subiquity

  • digging into partitioning/storage code within Subiquity
  • opened draft PR https://github.com/canonical/subiquity/pull/1433 - accept extended partition with size -1 in autoinstall. This is still work in progress as partitions with size: -1 do not determine their maximum size properly.

ubuntu-release-upgrader

  • Proposed fix for LP 1991096 “Upgrading Lubuntu and/or Kubuntu Jammy to Kinetic fails when using GUI”
  • Investigated LP 1964036 “Firefox icon missing from panel following Kubuntu upgrade 20.04->22.04”
    • While it is true that u-r-u should drop it’s firefox entry in deb2snap.json, it does not appear that this is actually the cause of the missing dock icon. Testing upgrades without this entry still resulted in a missing icon, suggesting it’s an issue with the firefox deb.

Other

  • Created KineticUpgrades wiki page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KineticUpgrades)
  • Investigated LP 1989596 “Completing Copying of Logs stage takes a very long time”
    • This turned out to be a side effect of a systemd bug that was fixed in the latest upload (LP 1990278). The fact that systemd-resolved was not included in the bootstrap changed the impact of lb_chroot_resolv, and meant that the build environment’s /etc/resolv.conf was being left in the chroot and final squashfs.
  • Meeting with @bdrung about systemd-coredump and apport
  • Fixed LP 1990578 “FTBFS due to syntax error in test.sh” (socat)
  • Fixed LP 1990562 “attempting to diff static library files raises UnicodeDecodeError”
    • This resolves the numpy FTBFS from the archive test rebuild.

This week I am on +1 maintenance.

python-exchangelib

python-fluids

  • Autopkgtests failed.
  • Graham synced python-fluids 1.0.22-1 (universe) from Debian sid (main) (LP: #1990962)

vectorscan

  • vectorscan does not build on amd64
    This seems to be due to warnings for the implementation of vectors in libboost.
    We have not updated libboost since 2 years. We should have a look at it after the Kinetic release.

python-typing-inspect

  • Autopgktests failed for python-marshmallow-dataclass with python-typing-inspect 0.8.0-1
    python-marshmallow-dataclass package
  • Added upstream patches (LP: 1991064)

nbconvert

  • Fixed autopkgtest failure due to incorrect regular expression (LP: #1991104)

gemmi

  • Fix autopkgtest failures due to mathematical accuracy by suppressing unreliable tests on non-amd64.
    (LP: #1991116)

zookeeper

  • zookeeper leads to autopkg issues for package patroni. This was resolved in Debian’s zookeeper (3.8.0-4).
  • Applied remaining Ubuntu changes to Debian’s version 3.8.0-8 (LP: #1990151)

Thanks to Graham (@ginggs) for sponsoring and discussions.

  • Foundation bug triaging

N+1

I spent most of my time on building/testing audacity 3.1.3/3.2.0 and fighting against multiple issues. See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2022-September/042319.html for detail.

Other

I spent some time to refresh upstream merge requests and doing bug triage. I forgot to document some stuff that I did.

  • Fixed apt phasing/solver bugs. Still not optimal but better :smiley:
  • New bug came in too where dependencies of phased packages are installed but phased package is kept back. That’s always happened before in update-manager due to how the algorithm is implemented.
  • Wrote some slides
