We can do little until then. Except attack updates... 19:11:58 <wilcal> nothing we can contribute right now I think 19:12:03 <lewyssmith> Move on? 19:12:24 <wilcal> #topic Testing Updates 19:12:55 <wilcal> got wireshark out and going round and round with Vbox/kernel update 19:13:44 <lewyssmith> The list grows faster than we are clearing it. I notice Dave is clearing stuff with just 1 OK, which is legitimate in the circumstances. 19:14:09 <wilcal> short list from luigi today 19:14:34 <wilcal> I'm not sure that 32-bit is all that relevant anymore 19:14:41 <brian_> hi all 19:14:48 <wilcal> hello brian 19:14:53 <krisNL> hi brian_ 19:15:46 <brian_> what subject are we on? 19:16:20 <krisNL> updates 19:16:39 <wilcal> M6 is dynamic but waiting on M5.1 19:16:50 <brian_> new iso's for 5.1 yet? 19:16:59 <lewyssmith> Not yet. 19:17:17 <krisNL> isobuilder vanished into oblivion 19:17:31 <lewyssmith> isobuilder? 19:17:47 <wilcal> did that update get pushed? 19:18:00 <lewyssmith> Which one? 19:18:09 <krisNL> we got no feedback from the one who built the iso 19:18:13 <wilcal> isobuilder 19:18:25 <lewyssmith> I'm lost! 19:18:36 <wilcal> lets pick one subject 19:18:38 <brian_> <my normal state> lewysmith 19:18:47 <brian_> sorry 19:19:10 <wilcal> 5.1 & 6 are in hold 19:19:16 <lewyssmith> I wonder whether QA might take on building the ISOs. What do you think? 19:19:25 <wilcal> LOL 19:19:37 <wilcal> I could share some stories 19:19:44 <krisNL> loool, good luck, the scropts are a mess 19:19:51 <krisNL> scripts 19:19:54 <wilcal> make Engineering a profit and loss center how's that sound 19:19:54 <lewyssmith> Meaning it is beyond us? 19:20:12 <Benmc> i understand there are now a team of builders, not just Anne and tmb 19:20:26 <wilcal> there is a new team of ISO builders and we are in a learning curve 19:20:31 <lewyssmith> Agree. 19:20:49 <wilcal> We HAVE to take that task away from tmb and anne 19:21:01 <wilcal> so a little rough on the front end 19:21:05 <wilcal> ie M5.1 19:21:32 <lewyssmith> tmb is out of it already, for his sake. 19:22:09 <wilcal> the really good news is M5 is in really great shape 19:22:27 <wilcal> updates are happening 19:22:51 <Benmc> agreed, when installed, just a few rough edges . 19:22:52 <wilcal> I agree that M6 is a better system but with big wrinkles right now 19:23:03 <lewyssmith> So 5.1 is important for Mageia & any new public. 19:23:24 <wilcal> M5 is starting to get a little long in the tooth 19:23:36 <wilcal> I have gotten to really like Plasma 19:23:38 <tjandrews> I suppose I could learn to build isos, but I don't have the time until November at the earliest. 19:24:31 <wilcal> we are on updates now right? 19:24:40 <tjandrews> And I don't pick things up as quickly as I once did. 19:24:41 <lewyssmith> Yes. 19:25:05 <wilcal> Did everyone notice the stress we have/are having with Flash ( again ) 19:25:27 <lewyssmith> I am girding my loins (you may have noticed on the ML) to have a go at Mailman. 19:25:33 <tjandrews> I haven't run across one of those warnings yet. 19:25:39 <wilcal> about 5-days ago sites began to complain about our flash level 19:26:12 <wilcal> sorry for bring this up here. one way to test flash is to hit a half dozen or so live adult websites 19:26:23 <tjandrews> Is there another crisis? 19:26:28 <wilcal> they all use crazy flash 19:26:54 <wilcal> it got fixed fast but we are seeing flash crisis about every 2-weeks not 19:26:55 <wilcal> now 19:27:34 <wilcal> cnn.com video is also a good test of your Flash 19:28:03 <wilcal> Do note that these hyper critical flash updates is not one issue 19:28:18 <wilcal> one release had almost 70 cvs's in it 19:28:36 <wilcal> horrible thing it is 19:29:02 <wilcal> last one I think had like 30 problems 19:29:15 <tjandrews> How much longer will Adobe issue security updates for Linux? 19:29:29 <stratocaster7> lewyssmith: I'm working on some testing suggestions for mailman that I'll post to the bug when they are ready - assuming I come up with something useful anyway. 19:29:38 <brian_> they've just renewed their commitment to Linux 19:29:43 <rindolf> tjandrews: they recently released Flash 29 for Linux separately from gchrome. 19:29:56 <rindolf> or is it 19? 19:30:04 <stratocaster7> lewyssmith: We use it here at work. I'm trying to come up with comparisons for what we have here and how the mga package works on a system that isn't fully configured. 19:30:04 <wilcal> they are actually pulling away from it but when Mozilla/Firefox/Chrome pull support then things will change 19:30:26 <lewyssmith> stratocaster7: Thanks. But there is some info already from an old bug - Claire of course! 19:30:34 <wilcal> Mozilla is warning that like this time next year no support for Flash 19:30:54 <lewyssmith> BTAIM We can only get stuck in with all the updates awaiting testing; please. 19:31:35 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19397 19:31:52 <wilcal> kernel update test if you can 19:32:00 <stratocaster7> lewyssmith: Ok. I had looled like you were struggling with parts of it and I thought I'd see what was really needed and what was not. 19:32:14 <stratocaster7> It had looked... 19:32:29 <wilcal> yes. The combo kernel/nvidia/Vbox is always ultra complex 19:32:47 <wilcal> toooooo many moving parts 19:32:48 <tjandrews> wilcal: Using it now with my laptop. 19:32:51 <lewyssmith> stratocaster7: What you say is too true: stuggling. It is what Bill calls a 'career builder'. 19:33:24 <wilcal> some of the apps we test are really career builders 19:33:56 <wilcal> If your really good at Blender I'll get you a job in Hollywood 19:34:13 <tjandrews> Wilcal: ALL nvidia drivers? I'm having zero problems with the 340 driver. 19:34:34 <wilcal> ya lots of moving parts there 19:34:54 <wilcal> I'm almost ready to stop using Nvidia on my Vbox system 19:35:39 <lewyssmith> stratocaster7: Please post whatever you can on the Mailman bug. It is bound to help, and for the future. 19:35:57 <wilcal> nouveau is really just fine for that application 19:36:02 <stratocaster7> lewyssmith: WIll do. 19:36:56 <wilcal> anyone familiar with bind? 19:37:28 <lewyssmith> No, but it come up often, so we should have test info from past bugs. 19:38:07 <lewyssmith> And it says there *is* a test procedure. 19:38:26 <tjandrews> I had some problems with vbox years ago on an AMD/nvidia system, but that was because the hardware wasn't up to the job. Newer hardware has been great. 19:38:43 <wilcal> well sometimes those proceedures are career builders :-)) 19:39:25 <wilcal> what I am up against is what gets installed first then next then next 19:39:46 <lewyssmith> Shall we move on? I can do. 19:39:50 <wilcal> yes 19:39:54 <lewyssmith> #topic Luigi's roundup - Security news & expected updates 19:40:17 <wilcal> " 19:40:19 <wilcal> New security bugs filed in the past week for bash, mupdf, irssi, policycoreutils, 19:40:20 <wilcal> libgd, freerdp, kdebase4-runtime (the kdesu command, specifically), 19:40:22 <wilcal> and Thunderbird 45.4 is available upstream so we'll be building that soon. 19:40:30 <wilcal> that was from Luigi this morning 19:40:49 <lewyssmith> How did you get that from him? 19:40:59 <wilcal> message to qa mail list 19:41:00 <rindolf> lewyssmith: on the mailing list 19:41:15 <lewyssmith> Ah. Have not got it yet then. 19:41:50 <krisNL> david's domain is on a spam list, i don;t get his mails either, they are blocked by gmail 19:42:27 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17536 19:42:40 <wilcal> has been on the list too long 19:42:50 <Akien> Yes, I had to make a filter to whitelist Luigi12 on gmail 19:43:36 <lewyssmith> -2 But is still under active discusssion between David & Len. 19:43:40 <tjandrews> krisNL: I whitelisted everything from QA on gmail. That took care of it. 19:44:00 <wilcal> should we grey out openjpeg2 for now 19:44:17 <lewyssmith> I asked that, and was told 'no'. 19:44:27 <lewyssmith> Take a look. 19:45:51 <lewyssmith> Shall we conclude? 19:45:58 <wilcal> yes please 19:46:03 <lewyssmith> #topic Anything else? 19:46:29 <wilcal> back to my kernel/vbox this weekend :-( 19:46:39 <wilcal> i have nothing else 19:46:51 <lewyssmith> Nor me.
