[16:06] <rbasak> #subtopic Paolo Pisati (2023-04-03)
[16:06] <rbasak> ppisati: welcome! Would you like to introduce yourself?
[16:06] <rbasak> #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaoloPisati/DKMSUploadApplication
[16:06] <ppisati> yep
[16:07] <ppisati> Hi there, my name is Paolo and I've been a member of the Ubuntu kernel team since 2011
[16:07] <ppisati> my main focus is devel kernel / kernel packaging, and i mantain the kernel dev series
[16:08] <ppisati> I'm applying for dkms upload rights so i can (hopefully) speedup release of new kernels
[16:08] <ppisati> since often new kernels are blocked on DKMS FTBFS or various other DKMS failures
[16:09] <rbasak> Does anyone have questions for ppisati?
[16:09] <rbasak> I can start :)
[16:09] <rbasak> ppisati: do you know what the SRU team's opinion is of "Regression Potential: None" or similar?
[16:10] <ppisati> rbasak: yes, they don't like it! :)
[16:10] <ppisati> i think you picked that from one of my previous DKMS upload
[16:10] <rbasak> I looked for recent SRUs, and see bug 2002527 and bug 2002329 :)
[16:10] -ubottu:#ubuntu-meeting- Bug 2002527 in openafs (Ubuntu Jammy) "openafs-dkms fails to build with jammy/linux-hwe-5.19" [Undecided, Fix Released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2002527
[16:10] -ubottu:#ubuntu-meeting- Bug 2002329 in xtrx-dkms (Ubuntu Jammy) "xtrx-dkms fails to build with jammy/linux-hwe-5.19" [High, Fix Released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2002329
[16:11] <ppisati> that is actually part of the SRU template and should show where the update you are working on 'could go wrong'
[16:11] <rbasak> Bug 2002636 too.
[16:11] -ubottu:#ubuntu-meeting- Bug 2002636 in broadcom-sta (Ubuntu Kinetic) "broadcom-sta-dkms fails to build with jammy/linux-hwe-5.19" [Undecided, Fix Committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2002636
[16:11] <rbasak> Those are your most recent SRUs I think?
[16:12] <ppisati> rbasak: yep, somehow that list doesn't show all the SRUs i did in the past
[16:12] <rbasak> I'm looking at https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu-sponsorships.cgi?render=html&sponsor=&sponsor_search=name&sponsoree=Paolo+Pisati&sponsoree_search=name - is that more representative?
[16:12] <rbasak> https://launchpad.net/~p-pisati/+uploaded-packages only shows each package once I think.
[16:13] <rbasak> Maybe per package or per release or something like that. Anyway I find the sponsorship miner to be more comprehensive. Or do you think there are more yet that are missing?
[16:13] <ppisati> rbasak: yes, that looks more complete
[16:13] <ppisati> rbasak: the last url you posted looks good (please dont' ask me what i did in 2011...)
[16:14] <rbasak> Looking at your past few SRUs (most recent) from there, I feel that you're missing something in your communications with the SRU team. They keep needing to clarify things, and I don't think they generally include much of a regression analysis at all.
[16:15] <ppisati> rbasak: yes, i should improve that
[16:15] <rbasak> eg. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evdi/+bug/2002320/comments/2 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openafs/+bug/2002527/comments/3
[16:15] -ubottu:#ubuntu-meeting- Launchpad bug 2002320 in evdi (Ubuntu Jammy) "evdi-dkms fails to build with jammy/linux-hwe-5.19" [Undecided, Fix Released]
[16:15] -ubottu:#ubuntu-meeting- Launchpad bug 2002527 in openafs (Ubuntu Jammy) "openafs-dkms fails to build with jammy/linux-hwe-5.19" [Undecided, Fix Released]
[16:15] <rbasak> OK, let's move on
[16:16] <rbasak> ppisati: are there times when it might be inappropriate to upload DKMS fixes to the development release?
[16:16] <ppisati> rbasak: when we are in beta freeze or finale freeze, for example
[16:17] <ppisati> rbasak: but even feature freeze, upload should slow down, and only hot fixes for specific bugs are admitted
[16:17] <rbasak> Great.
[16:17] <rbasak> ppisati: what freeze applies to Lunar at the moment, and where can you find that information?
[16:18] <ppisati> rbasak: ATM we just left beta freeze and we are back to feature freeze, final freeze should be...
[16:18] <ppisati> https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lunar-lobster-release-schedule/27284
[16:18] <ppisati> April 13 ^
[16:18] <rbasak> Great, thanks!
[16:19] <ppisati> the release schedule tells you the state of the archive wrt uploads
[16:19] <rbasak> ppisati: to fix packages in the stable release, where is the process and policy documentation?
[16:20] <ppisati> rbasak: it's the SRU process -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
[16:22] <rbasak> Thanks! I have no more questions.
[16:22] <rbasak> Does anyone else have any questions for ppisati?
[16:24] <kanashiro[m]> ppisati: what could block your upload in proposed? What would you do to investigate that?
[16:25] <ppisati> kanashiro[m]: autopkgtests, i useually check the excuse page and then take it from there
[16:25] <ppisati> e.g. https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html
[16:26] <kanashiro[m]> is autopkgtest the only reason to get a package blocked?
[16:27] <ppisati> kanashiro[m]: uhm, no, it could depend on another package that is not installable
[16:28] <ppisati> it could be that the archive is frozen
[16:28] <ppisati> or the package violates one of the SRU rules
[16:29] <kanashiro[m]> ppisati: thanks for the answer! It could also be a installability issue in the package itself or a FTBFS
[16:30] <ppisati> kanashiro[m]: sure
[16:31] <kanashiro[m]> no more questions from me
[16:31] <rbasak> Anyone else?
[16:31] <rbasak> (thanks kanashiro[m]!)
[16:33] <rbasak> OK, let's vote.

[16:33] <rbasak> +1 you have an extensive track record of fixes to DKMS packages, sufficient Ubuntu development knowledge (likely a lot more!) and endorsements from relevant developers. I'd like to see more comprehensive regression analysis and test plans for your SRUs, but on balance I think Ubuntu would benefit more if you could upload these directly today.

[16:33] <rbasak> But please consider what you could do to reduce questions review iterations on your SRU uploads. I welcome conversations with the SRU team about that - especially discussions around anything you think we should change.
[16:34] <seb128> +1 seems a solid application for the requested packages, I would also like to see improvements on the SRU front as mentioned by Robie

[16:35] <teward> *sips coffee*
[16:36] <kanashiro[m]> +1. I see all the amount of work done during those several years and I do believe more people taking care of DKMS packages would benefit the project. I'd say you still need to improve your SRUs to avoid more work on the overloaded SRU team. Thanks for all your work and keep it up!
