ash211on the most recent update, apt only wants to update compiz and compiz-gnome, but not compiz-kde01:42

ajmitchin any case, it's an external repository01:43
ash211updating the compiz package will remove compiz-kde01:43
ajmitchit's best for you to ask in #ubuntu-xgl01:43

ryanakcayep, everyone does02:09
LaserJockok, so this is my first reinstall of OS X02:09
ryanakcaI remember, my first install of FC... 3 I think... I had selected full install... 6GB of junk installed...02:10
ryanakcamy science teacher is a big mac fan.. despises windows with a pation :)02:10
LaserJockwith Gentoo I never could get over it :-)02:10
LaserJockthat's why I had to jump ship for Ubuntu02:10

LaserJockI always had > 9 GB of stuff on my Gentoo box02:11
LaserJockand recompiling it all the time was a pain02:11
ryanakcaheh02:11
ryanakca"The computer is your slave, not the other way around" is how I look at Gentoo02:11
LaserJocknot for me02:12
LaserJockI couldn't take it anymore, every time I got KDE done compiling they'd come out with another one to try ;-)02:12
DarkMageZi've been building packages recently, it's great fun, cept when things don't work :(02:12
ryanakcaDarkMageZ: yeah... and then afterwards, when you aren't a programmer, and someone reports a bug..02:13

ubotuThe packaging guide is at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources02:14
DarkMageZnow, that could be useful!02:14
ryanakcaI have my own repos... built with .seveas's software... highly unstable... with big flashy text with warnings and all... legal junk02:14
DarkMageZi have 3 packages sofar. dosbox 0.65 & xchat 2.6.6 & rhythmbox 0.9.5 ( + cvs + ubuntu changes )02:15
DarkMageZcept the xchat package & the rhythmbox package won't install side by side, but hopefully something in the packaging guide will help me fix that02:16
ryanakcaI have 2... typespeed 0.51 (which will never make it into repos), and gnome-clipboard-manager, which I'm waiting for upstream to change the name to clipboard-manager... and I'm working on a finance app02:16

bddebianajmitch: That's not what mutagen does.03:38
bddebianLathiat: bkchem03:38
Lathiatiirc you use --prefix=/usr and make install DESTDIR03:39

LaserJockit just works05:31
welshbytethat bit looks pretty guessable anyway... adds the shared libraries that your package uses as dependencies?05:32
ajmitchuntil it doesn't05:32
ajmitchwelshbyte: understanding the magic behind it is another matter05:32
LaserJockajmitch: sure05:32
ajmitchwhich is sort of what I covered in my talk, all those years ago05:33
LaserJockyeah05:33
ajmitchwhich everyone has gladly forgotten about :)05:33
LaserJockthe problem is you can't get through everything in a reasonable amount of time05:33
LaserJockajmitch: I haven't forgotten05:33
LaserJockajmitch: I plan on using it in the packaging guide05:33
LaserJockat least making sure it covers what you did05:34
ajmitchyou'll want to check on anything mentioned then05:34
ajmitchto check for accuracy05:34
LaserJockI'll want you (and all the MOTUs) to check the Packaging Guide for accuracy05:34
LaserJock;-)05:34
ajmitchof course there are other fun fields to use now05:35
ajmitchlike ${cli: Depends}05:35
LaserJockit's a full time job just keeping up with all this stuff05:35
ajmitchbut if someone is packaging mono stuff they really have to read the cli policy for debian, which is still officially unofficial :)05:35
LaserJockyeah, it seems like there are a lot of unofficial policies05:36
ajmitchand it's your job as MOTU teacher to keep up with them all05:36

micahcowanI'm preparing patches for a package that already has patches through 99 (to 99a, actually). What's appropriate for this? I'm tempted to rename the patch-files to redistribute them better...12:06
thommicahcowan: you have a package with _99_ patches?12:07
micahcowanno... :-( someone went from 63 to 98 (nice, huh?). the package is coreutils, btw.12:07
micahcowanit uses dbs... so I imagine make_patch would tack on a 99b or somesuch... but it seems wrong to just leave it like that...12:09

gnomefreakyeah that she told me12:35
TheMusoRight, well from what I was told, you file a bug against the package, requesting a sync. You ping a MOTU to look at it, they confirm it, and they also subscribe ubuntu archive admins.12:35
gnomefreakyes that is what she told me to do12:35
TheMusoBut you don't subscribe archive admins, as far as I understand it.12:35

=== Hobbsee thinks she looked.
HobbseeTheMuso: check for a sync for that.  if not, then no01:05
TheMusoSomething must be driving me to understand how to package python stuff inside out, because I manage to pick packages that have python.01:05
TheMusoHobbsee: Well there are no bugs filed re sync requests, so I'm guessing not.01:05
TheMusoSyncs are the first thing I check for.01:05

=== Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-motu
derjohnzul, I run it on oneof my servers. please not on desktop, where #packages is times 4 ...01:34
derjohnzul, currently I cannot reconfigure the locales on edgy ...01:35
TheMusoHobbsee: You know there is still a couple of merges there with your name on them?01:35
derjohni'll try the noapic stuff etc. before I consider efting the machine.01:36
StevenKHell, there's a still a few there with my name on them.01:36
HobbseeTheMuso: yeah.  one's being left to lure, and the other one i uploaded yesterday01:36
lucasI was wondering: are you MOTUs running edgy or dapper ?01:36
Hobbseelucas: edgy, almost all the time01:37
TheMusoEdgy01:37
=== gnomefreak edgy
=== Hobbsee had to run dapper for a bit, while the wifi was screwed in edgy. then i got rid of ndiswrapper
TheMusoHow often does that page get updated?01:37
HobbseeTheMuso: it's usually every hour, i think it's less now01:37
TheMusoRight.01:37
ajmitchlucas: edgy on all machines01:37
StevenKlucas: Dapper, with Edgy in 2 chroots.01:38
lucasok, thanks01:38
TheMuso2 chroots?01:38
Hobbseelucas: yeah.  chroots.  dont forget them.  most MOTU's and devs probably ran chroots/pbuilder as soon as edgy was out01:38
HobbseeTheMuso: sure, one for edgy, the other for dapper01:39
ajmitchTheMuso: sure, I have them for i386 & amd6401:39
=== TheMuso did until edgy bootstrapped on install easier.
lucasyes, of course, but I was talking about main system01:39
TheMusoRight.01:39
Hobbseelucas: dual, or tripple boot.  works fine.01:39
StevenKTheMuso: amd64 and i38601:39
TheMusoRight.01:39
StevenKTheMuso: I have six, as a matter of fact - Dapper, Edgy and Sid, each for i386 and amd6401:40
gnomefreaki have a main testing pc but main work pc is on dapper atm01:40
ajmitchStevenK: for some reason I haven't cleaned up my old hoary & breezy & sarge chroots yet01:40
=== StevenK has 2 breezy chroots tarred up.
gnomefreaki guess if i want to package i will have to learn chrrot01:41
Hobbseegnomefreak: or use pbuilder.01:42
=== StevenK still has to fix his pbuilder.
gnomefreakpbuilder sounds easier01:43
HobbseeStevenK: get to it :P01:43
Hobbseeit is.  much01:43
StevenKIts complaining about invalid devices for hardlinks.01:43
Hobbseeyou dotn run into the problem of unclean chroots either01:43
Hobbseeah01:43
TheMusoPbuilder alone may not always help. I still build packages normally, if I want to see where files are being placed, and trace a debian/rules calls to various commands.01:43
=== StevenK hands TheMuso pbuilder login
TheMusoStevenK: I knew about that, but sometimes that is a little quicker.01:44
TheMusoPbuilder does take a while to get everything into place, especially if the package has a lot of depenancies.01:44
StevenKpbuilder doesn't help if you want to run a full machine.01:44
StevenKOr test KDE stuff, for that matter.01:45
=== StevenK shakes his fist at kded and nightmarish friends.
HobbseeStevenK: did you want to check TheMuso's merge, seeing as you were discussing the python stuff earlier?01:45
Hobbseemay as well give someone else a go at the edgy changes list.01:45
gnomefreaki figure id like to get a few merges under my belt before i try packaging01:46
StevenKDamn, I thought TheMuso was a MOTU.01:46
=== TheMuso clears his throat.
ajmitchgnomefreak: you've probably only got a few hours before Hobbsee finishes them all01:46

Gloubiboulgano idea actually...08:19
Gloubiboulgayou can run your mailing app and write a nice mail to upstream asking them to provide a clean tarball :)08:20

siretartif someone wants something uploaded to revu, please ping me.08:32

GloubiboulgaI think that a lot of people were really interested in this session09:10
Gloubiboulgapeople who didn't know who to get started09:10
gnubeI know I was really interested in this, and I have submitted packages to debian already.09:11
LaserJockok, time for a break09:15
LaserJockhehe, about 15 minutes into the session my boss came in and reminded me I was supposed to be doing a fire extinguisher training :-)09:16

LaserJocksiretart: well, it's ok09:20
LaserJockI'd like to see it more compact (+m might help :-) )09:20
bddebianTime to head home. Later folks09:20
LaserJockI had wanted to look at 3 packages09:20
LaserJockbut it took 2 hrs just to get through 1 :-)09:21
LaserJockcya bddebian09:21
crimsunthree is a bit much09:21
crimsunit took me three hours to cover three packages, and that was with an effective audience of two09:21
LaserJockyes, well the last 2 where just quick ones09:22
LaserJocklike mutagen to show what CDBS looks like09:22
crimsunpersonally it's much nicer to field questions as they come in, making it feel more like an actual session09:22
LaserJockbut you really can't do much in 1-2hrs09:23
LaserJockwell, I would have liked to be able to put stuff out and then unmod it09:23
LaserJockand have designated question breaks ;-)09:23
LaserJockbut it works out ok09:23
LaserJockI like having stuff as it comes up09:23
crimsunI'd really like to be able to use a videocast or something09:23
LaserJockbecause I often forget a point09:23
LaserJockand it's nice to have somebody ask a question that reminds me09:24
LaserJockcrimsun: video cast would be interesting as I'm sitting here in lab and my boss was coming in and out09:25

LaserJockI've got 2 presentation at Ubucon next week09:28
LaserJocktrying to work on a "contributing to Ubuntu" doc with lloydinho09:29

LaserJockbut after Ubucon, man I'm going to crash09:30
crimsunwell, take a well deserved break, then09:31
crimsunI had to myself09:31

LaserJockno matter how appealing it sounds some days09:33

Chonsi would like to start contributing with packaging truecrypt. there is already a package by the company itself but it is always out of date. i still got 2 questions. Where can I find out if someone is working on a package for truecrypt yet? And may there possibly a problem with the licence? I am not so keen in legal stuff, but I think that 2. b. might be critical. http://www.truecrypt.org/license.php10:49
=== Gazer [n=gazer@mail.aktiv-assekuranz.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu
ToadstoolChons: looks like the licence prevents truecrypt from being packaged for Debian: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/06/msg00294.html10:53
tseng1. You may copy and/or distribute This Product, provided that You do not modify10:53
tsengany part of This Product10:53
tsengthis is non-free10:53

tsengfor packaging foo10:54
=== tseng reads the definition of The Product
tsengadding new files might be ok10:55
=== Chons reads the debian thread
Chonsok, then according to the debian-thread packaging would be a bad idea as the licence is unclear10:59
tsengI agree10:59
Chonsperhaps they change the licence if I write them about that issue. a bsd licence might work for them11:01
