| Kamion | mdz: I'll do that udevstart change tomorrow | 12:04 |
|---|---|---|
| mdz | thanks and thanks | 12:06 |
| Kamion | ta for the idea | 12:06 |
| mdz | untranslated messages sound OK for unattended installs | 12:06 |
| mdz | I guess it only sucks if some detection step fails | 12:06 |
| Kamion | I tend to agree. The only issue is if it has to stop and wait for keyboard input | 12:06 |
| Kamion | but most people can probably cope in an emergency | 12:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | unless they have a usb keyboard | 12:07 |
| Kamion | anyway, time for !work | 12:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | with no legacy emulation | 12:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | eg:mac | 12:07 |
| Kamion | HrdwrBoB: that's already set up before the keyboard chooser runs, or you would not be able to select your language. | 12:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | true | 12:07 |
| Kamion | we're not talking about not doing keyboard hardware probing | 12:08 |
| mjg59 | What's the situation with respect to the kernel at the moment? | 12:08 |
| HrdwrBoB | apparently thought he low memory detector runs before hotplug | 12:08 |
| Kamion | this is purely layout | 12:08 |
| mdz | Kamion: did smurfix talk with you about integrating the keyboard layout selector? | 12:08 |
| Kamion | mdz: yes, I gave him some hints | 12:08 |
| mdz | ok, good | 12:08 |
| Kamion | HrdwrBoB: it runs before hw-detect, but hotplug does stuff well before that in practice. | 12:08 |
| Kamion | HrdwrBoB: there's also usb-discover, which runs in debian-installer-startup.d | 12:08 |
| mjg59 | There's a couple of patches I could do with getting in | 12:09 |
| Kamion | really gone | 12:09 |
| YokoZar | Hey, can someone help me out with a package? | 12:20 |
| YokoZar | It's sort of half compiling (gets to the .deb file, but errors before asking for my key) The deb file works though | 12:21 |
| YokoZar | deb-src http://tuzakey.com/~scott/apt source/ | 12:22 |
| dholbach | YokoZar: what does it say? what error messages? | 12:22 |
| YokoZar | The package is winetools | 12:22 |
| YokoZar | It's a make: clean error - "no package" | 12:22 |
| dholbach | YokoZar: and before that? | 12:22 |
| YokoZar | Before that it finishes the build package step I think | 12:23 |
| dholbach | YokoZar: the build-depends are surely wrong | 12:25 |
| dholbach | YokoZar: i mean debian/control | 12:25 |

| srbaker | doesn't ssmtp do what sjr wants? | 12:42 |
| tseng | srbaker: having only read the summary in ubuntu traffic, i believe ssmtp does | 12:45 |
| srbaker | good | 12:45 |
| tseng | its the default mta in gentoo to fill the same niche as described | 12:45 |
| tseng | /usr/bin/sendmail w/o listening daemon | 12:45 |
| srbaker | excellent | 12:46 |
| srbaker | the unfortunate thing about gentoo is that there are a few smart people wasting their time on it :( | 12:46 |
| srbaker | those people would have their efforts better spent on Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, or FreeBSD. | 12:46 |
| tseng | i spend time on both, incidentally | 12:47 |
| srbaker | tseng, ahh. you're wasing some of your time, then ;) | 12:47 |
| tseng | srbaker: the hardened gentoo project is currently a fair bit ahead of anyone else in the area. | 12:47 |
| tseng | unless you count security-by-marketability ala redhat | 12:48 |
| srbaker | fedora is pretty good at security | 12:48 |
| tseng | erm, not at hardening | 12:48 |
| tseng | ill not discuss it too much here, but there are several glaring flaws in ES, and their use of PIE is limited | 12:49 |
| tseng | and they ignore SSP entirely. | 12:49 |
| srbaker | not ES. Fedora. | 12:50 |
| tseng | i assume you are talking about reactive security, which im not talking about | 12:50 |
| srbaker | ? | 12:50 |
| srbaker | no, i'm talking about preventative security | 12:50 |
| tseng | so whats good about it | 12:51 |
| srbaker | the default selinux policy is quite good | 12:51 |
| tseng | you mean the targetted policy? | 12:52 |
| tseng | it only protects a select few apps, same as their PIE strategy | 12:52 |
| tseng | but anyway, fedora is OT here, and ubuntu can do better. | 12:53 |
| dholbach | good night guys... i'm off to bed :-) | 12:55 |

| tseng | i looked at your site | 12:58 |
| tseng | and that script wont help you much | 12:58 |
| tseng | it assumes all packages are in one dir | 12:58 |
| dholbach | tseng: every *.deb *.dsc *.orig.tar.gz *.diff.gz - everything? | 12:59 |
| tseng | heh, yes | 12:59 |

| tseng | you could split deb and source | 12:59 |
| tseng | or use a more complex method | 12:59 |

| mdz | it's a bug, dude | 01:32 |
| jdub | that's why it's in the bug tracker! | 01:32 |
| mdz | which aspect of it triggered the boggle? | 01:32 |
| mdz | did you get my email about gnome-bt? | 01:33 |
| jdub | someone finding it and bothering to report the bug | 01:33 |
| jdub | yes | 01:33 |
| mdz | I installed it; the package seems quite sane | 01:33 |
| mdz | installed, clicked on .torrent in firefox, everything went | 01:33 |
| marcin_ | jdub: sorry that I'm asking you a question about website contest, again - but are you really going to judge skins and mockups equally? even when these mockups won't be usable (to hard to implement as real skins or too "heavy" and require too much bandwidth) but just pretty? | 01:40 |
| jdub | marcin_: sure | 01:40 |
| jdub | marcin_: they'll be judged on their appropriateness for the ubuntu website | 01:41 |
| marcin_ | jdub: i just have some projects as images and don't know if just send them as they are or work on html... | 01:41 |
| jdub | the announce says you're welcome to send images | 01:41 |
| tseng | jdub: tomboy! :P | 01:42 |
| marcin_ | jdub: hmm ok - than I'll have them ready for tomorrow | 01:42 |
| jdub | tseng: i will put it on my list for today :) | 01:42 |
| marcin_ | jdub: thanks :) | 01:42 |
| tseng | jdub: yay! | 01:42 |
| crimsun | (as an aside, mono* 1.0.5 builds on sid now; the build problem was resolved) | 01:43 |
| tseng | crimsun: yay some more | 01:43 |
| tseng | except i cant get to alioth currently.. | 01:43 |
| crimsun | try http://www.meebey.net/debian/mono-suite, though it's currently not responding for me | 01:45 |
| tseng | yeah not much luck here either | 01:45 |
| mdz | jdub: any reason not to put gnome-bt into hoary and run with it? | 01:45 |
| jdub | mdz: i'll look at it today | 01:45 |
| mdz | ok | 01:46 |
| thom | mdz: is this week of the weird firefox bugs? | 01:46 |
| thom | :-) | 01:46 |
| jdub | i doubt i'd say no; we need one, even as a transition to something much nicer | 01:46 |
| jdub | thom: you've seen the weird text highlighting / overlap stuff? | 01:46 |
| thom | jdub: only with a really teeny font in a text entry box | 01:47 |
| jdub | hmm | 01:47 |
| jdub | i wonder if it's screenshottable | 01:47 |
| jdub | so there's two things i'm seeing: | 01:47 |
| thom | and then, only on our bugzilla | 01:47 |
| jdub | text seems to run outside right boundaries | 01:48 |
| jdub | like on my tabs atm, text runs off the right side (that's shottable) | 01:48 |
| thom | please screenshot and bug | 01:48 |
| jdub | second thing is when editing, the cursor appears a couple of letters to the left, and i don't see all the text i've typed | 01:48 |
| thom | i've seen that, and caillon has mentioned it also | 01:49 |
| mdz | thom: this has been happening to me for a while; I only just got around to reporting it | 01:49 |
| jdub | hmm, might try two at once | 01:49 |
| mdz | I just assumed it happened to everyone | 01:49 |
| thom | mdz: i blame squid (even if you don't have a squid proxy) | 01:49 |
| mdz | thom: I do use squid, but it happens without it, and even so, I can't think of any way that squid could cause that | 01:50 |
| mdz | why the hell would it use anything other than the URL to determine the filename to use? | 01:50 |
| thom | neither can i, but i can't imagine why firefox would append .tar.gz to everything | 01:50 |
| thom | it might be trying to be smart with the mime type | 01:51 |
| mdz | it's not everything; only .gz | 01:51 |
| jdub | thom: people.ubuntu.com/~jdub/screenshots/ | 01:51 |
| mdz | so .orig.tar.gz -> .orig.tar.gz.tgz | 01:51 |
| === ogra [~ogra@p508EADDA.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | and .diff.gz -> .diff.gz.tgz | 01:51 |

| mdz | jdub: we're talking about #6020; any idea? | 01:51 |
| jdub | on sec | 01:52 |
| === jdub waits for bz | ||
| thom | mdz: that's pretty amazing, really | 01:52 |
| dholbach | upload finished | 01:53 |
| jdub | mdz: can't reproduce | 01:53 |
| mdz | wtf | 01:53 |
| mdz | it is "weird firefox bugs that only happen to mdz" week | 01:53 |
| mdz | I don't even know where to look for this bug | 01:53 |
| jdub | certainly a special one | 01:53 |
| mdz | that file saving dialog is gtk, right? | 01:53 |
| thom | mdz: yes | 01:53 |
| thom | EZ GTK BOOG | 01:54 |
| thom | ahem | 01:54 |
| mdz | it also seems odd that the "save in folder" selector is blank; is that also only me? | 01:54 |
| dholbach | good night guys... now i'm off | 01:55 |
| dholbach | *wave* | 01:55 |
| thom | mdz: mine comes up with Home by default | 01:55 |
| ajmitch | good afternoon all | 01:55 |
| thom | so yeah, seems like another one specially for you | 01:55 |
| mdz | thom: I have "save all files to this folder: /tmp" in my firefox prefs | 01:55 |
| mdz | though switching to "ask me every time" gives exactly the same results | 01:56 |
| mdz | I blame file-roller | 01:56 |
| === ajmitch digs back into hacking | ||

| thom | mdz: even with that setting, i don't get a blank Location | 01:57 |
| ajmitch | mono 1.0.5 in universe yet? meebey fixed the build failures with 1.0.4 | 01:57 |
| mdz | maybe seb128 will have an idea | 01:57 |
| === tritium [~tritium@12-202-90-180.client.insightBB.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| thom | mdz: OOI, if you move your .mozilla/firefox directroy out the way, do all these things still happen? | 01:57 |
| mdz | ajmitch: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UpstreamVersionFreeze | 01:57 |
| thom | (and restart mozilla) | 01:57 |
| mdz | will try | 01:57 |
| mdz | it would be nice if firefox would restore my tabs | 01:58 |
| ajmitch | mdz: yes, I've been told it's a bit more flexible with universe | 01:58 |
| mdz | like galeon did about 5 years ago | 01:58 |
| ajmitch | especially as it gets a package building properly | 01:58 |
| === syn-ack [~meskes@ip68-228-61-85.tc.ph.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | ajmitch: yes, the policy is more relaxed, but no updates happen unless explicitly requested | 01:58 |
| thom | mdz: yes, well | 01:58 |
| ogra | thom: is this better ? http://www.grawert.net/hal_cpuinfo.png (no more /proc/acpi) | 01:58 |
| thom | mdz: firefox doesn't have xsm support yet, tabs are way more advanced ;-) | 01:59 |
| ajmitch | mdz: may I request it then? | 01:59 |
| mdz | thom: still happens | 01:59 |
| thom | ogra: cool! | 01:59 |
| ogra | :) | 01:59 |
| mdz | though all my preferences are clearly still there | 01:59 |
| ajmitch | I don't think they've been uploaded to sid yet | 01:59 |
| mdz | maybe I need to move all of ~/.mozilla? | 01:59 |
| mdz | ajmitch: yes | 02:00 |
| thom | they shouldn't be. give it a whirl | 02:00 |
| mdz | ah, it's using ~/.firefox | 02:00 |
| ajmitch | nope, not in sid, just in meebey's local archive | 02:00 |
| mdz | is that abnormal? | 02:01 |
| thom | mdz: you *have* a .firefox? | 02:01 |
| mdz | of course | 02:01 |
| tritium | thom, the changelog says that gnomestripe theme is "enabled". In fact, it seems to have completely replaced the default theme. | 02:01 |
| thom | tritium: yes | 02:01 |
| thom | tritium: bug already filed | 02:01 |
| tritium | thom, okay, thanks | 02:01 |
| thom | mdz: um, i think that's somewhat abnormal | 02:01 |
| mjg59 | So, by hacking the cardbus driver, removing the ACPI processor module and doing some setpci calls on resume, I can get my old Thinkpad to have ACPI love | 02:02 |
| mjg59 | thom: We're going to have to hack acpid. /etc/init.d/acpid stop only works by accident | 02:02 |
| mjg59 | On slower machines, acpid is never stopped | 02:02 |
| mjg59 | Or rather, it only gets stopped after resume, so it comes back up and acpid is no longer running | 02:02 |
| mdz | nuking my profile seems to fix the .tgz thing | 02:02 |
| mjg59 | We need acpid to read a lock file and refuse to execute any events if it exists | 02:02 |
| mdz | but the folder selector is still blank | 02:03 |
| mdz | and I don't _want _ to nuke my profile ;-/ | 02:03 |
| thom | interestingly, my laptop has a .firefox, my desktop does not | 02:03 |
| mdz | I have files in both ~/.firefox and ~/.mozilla/firefox with recent mtimes | 02:04 |
| mdz | it's clearly using both | 02:04 |
| mdz | I seem to have one profile in ~/.mozilla/mdz/nthoe233423 and one in ~/.firefox/default/udn2h34oue | 02:05 |
| thom | mjg59: lovely. agree on using lock file, will you file a bug? | 02:05 |

| pitti | mvo_: what is required to build a package with bzip2 compression? | 10:02 |
| mvo_ | pitti: never done it, but I think dpkg-deb --build on the .bz2 files | 10:04 |
| pitti | mvo_: no, I mean compressing the debs with bzip2 instead of gzip | 10:04 |
| pitti | mvo_: i. e. foo.deb -> control.tar.gz + data.tar.bz2 | 10:04 |
| mvo_ | I don't know if there is a automatic way yet, but repacking the data+control.gz to .bz2 and call dpkg-deb --build on it | 10:05 |

| pitti | ogra: today there was an interesting thread on hal@fd.o | 10:43 |
| pitti | ogra: a guy presented his procfs code | 10:43 |
| pitti | ogra: and it will very likely be merged into hal cvs | 10:43 |
| pitti | ogra: however, not in the 0.4 branch | 10:44 |
| ogra | pitti: its already beckported ;) | 10:44 |
| pitti | ogra: oh, cool | 10:44 |
| ogra | back even | 10:44 |
| ogra | look at the screenshots above :) | 10:44 |
| pitti | looks great | 10:44 |
| pitti | ogra: also for powerpc? | 10:44 |
| ogra | thom convinced me to use /proc/cpuinfo istead of all this acpi ... | 10:44 |
| ogra | yup | 10:44 |
| ogra | tested on all 3 warty arches | 10:44 |
| pitti | dmidecode will follow? | 10:45 |
| ogra | i got a test package up (no clean patch yet) you can try it: http://www.grawert.net/hal_0.4.7-1ubuntu1_powerpc.deb | 10:45 |
| pitti | ogra: ahem, shouldn't that be 1ubuntu2? | 10:46 |
| pitti | ogra: or, even better 1ubuntu1ogra1 or so? :-) | 10:46 |
| ogra | pitti: just for a test ? | 10:46 |
| pitti | nevermind :.-) | 10:46 |
| ogra | pitti: i dont want to steal it from sjoerd (will just send in patches) | 10:47 |
| pitti | ogra: sjoerd will include this into sid? | 10:48 |
| pitti | that's even better... | 10:48 |
| ogra | ah, and this one: http://www.grawert.net/hal-device-manager_0.4.7-1ubuntu1_all.deb | 10:48 |
| ogra | pitti: dunno, if he likes.... | 10:48 |
| pitti | would be cool | 10:48 |
| ogra | pitti: currently i'm struggling a bit wih th dmidecode idea... you know that it needs direct access to /dev/mem ? | 10:50 |
| pitti | ogra: uh, read-only? | 10:51 |
| === ogra wonders if the same data isnt available elsewhere with ess restrichted rights... | ||
| pitti | ogra: that would mean that you need the kmem group for hal | 10:51 |
| ogra | pitti: nope, but it needs definately uid=0 or group kmem .... both not nice for hal | 10:51 |
| ogra | pitti: is this secure ? | 10:52 |
| pitti | ogra: could you create a separate kmem-sgid binary "hal-dmidecode-detect" | 10:52 |
| pitti | ogra: and call this from hald? | 10:52 |
| pitti | this would separate the privileges | 10:52 |
| ogra | yup | 10:52 |
| pitti | and confine kmem rights to a minimum | 10:52 |
| ogra | i'll try... | 10:52 |
| pitti | running hald proper in kmem wouldn't be so nice | 10:53 |
| ogra | gah,i made a mistake in uploading glibmm .... | 10:53 |
| ogra | pitti: thats what i thought | 10:53 |

| === infinity raises his brow. | ||
| infinity | Ubtuntu is moving to bzip2 debs without a skip-a-release policy? | 11:04 |
| aj | but bzip2 barely ever makes any difference anyway? | 11:04 |
| mjg59 | jdub: Nope | 11:05 |
| elmo | infinity: pre-depends on relevant version of dpkg | 11:05 |
| elmo | and it's only being used where it does make a difference | 11:05 |
| infinity | elmo : Ugly. | 11:05 |
| elmo | and presumably pitti has figures to show it does for language packs | 11:05 |
| elmo | pitti: (right?) | 11:05 |
| elmo | infinity: *shrug* it fits more stuff on the CD - which is more of an issue for us than it is for Debian | 11:05 |
| infinity | A deb pre-depending on a versioned dpkg is sick. | 11:05 |
| infinity | <nod>.. Fair nuff. | 11:06 |
| pitti | elmo: | 11:06 |

| elmo | btw, pre-depending on a versioned dpkg has plenty of precedent | 11:06 |
| aj | that doesn't work though does it? dpkg --unpack dpkg.deb foo.deb # will satisfy the pre-dep, but use the old dpkg to unpack the foo.deb with the pre-deps | 11:06 |
| infinity | I wonder if this "you can use -Z bzip2 if you predepend on dpkg >= foo" would fly in Debian as well. | 11:06 |
| pitti | 2.7 MB vs. 3.1 MB | 11:06 |
| elmo | infinity: it won't, you need the right dpkg on the katie machine too, which newraff doesn't have | 11:07 |
| elmo | there's checks in katie to enforce the pre-dependency tho | 11:07 |
| infinity | Check. | 11:07 |
| elmo | aj: err, unpacked doesn't satisfy pre-deps? | 11:08 |
| pitti | so it saves 15% | 11:08 |

| elmo | aj: I thought definition of pre-depends was that it must be installed _and_ configured? | 11:08 |
| aj | oh, i didn't think that applied to essential packages? | 11:09 |

| mvo_ | hi seb128 | 11:09 |
| dholbach | hi seb128 | 11:09 |
| ogra | morning seb128 | 11:09 |
| seb128 | pitti: you DOSed my box with udev, bad guy | 11:09 |
| seb128 | pitti: I had to reboot :p | 11:09 |
| pitti | seb128: hmm? | 11:09 |
| aj | (note that apt never invokes dpkg like that anyway, so this isn't terribly important) | 11:10 |
| pitti | seb128: I did not even touch udev recently | 11:10 |
| mvo_ | did the same to me at friday :) | 11:10 |
| pitti | seb128: ah, did your cpu go to 100% on hal upgrade? | 11:10 |
| infinity | aj : Won't your scenario just fork a new dpkg-deb for the second unpack anyway, thus using the newly installed binary? | 11:10 |
| seb128 | pitti: friday I updated hal and after that load ~9 and a ton of udev stuff moving in the ps list | 11:10 |
| ogra | pitti: same here (only on amd64) ... | 11:10 |
| pitti | seb128, ogra: we are reasonably convinced that his is a kernel bug | 11:11 |
| seb128 | pitti: and you were hidding from IRC :p (I should probably blame your ISP for this one :p) | 11:11 |
| ogra | pitti: udev freaks out after the update (cant verify it on ppc or i386) | 11:11 |
| pitti | it happens with older hal versions too, and it doesn't happen in Debian | 11:11 |
| seb128 | pitti: so that's fabbione's fault ? :) | 11:11 |
| ogra | pitti: but they may be not up to date currently... | 11:11 |
| elmo | aj: debootstrap does tho, I guess? | 11:12 |
| pitti | seb128: yes, I was mostly offline friday morning :-( | 11:12 |
| pitti | ogra, seb128: were any of you able to identify the culprit? | 11:12 |
| aj | elmo: debootstrap assumes dpkg and other stuff is tar/gzip/ar'ed too | 11:12 |
| pitti | ogra: this is an udev issue? | 11:12 |
| elmo | aj: really? neat | 11:12 |
| aj | elmo: it has to unpack dpkg before dpkg is installed | 11:13 |
| ogra | pitti: my log shows udev trying to create /dev/ramXX | 11:13 |
| elmo | aj: ok, but it doesn't make that assumption in general? | 11:13 |
| pitti | ogra: and it went mad on this one? | 11:13 |
| infinity | But once dpkg is installed, it uses dpkg-deb for the rest, right? | 11:13 |
| aj | elmo: it doesn't make any assumptions for stuff outside base, obviously | 11:13 |
| ogra | pitti: it does it over and over | 11:13 |
| elmo | if anyone suggests bzip-ing the data.tar of dpkg, I'll beat them senselesss | 11:13 |
| aj | elmo: it makes that assumption for, hrm, essential/required; probably nothing else | 11:13 |
| ogra | pitti: always the same devices.... | 11:13 |
| infinity | elmo : How about you bzip2 the data.tar of dpkg? | 11:13 |
| seb128 | pitti: http://rafb.net/paste/results/ofl3gX45.html | 11:14 |

| ogra | seb128: would you like to be able to use gtkmm again ? dholbach prepared packages .... | 11:20 |
| pitti | seb128: hmm, thanks. I try to reproduce it. | 11:20 |
| infinity | aj : Still, in your "dpkg --unpack dpkg.deb foo.deb" scenario, doesn't dpkg fork an instance of dpkg-deb for each of those successive unpacks, and therefor the second dpkg-deb forked would be from the new dpkg.deb? | 11:20 |
| aj | oh, right | 11:20 |
| pitti | infinity: which patch? the one which respects open_basedir restriction? | 11:20 |
| infinity | pitti : Is there another one? :) | 11:20 |
| elmo | does dpkg even order the unpacking tho? | 11:20 |
| seb128 | dholbach: hum, main, different issue ... | 11:20 |
| elmo | or just respect the order on the command line | 11:21 |
| pitti | infinity: well, I think I already explained in the BTS followup | 11:21 |
| pitti | infinity: if upstream does not want to support it | 11:21 |
| infinity | elmo : It's supposed to order complete operations for pre-deps, but I suppose only testing would confirm. | 11:21 |
| aj | i think it does the cmd line ordering; but it'd error if you tried it the otherway, so no big deal | 11:21 |
| pitti | infinity: then Debian and Ubuntu either should maintain it on their own | 11:21 |
| pitti | infinity: or drop it | 11:21 |
| seb128 | dholbach: I'll have a look on the package | 11:21 |
| pitti | infinity: but if nobody else actually uses it, then I think we should rather say the truth | 11:21 |
| infinity | pitti : I'm okay with maintaining it if you're more or less happy with the patch itself. | 11:21 |
| pitti | infinity: and tell that the open_basedir restriction is mostly bogus | 11:22 |
| dholbach | seb128: yes... unfortunately - i consulted configure.in and made sure the API wasnt broken - i tried inkscape/regexxer, which use it - but it 'd be great if some one else 'd have a look | 11:22 |
| pitti | infinity: I'm fine with the patch, it works well for me | 11:22 |
| aj | hrm, dpkg-deb is invoked, so it might be fine anyway | 11:22 |
| dholbach | seb128: deb-src http://ubuntu.stufenseite.de/Repo ./ | 11:22 |
| pitti | infinity: it might have holes, but then again the whole open_basedir thingy has holes :-) | 11:22 |
| seb128 | dholbach: thanks | 11:22 |
| infinity | pitti : open_basedir, basically, is guaranteed (modulo bugs) to work with zend and ext/standard. Anything else is up in the air. They have too many extensions to police. | 11:22 |
| ogra | seb128: there is also a working coaster package ;) | 11:23 |
| pitti | infinity: then I'd think, take it for now and drop it as soon as it causes trouble (new code and you have rejections, etc.) | 11:23 |
| pitti | infinity: what would you do with it? | 11:23 |
| infinity | pitti : On the other hand, patches have been recently submitted and accepted for fixing open_basedir issues in other extensions. So it might just be the curl extension maintainer whose head is firmly up his ass. | 11:23 |
| === ogra thinks dholbach just becomes a really famous MOTU | ||
| === dholbach blushes crimson and stares at the floor. :-) | ||
| infinity | pitti : I'll add it in the next Debian upload. If I find a spare moment to argue with the 12-year-olds I call "upstream", I'll see about getting it where it belongs. | 11:24 |
| pitti | infinity: no chance that the php4 core maintainers accept it? | 11:24 |
| infinity | pitti : The core guys are some of the aforementioned 12 year olds... | 11:25 |
| pitti | argh | 11:25 |
| infinity | pitti : You want a good laugh, check out recent CVS and see how they'r ebreaking the build system right now. | 11:25 |
| pitti | infinity: so half of the web application world depends and relies on a bunch of 12 years old who refuse to accept security patches? | 11:25 |
| infinity | pitti : Bundling (an old, broken) libtool, making it harder to relibtoolize yourself if you don't like it, etc... | 11:25 |
| elmo | pitti: are we sure this language pack stuff isn't going to break debootstrap? | 11:25 |
| === pitti becomes REALLY scared of PHP | ||
| elmo | pitti: and this means you have to do another en-mass upload doesn't it? :/ | 11:25 |
| aj | what's the language pack stuff? | 11:25 |
| pitti | elmo: I won't do another base upload just for that | 11:26 |
| ogra | pitti: you weren't before ? | 11:26 |
| pitti | ogra: not that much... | 11:26 |
| ogra | heh | 11:26 |
| pitti | elmo: _can_ it break debootstrap? | 11:26 |
| pitti | elmo: i. e. is anything of it part of the base system? | 11:26 |
| infinity | pitti : The latest addition to the team of 12 year olds seems to be an "if it compiles on my system, it ships" guy. Several others have been cleaning up portability issues behind him. | 11:26 |
| elmo | aj: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/LanguagePacks | 11:26 |
| pitti | elmo: I really don't know about the internal workings of debootstrap | 11:27 |
| aj | i think dpkg-deb does make dpkg safe anyway | 11:27 |
| infinity | pitti : And here I am, trying to do a CVS snapshot release that isn't broken (because 4.3.10 /is/ broken)... Yay. | 11:27 |
| pitti | elmo: but AFAICS debootstrap shouldn't install language packs, should it? | 11:27 |
| pitti | infinity: I don't envy you... | 11:27 |
| aj | it'd be odd to have a language pack in base/debootstrap afaics? | 11:28 |
| elmo | aj: yeah, but as you say, it hardcodes the name of the data.tar.gz for 'required' packages - my concern is at least one language will become required | 11:28 |
| infinity | pitti : It's okay. I have enough self-pity this week, I probably don't need any from third parties. :) | 11:28 |
| elmo | well I find it more odd that we'd strip _all_ translations from all packages, but maybe that's just me | 11:28 |
| aj | it's easy to install a language pack after base (same time as grub)? | 11:28 |
| pitti | elmo: what's odd about stripping the whole main section? | 11:29 |
| aj | warty doesn't do language packs, right? | 11:29 |
| elmo | aj: right | 11:29 |
| pitti | aj: right, this is all Hoary stuff | 11:29 |
| aj | gar, dpkg-reconfigure looks like it makes xserver-xorg work now | 11:29 |
| pitti | elmo: if you don't have any pack, you will just get plain "C" translations, i. e. none | 11:30 |
| pitti | elmo: that should usually result in English-ish | 11:30 |
| pitti | elmo: but AFAIUI the installer apt-get's the langpack after installing the base system | 11:30 |
| pitti | Kamion: ^ that right? | 11:31 |
| infinity | "English-ish"... Heh. | 11:31 |
| infinity | "Programmerlish"? | 11:31 |
| pitti | infinity: well, British guys might find some odd "colors" and so on... :-) | 11:31 |
| aj | doh, how do i make dpkg-reconfigure regenerate /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 11:32 |
| ogra | aj: read the md5sum hints in the head of the file ;) | 11:33 |

| elmo | there's still no way to relocate X clients across hosts, right? [</madly wishful>] | 01:54 |
| mjg59 | elmo: gtk has support for it | 01:54 |
| Mithrandir | elmo: xmove, or nx. | 01:55 |
| mjg59 | But there's no authentication code written yet (AFAIK), so it's not widely supported | 01:55 |
| rburton | there are gtk "issues" with it, and you need full acccess to both servers to make it work | 01:57 |
| elmo | rburton: issues with which? mjg59's comment or mithrandir's? | 01:57 |
| elmo | 'cos xmove looks semi-perfect | 01:57 |
| rburton | xmove is a hack :) | 01:58 |
| rburton | gtk apps can seamlessly disconnect from one display and re-connect to another | 01:58 |
| elmo | okay, so xchat's a gtk app.. how do I move it from my laptop to my desktop? :) | 01:58 |
| rburton | but its a bit buggy, xlib doesn't like the old screen being disconnected | 01:58 |
| rburton | elmo: you hack xchat to add a "move to other display" button. it's all a mess atm :( | 01:59 |
| rburton | elmo: never fear, there is work to make it just happen if an atom is set on the window | 01:59 |
| elmo | duh | 01:59 |
| mjg59 | xmove doesn't support most of the X extensions that clients are likely to use | 02:00 |

| elmo | unless it's something old school like GNU Emacs, I guess | 02:00 |
| elmo | hmm, I don't suppose my network connections would survive the switch of hosts, anyway, in xchat | 02:00 |
| thom | gnu emacs supports migration anyway aiui | 02:01 |
| rburton | yeah, emacs can create frames on other displays | 02:01 |
| elmo | kind of | 02:01 |
| thom | certainly it's an oft-quoted example | 02:01 |
| elmo | I mostly brought up emacs as an example of a client that probably doesn't use new X extensions, unlike xchat or a web browser | 02:01 |

| Mithrandir | elmo: oh, ok | 02:10 |
| thom | elmo: no, i just run irssi in screen | 02:11 |
| elmo | hmm, irssi isn't too bad, except for the moronic package name, the fact that it's in universe and that it doesn't have the anti-pasto feature of xchat | 02:17 |
| Treenaks | elmo: it does have an anti-paste feature | 02:17 |

| elmo | gar, having laptop/desktop keyboards with ~ and | reversed from each other is a receipe for (increased) insanity | 02:29 |
| infinity | My laptop's ~/` key is between [space] and [alt] on the right side. | 02:29 |
| infinity | And the keycap is missing. | 02:29 |
| Treenaks | infinity: yuk! | 02:30 |
| infinity | I'm finally starting to get used to the missing keycap, after a year. | 02:30 |
| smurfix | elmo: so swap them | 02:30 |
| elmo | smurfix: yeah, I am, I'm trying to decide which I prefer | 02:30 |
| Mithrandir | elmo: which is why a Norwegian keyboard layout is nice, since you then just lose the |, while the tilde stays in the same place. | 02:31 |
| Treenaks | Mithrandir: losing the | is nice? | 02:31 |
| elmo | boggle, what treenaks said | 02:31 |
| daniels | elmo: 'swhat you get for having a US keyboard | 02:31 |
| Mithrandir | Treenaks: no, not losing ~ is nice. Half the lossage. | 02:32 |
| daniels | s/Us/UK/ | 02:32 |
| elmo | my laptop has | next to return, which is nice for shell pipe-fests, and ~ next to z which is less nice when I (infrequently) use it | 02:32 |
| Treenaks | I have 3 keyboards.. one with "\|" between ENTER and Backspace, one with "\|" right of the right shift(!), and one with it next to ENTER (but there, the ENTER button is wide at the top instead of at the bottom..) | 02:33 |
| infinity | I may be an old skool IBMer, but I'm firmly of the opinion that ~/` belongs next to 1, and | above [enter] | 02:33 |
| infinity | Treenaks : I had one with it next to the right shift. That was a Zenith server keyboard. Nice keyboard, weird layout. | 02:34 |
| smurfix | The Enter key is a desaster in itself. Just how many ways to shape the thing so that you hit something else instead are there?? | 02:34 |
| Treenaks | infinity: yeah, me too.. have that on my Logitech here as well | 02:35 |
| thom | infinity: above enter? you're not one of those people who like vertically challenged enter keys, are you? :P | 02:35 |
| === smurfix has a small keysonic keyboard. The keys are a bit on the small side, but the Enter key is *huge*, and Control is on the far left where it belongs | ||
| Treenaks | smurfix: I have one "-"-shaped one (like shift), one which is wider at the top, and one which is wider at the bottom | 02:35 |
| smurfix | none of the "hit Fn instead" crap | 02:35 |
| Treenaks | smurfix: ugh. laptops | 02:35 |
| infinity | thom : Yeah, I prefer enter to be long, but short. | 02:36 |
| infinity | thom : Blame IBM. | 02:36 |
| infinity | thom : They broke me. | 02:36 |
| smurfix | Treenaks: No, it's an USB keyboard | 02:36 |
| infinity | thom : Compaq too. | 02:36 |
| Treenaks | smurfix: USB keyboard with an Fn key? | 02:36 |
| smurfix | Treenaks: Yeah, I don't understand what the KeySonic people smoked when they designed it either, the only key you actually *need* is for is numlock. | 02:37 |
| Treenaks | smurfix: numlock is crack anyway | 02:37 |
| elmo | thom: meh, this proxy stuff doesn't seem to work | 02:37 |
| Treenaks | smurfix: (the LED is nice to show alternate group.. but that's another story :)) | 02:38 |

| thom | elmo: he's maintainer | 02:38 |
| smurfix | even though I don't do alternate groups. | 02:38 |
| Treenaks | daniels: oh, I use numlock to switch between "US" and "US International" layouts :) | 02:38 |
| Treenaks | daniels: US is nicer when coding, US Intl is nicer when writing long pieces of Dutch text :) | 02:39 |
| === thom hopes for some drive by figletting from elmo | ||
| smurfix | daniels: Other, more sane, people use it to switch between ASCII and Crillic. For instance. | 02:39 |

| smurfix | Cyrillic | 02:39 |
| daniels | woah. | 02:39 |

| smurfix | infinity: If they're Russians, most probably. | 02:40 |
| smurfix | OK, on the other hand, scratch that. | 02:40 |

| pitti | ogra: hmm, could be that you need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for that, too | 04:46 |
| pitti | ogra: however, this capability is essentially root | 04:47 |
| ogra | pitti: regard the error, without suid group i get "permission denied", not "Operation not permitted" | 04:47 |
| pitti | right | 04:47 |
| pitti | that means that you can open the device node | 04:47 |
| pitti | but not read from it | 04:47 |
| ogra | pitti: gah | 04:48 |
| pitti | ogra: I think that's exactly the same as /proc/klog | 04:48 |
| pitti | ogra: the kernel restricts access to these files to processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN | 04:48 |
| ogra | pitti: so i'm doomed to use suid root ? | 04:48 |
| pitti | ogra: I'm afraid so | 04:48 |

| pitti | ah, you call dmidecode? | 04:49 |
| ogra | yup | 04:49 |
| pitti | then your own code does not need any privileges | 04:49 |
| pitti | ogra: do it like this: | 04:50 |
| ogra | you mean i shold set dmidecode suid root ? | 04:50 |
| pitti | no | 04:50 |
| pitti | - your program is suid root | 04:50 |
| pitti | - immediately at start you fork() | 04:50 |
| ogra | ok... | 04:50 |
| pitti | - one process execv()'s dmidecode and opens a pipe to it | 04:50 |
| ogra | is popen ok too ? | 04:51 |
| pitti | - the other process drops all privileges: setgid(getgid()); setuid(getuid()); | 04:51 |

| pitti | ogra: bah, no | 04:52 |

| ogra | oh, ok | 04:52 |
| pitti | ogra: please rather not use it | 04:52 |
| ogra | then execv | 04:52 |

| pitti | ogra: sure, I will :-) | 04:54 |

| pitti | DESCRIPTION | 05:00 |
| pitti | The popen() function opens a process by creating a pipe, forking, and invoking the shell. | 05:00 |
| seb128 | pitti: yeah, the lock is fixed and was not due to hal | 05:00 |
| lamont_r | pitti: hrm. | 05:00 |
| seb128 | pitti: and since hal rocks :) | 05:00 |
| pitti | lamont_r: ^ I did not check the code, just looked at the manpage | 05:00 |
| lamont_r | ok | 05:00 |
| lamont_r | ok | 05:00 |
| pitti | lamont_r: if it doesn't use the shell, then it's probably fine | 05:01 |

| pitti | _elmo: using 100% CPU after hal upgrade? | 05:01 |
| _elmo | yeah | 05:01 |
| === pitti sighs | ||
| _elmo | well, I dunno actually, I just upgraded for the fist time in several weeks and when I came back the next day hal and udev were sitting there beating the machine to death | 05:02 |
| lamont_r | _elmo: you mean that's not just hoary/ia64? cool | 05:02 |
| pitti | _elmo: I encountered this too. but the odd thing was that no single process used up the cpu | 05:02 |
| pitti | _elmo: all processes were quiet, but the cpu in general was 100% | 05:02 |
| _elmo | pitti: I had something different then, when I found it, it was creating devices in a loop, again and again | 05:03 |
| pitti | _elmo: /dev/ramXX ? | 05:03 |
| smurfix | pitti: Hmmm... I see that too, something seems to be forking off small stuff like crazy. | 05:03 |
| === pitti tries to reproduce it | ||
| ogra | pitti: if i reboot in this state, i get a message about a hanging process in the shutdown messages... | 05:03 |
| _elmo | pitti: a whole bunch of different ones, scsi, loop I remember | 05:03 |
| pitti | but after reboot everything works fine? | 05:04 |
| ogra | yup | 05:04 |
| pitti | (it did for me) | 05:04 |
| ogra | pitti: btw.... was quite time consuming to test my hal patches yesterday ;) | 05:04 |
| pitti | ogra: ? | 05:04 |
| ogra | every test a reboot.... | 05:04 |
| pitti | ogra: you can reproduce it reliably? | 05:04 |
| lamont_r | very bad to require a reboot... | 05:05 |
| pitti | ogra: I can't | 05:05 |
| lamont_r | pitti: does dpkg --reinstall do it? | 05:05 |
| pitti | I was able to reproduce it once, but never again | 05:05 |
| ogra | i can, everytime i install hal and dbus/hal restarts | 05:05 |
| pitti | lamont_r: I currently do "sudo dpkg -i hal_0.4.7-1ubuntu1_i386.deb" over and over again | 05:05 |
| seb128 | is LIBTOOL_IS_A_FOOL still needed ? | 05:05 |
| ogra | pitti: i have this only on amd64... my ppc and i386 work fine | 05:05 |
| lamont_r | t-bone saw it on a fresh? install on ia64, iirc | 05:06 |
| pitti | ogra: so what is the culprit exactly? | 05:06 |
| Kamion | yeah, T-Bone can reproduce it every time on install I think | 05:06 |
| pitti | lamont_r: --reinstall does not work (or, rather, does), too | 05:06 |
| === lamont_r hasn't seen the problem yet | ||
| Kamion | 'bterm': unknown terminal type | 05:07 |

| Kamion | any idea what program might be emitting that message | 05:07 |
| Kamion | ? | 05:07 |
| ogra | pitti: dunno, as i said, udev tries to create /dev/ramXX wildly and i get a message about a hanging process on reboot then... after reboot everything is fine | 05:07 |
| ogra | pitti: i'm at the office currently, i can make more tests this evening... | 05:08 |
| smurfix | the fact that it amnages to do that at all is somewhat remarkable, much less that it still forks off stuff :-/ | 05:08 |
| lamont_r | Kamion: make /usr/lib/terminfo/b/bterm a symlink to /etc/terminfo/b/bterm, and make that a named pipe.... | 05:08 |
| pitti | now I down- and upgraded over and over again, I cannot reproduce it | 05:08 |
| lamont_r | Kamion: of course, that turns it from a nasty warning into a hang, but... :-) | 05:09 |
| pitti | ogra: if you encounter this again, please try to stop hal before upgrading | 05:09 |
| pitti | ogra: sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal stop | 05:09 |
| Kamion | lamont_r: :-P | 05:09 |
| ogra | pitti: i will...i'll report back tonight | 05:09 |
| pitti | ogra: might help; if it does, I change the init scripts for a quickfix | 05:10 |
| ogra | yup | 05:10 |
| lamont_r | Kamion: that's the longwinded way of saying 'NFC' :) | 05:10 |
| pitti | lamont_r: can you reproduce the hal hang? | 05:11 |
| smurfix | Why doesn't "kill" (the command, not the syscall) report an error if the PID 'm killing doesn't exist?? | 05:11 |

| abelli | doesnt work and say you need to run it as root | 05:55 |
| smurfix | pitti: I don't think udevd is the culprit, though | 05:55 |
| pitti | abelli: the hardened kernel restricts the access to /proc | 05:55 |
| pitti | smurfix: I still think it's a kernel bug | 05:55 |
| abelli | pitti: it worked | 05:55 |
| lamont_r | bradb: that is, I don't care about the namespace collision from the union - I just want to have the ability to file against the source package. | 05:56 |

| pitti | smurfix: can you please safe (part of) the log somewhere? | 06:46 |
| smurfix | pitti: the fact that everything's logged three times doesn't exactly help | 06:46 |
| smurfix | pitti: /var/log/syslog's still there | 06:46 |
| pitti | smurfix: actually I wanted to check which events are coming to udev | 06:46 |
| Kamion | mdz: that's fine for /var/log/*, but please don't gzip the cdebconf stuff; doing that will break base-config | 06:46 |

| pitti | smurfix: I just can't ssh any more (I was just thrown out) | 06:46 |
| Kamion | mdz: that might make better sense | 06:47 |
| Kamion | I could have sworn there was an upstream bug about compressing logs | 06:47 |
| pitti | smurfix: another idea, just for testing: | 06:47 |
| Kamion | mdz: You didn't want prebaseconfig in casper anyway, IIRC ... | 06:47 |
| pitti | smurfix: right before reinstalling hal, could you do "sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal stop"? | 06:47 |

| mdz | Kamion: is the db_x_save still necessary if I skip the debconf/priority hack? | 06:48 |
| Kamion | mdz: yes | 06:48 |
| smurfix | pitti: /dev/pts got unmounted | 06:48 |
| Kamion | mdz: at least I think so. cdebconf only saves the database between menu entries, by default. | 06:49 |
| smurfix | pitti: you can now get back | 06:49 |
| mdz | I don't think that's in debconf's confmodule | 06:49 |
| Kamion | no | 06:49 |
| smurfix | pitti: do it yourself ;-) | 06:49 |
| pitti | okay | 06:49 |
| Kamion | you could echo it and read the result ... | 06:49 |
| === T-None is now known as T-Bone | ||
| mdz | or add the functionality to debconf... | 06:49 |
| Kamion | I'd prefer not, it's a very cdebconf-specific extension that relies on knowledge of how d-i works | 06:50 |
| mdz | echoing it seems like major XXX material | 06:50 |
| mdz | and I've been trying to reduce the XXX count in casper, not increase it :-/ | 06:50 |
| Kamion | I don't think echoing it is a big deal; the debconf protocol is plain-text and well-documented for a reason | 06:51 |
| mdz | I'm down to 3 :-) | 06:51 |
| mdz | ok | 06:51 |
| mdz | to fd 1 or fd 3? | 06:51 |
| Kamion | it's not very nice, but it's tolerable | 06:51 |
| Kamion | fd 1 | 06:51 |
| Kamion | er, assuming that was your debconf communication fd, which it is by default | 06:51 |
| mdz | echo "X_SAVE" | 06:52 |
| mdz | read resultcode resulttext | 06:52 |
| mdz | something like that? | 06:52 |
| Kamion | yeah | 06:52 |
| Kamion | if it goes into debconf, one could probably argue that it shouldn't be X_ any more :-) | 06:52 |
| Kamion | post-sarge we all need to sit down and go over the debconf/cdebconf extensions and get the sane ones into the standard | 06:52 |
| Kamion | mdz: is there nowhere that you could use the cdebconf confmodule to do it? | 06:53 |
| mdz | Kamion: . /initrd/usr/share/debconf/confmodule | 06:55 |
| Hwolf | Is anyone here knowledgable about Postscript / Cups? | 06:56 |
| pitti | Hwolf: what's up? | 06:57 |
| mdz | hmm, ick | 06:57 |
| mdz | multiple dpkg-reconfigures means multiple db saves | 06:58 |
| mdz | I guess I should revert that split | 06:58 |
| pitti | smurfix: hmm, I restored your original udev for now and purged the logs | 06:58 |
| Hwolf | pitti: I've got a fresh warty install here, set up my printer, same box, same drivers. Works fine from OO.org, but printing from firefox/thunderbird/postscript viewer results in anything but prints. Cups going down or errors, or nothing at all, mostly. | 06:58 |
| mdz | though, hopefully that's only config.dat | 06:58 |
| smurfix | Hwolf: That kind of question is best asked in #ubuntu | 06:58 |
| mdz | if it's saving templates.dat, that's costing a lot of memory | 06:58 |
| Kamion | it should only save if there's a change | 06:58 |
| Hwolf | smurfix: I've tried for half a day, and on the forums too. :-S | 06:58 |
| pitti | Hwolf: please file a bug and append /var/log/cups/error.log | 06:58 |
| Kamion | should> "I think that's the current behaviour" rather than "it ought to be this way", IYSWIM | 06:59 |
| pitti | Hwolf: or send the cups log and a description to ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com | 06:59 |
| Hwolf | smurfix: Just trying to narrow down if it is my config this time, since I've had warty working with this printer / box before | 06:59 |
| mdz | Kamion: how awful is my fontconfig hack in your opinion? | 06:59 |
| mdz | there will be other cases like that, and we ought to have a standard way of doing it | 06:59 |
| pitti | smurfix: but /etc/init.d/udev restart won't start udevd, though | 06:59 |
| pitti | smurfix: I used a foreground instance, but to really repair it you need to reboot (or find out what's wrong) | 07:00 |
| mdz | I should skip the defoma part, too | 07:00 |
| mdz | maybe it should be a debconf template in fontconfig? | 07:00 |
| mdz | which I could preseed? | 07:01 |
| Kamion | why is it regenerating in the first place, rather than checking if it's up to date and if so exiting? | 07:02 |
| Kamion | came from #173949 apparently | 07:03 |
| mdz | dunno | 07:03 |
| mdz | even if it did, it would probably be quite slow | 07:03 |
| mdz | presumably it needs non-trivial information from the fonts | 07:03 |
| smurfix | pitti: it didn't restart from init.d because the udev database was still there. That's non-fatal though, udevsend will start udevd on its own when necessary. Anyway hotplugging still works. | 07:03 |
| Kamion | I guess if the cache format can change between versions of fontconfig, it needs to regenerate, or something | 07:03 |
| pitti | smurfix: okay, fine | 07:03 |
| smurfix | pitti: you done on my box? | 07:04 |
| Kamion | mdz: mm, so what are we doing at the moment for stuff that needs that information? | 07:04 |
| pitti | smurfix: I copied the log to my servr | 07:04 |
| pitti | smurfix: right now I don't know what to do further | 07:04 |
| mdz | Kamion: in this case, we know that the cache is in fact up-to-date, and we only want to effect the changes to the config file | 07:04 |
| Kamion | oh, the livefs build process updates the cache? | 07:04 |
| mdz | yes, as part of the process of installing fontconfig | 07:05 |
| mdz | the only reason we reconfigure it is to enable subpixel rendering on laptops | 07:05 |
| Kamion | mdz: how about making fontconfig.postinst not regenerate the cache if DEBCONF_RECONFIGURE=1? | 07:06 |
| mdz | Kamion: I thought it was naughty to pay attention to DEBCONF_RECONFIGURE | 07:06 |
| Kamion | would that break other things? I assume *some* config file changes can require the cache to be rebuilt | 07:06 |
| mdz | my understanding is that the cache only corresponds to the fonts on the system | 07:06 |
| mdz | and not the config file | 07:06 |
| Kamion | well, it is a bit, but no worse than adding any other environment variable to the postinst API I think | 07:06 |
| mdz | hm, the man page claims that it checks timestamps and does incremental updates | 07:07 |
| Kamion | I think it's better than FONTCONFIG_NO_CACHE_REGEN, assuming that nobody ever needs the cache rebuilt automatically on reconfigure | 07:07 |
| mdz | I wonder why it's so horrifically slow | 07:07 |
| Kamion | not when called with -f it doesn't | 07:08 |
| mdz | I can't say that with authority, but it's the impression I got from jdub | 07:08 |
| mdz | oh, so it is | 07:08 |
| Kamion | -f --force | 07:08 |
| Kamion | Force re-generation of apparently up-to-date cache | 07:08 |
| Kamion | files, overriding the timestamp checking. | 07:08 |
| Kamion | how about only using -f if [ "$DEBCONF_RECONFIGURE" != 1 ] ? | 07:08 |
| Kamion | if you're reconfiguring, you want the cache to be rebuilt if it's totally fucked (e.g. missing), but not otherwise, I'd've thought | 07:09 |
| pitti | mdz: hm, you have the same logs as I got on smurfix' machine | 07:09 |
| Kamion | and if you really need that you can still run fc-cache -f by hand | 07:09 |
| mdz | yes, I think the postinst ought to only do what should be necessary for configuring the package | 07:10 |
| mdz | haven't looke dat that bug you mentioned | 07:10 |

| smurfix | Kamion: might have been caused by the fact that the cdebconf.conf in src/ isn't exactly useable for anything | 08:04 |
| === decko vai pra casa! | ||
| smurfix | Kamion: .. which is why my patch creates a new one in src/test/ | 08:04 |
| Kamion | smurfix: uh ... I'd rather not have one of those in the source package | 08:07 |
| Kamion | smurfix: doc/testing.txt explicitly documents that you have to tune it depending on what you're testing, and I often munge src/test/cdebconf.conf a lot | 08:07 |
| Kamion | dunno | 08:08 |
| Kamion | it's usable at the moment if you're making cdebconf talk to your real debconf database, which is an ultimate goal for cdebconf to be able to do reliably | 08:09 |
| smurfix | Kamion: Hmm, I'd rather have the one in src/test not touch anythoing outside that directory by default | 08:10 |
| === Lovechild [~dnielsen@82.150.72.35] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||

| === marcin_ant [~marcin@www.e-dev.tele2.pl] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | smurfix: that's true of src/test/ certainly. dunno, it's just a matter of how much stuff I have to be careful not to accidentally commit when I'm testing in an svn working copy | 08:16 |

| Kamion | lifeless: ok | 10:26 |
| lifeless | Kamion: does it happen on every changeset, or just some [how reproducible is it] | 10:27 |
| Kamion | lifeless: it happened on all three I committed after upgrading to baz 1.1 | 10:27 |
| Kamion | I haven't checked the ones since then | 10:27 |
| lifeless | ok, thanks. | 10:27 |
| Kamion | (that was just up to the bug report) | 10:27 |
| Kamion | let's see ... | 10:27 |
| lifeless | so the sequence is 1) commit to remote archive, 2) mirror from remote archive to other remote archive. | 10:28 |
| lamont_r | Kamion: symlink fixed. will investigate what happened. | 10:28 |
| lamont_r | fabbione: thoughts on 6035? | 10:28 |
| Kamion | lifeless: right, mirroring from the same host so that .arch-cache is used; .arch-params/hook specifically | 10:28 |
