[04:12] <yurtesen> I need a sponsor for a small fix on a package. I have made the debdiff. How do I find a sponsor?
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> thats not really what volunteers can offer you yurtesen 
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> this community volunteers with ubuntu support the best they can
[04:32] <yurtesen> lotuspsychje: what do you mean? aren't most of the sponsors also volunteers?
[05:05] <cpaelzer> good morning
[05:05] <cpaelzer> yurtesen: do you have a pointer to the bug with your debdiff?
[05:07] <cpaelzer> yurtesen: in general this channel is moer (but not exclusively) about ubuntu server discussions and support (see topic) and your request would fit more into #ubuntu-devel. But if complexity is low I can have a look (no matter on which channel I learn about it)
[05:35] <cpaelzer> paride: utkarsh2102: if one of you early party people have a minute, trivial change to get swtpm promoted https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+git/libvirt/+merge/418313
[05:37] <utkarsh2102> cpaelzer: of course!
[05:38] <utkarsh2102> cpaelzer: done!
[05:40] <cpaelzer> glad you didn't spot an issue in this trivial one (would be a bad start of the week) :-)
[05:40] <utkarsh2102> hahaha
[05:42] <utkarsh2102> cpaelzer: hang on a sec
[05:42] <cpaelzer> too late, but even more so tell me
[05:42] <utkarsh2102> yep
[05:43] <utkarsh2102> the bug is going to get auto-closed but I do not see a task for libvirt
[05:43] <utkarsh2102> is that intentional?
[05:43] <cpaelzer> utkarsh2102: yeah kind of, as the libvirt upload only serves as providing the dependency to promote it
[05:44] <cpaelzer> utkarsh2102: but I can add that, it makes sense as it will "gain" something by it
[05:44] <utkarsh2102> alright, as long as you're aware and it's taken care of
[05:44] <utkarsh2102> cpaelzer: yes, that'd actually help
[05:44] <cpaelzer> done
[05:44] <utkarsh2102> thank you!
[06:02] <paride> o/ morning, it's all done already it seems :)
[07:22] <mirespace> good morning
[07:24] <utkarsh2102> mirespace: o/
[07:25] <mirespace> utkarsh2102: o/
[12:06] <athos> good morning :)
[12:07] <utkarsh2102> athos: o/
[12:07] <utkarsh2102> athos: how'd your experimenting with vim over the weekend go? :)
[12:08] <athos> :p
[12:08] <utkarsh2102> ooh wait, you replied, which I missed! :(
[12:08] <athos> haha
[12:09] <utkarsh2102> yurtesen: please tell me your package and debdiff? 
[12:10] <utkarsh2102> I'll be happy to sponsor it if it's in universe. If it's in main, we need to contact the team behind it. 
[12:32] <rbasak> utkarsh2102: I think it's https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat9/+bug/1964881
[12:32] <rbasak> Please review if you have the time!
[12:44] <yurtesen> utkarsh2102: thanks, it is #1964881.  rbasak also offered looking at it in #ubuntu-motu channel.
[12:47] <rbasak> I did, but I don't think I'll get to it for a few days. If utkarsh2102 could do it then that'd be great.
[12:47] <rbasak> FWIW, part of the reason is that I've already been reviewing something else for a new contributor that is quite involved.
[13:06] <utkarsh2102> Alright, let me take a look at it, this week 
[13:11] <Odd_Bloke> Hey folks, I'm trying to backport a package from jammy to focal: I've used `backportpackage` to create a source package, and now I'm trying to `sbuild` it.  It requires debhelper 13, so I'm trying to use backports, but the build fails: sbuild --dist=focal task_2.6.1+dfsg-1\~ubuntu20.04.1.dsc --extra-repository "deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-backports main restricted universe
[13:12] <Odd_Bloke> multiverse"
[13:12] <Odd_Bloke> (The failure is "The following packages have unmet dependencies: sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy : Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13)")
[13:16] <utkarsh2102> Odd_Bloke: hey, you need to lower the dh-compat prefer. 
[13:16] <utkarsh2102> to probably 11 or 12 (whatever it was in Focal)
[13:16] <Odd_Bloke> utkarsh2102: Doesn't -backports have the newer debhelper version, though?
[13:17] <utkarsh2102> s/prefer./level/
[13:17] <utkarsh2102> Odd_Bloke: I don't think so, I'll need to check. 
[13:17] <utkarsh2102> did you check? Could you see it?
[13:18] <Odd_Bloke>  debhelper | 13.5.2ubuntu1~bpo20.04.1 | focal-backports | source, all
[13:20] <Odd_Bloke> Hmm, I suspect that pinning might be the issue here?
[13:25] <Odd_Bloke> Yeah, adding a --chroot-setup-command to write 'Pin-Priority: 500' preferences file for backports gets the build started.
[13:26] <utkarsh2102> sweet! 
[14:04] <ddstreet> utkarsh2102 Odd_Bloke https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[14:04] <ddstreet> backports aren't used by default
[14:06] <utkarsh2102> ddstreet: aaah, fair, thanks!
[14:06] <utkarsh2102> pretty different from Debian (:
[14:06] <Odd_Bloke> ddstreet: Thanks!
[14:08] <Odd_Bloke> I wound up on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports when searching around
[14:11] <Odd_Bloke> So I passed `--chroot-setup-command 'cat << EOF > /etc/apt/preferences.d/test.pref` (followed by a prefereces file and EOF), is there a better way I'm missing of building with backports?
[14:13] <ddstreet> yeah, sbuild and autopkgtest are kinda difficult to use backports with unfortunately, i don't have a good recommendation for how to enable backports there, your approach is probably as good as any other
[14:13] <ddstreet> you can set a PPA to use backports by default, so that makes it a bit easier, though using a PPA has downsides too like how long it takes to build
[14:14] <ddstreet> honestly, i don't use sbuild at all
[14:14] <ddstreet> i just use dpkg-buildpackage in a dedicated vm or container
[14:14] <Odd_Bloke> Yeah, I guess if I was expecting to do this regularly I could set up a separate schroot with backports already configured.
[14:14] <ddstreet> yep that's probably the best approach
[14:16] <Odd_Bloke> mk-sbuild has `--skip-updates` and `--skip-proposed`, I wonder if it could grow `--add-backports` or something similar.
[14:17] <Odd_Bloke> Anyway, I'm unblocked; thanks folks!
[16:24] <ahasenack> cpaelzer: if you are still around, do you know if a qemu live migration involves at some step a sigstop/cont on the vm? I'm thinking about the last stage, when the bulk of the data was transferred already with the vm running, but since it was running, some data wasn't sent yet. Is the vm suspended/paused then for this last transfer? And if yes, is it a sigstop/cont, or something more complicated?
[19:12] <bryceh> athos, congrats on MOTU!
[19:13] <bryceh> athos, btw if there are php (or other universe) packages you plan to work on that aren't already in git-ubuntu, just ping me.  I have scripts to add stuff that are easy to run, they just take some time (~hrs) to fully process.
[19:55] <athos> thanks, bryceh !!!
[19:56] <athos> ack!!
