seb128oSoMoN, Lukaz was looking for you yesterday asking if the tb SRU is meant to go through security again09:10
seb128oSoMoN, and popey was asking what's the status of firefox 71 for 19.10/stable series09:11
oSoMoNseb128, beaucoup mieux, merci09:12
seb128super!09:12
oSoMoNseb128, I'll talk to them, thanks. the TB SRU isn't meant to go through security, and firefox 71 is up in -security and -updates since last night, except for xenial, but I'm working on it09:13
Laneyhey duflu seb128 marcustomlinson oSoMoN09:13
Laneyseb128: doing alright! you?09:14
seb128doing good!09:16
oSoMoNseb128, before you ask, I'm working on my weekly status update09:21
seb128oSoMoN, :-)09:26
oSoMoNricotz, good morning! you probably noticed that I re-enabled unity-menubar.patch in the xenial build in firefox-next, but when testing I found that the menubar gets duplicated when opening any menu09:49
oSoMoNI need to investigate this further, I won't re-enable the patch in the other series until I figure it out09:50
oSoMoNalso, I'm tempted to remove the patch altogether in focal, so that we don't have to maintain it forever09:50
Laney+++++09:53

dupondjemight want to put it on your radar :) My first tests show that ubuntu is also affected10:56
Laneyjust installed a VM to test the new gtk11:08
Laneyand it's completely broken /o\11:08
Laneycan't get to gdm, even systemd.unit=rescue.target doesn't give me a shell to do anything at11:09
oSoMoNdupondje, ack, those issues are caused by gcc miscompilation, firefox in ubuntu is now built with clang, so in theory it shouldn't be affected11:09
oSoMoNdupondje, what tests exhibit a problem?11:10
seb128Laney, :-(11:11
Laneyseb128: for your gtk2 upload, I think you need ${CROSS_COMPILE} in the pkg-config call too11:15
seb128Laney, yeah, thx, I was just fixing that now11:17
Laneycool11:17
dupondjeoSoMoN: well tested riot, but seems like it was just some delay, and finally worked. So guess we're unaffected on ubuntu indeed. Didn't notice other issues at least :)11:47
oSoMoNdupondje, good :) keep me posted if you do find issues!11:48
Laneytjaalton: hey, can you take a look at this log and see if you know why it's going south please? https://paste.debian.net/1120491/13:37
Laneythis is a VM and I can't log into a session13:38
LaneyGDM/Wayland fails like this: https://paste.debian.net/1120492/13:40
Laneyis this some udev thing?13:41
Laneyjust wanted to test my gtk update - two broken projects later and I'm still not there :)13:41
Laneynicely shaven yak though13:41

Wimpresshellsworth: Well spotted. I missed that.14:40
hellsworthwow it's 2 years old14:40
WimpressYep, just reading...14:41
seb128I don't think it's rls material14:41
seb128but it has a workaround patch and might be worth reviewing14:41
seb128but that's rather for the sponsoring queue imho;..14:41
WimpressHmm, patch looks like a bodge.14:41
Wimpress`sleep 2`14:42
Wimpressseb128: You want it in the sponsoring queue?14:44
seb128Wimpress, well, it has a patch that didn't get reviewed, even if it's not correct 1- the contributor deserves a reply 2- it might give a clue of the issue and of a better fix14:44
seb128just need to subscribe ubuntu-sponsors for that14:45
seb128but in the meeting we usually focus on +1/-1 to rls nominate14:45
WimpressI've subscribe ubuntu-sponsors14:45

seb128Wimpress, that's a duplicate and I while it's a frequently reported issue I don't think we should rls target it14:48
WimpressOK. I'll drop the tag.14:48
seb128it's also already being worked on upstream (I provided them a db from a system which has the issue, looks like it happens on corrupted sqlite dbs)14:48

LaneyThink seb128 is more on it than me atm14:59
seb128right14:59
hellsworthi can poke the security folks on libmail-dkim-perl today15:00
hellsworthseb128: is there anything on this list i can help with?15:00
seb128thx, that would be useful15:00
seb128I think the list is mostly i386 removal fallouts15:00
seb128which are being handled15:00
hellsworthoki15:00
WimpressSuspiciously high number of build failures on armhf15:01
seb128https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2019-December/040859.html15:01
seb128for those who didn't see that / want context15:01
seb128Wimpress, oh?15:01
seb128anyway, outside of i38615:01
seb128oSoMoN, I think we should consider badtest firefox/armhf15:01
seb128rather than keep retrying a long job with poor success15:01
oSoMoNyeah, agreed15:01
Wimpress+115:02
oSoMoNit's gotten worse lately15:02
Laneywhat made it start failing and why wouldn't it be more appropriate to fix that?15:02
seb128can you mp a britney hint for it?15:02
oSoMoNLaney, I don't know what made it start failing, there's a bug open to investigate it but I haven't had time for it15:02
seb128Laney, we should fix it, but realistically armhf isn't high enough the priority list that I can see it fixes before holidays15:03
seb128so I suggest we skip that version instead of hammering retry which we currently do15:03
seb128I will card the task to properly fix it though15:03
seb128Laney, sounds an acceptable compromise?15:03
seb128otherwise cyrus-imapd needs to be fixed, but that's not especially us since it's universe15:04
seb128and I think that's it15:05
didrocksI think related to this, there are 2 MIRs that needs investigations (if needed), and if so, filed: xorg/xterm, libnotify/sugar (https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches-proposed.svg)15:05
seb128hellsworth, thx for asking if you could help, but I think we should be good for this round (if you want to poke at cyrus-imapd feel free though)15:05
LaneyI don't particularly suggest "hammering retry" is ever the right thing to do15:05
Laneyif we don't care about a working firefox on armhf, stop building it15:06
seb128didrocks, thx15:06
seb128Laney, yeah, I was thinking about that, we should probably have that discussion15:06
seb128oSoMoN, ^15:06
seb128firefox on amd64 only15:06
seb128but not today :)15:06
seb128Wimpress, I think that's enough for that section of the meeting15:07
oSoMoNI would certainly welcome dropping architectures that almost no-one uses anyway15:07
LaneyI don't think armhf (or arm64) falls into that category though, they are certainly used for desktop stuff15:07
oSoMoNthe most obvious one being s390x, which we know builds but segfaults at startup15:07
LaneyI'm certainly happy for an armhf build of firefox on my raspberry pi15:07
WimpressI agree with Laney15:07
marcustomlinsonyep15:08
marcustomlinsondesktop != amd6415:08
oSoMoNyeah15:08
kenvandines390 though... that should be a candidate to drop15:08
seb128well, but also n% of our capacity spent for 0.01% users...15:08
seb128but anyway15:09
seb128not a topic for here/now I think15:09
oSoMoNI'm not aware of reports that firefox doesn't work on armhf though, it seems it's just that one test when run in the autopkgtest infrastructure15:09
Laneywe control what tests the package executes, and if it's not doing a good job of testing if firefox actually works then it could be altered to do so15:10
WimpressAre we all done with that topic?15:11
seb128I think so15:11
oSoMoNLaney, let's continue the discussion just after the meeting15:11
WimpressGood idea.15:11
Laneyif the firefox in focal release is already broken then we could badtest this version I guess15:11

oSoMoNLaney, so the firefox/focal/armhf hang is tracked by bug #185357115:15
ubot5bug 1853571 in firefox (Ubuntu) "autopkgtests sometimes hang on armhf" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/185357115:15
oSoMoNit appears that what hangs is geckodriver, i.e. the executable used for driving the selenium tests, not firefox itself15:16
oSoMoNwhich would explain why I haven't seen any reports of firefox actually not working on armhf15:16
oSoMoNthis is of course something that needs to be investigated and fixed, but realistically I won't get around to it before the holidays15:17
oSoMoNwhat's the least bad course of action?15:17
seb128thx15:18
Laneyis the version already in focal broken in the same way do you know?15:18
oSoMoNyes15:18
oSoMoNIt migrated after a few retries15:18
Laneyprobably means it is ok-ish to add a badtest hint then, since the package in proposed doesn't change the situation15:19
oSoMoN(I know retrying is almost never the right answer, but it appears that if the test infrastructure isn't under load there's a much higher probability for the test to pass)15:19
oSoMoNsee http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/firefox/focal/armhf15:20
Laneyif it's a fails on slow systems thing then stress-ng might help you :-)15:20
oSoMoNit started failing more reliably on 2019-11-0715:20
oSoMoNnothing really stands out in the versions of the test dependencies15:23
Laneyyeah I guess it'll take some poking15:27
Laneyyou can see the testbed deps too if you download the artifacts15:27
oSoMoNyeah, I did that15:27
oSoMoNLaney, there's already a badtest hint for it, the version just needs updating: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release/britney/hints-ubuntu/revision/408915:29
oSoMoNdo you want me to submit a MR for it, or can you go ahead and push it yourself?15:29
oSoMoNthe version in -proposed is 71.0+build5-0ubuntu115:30
Laneyok, I can do that15:32
oSoMoNthanks15:33
