Lucid release status

FinalFreeze will hit us tomorrow, and then all uploads will need ReleaseTeam approval, so team members are advised to get every fix they can in by the end of the day. Here is the release-critical bugs status:

556343 (zul): mvo will run the test now again and once its finished, upload the syslog file
532733 (kirkland): forwarded upstream, haven’t made much progress on that one, not able to reproduce it easily (outside of the odd apt-get circumstance)
513273 (kirkland): uploaded fix was rejected, needs bug commenters to help do some testing on it against bochs
533029 (zul): pending on FFe
562261: sync approved, needs ArchiveAdmin action

Slow progress in the remaining work items in the specs. Eucalyptus merging and packaging should be complete today today, the others are assumed to still be on track.

Once those higher-priority items are taken care of, you can work on Lucid targets of opportunity. You can find a list of those on the release status page, or go directly to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+bugs for the complete list. The server team side of the release is appearing to be mostly in good shape, though more testing would not hurt, team members are encouraged to blog/call for that.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team

hggdh is still working on the issue preventing the UEC test rig to successfully run Topology 2 tests. mathiaz and kirkland will help him debug that. He is slowed down by a kernel issue preventing his KVM to work correctly (needs to try out the latest kernel). The ISO testcases are good since beta2 and should not change until release. hggdh also started to work on the EC2 tests, jump-starting from smoser’s work.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team

jjohansen reported that bug 530361 (support for DELL H200/H700/H800 SAS cards) was fixed in time for KernelFreeze. The remaining big issue is bug 546743, servers with ATI ES1000 cards don’t get anything on console. jjohansen is still investigating options but we are now past KernelFreeze, which reduces our choices. This can be rolled into a new kernel, workarounded in a kernel cmdline set at install-time, or mentioned in the release notes and shipped in a kernel SRU.

Weekly SRU review

zul conducted a quick review that didn’t end up with anything new accepted for SRU. The recently-fixed server bugs query is still broken and cannot be used. Note that zul plans to discuss SRU handling at next UDS.

Open discussion

zul mentioned he has been working on getting mysql-5.0 out of universe, and it should be ready to be removed from universe today. Some team members reported starting to have classic pre-release sleep trouble.

Announce next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Wednesday, April 21st at 14:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

Server Team 20100331 meeting minutes

Апрель 1st, 2010

Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online
with the irc logs here.

Beta2 status

ttx reminded everyone that Beta2 Freeze was around the corner.

There are a few beta2-targeted bugs:

Bug 292971 (mathiaz). It will probably require a BetaFreezeException.
Bug 493593 (zul)
Bug 408402 (zul)
Bug 532733 (kirkland)

Most of the Work Items targeted for beta2 are not impacted by the BetaFreeze, except for:

puppet/uec-ec2: integrate upstream patches for testsuite (mathiaz). Patches are available from upstream. However mathiaz may not have time to integrate them in time for BetaFreeze.
id-mgt-ref-env: package latest sssd (mathiaz): He may not have the time to package this bug-fix-only update before BetaFreeze.

ttx mentioned the addition of a work item covering libvirt compatibility testing. kirkland said he planned to work on libvirt with jdstrand a full day.

ScottK added that clamav reached RC2 for version 0.96. Testing is welcome and packages are available from the ubuntu-clamav PPA.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team

hggdh reported he had run the stress and scalability testing on the UEC testing network for Beta1. There are 2 topologies left for testing. Multi-network testing still requires a lot of manual steps. kirkland mentioned that he had the hardware to test multi-network but testing that topology was time consuming.

ttx asked about adding UEC topologies test cases to the QA tracker. hggdh replied he would add them today.

hggdh wondered whether the daily -server isos should be tested on a regular basis. ttx replied that pre/post milestones were the most important images to test. If the tests are fully automated and don’t require a lot of hand-holding running them on the dailies could be useful.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen)

jjohansen reported that two bugs related to EC2 had been fixed in the latest kernel upload. Soft lockups are caused by a variety of things but they shouldn’t happen near as often.

Server Papercuts status for beta2

ttx reported that 8 bugs were fixed while 2 were left open. ttx would like to discuss how successful the project was and if it should be done again, even on non-LTS cycles. He also confirmed that the project was now closed for this cycle and new nominations wouldn’t be accepted anymore.

Bug zapping status (kirkland)

kirkland reported a successful UEC bug zap from last week. mathiaz mentioned he was running a MysQL Bug zap this week.

Community participation has been rather low for both the bug zapping and server paper cut projects. A session at the next UDS should be dedicated to improve Community participation.

Information about server survey (nijaba)

nijaba reported that the result of the Server survey were available to anyone in the community that might need it.

UDS-M topics

ScottK brought up the idea of having a session at UDS on what we wanted the next LTS to look like to have an idea of longer term stuff.

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Wednesday, April 7th at 14:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

Server Team 20100303 meeting minutes

Март 3rd, 2010

Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online
with the irc logs here.

Review ACTION points from previous meeting

kirkland to publish tentative bugzapping roadmap: Done, will be updated.

Beta1 status review

ttx informed everyone that we are at the beginning of the beta1 subcycle… but not very far from the end of it. Thursday next week is Beta1Freeze, a hard freeze before the Beta1 release, so most uploads should be made before that date. For reference, the beta1-targeted blueprints are tracked at http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/canonical-server-ubuntu-10.04-beta-1.html

smoser reported that the EBS root support was on track, with all tools moved over to using the new api tools.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)

hggdh reported that the build in MySQL regression PPA was still failing, and zul confirmed that he was working on it. hggdh didn’t have the time to look into the UEC test rig yet, but will do this week (the idea being that he should be able to run the post-A3, pre-beta1 UEC tests). hggdh also reported good progress on mastering the automated ISO testing framework soren was previously working on.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen)

jjohansen reported bug 527208 outstanding, blocking boot on c1.xlarge type instances in EC2: it should hopefully be fixed this week. mathiaz brought his request for creating vlan modules for d-i (bug 530459) to the kernel team attention.

Server Papercuts (ttx)

14 bugs were targeted for the first papercuts fixing campaign, which will end on Beta1Freeze, Thursday next week. Everyone is welcome to assign themselves some of those bugs, which are usually easy to fix. ScottK offered support in helping fixing the amavisd-new bugs.

There is still some room in the second campaign (beta2), so people should keep on nominating their favorite annoyance as a bug also affecting the “Server papercuts” project. In the nomination list, bug 211915 was accepted and assigned to sommer for the beta2 campaign.

Bugzapping (kirkland)

kirkland reported good progress on the current kvm bugzapping effort, and now Lucid’s kvm package appears to be in good shape. He might not have time to get around to libvirt, where there’s a lot more open bugs, due to other pressing work. A eucalyptus bugzapping week is also already planned. Other bugzapping efforts will have to be organized by other people.

In order to encourage that, the bugzapping format will be slightly simplified to lower the barrier of entry: you should target as a group a single package and spend a minimum of 2 days on it (Triaging / Bugfixing), ideally 3 days. People interested in chairing such an effort should edit the ServerLucidBugZapping wikipage.

kirkland also mentioned that bugzapping was a great way for community members in companies that care about the shape of a particular package to get involved: you should consider asking your boss/work for 2-3 days to focus on Ubuntu XYZ package where XYZ is the key package that your company/business/IT-staff needs working better in Ubuntu.

On a related front, ScottK reported that someone should figure out why suddenly tons of people who have no idea how to configure postfix are installing it, which he traced back to some Google Chrome packages.

Update on Daily Bug triager: New,Undecided bugs (mathiaz)

mathiaz updated the daily query to be live (“New Bugs” link at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/KnowledgeBase#triager). He wanted to remind everyone to triage all bugs on the list on their Triage day: starting at the top and processing one bug after the other at least until you reach one opened on today.

Open Discussion

Daviey asked if, as part of the ArchiveReorg that is being phased in, people should think about requesting ubuntu-server upload privileges. The team details need to be sorted out first, and we didn’t feel the urgency of it since most interested people are already core-dev. However in order to lower the barrier of entry, it makes sense to set the team in place in all cases.

jmdault mentioned upcoming updates to Asterisk, due to two recent security fixes.

ACTION: mathiaz to sync up with cjwatson re: ubuntu-server upload team
