RiddellCan anyone say what went wrong with this build?  it's got a build dep of automake1.7 but it's trying to find automake1.  http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/k/kdesdk/4:3.3.2-1ubuntu1/kdesdk_4:3.3.2-1ubuntu1_20041226-0237-i386-failed02:08
=== lamont looks
lamontRiddell: heh.  whoever uploaded it needs to fix the Build-Depends line02:10
lamont(there is no 'automake1.' package...)02:11
Riddelllamont: I protest, the Build-Deps line definatly says Build-Depends: automake1.702:14

Kamionsivang: pong02:15
lamontKamion: installing an hppa box with debian, was trying to bludgeon my way past the missing pieces of my local mirror...02:15
lamontbut finally just pointed it off-site to get the d-i its.02:15
lamontbits02:16
Kamionfair enough02:16
Kamionsivang: compare /etc/environment with /etc/locale.gen02:16
Riddelllamont: who can I ask about getting access to be able to upload packages?02:16
lamontKamion: but it's so slow it hurts. :-(02:16
lamontRiddell: tell me which package it should build-dep on, and I'll upload it02:17
KamionRiddell: get Chris Halls to recommend you02:17
lamontRiddell: and what Kamion said.02:17

lamontRiddell: how many other pieces are having issues...02:18
sivangKamion: when do you think a ubuntu installer POT files would be available in rosetta?02:19
=== lamont grumbles at 5MB source balls
RiddellKamion: very strange, that's not what I have in my kdesdk_3.3.2-1ubuntu1.diff.gz I gave to amu 02:23
lamontRiddell: 1.7, yes?>02:23
RiddellKamion: who do I get Chris Halls to recommend me to?02:23
lamontRiddell: but definitely in the archive as automake1.02:23
bob2is there a good reason for it to be bulid-dep'ing on automake at all?02:23
lamontRiddell: eventually to the technical board02:23
Kamionsivang: good question, it's somewhat on my to-do list. In the meantime there's http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/installer-po/, which has most of the first-stage interesting bits02:23
Riddelllamont: actually 1.9 may be better02:23
lamontbob2: many things are debatable.02:23
Kamionsivang: (that URL's regenerating at the moment)02:23
lamontRiddell: pick one.  I won't be able to build before I toss it at the archive...02:24
KamionRiddell: as lamont says, community council and tech board; note that our sysadmins are 1.5-out-of-2 on holiday at the moment02:24
sivangKamion: can country teams use this url to upload into rosetta?02:25
Kamionsivang: please don't do so until I give the OK02:25
KamionI don't want random translations floating about without anything coherent being done about them02:25
sivangKamion: Ok, no prob, so in the meanwhile I don't see much point in taking them at all :) I will just wait for it to be put there by you. 02:25
=== janc [~janc@D5762EAB.kabel.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Kamionat the moment the only semi-official reason that URL exists is because a third-party translation company is getting up to speed02:26
KamionI'll probably get it polished up after New Year02:26
KamionRosetta's definitely a goal for it once I'm sure it's all accurate source02:27
lamontKamion: just on the off chance you didn't know (duh) d-i at 9600-serial _SUCKS_02:27
sivangKamion: what languages are they  going to be doing? I've talked with the pro-translation cordinator on Mataro..:)02:27
Kamionsivang: dunno actually, I guess I'll find out02:28
KamionXhosa was mentioned but I think she wasn't entirely sure herself yet02:28
lamontRiddell:  you want 1.9 or 1.7?02:28
sivangKamion: Xhosa = Adi ?02:28
Riddelllamont: automake1.9 please02:30
Riddelllamont: what's wrong with 5meg sources?02:31

Riddelllamont: thanks02:35
lamontnp02:35
lamontKamion: and for the record, tftp booting the business card ISO doesn't work. :-)02:35
lamontKamion: well, it works.  But it doesn't do what I wanted. :(02:36
Kamioncan't you tftp-boot the vmlinu[xz] /initrd.gz?02:37
lamontKamion: yeah - actually went with 'boot.img' :)02:37
lamontsadly, that lacks all the pretty installer pieces, as does the local mirror. :(02:38
lamontwhat I really could have used was a way to tell d-i that /cdrom was populated, and to just get on with life.02:38
lamont(netcat and tar are your friend, you see...)02:38
Kamionthat's more the job of hd-media image types02:39
Kamionand iso-scan02:39
lamontI find that the hppa port is making a wonderful harness for testing my per-suite changes in the buildd's...02:40
lamontKamion: well, yes... it was just an idea I had before I punted.02:40
lamontKamion: ok.  now how do I change the mirror location before istalling the base system?02:43
Kamionyou didn't get choose-mirror presented to you by default?02:43
lamontyeah.  I need to change the answer02:44
lamontor the install will take until next weke02:44
Kamiongo back to the main menu and select that item02:44
lamontweek, even02:44
lamontdoh02:44
lamontand it automagically jumps back into installing the base system.  I guess that's cool02:46
Kamiondependency-driven menu :)02:46
lamontah02:46
lamontof course, the downside was that the only way I had to get back to the main menu was to yank the rug out from under the download....02:54

Kamiondebian-kernel seems to be moving towards the one-source-for-all-architectures model fairly rapidly now03:36
Kamion(of course, they always wanted to)03:36
calccool so they are helping upstream get the archs more in sync?04:09
KamionI think they always have been, just coordinating better now04:18
Kamionbut also just putting all the patches in one source package; it's not as if it's hard to #ifdef them for one architecture if necessary04:19
calcyea04:27
calcputting it all in one source will lead them to wanting to push as much as possible upstream though ;)04:27

=== Treenaks is looking for the person who did NOT insert the Dutch translation for anything into rosetta.. even when they're available already (nl.po)
sjoerdJD: what kind of loopback device ?02:15
JDsjoerd: so I put a small script on the device to mount it02:15
JDsjoerd: just a ext2 filesystem "mount -oloop /media/usbkey/secrets.loop /media/usbkeys/secrets"02:16
JDsjoerd: gvm says "do you want to run .autorun" and I say yes02:17

JDonly problem is that the device is mounted noexec :S02:17
TreenaksJD: why is that a problem?02:18
JDTreenaks: because gvm can't exec the autorun script it just asked me if I wanted to run02:18

fabbioneehheeh02:20
sjoerdJD: any reason why your using a loop device btw ?02:20
fabbionethanks! same there02:20
JDsjoerd: because windows likes to format non-fat devices?02:20
JDsjoerd: and at somepoint I might use an encrypted loopback02:20
sjoerdah02:21
sjoerdwe should start supporting encrypted filesystems on removable storage nicely rsn now02:21
JDsjoerd: so the device is fat, but it has a ext2 filesystem on it for my gpg keys and stuff02:22
JDsjoerd: that would be so lovely02:22
sjoerdso you'll get a better solution for that02:22

seb128mdz: when a guy ask if -devel is the right place to mail when a package does build, include something saying that's not when you reply :p10:48
seb128s/does/doesn't/10:48
mdzKamion: yes, absolutely we should put ubuntu-keyring in main10:48
mdzKamion: in fact it probably ought to go in base10:48
mdzseb128: but it is, until (and unless) we have a separate mailing list for MOTU10:49
seb128grumpf10:49
mdzit's certainly better than filing bugs10:50
seb128the list is about the development, isn't it ?10:50
seb128bugzilla is the right place10:50
mdzseb128: these are universe packages11:05
mdzif they're filed in bugzilla, they are ignored11:05
mxpxpodfabbione: ping11:05
mdzon -devel, there is the hope that someone will see it and care to fix it11:06
mdzthe reason I didn't say anything on the matter is that I don't have a good answer yet as to the correct place to send those reports11:06
mdzthe MOTU stuff needs some organization11:07
sivangmdz: if ubuntu universe comes from sid, maybe just use this as a call to give even more support to sid's pkgs through ubuntu?11:08
mdzsivang: what do you mean?11:08
sivangmdz: thuse utilizing sid's already existant infrastructre11:09
sivangmdz: that it, debian BTS etc..11:09
mdzthat would require that people wanting to do maintenance in universe become Debian developers, and we absolutely will not do that11:09
mdzwe will empower users to do work in universe directly through Ubuntu11:10
sivangmdz: but if you let people upload and contrib, and ubuntu staffer sync it to sid, then they don't need to become dds11:10
sivangmdz: they will be like "sponsered" from debian's point of view.11:10
mdzI guess I don't understand what you're proposing, then11:10
sivangmdz: probably :) I will try to rephrase and say again...11:11
mdzthe problem is that Ubuntu users don't have a clear place to go for problems in universe11:11
mdzthe solution proposed by the community council is the formation of an Ubuntu team to do that maintenance11:11
mdzDebian cannot be a solution to this problem, because it has its own social and organizational requirements which are separate from Ubuntu's11:12
mdzthat team will, of course, be encouraged to feed their changes upstream to Debian in the usual ways11:12
mdzbut they will not upload packages to Debian, unless they happen to be Debian developers and can do so according to Debian's methodology11:13
mdzthey will upload to Ubuntu11:13
sivangyes, and DD which are also ubuntu maintainers could "sponser" this uploads back to debian ? or is this colliding with debian strucutre again?11:14
sivang*DDS11:14
mdzin Debian, it is only acceptable to upload packages that are maintained by someone else, under specific circumstances11:15
sivangI see.11:15
mdzso it would be in extremely bad taste to push those packages to Debian as a matter of course11:15
sivangthen an infrastructre must be set up...11:15
sivangfor the MOTU people.11:15
seb128mdz: if people start using -devel as a bug tracker for universe the list will be flooded with that and most of the devels will not keep reading it because of the bad SNR11:17
mdzsivang: yes, that is the plan11:17
sivangthis could maybe take the from of debian forge....then ubuntu would build those pacakges, and a proper note would be made to tell peopel who enaable universe that their system may break...but a bug system must be set up.11:17
mdzseb128: if that happens, we will absolutely create a new list11:17
sivang(by saying debian forge I meant alioth)11:17
seb128mdz: ok ...11:18
mdzI am concerned about prematurely splitting lists; it divides the community's attention11:18
lamontcreating new lists should only be done to address traffic overload, not because of perceived possible traffic issues.11:18
seb128I already find we have too many bug with user questions or bug reports on -devel11:18

seb128mdz: that's a start. If we don't stop it now .... 11:21
mdzseb128: ideally, we will eventually have a proper support tracker and bug tracker for everything, and that should help a lot11:21
seb128people will start thinking that's the right list for this sort of stuff and then we are stucked11:21
makoogra: dude, i'm been learning to type from under a down blanket  all day :)11:21
mdzuntil that time, it doesn't seem right to tell people to just go away11:21

makopaid support, etc11:22
mdzthey need to be separate11:22
seb128mdz: and we can get every bug report about universe on -devel so ?11:22
mdzseb128: they require much less resources to process on -devel than in bugzilla11:23
seb128because few people use it atm11:23
mdzand more people see them, so they are more likely to get fixed11:23
seb128I would rather use -users11:24
makoseb128: only a few developers read -users11:24
mdzI'm happy to leave this up to whoever drives the MOTU11:24
mdzI think it will probably become a separate list11:24
seb128mako: I now, but if we keep it in this way, only a few developers will read -devel11:24
seb128s/now/know 11:25
sivangmdz: probably, it's not exactly suited for -users, and -devel we want to keep as low in traffic as possible.11:25
makowhy not a seperate bugzilla?11:25
=== sivang is really glad to read about 60-80 mails per day in -devel.
seb128you guys don't read the gnome list ? 11:25
makoseb128: i don't11:26
sivangseb128: I read gnome-love...11:26
seb128desktop-devel is a good example of list with very few RSN11:26
mdzmako: malone11:26
makomdz: well, if we had malone doing what we wanted this wouldn't be an issue at all, right?11:26
seb128I mean, they do this because devels are busy and tend to unsubscribe really quickly when a list start to deal with user threads and bug reports11:26
mdzmako: well, there is more to universe than bug reports11:26
sivangIIRC, malone is supposed to be the FOSS Universal bug tracker right?11:26
makomdz: heh, clearly :)11:27

mdzwhether a separate instance, a separate product, whatever11:27
