JReamu: you think this guide is a good idea?11:20
amuhmm, it a good idea, best place for it create a new KubuntuPackageing page, probably others will help you ... 11:21

dholbachwhen is motaboy normally online?01:03
Riddellnot sure, not seen him for a bit01:03
dholbachhis metabar_<version>.orig.tar.gz is missing01:03
Riddellcan't find it on the server, I'll e-mail him too01:05

Riddellhe's on the server (frode) but not on a channel01:29
Riddellhello hunger 01:29
dholbachkrusader seems to be already in01:30
hungerNow ksysguard claims my cpu freq is 0:-(01:30
Riddelldholbach: but not krusader 1.6001:31
hungerThat does seem a bit slow...01:31
Riddelloh wait, it is in breezy01:31
dholbachRiddell: apt-cache show krusader | grep Version01:32
dholbachah yes :-)01:32
dholbachand please tell people not to package natively :-)01:33
Riddelldholbach: well if you're going to ignore packages just because they're already in you may as well scrap digikam01:33
Riddellwhat do you mean package natively?01:33
dholbachRiddell: if we have the same version and nothing changes01:33
dholbachno .orig.tar.gz and no .diff.gz :-)01:33
dholbachRiddell: if somebody wants me to review a package with newer version or fixes, then it's fine with me01:34
Riddelldigikam seems to be the same version01:35
dholbachi found some other manual merges from debian on the list already :-)01:36
dholbachhow close do you all work with the guys packaging KDE stuff?01:52
Riddellwe are the guys packaging KDE stuff01:52
dholbachthe guys putting their KDE stuff on MOTUNewPackages? :-)01:52
Riddellfairly closely, I think they've all come through me at some point01:53
dholbachyou should tell them to use pbuilder, i ran across the 2nd package with "Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0)" :-(01:53
Riddellwhat is pbuilder?01:54
dholbachhttp://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto01:54
dholbachit builds packages for you in a chroot, so you can be sure the build process runs in a separated environment and you tackle most of the packaging bugs01:55
Riddellsounds like good stuff01:55
dholbachyes, it absolutely is01:55
Riddellhow would that help debhelper >= 4.0.0?01:55
dholbachthe first thing we tell MOTU hopefuls01:55
dholbachthe pbuilder just installs the crack that's in build-depends, plus the usual debootstrap stuff01:56
dholbachin the chrooted environment the first thing will be: configure-run will complain01:56
dholbach(because of missing build-depends)01:58
JRedholbach: i will soon send you the katapult package02:01
dholbachJRe: you mean put it on  wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTUNewPackages ?02:01
Riddellamu: could you look at this and see if you can confirm on a PPC or not?  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10409102:02
dholbachJRe: because if you put it on the wikipage, it will catch more eyes02:02
amuRiddell: confirmed02:03
amusame here02:03
Riddellamu: does it happen with all media or just dvds?02:04
amuRiddell: only DVD's and only on a ibook, pb is fine 02:05
Riddellamu: hmm, sounds like an ibook issue rather then a kubuntu issue02:07

=== allee hides ashamed
RiddellJRe: URL for intro?04:32
Riddellallee, not JRe 04:32
alleegoogle 'cdbs' and 4th hit is a good one.  https://wiki.duckcorp.org/DebianPackagingTutorial/CDBS04:34
alleeRiddell: search debian-mentors there are lot's of refs.   There another very good page, only error is that at the end there's a KDE flame ;)04:35
=== allee ponders where his cdbs link collection is
alleeJRe:  Impressive build-deps.  Nevertheless libc6-i686  is no good on ppc.   I would also remove  lib<x> if lib<x>-dev is already there.04:42
alleeJRe: I don't now katapult but I usally start with debuilder,cdbs,kdelibs4-dev and try it.  A later pbuilder run shows if something missing04:43
JReallee:  in fact i have made the build-deps using the script on the debian maint-guide may be it's not godd?04:43
JReallee: okay thanks!04:43
alleeJRe: the script is right, but you should do it in a clean environment.   See -686 gotcha04:45
JReallee: -686 gotcha ???????04:45
alleeJRe: using pbuilder before a new upload is much better than relying on the script (IMO)04:45
alleeJRe: the libc6-686 build-dep.   Other archs will not be happy.04:46
JReokay ;)04:46
alleeJRe: and tell upstream that Makefile should not be in the tarball.   Bloats diff without any reason 04:47
JReallee: okay i'll him! I have so many things to learn before beeing a good packager!04:48
KaiLwow, high traffic here :)04:49
alleeJRe:  subscribe to debian-mentors list.   Much boring noise, but many educative threads 04:49

alleeHi KaiL, don't worry I shut up soon ;)04:51
KaiLyou don't need to04:51

uniqanyone using kubuntu on ibook/powerbook ? - thinking of getting one of them.. probably a ibook 12".. 07:47
Riddelluniq: amu seems to like them07:48
uniqso i guess (k)ubuntu runs on them without huge problems? 07:50
amu:) 07:52
amulet's say works for me07:52
KaiLhehe07:54
amuprever the ibook, cause accu runs 2 times longer compared to the pb, pb has more power, is faster, has a pcmica :) ibook you need that fucking usb-wlan       07:54
amuibook need some tricky config that sleep is also supported, pb works everything out of the box07:55
KaiLexcept WLAN?07:59
amu12" ibook compared with the 15" pb, finally the is a price difference :) probably a 12" pb rocks, never owned such a thing :) proably if there's a new G5 12" i'll try :)    07:59
amuright, wlan never works, till broadcom will publish their specs, compared to M$, it's like M$ put their OS under the gpl :)  08:01
KaiLlol08:01
KaiLis there something like ndiswrapper for ppc?08:02
amunope08:02
amuwell, on the older alu-books or older ibooks ( the first series ) wlan works ( 11mbit )  08:03
KaiLthat one isn't made by broadcom?08:04
amuBroadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g08:07
KaiLthat's the so called "airport extreme"?08:08
amuyep08:09
amuthe other, 11mbit, it's just airport08:10
amuThis chipset is a broadcom 4301 chipset. The drivers for this chipset can not be released by the manafacturers because this card has the ability to broadcast in a spectrum that is reserved for military use.08:13
amu Because of this, broadcom imposes these limitations in software. By releasing the specifications on how to get this card to work, they may be inadvertantly allowing people to broadcast on a restricted frequency, and therefore making them liable.08:14
amu08:14
KaiLlol, and they think, nobody can hack the normal driver to do this too? Idiots...08:15
amuthey tried but noone was offical successful :) even with a mofified ndiswrapper 08:23
KaiL...official08:23
KaiLif you are, you'll have some big holes in your door next day? ;)08:24
amu:)08:31
uniqshit.. why didn't i focus on this channel.. 09:28
uniqi ordered the ibook 12".. 09:29
uniqamu: how do you solve the wlan-issue? 09:31
amuon the ibook with usb-wlan 09:32
uniqok.. any card you can recommend? 09:33
amuabout 20Euro for a Dlink DWL-122 09:33
uniqsupport for kismet and all?09:33
amunever tried :) i'll not do such illegal scan things *g* 09:33
uniqillegal? :)09:34
amu;-)09:34
uniqto put it in another way.. i have a 3com atmel based.. that can't find any accesspoints by itself.09:34
amuyou should ask you administraor about access *runningaway* 09:36
uniqdo you call the airport administration to get the essid and stuff for the public wlan? :)09:37
amu;) 09:41
uniqDWL-122 on it's way :)10:00
uniqamu: you think i should cancel the ibook order and get the powerbook? 10:25
uniqthe only big thing is sleep right? - do I pay the extra $ to get 1.5Ghz, dvd-r and the extra firewire-port? :)10:28
uniqI'll leave it with the ibook.. 10:33
amuuniq: depends what you need and how much money you want spend :) 10:47
amuyou get a ibook for 900E a pb costs 1600E10:48
uniqI ordered the ibook 12", 512M, 60G, no bluetooth.10:48
amufirefire never used it realy, my extern hdd support both, usb is fast enough and just works 10:48
uniqI think it'll fit my needs well.. 10:49
uniqI'm basically just replacing a huge noisy monster of a fujitsu amd64-thingie.. 10:49
amuDVD, dont need it also, i've 2 desktops with DVD burners ... so save to money and order 1 gig ram  10:49
uniqI've burned one dvd on this laptop.. just to test.. don't need it.10:50
uniqI've got a amd64 3700+.. it's running at 800mhz (out of 2.4Ghz) don't need it.. 10:51
amuyep, sometimes it's easier, well but i can park them on the hdd and move it to the desktop 10:51
amuso DVD isnt realy usefull for me 10:51
uniqdo you have sleep working?10:53
