We might need to find a way to avoid rebuilding just because *one* language changed. Mostly because this happens really often..we don't really have control about the translator's schedule and they happen to commit things more or less randomly (with peaks when something is changed in a string, or when strings are added: some like to be 100% all time long..:-)). But this will change only when we upload the package to the archive so we can try to upload a set of packages with translation updates to avoid this. Basically the binNMU would be triggered when the translation status change for a language and since we work with percentage this will not change on every translation update. As I'm watching all this very regularly, we could maybe imagine something where the i18n coordinator can trigger an l10n-rebuild because (s)he notices that a given language changed significantly enough to be worth itor because it has been too much time since the last rebuild and many very small changes piled up. Or maybe if there's no initrd changes queue it to the end of week if nothing else changes? -- Otavio Salvador O.S.

Changes to Debian Installer release process
I used some of Debcamp and Debconf time this year to discuss the Debian Installer release process with some people and after talking with many people it seems we agreed on the following changes on Debian Installer release process and it would be interesting to receive feedback on those to see if anyone see a problem we didn't notice yet. * Official uploads to be built against unstable Currently when we do a source upload of debian-installer it gather all build-depends on /unstable/ but the udebs from /testing/. We want to get it change and all udebs be fetched from unstable so we will migrate it all to testing when ready and not before building as done currently. This is going to make easier to Debian Installer and Debian Release teams to coordinate the migration of packages to testing. Philipp will send a mail regarding this with more details later. * Linux kernel udebs to be built from linux source package We won't get rid of kernel-wedge instead linux source package will use it during the build process to produce all the kernel udebs from it. Ben will send a mail about this later with a more detailed description. * Debian Installer daily builds to be done from source uploads The daily builds will use the archive source for building so every time we do a change in unstable in a module that is included in initrd it will trigger a binNMU in all architectures replicating what we have in daily builds. When source changes in debian-installer source package are done, a new source upload will be required. * Debian Installer experimental builds With Linux kernel udebs built from linux source we have the possibility to get the installer built against the development kernel that will be available on experimental and this is quite important to us to be able to test all this before it is available in unstable to avoid bad surprises for us and users. This will also be a handy tool for us to play with not well tested or finished stuff without breaking installer to end users. For now, I think we will need to use an infra-structure similar of what we have today for daily builds for those. * Use of britney to handle package and installer migration This is the end of the process and some details are yet unknown how this is going to happen however but our goal is to make it happen since it will alleviate a lot the amount of work to make Debian Installer release to happen. It is important to notice that it is not a single-man effort but a coordinate and shared effort of Debian Kernel, Debian Release and Debian Installer teams to get all this done. Those changes are not going to happen at once but in a progressive process and at the end this is going to make the installer release process easier to understand and handle. Please share your ideas regarding those proposed changes so we can start looking on the required changes to accomplish all this.

Re: [stable] Adding bnx2x driver in 5.0.3
Hello dann, On Sun, Jul 26, 2009 at 4:04 PM, dann frazierda...@debian.org wrote: The bnx2x driver was disabled in lenny due to its use of non-free firmware. I have put together a patch that would reenable this driver in lenny's 2.6.26 kernel, making use of the firmware split-out patch that has gone upstream in Linux 2.6.31-rc releases (and is currently in use in the linux-2.6 2.6.30 packages in sid). Really good news :-) I'd like to see if we can enable the use of this driver in 5.0.3. As far as I can tell, the necessary steps would be: - Update the kernel (obviously) - planned for a p-u upload this week - Backport the necessary changes for firmware-nonfree from sid to add the firmware-bnx2x package - Update kernel-wedge/stable to include bnx2x if available (are there space issues here?) The space usage is neglitable and I think it can be done with a very small risk of regressions. Be sure to use the kernel-wedge of lenny for building it since we've changed kernel-wedge a lot during the 2.6.30 migration and it is not suitable for the lenny usage. - Update d-i in 5.0.3 to incorporate this driver Yes, you got the picture right.

I personally think there's a serious error in the i386 network install image (being kernel-486 based). If so, I consider that bad for Debian's reputation, and that would be bad for the reputation of open source software, which is not what we want. Sorry but you're wrong about kernel being 486 based be a mistake. This allow Debian to be installer in more machines and this is exactly what we intend.

I didn't include it since I'm unsure if we should use it or not - isofs droped (mips) - pata modules droped (armel) I've opt to use atl2-modules instead of nic-lme-modules as suggested on the atl2 bug report to follow same schema we have been doing for external modules.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the case that d-i quickly comes out once a kernel is in *testing* so the problem with d-i dragging is really that the kernel team doesn't support testing only unstable (from the sounds of it). I mean in another email max says that testing is on an unsupported kernel. WTF. .24 isn't that old and I'm not sure if .25 is even in testing yet (when I last checked it wasn't). For d-i matters if the kernel is ready (or almost ready) to migrate to testing since it's very problematic for us to break user installation using daily images during the Debian kernel stabilization effort that, today, is done in unstable. Testing kernel, nowadays, is indeed unsupported since to update it is much harder and risk since the kernel doesn't have a period of time on unstable (it needs to go throught testing-proposed-updates) before hitting testing. What we're proposing is a change on that. Leaving those first uploads some time on experimental and then moving to unstable when major problems were solve (as is done in many other teams as Xorg, KDE, GNOME, ...) and then reducing the time required for the kernel to migrate from unstable to testing. Doing that, it would allow us to move d-i much fastly to the unstable kernel since we'd be in a much safe bed. -- O T A V I OS A L V A D O R - E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 5906116 GNU/Linux User: 239058 GPG ID: 49A5F855 Home Page: http://otavio.ossystems.com.br - Microsoft sells you Windows ...

Eh, how does that follow my last para which I assume you are commenting on, but which has nothing to do with testing? A side-note to your comment though... IMO testing kernel support is the weakest point in the current upload strategy by the kernel team. By uploading the next upstream release to unstable basically as soon as it's available upstream, Debian users (both unstable and testing) are frequently missing out on at least one or two upstream stable updates for the previous stable (stable -1) release. agreed on the week point, but not to your conclusions. it often happens that d-i is blocking on older release. like the beta that happened to want to stick to 2.6.22 which was a pure catastrophe, half a year too old, without support for e1000e and newer intel boards.. This was mostly caused due the risk of the kernel to not be ready on time. We do need to have a better process to avoid those two problems to happen from now on. ... My personal opinion is that it would be better to delay the upload of new upstream releases to unstable until the .2 or maybe even .3 upstream stable update has become available. This would mean a bit more work for the kernel team, but I would expect that to be solvable. don't see any point on that. it wouldn't accelerate the meta package sort. But it would accelerate the d-i migration since we could mostly of time do the switch at same time of kernel going sid. That would also give more time for initial arch-specific and l-m-e issues for the new upstream to be worked out (e.g. in experimental) without breaking unstable too much. IMO a new kernel version should only be uploaded to unstable if kernel meta packages can be updated at roughly the same time. this is a currently a week point, but unstable is the place to sort such. No. experimental is the place for that. It would also allow to upload a few more stable updates for stable -1 and to migrate those to testing, giving testing users on average better support and it would give D-I some more breathing space to do releases. When a new stable *is* uploaded, D-I should be able to switch faster too (at least, if there's someone willing to do the initial kernel-wedge work) as the main criterium for D-I to switch to a new kernel version is: does the new version look about to be ready to migrate to testing, which current early uploads of the kernel to unstable effectively never are. sarcastic mode on never seen that, d-i has always been dragging. sarcastic mode off would wish that kmuto be an official d-i member. he even tracks rc snapshot releases when necessary. It is different case when we are working with a full set of architectures and planning to not hurt users. You need to agree that if one derivative breaks, it hurts much less people then if oficial d-i breaks. A much more important argument is that .25 has seen and will almost certainly continue to get a lot more stabilization effort upstream than is normal for upstream kernel releases because long term releases for at least two important other distros are based on it. I doubt .26 will get the same upstream attention. Given the lack of capacity in Debian to do any real stabilization (cherry picking/backporting of fixes from later releases) ourselves, that could IMO be an important consideration for staying with .25 for Lenny. that doesn't matter a lot, if you look into our 2.6.18 or the RH patch biest you'll notice the RH men force boot behind their backporting machine. I'm having serious trouble parsing what you're trying to say here. Could you rephrase? you never checked the rh kernel. they do a *lot* of backporting and have a big team working on that. so you'll notice that none of those patches landed in ours. so your argument sounds nice, but doesn't help in practise. .26 got a *lot* upstream attention and solves a number of .25 regressions. it is wanted for read-only bind mounts, kernel debugger, kvm + xen + wireless improvements, allmost net namespaces and uvc cam support. And how about the other and correlated changes that would be need like toolchain and base?

[RFC] Debian Installer Lenny Beta2 - Pending stuff and timeline
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I know we're a bit late about Beta2 and that it was suppose to have been released just after Beta1. Unfortunately, my daily work prevented me from giving the needed time and love that is required for the installer release. I finally finished a bunch of things that were waiting for me and can now work again on that. After thinking a lot and talking to many people, I think we ought to go with 2.6.24 kernel for the release. Basically that decision has been done with following data in mind: - current 2.6.25 status . currently too young to know about stability . still not ready for d-i usage (lacks l-m-e) . still not sid default - Etch and Half kernel . 2.6.24 . would be nicer to use same for installer - Time required to release with 2.6.25 . probably 5 to 6 weeks from now - Time required to release with 2.6.24 . 3 weeks from now Let's now summarise what is need to be done for us to get there: Pending stuff - - . New syslinux menu I've talked to Joey and it'll be done at beggining of the week. Debian-CD change has already be pushed and d-i related changes will follow it. That'll require testing and we'll be able to use dailies for that. . Update 2.6.24 with missing stable updates It would be interesting to have 2.6.24 stable changes in installer and Etch+0.5 kernels and it would need to be done _now_. This obviously requires approval from Stable Release Management Team and Release Management Team since we'd need to use testing-proposed-updates to get the updated kernel in Lenny. . Cairo frontend issues We've identified the problematic change inside of cairo code and we're still waiting for the commiter to check it. If it takes too long, we'll just revert all changes from directfb cairo module to get it back to a know good state and keep going. Wanted stuff - . partman-crypto problems with random keys (#478598) and it would be nice to have it solved in time for Beta2 however it's not a blocking issue. . parted update is likely to happen before Lenny is release however we're still working at s390 fixing to get it done. . xorg update (in Lenny) is possible to happen during the release and we could re-add the reverted tasksel change that removes discover and like. We'd need to test it carefully to avoid problems for users. Timeline - The proposed timeline follows. Date What happens May 7, 2008 mass upload of translation updates May 11, 2008 mass migration of udebs May 13, 2008 debian-installer is uploaded May 17, 2008 daily images are changed to use lenny installer May 19, 2008 test of images starts May 25, 2008 final image builds May 27, 2008 planned release date Cheers, - -- O T A V I OS A L V A D O R - - E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 5906116 GNU/Linux User: 239058 GPG ID: 49A5F855 Home Page: http://otavio.ossystems.com.br - - Microsoft sells you Windows ...

Debian Installer Lenny Beta1: Status Update 2

Two modules that are critical for this release aren't yet built for all architectures (cdebconf and debian-installer-utils). There are other modules that aren't yet built but those aren't so critical for the release. I expect that tomorrow we have them all built, we will see. Other pending migration, that is a real blocker for the release, is apt 0.7.11 that fixes the famous GRUB installation failure. This is also blocked due missing architectures and I hope we get it on lenny by tomorrow too. I'm doing my best to avoid further delays, let's see how fast all those go and I'll try to be as fast as possible to handle next steps. As soon as a next step is done, I'll send another status update.

I know that there're alternatives however it's not the best option. So your idea is to this list be placed inside each source package? It's the only solution which will not kill new versions without code to ignore udebs if the definitions are broken. Didn get you here. Could you elaborate it a bit? The list contains module X. This module got removed. What should happen with the build? - Fail silent. Ignore the error and don't output any udebs. - Fail loud. The first variant needs to be used if the list is included from an external source if it should not break it complete. I won't implement it because the build output is not longer reproducible. I think it should fail loudly. Yeah, after thinking more about it I figured that if we choose to go for udebs being build by kernel source packages, we does need to have it in the kernel package source. This would allow us to keep control about what would be end in d-i kernel modules packages. We have to process it anyway and will be able to change it in any way we want. This is called trust. While I agree that it's suppose to work, I also think that it can bring serious discussions like we had lately (because of 2.6.24 migration to testing). If we were already using this schema, the Beta1 release would need to delay since we do not have 2.6.22 on sid anymore. For me, to think more about it, we need an agreement from kernel team that d-i can veto uploads of kernel. Obviously d-i team won't deny any upload with real reasons however this agreement this is a must from my POV. Let me express my conclusion up to now for this thread (even I still want to see a comment from Colin, Joey and Frans on this): - if we choose to go with kernel sources building udebs, k-w is dead; - kernel team needs to accept nacks from d-i team for badly time uploads (this is a must); - time needed for migration to new kernel would be reduced a lot; - tests would be need, for d-i, from snapshots of kernel; Cheers, - -- O T A V I OS A L V A D O R - - E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 5906116 GNU/Linux User: 239058 GPG ID: 49A5F855 Home Page: http://otavio.ossystems.com.br - - Microsoft sells you Windows ...

Nobody will insist on uploading a new kernel version if this breaks the release schedule, just think of 2.6.19, which never was uploaded to the archive because we where in the middle of releasing etch.

I'm not wondering about security uploads but about ABI changes and major kernel version updates. Those would need to be coordinated on debian-boot too. I guess that a notice about upload, few days before, to debian-boot ml should be enough, for ABI changes. For major versions, we'd need much larger coordination since it would affect whole d-i.

There're 51 packages (right now) that falls into this category. You can check the full list using the script available in our svn repository at scripts/l10n/list-unreleased-l10n-only. All team help on this is important since it's a huge list of packages. Today I've also uploaded tasksel reverting the xorg related change otherwise we wouldn't be able to use the lastest tasksel version of tasks for Beta1. This should go to testing in a cuple of days. Another thing that we all need to get done is the release announce text. A draft has been written and team people is welcome to send improvements for it. Several XXX items remain open to be fixed there and I'm sure people can help to get it done. Bellow goes the current general status update. New stuff = * All architectures have moved to 2.6.22; Solved issues = * Progress bar will not restart from zero several times during the phase where the base system is installed. General issues == * Time out on NTP server connection is too long (#448871]) * option to use relatime does not work because busybox' mount command does not support it (#460824]) Kernel status = * linux-modules-di-m68k-2.6 isn't uploaded due the lack of loop-aes and squashfs since linux-headers lack modules.lds files (#402061). Blockers for Beta1 release == * loop-aes is missing in testing (debs, not udebs) Blockers for final release == * linux-libc-dev has type declaration conflict (#434040, #435700) (ignored for beta1 since a workaround is used) * m68k has floppy flavors disabled due a full-disk.

Beta1 missing decisions and possible timeline
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 [ Reply-To adjusted to debian-boot so we can keep this discussion in a single mailing list ] Hello folks, I've been working at migrations of packages for lenny and I think we're more or less fine to define a timeline to the end of Febuary for the release of Beta1. This is going to be my first release as d-i RM and so I'm a bit nervous and doing small mistakes (as everybody has probably noticed already). There're few open questions that I'd like to discuss here before we make it: - kernel to release We have 2.6.22 as a safe bed on lenny now and their udebs are there too however since EtchAndHalf intends to release with 2.6.24 and it has been uploaded to sid already I'm considering a better option to us to release with it. linux-2.6 has been built in all architectures and linux-modules-extra-2.6 has been fastly processed (thanks ftpmasters) and then we could manage to get a massbuild done in few days (+- 5 of febuary or even before). I've started to check the new modules and prepare the patches for kernel-wedge for it and hope to get it ready for tomorrow or so. - e2fsprogs inode size change Lastest release[1] changed the default inode size to 256 bytes. This is not yet on lenny but is already available on sid and will hit lenny in few days. 1. http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html#1.40.5 Currently, there's a know problem with GRUB[2] and the safest solution is to change the current inode size back to 128 bytes using -I option of mke2fs for Beta1 release and then work on GRUB or GRUB2 to support it for lenny Beta2 release with 256 bytes again. 2. http://bugs.debian.org/463236 Please, I'd like to ask for comments on above points so we can decide about the timeline. The current timeline that looks sane is: +-+---+ |Date |What happens | +-+---+ |2/1/2007 |translation update request is send | +-+---+ |2/15/2007|mass upload of translation updates | +-+---+ |2/15/2007|kernel, modules and their udebs hitted testing | +-+---+ |2/16/2007|mass migration of udebs| +-+---+ |2/17/2007|debian-installer is uploaded | +-+---+ |2/19/2007|daily images are changed to use lenny installer| +-+---+ |2/21/2007|test of images starts | +-+---+ |2/27/2007|final image builds | +-+---+ |3/1/2007 |planned release date | +-+---+ Obviously, to be able to get there, we all need to work together. This means that d-i team, kernel team, release team, and package maintainers of packages that builds udebs will need to work closely those days and cooperate each other. One thing that could delay whole release is the migration of xorg package to testing. It needs to go otherwise we won't have desktop installation properly working on Beta1 since we don't use discover1 and xresprobe for detection anymore. I'm sure we all can do that and I'll do my best to work closely of you all too.

Bug#440720: [SPARC]: non-SMP kernel fail on SunFIres with = 2 CPUs
Bernd Zeimetz [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, Looks like we need to discuss the available options for this problem. Other issue is to know if current snapshots of 2.6.23 does work or not on this hardware. Bernd, can you test lastest 2.6.23 snapshot and see if it works? Check at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel for more information where to find them. I've installed the machine using a 2.6.23-rc5 _smp_ kernel, all older non-smp kernels failed to boot, and as Ihad to build my own installer and kernel anyway I've decided to use an smp version. Have you tested it witn a non-smp kernel? As it takes a _long_ time to reboot a machine with a crashed CPU (which was the result of all non-SMP kernel tests so far), and the machine should be in production yet, I would like to avoid to try a non-smp kernel on this machine. Right. It makes difficult to us to know if has or not been fixed since your last try. I've looked trough the sparc64 commits (about 80) between 2.6.22 and 2.6.23-rc6 and there was non which looked like it would address such an issue. If you can point me to such a change I'll give a non-smp kernel a try. Right :( Also I'm pretty sure that non-smp kernels just don't work on the machine. As far as I understand the way those machines work is that at least two CPUs have to be in an operating state as they share one CPU Data switch (if you have a look into such a machine you see that always 2 CPUs + their memory are sitting in a CPU bay, and as far as I know you can't run the system with an odd number of CPUs. All processors share the same pysical memory address space and use - depending on the number of CPUs - different cache coherence protocols, so as far as I understand it such a system can't work at all without having all CPUs properly initialized. But probably somebody with a better knowledge about this architecture can give us some insight on that, therefore I'm forwarding the message to debian-sparc, too. Probably interesting to read for you: http://www.sun.com/processors/manuals/USIIIv2.pdf http://docs-pdf.sun.com/806-6592-11/806-6592-11.pdf If that's true then we might have two options: - add a subarch for sparc with the needed kernel changes for it; - change default kernel on installer to be smp; What other think about that?

Currently broken daily builds - - * m68k has a build-failure on the floppy flavours due a full-disk. * mips and mipsel builds are still broken. * The installation problem due the missing symbols still exists in some architectures since the conflict between libc-dev and linux-libc-dev (IIUC) isn't resolved yet (#434040). * sparc lenny CD images are failing due a lack of image on the mirror. The cause of it is the sparc32 removal. Other issues - * Chinese (and Japanese/Korean) texts issue in slang2 (#425835) is still there. * Regressions in cleaning old LVM partitions (#425829) unfixed as well. * newt has issues with time changing (#436497) which has broken clock-setup when updating time during installation (#436340). * console-setup has problems with Esperanto language due a lack of unicore/PVA.pl module on perl-base (#437142).

Steve Langasek [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: For that matter, if someone in the project decides that they have need for a different kernel than the one the kernel team wants to ship (for a particular port, or to support older hardware, or to support a newer cutting-edge kernel design, or for some other reason), the kernel team doesn't have the authority to prohibit this. Yes, kernel team has no authorit to prohibit it but at same time, since there's not need for it now and neither in a near future, kernel team can also do the package renaming and ignore this possibility. -- O T A V I OS A L V A D O R - E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 5906116 GNU/Linux User: 239058 GPG ID: 49A5F855 Home Page: http://otavio.ossystems.com.br - Microsoft sells you Windows ...

I agree with you Steve and personally I don't see any good reason for dropping it. After talking with maks at IRC I've changed my mind and now I agree on the renaming. The only good reason that I still have to keep it is due GIT tree name but I don't think it's a requirement to us to follow it. experimental might be used if we had a linux-2.7 or something while it's not OK for sid and Maks and Bastian agree that we're not going to have more the one kernel source on the distro anymore so there's no more need to allow this diversion. -- O T A V I OS A L V A D O R - E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 5906116 GNU/Linux User: 239058 GPG ID: 49A5F855 Home Page: http://otavio.ossystems.com.br - Microsoft sells you Windows ...

Debian Installer Status Update - 30th July 2007
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 First we'd like to say thank you to Frans Pop by his work as Debian Installer Release Manager and we (Jeremy, Joey and Otavio) are starting to work as a team to manage the next Debian Installer release. It won't be an easy task and we'll do mistakes, for sure, but we're very commited to get it done. Bear on mind that we're intending to have a team-like coordination of the Debian Installer release process and that means you're free to collaborate to it. Please report any issue you have experienced and that's not reported here so we can keep the whole installer quality as good as we can. Just in case you wonder, we hope to make a beta1 release on the end of September. :) New stuff - - * Transition from devfs style device name is now complete. * sparc32 is gone, and code has been cleaned up. Breakage in daily builds - * arm (ads_cf) had a build-failure due the lack of pcmcia-cs-udeb but it's now addressed and should be ok by tomorrow. * The installation problem due the missing symbols still exists in some architectures since the conflict between libc-dev and linux-libc-dev (IIUC) isn't resolved yet (#434040). * mips and mipsel builds are still broken. A possible solution has been identified and we are waiting for actions by the daily build maintainer. * weekly CD builds for sparc are broken. Other issues - * Chinese (and Japanese/Korean) texts issue in slang2 (#425835) is still there. * Regressions in cleaning old LVM partitions (#425829) unfixed as well. Kernel status - - * linux-modules-di-m68k-2.6 isn't uploaded due the lack of loop-aes and squashfs since linux-headers lack modules.lds files (#402061). * hppa has been switched to 2.6.21 but the kernel is currently affected by #431773, #427398, #433768 - all marked as pending. * sparc kernel seems to produces unkillable processes (#433187).

Bug#432151: installation-reports: had to boot with -noapic
Dawn Light [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Booting without the noapic parameter works. I'll be happy to send you logs or anything that will help - just tell me where they are :). Now I'm confuse. Does it works on your current system that you had problems before or on daily images?
