16:05 <cjwatson> - Applied bi-endian ELF parser patch.
16:05 <cjwatson> - Tidied up a few packaging bugs introduced when merging 2.02~beta2.
16:05 <cjwatson> - Organised some real-world testing of 2.02~beta2 (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/blosxom/2014-01-18-testing-wanted-grub-2.02-beta2.html); fixed a few bugs that resulted.  There's still the odd problem, but I think it should be good to go into trusty tomorrow or Monday.
16:05 <cjwatson> Click:
16:05 <cjwatson> - Added ${short-id} hook pattern expansion (bug 1251635).
16:05 <ubottu> bug 1251635 in upstart-app-launch (Ubuntu) "drop version numbers from users' .desktop file names" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1251635

16:05 <cjwatson> - Added support for apps requiring multiple frameworks.
16:06 <cjwatson> 12.04.4:
16:06 <cjwatson> - More chasing of various SRUs.
16:06 <cjwatson> - Uploaded d-i for other series so that I can fully QA a kickseed SRU.
16:06 <cjwatson> Miscellaneous:
16:06 <cjwatson> - Some work on the libwebp transition.
16:06 <cjwatson> - Merged partman-auto.
16:06 <cjwatson> - Minimal proof of concept of autopilot/emulator tests driven by autopkgtest, based on xnox's work.

16:06 <cjwatson> ..
16:06 <cjwatson> xnox: I'll review partman-crypto today; somebody else should review ubiquity since I have a change in there
16:06 <xnox> cjwatson: thanks.
16:07 <cjwatson> though I don't see ubiquity in the precise-proposed queue
16:07 <xnox> hm. checking.
16:07 <stgraber> cjwatson: I can take ubiquity once it's in the queue
16:07 <cjwatson> ta
16:07 <slangasek> * short week, bank holiday on Monday
16:07 <slangasek> * working with the emulator locally to test pam 1.1.8 before upload
16:07 <slangasek> * going down a rabbit hole wrt autopilot tests and upstart jobs on the phone
16:07 <slangasek> * looking at what's required for Java support in 14.04
16:08 <slangasek> * ongoing discussions in Debian about init systems for jessie
16:08 <slangasek> * prepared slides/video summary of Foundations client-side roadmap in 14.04, which will be posted publically for the community on youtube soonish (tomorrow?)
16:08 <slangasek> * taking tomorrow off - see you in London :)
16:08 <slangasek> (done)
16:08 <jodh> * core-1311-upstart-roadmap:
16:08 <jodh> - cgroup support: Updated code for cgmanager 0.16.
16:08 <jodh> - async spawning: Ongoing work to resolve script job bug.
16:08 <jodh> * upstart:
16:08 <jodh> - bug 1269731: Fixed and wrote new tests. Landed upstream and uploaded as
16:08 <ubottu> bug 1269731 in upstart "init crashed with SIGSEGV" [Critical,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1269731
16:08 <jodh> upstart 1.11-0ubuntu2.
16:08 <jodh> - DEP-8 tests: Attempted a nested kvm setup using canonistack as bug
16:08 <jodh> 1208509 may now be fixed in trusty we believe. However, since the
16:08 <jodh> latest images are a week old, they suffer from bug 1269731 (meaning
16:08 <jodh> the guest dies when the packages are automatically updated before
16:08 <jodh> the tests are run. I'll wait until there is a new image containing
16:08 <jodh> upstart 1.11-0ubuntu2 then try again.
16:08 <jodh> - Wrote a periodic-logrotate job that could be useful until Upstart
16:08 <jodh> grows a time bridge (since currently we only run logrotate once) and
16:08 <jodh> raised an MP for discussion:
16:08 <jodh> https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesodhunt/ubuntu/trusty/upstart/periodic-logrotate/+merge/202434
16:08 <jodh> - Fixed Upstart element of bug 1263738 such that Upstart will not own
16:08 <ubottu> bug 1263738 in lxc (Ubuntu Trusty) "login console 0 in user namespace container is not configured right" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1263738
16:08 <slangasek> xnox: when did you fix the cmake cross-compilation regression?  Does that fix the problem ChickenCutlass was seeing yesterday with powerd?
16:08 <jodh> the console, even in an lxc container (where /dev/kmsg is linked to /dev/console).
16:09 <jodh> https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesodhunt/upstart/kmsg-noctty/+merge/202673
16:09 <jodh> (Thanks to stgraber for reviewing and additional testing!)
16:09 <jodh>16:09 <stokachu> kermit?
16:09 <xnox> slangasek: i fixed it couple of hours ago. Let me test powerd quickly.
16:09 <slangasek> xnox: oh, I used abi-compliance-checker on qt5 this past week (hmm, shoulda put that in the status report) - nice little tool, though for Qt5.0->Qt5.2 the reports are oppressively verbose :)
16:10 <doko> - working today together with the Berlin locals in an office
16:10 <doko> - Mon, Tue another two days of merges, nbs, component mismatches, MIR's
16:10 <doko> - look at (and fix) libffi / python-cffi issues on armhf, arm64 (with Will Newton)
16:10 <doko> - GCC 4.9 updates, GCC 4.8 updates
16:10 <doko> - gccgo merges and backports
16:10 <doko> - main test rebuild evaluation
16:10 <doko> - ppc64el fixes
16:10 <doko> - build the mono stack for ppc64el
16:10 <doko> (done)
16:10 <xnox> slangasek: i think, all we want is to construct a chroot / phone-image with 5.2 stack, take system dump of that chroot, and then simply run abi-compliance-checker against binary / library and ask it to say if it's compatible with this new system-dump or not.
16:11 <stokachu> bug 833994 is coming up again, seems the users just want https and do not care about verification
16:11 <ubottu> bug 833994 in debian-installer-utils (Ubuntu) "debian-installer does not support https when using with preseed files" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/833994
16:11 <stokachu> (done)
16:11 <xnox> slangasek: i think that's easier, rather than tracking all internal exposed details of qt 5.0 -> 5.2 changes.
16:11 <stgraber> - cgmanager:
16:11 <stgraber> - Did a few pre-upload package reviews
16:11 <stgraber> - NEWed the package into the archive
16:11 <stgraber> - LXC:
16:11 <stgraber> - Fixed PAM harder to make it work with unprivileged containers.
16:11 <stgraber> - Wrote about unprivileged LXC: https://www.stgraber.org/2014/01/17/lxc-1-0-unprivileged-containers/
16:11 <stgraber> - Worked pretty hard to get unprivileged LXC to be as close to privileged LXC feature-wise (got lxc-attach working, fixed a ton of small bugs here and there).
16:12 <stgraber> - A ton of code reviews (got all outstanding pull requests handled, same with all patches sent to various lists), started to go through outstanding bugs.
16:12 <stgraber> - Ubuntu touch
16:12 <stgraber> - Some more work on the system-image branch for ports/private servers (found a couple of nasty bugs, fixed and now working on tests).
16:12 <slangasek> jodh: which image are you using in canonistack that's a week old?  Surely we should have fresh images available daily?
16:12 <stgraber> - Other
16:12 <stgraber> - SRU/New reviews
16:12 <stgraber> - Released pastebinit 1.4 and 1.4.1
16:12 <stgraber> - A few merges
16:12 <stgraber> - TODO this week
16:12 <stgraber> - Some more LXC work, with the plan of releasing a beta3 before the sprint
16:12 <stgraber> - Test and setup PPA builds of LXC with cgmanager now that it's in the archive
16:12 <stgraber> - Try and get that system-image branch merged (will try to write the remaining tests on the plane)
16:12 <stgraber> (DONE)
16:12 <xnox> jodh: daily channell or released channel openstack/juju images?
16:13 <jodh> slangasek/xnox: dunno - I'm calling euca-describe-images
16:13 <slangasek> xnox: yeah, for 5.2 purposes I was trying to answer the specific question of whether the qreal size change had a practical impact on our existing app store; so I did a bit of post-processing of the a-c-c dump :)
16:13 <xnox> slangasek: hehe. right. Hm, you have access to all appstore for analysis? can i have such access as well?
16:14 <xnox> slangasek: or are you iterating via sso-authenticated api?
16:14 <jodh> slangasek/xnox: newest official(?) image looks like ubuntu-daily/ubuntu-trusty-daily-amd64-server-20140116.1-disk1.img
16:14 <slangasek> stgraber: "fixed PAM harder"> did you need me to upload the latest changes to trusty?  feel free to do so now that it's upstream
16:15 <slangasek> stgraber: (I'd appreciate you committing your changes to the bzr branch too, of course)
16:15 <xnox> jodh: i wonder if it's alpha2 related, i did ask for cloud image respin due to kernel bugs. Let me ping cloudy people about it.
16:15 <jodh> xnox: cool - ta.
16:15 <slangasek> stgraber: upstream made a few tweaks on top of your commit, so I hadn't had a chance to look at which bits we needed, smash it into a single patch, etc.
16:15 <xnox> jodh: there is utlemming/testing/ubuntu-trusty-amd64-20140123-1390436026
16:15 <xnox> jodh: which should have kernel fixes in.
16:16 <jodh> xnox: yeah, saw that but don't know how vanilla it is
16:16 <xnox> jodh: it's as prestine as ubuntu-daily
16:16 <slangasek> xnox: I have "popey got me a dump of all the packages and posted them where I could download them" access
16:16 <stgraber> slangasek: well, ideally we'd want to have this in Debian too since lxc-download now builds daily Debian images too, but yeah, I can apply my change straight to Ubuntu for now until you get around to cleaning things up and uploading to Debian
16:16 <slangasek> xnox: so yeah, sso-authenticated api... one step removed
16:16 <xnox> slangasek: popey-proxy =)
16:16 <xnox> =))))
16:17 <slangasek> stgraber: if you apply it to Ubuntu, I'll just pick it back into Debian :)
16:17 * popey wakes
16:17 <slangasek> ok - anything else on status?
16:19 <slangasek> cjwatson: stokachu mentioned bug #833994.  Should we maybe turn this into a blueprint for what the acceptable technical approach would be, so that it doesn't keep getting rehashed?

16:19 <cjwatson> oh, infinity and I got grub2 working on ppc64el this morning, ish
16:19 <slangasek> \o/
16:19 <cjwatson> slangasek: yeah, I guess.  I don't think I have time this week though ...
16:19 <slangasek> cjwatson: ack

16:21 <slangasek> anything else?
16:21 <slangasek> I guess we'll have plenty of time to talk about everything at the sprint next week, so maybe not
