[00:17] <flexiondotorg> infinity, cyphermox If you get contacted by MrBIOS about the A-EON Cyrus PPC64 boards.
[00:17] <flexiondotorg> MrBIOS added the required support to mainline Linux 4.4
[00:18] <flexiondotorg> He maybe able to get boards for you in exchange for helping add support for these device inti Ubuntu.
[00:18] <flexiondotorg> Just a heads up.
[01:24] <MrBIOS> infinity: cyphermox either of you around by chance?
[01:25] <cyphermox> yeah
[01:37] <MrBIOS> cyphermox: were you by chance at UbuCon at SCaLE 14x in Pasadena?
[01:37] <cyphermox> no, sorry
[01:38] <MrBIOS> no worries, just curious
[01:38] <cyphermox> I watched some presentations on youtube ;)
[09:22] <infinity> flexiondotorg: Always happy to have more PPC kit in my house, have him email me or something.
[09:37] <flexiondotorg> infinity, He has your details and cyphermox too.
[09:46] <flexiondotorg> infinity, If you have a sec could you update ubuntu-mate-meta please?
[09:46] <flexiondotorg> Has updates so ubuntu-mate-base will work.
[09:47] <infinity> flexiondotorg: Looking.
[09:47] <flexiondotorg> Cheers.
[10:02] <infinity> flexiondotorg: Does this close any bugs (for the changelog)?
[10:05] <infinity> flexiondotorg: "Sadly, this is not something we can address in Ubuntu MATE Desktop because we can't currently mark packages as recommended in the seeds."
[10:05] <infinity> flexiondotorg: Of course you can have recommends.  We use them liberally in ubuntu.
[10:05] <infinity> flexiondotorg: You even have a bunch in your metapackages...
[10:09] <infinity> flexiondotorg: Oh, but you use no-follow-recommends (ick), which might make that tougher.
[10:10] <infinity> flexiondotorg: If the argument there was to make things slimmer, perhaps worth revisiting when you have a slim and fat product.
[11:26] <flexiondotorg> infinity, The reason for no-follow is because Unity and GNOME3 stuff will get pulled in otherwise.
[11:26] <flexiondotorg> So I have to hand resolve recommends.
[11:27] <flexiondotorg> I need to file several patches to other packages before I can stop using no-follow.
[11:27] <flexiondotorg> infinity, I've got the go ahead from xubuntu to file merge proposals for Xubuntu Base and Ubuntu MATE Base
[11:27] <infinity> flexiondotorg: Yeahp, would be nice to see if that's fixable.
[11:28] <flexiondotorg> Should I subscribe ubuntu-release or just yourself?
[11:28] <infinity> flexiondotorg: ~ubuntu-cdimage and ~adconrad
[11:28] <flexiondotorg> Thanks
[11:28] <infinity> (I'm in the former, but the explicit ping doesn't hurt)
[11:41] <flexiondotorg> infinity, All filed. Thanks for help on this.
[12:58] <rtg> can I get linux-snapdragon and -meta accepted from the Xenial NEW queue ?
[13:06] <infinity> rtg: Not without it being reviewed, and me being grumpy about everything about it.
[13:07] <rtg> infinity, well I can't know what you are grumpy about until you tell me.  I cloned it from raspi2, so they both have the same issues
[13:07] <infinity> rtg: I haven't reviewed it yet, so was holding off on the grump.
[13:08] <rtg> infinity, it is a 4.2 kernel for now, but we plan to update it to 4.4 before release
[13:08] <infinity> rtg: But the most obvious one is "why?" ... With, I assume your response being "cause we need the 96boards branch to make it go and we don't want to review all of that for suitability in master/generic", which then leads to "why not a 96boards kernel instead of a snapdragon-specific one, then?"
[13:16] <flexiondotorg> wxl, All participating flavours are ready.
[13:16] <flexiondotorg> wxl, Have you agree a release ETA with slangasek?
[14:34] <wxl> flexiondotorg: we have not set an ETA, but just that we'd do it friday
[14:35] <wxl> slangasek: when do you want to press the button?
[14:35] <flexiondotorg> wxl, OK. It is 14:32 here.
[14:35] <wxl> over here it is Fri Jan 29 06:35:56 PST 2016
[16:40] <LocutusOfBorg> ^^^^ accepting fonts-android should make renpy and request-tracker4 migrate
[16:40] <LocutusOfBorg> thanks!!!
[16:54] <slangasek> wxl: whenever you ask me to :)
[17:06] <flexiondotorg> slangasek, wxl I'm going to be leaving work in 25mins so won't be around to send the email announcement for a few hours.
[17:06] <flexiondotorg> wxl, The draft is ready, you know where it is :-)
[17:58] <wxl> slangasek: i guess i'll wait a few hours until i hear back from flexiondotorg
[17:58] <wxl> suffice it to say we're ready to go tho
[18:00] <slangasek> wxl: ah?  what are you waiting to hear back from him on?  I got the impression he was saying they were ready
[18:00] <slangasek> or do you mean, wait until he's back so he can send the mail?
[18:01] <wxl> slangasek: well he originally said he would so if he can that'd be super fab as he won't be at work whilst i am just getting at work
[18:01] <wxl> slangasek: the thing is already prepped though, so i can send it out now if need be
[18:09] <slangasek> wxl: well, do you want me to push the button now, or wait?
[18:11] <wxl> slangasek: please wait
[18:12] <slangasek> ok
[19:21] <flexiondotorg> wxl, What is it you need from me?
[19:21] <flexiondotorg> Everything is set.
[19:21] <flexiondotorg> I'm not at a computer for the next 2 hours.
[19:21] <flexiondotorg> But the announcement is drafted.
[19:21] <flexiondotorg> You can cut and paste and send.
[19:22] <flexiondotorg> When I'm back home I'll catch up on IRC.
[19:22]  * flexiondotorg is away...
[19:38] <wxl> slangasek: hit the button and i'll have a message out in just a bit
[19:41] <slangasek> wxl: in progress
[19:51] <slangasek> utlemming: alpha-2 cloud image publication ready?
[19:52] <utlemming> slangasek: yup, there's good to go, url is live
[19:52] <slangasek> ok
[19:52] <slangasek> wxl: mirrors syncing
[20:04] <wxl> slangasek: do i post to ubuntu-announce or just ubuntu-devel-announce
[20:04] <wxl> ?
[20:04] <slangasek> wxl: ubuntu-devel-announce only
[20:04] <wxl> thanks
[20:04] <wxl> getting it out now
[20:10] <wxl> slangasek: sent. thank you so much. is ubuntu going to participate in beta1?
[20:10] <slangasek> wxl: no; we do one beta and the release
[20:10] <wxl> slangasek: ok. i'll see if i can muster some support for community release tasks for beta1 then.
[20:11] <slangasek> wxl: (announce message moderated)
[20:12] <flocculant> wxl: I'm already listed for b1
[20:13] <wxl> slangasek: thank you sir
[20:13] <wxl> and flocculant thank you for being on it (as usual) XD
[20:17] <flocculant> might be nice to see people that don't bother to help out though
[20:18] <wxl> yeah well i guess the release manager pool is relatively limited
[20:18] <wxl> but i couldn't help but agree
[20:19] <flocculant> well it's relatively limited ofc - but there are gnome,studio and kylin
[20:19] <wxl> mythbuntu, edubuntu, etc
[20:19] <flocculant> studio though tends not to alpha like us
[20:19] <wxl> yes agree
[20:19]  * tgm4883 pops his head in
[20:19] <flocculant> pretty sure that both myth and edu are LTS only - so bit harsh perhaps on them :)
[20:20] <flocculant> hi tgm4883 :)
[20:20] <wxl> true true
[20:20] <wxl> but maybe they have more time to burn flocculant XD
[20:20] <flocculant> heh
[20:20] <tgm4883> whats the problem?
[20:21] <flocculant> there's not as such - not with you :)
[20:21] <flocculant> 'community need to deal with the alpha/beta's that ubuntu don't - with canonical help
[20:22] <flocculant> it tends to be the same people do the dealing
[20:22] <flocculant> but as I said afaik you and edubuntu are LTS only
[20:22] <tgm4883> ok
[20:23] <flocculant> so bit harsh to expect anything for the once you might get involved in it prior to ubuntu's only beta for an LTS
[20:24] <tgm4883> what sort of involment are we looking for here?
[20:24] <wxl> here's my other problem
[20:24] <wxl> we don't even really have a wiki page discussing this
[20:25] <flocculant> tgm4883: not much tbh - pen the release announcement, chivvy teams involved to get things done
[20:25] <wxl> oh we do!
[20:25] <wxl> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityMilestoneProcess
[20:25] <wxl> i'm going to link that
[20:25] <wxl> once the wiki sso completes
[20:26] <wxl> talk to you guys in a couple days :/
[20:26] <flocculant> tgm4883: most importantly be available for whoever is helping on the canonical side - slangasek this time, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseTaskSignup
[20:26] <flocculant> wxl: good luck :p
[20:29] <wxl> there https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseTaskSignup
[20:32]  * flexiondotorg returns
[20:32] <flexiondotorg> wxl, Yo.
[20:32] <flexiondotorg> How does it?
[20:32] <wxl> flexiondotorg: we're released!
[20:34] <flexiondotorg> wxl Just caught the backlog :-)
[20:34] <flexiondotorg> wxl, Excellent. Well done. ANd thanks to slangasek for helping us out :-)
[20:34] <wxl> +1 flexiondotorg
[20:34] <wxl> thank you slangasek :)
[20:34] <wxl> and thank you flexiondotorg
