[16:07] <slangasek> juliank:
[16:07] <juliank> * updated the distro a bit - 13 "new" merges & syncs (since last meeting): zsh, transmission (CVE-2018-5702), aptitude, brltty (bug 1741070), readline (sync), slang2, strace, gnutls28, kbd, wget, valgrind, dash, curl
[16:07] <juliank> * 3 other simple uploads: ppc64-diag (bug 1744707), lsvpd (bug 1741070), lshw (bug 1741070) - simple backlog growth prevention.
[16:07] <juliank> * finished the multipath-tools merge, thanks cpaelzer for reviewing and testing it
[16:07] <juliank> * would like to merge some harder stuff like rsyslog or pam
[16:07] <juliank> * need to fix some regressions from the merges :(
[16:07] <slangasek> sil2100: kernel-sru bot?
[16:07] <sil2100> slangasek: I have a bot that pokes me whenever there's a new kernel ready for review or release
[16:07] <juliank> (done)
[16:07] <rbalint> * flash-kernel merge, waiting a test on actual hw in LP: #1690650
[16:07] <rbalint> * internal testbed setup
[16:08] <rbalint> (done)
[16:08] <slangasek> juliank: pam already has a merge in progress, please don't steal
[16:08] <sil2100> slangasek: but it got busted, mainly because my instance ran out of disk space due to the kernels, but now I'm manually autoremoving those just in case ;)
[16:08] <juliank> slangasek: awesome
[16:08] <slangasek> sil2100: if only we had some technology to autoremove unused kernels
[16:09]  * juliank wanted to ask about that later
[16:09] <sil2100> ;)
[16:09] <slangasek> tribaal:
[16:09] <rbalint> slangasek: i'm on it, :-)
[16:09] <juliank> slangasek: there's a bug about automatic autoremoval in apt from sabdfl :)
[16:10] <slangasek> no tribaal?
[16:10] <slangasek> and no infinity
[16:10] <slangasek> tdaitx:
[16:10] <tdaitx> * OpenJDK 8 security updates:
[16:10] <tdaitx>   - armhf, arm64, and s390x demanding some love (hotspot security fixes)
[16:10] <tdaitx> * Ongoing backport to OpenJDK 7
[16:10] <tdaitx> * Testing OpenJDK 9.0.4 as default openjdk
[16:10] <tdaitx>   - going albeit slow, need to free more space again
[16:10] <tdaitx> AOB:
[16:10] <tdaitx> - where should I go to debug s390x core files? is there a porter box somewhere?
[16:10] <tdaitx> - docker is a buffoon and leaves piles of btrfs subvolumes around
[16:10] <tdaitx> (done)
[16:10] <Odd_Bloke> * Similar to Steve, at product sprint and off for most of this week
[16:10] <Odd_Bloke> * Continued Meltdown/Spectre work
[16:10] <Odd_Bloke> * Adding the lxd snap to our matrix of lxd testing
[16:10] <Odd_Bloke> (done)
[16:12] <slangasek> tdaitx: there's not a formal "porter box" setup for s390x but we can get you access
[16:12] <slangasek> tdaitx: ping me after the meeting?
[16:12] <tdaitx> slangasek: sure, thanks!
[16:12] <slangasek> any questions over status?
[16:13] <slangasek> since bdmurray is off, I think we'll skip over bugs this week
[16:14] <slangasek> [TOPIC] AOB
[16:14] <slangasek> anything else?
[16:14] <sil2100> I have a question
[16:14] <sil2100> So debian-cd is holding up lynx-cur as an NBS, but I see that we never actually had an Ubuntu delata in debian-cd
[16:14] <slangasek> the nbs report is blind to alternatives and such
[16:14] <sil2100> I forwarded the patch to Debian, but should we wait for the next debian-cd release that will get synced?
[16:15] <slangasek> is it possible this is not a real blocker for removal?
[16:15] <slangasek> Depends: lynx-cur | lynx
[16:15] <sil2100> Not sure, I thought alternatives still keep the binary around
[16:15] <slangasek> so should be possible to remove
[16:15] <sil2100> Oh, this I did not know!
[16:15] <slangasek> the report could be improved
[16:16] <sil2100> slangasek: ok, then I'll just remove the binary then, since that's the only leftover
[16:16] <sil2100> phew
[16:16] <slangasek> sil2100: sounds good :)
[16:16] <sil2100> I thought I'd have to eb the bad guy to first introduce an ubuntu delta for debian-cd ;p
[16:16] <sil2100> Thanks!
[16:17] <slangasek> ok cool
[16:17] <slangasek> anything else?
[16:17] <slangasek> quick meeting
[16:17] <slangasek> everyone can get back to the fire drills in progress
