GunnarHjseb128: Hello Sebastien! I'd appreciate your advice on the idea in comment #21 of bug #1704533. For context please see comment #20 and the latest upload:11:23
ubot5bug 1704533 in libgweather (Ubuntu Artful) "French language locale missing : Gnome-Weather" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/170453311:23
GunnarHjhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgweather/3.26.0-1ubuntu111:23
seb128GunnarHj, hey, k, I have a look12:15
seb128GunnarHj, libgweather is the correct domain, see debian/patches/langpack-hack.patch12:26
seb128-GETTEXT_PACKAGE=libgweather-3.012:26
seb128+GETTEXT_PACKAGE=libgweather12:26
seb128 AC_SUBST(GETTEXT_PACKAGE)12:26
seb128GunnarHj, that's also how the .mo files are named in the buildlog12:26
seb128GunnarHj, ah, that's what you uploaded to fix that bug ... does it work?12:27
seb128GunnarHj, otherwise I think you are right, the template needs to be changed in launchpad12:28
andyrockhey all12:28
andyrockLaney: you are in backport team right?12:28
seb128hey andyrock, how are you? had a good 3 days w.e?12:28
andyrockyeah long w.e. indeed12:29
andyrockand now it's snowing12:29
GunnarHjseb128: It works, but I consider it to be a workaround. So my idea is that we upload that fix to artful, but reverse it in bionic and change the template in LP for bionic.12:29
seb128GunnarHj, that sounds good to me12:29
seb128andyrock, you are in Italy atm?12:29
andyrockyep12:30
GunnarHjseb128: Great, thanks!12:30
seb128impressive that it's snowing from the u.k to Italy :)12:30
seb128GunnarHj, thank you for working on it!12:30
seb128andyrock, speaking about those backports, sorry for raising that earlier but that might not be the right way to go12:31
andyrockseb128: why?12:31
seb128andyrock, do you think so changes are SRU material or is that too complex for that?12:31
seb128andyrock, we can't use the backport pocket to build the iso/installer, it's an opt-in not a standardly used source12:32
andyrocksome packages are not even in the repos12:32
seb128so if the goal is to include the work to the installer it needs to be a SRU12:32
seb128right, SRUing new packages is fine12:32
andyrockso it's just about editing the bug?12:33
andyrocklet's wait for Laney to answer12:39
Laneyhi12:39
Laneyanswer about what?12:39
seb128andyrock, I guess, also I need to have a look at the change to see if they are fine for a SRU12:40
mdeslaurseb128: hi! I had to patch all three packages in the bug to fix the issue in my artful vm.12:40
seb128mdeslaur, hey, that's weird, one of those must be first to start? or is the order depending of timing and changing at every login?12:41
mdeslaurone of them was responsible for .config, the other .local. Perhaps the third one isn't required, but I can't remember which one was.12:43
mdeslaurit probably should be fixed everywhere though, in case the order does in fact change12:43
seb128right12:44
seb128I wonder if ordering changed with the gsd plugins split12:44
seb128or something12:44
seb128mdeslaur, there are other issues there, session-migration should be a noop on a new install12:46
mdeslaurit is, but it still creates the directory12:46
seb128then it's not a noop :p12:46
mdeslaurI think it adds a flag file12:47
seb128right12:47
seb128it could probably just bail out assuming there is nothing to do if the dir doesn't exist12:47
seb128mdeslaur, do you plan to upstream patches for those then?12:48
seb128or do you need help from us doing that?12:48
mdeslaurI would like the desktop team to look into it. I'm afraid the directory creation code is used in some scenario that I'm not thinking of.12:49
seb128mdeslaur, ok, I'm adding it to our list for the week then, thanks for investigating the issue and providing those details!12:51
mdeslaurnp, thanks!12:51
andyrockLaney: so we need to backport python3-macaroonbakery from B to X12:52
andyrockthis requires some other packages to be updated/backported12:52
andyrockseb128 just told me that using the backport repositories will not work12:53
LaneyThat's right12:53
andyrockso the way to go is to SRU12:53
LaneyIf you need it for the installer then it has to be SRUed12:53
andyrockso I've several questions12:53
andyrock1. do you need a SRU bug for each packages?12:54
andyrock2. if a package needs to be SRUed without changes from B what sould I do?12:54
seb1281. no, one is fine12:56
seb1282. why are the changes not in B?12:56
LaneyI think he means a no-change backport as SRU12:56
seb128well just change the version12:59
andyrockI'm still confused13:04
andyrockso httmock does not exists in X13:05
andyrockwhat should I propose?13:05
andyrockand It can SRUed as it is, with no changes13:05
Laneyif it doesn't exist then it should be easily SRUed as that can't break anything else13:05
andyrockLaney: cool13:06
seb128andyrock, yes, take the current source, edit the changelog to have a version lower/adapted for the SRU and change the distro target13:06
andyrockseb128: that's what I did in the ppa13:06
seb128k, so you are all good :)13:07
Laneydoesn't require changes to any existing packages?13:07
seb128you just need to backport->SRU13:07
andyrockLaney: some changes13:07
andyrockI had this https://bugs.launchpad.net/xenial-backports/+bug/173516013:07
ubot5Launchpad bug 1735160 in Xenial Backports "Please backport python3-macaroonbakery 0.0.6-1 [universe] from bionic" [Undecided,New]13:07
andyrockthe only big change is to build python3-protobuf13:08
andyrockthis can be SRUed with a small debdiff13:08
seb128yeah, those seems like they should be doable a SRU13:08
seb128though I didn't review the pymacaroons 0.9.2->0.12 changes13:08
seb128nor the patch for adding python3-protobuf13:08
seb128but if that's just adding a new build it's not likely to create issue for existing code so it should be fine13:09
andyrockindeed13:09
seb128unless you patch code that is using for the python2 version13:09
andyrocknope13:09
andyrockthe only python2 code that I changed was in google-apputils-python13:09
andyrockhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/google-apputils-python/+bug/173516213:09
seb128https://launchpadlibrarian.net/347516790/protobuf.debdiff looks fine13:09
ubot5Launchpad bug 1735162 in google-apputils-python (Ubuntu) "Cannot import basetest in python3" [Medium,In progress]13:09
andyrockI have already an SRU bug for this13:10
seb128andyrock, yeah, that all looks fine to SRU to me13:10
seb128so just change the title/description to be "SRU" instead of "backport"13:10
andyrockkk13:10
andyrockthanks for the help13:10
Laney - backport pymacaroons 0.12.0-1 [universe] from bionic - xenial has 0.9.2-0ubuntu113:13
Laney- backport python-nacl 1.1.2-1 [universe] from bionic - xenial has 1.0.1-1build113:13
Laneythose ones might be more difficult13:13
andyrockwhy?13:14
Laneypotential to break things which depend on them13:15
andyrockapt-cache rdepends python-nacl gives no result13:16
andyrockmaybe I'm using that command in the wrong way13:16
Laneyok I didn't look at that, let me see13:16
andyrocksnapcraft depnds on python3-pymacaroons13:18
seb128andyrock, even if there are no depends in the archive some customers might use the binding for their apps so we still need to ensure it doesn't have incompatible changes13:20
Laneyjbicha: yo, got a gnome-control-center commit around to push?13:21
seb128GunnarHj, did you check that gnome-weather has translated description once the domain is the one expected? when I looked at it during the summer there was another issue and the translations were also not working on the fedora livecd where they don't use langpack, but it might be that the other bug has been fixed13:29
GunnarHjseb128: Do you mean the package description? Haven't looked at that.13:31
seb128GunnarHj, no, the weather descriptions (what the bug is about)13:31
seb128like in the UI the bit that say "windy" for example13:31
GunnarHjseb128: Right, that's precisely what this is about. Of course we checked it. Works right now in bionic due to the workaround.13:32
seb128ok13:32
seb128well as said in zesty it was not working even with the correct domain iirc (nor on fedora at the time)13:33
seb128so I think it's somewhat wrong to state on the upstream bug that the issue was due to an invalid domain on our side, I think there was a real bug upstream that got fixed + the domain then on our side13:34
seb128anyway no big deal13:34
seb128thanks for checking!13:34
GunnarHjseb128: Sorry if I jumped at conclusions.13:34
seb128no worry13:34
jbichaLaney: g-c-c commit pushed, thanks13:51
GunnarHjjbicha: Hi Jeremy! We've made some progress with bug #1704533. Can you please upload to artful? (I added the SRU stuff to the bug description.)14:09

GunnarHjseb128: Yes.14:12

GunnarHjjbicha: Yes.14:13

popeyoSoMoN: heya, i noticed Chromium is "chromium" in the store. Can you fix the case? It looks wrong :)15:17
oSoMoNpopey, done15:23
popeyYay! Thanks!15:23
oSoMoNchrisccoulson, chromium-browser stable update (63.0.3239.84) is ready at https://launchpad.net/~canonical-chromium-builds/+archive/ubuntu/stage/+packages (I've already uploaded to bionic-proposed)15:37
chrisccoulsonoSoMoN, heh, good timing. It's my last day today15:38
oSoMoNjust in time :)15:42
oSoMoNchrisccoulson, last day until you’re back from holidays, right?15:44
chrisccoulsonoSoMoN, yeah15:44
oSoMoNthat "last day today" almost sounded scary!15:45
chrisccoulsonheh15:49
dobeyoSoMoN, chrisccoulson: speaking of that, is anyone going to update oxide in 16.04? it's installed by default there, for the webapp stuff (webapp-container/webbrowser-app is used there)15:55
chrisccoulsondobey, there will be an update to basically remove it15:56
dobeychrisccoulson: and make webapps use firefox instead? or remove those too?15:57
jbichadobey: what webapps?16:09
gQuigsoh.. in 16.04.. hmm16:12
gQuigsso like https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/unity-webapps-googledocs ?16:14
dobeyjbicha: cf unity-webapps-common16:14
dobeyjbicha: amazon and some others16:14
seb128shrug, seems like I closed that channel by error earlier17:00
Laney/o\17:05
GunnarHjseb128: Are you in the mood for considering a xenial translation update? ;)17:06
jbichaGunnarHj: btw, do you know if the libgweather issue affects xenial too?17:10
GunnarHjjbicha: No, haven't checked.17:11
GunnarHjjbicha: But I can take a look...17:14
jbichaGunnarHj: ok, I confirmed xenial is affected too17:14
GunnarHjjbicha: Are you arguing for a xenial SRU too?17:15
jbichaI'm wondering if it's safe to make the LP change for xenial and then do a langpack update there17:15
jbichaor if we should do the simpler artful workaround17:16
GunnarHjjbicha: LP change ought to work AFAICT. If it doesn't, it wouldn't make things worse at least.17:17
jbichaok17:18
jbichaof course artful is different because no one is volunteering to do a langpack update there ;)17:19
GunnarHjjbicha: Right. The question is if someone (seb128) is volunteering to do it for xenial. And to take effect for all languages, we'd need to accept into xenial-update also langpacks which haven't been tested by the translator teams.17:23
GunnarHjjbicha: The simpler workaround is probably preferable. ;)17:28
jbichawhy were you asking about xenial then?17:32
GunnarHjjbicha: Because the general need to update. An update was planned to be accomplished in the beginning of 2017, but it was never done.17:48
GunnarHjjbicha: So my question to seb128 was not related to the libgweather issue.17:50
jbichaif you do a xenial sru for libgweather, you also would need to do a zesty sru for it17:56
jbichaor wait until late January17:56
GunnarHjjbicha: Why would that be necessary? Are you thinking of people who might upgrade from xenial to zesty? How many will do that between now and zesty EOL? Isn't that something we can live with?18:11
jbichabecause that's the SRU rules (to avoid known regressions when people upgrade), you can talk to the SRU team about it18:12
jbichaeventually, it won't be worth doing zesty SRUs any more, but I think that will be January, not now18:13
GunnarHjjbicha: Ok, thanks. Wasn't aware of the presence of a strict rule.18:13
GunnarHjjbicha: Given how much time I already spent on this libgweather thing, I'm inclined to SRU to both xenial and zesty then. Would it be helpful to create debdiffs for the purpose?18:18
jbichaGunnarHj: the rule isn't actually mentioned in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates but it's my understanding of the SRU Team's policy18:19
GunnarHjjbicha: We could test it. :)18:20
jbichayou can do that if you like, but my guess is it will just mean the xenial sru won't reach xenial-updates until after zesty goes EOL18:20
jbichayes, debdiffs would help18:21
GunnarHjjbicha: Then I'll make debdiffs for both. See you later. Thanks!18:21
willcookenight all18:22
GunnarHjjbicha: Fixed debdiffs for xenial and zesty. Would be good if you could upload.20:04
