| SimonK | hi there :), anyone here who can tell me, how to check out a (mainline-) kernel? | 11:34 |
|---|---|---|
| SimonK | It seems like kernel 3.9.* has only candidates up to "v3.9.7", but in the kernel-ppa is a "v3.9.11-saucy" version ("git checkout v3.9.11" says that git dosn't know this version) | 11:36 |
| smartboyhw | SimonK, quite certain that 3.9.11 is a vaild version | 11:39 |
| SimonK | hm, just to be on the safe side: if i am able to check out 3.10-rc1, that means 3.9.11 should be in my git-tree? | 11:40 |
| SimonK | the highest number i can find is "2ea699d98cd6f9e9b813c24542d581dedacdc659 refs/tags/v3.11-rc6" | 11:41 |
| smartboyhw | SimonK, you checked out http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=summary right? | 11:41 |
| smartboyhw | Well, "master" only bases on Linus' tree | 11:42 |
| smartboyhw | i.e. does not include any stable releases from upstream Linux | 11:42 |
| smartboyhw | SimonK, mainline actually means https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/ (for stable kernels) | 11:45 |
| SimonK | I cloned "git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-saucy.git" | 11:45 |
| SimonK | kernel.org didn't let me clone (it stopped at 13% every time, probably because of my dsl-speed) | 11:46 |
| SimonK | well, then i do a bisect between 3.9.7 and 3.10-rc1. | 11:47 |
| smartboyhw | SimonK, ubuntu-saucy != mainline............. | 11:48 |
| SimonK | so I have to clone from kernel.org? Well, thats unfortunate. | 11:49 |
| hggdh | SimonK, smartboyhw: the Ubuntu kernel versions are slightly different from upstream git (given that we usually start with the devel kernels) | 12:40 |
| hggdh | an easy way to find that out is by looking at /proc/version_signature -- there you will see the Ubuntu version and the upstream version | 12:40 |
| SimonK | I see... I'm trying to download from kernel.org at the moment *fingers crossed* | 12:41 |
| SimonK | I'll never understand why you have to restart a cloning if you abrot it bevore :/ | 12:41 |
| hggdh | we do have mainline kernels build for Ubuntu | 12:47 |
| hggdh | SimonK: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 12:47 |
| SimonK | Yes, I know which version is the last good (3.9.11) and the first bad (3.10-rc1) my problem now just comes down to bad internet-connection, git cloning from *.kernel.org is aborting every time i tried so far | 12:49 |

| TheLordOfTime | anyone able to tell me what happens if an SRU goes to verification-failed ? | 18:02 |
| hggdh | TheLordOfTime: the package should be removed from the -proposed pocket, and the bug should be put back into triaged | 18:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | hggdh: should i let sponsors do those changes, or can I bump it back to Triaged myself? | 18:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | because E: Bug 1206878 VERIFICATIONFAILED because E: New Bug | 18:06 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1206878 in nginx (Ubuntu Precise) "[SRU] Configuration should be purged only in nginx-common" [Critical,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1206878 | 18:06 |
| hggdh | TheLordOfTime: you can bump it back to triaged yourself; removal from the -proposed will have to be done by someone with archive authority | 18:07 |
| TheLordOfTime | hggdh: done, now, if I were to try and fix this, and actually fix the newly-introduced-bug from what's in 1.1.19-1ubuntu0.3, do I bump the version to -1ubuntu0.4, or...? | 18:08 |
| TheLordOfTime | (this is the first patch I've actually had fail o.O) | 18:08 |
| hggdh | good question... I think it would remain 0.3, but this might conflict with an already-uploaded source. | 18:10 |
| TheLordOfTime | so... i should wait until I can go poke someone, like bdmurray who actually sponsored the upload, to explain what to do in this case? | 18:11 |
| hggdh | yeah. Or -motu, or -devel, or -packaging | 18:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | -MOTU's been nonresponsive | 18:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | hence me asking here about the verification-failed thing | 18:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | -devel will be my next target probably. | 18:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | unless someone wakes up on the MOTUs | 18:11 |
| hggdh | yeah, I saw your comment in -servers | 18:11 |
| * hggdh goes afk for a bit | 18:12 | |
| bdmurray | -1ubuntu0.4 because the previous version of the package already existed in the archive | 18:21 |
| bdmurray | TheLordOfTime:, hggdh ^^ | 18:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: so, I have the -1ubuntu0.3 package I pulled from proposed with dget, do i just add code modifications to that, add a new changelog entry for -1ubuntu0.4, and attach another debdiff, or do i start from -1ubuntu0.2, do changes, and then new changelog -1ubuntu0.4 ? | 18:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | basically, which package do I base the updated debdiff from. | 18:23 |
| bdmurray | -1ubuntu0.3 | 18:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | okay, so work off what's already in proposed, fix the newly-introduced-bug, test, and then attach the debdiff... | 18:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | cool. | 18:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | (this was the first patch that has been for nginx that verification-failed o.O) | 18:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | (at least, that i've worked on) | 18:25 |
| hggdh | bdmurray: yeah, I wondered about an already-uploaded debdiff. So the process is base on the failed fix, and add the fix's fix | 18:27 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: for -1ubuntu0.4, though, do I also need to put in (closes LP: #bugnumber) that was referenced in -1ubuntu0.3 ? | 18:31 |
| bdmurray | TheLordOfTime: yes | 18:32 |
| TheLordOfTime | ok | 18:32 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: if you're not busy, can you perhaps guide me to a resolution of a bug issue? I'm stuck between Invalid/Wishlist and actually poking someone in a position to make a decisive answer on the bug, and that plus the emails I"m getting about it are driving me to the point of telling everyone to die in a fire... o.o | 19:58 |
| bdmurray | TheLordOfTime: I'm not terribly involved in anything at the moment | 20:00 |
| TheLordOfTime | hggdh: you know the bug, i briefly discussed it here | 20:00 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: okay, one moment | 20:00 |
| TheLordOfTime | (btw, i'll need you to also sponsor a new debdiff for 1206878, that fixes the issues) | 20:00 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: this is the one driving me insane: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/1170586 | 20:00 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1170586 in nginx (Ubuntu) "Naxsi package lacking Stub Status" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 20:00 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: it's stuck between Invalid/Wishlist (because although the code for that module exists, its rules file never included it)... | 20:01 |
| TheLordOfTime | and trying to figure out whether there's any way to get an approved change to the package to build the module's code, as it exists in the 1.1.19 source | 20:01 |
| TheLordOfTime | quantal and later all have the module's code compiled in the rules | 20:02 |
| TheLordOfTime | as it stands i'm leaving it Incomplete/Undecided until someone more... senior... can make a decision on how to proceed | 20:02 |
| TheLordOfTime | the whole initial issue was based on research the OP found that pointed at 1.2.1 (on Debian's wiki page) | 20:03 |
| TheLordOfTime | comment 4, i narrowed the criterion for the issue to be specific to the package, and not what debian's saying, but nginx's debian maintainers can't give me a clear answer | 20:03 |
| TheLordOfTime | so... this is now in the point where someone wants the thing, but activating it isn't SRU worthy | 20:03 |
| TheLordOfTime | and I don't see a backport being relevant in this case either because they want something that wasn't activated in the rules, but is actually in the source code. | 20:04 |
| TheLordOfTime | so... i'm stuck :/ | 20:04 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: hggdh: anyone else: i welcome any guidance on how to tackle this to get everyone off my case about this... o.o | 20:06 |
| bdmurray | TheLordOfTime: everyone? I see only one person affected by it. | 20:10 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: direct emails to me are causing the stress | 20:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | not on the bug | 20:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | either way, the bug is stuck in triager limbo until someone can figure it out | 20:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | on the one hand, activating the module is as simple as one line of code, on the other, doing that wouldn't fit into SRU or backport | 20:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | so... kinda stuck | 20:12 |
| TheLordOfTime | (part of me wants to Invalid that bug but... i'm in too high a stress level to do so sanely) | 20:12 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: on a more sane, not-as-stressful note, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/1206878 has a new debdiff ready for sponsoring | 20:17 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1206878 in nginx (Ubuntu Precise) "[SRU] Configuration should be purged only in nginx-common" [Critical,Triaged] | 20:17 |
| TheLordOfTime | that apparently fixes the issue introduced in 1.1.19-1ubuntu0.3 (that was in -proposed) | 20:17 |
| TheLordOfTime | at least, from my testing with the testcases specified, it works as expected, and doesn't trigger installation or purge errors | 20:18 |
| bdmurray | I'd prefer no to sponsor that since I'll may be the SRU team member reviewing it. | 20:18 |
| bdmurray | Do you know what the patch for the other bug would look like? | 20:18 |
| TheLordOfTime | okay, i'll have to go find a sponsor then... | 20:18 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: you mean the one that's driving me to wanting to tell people to burn? | 20:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: i can probably slap up an example patch in a few minutes | 20:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | but for all intents and purposes... Bug 1206878 is a much higher priority than 1170586 | 20:19 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1206878 in nginx (Ubuntu Precise) "[SRU] Configuration should be purged only in nginx-common" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1206878 | 20:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | because config removal on a non-common-files purge is just bad. | 20:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: a diff for LP Bug 1170586 would look something along the lines of this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6189724/ | 20:25 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1170586 in nginx (Ubuntu) "Naxsi package lacking Stub Status" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1170586 | 20:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | (note because of convenience, I built that off of the -1ubuntu0.4 package I uploaded a debdiff for which fixes 1206878) | 20:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | note i tend to testbuild before I submit a debdiff... | 20:26 |
| TheLordOfTime | so unless someone's actually going to approve adding in that line to build the module, i'm not even going to test-build | 20:26 |
| TheLordOfTime | (although in theory it should build) | 20:26 |
| bdmurray | and I think that fits in this part of the "When" for SRUs | 20:27 |
| bdmurray | Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel). | 20:27 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: then, if i were to upload a debdiff for that and propose it for SRU under that criterion... | 20:28 |
| bdmurray | but I'm pretty sure I'm still the new guy on that team | 20:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | then perhaps someone would look at it? | 20:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | ehh, where are the SRU team anyways | 20:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | or, rather, would you mind poking them and seeing what they say :P | 20:29 |
| * TheLordOfTime yawns | 20:29 | |
| TheLordOfTime | i need to go beat my head against the wall for a bit | 20:29 |
| TheLordOfTime | but the good news is that annoying bug that removes a user's configs when nginx-light or nginx-full or nginx-naxsi or nginx-extras is purged is (hopefully) in the queue to fix it | 20:29 |
| TheLordOfTime | bdmurray: last question, do i leave the verification-failed tag on 1206878 since i uploaded a new debdiff, and wait for someone from sponsors and SRU team to take a look? | 20:30 |
| bdmurray | TheLordOfTime: yes, because we don't want it showing up as verified on the pending sru report | 20:32 |
| TheLordOfTime | okay, done. if sponsors need to be resubscribed, can you do that for me, bdmurray? i'm going to go take a warm shower to try and calm down... for some reason that's relaxing... *shrugs* | 20:35 |
