| hallyn | mbiebl: hi, can you point me to a url explaining how to have a systemd service not restart on package reinstall? (i.e. to make dh_installinit --no-restart-on-upgrade work) | 13:37 |
| mbiebl | hallyn: is that a package without a sysvinit script, i.e. systemd service file only? | 13:38 |
| hallyn | mbiebl: yeah, looks like only upstart and systemd. | 13:38 |
| hallyn | (pkg is lxc) | 13:38 |
| mbiebl | then use dh_systemd_start --no-restart-on-upgrade | 13:38 |
| hallyn | call that after the dh_installinit? | 13:38 |
| mbiebl | is the package using dh? | 13:39 |
| hallyn | uh. yeah. i think. | 13:39 |
| hallyn | i get the pkging type names confused | 13:39 |
| mbiebl | then use the usual override_dh_systemd_start: ... | 13:39 |
| hallyn | ok, but so - should this NOT be considered a bug in dh_installinit? | 13:40 |
| mbiebl | what do you mean? | 13:40 |
| hallyn | i.e. what used to just work with dh_installinit --no-restart-on-upgrade now requires extra steps... | 13:40 |
| mbiebl | dh_installinit deals with sysv init scripts primarily | 13:41 |
| mbiebl | and handles .service files if the names match | 13:41 |
| mbiebl | hallyn: one could argue, that the functionality of dh-systemd should be merged into dh_installinit, but at the time, it seemed better to do it in a separate helper | 13:43 |
| hallyn | i suspect dh-systemd adds power that justifies its existing, but it does seem to me like dh_installinit should be able to handle the arguemnts it says it handles | 13:43 |
| hallyn | or, at least the manpage should be updated to say that no-restart-on-upgrade doesn't work with systemd by itself :) | 13:44 |
| hallyn | mbiebl: but thanks! i'll try this out. | 13:44 |
| mbiebl | well, --no-restart-on-upgrade works with systemd | 13:44 |
| hallyn | ? | 13:44 |
| hallyn | not in dh_installinit though | 13:45 |
| mbiebl | say you have a /etc/init.d/foo and foo.service and you use dh_installinit --no-restart-on-upgrade | 13:45 |
| mbiebl | invoke-rc.d will correctly handle that | 13:45 |
| hallyn | i only have foo.service | 13:45 |
| mbiebl | and not restart the service file on upgrades | 13:46 |
| mbiebl | hallyn: that's what I tried to explain, apparently I failed | 13:46 |
| hallyn | so if i had a /etc/init.d/foo, it wouldn't restart on upgrade? | 13:46 |
| mbiebl | yes | 13:46 |
| hallyn | and it would start both foo.service and /etc/init.d/foo? | 13:46 |
| mbiebl | no, only foo.service obviously | 13:46 |
| mbiebl | (under systemd) | 13:47 |
| mbiebl | if there is no sysv init script, dh_installinit will do nothing | 13:47 |
| hallyn | hm. we *have* sysv jobs, maybe installing those is the way to go | 13:47 |
| mbiebl | so dh_systemd_start kicks in | 13:47 |
| mbiebl | and you get the default behaviour of dh_systemd_start | 13:47 |
| mbiebl | which is to restart on upgrades | 13:47 |
| mbiebl | so you need to override that | 13:47 |
| mbiebl | via override_dh_systemd_start:\n dh_systemd_start --no-restart-on-upgrades | 13:48 |
| mbiebl | has it become clearer, how it works? | 13:49 |
| mbiebl | (nobody said, supporting multiple init systems wouldn't be simple) | 13:49 |
| hallyn | mbiebl: so in the past dh_instlalinit worked for all inits. Is the thing I'm missing that 'dh_installinit' simply isn't meant to work with systemd? | 13:49 |
| hallyn | mbiebl: yeah i think i get it better now. I'll get something worked out - thanks! | 13:50 |
| mbiebl | hallyn: upstart units don't need to be enabled | 13:50 |
| mbiebl | and we need some flexibility in the enabling and starting bits | 13:51 |
| mbiebl | so the helpers were split into dh_systemd_enable and dh_systemd_start | 13:51 |
| hallyn | and i don't need to put a call to dh_systemd_start under dh_installinit or anything, just put in the override_dh_systemd_start? | 13:51 |
| mbiebl | something which was odd to cram into dh_installinit | 13:51 |
| mbiebl | right, you override as any other dh command | 13:51 |
| hallyn | mbiebl: yeah i can believe it would've been awkward. I only think that i'm not the only one confused and that the manpages should spell out to look at dh_systemd_start :) I'll make a note to look into a docs patch | 13:52 |
| hallyn | mbiebl: thanks again | 13:52 |
| mbiebl | https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-utopia/network-manager.git/tree/debian/rules#n61 | 13:53 |
| mbiebl | dh_installinit's behaviour really becomes awkward if you want to achieve something like that | 13:54 |
| rbasak | infinity: I'm interested in your opinion on bug 1194074 please. Clearly user error, but it seems to be that we're leading them into it, and apache2's approach is better. What do you think, please? | 13:54 |

| rbasak | teward: ^^ | 15:14 |
| infinity | rbasak: Well, it is for applications, yeah, but it still mentions that the default docroot is /var/www/html, so one can infer that it should apply to servers. | 15:15 |
| rbasak | Yeah | 15:15 |
| infinity | rbasak: It's not a policy "must" or anything there, but I'd still consider it reasonable guidance for all httpds. | 15:15 |
| rbasak | I certainly get the impression that this is the intent, and it's never been a point of contention before nginx. | 15:15 |
| Odd_Bloke | There's also https://lintian.debian.org/tags/dir-or-file-in-var-www.html | 15:16 |
| infinity | rbasak: Certainly, pointing the default docroot to an FHS location owned by the package manager isn't sane. | 15:16 |
| infinity | rbasak: I'd argue they should ship their bit in /usr/share (as they do), and iff /var/www/html is empty, add a symlink to their index.html (and if not, leave it alone). | 15:17 |
| rbasak | Yeah that sounds reasonable | 15:17 |

| dragos | hi | 15:52 |
| teward | infinity: i think that was brought up in the given bug that was linked - nginx maintainers said "This is the root [current] in accordance with policy." | 15:55 |
| teward | rbasak: infinity: I would love that policy to have better wording, the next question is given the current hostility situation on this, should this be elevated higher than package maintainers in Debian to get authoritative policy on the decision | 15:56 |
| teward | or is that even possible? | 15:56 |
| teward | I know the Ubuntu politics, moreso than Debian | 15:56 |
| teward | (I actually try and AVOID Debian politics altogether) | 15:56 |
| teward | (at least, from the political/policy determination/interpretation side() | 15:56 |
| infinity | teward: It could be brought to the TC in Debian, though it would be smarter to try to get concensus on adding stronger wording to policy, with the nginx maintainers' input. | 15:57 |
| infinity | teward: That said, Debian's nginx maintainers refusing to move on this is no excuse for us not fixing it in Debian. | 15:58 |

| teward | infinity: i'm about to unarchive the bug in Debian on this for nginx maintainers. | 15:59 |
| infinity | teward: Meh, it's not really that different anymore. And we do have "weak ownership" of some packages/sets in Ubuntu where you'll get smacked down pretty hard if you try to override those people. | 15:59 |
| dragos | im making cool ubuntu image for older pc's but with new apearane | 15:59 |
| teward | infinity: i'm of the preference that community or team consensus is better than 'weak ownership' - in this case, nginx is 'weakly' maintained by me but ultimately I stand down in favor of Server, Release, SEcurity, etc. team governance | 16:00 |
| teward | infinity: for all intents and purposes, I'm tempted to unarchive the bug in Debian, and say "Wait a minute, what about this policy? https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s-web-appl ..." | 16:00 |
| teward | and say that the package is violating policy | 16:00 |
| teward | but the moment i do that i get negatively received | 16:01 |
| infinity | teward: Sure. Just saying it's not actually *that* much different. You're appealing to me, not because I care and want to overrule you, but because you trust my input. That's just being a humble maintainer. Same happens in any distro (and doesn't happen, when egos get in the way). | 16:01 |
| teward | Right | 16:02 |
| infinity | teward: That policy wording really can't be used as a stick to smack people with, as it's neither directed at httpd maintainers, nor is it stated as a "must" anywhere. But it's a good talking point, since it certainly IMPLIES that the "default" docroot should be consistent, and consistently /var/www/html | 16:02 |
| teward | mmm | 16:02 |
| teward | i need to reexamine the policy, the prior arguments given, and then reach out again about the bug, with a stressor on "I want more than just Michael's opinion on this, I'd like other maintainers to weigh in" | 16:03 |
| infinity | teward: Anyhow, I'd honestly just fix it in Ubuntu for now, submit the patch to Debian without any inflamatory comment, and let them deal with it. | 16:03 |
| teward | infinity: i'm more tempted to see what their response will be | 16:03 |
| infinity | teward: And if it's something you feel passionate about, bring up a policy ammendment to set this slightly more in stone for all web servers. | 16:03 |
| teward | I expect a "[CENSORED] you, and [censored] the people affected" | 16:04 |
| teward | which is the current state | 16:04 |
| teward | infinity: i have 0 say in Debian, nor am I familiar with that current state - i would be petitioning for the policy rereview anyways given my current level of passion and drive on this | 16:04 |
| teward | infinity: if i were to propose such policy amendment who do I petition? | 16:04 |
| teward | (brb lunch, i'll respond to comments after i return) | 16:04 |
| cjwatson | debian-policy@ | 16:04 |
| teward | cjwatson: debian-policy @ debian ? | 16:05 |
| infinity | teward: File a bug on debian-policy, if you have an ammendment ready, or a mail to debian-policy@ if you want a discussion. | 16:05 |
| infinity | teward: @lists.d.o | 16:05 |
| teward | infinity: i probably will mail in on the discussion first | 16:05 |
| cjwatson | you should cc affected lists/maintainers/etc. though, people aren't generally expected to keep up with everything on -policy | 16:05 |
| infinity | s/everything/anything/ | 16:05 |
| teward | cjwatson: i intended to CC the maintainers group for nginx | 16:06 |
| teward | or rather, each of them, since it's comaintainership and not team based | 16:06 |
| cjwatson | but also other www maintainers | 16:06 |
| infinity | teward: Yeah, all httpd maintainers. | 16:06 |
| cjwatson | a policy change would affect all of them | 16:06 |
| teward | there's no list for that is it? | 16:06 |
| infinity | teward: Since the point of this is standardisation. | 16:06 |
| cjwatson | teward: dunno, your job to figure that out | 16:06 |
| teward | i mean, that's... what, lighttpd, apache2, nginx, probably smaller ones... | 16:06 |
| cjwatson | (that is, the job of the person proposing a change) | 16:06 |
| teward | heheheh | 16:06 |
| teward | i'll go hunting then | 16:06 |
| infinity | teward: Check maintainer fields. debian-apache@lists.d.o, for instance. | 16:06 |
| cjwatson | have a look on http://lists.debian.org/ too | 16:07 |
| teward | even if the battle ends up with me smacked | 16:07 |
| teward | (back in a bit I need food) | 16:07 |
| cjwatson | debian-webapps maybe | 16:07 |
| cjwatson | though that might be defunct ... | 16:07 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Given that current policy seems aimed at webapps already, I hope they agree. :P | 16:07 |
| infinity | (but it's silly to tell webapps people where the default docroot is and not tell httpd people to serve stuff there, so clearly someone needs to write gooder) | 16:08 |
| dragos | help i have an pc and it says to login i put my password and it logs out and asks me again to login | 16:08 |
| infinity | Pretty sure this all came about when apache1.3/2 were the only really viable web servers in the archive, and they decided the docroot, so no one thought an httpd policy was necessary. | 16:09 |
| Gallomimia | dragos: i've had that problem before. errors in X configuration. #ubuntu should be able to help | 16:13 |
| dragos | some dude banned me from #ubuntu for no reasion | 16:13 |
| cjwatson | dragos: I'm sorry, but this channel isn't for escalations from #ubuntu. Perhaps you could try askubuntu.com for a calmer environment than IRC | 16:18 |
| dragos | bye | 16:20 |
| dragos | gtg | 16:20 |
| teward | infinity: perhaps it's time to revisit that then | 16:30 |
| teward | on the Debian side | 16:30 |
| teward | cjwatson: infinity: so basically i have to email the maintainers for the source packages of everything here , while emailing the discussion list? https://packages.debian.org/unstable/httpd/ | 16:39 |
| teward | (to propose a more set-in-stone discussion on the HTTPd enforcement of web docroots) | 16:40 |
| teward | as well as their webapps list? | 16:40 |
| cjwatson | I suspect everything there is a bit much, the apache modules don't matter for this | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | but I'm not that familiar with this, I was just giving general pointers | 16:42 |
| * teward shrugs | 16:42 | |
| teward | might be easier to just submit a bug for the amendment then | 16:42 |
| teward | although this is what i think is the conflict point in the same policy doc infinity linked: "Instead they should use the /usr/share/doc/package directory for documents and register the Web Application via the doc-base package" | 16:44 |
| teward | i think that leads to confusion and there should be one set-in-stone one :/ | 16:44 |
| * teward shrugs | 16:44 | |
| teward | infinity: input would be nice, should i target everyone in the httpd subsection or just the major httpds? Since I don't think there's a complete list of httpds out there | 16:44 |
| infinity | teward: I'd go with everything that 'Provides: httpd', probably, as that implies they're providing a standard interface. | 16:50 |
| infinity | teward: I'd argue that standard interface isn't just about serving stuff on port 80, but also which location in the filesystem they serve by default. | 16:51 |
| teward | infinity: any easy way to pull that whole list of packages short of page by page? | 16:51 |
| infinity | teward: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11926008/ | 16:51 |
| teward | oooo nice | 16:52 |
| teward | that helps narrow it | 16:52 |
| infinity | teward: But grep-dctrl would be the other right way. | 16:52 |
| teward | infinity: i'll start drafting the discussion - do you want me to include you on this as well? | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | grep-dctrl is your friend, definitely, anyone who deals with stuff across a distribution rather than just a few packages should be familiar with it | 16:54 |
| teward | (on the CC list and such) | 16:54 |
| teward | cjwatson: indeed. this is my first venture into cross-distro for more than just two packages so heh | 16:54 |
| infinity | teward: I probably won't get too involved. | 16:54 |
| teward | infinity: ack. was more for a situational awareness reason than involvement | 16:54 |
| infinity | teward: grep-dctrl example http://paste.ubuntu.com/11926018/ | 16:55 |
| infinity | Though some of those can probably be left off the list. Use a bit of common sense. :) | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | -wFProvides is handy to avoid unwanted mid-word matches | 16:56 |
| infinity | The providers of httpd-cgi (ie: web servers that can do useful things!) are a smaller and saner list. | 16:56 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Ahh, didn't realise I was substring matching there. Yes, -wFProvides httpd is a sane list. | 16:56 |
| infinity | teward: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11926020/ <-- There. | 16:57 |
| infinity | teward: Might want to re-run in a Debian chroot, in case they have ones we don't. | 16:57 |
| teward | right | 16:57 |
| teward | infinity: that does give a starting point though | 16:58 |
| infinity | teward: Realistically, you don't need 100% concensus here from every dinky thing that claims to provide an httpd, but apache, nginx, aolserver, and lighttpd at least all have a fair few users and consistency is nice. | 16:59 |
| teward | infinity: indeed, i was thinking about the major ones, didn't know aolserver was a thing though | 16:59 |
| infinity | teward: aolserver's actually not terrible. Turns out that the people who built an empire out of providing a curated version of the internet knew a thing or two about serving stuff on port 80 by the time all was said and done. | 17:01 |
| teward | heh | 17:11 |
| teward | infinity: correct, i don't need a full consensus, in theory i need simple majority | 17:11 |
| * teward misused 'consensus' earlier | 17:11 | |
| rbasak | infinity, cjwatson: just caught up. Thank you for the discussion with teward - I wasn't confident in the Debian processes involved here. I agree that it's an ambiguity in policy because nobody had reason to be better defined than "what apache does" in the past. | 17:40 |
| rbasak | I'm a little concerned about an Ubuntu delta because it involves a conffile change and moving data about for users (even if they do it themsleves). | 17:41 |
| rbasak | So I'd like to see an attempt to reach agreement to fix it in Debian first if we can do that. And it seems like that's where teward is going anyway. | 17:41 |
| rbasak | So maybe hold on an Ubuntu delta until Debian either decide or its clear that it isn't going anywhere in Debian please? | 17:41 |

| robert_ancell | slangasek, is there anything in particular I need to setup my wily box to compile with GCC5? I installed the packages and updated the symlinks but I still don't reproduce the errors in the PPA for zeitgeist | 23:48 |
| robert_ancell | Wondering if there's another package that might be affecting it | 23:48 |
| slangasek | jamespage: it looks like most of the openstack packages' autopkgtests are failing in wily now because they're uninstallable due to the sqlalchemy transition. Is someone working on fixing the versioned deps on older sqlalchemy? | 23:51 |
| slangasek | jamespage: fwiw I'm asking about this because sqlalchemy is one of the packages that needed rebuilding against python3.5... it's rebuilt, but is clearly incompatible with openstack currently in wily | 23:52 |
| slangasek | robert_ancell: I'd say the most reliable way to reproduce it would be to enable that ppa in your sources.list | 23:52 |
| robert_ancell | slangasek, yeah, there is a lot of stuff in that PPA though... | 23:53 |
| slangasek | robert_ancell: right, you wouldn't need to install it all, but you'd want to pull your build-dependencies from there | 23:53 |
| robert_ancell | Good point | 23:53 |
| slangasek | robert_ancell: what I do notice from eyeballing the logs, the failing test links against xapian and xapian is in the list of packages pulled from the ppa | 23:55 |
