| sabdfl | Kamion: the .dsc file i'm looking at has a Source: and Binary: lines, and a Version:. It also seems to list 2 files, the orig.tgz and the diff.gz, with digests. Why does it not give the digest of the .deb too? | 12:12 |
| sabdfl | is there a file which has the .deb's with digests, produced by a single build of the source package? | 12:13 |
| jbailey | sabdfl: The .dsc file is for the source files. The .changes file is for the .debs | 12:13 |
| jbailey | The changes file also includes the digest for the .dsc. | 12:14 |
| sabdfl | jbailey: ok. does the .changes file include sha1's? | 12:18 |
| jbailey | sabdfl: They're md5sums. | 12:18 |
| sabdfl | ok | 12:18 |
| sabdfl | hmm... ok, that's a start, anyhow | 12:18 |
| jbailey | I can include my standard wishlist response about package signatures here. =) | 12:19 |
| sabdfl | jbailey: you betcha. we need to improve the whole structure. only question is how to transition it :-) | 12:19 |
| sabdfl | though it does work remarkably well | 12:19 |
| jbailey | I think it depends which problems we're trying to solve first, really. | 12:19 |
| jbailey | The nice part is that almost any change I can think of has been debated around enough times, so we never have to start from square 1. | 12:20 |
| sabdfl | we just have to pick a square? there are so many to choose from. vote for mjg59 to improve our square selection algorithms. | 12:20 |
| sabdfl | where can i get the copy of the .changes file for any given binary in the archive? | 12:21 |
| ogra | heh | 12:21 |
| jbailey | Isn't he a biologist? I don't think square things occur in biology. =) | 12:21 |

| jbailey | The .changes files get eaten by elmo's harem in processing. IIRC, In Debian they're kept somewhere for auditing afterwards. | 12:21 |
| kiko | jbailey, are they in katie, I wonder -- or the information? | 12:22 |
| ogra | they are at least on a -changes ML | 12:22 |
| jbailey | kiko: Dunno. I looked at it when I was running the hurd-i386 buildd, and when I was writing multibuild and turtle, but that was a few years ago. =) | 12:23 |

| fabbione | schweeb_: yes i did hear from several people. What do you need to know exactly? | 06:43 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: i can tell you that in 99% of the cases X autoconfiguration will not work and mostlikely hang your machine at end of phase2 | 06:44 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: if your box is SMP with Sparc III or > you need to run UP kernels | 06:45 |
| schweeb_ | heard anything specifically from people on 1500s possibly? | 06:45 |
| schweeb_ | it's a single proc IIIi, 1.5ghz, iirc | 06:45 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: if you have qla2200 controller or similar you might get a problem on the 3rd reboot (patch is pending for the next kernel) | 06:45 |
| fabbione | UP is fine. | 06:45 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: i think David Miller installed on his SB1000 | 06:46 |
| fabbione | without any problem | 06:46 |
| fabbione | other than X.. that's it | 06:46 |
| fabbione | and they are pretty similar hw | 06:46 |
| schweeb_ | is there a ports mailing list or anything, or where is the proper place to discuss this, so I don't bug people (you) on dev all the time :-P | 06:47 |
| schweeb_ | (ports mailing list that is) | 06:47 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: we have #ubuntu-ports | 06:47 |

| schweeb_ | I'm just hyped to possibly get rid of Solaris 10 at work, heh.... my last experiences with hoary and Blade 2000 weren't that good though | 06:48 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: yes i know.. hoary was crap on sparc | 06:48 |
| fabbione | at least the installer works for breezy | 06:49 |
| fabbione | and in theory it goes all the way to gdm :) | 06:49 |
| schweeb_ | heh | 06:50 |
| fabbione | (modulo X autoconf/hanging) | 06:50 |
| schweeb_ | I can handle X config | 06:50 |
| fabbione | exactly :) | 06:50 |
| schweeb_ | been doing that crap for years now | 06:50 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: btw.. OO2 on sparc is way way way faster than the amd64 equivalent :P | 06:50 |
| schweeb_ | haha | 06:50 |
| fabbione | and i mean a lot faster | 06:50 |
| fabbione | amd64 3000+ 1G or RAM idle.. 16 secs to open oowriter | 06:51 |

| schweeb_ | I just feel more comfortable in a linux environment | 06:51 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: eheh i understand.. slowlaris is not exactly nice, if you don't know it in deep details | 06:52 |
| schweeb_ | fabbione: if I weren't proxied off, I'd offer up a few workstations for distcc'ing | 06:52 |

| schweeb_ | ssh tunneling of any sort doesn't work | 06:53 |
| schweeb_ | not sure how vtun works though | 06:54 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: check vtun on port 80 :) | 06:54 |
| schweeb_ | I know when I was doing SSH tunneling over 443, they figured it out, and looked for the OpenSSH advert | 06:54 |
| fabbione | ah | 06:54 |
| schweeb_ | so they're doing some kind of app layer filtering or something now | 06:55 |
| fabbione | they are not that blind than | 06:55 |
| schweeb_ | right :-/ | 06:55 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: what protocols can you contact outside? | 06:55 |
| schweeb_ | HTTP, HTTPS, FTP | 06:55 |
| fabbione | oh plenty | 06:55 |
| schweeb_ | I'll hafta look into vtun | 06:56 |
| fabbione | schweeb_: check vtun.. and see if you can make it to talk on port 20 | 06:56 |
| fabbione | (ftp-data) | 06:56 |
| schweeb_ | most of the stuff I saw that people used revolved around running SSH on alternate ports, so I kinda gave up | 06:56 |
| fabbione | there is no way a proxy can really understand what kind of traffic is passing there | 06:56 |
| schweeb_ | at least I think I can do FTP, haven't tried in a while | 06:57 |
| schweeb_ | not much in the way of docs | 07:00 |

| fabbione | CD installs are broken | 07:04 |
| fabbione | but the netinstall can cope with proxies just fine | 07:04 |
| schweeb_ | ugh | 07:05 |
| fabbione | well if you are talking about the miniso it's fine | 07:05 |
| schweeb_ | I couldn't get rarp working today | 07:05 |
| fabbione | but you can't do pure CD installs | 07:05 |
| schweeb_ | yea, mini.iso "net install"... CD boot, networked install | 07:05 |
| fabbione | i wrote that in the announce | 07:05 |
| fabbione | yup | 07:05 |
| fabbione | that works just fine | 07:05 |
| schweeb_ | good good | 07:05 |
| schweeb_ | couldn't get rarp or bootp working... think they block broadcasts at the switches | 07:06 |
| fabbione | yeah that's not an issue.. just use the miniso | 07:06 |
| schweeb_ | k | 07:06 |
| fabbione | but you can't do normal CD install because apt is crashorama with sources.list deb file:// | 07:06 |
| fabbione | and we did find out a bit too late | 07:07 |

| sabdfl | ajmitch: as discussed, where we are creating the packages, we don't do that | 10:41 |
| sabdfl | Xorg | 10:41 |
| sabdfl | and others | 10:41 |
| ajmitch | right, in universe we tend to do that though | 10:41 |
| sabdfl | i'm even not convinced about the first bullet point, since cross grading is not supported | 10:41 |
| sabdfl | ajmitch: please don't | 10:41 |
| Kamion | there's actually a problem with initramfs-tools at the moment due to that - it's been incorporated into Debian, and now is being developed on both sides with clashing version numbers | 10:41 |
| ajmitch | specifically that it becomes 1.2.3-0ubuntu1 | 10:41 |

| seb128 | is there any plan to fix the website certificate? | 10:42 |

| sabdfl | elmo told me to tell people the certs are broken because he is crap | 10:42 |
| sabdfl | ;-) | 10:42 |
| seb128 | ah ah :) | 10:42 |
| sabdfl | if we do the work to get it up, debian can defer to that | 10:42 |
| Kamion | they generally won't, though :-) | 10:43 |
| sabdfl | Kamion: on the server iso's, is smp installed by default | 10:43 |
| sabdfl | Kamion: the polite folks will win over, given time | 10:43 |
| ogra | sabdfl, the versioning is important in universe for packages entering debian at some point. they can be synced more easy so we lower the workload | 10:43 |
| sabdfl | ogra: debian can equally well sync from ubuntu | 10:43 |
| Kamion | sabdfl: should be; the SMP kernels are on the CD | 10:43 |
| sabdfl | we should not put ourselves in the position where we plan to do the work on both sides | 10:44 |
| Kamion | haven't tested though, I have no SMP systems :-) | 10:44 |
| sabdfl | that's not collaboration | 10:44 |
| sabdfl | Kamion: so, in theory, it should detect that and install the smp ones by default? | 10:44 |
| sabdfl | if its an smp box? | 10:44 |
| Kamion | sabdfl: in theory. we're missing some changes to d-i post-breezy-UVF that improved SMP detection | 10:44 |
| Kamion | so I would not like to guarantee it | 10:45 |
| sabdfl | ok. i'll trust in The Force and put it in the announcement. | 10:45 |
| Kamion | rootskel (1.19) unstable; urgency=low | 10:45 |
| Kamion | * Add boot scripts for x86 and alpha to grep dmesg for strings indicating an | 10:45 |
| Kamion | SMP machine and store this info in /var/numcpus for later use by | 10:45 |

| sivang | Morning all! | 10:46 |
| pitti | Hi sivang | 10:46 |
| ajmitch | morning sivang, pitti | 10:46 |
| Kamion | sabdfl: even if that fails, people will at least get the -686, -k7, -amd64-k8, etc. kernels, which is still an improvement | 10:46 |
| ajmitch | sabdfl: if we upload as 1.2.3-1, and debian does the same with a different package, we'll get changes overwritten on next debian upload | 10:47 |
| \sh | sabdfl: so you think we should name new packages in debian as it is with new packages in debian? maj.min.rev-1? | 10:48 |
| Kamion | right, including "ubuntu" in our version numbers is a defence | 10:48 |
| Kamion | against autosync | 10:48 |
| Kamion | if we drop it we're going to get autosyncs when we don't expect them | 10:48 |
| \sh | grmpf... | 10:48 |
| \sh | 10:48 < \sh> sabdfl: so you think we should name new packages in debian^Wubuntu as it is with new packages in debian? maj.min.rev-1? | 10:49 |
| ajmitch | \sh: patience :) | 10:49 |
| Kamion | ajmitch: he was correcting himself, "debian^Wubuntu" | 10:49 |
| sabdfl | hmm. | 10:49 |
| ajmitch | aha | 10:49 |
| sabdfl | in future, we will be syncing from LP to LP, which gives us the ability to be smarter about this | 10:49 |
| ajmitch | the autosync issue shows up when we have differing dependencies for example (python 2.3 vs 2.4) | 10:50 |
| === freeflying [n=rockie@61.190.65.6] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | even so it will be difficult to accurately merge changelogs (on the human side) if version numbers clash too often | 10:50 |
| Kamion | and just highly confusing in general | 10:50 |
| Kamion | with good cooperation I agree you can resolve most problems, but you do have to have active cooperation :) | 10:52 |
| \sh | sabdfl: I don | 10:52 |
| Kamion | I recently added an epoch to new rewritten tzsetup-udeb and apt-setup-udeb packages in Debian to make sure they would supersede our base-config-based hacks, for instance | 10:52 |
| \sh | sabdfl: I don't see the point? what is the problem at all, to have something line -0ubuntu1? it gives the utnubu people the possibilty to see new packages in ubuntu and not in debian easily..and I think it's better for a good co-operation of ubuntu and debian... a plain debian version scheme will cause more confusion | 10:53 |

| === hunger [n=hunger@p54A632B8.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| sabdfl | \sh: part of the challenge of collaborating with debian is that the debian guys tend to assume they should not have to think or do anything different | 10:54 |
| sabdfl | if we continue to reinforce that, there's no incentive for them to decide they really want to collaborate | 10:54 |
| sabdfl | collaboration is a two way street | 10:54 |
| ogra | the big advantage is that debian grabs our packages, does the main work on them and we can easily resync and only do minor tweaks... we loose this ability | 10:54 |
| sabdfl | no matter how far we bend, we can't do it alone | 10:54 |
| pitti | sabdfl: but what does this have to do with version numbers? | 10:54 |
| sabdfl | pitti: nothing, except that our current sync system looks at them, imo | 10:55 |
| pitti | sabdfl: by not being able to tell apart the origin of a package, we make it harder for both us and Debian AFAICS | 10:55 |
| sabdfl | pitti: why should debian own OUR package version namespace? | 10:55 |
| sabdfl | and in LP, we can tell the origin of a package | 10:55 |
| pitti | sabdfl: it's not ours | 10:55 |
| Kamion | because it's not our namespace | 10:55 |
| sabdfl | yes it is | 10:55 |
| pitti | sabdfl: Debian invented it and we adopted it | 10:55 |
| Kamion | we are merging with Debian; in order to do that we MUST share the namespace | 10:55 |
| pitti | we based Ubuntu on Debian, so it is unfair to hijack Debian's namespace | 10:55 |
| sabdfl | were not hijacking it | 10:56 |
| Kamion | the fact that we're merging means that we have to] | 10:56 |
| sabdfl | the issue comes when packages move between the two | 10:56 |
| sabdfl | so, we need to be smart when we bring debian packages into ubuntu, and they need to be smart when they do the reverse | 10:56 |
| pitti | sabdfl: you mean an Ubuntu package is adopted to Debian? | 10:56 |
| pitti | right | 10:56 |
| sabdfl | if we assume the responsibility of getting it right both ways, we will always be on the back foot | 10:56 |
| pitti | debian->ubuntu works well so far, I see the difficulty in the other direction | 10:56 |
| Kamion | I agree that Debian need to be smart, but it's not Debian we're helping by -0ubuntu1, it's ourselves | 10:57 |
| ogra | pitti, worked fine in the past | 10:57 |
| sabdfl | pitti: currently debian -> ubntu depends on the version number, for autosync | 10:57 |
| pitti | so you mean we can't easily sync ubuntu packages to debian | 10:57 |
| sabdfl | we can discuss this more at UBZ | 10:57 |
| pitti | yes, probably better | 10:57 |
| sabdfl | the main thrust of what i'm getting at is not technical, it's psychological | 10:57 |
| pitti | probably I don't see the full background yet | 10:57 |
| dholbach | sabdfl: i'd perfectly agree with you, if the changelog would be as clear as possible (referring to patches that are available on the net and changes are mentioned) | 10:57 |
| ogra | sabdfl, it currently depends on the -XubuntuX tag, not on the numbering | 10:58 |
| dholbach | but in the most cases it's not | 10:58 |
| Kamion | I think we need to consider other technical approaches, or we're going to shoot ourselves in the foot | 10:58 |
| sabdfl | we need to see the relationship between ubuntu and debian as one of peers, not master/servant | 10:58 |
| sabdfl | and they need to do so too | 10:58 |
| pitti | sabdfl: it almost seems that we need kind of a "Distribution:" field in source package .dsc files | 10:58 |
| Kamion | it's called Origin:, HTH | 10:58 |
| sabdfl | if we continue to act in a master/servant way, it will reinforce that perception on the other side | 10:58 |
| pitti | Kamion: oh, thanks | 10:58 |
| sabdfl | anyhow | 10:58 |
| === zyga keeps listening with great interest | ||
| pitti | we need *something* that tells apart Ubuntu and Debian versions, otherwise we'll step on each other's feet | 10:59 |
| ajmitch | pitti: agreed | 10:59 |
| zyga | what about -ubuntu- ? | 10:59 |
| pitti | I agree that there are maybe more elegant somethings than the version | 10:59 |
| ogra | sabdfl, i dont see a master/servant thing here, we create a package, debian grabs it, does the further work and we can resync from them ith having less work | 10:59 |
| ogra | it saves manpower | 10:59 |
| ogra | (for us) | 10:59 |
| sabdfl | ogra: if we are the ones always having to step out of the namespace, we are the servant | 10:59 |
| Keybuk | sabdfl: I agree with you philosophically, but technically your argument is bullshit :p we need that ubuntu marker so we no not to overwrite our own changes when we take from Debian | 10:59 |
| dholbach | the problem is rather finding the changes, not indicating that there were changes at all, which kamion already said | 10:59 |
| sabdfl | kamion's point on defensiveness is exactly right | 10:59 |
| Keybuk | we can talk about removing it when we have an LP sync infrastructure | 11:00 |
| sabdfl | it *does* help us to stay out of debian's way | 11:00 |
| \sh | well...actually it sounds like the RPM problem a couple of years ago | 11:00 |
| sabdfl | but that also reinforces the perception, on both sides, that we should somehow always defer | 11:00 |
| Keybuk | it isn't there for debian, it's there for us | 11:00 |
| Kamion | \sh: yeah, and RPM is now a hideous minefield nobody trusts because they broke each others' namespaces | 11:00 |
| zyga | Keybuk: BTW: I've got a patch for your fanboy applet | 11:00 |
| pitti | maybe we can actually use Origin: for that distinction | 11:00 |
| ajmitch | seeing two packages with the same version, yet different changes made, is going to be very confusing | 11:00 |
| sabdfl | we'll figure it out | 11:00 |
| \sh | Kamion: yes...because there was no way to tell if it's a redhat/suse/mandrake rpm...only from the inside u could see who worked out more strange code ,-) | 11:01 |
| sabdfl | the goal we set was to be "good at collaborating", but that does not mean "avoiding stepping on other toes" | 11:01 |
| pitti | sabdfl: sounds like an interesting BoF topic :-) | 11:01 |
| Kamion | there's also the issue of dependencies | 11:01 |
| Kamion | versioned ones, specifically | 11:01 |
| sabdfl | pitti: we spoke about this at both mataro and sydney | 11:01 |
| Keybuk | there's also the issue of finding a common base for merges | 11:01 |
| Kamion | I realise our current system is a bit broken (1.0-2 > 1.0-1ubuntu1 but not necessarily an ancestor), but at least if you see "ubuntu" in a versioned dependency you know that it depends on an Ubuntu feature and can take account of that while merging | 11:02 |
| sabdfl | and the conclusion in both cases was that it is not possible to do a proper job of giving apt enough information to know exactly how to cross-grade | 11:02 |
| pitti | oh, then I probably had been in other BoFs at that time | 11:02 |
| Keybuk | we can't do that if we can't trust our changelog to not stamp over debian version numbering | 11:02 |
| Kamion | if we lose that we will really have no clue whatsoever about what's going on | 11:02 |
| Kamion | I rely on that in debconf/base-config/similar a lot | 11:02 |
| sabdfl | therefor, it makes no sense to give the IMPRESSION that it is doable. | 11:02 |
| Kamion | I'm not particularly bothered about cross-grading personally | 11:03 |
| Keybuk | sabdfl: but those ubuntu markers _are_not_ there for cross-grading | 11:03 |
| sabdfl | keybuk's right, this does depend on our ability to know automatically the pedigree of a package, and be smart | 11:03 |
| sabdfl | Keybuk: they were initially | 11:03 |
| Keybuk | no, they weren't | 11:03 |
| sabdfl | yes they were | 11:03 |
| Keybuk | they were also there so we knew where to merge from | 11:03 |
| infinity | sabdfl : The only way to cross-grade halfway reliably is with a pin-priority > 1000, which will force downgrades to the "right" packages. I'm not sure changing how we version things will fix that. | 11:03 |
| sabdfl | no, thats just how you started to use them :-) | 11:03 |
| === \sh looks at his glas sphere....and is seeing libx11-dev (>= 7.0.1@ubuntu) or (>= 7.0.0@debian) where ubuntu/debian is coming from an "Origin/Distribution" field in control ,) | ||
| zyga | \sh: that's a good point | 11:04 |
| sabdfl | \sh: that's the point. we can't reliably provide enough information for the package management system to understand two distros | 11:04 |
| Kamion | letting developers know what's going on on either side is far more important than cross-grading or anything to do with apt IMO | 11:04 |
| sabdfl | LET ALONE debian + ubuntu + guadalinex | 11:04 |

| Kamion | without feature dependencies we don't have a better option there currently | 11:05 |
| sabdfl | Kamion: right, but there must be a better way to do that than trying to bung this info in the version number | 11:05 |
| sabdfl | we had this conversation in mataro | 11:05 |
| sabdfl | look at the rpath mess | 11:05 |
| sabdfl | branched version number hell | 11:05 |
| dholbach_ | it requires more organisation and clarity in the packaging on both sides, i don't think we can solve that technically | 11:05 |
| Kamion | sabdfl: definitely in the future, but it's *not there yet* so abandoning our current system before it's there is scary | 11:05 |
| sabdfl | ok, agreed | 11:05 |

| pitti | Kamion: but it seems that this requires far more discipline and awareness from package maintainers than the current system | 11:06 |
| Kamion | pitti: that's true | 11:06 |
| Kamion | of course package maintainers for whom it doesn't matter don't have to use them | 11:07 |
| pitti | Kamion: e. g. for libraries we can generate versioned deps with shlibs, we can hardly do that with features | 11:07 |
| pitti | it would rock, but I'm not sure whether it scales robustly to 10.000 packages | 11:07 |
| Kamion | I don't think it would be needed in 10,000 packages | 11:07 |
| sabdfl | \sh: please go ahead and make that change | 11:07 |
| pitti | no, of course not | 11:07 |
| Kamion | stuff like debconf and cdebconf is where it really wins - at the moment we're trying to transition to cdebconf yet nobody knows what features in debconf people are really relying on that aren't in cdebconf yet | 11:08 |

| Kamion | pitti: still sudo | 11:11 |
| Kamion | by the elmo-o-meter I figured that was probably ok ;) | 11:12 |
| pitti | Kamion: I learned to love sudo on my desktop, but I'm still using root on my server; but maybe that's just me | 11:12 |
| infinity | pitti : I don't have a password on my root users on servers. | 11:12 |
| infinity | pitti : (I sometimes have a joey-inspired root backdoor user if I feel the need, but root itself has no password) | 11:12 |
| pitti | infinity: I'm still paranoid enough to not allow root ssh login, so that an attacker has to overcome two passwords | 11:12 |
| === \sh sounds like a LP n00b, _but where do I add the spec?_ | ||
| sivang | sabdfl: how do you add something to the ubz agenda? this page seems immutable | 11:12 |
| infinity | pitti : They'd have to overcome an SSH key and a password for me, since I only use passwords for sudo, not for SSH logins. | 11:13 |
| ajmitch | \sh: see URL I pasted above | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | * Includes server-oriented kernels with out-of-the-box | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | automatic support for multiprocessor systems | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | * Includes a wide variety of popular server applications | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | such as apache, mysql, postgresql, php, zope, openldap, | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | bind, samba, all on the single CD, ready for installation | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | * A slim default installation, occupying just 400 megabytes: | 11:13 |
| pitti | infinity: right | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | add only the software you need, for a clean, maintainable | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | configuration. | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | * Provides no desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, etc.) by default | 11:13 |
| infinity | pitti : So, similar effect, but still no root password (and easier sharing of root privs with others) | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | * Safe and text-oriented boot mode for better clarity and | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | infinite justice on boot. | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | * Secure by design, with no network ports active after install | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | and automatic, free security updates activated | 11:13 |
| sabdfl | would that be fair? | 11:13 |
| Kamion | infinite justice> :-) | 11:14 |
| Kamion | that looks pretty good to me | 11:14 |
| sabdfl | a little fnord for those who care | 11:14 |
| === infinity thinks the last point was actually a mistake, and the 'server' image should have installed openssh-server, but whatever. | ||
| pitti | Kamion: oh, just to make sure (I haven't checked): you install "postgresql-8.0", not "postgresql", right? | 11:14 |
| === sabdfl thinks infinity does not remember the last openssh-server vulnerability | ||
| Kamion | pitti: both 7.4 and 8.0 are on the CD | 11:15 |
| Kamion | we don't install either by default | 11:15 |
| sabdfl | nothing should be installed by default | 11:15 |
| pitti | ah, I see | 11:15 |
| infinity | sabdfl : s/last/only/? Yeah, I still remember the hell we went through in Debian getting that all sorted. | 11:15 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: oh, that reminds me, I had some weird freaky error from ssh early | 11:16 |
| Kamion | pitti: bare postgresql isn't on the CD, only postgresql-<stuff> | 11:16 |
| \sh | ajmitch: thx...but first I have to do real life work :( | 11:16 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: Corrupted MAC on input | 11:16 |
| pitti | Kamion: good, thanks | 11:16 |
| Keybuk | Kamion: any idea what that means? | 11:16 |
| ajmitch | \sh: yeah, I know how that feels :) | 11:16 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: er, usually means actual network data corruption AFAIK | 11:16 |
| sabdfl | infinity: yeah, i only remember one too. | 11:16 |
| Keybuk | it went away after I rebooted the server | 11:16 |
| infinity | sabdfl : But on any "server" worthy of the name, SSH is your only head (unless you're lucky enough to have LOM hooked up) | 11:16 |
| Keybuk | isn't network data corruption impossible under TCP? :p | 11:17 |
| Kamion | it means that the MAC on (seqnr, packet) didn't match | 11:17 |
| sabdfl | infinity: point being, if he installs it, it's HIS head ;-) | 11:17 |
| sivang | lol | 11:17 |
| infinity | <shrug>... Fair enough. We're all bright enough to install ssh ourselves. | 11:17 |
| infinity | I'll retract my opposition. :) | 11:17 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: well, either that or ssh is horribly confused, obviously, but I don't know the packet layer anywhere near well enough to guess | 11:17 |
| sabdfl | \sh: go to any product, or distro, in launchpad, click on Specifications tab at the top, then "Register New Specification" | 11:18 |
| infinity | I still need to look at the base package set that server installs get, and see if we can make it even smaller. I tend to start from just about nothing on my machines. | 11:18 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: did restarting sshd not help? | 11:18 |
| sabdfl | so, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs | 11:18 |
| sivang | ha! found it :) | 11:18 |
| Kamion | it won't make any difference to the server install, but I'd like to move the filesystem stuff from minimal out to standard at some point | 11:18 |
| sabdfl | \sh: to add a spec to the UBZ agenda, first register it in LP as above, then view the spec, and look for "Add to Meeting Agenda" in the menu | 11:18 |

| Kamion | there's also some stuff that can move out once base-config goes away, although I think that's probably post-dapper | 11:20 |

| ajmitch | hello Kinnison | 11:21 |
| sivang | Kinnison: Morning! | 11:21 |
| Kamion | perhaps the last remaining network clients should move out to standard too | 11:21 |
| sabdfl | sivang: problem there is the selector gets more complex because you'd have to pick product/distro, then the spec | 11:21 |
| Kamion | (ethtool, iputils-ping, mii-diag, netcat - on second thoughts maybe not the mii/ethtool stuff) | 11:22 |
| sivang | sabdfl: ah | 11:22 |
| Kamion | infinity: the problem with minimal is that it's overloaded between (a) stuff you shouldn't remove and (b) stuff needed for the first boot to work properly | 11:22 |
| Kamion | alsa's in there so that blacklists are there at the first boot | 11:23 |
| pitti | Hi Kinnison! AWTY? :-) | 11:23 |

| Kinnison | pitti: I'm eager to let you | 11:25 |

| Kinnison | pitti: just gotta get the data imported cleanly first | 11:26 |
| hunger | pitti: Well, -minimal kind of suggest that you shouldn't remove the stuff in there. | 11:26 |

| Lathiat | Gentoo founder and former Gentoo Chief Architect Daniel Robbins began a new position at Microsoft on 23 May 2005. According to drobbins: "I'm helping Microsoft to understand Open Source and community-based projects." | 02:09 |
| Lathiat | http://www.gentoo.org/news/20050613-drobbins.xml | 02:09 |
| infinity | Ironic, given that Gentoo snagged Debian's Social Contract as a basis for their own. That's not the sort of thing you'd expect from someone who the njumps ship to the proprietary software world. | 02:09 |
| HiddenWolf | infinity, it's not like he's a traitor to the cause. :P | 02:10 |
| Lathiat | infinity: i guess he takes the "helping Microsoft to understand Open Source and communit-basd projects" to justify that | 02:10 |

| Lathiat | h no | 02:13 |
| Lathiat | thats talkign about someone else | 02:13 |
| TMM | I was told to talk to you for some laptop-related trouble | 02:13 |
| Lathiat | i misread it | 02:13 |
| jdub | infinity: they just announced three open source licenses today | 02:13 |
| HiddenWolf | infinity, so MS is evil by definition? | 02:13 |
| TMM | hey jdub ! see you in a couple of hours ;) | 02:13 |
| jdub | infinity: one bsd-like, one mpl/cddl-like, one look-but-don't-touch | 02:14 |
| Lathiat | mpl/cddl ? | 02:14 |
| jdub | annoying that it's more branded license proliferation | 02:14 |
| infinity | jdub : But what will they license under said licenses? | 02:14 |
| jdub | but definitely going in the right direction | 02:14 |
| TMM | mjg59, I've got a host of compaq laptops here, with extra multimedia keys that require some magic poking of memory to get them to work | 02:15 |
| infinity | HiddenWolf : Did I say that? | 02:15 |
| jdub | infinity: their existing open source stuff, like ironpythonwix, etc. | 02:15 |
| mjg59 | It's technically poking of the keyboard controller, but yeah | 02:15 |
| TMM | mjg59, ah, you know that already? | 02:15 |
| HiddenWolf | infinity, it's the impression you give me. | 02:15 |
| mjg59 | Yeah, but I don't have any hardware here to test it | 02:15 |
| TMM | mjg59, I've got 3 :) | 02:15 |
| TMM | mjg59, and I've got the magic values for the rest of the keys too | 02:16 |
| TMM | mjg59, also, there is a led next to the mute button, that you can set/unset by poking the keyboard controller | 02:17 |
| mjg59 | Eww | 02:17 |
| TMM | mjg59, I know, it is not my design, I'm just the messenger | 02:17 |
| === Lathiat laughs | ||
| TMM | mjg59, and, the best part, it has absolutly nothing to do with either the soundcard or the mute button, you have to sync that manually :) | 02:18 |

| TMM | so, anyway | 02:18 |

| TMM | ? | 02:19 |
| TMM | if so, I have a couple of ideas on how :) | 02:19 |
| TMM | some dirtier than others :) | 02:19 |
| Treenaks | TMM: look at the hotkey-setup package | 02:19 |
| Treenaks | TMM: you could do a conditional poke when you detect one of your known compaqs | 02:20 |

| TMM | Treenaks, indeed :) | 02:20 |
| infinity | HiddenWolf : I don't believe Microsoft is (or always will be) pure evil. I do think it's ironic for someone to go from a "we will always be 100% free software" thing to a "teaching a bit about open source to the largest proprietary software vendor in the world who will certainly never make their core business units free without a court order or bankbruptcy" | 02:21 |

| mjg59 | I have a Mac. I want to boot it off CD. | 02:22 |
| mjg59 | My usb/ps2 adapter doesn't seem to power up fully until too late. | 02:23 |
| mjg59 | How can I make this work? | 02:23 |
| Lathiat | haha | 02:23 |
| TMM | mjg59, I think you need to press and hold "d" :) | 02:23 |

| Lathiat | mjg59: dont have another keyboard or something? | 02:23 |
| mjg59 | Lathiat: I have no USB keyboards | 02:23 |
| Lathiat | that sucks | 02:23 |
| TMM | mjg59, get one :) | 02:23 |
| TMM | mjg59, or get a better converter ;) | 02:23 |
| mjg59 | I'm not buying a keyboard just to boot this device once | 02:23 |
| Lathiat | maybe you can poke something in openfirmware from macosx or something | 02:24 |
| TMM | mjg59, you can set the boot device from macosx settings thingy somewhere | 02:24 |
| TMM | mjg59, perhaps you can set it to cdrom as well | 02:24 |
| Lathiat | careful in case you cant get it back? ;p | 02:24 |
| mjg59 | TMM: That doesn't let you set CDs | 02:24 |
| TMM | I think there's a linux tool to set it too | 02:24 |
| TMM | mjg59, ok, sorry, wasn't sure | 02:24 |

| mjg59 | Kamion: Yeah. | 02:25 |
| Kamion | mjg59: Google suggests that the Darwin console has an 'nvram' command | 02:26 |
| TMM | mjg59, should I poke the keyboard controller from hotkey-setup or from the acpi scripts? | 02:26 |
| Kamping_Kaise1 | im not sure if i should ask here, but if its not your going to tell me ;). i was wondering why ISA sound cards have had their support dropped from hoary and breezy? | 02:26 |
| Kamion | nvram VAR=VALUE | 02:26 |
| mjg59 | TMM: hotkey-setup | 02:26 |
| Kamion | mjg59: only problem is that if you get it wrong you probably don't get another shot at it | 02:26 |
| mjg59 | Kamion: Well, there's the PRAM reset thing, but still | 02:26 |
| Kamion | mjg59: that requires a keyboard | 02:27 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 02:27 |
| Kamion | mjg59: now if you were *really* an OF whiz you'd configure it to bring up the OF telnetd thing straight away and operate it that way | 02:28 |
| Kamion | but that's rather riskier than setting boot-device :-) | 02:28 |
| TMM | mjg59, there is currently no poking being done it seems, should I add another .c file to the package? | 02:28 |
| mjg59 | TMM: Hmm. How much poking is needed? | 02:29 |
| mjg59 | There's a perl script that's meant to do it | 02:29 |

| mjg59 | Hurrah, OF | 02:38 |
| Lathiat | ah, so it worked then? | 02:38 |
| Kamion | mjg59: is the USB/PS2 adaptor thing purely "you have to wait some number of seconds" rather than "you have to wait for <software> to appear"? | 02:38 |

| Kamion | CarlK: by way of education, base-installer is not a catch-all for installer bugs. :-) | 03:49 |
| Kamion | you wanted base-config, but I'll assign it elsewhere anyway | 03:49 |
| mantiena | Kamion, hi, I see you are ubuntu-deskop maintainer or at least uploader ;) | 03:50 |
| mantiena | I wanna ask why ubuntu-desktop depends on irssi-text ? | 03:51 |
| CarlK | I was close ;) | 03:51 |
| Kamion | *everyone* assigns stuff to base-installer | 03:51 |
| pitti | does anybody know a GUI way to change the monitor frequency? | 03:52 |
| Kamion | mantiena: ubuntu-desktop is maintained semi-automatically based on the seeds | 03:52 |
| azeem | pitti: gnome-display-properties, perhaps? | 03:52 |
| Kamion | irssi-text has been part of desktop forever | 03:52 |
| pitti | azeem: no, it only changes the resolution, and it does not even have root privs to be able to change freq | 03:52 |
| Kamion | under the general heading of "useful console-based tools that we install as part of the desktop" | 03:52 |
| azeem | pitti: ah, hmm | 03:52 |
| azeem | pitti: well, works here at the Uni (where I'm not root), but this is sarge, not breezy | 03:53 |
| mantiena | Kamion, so, you think, that ubuntu-desktop should depend on irssi-text and I should'nt fill a bugreport about this ? | 03:54 |
| Kamion | mantiena: I think the current dependency is correct, yes | 03:55 |
| infinity | irssi-text could probably move to "ship" without anyone complaining. Somehow I doubt that irssi users are the sorts who mind installing extra packages after an install. | 03:55 |
| Kamion | if you don't like the desktop set, you can remove ubuntu-desktop | 03:55 |
| infinity | But ubuntu-desktop depends on a lot of stuff you don't need, just stuff you "may want"... That's what it's for. | 03:55 |
| mantiena | : ftp://ws314.juntadeandalucia.es/guadalinex2005/archives/peez2/ | 03:56 |
| mantiena | sorry | 03:56 |
| pitti | azeem: I just saw that xorg.conf limited it to 60 Hz. I'll spank daniels when he returns :-) | 03:56 |

| Nafallo | I have 59Hz on my amd64 :-) | 03:57 |
| infinity | Oh. A laptop? | 03:57 |
| mantiena | Kamion, Btw, did you noticed that ubuntu-desktop also depends on *very big* Korean, Japanese and Chinese font packages ? this is also ok ? | 03:57 |

| TMM | mjg59, see malone bugs #3363 and #3362 :) | 03:58 |
| Kamion | mantiena: I'm pretty familiar with the set of packages in desktop, yes. We install those fonts because they make CJK web pages look reasonably decent by default. | 03:59 |
| pitti | infinity: it's not *my* PC :-) I'm just adminstrating a friend's one, who installed Ubuntu the first time and has various hassles | 03:59 |
| pitti | infinity: my shiny TFT doesn't care about the freq :-) | 03:59 |
| infinity | pitti : Yeah, I know. :) | 03:59 |
| infinity | Anyhow, it's odd for it to be limited to 60Hz out of the box. | 04:00 |
| infinity | Unless we really couldn't get any useful info from the monitor at all on install, then it would have been set to a "safe" refresh rate to avoid exploding CRTs. | 04:00 |
| Mithrandir | infinity: CRTs stopped exploding some time ago | 04:01 |
| maswan | I think that it is a safe assumption that any exploding CRTs have exploded or otherwise expired by now. | 04:02 |
| pitti | infinity: I'm afraid that was the reason - there are probably no DPMS information | 04:02 |
| pitti | s/are/is/ | 04:02 |
| infinity | Mithrandir : Yes, around the same time they started providing DPMS. | 04:03 |
| maswan | What is even more annoying is overriding it when DPMS gives lies. | 04:03 |
| TMM | maswan, I still use a crt monitor that might explode :) | 04:03 |
| TMM | maswan, very old very large (Very pretty) 21" sgi monitor :) | 04:03 |
| Mithrandir | infinity: nah, I have a monitor from 1987 which I'm fairly sure doesn't do evms, but it doesn't explode when you throw > 1024x768 at it either. | 04:04 |
| maswan | TMM: I have a few old monitors too. They won't explode, or they would have by now. :) | 04:04 |
| infinity | Mithrandir : I had one from 1989 that, while it didn't EXPLODE, per se, would whine and threaten to do so when you would overdrive it. | 04:04 |
| pef | where are ftbs on wiki ? I can't find them using search function | 04:04 |
| infinity | Mithrandir : The point being that any monitor that doesn't shut off the tube (or otherwise refuse to do what you're asking) when overdriven should never be overdriven. | 04:05 |
| Mithrandir | infinity: yes, I know that. | 04:05 |
| dholbach | pef: i trashed the pages, since i thought it might be more exciting after the sync :) | 04:05 |
| infinity | Mithrandir : And it wasn't until 5 years ago or so that I finally bought a monitor that would do the nice "out of range" blinking thing when tried to overdrive it. | 04:05 |
| infinity | Anyhow, I still say it's a better safe than sorry thing. | 04:06 |
| infinity | And because X just uses the "best refresh rate it can manage" on invocation, you have to artificially limit it, if you want to be safe, which means the RandR applet won't work. | 04:07 |
| pef | dholbach: oh, it's because malone #3360 is fixed (also a FTBS) by using debian's version | 04:07 |
| infinity | Until we fix that (allowing you to have a lower default refresh rate, but later switch to a higher one), the status quo, suck though it is, remains. | 04:07 |
| dholbach | pef: cool | 04:08 |
| pef | dholbach: so I wanted to mention this on ftbs page :) | 04:08 |

| jdub | Keybuk: what do you think about html output for bzrk? :) | 04:31 |
| Keybuk | has already been discussed | 04:31 |
| Keybuk | the tricky bit would be making a table that still kept the graph aligned with the revision data | 04:31 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: Use SVG | 04:37 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: If you output the data as a series of blocks that renders flat, I think you can use SVG for all the lines and then position them. | 04:38 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: I suspect you can make it look elegant in text mode and in a graphical browser. | 04:38 |
| carstenh | ... and make all people use a svg-plugin in their browsers? | 04:39 |
| jbailey | carstenh: IIRC, Firefox supports it natively. | 04:39 |
| Keybuk | but the problem is what if they increase their font size | 04:39 |
| Keybuk | double the font size, and none of the text rows match anymore | 04:39 |
| carstenh | jbailey: that would solve that problem :) | 04:39 |
| Keybuk | it's currently rendered using Cairo, so output formats aren't the problem -- we can output in png, svg, etc. with just one line of code | 04:39 |
| koke | Keybuk: even with font-size: monospace ?? | 04:39 |
| koke | font-family, sorry | 04:40 |
| Keybuk | koke: it's the height that's the issue | 04:40 |
| Keybuk | o | fix some bug Keybuk | 04:40 |
| Keybuk | |\o some other bug Martin | 04:40 |
| Keybuk | type thing | 04:40 |
| Keybuk | if you double the font size, there will be a gap between the two row images | 04:40 |
| koke | hmm, I see | 04:40 |
| Keybuk | or if you just render one big long image, the lines of text won't match the graph | 04:40 |
| Keybuk | (in the GUI it actually gets the font size that's being used, and scales the graph appropriately -- so the larger the font, the thicker the lines and bigger the circles) | 04:41 |
| koke | Keybuk: you can make the lines/dots backgrounds instead of images, and make it some bigger than the cell | 04:41 |
| koke | if the angle is 45 it may work | 04:41 |
| Keybuk | koke: it has diagonal lines :p | 04:41 |
| Keybuk | it tube-maps them all to 45, but they still wouldn't line up, as you have to decrease the angle as you increase the distance | 04:42 |
| koke | if you counld just make the width adjust to height... | 04:44 |
| koke | it must be possible :) | 04:44 |
| Keybuk | you could probably get the font size with javascript | 04:45 |
| Keybuk | and rewrite the urls to get the images to include the height of the font | 04:45 |
| Keybuk | and then have a cgi render them at the right heights | 04:45 |

| infinity | They will be in launchpad, so you're ahead of the curve. :) | 05:39 |
| Kamion | katie's internals call them suites, so I'm in the habit of calling them that; it gets rid of the confusion inherent in talking about "unreleased releases" | 05:39 |
| Diziet | Ah, yes. | 05:39 |
| infinity | But in katie-speak, warty, hoary, breezy, (and the -updates and -security of each) are suites. | 05:39 |
| infinity | In the New World order, we get DistroReleases and (wait for it), Pockets. | 05:40 |
| Diziet | *boggle* | 05:40 |
| ogra | Pockets ? | 05:40 |
| === freeflying [n=rockie@61.190.65.6] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | breezy-updates is a pocket of breezy, iirc | 05:40 |
| infinity | Pockets. The sub-releases of each DistroRelease. So, breezy has two pockets, -updates and -security. | 05:41 |
| ogra | ah | 05:41 |
| infinity | Pockets are, generally speaking, non-self-contained children of a larger release. At least, I think that's how the data model sees them. | 05:41 |
| ogra | do we have a documentation about this public anywhere ? | 05:41 |
| Diziet | The best way I can think of making the magicmirror approach do what debmirror does, is to run magicmirror once with a config file which gets only the metadata, and then have a program which turns the metadata into a pair of index files. | 05:41 |
| infinity | ogra : No, cause from your POV, nothing will have changed. | 05:41 |
| infinity | This is just about how the LP people see it and talk about it. :) | 05:41 |

| ogra | as long as upload.u.c and -changes are there i'm fine :) | 05:42 |

| mdz | Diziet: free now if you want to talk automated testing | 07:01 |
| Diziet | Ah, hello. Right. | 07:02 |
| Diziet | So, basically, I've come to the conclusion that the biggest missing piece is a standard way to find and store the tests, and a standard interface to invoking them. | 07:03 |
| Diziet | The question of how to invoke them without making a mess of a real system is indeed not entirely trivial but it's a SMOP by now I think. | 07:04 |
| Diziet | We want obviously to be able to use upstream's tests and write our own and share them, and the flow of the tests is going to be very similar to that of the source they relate to. | 07:05 |
| mdz | Diziet: we should make a distinction between destructive and non-destructive tests, and plan to only run the destructive tests in a virtual environment | 07:05 |
| Diziet | So it seems to me that they should be attached to (in, even) the package - probably the source package, since testing is a development activity which you have source for. | 07:05 |
| Diziet | mdz: Right, exactly. | 07:05 |
| Diziet | But what we're missing is a standard way to say `these here are the destructive tests and you know how to run them' vs. `these are the destructive tests' vs. `this test needs foobar (>= 3.7) installed'. | 07:06 |
| mdz | you should be able to run, e.g., the upstream test suite non-destructively on a live system, but we also want the capability to test things like purging packages | 07:06 |
| Diziet | Absolutely. So that's a destructive test of dpkg. | 07:06 |
| mdz | also of the package being purged | 07:06 |
| Diziet | Indeed so. | 07:06 |
| mdz | as I said out in that spec document I showed you, we want to do a lot of generic testing at the package level | 07:07 |
| Diziet | Now purging a package is a special case because every package is supposed to have the same interface. | 07:07 |
| mdz | as far as placing the tests, I agree that they make most sense in the source package | 07:07 |
| Diziet | So package purge isn't a test that has a test case file or three in the package itself; it's just a thing it's supposed to do which you can know how to try. | 07:07 |
| Diziet | Most tests need files. Right, in the source. | 07:08 |
| Diziet | The first piece of this then I think is a spec. which describes, given the source package, how to find the tests. | 07:08 |
| mdz | for the interface, if we can get away with a simple exec() interface for tests, that's probably ideal because we have freedom to implement tests in any language | 07:08 |
| Diziet | And which ones have which properties and how to invoke them. | 07:08 |
| Diziet | Indeed. | 07:08 |
| mdz | if we can't, then python modules written to an API published by the testing framework | 07:08 |
| === Loiosh [n=loiosh@c-67-187-98-56.hsd1.tx.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Diziet | It would be good to have a declarative way to (a) distinguish between different tests and (b) tell whether to try a test, rather than running the test and having it decide to give a `noop' pass. | 07:09 |
| Diziet | Then you could be able to say `well, one out of 50 tests failed, and we couldn't run 20 because we're on the wrong arch / don't have foobar / whatever'. | 07:09 |
| Diziet | When there's an interface specification, if it's not insane it'll be easy to glue upstream's test framework into it. | 07:10 |
| Diziet | So I think the first thing is to start a requirements capture for that specification, and then to write it. | 07:11 |
| Diziet | Now last time we talked about this you mentioned launchpad. But I'm not sure how that fits in ? Obviously launchpad will have a set of machinery for _running_ the tests. Was that what you meant ? | 07:12 |
| mdz | I think it would help to dream up some real-world tests for things which are important to us | 07:13 |
| mdz | I'm especially interested in upstream self-tests being run on the live system, though it's not clear how practical that will be | 07:13 |
| ogra | do you guys only plan testing of the underlying architecture or are GUI tests planned too ? | 07:14 |
| Diziet | I don't see why that would be impractical. How deeply you need to wade into upstream's machinery will vary. | 07:14 |
| === tvo [n=tobi@5354EA9B.cable.casema.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Diziet | ogra: I don't see why gui tests wouldn't be feasible. | 07:14 |
| Diziet | Not that they're easy of course. You've got all of the standard problems. But I don't think we'd be ruling it out architecturally. | 07:15 |
| ogra | there is a team rom gnome bangalore that developed a gui testing framework | 07:15 |
| ogra | *from | 07:15 |
| Diziet | Obvious examples are: packages install and remove properly; gs works on oo-generated files; gmp and openssl pass their own selftest suites., | 07:16 |
| ogra | they showed it off at guadec | 07:16 |
| Diziet | I think the first step though is to describe how a source package presents the tests it has available. | 07:16 |
| ogra | this tests were tied to libgnome iirc, it opened a file typed some text where appropriate, saved the file etc... the common actions tied to libgnome... | 07:18 |
| === ozamosi [n=nnnnnnnn@h130n11c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Diziet | Right. | 07:20 |
| Diziet | mdz: So do you agree ? What did you mean about launchpad ? | 07:21 |
| mdz | Diziet: upstream tests often have a lot of assumptions about being run from the source tree | 07:21 |
| Diziet | Right. That would be the bit you'd have to hit over the head. | 07:22 |
| mdz | one trick of the design will be to provide for both self-tests provided by the package, and generic tests which apply to all or most packages | 07:22 |
| Diziet | The source tree would be available, of course. It's just that you'd have to make sure they actually ran the installed programs. | 07:22 |
| mdz | Diziet: well, it won't be practical to maintain significant deltas to upstream test suites, so either we'll find a way to utilize them almost unchanged, or if that isn't practical, we'll lose them | 07:23 |
| Diziet | Right. | 07:23 |
| mdz | Diziet: we need to be able to test the binaries we are actually shipping in the distribution | 07:23 |
| Diziet | But systematic seddery is an option :-). | 07:23 |
| Diziet | Indeed so. | 07:23 |
| mdz | i.e., test using the installed binary package | 07:23 |
| Diziet | Yes, that's what I mean. | 07:23 |
| mdz | so we can't rely on the build tree being available | 07:23 |
| Diziet | Err, we can rely on the _source_ tree being available. That is, an unbuilt source will definitely be available because that's where the tests are. | 07:24 |
| mdz | "a" source tree, sure, but not one where the actual build has taken place. that means that auxiliary programs built for the tests, and that sort of thing, need to be handled specially | 07:24 |
| Diziet | It would make life easier if it were permissible for a test to require a _built_ source tree (eg, the test needs some helper utility which isn't shipped, or some such). | 07:24 |
| ogra | Diziet, mdz, seen that one ? http://people.redhat.com/zcerza/dogtail/index.html | 07:25 |

| === pitti conceives a nice new Mao rule | ||
| sivang | pitti: you also play Mao ? :-) | 09:30 |
| pitti | sure | 09:30 |
| pitti | it's a prerequisite for an Ubuntu developer | 09:30 |
| sivang | yeah, I know :) | 09:30 |
| sivang | Kinnison explained it to me on Mataro | 09:30 |
| pitti | sivang: we'll teach you at UBZ | 09:31 |
| pitti | ah, so much the better | 09:31 |
| sivang | however, my Mao foo has long be forgotten since Mataro | 09:31 |
| sivang | ^^^^^^ | 09:31 |

| sivang | hehe | 09:31 |
| pitti | jbailey: "taught the hard way" | 09:31 |
| Kinnison | jbailey: surely by now you know me well enough to not have actually explained anything | 09:31 |
| sivang | jbailey: have you ever been in a Mao match with Kinnison as the dealer? | 09:32 |
| === blueyed [n=daniel@pdpc/supporter/active/blueyed] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| sivang | jbailey: hilarious | 09:32 |
| === Kinnison smiles sweetly | ||
| jbailey | Kinnison: I figured if it wasn't true, you'd pass the card on to the appropriate destination. =) | 09:32 |
| \sh | whatever mao is | 09:32 |
| pitti | \sh: you'll come to UBZ, right? | 09:32 |
| jbailey | sivang: I think so. I try not to be sober enough to remember. | 09:32 |
| \sh | pitti: yepp.. | 09:32 |
| pitti | \sh: you'll find out, don't worry :-) | 09:33 |
| \sh | pitti: I hope it's not MauMau ;) | 09:33 |
| sivang | muhahhahahah | 09:33 |
| sivang | :) | 09:33 |
| === pitti grins | ||
| jbailey | \sh: Isn't that Chinese for cat? | 09:33 |
| \sh | jbailey: no it's a cardgame in germany :) | 09:33 |
| pitti | jbailey: it's a popular child's game | 09:33 |
| sivang | \sh: what ever happens, it's part of the game. Remember that :) | 09:34 |
| sivang | anyway, I need to get some food, maybe pizza | 09:34 |
| sivang | later mates | 09:34 |
| Kamion | xTina: no (there isn't actually a harddrive-detection udeb, it's provided by disk-detect - but still they're the same) | 09:34 |
| pitti | cu sivang | 09:34 |
| crimsun | jbailey: (but yes, it's Mandarin for cat) | 09:34 |
| Kamion | mdz: yeah, we're going to be rearranging quite a bit of that in dapper, because tzsetup and apt-setup have both been rewritten upstream to avoid that awful base-config passthrough kludge | 09:35 |
| pitti | crimsun: what's that vuln about? it's not yet in the CVE db | 09:35 |
| xTina | Kamion: Weird. I have a server machine that refuses to detect its (cpqarray) raid with a netboot installer and not with the regular install CD | 09:35 |
| Kamion | mdz: it may even be possible to run apt-setup before base-installer, though I'm not sure about that yet | 09:35 |
| \sh | crimsun: really? wow...I didn't even know, that I can pronounce cat in mandarin | 09:35 |
| Kamion | xTina: disk-detect itself is the same, but the order of module loading may very well be different | 09:35 |
| crimsun | pitti: snort 2.4.x backorifice preprocessor buffer overflow, http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/175500 | 09:35 |
| Kamion | I view this mostly as a kernel/hotplug/udev/whatever problem | 09:36 |
| xTina | Kamion: The modules are fine, it's loaded and the device files are there, I can even mount them on the builtin shell. | 09:36 |
| === chris38-home2 [n=Christia@LSt-Amand-152-31-21-96.w82-127.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | xTina: yeah, but load ordering sometimes matters | 09:36 |
| sivang | pitti: when I come back, I'd like to discuss some of my sepcs if you will, specifically how to move further with CupsDbusIntegration, or should we just wait to see which BOFs get priority? (Is it worth to have some sort of proof conpect program ready / whatever) | 09:36 |
| Kamion | it's all really nasty | 09:36 |
| crimsun | pitti: we could ask for http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/MIMG-6HAL5M to be modified, since we only ship 2.3.2 in universe | 09:36 |
| Kamion | at least, that's my first guess as to your problem - but I don't have the detailed knowledge to go much further | 09:36 |
| pitti | crimsun: 2.3.2 of what? | 09:37 |
| crimsun | pitti: snort-2.3.3 | 09:37 |
| crimsun | err 2.3.2 | 09:37 |
| pitti | crimsun: ah, I see | 09:37 |
| pitti | crimsun: CERT contacted me about this today | 09:37 |
| crimsun | ok | 09:37 |

| \sh | jbailey: bzr repos can I pulish on a plain normal webserver? and pulling other branches for merging is working via http? | 09:49 |

| pitti | mvo, jbailey: btw, does anybody already have a commit hook that sends out notification emails? | 09:52 |
| pitti | I have a nice and generic thing for baz, but not yet for bzr | 09:52 |
| jbailey | pitti: I don't think the concept makes sense. | 09:52 |
| jbailey | pitti: You're working on a local branch. Who would it notify? | 09:52 |
| pitti | jbailey: I'm still used to pushing my changes to arch.debian.org/arch/pkg-postgresql | 09:53 |
| jbailey | I think it makes more sense to have a bzr watch command of some sort which a user can run. | 09:53 |
| jbailey | That way you can cron a set of repos to watch, and if the revno changes, notify. | 09:53 |
| pitti | jbailey: so that other psql devs see what I do, and I see what they do | 09:53 |
| Nafallo | \sh: I dunno. that's what launchpad uses for pulling in patches or something. jbailey probably knows more than me :-). | 09:53 |
| jbailey | pqm is a bot that makes baz/bzr behave more like a centralised system. I don't really know more than that. | 09:54 |
| jbailey | All I know is that it can handle merges to a central repo./ | 09:54 |
| Nafallo | hmm, I _thought_ you knew more than me :-) | 09:55 |
| Nafallo | It has reviewers :-) | 09:55 |
| siretart | has anyone spotted/worked on a bzr-buildpackage yet? | 09:58 |
