sivangjdub : I have tried to modify gnome-system-tools package, if I dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot it without modifications, no prob. it makes a new deb.04:33
sivangjdub : however, if I change anything inside /src  or /backends  it gets upset telling that intltool is outdated.04:34
sivangjdub : I've been trying to add some code to it to enable me to do xml output dump outs to see what's going on the interfaces xml db, see #222104:39
jdubwhat are you changing?04:49

sivangjdub : I also enabled debugging mode for the backend,04:53
sivangjdub : so it won't trash my system's iface file and allow me to see errors.04:53
sivangjdub : there was a debug flag commented on network-conf.in , I used it04:53
sivangjdub : I'm headed to bed (4:45 am my time :) you can leave here comments if you have any idea ;) I'd appriciate it.04:55

Mithrandirmdz: nvidia; approval wanted.10:25
mdzMithrandir: has someone looked over it?10:25
mdzand have you done the regression test on the i386 packages that we discussed?10:25
Mithrandirmdz: fabbione thinks the nvidia part of it looks good; I've done a debdiff on i386, but I don't have any i386 with ubuntu at home10:26
mdzdebdiff should be sufficient10:26
Mithrandir(debdiff on the binary packages, that is)10:26
mdzif you would unpack it and checksum all the files, too, I wouldn't be opposed to that :-)10:26
mdzthat debian/rules seemed a bit clumsy10:27
mdz(the original one)10:27
mdzdid you clean it up, or add an amd64-specific mess? :-)10:27
Mithrandirsomewhere in between -- I abstracted stuff a little, but I don't want to possibly destabilize the package this close to release.10:27
MithrandirI can unpack the packages and checksum, sure.10:28
Mithrandirhttp://err.no/patches/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.8.1.2-3_2.6.8.1.3-1.amd64.diff is the diff10:29
Mithrandirmdz: if you could look at it, test it on i386 and do whatever other magic you want to do, it would be most appreciated; I'll checksum it on i386.  If that matches, is it ok to upload?10:34
=== Mithrandir wanders off for breakfast and will look at the answer when he comes back

ccsay, glibc has been "updated" to allow the time within gnome to be updated fixing gnome bug #19197 - can that make it before release?11:13
cchttps://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133481 is the bug thats fixed in Fedora, but still around in Ubuntu (just tested)11:14
danielsmdz: ^^ looks like a reasonably non-intrusive patch to me11:18
ccdaniels: it is, and makes the UI more usable11:19
ccalso, how comfortable are ya'all if i link to RH bugzilla stuff in Ubuntu bugzilla?11:19
danielscc: as in, 'check out this Ubuntu bug', or intimate BZ linking?11:20
ccdaniels: no as in I'll file an RFE or bugreport in Ubuntu, link to a RH bz entry where the "fix" is, and hope ya'all integrate it :)11:21

danielspick the right severity, that's all you need11:25

pitti_jdub: here?11:40
jdubpitti: pong11:41
mdzdaniels: I don't see a patch there..the description in RH bugzilla sounds fairly straightforward, but to be honest, I think that touching glibc right now, for a feature, would be in very bad taste12:17
sabdflanybody able to help with a question on python packages?12:19
Mithrandirsabdfl: shoot.12:19
danielsmdz: s/patch/change/12:19
danielsmdz: fair enough12:19
sabdfli have a directory call vocabulary12:19
sabdflinside that an __init__.py12:19
sabdflwhich imports * from two other files, call them foo and bar12:20
sabdflnow, in another file, i want to import * from foo but I don't want to trigger the import of bar12:20
sabdflbecause of circular imports12:20
sabdflbut when I do: vocabilary.foo12:20
mdzwasn't this just discussed on the launchpad list?12:21
sabdflsorry12:21
sabdflcould be12:21
sabdflwhen i do from vocablary.foo import * it seems to import bar as well12:21
mdzfoo imports bar?12:22
sabdflno12:24
sabdflfoo and bar are independent12:24
sabdflit's the __init__.py that binds them together12:25
mdzand when you import vocabulary.foo, it evaluates __init__.py?12:25
sabdflappears to12:26
sabdfl>>> import canonical.launchpad.database12:26
sabdfl--Return--12:26

Mithrandirsabdfl: having __init__.py being __all__ = ['foo', 'bar' ] 12:26

sabdfl-> Pdb().set_trace()12:27
sabdfl(Pdb)12:27
sabdflMithrandir: but I want to populate the __init__.py namespace with the contents of both foo and bar12:27
sabdfli want to refer to these things as canonical.launchpad.vocabulary.XYZ12:28
sabdflwhenre XYZ could be in foo or bar12:28
mdzthis would seem to only be a problem because foo and bar are under 'vocabulary'; could they not be in an adjacent module rather than in the same one?12:28
sabdflthat's why i have "from canonical.launchpad.vocabulary.foo import *" in __init__.py12:29
sabdflhmm... could be12:29
sabdfli could maybe create a vocabulary.py which imported them from adjacent files12:30
mdzyes, or that12:30
sabdfldoes every directory in the module tree need to have an __init__.py?12:31
mdzno12:31
sabdflok12:32
sabdfllet me play with that idea12:32

=== maskie [~maskie@196-30-110-210.uudial.uunet.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzhmm, actually they do need a __init__.py if they have .py files in them, rather than extension modules and the like12:36
mdzbut it can be empty12:36
sabdflok12:37
sabdfljust ran into that problem :-)12:37
sabdflwhadyaknow12:37
sabdflthanks mdz, Mithrandir12:37
mdzI was still technically correct, since the top-level directory doesn't need a __init__.py :-)12:38
sabdflwell, then you were correct both times, slightly differently12:39
mdzI get the feeling that I should be asleep12:40
mdznight12:40
sabdflnight mdz12:57
hazmatbtw. i pointed out an important bug in sqlos txn integration the other day, svn should be updated.01:00
hazmattxn aborts could lead to data corruption on subsequent commits01:00
Mithrandirmdz: the checksums don't line up, but that seems to be due to timestamps for .a files and hardcoding of paths in kernel objects.01:53
dokomdz: still there? what about the template translations for the installer packages?02:09
