ogra_https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2012-January/000777.html16:36
ogra_i dont really know much about the d-i stuff yet, since that only came up yesterday and NCommander hasnt been around all day ...16:37
ogra_but i know that he (was supposed to) talked to cjwatson yaesterday about it16:37
ogra_..16:37
ogra_cjwatson, anything to add on the plans ?16:38
ogra_..16:38
slangasekogra_: well, AIUI your team is asking for a d-i build for a kernel that we aren't even remotely going to consider providing security support for16:38
ogra_slangasek, right, my thought was to use a PPA, but michael claims that doesnt work16:38
ogra_..16:38
slangasekI advised NCommander yesterday that the best option under the circumstances is probably to clone the d-i source package, maintaining it as a bzr branch, and push this separate package to universe16:39
ogra_ok16:39
slangasekcjwatson: ^^ not sure if you agree with that16:39
slangasek(we can also take this out-of-band for further discussion)16:39
ogra_sound like a lot extra work vs using a PPA though16:39
ogra_right, and its michaels project, i'm only the (uninformed) reporter here :)16:40
ogra_..16:40
slangasekany other questions for ARM?16:40
faboo/16:40
cjwatsonslangasek: that sounds highly unpleasant ...16:40
faboogra_: any eta for m5 kernel tree to use?16:40
slangasekcjwatson: the whole thing is highly unpleasant, AFAICS :)16:40
ogra_fabo, its in the hands of linaro16:41
fabomx516:41
cjwatsonI'd rather just hack d-i to build this image out of universe :P16:41
ogra_slangasek, cjwatson thats why i said PPA from the start ....16:41
cjwatsonit won't make the situation particularly worse except that the images will end up in main/installer-arm*/16:41
cjwatsonbut they'll do that if you clone d-i too16:41
slangasekogra_: cdimage pulling from a ppa is no less unpleasant16:41
cjwatson... and there's no code for that16:41
ogra_cdimage ?16:41
cjwatsonand PPAs don't support d-i custom uploads16:42
ogra_all we need is a netinst image16:42
slangasekthat's not what I was told16:42
cjwatsonyou won't get that from a PPA16:42
slangasekanyway, let's offline this16:42
ogra_oh, ok16:42
faboogra_: sounds like we're asking to your team if we should use 3.1 or 3.216:42
ogra_right, i'm to uninformed to even remotely discuss it16:42
ogra_..16:42
ogra_fabo, ah, well, iirc that kernel is in universe, while 3.2 would be preferred we could live with a lower version16:43

slangasekso if you're still OOMing on build, I think you need to look outside the kernel for the fix16:59

slangasekLaney: hey there17:08
Laneynot much to report, ppc backlog is a bit of a concern17:08
Laneyalso ftbfs are a bit high so we should do something about that17:09
Laneyand thanks to the patch pilots: sponsor queue is heading in the right direction17:09
Laney:-)17:09
Laney..17:09
slangasekLaney: any particulars on ftbfs that are worth drawing out, or is it general archive malaise?17:10
slangasek(or un-analyzed)17:10
LaneyI haven't analysed it yet, but another drive like we had last cycle would be nice (don't know if a rebuild is planned to get the numbers refreshed)17:11
slangasekdoko is planning a rebuild now-ish17:11
slangasekI don't know if it encompasses universe however... actually that might be a toolchain test rebuild17:11

stgraberajmitch: sorry, have been fighting resolvconf related issues since I woke up...18:19
ajmitchno problem :)18:19
ajmitchgot the live cd builds working again?18:19
stgraberoh yeah, that was the easy bit :)18:19
stgraberthen, ubiquity failed, netcfg fails in some corner cases, LXC failed, schroot failed, LTSP still fails, ... :)18:20
ajmitchso far, just 2 from the ARB & one apology for being a bit late, worth starting a meeting?18:20
stgraberI think I only have the chroots and LTSP left on the list at the moment (but I have a fix for the chroot bit at least)18:21
stgraberhmm, let me try a mass ping of ARB members18:21
ajmitchthat's a lot of fallout18:21
stgraberat least highvoltage was on IRC a few minutes ago18:21
stgraberyeah, that's a long list, we mostly got caught by build/install issues, I'm not aware of any breakage on existing systems at least18:22

wendarhi18:22
ajmitchhi wendar18:23
wendarsorry, my caledar shows the meeting as 36 minutes from now, for some reason18:23

ajmitchwe had a brief discussion about this one in #ubuntu-arb yesterday, that we have some submissions which fiddle with the system (installing packages, touching files in /etc)18:26
ajmitchcurrently we have a general policy that such things aren't allowed, but there's no definitive place we can point people at for what's acceptable18:28
wendarthat's true18:28
wendarthere's the early documents, but it's not a clear list18:28
=== Pici is now known as Guest34884
wendarit would be better to have one page18:28
stgraberright, I think we should go with a whitelist on that rather than a blacklist18:28
ajmitchhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Review has some of our other rules, PostReleaseApps/SecurityChecklist has a whole lot more18:28
wendarstgraber: I like that, it has a more positive tone18:29
stgraberalong the lines of is allowed to write to an app specific directory in the user's home directory and can use gconf/gsettings to affect desktop settings if that's the result of a user's direct action in the UI and is revertable18:29
ajmitchI'd like to be able to reject those apps with a good response, and get information on developer.ubuntu.com linking to what we'll accept18:29
highvoltagestgraber: pong18:30
stgraberI don't want an app that starts messing in gconf/gsettings when it opens without it being a visible opt-in switch18:30
ajmitchalright18:30
ajmitchyou've probably seen that there's a fair discussion on ubuntu-desktop about ccsm & related apps18:31
wendarindeed18:31
stgraberindeed and I'm not necessarily against apps like that in extras, but they shouldn't do anything by default, make it clear to the user about what will be changed when they click something and ensure that reverting the change works18:32
stgraber(so effectively, that'd be a no-go for ccsm as the part about reverting changes doesn't seem to work too well ;))18:33
ajmitchunfortunately ubuntu-tweak is a bit of a kitchen sink, it adds/removes packages & manages PPAs as well18:33
stgraberright, ubuntu-tweak is a clear no-go if only for its use of gksudo, touching /etc and adding repositories18:33
stgraberwe don't even allow packages in the archive to add PPAs (well, except the packaging tools themselves) :)18:34
highvoltagestgraber: so is ccsm being dropped from the archive?18:34
ajmitchhighvoltage: as it stands, it's likely18:34
PendulumBefore you drop it can someone see how much work it's going to be to make the screen magnifier accessible in other ways? (including the options to set type of zoom and level of zoom)18:35
ajmitchgrub-customizer has an open debian ITP, so probably better to help the author get it in there18:35
stgraberhighvoltage, Pendulum: it might get dropped, anyway, that's not a discussion for the ARB to have, please discuss it on the mailing lists :)18:35
ajmitchPendulum: we're not the ones dropping it, we're trying to sort out what's acceptable for extras.ubuntu.com18:35
Pendulumajmitch: okay, couldn't tell who was making the final decision. Sorry!18:35
wendarajmitch: yes, agreed grub-customizer is better through the Debian process18:36
stgraberajmitch: right, I don't believe grub-customizer would be suitable for the ARB, so we should indeed drop it and help get it in Debian18:36
ajmitchok, I'll try & put aside some time for that & tell them in the rejection email :)18:36
ajmitchso as a general rule, the AppReviewBoard/Review page is a good place to put the guidelines about what an app can do?18:37
wendarajmitch: It might be worth creating a simple AppReviewBoard/Review/Guidelines page18:38
ajmitchalright18:38
wendarthat's just a list of "what we accept"18:38
ajmitchI can add that, and a canned response on the Responses page18:39
stgraberthat'd be grat, thanks18:39
stgraber*great18:39
wendarawesome, thanks!18:40

meetingology`ACTION: ajmitch to work on AppReviewBoard/Review/Guidelines (basic list of guidelines for app going to extras.u.c and some canned responses)18:40
stgraberI guess based on that page we can then go through the queue and do some mass rejection? (not sure how many we have but at least ubuntu-tweak should be rejected)18:41
ajmitchthere shouldn't be too many18:41
stgrabergood18:42
stgraber#topic Complexity criteria of app submissions18:42
=== meetingology` changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology | ARB meeting Meeting | Current topic: Complexity criteria of app submissions
stgraberso to quote what I said yesterday on IRC18:43
stgraber23:46 < stgraber> 15:41 <stgraber> I believe they are basically "no bundled libraries" (which gets us rid of 99% of the java stuff) and "no more code than a human can reasonably  read and  understand in an hour"18:43
stgraber(yeah, I've been copy/pasting that one a few times ;))18:43
wendarno bundled libraries at all?18:44
ajmitchwe did allow bundling some libraries if necessary, last time we sorted out rules18:44
ajmitchjust not bundling updated copies of what's in the archive18:44
wendarlike, if a python game uses a couple of self-written objects for data?18:44
wendarah, yes agreed18:44
ajmitchcertainly not bundling .jar files though :)18:44
highvoltagethat sounds very nice, especially for the arb reviewers, but wouldn't that make it hard to ship games?18:44
stgraberif the "library"/"module" is part of the upstream code, fine18:45
stgraberI just don't want to have apps containing bundled external libraries in their code18:45
highvoltage(actually, scratch that, I was thinking of things like Oil Rush, but that's not even an ARB app in the first place)18:45
stgraberbecause it becomes a security/bugfix/legal nightmare pretty quickly18:45
wendaryup, we don't want to be maintaining that18:45
=== cking_ is now known as cking
stgrabernot sure how we want to word it in the guidelines, but the idea is that we'd reject anything that bundles libraries/modules/whatever that can be found as a separate entity (so outside of the upstream project)18:47
wendarWe can word it mostly positively18:47
wendarYou can include any libraries that are part of your app, for example...18:49
stgraberyeah, we should try to be a bit positive about it (though it's a bit difficult to make that kind of criteria positive ;)).18:50
wendarIf your app depends on external libraries, please make sure that your app runs on the current versions shipped in Ubuntu.18:50
ajmitchit's also hard to make "your source is too big" positive :)18:50
wendar(that implies a negative, but states it as a positive)18:50
stgraberI'm sure we'd have submissions arguing on the "are part of your app" part saying that their upstream "source" tarball contains all these .jar and so it's "part of their app" :)18:50
stgraberwendar: +1 for that one18:51
ajmitchstgraber: fine, but we also have requirements that the app be buildable from source, afaik18:51
stgraberajmitch: indeed, which is why we should have rejected all of these with bundled .jar a long time ago18:51
ajmitchthe page links to the licensing policy which requires full source18:51
ajmitchyeah, I should have rejected those that I've seen, sorry18:52
wendarajmitch: How about something like "Our focus is on lightweight apps. To give you a general idea, we're looking for the kind of apps that could be reviewed in about an hour reading through the code."18:52
ajmitchwendar: that sounds good18:53
stgraberwendar: that in addition to the "If your app depends on external libraries, please make sure that your app runs on the current versions shipped in Ubuntu." would be great18:53
ajmitchan hour might be a little too lightweight, but it's a start18:53
wendaryeah, I could see spending a couple of hours18:53
wendarit's just to give them a rough guideline18:53
stgraberwith review here meaning just scanning through the code and figuring out what the app does, in that hour I didn't count licensing review or any actual testing of the app and packaging18:54
wendar(and programmers always underestimate, so if we say one hour, we'll probably get 5)18:54
ajmitchThere's an empty page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Review/Guidelines if you want to put them there18:55
stgraberwendar: can you add these two to the guidelines?18:55
wendaryes, will do18:55
stgraber#action wendar to update AppReviewBoard/Review/Guidelines to include a note on bundling libraries and complexity (review time) criteria18:57
meetingology`ACTION: wendar to update AppReviewBoard/Review/Guidelines to include a note on bundling libraries and complexity (review time) criteria18:57

stgraberso the queue still looks pretty long18:57
ajmitchit seems like the budapest sprint knocked a few off the list, and you've done a good job with getting some lenses in18:58
ajmitchI'm trying to find spare time to focus on 1 or 2 apps at a time & try & get them through18:59
highvoltageif there's something I should/could look at let me know18:59
ajmitchhighvoltage: 'all of the above'? :)18:59
stgraberI'm not sure all the changes that were listed on the mailing list by non ARB members have been applied to the queue (these from Daniel and Michael), would be good to make sure they didn't do these reviews for nothing18:59
ajmitchthe myapps page looks to be sorted by submission date (or ID) now19:00
stgraberajmitch: seems to be by ID19:00
ajmitchhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/app-review-board/2012-January/000274.html19:01
ajmitch^ dholbach's reviews19:01
wendarwhich would end up being by submission date, since they're auto-incrementing19:01
ajmitchhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/app-review-board/2012-January/000314.html19:02
ajmitch^ mvo's reviews19:02
stgraberwendar: right, by initial submission date, not by last submission (which is shown as the Since. column)19:03
ajmitchdoesn't really matter about the particulars of the sorting, I was more suggesting we work from the top down, to get the oldest ones moving19:03
stgraberhighvoltage: can you look at these two e-mails and make sure the changes have been sent through myapps?19:04
highvoltagestgraber: ok, I can do so tomorrow19:04

stgraberwendar: indeed19:05
stgraberanything else about the queue?19:05
* ajmitch has nothing more to add at the moment19:06
stgraberJust a quick reminder to not touch the PendingQA ones, hopefully these will be moved to published soon (still waiting for the updated software-center)19:06
ajmitchvoting on the list seems to be a good way to do it19:06
stgraberat the moment we need to use some hybrid MyApps/package metadata hack to get things to show up on the software-center, so before uploading a package to extras.ubuntu.com, please let me know and I'll make sure everything is right19:07
