[10:16] <blahdeblah> Hi all, what's the right way to request backports of particular packages to be made available?  I'm looking for dnsmasq 2.81 or better for focal.
[10:16] <blahdeblah> (Alternatively, is there a low-friction way I can prepare my own by uploading the source debs from groovy into a PPA for focal?)
[10:17] <xnox> blahdeblah:  backportpackage tool exists.... it can prepare no change backport & upload it to a ppa
[10:17] <blahdeblah> Thanks xnox - I'll check it out
[11:41] <blahdeblah> xnox: Wow - that was super easy.  I expected it to be an arcane process, at the end of which my builds would be queued behind a bunch of distro rebuilds, but it just worked out of the box, and the builds whizzed through in a flash.  Thanks!
[12:20] <xnox> blahdeblah:  distro rebuilds are prioritised below everything else.
[12:21] <xnox> security/new changeful builds are somewhat in the middle, of the mince.
[15:11] <Laney> rbasak: git-ubuntu question... can I get a patches applied version of a package in the queue? it looks like 'queue sync' only creates an unapplied tag, right?
[15:12] <Laney> I thought that would be a way to review the apparmor upload
[15:12] <rbasak> Laney: unfortunately not, sorry, but I'd like that too
[15:13] <rbasak> You can hack something around gbp pq, but I usually do it manually
[15:13] <rbasak> I expect I'll implement it at some point
[15:15] <Laney> alright, thanks
[15:20] <ahasenack> tjaalton: hi, what do you think about this for sssd:
[15:20] <ahasenack>   Condition: start condition failed at Wed 2020-10-14 15:19:51 UTC; 2s ago
[15:20] <ahasenack>              └─ ConditionFileNotEmpty=/etc/sssd/sssd.conf was not met
[15:20] <ahasenack> I know you said a while back you wouldn't add that to debian
[15:20] <ahasenack> policy and such, service must be able to start right after installation, etc
[15:21] <ahasenack> there is also /etc/sssd/conf.d to look at, but I haven't see packages drop stuff in there yet
[15:23] <tjaalton> ahasenack: I don't know what "this" is? :)
[15:30] <Laney> kanashiro: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/prometheus-alertmanager/0.15.3+ds-3ubuntu1 <- woah, that's quite the timezone!
[15:31] <rbasak> I think git-ubuntu might balk at that :-/
[15:31] <Laney> possible, I just got emailed about it by a script which was trying to parse it
[15:40] <rbasak> I have hit similar issues before in git-ubuntu. We do have a mechanism to deal with it but it needs manual intervention.
[15:40] <rbasak> Long term if it continues happening I intend to see if patching dak and Launchpad to reject these would be acceptable.
[15:41]  * rbasak has also seen work done on the 30th of February and separately at 79 minutes past the hour and that sort of thing :-/
[15:42] <Laney> We imported the whole history of Ubuntu into UDD a few years ago - there's some wild stuff in there, indeed
[15:49] <rbasak> Crazy times
[16:39] <ahasenack> tjaalton: the ConditionFileNotEmpty in the sssd.service
[16:39] <ahasenack> tjaalton: so if there is no config, sssd is not started (and as such does not fail)
[16:56] <tjaalton> ahasenack: I need to think about it
[18:44] <ahasenack> tjaalton: so I troubleshooted https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1897153
[18:45] <ahasenack> tjaalton: I believe we can do better, but ultimately it's a configuration problem in his setup
[18:45] <ahasenack> he is relying on a certain fallback behavior
[18:45] <slyon> Hey, could somebody please re-trigger this build? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netplan.io/0.100-0ubuntu5/+build/20149128 – It failed due to a flaky dbus unit test
[18:49] <ginggs> slyon: .
[18:51] <ahasenack> tjaalton: his /etc/auto.master has a line like: " /mnt/GGData auto.DataVol1 --ghost"
[18:51] <ahasenack> that syntax, when the map file (auto.DataVol1) does not have a path, is explicit for nsswitch.conf lookups
[18:52] <ahasenack> tjaalton: if there is no automount entry in nsswitch.conf, then autofs falls back to assuming the map file is in /etc
[18:54] <slyon> ginggs: thank you!
[18:55] <ginggs> slyon: yw!
[18:56] <ahasenack> so the fix for that case is to use " /mnt/GGData /etc/auto.DataVol1 --ghost"
[19:44] <aleb> Laney: LocutusOfBorg: A new point-release has been cut for Pitivi: 2020.09.1 and it's already packaged in Debian. Any chance you could pick it up before the freeze tomorrow?
[19:56] <LocutusOfBorg> aleb, .
[20:01] <realtime-neil> How do I customize the efibootmgr label of an ubuntu installation?
[21:09] <aleb> LocutusOfBorg: what do you mean?
