• Daviey to post another followup one euca-dhcp bug.

  • http://people.canonical.com/~platform/workitems/natty/canonical-server-ubuntu-11.04-beta-1.h

Ubuntu Server Team Events

Open Discussion

• hally had brought up that the duplication required of the meeting chair to publish the meeting minutes was somewhat annoying. SpamapS pointed out his branch of Mathias Gug’s old ubuntuserver-meeting tool sends to multiple addresses at once, and allows the writer to create just one copy of the minutes.

Review ACTION points from previous meeting

Because the previous meeting was pre-UDS, there were no ACTION points to review.

Natty Development

Specifications should be submitted for review, robbiew is reviewing/approving those that are ready.

Maverick SRUs

• JamesPage brought up bug #666028 as it would need verification.

• This brought up the bigger topic that there are no actual resources available to do verification of SRU’s right now, so we should all allocate some time to watching for SRU’s that are marked verification-needed and verify when possible. These are listed in Chuck’s SRU tracker: http://people.canonical.com/~chucks/SRUTracker/sru-tracker-bugs.html#verified_bugs

• There was talk of a “daily verification” schedule similar to bug triage. Discussion of this further is deferred.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)

• The ISO images page was consolidated, causing some confusion. hggdh thought we were going to have to start doing ISO testing for MAC, armel, PPC, even possibly PS3.
  • robbiew put this to rest, i386/amd64 are the only ones requiring server ISO testing. This was just the result of consolidation.
• hggdh is expanding daily builds to include any packages that run extensive tests during their build process.
  • All are encouraged to send examples to hggdh. He will contact ubuntu developers for help in finding more.
  • mathiaz noted that rules files could be grepped for the ‘nocheck’ test that is suggested for any large test suites during build.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen)

• jjohansen has transitioned his role as server team kernel delegate to smb
• smb notes kernel bug #415353 which he will be looking into to help address issues with teh bnx2x drivers.
• jjohansen noted that there is an SRU pending for bug #651370 which causes ec2 to crash with an invalid opcode in maverick
• jjohansen noted that pv-on-hvm drivers are in the natty kernel and will undergo testing/experimentation in the short term.

Meeting time and scheduling

• The meeting is a bit late in the day for many of the european participants, so it was proposed, and accepted, to move the meeting back to 1600 UTC.
  • robbiew will add an entry to the official #ubuntu-meeting calendar on the fridge

Open Discussion

• RoAkSoaX would like people to review his split for cluster-stack library packages. SpamapS suggests adding a merge proposal and asking ubuntu-server for review.

Drizzle state in maverick

Drizzle is currently broken in maverick. It may be possible to fix it for maverick if done this week.

Natty development (jib)

With feature development unwinding and only a handful of bugs targeted to release, this is a great time to put your thinking caps on for Natty if you have some spare time. Like last round, we’ll use the IdeaPool wiki page to gather thoughts.

LP blueprints should filed if someone is ready to lead a session at UDS-N.

If someone has strong connection with other communities a targeted call for ideas could be useful.

• SpamapS to finalize and send ruby gems proposal to ubuntu-devel
• ttx to send email about 10.04.1 release process to server team

Review ACTION points from previous meeting

All actions were incomplete and were carried over. The rubygems proposal is being finalized, with the hope to fix it in maverick, but more realistically for maverick+1.

Maverick development (jib)

Alpha3 was delivered last week, beta started with this list. This should be vetted by everyone, so that’s the deliverable as far as jib is concerned.

10.04.1 release (ttx)

10.04.1 was just postponed to next Tuesday, so initial plans need to be adjusted. Since ttx and Daviey will be away, jib, mathiaz and smoser should lead that effort. This will be confirmed by an email from ttx. Bug 571057 will make it, thanks to mathiaz last-minute merge and testing.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)

hggdh reported new regressions in eucalyptus. A fix is in the works and should land tomorrow. smoser asked about people using uec-provisioning, and Daviey reported using it with success. SpamapS raised an extremely high new bug rate over the last few weeks, but old timers dismissed it as a very normal new bug rate.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen)

jjohansen reported bug 597387 as now working in all zones. For bug 574910, he has a test kernel building, and should have an update for that tonight.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Community Team (kim0)

kim0 launched the maps effort for 10.04.1: see http://maps.ubuntu.com/

Open Discussion

Daviey raised bug 613463 — the dependency should be reverted, pending a discussion with cjwatson on a potentially better fix. And SpamapS bragged about CEPH being in Maverick now !

Next meeting will be on Tuesday 2010-08-17 at 1800 UTC – #ubuntu-meeting

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

Meeting Actions

• SpamapS to send ruby gems proposel to ubuntu-devel
• zul to clean up the SRU assigne list by prodding people on status
• everyone to pick 1 or 2 papercuts for the beta cycle

Review ACTION points from previous meeting

• SpamapS to work with mathiaz on a proposal, and send proposal to -devel on ruby gems in ubuntu: Work in progress.

• Daviey & kirkland to review http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/uec.html: DONE.

• entire team to fix your papercuts by end-of-the-week: reviewed later in a meeting topic.
• SpamapS and ScottK to reivew Kolab php5 patches: patches submitted to upstream and should be available after alpha3.

Maverick development (jib)

• alpha3 overcommitted, several WI postponed to beta.
• cloud-utils, daily-vcs, uec-monitoring: won’t be able to be done before FF.
• added blueprints to track ongoing work like ISO testing and triaging, just to provide more insight, so those will be in the tracker as well starting the beta cycle.
• most blueprints should be scoped for the beta workloads now, so please have a look and make sure there are no anomalies.

Alpha3-milestoned bugs (ttx)

• remaining bugs were retargeted to beta
• UEC: All-in-one topo working, other topologies and loadtesrting are still very broken

Alpha3 ISO testing (ttx)

• ISO respin tomorrow morning: concentrate your ISO testing efforts on tomorrow’s
• Cloud images will also be respun.

Remember area of ISO testing, it’s marked down on the corresponding work item.

Magical powers

ttx bragged about the fact that he could take on a triceratops with his bare hands and the power of his look. jiboumans shattered ttx dreams reminding him that science had proved triceratops didn’t actually exist.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)

• Eucalyptus only works in all-in-one

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen)

• switch to a 2.6.35 pv-ops kernel

• started to bisect kernel to chase down high load bug for idle instances on ec2.

• Spamaps asked the kernel team to keep on rockin in the free world.

Team member activity and presence: Eurekastreams

• mathiaz ran into Eureka streams and wondered if that could be used track team member activity automatically. jiboumans, ttx and Spamaps looked at it and found potential.

• ttx has been missing recently is some presence tool. Eureka streams may not help in that regard. Being able to tell people are “at work”. Crosscheking with calendars doesn’t really help.

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, August 10th at 18:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

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

Review ACTION points from last meeting

* ttx to coordinate testing for Alpha 2 – carry over * smoser to train someone on the release team on the cloud image release – carry over

Maverick development (jib)

Most specs should be around 50% completion right now. If you’re off that mark, you may want to review work items and see if any can be postponed or dropped, or ask for some support some are well ahead of that curve so we should have some slack in that area.

ttx confirmed we are going reasonably well, adding that the UEC specs are slightly late but we’ve been addressing that.

mathiaz has been experimenting with a new format/template for the status section of BP and stated that we should be seeing the output of this in the coming days.

ttx noted that: * UEC testing was rescoped to concentrate on fixing the current issues to get to a stable situation, and engage in training new people. * qa workflow was moved to A3 to give priority to uec-testing. * cloud-init was trimmed down to move prio-3 things as targets of opportunity * cloud-utils first work items were reassigned to clint * uec-ec2-kernel-updates work items were clarified

ttx feels that everyone now has a stable and clear view on what’s expected from everyone and that if someone thinks he cannot make it, please raise the red flag !

Feature Definition Freeze this week (ttx)

ttx drew attention to http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-server-maverick-alpha-2.html and stated it gives a clear commonly shared view on what’s expected.

ttx reminded that Final Definition Freeze is this week, and warned the need to freeze the design on all specs that affect main packages and present those to the release team .

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)

(ttx checks that the awesome Daviey is scribe)

hggdh shares that he has been testing the metadata issue fix, and preparing to get to Lexington next week for a sprint. He notes that the current fix seems to be insufficient, and is still producing issues.

hggdh confirms that the latest lucid SRU for eucalyptus has been moved from -proposed to -updates.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen)

jjohansen shares the pv-ops kernel for EC2 hasn’t been working out so we are shelving it for at least alpha2 and will update the Xen patches, and comments that zul seems to want to volunteer to work on it. zul clarifies that he wasn’t.

jjohansen confirms the kernel has some known performance regressions, that will probably be in alpha2, freeing time to work on some Amazon EC2 issues, and the performance issues are known upstream and a fix should be in a later RC release.

jjohansen states the kernel team has would like to know some more about Bug #588861. The awesome Daviey confirms that triaging has been somewhat blocked at the moment, as it seems there are other foundation related issues stopping us from even getting as far as that to reproduce the issue. Since, the latest kernel, we haven’t had an enviroment where we can reproduce that. Therefore, i’ve been unable to provide further information OR confirm if the issue is still ongoing in the latest kernel. jjohansen confirms we know its kernel related, and not an update to something else. jjohansen requests that he is kept posted and will recommend adding it to the top 50 bugs for the kernel team.

[ACTION] jjohansen to review atop patchset for Alpha3 planning purposes [ACTION] Daviey to update #588861, if needed against alpha1

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Documentation Team (sommer)

sommer confirms he added some items to the blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-maverick-serverguide-updates , but feels he will need the most help with is the UEC section. kirkland points at Daviey, who tries to point it back to kirkland.

sommer mentions he’ll request help on the clustering section from RoAkSoAx / ivoks, and that he has some updates from ttx regarding tomcat.

Priase is given to sommer for his awesome work. Hugs also seem to be unanimous to Bryce for unclutterring the launchpad whiteboard.

Papercuts Alpha2 subcycle status (ttx)

ttx shares https://launchpad.net/server-papercuts/+milestone/maverick-alpha-2 , and notes that all are assigned and 65% are already fixed, and that there are a shortage of nominations for the next cycle.

New SRU Tracker (zul)

zul introduces that at maverick uds we agreed to change the way we do nominations for SRU. we are taking it to the ubuntu-server list to get more feedback, the email will be starting shortly after some introduction. States that we are also monitoring the status of the SRU nominated bugs (work in progress) at http://people.canonical.com/~chucks/SRUTracker/sru-tracker-bugs.html

zul explains that it is a cron job that sucks in launchpad into a sql database and displays the results. Only running daily, the information might be out of date sometimes.

[ACTION] zul to move the sru tracker code to it’s own project

Open Discussion

(Nothing to discuss)

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, 22nd June at 1800 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

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

Action points from the last meeting

• sommer to try to move server doc spec to Ubuntu specs: DONE
• ttx to document (or delegate documentation of ) package stack names: DONE

Alpha1 milestone

The Alpha1 milestone will be released Thursday. Please participate to Server ISO testing to get as much coverage as we can. Current known issues include an oversized CD, due to bug 587893. smoser will publish cloud images soon. Between now and Alpha1 we are in soft freeze and should not upload major changes that could impact negatively the milestone.

ACTION: all to run ISO testing coverage on alpha1

ACTION: smoser to ensure cloud images make it to the alpha1 iso tracker

Alpha2 subcycle status

The Canonical team tracks progress on their specs here. Please remember to keep your work items and Status: line updated in the blueprints, at least once per week before Monday EOB. See the WorkItemsHowto for more info. ttx will reset the trends line tomorrow to something more useful to track progress.

server-maverick-cloud-kernel-upgrades needs some attention since there is some work separation between smoser and jjohansen, and a more detailed work items plan is desired.

On the community side, Mail & cluster stack look in great shape. jib asked to seperate items out for before & after feature freeze to help track things. The doc spec is also in good shape.

ACTION: smoser to coordinate with jjohansen and ttx to provide a more detailed work item overview for server-maverick-cloud-kernel-upgrades

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team

hggdh verified bug 565101, which should go to -updates as soon as possible. Additionally, he also did a quick test of bug 586134, and seems to work with 512 loop devices configured. There might be a delay in the Eucalyptus SRU due to a potential regression on bug 566793.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team

jjohansen is in vacation, so no progress yet on pv-ops. SpamapS mentioned that the proposed PTRACE changes would also affect negatively the ops population, and will chime in on the thread to make that concern known.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Documentation Team

Lucid serverguide PDF is available on h.u.c. For next week’s meeting, sommer will present new sections for which the doc team will need input from the server team.

ACTION: sommer to present list of sections that need input from server team

Papercuts selection for Alpha2 subcycle

We currently have 14 bugs nominated for a desired total of 16 targets, so choosing between them should be easy. Last-minute nominations can still occur since ttx will proceed with formal selection tomorrow morning. You can also start assigning yourself to those you’re interested in.

Weekly SRU review

SRU nominations were reviewed. The tracker for the new SRU process is under work, with an early view accessible here.

Open Discussion

server-maverick-openldap-dit was reviewed and approved. EtienneG brought up the question of which iSCSI target is being chosen for main/UEC: tgt is the answer, and ccheney will work on the MIR, and zul on the upstartification.

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, June 8th at 18:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

Weekly SRU review

Lucid has been added to the list of nominations to be reviewed while intrepid was removed (being EOL). The list of bugs fixed in the last 9 days has also been fixed and can again be used in the SRU weekly review.

A session about SRU improvement has been scheduled at the next UDS.

UDS Maverick

There is a tentative schedule available on the summit website.

Agree on next meeting date and time

Due to UDS the meeting has been canceled next week.

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, May 19th at 18:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

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

Review ACTION points from previous meeting

• mathiaz to fix a broken script with bug reporting link above (not done)
• ttx to follow up with ivoks/RoaKSoax on cluster stack state (done, but needs refresh)
• mathiaz to propose removal of dovecot-postfix on MLs (not done)

[ACTION] mathiaz to fix the “server fixed bugs” broken script

[ACTION] ttx to follow up with ivoks/RoaKSoax on cluster stack state

[ACTION] mathiaz to propose removal of dovecot-postfix on MLs

Lucid release status

FinalFreeze will hit us tomorrow, and then all uploads will need ReleaseTeam approval, so team members are advised to get every fix they can in by the end of the day. Here is the release-critical bugs status:

• 556343 (zul): mvo will run the test now again and once its finished, upload the syslog file

• 532733 (kirkland): forwarded upstream, haven’t made much progress on that one, not able to reproduce it easily (outside of the odd apt-get circumstance)

• 513273 (kirkland): uploaded fix was rejected, needs bug commenters to help do some testing on it against bochs

• 533029 (zul): pending on FFe

• 562261: sync approved, needs ArchiveAdmin action

Slow progress in the remaining work items in the specs. Eucalyptus merging and packaging should be complete today today, the others are assumed to still be on track.

Once those higher-priority items are taken care of, you can work on Lucid targets of opportunity. You can find a list of those on the release status page, or go directly to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+bugs for the complete list. The server team side of the release is appearing to be mostly in good shape, though more testing would not hurt, team members are encouraged to blog/call for that.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team

hggdh is still working on the issue preventing the UEC test rig to successfully run Topology 2 tests. mathiaz and kirkland will help him debug that. He is slowed down by a kernel issue preventing his KVM to work correctly (needs to try out the latest kernel). The ISO testcases are good since beta2 and should not change until release. hggdh also started to work on the EC2 tests, jump-starting from smoser’s work.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team

jjohansen reported that bug 530361 (support for DELL H200/H700/H800 SAS cards) was fixed in time for KernelFreeze. The remaining big issue is bug 546743, servers with ATI ES1000 cards don’t get anything on console. jjohansen is still investigating options but we are now past KernelFreeze, which reduces our choices. This can be rolled into a new kernel, workarounded in a kernel cmdline set at install-time, or mentioned in the release notes and shipped in a kernel SRU.

Weekly SRU review

zul conducted a quick review that didn’t end up with anything new accepted for SRU. The recently-fixed server bugs query is still broken and cannot be used. Note that zul plans to discuss SRU handling at next UDS.

Open discussion

zul mentioned he has been working on getting mysql-5.0 out of universe, and it should be ready to be removed from universe today. Some team members reported starting to have classic pre-release sleep trouble.

Announce next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Wednesday, April 21st at 14:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.
