I generally babysit the virt stack - lxc, qemu, libvirt, netcf ,and the like. 15:14 my application is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SergeHallyn/CoreDevApplication 15:14 I've been generally happy with the package upload rights that I have, 15:15 but am applying for coredev in the hopes of being more generally helpful. 15:15 (without always being a burden to someone to sponsor) 15:17 hallyn: how's qemu 2.0 looking? :) 15:17 it's looking good! 15:18 now we have to hope upstream sticks to its schedule 15:18 * barry has been meaning to try it to see if it fixes the crashes with certain builds 15:18 the new trusty kernel also may fix some crashs fwiw 15:20 since nobody's asking questions, let's start with the usual ones 15:20 hallyn: so, what are you wanting to maintain in Debian? 15:20 are you subscribed to ubuntu-devel-announce@lists.ubuntu.com? 15:20 stgraber: I am 15:20 tumbleweed: I currently maintain netcf. would like to have upload rights for that. want to ITP vimprobable2; 15:21 would like to help out eventually with shadow, libcap2, lxc, 15:21 i'm on the maint team for qemu 15:21 probably get cgmanager into Debian too? 15:21 I would hope DM is only going to be a stepping stone towards DD, then 15:21 :) 15:21 that too :) 15:21 tumbleweed: yup 15:21 (the lack of both cgroup-lite and cgmanager in Debian and the usually broken state of LXC in there is really annoying...) 15:22 stgraber: that will of course force the systemd+cgmanager issue, but yes. 15:22 it needs to be addressed anyway :) 15:22 yep 15:24 hallyn: i'm glad to see LP: #1284793. in the packages you maintain, do you have any other FFes? 15:24 Launchpad bug 1284793 in qemu (Ubuntu) "[FFE] Merge qemu 2.0" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1284793 15:24 barry: I don't. zul has an FFE for libvirt for 1.2.0. 15:25 (I had an ffe for cgmanger, but it is fix released now) 15:25 oh wait, 15:25 there may be one for lxc for stacked apparmor profiles, if the core support goes into kernel int ime 15:26 hallyn: k, thanks 15:26 * Laney needs to bug you both about lxc /dev/{console,tty*} handling that he noticed breaks user switching today :-) 15:26 about your UDD complaints in the "What I like least" section --- do you see anything that can be done about it? 15:27 Laney: well on a project by project basis, simply agreeing on whether to use the bzr tree for staging fixes in advance; 15:27 i'd personally prefer it if dput refused if the lp tree had changes 15:27 One of the main benefits was having a standard way to work with source package 15:28 but given that there's no engineering happening on UDD it's hard to see any of the wishlist items being addressed 15:28 right, and right now there are two standard ways (or more) 15:28 or even any of the bugs 15:28 yeah :( 15:28 so, short of someone free software-ing up a fix, I wonder what can be done 15:28 for my own side, i may just need to whip up a script that does that checking for me 15:29 in lxc, i always fear i'll wipe a change by stgraber; in vmguider, it goes the other way bc i work from lp:vmbuilder, but for isntance xnox had recently made a package-onlychange 15:29 yeah 15:29 the importer certainly used to propose back merge proposals if the archive overwrote something 15:29 I'm not sure if that still works 15:30 that *would* be neat. 15:30 xnox might know 15:30 yeah, for LXC I always stage and keep lp:~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/lxc/trusty in sync but the importer is just completely broken, ubuntu:lxc doesn't work and auto-imports don't either... 15:30 at least bzr branch ubuntu:foo complains if the source branch is out of date now. when i see that, i fallback to apt-get source 15:30 for years, qemu and libvirt would fail to auto-import every time. 15:31 (then import the .dsc an viola! a bzr branch) 15:31 in my ideal world, we could tag a bzr ttree to say "publish this as pkg" :) 15:31 It's a bit sad that we've not gotten over the line with UDD 15:31 but i know that won't happen at this point 15:31 barry: sort of, try branching ubuntu:lxc for fun ;) 15:32 ScottK was quite prescient when we started writing the 'packaging guide' a couple of years ago 15:32 barry: we have a UDD branch, but the ubuntu:lxc alias is broken for whatever reason 15:32 he pushed back on it being as UDD-heavy as it is 15:32 stgraber: yay 15:32 but sadly wasn't listened to so it's turned out to be a bit split brained 15:32 stgraber: oh i thought i was misuing the ubuntu: shortcut :) 15:33 hallyn: nope, it's just UDD being horribly broken with LXC, you need to use the full path (lp:~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/lxc/trusty) 15:33 Laney: hallyn: since importer doesn't look at "trunk" branches, e.g. lp:vmbuilder, it wouldn't help in the case hallyn mentioned. 15:33 * barry cries a little inside 15:33 hallyn, I notice that most of your endorsements come from teammates or former teammates, I know that you're engaged with other developers in the community as well, I was wondering if you approached anyone else for testimonials outside of that list (no need to name names) and if you got any other feedback 15:33 I'm asking about the merge-backfeature 15:33 xnox: yes. 15:33 s/back/back / 15:34 I don't remember seeing that stuff in the queue, but it could just be because nobody pushes to UDD any more 15:34 Laney: it generates some branches still, but i don't think it proposed to merge them any more. 15:34 micahg-work: he did approach me (we're not on the same team technically) but I sort of forgot to write a testimonial ;) 15:34 micahg-work: hm, i'd have to look at the list; there was one, who said he only saw one pkg he had sponsored for me so felt he could only do a personal endorsement 15:35 ok, right :), that probably would've preempted by question :) 15:35 s/by/my/ 15:35 so btw, I've been working with hallyn a long time, been reviewing quite a lot of his packaging changes (he always asks when unsure), been sponsoring quite a few of his changes and they're usually of great quality. It'd be nice having him be able to touch the rest of the archive (outside of the ubuntuserver package set) especially given his interest in +1 maintenance. 15:36 ^ there you go :) sorry for being late 15:36 wfm 15:36 * Laney is all outta Qs 15:39 #vote Serge Hallyn for Ubuntu Coredev 15:39 Please vote on: Serge Hallyn for Ubuntu Coredev 15:39 Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (for private voting, private message me with 'vote +1/-1/+0 #channelname) 15:39 +1 15:39 +1 received from stgraber 15:39 +1 15:39 +1 received from tumbleweed 15:39 +1 15:39 +1 received from micahg-work 15:39 +1 15:39 +1 received from Laney 15:40 +1 15:40 +1 received from barry 15:40 #endvote 15:40 Voting ended on: Serge Hallyn for Ubuntu Coredev 15:40 Votes for:5 Votes against:0 Abstentions:0 15:40 Motion carried 15:40 hallyn: congrats! 15:40 w00t 15:40 thanks :) 15:40 added to ~ubuntu-core-dev 15:41 #topic AOB 15:41 yeah, one thing 15:41 who wants to take over the membership-monitor cronjob? 15:41 I can give you a tarball of the current state 15:42 tumbleweed: send it to me, I'll get it running somewhere 15:42 cool 15:42 ah, I see the bzr repo already belongs to be board 15:43 oh god, I really ought to figure out that packageset script 15:43 I re-ran it the other day and it confused me even more by giving mozjs24 to edubuntu 15:43 I've been wanting to poke at that for a couple years now 15:43 blame cjwatson ;) 15:44 :P 15:45 so before we wrap, I'd just like to say a big thank you to barry and tumbleweed for serving on the DMB for so long (2 years and 2 years and 2 months respectively), all the best! 15:45 * cjwatson hides 15:46 thanks, it's been a pleasure 15:46 and again congratulations to the new members, xnox and bdmurray. And to micahg-work for sticking with us for another term! 15:46 stgraber: thanks! it's been a great experience, thanks largely to the other fantastic members on the board. congrats to the new members. 15:46 \o/ 15:46 thanks chaps 15:47 * Laney goes to hassle stgraber and hallyn in another channel 15:47 :) 15:48 ok, so I think that's a wrap. It'll take me a while to do all the paperwork (picked the wrong meeting to chair...) but I'll send an e-mail to the private list once it's all done and the announcements to u-d-a as I'm done with the changes. 15:48 thanks everyone! 15:48 #endmeeting
