[16:07] <slangasek> barry: ack
[16:09] <doko> - two full days of merges, not yet finished with main, and didn't look yet at universe. merges in general seem to be behind this cycle
[16:09] <doko> - start packaging GCC 4.9, including four new runtime libs
[16:09] <doko> - gcc-4.8/arm64: trying to reproduce a testcase for 1263576
[16:09] <doko> - finishing tcl/tk updates
[16:09] <doko> - made python3.4 a supported python3 version. fixed most packages
[16:09] <doko>   build-depending on python3-all-dev.
[16:09] <doko> - started a first test rebuild, currently for main on all archs.
[16:09] <doko>   universe will follow later this week.
[16:09] <doko> - looked at ruby-ffi on arm64 and ppc64el. not much progress
[16:09] <doko> - finished the glew transition
[16:09] <doko> - uploaded ppc64le cross toolchain to trusty
[16:09] <doko> - update of python interpreters
[16:09] <doko> - MIR processing, component mismatches, ...
[16:09] <doko> (done)
[16:11] <slangasek> doko: gcc 4.9> and that's not landing in the archive this cycle, right?
[16:12] <doko> slangasek, depends ... =)
[16:12] <slangasek> doko: on what?
[16:12] <slangasek>  * post-holiday email wrangling
[16:12] <slangasek>  * learning the ropes on the TB (congrats to everyone else who was elected, thanks to everyone else who stood)
[16:12] <slangasek>  * sprint prep
[16:12] <slangasek>  * continuing to work on filling our open position on the team
[16:12] <slangasek>  * Debian upstart/systemd discussions

[16:12] <jodh>     a Session Init, handling child comms asynchronously. Needs
[16:12] <jodh>     polishing and also necessitates reworking some of the existing
[16:12] <jodh>     tests and writing additional state-machine checking tests.
[16:12] <doko> if gccgo-4.9 looks better than -4.8

[16:14] <slangasek> doko: would we be able to use gccgo-4.9 with libgcc from 4.8, or does this require updating libgcc?  I thought you were opposed to pulling in 4.9 for the runtime libs
[16:14] <xnox> * I'm away on holidays from 11th to 19th of January
[16:14] <xnox> ..
[16:14] <barry> xnox: we should chat about autopilot+emulator some time :)

[16:15] <doko> and as I said, I just started the packaging this week ...
[16:15] <xnox> barry: well today is best as i'll be available most of the evening. tomorrow, i'll be finishing sharp at EOD.
[16:15] <slangasek> doko: ack
[16:16] <barry> xnox: ack
[16:16] <slangasek> any more questions/comments on status?
[16:17] <slangasek> barry: should we talk about autopilot?
[16:17] <barry> slangasek: sure
[16:17] <slangasek> [TOPIC] autopilot & python3
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: autopilot & python3
[16:18] <barry> we have buy-in that autopilot tests in packages should be py3, which is great because we'll be able to ditch py2 on touch
[16:18] <barry> some disagreement on whether there should be a "flag day" or switch things over package by package
[16:19] <barry> otoh, if we go by xnox's list in emulator branch, there's only 11 packages that need porting, so i think it's silly not to just flag day it
[16:19] <slangasek> yes; but all the plans for switching things over package-by-package had huge overhead on the packaging side
[16:19]  * slangasek nods
[16:19] <barry> slangasek: yeah, i thought you'd back me up on that :)
[16:20] <barry> i've already ported address-book-app and camera-app and am working on cordova-ubuntu.  really, porting the actual packages is not difficult
[16:21] <barry> one thing i'm unsure of atm is whether the click package tests in xnox's branch use autopilot.  i think not, but not sure atm
[16:21] <xnox> barry: oh, i see. Yeah, I was confused why all tests seem to run in python2 mode, when they are mostly 1.4 autopilot based and should be python3 capable.
[16:21] <xnox> barry: all of them use autopilot, after a huge amount of wrapper scripts =)
[16:21] <barry> right, we have /usr/bin/autopilot (py2) and autopilot-py3 as test runners
[16:21] <barry> xnox: okay, so the click package tests will need porting too then.  that adds to the mix
[16:22] <barry> other open questions: whether to have one big tracking bug with bugtasks, or a bug per package
[16:22] <xnox> barry: i can wedge /usr/bin/autopilot to be /usr/bin/autopilot-py3 & give you logs of how much things fail, would you be interested in that?
[16:22] <barry> and the really difficult one: testing :(
[16:22] <slangasek> testing> that's why we have charms :)
[16:22] <slangasek> xnox: what kind of times are you getting out of running all the testsuites, now?
[16:23] <barry> xnox: what i'd like to talk about later is fiddling with your emulator scripts to switch between py2 and py3, and using local packages.  but then there's the cross-building issue
[16:23] <xnox> barry: one big bug with bugtasks, doesn't scale that well. Having one bug per project/package with a common tag works better. As one can request launchpad to list them all "e.g. tag jemjem from all projects"
[16:23] <barry> xnox: that's probably how we'll go
[16:23] <xnox> slangasek: some instances get stuck, so i need to add watchdog. Last run I did was about 3h across all non-failing projects.
[16:23] <barry> since i suspect package maintainers will prefer that
[16:24] <xnox> barry: is python3 autopilot seeded on the images yet?
[16:24] <slangasek> xnox: not bad, not bad...  seems like a few more iterations, and we should be able to get solid test results for the autopilot transition
[16:24] <barry> right now the easiest thing seems to be: install the amd64 packages and run the tests locally.  a few py2 tests will fail (e.g. i have no camera) but oh well.  then, build and install the amd64 py3 ported package locally and run with autopilot-py3.  icky, but has the advantage of actually working :)
[16:25] <barry> xnox: python3-autopilot gives you /usr/bin/autopilot-py3
[16:26] <barry> autopiloters seem to do all testing on devices, including package builds.  but i think that's almost unnecessarily slow for porting purposes
[16:26] <doko> barry, do you test with 3.4 too? ;-p
[16:26] <xnox> barry: and autopilot-touch is not a python based? it has python-autopilot & python-evdev depends.
[16:26] <barry> doko: ha ha ha!
[16:27] <slangasek> barry: +1 for anything that speeds up the development cycle by leveraging native hardware :)
[16:27] <barry> xnox: i *think* those are just ap's own tests, which can be run against py2 and py3 using tox in their trunk branch
[16:27] <xnox> cool.
[16:27] <barry> slangasek: yeah, i think that'll at least get us 99% of the way there
[16:27] <barry> at least to the point of mp's
[16:28] <barry> so, aside from porting, we'll have to get ci to switch over to autopilot-py3.  that's a whole 'nuther discussion
[16:28] <barry> (some of which has been discussed before)
[16:28] <barry> anyway, i think that's about it.  xnox's emulator is awesome btw, and if we can leverage it for testing as described above, i think that would give us extra confidence
[16:28] <barry> eot
[16:29] <slangasek> yeah, there's no way we can propose having a py3 flag day for autopilot /without/ testing in emulation... we need to get the py3 autopilot test failures down to where they match the existing py2 tests, and that requires testing on arm
[16:31] <slangasek> so next steps: 1) iterate through the test suites on amd64, fixing any obvious py2/3 issues; 2) generate reports for py2 vs. py3 autopilot testing in the cloud; 3) lather, rinse, repeat; 4) flag day when we hit parity?
[16:31] <barry> agreed.  i think the phablet-tools test runner can be pointed to local packages and/or ppas, so one of the steps in this process should be uploading to a ppa all the ported tests, twiddling the runner to use py3, and running them on actual devices and/or the emulator
[16:31] <barry> slangasek: yes
[16:32] <slangasek> ppas> only relevant for the .debs, I guess, not the click packages
[16:32] <barry> right
[16:32] <slangasek> barry: ok - sounds like a plan.  What do you think the timeline looks like?  I guess if you haven't looked at the test suites yet for any of the click packages, it's hard to project?
[16:33] <barry> slangasek: right.  but i'm mildly confident i can finish the non-click porting this week or early next week
[16:33] <slangasek> ok
[16:33] <slangasek> barry: thanks!
[16:34] <barry> sure thing!
