jdstrand[TOPIC] Actions16:34
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Actions
jdstrandI had the action for changing the meeting time. that is obviously done :)16:34
jdstrand[TOPIC] Weekly stand-up report16:34
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Weekly stand-up report
jdstrandI'll go first16:35
jdstrandI have a short week this week, with friday off16:35
jdstrandI'm on community this week16:35
jdstrandI've got various performance reviews stuff I'll be working on16:35
jdstrandas well as monthly planning for March (follow-ups) and April16:36
jdstrandI think the monthly planning went pretty well this month (the planning itself, not the work items (which are doing quite well :), which we can discuss in a bit)16:36
jdstrandI have 2 audits I need to do surrounding the SDK and gwibber16:37
jdstrandand I'd like to carve out some time for looking at scopes privacy16:37
jdstrandin terms of March work items status:16:38
jdstrandI worked on getting the Ubuntu SDK/Unity dbus abstractions together last week, and have created patches against our apparmor in the dbus ppa that I'll either upload or coordinate with tyhicks16:39
jdstrandso my part should be done today16:39
jdstrandI am also updating the apparmor.d man page for dbus16:40
jdstrandthat should be done shortly16:40
tyhicksnice! :)16:40
jdstrandmdeslaur: you're next16:41
mdeslaurI've just pushed out the openssl regression fix16:41
mdeslaurand gnome-online-accounts16:41
mdeslaurI'm currently finishing ruby testing, they should go out this afternoon16:41
mdeslaurI'm in the happy place this week16:41
mdeslaurand will pick up another update16:41
mdeslaurI hope to have time to try out the sdk too16:42
mdeslaurthat's about it from me16:42
mdeslaursbeattie: you're up16:42
sbeattieI'm focused on apparmor display manager confinement again this week.16:42
sbeattieI'm still working on some issues with the logging prototype that I've been working on16:43
sbeattieI'm also digging into the mir codebase this week16:43
mdeslaurcool16:43
sbeattieand that's pretty much it for me.16:44
sbeattietyhicks: you're up16:44
tyhicksI'm primarily working on apparmor dbus mediation this week16:44
jdstrandsbeattie: in terms of work items, that leaves the API. will those be postponed to april?16:44
tyhicksI'm still bug squashing from late last week16:44
* tyhicks pauses16:44
sbeattiejdstrand: yeah, likely.16:45
jdstrandok16:45
jdstrandtyhicks: sorry16:45
tyhicksnp16:45
jdstrandgo ahead16:45
tyhicksI've fixed the dbus-daemon segfault that we were seeing and I'm trying to understand some oddness around the dbus acquire permission checks16:45
tyhicksI found one bug in the query code and fixed it16:46
tyhicksthere's still another bug either in the parser or the query code... looking into that more right now16:46
tyhicksthen I'll upload those 3 fixes today16:46
tyhicksthen I'll switch to my last remaining march work item:16:46
tyhicks[tyhicks] dbus daemon, use aa_getpeercon - initial (high) (1): INPROGRESS16:46
tyhicksI've already been thinking how I want to do that and don't think it'll take much work to complete16:47
jdstrando/ (I have a question when you are done with status)16:47
tyhicks(the sizing feels accurate to me, so I don't forsee that work item to be postponed)16:47
tyhicksOutside of that stuff, I need to do some work on eCryptfs performance improvements. That'll probably fall in after-hours time, though.16:48
tyhicksThat's it for me16:48
tyhicksjdstrand: what's your question?16:48
jdstrandI think you covered your work items status, but unrelated to that, did you also see the issues I was having with the output of apparmor_parser -p with dbus rules?16:49
tyhicksjdstrand: Yeah, I took a quick look at that and I still don't have a good answer16:50
jdstrandok16:50
* jdstrand is done16:50
tyhicksjdstrand: I'm not really familiar with the parser code, so it'll take a bit of time for me to get to the bottom of that16:50
tyhicksjdstrand: Can I look at that after the getpeercon work item or is it blocking your work item from completion?16:51
jdstrandit may be something jjohansen can point you at (or maybe it is an easy fix). it isn't super important atm, but something we don't want to release with16:51
* tyhicks nods16:51
jdstrandit isn't blocking me at all16:51
jdstrandit is just a bug that I wanted on someone's todo list16:51
tyhicksjdstrand: I've added an entry in my todo tracker16:51
jdstrandthanks16:51
tyhicksnp, thanks for pointing it out :)16:52
tyhicksjjohansen: you're up16:52
jjohansenjdstrand: is there a bug open on that?16:52
jjohansenwe don't need one, just want make sure if there is we update it16:53
jdstrandjjohansen: no, which was a question I had. how do we want to handle bugs against the ppa? perhaps we could discuss in #apparmor after the meeting (but here is fine if it is an easy answer)16:53
* tyhicks doesn't have an easy answer atm16:53
mdeslaurjdstrand: just write in the bug description that it's the ppa version?16:53
jdstrandlet's discuss in #apparmor then16:53
jjohansenjdstrand: generally I don't care. If you poke one of us, I think that is enough atm16:53
jjohansenI have a short week this week (off thurs, and friday)16:54
jjohansenI will be working on next months monthly planning and finishing up my apparmor wi (labeling, and stacking), and coordinating with tyhicks on integrating the dbus changes into the apparmor-dev ppa16:54
jdstrandjjohansen: based on that, it sounds like the march work items are on track. is that accurate?16:55
jdstrandwait, there was one you said might slip16:55
mdeslauroh? which one?16:55
jjohansenjdstrand: hrmm, I am behind16:55
jjohansenstacking, extend policy language - parser (essential) (4): will be postponed for sure16:55
jdstrandyes, that was the one16:56
jdstrandjjohansen: no worries, I know you've been very busy with kernel security updates16:56
jdstrandI've already communicated that has slowed us down16:56
jjohansenI think we should be able to get the other ones out, but maybe I am being optimistic16:56
jdstrandwell, it's ok if things overlap between months16:57
jdstrandwe don't have to be rigid, just aware16:57
jjohansenright16:58
jjohansenI think that is it from me, sarnold your up16:58
sarnoldI'm working on some workitems this week, juju charm authoring and testing16:59
sarnoldturns out that local lxc deployments aren't working well in raring; hooray for uvt making vm testing so easy (thanks marc :)16:59
sarnold(I think the problem is the usual python-has-broken-everything-again)16:59
sarnoldonce I've made some progress there, I'll be doing the LXC MIR audit, unless something higher-priority pops up17:00
sarnoldoh yes, I'm also on triage this week.17:00
robruis this the settings meeting?17:00
sarnoldrobru: security team17:00

chrisccoulsonso, last week I started looking at automated testing for chromium. i've got some tests running, and i plan to start writing the glue to hook this in to jenkins this week17:01
chrisccoulsoni've also got a build of the latest version of chromium working on armhf17:02

chrisccoulsonthat's arriving in 2 days :)17:03
sarnold\o/17:03
chrisccoulsonthere's also a firefox release next week (which means preparing builds at the end of this week)17:03

Elbrusthat's me19:05
stgraberhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Elbrus/PerPackageUploaderApplication19:05
stgraberElbrus: Hi, can you introduce yourself and your application please?19:05
Elbruswell, I started working on Ubuntu several years ago19:06
Elbrusfirst looking at bugs19:06
Elbrustrying to get them in shape for proper solving19:06
Elbrusas I don't require much software myself that is not in Ubuntu yet, I started to look at request from others19:07
ElbrusI found winff19:07
Elbrus(well first miktex, but that didn't work)19:07
ScottKWhy did you apply for PPU and not MOTU?19:08
Elbrusone step at a time19:08
ScottKPPU isn't necessary as a step.19:08
Elbrusas I am now Debian developer, I switched my own system to Debian...19:08
ElbrusI support Ubuntu (especially on the packages that I monitor)19:09
ElbrusI don't want to rush things19:09
Elbrusbut no specific reason otherwise19:10
Elbrusactually, I haven't much looked into it, I was a DM for a long time and that was fine with me19:11
Elbrusat Debian it takes longer to earn those upload rights...19:12
ElbrusI guess that is it.19:12
tumbleweedDDs don't need to show much to join MOTU. Basically, if you understand the Ubuntu processes and release cycle, and do some work in Ubuntu, you can probably have a successful MOTU application19:12
* Elbrus didn't know that... Daniel Holbach convinced me to get those PPU rights19:13
Elbruswe didn't discuss Motu19:13
tumbleweedit looks like your work in Ubuntu has been restricted to a handful of packages, so PPU sounds like it'd be useful to you19:14
Elbrusexactly19:14
tumbleweedbut if you start working more widely, please come back to us19:14
ElbrusI try to spend my time understanding what I do19:14
* ScottK would be happy to +1 either PPU or MOTU, fwiw.19:14
Elbrusthanks19:14
tumbleweedso, talking of Ubuntu processes19:15
Elbrusyes19:15
tumbleweedare you subscribed to ubuntu-devel-annonce?19:15
Elbrusyes19:15
tumbleweederr, pretend I spelled that correctly19:15
Elbruspretend I read what you ment19:15
tumbleweedoh, and, btw, thanks for your work on motif with graham inggs. he's a local friend, and I see good progress19:16
Elbrusyes, he is good to mentor (because that is what I am actually doing)19:17
Elbrushe knows the content, I know Debian procedures... good combo19:17
micahgElbrus: have you ever had to work with the release team to get something in?19:17
Elbrusin Debian you mean?19:17
micahgno, Ubuntu19:17
ElbrusI think I filed a exception some releases ago19:18
Elbruss/a/an19:18
tumbleweedif you wanted to do an upload tomorrow, would you need to coordinate with the release team?19:19
Elbrusat the current state of the release, I think yes, but to be honest, I would look it up first19:19
Elbrusafter feature freeze19:20
tumbleweedso, the we trust Ubuntu Developers to know what they are doing19:20
tumbleweedif you decide an upload fixes bugs, and doesn't add new features, you can just do it19:20
Elbrusactually, graham was hinting yesterday of getting things in... I responded that I would expect that to go..19:20
tumbleweednone of the packages you are applying for are seeded, so we don't need to get into the more complex freeze issues19:21
Elbrusright... until the moment of release... (scary to me)19:21
micahgit never hurts to ask though if you're unsure19:21
Elbrussure, all leaf packages19:21
tumbleweedre motif, massive build system changes also need feature freeze exceptions (they are risky)19:21
* tumbleweed must mail him...19:21
Elbrusmicahg: that is exactly my attitude19:22
tumbleweedcloser to the end of the freeze, uploads will all be reviewed by the release team, but we aren't there yet...19:22
Elbrusbetter safe than sorry19:22
* tumbleweed stops asking questions19:22
Elbrus@ finalfreeze I guess?19:23
meetingologyElbrus: Error: "finalfreeze" is not a valid command.19:23
Elbrusoops19:23
bdrung:)19:23
micahgElbrus: FTR, Kubuntu not being supported was a Canonical decision, not an Ubuntu project decision, so I guess the project is perfect then? :D19:24
ScottKElbrus: If you were on the release team and had to deal with all the bugs filed by people who file for an exception for every upload, you might not say better safe than sorry ...19:24
ElbrusI wrote that some time ago indeed19:24
Elbrusand I understand that19:24
ScottKIt actually doesn't change much since Kubuntu people did most of the security updates for Kubuntu packages anyway.19:25
ElbrusScottK: sure19:25
ElbrusI meant: reading up on the moment19:25
Elbrusand CHECK that what I have in mind is all right19:25
Elbrusand only when unsure: ask19:25
ElbrusI did that with one of my Debian uploads recently, as I considered it quite disruptive.19:26
bdrungyou can ask on IRC if you are unsure whether it is needed or not (before filing a freeze exception)19:27
Elbrusonly the important part was excepted19:27
Elbrusexactly19:27
ElbrusI am on #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-motu (asking and answering once in a while)19:27

stgraberhi vibhav, we're quickly checking whether the members can stay a bit longer for your application or whether we should reschedule19:41

stgraberhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/VibhavPant/MOTUApplication19:42
stgrabervibhav: hi, can you introduce yourself and your application please?19:42
vibhavsure19:42
vibhavI am Vibhav Pant, a current high school student in India.19:43
vibhavI have been involved with Ubuntu since the ~precise cycle19:43
=== Tonio_ is now known as Tonio_aw
vibhavI primarily work on merges and sync from debian, autopkgtests, ftbfs and general upstream changes19:44
vibhavI was recently told by one of my main sponsors that I should apply for MOTU, and that is what I did19:45
micahghi vibhav, what happened with https://code.launchpad.net/~vibhavp/ubuntu/raring/gramophone2/merge-from-debian/+merge/141277 ?19:48
vibhavmicahg: I corrected the fix, but never got the time to upload.19:49
vibhavIve got some recent problems with my internet connection19:50
vibhavwhich should be fixed by next week19:50
vibhavthat includes 3 more branches (including thoggen) too19:50
vibhavfyi, my upload bandwith is stuck around ~0.5 kbps19:53
tumbleweedthat's painful19:53
ScottKThose of us who started with 110 bps modems, aren't impressed.19:53
tumbleweedheh19:54
tumbleweedvibhav: in your application, you talk about needs-packaging bugs being neglected19:54
vibhavtumbleweed: Not surprising if you live in India19:54
tumbleweedmany of us don't want to bring in too many new packages, because if nobody maintains them, they'll cause more pain than they are worth19:55
tumbleweeddo you have any ideas on how we can bring new packages into Ubuntu without them rotting away?19:55
vibhavtumbleweed: I have this small sketch on this idea19:56
vibhavI was involving popcon and the rate of FTBFS which would calculate a "rotting score"19:56
vibhavs/I/It/19:56
micahgwhy  not just push to Debian if someone cares about it?19:57
tumbleweedthat's what we generally try to encourage19:57
vibhavmicahg: Yes, I was wondering if I could talk to the debian folks aabout this idea19:57
micahgand if no one cares about it, it will rot19:57
vibhavThe sketch is still not refined though19:57
vibhavmicahg, tumbleweed : THe truth still remains, the success of a platform is determined by its application developers19:58
vibhavThe*19:58
micahgvibhav: that's extras :)19:58
tumbleweedI suspect that may end up being solved by alternative repositories19:59
tumbleweedyeah, extras19:59
ScottKvibhav: I've seen some of the sponsor comments that some of your merges carry forward changes that don't need to be retained.  What will keep that from happening in the future if you're MOTU and no longer have things reviewed?19:59
vibhavScottK: I have extensively studied some of my mistakes, due to which my rate of upload has (relatively) reduced.20:00
ScottKCan you give me any examples of cases where you realized you didn't know enough to decide what to do on your own and asked for help?20:00
vibhavI have always tried to reflect on the changes I will be carrying on20:00
vibhavScottK: I dont remember many, but I remember making a sync request for a package I was going to merge, where the change was adding support for a platform which had been then obsoleted by Canonical20:02
ScottKI do have concern that given your history, you don't always know when to stop and ask questions.20:03
ScottKBeing MOTU doesn't mean having to know everything, but knowing when to stop and ask precisely because you don't know everything is critical.20:03
vibhavScottK: I think you are right here, though I have always tried to *not* rush with my uploads20:03
vibhavand I have improved a bit in my struggle20:04
tumbleweedhow much testing do you do before requesting sponsorship?20:05
vibhavtumbleweed: I have an old Dell laptop lying around which I use as a build server20:05
tumbleweedso, you test build20:06
tumbleweedI assume you know how to test autopkgtests?20:06
vibhav(via pbuilder)20:06
vibhavtumbleweed: I now test all of my autopktest uploads20:06
vibhavsure20:06
vibhavtumbleweed: though pitti sometimes does that for me (internet)20:07
tumbleweeddo you ever install the debs you built, and see that they install correctly and/or the programs run?20:07
vibhavtumbleweed: I did it for a recent FTBFS fix and always attempt it for merges20:08
tumbleweed(I don't do this for every upload, but when I think there's some risk of it not working, I do)20:08
vibhavI test syncs only by compiling20:08
vibhavtumbleweed: of course, if the changes don't conflict, I sometimes hold of installing. I just build20:08
tumbleweedassuming we gave you upload rights tonight, would you sync a library package tomorrow?20:08
vibhavoff, even20:08
vibhavtumbleweed: FF is taken effect, I would certainly proceed with extreme caution20:09
tumbleweedright, so what kind of things would make you say no, this is a bad idea?20:09
vibhavs/is/has/20:09
vibhavWE are going to hit Final Beta Freeze soon now20:10
vibhavSo, I wil upload it only if it has some _critical_ bugs20:11
tumbleweedand what if it has new features, and some critical bug fixes?20:11
vibhavtumbleweed: I think I wil request the release team to intervene20:12
vibhavIf they grant a FFE, sure20:12
micahgvibhav: are all packages frozen at beta freeze?20:12
vibhavmicahg: no, the seeded packages20:13
vibhav(that include official variants)20:13
vibhavthese packages do require the release team to approve20:14

stgrabervibhav: I also want to re-iterate what some others said, please slow down, take more time looking at the changes you make and when unsure, please ask someone before sending it for upload.20:21
vibhavstgraber: I will surely try20:22
tumbleweedoh, and good luck with those exams20:22
stgraberalright, well, see you all in ~2 weeks (depending on whether we change day or not, will be decided by e-mail)20:22
