- couchdb on lucid: backport 1.0
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2010-November/000563.html
UbuntuOne cloud servers got updated to couchdb 1.0 to handle the load and SSL
According to README and James Westby, the 0.10 -> 1.0 upgrade needs to be done manually for the system wide instance
- Impact on per-user couchdbs to be clarified
- API is said to not have changed "much", but any change will break existing couchdb applications, and thus needs to be clarified and evaluated
- will cause problems with shared home directories and clients with mixed 1.0/0.1 packages
- To be investigated by U1 team: introduce couchdb-1.0 package into lucid; what other packages need to be changed, what's the impact?
- To be re-discussed at next meeting with more information on the wiki page
- ARB exception proposal
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PostReleaseApps/MaverickExceptionsProposal
- Public python libraries shouldn't be a matter for these packages
- Private libraries could be kept in the app dir by setting sys.path
- Can quickly templates be updated in lucid to automatically add the application dir to sys.path?
- Non-quickly apps would have a requirement to set this up by themselves; is that practical?
- .pyc files are not a must, so we could ship maverick packages without them
- general opinion was that making an exception for desktop files only would be okay
- Some discussion whether using a vendor prefix in /opt would make sense
- Next chair: sabdfl (carried over)

- KDE microversion SRU docs - done
couchdb lucid backport SRU - John Lenton
- Continuation from the previous meeting
- We enumerated options for the Ubuntu One team to restore lost functionality in Ubuntu 10.04 resulting from the CouchDB 1.0 server-side update. The options supported by the TB members present were:
- option 1: parallel package couchdb 1.0, update desktopcouch to use it, and release via SRU exception
- option 3: update couchdb to 1.0 in backports, superseding 0.1 in lucid
- option 4: do nothing, focus on natty, move on
- The U1 team will decide which option to pursue based on available resources and business considerations
ARB exception proposal - Allison Randal
- Continuation from the previous meeting
- Allison's proposal was supported by the TB members present:
- Allow .desktop files to be installed outside /opt.
- In Natty, we'll modify Quickly, cdbs, python-support, and related packages o support installation in /opt.
- For Maverick, accept that .pyc files and version symlinks won't be generated for Python libraries.
- For Maverick, ARB will perform manual package fixes on proposed applications, to install in /opt and load libraries from /opt.
- Binaries only in /opt (no exceptions for Maverick), will not be in $PATH.
- Official install location is /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/ (with version number? i.e. "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/foo-1.5")
