apwrbasak, i would feel the same, that backporting the content ony would be my expectation, as delivery is local to the series08:19
apwrbasak, pretty much i agree with your comment en-toto08:19

rbasak(ie. quote you)08:20
rbasakAnd xnox: ^ - do you want to keep driving this? We can either figure out an exception for intel-microcode with a commitment from a team for regular updates, or push a one-off blob update through, or both of those.08:21

=== Guest52111 is now known as ahasenack
slangasekLaney: in regards to your response on the bug, I am personally unconvinced this is the right level of stick to use for getting people to fix their autopkgtests.  How often do you enforce in a situation like this, vs. doing a bunch of analysis and then giving it a pass anyway?15:59
Laneyslangasek: Sometimes, and more often I fix things myself.16:09
LaneyWhere is the stick at all?16:09
LaneyI think we're too far on the ignoring side ATM.16:10
* apw feels that too16:10
rbalintapw: sil2100 told me you may had comments regarding the gce-compute-image-packages update #170002716:17
rbalintapw: but i was not around :-(. is there anything i should fix in the upload?16:18
slangasekLaney: ok; but is it a better use of time to use the gate like this, vs. acknowledging that the gate failed (because the regression made it into devel) and then spending some time working through the backlog of failing autopkgtests more generally?16:19
ginggsslangasek, Laney: seeing you are discussing autopkgtests, would you please consider 'force-badtest r-cran-surveillance/1.13.0-1' ? The tests were broken in the release pocket by the upload of gdata/2.18.0-1 - I don't think holding back r-base because of this gains us anything16:20
slangasekrbalint: apw had concerns about the lintian warnings; but I think it was just this one, in which case it's ignorable because it's an NSS module? W: google-compute-engine-oslogin: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libnss-oslogin216:20
apwslangasek, yes htat was the one16:20
slangasekginggs: yes, that's a great example, I saw your request last night and re-triggered against the release pocket, to confirm it was really a regression there before overriding, and now it takes a release team member's time again to act on that rather than it being automatic ;)16:21
slangasekLaney: ^^ for your consideration16:21
slangasek(and I'm adding the hint)16:21
slangasekapw: I'm +1 on ignoring that warning because it's an nss module and sonames are superfluous there anyway; I haven't reviewed the rest of it so I'll defer to you if you want to accept16:22
ginggsslangasek: thanks!16:24
ginggsslangasek: just to be clear, does running the r-cran-surveillance tests with trigger r-cran-surveillance/1.13.0-1 run only against the release pocket?16:28
slangasekginggs: yes16:29
slangasekginggs: this trick fails if there is a newer version of the package itself in -proposed, but that's not the case here16:29
ginggsslangasek: ah, ok16:30

xnoxslangasek, i have noticed that. It seems that 4.04 is more strict than before, and e.g. these used to end up as warnings before, but are errors now. I have fixed some already by looking at the right/matching signature types in the headers.17:00

Laneyslangasek: Well, if 34 packages start failing at once that probably sounds like something to investigate and fix. But if you did, and you think that all those tests are bad, then it's correct.20:53
slangasekLaney: it's perl, so 34 out of a couple hundred; and they regressed in the release pocket, so they're bad for reasons unrelated to either perl or the module package itself having regressed; and I have no idea about the perl auto-autopkgtesting stuff20:54
slangasekdo you think perl should block (and hold up other stuff in -proposed) because of a small percentage of tests that are broken because of a regression in the perl test infrastructure?20:55
slangasekmy argument is: once we've identified that the failed autopkgtest is not a regression in -proposed, what is the value of blocking packages which are not to blame in -proposed until this is fixed?20:57
Laneyok, what's the path to getting these tests passing again?20:58
LaneyI think the fact that our infrastructure isn't fine grained enough to catch all regressions when they happen is unfortunate, and when we do get pointed to something that's gone wrong then somehow it should be looked at.21:01
LaneyIf we'd have managed to catch the regressions at the right time there would be no question that there was a bug to be fixed21:01
LaneyUnfortunately we didn't, but we're still being told about a problem heere21:01
Laneygot to go, sorry21:02
slangasekLaney: so, someone can investigate the perl automated test harness to understand why it broke, and whose fault it is that it's now broken, and fix either the harness or the tests.  But given that it has already regressed in devel, is there any reason that these should be a higher priority to fix, or more of a blocker, than any of the other failing autopkgtests in devel?21:02
slangasekI certainly think that once the cause is identified, we should figure out a way to trigger tests for the test harness updates so we don't do the same in the future21:03
slangasekLaney: what this comes down to, for me, is the sense that everything beyond the actual triggering of tests to get a baseline view - the log analysis and the setting the hints - was busywork; and while I could have opted to dig into the test failures instead to resolve them, which would have not been busy work, it also would have not been /priority/ work and would not have been a sensible path21:09
slangasektowards my goal at the time, which was unblocking perl for migration21:09
xnoxslangasek, Laney, i think a lot of autopkgtest work that ubuntu does is futile, until debian starts to gate on autopkgtests failures too.21:25
* xnox did not follow all of the discussion21:25
slangasekLaney: so I would like to explicitly decouple, as a policy, the work of getting transitions unstuck from -proposed from the work of improving the quality of tests in devel.  Unpicking transitions is already a lot of yak shaving, and I think having to debug tests in devel is a yak too far :)21:26
dokoxnox: should we propose an autopkg BoF for DebConf?21:27
xnoxslangasek, i guess we should be staging transitions in a silo?21:27
dokoplease no ...21:27
xnoxdoko, probably.21:28
slangasekxnox, doko: the piece that's missing is a committment from the Debian release team to gate.  I think an email follow-up to debian-release is needed21:31
slangasekas for staging in a silo, <shrug> not all transitions are going to happen that way21:31
slangasekand it will trigger all the autopkgtests twice21:32
slangasekand it doesn't fix anything about the problem I'm currently complaining about21:32
xnoxsure. but things would be easier if adt tests do pass for things synced from debian.21:33
xnoxand do not regress21:33
slangasekxnox: here's an irrelevancy to distract you: should we change the autopkgtest interface from returning a boolean to returning a bitfield, so that packages can be fine grained about declaring success/failure, and we can ratchet individual tests separately?21:39
xnoxslangasek, at clearlinux.org QA team wrote a log analyzer to extract the results of many variety of test suite and report them in https://testanything.org/tap-specification.html and then they would monitor regressions of individual tests.21:44
xnoxthus the granularity tracking of regressions was down to asserts.21:44
slangasekif there was a log analyzer that ensured I would never again have to traverse log files by hand guessing which of 'FAIL' / 'fail' / 'not ok' / 'bad' / 'ERROR' I needed to key on for a particular package, I would enjoy that21:46
xnoxit did support java, perl, python, php, R, the GNU thing, gcc etc.21:48
bdmurrayThe linux autopkgtests are flaky and shouldn't be considered when looking at releasing an SRU correct?21:49
xnoxslangasek, does cooked rhubarb count as fruit?21:52
slangasekbdmurray: generally so, yes.  I usually spot check the failures to be sure that it's not a real regression /this/ time, and get a little bit more annoyed in the process ;)21:53
slangasekxnox: sure, why not21:53
