Second Lunar Lobster test rebuild

The second test rebuild of Lunar Lobster was started on March 24, 2023
for all architectures, all components. The rebuild is finished for the
main component on all architectures except riscv64, and still running
for universe/multiverse.

Results (please also look at the superseded builds) can be found at:

https://people.canonical.com/~ginggs/ftbfs-report/test-rebuild-20230324-lunar-lunar.html

Additional build failures for packages in lunar-proposed (not yet
migrated to lunar) can be found at:

http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/ftbfs/

Please help with fixing the build failures.

Graham

+1 maintenance report

I was on +1 last week (my first week :) ) and worked on the following items:

pycodestyle vs update-notifier: update-notifier was failing a style check with the new pycodestyle and blocking its migration. I submitted a trivial fix upstream which was merged and pycodestyle migrated when a new release of update-notifier was uploaded.

flake8-import-order vs python-flake8 vs pycodestyle: flake8-import-order was failing with the new pycodestyle. It required a retry triggered with python-flake8 from -proposed and migrated after that.

python-pytest-flake8 vs python-flake8: python-pytest-flake8 was also failing with the new pycodestyle. It required a retry triggered with python-flake8 from -proposed.

python-flake8 vs icdiff: the new version of icdiff was failing due to a weird test that used process substitution and was expecting a specific file descriptor number to succeed. I reached out to the upstream project on Github and they came up with a fix. I also submitted a PR to integrate another patch present in the package which is already merged so hopefully we can drop all the patches on the next release.

fio vs tgt: tgt's tests were failing due to a missing test dependency (fio-examples). It was fixed on Ubuntu and submitted to Debian as well.

These packages were migrated during my shift:

pycodestyle
python-flake8
python-pytest-flake8
icdiff
fio
tgt

Lunar Lobster (23.04) Beta milestone reminder

Hello everyone!

This is a gentle reminder about the nearing Beta milestone for Lunar
Lobster (23.04) next week, along with the usual Beta Freeze on Monday.
Please make sure to get as much as possible into the release pocket
before that time - the Beta is usually a great occasion to test how
things are looking before the release. The closer the Beta is to our
final product, the better.

Thanks!
Graham

Thank you, that will be quite useful to avoid many of us asking your
or Paride about "what is currently going on".

One question, do you expect Ubuntu developers to use the discussion on
the page to report new things (and will you monitor them) or do you
continue to want pings via mails or the chat protocol of your choice?
Whichever way you decide, this already great page could benefit from a
permanent footer "If you think you found something not listed here
that is not working right, do/contact ...." statement reflecting that.

Autopkgtest Service

The other week I created a discourse post[1] to document any known issues
about the autopkgtest service. The Ubuntu QA team will be updating it as
needed and if there is anything really terrible going on I'll still send
an email to this mailing list.
