Spec[x] depends if you want multiple debs or not12:03
ryanakcameaning...12:03
LaserJockryanakca: I already told you :-)12:04
ryanakcaits 1 program... so would they be diferent copies?12:04
LaserJockif you want to create more than 1 .deb out of a source package12:04
ryanakcaLaserJock: you did?12:04
LaserJockyeah12:04
LaserJockbut you might have missed it12:04
ryanakcaok, so I take it single binary12:04
LaserJockyeah12:05
ryanakcaoh, hehe oops12:05
ryanakcaI missed it, yeah12:05
LaserJockbut for instance, you could have like -doc, -dbg, -dev packages that are also built from the same source12:05
LaserJockthat is why there are actually quite a few less source packages than binary packages in the repo12:06

crimsun_bluefoxicy: RE: snort 2.6, it's worth checking with Javier. Check Debian 320920 in particular.01:42
UbugtuDebian bug 320920 in snort "Subject: snort: 2.4 upgrade, prelude support" [Wishlist,Open]  http://bugs.debian.org/32092001:42
ryanakcaconfig.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in       ???01:43
crimsun_bluefoxicy: perhaps if you applied some ... pressure toward upstream RE: the licensing of the rules, that would speed things along in Debian, which can along assist Ubuntu.01:43
bluefoxicycrimsun_:  did he rewrite the whole debian/ directory?01:43
bluefoxicycrimsun_:  I'm not particularly interested in the rules; in fact I am QUITE annoyed that my last experience with Snort in Ubuntu was "SNORT DEPENDS ON SNORT-RULES KTHX!"01:43
crimsun_bluefoxicy: doubtful, but I don't package snort. I'm referring to a licensing issue which prevents the previous stable version from entering.01:44
bluefoxicyAs far as I care, the rules don't need to be packaged, and snort shouldn't depend on them.  it works just find (albeit, non-operationally) without rules; and end users can easily write their own or get a registered feed and use OinkMaster (which is what I was doing, hence why I didn't like that snort forced me to install a rules package)01:44
bluefoxicycrimsun_:  is there another issue besides just the rules files?01:45

bluefoxicycrimsun_:  nods.  I think at the very least we can assume we don't need rules packaged.01:48
bluefoxicyother issues I don't have an answer for.01:49
bluefoxicy"In addition, the VRT is pleased to announce that will be maintaining a community ruleset that contains rules submitted by members of the open source community. While these rules are available as is, the VRT performs basic tests to ensure that new rules will not break Snort. These rules are distributed under the GPL and are freely available to all open source Snort users."  <-- there's always these01:50
bluefoxicy(however there are no 2.6 community rules)01:51

TheMusoLaserJock: Really?05:00
LaserJockno, but I've never really traveled before so..05:00
jsgotangcoi never took travel insurance before either05:00
TheMusoI travelled in a big group of people back in 2002, and we had it then.05:01
TheMusoI got it because of the value of the stuff I am bringing with me. :)(05:01
jsgotangcowell i took it after what happened before in montreal :/05:02

jsgotangcowow so you're bringing the whole thing05:04
jsgotangcoawesome05:04
TheMusoNotebook for sure. Not sure about the hardware speech synth yet, as I can't actually use that with my notebook at the moment.05:04
TheMusoWell I can, but not for what I would use it for.05:04
TheMusoLong story.05:05
LaserJockwhat does the speech synth do?05:06

TheMusoheh05:09
LaserJockat least it has a proper accent then ;-)05:09

TheMusoActually, I am not sure whether I would find it easy to work with a speech synth with an Aussie English accent.05:10
ajmitchheh05:10
ajmitchI'd find it hard to interpret australian as well05:10
LaserJockso can you go the other way around and "talk" into the computer?05:10
TheMusoNow with a New Zealand accent, thats another story. :)05:11
ajmitchyeah, an NZ accent would be just fine05:11
TheMusoLaserJock: Not with this speech synth, no. There is software to do that, but as far as I know for Linux it is in its infancy.05:11
ajmitchsince that's how mankind was intended to speak05:11
LaserJockTheMuso: so how do you type? braile?05:11
TheMusoLaserJock: No, just an ordinary computer keyboard.05:11

LaserJockTheMuso: so can you read the text at all?05:12
TheMusoLaserJock: On the screen, it depends.05:12
TheMusoI have enough sight, and also use a 21 inch monitor for other stuff as well.05:13
TheMusoI can use GNOME and FireFox when I need to for some websites that are very difficult to use speech with.05:13
LaserJockdang, that is fast then05:13
TheMusoI just turn up the font size in FireFox a couple of notches.05:13
ajmitchyou'd hate the font size for my irc client then05:14
TheMusoHeh05:14
TheMusoI spend 99% of my time on the console.05:15
LaserJockI can imagine05:15
LaserJockalthough ASCII art might "sound" funny :-)05:15

HobbseeErlang: yes, i'm one of those very scary people.05:23
ErlangHobbsee: that use KDE, or that use Emacs?05:23
HobbseeErlang: that use kde05:24
Erlangoh05:24
TheMusoHey Hobbsee. How goes the world of Uni?05:24
Erlangthat's not so scrary.05:24
ErlangI use KDE too.05:24
HobbseeTheMuso: it goes good, but my first exam is on thursday05:24
bddebianNo, Emacs is scary :-)05:24
ErlangYeah, Emacs makes me uberscary.05:24
Hobbseethat it is05:24
TheMusoEmacs is scary, and so are Emacs. :)05:25
ErlangI've renewed with the look of Visual Studio today, and i must admit I don't miss all that bling.  But now I realise I'm off-topic so I'll shut.05:26
LaserJockEmacs is kinda like that Matrix stuff05:26
ErlangIs there a #ubuntu-off-topic-for-developers channel?05:26
bddebianSay what you want, Visual Studio has some nice stuff05:26
LaserJockErlang: I though that was -motu :-)05:27
LaserJockwhat is Visual Studio for?05:27
ErlangLaserJock: Making the boss $05:27
bddebianHeh05:27
bddebianLaserJock: MS development05:28
LaserJockwhat language does it use?05:28
ErlangC#, VB.NET, C++(.NET)05:28
bddebianC, C++, C#, ASP, VB05:28
LaserJockwow, but no Python? ;-)05:29
ErlangLaserJock: ActivePython can be plugged into it and it's pretty nice admitedly05:29
bddebianShockingly no ;-P05:29
Erlangor is it Visual Python... in all cases, it's available from ActiveState.05:29
LaserJockI've never been impressed with how hard it was to program on Windows05:33
LaserJockeverything seems to cost so much05:34
HobbseeErlang: that's this one :P05:34
bddebianHow hard?  It's very easy, which is part of the problem I suppose :-)05:34
Erlangbddebian: bah, you've never made a plugin for Outlook I bet.05:35
bddebianNah, I've mostly done some ASP stuff and a little VB05:35
LaserJockbddebian: no, I mean to get compilers and stuff set up05:35
bddebianah05:36
LaserJockI remember when I was younger I wanted to learn C but I had a heck of a time finding a C compiler for Windows05:37
LaserJockthat was something that really got me going on Linux05:37
bddebianGah, Borland has been around Forever :-)05:37
LaserJockI remeber downloading 11 floppy disks to get Debian on my old 386 because it had gcc on it05:37
ErlangThe guy that works on Windows at work, with Visual Studio and all has the most trouble.  The other people use plain ol' Emacs and we have no blocker.05:37
LaserJockand then I never learned C because I had mor fun farting around in Linux :-)05:38
LaserJockI guess I was never meant to be a programmer ;-)05:39
bddebianMe either :'-(05:40
crimsun_well duh, deities don't have to program05:40

kelmowe (upstream madwifi) also don't support madwifi-old01:25
siretartpygi: yes. I read something like that between the lines in #ubuntu-devel01:25
kelmoso i can live with that01:25
pygikelmo, but to be honest, -ng is still higly experimental01:25
siretartok. so you suggest dropping madwifi-old support altogether, and go with the 0.5 branch of wpasupplicant01:25
kelmosiretart: i am offering points of discussion01:26
kelmosiretart: i am not forming hard opinion01:26
kelmonor hard suggestion01:26
pygisiretart, we need our own stabilization periods on both madwifi-ng and wpasupplicant01:26
pygiwe discovered a security issue in wpasupplicant/network-manager interaction rather late in the process for dapper01:27
pygithat shouldn't happen this time01:27
siretartwell, there weren't too many serious complaints/bug reports on the hostap mailinglist about the 0.5 branch, and hostap is shipping the 0.5 branch as well01:27
pygiagreed, I plan to contact upstream about n-m, too see if N-M will be out for edgy01:28
siretarthmmm01:28
pygiI kinda doubt we should support it, cause even if it will be out, it'll be late in the release cycle...01:28
pygiand considering the buggy nature of it :-/01:28
siretartkelmo: we can of course wait a week or two, and see how many angry reports we get for breaking madwifi-old, and then reconsider01:29
kelmosiretart: as madwifi maintainer, I am more than happy to support those poor souls01:29
kelmoand experience tells me that most debian people are installing madwifi-ng by hand in any case . . .01:30
pygisiretart, the point is that -ng supports much more and is better01:30
kelmopygi: indeed ;-)01:30
pygijust not stability-wise, but that can be improved by our communication with upstream01:30
kelmopygi: we plan to make 0.9.1 release very soon01:30
kelmopygi: stability is definately on the agenda ;-)01:31
pygikelmo, nice, hopefully with some improvements on that field:P01:31
kelmoscanning is also fubarred01:31
kelmoand mode changing01:31
pygithe scanning was most often problem with madwifi-old01:31
pygieven tho we backported some stuff from 0.5.x01:31
pygi(not the parts we needed to fix it tho :P)01:32
kelmoyes, raciness of the bsd stack is a curse01:32
pygisiretart, what I would suggest is rather to switch to new wpasupplicant, madwifi-ng and write our own patches for 0.6.3 of network manager01:32
pygiand perhaps, but just perhaps port some stuff from it's trunk01:32
pygithat way we get most feature & stability wise01:33
siretartpygi: for edgy, I agree with that.01:33
pygisiretart, I am talking about edgy :P01:33
kelmosiretart: i would not like to support madwifi-old anything for etch, not even in wpasupplicant, just this timing was not optimal01:34
siretartI see01:34
kelmo2 years of supporting deprecated driver would not be easy01:34
=== pygi nods
siretartkelmo: I see the argument that madwifi-old isn't an option for etch.01:35
kelmosiretart: funny thing was, my madwifi sponsor noticed the wpasupplicant upload, and was quite angry to begin with01:35
siretartkelmo: ok. Then let's do this: provide the prepared upload as binary on alioth/the wiki, and write an explanation to our mailing list01:36
siretartkelmo: if there are users which insist on using madwifi-old, then they shall take our 0.4 wpasupplicant binary01:36
siretartif we get too many complaints, we can revert to 0.4.01:37
kelmono problems01:37
kelmoi will add the dpatch to our source package01:37
kelmofopr both versions01:37
kelmoand only activate one01:37
=== Sp4rKy_ [n=max@lns-bzn-30-82-253-156-192.adsl.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
kelmowould that be okay?01:37
=== Sp4rKy_ is now known as Sp4rKy
siretartkelmo: thats a good idea. provide both dpatches, and make a switch in debian/rules for selection of -old/-ng01:38
=== Hirion [n=hirion@draugr.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu
siretartkelmo: users can then reroll their own binaries, if they like with the switch set to -old01:38
kelmoyes01:38
kelmosiretart: hmm, do you think i should bother Kyle for one last minute upload, with the required changes?01:40
siretartwe need to make a decision in <10 days, so that the 0.5 branch doesn't reach testing..01:40
kelmosiretart: and move 0.5 to trunk01:40
kelmosiretart: pending discussion01:40
siretartkelmo: we need some explanation in README.Debian, with rationale01:41
kelmosiretart: will do01:41
=== kelmo is willing todo anything to help smooth over the situation
siretartI don't think the situation is too bad. it is unstable land anyway01:41
kelmoagreed01:42
kelmobut i feel very much responsible for it01:42
siretartkelmo: I don't have unstable at hand, is madwifi-ng actually in debian/unstable? which package is it?01:42
kelmosiretart: no, we have planned its upload to unstable just tonight01:43

kelmomadwifi ABI sucks01:46

kelmomadwifi-ng is in experimental01:46
kelmobtw01:46
=== pygi suggests kelmo to improve it ;)
kelmopygi: wext support almost completely eliminates it ;-)01:46
siretartkelmo: err, if it is in experimental, and you don't add new package, it doesn't need to go through NEW01:46
kelmosiretart: we have made enough changes that it *will* be in NEW01:47
kelmosiretart: i am quite aware of this01:47
kelmoplease see pkg-madwifi svn01:47
siretartkelmo: could you revert these changes, so that we have a quick version in unstable, and upload the version with the new binary packages afterwards?01:47
kelmosiretart: i too must follow my sponsors advice01:48
kelmosiretart: and I have01:48
siretarthm01:48
siretartok. then let's include these notes to wpasupplicants README.Debian01:49
kelmosiretart: i don't have any rapid communication avenue with him either, not rapid enough to revert stuff just discussed anhour ago01:49
siretartsuggest users to either use madwifi-ng from experimental, or roll madwifi-ng their own01:50
siretartor revert their package to 0.401:50
kelmosiretart: what about my own packages?01:50
kelmo;-)01:50
siretarterr, /me confused01:50
kelmohttp://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian/MadWifing01:50
kelmomany people have been using those for quite some time01:51
siretartor use these packages, of course01:51
siretartok01:51
kelmosiretart: i would suggest we point to the madwifi.org wiki in our docs01:51
kelmotoo01:51
kelmothat way i can make rapid changes to the avenue of support for the people effected by this change01:52
siretartkelmo: let's prepare these notes intended for README.Debian on wiki, and point to that place in the docs01:52
kelmoyep01:52
siretartI don't mind if we use madwifi.org or wiki.debian.org. the other wiki should link to the information01:52
kelmoyep, indeed01:53
kelmobut i am absolutely comfortable with madwifi wiki01:53
kelmobecause i wrote it ;-)01:53
siretart;)01:53
siretartok01:53
kelmosiretart: thanks for your time discussing this issue01:54
kelmovery appreciated01:54
siretartthen I let you prepare the notes, I continue my work. I see that I can finish earlier (in 2 or 3h) so I can start reviewing and preparing our svn01:54
siretartkelmo: just tell me where you prepare the notes01:54
siretartkelmo: hey, we are both Co-maintainers for this package ;)01:54
kelmosiretart: i will email pkg-wpa01:54
siretartok01:55
kelmosiretart: being co-maintainer does not mean you must talk with me about anything ;-)01:55

LaserJockok blanky and Murray11:02
blanky:)11:02
LaserJockblanky: are you interested in writing new apps, or bug fixing, or packaging existing apps?11:02
blankyall/either11:02
blankyexcept for packaging existing apps11:02
LaserJockhmm, well for looking for new stuff I'd check out specs11:04
LaserJockhttps://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs11:04
LaserJockand for bugs11:04
LaserJockI'd check out wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad11:04
LaserJockwiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay, and also #ubuntu-bugs11:05
blankykay, what I was particularly interested in was, I heard recently that ubuntu wanted it's programs, or more programs rather, in python, so I was wondering if there was a page that showed just what types of programs they were looking for, or what was in demand11:05
LaserJockwell, there is lots of stuff needed, but there isn't a Python specifc list11:05
blankyokay, thanks11:06
LaserJockUbuntu sort of "leans" towards Python but it isn't exclusive by any means11:07
LaserJockit depends on the app and upstream authors, etc.11:07
blankyof course11:07
LaserJockthe specs might be a good place to find projects to work on11:07
LaserJockbut Ubuntu itself is a distro so don't think we exactly write a lot of new software11:09

MurrayADV on where to start? What lang. are mostly used in the ubuntu packages etc.11:16
ErlangIn the packages, C/C++ is majority.  But development started by Ubuntu is in Python.11:18
phanaticSpec: ping11:19
MurrayThanks Erlang. Do you have a suggestion of a simple typical ap that I should use as an example. To build myself. mod. learn etc. Like windows calc, but one that is a good example of what the community expects?11:22
ErlangMurray: no I don't have such answer.11:24
