phillwmy successor has not agreed to the role - so you're stuck with me :P14:10
balloons:p14:10
phillwtesting seems okay. a few minor niggles. One thing that is causing concern is that there does not appear to be a browser for ppc builds in 12.10 (they used Ffox in 12.04).14:11
=== Ursinha` is now known as Ursinha
MohamedAlaa98I'm still here :)14:11

bdmurrayand I thought breaking out the 'suggesting use of RTLD_DEEPBIND when15:27
bdmurrayopening nss modules from eglibc' task might be a good idea15:27
slangaseksounds good to me15:27
bdmurrayokay15:27
bdmurraythen infinity and I were looking at bug 1001904 yesterday evening15:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1001904 in sysvinit (Ubuntu) "package sysvutils (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/mesg.1.gz', which is also in package sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu11" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/100190415:28
bdmurraythe users had added hardy to their sources15:28
slangasekand people are doing this because there's a java package still in the hardy archive?15:28
slangasekwe removed it from partner for all releases... I guess we overlooked hardy because it was in the main archive, not in partner?15:29
slangasekcjwatson: ^^ do we want to remove sun-java from the hardy release pocket?15:30
cjwatsonWe've never regenerated a release pocket Packages so far15:32
cjwatsonIn the past I've said we'd only do it given a CnD15:32
* slangasek nods15:32
slangasekany other action to take here, then?  I'm not sure it makes sense to worry about the missing replaces per se15:32
cjwatsonSo, well, it's possible, but it would have to be a tremendously compelling reason15:32
xnoxdo we have permission to continue to distribute sun-java though? I thought there was termination.15:32
cjwatsonxnox: Only for later versions15:32
xnoxok15:33
infinityWe could fix the replaces, but really, pulling in Essential packages from a 4 year old release is sort of a "you get to keep both pieces" scenario.15:33
slangasekagreed15:33
infinityIf we fix the replaces, would it completely disappear the old package?15:33
infinityCause that's vaguely elegant, at least.15:33
infinityOr... Maybe that would be hilariously bad.15:33
bdmurraywell is there something better we can do to detect people in this scenario?15:34
infinityIt's pretty clearly unsupported-but-allowed use of the tools.  I dunno how much hand-holding we can do.15:34
slangasekinfinity: right - so what about detecting that this is what a user has done, so we can disregard the bug reports (or block them beforehand)?15:36
slangasekI'm not interested in us spending effort making this work for users15:36
infinityDisregarding is a bit harsh without feedback telling them why.15:36
slangasekthere are many bug reports that go disregarded15:37
infinityAnd the effort spent on making fancy hooks for that sounds like more than just doing the replaces and papering over it.15:37
slangasekso we think this is a one-off circumstance, and we won't see other bug reports?15:38
infinityThere are two dupes.15:38
infinityNot sure how many others haven't been found.15:39
bdmurrayI'll try and search for more 3 isn't really a large quantity15:39
slangasekby "other" I mean "other kinds of bugs caused by trying to travel back in time 4 years"15:39
infinityOh.15:39
slangasekif it's going to be a general class of issue, better to suppress bug reporting15:39
infinityNothing that I've seen.  But bdmurray's the one who knows all. :P15:39
cjwatsonI can imagine some, but auto-installation of Essential seems like the hardest to avoid.15:40
slangasekif we really think this is the only bug of its kind, then that's easily done15:40
* slangasek assigns the bug to infinity 15:41
infinityJust what I always wanted.15:42
slangasekbdmurray: others?15:42
* ogra_ has an errors.u.c question ... does that fit in this topic ?15:43
bdmurrayslangasek: nope15:43
slangasekbdmurray: ok, thanks15:43
slangasekogra_: let's say yes15:43
ogra_k15:43
ogra_so if distros like mint supress updates and security fixes ... bugs will re-occur over and over on the list ...15:43
ogra_can erros be taught to hide bugs once a newer version was uploaded ?15:44
ogra_*errors15:44
ogra_thats an ev question i guess ...15:44
ogra_that came up recently in a discussion i had and i promised to ask here :(15:45
ogra_err15:45
ogra_:)15:45
slangasekwell, errors is meant to know if a crash occurs with the current package or only with the older ones... at one point the headline graph showed "# of crashes" vs. "# of crashes we'd have if people were up to date"?15:45
slangasekand the current display shows the first and last known package versions for a crash15:45
slangasekI think hiding the bugs entirely might be too much at this point, though, since there might be other reasons people aren't getting the update that are in our control?15:46
cjwatsonWe also want to know about unexpected regressions15:46
ogra_which wouldn happen with a newer version15:46
ogra_*would15:46
cjwatsonAnd about whether lots of our users are seeing bugs because for some reason they aren't up to date; I think to some extent this is a different-audiences question15:47
* slangasek nods15:47
ogra_k15:47
cjwatsonMany developers would only care about newest-version, but (say) release management might care about everything; I think I'd like to see it be controllable ...15:47
slangasekev: ^^ so what's the right answer for ogra_'s concern?  do we track these by sending you mail? :)15:47
bdmurrayI seem to recall a filter by release / distro feature coming to errors which may help15:48
ogra_haha, sorry, i only channeled the question, i didnt mean to do anything evil to ev15:48
slangasekwell, I think it's a legitimate request for errors.u.c functionality15:48
infinityI think ev died.15:49
ogra_indeed, but i dont want him to drown in mail caused by mint users :)15:49
slangasekoh, I wasn't suggesting having mint users email ev, I was suggesting *you* mail him ;P15:49
ogra_oh, ok15:49
slangasekanyway, ev seems idle, so best to take this offline from here15:49
ogra_yeah, i can do that15:49
ogra_right15:50
bdmurrayyou can also report bugs a launchpad.net/errors15:50

slangasekanything else?15:52
evsorry, got pulled into a side conversation15:53
evI have AOB15:53
infinityNot just OB?15:53
evand then I'm happy to loop back and talk with ogra_15:53
evinfinity: :)15:53
ogra_ev not urgent, we can do it another time15:53
evso pitti and I were talking about having references to the error tracker in uploads15:53
slangasekinfinity: he has Astounding Oratorial Bacon15:53
evmuch like we do with LP bugs15:53
infinityThat seems messy.15:54
cjwatsonI'm going to have to go to catch a bus, I'm afraid - need to leave sharp today15:54
infinityGiven that error reports should align with bugs anyway, no?15:54
* slangasek waves to cjwatson 15:54
evwhat do people think of a full SHA-1 hash of a crash signature (the things you see in the function column on errors.ubuntu.com) for this, or the first half of the SHA-1 hash15:54
bdmurrayI thought bugs were going to contain information about errors?15:54
slangasekev: wouldn't we want any error we care about fixing to have a corresponding bug report?15:54
ogra_++15:54
* infinity notes we all seem to be on the same page here. :P15:55
infinityerrors -> bug -> fix bug.15:55
infinityUnderpants, etc.15:55
slangasekif nothing else, an error tracker ref doesn't give us anything to hang the developer's thoughts on15:55
xnoxstatistically ev, you can trim it down to first 7 characters. But, I'd rather see lp: bug references only.15:55
evsomething needs to refer back to the error tracker15:55
infinityev: The bug can.15:55
xnoxev: add errors as a bug tracker on launchpad.15:55
ogra_and the bug cant ?15:55
cjwatsonWe need a tool to promote error-tracker entries to bugs, I think15:55
xnoxev: link to 'distributions errors.ubuntu.com' as a bug watch15:56
cjwatsonTo make it easy and make it more likely that it's done in a vaguely standard way15:56
infinityThat would actually kinda work.15:56
infinity(The external tracker link)15:56
infinityBut just a simple tag works too.15:56
evtag is probably easlier15:56
eveasier even15:56
xnoxinfinity: sha1 tag?15:56
xnoxor url tag?15:56
infinityDon't care.  Just "a bug tag".15:57
infinityerrors:sha1 or something would work.15:57
evI just need to give that one some though, as I really don't want to involve a cron job on this15:57
slangasekyou want a separate bug tag for each error entry?15:57
slangasekmy understanding is that launchpad does not like scaling tags15:57
* cjwatson suggests checking with the LP team in case a bazillion different tags would cause some kind of problem15:57
evoh no, it wouldn't be lots of tags15:57
infinityOh, right, tags are actually hashed as keys.15:57
infinityNevermind.15:57
evit would be the needs-dupcheck tag15:57
evor whatever it is15:57
cjwatsonRight, gone15:58
evwhich would then cause the LP retracer to pick it up15:58
evbut that adds the latency of waiting for the LP retracer15:58
evhmm15:58
evwe could just have the errors.ubuntu.com backend create the bug when you click on a "create bug" link and immediately write it in to the bug field in the BucketMetadata column family15:59
evthe "create bug" link only being present when one doesn't exist in the bug column16:00
slangasekany other acl on that?16:00
evthis would mean any linked bugs would be created by a bot16:00
evwell, the standard canonical+bugsquad or whatever it is16:00
* slangasek nods16:00
slangaseksounds reasonable enough to me16:01
evokay, I'll confirm with martin and hopefully go with that16:01

jmarsden|workphillw, can you bring us up to date on this one?20:07
phillwwell, as wxl is here, he can let us know if he wants that role. As I stated, until a replacement is found I will continue in that task.20:08
wxli don't *WANT* it, but i will do it if no one takes it on20:08
wxlhonestly, i'd love to do it. i just find it hard to commit the time. my available time shrinks every day, i swear.20:08
phillwthat is a curse of QA, especially as release date gets closer.20:09
jmarsden|workOK... then let's leave it with Phillw for now; phillw can you post something outlining what the role requires to the lubuntu mailing list, and we'll see if anyone else feels inspired to do it?20:09
wxlcan i just vote to keep you, phillw? ;)20:09
phillwjmarsden|work: I've written up a critique20:09
jmarsden|workGreat, thanks.20:09
phillwbut, the job is more than just 'the job'... that is hard to put into writing,.20:10
phillwI'll continue for 12.10 unless something unforseen happens, such as me getting a job in Singapore etc :)20:10
jmarsden|workUnderstood... but we need something to try to explain it to potential volunteers, at least.  I wonder what the other flavours do wrt filling this role -- do they have descriptions of it we can use??20:11
phillwbut, I will put it to th eML. Having someone join now would be excellent20:11
jmarsden|workOK, sounds settled for now then. Thanks!20:11
phillwermmm... what other flavours?20:11
jmarsden|workQA for Kubuntum QA for Xubuntu, etc.20:11
phillwthe last QA guy I knew of (Xubuntu) resigned last cycle. They're struggling20:12
jmarsden|workAh!20:12
phillwkubuntu is held by one of their devs.20:12
wxli DON'T want that to happen to us.20:12
phillwhe was, and now is sponsored20:12
wxlso when you can't take it any more, i'll struggle with it in your absence, phillw.20:12
Unit193Xubuntu has astraljava, IIRC.20:12
phillwwxl: hence my remaining here. it is too important.20:13
phillwUnit193: who are not doing A1's......20:13
wxlyikes20:13
phillwlost Mac & ppc last cycle.....20:13
wxl:(20:13
will_Is there a full QA team, and just looking for a coordinator?20:13
wxlthere are always qa members20:14
phillwThere is a full QA team, just someone to attend the meetings and liase across several teams.20:14
phillwI'll write it up better & post it.20:14
wxli thought you did this already?20:15

jmarsden|workOK... sure :)20:16
* skaet perks up and pays attention now.... ;)20:16
* stgraber looks20:16
phillwThe respins have been done again. a few 'major' bugs squished20:16
phillwthe call has gone out, as the A1 goes 'live' tomorrow. There do not seem to be any show-stopping bugs for an A1 release.20:17
jmarsden|workRight.  Basically Lubuntu is on track and has an Alpha1, which we can now encourage lots of testers to test.20:18
phillwone minor (ish :P) bug for ppc is there is no borwser20:18
phillw*browser*20:18
jmarsden|workBut that's not ours to fix, really... and presumable all flavours have that same issue.20:18
wxlyikes20:18
phillwjmarsden|work: indeed, and it is fixable.20:18
phillwhopefully before beta 1 :D20:18
jmarsden|workchromium and firefox both do not currently build for PPC, is basically the problem... so it is fortheir teams to fix.20:19
jmarsden|workOK...20:19
wxli need to make a proper install out of it. i kind of cheated my way to quantal. there seems to be a known bug with update-manager that seems to have been squished because i don't see the symptoms anymore.20:19
