seb128is anyone working on getting the kernel that fixes aufs out of proposed?08:23
seb128apw, ^ do you know?08:29
seb128the autolanders are still screwed since today's iso still has the buggy kernel :/08:30
apwseb128, that is waiting for d-i08:33
seb128apw, is anyone working on getting d-i updated?08:33
apwseb128, i do not know if anyone is no, normally they are pretty snappy at doing it, but it has some seed complexity so we arn't yet able to do it08:34
apwand some of the keener members are sprinting08:34
seb128apw, who is "they", cjwatson?08:34
seb128right :/08:35
apwand infinity08:35
seb128I fear it's going to be one of those days where CI is going to be screwed until Lexington people are in the office08:35
seb128apw, thanks08:35
apwseb128, i suspect that tells one that CI has a fundamental need to be able to select older things, like here the kernel boots, yuo could downgrade it and do the tests no problem08:36
apwso although the kernel is holding CI, if it holds CI, CI is broken08:36
seb128apw, I suspect they can downgrade the kernel or boot an old one, the issue is that "they" are all in Lexington this week :/08:37
apwseb128, then that is more of a problem for velocity ...08:37
seb128right08:37
seb128apw, btw is there any way we could have an autopkgtest or something that make sure aufs loads/work on kernel updates in the futur?08:38
apwseb128, perhaps, aufs has never been a gating feature before however, as union mounts have only been 'consumed' by CDs and if one of overlayfs or aufs work enough for that we are 'good' to go08:39
seb128we, seems our CI/daily landing rely on it nowadays08:40
apwseb128, heh, well it is always good to see communication working so well08:40
* apw is tempted to revert the fix for a bit to focus the mind08:40
seb128shrug08:43
seb128let's just try to get d-i uploaded today and move on08:43
* seb128 just wants fixes to land to saucy08:43
seb128(fixes for unity/touch components)08:43
apwseb128, this is one case where no manual override for CI is a fail08:44
apwseb128, can't you just upload it, like one would have to do in a fail scenario08:44
apwseb128, it would be a good test for the recovery process08:44
seb128apw, well, we still have direct upload available08:44
seb128but then we need to get the diffs merged back08:45
seb128so it's double work08:45
apwseb128, so test it on your laptop, with the fixed kernel and upload, win08:45
seb128I guess I could do that08:45
seb128anyway08:45
seb128apw, thanks for the replies, I've annoyed you enough about the topic, moving on to get stuff uploaded ;-)08:46

slangasekGSport: that's all well and good, but to get actionable bug reports requires a reliable feedback channel to the submitter.  That means email.  We've taken deliberate steps to not require accounts and email addresses for crash reports because those can operate at scale and give us the information we need without having to ask users for details, but for what you're talking about there needs to be a dialog between the developer and the user14:22

cjwatsonslangasek: I think so14:48
slangasekcjwatson: er, I mean in the embedded config14:48
slangasekwell, you tell me which I mean ;)14:48
cjwatsonslangasek: No, I think it wants to be at the same level as where you set root=tftp14:48
slangasekok14:48
cjwatsonThe main menu execution should be a child of that execution context14:49
cjwatsonslangasek: This is all based on the hypothesis that what you meant by your comment in the MP was that when you got to the real menu all the tftp-set env vars had gone away14:49
cjwatsonOr similar14:49
slangasekcjwatson: hmmm unfortunately the net_* variables include some net-device-specific ones14:49
slangaseknet_efinet8_ip=10.98.5.6614:50
cjwatsonslangasek: Yeah, that was why I said we could come up with something neater14:50
cjwatsonslangasek: If this is actually the problem then we could make those be automatically exported, say14:50
slangasekoh, so just do this to see if it works, got it14:50
cjwatsonRight14:50
cjwatsonpitti: Also, what's the best way to set things up so that I can get useful retraces of parted crashes?  parted ships -dbg packages which are a separate build pass (because they turn on extra malloc debugging), so I want real dbgsyms rather than dummy ones; should I just add it as a special case in pkg-create-dbgsym alongside python?14:57
cjwatsonDoesn't really seem ideal since it might change14:57
slangasekdo you mean the crash was generated using the -dbg packages, and now you need the corresponding backtrace?14:59
cjwatsonNo, I mean the crash was generated using the non-dbg packages, and I can't get a backtrace because (a) -dbg is from a different build pass (b) pkg-create-dbgsym thinks it only needs to generate dummy -dbgsym packages because -dbg exists14:59
slangasekah14:59
cjwatsonMaybe I should just turn the -dbg packages into plain separated-debug-symbol packages in Debian.  mtrace is supposed to have no effect if MALLOC_TRACE is unset in the environment anyway15:00
slangasekI didn't realize pkg-create-dbgsym skipped when there was a -dbg package; I'm skeptical that this is actually sensible15:00
cjwatsonparted is probably just Doing It Wrong, now that I look at it, but I'm sure we have the same problem elsewhere15:01
cjwatsonThis makes it irritatingly hard to attack bug 1215458 though15:02

pitticjwatson: p-9.1> ah, got to fix that to build the libs on saucy, will do; thanks for the poke15:38
pitticjwatson: I think if we special-case the dbg generation in parted, then we need to do a corresponding special-case in p-create-dbgsym15:40
pitticjwatson: if that happens in more cases, we could try to come up with some way how pkg_create_dbgsym could see that the -dbg package is not a real -dbg package15:40
Riddelljbicha: I plan to update libdvdread with this http://starsky.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/install-css.sh15:41
pittislangasek: infinity asked for this to lessen the impact of -dbgsym packages in the librarian, as they essentially just duplicate the same bits that are already in -dbg15:41
cjwatsonpitti: Yeah, as I say I think the parted case is moot, I'm going to reorganise its handling15:41
Riddelljbicha: medibuntu is going away and videolan will replace it15:41
slangasekpitti: right; but the proper fix for this is actually to make Debian get ddebs done and get maintainers to stop adding -dbg packages by hand :)15:42
