Well, we can fix the KPI to track the thing we’re actually trying to drive to zero!
The other items should get attention, yes. But kernel patches in particular are not really an Ubuntu community thing.

Let’s do it!
A quick point of clarification: there’s a difference, in this case, between kernel packages and kernel-adjacent packages. The former, yeah, not touching with a 10-foot pole, let Canonical Kernel take care of that. The latter gets more fuzzy, because that covers e.g. DKMS-related packages that I’d rather not touch, but don’t fall into the direct “jurisdiction” of Canonical Kernel.
Those packages will still show up, and are still on the general report, but are not something most sponsors feel comfortable touching. We should think about either asking someone from Canonical Kernel to rotate and take care of these, and/or ask skilled/willing individuals from Foundations/another team to do the same.
My shift today was affected by multiple conflicting meetings and interruptions. So I couldn’t get lots of stuff done.
zlib
merge, at least:
Excited to be able to help a bit more with patch pilot now that I’m a core dev
In between meetings, I did some archaeology for the zeitgeist merge, and looked at the libgcrypt20 SRU.
Since the current queue is mostly made out of Canonical contributions, I’d like future shifts to prioritize the zeitgeist merge if possible as it is a pure community contribution.
This shift was my first patch pilot shift were I got pinged on #ubuntu-devel. It look like the patch pilot program takes off!
lomiri-download-manager merge: Uploaded.
Chromium deb version number is misleading: Uploaded to F/J/L/M.
oprofile FTBFS fix: Sponsored after adjusting the changelog entry and incorporating the proposed debdiff into git-ubuntu. Unfortunately the build now fails on riscv64, so I pinged Sudip about it.
dbus merge: Left a comment saying that I believe situation with usr-is-merged
should be resolved first, and marked the MP as “Needs Fixing”.
These were somewhat complex reviews, so I only managed to do these 3.
I merged the icu changes in Merge into debian/sid : ubuntu/devel : lp:~liushuyu-011/ubuntu/+source/icu : Git : Code : icu package : Ubuntu
The other issues were either Incomplete or already done so I set their states accordingly, so no items remained after my shift, well two new ones appeared.
Congratulations, we have a near-empty queue!
I’ll try to “hold down the fort” here and there over the course of the break, but there probably won’t be much to do (and I hope I’m jinxing it )
(Does KPI even support 0?)
Reviewed three merges done by Sudip Mukherjee.
As I lack Universe upload permissions at the moment, tsimonq2 did the actual sponsoring for all of these. I would like to thank him, vorlon, and rbasak for the additional help and guidance they provided in the process, and of course I would like to thank sudip for creating the patches. We made a great team.
Just worked on the SRU debdiffs for horst. Got them reviewed and accepted for Mantic, Lunar, and Jammy. I didn’t have time to do Focal this time around, but it’s on my radar (though if someone else wants to pick it up, that’s fine too). Bug #2045986 “[SRU] no WiFi card, ends with segfault” : Bugs : horst package : Ubuntu Thanks to @tsimonq2 for copiloting and training me during the process!
