Merges and init script

mathiaz reminded that the archive is opened and merging is the main focus of the developers for now. kirkland added that checking if init scripts have a status action is welcome. If not adding one would be appreciated - steps to do so are outline on the InitScriptsStatusActions wiki page. A lot of packages have already been updated during the intrepid release cycle. More work is needed though.

[16:10] <MootBot> New Topic:  Get rid of old libdb versions
[16:11] <mathiaz> ScottK started to look into that task during hardy.
[16:11] <mathiaz> It seems that there is still some work to be done, but the list of packages to be updated needs to be updated firs.t
[16:13] <mathiaz> zul: do you know the status of this migration^^?
[16:14] <zul> mathiaz:I think most of them are done already openldap is a different case
[16:15] <mathiaz> zul: correct - openldap is trickier. I'll look into that issue once I update openldap to 2.4.12.
[16:15] <zul> the list definently needs to be updated though
[16:15] <mathiaz> zul: could you go over the list of packages in the roadmap and update it?
[16:16] <zul> mathiaz: yep
[16:16] <mathiaz> [ACTION] zul to update the list of packages depending on libdb.

[16:18] <nxvl> \o/
[16:18] <nxvl> ok
[16:18] <nxvl> we have come to a good state of the lenses
[16:18] <nxvl> we have a bunch, raphink has been closely working with upstream for this
[16:18] <nxvl> also upstream is going very well
[16:19] <nxvl> this summer (south american here!) i will have planty of time for doing that
[16:19] <nxvl> so i hope to have the whole set of needed lenses for feature freeze
[16:19] <nxvl> and as always help is really welcomed
[16:19] <mathiaz> nxvl: is the list of lenses to create up-to-date on the wiki page?
[16:19] <nxvl> is not hard to write those
[16:19] <nxvl> yep
[16:19] <nxvl> let me grab the link
[16:20] <nxvl> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCentralizedServiceAdministrator/Augeas
[16:20] <nxvl> actually the tracking of the upstream lenses list is being done by me on tha wiki page AFAIR
[16:20] <mathiaz> ok - so work to create more lenses will continue during this release cycle
[16:20] <nxvl> i updates that 2 weeks ago and there are no new lenses that i'm aware of
[16:20] <nxvl> mathiaz: yes
[16:21] <mathiaz> nxvl: great. Thanks for tracking this task!

[16:21] <mathiaz> [TOPIC] Update ServerGuide for Jaunty
[16:21] <MootBot> New Topic:  Update ServerGuide for Jaunty
[16:21] <mathiaz> sommer: I've updated the roadmap with a link to a spec
[16:21] <mathiaz> sommer: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyServerGuide
[16:22] <mathiaz> sommer: however that wiki page ^^ doesn't exist yet
[16:22] <sommer> mathiaz: cool, I can create that based on some things that didn't get into the Intrepid guide
[16:22] <mathiaz> sommer: do you have ideas/plans for the Server Guide in Jaunty?
[16:22] <sommer> mathiaz: a few, and I think there are more in the server team idea pool page
[16:23] <mathiaz> sommer: great - could you start to move them to the wiki page?
[16:23] <sommer> mathiaz: sure will do
[16:23] <mathiaz> sommer: so that we can get an overview for the work to be done for Jaunty
[16:23] <mathiaz> [ACTION] sommer to create a spec for the ServerGuide update in Jaunty
[16:23] <MootBot> ACTION received:  sommer to create a spec for the ServerGuide update in Jaunty
[16:23] <kwwii> erm
[16:23] <kwwii> sorry
[16:24] <mathiaz> sommer: any news on when the server guide for 8.10 will be put on help.u.c ?
[16:25] <sommer> mathiaz: not entirely sure, but I think mdke replied to a bug saying that the files were ready and waiting to be moved to the live server
[16:25] <mathiaz> sommer: ok.
[16:25] <mathiaz> anything else related to the server guide in Jaunty?
[16:26] <sommer> I think that's all
[16:26] <mathiaz> ok.
[16:26] <mathiaz> [TOPIC] Merges
[16:26] <MootBot> New Topic:  Merges
[16:26] <mathiaz> As you may have noticed, the archive is open for jaunty
[16:27] <mathiaz> so it's mergin time again
[16:27] <mathiaz> I'll prepare a list of "easy" merges again
[16:28] <mathiaz> as usual follow the Merging guidelines
[16:28] <mathiaz> outlined on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging
[16:29] <mathiaz> well - that's all I have on the Roadmap
[16:29] <mathiaz> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Roadmap
[16:30] <mathiaz> anyone wants to add anything related to items on the Roadmap?
[16:30] <kirkland> when doing merges, perhaps check if the package has an init script, see if it has a status action ;-)
[16:30] <kirkland> and add one during the merge, if it doesn't ;-)
[16:30] <mathiaz> if not - just ping kirkland - he will be glad to add one for you ;)
[16:31] <mathiaz> kirkland: what's the wiki page used to track the status action?
[16:32] <mathiaz> kirkland: IIRC there are some intructions there on how to add a status action to init scripts
[16:32] <nxvl> i think kirkland had a wiki page were it was explained how to add one
[16:32] <kirkland> mathiaz: that page needs an update for Jaunty
[16:32] <nxvl> and it's really easy AFAIR
[16:32] <kirkland> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InitScriptStatusActions
[16:32] <kirkland> you can also run: "service --status-all" on your system
[16:33] <kirkland> and see what init scripts are missing status actions
[16:33] <mathiaz> kirkland: what needs to be updated?
[16:33] <mathiaz> kirkland: the list of packages?
[16:33] <zul> kirkland: is it just for packages in main that you are going to do the init script stuff or for universe as well?
[16:33] <kirkland> mathiaz: i need to crossref that wiki page, and ensure it's accurate for Jaunty
[16:34] <kirkland> zul: both;  main with more emphasis, I'd think
[16:34] <zul> kirkland: ok
[16:34] <kirkland> zul: but i'm happy to review/sponsor universe fixes myself
[16:34] <mathiaz> [ACTION] kirkland to update the init status action wiki page
[16:34] <MootBot> ACTION received:  kirkland to update the init status action wiki page
[16:35] <mathiaz> kirkland: I think packages marked as FIXED can be removed from the wiki page
[16:35] <kirkland> mathiaz: okay
[16:35] <kirkland> mathiaz: actually, it helps point to other scripts that you can emulate
[16:36] <mathiaz> kirkland: good point. May be moving them a different section then
[16:36] <mathiaz> kirkland: like - some examples:
[16:36] <kirkland> mathiaz: sounds good!
[16:36] <mathiaz> kirkland: thanks for keeping track of this!
