* Full logs are available here.

== Meeting summary ==

=== Review ACTION points from previous meeting ===

Arosales expected to have the new burndown chart by the end of the day.

=== Saucy Development ===

There were no critical release bugs at this moment. Daviey asked that
everyone take another look to make sure blueprints are all correct.

* ”ACTION:” everyone look over blueprints one more time

=== Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (plars) ===

There were some failures late last week with the server image, but those
are all good now except the floodlight test, which kernel team will bisect
for.

=== Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb) ===

Regression testing against dkms packaging is still todo. smb was waiting
for a list of dkms packages, Daviey wanted all. jibel had mentioned having
a prototype ready.

=== Weekly Updates & Questions regarding Ubuntu ARM Server (rbasak) ===

No new updates or questions. No updates yet on go 1.1 in saucy on arm,
so rbasak was going to look into that.

* ”ACTION:” rbasak to follow up on go 1.1. saucy arm issue

=== Open Discussion ===

There was some discussion on post-meeting work not being regularly done
by meeting chairs. Since everything is nicely documented in the server
guide, it was agreed that a weekly reminder to the meeting chair to
follow the steps therein would be useful.

* ”ACTION:” rbasak consider telling hallyn to add a todo item to meeting checklist to remind meeting chair about the wiki page checklist.

== Action items ==

* (carried over) arosales: create a overview topic bp for servercloud
* everyone look over blueprints one more time
* rbasak to follow up on go 1.1. saucy arm issue
* rbasak consider telling hallyn to add a todo item to meeting checklist to remind meeting chair about the wiki page checklist.

We have moved the Ubuntu Sever blog to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Meeting

All updates will occur there now. Please follow the latest on Ubuntu Server there.

It was decided not to send an alpha-2 call for testing, but to wait for beta instead. Daviey mentioned that matsurba has kindly offered to help with dep-8 tests.

BLUEPRINTS

Daviey thinks we look a little further behind than we actually are, and asks that everyone take a look to make sure their blueprints are uptodate. If you’d like to mark some items postponed, please first talk to Daviey, jamespage or smoser.

5. Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb) (hallyn, 16:24:08)
   

Bug 1031090 (“kvm_intel not loadable in a quantal guest”) was
discussed. It was decided that since it only deteriorates performance of
kvm inside a nested kvm guest, it was not urgent to push to 12.04.1, but
can rather wait for an update.

Review Actions from previous meeting

There were no action items from the previous meeting.

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.

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.

Updates & Questions from the Ubuntu Community

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

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, August 23d at 16:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

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

A large portion of the team was out, recovering from last week’s terrific sprint. Alpha2 is out this week, and Daviey asks that we all give it a try and report bugs. Handling our incoming bug count is a priority but we also need to focus on feature development. Ping Daviey if you are unclear on what should be your priorities.

The team welcomed new members m_3, utlemming and Ursinha, then adjourned.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb)

smb reminded the team about his email asking about iscsitarget.

Weekly Updates & Questions from the Ubuntu Community

cp1 asked what we might do to better keep up with security updates. He feels we were slow with the last exim update, particularly compared to debian. jdstrand, kees, and dholbach came back with suggestions:

Last week smb was mainly working on multipath debugging and looking at proposed xen patches. There is some work to do for -virtual config work. The config needs to be improved to include filesystem modules. smoser and smb will discuss further offline.

Weekly Updates & Questions from the Ubuntu Community

kim0 mentioned Ubuntu Cloud Days is next week (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCloudDays). We can add days to add more slots, so don’t be shy about proposing a topic. SpamapS may propose ensemble topics, with and without the ensemble team. ivoks mentioned that it would be nice to add vlan package to CD and possibly installed by default. This should be discussed at next UDS. ttx asked about the “Ubuntu Server Task Forces” (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntutheproject-community-n-server. Daviey is says he absolutely is still looking at that.

Open Discussion

SpamapS feels that the meeting format could use streamlining. Perhaps this should be discussed at the next meeting. Please feel free to add it to the Agenda if you concur.

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, Mar 22nd at 16:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

(Reproduced from James Page’s blog post, a member of the Ubuntu Server Team)

Many of you may have wondered what I [James Page] have been doing since UDS-N; some of you may have know that I have been working on packaging Jenkins (nee Hudson) from source along with all of its build dependencies (all 80 of them).

After just over 3 months I’ve managed to get a 99% built from source Jenkins into the Hudson Ubuntu Testing PPA; this is core Jenkins only at this point in time; no plugins come bundled (although you can still install them using the Plugin Manager).

If you want to help out with testing, read on….

Getting started

So first things first; lets add the Jenkins testing PPA and install the jenkins package:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hudson-ubuntu/testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jenkins

Wait some time and Jenkins should be up and running.

Accessing Jenkins

Once the package has installed you should be able to access Jenkins on http://localhost:8080 (or whatever server you installed it on).

Jenkins comes completely empty; no jobs, minimal configuration, no security.  Follow the normal Jenkins ‘Use Jenkins‘ guide to get started.

Reporting problems

This is a testing package so it ain’t going to be perfect. Please join the hudson-ubuntu-users team and subscribe to the mailing list on launchpad to discuss general issues and report problems.

You can also find me (jamespage) in #ubuntu-server on Freenode if you like to use IRC.

Whats still todo?

Well as I said this is 99% built from source; a few packages are either binary packages (built from jars) or packages that bundle their dependencies in the upstream source bundle. I’m working with upstream(s) to get these issues sorted.

That said, everything that is installed on your server or desktop in the jenkins package IS built from source. Offending packages are either used for testing or generating documentation during library builds.

I’m also going to start working on packaging a few core plugins from source (see the associated blueprint for details); for the time being you can download and install from within Jenkins. I will also create a patch so that this feature can be disable if required.  Please feel free to apply to join the team if you want to package a plugin.

The Future

Well ultimately probably the main Ubuntu archive and Debian; but lets leave that until next release….

And if you were wondering, Hudson renamed itself to Jenkins in late January (hence the Hudson name keeps creeping into this post).
