[07:43] <alkisg> Hi, /var/lib/snapd/snaps somehow ends up getting copied-up in overlayfs in live CDs, wasting as much RAM as there are snaps installed
[07:43] <alkisg> https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1867415
[07:45] <alkisg> Installed snaps shouldn't consume tmpfs RAM space, they should only use squashfs disk space; if this continues then live CDs won't be usable in the future as snaps will need GB  of tmpfs space
[07:57] <alkisg> And of course that means that if LTSP users install 5 GB snaps, they'll need netbooted PCs to have 5 GB more RAM, which of course doesn't happen with .debs; I guess this will force them to uninstall snapd...
[08:29] <alkisg> I suspect they're hard linked from /var/lib/snapd/seed/snaps/*.snap to /var/lib/snapd/snaps/, and this causes overlayfs copy-ups for all snaps

[10:51] <brlin> alkisg: FYI, there's a #snappy channel here
[14:48] <alkisg> brlin: thanks; regarding the forum topic, yeah I opened that after opening the launchpad bug
[16:00] <alkisg> brlin: do you think I should put casper in affected packages, in case it cannot be fixed in snapd in time for 20.04, but it can be worked-around in casper?
[16:01] <brlin> alkisg: If it's related (in any way) I suppose it's reasonable.
[16:03] <alkisg> I believe it can be considered a bug in snap/squashfs/squashfs.go, function Install, but it can also be worked around by symlinking all the files in casper's initrd-bottom
[16:04] <alkisg> Maybe it's best to wait a few days, and if there's no feedback from snap, then put casper too
[17:30] <sabdfl> hi folks
[17:30] <sabdfl> do we have a libc6 issue in focal today?
[19:30] <Unit193> Bug 1867423 (and other duplicates)
[23:28] <nicolas17> https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/xenial-updates/git is there a git repo for the ubuntu packaging of git?
[23:32] <valorie> ha
[23:33] <valorie> it would be funny if it was in bzr
[23:33] <nicolas17> I found the git repo Debian uses, but that doesn't have Ubuntu-specific changes (such as security backports) or the changes done for the PPA https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[23:41] <valorie> nicolas17: you could ask in #ubuntu-devel maybe
[23:42]  * Unit193 looks at the channel.
[23:42] <valorie> err, we're here
[23:42] <valorie> sheesh
[23:42] <valorie> I saw that in the ohnosecond
