[17:04] pom poms, robbiew ? [17:04] you know it! [17:04] [TOPIC] Review ACTION points from previous meeting [17:04] New Topic: Review ACTION points from previous meeting [17:05] Daviey to talk with wider docs team regarding translations (deferred, carry over) [17:05] -- This is still carried over. [17:05] Daviey to post another followup one euca-dhcp bug. (carry over) [17:05] -- scheduled to talk with upstream today via phone. [17:05] (and yesterday for that matter) [17:05] SpamapS to put his version of ubuntuserver-minutes in directions for writing minutes [17:05] -- looks done [17:06] [TOPIC] Natty Development [17:06] New Topic: Natty Development === jj-afk is now known as jjohansen [17:06] So, we are in Ubuntu Beta 1 hard freeze. [17:07] Hopefully the ISO building is starting to stabilise, and we should have a potential candidate soon (if not now) [17:07] We could do with some additional testing of these candidates.. [17:07] Daviey: fyi, the aubergine color got dropped from the beta1 debian-installer :-( [17:07] http://people.canonical.com/~platform/workitems/natty/canonical-server-ubuntu-11.04-beta-1.html [17:07] LINK received: http://people.canonical.com/~platform/workitems/natty/canonical-server-ubuntu-11.04-beta-1.html [17:07] Daviey: sort of inadvertent fallout of making it configurable [17:08] how come? [17:08] kirkland, that is a shame... [17:08] Daviey: i'm trying to fix it now [17:08] kirkland, So that will land after beta 1 now? [17:08] Daviey: yes, pray that the fix gets accepted for beta2 [17:08] Daviey: cjwatson said that he's not rebuilding debian-installer for beta1 at this point (understandably) [17:09] kirkland, I hope so! I liked the aubergine love. It was in yesterdays ISO - when was it dropped? [17:09] Daviey: debian-installer rebuilt yesterday, which used the updated newt configuration, where newt's palette is configurable [17:10] Daviey: and that configuration did not propagate to the debian-installer bits [17:10] I see, thanks kirkland - is there a new bug / WI that is tracking this? [17:10] Daviey: i'm trying desparately to get it working [17:10] kirkland, rocking. [17:10] Daviey: i honestly haven't had time to file a bug, focused on fixing it ASAP [17:10] kirkland, ok, sounds good. [17:10] Daviey: but i thought i'd mention it here, thanks [17:10] Okay.. regarding our burn down chart.. [17:11] As we are in freeze now, any items that are in main/multiverse need to be adjusted to beta2 - or discussion if they should be dropped. [17:12] Regarding release bugs... We do have a handful.. they look like they are making progress - so not sure we need to discuss them further here. [17:12] Does anyone else have any comments for Natty development? [17:12] moving on [17:12] [TOPIC] Ubuntu Server Team Events [17:12] New Topic: Ubuntu Server Team Events [17:13] Doesn't look like we have any new ones confirmed in the short term. [17:13] [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) [17:13] New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) [17:13] This Saturday April 2nd. Texas Linux Fest. kirkland and I are presenting [17:13] Hmm well there is puppet camp at the end of next month [17:13] Daviey: ^^ [17:13] RoAkSoAx, ah, thanks! [17:14] Openstack Summit next month [17:14] Yeah, i thought that was > short term. :) [17:14] it is short term :) [17:14] New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) [17:15] hggdh, the floor is yours, sir [17:15] hggdh, seems afk... we will come back [17:15] [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb) [17:15] New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb) [17:16] smb, Are you around? [17:16] Yes, a bit late but I am here [17:16] smb, bug 740658 and bug 741224 have popped up in the last few days. [17:16] Launchpad bug 740658 in linux-meta-ec2 (Ubuntu) "kernels compiled with"CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK=y" lead to weird clock drifts on some CPUs. This may up ending in DOS" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/740658 [17:16] Launchpad bug 741224 in linux-ec2 (Ubuntu) "m1.large instances randomly freezing for 5-15 minutes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/741224 [17:16] Mostly being trying to bring lucid-ec2 into shape [17:16] both with a fair amount of helpful information. [17:17] * Daviey looks [17:17] just wanted to make sure you'd read through them, one follows through to upstream thread https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/629361/ [17:18] I think I had been looking at them. But I cannot say for sure exactly how things were there [17:18] smb / smoser: So the main issues with EC2 kernel is with Lucid, not Natty? [17:18] I need to get back tehere again [17:18] Daviey, There is one for natty afaik [17:18] Daviey, the issues are present in all releases. [17:18] :-( [17:18] the java not being installable on t1.micro [17:19] But other things tend to go quite a bit back [17:19] smb, is java on t1.micro looking good for Natty? [17:19] Daviey, no the other way round [17:19] it is not looking good for natty [17:19] but I had not yet time to look back into that [17:20] smb, ok, thanks [17:20] smoser, anything else for EC2? [17:20] There is one set of patches turning up a lot which changes the way interrupts are handled [17:20] * hggdh is back from a phone call [17:20] unfortunately those are not really triviall to get back to Lucid (not to mention hardy) [17:21] both t1.micro/java and those listed above are at least potentially bugs on all releases. i fully trust smb, its just a matter of hours in the day, and as he suggests nothing is trivial [17:21] But at least natty should be fine in that respect [17:21] smb, I'm not sure our users would be too concerned with the fix landing in Hardy tbh. [17:21] Daviey, there has been asking [17:21] there are some users who are interested in hardy fixes [17:21] oh. [17:22] smb, I was trying to make your life easier. :) [17:22] Nothing is impossible for the one that not has to do it. :) [17:22] has there been an update kernel for hardy yet? [17:22] Anyway those may go to Lucid [17:22] But then I still have to get that into there as well [17:23] Okay... are there any pressing issues for non-ec2 kernels atm? [17:23] zul, There has been no update to xen speciafically [17:23] smb: cool [17:23] I am not sure whether there has not been other changes in between though [17:24] kernel related.... john johansen sent a mail to ubuntu-server mailing list [17:24] asking for input on -virtual kernel. [17:24] yes! [17:24] yep [17:24] please, if the -virtual kernel has affected you, please speak up there. [17:24] zul, Actually, maybe you want to check whether you got the same amount of patches in your packatge [17:24] * jjohansen was waiting to pitch it [17:24] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2011-March/005348.html [17:24] smb: lets take it off line [17:24] There may have been something needing fix for a cve but I lost a bit track of time [17:24] ok [17:25] jjohansen, Do you want to speak? [17:25] jjohansen, go [17:25] zul, fyi, hggdh has info on hardy kernel updates as well. [17:25] Daviey: not really, I was just going to do a one more thing. The kernel team is looking for kernel input, please reply to the mail, or hunt me down [17:26] I think its been covered [17:26] super, thanks! [17:26] It's good to see there is not much concern with the tradional kernel for natty.. [17:26] * Daviey is happy [17:26] Thanks smb and jjohansen ! [17:26] [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) [17:26] New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) [17:27] hggdh, floor is yours, sir! [17:27] thanks [17:27] we are busy on ISO testing; also still working on the Euca bug [17:27] no news there yet [17:28] smoser: ec2 images ready for ISO testing? [17:28] hggdh, yes. [17:28] * Daviey has been working with hggdh to try and resolve the euca bug. [17:28] jamespage, is working on this , we're attempting to test through jenkins with the work eh's done there. [17:29] jamespage, Do you want to comment on the jenkins testing? [17:29] yep [17:30] so I executed a full set of tests this afternoon; its thrown up a couple of minor bugs with the testing framework which I will fix ASAP. [17:30] Results here -> http://jenkins.qa.ubuntu-uk.org/view/natty-ec2/ if anyone wants to take a look [17:30] jamespage / smoser: Is this expected to be the primary testing, or will traditional testing still be conducted for b1? [17:30] jamespage: can we consider these results as the "official beta" results? [17:31] heh [17:31] leaning torwards this being primary [17:31] +1 [17:31] That should be a good time saving! [17:31] They are against 20110329 [17:31] so we will need to run again [17:31] OK [17:31] Suggest I fix issues [17:31] (not really much time saving... the other tests were all automated as well) [17:31] I *think* we now have the final ISO -- the .2 [17:32] and they re-run once we think we have a good image for beta 1 [17:32] (candidate) [17:32] jamespage, Are they triggered automatically? [17:32] Daviey: yes indeed, the final, er, candidate [17:32] heh [17:32] No - thats intentional as they cost $$ to execute. [17:33] ok, so smoser pings you to fire them? [17:33] At the moment they have to be submitted individually (which is a bit of a pain) [17:33] Yes - thats fine. [17:33] groovy. [17:33] Anything else for hggdh, or QA related? [17:34] .. from me [17:34] hggdh, super... thanks.. I think we'll be talking more this week. :) [17:34] moving on... [17:34] well, since we're there. [17:34] hold on [17:34] smoser, go [17:34] so is there anything anyone knows about that should cause respin of 20110329 uec images ? [17:35] (built on taht date ~ 1:00 am UTC) [17:35] manifest http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/server/natty/current/natty-server-uec-amd64.manifest [17:36] smoser, Have you already tested those? [17:36] that is what jamespage ran a test on. [17:36] ah [17:37] nothing of interest has changed AFAIK. [17:38] moving on.

There [18:01] are several items that are relatively straightforward and simply need to have the time allotted [18:01] for them to be completed. I'll plan and implement that schedule for myself also this week. [18:01] .. [18:02] [TOPIC] Status: General Natty (apw / ogasawara) [18:02] New Topic: Status: General Natty (apw / ogasawara) [18:02] Beta-1 is this Thursday, March 31. Beta-1 will ship with the 2.6.38-7.39 kernel which is based on mainline v2.6.38. Do not expect any further uploads of the kernel until after Beta. In the mean time we've been queueing patches in the master-next branch including rebasing to the most recent 2.6.38.2 stable update. Also keep in mind that Kernel Freeze is April 14, ~2weeks away. After kernel freeze we will transition t [18:02] o our SRU policy when submitting and accepting patches. See: [18:02] [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates and [18:02] [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/StablePatchFormat [18:02] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates and [18:02] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/StablePatchFormat [18:02] I'd like to also note that Kernel Freeze is also the same date as Beta 2. Any uploads beyond that would likely have to be of the kitten killing nature. [18:02] .. [18:03] [TOPIC] Status: Stable Kernel Team (sconklin / bjf) [18:03] New Topic: Status: Stable Kernel Team (sconklin / bjf) [18:03] || [18:03] || We are extending the verification phase of this kernel cycle to two weeks in order to resync with master [18:03] || Natty interlock schedule. [18:03] || [18:03] || Due to a shortage of testing resources and testing required for the upcoming Natty release, there will [18:03] || not be a normal two-week kernel release cadence for the next few weeks. The schedule is as follows: [18:03] || [18:03] || kernel (maverick, lucid) -> proposed 3/25 [18:03] || verification in progress this week [18:03] || hw cert/qa - 4/1-4/7 [18:03] || kernel (maveric, lucid) -> update 4/7 [18:03] || kernel ( maverick, lucid?)-> proposed 4/22 [18:03] || verification 4/25-4/29 [18:03] || hw cert/qa - 4/29 - 5/5 [18:03] || kernel (maverick, lucid? ) to update 5/5 [18:03] || [18:03] || * We will complete verification (or revert of patches) by this Friday for the current kernels. [18:03] || [18:03] || * We will have no uploads on the 8th of April, effectively skipping one of the two week [18:03] || cycles that we have been on. [18:03] || [18:03] || * We will upload Maverick and Lucid to -proposed on Friday, April 22 [18:03] || [18:03] || We still have not found the root cause of a build failure for the hppa architecture for the Hardy [18:03] || linux-backports-modules package. This must be understood and resolved before we can release the [18:03] || Hardy kernel packages, so if it is not resolved by the end of this week we will have to delay [18:03] || the testing phase for Hardy until we understand it.

[18:08] thanks bjf [18:08] Thanks! [18:08] thanks bjf [18:56] o/ [18:58] * stgraber waves [18:58] my first meeting in a month [19:00] not that we actually had many others ;) [19:00] * wendar waves [19:00] last one we were only two attending [19:00] hehe [19:00] well I had tests [19:00] I guess we might need to restaff the ARB [19:00] and now a job :) [19:01] as pretty much everyone is busy with a lot of other things and we aren't that many on the board [19:01] well im good to go from here on in [19:01] yes, UDS should be good for that [19:01] well id be looking to continue on the board [19:01] since now I have loads of time [19:01] cool ! [19:01] btw, I just uploaded "news" [19:02] nice [19:02] excellent! [19:02] it got approved a while ago. We've been waiting for IS for a few weeks to get the screenshots uploaded [19:02] ARB? [19:02] maco: yep [19:02] then I noticed a few packaging mistakes that I asked to be fixed before uploading [19:02] fagan: ENOPARSE [19:02] maco: ?? [19:02] oh wait i get it now [19:03] there was just a really small packaging issue remaining but nothing that'd be a problem for the upload, so it should now be on extras.ubuntu.com soon enough [19:03] application review board [19:03] maco: the meeting currently in progress :P [19:03] maco: app review board [19:03] maco: hehe [19:03] maco: yes :) [19:03] * ajmitch is here for a short time before having to run to work [19:03] #startmeeting [19:03] Meeting started at 13:03. The chair is wendar. [19:03] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [19:03] [TOPIC] Review action items [19:03] New Topic: Review action items [19:04] [LINK] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Agenda [19:04] LINK received: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Agenda [19:04] some of these we just need to clear out now [19:05] like, conventions for tarballs? [19:05] any problems with deleting it? [19:06] im good with that [19:06] will do [19:06] daily-journal I found out about sideways, when we started getting failure reports on it from Natty [19:06] it should go, I think [19:06] it was added in Maverick as the first test app for extras [19:07] ajmitch [19:07] yeah it was [19:07] ajmitch: agreed [19:07] +1 [19:07] +1 [19:07] but, it was apparently copied over to Natty when the Natty archive was created [19:07] I didn't think it was meant to be used by people, I think we can delete it from the PPA? [19:07] so, needs to be removed from natty too [19:07] wendar: probably [19:07] however, we have to check on what deleting it from the PPA will do to extras.ubuntu.com [19:08] does someone want to take on that task? [19:08] * fagan wouldnt know who to ask [19:08] fagan: daily-journal was already removed from maverick? [19:08] wendar: nope [19:08] okay [19:09] probably start with asking mvo, he might at least know who else to talk to [19:09] * wendar looks at stgraber, for expertise in removing things from archive [19:09] It's probably worth a soyuz bug to now forward copy extras.ubuntu.com when a new release is created. [19:09] ajmitch: I'd ask wgrant. [19:09] now/not [19:09] ScottK: yes, definitely worth that [19:09] ScottK: right [19:10] so who wants to go do that [19:10] * ajmitch can ask him about it [19:10] wendar: I'd think removing it from our PPA and waiting 24h should do the trick. It won't remove it from users' machine though [19:10] thanks, ajmitch! [19:11] stgraber: I doubt many users have it installed [19:11] stgraber: this guy installed it looking for something entirely different [19:11] if we want to remove it, we'd need to upload an empty package or something, so I guess just removing it should be fine for now [19:11] well maybe removing it from 11.04 but not maverick just to be sure? [19:12] hmm, I only see it for natty [19:12] https://launchpad.net/~app-review-board/+archive/ppa/+packages [19:12] I dont think it does any harm by just sitting in the archive [19:12] oh then its ok if we remove it [19:12] mvo: ping [19:13] mvo: the package description indicates that it's there for software-center testing [19:13] mvo: and will be removed before release [19:13] can we consider "before release" as == "now" ? [19:14] I think so [19:14] and maybe find another way of testing extras.ubuntu.com in the future, even if that's to send an actual app through the review process [19:14] I think remote removing installed applications from user machines without a very strong reason is a very good idea. [19:14] ... is not a ... [19:14] well I think its ok for testing in dev releases [19:15] ScottK: I don't think we want to do that [19:15] id say it doesnt cause any harm [19:15] ScottK: agreed [19:15] removing from PPA now [19:15] "Canonical remote deleting apps, just like Apple" <-- slashdot. [19:15] Don't need that. [19:16] :) [19:16] stgraber: thanks [19:16] ScottK: yeah, the remote removal stuff was discussed at UDS for cases where there is a serious security vulnerability and upstream doesn't provide a fix in a reasonable delay (and we can't find an ARB member willing to fix it) [19:17] * fagan remembers that [19:17] Yep. That's a bit different than 'oops, it shouldn't have been there and we're getting bug reports now'. [19:17] I dont think thats on a wiki somewhere [19:17] fagan: not yet [19:17] fagan: it's probably on gobby, maybe on LP but probably not on the wiki ;) [19:18] stgraber: the usual breakdown in communications then [19:18] yeah [19:19] so next? [19:19] the last action item from previous meetings is the submission guide on the wiki [19:19] which is a work in progress [19:19] (good place to add notes on possible actions for security flaws) [19:19] is it worth keeping as an action item for next time [19:19] ? [19:19] as a reminder? [19:19] wendar: id love to spec a meeting to get an api for app submission going [19:19] for the UDS [19:20] yes, good idea [19:20] we may be able to piggyback on some existing code, which would be good [19:20] yeah that would be cool [19:20] * ajmitch would like to have had reviewing going smoothly before worrying about that [19:20] I'll tag that as an action item [19:20] ajmitch: well, we had one that went like clockwork [19:21] then it hung for over a month waiting for screenshots [19:21] ajmitch: well id say it would have to be there before the LTS release [19:21] and the review process would be sorted by then anyway [19:21] so, technology is getting in the way of the process [19:21] yeah [19:22] next, proposal reviews... [19:22] I just think it would be good to at least talk about anyway [19:22] definitely [19:24] there's been some work on the "developer console" website that was discussed at last UDS [19:24] just a start, but it has potential for our use [19:24] I dont remember that [19:24] have to poke around and find the blueprint [19:26] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appdevs-n-commercial-apps [19:26] stgraber: sorry, missed the ping. indeed, just for testing we should delete it soonish [19:26] * fagan has access to canonical wiki now so can actually see that [19:26] the wiki link I mean [19:27] hah, no reason it should be private [19:27] (and actually, the wiki is dead now anyway) [19:27] wendar: well the u1 team uses it a bit [19:28] on to proposals? [19:28] mvo: ok, I removed it 10min ago [19:29] wendar: I havent looked into the app that im assigned to [19:29] :/ [19:29] 4dtris? [19:29] has any one else followed up?

[19:34] * fagan cant remember [19:34] yes it was approved [19:34] wendar: there's screenshots attached, it needs to be put in a branch and merged into the screenshot branch [19:34] ah thats ok [19:34] oh, it also needs the custom metadata fields [19:34] what sort of size limit would you put on something for code review? [19:35] ajmitch: I think thats subjective [19:35] stgraber: yes, I offered the developer to do the branch and proposal for merge, then never got to it [19:35] ajmitch: I wouldn't give a size limit, if it feels too big/complex to you, then it's probably worth rejecting [19:35] you could have 5000 lines of really basic code or 1000 of the most complicated code [19:35] fagan: right, I'm just going for generalities, as I look at schedio [19:36] ajmitch: id say more than 2000 is my limit [19:36] id be a little bit afraid of missing something important in more than that [19:37] this one rocks in at 15k, mostly repetitive gtk+ coding, but some interesting stuff as well :) [19:37] ajmitch: if its 15k but repeating it could be acceptable [19:38] I'd reject it out of hand just looking at it, just don't know the polite way to do so :) [19:38] ajmitch: just say there is a complexity restriction [19:38] that it looks more appropriate to the full review process [19:38] that you are sorry but the application is just too bad for the app review process [19:38] but that they should go to the repo with it [19:39] * ajmitch has to leave in a couple of minutes, anyway [19:40] the last two are Tibetsi and harmonySEQ [19:40] new proposals with no shepherds yet [19:41] I can take one, now that news is launched [19:41] * fagan has one [19:42] will we get any more apps through the process before Natty is released? [19:42] I dont think we will [19:42] just looking at tibesti, there seems to be quite a few alternatives in the archive doing a very similar job [19:42] the next meeting is the week before release [19:43] * ajmitch has to run now, will read log later [19:43] later ajmitch [19:44] then we should switch to reviewing for entry into Natty (after release) [19:44] id say so [19:44] I dont know really id love to talk about this at the UDS [19:44] yes [19:44] considering how long it takes to get an app in the repository, it might be worth asking the new ones if they want to apply for 10.10 or 11.04 [19:45] especially the fact that the current scheme has us re-reviewing all the apps each time [19:45] I think we should stick to the LTS release after the next LTS is released [19:45] now we've only got 2 [19:45] but next cycle, we might have 10 or so [19:45] and the cycle after that,... [19:45] and hop between LTS to LTS [19:46] fagan: that doesn't quite fit with the idea of getting apps on "the current release" [19:46] or at least, it's only half the story [19:46] wendar: don't they have to re-apply for that ? I'm guessing part of the apps will be in the archive or superseded by something else. So it'll definitely get worse with time, but not necessarily a lot worse. [19:46] wendar: well the LTS is supposed to be the target of of apps that are going to get use for a long time [19:46] stgraber: they do have to reapply, which means we have to re-review [19:46] and id say that app developers would like to have their app in the repo for the longest time [19:47] stgraber: it should be easier than the first review, if there were no changes, though [19:47] wendar: reviewing a new version is just a matter of checking the delta, so it should go a lot faster at least. [19:47] so if it goes to the LTS release and then gets mirrored to the normal releases (where possible) it would work [19:48] fagan: well, the idea was that ARB apps wouldn't be used for a long time... but, probably something to talk about at UDS [19:48] yeah [19:48] too bad im not traveling again [19:48] in general, UDS seems like a good time to take stock of what we've done so far [19:49] fagan: we'll get you in on IRC [19:49] wendar: yeah id love if I could go on mumble or something instead [19:49] but I suppose IRC would be ok [19:49] fagan: yeah, I think they had that set up last time too [19:50] we can quite easily arrange using skype/mumble if listening to the stream + IRC isn't working well enough [19:50] but, we should talk on the mailing list ahead of time too [19:50] yeah well I can get stuff across by talking a lot easier than IRC [19:51] and its sometimes easy to miss stuff on IRC when talking in the room [19:51] anyway any more reviews? [19:52] that's all [19:52] cool [19:52] good meeting [19:52] who wants to chair next time? [19:52] I can do it [19:52] great, thanks! [19:53] #endmeeting [19:53] Meeting finished at 13:53.
