I did more than just working on Apport, but I haven’t recorded that.

Drown in triaging FTBFS with Go1.20. Following uploads are directly to Debian.

Go compiler:

  • golang-1.19 1.19.5 point release (after approval from RT)
  • golang-1.20 1.20~rc3-2. Find a regression when triaging FTBFS in golang-github-minio-minio-go package.

Fix Go packages with Go1.20:

  • golang-github-lucas-clemente-quic-go 0.29.2-1 (This is sponsored by @jawn-smith to sync from Debian experimental)
  • golang-github-hashicorp-go-sockaddr 1.0.2-2
  • golang-github-magiconair-properties 1.8.7-1
  • golang-github-joyent-gocommon 0.0~git20161202.b787089-4
  • golang-github-vmware-govmomi 0.24.2-2
  • golang-github-traefik-yaegi 0.14.3-1

Open issues to upstream for failure with Go1.20

  • crewjam/saml#485
  • gatherstars-com/jwz#6

Been busy with merges and migrations

Distro

  • Worked on gnutls, p11-kit and libgcrypt merges (code ready, soon to be pushed for review)
  • Made pyyaml migrate
  • Merged botch for the above
  • Spent more time on coreutils’ migration:
    • uqm and dgit only required re-triggers (uqm tests are flaky, dgit had
      connection issues IIRC)
    • coreutils itself switched to 64-bit time_t and this makes datefudge and
      faketime without effect; this is likely to have consequences in other
      packages (especially for reproducible builds) since it applies to the
      ‘date’ binary for instance; summary and proposals to follow soon
  • Investigated autopkgtest failures triggered by my openssl merge:
    • ecflow: only glanced at it
    • mysql: re-triggered because a test timed out
    • petsc: only glanced at it
    • seqkit: no clue, fails on my machine but not on the same test as in the
      test runners

autopkgtest

  • Removed pyside2 from the never_run list given improvements in the time to launch instances / run tests.
  • Submitted an MP modifying how we wait when creating instances in a cloud region.
  • Submitted an MP documenting how to remove EoL releases from the autopkgtest database.
  • Updated the autopkgtest documentation at readthedocs.io so the above change would be available.
  • Submitted an RT regarding issues with creating amd64 instances in lgw01.
  • Created a new grafana graph which only shows autopkgtest runs that end with exit code 16 - a testbed failure.

Ubuntu

  • Updated wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases with 22.04.2 and Lunar.
  • Updated release team tasks to include updating wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases more often.
  • Created a Release Tracking document for 23.04 with details about daily image build failures.
  • Added @xypron to notify-addresses for ubuntu-server builds so they’d get riscv64 build failures.
  • Testing of the Lunar desktop installer w/ nvidia and w/ nouveau.
  • Reported a bug regarding “Try Ubuntu” being available after already trying it.
  • Reported a bug regarding adding ubuntu-unity support to ubuntu-release-upgrader. Notified @rs2009 about the bug and tagged it rls-kk-incoming for the Foundations team.
  • Reviewed and merged an updated ubuntu-release-upgrader MP adding a FIPS upgrade quirk.
  • Built, tested, and uploaded the above change to the Focal SRU queue - again.

  • Repeated issues with the arm64 VMs that host the armhf autopkgtests. Required manual intervention restarting the services.
    • This could be related to networking issues in bos02 scalingstack (same issue affecting s390x). The problem is not occurring anymore.
  • Investigating a case reported by @smb where a kernel autopkgtest run fails to install test dependencied.

Remainder of +1 rotation

On the last day of my +1 shift, I touched quite a few packages. See my full report for details.

Rust

I’ve mostly been working on getting Rust 1.65 ready for the upcoming Firefox version. I’m currently working on rustc 1.64 (not a typo, we need to do a step-by-step upgrade), and merged cargo 0.66 to lunar. This has taken most of my time, mostly because of a riscv64 FTBFS.

Misc

  • netplan: reviewed PR 299 in depth
  • apport: reviewed a new batch of PRs

I didn’t have a chance to keep much notes or be aware of what I am doing, but um

  • python-apt 2.5.1 brings basic deb822 support. We cannot match on multiple suites or URIs or types yet, that comes later. Potentially dragging that card to next pulse, let’s see how we get on with the grub work.
  • apt 2.5.5 is out
  • grub 2.06 is now available in proposed for focal and bionic as well, signed with 2022v1 key
  • preparing fwupd-efi resigning with 2022v1 keys
  • worked the day coming up with solutions to avoid updating shim if there are no trusted kernels to boot.
  • investigated python-apt test suite failures causing build failure, found issue, didn’t have chance to commit fix yet, switched back to working on boot stuff.

  • lsb merge discarded in favour of sync with upstream (LP: #2002318)
  • lsb-release-minimal force sync’d with upstream
  • Investigated changes required in ubiquity to support FDE on Pi desktop images; too complex to persure pursue at this time when the work would have to be restarted under the forthcoming subiquity installer anyway
  • Worked on another sbuild merge (LP: #2003201) which turned into an extended wrestling match with autopkgtest (still on-going; autopkgtest appears to have the upper hand at this point)
  • Investigating differences between experimental pi image builds and the current nightly (some odd differences; unsure of their source currently)
  • Working on spec for an Ubuntu flavour of raspi-config
  • Pi meetings
