| coolbhavi | ajmitch, ping | 07:24 |
|---|---|---|
| ajmitch | coolbhavi: hi | 07:34 |
| coolbhavi | ajmitch, should we go ahead with a small informal status update meet here? | 07:35 |
| ajmitch | if you wish, though there won't be much to talk about :) | 07:36 |
| coolbhavi | because I hadnt had the time to update agenda | 07:36 |
| ajmitch | I haven't seen any response on-list about meeting today | 07:36 |
| coolbhavi | yes so | 07:36 |
| coolbhavi | I had only one update | 07:36 |
| coolbhavi | lintian with arb profile is in place now | 07:37 |
| ajmitch | yep, I saw that | 07:37 |
| coolbhavi | and i have updated the spec on the same | 07:37 |
| ajmitch | I'll try & use that to do a pass over everything in the queue & put the results up | 07:37 |
| coolbhavi | sure :) feedback is welcome :-) | 07:38 |
| ajmitch | I just haven't spent much time working on the queue or tools to manage it like I promised | 07:39 |
| coolbhavi | no issues ajmitch | 07:40 |
| ajmitch | since my plan was something to track votes a bit better, and run lintian, licensecheck & build binary packages to test | 07:40 |
| coolbhavi | hmm same here so I reported a bug too on the voting system | 07:41 |
| coolbhavi | in myapps | 07:41 |
| ajmitch | yeah I saw that | 07:41 |
| coolbhavi | reg the call for arb members | 07:42 |
| ajmitch | you can set up a poll & get ~ubuntu-dev to vote on it? | 07:42 |
| ajmitch | what we did last time was list the names, and include 'none of the above' as an option | 07:42 |
| coolbhavi | good thing is highvoltage is willing to step in again and forwarded the application | 07:43 |
| coolbhavi | reg ben I dint hear from him though | 07:43 |
| coolbhavi | so that makes it only one person | 07:43 |
| coolbhavi | and yes I'll get in touch with techboard | 07:44 |
| ajmitch | I was hoping ben would be willing, since he nominated himself | 07:44 |
| ajmitch | he has a lot of experience | 07:45 |
| coolbhavi | yes I know but I reached out to him a couple of times with the process and received no response | 07:48 |
| ajmitch | hm | 07:49 |
| coolbhavi | So as said earlier I was thinking of another call in april and try to reach to him and get wendar in | 07:51 |
| coolbhavi | hopefully | 07:51 |
| coolbhavi | so that arb would be in near full strength again | 07:52 |
| ajmitch | sounds good, and those that arent in the arb can still do everything but vote | 07:53 |
| coolbhavi | yes I was thinking to send a mail to app-review-contributors for something like app review week this cycle | 07:58 |
| ajmitch | sounds like a good idea | 07:58 |
| coolbhavi | and help on reviewing the apps | 07:58 |
| coolbhavi | sure then I'll do it soon | 07:58 |
| coolbhavi | the last update I had is wendar has expressed interest to write a mail to app developers that the review process takes bit of time | 08:00 |
| coolbhavi | she said she is willing to come up with a draft soon | 08:00 |
| ajmitch | 'a bit of time' is an understatement, sadly :) | 08:02 |
| ajmitch | I hope that developers are willing to be patient, and I hope that the sandboxing doesn't take too long to implement | 08:03 |
| coolbhavi | yes hope so :-) | 08:03 |
| coolbhavi | thats it from my side | 08:03 |
| * ajmitch doesn't really have anything to add | 08:03 | |
| coolbhavi | no issues ajmitch thanks a lot for the quick chat :-) I'm sure when you return you will rock! | 08:05 |
| ajmitch | we'll just let highvoltage sort out the rest of the queue :) | 08:06 |
| coolbhavi | haha seems a great idea :) I'll also devote some more time to the ARB :) | 08:09 |
| highvoltage | ajmitch: what does the queue look like these days, btw? | 16:48 |
| coolbhavi | highvoltage, growth has subdued a bit | 16:50 |
| coolbhavi | now | 16:50 |
| cwayne | hiya coolbhavi | 16:56 |
| coolbhavi | hey cwayne | 16:56 |
| coolbhavi | hey cielak :) | 16:57 |
| cielak | hello coolbhavi! :) | 16:58 |
| highvoltage | oh hello everyone. didn't expect there to be so much traffic here on a sunday morning :) | 17:00 |
| coolbhavi | hey highvoltage :) | 17:01 |
| coolbhavi | how is it going? | 17:01 |
| highvoltage | I'm doing ok thanks and you? | 17:08 |
| coolbhavi | doing fine done with lintian checks for arb | 17:09 |
| coolbhavi | reading on apparmor | 17:09 |
| coolbhavi | now | 17:10 |
| wendar | coolbhavi,ajmitch: actually, what I was suggesting was a queue flush on everything before quantal | 17:12 |
| coolbhavi | wendar, yes | 17:13 |
| wendar | coolbhavi,ajmitch: we've done those before, with a polite message that we only review for the *current* release, and they're welcome to resumbit for quantal after they've tested on quantal | 17:13 |
| wendar | basically, reject all the old submissions | 17:14 |
| coolbhavi | wendar, seems good till atleast we have our tooling in place | 17:15 |
| coolbhavi | I can do that but the only thing is I am thinking about the feelings of the developers | 17:16 |
| coolbhavi | wendar, would it be ok if I bring up a small draft as a reply to your mail on the list? | 17:27 |
| coolbhavi | as you gave the idea I'm asking you | 17:27 |
| wendar | coolbhavi: don't mind at all :) | 17:32 |
| coolbhavi | wendar, drafting a mail now then :-) | 17:33 |
| coolbhavi | wendar, current release = stable release? | 17:40 |
| wendar | yes, current stable release | 17:40 |
| wendar | (instead of current development release) | 17:40 |
| coolbhavi | ok thanks | 17:41 |
| coolbhavi | sent mail wendar | 17:45 |
| ajmitch | wendar: occasionally there are developers wanting to target the LTS, or are you just going by submission date? | 19:15 |
| wendar | ajmitch: there are some developers targeting the LTS, one even specifically said they will only support the LTS | 19:16 |
| wendar | ajmitch: but ARB policy isn't current release + current LTS | 19:16 |
| wendar | ajmitch: it's only current release | 19:16 |
| wendar | I'm kind of divided on that | 19:16 |
| ajmitch | which should probably change, at least for the next LTS | 19:17 |
| ajmitch | I still run precise on my laptop :) | 19:17 |
| wendar | and it was my greatest hesitation is suggesting the queue sweep | 19:17 |
| ajmitch | yes, I hate telling people that they need to resubmit because of something we didn't do | 19:17 |
| wendar | and, if we had more resources to review packages, I'd go for changing the policy for the current LTS | 19:17 |
| wendar | but, since we are so limited in resources | 19:17 |
| wendar | and, there's really no way we'll get through all the old package | 19:18 |
| wendar | s | 19:18 |
| wendar | staying true to the actual policy is a good way to focus work efforts | 19:18 |
| ajmitch | yeah | 19:18 |
| wendar | we can't dig ourselves out | 19:18 |
| wendar | but, maybe we can wipe the slate clean | 19:19 |
| ajmitch | perhaps | 19:19 |
| wendar | looking at what has been submitted since the quantal release, I think we could catch up on that | 19:19 |
| * ajmitch has to head off to work now, mondays... | 19:19 | |
| wendar | yah | 19:19 |
| wendar | it's for you all (ARB members) to decide | 19:19 |
