infinitysaiarcot895: How do you expect it to produce a diff or know if anything's changed if it doesn't?04:32
infinitysaiarcot895: Unless you have no intention of building a source package, and you're just iterating binary test builds, then you want -b or -B (check the manpage to see the difference).04:33
saiarcot895infinity: The only changes I'm making are in the debian directory (and maybe adding a patch). Upstream sources themselves aren't being changed. I'm making a source-only package.04:33

juliankzyga: The PEP440 fix for python-apt is in wily now. I hope to get a 0.9.3.12 release out soon upstream (waiting from Debian stable release team ACK), then we can fix it in 0.9.3.12ubuntu1 for vivid. If that takes to long, we can also have a 0.9.3.11ubuntu1 before that.09:04
* juliank only closed the other bug report as fixed and kept your bug report open, because he can't do release-specific things in the bug tracker09:05
zygajuliank: thanks, let's wait and see, for the immediate problem that we were facing the affected developers just applied the debdiff locally09:21
* zyga wonders how to track a bug differently for different releases of ubuntu 09:22
juliankzyga: Oh, there's an option in launchpad for that if you have the right access level (I don't)09:23

smbpitti, not fully fresh install but updated regularly. A second with ip a, but ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0 does work and also start the dhcllient11:01
smbpitti, So yes there is a eth0 and its KVM VM11:03
smbpitti, Also it somehow uses dhcp to get its address initially and is up and working. Just not running the dhclient which then fails to renew the lease11:05

apostojhallyn: thanks for the reply. Sorry for just getting back to this. I'll just describe what I'm seeing and maybe someone can help:17:46
apostojIn /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart:37.  The comment in the all_interfaces_up function seems to indicate that a true value will be returned if the interfaces are found to be up...17:49
apostojBut the return values look swapped, zero will actually be returned if all are up17:49
apostojThis causes "static-network-up" to not be emitted. Boot then hangs until the failsafe Upstart job kicks in.17:50
smosermaybe a dumb question.18:04
smoserlaunched a wily instance. did 'apt-get install open-iscsi'.18:04
smoserthat includes /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/iscsi18:04
smoserinitramfs did not get updated18:04
smosershouldn't it?18:05
infinitysmoser: Only if the postinst runs upadte-initramfs.  initramfs-tools doesn't have a watch trigger (though, maybe it should).18:05
smoserhm..18:06
smoseri guess one way or another .18:07
infinitysmoser: apw and I have had long discussions about how much initramfs-tools triggering is suboptimal, we're working on improving life.18:07
infinitysmoser: But yeah, as it stands, anything shipping hooks should be calling update-initramfs -u in postinst.18:07
ogra_hmm18:08
infinityAnd postrm.18:08
ogra_there useed to be a trigger in the past18:08
infinityogra_: The trigger is on the binary.18:08
infinityogra_: Not on the directories.18:09
ogra_ah, k18:09
ogra_i just remember i had to suppress it for some arm stuff in the past18:09
smoser"on the binary" ?18:11
infinitysmoser: We trigger on calls to update-initramfs.18:11
infinity(And then attempt, poorly, to batch them, so you don't get 7 runs)18:11
smoserah. ok. that makes sense.18:11
smoserand yeah, i agree on 'poorly'18:11
smoser:)18:11
ogra_yeah, ususally you end up with three then or some such :)18:11
smoseris that something you're hoping to fix in wily?18:12
infinityWell, part of the problem is that the kernel forcefully skips the trigger.18:12
infinityBut it has to because the trigger is suboptimal.18:12
smosersilly kernel18:12
infinityWe have this all specced out to fix it.18:12
smoserlink ?18:12

* infinity shakes his fist.18:14
smoserthanks, infinity. i'll file a bug on openiscsi18:14
infinitysmoser: But yeah, this is something we've dealt with in conversation and rehashed over and over until we're sure we're right, but it was pending a merge and some other bits, and you know how that goes.18:14
smoseryeah. do you want me to open a bug for you ?18:15
smoserso that you can at some later point fill it in with information ?18:15
infinityNah, we're good.18:15
infinityI think Andy might have a bug already somewhere, but if not, we still know it needs fixing.18:15
smoserdo you *mind* if i open a bug ?18:17
infinityYou can if you want.18:18
smoserjust so that at some later point, when someone asks "why did update-initramfs get called 17 times and take 3 minutes?" i can point them at that bug.18:18
infinitySure.18:18
hallyntych0: apostoj it's a shell script, return 0 means true :)18:23

tych0although i can use all the help with shell scripting i can get18:24
hallynyou're just a golang fanboy and that's that18:25
infinityhallyn: Harsh.18:26
apostojhallyn: Ok that makes sense. But line 51 has "if all_interfaces_up ...", so if 0 would evaluate as false, right?18:27
infinityapostoj: 0 is always true in POSIX shell, !0 is false.18:30
apostojOh, I see. Thanks for the help.  :)18:32
infinityapostoj: If this confuses you, instead of cursing shell, you can trace this back to C, where "exit(0)" is the "I didn't have an error, yay." way to end a program.18:33
infinityapostoj: From there, it follows that shell must treat 0 as good and !0 as bad.18:34
infinity(since shell's entire raison d'etra for decades was to execute a bunch of C programs and operate on the returns)18:35
infinitys/d'etra/d'etre/18:36
apostojYes this makes sense now.18:37
apostojNow that I think about it, all shell conditionals I have used were of the form [ -f $x ],  or maybe [ $x == $y ]. I need to work on my shell skills...18:38
hallyn(lots of places - like kernel source - also treat 0 as success in c fwiw.  you only need one success value, many error values :)18:39
smoserfeel free to re-assign infinity https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/146696518:39
ubottuUbuntu bug 1466965 in initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) "update-initramfs runs more often than necessary" [Undecided,New]18:39
infinityapostoj: For the record "==" is a bashism, you want "=" up there. :)18:43
infinityhallyn: Well, the traditional Cism of "1 is success, everything else isn't" works fine too, except for the confusion between C and shell, since you're off-by-OMG-CONFUSED.18:44
infinityhallyn: The whole confusion could have been avoided in 1975 (or so), if they'd just matched 'if', 'return', and 'exit' to all use the same semantics.  But I'm fresh out of flux capacitors.18:52
infinityThough, apparently, I'm good on 80s references.18:52
slangaseksladen: Mark did raise the question on the TB of whether we would be willing to be a backup "change of venue" in case of a conflict of interest.  It was not represented as individual TB members standing in for individual CC members, as mhall119 says in that IRC log.  In any case, I don't feel that really answers the question I asked by email...18:57
mhall119slangasek: I thought that was mark's intention (individualls sitting in for other individuals), perhaps we should ask him for clarification on that point18:59
hallyninfinity: very good, the world needs more nostalgia :)19:00
infinitymhall119: Sitting in for individuals who choose to recuse themselves makes no sense, IMO.19:08
infinitymhall119: Since if one person recuses themselves, you guys can still vote without a standin.19:08
infinitymhall119: And, arguably, someone who is self-aware enough to recuse themselves is the least of your problems in a conflict of interest.19:08
infinitymhall119: As I read the thread, it was if the CC as a whole (or in large part) has a conflict of interest with the case at hand, another body should be brought in.19:08
mhall119infinity: makes sense, I just wanted to make sure that is what Mark had in mind19:10
infinitymhall119: I think that's the only way to read his mail, based on him already mentioning that individuals recusing themselves works today, but systemic conflict doesn't.19:12
infinitymhall119: I guess one could read that "if 3 people recuse, you need 3 standins", but I think if it's that systemic, you need an outside body, not fill-ins.  YMMV, etc.19:12
sladenslangasek: well, the 10 lines above are probably an even more useful result!19:18
