[15:11] <barry> ;)
[15:11] <stgraber> ;)
[15:12] <cjwatson> Click:
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Arranged to run system hooks when removing packages (bug 1227681).
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Sped up system and session startup when many packages are installed (bug 1227604).
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Filtered out VCS metadata (bug 1223640).
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * PackageKit API tidy-up and enhancements to show removability.
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Implemented unregistration of preinstalled packages.
[15:12] <cjwatson> OEM bugs:
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Cleaned up most of the rest of bug 1065281.  Now reported to work at least in saucy.
[15:12] <cjwatson> Launchpad:
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Worked on some build slave crashes / bad failure modes (bug 993642, bug 1227086 - the latter exposed by the test rebuild).
[15:12] <cjwatson> Miscellaneous:
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Backported a fix for bug 1193136, an irritation when trying to use w3m/precise with Launchpad.
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Analysed Edubuntu livefs build failure; turned out to be a subtle bug in livecd-rootfs (as well as an arguable bug in indicator-sound packaging).
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Worked with IS to migrate ubuntu-archive jobs from lillypilly to new machine (snakefruit).  Much faster, yay.
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Fixed readthedocs.org to handle bzr branches with tags again, for click.readthedocs.org.
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Some NBS tidy-up.
[15:12] <cjwatson>  * Organised travel to client sprint.
[15:12] <cjwatson> ..
[15:12] <jodh> * Upstart:
[15:12] <jodh> *** Working on bug 1227212
[15:12] <jodh> ***** Improved session shutdown time dramatically.
[15:12] <jodh> ***** Currently updating tests and checking all code paths.

[15:15] <xnox>   (a few comments / bug reports gathered from discussions there)
[15:15] <xnox> done.
[15:16] <bdmurray> bug triage of iso-testing bug reports

[15:16] <bdmurray> done
[15:19] <slangasek> ah, we're to me already :)
[15:19] <slangasek>  * LinuxCon, Linux Plumbers Conference, UEFI Plugfest
[15:19] <slangasek>   * kudos to jodh and xnox for their presentations at the conference; they led to a number of good discussions about some easy wins that would help folks trying to use upstart in the wild
[15:19] <slangasek>   * lots of work on UEFI/SecureBoot: fixes to shim netboot support (v4 and v6), merged upstream and landed in saucy, RT filed to get this submitted to SysDev and signed by MS
[15:19] <slangasek>   * learned that edk2's FAT driver is non-free, overlooked a license addendum when preparing the package the first time around; now moved to non-free in Debian and mulitverse in Ubuntu, so qemu doesn't get to depend on it
[15:19] <slangasek>  * poking at the system-image test suite to try to work around the behavior of ubuntu-download-manager, apparently it's really hard to run a test suite when your test http server takes 2 minutes to timeout open connections
[15:19] <slangasek>  * today: beta release notes
[15:19] <slangasek> (done)
[15:19] <slangasek> any questions?
[15:20] <slangasek> [TOPIC] Final Beta
[15:20] <slangasek> so the release notes are always the bit that gets done last
[15:21] <barry> the python 3.3 release note looks fine
[15:21] <slangasek> those of you who still have time left in your day today, please take a little of that time to help get the ISO testing bugs from http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/303/builds documented in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes
[15:22] <slangasek> and if there are cool things that we've added in saucy that you think should also be there, please add them as well!
[15:22] <doko> I don't think toolchain bits are cool enough
[15:23] <slangasek> doko: you want to upload gcc 4.8 to make it cooler? :)
[15:23] <doko> slangasek, xnox wants me to fix one more thing ...
[15:23] <slangasek> [TOPIC] AOB
[15:23] <slangasek> anything else here?
[15:24] <slangasek> did anyone think of a topic they'd like to present on today?
[15:24] <xnox> doko++ =)
[15:24] <barry> xnox: that's actually ++doko
[15:24] <doko> just keep fixing build failures ...
[15:25] <doko> http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20130917-saucy.html

[15:25]  * slangasek nods
[15:26] <cjwatson> clearing NBS and as much of proposed-migration as can be done would help too
[15:26] <cjwatson> one thing I forgot to mention: I changed proposed-migration so that the excuses are sorted by age (well, at one-day granularity, and alphabetically within that)
[15:26] <cjwatson> so when you're trying to clear out long-standing entries, you can more easily ignore noise from things uploaded recently
[15:27] <cjwatson> I find things sort of in the middle are usually the most fertile ground
[15:27] <slangasek> oh, nice!

[15:29] <doko> cjwatson, slangasek: would like to upload anew graphviz upstream, letting us get rid of lua5.1 in main
[15:29] <barry> thanks!
[15:29] <slangasek> that's all, folks
[15:29] <jodh> thanks!
[15:29] <slangasek> doko: probably should be an FFe bug?
[15:30] <cjwatson> I guess I wonder whether getting rid of lua5.1 in main is a pressing problem
[15:30] <cjwatson> but yeah, FFe
[15:31] <stgraber> thanks!
