sil2100That was done I suppose?15:06
tewardI emailed our list but got no rejection or negative response to the proposal15:06
sil2100I'm generally +115:06
tewardso I did email - if I don't hear back by next meeting I"m going to just assume nobody objects15:06
ddstreeti'm still +1 on skipping that date15:06
tewardas am I, so that's 3 out of 715:07
tewardand I don't think anyone will object :P15:07

tewardgood so that's +4.  I'll make the revision non-tentative on the agenda page later.15:07

tewardwe have one applicant today15:08
teward#subtopic Seth Forshee (2020-11-16 meeting)15:08
teward#link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SethForshee/DkmsUploadApplication15:08
tewardsforshee: say hello and introduce yourself while we review your application?15:09
sforsheehi all, I'm Seth. I've been working on the kernel team at Canonical for 9+ years15:09
sforsheeI am applying to join the dkms package uploader team, which has been approved but (I think) not yet created15:09
sforsheeI'm part of the group who works on getting new upstream kernels ready for the development series, and part of that work is updating dkms modules to be compatible with these new kernels15:09
sforsheewe are often delayed due to needing sponsors for these dkms fixes, so I am seeking membership in order to sponsor these uploads and reduce such delays15:09
sforsheeI've been doing this work for years, so I am very familiar with dkms in general and I know which dkms packages in Ubuntu have active maintainers that we should coordinate these updates with15:09
rbasakHave you done SRUs of DKMS packages, or only in the development release?15:11
sforsheeI have done SRU too, when we are backporting hwe kernels15:12
rbasakCould you link an example please? The examples in your application aren't clickable and it isn't obvious to me which are SRUs15:12
sforsheerbasak: ok, that may take a few minutes as I'm not sure off the top of my head which ones were SRU15:13
tewardwe've got time :)15:13
ddstreetsforshee is there currently a list of the existing dkms packages? i know the nvidia driver packages are dkms, but i'm not clear on what other dkms packages would be included in the new packageset15:16
sforsheeddstreet: I think fginther provided one when requesting the new team, if not I can provide one15:16
ddstreetah indeed he did https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/devel-permissions/2020-July/001539.html15:17
sil2100Yeah, Francis had a list in the original e-mail15:17
sforsheerbasak: I haven't been able to find an SRU example yet ... tbh I think that list is incomplete, but those were all I was able to find15:18
tewardthere's a couple things missing there that're DKMS i think ddstreet15:18
tewardsuch as the nvidia 450 drivers too15:18
teward(which I know exist)15:18
sforsheelikely those are new since the list was made15:18
tewardmhm15:19
sforsheea lot of new nvidia drivers have been intorduced lately15:19
ddstreetyeah, i assume the packageset will need to be updated with each new nvidia package name, since it includes the version info in the name for whatever reason15:19
tewardguess we need to poke the kernel team today then for the updated set of things to put into the packageset.15:20
rbasaksforshee: I don't see any DKMS uploads in 2020. Is this because they tend to come in batches, or is there some other reason?15:20
sforsheerbasak: this year others have been doing the dkms updates while I had some other tasks to focus on15:21
sforsheerbasak: yeah I don't think any in that list are SRU. It may be in those cases that I only supplied the patches and someone else prepared the uploads15:24
sforsheerbasak: I do have a lot of SRU experience with other packages, kernel and linux-firmware in particular15:25
ddstreetsforshee when performing an sru to add a patch, do you need to add anything to the patch file?15:26
sforsheeif you'd like an example of those I can easily supply one15:26
* rbasak continues to look at some details15:26
sforsheeddstreet: the patch file is added in the debian dir and is added to a dkms conf file listing the patches to be applied15:27
ddstreetand do you use the patch file generated from git format-patch as-is, or does it need any sru-specific changes (besides normal backporting code changes)?15:28
sforsheejust backporting in my experience15:29
rbasaksforshee: I just looked at one of your linux-firmware SRUs so I accept your point - thanks.15:30
ddstreeti was hinting at the dep3 header info, which isn't used in kernel-land, but is very useful for other packages15:30
sforsheeddstreet: ah, okay. I was never asked by a sponsor to include those headers15:31
ddstreete.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysdig/+bug/1773367/comments/315:32
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1773367 in sysdig (Ubuntu) "sysdig 0.21.0-1 ADT test failure with linux 4.17.0-1.2+signed1" [Medium,Fix released]15:32
sforsheegot it, I will definitely keep that in mind in the future15:32
ddstreetit's not critical since the info can be found eventually, but really helps speed up debugging previous sru'ed patches15:33
ddstreetno more q from me (getting quick coffee)15:35
tewardi've got no questions (you all asked them).15:39
tewardany more questions for sforshee?15:39
sil2100None from me15:40
tewardrbasak: ?15:40
rbasakI'm ready to vote, thanks.15:40
teward#voters ddstreet teward rbasak sil210015:41
meetingologyCurrent voters: ddstreet rbasak sil2100 teward15:41
rbasakI'd prefer to have seen: 1) a more recent track record of sponsored uploads to the requested packages; 2) more direct examples of DKMS SRUs performed. However I think that in Seth's case, he has been immersed in Ubuntu development long enough, with a long track record of uploads, that he knows what is expected and his uploads won't cause problems for other developers, and I don't want to block15:41
teward#vote Seth Forshee for DKMS Packageset upload rights15:41
rbasakprogress in getting the DKMS packageset started. I consider this the exception though - for most applicants to the DKMS packageset, I would expect my two points directly fulfilled so this exception shouldn't be considered to be setting a standard.15:41
