mjg59kikov: linux-image03:30
kikovok.. and why kernel-patch-vserver depends on kernel-sources? ( instead linux-sources ) 03:31
kikovwell.. not depend, suggest: Suggests: util-vserver, kernel-source-2.4.27 | kernel-source-2.6.8 | kernel-source-2.6.1103:31
mjg59Because it's been imported from Debian without modification03:31
kikovok.. thx 03:32
kikovI'm going to play a little bit with it03:32
kikovif everything is OK with 2.6.12, we could add Suggests: linux-source-2.6.12 to suggestions03:32
fabbioneBenC: ping?03:34
kikovumm, the diff file should be included03:37
kikovmjg59, and another question.. how can I know the version of the linux-sources?03:38
kikovwell.. 2.6.12 is good, but I still need the other microversion03:38
kikov2.6.12.4 and so...03:38

fabbioneBenC: and got davem to install Ubuntu sparc :)04:16
BenCsweet :)04:17
fabbioneBenC: time to start building a community04:17
BenCyeah, I've told him I moved to ubuntu, and that we will do it right :)04:17
fabbione#ubuntu-sparc is open for business :)04:17
fabbioneBenC: yeah.. he thought that you did all of it :)04:17
fabbionebut yes.. we have a playground area04:17
BenCI couldn't do sparc right with Debian simply because no one believed the technical arguments dave and I were pushing04:17
fabbioneand given we are 3 sane people04:18
BenClol04:18
fabbioneso yes. we can do whatever we want (or almost04:18
fabbioneI need to talk with Mark to get the buildd's in place04:19
BenCso sparc will actually be "stable" with breezy, just not supported, right?04:19
BenCyou did a kick ass job getting all that done, btw04:20
BenCI remember how much work that was when I took over debian-sparc04:20
BenCnot fun at all04:20
fabbioneBenC: yes.. we should be able to release together with Breezy04:21
fabbionestable, but not supported04:21
fabbionehoary didn't make it for a package04:21
BenCIBM R30 laptops seem to have the most trouble right now04:21
BenCmaybe I need to get one04:21
fabbioneBenC: eheh why buying crappy hw?04:22
fabbionei will probable buy a powerbook before UBZ04:22
fabbionemy laptop is falling apart04:22
fabbione(hw-detect fixes uploaded)04:22
fabbioneBenC: tomorrow it will be a very good day to test the installer04:23
fabbionei don't remember if hw-detect is downloaded or part of d-i04:23
fabbionein the latter case we need to wait a d-i upload04:23
fabbioneBenC: http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/sparc.diff <- this should fit all possible SBUS crack04:24

fabbionebut it doesn't contain all the fixes from today04:26
zulwohoo...a reason to use my sparc again04:26
fabbionethat are sort of important04:26
fabbionezul: what sparc do you have?04:26
zulultra 5 i think04:27
fabbioneok..04:27
fabbioneit should be fine04:28
fabbionejbailey has one iirc04:28
fabbionezul: if you could sacrifice your sparc as test install machine, that would be really rad04:30
fabbioneanyway.. time to go to school04:32

=== lamont-away prepares to upload a new kernel-package, which the -9.19 kernel will depend on....
lamont-awaymy SS20 isn't all that loud,.. :0)06:16
jbaileylamont-away: Nor are the little sunblades. =)06:56
jbaileyI tried to acquire one of those from my previous employer, and couldn't get away with it.06:56
jbaileyAnd then the U10 I was supposed to get died.06:56
lamont-away:-(06:57
jbaileyI have a U5 here, it does the job (enough that I can do the glibc builds and stuff)06:58
mkrufkyjbailey: question... are you only responsible for glibc stuff, or is it other userspace stuff too?07:23
jbaileyI am responsible for some other userpsace stuff.07:24
jbaileyIn Ubuntu we don't have a Big Maintainer Lock on packages.07:24
mkrufkyok... i thought of another issue that may or may not come up:07:24
jbaileyWe all update what we need to.07:24
mkrufkyoh, i see07:24
jbaileySome people are just more skilled at things so tend to get the bugs to fix.07:24
mkrufkyah that makes a lot of sense07:24
mkrufkywhat estimated percentage of ubuntu userbase would you guess to be americans?07:25
jbaileyWe have no way of knowing.07:27
jbaileyThe US is a hard market to crack.07:27
mkrufkyyes this can be true07:28
mkrufkyactually, i heard of ubuntu b/c i got a cd in the mail07:28
mkrufkyi dont know how i got it07:28
mkrufkybut i got 407:28
mkrufkyand i gave 3 of them out to co-workers, now we all use it07:29
mkrufkyso your promotions team is doing SOMETHING right :-)07:29
mkrufkyanyway, the reason why i ask:07:29
jbailey*lol*07:29
mkrufkythere is a package... i'm sure ubuntu has it, but i didnt look yet, called dvb-apps07:29
mkrufkythis package contains userspace apps for testing dvb cards07:30
mkrufkybut it only has programs that work with DVB standard07:30
mkrufkybut, us silly americans had to be different07:30
jbaileydvb-utils - Viewer programs for DVB cards07:31
mkrufkyand, just like how we dont use the metric system, America doesnt use DVB standard either... instead we have a stanbdard called ATSC07:31
mkrufkyyes07:31
jbaileyIsn't it NTSC?07:31
jbaileyNo, that's instead of PAL.07:31
mkrufkyNTSC is for analog video07:31
mkrufkyinstead of PAL, correct07:31
mkrufkyand we have ATSC for digital, instead of DVB07:31
mkrufkyhowever, DVB linux project covers all standards07:32
mkrufkybut the userspace apps currently dont have ATSC support07:32
mkrufkyit is, however, in cvs07:32
mkrufkydvb-apps cvs, on linuxtv.org07:32
mkrufkyi spoke to the guy responsible for putting out the releases of the package07:32
mkrufkyand he said he has too much on his plate right now07:33
mkrufky(and he's german, so he doesnt personally need to get the ATSC stuff out there as much as I do)07:33
mkrufkyanyway, i'm just giving a heads up, that since 2.6.12 supports DVB, and there is some ATSC support already in that kernel, you might have some users asking why the dvb-utils package doesnt work with their hardware07:34
mkrufkyand this is the reason07:34
jbaileyAh, hmm07:35
jbaileyThere's no reasonable way to put that heads up in a package.07:35
mkrufkywell, the right thing to do would be to get my guy to push out the next release07:35
mkrufkyhopefully he'll do it within a month of two07:36
mkrufkybut if you guys want to, there's nothing wrong with updating from cvs07:36
Mithrandirit's a bit too late for breezy, but should be well in the time frame for dapper07:36
mkrufkythe two programs that you should include are: atscscan and azap07:36
mkrufkyah, okay ... thats fine07:36
mkrufkybut now u know about it... in case the problem arises07:37
Mithrandirsince we have a release in two weeks, we're trying to stabilize as much as possible.07:37
mkrufkyya its cool07:37
Mithrandirnice to know, though, so we can point people in the right direction if the question comes up07:37
mkrufkyand quite honestly, i think the next version will be released in time for dapper07:37
mkrufkyyes, exactly07:37
jbaileymkrufky: Are you interested in helping keep those packages up to date in dapper?07:38
mkrufkyyes... 07:39
jbaileyIt's easy enough if you and a couple other people want to give them some love.07:39
mkrufkyya, that would be fine with me07:39
jbaileyFor something as specialised as that, the best our MOTU team can do is inherit from Debian.07:39
mkrufkyhmm... so it would actually make better sense for me to make debian packages07:39
jbaileymkrufky: Remind me after breezy releases. I can introduce you to ogra and dholbach07:39
jbaileyEither way.07:39
mkrufkyah, okay cool07:39
jbaileyIt depends how much you're tying them to updates done in Ubuntu's kernel.07:40
mkrufkydo u guys send packages back to debian folks?07:40
jbaileyFor things that are that tightly integrated, it might not make sense.07:40
jbaileyWe try to send changes back.07:40
jbaileyBut Debian as its own process for getting new packages in.  If we have something they don't have, it's hard to offer it back.07:40
mkrufkyi see.07:40
jbaileyIf you have time/patience to work with getting thepackage into Debian, we can just easily synchronise from there.07:41
mkrufkyhmmm maybe that would be a better route, this way all debian-based distros can benefit07:41
mkrufkywe'll see... id still like to meet those ppl u speak of07:41
jbaileySure.  I don't know who's involved on the Debian side.07:42
jbaileyOr you mean in Ubuntu?07:42
jbaileydholbach and ogra are the heads of the MOTU team, they're very nice.07:42
jbaileyWhile the rest of us do packaging and sponsoring and stuff, they're responsible for working with community folks on getting other packages in, improved, etc.07:43
mkrufkyyes.. .thats what im tlaking about07:43
mkrufkyi could work first with ubuntu stuff, cuz i already know some of u guys07:43
mkrufkythen we can try sending to debian... if it doesnt work, then i'll try alt routes07:44
mkrufkybut i think debian also has the same package... just needs updating07:44
jbaileyRight.07:45
jbaileyWhat I do in those cases is I update in Ubuntu and talk to the maintainer there about synchronising from my changes.07:46
jbaileySometimes they're interested, sometimes they're not.07:46
jbaileyWe can't force anything on them.07:46
