infinity | The first graph seems more broken than I remember it. | 15:12 |
ogra_ | hmm, i still have to update the WI tracker code to pick up the new name | 15:13 |
* NCommander coughs a lng up | 15:13 | |
NCommander | *lung | 15:13 |
ogra_ | i guess that causes the weird graphs ... bear with me, its on my todo for after mx5 and ac100 have landed | 15:13 |
ogra_ | NCommander, do you remember any action items from last week ? (there was no wikipage and i dont remember them) | 15:14 |
NCommander | ogra_: there's a wikipage, I sent the link out in the reminder email | 15:14 |

=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: ARM Server Status (NCommander, Daviey) | ||
meetingology | TOPIC: ARM Server Status (NCommander, Daviey) | 15:15 |
NCommander | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Meeting/2011/20110811 | 15:15 |
ogra_ | oh whay is that arm now | 15:15 |
ogra_ | the others are all at /MobileTeam/Meeting/ | 15:15 |
NCommander | Because all the wiki pages were rearranged | 15:15 |
ogra_ | up to last week | 15:15 |
ogra_ | k | 15:16 |
ogra_ | anyway, how is the server looking ? | 15:16 |
NCommander | Server images themselves work pretty well, though I found a bug that occurs duringnetwork setup if you don't have internet access | 15:17 |
infinity | That's unique to ARM? | 15:17 |
ogra_ | how was the LCX summit wrt arm stuff ? | 15:17 |
ogra_ | *LXC | 15:17 |
NCommander | LXC is semi-foobared on omap4 due to kernel configuration issues, but a new kernel was uploaded yesterday to help to resolve it | 15:17 |
NCommander | I'll be confirming LXC works out of the box when I can stop hacking up a lung | 15:17 |
ogra_ | funny that these werent taken over from .38 | 15:17 |
ogra_ | iirc all these options were enabled in .38 already | 15:18 |
infinity | ogra_: .38 had the same missing bits. | 15:18 |
ogra_ | ah, k | 15:18 |
ogra_ | just because the USER_NS bug was fix released already | 15:18 |
ogra_ | anything else for server ? | 15:19 |

meetingology | TOPIC: Kernel Status (cooloney, ppisati) | 15:20 |
ogra_ | neither is here | 15:20 |
ogra_ | anyone else got something for kernel (apart from the above wrt server) | 15:20 |
janimo | should upload the linaro mx kernel today | 15:20 |
janimo | sponsor it for linaro | 15:21 |
ogra_ | mahmoh is constantly cpmplaining that we have no omap4 srever flavour | 15:21 |
GrueMaster | I ran into a snag with ipsec because of missing kernel bits. | 15:21 |
GrueMaster | Should be fixed with latest kernel upload. | 15:21 |
ogra_ | yeah | 15:21 |
infinity | I'm not convinced we need a -server kernel for a product that's essential a proof-of-concept, but... | 15:22 |
ogra_ | davidm, do we have any plans to make kernel teams life harder this release with an -omap4-server kernel ? | 15:22 |
GrueMaster | If omap4 were a server product, I would see where having a server kernel would be nice. | 15:22 |
ogra_ | infinity, i agree | 15:22 |
davidm | ogra_, I do not have any such plans | 15:22 |
ogra_ | good :) | 15:22 |

=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: ARM Porting/FTBFS status (NCommander, janimo) | ||
meetingology | TOPIC: ARM Porting/FTBFS status (NCommander, janimo) | 15:23 |
ogra_ | the ftbfs list looks awful | 15:23 |
janimo | nothing to report aside from the occasional givebacks to LP | 15:23 |
ogra_ | i nearly fell off my chair today when i checked it | 15:23 |
janimo | ogra_, hmm it seemed to me it was usual | 15:23 |
* janimo checks again | 15:23 | |
infinity | Yeah, now that we're (well, sometime today) in FeatureFreeze, I'm jumping into FTBFS head-first. | 15:23 |
ogra_ | wasnt someone looking into ocaml three weeks ago ? | 15:23 |
janimo | more than one person. NCommander and linaro gcc folk | 15:24 |
infinity | NCommander was poking ocaml with a pointy stick. | 15:24 |
infinity | And if/when that gets fixed, we can clean up a lot of our mess. | 15:24 |
ogra_ | might have left some holes ... but no fix :) | 15:24 |
ogra_ | right | 15:24 |
janimo | emacs is not ARM specific but just happened to be a timing issue, likewise is server team. libvirt is new FTBFS | 15:25 |
NCommander | I made some progress with ocaml but no fix | 15:25 |
ogra_ | yeah, and libvirt is weird | 15:25 |
janimo | any progress with the panda cluster? That would also clean up the list quite a bit | 15:25 |
ogra_ | cjwatson came by in #ubuntu-arm asking about it ... i tried a local build and that fails in even earlier tests | 15:25 |
ogra_ | so another pair of eyes on libvirt would be appreciated | 15:26 |
janimo | ogra_, I'll take a look at libvirt if noone else got it | 15:26 |
ogra_ | and probably a build with the last change rolled back to see if its introduced through that (which i think is unlikely) | 15:26 |

ogra_ | [topic] ARM Image Status (ogra, NCommander) | 15:27 |
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: ARM Image Status (ogra, NCommander) | ||
meetingology | TOPIC: ARM Image Status (ogra, NCommander) | 15:27 |
ogra_ | awful ! | 15:27 |
ogra_ | the livefs builders committed suicide, x86 had livecd-rootfs removed and the archive is totally out of sync | 15:28 |
davidm | Ouch | 15:28 |
infinity | Yeah, the word of the day is "special". | 15:29 |
ogra_ | i was (trying to) working on the ac100 iamges ssince monday but instead of coding i'm actiually fighting the archive churn | 15:29 |
infinity | But none of the special is ARM-specific. | 15:29 |
NCommander | least A3 was last week | 15:29 |
ogra_ | infinity, the chrun is ports specific as usual | 15:29 |
cjwatson | livecd-rootfs has been put back, FWIW, and measures taken to stop that happening again | 15:29 |
ogra_ | and it gets really annoying that i have to spend three days on the archive to actually be able to produce 1-2h of code work | 15:30 |
GrueMaster | That might explain why my mirror decided to puke. | 15:30 |
infinity | ogra_: Well, the unity churn was an issue (and I smacked that until it got fixed), but the ubuntu-one screwup was out of our hands, for instance. And the livecd-rootfs thing. | 15:30 |
cjwatson | I'm afraid to say that *somebody* has to spend that time on the archive at some point or stuff doesn't get fixed, in aggregate ... | 15:30 |
ogra_ | infinity, well, the ubuntuone breakage was fixed with a seed change and meta upload | 15:31 |
ogra_ | i was just to frustrated yesterday to actually do it, but it should be solved now | 15:31 |
infinity | ogra_: Oh, they don't intend to reintroduce the gnome client? The changelog seemed to indicate differently. | 15:31 |
infinity | Grr. | 15:31 |
ogra_ | i dont care | 15:31 |
infinity | cjwatson: *nod* | 15:31 |
ogra_ | if it comes back i'll happily seed it again | 15:31 |
cjwatson | FWIW you didn't actually have to change the seeds - rebuilding ubuntu-meta would have sufficed | 15:32 |
ogra_ | but really, we need to get that archive skew thing fixed, thats why i'm moaning | 15:32 |
cjwatson | and that would mean it would automatically revert if the package is reintroduced | 15:32 |
infinity | cjwatson: Rebuilding meta would have dropped ubuntuone entirely, if it was being pulled in by the non-existant package. | 15:32 |
ogra_ | indeed | 15:32 |
cjwatson | true | 15:32 |
cjwatson | but ogra's seed change was *only* to comment out ubuntuone-client-gnome | 15:33 |
infinity | Oh. :) | 15:33 |
ogra_ | anyway, i think we are burning lots of manhours fighting the archive issues every release ... just felt like mentioning it once again | 15:33 |
infinity | Yeah, I didn't look. | 15:33 |
cjwatson | for future reference rebuilding ubuntu-meta would've been enough | 15:33 |
infinity | ogra_: Now that we're past FF, I'll be keeping a closer eye on archive stuff for us. | 15:34 |
infinity | Well, almost past. Whatever. | 15:34 |
ogra_ | infinity, and how would that help ? | 15:34 |
* infinity looks at a clock. | 15:34 | |
ogra_ | you cant remove the sync issues | 15:34 |
infinity | ogra_: Because catching things as they're a problem is much better than letting them stack up for two days and become an unresolvable mess? | 15:34 |
ogra_ | sure, but thats just curing the symptoms (as we do since 3 years) | 15:35 |
ogra_ | anyway | 15:35 |
ogra_ | lets move | 15:35 |
ogra_ | unless anyone else has something for image | 15:35 |

=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: QA Status (GrueMaster) | ||
meetingology | TOPIC: QA Status (GrueMaster) | 15:35 |
GrueMaster | Landscape testing works well. Running the qa entropy script now, expect results in two weeks. | 15:36 |
ogra_ | heh | 15:36 |
infinity | Plug in a keyboard and hire a cat to walk on it. | 15:36 |
GrueMaster | My mirror is slowly being rebuilt, so until it finishes I can't do much automation. | 15:36 |
janimo | so much entropy from that rsync activity going to waste | 15:37 |
GrueMaster | The entropy test is a server workitem. | 15:37 |
GrueMaster | Will look into iSCSI or LAVA today. Haven't decided which will be more exciting. | 15:38 |
GrueMaster | Especially given that I can't reimage with netinstall atm. | 15:38 |
GrueMaster | Nothing else to report. | 15:39 |
ogra_ | any questions ? else i'll move to AOB | 15:39 |

ogra_ | [topic] AOB | 15:40 |
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: AOB | ||
meetingology | TOPIC: AOB | 15:40 |
ogra_ | so seeing #linaro there are some changes ahead for us | 15:40 |
ogra_ | seems x-loader gets dropped | 15:40 |
janimo | from where? | 15:40 |
ogra_ | which means we need to adjust the image builders | 15:40 |
ogra_ | janimo, by linaro | 15:41 |
janimo | can omap boot without it? | 15:41 |
GrueMaster | What are they replacing it with? | 15:41 |
ogra_ | they roll a u-boot that can run without x-loader | 15:41 |
GrueMaster | ah | 15:41 |
ogra_ | see #linaro for further info ... | 15:41 |
janimo | getting rid of software wothout losing features is good | 15:41 |
ogra_ | i just felt that fits into AOB :) | 15:41 |
janimo | first time I hear about it | 15:41 |
ogra_ | me too | 15:41 |
ogra_ | just wanted to mention that debian-cd will need adjustment | 15:42 |
ogra_ | and jasper probably too | 15:42 |
GrueMaster | It will be interesting to see if it works. | 15:42 |
ogra_ | thats all from my side | 15:42 |
janimo | ah getting rid of the debian package for xloader | 15:42 |
janimo | but still need MLO on the disk | 15:42 |
GrueMaster | Considering the 2nd stage needs to fit in 64k and u-boot is 227k. | 15:42 |
janimo | I was hoping they found a way to not use a bootloader to load a bootloader to load a bootloader as now | 15:42 |
ogra_ | there is a solution | 15:43 |
ogra_ | you can add a binary header to the u-boot binary | 15:43 |
GrueMaster | Oh. They're combining x-loader & u-boot into one package with 2 binaries? Make sense. | 15:43 |
ogra_ | there are some docs on omappedia about that | 15:43 |
ogra_ | anyway, no need to discuss details in the meeting, we just need to make the builder changes at the same time the package change | 15:44 |
ogra_ | and it looks like that will happen after FF | 15:44 |
janimo | are they planning it in the oneiric timeframe? | 15:44 |
janimo | ok | 15:44 |
ogra_ | yeah | 15:44 |
ogra_ | there was talk about an FFe | 15:44 |
ogra_ | anything else ? | 15:44 |
ogra_ | . | 15:44 |
ogra_ | . | 15:44 |
ogra_ | . | 15:44 |
janimo | interesting conqequences of having 6 months vs 1 month release cycles project working on similar things :) | 15:45 |
ogra_ | heh, yeah | 15:45 |
ogra_ | going once | 15:45 |
ogra_ | twice .... | 15:45 |

ogra_ | yep :) | 15:54 |

mdz | it was just updated today with the changes discussed | 18:10 |
cjwatson | some of the rules are unnecessary (we already have transitive closure rules for the components of the Ubuntu archive proper), but no matter | 18:10 |
mdz | is anyone NOT prepared to vote on it today? | 18:11 |
cjwatson | I'm happy that the set of differences are proportionate to what these repositories need, and that they aren't unreasonably hard for archive admins to enforce | 18:11 |
cjwatson | if approved, it should be linked from the archive admin docs and archive admins should be made aware of it | 18:11 |
kees | I'm happy with it. I'd love to see a "nice to have" area (e.g. "built with ubuntu's compiler"), but I don't think there is really a place for that | 18:12 |

Keybuk | [TOPIC] AOB? | 18:14 |
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: AOB? | ||
meetingology | TOPIC: AOB? | 18:14 |
cjwatson | I have one small item | 18:15 |
Keybuk | cjwatson: go for it | 18:15 |
cjwatson | I'm also checking with Mark in his capacity as my employer, but figured I'd ask the board as well | 18:15 |
cjwatson | at DebConf, Stefano and Bdale asked if I'd like to serve on the Debian Technical Committee | 18:15 |
cjwatson | I'm minded to accept, but would like to check that nobody on the TB feels this is any kind of conflict | 18:16 |
mdz | do you anticipate the tech-ctte becoming more active? | 18:16 |
mdz | hmm, looking at the archives, maybe it already is | 18:17 |
kees | I have trouble imagining a direct conflict. seems like it would be bebficial. might be more work than expected since we sometimes move items from here to tech-ctte | 18:17 |
cjwatson | it's active in the sense that it responds in a reasonably timely fashion nowadays | 18:17 |
kees | *beneficial | 18:17 |
mdz | I could imagine situations where you would want to abstain from certain decisions in either role | 18:18 |
cjwatson | there are limits to how active it can be in some senses since its role is laid down in the Debian constitution; for example the constitution says that it does not do technical design | 18:18 |
mdz | but no conflict of interest in occpying it | 18:18 |
Keybuk | speaking as somebody who serves in a technical capacity on two competing Linux distributions already, I don't see a conflict | 18:18 |
kees | true, but I think that almost stems more from being a dev than a board member | 18:18 |
cjwatson | but Bdale did say he was looking for somebody who would be able to help drive discussions forward, and a wider range of experience | 18:19 |
cjwatson | I think the activity level of the TC is such that I can manage that | 18:19 |
cjwatson | there was some discussion at DebConf, so interested people may like to review the video of that session | 18:20 |
Keybuk | cjwatson: though I do worry that when you do burnout from taking on too much, the resulting explosion could end all life on this planet | 18:20 |
cjwatson | I agree that there are cases where abstentions would be needed, although I haven't seen any such in recent activity | 18:20 |
kees | how do people get onto the TC? appointment? | 18:20 |
cjwatson | appointment by DPL + existing TC | 18:21 |
kees | yeah, I'd say go for it as long as you don't think you'll be spread too thin | 18:22 |
cjwatson | at the very least I must admit it's gratifying to be asked :) | 18:22 |
mdz | +1 | 18:22 |
cjwatson | so ok, thanks for the feedback folks, I'll try to get hold of Mark once he's back from his travels | 18:22 |
Keybuk | great | 18:22 |
Keybuk | mdz: I believe you're next chair in alphabetical rotation? | 18:23 |
* mdz nods | 18:23 | |
Keybuk | great | 18:24 |
Keybuk | then if there's nothing else ... | 18:24 |
mdz | Keybuk, agenda will be empty following this meeting, yes? | 18:24 |
Keybuk | mdz: it will, but I still can't edit the wiki, so if you could clear it ... | 18:24 |
mdz | I think that's our first "zero moment" in a while | 18:24 |
mdz | so, yay | 18:24 |
mdz | cjwatson, do you need help with the brainstorm review? | 18:25 |
mdz | unfortunately I can't offer myself at present | 18:25 |
cjwatson | no, I just had to put a lot of stuff on hold while away in the Balkans | 18:25 |
Keybuk | #endmeeting | 18:25 |
