| ksbalaji | Now-a-days somehow I feel that a few persons have left from the development team. This is not to hurt anybody please. A lot of unstabilities in LTS 10.04 could be the reason to feel this way | 02:30 |

| imjustmatthew | If there's a working patch for a bug on Launchpad, how do I go about getting it merged and packaged for precise? | 21:06 |
| ScottK | imjustmatthew: First it has to get fixed on quantal. | 21:08 |
| ScottK | Needs a debdiff for quantal attached to the bug and then subscribe ubuntu-sponsors. | 21:08 |
| imjustmatthew | ScottK: Okay, I'll try that, thanks | 21:11 |

| infinity | imjustmatthew: What's the bug? | 21:40 |
| infinity | imjustmatthew: (A debdiff isn't strictly necessary, if the patch is clear and obviously correct, I'd be happy to sponsor it) | 21:40 |
| imjustmatthew | infinity: Bug #809221 | 22:01 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 809221 in mountall (Ubuntu) "unable to mount ceph root at boot due to stripping of trailing slashes" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/809221 | 22:01 |
| imjustmatthew | I think I've built a correct debdiff, but it may be against precise; I dget'ed the quantal package, but the chagnelog tool labeled it as precise and I didn't feel confident enough to change it | 22:02 |
| ScottK | imjustmatthew: the current release is the default in debchange (the changelog tool). It's independent of the contents of the package. | 22:11 |
| infinity | imjustmatthew: Why have the conditional strip_slashes in the ceph branch of the if? | 22:11 |
| === mcclurmc is now known as mcclurmc_away | ||
| infinity | imjustmatthew: Are there situations where it's correct to strip ceph slashes? | 22:12 |
| infinity | imjustmatthew: (Seems to me that if 127.0.0.1:/ is valid, then 127.0.0.1:/foo/ would also be valid, but your patch you unnecessarily strip the latter?) | 22:12 |
| infinity | s/strip/strips/ | 22:12 |
| infinity | But I don't know ceph, so maybe :/foo/ isn't valid, but :/foo is? | 22:13 |
| infinity | (If so, then wow, that's a pretty awful design for a UI to make :/foo/ invalid, but :/ valid...) | 22:13 |
| imjustmatthew | infinity: Both <host>:/foo and <host>:/foo/ are valid, but <host>: is never valid | 22:19 |
| infinity | imjustmatthew: Check, hence why I'm questioning why you'd ever strip_slashes. | 22:19 |
| infinity | + devlen = strlen(mnt->device); | 22:20 |
| infinity | + if ( devlen < 2 || strcmp(mnt->device + (devlen - 2), ":/")) { | 22:20 |
| infinity | + strip_slashes (mnt->device); | 22:20 |
| infinity | ^-- That bit. | 22:20 |
| infinity | + } | 22:20 |
| === cpg|away is now known as cpg | ||
| imjustmatthew | infinity: For some reason the original code had a strip slashes in it, I don't know why it would ever be necessary | 22:21 |
| infinity | The first part of the conditional is equally confusing to me. if (devlen < 2) strip_slashes() would assume that the device is "/" and you're reducing it to an empty string. Is that sane? | 22:21 |
| infinity | The original code is for dealing with other dev types, where stripping slashes from the end makes sense. But once you've added the (! strncmp (mnt->type, "ceph", 4)) conditional, I'm struggling to see why it has a branch that still sometimes strips. | 22:22 |
| infinity | Oh, I just realised you're not the author of the original patch. That doesn't help here. ;) | 22:23 |
| imjustmatthew | infinity: You're probably right that it's never necessary | 22:23 |
| infinity | If only damoxc were around. I guess I'll follow up to the bug. | 22:23 |
| imjustmatthew | infinity: yes, but I'm also the one who wants it in the repos so I don't have to maintain a custom package :) | 22:24 |
| infinity | Well, I would sponsor it without that conditional, but I'd prefer to talk to Damien to get his rationale for why it's there, first. | 22:24 |
| infinity | So, let's see if he responds if I comment on the bug. | 22:25 |
| imjustmatthew | okay, you have my e-mail, shoot me a line if there's something you need to get it finished | 22:25 |
| imjustmatthew | thanks for your help | 22:25 |
| infinity | imjustmatthew: Is "/" ever a valid device for ceph? | 22:26 |
| infinity | (Looking at the first part of the conditional...) | 22:26 |
| imjustmatthew | infinity: yes :/ mounts the entire filesystem, everything else is a subdirectory mount | 22:30 |
| infinity | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/809221/comments/4 | 22:31 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 809221 in mountall (Ubuntu) "unable to mount ceph root at boot due to stripping of trailing slashes" [Medium,Triaged] | 22:31 |
| infinity | Commented on the bug. We'll see if Damien (or someone else who understands it) responds. | 22:32 |
| infinity | I don't like applying patches "blind" unless the code is obviously correct to me, and this looks a tiny bit wonky to me. | 22:32 |
| infinity | (The rest of the code is obvious and straightforward, mind you) | 22:32 |
| imjustmatthew | infinity: np, I understand completely | 22:37 |
