skaetany bugs that need to land for beta2 should get added to http://pad.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-release.  Status will be tracked there and on http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/  (Beta 2 milestone to be added on Monday).15:07
skaet..15:07

Laneyo/15:08
skaetgo Laney15:08
Laneyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-font-family-sources/+bug/104860015:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1048600 in ubuntu-font-family-sources (Ubuntu) "[FFe] Restore "Ubuntu Medium" weights in Ubuntu's binary .deb" [High,Triaged]15:08
Laneylet's decide15:08
LaneyI put it in the unapproved queue already.15:08
Riddelldecision is taken no? it's been uploaded already15:08
Riddellkubuntu has stopped using the ubuntu font as a result15:09
stgraberRiddell: we're talking about reverting the change15:09
popeywe're actively debugging the qt issue15:09
skaetRiddell,  it hasn't been applied.   we're talking about reverting it due to breakage.15:09
skaetI still haven't seen summary of what breaks with it beyond the Qt comments.   Is there anything else?15:10
xnoxcurrent status: no medium in the archive. current unapproved queue status: add medium weight.15:10
Laneyno15:10
Laneythe opposite of that15:10
xnoxoh. ok.15:10
* xnox got confused.15:10
Laneyskaet: various Qt apps get a bold font instead of the normal one15:10
Riddellbug 744812 says inkscape?15:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 744812 in ubuntu-font-family-sources (Ubuntu Quantal) "FontConfig/Qt stack choke on Ubuntu Medium font meta-data (No medium in Inkscape and too bold in Qt apps)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/74481215:11
Laneylike, try the U1 control panel15:11
LaneyI also saw it on vbox15:11
popeyand vlc15:11
Laneyanyway, popey: you have a lead?15:11
popeywe have allocated a qt person to look at it15:11
popeypreviously we couldn't find any expert who had time/knowledge to examine the issue further15:12
Laneydo we have a bug to track?15:12
LaneyI likey the soundy15:12
popeycould we use the existing bug?15:12
popeyor do you want a new one?15:12
popey"medium font breaks qt apps" ?15:12
popey..15:12
Laneydon't mind particularly15:12
Laney744812 makes sense15:13
popeyI will ask for regular updates15:13
popey..15:13
skaetpopey,  are we likely to get a fix today?15:13
Laneyso, let's leave it in the queue until Monday?15:13
popeynot likely, no.15:13
skaetthere are screen shots that have to happen this weekend.15:13
Laneycan they be taken with the non-broken font?15:14
skaetjbicha, ^ ?15:14
Laneyeither way it will be unbroken (revert or fix)15:14
brendandskaet, i get a 404 on the release upgrade dialog?15:14
skaetcjwatson,  ogra_, ^ known issue?15:15
Laneyanyway, let's move on15:15
Laney..15:16
popeyif anyone with deep qt skills on the kde side could help, we'd appreciate it!15:16
popey..15:16
ogra_skaet, the 404 ? havent heard about it15:16
ogra_skaet, though i know that xnox only recently fixed an issue wheer firefox didnt start at all for the notes15:17
ogra_so it wouldnt have been visible since FF didnt start15:17
xnoxogra_: probably means stgraber15:17
ogra_oh, k15:17
ogra_one of my team :)15:17
ogra_..15:17
skaetbrendand,  if this is a recent failure from quantal daily,  please start a discussion off on #ubuntu-release,   probably not the right time to debug it here.   :)15:17
skaet..15:17
ogra_file a bug first place ;)15:17
ogra_..15:17
skaetLaney, popey - so,  we leave it in pending state,  and ask jbicha to make sure to take snapshots from what is in archive right now.15:18
skaet??15:19
Laneyno, he'd have to actively use the old font15:19
popeyskaet, when do you need to re-visit this?15:19
popey(or rm the -M font files)15:19
LaneyI think the only screenshot that might be affected is U1 though15:19
Laneyso depends on whether that's in there15:19
skaetpopey,  screen shots are planned for the weekend based on last communication I heard from him.15:19
stgraberI'd personally prefer that we accept the reverted package in the archive and re-introduce the font only once qt is fixed15:19
stgraberit's a one line change in the package, so not really a problem to flip it back whenever we have a fix15:20
skaetstgraber,  I think that is the path of least surprises.15:20
popeycould that happen post-b2, pre-release? (the re-enabling)15:20
Laneyit can happen basically at any time15:21
stgraberpopey: it's going to depend on how scary the fix is going to be15:21
Laneyas long as the fix is good15:21
popeyUnderstood. I was taking the flipping-bit in isolation there.15:21
skaetReverting seems prudent,  given the timing,  and uncertainty of when the fix will land,  and dependencies.15:22
skaetRevert it is - unless someone yells loudly now.15:22
skaet..15:22
Laneywell, the argument for keeping it in is to provide pressure to get it fixed15:22
Laneyso, as long as this person will work on it regardless15:23
popeyThey will15:23
Laneyok15:23
Laneysomeone accept it then15:23
stgraberLaney: that's odd because my feeling was the opposite, not having the font in the archive was creating more pressure on getting it fixed (as these guys seem to really want it in) ;)15:24
LaneyRiddell: will kubuntu take it back? :-)15:24
stgraberLaney: I'll review and accept15:24
skaetthanks Laney,  stgraber.15:24
popeyThank you.15:24
skaet..15:24
RiddellLaney: being able to go back to the ubuntu font would be nice15:25
Laneyrock15:25
Laneycoming soon to an archive near you15:25
skaet:)15:25
jbichasorry, I was distracted; I'd prefer reverting too since it would be nice to have people contribute translated screenshots15:25
smartboyhwlol15:25
stgraberLaney: accepted. Spent a minute trying to figure out what the +console was for in the previous upload, but couldn't find any good reason :)15:25
Laneysame (that's why I dropped it)15:26
skaetnext topic then...  webapps uploads15:26
skaetI asked mterry to upload the missing bits to the queue,  so we could get them reviewed and decide if its safe to approve the FFe or not.15:27
skaetwebapps-applications 2.4.6-0ubuntu115:28
skaet webapps-greasemonkey 2.3.1-0ubuntu115:28
skaetunity-firefox-extension 2.3-0ubuntu115:28
skaetthey are key to getting the app story working properly it seems,  and we've been swirling on the FFE and feature churn associated with them.15:29
skaetI need a release team member to volunteer to review them, and make sure the implications are considered.15:30
skaetproperly.15:30
skaetany volunteers?15:30
jbichaI'm really not happy with adding more items to the launcher by default without removing some to make up for it15:30
jbichaI've so far gotten no response from Design about what they'd prefer to remove, and I'd like that settled today so that we can finalize screenshots15:31
highvoltageI'm not sure they take your happiness in consideration when making these decisions ;)15:32
skaetjbicha,  we need this decided since its going to affect the screenshots as well.15:32
skaetbeyond the laucher.15:32
didrocksthe list of default launcher icons is sabdfled, it was already the case, it's still the case for the new list.15:32
jbichathe problem is that items won't fit without scrolling off the screen on 1366x768 pixel screens, which is the most common screen resolution today15:32
didrocksso not sure we can really discuss about removing some without some inputs here15:33
didrocks..15:33
jbichasomebody buy sabdfl a netbook ;)15:33
xnoxjbicha: sure retina display?15:34
xnox;)15:34
skaetjbicha,  open a design error on them not fitting.   let me know the number.   Not sure this will get resolved timely or not.  but will focus on it for rest of today.15:34
xnoxthat would be a hell of a netbook =)15:34
skaet:)15:34
jbicha..15:34
skaethttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libunity-webapps/+bug/104031315:35
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1040313 in libunity-webapps (Ubuntu R-series) "[FFE] Update WebApps to support Firefox" [High,Confirmed]15:35
skaetis the other problem here.15:36
skaetsince the volunteers haven't rushed forward...15:36
didrocksskaet: chriscoulson reviewed the patch for firefox. He isn't thrilled about them but thinks it's ok15:37
skaetLaney,  since you understand the desktop implications best,  and infinity - since you're on as engineer for this could you both review the packages and make a recommendation.15:37
skaet?15:37
skaets/this/Beta 2/15:37
Laneyso, we still need NEW and MIR?15:38
didrocksthat's my understanding15:38
skaetyes,  that appears to be the case.15:38
LaneyI don't really understand what all of the different pieces are for, to be honest15:39
skaetLaney,  mterry will help provide context and direct you to those that should know.   You know more than I do about this one,  and its high risk.15:39
skaetso want to make sure its given best chance at finding blockers/issues before we pull it in.15:40
skaetif you have someone else who's opinion you trust on this,  by all means speak up.15:41
Laneyyes, Chris :-)15:41
skaetok,  if you're willing to accept Chris' opinion on behalf of the release team for this,  ok by me.15:42
skaetmdeslaur,  do we need security reviews for the MIRs for these?  if so,  can you help expedite?15:44
* skaet will work with infinity and others in #ubuntu-release channel to follow up on this.15:45
skaet..15:45
LaneyI don't mind weighing in, but technically Chris will know more than the rest of us15:45
Laney..15:45
mdeslaurskaet: probably, yes15:45
mdeslaurskaet: we'll do what we can15:45
skaetThanks mdeslaur,  Laney.15:46
jbichao/15:46
skaetgo jbicha15:46
jbichaI guess this is just a comment, but the GNOME Remix will try to follow along with Beta2 next week15:47
jbicha..15:48
ogra_jbicha, i read everywhere that will be gnome2 based ... is that true ?15:48
ogra_..15:48
ogra_(would be surprising)15:48
didrocksI would applaud *technically* speaking if this was possible, but I doubt it's the case :)15:49
jbichaogra_: where's everywhere? it's GNOME Shell and for this cycle we're also include GNOME Fallback for those that prefer that15:49
ogra_ah, cool15:49
ogra_jbicha, several blogs, havent gotten any urls atm15:49
ogra_i was assuming thats blind speculation, just wanted to be sure :)15:50
ogra_..15:50
micahgthat wouldn't make sense as GNOME2 isn't even in the archive15:50
skaetthanks jbicha.    I'll let you know when we're ready to release beta 2 then on Thursday.15:50
skaetlet me know if you need other information from us.15:50
ogra_micahg, thats why i was assuming this :)15:50
skaetok,  any one have any worrisome bugs that are blockers for beta 2 that they know about?15:51
Laneywhat's this compix/nux API/ABI break business?15:51
skaetpopey, ^ ?15:51
didrocksLaney: it's already in quantal15:51
