:54
loolWe could perhaps still fix that22:54
ogralool, i have nslu222:54
loolIn qemu22:54
ograplars, ^^^ can you care for versatile ?22:54
loologra: It wont slow down on NSLU2 for sure22:55
ograno, but nslu2 eats my time22:55
loolThe question is in qemu, perhaps emulating a VFP via qemu is slower than running emulated floats in qemu22:55
plarsogra: I can try, but it's almost too slow to even try to test anything22:55
ograso i would prefer to stick with babbage and nslu2 if i'm not urgently needed22:55
loolplars: Use a shell and move the vfp lib away22:55
loolplars: See if that helps in qemu22:55
plarslool: I'll try that22:55
persiaNCommander, According to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.28-11.41/+build/941224 it is gone.22:56
ograplars, if you need help i'm there22:56
plarsogra: thanks22:56
ograi just dont want to lead this additionally22:56
NCommanderpersia, then feel free to ignore me22:56
NCommanderSo who wants the action item to see that getting onto the release tracker?22:56
looldavidm: What images do we really need well tested?22:56
plarsNCommander: I can probably see about that if I have a good list of what should be there exactly22:57
* persia points out that there are 3 minutes left.22:57
NCommanderOh, important heads up22:58
loolplars: Let's stick with the conservative: MID, UNR -- already there; we need to split netboot probably, and then imx51 live, and perhaps lpia alternate22:59
NCommanderI'm not going to be around tomorrow for Easter, or if I am, I will only be so in the morning in all likelyhood.22:59
plarssame here22:59
GrueMasterI'll be around unless the sun comes out, then I'll be at the golf course hiding my golf balls around the course.  :P23:00
