07:26.53ilewjonwil: ping
07:27.06jonwilhi
07:27.51ilewHey, I read that you need someone to talk to re CSSU-Testing?
07:28.12jonwilYeah I want to know what we need to do to get more packages into CSSU-testing
07:28.20jonwilThose that have been tested enough to be considered "safe"
07:28.29jonwiland/or that have good reasons to go into CSSU-testing
07:29.43ilewDo you know about the testing-testing repo? It's the packages that have been in cssu-devel and then picked to be used for the release..
07:31.10jonwilNope, dont know that
07:32.42ilewIt's about 99% ready. The only thing missing is the latest mp-fremantle-community-pr and then it's good to go for an actual CSSU-testing release. Unfortuately I don't have any permission to actually do the release.
07:36.08jonwilGot a link to testing-testing so I can see whats in it that's not in testing?
07:41.23jonwililwe?
07:41.26jonwililew?
07:45.05ilewSorry for the slow response. I had to handtype and checked that it worked.
07:46.12ilewEverything in mp-fremantle-community-pr is what is in there though.
10:53.08DocScrutinizer05seems we need to start another "shanghaiing session" to help merlin1991 out with managing the repos, eh?
10:54.44DocScrutinizer05the approach so far was that the repo maintainer gathers feedback on packages in here, evaluates those and decides if they are sufficient for qualifying a package as "ready for going prime time"
10:55.50DocScrutinizer05then same based on cssu-testing getting deployed, for cssu-stable
10:56.21DocScrutinizer05where stable would never adopt packages that are not fixing bugs
10:57.02DocScrutinizer05while in testing there sneaks in a mere improvement package every now and then
10:57.18DocScrutinizer05see e.g. camera-ui
10:58.25DocScrutinizer05the "problem" is we need a maintainer who understands and follows that scheme
11:00.51DocScrutinizer05beta-tests pre cssu-testing are frequently based on deploying .deb. Occasionally a developer may want to test packaging in cssu-devel after the core application considered working and betatested
11:01.29DocScrutinizer05.deb are frequently deployed via tmo
11:02.03DocScrutinizer05resp via arbitrary web hosts linked to in tmo
11:04.00DocScrutinizer05((gathers feedback on packages in here, evaluates those)) often involves a lot of prodding
11:05.42DocScrutinizer05evaluation could also happen in a "meeting" based on meritocracy, which is basically just an enforced feedback gathering. Final decision if feedback suffices is up to the repo maintainer
11:06.20DocScrutinizer05and should be conservative
11:07.47DocScrutinizer05a basic rule being: a package devel has no voice in evaluation
11:09.34DocScrutinizer05(...of their own package, that is)
11:12.09DocScrutinizer05basically packages - during evaluation - should get approved for release only when unanimously voted for by the ones who participated in evaluating the package

16:24.55freemangordonPali: jonwil: lets discuss ke-recv issue here
16:25.13freemangordonfptf-provate is not logged, for start
16:25.16freemangordon*private
16:26.01Pali~seen ilew
16:26.03infobotilew <~ilew@203.219.228.227> was last seen on IRC in channel #maemo-ssu, 8h 39m 51s ago, saying: 'Everything in mp-fremantle-community-pr is what is in there though.'.
16:26.22freemangordondo we have anyone else but ilew that was able to reproduce the issue?
16:26.25Paliilew had a problem with ke-recv from cssu-devel
16:26.37freemangordonyeah, i know the story, at least partially
16:26.45PaliI was not able and do not know if somebody else tried that...
16:26.53freemangordonwouldn;t git-bisect do the job?
16:27.05Paliyes, once you are able to reproduce it
16:27.14freemangordonbut if ilew is able...
16:27.41Palijust build different versions of DEB packages
16:27.44Paliand try one by one
16:28.01Palithere are not too many versions, so binary search does not speed it up
16:28.47freemangordonPali: my devel device is highly customized (to boot maemo with upstream and whatnot), so I am not sure I'll be of help here
16:29.26freemangordonwe should really ask Ilew do do that, instead of wasting time to see if we are able to reproduce on first place
16:30.16freemangordonagree?
16:31.01freemangordonin the meanwhile - even if we are able to fix the issue, who is going to release that new CSSU?
16:31.52freemangordonI doubt merlin1991 will do, given he was converted
16:31.57freemangordon:p
16:32.10jonwililew is working on a cssu-testing-testing actually
16:32.34freemangordonok, and once it is ok, what?
16:33.00jonwilNot sure.
16:34.18freemangordonyes, exactly. I think there is no point fixing things that are going to be never released
16:38.23jonwilthat's up to ilew to figure out
16:41.14jonwilwill ke-recv still exist on the N900 under maemo-leste or does its job get taken over by something from upstream?
16:41.37freemangordonke-recv is there
16:41.52freemangordonbut we're far from it being actually useful
16:42.03jonwilOk.
16:42.07freemangordonhmm, lemme check
16:42.37freemangordonjonwil: no, it is not there
16:43.00freemangordonshould put it on todo list
16:43.27freemangordonhowever, it will be a big task, we should get rid of HAL
16:44.07jonwilI assume on N900 maemo-leste uses the bme replacement from pali and not the Nokia blob?
16:45.01freemangordonno bme or replacement
16:45.13freemangordonthere is a new mce module based on upower
16:45.22freemangordonbut we're still to test it
16:46.11freemangordonno reason to use bme, n900 upstream kernel has standard battery/charger interfaces
16:46.19jonwilOk.

16:55.47jonwilThere are a few userspace packages that talk to BME via libbmeipc and hald-addon-bme (no clue if any are closed source).
16:56.00jonwilSome massaging will need to be done to make those work 100% I  guess
