| crimsun | huh? | 02:52 |
| bob2 | why do you want to hide your ssh version? | 02:52 |
| bob2 | also, that has no patch | 02:52 |
| crimsun | not only that, but the bug report is useless - just use the Banner directive in /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 02:52 |
| jabra | crimsun: banner directive? | 02:53 |
| crimsun | Banner /path/to/banner/file | 02:53 |
| crimsun | keep in mind that changing your banner is largely futile; a determined person will simply use scanssh | 02:55 |
| jabra | true but shouldn't give out which linux distro your using for anyone who telnet's to 22 | 02:55 |
| crimsun | security through obscurity? not quite. | 02:55 |
| tseng | why not | 02:55 |
| jabra | because not much information given out | 02:56 |
| daniels | apache also gives out the same information, and I don't think anyone's ever really cared | 02:56 |

| daniels | jbailey: PING | 03:52 |
| jbailey | daniels: yoyosup? | 03:55 |
| daniels | jbailey: can you please explain to me in words of two syllables or less why glibc is explicitly preventing me from including linux/types.h? | 03:56 |
| daniels | jbailey: a few headers define _LINUX_TYPES_H, so anything including <linux/agpgart.h> tanks because it includes <linux/types.h>, and naively expects that the types that defines will actually be there | 03:57 |
| daniels | navely, even | 03:57 |
| jbailey | daniels: No good response beyond that userspace applications should generally not include anything in linux/* or asm/* anyway (per kernel maintainers) | 03:57 |
| jbailey | I've done a bit of hacking to make many of the headers usable. What do you need, and I'll help you figure out the best solution. | 03:58 |
| daniels | jbailey: *shrug*, idealism is nice, but I kind of like it when the X server actually has agpgart support, y'know ;) | 03:58 |
| daniels | jbailey: i think it's just sys/kd.h that's the main culprit; if it could either a) not define _LINUX_TYPES_H, b) undef it when it's done a la sysctl.h, or c) define __u16 and __u32 when it defines _LINUX_TYPES_H, that'd be great | 03:59 |
| daniels | jbailey: my short-term hack was to change linux/types.h's test to _LINUX_TYPES_H_FUCK_YOU_GLIBC, but I don't think that'd fly for uploading to the archive | 03:59 |
| === ikuyaLoqu [n=ikuya@gnulinux.good-day.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| jbailey | *lol* | 03:59 |
| jbailey | Do you basically need linux/agpgart.h ? | 04:00 |
| jbailey | I can tweak that to have usable user-space types. | 04:00 |
| daniels | jbailey: yeah, the end goal is a usable linux/agpgart.h | 04:01 |
| daniels | jbailey: but tweaking sys/kd.h to have the same __undef_LINUX_TYPES_H hack as sysctl worked too, and it would seem to be correct in any case (even if agpgart should have usable userspace types, which I assume it should) | 04:02 |
| daniels | oh, and while I'm at it | 04:02 |

| bddebian | Doesn't glibc provide a stddef.h now? | 04:14 |
| daniels | cheers :) | 04:14 |
| jbailey | bddebian: stddef.h comes from gcc. | 04:15 |
| bddebian | Ahh.. But what if an app is looking in /usr/include or /usr/X11R6/include? | 04:15 |
| jbailey | If an app explicitely is looking in /usr/include and isn't trusting compiler search paths, it's broken beyond repair. | 04:16 |
| jbailey | gcc and glibc play games with the search paths that mere mortals cannot predict. | 04:16 |
| bddebian | Hmm | 04:16 |
| jbailey | And -I/usr/include is known to break things all *over* the place. | 04:16 |
| ajmitch | that's comforting | 04:17 |
| daniels | also, /usr/X11R6/include doesn't exist anymore | 04:17 |
| bddebian | Why is everything a PITA? :-) | 04:17 |
| bddebian | daniels: I know, that's what started this all. | 04:17 |

| zyga | that reminds me | 09:59 |
| zyga | I've found a strange bug in debian-installer | 09:59 |
| zyga | after partitioning phase where I've selected to format one partition on an ATA disk and leave everything else as is | 09:59 |
| zyga | the installer borked with something about 'unusual ext2 partition' and 'unable to resize' | 10:00 |
| zyga | I don't remember the exact string but I'm sure I could look it up | 10:00 |
| jdub | jsgotangco: Treenaks, Seveas and i did the badger dance last night ;) | 10:00 |
| Keybuk | jdub: dude, it's so about the drake dance now | 10:00 |
| zyga | the setup was as follows: 1 ATA disk, 40GB via /dev/hda and two SATA disks via pci controller, 37 and 200GB | 10:01 |
| Keybuk | that's the one where we all stand around in a room twiddling our thumbs and waiting | 10:01 |
| zyga | after disconnecting sata disks the installer didn't crash | 10:01 |
| zyga | note that I didn't ask it to mount any other partition apart from the formatted / partition | 10:01 |
| jsgotangco | lol | 10:01 |

| sivang | fabbione: always | 10:05 |
| jsgotangco | yes theres also christmas badgers | 10:05 |
| fabbione | sivang: you have been working on LP to register specs, right? | 10:05 |
| jsgotangco | the footbal badgers say "england england" | 10:05 |
| infinity | mdz : Right, context gathered, I'll have to play with as many tetex bugs as I can get my hands on, and monitor the BTS for a while, but I'm still fairly certain that's the route we want to go. Most of the bugs look trivial, and easier to fix for us than Debian (just due to the fact that I can fix 'em all in a day, rather than waiting on maintainers) | 10:05 |

| sivang | fabbione: 1) Draft your spec on the wiki , add it to UBZ/BOFs page over wiki | 10:06 |
| dholbach | good morning | 10:06 |
| sivang | fabbione: 2) go to launchapd.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs | 10:06 |

| sivang | fabbione: 3) add an entry there, fill required info in requested fields | 10:07 |
| fabbione | sivang: ok.. thanks | 10:07 |
| sivang | fabbione: 4) "Add to meeting" on the right menu, and you're done :) | 10:07 |
| Keybuk | infinity: it's when you arrive on Canada on Wednesday, when it's Sunday for everyone else, you have to worry | 10:07 |
| sivang | fabbione: (4) is rather imporant, since if you leave it it doesn't show on the general agenda. | 10:08 |
| fabbione | sivang: ok.. thanks | 10:08 |

| sivang | Keybuk: how can that happne? lingoliris :-) ? | 10:10 |
| infinity | Keybuk : It's a shame that moving to Australia didn't allow me to win Canadian lotteries, but I suspect this just means I misunderstood how timezones work. | 10:10 |
| fabbione | sivang: well i did propose one, but it has hell of a lot of implications :) | 10:10 |
| sivang | fabbione: then you should break it to small, "manageable" chunks ;-) | 10:10 |
| sivang | fabbione: so we can spec each one of them seperately | 10:10 |
| fabbione | sivang: it's not really possible, because it's one block that touches several subsystems | 10:11 |
| sivang | fabbione: :) | 10:11 |
| fabbione | sivang: url to the RawSpecDraft? | 10:12 |
| fabbione | the one to copy and use to write a new one? | 10:12 |
| sivang | fabbione: eh, that is now SpecTemplate | 10:14 |
| fabbione | ok thanks | 10:14 |
| sivang | fabbione: and SpecSpec has some guidelines | 10:14 |
| infinity | fabbione : If you go to wiki.ubuntu.com/MyNewSpec, it will offer "SpecTemplate" as a list of templates on the left, so you don't have to copy and paste. | 10:15 |
| infinity | Clock on it, and you end up editing "MyNewSpec" with template=SpecTemplate | 10:15 |
| fabbione | infinity: i prefer to edit locally in text mode and upload after | 10:15 |
| sivang | infinity: ooh, that's cool. This should be linked from launchapd | 10:15 |
| sivang | fabbione: that's actually more comfortable :-) | 10:16 |
| sivang | editing against web is a pain | 10:16 |
| infinity | fabbione : I like to create the initial page to stake my claim on namespace, copy into a text editor, work locally, then paste when done. :) | 10:16 |
| Mithrandir | I should hack up my wiki file access handler for emacs. | 10:16 |
| infinity | This also prevents firefox segfaulting for NO APPARENT REASON AND LOSING ALL MY EDITS on long wiki pages. | 10:17 |
| fabbione | infinity: ehehhe | 10:17 |

| jsgotangco | coastGNU, do you work for an OEM? | 10:31 |
| coastGNU | jsgotangco: No, I don't. But Ive been asked by an OEM, only a small one (turnover 200M EUR/Y). But I'm not allowed to work for him on an voluntqary base... | 10:33 |
| Kamion | coastGNU: not at present; yes, I know I should pull my finger out and write some ... | 10:34 |
| coastGNU | jsgotangco: s/voluntqary/voluntary/ | 10:34 |
| Kamion | at the moment it's basically just various bits of documentation on the wiki | 10:34 |
| Kamion | you're right that much better documentation is needed | 10:34 |
| Kamion | the installation manual covers some of the things you're asking for (preseed files) | 10:34 |
| jsgotangco | Kamion, it'd be nice to have docs about branding, changing wallpapers, stuff | 10:35 |
| Kamion | that I don't know much about myself | 10:35 |
| coastGNU | Kamion: I would like to do that. But as I've just told to jsgotangco I'm not alowed to do this on an voluntary base anymore. So may be there might be a way to let it be interesting enough for this OEM to pay for the job. | 10:35 |
| Kamion | well, I wouldn't object :) | 10:38 |
| coastGNU | Kamion: I've been working for them some years ago, aside the university (precission engeneering). | 10:38 |

| coastGNU | Kamion: As I see you are in the UK, right? | 10:39 |
| coastGNU | Kamion: May I ring you up by phone? | 10:40 |

| pitti | seb128: mkdosfs -n | 12:27 |
| pitti | seb128: unfortunately there is no tool to *change* a vfat label | 12:27 |

| dholbach | who can i add in bugzilla to propose a *-backports upload? | 01:14 |
| Kamion | I believe elmo prefers you to contact him directly, not via bugzilla | 01:14 |
| Kamion | use e-mail, he's not around today | 01:15 |
| dholbach | oh, ok, i thought the backports crew did that | 01:15 |
| dholbach | thank you | 01:15 |
| Kamion | oh, yeah, if you're not in the backports team, talk to Mez or somebody? | 01:15 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: can you get yaboot-installer to install to an external FW drive? | 01:16 |
| dholbach | Kamion: yeah, wanted to CC him in bugzilla/malone | 01:16 |
| Kamion | Mithrandir: not unless ofpath can deal with it | 01:16 |
| Kamion | Mithrandir: in general failures there are down to ofpath not knowing how to figure out the openfirmware path to the drive | 01:16 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: ok, and OF doesn't support booting off external stuff? | 01:17 |
| ogra | dholbach, thats usually done via the backports ML, not bugzilla | 01:17 |
| dholbach | i see | 01:17 |
| dholbach | then I'd CC the list :-p | 01:17 |
| Kamion | Mithrandir: it does, although you often have to feed it the path manually at boot time. the problem is not generally OF, it's that the ofpath utility (part of yaboot) isn't complete. | 01:18 |
| ogra | dholbach, jdon will do a backport and put it up for testing somewhere... if the tests are positive he normally triggers Mez/elmo to build it | 01:18 |

| infinity | sabdfl : I might tone down the "matter of great pride" bit in reference to core developers. We have enough people clamoring for debian.org email addresses purely for prestige reasons, I don't think we need to make ubuntu.com end up the same way. | 02:05 |
| pitti | sabdfl: so a developer does not need to be a member? that's surprising | 02:05 |

| mpt | or a ... post-requisite? | 02:06 |

| infinity | mpt : I thin kthe point of that sentence is to discourage people from applying to be developers when they don't need to for their level of participation. | 02:08 |

| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: I care very much about emacs, yes. | 02:40 |

| Mithrandir | $ pgrep emacs | wc -l | 02:40 |
| Mithrandir | 8 | 02:40 |
| marcin_ant | ogra: currenlty packages for emacs are pretty much outdated (emacs22 not released yet but pretty much stable and with a lot of new and nice stuff) | 02:40 |
| marcin_ant | ogra: ok :) | 02:40 |
| ogra | marcin_ant, they'll surely be in dpper if they release in time | 02:40 |

| === Hirion [n=Hirion@p5487FBEC.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||

| infinity | marcin_ant : Bug filed with patches are welcome. | 02:49 |
| infinity | s/Bug/Bugs/ | 02:49 |
| infinity | Complaining that "stuff sucks" doesn't help much. | 02:49 |
| marcin_ant | infinity: well the problem is that these bugs need to repackage emacs | 02:50 |
| marcin_ant | infinity: and rethink policy for emacs | 02:50 |
| azeem | marcin_ant: is emacs-snapshot(-gtk) not what you want? | 02:50 |
| seb128 | marcin_ant: http://lists.debian.org/debian-emacsen/ to discuss changes maybe? | 02:51 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: yes - I got it already and heavy modified by myself | 02:51 |
| azeem | what do you mean with "these bugs need to repackage emacs"? | 02:52 |
| marcin_ant | seb128: well it's pretty hard to talk with these people since they think that they current packages and debian policy for emacs is brilliant | 02:52 |
| Kamion | Kinnison: the raw-installer code? | 02:52 |
| infinity | Kinnison : \o/ | 02:52 |
| Kamion | Kinnison: rah, thanks | 02:52 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: the thing is that emacs is 'emacs' binary and a bunch of *.el files in common package | 02:53 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: and there are dependencies set in debian/control in emacs21|emacs-snapshot and so on | 02:53 |
| Kamion | marcin_ant: welcome to the need for compromise ;-) they in turn probably think you don't understand any of the benefits of the current system and just want to change things for the sake of it ... | 02:53 |
| Kamion | I'm sure there's a middle ground if you come to it with an open mind | 02:54 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: but the problem is that these dependencies are in fact related with emacs binary | 02:54 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: while there is a really long list of dependencies required for some emacs modules | 02:54 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: short example - flyspell.el requires ispell | 02:55 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: while ispell is not on dependencies list | 02:55 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: the same for tramp, ange-ftp and so on so on | 02:55 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: so we have two options - add _all_ these dependencies to emacs debian/control | 02:56 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: or split emacs package to small packages with small list of dependencies in each 'subpackage' | 02:57 |
| Kamion | people should be allowed to use Recommends for that kind of thing | 02:58 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: and yet another thing is that we have a lot of doubled software - for example speedbar is in emacs21 while there is speedbar as separate package - the same with gnus and many more | 02:58 |
| marcin_ant | Kamion: sure but it's not so easy | 02:59 |
| Diziet | This kind of thing is one thing that Recommends is for. | 02:59 |
| marcin_ant | Kamion: yet another thing is that it depends if some emacs packages load when emacs starts or not | 03:00 |
| Diziet | ?? | 03:00 |
| marcin_ant | Kamion: if you got something in your load-path for emacs then it _should_ work - just work | 03:01 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: for example - flyspell.el is in emacs load-path | 03:01 |
| Diziet | If you have the right autoloads. | 03:01 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: it means that you can use this at any time you want | 03:01 |
| Diziet | Yes, but I don't see your point. | 03:01 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: but if you don't have ispell - you will get error message | 03:01 |
| Diziet | So install ispell then. | 03:02 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: my point is - things should _just work_ - but they don't | 03:02 |
| Diziet | http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2002/07/msg00017.html seems tangentially relevant. | 03:02 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: it's not ubuntu philosophy right? - and this is why you got dependencies for | 03:02 |
| Diziet | You think it should automatically install ispell for you ? | 03:03 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: ispell should be installed before | 03:03 |

| Aegir | Heheh. Tinkering with the 'Browser Appliance' VMWare made for the VMWare player. Infact, doing an upgrade to Breezy from hoary... Lets see how this works | 03:04 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: Recommends are for things that are optional/additional right? | 03:04 |
| Diziet | marcin_ant: If I don't have flyspell.el, then when I say M-x flyspell it gives me an error message. | 03:04 |
| Diziet | Is that somehow unacceptable ? | 03:04 |
| marcin_ant | azeem: but not for things really required to run something | 03:04 |
| azeem | marcin_ant: I think it also applies to this case, i.e. a dependency for an optional part of the package | 03:05 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: no it will say [No match] | 03:05 |
| Diziet | That's an error message. | 03:05 |
| azeem | not a very good one, though | 03:05 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: in the case of gnus, what would you do? Just not have the gnus released with emacs, or not the newer upstream version? | 03:05 |

| marcin_ant | Diziet: well you will get the same error if you will try to execute 'blablbalba' on gnome-terminal | 03:06 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: error and 'no match' are not the same things | 03:06 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: no match means that there is no software you want to use | 03:07 |

| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: and another thing is that as Diziet said - why double packages on something like 24mb 486/33? | 03:09 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: why increase the size of the Packages file for _everybody_? | 03:10 |
| Mithrandir | 22M /var/lib/apt/lists | 03:10 |
| Mithrandir | which means running apt-get update takes more time, it means running apt-get install takes more time, and so on. | 03:11 |

| paulproteus | Do you guys want a non-broken us.archive.ubuntu.com? I can offer my computing club at JHU if you all want another host to put in a pool. | 03:26 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: speedbar bundled with emacs and speedbar standalone are different versions (releases) of the same application | 03:26 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: yes, but iirc emacs gives you the newest one, doesn't it? | 03:27 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: and that's the point - maintainers should decide - to have software bundled with emacs | 03:28 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: or as separate micropackages | 03:28 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: so if they got speedbar in emacs then remove speedbar standalone | 03:28 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: or if you got speedbar standalone then remove this one from emacs | 03:29 |
| carstenh | or just build calc and emacs31 from the same source-package? | 03:29 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: the emacs21-speedbar won't necessarily work with xemacs21 and vice versa. | 03:29 |
| marcin_ant | carstenh: and that's another thing.... | 03:29 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: standalone speedbar won't necessarily work with emacs22 too | 03:30 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: correct, so how would you solve that? | 03:31 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: no idea :D | 03:31 |
| Diziet | I don't see what's wrong with bundling some foobar package with emacs46 and then having a separate foobar package which overrides the autoloads. | 03:31 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: this is why I'm here :) | 03:31 |
| Diziet | overrides> Only in the cases where it works and is better, of course. | 03:31 |
| Mithrandir | Diziet: for some definition of "works" and "better". | 03:32 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: carstenh idea is also pretty nice - to split emacs21 to emacs21 common and build emacs21-speedbar (only for emacs21 in dependencies and emacsen-install scripts!) | 03:32 |
| Diziet | Mithrandir: Yes, of course. That's why we're not robots. | 03:32 |
| Diziet | marcin_ant: Nightmarish. Zillions of pointless packages. | 03:32 |
| Mithrandir | Diziet: we might want to give our users the option to go with what's shipped upstream as well as jump forward when there's a newer release there. | 03:33 |
| Diziet | All of which will have an insane cross-dependency/conflict nightmare with half of the ohters. | 03:33 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: but the problem is that it is pretty hard to define versioning/naming convention | 03:33 |
| Diziet | mithrandir: Well, if you do it sanely, there'll be a way to set locally what it does. Or isn't that what you meant ? | 03:33 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: so... following your idea - we should just remove gnus/speedbar/calc as standalone packages | 03:34 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: if we take a step back and look at this whole thing, you think that making a zillion split packages is better than having emacs21, speedbar, gnus and some more as separate packages? | 03:34 |
| Diziet | marcin_ant: They should be standalone packages iff they are shipped and maintained separately upstream. | 03:34 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: and bundle everything in emacs-common | 03:34 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: no, the gnus package for instance is very useful in some circumstances, since it has fixes I need. | 03:34 |
| Mithrandir | for a long time, gnus in emacs didn't do MIME, while the gnus package did have that support | 03:35 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: right - but then if you want to use gnus - from standalone package | 03:35 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: then you don't need this one from emacs21-common - right? | 03:35 |
| carstenh | marcin_ant: i did not suggest what you said, just put all that packages in one source package, i.e. (Source-)Package: emacs21, Binary: calc. this would avoid having the same source twice in the archive which is always suboptimal | 03:35 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: I might not, but the other user on the same system as me might not agree. and it doesn't hurt to have it there. | 03:36 |
| marcin_ant | carstenh: you are right - but you should read debian policy for emacs | 03:36 |
| Mithrandir | carstenh: no, people might want the older version because they're more conservative, for instance. Forcing them to run CVS snapshots of gnus would be wrong. | 03:36 |
| marcin_ant | carstenh: their idea is that you should have an ability to install more than one instance of emacs - called 'flavor' | 03:36 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: which I think makes a lot of sense, at least for multiuser systems. | 03:37 |
| marcin_ant | carstenh: and then you could have for example emacs20 emacs21 emacs22 and xemacs on single machine | 03:37 |
| carstenh | hmm, ok. the conservative argument is good :) | 03:37 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: it makes a lot less sense for single-user systems, I agree | 03:37 |
| Diziet | marcin_ant: The multiple versions thing is very sensible. | 03:38 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: if you compare how well the emacs packaging and policy works, compared with, say, the python one, I think I know which I prefer. :-) | 03:39 |
| marcin_ant | carstenh: and if you got some external package - say 'speedbar' then you get source .el files in your deb package | 03:39 |
| marcin_ant | carstenh: and then specialized install script from package called emacsen-common byte-compiles this speedbar sources | 03:39 |

| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: sooo we have an ability to install more than one emacs at the time | 03:41 |
| Diziet | I'm not hugely convinced by the whole byte-compiling thing but it's probably better than most of the other options. | 03:41 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: ok - we got 'flavours' | 03:41 |
| Diziet | marcin_ant: The multiple versions thing is very sensible. | 03:42 |

| Diziet | What do you mean ? You're saying you don't want both Emacs's (whichever Emacs) and separate gnus ? | 03:42 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: but not for external packages | 03:42 |
| Mithrandir | Diziet: the alternative would be to ship pre-compiled .el files, which would be insane when we have multiple emacs versions in the archive. | 03:42 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: no - I want to have emacs20, emacs21 and so on | 03:43 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: we don't have flavours for gnus and other external packages. We have the ability to install a newer version which overrides the built-in one. | 03:43 |
| Diziet | mithrandir: Quite so. It would mean that an Emacs addon source package would Build-Depends on lots of Emacs binaries. Or that the .deb it produced would depend on which you had installed. | 03:43 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: but then I want single version of gnus, speedbar etc. | 03:43 |
| Mithrandir | Diziet: my point exactly. :-) | 03:43 |
| Diziet | marcin_ant: Well, sorry, but people seem to like having a choice. | 03:43 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: and this never one overrides it in /etc/emacs/site-start.d ? | 03:44 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: and is... system wide? | 03:44 |
| marcin_ant | anyway we have three options | 03:44 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: seriously, I don't see it as a problem. | 03:45 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: ok then example | 03:45 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: you got 'Joe users' that runs apt-get install emacs21 | 03:46 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: then he gets emacs21 with calc bundled with this package | 03:46 |
| Mithrandir | s/apt-get install/installs through synaptic/, but yes. | 03:46 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: but he has no idea that he already has 'calc' | 03:46 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: and then he runs 'ctrl+f' to get list of all packages for emacs | 03:47 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: and then he runs apt-get install calc - and gets older version of calc that he already has | 03:47 |
| azeem | would a Provides: help here? | 03:48 |
| Diziet | Well, it's probably wrong when that happens. Some bit of startup stuff in site-start.d should choose the `best' one by default. | 03:48 |
| Diziet | azeem: No. | 03:48 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: I know that emacs users are usually 'power users' but don't you see that current policy is pretty confusing? | 03:49 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: how do I find out what version "calc" bundled with Emacs is? :-P | 03:50 |

| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: an average user won't take a lok at source code to get which version of software he has | 03:54 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: I just noted that there's no way to get the version of the "calc" shipped with emacs21, so I wondered how you knew it's older | 03:55 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: the version info is in calc.el | 03:55 |
| Mithrandir | $ dpkg -L emacs21 | grep calc. | 03:56 |

| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: in comment on top - I got emacs-cvs so my calc is 2.1 | 03:56 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: maybe try dpkg -L emacs21-el | grep calc | 03:57 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: or emacs21-common | 03:57 |
| Mithrandir | marcin_ant: $ grep version /usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/calculator.el doesn't give me anything resembling relevant (except :version "21.1", which is the emacs version | 03:58 |

| marcin_ant | xyz: try to take a look at | 04:09 |

| Diziet | In the days before the magic wm automagic menu systems, we didn't have wms Suggest every program you might invoke from a menu. | 04:13 |
| xyz | I'm on #ubuntu and there's no one, who can answer me that | 04:13 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: but mldonkey-gui suggests mldonkey-server - right? | 04:13 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: if flyspell.el is frontend to ispell it should suggest it | 04:14 |
| Mithrandir | Diziet: if the list gets too big, it should be trimmed, but I don't see it as a problem if we have a bunch of suggests in there. | 04:14 |
| === ivoks [n=ivoks@194.152.245.62] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| marcin_ant | Diziet: the only problem is that emacs could be in fact standalone desktop environment | 04:14 |
| Diziet | marcin_ant: flyspell.el isn't a package. | 04:14 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: and the list of recommended/suggested packages can be huge | 04:15 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: it's part of emacs | 04:15 |
| Diziet | mithrandir: I think the situation is exactly analogous to a wm menu. | 04:15 |
| Diziet | marcin_ant: Yes, but your statement doesn't hold true any more if we s/flyspell/emacs/ because `emacs is a frontend to ispell' isn't correct. | 04:15 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: so if emacs with flyspell is frontend to ispell then there should be some kind of dependency between emacs and ispell | 04:15 |
| Diziet | can be huge> Um, there are costs to big suggests/recommends lists. They should be avoided. | 04:16 |
| Diziet | `emacs with flyspell is frontend to ispell' is not a correct statement. | 04:16 |
| Diziet | Because it's lots of other things too. | 04:16 |
| Diziet | I agree that a package whose primary function was to be a frontend to ispell should Depend on ispell. | 04:16 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: following your way - xmms is not frontend to mp3 | 04:17 |
| Mithrandir | Diziet: it's much easier to sanely debate that once we actually have a list of suggested changes rather than "the list is going to be too big", "no, it won't", "yes, it will", "no, it won't". | 04:17 |
| Diziet | A package which has being a frontend to ispell as an important but not wholly critical part of its function should Recommend. | 04:17 |
| Mithrandir | once we have a list, it can be debated sanely, adjusted, trimmed and so on. | 04:18 |
| Diziet | A package which has being a frontend to ispell as a significant feature, compared to its other functions, should Suggest. | 04:18 |
| marcin_ant | Mithrandir: good point | 04:18 |
| Diziet | But being a frontend to ispell is not, given all of the other things that Emacs does, significant. | 04:18 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: ispell is just first example 'from the hat' | 04:18 |
| Diziet | mithrandir: I'm not saying the list will be too long. My arguments work even if the list of spurious dependencies is fairly short. But someone said that length didn't matter, which isn't true. | 04:19 |
| Diziet | marciln_ant: Indeed. | 04:19 |
| Mithrandir | Diziet: you appear to be arguing that any extra Recommends/Suggests added to emacs21 based on a review will be spurious and you appear to be really busy digging yourself a nice trench. Mind coming out of it and be a bit constructive? | 04:20 |

| Mithrandir | (I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm saying the direction the discussion is moving is silly, pointless and unproductive) | 04:21 |
| marcin_ant | Diziet: is ange-ftp and ftp dependency something better than ispell? | 04:21 |
| Diziet | mithrandir: I'm just talking about ispell, because that was our example. | 04:22 |
| marcin_ant | or tramp which is standalone package for emacs21 (bundled in emacs-snapshot) | 04:22 |
| Diziet | And how is saying I don't think dependencies should be added unconstructive ? It's not unconstructive to say that the current situation is correct, any more than it's unconstructive to argue in favour of changing it. | 04:22 |
| xyz | so gys | 04:22 |
| marcin_ant | and in tramp package (standalone) you got suggestions for ssh|telnet|etc | 04:22 |
| xyz | *guys | 04:22 |
| xyz | I still don't get an answer on #ubuntu | 04:23 |
| Mithrandir | Diziet: you're whacking away at the example rather than what it examplifies. | 04:23 |
| xyz | would be really nice to hear from you developers | 04:23 |
| Mithrandir | xyz: this still isn't a support channel. | 04:23 |
| xyz | how to fix it | 04:23 |
| marcin_ant | while if tramp gets bundled with emacs22 there is no word about these dependencies | 04:23 |
| Diziet | marcin_ant: ange-ftp (bundled) should not cause a mention of ftp in the emacs control file. | 04:23 |
| xyz | well | 04:23 |
| xyz | apt-get dist-upgrade should work | 04:23 |
| Diziet | tramp (standalone) should probably Recommend ssh or whatever the preferred transport is. | 04:23 |
| xyz | so, you're responsible that it works | 04:23 |
| xyz | and it messed everything up | 04:23 |
| Keybuk | xyz: this is not a support channel, please take it to #ubuntu | 04:23 |

| zakame | why isn't emacs in the cd by default? :( | 04:30 |

| ogra | Keybuk, i'm always going mad if i have to use emacs without the keyboard shortcut poster handy :) | 04:33 |

| Kamion | ogra: if the package isn't purged or if the upgraded version doesn't db_unregister the old templates, yes | 06:58 |
| Kamion | (or if it fails to call db_purge on purge, I suppose) | 06:59 |
| ogra | ah, nice... we should make db_purge policy for -dbg packages then i think... | 07:00 |
| Kamion | er, dh_installdebconf already does it; practically everything that ships debconf templates uses dh_installdebconf | 07:00 |
| infinity | debconf-show is in the base system, but eww. | 07:00 |
| Kamion | I bet you just haven't purged the old packages | 07:00 |
| infinity | (debconf-show xserver-xorg | grep whatever | sed 'munge') | 07:01 |
| Kamion | should depend on debconf for that all the same | 07:01 |
| infinity | ltsp surely already depends on debconf for something.. | 07:02 |
| Kamion | ogra: calling PURGE when your package is purged is already in the debconf specification (referenced from policy) btw | 07:02 |
| infinity | Or not. | 07:02 |
| ogra | infinity, cool, works and looks much cleaner | 07:03 |
| infinity | debconf-couumicate is cleaner still, though. | 07:04 |
| infinity | communicate, too. | 07:04 |
| Kamion | better to just source the debconf confmodule and use that | 07:04 |
| Kamion | debconf-communicate is for fairly special cases - manual use and some really weird stuff | 07:04 |
| ogra | Kamion, but i normally dont think about purge if i remove -dbg packages ... and they are seldom permanent on the system, so they should clean up afterwards by default | 07:04 |
| infinity | Assuming the postinst is otherwise debconf-clean (ie: no stdout or stderr output) | 07:04 |
| Kamion | (when sourcing the debconf confmodule is harmful, basically) | 07:04 |
| Kamion | ogra: no, debconf templates shouldn't be purged unless you're purging the package, sorry | 07:05 |
| Kamion | if you're messing about with other package's templates then you have to take account of this | 07:05 |
| ogra | so db_unregister ? | 07:05 |
| Kamion | no | 07:05 |
| Kamion | leave it alone :P | 07:05 |
| ogra | heh, k | 07:05 |
| Kamion | it would be really annoying if debconf templates were unregistered when you just removed a package | 07:05 |
| Kamion | because all the questions would be re-asked when you reinstalled | 07:06 |
| ogra | i talk about -dbg packages that are only used temporary | 07:06 |
| infinity | Same thing. | 07:06 |
| infinity | A package is a package, -dbg isn't a special case here. | 07:06 |
| infinity | If you don't want it hanging around, purge it. | 07:06 |
| ogra | but it leaves unneeded stuff behind | 07:07 |
| infinity | Kamion : Erm, debconf-communicate is in debconf now, not debconf-utils | 07:07 |
| Kamion | *only if you don't purge it* | 07:07 |
| Kamion | infinity: right, but debconf-get-selections isn't | 07:07 |
| ogra | yes | 07:07 |
| infinity | Oh, right. I was getting confused about which was being discussed where. :) | 07:07 |
| infinity | debconf-get-selections is vile for this sort of use anyway. | 07:07 |
| Kamion | by *definition*, packages leave bits of configuration behind when you remove them but don't purge them | 07:08 |
| infinity | No one wants the WHOLE db very often. | 07:08 |
| ogra | Kamion, the original patch is from pere, i thought i could trust his debconf skills ... | 07:08 |
| infinity | ogra : That's what "remove" and "purge" in dpkg mean. "remove" is "remove everything but the configuration", "purge" is "remove + take out the configs" | 07:08 |
| Kamion | ogra: perhaps he didn't try it with lots of xserver-* installed; I strongly suspect he didn't in fact | 07:09 |
| ogra | infinity, imho -dbg packages are a special case because i only use them for debugging | 07:09 |
| === SloMoSnail is now known as slomo | ||
| ogra | Kamion, yes, i think he only has one :) | 07:09 |
| Kamion | anyway, the ltsp code should be fixed | 07:09 |
| infinity | ogra : I install a lot of stuff only for debugging (or package build-deps), and then remove them later. But I always purge. :) | 07:09 |
| Kamion | or the patch, whatever | 07:09 |
| ogra | yes, the patch | 07:10 |
| infinity | ogra : Just learn to love the purge, and you'll be fine. | 07:10 |
| ogra | the code doesnt have keymap detection yet | 07:10 |
| ogra | i'll try to get used to it :) thanks for all the help | 07:10 |

| infinity | When I first started using Debian, I didn't really understand the difference, but got into the habit of always purging for aesthetic reasons. | 07:11 |
| infinity | (Underscores are prettier in dselect than dashes) | 07:11 |
| ogra | heh | 07:11 |
| Kamion | infinity: heh, absolutely | 07:12 |
| slomo | hm, does someone know what to do with already fixed CVE in LP? this one was fixed weeks ago: https://launchpad.net/malone/cve/2005-2718 | 07:13 |
| === tvo [n=tobi@5354EA9B.cable.casema.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | slomo: I don't think the CVE itself ought to get closed; if there was an associated task to fix it in Ubuntu, *that* should get closed | 07:15 |
| infinity | A way to add a reference either to the -changes post that fixed it, or the USN that did so would be nice. | 07:16 |
| slomo | Kamion: ok... there never was one... but pitti's tool thinks it is still unresolved: http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ubuntu-cve/unfixed.html | 07:16 |
| infinity | slomo : pitti's tool parses changelogs. If the CVE isn't mentioned in the mplayer changelog, it's considered vulnerable unless he adds a manual override. | 07:17 |
| slomo | infinity: ok, i'll tell him... there was no CVE at the time I fixed it ;) | 07:17 |
| infinity | slomo : Did you fix it in all releases? | 07:18 |
| slomo | infinity: only for breezy... shall i take care of it for warty and hoary? | 07:19 |
| infinity | slomo : Yes, if you have an isolated patch for it that you can easily backport. | 07:19 |
| slomo | infinity: if it applies cleanly or can be easily backported to the old versions... yes... is pitti the one to talk to when i've fixed packages? | 07:21 |
| infinity | slomo : Yes. | 07:22 |
| infinity | slomo : I can review the debdiff for you and probably give you an okay to upload if it looks sane, but ultimately he's the one who will need to release the final packages to the archive. | 07:22 |
| slomo | infinity: ok, i'll prepare the debdiffs at the weekend... i don't have any time for it before... what would the version numbers be? | 07:23 |
| infinity | Erm. Nothing, it looks like. <scratch head> | 07:25 |
| infinity | Maybe we didn't have mplayer in hoary or warty. | 07:25 |
| infinity | I don't see it. :) | 07:25 |
| infinity | Oh, nevermind. Just didn't have the metapackage. | 07:25 |
| slomo | we had 1.0-pre5-0.6ubuntu1 in warty and 1.0-pre6-0.3ubuntu6 in hoary | 07:25 |
| slomo | ok ;) | 07:25 |
| infinity | Okay, so for hoary, we have "1:1.0-pre6-0.3ubuntu6". Make yours "1:1.0-pre6-0.3ubuntu6.1" | 07:25 |
| infinity | And the same .1 on the end of the warty version. | 07:26 |

| da_bon_bon | how do i see all the patches and fixes that ubuntu applies to a particular package ? | 08:54 |
| ogra | mdz, we really should remove ltspadmin and friends asap... i had a lot of unnecessary support for people who use it on breezy ltsp already | 08:55 |
| ogra | (and break their working install with it) | 08:55 |
| mdz | ogra: we shouldn't remove them; using ltsp 4.1 on ubuntu is a valid use case | 08:56 |
| da_bon_bon | how about ubuntu using suspend2 instead of swsusp ? | 08:56 |
| mdz | I have removed the dependencies in baz | 08:56 |
| ogra | mdz, but mixing them breaks totally... | 08:56 |
| da_bon_bon | its more configurable, and works. | 08:56 |
| ogra | da_bon_bon, we only accept patches that are likely to be accepted upstream | 08:57 |
| ogra | swsusp2 isnt among them | 08:57 |
| da_bon_bon | ogra: but swsusp is really buggy. | 08:57 |
| da_bon_bon | why not move over to a nicer interface ? | 08:58 |
| ogra | da_bon_bon, file a bug | 08:58 |
| da_bon_bon | :) | 08:58 |
| ogra | so it will get better | 08:58 |
| da_bon_bon | a bug ? Move to suspend2 | 08:58 |
| da_bon_bon | it just doesnt work. | 08:58 |
| ogra | a bug about swsusp | 08:58 |
| ogra | works fine for me ... | 08:58 |
| da_bon_bon | for people ho donot use acpi, its bad | 08:58 |
| da_bon_bon | wont ever know when to switch off the pc. | 08:59 |
| da_bon_bon | and, suspend2 has already been submitted for peer review. | 09:00 |
| mdz | da_bon_bon: this has been discussed already; should be in the mailing list archives | 09:00 |
| da_bon_bon | mdz: if possible, can you tell me the final views ? i am not subscribed to the devel list. | 09:00 |
| mdz | da_bon_bon: you don't need to be subscribed; the list archives are on the web and searchable (the discussion was several weeks ago at least) | 09:01 |
| da_bon_bon | uh.. | 09:01 |
| da_bon_bon | ok | 09:01 |
| === da_bon_bon looks | ||
