dokook, I'll take that15:38
dokomozc/abseil is still unresolved15:38
dokowho is pkg-ime?15:38
didrocksan empty MIR for abseil is opened, but missed the tag to be listed15:39
dokodidrocks: #1908502 is incomplete15:39
didrocksseb128 will do the MIR AFAIK15:39
ddstreetfor usrmerge, I approved it and put into in-progress; but since it's already seeded, should i just move it directly to fix-committed?15:40
didrocksdoko: dunno about this one, we didn’t talk about libtiff5 last week, I can chase15:40
dokoddstreet: ok, I'll promote that after the meeting15:41

GunnarHjMaybe that's where my item comes in.15:44
GunnarHjThis is about the opencc MIR at bug #1909665. We were asked to add a symbols file for libopencc1.1, but since it's written in C++ doing so proved to be harder than I first realized. I was invited by didrocks to talk about it here.15:44
GunnarHjSo I guess my questions are:15:44
GunnarHj1. Should a symbols file be a requirement for including a C++ library in Ubuntu's main?15:44
GunnarHj2. Even if it normally is, is there room for an exception in case of a non-core library with a specific target user group? (libopencc1.1 facilitates conversion between simplified and traditional Chinese.)15:44

dokothe formal answer is: yes ;p15:45
GunnarHjdoko: To which of the questions?15:46
dokoto 115:46
GunnarHjOk. Room for exception in a non-core package?15:46
dokoI know it's a pain, however we don't have yet anything better15:47
dokowe really should use abigail instead of symbols files for c++ symbols15:47
GunnarHjWe haven't given up yet, but had a discussion at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/opencc/-/merge_requests/1, and the principal maintainer suggested that I ask.15:48
dokoI'm not aware of any exceptions. I would tend to no-exception for now. any opinions=?15:48
dokolooks like -3 has symbols files ...15:49
sarnoldI don't understand the purpose of the symbols files well enough to have strong opinions; if they're part of some automated way to find abi breakage, then I'd guess they're more important with c++ than c, no?15:50
dokoyes, finding ABI breakage. I don't see a difference for c and c++. but with c++, it's harder to see what makes up the ABI15:51
dokothere are a lot of smbols for template instantiations, which vary for optimization levels, archs, endienness and 32/64 bit15:52
sarnoldoh wow15:52
seb128hey there15:53
sarnoldhey seb12815:53
dokoabipkgdiff <lib1.deb> <lib2.deb> is usually very helpful15:54
seb128is the MIR meeting over yet?15:54
sarnoldseb128: no, we're right now discussing adding symbols to opencc15:54
sarnold:https://launchpad.net/bugs/1909665 and https://salsa.debian.org/debian/opencc/-/merge_requests/115:54
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1909665 in opencc (Ubuntu) "[MIR] ibus-libpinyin dependencies" [Undecided,Incomplete]15:54
GunnarHjI learned that the hard way. Created a symbols file and got opencc uploaded, but the build failed in all archs but two.15:54
dokoGunnarHj: https://qt-kde-team.pages.debian.net/symbolfiles.html15:55
GunnarHjdoko: Right, I was told that pkg-kde-tools may help.15:55
dokoso could you give it a try first?15:56
GunnarHjdoko: Sure, as I said we haven't given up.15:56
dokothanks15:56
dokoanything else?15:57
GunnarHjThanks for considering it.15:57
sarnoldthanks GunnarHj15:57
sarnolddoko: nothing from me15:57
dokoseb128: ?15:57
seb128would that be the right place to discuss removing the 'subscribe an owning team before the MIR is approved' requirement ?15:57
seb128we got desktop subscribed to flatpak as part of bug #181245615:58
ubottubug 1812456 in flatpak (Ubuntu) "[MIR] libflatpak0" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/181245615:58
seb128but now flatpak rls tagged bugs show up on our report despite the MIR not being approved nor moving since septembre15:58
seb128which is suboptimal15:58
dokohmm, who would then be supposed to care about this?  maybe we should delay that to next week when more people are here15:59
seb128I would suggest the team should be subscribed once the promotion is approved16:00
seb128get approved, subscribe, promote16:00
seb128seems a more logical order to me16:00
dokowhat's the current state? wait for security review16:02
seb128yes16:02
sarnoldI can see the frustration with no progress on the package, but seeing bugs filed while its being processed feels like a useful thing to me16:02
dokolet's wait for next week when Christian is here16:02
dokoand james16:02
seb128k, I will join again next week, thanks16:03
seb128sarnold, well, it's just that the MIR might be rejected or meanwhile there is no reason we should be on the hook to support a package which isn't in main16:03
dokooops, I think I forgot to close the meeting16:19
