MootBotNew Topic:  dyfet to test recent banshee release and report to the banshee bug13:04
ograNCommander, it was never fixed13:04
dyfet`That was done :)13:04
NCommanderogra, it says Fix released13:04
ograNCommander, no idea why bjf closed it13:05
dyfet`(I mean the task)13:05
ograright13:05
NCommanderogra, oh13:05
ograhe just closed it when the release was done13:05
ograsince nobody (including myself) could reproduce it back then13:05
NCommanderogra, *sigh*, we probably should track that for lucid13:05
ograi tracked it for linux-fsl-imx51 generally for now13:05
dyfet`ogra: plars reproduced my version of the bug, I could never reproduce yours :)13:05
NCommanderogra, so no action item needed, right?13:06
ogradyfet`, different one13:06
plarsdyfet`: this is the banshee bug?13:06
ograNCommander, nope13:06
NCommander[topic] lool and NCommander to discuss u-boot upgrades off-channel and report back13:06
MootBotNew Topic:  lool and NCommander to discuss u-boot upgrades off-channel and report back13:06
ograNCommander, i could add more debugging stuff, but given we'll default to alternate that will happen anyway during lucid13:06
=== dyfet` is now known as dyfet
NCommanderogra, we're going to alternates for lucid?13:07
NCommanderOr just making sure they work.13:07
StevenKThat is/should be a spec13:07
ograsee the specs13:07
ograi added the list from the internal wiki to the MobileTeam/LucidSpecifications wikipage btw13:07
NCommanderogra, right, sorry. I'm not caffinated yet13:07
ograin the "high prio specs" area13:07
NCommanderI don't think we need UNR/UMR status review since we just released13:08
NCommander[topic] Specification Review13:08
MootBotNew Topic:  Specification Review13:08
ograno, none of these13:08
ograso ...13:08
ograi sent that mail13:08
NCommanderI think the easiest way is to go right down the list13:08
ogradid everyone make a pick of a favorite spec from the high prio list ?13:09
JamieBennettogra: yup13:09
dyfetYes13:09
NCommanderyeah13:09
ogracool :)13:09
ograso lets drop them in the channel one by one ...13:09
NCommander[topic] # ARM: default to alternate image, make desktop image optional13:09
MootBotNew Topic:  # ARM: default to alternate image, make desktop image optional13:09
NCommanderI'd like to take this one if no one objections13:10
ografine with me, add your name to it on the wikipage13:10
NCommanderogra, actually, this should be broken up per-SoC13:10
NCommanderI have no imx51 hardware13:10
ograyou will get some13:10
NCommanderOh13:10
NCommanderproblem solved13:10
ograwe'll need to re-shuffle anyway ...13:10
StevenKHm. My pet spec isn't in the high prio list13:11
ograand we'll get B3.0 (hopefully)13:11
NCommanderogra, I'll hold a lock open on the wiki and add the names as we go spec to spec13:11
NCommander[topic] ARM: 2D launcher for UNR13:11
MootBotNew Topic:  ARM: 2D launcher for UNR13:11
ograStevenK, well, you are supposed to take at least one from the high prio list13:11
ograi'm fine taking the 2D launcher if nobody else wants it13:11
JamieBennettI already have a spec but I wouldn't mind looking at the 2D stuff13:11
JamieBennettgo ogra13:11
ograJamieBennett, feel feree13:11
StevenKogra: It's high prio, it isn't on the list. It needs to be13:12
JamieBennettlol13:12
ogra*free even :)13:12
NCommanderStevenK, which one do you want me to bump13:12
JamieBennettogra: OK, I'll take 2D and Device Tree's then13:12
StevenKNCommander: My name for it is 'mobile-lucid-une'; Renaming UNR to UNE13:12
ograJamieBennett, cool ... though device tree will mostly live at the kernel team13:12
ograJamieBennett, on our side it will be more testing than development work i suspect13:12
JamieBennettogra: that's what I thought hence my backup spec ;)13:12
ogragreat13:13
ograadd your name to them13:13
NCommanderogra, I'll be adding all the names. Just easier if one person does it13:13
NCommanderStevenK, added, and put your name on it13:13
ograok13:13
StevenKNCommander: Okay13:13
StevenK*Now* I have a high prio spec :-)13:13
ograheh13:13
NCommander[topic] ARM: cut down UNR seed13:13
MootBotNew Topic:  ARM: cut down UNR seed13:13
dyfetWill I need to fight Paul in the Arena of death for that one? ;)    I see the one below as a related subset of this, too...13:13
NCommanderWe're doing ARM UNR for lucid?13:14
StevenKNCommander: I'll take that one13:14
ograNCommander, thats the plan ... thus the 2D launcher13:14
NCommander[topic] ARM: lightweight webkit based browser13:14
MootBotNew Topic:  ARM: lightweight webkit based browser13:14
* NCommander knows a few browsers like that already exist ...13:14
StevenKI'm going to have to fiddle with seeds a lot due to the other 2 specs I'm writing, so13:14
plarsdyfet: nope, I just transposed them into lp for the purposes of getting them over, they are yours13:14
ograi would propose that one to take as a team spec13:14
NCommanderepiphany and midori come to mind13:14
ograright13:14
NCommanderWho wants it?13:15
ograeach of us should use a different browser for a month13:15
StevenK*On ARM*13:15
plarsNCommander dyfet has expressed interest13:15
ograi'll take the lead on it but would like to see team participation13:15
NCommanderI'll assign it to dyfet13:15
ograok, give it to dyfet13:15
NCommander[topic] ARM: Per SoC Power management improvements13:15
MootBotNew Topic:  ARM: Per SoC Power management improvements13:15
ograthats nasty13:15
NCommanderThis one is probably going to live mostly on the kernel side of things13:15
ograand rather kernel team stuff13:15
NCommandersomeone needs to track this, on a per SoC basis13:15
ograbut we're supposed to do the paperwork i think13:16
NCommanderSince quite a bit of the power stuff isn't going to carry over13:16
ogracarry over ?13:16
ograwe didnt even remotely look into it yet :)13:16
NCommanderogra, er, its SoC specific, like low power modes13:16
NCommanderI think13:16
ograright13:16
NCommander*/two cents*13:16
ograbut we didnt do anything specific for PM ever13:16
ograapart from upstream kernel stuff per SoC13:17
NCommanderogra, we've yet to have ARM hardware that actually has a battery for anything aside the RTC13:17
NCommanderActually13:17
ograindeed13:17
ograstill powertop and friends work fine on babbage for example13:17
NCommanderogra, we need a sleep/hibrenate ARM spec :-/13:17
ogra++13:17
ograplease add it13:17
NCommanderogra, I think this spec should be assigned to whoever heads an SoC13:17
NCommanderAnd spit up apporiately13:17
ograok, since nobody steps up i'll take the PM one13:18
NCommander[topic] ARM: Sleep/hibernation support and testing13:18
MootBotNew Topic:  ARM: Sleep/hibernation support and testing13:18
StevenKHaha, 'spit up'13:18
StevenK*Split*13:18
ograi'm fine taking that too if nobody else wants ... the testing part should be split off to plars or GrueMaster13:18
NCommanderStevenK, er, split :-P13:19
NCommander[topic] ARM: Make gcc default to ARMv7 and Thumb213:19
MootBotNew Topic:  ARM: Make gcc default to ARMv7 and Thumb213:19
plarsogra: it'll be covered in testing, certainly13:19
NCommanderThis one kinda tricky13:19
StevenKWasn't that done already?13:19
NCommanderStevenK, we went to ARMv6+VFP13:19
ograwho agreed on that one even ?13:20
NCommanderI worry if we go to ARMv7 and Thumb2, we'll have a ton of breakage in a LTS cycle13:20
ograyep, same here13:20
StevenKThen spec it :-)13:20
ograbut i surely was discussed in advance13:20
StevenKWere you?13:20
* StevenK cackles13:20
* ogra wasnt :P13:20
NCommanderwho wants this one?13:21
NCommander(are we assigning specs for implementation, or just who's actually drafting one)13:21
NCommander(just for clarification)13:21
ograownership until UDS for now13:21
NCommanderThis one is a priority spec13:21
ograwe can discuss implementation later13:21
NCommanderif we're going to make the change, we want to do this BEFORE the toolchain uploads13:22
StevenKToo late13:22
ograyeah13:22
NCommanderd'oh13:22
ograand we want to be able to discuss it13:22
ograso it wont be implemented before UDS anyway13:22
ograwell, give it to me for now13:22
NCommander[topic] UNR: Add support for alternate installer13:23
MootBotNew Topic:  UNR: Add support for alternate installer13:23
ograpfft13:23
NCommanderI won't mind taking this one if StevenK doesn't want it13:23
* NCommander knows StevenK likes UNR specs13:23
ograwho wants that anyway :P13:23
StevenKI do want it13:23
ograalternate ?13:23
ograwhy ?13:23
NCommanderStevenK, don't we have alternates indirectly via netboot though?13:23
* ogra thinks its a step backwards 13:23
StevenKI'm not sure it buys it much, but I'm happy to entertain it long enough to talk about it13:24
ograNCommander, we have only-ubiquity for sure13:24
StevenKs/it much/us much/13:24
* NCommander vaguely remembers this conversation at Karmic UDS13:24
* ogra finds it massively silly13:24
NCommanderogra, UNR exists as a task in archive, and shows up in the netboot installer. I don' tknow if it works13:24
StevenKYes, we shouted you down there too13:24
NCommander[topic] UNR: Include new DX team enhancements13:24
ograNCommander, yes, still, alternate takes twice the time to install for no gain at all13:24
MootBotNew Topic:  UNR: Include new DX team enhancements13:24
* ogra guesses thats a clear StevenK spec13:25
NCommanderogra, well, more advanced partitioning, but in general, I agree.13:25
StevenKogra: Full crypted disks for UNR?13:25
NCommanderI think we want alternates13:25
NCommanderbut they're not 100% needed IMHO13:25
* ogra doesnt13:25
ograand finds it a silly decision ... but we'll discuss it13:25
NCommander[topic] UNR: cut down non ARM UNR seed13:25
MootBotNew Topic:  UNR: cut down non ARM UNR seed13:25
NCommanderI think that's a StevenK spec13:25
StevenKYeah13:25
ograsounds like13:26
StevenKI'll drive it13:26
StevenKProbably implement it too13:26
NCommanderOk, down to the brainstorm specs13:26
dyfetIt should be coordinated with the arm one to some level :)13:26
ograyes13:26
NCommander[topic] replace the maximus blacklist(s) with proper info on the affected windows13:26
MootBotNew Topic:  replace the maximus blacklist(s) with proper info on the affected windows13:26
StevenKI like seed specs, I work on them for 2 days and then mark them all Implemented13:26
* NCommander has no idea what this one is about.13:26
ograbut the arm desktop on UNR might end up totally different13:26
StevenKNCommander: The maximus blacklist is a list of windows that shouldn't be maximised13:27
NCommanderNo one for this spec?13:27
NCommanderOh13:27
NCommanderStevenK, so this one yours?13:27
NCommander(do we want it for lucid?)13:27
StevenKI actually vote persia, in seriousness13:28
NCommanderStevenK, priority?13:28
ograsounds good13:28
StevenKlow/medium13:28
* NCommander thinks we should market priority/desirability for brainstorm specs13:28
StevenKNice to have13:28
ograhow much upstream work is involved ?13:28
ograi guess neil needs to hack a bit on it, no ?13:28
NCommander[topic] reimplement desktop-switcher13:28
MootBotNew Topic:  reimplement desktop-switcher13:28
StevenKThat's a njpatel question13:28
ograyup13:29
StevenKNCommander: I have a high-prio spec about that: mobile-lucid-netbook-sessions13:29
plarshe's well aware of it, but we should point out the blueprint to him13:29
ograhe'll be at UDS13:29
NCommanderStevenK, How do I write it?13:29
NCommanderUNR: Netboot Sessions or?13:29
ograwe can stack them on his lap13:29
ograNetbook Session Switching13:30
ograNCommander, ^^^13:30
StevenKNCommander: UNE: Using sessions to switch session types13:30
ogra(and not netboot :P )13:30
StevenKNCommander just has netboot on the brain13:30
ograyeah13:30
NCommanderStevenK, added and marked to you13:30
* StevenK plugs NCommander into a tftp server, and forces him to netboot Netware 3.513:31
StevenKNow let's see you do useful work!13:31
ograheh13:31
StevenKNo TCP/IP for you13:31
* NCommander writes a NLM to load a linux kernel into kernel space and jumps into it13:31
* plars has done much netware administration :)13:31
StevenKplars: Poor guy13:31
* NCommander knows what netware is.13:31
NCommanderThat's enough for me13:31
StevenKplars: I've done a little, shall we drink beer and cry at UDS?13:31
plarsheh13:31
StevenKI've done worse13:32
StevenKSolaris administration13:32

NCommandercsh FTW13:32
NCommanderBut seriously folks13:32
StevenKIRIX makes me cry13:32
ograi still have an indigo2 sitting behind me13:32
NCommanderWho's getting this spec, or am I leaving it unassigned and unloved13:33
StevenKWhich spec? :-)13:33
* StevenK has lost track13:33
NCommanderStevenK, reimplement desktop-switcher13:33
ograNCommander, StevenK said he already has one for it13:33
NCommanderoh13:33
NCommanderMissed that13:33
StevenKNCommander: Oh, that should be ignored in favour of mobile-lucid-netbook-sessions13:34
NCommanderOh13:34

JamieBennettsounds interesting13:35
NCommanderogra, this is a unifed boot solution for ARM13:36
ograNCommander, only if you convince the vendors :P13:36
NCommanderogra, basically one firmware, one bootloader, one kernel13:36

StevenKYeah, we've already deva'd this vu13:39

ograNCommander, make it medium13:40
NCommanderI'd like this one personally13:40
ograNCommander, we likely get new SoCs that actually need softboot loader13:40
NCommanderogra, *groan*13:40
ograso make it more than wishlist13:41
NCommanderogra, medium then13:41

NCommanderAnyway13:42
StevenKnjpatel: Spec talking about maximus blacklist, you're aware of it?13:42

NCommanderStevenK, I nicked that one in favor the session one13:42
StevenKNCommander: Who will sponsor your work?13:42
NCommanderStevenK, ogra or lool, as both did work with me in writing the dove backend13:43
ograStevenK, debian-cd you mean ?13:43
ograStevenK, that would be me or lool ...13:43
StevenKNCommander: I think the maximus blacklist spec warrants some discussion13:43
StevenKFair enough13:43
NCommanderyea(its not TOO bad ATM, but if we keep adding SoCs, d-cd is going to become sentient and kill us in our sleeps)13:43
StevenKGoing to become? Hell, it is13:43
* ogra doesnt see so much duplication yet ... but yeah13:43
NCommanderogra, the fact of the matter is the image creation bits for ARM are ... fugly at best13:44
JamieBennettNCommander: Can I take the "UEFI bootloader based on Apple's Cortex A8/A9 work" off you, I'm feeling left out :)13:44
NCommanderVFAT images are a hack with d-cd ATM13:44
NCommanderJamieBennett, sure13:44
ograNCommander, well, there is a spec for ext2/3 vs vfat ;)13:44
StevenKPoor JamieBennett, it's quick and the un-fed around here13:44

ograor who added it13:46
NCommanderogra, I dunno, I think someone edited that line13:46
ograah13:46
NCommanderBasically, this is having the installer install itself to the installation media so you can reinstall without the original disk13:46
ograif you have the diskspace13:47
NCommanderogra, indeed13:47
NCommanderIts probably worthwhile to at least consider it13:47
ogracall it recovery partition then ... thats what it is ;)13:47
NCommanderogra, it won't get implemented if I do that. If I give it a new name, it might get implemented ;-)13:47

sabdfl[TOPIC] Archive reorganisation15:08
MootBotNew Topic:  Archive reorganisation15:08
cjwatsonnothing to report this time really, busy releasing :-) we had a DMB meeting which unblocked some bits15:09
sabdflcjwatson: do you recall the debate we had about retaining an "unseeded packages" permission, or group?15:09
* cjwatson checks the logs quickly15:09
pittiwe never officially finished the voting about delegating kubuntu/mythbuntu/desktop either, I think15:09
sabdflit was a long time ago, early in the archive reorg discussion15:09
cjwatsonsabdfl: yes, I think the agreement was to retain that but documentation hasn't been updated15:09
cjwatsonwe discussed it last UDS in the hallway, I recall15:09
sabdflok. i was opposed to a group who's mandate was negatively defined - "you can upload anything that nobody else has asked for"15:09
sabdflanyhow, i want to flag that folks on the MC appear to want to retain something like MOTU15:10
sabdflI recall you quite liked the idea too, but wasn't sure how you now feel15:10
cjwatsonyou then said at UDS that you would be content with it as a transitional measure15:10
sabdflyes15:10
cjwatsonalthough I think MC folks want more than that15:10
sabdflyes15:10
cjwatsonI like the idea but am not sure how to reconcile it with your objection. Can it be made a matter of presentation?15:11
sabdfli'm going to spend time with the MC folks on the issues15:11
sabdfli *thought* they would prefer to become core-dev15:11
sabdflif they are interested in retaining leadership of a group which can upload anywhere that there are not explicit permissions, how do the TB feel?15:12
pittinegative seeding somehow feels strange to me15:12
keesit sounded like there was concern over loss of motu culture (which would be a problem with either losing motu or joining core-dev).  however, it sounds like this culture must adapt given the reorg.15:12
pittiI'm not opposed to having it, but the effects would be weird15:12
cjwatsonI think they would prefer to become core-dev but also (perhaps as a result of the structure of the Ubuntu development community up until now) feel that it's important for there to be a sense of ownership of things that aren't in the seeded sets15:12
cjwatsonpitti: "weird" in the sense of "a bit like the way Ubuntu has operated up until now"? :-:-)15:13
cjwatsongosh, lag-induced mutant smiley15:13
keesif there is a team for unseeded sets that is not core-dev, what defines core-dev?15:13
sabdflkees: good point15:14
pitticjwatson: well, the way it works right now is pretty clear; but if we splice up the archive into the new "per-project" parts instead of main/universe, it becomes like a dumping ground15:14
cjwatsonerr, I'm not sure that premise makes sense15:14
sabdflin that sense it's just "a second policy group"15:14
cjwatsoncore-dev is everything, as before15:14
sabdflwhich is a  bit weird15:14
sabdfllook, i think they have enjoyed the responsibilities, more than anything else15:14
sabdflthere has been a *lot* of great work done15:14
sabdfldecisions to be taken. dates to be set. commitments and goals to meet15:14
sabdfland i think that community has enjoyed defining and taking up that responsibility15:15
cjwatsonI think it's more than that15:15
cjwatsonit's important for the health of Ubuntu that people are taking care of the long tail of packages that aren't part of the major flavours we ship15:15
sabdfl+115:15
pittinot to forget the technical aspect of being able to upload/fix thousands of packages that a lot of people use15:15
* cjwatson recalls the blue sky bombshell :-)15:16
cjwatsonand I do actually think that a number of people within MOTU have internalised that goal15:16
pittiwhich they suddenly couldn't do any more if a lot of those end up in project seeds15:16
sabdflpitti: they don't seem to be objecting to the idea of package sets around things like xfce which are coherent15:16
sabdflso much as missing the piece that cjwatson describes - responsibility for the long tail15:17
pittiright, I didn't imply that15:17
cjwatsonno, I don't think there's substantial objection to that; the very point of package sets is that somebody is taking care of them15:17
pittijust that current MOTUs, many of which are generalists, would certainly like to be able to upload all those packages in the future, too15:17
cjwatsonand indeed most MOTUs when asked stated that they wanted to become core-devs as a goal15:17
cjwatsonbut I think that is separate from what their goals are15:17
cjwatsonerr15:18
cjwatsonthat made NO SENSE15:18
sabdflwe can still leave that option open to them15:18
cjwatsonI think that's separate from what their purpose is, as opposed to their direction15:18
cjwatsonif you see what I mean15:18
sabdflis it harmful to have a governing board for that long tail? i can't think of a case where MC decisions have created complications for the core, can anyone here?15:18
cjwatsonit is perfectly coherent for somebody to want to work their way towards core-dev, but for their actual interest still to be in managing the long tail15:18
sabdflconversely, is it helpful?15:18
jonoI am not aware of a MC decision affecting core15:19
pittisabdfl: I can't remember complications; we have lived a long time with having differnet policies for main/universe without much trouble15:19
sabdflmotu's that are interested in a particular package set could certainly gain permissions for that15:19
sabdflso it's not like we'd have the main problem, where stuff migrated AWAY from the people who were doing a great job maintaining it in universe15:20
cjwatsonI'm generally opposed to a proliferation of governing bodies unless it's helpful (IOW I think the default state is harmful) but in this case my sense is that the MC have done a fine job of being much more aware of issues in the long tail than the TB have been able to be15:20
pitti^ quite a lot of overhead for a quick FTBFS fix or merge, though15:20
sabdflit's also a good source of talent15:20
jonodo we have any visibility on how many MOTUs really dip into the long tail or merely touch focused packages?15:20
sabdflno stats that i'm aware of15:20
cjwatsonmy opposition is mainly to having significantly different procedures and practices for the two segments of the developer community15:21
cjwatsonbut the MC in and of itself is not a source of that15:21
jonoagreed15:21
sabdflthey have published different freeze dates on occasion, but i haven't seen that cause any confusion15:21
cjwatsonhow many MOTUs> I don't have numerical stats, although I got some feel for it from the mails we sent out asking them what their goals were; it's not all by any means but a respectable subset15:22
jonoI believe there has been general worries in the past where MOTUs felt like second-class developers15:22
sabdflright now, i'm feeling it's worth engaging with them and being open to retaining an explicit MOTU role, which is a shift in my position15:22
jonobut I think that perspective wore away somewhat15:22
cjwatsonthe concern that one MC member raised about motu-sru being procedurally unable to operate was new to me, and I'll look into that once I return from the US15:22
sabdfljono: yes, that's been the concern in the past15:22
cjwatsonthe intent was to more or less unify ubuntu-sru and motu-sru, because there's not much point in divergence there, but the intent was not to magically disenfranchise motu-sru15:23
cjwatsonso I think that was an error that crept in somehow15:23
pitticjwatson: wrt motu-sru, AFAIR I already asked some members whether they would be fine about being merged into ~ubuntu-sru, and having one common policy15:23
sabdflpitti: did you get a response we can act on?15:23
cjwatsonsure, but in the meantime motu-sru should still be able to operate15:23
pittiwhich is why we already changed the policy document15:23
pittisabdfl: I'll collect it again, on ubuntu-devel@, to have a paper trail15:24
jonoso what is the primary we are seeking an answer for here? whether to have a motu-like body that covers the long-tail?15:24
pittisabdfl: right now, the wiki policy and team setup is inconsistent, so we need to fix one or the other15:24
sabdflpitti: i'm in favour of empowering the folks who feel like they just got disempowered accidentally15:24
cjwatsonsimilarly we've had some discussions about merging ubuntu-release and motu-release, and generally trying to eliminate unnecessary duplication; but I don't feel at the moment that that applies to the MOTU Council15:25
cjwatsonthat isn't useless duplication, it's useful AFAICS15:25
pitticjwatson: +115:25
sabdfljono: yes. can we do that without the negative connotations15:25
sabdflis the question.15:25
sabdflmaybe we should put the question to them:15:26
cjwatsonI don't think they feel that it's negative15:26
sabdfl "if we leave an MC and MOTU in place, what changes do you think would be appropriate subsequent to ArchiveReorg"?15:26
* kees nods15:26
sabdflthat certainly reduces the pressure to move folks from motu to core-dev15:27
jonoagreed15:27
pittiwell, there are two options AFAICS: (1) define them as "upload anything not explicitly covered", and (2) define them as "package generalists who can upload to all project-seeded packages except core"15:27
sabdflwhich has been a concern15:27
pittiwhere I'm definitively in favor of (2)15:27
cjwatson(I'm not saying it doesn't necessarily appear negative to some new people)15:27
sabdfldo we have a definition for core?15:27
cjwatsonwe do but I'm not sure it's what pitti means?15:27
cjwatsonthere is a 'core' package set which is all the stuff that's in everything15:27
cjwatsonbut it does not e.g. include the Ubuntu desktop (most of it anyway)15:28
pittiI'm not quite sure about the definition of "core" (i. e. the set of packages ubuntu-core-dev has special privileges on)15:28
cjwatsonthe core package set is not the same as historical (ubuntu-core-dev minus motu)15:28
pittibut I'd rather define "MOTU" as a packaging generalist than "one who can only deal with the long tail of packages"15:28
jonois it possible to identify core packages and then everything that is not core is considered the long tail15:28
sabdflwe could start with pitti's (1) with the view that any motu can apply to upload to a package set they are especially interested in15:28
cjwatsonjono: everything is possible given coherent requirements15:29
sabdfljono: sort of gets us back to main :-/15:29
jonosabdfl, indeed15:29
cjwatsonyes, I don't like defining things in terms of historical main either15:29
sabdflagreed15:29
sabdflok, do i have a mandate from TB to discuss some sort of continuation of MOTU with the MC?15:29
cjwatsonsabdfl: (1) with the view ...> agreed15:29
cjwatsonsabdfl: I'd like that, yes15:30
sabdflif we do it, MOTU will either thrive, or folks will slowly move to core+interested-sets15:30
pittiso all the MOTUs who want to do QA-like work (FTBFS/merges/etc.) should apply to core-dev then?15:30
cjwatsonpitti: no?15:30
cjwatsonI mean, no more than currently15:30
sabdflpitti: yes if they want to do that on stuff which is part of a non-restricted packageset15:30
cjwatsonif they want to cover the whole archive, they need to15:30
cjwatsonbut if they just want to address the long tail, they don't15:31
pittiok15:31
sabdflcjwatson: do we have restricted package sets, where generalists need to join the specific permission groups?15:31
pittiit just seems weird to me to drop upload privileges from them once e. g. mythbuntu or the ubuntu games team starts seeding a package15:31
keesseems they would like maintain the definition of motu == !core, but we don't yet have a clear meaning of core yet.15:31
pittiit's not much different than universe->main promotion of course15:32
jonounless I am getting something wrong, it strikes me will always end of up with a main-like definition as we have the concept of packages we consider precious and everything else15:32
keespitti: right, that team would constantly lose privs, which seems ugly15:32
sabdflbut on the other hand, it should be much easier for them to "regain" the priv for that specific package(set)15:32
sabdflthan to get core-dev15:32
sabdfllet's wrap that issue, I will take it up with MC and revert to TB15:32
sabdflthanks for the discussion15:32
jonothanks sabdfl15:32
pittijono: yeah, the "commercially supported" aspect of main is still very fuzzy to me in this new world15:32

sabdfl[TOPIC] Python convergence in Ubuntu and Debian15:33
MootBotNew Topic:  Python convergence in Ubuntu and Debian15:33
cjwatsonsabdfl: I don't believe that any of our current sets are restricted, although we haven't excluded the possibility; if we do I think it would just be the kernel15:33
cjwatsonmy alarm has gone off to indicate that I can no longer IRC in the jetlag limbo, so I'll have to go15:33
sabdflsteve mcintyre and i discussed the current divergence and lack of cooperation between ubuntu and debian on Python packages15:33
sabdflcjwatson: thanks very much15:34
cjwatson(unfortunately, since I'm interested in this, but I'll read logs)15:34
sabdflcjwatson: regards to the on-site team15:34
cjwatsonwill do15:34
sabdfljono was on the call15:34
pittibye cjwatson15:34
sabdflI expressed the view that the divergence was more social than technical, and harmful to both projects15:34
sabdfland asked Steve if he would support us asking the Ubuntu TB and Debian technical architecture committee to review both positions and see if they can make a consensus position15:35
sabdflhe said he would do so15:35
sabdfljono, has this been raised here before?15:35
jonosabdfl, not that I am aware of15:35
pittiwell, it's still rather technical still, AFAICS; e. g. now we have a completely empty set of commonly supported python versions15:35
pitti(sid: 2.4/2.5, lucid: 2.6 only)15:36
keesIIUC, the separation of the python is a technical one, similar to the toolchain, where we have to make design decisions based on our release schedule?15:36
sabdflok. This is just to flag the issue for the TB and to ask if there are any objections here to such an approach in order to resolve the divergence one way or the other15:36
jonoour thinking was that it could be useful for the TB to discuss this with the Debian Technical Committee in a joint session15:36
jonorobbie also recommended we discuss our Python policy at UDS15:37
pittithat would certainly be helpful, especially to see whether a Python transition to 2.6 is still on the table for squeeze, etc.15:37
sabdflkees: the ubuntu and debian maintainers have different opinions about how best to do Python15:37
sabdfland there is currently no pressure for convergence - each is effectively master in their domain15:37
sabdflboth are competent guys15:37
sabdflunfortunately, the accusation has been made against the ubuntu maintainer that he's taken certain decisions specifically to benefit Ubuntu, which I don't believe to be the case at all15:38
sabdflbut it's allowed the divergence to persist15:38
jonowould the TB be happy to offer an invitation to a discussion between the TB and the DTC, including both Python maintainers, to discuss this topic?15:39
sabdflanyhow, if we agree to be bound in arbitration by a joint decision, that could have a big impact on ubuntu if the joint group goes the debian route15:39
sabdfljono: we can agree to discuss, or we can commit to going with a consensus view if one emerges15:40
jonoit strikes me that a discussion is needed first, and a general opinion may well emerge15:41
sabdfl+1 from me to jono's question. kees?15:41
pittisure, there might be other Python areas where we can cooperate better, even if it's not aligning on supported versions15:41
pitti(which is tricky to do given our different release cycles)15:41
kees+115:42
pittiso +115:42
sabdflok15:42
jonowhile I am happy to offer the invite, I think it may be stronger coming from a TB member15:42
pittifrom my POV I'd like to settle the pysupport vs. pycentral question once and for all15:42
jonowould one of you be happy to do this?15:42
sabdflpitti, could you discuss this with doko? or should i?15:42
pittisabdfl: can do15:42
sabdfljono: i wonder if the invitation shouldn't come from Steve, or Steve and I15:42
jonosabdfl, Steve and yourself would be perfect15:42

papapepHello everybody. My name is Josep Sànchez (aka papapep), and I'm from the Catalan Loco Team. I work as IT Manager. I use to try to help people in the forum, irc channel and mailing lists. I've invested some time creating the new loco website, and administering it. I love running the LoCo events, and helping people to "exorcize" their computers and install Ubuntu on them. I also spend some time, not as much as I would like, translating documentatio20:09
