skaetphillw do you have a question,  or just waving hello?15:03
smartboyhwHe meant a question, he o/ed before.15:03
phillwskaet: a Question15:03
skaetgo ahead phillw15:03
phillwwhat do you need from Lubuntu, you state no update.15:04
phillwIf Julien is busy (and I know he is), I can possibly furnish it15:04
skaetphillw,  email status update to ubuntu-release mail list.15:04
Riddellphillw: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseTeam/Meeting/Agenda/TeamTemplate15:04
skaetlook at the format of the other ones,   just want to know what work has been happening, and if there are blockers/dependencies you're waiting on from other teams (or if you're landing something that other teams may care about)15:05
phillwskaet: okies, he does fill one in each week at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReleaseStatus/Quantal i15:05
phillwI'll have a look at the format and have a chat with Julien to ensure it gets filed.15:05
skaetphillw,  thanks.   Please mail a copy to the list though so others can look at it before meeting,  without having to remember separate paths.15:06
skaet..15:06

mdeslauroh, sorry, I was just waving hello15:09
mdeslaur..15:09
skaetmdeslaur,  ah,  just a hello after the Q&C part started then...   ok,  skipping.15:09
skaetgo slangasek15:09
slangasekskaet: I'm very concerned about bug #101700115:09
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1017001 in apt (Ubuntu Quantal) "package resolvconf 1.63ubuntu14 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: pre-dependency problem - not installing resolvconf" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/101700115:09
slangasekfor 12.04.115:09
slangasekwe have not been able to reproduce this bug under lab conditions, so although it's still milestoned, there's been no forward progress on resolution, and it's a quite bad LTS->LTS upgrade bug15:10
slangasekwith bdmurray's help there've been some fixes to the apport handling that *should* let us capture better info the next time the issue hits a user15:10
seb128hey15:11
slangasekbut we don't know how widespread it is going to turn out to be once we turn on LTS->LTS upgrades by default - it could be very spectacularly bad, or it could be a non-event15:11
seb128sorry, calendar integration is broken on my quantal, I missed the reminder15:11
slangasekskaet: so I would like to propose that, at the 12.04.1 release time, we *tentatively* turn on the LTS upgrades in meta-release, watch for new incoming traffic for a bit, and be prepared to revert meta-release if it turns out to be a problem... and only announce the point release after we've done this test15:12
skaetslangasek,  thanks for flagging.     Would it be possible to do this test when we hit final freeze?   since we shouldn't be changing after that,  and that would give us a window to react before the point release is announced?15:13
gema since we15:14
gema                          shouldn't be changing after that,  and that would give us15:14
gemasorry, hit the wront button15:14
slangasekskaet: well, it's possible, but that means some random selection of our users will get a surprise update to 12.04 a week before the announced milestone release15:14
skaetslangasek,  we could announce it as a candidate?   and make it visible to minimize surprises?15:15
slangasekpersonally I think it would be better to wait until the scheduled date to flip the switch15:15
stgraberthe alternative would be to release the point release at the announced date but saying that 12.04.1 upgrades will be made available to users over the coming days15:15
slangasekI don't see any way to actually message it as a candidate... the users are going to find out about it when their computer suddenly tells them a new version is available15:16
stgraberwhere we set the flag, wait a few hours, revert and then look for what bug traffic we got during the interval15:16
gemashouldn't we be warning them that they may hit problems?15:16
skaetslangasek,  stgraber,   ok,  that will be the plan then.   (was thinking an email to ubuntu-announce, but probably will cause more confusion than solve issue)15:16
stgrabergema: we certainly need to have the bug in the release notes, though as we were never able to reproduce it, we don't know exactly in what state the system is, so we don't know how to recover from it15:17
slangasekgema: it's a tradeoff.  We have a total of 6 reports of this upgrade failure, from an unknown number of early-adopter upgraders from lucid; we have no idea if they're representative of the larger userbase or even how the error happened, as we've tried and failed to reproduce the failure using apt-clone data15:17
gemastgraber:15:18
gemaslangasek: ack15:18
stgraberI'm still hoping to hit that bug during my manual upgrades test, but out of the 20 or so I've done this week, it hasn't happened to me yet15:19
slangasekskaet: sorry, to be clear, which will be the plan?15:19
stgraberthough I'm using clean and up to date 10.04.4 systems15:19
skaetslangasek,  we'll go with what you and stgraber recommend,   put a release note in place,  and make sure we have active monitoring after we flip the switch on release day.15:19
slangasekgema: the other issue is that thanks to the previous security issues that led to us scrubbing apt-clone attachments, there's a good chance we'll never be able to reproduce the bug until we get another report of it :/15:20
slangasekskaet: and hold off on the announcement until we've gathered the data?15:20
slangasek(which is what I'm recommending, but I don't think that's the same thing stgraber recommended :)15:21
skaetslangasek,  not sure I see the benefit of holding off on the announcement,  but let me review the notes and talk to you about it next week.15:21
slangasekok15:21
slangasekyeah, we can iron out the details outside the meeting :)15:21
stgraberright, my recommendation was to publish the announcement for 12.04.1 as the media will be good but stating that upgrades will be progressively rolled out over the coming days. Letting us turn them on for a few hours, then off if we notice bug trafic15:21
skaetalso want to make sure we have a good monitoring plan in place.   :)15:22
gemaskaet: I will ask someone in the team to try to reproduce next week15:22
gemaQA team, that is15:23

skaetthanks gema.   would appreciate that.15:23
slangasekgema: any help reproducing it is certainly appreciated, but I don't have high hopes that you'll succeed in reproducing it15:23
gemaslangasek: we will at least try15:23
skaet..15:24
skaetand since I don't see any more queued up o/,  will go into some of mine,  first of which is related ;)15:25
skaetgema,  is there anything showing up from the daily automated testing from precise that should be considered a blocker at this point,  and can’t be release noted?   (I agree that the left over files should be cleaned up,  but figure that they can be release noted).15:25
* skaet didn't see anything in the report from this week, but wants to double check since we're getting close now.15:25
ogra_o/ ... /me has the general unpleasant compiz question for seb128 :)15:25

skaetbased on discussion with stgraber this morning,  we'll switch to build from -updates on monday,  rather than today,  so if there's any surprises on the monday night runs,  please flag soonest.15:28
skaet..15:28
* skaet sees that ogra_ and seb128 have handled ogra_'s question out of band, so.... continuing on. ;)15:29
seb128he15:29
seb128heh15:29
ogra_*g*15:29
seb128ogra_, to give a more complete reply15:29
seb128they finally put the merge request for merging in trunk up today15:29
seb128so I hope it's really close15:29
seb128they consider it ready to be merged at least15:30
seb128so if no surprise next week...15:30
seb128..15:30
skaetseb128,  The g-c-c patches are still blocked on taking a decision about llvmpipe.    where are you waiting on a decision about llvmpipe from - upstream?   likely to make before feature freeze?15:30
ogra_yay15:31
seb128that got decided15:31
seb128basically llvmpipe is the answer they hopped it to be15:31
sil2100From what I know we'll be trying to get the gsettings patches released tomorrow15:31
seb128so we are dropping unity-2d15:31
seb128and claiming that we stop supporting low end hardware15:31
sil2100s/tomorrow/next week15:31
seb128we will redirect those users to 12.04LTS probably15:31
seb128that's still being discussed15:32
seb128since that's quite a big shift15:32
seb128..15:32
ogra_seb128, how much has that llvmpipe stuff been tested on arm ?15:32
ogra_(or on anything we ship)15:32
seb128ogra_, it doesn't work on arm15:32
seb128as said it's not a reply15:32
ogra_so whats my fallback on the arm images then ?15:32
seb128it's 3d driver or use 12.04LTS15:33
seb128ogra_, I though gles was working on the pandaboard?15:33
ogra_so i should ship 120.04 alongside on  arm ?15:33
ogra_no, it doesnt15:33
seb128:-(15:33
ogra_we cant ship the dirver15:33
ogra_it does once you have (like on an nvidia PC) installed the third party driver15:33
ogra_but there is only framebuffer X on first boot15:34
seb128"great"15:34
balloonsThere *was* a project that seems to have dried up to create an OSS driver for it15:34
seb128well, those questions are actively discussed between PS, Jason, Rick, etc atm15:34
ogra_thats the same for all arm platforms btw, all are like nvidia (even worse most of the time) wrt licensing15:34
seb128so I've no reply yet on what we will suggest for you15:34
ogra_would have been good to have an arm person involved ;)15:35
ogra_anyway, not your prob ..15:35
ogra_..15:35
skaetseb128,  where will this end up getting documented,  since its going to be pretty visible?   (am thinking that the beta release notes at a minimum, but probably want something wider)15:36
seb128skaet, I will have responses to that we will have decisions on what we do exactly15:36
seb128it's an hot topic and still being actively discussed15:36
seb128I will let the release list and people know when we have a decision15:37
skaetseb128, fair enough.   :)   Thanks.15:37
seb128then we can figure where to announce it15:37
seb128yw15:37
skaet..15:37
skaetballoons,  you asked are we tracking things that failed to make it into the previous milestone and marking them for the next milestone?   yes,  its one of the checklist steps for a release to work through all the milestoned bugs and retarget them to the next milestone.   A3 pass is still needs to be finished,  A1/A2 have been done.15:38
balloonsskaet, thank you. I assumed so, I just hadn't seen it happen for a3 yet, so :-)15:38
skaetballoons,  :)  will be finished this afternoon.   Was working on 12.04.1 stuff.  ;)15:39
skaet..15:39
skaetastraljava,  any smoke testing of 12.04.1 images been done?   if so,  any issues/concerns showing up?15:40
astraljavaskaet: Some testing has happened, but I haven't compiled results thus far.15:41
astraljavaI'll try to do so over the weekend, and report back.15:41
astraljava..15:41
skaetThanks astraljava :)15:41
skaet..15:41
* skaet looks around if anyone else has questions (o/)?15:41
skaetIf not,   last comment is that some teams have burn down charts that are starting to look seriously behind.15:42
skaetPlease mark the features that are clearly not going to make it in by feature freeze in 2 weeks.15:43
seb128skaet, stop looking at the foundation team :p15:43
skaetlol15:44
seb128joke aside I'm concerned that the upstart improvements we were said would land this cycle will not15:44
* skaet was trying to be tactful, but there are a few others as well...15:44
seb128it's somewhat a concern for desktop15:44
* sil2100 hides15:44
skaetslangasek, ogra_ ^15:44
* ogra_ thoght jodh just landed a bunch15:45
ogra_seb128, which are missing ?15:45

seb128user session jobs15:46
ogra_oh15:46
seb128I guess some of those will not land this cycle15:46
seb128but having a status update would be good, we have work blocked on those15:46
seb128the XDG_RUNTIME_SUPPORT one is important15:46
ogra_ok if i get you one next meeting ?15:46
seb128dconf segfaults on NFS and ecryptfs regularly without it15:46
ogra_i need to collect info on that15:46
