10:13.41JaffaHi, anyone seen https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12564 - andre__'s linked to an upstream patch for a resource leak in microb-engine
10:13.43povbotBug 12564: microb-engine: Daemon does not shut down properly when no connection and browser closed when connection dialog opens
10:14.22andre__I'm not too optimistic seeing the progress of my reports so far :/
10:14.31andre__(which is no criticism, just missing manpower, I guess)
10:14.57freemangordonhttp://gitorious.org/community-ssu/microb-engine/commit/73ead33cb1df986e923b00b1290798086f9eb706
10:15.10andre__Yay.
10:15.18andre__but why no comment in bugzilla?
10:15.40freemangordonas it is still on gitorious only ( and in cssu-thumb)
10:15.51andre__I see... still cannot hurt :)
10:15.55andre__thanks!
10:16.00freemangordonnothing released in -testing so far
10:17.09freemangordonnp :)
10:19.27JaffaStill, I agree with andre__ - comment in Bugzilla wouldn't hurt to show that the package is imported into CSSU gitorious and that the patch has been included
10:25.38freemangordonJaffa: while i agree it is good, it works a little bit different according to what was agreed in CSSU. https://garage.maemo.org/pm/task.php?func=detailtask&project_task_id=1982&group_id=2300&group_project_id=3864
10:26.32freemangordonhave in mind there is no even internal build (besides thumb, but it's not official)
10:38.10*** join/#maemo-ssu lizardo (lizardo@nat/indt/x-dyjbsninchqqxvmo)
10:38.15Jaffafreemangordon: It was agreed that there'd not even be a *comment* on the bug report? Citation needed, because - frankly - that's bonkers.
10:38.35Jaffafreemangordon: If a bug looks like it's not moved, someone else might try and pick it up and end up duplicating work.
10:45.18freemangordonJaffa: well, it is hard to believe someone outside CSSU will start to fix bugs against CSSU. You probably missed it, but it was agreed that internal activities will be tracked through garage project.
10:45.43freemangordonthat was some 5-6 months ago, so no citation :)
10:46.45Jaffafreemangordon: Except how does someone outside CSSU get inside? They want to scratch an itch. Obviously doing so without coming to IRC would be crazy, and I'm not trying to make too big a deal of this specific example.
10:46.46freemangordonso far the comments on the bugtracker for closed bug has been written after a relese in -testing
10:47.35freemangordonJaffa: yes, exactly, they come to IRC (luf and zeq are very good examples)
10:47.57Jaffafreemangordon: If there's an "internal" task on Garage (although, given the apathy towards GForge in general, I'm a little surprised at going to it voluntarily ;-)) which is related to a bug, there should be a comment on the Bugzilla entry linking to the Garage item (and vice versa)
10:47.59freemangordon(though zeq is still not "officialy" in CSSU team)
10:48.17Jaffafreemangordon: It's not just about new joiners; it's also about visibility, tracking etc.
10:48.25freemangordonon garage there is ;)
10:48.39freemangordonalong with the commit
10:48.39Jaffafreemangordon: Indeed, so it's the reciprocal link which is missing
10:49.03freemangordonyes, but so far there is no such practice afaik
10:49.25Jaffafreemangordon: _Statuses_ should change as things are released; but not commenting on the "public facing" issue tracker until the code drops is a bad practice that closed shops like Nokia did. It's not best OSS practice.
10:50.12Jaffafreemangordon: Understood. I'm saying I think there should be, it's practically zero effort and avoids any confusion (e.g. andre__'s efforts to identify upstream security bugs or fixes actually is going somewhere)
10:51.23freemangordonJaffa, understood, it is just that there was no bug triage session since the commit. Usually it is merlin1991 who comments on the bugs when there is some progress
10:51.49freemangordonyou know, holiday time, etc
10:53.12freemangordonUsusally I am trying to keep away from commenting on public places, soft skills issues :)
10:54.01freemangordonis afk for a while
11:28.18Jaffafreemangordon: Heh, understood.
11:28.43Jaffafreemangordon: I'm sure you won't offend if you just paste a URL ;-) Not even the most impolite person I know could fsck that up
11:30.32DocScrutinizer05hehe
11:32.58DocScrutinizer05hi Jaffa btw
11:34.50DocScrutinizer05I'd love to hear your take on cssu kernel and rules aboutr QA to apply to the patches we want to include. I'm afraid my take on that isn't common sense, and I'm not arrogant enough to think my ideas should prevail
11:36.21freemangordonJaffa: will try to do it next time ;)
11:37.17*** join/#maemo-ssu _rd (~rd@p57B497C8.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
11:38.15DocScrutinizer05Jaffa: so far I suggested a "triage" of all the patches in PK, regarding a few criteria like "is it a module without impact to 'core' that can get blacklisted?" or "is it a commonly accepted upstream patch that scratches a severe itch and nobody can see why it would work differently on embedded/N900?"
11:43.01merlin1991andre__: we're not that bad, about 50% of your reported bugs are "FIXED" now :)
11:43.39andre__true. thanks  :)
11:49.47DocScrutinizer05Jaffa: alas nobody but me seems to consider proper review of all the patches a mandatory precondition, rather the degree of "nice to have" changes depending on whom you ask
11:51.50DocScrutinizer05Jaffa: ...while I don't feel comfortable with a cssu kernel (on my device) that may come with unknown number of severe potentially hw-frying bugs sneaking in with patches, of the grade of bq27200/I2C-locking-nuked desaster
11:53.31DocScrutinizer05Jaffa: so please guide me on what I shall think and try to support
12:11.18JaffaDocScrutinizer05: Can I finish my cuppa first? ;-)

12:53.39andre__current vte version allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service.
12:53.58andre__is that something worth to fix? that covers ssh, right?
12:58.44freemangordonandre__: does it make sense on a mobile device?
12:59.25andre__that's what I wonder, as a simple person that doesn't really use ssh or stuff :)
12:59.58andre__so somebody please tell me if I should file a ticket for you or not :P
13:00.12freemangordonBTW ssh is in extras, not CSSU material aiui
13:00.24DocScrutinizer05andre__: denial of service or privilege escalation?
13:00.28freemangordonopenssh even
13:00.34andre__http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-2738
13:00.40DocScrutinizer05DOS is "harmless"
13:00.43andre__you can probably judge it way better than I can
13:00.48andre__I'm not very low-level
13:01.04andre__I just want a "file it" or "don't: :)
13:01.11DocScrutinizer05file it please
13:01.15andre__ok :)
13:01.18DocScrutinizer05we can triage later
13:03.01DocScrutinizer05you know, on maemo there's a zillion ways for remote authenticated users to cause DOS
13:09.47DocScrutinizer05ohwell, severity low
13:10.23DocScrutinizer05it's obviously a DOS only, available to authenticated users of vte
13:10.48DocScrutinizer05nice lil bug somebody can fix if bored

13:12.27andre__pango uses the freetype backend, right?
13:13.21DocScrutinizer05sorry, no clue
13:15.04andre__WTF? http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/pango/trees/master - "source tree" just includes a tarball package and a patches subdir? sigh
13:15.21DocScrutinizer05anyway, regarding CVE-2012-2738, we got a patch to vte already afaik (NK-enter fix), so adding a patch for this one doesn't hurt much

13:46.00merlin1991one day I'll get mad enough at it untar the tarball and rewrite debian/rules
