Patch Pilot Hand-off 26.10

seb128 · July 17, 2026, 8:03pm

Notes from my sponsoring shift done this week. It was also the opportunity to experiment with a bot I’m working on to help doing a first automated review of sponsoring requests (in case you saw some activity from ubuntu-sponsoring-bot account, I plan to do a discourse post next week about it)

libinput fix + R/N SRU

Security update for stable serie but no fix proposed for stonking, requested for that to be addressed first

launchpad git failed to produce a diff but also seems to target the wrong branch, asked to fix that

SRU for jammy but doesn’t state if it’s fixed in newer series and the description isn’t SRU compliant, asked for those points to be addressed

sponsored

asked for the SRU to be rebased on the recent security update

livecd-rootfs
- I got pinged about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/2160092:
  - All MPs were opened using git-ubuntu, so I’ve cherry-picked the commits in the right livecd-rootfs tree.
  - Sponsored all three stonking, resolute, and noble changes.
- At the same time, I was made aware of Bug #2161121 “[SRU] Apparmor feature mismatch for the 7.0 kernel...” : Bugs : livecd-rootfs package : Ubuntu
  - Merged as well into the noble branch, and sponsored.
openssl
- Ravi pinged me with Merge into debian/experimental : merge-lp2160606-stonking : lp:~ravi-sharma/ubuntu/+source/openssl : Git : Code : openssl package : Ubuntu
- Uploaded, the openssl 4.0 transition has now started!

Although the sponsoring report is a week old or so, I could help here and there with:

memcached SRUs for resolute and noble, which I reviewed and sponsored;
ceph/20.2.1-0ubuntu1 reviewed and sponsored;
Looked at MP #509234 (sssd) - I have an ongoing merge, so I reviewed it and will work on including the changes together in the merge. Also agreed to review and hopefully sponsor the SRUs to resolute, noble and jammy.

reviewed + sponsored

MP 510398 (erlang)

reviewed + provided feedback

LP: #2151177 (renesas-iot-defaults): Needs packaging, interesting, not looked at as I could see. I asked for some more info in the bug itself, and warned about FF and the need for some AA pinging if this should still go to Stonking (as stated in the bug).
LP: #2161172 (flrig): has two MPs open linked:
- MP 508661 (stonking)
  The fix is released upstream, and Debian is several versions behind, but not affected by the bug (gcc15 magic, LTO). I asked about the possibility to work on pushing the new version to Debian instead, to avoid delta on a previously untouched universe package.
- MP 508661 (resolute SRU)
  For a SRU, we would need a better test plan in the bug and/or some justification on why the (minimal) change should have little impact or regression potential.
LP: #2160023 (base-files): Fixed in devel, being SRUed to Resolute. As the bad behavior was introduced in Kinetic, I asked why the SRU points only to Resolute. The bug states it’s intended for the point release, which at this point (heh) is pretty much closed.

reviewed + commented

MP 509081 (landscape-client): MP for an SRU to Noble, but the patch, accepted upstream, is not even in Stonking yet. Suggested pinging Lanscape people for planning the backport properly.

queue cleanup

Asked the author to mark MP 509212 (ibus-libpinyin), MP 509229 (lua-json) and MP 509233 (apache2) as “Merged” as these are uploaded and thus need no Sponsoring anymore (:
