tumbleweedDMB: please pepper cyphermox with questions (assuming you have any)14:23
stgrabercyphermox: when is Feature Freeze (exact time please)?14:24
cyphermoxstgraber: what I understood was midnight UTC, start of Thursday 16th, unless there was a different time announced?14:25
stgraberthere was a different time announced, though at least what you said won't make you upload past FF :)14:26
stgraber16:03 < skaet> Feature Freeze is at 2100 UTC14:26
tumbleweedfreezes are usually at 2100 UTC14:26
cyphermoxah14:26
micahgthat's documented: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule?action=show&redirect=PreciseReleaseSchedule14:26
tumbleweedcyphermox: you are, of course, subscribed to ubuntu-devel-announce?14:27
cyphermoxI am14:28
micahgcyphermox: as a core dev, when would you not sponsor an upload?14:28
cyphermoxmicahg: I tend to only sponsor uploads when I have a strong knowledge of the package and code in that software, unless the changes are pretty obviously safe. I can't think of a better answer to give you right now.14:30
micahgcyphermox: ok, what about factors besides your knowledge that might cause you not to sponsor something14:30
micahg(which are good reasons in general, but over time you want to push that envelope)14:31
tumbleweedcore-dev is a general upload right to the entire archive, one can't have strong knowledge of every package14:31
cyphermoxmicahg: when the sponsored upload might clash with an ongoing transition ?14:31
micahgcyphermox: there's not only one answer here, but that's one, anything else?14:32
cyphermoxmicahg: for my edification, could you elaborate? I may have got stuck on that "factors beside your knowledge" part14:33
micahgwell, what other criteria would you look at besides the quality of a diff to determine whether or not to sponsor an upload14:34
cyphermoxah14:34
cyphermoxI don't have a better answer than the one I gave you14:35
stgrabercyphermox: what do you consider "pretty obviously safe"?14:36
cyphermoxstgraber: a small change to packaging for a missing file to be installed, minimal code changes for safety checks, etc.14:37
cyphermoxit of course depends of the actual change being done, but that's examples14:37
stgraberok14:38
stgrabernow let's say you're asked to sponsor a sync from Debian for a package in main, what would you check?14:38
cyphermoxare there changes from the package in Ubuntu we might want to keep; any thinks likely to fail to build or work as a result of the the new package.  that would most likely involve checking with the last person who touched the package first14:42
stgrabergood. Anything to be careful about regarding the resulting binary packages when we're talking about packages in main?14:43
cyphermoxnew dependencies that might need to be in main as well14:44
stgraberexactly :)14:45
tumbleweedor that can be safely avoided in ubuntu by turning off features14:45
cyphermoxon account of wpasupplicant experience I would also say where the libraries end up on the filesystem14:46
micahgcyphermox: is there a way to check if an upload might affect other packages besides the one you're uploading?14:49
cyphermoxyes. checking reverse-depends or reverse build-depends; I've also hacked the transitions tracker before to make myself a page for libnl3.14:50
tumbleweedcyphermox: on a slightly different tangent I know users would love to see more usb-modeswitch* backports for hardware-enablement. Do you think that's possible?14:53
cyphermoxbackports, certainly, though not really SRUs14:53
cyphermoxI think it could be done though to just SRU the usb-modeswitch-data package with micro-exceptions such as we do for mobile-broadband-provider-info since it's just data14:54
cyphermoxin the cases where it works with the version of usb-modeswitch available14:54
tumbleweedif the formats stay the same, that'd probably be nice to have14:54
Laney(answer when you're finished) Do you think spending some time on +1maint gave you valuable experience? What did you learn there and would you encourage others to seek to spend some time with the team?14:54
tumbleweed(and then we need to finish up and go to a vote, we have 5 mins remaining)14:55
cyphermoxLaney: it's great exposure to a large variety of different problems. I feel it gave me some experience, although I'm generally unhappy with my "performance" there, I don't feel like I've been able to fix that many things14:55
tumbleweedwas that partially because you weren't a core-dev?14:55
tumbleweederr mainly14:56
cyphermoxmaybe, but that could have been worked around by sponsoring14:56
LaneyWas there enough support from your fellow team members?14:56
cyphermoxsome of the issues were much outside my comprehension14:56
Laneyor did you miss some 'training' or a way to find issues to work on?14:56
Laneyfind/select14:57
cyphermoxyes, there was, though I was trying hard to get things done by myself to learn "better"14:57
cyphermoxLaney: I don't think so, maybe that was missing "experience", and some fixes just take time, I was trying to get them though debian first (re: asciidoc IIRC)14:57
cyphermoxbut you can't get the experience chasing these kinds of errors without being exposed to them before14:58
cyphermoxfixing builds that were requiring network access was quite interesting; so was fixing things due to the kernel we use for buildds14:58
Laneysure, so maybe you'd have a better experience next time aroudn14:59
cyphermoxLaney: yes, my second run was already better14:59
tumbleweedare we done with questions, can we go to a vote? (I don't see anything sheduled for the next slot, but no need to drag on for another hour :P )14:59
* stgraber is ready15:00
cyphermoxplease, don't drag on for another hour :)15:00

roadmrCheckbox version 0.13.1 was just accepted in Ubuntu, with lots of fixes and new goodies.16:02
roadmrWe'd like to ask for everyone's help in running it and reporting any bugs you may find (by running ubuntu-bug checkbox, for instance).16:02
roadmrThis will allow us to start focusing on fixing those bugs in time for the 12.04 release.16:03
roadmrInstalling it should be as simple as applying available updates in your Ubuntu Precise installation.16:03

cr3The new checkbox-qt interface provides a button to submit test results and hardware information anonymously.16:05
cr3The problem is that Launchpad does not like anonymous information on the basis that information not linked to anyone is useless.16:05
cr3We could workaround this problem by providing a dummy email address when users click on the button to submit anonymously.16:05
cr3Or, we can remove the button to submit anonymously. Note that the interface prompts for an email address which doesn't need to exist in Launchpad.16:05
cr3If a user eventually creates an account in Launchpad with the same address, the submissions will be linked to the new user retroactively.16:05
cr3So, should we vote on removing the button to submit anonymously?16:06
mlegris+1 -> yes16:07

roadmrsounds OK to me, anyone want to comment anything before we vote?16:07

cr3roadmr: +1, but I don't think we need to vote on that :)16:09
ara-116:09
meetingology-1 received from ara16:09
araI think it is better to use a dummy email16:09
cr3ara: people could provide a dummy address themselves if they really want, but at least it wouldn't make bad behavior as common16:10
arabut it would make the UI messy16:10
cr3ara: we're removing a button, how's that messy?16:10
arawhat will be the label for the email text box16:11
aracurrently is Launchpad ID email16:11
ara(or something along the lines)16:11
roadmrcr3: but will the text that explains that even a non-launchpad email address be briefer than the button?16:11
roadmrcr3: people aren't too good at those "implicit" behaviors, so we *need* to spell it out16:12
cr3ara: whether we have the anonymous button or not, I think the email input field will need the same text16:12
roadmrthat's a good point16:13
araI don't think so16:13
cr3ara: please explain, I'm not sure I follow16:13
araRight now you can:16:13
ara* Submit anonymously16:13
ara* Submit with your Launchpad email16:13
arathat implies that you need a Luanchpad account to submit with the email text box16:14
araif we remove the submit anonymously16:14
arawe will need to remove the Launchpad all together, to avoid confusion16:14
araLaunchpad label, I mean16:14
araor add a too lengthy explanation about the eamil16:15
cr3* Submit with your email, optional16:15
cr3so, if you click on submit without anything, it submits anyways?16:15
cr3in other words, remove the big red button to encourage bad behavior and still support your use case?16:16
araI will need to see a mock up to get the idea16:16
cr3ara: I'm thinking the same as it was which we now works with Launchpad requirements16:17
cr3s/now/know/16:17
araI don't see why submitting anonymously should be consider "bad behaviour"16:18
arabut I will be happy to see other mock ups16:19
cr3ara: if it weren't bad behavior, why should we prompt for an email address at all?16:19
roadmrso maybe this feature needs a bit more thinking?16:22
roadmrlet me close the vote, I think despite the clear majority this still merits some discussing16:22
roadmr#endvote16:22
meetingologyVoting ended on: remove the "submit anonymously" button from Checkbox? (+1 means "yes, remove it")16:22
meetingologyVotes for:5 Votes against:1 Abstentions:016:22
meetingologyMotion carried16:22
roadmrignore meetingology :)16:22
cr3roadmr: agreed, but we might not have that luxury. I'd say try to propose a way to submit both anonymously and with an email address with as little confusion as possible, or fallback to the previous behavior in time for FF16:23
cr3ara: ^^^ how does that sound to you?16:23
roadmrcheckbox-deluxe16:24
cr3roadmr: if we name it checkbox-++, does one minus cancel one plus?16:25
roadmrcr3: yes I guess16:25
cr3checkbox+, just like google+, we'd be trendy!16:25
roadmrok so 1- user has a launchpad account and wants to submit with his email address16:26
roadmr2- user has NO launchpad account and wants to submit with his email address16:26
cr3roadmr: it seems that we dispensed with the whole raising hand practice16:26
roadmr3- user wants to submit but not give his email address16:26
roadmr4- user doesn't want to submit at all16:26
cr3roadmr: +116:27
roadmrso coming up with a UI that makes all those cases easy, with as little implicit behavior as possible (i.e. no "if you leave the email address blank and click "submit" we will make up an address and submit anonymously")16:27
roadmr..16:28
cr3roadmr: should that be an action item?16:28
roadmrcr3: ideally, but it has to be a quick action as FF is in a couple of days16:29
roadmr[ACTION] Propose a way to handle the four use cases (see above) - preferrably with a mockup, maybe send to UF mailing list16:29

meetingologyACTION: Decision made based on clearness and ease of implementation (due to time constraints)16:29
roadmrsounds about right? I didn't put anyone in particular since at this point we'd be looking at any proposals that come in16:30
roadmrOK anything else on this topic? ara, are you OK with this course of action?16:31
cr3roadmr: sounds right to me16:32
araroadmr, yes16:33
ara(I am OK)16:33
araroadmr, who are the owners of the action items?16:33
roadmrara: since it's about making proposals, I guess anyone who has an idea :)16:33
cr3roadmr: I should take it since I opened the can16:34
roadmrok thanks!16:34
roadmrok then let's continue with this16:34
