[14:33] <cpaelzer> let us see what this week has new for us
[14:34] <cpaelzer> nothing in non-proposed
[14:34] <cpaelzer> but a lintian explosion in -proposed
[14:34] <slyon> ugh lintian... they're adding new dependencies quicker than we can process them :)
[14:34] <slyon> lintian got a new maintainer upstream and I think there was a big re-organization of the code
[14:34] <sarnold> or.... hooray for more automated checking :) (I hope)
[14:34] <cpaelzer> which is all great, but paingul
[14:34] <cpaelzer> slyon: a question, is there a strong resaon it needs to be in main
[14:34] <slyon> I'll check those new dependencies. and assign them out within foundations, as needed
[14:34] <cpaelzer> slyon: it does not have to be as a build-dependency
[14:35] <didrocks> perlpainful even :p
[14:35] <slyon> cpaelzer: yeah.. we had that discussion during the Frankfurt sprint. But there were some strong opinions about keeping it in main
[14:35] <slyon> I can lookup the details if you want to
[14:35] <cpaelzer> ok, then you said it right -sort out the MIRs on your end and file them
[14:35] <cpaelzer> just wanted to ask to be sure
[14:36] <cpaelzer> the rest are known false positives
[14:36] <cpaelzer> or cases waiting for review
[14:36] <sarnold> openwsman?
[14:36] <cpaelzer> sarnold: that whole maas seed thing is there forver and not changing
[14:37] <cpaelzer> it is aphilospohopy questions, someone decided to declare a seed as maas uses those, but no one stepped up owning and promoting the packages
[14:37] <sarnold> aha. it felt vaguely familiar but I didn't see openwsman in /lastlog. this should do for another few months then.. heh
[14:37] <cpaelzer> it is a very special case of false positives
[14:37] <cpaelzer> TBH all cases that are up are in the security queue
[14:37] <cpaelzer> so you can clear this view a lot sarnold :-P
[14:38] <cpaelzer> #topic New MIRs
[14:38] <cpaelzer> Mission: ensure to assign all incoming reviews for fast processing

[14:38] <cpaelzer> none
[14:38] <didrocks> \o/
[14:38] <cpaelzer> really, I thought I have seen one in my inbox this week
[14:38] <cpaelzer> let me see if it shows up in incomplete
[14:38] <cpaelzer> #topic Incomplete bugs / questions

[14:39] <cpaelzer> a few updates on those
[14:39] <cpaelzer> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmitool/+bug/1978144
[14:39] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1978144 in ipmitool (Ubuntu) "[MIR] ipmitool" [Undecided, Incomplete]
[14:39] <cpaelzer> was reviewsed by joalif
[14:39] <cpaelzer> looks good a few todos for the team, soon to be handled
[14:39] <cpaelzer> we can assign this to security already IMHO
[14:39] <cpaelzer> as we usually do
[14:39] <joalif> so this needs sec review
[14:40] <cpaelzer> Lena will add the test details while that is hanging in the sec queue
[14:40] <joalif> but I didn't know if i shoudl assign it to them before the todos are done
[14:40] <cpaelzer> yes joalif, I assigned security now
[14:40] <joalif> ah ok
[14:40] <cpaelzer> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libisofs/+bug/1977959
[14:40] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1977959 in libisofs (Ubuntu) "[MIR] libisoburn, libburn, libisofs" [Undecided, Incomplete]
[14:40] <cpaelzer> this goes on between slyon and alexghiti
[14:40] <didrocks> I think slyon kept in sync with his time
[14:40] <didrocks> team*
[14:40] <slyon> actually:
[14:41] <cpaelzer> ?
[14:41] <slyon> this is a question for didrocks:
[14:41] <slyon> about the .symbols file
[14:41] <didrocks> (I agree about the no additional delta if we can’t get it sponsored to debian)
[14:41] <didrocks> if that was your question :p
[14:41] <slyon> I think we do not want to block on this here. as they're using the "-V" parameter
[14:42] <didrocks> yeah, I agree, but can we try to get them in debian still?
[14:42] <slyon> i.e. dh_makeshlibs -V
[14:42] <slyon> Yes, I feel like it should be sent to Debian, but no need to inroduce a Ubuntu delta, right?
[14:42] <cpaelzer> ack
[14:42] <didrocks> right, this is what I just wrote ^
[14:42] <slyon> ok, thanks for clarification
[14:43] <cpaelzer> Then we have https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gsasl/+bug/1972866
[14:43] <slyon> I will talk to Alex, he's out currently, though
[14:43] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1972866 in gsasl (Ubuntu) "[MIR] gsasl" [Undecided, Incomplete]
[14:43] <didrocks> slyon: just to ensure this is done, forwarded, but ack then. I’ll let you finish syncing with your team
[14:43] <didrocks> good :)
[14:43] <cpaelzer> this goes on in discussion - so far mostly about nothing yet testing it AFAICS
[14:43] <cpaelzer> nothing to act for us right now
[14:43] <cpaelzer> #topic MIR related Security Review Queue
[14:43] <slyon> should this be set to "New"+security?
[14:43] <cpaelzer> Mission: Check on progress, do deadlines seem doable?

[14:44] <slyon> I think foundations' part is done on gsasl
[14:44] <cpaelzer> yes slyon
[14:44] <slyon> will do cpaelzer
[14:44] <cpaelzer> set
[14:44] <slyon> thx
[14:44] <cpaelzer> I could ask, but I ask the same thing every week sarnold - so I'm not asking this week
[14:44] <cpaelzer> but the list is huge again :-/
[14:45] * cpaelzer hugs sarnold for review-pain
[14:45] <cpaelzer> Does anyone have other teams inout on the security queue or its handling atm?
[14:45] <cpaelzer> s/inout/input/
[14:46] <cpaelzer> I guess that is a "no by timeout"
[14:46] <sarnold> there was little progress last week due to a security sprint, which was excellent -- and I expect little this week, as most of my colleagues are on vacation this week and much of next week; however, we had good discussions on performing MIRs, the new folks who have taken some are keen, and I'm still feeling happy thoughts :)
[14:46] <cpaelzer> oh great
[14:46] <cpaelzer> so it seems we can hope that this isn't just on your shoulds soon then
[14:46] <sarnold> yes
[14:46] <cpaelzer> great
[14:46] <cpaelzer> #topic Any other business?
[14:47] <sarnold> none here
[14:47] <cpaelzer> I have a heads up on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdevctl/+bug/1942394
[14:47] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1942394 in mdevctl (Ubuntu) "[MIR] mdevctl 1.0.0 (rust switch)" [Undecided, Incomplete]
[14:47] <cpaelzer> this ties into the rust rules that we have discussed a while ago
[14:47] <cpaelzer> https://github.com/cpaelzer/ubuntu-mir/pull/3/files
[14:47] <ubottu> Pull 3 in cpaelzer/ubuntu-mir "Add rust rules" [Open]
[14:47] <cpaelzer> I will soon have to rebase and re-propose that to land it
[14:47] <cpaelzer> because we have it almost ready in the form that was suggested
[14:47] <cpaelzer> there are things which we need to reconsider
[14:48] <cpaelzer> for example cargo.lock isn't yet done by the dh_cargo tooling, until it exists one can not provide it
[14:48] <cpaelzer> there are fallbacks in our proposed ruling which we will use
[14:48] <cpaelzer> so far just an FYI so you know it comes
[14:48] <cpaelzer> and sadly the wiki has become immutable again
[14:48] <slyon> nice, thanks
[14:48] <cpaelzer> nothing else from my side
[14:49] <slyon> I have once question wrt my last comment on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lerc/+bug/1977551
[14:49] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1977551 in lerc (Ubuntu) "[MIR] lerc" [Undecided, New]
[14:49] <slyon> do we require the build to fail on .symbols file changes?
[14:49] <cpaelzer> on breaking symbols change IIRC yes
[14:49] <slyon> the MIR rules state that symbols tracking needs to be in place
[14:49] <cpaelzer> not on just adding new symbols
[14:49] <slyon> lerc is tracking symbols, but ignoring the changes during build
[14:49] <slyon> (only to be checked manually)
[14:49] <sarnold> cargo.lock missing from dh_cargo :( -- do we need to ask our rust experts to help push that over the finish line?
[14:50] * didrocks likes to use level 4 as discussed the other days, but it’s more a personal preference on package I used to maintain directly
[14:50] <cpaelzer> sarnold: (rust) yes, but I'd decouple the MIR rules and any ongoing package from that. Once it exists it shall be used, but until it does we can't require it
[14:50] <didrocks> I think though that yeah, only on removing symbols (even if adding symbols can break in C++)
[14:50] <slyon> didrocks: ACK, thanks for your input on this one! maybe we don't need to be as strict in the generic rules.
[14:51] <slyon> But I'll ask seb to introduce a delta to make the build fail on symbols changes
[14:51] <cpaelzer> slyon: it should fail on removing a symbol - if it does that it is ok IMHO
[14:51] <sarnold> cpaelzer: I'm afraid if we go down that path we'll eventually have a dozen packages in, and no support, and no incentive to get it done..
[14:51] <cpaelzer> sarnold: and if we don't we can't update more and more waiting on the dh_cargo feature to exist
[14:51] <slyon> cpaelzer: I agree on this. So we need to patch lerc, as the maintainers do not want this, due to it being too much work for C++ libraries with lots of generated symbols names
[14:52] <slyon> that might change on toolchain changes
[14:52] <cpaelzer> slyon: I'm really only having a soft opinion here - I do not maintain much C++
[14:52] <cpaelzer> it feels odd to add delta just for that
[14:52] <slyon> hmm
[14:52] <didrocks> if you want to be scared on how you can break the ABI in C++: https://community.kde.org/Policies/Binary_Compatibility_Issues_With_C%2B%2B
[14:53] <didrocks> and you see that removing symbols is not the only way to break it :p
[14:53] <didrocks> (but I think good enough for most of the cases)
[14:53] <cpaelzer> sarnold: (rust) so yes, let us hard-request that from dh-cargo asap - but allow some way to make progress in between
[14:54] <sarnold> cpaelzer: (rust) yes, that can make sense -- but I'm really only comfortable allowing the first if we also have a resourced plan to get to a better dh_cargo situation
[14:54] <slyon> (c++ symbols) IMO it makes sense to rather be on the safe side and check/adopt .symbols after toolchain changes, rather than missing a ABI break
[14:55] <cpaelzer> ack
[14:55] <cpaelzer> that is the way to go then slyon
[14:55] <slyon> thanks. nothing else from my side
[14:56] <cpaelzer> ok, that sounds like a wrap then
[14:56] <sarnold> thanks cpaelzer, all :)
[14:56] <cpaelzer> thank you all
