karthik085Hello, My name is Karthik. I would like to actively contribute to Kubuntu and KDE. What is the process I need to go to become one of the maintainers?06:32
fabbionehi karthik085 06:33
fabbionea good place to start is #ubuntu-motu and #kubuntu-devel06:33
fabbionekarthik085: the first step to become a maintainer is to become a "MOTU"06:34
fabbione(very short version of the story)06:34
karthik085Hey fabbione. I applied to become a MOTU.06:36
fabbioneok did you read all the documentation on how to become one?06:36
karthik085Yup.06:36
fabbionebecause you need to show up during TB/CC meetings and prove yourself as a valid MOTU before you can be one06:36
fabbionei think the best is to ask in -motu how to do so06:37
karthik085I will be attending the one on Tuesday06:37
fabbionei personally don't recall all the details and i don't want to put you in the wrong direction06:37
karthik085Do you know what skills one need to become a maintainer?06:37
fabbioneit depends what your skills are06:38
fabbionethere is always something to do :)06:38
karthik085:-)06:38
karthik085I am good at programming, especially C++ and Java. Currently, I am learning Ruby. I also designed/developed various projects for my university. Recently, a paper based on my program got accpted in a conference.06:39
fabbionekarthik085: sounds good.. i think you need to find yourself a place where to apply these skills...06:41
fabbionewe don't exactly force people to do something they don't want to :)06:42
fabbioneand talking with the MOTU's is the best you can do imho06:42

fabbionehey infinity 08:24
infinityYo Fabio.08:24
fabbioneinfinity: what's up?08:25
infinityWorking to get a bunch of upstream version bumps ready in the next 2 days, since I just went back and re-read the release schedule and checked the calendar. :)08:25
fabbioneehehe08:25
\shquestion: the upstreamfreeze is only for main, or is it also for universe? 08:26
infinityAlso, wishing customs would release my laptop and send it to me.08:26
pittielmo: 08:26
pittielmo: please sync pmount from Debian experimental08:26
infinity\sh : Just main.  Universe gets some slack cut, since we don't officially support it anyway.08:26
\shwonderful :)08:27
jdub\sh: syncing stops, but uploading has been fine thus far (without approval)08:27
pitti\sh: right, that's entirely MOTU driven; if they accept a new upstream release 2 days before release, that's fine08:27
Amaranthhehe08:27
infinityFOr some value of "fine"... A little common sense would be nice.08:27
pittiof course08:27
Amaranthsince universe doesn't ship on a CD i don't see why it should freeze at all08:27
\shAmaranth, we need to get some apps stable in the end...and sometimes it's better to have an older stable version, then an unstable new version ,-)08:28
fabbioneWOW.. i think i never managed to hang d-i so badly.. getting the screen to switch to another tty :)08:28
crimsunI think we've hashed this one before and reached a consensus that a stable release really needs to be stable, even for universe.08:28
womblefabbione: I saw a similar problem with a Hoary pre-release08:29
fabbionewomble: nah.. i am messing with it :)08:29
wombleOh, OK.  Might want to get that one fixed before release... <grin>08:29
fabbionewomble: no.. really? :)08:30
ajmitchAmaranth: and that it's trickier to accept uploads to universe while leaving main frozen08:30
\shbut actually I would really like to have some comments on this showstopper...should we put this app into universe as a replacement of the old package, or should we w8 for debian and kick the old one out of the repos?08:30
\shhttps://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1145608:30
wombleEver seen Dumb and Dumber?  I'm thinking the "IOU 1 ferrari" scene here08:30
\sh(actually it's not only an app)08:31
infinity\sh : Does anything {build-,}depend on it?08:31
\shinfinity, only the packages generated directly from the source 08:32
infinity\sh : And do your packages seem to build and work fine?08:33
\shinfinity, i tried the last official "stable release" of gnuradio-core (replacement for old gnuradio-0.9) and it didn't compile with gnu c/c++ 3.4 or 4.x08:33
infinity\sh : If so, I see no issues.  Just version your package with -0ubuntu1, so a Debian -1 will be higher, and see about working with the Debian maintainer to converge the packaging/sources at some point in the future.08:33
\shthe latest cvs head is compiling and the debian maintainer was really surprised as well to see it's compiling..(i only test it for i386)08:34
infinity\sh : Debian will be doing the gcc4 transition very (VERY) soon, so the Debian packages will need updating ASAP anyway.08:34
\shinfinity, yeah read the announcement of doko on d-d08:34
Amaranthis the kernel going to get built with gcc 4?08:42
infinityAmaranth : Not for breezy.08:52
\shwell, new xorg and some new eclipse stuff nice08:52
Amaranthok, can we at least get the same version of gcc 3.4 that the kernel was actually built with? :)08:52

fabbioneKamion: yes.. sorry... i still get confused by the names10:07
fabbioneKamion: do you know about sparc/ia64/hppa?10:07
Kamionnot offhand - but I would imagine they do, the only reason powerpc (actually just powerpc with Mac partition tables) doesn't is that there isn't a standard for recording it in the partition table, and the pseudo-standard we agreed hasn't been implemented in parted yet10:08
Kamionpowerpc with IBM partition tables (e.g. RS/6000s) should be able to manage LVM just fine10:08
Kamionlikewise RAID10:08

pittiHi sabdfl 10:26
fabbionemorning mdz10:26
pittimdz: still remember the sound card hotplug discussion?10:27
mdzpitti: whether to change the default when a new sound device is hotplugged?10:28
mdzfabbione: morning10:28
pittimdz: I have a patch for g-v-m ready for some weeks10:28
pittimdz: I just didn't upload it because it is incredibly hard to tell the audio mixer to display a certain card by default10:28
pittimdz: but that's entirely unrelated to the question whether we do that in g-v-m or in the mixer applet10:29
pittimdz: I just think it is not worth the trouble of temporarily introducing huge modifications to the mixer applet if we want to have an universal event notifier in the future10:29
mdzpitti: so the g-v-m patch detects the change, but can't take the appropriate action for the mixer applet?10:31
pittimdz: well, it can also change the default card, that's no problem10:31
pittimdz: however, we wanted a "configure card..." which calls the mixer 10:31
pittimdz: of course this should show the new card by default, to make any sense10:31
pittimdz: however, that's an entirely different problem, it's just the reason why I didn't yet upload that10:32
mdzpitti: is it something we could bounty upstream for?10:32

=== ivoks [~ivoks@backup.grad.hr] has joined #ubuntu-devel
fabbioneKamion: that's a tricky problem to solve10:38
tvoRiddell: hi10:39
fabbioneKamion: because the notification file is installed with the package.. making it part of postinst is an issue...10:39
fabbioneKamion: because a kernel update with an ABI change will be recognized as fresh install10:39
fabbioneand you won't get the notification of such kernel10:39
mdzdoko: you mentioned you had been preparing new oo.o2 packages; what is the blocker?10:39

Kamionfabbione: uh, I guess - seems pretty hackish though :(10:45
dokomdz, infinity: yes10:45
=== infinity looks up.
Kamionfabbione: I see what you mean, though, it's problematic10:45
dokomdz: ahh, no, it's auto-tried ... so it should just build.10:45
fabbioneKamion: yes.. and there is no way i can change postinstall dynamically at build time because it's added by kernel-package....10:46
mdzinfinity: oo.o210:46
pittifabbione: I have the same problem with the language pack upgrade notification; writing the file in postinst is the only solution I see10:46
fabbionepitti: i can't write it in postinst.. really..10:47
Kamionpitti: with package names changing, that's tricky for the kernel10:47
Kamionso how do I clear out the notification applet's queue?10:47
infinitydoko : Indeed, OO.o2 is in needs-build on all arches.10:48
fabbioneKamion: i think it's enough you remove the files from the notification dir before executing it10:48
infinitydoko : Do any of its build-deps need some TLC?10:48
fabbioneKamion: since it's a fresh install the notification applet won't even see them10:48
pittiKamion: /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/notification-2.6.12-3-powerpc10:48
dokoinfinity: TLC?10:48
Kamionfabbione: (a) I don't execute the applet, I just start GNOME, (b) that file is shipped in the .deb so I can't remove it10:49
infinitydoko : Tender Loving Care.  Or "effort on my part".10:49
dokoinfinity: no10:49
infinityAlright.10:49
fabbioneKamion: well yes you can remove it.. it's not a config file ;)10:49
pittifabbione: /etc/kernel/postinst.d10:50
pittifabbione: I use that for linux-hardened-support, works very well10:50
fabbionepitti: ?10:50
pittifabbione: that's a hook dir for kernel postinst's10:51
pittifabbione: you can drop a file in that directory, and it will be executed; you can use that to generate the update notifications10:51
fabbionepitti: and what would be different from installing the file directly?10:52
Kamionfabbione: it's rather painful for me to mark that update-notifier hook as seen10:52
Kamionfabbione: (short of just rming the file, which I won't do)10:52
pittifabbione: you can check whether you are installing from scratch, or upgrading10:52
fabbionepitti: you will hit the same problem as Kamion told you above...10:52
Kamionfabbione: to do that, I have to write into the initial user's home directory; and I can't do that in all cases, because it might be e.g. NFS-mounted10:52
fabbionepitti: with a name change due to ABI change, you won't see the difference between a fresh install and an upgrade10:52
Kamionthe installer avoids stuff that requires it to write into the initial user's home directory for good reason10:53
Kamionfabbione: you can look for /boot/vmlinu* or similar10:53
Kamionfabbione: or I can try to get you some hint that you're running within the initial bootstrap10:53
fabbioneKamion: i am more prone to remove this notification area thingy10:54
Kamionthough that's also relatively hackish ...10:54
fabbioneit's more a problem to do than the problem that it solves10:54
fabbioneand hounetly the kernel maintainer scripts are already complex enough to add extra point of possible failures10:54
Kamionmm10:55
mvocould the hooks themself extended to better support your needs somehow?10:57
mvo(sorry for jumping in late)10:57
fabbionemvo: eheh no problem dude :)10:57
Kamionif there were a global way (not touching users' home directories) to mark a hook as seen, that might help?10:57
fabbionemvo: the hook would require a high level of complexity to recognize only what's happening10:58
mvoKamion: that would certainly be doable10:58
fabbioneKamion: would it be so bad for you to just trash that file at first install? imho it's at the same level of hugly hacks as me getting crazy to figure that out from maintainer script hooks10:58
Kamionfabbione: I think it goes over my hack threshold10:59
pittimvo: u-n should check the md5sums of changed files, so that it doesn't display the same notice again10:59
KamionI don't mind globally saying "no notifications on first install", but trashing a specific file for a specific package (even if it is the kernel) is getting pretty grotty10:59
pittiwell, the first alternative would indeed help11:00
mvoKamion: the hook files are not precious, I think I'll add some sort of cleanup for old hook files anyway in the future11:00
pittimvo: right now I wanted to convert the langpack update notice from "ship in deb" to "generate dynamically in postinst" for the same reason11:00
fabbioneKamion: i understand that11:00
mvoKamion: but your point is valid of course11:01
pittimvo: I basically have the same problem: if I install the langpack from scratch, I don't want the note11:01

mvopitti: not sure about this, the kernel message "please reboot" is always the same, but needs to be displayed nevertheless11:01
Kamionmvo: I think all files shipped in .debs have to be considered precious - I don't want to confuse tools like debsums by going around removing shipped files11:01
mvoright11:02
pittimvo: maybe a better solution than reinventing the wheel in many postinsts is a "install-update-note" script in u-n?11:02
mvopitti: what would that script do?11:03
pittimvo: maybe "i-u-n <package version> <package version for displaying note> <file>"11:04
pittiit could compare postinst's $2 lt-nl <package version for displaying note>11:04
pittiso it wouldn't be installed if the pkg is installed from scratch ($2 == '')11:05
pittiand wouldn't be installed if it already exists11:05
pittihowever, I didn't think about that thoroughly, I just need that for the langpacks11:05
pittifabbione certainly has different requirements for ABI changes etc.11:05
mvopitti: would it be ok if you could try to make your language-pack script a bit more generic so that it could be envoled into a generic i-u-n script later?11:07

Riddellpitti: but also if you do kde-config --path locale it comes out with /home/jr/.kde/share/locale/:/usr/share/locale/12:30

pittiRiddell: can't this rather just use libc's gettext?12:31
Riddellpitti: seems not, I think for historical reasons12:32

pittiRiddell: I proposed to upstream to generalize that facility, but it was rejected12:49
Riddellpitti: right.  and what's the reason for using locale-langpack over just installing to locale?12:49
pittiRiddell: to avoid file conflicts with locally installed debs12:49
mdkesmurfix, yo indeed. thanks for the email, we've been looking at smf, can you tell me which locoteams use it so we can see what it looks like in practice?12:49
smurfixmdke: -fi and -ru12:50
mdzpitti: I was thinking yesterday about whether we could avoid stripping locales from .debs12:50
mdkesmurfix, thanks12:51
mdzpitti: and do a delta from upstream translations->current translations instead of last-langpack->current translations12:51
mdkesmurfix, -fi looks quite nice12:51
mdzpitti: depending on the activity level in rosetta and how quickly upstream integrates translations, it could be similar size12:51
mdzand would simplify things12:51
seb128and would be better for users12:52
pittihm, worth thinking about that12:52
seb128atm if a package change the translation domain, the app goes to 0% translated 12:52
pittiwell, that doesn't happen in stable releases12:52
seb128no, but it happens with unstable12:53
seb128and translators need to have correct translations to work to translate the next version12:53
seb128hum, lot of "translat" on the same sentence :p12:54
pittimdz: I think that would mean a bigger sum of package sizes (mo files in deb + delta langpacks), so we probably need to drop more langpacks from CD12:55
mdzpitti: you think?  it seems non-obvious to me12:55
pittimdz: i. e. if somebody in Rosetta fixes just one string, we would ship the same mo file twice12:55
mdzpitti: would it be a lot of work to calculate it?12:55
pittimdz: well, calculating it requires the percentage of touched translations12:56
fabbioneYES YES YES!!!!12:56
pittimdz: we currently can't ship a "diff mo", just complete mo files12:56
fabbioneKamion: i just got the first automatically generated /boot out of p-a-l :D12:56
mdzpitti: right12:56
pittimdz: so in the worst case the amount of shipped mo files doubles12:57
mdzbut I think the percentage is relatively small at this point, right?12:57
pittimdz: right now, yes12:57
mdzand I expect that in mature projects it would stabilize12:57

mdzJun 17 14:03:29 <mdz>   gnome-session exits when it exits, but ssh doesn't exit06:49
mdzuntil all connections are closed06:49
mdzKamion: I need to shut down the connection when the command exits, rather than when the X connections close06:49
Kamionyou could use the master/slave stuff and then do -O exit06:51
mdzmaster/slave stuff?06:51
Kamion     -M      Places the ssh client into master mode for connection06:51
Kamion             sharing.  Refer to the description of ControlMaster in06:51
Kamion             ssh_config(5) for details.06:51
mdzinteresting06:52
mdzI don't think that will do what I want, though06:52
Kamionthe actual connection sharing stuff is unnecessary here, but you can use it to provide you with a mechanism to control a running client06:52
mdzthat would only let me control the running client from the local end of the connection, no?06:52
mdzI could just as easily kill it there, but I can't reliably know when to do that06:53
mdzwhich is why I set about looking for a way to do it on the remote end06:53
Kamionoh, I see06:53
mdzkill -1 $PPID isn't all that evil06:54
mdzI didn't think ssh started a shell by default for the command06:54
Kamionbut doesn't the remote end already know when the command has exited?06:54
mdzyes06:54
Kamionfor example the command could write a line to a FIFO when it's done06:54
Kamionoh, never mind me06:55
mdzI think ssh host <command>'; kill -1 $PPID' will do the trick, testing06:55
Kamionwould it be good enough to be able to tell ssh not to wait for forwarded connections to close?06:56
