| * NCommander didn'thave an action to | 14:09 | |
| ogra | sigh | 14:09 |
| ogra | can you send out the two necessary invites today ? | 14:09 |
| ogra | ndec and mpoirier | 14:09 |
| ogra | by mail | 14:09 |
| NCommander | will do | 14:10 |
| ogra | thanks | 14:10 |
| ogra | so kernel status on omap4 is so-lala | 14:10 |
| NCommander | cooloney isn'taround :-/ | 14:10 |
| ogra | it works but i see bus errors if i do heavy compile jobs | 14:10 |
| persia | Interesting traffic on the ubuntu-kernel mailing list. Looks like we'll have *two* OMAP trees. | 14:10 |
| ogra | cooloney is trying to upload the kernel to the canonical-arm-dev PPA atm | 14:11 |
| ogra | persia, we do | 14:11 |
| ogra | one for omap3 and one for 4 | 14:11 |
| ogra | NCommander, please test that kernel too asap | 14:11 |
| persia | Are they both topic branches, or can we build the omap3 one from the linux source package? | 14:11 |
| ogra | so we have more data points | 14:11 |
| ogra | persia, no idea, ask kernel team | 14:11 |
| ogra | i think omap3 is supposed to be from mainline | 14:11 |
| ogra | with some cherrypicks from linux-omap | 14:12 |
| ogra | omap4 is completely TI rebased against our tree | 14:12 |
| persia | I thought omap4 was our tree rebased against TI's kernel | 14:12 |
| ogra | other way round :) | 14:12 |
| ogra | omap4 is TI rebasing their patchset against the maverick kernel | 14:13 |
| * persia is confused by different contents from different sources, and hopes that someone will make it all clear in the future | 14:13 | |
| ogra | easy :) | 14:13 |
| ogra | 10.07 -> TI 2.6.32 with ubuntu configs | 14:13 |
| ogra | 10.10 omap3 and 4 both against 2.6.35 ... omap3 built from mainline, omap4 TI rebased against out tree | 14:14 |
| ogra | clearer ? | 14:14 |
| NCommander | ogra: mind if I move on? | 14:14 |
| persia | Not in any way, because it failed to have any reference to the actual source packages, but that7s OK: the folks who can give me the answer I want aren7t here. | 14:15 |
| ogra | well, can you commit to do some omap4 kernel testing ? | 14:15 |
| ogra | it would really help if more then one person does it | 14:15 |
| * GrueMaster would but ENOHW. | 14:15 | |
| ogra | persia, source is at omapzoom.org for the 10.07 and at kernel.ubuntu.com in git for 10.10 | 14:16 |
| NCommander | ogra: sure, I'lltestmore kernels as well | 14:16 |
| ogra | (or at least its supposed to end up there) | 14:16 |
| ogra | NCommander, thanks | 14:16 |
| ogra | move !! :) | 14:16 |
| ogra | GrueMaster, well, you can test omap3 ... i think amitk had something for us | 14:16 |

| ogra | ask in #ubuntu-kernel or -arm | 14:17 |
| GrueMaster | cool | 14:17 |
| ogra | GrueMaster, how is the SRU front looking ? | 14:17 |
| GrueMaster | qa status: Currently working on internal infrastructure improvements and starting to test app builds this week. | 14:17 |
| GrueMaster | SRU front? | 14:17 |
| ogra | yeah | 14:18 |
| ogra | there are still a bunch of SRUs for lucid, no ? | 14:18 |
| ogra | especially for kernel stuff iirc | 14:18 |
| GrueMaster | I don't know. All kernel issues from 10.04 were for platforms that are apparently not supported by us as of now. Haven't heard from any kernel devs about any test kernels since prior to release. | 14:19 |
| ogra | you pointed at them last meeting | 14:19 |
| ogra | GrueMaster, these platforms are supported for 18 months | 14:19 |
| GrueMaster | ok. | 14:20 |
| ogra | and you pointed out the SRUs yourself last meeting | 14:20 |
| ogra | i.e. the eth0 issues on babbage | 14:20 |
| GrueMaster | I'll have to dig up the list again and see if anyone has moved on them. | 14:20 |
| ogra | ok | 14:20 |
| GrueMaster | I know I haven't seen anything from the kernel team. | 14:20 |
| ogra | if not we need to kick some butts :) | 14:20 |
| ogra | right, can you take an action to clearify who is working on what wrt SRUs in the kernel team ? | 14:21 |
| NCommander | can I move on, or are we waiting for an SRU list? | 14:21 |
| ogra | i guess its all smb but i doubt he'll write the patches himself | 14:21 |
| ogra | NCommander, an action :) | 14:21 |
| ogra | then move onm | 14:21 |
| ogra | i'm happy to be in the action together with GrueMaster | 14:21 |

| NCommander | oh | 14:22 |
| ogra | (that was initially to GrueMaster ) | 14:22 |
| GrueMaster | sure. | 14:22 |
| ogra | but you can action him to assemble a list too :) | 14:22 |

| NCommander | toolchain is no longer broken, but Qt is busted. Will review this failure this week and attempt to resolve, as this is breakinga lot fo rdepends | 14:24 |
| ogra | yeah kde looks bad | 14:24 |
| ogra | as usual | 14:24 |
| ogra | and still libnih | 14:24 |
| NCommander | indeed | 14:24 |
| ogra | that will get us bad days wrt images | 14:24 |
| persia | As usual? | 14:24 |
| ogra | persia, yeah | 14:24 |
| NCommander | ogra: its only broken cause Qt FTBFSed | 14:25 |
| ogra | we didnt have a cycle yet where kde/qt wasnt at least broken once | 14:25 |
| NCommander | and that looks like a timeout | 14:25 |
| ogra | right | 14:25 |
| NCommander | ogra: yeah well, GNOME breaks itself as often, no? | 14:25 |
| ogra | i saw the discussion with lamont in ubuntu-release | 14:25 |
| NCommander | its broken right now! | 14:25 |
| persia | Let's not have a toolkit war. | 14:25 |
| ogra | nah | 14:25 |
| ogra | anyway | 14:25 |
| persia | We need both for the flavours built. | 14:25 |
| ogra | lamont asked that the package gets a pinger mechanism | 14:26 |
| persia | So they need be fixed. Moving on... | 14:26 |
| ogra | for QT | 14:26 |
| NCommander | [topic] ARM Image Status (ogra, NCommander) | 14:26 |
| MootBot | New Topic: ARM Image Status (ogra, NCommander) | 14:26 |
| ogra | instead of working around the timeout | 14:26 |
| NCommander | nothing new to add on my side | 14:26 |
| ogra | so someone has to add such a mechanism | 14:26 |
| * ogra points to #ubuntu-release around 22:00 UTC last night | 14:27 | |
| NCommander | ogra: can you sum up for those who weren't there? | 14:27 |
| ogra | <lamont> ScottK: this early in the cycle, could we just fix the package please? | 14:27 |
| ogra | <ScottK> It's not clear what 'fix' would mean in it's current state since the dbg really takes that long to build. | 14:27 |
| ogra | <ScottK> We are promised qt4-x11 getting more modular, but it hasn't happened yet. | 14:27 |
| ogra | <lamont> something that makes sure we spit something out to stdout every 120 min or so, after verifying that the build is, in fact, progressing | 14:27 |
| ogra | <lamont> take a look at the compilers :-( | 14:27 |
| ogra | <ScottK> Sigh. | 14:27 |
| ogra | <lamont> ScottK: as in this is what I get for bending over and violating rules just to avoid rebuilding oo.o everywhere | 14:27 |
| ogra | sorry ScottK ... | 14:27 |
| ogra | so the request is to not add more timeout override handlers on the buildds but to fix the packages | 14:28 |
| ogra | we need some generic mechanism we can put on a wikipage for that i think | 14:28 |
| * NCommander disagrees ... | 14:28 | |
| ogra | for people being hit by these timeouts | 14:28 |
| ogra | NCommander, can you take that on with lamont ? | 14:29 |
| NCommander | I hate the idea of patching a package so it builds just because its slow | 14:29 |
| NCommander | will do | 14:29 |
| ogra | he's the one to have to do that work all the time | 14:29 |
| ogra | thanks | 14:29 |

| NCommander | ogra: anything else? | 14:29 |
| ogra | nope | 14:29 |
| NCommander | (damn this meeting is goingby fast) | 14:29 |
| ogra | so wrt image status | 14:29 |
| ogra | https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/preinstalled-sd-card-images-for-omap is ready | 14:29 |
| NCommander | \o/ | 14:29 |
| ogra | NCommander, persia and me have workitems there | 14:29 |
| ogra | please everyone have a look and agree/disagree :) | 14:30 |
| NCommander | cool | 14:30 |
| NCommander | ogra: is that it? | 14:30 |
| ogra | GrueMaster, we probably need a specific testing plan since the image operates totally different from what we know | 14:30 |
| ogra | NCommander, yeah, any additions ? | 14:30 |
| persia | Why not combine the two livecd-rootfs tasks, or at least assign the same person? | 14:31 |
| persia | Avoids handoff complexities. | 14:31 |
| GrueMaster | From a boot up standpoint it shouldn't be too different from live images. | 14:31 |
| NCommander | Just that I'm slowing rolling along with d-cd changes | 14:31 |
| ogra | persia, well, i'd rather leave the jasper stuff in one hand | 14:31 |
| ogra | GrueMaster, well, there is a lot that can go wrong with these images | 14:32 |
| persia | ogra: Also, I thought we were splitting the d-i vs. jasper stuff into two tasks, for scheduling reasons. | 14:32 |
| GrueMaster | Other than the initial setup that shouold run at first boot. | 14:32 |
| ogra | basically its not different from what casper does, but the results are more harmful if something fails | 14:32 |
| ogra | persia, d-i vs jasper ? | 14:32 |
| persia | I'm still not entirely happy with the VFAT solution, but will withold detailed complaint until I can come up with something better. | 14:32 |
| ogra | there is no other solution | 14:33 |
| persia | ogra: my/your task. | 14:33 |
| ogra | its a HW limitation | 14:33 |
| persia | You're addressing the wrong complaint :) Wait until I have some alternate to propose, or ignore me :) | 14:33 |
| ogra | persia, ah, i dont know if the WI tracker will still pick it up, feel free to split it | 14:33 |
| * persia tries | 14:33 | |
| ogra | i was inclined to add both of us in front | 14:33 |
| GrueMaster | ogra: Why not add a testplan line to the blueprint and assign it to me. | 14:34 |
| ogra | persia, point is that the u-boot versions we currently have can only read fat | 14:34 |
| ogra | GrueMaster, would you work out a testplan based on the spec ? | 14:34 |
| persia | GrueMaster: I'm done editing: your turn :) | 14:34 |
| NCommander | ogra: persia: please take it offline, then come back? | 14:34 |
| ogra | like "check that the blah worked by looking at blupp" | 14:34 |
| GrueMaster | I can. NCommander: AR time. | 14:34 |
| persia | NCommander: Please. | 14:34 |
| NCommander | persia: please what? | 14:35 |
| ogra | random expression of politeness ? :) | 14:35 |
| NCommander | works me | 14:35 |
| ogra | works you eh ? :) | 14:35 |
| NCommander | er | 14:35 |

| ogra | persia, dunno, nobody answered davids mail | 14:38 |

| cjwatson | Keybuk: uh, ok | 16:05 |
| micahg | he said because of flooding he might have an issue being here | 16:06 |
| nixternal | cjwatson: I would think so, since he was a bit unpatient last time..figured he would be here | 16:06 |
| AnAnt | is it 14:00 UTC now ? | 16:06 |
| nixternal | 15:00 UTC | 16:06 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: have the volume *WAY UP* because someone didn't sit near the microphone (not you, this time) - and just got deafened by the BONG! | 16:06 |
| cjwatson | well, we promised to process him first, but why don't we deal with other applications and then deal with his as soon as (if) he arrives? | 16:06 |
| persia | So, let's defer ari-tczew for now, giving him priority if he appears, as agreed last time. | 16:06 |
| micahg | (03:04:42 PM) ari-tczew: geser: I could be late for tomorrow's meeting, because we have flood in country and can be public communication problems. | 16:06 |

| persia | [TOPIC] Meeting Structure | 16:07 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Meeting Structure | 16:07 |
| cody-somerville | I thought the meeting was suppose to be an hour ago. | 16:07 |
| micahg | the fridge said 14:00, the wiki said 15:00 | 16:08 |
| AnAnt | oh yes, it should have been an hour ago, I mis-calculated | 16:08 |
| persia | So, we've talked about how the current structure doesn't always let us get to everyone, and some folks (especiall coredev apps) get shunted, perhaps for many weeks. | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | google calendar persistently gets it wrong, probably hence the fridge as well | 16:08 |
| * barry went by the wiki time | 16:08 | |
| nixternal | yeah, the fridge doesn't understand how to tell time | 16:08 |
| AnAnt | well, I'm lucky to arrive on time (by accident !) | 16:08 |
| persia | The fridge is broken by DST. Complain to your governments. Abolish the practice. | 16:08 |
| nixternal | the fridge is an epic fail after time changes | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | I think we've been spending too long on administrative matters at the start of each meeting ;-) | 16:08 |
| AnAnt | ari-tczew is here | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | ah, excellent | 16:09 |
| * ari-tczew is present | 16:09 | |
| * nixternal agrees with cjwatson | 16:09 | |
| cody-somerville | The fridge isn't broken by DST. | 16:09 |
| persia | Right, let7s go back to ari-tczew's app then. | 16:09 |
| persia | [TOPIC] MOTU Application for Artur Rona | 16:09 |
| MootBot | New Topic: MOTU Application for Artur Rona | 16:09 |
| persia | [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArturRona/MOTUApplication | 16:09 |
| MootBot | LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArturRona/MOTUApplication | 16:09 |
| persia | ari-tczew: Hey. How are you today? | 16:09 |
| ari-tczew | Hello, my name is Artur, I live in Tczew, Poland. I am studying logistics. | 16:09 |
| ari-tczew | persia: I'm fine and tired after work. and you? | 16:09 |
| ari-tczew | I contribute to Ubuntu (development) since March 2009. I work on merges and syncs, because I like to order, I work on reduce delta between Debian and Ubuntu packages. I work on requested SRUs and security uploads, because I think that these sectors are orphaned. | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | (I guess people are reading) | 16:12 |
| persia | ari-tczew: A number of the commentors on your application have indicated that they'd like to see you also do more work in other areas. Have you and recent examples of bugfixes you discovered, or patches submitted to Debian to reduce the need to merge in the future? | 16:13 |
| cjwatson | so, it's good to see lots of security and merge contributions; these are areas a lot of people get bored of, and it's good to see somebody picking up lots of work there | 16:13 |
| cjwatson | I'm pleased to see comments from the security team | 16:13 |
| ari-tczew | yea, last patch to Debian was junitperf | 16:14 |
| ari-tczew | now junitperf is Ubuntu = Debian | 16:14 |
| persia | Oh, excellent! | 16:14 |
| ari-tczew | and if I see that package is fakesynced, then I'll look for new upstream release and submit bug to Debian | 16:14 |
| ari-tczew | like I did with lash package. | 16:15 |
| nixternal | ari-tczew: I see a couple of comments regarding patience which seems you haven't had in previous situations, what are you doing to fix this issue and do you think it has gotten better? | 16:15 |
| persia | Yeah, lash is a special sort of mess :) | 16:16 |
| ari-tczew | nixternal: do you mean issue as my patience? | 16:16 |
| cjwatson | I'm concerned by your response to Iain Lane's comment; it comes across as very hostile to me, even if Iain's comment wasn't entirely accurate, and in particular I don't like to see responses like "But how about you? How many packages have you done sponsored?" in response to criticism; is this a language barrier thing (which I understand is a lot harder for those for whom English isn't a native language), or do you think ... | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | ... it's something you need to work on? I feel it's important for Ubuntu members to consider criticism they receive, although I know it can be difficult | 16:17 |
| nixternal | "Also, I still remember him being upset because he wasn't able to find available sponsors for Main. He should be more patient (even a MOTU needs to be patient sometimes )" <- that is a comment from your application | 16:17 |
| nixternal | cjwatson: +1 - however it seemed a bit defensive more so than hostile | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | maybe that's a better word | 16:17 |
| * ari-tczew is reading, translating and writing answer, please wait | 16:18 | |
| ari-tczew | nixternal that's right, my answer to Laney 's comment is defensive - only constructive 'discussion' | 16:20 |
| ari-tczew | heh, patience is a part of heavy character | 16:21 |
| ari-tczew | I'll try be more patient | 16:21 |
| cjwatson | may I respectfully suggest that "so I think that Iain Lane can't be a MOTU, because he doesn't have done a lot of security issues" (I know it was meant to be exaggeration to show a point) escalates the argument rather than trying to solve it? | 16:21 |
| cjwatson | I've probably done the same thing myself on occasion, but I do think it's worth mentioning and trying to avoid | 16:22 |
| ari-tczew | cjwatson: solve what? | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | Iain is making some criticisms of you, which he's entitled to do (there's no point in an application process with review from other people if all the review is obliged to be positive). He may or may not be correct about all of it, and there's certainly no problem about disputing cases where you feel he's incorrect; in other cases perhaps the criticisms are ones you should be thinking about and taking on board (as you ... | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | ... seem to be doing here in response to nixternal's question). But I think turning it around in a way that looks like you're attacking Iain is stepping over the line | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | for example :-), although I don't agree with you that our failure to deal with your application last meeting was a sign of disrespect, I do think it was bad form and we should try to do better | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | if you see what I mean - there's no need to make things personal | 16:26 |
| Caesar | Did I make it in time for the DMB? | 16:28 |
| persia | Caesar: yes | 16:28 |
| ari-tczew | Caesar: be patient :D | 16:28 |
| Caesar | Phew, overslept, sorry | 16:28 |
| cjwatson | patient> *grin* | 16:29 |
| nixternal | ari-tczew: on to technical matters...there seems to have been a few problems with your sync/merges in the past....what have you been doing to improve your packaging and error checking so you don't experience these same issues in the future? | 16:29 |
| AnAnt | hah | 16:29 |
| persia | ari-tczew: Just to make sure, you're preparing an answer for cjwatson, yes? | 16:30 |
| ari-tczew | cjwatson: as I said: you (as DMB team) had 13 days for manage some minutes on meeting for me. 2 hours wasn't enough... sorry, but I still think that this is disrespect for my and my time | 16:31 |
| * nixternal needs to be patient this morning...the grumpy old man syndrome is kicking in with phone calls | 16:31 | |
| persia | ari-tczew: For the implementation of QuickResponse, how would you suggest we encourage developers to focus more on sponsoring, rather than their work-of-interest that drew them to Ubuntu initially? | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | ari-tczew: I think there are definitely things we need to improve; you're entitled to your opinion of course | 16:32 |
| nixternal | if it was disrespect, it wasn't blatant, however i do not feel it was disrespectful. you have to remember, we are volunteers (well most of us), and we have lives outside of this. we try to get as much done in the time we have | 16:32 |
| nixternal | today's weather is gorgeous, i am 100% volunteer, and if someone called and said, "Hey, let's go do a bike ride." I am out of here :) | 16:33 |
| ari-tczew | nixternal: heh, if I did mistake in packaging, sponsor comment on bug or tell me on irc what I did wrong, then I'll read on wiki about it and I'll not do this same bug in future | 16:33 |
| * ari-tczew is preparing answer for persia | 16:34 | |
| ari-tczew | persia: so, generally provide a sponsors statistics - it would be easier now with syncpackage script (thanks to bdrung) | 16:35 |
| persia | You mean keep track of how much sponsoring is done by each person? We do that now, and publish the top folks on the Hall of Fame page. | 16:36 |
| persia | Or do you mean something richer? | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | mm, I really hope that we can just fix the silly remaining problems in LP that mean we can't do this via the LP API, but I don't think I really have much of a leg to stand on in objecting to syncpackage since this has been pending for so long | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | (this> syncs) | 16:36 |
| persia | cjwatson: It's really close. | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | asymptotically :-) | 16:37 |
| ari-tczew | persia: hmm, current hall-of-fame is counting sync sponsorship? | 16:37 |
| persia | ari-tczew: Should be, if the syncs are processed according to the documentation. | 16:38 |
| * persia is done with questions | 16:38 | |
| ari-tczew | I think about statistics - count from area "Sponsored by:" because with old sync sponsorship procedure, this area wasn't exist | 16:38 |
| ari-tczew | current script syncpackage gives this area | 16:39 |
| cjwatson | I have no more questions | 16:40 |
| stgraber | I'm good with what I saw in the backlog (sorry, was only half around) | 16:40 |
| persia | nixternal: geser: cody-somerville: soren: ? | 16:40 |
| geser | no questions (but I missed too much of the discussion and irclogs.u.c doesn't have it yet) | 16:41 |
| ari-tczew | in addition, would be nice a statistics who and how many packages has uploaded in $release | 16:41 |
| cody-somerville | no questions | 16:42 |
| persia | OK. | 16:42 |
| nixternal | none here | 16:42 |

| persia | ari-tczew: I'd recommend addressing the comments made in the vote. I'm happy to work with you offline to review status at any point. | 16:50 |
| persia | So, moving on through the agenda: | 16:51 |
| ari-tczew | heh | 16:51 |
| persia | [TOPIC] Administrative matters | 16:51 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Administrative matters | 16:51 |
| persia | [TOPIC] Meeting Structure | 16:51 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Meeting Structure | 16:51 |
| persia | So, we spend too much time on admin matters at the beginning of the meeting, and have a poor sorting order for applicants. | 16:51 |
| persia | I propose we do admin stuff last, and process applicants in a first-come-first-reviewed queue. | 16:51 |
| persia | Other proposals? Consensus? Shall we vote? | 16:52 |
| cjwatson | yes, I also propose that we prefer to do admin stuff by mail where it doesn't get in people's way | 16:52 |
| geser | +1 on FIFO on applications | 16:52 |
| nixternal | persia: we could do applicants like the RMB's do | 16:52 |
| nixternal | first-come, first-serve | 16:52 |
| persia | nixternal: That's essentially my proposal :) | 16:53 |
| nixternal | +1 on that then :) | 16:53 |
| nixternal | let's vote on that puppy | 16:53 |
| cody-somerville | I feel we should process core-dev, motu, universe contributors, and then PPU requests. | 16:53 |
| nixternal | why that order? | 16:53 |
| persia | Ah, disagreement. OK voting then. | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | core-dev tend to be the people who've put most effort in | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | I guess? | 16:54 |
| cody-somerville | Because approving a core-dev will provide the most benefit to Ubuntu and requires the highest level of evaluation and critique. I don't want to be fatigued from the meeting when evaluating a core-dev application. | 16:54 |
| cody-somerville | cjwatson, aye | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | I tend to agree with Cody; this is the other way round from our prior agenda | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | but I think it should be FIFO within that. We're probably somewhat dependent on the honour system when people edit the wiki | 16:55 |
| * cody-somerville nods. | 16:55 | |
| nixternal | i know there is a hierarchy in the background, however i don't like distinguishing it publically...i think everyone provides the most benefit, no matter what they are applying for | 16:55 |
| nixternal | i think first-come, first-serve is the most fair of options | 16:55 |
| cody-somerville | This isn't about being 100% fair. | 16:55 |
| geser | and I don't like making it unpredictable for PPU applicants when they get processed | 16:56 |
| nixternal | i don't think it should be about position in the community either, seems to show a bit of favortism in my eyes | 16:56 |
| persia | If we're doing an order, I'd prefer packagesets, core-dev, all uploaders, contributing developers | 16:56 |
| geser | and I don't agree in that sorting that PPU comes after UUC | 16:56 |
| cody-somerville | This isn't about favortism. This is about prioritizing our time. | 16:56 |
| cjwatson | err, yes, I agree with geser's most recent point (PPU should be before UUC) | 16:57 |
| persia | To me PPU isn't any different from foo-dev (including MOTU) | 16:57 |
| maco | geser: potential for resource starvation? | 16:57 |
| nixternal | if it is about prioritizing time, i think ppu and contribs should go first, since they are usually the easiest and fastest to process | 16:57 |
| nixternal | or we jsut do roshambo | 16:58 |
| persia | So because we spend too much time on admin matters, I'm going to run some votes, quick like. | 16:58 |
| cody-somerville | If someone is fit to be core-dev, we should prioritize giving them that access because they will tend to, based off of the criteria for core-dev, provide the greatest benefit to the project. We shouldn't hold them up because we're busy approving drive by developers. | 16:58 |
| nixternal | or rock-scissors-paper for those who aren't groovy like me :p | 16:58 |

| micahg | cjwatson: it's a xul rdepend in universe | 17:07 |
| nixternal | isn't there a team working on eclipse uploads already? | 17:07 |
| micahg | cjwatson: if it goes to main, I would say to remove it | 17:07 |
| persia | nixternal: The Java team does most of them, but there have been some special xul-related changes over time. | 17:08 |
| nixternal | gotcha | 17:10 |
| persia | (as the Java team works almost exclusively in Debian, and relies mostly on syncs) | 17:10 |
| persia | Is everyone still reviewing the list? Are there more questions? | 17:11 |
| nixternal | no more questions | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | I have no further questions on the list | 17:12 |
| persia | micahg: In addition to the request for this team, this change would make you an Ubuntu Developer: have you prepared any support for such an application? | 17:13 |
| micahg | persia: no, I haven't | 17:13 |
| micahg | but some of my sponsors are in here | 17:13 |

| persia | [TOPIC] Voting Procedures | 17:22 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Voting Procedures | 17:22 |
| highvoltage | persia: tumbleweed is (probably still) afk for a little while, I know he'd like to be considered today (time permitting) | 17:22 |
| persia | It was raised that it can be very stressful being voted on directly live in an IRC session, and that the nature of a time-pressured meeting may make the DMB unable to give a considered recommendation to a deferred applicant. | 17:23 |
| * tumbleweed is (mostly) back | 17:23 | |
| persia | One proposal to address this would be to not have the voting inline at the meeting, but rather ask the questions, and vote via the mailing list, preparing a decision and recommendation for each candidate by the following meeting. | 17:23 |
| geser | do we get enough votes for the next meeting based on the expierence with email votes in MC and the few deferred votes in DMB? | 17:25 |
| persia | Based on that experience, I'd say no, although we could certainly try to be better about that. | 17:26 |
| cjwatson | dual-running between email and IRC is difficult | 17:26 |
| cjwatson | when it's primarily one or the other it works better I think | 17:26 |
| persia | Primary email worked well as long as folks were actually voting. At some point, the members of the MC stopped voting in a timely manner. I'm unsure whether that behaviour would carry to the members of the DMB. | 17:27 |
| persia | One advantage of primary email is that it7s asynchronous nature tends to reduce the perception of "not getting to folks". | 17:27 |
| nixternal | ok, back | 17:27 |
| nixternal | did the world end? it is so quiet for a meeting right now | 17:30 |
| persia | OK. I'm not seeing significant discussion, and I don't think there's a clear answer. | 17:30 |
| cjwatson | perhaps we can vote on it by e-mail ;-) | 17:30 |
| persia | Let's discuss via email. | 17:30 |
| persia | And now to the actual applications :) | 17:31 |
| nixternal | lol | 17:31 |
| * geser hopes to see a real discussion and not only one or two emails | 17:31 | |
| persia | First up: barry: my apologies for not noticing earlier, but I'd like to ask you to wait for the next meeting, due to not having had a very long perio of peer review for your application (added to wiki 22nd may, no devel-permissions post) | 17:32 |
| persia | Would that be acceptable to you? | 17:32 |
| barry | persia: not a problem at all! | 17:32 |
| persia | Thanks, and sorry for not noticing earlier. | 17:33 |
| barry | no worries. i knew i was cutting it short, but was feeling optimistic :) | 17:33 |

| AnAnt | the link by MootBot won't work | 17:38 |
| cjwatson | AnAnt: there was a controversial sl-modem bug I saw going past in e-mail; I mostly ignored it at the time :-), but could you give us your take on that? | 17:38 |
| AnAnt | this might work: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/%D8%A3%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%85%D9%88%D8%AF%D9%8A/MOTUApplication | 17:38 |
| AnAnt | cjwatson: yes, there is a problem in upstream itself | 17:39 |
| cjwatson | yay for WTF-8 | 17:39 |
| AnAnt | there is no upstream development | 17:39 |
| AnAnt | they're doing their best & they just accept patches | 17:39 |
| AnAnt | they = guys @ linmodems.org | 17:40 |
| barry | geser: resent. i'm heading to lunch now tho. see you next week :) | 17:40 |
| AnAnt | also there might have mistakes from my side regarding the specific bug you mentioned | 17:40 |
| persia | barry: Two weeks :) | 17:41 |
| AnAnt | for example I would prepare the package on intrepid (because that is the system I am using), to fix a bug in karmic | 17:41 |
| cjwatson | right, that's the part I'm most interested in your comments on, I realise that sometimes we're stuck with a mostly-inactive upstream - it's a fact of life sometimes | 17:41 |
| AnAnt | yet dkms in karmic had a change that made the package break (& I didn't know until the bug reporter told me about that) | 17:41 |
| AnAnt | another thing (if I recall correctly) is that the package used to use module-assistant, hence a package that is not really maintained by developers used to exist on systems that installed old packages of sl-modem | 17:43 |
| AnAnt | or maybe that wasn't the issue | 17:43 |
| AnAnt | s/the/an | 17:44 |
| AnAnt | but I cannot put all the blame on myself | 17:44 |
| AnAnt | a package on PPA is not really guaranteed to work, and I am asking the reporter to try it | 17:44 |
| AnAnt | sorry if I forgot some details (that has been months ago) | 17:45 |
| barry | persia: two weeks: ack | 17:45 |
| AnAnt | but I agree with Rolf that I shouldn't have closed the bug | 17:45 |
| AnAnt | but rather set its status as incomplete | 17:45 |
| AnAnt | nothing else to say I suppose | 17:46 |
| cjwatson | fair enough, I'm happy with that answer | 17:46 |
| cjwatson | thanks | 17:46 |

| Caesar | I may have misunderstood the totem pole. If I can upgrade to MOTU without being a huge pain in the arse... | 17:54 |
| Caesar | Otherwise I'll run with what I've got here now, and go for MOTU later | 17:55 |
| persia | I'm not convinced we have time for MOTU at all. | 17:55 |
| Caesar | Okay | 17:55 |
| Caesar | Stick with what we've got | 17:55 |
| cjwatson | you can but the pro-forma for MOTU applications usually involves rather more extensive documentation, so I think it would be best to go with what we've got | 17:55 |
| Caesar | Yeah no worries | 17:55 |
| cjwatson | I have no questions here anyway | 17:55 |
| Caesar | I can upgrade to MOTU at another time | 17:55 |
| persia | Caesar: In your "What I like least about Ubuntu" statement, you suggest that other decisions ought be made for LTSs. Do you have any specific suggestsions? | 17:56 |
| geser | Caesar: I hope I sorted your application correctly, as the title was a little bit confusing | 17:56 |
| persia | Or rather, suggestions for a process that helps ensure that goal? | 17:56 |
| nixternal | yeah, no questions here really... I guess I have always assumed you were already a MOTU or more | 17:56 |
| Caesar | geser: I was a little confused about what a Contributing Developer was | 17:56 |
| Caesar | I thought that was a rebadged MOTU at the time | 17:57 |
| Caesar | persia: I think just slightly more conservatism at the time that blueprints are accepted for the LTS release? | 17:57 |

| ogasawara | It's been almost a week since I've uploaded and I've accumulated quite a bit of patches since then. We've pulled in the -omap flavour, tweaked multiple config options per our UDS config review, and dropped a number of patches based on our UDS delta review. We're also now carrying the two security kernel hardening patches for hardlink/symlink protections. That being said, I'll be uploading 2.6.34-4.11 today (note the A | 18:17 |
| ogasawara | BI bump). I'll likely do one last upload on Friday, so get your patches to the list and ack'd before then if you want something to land in the Alpha1 kernel. Also, please test once 2.6.34-4.11 is uploaded if you are able to. | 18:17 |

| mathiaz | ttx: should WI be already defined? | 19:05 |
| ScottK | ivoks: I'll take care of the mail stack spec. | 19:05 |
| mathiaz | ttx: can the user stories be postponed? | 19:05 |
| ivoks | ScottK: ok | 19:05 |
| mathiaz | ttx: or should the spec be completly ready? | 19:06 |
| * ScottK even started on it already. | 19:06 | |
| ttx | mathiaz: design is the most important. Implementation (or WI) should at least give an idea of how much work is involved | 19:06 |
| ttx | mathiaz: if you need to pick something to leave out, user stories are a good candidate | 19:06 |
| mathiaz | ttx: ok - so in order of importance: 1. Design 2. Work Items (=implementation) 3. Other sections | 19:07 |
| ttx | mathiaz: I have a few specs where I'm missing info, so having an open plan in the spec is ok too. Something where the first steps of Implementation is "find the right design" :) | 19:07 |
| ttx | mathiaz: yes | 19:08 |
| SpamapS | such as "cloud-loadbalancer - create proof of concept LB config backend (puppet or REST): TODO | 19:09 |
| ttx | Ideally community specs would be filed by that deadline as well. Especially if they rely on some outside help | 19:09 |
| ttx | If they are not ready by tomorrow EOB we'll have trouble incorporating them in the general server roadmap | 19:09 |
| jiboumans | appologies for the late join, a call ran somewhat over. Thanks ttx for getting things started. | 19:09 |
| ttx | jiboumans: floor is yours, sir | 19:10 |
| jiboumans | ttx: that went fast :) | 19:10 |
| jiboumans | so, what ttx said ^ ;) | 19:10 |
| mathiaz | ttx: well - you've started the meeting | 19:10 |
| mathiaz | ttx: so only you can drive the bot | 19:10 |
| ttx | mathiaz: I can drive the bot. | 19:10 |
| mathiaz | ttx: (that may be a detail in the meeting though) | 19:10 |
| jiboumans | ttx: anything more on blueprint/spec prep? | 19:11 |
| ttx | I don't think so... Questions ? | 19:11 |
| ttx | Of course you can start working on urgent items on your specs. | 19:11 |
| jiboumans | [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) | 19:11 |
| ttx | Also last thing... | 19:11 |
| ttx | Remember that merging is in full swing, and needs your help :) | 19:12 |
| zul | done and done | 19:12 |
| ttx | [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) | 19:12 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) | 19:12 |
| hggdh | none ATM. I just marked my specs for review | 19:12 |
| jiboumans | hggdh: excellent. any input needed from us for those that you'd like to bring up? | 19:12 |
| zul | i would like to bring up something actually | 19:12 |
| hggdh | only the additional test rig | 19:12 |
| hggdh | zul, please go ahead | 19:13 |
| jiboumans | hggdh: let's sync up on that outside this meeting to get the fine points clear | 19:13 |
| zul | it seems my access to nominate bugs for lucid has disapeared which slows me down is there a way to get that fixed? | 19:13 |
| ttx | Daviey/kirkland: are you around ? | 19:14 |
| jiboumans | i'll take that as a 'no' | 19:15 |
| jiboumans | zul: can you raise it with kirkland/daviey via mail please? | 19:15 |
| SpamapS | not sure if this is pertinent exactly, but I added myself as a bug triager on Fridays | 19:15 |
| zul | jiboumans: sure | 19:15 |
| ttx | jiboumans: my question was unrelated to zul's problem | 19:15 |
| SpamapS | per zul's request I might add | 19:15 |
| ttx | I don't think they can help | 19:15 |
| jiboumans | ttx: my bad | 19:15 |
| mathiaz | zul: hm - has you membership in some team expired latelyÉ | 19:16 |
| mathiaz | zul: ? | 19:16 |
| zul | mathiaz: i dont think so | 19:16 |
| jiboumans | zul: in that case we'll need to contact a losa right? | 19:16 |
| mathiaz | zul: I talk to bdmurray - he may be able to figure it out | 19:17 |
| ttx | zul: see with bdmurray first | 19:17 |
| zul | jiboumans: probably lemme poke around a bit more | 19:17 |
| jiboumans | alright, anything else on QA? | 19:17 |
| hggdh | no news there for now | 19:17 |
| zul | not from me | 19:17 |
| ttx | hggdh: should the qa workflow spec be considered a server or a QA spec ? | 19:17 |
| ttx | i.e. who should be the approver ? | 19:18 |
| hggdh | ttx: this is a good Q, I cannot answer. I would venture a mix | 19:18 |
| ttx | jiboumans: where do you want it ? | 19:18 |
| jiboumans | ttx: since we initiated it, leave me as the approver for now | 19:18 |
| ttx | ok, same for UEC testing, I suspect. | 19:19 |
| * hggdh thinks it saner | 19:19 | |
| jiboumans | definitely for UEC testing | 19:19 |
| ttx | [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen) | 19:19 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen) | 19:19 |
| jiboumans | jjohansen: o/ | 19:19 |
| jjohansen | hey :) | 19:19 |
| jiboumans | i was wondering about the kernel upgrades in uec/ec2 | 19:19 |
| jjohansen | So I have started playing with the maverick pv-ops ec2 kernel | 19:19 |
| jiboumans | you're way ahead of me i see | 19:20 |
| jjohansen | I have built several but none have successfully booted :( | 19:20 |
| jjohansen | At the moment I am trimming configs and rechecking packaging/builds | 19:20 |
| zul | jjohansen: need help? | 19:20 |
| jjohansen | nah, not yet any way | 19:20 |
| jjohansen | its early can't really expect it to go right the first few times | 19:21 |
| zul | jjohansen: its probably nothing to do with the configs, its probably more to do with the vmlinuz you'll have to strip it | 19:21 |
| jjohansen | so hopefully we will have a kernel in a few days | 19:21 |
| SpamapS | I have an item in the cluster filesystem spec about Ceph being available as a module in the maverick kernel (which it is not in the latest). Do I need to add a work item in my spec for somebody on the kernel team? | 19:21 |
| jjohansen | zul: hrmm it should be stripped but I'll check | 19:22 |
| ivoks | one thing | 19:22 |
| zul | jjohansen: xen versions have different boot loaders | 19:22 |
| jjohansen | We already have that on our misc configs | 19:22 |
| ivoks | that's a cloud filesystem | 19:22 |
| jjohansen | ceph should be enabled with the next upload | 19:23 |
| SpamapS | jjohansen: ty. :) | 19:23 |
| jiboumans | SpamapS: good to add a workitem anyway so we can keep track of it | 19:23 |
| ttx | ok, any other questions for kernel ? | 19:23 |
| ttx | [TOPIC] Weekly status for Server documentation (sommer) | 19:24 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Weekly status for Server documentation (sommer) | 19:24 |
| ttx | That's a new point :) | 19:24 |
| jiboumans | hi sommer | 19:25 |
| ttx | sommer: As discussed, it's good for you to have a forum for us to sync our respective needs, so here you go :) | 19:25 |
| sommer | there's been some good discussion on the ubuntu-doc list about new formats | 19:25 |
| ScottK | Is the 10.04 server guide available as a PDF? It came up on #ubuntu-server recently and I didn't know where to point someone. | 19:25 |
| sommer | ScottK: there was an issue with the PDF for lucid, but I committed a change yesterday to take care of it | 19:25 |
| sommer | it just now needs to be rebuilt and uploaded to h.u.c | 19:26 |
| ttx | sommer: do you have a spec covering new sections that you want written for Maverick ? | 19:26 |
| ScottK | sommer: Great. Thanks. | 19:26 |
| sommer | ttx: yep, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs/+spec/server-maverick-serverguide-updates | 19:26 |
| ttx | hm, I don't think that one can be picked up by our work items system, since it's not the same project | 19:27 |
| ttx | sommer: so you'll have to use that lot in the meeting to shout when you need outside help. | 19:27 |
| sommer | oh, should I change it? | 19:27 |
| jiboumans | ttx: would be great to have all server related blueprints in the WI tracker though | 19:27 |
| jiboumans | wonder how we can do that | 19:27 |
| ttx | jiboumans: it needs to be an Ubuntu spec | 19:27 |
| ttx | jiboumans: then if targeted against Maverick, work items assigned to team members would show up in our tracker | 19:28 |
| mathiaz | can't the spec be just reattached to the ubuntu project? | 19:28 |
| sommer | if not I can recreate it | 19:28 |
| ttx | I doubt that's possible | 19:28 |
| mathiaz | or recreate it | 19:28 |
| ttx | sommer: that would be great. Then you can have work items like "write draft of section x" and assign that to someone, and keep "Review draft of X" on your plate | 19:29 |
| jiboumans | that'd work very well indeed | 19:29 |
| ttx | [ACTION] sommer to try to move server doc spec to Ubuntu specs | 19:30 |
| MootBot | ACTION received: sommer to try to move server doc spec to Ubuntu specs | 19:30 |
| jiboumans | next is you ttx on papercuts | 19:30 |
| ttx | [TOPIC] Maverick Papercuts: Start of the alpha-2 round (ttx) | 19:30 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Maverick Papercuts: Start of the alpha-2 round (ttx) | 19:30 |
| sommer | what's the project name? | 19:30 |
| ttx | sommer: "Ubuntu" ? | 19:30 |
| sommer | doh, sooo simple :) | 19:30 |
| ttx | So in order to have a full alpha-2 round for papercuts, I anticipated the review and prepared the round in advance. I'll call for nominations today, and open nominations (until next week's meeting where we'll decide on the bugs for the round) | 19:30 |
| ttx | delaying one more week would jeopardize the length of that subcycle | 19:31 |
| jiboumans | ttx: that warrants a seperate mail to u-devel/-server right? | 19:31 |
| ttx | jiboumans: yes. I start with a blog post, then tomorrow an email... Then I would appreciate some echo on blogs of yours | 19:32 |
| ttx | I already know Yokozar will echo it, since he was in that UDS room | 19:32 |
| ttx | any other blogger with a large audience is welcome (kirkland ?) | 19:32 |
| ttx | We already have a few candidates from previous leftovers | 19:32 |
| ttx | Note that this time, you can nominate minor features as well ! | 19:33 |
| zul | minor features like what? | 19:33 |
| ivoks | like utf8 in mysql by default? | 19:33 |
| ttx | The method is the same, mark as affecting the "server-papercuts" project | 19:33 |
| ttx | like things that would impact behavior, and that we refused because of FeatureFreeze during the lucid cycle | 19:33 |
| ttx | ivoks: a papercut needs to be non-conflicting | 19:34 |
| ttx | and simple to implement :) | 19:34 |
| SpamapS | otherwise we'd have to call it a paper stab | 19:35 |
| ivoks | it's simple alright | 19:35 |
| ttx | We'll review the nominations next week to come up with a list of candidates | 19:35 |
| ttx | and start the subcycle on Jun 2nd | 19:35 |
| ttx | to end it end of week before the Alpha2 release | 19:35 |
| * sommer heh stab | 19:35 | |
| ttx | questions ? | 19:35 |
| ttx | we'll need everyone's help in fixing those papercuts btw | 19:36 |
| ttx | choosing them is the easiest part of the job :) | 19:37 |
| ttx | [TOPIC] Weekly SRU review: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/KnowledgeBase#SRU%20weekly%20review (mathiaz) | 19:37 |

| * mathiaz opens up the links | 19:37 | |
| mathiaz | two bugs nominated for lucid: | 19:37 |
| mathiaz | bug 567179 | 19:37 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 567179 in mysql-dfsg-5.1 (Ubuntu) "Update mysql-server-5.1 hangs up" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/567179 | 19:37 |

| zul | ubottu: im testing bug 567179 | 19:38 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:38 |
| zul | stupid bot | 19:38 |
| zul | i have it fixed for maverick (567179) just need to get people in lucid to test it | 19:38 |
| mathiaz | I think both bugs are not ready for SRU as of now | 19:39 |
| ttx | mathiaz: ack | 19:39 |
| mathiaz | as they still need to more information to get to the triage state | 19:39 |
| mathiaz | I'm going to decline them | 19:39 |
| mathiaz | any bugs worth fixing from http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server-team/fixedbugs.ubuntu-server.latest.html ? | 19:39 |
| smoser | there is no fix for 583542 available | 19:39 |
| zul | 577165 | 19:40 |
| mathiaz | smoser: ok | 19:40 |
| mathiaz | bug 577165 | 19:40 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 577165 in vsftpd (Ubuntu) "Typo in etc/init/vsftpd.conf" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/577165 | 19:40 |
| jiboumans | bug 573206 sounds important enough | 19:40 |

| zul | jiboumans: its already fixed in lucid | 19:41 |
| ttx | jiboumans: it's already done apparently. Zul's magic | 19:41 |
| jiboumans | zul++ also way ahead of me | 19:41 |
| * jiboumans notes that being in UTC+8 means he's behind the times | 19:41 | |
| RoAkSoAx | lol :P | 19:42 |
| mathiaz | I've written up the Spec for the updated sru-process in maverick: | 19:42 |
| mathiaz | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-maverick-sru-process | 19:42 |
| mathiaz | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerMaverickSruProcess | 19:42 |
| ttx | ooo, a graph ! | 19:42 |
| mathiaz | so if you wanna comment on what's coming up please head there | 19:42 |
| mathiaz | and there are shiny diagrams as wel :) | 19:43 |
| zul | wohoo diagrams! | 19:43 |
| ttx | mathiaz: now I know why you don't have time to write user stories. Too busy doing shiny diagrams | 19:43 |
| mathiaz | ttx: :) | 19:43 |
| mathiaz | ttx: it's an experiment: | 19:44 |
| mathiaz | a picture is worth a thousand words! | 19:44 |
| jiboumans | agreed there | 19:44 |
| RoAkSoAx | +1 | 19:44 |
| ttx | now you need to automate paperboard -> dia transition | 19:44 |
| mathiaz | that's all from me on the SRU front | 19:44 |
| mathiaz | ttx: I've got some ideas there :) | 19:44 |
| mathiaz | anything else? | 19:45 |
| mathiaz | on the SRU front? | 19:45 |
| jiboumans | smoser, you had something on ami/api tools? | 19:45 |
| smoser | yes. | 19:45 |
| smoser | seeking feedback. | 19:45 |
| smoser | ec2-ami-tools and ec2-api-tools are multiverse packages | 19:45 |
| smoser | they are updated by amazon to expose new features (or regions) on occasion | 19:45 |
| smoser | in the past we have provided backports of these via a ppa | 19:46 |
| mathiaz | smoser: one option is to push them to -backports | 19:46 |
| smoser | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-on-ec2/+archive/ec2-tools | 19:46 |
| mathiaz | smoser: they may actually be SRUable as well | 19:46 |
| smoser | right. so 3 options: | 19:46 |
| smoser | a. SRU | 19:46 |
| smoser | b. | 19:46 |
| smoser | backports | 19:46 |
| smoser | c. ppa backports | 19:46 |
| smoser | we've been doing c. | 19:46 |
| ttx | (a) needs a TB derogation | 19:46 |
| mathiaz | smoser: under the exception that they're useless (?) if the network service changes | 19:47 |
| smoser | well they're never useless. | 19:47 |
| mathiaz | smoser: landscape-client is an example of package that an SRU exception | 19:47 |
| smoser | the old tools work, they just do not expose new functionality | 19:47 |
| mathiaz | smoser: right | 19:47 |
| mathiaz | smoser: so -backports is the best option | 19:47 |
| smoser | is there a reason to prefer -backports over ppa ? | 19:48 |
| mathiaz | smoser: -backports are easily discoveralbe | 19:48 |
| mathiaz | smoser: whereas PPA are less discoverable | 19:48 |
| smoser | i question it because there is a fair amount of use of the ppa, and education to use backports instead would be needed. | 19:48 |
| mathiaz | smoser: there is an option in the sources list manager to enable backports | 19:48 |
| mathiaz | smoser: and I think there -backports options in sources.list are also set but commented | 19:49 |
| jiboumans | we do have the option to enable the ppa on EC2 images ourselves | 19:49 |
| mathiaz | smoser: right - if it's common knowledge to enable the PPA then I'd stick with the existing option | 19:49 |
| SpamapS | In my brief time running Ubuntu server I've never used thes ources list manager.. but I've definitely setup a few PPA's to pull from | 19:49 |
| smoser | jiboumans, well.. tools are in multiverse, they're not in our images by design. | 19:49 |
| mathiaz | smoser: if the use of the PPA is advertised and documented then I'd stick with the PPA | 19:50 |
| smoser | mathiaz, if backports is the right thing, then i think we should go that route. | 19:50 |
| SpamapS | can the server guide be updated with that? | 19:50 |
| mathiaz | smoser: it seems that the use of the PPA is already common knowledge | 19:50 |
| ScottK | smoser: I've got no problem pushing the updated ec2 tools in backports. | 19:51 |
| ttx | since this derived from the SRU process discussion, let's move to | 19:51 |
| ttx | [TOPIC] Open discussion | 19:51 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Open discussion | 19:51 |
| mathiaz | smoser: so I wouldn't change that | 19:51 |
| mathiaz | smoser: and as mentioned by ScottK we could publish the package to both -backports and a PPA | 19:51 |
| ScottK | mathiaz: Generally I think it's a problem to push people to use third party repositories when it's not really required. | 19:51 |
| mathiaz | smoser: it may add some overhad though | 19:51 |
| smoser | mathiaz, somewhat common knowledge. googling probably finds it, but it finds backports also. | 19:51 |
| smoser | i am leaning towards re-education | 19:52 |
| smoser | backports is a common place for backports | 19:52 |
| mathiaz | ScottK: right - IMO the main issue here is how discoverable the repository to use is (be it a PPA or a -backports) | 19:52 |
| SpamapS | smoser: that is almost t-shirt worthy | 19:52 |
| * ttx leans towards reeducation too | 19:52 | |
| ScottK | smoser: You know the backports procedure? | 19:52 |
| Daviey | o/ | 19:52 |
| smoser | i can read | 19:53 |
| smoser | :) | 19:53 |
| ttx | SpamapS: we have a "quotes" page. | 19:53 |
| ScottK | OK. Ping me if you have questions. | 19:53 |
| smoser | yeah. thanks ScottK | 19:53 |
| jiboumans | so... open discussion? :) | 19:53 |
| ScottK | I'd like to talk about package stack names. | 19:53 |
| SpamapS | I like the idea of having them in both | 19:53 |
| mathiaz | smoser: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports | 19:53 |
| ScottK | So far we have mail and cluster stack. | 19:53 |
| SpamapS | The PPA will get them right away.. backports upon completion of the process. Seems useful. | 19:53 |
| jiboumans | ScottK: go right ahead | 19:53 |
| zul | i like to say that im melting | 19:54 |
| ScottK | In mail stack, we're planning on using mail-stack-foo package names. | 19:54 |
| ScottK | I think having a general rule of [stackname]-stack-[function] is a good way to go. | 19:54 |
| jiboumans | ScottK: i've been following the thread on naming and i'd agree there | 19:55 |
| ScottK | I think cluster stack is similar, but not sure. | 19:55 |
| sommer | that makes sense to me | 19:55 |
| RoAkSoAx | ScottK: yes it is similar, though the difference is that in our scenarios we are in need of multiple machine | 19:55 |
| ScottK | Since I know you are pushing the idea of more community supported stacks, it seems like a good idea to have a standard naming scheme and have that documented. | 19:55 |
| jiboumans | ScottK: it caters to the road of least surprise (as opposed to 'dovefix' which makes sense mostly to those in the know) | 19:55 |
| SpamapS | are there other stacks in the pipeline? | 19:56 |
| ScottK | SpamapS: Not that I know of, but I know Canonical wants to encourage the concept. | 19:56 |
| RoAkSoAx | For Cluster Stack, names I've been thinking of is: cluster-stack-failover and cluster-stack-loadbalancing | 19:56 |
| ttx | ScottK: you apparently do not meet any resistance :) | 19:57 |
| SpamapS | how do stacks differ from tasks? | 19:57 |
| ttx | let's wrap up. | 19:57 |
| ScottK | ttx: Could you have someone document this policy? | 19:57 |
| * SpamapS will takethe answer offline. :) | 19:57 | |
| ttx | ScottK: where would you see this policy ? As a server team policy ? | 19:57 |
| mcas | the stack packages are virtual packages? | 19:57 |
| ttx | ScottK: or something more TB-level ? | 19:58 |
| mathiaz | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/KnowledgeBase | 19:58 |
| mathiaz | ^^ seems like a good place to document that for the time being | 19:58 |
