[01:47] <ScottK> cjwatson: We had an unexpected upload of kdegames which will make kubuntu-netbook slightly out of date.  Also, I'd say, not worth respining for.
[07:24] <ara> good morning all!
[07:27] <ttx> ara: good morning !
[07:28] <ara> morning ttx
[10:08] <cjwatson> morning
[10:10] <cjwatson> anyone know of any showstoppers?  otherwise I'll start working my way through publication/announcement processes and such
[10:23] <ttx> cjwatson: not blocker from me
[10:23] <ttx> cjwatson: my only gripe is the lousy test coverage %
[10:23] <ttx> (server side)
[10:24] <cjwatson> mm, I normally figure we're lucky to get any on a1, this is much better than I'm used to :)
[10:24] <ttx> ok, works for me :)
[10:25] <ttx> I think we caught what made sense anyway (UEC / basic boot behavior / virtual kernel size issue)
[10:25] <cjwatson> gah, sabdfl picks these release names just to make it difficult to find a first milestone quote, doesn't he
[10:25] <cjwatson> there is ... a bit of a dearth of meerkat-related fiction
[10:26] <ttx> cjwatson: that's an unexplored field of literature, I suspect.
[10:37] <elmo> cjwatson: has the kernel security upload been pocket copied to releases?  if not, could it be please?
[10:37] <cjwatson> elmo: YM updates?
[10:37] <elmo> I do, sorry
[10:37] <elmo> monkey see release in IRC channel name, monkey type release
[10:37] <cjwatson> elmo: that's automatic now unless there's a conflict in updates - and yes, it's been done
[10:38] <elmo> cjwatson: ok, thanks
[10:38] <cjwatson> thank cron ;-)
[10:38] <elmo> well presumably cron didn't cron itself
[10:38] <cjwatson> there is that
[10:38] <elmo> or if it did, I'm impressed
[10:38] <cjwatson> though have you checked the skynet status lately
[10:38] <cjwatson> ?
[10:38] <cjwatson> nagios alert: dangerously close to sentience
[10:38] <elmo> no, but I'll send Nafallo into one of the DCs and see if they let the puny human live
[10:39] <elmo> (kind of mixing my sci-fi metaphors there, but oh well)
[10:46] <ara> ttx, is pitti working today?
[10:51] <ttx> ara: haven't seen him yet
[11:02] <ara> apw, hello gentleman
[11:02] <apw> ara, hellooo
[11:03] <ara> apw, in the current alpha 1 desktop images, linux metapackage version is 2.6.34.5.4, but the rest of kernel packages are 2.6.34-5.13
[11:04] <apw> ara, the version number of meta is not entirly tied to the kernel package version numbers
[11:04] <apw> the 2.6.34 is the same, and the .5 matches the kernel -5 to make the correct linkage, the last digit in each case though is a upload number for that package
[11:04] <apw> so the last digit will be different between them
[11:05] <apw> does that make any sense ?
[11:05] <ara> apw, yes :-) thanks!
[11:06] <apw> ara, how is testing going?  must be busy for you
[11:06] <ara> apw, well, yes, but alpha 1 is quite relaxed, although I hope to see pitti arriving soon...
[11:07] <apw> he was working some odd hours yesterday to help get the cd-respins we needed done, but it is a national holiday in .de i think
[11:07] <ara> apw, ah, ok, and who's managing the release?
[11:08] <ara> I thought it was him
[11:08] <apw> ara, well yes, i didi think it was him, so it does seem unlikely he would forget about it
[11:08] <ara> apw, :)
[11:11] <cjwatson> pitti isn't doing the last steps, I am
[11:11] <cjwatson> though I've been a bit distracted this morning
[11:15] <cjwatson> huh, we didn't respin for the rescue-mode menu fix
[11:15] <cjwatson> oh well
[11:34] <ScottK> FWIW, one of the main characters in "The Lion King" is a Meerkat.
[11:35] <ScottK> (Timon)
[11:41] <slangasek> the haquna matata release?
[11:41] <slangasek> hakuna
[11:41] <cjwatson> y'all are preempting my quote ;-)
[11:41] <slangasek> :-)
[11:42] <ara> cjwatson, charlie-tca wanted this bug (and the workaround explain in the bug report release noted):
[11:42] <ara> http://launchpad.net/bugs/586012
[11:42] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 586012 in xfce4-panel (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "[Maverick] XFCE system tray became unusable after upgrade to libgtk2.0-0 2.21.0-1ubuntu2 (affects: 9) (dups: 3) (heat: 60)" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[11:42] <ara> cjwatson, it is a Xubuntu bug
[11:42] <cjwatson> ara: ok, can he write up suitable text?
[11:42] <cjwatson> ara: he can feel free to add it to MaverickMeerkat/TechnicalOverview, actually
[11:43] <ara> cjwatson, he's not around, but the text he provided in the bug description seems to be good enough. I will add it to the TechnicalOverview
[11:44] <cjwatson> thanks!
[11:44] <cjwatson> ara: do you know if any mythbuntu testing has happened?  for some reason it isn't on the tracker
[11:45] <cjwatson> but there's a daily build from yesterday morning
[11:45] <ara> cjwatson, I think they had some problems (not sure which) and they decided not to release alpha 1
[11:45] <ara> cjwatson, I can try to discover more details
[11:45] <cjwatson> ok, at your leisure
[11:49] <cjwatson> so I think the releasable images are: Ubuntu desktop+alternate+server amd64+i386; Ubuntu netbook i386; UEC/EC2 amd64+i386; Kubuntu desktop+alternate amd64+i386; Kubuntu netbook i386; Xubuntu desktop+alternate amd64+i386; Ubuntu Studio alternate amd64+i386
[11:49] <cjwatson> I see no releasable armel images
[11:49] <cjwatson> does anyone see anything incorrect here?
[11:50] <cjwatson> speak now or hold your peace until alpha-2
[11:52] <ara> this is the xubuntu release note item: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/TechnicalOverview?action=diff&rev2=13&rev1=12
[11:54] <cjwatson> thanks
[11:55] <cjwatson> starting publishing
[12:01] <ara> I asked around #ubuntu-mythtv and apparently they haven't made any changes yet in the myth* world, so they decided not to test alpha 1
[12:02] <cjwatson> ok
[12:02] <cjwatson> thanks
[12:44] <cjwatson> smoser: could you do the EC2/UEC alpha-1 publishing, please?  I've not done it before and am not sure now is the time for me to learn
[12:45] <cjwatson> (would I even have the necessary permissions?)
[13:15] <cjwatson> could somebody please test the alpha-1 torrents, e.g.  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/alpha-1/maverick-desktop-i386.iso.torrent  ?
[13:15] <cjwatson> NAT here makes it difficult for me to do so
[13:16] <Laney> I added it but it sees no peers
[13:16] <Laney> at least the tracker appears to know about it
[13:19] <cjwatson> elmo: ^- does the tracker seem to be operating as normal?
[13:19]  * cjwatson expects the response "no, actually, it seems to be working"
[13:20] <Laney> oh, there's one now
[13:20] <cjwatson> ah yes, it's downloading here too
[13:20] <cjwatson> gosh, my NAT firewall must work better than I thought
[13:21] <cjwatson> all right, in that case I'm just waiting for newz2000 to publish /testing on the website
[13:21] <cjwatson> I have the announcement text in an editor window here
[13:30] <smoser> cjwatson, we're pre-published. are you ready to publish publicly ?
[13:30] <smoser> ah. i see, yes you are.
[13:36] <cjwatson> yep
[13:40] <apw> is it me or is launchpad down again
[13:40] <Laney> wfm
[13:40] <apw> i had the 'read-only' stuff up for a while there
[13:41] <apw> but its just gone away on reload ... hrm
[13:41] <apw> though all the queue depths on the builders are 'unknown' hrm, something is wibble
[13:42] <smoser> cjwatson, images are public now, but http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/ isn't getting populated with 'maverick' and 10.10 directories.  i've asked in #is for help on that.
[14:08] <smoser> cjwatson, and http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/alpha-1/ is there now.
[14:35] <cjwatson> great, thanks
[14:41] <Laney> I appear to already have seeded several gigs of A1 :)
[17:52] <robbiew> cjwatson: nice work on alpha 1 sir....thanks you and everyone else for pitching in
[17:54] <cjwatson> glad it's out ...
[17:55] <cjwatson> now we have, what, four weeks to alpha 2?
[18:05] <charlie-tca> cjwatson: I realize you are very busy. Thanks for the xubuntu release note!
[18:08] <slangasek> cjwatson: haha, how did I miss the warthog connection there?  Nice touch - and congrats on getting alpha-1 out
[23:15] <cjwatson> slangasek: it was serendipitous - I'd given up on getting any better quote, and then I found that
[23:15] <cjwatson> charlie-tca: thank ara
