Hello, Original-Nachricht Datum: Sun, 13 May 2012 16:54:19 - Von: Thomas Ward tew...@trekweb.org An: steffen_moel...@gmx.de Betreff: [Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 computation error bug I confirmed with MOTUs and the archives that the version from Debian is imported already. You can just install it in Quantal. The Bad patch is in the package, No, it is not. so the package'll need ubuntu-only changes, This should not be required. And whenever there happen to be additional requirements for Ubuntu, please forward them to our shared git archive so they go through Debian. I'll work with the MOTUs on that, but I'll need a summary of why that patch is bad (i dont have the time to search through 144 comments :P) :o) I consider the issue closed. Something we should now address together is the backporting to releases older than Precise with the notify 0.5 library (now at 0.7) . I will contact Daniel and Locutus about it.

The MOTU SRU team isn't going to support an SRU in this case (because of a version change, according to the MOTUs I spoke to yesterday). They are more likely to be willing to support a sync to Quantal for the Debian version of the package, and then a backport of that to Precise (the repository that will contain the updated BOINC is therefore precise-backports).

Re: [Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 computation error bug
Well, I can't really comment on thatbecause I haven't been able to get 12.04 Release to install on such a system. The desktop installer panics right away, the alternate installer panics on first boot after its done. Its supposed to be my Windows desktop, but I had envisioned virtualizing itsince it died mid-February after automatically installing a bunch of patches from Microsoft, and I had been waiting for 12.04 release to make this attempt. Probably going to go non-Linux, since I want a machine at home now to learn/play with the environment that we're doing virtualization at work with. I did try to push out a 12.04LTS server at work, but got called out when $boss found out someday it might happenbut it'll have to wait until a bigger customer asks for it. The other OS, came about because we support a .gov that has an aging Solaris box...which they like, but had outgrown and its dyingbut they didn't want to spend money on a new Sunoracle server. Plus they've gotten to like containers, and wanted to do more than just that. $boss mentioned he had read about $X that might be something for them to try. Now a couple years later (and 3 less FTEs, including the one that dealt with them and could go on site [even though I lived across the street from them] )that customer has shown up with a new whitebox, and they want us to make it happen.

Re: [Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 computation error bug
Between you and I, I agree 7.0.27 should be in Precise. But the process for updating stable versions is complex, in that unless the fixes also exist in the latest development version, they will rarely push the stable release update. I ran into this with six other packages, so I speak from experience on this: when SRUing they prefer the fixes and the version that has fixes to be released in current dev release (Quantal) prior to the SRU. As a result, 7.0.27 needs to be able to build in Quantal first (which it currently does not).

The issue on Quantal is that 7.0.27 has an issue of FTBFS (Fails to build from Source). It may be prudent to talk to the MOTUs and see whether they'd support a sync to Quantal with the FTBFS included, and then backport from Quantal to Precise where it does build. This would require additional discussion with the MOTUs (in my opinion), either by someone here, or by myself, but if they're supportive of the idea of syncing with Quantal with the FTBFS issue for the sake of backporting to Precise (Note someone'd need to test build/run this), then unless any of you files the sync request, I'll file it. -- Also, if the FTBFS issue on Quantal has anything to do with Debian Bug #671999, then that will be available for sync sometime next week. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #671999 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=671999 That is a friendly non-maintainer upload fixing the missing #include unistd.h everywhere that gcc 4.7 requests. Sadly, the patch that should be out is still in. The version I just asked Thorsten to be uploaded closes that bug and also this one (lp: 99179). To me, the way through Quantal is just fine. Debian does the same with backports.debian.org. What goes in there as a new package is also in unstable.

Hello, Have many thanks for all your energies going into it. The patches are listed in http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-boinc/boinc.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/series and of those my personal hunch is the have a second look at the app_ipc_uninitialised.patch, where I had improved (so I thought) initialisations of variables. Had you tried that one, yet? I have changed the order of lines in the init file ... not thinking that this makes much of difference .. but I may be wrong. If you have located the issue - fine. If not I suggest to leave it.

I'm not seeing the bug with this one either. :-) I'll be waiting for your next test. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 computation error bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 computation error bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Don't really know what that means for you guys, but maybe it's good news? The bug is fixed by undoing some presumed improvements of mine. This needs some further investigation, but even if we fix it, all scientific apps would need an update, so ... Maybe we should just fine those aliens quickly and have them fix it all for us...or eradicate man kind.

Re: [Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 computation error bug
Hello, I can confirm this problem. I have only a hunch what may be wrong, most likely the boinc-client now produces lines in its communication with the scientific app that are complete - but too long. But I have to prove that, still. The problem occurred while I was excluding potential issues with the Einstein@Home scientific app, which had eventually been identified and fixed in upstream code of 7.0.26. Einstein@Home is not affected by this issue, please consider running that or Rosetta@Home until the update is in the archive. I had compiled the SETI App locally but that still shows that bug, so I am a bit puzzled. Go ahead with your patch-free version. For Debian I aim at 7.0.27 to have that addressed, which has seen a major update of our patches in the upstream codebase. ... should come out any time soon, now.

With this version you shouldn't notice this bug, I'll release new version after you tell me if you see the bug or not until we figure out which of them causes the problem.

Will do, happily! It's just gonna take about 12 hours til some AP units finish up, I don't wanna risk ruining them. I'll report back. @Steffen, I believe 7.0.27 was released in the last couple days. :-) Yesterday night, I think? Thanks for the efforts guys! We all appreciate it. I can't wait to test the new ppa tonight Locutus. I just uploaded something that runs SETI for me to the archive. It is in the git repo and on http://master.dermacloud.uni- luebeck.de/~moeller/oliver I'll keep fiddling with it to locate the culprit.
