jdstrandI'll go first18:14
jdstrandso, I spent a *lot* of time on webkit and kde/archive admin stuff last week18:15
jdstrandthe former is mostly done, but I need to follow up with some discussions, etc18:15
jdstrandthe latter is done for now. There is more that can be done, but I don't have the stamina to do it atm18:16
ScottK:-)18:16
jdstrandI'm in the happy place18:16
jdstrandI have a couple of MIR audits left, then after that, recruiting and back to pending updates18:17

micahgI'm still working on webkit, hopefully will see the light at the end of the tunnel soon, I'm also SRUing a regression fix from the icedtea-web in natty/oneiric for sbeattie18:19
jdstrandthat is the only way I can keep it straight :)18:19
micahgas well as the standard mozilla pretesting of the week18:20
micahgI think that's it for me18:20
tyhicksI'm covering triage this week for steve18:20
tyhicksMy focus will be on updates and working a new eCryptfs data corruption bug18:21
jdstrand:\ how widespread is that?18:22
tyhicksIt is intermittent and only happens when downloading really large files, so it will be a fun one :/18:22
ScottKHow large is really large?18:22
tyhicksScottK: I've only reproduced it with > 3G files18:22
ScottKOK.18:22
tyhicksjdstrand: Not too widespread. I've only seen one report on it.18:22
ScottKThe concerned eCryptfs user sits back down.18:23
tyhicksIt is very subtle, too. Only one or two bytes changed in the corrupted file.18:23
tyhicks(at least in the couple times that I was able to reproduce it)18:23
kirklandtyhicks: what bug # is that?18:23

jdstrandjjohansen: you're up18:25
jjohansenI guess I'm up18:25
jjohansenI've got a couple of apparmor bugs to look into, cboltz's profile cache failing reported on the ml, and a no new privs issue from hallyn,18:25
jjohansenWhile I am at the no new privs issue, I'll also look into how to deal with that in stacking, it may require us to carry some information in the stack18:25
jjohansenI've got a qrt kernel security failure to finishing looking into18:25
jjohansenbeyond that I'll be pushing out the 3rd iteration of the current patchset with the locking rework, and might include some of the perm remapping, profile hashing and stacking patches with it18:25
jjohansenjdstrand: back to you18:26
jdstrand[TOPIC] Highlighted packages18:27
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Highlighted packages

jdstrandThe Ubuntu Security team will highlight some community-supported packages that might be good candidates for updating and or triaging. If you would like to help Ubuntu and not sure where to start, this is a great way to do so.18:27
jdstrandSee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdateProcedures for details and if you have any questions, feel free to ask in #ubuntu-security. To find out other ways of helping out, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/GettingInvolved.18:28
jdstrandI pasted the highlighted packages above18:28
jdstrand[TOPIC] Miscellaneous and Questions18:28
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Miscellaneous and Questions
jdstrandThere are a lot of merge opportunities for packages listed in http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/d2u/. Performing these updates is a great way to help Ubuntu and bolster your developer application.18:28
jdstrandDoes anyone have any other questions or items to discuss?18:28
ScottK\o18:28
jdstrandScottK: go ahead18:28
ScottKThe Calligra/KOffice issue is in an embedded copy of wv2.18:29
ScottKWe also have a packaged wv2 that's significantly older.18:29
ScottKThe code in the area of the fix is superficially similar, but the package doesn't build with the patch.18:29
ScottKI was wondering if when you're looking at Calligra/KOffice you might have a glance at wv2 and see if you think it's also relevant to it.18:30
ScottK..18:30
mdeslaurit did look relevant at first glance18:30
=== Zic_ is now known as Guest89846
ScottK(I was in a rush on saturday and heaved an updated wv2 at quantal.18:30
ScottKIt FTBFS.18:31
micahgscottK: that looks like a gcc-4.7 failure18:31
ScottKOK.18:31
ScottKThanks.18:31
ScottKI'll see if I can find someone to help me with it.18:31
ScottK(that or remove the package, there aren't any users for the lib and it's dead upstream other than the embedded on in Calligra.18:32
=== Guest89846 is now known as Zic
jdstrandScottK: thanks18:33
jdstrandany other questions or items to discuss?18:34

cjwatsonanything in IRC logs?21:03

sorenIt seems mdz was to follow up to the mailing list.21:04
cjwatsonIMO this is low priority and we should stop caring21:05
mdzI didn't21:05
mdzOK with me21:05
cjwatsonI can't understand why we're continuing to worry about it; there are many other more important things to do on LP21:05
sorenAlright. Officially intentionally not going to carry this over.21:05
cjwatsonI know we've been asked about it and there is some social importance to it21:06
cjwatsonBut there are lots of other things in a similar position21:06
* cjwatson skim-reading last fortnight's logs21:06
sorenI see no other action items21:06

cjwatsonI don't see anything else carried over either21:07
soren#topic MRE for point release mythtv in LTS21:07
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: MRE for point release mythtv in LTS
sorenhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2012-August/001357.html21:07
sorenIt wasn't added to the agenda, but I guess we can still discuss it.21:07
sorenIs anyone here to represent this topic?21:08
keesI've been pretty happy with the process (I use MythTV myself).21:08
stgraberyeah, would be good to have this approved or rejected soon as they want to update mythtv for the 12.04.1 point release which is getting really close21:08
keesI've found upstream to be good about doing fixes only.21:08
keesI would be happy to approve a provisional MRE; though it would be nice if they had some kind of test suite.21:09
sorensuperm1: Just in time :)21:09
stgraberhey superm121:09
superm1hi folks21:09
stgrabersuperm1: we're discussing your MRE request at the moment21:09
stgraberdo you know what kind of testing is done upstream for their stable release? do they have any kind of automated testing or strong manual testing prior to release?21:10
soren(/msg'ed relevant scrollback)21:10
superm1stgraber: yeah soren just shared with the scrollback, thanks soren21:10
sorennp21:10
superm1stgraber: they have automated build testing, but other than that it's strong manual testing prior to point releases21:10
superm1they heavily push the community to use their stable branch at all times when a problem comes up21:11
sorenDo they have multiple branches, so this is a maintenance branch while there's another one where the dev focus is?21:11
superm1yes21:12
superm1they have a fixes branch for every major release21:12
superm1and a master branch for development21:12
superm1no new features come to the fixes branch for any of the releases for any reason, it's solely bug fixes21:12
sorenHow long are these branches usually maintained?21:13
superm1up until the next major release21:13
sorenIs that time-based?21:13
superm1they're moving to time based now i believe21:13
superm1they were previously feature based (it'll be done when it's done)21:13
superm1but they're pushing features out for later releases if they're not going to be ready in time, and doing development in topic branches to merge21:14
sorenCool.21:14
sorenI don't have any other questions.21:15
sorenAnyone else?21:15
superm1and to be clear, this is just for asking for the micro releases of the 0.25 release (which only one is expected), i don't think it will be appropriate to push to 0.26 ever to -updates, only maybe -backports21:15
sorenOh, one more thing:21:16
sorenIs this just a single source package or do we need a list somewhere?21:17
cjwatsonIt sounds reasonable enough to me21:17
superm1single source package21:17
superm1it used to be multiple source packages, but was a mess to sync up with archive skew21:17
sorenCool.21:18
sorenAlright.21:18

soren#topic check up on community bugs21:21
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: check up on community bugs
sorenSo, given our discussion earlier, I'm going to go ahead an unassing us from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community/+bug/25236821:21
ubottuLaunchpad bug 252368 in Launchpad itself "Automatically associate DD and DM accounts with GPG keys in keyring packages to allow DDs to use the Launchpad Email interface" [Low,Triaged]21:21
sorenAs for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community/+bug/17437521:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 174375 in Launchpad itself "Distribution drivers permissions may need redesign" [Low,Triaged]21:22
mdzI'm having network issues right now21:22
mdzlagging a lot21:22
sorenI'm not sure what we need to discuss here still.21:23
sorenI guess I'm not the only one.21:24
cjwatsonWe still need to get ubuntu-release-nominators out of ubuntu-release somehow; that team is a hack21:24
cjwatsonTo some extent we've just moved the problem (albeit to somewhere less damaging)21:25
sorenI guess I'm not actually clear on what *we* are meant to do here.21:26
cjwatsonSpecify what should be done on behalf of Ubuntu21:26
cjwatsonI think I might be able to take an action to progress this21:26
cjwatsonSince I think I understand both the security model we want and the relevant bits of LP code21:27
sorenPerfect!21:27
sorenGiven that the individual stakeholders are who they are, it seems a bit awkward for us to have to drive it.21:28
cjwatsonBut I currently have a toddler sitting on my lap so not so much right now21:28
sorenWell, this too has been sitting in LP for years.21:28
sorenAnother day won't matter much.21:29
sorenGreat.21:29
soren#action cjwatson to look into https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community/+bug/17437521:29

ubottuLaunchpad bug 174375 in Launchpad itself "Distribution drivers permissions may need redesign" [Low,Triaged]21:29
cjwatsonWe can't in general assume that the LP team understands what Ubuntu wants to get out of their security model - we have to tell them21:29
cjwatsonAnd the TB is the owner of the Ubuntu object in LP21:30
sorencjwatson: Understood. I was rather thinking it would be delegated to the stakeholders on the Ubuntu side.21:30
cjwatsonPlease no21:30
soren..but if you're doing it, we're covered for sure.21:30
cjwatsonWe understand it better :)21:30
sorenVery well.21:31
cjwatsonThe stakeholders are liaisons, not necessarily decision-makers21:31
cjwatson(With that hat on, anyway)21:31
cjwatson(Or at least that's how I understand it)21:31
sorenWell, we'd certainly have final say in it, but it's hard for us as a group to actually drive this issue forward.21:32
sorenBut this is all academic since you've accepted the action item :)21:32
cjwatsonYes; but nobody else really can either :)21:32
cjwatsonYeah21:32
