=== Loevborg [n=loevborg@d7-218.dip.axsp.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:04] kbrooks: it's in multiverse because you generally can't actually use it without non-free ROMs, i.e. the same reason that it's in Debian contrib. See zsnes/debian/README.Debian. [12:04] Kamion, but its licensed under the GNU GPL [12:05] yes, but main+universe is supposed to be closed under dependency; that is, if you can't use software there to any significant degree without requiring non-free software, it doesn't go in main/universe. [12:06] Debian's contrib and non-free sections map to restricted/multiverse unless we explicitly override that due to differing licensing policies, and this isn't one of the areas where our licensing policy differs from Debian's. Sorry. [12:07] See http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-contrib, relevantly "free packages which require contrib, non-free packages or packages which are not in our archive at all for compilation or execution" [12:10] Kamion: got a sec? I'm trying to figure out why breezy is uninstallable (sic); aptitude -o debug::pkgproblemresolver=true isn't being helpful - is there another magic switch for aptitude? [12:11] that's the only one I know of ... let me see if I can zen it out [12:12] Kamion: the base cause is that libesd-alsa0 is now in ubuntu-desktop; it always should have been, but wasn't due to bugs in the dak setup === jvw [i=jeroen@220pc220.sshunet.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:13] huh, so there were bugs other than the cron.sync Task screwup? (which shouldn't have affected ubuntu-desktop) [12:14] Kamion: this particular bug was that I assumed apt-ftparchive would automatically concatenate multiple Task entries in the extra file - it doesn't tho [12:14] oh, ok [12:15] Kamion: so stuff was never getting into multiple tasks, in breezy pre-my-changes, libesd-alsa0 was only in edubuntu-desktop [12:15] now it's in edubuntu-desktop _and_ ubuntu-desktop [12:15] ugh, amazing netboot worked at all [12:15] Kamion: for ref ~jackass/katie/backup/pre-fixes/ might be useful [12:16] [err jackass:~katie/ obviously, but you knew that] [12:16] Kamion: yes :( [12:16] I don't think netboot did work in !server mode for much of anything [12:16] or I'm amazed if it did [12:16] unless aptitude's just blatantly ignoring |-ed deps ... [12:17] hmm, libasound2 isn't in ubuntu-desktop, wonder why [12:18] oh, it's in minimal, ok === doko_ [n=doko@dslb-084-059-076-155.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:20] err, in breezy? [12:20] yeah [12:20] oh, indirectly [12:21] <\sh> grr..good morning... [12:22] elmo: try -o Aptitude::CmdLine::Resolver-Debug=true [12:22] aptitude has its own problem resolver, I think [12:23] hmm, no dice [12:23] using pkgproblemresolver does give me more info, justnot enough and not the usual apt spew [12:24] ok, can I reproduce this with a debootstrap? === robotgeek [n=robotgee@ppp-70-250-189-91.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:24] Kamion: yes, I did it in a --variant=buildd chroot [12:25] and then 'aptitude install "~tubuntu-standard|~tubuntu-desktop"' [12:25] (after installing aptitude) === macd [n=D@adsl-150-26-114.aby.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:39] When are the "beta" (e.g. flight) cds released? when the distro is stable [12:39] ? [12:40] kbrooks: that plus when I have time to do it [12:40] Kamion, huh? [12:40] (BTW, we're going to be calling the previously-so-called "Preview" release "Beta" from now on) [12:40] ("alpha" is a better description of the Flight CD releases) [12:40] Kamion, ok, s/alpha/beta/ [12:40] why are the cd releases named flight? [12:41] kbrooks: Flight CD releases require manual QA and usually fixups from someone, and that someone is usually me [12:41] er, beta alpha [12:41] kbrooks: collective noun for both dragons and ducks (i.e. Drake) === jvw_ [i=jeroen@220pc220.sshunet.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:41] elmo: please sync lmodern from debian unstable, overriding ubuntu changes is OK [12:42] what is "tubuntu" [12:42] ? [12:42] nothing [12:42] ~t is part of an aptitude pattern [12:42] ah === robotgeek [n=robotgee@ppp-70-250-189-91.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [12:45] elmo: ah, that aptitude option is new in dapper's aptitude, arse [12:47] arse? [12:47] :) [12:47] kbrooks: ok, explaining everything I say to somebody else is getting kind of old now :) === jvw [i=jeroen@220pc220.sshunet.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:48] elmo: (BTW you want --without-recommends to match the installer, not that it makes any difference) [12:49] Kamion: ah, ok === macd [n=D@adsl-150-26-114.aby.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:56] elmo: hmm, even more bizarrely, it seems to be quite happy for me to install the ubuntu-desktop task from the UI [01:00] ugh === freeflying_ [n=freeflyi@61.190.65.38] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:05] oh, ok, so if I do: [01:05] differences between what installing ubuntu-desktop wants to install and the list in Task: ubuntu-desktop: [01:05] +apmd [01:05] apt-get install $(apt-cache dumpavail | grep-dctrl -FTask -sPackage ubuntu-desktop | cut -d: -f 2) [01:05] +laptop-mode [01:05] +libqthreads-12 [01:05] -mysql-common-4.1 [01:05] +mysql-common === daniels_mobile [n=mobil_68@midgaard.ntnu.nu] has joined #Ubuntu-devel [01:06] not clear to me that any of that is relevant [01:06] (dude, grep-dctrl -n) [01:06] mdz: don't happen to know if LAX has any wireless? [01:07] <\sh> daniels_mobile: whereever .nu is...but give us back xvfb-run :) [01:07] Stuck here for another 7 hours but no frigging networks I can see. === daniels [n=daniels@amnesiac.heapspace.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:08] elmo: hmm, I guess the mysql-common thing isn't helping [01:09] daniels_mobile: http://www.jiwire.com/browse-hotspot-airport-united-states-us-california-ca-los-angeles-17239.htm [01:09] elmo: ugh, look at the dependencies of libmysqlclient12 and libmysqlclient14 [01:10] I bet those are confusing matters something rotten [01:10] elmo: thanks. Any executive summary? Can't get big pages on my phone. In the Bradley international terminal, pre-security. [01:11] daniels_mobile: it claims there is one, but doesn't given any useful info, it looks like a bit of a lame site tho [01:11] Okay, thanks. I'll do some more wandering. [01:11] it's meant to be a "Boingo" network, and the map is useless [01:12] christ, these deps are a mess [01:12] elmo: we explicitly seeded mysql-common in the breezy server seed to avoid a similar problem [01:13] elmo: I'm wondering if LALALAYOUDIDN'THEARTHIS demoting mysql-common-4.1 to breezy/universe LALALA would help [01:14] I'm wondering if we shouldn't just put the old Packages files back [01:14] I think it would, actually [01:14] and declare that gina/soyuz/lp doesn't get to generate the indices files for a released suite [01:14] the old indices files *were* fucked in other ways though ... [01:15] well at least netboot for ubuntu worked with the old ones :P [01:15] but yeah, I guess [01:15] ugh [01:15] how about tomorrow I set up a fake archive with my proposed change and see if it works? [01:15] this still doesn't explain libesd0 tho? [01:16] I suspect aptitude may be running into the mysql thing and giving up [01:16] ah [01:16] once stuff is broken apt* can be a lot less willing to fix other things [01:16] worth noting that the released CD images include libesd-alsa0 and mysql-common, but not libesd0 or mysql-common-4.1 [01:17] which at least gives us a guide to what we're supposed to be installing [01:17] well, except kubuntu must have libesd0, but yeah [01:17] right, yeah, sorry, just referring to Ubuntu here [01:18] I note that Task: kubuntu-desktop in the new Packages files manages to include both mysql-common and mysql-common-4.1 [01:18] *sob* === LaserJock [n=LaserJoc@ppp-69-227-157-8.dsl.renocs.pacbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:19] tho, if we demote mysql-common-4.1, that should stop that? [01:19] should do ... [01:19] I'd probably want to rerun germinate against faked-up Packages files and check out the differences [01:20] explicit seeding would help kubuntu but I don't see how it could help ubuntu/edubuntu [01:20] (of mysql-common) [01:21] the other option I can think of is an updated ubuntu-desktop binary, but that's possibly even more horrible than a demotion [01:21] since it would have to go in breezy, not breezy-updates, and VOMIT [01:23] breezy-updates is on by default tho, right? [01:24] or is it still too late? === LeeJunFan [n=junfan@adsl-69-210-207-5.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:24] hm, you're right [01:25] ok, that's theoretically an option [01:26] hmm, removing mysql-common-4.1 from my local apt-cached Packages file doesn't fix the libesd0 thing [01:27] can you remove stuff from the Packages file in apt? [01:27] oh, smeg, smeg, smeg [01:28] what about thebinary cache? [01:28] you know, having our main distribution be a substring of our derivative distributions really wasn't a good idea [01:28] oh, you're kidding? [01:28] (a) in your grep above, "ubuntu-desktop" matches "kubuntu-desktop" and "edubuntu-desktop" [01:28] (b) in the aptitude pattern encoded into the breezy installer, the same applies [01:29] headdesk [01:29] ARGH [01:30] yeah, confirmed [01:31] (yes, it seems you can go in and edit the cached Packages file; I edited Release too for good measure, although it didn't seem to care that I hadn't changed Release.gpg - apparently it only validates that on update) [01:31] aptitude install "~t^ubuntu-desktop" works [01:31] but that won't install the right thing, unless you arrange for "ubuntu-desktop" always to come first in the Task lines [01:31] oh, is that how the ~t thing works? eww [01:31] 3 packages upgraded, 910 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [01:31] although it'll probably be relatively close because the ubuntu-desktop binary is only in Task: ubuntu-desktop [01:31] doesn't look too far out? [01:32] so that'll pull in the rest [01:32] ah [01:32] oh, god, I have no clue how to solve this at 12:30 in the morning [01:32] don't worry about it, it's been broken for a while, there's no rush [01:32] yes, reverting to the old Packages files seems like the only sane thing to do right now [01:32] (since Nov 23rd, to be exact) [01:33] christ, what a uselessly broken hotspot [01:33] and maybe, if we have to, providing shadow Packages files somewhere unofficial where people can point Kubuntu or Edubuntu netboot installs [01:33] it's down in the checkin area, where the food and powerpoints aren't, and it's munted for seven minutes out of every ten [01:33] Is ubuntu *itself* licensed? [01:33] although they'd have to be signed with the archive key which is, er, kinda awkward [01:33] \sh: you do know I've been on holiday all last week, right? [01:34] remind me why we don't just do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for netboots? [01:34] Is ubuntu *itself* licensed? [01:34] kbrooks: your question is meaningless and repeating it, doesn't help [01:35] <\sh> daniels: i'm just teasing you...don't take me too serious [01:35] elmo, meaningful question ... ok [01:35] elmo: semi-historical reasons originally, partly that I found the metapackage broke more during development, and nowadays installing the metapackage doesn't clue aptitude in to the fact that it should consider all the dependencies of ubuntu-desktop individually manually installed [01:36] why is ubuntu apparently "open source" if ubuntu itself is not placed under a license? [01:36] please don't troll #ubuntu-devel, thanks [01:36] Kamion: ugh, right, ok [01:36] I'm not trolling. [01:36] kbrooks: You have permission to distribute modified or unmodified versions of everything in Ubuntu [01:37] The CD packaging specifies that you have permission to distribute the CD, too [01:37] OK [01:38] I suggest you consult a lawyer if you have specific concerns; most people here do not have legal training and are merely trying to do the best they can [01:38] or just ask debian-legal, they rock [01:39] heh, i'll look in there [01:39] ty [01:39] (although between us we have fairly extensive experience with free software licences) [01:39] (i.e. enough not to generally wildly cock it up, we hope) [01:42] elmo: actually, you were right, apparently aptitude's ~t pattern matches task names individually === thierry_ [n=thierry@modemcable058.142-201-24.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:43] so '~t^ubuntu-desktop$' should be a viable workaround [01:44] but unfortunately there's no way to retrofit that into breezy without a base-config upload to breezy, and breezy-updates *wouldn't* cut it in that case [01:44] I'll fix my local dapper trees now though [01:44] kbrooks, zsnes updated to 1.420 [01:45] seth_k, ok [01:45] kbrooks, just hit archive so you should be able to apt-get it now [01:45] Kamion: ugh === robertj [n=robertj@66-188-77-153.dhcp.athn.ga.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === john_ [n=john@c-67-175-52-127.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [01:53] elmo: I'm off to bed, will look more in the morning [01:53] Kamion: ok, thanks a lot for looking at it === Jimbob_ [n=jcape@c-67-175-222-235.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === nix4me [n=nix4me@49.104.207.68.cfl.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === aigarius [n=aigarius@159.148.239.80] has joined #ubuntu-devel === raphink [n=raphink@bur91-2-82-231-159-240.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-devel === trulux [n=lorenzo@unaffiliated/trulux] has joined #ubuntu-devel === freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.190.65.38] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mahangu [n=mahangu@unaffiliated/mahangu] has joined #ubuntu-devel === poningru [n=poningru@n128-227-82-53.xlate.ufl.edu] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mahangu [n=mahangu@unaffiliated/mahangu] has joined #ubuntu-devel === SEJeff [n=SEJeff@12-222-183-136.client.insightBB.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === poningru [n=poningru@n128-227-82-53.xlate.ufl.edu] has joined #ubuntu-devel === ikuyaLoqu [n=ikuya@gnulinux.good-day.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === slomo_ [n=slomo@ubuntu/member/slomo] has joined #ubuntu-devel === daniels_mobile [n=mobil_70@midgaard.ntnu.nu] has joined #ubuntu-devel === zyga [n=zyga@2-mi2-1.acn.waw.pl] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mahangu_ [n=mahangu@unaffiliated/mahangu] has joined #ubuntu-devel === jlj [n=agp@cpe-204-210-33-233.san.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Toma- [n=lin4me@203-59-179-124.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:45] is there any talk of including initng with dapper? [03:49] nothing major like that for dapper [03:49] but initng is a hack [03:49] i believe the ideal solution is porting sun's stuff === ozamosi [n=nnnnnnnn@h177n9c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:50] Amaranth: What did sun do? [03:51] i can't remember but it has real dependency handling and such [03:51] http://lists.debian.org/debian-lsb/2005/08/msg00013.html [03:52] what would be cool is to say "start GDM" and have the init system handle all the dependencies to make that happen [03:52] The new lsb has an example for paralell init script execution. That would be the easiest likely [03:52] Yes you're very right [03:52] that would be nice [03:52] apt-start gdm would be cool [03:53] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_Management_Facility [03:53] that's what solaris has [03:55] I don't really dig anything that tears out init scripts and starts from sratch. Perhaps because I like being able to do a slow transition. [03:55] And I'm not sure I see the point, except to be hip and cool. [03:56] everyone that tries linux says it starts so slow. alot of people like to turn their PC's off alot for some crazy reason [03:56] If we can achieve similar results through a dependency-based sysv-init behave-alike, it's less confusion for people upgrading and wondering WTF happened. [03:56] yeh === mahangu [n=mahangu@unaffiliated/mahangu] has joined #ubuntu-devel === bmonty [n=bmontgom@wsip-68-15-230-31.om.om.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:24] I really don't fancy having so many scripts sitting around in /etc. No technical reason though. I like Macs launchd or whatever.

[04:45] desrt: i think i found what i needed [04:46] addl $8, %ecx ? [04:46] mov 8(%ebp), %ecx is mov ecx, [ebp+8] [04:46] desrt: yeah...brain fuzz is a bitch [04:47] desrt: yeah....thanks a lot! === LaserJock [n=LaserJoc@ppp-69-227-157-8.dsl.renocs.pacbell.net] has left #ubuntu-devel [] === bmonty [n=bmontgom@wsip-68-15-230-31.om.om.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === mahangu [n=mahangu@unaffiliated/mahangu] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Xoff [n=mas01cr@gibbons.doc.gold.ac.uk] has joined #ubuntu-devel === zenrox [n=zenrox@71.115.198.118] has joined #ubuntu-devel === MarioMeyer_ [n=meyer@ubuntu/member/mariomeyer] has joined #ubuntu-devel === bmonty [n=bmontgom@wsip-68-15-230-31.om.om.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:54] what's the usual solution to autoconf insisting on libxt-dev's header files to test for X? just build-depend on it? [05:56] Least resistance is to build-dep on libxt-dev, "correct" solution is to re-autocrapify with a shiny new autoconf that gets it right. [05:57] how new? [05:58] like, newer than breezy? because breezy still seems to reference Intrisic.h when you use AC_PATH_XTRA [05:59] ugh, holy crap [06:00] it appears the "solution" is a debian-specific patch that makes optional arguments to AC_PATH_XTRA so you can tell it to look for something other than libXt [06:02] Yeah, uhm. Note I had "correct" in quotation marks above. [06:02] I don't think the upstream autotools guys have given a single thought to modular X yet. [06:02] Or, if they have, they're not letting us know what they've come up with. [06:03] I assume in the end, the old X-related macros will just become deprecated, and we'll get new ones for each library and wire protocol, or something. [06:04] well given debian is the de facto upstream for this package, I don't think adding debian specific stuff to configure.in is likely to win me any friends [06:04] oh well, bogus build-depends it is [06:09] * Remove some ancient debian-specific patches [06:09] - install no longer calls strip with special options [06:09] grr [06:14] morning [06:14] coreutils has been making everyone happy lately, for different reasons.

[08:58] (In the build directory, of course) [08:59] I had assumed that test suites would ship their own example locales, hmm [08:59] pitti: every package which needs locales for the testsuite needs them [08:59] pitti: but you didn't mention it in the spec ;-P [09:00] doko: no, I didn't even think about the possibility of that [09:00] please fix it. kthxbye [09:00] 'every' can't be that many, though [09:01] ok, so should there be a locales-all package maybe? [09:01] doko: 'fix'? what's your suggestion? [09:01] which depends on every langpack package? [09:01] either gcc could just copy the locale definitions, or we create an -all package [09:01] how would this package look like? [09:02] doko: no, b-d on all langpacks would be a bit silly [09:02] doko: it could ship the locales in /usr/share/locales-all/, or whereever [09:02] so the -all package would contain a copy, which is only used as a b-d? [09:02] doko: would be an option, yes. no idea whether it makes sense [09:03] if it's only gcc, then just copying the locales there would make more sense [09:03] then the test suite would be self-containing [09:03] well, at least better than build-depending on language packs [09:03] pitti: hm, sorry. I can't reproduce it anymore. it was language-pack-gnome-zh and/or language-pack-gnome-zh-base during a upgrade [09:04] pitti: I know locales are tested in gcc, bash, python (and maybe binutils as well). [09:04] mvo: well, -zh and -zh-base replace each other, so that can't be it [09:04] mvo: maybe a gnome package coflicted to a non-gnome one? [09:04] the thing is, that we'll break things without knowing about it ... [09:05] doko: ok, since there seem to be more packages, then having an -all package would seem like a clean solution? [09:05] doko: I would build it from langpack-o-matic [09:05] since eventually we'll pull locales from rosetta [09:06] doko: can you tell the test suites where the definitions are? (path) [09:06] pitti: please make it compatible with the previous implementation of localedef, so that script have not to be changed [09:06] doko: localedef did not change at all [09:07] doko: well, it got some belocs enhancements, but localedef only has a default path which wasn't changed [09:07] doko: ok, we can make the langpacks Replace: locales-all [09:08] but that requires another langpacks upload [09:08] pitti: sent you the script [09:08] dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: could not find any packages for /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (libncurses.so.5) [09:08] dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared library libncurses (soname 5, path /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5, dependency field Depends) [09:08] hey guys [09:08] any idea why i could get that error? [09:08] doko: script? [09:08] libncurses5 is installed [09:09] also -dev [09:10] pitti: a script, which many packages use to generate the locales which they need for testing [09:14] doko: hm, the script already looks into `pwd`/locales [09:14] doko: so the locales just need to be there without changing the sript [09:14] pitti ... the dir is empty ... === seb128 [n=seb128@ubuntu/member/seb128] has joined #ubuntu-devel === seb128 [n=seb128@ubuntu/member/seb128] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:15] doko: right, but it means that a quickfix is just to copy the locales there; 12 locales or so are tiny [09:15] Hi seb128 [09:15] hey pitti [09:15] pitti: that's the wrong fix. touching N packages instead of one. [09:16] doko: it's a 'quickfix' [09:16] doko: building and uploading 300 new language packs is not a 5-minute fix [09:16] some would call it crap ;-P [09:16] doko: I would call it 'self-contained test suite' :) [09:17] pitti: wrong, I'm not supposed to test against my own data, but against the system's data. I don't include the libraries I use, as well. === dholbach [n=daniel@i577B17D2.versanet.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:19] good morning === olemke [n=olemke@iup.physik.uni-bremen.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:19] seb128: dude, more libcairo fun. change the package name, if you remove symbols :-( === lucas [n=lucas@alabama.imag.fr] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:20] doko: I don't remove symbols [09:20] doko: Debian do, I've dropped the patch for Ubuntu [09:21] hi dholbach [09:21] hey seb128 :) [09:21] seb128: then maybe the shlibs dependency needs to be tighened? see siretart's posting on u-d [09:21] doko: well, if you truly want to test against what the system has, then b-dep'ing on the langpacks wouldn't even be completely wrong [09:22] doko: it lacks any detail to be useful [09:22] doko: imho this has nothing to do with cairo, that's the freetype ABI breakage itself [09:22] pitti: it's not wrong to use the same mechanism to create these locales on build time. [09:22] freetype dropped symbols [09:22] morning all [09:22] doko: no, it's not, I didn't say that [09:23] seb128: ok [09:23] pitti: so did we agree that we will have a locales-all package? [09:23] doko: as I said, if you want I can create a locales-all package, but I'd prefer to ship the locale definitons in a different path [09:23] pitti: it's ok for me as long as localedef finds this data [09:24] doko: you probably need to adapt the path in the script [09:24] i. e. change LOCDATA [09:24] erm, LOCPATH [09:24] pitti: please no. this way we have to change every package. [09:25] doko: changing 3 packages seems easier than 300, no? [09:25] pitti: a) you _know_ these 300 packages b) it's mechanical c) there are more than 3, and they are unknown [09:26] doko: ok, I'll talk with jbailey about changing localedef, it could look into an alternative path [09:27] pitti: ok, I'll file a bug report to keep track of it [09:27] doko: that would be nice, yes === freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.190.65.38] has joined #ubuntu-devel === zakame [n=zakame@ubuntu/member/zakame] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:35] Riddell: in what package is the kdesu binary? [09:37] kdebase... [09:37] (kdebase-bin for the binary package, I think) [09:39] thanks === zyga [n=zyga@2-mi2-1.acn.waw.pl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:42] seb128: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined [09:42] symbol: FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden [09:43] siretart: freetype symbol [09:43] freetype ABI change [09:43] cf bug I pointed [09:46] seb128: I really don't want to attack you, I just want to really understand whats about this soname magic and how to "bump soname" [09:46] siretart: who said you attack anybody? [09:47] siretart: if the ABI change it a non-compatible way you have to change the soname [09:47] normally upstream does that :) [09:47] but upstream don't always do this actually === vuntz_ [n=vuntz@volin.imag.fr] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:48] lu vuntz_ [09:48] lintian should check the list of exported symbols on a library upgrade :) [09:48] in this case: shouldn't debian do the soname bump? [09:48] and how can we do this in the most compatible way? [09:48] siretart: changing the soname over upstream is making you binary incompatible with the rest of the world [09:49] siretart: the bug report and d-d@ has a discussion on this topic [09:49] ie: if upstream has .so.0 and ubuntu .so.1 [09:49] let's say skype is built with .so.0 [09:49] it'll not run on Ubuntu [09:50] out of this look on libfreetype6 rdepends [09:50] not an easy case [09:50] seb128: how about running dh_makeshlibs in libfreetype with '-V'? [09:50] that's bad [09:50] you should bump the shlibs only when the ABI/API change [09:50] not on every new version [09:51] because you force transitions when not required [09:51] I see === jsgotangco [n=jsg@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:51] and transitionning hundreds of packages is not a piece of cake [09:51] the thing is, it IS required in this case [09:51] so you don't want to do it every single new version for nothing [09:51] right [09:51] soname should have been changed since symbols have been dropped [09:51] which breaks binary compatibily [09:51] the issue is that Debian screwed [09:52] so you suggest that freetype upstream and debian should fix this and we cannot do much about it, right? [09:52] and dholbach asked for a sync of the new version, so we are quite stucked too now [09:52] we don't want to do it differently from Debian === thoron [n=pkoistin@cs.teli.stadia.fi] has joined #ubuntu-devel [09:52] Hi! [09:52] imho we should just bump the shlibs and move on === dholbach mutters something about reducing delta... no idea that would happen... truly sorry... [09:53] dholbach: no need to be sorry, that happens to everybody :) [09:53] thoron: morning [09:53] Could I get somewhere the whole source of Ubuntu build system? [09:53] that's quite a lot :) [09:53] thoron: if you so desired [09:54] Not the packages, only the system that makes the binaries. So that I make my own Linux distribution. ;-) [09:54] isn't it like the debian build system? [09:55] sivang: extremely complicated and takes many many hours to build? [09:55] Anything goes, is there some tarball available? [09:55] seb128: ok. what do we do about this freetype problem? wait for debian or bumb soname on our own? [09:56] thoron: there is no giant source tarball [09:56] thoron: you will have to grab each packages source individually [09:56] HrdwrBoB: No, I am not looking for source packages, I looking for build and release system. [09:57] siretart: my opinion is what I just said, bump the shlibs for now ... you may want to ask to Kamion/mdz [09:57] The tools that Ubuntu or XYZ disto makes it work for source packages to bootable installation ISO images. [09:58] Surely that is not something that is made by hand. [09:58] thoron : svn ls http://svn.cyberhqz.com/svn/wanna-build/ [09:58] thoron : That's (more or less) what we use for building binaries from sources. [09:59] thoron : We use the debian-cd package for making CD images. [09:59] Now we are getting somewhere. ;) Thanks. [09:59] thoron: well, I guess that are many automated parts in it, however I wouldn't count on the assumption it would all go into a nice formatted ISO without some intervention :) [09:59] thoron : Both are heavily modified by us, but that's what's publically available. [10:00] well, I have lot to learn. [10:00] And I don't want to invent wheel again. [10:01] infinity: so why isn't everything public? === Xoff is now known as Xof [10:03] thoron : "Because it's not" is probably the best answer you'll get. Most of our modifications are very specific to Ubuntu, so there's no point in pushing patches back out to the world at large. [10:03] Linux from scratch is interesting project too. === freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.190.65.38] has joined #ubuntu-devel [10:04] There is automation process going on but it's not ready yet.

[12:06] do you mean that cups sulks and doesn't recognise USB printers? [12:08] Keybuk: oh, I found out a bit now [12:09] Keybuk: usb printers are now called /dev/lp0, not /dev/usblp0 any more [12:09] pitti, remove the old xscreensaver cruft, gnome-screensaver is the future ;) (will write the main inclusion reports today for you) [12:09] Keybuk: probably cupsys doesn't recognize that [12:10] Keybuk: oh, and linux-wlan-ng breaks as well - the prism2_usb module is not loaded automatically :( [12:11] bah, even cp -a lp0 usblp0 doesn't help - cupsys refuses to see the printer [12:12] pitti: you probably want a symlink on /dev [12:12] fabbione: doesn't help [12:12] pitti: yeah, that one I know, I fixed it already locally [12:12] it's /dev/usb/lp0 ... extra / [12:13] ah [12:13] dunno why prism2_usb is not loaded ... easiest way to debug is to run "udevmonitor -e", then plug your adapter in [12:13] ok, I'll do that later [12:13] you'll get a [UEVENT] and [UDEV] block for it (often multiple) [12:15] hm, still no fun with /dev/usb/lp0 [12:15] Keybuk: You noticed bluetooth breaking? [12:15] Keybuk: bluetooth module is there, so udev seems to do its magic, so this is probably nothing for you to worry about. === pitti RTFC [12:16] hunger: not yet [12:16] again, use udevmonitor to capture the device being inserted ... and mail me the output === mpt [n=mpt@200-171-140-32.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:17] Keybuk: cupsys checks for /dev/usblp0, /dev/usb/lp0, /dev/usb/usblp0; should not be a problem to teach it /dev/lp0; but for that it has to work with usblp0 first === eruin [n=eruin@proxy-gw.uib.no] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:18] Keybuk: The device is builtin... And I the key combo used to deactivate/activate does no longer work. [12:19] hunger: built-in, or mini-PCI? on my laptop the wifi killswitch also kills the bluetooth. [12:19] pitti: nah, will fix the udev rules instead [12:19] Keybuk: k, but still a cp -a of the device should certainly work? [12:19] Keybuk: No idea how it is integrated. [12:19] since the kernel is only interested in the major/minor? [12:20] Keybuk: The wifi killswitch used to kill BT as well on mine. Unfortunately that no longer works since the kernel/udev upgrade. [12:20] pitti: yes, but cups may not be inotifying the /dev directory if it only looks when hal tells it about a new device ... [12:21] hunger: what wireless card is it? [12:21] Keybuk: BT is allways on now... but does not react to my mouse. [12:21] Keybuk: no, cupsys doesn't use hal - it just opens every usblp device it can find and issues some ioctls on it [12:21] Keybuk: Uses madwifi drivers... lspci lists it as Atheros AR5212. [12:21] Keybuk: (in list_devices) [12:22] hunger: is your wifi card working? is it up? [12:22] pitti: when does it call that? [12:22] Keybuk: might very well be that the usblp driver was broken in a more recent kernel [12:22] Keybuk: whenever you ask for the device list [12:22] Keybuk: It is down at the moment. [12:22] Keybuk: but manually forcing usb:/dev/lp0 as a device doesn't work any more either [12:22] Keybuk: Wifi does work. [12:22] could be [12:22] Keybuk: I'll gdb this and dig a bit further [12:23] I think there's also a race if you have a real /dev/lp0 [12:23] the kernel uses "lp0" to refer to both a real printer, and a usb printer [12:23] right, that's probably why the USB device detector doesn't check for /dev/lpX [12:23] and depending which one gets detected first, wins the name [12:23] yeah [12:24] Keybuk: oh, btw, with "yeah, that one I know, I fixed it already locally -- it's /dev/usb/lp0 ... extra /' [12:24] Keybuk: did you mean that it should be /dev/usblp0 right now? [12:24] what do you think it should be? [12:24] Keybuk: no, I mean, my current /dev/lp0 is probably my parallel port [12:25] Keybuk: so priting somethign to it is doomed to fail [12:25] right [12:25] so there is no device for my printer [12:25] yes [12:25] here's a good way to fix it [12:26] echo 'BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="lp[0-9] *", NAME="usb/%k"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/50-printer.rules [12:26] usbplug -Busb [12:26] ok, I have the udevmointor output for the printer [12:27] that should create /dev/usb/lp0 for you === pitti does not have an usbplug program [12:27] sorry, udevplug === mantiena [n=mantas@ctv-217-147-43-171.init.lt] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Ieinu"] [12:30] Keybuk: yay, that worked [12:31] should it be /dev/usblp0 or /dev/usb/lp0 ? [12:31] which one does the cupsys source seem to "prefer" ? [12:32] Keybuk: /dev/usblp0 [12:32] Keybuk: but it doesn't really care [12:32] Keybuk: but the flat name seems more consistent nowadays [12:32] right [12:32] flat it is then [12:33] Keybuk: what I don't understand is: there already is a rule 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", KERNEL="lp[0-9] *", GROUP="lp"' [12:34] Keybuk: is SUBSYSTEM wrong? [12:34] it's obviously evaluated since the permissions are correct [12:34] so both rules match [12:34] but with only this rule I should have gotten a /dev/lp1 [12:34] oh, wait, no [12:35] it seems that the kernel enumerates usb lp devices separately [12:35] exactlyu [12:35] kernel names them *both* lp0 [12:35] and udev doesn't compensate by re-enumeration [12:35] that explains the race [12:40] Keybuk: shall I open a bug report with that rule? or is your todo list enough for that? === pitti_ [n=pitti@195.227.105.180] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:46] pitti: it's already done [12:46] pending, if you like [12:46] doing an update to 077 today, then will release it [12:47] ok, great; then a bug report doesn't make sense [12:48] Keybuk: l-wlan-ng is a kernel fault, btw [12:48] pitti: how's that? [12:49] fabbione: well, not a bug in the kernel itself, just the prism2_usb driver needs updates for the new kernel [12:49] ok.. [12:49] fabbione: dmesg says 'driver is using old /proc/net/wireless support, please fix driver' [12:49] ehehe [12:50] module is loaded, wlan0 appears in iwconfig, but with 'no wireless support' [12:50] fix the driver ;) [12:51] and what do I do in the afternoon?

[02:31] jbailey: we need a locales-all package since some packages need the locales in their test suites at build time (gcc, etc.) [02:31] jbailey: right now, localedef looks in /usr/share/i18n/locales [02:32] hi [02:32] jbailey: can we have it additionally look into /usr/share/locales-all? (or sth. similar) [02:32] jbailey: to avoid a file conflict of locales-all with the langpacks [02:33] Yes, that can be done, I think. [02:34] Do you need glibc to look at those as well, though? [02:34] I think you do. [02:34] jbailey: hm, I don't [02:34] jbailey: the only issue is the path of the definition sources [02:34] not the binary generated ones [02:34] jbailey: we only need to unbreak the test suites [02:34] Ah, I see. [02:35] So it's for an overall dump that can be just installed and generated as needed? === seb128 [n=seb128@ubuntu/member/seb128] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:37] jbailey: right, it should just become a build dep of python, gcc, bash (and possibly a few others) [02:37] jbailey: pretty hackish, but I don't see another good solution; doko doesn't want gcc et al to b-dep on 10 langpacks [02:38] (understandably...) [02:38] Lazy sod. === jbailey hides [02:38] =) [02:38] jbailey: so this -all package can just be generated from langpack-o-matic, which has the locale data [02:39] jbailey: alternatively, we change the structure again to just use this -all package in the langpacks and not ship the locales in the langpacks itself [02:39] jbailey: it doesn't sound too bad either [02:39] (and then -all is superfluous, it should just be locales) [02:40] jbailey: get you coffee^Wtea first, so you become bearable ;-) [02:40] pitti: yes, the proposal sounds good [02:41] well, having locales spread in langpacks is still a nice idea IMHO [02:41] e. g. the -all approach would force us to update locales-all whenever we update a locake in a langpack [02:42] so we can't do that after a release [02:42] Having them spread throughout, I think, make for a more scalable installation as we penetrate to more communities. [02:42] (that's why b-deps on the langpacks are the only true way to get the locales that are actually used in the system) [02:42] pitti: Is locales-all just intended for build-dep'ing? Like for testsuites and whatnot? [02:42] So there'd be no reason to update it after a reelase. [02:42] jbailey: right now, yes [02:42] (And not much reason to update it ever, really...) [02:43] jbailey: if we don't update it, then it becomes senseless [02:43] then we can as well copy the locales into the sources itself [02:43] Things that depend on localisations for their testsuites are (to some degree) broken, since there's no promises that the data won't change. The glibc testsuite made a bunch of assumptions that the belocs locales had changed. [02:43] Right. That's part of what I'm wondering. [02:44] Should the testsuites themselves just cache a version that they know to meet their needs that won't change? [02:44] pitti, jbailey: why not ship the data in /usr/share/i18n/locales in the locales package? [02:44] jbailey: according to doko, the testsuites want the actually used locales in the system, which makes sense to me [02:44] doko: file conflict with langpacks [02:44] pitti: that's solvable [02:45] pitti: How does it make sense? There's no promise about collation ordering, currencies, symbol names, etc. [02:45] These things do slowly change. [02:45] jbailey: right, comparing string output doesn't make sense, but I don't know what the locale tests actually do. doko? [02:45] I had to fix the glibc testsuite to work with the belocs data because its internal collation testing relied on ordering that had changed with belocs. [02:46] pitti: is the data in /usr/share/i18n/locales managed by rosetta? if not, then there's no reason not to keep it in the locales package [02:46] pitti: I'd assume everything. Python / gcj would want to test date, ordering, currency, etc. [02:46] doko: it will be eventually [02:46] doko: that was part of the idea [02:46] doko: The idea is that as new languages get added to the system, that rosetta can handle all of it. [02:47] doko: So that you come along and decide to, say, get one of the North American native languages into Ubuntu. Translators should be able to generally do all that work in rosetta and not bother the poor coders about it. =) [02:47] well, why not have the same schema as we have with the language packs: have two locations, and if rosetta has an update, use that one [02:48] that's what the alternative path in localedef is about === trulux [n=lorenzo@unaffiliated/trulux] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:48] doko: but still the question remains what gcc etc. actually test about a particular locale? === thesaltydog [n=Fabio@ubuntu/member/thesaltydog] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:49] pitti: yes, but packages can continue to b-d on locales, and don't have to be changed [02:49] doko: That's what we'll do , assuming that it's the right thing. [02:49] I'm not convinced that it's safe for a package to test based on properties of a system locale. [02:49] pitti: have a look, there are just 60000 test cases ;-) [02:49] Because you're caching the results of that system locale in the testsuite. [02:50] With no promise that the system locale is static. [02:52] jbailey: I can see how you'd want to test against the current system locales, though [02:52] <\sh> jbailey: Sure...I would like to see you doing some lectures on cdbs for the ubuntu motu school :) lets talk about date and time later [02:53] as opposed to some artificial set of locales that don't actually correspond to what will be used [02:53] jbailey: well, that's no change to the current approach. We do work with the system locale, so we should test with it as well [02:53] jbailey : By that argument, we shouldn't have testsuites, unless we're going to re-run them every time anything on the system changes. [02:53] Kamion: It depends on what you're testing. [02:53] glibc's a special case because it's shipping tools that manage the locales, but most other testsuites will want to test that they work *with* the system locales [02:53] Kamion: it depends on what you actually test for [02:54] Most of the time I don't think they're actually interested in testing that "In german, collation comes out in this order". That's a nonsensical test. [02:55] What I suspect that they want is that a series of colation option DTRT. [02:55] And that this is conveninently tested by looking at German, Chinese, and Khosa. =) === thesaltydog [n=Fabio@ubuntu/member/thesaltydog] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Sto] [02:55] \sh: Lovely. =) === pitti_ [n=pitti@195.227.105.180] has joined #ubuntu-devel [02:56] hrmpf network [02:56] Kamion: an artificial locale is the right thing for checking correct collation, time formatting, etc., whereas the system locale is good for checking for - well - hmm, whether the time is formatted at all?

[05:34] Kamion: ok to remove or not? [05:35] Hmm. So I want to make a new project/package/thing for AutomatedTesting (got to the top of my list, yay). [05:35] elmo: not - partman.udeb's been replaced by partman.deb [05:35] What should I do about revision control ? (a) cp -a (b) CVS (c) baz (d) bzr (e) hct ? [05:37] elmo, [05:37] Diziet: I don't think (e) is far enough along yet to generally use the way you'll want, and is primarily targetted to packages. [05:37] This won't be a complicated project. Is bzr ready enough ? How's its integration with the .dsc toolchains ? [05:37] jbailey: Right. This will be a package. [05:37] Diziet: I use bzr for all my personal projects now. [05:37] I haven't gotten around to writing bzr-buildpackage, although I keep meaning to. [05:37] More interesting things keep coming up for spare time hacking like that. [05:38] Right :-). I'm not sure I want to get into that kind of yak-shaving either. Presumably if you haven't done it yet it's not that essential. [05:38] I use bzr as well for all new stuff and it works very well for me [05:38] I haven't used bzr at all. [05:38] Diziet: Are you likely to be the main developer for this stuff? [05:38] Yes, at least for now. [05:38] Diziet: Here's all you need to know to start with: [05:38] But I should learn bzr anyway so maybe this is a good place to start. [05:39] Diziet: Put everything in a directory where you want it and are ready for the initial commit. Then do: bzr init; bzr add .; bzr commit -m "Initial Commit" [05:39] Diziet: Literally: Setup the repo, add all the files from the current directory down, actually do the commit. [05:39] I'm very `commit early, commit often' whereever possible. bzr's cheap branches seem likely to be good for that. [05:39] Diziet: It requires no server. It puts everything in a .bzr directory off the root of the tree. [05:40] jb: And when you dpkg-buildpackage you end up shipping a copy of the repo too ? [05:40] Diziet: I do a -I.bzr in my debuild. [05:40] jbailey: Right. [05:41] Diziet: I have a arch-build in my debian/rules with "tar cf - `bzr inventory` | (cd debian/arch-build/$(PKG)-$(DEBVER);tar xf -) [05:41] " [05:41] Oh, debuild has been rewritten by someone-not-Christoph-Lameter. Maybe I'll try it out some time :-). [05:42] mvo: :-). [05:43] Err, WDYM `arch' ? Is this `bazaar is a brand so it doesn't mean anything, and bazaar is supposedly the successor to arch, so arch must be a brand too, so arch==bzr' ? :-) [05:43] Diziet: I've done a ssh people.ubuntu.com mkdir -p public_html/bzrtree then after that "bzr push people.ubuntu.com:public_html/bzrtree/PACKAGE" [05:43] Diziet: And then anyone else can branch from you trivially. And then it's also someone else job to put it onto a tape backup. =) [05:43] Is there a bzr reference manual ? I like reference manuals much more than recipes and howtos. [05:44] I have my own tape backup here :-P. [05:44] I do too. It's in a box somewhere. [05:44] I don't know if I can still buy tapes for it. =) [05:44] Right under the 4 obsolete CRTs and the Sun4c, right. [05:44] Hey it's not that bad. [05:44] It's a Mips 5000. =) [05:45] Diziet: But basically after that, all you need is the occasional bzr add and frequent bzr commits, and end of day bzr push's. [05:46] It caches the location of the last push, so just "bzr push" is enough after that. [05:46] Like I say, I want a reference manual. [05:46] Cool. [05:46] There might even be one. I === Diziet finds a URL in the FM. === wasabi_ [n=wasabi@207.55.180.150] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:46] 'll go looking when I decide to figure out how merges and cherrypicking works. =) [05:47] jbailey: do you happen to know if there's any way to tell whether you're in an initrd or an initramfs? [05:47] from the perspective of a random shell script running in either [05:47] Hmm. I can have http://www.bazaar-ng.org/obsolete-docs/cmdref.html which looks nice but out of date, or a wiki (doom). [05:47] or 'bzr help commands' [05:48] Kamion: Am I allowed to assume that the initramfs was created by initramfs-tools, or are you looking from the first point when you start up? [05:48] That's not quite a reference manual :-). [05:48] (although I realise you need an initial "how does it all go together" first [05:48] jbailey: neither, because this is in the live CD [05:49] <\sh> going home [05:49] I can put a cue-file in if I *have* to, but I'd rather not === sbalneav [n=sbalneav@mail.legalaid.mb.ca] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:49] elmo, thanks! [05:49] Kamion: My best guess is that you might be able to check filesystem type. [05:49] Kamion: initrd might be a read-only cramfs. [05:49] initramfs is a RW cramfs. [05:49] err. [05:49] RW ramfs [05:49] but that's a guess. [05:50] in an initrd it's 'tmpfs on / type tmpfs (rw)' [05:50] well, in *this* initrd [05:50] jbailey: also, do you know if anyone's already porting klibc's run-init to busybox? [05:52] Kamion: Oh hm. you're using ext2 images aren't,you? [05:52] that said I suppose run-init's trivial if you don't bother to remove the initramfs contents and if you assume that the new root filesystem has mount and chroot [05:52] jbailey: varies by arch [05:52] from 2.6.15 installer images onwards, at least in Ubuntu, it will be initramfs for everything; before that, it was ext2 on some and cramfs on others, depending on size restrictions and on what our beloved kernel team decided to provide ;) [05:53] (gzipped ext2 was rather more size-efficient than cramfs last time I checked, but wasn't available everywhere) [05:57] Urgh, James B consistently writes `independantly'. [06:00] I have a problem with a desktop system which hangs during shutdown/reboot. On which package should I report the bug on bugzilla ? [06:01] lucas, do the best you can.

The .desktop is made from this one using the po translations for those [07:22] seb128 : ok but if I sent a .desktop addition to upstream, will they create the .desktop.in or is my job to do so?
