cloud-init
- Landed MP 370927 to fix bug 1838794, a doc rewrite for the
cc_set_passwordsmodule - Worked on and submitted MP 371053 to introduce support for configuring secondary NICs in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Virtual Machines
- Helped a couple of Debian users in #cloud-init
- Submitted and landed MP 371090 to remove the (unused) intersphinx plugin from our Sphinx configuration
- This was prompted by it causing occasional hangs when I was doing doc builds locally
- Code reviews
- Uploaded a new upstream snapshot of cloud-init to eoan including the above two changes
- This should mean they are included in the eoan daily cloud images over the weekend
- Discussed (in bug 1839538) the “plethora of values that are accepted” by cloud-init for true/false flags (e.g. “on”, “true”, “1”, “yes”, true are all “True” values)
- The conclusion was that we should close that bug Won’t Fix and avoid introducing more configuration options that support the values
- I filed bug 1839659 for discussion of a deprecation plan for the string values
curtin
- No significant curtin work this week.
ubuntu-advantage-client
- Proposed and landed PR #701 to drop support for authenticating with Ubuntu SSO
- It was decided against at the UX review at last week’s planning sprint
- Landed PR #697 fixing an issue with contracts with expiry dates
- After internal discussion (mentioned last week), filed #700 to convert the UA client codebase to black formatting
- Submitted PR #705 to introduce black config, and apply black formatting to the parts of the codebase that don’t have in-flight changes
- Code reviews
- Re-reviewed a couple of @chad.smith’s branches: PR #688, PR #699
Miscellaneous
- Off on Monday for Civic Day, so some extra catch-up early in the week
- Last week was an internal planning sprint, so more meetings than usual this week to debrief
- I use Workrave to help manage my RSI, and definitely recommend it
- This week I filed a couple of issues for improvements I would like to see: issue #146, issue #147
- cloud-init/curtin bug triage on Tuesday
- Pretty light day both for bugs and CI issues
== Tuesday, August 6, 2019 ==
- Updated python-seamicroclient and python-boto branches for review
- Last work day, I:
- Uploaded python-boto
- python-seamicroclient changelog tweak, repushed for review approval
- BugTriage manual
Packaging
- Merge for python-boto posted for review, approved, and uploaded.
- Prepared merge of exim4 4.92-10, but since upstream has just released 4.92.1 I shifted focus to that. Merge posted for review.
Development
- Kafka
- Orientation for Lucas on Kafka and java packaging
- php 7.2 to 7.3 transition
- Sorted out a GPG signing timeout in script, modified gpg-agent to allow infinite timeout.
- Completed full set of builds in PPA, ready for upload, but is gated on going in after the Mysql8 transition.
- Built list of packages that need uploaded in specific ordering, in case people need to do this while I’m on vacation.
- Started drafting FFe, if this needs to go in post-FF
- ppa-dev-tools
- Troubleshooting for why ppa-wait doesn’t wait for packages to fully publish. It appears the LP API isn’t communicating this, but need to do some additional experimentation.
- Ubuntu Maintainers’ Handbook
- Re-sent pull request for initial set of changes, now that canonical-server has taken ownership of it.
- Continued work on Bug Triage page, merging in information from the team wiki page. Still WIP, but just needs copyediting at this point.
Reviews
- Reviewed ldb merge for Andreas.
- General advice for @lucaskanashiro on preparing SRUs.
