mgzxnox: lets do it15:03
xnoxmgz: i've read all the README and README_DEPLOYMENTS info. Roughly, my understanding is sudo into pkg_import user, schroot into quantal, source / update path to include the magic scripts directory & run those.15:08
xnoxmgz: but for example, i'm not quite sure what requeue_package --full will do and whether it is "safe" to run on out of date packages.15:08
xnoxmgz: also I'm curious about what will need to be done at s-series opening.15:09
mgz--full is not safe as such15:09
xnoxthat was my thinking.15:09
mgzas it discards all existing history, and attempts to recreate it from what's published15:09
xnoxthat's not what I want =)15:10
mgzgenerally packages are out of date for one of two reasons:15:10
mgz* a bug or limitation of some kind in constructing the history from a certain point, often packaging error, has also been stuff like lack of support of latest .xz format changes15:11
mgz* some history got rewritten after an import ran, so the importer can't reconcile what it has with what now exists15:12
mgzreally #2 is just a subcase of #1. but #2 is the only kind where --full might actually fix things15:13
xnoxI think I have a latter case, where --full might actually help. All revisions were committed by pkg-importer only, ye15:13
xnoxyet the latest upload by me, is not being imported.15:14
xnoxmgz: has anything been done after raring switched to uploads to -proposed with a copy to -release? as I bet the importer is going crazy with packages appearing & disappearing in -proposed.15:14
xnoxand later reappearing in -releases (as this is the course of the events usually)15:14
mgznothing has been done, and that does sound like it might break things15:15
cjwatsonwell, *usually* they disappear in -proposed and appear in release in the same publisher cycle15:15
xnoxcjwatson: sure, unless is haskell and it's in -proposed for a while before it migrates, or if the package is huge and takes time to build on armhf, by which time the source package in -proposed is published already.15:16
cjwatsonif it's in -proposed for a while before it migrates then it hasn't disappeared from -proposed15:16
cjwatsonand how long it takes to build has no bearing on the relative timing of disappearance from -proposed vs. appearance in release15:17
xnoxok.15:19
cjwatsonif that *is* the problem then it's plain bad luck on when proposed-migration finishes15:20
cjwatsonif it happens to finish very close to the start of the publisher then it might race in that particular way.  but it's not clear whether that is in fact the problem anyway :)15:20
xnoxright. I just wonder how come we have 417 packages failing with bug 714622, with some of them fairly straight forward (e.g. lp:ubuntu/libsemanage where nobody but package-importer has touched the branches)15:21
_mup_Bug #714622: import fails when lp branch has been push --overwrite'n <Ubuntu Distributed Development:Confirmed for canonical-bazaar> < https://launchpad.net/bugs/714622 >15:21
xnoxand there was no --overwrite.15:21
mgzthat does sound like something else is tickling that symptom15:22
xnoxmgz: let me run pkg-import here locally for libsemanage to see if there are any other bugs with it, and if there aren't I'll just requeue full it.15:25
mgzxnox: on the updates needed for S front, I got myself in a muddle last time, there's a thread on the udd list from October you can refer to15:41
mgzin short, there are just some hardcoded values in lp:udd to change15:41
mgzpart of the release process should be stopping the importer before release, then enabling again after the copy-over script has finished15:41
xnoxmgz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewReleaseCycleProcess only has "notify to restart package-import" Can you expand that check-list with other steps that are needed to be done?15:49
mgzwiki/sso is being slow over letting me log in...15:54
mgzxnox: done. also updated ReleaseProcess page16:07
xnoxmgz: cjwatson: let's see if I can do those bzr importer tasks this release.16:37
* xnox has access to jubany ;-)16:37
mgzsounds good to me16:41
