ArneGoetjeslangasek: the final LanguagePackTranslationDeadline is set to 22nd. (Thu). I will ask the Launchpad Translation team for the final export on 23rd. (Fri), which will then be available for langpack-o-matic on 24th (Sat.)building all the langpacks will take around 2 days, depending on how busy the buildds are... So, by Monday, 26th we should have everything ready. Is that too late for you? BTW: since last week, every language-pack update is a full updat03:18
RAOFSo, why is libglib2.0 failing to build on sparc, with the buildd log ending with “no really, you do not get to build glib2.0 here.”?03:22
RAOFhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/43173338/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-sparc.glib2.0_2.24.0-0ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz03:23
slangasekArneGoetje: hi, you got cut off at "full update"03:24
slangasekArneGoetje: 23rd your time, or UTC? :)03:24
ScottKRAOF: Because that build was taking down the buildds.03:31
lifelessRAOF: manual policy override :> aka lamontd03:31
ScottKRAOF: glib2.0 and sparc are not on speaking terms at the moment.03:31
slangasekrpc.lamontd, I think03:32
RAOFOk.  That archive skew causes anything which b-ds on mono-devel to fail to build :(03:33
ScottKYep.03:34
lifelesson all arches ?03:35
RAOFNo, just on sparc.03:35
RAOFWe could probably work around it by explicitly giving mono-devel an option dependency on an older libglib on sparc; then it'd be installable and should work.03:36
ScottKSparc: Now that hppa can't be complete crap anymore, someone has to do it.03:36
lifelessRAOF: given that this cropped up early last week, I'd do it.03:37
lifelessthat or fix the glib issue on sparc03:38
RAOFWe have a sparc porter box, don't we?03:39
ScottKWhere we == Canonical, yes.03:45
persiaThere's probably one in the DC: I know that at least one Sparc user has been reporting that the lucid kernel still can't boot.03:45
ArneGoetjeslangasek: So, we won't have any delta  updates until final release.03:46
persiaNCommander: Any chance you got your sparc booting to help RAOF look at libglib?03:46
ArneGoetjeslangasek: 23rd UTC03:46
ArneGoetjeslangasek: so that the UTC-n timezoners have a chance to get updates in until 22nd their time.03:47
persiaDoes anyone happen to know the name of the script that checks packageset permissions in LP, or what access level is required to set permissions?03:49

persiaThat's likely it.  Thanks.04:05
persiaRIght.  I seem to be good at crashing that :)  Time to find another class of solution :)04:13
slangasekArneGoetje: well, final ISO mastering should start on Monday so that we have the full three days for validation; I think having the deadline prior to end-of-day 22nd would benefit us05:38
slangasekArneGoetje: and of course since this is an LTS, there will be future point releases that can incorporate any translations that miss .005:38
ArneGoetjeslangasek: sure... so, pull the deadline in front? Like 20th (Tue) and export the translations on 21st, like it would do by cron job?05:41
ArneGoetjedpm: ^^05:41
dpmgood morning and thanks for the heads up, ArneGoetje. I think by "having the deadline prior to end-of-day 22nd" slangasek meant having the deadline a bit earlier during the day (didn't you?). I believe otherwise translators would not be happy with the idea of moving it to the 20th at this point and loosing 2 full days of time for translation05:48
ArneGoetjedpm: should we just say we export the translations at 22:00 UTC on 22nd?05:49
slangasekArneGoetje, dpm: yes, I just mean having it a little earlier in the day on the 22nd05:51
dpmArneGoetje, that sounds good to me, if 22:00 UTC is early enough for the release team. slangasek, what do you think the best time would be?05:51
slangasekArneGoetje: is 22:00 early enough that it's available to langpack-o-matic before Saturday?05:53
ArneGoetjeslangasek: well, the export takes 10 hours to finish, lp-o-matic build takes about 2 hours, the buildds chew on them for about 2 days (700+ packages)05:56
* slangasek nods05:56
slangasekand there's a manual upload step that you have to do between lp-o-matic building the source, and the buildds starting to chew?05:57
ArneGoetjeslangasek: yes, including review the logs if anything failed...05:58
ArneGoetjeslangasek: so, if you want to have them before Saturday (UTC, I assume), then exporting them on Wednesday would be necessary, I guess.05:59
slangasek22nd @22:00UTC export, + 12h, +1h padding for log review, takes us to 18:00 your time on Friday, right?06:00
ArneGoetjeslangasek: 19:0006:01
slangasekok06:01
slangasekso a few hours earlier is better?06:02
slangasekI don't want to move the deadline back any further than we have to, but I'd like us to have the langpack build start before the weekend (UTC)06:02
slangasekespecially since I'll be in the air that weekend06:03
ArneGoetjeslangasek: the time for uploading them at 19:00 is OK for me, I can arrange that.06:03

tkamppeterpitti, yes10:05
tkamppeterpitti, should it go into hplip-dbg?10:06
pittitkamppeter: not sure how useful it is; but if you don't normally need it, you might move it to there, and have -dbg depend on libcups-dev perhaps?10:06
hungerSince beta2 I had * the netbook progra chooser thing break, then gdm started to freeze the system und now the whole thing stopped booting:-(10:08
slangasekal-maisan: ok, so mountall was still running when you hit Alt+SysRq+K, probably waiting for the processing of the 'filesystem' signal to finish; that gives us a small clue, but I still don't know where the bug lies.  Can you file a bug on the plymouth package with this information?  It's best if Keybuk can take a look at it10:12

bdrungdidrocks: it FTBFS. upstream will release a vala 0.8 compatible version soon.14:33
persiaWhat's the bug number?  I've been running that kernel for a while now.14:33
mdzcjwatson, it's only lucid14:33
mdz("only")14:33
ogracjwatson, it refreshed on the webpage the second you said that :)14:33
pitti-20 runs fine here..14:33
ograthanks anyway14:33
mdzpersia, I'm in mitigation mode right now14:33
cjwatsonmdz: do you have a bug reference?14:33
cjwatsonoh14:33
cjwatsonpersia asked that14:33
didrocksbdrung: sweet. But can you convince them to ship .c generated files in their release too? (it's just an additional line in autotools if they need help)14:33
bdrungdidrocks: why?14:34
ScottKmdz: I can't do that one.14:34
mdzthe issue is believed to affect ThinkPads14:34
mdz(a few, some, all - I don't know)14:34
cjwatsonmdz: so, is it more serious to render lucid entirely uninstallable for everyone, or to permit ThinkPad users to continue installing this kernel?14:34
cjwatsonpitti: DealingWithCrisis14:35
didrocksbdrung: it avoids building thing needed to build (like the fact we don't run autoreconf during build). It makes life for package maintainers easier and more and more upstream are adopting this for vala14:35
mdzcjwatson, already made the call (based on input from apw) that we should block further distribution of the packages14:35
mdz#ubuntu-kernel is still isolating the root cause from the looks of it14:35
cjwatsonthe one awkward bit about removing it is that it will mean the kernel-overrides script won't work next time, and we'll have to reapply kernel overrides by hand, which is actually non-trivial14:35
bdrungdidrocks: abraca uses scons14:36
dholbach56115114:36
cjwatsonor at least potentially non-trivial - I haven't validated recently that the kernel packages precisely match the overrides in the archive14:36
dholbachpersia: ^14:36
pitticjwatson: shouldn't be that bad, though; these days, binaries are all in main, so it's easy with the +queue page14:36
cjwatsonpitti: section/priority mismatches can cause problems14:36
cjwatsonI don't recommend that people use +queue for the kernel at the moment14:37
didrocksbdrung: ah ok, doesn't know very well scons, maybe no vala integration for autogenerating .c file during release so :(14:37
cjwatsonunless you've personally validated that all the section/priority fields match14:37
mdzcjwatson, is it a lesser evil to leave the packages 403?14:38
cjwatsonmind you, kernel-overrides doesn't actually seem to do anything with priority, which is the significant one for d-i, so if this is a problem then it's already been broken14:39
cjwatsonmdz: I think pitti's right and they can be removed with minimal knock-on effects14:41
pitti-19 is already gone, so -20 is our only kernel right now14:41
cjwatsonthough I'm not wild about the precedent here; kernel regressions are far from unheard of and if we removed them all the time it would be very hard to get anything done14:42
pitticjwatson: the main difference that I see is that with removing the next version would need to be NEWed again, while with 403 it should just work14:42
cjwatsonstill, as you say, you've already agreed to 40314:42
pittibut 403 seems good enough to me, TBH14:42
cjwatsonpitti,mdz: I'm available by SMS all today for NEW processing14:42
cjwatsonlet's not flood mvo with a new batch of update-manager bugs due to the 403 at this point14:42
persiaJust as a note, the kernels have been published for three days according to LP: do we expect most active lucid testers have not yet upgraded?14:43
cjwatsonbad enough that I'm going to be flooded with installer bugs14:43
mdzcjwatson, thanks14:44
cjwatsonmdz: is this certain to be fixed today?14:44
cjwatsonbecause once I lp-remove-package this, I can't easily undo it14:44
mdzcjwatson, we have a known good state to roll back to, so I'm optimistic, yes14:44
cjwatsonspecifically which binary package(s) have been 403ed?14:45
mdzif we don't find a good fix, we should be able to back out the change at least14:45
