jbichastgraber: ubuntu-docs should build on precise now02:09
jbichasorry for the delay02:09
stgraberjbicha: ok, looking now02:11
stgraberjbicha: uploaded02:49
jbichalooks around for an SRU team member to accept ubuntu-docs03:03
ScottKbdmurray: "sru-release: comment on bugs when releasing packages to -updates and unsubscribe the SRU team from those bugs" <-- don't we want to be subscribed in case of regression comments?03:04
ScottKjbicha: I'll look.03:04
jbichaScottK: thanks03:05
ScottKjbicha: Needs the bug foo in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template before it can be accepted.03:08
ScottKNeed to have some way of knowing if it passes muster.03:08
jbichaaw, I hoped I could slide one by :|03:11
ScottKI'd suggest the test case is verifying selected updates are present.  Just to make sure the right thing got uploaded. You could give a couple of examples.03:15
ScottKjbicha: I went ahead and accepted based on you'll fix the bug.  Please don't let me down.03:18
jbichaI'm working on it, language packs have their own separate validation process though03:19
ScottKSure, but we still have to have something.03:26
ScottKOK.  I think that's enough damage to the SRU queue for one night.03:48
ScottKWhoever's doing stuff with the queue, it'd be nice to get the python2.7 SRU accepted...04:11
ScottKEasy diff , test case, and everything.04:11
infinityScottK: I admit nothing.04:39
ScottKinfinity: Thanks for nothing then.05:45
infinityScottK: ;)05:53

stgraberhmm, who accepted lxc into -proposed?13:13
stgraber0.7.5-3ubuntu61 should have been copied to -updates with sysvinit before letting 0.7.5-3ubuntu62 in...13:13
stgraberas it now reset the testing period of lxc and so when sysvinit will be copied (in 2 days), it's going to break lxc for all precise users13:14
stgraberthough the fix in 0.7.5-3ubuntu62 is quite trivial, so I guess the regression testing period for that one can be shorten and both sysvinit and lxc still be released at the same time13:14
ScottKstgraber: It was me.  If you don't want something accepted, I guess I don't know why you uploaded it.13:16
stgraberI didn't upload it13:17
stgraberI uploaded 0.7.5-3ubuntu6113:17
ScottKI see.  Who uploaded that?13:17
ScottK(62)13:18
stgraberprobably hallyn13:18
ScottKIIRC that's correct, now that you mention it.13:18
ScottKhallyn: I guess my comment should have been directed at you.  If there's an existing package in -proposed and you upload a new one, that should probably mean you want the existing SRU replaced.13:19
stgraberthe new upload also didn't use -v so the bug list for the package on pending-sru is also wrong (doesn't list bug 974584). I'll make sure to manually track the lxc SRU and nag whoever's on duty when sysvinit reaches 7 days and both should be copied13:20
ubot2Launchpad bug 974584 in sysvinit "Semaphores cannot be created in lxc container" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/97458413:20
stgraberI'm testing 0.7.5-3ubuntu62 now to make sure it actually works as expected13:20
stgraberScottK: I commented in bug 974584, so hopefully whoever is on SRU duty will notice and copy both. In theory that should be during bdmurray's shift so I should be around.13:31
ubot2Launchpad bug 974584 in sysvinit "Semaphores cannot be created in lxc container" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/97458413:31
ScottKGreat.  Sorry for the confusion.13:31
bdrunghi. vlc is in -proposed since one week without someone reporting a regression (lp: #1025713). is it time to get it into -security/-updates?14:00
cjwatsonbrendand: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html says (a) lots of bugs still verification-needed and (b) 7-day aging period not quite up14:01
cjwatsoner14:01
cjwatsonbdrung: ^-14:01
jdstrandcjwatson: are you actively looking at installation-guide? I have an untested preliminary patch to use xml2po from gnome-doc-utils. I'm happy to let you do it, but I can also do it14:02
cjwatsonjdstrand: Yes, I've just uploaded a fix14:02
jdstrandsweet, that'll save me some time14:03
jdstrandcjwatson: thanks!14:03
cjwatsonjdstrand: It didn't actually need poxml at all really since we don't ship any translations14:03
jdstrandeven better14:03
cjwatsonWhich has been vaguely on my to-do list since warty and therefore will probably never happen ;-)14:03
jdstrandhehe14:03
cjwatsonSorry to steal the bug but I needed to update i-g anyway :)14:04
jdstrandcjwatson: no, that is totally fine. I only spent about 20 minutes on it last night14:04
bdrungcjwatson: VLC has a preliminary MRE14:05
* cjwatson has no context except what's on the web page :)14:09
cjwatson(internet-poor at the moment)14:09
bdmurrayScottK: regarding sru-release that is what was discussed in the sru team call and the comment includes information regarding reporting a new bug and tagging it regression-updates a tag to which SRU team members can or are subscribed14:28
ScottKbdmurray: OK.  Thanks.14:32

balloonsdo we normally only retain the last milestone images?16:29
balloonsI mean to say, I can't download alpha one from quantal using http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/quantal/16:29
balloonsonly alpha 3 is listed16:29
slangasekballoons: correct16:30
slangasekthe images still exist, but aren't on the website anymore16:31
balloonsslangasek, interesting..it would just be a link right?16:31
slangasekhow do you mean?16:31
slangasekthe images are not on the server that provides the website16:31
slangasekthey get archived off16:31
balloonsahh..16:32
balloonsok, so if I wanted to see if we regressed on an issue from alpha2 -> alpha 3, what do I do?16:32
slangasekgood question16:32
slangasekso this is ringing bells with me, that there was some previous discussion about keeping the milestone images around longer16:32
slangasekbut I don't remember who I had that conversation with and what the outcome was16:33
ogra_we should keep them public until release really16:33
slangasekwe never have because of space considerations on the webservers16:33
ogra_yep, i understand the tech reason :) just saying16:33
balloons:-) yes, space is a concern16:33
balloonsbut I think the milestones are worth keeping about.. at least during the dev cycle of the current release16:34
ogra_though iirc rick suggested in the "no more freezes" thread that we should actually keep all daily images around in that scenario ...16:35
slangasekballoons: yes, we did not have room to do that at all16:35
slangasekI don't know if we have room now16:35
ogra_so there should at least be more HW in the pipe for providing such a setup16:35
slangasekpgraner: was it you that was asking about keeping multiple milestone images around during the devel cycle?16:36
slangasekwhatever discussion we had about this didn't translate to an update on the milestone process16:36
balloonsWell, I think we could possibly get some help for hosting if needed..16:38
balloonsslangasek, atm, if I wanted an alpha 2 image, does it exist anywhere?16:38
slangasekit exists but isn't somewhere you can get to it16:38
slangasekI can cheat and repost it temporarily to cdimage.u.c, I think16:39
slangasekballoons: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/quantal/alpha-2/ shortly16:40
Davieys3 storage would be perfect for this :)16:40
balloonsslangasek, if we had a mirror willing to host, could we provide official gpg and md5's for the images and link out to the mirror do you think?16:41
balloonsslangasek, :-) ty16:42
skaetslangasek,  Laney and I talked about leaving A216:42
slangasekskaet: well, I didn't get the memo ;)16:42
jdstrandfyi, I'm back to tending to kde in component-mismatches16:42
skaetslangasek,   if space permits,  I'm +1 on keeping all the milestones up and accessible during the cycle.   We do need to change the checklists on the subject though ;)16:44
ogra_at least we should keep $current_milestone-116:45
ogra_not sure having A1 around makes sense if we are at A3 already16:46
skaetogra_   thought we were going to keep $current_milestone-1 around, but it appears glitch happened.   in terms  older ones - possibly useful to narrow down when a bug may bug may have been introduced, but am not fussed if we don't either.16:48
ogra_yeah16:48
balloonsI'm not sure how the no alpha's or milestones discussion goes with this, but having those points in time to help pinpoint issues is useful. In this case, I want to check out alpha 216:49
balloonsogra_ I'm sure can speak to it.. pinning down things like kernel regressions it's helpful to have old versions around to see when the regression started for testing :-)16:50
ogra_balloons, indeed, but yu wont have the iterations between the milestones around anyway and A1 is traditionally pretty crappy16:51
ogra_("just good enough to have the installer work" usually)16:51
skaetogra_,   traditions have been changing...   your ARM bias is showing   ;)16:54
ogra_nah, has nothing to do with arm but with achievability without losing actual development time16:54
balloons:-) I want all the milestones, to help ensure we given the community the tools needed to help us test; specifically when we have regressions. It is very often the case people encounter problems with a specific milestone that didn't previously exist, but without the images it's harder to verify and pin that down..16:55
ogra_it usually takes the time before A1 to actually even make the bits installable and get the installer in initial shape for a new release16:55
balloonsobviously automagically iterating through daily images for regression testing would be amazing.. heh, we should start somewhere16:55
ogra_there is no time to make it shiny at that point of the cycle16:55
ogra_if you want it better, A1 should be released at A2 time16:56
ogra_ro we should double up the amount of developers :)16:56
ogra_*or16:56
balloonsogra_, lol, double devs.. that would make it take until alpha 3!16:57
* skaet just updated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MilestoneProcess checklist to make it explicit to keep prior milestone around. 17:07
balloonsthanks everyone!17:07
