[10:52] <thopre01> Hi, can someone point me to the procedure to request a package rebuild (from the same source) in an Ubuntu LTS (Ubuntu bionic)?
[10:55] <juliank> thopre01: the process is to upload it with increased version number
[10:56] <juliank> there's no difference to any other upload
[10:56] <juliank> except, if the version does not contain ubuntu, it will be build1 (build2, ..., and so on)
[10:58] <thopre01> I see
[10:59] <thopre01> How to request such an upload for a universe package then?
[10:59] <thopre01> (I am not the maintainer, just one of the upstream developer)
[10:59] <juliank> thopre01: what do you want rebuild and why?
[11:02] <thopre01> I want the newlib package in Ubuntu bionic rebuild because it was built using an earlier version of gcc-arm-none-eabi than the one currently in bionic and this causes bug LP#1767223
[11:02] <juliank> Usual procedure for sponsored uploads would be to file a bug, attach a debdiff, and subscribe ubuntu-sponsors. But maybe it's fine to subscribe sponsors for a no-change rebuild?
[11:02] <thopre01> Ok, thanks
[11:04] <juliank> thopre01: Here it's obviously more complex, as it involves SRU paperwork. If you believe that a rebuild fixes that, write impact, test case, and regression potential sections in that bug, assign it to the correct package
[11:05] <thopre01> Ok, on it, thanks juliank!
[11:19] <thopre01> Done

[14:22] <jibel> vorlon, hi, there are 3 MPs for layered images waiting for a review, could someone from foundations have a look?

[14:36] <rbasak> jbicha: FYI, patching PHP back to pcre3 seems more difficult than it initially seemed and I don't think it'll be practical.
[14:36] <rbasak> So we'll have to hold on switching to php 7.3 until pcre2 in main is decided.
[14:38] <jbicha> rbasak: I'm sorry to hear that (ok, I'm honestly a bit happy too 😉 )

[14:58] <seb128> bdmurray, hey. The apport autopkgtests seem quite buggy/flakky nowadays, is that a known issue/something you are looking at (e.g https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-disco/disco/amd64/a/apport/20181215_031628_603b6@/log.gz)
[15:27] <bdmurray> seb128: I think they are failing now because of bug 1808508
[15:27] <ubottu> bug 1808508 in valgrind (Ubuntu) "Valgrind doesn't work in disco [Fatal error at startup: a function redirection which is mandatory for this platform-tool combination cannot be set up.]" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1808508
[15:28] <seb128> bdmurray, which is being worked on?
[15:29] <bdmurray> seb128: not quite yet
[15:29] <seb128> k, thx bdmurray
[16:33] <vorlon> cjwatson: iucode-tool> hmm indeed, what should be done about this now given that bionic and cosmic both released this way?  Do you think it's worth copying to -updates to update the source component?
[16:34] <vorlon> jibel: I am EOY; if you need reviews before then, please escalate to gaughen
[16:45] <cjwatson> vorlon: IMO we can live with it for stable releases but should fix it going forward
[17:47] <jibel> vorlon, okay, enjoy EOY break!
[19:02] <Odd_Bloke> smoser: Does https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-keyring/+bug/1809027 appropriately capture what we would need for mfdiff?
[19:02] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1809027 in ubuntu-keyring (Ubuntu) "Make retired Ubuntu keyrings available from the archive" [Undecided,New]
[19:07] <smoser> Odd_Bloke: i think that summarizes it well. good job.
[19:07] <smoser> i might add that it isn't a "one time only" problem.
[19:08] <smoser> at some point 18.04 will also be in such a scenario.
[19:09] <Odd_Bloke> smoser: Yep, great point; added.
[19:13] <smoser> Odd_Bloke: i guess if we were over engineering things... it might be nice to have that package provide you with a mapping of signing-key to release
