[amber] - our infrastructure created a new problem every day and a lot of time was spent on getting it up again ;( [green] - discussions around changing factory to sync more often and with less updates. Decided to try some fancy flags - this eats up more of my time, but it may help others. So I keep an eye on how much time it really is and how much the situation improves. - tried to collect facts about checkin process - the usual pre-milestone submissions and reviews - some experiments with build service monitor (mainly after hours though) [this week] - Next 11.4 milestone -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Week reports 2010#36-38
by Vincent Untz 25 Sep '10

25 Sep '10

Hi, I apparently forgot to send reports for previous weeks, apologies. What I did during week 36: - openSUSE 11.4: - cleanup default install of GNOME (broken menu, split packages like gnome-search-tool) - fix important bugs in M1 (panel not visible, main menu missing, etc.) - lots of packaging update with pkgconfig() fun to add some GNOME 3 libraries to update gnome-shell - investigate a replacement for gnomesu, mostly focusing on gksu-polkit and pkexec. This is for https://features.opensuse.org/305640. I need feedback from the security team to know what's the best way forward, though. - openSUSE: - openSUSE conference meeting - wrote a pdiff plugin for osc: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2010-09/msg00087.html - upstream: - figured out who goes to the preparation meeting for the Desktop Summit at the end of the month. Happy it's not me - released new version of desktop-file-utils What I did during week 37: - openSUSE 11.4: - updated GNOME to 2.31.92 - openSUSE: - review GNOME legal & security bugs - wrote a changetobranch plugin for osc. Need to send a mail about it, but it's a convenience plugin for when a package is added to Factory, and you need to create a real branch for it. - interview with Henne about openSUSE Conference: http://news.opensuse.org/2010/09/15/osc2010-sneak-peaks-vincent-untz-explai… - GNOME team meeting - review openSUSE board rules, with AJ - openFATE: - started digging in the code again, but quickly stopped because of item below - upstream: - had a nightmare week there: GNOME 2.31.92 more or less destroyed the second half of the week, with many, many build issues. But I finally got it done on Saturday night... - misc: - went to Paris, and discussed a lot with people there, especially with Frédéric Crozat. - went to the doctor for a work visit, and I can work! - got invited to talk about GNOME (and openSUSE!) at the Ubuntu 10.10 Party in Toulouse - pinged people for the desktop track at the linux plumbers conf What I did during week 38: - openSUSE 11.4: - updated many packages - dealt with the 2.31.92 issues that I had left over the week before - fixed a few issues in GNOME to get a polished experience - pushed tons of packages for milestone 2 - openSUSE: - blogged about the openSUSE conference, and talked to various people about it - mail the GNOME team about new packages that got in, and what we can do next - learn more about patterns, to hopefully improve the GNOME ones later - upstream: - wrote a new draft for the GNOME moduleset reorganization. Difficult topic. - GNOME release team meeting - misc: - prepared my trips in October/November Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Junior Job sprint
by Michael Loeffler 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Moin, I just checked in retro the sprint for Junior Jobs and like to know what the current status is. The Junior Jobs are imo very important to give a simple point of entry for anyone wanting to contribute. Imo Junior Jobs should cover: - bugs which are simple to solve - packages for which newer versions are available - packages/applications to be tested - features to work on - docu to be updated or newly written - maintenance And all of that of course should have some documentation so people can learn themselves how to do a task. For the docu part mostly the correct links are needed on the How to participate page [1] I'm poking you as we have the request of Novell India that they will have in a few months many IT students doing the NCLP and are requested by their universities to do some more work on Linux afterwards and openSUSE may take advantage out of this and offer them simple work to start with. And with some luck some of the student stay longer with us. If needed we may have an IRC meeting or as pretty many of you guys are in Nürnberg we meet face to face.

work report #37
by Lubos Lunak 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

- I've decided to join the OOo team. They had been trying to get me for quite some time and I've eventually concluded that it fits better my skill set than this team and I hope I free up a slot for somebody who'll do better work here than me. I will still try to help the openSUSE KDE team as time and motivation permit, but quite frankly it's been a bumpy ride since the KDE4.0 times for many reasons and I could use doing some pure C++ hacking for some time. - Worked on preparing for my openSUSE conference talks, most importantly the obs generator. - I've run by chance into http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker , a tool that can check ABI stability between two versions of libraries. According to http://linuxtesting.org/upstream-tracker/ many libraries that claim ABI stability actually screw up from time to time, probably because nobody actually bothers to repeatedly check. Since the build service is such a nice tool that can automate or ease tasks, I tested the tool a bit and I have a setup in home:llunak:abi:kde that can be used quite easily to check packages before each new release. I think upstreams might be interested in this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Meego sprint?
by Vincent Untz 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi, I don't know when people started talking about getting Moblin, and then Meego in openSUSE, but it still hasn't happened. Andrew is working on this, but some people need to help him. Else, I'm afraid we'll release 11.4 in the same state. Would it make sense to have one sprint on Meego? Do we have hardware that we could use for that?
