16:02:55 <fabo> skaet: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2012-March/000935.html
16:03:03 <skaet> thanks fabo.   :)
16:03:25 <fabo> xubuntu: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2012-March/000937.html
16:03:38 <skaet> I'll start it off with first question,  anyone have questions about the format for this week?
16:03:47 * dbarth waves
16:04:12 <pitti> shoudl be quite a bit faster this way
16:04:19 <pitti> and also encourages people to send detailled reports in time
16:04:32 <skaet> :)  am hoping so.
16:04:39 <skaet> ..
16:04:41 <pitti> o/
16:04:43 <cjwatson> o/
16:04:44 <skaet> go pitti
16:04:59 <pitti> does anyone know the status of packaging the lightdm greeter? micahg, gilir?
16:05:21 <Riddell> working great here, we are using it in kubuntu active
16:05:26 <gilir> pitti, I know micahg was working on it, no news since some days
16:05:27 <Riddell> presumably you mean a gtk greeter
16:05:55 <pitti> yes, lightdm-gtk-greeter
16:06:01 <pitti> it's been NBS for months now
16:06:09 <pitti> or one month -- at least way longer than it ought to be
16:06:17 <gilir> pitti, he's busy, I can finish the work next week
16:06:19 <cjwatson> right, that's been bothering me too
16:06:23 <gilir> (if he is busy)
16:06:44 <gilir> just need to know if he is close to upload :)
16:06:50 <pitti> ..
16:06:52 <skaet> o/ (me queueing up for after cjwatson ;) )
16:06:57 <skaet> cjwatson go..
16:07:05 <Riddell> o/
16:07:11 <Daviey> o/
16:07:24 <gilir> ..
16:07:30 <cjwatson> Riddell: could somebody from Kubuntu have a look at Steve's proposed fix for bug 901638 and make sure it actually works?  we'd like to clear this bug out of the way
16:07:33 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 901638 in soprano (Ubuntu Precise) "Remove iodbc2 (causes upgrade failure from Oneiric to Precise)" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/901638
16:07:33 <cjwatson> ..
16:07:33 <pitti> . o O { meeting bot should have a #next function }
16:08:00 <Riddell> cjwatson: can do, probably not today though but monday sure
16:08:11 <cjwatson> great, thank you
16:08:28 * skaet thinks that #next would be useful here too... hmmm
16:08:55 <skaet> .. ?
16:09:00 <cjwatson> yes
16:09:06 <skaet> pitti,  in Cimi's update, there are some features he's asking if a FFe is needed for,  some of them strike me as cleanup/logical extensions of an approved feature - what do you think?
16:09:06 <skaet> * GMenuModel support in HUD/Appmenus
16:09:06 <skaet> - https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/924007
16:09:06 <skaet> * Improved support for XUL applications
16:09:06 <skaet> - https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/921231
16:09:09 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 924007 in Application Menu Indicator "Add GMenuModel support to HUD" [High,Fix committed]
16:09:10 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 921231 in Application Menu Indicator "XUL Applications don't show up in HUD" [High,Confirmed]
16:09:32 <skaet> ..
16:09:36 <pitti> skaet: will look at the bugs and answer there, to do this async
16:09:39 <pitti> ..
16:09:44 <Cimi> hx
16:09:44 <skaet> thanks pitti.
16:09:46 <skaet> ..
16:09:48 <pitti> neither of them are FFEs
16:09:51 <skaet> Riddell go
16:09:59 <Riddell> actually just a statement
16:10:05 <Riddell> I have a pandboard that works now..
16:10:13 <ogra_> \o/
16:10:13 <skaet> \o/  :)
16:10:15 <Riddell> but it only works on oneiric, precise images don't work
16:10:25 <Riddell> so more debugging needed with ogra_ and his friends :)
16:10:34 <ogra_> :)
16:10:39 <ogra_> you know where to find me
16:10:40 <Riddell> oh I had another question
16:10:41 <ogra_> ..
16:10:51 <Riddell> how was Beta 1 for everyone?
16:11:34 <stgraber> pretty good, besides the manual partitioning exploding because of gtk/atk/... it seems to have worked quite nicely (from an Ubuntu and Edubuntu point of view)
16:11:37 <stgraber> ..
16:12:31 <skaet> Mythbuntu got hit with the API change that lubuntu worked around.  :(
16:12:31 <Riddell> groovy, appologies to those flavours I randomly deleted packages from, thanks to micahg and others for fixing that
16:12:34 <pitti> Riddell: you did a fine job keeping up with the steps and all the images
16:12:58 <skaet> Riddell,   +1  - thanks for all your help last week.  :)
16:13:41 <Riddell> ..
16:13:56 <skaet> o/
16:13:58 <skaet> Daviey go
16:14:04 <Daviey> Hey!
16:14:14 <Daviey> I'd like to consider bug 950936
16:14:16 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 950936 in qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) "[FFe] Expose VMX through default CPU type, if host CPU supports it, to support nested virt on Intel" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/950936
16:14:28 <Daviey> i'd like hallyn's input, but wondered if anyone else was nervous about it
16:14:53 <skaet> Daviey, yeah, I fall into the camp of a bit nervous.
16:15:47 <Daviey> EOM
16:15:52 <Daviey> ..
16:16:12 <skaet> would need to know more info though.  seems an area for suprises - what sort of testing has been done on it already?
16:16:15 <skaet> ..
16:16:28 <stgraber> it's not going to break anything by default at least and it sounds a bit weird turning on nesting in kvm and not exposing the flag to the guests
16:16:44 <stgraber> (as in, kvm simply doesn't work in VMs on intel at the moment, so can't go a lot worse)
16:16:47 <stgraber> ..
16:16:50 <Daviey> stgraber: right, upstream has it enabled for SVM, but not VMX
16:17:02 <Daviey> stgraber: it doesn't?!
16:17:05 <skaet> stgraber, heh,  didn't realize that.
16:17:16 <Daviey> oh, kvm you mean
16:17:17 <Daviey> right
16:17:40 <Daviey> i'll hold off for hallyn's input.. but just wanted it known, i was considering it
16:17:50 * skaet nods
16:18:04 <skaet> .. ?
16:18:12 <Daviey> ..
16:18:18 <skaet> dbarth: when will unity 5.8 and unity-2d 5.8 be landing (not seeing in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/ReleaseSchedule)?   any other updates before beta 2 freeze anticipated?
16:19:02 <Cimi> skaet, unity 22th march
16:19:16 <arosales> o/
16:19:20 <Cimi> not sure of unity-2d, guess the same date or before
16:19:54 <skaet> Cimi, do you have projected dates for the rest of your FFe/UIFe's landing?
16:20:20 <Cimi> skaet, FFe:
16:20:28 <Cimi> 1) LIM maybe not landing
16:20:42 <Cimi> 2) overlay scrollbars code done - waiting reviews
16:21:04 <dbarth> skaet: not planned yet sorry, i estimate after the beta freeze, otherwise we'll be too short for another round of testing
16:21:06 <Cimi> 3) utouch work I guess will be proposed next week
16:21:30 <dbarth> skaet: there's no more feature dev. or important changes, it's really about nailing the high and criticals down
16:21:34 <Cimi> potential UIFe but I just have heard of it, need to double check
16:22:00 <skaet> thanks Cimi.
16:22:09 <Cimi> skaet, we're doing weekly releases for the rest of the projects
16:22:18 <Cimi> skaet, releasing bugfixes
16:22:24 <Cimi> and only them
16:22:37 <skaet> thanks Cimi (and appreciate the bug fixes.  ;) )
16:22:54 <Cimi> you have to thanks engineers :-)
16:23:07 <skaet> :)
16:23:34 <skaet> thanks dbarth.   Ok,  will keep an eye on that ReleaseSchedule - please ping me offline if something changes.
16:23:44 <skaet> ..
16:23:51 <skaet> arosales go
16:23:54 * arosales is a bit new to the MIR and release process, apologies.
16:23:58 <arosales> Is 64 MIR requests (https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mir_ normal for this point in the release?
16:24:01 <arosales> ..
16:24:14 <Daviey> heh.
16:24:26 <dbarth> skaet: actually for the 22 (checked with didrocks); will update the schedule accordingly
16:24:27 <Daviey> There are still more to come, i fear.
16:24:31 <skaet> cjwatson, pitti, ^ care to give some historical perspective.
16:24:37 <skaet> ?
16:25:13 <Daviey> Many of the are blocked on security review, they are rightly overwhelmed.  Not much we can do about that.
16:25:22 <Daviey> jdstrand's team are working as hard as they can.
16:25:34 <pitti> historically we didn't use to have that many after FF
16:25:41 <pitti> but 64 is a bit absurd indeed
16:25:49 <stgraber> quite a few seem to cover multiple packages, some others are for baltix and shouldn't appear in the list at all, still a pretty long list though
16:25:52 <pitti> many of them are quite old, though
16:25:52 <stgraber> ..
16:26:00 <arosales> Daviey: +1 on jdstrand's team working as hard as they can.
16:26:05 <Daviey> The lion share is server :(
16:26:20 <Daviey> Many of our requirements landed rather late this cycle.
16:26:25 <pitti> and e. g. bug 932833 has a dozen tasks alone
16:26:27 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 932833 in ktp-auth-handler (Ubuntu) "[MIR] telepathy-kde" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/932833
16:26:38 <Daviey> One, jdstrand's team did.. for a whole new upstream rewrite to happen, which invalidated it
16:28:01 <Daviey> jdstrand has been cracking them out tho, starting yesterday :)
16:28:28 <mdeslaur> jdstrand is *awesome* :)
16:28:38 <skaet> +1 :)
16:28:53 <jdstrand> wow, my hilight is on fire :)
16:28:58 * jdstrand is trying
16:29:10 <arosales> keep rocking it jdstrand
16:29:17 <jdstrand> thanks :)
16:29:39 <skaet> .. ? arosales
16:29:52 <arosales> Thanks for the background information
16:29:53 <arosales> ..
16:30:20 * skaet not seeing any queued up questions, so going ahead and asking another of hers
16:30:33 <ScottK> \o
16:30:59 <skaet> tumbleweed or Laney - how go the universe FTBFS?
16:31:18 <skaet> ..
16:31:36 <skaet> hmm.. may not be around
16:31:39 <skaet> go ScottK
16:31:45 <ScottK> There's more than a fair number of removal and component move bugs queued up on https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive.  Could someone with powerz have a look?
16:32:10 <stgraber> ScottK: +1
16:32:41 <ScottK> Also there's an FFe pending for syslog-ng that it seems like if we are going to do it we should do it soon.  Could someone who understands a bit about syslog have a look at that one?
16:32:44 <ScottK> Bug 950799
16:32:46 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 950799 in syslog-ng (Ubuntu) "Freeze exception: syslog-ng 3.3.4 (bugfixes)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/950799
16:33:06 <Daviey> o/
16:33:09 <ScottK> cjwatson: Thanks for the quick turn-around on the D-I hostname fix.
16:33:12 <ScottK> Daviey: Thanks.
16:33:26 <cjwatson> np
16:33:30 <Daviey> oops, what did i sign up for? :)
16:33:34 <cjwatson> yeah, I can have a look at archive bugs, I guess.
16:33:35 <skaet> ScottK,  will see if we can get the removal and component moves tamed.    I'll see if I can help.
16:33:44 <ScottK> Thanks cjwatson.
16:33:54 <ScottK> Daviey: I thought you were volunteering for the syslog-ng FFe.
16:34:02 <Daviey> ScottK: Happy to review it, yes
16:34:15 <ScottK> Great.
16:34:15 <ScottK> ..
16:34:16 <skaet> Thanks Daviey, cjwatson.  :)
16:34:37 <skaet> Daviey did you have a comment/question - or were you volunteering?
16:34:41 <Daviey> skaet: both
16:34:47 <skaet> go then Daviey
16:34:58 <Daviey> I noticed there were a few commitsunder the name 'cdimage'
16:35:10 <Daviey> It doesn't seem ideal to have anonymous changes :(
16:35:34 <cjwatson> Don't Do That Then :)
16:35:39 <Daviey> https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cdimage/debian-cd/ubuntu
16:35:45 <Daviey> cjwatson: this is what i am saying.
16:35:46 <Daviey> :)
16:35:56 <cjwatson> people should be checking out the code on their laptops and working there.  It's what I've told every single person I've ever advised regarding cdimage code access.
16:36:03 <cjwatson> (I'm vociferously agreeing)
16:36:49 <Daviey> groovy :)
16:36:50 <Daviey> ..
16:37:18 <cjwatson> Riddell: ^- I think that was you, from the character of the changes?
16:37:40 <Riddell> very likely
16:37:46 <cjwatson> please do not do that
16:38:00 <cjwatson> I can help you with the setup if you need it
16:38:20 <Riddell> yes sorry, the ways to edit those are very unclear and infinity and slangasek had different ideas
16:38:33 <Riddell> but anyway I should set the commit name for sure
16:38:42 <cjwatson> no, please do not commit on nusakan
16:38:58 <cjwatson> I'll hack up the cdimage account there to disable it if I have to, but would rather not :)
16:39:04 <ogra_> unless you do it in a local branch in your homedir :)
16:39:11 <cjwatson> I'll help you get it set up
16:40:02 <Daviey> cjwatson: commiting on nusakan isn't a problem, if you branch to ~ and set your whoami, right?
16:40:04 <pitti> I did a commit as "pitti" in my checkout on nusakan (in ~pitti, not ~cdimage), and merged back
16:40:14 <ogra_> Daviey, thats what i do
16:40:17 <pitti> that was what Steve or Adam recommended
16:40:21 <Daviey> ogra_: i noticed :)
16:40:29 <Riddell> see what I mean?  very unclear
16:40:49 <Daviey> well, commiting as cdimage on the live code, isn't right
16:40:53 <ogra_> Riddell, we aere all saying the same in different words :)
16:40:56 <Daviey> Anything else sounds ok, right cjwatson ?
16:41:07 <cjwatson> please work on your development system, not on nusakan
16:41:25 <Daviey> cjwatson: can you explain concerns?
16:41:25 <cjwatson> doing it in your home directory isn't such a problem but I would still strongly prefer people not to do it
16:41:42 <cjwatson> nusakan is a production system not a development system; even though we admittedly don't have a clear separation
16:41:46 <cjwatson> but it's a bad habit to get into
16:41:56 <Daviey> ok
16:42:01 <cjwatson> I will document it
16:42:11 <skaet> thanks cjwatson. :)
16:42:33 * skaet looking around for any other hands
16:42:39 <skaet> did I miss anyone?
16:43:45 * skaet guesses not,  okie... time to end the meeting
