cjwatsonopening precise; lots of syncs, merges, NEW processing, build fixes, ...15:02
cjwatsonmain needs-merge graph looks really good so far, thanks to everyone who's been working on that15:02
cjwatsonconcentrating on the libjpeg transition, since that's big and caused several failures; also trying to keep on top of Pre-Depends additions for xz-compressed binary packages15:02
cjwatsonlooking into optimising cron.germinate; seems to be at least 7 minutes of room for improvement here; LP a bit non-committal on whether this would let us run the publisher */30, but might be possible15:02
cjwatsonfurther optimisation of cdimage mirroring; now under 10 seconds for a no-op sync, and down to sensible times when we actually have to mirror anything15:02
cjwatson+1 maintenance team proposal15:02

evtranslated - it overrides translate_widget adn does the lookups itself15:09
mvoI assume you use a fake language like "mirror" or something that can be "auto-translated"? or how does it work?15:09
cjwatsonI'd call that translateable I think, but OK, good :)15:09

jhunt849414 / bug 553745. Still unable to create. Reason this problem "comes15:16

slangasek861268 - eep15:19
cjwatsonslangasek: not to minimise doko's work, certainly, though some of the component-mismatches stuff was because I'd been a bit too hasty in telling it to look at armhf15:21
slangasekcjwatson: ah15:21
cjwatsonturning that back off avoided some of the insanity, after doko pointed it out to me earlier today15:21
dokowell, still ~30 -perl left, and ~25 -java (resolved by jamespage)15:22
slangasekbdmurray: could we have http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/foundations-bugs/foundations-bugs-next-milestone-important-bug-tasks.html pointed at oneiric-updates for a bit?15:22
dokobut it's indeed understandable again15:22
dokopeople really should get an email, when a package enters into dep-wait15:23
bdmurrayslangasek: sure15:23
cjwatsondoko: are you dealing with promotions as you go along, or should I be watching the mir-track list?15:23
slangasekbdmurray: thanks!15:23
slangasekdoko: does that not happen?  I thought it did15:23
dokocjwatson, yes doint so15:23
dokoslangasek, did you see one for your cron merge? ;-P15:23
cjwatsondoko: great, thanks15:23
slangasekdoko: I saw mail for it, but that might be just because I receive the component-mismatches diffs! :D15:23

=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Bugs
slangasekbdmurray: any interesting bugs popping out of the woodwork post-release?15:26
bdmurrayslangasek: this report has quite a few on it http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/foundations-bugs/foundations-bugs-recently-important-bug-tasks.html15:27
bdmurraybug 836378 for example15:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 836378 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "Oneiric upgrade, boot hangs at error: symbol not found: grub_divmod64_full" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/83637815:28

cjwatsonbdmurray: yet another case of misconfiguration, not new15:29
slangasekcjwatson: you have a bucket for that bug then?15:29
cjwatsonbasically *every* "symbol not found" error in grub2 is a local misconfiguration15:29
cjwatsonI'll reply to it15:29
slangasekheh, I guess those would be hard to bugpattern15:30
cjwatsonyep15:30
slangaseksince they tend to be filed by hand15:30
bdmurraywell the bug bot could do something though15:30
=== beuno is now known as beuno-lunch
slangasekcjwatson: can you work with bdmurray to figure out what the bug bot should do?15:31
slangasekbug #877194 looks like a system that hasn't been properly upgraded to natty in the first place..15:33
cjwatsonI guess15:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 877194 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "do-release-upgrade in console to oneric fails: SystemError: E:Could not perform immediate configuration on 'multiarch-support'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/87719415:33
cjwatsonI don't know if I'm comfortable with them being auto-closed though15:33
cjwatsonI think people would prefer to interact with a human here rather than a bot15:34
slangasekcjwatson: your call15:34
evjust auto mark them as incomplete, then it doesn't have to be on your conscious when they're closed ;)15:34
bdmurraycjwatson: I don't think closing is necessary but giving people some direction to head in or tagging the bugs so they can be dealt with in batches may help15:34
cjwatsonhow about tagging any grub2 bug whose summary matches "symbol not found" as grub-modules-skew, then?15:36
bdmurraythat sounds fine to me15:36
cjwatsonand maybe ask for the output of 'sudo debconf-show grub-pc | grep install_devices'15:37
slangasekwhat about bugs on grub1 (which is where this one was filed)?15:37
slangasekthere's also bug #858122 which is a major pain for upgrading... we really need to deploy some workaround for these users that have had insserv run on their systems against their will.  someone want to volunteer to look at that?15:38
ubottuLaunchpad bug 858122 in Release Notes for Ubuntu "incomplete migration to /run (shutdown script order has been demolished)" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/85812215:38
bdmurrayslangasek: might there be duplicates of that bug lying around / hidden elsewhere?15:39
slangasekcertainly15:39
bdmurrayand what would I look for?15:40
slangasekprobably not easily autodetectable15:40
cjwatsongrub(1)> yes15:40
cjwatsonI've followed up to bug 836378 now with detailed explanation/directions, and marked it invalid15:40

mvoI haven't looked at all yet into 858122 but if noone else will I can give it a go15:40
slangasekbdmurray: well, if you can figure out a search term that matches "user rebooted after upgrade and their system didn't come up because dbus was missing and replacing /var/run with a symlink fixed it"... :)15:40
slangasekmvo: appreciate it!15:41
slangasekmvo: fwiw, I think the most appropriate workaround here is probably to shove the standard symlinks in /etc/rc6.d back to their intended sequence numbers by hand on upgrade15:41
slangasekso that, y'know, sendsigs, unmount, and reboot all happen in the intended order :P15:42
slangasekif we fix *that*, the migrate-on-shutdown code should Just Work15:42
mvoslangasek: heh,  that makes sense :)15:42
slangasekwe also need some fix for insserv itself breaking things, though :/15:43
slangaseknot sure what kind of fix would be SRUable there... I almost want to move insserv off the path, or make it a no-op15:43
slangasekmvo: anyway, you can have a look and see what you think :)15:44
slangasekany other bugs that aren't getting the attention they need?15:44
