nigelbmicahg: hehe, for the removed from distro bugs, I'm thinking of a page where we can show package name, where it was removed from and the list of bugs in that package02:58
nigelb*removed from distro discusssion02:59
micahgnigelb: I think a link to bugs is better than a list02:59
nigelbthat works too02:59
nigelbthe idea is to have a single place to refer to03:00
nigelbI'll take a poke on it over the weekend, perhaps I should have an early alpha by monday03:00
micahgnigelb: good idea, one place to find work to do :)03:02

stenten...does adding a duplicate to a bug really not add an additional "This bug affects me too"?04:30

ddecatori don't believe it does04:31

hggdhok. let me grab a coffee. 1 Min14:00
kermiacok, sounds like a good plan :)14:00
ddecatoryah, i'm gonna have to make some soon..14:01
BUGabundo_remotehey ddecator, kermiac, hggdh14:02
ddecatormorning BUGabundo_remote14:02
BUGabundo_remoteafter lunch, actually14:02
ddecatormorning here :)14:02
hggdhmorning, BUGabundo_remote14:03
hggdhOK14:03
kermiachey BUGabundo_remote :)14:03
hggdhkermiac, ddecator: here's the tale14:03
hggdhsome time ago, I think during the Feisty cycle, I started writing an apport hook for evolution14:03
hggdhsimple thing, no major deal. Except I wanted to clean up the GDB traces14:04
hggdhand *there* I had some issues14:04
hggdhopened a bug on them, etc, etc, piti stated he would look at it in the future, etc, etc14:05
hggdhbut time passeth14:05
hggdhand the bloody apport hook not only is not complete, but we still have stacktraces with private dta14:06
hggdhso14:06
hggdhgiven you are full of {energy, ideas, ideals, whatever}, and given that I am old and tired...14:06
hggdhwhat about doing apport utilities for cleaning stacktraces?14:07
hggdhkermiac, ddecator, this is the point where you both say YES!14:07
* hggdh awaits14:07
ddecatoryes!14:07
hggdhhum. lower-case yes ;-)14:08
kermiachaha... yes too14:08
ddecatorhggdh: mr. picky :p14:08
hggdhhum. huuummm. Not even exclamation point at the end14:08
hggdhTHANK YOU BOTH14:08
kermiacI'm just thinking of how to do it :)14:08
hggdhI approached it in the wrong way when I started -- I made the *Evo* hook do the cleanup14:09
ddecatorso you want a general hook then?14:09
hggdhyes, it should be an integral part of the apport utilities -- when apport starts, it should load the correct hook, so far so good14:10
hggdhbut when it *generates* a GDB BT, if should call a sanitiser utility, *as long as* the hook initialised it14:11
ddecatorok..14:11
hggdhMy Evo hook is using REs to do the cleanup14:11
hggdhand I will put it in a bzr under ~hggdh2/+junk/evo-hook14:12
ddecatordanke14:12
kermiacok14:12
hggdhbitte14:12
hggdhnotice that for such a cleaner to work, the hook *must* give it variable names to look for, and etc, etc14:13
hggdhfor evo I poured thru some 300 BTs looking for them14:13
ddecatorthe cleaning part shouldn't be too hard if private data tends to show up in certain ways (password:_____, etc), getting it to start at the right time will be tricky, at least for me haha, bug we can look into it :)14:13
ddecators/bug/but14:13
hggdhddecator: this is the bauty of regular expressions14:14
hggdh(RE)14:14
hggdhdammit14:14
hggdhs/bauty/beauty/14:14
ddecatorah, that's what RE stood for..14:14
hggdhyes, very sorry14:14
ddecatorhaha, no prob14:14
ddecatorhggdh: so is there a time frame for this, or "before maverick"?14:14
hggdhhum. Not really, but the sooner the better14:15
kermiachggdh: does the hook you started have a list of some of these RE's? Just to avoid us doubling up where you have already started14:15
hggdh(it has been in the back-oven since feisty, can wait a bit longer ;-)14:15
kermiacthen we can look for others14:16
ddecatorright. i won't have too much time to work on stuff for the next two weeks because of finals, but i'll definitely try to work on it and will have more time after school is done14:16
zusgood a of m everyone14:16
hggdhkermiac: yes, my evo hook has the REs, and it is cleaning up IP addresses, FQDN, and variables14:16
ddecatormorning zus14:16
kermiacddecator: that's good timing for me too as I need to finish this indicator-applet hook first14:16
ddecatorkermiac: good deal :)14:16
zusddecator,  :)14:16
hggdhmorn zus14:16
kermiachey zus - sorry, I couldn't help it ;)14:17
ddecatorthat will give us a chance to look into it a bit and then start working on it in a couple of weeks14:17
kermiacyup, sounds like a good plan dray :)14:17
hggdhmarvelous. Excellent. Fantastic14:17
* hggdh runs out of praise, not used to14:17
kermiachaha.. don't thank us yet hggdh ;)14:17
hggdhoh. Yes, sorry. Rather wait and see ;-)14:18
zuskermiac,  yeah its a play on my name...funny thing is i got an award with hey zeus written as my name when i was in grade school14:18
zusso i am excited to be officially on the bug squad. - just have a few things to sort out here on my machine and i should be ready to go...14:19
ddecatorzus: good to hear :)14:19
kermiacok hggdh, can you pls ping us when you've uploaded the evo hook so we can look over what you've already done?14:20
kermiacobviously there's no rush as we probably wont be able to start it for a cpl of weeks14:20
ddecatoryes please14:20
ddecatori think i'll review this -control app this morning..14:22
hggdhddecator, kermiac: yes, I will do. I will also email both of you with an attachment -- a CSV file with all Evo bugs -- so that you can play and test14:23
ddecatorhggdh: perfect, thanks :)14:23
kermiacthanks hggdh :)14:23
kermiachggdh: just to clariify - do you want this hook to only clear private data from evolution-related BT's?14:27
ddecatori'm guessing all stacktraces?14:28
hggdhkermiac: no, I would rather have a generic apport utility (function|class)14:29
hggdhddecator: yes indeed14:29
kermiacok, evolution was just an example. thanks :)14:29
ddecatorif we can pull this off, it will make triaging crashes a lot easier :)14:29
hggdhkermiac: it all started with Evo14:29
hggdhanother point: apport bugs with sanitised stacktraces could be born public (instead of private)14:30
arandCould someone please change back Bug #553745  to "triaged" (someone random set it to comitted, erroneously if I've understood things correctly).14:31
ubot2Launchpad bug 553745 in plymouth (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 2 other projects) "plymouthd crashed with SIGSEGV in ply_event_loop_process_pending_events() (affects: 340) (dups: 59) (heat: 1862)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/55374514:31
kermiacok, so basically it *should* mostly be about finding out what RE's we need to sanitise14:32
ddecatorhggdh: except when it's a crash with a coredump i'm assuming14:32
ddecatorarand: it was a dev that set it to fix committed and the branch is linked14:35
hggdhddecator: an apport bug still with a coredump mean either apport-retracer has not gotten to it, or that14:46
hggdhapport-retracing failed14:46
arandddecator: No, the branch and earlier fix commited was done by a dev, but it was set back to triaged by a dev since that fix didn't work this was also when the lp branch was added, back in mid-april, the current suggested plymouth patch is nowhere comitted (apart from in my PPA), and it should probably neither, taking the last commets by Gilles regarding it.14:46
ddecatorhggdh: right, i just mean that it shouldn't be public right away14:46
ddecatorarand: ah, you're right. i'll set it back14:48
arandddecator: cheers14:53

slicerHi. Is there a way to mark bugs so that they'll automatically transition from "Fix Committed" to "Fix Released" once version x.y.z of a package is uploaded?15:26
ddecatorif the bug is mentioned in the changelog, yes15:27
arandslicer: stick "LP: #nnnnnn" somewhere in the changelog.15:28
slicerYes.. This is mumble, which is imported from Debian, and they're not really all that keen on mentioning LP bug # in the Debian changelog for some reason.15:28
slicerI also plan to fix this in the upstream so I don't really know if it belongs in the changelog. I certainly wouldn't put the change in there if it didn't match a bug/feature request posted on launchpad :)15:29
ddecatoris there a separate changelog for the branch that imports it?15:29
slicerddecator: Not that I know of, it's a straight import.15:29
