qemu-system-riscv64 fails when running the UEFI SCT on EDK II (LP: #2055296) I sent a patch upstream that is enough for the SCT to run but which probably is not the final solution and identified which SCT test causes the issue when accessing an virtio-pci drive.
Silicon vendor collaboration
Packacked new vendor EDK II version
Board evaluation
Installed Ubuntu userland with vendor kernel on CanMV-K230.
u-boot-menu
Merge from Debian LP #2054686
console-setup
Merge from Debian LP #2054681 - sponsor needed
searx, searx-admin
Drop packages searx and searx-admin from noble (like Debian did)
sbuild: After working with upstream, all our remaining changes were merged upstream. Therefore I could sync 0.85.6 to noble. sbuild is finally in sync. This hasn’t be the case in recorded history.
Assisted with reconstruction of the autopkgtest database.
Pinged IS regarding issues with s0lp4 in bos02. RT 155441
Ubuntu
Reported bug 2054716 regarding policykit which was seen during a distribution upgrade from Jammy to Noble and caught during automated testing.
Helped with the final bits of the 22.04.4 release.
Disabled auto-syncs from Debian to help with the python3 transition. Reenabled them after they finished.
Reviewed, tested, merged @andersson123’s MP which added a pre-commit step for run-tests to ubuntu-cdimage. Thanks Tim!
Unblocked the Launchpad retracing service which had run out of disk space.
Pinged IS regarding the -changes mailing lists not receiving messages since Friday.
Merged an MP updating security-britney and the allowed arches and releases.
Did some detective work into security-britney charm and then updated the code on security-britney to include my change.
Submitted an MP updating the Feature Freeze announcement so that FFes are requested as early as possible rather than last minute when the upload is done.
Published release dates for Ubuntu 22.04.5 and Ubuntu 24.04.1.
Misc
Sorted out issues with my email configuration - sending email was not working.
PR: #1918 - tell curtin to use the ZFS keystore when doing the encrypted install. Once the above curtin MP is merged, one last tiny PR on subiquity and ZFS encrypted will be available.
started no-change rebuilds in Ubuntu of reverse dependencies of libtirpc3, libpng16-16 to try to move forward some of the uninstallable/unbuildable chains in noble-proposed
bootstrap build of cairo with various build-dependencies dropped to avoid several build-dependency loops; flagged this to jbicha for follow-up since the same will be needed in Debian
discussed https://bugs.debian.org/1065017 in Debian and concluded that libpam0g must not change package name due to its transitively essential status in the face of usrmerge transition, so we are reverting and will work out at leisure a solution for the ABI breakage of the two affected library entry points that to our knowledge no package in Debian has ever used
Over the last week I’ve spent a good amount of time on refactoring and architecture changes work for Subiquity to create a class of non-apport-reportable errors. WIP right now but hope to open a PR for this by tomorrow.
I’m doing a trial run of Subiquity Bug Triaging this week
