Published Tuesday, 17 June 2008 Ubuntu Server meeting minutes Leave a Comment

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

Openldap 2.4 SRU

mathiaz announced that openldap 2.4.9 had been uploaded to hardy-proposed. Testing and reporting on the results is more then welcomed. He added that he’d like to get 2.4.10 in hardy as well, but that would have to wait for 2.4.10 to hit intrepid. zul also mentioned that three bug fixes from 2.4.10 are already included in the 2.4.9 sru uploaded to hardy.

mathiaz mentioned that the nss_ldapd feature discussed at UDS had been committed to upstream cvs. It should be available in 2.4.11. nijaba suggested that we should target 2.4.11 for inclusion in intrepid.

Ebox and Ubuntu centralize server administrator spec

nxvl wasn’t able to make it to the meeting. There was some discussion about using Augeas as a backend for ebox.

ACTION: mathiaz to send send an email to the ebox devs about augeas

Spec status/review

ScottK asked what was the status of specification approval for intrepid. dendrabates said he was still working on finalizing the list. ScottK listed some of the specs he wrote server-flavors, clamav-spamassassin-in-main, amavisd-dkim and waits for their approval to start implementing them.

Proposed ubuntu server team PPA

zul brought up the idea of having a PPA for the ubuntu-server team. mathiaz asked what it would be used for. zul said he’d see it used as a staging area for -proposed. mathiaz asked zul to ping him if he came across a package that would fit in an ubuntu-server ppa and not in a personal ppa.

text browser on the server cd

mathiaz highlighted the recent thread on -devel and -server about moving w3m out of the standard seed. After some discussion it became clear that the Server team would like to keep w3m installed by default on Ubuntu Server.

The discussion drifted to the topic on seed review. Once the -server seeds are created, -standard and -minimal should be reviewed to make sure that server related packages are not installed on desktop and vice-versa.

ACTION: mathiaz to send a reply to the thread with the position of the server team.

ACTION: dendrobates to review seeds wrt to the creation of the server seeds.

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, June 24th at 15:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

  • QEMU in Launchpad
    QEMU provides the userspace and device emulation required by KVM. As such, it's an extremely important project to Ubuntu's virtualization and cloud computing efforts.The upstream project has not had an actively maintained bug tracker for quite some time.I recently helped QEMU's maintainer, Anthony Liguori setup a Launchpad project for trackin […]
  • KVM's inside of Byobu
    Here's a neat trick that I find phenomenally useful...I like to run KVM virtual machines inside of Byobu, using KVM's -curses option. From QEMU's manpage:Normally, QEMU uses SDL to display the VGA output. With this option, QEMU can display the VGA output when in text mode using a curses/ncurses interface. Nothing is displayed in graphical m […]
  • KVM-84 Backport Release Candidate
    Howdy,On March 17, 2009, I blogged the following call for testing:http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/03/ubuntu-server-kvm-call-for-testing.htmlWe have worked through a number of the issues raised after that blog post, and cherry-picked several patches that fix some known bugs. We believe that Ubuntu 9.04's kvm-84 is a far more complete hypervisor.This […]

  • Goodbye Gutsy
    (In reading my prior EOL posts, I realize I should have said “Enough Edgy” or something like that to be appropriately alliterative.) Gutsy is now officially at end-of-life. Looking back through my build logs, I can see that my desktop spent 25 hours, 6 minutes, and 47 seconds building 208 security updates. (And 18 hours, 23 minutes, 45 seconds do […]
  • CODEGATE 2009 ran Ubuntu Intrepid
    I’m pleased to hear than the CODEGATE 2009 International Hacking Contest ran Ubuntu Intrepid for both the qualifying rounds and the final match. The host machine was running the 32bit -server kernel, so NX was active (along with all the other memory-corruption protections). From what I can see the compiled challenges were stack-protected and fortifie […]
  • debugging hangs in MIMEDefang
    I spent a while this morning hunting down the root cause of a 100% CPU MIMEDefang process. (Turned out to be one specific email triggering one of my custom SpamAssassin rules that seems to get processed really inefficiently.) I wasn’t able to find any documentation on how to debug where in MIMEDefang an email was getting stuck, and even jacking up th […]

  • Merges of the Weekend: suggestions from the Ubuntu Server team
    Got some time for a couple of merges this week-end? I’ve just updated the list of packages that look easy to merge on the Ubuntu Server Team roadmap: vsftpd and amavisd-new in main asterisk, heimdal and boinc in universe. The Merging wiki page gives an overview on the process and once your debdiff is ready you can upload it to karmic or file a bug […]
  • Are configuration management tools still needed in the cloud?
    Cloud is the buzz word of the year and with the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud available in Ubuntu 9.04 everyone will be able to build its own private cloud to experiment. As a cloud base infrastructure provides more flexibility and dynamism in the computing infrastructure it seems that configuration management tools will become more and more important in the futur […]
  • March, 12th 2009: The Thursday samba bugs were exterminated
    I call for Ubuntu Bug warriors to unite on the 12th day of the month of March of the year of 2009 and march all together to squash bugs related to the samba package. Instructions for first timers will be provided in a wiki page as well as a list of prime targets. Veterans are also encouraged to join and focus on the most complex issues while providing suppor […]

  • Best UDS so far ?
    UDS Karmic in Barcelona is shaping up to be a great Ubuntu Developer Summit. The venue looks gorgeous, Barcelona is a great city to spend evenings in, and the schedule is packed with great sessions, twice as many as usual in the Server track. So if you live nearby and consider joining, you should definitely do. You can learn a lot, we can learn from you, you […]
  • The server GUI dilemma
    Among the many comments on my last article there were calls for a graphical administration interface, i.e. providing by default a desktop environment on the server (like Microsoft or Redhat do) or some web-based admin application. This is an often required feature, and so far we stood firm on the desktop environment part, and did not really invest in integra […]
  • What I want Ubuntu Server to be
    What we call “Ubuntu Server” is currently a basic system, released together with a giant set of packages that you can install. Being Debian-based, the result is very close to what Debian also delivers: a powerful base platform that can be customized to do almost anything. We add some killer features and packages that we feel are missing, do some […]

  • Next Stop UDS
    All the Canonical folks are meeting this week prior to UDS.  We’ve already had some great discussions including: Canonical Plan for World Domination — text redacted — (Sorry, if I told you, I’d have to kill you.) Actually, it is a great time to see all our co-workers from across the globe.  However, I can’t wait for next week, […]
  • UDS Barcelona Has Incredible Potential
    This UDS each track will have two session rooms, plus a breakout room. That means we will have, at least, twice as many sessions. We should some out of it with twice as many specs for new features. My question is, how will we handle twice the data? In previous UDS’ the server track was very well documented, thanks to Adam Sommer from the documentati […]
  • I’ll be at the Free Software & Technology Expo in St Louis, MO on Saturday
    I’ll be speaking at the Free Software & Technology Expo tomorrow May 9th. My talk will cover: * What’s new in Jaunty, including the Ubuntu Enterprise cloud * Hints of what might come in Karmic, and a UDS preview * Observations from the front line (or What it’s like to work for Canonical, and the furious pace of our 6 month release cy […]

  • ext4 on Ubuntu 9.04
    It all started back in the good ol’ days of the Jaunty development cycle when I heard this new fangled filesystem thingy called ext4 was going to be an option in Jaunty. It claimed to be faster with much shorter fsck times. So, like any good Ubuntu developer, I tried it. It was indeed noticeably faster and fsck times were much improved. The honeymoon w […]
  • ufw status
    While not exactly news as it happened sometime last month, ufw is now in Debian and is even available in Squeeze. What is new is that the fine folks in Debian have started to translate the debconf strings in ufw, and during the process the strings are much better. Thanks Debian! In other news, ufw trunk now has support for filtering by interface. To use it, […]
