* achiang would like to get some guidance on bug #46937603:29
ubottuLaunchpad bug 469376 in udev (Ubuntu) "USB device insertion causes total system lockup on Ubuntu 9.10" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/46937603:29
achiangmy question is, does that bug qualify for SRU process?03:29
ebroderachiang: Almost certainly not a total backport03:30
achiangadmittedly, my fix was somewhat blunt trauma, involving an entire backport03:30
ebroderWe don't like blunt trauma for SRUs03:30
achiangnod03:30
lifelessachiang: its all about risk.03:31
achianghm, maybe comment #18 has a clue. i could look in the upstream modem-manager logs to see if there's a fix for "ozerocdoff"03:31
achiangthat would probably be sufficient to cherry pick03:31
ebroderYeah, that would likely work03:32
ebroderAlternatively, try git-bisect :)03:32
achiangebroder: i mean... yeah, but. for each bisection run, i'd have to rebuild the package...03:33
achiangand i don't think the ubuntu package is setup for that03:33
achiangso that means grabbing upstream git repo, dropping in the debian/ directory, and then hoping it builds at random bisection points03:34
achiangnot to mention, how do i manage the package on my test system... although i guess i could just fake continuously increase the ubuntuX version number for each bisection run03:35
macoubuntuX~meY ?03:35
ebroderachiang: I would drop the debian directory in, assume that running through the bisection won't touch it, and leave the version number the same the whole time - dpkg -i will gladly install whatever .deb you give it, regardless of the version03:35
ebroderAnd you can tell git-bisect to skip a revision if it doesn't build03:36
achiangebroder: not a bad point...03:36
ebroderThe tricky part is because you're trying to bisect a fix, the meanings of git-bisect's "good" and "bad" are reversed03:36
achiangmaco: ah, thanks for the reminder. i always forget the ~ operator in version strings03:36
achiangebroder: yep, i'm familiar with that. :)03:36
macoachiang: well youd want + if youre using the old ubuntuX number and ~ if youre using the future one...03:36
achiangModemManager$ git log 07114d..be28089 --oneline | wc -l03:38
achiang38403:38
achiangmaybe a bisection run is what i want. that's a lot of commits to inspect manually...03:39
ebroderachiang: You know about the pickaxe? :)03:39
achiangebroder: hm, what should i be pickaxing for?03:39

achiangthis is with both a USB key and an SD card04:08
ebroderachiang: I think there's an issue with creating Lucid USB keys using Maverick's usb-creator and vice versa04:08

* achiang reads the bug in more depth04:11
achiangok, some workarounds in there...04:11
achiangwow, the 'help' workaround actually helped.04:12
achiangebroder: thank you04:13
ebrodernp04:13
achiangboo. as expected, simply dropping debian/ into upstream ModemManager and trying a pbuild in a lucid chroot experiences a FTBFS. :-/04:43
RAOFQuick debugging question: Is there any way to get gdb to use symbolic names for #defines?  I know that the information no longer exists in the code, but it'd be really helpful to see “GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR” rather than “9987”05:14
achiangwhoo. git bisect going fast now.05:25
StevenKRAOF: I don't think gdb even has that information -- since the #defines are replaced by the C pre-processor05:26
RAOFYeah.05:27
RAOFIt *could* parse out the .h files and match values to #defines though.05:27
RAOFI mean, you'd false-positive quite often, but you could do it :)05:27
achiangshouldn't that just work though? does gdb know about your source directory?05:28
RAOF<Sarvatt> compile with -gdwarf-2 -g3 :)05:28
RAOFSarvatt: Really?  That keeps #define information?05:28
RAOFAnd if so, why don't we build *all* packages with that?05:29
StevenKProbably because it's massive05:30
RAOFI'd trade an order of magnitude bigger -dbgsym packages for #define information.05:30
TheMusoConsidering that dbgsym packages are only used for debugging, and live in a separate repo, I'd agree.05:32
* RAOF tries a test-build of mesa with -gdwarf-2 -g305:33

spetreaand I'm working on some new things for it here https://github.com/wsdookadr/vifm09:37
tumbleweedspetrea: your best bet is to talk to the debian maintainer for vifm, it looks like he should package up 0.5 as well. We are currently carrying a few patches to it, so some more won't hurt (if they are important)09:56

loolcjwatson, pitti: Hey there; would you mind NEW-ing three new kernel sources in natty?  linux-linaro-{mx51,vexpress,omap} are the source package names; these are going to go through binary NEW afterwards as well12:12

pittilool: hm, we already build -omap from the main linux source?13:16
pittilool: and also from linux-linaro13:17
loolpitti: linux-linaro will go away13:18
loolpitti: Main linux source > I think the omap flavor is going away too13:18
loolpitti: In any case, the Linaro kernels are different; they are used in the Linaro images and have different config policies and patches etc.13:19
loolpitti: In fact, if you look at latest linux source package, it didn't build omap on armel anymore13:19
loolSo I think linux-linaro-omap is the only remaining one for OMAP313:20
lool(considering linux-linaro is going away)13:20
pittiqok13:20
pitti-q13:20
pittilool: (it's a shame, though)13:20
loolpitti: Which part?13:20
pittiI thought the various flavours would be united in one source, not that the one source would be split further13:21
loolpitti: It's all generated from a single git tree, but build time was getting an issue13:21
loolpitti: But we are working on limiting the number of flavors13:21
pittioh, this is just to work around buildd time, it's actually one source?13:21
loolpitti: For instance our omap flavors supports OMAP3 and OMAP413:21
loolpitti: Yes, the main reason for the split is build time13:22

james_wdholbach, good thanks how are you?14:04
james_wdholbach, marked as rejected for you14:04
dholbachgood - it's just just gotten a bit cold over here :)14:05
mterryjames_w, I'm not partial...  for autotools, there's no well-formatted source for a description.  I could gobble up README if it exists, but not guaranteed to have nice summary line or anything.  And it would be a pain for each backend to implement the 'make it indented with blank lines being " ."' logic.  Maybe pkgme could mangle output of description to the right format?  Still doesn't help with not having a good summary l14:05
mterryine14:05
* dholbach hugs james_w14:05
dholbachjames_w, thanks muchly14:05
james_wmterry, yeah, I agree14:05
mdzpitti: hi14:05
pittihello mdz14:06
mdzpitti: your notes from the previous TB meeting say that sabdfl is supposed to chair this one, but I see he has declined the calendar invite14:06
mterryjames_w, so I'm inclined for vala to not ship a 'description'.  'maintainer' is interesting.  There are sources for that information (MAINTAINERS and AUTHORS), but looks like I would need to pull out one email address to use right?   Or can that field have commas?14:06
james_wmterry, I'm not sure about that actually14:06
pittimdz: ah, ok; he was the designated chair last time, so I took over and carried over Mark, I didn't actually ask him TBH14:07
james_wmterry, it does point out the need for some way for the user to give info that the backend can't/won't provide14:07
mterryjames_w, exactly14:07
mterryjames_w, the autotools backend could do a 'dumb' implementation of MAINTAINERS and only provide output if it's exactly one line14:08
mterryjames_w, that way the user could at least enter something.  Doesn't fix README though14:08
james_wno14:08
james_wmaybe we should have a pkgme.info file that is read or something?14:08
mterryjames_w, maybe that would be easiest...  or a doap file?  That would be nice and standard.  Not sure it has fields like we expect, let me check14:09
mterryXML isn't the friendliest...14:09
mdzmvo: have you had a chance to consider my brainstorm request?14:10
james_wmterry, hmm, doap would be cool actually, but I've never used it14:12
mvomdz: not yet, sorry. but I push it higher in my todo list14:15
mdzmvo: if you can't make the time for it, it's OK to suggest someone else who you think could do it14:16
mvomdz: thanks, I can create answer from my POV by tomorrow I think and will probably ask mpt to answer on the design questions/ideas14:18
mterryjames_w, well, doap seems like it has several things we want: homepage, maintainer, shortdesc, description.  Surprisingly does not appear to have a 'package_name' equivalent (only allows you to specify user-readable name).   Not sure that's necessarily worth its complexity?  I guess it depends on whether we think using the standard format would make it easier for UIs to generate the file?14:20
mdzmvo: the text is due in the next week or so; I'm just looking for confirmation that you will be able to do it by the deadline14:21
mdzmvo: can I put you down as 'confirmed' then?14:21
james_wmterry, perhaps if the information is there we should make use of it. However, if it doesn't cover all our needs we would need a pkgme.info as well?14:22
mterryjames_w, well, for the autotools case, it would cover all the missing gaps (maintainer, shortdesc, and description)14:22
mvomdz: yes14:22
mterryjames_w, I don't know about other buildsystems14:22
james_wmterry, right14:23
james_wmterry, this points to another need for layering backends?14:23
mdzmvo: great, thanks14:23
mterryjames_w, or really probably just providing a library of buildsystem helpers.  A vala backend might support both autotools and buildj and cmake, so simple inheritance may not be helpful.14:24
james_wmterry, hmm, good point14:25
ogra_acpitti, about the QT bug14:25
mvomdz: yw :)14:25
mterryjames_w, and maybe fake layering by falling back to a default helper for the currently specified 'buildsystem' if the backend doesn't provide it.  That way vala backend wouldn't have to specify a stub if it wouldn't add anything14:26
ScottKpitti: About the Qt SRU, I understand it's going to go through, but please don't force the same change into Natty.  Let's give upstream some time to work on it first (also due to gcc-4.5 breakage we can't build Qt in Natty right now anyway).14:26
ogra_acpitti, could you just accept the SRU into -updates, QT in maverick wont build atm14:26
ScottKogra_ac: maverick/natty14:26
ogra_acerr, yes14:26
pittiScottK: I wasn't going to; the task is open14:27
ogra_acpitti, for natty we would like to leave upstream the opportunity to fix it properly during the cycle ... if that doesnt work we can still apply the same change and have a NEON PPA14:27
pittiyes, I totally agree14:27
ogra_acpitti, we would like to have the STU done14:27
ogra_ac*SRU14:27
pittiokay14:27
ogra_acbut you make that depend on a natty upload14:27
rsalveticool14:27
ogra_acyay14:28
ScottKogra_ac: I think a Neon PPA for Qt for Natty is not an acceptable solution.  The runtime detection has to be fixed.14:28
mdzcjwatson: sabdfl will not be attending TB today, but is scheduled to chair. you're next in the rotation; would you be willing to fill in for him?14:28
ogra_acScottK, i agree14:29
pittiScottK, ogra_ac: marking as RC for natty beta, to keep it on the radar14:29
ogra_acScottK, but if its not fixed we need a fallback14:29
ogra_acScottK, static NEON isnt an option either14:29
ScottKogra_ac: Then put the no-NEON version in the PPA.14:29
ogra_acso the PPA is a fallback if upstream doesnt manage14:29
ogra_acScottK, not an option14:30
rsalvetiyeah14:30
ogra_acuserspace needs to support all armv7 platforms14:30
rsalvetiwe should never put neon by default, unless it's able to do the runtime detection14:30
ScottKogra_ac: What supported hardware is it a problem for?14:30
ogra_acScottK, the two options lool noted in the bug are fine14:30
ogra_acScottK, this is not about supported/unsupported HW14:31
ogra_acthis is about a commitment for our default userspace14:31
rsalvetithere are people who build community images on top of our archive, and they need no neon by default14:31
rsalvetiand we said that we would not put neon by default, publicly14:32
ogra_aceither have proper runtime detection or have a NEON PPA or build QT twice and have two binaries are the options we have14:32
ScottKrsalveti: Who is the "we"?14:32
rsalveticanonical arm team14:32
ScottKOK.  Not my problem then.14:32
ogra_acthere are people using ubuntu on non NEON devices14:32
ScottKogra_ac: As long as I can build an Ubuntu ISO with NEON in Natty, I'm happy.14:33
ScottKIt sounds like there are options that support that.14:33
ogra_acScottK, make upstream fix runtime detection is your best bet then14:33

ogra_acwe dont want to block you, dont take it personal14:33
ScottKogra_ac: I'm extremely frustrated that Canonical is making requirements on Ubuntu that aren't communicated to the community.14:34
ogra_acthe NEON settings are communicated since several releases14:34
rsalvetiyeah14:34
ogra_acthat decision was made during januty iirc14:35
ScottKogra_ac: Where is this documented?14:35
rsalvetiprobably also over uds and etc14:35
persiarsalveti, That's not really documentation, as such.  Someone needs to turn that into something else to be proper docs.14:35
ogra_acthere must be mails from lool to ubuntu-devel from that time iirc and meeting logs as well14:35
ogra_acthere were also specs to research it14:36
ogra_acand the outcome is documented somewhere14:36

SpamapSpitti: where did the configs move for the WI tracker since they're not in the trunk now?17:18
pittiSpamapS: lillypilly (aka people.c.c); sudo -u platform -i17:19
pittiSpamapS: then edit them in work-items-tracker/config/17:19
pittiSpamapS: I dropped it from bzr since they break using the WI tracker for other projects (at least the all-projects script)17:20
SpamapSpitti: ahh.. ok, I will have to finally figure out how to get on that box. ;)17:21
zyga-bedpitti, hi, how many other similar reports are generated?17:23
zyga-bedpitti, apart from the work item tracker17:24
pittizyga-bed: I don't know, but I heard from at least two other people that they are using this for their projects17:24
pitti(non-Canonical/Ubuntu, I mean)17:24
zyga-bedpitti, but are they using the work item data or something entirely separate?17:25
pittijust the code and scripts, not our data of course17:25
zyga-bedok17:25
ogra_acthe ubuntu-armel report is a community report17:25
pittibut I don't want to see the entire world's configuration files in upstream trunk17:25
pittiif we want this stuff in bzr, it shold be in a separate tree17:25
pittiif anyone wants to set that up, feel free17:25
zyga-bedpitti, I'm asking because of different context17:26
* pitti waves good night17:27
zyga-bedpitti, I wrote django-reports and after the first demo report I'm adding an example report that taps into the data from the work item tracker17:27
zyga-bedpitti, good night :-)17:27
pittizyga-bed: if you actually want to use the Ubuntu data, the .db files are available there as well17:27
zyga-bedpitti, yeah but for the moment using JSON is better for me _unless_ I can open your database file locally17:28
zyga-bedpitti, and doing the former makes me more likely to implement proper asynchronous tasks into the system17:28
zyga-bedpitti, anyway, I'll show you what I have once I get better and finish it17:28
zyga-bedpitti, the upside to static reports is that it's a live application17:29
zyga-bedpitti, and that all data it can show on the html page can be accessed via xml-rpc17:29
