danielselmo: can you please let me know how many packages build-depend on: xlibs, xlibs-dev, xlibs-static-pic04:29
fabbionemorning guys05:02
fabbionedaniels: why do we need to know? ;)05:03
fabbionedaniels: in one way or another even the kernel build-dep on them :P05:03
danielsheh05:09
danielsfabbione: well, when we get the xorg stuff in, i'd like to start busting up build-deps05:10
danielsi'd be happy for xlibs/xlibs-dev to not exist05:10
fabbionedaniels: i think we can create a meta package for it05:11
fabbionethat was my idea at least05:11
fabbionefor the beginning it would be acceptable05:11
fabbioneand give people a few weeks to do the transition05:12
fabbionei want to kill Xfree86 in one shot05:12
fabbioneno double packages 05:12
danielsyeah, dude, I already have a set of metapackages :)05:13
fabbioneno you have nothing :P05:14
danielsi bootstrapped xlibs (with full debian packaging) on to my laptop yesterday05:14
danielsii  libx11-6                       6.2.1+cvs.200408040713-0ubuntu X Window System protocol client library05:14
danielsonly took about two hours -- some stuff is still a little broken due to the fact /usr/lib/X11 is no longer a symlink05:14
danielsbut yeah, it's all good otherwise05:14
fabbioneeheh05:15
fabbioneok new X seems to be all good05:17
fabbionedaniels: but did you bootstrap each lib onm theirown?05:18
fabbioneor just xc/lib in one shot?05:18
danielsfabbione: each on their own05:18
danielsfabbione: started with x-common, then just ran check/build/install through all the packages05:19
fabbionesimilar to the approach i used...05:19
fabbionesounds like at least05:19
danielsanyway, end result is that everything's all good, except for xterm05:20
danielsit's probably the app-defaults link that's broken05:20
fabbionedaniels: i started drafting a plan for the 2 weeks05:21
fabbionewe have 2 fronts that we need to fight05:21
fabbioneone is the xresprobe/autoconfig stuff05:21
jdub1. Who will order the pizza?05:21
danielsME!05:21
jdub2. Will Daniel be allowed to sleep inside the house?05:21
fabbioneone is beating upstream with a cluebat and kill it into the many deb packages05:21
danielsjdub: (hotel)05:21
danielsfabbione: dude, you missed the confcall on Friday05:22
danielsfabbione: despite almost sending me to sleep, I got useful stuff done on it05:22
fabbionejdub: no my house isn't a house yet... it's a building site05:22
danielsfabbione: i got 'big big vendor merge' on the agenda for x11r705:22
fabbionedaniels: i don't care to talk with X.org "prime donne"05:22
danielsheh, most of them aren't prima donnas05:23
fabbionedaniels: (first women)05:23
danielsthey just like to argue semantics for a long time05:23
danielsbut that aside, it was very useful, and yeah, so if we start collecting all our patches, making notes on them and stuff, we can empty our debian/patches into upstream05:23
jdubpouring patches on the fire :)05:24
danielsanyway, I have to run out the door now05:24
danielsactually, ten minutes ago05:24
danielsbut nevermind05:24
danielsi'll talk to you about this later05:24
danielsunless you really want to call me ;)05:24
fabbionedaniels: no no.. i will have to suffer your ugly face for 2 weeks here :P05:25

pittiGood morning everybody! So quiet today here...10:17
pittiKeybuk: I have a small packaging problem: hal 0.2.98 shipped a conffile, but hal 0.4 does not ship it any more; unfortunately dpkg does not delete the conffile on package upgrade, even if it is unmodified10:25
pittiKeybuk: is there a recommended way to remove it in the maintainer scripts?10:25
Keybukdpkg should delete the conf file ?10:26
Keybukunless it was never registered with dpkg10:26
pittiWhy not, if it's unmodified?10:26
pittino, the old deb ships it and it was in debian/conffiles10:26
pittiSince I don't want to change dpkg, is there a "best practice" how to handle this?10:27
pittiKeybuk: I thought about providing a md5sum list and delete the file in the preinst if one md5sum matches10:27
pittiKeybuk: similar to ucf10:27
KeybukI mean that dpkg *should* delete the conffile, so why isn't it?10:27
pittioh, I don't know10:27
pittiI tried that out yesterday, with a modified conffile and an unmodified10:28
Keybukcan you throw me both packages10:28
pittiyou already have hal 0.2.9810:28
Keybukyeah, but I need to uninstall/reinstall a bit so it's good to have the .deb standing by without having to hunt for it :p10:28
pittiI send you a link to hal-0.4 when it's ready10:28
pittiokay, I put the old deb to the same place10:29

pittiKeybuk: for upgrading to hal 0.4.0 you need libhal-storage0 deb10:40
Keybukright10:41
pittiKeybuk: the conffile in question is /etc/hal/device.d/fstab-update.hal10:41
pittiKeybuk: the old hal installs it as example file, but I want to get rid of it (we have pmount)10:41
Keybukahh, lftp, how we love thee ... mget *.deb :p10:41
Keybukso I install the single 0.2.98 deb, and upgrade by installing the others?10:42
jdubargh10:42
jdubforgot how loud my ibook was10:42
Keybukjdub: bong!10:42
=== jdub is doing a ppc install
pittiKeybuk: yes, but you need only libhal-storage10:42
pittiKeybuk: not all the other debs10:42
pittiKeybuk: the problem is that above conffile is not shipped by hal 0.4.0 any more, so it should disappear10:43
Keybukok, well in 0.2.98 it's in the package and listed as a conffile10:43
pittiand I guess you did not modify it10:43

sivangpitti : Well, I fired up a gnome-termina.03:28

mjg59Keybuk: The two issues here are:07:21
pittimdz: it's not a simple yes/no boolean, but the string can have various values07:22
mjg591) The wakeup address being stored as a virutal address rather than a physical one07:22
mdzah, I see07:22
mdzso not only the name, but the semantics changed07:22
mjg592) The GDT not being addressable from real mode07:22
sivangseb128 : you know anyway to make yelp like, "refresh" the xml page it's looking at?07:22
Keybukthose both sound likely candidates07:22
sivang(instead of killing it and starting it with the updated versino)07:22
pittimdz: I think the patch itself is uncritical, but the new feature has not been tested07:22
pittimdz: it works fine for me, but if 100 other people use it, it might reveal serious problems07:23
mdzpitti: ok, understood07:23
seb128sivang: no07:23
mdzI thought from your comments that it was only a name change07:23
pittimdz: e. g. Debian package has another patch that disables mounting at startup if the user disabled automounting at all07:23
pittimdz: it's a change like filesystem=true to usage="filesystem"07:24
mdzright07:24
pittimdz: people who really want it can still get it from my unofficial repo...07:24

Keybukmjg59: I'm assuming that 'echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep' doesn't return until the machine is awake?07:56
mjg59Keybuk: Correct07:56
mjg59Unless the sleep fails07:57
Keybukok, I have a little shell script that does that, and immediately after writes a file and calls sync a few times07:57
Keybukthe sleep works fine, it's resume that's unwilly07:57
Keybukuh, unwilling07:57
mjg59Yeah. It's almost certainly the suspend code that's broken, though.07:57
mjg59Hmm. So no significant difference between that code and previous attempts?07:58
