fowlduckhey, how does someone go about starting a new version of ubuntu?  I mean, someone had to put together edubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, so there has to be a method to this madness.12:21
LaserJockmore like lots of madness to the method ;-)12:27
LaserJockfowlduck: you want to like customize the .isos?12:27
fowlduckLaserJock, more than that, I want to customize what is installed during the install12:28
LaserJockthere are some wiki pages, but I don't know how far they go12:30
fowlducknot far at all12:31
fowlduckand they're for breezy12:31
fowlduckhow did the other people go about it?  there is such a barrier12:31
LaserJockwhat do you mean by other people?12:34
sladenfowlduck: define a meta-package that Depends on a bunch of stuff12:34
fowlduckLaserJock, as in those that started Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Kubuntu12:35
sladenfowlduck: they installed a bunch of packages and defined a meta-package that depended on them12:35
LaserJockfowlduck: those projects use the Ubuntu infrastructure12:35
fowlduckLaserJock, ok, so how would I go about getting access to this?  Or becoming an official project?12:36
fowlducksladen, but the installer12:36
sladenfowlduck: start by defining a meta-package, get it sponsored into universe12:36
LaserJockfowlduck: not sure, get the Technica Board or Mark to ok it perhaps12:36
sladenfowlduck: the core-infrastructure is all the same12:36
fowlducksladen, hmmm, i'll have to get some more packages put into it12:36
sladenfowlduck: what packages?12:37
LaserJockmeta-packages are by far easier to do12:37
fowlducklike pyflag12:37
fowlduckforemost12:37
fowlduckscalpel12:37
fowlduckmac-robber12:37
sladenare those in Debian?12:37
fowlducknope12:37
sladenideally, the first step is to get them into Debian12:37
LaserJockfowlduck: what kind of project are you trying to make?12:37
fowlducki had to package them myself for a program I wrote to customize ubuntu for computer forensics12:37
sladenokay, so they're already packaged?12:37
fowlduckLaserJock, computer forensics ubuntu12:37
LaserJockoh yeah, I thought I'd heard of pyflag12:37
fowlducksladen, yes, I packaged them12:38
sladenin that case, look at getting them uploaded to  revu12:38
LaserJockI thought there was already a derivative thing for that12:38
fowlduckLaserJock, I was the guy bothering you about packaging it this past spring break12:38
LaserJockoh, ok12:38
LaserJocknow I get it12:38
LaserJock:-)12:38
sladenand then getting them sponsored by one of the MOTU into universe12:38
fowlduckstill the same guy :)12:38
fowlduckI need to repackage them with a GPG key that I stick with12:38
sladenand apply for MOTU at the same time so that you get upload priviligies12:38
sladenfowlduck: *grin*, so you did manage to get them packaged! :)12:39
sladenLaserJock: rock!  See, it's worth helping people, they might come back a few months later with nicely packaged stuff :)12:39
LaserJockyep12:40
LaserJockfowlduck: the "offical" derivatives have to have their packages in Main12:40
LaserJockyour best bet is to get your packages in Universe and make a meta-package12:41
fowlduckLaserJock, how do you mean?  I'mnot new to packaging but I am to REVU12:41
fowlduckoh, ok12:41
fowlduckbut there is an issue12:41
fowlducksee, to be forensically sound, automounting has to be turned off, all forms of it12:42
fowlduckand that interferes with the settings of others12:42
LaserJockonce they are in the repos then it's possible to make a LiveCD with your tailored packages12:42
LaserJockyep12:42
LaserJockI'm not exactly sure the best way to get around that12:42
fowlduckLaserJock, and how to make the installer customized?  one thing at a time?12:43
fowlduckjust get all this in so it's less of a leap?12:43
crimsunfrom what level, though? In GNOME? Because there's no "automounting" at the cli or in X Window System.12:43
LaserJockright12:43
LaserJockI was thinking you'd go with a different WM12:43
fowlduckcrimsun, the lowest possible12:43
fowlducknaw, the current is fine12:44
crimsun"the lowest possible"?12:44
fowlduckcrimsun, the lowest possible level of automounting12:44
fowlduckcrimsun, I can screw with gconf and gvm12:44
crimsunthat's just two gconf settings.12:44
fowlduckcrimsun, but if there is something lower it can cause tampering with evidence12:44
fowlduckwhich makes it not forensically sound12:45
crimsunfowlduck: all automounting is done by g-v-m12:45
fowlduckwhich makes it all but useless12:45
fowlduckcrimsun, ahhhh, ok thanks12:45
crimsunthere's nothing lower (we don't include any kernel patches) in our default config12:45
fowlduckok, great12:46
fowlduckok, so install ubuntu and get packaging on here :)12:46
fowlduckup until now I've been doing it in a VM12:46

fowlduckthanks for your help, I'll be back later ( crimsun and LaserJock )12:47
LaserJockok, cya12:48
fowlduckoh, one more thing, packages should not install into /usr/local12:48
fowlduckright?12:48
LaserJockright12:48
fowlduckok, so where then?  /usr?12:48
crimsunyes12:48
fowlduck/usr/program/?12:48
crimsun--prefix=/usr12:48
fowlduckcrimsun, two of those don't use a configure12:49
crimsunthat's fine, you can move them12:49
fowlduckok, so let them install there then use the rules file to move them?12:49
crimsun/usr/local/ is reserved for local admin12:49
crimsunno, modify their Makefiles to accept DESTDIR12:49
fowlduckok12:49
fowlduckthen use rules to specify the destdir12:50
crimsunyes.12:50
fowlduckin the make12:50
fowlduckok, thanks12:50
LaserJockand politely ask upstream to adjust for DESTIDIR ;-)12:50
fowlduckoh, and if a program only has one config file, should it only be in /etc?  I shouldn't make another directory under /etc to hold it?  ex: /etc/program/program.conf12:51
fowlduckLaserJock, oh, ok12:51
fowlduckLaserJock, although it may be in /usr/local for a reason, as these tools should probably only be run by root...I think12:51
crimsunno, /usr/local/ on Debian systems is unconditionally not to be mucked with12:52
LaserJockthat has nothing to do with /usr/local12:52
fowlduckoh, ok12:52
fowlduckthanks12:52
LaserJock /usr/sbin/ might be the place then, not sure though12:52
fowlduckkk12:53
crimsunand I would say that /etc/somedir/ is cleaner12:53
crimsuneven if it is just that one file12:53
fowlduckcrimsun, I would think so, but I'd like to do it a standard way12:53
fowlduckcrimsun, whats worse is one wants to install its' config file in /usr/local/etc12:54
crimsunMakefile hacking.12:54
fowlduckyou actually have to modify the source to change it too12:54
fowlducki wish it was just the makefile12:54
fowlduckand I guess we're not supposed to modify the source too12:54
LaserJockthat's what patches are for12:55
fowlduckhmm, so how does one make patches? (like a diff?)12:56
fowlducki mean, you can just point me to a program to do it or a link and i'll figure it out, i've already pestered you guys enough12:56
crimsunsomething based on diff(1), yes12:57
LaserJockboy, this really is "point out deficencies in the packaging guide" day :-)12:57
fowlduckhehe12:57
fowlduckit's all for the greater good12:58
fowlduckthink of it as "improving the packaging guide" day :)12:58
LaserJockwell, that needs more than a day12:59
LaserJock:-)12:59
fowlduckbit by bit, piece by piece12:59
fowlduckso, what program can be used for patching?12:59
fowlduckI'd like to get to this packaging12:59
fowlduck::::)      (<==A spider smiling)01:00
crimsunpatch(1)01:01
fowlduckok, thanks01:01
crimsunto generate a unified diff, use something based on diff(1)01:01
fowlduckunified diff?01:01
crimsunit's a particular diff format01:01
fowlduckok01:02
fowlduckwhich is what I need to submit this package or something?01:02
fowlducki'm confused01:02
fowlduckhi01:03
crimsundiff(1) is used to generate a line-by-line summary of differences between file{,s}01:03
crimsunyou can apply a file generated by diff(1) using patch(1)01:03

sanderHello, does anyone here know how packages are added to edgy? rationale: gnome-hearts hit debian/unstable a few days ago and I like to see it in edgy and backport it to dapper01:57
LaserJocksander: I don't think we are automatically grabing packages still01:58
LaserJockso we would need to either request as sync if it builds fine on edgy or manually merge it01:58
LaserJockbackporting can be done once it's in edgy01:58
sanderpbuilder works fine on Ubuntu so a sync should work. Where do I request a sync?01:59
crimsunit'll be synced in automatically.01:59
crimsunit entered on the fifth of July, which was prior to UVF02:00
crimsunjust be patient02:00
crimsunthe buildds have days worth of building to do02:00
sanderstill? I thought only packeges that were synced on edgy creation were auto-synced, not new packages after the big debian snapshot02:00
LaserJockthey have a script which tells them about new packages since they last synced02:01
crimsununiverse freeze isn't until late Sept02:01
crimsunthere's plenty of time remaining for sync02:01
crimsuns02:01
LaserJockI assumed they wouldn't be automatic after UVF02:01
crimsunthey're not, but this date falls prior to UVF02:02
sanderWhen is UVF then?02:02
crimsunit was the thirteenth02:03
sanderhmmm....02:03
sandergnome-hearts was uploaded the 5th. I should be okay then02:04
crimsunkeep in mind virtually nothing was buildable the past couple days.02:04
sanderand how about the edgy/main repository? What is the procedure for getting packages in there? Or is that selection already frozen?02:05
crimsunUVF is already passed.02:05
crimsunpast.02:06
LaserJockcrimsun: are you sure it got in?02:06
crimsunLaserJock: no, but it doesn't matter02:06
LaserJockcrimsun: I can't find it anywhere02:06
crimsunit would be synced into universe, not into main02:06
LaserJockright, but are you sure we are still autosyncing?02:06
crimsunno, we're not afaik02:07
LaserJockso wouldn't someone have to manually request a sync? or perhaps we just have to wait for Keybuck02:07
crimsunI can't imagine we won't sync again at least once more02:07
LaserJockyeah02:07
crimsunyou can request a sync into, sure, but I'm pretty sure it'll be redundant.02:08
sanderIn case it doesn't appear in a couple of days, how can I request a sync?02:08
crimsunfile a bug against gnome-hearts, subscribe (don't assign to) ubuntu-archive02:09
LaserJockhe can't file a bug against gnome-hearts02:09
crimsunright, which is why it's pointless02:09
LaserJockbut I think people have been just filing against ubuntu in those cases02:10
crimsunwait, and you want to backport this into dapper-backports?02:10
crimsunwe're not allowed to introduce new packages02:10
sanderyeah, but that's extra. First I want Edgy sorted. Dapper is bonus :-)02:11
crimsundapper-backports is not valid in this case02:11
crimsunedgy will be fine, since it can be synced in anytime between now and Sept 28th02:11
sanderGood, thanks. And after that I could request a backport for dapper? Which would go in dapper/universe or dapper/backports?02:13
crimsunyou can't request it into dapper.02:14
crimsunthat's what I was trying to explain.02:14
crimsungnome-hearts didn't exist in dapper when dapper was released, so it'd be a new package02:14
crimsunwe can't backport new packages02:14
sanderAh, so backports only has edgy versions of dapper packages, right?02:15
crimsunright.02:15
=== redguy_ [n=mati@ads228.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has joined #ubuntu-motu
sanderThanks. One more question if you don't mind: how is the edgy/main selected? Or was that done too at UVF?02:16
crimsunwhat do you mean by "selected"?02:17
sanderWell, you guys select a subset of the debian repros for the edgy/main repro. The rest goes in edgy/universe or multiverse.02:18
sanderOr did I misunderstand?02:18
crimsunslightly02:18
sanderah....02:18
crimsunmain and restricted are supported; all other components aren't02:18
crimsunso if something's in main, it has to have a darned good reason to be there02:19
crimsuni.e., random new Debian package doesn't end up in main02:19
crimsunit has to be a requirement/dependency of another main package02:19
crimsunand even then it's not guaranteed02:19
=== zenrox [n=zenrox@71.115.198.118] has joined #ubuntu-motu
sanderI understand. I saw talk of revising the list of games for edgy, hence my question02:20
crimsunwell it's a shoe-in for universe, but promoting it to main is much more difficult02:21
sanderThat's what I thought. And I can't find documentation about that process (if there is a process to begin with)02:21
LaserJockyou have to write a Main inclusion report02:22
crimsunyes, it's called promotion, and it's recorded via anastacia02:22
crimsunright, you need to write up a "MIR"02:22
crimsunhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportBeecrypt  for an example02:23
crimsuncanonical instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements02:24
sanderThanks for that. Much reading to do :-)02:25
sanderWhat's the best place to see when my package gets synced into edgy? Currently I simply browse archive.ubuntu.com but I have a feeling there's a better place for that02:27
LaserJocksander: hmm, there is the edgy-changes mailing list02:28
LaserJockI think there is also an RSS feed somewhere02:28
sanderFound it. Thanks for the help. You too crimsun02:30

Fujitsushawarma, I have experience with a couple.03:08
Fujitsushawarma, what do you wish to know?03:08
shawarmaFujitsu: I'm just a little confused about the i386 compatibility thing.. Does it actually run stuff compiled for i386?03:09
Fujitsushawarma, if you install the i386 version, yes.03:09
shawarmaI'll be installing the amd64 version of course.03:09
FujitsuAh.03:09
FujitsuYou'll need a 32-bit chroot then, to run 32-bit apps.03:09
tsengsimple answer: you cant run 32-bit apps on 64-bit ubuntu03:09
shawarmaBut a chroot will do?03:10
shawarmaI'm not into simple answers. :-)03:10
tsenglinux32 chroot myubuntu32chroot/03:10
tsengworks for simple things03:10
tsengchroot gets complicated for running services or X etc03:10
shawarmaBecause of chroot or because of amd64 vs. i386 stuff?03:11
tsengbecause of chroot03:11
shawarmaOk. I can handle that.03:11
shawarmaSo the reason I need the chroot is to make the dynamic linker happy more easily?03:11
tsenger03:12
tsengnot really.03:12
tsengthere are very few 32 bit libs in 64-bit ubuntu03:12
shawarmaI recently came into contact with a amd64 box running redhat. It had a bunch of i386 libs installed too.. What purpose would they serve?03:12
shawarmatseng: Yes, I'd imagine.03:12
tsengwe have linux 32 libs for amd64 also03:13
shawarmaWhat I meant was: In a chroot, the linker won't see anything but i386 stuff and as such will not try to link things compiled for different archs.03:13
tsengnothing sees anything outside the chroot03:13
tsengits totally contained03:14
shawarmaOr is that handled by some other mechanism?03:14
shawarmatseng: Yes, yes. I know.03:14
tsengif you want to think of it in terms of the linker, fine.03:14
shawarmaWell... I suppose I'm looking for an answer to: "Why is the chroot needed?"03:14
tsengits a complete set of libs, linker, compiler, apps03:14
tsengfor 32 bit03:14
tsenga full system (minus kernel)03:15
shawarmaYes, but the chroot only pertains to filesystems. It's still using the same kernel.03:15
tsengyou run linux32 chroot mydir/03:15
tsengand the apps think you are using a 32 bit kernel03:15
tsengthe kernel can handle running 32 bit code03:15
shawarmaAh... I see.03:15
tsengand so can the cpu03:15
tsengit is just a limitation in our 64 bit userland03:15
tsengwe dont have something called multilib03:16
tsenglook it up if you are really interested03:16
shawarmaLook up "multilib"?03:17
tsengsure.03:17
shawarmaI will..03:17

tsengyeah it is03:18
Hobbseemorning all03:18
shawarmaThe dynamic linker confusion comes from the infamous redhat system I saw. It had both a lib64 and a lib dir so the two architectures' libs coexisted in the same filesystem. I just imagined it'd cause linker weirdness all the time.03:19
shawarmaOn an Ubuntu amd64, is it also called /usr/lib64 or still just /usr/lib ?03:20

Laser_awaybah, that was a messed up sentence05:43

FujitsuHahahha.05:44
FujitsuGood idea.05:44
fowlduckhi05:45
fowlduckeveryone05:45
Laser_awayFujitsu: the general rule is, anything a MOTU can do you can do as well, you just need a MOTU to sponsor it05:45
FujitsuAh. OK.05:45
crimsunanyone seen Ming Hua lately?05:45
Laser_awaythat's how you become a MOTU in the first place05:45
Laser_awaycrimsun: no, unfortunately :(05:45
crimsunthose merges are sitting there05:45

Laser_awayyep05:48
=== Fujitsu looks for a good package to start with that doesn't have too many Ubuntu-specific changes.
Laser_awayFujitsu: the Packaging Guide does have a section on merging ;-)05:49
FujitsuLaser_away, I noticed :)05:49
Laser_awayand you left #ubuntu-science, don't you like us any more ;-)05:49
FujitsuNo, I had too many channels.05:49
FujitsuI joined #ubuntu-motu-school instead.05:50
FujitsuStupid 20 channel limit.05:50
Laser_awayprobably not as many as crimsun05:50
FujitsuI have to switch between a few.05:50
Laser_awaydoh, I'm going to need to add -school back in too05:50
FujitsuAny ideas on why that limit is in place?05:50
Laser_awayI wasn't aware of a limit05:50
FujitsuSo, should I just pick a package?05:51
FujitsuLaser_away, there's a limit of 20 channels.05:51
Laser_awaythough I never go much beyond 10-15 myself05:51
FujitsuAnd I have been hitting it for months.05:51
Laser_awayFujitsu: yeah, look for one where the diffs aren't huge05:51
FujitsuYeah, I shall.05:51
FujitsuI do like that easier-motuing spec. A very good idea.05:52
Laser_awaywe hope so05:52
Laser_awayif you want any easy one space-orbit is one of mine that looks easy05:52

fowlduckon how to use it with revu and whatnot?06:07
crimsundebsign(1)06:07
fowlduckok, thanks06:07
crimsunif you use debuild, pass -k06:08
crimsunalthough if you only have one uid associated with your key, you won't need -k06:08
FujitsuThe Ubuntu changes for space-orbit are just dependency ones... Debian merges one change, but not the other.06:08
fowlduckI'm not sure what a UID is06:08
Fujitsufowlduck, email address.06:09
fowlduckFujitsu, ahh, ok06:09
crimsunFujitsu: are you positive? According to the Ubuntu changelog there's a .desktop delta, too.06:10
crimsunoh d'oh, wrong changelog06:10
FujitsuYeah, there is no change.06:10
FujitsuThat was merged to Debian a little earlier.06:10
crimsunjust request a sync, then tell me the bug #, and I'll Ok it06:11
crimsunsorry, let me actually look06:11
FujitsuBut there is a little difference in the dependencies. Two dependencies were changed for 1.0.1-8ubuntu1.06:11
FujitsuOnly one is back in Debian now.06:11
FujitsuThanks, crimsun.06:12
=== quidam- [n=quidam@200.84.182.130] has joined #ubuntu-motu
FujitsuSurely the GL package dependencies in Debian are correct?06:13
crimsunno, it can't be synced. It still needs a merge.06:13
FujitsuOK, I thought so.06:14
FujitsuBut does it really?06:14
crimsunthe delta for the GL{,u} is valid.06:14
FujitsuThere are no other changes in Debian.06:14
crimsun"libglu1-mesa-dev | libglu-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev | libgl-dev"  is correct.06:14
FujitsuSo a merge will be identical except for the version,.06:14
FujitsuBut is a merge actually necessary if there are no changes?06:15
crimsunthere is a change.06:15
=== crimsun looks closer

FujitsuOr has MoM got some odd intelligence which allows it to correct them?07:32
crimsunwhich ones look suspicious to you?07:32
FujitsuThe GL ones.07:32
FujitsuThey're missing xlibmesa-gl-dev.07:32

FujitsuHow odd. gip only has a delta because was rebuilt because of a libsigc++ name change. No actual change.08:49
hereticianHobbsee: Any other Guides you would recommend I move on to AFTER https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html ?08:49
raphinkyes Hobbsee08:49
raphinkheretician: did you read the New Maintainer's Guide?08:49
HobbseeFujitsu: ie, that was the change from debian  to ubuntu?08:49
FujitsuHobbsee, yeah.08:49
FujitsuHobbsee, just a changelog change. Nothing else.08:49
hereticianraphink: Wasnt given that one :P08:50
Hobbseeheretician: then try a package, and refer back to any/all of the guides08:50
raphinkheretician: sure you were, I made a strong point to have it as an introduction of the ubuntu packaging guide iirc08:50
HobbseeFujitsu: okay, cd .. and dpkg-source -x the debian source, and check it builds and installs on edgy.  if it does, then you get to request a sync :)08:50
raphinkat least I think I remember so08:51
hereticianraphink: Hrm, well was it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo08:51
Hobbseeraphink: it's at the end, iirc08:51
FujitsuHobbsee, I haven't got an Edgy pbuilder yet (not enough bandwidth here, I'll build one at school tomorrow).08:51
raphinkheretician: go to the Additional Ressources in the end of the Ubuntu Packaging GUide08:51
raphinkthe first link there is the DNMG08:51
HobbseeFujitsu: okay, nice, did you want me to test build it from here, then you can request a sync if it succeeds?08:52
fowlduckis there an easier way to locate those in the strong set in your area?08:52
FujitsuYes please, Hobbsee. crimsun's probably getting a little tired of testing mine :)08:52
HobbseeFujitsu: heh, he'll probably want to test anyway, if he's going to upload it.08:52
Hobbseeno, wait, if it's a sync, before he acks it.08:53
hereticianraphink: Yup, I see them now-- Well I haven't got to that guide yet anyway08:53
raphinkheretician: this is the reference guide08:53
raphinkfor Debian08:53
hereticianraphink: So many :(08:53

raphinkprolly Debian or Ubuntu people08:55
raphinksince most other projects don't bother with keys08:55
fowlduckthere aren't many in my area08:55

carthikso how do I work to bring my favourite universe package up to date with the latest versions in Debian? Like gmailfs, armagetron etc?10:19
crimsuncarthik: gmailfs is a merge assigned (tentatively) to bmonty10:22
crimsunfeel free to work on it and stash a merged srcpkg somewhere so we can check and upload it10:22
carthikcrimsun, thank you - since it is "taken" i'd rather spend my time elsewhere, I guess.10:25
crimsuncarthik: it's not at all "taken"10:25
crimsunthe assignment is simply "who last touched it"10:25
crimsunit's not at all binding10:25
carthikcrimsun, may I ask where you found info regarding who it was assigned to tentatively?10:26

crimsuncarthik: what do you find confusing about it?10:31
carthikcrimsun, where I can download the gmailfs_0.7.1-6ubuntu1.src.tar.gz package mentioned there to manually check the conflicts?10:32

carthikcrimsun, sorry I just did - I see that grab-merge.sh might help. Thanks.10:33

LaserJockcrimsun: is packages.qa.debian.org working for you?10:40
crimsunLaserJock: no10:40
crimsuncarthik: yes, I compared the Ubuntu delta with the current Debian source package10:40
carthikthanks, crimsun. I'm still very confused with the process, but will experiment a little and learn. For gmailfs - I suppose you'd just do a sync, or do i need to file a bug requesting a sync?10:41
crimsuncarthik: you may file a bug against the gmailfs source package saying it's ok to override Ubuntu changes. Then let a MOTU know the URL so he can sign off on it10:46
LaserJockyep10:47
carthikcrimsun, so is there a recommended place for me to upload the src package to?10:47
crimsuncarthik: you don't need to upload anything for a sync request10:48
imbrandoncrimsun, whats the protocal request http://merges.ubuntu.com/h/helix-player/REPORT is just synced10:48
crimsunimbrandon: file a bug against the helix-player source package saying it's ok to override Ubuntu changes, and let a MOTU know the URL so he can sign off on it10:48
imbrandonk10:48
LaserJockhmm, maybe that might be a good bot item to add10:50
imbrandonLaserJock, probable10:50
imbrandonhrm crimsun it looks like helix ftbs since pre-dapper though ;(10:50
imbrandonnot good10:50
crimsunit will ftbfs on at least a couple arches10:51
carthikcrimsun, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gmailfs/+bug/53177 - what could I do to make it better - should I subscribe any team to it?10:51
UbugtuMalone bug 53177 in gmailfs "Please sync gmailfs" [Untriaged,Unconfirmed] 10:51
crimsuncarthik: yes, normally you would subscribe the 'ubuntu-archive' team10:51
imbrandoncrimsun, it looks like on dapper and edgy ALL arches ftbs ( no binarys except in breezy )10:51
crimsuncarthik: but we request that you don't do that, since a MOTU will do that10:52
LaserJockcarthik: also it is generally good to put what ever specifically to sync10:52
LaserJockumm10:52
LaserJockwhat version specifically to sync10:52
carthikwhoops - I just did that... crimsun. Sorry.10:52
imbrandoncrimsun, can you poke the url and make sure i'm reading this right that there has never been a binary in dapper or edgy that builds ( https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+search?text=helix-player )10:53
crimsuncarthik: yes, we request that you don't subscribe u-a because of possible adjustments, which will spam u-a10:53
carthikLaserJock, thanks, I changed the description to include the version number10:53
carthikcrimsun, I'm sorry, I subscribed u-a before I could read you saying I shouldn't - won't happen again.10:54

tsengdapper is done.11:03
tsengclosed11:04
bluefoxicyit's a matter of debian/rules, not patching or upgrading.  That doesn't fall into -updates?11:04
tsengdoes it really need to?11:05
bluefoxicyIt's not my distro.11:05
tsengthis is pretty niche stuff seeing as we dont have a pax kernel11:05
bluefoxicyBut fixing it gets an executable stack off some 13 things11:05
bluefoxicywell, gaim will have an executable stack on amd64 with gcrypt having an executable stack.11:05
tsengsee11:05
tsengit is your distro, and you could take the effort to fix something11:05
tsengor close your own bug11:05
tsenginstead of just whining11:06
tsengits kid stuff to add a configure flag to a source package and ask for it to be reviewed for -updates11:06
tsengi would ACK it, but i wont do the work11:07
bluefoxicytseng:  nods.  How would I go about doing that?11:07
tsenggrab the source package in dapper11:08
tsengapply your change, build a new source package11:08
tsengand make a debdiff11:08
bluefoxicymake a debdiff?11:08

shawarmaHmm.. I'm just getting started on these merges.. If I find a package that was merged just fine, all I need to do is change the Merge-O-Matic thing in the changelog to my name and e-mail, no?12:05
tsengyou dont need to change it if you didnt change anything12:05
tsengonly if you made notable changes12:05
shawarmatseng: Really? Has this always been the case?12:06
tsengyes.12:06
shawarmaI'm ALMOST sure someone told me to put my own name there instead of MoM back in the breezy days.12:06
tsengyou can change it if you like but there is no reason12:06
shawarmaI think the rationale was that that way it was clear that it had been reviewed (and by whom) and that it wasn't an accidental upload of an automatic merge.12:07
