__danielis "bong" something good? :-)12:00
Kamion__daniel: no12:00
Kamionmdz: hoary's seeds are starting out at warty, right? so copying warty->hoary in debootstrap is safe?12:01
mdzKamion: yes12:01
mdzI don't think base has any changes proposed for hoary anyway, does it?12:01
elmothere's nothing on the wiki12:01
KamionI'm sure some will happen :)12:01
elmoactually, yeah, I'm going to propose ethtool, for base, tho I may not succeed12:02
Kamionmdz: at minimum one is necessary: libc6.1/ia6412:02
elmokamion: efi, etc. too12:02
Kamionelmo: d-i can probably install those12:03
elmoah, yeah12:03
elmotho, the world will pull in libc6.1 too :)12:03
elmochrist, even expensive AMD64 servers can't keep time right - I thought it was just cheap shitty motherboards that were the problem12:04
=== Kamion throws debootstrap_0.2.45ubuntu1 hoary's way to see what happens
elmoso, anyone, final call, on options, a), b) or c) above ?12:16
Kamionelmo: (any opinions from me withdrawn, I'd rather it worked)12:16
Kamionis somebody setting up a hoary-changes list?12:17

jdubelmo: who was first? :)12:23
jdubKamion: hrm12:24
jdubKamion: should we have a general -changes list, or a new one for each release?12:24

elmowon't we eventually be in parallel with two distros?12:25
jdubmdz: benh could really only raise PPC NPTL wrt glibc12:25
jdubelmo: more than two ;)12:25
elmowell, ubuntu distros then :P12:26
elmoI mean, like when hoary is frozen, but grumpy is syncing with sid12:26
jdubsurely updates and embargoed security go to warty-changes too?12:26
elmonot to mention warty-updates uploads, so, yeah I think we should have per-distro lists12:26
elmosecurity uploads go to u-s-a12:27
elmo(err @lists.u.c)12:27
jdubmmm, true, people won't care about warty once we're on perky, but we will12:27
=== jdub goes to create hoary-changes
mdzelmo: it's not just cheap servers; Sun machines are notorious for keeping shitty time12:28
elmowhat's hoary's version number again?12:28
jdub5.412:28
mdzor is it 5.04?12:28
jdubugh12:29
jdubhas to be 5.04 i guess12:29
mdznot as bad as "4.1" for 4.1012:29
jdubhrm, doesn't *have* to be 5.0412:29
mdzno, it doesn't12:30
mdzI just didn't remember what was decided12:30
jdubelmo: do syncs go to hoary-changes?12:31
elmothey, err, will 12:31
elmonot the mass flood i just did tho12:31
elmoand do we want sync notification for universe?  I assume not?12:31

mjg59mdz: A bit - hot whisky and a large bowl of stew01:16
sabdflhmm.. whiskey and lemon01:16
sabdflmjg59: can you map out for me how you'd like to handle it?01:17
sabdfli'm pretty much open to your lead on it01:17
mjg59sabdfl: Suspend to disk is a matter of me getting the code to do swsusp off initrd together, building some test kernels and letting people go to town01:17
sabdflok01:17
sabdflare there other things that we can do to really make it rock, that parallelise?01:18
mjg59S3 is a bit trickier. The only test hardware I have is the C3 thing, and it's not playing ball yet01:18
sabdflid like to build a volunteer team around you01:18
sabdflyou are welcome to my tosh test laptop for a month or two01:18
mjg59That might well be useful01:18
mjg59It pretty much worked01:18
=== rjb [~arjaybe@207.102.22.2] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Kopete]
mdzmjg59: I got the impression from Herbert that swsusp was ready to go once we got v2 in01:28
mdzmjg59: and that is on his list for hoary already01:28
mjg59v2 of swsusp?01:29
mjg59Eww.01:29
mjg59Really, it's bad crack.01:29
mjg59Pretty, though.01:30
mdzmjg59: I was under the impression that we had no choice01:34
mjg59For which?01:34
mdzmjg59: because earlier versions can't handle, e.g., IDE drivers being loaded as modules01:34
mdzswsusp01:35
mdzmjg59: mind creating a bugzilla account so I can CC you on this stuff? :-)01:35
mjg59http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.brisset/initrd-swsusp/ for instance01:35
mdzhttps://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=200301:35
mjg59I'm pretty sure there's more recent versions of this code floating about01:35
mdzif there's a better way, Herbert needs to know about it now01:36
mjg59SuSE certainly won't be shipping swsusp2, given that they've got Pavel01:36
bob2does the swsusp merge in 2.6.9 mean it's supposed to work outside i386 now?01:37
mjg59bob2: Not quite as yet01:37
mjg59Benh had code for PPC. I'm not sure if it's done yet.01:37
bob2most of the ppc effort seems to have been on pmdisk.01:38

makohornbeck: i wanted to know if there was any summary of the documentation meeting?05:02
aswhornbeck: what do you think about http://www.phptr.com/title/0130327654 It's part of Bruce Perens' Open Source series.  http://www.phptr.com/series/series.asp?ser=33549405:05
aswhornbeck: It would be very cool to have an Ubuntu book in that series.  What do other people think? (I'm replying to your message in ubuntu-doc) 05:06
hornbeckmako: what doc meeting?05:09
hornbeckasw: that loooks pretty good05:10
hornbeckmako: nevermind, I remember now :-)05:10
hornbeckI think so let me check05:11
hornbeckmako: are you on the -devel list?05:11
hornbeckmako: enrico, did a write up of the meeting05:12
hornbeckI can forward to you if you like05:12
makohornbeck: i must have missed it05:13
makoooh.. it was probably sent late05:13
makoalright. it must have not made my 2004-10-15 traffic cutoff05:13
hornbeckyeah, the mail was on the 15th at 2:46pm05:13
aswhornbeck: I'd love to help (in whatever way I can) on any ubuntu book under a libre license.  As usual my interest is "ubuntu for scientists" but scientists just want thing ordinary users want like openoffice/evolution/mozilla also gimp/latex/texmacs 05:15
hornbeckasw: I am thinking more of a beginning type book05:15
makoi found it quite good to build up to a book length piece05:16
aswhornbeck: yeah that's what i figured but surely openoffice/evolution/mozilla are beginner apps? 05:16
hornbeckasw: I have started a outline, and will be posting it to the mailing list when I have that done.  It will hopefully be under a decent license, but this being my first attempt at a book, I think just getting to chapter one will be good for right now05:17
hornbeckasw: I was thinking, 1. Intro to Linux, 2. Installing Ubuntu, 3. The Gnome Desktop, 4. Useful apps, 5. package management, 6. the command line05:18
hornbecksomething along that05:18
hornbeckcommand line before package management05:18
aswhornbeck: sure... I guess licenses are something that people can really fight about after the fact (don't start a company without a share-holder agreement) so it's nice to make sure about it in advance.   Yeah I admin some boxes for my room-mates and I'd love to give them a copy. =^)  Also my parents. 05:19
aswps. My thesis proposal went out today. This time next week this part will be all done.  I'm a little terrified really.  Everybody on that committee is about a billion times smarter than me. 05:20
hornbeckasw: you will do fine05:20
hornbeckasw: I don't know how much to demand right from the get go, considering I have to go through a whole proposal first05:20
aswhornbeck: i was trolling so thanks for indulging me! 05:20
hornbeckno prob05:21
aswhornbeck: if you plan to publish the book I think it's a good idea to have a "target" publisher and then some "alternates"... 05:21
hornbeckasw: My first choice is Oreilly, than I would consider no starch and a few others05:22
aswhornbeck: and I would venture a guess that if you promise to use a libre license from beginning you'll get more help with proof-reading, and maybe some direct contributions of text.  05:22
hornbeckbut Oreilly is the one people look to for good books05:22
hornbeckasw: yeah, I would guess so05:23
aswhornbeck: looks to me that "no starch" is distributed by Oreilly so they might as well be the same company. (That's just from a glance at the web-pages...) 05:29
hornbeckasw: no starch is distributed by oreilly but is not the same company05:33

fabbionehey mdz06:56
fabbioneis there any more outcome from the meeting that i should be aware of?06:56
fabbionebtw we could have called the new mailing list ubuntu-changes directly ;)06:57
mdzfabbione: not really, I am still processing the notes to update the wiki06:57
fabbioneok06:57
mdzfabbione: there was a short discussion about it in this channel between (I think) jdub and elmo06:57
mdzand they decided on hoary-changes06:57
fabbioneok06:58
fabbionewe also need to be sure that python is fully installed before X.org06:58
fabbionewe will have to change base-config for that06:58
fabbioneand i will have to pre-depends on it06:59
fabbionedoes a python debconf interface exists?06:59
mdzfabbione: I do not think so07:00
mdzbut it would be simple to write one07:00
fabbioneif it doesn't exist it will kinda difficult for me to switch the scripts07:01
fabbionei don't have the knowledge to write an interface at that level07:01
mdzit may be simpler than you think; look at /usr/share/debconf/confmodule sometime07:02
mdzbut someone else could do it also07:02
mdzdo you need it today?07:02
aswmdz: I'm sasha (I don't remember if I introduced myself previously.) Curious, are you the M. Zimmerman of EFF (staff attorney?)  That just seems odd... 07:02

skvidalI was wondering if 1. anyone else could remember where I might have read that and 2. if there is any movement in that direction07:07
mdzskvidal: it's not on the schedule for the next 6 months, but that doesn't mean it won't happen07:20
mdzI think wichert akkerman is working on something like that07:20
skvidalmdz: hmm, okay, I'm just kinda curious in the prospect of that07:21
mdzor was07:21
mdzskvidal: I think it depends on having libdpkg, which doesn't itself exist yet07:21

srbaker_and besides, if you want debian developers, there are probably 600 that are smarter than me that you haven't hired yet.07:23

makomdz: i didn't get to the kick off summary today.. i did 3 of them and thought it was about enough for the day :)07:46
fabbionemdz: the problem is the time07:46
fabbione16:00 UTC is really bad for me07:46
fabbioneand now it seems to be a standard07:46
mdzthat's because when I asked everyone for times, that was the middle ground07:46
fabbioneyeah and that's ok when there is a meeting once in a while07:47
mdzif you would like to ask everyone again, and find a time which works better for you, we could discuss changing it07:47
fabbionenow we are up to 2 meetings per week every 2 weeks07:47

fabbionemako: right07:48
mdzmako: the hoary kickoff summary will be to the CC summary as this month's traffic is to July's traffic07:48
makomdz: i cut out like 600 lines and moved into a linked summary07:49
makothe art summary was larger than the first 3 traffics combined, at least :)07:49
makoWTs, not UTs07:50
makowell, actually, maybe UTs too07:50
makofabbione: well, these conversations can happen before and after the meetings07:50
makofabbione: i guess we don't really have a procedure for participating in a meeting before a meeting short of making notes or adding thigns to the wiki07:51
makobut i think that's a nice thought since clearly we've got people in places for which that time is convinient07:51

aswsrbaker_ : it's taken me a really long time to get used to the idea of "small clean changesets" and I'm still not sure I'm used to it.  the other parts of arch are ultimately less of an issue imho than wrapping your head around the idea of a growing "frontier" of releases at each arch archive rather than a central repository.08:36

pittirobtaylor: but for me it does not work with the live cd12:09
robtaylorpitti: oh cool :)12:09
robtaylorpitti: ah. well 1st off its a fdifferent kernel, isnt it?12:10
=== robtaylor notes that /proc/version tell me it was built by alextreme
pittirobtaylor: yes, IIRC the live CD uses 2.6.7, install uses 2.6.8.112:10
pittirobtaylor: does the hotplug stuff work for you?12:10
robtaylorpitti: ok, and are there many ubuntu-specific patches?12:11
pittirobtaylor: a shipload12:11
robtaylorpitti: usb keys are recognised, but onlu work if partioned12:11
robtaylorpitti: pcmcia drives dont get picked up12:11
pittirobtaylor: hmm, at least something :-)12:11
pittirobtaylor: does it work in an installed version?12:11
robtaylorpitti: and even strangely, my ext3-formatted pccard drive was mounted vfat!12:12
robtaylorpitti: unfortuanltly i dont have a machine i can install ubuntu on to test that :/12:12
pittirobtaylor: really? that should not work, the kernel should reject that...12:12
pittirobtaylor: sure that it is ext3?12:12
pittirobtaylor: the kernel cannot mount an ext3 drive as vfat12:12
robtaylorpitti: yep, mount -t ext3 workd12:12
pittirobtaylor: and mount -t vfat works as well?12:13
robtaylorbut unforced mount mounts it as vfat.. very very broken12:13
robtaylorhavn't tried mount -t vfat12:13
pittirobtaylor: can you please summarize that in a bug report? and give all infos you have about this?12:13
robtaylorpitti: sure, where's the bug database?12:14
pittirobtaylor: I currently have 5 security bugs to deal with, not really time for hotplug stuff now...12:14
robtaylorpitti: i can work on this myself, btw12:14
pittirobtaylor: bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org12:14
pittirobtaylor: thanks!12:14
robtaylorpitti: i guess i'll start witch makeing sure the kernels are as similar as possible..12:14
pittirobtaylor: neither of these errors should depend on the particular kernel versin12:15
pittirobtaylor: version, even12:15
robtaylorwell the vfat thing is definitly kernel-bound12:15
pittirobtaylor: it is12:15
pittirobtaylor: of course it is possible that this bug was fixed in 2.6.812:15
pittirobtaylor: I've never tried that :-)12:15
robtaylorbut yeah the other two are user space12:16
robtaylorwhat do you use to manage user-space mounting?12:16
pittirobtaylor: pmount12:17
pittirobtaylor: pmount allows normal users to mount drives which are not in fstab12:17
robtaylorright12:17
robtaylorand what manages the appearance of drives in the 'Disks' window?12:17
pittirobtaylor: hal is the database which knows about hotpluggable devices12:17
pittirobtaylor: and gnome-volume-manager connects these two: receives hotplug events from hal, calls pmount to mount12:17
robtaylorright, sounds sane12:18
pittirobtaylor: nautilus is responsible for actually showing the drive icons and windows12:18
pittirobtaylor: the advantage is that only the relatively small pmount program needs to run as root12:18
pittirabidbt: and only for a short time (as opposed to the g-v-m and hal daemons)12:18
robtaylorhanfg on, but on my test, sda1 was only attempetd to be mounted when i clicked on it in the Disks window...12:19
robtaylorso gvm is doing something to make it appear for nautilus, but isnt actually mounting it12:21
pittirobtaylor: it really was not mounted?12:27
pittirobtaylor: if it appears in the discs window, it should be mounted12:27
robtaylorpitti: hmm12:27
pittirobtaylor: may it be possible that just no nautilus window popped up?12:27
robtaylorpitti: sda1 appears in the Disks window when i insert an unpartioned usb key12:27

pittirobtaylor: this is really odd12:50

robtaylorpitti: yep, sda1 is in Disks, hal claims that the only usb devices it knows about are hubs12:51
robtaylorpitti: and the key is definitly plugged in, and manually mountable12:52
pittirobtaylor: I never really dealt with the live CD (just tried whether it boots), but something seems to be _severely_ broken on it12:52
pittirobtaylor: you mean the stick is contained in /etc/fstab?12:52
robtaylorcarlos:yep :) i'll try and save up a spair couple of days holiday :)12:52
robtaylorpitti: no, yes, maybe=).. fstab has /dev/sda1. 12:53
pittirobtaylor: THAT is the error12:53
pittirobtaylor: it shouldn't be there for our tools to work12:53
robtaylorpitti: ahhhhh12:53
pittirobtaylor: of course, if /dev/sda1 is in fstab, you can "mount" it12:54
robtaylorits morphix's auto fstab stuff clashing with your pmount stuff12:54

=== sivang hugs pitti
robtaylorpitti: no, /dev/sda1 is12:55
pittiHi sivang12:55
pittirobtaylor: okay, but this should not interfere with automounting of /dev/sda12:56
pittirobtaylor: it could just be that the partition table of the stick is somehow brokeb12:56
pittirobtaylor: broken12:56
robtaylorpitti: there's quite a lot in fstab, generated by morphix12:57
robtaylorpitti: i tod you, its unpartiond.. partioned keys work fine12:57

lamontthen again, maybe I'll keep my european-wall-wart for the netgear, and just bring that with me.02:06
robtaylorlamont: what was the reason for that design decision? (i ask as I'm planning on making a kenel with the morphix patches and the ubuntu patches..)02:06
KeybukI still like the World Electric Guide's snide comment about UK power02:06
Keybuk"Although /officially/ 230V ..."02:06
danielsKeybuk: yeah, we're officially 230, but it's often stated as 24002:07
elmoaren't we 240 ?02:07
danielseither is within tolerance02:07
Keybukelmo: mostly 240V02:07
Keybukbut the officialdom says 230 to "be inline with Europe"02:07
robtaylorahh02:07
jdubrburton: ping02:07
Keybuk240V is in allowed tolerances, so the fact that UK power isn't really 230 isn't *that* important02:07
lamontrobtaylor: livecd uses a funky overlay technique to do some things - patches available for 2.6.7, but not 2.6.8*, being worked on for 2.6.902:07
Keybukthough 250V (which it can spike to) isn't <g>  but we don't talk about that02:07
robtaylorlamont: ahh, umm, stiinky02:08
lamontso liveCD is 2.6.7+morphix patches, install CD is 2.6.8.1 + ubuntu patches.  Hoary will be 2.6.x + morphix/ubuntu patches02:08

jdublamont: i wondered if cachefs could fill the role of morphix's overlay crack02:09
robtaylorlamont: morphix kernel?! gah!02:09
jdubrburton: you on jabber?02:09
rburtonjdub: aye02:09

=== robtaylor shudders
lamontjdub: dunno yet, but we need something more designed and less crackful02:10
robtaylorjdub: the basic idea isnt too crackful, i dont think02:10
jdublamont: i have the sneaking suspicion that cachefs will help here02:11
jdubrburton: (you're not listed as online - did you get those messages?)02:12
rburtonhm, nope02:12
lamontjdub: cool - we'll have to look at that for the merge02:12

Kamionthat seems to work not too badly (provided you've already done debconf-updatepo in choose-mirror-1.06ubuntu102:23
Kamion)02:23
Kamionyou need the -C <po-from-warty> otherwise it assumes that all the warty-branded translations are obsolete02:25

jdubpitti: both approved02:48
pittijdub: thx02:48
pittijdub: is the version number okay?02:48
pittijdub: it's a bit odd, by now we only have an non-approved standard to version security uploads02:48
pittijdub: 0.14.1-2ubuntu0.102:49
azeemthe url to the patches on http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/patches is broken02:49
jdubpitti: hrm, seems fine to me, but mdz may have other opinions02:49
azeemon a related matter, 'When Ubuntu developers fix bugs that are also present in external packages - from other distributions or from upstream - we make that patch available on our web site' does not apply to enhancements, only bugs, right?02:50
jdubpitti: more of a q for mdz :)02:50
pittijdub: okay; he must approve the uploads anyway, once they are uploaded to the queue02:50
jdubazeem: should generally be both, but it's been pretty hectic during the release02:50
jdubazeem: a lot of those will fall out during our big merge02:50
jdubazeem: also, some features are just not upstreamable02:50
azeemsure, okie02:51
pittielmo: are uploads to warty-security automatically synced to hoary if hoary's version is lower? If so, I could close the relevant bugs, otherwise I must leave them open02:53
elmopitti: no, they're not02:57
pittielmo: okay thanks. It really gets time for a proper bug tracking system which tracks versions...02:57
robtaylorwhere can i find the ubuntu kernel patches?02:59
robtayloris anyone working on 2.6.9 yet?02:59
KamionKeybuk: merged debootstrap and choose-mirror, you can take those off your list03:12
KamionKeybuk: am I OK to go through and start merging d-i packages with .po file updates? I think I've got the hang of doing that now03:12
Keybuksure03:15
Kamioncool03:15
KamionI'm trying to gradually automate as I grow to understand it03:16
Keybukas you understand how to automate, let me know :)03:16
KeybukChangeLog I'm doing by basically stripping the context and turning them into 0,0 +1,x patches (stick this at the top)03:16

seb128yes03:18
fabbioneseb128: see #d-d03:18
fabbioneseb128: thanks :-)03:18
Kamiondebian/po/ is roughly: merge everything else; debconf-updatepo; copy warty, debian, hoary (so far) to separate directories; for each .po file in hoary do msgmerge -C warty/$x.po debian/$x.po hoary/$x.po > new/$x.po; fiddle about lots with corner cases03:19
Keybukouch03:19
Kamionit's better than rebranding from scratch :)03:19
Keybukoh yes03:20
Keybukwhat's the debconf-updatedo bit do?03:20
Kamionupdates debian/po/templates.pot with new source references and then updates debian/po/*.po with new source references, fuzzy markers, etc.03:21
Kamionit confuses msgmerge much less if you do this first03:22
=== daniels stares at #2759.
Kamiondebconf-updatepo is a command to run frequently on anything with debian/po/03:22
Keybukright03:22
robtayloranyone.. whats the name of the kernel image in ubuntu? act-cache show kernel-source-2.6.8 just gives me debian sources... ~(i have warty main pinned at 1 ;))03:24
seb128uploads to hoary are open ?03:24
robtaylors/image/source03:24
tsenglinux-source03:24
Kamionrobtaylor: linux-source-2.6.8.103:25
robtaylorKamion: thanks :)03:25
KamionKeybuk: of course, for packages where we haven't changed debian/po/ it's not worth bothering ...03:26
robtaylorlamont: when you get back..  on sunday Oliver released mini_fo patches for kernel>=2.6.8.103:27
KeybukKamion: I guess for ordinary po/ that msgmerge might work too?03:33
Keybukany particular reason you use warty as the compendium?03:33
Keybukand not latest-debian ?03:34
KamionKeybuk: should do03:35
KamionKeybuk: well, the primary source of new translations is latest-debian; warty is a backup03:35
Kamionthe goal is really to get us into sync with the latest translations in d-i, which are going to be superior to whatever we have03:36
Keybukright03:37
KamionI think I've understood def.po and the compendium the right way round03:37
KamionKeybuk: are you going to be doing a mass upload of merges, or what?03:37
KeybukKamion: I think the basic idea is to do the merges as automatic as possible03:38
Keybukfor any that it works, I'll upload03:38
Keybukany left will have a source package and a "lost hunks" patch file alongside03:38
Kamionok03:38
Keybukwhere the source package will be merged as automatic as possible, with anything conflicting to be resolved03:38

rburtonwhat broke so quickly?05:38
lamontrburton: we sync'ed all the unmodified packages from sid, and they're building now.05:40
rburtonoh fun05:40
lamontwhich basically means that large parts of things will quite likely be uninstallable, etc.05:41

bluefoxicyhmm.  Apt will bitch if partial/ isn't in there (no, it won't make it itself, sarge gave me that problem)08:00
Kamionyes, that's kind of annoying08:01
bluefoxicyit should be fix so that a ram based filesystem can be mounted there; I usually have 2G swap and mount 2G tmpfs (I have 768M ram)08:01
bluefoxicyfixed08:01
bluefoxicywtf, do I speak english or not08:01
Kamiondon't see why you couldn't mount a ramdisk there provided you did mkdir partial in the script that mounts it08:03
Kamionseems fairly trivial08:03
bluefoxicyyeah08:03
bluefoxicyexcept that you can't make scripts in fstab :)08:03

bluefoxicyNeed to get 230MB of archives.08:09
bluefoxicyAfter unpacking 679MB of additional disk space will be used.08:09
bluefoxicydoes the 679 include the archives?08:09
Kamiondon't think so08:09
Kamioncould be wrong, but I don't think so. check the apt source if you want to be sure08:09

mdzpitti: yes, you should11:16
mdzpitti: use the format that I used for the first two11:16
mdzsend them to ubuntu-security-announce, Bcc'd to bugtraq and full-disclosure11:16

mdzKamion: yes11:17
pittimdz: I got a password, never tried it though; should be possible11:17
mdzKamion: my current feeling is that we can be liberal with universe things which FTBFS11:17
mdzand for other things, we should have criteria very similar to main11:18
Kamionfair enough, I'll try to pick out the relevant changeset11:19
Kamionare we sending USNs for universe in the event that we do security updates?11:19
