infinityI'd rather see a "patch to make Replaces work the way it intuitively should" before anything dealing with :"teaching people what Conflicts means". :)12:01
infinity(ie: if I install B, then A, and B replaces A, the file overlaps should select the file from B, not A)12:02
seb128if B replaces A and you install B first and the A you get a file conflict12:03
KeybukI think what infinity is trying to describe is the fact that dpkg doesn't back-depend12:04
KeybukA depends B > 2.012:04
Keybukinstall A and B 2.012:04
Keybukinstall B 1.012:04
Keybukworks12:04
seb128hum ? no, doesn't work12:04
Keybuksure it does12:04
Keybuktry it :p12:05
lamont_rseb128: mind you, it _shouldn't_...12:05
seb128I mean with apt it doesn't work :)12:05
seb128I've not tried with dpkg, but I believe you :p12:05
Keybukdunno about APT, that's mdz's toy12:05
Keybukbut dpkg will let you do that12:05
Keybukbecause it only considers the dependencies of the packages you've given it to process12:06
infinityKeybuk : No, I'm talking actual replaces.12:06
Keybukit doesn't go through the system and check that previously-installed packages' dependencies aren't broken12:06
Keybukinfinity: it's the same bug12:06
Keybukwhen you install A, it doesn't go through the system to see if anything Replaces it.12:06
infinityAhh, yeah.12:06
infinitySame bug probably, then. :)12:06
shayaKeybuk: so you're saying dpkg needs apt's dependency handeling logic12:07
Keybukshaya: no idea whether apt's works or not12:07
infinityI first noticed it when I used to run Woody systems with the "dselect" package installed from an old sid snapshot.12:07
infinityIf you reinstalled dpkg.deb, it would overwrite /usr/bin/dselect, despite 'dselect' replacing 'dpkg'.12:08
Keybukyup12:08
infinity(Which was irritating, because the newer dselect sucked a lot less)12:08

MithrandirUTC+1, so it's 00:10 here now.12:11

shayaKeybuk: I'm an imperialistic washington, DC native, so hence 6 hours ahead (as DC is the center of the world, or so they brainw, I mean taught us as kids)12:13
Keybukwith such geography, it's amazing the Merkins get *anywhere*12:13
Mithrandirshaya: giving relative time references based on anything else than UTC gives people headaches. :)12:14
shayaMithrandir: but they taught us that EST was the real universal time :)12:14
Keybukthe Earth is a *spheroid* ... the centre is roughly the same distance from everywhere in a downward direction12:14
MithrandirKeybuk: give or take a few clicks, yes. :)12:15
Keybukyou can only be "the centre of the world" if you're in a notably crackful, but rather fun, blockbuster of a few years ago12:15

shayainteresthing thing I've noticed.  If you do set a root password, many things that ask you for a root password don't take it, but want your user password (ala sudo)04:37
shayai know why you do sudo, but it seems once a root password is set all those things are buggy, as they do ask for the root password04:37
shayafor example, run aptitude as a regular user, it asks for the "root" password04:38
jdubthat's unrelated to whether you have a root password set or not04:40
jdubwe just didn't bother fixing it to use sudo04:41

sjoerdmorning09:24
sjoerdpitti: could you check the new device-removable.sh script to see if i haven't done anything stupid09:24
pittiHi sjoerd 09:25
pittiyes, I can09:25
pittiFrom a quick glance it seems that you do something similar as pmount09:25
pittisjoerd: do you have the file at hand somewhere?09:25
sjoerdno svn checkout ?09:25
pittisjoerd: svn checkout lasts so long...09:26
pittisjoerd: okay, I'll check it out09:26
sjoerd:)09:26
sjoerdalioth is somewhat overloaded it seems....09:27
pittisjoerd: debian/patches looks nice again :-)09:27
pittisjoerd: and I suppose with your merges the Ubuntu version shouldn't look much worse09:27
sjoerdyou mean in gvm ? there were no changes in hal's debian/patches09:28
pittino, I actually meant hal09:31
pittiUbuntu's debian/patches in hal is pretty crowded now09:31
sjoerdah right09:31
pittiI looked at the script, but it is too complex for me to be able to say yes or no after two minutes :-)09:31
sjoerdyou have somewhat more time 09:32
pittiI will scrutinize it more thoroughly after I fixed samba09:32
sjoerdk09:32
sjoerdjust want to be sure that stupid things are out of it before i sent it to md09:32
sjoerdmy shell programming skills suck09:32
pittibtw, do you publish the orig.tar.gz tarballs somewhere?09:33
pittifor PostgreSQL I just put them into the top repository directory09:33
sjoerdpitti: why did you put ubuntu-storage-policy.fdi in /etc instead patching the one in /usr/share 09:33
sjoerdwithout tarball.mk it's just the upstream tarball09:34
pittisjoerd: because I want the users actually be able to customize it09:34
pittisjoerd: changes in /usr/share are lost on next upgrade09:34
sjoerdok, but the can always put something like this in /etc 09:35
pittisjoerd: and I think it is nicer to give users something to change, instead of urging them to write a conffile from scratch09:35
sjoerdso it's more an example 09:35
sjoerdk, good point09:35
pittisjoerd: hmm, I don't insist on my solution09:35
pittisjoerd: if you want to adopt the change for Debian as well, I don't need the etc file any more09:35
pittisjoerd: if you want to keep 2GB, fine for m09:35
pittime09:35
sjoerdi was gonna put an example in /etc anyway, to show how people can indicate that gvm shouldn't automount certain drives09:36
pittisjoerd: but at least you need the patch to set correct values for the flags09:36
sjoerdyeah09:37
sjoerddidn't check the differences yet (except for the 1gb and 2gb difference)09:37
=== sjoerd couldn't care less if it's 1 or 2 gb
pittisjoerd: the key difference is that the original fdi only sets sync to true if < 2 GB09:38
pittisjoerd: but that is pmount's default anyway; you need to set sync to false explicitly09:38
pittisjoerd: same for noatime09:38
sjoerdah09:39
sjoerdi can patch the system fdi for the rigth flags.. and also put this commented out in a preferences.fdi09:40
sjoerdjust to show how to easily do it09:40
=== lamont_r [~lamont@c-24-6-251-226.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sjoerdi was planning to do that for the automount hint anyway09:40
pittisjoerd: this would be nice09:40
pittisjoerd: then I could revert the Ubuntu patch09:41
sjoerdyeah and we can still change the default easily, as it's in /usr/share09:41
sjoerdoh cool.. kay send a patch to let udev handle all the hotplug stuff09:42
pittisjoerd: i. e. the unmounting?09:51
sjoerduhm no, what /sbin/hotplug now does.. but then done by udev09:52
sjoerdwhich gives you better serialisation among other things09:52
pittisjoerd: oh, everything? Including module loading, file parsing etc.09:52
pittisjoerd: hmm, this essentially means to merge the udev and hotplug sources, I suppose09:53
pittisjoerd: but it certainly looks nicer to have one less item in the chain09:53
sjoerdudev did already the same thing for the most part09:53
pittisjoerd: udev did not load modules AFAIK09:53
pittihowever, sounds nice09:54
pittiI hope that all the upstream and Debian maintainers agree on this09:54
sjoerdshould fix some races here and there09:55
sjoerddunno, it makes more sense that way.. so i think it's hard for the debian people not to agree09:56
pittifrom the technical perspective they surely agree, but the hotplug maintainer will lose his baby... :-)10:01

pitti_rene_: this would be nice11:44
pitti_rene_: conflicting to older and newer versions should basically do the same as a Depends to a particular version11:45

mvo__elmo: arggggss, that's a lot. how often in debian? how often (roughtly) in warty?12:12
elmomvo: debian is once a day12:12
elmowarty, I dunno, it's no 48, but it's a lot, I'd WAG at 20+12:13
elmoerr, not warty, hoary12:13

Kamionseb128: at least merging the changelog would be good so that we can tell that without looking at the bug, then02:59
Kamionthere are benefits to being able to determine this sort of thing automatically02:59
Kamionstatistics over the whole distribution, etc.02:59
seb128statistics ?02:59
Kamionhow many packages are completely merged with Debian03:00
seb128Keybuk said it's not needed yesterday03:00
KamionI shall have to talk with Keybuk when he arrives, then03:00
seb128Kamion: in we want to merge the package it'll take ... say 1 hour, there is 5-6 patch to add to the debian package ... to get nothing out of the fact to be based on the debian package03:00
seb128that's wasting 1 hour imho03:01
Kamionwhy does it take so long if everything in the Ubuntu package is in the Debian one?03:01
Kamionsorry, other way round I mean03:01
KamionIMO if you don't want to do it you should leave the bug open, but *shrug*03:01
Kamionremember that this sort of thing is going to provide vital clues to Malone in the future03:01
Kamionit is not a no-op03:02
seb128but there is no point to let it open, we don't need anything from the debian package03:02
Kamionyou need the changelog so that Malone can have a clue how the versions interrelate03:02
seb128why does it take time ? Because apt-get source the debian package, start adding ubuntu patches, review the diff to extra stuff not added in debian/patches but directly changed, build, test ...03:02
seb128easy to spend 20min (1hour is perhaps too much yes)03:03
KamionI realise that it's essentially just bookkeeping, but this sort of bookkeeping is going to keep us sane in the future03:03
Kamionif you don't want to merge the packaging but just the changelogs, that's fine by me03:04

Mithrandirdaniels: moo?03:04

seb128Kamion: still time to merge when that will be useful ...03:05
Kamionseb128: the useful bit in the changelog is that it's the only possible reliable way to tell that one version of a package is based on any given other version03:06

Kamiontrue03:06
Kamionwell, like I say, I simply disagree with closing the bug, that's all, I'm not telling you to do it now03:07
Kamionthere are plenty of bugs in bugzilla that it's not worth fixing yet03:07
seb128I know, I'm closing it because we don't need to merge it imho03:07
seb128but let me know if I'm wrong03:07
seb128as said, I've already talked about this with Scott yesterday03:08
seb128we should have a clear line about what we want to do :)03:08
Kamionfundamentally I guess it depends whether you want to diverge GNOME forever from Debian or not03:08
seb128I've no problem with merging for bookkeeping if that's useful, I just thought it was not needed03:08
seb128Kamion: I include debian changes when they happen in fact, not need to be based on a debian version to do this03:09
Kamionfor example, if Debian applies some fix to a patch that's also in the Ubuntu package, it will be easier to tell that automatically if the packaging is similar03:09
seb128and Debian's GNOME will always be late, so I don't know when we can merge03:09
KamionI realise that you can handle it now, but we need to not be relying on the heroism of individuals :-)03:10
seb128true03:10
Kamionthe same goes for me and debian-installer, to some extent ...03:10
Kamionanyway, I'll talk to Scott03:10
seb128the main difference with GNOME is that we have 2.9 and debian 2.803:10

=== sivang [~sivang@80.179.93.130.forward.012.net.il] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Kamionoh, sure, but that doesn't mean that there won't be say a security patch that applies to both, and we could derive benefit from being able to detect that more automatically03:11
seb128GNOME packages only have patches in debian/patches03:12
seb128that should not be hard to detect automatically03:12
Kamion(actually it's harder than any other type of package right now, isn't it? I didn't think Scott's merge-o-matic knew how to handle it at all03:12
Kamion)03:12
Kamionand no, with respect, I disagree, debian/patches/ is not a panacea03:12
seb128what's the problem with debian/patches ?03:13
seb128one example: take the debian packages for gdm and figure what changes are in it with the .diff.gz, good luck ...03:13
Kamioncan Scott's merge-o-matic deal with new patches being applied in Debian that are named differently to an Ubuntu patch but that contain the same changeset?03:13
Kamionlet's not have the monolithic vs. debian/patches argument again, I'm not trying to argue that03:14
seb128good question, I don't know03:14
KamionI understand that it cannot03:14
Kamionwhich may not affect you with GNOME, but which affects everyone else03:14
seb128let's wait for Scott and talk with him about all this03:15
Kamionok03:15
Kamionif the merge-o-matic knew how to handle your type of packaging, it could probably just spit out a source package that you could upload rather than you having to merge by hand, anyway03:16
Kamionthat's what most of the other distro team people are dealing with right now.03:16

danielsmxpxpod: fixed10:39

FTTPfabbione:  right..... i understand.....10:40
fabbioneFTTP: nv or nvidia makes no difference. The driver comes from the same people10:40
fabbioneFTTP: other than 3d features10:40
mxpxpoddaniels: also, what's up with fonts on xorg... example: http://www.reigndropsfall.net/screenshots/coaster-main.png compared to http://www.reigndropsfall.net/screenshots/coaster-main-new.png10:40
fabbioneit's exactly the same crap10:40
FTTPfabbione:   ok, on the refresh rate issue10:40
fabbioneFTTP: please wait for the next X release. We have a bunch of updates for the nv driver10:41
(lifeless/#ubuntu-devel) daniels: cool10:41
FTTPfabbione:  Yep :)10:41
fabbioneiirc it includes also something DDC related10:41
danielsmxpxpod: they look nice on -new and crap on -main?10:41
fabbioneFTTP: i am talking about X.org 1ubuntu4 at least10:41
mxpxpoddaniels: they look strange on -new10:41
fabbionenot the one that come out today10:41
FTTPfabbione:  can the xfree you use tho handle the higher refresh rates where its just an X config problem?10:42
mxpxpoddaniels: I guess I'm just used to the way they look in -main10:42
fabbioneFTTP: as last thing, please add your config file and /var/log/Xorg.0.og to the bug10:42

fabbioneFTTP: driver attempts to detect rates.10:43
mxpxpoddaniels: especially when e and a are together10:43
FTTPim wondering if its just the xfree config file causing the lower rates to be used10:43
(ironwolf/#ubuntu-devel) spotter: yes *must be daniels fault*10:43

fabbioneso for ex.10:45

mxpxpodI didn't think any debian based distro would have it for years10:46
mxpxpod:)10:46
FTTPyep10:46
fabbioneb) ddc return - no config info10:46
fabbionethe driver has to trust the ddc info10:47
fabbionec) no ddc return - config info10:47
fabbionethe driver trust what you say10:47

fabbionethe driver goes bana10:47
