RAOFmwhudson: Which archives? As far as I'm aware the ACL is “if you can upload, you can retry”00:12
mwhudsonRAOF: this build, for example https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-rebuild-20210805-impish/+build/2194610200:12
mwhudsoni guess i don't know how copy archives work00:13
mwhudson(it's actually too soon to retry these builds, i'm just trying to be prepared)00:13
RAOFHeh. Neither do I!00:14
RAOFIt might just be d oko.00:14
RAOFI don't have permission to, for example.00:15
mwhudson        # Flatly refuse uploads to copy archives, at least for now.00:21
mwhudson        if self.is_copy:00:21
mwhudson            return False00:21
mwhudsonso maybe it's not possible00:22

egorenarhi all, i would like an advice ho to better extend initramfs-tools scripts/hooks for building a custom initramfs image. The problem i'm facing is that i need to set MODULES to dep. And my current solution is creating a custom config within /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/ and setting it conditionally depending whether a particular shell variable is set or not. If it set then i override MODULES with dep. Do you see a problem with07:58
egorenarthat ? Is there a better way ? Thanks you very much.07:58

IOhannesi'm a Debian Developer and one of my packages (src:puredata) has a bug in focal. i wonder: how can i push a fix to focal-updates?10:18
IOhannes(in Debian, the bug never made it into stable; and groovy has the fixed package, but people like to stick to LTS...)10:20
rbasakIOhannes: thank you for caring for your package in Ubuntu! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates has all the details. Please ask if you need any help with it.10:23
IOhannesrbasak: thanks.10:31
IOhannesi just checked (in a docker-container of focal), and it seems a simple rebuild of the package is sufficient to fix the issue, so i don't need an actual code change.10:35
rbasakIOhannes: we only do sourceful rebuilds in Ubuntu, so it'll still need to follow the same process please. The only source change would be a new debian/changelog entry in the rebuild-only case.10:47
rbasakIOhannes: I wouldn't trust Docker for testing though. It strips so much of the OS out, it can't be used to test the OS itself.10:48
rbasakIOhannes: a lxd container or VM would be more suitable10:48
GunnarHjHi sil2100, Is it intentional that the language packs are not updated regularly in impish, or is it some issue? The question was brought up at bug #1939206.10:59
ubottuBug 1939206 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "Missing translations" [Undecided, Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/193920610:59
IOhannesrbasak: ack. i decided to boot up a VM anyhow, in order to be able to use ubuntu-bug (obviously /me is not very familiar with the specifics of Ubuntu)11:11
sil2100GunnarHj: hey! hm, let me check that12:11
IOhannesrbasak: ok i think i did everything required via https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193929312:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1939293 in puredata (Ubuntu) "unable to load externals: undefined symbol '__pow_finite' and similar" [Undecided, New]12:33
IOhannestell me if i missed something.12:33
rbasakIOhannes: looks good, thanks. The version string should be 0.50.2-3ubuntu0.1 but I can fix that for you on upload. Could you check that it's been fixed in a newer Ubuntu release please - preferably Impish - and note that in the bug?12:37
IOhannesrbasak: thanks. i've now added a note about Impish (namely: it works!)12:45
rbasakIOhannes: sponsored, thanks!12:50
rbasakIOhannes: I added one other minor change I missed before:12:50
rbasak-Maintainer: Debian Multimedia Maintainers <debian-multimedia@lists.debian.org>12:50
rbasak+Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>12:50
rbasak+XSBC-Original-Maintainer: Debian Multimedia Maintainers <debian-multimedia@lists.debian.org>12:50
rbasakThat's because of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField and implemented in a tool called "update-maintainer" that I ran.12:50
IOhannesthanks. i guess there is no central page that would explain/mention all those little details (maintainer-field, correct version,...) (?)12:52
IOhannesbut: given that you sponsored, am i correct that you do not require me to change these things and upload a new debdiff?12:53
rbasakI'm sorry that the documentation on all of this is quite poor.12:53
rbasakThe SRU documentation page links to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update_the_packaging on the package version string, but it's buried in there.12:54
rbasakOn update-maintainer, if using Ubuntu, then dpkg-buildpackage will complain about it if it is not done.12:54
rbasakNo need to upload a new debdiff - I just modified it locally as it's not a subjective change so nothing that needed confirming with you.12:54
rbasakIt's awaiting review from the SRU team now.12:55
IOhannescool.12:55
rbasakThat usually takes a few days. Then a request for verification will be posted in the bug with further instructions.12:55
rbasakThank you again for caring for your package in Ubuntu!12:55
IOhannesfine. i'm subscribed :-)12:55
IOhannes(i would never have looked at the SecurityTeam wiki-page for this ,-))12:55
rbasakYeah it's not at all obvious.12:56
rbasakThey documented a scheme that works well. We should move it into the SRU documentation page really as a general recommendation.12:56
sil2100GunnarHj: hey! So I took a look at the langpack situation13:00
sil2100GunnarHj: so it seems l-o-m got stuck some while ago, there's a weird mechanism that when something goes really wrong, the updated-packages list stays populated with packages and no new langpacks are uploaded to the archive13:02
sil2100And when I was spinning the focal langpacks I did indeed notice that the updated-packages was not empty, but I cleared it out since I needed to do that for the focal packages13:02
sil2100This seems to have unblocked the impish translations13:03
sil2100So, it seems we have the new langpacks now migrated and they should migrate always13:03
sil2100I wonder if we should set some alert mechanism when this happens, some e-mail notification? I'll write that up in my TODO13:03
GunnarHjsil2100: Excellent, thanks! Right, an alert email would be useful.14:54
