dupondjeSomebody can have a look to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird ? Hanging in proposed for some time now08:01
zygawaveform: hell12:04
zygahello :)12:04
waveformzyga, hi!12:05
zygawaveform: I'd like to ask you about bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/157410312:05
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1574103 in snapd "Raspberry Pi 2 image LEDs are swapped." [Medium,In progress]12:05
zygaI spoke to some developers working on the related part of snapd and I the issue can finally be fixed for everyone in the field12:05
zygabut it requires an explicit markup in the gadget snap12:05
zygaI left two comments in the bug, please have a look12:06
waveformzyga, will do12:06
zygawaveform: thank you, let me know if you have any questions about this12:06
zygawaveform: I think it could be one or two liner to fix12:06
waveformzyga, yup - that's simple enough. I did wonder why those two were configured that way, but just assumed "that's how someone wanted it"12:11
zygawaveform: you mean the LEDs?12:11
zygawaveform: I don't know if this is true but I suspect it would also be the first time this functionality was used for public devices12:13
waveformzyga, yup, the LEDs12:13
waveformzyga, interesting - pioneering even (sorry, bad pun :)12:14
zygahahaha12:14
zygait would be a pity if it broke ;)12:14
zygawaveform: ping me back once you have something for testing, I think it would be a cool story to share12:15
waveformheh, with all the fun we're having with the classic image at the moment, that doesn't bear thinking about!12:15
waveformzyga, will do12:15
zygapopey: ^ FYI (pi gadget updates to fix backwards leds)12:16
cpaelzerif a package wants to ship binary+manpage (ok) and a symlink to the binray for ease of use to be also available under antother name lintian rightfully complains "W: mdevctl: binary-without-manpage"12:41
cpaelzerwhat is the common pattern to resove this, also ln -s the manpage OR copy the manpage OR some flagging/metadata for man to recognize the one file being responsible for both binary paths12:41
cjwatsonln -s the man page13:10
cjwatsoncpaelzer: ^-13:10
cjwatsonwhile it's possible to put metadata in the man page itself, it's better to have it in the filesystem13:11
cjwatsonyou should mention both possible names in the NAME section of the man page, ideally.  See lexgrog(1) for the correct formatting13:11
=== ricab is now known as ricab|lunch
cpaelzerthanks cjwatson, will do so13:24
cpaelzercjwatson: worked and even followed it up to name the symlink .gz when it packed the actual manpage - but it made a link with a leading / which is broken13:53
cpaelzerI might need to experiment with ln options on that13:53
cpaelzertried "-s -r ./orig ..." and ""-s -r orig ...""13:53
cpaelzerboth end up as "-> /orig" which isn#t what I'd need13:53
cpaelzerdropping -r for a test of that ...13:54
cpaelzergot it - "ln -s orig full-path-to-new-in-builddir" did it13:57
cjwatsonOr you could just use dh_link which should DTRT13:57
cpaelzerI'd want to do it in the upstream makefile to upstream it13:58
cpaelzerwhich is what I did now13:58

xnoxdoko:  https://bileto.ubuntu.com/excuses/3845/focal.html is the bileto results for python3-defaults pointing at v3.814:19
xnoxso 198+ packages regressed in release pocket, at least. Tests are still running14:21
dokoxnox: "regressed in release pocket" is misleading. we already have all these in the release pocket, where didn't try building/testing with 3.814:31
xnoxdoko:  it's not misleading. it's the packages that would regress their autopkgtests if python3-defaults pointing at v3.8 migrates =) which obviously it will be blocked from doing so.14:42
xnoxdoko:  i don't know if your concern is around the language i used, but this is approximately how the things will look like if we sync python3-defaults from experimental to focal-proposed14:43
dokoxnox: well, yes, but some of those are already regressed without the upcoming upload14:43
xnoxah14:43
dokobut anyway, we have to fix all these14:44
xnoxdoko:  should i make a bileto PPA with a no-change rebuild of python3-defaults, python3.8, python3.7 to trigger things as is?14:44
xnoxbecause fixing those things is more urgent, as they would start creeping up in the dep chains?14:44
dokono, that doesn't have any value now, I think, unless somebody wants to work on these now14:44
seb128cpaelzer, rbasak, do you know if anyone is looking at the postgresql-12 autopkgtest failures on focal?15:08
cpaelzerseb128: we have been looking and resolving them down from ~40 -> 23 (custom test triggers) and then with more effort (fixes) down to 1115:19
cpaelzerseb128: the remaining 11 are all cases were the upstreams have to wake up and actually push e.g. a new version15:19
cpaelzerto not do all of that on our shoulders we ahve decided about a week ago to wait a bit (allowing upstreams the time to release that)15:19
cpaelzerand then will pick it up again15:20
cpaelzerseb128: it is postponed intentionally, but not un-noticed :-)15:20
cpaelzerdoes that answer the question enough seb128?15:20
seb128cpaelzer, sort of, my next question is what are we supposed to do for items blocked on those? just skip and let migrate? (e.g libxml2)15:21
seb128cpaelzer, thx for the reply in any case!15:24
cpaelzerseb128: my plan was to get back after DPDK (~1-2 weeks from now) and then check upstreams17:10
cpaelzerI wsa in touch with myon (Debian postgres maintainer) and synced on these open cases17:11
cpaelzerseb128: if things are blocked we might let them pass17:11
cpaelzereventually there are two cases a) real issues and b) obvious non-related issues like if libxml fails due to the wrong DB being installed17:11
cpaelzerif it is easy to decide I'd let them pass17:11
cpaelzerbut otherwsise if things can wait the 2 weeks I'd wait17:12
cpaelzerthen once we know more we can do much better decisions17:12
