16:10:16 <cjwatson> GRUB: Pushed some patches to Debian; converted to GCC 4.7; merged back into Ubuntu.
16:10:19 <cjwatson> 12.04.2:

16:10:30 <cjwatson> - Fixed Chinese edition image build failures.
16:10:33 <cjwatson> Cross-building: Fixed patch, xz-utils, kmod, and hopefully xterm.
16:10:35 <cjwatson> Lots of merges and random build/upgrade fixes.
16:10:38 <cjwatson> Caught up on archive removals a bit.
16:10:40 <cjwatson> Sorted out most of the tail-end of the opencv transition by way of a messy gluegen2/armhf build fix.  Need to do something similar to libjogl2-java.
16:10:43 <cjwatson> Working on backporting support for :any and :native build-dependencies to the Debian buildds, so that we stop having to carry such things as Ubuntu deltas.
16:10:46 <cjwatson> ..
16:10:50 <ogra_> heh, sawfish still has users ?
16:11:00 <doko> cjwatson, did kmod need anything besides dropping b-d's?
16:11:19 <cjwatson> doko: that was all
16:11:22 * xnox doesn't even know what sawfish is =) i think i should be glad.
16:11:26 <cjwatson> xnox: a WM
16:11:32 <ev> - Very short week. Holiday until Friday, then off again on Monday.
16:11:32 <ev> - Continuing to get the charms ready for prodstack, battling Canonistack every step of the way.
16:11:32 <ev> - Waiting to hear back if we still have an EC2 credit as we desperately need to expand the number of retracers (we're getting a lot more core files) and we can't do that until we have everything on prodstack.
16:11:32 <ev> (done)
16:11:37 <cjwatson> ogra_: evidence suggests at least two :-)
16:11:38 <ogra_> ev ?!?!
16:11:52 <ev> hm?
16:12:01 <ogra_> thats a record in shortness
16:12:11 <cjwatson> doko: I suspect perl:native would have done too once it's supported, but it wasn't necessary
16:12:36 <ev> heh
16:12:56 <doko> - getting the buildd chroot nearly cross-built
16:12:56 <doko> - updating cross toolchain packages, trying to eliminate more ad hoc solutions
16:13:11 <doko> - some test rebuild fixes and give-backs
16:13:16 <doko> ..
16:13:28 <ogra_> done:
16:13:28 <ogra_> * read the 3800 mail backlog from vacation
16:13:28 <ogra_> * fixed ureadahead on the nexus7
16:13:28 <ogra_> * worked on initrd-less booting on the nexus7
16:13:28 <ogra_> * slightly stuck on trying to get plymouth to work without having console-setup run from the initrd
16:13:30 <ogra_> todo:
16:13:32 <ogra_> * discuss livefs builder situation with infinity (we need to start building nx7 images for flavours, that will need some cut down in buildtime or more builders)
16:13:35 <ogra_> * move nx7 images to xz compression (and probably move compressing from livefs builder to nusakan)
16:13:37 <ogra_> * fix plymouth vs console-setup racing somehow
16:13:39 <ogra_> * package tegra3 gstreamer codecs for raring
16:13:41 <ogra_> ..
16:14:08 <xnox> * Fixed bug #1091788 , bug #1093957

16:14:08 <xnox> pep8 - apt-btrfs-snapshot;
16:14:08 <xnox> * Cross-building buildd chroot: dbus (added m-a header), libnih (needs
16:14:09 <xnox> :native b-d support, but otherwise fixed), libsemanage (add
16:14:10 <xnox> DEB_STAGE)

16:14:27 <barry> looked into claws-m-p-e build failures when syncing from debian: libgdata/libcurl4-{gnutls,nss}-dev mess kills us again.  bug 1095407.  bug 1077087.  bug 1077089. upstream oauthlib issue 86.  py3 porting: lazr.smtptest, lazr.delegates, lazr.config (inprogress).  evaluating pillow (friendly PIL port for py3).  helped with a few lp:friends issues. started looking at mvo's sqlite fts branches for software-center (hopefully to drop xapian
16:14:27 <barry> dependency).  dmb meeting. done.

16:16:28 <xnox> barry: what's speed comparison of sqlite vs xapian for software-center use case? i hope that incremental indexing is faster.
16:16:44 <barry> xnox: i don't know that yet ;)
16:16:59 <barry> i'd be happy if it was in the same ballpark
16:17:27 <xnox> ah. I takes quite a chunk of installation time to generate software-center index.... /me even considered having initial index in the package *gasp*
16:18:54 <doko> barry: I already have pillow packaging
16:19:57 <barry> doko: yeah, i saw that comment.  please provide url.  (my packaging isn't meant to be definitive, just enough to evaluate upstream)
16:20:45 <barry> doko: i build from a github pull request which is fixing py3 issues
16:24:42 <bdmurray> cjwatson: ?
16:25:38 <cjwatson> oh, sorry
16:25:40 <cjwatson> distracted :)
16:25:46 <cjwatson> #topic bugs
16:25:56 <cjwatson> anything we should be looking at this week that we aren't already?
16:26:24 <bdmurray> bug 1078810 regarding quantal had a recent comment that allowed me to recreate the bug (most of the time)
16:26:26 <ubottu> bug 1078810 in usb-creator (Ubuntu) "usb-creator-helper crashed with ImportError in __main__: No module named 'gobject'" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1078810
16:26:40 <xnox> interesting!
16:26:42 <bdmurray> er, whoops
16:26:56 <bdmurray> yes, that's a bug we should look but my comment was about another bug
16:26:58 <cjwatson> oh dear, missing pygi porting
16:28:24 <barry> dang
16:28:36 * xnox will look into it.
16:28:43 <xnox> helper script is small
16:29:00 <bdmurray> okay, thanks xnox
16:29:28 <bdmurray> my comment regarding being able to recreate a usb-creator bug on quantal was about bug 915626
16:29:30 <ubottu> bug 915626 in usb-creator (Ubuntu Quantal) "usb-creator-gtk crashed with SIGSEGV" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/915626
16:29:39 <xnox> still good =)
16:31:01 <bdmurray> I'd test it raring but…
16:31:59 <cjwatson> But it's completely screwed due to the prior bug? :)
16:32:42 <bdmurray> right
16:33:12 <xnox> =)))))))
16:33:23 <cjwatson> xnox: can you take 915626 as well, then?
16:33:27 <xnox> i guess i win both =)
16:33:54 <bdmurray> It seems like we should look at reviewing the branch associated with bug 1095692 for the 12.04 point release
16:33:56 <ubottu> bug 1095692 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Hide the 'back' button on the first page of oem-user-config" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1095692
16:34:16 <cjwatson> bdmurray: Yep - I'll do that today
16:34:21 <xnox> that's not merged into raring yet ?!
16:35:47 <cjwatson> bdmurray: assigned to me, prodded bug metadata
16:35:59 <bdmurray> okay, thanks
16:36:14 * xnox has .changes ready to make ubiquity upload into raring. Can I still do it (to test if partman fixes resolve hangs) or cjwatson you'll do an upload today?
16:36:52 <bdmurray> Then I'm curious how worthwhile is it to SRU bug 1078544.
16:36:54 <ubottu> bug 1078544 in aptdaemon (Ubuntu Quantal) "python-aptdaemon: upgrading marks auto-installed packages as manual" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1078544
16:37:19 <cjwatson> xnox: I'll review/commit and you can upload whenever's convenient
16:37:35 <cjwatson> xnox: no need to block on me, I can put it in the next version along if I need to
16:37:54 <xnox> ack.
16:38:34 <cjwatson> I suspect that infinity would still like to sort out that aptdaemon bug, based on his comments about kernel autoremoval; it might be worth asking him
16:38:52 <cjwatson> oh, which reminds me, infinity sent apologies, but:
16:38:52 <cjwatson> 12:39 <infinity> cjwatson: The only real point of interest from me is glibc_2.17 that should be landing when the test rebuild is done (about half done rebasing all the patches for experimental, then the Ubuntu
16:38:56 <cjwatson> merge will be trivial on top of that)
16:39:57 <cjwatson> bdmurray: anything else?
16:40:31 <bdmurray> xnox: did you have any luck with the kernel and testing bug 1023645?
16:40:33 <ubottu> bug 1023645 in ndiswrapper (Ubuntu Quantal) "ndiswrapper-dkms 1.57-1ubuntu1: ndiswrapper kernel module failed to build [error: ‘struct kernel_stat’ has no member named ‘cpustat’]" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1023645
16:41:04 <xnox> bdmurray: a few people i poked do not have ndiswrapper hardware.
16:41:20 <xnox> anybody here has hw that can take ndiswrapped windows drivers?
16:41:45 <xnox> (people i know tend to choose hardware for ubuntu though)
16:43:13 <bdmurray> well if nobody has hardware to test then that's it from me
16:43:43 <cjwatson> thanks

16:44:57 <cjwatson> anyone?
16:45:14 <xnox> loads of precise pending srus and bugs in the report.
16:45:38 <cjwatson> which report?
16:45:39 <xnox> maybe we should go through them and see what should be targetted at 12.04.2
