jbichahi, cogl failed to build on arm & I don't know enough to fix it00:00
jbichaso, how does the new queue work for new binary packages?00:39
=== hggdh_ is now known as hggdh
jbichacan we reject cogl until we figure out how to get it to build on ARM? as the new cogl will break gnome-shell00:40
infinityjbicha: I can reject the binaries, sure.00:41
slangasekrejecting new binaries should really only be done for wrongly named packages that have to be done anyway, or very grave bugs00:42
slangasekis there a bug open for this gnome-shell issue?00:43
infinityslangasek: In this case, the request to reject until he fixes the FTBFS, so he doesn't have to deal with skew in one direction or the other doesn't hurt my feelings. :)00:43
infinityslangasek: The issue is, I assume just that gnome-shell needs to be updated for the new cogl.00:43
infinityjbicha: That said, you could just make sure gnome-shell has versioned build-deps, and it would be dep-wait on arm*00:43
slangasekjbicha: is it the skew you were worried about?  that wasn't clear to me00:43
jbichaand I think continuing the gnome-shell/clutter transition wouldn't be a good idea00:44
infinityslangasek: Ahh, I had a bit more context from the ARM channel.00:44
infinityslangasek: cogl->clutter->gnome-shell is the dependency chain, and if cogl's broken, there's not much point in carrying forward until it's fixed.00:44
slangasekah00:44
jbichaslangasek: the cogl/clutter transition bug is bug 941617 by the way00:49

skaetRiddell,   MIR - fontskanjistrokeorders,  is there someone working on resolving the issues flagged in the bug?    I'm not sure it meets the definition of critical priority though, am adjusting to high.15:40

Riddellmm right, I guess he marked as critical because it's illegal to ship it like that15:53
RiddellI'll take a look when I can15:54
skaetthanks15:54
skaetDaviey,   looking at the MIRs for server,  there seem to be some server ones without priority (netcf, python-keystoneclient, python-cherrpy, vblade-persist, ceph)  could you take a pass and prioritize?15:58
Davieyskaet: Oh aye.. Expect them to double within the next two days. :(15:59
skaetDaviey, *sigh* not what I wanted to hear....  :P   please prioritize the ones there now,  so our precious MIR resources focus on the most important ones then.16:00

skaetdidrocks,  whats' the current ETA for compiz 0.9.7.2 (was expecting it on monday?)16:43
didrocksskaet: compiz? no16:43
didrocksskaet: we landed a trunk snapshot in monday16:43
didrockswhich is 0.9.7.0+bzr…16:43
didrocksbut never planned to announce it as 0.9.7.216:44
didrockswho told that?16:44
skaetCompiz 0.9.7.2 planned for Monday  was in last week's status...16:44
skaethttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ReleaseStatus16:44
didrockswell, I'm not the one filing this… I told dbarth that wasn't accurate16:44
didrocksso you get a new compiz16:45
didrockswhich is basically "trunk"16:45
didrockson Monday16:45
didrocksnot sure how it was officially mixed with a 0.9.7.2 release, which is just a tag at the end :)16:45
skaetthanks for clarifying.16:46
skaetam trying to figure out what's left to land.16:46
skaetunity 5.8,  unity-2d 5.8 (both bug fix releases) is on my radar for next week.16:47
didrocksright16:47
skaetwill there be a compiz or nux drop?16:47
didrocksand unity-2d with multimonitor, as we discussed, this week16:47
skaetyes16:47
didrocks(testing ending)16:47
didrocksyeah, when we talk about unity, it's in fact:16:47
didrocksdee, libunity, nux, unity-lens-files, unity-lens-applications, unity-lens-music, unity, (and some compiz pieces)16:48
didrocksah, and bamf16:48
skaetare some bits landing before, or is it all going to hit simultaneously?16:48
didrocksskaet: no, all components are intermixed unfortunately16:49
didrocksbut when we do community testing16:49
didrocksit's on all the bits as well16:49
didrocksso we are quite clear about the "stack" statuts16:50
didrocksstatus*16:50
skaetwhere should I be looking for the plans?16:50
didrockswhat do you mean by "the plans"?16:50
skaetwhich bits of the stack are dependent on each other and tested together.16:51
didrocksskaet: basically all of this are tested together16:51

didrockswhen we launch the test:16:52
didrockshttps://launchpad.net/~unity-team/+archive/ppa16:52
didrocksso basically, every components that are not "grey" (meaning, there is a higher version in the ppa than in precise) is planned to be released, for now16:52
didrockslike you can see, there has been no new bamf commit for now (the line is grey)16:53
skaetdidrocks,  yes, understand they're tested together - trying to get forecast though of what's being assembled together.   Where bug fixes emerging, etc.16:53
didrocksskaet: ah bug fixes, that's different16:53
didrocksskaet: so, I have a distro priority list:16:53
didrockshttps://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuMtju1x8UoEdDNCT1U5MlVodjIwNGJPdnU5YVltVmc#gid=116:53
didrocksthose are all the bugs that are due/important for precise ^16:54
didrocksfor what is planned, you have the milestoned:16:54
didrockshttps://launchpad.net/unity/+milestone/5.8.016:54
didrocksbut unfortunatly, there are too many bugs that they can close in the milestone16:54
didrocksso keep an eye on the "fix committed" ones (when upstream updates the status, which is, unfortunatly, not everytime the case)16:55
skaetdidrocks, I'll go do some cross checking and get back to you,  am a bit worried about some of the bugs that are indicated as critical from a release perspective and have been lingering.16:57
didrocksskaet: what do you mean, the bugs that you have on your list?16:58
didrocksskaet: if you have concerns about the rate of fixing (that I do have as well), please see with thumper16:59
didrocksso that I'm not the lonely voice :)16:59
skaetdidrocks,  :)   bugs that have been indicated as blockers for the release (ie. milestoned/critical/release targetted)...   checking on them now.16:59
didrocksskaet: ah ok ;)17:00
didrocksskaet: normally, they should be on the priority list as well (but it's better if you ping me with the list)17:00
skaetdidrocks,  will do.17:01
skaetknome,  re: the logo question yesterday,   as long as you let the docs folk know about it,  it should be fine as long as it lands this week. (so time to catch the oop's next week ;) )19:37

skaetslangasek,  netboot images,  just noticed the ones on the daily image tracker are pretty old/stale,  and paths aren't matching where the current ones are being posted.    Was there a decision made not to keep them on cdimage at some point?20:37

slangasekwhere are they linked on the daily image tracker? http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/204/builds only shows omap420:39

slangasekhttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/admin/config/services/qatracker/products/47/downloads should be more meaningful now20:46
slangasekogra_, infinity: ^^ I'm trying to work out which bits from http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/precise/main/installer-armhf/20101020ubuntu118/images/omap/netboot/ (et al) should be linked from the ISO tracker... do these files really have to all be downloaded individually?20:52
slangasekogra_, infinity: or is the boot.img-* an all-in-one netbootable image?20:54
slangasekskaet: so the one thing missing from my perspective is that the "daily testing" page (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/204/builds) links to version 20120113... that's not a version number for the netboot images, which only get rebuilt when the installer is uploaded20:59
slangasekso the real version number is 20101020ubuntu11820:59
slangasekis that getting auto-populated somewher?20:59
slangasekstgraber: ^^20:59
stgraberslangasek: they are currently manually added, so whoever last added them (might well have been me) did it with the current date21:01
stgraberslangasek: so you're saying we should use whatever's the latest version of debian-installer for that? if so, I'll add it to a cron here so it's checked once an hour and bumped if needed21:02
slangasekstgraber: yeah, I think that's the only value that makes sense there for a version21:06
slangaseksince if we're testing the netboot image, that's the granularity that matters21:06
stgraberslangasek: ok, writting the script now. Please keep the broken version for now, I'll test the script on it to make sure it works21:07

ogra_slangasek, boot.img should be an SD card image, youu wont boot a beagle XM without SD (or a directly attached USB OTG server)22:07
ogra_that we have the contents separately available too helps with qemu-system22:08
slangasekogra_: SD card image? I don't understand; these are labelled 'netboot'22:09
ogra_well, they are netinstall images, the beagle XM cant actually do a real netboot since you need MLO and u-boot locally22:09
slangasekso they're being packaged in the wrong directory in d-i?22:10
ogra_and there is no NADA22:10
ogra_err22:10
ogra_NAND22:10
slangasekif there's no support for actually booting kernel+initrd over the network here, it shouldn't be in a directory called "netboot", that's just confusing22:10
ogra_well, kernel and initrd can be used over the network and run a netinst d-i session22:11
slangasekused over the network how?22:11
ogra_to do that you would create an SD where you put MLO, u-boot and boot.scr in place, in boot.scr you define that it should PXE boot22:11
ogra_u-boot then pulls kernel and initrd via tftp22:12
slangasekand the uImage and uInitrd that are shown in that directory can be booted via tftp that way?22:13
ogra_using the boot.img you can avoid the SD creation if you want22:13
ogra_right22:13
slangasekhow does boot.img let you avoid it?22:13
slangasek(is any of this documented somewhere?)22:13
ogra_its just for convenience (though i think NCommander includes kernel and initrd in the boot.img, which actually makes it a "netinst iso")22:13
slangasekok, so the boot.img is a dd'able image containing the MLO, u-boot and boot.scr22:14
slangasekplus, maybe, the uImage and uInitrd22:14
ogra_i dont think its largely documented, i worte documentation for the very first implementation i did for lucid22:14
ogra_but that very likely was removed during a wiki cleanup22:15
slangasekheh22:15
slangasekhttp://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ARM/NetBoot22:16
ogra_yeah, right, you can (or better should be able to, i havent tested that in ages, GrueMaster uses it though) use it for a real netboot with SD "jumpstart"22:16
slangasekogra_: ^^ that's what's linked from the iso tracker - could you review it please and see if anything needs improving?22:16
ogra_will do22:16
slangasekta22:17
GrueMasterslangasek: It looks right for omap4.  I'll need to edit it when we add armadaxp to the tracker though.22:17
ogra_yeah, looks fine22:17
GrueMasterConsidering I wrote it last cycle.  :)22:17
ogra_the variant where you create your own SD from the separate parts should be documented somewhere though22:18
slangasekthe NAND limitation is beagle-only, isn't it?  IIRC panda has NAND22:18
ogra_nope22:18
ogra_nothing has nand nowadays22:18
slangasekogra_: right, but "assemble your own" doesn't need to be documented in the test case... that can go elsewhere22:18
ogra_you have either eMMC (if you are lucky) which is a lot cheaper than NAND ... or nothing and an SD slot22:18
slangasekGrueMaster: ah, ok :)22:18
GrueMasterthe nand limitation only affects BeagleBoard.  Not XM or newer.22:18
GrueMasterThe only change to the test case is for armhf.22:19
ogra_i dont think even linaro has any boards that have NAND atm22:19
slangasekogra_: well, I'm less interested in the specific flash technology built in than I am in whether it's present and loaded with a netboot-capable u-boot :)22:19
slangasekso eMMC vs. NAND shouldn't matter?22:20
ogra_indeed22:20
ogra_as in: both are persistent storage it wont matter indeed22:20
GrueMasterafaik, the only officially supported netboots going forward are omap4 and server platforms as they come online.22:20
ogra_nontheless, we dont support any such devices atm22:20
slangasekGrueMaster: sure22:21
ogra_right, we shouldnt drop omap3 (huge community behind it) but we dont need to officially support it22:21
slangasekanyway, it sounds like I'm already pointing to the right files now on the ISO tracker as a happy coincidence22:21
ogra_(we also get it for free from the mainline kernel)22:21
slangasekGrueMaster, ogra_: thanks for confirming22:21
ogra_:)22:21
* ogra_ vanishes again for some late dinner22:22
GrueMasterAh, I see you added armadaxp and omap to the tracker.  Not sure if we will continue testing omap.  omap4 for sure and armadaxp (I was actually going to ask for it to be added as soon as the 3.2 kernel hits the pool).22:23
GrueMasterAt any rate, I have to leave for the day.22:24
