autopkgtest-cloud

  • Continued making progress on the python3-amqplib to python3-amqp port, and that will come with a big chunk of improvements on the development experience with autopkgtest-cloud, like being able to run every script manually directly from the git repo, instead of requiring the charm, which is very inconvenient when doing development.
    • Finished the MP.
    • Tested that locally as a fresh new environment.
    • Tested that on staging, to see the upgrade path, and things that would break on production.
    • Everything is now ready for deployment next Tuesday.
  • Investigate and improve the “quota situation” (autopkgtest-cloud MP + private IS PR to fix the existing)
  • Add support for indirect team membership when verifying if a user can submit test requests: MP (not deployed yet)

  • Hiring
  • Engagement survey

+1 Maintenance week

  • Lots of retries (around 1300); I have mixed feelings about it because it has been useful as far as I can tell but it was also manual (although very easy to do: I’ve probably spent less than 15 minutes in total clicking after three days), partly due to aggressive re-triggers upon testbed failures
  • More than 60 packages migrated thanks to retries, including ones from several weeks and a cluster for php
  • Learnt about coq transitions
  • Looked at the OCaml transition but Matthias solved it with no-change rebuilds in Debian that I couldn’t do directly anyway
  • Asked for removal of 7 postgresql-related packages: Bug #2089236 " Remove NBS 32-bit postgresql extension packages, ... : Bugs : mobilitydb package : Ubuntu
  • Preparing bugs for removal of a dozen packages (related to adios2 and mayavi2)
  • Added golang-github-protonmail-go-crypto to big_packages (I need to find the MR again, thanks Tim!)
  • I’ll write a lot more details in my +1 report (especially about what I’ve learnt)

Spent most of the time whacking the APT test suite into shape for testing apt-ftparchive changes and released APT 2.9.12. Still failing tests due to issues with valgrind, need to do yet another followup.

Plenty of nice meetings and discussions too. Met new people on Mattermost who had questions about APT usage or wishes about APT UI.

autopkgtest-cloud

auto-upgrade-testing

  • Working on changing image generation to use custom cloud-configs and hopefully reduce flakiness in upgrade testing.

misc

  • pyasn1 made its way out of proposed-migration with minimal prodding.
  • Looking over the update-excuses queue, some flakiness with amd64 infra means tests need to be retried periodically.
  • Trying to fix build issues with a few packages (namely tiledarray).
