Kamionmdz: I'm waiting for the i386 kernels to build12:04
Kamionor be NEW-processed or whatever, not sure where they are12:04
mdzKamion: I mean, does that require a 2-day cycle to get into d-i and then onto the CD?  or does it go straight to the CD?12:05
mdzon a previous occasion you said that a particular update would take 2 days to propagate12:05
Kamionhttp://people.no-name-yet.com/~lamont/buildLogs/l/linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6/0.64ubuntu4/linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6_0.64ubuntu4_20040927-2023-i386-successful says it built OK12:05
mdzthey're probably waiting in NEW, then12:05
Kamionmdz: I'm going to be doing a debian-installer upload today anyway, so it'll get into that12:05
Kamionsince it's needed for the new kernels12:06
mdzI wonder if NEW processing can be automated for warty, for new binary packages from existing source12:06
Kamionand I have a few minor boot screen changes from Mark12:06
mdzor more importantly, if elmo would explode12:06
Kamiondunno, I tend to think it's a good sanity check12:06
Kamionat the very least it would have to validate against germinate output, I think12:07
Kamionmdz: to answer your earlier question properly, the new kernel .debs go straight to the CD, but the new .udebs require a d-i build and then a CD build12:08
Kamionif you forget about the d-i build stage, then the CD is essentially unusable for a day12:08
mdzKamion: so the end result is that if they get processed in time for your d-i build, they'll be on tomorrow's CD12:08
Kamionmdz: since I'm waiting for it ... :)12:08
Kamionyes12:08
KamionI'll hopefully be doing a CD build tonight, maybe calling it Sounder 9 if it works12:09
mdzI tested a CD install after fixing vim, and it worked for me12:11
mdzso hopefully it should be in good shape12:11
elmo_NEW cleared12:11
elmo_anything else before I head back to the hotel?12:12
mdzelmo_: don't think so, thanks12:12
mdzelmo_: oht, wait12:13
Mithrandirelmo_: sync gftp, please?12:13
Mithrandirelmo_: you've got mail about it, and mdz approved it12:13
mdzelmo_: myspell-en-us and myspell-en-gb hadn't yet been added to desktopp when you did the resync, I think12:13
mdzI've added them now12:13
Mithrandirbut I haven't seen it, so I guess you've forgotten?12:13
Mithrandiror not done yet12:13
mdzthose should be in desktop for sounder 9 if at all possible12:13
mdzso that spell checking works12:14
elmo_Mithrandir: it wasn't on ftp.uk earlier - I'll check12:14
Mithrandirelmo_: it was in incoming when I wrote the mail. :)12:14
elmo_yeah, I don't sync from incoming, that feels like crossing a line12:14
Mithrandirmakes sense12:15
mdzlikewise for openoffice.org-hyphenation12:15
Mithrandirmdz: we've had an ooo upload since my amd64 build, right?12:15
mdzMithrandir: I think so, yes12:15
Mithrandirmdz: do you know if anybody has done the amd64 upload as well?12:15
Mithrandirif not, I should get around to it tomorrow12:16
=== Mithrandir misses something like madison
Kamionelmo_: hm, will you be able to byhand the debian-installer upload tonight?12:17
Kamionelmo_: if not, I'll defer Sounder 9 'til tomorrow12:17
mdzMithrandir: I do not think it has been done yet12:22
Mithrandirnope, doesn't look like it.12:23
Kamionelmo_: just uploaded debian-installer 20040801ubuntu16, so it should build soon12:23

pittimdz: I will prepare a test package and send it to you09:11
mdzpitti: great, I will be awake for a bit, but not too long09:12
mdzpitti: do you not experience the crash?09:12
pittimdz: no, it worked fine for me09:12
mdzinteresting09:12
pittimdz: I tried burning to an unmounted and to a mounted RW+09:12
mdzthis is basically a clean warty install09:12
mdzI did a daily cd install test 2 days ago09:13
pittimdz: hmm, I apt-upgraded yesterday09:13
mdzjdub: what's the deal on wvdial?  shall we suck it up and add wvdial to desktop?09:13

jameshas opposed to a Linspire or a Suse?09:17
mdzpitti: I have no idea; I thought it was in the same situation as ppp_generic, ide-disk, etc. where there was simply no trigger to load it09:21
pittimdz: maybe it's loaded automatically as soon as hal starts09:22
pittimdz: I will try that out09:22
MithrandirARGH.09:22
Mithrandirapt-get upgrade hangs, but works if I strace it.09:22
MithrandirI wonder how I am to generate an useful error report out of this..09:23
pittimdz: hmm, now n-c-b crashes at my box _with_ the fix I had in mind...09:23
pittimdz: I wanted to unmount the CD the Gnome way, to get rid of device locks and have the preumount signal09:24
pittimdz: but these APIs are not documented yet; if that fails, I can revert to just calling pumount for the device09:24
mdzjdub: you can configure the essid; it's just sneaky about it09:27
mdzjdub: essid == "network name"09:27
mdzjdub: which nobody _ever_ guesses (#1295) and I think we should fix if possible09:27
jdubmdz: no seriously -> g-s-t does not grok that eth1 is a wireless device. (so doesn't offer *any* of those options.)09:29
mdzjdub: sux0r, works for me09:30
jdubalso, where do bluetooth devices show up?09:30
mdzjdub: what do you get when a cross an elephant with a rhino?09:30
pittimdz: http://www.piware.de/nautilus-cd-burner_2.8.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb09:30
pittimdz: works for me09:30
jdub/proc/bluetooth has stuff in it, but the device doesn't seem to be listed anywhere sane09:30
mdzpitti: I'll give it a try09:30
mdzMithrandir: when did this problem appear?09:38
Mithrandirmdz: some time ago -- a week or two, I think.09:39
jdubmdz: confirmation for gdm upload that changes conf stuff only?09:39
MithrandirI've upgraded to the latest kernel, so it's at least not that.09:39
jdubfour changes in total:09:39
jdub-#GtkTheme=Default09:39
jdub+GtkTheme=Human09:39
Mithrandirmdz: and it's worked around easily enough with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL, but I fear some end-user will run into it.09:39

jdub+AllowGtkThemeChange=true09:39
jdub-#GtkThemesToAllow=all09:39

elmo_seb128: that new gnomemeeting pulled in a whole bunch of stuff to main - known?10:18
seb128which stuff ?10:18
elmo_db2, docbook-defguide, docbook-ebnf, fftw, tidy, wvdial, wvstreams10:19
seb128that's due to gnomemeeting ?10:19
seb128I've uploaded previous version with only "libpt-plugins-v4l | libpt-plugins-avc | libpt-plugins-dc" in the depends10:19
elmo_hmm, maybe not, sorry, I think it's gnome meeting plus some seed changes10:21
seb128ok, no problem10:21
seb128wvdial is required for ppp config with gnome-system-tools10:21
seb128somebody probably added it to a seed10:22
seb128dunno for the others10:22
elmo_yeah, matt did10:22

mdzwhat crap10:27
sivanganyone besides fabbione/daniels can help to work a 100hz working X config?10:27
elmo_all due to wvdial10:27
mdzI wonder if wvstreams can be pared down not to require those10:28
mdzcertainly the doc stuff10:28
sivangI've been munging it for a couple of hours, X just won't agree to use 100Hz for vrefresh. Although monitor supports it10:28
elmo_mdz: want me to add it in the meantime?10:29

elmo_gar, main depends on restricted now?10:58
elmo_is that valid?10:58
mdzelmo_: I emailed you and colin twice, weeks ago, asking your opinion on that, and neither of you replied11:01
mdzpitti: your new nautilus-cd-burner fixes the segfault11:02
elmo_you mentioned that, but I couldn't find any mail about it11:02
mdzpitti: but the original problem is not fixed11:02
pittimdz: okay, thanks for the report11:02
pittimdz: which original problem?11:02
mdzpitti: the device is still mounted in the middle of the write operation11:02
pittimdz: even with the new hal/gvm?11:02
mdzVersion: 0.2.98-1ubuntu111:02
mdzVersion: 1.0.2-0ubuntu111:02
pittimdz: when you start to burn, hal-device-manager should display some info.lock* properties11:03
pittimdz: it worked fine for me, so I thought that were handled...11:03
mdzpitti: I did not see any; is that the right version of hal?11:04
pittimdz: this locking stuff is not perfect anyway; it is an advisory lock for gvm, and you can still pmount the device or use a manual mount (right-clock in context menu)11:04
pittimdz: yes, right hal version11:04
elmo_mdz: I've re-searched and really can't find this mail - can you give me a subject/msg-id?11:05
mdz02:05:24.253 [I]  linux/block_class_device.c:2312: Directory /etc changed11:05
mdz02:05:24.253 [I]  linux/block_class_device.c:2226: /etc/mtab changed, processing all block devices11:05
pittimdz: I also could reproduce this once, but I tried yesterday and it did not "work" (the bug reproduction)11:05
mdzpitti: that is all I see from hal when the write starts11:05
pittimdz: I don't know whether the lockign stuff is logged; can you look into hal-device-manager?11:06
mdzelmo_: I'll look; I don't _think_ I hallucinated it11:06
mdzelmo_: but basically I think it comes down to naming.  I'd like to have a metapackage which depends on both linux-image and linux-restricted-modules, and probably another one which just depends on linux-image11:07
pittimdz: I just got another grave bug report against the new hal; it can destroy USB stick file systems11:07
mdzbut I can't think of reasonable names11:07
pittimdz: new upstream versions...11:07
mdzelmo_: Message-ID: <20040917001908.GR5721@alcor.net>11:08
mdzelmo_: Subject: Re: Metapackages for linux-restricted-modules11:08
mdzpitti: great :-/11:08
mdzpitti: anyway the burning seems to work correctly at least11:08
pittimdz: yes, great that I did not upload the stuff immediately :-/11:08
mdzit is just disconcerting to have it open and close during the process11:08
pittimdz: oh, when it happened to me, the burning failed11:09
pittimdz: maybe because my burner is very old and does not have burnproof and the like11:09
pittimdz: locking still should work, this was the primary reason for the new upstream stuff11:09
pittimdz: I take a look at this today11:09
elmo_mdz: okay, sorry I did get that but managed to completely lose it somehow11:11
elmo_mdz: anyway, I really think violating the main-is-a-self-contained-unit thing is a bad plan, but I can't really justify it beyond that11:11
fabbionemdz: 1405. i dunno. i can't really check right now since my test box can't be installed until debootstrap is built and uploaded11:13
mdzelmo_: I agree; I was looking for something more in the way of a solution11:14
mdzfabbione: it is already built and uploaded11:14
elmo_mdz: you should have learnt not to have such unreasonable expectations by now, dude11:15

elmo_mdz: but seriously, there are no solutions beyond "don't do that" surely? i.e. using, like you  said, two meta packages11:16
mdzpitti: correct11:16
pittimdz: or where do you get these messages from?11:16
mdzelmo_: <mdz> elmo_: but basically I think it comes down to naming.  I'd like to have a metapackage which depends on both linux-image and linux-restricted-modules, and probably another one which just depends on linux-image11:17
elmo_I think two meta packages is more correct anyway as not all of us are going to want the restricted crap installed11:17
pittimdz: incidentially, my hal also crashed11:17
mdzI guess we could have linux-<flavour> as the image+restricted one11:17
mdzand create a linux-image-<flavour> for just the image11:17
pittimdz: but no segfault, it just hangs uninterrupibly11:17
mdzok, I need to get to bed11:17

elmo_no prob11:25
seb128I was thinking that depends for stuff in main were automatically in main ...11:26
elmo_no, because a) the wiki's wide-open and that's where the seed lists are, b) even additions by our venerable CTO (e.g. wvdial) lead to unexpected and unwanted changes11:27

pittisjoerd: here?02:22
sjoerdpitti: yeah02:22
pittisjoerd: I looked at this mount locking stuff when a CD-RW is burned02:23
pittisjoerd: currently only the hal package supports locking; but shouldn't gvm actually check this lock before mounting a device?02:23
pittisjoerd: do you know whether this is already implemented upstream?02:23
sjoerdpitti: it's in gvm's unstable branch02:24
sjoerdpitti: i intend to patch debians gvm 1.0.2 with it before uploading02:24
pittisjoerd: I was already wondering why cd burning still sucks...02:24
sjoerdbut first hal needs to get out of new...02:24
pittisjoerd: thanks; I will grab it from there02:24
pittisjoerd: do you happen to have the CVS URL at hand?02:24
pittisjoerd: don't bother, I have it02:25
sjoerdhehe02:25
sjoerdpitti: although for debian it's still somewhat useless, because nothing uses it02:25
pittisjoerd: we urgently need that to fix cd burning02:25
pittisjoerd: the half-written cd is mounted during burning, which breaks the further burning02:26
pittisjoerd: and the user can still manually mount the cd02:26
sjoerdautch02:26
=== sjoerd hasn't seen that behaviour
sjoerdonly that some drives abort burning when nautilus polls media status02:27
pittisjoerd: ah, I have the patch02:27
sjoerds/nautilus/hal/02:27
=== pitti will go to implement it
pittisjoerd: when I'm at fixing gvm, what does this 03_browse_fixup patch do?02:28
pittisjoerd: does it open a nautilus window if gthumb is not invoked?02:28
sjoerdpitti: yes02:29
pittisjoerd: nice02:29
sjoerdpitti: same for when inserting dvd's when video playing action is disabled02:29
pittisjoerd: will it go upstream?02:30
pittisjoerd: I don't want to diverge from upstream behavior too much02:30
sjoerdpitti: i've sent it but it wasn't applied 02:30
pittisjoerd: we already discussed that; this should probably be another option in the removable device configuration dialog02:30
sjoerdpitti: ?02:31
pittisjoerd: Ubuntu has a nice dialog where you can configure what happens with your removable devices02:32
pittisjoerd: This is no Ubuntu invention, it must be there in Debian, too02:32
sjoerdpitti: you mean gnome-volume-properties 02:32
pittisjoerd: probably :-)02:32
sjoerdwhat do you mean by ``this'' there. Opening nautilus when the import photo's option is disabled ?02:33
=== sjoerd needs to put all the debian patches in bugzilla rsn, so they won't be completely forgotten
pittisjoerd: by "this" I mean "fall back to browsing if no other handling was applied"02:37
sjoerdok02:37
pittisjoerd: IMHO it makes sense02:37
pittisjoerd: but some users might not want it02:38
sjoerdhmm.. well a mass storage camera is just removable storage, for which gvm makes an exception02:38
pittisjoerd: AFAICS this gvm patch only inhibits automatic mounts during CD Burning02:38
pittisjoerd: users can still mount it manually02:38
pittisjoerd: so maybe gnome-vfs2 shoudl respect info.locked as well?02:39
sjoerdthat would be nice02:39
pittisjoerd: this still won't help against a command line "mount", though02:40
pittisjoerd: that's the reason why I implemented this in pmount02:40
=== sjoerd was just thinking about that
azeempitti: who sould mount a CD while it is getting burned?02:41
pittisjoerd: but matt prefered the upstream solution02:41
azeemeh, s/sould/would/02:41
pittiazeem: users do stupid things.. :-)02:41
azeemyeah, but you don't patch coreutils to prevent rm -rf $HOME either, do you?02:41
sjoerdthere is a certain level where the user is just doing stupid things02:41
pittiazeem: no02:41
pittisjoerd: agreed :-)02:42
sjoerdyou can't prevent that :)..02:42
azeemI mean, if somebody uses the command-line, he should know what he does02:42
azeemor she02:42
sjoerdpreventing accidental mounts from nautilus sounds nice though02:42
pittisjoerd,azeem: Implementing it in pmount was no big deal, so it would have been nice02:42
sjoerdIs ubuntu's cdrecord patched to use O_EXCL btw ?02:42
pittisjoerd: I will implement this if the current packages are uploaded02:43
pittisjoerd: I don't know02:43
pittisjoerd: but that sounds sensible; I added it to my ~/.todo02:43
sjoerdSee http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=262678 for some more info about it02:44
sjoerdsame goes for all other burning programs ofcourse02:48
pittisjoerd: like these dvd+rw-utils?02:48

T-Bonelamont: lol, roughly04:50
lamontman dpkg-scanpackages :-)04:51
T-Bonehmm, isn't apt-ftparchive easier to use?04:51
lamonttruthfully, put all the _ia64.deb's and _all.debs (harvested from an i386 warty box, or the mirror of your choice) into one directory, and run your archive creator of choice.04:51
lamontyeah, whatever. :-)04:52
T-Bonelamont: thx to you, i _have_ a local mirror ;)04:52
lamontthen comes the tricky part...04:52
lamontah, yes. well.04:52
lamontonce you have that repository built, then you have to:04:53
lamontA) decide if you think you can debootstrap from it or not.04:53
T-Bonelamont: bad news: perl won't build04:53
lamontassume "not"04:53
lamontthat would be a definite "not". :-)04:54
T-Bonelol04:54
T-Bonemake[1] : *** [lib/Config.pm]  Segmentation fault04:54
=== lamont forgets what we did to fix that when it died elsewhen. burn that bridge when we drive off of it.
lamontso.  Add your freshly created ia64 (incomplete) repository to sources.list in the chroot, _BEFORE_ snapshot.d.n04:55
lamontapt-get clean04:55
lamontapt-get update04:55
lamontapt-get -udy dist-upgrade, see how ugly it looks, then probably really upgrade.04:55
lamontrepeat all those steps iteratively until such time as you have a debootstrappable repository.04:56
lamont(from apt-ftparchive through dist-upgrade/sbuild)04:56
lamontthe sbuild happens after the dist-upgrade, but before the "repeat" :-)04:56

=== lamont hands Kamion a metacity-focus-beating stick
Kamionlamont: fluxbox, as it happens, and this is *normally* the behaviour I want ...04:58
thomdaniels: nothing about C++ is love04:59
T-Bonelamont: assuming glibc builds cleanly this time, we only have perl left, and we hope that rebuilding it from an almost ubuntu chroot will make it build, right?04:59
lamontright.04:59
lamontat this point, the only things we worry about rebuilding are things we need to debootstrap04:59
Kamionlamont: the kernel clobbers /proc/$$/root when viewed from inside the chroot, so there are at least some attempts to make it hard to tell04:59
danielsthom: eh, there are a lot of things to like.  classes, inheritance, all the good stuff.04:59
lamontthen we (1) save this chroot, because we'll need it later, and (2) create a fresh new warty chroot, throw everything away, and let the building begin.05:00
T-Bonelamont: ok. Then afterwards we'll get into the "real" step2, where we'll debootstrap from this archive a new ubuntu ia64 chroot under which we'll rebuild main one more time, correct?05:00
lamontof course, at any point that you have enough to play with a CD set, you can start playing with that...05:00
lamontKamion: yeah05:00
lamontit's supposed to not be easy.05:00
T-Bonelamont: right, CD set is the top item on my todo list05:00
lamontThen again, if you're on ext[23]  and / isn't inode 2, you're in a chroot..:-)05:01
Kamionheh05:01
lamontKamion: but if it _is_ to, then you may or may not be in a chroot.05:01
T-Bonelamont: actually, i don't want to rebuild everything then in the "stage1-2" phase, i'm only trying to rebuild perl, right?05:01
lamontin our bastardized half-breed chroot, we just want to build enough to create our new chroot.05:02
lamontand additional gravy as desired.05:02
lamontthat is, we'll eventually want a fully-built warty tree, built on the bits we built in stage 105:03
lamontbut for working on the CD's, you really only care that you have bits.05:03
T-Boneok. So i can save time in sbuilding only what's needed to debootstrap, during the bastardized stage05:03
lamontshlib deps and such may be issues, hence the stage 2 build.  But I expect that you'll hit DI issues before you hit stage1 vs 2 issues05:04
lamontright.05:04
T-Boneokay05:04
lamontand then later (in full-blown stage2 timeframe), you'll discover circular build-deps that you need to bastardize back into existance because they didn't build in pure-stage 105:04
lamonthence we keep the bastard chroot05:04
T-Bonelol05:04
lamontthe process is very much objective-focused.. :-)05:05

T-Boneand i thought that bootstraping an arch was something "clean" ;)05:06
lamontwith a footnote to remember anytime you kludge something horribly, because it'll come back and bite you in your backside later when the buildd's start bootstrapping from your chroot...05:06
T-Bonecome to think of it, i recall some dirtyness during the fist days of palinux ;))05:06
lamontyeah05:06
lamontit's never pretty at the start...05:07

lamontkinda like working with raw sewage, sometimes...05:07

lamontelmo/elmo_: as a note... When we upstream-version-freeze, could we pretty please snag a consistant archive for all the architectures we _don't_ support, too? :-)05:07
T-BoneLOL!05:08
lamontor maybe one of the architecture boot-strap teams could help snapshot.d.n get good archive-by-date Packages files..05:08

Kamionwell after the user gets added05:58
Kamionwhy does it need to know?05:58
KamionI don't understand why these problems exist05:58
KamionI also don't understand why you think dpkg-reconfigure might help given that everything of any interest in postfix.postinst is guarded by != "No configuration"05:58
=== lamont thinks that the question was "seen" during debootstrap - at least enough to set the default...
lamontpostfix's config/postinst is being too smart for itself, I fear.05:59
=== lamont will ponder.
KamionI still don't understand; when I took that question out, it was partly because I looked through postfix.postinst and concluded that reconfiguring it was an absolute no-op06:00
Kamionquestions in debootstrap rarely get the seen flag set, but they may get their value set06:00
lamontit may be...  But I think it shouldn't be a no-op. :-(06:00
Kamionthe former is a bug currently assigned to me06:00

danielselmo_: by uploading stuff targetted at hoary06:49
danielsnpmccallum: is it about a solid black X staying on screen?06:49
npmccallumdaniels: no06:49
danielsoh06:49
elmo_daniels: no, it's just half-configured I mean06:50
danielsnpmccallum: that's just a case of bad theming, though06:50
fabbionenpmccallum: no idea what it can be, but i am sure it's not an X bug06:50
danielsnpmccallum: there's nothing actually wrong, it's just that someone needs to draw a better cursor06:51
danielsfabbione: it's the cursor being inconsistent in the actual theme, not our bug06:51
npmccallumfabbione: I'm pretty sure that that X cursor theme comes packaged with X, no?06:51
fabbionenpmccallum: no06:51
danielsnpmccallum: ehm, I think in this case, no06:51

mdzanyone here have an i386 system with >=2GB of RAM?07:35
thommdz: no, it stops me having to juggle about 8 patches to the default firefox, plus our branding. it's a huge time saver, and much *less* intrusive than, say, moving it to DBS07:35
thom;-)07:35

danielsnpmccallum: not at all07:48
npmccallummdz: no, >=1GB ram07:50
npmccallumdaniels: do you know which image actually changes that cursor?  I assumed "cross", but nothing happens when I add it and restart...07:50
danielsnpmccallum: ehm, not really sure off the top of my head, sorry07:51
npmccallumdaniels: none of the themes actually change that cursor07:51
danielsit looks non-core to me07:52
npmccallumit certainly does...07:52
sladennpmccallum/daniels: is the plan to replace the default X cursor with a completely transparent one?07:56
daniels... *completely*?07:56
danielsas in, invisibl07:56
danielse07:57
npmccallumsladen: actually we are just going to remove mouse support from X :)07:59
sladendaniels: yeah, without reading the scrollback, I wondered if it might be a kludgy solution for cards where the hardware cursor isn't being used, but the default cursor is still loaded and left bang in the centre of the screen07:59
npmccallumsladen: see bug #175307:59
danielssladen: ow, dude, my head07:59
danielscore cursors don't have an alpha channel, anyway07:59

pittimdz: re 1864: yes, this libsg is just a subdirectory of cdrecord, it's not actually a shared lib. I will upload this thing, thanks for approving it08:12
danielspitti: what are you doing to libscg?08:13
pittidaniels: #186408:13
pittidaniels: I added a patch which opens the burning devices exclusively08:13

pittidaniels: this avoids interference with hal08:13
danielsbe very, very careful wrt licence08:13
pittidaniels: oh? it should be DFSG, not?08:14
danielshalf of libscg is 'you may not breathe on this without adding "schily is god, all hail schily" prominently' all through it08:14
danielspittish08:14
mdzpitti: by the way, if you want to operate on a Debian bug in bugzilla, just tell me and I can import the bug itself with all comments08:14
pittidaniels: wasn't xfree 3.5 rejected because of this particular reason?08:14
danielspitti: libscg requires you to change version on modification08:15
pittimdz: ah, I forgot that again. Next time :-)08:15
mdzdaniels: didn't you close that bug saying that our version was old enough that it didn't have the evil problems?08:15
danielspitti: xfree86 4.4 was rejected because you were required to do advertising in documentation08:15
pittidaniels: okay, then I will add an ubuntu branding. mdz, is that okay for you? (trivial patch)08:15
danielsmdz: there's a difference between utter crap and non-dfsg-free08:15
danielspitti: do you want to let me handle this in the morning?08:15
=== lamont goes off to ponder postfix, and maybe get girls from school in a couple hours and such.
danielsmdz: since 2.0, libscg has required you to change versions if you change certain parts of it08:16
mdzdaniels: what matters is whether or not it meets the Ubuntu guidelines; does it?08:16
=== lamont will also ponder breakfast
danielsmdz: very recently, it was changed to actually violate the licence quite blatant08:16
danielsly08:16
danielswe're unaffected by the latter08:16
danielsmdz: yes, but it's still obnoxiously crap08:16
pittidaniels: if you mean that you want to change the version string, for my sake yes08:16
danielsit meets the dfsg, dude08:16
danielspitti: i'd just be a little more comfortable if I handled it08:17
mdzpitti: if you need to change the version string, that's fine08:17
danielsmdz: essentially, yes08:17
pittidaniels: okay, I send you my current interdiff, you mangle the version string and upload. Okay?08:18
danielspitti: sure08:18
