skaetsconklin,  thanks.16:04
bjfskaet, as per the email thread on this, this is not the last hardy kernel16:05

MootBotNew Topic:  Kernel SRU status - sconklin, bjf16:06
sconklinpretty much already been covered. everything is done for the last cycle16:06
sconklinWe're about to start another one.16:06
sconklinThe dates we're working toward are in the canonical kernel team calendar. When the master calender has dates, we'll work to them16:07

skaetbrendand, go ahead16:09
brendanddoes this commence the new 3 week cadence?16:10
sconklinyes16:10
brendandand is the new bug process going to be used?16:10
sconklin"new bug process" == what?16:10
* JFo is curious16:10
sconklinoh, you mean workflow tools16:11
sconklinyes16:11
brendandsorry, maybe wrong words. i mean the new SRU workflow16:11
sconklinyes.16:11
brendandand lastly, where is the ubuntu kernel calendar, for future reference?16:11
sconklinlooking for the url16:12
bjfi'll find it16:12
skaetsconklin, any concerns about 10.04.3 moving out a week?16:13
sconklinskaet: first I heard about it. Is it in a calendar? probably not a problem but I didn't know we had a master schedule for the next cycle yet16:14
skaetsconklin,  will be getting the master calendar up this week.  Just wanted to check with SRU kernel team before putting it up.16:15
skaetand let others here following this have a chance to flag issues too ;)16:15
sconklinI didn't know where it was scheduled originally even, so don;t know whether a week will make a difference16:15
skaethttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule16:16
sconklinbut I doubt it will be a problem16:16

sconklinsorry, Hardy16:22
sconklinThere is no final desktop kernel16:22
sconklinwe continue to produce kernels until server goes out of support16:23

MootBotNew Topic:  Review of any previous action items18:03
jdstrandblueprints should be (mostly) together now and our release status page up to date: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/ReleaseStatus/Oneiric18:03
jdstrandour blueprints for this release of course fell out of our UDS discussions18:04
keesoh good, I see the workitem tracker has been reset18:04
jdstrandkees: yes! I had a feeling it would happen today :)18:04
jdstrandI think kees and I need to still do some light review, but by and large the work items should be all set18:04
jdstrandI don't think there is a lot to spec out, beyond dbus/apparmor18:05
jdstrand[TOPIC] Weekly stand-up report18:05
MootBotNew Topic:  Weekly stand-up report18:05
jdstrandI'll go first18:05
jdstrandI'm in the happy place this week (yea)18:05
jdstrandI have a dbus-glib update I am getting back into. some my testing for that will help me define the test cases for the dbus/apparmor bp, which I hope to start looking at again this week. depending on what pops up, it is at least theoretically possible for me to pick up another update18:06
jdstrandother than a few administrative things that don't I don't need to waste time here with, I think that is it from me18:07
jdstrandkees: you're up18:07
keesokay, I'm on triage. I've at least got exim4 to do, and the hardy kernel announcement18:07
keesafter that, I'm trying to grind out all the graph data work items, since those should fall quickly if I can just get u-c-t to behave.18:08

sbeattieI'm on community this week, after triaging last week.18:10
sbeattieI have an apr update in the pipe, though I'm now trying to track down why the lucid arm build failed in a testcase.18:10
sbeattie(hooray for the vagaries of chroot builds)18:11
sbeattieafter that, I want to start poking at my apparmor work items for this cycle.18:12
sbeattieI also have some post uds administrivia to complete.18:12
jdstrandinteresting. I would guess that if it was armel, it wouldn't be chroot specific, but I've not looked at it at all18:12
jdstrand(just armel that is)18:12
* jdstrand also has post uds administrivia18:13
sbeattiejdstrand: the testcase that failed had to do with mutexs, so I'm suspecting that its a difference between kernels18:13
jdstrandah18:13

sbeattieyeah. and by yeah, I mean no.18:14

jdstrandmicahg: you're up!18:14
micahgso, I have that thunderbird regression with the empty menubar to publish today18:14
micahgmozilla has announced some of there plans for release schedules18:15
micahg3.5 is EOL (doesn't afffect us, just seamonkey will need to go to 2.1.x)18:15
micahg3.6 will have updates for the moment18:15
micahg4's security update will be 5, so we'll have to upgrade natty on june 2118:15
nxvlare we still talking about TB?18:16
micahgnxvl: no, sorry, Firefox18:16
nxvli assumed :D18:16
micahgThunderbird will stay on 3.1.x for the moment18:16
micahgnatty will be our test migration case18:16
micahgI'll be drafting a page to track what we need to do before the upgrade18:17
micahgchrisccoulson has done some awesome work to make these transitions smoother WRT language updates18:17
micahgwe'll review at the rally how the natty upgrade went and plan the other migrations (firefox for lucid/maverick and thunderbird in stable)18:18
micahgso, after drafting the initial plan, I want to try to get the pending webkit updates out18:19
micahgand I'm expecting a chromium update either this week or early next week18:20
micahgthat's it for me18:20
jdstrandmicahg: sounds great. thanks!18:20
jdstrand[TOPIC] Miscellaneous and Questions18:20
MootBotNew Topic:  Miscellaneous and Questions18:20
jdstrandjjohansen: I'll probably be talking to you later in the week re libapparmor for dbus (all I need is the api call and it to return something based on the env, like we discussed)18:22
jdstrandother than that, I don't have anything to add18:22
jjohansenjdstrand: okay, sounds good18:22

jcrigbynot really no20:10
hrwhi20:10
hrwdo we have quorum today?20:10
bdrung_yes20:10
macoyes20:11
persiajcrigby, What do you find most difficult about packaging best practices?20:11
jcrigbyremembering the incantations20:11
Laneyjcrigby: (after persia's question[s]) Can you briefly explain the major freezes in the Ubuntu development cycle and how they affect your packages?20:12
jcrigbyLaney, I am obviously unprepared for that one20:12
bdrung_jcrigby: why do we have special linaro packages in addition to the normal package (e.g. u-boot and u-boot-linaro)?20:12
jcrigbyLinaro is on its own schedule20:12
macooh, good to know20:13
jcrigbybdrung_, actually u-boot-linaro is the only u-boot now days20:13
jcrigbyubuntu uses u-boot-linaro20:13
LaneyAre these packages not subject to the Ubuntu release schedule?20:13
hrwmaco: we (Linaro) release ~month after Ubuntu20:13
jcrigbyLaney, for this oneiric Linaro is releasing monthly20:14
hrwmaco: but recently we switched most of teams to monthly releases20:14
bdrung_jcrigby: what does u-boot-linaro contain in comparison to upstream u-boot?20:14
jcrigbyLaney, and for releases after ff we will release via a ppa to avoid sru issues20:14
persiaI believe the packages *should* be subject to the release schedule, as there are images that depend upon them shipped as part of the release.20:14
macojcrigby: was that ff = feature freeze or final freeze?20:15
jcrigbymaco final20:15
jcrigbywe can do ffe's for feature freeze20:15
persiajcrigby, What considerations do you make when requesting an FFe?20:16
jcrigbyat that point I only allow bug fixes that are must haves for the release20:16
jcrigbyno new "nice" features20:17
persiaDo you maintain separate for-ubuntu and linaro-next trees for this?20:17
* cody-somerville has to jet; will write e-mail to DMB when I get back.20:17
Laneysee you20:17
jcrigbypersia, I keep -next git trees but those do not have packaging bits in them20:17
jcrigbypersia, they are for board enablement folks20:18
persiaThat makes sense.20:18
jcrigbyon the kernel side I actually do keep a work in progress (wip) tree that does have the packaging in it20:19
jcrigbythat is for people that are willing to build there own packaged kernel20:19
jcrigbyand I have tried to help people that want to do that but lack the knowledge20:19
jcrigbyI have also helped the linaro landing teams with their packagig20:20
jcrigbysince they are usually enablement people not packaging people20:20

maco"I was just trying to be clear what I was asking for, if there is a kernel package set then that is what I'm going for."  <-- what brad said when Laney asked20:33
bjfI am currently working on the stable kernel maintenance.  I've been doing stable kernel maintenance for two dev cycles and am schedule to continue doing same for another two cycles.20:34
bjfI'm applying for upload rights for the linux kernel packages.20:34
bjfI'm proud of the stable work that I've done, we've made some significant changes to the20:34
bjfstable maintenance process.20:34
bjf~20:34
bjfi'm good at cut/paste if that is a requirement :-)20:34
sconklinfwiw I've been signing Brad's packages (sponsoring his uploads) for six months, and he's fully capable20:34
LaneyCan you explain how a stable kernel update is typically QAd?20:35
LaneyAlso, does the kernel team work with Debian's at all? ;-)20:36
bjflaney, it's a multi-step process, are you familiar with the kernel cadence that we've gone to?20:36
Laneysomewhat20:36
* bdrung_ isn't.20:36
persiaPlease share20:36
bjflaney, yes, we discuss things regularly with the debian kernel folks20:36
bjfpersia, will do :-)20:36
persia(especially as ogasawara credits you with bringing order to it)20:37
sconklinhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/StableReleaseCadence20:37
bjfcurrently, we are moving to a three week cadence20:37
sconklinexcuse me pasting links20:37
bjfweek 1, we prepare kernels and upload packages (upload to the kernel team ppa)20:37
bjfweek 2, we require verification of LP bugs that have been fixed via the uploaded kernel20:38
bjfany bugs that fail verification or are not verified, the corresponding commits are reverted and new packages are uploaded20:38
bjfweek 3, the QA and Certification teams take over, and run their tests.20:38
Laneywhen does the upload to -proposed happen? what kind of interaction is there with the Ubuntu SRU team?20:39
macobjf: ever had any problems where the reverts after week 2 caused regressions, maybe due to side-effects/interactions between patches & disappearing patches?20:39
bjfthe QA tests are composed of: qbench, tbench tiobench, security tests (crafted by the security team) and some ltp lite tests20:39
Laney(and regular SRU verification)20:40
bjflaney, generally we just ping them to pocket-copy, we are changing this as well to use an LP bug for workflow, maybe sconklin can post a url for that as well :-)20:40
sconklinlooking20:41
persiabjf, pocket-copy to where?20:41
bjfmaco, yes, same proceedure, we revert the commit, roll a new package and upload20:41
bjfpersia, from our ppa to -proposed20:41
bjfmaco, once the new package has been uploaded, qa and cert testing starts again20:41
bjfmaco, this could go on for some time, however, it hasn't in the last two dev cycles20:42
* Laney is done with questions20:42
bjflaney, maco, bdrung_ persia the purpose of moving to this cadence is predictability20:42
macobjf: thanks, thats the bit i was unsure about :)20:43
bjfit was very difficult in the past to be able to give some indication of when a patch was going to get out20:43
* sconklin is unable to get launchpad qastaging to do anything other than time out20:43
sconklinthat's where our example bug is20:43
bjfas it is now, worst case (baring reversions) is 6 weeks from when a patch is accepted until it hits -updates20:43
bdrung_bjf: some packagers feel that it's hard to get their changes into the kernel due to all the rules. are there plans to change that?20:44
bjfbdrung_, no changes to the rules, we are actually quite flexible (our opinion) and will discuss changes with anyone20:44
bjfbdrung_, however, stability is crucial20:45
sconklinhere's one that doesn't have the team assignments made, but you can see how we track workflow tasks https://bugs.qastaging.launchpad.net/kernel-sru-workflow/verification-testing/+bug/71886620:45
ubottuUbuntu bug 718866 in unity-2d "[panel] Indicator list is hardcoded" [Medium,Fix released]20:45
bjfsconklin, thanks20:45
persiabjf: In your application, you seem to have skipped one of my favourite bits: What single thing in Ubuntu do you think should most be improved?20:45
bdrung_bjf: i was thinking about changes for the development version (currently oneiric).20:46
bjfpersia, thinking about it20:46
bjfbdrung_, well, we certainly prefer that we get any changes from upstream or that the changes we take are heading upstream, we are not a test kernel for everyone's crack20:47
bjfbdrung_, the larger the community, the more conservative we need to be20:47
bdrung_bjf: i can remember that i once want to push a fix from lirc into the kernel. it took me ages to do that.20:48
bjfbdrung_, we are already put out the most recent upstream kernel of any distro (i mean we track the upstream kernel the closest)20:48
bjfbdrung_, were your changes going upstream?20:48
bdrung_bjf: it was a backported upstream patch20:49
bjfbdrung_, ok, i don't know the specifics, but that usually fits within our rules, it can depend on the complexity of the backport though20:49
bdrung_i found it: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/0.8.6-0ubuntu4.120:50
bjfbdrung_, our rules are not much difference than those of upstream stable maint.20:50
bdrung_the process for the kernel felt very bureaucratic20:50
bjfbdrung_, it can be, but again, stability and no-regressions are what we are striving for20:51
sconklinThis is team policy and not Brad's. If upstream won't take it, it's very unlikely we will.20:52
bjfpersia, i still don't really know how to answer your question, there are specific parts of the distro that i'd like to see changed/influenced (like the switch to unity)20:52
macopersia: that's the part i always want to skip too20:53
bjfpersia, i also think UDS could be better in certain ways20:53
persiabjf, Well, I'd encourage you to think about it.  We know we aren't perfect, but unless we can identify what is wrong, it's hard to improve.20:54
bjfpersia, remember, i'm kind of an old fart, i like my desktop the way that it was, this new fangled stuff takes some getting used to :-)20:54
persiaOn a related note, what do you feel is your weakest skill in developing for Ubuntu?20:54
bjfand i'm resisting20:54
bjfmy first thoughts would be in interaction with the community, but i've been told that i'm not as bad as i think20:55
bdrung_bjf, sconklin: ok20:55
bjfto me, this is mostly a job and not my life20:56
bdrung_bjf: re unity - all the gnome-panel lovers could unity and maintain gnome-panel. then a user can decide between unity, gnome3, and ubuntu classic (gnome-panel)20:57
bjfbdrung_, agreed20:58

persiageser, I don't think so, really.21:08
persiabdrung_, Do you suggest we should just do it, as we have two PPUs who have the same set?21:08
stgraberIIRC the DMB was the one asking for the set when reviewing jelmer's application. List looks good to me (quite similar to an "apt-cache search bzr" and matches rights we've already given to these applying for bzr upload rights)21:08
macopersia: i'm in favour of it21:08
stgraber+121:09
persiaOK.21:09
stgraberthey are quite likely to ask for the same packages to be added to their respective PPU lists, so it's best to create a package set for it21:09

persiapsusi, So, now that you've had some time to think, what do you like least in Ubuntu?21:14
psusiI've not really been able to come up with an answer to that really... I dislike bugs21:14
persiaDo you think we could do a better job to squash bugs somehow?21:15
psusiother than more manpower?21:15

psusierr, UDD21:18
psusiyea... UDD sponsorship has become very smooth lately, especially with the patch pilot program21:18
bdrung_great to hear that21:18
macoany parts of the bug triage/squash process that you think are particularly in need of change?21:18
psusiI'm not a debian user so that would make becoming a DD a bit tricky I think21:19
macopsusi: i'm not either, but i'm going through the DM process *duck*21:19
bdrung_psusi: you don't have to be a debian user. you don't even need to be a DD for maintaining a package in debian.21:19
maco(DM is like PPU)21:20
psusiI may end up doing that eventually, but I figured I'd start with motu21:20
bdrung_psusi: it's easier to start with DM if you really care about a specific package (especially if it's new)21:20

hrwno problem21:28
hrwI got universe contributor last time21:28
hrwI maintain cross toolchain for armel and armhf architectures21:28
bdrung_hi hrw21:29
hrwarmel is present in Debian and Ubuntu, armhf is on a way to Debian and also may be added into Ubuntu. At Linaro we want armhf to e present in both distributions21:29
persiaI've seen a few complaints about our documentation in the past few days.  Anyone up for trying to dredge through it and submit a new draft?21:29
geserwhat "flavour" of ARM is armhf?21:30
persiaOK.  I'll table that for later.21:30
hrwgeser: armv7, hardfloat21:30
hrwgeser: no neon by default due to tegra221:31
ScottKHow runtime Neon detection working for Qt currently?21:31
hrwScottK: have to admit that I lost track on this - spent most time in toolchain21:32
ScottKOK.21:32
bdrung_hrw: the packages you request upload rights for doesn't seem to exist21:33
hrwbdrung_: armhf ones are same as armel ones - did not get yet uploaded21:34
hrwbdrung_: the only difference is s/armel/armhf/ in changelog and regenerataion of control file21:34
* persia recommended this list to hrw in OOB discussions, as the other packages were expected to be uploaded fairly soon, and our board isn't so fast.21:34
bdrung_hrw: i fail to find the armel ones, e.g. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.6-armel-cross21:34

hrwgeser: yes, they are separate but share 100%21:36
geserhrw: isn't it possible to build both from the same source package or is there any reason for the duplication?21:37
hrwgeser: I am in a middle of creating one source for armel/armhf of each component and merging gcc-4.[456]-*-cros into one source or source package21:37
hrwgeser: during uds-n we decided to have cross toolchain source per arch21:37
hrwgeser: as Debian ones would do 11 arch builds and what if 9th fail after 30h of building?21:38
macoouch21:38
bdrung_build time is a strong argument for separate packages21:38
hrwin Ubuntu we handle 1 arch now (m,n) and now will have 2 (oneiric)21:39
hrwDebian can have more of them.21:39
geserhrw: Debian has 11 arm flavours?21:39
bdrung_hrw: you are talking a lot about debian. will you try to upload the packages into debian first?21:39
hrwgeser: no, but emdebian team wants to replace their semi-auto built packages with mine21:40
hrwbdrung_: once will get all patches landed in Debian yes21:40
hrwbdrung_: merging all required changes into ubuntu took me half of maverick cycle21:40
hrwbdrung_: my source packages works no changes under debian and ubuntu21:41
hrwI have check on 'lsb_release -d' to take care of details21:41
hrwalso handle linaro toolchain backport ppa with same sources but thats a bit other story21:42
bdrung_hrw: do you know dpkg-vendor?21:42
hrwbdrung_: no, but will check it21:42
hrwbdrung_: trick with lsb_release I took from gcc packaging21:42
hrwduring maverick I did cleanup of gcc/binutils packaging which ended in few thousand of lines dropped21:43
bdrung_it's the preferred way to check the vendor (instead of lsb_release). advantage: no additional build dependency21:43
hrwbdrung_: ok, gcc packaging has to work under dapper so maybe thats why21:44
bdrung_hrw: yes, dpkg-vendor isn't that old21:44
* micahg thought dpkg-dev was needed for dpkg-vendor21:45
hrwyep. 2009 according to manpage21:45
hrwmicahg: I already bdepend on dpkg-dev21:45
hrwmicahg: and you are right - dpkg-vendor is dpkg-dev21:45
bdrung_micahg: build-essential depends on dpkg-dev21:46
bdrung_so you get it for free (on compile time)21:46
tumbleweeda versioned dependancy on it may be needed21:47
hrw dpkg-dev (>= 1.15.3.1) is what I need already21:47
hrwdue to components needs (binutils, linux, gcc, eglibc)21:47
persiaSo, while it's interesting to discuss ways of aligning packages between distributions, are there more questions to prepare to vote on hrw's application?21:47
hrw;)21:48
micahgbdrung_: ah, that's what it was, a higher versioned build-dep was necessary :()21:48
hrwdpkg-vendor is 1.15.121:48
