glibc 2.34 is coming to impish tomorrow

2021-08-10 Thread Michael Hudson-Doyle
Hi everyone,

This is just a bit of advance notice that we'll be uploading the new
release of glibc, 2.34, to impish in about 24 hours and are hoping we can
get it migrated before feature freeze next week. So expect autopkgtest
queues to be a bit clogged for a while.

As Matthias mailed yesterday we have done a test rebuild with the new glibc
and while it causes a few build failures we're working through there is no
evidence of trouble running existing binaries so hopefully the new version
won't be too disruptive. But finding that out is what all
those autopkgtests are for :-)

Cheers,
mwh

Since there was only agreement, I think we can call this consensus. I've 
gone ahead and updated the release schedule now. We'll stop auto syncing 
some time on Thursday.

Sorry. I think we're likely to miss replies to the release schedule, so 
to hopefully prevent this in the future I've closed the thread and 
upated the docs to say to do that in future.

Ubuntu 20.04.3 delayed until August 26th

2021-08-10 Thread Lukasz Zemczak
Hello,

While working towards the 20.04.3 milestone, we received reports of
the currently available shim package causing daily builds of our
installation media to fail to boot on some devices[1]. A fix for that
is now in progress, but as we would like to make sure the new version
of the package is well tested before candidate images are built.
Subsequently, we decided more time is needed. In addition to that we
are also investigating an unrelated issue with our RISC-V images[2],
whose root cause is not yet fully understood. As we feel that rushing
things through is not the right way to go, we decided to play it safe
and delay the point-release date a week, to August 26th.

That being said, we will be freezing the focal-updates pocket at the
same date as originally planned (on August 12th), afterwards only
releasing packages that are critical for the .3 milestone. Let’s all
use the additional week for further testing.

Remember that the progress of the 20.04.3 release can be tracked at
any time via our release status tracking post on discourse:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/focal-fossa-20-04-3-lts-point-release-status-tracking/22948

Thank you.

On behalf of the release team,

Results of archive rebuild against OpenSSL3

2021-08-10 Thread Simon Chopin
Hello,

As some of you may be aware, the OpenSSL project is working towards a
major OpenSSL 3.0 version, which will not be ABI compatible with
the current 1.1 branch[0]. They have recently released a first Release
Candidate version[1], and in order to prepare for a stable release, I've
uploaded a version of this release candidate on a PPA, based on the
Debian Experimental version[2].

I have also uploaded to this PPA all packages currently in impish that
have a direct reverse-dependency on libssl-dev, to assess the amount of
breakage such a transition would bring. You'll find the result at [3],
but please bear in mind that it is a really rough experiment, so it's
likely that I've missed some dependencies, or that some build failures
aren't related to OpenSSL at all.

Note that there aren't any concrete plans for OpenSSL3 in Ubuntu *yet*,
so don't panic. This work has been done in order to assess the amount of
work involved in such migration.

Also, since the rebuild has been done in a PPA, I had to tweak the
report script quite a bit, so some of its features might not have been
working properly.

Cheers,
Simon
