babyface_anybody knows why there is no new precise build since July 15 ?    http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily-live/current/09:23
babyface_the daily iso test is blocked for this09:24
babyface_ no new desktop precise build and no new server precise build09:28
cjwatsonit's still running09:30
cjwatsonnot sure why it's late today09:30
cjwatsonlooks like it's almost there though09:30
babyface_cjwatson, ok, could you help to check what's wrong ?  we can not stand on this, coz it makes the test result ugly in Jenkins.  thanks!09:33
cjwatsonbabyface_: just wait09:33
babyface_cjwatson, ok09:33
cjwatsonsince it's making progress right now there isn't really any point in me investigating anything09:34
cjwatsonand we already know what the underlying problem is, namely that there's only one useful arm livefs builder at the moment09:34
cjwatsonso I don't need to redo that investigation09:34
gemacjwatson: is there a way to make both builds independent from each other?09:36
cjwatsongema: get more arm livefs builders09:36
cjwatsonotherwise, no09:36
gemacjwatson: what does that mean, buying more HW?09:36
cjwatsonthis is all already in progress09:36
gemacjwatson: do you know when we can expect it to be in place?09:37
gemacjwatson: (to avoid asking you the same questions again and again)09:37
cjwatsonsorry, no, ogra_ might, but AFAIK it is at least partially in IS' hands09:38
cjwatsonanyway, your precise images are there now09:38
gemacjwatson: thanks09:38
gemacjwatson: will follow up with ogra_09:39
* ogra_ reads backlog09:39
ogra_ah, yeah, already in progress, i dont know any exact status though09:39
gemaogra_: do you have an RT ticket or such?09:40
ogra_it was discussed at the last release team meeting and several people are on it atm, should be solved "soon"  :)09:40
ogra_(several people ... including your boss)09:40
ogra_gema, i dont know if there is an actual RT (if so, i dont know the number), but there is definitely work going on, i'll ping you as soon as something changes09:41
gemaogra_: thanks a lot !09:43
cjwatsonI couldn't find a ticket for it09:45
gemacjwatson, ogra_ I will check with pgraner tomorrow, he'll surely know the status of it09:46
cjwatsonI think the (possibly informal) search keyword would be "mandabox"09:46
ogra_heh, yeah09:46
ScottKcjwatson: I taught sru-accept to also spit out the invocation for 'queue' in addition to providing the link to the LP page.13:21
cjwatsonScottK: Cool, thanks.  I was considering having it poll for a minute or two attempting the accept itself.13:21
cjwatsonBut that may not be worth it since the fact that it can't be automatically accepted is a filed LP bug.13:21
ScottKPersonally I like the intervening step of thinking about do I really want to accept that into -updats.13:22
ScottKupdates13:23
ScottKSince I'm just about to make something available to ~every user of that release, it bears an extra moment of thought.13:23
ScottKI just didn't like having to think through the ./queue syntax each time.13:23
cjwatsonsru-accept could have an extra confirmation prompt, if you like13:26
cjwatsonI don't think the extra moment of thought needs to be quite as cumbersome.13:27
ScottKThat makes sense.14:14
ogra_gema, RT 54490 (in case pete didnt tell you yet)15:25
gemaogra_: thanks, he hasn't told me yet15:26
cjwatsonskaet: I'm going to be out this evening at the time when the experimental freeze is due to start; do you think you could deal with asking webops on irc.c.c/#launchpad-ops to set quantal's status to "Pre-release Freeze" at the appropriate time?15:36
ScottKbdmurray: Who's in charge of the code behind the pending-sru.html page?15:47
ScottKIt looks like there's a bug because the precise SRU for visualvm shows no bugs, but there are two in the changelog.15:48
ScottKhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/visualvm/1.3.2-0ubuntu2.115:48
ScottKBoth bugs are verification done, but I guess no one noticed because they don't show up.15:49
stgraberScottK: I don't think it really has an owner though it's been TIL by cjwatson and bdmurray (sru-report in lp:ubuntu-archive-tools)15:51
ScottKstgraber: Thanks.15:51
skaetcjwatson, can do.15:53
bdmurrayScottK: I happen to be working on it now so will have a peek15:54
ScottKbdmurray: Great.  I'll hold off accepting the SRU so you have a test case.15:54
stgraberxkeyboard-config is good to go (I just marked verification-done the last bug), so if someone is doing accepts, would be great to have it included (as some of the fixes have been hitting a lot of users, mostly french users)15:56
cjwatsonSo, I'm taking a day off tomorrow, but we have the test freeze; could people keep an eye on unapproved uploads to quantal-release and accept them as quickly as possible, per the discussion on ubuntu-devel@?16:13
cjwatsonThe command line to use is typically 'queue -s quantal -Q unapproved -e accept <package name(s)>'16:13
cjwatsonIf it times out or otherwise misbehaves, please let me know16:14
cjwatsonIf it completely explodes, SMS me16:14
cjwatson(To the point where development is impeded, I mean)16:14
skaetcjwatson,  do we want to just hold off for a day then?16:15
* skaet thinking most of the problems are going to be in first 24 hours16:15
cjwatsonNah, I'm just as happy for more of the attempts to involve people who aren't me16:15
cjwatsonSince I've already used the new client myself quite a bit16:15
cjwatsonIf for some bizarre reason there are things that are requesting-user-dependent, I'd like to know16:16
cjwatsonFor example I'd certainly like at least one attempt at accepting an upload to main to be from somebody who's in ubuntu-archive but not in ubuntu-core-dev16:16
bdmurrayScottK: for some reason the changes file has no Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed16:23
bdmurrayhttps://launchpadlibrarian.net/106865775/visualvm_1.3.2-0ubuntu2.1_source.changes16:23
bdmurrayI maybe shouldn't have accepted it then16:24
Laneytumbleweed: ^^^^^16:25
seb128hum16:25
Laneyborked DEB_VENDOR16:25
seb128do we have a standard way to deal with regression that entered <release>-updates,security?16:26
seb128we have an xorg segfault bug which is likely a regression from the recent SRU which got included in the recent -security update as well16:26
ScottKThen it'll have to have a -security update and that'll get propogated to -udpates.16:30
ScottKI'd talk to the security team.16:30
seb128sbeattie, ^16:32
sbeattieseb128: what bug number?16:32
seb128sbeattie, bug #102151716:33
ubot2Launchpad bug 1021517 in xorg-server "Xorg-server crashes reproducible with GIMP usage" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/102151716:33
seb128sbeattie, trying to get the #ubuntu-x guys on it but mlankhorst is not feeling well, cnd said he will have a look16:33
seb128sbeattie, it's likely a fallout from -0ubuntu10.316:34
ScottKbdmurray: Thanks.  I think that makes it not the scripts fault.16:38
* ScottK releases is then.16:39
ScottKis/it16:40
sbeattieseb128: are they likely just to revert the -0ubuntu10.3 patch at this point or strictly trying to debug and fix?16:40
seb128sbeattie, I'm trying to get a sense of that16:41
stgraberskaet: hmm, I guess I'll have to start to worry about oversizedness of the 12.04.1 images as it's not going to be as trivial to fix when stuff need to be fixed in -proposed/-updates ...17:30
skaetstgraber, ack.17:31
cjwatsonstgraber: I think there's still an outstanding not-yet-implemented in livecd-rootfs/live-build whereby it doesn't have the thing we used to do in livecd-rootfs to make sure there's only one ABI version of linux-headers in the image17:41
cjwatsonprobably doesn't help17:41
stgrabercjwatson: hmm, indeed. kernel headers should compress pretty well, but that's certainly still not helping17:51
skaetDaviey,  where should we be picking up arm server image from?   not seeing it: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/20120716/17:51
skaetand last preinstalled version was 062717:51
ogra_skaet, preinstalled fails atm (for unresearched reasons), we were actually waiting for the squashfs switch on x86 to then move on with it17:53
skaetogra_,  what's the outlook on the squashfs switch?   and where will the images be going?17:54
skaetie.   shouldn't they be picked up with the dailies now,  rather than under pre-installed?17:54
ogra_like for the switch on desktop from /daily-preinstalled to /daily-live the images will move from server/daily-preinstalled to server/daily17:55
ogra_arm is not enabled yet for normal daily server builds we're waiting for the switch here17:56
skaetok,  had the right mental model at least ;)  who are you waiting on for the switch?17:56
ogra_some announcement on -release or a ping from either colin or Daviey that it happened on x8617:57
skaetogra_, who's been doing the work for the switch?18:01
* skaet figures this needs sorting before we get into next week.18:01
ogra_skaet, Daviey and cjwatson worked on the squashfs stuff i think18:02
ogra_not sure where it stands18:02
* ogra_ has to go now ...18:03
infinitycjwatson: Oh, bah, we didn't port that hack over?  Should be trivial, I guess.18:09
skaetinfinity,  you on the squashfs stuff?18:35
skaetor know what the plan should be here?18:36
bdmurrayslangasek, infinity, whoever: we'd talked about sorting the pending sru report by days in proposed should it go from 1 -> 1000 or 1000 -> 118:59
slangasekbdmurray: I think oldest first makes most sesne18:59
slangaseksense18:59
* ScottK was going to say 7 -> 1000, 1 - 6.19:00
ScottKThat could just be me being contrary though.19:00
infinitybdmurray: Oldest first seems sanest to me too.19:05
infinitybdmurray: Ultimately, direction doesn't matter as much as the sorting, though, we should all be good enough at detecting patterns to figure out where "old" and "new" are, if there's a pattern at all. :P19:05
infinityskaet: squashfs stuff?  Oh, you mean for server?  No, I've been staying out of that one.19:06
infinityskaet: But I could look into the multiple kernels issue on precise, since that's a bit of a nasty regression.19:07
skaetinfinity,  thanks.    Please do.    Will wait for cjwatson or Daviey to shed some light then...19:08
stgrabercjwatson: apparently the parsing of the image name in post-qa for precise doesn't quite work. I "think" the following diff will fix it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095401/19:18
stgraberoh and I still need to change the value of $image to strip the release from the path (or tweak the expressions to match /$dist/ too)19:19
slangasekDaviey: is there a blueprint which tracks the work you're doing on server squashfs?19:21
Davieyslangasek: there is not.19:55
slangasekDaviey: ok19:57
skaetDaviey,  since there are dependencies on the work emerging,  can it be added to one of the existing blueprints, so we can minimize surprises please.19:58
Davieyskaet: TBH, i don't /think/ there is anything left.. cjwatson had the baton last, so i'd need to check if there is anything outstanding.20:00
Davieyie, i wouln't know what WI's to raise at this stage.20:00
skaetDaviey,  well,  it does seem to be the blocker on Ubuntu Server images for ARM at this point, so getting this sorted needs to happen.20:02
Davieyskaet: I'll discuss with cjwatson was is left.. when he next shows.20:05
skaetthanks Daviey20:05
skaethttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseManifest/12.04.1 has been posted,  which should contain what is possible target for 12.04.1.20:36
* skaet needs to confirm with the signoff contacts that there will be 12.04.1 participation20:37
infinityskaet: I think netboot armhf+highbank should probably end up in that list too, but I suppose there's no point until the right bits are actually landed to make it happen.20:45
skaetinfinity,  yes.20:46

tumbleweedLaney: what are you ^^^ing me for?21:16
Laneyyou sponsored the upload in question21:17
infinityLaney: Wait, the close header is only added if vendor is ubuntu?  That seems silly.21:23
infinityLaney: Unless DAK actually explodes on the unknown field (which seems unlikely), what's the harm in having it in the .changes?21:24
infinity(And DAK obviously doesn't explode on it, because http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/initramfs-tools/news/20120709T173229Z.html was accepted just fine)21:25

cjwatsonstgraber: post-qa> looks fair21:49
skaetcjwatson,  it appears to be the blocker reason why we haven't had ARM server images for a couple of weeks now - is there a workaround?21:49
cjwatsonskaet: No.21:49
skaetso we can get the testing infrastructure working again>?21:49
cjwatsonNot my fault somebody jumped the gun. :-P21:50
skaetcjwatson,  ahhh,  understood.21:50
cjwatsonI've made no firm promises about dates at any point, as far as I know :-)21:50
* infinity wasn't aware this gun had been jumped.21:50
infinityMaybe I should be happy that I've been unaware.21:50

skaetROAF, ^22:12
cjwatsonWell, 'queue -s quantal -Q unapproved accept' worked22:14
cjwatsonHmm, one thing that occurs to me is that I bet P-a-s won't work properly22:15
cjwatsonSince the appservers don't have a copy of it22:16
cjwatsonI may have to move forward the work to get that into the DB22:16
cjwatsonskaet: ^- want to try that one?22:16
slangasekskaet: ok, so the hangout exploded my laptop22:17
skaetcjwatson,  as soon as I get out of the meeting.   will do if noone beats me to it.22:17
slangasekafter two reboots and manually killing the GoogleTalk plugin that took over my desktop, I'm trying again22:18
skaetslangasek,  ack.  :(22:18
infinitycjwatson: I thought wgrant (or you?) had done some work to make sure P-a-s was respected everywhere.22:20
cjwatsoninfinity: No.  I've made the code changes locally, but wgrant pointed out that in order for it to actually work I was going to have to arrange for appservers to know about the contents of P-a-s, and the preferred way to do that is to write a job to import it into the database.22:25
cjwatsonThen one of the script servers will need to have a bzr checkout but that's it.22:26
cjwatsonFortunately the side-effects of P-a-s not being respected are generally along the lines of "annoying" rather than "OMG".22:27
cjwatson(As we know because they already aren't respected for copy archives, manual accepts from the queue, direct copies (i.e. most PackageCopyJobs), and a corner case when initialising new series.)22:28
cjwatsoninfinity: bug 56475922:28

skaetinfinity,  I'm spotting kde-runtime in the queue,  let me see what happens when I try that one.22:54
* skaet has permissions like the bot. :/22:55
cjwatsonWell, for upload.  Queue admin should be independent.22:56
skaethmm...  got the accepted message on my terminal but not seeing it showing up on the IRC channel.22:57
cjwatsonIt takes a minute or two.22:57
skaetand there we go22:58
cjwatsonGood.  That's the only specific test I wanted to do; I suggest people just shoot on sight for a while when they see unapproved entries.22:58
cjwatsonI'll have a look through -changes at some point and see (a) if there's anything weird there (b) if there've been any accepts with a decent number of bugs.22:59
skaetcjwatson.  ok.   Let us know if we can turn this off before Thursday.  :)23:00
cjwatsonThe P-a-s thing above is a bit annoying but not really much of a regression given that it was the case when people accepted stuff through the web interface.23:00
cjwatson(This is why there were weird discrepancies before where sometimes P-a-s seemed to work during freezes and sometimes it didn't; it depended on whether the archive admin was using the queue script or the web UI.)23:01
cjwatsonskaet: Yeah, hopefully.  I assume if I decide I have enough data I can just go ask ops for that myself?23:02
cjwatsonIt's pot luck what kinds of uploads people do. :-)23:02
infinitycjwatson: You can flip the bit back yourself.23:03
infinitycjwatson: (And you could have flipped it on too)23:03
cjwatsonEr, I can?23:03
cjwatsonWhen did that change?23:03
infinitycjwatson: Oh, I lied.  I thought you had joined ~launchpad recently.23:05
infinitycjwatson: (Which, for reasons I don't grok, has that permission)23:05
cjwatsonThat was ~canonical-launchpad-committers.23:06
infinityAhh.  Yeah, I didn't read the mail closely.23:06
infinitycjwatson: In that case, you can ask ops, or me. :P23:07
cjwatsonDistroSeries.status requires launchpad.Moderate.  ModerateDistroSeries is ModerateByRegistryExpertsOrAdmins, which is in_admin or in_registry_experts.  ~registry contains ~launchpad.23:07
cjwatsons/^/Editing /23:08
cjwatson~registry confers all kinds of weird god bits.23:08
infinityIt does, yeah.23:08
infinityLike a slightly gimped duckie.23:08
cjwatsonThe justification for status being massively restricted is nonsense, mind23:09
ScottKskaet: As promised, I was away at the meeting time.23:11
infinitycjwatson: Wasn't there some waffling about the world exploding if one made a series supported by accident, and then dropped back to devel?23:11
cjwatsonSounds like handwaving to me ...23:11
infinitycjwatson: Though, I suspect that if that was ever true, it really shouldn't be anymore.23:11
cjwatsonAt one point there was a bit of badness if you have multiple development series, but dogfood's in that state and it works OK.23:12
skaetScottK,  I'm going to schedule something for a morning later this week for those who couldn't make the afternoon slot.   Prob on Thursday.   Any times to avoid?23:12
cjwatsonI suppose setting precise to development would be kind of bad, but I think the distribution owner can be trusted not to be that stupid.23:13
ScottKskaet: After 9AM Eastern any day that's not tomorrow should work.23:13
cjwatsonIt could potentially cause the indices to be republished, but it wouldn't be massive mirror churn, just annoying.23:13
skaetScottK,  thanks.23:13
ScottKSo what 'plugins' do I need to install to make a hangout work in Chromium?23:16
skaetScottK,  not sure,  am using it from Firefox myself.   Let me know if you want to do a test at some point before then.23:20
ScottKOK.  Will do.23:20
ScottKSo far it's insisting I install some binary blob from Google.23:34
RAOFYeah, I think hangouts require that blob.23:35
ScottKSigh.23:38
ScottKNot installing that on the production laptop.  I guess I need to get the netbook fired up.23:39
