[00:05] <fossterer> Hi ! I removed a patch applied earlier and receiving error as a result. Can smeone look into it?
[00:09] <RAOF> lifeless: So that apt-btrfs-snapshot can work.
[00:10] <lifeless> RAOF: I don't see the connection
[00:10] <RAOF> lifeless: apt-btrfs-snapshot will take snapshots of your / on each apt transaction; you obviously don't want to roll back your /home as well if you decide to rollback
[00:10] <lifeless> RAOF: there are lots of other things - /var comes to mind, which would be equally disasterous to rollback willynilly.
[00:10] <lifeless> RAOF: mail spool, virtual machine files, LXC containers...
[00:11] <RAOF> lifeless: But only bits of /var - it's a good bet that nothing under /home wants to be rolled back, whereas various bits of /var will.
[00:12] <lifeless> RAOF: except for any daemon with a /home home, but sure thats less likely.
[00:12] <RAOF> This could be rephrased as ‘package downgrades are hard, m'kay?’
[00:12] <RAOF> What daemon(s) have a /home home?
[00:12] <lifeless> sure, but the thing that got me was the *default* install makes a subvolume.
[00:13] <lifeless> apt-btrfs-snapshot isn't installed by default
[00:13] <lifeless> in fact, it's in universe.
[00:14] <lifeless> RAOF: daemons with a /home home - I don't know, was a hypothetical, which is why I said 'less likely'
[00:14] <RAOF> AFAIK it's harmless to make /home a subvolume, so you might as well make it one?
[00:14] <lifeless> it's not harmless ;)
[00:15] <lifeless> operations like rebalancing and so on that are per subvolume need to be repeated per subvolume; backups and copies etc with --one-filesystem likewise.
[00:15] <lifeless> Folk *need to know* that this is being done. The partitioner shows what the partition table will be like - so that informs the person installing Ubuntu.
[00:15] <lifeless> But there was zero notification of the subvolume behaviour, I found out when I had cause to review my fstab, and then found out my backup scripts hadn't been working properly for a year
[00:16] <RAOF> Eeep.
[00:16] <lifeless> Thats what I said.
[00:16] <lifeless> Only my version wasn't printable.
[00:17] <lifeless> I had a lot of good backups of everything but boot (expected) and home (unexpected)
[00:17] <RAOF> Unicode has a *lot* of characters :)
[00:17] <lifeless> :)
[00:17] <ajmitch> 'small pile of poo' probably describes it
[00:18] <RAOF> I expect that this is a bug in the partitioner, or at least will require changes there. I don't believe the partitioner understands subvolumes, so it'll need to be taught about them before it can display them.
[00:19] <lifeless> So for clarity: I have no objection to the installer suggesting I might like a subvolume. I have a big objection to it just happening.
[00:20] <lifeless> Of course, I may be horribly misremembering, in which case mea culpa.
[00:20] <lifeless> if I get a little time I'll hand install a VM and see
[00:31] <RAOF> lifeless: Oh, no. It definitely just happens.
[01:21] <arand> lifeless: (randomly read the irclog) I'm not sure if you've read it already, but I've tried to put down the info about the ubuntu btrfs setup over at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs#Ubuntu-specific_subvolume_layout_in_11.04_and_later
[01:23] <lifeless> arand: I saw that, thanks.
[01:23] <lifeless> arand: it doesn't explain why it's like that, just that it is.
[01:27] <arand> Indeed, though the home - / separation tends to be the most common one (except maybe boot), so I guess it makes a bit of sense.
[01:29] <arand> lifeless: I think it was cjwatson who instated it in the installer, so I guess he's the one to ask ;)

[08:57] <mwhudson> backported to raring?
[09:23] <dholbach> mwhudson, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates is what I could find quickly - maybe it's worth to ask in #ubuntu-kernel too
[09:25] <mwhudson> dholbach: i guess it's getting to the point where "wait for saucy" becomes the easiest option :)
[10:12] <didrocks> cjwatson: I know you are at debconf, but answer when you can: I saw that britney didn't block the Mir deps (unity-system-compositor) having a strict version dependency on Mir (latest Mir went in without the compatible u-s-c)
[10:13] <didrocks> cjwatson: as upstream are breaking ABI daily, do you think there is a way for that case to be blocked? If not, if I try using a virtual package based on the upstream version, will that work?
=== wedgwood is now known as Guest52531
[10:20] <seb128> cjwatson, rewording what didrocks said, does britney handle a "provides: <something>" being dropped as "something" being dropped, e.g does it enforce rdepends of something to be fixed before allowing migration?
[10:21] <geser> didrocks: both u-s-c and mir in saucy have the same timestamp in their version right now. so it's ok right now?
[10:22] <didrocks> geser: it's ok right now, but it's released every 4 hours
[10:22] <didrocks> I've block automated uploads during the week-end because of this
[10:23] <geser> didrocks: should u-s-c have also an upper bound version check on libmirserver1 if it doesn't work with newer ones? (currently it's only >=)
[10:24] <didrocks> hum, weird, it was = before
[10:24]  * didrocks looks at who changed that
[10:25] <didrocks> geser: oh I know, it's because of -V wasn't changed with ABI transition
[10:25] <didrocks> ok, let's see with the fixed version that will now be available
[10:25] <didrocks> and see if it will block mir without u-s-c

[11:13] <seb128> asac, not sure you can...

[11:13] <seb128> asac, you can add /+text to some pages, like bug reports

[11:15] <seb128> not very useful
[11:16] <asac> interesting :)
[11:16] <asac> i think i saw a more meaningful list
[11:16] <asac> when we worked on this bug harvesting tool back in heno days :)
[11:16] <asac> but lets see
[11:18] <cjwatson> didrocks: if there's still a problem, I'd need to see the control files of the things that you think should have been blocked, bearing in mind I don't know the specific packages in question
[11:19] <cjwatson> didrocks: from the sound of the discussion I read, using a virtual package that expresses the ABI would be a good idea; that's probably better than adding a << bound
[11:19] <didrocks> cjwatson: yeah, now we have a fixed version of Mir/u-s-c in the release pocket. I'm trying to rebuild a new Mir and push to proposed to see if it was just due to the bad transition
[11:19] <cjwatson> seb128: yes
[11:19] <didrocks> cjwatson: right now, the deps are just:
[11:19] <didrocks> unity-system-compositor Depends: mir (= <version>)
[11:19] <cjwatson> Exact-version dependencies should be banned :-P
[11:20] <cjwatson> They're almost never what people *actually* want, just a bad approximation
[11:20] <didrocks> cjwatson: upstream not bumping soname should be banned as well
[11:20] <didrocks> they are breaking ABI multiple times a day
[11:20] <cjwatson> Yes, but that isn't an excuse for exact-version dependencies
[11:20] <lifeless> didrocks: mir is ?
[11:20] <didrocks> lifeless: right
[11:20] <didrocks> cjwatson: and they don't want to maintain the ABI version by hand
[11:20] <cjwatson> If I were in this situation I would look into automatically computing an ABI hash
[11:20] <didrocks> so I have to do with the constraints that are imposed on me
[11:21] <cjwatson> Many packages in the archive do this, although I admit I don't offhand know of a C++ example
=== MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch
[11:21] <didrocks> cjwatson: that would be a nice thing I can investigate the day I don't have a ping every 2 minutes and 4 new compononents to push every day
[11:22] <cjwatson> But if you used one of the tools to produce a reduced textual representation of the ABI, took a few characters from its hash, and stuck that in Provides and shlibdeps, that would do the job
[11:22] <cjwatson> didrocks: Sorry, I can't help you then
[11:22] <cjwatson> I have as much work as you do
[11:22] <didrocks> I know :)
[11:22] <cjwatson> Please don't blame me
[11:22] <didrocks> cjwatson: I don't at all, but just understand why it's a strict dep for now :/
[11:22] <cjwatson> If you don't have time to do any changes, you can't improve anything
[11:23] <didrocks> I do changes to accomodate upstreams and try to get things flowing
[11:23] <didrocks> cjwatson: so, back to my question, should the exact version dependency block britney?
[11:23] <cjwatson> Yes
[11:24] <didrocks> ok, thanks, I didn't catch they didn't bump the soname change it in debian/rules the other day, so this rebuild should proove it works
[11:24] <didrocks> thanks cjwatson

[12:41] <Laney> didrocks: fails in update_output for that reason
[12:41] <didrocks> Laney: ah, and that's not reflected in _excuse?
[12:41] <Laney> no, that's just a first stage of checks
[12:42] <Laney> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ProposedMigration
[12:42] <didrocks> Laney: well, I read:
[12:42] <didrocks> The update excuses: list of all candidate package versions and the basic status of their propagation into the release pocket; this is somewhat shorter and nicer than
[12:42] <didrocks> The update output: the complete, rather crude output of the proposed-migration scripts as they recurse through the candidates.
[12:42] <didrocks> It doesn't say the first one is only a first stage :)
[12:42] <didrocks> but anyway, it's excellent, so blocked as it was supposed to, great! :)

[20:17] <bregma> I don;t think there is a mailing list for that
[20:18] <olli_> bregma, it's currently going to ps-jenkins
[20:18] <bdmurray> I'm using the email address of the uploader of the package which is ps-jenkins
[20:18] <olli_> which I don't think is monitored for that reason

[20:18] <olli_> fginther, ^ do you have any input?
[20:19] <sergiusens> olli_: everyone in QA has access to PS jenkins, it's a mailing list
[20:19] <sergiusens> it's very high traffic though
[20:19] <fginther> olli_, one moment
[20:19] <olli_> sergiusens, it's not about access, but about looking out for such mails
[20:20] <bdmurray> the subject of them is regularly formatted fwiw
[20:20] <bregma> perhaps we need finer-grained status mails from the automated testers
[20:20] <sergiusens> olli_: well I'm subscribed to that list and filter out what interests me
[20:20] <bregma> I just check the results page online from time to time
[20:21] <fginther> bdmurray, is this for the daily-release tests?
[20:22] <bdmurray> fginther: no this is using the ubuntu error tracker to see if there are regressions detected in Stable Release Updates - http://www.murraytwins.com/blog/?p=127
[20:24] <Noskcaj> kirkland, i've fixed the changelog. change you merge and possibly release?
[20:28] <fginther> bdmurray, olli_, sergiusens' filtering is probably the best option. Monitoring packages already in the wild isn't something I normally do
