15:05 <cjwatson> Emergency PackageKit fix prompted by a linkage change in apt.
15:05 <cjwatson> click:
15:05 <cjwatson> - Working on new D-Bus service to replace our use of PackageKit.  Took a while to get hold of the connected username but Martin Pitt eventually dug me out of my misunderstanding.
15:05 <cjwatson> - I have the service running now; just need to write the client side.
15:05 <cjwatson> - Minor fix to "click info" to cope with getting manifests from files that don't end with .click, which shouldn't be required for installation.
15:05 <cjwatson> Kept up with all sorts of miniature fires in ubuntu-rtm, image building, etc.
15:05 <cjwatson> Trying to work out how best to get add-apt-repository working on ubuntu-rtm, which requires a bit more than what's in software-properties/utopic now.  I have most of a possible approach but awaiting feedback from Michael when he has time.
15:05 <cjwatson> Reviewed/sponsored fixes for bug 1362752 and bug 1073108.
15:05 <ubottu> bug 1362752 in Kubuntu PPA "no SDDM autologin even if ubiquity box is set" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1362752
15:05 <cjwatson> On the side, worked on a new man-db release.  Ordering file accesses by their first physical extent (idea from dpkg) makes mandb run about three times faster on rotational disks!
15:05 <cjwatson> ..
15:06 <mvo_> cjwatson: what linkage change what that? I don't think this was intended … :/
15:06 <cjwatson> Oh, also, I'm off on Monday visiting family.
15:07 <cjwatson> mvo_: I don't think it was apt's fault which is why I didn't complain at you - just a side-effect of an otherwise innocent change.
15:07 <cjwatson> mvo_: https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/pull/11 has the details
15:07 <mvo_> heh, thanks
15:07 <bdmurray> slangasek: no bill?

15:08 <bdmurray> overrode false regression regarding ubuntu-release-upgrader
15:08 <bhuey> slangasek: ok
15:08 <cjwatson> mvo_: (that kFreeBSD-related change meant that libapt-pkg no longer uses forkpty, which means that it no longer links against anything in -lutil, so the linker drops it)
15:08 <bdmurray> updated arsenal code to fix roaksoax issues also helped him write a report

15:10 <robru> * CI Train
15:10 <robru> - pep8 & pyflakes cleanup for cupstream2distro/ dir
15:10 <robru> - eliminate some copypasta from prepare_silo.py
15:10 <robru> - broke a logical unit out of main() into a new function with tests
15:10 <robru> - found a reimplementatin of set.discard and deleted it in favor of using set.discard
15:10 <robru> - increased the logging in the build job to try and troubleshoot the issue where it reports successful builds immediately without actually scanning the PPA. still no luck on a solution there though
15:10 <robru> - total overhaul of prepare_silo_using_spreadsheet_info.py with tests
15:10 <robru> - Fixed or deleted the remaining skipped tests -- no more skipped tests!
15:10 <robru> - deleted a ton of unused code
15:10 <robru> - transformed citrain/ dir into a real python module so eg. if one script needs to call another script, they can import and call each other in a tidy pythonic way, rather than shelling out to invoke each other.
15:10 <robru> - (plus ten million landings)
15:10 <robru> (done)
15:11 <barry> robru: "found a reimplementatin of set.discard and deleted it" wow

15:12 <slangasek> * started a biweekly landing team meeting to dig further into topics that don't fit in the daily stand-ups
15:12 <slangasek> * TI partner package reviews: there are a lot of them again for another round, look for some of these reviews to be distributed
15:12 <slangasek> * next Wednesday, out for a business meeting with a partner in Seattle
15:12 <slangasek> * archive rebuild: working through the cross-toolchain packages, the packaging is an out-of-sync mess but I have the overall package building again and now just need to get everything back in sync
