[08:23] <arune> I'm following the procedure on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure to nominate a newer package to 16.04 LTS
[08:24] <arune> the bug is this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1641203
[08:24] <arune> should I send a mail instead of asking here?
[08:26] <davmor2> arune: depends on the question might be better to send to the ubuntu-devel lists
[08:30] <arune> hm, according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure I should mail the ubuntu control team and the email adress is linked on https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol
[08:30] <arune> the email address is ubuntu-bugcontrol@lists.launchpad.net which I first have to be a member of to be able to send a mail
[08:31] <davmor2> arune: yes then email that list
[08:31] <arune> davmor2, I can't, I have to join the team!
[08:32] <davmor2> You shouldn't need to you should be able to send to it but it will wait for authorisation before it is displayed
[08:39] <arune> thanks davmor2, I'll try then
[10:29] <rbasak> arune, davmor2: for bug nominations, I think asking on IRC is far easier. And people usually respond within a few hours.
[11:03] <arune> rbasak, ok! then I want to nominate this bug for SRU: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1641203
[11:03] <arune> then I just hang around and get some feedback or?
[11:06] <rbasak> Looking
[11:08] <rbasak> arune: Xenial is already nominated, so consider that step of the proess complete. You can tell it's nominated because "Xenial" appears underneath ding-libs and sssd at the top, and has a Status (Triaged in this case).
[11:08] <rbasak> arune: note that it'd be normal to SRU just a backport of the fix for this particular bug. Usually we don't backport a newer version wholesale.
[11:10] <arune> aha, so I'd have to test patching the source for the correct packages
[11:13] <rbasak> Right
[11:37] <arune> rbasak, can you help me figure out which packages I need to patch? sssd is a metapackage which I assume does not have any source but just depends on the good stuff, and ding-libs I cant even find
[11:42] <rbasak> arune: sssd the binary package is a metapackage. But sssd the source package contains everything (and generates all the binary packages, including the sssd binary metapackage but also the contentful others)
[11:43] <rbasak> ding-libs also exists as a source package but there is no binary package called ding-libs
[11:43] <rbasak> arune: use "pull-lp-source ding-libs xenial" and the same for sssd.
[11:44] <arune> rbasak, ok, I'll test as soon as possible
[11:45] <arune> rbasak, and when I have done that I just ping here again and it can be brought up for consideration?
[12:13] <rbasak> arune: attach debdiffs to the bug and subscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors. That'll add it to http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/index.html. Then use the #ubuntu-devel channel to talk about the bug - technically this channel is for bug triage only.
[12:54] <arune> rbasak, what do you mean exactly with "subscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors"? a mail list subscription?
[12:55] <rbasak> arune: use "Subscribe someone else" from the web bug view.
[12:55] <rbasak> arune: and put "ubuntu-sponsors" in the box (without the tilde)
[12:55] <arune> rbasak, aha, thanks!
[12:55] <rbasak> arune: please only do that after you have attached debdiffs ready to upload to the bug.
[12:56] <arune> ok ok
[14:36] <arune> rbasak, sorry for not needing help, but I can't find the diffs for the changes mentioned on https://pagure.io/SSSD/sssd/issue/2751#comment-224593
[14:37] <arune> according to https://code.launchpad.net/sssd the git repos should be at git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/sssd.git but that seams to be dead, maybe just right now
[14:39] <arune> fatal: unable to connect to git.fedorahosted.org:
[14:39] <arune> git.fedorahosted.org[0: 209.132.181.16]: errno=Connection timed out
[14:39] <arune> git.fedorahosted.org[1: 209.132.181.15]: errno=Connection timed out
[14:39] <arune> oh, maybe they moved to github
