| jibel | ara, Hi, while reading the testcase wiki I've found no testcase that cover the upgrade from an iso to the current -updates ? | 09:26 |
|---|---|---|
| jibel | ara what do you think about adding these cases ? | 09:27 |
| ara | jibel, can you explain the use case, please? I don't think I got it | 09:27 |
| ara | jibel, et.... bonjour :) | 09:28 |
| jibel | ara, the rationale is that we test every single package that goes to -updates with the SRU process | 09:28 |
| ara | jibel, yes | 09:28 |
| jibel | but we never test that a fresh installation from an iso is upgradeable to the version -updates | 09:28 |
| ara | jibel, ah, ok, like installing the 10.04 and then update | 09:28 |
| jibel | yes, that's it | 09:29 |
| jibel | e.g I use a livecd with 10.04.1 | 09:29 |
| jibel | and the run a dist-upgrade to the latest version in -updates | 09:29 |
| jibel | we could add such test case for the latest release and latest LTS and run it maybe once a month | 09:30 |
| ara | jibel, sounds good, I like it | 09:31 |
| ara | jibel, maybe we can automate that as well | 09:31 |
| jibel | ara, give me 1mn to find an issue that could have been avoided. | 09:31 |
| jibel | ara, bug 557023 and bug 591207, cjwatson fixed in maverick and will be fixed in 10.04.2 | 09:33 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 557023 in usb-creator (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) / cp: cannot stat `/vmlinuz': No such file or directory (affects: 95) (dups: 47) (heat: 471)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/557023 | 09:34 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 591207 in casper (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 1 other project) "Casper's USB update-initramfs shim should look for initrd.img in /boot (affects: 3) (dups: 2) (heat: 72)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/591207 | 09:34 |
| jibel | ara, and yes that could be automated. Maybe the auto-upgrade-tester already covers it. | 09:35 |
| ara | jibel, auto-upgrade-tester? | 09:35 |
| jibel | ara, that's a tool developed by mvo as part of update-manager to test release upgrades | 09:37 |
| ara | jibel, OK, the one used to create mvo's report? | 09:37 |
| jibel | ara, maybe. Can you point me to that report. the package is ... auto-upgrade-tester | 09:38 |
| ara | http://people.canonical.com/~mvo/automatic-upgrade-testing | 09:38 |
| ara | I didn't know that mvo's tool was packaged, thanks for sharing | 09:41 |
| jibel | ara, yes that what he used. | 09:41 |
| jibel | ara, I didn't know you didn't knew :) | 09:41 |
| jibel | ara, the source package is update-manager | 09:42 |
| ara | jibel, cool, then we could add that test to cover that, and maybe we can ask mvo to add it to his run | 09:42 |
| jibel | mvo, ^^^ | 09:44 |
| jibel | ara, I can draft the test cases if you wish. | 09:45 |
| ara | jibel, that would be great, thanks | 09:45 |
| mvo | what needs to be added? sorry, missed part of the context here. but I can certainly add it | 09:49 |
| mvo | I think :) | 09:49 |
| mvo | so automatic 10.04 (stock) upgrades to 10.04-updates ? | 09:51 |
| persia | Well, and 10.04.x (stock) upgrades to 10.04-updates | 09:51 |
| ara | hey persia, mvo: nice to see you around | 09:55 |
| jibel | mvo, yes. These cases are currently not covered. I pointed ara to bug 557023 and bug 591207 which could have been avoided | 09:56 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 557023 in usb-creator (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) / cp: cannot stat `/vmlinuz': No such file or directory (affects: 95) (dups: 47) (heat: 471)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/557023 | 09:56 |

| jibel | We'd like to run them automatically on a monthly basis for the latest stable release and the latest LTS | 09:56 |
| jibel | mvo, and I was wondering if auto-upgrade-tester could do that | 09:57 |
| mvo | jibel: I think it can, let me add a test profile for this | 09:58 |
| mvo | jibel: I can run it as part of the normal rotine (daily) | 09:58 |
| mvo | jibel: what profiles do you need? just ubuntu-desktop? I guess ideally all ,) ? | 09:59 |
| jibel | mvo, not sure that daily is useful, there is 1 large batch of packages pushed to -updates once a week. So weekly would be enough. | 10:00 |
| mvo | ok | 10:00 |
| jibel | mvo, all of course! | 10:01 |
| jibel | mvo, are you able to test different arch too ? | 10:02 |
| mvo | haha, I excepted nothing else ;) | 10:02 |
| mvo | in theory yes, but not easily, it requires a kvm/qemu that is capable of running the arch. so I guess for arm we should be ok, I have no idea how fast/slow it is | 10:03 |
| persia | powerpc should work as well. | 10:03 |
| jibel | amd64 ? | 10:03 |
| persia | Both are very slow, and both occasionally break when certain operations are performed. | 10:03 |
| mvo | pommerac is amd64 so kvm should be able to do 64 as well | 10:03 |
| mvo | thanks persia I have no experience with how well they work. if its stable enough for a release upgrade we can add them too (the machine has resources left) | 10:04 |
| jibel | great, that covers nearly everything. Only the liveusb with persistent storage will need to be run manually then. | 10:05 |
| persia | For lucid, I used them both a lot: armel worked OK, and powerpc not so well. For maverick, I've had occasional crashes with both of them attempting to install metapackages. | 10:05 |
| persia | liveusb with persistent storage can be modelled in qemu/kvm. | 10:06 |
| jibel | persia, with 1 virtual devices to simulate to boot device and another named casper-rw for the storage ? | 10:08 |
| persia | With one virtual USB device with 2 partitions (losetup/kpartx) to simulate everything. | 10:09 |
| jibel | persia, oh okay. Never tried that. | 10:11 |
| mvo | jibel: what about testing upgrades to -proposed instead (or in addition)? | 11:07 |
| jibel | mvo, not instead. security updates are not in proposed. if a version in -proposed superseded a version in -security we would skip the current version in -security/-updates | 11:11 |
| jibel | mvo, furthermore some packages are broken in -proposed for weeks (like the current version of gallery2 for example) | 11:12 |
| mvo | jibel: ok | 11:12 |
| jibel | mvo, so we would report them everyday and that's not relevant because the current release is fine. | 11:12 |
| jibel | mvo, I don't think it's worth spending cpu cycle on it. | 11:12 |
| jibel | mvo, even cycle/s/ | 11:13 |
| jibel | mvo, and oh, not all of updates are in -proposed since the packages are deleted. | 11:15 |
| mvo | jibel: thanks, that makes sense, I let a test run over lunch and if its good push to pommerac soon(ish) | 11:15 |
| jibel | mvo, great. You *rock* ;) | 11:16 |
| * mvo blushes | 11:17 | |
