17:01 <rbasak> Any comments? Feature freeze is August 21. It will probably start creeping up on us now.

17:01 <jamespage> debian import freeze is soonish as well
17:02 <jamespage> rbasak, do you reckon
17:02 <matsubara> o/
17:02 <rbasak> We're working on getting all the important outstanding merges done. Usually by sprinting together on Fridays in #ubuntu-server. All welcome.
17:02 <kickinz1> o/
17:02 <jamespage> that we will make the switch to 5.6 this cycle?
17:02 <jamespage> for mysql?
17:02 <rbasak> Yeah Debian Import Freeze not long away now.
17:02 <rbasak> I've been looking at mysql 5.6 today.
17:02 <jamespage> awesome
17:02 -!- lutostag has joined #ubuntu-meeting
17:02 <rbasak> Any other comments?
17:03 <rbasak> The mysql conversation is proceeding btw, but I think it less likely now that the /var/lib/mysql/ change will happen this cycle (if it happens at all, as it's still under debate)
17:03 <rbasak> But we can land 5.6 in the same manner as 5.5 for now.

17:06 <smoser> o/
17:06 <jamespage> I have something for this section if smb or sforshee don't have
17:06 <rharper> o/
17:06 <sforshee> I don't have any updates. smb doesn't seem to be present.
17:06 <rbasak> jamespage: go ahead
17:06 <jamespage> so... this is my bad as I dropped the ball that smb started a while back
17:07 <jamespage> iscsitarget on 12.04 - dkms has been bust with HWE kernels
17:07 <jamespage> there was general consensus that backporting 14.04 version was the right way to go and some good testing from a community user
17:07 <jamespage> I've uploaded that for SRU team review today
17:07 <jamespage> apologies - that took way to long
17:08 <jamespage> bug 1262712
17:08 <ubottu> bug 1262712 in iscsitarget (Ubuntu Precise) "[SRU] Backport iscsitarget 1.4.20.3+svn499 into Precise" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1262712
17:08 <rbasak> Thanks jamespage - nice to see that being fixed
17:08 -!- bdrung_work [~bdrung_wo@62.217.45.26] has quit [Quit: Verlassend]
17:08 <rbasak> I've also seen some discussion (eg. earlier today in #ubuntu-server) on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1346917
17:08 <ubottu> Ubuntu bug 1346917 in linux (Ubuntu Trusty) "Using KSM on NUMA capable machines can cause KVM guest performance and stability issues" [High,Fix committed]
17:08 <rbasak> I know a fix is in the works for Trusty, but hasn't landed yet.
17:08 <jamespage> that's a critical one and arges is doing a great job on driving that forwards
17:09 <rbasak> I could find the kernel SRU cadence documented from the link in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Kernel
17:09 <rbasak> Does anyone know what the schedule is currently, or better have a link to it?
17:09 <jamespage> sforshee, ^^ ?
17:09 <smoser> i always just load https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
17:09 <sforshee> I don't know where we are in the cadence for sure, I suggest asking bjf
17:10 <bjf> jamespage, rbasak, i'm currently packaging up a kernel with that fix. should be uploaded today
17:10 <bjf> jamespage, rbasak (very soon now)
17:10 <rbasak> bjf: to trusty-proposed? That's great - thanks!
17:10 <jamespage> bjf, thanks!
17:10 <rbasak> bjf: though do you know where the normal cadence is documented? That's one thing I couldn't find and wanted to point people to.
17:10 <bjf> rbasak, jamespage the plan is for it to hit -updates on Aug. 8. the day after 12.04.5
17:11 <jamespage> great
17:11 <jamespage> bjf, so it would be included in 12.04.5?
17:11 <jamespage> sorry - being dumb...
17:11 <rbasak> Sounds like it'll miss 12.04.5?
17:11 <jamespage> 12.04.5 being the 3.13 HWE release right?
17:11 <bjf> rbasak, the only way to know the dates for the next cadence is to be subscribed to kernel-sru-announce mailing list
17:11 <bjf> jamespage, will not be in 12.04.5
17:11 <jamespage> hmm
17:12 <bjf> jamespage, that's why there will be an update the next day
17:12 <jamespage> ok
17:12 <rbasak> bjf: I can point them to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-sru-announce/ I guess then - thanks!
17:12 <smoser> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-sru-announce/2014-July/thread.html
17:12 <smoser> yeah, bjf. thanks for that.
17:12 -!- victorp [~victorp@2.123.104.132] has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
17:13 <smoser> bjf, could you, or someone on your team possibly update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates to point to that mailing list ?
17:13 <smoser> i'd not seen that documented previously (but that coudl be user error)
17:13 <rbasak> Meanwhile, any other kernel-related questions or comments?
17:13 <bjf> smoser, since it's a wiki, you can do it :-)

17:14 <rbasak> smb: o/
17:14 <smb> Just about...
17:14 <rbasak> smb: we're just about to finish the kernel topic. Did you have any comments?
17:14 <smb> Just remembered
17:15 <smb> I had nothing in particular. Just for zul and hallyn about the request for libvirt stuff back to Debian
17:15 <smb> I would be interested to learn there if one of you does something (or help)
17:16 <rbasak> I guess zul and hallyn have no comment right now. Thanks smb!
