psurbhio/16:06
psurbhi1) still debugging mountall - upstart communication in initramfs. Analaysed that "a read on a socket is occuring for 0 bytes" , so connection between mountall and upstart is getting disconnected. Just have analyse what is happening :( but not the why part! (need to discuss this) hopefully by next week shall have a better status. not much PROGRESS in this week- sorry!16:06
psurbhi2) spent some time today on samba 526464 and 496160 (looked at the patch back portability and code trace), traced some nfs code last week.16:06
psurbhi(done)16:06
evbarry: sure16:06
robbiewdoko:?16:07
dokoshort week, starting on Mon. still catching up, long call with bjoern for LO, more mentoring, gcc linaro merges, gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.5 updates, binutils update, started eglibc-2.13 merge/packaging16:07
dokodone16:07
robbiewmvo?16:07
cjwatsonmountall/initramfs> if you can get strace into your initramfs and run mountall under it, that would probably be helpful16:07
mvoapt: merges from debian16:07
mvoaptdaemon: fixes, merges, upload new version16:07
mvoauto-upgrade-tester: add python-all test profile, run test, fix #715075, fix main-all bootstraping (always a bit of a pain)16:07
mvomago: modernize packaging, upload new bzr snapshot (needed for s-c)16:07
mvoReview lp:~csurbhi/+junk/mdadm.fixes (looks good, but needs changelog updates to refer to the individual bugs for the SRU)16:07
cjwatsonoh, unless you've already done that16:07
mvornr-server: debug/fix encoding issues (#714582), expose usefulness via API, add offline mode to piston-mini-client16:07
mvoSoftwae-center: branch review/merges, cleanup, debug oneconf issues, upload 3.0-sru, work on "was-this-review-useful" feature,16:07
mvoUpdate-manager: look at native python-patch impleentation (for applying emergency hot-fixes during the upgrade as some minimal systems do not even have "ed" installed). not much luck yet16:07
mvo(done)16:07
robbiewpsurbhi: did you see cjwatson's suggestion?16:07
psurbhicjwatson, thanks..! i will try that too16:08
robbiewmvo: so are there plans to allow people to sort applications by reviews?16:08
psurbhicurrently i am redirecting all the output to a serial port in kvm (and that goes to a file)16:08
psurbhiand i have put a trillion printfs in libdbus.. and mountall16:08

mvorobbiew: not currently, but maybe a top rated section16:09
mvorobbiew: but FF is close :/16:09
robbiewmvo: heh...sure...not meaning for 11.0416:09
robbiewjust in general16:09
psurbhicjwatson, i will try the strace today and hopefully find something more, thanks!16:09
robbiewtop rated is probably good enough16:09
mvoin the long term I think it would be really useful16:09
mvowe plan to have search results ranged by it too16:09

jhunt_Finished Upstart visualisation tests and pushed branch. Then found a bug in the Graphviz script which has led to a rework. Ironically, that rework ended up showing up a bug in autofs (bug 718664 which I fixed), and a minor bug in the Upstart visualization parser. A side-effect of the tests for the visualisation means that I have been able to write a script for users to syntax check their .conf job files prior to installing them into /etc/init/. Currently16:10

robbiewso the bug numbers for the team are not bad...unless you are mvo, who apparently loves to work bugs16:17
cjwatsonmight eventually get down to a comfortable level16:18
mvo*cough* I guess I love to collect them16:18
* mvo will agressively fix/unassign16:18

robbiewI probably can't fix any of them....but I can unassign/invalidate the REALLY old ones16:18

psurbhijhunt_, the message is cut off at Currentl :P16:20
cjwatsonIRC has a line length limit - you need to split16:20
jhunt__take 2, part 2...16:20
jhunt__Currently finishing off graphviz script and a "check mode" for initctl to detect invalid configuration combinations (useful for dpkg) and will then concentrate on looking at Keybuks branches in earnest along with packaging up my code for natty. I think we're running out of runway for my "interactive boot" work for this cycle (it wasn't actually scoped), but we'll see...16:20
jhunt__I think I'll revert to my old style of pasting next time :)16:21
robbiewheh...well, there's no shame in postponing work to the next release16:21
cjwatsonFWIW I'll be more than happy if we get the scoped work done, aside from future work ;-)16:21

mvoI ran a python-all upgrade test (including python packages from universe) from maverick->natty and it looks very good16:24
robbiew\o/16:24
mvo(filed some bugs, did some fixes, but overall very good, tag python27 for the remaining ones)16:25
mvoand I just uploaded apt-btrfs-snapshot to natty16:25
psurbhiyey16:25
* mvo is very excited about this one16:25
psurbhi:)16:25
barrymvo: thanks!16:25
cjwatsonthat went fast after the infrastructure was done :)16:25
mvothanks psurbhi for the work to make this happen (in the installer)16:25
psurbhimvo, thanks to you too for the wonderful feature16:26
mvocjwatson: yeah, its not hard, the tricky part was what you and psurbhi did (and the initial thinking)16:26
robbiewwhat does apt-btrfs-snapshot do?16:26
mvoit will create btrfs snapshots16:27
mvo;)16:27
cjwatsonthere are still some issues in grub2 that make it tricky to use by default (aside from any problems with btrfs itself)16:27
mvoon each apt-get install/remove/upgrade run16:27
cjwatsonin particular we don't have anywhere to put the environment block yet, so a few features won't work16:27
mvoplus it provides the needed hooks so that the release upgrade can use it16:27
cjwatsonwe have a design for a solution to that, but no code for it yet16:27
mvocjwatson: I also noticed that btrfs and dpkg do not play that well, everything feels slow because of the fsync() calls I assume16:28
mvothis needs fixing IMO as well before we can consider it as default16:28
mvobut its still a really nice step forward16:29
robbiewmvo: ah...cool16:29
robbiewthnx16:29
mvorobbiew: I should add that it works seamlessly, you install apt-btrfs-snapshot and you get snapshots plus a cli to manually create/list/delete16:30
mvo(well, on my test machine anyway ;)16:30
robbiewsweet16:30

highvoltageoope, not that one19:02
highvoltagehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Meetings/Agenda19:02
highvoltageshould we make Edubuntu meetings monthly instead and just plan more if we need them?19:02
mgariepyWould work for me.19:03
highvoltagewe don't usually have many people attending, and most of us that do usually follow #edubuntu19:03
alkisgSounds good19:03
alkisgOr we could have shorter meetings :)19:04
alkisg:P19:04
highvoltagewe've been doing that too :)19:04
highvoltagehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Devel/RoadMap19:04
highvoltageFeature Freeze is next week19:05
highvoltageso I'll work on getting acire/python-snippits in19:05
highvoltagelibrecad is uploaded, so we'll change the seeds to switch qcad for librecad19:05
highvoltagestgraber said that he should be ok working on the ubiquity stuff before then19:06
highvoltagenot sure if mhall119 made progress for the qimo gnome session yet, but as I know him he'll probably pop in any moment to give an update19:06
highvoltageI emailed the artwork team to let them know about our intentions working with doctormo, hopefully that turns out ok19:07
highvoltageand that's it I can think of now. anyone else have any news of what's been happening in Edubuntu recently?19:08
alkisgThe italc problem didn't cause much noise after all...19:09
alkisgNope, nothing from me19:09
mgariepynothing for me19:09
highvoltagealkisg: yeah, I was (pleasantly) surprised19:10
highvoltageok, let's call it a meeting then, thanks alkisg and mgariepy19:11
alkisgTy highvoltage19:11
mgariepythank you guys19:11
* mhall119 pops in19:13
mhall119no qimo progress at all to report ;919:13
mhall119:(19:13
mhall119debmower still doesn't work, and I haven't gotten around to ripping apart an xubuntu iso yet19:13
mhall119highvoltage: if push comes to shove, is there room on the DVD for Xfce?19:13
highvoltagemhall119: hmm, room yes, I think the bigger issue is shipping another desktop environment.19:14
highvoltagemhall119: I have some time allocated to work on debmower, I'm also going to look at Offspring and see if it's worth while, it's CA'd though and I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable with the future of that19:15
mhall119CA'd?19:16
highvoltagecopyright assigned19:16
mhall119ah19:17
highvoltageI'm not too confortable of having the possibility of having a free software project that might have to compete with an exact non-free version, but that possibly has more features added for show or something19:17
mhall119we can fork it though, if we wanted to19:17
mhall119it's OSI licensed?19:17
highvoltageyep19:18
highvoltagecody-somerville: will it support building debian CDs too?19:18
cody-somervillehighvoltage, Offspring isn't a build tool its self. If the build tool you use for a project supports it, then yes. Offspring ships with support for using live-build out of the box which is actually a Debian project. It supports building theoretically any Debian-based system.19:21
highvoltagecody-somerville: ok, that's pretty cool then19:21
