[00:04] ScottK: ah that was a previous one (which I couldn't attend either) [01:45] highvoltage: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/CC seems to be missing that one. === bacon is now known as christel [01:54] http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-meeting/2011/ too. [01:54] pleia2: Where are the minutes/logs of the CC meeting where this change in membership requirements was decided? [02:10] ScottK: there wasn't such a meeting (and there weren't any CC meetings in August), it was mostly a discussion with the boards and general reaffirmation in blog posts by several community members that upstream counts if the intent/inspiration of the work helps ubuntu and they are working closely with others in the ubuntu community [02:11] that's how it always was, I think it just became a bit unclear [02:11] How is it reaffirmation to do something we've never done? [02:11] my debian work counted when I became a member in 2007 [02:11] How many Launchpad developers got membership in Ubuntu via their work on LP? [02:11] I don't know [02:12] None. [02:12] The first one applying was one of the inspirations for the topic. [02:12] but if they're working with the community and have testimonials speaking to that then they should [02:13] If they are working with the Ubuntu community, sure, but not for code they write in Launchpad. [02:14] if you don't think the question was answered satisfactorily, can you email the CC? I can't really speak for everyone here [02:14] I'd like for someone to document what was decided. [02:14] Until that's done, there's nothing to have an opinion on. [02:15] I don't know there is much of a specific statement beyond mark's blog post that summed up the discussions [02:16] It seems very odd to have something on a CC agenda for a month and then when the next meeting rolls around have it have already been decided with no community discussion. [02:16] Every blog post Mark writes doesn't constitute policy for the project. [02:16] I'd like to know what that is. [02:16] there were multiple very long threads on the -devel list and several private discussions that led up to his post [02:17] OK. It sounds to me like not special casing Canonical the same way Congress doesn't write tax breaks for specific companies. [02:18] it's really more complicated than upstream vs non-upstream, there has to be some kind of desire to work with the wider community and improve ubuntu (even if you want to improve everything else too) [02:18] so it's very hard to write specific rules, it's more making sure the boards keep intent in mind when they review applications [02:19] Kernel hackers want to improve everything. So are they all eligible? [02:19] * pleia2 sighs [02:19] this is going to turn into the same discussion that's been hashed out several times and I don't have the time for it right now, the short answer is "it depends" [02:20] I'd like to see a policy statement that described the "it depends". [02:20] does the kernel developer handle launchpad bugs in ubuntu because they see a need to improve the experience? do they work with the ubuntu kernel team? [02:20] I know several DDs that qualify on that basis. [02:20] ok, I'll write the email to the rest of the CC asking for such a statement [02:21] Thanks. === noy_ is now known as noy === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson === doko_ is now known as doko [11:04] jelmer_: hi. i saw poolie is not feeling well. do we have enough people for a meeting today? [11:04] barry: jam is sprinting so he probably won't be around either [11:05] jelmer_: so, let's just postpone it for 2 weeks. we can continue to discuss on the mlist [11:05] hi jacob [11:05] sorry, jacob [11:05] barry: ok [11:06] jelmer_: just to leave you on a high note, i *love* the new status output for branching a source branch [11:06] barry: Thanks. it's all jam, though :) [11:06] :) === Ursinha-afk is now known as Ursinha [13:18] ScottK: I think you're right, proposed changes in membership should be documented and there should be some opportunity for feedback. I'm not sure where it was discussed by the CC. I was under the impression that it was at a CC meeting, but that doesn't seem to be the case [14:19] highvoltage: No, it turns out it was in private. [14:19] I've asked the CC for some policy statement so we can at least know what they decided. [14:21] ScottK: Ok, I'm not sure that any decisions have been layed in stone though. As far as I'm aware it's an ongoing process. [14:23] I'd like to understand where the CC is on it because my assessment of the results of their conversation are that they decided to not make any changes, but also to do the opposite of what we've done. Hence I'd like to understand their position better. [14:24] Considering people who have to make such decisions (I'm one of them on Kubuntu Council) are unclear on the rule, I think the need for some kind of documentation is clear. [14:32] ScottK: Indeed, I can understand why the CC would want to discuss it in private initially, but I can't find any public communication about it from the CC. Will do something about that today... [14:33] I already talked to one of the CC members and they said they'd write the CC list and ask for a public statement. [14:33] I don't think further action is needed right now. [14:35] Ok, if someone is already taking care of it then that's great. I'll wait until next week then before nudging anyone.

[15:09] Uploaded a few grub2 fixes and a Debian merge (bdmurray, one of the things fixed here was bug 537123 - a Debian developer noticed a problem in the previous fix which I think accounts for something you were asking me about at the rally).

[15:11] [TOPIC] Bugs === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Bugs [15:11] bdmurray: anything we should be paying attention to this week? [15:11] I was looking at usb-creator bugs a bit as it made the 5 packages [15:12] and I ran across bug 826716 which seems rather important [15:12] Launchpad bug 826716 in usb-creator (Ubuntu) "error "uncaught exception", "no such file or directory" creating persistent usb key" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/826716 [15:13] wibni the oserror included the file name? [15:13] I "think" I got that bug at the global jam on Sunday. Ended up just dding the ISO image to the usb stick ;) [15:14] bleh, my line numbers don't match [15:15] I don't get it, why would mkfs.ext3 not be there? [15:15] missing /sbin in PATH maybe? [15:16] I guess usb-creator could force /sbin:/usr/sbin onto the PATH [15:16] oh, I've personally ran into some /sbin not in path issues [15:16] that suggests a problem elsewhere; /sbin is supposed to have been on everyone's default PATH for years now [15:16] at least in Ubuntu [15:17] usb-creator probably ought not to assume that anyway [15:17] I'm pretty tempted to blame something desktopy [15:17] right this happened to me somewhat recently on an oneiric system [15:17] ps auxewww plus a lot of patience can help to track down the root of such problems [15:18] cjwatson: did you mean blame something desktopy for messing up PATH? [15:18] yeah, because the thing that opens the PAM session is supposed to deal with this, and that's probably lightdm [15:19] I can't see a problem here, but my .bashrc has been adding /sbin and /usr/sbin to PATH for a decade or so which probably masks it [15:19] if I ssh to localhost PATH is properly set [15:19] ssh does its own PAM handling which gets this right [15:20] look for the gnome-session process and see what its PATH is [15:20] (in ps auxewww) [15:20] The switch to lightdm broke my path at some point. Though I think that got fixed [15:20] I'm using gdm on both the systems I just looked at [15:20] anyway, I'll volunteer to fix usb-creator to tolerate this [15:20] (but at the same time my .bashrc still contains ". /etc/environment" so I wouldn't notice ;)) [15:20] assigned/milestoned [15:21] There is also bug 818177 which seems to be missing some info from apw [15:21] Launchpad bug 818177 in udev (Ubuntu) "HP DL380G5 root disk mounted read-only on boot and boot fails" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/818177 [15:21] not volunteering for that [15:21] heh [15:22] though I agree with Steve, simply moving the race isn't a solution [15:23] Is having it assigned to the team sufficient? [15:23] I think somebody needs to take it and discuss with upstream [15:24] I started to look into this, but couldn't recreate the prob. [15:25] I'll ping apw (at Plumbers I think) re the further info and see what we can find. [15:25] mm, being a race it may be difficult to reproduce directly; a reproduction case would involve getting a udev event into the queue, making sure it isn't processed before udevadm control --exit, and then checking that the event is processed somehow [15:26] I suppose flooding udev with events just before the control --exit might do it [15:26] err - checking that the event is lost, I mean [15:26] the udev_exit case in udevd.c does: [15:26] /* discard queued events and kill workers */ [15:26] event_queue_cleanup(udev, EVENT_QUEUED); [15:26] worker_kill(udev, 0); [15:27] which is probably fine if udevd has been SIGTERMed, but shouldn't it be a bit more careful in the control --exit case (i.e. graceful exit)? [15:28] also I'm surprised that udev in the real root doesn't catch up with the lost events [15:29] perhaps we assume that the device for the real root exists by the end of the initramfs [15:30] jhunt: anyway, I think you're closest to this; can I assign it to you for the time being, and you can see what you and apw can work out? feel free to ask me for ideas for debugging methods if need be [15:30] cjwatson: count on my calling on you at some point :-) [15:31] finally there is bug 835625 which steve seems to be watching [15:31] yep; it's a messy one, not expecting anything immediately [15:31] Launchpad bug 835625 in apt (Ubuntu Oneiric) "apt may try to unpack a foreign-arch multiarch library before the native package is at a multiarch version, prohibited by dpkg" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/835625 [15:31] however it is milestoned and unassigned [15:32] yes, I think that's best left to Steve; I'll assign him for the time being [15:32] okay, that's all I've got [15:33] OK, thank you [15:33] [TOPIC] AOB === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: AOB [15:33] anything else?
