If you are interested in what is going on, you can subscribe to this post.
Please reserve responses in this thread ONLY to hand-off reports. If you have a question as a contributor please check with the current patch pilot. If you need a clarification from the last pilot please reach out to them separately. If you have a more general question please create a new topic in this category.
To the incoming pilot: please take a moment to review the updates from the previous session. It provides the context you’ll need to pick up where they left off. When writing your own report, please include the following headlines:
Notable Achievements
Important Context
Notable Contributors (tag them if you know their discourse username)
Program Improvements (anything that you think needs documenting or otherwise improving)
LP: #2097539 – heat – Reviewed status, but given this is openstack (and mruffell seems to understand their procedures far better than I do!) I left this alone
LP: #2101850 – ipu-drivers – Reviewed status, doesn’t appear to be anything to do? I get the impression the merges attached are now false entries in the sponsorship report
LP: #2121842 – libmbim – Reviewed and sponsored with minor version number changes for plucky and noble SRU (including to .symbols); unsubscribed
LP: #2125448 – iproute2 – Reviewed and sponsored for plucky, noble, and jammy SRU; unsubscribed
LP: #2104094 – nvidia-settings – Reviewed, added targetting for questing, plucky, noble, and jammy; unsubscribed pending missing patches
LP: #2125156 – ubuntu-drivers-common – Reviewed, but left alone given @enr0n’s comment regarding pending jammy SRU
LP: #2127480 – lshw – Reviewed, but it looks like @enr0n’s assigned to the resolute task, so left alone
gnome-shell PR for noble: it was sponsored already, with a different version, and is in the unapproved noble queue. I processed it with my SRU hat on, and accepted into noble-proposed.
LP: #2130032: bpfcc s390x enablement. Testing a build: if it passes, I’ll sponsor. Left a comment in the bug to that effect.
lxd-agent-loader PR: asked for more information about the reason for the change (what bug is it fixing).
*libinput PR: verified that the changes are in the resolute archive already, marked closed.
LP: #2130370: keystone fix for resolute and questing. I created a branch with the resolute debdiff, and uploaded to a ppa. If it builds, and autopkgtests pass, I’ll sponsor.
Didn’t get to as much as I’d hoped this week (written interview took some of the time, along with some pending merge work):
LP: #2101850 – ipu-drivers – Associated merges look redundant; left request for them to be deleted
LP: #2127480 – lshw – Same status as before; @enr0n’s assigned to the resolute task
LP: #2125145 – makedumpfile / crash – Reviewed status, sponsored crash for plucky and questing
LP: #2126559 – initramfs-tools – Reviewed status, suggested changes to SRU template, sponsored for plucky and noble (minor change required to version number)
LP: #2127473 – linux-firmware-nvidia-tegra – Reviewed status; left comments on SRU template
LP: #2131967 – software-properties – Review requested on matrix; appears lp:software-properties/ubuntu/noble didn’t reflect the current state of the archive so I updated it with the last noble upload and sponsored the rebased changes
