(10:07:25 AM) ***slangasek sneaks into the back
(10:07:33 AM) robbiew: do we do any bluetooth testing as part of the hardware tests?
(10:08:02 AM) marjo: robbiew: manual testing only
(10:08:03 AM) ***jdstrand nods to slangasek
(10:08:27 AM) robbiew: how recently have we tested it...because it appears to be broken currently :/
(10:08:32 AM) robbiew: though I know it WAS working
(10:09:23 AM) marjo: robbiew: we're going to do manual testing based on alpha3, so we'll report again later
(10:10:05 AM) robbiew: ok...I think I already know the results :P
(10:10:14 AM) robbiew: one more question
(10:10:34 AM) robbiew: are all the machines in the daily-bootcharts running Ubuntu Desktop?
(10:10:38 AM) robbiew: or are some running UNE
(10:10:49 AM) fader_: robbiew: We do bluetooth as part of the manual tests
(10:10:59 AM) robbiew: is there an echo in here?
(10:11:00 AM) robbiew: lol
(10:11:11 AM) fader_: Heh, sorry, missed marjo's answer :)
(10:11:22 AM) marjo: robbiew: per earlier agreement, we run desktop edition on desktops & UNE on netbooks
(10:11:28 AM) ameetp: robbiew: daily-bootcharts some run UNE
(10:11:32 AM) robbiew: okay, perfect
(10:11:51 AM) marjo: robbiew: is this report format ok with you?
(10:11:51 AM) robbiew: could we somehow note the ones running UNE...doesn't need to be fancy
(10:12:02 AM) robbiew: a simple "*" by the name would work for me
(10:12:08 AM) ameetp: robbiew: ack. I will make that edit
(10:12:15 AM) robbiew: thnx
(10:12:15 AM) marjo: robbiew: we'll do for next report

(10:12:30 AM) robbiew: marjo: yeah...looking good
(10:13:13 AM) marjo: robbiew: that's it for 10.10
(10:13:19 AM) robbiew: ameetp: would also be good if we could have separate averages for machines running Ubuntu Desktop and those running UNE
(10:13:24 AM) robbiew: marjo: thnx
(10:13:58 AM) robbiew: ameetp: asking so that we can catch any regressions that affect UNE or Desktop *only*...helps in chasing down the problem
(10:14:04 AM) robbiew: any questions for QA?
(10:14:09 AM) ameetp: robbiew: sure
(10:14:33 AM) ScottK: There was some discussion about getting some Kubuntu boot charts in there a few weeks ago.
(10:14:39 AM) ScottK: That'd still be nice.
(10:15:00 AM) robbiew: there was?.../me must have been out
(10:15:03 AM) marjo: ScottK: agree, still investigating
(10:15:09 AM) ScottK: OK.
(10:15:10 AM) robbiew: ScottK: sorry...or I would have made a note of it
(10:15:21 AM) ScottK: No problem. marjo's on it.
(10:15:36 AM) robbiew: and by marjo...that means ameetp :P

(10:16:47 AM) jdstrand: No milestoned bugs. As I've mentioned before, blueprints for the cycle are generally slipping due to high/complicated security update load. That said, we pushed before FF for several time-sensitive work items and got them in. For what remains we will continue to get to what we can while postponing others.
(10:17:05 AM) jdstrand: Next week, mdeslaur will be uploading -proposed packages for security-m-tls-renegotiation-updates, our last remaining essential blueprint.
(10:17:19 AM) jdstrand: As for milestoned blueprints, I finished the libvirt 0.8.3 merge this week and kees is continuing to work on his 4 remaining work items for the arm security blueprints. It is slow going without physical access to hardware though.
(10:17:36 AM) jdstrand: We have one release-targeted bug: bug #545795. There is a patch for pci devices, but it needs upstream review, which I hope to push upstream today or early next week. I just need to find the time to work on the hostdev part.

(10:19:33 AM) ogasawara: On the specs noted in the agenda, status is as follows:
(10:19:45 AM) ogasawara: * kernel-maverick-apparmor: 83% complete. The remaining userspace log parsing bits are progressing nicely and should be compelted by Beta.
(10:19:56 AM) ogasawara: * kernel-maverick-pv-ops-ec2-kernel: 75% complete. The -virtual kernel has been enabled as a pv-ops kernel on EC2. This does not include the pv-on-HVM drivers which are required for Amazon's Compute Cloud. pv-on-HVM is currently being evaluated and we expect this to be completed in time for Beta.
(10:20:09 AM) ogasawara: On the bugs noted in the agenda, status is as follows:
(10:20:16 AM) ogasawara: Bug 591941 - mpoirier is discussing a resolution with the upstream developers. It appears this issue was the result of a separate upstream fix.
(10:20:18 AM) ubottu: Launchpad bug 591941 in linux (Ubuntu Maverick) "SDHC card not recognized" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/591941
(10:20:27 AM) ogasawara: Bug 595489 - A patch has been accepted upstream and expected to land in upstream stable v2.6.35.2. We'll rebase Maverick to v2.6.35.2 which will subsequently resolve this issue. I expect this to be resolved prior to Beta. For Lucid, the patch is already Fix Committed and undergoing the SRU process.

(10:21:14 AM) ogasawara: As a general status, we've stabilized on upstream v2.6.35 final and will pull 2.6.35.y stable updates from here on out. We've already rebased to upstream stable v2.6.35.1, ie linux-2.6.35-15.21, and I expect upstream stable v2.6.35.2 to land relatively soon. We are above the trend line for our Beta release burndown chart but below the trend line overall. The remaining Beta release work items are not release critical.
(10:21:32 AM) ogasawara: Questions?
(10:22:26 AM) robbiew: and we are waiting for the TB's decision on dropping SPARC and IA64?
(10:22:38 AM) ogasawara: robbiew: yes, per ScottK's request.
(10:22:55 AM) ScottK: It's on their agenda, so it seemed reasonable.
(10:22:55 AM) ogasawara: robbiew: but I'm ready to pull the trigger :)
(10:22:59 AM) ***robbiew thought they already decided this via a vote on the mailing list...but maybe that was a vote to start the process
(10:23:10 AM) robbiew: ScottK: ack...no worries
(10:24:06 AM) robbiew: any questions for kernel?

(10:26:48 AM) robbiew: go ahead...I'll try to cover
(10:26:50 AM) jdstrand: I was going to ask the server team, but foundations is probably who will fix it
(10:27:30 AM) jdstrand: basically, bug #563916 and the related bug #613562 are *really painful* for servers on lucid and presumably maverick

(10:29:17 AM) robbiew: jdstrand: thnx...I'll chase them down
(10:29:24 AM) jdstrand: I really just wanted to bring those up since it affects server systems primarily, but also others where you can't use plymouth themes
(10:29:32 AM) jdstrand: (well)
(10:29:49 AM) jdstrand: robbiew: thanks

(10:31:19 AM) robbiew: heh
(10:31:20 AM) ScottK: We need to talk about Python too.
(10:31:31 AM) robbiew: okay
(10:31:35 AM) robbiew: talk away
(10:31:37 AM) robbiew: :)
(10:31:46 AM) ScottK: doko and barry want 2.7 as a supported (but not default) version in Maverick.
(10:32:17 AM) ScottK: I agreed not to curl up in a ball and scream over it since barry promised to fix stuff.
(10:32:24 AM) slangasek: jdstrand: AFAIK there's no situation in which you can't use a plymouth theme that will let you interact with fsck; this is entirely an artifact of the choice to disable 'splash' at boot time (and even then, hitting 'esc' is enough to pull up the regular theme)
(10:32:37 AM) ScottK: We're now past FFe and it didn't get enabled as a supported version.
(10:32:47 AM) slangasek: jdstrand: (I absolutely agree with you that this is a problematic bug, I just disagree with your characterization of it, which is a common one :)
(10:32:54 AM) robbiew: hmm...fair point
(10:33:13 AM) ScottK: So that needs to get decided and decided soon.
(10:33:20 AM) robbiew: agreed
(10:33:45 AM) ***ScottK isn't screaming NO, but isn't so enamored of the idea that he's going to be the one to do the upload.
(10:34:05 AM) ScottK: That's all I have on that.
(10:34:28 AM) jdstrand: slangasek: if you see my comments in the second bug, I came across some situations that were a problem. but ultimately, I have no fsck output. it could be sitting there waiting for me to interact with it. I can't. Maybe I'll remember 'Esc' or 'M' or whatever, maybe not. it is a poor user experience
(10:34:33 AM) robbiew: well...having shared the pain of past Python transitions....I understand ;)
(10:34:46 AM) seb128: seems we should delay that to next cycle, will create lot of rebuilds, extra CD uses, etc
(10:34:52 AM) robbiew: ack
(10:34:57 AM) jdstrand: slangasek: the first time someone hits it, they are really mad, and probably will remember for next time. I thnk we can do better
(10:34:57 AM) slangasek: jdstrand: yep, it is :(
(10:35:04 AM) seb128: we seems to be running behind already and some teams lack staff to fill in gaps
(10:35:31 AM) seb128: we should really focus on stabilizing now

(10:41:23 AM) seb128: our beta trend is a bit behind on the graph but it's not true
(10:41:33 AM) seb128: we have some server team items on there
(10:41:42 AM) seb128: otherwise we got quite a lot done this week
(10:41:53 AM) seb128: xorg transitioned to the new 1.9
(10:41:57 AM) seb128: GNOME has been updated
(10:42:04 AM) seb128: (now that GNOME decided to pull a stable 2.32)
(10:42:15 AM) seb128: the gobject introspection stack has been updated
(10:42:51 AM) seb128: didrocks put lot of efforts to get openoffice updated in maverick as well
(10:43:13 AM) seb128:
(10:43:22 AM) seb128: specs are on shape
(10:43:37 AM) seb128: we postpone the language selector changes to next cycle
(10:43:41 AM) seb128: and the empathy ones
(10:43:56 AM) seb128: software-center ui is feature complete for maverick
(10:44:02 AM) seb128:
(10:44:04 AM) seb128: that's it
(10:44:05 AM) seb128: questions?
(10:44:16 AM) seb128: (I guess Riddell or ScottK will do a Kubuntu update)
(10:44:28 AM) ***ScottK looks at Riddell.
(10:45:01 AM) ***ScottK imagines Riddell went for a coffee and starts.
(10:45:08 AM) ScottK: Got KDE 4.5.0 final in now.
(10:45:16 AM) ScottK: Still blocked on armel by kdebindings.
(10:45:35 AM) ScottK: We have yet to have an armel image this cycle, so this is getting to be a really big deal.
(10:46:08 AM) ScottK: Riddell is working on updating the KDE Ubiquity front end to match the new design.
(10:46:11 AM) ScottK: That's all.
(10:46:30 AM) ogra: ScottK, hmm, i thought qt was fixed to not expose the qreal issues anymore
(10:46:48 AM) ScottK: ogra: I don't think we can do that without breaking ABI.
(10:47:07 AM) ogra: which is what upstream requested from us, but NCommander was blocking it
(10:47:32 AM) ogra: and since he is the QT/KDE expert in our team ...
(10:47:46 AM) ScottK: I don't have a strong opinion on how to solve it. It's getting critical to get it solved one way or the other.
(10:48:03 AM) doko left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
(10:48:21 AM) ScottK: If we're going to have to rebuild all the Qt reverse build depends, we need to get started ...
(10:49:01 AM) ScottK: robbiew: Could we have an action assigned with a deadline to someone who can solve this?
(10:49:13 AM) Riddell: doh, missed my slot, sorry
(10:49:15 AM) ogra: well, there are just two options, a) update QT as upstream asked for b) update *all* the kde patches we carry to work again
(10:49:50 AM) ogra: NCommander, wanted to go for b) but then got some additional work to do that requires a lot of travelling
(10:49:52 AM) ScottK: OK. Pick one and let's move forward.
(10:50:32 AM) ogra: i cant really judge how much time he will have for it but would actually like to leave it in his hands
(10:51:00 AM) Riddell: why do KDE patches need to be updated? rather I think b) is keep writing patches as problems occur
(10:51:12 AM) Riddell: (we don't carry much in the way of patches, they go upstream)
(10:51:17 AM) ScottK: So far kdebindings is the only known issue in Main.
(10:51:34 AM) ogra: Riddell, afaik we have all these patches for qlist/qreal vs double already
(10:51:51 AM) ScottK: ogra: Most of them have gone upstream.
(10:52:00 AM) ogra: but since kdebindings ftbfs on such an issue something seems wrong with the patches
(10:52:21 AM) ScottK: kdebindings is specially full of fail.
(10:52:26 AM) ScottK: It's just a tough one.
(10:53:00 AM) ogra: well, NCommander wrote the patches initially, no matter where they live, he is surely the best to update them
(10:53:40 AM) ScottK: Right so it would be nice if his work prioritization was such that he could do that.
(10:54:08 AM) ogra: i cant move any of his new items atm and he doesnt seem to be here to talk for himself
(10:54:17 AM) ogra: lets take it to a mail discussion
(10:54:53 AM) ogra: so we can move on
(10:55:53 AM) slangasek: is there a summary of this issue written down somewhere? We might find someone among the Linaro folks who would be willing to help work through it
(10:55:56 AM) ScottK: Nothing to discuss.
(10:56:10 AM) slangasek: but I wouldn't like to point them at "Qt+KDE" without an explanation of what needs solving
(10:56:17 AM) ogra: slangasek, well, it was always in NCommanders hands and i doubt he wroite down what he did
(10:56:45 AM) ogra: slangasek, asac has had lots of discussions witrh QT upstream though, he can give you some insight on the linaro side
(10:56:50 AM) slangasek: ok
(10:56:51 AM) ScottK: dyfet has also looked at it some.
(10:57:35 AM) ogra: dyfet, couls you take that task and fix kdebindings ?
(10:57:39 AM) ogra: *could even
(10:57:40 AM) ScottK: The actual build failure in kdebindings seems a knock on effect of problems in sip4, but I don't know details.
(10:58:31 AM) dyfet: ogra: yes, I recall it was a sip related/prototype issue
(10:58:42 AM) ogra: dyfet, awesome
(10:58:54 AM) ogra: ScottK, so dyfet is your man ;)
(10:59:21 AM) ScottK: ogra: I don't control anyone's work schedule that can fix it. I just want it done.
(10:59:31 AM) ogra: ScottK, indeed
(11:00:39 AM) robbiew: so what's the plan here
(11:00:53 AM) ogra: robbiew, dyfet takes care
(11:01:08 AM) robbiew: dyfet: is that correct?
(11:01:14 AM) dyfet: yes
(11:01:20 AM) ogra: probably together with someone from linaro if slangasek agrees
(11:01:44 AM) slangasek: I don't control the work schedule of most of the people who would work on Qt, either :)
(11:01:54 AM) doko [~doko@dslb-088-074-017-089.pools.arcor-ip.net] entered the room.
(11:02:02 AM) slangasek: but if someone can define the problem for me, I can poke around
(11:02:42 AM) ogra: right, asac can define the problem and both solutions, he knows even more details than me
(11:03:22 AM) ogra: but in any case we have an owner of the task now, so i think we're good to move on
(11:03:57 AM) robbiew: [ACTION] dyfet to solve all ScottK's problems :)
(11:03:58 AM) MootBot: ACTION received: dyfet to solve all ScottK's problems :)
(11:04:01 AM) ogra: lol
(11:04:09 AM) ScottK: Ooh.
(11:04:12 AM) ***ScottK starts a list.
(11:04:18 AM) dyfet: all??! ;)
(11:04:40 AM) robbiew: anything else for Kubuntu?
(11:04:46 AM) ScottK: Not from me.
(11:04:46 AM) robbiew: questions for Desktop?
(11:05:18 AM) kees [~kees@ubuntu/member/keescook] entered the room.
(11:05:21 AM) seb128: I guess that's a no ;-)
(11:05:25 AM) robbiew: seb128: btw, I mentioned the bluetooth issue to superm1...he noted that the plumbing stuff 18hrs ago
(11:05:32 AM) robbiew: :/
(11:05:48 AM) seb128: what 18 hours ago?
(11:06:01 AM) seb128: you mean it's due to yesterday's update?
(11:06:18 AM) seb128: we need somebody to maintain the bt userland stack
(11:06:39 AM) seb128: I was talked to rickspencer3 earlier about that
(11:06:46 AM) robbiew: agreed
(11:06:56 AM) robbiew: neither Foundations nor Desktop has anyone to do it
(11:07:04 AM) seb128: if you have a bug due to the update please assign to the desktop team
(11:07:07 AM) seb128: we will deal with it
(11:07:25 AM) robbiew: rickspencer3 and I know we need to sort this out
(11:07:34 AM) seb128: ok, thanks
(11:07:42 AM) robbiew: between the hiring we both have...there's no reason why we can't

(11:09:31 AM) seb128: hey tedg ;-)
(11:09:52 AM) seb128: tedg, that's where you do a summary of what dx did this week and where your specs stand
(11:09:53 AM) tedg: So there's this Unity thing you guys may have heard about, yeah, so we're doing that ;)
(11:10:04 AM) robbiew: heh
(11:10:23 AM) seb128: tedg, usually status is similar to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/MaverickReleaseStatus
(11:10:43 AM) seb128: not sure there is one this week
(11:10:50 AM) seb128: dbarth has been sprinting and is travelling now
(11:10:50 AM) tedg: I think overall we're in good shape. Sound has started to work with MPRIS v2 which is probably going to need a feature freeze exception.
(11:11:11 AM) tedg: But, the MPRIS v1 stuff is in good shape overall now. Even if v2 is better.
(11:11:56 AM) tedg: We've also update indicator-application to add some oft requested features, which required an lib bump, shouldn't be a big deal, but might require some rebuilds.
(11:12:18 AM) tedg: I imagine most things will get rebuild by themselves in time anyway, but we should watch to make sure the old lib leaves.
(11:12:26 AM) slangasek: (.oO "message passing really ionizes sound"?)
(11:12:43 AM) doko left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
(11:12:57 AM) tedg: On the appmenu front we've been working on performance and other clean up issues.
(11:13:07 AM) tedg: The big bug there is the desktop menu which will require a patch to nautilus.
(11:13:13 AM) Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-lunch
(11:14:11 AM) tedg: I think we're at the point of determining whether indicator-datetime is in desktop, and I'm guessing that decision is a no?
(11:14:30 AM) tedg: As we weren't able to complete the Evolution integration needed for the desktop release.
(11:14:54 AM) robbiew: is there a blueprint for indicator-datetime?
(11:14:57 AM) seb128: yeah, that's a "no"
(11:15:07 AM) tedg: robbiew, Yeah, let me look for it.

(11:21:06 AM) sistpoty|work: o/
(11:21:20 AM) ScottK: Help is, of course, appreciated from other release team members as they are available.

(11:22:26 AM) sistpoty|work: robbiew: that'd be excellent, I think we'll soonish be stuffed with workload on the FFe side

(11:29:27 AM) robbiew: \o/
(11:29:35 AM) slangasek: required some seed->task changes, which I had to work out how to make happen
(11:29:50 AM) slangasek: apparently by hacking cron.germinate to manually point it at lucid
(11:29:51 AM) mathiaz: slangasek: so you'll be responsible for spinning isos?
(11:30:09 AM) slangasek: the need for seed changes is because firefox, xulrunner, linux, and linux-firmware have all gotten bigger since 10.04
(11:30:13 AM) slangasek: this is not a good trend
(11:30:17 AM) ogra: only the right sized ones, not the left sized ones :P
(11:30:18 AM) slangasek: mathiaz: yessir
(11:30:58 AM) ScottK: Do we need to add a space reservation for respins in future LTS releases?
(11:31:01 AM) slangasek: I think our SRU tracker should spit out a warning about significant size increases in packages in main
(11:31:17 AM) ScottK: If so, someone should write that down so we remember in a year and a half.
(11:31:24 AM) slangasek: so that we can figure out what the deal is /before/ we get to a week before point release
(11:31:35 AM) jdstrand: unfortunately, the firefox ones were security updates
sladen slangasek
(11:32:14 AM) robbiew: slangasek: who maintains the SRU tracker?
(11:32:14 AM) slangasek: ScottK: IMHO the size increases are too unpredictable to make it worthwhile to reserve space
(11:32:25 AM) slangasek: robbiew: "the release team" (primarily pitti in the past)
(11:32:25 AM) jdstrand: (don't know if the SRU tracker would pick them up, presumably not)
(11:32:32 AM) slangasek: sorry, "the SRU team" :)
(11:32:35 AM) slangasek: jdstrand: dunno if it does
(11:32:45 AM) ScottK: OK.
(11:32:57 AM) slangasek: jdstrand: security updates> obviously - but why do security updates have to be bloated :)
(11:33:05 AM) ScottK: Because it's Firefox.

(11:34:01 AM) robbiew: slangasek: when's the last time we audited the packages in main?
(11:34:19 AM) robbiew: are we still sure we NEED them all there?
(11:34:36 AM) ScottK: robbiew: We did an audit of minimal/standard at the last UDS.
(11:34:57 AM) slangasek: robbiew: not so long ago - and this isn't even about all packages in main, this is the stuff in the default install, which does get a good deal of regular scrutiny
(11:35:06 AM) robbiew: ack
(11:35:09 AM) jdstrand: the server team reviewed their bits at UDS too
(11:35:29 AM) robbiew: can we make CDs just hold more data?
(11:35:30 AM) robbiew: lol
(11:35:35 AM) slangasek: yes

(11:35:50 AM) robbiew: heh
(11:36:12 AM) slangasek: (the sizing we use for our CDs is for least-common-denominator CDs; most CDs and CD drives handle a good 4MB more, IIRC)
(11:36:38 AM) robbiew: well..once Google and Verizon spread tiered internet around the world and we pay for Faster speeds...we can move to just DVDs
(11:36:55 AM) slangasek: so, we'll have images, and I'll post them to the tracker, but I guess we won't really have anybody available for testing until Monday?
