bac[topic] rockstar to start ML discussion about the lack of UI reviews15:04
MootBotNew Topic:  rockstar to start ML discussion about the lack of UI reviews15:04
bacrockstar attends the AMEU meeting so he's not here now.  i don't think he did this, though.15:05
bache brought it up in the meeting last week and had good statistics on the number of UI reviews that have been performed lately and it was very low.15:05
baci'll remind him to take it to the list and we can chat there15:05
noodles775Yeah, I haven't seen any in a few weeks now (and few before)15:05
intellectronicabac: we've discussed this and we think the stats are wrong15:06
bacintellectronica: really?  that's good to hear.15:06
marsintellectronica, bac, true, but that discussion can probably be saved for the list15:07
bacsinzui: what is your impression?  have you been doing many?15:07
intellectronicabecause of ec2 land people don't commit with the quite tag15:07
sinzuiI was doing many in week 1 and 215:07
sinzui1 last week15:07
gmbbac, intellectronica and sinzui did 3 or for for me last cycle, for sure.15:07
bacintellectronica: why is that?  i thought ec2 land did a good job of getting the ui tag?15:07
* intellectronica shuts up15:07
gmbs/last/this15:07
sinzuiI think this may be indicative that UI should land in weeks 0, 1, and 215:07
gmbbac, Only if you tag the review with 'ui' in the mp.15:08
gmbOtherwise I think it just puts all the names in the [r=] block.15:08
bacgmb: ah, so we need to ensure the ui reviewers are tagging correctly or the MP author does it right.15:08
gmbYes15:08
bacthat's good information to pass on.15:08
bacso we have a failure in tools/procedure not lack of reviewing.  hurrah.15:09
bacmoving on15:09
bac[topic] * ec2 failures - bac15:09
MootBotNew Topic:  * ec2 failures - bac15:09
bacmars and i chatted this morning and we wanted to hear from people how often they are seeing ec2 jobs just disappear and the effect it is having.15:10
bacpersonally i see it a lot and it is very disruptive15:10
jelmerbac: I'm often seeing branches disappear, and it's quite annoying.15:10
bacfor important branches i've been running them locally15:10
marsSo far I know salgado and matsubara have both experienced a few test suite hangs in the past few days15:10
bacalso, my ec2 bill last month was 4 times normal15:10
gmbbac, I've seen it happen twice this week already, it's getting annoyingly common.15:11
gmbI don't see many branches hanging; they just vanish.15:11
bacso how can we attack this problem to figure out what is going on?15:11
marsgmb, the instance dies?15:11
jelmerI haven't seen any hanging branches either (or do they get killed automatically?)15:11
marsjelmer, ^ ?15:11
salgadothe ec2 instance shuts itself down after 8h15:11
gmbsalgado, Ah, so they might well be hangs then.15:12
noodles775I've killed one hanging ec2 land after the log had not been updated for 2hrs.15:12
marssalgado, thanks, that is good to know15:12
salgadoif it's left hung for long enough, it will shut down and you won't get any notifications15:12
noodles775(last week)15:12
jelmermars: yeah, it just disappears silently15:12
bacdid we have this problem before jml's subunit changes?15:12
marsjelmer, think it is inside our outside that 8 hour window?15:12
jelmermars: outside probably15:13
marsok15:13
salgadobac, I think we had it before.  do you know when the subunit changes landed?15:13
marsbac, the changes and fixes landed the 14th of April, your fix landed on the 21st15:13
jelmerI've definitely seen it before his changes as well.15:14
bacjelmer: ok, thanks.15:14
marsjelmer, salgado, that is also good to know.  Thanks.15:14
marsFor everyone's benefit, I am tracking progress on this with Bug 57038015:15
ubottuLaunchpad bug 570380 in launchpad-foundations "ec2test sometimes hangs on the first windmill test" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/57038015:15
bacthanks mars15:15
marsI have some solutions being worked on for this, I will keep everyone updated as things progress15:15
baci guess i'd encourage everyone to not just suffer in silence but (kindly) let mars know when it happens and try to gather some data15:16
bac[topic] * UDS next week.  No meeting or volunteer substitute chair?15:16
MootBotNew Topic:  * UDS next week.  No meeting or volunteer substitute chair?15:16
baci'm at UDS next week and a few others as well.15:16
bacshall we just skip the meeting?15:16
bacor would someone like to volunteer to lead it?15:16
baci think the group silence is a vote to skip.15:17

bacnoodles775, jelmer: everything still going well?15:18
noodles775Yep... although more non-soyuz reviews for jelmer would still be great :)15:18
jelmerI reviewed only two branches last week, mostly because I was distracted by other things. It's all going well otherwise though imo.15:18
jelmerand yeah, more non-soyuz branches please :-)15:19

MootBotNew Topic:  peanut gallery15:19
maxbI have a peanut item: https://dev.launchpad.net/ReviewingCodeImports claims that community members can be members of ~vcs-imports, however, when it was brought up on the mailing list (subj: Code Import Reviews), the thread fizzled out with me producing a list of places where ~vcs-imports perhaps granted too-wide permissions. Someone should decide whether community members really _can_ be in ~vcs-imports or not, and either change the wi15:19
maxbki page or work out how to make it happen.15:19
bachi maxb15:19
maxbI believe this might dovetail with the promised community reviewers email :-)15:20

bacok, then?  do i hear a chorus of 'me'?22:45
rockstarme22:46
* rockstar choruses22:46
bacso in the ameu meeting we determined i was slack for not getting to my tasks22:46
rockstarI am also slack for not sending an email in my drafts folder about UI reviews.22:46
thumperwhat tasks?22:46
bacwe also talked about rockstar's concerns about the UI reviews22:46
rockstarbac, yay.22:46
bacthumper: the same stuff that i've been ignoring:  community review policy and what constitutes testable documentation22:47
thumper:)22:47
rockstarbac, I has an announcement...22:47
bacrockstar: so the concensus is it isn't as bad as your data showed.  just that UI reviewers are marking the MP properly so ec2 land doesn't construct the correct PQM message22:47
rockstarbac, ah, that's what I was being told.22:48
bacwe also talked some about the problem with ec2 losing branches with no email22:48
rockstarHowever, as a ui reviewer, I still don't feel as overwhelmed as I should be...22:48
bacit is really hurting us in lost time.22:48
thumperbac: that'll be the hang followed by the belt and braces shutdown22:49
bacthumper: what do you mean?22:49
thumperbac: perhaps the shutdown code should also email just before22:49
rockstarthumper, you mean "suspenders" ?22:49
rockstar:)22:49
thumperwhen the ec2 instances start up22:49
thumperwe have some code that says22:49

thumpera test hangs22:50
thumpermachine gets shut down22:50
thumperno email22:50
rockstarthumper, although this doesn't always happen for me.22:50
rockstarSometimes the machine is still running 10 hours later.22:50
bacthumper: hmm, i didn't know that.  i'll suggest it to mars22:50
thumperso perhaps before shutdown it should send suicide email22:50
bacthumper: indeed22:50
rockstarThe subject should be "Goodbye cruel world"22:51
bacwe also had this item from maxb:22:51
bacI have a peanut item: https://dev.launchpad.net/ReviewingCodeImports claims that community members can be members of ~vcs-imports, however, when it was brought up on the mailing list (subj: Code Import Reviews), the thread fizzled out with me producing a list of places where ~vcs-imports perhaps granted too-wide permissions. Someone should decide whether community members really _can_ be in ~vcs-imports or not, and either change the wi22:51
backi page or work out how to make it happen.22:51
thumpera bug should be filed about permissions that they shouldn't have22:52
thumperand we'll fix it22:52
thumperwhen the bugs are fixed22:52
thumperwe could open it up again22:52
bacso 1) file bug on extra permissions, 2) fix bug, 3) open vcs-imports to community peeps?22:52
thumperaye22:53
bacexcellent22:53
baci'll find max's email and either file the bug or ask him to do it.22:53
bac[action] bac to see that a bug is filed about vcs-import permissions being to generous22:53
thumpercool22:54
bacalso, i'm going to be at UDS next week so i'm cancelling this meeting.22:54
baceither of you going?22:54
thumperack22:54
thumpernope22:54
marsthumper, good idea about the shutdown mail, I've noted it.22:54
rockstarnope22:54
baci've heard to expect cold, rain, and extreme boringness of venue22:54
rockstarbac, I have an announcement.22:54
bacyes rockstar22:55
* thumper has something to22:55
rockstarbac, noodles sent me an email today telling me to go ahead and announce that I'm a graduated UI reviewer.22:55
bacoh congratulations!22:55
bacso who are the full-fledged reviewers?  just you and noodles?22:56
thumperwhat about sinzui?22:56
baci thought sinzui was still a UI-mentat22:56
thumperI've heard that noodles thinks he is good enough but sinzui is resisting22:57
sinzuiI am22:57
thumpersinzui: stop resisting22:57
thumperresistance is futile22:57
bacuh oh, we woke him22:57
rockstarsinzui is gradiated.22:57
* thumper sooths sinzui back to sleep22:57
baccongrats sinzui too22:57

thumpermore of a reminder for people to read my emails to launchpad-dev22:58
thumperthere are two new testing things:22:58
thumpera better base breadcrumb test case, which uses test_traverse22:58
bacthumper: i read those.  i meant to bring them up today in ameu but forgot.22:58
thumperand self.oopses in the base TestCase class22:58
thumperI wrote up details for launchpad-dev22:58
thumperso details are there22:58
sinzuiNo one wants to be a UI reviewer. They do not like the cool sun glasses and hair cuts you get when you join the club22:59
bacand i'll certainly forget again in two weeks time22:59
bacthanks for those nice new tools thumper22:59
thumpernp22:59
