Precise Development

Daviey pointed to http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/release-bugs.html and http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/triage-report.html need some love. rbasak agreed to take bug 906735 (“package installation should create /var/log/puppet”), and SpamapS thought bug 898340 (“mysql clients statically link libmysqlclient in”) should be on the release radar.

adam_g completed charms for openstack, and SpamapS will review.

jamespage is off the stable rotation now, and will have time to work on the CI lab.

Daviey asked that everyone look for good bug targets for next week.

Ubuntu Server Team Events

Next week, some of the server team will be sprinting in Budapest, and Fosdem

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)

jamespage put a few new iso install tests live, so we now have daily testing. patrickmw has put up a new precise dashboard reporting daily testing results at https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com. Precise ec2 images are broken due to a kernel oops (bug 911204). smb believes xen guests were broken by some upstream rtc changes. Openstack automated testing should be picking up in the next few days.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb)

Bug 902951 (“CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK shouldnt be a module”) was brought up, but appears to be stalled.

Weekly Updates & Questions regarding Ubuntu ARM Server (NCommander)

Daviey is concerned that ARM kernel bugs will be found late in the cycle. rbasak therefore agreed to try precise on a pandaboard.

Open Discussion

rbasak asked about bug 858878 (“lack of csrf protection in cobbler-web”). RoAkSoAx says it’s a security issue and therefore goes through a different process than SRUs, so he can’t do any more to kick it. adam_g asked zul to bake the next openstack snapshot in a ppa for a few days before the friday release.

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, Jan 17 at 16:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

Review ACTION points from previous meeting

As Somer has sadly announced he does not have sufficient time to continue his excellent work on the docs, kim0 is going to help us by working to create a new community around documentation.

Regarding oneiric images not booting on hvm instances, smb had a test image fixing that problem.

Oneiric Development

With everyone sprinting the previous week, our bug list had grown again. Both the triage report and server release bug lists needed work. Daviey said that feature freeze exceptions need to be raised for every feature not yet landed.

Ubuntu Server Team Events

lynxman and company are sprinting next week for openstack and orchestra. Linuxcon is this week.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb)

smb was wondering whether the rename of xvd to sd patch should be reverted on maverick as well. smoser was not comfortable with that, they will discuss further.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)

hggdh asked, (1) “are there any new tests we should run on the ISO tracker?” and (2) “what is the status of openstack & companions?”. Daviey said we need more tests, and hopefully Jamespage will be able to help with that soon. Jamespage started a list of openstack testing at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Oneiric/OpenStackTestPlan.

Daviey asked anyone in the community interested in helping to make Ubuntu server rock even more to ping him.
