| broder | tumbleweed: i got back to my room and gave up on udd. when i rewrote the backport security/sru checker script in launchpadlib, it took me about 30 minutes and runs in 11 :) | 12:48 |

| kees | broder: source or it didn't happen! ;) | 13:41 |
| broder | kees: http://paste.ubuntu.com/727242/ | 13:41 |
| broder | i'm working on reformatting it to feed the output into harvest | 13:42 |
| broder | Laney: do you know why DEP-8 doesn't add any fields to the .dsc file? | 13:54 |
| Laney | dude | 13:55 |
| Laney | I had never even looked at that page before this session | 13:55 |
| tumbleweed | angelabad: congrats :P | 20:26 |
| angelabad | tumbleweed, thanks! finally... :-D | 20:28 |
| jdstrand | broder: re backport security/sru checker> oh! excellent, can you ping me when you start using it regularly? | 20:31 |
| * jdstrand hugs broder :) | 20:31 | |
| tumbleweed | jdstrand: he made that my problem... next on my todo list | 20:32 |
| micahg | heh | 20:32 |
| * jdstrand hugs tumbleweed instead of broder | 20:33 | |
| jdstrand | broder: ;) | 20:33 |
| jdstrand | tumbleweed: thanks! | 20:33 |
| ajmitch | lucky you | 20:33 |
| jdstrand | tumbleweed: so, would you mind pinging me when the backporters start using it regularly? | 20:33 |
| tumbleweed | jdstrand: I won't know that, but I can tell you when it's up | 20:46 |

| jdstrand | tumbleweed: that would be great. thanks again | 20:59 |
| broder | jdstrand: did you see the preliminary output? it doesn't look like there are very many things that need to be re-backported | 21:11 |
| broder | (i've cleaned up some of the false positives since that edition of the code, but i don't think i've found any false negatives) | 21:12 |
| broder | and of the packages listed, quassel and clamav have already been handled, so that just leaves libvirt (jaunty->hardy), pidgin (intrepid->hardy), and tomcat6 (intrepid->hardy) | 21:14 |
| broder | and i think all of those will require some policy discussion from backports | 21:14 |
| micahg | broder: any desktop backports for hardy can be ignored | 21:23 |
| broder | ok, so we don't need to worry about pidgin, but we do need an answer for tomcat and libvirt | 21:24 |
| broder | given that they were backported from releases which are now desupported, i don't know what the right answer is. as a straw man, i propose reviving the security/SRU packages from the desupported releases as being no worse than what's in backports currently | 21:26 |
| micahg | right, you could also try to backport fixes from lucid if appropriate (or apply ones from hardy as appropriate) | 21:27 |
| broder | i'm concerned that creates more friction than is necessary | 21:27 |
| broder | i should probably check my backport-helper script and see if it will even agree to backport from a dead release... | 21:29 |
| micahg | well, if want the backport properly patched, it would be necessary, if you want the path of least resistance, then you could just take what was done before | 21:29 |
| broder | backports doesn't provide security support. we shouldn't get into the business of backporting security updates that aren't directly derived from the package that was originally backported | 21:30 |
| broder | tracking security/SRUs is already stretching that a good degree from what we've done traditionally | 21:30 |
| broder | valid_series = set(s.name for s in lp.distributions['ubuntu'].series if s.active)> bah. too clever for my own good | 21:31 |
| micahg | right, it depends how much effort you want to put into it :) | 21:37 |
| micahg | I'd suggest showing them (maybe aggregated at the bottom), but flagging that they need extra patches from elsewhere (possibly surrounding supported releases) | 21:38 |
| micahg | *might need | 21:38 |
| broder | i'll leave them in the report. i'm planning to just spit out a machine-readable report and slurp that into harvest, and we can hide the ones we don't care about solving there | 21:42 |
