I did email the tech board directly with the bugs. 15:05 cyphermox: understood :) 15:05 do you want me to look at it instead? 15:06 I can't remember what it is. 15:06 oh well, fine 15:06 ok 15:06 mapreri: we'll pester them tomorrow :) 15:06 I could probably just get more involved in more core stuff and get core-dev :P 15:06 or if I catch a second, I'll ask someone directly 15:06 mapreri: please do :-) 15:06 ok; moving on 15:07 I'm going "fast" because bdmurray is on a time limit; and we have lots to review 15:07 #topic Package Set/Per Package Uploader Applications 15:07 rbasak: cyphermox: FYI - mail sent 15:07 ta 15:09 #subtopic Christian Ehrhardt's multipath-tools PPU; and postgres PPU 15:09 and MOTU? 15:09 we shoudl review PPU separately 15:09 or is that a seperate chunk of deciding in terms of PPU 15:09 ok 15:09 ^ I think given the various applications though, both PPU at the same time seems like an optimisation. 15:09 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChristianEhrhardt/MultipathToolsPPUApplication 15:09 Speaking of optimization I'm ready to vote 15:09 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChristianEhrhardt/PostgresPPUApplication 15:10 now we're talkin'. 15:10 I have the pleasure of working with cpaelzer. I don't remember being asked for an endorsement, but he has mine for all three applications. 15:10 rbasak: I didn't ask to not compromise you here for the decision 15:10 cyphermox: I asked because he is Mr. Multipath 15:10 Fair enough 15:10 You're getting one here anyway :-P 15:10 cpaelzer: fwiw you should not feel like I "own" multipath-tools 15:10 cpaelzer is diligent in his work, always asks when unsure, and his uploads are of very high quality. 15:10 then we 15:11 So I'm happy to endorse him for all three applications, and I have no further questions and am ready to vote. 15:11 uggh 15:11 then we're all ready to vote? 15:11 sil2100 ? 15:11 I think I don't have any questions myself 15:11 cpaelzer: I do have one. 15:11 I may have one question 15:11 Since I also had some experience in reviewing cpaelzer's uploads from the SRU queue 15:11 ok 15:12 bdmurray: you first. 15:12 (and sprinting) 15:12 pitti says that there were some regressions in the last round of postgresql SRUs. How can that be avoided going forward? 15:13 yeah that was "fun" for certain degrees of fun - pitti promised "there would never be some" and just on the first we took over we broke the rule :-) 15:13 for the details that was on the MRE updates 15:13 the stable releases changed parts that primarily affected testcases 15:14 bdmurray: on these in particular there is not much to prevent them other than testing in advance which we did this time as well 15:14 we knew about them from the dep8 tests on bileto IIRC 15:14 and I worked through the dependent packages to adapt testcases were needed 15:14 Did these regressions hit the updates pocket? It's not clear to me from the bug. 15:14 it was in some sense dep8 only regressions rbasak 15:14 so it was stopped in -proposed 15:15 we analyzed and cleaned up 15:15 Ah OK, thanks. 15:15 and from there things become green and good again 15:15 bdmurray: there is one thing we can improve on thou 15:15 which this time was less optimal since this was our first take over from pittei (our = nacc + me) 15:15 we could have started about 2 days earlier to see it sooner 15:16 but that was all I'd think on this special case 15:16 cpaelzer: how did you get so tall? 15:16 cpaelzer: or how come am I so short? 15:16 cyphermox: I think its too late for you 15:16 ;) 15:16 cpaelzer: Okay, thanks 15:16 cyphermox: honestly - stretch while going to sleeping and wishing to grow 15:16 ready to vote? 15:16 bdmurray has a point, too late for me. 15:17 #vote cpaelzer to have PPU rights for multipath-tools 15:17 Please vote on: cpaelzer to have PPU rights for multipath-tools 15:17 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) 15:17 cyphermox: as a team we are just the right size on average 15:17 +1 15:17 +1 received from rbasak 15:17 +1 15:17 +1 received from bdmurray 15:17 (specifically multipath-tools, then I'll do the other 15:17 +1 15:17 +1 received from cyphermox 15:18 sil2100: ? 15:18 +1 15:18 +1 received from sil2100 15:19 #endvote 15:19 Voting ended on: cpaelzer to have PPU rights for multipath-tools 15:19 Votes for:4 Votes against:0 Abstentions:0 15:19 Motion carried 15:19 #vote cpaelzer to have PPU rights for postgres 15:19 Please vote on: cpaelzer to have PPU rights for postgres 15:19 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) 15:19 +1 15:19 +1 received from rbasak 15:19 +1 15:19 +1 received from bdmurray 15:20 +1 15:20 +1 received from sil2100 15:21 +1 15:21 +1 received from cyphermox 15:21 #endvote 15:21 Voting ended on: cpaelzer to have PPU rights for postgres 15:21 Votes for:4 Votes against:0 Abstentions:0 15:21 Motion carried 15:21 ok, next up is Robert Jennings 15:21 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/rcj/PerPackageUploadUbuntuCloud 15:21 #topic Robert Jennings PPU application for Ubuntu Cloud packageset 15:21 rcj: please introduce yourself :) 15:22 Hello. I've been working on delivery of public cloud images for 3 years and doing packing-related work for those images like open-vm-tools and livecd-rootfs (not in this packageset) 15:23 and drop-in fixes when I find them 15:24 I'm applying for PPU rights for UbuntuCloud to service those packages related to image delivery. 15:24 The last sponsored upload you made to this package was 2016-04-25, right? 15:24 to this packageset 15:24 That is correct 15:25 Is there any reason you haven't uploaded more recently? Eg. no need, or others have been doing it? And how often do you expect you'll need to upload in the near future? 15:26 A lot of our work is geared toward the infrastructure for delivery. But we have also grown our team and spread out the packaging work to train others. 15:26 I expect that uploads will increase however in the near future due to changing workload. 15:27 rcj: any reason you want to have the upload rights now instead after doing some sponsored uploads? 15:28 Also AFAICT arges sponsored you last in 2015, and that's the only sponsoring endorser on this application. 15:29 sil2100: I am looking to help out with uploads to provide coverage for the public cloud team 15:29 We usually prefer that people get upload rights granted after they already have some experience through packages that are sponsored by others 15:32 My sponsored uploads are not as current as I'd like, yes 15:32 fwiw, based on the uploads I've reviewed, I'm +0 on this application; I think there isn't much more necessary to make me +1; but there are quite few uploads in general 15:32 that said; the cloud packageset is special in that AFAIK, it doesn't change much 15:33 And packages like walinuxagent are specific to the environments we directly support 15:34 cloud-init though has been +1d by smoser. 15:34 I'm afraid I'm currently -1 15:35 We haven't gotten to asking you questions about general Ubuntu development knowledge. 15:35 But at a minimum I usually expect to see recent sponsored uploads. 15:36 Is there any reason this case is exceptional? Are you having any difficulty in finding sponsors, for example? 15:38 We are having some troubles and I was asked to bring this forward. When my uploads were more current I had been told to hold off. 15:38 rcj: how come? seems to me like you could ask just about anyone in your team. 15:38 (such as me, I sponsor lots of stuff) 15:40 cyphermox: Yes, including the larger team helps. The desire is to have an additional person with PPU on the cloud delivery team as well. 15:41 right 15:41 That's definitely a worthwhile goal. 15:42 But the way to achieve that is to have you work with a sponsor for a while, so that we can be confident that you understand the details for this particular set of packages. 15:42 I can take this back, work on additional sponsored uploads, and bring it forward with further endorsements. 15:43 I think even one endorsement is fine, if that sponsor has been working with you closely and recently on a representative sample of the work. 15:44 Thank you for the feedback. 15:44 rcj: thanks for coming up rcj 15:44 rcj: as previously mentioned, I'm always available to sponsor uploads 15:45 there are no Contributing Developer applications; so moving on 15:45 cyphermox: Thank you. 15:45 #topic MOTU applications 15:45 #subtopic cpaelzer's MOTU application 15:45 rcj: I'm happy to be your second choice too 15:45 sorry, was trying to discuss dpek/libvirt issues - back with you 15:46 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChristianEhrhardt/MOTU-nis-pg-more-Application 15:46 essentially I got to file the request for the postgres tools around PG itself, but it pops up in many regular tasks 15:47 nis was one example but this is so old I hope nobody has to touch it too often 15:47 but in general MOTU things showed up in our server bug triage sometimes 15:47 when bugs start at server packages but solutions grow out of there 15:47 also on bug squashing day activities I hit a few 15:47 and finally on patch piloting 15:47 which by the needs a calendar update 15:48 I recall a few of these. 15:48 is anybody taking at least the scheduling over from daniel? 15:48 As well as pg-*, there's also dovecot-antispam for example. 15:48 right that as well 15:48 So I think it's about time we just gave cpaelzer MOTU so he doesn't need to keep getting exceptions. 15:48 as I said it seems the server-work grows out of the server upload set the deeper I get into working with all of this 15:49 and this lead me to this MOTU applications with these explicit examples, but it might jsut as well another package next week 15:49 the former PPUs where core-dev + personal - so they didn't apply as MOTU exception 15:50 what about some of the sponsored packages; do you have endorsements from xnox or nacc to go along with them? 15:50 rbasak: same story; why not write an endorsement for cpaelzer? 15:50 * nacc wasn't asked or forgot if he was :) 15:51 I didn't collect all of them for endorsement - we might ping them if you want 15:51 happy to do it, but probably not during the meeting right now 15:51 i thought there were some endorsements on his core dev app 15:51 bdmurray: yes, there were from when we downgraded it about a year ago 15:51 I also started collecting core-dev reasoning bug work, but the list isn't long enough yet to show up here with that yet 15:51 well, in that case, why aren't we reviewing a core-dev application? 15:52 you can decide the track record or not, I can paste the list of this year 15:52 I only started in late January 15:52 cyphermox: I wasn't asked, but I'm happy to provide the same IRC endorsement as I did above. 15:52 bug 1675770 lvm more than 8 stripes 15:52 bug 1675770 in lvm2 (Ubuntu) "lvcreate cannot use more than 8 stripes" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1675770 15:52 bug 1668093 openssh ssh-keyscan -H clobber 15:52 bug 1668093 in openssh (Ubuntu Yakkety) "ssh-keygen -H corrupts already hashed entries" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1668093 15:52 bug 1670745 openssh ssh-keyscan port 15:52 bug 1670745 in openssh (Ubuntu Yakkety) "ssh-keyscan : bad host signature when using port option" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1670745 15:52 bug 1673491 libnl crash 15:52 bug 1673491 in libvirt (Ubuntu) "[Zesty] libnl3 Segmentation fault in sriov environments" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1673491 15:52 bug 1630516 logrotate fails to overwrite 15:52 bug 1630516 in logrotate (Ubuntu Yakkety) "Logrotate doesn't clean old system logs, allowing them to fill the disk" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1630516 15:52 in case you want to check a few 15:52 I'm talked to cpaelzer about core dev before. 15:53 Back then I wasn't sure if he had enough wide ranging stuff. 15:53 rbasak: I feel we're wasting time if there are already sufficient endorsements for core-dev and the work to show for it; then we might as well review a core-dev application; if all the DMB members here agree. 15:54 I don't think cpaelzer has dealt with everything a core dev might have to deal with, for example a transition. 15:54 In the past, that was holding me back from recommending that he apply for core dev. 15:54 ok, in that case, are we ready to vote? 15:54 But I think I've reached the stage now that I'd be happy to endorse him anyway. He's very active in uploading, not being able to upload stuff tends to block him, and he's careful and diligent. 15:55 I'm sure he knows more about library ABI matters than I do, and I supposedly have handled transitions. 15:55 we need to try to hold everyone to the same standard though; if anybody else had not done a transition, would you support a core-dev application? 15:55 DPDK forces me to do so on that end 15:56 btw I brought the hopefully final fix to that upstream - no next merge we will finally have saner ABI in that 15:56 given time constraints, we should vote now if nobody has questions 15:56 No further questions. 15:56 and I'll soon work with nacc on PG transition into aa so I'll get guided through my first one 15:57 Sorry, I missed your question 15:57 #vote cpaelzer to join MOTU 15:57 Please vote on: cpaelzer to join MOTU 15:57 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) 15:57 +1 15:57 +1 received from rbasak 15:57 +1 15:57 +1 received from cyphermox 15:57 bdmurray: ? 15:58 he might have had to leave 15:58 if anybody else had not done a transition, would you support a core-dev application> yes, if there was enough material to weigh up to a +1. 15:58 I think I saw sufficient for MOTU, so: 15:58 +1 15:58 +1 received from sil2100 15:59 I pinged infinity, just in case. 15:59 While we're waiting... 16:00 yeah? 16:00 cpaelzer tends to fix things that he touches, and I haven't seen evidence that he's ever made an error that an existing core dev wouldn't make. 16:00 sorry, +1 for MOTU 16:00 cool 16:00 And he's very active across the archive. 16:00 rbasak: I know 16:00 at this point it's more trying to finish the meeting than anything else given that bdmurray could only stay for an hour 16:01 So I think that perhaps outweighs my "no transition" point in a way that other applicants haven't convinced me in the past. 16:01 Sure 16:01 +1 16:01 +1 received from cyphermox 16:01 #endvote 16:01 Voting ended on: cpaelzer to join MOTU 16:01 Votes for:3 Votes against:0 Abstentions:0 16:01 Motion carried 16:01 The 4th was from bdmurray and hadn't registered with meetingology I think? 16:01 (bdmurray's +1 is above but didn't register because it wasn't the first thing on the line) 16:01 yeah, my bad 16:01 I'd be happy to take the post-meeting actions for cpaelzer 16:01 Perhaps easiest as he's on my team? 16:01 ack 16:02 [ACTION] rbasak to handle cpaelzer's upload rights modifications 16:02 * meetingology rbasak to handle cpaelzer's upload rights modifications 16:02 thanks everybody 16:02 no SRU or core-dev applications 16:02 I had a couple of items for AOB. 16:02 anythign outstanding on the mailing list first? 16:02 Ah, that was one of those. 16:03 we can make it AOB 16:03 #topic AOB 16:03 Iulian Udrea "Reactivation of ~iulian's membership in ~motu" 16:03 I've got to get moving but will read scrollback. 16:03 Does this need a majority vote? 16:03 bdmurray: thank you for attending! 16:03 does what need? 16:03 iulian's request? 16:03 Yes 16:03 Do we have a policy for such things? 16:04 I know for short deprecations we just 'did it' 16:04 I think we should just do it 16:04 Do we know how long his break is? 16:04 I think we should at the least understand when and why the membership ceased. 16:05 * Iulian Udrea (~iulian) expired from motu (on 2017-01-04) 16:06 I don't know whether he has core-dev before that expired earlier, but he's also still in motu-release (assuming this is still useful) 16:06 Ah 16:06 That's fine then I guess. 16:06 I also do have AOB, but it's a FYI only 16:06 My other team was on my email "Ordering of decisions to create a packageset and a first uploader" 16:06 ~langpack-uploader was showing up in the team monitoring emails; I fixed that to be skipped 16:07 I'd like to achieve consensus on that, but nobody has replied. 16:07 My other item 16:07 I think doing the work doesn't need to happen until it really does (ie there is an uploader), but we can still vote and approve a packageset before there are uploaders. 16:08 Define "approve a packageset" please. 16:08 voting for it; deciding that it makes sense. 16:08 For Budgie, would that mean "#vote A packageset defined as "Ubuntu Budgie" will be created? 16:08 " 16:09 rbasak: I don't think that one is a good example 16:09 Or anything more extensive? 16:09 Well, that's the one where we ended up in a twist. 16:09 the Ubuntu Budgie packageset should be an automatic seed-based one. 16:09 otherwise a "PPU" kind of packageset for a subset of those, which is what David was asking for previously. 16:11 in that case, it probably needs that that decision be informed by both what will go in that packageset initially, what it's used for (there might be a better way to do things) and whether the person asking for it is likely to have their application approved; as if they don't, then someone else or the same person might ask for something quite different later. 16:11 but all this is probably best left for the mailing list. 16:11 Please do reply to the mailing list. 16:12 is this all? 16:13 That's all I had, thanks. 16:13 cool. I think that's it for this meeting then 16:13 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
