Hi -devel, As part of the newly formed Ubuntu QA team [1] I'm doing a shorter 1-day +1 maintenance rotation which, other than helping with the usual +1 duties, is a practical way for me to monitor the state of the autopkgtest infrastructure. Here is the summary for this week.
## Migrations - plink1.9, stuck in kinetic-proposed for >130 days due to an autopkgtest regression. Failure identified as an LTO issue. Package added to lto-disabled-list (LP: #1979247), followed by a no-change upload. It migrated. - firejail, stuck in proposed due to autopkgtest regression on armhf. Issue identified as due to new tests requiring (at least) a privileged container to success, while the Ubuntu armhf testbed system is an unprivileged LXD container. I uploaded a workaround (restricting the failing test to isolation-machine, see LP: #1979358), and also filed Debian bug on this [2]. After a fruitful discussion with the Debian maintainer I merged a new package version from Debian, this one requiring the workaround (tested by triggering autopkgtests from a PPA; package currently in -proposed). I also suggested a possible way to drop the only delta the package currently has. ## Tooling - I polished some local changes I had to allow autopkgtest-virt-lxd to run tests in LXD VMs, and submitted this upstream [3]. I think testing/feedback from Ubuntu developers is needed there. If that gets merged we could consider running the armhf tests in LXD VMs, avoiding issues like the firejail one I mentioned above. - I submitted another MR to autopkgtest upstream to update the documentation to make it explicit that the isolation-container restriction does not imply that the container is privileged. ## Misc - I updated the ProposedMigration wiki page [5] to suggest that strange FTBFS/crashes in newer Ubuntu releases not seen in Debian may be due to LTO, and that it's worth checking.
