[17:03] <mikael-arguedas> I'm looking for the steps to take to get a package (libpcl-dev) rebuilt for zesty and artful (bug report here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcl/+bug/1704459). Could anyone give me a pointer of what to is the best way forward?
[18:04] <mikael-arguedas> (first time on IRC not sure if this was posted, sorry if it was): Howdy Ubuntu Bug Squad! I'm looking for the steps to take to get a package (libpcl-dev) rebuilt for zesty and artful (bug report here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcl/+bug/1704459). Could anyone give me a pointer of what to is the best way forward?
[18:06] <teward> mikael-arguedas: you sent that already an hour ago.
[18:06] <teward> patience is sometimes a virtue.
[18:06] <teward> mikael-arguedas: by 'rebuilt' do you mean to just have a rebuild triggered, or do you mean rebuilt with a newer version?
[18:07] <mikael-arguedas> teward: sorry I wasnt sure it was properly sent, didnt mean to seem impatient
[18:07] <mikael-arguedas> yes by rebuilt I mean have a rebuild triggered
[18:08] <teward> mikael-arguedas: i forwarded this to archive admins, and asked them to ping back here, however I don't think 'zesty' packages'll be easily rebuilt at the moment, but don't quote me on that
[18:08] <teward> artful, they can probably trigger a rebuild, but there's already 6.3.0+dfsg1-10build1 for libvtk6-dev in the repository, and unless you've tested recently for the issue in Artful, I'm not sure they'll do anything here
[18:09] <teward> (basically, go confirm with the latest artful daily the issue still exists)
[18:10] <mikael-arguedas> thanks! If I try in the latest artful docker image I should have the latest daily right ?
[18:11] <teward> mikael-arguedas: i didn't say 'docker'
[18:12] <teward> if you're doing it in docker, you should slap yourself, LXD would work better for the artful tests.  If you don't have the latest artful container just run `sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y'
[18:12] <nacc> teward: who was asking?
[18:12] <teward> nacc: mikael-arguedas
[18:12] <teward> mikael-arguedas: nacc was looking at this
[18:12] <teward> and didn't see your messages about testing artfuo
[18:12] <teward> because I suggested it
[18:13] <teward> nacc: feel free to take over
[18:13] <teward> i need to complete timesheets *groans*
[18:13] <nacc> mikael-arguedas: there appears to be a new src:pcl in artful-proposed
[18:13] <nacc> teward: gl! :)
[18:14] <nacc> hrm, failed to build on amd64 and arm64
[18:15] <mikael-arguedas> nacc: thanks for the pointer, and for monitoring it
[18:15] <nacc> sigh "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory"
[18:15] <nacc> i'll retry it
[18:15] <teward> mikael-arguedas: he's less monitoring it and only responding since I poked #ubuntu-release for someone to look at it ;)
[18:15] <teward> nacc: sounds like EVIL in the builders
[18:15] <teward> iirc i saw that twice with HUGE library builds
[18:15] <nacc> yeah
[18:15] <mikael-arguedas> nacc: ... pcl is always taking way too much memory ...
[18:16] <nacc> mikael-arguedas: :/ ok, good to know
[18:16] <mikael-arguedas> teward: thank you!
[18:19] <mikael-arguedas> nacc: Do you know if a rebuild for zesty (without source change) can be considered?
[18:20] <nacc> mikael-arguedas: it needs to be SRU'd to do that, even if no-change: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates -- because building in what is zesty now is not the same as building in what was zesty when zesty released (or when the pakcage was last built)
[18:20] <nacc> mikael-arguedas: so yes, possible, but the above process needs to be followed (needs to be fixed in artful first, first of all)
[18:21] <mikael-arguedas> nacc: sounds good, thanks for the info
[18:22] <nacc> mikael-arguedas: yw, to help along, you can help fill out the template for the SRU from the wiki page in the bug
[18:23] <mikael-arguedas> nacc: got it , will do!
[18:25] <mikael-arguedas> nacc: if the bug is fixed in artful with the new source, does that mean the the SRU should ask for the new version rather than a rebuild of the current zesty version ?
[18:26] <nacc> mikael-arguedas: if the version in zesty will 'just work' after a rebuild, then no
[18:26] <nacc> mikael-arguedas: but if more stuff is needed, then provide those details
[18:26] <nacc> mikael-arguedas: a version bump won't happen by default (it's either a backport of a bugfix or a change to the build (or rebuild, in this case))
[18:28] <mikael-arguedas> nacc: that was my understanding as well, yeah it should "just work" with a rebuilt. thx
[18:29] <nacc> mikael-arguedas: yw
