stgraberThe plan is to switch images to building from -updates today, though we'll need quite a few more tricks to have them really usable, so it might have to wait till tomorrow or we'll be building an oversized batch with broken upgrade path14:06
stgraber#topic Quick look through the current bug lists, checking for progress.14:06

stgraberNot going to paste stats this time as it's not as relevant at this stage.14:07
stgraberVerification and fixes of any detected regression should be the main focus at this point.14:07
stgraberWe're at least still waiting on maas and eglibc at this point, these need to be in -proposed by 21:00 UTC today at the latest and might still be getting their exception declined if it's considered too dangerous at this point.14:07
stgraberI'm currently trying to get our alternate image to allow for internet-less upgrades from 10.04 to 12.04, this might require some extra shuffling and uploading later today14:08
stgraberas a general rule, if you want something in 12.04.1, upload it to the queue. It's easier for us to then review it here and grant or decline the exception. Poking #ubuntu-release might also make things go a bit faster (if we missed an upload)14:08
stgraberany critical bugs that need some hilighting?14:09

stgraberThe recent live-build fixes have made both amd64 and amd64+mac fit again14:11
smartboyhwYeah!14:11
stgraberi386 will need some fixing as it's including an extra langpack making it oversized at the moment14:11
stgrabera simple seed change didn't do the trick, so we'll likely need to hack it around in live-build14:12
stgraberI'll be looking into that once I'm done fixing the upgrade bug14:12
skaet:)14:12
stgraberAs far as I know, all the other images currently fit, so unless some packages in -proposed got a big size increase, we should be fine14:12

skaetDaily images will be switching from being built based on  -proposed to being built based on -updates after 2100 today.14:17
skaetRelease Note framework and initial edit for 12.04.1 set up was done.14:17
skaetRelease Notes are available for updates now.   Fixed bugs have been pruned out and the original 12.04 versions have been archived off.   Plan this time around is to make the release notes reflective of the 12.04.1 image, and include changelogs.   To make edits (adding bugs, documenting new features added since 12.04),  please edit the appropriate wiki linked to from: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseN14:17
skaetotes14:17
skaetFor example: if there is a new server feature for 12.04.1,  a note should go into: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuServer  (the original version for 12.04 is at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuServer/UbuntuServer-12.04)14:17

stgraberright, so I've been working on that upgrade bug with slangasek yesterday. I managed to get it working locally but now we need to achieve the same miracle with the alternate media.14:19
stgraberWill continue on that today, then look at fixing the langpack list on the i386 daily-live14:19
stgraberI also have a bunch more verification to do as the list is kind of long at this point14:20
stgraberthen maybe I'll even find the time to look at the usb-creator verification failure, though I don't consider this 12.04.1 critical at this point, so if it's easy to fix, good, otherwise, will just postpone14:20

jibelOne request:14:29
jibelWould it be possible to update UpgraderTool in http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-development to point to the version in precise-updates (or better precise-proposed) if that makes sense ?14:29
jibelIt currently points to the version from the release pocket and makes testing versions from proposed and updates a bit harder, and people who are currently upgrading to precise with -d doesn't use the latest version.14:29
jibelInstallation smoke testing;14:30
jibelNothing found for the moment.14:30
jibel..14:30
skaetjibel,  we'll be switching the builds to be from -updates later today,  so probably not make sense to switch now.14:30
skaethowever,  something to note for 12.04.214:30
stgrabermvo: ^14:31
skaet..14:32
jibelskaet, will that pull the release-upgrader from -updates too ? because currently for example alternate is built with packages from -proposed but the upgrader is from -release14:32
slangasekswitching to -updates today?  I thought the switch wasn't meant to be until we're farther along with the SRU promotion?14:32
skaetslangasek,  schedule discussed was we'd be switching the dailies to be built from -updates today,  rather than -proposed,  to ready for final freeze.14:33
slangasekhmm14:33
slangasekexcept that means no more image-based testing of the stuff that's currently in -proposed and not ready for promotion14:33
slangasekand since we're iterating CD upgrade fixes, that's rather significant14:34
skaethmm..14:34
slangasekperhaps we should push back the switch?14:34
stgraberyeah, that's why I said earlier that I'm not going to do the switch until we have a test image that upgrades fine and isn't oversized14:34
slangasekok14:35
skaetlets discuss further in #ubuntu-release then after the meeting.14:35
stgraberI don't necessarily mind regressing with the switch to -updates as long as I know that the fixes in -proposed are correct and will indeed fix the image when they land (or the SRU team can decide to let them through to -updates before the 7 days)14:35

dholbachwelcome everybody to the MOTU meeting16:03
dholbachwe have our agenda over here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings16:03
dholbach#topic Killing off sqlite 2 (src:sqlite)16:04
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Killing off sqlite 2 (src:sqlite)
dholbachanyone here to discuss the topic? :)16:04
micahgo/16:04
dholbachawesome16:04
jtaylorI can probably help out to but I'm not familiar with the situation16:05
dholbachmicahg: can you enlighten us about what's planned?16:05
micahgSo, this is something I wanted to do for precise, but ran out of time, I've repeatedly requested for the removal from Debian without success, so I figure we can push things forward by JFDI in Ubuntu and pushing up patches16:05
micahgwe have to fix up the remaining reverse dependencies to drop sqlite 2 support as was done for applications in main for precise16:05
dholbachmicahg: does this involve major porting work or is it something we could make part of our bug fixing initiatives?16:06
micahgsometimes it's a flag, there might be a little porting work, I'd be fine with dropping anything that requires porting until it's done upstream (I would venture that most upstreams probably have already done this, it might not be packaged yet though)16:07
jtaylorhow many packages are affected?16:08
Laneycan we get a tracker?16:08
micahghttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1138024/16:08
micahgLaney: sure, sounds like a good idea16:08
Laneynice16:08
micahgthe list is much smaller than it was in precise FWIR16:09
dholbachthe python-sqlite rdeps would likely need to go too?16:09
dholbachor rather be updated16:09
* xnox is testing ben tracker file locally16:10

=== cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson
micahgonly about 10 rdepends on python-sqlite16:10
Laneynow that /is/ old16:10
dholbachmicahg: I'm happy to advertise the initiative as part of the bug fixing initiatives - maybe not for new contributors, but still it'd be good to get some eyeballs on it - maybe we should talk after the meeting about what we need to do for this16:11
micahgok16:12
dholbachit doesn't look like anybody has major objections to getting this done :)16:12
* xnox rumbles something about DD and motu16:13
dholbachmicahg: do you feel we have a good enough way forward to getting sqlite out of the archive?16:13
micahgdholbach: I think so16:14
dholbachfantastic16:14
dholbachmoving on then16:14
dholbach#topic update from Developer Advisory Team16:14
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: update from Developer Advisory Team
dholbachI don't have much to report, as I was on holidays16:14
dholbachbut I'm happy to report that we have a bunch of new contributors in quantal already who we're reaching out to16:15
dholbachwe are still looking for new contributors to the DAT, so if you're interested in the social aspects of Ubuntu Development just ping me16:15
dholbachany questions about the DAT?16:15
dholbachok, moving on :)16:16
dholbach#topic review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/BugFixingInitiative16:16
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/BugFixingInitiative
dholbachit looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, so it'd be good to review it and see what we might want to add or replace on there16:17
dholbachmicahg and I will add something about the sqlite situation - anyone else who would like to advertise some necessary work in the archive?16:17
micahgwell, I've got something else, but not for the list16:17
* xnox boost1.50 transition quantal or R-series?16:18
dholbachnow is a probably a good time to get new or reemerging contributors involved as quantal is likely less daunting to run on a regular basis :)16:18
dholbachmicahg: an initiative you'd like to propose or a new/separate topic?16:18
micahgdholbach: initiative, but only for existing MOTUs16:18
micahgnot to be exclusive16:19
dholbachwhich one is that?16:19
micahgghc rebuilds :)16:19
dholbachxnox, I can't give you a proper answer on this, but I could imagine that ScottK might know more - wasn't this discussed at some stage on the ubuntu-devel@ list already?16:20
dholbachmicahg: I'll do the minutes later on and am happy to mention it in there if that suits you16:20
ScottKxnox: R.16:20
micahgxnox: I think we have enough cleanup for quantal without starting another boost transition16:20
xnoxScottK: micahg: agreed.16:20
dholbachok, that's settled then :)16:20
ScottKPick your boost at release open and don't change without a very good reason.16:21
micahgdholbach: yeah, if anyone wants to help, just link to the tracker: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/ghc.html , I think we're coordinating in -motu for it16:21
xnoxScottK: micahg: where/how do we add tasks for R archive opening? it would help to have boost-defaults uploaded at archive opening, same as it was done for Q16:21
dholbachthanks a lot micahg16:21
ScottKIn fact, I'd be inclined to stick with 1.49 until after Wheezy releases and Debian changes.16:21
ScottKxnox: You have to remember to do it and talk to doko/cjwatson to coordinate.16:21
ScottKWe should discuss it though.16:22
micahgthere's a wiki page for archive opening tasks16:22
xnoxok. I'll take it to mailing list closer to R opening.16:22
dholbachok - anything else we should be pointing new (or other work-seeking) contributors towards?16:22
ScottKSounds good.16:22
micahgfix Debian RC bugs so wheezy can release :)16:22
dholbachalright, I guess we can move on then - I'll have a look over it tomorrow again and blog about it16:24
dholbach#topic Any other business?16:24
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Any other business?
dholbachI'm not sure why "Update MOTU/FAQ" is still on the agenda16:25
dholbachI'll remove it - it seems like Bhavani already updated it16:25
micahgo/16:25
dholbachmicahg: go16:26
cjwatsonxnox: Feel free to add stuff to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewReleaseCycleProcess if it's been discussed.16:26
cjwatson(Or is obviously sensible.)16:26
micahgjust a reminder that backports is a great way to get newer software into old releases without having to fiddle with PPAs, get the version you want into the dev release and run the requestbackport script from ubuntu-dev-tools (12.04+), the script will let you know what testing needs to be done16:27
micahgoh, also, did we get anywhere with -backports open at feature freeze yet?16:28
dholbachmaybe a blog post about this would be good to have too?16:28
micahgdholbach: yeah, I've been meaning to set up a blog16:28
dholbachfantastic16:28
micahgcjwatson: can we do backports open at feature freeze yet?16:28
cjwatsonI don't recall.  Wasn't there a work item or a bug or something?16:29

Laneyhang on16:32
Laneyoh, nm16:32
micahgthanks dholbach16:32
LaneyI felt a thought formulating16:32
dholbachLaney, sorry - what did you want to talk about?16:33
LaneyI was thinking the other day about the plusonemaint team16:33
Laneyand how the people there tend to come up with little projects to get done16:33
Laneyit just occurs to me that there could be some sharing to be done there16:34
Laneythat is all, it's quite a nebulous thought16:34
dholbachLaney, do you think it could help to bring up the idea in a mailing list conversion so we could all expand on it?16:34
Laneyi'm not even sure what to suggest :P16:35
dholbachok, I'll try to mention it accurately in the minutes ;-)16:35
Laneyanyway, carry on16:36
dholbachand hope you'll have some free time to find out how we could do something about it16:36
dholbachmaybe it'd already help to mention a few of those little projects to give everyone some ideas16:36
Laneyjust, we could encourage them to send out "this is what we're going to work on this week" updates or something16:36
dholbachyes, that'd very likely help16:37
Laneynot sure how organised it all is though really16:38
dholbachmaybe bring it up on the ML to remind everyone to mention their projects, if suitable? *shrugs*16:39
* Laney goes to #ubuntu+1-maint16:40
dholbachsweet16:40
dholbachadjourned :)16:40

mfischhi18:00
jonowelcome everyone to the Ubuntu Accomplishments meeting!18:00
jonowho is here for the meeting today?18:00
cielako/18:00
mfischme!18:01
jonoalrighty :-)18:01
* janos too18:01
jonowoo!18:01
jonoso before we start, a quick update on the Canonical IS RT ticket18:01
jonoI had a response from Canonical IS about us deploying our service there and they are currently evaluating hardware and resource needs18:02
jonoone thing they made clear is that it is unlikely to be deployed before late Aug due to a data center move]18:02
cielakI have a question in this matter18:02
jonothe good news is that this looks this is going to go ahead18:02
jonosure cielak18:02
janosnice nice18:03
cielakare they going to migrate the server including the U1 setup?18:03
jonocielak, yeah18:03
cielakI mean - after they deploy the validation server on their machines, will shares keep being active?18:03
jonocielak, yes, they should be18:03
cielakalright! I was worried if we'll need to somehow recreate them all...18:04
jonowe are just deploying the same U1 user on a different machine18:04
cielakhm, that makes sense18:04
jonothe sharecheck script int he validation server should reload them all and resubscribe them18:04
cielakyeah :)18:04
cielakthanks :)18:04
jonoand the good news is that while we set this up our existing server can still be serving requests18:04
cielakwon't they collide?18:05
jonocielak, they wont collide so long as only one server is processing the jobs18:06
jonohaving the multiple shares set up should be fine18:06
jonoso we can get the shares working on the IS server while the current server processes jobs18:06
cielakaah, so only one signs the trophies, but all can browse then?18:06
cielakthem*18:06
jonoright18:06
cielakthat's cool!18:06
jonoand then we switch over the signing to the new server18:06
jonoany more questions about the move?18:07
cielaknot from me18:07
jonocool18:07
jonoalrighty, so onto 0.3 planning18:07
jonoso we have a few outstanding MPs to review18:07
jonocielak, did you get a chance to look at the big rename branch?18:07
cielaknot yet, I gave only a brief look ;)18:08
jonoI know mfisch took a look18:08
jonocool, I think should an invasive change will want a look from each of us18:08
mfischyeah I did a couple looks18:08
jonoand then we will need to port the viewer and lens, which shouldnt be much work18:08
cielakalthough it seems to me that ideally we would merge it together with a similar branch for the viewer18:08
mfischit is invasive but using grep and vi it's easy to follow18:08
mfischyeah the viewer merge should be ready to go18:08
jonomfisch, oh did you work on the change to the viewer?18:09
mfischno18:09
mfischsorry I mean should be ready to go before we merge the daemon18:09
jonooh I see18:09
jonoyeah, I agree18:09
jonoone other point18:10
jonowe should also fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026749 while we are doing this18:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1026749 in Ubuntu Accomplishments Daemon "private class names variables should be preceded by _" [Low,Confirmed]18:10
jonomfisch, would you be happy to work on this?18:10
jonoactually that bug is not critical18:11
jonoI forgot it is about vars as opposed to functions18:11
mfischhold on 1 sec18:12
jonosure18:12
mfischyeah I can do that, but it will not affect the API18:12
jonoyeah, no worrieds18:13
jonoif you can assign it to yourself that would be cool18:13
jonoooh18:13
jonowe should also fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102408518:13
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1024085 in Ubuntu Accomplishments Daemon "trophy files use date-accomplished, API uses date-completed" [Undecided,Confirmed]18:13
jonoI am just trying to ensure we focus on API related changes18:13
jonoanyone want to take this one?18:14
jonocielak, which bugs would you like to focus on in 0.3 as we move forward?18:15
jonoI am wondering if it is possible for us to get some assignments on these bugs18:15
jonoI would like to open up further testing in a few weeks if poss18:16
cielakwell, the point is that in 2 days I'll be offline for 2 weeks, so I would rather not assign myself to anything greater to avoid blocking anything18:16
mfischI thought that one was fixed with the big API change?18:16
jonocielak, ahhh of course18:17
jonogood point18:17
jonomfisch, oh it is?18:17
cielakby the way, I am delighted to see Brian working extensively on some bugs out there :)18:17
mfischjono: looking18:17
jonocielak, totally!18:18
jonoso maybe while cielak is away, mfisch would you be happy to look at the daemon bugs and I will look at viewer bugs?18:18
cielakhm, I can take #1033773, this shouldn't take time ;)18:18
mfischjono: unfortately I'm also off and on next week18:18
mfischweek after is fine18:18
jonomfisch, no worries, so I will try and nail some viewer bugs next week18:19
jonoand then we can reconvene around the daemon bugs the week after18:19
jonoand obviously other folks are welcome to contribute fixes too!18:19
mfischok18:19
mfischare we holding this API change until then?18:19
jonocielak, that would be awesome18:19
mfischif it gets stale due to other commits the merge will suck18:19
jonomfisch, I would like to get the API change done before cielak leaves if possible18:20
jonocielak, any chance you can review the API change today?18:20
mfischagreed18:20
jonoand then I will take a look and we can commit18:20
cielakjono: I'll do my best to18:20
jonothanks cie18:20
jonothanks cielak18:20
cielakI agree this MP has to be merged soon to avoid conflicts18:20
jonoyeah, so if we all focus on this first I think this makes sense18:21
mfischI'm flying out on Saturday and have a lot of stuff to do here, so I'll be limited availability this week too :(18:21
jonoI want to dive deep on the viewer over the next week18:21
jonomfisch, np18:21
mfischjono: the date-completed stuff is not in this merge18:21
jonoif we can get these API changes finalized before you guys leave, I can focus on the viewer fine18:21
jonomfisch, ok18:21
jonowe can change that later18:21
jonook so I have one topic to discuss18:22
jonoI would like to add some debugging tools in the daemon/client18:22
jonoso when someone experiences a problem (e.g. the trophy not getting validated) we can ask them to run a command and it gives us all the data we need18:23
mfischlike an apport script?18:23
jonothat kind of thing18:23
jonoright now we often ask people to run through various steps18:23
cielakapport integration sounds quite cool18:23
jonoI would just like to make the debugging experience easier for everyone involved18:24
jonoany thoughts on how we do this?18:24
jonoI have never written an apport script before18:24
jonowould that mean someone can use: ubuntu-bug accomplishments-viewer ?18:25
cielakexamining apport docs might be helpful to recognise what possibilities do we have18:25
cielakbut   ubuntu-bug   would probably work18:25
cielakalthough18:25
jonothat would be cool18:26
cielakI expect it would report bug in Ubuntu package, instead of our project :)18:26
cielakmaybe this can be tuned up18:26
jonoparticularly someone can select the issue in the debug window18:26
jonoe.g. my trophies were not validated18:26
cielakyay, that would provide an awesome experience18:27
jonoindeed :-)18:27
jonowhat would be cool is if the following happens:18:27
jono * someone files a bug that their trophies were not validated18:28
jono * a script checks if they have an account on LP, checks the remove share, and posts the report to the bug18:28
jonoso the entire debugging process is automated18:28
cielakhang on a second18:29
cielakwhy would it check for a LP account?18:29
cielakto see if the trophy should be awarded?18:29
jonoI was presuming if the trophy that did not validate was an LP one18:29
jonoyeah, so imagine this:18:29
jono * the user expects his ubuntu-member trophy to be valdiated18:30
cielakoh, then this is very wrong18:30
cielakthat means we include trophy scripts logic in our apport script18:30
jono * it isnt, so he files a bug, and the apport script would check the remove share to see if the trophies are there, and check LP to see if he has an account18:30
jonocielak, no no18:30
jonoI am just suggesting we explore methods of automating the debugging18:30
jonothis is just an idea off the top of my head :-)18:31
cielakalright ;)18:31
jonoI am just trying to think of areas in which we can avoid the IRC debugging sessions we sometimes need to have18:31
jonoI dont think we should include trophy scripts in our debugging support :-)18:31
cielakyet the script could simply   ls   the trophies directory to give us an idea of what the user expects and what's not signed ;)18:31
cielakyeah ;)18:31
jonoindeed18:31
jonocielak, I just wanted to present the mindset here of what we can do to make things easier for debugging18:32
jonowe can maybe discuss this more when you guys return from your trips18:32
cielakokay ;)18:32
jonook, so this is the plan so far:18:32
jono * cielak is going to work on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033773 and try and review the API change MP before he heads out18:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1033773 in Ubuntu Accomplishments Daemon "Repeated syncing of unvalidated trophies causes confusing behavior" [High,Confirmed]18:33
jono * I will focus on viewer-related bugs while you guys are away and keep on top of MPs18:33
jono * we will discuss the debugging approach when you guys get back18:33
jonosounds like a good plan :-)18:33
cielakyeah :)18:33
jonocool18:34
jonoany other topics?18:34
* cielak has one more18:34
jono\sure18:34
cielaksomething about the daemon again, but this time more like the UI design18:34
cielakone of the things we postponed for 0.318:34
cielakwhat I mean is the main notification bubble18:34
cielakwhich says 'You have accomplished something!'18:35
jonoright18:35
cielakI guess we may need to reword it18:35
jonooh yes18:35
jonowhat did we discuss last time?18:35
cielaknot only it looks inconsistent with Ubuntu desktop, but it appears we're dealing with the syndrome of 'talking computer'18:36
jonoyes18:36
jonoany thoughts on a better string to use?18:36
cielakwe discussed that since there is quite a lot of options available, we'll do it for 0.3 so that translators will have time to update their work18:36
cielakyeah, quite a lot18:36
cielakobviously this has to be an affirmative statement, with a feel of 'notification'18:37
jonomaybe we can collate ideas on a wiki page18:37
jonoto choose the best one18:37
cielakalright, I can put my thoughts together on a wiki page18:38
jonocool18:38
jonoand maybe mail the list and we can review the options18:38
* janos don't really see what's so wrong with 'You have accomplished something!' ...18:38
cielakalright!18:38
jonocielak, did you want to explain to janos your concerns here?18:39
janosjono cielak you can do later, that was just me wondering out loud18:39
cielakwell, since I'll do it in the e-mail anyway, maybe you'll read them there ;)18:40
jonook cool18:40
janosyup, no prob18:40
jonoalrighty18:40
jonobtw, janos, the web viewer seems to be working great for me18:40
jonohas imbrandon contributed the new CSS yet?18:41
janosbtw i noticed meetingology has a command # - action, maybe we could tag some actionable stuff from the above?18:41
janosgood question, wondering if imbrandon is around...18:41
jonohe might not be online now18:41
jonoyeah, I need to learn meetingology more :-)18:41
jonook cool, I guess we will wrap it18:41
jonothanks for joining the meeting folks!18:42
jonothe road to 0.3 continues!18:42
jonothanks for all of your wonderful efforts!18:42
cielakthanks everyone :)18:42
