[10:18] <tiagoscd__> Hey guys! Do you have any ideas on why my PPA build is stuck for more than 24 hours? https://launchpad.net/~tiagohillebrandt/+archive/ubuntu/wp-cli/+build/14223770
[10:19] <tiagoscd__> I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if it is normal to take this long to build a package
[10:19] <cjwatson> tiagoscd__: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/launchpad-announce/2018-January/000103.html (and followup to correct the date)
[10:22] <tiagoscd__> Oh gotcha, thanks @cjwatson :-) Hopefully it will get back soon (fingers crossed)
[13:58] <ricotz> cjwatson, hi, could you please bump the firefox-trunk builds, I have the impression that those 5000 downloads got your attention?
[14:00] <cjwatson> ricotz: I'm about to go out, and we should be able to reactivate the x86 farm today at some level so it shouldn't be necessary to do too much manually
[14:03] <ricotz> cjwatson, I see, while firefox-trunk is not in the archive it got a quite low priority
[14:51] <cjwatson> ricotz: I've at least moved them up the queue a bit.
[14:52] <ricotz> cjwatson, thank you
[17:31] <kyrofa> I haven't seen anything on launchpad status, so I assume the build farm is still down? Weren't the mitigations released yesterday?
[18:02] <mgedmin> kyrofa: "<cjwatson> ricotz: I'm about to go out, and we should be able to reactivate the x86 farm today at some level" is from earlier today
[18:03] <kyrofa> mgedmin, yeah I saw that. I just thought his "today" was much earlier than mine, haha
[18:03] <mgedmin> I'm not sure when "today" ends; the kernel updates promised from Jan 9 landed after midnight of Jan 10 in my timezone, but who's nitpicking ;)
[18:03] <kyrofa> Yeah, also curious about the non-x86 platforms
[18:03] <mgedmin> also "at some level" doesn't necessarily mean my ppa packages stuck since Jan 7 will get unstuck, so I'm not holding my breath
[18:04] <mgedmin> #hugops to launchpad admins!
[18:04] <mgedmin> (twitter hashtags don't really work on IRC)
[23:06] <Pr0t3us> Any news on the build farm?
[23:06] <Pr0t3us> We have a pretty big release for today and most of our users use the PPA repository.
[23:16] <wgrant> Pr0t3us: Just waiting for a handful of builds to finish before we apply the last set of Spectre mitigations and turn i386/amd64 builds back on.
[23:16] <wgrant> Other architectures won't be turned back on today, but x86 should return very shortly.
[23:16] <nacc> wgrant: thanks for the hard work and update!
[23:35] <Pr0t3us> Thank you wgrant
[23:49] <luke-jr> wgrant: there are Spectre mitigations?
[23:52] <wgrant> luke-jr: Not in general, but patches exist that mitigate it for certain use-cases, and Intel has released microcode to allow those mitigations to work on some of their CPUs.
[23:52] <luke-jr> wgrant: do you know where I can find these?
[23:56] <wgrant> luke-jr: Some distros have kernels with early Spectre mitigations, and there are a selection of patches flying around upstream on LKML atm. Ubuntu kernels will soon have Spectre mitigations in addition to the existing Meltdown fixes -- see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown
