slangasek[TOPIC] lightning round15:04
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: lightning round
slangasekdoko: you're first :)15:05
doko- Some unexpected GCC work, looking at regressions in the testsuite:15:06
doko  - Testsuite wasn't enabled, so it was difficult to track down :-/15:06
doko  - Fix libjava test failures, seen with binutils 2.2315:06
doko  - Fix boehm-gc test failure15:06
doko  - Look at gcc and g++ test failures only seen with hardening defaults, and fix15:06
doko  - Re-discovered that -Wformat-security is disabled in GCC 4.8, because the boo15:06
dokotstrap failed with this default.  Now enable that in the specs instead of the op15:06
dokotions processing, and it builds ...15:06
doko  - Ignore the additional mudflap test failures. Will work on removing mudflap u15:06
dokopstream alltogether now that the sanitizer is available in 4.8.15:06
doko  - Upload is pending15:06
doko- Restart on cmake cross builds.15:06
doko(done)15:06
ev- Tail end of vUDS. Had a very productive discussion around the next steps for15:06
ev  continuous integration.15:06
ev- Mostly spent the week getting ready for the Lexington QA sprint next week.15:06
ev  - Calls with jibel, Martin, Francis, and Adam.15:06
ev- Meeting with IS to discuss Cassandra cluster next steps. They've asked to15:06
ev  delay the final steps of migrating the data from our existing clusters into a15:06
ev  new one. This is because they're working on building Prodstack 4.0 and doing15:06
ev  these steps now would mean having to move a lot of data around once the new15:06
ev  Prodstack is ready. I've in turn asked that more attention be given to moving15:06
ev  daisy, errors, and the retracers onto prodstack and opening up access to the15:06
ev  Cassandra nodes again, so we can at least continue with feature development15:06
ev  while we wait.15:06
ev- Patch piloting. Woo.15:06
ev- Discussion around reporting runaway applications.15:06
evOther:15:06
ev- Note: I am in Boston from this Sunday for the QA sprint and then on holiday15:06
ev  for two weeks after that in somewhat remote territory (Nevada and Arizona15:06
ev  desert). If you need my help with something, we have until Friday :)15:06
ev- Attended a talk by Adrian Cockcroft at Cassandra London on how they have15:06
ev  built Netflix. A lot of it was a repeat of the Cassandra SF talk that I15:06
ev  summarised on canonical-tech, but there were definitely some useful bits in15:06
ev  there, like their Zuul API proxy tier. Didn't get a chance to ask him how the15:07
ev  move of all their systems to Ubuntu was going :-/15:07
ev(done)15:07
stgraberBlueprint-related work:15:08
stgraber - Image based updates (BLUEPRINT: foundations-1305-image-based-updates)15:08
stgraber   - Landed the daily-proposed channel15:08
stgraber   - Re-numbered all the current channels (base version is 1 instead of YYYYMM00)15:08
stgraber   - Bumped system partition size from 1.2GB to 2GB15:08
stgraber   - Following-up with QA to get this landed by default this week15:08
cjwatson(jodh is on holiday)15:08
stgraberOther work:15:08
stgraber - LXC15:08
stgraber  - Linux Plumbers mini-conference preparation15:08
stgraber  - Licensing review and fixes15:08
stgraber  - Python attach API review and fixes15:08
stgraber  - Some code review15:08
stgraber  - Android port fixes (building again with current NDK)15:08
stgraber  - Prepared and pushed out the LXC 1.0~alpha1 pull request15:08
stgraber    (FFe already accepted for once it's released)15:08
stgraber - Network15:08
stgraber  - Merged ifupdown from Debian. Thanks to Steve for fixing the conffile handling of /etc/init.d/networking!15:08
stgraber - Other15:08
stgraber  - vUDS15:08
stgraber 15:08
stgraberTODO (hopefully this week):15:08
stgraber - Land LXC 1.0~alpha1 in the archive ASAP (need to nag Daniel to process my pull request)15:08
stgraber - Implement the boot-time hooks for Ubuntu touch15:09
stgraber - Help QA run tests against touch_ro so we can switch to it by default15:09
stgraber - Re-design channels.json to be flexible enough to support channel aliases and hidden channels15:09
stgraber - Blog/g+/email about the version number changes as soon as we get a new phablet-flash landed in the archive15:09
stgraber(DONE)15:09
stokachustgraber: what do you think about backporting ifupdown to precise?15:09
stgraberstokachu: a straight backport wouldn't work because of other changes that happened around it, so we'd have to compare the effort to cherry-pick the fixes you care about vs the work required to backport saucy to precise.15:10
xnoxstgraber: (android src package rebuild has landed in .deb package as well now, if still needed)15:10
stokachustgraber: ok ive got a bug on ifupdown in precise where using simple service networking restart fails15:11
stokachustgraber: you have time after the meeting to discuss it a bit?15:11
stgraberxnox: thanks! I didn't actually need it since we aren't using the binaries from the android package yet, but that means that once we do, we won't regress (which was the goal here).15:11
slangasek* short week, Labor Day was on Monday15:12
slangasek * revisiting the status of UEFI netboot support; currently arguing with a machine that only wants to netboot over IPv615:12
stgraberstokachu: I don't see how backporting a more recent version of ifupdown would solve that15:12
slangasek * finally getting the partition resizing work done for phablet-flash, though too late to make it for the initial switch to system images15:12
slangasek * poking around the edges of beta1, want to revisit the freeze rules for optional milestones based on some of the experiences here15:12
slangasek * patch piloting today15:12
slangasek(done)15:12
stgraberstokachu: considering we don't actually support restarting networking to begin with15:12
stokachustgraber: dont support restarting networking?15:13
stgraberstokachu: right15:13
stokachueven for server15:13
stgraberstokachu: we support bringing individual interfaces up and down, but as the networking in Ubuntu is event based, we can't support restarting the whole thing sequentially15:14
* ev steps out to chat with IS15:14
barryhave you tried `sudo service networking restart`?  don't! ;)15:14
slangasekcjwatson:15:14
cjwatsonLaunchpad:15:14
cjwatson - Landed build cancellation (bug 54730) and retrieval of build logs for cancelled builds (bug 1050514).15:14
stgraberstokachu: I mean, it may work and for simple systems it'll, just don't expect it to really work when using bridges, vlans or bond interfaces15:14
stokachustgraber: ok good to know, thanks15:14
ubottubug 54730 in launchpad-buildd "launchpad buildd abort does not work as expected" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/5473015:14
cjwatson - Implemented automatic ppa-reset of failing virtual builders (bug 1039935), which has made the PPA build farm significantly more stable.15:14

cjwatsonClick:15:14
cjwatson - Added "icon" (optional) and "installed-size" (automatically generated) to manifest for the benefit of UI code.15:15
cjwatson - Cleaned up various bugs in the preloaded wrapper.15:15
cjwatson - Added support for multiple installation root directories, which we'll use for preinstalled apps.  Much internal heavy lifting to make this work but no incompatible interface changes.15:15
cjwatsonTODO:15:15
cjwatson - Finish deploying preinstalled app handling in click.15:15
cjwatson - Removal support in click, since UI work on this is due to start soon.15:15
cjwatson - Big pile of OEM bugs, probably involving all the coffee :-/15:15
cjwatson..15:15

xnoximho it's unwise to introduce insecure https, and at the moment using gnu wget fails all installations (due to exact text parsing) so that linked bug should really be fixed first.15:20

xnox  qt* & packaging15:20
xnox- help out landing (and testing) upstart 1.10 in the archive for FFe, ubiquity15:20
cjwatsonI remain concerned that providing HTTPS when there's no way to make it secure is inviting people to do it wrong15:20
xnox  uploads for FFe/Beta1, unbreak boost-python linking, unbreak15:20

stokachuif we could possibly get a definitive stance on the subject that would help i think15:21
* slangasek nods15:21
stokachuposted to the bug publicly15:21
slangasekstokachu: I think cjwatson's / xnox's stance has been pretty consistent / definitive15:21

slangasektb is technically right about links that are sniffable but not pwnable, but that basically requires a webserver that does PFS, and very few of them actually do and most admins have no idea if theirs does or not15:23
slangasekso the vast majority of people who would see this functionality and try to use it would probably still be doing it wrong15:24
