nhandlerA reminder email about Debian Import Freeze being in effect might be helpful :)02:53
stgrabernhandler: I guess it wouldn't hurt, though it's not like there's any action required on the developers' part for that specific freeze03:04
nhandlerstgraber: Nope, but it has traditionally been sent in the past iirc. It might also save some developers a few moments of wondering why their packages are taking forever to sync from Debian (before remembering DIF)03:05
ogra_hmm, the arm livefs builder produces random gzip errors during package unpacking07:43
cjwatsonurgh, the problem with rewriting kernel-overrides is that I have to understand its morass of sed first09:29
cjwatsonI might be able to get away with no longer having to specify the old ABI, though09:52
Davieycjwatson: What is the status of squashfs for server.. is there anything i can take on?11:06
gemahi all, any reason for not having a desktop image today?11:10
gemaoh, they seem to be there11:11
gemabut appeared late11:12
gemaok, I will have another go at running the tests on today's images11:12
cjwatsonDaviey: roughly the right squashfs and iso contents now, but need to figure out a sensible way to convince the cdimage scripts to build an image containing both a livefs and the necessary d-i initrd11:16
Davieycjwatson: Is this best left with you, or do you want me to poke stuff?11:19
cjwatsonprobably best left with me11:20
cjwatsonthough I want to get it to the point where you can JFDI without bothering me :)11:20
Davieycjwatson: That would be nice. :)11:25
cjwatsonPlease nobody process the kernels in NEW; I'm working on a kernel-overrides script and want the test case12:01

skaetogra_ thanks,  the work items and release notes hadn't mentioned ARM so I thought it was just generic x86.   Read closer.   Will follow up with james on the specific questions then.  :)13:50
seb128skaet, can you ack desrt membership on https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-community-contributors/+members ?14:37
seb128skaet, hey btw, thanks for the reply to my email ;-)14:38
skaetseb128,  desrt's approved.   :)   give it an hour or so,  and the tracking should start.14:42
seb128skaet, thanks ;-)14:42
knomeskaet, i wonder if that team is open for teams14:43
skaetknome,  teams can just get added directly.14:43
knomeaha :)14:43
skaetno need to go through that path.    Just let me or cjohnston know.14:44
knomeskaet, at least xubuntu-art and xubuntu-team would make sense, we've assigned a lot of items for those14:44
knomeskaet, thanks :)14:44
knomeskaet, hmm, xubuntu-team exists in the teams page, but clicking that on the xubuntu burndown page doesn't open that page (of course...)14:45
knomeskaet, but otoh, that's different anyway14:45
skaetknome,   just looks like xubuntu-art is missing,  the others are already there.14:48
skaetknome,  I'm working on some other things right now, but remind me in the meeting on Friday if I haven't added it by then.14:49
knomeskaet, yeah, but what i'm after is that on the "teams" page, xubuntu-team means anybody on the team, and it will show all the items14:49
knomeskaet, but we have assigned items to *xubuntu-team*, and it would be nice to track those items only, not everything for everybody in the team14:49
skaetknome,  that's what the topics are for...  :)   http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-quantal/group/topic-quantal-flavor-xubuntu.html14:50
skaetyou control which blueprints are tracked in it.14:50
knomeskaet, i was thinking if it was possible to have a page ala http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-quantal/u/knome.html for xubuntu-team14:51
knomeskaet, where only any items assigned to *exactly* xubuntu-team (not anybody in the team) are shown14:51
knomeskaet, if you look at http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-quantal/group/topic-quantal-flavor-xubuntu.html, you can see that the xubuntu-team has literally 22 items assigned14:52
knomeskaet, eg. [xubuntu-team] ... :)14:52
knomeskaet, that's not what http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-quantal/xubuntu-team.html, or the topics track14:53
seb128knome, it is14:54
seb128knome, your team is the light orange color14:54
knomeseb128, yes, the team as in everybody that is part of the team14:54
seb128well, that should be the difference between (team) and (foreign)14:54
skaetknome,   probably a good request to bring up at the next UDS session on the work item tracker.14:55
knomeskaet, ok :) or i'll just poke stgraber meanwhile ;]14:56
* skaet figures its going to take some work, and a bit of design.14:56
knomedepends how the system is built :)14:57
knomeit's not the most important thing ever, but it would help in reassigning the items to actual people, and to track what collectively has to be done (in addition to/apart from the items that have a single assigneE)14:58
* cjwatson declares victory over kernel-overrides15:06
skaet:)15:07
cjwatsoncommitted to lp:ubuntu-archive-tools, removing the version on cocoplum15:08
* cjwatson wonders if anyone needs new-remove-duplicates any more15:09
cjwatsonI think I'll remove that because it used to be much more of an issue for mass syncs, and that's no longer a problem in practice; and for duplicate manual uploads, it's better to check by hand and pick the best, rather than arbitrarily rejecting the oldest15:10
* skaet nods15:15
ogasawarawhen an archive admin has a moment, could I get the linux-3.5.0-4.4 and linux-meta-3.5.0.4.4 kernel packages copied out of quantal-proposed and into the release pocket15:48
cjwatsonogasawara: done15:49
ogasawaracjwatson: thanks15:49
cjwatsonthough for the record you can probably do that yourself15:50
cjwatson'sru-release -r quantal linux linux-meta' from lp:ubuntu-archive-tools15:51
cjwatson(won't work for stable releases, but since you can upload directly to quantal you should also be able to copy to it)15:51
ogasawaraah cool, i'll have to try that next time15:52
micahgcjwatson: I thought we said we don't want regular people copying from -proposed to the release pocket15:54
cjwatsonno reason why it should be a problem in this particular case15:54
micahgsure, just pointing out the general policy though :)15:54
cjwatsonanyway that's basically superstition until such time as there's any kind of effective gatewaying on the release pocket15:55
cjwatsonso I see no point in enforcing it15:55
ScottKmicahg: Enforcing such a rule on the development release would probably encourage people to upload straight to the release pocket when perhaps it might be better not to.16:03
micahgScottK: ooh, deja vu :), well, the problem is that people not realize all the transitions in progess in -proposed at the moment, so the task was left to the AAs16:04
cjwatsonI'm not saying everyone should copy stuff around without thought, but it's perfectly obvious that linux/linux-meta isn't part of a transition.16:04
cjwatsonExcept its own self-contained one which the kernel team are well aware of.16:05
micahggranted16:05
cjwatsonThere's no point applying policy when it doesn't make sense.16:05
ScottKI was thinking more about the stuff that breaks things due to archive skew.16:06
ScottKThose don't need to be in proposed very long.16:06
micahgScottK: right, but if they use something in transition with changed symbols, copying it prematurely will break worse than the archive skew :)16:06
ScottKYes.  So they shouldn't do that.16:07
micahgs/will/could/ :)16:08
stgraberas we don't have any automated process in place at the moment I usually pocket-copy my own stuff from the proposed to release pocket, but I tend to be aware of what transitions are going on and obviously won't copy something that'd break the archive. Having to wait for/poke an AA everytime sounds like a bit of a waste of time for everyone and would certainly make me consider pushing to release pocket + playing with build score as an alter16:10
stgraberand unless that changed recently, it's not totally obvious how to do the pocket copy (no script in ubuntu-dev-tools or web UI), so it's unlikely that someone would do it by mistake :)16:11
cjwatsonright, you need stuff from u-a-t I think, or to know the API well enough to do it yourself16:13
stgraberyeah, I usually just call copyPackage directly from lp-shell16:16
Davieystgraber: I know too well that is what you do :)16:17

ScottK(it refers to another bug)17:56
bdmurrayso what now?17:57
ScottKbdmurray: I'd recommend moving it back to -proposed until that's resolved.17:57
ScottK6 minutes until the publisher run.17:57
ScottKcjwatson or infinity:  Can you help?17:57
bdmurrayScottK: How can I fix this?17:57
ScottKinifinity managed to move a package back to proposed on Friday.  Not quite sure how.17:58
micahgwas it deleted from -proposed yet? (does sru-release do that?)17:58
ScottKJust removing compiz from updates doesn't fix it as there was already a previous SRU there.17:58
ScottKskaet: It seems like -proposed regressions reported in a new bug and not noticed is a bit of a recurring theme.  Might be a good topic for the SRU team meeting.18:01

ScottKSomeone can, but not me.18:03
stgrabercjwatson, jdstrand: ^18:03
micahggah, looks like it's too late18:03
ScottKSomeone should upload a .2 ASAP that reverts this change and then it should get smoke tested and pushed to updates.18:06
cjwatsonToo late.  Copy it back to -proposed and remove-package it from -updates.18:07
cjwatsonIt's about to be dinnertime but let me see if I can do that quickly.18:07
Laneythat will re-publish the previous -updates package?18:07
bdmurraycjwatson: thanks18:07
cjwatsonLaney: No18:08
cjwatsonCan't do that18:08
Laneyho hum18:08
ScottKThat's why I was proposing a new upload.18:08
cjwatsonIf you need that, then yeah, your best bet is a fresh upload.18:08
* ScottK looks around for an Ubuntu Desktop person.18:08
* cjwatson wanders off then.18:08
ScottKOh.  Laney.  \o/18:08
Laneywho did the original upload?18:08
stgraberScottK: Laney seems to be around ;)18:08
ScottKstgraber: I was getting to that.18:09
Laneysince I have nothing to do with it …18:09
ScottKgrab it from LP, bump the version number and upload.18:09
cjwatsonFWIW we need to stop assuming that we can stop the publisher anyway - that ability is going away18:09
micahgcjwatson: can we get a safe haven pocket to copy stuff to then? :)18:10
cjwatsonAnd in any case that was always a ridiculously crude measure18:10
cjwatsonmicahg: No18:10
Laneyseb128: popey: ^^^18:10
seb128popey, ^18:10
popeyhah18:10
cjwatsonIt won't help.  You'd just find out about stuff when you copied out of the safe haven.18:10
cjwatsonIt's like adding more confirmation dialog boxes to things.18:10
ScottKEventually it's safe havens all the way down.18:10
micahgcjwatson: well, in this case, we could've copied -updates to the safe haven or something like that18:10
cjwatsonErr18:11
cjwatsonOne of us is confused18:11
ScottKHe's looking for a place to stow the previous update in case a revert is needed.18:11
* micahg was tempted to copy to -security temporarily18:11
cjwatsonBeing able to copy things out of -updates wasn't the problem.18:11
Davieyi consider precise-updates to be a safe haven, where i won't get a regressed system from :)18:11
micahgcjwatson: the issue was that the -proposed copy overwrote a previous update18:11
cjwatsonYou know you can copy from any publication even if it isn't current, right?18:12
cjwatsonBut that doesn't help, because you can't wind -updates backwards.18:12
cjwatsonRegardless of whether you try it by an upload or a copy18:12
micahgcjwatson: oh really?, that's nice18:12
ScottKIn an case, Laney or seb128:  Is someone working up loading a revert?18:12
seb128ScottK, popey's team is maintaining compiz and unity packages, I need to run but I will have a look at the backlog later18:13
micahgcjwatson: but, I guess it doesn't help since we can't go backwards :(18:13
seb128check with popey18:13
popeyola18:13
cjwatsonmicahg: Exactly.18:13
LaneyI can't upload it.18:13
popeymy guys are end of day :S18:13
Laneybut if you do it, I am on board with that.18:13
cjwatsonFor an -updates regression, company policy is that we get people out of bed :-P18:13
ScottKpopey: I do all this for free, so "my guys are end of day" isn't very impressive.18:14
popeyunderstood.. i was merely pointing out a fact18:14
ScottKParticularly for an SRU regression.18:14
stgraberI'm happy to take the old compiz, bump the version and upload if that helps people resolve the who-does-what problem?18:14
DavieyLets just work out that needs doing, shall we?18:14
stgraberclearly that's what needs to happen at this point and I can't see how it could make things any worse18:14

LaneySo where was the problem here?19:54
bdmurrayDo you mean why did I approve it?19:54
LaneyThat the report wasn't updated with v-failed? That the copy was done without checking all bug reports one more time? That there is no way of flagging additional bug reports up?19:54
Laneybdmurray: yeah.19:54
bdmurrayYes, the report wasn't current and I didn't check all the bug reports one more time.19:55
ScottKDone.19:55
bdmurrayPossibly also one thing that may have helped if the reporter of that regression bug had opened it against the ubuntu package of compiz and tagged it regression-proposed.19:56
bdmurrayAt least some of the SRU team is subscribed to that tag and regression-updates.19:56
seb128one of the dx guys screwed up as well by not knowing the process19:57
seb128the bug was tagged verification-failed by an user19:57
seb128but Daniel went "this specific issue is fixed, please open a new bug for the regression" and tagged the bug back verification-done19:58
bdmurrayOh, I think I was thinking about tagging bugs via a bot if the package is from -proposed but that wouldn't have helped since the regression bug wasn't reported via apport.19:58
seb128Daniel = Daniel Van Vugt, one of the compiz guys19:58
seb128Laney, I dropped an email to jasoncwarner and didrocks with a summary for the situation and the things that failed, which includes:19:58
seb128- nobody from the people who did the SRU watched for the comments19:59
seb128- nobody in #ps noticed the bug opened about the regression19:59
popeythank you seb12819:59
seb128- the distro process was misunderstood which did lead to revert the verification-failed tag19:59

Laneycheers20:00
seb128popey, I think we will have a discussion with some extra people Cced about those issues and how we prevent them to happen again, but I didn't want to turn the incident in another ranting or anything like that so I just bounced to Jason for status update with some ideas tonight20:01

cjwatsonbdmurray: half-hourly20:38
cjwatsonit's on the archive cycle20:38
bdmurraycjwatson: thanks that seems regularly enough20:39
cjwatsoninfinity: could somebody from canonical-partner-dev hoover up bug 990761?  friend of mine's asking, and AFAICS it's a one-line fix20:41
ubot2Launchpad bug 990761 in acroread "acroread 9.5.1 is not installable on Ubuntu Precise amd64 system" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/99076120:41
infinitycjwatson: If by "someone", you mean me, I suppose I could make that happen this afternoovening.20:44
cjwatsonYou're here :-)20:45
stgraberchrisccoulson is touched-it-last but I guess it doesn't really matter who fixes it ;)20:45
cjwatsonah, I didn't check, correct20:45
cjwatsoner s/correct/sorry/ leakage from talking IRL20:45
stgraberacroread probably should be made arch=i386 then instead of building on both i386 and amd64 and failing on amd64 as is currently the case20:46
micahgyeah, but he's not available ATM either :)20:46
cjwatsonstgraber: it is20:46
cjwatsoner, oh, didn't notice the failure.  only successfully built on i386, yeah20:46
stgraberyeah it tries to build-dep on ia32-libs20:46
infinityYeah, it should just be multi-archy.20:48
infinityBut that sounds like more than a 1-line change.20:48
infinityPotentially TWO OR THREE.20:48
stgraberdoesn't it ship a firefox plugin too?20:49
stgraberif so you'll need quite a few hacks to make it work20:50
cjwatsonOh, is it not multiarchy right now?20:50
infinityI dunno.  This is more knowledge of acroread than I want to have.20:50
cjwatsonThere's a more extensive patch in bug 99883720:50
ubot2Launchpad bug 998837 in acroread "acroread fails to install on amd64 (dup-of: 990761)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/99883720:50

stgraberif it ships a mozilla plugin poke me, I have already done that work for a not-yet-released partner package20:50
cjwatsonSo not a one-liner then, but still just a control file change20:51
cjwatsonThough I'm not sure the Architecture change to acroread-common in that bug is correct ...20:51
infinityDear god, this is a 267MB source package.20:52
stgraberlooking at the branch for that other package, making the firefox plugin should be trivial though (if it indeed bundles it), you just need to always depend on nspluginwrapper and call it even on i386, it DTRT for you20:52
infinityThis could take a few hours of Nicaragua bandwidth.20:52
stgraber(sure nspluginwrapper is pointless on i386 but it doesn't harm AFAICT)20:52
infinity                if [ `uname -m | cut -c 1` = "i" ]; then21:25
* infinity dies a little inside.21:25
highvoltageinfinity: what's wrong with that? they obviously wanted to check if the machine you're running on is ia64!21:28
infinityhighvoltage: :P21:28
infinityI clearly need more wine before working on this package.21:28
jbichahmm, people are talking about trying to revert Abiword to 2.8.6 for Precise in bug 101962121:34
ubot2Launchpad bug 1019621 in abiword "Precise abiword version needs to be reverted to stable release prior to 12.04.1" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/101962121:34
micahgjbicha: it's too bad no one complained before release about these bugs :(21:35
micahgif we can confirm ABI compatibility with the latest snapshot, I"m going to push for an SRU of it21:35
micahgdowngrading post-release isn't really an option21:36
tumbleweedurgh21:37
jbichathere was discussion on the Abiword mailing list last month about releasing 2.9.3 or 2.9.4 but it looks like those releases weren't official yet21:41
micahgno, Debian has a snapshot from june though21:41
jbichayeah, that's in quantal too21:42
infinitymicahg: Downgrading's an option, if it doesn't blow up user settings.21:42
infinitymicahg: But forward is probably the saner way to go, assuming upstream is fixing this visual issues.21:42
micahginfinity: well, 2.8.x is GTK2, 2.9.x is GTK3 and the settings might blow up21:43
infinitymicahg: GTK2 vs GTK3 doesn't matter, we ship both everywhere that wants Abiword anyway.  But yeah, if setting could explode, that would be the obvious blocker.21:43
jbichathe lack of confidence from the abiword developers (and the lack of a release schedule) is annoying21:45
micahgindeed21:47
infinitycjwatson: So, uhm.  You say you have a friend being bitten by this acroread not installing on amd64 thing?  Cause it Just Works here...21:59
cjwatsoninfinity: He had the oneiric version installed, and apt refused to upgrade it22:00
cjwatsonapt-show-versions acroread said "acroread/precise *manually* upgradeable from 9.5.1-1oneiric1 to 9.5.1-1precise1"22:00
cjwatsonapparently22:00
infinityAhh.  I could see it, perhaps, having upgrade issues, yeah.22:00
cjwatsonAnyway, I'd forgotten you were at debconf, so don't feel obliged to spend lots of time on it right now :)22:01
infinityWell, I'm poking at it idly.22:01
infinityBut yeah, not panicking about it. :P22:02
xnoxis anyone tracking libevolution / gtkhtml transition? And has it been staged into proposed?22:36
