knomei can't agree more. i had no problem going to copenhagen paid by canonical, but still i think it was all a huge waste of money00:00
knomenot the whole event, but many of the things00:00
knomeexpensive accommodation and per-diems to start off with a few things00:00
ScottKIf they kept the interval at 6 months, I might agree it was just financial.00:00
ScottK3 months makes no sense.00:01
ochosii think the 3 months is mostly a "distraction" to keep ppl from complaining too much00:01
knomemaybe their rationale is to increase quantity to make up some quality00:01
ochosiyou can't just take something away without giving them something in return00:02
knome3 months doesn't make sense for the xubuntu team. we're barely starting our engines in that time!00:02
knome(and no, i'm not telling canonical should adjust their plans to fit the xubuntu team)00:02
TheDrumsAnd if they change to the rolling idea?  (IIRC, that was just a side comment too)00:03
knomeTheDrums, i belive that would support the 3-month cycle, and i believe that's what ScottK also has in his mind00:04
ochosiTheDrums: you mean rick-rolling?00:04
knomei just double-checked the date to make sure it's not april fools00:04
ScottKTheDrums: It's my assumption that'll be the next announcement.00:04
knomethat would've been a good one though...00:05
TheDrumsThat could make things fun for the flavors.00:05
ScottKI think they'll be unrecognizable when it's all done.00:06
xnoxScottK: online UDS is 2 days every 3 months vs 4/5 days every 6 months. Closer to a sprint than a half-marathon.00:07
ScottKMy current best idea it to remove KDE from the archive and just distribute the different versions from different PPAs.00:07
xnoxScottK: I'm sure there will be people against that.00:07
ScottKxnox: So what am I doing at this first one?  Planning 13.10?  A little soon for that.00:07
ScottKxnox: Then they shouldn't cancel the releases we depend on.00:07
knomexnox, i'm sure there are people against everything.00:08
ScottKCanonical will do what it will do and we'll have to figure out the best way to adjust.00:08
ScottKI don't think they get the right to change the whole release process and tell us we can't change things as a result.00:09
xnoxScottK: i am not sure what will be planned. Now that ubuntu touch has landed out-of-archive one big chunk would be integrating that into raring images. But that's not as important for flavours.00:10
knomeScottK, i can empathize00:10
slangasekScottK: why removing KDE from the archive?00:10
slangasekit's obviously for the Kubuntu team to decide what works best for them, but I don't understand the reasoning there wrt moving things to ppas00:11
ScottKI think that if we're trying to manage a no release between LTS situation, it' simpler to remove everything except kde4libs and then have one PPA per the four KDE releases that wiould then be happening per Ubuntu release.00:11
slangasek(and I'm not sure how that squares with the rules for official flavors / use of Ubuntu marks, regarding everything building from the archive)00:12
ScottKIt's just my opinion, not the Kubuntu team.00:12
slangasekah, I see00:12
ScottKYou mean like Ubuntu touch?00:12
slangasekyeah, like that00:12
ScottKUbuntu brands have been used lots of times for non-archive builds.  If someone wants to make us call it Ubuntu Kubuntu Remix, then fine.00:13
slangasekwell, the standing "remix" language specifically only allows for archive builds, which was my point :)00:13
xnoxScottK: there is more qt coming into the archive (all of Ubuntu touch), and PPAs don't have armhf/powerpc. And somehow I don't think Blue Systems will be in favour of a Remix.00:13
cjwatsonRemoving all but kde4libs from the archive would make a fair number of other things unbuildable due to bindings and such; it's all fairly intertwingled.00:13
ScottKxnox: Blue Systems doesn't control Kubuntu.  They don't really have any say at all.00:14
ScottKcjwatson: I'm just talking outloud at the moment.00:14
xnoxScottK: ok.00:14
ScottKIt happens one of their employees is on the Kubuntu Council, but only one, IIRC.00:14
ScottKcjwatson: I'm speculating in the face of an information deficit.00:15
ScottKIt would be nice if the whole story came out at once.00:15
knomeas always, it seems that the communication from canonical seems to be badly organized00:17
tumbleweedit would be nice if we knew what next week's UDS is for. I see a couple of haphazard blueprints, and no sprint on LP00:18

psivaacjwatson: xnox: ogra_ ^10:20
xnoxyeah.... I actually don't know how the shortcuts appear on the desktop, I take it that ubuntu-cdimage project is better for such bug, as my guess is that shortcuts are added at cd building.10:21
xnoxwait, this is oem. config. it should be there.10:22
ogra_yeah10:22
ogra_and if anything gets added casper does it, not the build process10:22
xnoxi see.10:22
ogra_at least in terms of .desktop files10:23
xnoxogra_: tough chance on having a shortcut if oem-* packages are not installed though =)10:23
xnoxhmm. but it was apt-install'ed.10:24
ogra_right, either unity changes somehow or we dont install the .desktop file anymore10:25
xnoxogra_: should oem-* be on the manifest? it's currently missing.10:25
ogra_i think it should, compare with an older one10:25
xnox(in squashfs or in the pool, that's the other question)10:26
psivaaxnox: ogra_ : this issue is with both precise and raring in today's images10:26
ogra_xnox, in squashfs10:26
ogra_afaik10:26
xnoxpsivaa: oem-config is on the iso in ./pool/main/u/ubiquity/oem-config_2.13.12_all.deb10:26
xnoxlet me sync new images.10:27
psivaaxnox: ahh ok, that may explain why the static validation tests are filing with ./pool is not being present in the images10:28
xnoxpsivaa: right, maybe that should be fixed first ;-)10:29
psivaaxnox: do you need a new bug for that or is the above bug enough to account that? :)10:30
xnoxpsivaa: i think it's best to move that bug above to ubuntu-cdimage project.10:32
psivaaxnox: ack10:32
xnoxpsivaa: where do you see static validation errors?10:33
xnoxpsivaa: are there raring validation jobs?! https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/search/?q=static10:34
psivaaxnox: they are both precise and raring but not published10:35
* ogra_ wonderas if we lost the live-ship seed or some such ... pool is filled by it usually10:36
xnoxogra_: it's interesting there is ./dists/ with usual set but the Packages.gz is empty and there is no pool at all on the cd =)10:48
xnoxpsivaa: i expect installing 3rd party software in offline mode not to work either as it depends on the /pool/ as well.10:48
psivaaxnox: ok, i have not tried that yet. will do in a little while10:49
xnoxpsivaa: no need. Image is borked.10:50

dokoso what keeps the php-horde packages out of raring?11:05
Laneytheir uninstallability11:07
xnoxdoko: the fact that -passwd and -whups need removing. As they depend on 4.x stack & php-horde has moved on to 5.x stack.11:08

ogra_cjwatson, hmm, my ubuntu-touch sync script runs sync-mirrors as the last command, it looks like this doesnt happpen (i see the synced dir on nusakan but not on cdimage) do i need to add a PATH to my script (i thought running it as cdimage the PATH would be set correctly)14:44

cjwatsonOr something along those lines14:48
cjwatsonOr you could just set PATH, which I think is what I would do14:48
cjwatsonNote how cdimage's crontab sets PATH at the top14:48
cjwatsonNot sure why that isn't set in your script in that case14:49

dokoLaney, do you have an idea where to start with the haskel migration?17:02
Laneyit's already well underway17:04
Laneybut there's at least one sub transition17:04
LaneyI've been pulling the latest stuff from exp, rebuild testing and then syncing17:04
dokoI think I added another one.17:04
Laneystarting at the top of the table17:04
Laneyif there's no new package (a sub transition for stuff we already synced), just do a no-change rebuild17:04
dokolibgc1c3,17:04
Laneysome of the things at the top fail to build and require upstream changes (I fixed a few of those already)17:05
dokoand now kaya ftbfs, but as it looks, for unrelated reasons17:05
Laneycheck if stuff ftbfs in experimental too, that's usually a good sign that it needs porting17:05
* xnox ponders if we can automate rebuild tries in a ppa or some such.17:06
Laneyi thought about writing a script to do that locally17:07
Laneyread .ben file, try rebuilding, dch --rebuild if successful17:07
infinityThe biggest problem with the Haskell transition is that people overzealously sync/upload too quickly and let arches get out of sync.17:22
infinityAnd then you sometimes get to rebuild a chain 17 packages deep to fix it again.17:23
infinitySuch a pain.17:23
LaneyYeah, wait for the slowest arch17:23
Laneyyay sagari17:23
infinityUsually, the problem isn't speed, it's FTBFS and people not checking.17:24
infinityBut speed sometimes too, yeah.  Especially when queues are slammed, like today.17:24

infinityLet's drop i386 and give all its buildds to adm64.17:26
infinityamd, too.17:26
ogra_just replace it with arm6417:26
infinitySpeaking of the confusion between amd64 and arm64, I wonder if everyone else is as excited as I am about AMD getting into the AArch64 race.17:27
infinityLike, someone who actually knows how to fab and market server-class CPUs...17:27
infinityI look forward to a future when all our ARM buildds are AMD-based HP DL(mumble)s.17:30
ogra_++17:30
ogra_and then later AMD arm64 laptops with radeon graphics :)17:31
xnoxthe most sold processors in the world are still 8-bit, more than 60% market share last time I checked.17:40

infinity"Why, thank you, good sir."19:12
cjwatsonYou could make linux-* not show in the main tables but still show removal commands for them.  Just exclude in a different place.19:15
infinitycjwatson: Well, I wanted "not show" to also mean "not pointlessly walk bugs", and there seemed to be only one place to do that.19:16
