Review ACTION points from previous meeting

• re: rbasak noted that regarding mysql mysql-5.6 transition / abi infinity action, we decided to defer the 5.6 move for this cycle, as we felt it was too late given the ABI concerns.

16:04 <beisner>         so final beta & final beta freeze was last wk
16:05 <beisner>         next milestone in U release:  Oct 9  kernel freeze
16:05 <beisner>         any other points re: release schedule?
16:05 <smoser>          and we released beta of cloud images.  (http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/utopic/beta-2/)
16:06 <smoser>          well, we're in crunch time now.
16:06 <beisner>         great!  thanks smoser.
16:06 <smoser>          if you're aware of issues in ubuntu, now is the time to raise them to someone.
16:06 <beisner>         down to the wire indeed
16:06 <beisner>         speaking of...
16:06 <beisner>         #subtopic Release Bugs
16:07 <beisner>         #link http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-u-tracking-bug-tasks.html#ubuntu-server
16:07 <kickinz1>                confirm pb with bcache needing a reboot to discard the caching device
16:07 <beisner>         kickinz1, is there a bug?
16:08 <beisner>         no critical bugs atm, woot.
16:08 <beisner>         several bugs unassigned, do we need to pin that down?
16:09 <kickinz1>                yes if you do a mistake when creating a bcache device (ie swapping backing and caching, wrong backing) it still creats a bad bcache device, but you cannnot control it unti you poweroff the machine, to re-create it...
16:10 <kickinz1>                I'll chat with rbasak to know who to send this to
16:10 <beisner>         ok let's make sure we get a big filed
16:10 <beisner>         rewinding a sec...  there was an action item.  "rbasak to review mysql-5.6 transition plans with ABI breaks with infinity"
16:11 <beisner>         rbasak appears to be offline
16:11 <rbasak>          o/
16:12 <beisner>         hi !
16:12 <beisner>         rbasak, anything to note on review mysql-5.6 transition / abi infinity action?
16:12 <rbasak>          We decided to defer the 5.6 move for this cycle.
16:12 <beisner>         ok thank you
16:13 <rbasak>          We felt it was too late given the ABI concerns.
16:13 <beisner>         any other bug issues to raise or discuss?
16:13 <beisner>         moving on then

16:16 <caribou>         Hi, everything is good on my side, thanks
16:16 <beisner>         hi caribou
16:16 <beisner>         ack thank you
16:17 <beisner>         #topic Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (psivaa)
16:18 <beisner>         I see a lot of activity in qa iso tracker, looks like test cases are getting the usual late-cycle manual runs.
16:18 <beisner>         psivaa, anything else to note?
16:18 <beisner>         on to kernel...
16:18 <beisner>         #topic Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb, sforshee, arges)
16:18 <smb>             Hi. One thing I seem to hit in Utopic is that libvirt and xen init seem to be more affected to race against each other on boot up. Though I need to get more data there. Other than that I only wished I could make systemd-logind shut up about things I do not care about anyway (for good). Those attack my senses for a nice login on vt1...  :-P That's all. Questions?
16:19 <beisner>         smb is always sooo fast to respond!
16:19 * smb tries to be prepared
16:19 <hallyn>          he has an expect script
16:19 <smb>             oh yeah, should write a chat bot for myself
16:19 <smb>             :)
16:20 <beisner>         is this the real smb? [-.-]
16:20 <smb>             how do you think about the real smb?
16:21 <beisner>         does this smb bot have #vote?
16:21 <beisner>         ok anyway, any discussion re: libvirt xen init issue?
16:21 <smb>             beisner, no just for info
16:22 <smb>             I look into it
16:22 <beisner>         thanks smb
16:22 <beisner>         #topic Ubuntu Server Team Events
16:22 <beisner>         i don't think there are any to announce.

16:23 <beisner>         (quiet in here)
16:23 * beisner checks network connection
16:23 <beisner>         ok, i think we can all go back to crunch time.
