jbichacortina and meta-gnome3 are the only 2 I see that will need new uploads now then for that00:01
jbichaso I'll do that now00:01
infinityWell, ostree clearly does, or it wouldn't have s390x binaries.00:01
infinityNot sure I want to hunt through the rest of the bug to see if others are in such a state.00:01
jbichayes but as long as we can get the newer ostree to migrate that will be fixed00:01
infinityjbicha: Eh?00:02
slangasekinfinity: when people are retrying builds for things that ftbfs on random archs that have never built, and I get email for those, I absolutely reserve the right to not like the emails and not commit to fixing the builds00:02
infinityjbicha: The new ostree has s390x binaries.00:02
infinityslangasek: Okay, it's fair that we could do with some regression history, so we could maybe tag FTBFS mails in a filterable way.00:02
jbichainfinity: no, it's in depwait (and my diff is unnecessary) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ostree/2017.11-1ubuntu100:02
infinityjbicha: Oh, there's a VERY new one. :)00:03
infinityjbicha: I was looking at rmadison, silly me.00:03
jbichaok00:03
infinityjbicha: Alright, removing away.00:03
infinityjbicha: Thanks for weathering my rant with rational responses. :P00:03
jbichainfinity: since you're opinionated, do you prefer I have cortina build-depend on gjs (so depwait) or specify a list of architecture to build for?00:05
slangasekinfinity: to your rant though, I want to double-check I'm not doing something wrong - my usual response to "please remove these binaries" is "please give me a new version in -proposed that isn't just going to bring those binaries back."  so I'm in the clear, right?00:05
infinityslangasek: Right.  Binary removal should only happen if the binary is NBS.00:06
jbichacortina/s390x has an unsatisfiable depends on gnome-shell, which confuses britney I believe00:07
slangasekok00:07
infinityslangasek: I mean, there should also be due diligence to make sure that version in proposed will actually migrate, but basically the right track there.00:07
infinityjbicha: That doesn't confuse britney, britney's correct.00:07
infinityjbicha: ostree cleaned up.00:08
infinity(And so noted in the bug)00:08
infinityjbicha: As for the question, I prefer the unnecessary build-dep method (though, really, it should build-dep on gnome-shell, since that's what it depends on) because, while it's a bit heavy-handed and gross, it has the advantage of "fixing itself" if the stack suddenly becomes buildable again.00:10
infinityjbicha: And also doesn't need adjusting for new arches.00:10
jbichaok00:11
dokoslangasek, infinity: I gave back all packages last week, because it wasn't done since April00:11
infinityThe amount of the archive that isn't built on Random Arch X purely because the maintainer chose an Architecture line 13 years ago that no one has since reviewed for accuracy is larger than you'd think.00:11
jbichathere's a chance someone in Debian will figure out gettings mozjs52 to work on other arches…00:11
infinitydoko: Thanks.00:11
dokoand yes, it built a handful more packages sucessfully00:12
infinityjbicha: Well, afaik, newer mozjs is entirely dependent on rustc being non-crap, which arch maintainers are working on, so it might just kinda fix itself over the next 6-12 months on a few arches.00:12
dokowell, working on rust is wishful thinking00:13
infinitydoko: I don't mean downstream arch maintainers, I mean IBM has people working on it.00:13
infinityI certainly am dedicating exactly as much time to rustc as I did to golang.00:14
jbichaI think mozjs52 is pre-rust but yeah, the future will be fun00:14
infinityjbicha: Ahh, if it's pre-rust, it may just be a legit silly endian bug or something and, indeed, Debian might fix it.00:15
infinityjbicha: The future actually looks pretty good for mozilla after the switch to rust, IMO.  And that's coming from someone who's sick of "oh look, a new compiler that needs porting."00:16
jbichahttps://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=mozjs52 ( you can probably ignore mips64el but the other test failures are really bad)00:16
infinityjbicha: Cause at least this compiler WILL be ported (over time).00:16
infinityjbicha: The most complex part of firefox that ALWAYS broke on non-primary arches was mozjs, so switching to a highly-portable thing that needs less babysitting by port maintainer might make firefox Just Work a lot more often than it used to.00:17
infinity(Again, in a wonderful future of a year or three when rust's ports are all solid)00:18
jbichait's nice that GNOME is now on the latest mozjs (ESR) instead of mozjs24 like we were a year ago too00:19
infinityOf course, if you take my above analysis to extremes, I may have just accidentally advocated writing a javascript interpreter in Perl.00:21
infinityWhich I don't recommend.00:21
infinity(Though it wouldn't be any worse than jbailey's pet project to write a libc in js)00:22
jbichaif you're in a removing mood, want to remove some or all of the packages at LP: #1710318? we might leave a few webkitgtk rdeps in artful but it doesn't need to be so many00:23

jbichainfinity: what time zone are you in? lol00:25

karstensragehope all is well infinity and thank you for your patience with me00:25
karstensragewill do00:25
infinityjbicha: I'm in both all of them and none of them.  And even moreso the last week or two with the above mentioned hospital issue. :/00:25
jbichabest wishes00:26
infinityThere are many crossed fingers.00:26
infinityMom's scheduled for all the open heart surgery ever next week.00:26
infinityWhich is a bit scary.00:26
infinityA lot scary.00:27
gaugheninfinity, slangasek - would you, or someone else with a release team hat, have a look at - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/170624800:47
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1706248 in slof (Ubuntu) "[FFE] SLOF dhcp request doesn't include client architecture code 93" [Medium,Confirmed]00:47
infinitygaughen: I'm conceptually okay with a new SLOF from an HWE perspective, but I think I'd like to give it a once-over/test-drive, and chat with Aurelien about doing it in Debian too.00:55
infinitygaughen: So putting that open browser tab on my "will look a bit later".00:55
gaughenfair enough00:55
infinityAlso super curious about this "new boot menu" thing, since firmware presenting boot menus is usually a bad thing, in my experience, not a good one. :P00:56
gaughencpaelzer, ^^ fyi re: ffe on slof00:56
gaugheninfinity, from the perspective of users select options they shouldn't?00:57
infinitygaughen: I want to see what they mean by "boot menu".  If it's "hit a key combination to enter forth prompt", fair enough, if it's some nasty attempt to present what grub should be presenting, ick.00:59
gaughenyeah that is ick00:59
infinitygaughen: Anyhow, the motivation for the bug report (the dhcp thing) feels like something we'd want to cherry pick back to (at least) xenial, so worth someone looking at that while I also evaluable the wholesale version bump.00:59
infinityevaluate, too.00:59
infinityevaluable?  Really, fingers?  THAT'S NOT EVEN A WORD.01:00
slangasekUEFI has a boot menu, it must be a good idea01:01
infinityslangasek: Yeah, and it's STELLAR.01:01
infinityExcept the other thing.01:01
infinityAlso, see petitboot as exhibit suck.01:02
slangasekyes, I was just seeing petitboot this afternoon01:02
infinityMy condolences.01:02
slangasekfor half a second, before its 10 second boot timeout triggered after I had waited a half hour for it to load01:02
cjwatsonEvaluable is totally a word.  Just not the word you wanted.01:32
infinityErr, yes it is.  But not in the way I was thinking.01:33

LocutusOfBorghello chrisccoulson, doesn't rust need a sync from debian? because of firefox?10:54
LocutusOfBorg(actually a merge probably)10:56
chrisccoulsonunless you're also going to do cargo, please do not sync or merge rust11:01
ricotzLocutusOfBorg, chrisccoulson, notice/remember libgit211:40
ricotzchrisccoulson, please see PM11:40
LocutusOfBorgchrisccoulson, I was asking about what firefox requires, I don't plan to do it :)12:00
LocutusOfBorgricotz, what is the libgit2 problem?12:01
LocutusOfBorgis somebody requesting a ffe?12:01
ricotzLocutusOfBorg, debian is not shipping it internally and relies on it as system-dep which won't work on ubuntu12:02
ricotzsince backport down to trusty are required12:02
ricotzLocutusOfBorg, so don't plainly take it from debian12:02
ricotzbasically the toolchain for firefox 56 is already done12:03
ricotzthe version of rustc/cargo which are in debian currently will be required beginning with firefox 5712:03
LocutusOfBorgok, anyway, I don't plan to do cargo/libgit2/rust work12:12
LocutusOfBorgI was just asking in case you want to prepare for FF5712:13
LocutusOfBorglibgit2 will be autosyncd btw when 18.04 opens12:16
ricotzLocutusOfBorg, I think rustc/cargo should not be synced, e.g. even likely that ff56 won't build with rustc 1.2012:19

naccjbicha: infinity: ok, setup a mate VM of 16.04.3. In the 'boutique', if i search for virtualbox, both virt-manager and oracle's virtualbox show up (confusingly not the one from multiverse). No repository is setup for virtualbox initially (that I can see in boutique). If I click on install oracle virtualbox, it queues it and then if i click on apply changes, the third party virtualbox repo has been15:54
naccadded and a non-ubuntu package has been installed. Now, it does say the source is oracle's repo (by URL), but I'm not sure a regular user would konw it's unsupported software (by Ubuntu)15:55
naccinfinity: not sure if that still constitutes a policy violation or not; it's opt-in, but not at all obvious to an end-user what they are opting in to, imo15:57
rbasakddstreet: sorry, I didn't realise you had a new patch for me there. I don't think forcing use of gcc-6 is a suitable fix for the development release though. I suspect doko wouldn't be happy about that.16:14

karstensrageinfinity, very sorry to bother you, no worries if you have more pressing issues, any preliminary comments? Id like to get started on the new NSS packaging23:52
