ograbut there are already a good bunch of them01:19
schweebyo01:19
cartel_schweeb, im trying to apply a top level patch to linux-source-2.6.1001:19
cartel_ /usr/src/linux-patches/i386/2.6.10/unpatch/debian01:20
cartel_No version.Debian file, assuming pristine Linux 2.6.1001:20
cartel_what the hell?01:20
cartel_does this not work under ubuntu?01:20
cartel_the wiki page says we use dpatches but we dont? what the hell?01:21
schweebhere's how I'd do it01:22
schweebvanilla kernel01:22
schweebapply patch01:22
schweebuse make-kpkg01:22
cartel_im trying to build linux-image01:22
schweebdicking around with the linux-source packages isn's something I usually do01:22
schweebmake-kpkg should do everything you need it to do01:22
cartel_you dont understand01:23
schweeboh, I do01:23
cartel_im trying to build a modified linux-image with a top level patch applied01:23
schweebyes01:23
cartel_make-kpkg wont apply the rest of the patches01:23
cartel_what i would do under debian is depatch the official tree, apply patch, repatch with debian and then im away laughing01:24
schweebnot always possible...01:24
cartel_why cant i do something as simple as unpatch?01:24
cartel_bug?01:24
schweebbecause even after unpatching, the kernel sources aren't necessarily vanilla01:25
cartel_they should be01:25
schweebin an ideal world, yes01:25
schweebbut stuff is taken out for licensing reasons, etc...01:25
schweebyou're probably going to have to manually apply the patches one by one, and use make-kpkg01:26
cartel_the patch should be an exact delta from the vanilla sources...01:26
cartel_otherwise it is impossible to debianise a vanilla kernel01:26
schweebuse make-kpkg!01:27
cartel_at the very least i should be able to unpatch01:27
cartel_ok ill try01:27
cartel_so you are saying that not even linux-source-2.6.10_2.6.10.orig.tar.gz is vanilla01:27
cartel_i have to get from kernel.org01:27
cartel_yes?01:28
schweebright01:28
schweebI'm pretty sure it even mentions this on the wiki and in the README.Debian01:28
cartel_whhatt  ehell01:28
cartel_i highly suggest kernel team put down the crack pipe01:29
schweebUbuntu uses a pretty aggressive amount of patches in the first place01:29
schweebyou're going to have to manually evaluate what patches are reasonable, and which ones are crack01:29
cartel_i know01:29
cartel_but my end goal is a linux-image just like the ubuntu one01:30
cartel_with one extra patch01:30
schweebdidn't I mention this last night?01:30
cartel_unfortunately that patch is top level01:30
schweebfabbione is already working on this01:30
ogracartel_, tried #ubuntu-kernel ?01:30
cartel_where are his work?01:30
schweebask him01:30
schweebit's probably not releasable yet01:30
cartel_since i have already done this in sarge i should be able to do it in ubuntu with no trouble assuming the maintainers follow policy01:31
cartel_save fabbione the trouble01:31
ajmitch_morning cartel_01:32
cartel_the fact is you may as well not bother including unpatch if it doesnt even work01:32
cartel_i mean thats just stupid seriously01:33
vasihey, i'm trying to search at https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/distros/ubuntu/+bugs to make sure my bug isn't already reported...it doesn't seem to work01:34
schweebmalone isn't fully implemented yet01:34
schweebsearch bugzilla01:34
vasiah, it's the same DB?01:34
schweebno01:35
cartel_schweeb: lets see if the patches even apply to vanilla source properly ;)01:35
schweebbugzilla is still the primary bug tracker for Ubuntu01:35
cartel_unless you are reportbug against a package in universe01:36
cartel_use bugzilla01:36
schweebdo reportbugs from universe go to Ubuntu?01:36
schweebif they don't, I wouldn't use it.01:36
cartel_reportbug doesnt even go to bugzilla man01:37
cartel_it just sends an email01:37
schweebI understand.01:37
schweebI mean does it get sent to Ubuntu or Debian mail list01:38
schweebuniverse is NOT supported by the Debian Maintainer of the package... so the bug report shouldn't go to them01:38
ogravasi, you can file bugs about malone in malone ;)01:38
vasilol ogra, sure01:38
cartel_i know01:38
ogracartel_, reportbug sends to ubuntu-users@...01:40
schweebah, good01:40
cartel_schweeb: there is a wikipage for building ones own kernel-image that mentions dpatches. linux-patch-ubuntu isnt a dpatch01:40
schweebnote: reading debian.README in /usr/share/doc/linux-source-2.6.10 says to use make-kpkg....01:41
schweeband I know there's documentation for automatically patching using make-kpkg somewhere01:42

cartel_dox i have seen were for warty now outdated01:47
cartel_eg, dpatches..01:47
schweebcartel_: none of this is distro specific or branch specific01:47
\shschweeb: nono..no time for drinking (ok coffee yes) writing a difficult howto ;)01:48
schweeband documentation for make-kpkg and friends is included with their respective packages01:48
cartel_well the instructions are no longer relevant so yes it is specific, you may not wish it to be but it is.01:48

\shanyone interested to test the first stage of a howto description?02:16
Burgundaviasure02:16
\shhttps://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HowToBuildDebianPackagesFromScratch02:16
\shbut hard stuff02:16
\shbug fixing later on ;) write everything to sh@sourcecode.de I will take care about it later...02:17
schweeb\sh: you set up a chroot AND a pbuilder? isn't that a bit redundant?02:21
\shschweeb: no ;)02:21
\shschweeb: finally i messed my system with all my tests ;) thats the reason why, I want to have a clean build enviroment and clean chroot right now ;)02:22
\shand I don't like complaints from user: "Hey because of your howto i screwed my system" thats the reason why the setup is just like this, right now, later on, i will change it :)02:23
schweebmaybe you should mention that the chroot is optional02:24
\shwell, the pbuilder inside the chroot is optional ;)02:24
\shthe pbuilder env can be setup in the mainsystem.02:25
\shi need a pause02:25
schweebI don't see much reason for the chroot at all :)02:25
schweebas long as you don't randomly go around manually make installing stuff, you should be fine02:26
schweeb:)02:26
\shschweeb: u gave the answer ;)02:26
schweebso, the chroot is optional, as long as you're not a total jerk!02:26
schweeb(the pbuilder is however, definitely not optional)02:27
\shschweeb: playing users are jerks at all, old support helpline thoughts ;)02:27
\shschweeb: ok, let's write it like this in the pbuilder section: the pbuilder enviroment can also be build outside the chroot, inside chroot this pbuilder env is only for hardcores who are messing their host system with randomly compiled and installed source packages ...02:28
\shschweeb: and I'm a jerk as well...I'm messing my system from time to time :)02:29
schweebheh02:29
schweebI would suggest mentioning the --prefix configure option02:29
schweebso people don't randomly go make installing to /02:29
schweebbut still get the benefit of seeing what the installed directory structure looks like02:30
\shschweeb: hehe...check the source of ming....it's a quite funny things...bugs over bugs ;)02:30
\shmainly ming-0.2a is a funny package02:30
schweebanother downside to your method is that users then have 3 separate Ubuntu environments to keep updated02:31
schweebwell, 2 if they're building on a non Ubuntu box02:31
schweebbut for most users, the main system, the chroot, and the pbuilder...02:32
\shschweeb: or 5 if they're playing around with breezy ;)02:32
schweebwhy target anything else?02:32
schweebchanges to hoary aren't too useful anymore02:32
\shschweeb: it's only a walk through...and hoary is stable enough to show some stuff...:)02:33
schweebheh02:33
\shdidn't play with breezy right now, I setup the chroot for breezy but didn't try to compile stuff, waiting for the g++ transition02:34
schweebis everything even rebuilt with gcc4 yet? the buildds are probably still pretty busy rebuilding main02:35
\shI remember the time, when I wrote a howto for gentoo users how to create a livecd with catalyst with xfce4, firefox, thunderbird and openoffice02:35
\shschweeb: thats another thing :)02:35
\shsome gentoo users send me hate letters, like: "Why do u have to compile ooffice from scratch"02:36
\shand I send them back: "Because it's fun, and you know how much work that is to build a nice livecd"02:37
schweebgentoo users complaining about compiling?02:37
schweebhow ironic02:37
\shmostly if they're using openoffice-bin ebuilds ;)02:37
schweebI'm pretty anti-gentoo-ricer02:38
\shI'm not :)02:38
schweebhrm, I should do my taxes02:39
\shbut only because I can setup my servers with special kernel optimizations for stuff like gameservers etc. and for that, binary distributions are quite heavy to maintain...:(02:39
\shIMHO :)02:40
schweebwhat do kernel optimizations have to do with the user space, may I ask?02:41
\shschweeb: there are some things, you can do on the kernel source, to optimize speed and other things. there are a couple of patches in the world, which gives u more optimization for networks etc. so it's quite nice for gameservers. but only just because the supported gameservers like counterstrike are writte terribly02:46
\shneed another can of coffee..02:46
schweebright, but anything you change in kernel space helps you out in user space no matter whether you compiled your user space or whether it's a binary distro user space02:48
\shschweeb: thing is, those gameserver are binary only...02:51
\shso u can't change things in the userspace and you have to adjust things in kernel space...02:51
=== schweeb is still confused
\shschweeb: check counterstrike servers for linux...they're provided binary only02:52
schweebI wasn't commenting on the binary servers02:53
schweebyou said binary distributions are heavy to maintain.... and that kernels are harder to patch on binary distributions (completely untrue)02:53
schweebI'm saying you can do the same kernel things using a binary based distro like Ubuntu that you can do with a source based distro like Gentoo02:54
\shschweeb: right, but the way how to maintain it is quite different.02:55
schweebmeh.02:55
\shschweeb: it's easier to maintain a patchset and a vanilla kernel source inside a ports/portage tree, than to create a lets say rpm source package or debian source package and putting them as binary packages on the server.02:56
\shwe did it @lycos europe. playin around with hundreds of debian (woody) based servers,02:57
\shand have the time to create packages for your systems.02:57
schweebmake-kpkg ?02:58
schweebam I the only one that knows about make-pkg?02:58
\sh:) yeah :) but to maintain 5 different patchsets of kernel patches and provide them to the right machines :) it takes some time to setup this infrastructure..02:59
\shand for 13 or lets say under 50 servers it's easier to setup a cvs tree and provide some ebuilds for different purposes02:59
=== schweeb still hasn't been convinced of anything :p
\sh@lycos it was just like this: create patches for 5 different x86 kernel layouts, test them, test them with applications applied, make debian packages, update 5 different apt-get repositories, update all the machines and distribute the new packages via cfengine03:01
\shthe infrastructure was different than I have it here :)03:01
schweebyou could have appended a string to the version to each of the 5 different kernels :p03:03
schweebsince they're named linux-image-2.x.x-blah anyways ;)03:03
\shschweeb: no..:) all of our 5 different x86 boxes had different work orders ;) so we had a couple more self made packages03:04
\shand the sources.list of those were different at this time03:04
Burgundaviaogra, poing03:05
\shbut it was more the problem of the purchase department03:05
\shnevermind  :) you can do all the work with all distros if you want....via locally installed version of redhat network for rpm based distros, or local apt-get repositories for debian based distros etc. pp.03:06
\shfinally I worked with all of them...03:06

Burgundaviaogra, that useful?03:08
ograi saw today that grass 6.0 and mapserver is in debian already, will make it a lot easier...03:08

ograhmm,  Avpython - for Arcgis ?03:10
ograwhy is that not useful ?03:11
Burgundaviaarcgis is a commericial gis app03:11
ograwhats the prob with that....03:11
Burgundaviafigured we would want to concentrate on a complete oss stack03:11
Burgundaviaarcgis is a bitch to install, btw, I have done it03:12
ograthe plan is to encourage ISVs to provide ubuntu packages and to have a good default set of OSS apps03:12
Burgundaviaahh03:12
Burgundaviaok03:12
BurgundaviaI will list under "need commericial app"03:12
ograso something like avpython could go into a ubuntu-gis-commercial metapackage03:13
Burgundaviayah03:13
Burgundaviathere is a ton of stuff out there03:13
Burgundavianeed to weed out a lot of the chaff03:13
ograthe free stuff in a ubuntu-gis pkg...03:13
Burgundaviaonce we figure out what is in debian, we can figure out where in the stack it fits, and what else occupies that niche03:14

Treenaksthere is one? :P11:49
tsengwell ive seen some really broken ones11:49
Treenaksoh yes11:49
tsengthe guy that did 3rd party mono totally effed his snapshot11:50
tsengi couldnt easily uupdate on it11:50
tsengas he named it releasefinalver-enoch11:50
Treenakstseng: a bit about version numbers would be nice too11:51
tsengyep11:51
tsengthe new maint guide covers most things, but misses a few that are important to motu11:51
tsengand is boring to read11:51
Treenaksespecially that11:51
tsengi think it would be useful if it started with cdbs, and the sample package11:52

ajmitchsince it's only a 400MHz headless box anyway - I run GNOME using a remote Xnest ;)01:26
Ben2004ukhey,  i would really like to get involved in the ubuntu community,  i was just wondering how01:27
ajmitchgreat, you want to do packaging, coding, doc writing, other?01:28
ajmitchI'm sure there's plenty around ;)01:28
Ben2004ukwell ive never worked on a project before - done a bit of coding - C, Java, Ruby,  and I can write English fairly well :)01:28
Ben2004ukbut i'm willing to do anything really01:29
ajmitchnot done any debian/ubuntu packaging?01:29
ajmitchok01:29
ajmitchwell, there's a few of us MOTUs01:29
ajmitchwho have to care for about 15000+ packages in universe01:29
Ben2004ukno,  so hoping someone could point me in the direction to start....01:29
ajmitchwww.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/MOTU is what we are01:29
ajmitchwhich has some resources linked on that, if you care to help out in that area01:29
Ben2004ukcool01:30
ajmitchthe massive sync from sid has just been done, so we need to get on top of merging patches, doing QA, etc :)01:31
ajmitchI'm not sure who'll still be around here in the next week or two01:31
ajmitchsome people have started travelling already to the conference01:31
Ben2004ukoh right01:31
Ben2004ukso how should I start?01:32
ajmitchfor packaging, there are various materials such as the debian new maintainers guide to look at01:32
ajmitchwe're only working on breezy now, which is a little rough around the edges at the moment ;)01:33
Ben2004uk:D01:33
Ben2004ukyeah cause i looked in here just before hoary was released but i thought it was the wrong time to start as everyone seemed really busy01:34
ajmitchhttps://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UniverseCxxTransition <-- we've got a lot of packages that will eventually need fixed up for g++ 4.001:34
ajmitchalthough 3.3 is still default for c++ compiling01:35
Ben2004ukso i take it, they would need to be compiled from source in 4.0,  checked for bugs again then packaged then checked then added to universe?01:36
ajmitchthe source will already be in universe01:39
ajmitchonce g++-4.0 is default, we have to compile, test, fix, upload fixes01:39
ajmitchwe only do source uploads to ubuntu01:39
Ben2004ukwhens 4.0 default?01:39
Ben2004ukoh rtight01:39
ajmitchdunno yet, check with jbailey :)01:40

=== Danten [~danten@h98n5c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu
ajmitchAmaranth: yeah, afaik01:41
jbaileyThe problem is that there are package renames to be done and all that to make upgrades smooth.  We have to figure out how to sanely do that and 1) Not diverge from Debian to the point that it's hard to resync. 2) Not have a tiny MOTU base doing working that would usually be spread out over 1000 developers.01:41
ajmitchjbailey: if we get common agreement with debian on versioning, etc, it should make it easier for debian when we push changes back01:42
AmaranthIf everything is going to get a new package name how are upgrades going to work?01:43
jbaileyajmitch: Dude, Debian usually can't agree with itself on transitions like this - We're not going to get a simply blanket agreement on the right way to do things.01:43
AmaranthI bet they'll be willing to accept it after it's done though.01:44
ajmitchjbailey: true, sadly01:44
ajmitchhah01:44

=== Amaranth wakes up
Amaranthoh, where was i?01:44

jbaileyajmitch: I don't?01:45
ajmitchjbailey: was referring to Amaranth :)01:45
jbaileyajmitch: Ah.  I was about to break out with a "When I was your age...."01:45
ajmitchhow much older are you?01:45
jbaileyAmaranth: I think size of the team is less important in this case than the CoC and the TB.01:45
jbaileyAmaranth: I don't know that MOTU would scale to 1000 without problems, but we at least have tools in place to reduce flame wars and get technical decisions made.01:46
Amaranthtrue01:46
AmaranthTB and sabdfl01:47
Ben2004ukso where do u recommend me starting - reading over Debian New Maintainers' Guide? and then coming back after udu?01:47
AmaranthThey make a decision and if you don't like it too bad. :)01:47
ajmitchBen2004uk: or if you have packages that you find that need fixing, fix them up, provide source packages for us to review & we'll see what we can do :)01:48
