  • Updated RT 155557 regarding issues provisioning instances on grimer.
  • Modified autopkgtest code to stop requesting instances on a couple of misbehaving hosts.

ISO Tracker

  • Merged an MP from @xypron with fixes for the licheerv test case.

Ubuntu

  • Removed Ubuntu Release task for updating the ubuntu.calendar in bsdmainutils because it was removed.
  • Overrode some false positive regressions for the phased-updater.
  • Updated the raspi/os_list_imagingutility_ubuntu.json file on changelogs.u.c for the new Ubuntu Core images.
  • Tested installing the 22.04.2 point release with nvidia graphics (on-line and off-line installs)

  • subiquity
    • PR: 1566 (LP: #2007554) - fix parameterized tests with async. Shared fix upstream
    • PR: 1569 (LP: #2004659) - update detection of default routes. On network manager systems, the route probing done there results in Subiquity incorrectly believing there is no default route.
    • PR: 1573 - reverted a change in snap version comparison. This was originally implemented as part of fixing LP: #1936190, but we decided that whatever version is offered on the snap channel should “win”.
  • mini-iso-tools
    • upload v0.2.0 based on recently merged previous work
    • continued work on livecd-rootfs MP to implement the ISO creation
  • notcurses (LP: #2008108) - @schopin observed that the test failure on armhf was not the same as the known flaky test. Tracked down a test that seems to have been reliant on some glibc undefined behavior, send a PR upstream, and uploaded an ubuntu3 version of notcurses which passes the glibc armhf test.

Tried to work on some packages:

  • glibc
    • LP #1992159: Syntax error defien in socket.h
  • casper
    • LP #1990621: PXE Boot contains wrong suggested link to ISO for live file system

Tested 22.04.2 Images and found a few minor bugs:

  • LP #1967015: Release notes link in KDE frontend launches Kate
  • LP #1760302: No option/message “Is plugged to a power source” on laptop
  • LP #2008078: Wrong keyboard layout was selected in Kubuntu Installer
  • LP #2008089: Kubuntu installer deviates from described Testcase
  • LP #2008244: Pressing a key does not interrupt the boot sequence after rainbow" splash screen
  • LP #2008260: Raspbarry Pi 2 did not boot after rainbow" splash screen

I still mainly work my way into Ubuntu/Debian packaging and looking through the existing dotnet packages for Ubuntu.

  • Opened a Pull-Request to the Ubuntu Maintainers Guide to add missing installation instructions to use Canonistack for autopkgtest.

  • #2002871 Fix pkgbinarymangler tests with debhelper 13.10
    pkgbinarymangler has been uploaded. But debian/changelog is still trimmed in PPA. Shall we hack on debhelper or dpkg, or wait launchpad-buildd to pass DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=notrimdch for PPA?

subiquity

  • merged PR 1564 to optionally fallback to an offline install.
  • further investigation of curtin’s curthooks dropping user configuration. Opened MP to fix bug in curtin. A few comments to address but test case works properly with fixes in curtin and subiquity.
  • investigated mirror testing not honoring apt settings. This is caused by apt CLI options not taking precedence over configuration files. Working on a fix.
  • working on optionally splitting packages downloads from package installs in curtin.
  • investigated LP: #2007582 but was not able to reproduce.
  • reviewed some of the active directory PRs

distro

  • merged sysvinit 3.06 (thanks @jawn-smith for sponsoring!)

  • security & compliance trainings

glibc

Ongoing work looking into the glibc autopkgtest results, which keep on coming.
All current failures are either already solved, failing because of other factors (hi dkms and kernel!) or can’t be run at all. Might be time to hint?

rustc

Reviews and sponsoring of cargo 0.67 then 0.68, and rustc 1.66.1 then 1.67, with a bit of a scramble this morning when the latter turned out to produce unusable binaries.

apport

Usual load of reviews

Distro

+1 maintenance

  • tiledarray: Closed build-depends on non-existent libbtas-dev and opened 1.0.0-1 FTBFS
  • python-pytest-flake8 -> python-flake8 -> Retry icdiff/2.0.6-1 on s390x
  • cssutils: The proper solution would be to upgrade to a new upstream version, but Debian is in freeze. So I cherry-picked one upstream commit for 2to3 and did a simple test fix for Python 3.11 and uploaded 1.0.2-7 to Debian unstable.

Rust

Ubuntu ROCK

  • Finished preliminary investigation of the requirements for the Rust development image. Since some development tools are missing from the archive, we need to include them either by packaging them in the archive or creating a Snap.

MIR

  • Currently working on getting libdigest-md5-file-perl and libswitch-perl included in main: (LP#2007279)
