  • Discovered and resolved an issue with an autopkgtest-web worker having an out of date autopkgtest.db.
  • Investigated an issue for an autopkgtest user where their test requests were disappearing.

Autopkgtest-cloud

  • Worked on making staging available: it’s now running jobs for amd64! Still some ironing out for other architectures, metrics, and probably other stuff, but it’s getting useful again.
  • Once again, debugging my local OpenStack after 2024 reboot for running local autopkgtest-cloud. This time, mysql was faulty, and a juju refresh mysql + for i in cinder-mysql-router glance-mysql-router horizon-mysql-router keystone-mysql-router neutron-mysql-router nova-api-mysql-router nova-cell-mysql-router nova-mysql-router placement-mysql-router; do juju refresh $i; done fixed it. Thanks to @jamespage for his support :+1:
  • Debugging my local devel deployment, that’s currently being stuck with unit autopkgtest-web stalled on waiting with Waiting on RabbitMQ to configure vhost. This currently prevents me from going forwards with the local dev MP.

Proposed migration

Misc

  • Going back a bit on the curtin VM test suite: it had some timeout failures, now fixed, but still needs careful monitoring

Short week, Happy New Year

Archive

  • NEW processing of picom-conf for Lubuntu team
  • Following up on bug report about missing command-not-found data for noble; this was a casualty of the data center migration, still being fixed.

Happy New Year All!

Only been a two day week so far. I’ve been doing +1 maintenance. So far I’ve been looking at:

  • From FTBFS report (I am ignoring Debian Python transition things)
    • aspectc++ arm64 (LP: #2048089)
      • Seems like a libc header issues: __Float32x4_t and __Float64x2_t types missing (referred to by math–vector.h)
    • bedtools sync (LP: #2048088)
      • Latest Debian version no longer FTBFS
      • Ubuntu delta is also now included upstream
      • Sync requested from Debian
    • PCSX2 (LP: #2048072)
      • Someone interested might want to upload the “pre-release”s from upstream to Debian, as the “release” is ancient. (Bonus points: the latest version works on amd64 and also drops wxWidgets as a dependency)
      • Fix uploaded
    • clog (LP: #2048084)
      • Missing cstdint include in libshared/JSON2.h
      • Fix waiting for sponsoring
    • cunit (LP: #2048086)
      • Broken by incorrect use of the POSIX curses API
      • Fix waiting for sponsoring
  • Merges from MoM
    • Cryptsetup: rebase of previously split changes

Distro

Apport

  • ci: drop Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster”
  • working on adding systemd-coredump support. The core part is done: converting the crash data from systemd-coredump to a apport problem report. Next step is to write the binary and systemd service that does this conversion.

  • fix alex4 dependency - LP: #2046388
  • fix build time tests for libcgi-application-plugin-authentication-perl which has been blocking libcgi-pm-perl from moving out of -proposed - LP: #2047961
    • This may need a sync to finally push this through? NMU’d to Debian unstable instead of introducing Ubuntu delta. Edit: 0.23+~cs0.5-3 is now in -proposed!
