@pilot in I only managed to work on 4 issues today during my patch piloting, but they were fun ones.
http://pad.lv/785854 This was a patch by Evan Broder to ubuntu-dev-tools, implementing a wrapper around subprocess.Popen to emulate the Python 3.2 behavior where SIGPIPE is restored in the subprocess. It's a good idea and a decent patch, but I had some questions and made some suggestions, marking the merge proposal needs-fixing. http://pad.lv/777420 This was a problem with `ipython -pylab -gthread` hanging in Natty. The issue was fixed with a new upstream version in Oneiric, and Julian Taylor backported just the fix to the Natty branch. I reviewed the change, built the package locally, tested it, and verified that it fixes the problem. Branch approved and uploaded to natty-proposed. Yay! My first sponsor upload to -proposed. http://pad.lv/791221 Soren pinged me on IRC about this one. Nova's test suite started failing in Python 2.7.2rc1 on Oneiric, where it worked just fine on Natty and Python 2.7.1+. Indeed, in reviewing the upstream Python NEWS file for 2.7.2rc1, I found a suspicious entry that wasn't associated with a tracker issue. I was able to boil the problem down to a small, reproducible test case, reviewed the change in Python's Mercurial repository, and opened a release blocker bug to address the issue before 2.7.2 final is released. http://bugs.python.org/issue12248 http://pad.lv/792043 Scott Moser reported that Python 2.7 breaks offlineimap, while it works fine in Python 2.6. I reviewed the differences in imaplib.py between the two versions but couldn't immediately see the problem. I asked for more information in the Launchpad bug and will follow that going forward. @pilot out -Barry
