jdstrand[TOPIC] Announcements16:34
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Announcements
jdstrandThanks to Scott Kitterman (ScottK) who provided debdiffs for libkdcraw for quantal and raring. Your work is very much appreciated and will keep Ubuntu users secure. Great job! :)16:34
jdstrand[TOPIC] Weekly stand-up report16:34
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Weekly stand-up report
jdstrandI'll go first16:34
jdstrandI'm on triage this week16:34
jdstrandI'm also coordinating landings for kernel, apparmor, apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu, dbus, et al16:34
jdstrand(which includes testing)16:34
jdstrandI need to followup on various application-confinement bugs16:35
jdstrandand should get back to some updates this week16:35
jdstrandmdeslaur: you're up16:35
mdeslaurI'm on community this week16:35
mdeslaurand am going down the CVE list, as usual16:35
mdeslaurOn Friday, I'm patch piloting16:36
mdeslaurthat's about it16:36
mdeslaursbeattie: you're up16:36
sbeattieI'm on apparmor again this week16:36
sbeattieI'm currently trying to fight off a cold and not having a working broadband line16:36
sbeattieFor apparmor, I'm again trying to focus on getting work off of jjohansen's plate16:37
sbeattiethat's pretty much it for me.16:37
sbeattietyhicks: tag16:37
tyhicksI'm focusing on apparmor as well16:37
tyhicksI'm finishing up testing for pending apparmor, dbus, and evince uploads16:37
tyhickswell, apparmor is the only one that still has testing to do16:38
tyhicksafter that, I'll switch to either helping with IPC or getting familiar with the kdbus code16:38
jdstrandtyhicks, jjohansen: how different is the kernel that we gave to the kernel team today vs the one I was testing last week?16:38
tyhicksI have a short week this week - off on Friday16:38
tyhicksI haven't been making kernel changes16:39
* tyhicks defers to jjohansen 16:39
jdstrandoh, I think jjohansen may not be here now16:40
jdstrandsarnold: you're up16:40
tyhickswell the thought was that the changes wouldn't affect policy at all16:40
tyhicksso if your focus was on testing userspace, then the new kernel shouldn't affect that16:41
jdstrandtyhicks: right, I was wondering not from a policy standpoint, but from a testing standpoint, the kernel team suggested it was quite a bit bigger16:41
tyhicksI glanced at the patches last night, but don't know/remember enough to comment on their size16:41
jdstrandtyhicks: so I don't want for you to redo all your tests, I just want to make sure we feel good about that kernel16:42
tyhicksI think there were two small ones (a couple lines each) and one larger one16:42
tyhicksjdstrand: ack - that's my thinking, as well16:42
sarnoldI'm in the happy place this week, still doing MIR audits; I expect to finish Mir today and start on opus or open-vm-tools. So far Mir is looking pretty good. :)16:43
mdeslaurcool16:43
sarnoldI think that's it for me, chrisccoulson?16:43
chrisccoulsonhi :)16:44
chrisccoulsonthat's easy for me - I'm continuing to work on my actions for oxide16:44
chrisccoulsonthere was a chromium release last week. hopefully we'll be updating it this week ;)16:44
mdeslaurheh :)16:45
chrisccoulsoni think that's it for me :)16:45
jdstrandchrisccoulson: the oxide actions are finishing out the testsuite?16:45
chrisccoulsonoh, and i will finally publish a blog post about oxide (i've been working on it again this afternoon)16:45
jdstrandthen moving on to the other work items?16:45
jdstrandnice16:45
chrisccoulsonjdstrand, i've got quite a lot of tests done now. there's still more i can add, but i'm going to do that alongside my other actions16:45
jdstrandchrisccoulson: oh, nice :)16:46
chrisccoulsonit can get tedious when just working on tests, so i'm going to do other stuff in parallel now16:46
chrisccoulsonit's in pretty good shape16:46
jdstrandsbeattie: I meant to ask-- specifics on taking stuff off jj's plate> IPC and tests?16:46
jdstrandchrisccoulson: yeah, sounds fine, thanks!16:46
sbeattiejdstrand: yeah16:46
jdstrandsbeattie: I don't know how much jjohansen was able to look at the larger IPC (cause of the kernel updates for saucy)16:47
jdstrandsbeattie: can you comment on if we are still on track for the larger IPC patches to come soonish after 13.10?16:48
jdstrandsbeattie: if not, I'll ask jjohansen when he is back16:48
sbeattiejdstrand: jjohansen has the better grasp of that, I think.16:48
jdstrandok,sure16:49
jdstrandsbeattie: thanks16:49

Laney(no actions or anything, straight into it)19:17
Laney#subtopic Chris J Arges19:17
Laneyhello arges!19:17
argeso/19:17
Laneycare to give us a quick introduction for the history books?19:17
argesSure19:17
argesSo I'm been an Ubuntu user since 06. And for the last two years I've been fixing Ubuntu bugs as a full-time job working in canonical technical services.19:18
argesI mainly work on kernel bugs, but I also fix userspace packages as well.19:19
Laneythanks19:19
Laneyhttp://ubuntu-dev.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu-sponsorships.cgi?render=html&sponsor=*&sponsor_search=name&sponsoree=Chris+J+Arges&sponsoree_search=name19:19
argesI'm always trying to make sure our stable releases continue to be awesome, and I also run teh latest devel release to fix bugs as I hit them as well.19:19
arges.19:19
LaneyLooks like a pretty good list19:20
Laneyyou should have gotten infinity to advocate you :P19:20
argesLaney: i did e-mail him.19:20
argesbut I'm guessing its crunch time so he may have been busy19:20
Laneyfair enough19:22
Laneyso19:26
Laneydid you find the plus one team provided you with good experience for this application?19:27
argesLaney: absoultely.19:27
argesIt was fun fixing FTBFS,whilst learning proper packaging, and all the variables needed to fix a wide range of packages19:28
Laneygreat, I'm glad it's serving that part of its purpose well19:28
Laneyif accepted, is there any particular area you will concentrate on?19:29
Laneymaybe outside of your work if that answer will be uninteresting ;-)19:29
argesI'll continue to fix a wide range of bugs for stable releases, but my fxies will most likely be in the server/cloud19:30
argesI also will fix things as I use them, so I record audio on Ubuntu and like to make sure usbaudio / jack /ardour work well19:30
* Laney nods19:31
Laneystgraber has a q19:31
stgraberarges: hi, so how familiar are you with the Ubuntu release process? For example, can you describe what state the Ubuntu archive currently is in, how long it'll be in that state and what's expected from uploaders at this time?19:31
argesstgraber: sure. we are after the kernel freeze and final beta freeze. The final freeze is on oct 10th and the release is the 17th19:32
argesat this point only release-critical bugs / security-critical bugs will be fixed19:32
argesIf there is an exceptional case, it can be considered, but we obviously want to make sure we don't introduce any last minute regressions / etc19:33
stgraberis there a known exception to that rule you know of? (not really expecting you too, just wondering how much side noise you've heard ;))19:34
argesYou mean specifically and recently?19:35
stgraberyep, new for this cycle19:35
argesstgraber: was there something with the ubuntu touch project that changed recently?19:36
stgraberyep, touch packages that are only seeded on the touch images and nowhere else have a pretty broad freeze exception and so are still getting feature updates this late in the cycle19:36
stgraberdo you know how to easily check if a package is seeded and so will affect an official Ubuntu image?19:37
argesstgraber: i believe there is a project that does this19:38
argesseeded-in-ubuntu19:38
stgraberare you subscribed to ubuntu-devel-announce? (we seem to have forgotten to ask that one lately...)19:38
argesstgraber: no i am not, but will subscribe now19:39
stgraberthanks :)19:39
stgraberthat's all I've got, next!19:39
argesthanks19:39
Laneymicahg-work: go19:39
micahg-workarges, have you ever done a library transition in the archive?19:40
argesmicahg-work: i've done some fixes for multi-arch python, but nothing too major19:40
micahg-workarges, I'm referring to a SONAME bump or something similar19:41
argesmicahg-work: no i haven't had the chance to fix something like that. but its something I can learn and handle with help from mentors19:42
micahg-workarges, do you have a general idea of how something like that would work19:44
argesmicahg-work: sure.19:45
argesso first ensure the library builds properly with the bump, so we'll get something like /usr/lib/libblah.so.X.Y19:46
argesthen we need to make sure any packages that depend on that library build properly and can pick up that new library19:47
argesif the packages that depend on the library have any version requirements we may need to modify them to use the newer library19:47
argesso then you'd go through all the rdepends library packages and ensure they build correctly and also pass tests/QA/etc19:48
argesthere could be some gotcahs because function names could have changed as well19:50
arges..19:50
micahg-workarges, thanks, that was nicely detailed (and the initial rebuild test is always a good thing to do)19:51
micahg-workrdepend rebuild I meant19:51
argesmicahg-work: thanks19:52
Laneydo you know of any process improvement that was made recently which makes ongoing transitions safer for users of the development release?19:52
argesLaney: i think there is a few19:53
arges- autopkgtests and running them when a new package is uploaded19:53
arges- improved qa, more continuous testing19:54
argesHmm i was going something else19:55
LaneyLet me interrupt, because we're running short on time - sorry19:55
argesSure19:55
LaneyI was mainly thinking of proposed-migration (britney)19:55
argesOjk19:55
argesOk19:55
Laneyit makes sure that packages don't move to the main release until transitions are done19:55
Laney(simplified description)19:55
Laneytumbleweed: you had something?19:55
tumbleweedyeah19:56
tumbleweedarges: I don't see any sync  in the sponsorship miner, or your LP page19:56
tumbleweed*syncs19:56
tumbleweedhave you worked much with Debian?19:56
argestumbleweed: I have done a debian sync... let me find that example19:56
argestumbleweed: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iptables/1.4.18-1ubuntu119:57
argesI think there may be two, but this is the first one i could finmd19:57
tumbleweedubuntu1 doesn't soound like a sync19:57
* tumbleweed looks19:57
tumbleweedah, it's a merge19:57
argesOh you said sync19:57
argessorry19:57
argesNo I haven't done a debian sync, just debian merges19:58
tumbleweedI suppose many of the packages you've touched have Ubuntu deltas19:58
tumbleweedright, so you know to look for merges on packages you touched last19:58
argesYup! the merge o matic page19:58
tumbleweedthere's also a handy grep-merges tool19:58
argesah nice!19:58
argesI also regarding debian, I do try and submit my fixes to debian using 'submittodebian' when applicable to ensure we reduce our delta with debian19:59
tumbleweedok19:59
tumbleweedso you've dealt with the Debian BTS19:59
argesYes19:59
tumbleweedI think that answers everything I have there20:00
