Hi, Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online with the irc logs here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/Server/20080416.
==== server upgrader run with --force-overwrite ==== mvo explained that update-manager is running with --force-overwrite when doing a desktop upgrade. He wanted to know it was a good idea that do-release-upgrade also run with --force-overwrite on a server upgrade. He explained that --force- overwrite makes dpkg ignore errors about missing Replaces: when files from one package travel into another one for example which is unfortunately pretty common. After some discussion, the server team agreed with mvo that running the server upgrader with --force-overwrite makes sense. ==== Review high priority bugs related to the Server Team ==== mathiaz reminded that important bugs should be milestoned for hardy. If anyone is not able to milestone a bug, he should get with a developer who will have a quick look at the bug and milestone it if appropriate. nijaba wondered whether kvm testing has been tested enough. mathiaz reported a couple of issues he ran into during his daily usage. Unfortunately these were not easily reproducible or he found workarounds for them. nealmcb mentioned that soren, our virtualization specialist, was already virtually present on all machines. soren didn't deny it and we all started to chase down soren virtual presence in our machines. All searches were unsuccessful though. ==== Ubuntu Documentation Search ==== kirkland put up a page [1] using Google Custom Search that searches different resources related to Ubuntu. It includes about a dozen ubuntu/launchpad/etc related websites which are given priority when doing a global Google search of the web. While designing the page he was unable to find an online database of man pages shipped in ubuntu releases. He talked with cjwatson to put together a site of manpages. mathiaz suggested to contact the Documentation Team and present them his work.

He suggested to start with the content of help.ubuntu.com and see which pages could be turned into white papers. mathiaz suggested to contact the Documentation team and start by defining what would be the content of a whitepaper. Having a session at UDS to cover that would also be a valid option. ==== Agree on next meeting date and time ==== Next meeting will be on Wednesday, April 23th at 21:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting. -- Mathias Gug Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
