| JohnnyMast | ok good excuse :) | 12:14 |
| JohnnyMast | the mgp (Ubuntu) bug | 12:15 |

| JohnnyMast | you replyed to it | 12:16 |
| Kyral | Ah I remember trying to fix it | 12:16 |
| Kyral | it was hard because of soemthing in the way it was built | 12:17 |
| JohnnyMast | but failed ? | 12:17 |
| Kyral | It used the X Build thing | 12:17 |
| JohnnyMast | hmm well let me see | 12:17 |
| JohnnyMast | Ubernerd Johnny :) | 12:18 |
| Kyral | huh? | 12:18 |
| JohnnyMast | if there is a way to fix it ... | 12:18 |
| Kyral | There is but at that time I dind't know how | 12:18 |
| Kyral | for a while I just went around triaging :D | 12:18 |
| JohnnyMast | :) | 12:19 |
| JohnnyMast | when i did read your answer it made me laugh | 12:19 |
| JohnnyMast | well not laugh @ you i mean its almost quote able "Confirmed" lol | 12:20 |
| sistpoty | Kyral, JohnnyMast: if you actually going to work on the bug, please set it's state to accepted | 12:20 |
| Kyral | sistpoty: I wasn't so I didn't :P | 12:20 |
| Kyral | IIRC bddebian said he was.... | 12:21 |

| LaserJock | anybody know about how many packages in universe have ubuntuX versions? | 12:24 |
| Kyral | grep the package list for it? | 12:24 |
| sistpoty | LaserJock: not really, but a rough guess would be 1108 | 12:24 |
| sistpoty | (that's number of entries of the merge list... but some have already been synced, some are yet missing, and some are libstdc++ only) | 12:25 |
| LaserJock | sistpoty: that's good enough | 12:25 |
| Kyral | why do you need to know amigo | 12:26 |
| sistpoty | iirc initial merge count was ~700 | 12:27 |
| LaserJock | Kyral: just trying to explain why there is a lot of work in merging | 12:27 |
| ogra | because thats the amount of merges we carry around for each release | 12:27 |

| JohnnyMast | the same moto as for this place | 12:47 |
| LaserJock | true | 12:48 |
| JohnnyMast | because i want to make t this way it goes trough a merge in dtail | 12:48 |
| JohnnyMast | step by step | 12:48 |
| JohnnyMast | and every consideration | 12:48 |

| JohnnyMast | this way the reader know what he has to do and when her doesnt have todo a thing | 12:49 |
| TheMuso | JohnnyMast: It really does dependon the nature of the package, and what the patches are. | 12:49 |
| JohnnyMast | true | 12:49 |
| TheMuso | I don't believe it is really possible to explain about the patches unless you have a simple example to work with. | 12:49 |
| JohnnyMast | but if you make a dtailed discription you can tell when to leave something out or add something | 12:49 |
| TheMuso | Not forgetting to check the upstream version as well. i.e in Debian, etc. | 12:50 |
| sistpoty | imo examples are always a good thing | 12:50 |
| JohnnyMast | well its more the combi + the considerations | 12:51 |
| LaserJock | however, it is hard to have a real life example if the merge has already been done | 12:51 |
| JohnnyMast | thats what will intrest more ppl in helping motu | 12:51 |
| TheMuso | LaserJock: Very true, sort of what I was trying to say. | 12:51 |
| JohnnyMast | it will make people know earlyer that its not that hard | 12:52 |
| TheMuso | JohnnyMast: Unfortunately that is not so true for a number of packages, as some patches that get dropped involve various languages, like C, python, etc. The merger might not know what they are looking for, and the changelog entries alone may not give them enough info. | 12:54 |
| JohnnyMast | im off guys thanks for the plessent talk | 12:54 |
| sistpoty | good night JohnnyMast | 12:54 |
| JohnnyMast | gnite | 12:54 |
| JohnnyMast | TheMuso you can check the debian patches from the older versions | 12:55 |
| TheMuso | For example, at the moment I avoid such packages as I don't know C/python/C++ very well at all. | 12:55 |
| Kyral | dangit xscreensaver is being a pain again | 12:55 |

| JohnnyMast_AFk | yep | 12:59 |
| JohnnyMast_AFk | type in the src | 12:59 |
| JohnnyMast_AFk | attachement:somename | 12:59 |

| JohnnyMast_AFk | and tada :) | 01:00 |
| JohnnyMast_AFk | sorry im supposed to be afk | 01:00 |
| LaserJock | so, we could grab some of the small diffs from MoM and attach them for an example | 01:00 |
| TheMuso | LaserJock: Yeah. My personal view is we use diffs that are merged/dropped that are only dependancy issues that need resolving. They are the easiest to explain I think. | 01:01 |
| JohnnyMast_AFk | yep | 01:01 |
| LaserJock | check out xcdroast on the done list | 01:02 |
| === TheMuso looks | ||
| TheMuso | LaserJock: That had no dropped patches. | 01:03 |
| LaserJock | true but I don't think that is a problem | 01:03 |
| TheMuso | What did you have to do to it? | 01:03 |
| LaserJock | well, I didn't have to do anything, MOM did it for me ;-) | 01:04 |
| === DapperDrake [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| TheMuso | Ah yeah. I had a similar package yesterday. | 01:04 |
| LaserJock | but it is still a merge | 01:04 |
| LaserJock | we could present it as a manual merge | 01:04 |
| TheMuso | Yeah true. | 01:04 |
| TheMuso | Then you have those packages that MOM does, but can just be a sync anyway, due to Debian implementing ubuntu changes upstream. | 01:05 |
| LaserJock | and then talk about MOM and dropped patches after the reader understands what a merge is | 01:05 |
| TheMuso | Good point. | 01:05 |
| LaserJock | my point with xcdroast is that the diffs are small so we could attach them to the wiki page | 01:06 |
| TheMuso | Yeah true. | 01:08 |

| sistpoty | actually I'm in need of a script, which tells me dapper-version to given sourcepackage name (and same for unstable)... do you happen to have such a thing? | 01:49 |
| ajmitch | yes, but it's a nasty slow hack at the moment until I rewrite it with python-apt | 01:49 |
| ajmitch | which I can do this weekend if you want | 01:49 |
| sistpoty | ajmitch: I need it only to update the merge list, so this will be run only once ;) | 01:50 |
| === Trash[impersonat [n=matt@ip70-176-253-127.ph.ph.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ajmitch | oh right | 01:50 |
| ajmitch | my script does comparisons for every package, if that's what you need? | 01:50 |
| ajmitch | but I'm not sure if it's accurate | 01:50 |
| ajmitch | it gives http://ajmitch.meta.net.nz/debuild/ubuntu/merge-tool/current/merges as output | 01:51 |
| sistpoty | wow, that's a cool bonus... but actually I plan to import keybuks logs into the merge list at first | 01:52 |
| sistpoty | and for this, I need to reset done merges to new, if the current unstable version is higher than the dapper version (at least that's the plan) | 01:52 |
| sistpoty | (and I plan to add version numbers for dapper/unstable to the merge list, at least within the DB) | 01:53 |
| ajmitch | ok | 01:53 |
| ajmitch | http://ajmitch.meta.net.nz/debuild/ubuntu/merge-tool/current/all.list is the full list actually | 01:54 |
| ajmitch | it only printed output when there were version differences | 01:54 |
| ajmitch | and the 'package is missing' is inaccurate also | 01:54 |
| ajmitch | let me get the script.. | 01:55 |
| sistpoty | wow, this is cool... I guess once keybuks logs are in the db I'll feed this into the merge-list as well ;) | 01:55 |

| ajmitch | bzr pull isn't doing much | 01:57 |

| TheMuso | sistpoty: Yes. | 03:17 |
| TheMuso | Thats what I was getting at. | 03:17 |
| LaserJock | sistpoty: that seems like a mabye to much for one wiki page ;-) | 03:17 |
| sistpoty | LaserJock: yep... but maybe you could refer to a subpage or s.th. like it ;) | 03:18 |
| Evaso2 | hi guys ii doesn't know if could be useful to monitoring this for MOTU: http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/points.html | 03:18 |
| sistpoty | leonel: yes, they will... but it may last a little longer for bugfixes to arrive than in debian | 03:19 |
| Evaso2 | new debian packages often are not uploaded to unstable untill some of this higghest transitions in testing are solved | 03:19 |
| Evaso2 | so if debian unstable is your source this is a good page to mintoring where help and patch are needed | 03:20 |
| leonel | sistpoty, so ... let's say is safer than debian ? | 03:21 |
| leonel | sistpoty, how the updates get to universe ? | 03:22 |
| sistpoty | leonel: usually updates get from debian to universe, so I'd consider debian safer than universe | 03:24 |
| sistpoty | leonel: main however has its own security team, so I don't think this will apply for main | 03:24 |
| sistpoty | +packages | 03:24 |
| leonel | sistpoty, if there's a bug and debian does nothing about it ubuntu universe either ? | 03:25 |
| sistpoty | leonel: if we know about it and can fix it, we fix it | 03:26 |
| === seth_k [n=seth@asmallorange.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Evaso2 | leonel: the bug could be reported in the launchpad and could be fixed in ubuntu by the motu team | 03:26 |
| Evaso2 | or the fix could be merged from debian | 03:26 |
| Evaso2 | leonel: depend if we are in a stable or in a development distribution | 03:27 |
| sistpoty | leonel: the reason I'd consider debian more secure than unstable is, that they have (much) more manpower than we have | 03:27 |
| sistpoty | s/unstable/universe | 03:27 |
| leonel | I want to migrate from debian to ubuntu but I need packages in debian that are in ubuntu in universe and need php4 and squirrelmail among others that are in universe that's why this questions | 03:28 |
| dholbach | doesnt packages.ubuntu.com know? | 03:29 |
| Amaranth | security in main is a one man operation, how many people are actively working on it in universe? | 03:30 |
| sistpoty | leonel: php4/squirrelmail are the exact same packages in universe and in debian(unstable)... so I guess a security fix if in debian would make it really fast to universe | 03:30 |
| leonel | so basically with universe we depend on debian | 03:31 |
| leonel | for security updates | 03:31 |
| leonel | ? | 03:31 |
| dholbach | Amaranth: pitti does bits of it too, sometimes one of us realizes, that we need to get a fix from debian - it's no coherent team yet - want to work in the team too? | 03:32 |
| Evaso2 | leonel: remember that packages in unstable go to testing after the grace period and has no rc bugs | 03:32 |
| Amaranth | dholbach: I don't even have time to work on alacarte anymore. ;/ | 03:32 |
| Amaranth | err, :/ | 03:32 |
| Evaso2 | leonel: and testing has security support | 03:32 |
| Evaso2 | leonel: not only stable | 03:32 |
| sistpoty | leonel: because debian has more manpower, it's more likely that they solve the problem in the first place. but we still can do security updates on are own | 03:33 |
| sistpoty | s/on are own/on our own/ | 03:33 |
| leonel | sistpoty, Evaso2 thanks for making me clear how we are with ubuntu universe and security | 03:34 |
| sistpoty | you're welcome | 03:34 |

| dholbach | popcon.ubuntu.com | 03:36 |

| jsgotangco | hey whiprush | 03:48 |
| ajmitch | Kamion's suggestion for title - "a guide to the guts of the Debian packaging toolchain" | 03:48 |
| whiprush | that sound right? | 03:48 |
| jsgotangco | are you still in the army? | 03:48 |
| whiprush | hi jerome! | 03:48 |
| whiprush | ajmitch: oh, GUTS. good word. | 03:49 |
| whiprush | jsgotangco: not since 4 years. | 03:49 |
| whiprush | jsgotangco: My dad scanned a bunch of old pics so I flickr'ed them | 03:49 |
| jsgotangco | ahhh | 03:50 |
| jsgotangco | that's why you looked so buff there | 03:50 |
| whiprush | jsgotangco: I was very skinny at one point. | 03:50 |
| whiprush | now I'm just a chunky blogger who fanbois ajmitch. | 03:50 |
| ajmitch | hah | 03:50 |
| whiprush | Andrew Mitchell (ajmitch) will be chairing the session "Packaging without debhelper and/or CDBS". Andrew is a Debian Developer and MOTU, and will be focusing on the raw guts of the Debian packaging toolchain. The intent is to give participants a deeper understanding of packaging techniques to further educate the pool of budding Ubuntu developers. | 03:52 |
| === ajmitch won't have any fans after this weekend ;) | ||
| whiprush | better? | 03:52 |
| ajmitch | not quite as raw as packaging without dpkg-dev | 03:52 |
| jsgotangco | hehe | 03:52 |
| ajmitch | but looks reasonable I guess | 03:52 |
| whiprush | don't worry, it'll run thru jdub. | 03:52 |
| whiprush | he can add spice. :) | 03:53 |
| ajmitch | hah | 03:53 |
| mhz | \sh_away: ajmitch: MOTU-school has been wikied http://wiki.edubuntu.org/MOTU/News | 03:54 |
| jsgotangco | wow the KoreanTeam wiki is full of activity at the moment | 04:01 |
| whiprush | jsgotangco: heh | 04:01 |
| whiprush | remember when you could follow everything in the ubuntu universe in 20 minutes? | 04:01 |
| jsgotangco | i guess i did make an impression | 04:01 |
| whiprush | did you speak there? | 04:02 |
| jsgotangco | heh you don't read planet! | 04:02 |
| whiprush | it was down today | 04:02 |
| ajmitch | mhz: if you're going to link to my wiki page, I guess I'd better update it | 04:02 |
| === whiprush catches up | ||
| jsgotangco | whiprush: i stayed there for 4 days and represented ubuntu along with other speakers from Xandros and Mozilla | 04:03 |
| === SEJeff [n=SEJeff@12-222-183-136.client.insightBB.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ajmitch | whiprush: dude, jerome is an international speaker | 04:03 |
| jsgotangco | whiprush: you will like the public phone terminal picture | 04:03 |
| ajmitch | you should fanboi him on the fridge | 04:03 |
| jsgotangco | ajmitch: :P | 04:03 |
| ajmitch | it's great being in the presence of celebrities :) | 04:05 |
| whiprush | jsgotangco: WOW! | 04:06 |
| whiprush | that's awesome | 04:06 |
| whiprush | I'm blogging about razors and you're like, hanging out with Asa. | 04:06 |
| whiprush | that's awesome! | 04:06 |
| ajmitch | haha | 04:07 |
| jsgotangco | whiprush: Asa is like a saner jdub heh | 04:07 |
| whiprush | I've not met him. | 04:07 |
| whiprush | He got me into open source though. | 04:07 |
| === ajmitch will get his chance to hand around greatness at LCA in jan | ||
| ajmitch | jsgotangco: booked your LCA tickets? | 04:07 |
| whiprush | Back around mozilla milestone 12 or something, he like, explained oss to me, been with it ever since. | 04:07 |
| jsgotangco | ajmitch: well i'm going back to brisbane next week so i'll check | 04:08 |
| ajmitch | jsgotangco: you might still be able to get a direct brisbane->dunedin flight | 04:08 |
| whiprush | jsgotangco: man, that's so awesome. | 04:08 |
| jsgotangco | whiprush: business class is awesome man | 04:08 |
| ajmitch | and you would notice the temperature drop :) | 04:08 |
| whiprush | heh. | 04:08 |
| ajmitch | 'come to LCA & hear sabdfl speak' | 04:09 |
| whiprush | jsgotangco: I envy you, I wish I could do more ubuntu talks. | 04:10 |
| jsgotangco | whiprush: yeah but he hinted he wants to work with ubuntu really... | 04:10 |
| whiprush | that's excellent. | 04:11 |
| jsgotangco | it was from asa i learned more about the mozilla branding thing... | 04:11 |
| === uniq [n=frode@213.184.199.55] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| jsgotangco | and why we had such a crummy logo for firefox... | 04:11 |
| whiprush | heh, yeah | 04:11 |
| ajmitch | and why our patched, slow, broken firefox doesn't have the mozilla name? | 04:12 |
| jsgotangco | asa's got a big job to do in korea, that country is like 90% IE country | 04:12 |
| jsgotangco | good thing there is a big local mozilla community | 04:13 |
| whiprush | did you have lots of people asking questions after your talk? | 04:14 |
| jsgotangco | people? heck we had the korean IT press! | 04:14 |
| jsgotangco | heh | 04:14 |
| whiprush | you're the man. | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | but yeah, the language barrier was so hard to overcome though | 04:15 |
| whiprush | I can imagine. | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | we were told that the gov't would file an antitrust suit anytime | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | sure enough they did yesterday | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | against MS | 04:15 |
| whiprush | heh. | 04:16 |
| === ajmitch so needs jsgotangco's autograph :) | ||
| jsgotangco | oh stop it | 04:16 |

| bmonty | hi minghua | 05:52 |
| minghua | hello bmonty | 05:52 |
| bmonty | minghua: stardict has been synced and built on all arches | 05:53 |
| minghua | bmonty: great, thanks for checking | 05:53 |
| minghua | bmonty: I'm going to close the bug | 05:53 |
| bmonty | minghua: yeah, thats why I was telling you :) | 05:54 |
| minghua | :-) | 05:54 |
| === minghua noticed that scim got built on all arches as well | ||
| ajmitch | yay,n ew printer on the home network to try & get working | 05:56 |
| bmonty | laser? | 05:56 |
| ajmitch | yeah | 05:57 |
| ajmitch | plugge into an apple AP | 05:57 |
| bmonty | nice, I want to get a laser for the house | 05:57 |
| LaserJock | hi minghua and bmonty | 05:57 |
| bmonty | I get used to the lasers at work and then I have to print something on my POS inkjet | 05:57 |
| bmonty | hi LaserJock | 05:57 |
| LaserJock | bmonty: I was lucky enough to convince my advisor to get a color laser for the lab | 05:58 |
| Amaranth | how do i mark someone that i am requesting a specific person to come to the next CC meeting? | 05:58 |
| Amaranth | just put it on the wiki and contact them so everyone knows? | 05:58 |
| Amaranth | err, mark somewhere | 05:58 |
| bmonty | LaserJock: color lasers are a love/hate relationship :) | 05:58 |
| minghua | hi LaserJock | 05:59 |
| LaserJock | bmonty: it's sure nice for posters and presentations | 05:59 |
| bmonty | they make nice printouts, but they kick you in the ass to buy cartridges and fuser kits and etc | 05:59 |
| LaserJock | bmonty: that's what NSF is for ;-) | 05:59 |
| bmonty | my office has an older HP color laser that takes about 30 mins to warm up for the first printout in the morning | 05:59 |
| Amaranth | this is why i have a B&W laser and buy a new ink-jet everytime it's ink runs out | 05:59 |
| Amaranth | because a new ink-jet printer with ink is cheaper than ink | 06:00 |
| LaserJock | lol | 06:00 |
| bmonty | of course my boss forgets that and sends jobs that he needs for his meeting in 15 mins and is upset that the printer has been "Calibrating" for 10 :) | 06:00 |
| LaserJock | bmonty: we had one of those down the hall and we didn't have a key so we had to ask the boss every time we needed to print something | 06:01 |
| StevenK | bmonty: HP LaserJet, right? | 06:05 |
| bmonty | StevenK: yeah | 06:05 |
| LaserJock | StevenK: right | 06:06 |
| === StevenK fondly remembers the HP Colour LaserJet 4550 work used to have. | ||
| ajmitch | StevenK: slides built fine :) | 06:06 |
| StevenK | Whee | 06:06 |
| ajmitch | sorry about the delay in asking for sync | 06:06 |
| LaserJock | StevenK: yeah, I think that might of been what we had | 06:06 |
| StevenK | ajmitch: So, my u.c e-mail doesn't work yet. When you say sign the CoC, do you mean GPG sign and upload to LP? | 06:06 |
| StevenK | ajmitch: It's cool. I haven't done any merges since the CC and feel guilty. | 06:07 |
| ajmitch | StevenK: yes, sign & upload | 06:07 |
| LaserJock | StevenK: I don't think mine is working yet either | 06:07 |
| LaserJock | StevenK: Kyral too I think | 06:07 |
| ajmitch | elmo is the one to bug if you're feeling brave | 06:08 |
| ajmitch | StevenK: ah, you've been doing far more than some of us have :) | 06:08 |
| === StevenK denies everything. | ||
| === ajmitch should hang up his gpg keys & relax | ||
| StevenK | I'm wondering if my adding a Files section to my xorg config will fix my emacs problems. | 06:09 |
| StevenK | But I can't find out until I go home. | 06:10 |
| === minghua still uses the HP color LaserJet 4550 in the department office | ||
| StevenK | minghua: We uhh, dropped ours while we were moving offices. | 06:10 |
| StevenK | For about 6 months, there was a big stain of blue toner on the concrete in front of our door. | 06:10 |
| ajmitch | hehe | 06:10 |
| LaserJock | StevenK: ours just died with blue toner all over | 06:11 |
| LaserJock | StevenK: I wonder if it is a common thing | 06:11 |
| === StevenK relaxes, as the box he killed this morning has been replaced. | ||
| minghua | poor printer :-( | 06:11 |
| ajmitch | what do people think, should I update checkinstall to close some bugs? ;) | 06:12 |
| LaserJock | we got a 2550 in our lab now so I'm happy | 06:12 |
| StevenK | Stressful twenty minutes with two boxes open in front of me, swapping over all manner of hardware. | 06:12 |
| StevenK | We bought a Xerox color printer. Huge thing. | 06:12 |
| minghua | ajmitch: I am actually glad that checkinstall is not working in dapper ;-) | 06:12 |
| ajmitch | StevenK: you killed a box? | 06:12 |
| StevenK | ajmitch: I bumped the desk it was on, and it powered down, and refused to power back up. | 06:13 |
| ajmitch | ah | 06:13 |
| ajmitch | I've seen worse | 06:13 |
| StevenK | So yes, "killed". :-) | 06:13 |
| ajmitch | such as being able to smell the smoke from the box 3 days later :) | 06:13 |
| ajmitch | the box did still work | 06:13 |
| ajmitch | but the ISA slot was melted | 06:13 |
| StevenK | ajmitch: I remember going to pull the power cord out of a power supply and seen sparks... | 06:13 |
| LaserJock | to bad azeem isn't awake. I'm using ghemical a ton today. | 06:13 |
| ajmitch | sparks are fun | 06:14 |
| StevenK | At that point I hit the deck and ripped out the power cord from the wall. | 06:14 |
| === ajmitch recall waking up at 3amone morning last year to have a monitor nearly go on fire | ||
| StevenK | Wheee. | 06:14 |
| ajmitch | it was on my desk, in my bedroom | 06:14 |
| ajmitch | I was given it because it was a bit broken :) | 06:14 |
| StevenK | I've had that happen yet. I've zapped a montior and seen it lose its special smoke. | 06:14 |
| StevenK | s/\(I've\)/\1 not/ | 06:15 |
| === ajmitch had to borrow a bigger monitor to replace it | ||
| LaserJock | once when I was a kid my brother and I tryed to plug a 12V motor into a wall socket. That was fun :-) | 06:15 |
| ajmitch | currently using the 21" crt | 06:15 |
| === StevenK is sitting in front of a 17" LCD. | ||
| StevenK | Niiiice monitor. | 06:15 |
| === TheMuso hopes to replace his 21 CRT with a 21 LCD when they are more affordable. | ||
| ajmitch | I was pricing up a dual-DVI card & 2 LCD panels | 06:16 |
| StevenK | I'm hoping to replace my Dual Athlon with an AMD64 soon. | 06:16 |
| === ajmitch has to make do with a 21 & 17" CRT | ||
| StevenK | I only have a 17" CRT at home. | 06:16 |
| === ajmitch just has an athlon 1800+ XP | ||
| ajmitch | almost fast enough to compile stuff on :) | 06:17 |
| StevenK | ajmitch: I don't think that is fast enough for OpenOffice. :-P | 06:17 |
| ajmitch | it barely is | 06:18 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: my ubuntu box is a 1800+ XP. I do all my pbuilder on it | 06:18 |
| ajmitch | I need more than my 1GB of RAM for OOo2 | 06:18 |
| StevenK | Mmmm, dual Athlon with a 1Gb of RAM. | 06:18 |
| Kyral | My friend is getting me a deal on one of those nice Sun monitors | 06:19 |
| StevenK | I still love how my video card has more RAM than my first desktop. | 06:19 |
| StevenK | (24Mb vs 128Mb) | 06:19 |
| Kyral | I still love how my GBA has more computing power than the first Apollo mission | 06:20 |
| StevenK | Muahahaha | 06:20 |
| jsgotangco | hahaha | 06:20 |
| LaserJock | StevenK: yeah, I think the first computer I had had 4 Mb memory and a 120 MB hard drive | 06:20 |
| StevenK | My first machine was a TRS-80. :-) | 06:20 |
| StevenK | With a whole 64Kb! | 06:20 |
| ajmitch | I love how my video card has more RAM than my first computer I was using had hard drive space | 06:20 |
| === bmonty had a Apple IIe | ||
| ajmitch | the first one I used regularly was a 286 | 06:21 |
| === jsgotangco had a trs-80 too..the portable one | ||
| jsgotangco | with the 4 liner display | 06:21 |
| StevenK | Mmm, my first regular machine was an XT. | 06:21 |
| StevenK | Followed by a 386SX when it died. | 06:21 |
| ajmitch | I think I've still got a working 386SX in the cupboard here | 06:22 |
| ajmitch | & a 486 which I put minix on :) | 06:22 |
| TheMuso | Our first machine was a 486 DX33 with 8MB RAM. | 06:22 |
| minghua | So ubuntu is going to keep the name of OO.o2? | 06:22 |
| ajmitch | minghua: hm? why wouldn't it? | 06:22 |
| ajmitch | I didn't hear of trademark issues with that | 06:22 |
| StevenK | Firefox has trademark issues? | 06:23 |
| minghua | ajmitch: just don't like to see the name differs with debian | 06:23 |
| ajmitch | yes | 06:23 |
| StevenK | So, Iceweasel it is, then. | 06:23 |
| minghua | ajmitch: no, didn't mean that | 06:23 |
| ajmitch | haha | 06:23 |
| ajmitch | I think we can use 'firefox' | 06:23 |
| ajmitch | but not mozilla firefox | 06:23 |
| minghua | so, it's going to be like, debian firefox, ubuntu firefox, etc.? | 06:24 |
| ajmitch | no, just firefox | 06:24 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: minix was the first *nix I ever tried. I installed it on my parents old 386 | 06:28 |
| Kyral | I think I have a 286 in the attic | 06:28 |
| Kyral | like 4 MB of HD space | 06:28 |
| ajmitch | I think the very least that ubuntu will run on is 486DX | 06:29 |
| ajmitch | it might work on an SX, I can't recall | 06:29 |
| Kyral | I wonder if I can put PTYLinux on it | 06:29 |
| === bmonty hates trying to find places that will recycle his old hardware | ||
| LaserJock | yeah our university charges $35 USD to dispose of old computers | 06:31 |
| bmonty | thats steep...the place I found charges $0.30/lb | 06:32 |
| LaserJock | bmonty: course we are going to have to start paying for disposal of a lot of chemicals because of EPA and OSHA | 06:33 |
| LaserJock | I guess you can't just find a nice Nevada desert to dump in anymore ;-) | 06:34 |
| bmonty | LaserJock: at least your sink drains will stay clean! | 06:35 |
| LaserJock | bmonty: I don't know. It's amazing what a bunch of Pirahna acid will clean off ;-) | 06:36 |
| Kyral | goodnight MOTU! | 06:37 |
| bmonty | night Kyral | 06:37 |
| LaserJock | cya Kyral even though I'm not a MOTU | 06:37 |
| minghua | Hmm, who was I talking to about the autotools-dev dependency and dh-make issue? | 06:37 |
| minghua | I think it was sirehart | 06:37 |
| Kyral | LaserJock: you will be soon enough my friend :D | 06:38 |
| bmonty | time for me to hit the rack as well...night all | 06:38 |
| minghua | there is a nice conversation on debian-mentors right now | 06:38 |
| LaserJock | Kyral: you probably will be before me | 06:38 |
| minghua | good night bmonty | 06:38 |
| LaserJock | cya bmonty have a good sleep | 06:38 |

| ajmitch | man | 09:52 |
| ajmitch | there seems to be a few people interested in this MOTU school | 09:52 |
| ajmitch | lots of people who we haven't seen around the motu channels | 09:52 |
| TheMuso | I am also interested, however the time that it is going to happen doesn't suit me. I will read up on it afterwards. | 09:52 |
| === jsgotangco fanbois the next he-man ajmitch | ||
| === ajmitch was hoping for a ncie small gathering | ||
| TheMuso | I have learnt a fair bit just by reading package metadata files anyway. | 09:52 |
| ajmitch | TheMuso: why doesn't it suit? | 09:53 |
| ajmitch | too early? | 09:53 |
| TheMuso | Too early in the morning, and I am going out the night before anyways. | 09:53 |
| zakame | will hopefully be there | 09:53 |

| shawarma | I'm just catching up on the ubuntu-devel mailinglist and just found an e-mail from Seveas saying that the MOTU's soon will start nominating people instead of having people apply to become MOTU's. When is "soon" and how does this nomination thing work? Should one ask to be nominated or will it just happen when you least expect it? | 09:53 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: rock! | 09:53 |
| TheMuso | YOu guys are 2 hours in front of us aren't you? | 09:53 |
| jsgotangco | scholl sucks! | 09:53 |
| === dholbach had a meeting a 3am | ||
| === dholbach needs his coffee | ||
| ajmitch | shawarma: it's not so much picking people at random | 09:54 |
| TheMuso | dholbach: Yeah well I have the a11y team meetings at 1:30AM. | 09:54 |
| ajmitch | you still apply yourself | 09:54 |
| dholbach | TheMuso: we should rotate times | 09:54 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: But to the motu team instead of tb? | 09:54 |
| ajmitch | but we have to vouch for you | 09:54 |
| zakame | dholbach: w00t! | 09:54 |
| ajmitch | shawarma: no, you'd probably just ask around if you're ready for MOTU, and get support for the TB meeting | 09:54 |
| TheMuso | dholbach: I will make a note to bring it up when the next meeting time/date is discussed on list. | 09:55 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: Oh, right. | 09:55 |
| zakame | er TB gets to vote, but iiuc MOTU nominates :) | 09:55 |
| dholbach | i think that's a good idea | 09:55 |
| ajmitch | shawarma: we're just trying to stop random people who nobody knows from joining up | 09:55 |
| jsgotangco | wooo \sh blog on a roll again | 09:55 |
| dholbach | maybe we should have short meetings before the TB, where everybody could have his say on the motu wannabes | 09:55 |
| dholbach | so we cover people who have worked with them | 09:55 |
| TheMuso | ajmitch: Understandably. One has to work up the ladder of privelages in terms of packaging uploads. | 09:55 |
| ajmitch | TheMuso: we don't want to waste the TB's time | 09:56 |
| ajmitch | which is what can happen | 09:56 |
| TheMuso | Yeah that too. | 09:56 |
| dholbach | and if one of us says, come on, better wait another two weeks, we should respect that | 09:56 |
| shawarma | I see. Well then, am I ready for MOTU? | 09:56 |
| ajmitch | we can often see when people are not quite there yet | 09:56 |
| dholbach | shawarma: that's something we should discuss (as a team) as i said | 09:56 |
| ajmitch | shawarma: do you think you are? | 09:56 |
| dholbach | shawarma: i didn't work particularly much with you to be honest | 09:57 |
| ajmitch | do you feel that you could do uploads to universe unsuprevised, without breaking things? :) | 09:57 |
| ajmitch | neither did I | 09:57 |
| ajmitch | which is why we need wider feedback as the team grows | 09:57 |
| ajmitch | I think I've seen a couple of debdiffs from you | 09:58 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: I think I could. I'm not too proud to ask around if I | 09:58 |
| shawarma | whoops | 09:58 |
| dholbach | we should implement that as a process | 09:58 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: I think I could. I'm not too proud to ask around if I'm in doubt about anything. | 09:58 |
| dholbach | meet before the tb meeting, talk about our motu wannabes | 09:58 |
| zakame | hm what's a nifty name for a MOTU Java Team? :) | 09:58 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: mailing list or irc? | 09:58 |
| TheMuso | zakame: JMOTU? | 09:58 |
| lifeless | Mo'JAVA | 09:58 |
| dholbach | maybe irc is more homely | 09:58 |
| ajmitch | we have a good spread of timezones as well :) | 09:58 |
| TheMuso | Java Masters Of The Universe | 09:58 |
| jsgotangco | Java Motu | 09:58 |
| ajmitch | evening lifeless | 09:59 |
| lifeless | ola | 09:59 |
| === jsgotangco creates Ruby MOTU | ||
| jsgotangco | oh wait | 09:59 |
| jsgotangco | there's already one | 09:59 |
| ajmitch | lifeless: getting nice & warm over there now? | 09:59 |
| zakame | Er I picked "MOTU Java Growers" :) | 09:59 |
| dholbach | get all cracking in motu media and motu security :) | 09:59 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: Most of my questions these days are about how to do stuff because I'm not a MOTU. I'm pretty comfortable with most of the technical stuff. | 09:59 |
| zakame | hi lifeless :) | 09:59 |
| lifeless | boiling as a dead crackmonkey in an acid pit | 10:00 |
| lifeless | zakame: hey | 10:00 |
| ajmitch | lifeless: yeah, I'm glad to still be in dunedin | 10:00 |
| === TheMuso agrees with lifeless. Yesterday was a scorcher. | ||
| ajmitch | and it's warm enough here for me | 10:00 |
| jsgotangco | 35C up? | 10:00 |
| ajmitch | shawarma: what sort of questions? | 10:00 |
| lifeless | jsgotangco: up | 10:00 |
| jsgotangco | ugghhhh | 10:00 |
| zakame | awww | 10:00 |
| ajmitch | 40+ now? | 10:00 |
| jsgotangco | damn | 10:01 |
| ajmitch | jsgotangco: brisbane will be hotter | 10:01 |
| TheMuso | Not necessarily. | 10:01 |
| jsgotangco | ajmitch: please nooo.... | 10:01 |
| === jsgotangco is flying to brisbane next week | ||
| shawarma | ajmitch: Who to ask to do syncing, what to include in by debdiffs for merges.. That kind of stuff. a MOTU would just ask elmo to sync, and just apply the debdiff and upload.. That kind of thing. | 10:01 |
| ajmitch | TheMuso: I've only been there once, but I thought it was consistently quite warm? | 10:02 |
| dholbach | shawarma: how long are you with the motu team for now? | 10:02 |
| === dholbach can't really teall | ||
| dholbach | shawarma: how many uploads did you get sponsored? | 10:02 |
| shawarma | dholbach: On and off for.. 4-5 months. | 10:02 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: quite awhile | 10:03 |
| TheMuso | ajmitch: I don't know, but thats what I have seen in weather reports sometimes. | 10:03 |
| shawarma | dholbach: Dunno. Lost count. | 10:03 |
| ajmitch | I remember him around during breezy | 10:03 |
| dholbach | *nod* me too | 10:03 |
| dholbach | but i wasn't sure | 10:03 |
| ajmitch | shawarma: did you get some sponsored for breezy? | 10:03 |
| dholbach | because, as you said, you were on and off | 10:03 |
| ajmitch | I don't see your name on breezy-changes | 10:03 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: Sure. | 10:03 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: Even one that came up WAY after the freeze. :-) | 10:03 |
| ajmitch | syncs or debdiff uploads with your name? | 10:04 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: The mailing-list? | 10:04 |
| dholbach | which freeze? | 10:04 |
| ajmitch | I'm just trying to look | 10:04 |
| ajmitch | yes | 10:04 |
| shawarma | dholbach: Er... Don't remember what it was called.. There was a freeze at some point that was supposed to mean that no new source should enter breezy. | 10:04 |
| ajmitch | you'll want to link to those uploads on your wiki page if possible | 10:04 |
| ajmitch | UVF | 10:05 |
| dholbach | ah i see | 10:05 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: That sounds right. | 10:05 |
| dholbach | ajmitch: good idea | 10:05 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: No, I'm not on the mailing-list right now. I used the web interface. | 10:05 |
| dholbach | web interface? | 10:05 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: I will. | 10:05 |
| dholbach | for reading mails? | 10:05 |
| ajmitch | shawarma: I'm not saying about subscribing | 10:06 |
| ajmitch | I'm talking about uploads | 10:06 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: Oh, right. | 10:06 |
| ajmitch | I only see 1 with your name on it | 10:06 |
| zakame | er is it just me or is ftp.uk.debian.org down? | 10:06 |
| ajmitch | for dapper | 10:06 |
| ajmitch | & none for breezy | 10:06 |
| shawarma | dholbach: For certain mailing lists. I'm behind a satanic firewall, so reading actual e-mail is not always too easy. | 10:06 |
| dholbach | i see | 10:06 |
| dholbach | shawarma: but ajmitch had a good idea: link to the uploads you did and everybody's happy | 10:07 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: I was added to the white list only about a month ago. | 10:07 |
| dholbach | shawarma: do you have something on REVU? | 10:07 |
| ajmitch | shawarma: debdiffs weren't under your name? | 10:07 |
| shawarma | dholbach: Sure. look for sh@warma.dk og sh@linux2go.dk | 10:07 |
| dholbach | shawarma: no YOU list them on a wiki page :) | 10:07 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: The changelog was, but not necessarily the debdiff. | 10:07 |
| ajmitch | shawarma: ok, you'll need to hunt them out | 10:07 |
| shawarma | dholbach: Oh, I thought you wanted to see them to look at the quality.. | 10:07 |
| dholbach | oh ok | 10:08 |
| dholbach | sorry | 10:08 |
| dholbach | yes | 10:08 |
| dholbach | cool | 10:08 |
| dholbach | i'll look at them at REVU day | 10:08 |
| dholbach | then i'll get more of an overview | 10:08 |
| === ajmitch quickly runs grepmail to try & find some | ||
| minghua | anybody seen warnings like this: "dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: format of liboctave.so not recognized"? | 10:08 |
| shawarma | I don't mind too much if I'm not a MOTU. I just think I'll be of more use that way. | 10:08 |
| zakame | minghua: er something wrogn with the shlibs.local file? | 10:09 |
| dholbach | shawarma: we all do and we DO mind | 10:09 |
| dholbach | shawarma: it's just hard for me to say yes, when i didn't work much with you, you know? | 10:09 |
| shawarma | dholbach: Sure, sure. | 10:09 |
| dholbach | shawarma: but i'll review your packages on REVU at the weekend | 10:09 |
| shawarma | shawarma: It wouldn't be a proper review process if I weren't reviewed. :-D | 10:10 |
| === ajmitch still only spots about 5 or so uploads which mention your email address or name | ||
| ajmitch | on breezy-changes, that is | 10:10 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: That's possible. Sometimes I just upload a bugfix to bugzilla without changelog changes. | 10:10 |
| ajmitch | link to those if possible | 10:11 |
| ajmitch | you need to have evidence of work done to convince the TB (and MOTUs) | 10:11 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: I'm not saying that I did huge amounts of uploads or anything.. I did a few, I want to do more, and I just want to help out the best and most efficient way I can. | 10:11 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: Yeah. I'll update my wiki real soon. | 10:11 |
| ajmitch | for upload rights you generally need to have a few uploads sponsored so that we can guage quality | 10:12 |
| shawarma | and I can totally understand if you guys want to see more of my stuff before granting me direct acces to the repo. | 10:12 |
| ajmitch | probably a good idea to get a few more done | 10:13 |
| minghua | zakame: Hmm, there doesn't seem to be a shlibs.local file, will investigate further | 10:13 |
| ajmitch | the TB are stricter than we are :) | 10:13 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: and so they should! :-) | 10:13 |
| zakame | minghua: er I think that's auto-generated... is there an existing shlibs file as well? | 10:14 |
| ajmitch | well, we should try & be as strict as the TB | 10:14 |
| ajmitch | to avoid disappointing people at the TB stage | 10:14 |
| dholbach | shawarma: you'll become a MOTU | 10:14 |
| shawarma | dholbach: I agree. I'm just wondering if there'll be any point in applying this time (I think there's a TB meeting next week) or if I should rather wait a while.. | 10:15 |
| shawarma | dholbach: But take a look on REVU day and let me know. | 10:16 |
| minghua | zakame: no, this is octave2.1 source package, I believe it builds liboctave.so | 10:16 |
| dholbach | shawarma: yeah | 10:17 |
| minghua | zakame: it's not in /usr/lib though, just in /usr/lib/octave-2.1.72/ | 10:17 |
| dholbach | minghua: do you build shlibs anywhere? | 10:17 |
| minghua | zakame: so maybe just a missing -X option in dh_makeshlibs | 10:17 |
| zakame | minghua: hm, probably so | 10:18 |
| zakame | have you tried that? | 10:18 |
| minghua | no, the warning is dh_shlibdeps, not dh_makeshlibs | 10:18 |
| minghua | zakame: not yet, it takes 2 hours to build.... | 10:18 |
| zakame | whoa | 10:19 |
| zakame | more than it takes me to compile the kernel :( | 10:19 |
| minghua | dholbach: I think no, no shlibs file at all | 10:21 |
| dholbach | minghua: maybe it's a reminder to split-that-damn-library-out! :) | 10:22 |
| === minghua coughs | ||
| zakame | hehe | 10:22 |
| shawarma | minghua: I've seen that error before.. | 10:23 |
| minghua | liboctave.so.2.1.72: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped | 10:24 |
| shawarma | minghua: I've done a little digging and it seems that you'd get it if the .soin question doesn't have a soname defined.. | 10:24 |
| ajmitch | zakame: haha, I love your team description :) | 10:24 |
| minghua | so it seems the shared library is not that bad | 10:24 |
| minghua | shawarma: thanks for the pointer | 10:24 |

| shawarma | shawarma: The error comes from dpkg-shlibdeps.pl in the dpkg distribution. It's quite cryptic to me, but it seems to have something to do with the NEEDED headers.. | 10:33 |

| zakame | ajmitch: er I was also thinking of a MOTU Camel Drivers (motuperl ;) | 10:40 |
| ajmitch | haha | 10:40 |
| ajmitch | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTUPython | 10:40 |
| dholbach_ | haha | 10:40 |
| ajmitch | a very small team at the moment for python | 10:40 |
| ajmitch | considering how many python packages we have | 10:40 |
| === zakame really needs to grok python | ||
| ajmitch | although everyone is free to work on them (and they do) | 10:41 |
| zakame | I've got a python question: is eyed3 ok to be built as arch: all, or any? | 10:42 |
| zakame | siretart posed that to me, and I was only following the previous merge of it | 10:42 |
| ajmitch | not knowing the package.. | 10:42 |
| ajmitch | what is it currently? | 10:42 |
| zakame | well, at either case, the package builds well, and works too... its currently at arch: all | 10:43 |
| zakame | though Sid has arch: any | 10:43 |
| ajmitch | arch: all in ubuntu, or debian? | 10:43 |
| ajmitch | right | 10:43 |
| ajmitch | there might be a reason for that | 10:43 |
| zakame | though that wasn't stated in the changelog :( | 10:43 |
| ajmitch | I know I've looked at this before.. | 10:44 |
| ajmitch | I'd set it arch: any just to remove the delta from debian | 10:45 |
| ajmitch | even if it's not right, we can still respect the debian maintainer's choice in such things | 10:46 |
| zakame | yes, that's also my gut feeling too, to minimize the diff | 10:46 |
| zakame | ok, thanks! :D | 10:47 |
| ajmitch | sigh, a 250K merged debdiff | 10:47 |
| ajmitch | nasty | 10:47 |
| ajmitch | it doesn't make sense for it to be so, since the only ubuntu change was to debian/control | 10:48 |
| === ajmitch happily ignores MoM output then :) | ||
| zakame | indeed | 10:48 |
| siretart | morning | 10:49 |
| zakame | hi siretart :D | 10:49 |
| ajmitch | morning siretart | 10:49 |
| siretart | huhu zakame, hi ajmitch | 10:50 |
| ajmitch | great, now I've got a long list of about 60+ merges to do | 10:50 |
| ajmitch | why do I do it? | 10:51 |
| dholbach | DO IT! :) | 10:51 |
| dholbach | just sync them all | 10:51 |
| ajmitch | haha | 10:51 |
| ajmitch | no way | 10:51 |
| dholbach | :-p | 10:51 |
| ajmitch | they need love | 10:51 |
| ajmitch | lots of tender love | 10:51 |
| TheMuso | I still can't understand why some of you take on several dozen merges at one time. | 10:51 |
| ajmitch | TheMuso: because we're gluttons for punishment | 10:51 |
| ajmitch | and it's easier to grab a batch & burn through them quickly | 10:52 |
| TheMuso | Riiiight. | 10:52 |
| TheMuso | Yeah, when you are experienced at it, that makes sense. | 10:52 |
| ajmitch | for zope, you'd need to understand the packaging changes involved | 10:52 |
| ajmitch | since it was switching to zope-common & zope-debhelper | 10:52 |
| ajmitch | only a few of us were silly enough to get involved there back in hoary & breezy | 10:53 |
| azeem | ... | 10:53 |
| ajmitch | hey azeem | 10:53 |
| zakame | hello azeem :D | 10:54 |
| azeem | maybe there was a conclusion, but is it alright to skip the clean: target while preparing a source package? And does dpkg-buildpackage support that? | 10:54 |
| ajmitch | I don't think it's alright, it's mandated in policy isn't it? | 10:55 |
| azeem | I know the buildds run it prior to build: | 10:55 |
| === azeem looks up policy again | ||
| ajmitch | At a minimum, required targets are the ones called by dpkg-buildpackage, namely, clean, binary, binary-arch, binary-indep, and build | 10:55 |
| ajmitch | 4.8 | 10:55 |
| azeem | well, ok | 10:55 |
| azeem | but that just says it has to be present | 10:55 |
| zakame | bbl folks :D | 10:56 |
| azeem | because it is potentionally called by dpkg-buildpackage | 10:56 |
| ajmitch | I guess you could skip it | 10:56 |
| ajmitch | people do call debian/rules binary | 10:56 |
| TheMuso | Cleaning before building is a must IMO, and yeah I am pretty sure it is defined somewhere. :) | 10:56 |
| ajmitch | for some reason | 10:56 |
| azeem | TheMuso: that is fine. I was talking about cleaning before making a source package | 10:56 |
| ajmitch | some packages are hopeless at that | 10:57 |
| TheMuso | Ah ok. | 10:57 |
| azeem | so the config.{guess,sub} updates in clean: don't pollute the .diff.gz | 10:57 |
| ajmitch | the clean target breaks all sorts of things | 10:57 |
| azeem | I think we are moving away from that slowly | 10:57 |
| azeem | frobbing Build-Depends in clean: is outlawed now | 10:57 |
| ajmitch | iirc yada gave me nightmares with that | 10:58 |
| siretart | I rather tend to filterdiff config.{guess,sub} out when reviewing such diffs | 10:58 |
| azeem | s/with that// | 10:58 |
| siretart | yada... brrrrr | 10:58 |
| azeem | isn't it that saner build systems (like CDBS?) revert the config.{sub,guess} update in clean? | 10:59 |
| azeem | and only do it in build: | 10:59 |
| === azeem is not sure | ||
| azeem | anyway, not a big problem | 10:59 |
| ajmitch | yeah, cdbs is fairly sane | 10:59 |

| azeem | dh_make should just include /usr/share/cdbs/1/debhelper.mk by default and be done | 11:00 |

| doko | Daniel T Chen, Andrew Mitchell, Sebastian Droege, Stephan Herrmann, ... | 11:01 |
| siretart | sorry, daniel | 11:01 |
| ajmitch | doko: what did I do? | 11:02 |
| ajmitch | a lot of the ones on dapper changes are syncs | 11:02 |
| ajmitch | and they appear in our names, but are signed by the sync key | 11:02 |
| doko | ahh, ok | 11:03 |
| ajmitch | I'm guessing that's what you're seeing | 11:03 |
| siretart | doko: I uploaded mplayer-skins without -ubuntu suffix, but that was on purpose. I dont expect debian to introduce such a package short to mid-term | 11:04 |
| doko | siretart: IMO that doesn't matter | 11:04 |
| siretart | ok | 11:04 |
| ajmitch | doko: how is your python roadmap looking? | 11:05 |
| doko | ajmitch: look at #u-m | 11:05 |
| ajmitch | -meeting? | 11:06 |
| siretart | when will debian start using python 2.4 as default? quite a lot of diffs are because of that | 11:06 |

| shawarma | I figured out the what the "dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: format of liboctave.so not recognized" error minghua was experiencing is all about, if anyone is interested. | 01:33 |
| crimsun | sure | 01:35 |
| shawarma | As I said it' | 01:35 |
| shawarma | fscking keyboard.. | 01:35 |
| shawarma | As I said it's a perl script spewing it out. | 01:35 |
| shawarma | It checks the NEEDED headers of a library and tries to figure out which versions it needs. | 01:36 |
| shawarma | ..the problem is not, in fact, in liboctave.so, but rather a file which NEEDs it. | 01:36 |
| shawarma | The NEEDED field needs to have a specific format for shlibdeps can figure out which version it is. | 01:36 |
| shawarma | Either it should be libfoo1.4.so or libfoo.so.1.4. | 01:37 |
| shawarma | Er... | 01:37 |
| shawarma | make that libfoo1-4.so or libfoo.so.1.4 | 01:37 |
| === Hirion [n=hirion@83.151.27.239] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| shawarma | However, a .so that it's analysing has a NEEDED liboctave.so header, which it can't verify due to the lack of versioning info. | 01:37 |
| crimsun | yep, needs to be fixed | 01:38 |
| shawarma | So the error does not refer to the format of the file "liboctave.so", but rather the NAME of the file. | 01:38 |
| shawarma | If you see this error during the build of the package containing liboctave, it doesn't really matter, but otherwise it should probably be fixed. | 01:39 |

| slomo | siretart: yes, that's what i feared too :( and i need to find a way out of this conffiles madness | 06:50 |
| siretart | slomo: what are the problems with the approach from the dpkg wiki? | 06:54 |
| === theCore [n=theCore@Toronto-HSE-ppp3715463.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| slomo | siretart: our current package without the conffiles and no removal for them... and we have this conffiles from different packages (i.e. the mplayer-* ones) | 06:55 |
| theCore | is there a list of ubuntu packages up for adoption like the one for debian? | 06:55 |
| siretart | slomo: well, since we Replace them, I have no problems taking the code snipped from dpkg wiki | 06:56 |
| siretart | new mplayer-skins uploaded | 06:57 |
| slomo | siretart: i'll try it later... but i don't think it will work as expected... we'll see :) but please don't upload a new mplayer until this is fixed | 06:57 |
| slomo | siretart: please test in a chroot if the update works flawless now ;) | 06:57 |
| siretart | slomo: I will coordinate with you before uploading in any case | 06:58 |
| siretart | slomo: which conffiles are deprecated at all? it is only /etc/mplayer/codecs.conf, is it? | 06:59 |
| azeem | theCore: Ubuntu has a different maintainership model than Debian. In theory, everbody cares for every package, modulo the main<->universe destinction | 06:59 |
| siretart | theCore: you want to work on a package? great! just do work :) | 07:00 |
| slomo | siretart: deprecated is none of them but they're all simply not needed (only mplayer.conf to get sane output devices) except if the user wants to set some custom options ;) if we want to go the easy way we could just install them again | 07:01 |
| slomo | siretart: they contained the default settings anyway | 07:02 |
| siretart | slomo: so we should just install an updated one | 07:02 |
| theCore | siretart, so, where I can get/put packages to maintain? | 07:03 |
| slomo | siretart: for all of them? ok, i'll do that then in a few minutes | 07:03 |
| siretart | slomo: this seems to be more sane to me. If the user has done local modifications, dpkg will bug him | 07:04 |
| siretart | theCore: in principle, all packages are group maintained. | 07:04 |
| slomo | siretart: ok | 07:04 |
| siretart | theCore: so you don't need to ask if you want to work on a package. But please coordinate in this channel or mailing list to avoid duplicate work | 07:05 |
| theCore | siretart, ok, i'm asking this because I'm currently working on the PackagingGuide, so I need to get some experiences before writing | 07:07 |
| theCore | siretart, we want to make it easy for new maintainers | 07:08 |
| siretart | theCore: great | 07:08 |
| siretart | theCore: but what you are asking is rather about procedures than about packaging | 07:08 |
| siretart | theCore: did you coordinate with Diziet about that? | 07:08 |
| theCore | siretart, Diziet ? | 07:09 |
| siretart | theCore: He is about to write documentation about procedures | 07:09 |
| siretart | theCore: yes, please ask him | 07:09 |
| siretart | theCore: he is in #ubuntu-devel | 07:09 |
| theCore | siretart, thanks | 07:09 |
| dholbach | theCore: LaserJock works on it too | 07:09 |
| dholbach | theCore: and the guys in #ubuntu-doc | 07:09 |
| siretart | and Unforgiven | 07:09 |
| dholbach | seems like a meeting would be appropriate | 07:10 |
| siretart | it is great that there are folks interested in writing docs, but this should definitly get coordinated | 07:10 |
| theCore | dholbach, i work with LaserJock | 07:10 |
| dholbach | cool | 07:10 |

| slomo | dholbach: this list is actually older than -desktop, -motu, etc ;) | 07:22 |
| ogra | dholbach, remember i'll have to handle 1000s of more mails now *g* | 07:22 |

| siretart | theCore: I think the decision at ubz was to take the debian maintainers guide, and strip off everything not applying to ubuntu, which would make the document only half thick as the original | 07:26 |
| siretart | theCore: but I may be wrong | 07:26 |
| siretart | slomo: what do you think about this: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/5517 | 07:26 |
| theCore | siretart, it's not our plans, though | 07:26 |
| siretart | theCore: I see. | 07:26 |
| theCore | siretart, we want to distance ourselves of the DNMG | 07:27 |
| slomo | siretart: definitly not ;) this will remove the mplayer manpage from the mplayer package... what issue do you mean btw? | 07:27 |
| siretart | slomo: oh | 07:28 |
| siretart | mom | 07:28 |
| ogra | theCore, you cant, lots of the info in there is needed, you can only write it better ... | 07:28 |

| ogra | theCore, but i know Diziet, it would be cool if you guys could work with him, else we'll just have a ubuntu NMG | 07:30 |
| slomo | siretart: ok, i'll take a look at it :) (hmm, feels weird to work on xine and mplayer at the same time ;) ) | 07:30 |
| theCore | ogra, and that we don't want | 07:30 |

| siretart | ogra: the plan was rather to document procedures, than packaging issues. at UBZ we talked rather about an Ubuntu Developers Reference | 07:31 |
| ogra | uh, db_get not found ? | 07:31 |
| theCore | ogra, and that is what we don't want * | 07:31 |
| ogra | theCore, yes ... | 07:31 |
| JohnnyMast | yeah that was what i fixed | 07:31 |
| JohnnyMast | (the bug it fix) | 07:31 |
| JohnnyMast | it was packed with yada | 07:32 |
| ogra | siretart, i just fear a UMNG written by diziet alone ... | 07:32 |
| slomo | siretart: oh, i'll fix it... seems like mencoder finally got it's own manpage and i didn't notice it | 07:32 |
| ogra | *UNMG | 07:32 |
| azeem | JohnnyMast: the version should be -2ubuntu1 if -2 was the last Debian revision, I believe | 07:32 |
| siretart | slomo: so the line in question should be removed? | 07:32 |
| siretart | well, anyway. I'm off for dinner. cu later! | 07:33 |
| theCore | siretart, i regret i didn't go to UBZ, it was so close to me | 07:33 |
| tseng | ogra: that does sound scary | 07:33 |
| slomo | siretart: it will be fixed when you're back :) | 07:33 |
| JohnnyMast | ezeem i dont know, theother version seemed straight from debian | 07:35 |
| JohnnyMast | phpmyadmin (4:2.6.4-pl4-2) unstable; urgency=high | 07:35 |
| ogra | tseng, it might be... i dont know diziets literary skills, but i have some presumption that i wouldnt want to give it my GF if she would wnt to learn packaging ... | 07:35 |
| azeem | JohnnyMast: yes | 07:35 |
| tseng | i think ankurs version is pretty good | 07:35 |
| dholbach | ogra: i believe it'd be very accurate | 07:35 |
| JohnnyMast | so i created -3ubuntu1 (but im not sure about this azeem you could be right) | 07:36 |
| ogra | dholbach, *extremely* accurate,yes | 07:36 |
| dholbach | tseng: when i looked at it, i found some unnecessary steps, like creating pbuilders in chroots | 07:36 |
| tseng | yes that was strange | 07:36 |
| JohnnyMast | but on the other side there was a bug fix as well azeem | 07:36 |
| ogra | dholbach, the most important thing i'd see is that a totally unskilled person understands a bit of packaging afterwards and doesnt put it away in the middle ... | 07:38 |
| dholbach | ogra: there should be two versions, i think | 07:38 |
| dholbach | ogra: the quick guide | 07:38 |
| dholbach | ogra: and the reference | 07:38 |

| LaserJock | ok, I'm back from class, give me a sec to read the log | 07:47 |
| LaserJock | ok, I talked to Diziet about the Developer's Reference | 07:48 |
| theCore | LaserJock, what he said ? | 07:48 |
| LaserJock | theCore: he said that the can be orthogonal docs | 07:48 |
| LaserJock | I view it as the Developer's reference is more policy and the Packaging Guide it mor tutorial | 07:49 |
| theCore | LaserJock, ok, i see | 07:49 |
| ogra | LaserJock++ | 07:49 |
| LaserJock | I don't know how far Diziet has gotten with the Ubuntu Developer Reference but it probably won't be too far from the Debian one | 07:50 |
| LaserJock | So we should be able to look at it and try to minimize overlap | 07:50 |
| theCore | LaserJock, i think, too | 07:51 |
| LaserJock | As for the IntroDeveloperDoc done by Unfrgiven. I have sort of decided to abandon that. I'm not sure yet though. | 07:52 |
| ajmitch | JohnnyMast: please, your fix to #4811 was quite wrong | 07:53 |
| ajmitch | JohnnyMast: you need to understand the evils of yada for that one | 07:53 |
| ajmitch | reverting it back to 0.35 is not good | 07:54 |
| JohnnyMast | ajmitch that i knew, but the db_get was in the wrong place | 07:55 |
| ajmitch | why do you think that? | 07:55 |
| JohnnyMast | because when you comment the line it works fine | 07:56 |
| JohnnyMast | and clean | 07:56 |
| ajmitch | that doesn't mean it's in the wrong place | 07:56 |
| ajmitch | it just means you disabled something to mask the symptoms | 07:56 |
| JohnnyMast | yes thats right | 07:57 |
| selinium | Hi all, ogra.. The URL you posted about building packages, I have been looking to get into doing stuff for the MOTU for sometime and have found it difficult. I have found even though people want to help wannabe's it can be difficult to get going. It looks like this wiki page will help me on my first packaging. The wiki says about make src && make dynamic, but does not explian why? Can you ellaborate? :) | 07:57 |
| ogra | not really, i find this page quite awful ... | 07:59 |
| ogra | i just pasted the link to point out that ubuntu/edubuntu and kubuntu wikis are identical | 08:00 |
| JohnnyMast | ow btw ogra 3) ubuntuforums.org :) | 08:00 |
| JohnnyMast | thats 3 | 08:00 |
| ajmitch | JohnnyMast: you relaiase | 08:00 |
| ajmitch | sorry | 08:00 |
| ogra | their wiki isnt realted to ubuntu | 08:01 |
| ajmitch | wow that was an impressive typo | 08:01 |
| JohnnyMast | lol | 08:01 |
| ajmitch | JohnnyMast: you realise that a rebuild of phpmyadmin with no source changes will fix it? | 08:01 |
| slomo | siretart: uh, i set almost all mplayer bugs to fixed, needinfo or rejected ;) only one is missing now | 08:01 |
| ogra | ajmitch, mine or yours ? | 08:01 |
| ajmitch | and reverting to the older yada is exactly what reintroduces the bug? | 08:01 |
| siretart | slomo: YOU ROCK! | 08:01 |
| ajmitch | I had to do that in breezy because yada could not be updated in main | 08:02 |
| siretart | slomo: the missing one is the manpage thing, is it? | 08:02 |
| ajmitch | ogra: mine | 08:02 |
| ogra | :) | 08:02 |
| ajmitch | ogra: I even hit enter when going for backspace | 08:02 |
| JohnnyMast | ajmitch no i dont | 08:02 |
| slomo | siretart: no, it's fixed... the missing one is a mplayer32 package for amd64... people want to use the w32codecs there ;) | 08:02 |
| shawarma | Any of you guys running dapper in anything but a chroot? | 08:02 |
| siretart | slomo: ah I see | 08:02 |
| ajmitch | shawarma: sure | 08:03 |
| slomo | siretart: can you verify that the w32codecs don't work on amd64 when adding --enable-win32, etc to configure (look at the options for x86 in rules) | 08:03 |
| shawarma | ajmitch: And it's kind of stable right now? | 08:03 |
| slomo | shawarma: sure... works fine here ;) | 08:03 |
| selinium | ogra... OK! So what I would like, as a wannabe, is a walk through. To guide me through my first package. From installing a chroot to the end package. Is there such a page? If not can anyone here put in the time once to save countless questions from wannabes? | 08:03 |
| siretart | slomo: I have an amd64 and would reject that anyway | 08:03 |
| siretart | slomo: w32codecs are way overrated | 08:03 |
| shawarma | slomo: Great. My girlfriend is tired of the ipw2200 driver in breezy, so I'm going to upgrade her laptop's kernel to the one from dapper.. | 08:03 |
| slomo | siretart: sure... but if it works out of the box by just enabling these options for configure we can do it ;) please please test :) | 08:04 |
| ogra | selinium, see the PbuilderHowto for the tools stuff, thats mainly what you need | 08:04 |
| siretart | slomo: sure | 08:04 |
| ogra | apart from dpkg-dev | 08:04 |

| ogra | but note that most of motu work is *not* making packages from scratch | 08:05 |
| ogra | rather touching others packages and fix errors | 08:05 |

| JohnnyMast | lol yep | 08:08 |
| ajmitch | blindly fixing dapper bugs is hard :) | 08:09 |
| ajmitch | since we have to verify the bugs are there | 08:09 |
| selinium | ogra: It is not just about the tools though, without a walkthrough on what to do with a package all I have is installed pbuilder.... If I had the ability to follow a walkthrough on re-packing for Ubuntu I would have the confidence to look at other packages.... and to get more involved. | 08:09 |
| Mithrandir | ajmitch: you can often do that by inspection | 08:09 |

| ajmitch | bbiab | 08:33 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: sorry, but it will be about packaging right? just a specific topic | 08:33 |
| JohnnyMast | its a dh_make lecture right ? | 08:33 |
| JohnnyMast | that will fit selinium`s plans | 08:34 |
| LaserJock | JohnnyMast: i didn't think he was even going to use dh_make | 08:34 |
| Amaranth | it's a dpkg-dev talk :P | 08:36 |
| ajmitch | JohnnyMast: no, definitely not using dh_make | 08:39 |

| ajmitch | most of the people working on them aren't motus | 09:35 |

| ajmitch | merging ;) | 09:36 |
| raphink | hehe | 09:36 |
| ajmitch | making sure that we have the debian changes & relevant ubuntu changes | 09:36 |
| raphink | so I get the current ubuntu source, current debian source | 09:36 |
| ajmitch | knowing what is relevant is key :) | 09:36 |
| raphink | compare them | 09:36 |
| ajmitch | you get the MoM output | 09:36 |

| thierry_ | siretart : could you explain me more in details what's the work for the unmet deps? I mean how can I know if the package just need a rebuild or not... | 10:08 |
| thierry_ | LaserJock : gperiodic, but it's in the education menu... | 10:08 |
| thierry_ | LaserJock : that's the only one I have installed | 10:08 |
| LaserJock | thierry_: I was going to do a bug report at gnome to get a Science menu but the problem is that right now so few the the science packages have .desktop file that there would be only a couple of items in the menu :( | 10:09 |
| thierry_ | LaserJock : then let's create hundreds of .desktop files! :) | 10:10 |

| thierry_ | cool, now if you had the time to show how to nicely create .desktop file (well mainly all the stuff around like dirs, rules and control) I could start right now making .desktop file for all your sciences apps | 10:16 |

| LaserJock | thierry_: ok, I just made a Science menu on my machine and made a .desktop entry | 10:41 |
| siretart | thierry_: currently we defer unmet deps after uvf | 10:41 |
| siretart | thierry_: because we still have some transitions ongoing, so many unmets deps will be fixed as sideeffect | 10:41 |

| ajmitch | upstream version freeze | 10:42 |

| ajmitch | where we don't take in new upstream versions (but was can still make changes) | 10:42 |
| raphink | talking of ? | 10:42 |
| raphink | ok | 10:43 |
| raphink | so it's the version freeze for stable | 10:43 |
| raphink | right? | 10:43 |
| ajmitch | for dapper | 10:43 |

| thierry_ | LaserJock : ok but anyway, when if we get that science menu, we'll have two appearance of each science program in the menu | 10:46 |
| raphink | ajmitch : so in the end of the process there's mostly merges and bug fixing, right? | 10:48 |
| thierry_ | siretart : and what's UVF? | 10:48 |
| ajmitch | raphink: oh yes | 10:48 |
| ajmitch | not merges | 10:48 |
| raphink | ok | 10:48 |
| ajmitch | but lots & lots of bugfixing | 10:48 |
| Hieronym1s | thierry_: upstream version freeze, I think | 10:48 |
| ajmitch | merges is the first part, since it's mostly new upstream versions | 10:48 |
| ajmitch | thierry_: see my explanation above | 10:48 |
| LaserJock | thierry_: right, so I don't know if it better to just put Science and wait until the menu has bee created or what | 10:48 |
| raphink | what is the role of MOTUs in bug fixing? | 10:49 |
| raphink | fixing all universe bugs? | 10:49 |
| siretart | thierry_: UVF = upstream version freeze | 10:49 |
| siretart | mid january, I think\ | 10:49 |
| ajmitch | raphink: sure ;) | 10:49 |
| === raphink tries to imagine all the bugs in the universe to be fixed | ||

| ajmitch | and hopefully most can be fixed in debian | 10:50 |
| raphink | ok | 10:50 |
| raphink | :) | 10:50 |
| thierry_ | LaserJock : well... we have about one month until upstream version freeze to make our change so we'll see if the menu appears in gnome or not... | 10:50 |
| LaserJock | thierry_: I suppose if we just have Science then it can't be any worse than it is now ;-) | 10:51 |
| thierry_ | LaserJock : right, so we put only science? | 10:51 |
| LaserJock | thierry_: if they have educational value then I think it is good to put them in Education, otherwise do Science. | 10:52 |
| LaserJock | thierry_: if you need help telling the difference email the ubuntu-science list an we can debate it :-) | 10:52 |
| thierry_ | LaserJock : no problem :) ... but I'll first try to create a .desktop file and all the stuff around it to work correctly | 10:53 |
| LaserJock | thierry_: right, it's great to have somebody working on that. Keep up the good work | 10:54 |
| thierry_ | LaserJock : thanks... but I would really need someone coaching me about .desktop file and all the stuff around, would you think asking my questions on particular point on the MOTU list would be a poblem? I mean for the MOTU, because it's really newbie questions... | 10:55 |
| LaserJock | thierry_: I would just ask here or just get a hold of me. I got to run some errands right now but I will be back later | 10:56 |

| thierry_ | ajmitch : ok but if I'm running brezzy and that I only want to get the source of dapper, but not configuring my whole apt-get for dapper? | 11:02 |

| Evaso2 | hi i doesn't know if could be helpfull for motu team but there is a list of package not in sync with his upstream version ordered by popcon values. There are also available upstream NEWS/Changelogs when you click on the upstream version number. If anybody would test it could find here: http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/no_updated.html | 11:49 |
| JohnnyMast | popcorn ? | 11:50 |
| JohnnyMast | ow popcon | 11:50 |
| ajmitch | we'd prefer that debian maintainers update the packages themselves :) | 11:50 |
| ajmitch | mainly because it avoids huge duplication | 11:51 |
| Evaso2 | ajmitch: is debian not you upstream? :) | 11:51 |
| ajmitch | Evaso2: yes, which is why I said that | 11:51 |
| ajmitch | we can update the packages if we had time | 11:51 |
| ajmitch | or if there was need | 11:51 |
| Evaso2 | well this are deiban packages in unstable/experimantl not in sync with upstream version and there is also upstream NEWS/Changelog available | 11:52 |
| ajmitch | I know :) | 11:52 |
| === ajmitch also works on debian :) | ||
| Evaso2 | so anybody could know what feautures are not in debian and what upstream bugs are not fixed and so also in motu | 11:54 |
| Evaso2 | motu/universe | 11:54 |
| === ajmitch spots at least 2 packages on there that must have wrong watch files | ||
| Evaso2 | ajmitch: there are many packages that doesn't have good watch file :) fills wishlist bugs to maintainers :) | 11:56 |
| lifeless | morning all | 11:56 |
| ajmitch | 'upstream bugs' being just bugs tagged upstream in debian's BTS | 11:56 |
| ajmitch | hi lifeless | 11:56 |
| ajmitch | how's it going? | 11:56 |
| azeem | Evaso2: how do you know which upstream bugs are fixed in new uploads? | 11:56 |
| azeem | are you just looking at fixed-upstream tags? | 11:56 |
| lifeless | not bad, except I seem to have hayfever/nasal cold. Can't stop sneezing. | 11:57 |
| Evaso2 | ajmitch azzem: i see it in changelog | 11:57 |
| azeem | Evaso2: you check every upstream changelog? | 11:58 |
| Evaso2 | azeem: when you click on upstream version number probably you find bugs fixed in the last upstream version | 11:58 |
| azeem | Evaso2: "probably" | 11:59 |
| Evaso2 | azeem: for example if i'm interestend in lzo package i click on 2.02 version and i see all upstream bug fixed and new features added from 1.08 and 2.02 | 11:59 |
| azeem | oh well | 11:59 |
| azeem | Evaso2: I thought you were talking about Debian bugs fixed upstream, not general upstream bugs | 12:00 |
| Evaso2 | azeem: i mean general upstream bugs (i doesn't know if also are reported to debian maintainer and forwarded to upstream) and new features added that a debian/ubuntu user is missing | 12:01 |
