pitti | doko_: I've been running with the PPA libc6 packages for a week (since you asked), and no problems so far; but yesterday the gdk-pixbuf package trigger started crashing, causing lightdm and desktop session to go totally black | 05:07 |

pitti | doko_: backtrace is not very helpful, though :( http://paste.ubuntu.com/810009/ | 05:08 |
pitti | doko_: does that work for you? | 05:08 |
poolie | pitti, hi, thanks for the review and comments | 05:39 |
pitti | poolie: my pleasure :) thanks for the improvement | 05:39 |
poolie | pitti, i may well be confused, but i thought that if apport was enabled, you did not get regular core files | 05:39 |
poolie | even with ulimit -c unlimited | 05:39 |
pitti | you do | 05:41 |
pitti | apport writes them for you | 05:41 |
pitti | it's not supposed to break that, as core files are quite useful for developers | 05:41 |
pitti | poolie: I have half a dozen test cases to make sure that this works | 05:41 |
poolie | ok, good for you | 05:41 |
pitti | doesn't it for you? | 05:42 |
poolie | people were complaining to me that they didn't get core files | 05:42 |
pitti | $ ulimit -c unlimited; sh -c 'kill -SEGV $$'; file core | 05:42 |
pitti | Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben) | 05:42 |
pitti | core: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, from 'sh -c kill -SEGV $$' | 05:42 |
poolie | <3 deutsche :) | 05:43 |
pitti | ah, sorry | 05:43 |
poolie | no it's ok it's awesome | 05:43 |
poolie | i know what you mean | 05:43 |
pitti | it's the usual "segfault" | 05:43 |
poolie | it seems like apport will not overwrite an existing core file, but the default kernel behaviour will | 05:44 |
poolie | could that be true? | 05:44 |
pitti | no, the kernel doesn't | 05:46 |
pitti | it mimics kernel behavior pretty closely | 05:46 |
pitti | well, at least that was the case a few years ago when I wrote that stuff | 05:46 |
pitti | but overwriting existing files sounds a bit evil | 05:46 |
pitti | let me try | 05:46 |
poolie | istr overwriting was the default in the past | 05:47 |
pitti | oh, indeed it does | 05:47 |
poolie | that's why i used to customize it to core.$pid | 05:47 |
pitti | interesting, so apport should do the same then | 05:48 |
poolie | i think so | 05:48 |
poolie | shall i file a separate bug about that? | 05:48 |
poolie | wanting noise on stderr would then be invalid | 05:49 |
pitti | hah, bug 160999 | 05:49 |
ubottu | Launchpad bug 160999 in apport (Ubuntu) "Apport doesn't conform to core(5)" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/160999 | 05:49 |
poolie | it's already questionable | 05:49 |
pitti | poolie: yeah, let's invalidate the other one then, and point to ^ | 05:49 |
pitti | I'll fix that one now, easy thing | 05:49 |
poolie | if you are not using nofollow that's a bit of a security risk | 05:49 |
poolie | istr in fact this was exploitable on some old kernels | 05:50 |
poolie | but that may have been fixed separately | 05:50 |
pitti | hm, good point; is there a race free method of replacing an existing file? | 05:50 |
pitti | it currently uses os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREAT|os.O_EXCL which is race free and secure for new files | 05:51 |
poolie | well, like Gerald says there, i think you want O_NOFOLLOW but not O_EXCL | 05:52 |
pitti | so I guess it'd need to write a core.RANDOMJUNK and rename it to "core" | 05:52 |
poolie | hm | 05:52 |
poolie | yeah, races if two write at once... | 05:52 |
poolie | ooh | 05:53 |
poolie | the other checks in http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.26.3/fs/exec.c#L1749 probably need to be copied too | 05:53 |
poolie | l1766 | 05:53 |
pitti | ok, will queue this up for later then, not a 5-minute fix | 05:54 |
poolie | maybe you should write a random file and rename it | 05:54 |
poolie | the kernel doesn't seem to care (at least in 2.6) if it gets corrupted by concurrent crashes | 05:54 |
poolie | ok, that's fine with me to leave it as a known bug | 05:56 |
poolie | thanks for helping me understand it | 05:56 |
poolie | pitti, i wonder if we should mention that a core file is still written in apport-bug | 06:01 |
pitti | poolie: well, apport-bug is not really an interface for crashes.. | 06:01 |
pitti | "man core" is meant to be that documentation | 06:01 |
pitti | even the previous /var/crash/ is a bit out of place there, but I merged it because you can use apport-bug to report existing .crash files | 06:02 |
poolie | i guess the text i added is not wrong | 06:02 |
poolie | right, possibly there should be an overall 'man apport' | 06:03 |
poolie | anyhow, i think that's enough for now | 06:03 |
poolie | thanks | 06:03 |
pitti | but apport itself does nothing with core files | 06:03 |
pitti | yeah, perhaps; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport could be condensed into a manpage | 06:03 |

* SpamapS heads to bed | 09:45 | |
pitti | SpamapS: great, I'll review the queue in a bit when they get diffy | 09:45 |
mvo | janimo: yes, hold on a sec I look for a example | 09:46 |
mvo | janimo: pkgname.install.$arch should work | 09:52 |
janimo | mvo, thanks a lot. hug :) | 09:52 |
mvo | yw! | 09:52 |
janimo | that looks like the approach with symbols files, I just never saw examples and googling was unsuccessful | 09:53 |
janimo | still a control file like approach would have been more powerful (ex: usr/lib/file/to/install [!armel !armhf] | 09:54 |
mvo | janimo: yeah, its a bit odd its not documented in the man page either, worth addding I guess | 09:54 |
janimo | as I am looking to exclude some files | 09:54 |
cjwatson | It is documented in debhelper(7) under "DEBHELPER CONFIG FILES" | 09:56 |
cjwatson | Since it applies to debhelper commands in general, not just dh_install(1) | 09:56 |
janimo | cjwatson, thanks, good to know. | 09:59 |
mvo | oh, thanks cjwatson - I just looked at dh_install, my mistake | 10:06 |
mvo | feedback on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/810533/ would be welcome, its about the need to change libept1 to something that changes when the libapt-pkgX.YY soname changes, my current idea about it is that libept1 embeds the libapt version in there too, otherwise may end up with a libept that is linked against a old apt and a app linked against libept and new libapt - or is there a better way for this? | 10:09 |
geser | mvo: could versioning the symbols in libapt fix it too? but you might want to ask someone who is an expert in libraries | 10:17 |
geser | (I hope I understood the idea behind symbol versioning correctly) | 10:18 |
mvo | geser: thanks! it would certainly help but currently there is a global symbol (pkgSystem::SysList) that is touch by both lib versions so linking them both in will segv spectaculary :/ | 10:21 |
mvo | so that needs to be fixed first | 10:21 |
cjwatson | mvo: is this what's blocking bug 850264? | 10:26 |

cjwatson | mvo: that seems OK as a general approach but (a) I guess you really want to ask the libept developers :-) (b) I wonder if there are any binaries linked directly to both libept and libapt, in which case they would still have problems | 10:28 |
mvo | cjwatson: its the current blocker, donkult and I resolved some problems in dpkgpm.cc with the new debian dpkg multiarch interface, so apt itself should be good | 10:29 |
mvo | cjwatson: thanks! a) is indeed important, I asked upstream (but no reply yet) and b) there are binaries linked with both (synaptic, aptitude) so that is a real issue :/ for the builds we can solve it with build-versions, but of course its a lurking problem for local builds - any good tips ? :) | 10:31 |

l3on | pitti: what do you think about oneiric ubuntu0.1 / precise ubuntu1 ? | 10:49 |
pitti | doko: not sure whether it just uncovers a bug in librsvg or whether it's a genuine bug in dlopen | 10:49 |
micahg | l3on: a no change rebuild SRU should have been 1.2.6-1build0.1 IMHO | 10:50 |
pitti | l3on: I want to avoid ubuntu1 for precise, as this would stop autosyncs, and there are no ubuntu modifications | 10:50 |
pitti | l3on: that's why I proposed 1rebuild1 | 10:50 |
pitti | for precise | 10:50 |
pitti | 1rebuild1 (precise) > 1ubuntu0.1 (oneiric-proposed) | 10:50 |
pitti | micahg: it's a dependency change in o-proposed | 10:50 |
micahg | ah | 10:50 |
pitti | arguably the dependency shoudl be fixed in oneiric-proposed, though | 10:51 |
pitti | by e. g. adding a Provides: | 10:51 |
pitti | but it'd introduce a delta either way, so it doesn't matter much | 10:51 |

l3on | ok... I'm going to prepare branches each for precise and oneiric | 10:58 |
l3on | thanks micahg and pitti for explanation | 10:58 |
micahg | l3on: pitti: actually, there's another package that build depends on ruby-rack in oneiric, ruby-actionpack-2.3, maybe provides is better? | 11:01 |
geser | hmm, will the autosync for p+1 ignore the "+build1" too and sync this package or will it need a manual sync? | 11:07 |

dobey | brendand: well, i don't know which pieces of it you need exactly | 14:08 |
dobey | pitti: well, the needed bits are a little bigger than 2MB | 14:08 |
brendand | dobey - probably only the basics. might we get away with depending on other packages apart from while python-qt4? | 14:08 |
brendand | dobey - we need to be able to use most GUI components | 14:09 |
dobey | pitti: i think i calculated something like dropping 7MB, and adding 6MB back, with all we want to do for u1 | 14:09 |
brendand | dobey - i imagine requirements are similar to yours | 14:09 |
dobey | brendand: i mean, python-qt4 has several modules itself, which are shipped as separate libraries for the C++ version | 14:09 |
dobey | brendand: then you should be ok, i think. | 14:10 |
Riddell | brendand: what are you asking for? | 14:10 |
brendand | Riddell - In terms of what? Python modules - or something else? | 14:12 |
Riddell | brendand: what are you planning to use pyqt for? | 14:13 |
brendand | Riddell - oh, to implement a new UI for Checkbox that will run on Ubuntu and Kubuntu | 14:14 |
Riddell | nice | 14:15 |
Riddell | and every other platform of course, go Qt :) | 14:15 |

psusi | is initramfs-tools an ubuntu homegrown package, or is there an upstream somewhere? | 14:39 |
cjwatson | pitti: I was actually just preparing branches for that anyway | 14:40 |
cjwatson | psusi: upstream is Debian, although IIRC it originated in Ubuntu | 14:40 |
psusi | cjwatson: ohh... so not all distributions are using it? I thoguht the old initrd format was depreciated? | 14:42 |
psusi | the kernel just supports both and doesn't plan on changing that? | 14:43 |
cjwatson | using an initramfs doesn't imply using initramfs-tools | 14:43 |
cjwatson | it's just a gzipped cpio archive; the format is not difficult to generate, it's what you put in it that tends to be rather distribution-specific | 14:44 |
psusi | what other tools are there? using Linux doesn't imply that you're going to use util-linux's fdisk, but that's kind of the reference implementation... is there not a reference implementation for how to generate an initramfs? | 14:44 |
cjwatson | there used to be yaird, and Fedora uses something entirely separate whose name I forget | 14:45 |
james_w | dracut | 14:45 |
cjwatson | there is no single reference implementation, no | 14:45 |

ev | pitti: for the "Stop cleaning up ddebs after 7 days" task in support of the crash database, is it just a lack of disk space preventing us tweaking this, and thus a conversation I should have with James? | 15:18 |
pitti | ev: yes, pretty much; we are running into ENOSPC all the time, and already had to kill many arches/releases from ddebs.u.c. | 15:18 |

Daviey | infinity: i was simply following your request :) | 15:20 |
ev | well, I'd like to see what the upper limit on their side is, as, and correct me if I'm wrong, this is what's causing us to have to mark slightly out of date crashes as invalid | 15:20 |
Daviey | infinity: anyway, you'd need to speak to Machine Resources, HR would be confused why you are speakng to them :) | 15:20 |
pitti | ev: well, not only that; apport-retrace currently uses python-apt to retrieve the debs, i. e. it needs package indexes | 15:21 |
pitti | and our Packages.gz only has the most recent version | 15:21 |
pitti | ev: so it'll require some more work in ddeb-retriever to figure out in which Packages.gz an old version should go into, and then some version selection in apport | 15:22 |
pitti | so far there was not much pressure to do that, since we couldn't even fit all our current ddebs | 15:22 |
ev | pitti: okay, thanks for the clarification | 15:23 |
pitti | ev: and we don't only need the ddebs, we also need the regular .debs in their old version | 15:24 |
infinity | pitti: I take it we're still stalled on ddebs in soyuz? Cause it has all the logic required to do these things, I suspect (inculding keeping old versions in the index for a while). | 15:24 |
pitti | ev: at that point I guess it's easier to stop using Packages.gz and just directly look up the .deb/.ddeb on the mirror, assuming that they use a standard directory layout | 15:24 |
pitti | infinity: I haven't heard any update about that in a while, so I take it it's "yes, still stalled" | 15:25 |
ev | ah, okay | 15:25 |
infinity | pitti: Maybe we should revisit it sometime. See what still needs to be done to make it work, identify some bite-sized chunks, and either work on it or escalate. | 15:25 |

cjwatson | psusi: pretty sure that's a known bug | 15:52 |
psusi | infinity: it attributed both my entry and the debian dev's entry to me | 15:56 |
psusi | so dpkg-genchanges goofed? | 15:58 |
Laney | no. It's just a presentational thing that LP made it look like a changelog. | 15:59 |
Laney | Those are the changes relative to the last version in Ubuntu, so it's correct in that sense | 15:59 |

infinity | +changelog being an amalgamation of .changes entries is a bug, to be sure. But .changes doing what it does is more of a feature than a bug. It's upload attribution, not changelog attribution. | 16:05 |

psusi | isn't the bug in dpkg-genchanges? since it's incorrect right there in the changes file? and that is generated when the sponsor runs debuild right? | 16:23 |
infinity | psusi: .changes documents the upload, not the changes. It's perhaps poorly-named. :P | 16:24 |
jibel | pitti, could it be a network problem ? it seems the system is waiting on something. | 16:25 |
Laney | they are the changes in that upload though (relative to the last version in Ubuntu) | 16:25 |

ScottK | slangasek: Different issue. | 16:29 |
slangasek | ah? | 16:29 |
* slangasek digs | 16:29 | |
infinity | Which issue are we talking about here? | 16:29 |
ScottK | We need to update the symbols files. | 16:30 |
ScottK | The armel issue is memory exhausted during linking. | 16:30 |
ogra_ | infinity, the mmap issue of the arm kernels on the buildds | 16:30 |
slangasek | ScottK: it did on armhf too | 16:30 |
slangasek | "/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Memory exhausted" | 16:30 |
infinity | ScottK: That is a kernel bug, not a "we need a panda" issue. | 16:30 |
slangasek | infinity: no, the pandas have the fixed kernel deployed | 16:30 |
infinity | ScottK: The armel buildds are being updated for it as well. | 16:30 |
ScottK | infinity: Allededly the pandas have said kernel | 16:30 |
infinity | slangasek: Well, yes. There's that. But it's being deployed everywhere. | 16:30 |
slangasek | if it's still OOMing, then it needs > 3GB, not just > 2GB | 16:30 |
slangasek | infinity: point is, "wait for kernel update and retry" is the wrong strategy | 16:31 |
infinity | (And since the package needs a new upload ANYWAY, I'm not sure it's worth caring right now) | 16:31 |
ScottK | Sure enough. OOM on armhf too. | 16:31 |
ScottK | I swear I looked at that yesterday and it didn't. | 16:31 |
infinity | Kernel version: 2.6.38-1209-omap4 #19-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 20 15:41:36 UTC 2011 armv7l <-- Not the fixed kernel. | 16:31 |

ScottK | I must have looked at powerpc twice by accident. | 16:31 |
slangasek | hmm | 16:31 |
slangasek | infinity: well then - all the more reason "wait for kernel update" is the wrong strategy, because I was assured the pandas had already been upgraded which means it's probably not on the todo list ;) | 16:32 |

infinity | lamont: Ping, re: mmap kernel updates. | 16:33 |
slangasek | doko: do you recall the RT ticket # for the ARM kernel upgrade? | 16:34 |
slangasek | from what I can tell it's no longer open | 16:34 |
infinity | slangasek: So, looking at recent build logs, it looks like the only one of the distro builders that's been updated is meissa. | 16:36 |
slangasek | score | 16:36 |
doko | slangasek, there was none, buildds did get it with -updates | 16:37 |
infinity | slangasek: I know some of the other pandas around the DC (pseudo-virt PPAs, etc) were updated, but only one of seven of the distro buildds, apparently. :P | 16:37 |
doko | but afaik there still the omap3 kernel missing | 16:37 |
slangasek | doko: but the buildds needed a coordinated reboot, I thought there was an RT filed for that? | 16:37 |
doko | #50176] | 16:37 |
slangasek | doko: thanks | 16:38 |
infinity | That ticket starts out by assuming all the machines were actually updated. | 16:38 |
infinity | I suspect that's the failure. | 16:38 |
slangasek | heh | 16:39 |
infinity | slangasek: And, to be fair, there's no coordinated reboot required. | 16:39 |
doko | so the pandas should be updated | 16:39 |
ogra_ | just a random one ? | 16:39 |
doko | infinity, that's what I was told | 16:39 |
ogra_ | :P | 16:39 |
infinity | slangasek: Coordinated power-cycling is required when one wants to dump the pandafarm, but if you just type "reboot", they do as you'd expect individually. | 16:39 |
slangasek | infinity: well, I know it was made out to be an involved process when I pinged <shrug> | 16:40 |
ScottK | infinity: So would it be worth retrying qtwebkit-source on meissa to see if it makes it there? | 16:49 |
slangasek | it would | 16:49 |
infinity | ScottK: Sure, but it'll still fail due to symbols files being goofy, won't it? :P | 16:50 |
infinity | ScottK: Or is that PPC-only that's broken? | 16:50 |
infinity | ScottK: (Anyhow, I can make that happen) | 16:50 |
ScottK | infinity: It probably will, but then I'll have the build log to fix it. | 16:50 |
infinity | ScottK: Fair point. | 16:51 |
ScottK | infinity: Please try it. | 16:51 |
pitti | ScottK: still need me to kick a retry? the backscroll looks like that won't help? | 16:52 |
infinity | ScottK: Done. | 16:52 |
ScottK | pitti: I think infinity just did it. | 16:52 |
ScottK | Err he did | 16:52 |
pitti | for armhf, yes | 16:53 |
pitti | I mean for armel | 16:53 |
ScottK | Right. No point for armel yet. | 16:53 |
infinity | ScottK: Should I try to wrangle something for armel, or will the symbols breakage be the same for both? | 16:53 |
pitti | that's what I understood; ok | 16:54 |
* infinity tries to remember the last qt/kde symbols file he fixed for armhf... | 16:54 | |
pitti | unmangled symbols won't work? | 16:54 |
ScottK | I'm checking to see if there are differences currently. | 16:54 |
ScottK | infinity: It may just be powerpc. Let's see how armhf comes out before you spend time on something complicated. | 16:56 |
* BenC perks up on powerpc | 17:01 | |
ScottK | BenC: Just a per arch symbils difference. Nothing exciting. | 17:04 |
* BenC goes back to sleep | 17:04 | |
debfx | we could just pass -c0 to dpkg-gensymbols again like we do in qt4-x11 since it's unlikely that upstream will break abi and 95% of the symbols aren't really part of the public abi anyway | 17:08 |
ScottK | Does the Qt4 ABI guarantee apply to Qt Webkit? | 17:19 |
debfx | yes, qtwebkit is still part of Qt4 | 17:20 |
ScottK | OK. Might make sense then. | 17:21 |

hallyn | jdstrand: so, 'make check' for netcf succeeds in sbuild. But it fails on the buildds. (https://launchpadlibrarian.net/90473282/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-amd64.netcf_0.1.9-2ubuntu2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz) | 18:43 |
hallyn | don't know enough about the buildds to be sure what's going on there. | 18:43 |
jdstrand | hallyn: tests/test-suite.log would be helpful | 18:48 |
jdstrand | hallyn: there isn't obvious in the build log | 18:49 |
hallyn | yeah - i'm looking through strace of successful test in sbuild for a clue | 18:50 |
hallyn | nothing in test-suite.log actually | 18:50 |
jdstrand | interesting that it passed on armel | 18:50 |
hallyn | and test-debian.log only shows 6 successful tests :) | 18:50 |
hallyn | yeah | 18:50 |
jdstrand | PASS: test-debian | 18:51 |
jdstrand | so the buildds should all be native builders for the archive | 18:52 |
jdstrand | so I'm not sure why they would fail if it were a buildd problem | 18:52 |
jdstrand | might need to do a ppa build, perhaps cat'ing tests/test-suite.log on failure | 18:53 |
micahg | hallyn: do any of the tests require network access? | 18:54 |
jdstrand | well, the armel should fail then | 18:54 |
jdstrand | and when I ran the tests before I didn't see any network traffic | 18:54 |
hallyn | I've run them locally in an empty netns, successfully | 18:54 |
hallyn | no execs of ifconfig or ip | 18:55 |
jdstrand | hallyn: that would have been my next suggestion | 18:55 |
jdstrand | interesting :) | 18:55 |
hallyn | some missing dep, i would have to think... | 18:56 |
infinity | hallyn: If it works locally (in a clean chroot) and not on the buildds, it's almost certainly network-related. | 18:56 |
infinity | hallyn: Note that the buildds can't even resolve DNS outside their own network. It's stricter than most people think. | 18:57 |
jdstrand | yeah, but the empty netns points to something else-- and that arm succeeded | 18:57 |
infinity | Oh, I didn't notice that arm* succeeded. | 18:57 |
jdstrand | I run it with tcpdump and didn't see any traffic at all | 18:57 |

jtaylor | doko: why is the argparse provide in debian o_O | 19:16 |
infinity | superm1: But I'm more curious about the origin of this question... | 19:17 |
jtaylor | debian still has 2.6 | 19:17 |
infinity | superm1: As in, what do you want to provide source packages to? | 19:17 |
superm1 | infinity: well i wanted to add a test to a package that requires pulling the source of grub2 and compiling it with a patch applied. the binary package wouldn't ship with it | 19:17 |
superm1 | but to know if in the field that would break ahead of time with grub that's in the archive | 19:17 |
infinity | superm1: I guess no one can stop you from doing that, since it will, technically, work. | 19:18 |
infinity | superm1: But make the build smart enough to use the mirror in sources.list, don't hardcode it. | 19:18 |
superm1 | okay | 19:18 |
superm1 | do you have oppositions to the concept of doing a test like that though I take it? | 19:19 |
infinity | superm1: (Mirroring, for example, how debian-installer gets extra stuff during build) | 19:19 |
superm1 | right | 19:19 |
infinity | superm1: I have a general icky feeling about testsuites that assume network access. | 19:19 |
infinity | superm1: In the case of "pulling from a Debian repository", you do know it'll work on buildds, though. | 19:19 |

superm1 | well maybe make the test not fail if it can't apt-get source then, but only fail if the compile fails | 19:20 |
infinity | superm1: It won't be able to apt-get source at all. | 19:20 |
infinity | superm1: But in the spirit of what you meant, yeah. I guess it wouldn't be awful. | 19:20 |
superm1 | yeah i haven't looked at semantics of how it's done by debian-installer during build yet, so perhaps not apt-get source | 19:21 |
superm1 | okay, thanks! | 19:21 |
infinity | superm1: Well, apt-get source won't work because there are no deb-src lines in sources.list. | 19:21 |
infinity | superm1: You could build a sources.list of your own and apt-get -o APT::conf::whatever=mysources | 19:22 |
superm1 | but you can specify alternate sources.list files right | 19:22 |
infinity | superm1: But that seems rather like effort. | 19:22 |
superm1 | that that's what i was thinking | 19:22 |
infinity | superm1: The end goal of this being a package that allows users to make non-GPL changes to GRUB, I'm guessing? | 19:22 |
infinity | Or, makes said changes for them... | 19:22 |
superm1 | infinity: well actually the code is GPL, but it needs to be compiled under mingw | 19:23 |
superm1 | and want to make sure that it matches the grub in the archive for any CD builds that would have it built in | 19:23 |
infinity | I think I just burst a blood vessel in my brain. | 19:23 |
superm1 | haha | 19:23 |
superm1 | long story short, need a grub-setup.exe that can load a core.img boot from grub-mkimage | 19:24 |
infinity | Check. | 19:24 |
infinity | But I'm still mildly curious why you can't ship the resulting binary? | 19:24 |
infinity | I mean, we can, if you're talking about putting it on CDs... | 19:24 |
infinity | So, why not just ship it as an arch_all package? | 19:25 |
superm1 | hmm. | 19:25 |
superm1 | oh because previously I wasn't aware that it would be possible to fetch a source package from ftpmaster at all | 19:25 |
superm1 | so i guess that is a good alternative now | 19:25 |
infinity | Well, that would be the wrong way to go if you wanted to actually ship the binary. | 19:26 |
superm1 | but the problem would be what if grub in the archive got updated and this package wasn't rebuilt | 19:26 |
infinity | The right way to go would be either building it from grub2 itself (no-go, since mingw is in universe), or making grub2 produce a grub2-source package that you can build-dep on. | 19:26 |
infinity | While debian-installer does do crazy things outside the realm of build-deps, I'm not sure we want to use it as a precedent either. | 19:27 |
superm1 | that would still have the same rebuild problem though if grub in the archive changed | 19:27 |
infinity | Well, any solution other than "build it from grub" has that problem. | 19:27 |
infinity | At some point, someone needs to manually rebuild it, whether locally or by an upload. | 19:28 |
superm1 | the current way that it's done is during postinst with an apt-get source, which avoids that problem | 19:28 |
infinity | That's still a local rebuild. | 19:28 |
infinity | And needs to be re-done if grub revs. | 19:28 |
superm1 | well not for CD builds at least | 19:28 |
infinity | It also gives you no guarantees that the binary is the same everywhere. | 19:28 |
infinity | Err, oh. And if you have CD builds now requiring a compiler, that's a bit of extra ick. | 19:29 |
SpamapS | Can things in lucid-proposed still make it in to 10.04.4 ? | 19:29 |
SpamapS | I see that the freeze was tomorrow | 19:29 |
SpamapS | err | 19:29 |
SpamapS | yesterday | 19:29 |
superm1 | infinity: yeah it's a bit of a mess, there's some extra hooks to clean up that compiler after the postinst is done right now | 19:29 |
infinity | SpamapS: If they pass validation, that's a big "maybe". | 19:29 |

infinity | superm1: Yeah, that all sounds very much like a bad way to do it, IMO. | 19:30 |
SpamapS | we'd have to waive the 7 day rule too | 19:30 |
SpamapS | seems like its too late. :( | 19:30 |
infinity | SpamapS: Exceptions can be made. But generally only for something that affects media. | 19:31 |
infinity | SpamapS: And this doesn't look to. Upgrading post-install still fixes the bug. | 19:31 |
infinity | SpamapS: (I guess doing a netinst to an nfsroot would be problematic here, that's about all I can see to make it an installer blocker, though...) | 19:32 |
SpamapS | infinity: indeed, postinstall it is then. | 19:32 |
SpamapS | infinity: no, its not an installer blocker, should be fine | 19:36 |
infinity | hallyn: It could just be the age of the kernel? ARM buildds are newer kernels. | 19:40 |

infinity | hallyn: Spin up a hardy VM? :) | 19:41 |
=== deryck[lunch] is now known as deryck | ||
cjwatson | hallyn: are you actually testing in sbuild, or only in a chroot? occasionally that makes a difference. | 19:41 |
infinity | hallyn: (FWIW, I couldn't make it fail in a clean precise chroot, it's definitely not a dependency issue) | 19:41 |
hallyn | alrighty, will do, thx | 19:41 |
hallyn | cjwatson: sbuild | 19:41 |
cjwatson | OK | 19:42 |
infinity | cjwatson: The failure on x86 and success on arm* definitely makes me suspect kernel versions. | 19:42 |
cjwatson | I debugged a problem for doko the other day that turned out to happen in sbuild but not in a build started interactively in a chroot, because sbuild redirects stdin from /dev/null | 19:42 |
infinity | I'd suspect weird userspace/toolchain bugs, but those usually affect things in the opposite direction. :P | 19:42 |
cjwatson | I agree kernel versions are a good candidate, I just see too many people blaming "the buildds" without trying in a local sbuild. :-) | 19:43 |
infinity | cjwatson: Well, in this case, it works in sbuild on other arches. | 19:43 |

zyga | sorry, loose mouse | 19:44 |
infinity | ie: grabs the chroot tarball, runs the build in an lp-buildd instance. | 19:44 |
cjwatson | (PS lesson learned from that debugging session: you can't use script(1) in a package build) | 19:45 |
infinity | I'm sure you could if you felt the urge to play FD tag. | 19:46 |
infinity | But given that script exists to make such things unnecessary, I suppose that sort of defeats the purpose. | 19:46 |
cjwatson | I wrote a 51-line Python script instead. | 19:47 |
cjwatson | (About half of which was the licence statement.) | 19:48 |
jdstrand | hallyn: so, the kernel version differences makes sense to me too. if the fix isn't straightforward, it is still worthwhile to either have 'make check' not fail the build or better, to have the one failing test not fail the build. obviously ideally, we fix the issue and have make check fail the build | 19:48 |
hallyn | jdstrand: yeah, this should at least give me an idea of where to look for the fault. | 19:49 |
hallyn | infinity: thx | 19:49 |
infinity | jdstrand: Having make check fail the build is still the right answer, IMO, disabling the one offending test would be the way to go. | 19:49 |
infinity | jdstrand: (And when the buildds move to precise kernels, said test can be turned back on) | 19:50 |
jdstrand | there is that-- but the test is worthwhile on arm | 19:50 |
infinity | All assuming this is the issue. | 19:50 |
jdstrand | *shrug* | 19:50 |
jdstrand | let's try to get the issue fixed first :) | 19:50 |
infinity | jdstrand: Well, one could conditionally run that specific test based on kernel version. ;) | 19:50 |
jdstrand | true | 19:50 |
infinity | minver=2.6.38 or something. | 19:50 |
jdstrand | that is an even better option if the issue can't be fixed | 19:50 |
infinity | Well, it may be unfixable because it may be trying to do things old kernels just plain can't. | 19:51 |
jdstrand | that way local sbuilds would fail appropriately | 19:51 |
infinity | I wouldn't be shocked. | 19:51 |
cjwatson | There exist tests that only fail on newer kernels, too :-/ | 19:51 |
cjwatson | (Not this one, I know ...) | 19:51 |

superm1 | cjwatson: how would you feel about a grub2-src binary package to come up with a cleaner solution to what infinity and I were talking about above? | 19:58 |
cjwatson | Not particularly happy | 19:59 |
infinity | The two cleanest solutions are definitely either grub2-src or d-i-style pulling-from-the-archive-during build. Neither lacks ickiness. | 19:59 |
cjwatson | Mainly because I don't like what you're doing in the first place and don't want to encourage it - grub2 objects should be built out of grub2 | 19:59 |
cjwatson | And I feel I ship enough weird cruft from the grub2 source package as it is :-) | 19:59 |
infinity | cjwatson: Well, the least icky solution (from a packaging perspective) is pulling mingw into main, but I don't know if we want to open that can of worms. | 20:00 |
cjwatson | That's what I was about to suggest, actually | 20:00 |
cjwatson | Though maybe not for precise? | 20:00 |
infinity | I'm not against the idea, per se. I just don't know enough about mingw's supportability, etc. | 20:01 |
cjwatson | Ditto | 20:01 |
superm1 | okay, so next release cycle will come up with a cleaner way to be doing this then | 20:02 |
cjwatson | Wubi does a few nasty things as well, but at least it only uses shipped tools and doesn't compile anything | 20:04 |
cjwatson | And we do have an arrangement to upgrade the bit of it that goes on installed user systems when grub is upgraded | 20:05 |
cjwatson | With grub2-src you'd also have to be very careful about GPL compliance, and LP doesn't yet support Built-Using so won't help you | 20:08 |

seb128 | sorry but I don't have details out of this | 20:12 |
doko | that's enough | 20:13 |
stgraber | maxb: yes, upstart 1.4 lets you do that (though it's currently turned off because of a bug that makes upstart crash with some specific jobs) | 20:13 |
stgraber | maxb: you can boot with "--log" added to your kernel command line to turn on the feature until a new upstart is uploaded with a fix | 20:14 |
stgraber | maxb: then you'll get /var/log/upstart/*.log with the output of the jobs | 20:14 |
maxb | stgraber: ok.... well I guess I'll cheat horribly for now..... "console output", and replace /dev/console with a plain file :-) | 20:14 |
stgraber | maxb: (that's assuming you're running on Precise) | 20:14 |
cjwatson | or you can just redirect output to a file in /run for no | 20:14 |

slangasek | pitti: I've learned in a rather roundabout way of urfkill, which seems to be the last component needed to let us get rid of acpi-support; do you happen to know anything about this and if we can reasonably include it in the default install for precise? | 20:15 |
slangasek | seems a bit raw though; it has a config file that lets you twiddle things no one should ever want to manually twiddle, which implies it doesn't actually autodetect everything it should | 20:18 |
slangasek | oh, but there are vendor profiles that override | 20:19 |

tumbleweed | (e.g. beets, comes to mind) | 23:01 |
stgraber | barry: taken from jodh's procenv's package tests in the buildlog (IIRC that's how we discovered the /dev/stdin weirdness last week): https://launchpadlibrarian.net/89515945/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-amd64.procenv_0.2-1ubuntu7_BUILDING.txt.gz | 23:01 |
barry | stgraber: ah yes, right. james had that nice little package. thanks! | 23:02 |
barry | tumbleweed: maybe i should look at how beets does that for python-keyring | 23:02 |
barry | tumbleweed: ah. i see how it does it. i have to get python-keyring to set the local before it runs setup.py, since that's the first failure | 23:04 |
tumbleweed | that sucks if it won't even install in a non-UTF-8 locale | 23:04 |
tumbleweed | (python's encoding heuristics are one fo my least favorite bits of the language) | 23:05 |
barry | tumbleweed: yep. it reads the CHANGES.txt file next to setup.py, which contains non-ascii | 23:05 |
tumbleweed | ah, yeah, seen that before too | 23:06 |
tumbleweed | I got upstream to take an ASCII-ificantion patch | 23:06 |
barry | tumbleweed: could be an easy solution is a quilt patch to ignore encoding errors | 23:06 |
tumbleweed | yeah, that'd work too | 23:07 |
* barry wonders how far that'll get him | 23:07 | |
barry | it's definitely worth submitting an upstream bug | 23:07 |

broder | hmm...is it possible to set a SIGSEGV handler without interfering with apport/kernel's core dumping? | 23:45 |
cjwatson | lamont: I don't suppose you'd have a chance to look at RT#50437? Should be quick ... | 23:46 |
cjwatson | (will unblock an ubuntustudio work item for me) | 23:46 |
