cjwatsonthere's a patch in comment 30 on that bug; I don't know if it's just for qgesturemanager, or fixes everything16:17
dokoScottK: no16:17

dokoI don't see it yet in the linaro branch16:17
ScottKIt was targetted to Alpha 3 until a day or two ago.16:18

cjwatsonso I need to work on that16:19

MootBotNew Topic:  action items21:16
barrymost of these are poolie's but please chime in if you know the status of them21:16
barry   * poolie to advertise udd projects to non-staff contributors21:16
barryi believe this is done21:16
barry   * poolie to integrate jml's feedback into lep21:17
barryanybody know anything about this one?21:17
jelmerI don't think I've seen anything about the first item21:17
barryoh, maybe i'm just thinking about the internal email21:18
barry   * poolie to meet with allison re lep21:18
barry   * poolie to meet with robbiew re lep21:18
barryknow anything about these?21:19
jelmerI think the second item happened, or at least something about it happened.21:19
barryi don't know what these leps are about.  do you know?21:19
jelmerah21:19
jelmerit's https://dev.launchpad.net/LEP/BuildFromBranchIntoPrimary21:20
barryah, cool.  yep, i've been following that one21:20
jelmerthe LEP mentions Allison read it21:20
barrycool, thanks21:21
barry   * jam to propose/report plan for quilt imports21:21
barryjam doesn't appear to be around21:21
barryhe's in a different timezone now :)21:21
jelmeryeah, I guess something went wrong there :)21:22
* barry is particularly interested in this one21:22
jelmerjames_w: ping21:22
james_whi21:22
jelmerbarry: I've been working on getting daily builds of GNOME packages based on the upstream imports and the ubuntu-desktop packaging branches21:22
james_wsorry I am late21:22
jelmerbarry: I'm slowly starting to realise what an awesome feature properly working looms would be21:23
barry:)21:23
barryjelmer: do you think looms<->quilts makes sense?21:24
jelmerbarry: Yes; I think we should fix looms where it doesn't make sense21:24
barryvery cool21:25
barry   * poolie forward/link to https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/ComponentReleasesWithBzr21:25
barry 21:25
barryi guess w/o poolie we should move on21:26
barry[TOPIC] Package importer progress21:26
MootBotNew Topic:  Package importer progress21:26
barryjames_w and/or jelmer ?21:26
jelmerVincent and John fixed a lot of things in the importer21:26
james_wvila has done some good work cleaning up the code and making it more robust21:27
james_wthere were also some bugs fixed that were causing import failures21:27
slangasekpoolie did forward that link to ubuntu-devel, so maybe that's done?21:27
james_wthere's a bzr bug that spiv has a branch for that is affecting quite a few imports21:27
barryslangasek: i do seem to remember it as well21:27
james_win fact it occurs when there is a collision detected21:27
james_wand we had our first (known) real live one of those yesterday21:28
barryjames_w: what kind of collision do you mean?21:28
pooliehi all21:28
james_wso the crash indicates it would have done the right thing, but it was a shame not to see it work out :-)21:28
jelmer'morning poolie21:28
james_wsomeone pushed to the branch at the same time someone else uploaded21:28
james_wso the archive and the branch disagreed21:28
james_whi poolie21:28
barryhi poolie21:29
barrygotcha21:29
slangasekjames_w: is this a collision that only occurs when the upload and push both happen within a certain rescan interval?  Because we've certainly had collisions of the more general kind before21:29
barrypoolie: we ran through the action items already, but since most of them are assigned to you, can you catch us up in a few minutes?21:30
james_wslangasek, you mean two people uploading, or collisions involving UDD?21:31
james_wperhaps collision isn't the best name for this situation21:31
slangasekjames_w: one person committing to the UDD branch, followed by someone ignoring the branch and uploading21:31
pooliesure21:31
james_wslangasek, right, that's the same situation21:31
slangasekjames_w: ok, so yesterday is definitely not the first time this has happened, but maybe there's a new bug in bzr that's entangled here :)21:32
james_wslangasek, ok, it was the first confirmed one that I could remember :-)21:32
slangasekoh, sorry21:32
slangasekdidn't know you wanted me to yell when it happens :-)21:32
barryjames_w: any summary on how we're doing for package imports?  # or % fewer failures now?  how many still failing?21:33
james_wslangasek, nope, it's supposed to be taken care of automatically. This time it was just that people weren't sure what would happen, and so asked me to take a look21:33
james_wthere are numbers and graphs on http://package-import.ubuntu.com/status/21:34
james_wyou can see that there has been a downward trend since the start of the year21:34
slangaseka number of the current import failures are cases where I know there's been divergence between UDD and archive, followed by a manual fix-up on the branch21:35
barrythat's really fantastic21:35
slangasekhow can we reconcile those so they're not shown as failures?21:35
slangasek(see, this has been going on for quite a while, and I thought I was doing good by updating the branches by hand ;)21:36
james_wslangasek, do you have an example?21:36
slangasekjames_w: sure, one sec21:36
slangasekjames_w: qemu-linaro21:36
slangasekalso, armel-cross-toolchain-base cdbs gcc-4.5-armel-cross plymouth21:36
james_wok, that needs an importer admin to check and tell the importer that the situation is fine, and it should carry on21:37
slangasekhow best do I raise this (outside of the present meeting, that is?)21:37
slangasekI think the one time I tried to raise it on #is, I had bad timing due to the importer being offline right after squeeze release :)21:37
james_wa bug on udd would be appropriate I think21:38
slangasekok21:38
james_wthe procedure is documented on the wiki if you ask an admin and they don't know how to do it21:38
pooliejust what issue is "this"?21:39
james_wthat someone messed with the branches, and the importer currently keeps an audit log and complains when that happens21:40
poolieok21:40
barryif now's a good time, poolie can you catch us up on the action items?21:42
pooliesure21:42
poolieso, we had a big thread about udd, with some feedback about the lep21:42
pooliei still need to fold that in21:42
pooliei spoke to allison about it; not yet to robbie21:42
pooliei was going to update it and then talk to him21:43
pooliei did forward a link to poolie forward/link to https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/ComponentReleasesWithBzr in to the packaging doc thread21:43
barrydid you advertise the udd projects to non-staff?21:44
poolienot as such, only through discussion on the u-d list21:44
pooliewhat would be a good way to do that?21:44
barryother than also on the bzr mlists?  i don't know21:45
poolieperhaps we should can that21:45
barrycool.  i can leave that one un-done21:45
pooliei think on the whole it's better to just be open about what we're doing and have easy tasks for people to begin on if they want21:45
barryyep21:46
barrypoolie: do you know anything about jam's progress/plan for quilt imports?21:46
pooliealso, i spoke to flacoste and jml about scheduling work on the lep21:46
pooliewhich is the main thing we have to do next21:47
=== Ursinha-food is now known as Ursinha
poolieit's not a very large amount of work, but it's not trivial21:47
poolies/on the lep/on building source packages directly from  branches without recipes21:47
poolieat the moment it looks like it is second in the queue for new tasks to start21:47
poolieafter finishing disclosure management (aka privacy, acls, etc)21:48
barrymakes sense21:48
pooliethat one is highly desired by canonical oem teams, and still half-done21:48
poolie[action] poolie talk to stakeholders about bfbip scheduling21:49
barry[action] poolie talk to stakeholders about bfbip scheduling21:49
MootBotACTION received:  poolie talk to stakeholders about bfbip scheduling21:49
pooliewe could possibly try it ourselves inside the bzr team, but i think on the whole it's better to wait for an lp squad21:49
poolieif they don't take it at that time, perhaps we will21:50
poolieregarding jam and looms: he's moving house so a bit distracted21:50
pooliei have seen some work by jelmer and others on looms recently21:50
barrypoolie: thanks.  any other news on action items?21:51
pooliethe plan on quilts is basically to turn the into looms21:51
pooliei think that's the full list?21:51
* poolie looks in old minutes21:52
poolieour kanban is now at <http://people.canonical.com/~mbp/kanban/canonical-bazaar-kanban.html> and should be updated every 30m21:53
pooliewere there other actions for me?21:53

pooliejust looking over that board21:55
poolieone change in the last week is that vila landed a new controller infrastructure into the package importer, which is supposed to make it more reliable21:55
poolieit closed some bugs, anyhow21:55
poolieas of approximately today, we're moving the package importer to its new hardware, and making it sysadmin-maintained21:56
pooliejelmer is working on foreign branch bugs, and on infrastructure to allow testing them21:56
barrynice!21:58
poolieare there any bugs people would like attention to?21:58
barryi don't remember the bug number, but the one about warning when branching a package that has import failures.21:59
