Amaranthi believe you can ignore those12:20
Amaranthbut lintian -v might tell more12:20
LaserJockzyga: nmu warnings don't apply to Ubuntu, they are for Debian12:20

StevenKAs per usual.12:21

UbugtuMalone bug 36451 in stars "stars - No .desktop file installed" [Minor,Confirmed] 12:21
zygaI hope I did this right12:21
LaserJocksomebody (I can't remember who at the moment) was going to perhaps hack up an Ubuntuized lintian to get rid of that stuff and add some checks for ubuntu specific things12:21
LaserJockzyga: I'm not sure about bumping the Standards-Version even though I know lintian complains about it12:23
minghuaStevenK: hey, linda in dapper still complains about "no suitable .mo file" for everything ;-)12:23
LaserJockI haven't seen linda complain about much of anything other that that :(12:24
minghuazyga: don't user version number 0.12+1-2, use 0.12+1-1ubuntu1 instead12:24
LaserJockdoh, I didn't catch that12:25
ToadZzZztoolLaserJock:  i've got a debdiff that disables lintian nmu checks if y'ou don't specify -D or --debian on the commandline12:25
StevenKminghua: Paul Sladen did that upload.12:25
minghuazyga: and you should set the distribution to dapper instead of unstable (use dch -D dapper)12:25
StevenKminghua: If I had any hope, I'd ask for Linda 0.3.20 to be thrown into dapper.12:25
zygathanks12:26
minghuaStevenK: yes, he tried to fix that, 0.3.17 complains the same thing12:26
minghuaStevenK: but I know you are busy12:26
LaserJockI don't really know what linda does that lintian doesn't?12:26
zygahow come debuild cannot find my private key?12:27
StevenK    - Install .mo files under linda.root instead of under locales. This12:27
StevenK      mainly fixes Linda breaking when localepurge is run. (Closes: #354764)12:27
minghuazyga: and if you bump standard version, mention it in the changelog (I personally won't touch standard version)12:28

Toadstoolwell, I think I can give it a try12:38
Toadstoolthat'll take a little more time than disabling nmu check :)12:47
zygaokay I'm looking after another package - no point to wait12:48
LaserJockzyga: do you know how validate .desktop files?12:50
zygaLaserJock: no but I know their syntax pretty well, I patched/rewrote pyxdg with regards to .desktop files12:51
zygaI probably should have included version marker, right?12:51
LaserJockI'm not very knowledgable so I use "desktop-file-validate"12:52
zygaI'll check it out12:53
zygano bugs thus far12:53
zyganice, I didn't know of this tool12:53
Amaranthit's handy12:54
Amaranthi once ran it over every .desktop on my HD to report bugs12:54
Amaranthbut when i realized i'd have to figured out what package provides what and file seperate bugs for each one i gave up12:54
zygahm12:55
LaserJockAmaranth: wouldn't dpkg -S do that?12:55
Amaranthi suppose with dpkg -S and launchpad's mail interface you could automate it12:55
minghuadpkg -S and apt-cache showsrc should give you the source package name you need12:55
zygaoh a package uses dpach12:57

dolsonhmm, very strange. I just had that same extreme slowdown behaviour, but this time it didn't last nearly as long... I was receiving new mail in Evolution at the time. I tried logging into a virtual console, no go. I switched back to X after a bit, and waited a bit, and the usage is back down to 0%.04:46
dolsonand now, I see spamd listed as a Zombie process in gnome system monitor...04:46
dolsonand my memory + swap usage is still at 100%, with Evolution leading the pack04:49
crimsuncrap, I still need to look at that defaults.{pcm,ctl}.card issue04:54
dolsonI wonder if this is a bug in evolution, evolution-data-server, or spamassain or something else.. it points to one of those three though.. 1GB of RAM and 500MB of swap should not be in use entirely by those 3 apps04:55
crimsunsheesh, this machine only has 512 MB of RAM, and it hits swap pretty consistently with my workload04:57

=== StevenK nods.
ajmitchso I rebuilt the list of unmet deps on my box last night10:55

Tonio_hi ajmitch, Gloubiboulga10:59
siretartStevenK: ajmitch: linda is in main, so you need to bug mdz/Kamion10:59
Tonio_need to get knetworkmanager in main ;) I'm working on the package10:59
ajmitchsiretart: ah, I didn't realise10:59
ajmitchStevenK: see, nothing to send to germany now :)11:00
Tonio_siretart: any idea what is the process to get a NEW package submitted for main directly ?11:01
Tonio_siretart: does it need to go in revu first ?11:01
StevenKajmitch: Just the UK and US. :-)11:01
siretartTonio_: first, get it into universe, and make sure it gets tested and reasonably bug free and supportable for main11:01
siretartTonio_: then write an MainInclusionReport and bug pitti to review it11:02
siretartTonio_: but since we are that late in the release cycle, don't get disappointed if it doesn't make it for dapper11:02
Tonio_siretart: I know chances are little, but as networkmanager 0.6.1 is now in main, and since knetworkmanager can be considered as part of the global work we've done on that....11:03
Tonio_chances are a bit better maybe ;)11:03
ajmitchsiretart: what's the process for getting into universe? mdz hasn't been spotted online so I haven't clarified feature freeze & universe with him11:04
siretartTonio_: in kubuntu, I heard that things are a bit different. convince riddel about that package, and he will talk to Kamion and pitti11:04
siretartajmitch: he said somewhere that he has no objections to new packages in universe. but new packages requiring new dependencies are a nogo11:04
Tonio_siretart: yes, we have a little issue because networkmanager brings some gtk deps11:04
Tonio_siretart: and it is not the purpose of kubuntu to be by default linked to gtk in some way11:05
ajmitchsiretart: and that's what we have to clarify, since it's different to what was agreed on11:05
Tonio_siretart: but lots of people have reported knetworkmanager is working great :)11:05
siretartTonio_: you'll need to talk to riddel. but the first step is to bring it to universe anyway :)11:05
ajmitchsigh, *yet more* f-spot bugs11:06

siretartkelmo: great :)11:24
ajmitchStevenK: the results of a month working in .au ;)11:24
siretartkelmo: we perhaps have a (small) problem11:25
siretartkelmo: keybuk uploaded yesterday (or the day before) a new wpasupplicant to ubuntu/dapper11:25
kelmohmm11:25
siretartkelmo: he merged some parts of our experimental packaging into 0.4.811:25
ajmitchsiretart: just some?11:25
kelmoshit11:25
siretartajmitch: he dropped the init script at all11:26
ajmitchright11:26
ajmitchbecause he only wants it for desktop systems?11:26
siretartkelmo: he needed the new wpasupplicant for being able to support nm 0.6 with wpa support11:26
kelmoi'd really like to have a communication pipe with this guy, we need co-ordination co-operation if this is to work out11:26
siretartajmitch: right. he thinks that without init scripts, this is easier to integrate11:26
=== ajmitch doesn't quite see the rationale behind dropping the initscript altogether
kelmoi do11:27
kelmobut in due time11:27
kelmoi am heavily developpng the ifupdown integration11:27
kelmodeveloping*11:27
siretartand this integration is really great stuff11:27
kelmobut require time, and co-operation11:27
kelmoi'd be more than happy to spend time so that our distro's can both be happy11:28
kelmowith the same source package11:28
siretartajmitch: the only reason for using an init script is to use wpasupplicant as roaming daemon11:28
ajmitchright11:28
kelmobut i need to know exactly what is happening, or else there is no point in my involvement, and vice versa, i need to communicate more too11:28
ajmitchall I really want is for things to Just Work ;)11:28
siretartajmitch: but this is fundamentally against the concept of ifupdown. so in order to not interefere too much with ifupdown, on which nearly all of the rest of ubuntu relies, dropping the init script completly is a good option11:29
ajmitchsiretart: right11:29
ajmitchsiretart: sounds reasonable from that perspective then11:29
siretartajmitch: you won't get a 'just work' solution with any init script. sorry11:29
kelmoi have not heard a good enough arguement FOR the init script yet11:29
siretartkelmo: only in the use case as roaming daemon11:29
kelmono, not even that imho11:30
siretartbut thats a completly different mode of operation11:30
kelmoi have an alternative to that "mode"11:30
kelmousing onlu ifupdown11:30
kelmoonly*11:30
siretartifupdown plus roaming? tell me more11:30
kelmowell, i need time tonight11:31
=== Yagisan [n=jamie@60-240-209-160.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-motu
kelmothen i must really begin documenting11:31
kelmobut in a nutshell:11:31
ajmitchhey Yagisan11:31
kelmowpa_cli daemon CONNECTED and DISCONNECTED events can drive the roaming aspect11:31
kelmoand execute a maintainer provided, or user provided (handcrafted) script with those events11:32
kelmocurrently i only have a proof of concept working demo for this11:32
siretartthis is called an 'action script', right?11:32
YagisanG'day ajmitch11:33
kelmowhen a network is detected, and association is completed, dhclient is called11:33
siretartsounds sane11:33
kelmowhen you disconnect ( for any reason) dhclient releases the device11:33
kelmothis can be extrended to detailed network profiles11:33
ajmitchkelmo: when a network changes, or always on those events?11:33
kelmoextended*11:33
ajmitcheg if you get disconnected & reconnect to the same network in a few seconds, what would happen?11:33
kelmoajmitch: those events are frequent, and the construct of the script is vital11:34
siretartthis does happen from time to time, right11:34
Yagisanajmitch: I managed to patch a 2.6.16 kernel with pax and the ck patchsets, but then looked at the ubuntu kernel source to integrate l-r-m and have gone - wtf. how does this work.11:34
kelmobut there is nothing you can do if your device is dropping of the netwrok all the time, that is different problem all together11:34
kelmoimho11:34
ajmitchYagisan: yeah, the ubuntu kernel has a couple of changes11:35
kelmoajmitch: but when the network changes, the actions are triggered yes11:35
ajmitchkelmo: I agree11:35
kelmoyou can even simulate it with wpa_gui11:35
Yagisanajmitch: yes - like no .diff in dapper11:35
kelmoyou can disable networks on the fly, what the wpa_cli daemon manipulate the interface via the action script11:35
ajmitchYagisan: just a git tree, saner for kernel development11:35
kelmos/what/watch11:36
siretartkelmo: this sounds promising, indeed. the automatic release of a dhcp release on a DISCONNECT event sounds rather invasive to me11:36
Yagisanajmitch: I don't know how to use git. yet anyway.11:36
kelmowhy?11:36
kelmoyouneed to release the network setting once you disconnect from a network, in order to configure the next network that you "roam" into11:37
siretartkelmo: well, if your link is poor, I fear that there could be a storm of dhcp messages on the air because of that11:37
siretartbut I might be too careful at this point11:37
kelmoof course, that is "expected behaviour"11:37
siretartok11:37
kelmowe can daemonize the dhclient11:37
kelmothat will "fix" what you describe11:37
kelmo-nw11:37
kelmooptions11:38
siretartI see11:38
siretartbut this means that we don't let ifupdown handle dhclient, no?11:38
kelmook, please letme gather my thoughts11:38
kelmoyo guys tyype much faster than I ; )11:38
kelmoyou* type*11:38
siretartok :)11:38
kelmosiretart: correct:11:39
kelmothe manual interfaces $MODE must be set11:39
kelmofor wpa_cli deamon to take control11:39
kelmothis is well documented in debian policy11:39
kelmojust as if you give control to guessnet et al.11:40
kelmobut what intend to provide is flexibility11:40
kelmo+I11:40
kelmohad a direct good chat to aj this evening, he helped me sort out some suitable debugging code11:41
siretartnice :)11:41
kelmoso the BIG task with be documenting this, because the more time i spend talking about its usage in irc, the less time i am writing it in a file for *all* interested parties ; )11:42
=== StevenK hrms at power-manager
kelmos/with/will11:42
kelmosiretart: so, will you be around at a later stage this evening/day/timezone?11:42
kelmoand where can i find the debian difference of the recently uploaded ubuntu package for wpasupplicant?11:43
siretartkelmo: I'm from germany, I intend to be online this afternoon (its 11:43AM here currently)11:43
kelmoor the diff.gz would be fine i guess11:43
siretartkelmo: I'd suggest to download the ubuntu source package for now, the changes are documented in the changelog11:43
ajmitchkelmo: recruit willing slaves to document11:44
siretarthttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant_0.4.8-0ubuntu1.diff.gz11:44
kelmoajmitch: yes, i have some guys at kanotix who are more than willing to help translate too11:44
ajmitchok, 6 f-spot bugs out of 13 that are marked 'in progress' now & solved with the next upload11:45
siretartkelmo: let me explain what I currently have. I have prepared a new upload of 0.4.8-111:45
siretartI hesitate with uploading, because I changed the init.d script and the /etc/default/wpasupplicant11:45
siretartthe user has to choose for now if he wants to run wpasupplicant in daemon mode (depreacted) or in 'link' mode11:45
siretartlink mode activates wpasupplicant in /etc/network/if-preup.d/wpasupplicant11:45
siretartthis link mode thingy is tested by at least 3 users11:45
siretartand seems to work so far11:45
kelmohmm11:45
kelmoit definately does not get me excited11:45
siretartwe need to decide how to go on from here11:46
siretartright, i developed it in oder to fix some bugs we have in the bts11:46
kelmoi really don't want to throw away my work, if there is a different directive that will override my influence now, i must know soon11:46
siretartkelmo: I want to get your work into unstable ASAP11:46
kelmocool, but we need patience ; )11:47
siretartkelmo: what I have done was an interim solution to make the current bug reporters happy11:47
kelmook, thas good, but you started to scare me ; )11:47
siretartkelmo: but now that keybuk uploaded the new world order of things have changed a bit11:47
siretartI'm tempted to integrate your work in the experimantal package to the next 0.4.8-1 upload11:48
StevenKHrm. There's an awful lot of python2.3 unmet deps.11:48
ajmitchStevenK: yep :)11:48
kelmowell, can i just please ask this:11:48
siretartperhaps without the action script, if that needs more time11:48
siretartbut we already have a non-roaming wpasupplicant integration with ifupdown11:48
kelmoplease please please let me announce that my work is final before we go gun ho11:48
siretartwhich WORKS (at least for me)11:48
ajmitchStevenK: mostly due to the gutting of python2.3 from main - so any main python lib had its python2.3 package removed11:48
=== StevenK nods.
siretartkelmo: of course. no problem11:49
kelmosiretart: buggy non-roaming wpasupplicant integration11:49
kelmothere are holes in it11:49
siretartkelmo: buggy in what way?11:49
ajmitchStevenK: it broke zope2.8 horrendously - I have 'forked' python-xml for universe11:49
kelmowell, i have made many changes11:49

kelmothis would be, frustrating11:49
siretartcompletly understandable11:50
siretartyour work is great. I'd love to see that in unstable11:50
kelmodefinately11:50
kelmobut its not good enough *right now*11:50
kelmoin *any form*11:50
siretartand thats why I was working on this link mode thingy11:50
kelmocool11:51
kelmook, let me get to work11:51
siretartas interim solution11:51
kelmomidnight approaches quickly11:51
ajmitchkelmo: where are you?11:51
siretartkelmo: how do you think about this?11:51
kelmobrisbane11:51
siretartkelmo: shall I ask my sponsor to upload this?11:51
kelmoau11:51
ajmitchkelmo: ah right, a pity I didn't know - I was just there for a month :)11:51
kelmosiretart: what is "this", the link stuff?11:52
=== ajmitch is in Dunedin, NZ, so is a lot closer to midnight :)
siretartkelmo: it causes another round of conffile changes to our users. which will happen again when we switch to new world order11:52
siretartkelmo: I introduced a new variable in the old packages, called 'TYPE'11:52
siretartkelmo: if the user sets this to 'DAEMON', wpasupplicant gets started at boot time, as ever11:52
siretart(deprecated)11:52
siretartif the user sets this to 'link', it gets started in /etc/network/if-preup.d/wpasupplicant11:53
Tonio_any wolunteer to revu this ? http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=216711:53
Tonio_it is actually discussed as a replacement for kwifimanager on kubuntu by default :)11:53
siretartI'd like to get many of the bugs we have in the bts open fixed. which the new upload does11:54
kelmomy main concern is this: be careful of forcing users to switch "methods" too many times in a short period, it may become a reason to stop the work i currently do from being introduced11:54
siretartthats right11:54
kelmoand:11:54
kelmoi am confident i can work out minor points of operation this evening11:54
kelmoand we can discuss this in a few hours time11:55
kelmois that ok?11:55
siretartkelmo: how quick do you think we can get your work suitable for unstable?11:55
kelmosiretart: raw code: maybe this weekend11:55
siretartI finally have a wpa secured network at home, so I can test better11:55
kelmosiretart: good documentation, a week, two or more11:55
siretartkelmo: ok, I'll help you with documenting11:55
kelmoand that is only if i can "walk the talk"11:56
kelmoat the moment i am simply talking the talk11:56
siretartthen lets work on that and target an upload for monday or tuesday, pointing to some wiki page for documentation11:56
siretartso that we can work on documentation there. :)11:56
kelmookay, i have a slightly off topic question that also requires my urgent attention this evening11:57
kelmoconffiles11:57
siretartthis is perfectly on topic for #ubuntu-motu :)11:57
kelmoi have seen a package that overwrote a key kde conffile (kdebase-data) even11:57
=== zakame [n=zak@ubuntu/member/zakame] has joined #ubuntu-motu
kelmothe package is restricted to kanotix however, that is the off-topicness11:58
kelmobut the concept is interesting11:58
kelmonow a new package owns a key conffile11:58
kelmoand threatens the upgrade path of kdebase-data11:58
kelmowe need to employ a hack to put that conffile back in the hands of kdebase-data11:59
kelmowith minimal (if at all) manual intervention11:59
kelmoany quick ideas?11:59
siretartI'm a bit confused12:00
kelmoi have noticed udev has some postinst code to remove warn about leftover hotplug stuff12:00
=== xophEr [n=xopher@a84-230-124-206.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #ubuntu-motu
siretartif kdebase-data has a conffile, which is also in another package, dpkg should prevent installation of that other package due to file conflicts12:00
kelmoyes, reason that did not happen:12:01
siretartare you sure you don't mix conffiles vs. configuration file?12:01
kelmoour "ftp-master" trusted the uploader so much, that he failed to interigate the package12:01
kelmoand the package had Replaces: kdebase-data!12:01
kelmomassive blunder12:01
kelmoand not something we can live with12:02
ajmitchouch12:02
kelmoexactly12:02
Tm_Thaha12:02
kelmothere is alot of embarrasment about this in our camp12:02
siretartand now users have upgraded to the new broken package, right?12:02
kelmosiretart: some have, correct12:02
kelmothis really spells bad news => new kde soon12:03
kelmoi am simply wondering if anybody would have a quick idea about this problem12:03
siretarthm. you will perhaps need a new upload of kdebase-data, which conflicts against this malicous package. remove/fix that package asap12:03
kelmoyes, but hesitation:12:04
siretartbut thats obvious, now you have the problem with conffiles12:04
kelmoa binNMU of kdebase may introduce subtle ABI changes12:04
kelmoas well12:04
kelmocompounding an allready outrageous problem12:04
siretart*sigh*12:04

Tonio_siretart: I assume this is because I don't split the lib12:08
siretartTonio_: you are providing an shared library, but no soname. isn't this file intended for use in other packages?12:09
Tonio_siretart: but should I ? as it is for knetworkmanager usage only12:09

Tonio_should I override lintian then ?12:09
Tonio_siretart: or let the error ?12:10
siretartkelmo: you could do some heuristics, check the dpkg database if that specific version is installed, and do then countermeasures12:10
siretart(like debconf WARNING screen)12:10
siretartTonio_: I've seen packages ignoring this issues, but I'm not happy with that either12:10
siretartI'd need to look up what to do with internal only use shared libs12:11
kelmosiretart: yep, just like udev12:11
zakameTonio_: is that so a plugin or something12:11
Tonio_siretart: so you would suggest to split anyway, even if the lib is intended for internal usage only ?12:11
zakame(I'm so ignorant of kde, sorry)12:11
Tonio_zakame: nope, it is just a lib used in that package only, nothing more12:11
siretartTonio_: no, if only one package needs that libs, thats overkill12:11
Tonio_siretart: so I can let the error and upload like that12:12
zakameTonio_: hm, can you just statically link it then and save a file?12:12
zakameTonio_: but then again that might be not a good idea12:12
Tonio_zakame: hum..... what would it change ?12:12
siretartTonio_: I'd like to do some more research on that topic before giving advice12:12
Tonio_zakame: the package works actually, it is just to make lintian happy with it :) but I generally don't like to override lintian messages :)12:13
zakamesiretart++12:13
Tonio_siretart: okay, thanks ;)12:13

tsengi used to work on hardened gentoo a long long time ago01:33
Yagisanthat being all I have to compare at home01:33
Yagisantseng: I know )I used to cherry pick your patches from http://dev.gentoo.org/~tseng/kernel/ )01:34

Tonio_need a upload to be nuked :)01:36
tsengYagisan: if you could get the full grsecurity suite running nicely on my ubuntu server, you would be my hero01:37
=== ajmitch wonders why the 20 sec lag on IRC now..
Yagisantseng: I'd be my hero too - but spender hasn't yet ported to 2.6.16, but if pax is now there, ther should be a patch soonish01:38
tsengyeah, thats the hard part.01:38
Yagisantseng: I diffed the .14 grsec against .16 and went - nope, I'll just take the pax bit then. Easier for me01:39
Yagisantseng: I don't know why they can't break it up into little bits and send it mainline. A lot of those features would be useful.01:40
tsengoh yeah01:45
tsengone time we tried to send the randomized pid's and stuff01:45

Yagisantseng: I was thinking more a meta distribution, so I could merge patches automatically when a new release of a package hits dapper. Currently I do it manually.01:53
tsengoh01:53
tsengthat sounds like HCT01:54
tsengwhich will be part of launchpad someday, we hope01:54
Yagisantseng: ? usually my changes are CFLAGS related, but sometimes I have a new patch I pinched from somewhere.01:54
tsengits not entirely automated, but it makes handling patches easier01:54
tsengwhat are you doing to CFLAGS?01:55
Yagisantseng: new gcc 4.1 features :) -f-stack-protector stuff usually.01:57
tsengi think pitti is looking at that a little01:57
slomoYagisan: can't you just use a patched gcc that enables this by default?01:57
tsengslomo: sortof01:57
tsengslomo: but some packages dont like it01:57
Yagisanslomo: my testing showed that doing it package by package was better01:57

tsengit has been a really long time since i cared :)02:01
tsengi dont remember02:01
Yagisanslomo: I sometimes see them segfault on startup02:02
tsengslomo: ssp adds a stack guard in assembly02:02
Yagisanslomo: but as I build them with gcc 4.1 I'll make a list (assuming I use the app)02:02
tsengif someone is doing evil things with the stack02:02
tsengyour app will either blow up or be wrongfully killed by ssp02:02
tsengmost of the time its a bug in the app02:03
tsengnot ssp02:03
Yagisanpersonally I think ssp is working correctly02:03
Yagisanon i386, it does take the speed advantage of -fomit-frame-pointer away. other arches have no penalty02:04
Yagisanbut that is only for certain functions (unless -fstack-protector-all is used)02:05
slomox86 is deprecated anyway ;)02:05
spaceyYagisan: maybe you can give ubuntu-hardened some extra life with that :)02:05
ajmitchslomo: of course, we should all have amd64 by now, right?02:05
spaceyYagisan: did you utilize the mirror yet?:)02:06
slomoYagisan: is ssp without -fomit-frame-pointer slower than without both on x86?02:06
Yagisanspacey: not yet. my upstream is saturated atm, but I will soon02:06

=== Topic (#ubuntu-motu): set by Seveas at Tue Mar 21 16:53:55 2006
(Yagisan/#ubuntu-motu) slomo: that package will never get into debian03:53
(siretart/#ubuntu-motu) slomo: ok. I will cherry pick and include that to the diff.gz (read: directly into the svn03:53
(siretart/#ubuntu-motu) slomo: because the TOOLS/ subdir is a mess anyway. but well03:53
(slomo/#ubuntu-motu) siretart: ok... is there something useful in TOOLS? i didn't look too closely03:53
(slomo/#ubuntu-motu) Yagisan: no, most probably not... although the debian package has nothing evil that ffmpeg doesn't have03:54
siretartsome helper scripts like mencvcd, which calls mencode with correct parameters for vcd encoding and such03:54
siretartnothing critical, but nice to have03:54
=== dzonni [n=dzonni@217-159-219-166-dsl.est.estpak.ee] has joined #ubuntu-motu
Yagisanslomo: I know. The name seems cursed. If it had another name, it would might move quicker03:56
slomoYagisan: exactly... and when beeing consequent many things would have to stay out of debian too the same way like mplayer ;)03:57
Yagisanslomo: I too find it odd that they can apply the same rules to the same type of application, and get two different outcomes04:00
slomoYagisan: different people looking at it04:00
Yagisanslomo: I suppose. I'd look up the DFSG to see if patents are listed, but www.debian.org seems to be down.04:03
slomoYagisan: patents make a package not freely redistributable... so it should be at least implicitly listed there04:04
Yagisanslomo: if you take that attitude, you can't distribute any software - somewhere some jerk has a patent on almost all software04:05
Yagisanslomo: eg apple patented software updates recently - now update-manager is infinging04:06
Yagisanslomo: it's absurd that *ideas* like that can be patented, copyright law already covers the expression of the idea, a patent is not required.04:08
slomoYagisan: yes... unfortunately. the only difference here is, that multimedia related patents were enforced in the past while most other were not...04:08
slomoYagisan: hehe, no need to tell me that :)04:08
Yagisanslomo: the funny thing is multimedia, is maths. Why are people patenting maths now ?04:09
=== Yagisan should go to bed before I bore everyone with my opinions on patents
siretartI had the chance to talk to one of the ftp-masters in debian at linuxtag04:10
slomoYagisan: because they can... they would patent breathing when it would be possible ;)04:10
siretartabout mplayer not beeing processed04:11
Yagisanslomo: they might have already done that. 20% of the human genome is now patented04:11
slomosiretart: and what did he say?04:12
siretartthe thing is this: if he would reject mplayer, then many many other software would need to be removed from debian as well04:12
siretartlike, say, xine, ffmpeg and so on04:12
siretartand this would cause a GIANT flamewar, which he wants to avoid04:12
siretartin order to check and approve mplayer, he would need about 5h in a row, he told me04:12
siretartthe thing is, that he is too busy with other packages, which needs to be reviewed as well04:13
siretartand so he puts the package on 'hold'. for now04:13

kelmo_lapits dodgy06:50
YagisanI just got emailed a spam that crashes evolution constantly06:50
slomoYagisan: tell malone about it :)06:51
crimsunsiretart: (we probably need to demote the build-dep to libqt3-dev so that wpasupplicant can enter main)06:51
=== Yagisan feels a warm and tingly feeling right now
crimsunlibqt3-mt-dev, that is06:51
siretartno qt4 in main. gnarf06:51
siretartperhaps we can do an alternative on that06:51
siretartI'd like it to be backportable to sarge as well06:51
crimsunyeah, sounds reasonable06:52
siretartnobse talked to me about that06:52
kelmook, cleaned up that garbage06:53
kelmoexcuse me for the problem06:53
siretartoh, you already did? I was working on that as well :)06:55
kelmowell, that bit is the least of my interests, lets move on ; )06:55
siretart:)06:56
Yagisanslomo: I got the spam open in a text editor06:57
slomoYagisan: something bad in there?06:57
Yagisanslomo: it appears to exploit the evolution crashes if many urls are in an email sec bug alan cox discovered06:57
siretartkelmo_lap: it ifupdown script looks very improved06:58
slomoYagisan: oh... definitely needs to be fixed :/06:58
siretartpackage builds fine for me06:58
kelmoi have spent much time on it!06:58
kelmothe ifupdown script06:58
kelmonot much time in debian/rules evidently ; )06:59
Yagisanslomo: If I could read arabic, I could tell you what they are trying to sell me too06:59
siretart:)06:59
siretartbut you are right, the old rules file was rather a mess06:59
kelmowell, this way they are short and sweet06:59
siretartok, package built fine in 1:45 on my dapper laptop06:59
kelmothere are still some items in the TODO list07:01
kelmoa menu entry for wpagui would be nice07:01
kelmolittle things like that07:01
kelmolong term plans: improve wpa_cli feedback engine, but i suppose you guys will favout NMW at all times07:02
kelmoso you guys will use QT3?07:03
siretartkelmo_lap: we also have qt4 in universe, but only qt3 in main07:03
kelmomaybe we can make the rules a bit nicer so you just change QMAKE and it selects the right target07:03
siretartkelmo_lap: so for getting wpasupplicant on the cd, qt3 would be a must07:03
kelmothen one line change in rules, change control file build-deps07:03
siretartbut after all, in order to get it in sarge, we would need to use qt3 anyway07:04
kelmosarge?07:04
kelmobit late for that aint it?07:04
siretartkelmo_lap: I'll work on getting it backportable. I think about putting build depends alternatives, and make the rules file check what is actually available07:04
crimsun(backportability)07:04
siretartkelmo_lap: I mean backports.org07:04
siretartkelmo_lap: nobse builds updated packages in sarge chroots07:05
siretartkelmo_lap: anything special before I go into deep testing mode I should look at?07:06
kelmoits 4am, don't ask me to think . . .07:06
siretartuuh07:07
kelmowell, if i wake up and see that what we've done tonight is sane, maybe i should request Kyle get this in deb/experimental07:07
kelmoso i guess the init script is being totally dropped?07:08
siretartKyle seems quite busy. have you talked to him lately?07:08
kelmono07:08
Yagisankelmo: 4am, so Aus, or Asia ?07:08
siretartkelmo_lap: keybuk dropped the init script completely. we still have it for supporting the traditional way (as system daemon)07:08
kelmoYagisan: au07:09
siretartkelmo_lap: where is the action script run?07:09
siretartor better, run from07:10
kelmoyou have to ask it to run, for now07:10
kelmowpa-action /path/to/action/script07:10
siretartexcellent!07:10
kelmothat should allow flexibility07:10
Yagisankelmo: G'day from Sydney. NT or SA ?07:10
kelmoso when you wanna use NMW, no conflicts here07:11
kelmoYagisan: brissie07:11
siretartNMW?07:11

siretartwell, I will see. I was told that it still has issues on madwifi07:12
siretartor the other way rund07:12
siretartround07:12
Yagisankelmo: crap, forgot daylight saving didn't end yesterday.07:12
kelmoi just commited one patch for NM compat the other day07:12
kelmoto madwifi-ng07:12
kelmothe one that Dan submitted07:13
kelmoto report IW_CAPA*07:13
kelmojust the scanning problem07:13
kelmobut wpa_sup 0.5.2 has a workaround for it07:13
kelmoor you might like to take a loong into my madwifi-ng experimental branch fopr a patch07:13
kelmos/loong/look*07:14
kelmoto eliminate that annoying 30 second interval07:14
kelmoshoudl help with wifi-radar and so on07:14
kelmoi saw your diff.gz for that package07:14
siretartso you mean that wpa_sup 0.5.2 and madwifi-old should just do it?07:14
kelmomadwifi-old? no07:14
kelmomadwifi-ng07:14
siretartok07:15
kelmomaybe with a patch07:15
kelmoor07:15
kelmowith bleeding edge wpa_sup07:15
kelmopatch is in pkg-madwifi notuploaded branch07:15
kelmoif you are interested07:15
kelmoi won't apply it upstream07:15
siretartwill look at that07:15
kelmobut will carry it along until that guys finds the time to fix the outstanding issues07:16
kelmos/guys/guy07:16
siretartkelmo_lap: what is the status about WE19 in madwifi-ng? Is it planned that madwifi-ng will work with -Dwext someday?07:16
kelmosome people have just started working on it07:16
kelmo*but*07:16
kelmothey must realise that madwifi still has to support older kernels07:17

siretartah, ok07:18
kelmocurrently there is no one person spending lots of time on it, just contributed patches07:18
kelmomaybe ath-driver will get better ; )07:18
siretartlets hope the best07:18
kelmowe had one guy report madwifi-ng was working quite well with nm 0.6.107:19
kelmonot sure about that version, just quoting him07:19
siretartI plan to test nm 0.6.1 tomorrow with madwifi-old. perhaps I can try madwifi-ng as well for comparison07:20
kelmosure07:20
kelmohow do you guys handle madwifi?07:20
kelmorestricted-modules meta package or so?07:21
siretartit is in the 'linux-restricted-modules' source package07:21
kelmoso to update one, you also have to update fglrx and nvidia?07:21
siretartthat package contains all restricted drivers we have: nvidia, fglrx, some restricted firmware and madwifi even07:21
siretartwell, all drivers are in that package, so, yes07:22
kelmohmm, ok07:22
siretartinfinity considers uploading madwifi-ng, but he hesitates07:22
kelmowhy?07:22
siretartI believe because it introduces additional dependencies07:22
siretartso these additional packages would have to go to universe first and then get promoted to main07:22
kelmodo you know what ones?07:23
siretartwhich wouldn't be that much of a problem if we weren't in feature freeze already07:23
siretartwell, I think he was talking about these mandatory user space tools07:23
siretartin order to setup your VAPs and then your actual devices07:23
kelmoyah, does he base his work on that of pkg-madwifi?07:24
kelmoi see no real problems there . . . at first glance07:24
siretartI don't think so07:25
siretartbecause kernel is handled specially07:25
siretartkelmo_lap: see, pkg-madwifi is about packaging madwifi only07:25
siretartkelmo_lap: he has no interest in slitting madwifi into its own sourcepackage, because that additional burden for security and abi bump uploads07:26
siretartkelmo_lap: currently, new kernel uploads are quite easy, because they involve exactly 2 uploads07:26
=== blake [n=smokin@pool-71-102-171-74.snloca.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
siretartunlike debian, which needs over 2 dozens uploads for kernel related packages for a security upload07:27
siretartwhich is insane07:27
kelmoyes, but module upgrades are notpossible with that method . . .07:27
kelmoi get your point though07:27
kelmoi handle those two dozen external modules for Kanotix ; )07:27
siretart;)07:28
Yagisanevolution bug now reported, and finally I reported that reportbug doesn't work with lp07:28
kelmobeginning to be a bitch lately07:28
Yagisankelmo you poor thing07:28
siretartI have strong doubts thad madwifi-ng will make it into dapper, but at least mjg59 strongly suggests doing so07:28
siretartwe'll see what happens07:29
kelmowell, for compatibility sake of wpa_sup, i hope not07:29
kelmoand hhostapd07:29
kelmoi don't plan to push madwifi-ng until a: its made a release or b) etch is released07:29
kelmos/a:/a)07:29
kelmoin all honesty, it still has a host of issues07:30
