[00:21] lfaraone: It could be a security vulnerability, but it's unlikely to be something the security team fixes. [00:22] Because the interaction between ubiquity and network-manager only happens at install time, either it will get fixed by non-security processes before Intrepid release, or it won't get fixed for intrepid.

While ubiquity is fairly important, it's not usually installed on anyone's machine, and it only affects people who choose the "only ubiquity" option. [00:26] bdmurray, yes, interesting. In my case, I am connected to two different networks (different routers) [00:27] ah, this is a turf I am confortable on... TCP and routes [00:27] maco: What about it? [00:28] lfaraone: i was asking what to do with apport failed retrace. persia asked which one [00:28] Ah. [00:28] maco: That one still has a core dump: looks like the retracer knows it failed. In these cases, you might try rerunning the retracer locally against the provided data. [00:28] persia: ok well i have to run right now, but after the lecture, i'll figure out how to do that [00:29] If the local retrace works, you're all good. If it doesn't work, then we have a problem, and the best we can do is try to reproduce to get a stacktracde. [00:29] This is a good example because the user provided the data that causes the crash, so we don't want to lose it (otherwise, I'd say close it and tell the user to try again later).

[03:11] but Pablo confirmed it in comment 7 [03:12] mrooney: Ah. [03:13] In any case, we can't fix any of these bugs, since any fixes would require we put in new versions of the software (by that, new features too), and our freeze-exception application is slowly moving. [03:13] (sugar bugs) [03:14] is that right? [03:14] fixes don't require new versions do they? I thought plenty of times upstream patches are cherry picked to solve specific issues [03:17] mrooney: Well, none of the maintainers (myself included) have the time/ability to cherry-pick those patches. Often they are obscure problems, and the amount of time it would take is great, it's easier for us to just say "use the ppa if you want it to work" than to try to support legacy versions of the software. [03:18] yeah, I think that is a reasonable position [03:19] if it is fixed in a new version then you can mark as fix released and maybe wontfix in intrepid or something [03:19] assuming you know it was fixed in a newer version [03:19] mrooney: I thought "fix released" was only when those versions are in _a_ ubuntu repo. [03:21] mrooney: (since intrepid+1 isn't open yet) [03:22] mrooney: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/CommonTasks lets us use "fix released" for upstream if a "release tarball was [03:22] announed and is publicly available" [03:23] oh sorry I meant fix committed I think but charlie-tca also raises an interesting point [03:23] I was thinking fix released for the upstream task but I see there isn't one [03:25] but I agree lfaraone if you make a reasonably stable PPA available for Intrepid for those who want the upgrade, that seems fine [03:26] I wonder what impact the growing popularity of PPAs has on backports? [03:39] mrooney: well, I always feel uncomfortable with PPAs, as they would be a great way for malware to spread... [03:50] mrooney, charlie-tca, lfaraone: The upstream status has little to do with the Ubuntu status. If it's fixed upstream, it doesn't affect any Ubuntu tasks. [03:51] Setting Ubuntu tasks to Fix Committed in that case is incorrect. [03:51] PPAs are also do not count as reasons for bugs to be marked Fix Released. [03:51] s/are // [04:13] wgrant: oh, I guess I thought if the upstream was automatically synced then fix comitted was okay, is that only if upstream released?

[04:24] that looks like a directory structure to me [04:24] /usr is a directory, /bin is a directory. [04:24] I am not sure what you mean [04:24] well it asked me [04:25] to confirm dirs during the cpan set up [04:25] for example it said [04:25] whers my gzip progrma /bin/gzip [04:25] i went to look manually and the file gzip claims [04:25] it automatically checks /usr/bin for programs, afaik.

[20:56] what was the response? it's all well and good opening needs-packaging bugs, but they need someone with the time to actually package them. and looking at some of the upstream source tarballs, it's going to need someone quite committed to actually do it [20:57] chrisccoulson: No direct response. [20:59] there are currently 1192 open needs-packaging bugs. that's a phenomenal amount of packaging work to do [21:00] chriscoulson: Well, I'm working my last needs-packaging of the day. Then I'll go learn to triage something else. The endless number of needs-packaging video editors can sit a little longer. [21:01] Yeah, there isn't really a burning need to do anything with those. [21:01] i wonder how many older ones are for packages that we've inherited from debian in more recent development cycles [21:01] But Intrepid needs our help!

However, the package is auto-synced from Debian. As a result, we should send the patch upstream to Debian, and then wait to sync it. I have already added a comment telling the user to send the patch upsream, and added a Debian bug watch (without a url) to the Launchpad bug. What status should I give to the Ubuntu bug? It does not require any work, it is complete, but we ... [23:32] ... really shouldn't upload the patch. Won't Fix? [23:33] nhandler_: no I think that belongs as Confirmed, until it is properly sent upstream, then Triaged [23:34] mrooney: Doesn't triaged signify that a bug has all of the information required for a Dev to begin working on it? [23:35] that or that it has been sufficiently handled in Ubuntu and the ball is in upstreams hands [23:36] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status doesn't seem to indicate that so either I am wrong (although I am pretty sure about it) or that page needs updating [23:36] bdmurray: any hints? [23:37] nhandler_: how minor? [23:37] Triaged sounds the most correct [23:37] bdmurray: It is a string fix. I actually think mrooney reported the bug ;) [23:37] well, lets see that bug! [23:38] Basically I think triaged is to signify that the bug package needs no more work in launchpad until more work is done elsewhere [23:38] Never mind, mrooney just changed the status and subscribed to it ;) LP: #250824 [23:38] bug 250824 [23:38] Launchpad bug 250824 in pylint "pylint manpage refers to wrong directory as See Also" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/250824 [23:39] mrooney: This bug will never need any more work on our end. We will either need a separate bug report for the sync, or it will be automatically synced. This Ubuntu bug serves no purpose IMO [23:39] well, it prevents others from submitting it [23:39] or it might [23:40] yeah I think it serves a purpose from the side of users [23:40] nhandler_: but it would take work on someone's part to close it right? [23:40] I wonder why I set it to Medium though... [23:41] it should be Low, I imagine? [23:41] yeah, low sounds right [23:41] bdmurray: The package is automatically synced from Debian. Once Debian applies the changes, someone would have to create a sync request bug (which would be separate from this bug). Or, if we wait until Jaunty, it will be automatically synced (no bug report) [23:42] nhandler_: couldn't the debian changelog reference the lp bug number? [23:43] yes then it should close automatically, right? [23:44] bdmurray: That would be up to the Debian Maintainer. In my experience, they usually only close the Debian Bug Report when they patch the bug, not the Launchpad one [23:45] bdmurray: yes bug 277730 is my bug. Can I help in any way?

[23:49] No you did not mrooney [23:50] There are arguments on both sides that make sense [23:53] I always assumed Triaged was the best status to signify that the work belongs upstream and upstream is aware of it [23:53] +1 [23:53] though I can see where it can leave dangling reports if the bugs aren't linked and no one notices [23:54] though how harmful a fixed dangling report is, who can know. [23:54] not really -- if we set a watch on the upstream, we will know when it was closed [23:58] its still would require manually work on someone's part to close it which is unfortunate
