slyonllvm-toolchain-13 vs z3 should be resolved by: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/z3/+bug/1971128 (but I suppose it needs to pass proposed-migration first)14:31

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1975523 in ruby-webrick (Ubuntu Kinetic) "[MIR] Promote to main in Jammy and Kinetic" [Undecided, New]14:32
cpaelzerand joalif already reviewed that one14:32
cpaelzerpython-charset-normalizer is being worked on as well (no bug)14:33
cpaelzertiff -> lerc is new to me14:33
cpaelzerjamespage: you wanted to look after jaraco IIRC - any news ?14:33
cpaelzerdidrocks: tiff -> lerc sounds desktoppy, do you know what this is about?14:34
didrocksno, but I can have a look at it14:34
cpaelzerhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tiff/4.4.0-214:34
cpaelzersounds intentional14:34
cpaelzerand yes tiff is desktop14:35
cpaelzerthanks didrocks for having a look14:35
didrocks(I think people should realize that I’m doing very little pure distro work nowdays and thus, I can’t follow GNOME/desktop changes)14:35
cpaelzerthat is fine, but you still know the people best14:35
didrocksyep :) will track it14:35
cpaelzerit is similar for me and server packaging TBH14:35
cpaelzerI see nothing else worth to discuss in mismatches14:35
cpaelzerat lesat nothing we need to act on14:36
sarnoldhmmm, in the debian bug, "The problem is that LERC does not supports BE upstream."14:36
cpaelzergoing on unless someone objects14:36

cpaelzer\o/14:36
cpaelzerwe have had enough last week that I'm not complaining14:37
didrocksafter last week spam, that helps :)14:37
cpaelzerbtw great job by all of you for doing so many reviews quick14:37

cpaelzermost recent updates are tags but nothing important14:38
cpaelzerone is different IMHO14:38
cpaelzerhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libldac/+bug/197378414:38
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1973784 in libldac (Ubuntu) "[MIR] libldac" [Undecided, Incomplete]14:38
cpaelzerthis might lead to the next topic and your MR - slyon do you think this needs an PR to change the wording?14:39
slyonyes, there was some discussion wrt out "seeded-in-ubuntu" (and some question about superficial testing)14:39
cpaelzerI think I have answered them, the open question is - do we want to update the wording in the template?14:39
slyonI'm still not yet super clear about the seeded-in-ubuntu case, as what has been described in cpaelzer's comment matches the "check-mir" test IMO14:39
slyonseeded-in-ubuntu seems to be more about a change of component (universe->main) during freeze, as that would require a re-spin of installation images?14:40
slyon(at least that is according to its manpage)14:40
cpaelzerslyon: it is just one more check that would flag things that are in main14:41
cpaelzeryou could iterate over dependencies of a new MIR pkg and see if they are all seeded14:41
cpaelzersome people (not me) preferred that way14:41
cpaelzerwhich is how the statement got in14:42
slyonaha! now I get it14:42
slyonyes we should improve the wording14:42
cpaelzerthis list is "use either of these or any else if you like"14:42
cpaelzerhow about going to the next section then, while we talk about wording14:42
slyonyes14:42
cpaelzerfirst security14:43
cpaelzer#topic MIR related Security Review Queue14:43
cpaelzerMission: Check on progress, do deadlines seem doable?14:43
cpaelzer#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/+bugs?field.searchtext=%5BMIR%5D&assignee_option=choose&field.assignee=ubuntu-security&field.bug_reporter=&field.bug_commenter=&field.subscriber=ubuntu-mir14:43
cpaelzersarnold: how does the cycle look, we are starting to pile up a queue again14:43
cpaelzersarnold: is this time progress expected sooner than FeatureFreeze :-)14:43
sarnoldI didn't make progress last week, I was on cve triage; and yesterday was a national holiday :) -- so no real 'local' progress to report14:44
sarnoldcpaelzer: very much so :)14:44
cpaelzeranyone but you on those reviews ?14:44
sarnoldamurray did one last week, but I don't think there's currently anyone else working a mir14:44
sarnoldwe've got a team meeting today, I'll fish around for more volunteers :)14:44
cpaelzerinstead of exploding late, could you ask for anyone else to assist you in this phase of the cycle please?14:45
sarnoldyup14:45
cpaelzerthanks14:45
cpaelzerWFM14:45
cpaelzer#topic Any other business?14:45
cpaelzerwe have 1.5 topics here14:45
cpaelzerfirst the discussion from above14:45
cpaelzerwhich we haven't a PR yet, slyon do you want to prep a PR matching your newfound understanding until next week?14:46
slyonNow that I got it, I can prepare a proposal to change the wording on this one14:46
cpaelzeror should we try to come up with wording right here right now?14:46
cpaelzerok, we are not in a hurry - looking forward to that PR then14:46
slyonI'll do it for next meeting14:46
cpaelzerbut for today we have14:46
cpaelzerhttps://github.com/cpaelzer/ubuntu-mir/pull/10/files14:46
ubottuPull 10 in cpaelzer/ubuntu-mir "mention update of d/control when a Ubuntu delta was introduced" [Open]14:46
cpaelzerThis is (I guess) inspired by a forgotten update-maintainer14:46
slyonThis one ^ came up in a discussion with seb this morning. I think it makes sense to have it as a MIR check, too. It is already enforced (in most cases) by dpkg14:47
didrocksunsure if this will really help in practice TBH, but could still be added14:47
cpaelzerTo me I think this is a fine change, it should almost never be a real problem. But it would be a potential legal issue if it is forgotten14:47
didrocksThere are a lot of examples of sync, then adding a change, then sync, and so on14:47
didrocksand people who don’t use their @ubuntu.com or @canonical.com won’t have the warning when building the source package14:47
cpaelzerbuildpkg already warns people14:47
cpaelzerbut I think it does not consume any more time (we look at d/control anyway)14:48
cpaelzerand therefore should be fine to add14:48
didrocksyeah, I just wanted to state that I’m unsure how effective this will be in practice, but I have nothing against it14:48
slyondidrocks: yes, this was the case for seb, too. Therefore, we thought it would make sense to add it to the MIR template14:48
cpaelzerI agree to didrocks that I'm unsure if it would help14:48
didrocksI think people should use their @ubuntu/canonical when preparing a package for ubuntu14:48
slyonit doesn't need to be a blocking change for MIR. but we try to keep packages in main in good shape14:48
sarnolddo we have any tooling to enforce / notice when version numbers don't clearly indicate a delta from debian?14:48
cpaelzerI'm tempted to suggest "only add the reporter rule, but not the MIR review statement"14:49
slyonWFM14:49
cpaelzerthere (at the reporter) is where this could have a benefit by re-assuring the awareness for this14:49
didrockswfm as well14:49
sarnoldthe recent 'maysync' discussion makes me wonder how often, if ever, someone accidentally uploads a package with a delta that isn't visible by version string alone14:49
cpaelzeron the review stage it won't help much - as didrocks said there are sync/upload/sync/upload casess and mcuh more where the one time of the review won't help much14:50
sarnold(I'm mentioning it here mainly because 'discovering if there is a delta' to me means going to the patches.ubuntu.com website..)14:50
slyonsarnold: it's less about the version string, than about the "Maintainer" field in d/control.14:50
cpaelzerTL;DR: about what update-maintainers does14:50
didrockssarnold: IIRC, the "no warning" for non ubuntu emails was for 2 cases: per package upload rights in the archive and native from upstream14:51
cpaelzerIt seems we have no strong objections, but also not much trust in the benefit. Can we vote on my suggestion of only adding the reporter section of the PR please ?14:51
cpaelzer+1 (obviously)14:51
slyon+114:51
didrocks+114:51
sarnoldis that the first hunk or second hunk? :)14:52
slyonfirst14:52
cpaelzerfirst14:52
sarnold+1  :) thanks14:52
cpaelzerwe already have reached qorum but joalif?14:52
cpaelzerand jamespage14:53
cpaelzergiving you 30 more sec to object :-)14:53
joalifsorry I'm at other mtg at same time14:53
slyonis anybody still signed-in to wiki.ubuntu.com and could update that hunk? Otherwise I guess we're blocked on IS to fix the wiki14:53
* didrocks tries14:53
joalif+114:53
cpaelzerI can slyon14:53
didrocksnot signed in, keep your token close to you cpaelzer :)14:54
sarnoldlol14:54
cpaelzerI was going through that pain two weeks ago14:54
cpaelzerthat is how I have a fresh and shiny token14:54
slyoncpaelzer: do you want me to update the MR or will you just copy paste the first hunk only?14:54
didrockshaha14:54
cpaelzerI have merged the MR (the git isn#t totally in sync anyway)14:55
cpaelzerand updated the wiki14:55
slyonthanks14:55
cpaelzerI'll update git now after the meeting14:55
cpaelzerfor you to rebase next weeks change14:55
slyonk14:55
cpaelzerand that seems to wrap up today meeting14:55
didrocksI have a topic to bring14:55
didrockssorry if you wanted to leave early :p14:55
cpaelzerany last thing we forgot14:55
cpaelzerah14:55
didrocksabout libsoup314:55
cpaelzerno didrocks, please go14:55

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1972153 in libsoup3 (Ubuntu) "[MIR] libsoup3" [Undecided, Confirmed]14:55
didrocksso, it’s a soname bump14:55
didrocksbut a security sensitive lib, obviously14:56
didrocksI don’t think we should plan on GNOME updating all dependencies in one release14:56
didrocksand head for the worst scenario14:56
didrocks(one or two releases with both v2 and v3)14:56
sarnoldgetting as much done in lts+1 seems like a good idea14:56
didrocksunsure how security is feeling about it?14:56
didrocksdoubling your pain, basically for a couple of ubuntu releases :p14:56
sarnoldbut I am concerned about The Project losing steam before the next LTS and leaving us with too many webkits14:56
cpaelzerwe have had prior cases where alternatives were kept around for a bit14:56
cpaelzerwould never be ok to go into an LTS14:57
didrocksyeah, it seems we have time ahead of us14:57
cpaelzerthe question is how sure we are that it will be gone in 23.04 then?14:57
didrocksbut unsure how much this can sleep away14:57
didrocksand how could we track that before LTS14:57
didrocksexactly14:57
didrocksso… I wanted to gather other opinions, in particular from sarnold :)14:58
cpaelzerslyon: git updated14:59
slyonthank you14:59
sarnoldI'm fine with a bit of duplication early in the overall lts cycle, but the consequences of not finishing the transition before the next lts does make me wonder how exactly we'd back out of the situation -- demote the 'old' packages? demote the 'new' packages? hustle and finish it?14:59
sarnold.. be clear at roadmap sprints that Brand New Features can't be added until our old unloved features are removed? :)14:59
didrocksthat would be great :)15:00
sarnoldI really hope the optimistic view prevails15:00
didrocksyeah, I think we are really early in the LTS meta-cycles15:00
sarnoldbut the job is all about pessimism, isn't it? :)15:00
didrocksso I’m hopeful15:00
sarnoldthanks for raising it and getting started on it early15:00
didrocksbut we don’t have a good way of tracking this15:00
didrocksso, let’s +1 for now with the concerns written down in the MIR15:00
didrocksensuring this is tracked somewhere for the desktop team15:01
didrockssounds good to you?15:01
sarnoldperhaps a cronjob on your local machine that runs apt purge oldwebkitpackage  ? :) every week an email of what's left..15:01
sarnoldyeah that works well for me, thanks15:01
didrockswe can upload a package that does it before next LTS :p15:01
didrocksthanks for the feedback!15:02
didrocksI’ll sum that up/copy the verbatim on the bug15:02
sarnoldah great, thanks15:02
