cjwatsondoko filed a bunch of build failures that need to be looked at16:15
cjwatsonmvo_: can you take apt and aptitude?16:16
mvo_sure thing16:16
cjwatsonKeybuk: can you take upstart (two bugs, oddly)?16:16
cjwatsondoko: I guess you're dealing with the gcc-4.4 bug there yourself16:17
cjwatsonev: could you take perl?16:17
evcjwatson: sure16:17
cjwatson(ok, this is going to be sort of random now)16:17
cjwatsonbarry: could you take valgrind?16:18
barrycjwatson: yep16:18
cjwatsonpsurbhi: could you take iptables from that list?16:18
dokocjwatson: yes16:18
psurbhicjwatson, yes16:18
cjwatsonand I'll take, uh, cyrus-sasl2 I guess for now16:18
cjwatsonthat should get us moving a bit16:18
mvo_I will look at more when I have a idle moment, usually its fun to fix them16:19
cjwatsonyeah, feel free to grab more once you run out, this sort of thing is usually not too hard16:19
* robbiew will also cover them in this week's release meeting16:20
cjwatsonoh, and make sure to check for newer versions in Debian; if it can be fixed with a sync or a merge, so much the better16:21
barrycjwatson: +116:21
dokobarry: or new upstream/cvs for valgrind16:21

mvo_gdebi can now use the python-apt debfile.py and it became really nice16:22
dokogood news is that some soyuz bugs for test rebuilds are now fixed, enabling rebuilds for armel, and selecting only one component (main).16:22
robbiewNew release manager starts August 1st16:22
evyay16:23
Keybukcjwatson: err, I'm not sure I can fix this bug16:23
barrycool16:23
KeybukI'm just using dh 7 so it could be a debhelper bug?16:23
cjwatsonKeybuk: talk it over after the meeting?16:23

cjwatson[TOPIC] AOB16:27
MootBotNew Topic:  AOB16:27
cjwatsonI'm a bit worried that http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-foundations-maverick-alpha-3.html has been basically static for the last week16:27
cjwatsonplease have a look and see if there's anything easy you can pick off :-)16:27
robbiewreminder to fill out https://wiki.canonical.com/UbuntuPlatform/Sprints/Maverick/Foundations ;)16:28
cjwatsonI realise a lot of things will likely get moving at the sprint, but I tend to feel a bit uncomfortable in release meetings when I have to say that there's been no feature progress16:28
robbiewand https://wiki.canonical.com/UbuntuPlatform/Sprints/Maverick/CrossTeam, if you need to16:28
dokook, will update some specs16:28
* barry too16:28
* mvo_ needs to do that too16:29
cjwatsonok, anything else?16:30
dokoSchland!!!16:31
mvo_doko++16:32
robbiewlol16:32
evwork items> I've not been marking mine as completed as the installer design has changed slightly and created/deleted quite a few.  I'll clean that up this weekend, hopefully not offsetting the total too much.16:33
dholbachme hugs doko and mvo_16:33
cjwatsonyeah, it's perhaps unfortunate that the graph doesn't colour inprogress differently16:34
cjwatsonI wonder if it ought to16:34
cjwatsonI have a lot of stuff inprogress upstream but not yet landed16:34
barrycjwatson: i think it should16:35
loolcjwatson: (-fPIE, is this for upstart?  The original version was correct since it was a CFLAGS= passed to configure http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28983614/upstart_0.6.0-3_0.6.0-4.diff.gz probably the dh 7 refactoring)16:35
loolwill discuss after the meeting16:35
evwhat I'd really like is having (TODO, DONE, and X%), where X% could be how much of the task you estimate to be done.16:35
robbiewhmm16:35
cjwatsonmm, of course that may just mean the WIs are insufficiently fine-grained16:36
robbiewwell..if you have to estimate a task being done...perhaps the task should be broken in to more tasks ;)16:36
evgood points16:36
cjwatsonbut it can get a bit silly if you break down too much, hard to say16:36
robbiewtrue16:36
evsometimes you just don't know what's involved16:36
evand adding additional work items breaks the burndown16:36
robbiewev: how so?16:37
robbiewyou mean the trend line?16:37
mvo_yeah, while I like WI I find it hard to plan them in adavance too well16:37
evyes16:37
robbieweh...don't worry about that...I'd rather you add work items16:37
evnoted16:37
loolproblem is you cant even budget, one work item is one vertical unit on the chart; I think the server team extends them to be of variable size; one workaround is to budget workitems with Research day1: TODO, Research day2: TODO, Implementation day1: TODO etc.16:38
lool(we have the same problems wiht Linaro workitems being added :)16:38
evheh16:39
robbiewimo, the burndowns are useful for knowing how much work we have left to do16:39
robbiewand for knowing when we need to defer/drop16:39
robbiewthat's about it16:39
robbiewbut those are REALLY usefull16:40
robbiewand something we didn't have before16:40
robbiewanything beyond those uses...gets complicated and really needs a dedicated engineer to address them all, imo16:40
robbiew /soapbox speech16:41
cjwatsonI'll have a word with pitti and see if he thinks a separate category for inprogress makes sense; that's a relatively simple change16:41
cjwatsonI agree that more serious development probably gets out of scope pretty quickly16:42
cjwatsonok, anything else?16:42
evnothing here16:43
barrynope16:43
robbiewnope16:43
psurbhicould submitted upstream be a good milestone? because thats very close to "Done"16:43
dokodepends much on the work item16:44
psurbhiok16:44
cjwatsonyeah, it varies a lot, sometimes that's close to done, sometimes that's just the first step in a safa16:45
cjwatsoner, saga16:45
psurbhiok16:45
cjwatsonanyway, perhaps further work items discussion -> #ubuntu-devel16:45
cjwatsonthanks all16:45

RhondaShouldn't MootBot report times in UTC?18:56
sorenRhonda: It should. It never did, though.19:18
sorenRhonda: I think it's UTC-5 or something weird like that.19:19
RhondaThe person running it should just export TZ=UTC before starting the bot.19:19
RhondaThat should fix it.19:19
