naccCan someone please nominate LP #997172 for Trusty and Xenial?16:16
ubot5Launchpad bug 997172 in smbldap-tools (Debian) "[SRU] smbldap-config.pl not installed" [Unknown,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/99717216:16
tewardnacc: nominated, needs approval now16:17
naccteward: thanks!16:17
tewardrbasak: ^ you able to approve the tasks?16:17
rbasaknacc, teward: done16:59
* hggdh was slower than rbasak on the trigger...17:00
tewardrbasak: thanks17:01
tewardrbasak: if I may query your brain, an issue which makes a python library's core functions unusable because it returns no data when it reaches into a DB, High or Critical ?17:01
teward(the python library doesn't work as is in the repos)17:01
tewardnot necessarily a server package, but...17:01
hggdhis it common to use this?17:02
tewardhggdh: rdepends shows python-sqlalchemy; rdepends on *that* is a lot of python-* packages.  I set it as High because it renders the thing unusable (discovered the issue during a workplace 9.10 -> 14.04 programs migration of inhouse python)17:03
tewardbut was curious if that's the right one to set17:03
tewardhggdh: also, hello in a more general sense :)17:04
hggdhteward: hello :-)17:04
hggdhif there are no "known" issues on the other packages, then high is OK17:04
tewardthat's what i thought17:05
tewardthough i didn't check the other packages17:05
tewardhggdh: I wouldn't *expect* it to be a huge issue because it's a library that allows DB interfacing with MSSQL, but... "No Data Returned From Queries" is a huge red flag17:06
tewardand been known since 201217:06
tewardwith no progress in Debian either on a fix :p17:06
hggdhught17:06
tewardthough upstream has a patch that's been around since... oooh, years.17:06
hggdhon a more meta-philosophical view, anyone depending on alchemy to get something is bound for disaster17:07
hggdhteward: did you try the patch?17:07
teward:P17:07
tewardhggdh: debdiffs locally, though on the affected systems I just used 'easy_install --upgrade pymssql', which grabs upstream's 2.x branch17:07
tewardwhile Debian and Ubuntu still use 1.0.x17:07
tewardplanned to test this evening17:08
tewardthe second part was "set up a test mssql" server.17:08
rbasakteward: what's the bug?17:08
tewardwant to guess what I hate the most?17:08
tewardrbasak: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pymssql/+bug/918896, though hggdh's analysis matched mine17:08
tewardhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pymssql/+bug/91889617:08
ubot5Launchpad bug 918896 in pymssql (Ubuntu) "No data returned from MSSQL server" [High,Confirmed]17:08
tewardoopsies17:08
* teward kicks the computer17:08
hggdhuh, the "setup & test" part?17:08
tewardhggdh: (1) set up MS Server, (2) Set up MSSQL17:08
teward(3) configure DB server17:08
teward(4) raise hell17:08
teward5 is testing, but that's after rebuilds :)17:09
rbasakteward: yeah I'd say High, because it only impacts other packages if using Python and MSSQL, which on Ubuntu is a fairly rare case.17:11
tewardindeed.17:11
tewardrbasak: that was my original assessment :)17:11
tewardbut i like second opinions :)17:11
rbasak:)17:11
tewardand third, and fourth, and fifth... *goes on and on until his need for coffee forces him to get up to get more*17:11
* hggdh sips a bit of the decaf, and laughs17:12
* teward noms chocolate-covered espresso beans in the interim until the coffee is ready :)17:12
tewardanyways, thanks rbasak for setting the tasks :)17:13
tewardnacc will be appreciative :)17:13
tewardrbasak: or any other bug lord, can someone approve my bug task nominations on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pymssql/+bug/918896 please for the series I nominated?19:36
ubot5Launchpad bug 918896 in pymssql (Ubuntu) "No data returned from MSSQL server" [High,Confirmed]19:36
tewardi have confirmations that the upstream patch works, and am prepping debdiffs.19:36
hggdhteward: you realise that first we will have to have yakkety done, right?20:48
tewardhggdh: the debdiffs i'm submitting?21:14
tewardall of them21:14
tewardbut yes21:14
tewardnot my first SRU-rodeo21:14
tewardhggdh: the debdiffs i've already prepped are precise thru yakkety21:14
tewardas soon as Chrome starts up21:14
hggdhteward: ack, I will approve all21:16
tewardhggdh: should I dump all the debdiffs or wait for yakkety?21:16
hggdhit would be better to wait for yakkety validation21:16
tewardack21:16
tewardhggdh: well, yakkety debdiff submitted there21:16
tewardbut the only people testing in Yakkety are me and maybe a few others21:17
hggdh(cuz this is, theoretically, how it should be done)21:17
tewardthough, I did test yakkety :)21:17
tewardhggdh: ack21:17
tewardhggdh: in the mean time i have a PPA to 'fix' the problem for me :P21:17
hggdhteward: anyway, I will approve the others21:17
teward(so my servers won't be impacted)21:17
tewardhggdh: if you wish, or you can wait21:17
teward:)21:17
hggdhteward: although I did not say it before: thank you :-)21:17
* teward is in no rush, but the people who have wanted this fixed for an age are :p21:17
tewardhggdh: you're welcome :)21:17
hggdhtempus fugit, and all21:18
tewardhggdh: off hand would you know the process in Debian for getting something NMU'd if there's bugs that have patches but the maintainer has been AWOL on it for years?21:26
tewards/years/several years/21:26
hggdhteward: sorry, no (if the package is orphaned, then there is nobody taking care of it)21:37
rbasakteward: have you considered applying to the bug control team?21:41
rbasakteward: I'd be happy to endorse your application (if that's a thing for bug control, I'm not sure)21:42
tewardrbasak: erm, i'm already bugcontrol21:53
tewardcan't approve tasks21:53
tewardonly nominat21:53
tewarde21:53
tewardexcept where I have upload privs (nginx)21:53
tewardwhich is how the security bug got all series set by me in one go21:54
tewardrbasak: Ubuntu Drivers members have approve-series-nomination (or whatever the permission is called)21:54
tewardrbasak: bugcontrol has 'nominate-for-series' or w/e it's called, but not approve21:55
conslohello! I have a pretty specific question about the update release process. I'm affected by this: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1573231/ which is supposedly fixed in kernel 4.4.0-23.41, which is commited-but-not-released for Xenial (as of 5-18)21:55
tewardhggdh: i'm poking #debian-devel and #debian-python now over on OFTC, see if they can't at least get the fix as well as mark it orphaned21:55
tewardhggdh: the python modules team is listed as uploader so..21:55
tewardmaybe they can get it patched, then orphan-status it21:56
tewardrbasak: also, hence why I poked you to approve the nominations on nacc's bug earlier :)21:56
consloit's commited for proposed, build succeeded as far as I can see, but it's not actually in the repo. It's seems like a pretty serious bug and it's blocking some of our projects, so I'm wondering if I can get an idea of a timeline/if there's someone to poke about things21:57
rbasakteward: oh. That's a bit rubbish :-/21:59
tewardrbasak: yes, it is, but I don't argue, because where I do most of my triage (nginx), I have series-approval rights already22:00
