ryanakcaLaser_away: ummm... dunno... I downloaded the kde pot patch thingy... and I put it in debian/patches/ ... which is what I'm supposed to do (from what I can tell of wiki/MOTU/School/PatchingSources)12:20

Laser_awaygnube: I spend a lot of time here ;-)12:21
gnubeCool.12:22
gnubeMaybe that is one of the reasons Ubuntu is such a great distro12:22
gnubeDedication.12:22
gnubeDebian people can be a little cranky, despite their genius.12:22
LaserJockyes, and especially dedication by the community at large12:22
gnubeLaserJock, Absolutely, but you are a member of that community.12:22
LaserJocksure, and so are you ;-)12:23
LaserJockso I expect you to be here 12hrs a day :-)12:23
LaserJockjust kidding12:23
ryanakcalol12:23
gnubeSome members do more than others, hopefully one day I can contribute significantly as well.12:23
gnubeI do my part, but not quite like you.12:23
ryanakcaLaserJock: learn cdbs?12:24
gnubeIt is really important because packaging is kind of a black art.12:24
LaserJockwell, I think the Ubuntu philosophy is "everybody contribute what you can, and together we can move mountains" ;-)12:24

ryanakcanixternal__: hey... can I delegate you some more tasks?12:25
ryanakcalol12:26
Amaranthi can package python apps using distutils and simple things using gnome-autogen12:26
=== ubotu [n=ubotu@ubuntu/bot/ubotu] has left #ubuntu-motu ["Seveas"]
LaserJockI'm sure there was a time (unimaginable as it seems) when elmo first read the GPL12:26
ryanakcapackaging python = hard12:26
Amaranthryanakca: no it's not :)12:26
tsengpython is one of the easier things to do12:26
Amaranthwell, the new stuff is hard12:26
ryanakcamind pointing me to a wiki/HOWTO12:26
ryanakcaI've got some python apps I want to package :)12:26
Amaranthbut it's just been made as easy as replacing dh_python with dh_pycentral and going12:26
ryanakcaLaserJock: elmo = slomo?12:27
LaserJockryanakca: you don't have to use CDBS but many KDE apps use it12:27

tsengryanakca: ... elmo = elmo12:27
tsengftp-master12:27
Amaranthryanakca: cdbs + distutils used to mean a 1 line rules file, 2 lines if you needed to do patching12:27
LaserJockelmo = James Troup, master of Debian and Ubuntu12:27
tsengLaserJock: not so much of ubuntu12:27
tsenghe is a slowly sysadmin these days12:27
Amaranthnow you need a bunch of crap12:27
LaserJockyeah12:27
gnubeOnce one has a package, as I do, for a tool called Xnee, how does one upload it to Ubuntu?12:27
gnomefreakis packaging harder in general than merges?12:28
tsengwrote himself out of the job :)12:28
ryanakcajust got confused when you were talking about slomo and then talking about elmo12:28

gnubeThanks LaserJock12:29
Amaranthryanakca: review :)12:30
gnubewhy are debian people so mad at Ubuntu? They say that Ubuntu does not give back, but that does not seem like a legitimate criticism since so much can just be taken from Ubuntu.12:30
ryanakcaAmaranth: review :)12:31
tsengdebian has 1000 developers12:31
LaserJockmost Debian people aren't mad12:31
tsengyou cant generalize about their opinions12:31
LaserJockthere are a few very vocal people who dislike Ubuntu12:31

=== tseng too
ryanakcaso have I12:31
gnubeLaserJock, Have you? That is good to hear.12:31
LaserJockyou kinda have to know who to go to though12:31
tsengslomo, ajmitch and I are on the Debian Mono team12:32
LaserJockdebian-mentors is a good group12:32
tsengi wrote the first draft of the debian policy12:32
gnubeI have heard lots of negative stuff, but I suppose I should not blame every DD for that.12:32
gnubetseng, Wha?12:32
tsengwha?12:32
ryanakcaI used Debian for the first 3 months of my linux life... setting up wacom is(or was) a hassle... because you had to compile your own kernel... but other than that... awesome distro12:32
gnubetseng, For real? You wrote debian policy? Wow, cool.12:32
tsenggnube: haha for real12:33
tsengits a draft12:33
gnuberyanakca, I agree, but I have a Dell and debian and Dell are not freinds.12:33

tsengseb128 is on the debian gnome team12:33
gnubeBut, you know what I am going to say next . . . Mono is not Free Software!12:33
gnubeIt is based on Microsoft's C#12:34
tsengI'll try not to hurt you12:34
gnubeI know.12:34
ryanakcaseb128... he's the head of ubuntu-l10n-fr... right?12:34
tsengor are you really lacking clue?12:34
gnubeI expect it.12:34
gnubeI am wearing flame retardent underwear.12:34
tsengit isnt "microsoft's C#"12:34
tsengits an open standard12:34
Toadstoolryanakca: he used to be12:34
tsengincluding Intel, HP12:34
ryanakcaused to?12:34
ryanakcahmmm12:34
gnubetseng, Still, they can change that "standard".12:34
tsengthey can do whatever they want12:35
tsengand we can implement the standard12:35
tsengits standardized by internation standards bodies, not by MS12:35
ryanakcaToadstool: who is it now? Claude Paroz?12:35
Toadstoolryanakca: yeah, too much work with gnome, etc.12:35
tsengif you really don't know this you should keep your opinion to yourself next time12:35
tsengno offence12:35
gnubetseng, But they have some serious influence in those bodies.12:35
tsengsure, they originated the idea12:35
Toadstoolryanakca: hmm, it must be Claude indeed12:36
ryanakcaToadstool: <nocomment>gnome</nocomment>12:36
Toadstoolheh12:36
gnubeNo offence taken, I speak a lot with Georg Greve, rms, et. al, so I have a bit of knowledge about this.12:36
tsengI am not sure what they are going to do maliciously to an open standard of ISO and EMCA12:36
gnomefreakToadstool: ty for helping with the gnomebaker sync request12:36
tseng"we standardize on doing destructive things on linux"12:36
gnomefreakToadstool: if it wasnt you forget i said anything12:37
gnubetseng, They mangled JAVA12:37
tsengJava isnt a standard12:37
Toadstoolgnomefreak: no problem ;)12:37
tsengand microsoft didnt claim to implement something compatible12:37
gnubetseng, Lets not stray to far into semantics here.12:37
tsengI'm tiring of this12:37
gnubeok, fine.12:37
tsengif you wanted to go after WinForms you might have a leg to stand on12:38
tsengRMS FUD against the CLR is unwarranted by all accounts12:38
gnubeWell, maybe you are not _so_ tired.12:38
tsengthis is the same guy with nothing better to do but show up at a talk by ati employees and protest12:39
gnubeYou mean rms?12:39
tsengyes.12:39
gnubeHe has worked tirelessly for freedom. He is not the only voice, but he is an important voice, and often he is right.12:39
LaserJockanyway...12:40
gnubeFree Software is really, really important. More important than Fspot or Beagle.12:40
gnubeI'll stop now, perhaps this is not the correct forum.12:40
LaserJockit's a bit OT12:40
gnuberight. :)12:40
LaserJockand I doubt any minds are going to be changed today ;-)12:41

LaserJockwell, I'm I don't know the whole history of FLOSS etc.12:43
tsengits my opinion that rms was a leader 20 years ago and expects top billing to this day12:43
tsengas an example12:43
LaserJockbut I think 90% of users would take Fspot and Beagle any day12:44
LaserJockI don't know the details12:44
tsengone of his lackies just suggested on the gnome-docs list that every instance of Linux be changed "to GNU/Linux or just GNU"12:44
LaserJockbut it seems like Mono is open source, that's good enough for me12:44
LaserJockof course12:44
tsengi need to find the strings in question12:44
tsengit pinpoints the idiocy12:45
LaserJockI've gotten that a few times12:45
tsengthese are really obscure12:45
LaserJock"Ubuntu" has to be "Ubuntu GNU/Linux"12:45
tsengyes, well12:45
tsengthat was the kind of thing people see12:45
LaserJockwhich I still don't get but oh well12:45
tsengimo we might as well call it GNOME/Linux12:45
tsengif you went by lines of code12:46
imbrandonKDE/Linux <evil grin>12:46
imbrandontseng: just teasin a bit, yea i see your point and totaly agree12:47
LaserJockKubuntu KDE/Linux12:47
tsengGNOME/KDE/MOZILLA/Linux12:47
imbrandonand actualy it should be Linux/GNU since GNU are the base tools ( in some caes ) and linux is the kernel ;)12:47
tsengwhatever.12:47
LaserJockanyway, I've seen both Linus and RMS say some pretty dumb things12:47
LaserJockbut I respect what they've done12:48

LaserJocktseng: can you explain this at all?12:53
LaserJockI want to write about the reasons12:53
LaserJockwhy the GNOME Project was started, and about the danger of "Open12:53
LaserJockSource", which constantly threatens to bury the Free Software ideals12:53
LaserJockand turn them into something completely different and insignificiant.12:53
LaserJockopen source is a threat to free software?12:54
tsengso12:54
tsengopen source refers to being able to download the source code, generically12:54
tsengFree Software is more specific12:54
tsengguaranteing certain freedoms12:54
LaserJockah, hmm12:54
tsenggenerally standardized by OSL or DFSG12:55
tsengboth written by the same guy, actually12:55
tsengvery roughly the right to modify and distribute without certain other restrictions12:56
tsenggpl has restrictions on this, but its still free.. where it gets complicated12:57
=== tseng looks for doc
LaserJockright, becuase I could say "you can download the source code, but you can't modify it"?12:57
tsengyes, obviously non-free12:57
LaserJockbut is that open source?12:57
crimsunyes12:57
LaserJockk12:57
tsengbecause you got the source code12:57
tsengits "open"12:57
tsengopen source doesnt guarantee anything12:58
crimsunnow consider this: "you can download the source code and modify it, but you can't distribute your modified source code"12:58
tsenghttp://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines12:58
crimsune.g., djbdns12:58
tsengthis is what you should cite12:58
tsenghttp://www.opensource.org/12:58
tsengand this12:58
crimsunyou obviously don't want either example we just talked about :)12:58
tsengyeah djb is a nut12:59
LaserJockyeah, I mean I've read the DFSG, I just didn't get why you would would have non-free open source12:59
tsengbecause you are a weirdo01:01
tsengand don't like the terms of the GPL/BSD/etc01:01
LaserJockhmm, well http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php seem like more than, "you can get the code"01:01
tsengwell, hello confusion01:02
LaserJockmhm01:02
tsengopensource.org defines something close to DFSG01:02
LaserJockyeah, it says at the bottom01:02
tsengmost of the stuff should probably be called Free01:03
LaserJockthat it is DFSG-(debian specific stuff)01:03
tsengas people identify that with something specific01:03
tsengopen source is not always specific01:03
tsengDJB-ware could be "open" source01:03
LaserJockI just avoid saying "free software" because people think it's just $0 cost01:03
tsengcrimsun can correct me if im at all confusing01:03
tsengFree with a capital f01:03
tsengLibre also01:04
LaserJockyeah, I suppose that's true01:04
LaserJockI like FLOSS01:04
LaserJockit keeps my teeth clean and everything ;-)01:04
LaserJocksorry, bad joke01:04
tsengno, you don't01:04
tsengJump to: navigation, search01:05
tsengFree/Libre/Open-Source Software, or FLOSS, is an alternative term for free software. It is used by those who wish to be inclusive or who do not want to take a side on whether "free software" or "open-source software" is a better term, although neither side has shown much enthusiasm for the term "FLOSS".01:05
LaserJockwell, I like FLOSS except I have to explain it all01:05
tsengsorry if im not being helpful, its a pretty fine line most of the time01:06
LaserJockbecause I really couldn't care less what specifc term they use01:06
tsengright01:06
LaserJockI want to be able to tell my family what it "means"01:06
tsengbut you want DFSG free01:06
tsengwhatever they call it01:06
LaserJockyes, I think so01:06
tsengyou just don't froth at the mouth over it01:06
LaserJockexactly01:06
tsengwe're on the same page01:07
tsengfrothing at the mouth includes demanding that DFSG is called "Free" and not "Open"01:07
tsengCritics have said that the term "open source" fosters an ambiguity of a different kind, in that it confuses the mere availability of the source with the freedom to use, modify, and redistribute it.01:08
tsengfrom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source01:08
tsengis the crux of it01:08
tsengas we said before somethings called Open don't meet the standard for Free01:09
tsengsometimes, the author just isn't interested in the word debate01:09
LaserJockI suppose, to me "open source" should be that DFSG goodness that is on http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php01:09
tsengthat would be nice01:10
LaserJockbut again, I'm not particular what you call it01:10
=== tseng neither
LaserJockanyway, I get what's going on now, thanks01:10
tsengas for GNOME, its always been Free01:10
tsengbut I talk to miguel every day and he doesn't often get frothy-mouthed01:11
LaserJockso if I get some cool stuff from http://www.cafepress.com/opensourcestuff am I likely to get impaled?01:11

Hobbseeah.  it builds it as root, even though you arent actually root.02:35
=== Hobbsee shrugs
Hobbseepbuilder is the better way to do it02:35
ryanakca:)02:35
=== ryanakca would have thought running something as root even though you arent actually root as a security risk...
Hobbseeno, it's not that kind of idea02:36

ryanakcaah, kk02:37
=== Hobbsee catn explain things this early in the morning!
ryanakcamorning??? it's 8:35PM!02:37
neutrinomassryanakca: It just tells debuilder to ignore the fact that you are not root , from what I know. This is so that it can pass the "are you root?" test that fails when you try to apt-get source -b <package> without being root ...02:37

neutrinomassI'm trying a package with upstream tarball named schur-6.01_20060810.tar.gz and I'm getting some dh_make problems - is it ok if it is changed to schur-6.01.tar.gz ?02:47
crimsunno02:48
crimsunthat would be misleading02:48
crimsunwhat vcs does it use?02:49
gnomefreakty Hobbsee :)02:50
crimsunmany people use name_version.vcs.isodate.orig.tar.gz02:50
crimsunfor instance, xserver-xgl_7.0.0.git.20060725.orig.tar.gz02:50
neutrinomassNot sure... none I think02:50
neutrinomassthe 20060810 is the release date02:50
neutrinomassSo it's only a problem if they decide to release another 6.0102:51
ajmitchit's also common to use x.y.z~date02:51
ajmitchwhere x.y.z is the next version02:51
bddebianIf a source package has two tarballs (one for the data) but the data tarball doesn't have a license file, is it safe to assume it's the same license as the application?02:52
crimsunno.02:52
bddebianSo what do I do?  Do I have to contact upstream?02:53
crimsunyes, at least for verification if not also to get upstream to slap the licenses in the data tarball02:53
bddebianDamnit, I don't know why I try to do anything..02:54

crimsun(I supposed 'have' in the context of being mirrored, etc., right. 4.0.14's on incoming.)06:16
bddebianajmitch: Yes.  I am asking him why he downgraded the standards version from the package we have in Edgy on his merge?06:17
bddebianDamnit, looks like scourge is out for now :-(06:18
ajmitchbddebian: because he did this for dapper06:18
ajmitchthe last upload of it was done before dapper was released06:18
bddebianAh, hmm06:18
ajmitchand he probably took the version from debian-policy in dapper06:18
bddebianI told ya I shouldn't be doing this stuff :-)06:19
=== ajmitch accepts no excuses

nixternalNewer version synced from Debian. Archiving this upload. Thank you!06:26
ajmitchTheMuso: checking jfbterm now06:28
=== StevenK thinks he did jfbterm at one stage.
ajmitchStevenK: just another sync being requested06:28
bddebiannixternal: No worries :-)06:29
ajmitchStevenK: you mustn't have uploaded06:30
StevenKAh, no, it was fbiterm06:30
ajmitchTheMuso: confirmed06:31
TheMusoajmitch: thanks06:32
=== StevenK waits for offlineimap to make it way through incoming.

TheMusoStevenK: You guys talking about debian?06:37
StevenKajmitch: Oh yes, Soyuz is good.06:37
=== bddebian curses ajmitch for getting him started on these damn REVU packages :-)
ajmitchoh yes06:38
ajmitch01:31 < Keybuk> it could be worse, it could be designed by a launchpad developer06:38
ajmitch01:31 < Keybuk> --force --force-harder --FORCE --FORCE-FORCE-FORCE06:38
ajmitchgood alright06:38
Hobbseehaha yeah, i saw that :P06:38
ajmitchbddebian: it's appreciated06:38
=== StevenK wonders about the context for that.
micahcowanWould a MOTU be interested in looking at bug 45930, on the joystick package?06:38
UbugtuMalone bug 45930 in glibc "jstest SEGFAULTs with usb joystick" [Medium,Unconfirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/4593006:38
bddebianajmitch: Oh yeah, by whom? :-)06:39
ajmitchbddebian: by me of course06:39
micahcowanIt's a minor issue, but one that has annoyed some of us who would like to use jstest on USB gamepads. A debdiff is there.06:39
ajmitchStevenK: discussing sudo, and then the fun of launchpad06:39
StevenKAh06:39
=== ajmitch wonders why that bug is against glibc as well
micahcowanIt absolutely should nto be ajmitch: it's just that some people's errors refer to glibc... :-)06:40
ajmitchthen I'll reject the glibc task06:40
ajmitchmicahcowan: so is it sane to just not print any names if the number is out of range?06:41
micahcowanajmitch, well, the number's not just out of range: they're all zeroes (and meaningless). But the way jstest works, it assumes the button name values are all over N, and uses (value)-N to get the index into an array of text names...06:42
ajmitchhow annoying06:42
micahcowanit may well be that there /was/ a kernel issue as well, but that's no excuse for sloppy coding in jstest, I would think.06:43
ajmitchbut is this just a workaround for that?06:43
ajmitchhm06:43
micahcowanWell, I'm not familiar with the kernel code, so I can't profess to know what jstest /should/ expect to get from the device... only what it does get, in the case of USB gamepads and the like. :/06:43
ajmitchother crackful stuff in this package, like build-depends-on-build-essential build-depends06:44
micahcowanhuh.06:44
=== StevenK twitches.
StevenKI remember a DD who did that.06:44
micahcowanYeah, and no patch system, so the debdiff I submitted was a direct change to the souce.06:44
ajmitchStevenK: looks like it could be06:44
micahcowanIt could be that more information from upstream would be in order, to ascertain whether my fix is more of a workaround than a true fix.06:45
ajmitchthat's pretty special, having build-essential in there06:45
micahcowan(btw, thanks for having a look)06:46
ajmitchbuilt fine, I'll upload - patch seems somewhat reasonable06:49
micahcowanthanks, ajmitch. :-)06:49
ajmitchclose the bug with 'fix released' once it's in the archive06:49
micahcowanare you talking to me? I can't close bugs... :/06:50
ajmitchyou should be able to06:50
TheMusomicahcowan: You can.06:51
micahcowanOh. Maybe I can, then. :)06:51
ajmitchclick on the joystick (Ubuntu) task06:51
ajmitchyou should be able to change status there06:51
=== TheMuso is glad that launchpad renders ok i elinks.
=== TheMuso is not glad however that elinks doesn't always handle file uploads properly.
micahcowanYeah, I sorta just assumed I didn't have the ability.06:51
TheMusoIMO thats its only problem.06:51
micahcowanelinks', or launchpads?06:52
ajmitchmicahcowan: you can change status but not importance06:52
micahcowanright... I agree with that thinking. :-)06:52
micahcowanthough, as someone pointed out in motu-school the other day, it might be nice to be able to mark your own bug as "wishlist"... :-)06:52
ajmitchyes06:53
=== ajmitch can do that on gnome bugzilla
bddebianBah, I'm going to bed.  Gnight folks06:55
bddebianajmitch: I'll try to hit more REVU stuff tomorrow06:55
ajmitchdelegation is a good thing :)06:56
micahcowanajmitch: I installed literally the 1ubuntu2 version of joystick that I submitted a debdiff for... when it hits the archive, will I still get an update notification?06:57
ajmitchnot really, since there's a delay between the upload, the source getting published, and binaries built+published06:58
=== triceratops [n=tricerat@dyndsl-085-016-019-079.ewe-ip-backbone.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu
micahcowanOh. How will I know when it hits the archive (and, to rephrase my earleir question, will I get an update when it's available, given that it's the same "version")?06:59
ajmitchyou probably won't know, and you may get an update07:01
ajmitchsource is accepted, at least07:01
ajmitchmight as well just close the bug now07:03

ajmitchyes I saw that there was a new directory there08:40
ajmitchdo we still use scripts in /srv/revu1/scripts ?08:40

matidHi, what are the guidelines for bringing a new package from debian into the universe?05:04
matidShould I follow the syncing guides?05:04
Gloubiboulgamatid, yes, you need to test if it builds fine in ubuntu, and then request a sync05:07
Gloubiboulgaor merge it if some changes are needed05:07
matidOk. If there is no need for changes I should left the release as it is (not ubuntu* suffix)?05:08
Gloubiboulgaif there's no change needed just open a bug on LP, asking for a sync05:10

bmontymatid: sync requests usually take a couple of days...depends on when they get processed05:41
matidbmonty: Who processes them? MOTUs?05:42
bmontymatid: no, the archive admins...look at the team members for the actual people05:42
bmontymatid: I think you are refering to merging....requesting a sync is one outcome of that05:43
matidbmonty: Ok, and what's the procedure of merging? Let's say I took an updated package from Debian, applied the changes from previous ubuntu* release and want it to be merged.05:44

welshbyteLaserJock: happy anniversary :)10:00
LaserJockI don't see any mention of it in the logs10:00
LaserJockmy concern about the whole Enthusiast thing is that we have no mechanism for seperating that10:01
LaserJockperhaps Hopeful is not the right term10:01
LaserJockbut we only have MOTUs and non-MOTUs10:01
LaserJockubuntu-dev and ubuntu-universe-contributors10:01
bddebianAnd us lackeys10:02
imbrandon_do we realy NEED to seperate it, afaik its the hopefulls jobs to present his case ( with cheering ) if wanted to move to the next step(s) .....10:02
LaserJockwell, the idea is that there might be some people who want to help, but don't want to become MOTUs10:02
LaserJockwhich I can see10:03
LaserJockand so MOTU Hopeful gives the conotation that you are just doing your time until you can make MOTU10:03
imbrandon_exactly so they would follow the same proceedures as a hopefull ( the hopefull then takes it one bit further by documenting )10:03
LaserJockright10:03
imbrandon_no changes in proceedure to seperate their efferts , its upto THEM to seperate10:04
imbrandon_IMHO10:04
LaserJockso I see where the idea of the MOTU Enthusiast would come from10:04
LaserJockbut I don't think we have a basis for seperating that10:04
imbrandon_right10:04
LaserJockthe only difference between a MOTU Hopeful and a MOTU Enthusiast is one would apply for ubuntu-dev and the other wouldn't10:05
