| Kyral | Kernel recompile GO | 01:45 |
| Diablo-D3 | <kernel recompile GET> | 01:45 |
| Kyral | Anyone know if enabling the "Use 4kb kernel stacks instead of 8kb" option has any performance impact? | 01:46 |
| Diablo-D3 | it increases performance | 01:46 |
| Kyral | niiiic | 01:46 |
| Kyral | e | 01:46 |
| Diablo-D3 | not as much as you think | 01:46 |
| Kyral | I don't think I have any modules... | 01:46 |
| Diablo-D3 | it allows the kernel to only allocate one memory block for the stack instead of 2. | 01:46 |
| Diablo-D3 | after extended periods of time, memory sometimes becomes so fragmented that finding 2 continuous blocks of memory is hard | 01:47 |
| Kyral | like if you don't reboot for a while | 01:47 |
| Diablo-D3 | yeah | 01:47 |
| Diablo-D3 | or you just trash memory a lot | 01:47 |
| Kyral | which is good because my computer usually goes weeks without a reboot | 01:47 |
| Diablo-D3 | you usually see this after months | 01:48 |
| Kyral | I'm trying to make the slimmest kernel I can | 01:48 |
| Diablo-D3 | that wont make it much slimmer. | 01:49 |
| Kyral | the stock Ubuntu Kernels run about 50 MB (Kernel + Initrd + Modules) | 01:49 |
| Diablo-D3 | yeah, which is unfortunate | 01:49 |
| Kyral | I got mine down to about 7 MB (Kernel + Modules) last night | 01:49 |
| Diablo-D3 | but the savings from 4kbstacks is less than a meg | 01:49 |
| Diablo-D3 | you probably cant even measure it in 100k | 01:49 |
| Diablo-D3 | this only effects kernel stacks, not userland stacks | 01:50 |
| Diablo-D3 | iirc it effects stuff like the kernel's nfs server the most | 01:50 |
| Kyral | which I/O Schedular should I use... | 01:51 |
| Diablo-D3 | ubuntu chooses a good default. | 01:51 |
| Kyral | all three are enabled thats why | 01:51 |
| Diablo-D3 | they arent very big. | 01:51 |
| === ajmitch returns | ||

| ajmitch | wow, a great lack of useful discussion in here again :) | 01:53 |
| Kyral | Its not about that | 01:53 |
| Diablo-D3 | btw, how much memory do you have? | 01:53 |
| Kyral | I just want to create a slimlined kernel | 01:53 |

| Nafallo | bddebian: go bug him :-) | 04:33 |
| bddebian | ajmitch: I don't need to be in the group to get things done apparently :-) | 04:33 |
| ajmitch | yes, I'm sure sabdfl will welcome a break from getting soyuz ready by tuesday | 04:33 |

| Lathiat | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | 04:38 |
| === Kyral wonders when he should apply for Ubuntu Membership | ||
| ajmitch | Kyral: when you have a number of contributions over a period of time | 04:41 |
| Kyral | yah, but when is enough :P | 04:41 |
| crimsun | membership? right away. | 04:41 |
| crimsun | MOTUship needs more involvement, like ajmitch said | 04:41 |
| ajmitch | crimsun: I dunno, membership also needs a sustained contribution | 04:42 |
| Kyral | How many bugs do I have squish, how many packages do I need to fix | 04:42 |
| TiMiDo | ok at was reading there and i already signed in on the launchpad what else do i do? | 04:42 |
| Lathiat | all of mine :) | 04:42 |
| crimsun | ajmitch: fair 'nuff, I'm still in the fast-track frame of mind | 04:42 |
| TiMiDo | what else do i do? | 04:43 |
| ajmitch | crimsun: I remember some highly active now-MOTUs who were turned down at CC the first time because they'd only been working a couple of weeks | 04:43 |
| === bddebian raises his hand :-) | ||
| ajmitch | bddebian: were you turned down at CC? | 04:44 |
| crimsun | TiMiDo: With what area are you interested in helping? | 04:44 |
| TiMiDo | testing, programming or write docs, | 04:45 |
| TiMiDo | or whatever i can do | 04:45 |
| bddebian | ajmitch: First time yes. They said come back in two weeks :) | 04:45 |
| crimsun | TiMiDo: pick out some things you want to do. Make sure you document them on a wiki page. | 04:45 |
| ajmitch | the MOTU team does packaging & fixing of universe packages | 04:46 |
| ajmitch | if that's the area you want to start in | 04:46 |
| TiMiDo | crimsun; oh i'm not really good with wiki =) | 04:46 |
| Kyral | Someone clear out REVU...'P | 04:47 |
| Nafallo | w00t! | 05:04 |
| Nafallo | seems like we are getting Karma for uploads soon :-P | 05:05 |
| ajmitch | Nafallo: well yeah | 05:06 |
| ajmitch | that was intended from the beginning | 05:06 |
| ajmitch | so that bddebian can be top of the karma table | 05:06 |
| Nafallo | hehe | 05:06 |
| Nafallo | lol anyway :-P | 05:07 |
| Nafallo | wow | 05:07 |
| Nafallo | 7 points for non-FTBFS ;-) | 05:07 |
| Kyral | Do you have to be in the MOTU Group? | 05:08 |
| ajmitch | Kyral: to upload? | 05:08 |
| Nafallo | to upload? | 05:08 |
| ajmitch | for uploads you need to be in the ubuntu developers group | 05:08 |
| Kyral | yah (Not to REVU) | 05:08 |
| bddebian | Heh | 05:08 |
| ajmitch | team membership will control who uploads for dapper | 05:09 |
| Kyral | which team... | 05:09 |
| ajmitch | so the tech board would have to approve you joining that group | 05:09 |
| ajmitch | ubuntu-dev, as I said | 05:09 |
| Kyral | okay | 05:09 |
| Kyral | sorry I just like fainted kinda | 05:10 |
| ajmitch | http://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-dev | 05:10 |

| ajmitch | unlike ubuntu users, this one has some significance for uploads :) | 05:11 |
| Kyral | I know/// | 05:11 |

| === nybble [n=nybble@pdpc/supporter/monthlybyte/nybble] has left #ubuntu-motu ["Leaving"] | ||

| ajmitch | member first at a CC meeting | 05:12 |
| ajmitch | MOTU next at a TB meeting | 05:12 |
| ajmitch | then main uploader at TB as well | 05:12 |
| Nafallo | I think I became member and MOTU with a week inbetween ;-) | 05:12 |
| ajmitch | Nafallo: some got them at the same meeting | 05:13 |
| ajmitch | when it was really fast-tracked | 05:13 |
| Kyral | I'm going to cite my work as a MOTU-In Training when I go for Member Power | 05:13 |
| Nafallo | ajmitch: yea, buts that's only wrong :-P | 05:13 |
| ajmitch | Kyral: what work have you done? | 05:13 |
| === Amaranth became a member without even attending the CC meeting | ||
| Amaranth | and i haven't been to one since | 05:13 |
| Kyral | Smashed bugs mostly | 05:13 |
| Nafallo | Amaranth: hehe. you where on all before that one, right? ;-) | 05:14 |
| Kyral | A lot of stuff in UbuntuForums | 05:14 |
| Amaranth | Nafallo: Almost every single one, no matter what time. | 05:14 |
| Nafallo | :-) | 05:14 |
| ajmitch | Kyral: what bugs have you fixed? | 05:14 |
| Nafallo | there you got hen | 05:14 |

| ajmitch | hey jsgotangco | 05:16 |
| jsgotangco | morning | 05:16 |
| ajmitch | Kyral: I just haven't seen many sponsored uploadss for you to fix bugs :) | 05:16 |
| Kyral | Sponsored Uploads? Like for REVU? | 05:17 |
| ajmitch | like uploads to ubuntu | 05:17 |
| Kyral | I don't have those kinda rights yet | 05:17 |
| ajmitch | Kyral: I said sponsored uploads | 05:18 |
| ajmitch | which means that a MOTU uploaded something you had done | 05:18 |
| jsgotangco | ajmitch, i was cleaning up my key this weekend, you didn't sign my key hehe or forgot to send it | 05:18 |
| Kyral | Mez is supposed to upload this one for me soon... | 05:18 |
| Kyral | https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/3129 | 05:18 |
| ajmitch | jsgotangco: that's probably right | 05:19 |
| ajmitch | jsgotangco: I probably still have your key fingerprint in my old laptop bag :) | 05:19 |
| Nafallo | noone can upload now :-P | 05:19 |
| === Nafallo dputs his server ;-) | ||
| jsgotangco | heh no rush, i'm catching up on fingerprints lately | 05:20 |
| Kyral | I've mainly been going around confirming, changing priority, whatnot. Its rare that I have time to actually build something as of late (school..) | 05:20 |
| ajmitch | right | 05:20 |
| Kyral | Check the Universe Bugs mailing list. Name's Chris Peterman ;P | 05:20 |
| ajmitch | not sure what criteria the CC will use, but you want to have as much as possible done to apply for membership :) | 05:21 |
| Kyral | Yah I know | 05:21 |
| ajmitch | yes, I've been busy on that list as well ;) | 05:21 |
| Kyral | I have a new package sitting in REVU limbo right now | 05:21 |
| === ajmitch sees > 200 items on universe-bugs for myself | ||
| Kyral | lol | 05:22 |
| Kyral | During semester break it will pick up for me | 05:22 |
| Kyral | I tend to do more tech support while on UbuntuForums ;P | 05:22 |
| ajmitch | right, that questionable futurama package | 05:23 |
| Kyral | Actually not the Futurama package | 05:23 |
| Kyral | look for "dcbu" | 05:23 |
| ajmitch | yes, spotted it | 05:23 |
| ajmitch | -1ubuntu1 should be -0ubuntu1 :) | 05:24 |
| === Kyral falls down | ||
| Diablo-D3 | Futrama has its own package now? | 05:25 |
| Kyral | dch -v "Because the MOTU is very very picky" :P | 05:25 |
| === Diablo-D3 demands a fullmetal alchemist package! | ||
| ajmitch | Kyral: most MOTUs aren't | 05:26 |
| ajmitch | I'm just pedantic | 05:26 |
| Nafallo | :-) | 05:26 |
| Kyral | twas a joke ;P | 05:26 |
| Kyral | and WTF does pedantic mean? | 05:26 |
| === ajmitch is worried that a program like this is written in c++ when a shell script would do just as well :) | ||
| Diablo-D3 | nheh | 05:27 |
| Kyral | because I didn't know shell scripted when I started writing it ;P | 05:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | Kyral: its a polite word for anal. | 05:27 |
| ajmitch | and I notice that it doesn't backup the critical parts of dpkg | 05:27 |
| ajmitch | just the list of installed packages | 05:28 |
| Kyral | eh? | 05:28 |
| Diablo-D3 | Kyral: anal retentive | 05:28 |
| ajmitch | the actual status db | 05:28 |
| ajmitch | Diablo-D3: thank you for your contribution :P | 05:28 |
| Kyral | where IS the actual status db | 05:28 |
| ajmitch | oh my | 05:28 |
| === Diablo-D3 lights ajmitch on fire | ||
| ajmitch | it's in /var/lib/dpkg | 05:28 |
| Diablo-D3 | BBQ! | 05:28 |
| ajmitch | Diablo-D3: stop it now, please | 05:28 |
| === Diablo-D3 gets the bbq sause | ||
| Kyral | can't that be wiped with autoclean... | 05:29 |
| Diablo-D3 | ajmitch: what? I'm roasting you. | 05:29 |
| ajmitch | Diablo-D3: you're being silly | 05:29 |
| ajmitch | Kyral: not at all | 05:29 |
| Diablo-D3 | ajmitch: well, its not like breezy+1 is open for buisness yet =/ | 05:29 |
| Kyral | well, mark what you think should be added...I need to shower ;P | 05:29 |
| ajmitch | Diablo-D3: it doesn't give you license to be annoying | 05:29 |
| ajmitch | Kyral: if I remember to look at it again, I will :) | 05:30 |
| Kyral | lol | 05:30 |
| Kyral | so no sponsor? | 05:30 |
| ajmitch | I'm just not sure that a program to copy a few files is worth a package as it stands at the moment | 05:30 |
| ajmitch | certainly not right now | 05:30 |
| Kyral | okay | 05:30 |
| ajmitch | this package might not pass the debian 'trivial package' test | 05:30 |
| Kyral | Now I know what I'm doing in December | 05:30 |
| Kyral | It may be trivial, but I have found that people like the idea of this thing | 05:31 |
| === ajmitch would rather get debbackup from daniels if he still has the source lying around | ||
| ajmitch | or some shell solution with rdiff-backup :) | 05:32 |
| Kyral | So basically backup a crapload of stuff | 05:32 |
| ajmitch | and keep some history | 05:32 |
| Kyral | I may wind up modifying it into a mass deployment script (for like computer labs) | 05:32 |
| ajmitch | heck, even copying into a bzr repository would be useful :) | 05:32 |
| Kyral | bzr repo? | 05:33 |
| ajmitch | yes | 05:33 |
| Kyral | wzzat | 05:33 |
| ajmitch | google it :P | 05:33 |
| Nafallo | apt-cache show bzr :-) | 05:33 |
| Kyral | Yah I will | 05:33 |
| Amaranth | ooh, firefox 1.5 coming soon: "No known major regressions." | 05:33 |
| ajmitch | it's a revision control system | 05:33 |
| Kyral | 'cause I need to shower | 05:33 |
| Kyral | Is there anythign for mass deployment on Ubuntu yet... | 05:34 |
| Kyral | I dunno....but shower calls | 05:34 |

| ivoks | and dream about one single ubuntu distribution :) | 09:57 |
| dholbach | we need a WeAreOneFamily page on the wiki to send them too :) | 09:57 |
| ivoks | :) | 09:58 |
| ivoks | and we had a wrong aproach, imho | 09:58 |
| jsgotangco | xubuntu? | 09:59 |
| jsgotangco | there's an initiative for it already? | 09:59 |
| ivoks | yes | 09:59 |
| ivoks | it's in breezy :) | 09:59 |
| jsgotangco | well xfce is in breezy | 09:59 |
| jsgotangco | but it ain't called xubuntu | 09:59 |
| jsgotangco | unless there's a metapackage? | 09:59 |
| ivoks | xubuntu-* | 09:59 |
| jsgotangco | WOW | 09:59 |
| ivoks | good morning jsgotangco :) | 09:59 |
| jsgotangco | Package: xubuntu-desktop | 10:00 |
| jsgotangco | Priority: optional | 10:00 |
| jsgotangco | Section: universe/misc | 10:00 |
| jsgotangco | Installed-Size: 32 | 10:00 |
| jsgotangco | Maintainer: Jani Monoses <jani@email.ro> | 10:00 |
| jsgotangco | oohhhh | 10:00 |
| ivoks | yup, still universe :/ | 10:01 |
| jsgotangco | still a good start imo | 10:01 |
| ivoks | of course | 10:01 |
| ivoks | it's fresh project | 10:02 |
| jsgotangco | nice i'll do a server install later and grab the metapackage | 10:02 |
| jsgotangco | s/server/base | 10:02 |
| ivoks | jsgotangco: you said it right... server install | 10:07 |
| ivoks | uh.. | 10:08 |
| ivoks | ubuntu is topic #1 in linux.hr community | 10:08 |
| jsgotangco | nice | 10:08 |
| ivoks | just check out linux.hr | 10:08 |
| ivoks | and hr.comp.os.linux is all covered with ubuntu questions | 10:09 |

| freeflying | dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source | 10:55 |
| dholbach | you changed a binary file | 10:56 |
| ajmitch | freeflying: you need to rm .pyc files in the clean target | 10:56 |
| dholbach | try running sudo fakeroot debian/rules clean | 10:56 |
| zakame | freeflying: it means you probably changed a binary, or deleted a file | 10:56 |
| Sepheebear | hey guys, i spammed the hell out of this bug report Malone #3255. I added the *.diff.gz for each update. is there a better way I could report these? | 10:56 |
| ajmitch | Sepheebear: please please don't paste them inline | 10:56 |
| ajmitch | as malone mangles comments | 10:57 |
| dholbach | Sepheebear: do a debdiff on both .dsc files and "+ add attachment" | 10:57 |
| Sepheebear | thanks will do | 10:57 |
| ajmitch | add attachment is the only way they'll be usable | 10:57 |
| Sepheebear | ah ok now i know | 10:57 |
| freeflying | same error after doing sudo fakeroot debian/rules clean | 10:57 |
| dholbach | then you should fix up the clean target to remove the .pyc files | 10:58 |
| zakame | freeflying: are you using debuild? if so, you can look at the .build logfile and tell us what happened there... | 10:58 |
| freeflying | i'm using dpkg-buildpackage directly | 10:58 |

| ajmitch | right | 12:35 |
| ajmitch | bazaar is probably a better direct replacement at the moment | 12:35 |

| dholbach | which team aliases in launchpad do we have? | 12:41 |

| ajmitch | dholbach: hm? there are quite a few now | 12:41 |
| dholbach | could you all shout in the names of them? | 12:41 |
| dholbach | mono? gnome? motumedia? | 12:41 |
| dholbach | kubuntu-team? | 12:41 |
| ajmitch | mono, motu, motuim, avahi, pkg-zope | 12:42 |

| ajmitch | that's possible | 12:43 |
| Lathiat | i know thats why i mentioned it :) | 12:43 |
| ajmitch | but they'd probably get all the motu bugs then | 12:43 |
| Lathiat | you think? | 12:43 |
| Lathiat | hrm | 12:43 |
| ajmitch | you want to try it with avahi? ;) | 12:43 |
| Lathiat | haha | 12:43 |
| Lathiat | ell as a ember of the motu team i dont get motu bug stuff.. | 12:43 |
| ajmitch | make avahi a member & see if sebest complains | 12:43 |
| ajmitch | actually yeah | 12:44 |
| Lathiat | so why would another team? | 12:44 |
| ajmitch | since motu's contact address is a mailing list | 12:44 |
| ajmitch | rather than all team member | 12:44 |
| ajmitch | it might work ok | 12:44 |
| Lathiat | ah right | 12:44 |
| dholbach | motuxfce? | 12:50 |
| sebest | ajmitch: why would i complain? :) | 12:53 |
| Lathiat | sebest: getting mailed every bug assigned to MOTUs :) | 12:53 |

| herve | so what is the priority when the dapper archive is open? | 01:05 |
| dholbach | merges and bug triage/fixing | 01:06 |
| dholbach | we can do triage now too :) | 01:06 |
| Mortas | I'm a new noob who wants to join in, please give me tedious boring jobs so I can learn :) | 01:06 |
| ajmitch | dapper is special - we want universe to be extra nice | 01:06 |
| ajmitch | Mortas: oh we've got *lots* of those | 01:07 |
| Mortas | I was assuming that | 01:07 |
| Mortas | I've been looking around at the wiki but haven't found the 'we don't wanna touch this, let the new guy do it' parts | 01:07 |
| dholbach | Mortas: nice of you to drop in | 01:07 |
| dholbach | Mortas: basically you can touch everything | 01:07 |
| dholbach | if you don't have upload privileges yet, we will have somebody review your changes | 01:07 |
| dholbach | but the archive isnt open yet, so we're currently "cleaning up" :) | 01:08 |
| dholbach | meaning we're having a look at all the bugs in malone that are tagged as "motu" | 01:08 |
| dholbach | and make sure we understand what the reporter is talking about and we look for fixes, if we can't do them ourselves | 01:08 |
| Mortas | I was looking at malone but haven't really figured out how to filter out the motu stuff | 01:09 |
| dholbach | checking in upstreams bugzillas is cool too, since they sometimes have the fix around already (if not, we can forward them our bug) | 01:09 |
| Mortas | is that everything assigned to moto? | 01:09 |
| Mortas | or is there a generic category of some sort | 01:09 |
| ajmitch | https://launchpad.net/people/motu/+assignedbugs | 01:09 |
| ajmitch | has the bugs assigned to the motu team | 01:09 |
| Mortas | ah that's a lot more than I found *bookmarks* | 01:10 |
| dholbach | cool :) | 01:11 |
| Mortas | ah k, didn't think of looking at the people & teams yet | 01:12 |
| dholbach | launchpad takes a bit of time to get used to | 01:12 |
| === zakame [n=zakame@unaffiliated/zakame] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| dholbach | to grok all the concepts - i daresay i didnt manage all of them myself yet :) | 01:12 |
| Mortas | that was to be expected :) | 01:12 |
| Mortas | I just to the usual brute-force learning method, click on everything | 01:13 |
| Mortas | do* | 01:13 |
| Mortas | so the general idea is, pick a bug, see if you can test/fix it, submit to reviewer? | 01:13 |
| dholbach | sometimes we have to make sure we have all the information a reporter can give us | 01:13 |
| dholbach | "this doesnt work" isnt really helpful :) | 01:14 |
| Mortas | and sadly enough most likely the content of atleasy 70% of the bug reports | 01:14 |
| dholbach | for example: if you don't manage to reproduce a crash, you can tell them to follow the instructions on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash | 01:14 |
| dholbach | good resources for fixed bugs are of course http://packages.debian.org/<package> (the changelog section) or bugs.debian.org | 01:15 |
| Mortas | is there a page on the wiki with a collection of this links or should I just start bookmarking a lot? | 01:15 |
| dholbach | i'm just writing up a couple of notes for bug squashing | 01:15 |
| dholbach | :) | 01:15 |
| dholbach | i wanted to announce a bug day on wednesday | 01:15 |
| dholbach | so keep on asking, so i don't forget :) | 01:15 |
| Mortas | haha ok | 01:16 |
| dholbach | for example gnome wiki has a couple of stock answers, which are put in a nice way | 01:16 |
| dholbach | so you don't go and write "Reporter, which version of Ubuntu do you use?" | 01:16 |
| dholbach | i read that once and was quite shocked | 01:16 |
| Mortas | the could have been said a lot better | 01:17 |
| Mortas | that* | 01:17 |
| Mortas | still to early for my fingers to have woken up | 01:17 |
| dholbach | :) | 01:17 |
| dholbach | in launchpad you can add a link to a upstream bug tracker (if you forwarded it upstream or you found a duplicate of the report) | 01:18 |
| dholbach | and i just updated MOTUTeams, with a list of launchpad names, which we can assign bugs to | 01:19 |
| Lathiat | unfortunately linked debain bugs dont seem to show the status unlike bz bugs | 01:19 |
| Mortas | another question I have is if there is some sort of list of why a certain package will not be included | 01:19 |
| Mortas | I know for example tomcat isn't in there and that there are people who want it | 01:19 |
| Mortas | but not why it isn't in there | 01:19 |
| ajmitch | Mortas: usually because they haven't been synced from debian | 01:19 |
| ajmitch | since dapper isn't open yet | 01:19 |
| dholbach | Mortas: we list packages users want to have on UniverseCandidates (on the wiki) | 01:19 |
| ajmitch | and new packages had to be manually approved after the upstream version freeze for breezy | 01:20 |
| Lathiat | well theres 2 categories | 01:20 |
| Lathiat | those in debian not in ubuntu | 01:20 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: tomcat is in debian :) | 01:20 |
| Lathiat | and those not in either | 01:20 |
| Lathiat | the latter can be for a number of reasons | 01:20 |
| Lathiat | not packaged, not free, requires some non-free part, etc | 01:20 |
| dholbach | ajmitch: just a more general answer :) | 01:20 |
| Lathiat | totally illegal in 90% of the world, etc :) | 01:20 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: I know.. | 01:20 |

| herve | yoohoo! malone finally has a "subscribe me" action | 01:30 |
| Mithrandir | dholbach: list admin page -> sender filters -> accept_these_nonmembers = ^.*@launchpad.net | 01:30 |
| herve | no need to type its own login | 01:30 |
| dholbach | Mithrandir: that's only for "From:" | 01:31 |
| dholbach | Mithrandir: which is not accurate for the recent launchpad mails | 01:31 |
| Mithrandir | hmm, point | 01:31 |
| Mithrandir | add it to header_filter_rules? | 01:31 |
| dholbach | Mithrandir: i tried 'privacy options' -> 'spam filters' -> header_filter_rules | 01:31 |
| dholbach | yeah, but i didnt manage a good expression to fix it | 01:32 |
| Mithrandir | ^Reply-To:.*launchpad.net ? | 01:32 |
| Mithrandir | or x-Malone-Bug or whatever meta-header malone sets | 01:32 |
| Treenaks | they just need to fix their Envelope-From | 01:33 |
| Treenaks | because current behaviour breaks RFCs | 01:33 |
| dholbach | i'll try to | 01:33 |
| dholbach | we'll see with the next comments on malone bugs | 01:34 |
| dholbach | so please: triage motu bugs, thank you | 01:34 |

| zenrox | see you dholbach | 01:36 |
| dholbach | Mithrandir: doesnt seem to have worked :( | 01:38 |
| \sh | damn. | 01:38 |
| Mithrandir | dholbach: hmm, that sucks. If you can convince elmo to run more of my code, I can just write a plugin like I wrote for -changes. | 01:39 |
| dholbach | i was thinking about just un-moderating the whole list | 01:39 |
| dholbach | because it got on my nerves | 01:40 |
| dholbach | (apart from everybody elses) | 01:40 |
| Mithrandir | you just want it moderated 'cause of spam? | 01:40 |
| dholbach | it was moderated, when i got hold of it, and yes, i thought that spam might be a good reason | 01:41 |
| dholbach | ok... i'll see you later | 01:42 |
| Mithrandir | sure | 01:42 |
| Mithrandir | just tell me if I should write the plugin | 01:42 |
| dholbach | it should work... somehow with that spam thingie | 01:42 |
| dholbach | SteveA told me to use it | 01:42 |
| herve | I can't find how to change the assigment in malone | 01:43 |

| _Tonio_ | may I require help from one of you guys ? I'm experiencing a very strange thing and I would like your point of view...... | 05:36 |
| bddebian | _Tonio_: Shoot | 05:39 |
| _Tonio_ | okay, I installed kubuntu on my girlfriend desktop | 05:39 |
| _Tonio_ | she has a non lcd screen. | 05:40 |
| _Tonio_ | everything is okay, but from time to time, when she boots, she has very little fonts..... | 05:40 |
| _Tonio_ | she has to reboot to get the normal size. | 05:40 |
| _Tonio_ | there is no rules, it can happen 3 times a week, everyday, or not happen for 10 days.... | 05:41 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: I get that too with ubuntu breezy | 05:41 |
| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: ah ? cool ;) Not the only one ;) | 05:41 |
| _Tonio_ | I assume this is due to something maybe missing in xorg.conf, but what ???? I searched without any success..... | 05:42 |
| ogra | there was a bug in the last kdelibs upload if i grokked that right... involving font antialiasing | 05:42 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: yeah - it mostly affects my thin clients, I think something doesn't start or crashes on login | 05:42 |
| ogra | _Tonio_, it doesnt happen in gnome at all, i doubt xorg.conf is involved | 05:43 |
| === bur[n] er [n=burner@c-67-173-243-73.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: do you have use kde or gnome ? | 05:47 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: gnome, but some kde apps | 05:49 |
| === zyga [n=zyga@2-mi2-1.acn.waw.pl] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: if it was kde I would have said kubuntu | 05:49 |
| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: and when it happens, doesn it for all the desktop or only kde apps ? | 05:49 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: the whole desktop - I can tell because when I go to login at gdm my name is tiny | 05:50 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: so I reboot the system | 05:50 |
| _Tonio_ | yes that's exactly the same for my girlfriends desktop..... | 05:50 |
| _Tonio_ | and here is my last question : do you have a crt or lcd screen ? | 05:50 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: beautiful mitsubishi 1770G crt 17" flatscreen :) | 05:51 |
| _Tonio_ | I have a crt on that machine too..... never had any problem with my lcd screens | 05:52 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: it's bloody heavy though | 05:52 |
| tseng | er | 05:52 |
| tseng | i had a 21" crt | 05:52 |
| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: so maybe that's one of the reasons... | 05:52 |
| tseng | i have a 22 in front of me atm | 05:52 |
| tseng | *thats* heavy | 05:52 |
| _Tonio_ | tseng: did you experience the same issue ? | 05:53 |
| tseng | what issue | 05:53 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: I really feel it's something not loading or crashing that causes it | 05:54 |
| _Tonio_ | tseng: font size sometimes changing while rebooting | 05:54 |
| tseng | no. | 05:54 |
| Yagisan | tseng: boot up, and X is suddenly all mini-fonts | 05:54 |
| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: possibly..... but well It was like that last week I completly reinstalled, fresh install, this WE, and the problem remains... | 05:55 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: to be honest - It also happened to me in hoary too | 05:56 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: restarting the system or restarting X usually cleared it up for me | 05:56 |
| _Tonio_ | ah..... that's strange, really..... | 05:56 |
| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: it would be a bug with some screens ??? | 05:57 |

| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: possibly...... | 05:59 |
| _Tonio_ | but what would it happen on some computers and not other ones if it not a hardware issue ? | 06:00 |
| === lifeless_ [n=robertc@dsl-27.7.240.220.rns01-kent-syd.dsl.comindico.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: well, when I ran Debian woody - It didn't happen to me | 06:02 |
| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: here is what I found in xorg logs : | 06:08 |
| _Tonio_ | (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1280 x 1024 | 06:08 |
| _Tonio_ | (==) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (75, 75) | 06:08 |
| === TMM [n=hp@c51471f2c.cable.wanadoo.nl] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| _Tonio_ | 75, 75 is really defined to be small..... maybe here is the problem | 06:08 |
| ogra | yes, should be ~96 | 06:08 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: does it only happen with NVIDIA binary module ?????? | 06:09 |
| _Tonio_ | didn't try at the moment | 06:09 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: I didn't use nvidia with my woody system ... | 06:09 |
| _Tonio_ | ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh | 06:10 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: I see you just had the same brainwave I did | 06:10 |
| _Tonio_ | okay, so a temorary solution could be to test with "nv" | 06:11 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: or vesa if it's too new for nv | 06:12 |
| _Tonio_ | it is not too new (geforce 4 mx 400) | 06:13 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: nv will support that on breezy - I have one in a p2 233! | 06:16 |
| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: apparently it is not an nvidia problem | 06:16 |

| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: here is a solution given to me that may work.... | 06:44 |
| _Tonio_ | forcing X to dpi 100 | 06:45 |
| Yagisan | _Tonio_: ok - but why does it misdetect ? | 06:45 |
| _Tonio_ | Yagisan: don't know..... certainly a problem with some screens apparently.... | 06:45 |
| _Tonio_ | this is not a very common problem so.... | 06:46 |
| _Tonio_ | what you can try is to add "-dpi 100" to ServerArgsLocal in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc | 06:46 |
| _Tonio_ | if that doesn't work, another solution is to disable dde in xorg.conf and manualy specify your screen's dimensions | 06:47 |

| dholbach | shadoi: for dapper they're quite well | 06:51 |

| _Tonio_ | good ;) Just (maybe) resolved a strange bug on my girlfriend's desktop, and had a marvellous WE ;) | 06:55 |
| jamessan|work | last time I did, it wasn't quite usable (for me) on a day-to-day basis | 06:55 |

| dholbach | some we can process and close with the merges | 07:01 |
| dholbach | i don't see this interrelated | 07:01 |

| dholbach | we have to process bugs | 07:01 |
| ogra | sure it is | 07:01 |
| dholbach | and it's a good time to get people involved | 07:01 |

| ogra | s/aew/a new | 07:02 |
| dholbach | that's one of the thing i always have to do | 07:02 |
| ogra | not after UVF | 07:02 |
| dholbach | read the bug, understand it, check for fixes (which includes debian) | 07:02 |

| ogra | UVF will be earlier this time and we'll have to concentrated more o stabilization | 07:02 |
| dholbach | Yagisan: i don't think so | 07:02 |
| dholbach | ogra: so this is the time to report stuff upstream | 07:02 |
| ogra | so all pre UVF work should be cocentrated *now* | 07:03 |
| ogra | indded also looking at bugs that have their fix upstream... | 07:03 |
| === plugwash [i=plugwash@p10link.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| dholbach | yeah and report new stuff upstream, so we have the change to include it in dapper | 07:03 |
| ogra | but if we again have 200 merge bugs left after UVF this time, we can give up... | 07:04 |
| dholbach | you're too pessimistic for me | 07:04 |
| dholbach | really | 07:04 |
| ogra | not at all | 07:04 |
| dholbach | we won't give up | 07:04 |
| Nafallo | europe != sweden (re: libdvdcss) | 07:04 |
| dholbach | that's not the MOTU spirit | 07:04 |
| dholbach | :) | 07:04 |
| ogra | we simply ignored merge bugs due to cxx transition in breezy... | 07:04 |
| Lathiat | Nafallo: sure but its a problem for 90% of the rest of the world | 07:04 |
| dholbach | yeah, that was a shame | 07:04 |
| dholbach | but we'll fix it up for dapper :) | 07:05 |
| ogra | so a lot of merged sowftware didn recieve the necessary love | 07:05 |
| Nafallo | Lathiat: well, that's not my problem since sweden provide the sources to compile for people :-P | 07:05 |
| dholbach | i'm not saying we should only follow one goal, if that's what you mean | 07:05 |
| ogra | and we'll have to go with dapper for at least 3 years, so it must be a lot better organized... | 07:05 |
| ogra | especially if the release schadule applis hard this time | 07:05 |
| ogra | *applies | 07:06 |

| === spayne [n=spayne@i-195-137-120-148.freedom2surf.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| dholbach | and we better start that one of early | 07:06 |
| ogra | dholbach, i say we should concentrate all forces on merging first... | 07:06 |
| dholbach | mom doesnt produce good diffs atm | 07:06 |
| ogra | bugfixes are allowed after UVF.... | 07:06 |
| dholbach | and it will take QUITE a while to build all that stuff | 07:07 |
| Yagisan | Lathiat: actually, how I see it is, its a problem for most western countries + japan. No one else cares about it | 07:07 |
| dholbach | ogra: i can't wait until uvf to fix bugs | 07:07 |
| ogra | dholbach, thats not what i said | 07:07 |
| ogra | but all pre UVF work should have priority this time | 07:08 |
| ogra | so we go smoothly with the schedule | 07:08 |
| dholbach | bug forwarding included | 07:08 |
| ogra | sure | 07:08 |
| dholbach | so what is this argument about? | 07:08 |
| LaserJock | what do you guys think about having a MOTU-Assistant or MOTU-Helper level on contribution for Universe for people who don't want to be full fledged MOTU's? | 07:09 |
| ogra | prioritizing merge bugs :) | 07:09 |
| dholbach | ogra: i will happily make that happen, now let me please do a bug day, kthxbye :) | 07:09 |

| ogra | :) | 07:09 |
| Mortas | the merging start tomorrow? | 07:09 |
| Nafallo | Mortas: probably not. | 07:10 |
| Lathiat | I think the soyuz stuff is suffering a couple setbacks | 07:10 |
| Mortas | hmm too bad, I like loads of broken stuff to fix | 07:10 |
| ogra | Mortas, everything starts tomorrow... no idea if MOM is ready already for us | 07:10 |
| Yagisan | dholbach, ogra. Who wants to fix amule ? | 07:10 |
| dholbach | Yagisan: why don't you try? | 07:10 |
| Nafallo | ogra: soyuz is delayed it seems... | 07:10 |
| Yagisan | dholbach: because I can't read C | 07:11 |
| Nafallo | current ETA is ~Wednesday | 07:11 |
| dholbach | Yagisan: try, check upstream/debian's changelogs, maybe they have a fix already | 07:11 |
| ogra | Yagisan, you just need to find the right patch ;) | 07:11 |
| ogra | Nafallo, gah.... | 07:11 |
| ogra | Nafallo, shortening the release cycle but delaying the start.... | 07:12 |

| Nafallo | or maybe not. baah. I should sleep more :-P | 07:13 |
| ogra | LaserJock, i guess with rainsing amount of people we'll need to organize this, yes... | 07:13 |
| ogra | *raising | 07:13 |
| Nafallo | was up all night reading SoyuzSpecs ;-) | 07:13 |
| ogra | LaserJock, currently all people contributing in here are on their way to become MOTU | 07:13 |
| LaserJock | dhobach: well, everything right now seems to be geared toward making MOTU, but what about people who don't have the knowledge or time to be MOTU | 07:14 |
| ogra | so we dont really have the usecase now... but i guess it will come up once | 07:14 |
| LaserJock | I think I would be like that | 07:14 |
| ogra | LaserJock, we have revu where many non MOTU supload ... | 07:14 |
| LaserJock | I really don't think I would make a good MOTU but I still want to contribute | 07:15 |
| Nafallo | LaserJock: what's the problem with the current procedure in pushing some MOTU to do the upload till you made enough to be one yourself? :-) | 07:15 |
| LaserJock | yes there is revu, but there isn't much for organization | 07:15 |
| ogra | so just get upload rights to revu... | 07:15 |
| ogra | we have the ubuntu-devel mailing list the wiki and this channel for organization... | 07:15 |
| ogra | as i said i dont see the usecase yet... but it might become something to consider in the future... | 07:16 |
| === ryu [n=chris@p5487D83F.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| LaserJock | well, I just see that the MOTU's are always saying "We need more people" and the people are like, "We want to help" | 07:16 |
| ogra | feel free to prepare something r to bring it up in the MOTUMeeting on wednesday | 07:17 |
| dholbach | LaserJock: could you do a wiki page with your proposal? | 07:17 |
| Yagisan | LaserJock: I send my stuff to revu - when it's judged as non-shit(tm) watch me harrass and harrass until it's uploaded | 07:17 |
| dholbach | LaserJock: that'd be the best i guess... so we can identify problems and come up with ideas how to tackle them | 07:17 |
| === bddebian doesn't want help, just more ski11z and time.. ;-P | ||
| dholbach | LaserJock: and discuss it in one of our motu meetings | 07:17 |
| ogra | Yagisan, else we upload it to the its-shit repo :p | 07:17 |
| LaserJock | Yagisan: that's my point, I think that we could have more offical structure for that kind of thing | 07:18 |
| ogra | LaserJock, revu is already a very good structue imho | 07:18 |
| LaserJock | dholbach: fine, I just wanted to know if you guys thought it would be worthy of disscussion at the MOTU meeting | 07:18 |
| Lathiat | Is a package that doesn't operate anymore (e.g. a gmail checker) a good candidate for -updates ? | 07:18 |
| LaserJock | ogra: well, I guess I am thinking more about wiki's and information | 07:19 |
| LaserJock | and maybe I'm just stupid ;-) | 07:19 |
| Yagisan | ogra: nah - some of it is tainted with an activision license that both gives and revokes re-distribution rights, that needs a licensecluebat-repo | 07:19 |
| ogra | Lathiat, in any case it would be one if it wipes data from your disk or something like that | 07:19 |
| dholbach | LaserJock: it is, but we should put more work in a proposal, to know what we're really going to do | 07:19 |
| Lathiat | ogra: right, it doesn't do that | 07:20 |
| Lathiat | ogra: its just useless | 07:20 |
| ogra | Lathiat, i would make such a decision based on user complaints (for my personal work)... its your call :) | 07:20 |
| === bddebian proposes that we just tie ogra and dholbach to their chairs and not let them work on main and edubuntu and such.. ;-P | ||
| ogra | bddebian, :P | 07:21 |
| Nafallo | lol | 07:21 |
| Lathiat | hrm, well, its fixed in breezy actually | 07:21 |
| Lathiat | just not in hoary | 07:21 |

| slomo_ | Riddell: yes... or maybe better breezy-updates? what is the policy for -updates? | 07:35 |

| === markuman [n=supermar@p50926A74.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Riddell | slomo_: updates is only very small patches, no new packages | 07:36 |
| ogra | slomo_, i think it must not introduce intrusive changes to the package and fx serious bugs | 07:36 |
| ogra | (dont ask how serious serious is ;) ) | 07:37 |
| slomo_ | hehe... i just wanted to ask that ;) | 07:37 |
| ogra | wiping your HD would be serious.... a missing feature wouldnt | 07:37 |
| slomo_ | usability improvements? | 07:38 |
| ogra | i dont think thats serious ... but in the ed Kamion and mdz decide how serious something is | 07:38 |
| Mortas | that would be more of a feature improvement | 07:38 |
| ogra | *end | 07:38 |
| slomo_ | ok... then i have exactly nothing atm for -updates, only for -backports ;) | 07:39 |
| Lathiat | we want to keep MOTU bugs assigned to motu right? (and not reassign them to us when we're working on them?) | 07:46 |
| bddebian | Lathiat: Ideally yes so the ML gets the mail | 07:47 |
| dholbach | just reassign to another team | 07:47 |
| dholbach | (if there is one) | 07:47 |
| Lathiat | nah just osmeone reassigning it to themself | 07:48 |
| slomo_ | dholbach: in the future it would be nice to let people assing packages to themselfs... would make it much easier to find bugs one wanted to work on ;) | 07:49 |
| dholbach | slomo_: true that | 07:50 |
| dholbach | hmhmhmh | 07:50 |
| dholbach | it's just for the sake of the list | 07:50 |
| dholbach | a qa-contact like in bugzilla would be cool | 07:50 |
| slomo_ | yes... hmm | 07:50 |
| dholbach | so we could still get the mails on the list | 07:50 |
| slomo_ | or maybe cc the list? | 07:50 |
| dholbach | yeah that'd work too, but it wouldnt turn up in the motu bugs, i guess | 07:51 |
| slomo_ | hmm | 07:51 |
| dholbach | but maybe we don't need that | 07:51 |
| dholbach | if assigning to oneself means: i 1) have the patch in place, 2) really really really work on it and i'm close to a solution :) | 07:52 |
| Lathiat | it'd still be nice if we coudl keep track of all motu related bugs | 07:52 |
| slomo_ | hm, assigning would mean for me that this is a bug i want to take care of ;) | 07:52 |
| Lathiat | else bugs will get lost | 07:52 |
| Lathiat | it would help if you could get a list of bugs yoru subscribed too | 07:52 |
| Lathiat | so you know what yoru working on | 07:53 |
| slomo_ | Lathiat: how it's done now bugs get also lost... i bet i have at least one bug lurking around which i set to accepted | 07:53 |
| Lathiat | slomo_: sure but they can be found still on the | 07:53 |
| Lathiat | motu page | 07:53 |
| Lathiat | if you reassign it to yourself, you cant | 07:53 |
| slomo_ | yes but then i can find it on my page ;) | 07:53 |
| Lathiat | sure | 07:54 |
| Lathiat | but if you forget about it | 07:54 |
| Lathiat | or you go away | 07:54 |
| Lathiat | and dont do things fo ra while | 07:54 |
| Lathiat | its forgotten about | 07:54 |
| slomo_ | yes... that's the problem... | 07:54 |
| Mortas | the idea of assigning to oneself is nice, however it will happen that someone gets bored with it and doesn't want to fix it anymore | 07:54 |
| Mortas | or other random reason | 07:54 |
| Mortas | and then it gets lost | 07:54 |
| Mortas | so you'll need to keep track in the general motu bug list aswell | 07:55 |
| Mortas | to kick the lazy one :) | 07:55 |
| Lathiat | bugs need to "belong" to motu | 07:55 |
| Lathiat | and have the bugs goto the list | 07:55 |
| Lathiat | and available as bugs in packages <something> by motu | 07:55 |
| Lathiat | an dthen i can reassign bugs to myself | 07:55 |
| Lathiat | if need be | 07:55 |
| Mortas | if someone is working on it, might aswell leave a comment stating so | 07:55 |
| Lathiat | without worry | 07:55 |
| LaserJock | what if there is Belongs To: MOTU and Assigned To: *me* that way you have a bit of both? and *me* has to be a member of MOTU? | 07:58 |

| dholbach | both :) | 08:13 |
| LaserJock | anything you want uploaded, pretty much? | 08:14 |
| dholbach | the changelog should be very verbose about the changes | 08:14 |
| dholbach | so nobody has to guess your intentions | 08:15 |

| zyga | dholbach: I've tracked the package to it's home page | 10:48 |
| zyga | dholbach: it's all in japanese though (yay) | 10:48 |
| zyga | I've found a more recent version .5.8 instead of .5.4 | 10:48 |
| zyga | I'll contact the author and last packager for help | 10:49 |
| zyga | I can read some japanese but only very basic stuff | 10:49 |
| dholbach | zyga: rock :) | 10:50 |
| zyga | dholbach: you do know I don't know jack about ruby, don't you? | 10:51 |
| dholbach | i have no idea :) | 10:51 |

| zyga | mitsuhiko^bb: hi | 10:51 |
| zyga | mitsuhiko^bb: ping :-) | 10:51 |

| mitsuhiko^bb | It is multidimensional numeric array class. 1,2,4 byte integers, it is possible to have the single/time precision real number/complex number, and Ruby object in the element. Because of this, the calculation which handles mass numerical value even with Ruby, it reaches the point where it can make simple and high speed. | 10:54 |

| mitsuhiko | sorry guys but i hate you. ubuntu works out of the box on my notebook :p i don't have to do anything. that's unfair | 11:02 |

| \sh | ajmitch: on backports ml | 11:13 |
| ajmitch | right | 11:14 |
| === ajmitch will stay away from yet another mailing list | ||
| zyga | ajmitch: why? | 11:14 |
| Lathiat | heh | 11:14 |
| Lathiat | not another one | 11:14 |
| Lathiat | ;p | 11:14 |
| ajmitch | zyga: because most teams are small enough to just sort things out informally | 11:14 |
| zyga | ajmitch: someone added 'we need a team leader' so I've opened this poll | 11:15 |
| zyga | ajmitch: anyway I do agree with you | 11:15 |
| ajmitch | heh | 11:15 |
| \sh | ajmitch: read it via gmame or archive,) | 11:15 |
| zyga | ajmitch: BTW: the poll is broken anyway so we need to wait untill fixes are merged into production launchpad | 11:15 |

| === ajmitch is at work.. :) | ||
| ajmitch | but I ask.. why me? ;) | 11:28 |
| LaserJock | well, I just was trying to get some feedback from some of the people here I know somewhat | 11:29 |
| ajmitch | right | 11:29 |
| Mortas | w00t my page got in the list without being a motu member | 11:29 |
| Mortas | mwuhaha :) | 11:29 |
| dholbach | Mortas: i un-moderated it :) | 11:29 |
| ajmitch | so far the main differences I see are that people would have a title :) | 11:29 |
| ajmitch | Mortas: your page? | 11:29 |
| Mortas | laserjack put the absolute path thingy in the proposal | 11:29 |
| Mortas | ehm laserjock even | 11:29 |
| dholbach | ah ok... sorry, i was mistaken | 11:29 |
| crimsun | I'm not really sure what MOTU_Apprentice_Proposal really does over and beyond the current | 11:30 |
| LaserJock | well, I guess not much but I think it might foster mentoring | 11:30 |
| LaserJock | and if there is a plea on ubuntuforums or something for more help | 11:30 |
| crimsun | right, so a title like ajmitch was saying? | 11:30 |
| ajmitch | at the moment we do a fair bit of mentoring, and new people are welcome to join teams or get into the action | 11:30 |
| tseng | we dont want to mentor anyone | 11:30 |
| LaserJock | it might help | 11:30 |
| tseng | when i say that | 11:30 |
| ajmitch | tseng: we still end up doing it though | 11:30 |
| tseng | i mean mentor in the most strict sense | 11:31 |
| ajmitch | right | 11:31 |
| Mortas | well I must say that for the rendom new guy that hasn't been talking here there isn't a good starting point on the wiki | 11:31 |
| tseng | ideally people show up here and get their questions answered by anyone | 11:31 |
| ajmitch | we generally just sit around on irc & help out | 11:31 |
| Mortas | and I should know as random new guy :) | 11:31 |
| tseng | they dont hook onto a single person | 11:31 |
| === webtoe [n=alex@87.242.156.94] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Mortas | there should be more 'get on irc' in there | 11:31 |
| tseng | i think working with everyone is better for everyone than a "mentor" | 11:31 |
| ajmitch | Mortas: so wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU should be cleaned up? | 11:31 |
| crimsun | right, mentoring is misleading, because it gives the impression that there's a one-to-one correspondence | 11:31 |
| LaserJock | well, it "seems" to me that people get somewhat different answers to questions that are asked here | 11:32 |
| Mortas | well everything became a lot clearer when I joined this channel, mainly thanks to dholbach | 11:32 |
| LaserJock | depending on who the ask | 11:32 |
| Mortas | so a bigger hint to join this channel would be nice | 11:32 |
| dholbach | yeah | 11:32 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: so that's more of a difference of opinion within the motu group | 11:33 |
| tseng | difference = good | 11:33 |
| tseng | you get to see different methods | 11:33 |
| tseng | which you need... | 11:33 |
| tseng | every package is different | 11:33 |
| LaserJock | difference isn't necessary good if you are looking for consistency | 11:33 |
| tseng | then you are in the wrong place to be painfully truthful | 11:34 |
| Mortas | well my guess would be that there are a lot of people who would like to join, but are afraid to ask where to start because they've gotten used to a flame by now | 11:34 |
| crimsun | dholbach: perhaps we should state up front on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU that MOTU and #ubuntu-motu are strongly linked | 11:34 |
| tseng | no 2 packages are consistant | 11:34 |
| dholbach | crimsun: yeah | 11:34 |
| LaserJock | well, for instance, we have Guidelines for using dpatch on the meeting agenda | 11:34 |
| Mortas | so some generic things like package cleanup or other simple stuff should be on the wiki as a starting point for new people | 11:34 |
| Mortas | with an 'ask X on irc for more information if you get stuck' | 11:34 |
| tseng | LaserJock: i think you are reaching too far to justify your conclusion | 11:34 |
| dholbach | and we should have a wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTURoundTrip, which shows people around | 11:35 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: yes, because use of dpatch is ok in some situations but not all | 11:35 |
| LaserJock | I think my problem is that I didn't have access to IRC for a long time | 11:35 |
| Mortas | good point dholbach, there should be atleast a few basic tutorials or single page with links to information | 11:35 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: but the MOTU are making a "best use" policy on that, correct? | 11:35 |
| Mortas | including for example packaging guidelines, and a link to the motu bugs on linkpad | 11:35 |
| Mortas | ehm launchpad even :) | 11:36 |
| dholbach | we have PackagingTips | 11:36 |
| dholbach | but it's not entirely complete :) | 11:36 |
| ajmitch | and we'll probably link intro developer docs up there | 11:36 |
| tseng | if you guys want to organize the docs, great :) | 11:36 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: do you think a policy on dpatch is needed? | 11:36 |
| LaserJock | ok, well maybe what I am seeing is not very common and I should just shut up | 11:37 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: well there has been some complaints that there is some excessive use | 11:37 |
| Mortas | ok as a total noob I got to the wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU page because I saw it on the participate page on the ubuntu site | 11:37 |
| ajmitch | yes | 11:37 |
| === jeronim` [n=jj@c220-239-76-246.rochd3.qld.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| tseng | there are flames against ubuntu developers from debian all the time | 11:38 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: which I'm going to talk about at the meeting | 11:38 |
| Mortas | but from that page you got the tips page, and the developer resources I would look at | 11:38 |
| Mortas | and that's basically it | 11:38 |
| Mortas | not really enough info if you don't know where to look | 11:38 |
| ajmitch | Mortas: what else do you suggest? | 11:38 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: as I said to ogra, the time is right to put out a recruitment email to -devel & -users | 11:38 |
| dholbach | not only one ;) | 11:39 |
| Mortas | I would suggest to combine the wannabe tips and resources pages a bit | 11:39 |
| LaserJock | ok, here are my 2 main complaints. 1) MOTU documentation is sometimes scattered and hard to find 2) what about people who want to contribute but not be MOTU? | 11:39 |
| Mortas | to make a list of pages with references to package building, a summary of how the bug systems works, a generic bug triaging guide | 11:40 |
| LaserJock | maybe the Apprentice concept is not what I am looking for | 11:40 |
| Mortas | maybe a short intro to the regulars around here | 11:40 |
| LaserJock | Mortas: well, that is what I have in the mockup in my proposal | 11:40 |
| Mortas | making it a bit more of a 'Welcome to our IRC channel' page, with basically a FAQ and Usefull links section | 11:41 |
| === ajmitch is probably more a regular IRC lurker than a regular developer :) | ||
| LaserJock | ajmitch: I think that what I was thinking might help with the recruitment | 11:41 |
| crimsun | LaserJock: RE: (2) there's an entire page on participating: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate/ | 11:41 |
| dredg | urgh i think my eyes are going to start bleeding | 11:41 |
| Mortas | and maybe a list of 'Motu and non-motu fun projects to work on' | 11:41 |
| bddebian | Fun?? ;-) | 11:42 |
| ajmitch | bddebian: get back to work! ;) | 11:42 |
| crimsun | certainly bddebian could use help with all those desktop bugs we're going to punt his way | 11:42 |
| Mortas | Fun aka they're noobs so don't know better, let's give them the boring janitor like jobs mwuahaha page | 11:42 |
| LaserJock | crimsun: yes but that is not very MOTU specific and it doesn't seem to have specific things that need to be done | 11:42 |
| crimsun | ;-) | 11:42 |
| ajmitch | crimsun: s/desktop// | 11:42 |
| crimsun | hehe | 11:42 |
| crimsun | LaserJock: but why does it have to be MOTU-specific? | 11:43 |
| LaserJock | crimsun: well it doesn't have to be, but I think it makes sense to have a MOTU specific one | 11:43 |
| crimsun | MOTU tends to deal with packaging | 11:44 |
| Mortas | well, if you look at the participation page it comes down to 'join the ubuntu-devel mailing list' or 'join motu' | 11:44 |
| bddebian | Bah bddebian is worthless :) | 11:44 |
| Mortas | people are afraid of talking on a mailing list if they've been around previous linux development groups | 11:44 |
| Mortas | aka <insert flamewar here> | 11:45 |
| Mortas | the whole 'yes we're a friendly community thing' doesn't show on most of the dev lists | 11:45 |
| Mortas | more like 'rtfm stfu n00b' | 11:45 |
| ajmitch | Mortas: oh we try to keep flames to a minimum around here | 11:45 |
| bddebian | Mortas: :-) | 11:45 |
| Mortas | yes which is an exception sadly enough | 11:45 |
| crimsun | well, there are 87 nicks in here, but only about a dozen actually pipe up | 11:45 |

| Mortas | hmm strange people who live in a different timezone | 11:46 |
| crimsun | I think we certainly can make the tie between MOTU and #ubuntu-motu more prominent | 11:46 |
| Mortas | burns them! | 11:46 |
| Mortas | no wait :) | 11:46 |
| Mortas | yes I think that would make it a lot easier | 11:46 |
| ajmitch | we can probably have more of a gentle introduction of things to do on the wiki | 11:46 |
| Mortas | although of course to be honest most of the wannabee linux distro hackers are shy | 11:47 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: taking notes? ;) | 11:47 |
| Mortas | but that's not our problem :) | 11:47 |
| ajmitch | true | 11:47 |
| === ajmitch is still a wannabe hacker | ||
| Mortas | ehm same here, I just joined this afternoon | 11:47 |
| Mortas | and I've been ranting a bit too much maybe :) | 11:47 |
| LaserJock | ok, well this proposal is just they way I would got about getting involved, but if other people see it differently I am certianly not stuck on the idea | 11:47 |
| Mortas | plus spammed the wiki and bugs list | 11:47 |
| LaserJock | I | 11:47 |
| LaserJock | I'm not even close to being a MOTU so you guys can just tell me to shut up ;-) | 11:48 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: critical discussion is good :) | 11:48 |
| dholbach | ok guys, i'm off to bed - have a nice evening :) | 11:49 |
| crimsun | night daniel | 11:49 |
| dholbach | ajmitch: no, i was a bit too tired for that, sorry | 11:49 |
| dholbach | night daniel | 11:49 |
| LaserJock | I think the big thing for me is that I learn a lot by reading (more so than on IRC) | 11:50 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: j/k, I was logging & will look over what we discussed | 11:50 |
| dholbach | rock | 11:50 |
| LaserJock | gnight dholbach | 11:50 |
| dholbach | :) | 11:50 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: good night :) | 11:50 |
| dholbach | night andrew, night LaserJock | 11:50 |
| LaserJock | do you guys think that there are many non-MOTU are here that wouldn't become MOTU given the chance? | 11:52 |
| LaserJock | because of time constraints or whatever | 11:52 |
| ajmitch | possibly | 11:53 |
| ajmitch | although the bar to entry in't that high | 11:53 |
| LaserJock | see, that is kinda where I am at and maybe that is why I like the idea of having MOTU Apprentices | 11:53 |
| ajmitch | we already have a number of lapsed MOTUs due to time commitments or otherwise | 11:53 |
| dredg | like me | 11:54 |
| LaserJock | well, if you have 2 bars, one can be quite a bit higher | 11:54 |
| LaserJock | I was kinda thinking about if a lot of people get recruited to MOTU then it might be harder to ensure quality | 11:55 |
| dredg | though i'm now in a position where i'll soon be able to contribute to ubuntu again | 11:55 |
| === Tifa [n=alucard@cpc3-cove3-5-1-cust39.brhm.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ajmitch | LaserJock: so what do you suggest is possible for apprentices? since they wouldn't be able to upload directly | 11:57 |
| LaserJock | basicly, not much would be different just organized more | 11:57 |
| ajmitch | which is pretty much the only bar we have separating MOTU from non-MOTU | 11:57 |
| ajmitch | and that is set by the TB | 11:57 |
| LaserJock | they would be in contact with their team leader and they would be using REVU | 11:58 |
| ajmitch | they can do that now | 11:58 |
| ajmitch | we have non-MOTU forming teams | 11:58 |
| LaserJock | right, I am not saying anything radical, I don't think | 11:58 |
| LaserJock | I am just saying, make it more organized | 11:59 |
| LaserJock | It seems to be working fine now | 11:59 |
| LaserJock | but what about in the future? | 11:59 |
| Mortas | more like writing it down for the future then? | 11:59 |
| LaserJock | s/fine/mostly/ | 11:59 |
| ajmitch | then how would one qualify to be an apprentice? | 11:59 |
| LaserJock | I'm not sure but I think that being an Ubuntit with a signed GPG key would be good | 12:00 |
| LaserJock | basicly what ever you need for REVU | 12:00 |
| Kyral | okay... | 12:00 |
| Kyral | are the mirrors like crapped? | 12:00 |
| Kyral | 'cause I was helping someone install Ubuntu and when I tried to install like dev libs, I got 404 Errors | 12:01 |
| ajmitch | Kyral: not that I'm aware of | 12:01 |
| LaserJock | I just think it might help the MOTU keep better track of what the non-MOTU are doing | 12:01 |
| Kyral | Well, trying to install Java-Package gave him a 404 | 12:01 |
| ajmitch | which is why we have teams for those specific areas | 12:02 |
