Re: The transition to add support for Python 3.6 is beginning

2017-06-20 Thread Christian Ehrhardt
Hi Michael,
thanks for all the work on this.
I checked packages in your list that I often touch and found openvswitch:

It fails with:

Copying ovs.egg-info to
/<>/debian/python3-openvswitch/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ovs-2.7.0.egg-info

Skipping SOURCES.txt
running install_scripts
/bin/sh: 2: cd: can't cd to python
debian/rules:84: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed

That is [1] that I fixed in [2].

In general I wonder, other than your work of fixing these issues
one-by-one, will you just re-upload new versions of the remaining
failed packages iteratively every now and then to see things if like
that resolved? Or do you need us other devs to notify you in any known
case?

Re: The transition to add support for Python 3.6 is beginning

2017-06-20 Thread Michael Hudson-Doyle
Hi all,

An update on the transition to Python 3.6: Python 3.6 is now a supported
version in artful release, and almost all packages that build C extensions
have been rebuilt (pandas is still a problem).

We have created a PPA where python3.6 is the default and rebuilt all python
packages:
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-foundations/+archive/ubuntu/python3.6-as-default/+packages
and the next step is to fix all the failures this reveals.  The initial
failing source packages are listed in http://paste.ubuntu.com/24903638/
although some of those have been fixed now.

Once the failures are accounted for, we can flip the switch to make python
3.6 the default in the archive.

Cheers,
mwh

Hello,

The Ubuntu Kernel Team has published this weeks newsletter, which is in the 
body of this email.  It will also be published on the insights blog[0].

The Newsletter is published weekly. It contains highlights from the week, 
announcements regarding the development and stable kernels, as well as any 
other news the Kernel Team may have.

Sincerely,

The Ubuntu Kernel Team

This newsletter is to provide a status update from the Ubuntu Kernel
Team.  There will also be highlights provided for any interesting
subjects the team may be working on.


If you would like to reach the kernel team, you can find us at the
#ubuntu-kernel channel on FreeNode.  Alternatively, you can mail the
Ubuntu Kernel Team mailing list at: kernel-t...@lists.ubuntu.com

Due to that, the proposed updates for the above packages being prepared
on the current SRU cycle are being re-spun to include the fix.

[1] CVE description: It was discovered that the stack guard page for
processes in the Linux kernel was not sufficiently large enough to
prevent overlapping with the heap. An attacker could leverage this with
another vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and gain administrative
privileges.

I’d be interested to see these statistics that back-up the claim of "most 
users" not using intermediate releases between LTSes. While 51% of users would 
count as “most” that would also mean several million users (I’m guessing here) 
using intermediate releases. While it is appropriate to discuss the potential 
for a rolling release I think that arguments in favour, which are based on 
assumptions of “most users”, need to be thoroughly researched rather than 
bandied about liberally without hard facts.
