Will be back to testing updates as soon as I'm done iso testing. 20:43:18 <Luigi12_work> the ones assigned to QA, or the ones that need packager work yet? 20:44:05 <ennael> both I guess so that we can have an idea of the general status and your needs 20:44:19 <Luigi12_work> ok, just need a minute... 20:44:24 <ennael> thanks 20:44:35 <philippem> I'm working on 13041 ( python new security issue CVE-2013-1753 ) 20:45:37 <DavidWHodgins> Theare are 2 assigned to qa currently marked as critical security updates.Another 5 minor security updates, and a whole bunch of bug fix updates. 20:46:01 <philippem> and I proposed a patch for Remote CUPS 12781, but didn't found time to push it in svn, so if someone can take care of .. 20:46:12 <Luigi12_work> we have quite a few waiting on help from packagers 20:46:23 <Akien> Ah indeed the list grew over the last week! 20:46:41 <Luigi12_work> I e-mailed Funda directly about postgresql (bug 12841) and ruby/rails (bug 12896) and got no response 20:47:23 <Luigi12_work> we have cups/cups-filters maintained by tv, but he hasn't done anything about the security issue in bug 13002 even though he's made other commits to cups-filters in Cauldron 20:47:45 <ennael> have you tried to ping him ? 20:47:50 <DavidWHodgins> chromium-browser-stable has been validated, advisory is in svn, just needs to be pushed to updates. 20:48:07 <Luigi12_work> remmy had some account issues, so that's probably why he hasn't gotten to fail2ban (11569) yet 20:48:27 <Luigi12_work> ennael: the cups bug is assigned to tv, and he's been active checking bugzilla for other things, so I assume he's seen it 20:48:38 <ennael> ok I'mll try to ping him 20:49:02 <Luigi12_work> for stunnel (bug 12943) I really need a knowledgeable stunnel packager to respond on which way to fix it, as there are like 3 options 20:49:49 <Luigi12_work> tmb I'm sure has been busy with a million things, so he'll get to virtualbox (bug 12384) and tomcat (12955) eventually 20:50:09 <Luigi12_work> coincoin has already said he'll fix boinc-client (bug 12129) when he gets a chance 20:50:39 <Luigi12_work> libvirt (bug 12920) I'd like coling to look at when he has time, as it may only affect non-systemd systems, but I'm not sure 20:50:58 <Luigi12_work> bugzilla (bug 10897) is waiting on a packager to help with that one 20:52:05 <Luigi12_work> as for the security updates already assigned to QA, I don't see anything that specifically needs any additional help from packagers at this time, but they're always welcome to help test 20:53:03 <Luigi12_work> other than waiting for danf to get back to us on curl fixes, that is all from me 20:54:04 <ennael> ok. Thanks for that. I'll add it on a mail on -dev after meeting 20:54:19 <ennael> #topic Review of drakx* project 20:54:31 <ennael> ok coling, anaselli ? 20:54:37 <anaselli> fine 20:55:07 <coling> OK, so I've not really had much input so far on this one. I think both ennael and anaselli wanted to chat to me about it but we never got round to it. 20:55:38 <coling> So on that front I'm not really any further forward but I suspect you guys may be :) 20:55:40 <anaselli> coling: sorry my fault :( 20:55:47 <coling> anaselli, mine too, don't worry. 20:55:56 * coling has been very busy with holiday and work deadlines. 20:56:01 <anaselli> ok let's say just something that is in 20:56:11 * coling is still at the office tonight... 20:56:15 <anaselli> concerning old UI project 20:56:31 <anaselli> pasmatt: please the link while i'm writing 20:56:58 <anaselli> we have ported all we need to work with Suse lib YUI 20:57:12 <anaselli> the base library YUI 20:57:22 <anaselli> yui-gtk yui-qt and yui-ncurses 20:57:59 <anaselli> we have also the yui bindings that allows to work with ruby, python and of course perl 20:58:17 <coling> All looks quite promising. 20:58:18 <anaselli> so basically the UI abstraction project is in 20:58:21 <coling> :) 20:58:38 <anaselli> we also made a kind of program luncher in perl 20:59:06 <anaselli> based on YUI that can run perl modules (which structure is basically defined and must be documented better) 20:59:21 <anaselli> or any other module written in yui 20:59:33 <anaselli> so python scripts as well as c++ 20:59:51 <anaselli> concerning our tools we ported some little things 20:59:58 <anaselli> such as host manager 21:00:00 <coling> Can it only YUI things or does it just launch generic apps? 21:00:06 <anaselli> service manager 21:00:08 <pasmatt> anaselli: http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/adminpanel 21:00:09 <[mbot> [ adminpanel - Next Generation Mageia Administration Panel ] 21:00:12 <anaselli> user manager 21:00:31 <anaselli> coling: well it can run also generic apps ofcourse 21:00:50 <anaselli> but you have to know that you miss the abstraction 21:01:01 <anaselli> so if yuo run our drakrpm, it works 21:01:13 <anaselli> but you alwasy see our gtk drakrpm 21:01:26 <coling> Ahh right, sure. 21:01:50 <anaselli> ah i forgot the log viewer 21:02:08 <anaselli> which is on go... and what i wanted to talk with coling 21:02:20 <coling> :) 21:02:21 <anaselli> based on systemd journalctl 21:02:36 <anaselli> of course it's not all good :) 21:03:16 <anaselli> we had the need to add our custom widgets and i implemented for upstream the availability to get custom plugins 21:03:34 <anaselli> so we also have (pasmatt link thanks) libyui-mga 21:03:54 <anaselli> with their graphics plugin implementation 21:04:07 <pasmatt> https://bitbucket.org/_pmat_/libyui-mga/src :) 21:04:08 <[mbot> [ _pmat_ / libyui-mga / source / Bitbucket ] 21:04:25 <anaselli> and we often discover bugs in yui, that i often fix... 21:04:58 <coling> All in all it seems quite healthy overall tho'. 21:04:59 <anaselli> suse people is takeing almost all, something had to be changed a bit... 21:05:58 <rindolf> Seems like my system sometimes hiccups. 21:05:59 <anaselli> well building application layout is abit tricky... but it's the price to pay for having three implementation in one :) 21:06:14 <philippem> anaselli: you python bindings are python 2 only ? 21:06:38 <philippem> for a new tool we should use Python 3 21:06:45 <anaselli> pasmatt: good question, yui use swig 21:07:14 <anaselli> for the bindings... honestly i haven't look at the scripting language version 21:07:18 <anaselli> pasmatt: ? 21:07:33 <anaselli> sorry the previous one was for philippem 21:08:02 <anaselli> i will check and say it later 21:08:32 <philippem> the syntax is python 2 for what I see 21:08:40 <pasmatt> philippem: yes 21:08:53 <anaselli> anyway what i'd like to add is that the porting of our tools is not that hard... but it need code reworking and layout rewriting 21:09:41 <anaselli> but our stuff is often hard to maintain, so sometimes i preferred look for cpan solution instead old mandriva's code 21:09:51 <ennael> ok 21:09:54 <anaselli> but that because we were just two 21:09:58 <ennael> could we plan a quick meeting on that topic specifically to speak about how to communicate on it, have some dedicated web pages on the project and a roadmap for mageia 5 and maybe later 21:10:16 <anaselli> sure 21:10:22 <anaselli> coling: ? pasmatt? 21:10:22 <ennael> I cannot see anything about it in specifications proposal for now 21:10:48 <anaselli> well that because i continue working on the old proposal :D 21:11:01 <coling> Yup, that sounds good to me. 21:11:21 <coling> From my perspective, my wiki page review thingy was more from a backend code perspective. 21:11:25 <anaselli> coling: maybe we can talk together to fix the proposal 21:11:46 <coling> If we want these tools to be adopted by other distros etc too, then I think we need to use as many "clean" interfaces as possible. 21:12:13 <ennael> and maybe have a plan before starting and specific goals 21:12:14 <anaselli> agree 21:12:20 <coling> So in the same way anaselli said he sometimes searched for cpan solution instead of old mdv code, I'm of the same opinion but more radical! Use dbus services if at all possible! 21:12:24 <pasmatt> agreed 21:12:26 <ennael> simple one to be sure to hae something ready in time 21:13:11 <anaselli> ennael: from the GUI point of view they can cohexists 21:13:11 <ennael> ok why not next week at this time? if coling is available 21:13:20 <coling> OK, I'd be happy to have such a meeting. ennael pasmatt anaselli coling ? 21:13:34 <coling> Anyone else? Would be nice if you could convince tv to attend ennael! 21:13:34 <anaselli> for me is ok 21:13:41 <coling> Yeah that's OK for me I think. 21:13:42 <ennael> coling: I can ask him 21:13:50 <ennael> also blino and pterjan 21:13:57 <coling> Yup definitely :) 21:14:04 <anaselli> ennael: 25th? 21:14:11 <ennael> yep 21:14:13 <anaselli> ok 21:14:24 <anaselli> 1th i'm in brussels 21:14:30 <anaselli> so ok 21:14:38 <ennael> then maybe before this date work on a review of what you are working each of you so that we can read it before meeting 21:14:49 <ennael> it will save time and we focus on real discussion 21:15:05 <anaselli> ok 21:15:06 <ennael> ad any links to code or doc that can help to understand 21:15:52 <ennael> anything else on that topic? 21:16:34 <ennael> let say no :) 21:16:39 <anaselli> :) 21:16:43 <ennael> #topic Mageia 5 specifications 21:16:44 <coling> :) 21:17:02 <ennael> so we will start first review of proposals with malo by the end of this week 21:17:13 <ennael> we have very few proposals for now 21:17:22 <sebsebseb> hi 21:17:39 <sebsebseb> oh the packagers meeting 21:17:46 * coling has not done his usual submission of millions. 21:17:47 <ennael> don't know if you have all written the one you would like to propose 21:17:52 <ennael> :) 21:17:58 <coling> Partly because older ones still need to be completed. 21:18:06 <coling> (I should update categories) 21:18:10 <ennael> yes please ! 21:18:26 <coling> But also because I don't plan massive breakages this time (I need a break!) and want to do more infra stuff. 21:18:37 <Akien> Maybe yet another reminder should be sent, also stating to add the Mageia5 category to old features that people want to transfer to mga5. 21:18:41 <ennael> yep 21:18:46 <doktor5000__> Anssi: ping? got a question about dkms-nvidia vs. nvidia-*-kernel module conflicts, as e.g. mentioned in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12893 21:18:48 <[mbot> [ Bug 12893 System won't boot up after recent kernel and Nvidia updates (plymouth problem) ] 21:18:51 <ennael> will do it just after meeting 21:18:59 <ennael> doktor5000__: meeting time :) 21:19:00 * doktor5000__ is sorry for disturbing -.- 21:19:26 <ennael> anything else on specifications? 21:19:49 <Anssi> doktor5000__: I think this is a depmod bug, the order in /etc/depmod.d/dkms.conf is not honored 21:23:27 <anaselli> ennael: coling just a silly question 21:23:48 <coling> anaselli, if it's on topic... 21:23:48 <anaselli> do we have to update coling proposal 21:24:00 <anaselli> or a new one 21:24:04 <coling> The drakx review wiki page? 21:24:05 <anaselli> well more or less 21:24:27 <anaselli> ok so drakx review 21:24:30 <coling> It's not really a "proposal" as such - just a place to collect info and thoughts, but please do update it!! 21:24:58 <anaselli> ok 21:25:11 <coling> (dunno if that answers your question?) 21:25:38 <ennael> can you remind us the url of this page? 21:28:03 <anaselli> welll don't know either... i mean do we have to make a proposal or we can go adding info somewhere? 21:28:30 <anaselli> https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:InstallerAndDrakXReview 21:28:53 <anaselli> that is under feature 21:29:22 <ennael> ok thanks 21:29:50 <ennael> well I guess that's all for that topic.
