Mirvwould any core-dev review/ack/nack the debian/* part of the following changes from Unity team related to multi-arch? https://ci-train.ubuntu.com/job/ubuntu-landing-012-2-publish/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/packaging_changes_compiz_1%3A0.9.12.0+15.04.20141210.2-0ubuntu1.diff06:41

dholbachhi LocutusOfBorg108:03
LocutusOfBorg1bothering you in the first morning08:03
LocutusOfBorg1129211808:03
LocutusOfBorg1I got testing done ;)08:04
dholbachthanks08:05
LaibschLaney: Hello, are you there? I was wondering if there was anything I should be doing re PPU now. Rolf08:07
dholbachLocutusOfBorg1, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text=08:10
dholbachI think the other bug tasks can be closed, right?08:11
LocutusOfBorg1sorry I don't get what should be closed...08:16
LocutusOfBorg1(thanks for the upload BTW)08:16
dholbachLocutusOfBorg1, it was a but in virtualbox in ubuntu after all, right?08:20
dholbachso nothing which needs addressing upstream or it linux08:20
dholbachif that's the case I'd close the other bug tasks08:20
LocutusOfBorg1dholbach, makes sense, nope it is a cherry-pick from the new release08:51
LocutusOfBorg1trusty isn't affected at all08:51
LocutusOfBorg14.1.14 has already the patch IIRC08:52
dholbachright08:52
LocutusOfBorg1dholbach, introduced somewhere around 4.2.16 http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git/tree/src/VBox/HostDrivers/Support/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c?id=upstream/4.2.16-dfsg08:57
LocutusOfBorg1confirmed, between 4.2.8 and 4.2.1608:58
LaneyLaibsch: oh yes, that needs someone on the TB to action but stgraber was busy last week09:04
Laneypitti: morning, fancy running some edit-acl for me & Laibsch? :)09:05
pittihey Laney; sure09:06
Laneyhe needs PPU for https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/devel-permissions/2014-November/000764.html adding09:06
Laneypitti: should be something like `edit-acl -p r0lf -S vivid -s bugz -s ffgtk -s fslint -s gjots2 -s isdnutils -s kasumi -s libcapi20-3 -s n2n -s pastebinit -s polipo -s roger-router -s scanbd -s scim -s scim-anthy -s scim-tables -s wondershape add'09:12
Laneycan't test, obviously09:12
pittiLaney: yeah, I'm in the middle of it09:12
Laneyah09:12
pittiLaney: oh, only for vivid, not all releases?09:13
pitti"I've done many SRUs" sounds like he'd want stables, too?09:13
LaneyI guess so :)09:13
Laneyyou could wrap it in a for release in $(ubuntu-distro-info --supported)09:14
LaneyI don't think it matters if a package actually exists in that release or not09:14
pittiLaney, Laibsch: done: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9558596/09:15
Laneymerci09:16
Laibschthanks a lot09:16
LaibschI think I have one sync from experimental.  I'll prepare it and request for review this time to make sure I understand the process09:17
LaibschIs there much of a difference technically when uploading to Ubuntu vs Debian?  I guess, I'll also be using dput?09:18
LaneyLaibsch: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/New might be helpful09:22
Laibschyes, I was looking for something like that09:23
LaneyIn Ubuntu we upload without binaries09:23
Laibschthanks for helping me to find it quicker09:23
Laibschaha, no binaries, noted09:23
Laibschwill an upload get rejected if there is a binary?09:23
Laibschor will it simply be discarded?09:23
LaneyDon't remember, probably rejection - try with a PPA if you want09:26
cjwatsonIt will be rejected, yes09:26
cjwatsonDebian's moving towards source-only uploads too - in many cases you at least *can* now upload that way09:27
Laibschin Ubuntu there is no protection even in case of a freeze, right?  In Debian, the package would simply not migrate to testing.09:29
Laibschso more responsibility09:29
pittiLaney: we have the same now -- stuff is held in -proposed during freezes09:31
pittisee http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html09:31
cjwatsonunstable is to testing as vivid-proposed is to vivid, very roughly09:35
cjwatsonthough the details of the rules are different - most notably, we have no migration delay09:36
LaneyWe don't have a freeze for Feature Freeze either, you have to look out for that yourself09:38
LaibschAh, that is good.09:39
Laibschone more safety net09:40
LaibschAre there any checks to see that version 1.2.3-4 (a Debian release obviously) is actually what I claim it to be?09:40
cjwatsonusually verbatim syncs are performed by copying publication records around in Launchpad, rather than you uploading it independently09:41
LaibschI'm not looking for loop-holes (well, I am but only to understand where I need to pay attention and where I can rely on safety nets being in place)09:41
LaibschOK, can I do that in LP now?09:41
Laibschor only core devs09:42
cjwatsonanyone who can upload can also copy09:42
cjwatsonsyncpackage(1) will do it for you09:42
LaibschI see, thanks09:42
cjwatsonit's technically possible to reupload the same version, and it's not checked directly, although it might eventually cause flags to be raised further down the line09:42
* Laibsch back to the wiki page09:42
cjwatsonbut there's normally no good reason to09:42
cjwatson(except for urgent syncs from incoming; but we have a part-complete plan for making that a lot quicker, will hopefully finish it in the new year)09:43
Laibschmy question was not about reuploading the same version, but to upload something as 1.2.3-4 where people would think that to be the same as the package in Debian while I had made (intention or unintentional) changes09:50
LaibschI can make an upload to quastaging with "syncpackage -l qastaging -d experimental scanbd" to see if this works the way I want it to?09:52
cjwatsonLaibsch: such a thing is technically possible, it's not checked directly, though I think we would be pretty unimpressed if we found anyone doing it.  Assuming you aren't looking for loopholes, though, the best way to avoid this is to rely solely on syncpackage or similar when intending to copy packages from Debian09:57
cjwatsonLaibsch: I don't think copy jobs run against qastaging will be processed09:58
Laibschyes, like I said, I am not looking for loopholes, just things that would make you guys unimpressed09:58
LaibschI'd like to avoid that ;-)09:58
cjwatsonLaibsch: just doing "syncpackage -d experimental scanbd" should be fine; it'll prompt you for what version you're copying, and assuming you vouch for that then it will either work or fail, it's not going to randomly do something else09:59
Laibschthat sounds really good09:59
Laibschqastaging fails: http://paste.debian.net/137238/10:02
Laibschbut production seems to do the right thing10:02
Laneyhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scanbd/1.4.1-1 it is working10:04
cjwatsonLaibsch: Yeah, gina probably isn't running there10:17
cjwatson(the thing that imports Debian Packages/Sources files)10:17
Laibschawesome!10:21
Laibschthanks10:21
cjwatsonbasically qastaging isn't in general set up for QA of Ubuntu archive stuff10:22
Laibschdoes LP provide me with a set of the packages I have now upload rights to?  I'd like to be able to refer to it in the future when in doubt and most importantly it would be nice to have a view of bug tickets restricted to those packages. Does LP provide that for me with a simple click?10:38
Laibschhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/~r0lf/+packagebugs comes kind of close10:39
Laibschwell, not really10:40
cjwatsonLaibsch: not in the web UI, but lp:ubuntu-archive-tools has edit-acl, which has a query function: edit-acl -p r0lf query10:50
cjwatsonLaibsch: for a bug view, your best bet is to subscribe to bugs for each of the relevant packages, and then you can use https://bugs.launchpad.net/~/+packagebugs10:51
LaibschAh, the one you used.  I automatically assumed that was something only for the super-powers.  Thanks.  I will refer to that and feed an API script with its output to get my bug list, I guess.10:51
cjwatsonLaibsch: which you can do from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffgtk "Subscribe to bug mail" etc., or it's easy to script by something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/9559306/10:53
cjwatson(hm, the list of packages should probably be positional arguments in that script; anyway)10:53
cjwatsonso http://paste.ubuntu.com/9559315/ I guess10:54

Mirv(repeat from the morning) would any core-dev review/ack/nack the debian/* part of the following changes from Unity team related to multi-arch? https://ci-train.ubuntu.com/job/ubuntu-landing-012-2-publish/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/packaging_changes_compiz_1%3A0.9.12.0+15.04.20141210.2-0ubuntu1.diff12:46
pittiMirv: weird repetitions in the changelog ?12:47
Mirvpitti: CI Train is sometimes hard to keep behaving when multiple merges happen12:48
pittiMirv: looks ok to me, although I don't understand the fuss around it -- why bother making paths in compiz M-A compatible and adding "M-A: no"?12:49
Mirvpitti: ok. the MP is https://code.launchpad.net/~bregma/compiz/lp-1395105/+merge/243031 stating "where possible". they started with making everything m-a, and then backed up for those that had /usr/bin content12:53
MirvI can file a bug if there are any suggestions for future work12:54
pittiMirv: right, at least for the libs and python12:54
pittiMirv: nah, don't worry; let users file bugs if they actually need it :)12:54

pittihallyn: hey, how are you?15:54
pittihallyn: OOI, what is the reason why we can't enable cgmanager in Debian by default?15:54
pittihallyn: I see that it certainly shouldn't run all the time, but could we do something like D-BUS or socket activation?15:54
hallynpitti: bc systemd doens't want us to16:07
pittihallyn: oh, so it does conflict to systemd? (I misunderstood that then)16:07
pittithere's certainly a high chance that they do16:07
pittiwell, at least since recently when systemd started to put processes into all cgroup controllers16:07
pittibefore that, systemd only touched teh "systemd" controller, so they shouldn't have interfered16:08
pittihallyn: but we don't do that ^ (LXC user container support) on Debian -- so if they already collide on Debian, they will collide even harder in Ubuntu now16:08
pittihallyn: so in that case I guess we close the cgmanager task, and fix that in UAL?16:09
hallynpitti: no, they don't "conflict".  they work fine together.  Systemd however wants by default to control all the cgroups themsevles16:10
pittihallyn: well, but that's only true with the ubuntu patch to handle all controllers, not just the private systemd one?16:10
* pitti confused16:10
hallynso systemd would claim they "conflict" in that systemd can't make educated ecisions if someone else is making changes16:11

infinityhallyn: Given it's a 1-line patch, if the patch was identical on U and T, and tested okay on U, I'd be inclined to just call it good in both places.20:46
infinityhallyn: qemu on T isn't entirely ppc64el ready anyway, AFAIK, so proper testing would fall flat pretty quickly after that bug.20:47
hallyninfinity: ok, thx.  (working on verifying the other bug in -proposed right now so we can clear that logjam)20:50
infinityhallyn: Just double-check the patch really is identical on both before handwaving the T verification. :P20:51
hallynok20:51
infinityhallyn: Though, actually, it shouldn't need a ppc64el host to test, if you can convince libvirt to start a ppc64 guest on your x86 machine.20:52
infinityhallyn: Fully emulated qemu-system-ppc64 works great on x86 (a bit slow, but works).20:53
mitya57shadeslayer, apt-get(8) says that "apt-get returns zero on normal operation, decimal 100 on error."20:53
hallyninfinity: oh, i thought the bug required kvm (since it requires access to ppc64-specific sys info)21:00
infinityhallyn: The 1-liner is just giving access to /usr/share/slof, which is the loadable firmware, nothing to do with the host arch.21:03
infinityhallyn: Oh, I see, there's also a line for reading the host's devicetree.21:04
hallynyeah i don't know what happened with the changelog there21:04
