* infinity demotes large chunks of $world to universe.19:10
jbichainfinity: we might want folks in main for gnome-contacts or gnome-maps19:17
infinityjbicha: It can come back later if that's needed.  I assume lots of gnome will shuffle around.19:20
jbichathat's probably several weeks anyway, thanks!19:20
infinityjbicha: The only demotion so far that I've explicitly undone is network-manager-openvpn.19:20
infinityjbicha: Yeah, as I go down this list, I'm guessing almost all of the telepathy stack will end up coming back.  But I'd rather keep the reports clean from day 1 for once.  I drove everything to 0 (for the first time in a long time) before zesty release, so good to try to keep it that way.19:27
infinity(At least it'll come back by way of telepathy-glib instead of telepathy-qt ... I used to work on both at Collabora, and lemme tell you, one is a much nicer piece of software)19:28
jbichaoh, I didn't know you were at Collabora19:30
jbichaI believe telepathy is no longer required by our GNOME stack, so it might stay in universe19:30
jbichaFYI, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/GNOME/MIR_List19:30
infinityslangasek: I'm thinking we should drop /win 16319:43
infinityErr.19:43
infinityYes.  Drop win 163.19:43
infinityslangasek: I'm thinking we should drop ubuntu-touch from main.  At least, I tihnk that's what's still holding in a few bits and bobs.19:43
jbichaIf you really have 163+ windows, I think you should drop some! :)19:44
infinityI have a few more, probably.19:45
mwhudsonoo i can actually do some work today21:17
zx2c4I've got a rather pressing matter to discuss regarding the Ubuntu release process and a particular package that's posing some significant issues. Is there somebody from Canonical I could talk to in here? Thanks. --Jason21:25
infinityzx2c4: Don't ask to ask, just ask.21:26
infinityzx2c4: Although, specific issues with specific packages are usually better expressed as bug reports on said package, not a general issue with "the release process".21:28
infinity(But I suppose that depends on the nature of the bug)21:28
zx2c4hey infinity21:33
zx2c4infinity: still there?21:33
zx2c4i was just writing you an email21:34
cjwatsonThis is about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireguard/+bug/1685522, since zx2c4 seems to be averse to just coming out and saying so directly21:37
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1685522 in wireguard (Ubuntu) "out of date snapshot" [Undecided,Confirmed]21:37
zx2c4no im in the middle of typing my message!21:37
zx2c4hold on21:37
infinityzx2c4: While you were busy typing your message, I demoted it to proposed and blocked it from migrating.21:38
zx2c4I'm working on a piece of software for the Linux kernel called WireGuard. It's currently experimental, but still very usable. It has not reached a 1.0 release or even an 0.1 release. I do occasionally tag snapshots in the repo, and distributions package these snapshots, because wireguard is very useful. But it's still clearly marked as being experimental and21:38
zx2c4potentially dangerous. The pact between wireguard upstream and the distros is that if they package it, they _will_ keep their snapshot up to date. Thus, for Debian, Daniel Kahn Gillmor (dkg) has pinned the package in Debian `sid`, with a note that it shouldn't [yet] go into testing or stable, since it is experimental software. Ubuntu screwed up and somehow21:38
zx2c4imported an ancient snapshot from Debian, which is absolutely unacceptable. Either Ubuntu should not package wireguard at all, or they should keep it up to date with the Debian package. I'd most certianly prefer the latter21:38
zx2c4infinity: what does that mean exactly?21:39
infinityzx2c4: Effectively the same thing as "keeping it in sid" means in Debian.  It'll never be in another stable release until that bug is closed.21:39
zx2c4oh, interesting21:39
zx2c4so I should bookmark this bug so that I can chime in once we do reach the 0.1/1.0 release21:39
infinityzx2c4: Ubuntu didn't "screw up".  We import from Debian wholesale.21:40
zx2c4Ahh21:40
zx2c4I thought it was tagged in Debian with a special marking to prevent this?21:40
zx2c4I'm not too familiar with the release internals21:40
infinityzx2c4: We import from sid, not testing.21:40
zx2c4Is there a way that you can set this package up to continually import from sid so that it's up to date?21:40
zx2c4I'd love to have an up to date wireguard package -- and i know others would too, as it's being included in Docker's new Moby/LinuxKit project -- in ubuntu21:41
infinityzx2c4: It will do so automatically in the devel release, sure.  We don't automatically import or update anything in stable releases.21:41
zx2c4Ahhh, interesting21:41
zx2c4So Zesty is what you call a "stable" releaes?21:41
infinityAs of 10 days ago, yes.21:41
zx2c4Everytime you give something a number -- 16.10, 17.04, 17.10, 17.04... these are "stable" and are a snapshot of sid at the time21:41
zx2c4Okay, so has this snapshot been entirely removed from Zesty now?21:42
jbichais it possible to make wireguard into a snap package?21:42
infinityIt's not a snapshot of sid, per se.  We do auto-imports from sid during our devel cycle, then stop near the end so we can stabilise and prep for release.21:42
zx2c4infinity: i dont want users to install that old snapshot under any circumstances21:42
infinityzx2c4: No, it hasn't been removed from zesty.  We don't alter released series' (except with bugfix/security updates).21:42
zx2c4jbicha: the ubuntu wireguard people have this -- https://launchpad.net/~wireguard/+archive/ubuntu/wireguard -- which is a nice PPA.21:43
zx2c4infinity: that's very unfortunate21:43
cjwatsonIf it has to be removed from zesty then the only way would be to issue an "update" which is in fact an empty package.21:43
infinityzx2c4: If the package is that dire for people to install, it could be replaced with an empty package with a note explaining the situation.21:43
zx2c4infinity: i'd highly recommend doing what cjwatson recommends21:43
zx2c4okay, let's do that then21:43
zx2c4you could even point to the wireguard PPA21:43
zx2c4(which is actively maintained)21:44
zx2c4Would you like me to draft a note?21:44
infinityNote that probably none of us are keen to go to that trouble on your behalf, but feel free to proposed a package on that bug for someone to sponsor for you.21:44
jbichazx2c4: it sounds like you want wireguard completely removed from Ubuntu so that it won't automatically import from Debian at all21:44
infinitys/proposed/propose/21:44
zx2c4infinity: how does that work?21:45
zx2c4should I write an .deb package21:45
zx2c4and attach a tarball?21:45
zx2c4and then you'll get that tarball included?21:45
infinityAttach a source package, sure.  Probably wants a NEWS.Debian that explains the situation for people who did have it installed.21:46
zx2c4infinity: okay21:46
zx2c4would you mind if i ask dkg to help me with this?21:46
zx2c4He's a debian guy and will probably screw up less of the fine details than me21:46
zx2c4(I'm just a measly kernel programmer)21:46
infinitySure.21:46
zx2c4cool okay21:47
zx2c4And then after it's posted, you can easily click some buttons to import it?21:47
zx2c4Should the version number be the same but a "-2" instead?21:47
cjwatsonappend ubuntu16.04.121:47
zx2c4cjwatson: okay21:48
zx2c4ill get to work on this immediately21:48
zx2c4infinity: cjwatson thanks so much for your help. really appreciated21:48
cjwatsonhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates is the process for stable updates21:48
zx2c4i should have come in here and asked straight-up from the beginning21:48
cjwatson(though that tries to cover all bases and "replace with empty package" is probably a bit simpler)21:49
cjwatsonYeah, it would have been much easier if this had been noticed pre-release.21:49
infinityIndeed, asking 11 days ago would have saved some hassle.21:49
infinityOh well.21:49
zx2c4infinity: i didnt realize until a few days ago21:49
zx2c4when i saw, "oh cool zesty is out I should see how wireguard runs on it"21:49
zx2c4and then i imported the ppa but forgot to apt update after21:50
zx2c4but then wireguard actually apt install'd okay21:50
zx2c4and then i figured out what had happened21:50
jbichapkil gnome-software21:50
infinityNo command 'pkil' found, did you mean:21:51
infinity Command 'pil' from package 'picolisp' (universe)21:51
infinity Command 'pki' from package 'strongswan-pki' (universe)21:51
infinity Command 'pki' from package 'pki-tools' (universe)21:51
infinity Command 'pkill' from package 'procps' (main)21:51
infinitypkil: command not found21:51
infinityjbicha: HTH.21:51
cjwatsonJust thinking about avoiding this type of problem at the infrastructure level in future21:54
cjwatsonHow about we only auto-sync *new* packages by default once they (not necessarily the same version) have hit testing ever?21:56
cjwatsonOr something like that21:56
cjwatsonIf somebody wants to manually sync before that, that's fine, that implies that at least somebody thought about it21:56
jbichainfinity: sorry, GNOME on Wayland has interesting behavior sometimes (like when your computer runs out of ram or something)21:57
infinityjbicha: That's encouraging...21:57
cjwatsonWe'd be a bit slower at picking up brand-new packages, but I think the rationale for syncing from unstable rather than testing mostly doesn't apply to those21:57
infinitycjwatson: That would have worked in this case, as it never migrated, it wouldn't have worked for most of the previous cases (bitcoin stuff, famously) where they were removed from testing.21:58
cjwatsonYeah, it's not a panacea, just thinking that it might make sense.21:58
infinityMight do.21:58
jbichaI typed that pkill command (probably with 2 Ls) in a different terminal and it ate the L and spat the command out here instead21:58
cjwatson(We should probably separately track explicit manual removals from testing, since we often want to at least think about those)21:59
infinityWe *should*, but not sure who'd sign up to give that list love.21:59
infinityAnd is there an easy way to distinguish manual removals from the hundreds of auto-removals we don't care about?22:00
cjwatsonNot sure offhand.22:00
infinityAnyhow, I should see about untetheting myself from my desk and enjoying what's left of my weekend.22:01
zx2c4infinity: im looking at this bitcoin stuff now actually to see how it works22:27
zx2c4is there another reference i should study as well?22:27
Ukikieowncloud.22:29
zx2c4Ukikie: thanks22:30
zx2c4cjwatson: you wrote " append ubuntu16.04.1"22:33
zx2c4you meant i should appen 17.04, right?22:33
infinityYes.22:37
zx2c4infinity: so previous changelog line was22:38
zx2c4wireguard (0.0.20170214-1) unstable; urgency=medium22:38
zx2c4new one will be:22:38
zx2c4wireguard (0.0.20170214-2ubuntu17.04) unstable; urgency=medium22:38
zx2c4seem correct?22:38
infinitys/-2/-1/22:38
zx2c4interesting okay22:38
infinityAnd s/unstable/zesty/22:38
zx2c4okay22:38
zx2c4wireguard (0.0.20170214-1ubuntu17.04) zesty; urgency=medium22:38
infinityThat'll do.  Though the security team's version recommendations would make that 0.0.20170214-1ubuntu0.17.0422:39
infinity(Because an upload of an ubuntu delta to artful would be 0.0.20170214-1ubuntu1, and should sort higher)22:39
zx2c4okay i'll do that22:40
zx2c4LANG=C date -R seems to work nicely22:41
infinitydch generates the signature bits for you.22:42
infinityBut I suppose you're not doing this on Debian/Ubuntu.22:42
zx2c4I am22:42
zx2c4i just booted up a zesty VM22:42
cjwatsonzx2c4: er, yes, thinko.22:42
zx2c4but am still using vim for it O_o22:42
zx2c4and then i guess I can remove Build-Depends:22:43
infinityProbably all but debhelper.22:43
zx2c4interesting22:43
zx2c4infinity:23:00
zx2c4okay all set23:00
zx2c4ill upload this to the bug report?23:00
