[08:53] <FourDollars> Hi, I would like to make a merge proposal on https://code.launchpad.net/~fourdollars/+git/systemd/+ref/ubuntu-cosmic/+register-merge to https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/+git/systemd/+ref/ubuntu-cosmic, but it always shows me the error.
[09:13] <tarzeau> would it not make sense for ubuntu to have /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf with COMPRESS=xz (about 40% savings in /boot for the initial ramdisk) by default?
[09:19] <cjwatson> I answered FourDollars on #launchpad
[09:24] <FourDollars> xnox: Why is https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/+git/systemd/+ref/ubuntu-cosmic not in project or package namespace (as appropriate)? https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Git#Repository_URLs
[09:26] <xnox> FourDollars, honestly, no idea. Project would be awkward for it (because this is not upstream code); and so would a package namespace (cause it is not git-ubuntu compatible one).
[09:26] <xnox> FourDollars, do git format-patch; and attach them to a bug report?
[09:26] <FourDollars> xnox: OK
[09:27] <cjwatson> Package namespaces don't have to be git-ubuntu compatible
[09:28] <cjwatson> You might not be able to merge it into lp:ubuntu/+source/systemd, but that's OK
[09:28] <xnox> sure
[09:28] <xnox> i'm looking at kernel team repos.... https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/+git
[09:29] <xnox> and i don't like that naming convention. As i'd rather have branches for series, not separate repos.
[09:29] <xnox> cjwatson, is lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+git/systemd nice enough?
[09:30] <xnox> (well "more correct")
[09:30] <cjwatson> xnox: That's fine, and if it's the default repo for that owner/target then it can be abbreviated to lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/+source/systemd
[09:30] <FourDollars> xnox: I have attach the patch on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1799364. It is appreciated if you sponsor me.
[09:31] <cjwatson> The kernel team repositories aren't a good general example to take; they have reasons for having series-specific repositories, but they aren't generally applicable
[09:32] <cjwatson> (to do with size, number of refs, that sort of thing, IIRC)
[09:32] <xnox> ok
[09:32] <xnox> i'll see if I can migrate over to lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/+source/systemd
[09:32] <cjwatson> Thanks
[09:33] <FourDollars> :)
[09:33] <xnox> FourDollars, hi. Your patch is actually not easy to review or merge =) it would be easier to just state "please cherrypick 9e2629919f0cd4d48d179fa5ae5e46c3267c1cdc"
[09:34] <xnox> FourDollars, also did you simply use $ ./debian/git-cherry-pick 9e2629919f0cd4d48d179fa5ae5e46c3267c1cdc to generate that?
[09:34] <FourDollars> xnox: OK. Let me try it.
[09:35] <xnox> FourDollars, please don't =) i already did that locally
[09:35] <FourDollars> OK
[09:35] <xnox> FourDollars, basically, in systemd, we use that script for (bulk) upstream cherrypicks. And it results in slightly different patches generated.
[09:36] <xnox> cause it uses gbp-pq
[09:36] <FourDollars> xnox: OK
[09:36] <xnox> see http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mp8PMhxpMZ/ is the patch generated. It has no top level from line, but does have (cherry picked from....) message
[09:37] <xnox> and then debian/changelog is also generated from git-dch, rather than edited by hand.
[09:37] <xnox> but that's details of how systemd package is maintained in debian (and merged into ubuntu).
[09:37] <xnox> FourDollars, in the future, "please cherrypick commits # # # # into dapper/hardy/feisty is good enough"
[09:38] <FourDollars> xnox: OK
[09:38] <FourDollars> xnox: I will do it again for bionic.
[09:38] <xnox> and easier / doesn't require you to mess about with debdiffs, etc.
[09:38] <xnox> FourDollars, which releases this change should go into?
[09:38] <FourDollars> xnox: cosmic first and then bionic.
[09:38] <xnox> cab01e9ecf1c69656785e64f5fc94cd4ed09e57f is post v238.
[09:39] <xnox> FourDollars, ack, that's fine. I'll cherry-pick into both.
[09:39] <FourDollars> xnox++
[09:39] <xnox> let me try to migrate the repo too.
[10:07] <xnox> FourDollars, what would be useful, is for you to contribute impact/testcase/regression potential for this SRU in the bug description at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1799364 I've copied in the stock template. Could you fill it out please?
[10:31] <FourDollars> xnox: OK
[13:47] <seb128> cjwatson, hey. Do you feel like the comments on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/man-db/+bug/1785414 are enough to tag it verification-done?
[13:49] <seb128> juliank, hey, do you think you could get bug #1786486 verified? it's sitting in the verification queue for a while
[13:50] <seb128> tjaalton, hey there, did you see that Lukazs had a question on the SRU verification for bug #1789924 ?
[13:50] <tjaalton> seb128: did now
[13:50] <seb128> good :)
[13:51] <cjwatson> seb128: Mm, sounds like I missed something else, but good enough for v-done - marked it as such
[13:51] <seb128> cjwatson, thx!
[13:51] <cjwatson> may as well get this much out the door
[13:51] <juliank> seb128: I know. I can verify case 1 tomorrow, but not sure about 2
[13:51] <juliank> um
[13:52] <juliank> I can run that now
[13:52] <juliank> this is hard
[13:54] <juliank> Let's see
[13:56] <seb128> juliank, thx
[14:03] <juliank> sea-gull: I verified the minimal apt test case now, but I don't have the resources to do the u-r-u one atm. Maybe bdmurray can help there (verify u-r-u upgrade path in bug 1786486)
[14:03] <juliank> um
[14:03] <juliank> seb128:
[14:03] <juliank> sorry, sea-gull
[14:03] <seb128> juliank, thx
[14:03] <bdmurray> juliank: sure, I can do that
[14:05] <seb128> thx bdmurray
[14:18] <softwayer> Hi everyone! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash#Installing_dbgsym_packages_from_a_PPA states a way to get dbgsym packages for my PPA, but actually they aren't there
[14:18] <softwayer> So is there a way to setup generation of -dbgsym packages for my PPA?
[14:19] <seb128> softwayer, in the +edit subpage you have a "publish debug symbols" checkbox
[14:20] <seb128> build/publish checkboxes
[14:23] <softwayer> great, thanks!
[15:58] <FourDollars> xnox: I just filled the bug description of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1799364. If there is still any problem, please let me know.
