amurrayhey - so I've been a member of the Ubuntu Security team for the past 3 years, working on security updates plus merges and other bits here and there14:05
amurray(new versions of apparmor, SRUs of libseccomp etc as within the security teams purview)14:06
amurrayplus various features like the adduser/shadow changes for private home dirs in 21.04 etc14:06
sil2100Ok, thanks! Let's move to questions14:07
tewardme first14:07
sil2100We can always ask questions simultaneously, so everyone feel free to send your questions o/14:08
tewardamurray: I noticed a *large* portion of your contributions are targeted to -security (and -updates accordingly), which are processed through the Security team PPA and not direct uploads.  Comparatively, you have a *very* small number of uploads that needed sponsored otherwise.  I also see limited work on test hinting, unblocking proposed, seeds, lib transitions, etc. - all skills we expect CoreDev to know/understand.14:09
tewardWhy do you specifically want Core Dev, in your own words, and how would it benefit you, as the vast majority of your contribs seem to pass via the Security PPA instead (which has different processes)?14:10
tewardAlso, have you given any thought towards looking at the other items I mentioned (which cpaelzer has mentioned as well in one of the areas you should improve in)14:10
rafaeldtinoco(Also considering you are applying because, in your words, you want to eliminate delays and reduce burden to sponsors)14:10
sil2100amurray: can you give us an example of some proposed-migration work you have been doing with either your upload or an upload from someone else? What does 'proposed-migration' mean and what things there need attention?14:10
amurrayteward: sure, so for myself - as an example - when doing the recent libseccomp SRUs, these trigger a heap of other autopkgtests which are often flaky and either take a number of retriggers to get them to pass OR hints - so it was often quite time consuming to have to ask and chase up others just to retrigger these along the way14:11
amurrayalso as part of the security team, for most updates via -security for the stable releases there is usually a corresponding update for devel - it would be quite beneficial to have someone else on our team who can sponsor these on behalf of others since at the moment there is only one of us who is coredev14:13
amurraysil2100: proposed-migration is the process for packages to migrate from proposed to release/-updates depending on whether is devel or a stable release - my understanding is this involves resolving any failing autopkgtests for the package OR packages which depend on it and hence get triggered by it - and also any bugs which are tagged as blocking - so say for SRUs this would be doing testing and marking as ver14:15
amurrayattention to all these things (failing tests, blocker bugs)14:15
tewardamurray: message cutoff @ "so say for SRUs this would be doing testing and marking as ver..."14:15
tewardthanks for answering my question.14:16
sil2100amurray: do you know if there's any other type of 'testing' that's performed on the packages when they're in -proposed for the devel series? Can a package be blocked in -proposed without any 'blocker' bugs and test failures?14:21
ddstreetfyi all, amurray just pinged me to say his internet connection died, he's trying to reconnect with phone tethering14:22
sil2100Oh crap14:22
amurraysorry folks I just had an internet outage - sorry if I missed anything - I see a q from sil2100 re other types of testing for proposed14:23
sil2100Yes, I don't think there was any other new questions so far14:23
sil2100Can you answer that follow up question of mine?14:23
rafaeldtinoco11:21 AM <sil2100> amurray: do you know if there's any other type of 'testing' that's performed on the packages when they're in -proposed for the devel series? Can a package be blocked in -proposed without any 'blocker' bugs and test failures?14:23
rafaeldtinocoif you lost it14:23
amurraysil2100: hmm I know there's also component-mismatches so that if say a new dependency was needed for a package in main and the dependency was in universe that may block it14:24
sil2100Yes, there's that as well for instance14:25
tewardamurray: you also had a message cutoff earlier14:25
tewardin your reply to sil: > and also any bugs which are tagged as blocking - so say for SRUs this would be doing testing and marking as ver...14:25
tewardso wasn't sure if you need to finish that statement :)14:25
amurrayso say for this would be doing testing and marking as verified etc - so need to pay attention to all these things (failing tests, blocker bugs)14:26
amurrayteward: did you get my response re hints-ubuntu and library transitions etc?14:27
tewardyep14:27
tewardum... wait.14:27
teward*checks*14:27
* sil2100 has no more questions14:27
tewardi got the one about the SRUs and autopkgtests and the note about only one on Security having coredev14:27
tewardbut not the hints, transitions part.14:27
tewardthink your net exploded right then ;)14:27
amurrayteward: sorry I realised I missed part of your question - so I have been trying to look at getting more exposure to these other parts, for example I more recently made my first contribution to hints-ubuntu14:28
amurrayI haven't done any library transitions though nor had the opportunity to have to get my hands dirty with seeds yet but I would not shy away from the challenges14:28
* rafaeldtinoco starting parallel meeting in 2 min (but will be able to vote on highlight)14:28
* rafaeldtinoco no questions from me14:28
tewardamurray: thanks for your response.14:28
tewardno more questions from me.14:28
amurray(but if I had to dive into these things I would be sure to reach out to others to get guidance)14:28
sil2100Any other questions from remaining members?14:28
ddstreetno q from me14:28

tewardrafaeldtinoco: ^^14:30
ddstreet+1 good endorsements, and very good technical work from what i've seen14:31
meetingology+1 good endorsements, and very good technical work from what i've seen received from ddstreet14:31
rafaeldtinoco+1 with the concern of having more contributions from amurray in core parts of being a core dev (specially unblocking migrations). I like the approach of having more sponsors in security team and the test retries.14:31
