Mirvok I guess the GCC6 is now causing autopkgtest problems, so long Qt, KDE migration. but unity8 itself would now pass autopkgtests, which was the last blocker before.05:55
flocculantinfinity: doesn't look like yak iso's built last night - or at least those which I'd expect to see a version dated 05 at this time05:57
Mirvbut could you somehow hint that always the latest unity8 would be used for autopkgtest? for example http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#qtbase-opensource-src uses the current release pocket version which cannot be installed with the new qtbase.05:58
Mirvbecause otherwise even though eg unity-scope-click wouldn't segfault (gcc6? new boost?) the whole excuses page wouldn't be green because of the old unity8 results05:59
Mirvof course, if you'd think it's acceptable, just allow Qt, KDE migrate to release pocket regardless of the new transition problems06:00
Mirvamong else unity-scope-click did pass before06:00
Mirvnow one of the tests segfault06:04
Mirvanyway, feedback/help welcome, the Qt/KDE won't migrate by itself ever regardless, some hinting will be required06:05
infinityflocculant: Oh, right, I need to reenable cron.  I had it off to not mess with my release.06:42
flocculant:D06:42
flocculantI thought it might have been something like that06:43
infinityflocculant: Fixed.06:45
flocculantinfinity: thanks - have a more relaxing day today :)06:45
infinityflocculant: I'm taking Friday off, so it better be relaxing.06:45
flocculant\o/06:46
flocculantinfinity: have a great weekend then06:46
LocutusOfBorganybody working on ghc transition?10:44
Mirvhi! Qt and KDE could migrate, but I need archive admin help12:22
jbichaAAs, you can reject the older numix-gtk-theme12:22
Mirv1. qml-module-qtpositioning would need promoted to main so that qtlocation5-examples would work: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#qtlocation-opensource-src12:22
Mirv2. some more s390x binary removals would be needed that pitti was doing a lot because of the upstart problem: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#qtpurchasing-opensource-src and http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#ubuntu-system-settings12:23
Mirvseb128: ^ can you help?12:25
Laneyplasma-workspace needs NBS removed too12:26
xnoxMirv, hm, confused. britney says libpay2 is not satisfyable on s390x, yet it is built there....12:28
xnoxMirv, it is less work not to remove s390x....12:28
seb128Mirv, sorry but not atm, using my other laptop/doing some debugging and I don't have easy access to the acl from there, maybe later when I'm back at my desk12:28
xnoxhuh, built but not available12:29
Laneyit's been removed12:29
Laneyhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/yakkety/s390x/libpay212:29
xnoxwhy?12:29
Mirvxnox: I remember pitti mentioning something about links, maybe the fact that it was binary copied from a PPA12:29
seb128whoever decided to delete upstart on s390x would have better fixed the build12:29
xnoxslangasek, what does ANAIS stand for12:30
seb128it's costing way more effort to deal with the things that keep getting blocked that it would have been to fix the build12:30
Laneyarchitecture not allowed in source12:30
Mirvxnox: so there is a big list of reverse dependencies removed (but not all yet as shown), because upstart on s390x did not get fixed but removed instead12:30
Laneyin this case it build-depends on libubuntu-app-launch2-dev12:31
Laneywhich is not present on s390x12:31
xnoxto be fair we all do have better things to deal with then chasing ubuntu-app-launch on s390x, but i see how much churn such a removal is causing.12:32
xnoxmaybe we (I) should have listened to steve in the beginning and like not compile upstart on s390x at all12:32
Laneythat's just broken because of upstart isn't it?12:32
xnoxLaney, disable upstart testsuite on s390x, upload, live happily ever after?12:33
Laneyheh12:33
seb128somebody (Steve?) said that the issue was no s390x though but building on xenial builders12:33
Mirvkernel issue if I recall12:34
xnoxseb128, infinity did12:34
seb128and that it's going to bite other archs if we need to SRU a fix to xenial12:34
xnoxso maybe we do need to fix upstart12:34
seb128so somebody needs to fix upstart eventually anyway12:34
Laneyanyway12:34
Laneythe removal hasn't been followed through to the end12:34
Laneyso now we have issues like this12:34
xnoxbut i don't get this claim.... aren't our virtual builders running xenial?12:34
seb128well now, but at the time the xenial upstart was built it was on older builders it seems12:35
xnox3.13.0-92-generic12:35
seb128rebuild today wouldn't work12:35
* Laney tests that claim12:35
Laneyhttps://launchpad.net/~laney/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/1056829812:36
xnoxi wonder why cloud-builders are not using xenial cloud images as base12:37
xnoxfor buildds12:37
xnoxcjwatson, ^ or is the move gonna happen only after trusty is end of live?12:37
xnoxhow about using hwe xenial kernel in the trusty cloud image?12:37
Mirvanyway, it'd be nice if an archive admin could promote the qml-module-qtpositioning , NBS remove plasma-workspace and then remove the packages being discussed if/when upstart isn't going to be fixed soon still12:39
Mirvthat would be removal of libqt5purchasing5 qtpurchasing5-dev ubuntu-system-settings on s390x, or something else/more?12:39
MirvI wonder if didrocks would be around if seb128 might not have time at the moment12:40
LaneyCheck they have a build-dep which will prevent the binaries coming back the next time12:40
Mirvok, checking12:41
Mirvyes for qtpurchasing packages, they can't be built on s390x anymore thanks to pitti's removals12:45
Mirvhowever ubuntu-system-settings would reappear on next build, something would need to be done about that12:47
Mirvnot sure about the preferred action there, could simply state u-s-s not to build on s390x12:52
Laneyadd a build-dep on upstart or ual or something12:53
Mirvright that'd be easiest, I can propose that for the next u-s-s landing12:53
MirvI think US archive admins would be online soon, hopefully they can help with those actions above if Europeans don't have time to. I will do the u-s-s MP and check back later if there's anything else to help with, but it'd be a nice present to everyone to get the migration going (or at least closer to being reality)12:54
Mirvmade the MP https://code.launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/ubuntu-system-settings/stop_s390x_problems_depend_on_upstart/+merge/30214313:05
* xnox uploaded upstart into PPA with a testsuite fix13:14
Laney:-o13:16
Laneyis it a fix or a workaround? :P13:16
xnoxlet's wait to see if it works13:17
xnoxnon-system non-session (so upstart pretending to act like pid 1, but running as pid whatever and non-root) fails to connect to dbus when told so whilst stuck processing and spawning system jobs and generates loads of "failed to start plymouth" and what not13:17
xnoxthat test case only tries to call "initctl version" to check that upstart connects to session dbus when asked13:18
xnoxchanged test-suite to spawn upstart with "--no-startup-event" such that upstart in such configuration is simply spawned and connects to dbus, but doesn't try to mess with anything else13:18
xnoxmakes the tests pass on my machine at least, previously failing.13:19
xnoxhttps://launchpadlibrarian.net/277265629/upstart_1.13.2-0ubuntu28_1.13.2-0ubuntu29.diff.gz13:19
Mirvor hmm would apw still be around?13:20
Mirvanyhow, I'd propose trying to get Qt & KDE migrated today with the actions above, and if there is some hope with upstart start re-enabling the chain of s390x next week13:22
xnoxhm, somethings wrong build on amd64 done, still pending on s390x13:23
xnoxstill fails on s390x13:25
slangasekMirv: qtpurchasing/s390x binaries removed from yakkety-proposed; qml-module-qtpositioning promoted to main14:17
slangasekwas there anything else?14:18
Laneyslangasek: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#plasma-workspace NBS14:21
slangasekremoved14:22
sil2100Wooo \o/14:22
sil2100Let's see if we have more problems down the stack now14:22
Laneycan't imagine this will be the end of the story14:24
Laneybut it'll be clearer14:25
Mirvslangasek: sil2100: hi, thanks! there was also ubuntu-system-settings/s390x removal http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#ubuntu-system-settings15:10
Mirvand then a relook at update_output.txt probably15:10
Mirvalthough u-s-s is actually not strictly required for the transition I think15:10
Mirvsince it does not depend on the private Qt ABI. I might be wrong too. more help with parsing excuses&output would be welcome.15:11
slangasekMirv: if I delete ubuntu-system-settings/s390x now, what prevents it from coming back again?15:14
slangasekdoes it have any build-dependencies on s390x NBS packages?15:14
Laneyhe just made a MP to add that15:15
Laneya synthetic BD on upstart, or equivalent15:16
Laneyslangasek: ^-15:16
slangasekok15:16
sil2100Yeah, I reviewed that change, so it's just a matter of getting that MP released15:20
MirvI just think that's not necessarily the current remaining blocker but something else is, as u-s-s should not be a required part of the transition15:25
* Mirv -> shopping15:26
Mirv(neither is mediascanner, scopes-api etc)15:29
Mirvsil2100: slangasek: can you check if something should be simple hinted a bit more to migrate together? if I look at update_output.txt and the last occurence of qtbase including Trying easy from autohinter section, it claims relatively little amount of packages "uninstallable" (or the per architecture list), but for example gammaray, plasma-desktop, plasma-workspace can be installed together16:51
Mirvall of KDE needs to go in, as parts of it depend on Qt private 5.6 ABI and all of Frameworks / Plasma release in proposed depends on each other to go together16:52
Mirvthere are some in the lists though that do not need to migrate together with Qt/KDE16:53
Mirvthe combined set of packages that I know need to mostly go in together is the list of source names at https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-011/+packages + https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-041/+packages16:54
Mirvothers not so16:54
Mirvanyway, even if I would have more time I think I cannot think of anything else myself, I can install everything required in my yakkety-proposed while some unrelated stuff like lubuntu-qt-desktop has problems (lubuntu meta depends on Laney / tedg 's click breaking / packagekit upgrade I think)16:56
LaneyIt'll be a bit irksome if you get entangled with that one16:58
Laneyfinally ubuntu-release-upgrader is running, now samba has settled down17:01
slangasekMirv: looks to me like the current problem is autopkgtests still running for plasma-workspace17:10
k1l_hi. there is an issue with users wanting to upgrade from the EOL 15.04 right now. regular upgrade doesnt work and EOL upgrade with old-releases isnt activated yet. see bug #160979617:58
ubot5bug 1609796 in update-manager-core (Ubuntu) "cant upgrade EOL 15.04" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/160979617:58
k1l_running do-release-upgrade -d works, strangely, but i doubt that is the planned way to upgrade the 15.04 now17:59
slangasekinfinity, bdmurray: ^^ I guess that's because 15.10 had the EOL switch flipped?18:34
infinityErk, yeah, it's not been mirrored yet.18:37
infinityI guess I can flip it back until that's sorted.18:37
infinityslangasek: Reverted.   Will sort it all out on Monday.18:41
infinityslangasek: Although, the bug report is more than just old-releases mirroring, we really *should* be supporting vivid->xenial, so probably need some SRUs to address that too.18:43
bdmurrayubuntu-release-upgrader has DistUpgrade.cfg files that allow upgrading from W -> X or T -> X.  We could add more I guess.18:43
infinityAnyhow, it should be okayish with the revert for now, we can sort the proper solution.18:44
bdmurrayinfinity: did you update the changelogs server too?18:44
k1l_ok, just tested my 15.04 vbox install and the do-release-upgrade now works.18:44
infinitybdmurray: Yep.18:44
* infinity goes back to not being here, and wondering why he didn't buy a bunch of USB-C cables with his new phone.18:46
k1l_imho there should be a decision if there should be a non-LTS upgrade path overstepping some releases. iirc there were some issues when 14.10 went EOL, too.18:46
infinityk1l_: Yes, I think the right answer is that we should always support upgrades to the next LTS directly, but that means testing those upgrade paths, not just flipping a switch and hoping. :)18:47
k1l_yeah. but when 14.10 goes EOL there is no next LTS :/ imho there are some points of upgrade through that 4 years timeframe that need to have a rethink.18:48
k1l_we had lots of users in #ubuntu wanting to go from 14.04(.X) to 15.10. but the releases inbetween were EOL already.18:49
bdmurrayI thought the work I did in bug 1497024 should have allowed that.18:52
ubot5bug 1497024 in update-manager (Ubuntu Vivid) "release upgrades should jump over unsupported releases" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/149702418:52
k1l_bdmurray: ok. than maybe there is just some needed clarification on what upgrade-path is supported on what situation. in #ubuntu there were a lot of issues with the jumping over releases so most supporters told to do EOL-upgrades.18:55
bdmurrayk1l_: where would you want to see that clarification?19:03
k1l_bdmurray:  on the upgrade pages in the help or wiki dokumentation? so we have something to show people what the designed and tested upgradeplan is.19:05
slangasekMirv: so, plasma-workspace autopkgtests are failing on all archs, that's not going to migrate on its own20:20
