[01:06] minghua: normaly you would just as a MOTU to ack it and they will subscribe u-a if nessesary [01:06] ask* [01:07] imbrandon: I see, so some MOTU need to build it in edgy and ack it? then it can be subscribed to u-a? [01:07] minghua: yup [01:07] minghua: aren't you a MOTU? [01:07] he is [01:07] it seems I should write a wiki page about this procedure [01:07] all he needs to do is sub ubuntu-archive [01:07] LaserJock: yes, but I don't have a edgy environment to build it [01:07] imbrandon, thanks Ill see if they know anything [01:07] ohh your a motu ? heh /me dident know [01:08] so I think I should play it safe and ask another MOTU to ack it? [01:08] not necessary [01:08] as a member of ubuntu-dev, you're already trusted for it [01:08] not really since there wasnt a delta [01:08] just sub u-a [01:08] and your golden [01:09] imbrandon: a MOTU without an edgy environment is not even as good as an ordinary user :-) I appreciate your help [01:09] hehe dchroot ?

[01:30] yea then you'll probably have to ask him about it [01:30] you talking about makein a page for syncs like MoM ? [01:31] LaserJock, it doesnt mention anything about openoffice is there a way to check the chain of dependencies of packages it does require in a tree fashion to see what requires openoffice? [01:31] well, what was that script that Q-FUNK was talking about [01:31] hikenboot: you can do apt-get rdepends to see what depends on that package [01:32] I'll ask him at some point. [01:33] what is this automated system Fujitsu is trying to implement? [01:33] from context it looks like related to wiki? [01:35] I think Fujitsu is trying to automate sync requests, right? [01:35] some of them atleaste [01:35] MOTU/Processes/SyncRequests sounds good? [01:36] LaserJock, imbrandon: ^^^ [01:36] looks ok to me [01:36] minghua: ok, and what are you going to put on there? [01:36] LaserJock: the contents of those emails i would imagine [01:36] telling how to file syncs [01:36] LaserJock: what I just asked from the channel [01:37] k, sounds good [01:37] we really, really, really need to clean up our wiki [01:37] yes, what imbrandon said, and that your need a MOTU to ack it, then subscribe the bug to u-a (these are not explained in the mail) [01:37] we have over 100 wiki pages [01:38] waaay too much [01:38] well the MOTU will sub the u-a ( but your a motu so you could do it ) hehe [01:38] most of them are outdated [01:38] LaserJock: yea i did some cleanup a while back and grew bored so i took a break and never went back [01:38] bad imbrandon brad [01:38] bad* [01:40] we need to really redo our MOTU/ page as well === camh [n=camh@xionine.xdna.net] has left #ubuntu-motu [] [01:41] imbrandon: does launchpad forbid a non-MOTU to subscribe u-a to a bug? [01:41] no, it doesn't, which is not necessarily a good thing [01:41] minghua: no but its a good idea to let the MOTU do it once its been acd'd so it dosent spam the u-a list with changes === minghua figured that launchpad won't be so smart :-P [01:41] imbrandon: sure, I'll make that clear on the wiki [01:42] yesterday we were discussing bringing a resolution before the TB that would permit Debian maintainers to request syncs without an MOTU ACK [01:42] crimsun: that sounds good to me, as i have atleaste 2 maintainers that email me when they ask for syncs to ack them [01:43] crimsun: that only applies to packages without ubuntu specific changes, I suppose? [01:43] s/maintainers/DD's === minghua is sad at imbrandon's correction :-( [01:43] I wonder if it might be a good idea to put some effort into LP-interaction scripts [01:43] as far as I know DDs already have that understanding [01:43] (I could be misled, of course) [01:44] i dunno, i always do it just becouse we ( me and them ) thought it was required [01:44] heh [01:44] I've been checking Launchpad and the wiki, I am trying to find a page of requested packages for Ubuntu. Is there a page devoted to this? [01:44] its always packages without ubuntu deltas [01:45] yep, straight syncs [01:45] jsmidt: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/Candidates ?? [01:46] imbrandon, that would be it, thanks [01:46] the more general one being https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New [01:46] check WNPP in Debian first [01:46] and mentors === redguy_ [n=mati@adp44.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:47] Back... [01:47] LaserJock, I am not sure how to interpret the results of the rdepends it contains a symbol similar to | does this mean an either or dependency or somthing? [01:47] crimsun, I have checked wnpp, I've filled a few of those requests already [01:48] (it would be slightly overkill to file them in Ubuntu, then) [01:49] we need to shift from NEW to bugfixes. It's already getting really late. [01:49] really [01:49] I'm thinking it would be a good idea to have something like SyncRequests embedded in MoM, so MOTUs can say `I'm doing this', or `This isn't possible because main is frozen and this depends on a new package in main', or general comments/statuses like that... That way people can tell if a MOTU has already looked at the package and deemed it not possible to merge/sync, and thus minimise work duplication. === Tonio_ [n=tonio@94.8.100-84.rev.gaoland.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:50] crimsun, I guess that is true, I am just trying to get my bearing around the Ubuntu side of things. So you guys out all the package requests in wnpp? [01:51] Or is that where people are told to request packages for Ubuntu too? [01:51] jsmidt: if the package doesn't already exist in Debian (also not in WNPP), then it makes sense to request in Debian first [01:52] people do also request in Ubuntu, but, personally, encouraging it to be filed in Debian first benefits all Debian-based distros === minghua wonders why the wiki editing page has a link to HelpOnFormatting but not HelpOnEditing [01:54] where can I report a bug against wiki? [01:54] isn't the wiki editable? [01:56] minghua: bug the doc team about it [01:56] there might be a reason for it [01:56] it's the same for wiki.debian.org AFAIK [01:56] probably a wiki default? [01:56] LaserJock: aren't you in the doc team? ;-) [01:57] crimsun: no, I am talking about the page with an editing window when you do the actual editing [01:57] I don't think that's a page can be edited by mortals [01:57] anyway that's a minor issue [01:58] minghua: yes, but I dont do a lot of wiki work [01:58] LaserJock, I am not sure how to interpret the results of the rdepends it contains a symbol similar to | does this mean an either or dependency or somthing? === lupine_85 [n=lupine@nick.lupine.me.uk] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:03] hikenboot: most likely , | means or [02:07] crap, my edit got lost when I tried to preview and the preview page doesn't load and I pressed my browser back button === minghua curses slow net connection [02:08] are you on a nice 28.8 kbps dialup like I am?

[02:22] it is? [02:22] or the revu list? [02:22] the revu one, sorry [02:23] e.g. 12:37 today - [Motu-reviewers] [-------] [02:23] ah yes, the revu one does seem to get a lot [02:24] maybe it's on Microsoft's ML hitlist [02:24] "what?!? we can't allow community contribution in Linux!"

[02:44] i keep one i "use" the rest are play machines ;) [02:44] well, I spend ~12 hrs of my day on OS X [02:45] but even if it was Ubuntu [02:45] I wouldn't "use" it really either [02:45] all I do is develop [02:45] my work doesn't really demand computer use [02:45] and I'm never home [02:45] heh [02:45] so the only reason I'm on a computer is to work on Ubuntu [02:46] from osx ;) [02:46] yep [02:46] hehe [02:46] ssh is your friend [02:46] but since I ssh into my Ubuntu boxen, I'm technically working on Ubuntu too [02:46] yea heh [02:46] I have one work computer that I have edgy on that I use for pbuilding [02:47] when i'm on osx its with a brower running and a terminal, everything else i run from ssh [02:47] browser* === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:47] well, I'm sad to say it in a way, but I really like OS X [02:47] Why do you guys use OS X? [02:47] Ah.. [02:47] Why? [02:48] I use OS X basically because my advisor bought everybody in the lab an iMac [02:48] Fujitsu: honestly? its a no hassle *nix box, stuff "just works" [02:48] and kinda expects us to use OS X [02:48] Ow.. [02:48] I'm probably more productive on OS X [02:49] ubuntu is very very very very close to just working though, but thats why we are here , to make it that way ;) [02:49] it's fast, looks nice, has all the features I need, lots of open source software [02:49] I'm far more productive on a Debian-based distro, because I'm at least partly familiar w/ its(their) quirks and workarounds [02:49] yeah [02:49] plus it gives you good perspective to use other os's once in a while [02:49] it's taken me 6months+ to get used to OS X [02:49] for instance, I don't even use bash completion; I just use asterisks [02:49] heh crimsun in that respect i'm lost on windows [02:50] well, windows is absolutely horrible at work [02:50] It's great, I can't bear to use Windows. The command-line functionality is almost NULL, and it's just so inflexible.

[04:14] imbrandon: I'm sure that's crossed Mark's mind [04:14] heh probably [04:15] mp3 IP probably wouldent be that expensive ( relitively ) but i bet adobe want a penny for flash [04:15] mhm [04:16] wasnt a pretty penny* [04:16] wants , gah i give up [04:16] LaserJock: your sure it's not a BSD thing instead of OS X thing?

[06:16] Um, we seem to deal. [06:16] exactly [06:17] Canonical pays some of the core developers, and it doesn't affect how much you and I want to contribute. [06:17] imbrandon: I don't know precisely. I'd love to see it in dapper-commercial (alongside sun's, for instance) [06:17] i mean dont get me wrong, if canonical ever had a contract that i could fullfill i would jump on it, but thats not why i do this day to day === StevenK goes out to get a late lunch [06:17] later StevenK [06:18] crimsun: yea really, maybe we could poke someone about it next week [06:18] ( someone that could make the contacts etc ) [06:18] it would be great for ppc users at least [06:18] yup [06:18] its realy the only java worth anything on ppc [06:21] Well, Joey certainly is entitled to his opinion. I find that it's nice to offset my "day job" from Debian+Ubuntu tasks. Heck, I even pledge to dunc-tank because I have as much of a desire to see Ubuntu succeed as I do Debian. [06:22] It's pathetic that people choose to malign Ubuntu. I don't know of people involved with Ubuntu that malign Debian. [06:22] crimsun: ++ [06:23] crimsun: yea , i mean he can, hell we call can, i can even see him saying he dosent have the time/desire/whatever anymore, hell most of us are volenteers , but to say becouse someone else is getting payed that you wont do it is just wrong imho , it means to me that you were doing it for the wrong reasons to begin with [06:23] I think that article today was pretty crappy. [06:23] whiprush: what one ? [06:23] I think debian today is stronger than ever. [06:23] the one about debian dying [06:24] I utterly disagree about Debian dying. Organisational shifts != death throes. [06:24] i dident see that one, but i dont think that for a second, debian looks strong to me, its in a bit of upheaval but all groups go though that , dosent make them weak or dyeing [06:24] crimsun: ++ [06:24] crimsun: I agree [06:24] http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS7543606709.html [06:24] that's the article [06:24] thanks [06:25] , yea i think i'm gonna though some of my thoughts on my blog tonight [06:25] I'm of the opinion that things like ubuntu made debian popular [06:25] i havent bloged in a while [06:25] and hanging out with debian guys [06:25] I think the project is the healthiest it's been in a long time [06:25] so I don't know what that guy's problem is [06:25] i dont know much about its past but i do see it as very strong atm [06:26] past as in pre 1 year ago [06:26] before ubuntu I was using debian for years. [06:27] to say debian is "dying" right now is just some dude wanting web hits [06:27] i admit i was a suse guy for the most part, but , well it sucked lol [06:27] sure, there are issues, but there have always been issues [06:27] till the last year or so [06:27] eve3ry distro has issues [06:27] and always will be [06:27] diversity normally translates to healthy progress [06:27] exactly look at gentoo atm, they are in more turmoil than debian but i dont think they are dying either [06:28] the thing is linux web sites always look for conflict [06:28] that's how they sell web hits. [06:28] bad news is good news ;-) [06:28] yea [06:28] indeed [06:28] maybe s/linux//g ;-) [06:28] heh [06:29] I think that's the general rule for journalism? :-) [06:29] two years ago I got wasted with David Nusinow at mako's place, just having a good time. [06:29] no one cares about that [06:29] or how dave worked with guys like daniel to do X stuff for ubuntu [06:29] because it's not popular [06:29] people would rather run stories about how debian and Ubuntu hate each other [06:29] which is crap. [06:30] or people like me who came to know Debian through Ubuntu and now I think Debian rocks [06:30] exactly [06:30] LaserJock: I am the other way around. [06:30] LaserJock: ++ [06:30] i'm in LaserJock shoes i came to know debian through ubuntu [06:30] and dont see why all the fuss tbh [06:30] I can see some of why [06:30] LaserJock: I still consider myself a debian user, though I use ubuntu, and I've met some really kickass debian developers and got to work with them on stuff. [06:31] but in the end people just need to suck it up and do their work [06:31] LaserJock: yea i see SOME of it, there are always problems , but not to the extent of hate [06:31] I think it's really crap that some people use the differences between the projects to make a rift between them. [06:31] yeah [06:31] yea [06:32] the important thing for me personally, was when I realized that DDs opinions are the opinions of all DDs [06:32] aren't [06:32] whiprush: because conflict sells [06:32] rather [06:32] When I go to a show I drink with DDs and Ubuntu people. [06:32] I always have the feeling that many of the bad words in Debian are really against people instead of things [06:32] I always kind of considered Ubuntu, the "desktop" arm of Debian [06:32] Burgundavia: yeah, but screw those people. [06:32] there seems to be old feuds [06:32] what really gets me too is you dont see them ( as in the nay-sayers not all of debian, i have met alot of kick ass DD's ) saying the same thing about xandros, freespire,knoppix,etc etc etc [06:33] bddebian: I consider ubuntu a nice server arm of debian too. === amachu [n=amachu@125.22.67.144] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:33] whiprush: Well I haven't delved there too deeply so I can't do that :-) === lastnode [n=lastnode@unaffiliated/mahangu] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:33] I don't even know what to consider Ubuntu [06:33] yea more like a nice ootb debian [06:33] bddebian: I have lots of ubuntu servers [06:34] imbrandon: That's a better perspective [06:34] people just enjoy stirring up stuff ;-) [06:34] (I'm just as guilty) [06:34] mhm [06:34] I try not to for sure [06:34] i try not to, i cant say i never do, hell i think i started this convo LOL [06:35] heh [06:35] we're all human , but , man some things just hit me wrong [06:35] well, maybe it's not so much stirring things up that's the problem === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:35] as it being a constructive thing [06:35] I feel like in Ubuntu things often get stirred about [06:35] but the goal being to have a stronger product at the end [06:36] I've always believed if you end up making each project hate each other that you end up failing everyone. [06:36] yea , true, alot of its how you handle the stired pot [06:36] whiprush: no other spinoff has "threatened" the core constituency of Debian in the same way [06:36] Burgundavia: I've never met a Debian person IRL claim that. [06:36] whiprush: no, but there is "news" there [06:36] IME most of them are happy accepting patches [06:37] i dont even think its the majority of debian i think its a __loud minority__ imho [06:37] Burgundavia: and that's crap. [06:37] imbrandon: guess what [06:37] joejaxx: ?? [06:37] imbrandon: i built fluxbox1.0rc2 yesterday [06:37] into a deb [06:37] Burgundavia: it's bullshit, a minority of people are pissed, we shouldn't use that as a measure of what to do. [06:37] joejaxx: congrats ;) [06:37] well really like this morning [06:37] imbrandon: thanks [06:37] a minority right now want to eject the DPL ffs. [06:38] lets keep it construtive guys ........

[06:39] imbrandon: because i think i might have removed that application in the process of cleaning Fluxbuntu [06:39] crimsun: oh ok [06:39] depends i know some, not a light weight one, like , umm inkscape does etc === caravena [n=caravena@226-162-223-201.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:40] crimsun: well i still have to take care of the "no man page for Fluxbuntu-generate_menus warning [06:40] imbrandon: well i mean bu default in ubuntu for scalable images [06:40] joejaxx: no i'm not sure [06:40] I think we need to keep to http://alcopop.org/log/2006/09/22/#grass and we'll be fine [06:41] imbrandon: oh alright [06:42] LaserJock: wow , i've not seen that, that makes me happy [06:42] crimsun: i was planning on upgrading to 1.0rc2 after edgy released anyway so i could upgrade everything together [06:42] and sad at the same time [06:42] crimsun: so i think i will wait [06:42] Gnight folks [06:42] gnight bddebian [06:42] bddebian: goodnight :) [06:42] :\ [06:42] joejaxx: he's fast ;) [06:43] yeah [06:43] LaserJock: who's blog is that [06:43] imbrandon: hopefully once i get my foundation firm for building package maybe i will try and join motu [06:44] joejaxx: sure ;) i'll be happy to help you do that when you want , as i have time etc etc etc , plus the other guys in here are great, hang out , learn from other peoples questions etc [06:44] it helps alot ;) [06:44] ok ;) [06:44] imbrandon: Alexis Sukrieh on planet.d.o [06:45] re [06:45] imbrandon: sorry that's wrong [06:45] btw everyone if you havent met joejaxx he is the driving force right now behind fluxbuntu ( fluxbuntu.org ) ;) take a bow joejaxx [06:45] imbrandon: it's Jon Downland [06:45] hiya joejaxx === Toadstool back from his first football game, it's so boring :p [06:46] real football or soccer? ;-) [06:46] football :) [06:46] LaserJock: ahh [06:46] LaserJock: hello :) [06:46] poor Toadstool [06:46] it's weird for me to call that football [06:46] LaserJock: right now i am building mBuild1 Revision 2 [06:46] my football is soccer :p [06:46] nBuild1* [06:47] I love football but I hear many people from other countries don't [06:47] :-) [06:47] football is not bad, it just uses a wrong name :-) [06:47] yea baseball, then american football ;) [06:47] joejaxx: cool, so do you intend to get all the fluxbuntu packages in Universe? or are they already [06:47] joejaxx: bug 62120 [06:47] Malone bug 62120 in fluxbox "Please sync fluxbox 0.9.15.1+1.0rc2-1 (universe) from Debian experimental (main)" [Untriaged,Unconfirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/62120 [06:48] joejaxx: you may wish to subscribe to that bug [06:48] LaserJock: he plans to , just for edgy+1 , he got started a bit late for edgy [06:48] is there a fluxbuntu-desktop, etc.?

However, it recently moved to use autotools, rendering the old, manual, partially debhelper debian/rules entirely useless.

He responded saying he would immediately orphan that package, as he loathes autotools.

[01:11] Fujitsu: im not sure what you mean [01:11] the package itself obviously has to meet strict requirements [01:11] you need to file an ITP (intent to package) bug [01:12] No, it'd be an ITA in this case... [01:12] and find a willing sponsor to help you continue to get your work into the archive [01:12] But I mean, I don't have to be a DD or anything. [01:12] no, but you need one [01:12] Noted. [01:12] Fujitsu: we have DD's in this channel, so shouldn't be to hard :-) [01:13] Nafallo, I know :) [01:19] In fact, the old maintainer has already talked to another DD about it, who's happy to sponsor my upload.

[11:09] list [11:09] right [11:10] channel too, but probably less so [11:10] it is a bit daunting, and people frequently get told they're OT [11:10] going into it I would think -devel ML would be about talking about the dev release [11:10] when in practice it is for developers to talk to each other, it seems [11:10] I have no idea what is OT for -devel [11:11] it is practically about the dev release [11:11] but not about problems with the dev release [11:11] or requests concerning the dev release [11:11] no, bug reports are forbidden :) [11:11] if there's a spec that should be discussed, it's appropriate [11:11] but you have to know that it's a bug report in the first place [11:12] but there are a *lot* of poor-quality specs [11:12] where they [11:12] where they just have a paragraph of a feature request [11:12] not a specification [11:13] it'll make it hard to filter through the good ones for mountain view [11:13] well, that's some of what I'm talking about [11:13] people have questions and we just shove them to LP or specs without much guidance [11:14] IMO at least === Fujitsu [n=Fujitsu@ubuntu/member/fujitsu] has joined #ubuntu-motu === ivoks [n=ivoks@ubuntu/member/ivoks] has joined #ubuntu-motu === sgozz [n=fabio@host78-172-dynamic.6-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:16] I agree [11:16] 'file a bug', 'write a spec' [11:16] mhm [11:17] Gah. Stupid stupid close UniverseFreeze. [11:17] & then bug triagers have to go through & request relevant info later [11:17] Fujitsu: there you are [11:17] like version info, distro [11:17] Hi tseng. [11:17] hi [11:17] gnome-web-photo [11:18] would you mind getting that into debian? [11:18] The package? [11:18] yes [11:18] Erm, OK, if you say so.

I'm not quite sure of the details. This delay is likely to be of about a week, which puts it past UniverseFreeze. [11:22] I try to go on the forums a fair amount [11:22] Fujitsu: that's not a great hurdle [11:22] LaserJock: I'm sorry [11:23] LaserJock: i feel for you [11:23] from a dev perspective there is some serious misinformation out there [11:23] ajmitch, what should I do? Wait until UniverseFreeze is up, and get an exception? Or upload it as -0ubuntu1? Or what? [11:23] it won't get better unless people give out correct info [11:23] LaserJock: and people dont listen when you try to explain the "right way" they are like this "hax0r script works" its discouraging [11:23] from my experience in Chinese debian forums, there is always misinformation [11:23] many times the appreciate it [11:23] (or is the plural for forum fora?) [11:24] Hahh. [11:24] some obviously don't, but it really isn't that bad [11:24] it's just time consuming [11:24] like email, for me [11:24] Fujitsu: upload it, sync it afterwards [11:24] LaserJock: usually the atmosphere of a forum depends on the attitude of the most vocal ones [11:25] LaserJock: I sometimes try & correct people, which is usually telling them to file bugs with correct info [11:25] ajmitch, OK. I would have uploaded it earlier, but it changed the build system to CDBS, and that's obviously frowned upon unless Debian does it. [11:25] and there are people that "just don't get it" and keep giving out misinformations [11:25] Fujitsu: explain the reasons in your sponsorship request & it should be fine [11:25] OK, thanks :) [11:25] ahh the _loud minority_ [11:25] stikes again [11:25] as long as you have the same package with different version [11:26] imbrandon: always === ajmitch just prefers to work on packages === imbrandon likes his picture of a "dapper drake" in the last post on p.u.c [11:27] I can't stand the forum. === caravena [n=caravena@223-45-112.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:27] ajmitch: exactly, i tried for a long time, might try again someday but for now i dont wanna mess with the forums [11:28] take too much time for too little return ( for me ) [11:28] for example, just look at automatix [11:29] ugh [11:29] lol === minghua is glad to find out automatix is not featured on www.ubuntuforums.org any more === imbrandon should do a search for "automatic","checkinstall","add this 3rd party repo" , and see how many posts are left without them [11:32] minghua: it's not? [11:33] LaserJock: apparently not. from what I see in http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=46 [11:33] I guess EasyUbuntu is there but not Automatix [11:33] heh forums rock! [11:33] lots of people still us it, including Ubuntu reviewers :/ [11:33] yes Easy Ubuntu is there [11:33] I heard easy ubuntu is the "good" automatic script? [11:34] I think their probably equivalent these days [11:34] s/their/they are/ === minghua sighs [11:35] all of these requests in the forum is not the proper place [11:36] the thing is the forums have a very large audience and it is what many of the users see as Ubuntu [11:36] scarey isnt it [11:37] well there are some users just weird [11:37] I saw a post on the Chinese forum a few days ago asking for an English forum about Debian, and explicitly says he hates mailing list [11:38] probably just as most irc'rs hate forums [11:38] except irc'ers have just cause [11:38] yea [11:38] tseng, yeah. [11:38] phhh [11:38] I don't think that's really the case [11:38] I do [11:38] it's different media [11:38] I don't think either is "better" [11:38] Forums are inefficient. [11:39] show me any medium where misinformation spreads faster than a forum [11:39] that same weekness is also it's power [11:39] Left wing media? === bddebian hides [11:39] Let's ban IRC from Ubuntu development, and see what happens. Let's see how much misinformation gets around. [11:39] the funny thing is it can be most compared to a ML and ML dont seem the have that problem [11:39] imbrandon, that's true. [11:39] imbrandon: yep. [11:39] it's totally different then IRC or ML [11:40] its different because its worse [11:40] clearly so [11:40] sorry [11:40] whatever [11:40] I think that's total crap, but that's ok ;-) [11:40] I understand what you're saying [11:40] well its totaly diffrent than irc i give you that but a ML has alot in common with forums , they started out as the same thing and evolved [11:41] I'd take forums (properly run) over a ML anyday [11:41] I prefer IRC over them both though for most things [11:41] but it is nice how /most/ misinformation is stifled on a ML and OT is also but not so on forums [11:42] that's a function of moderation and having knowledgable people [11:42] not the media itself, IMO [11:42] LaserJock: 100% correct but we dont have that [11:42] atleaste not to the scale it is required for the forums [11:43] but that's not the media's fault [11:43] Just nitpicking here, but the singular form of media is medium :P [11:43] LaserJock: partly so it is, becouse it is time consuming , and the people that are able to do so cant [11:43] put the time into it [11:43] devs, in general, don't like forums so you don't find them there [11:43] forums are cr..p [11:44] Fujitsu: I know :-) [11:44] LaserJock: and that IS the forums fault, it dosent make it easy for the devs or other knolageable people to direct the flow of information [11:44] thus giving the misinformation the same wieght as the good stuff [11:45] and thats whats bad [11:45] ml are better than forums cause you can choose you app for communication [11:45] hehe [11:45] I don't think a ML is any better that way === LaserJock grumbles about Reply-To headers :-) [11:45] actualy what i honestly like and what i think we need to workon in the semi long term is ML and forum intergration, i have seen it done and it works out great [11:46] it was done on the forums for a while -users and -devel I think [11:46] but it seemed totally confusing to me [11:46] anyway, I don't want to pick a fight or anything [11:46] it's late for excuses [11:46] and I am very disappointed in ubuntu forums at times [11:46] :) [11:47] nah , we all know each other and we all have our opinions ;) nothing personal heh [11:47] imbrandon, -users at least was integrated for a while, and it didn't work fantastically. [11:47] but I hate MLs so I guess maybe that's my problem [11:47] :-) === Fujitsu hugs IRC. [11:47] mhm [11:48] LaserJock: hm, did you try sorting mailing lists in you inbox? [11:48] sure [11:48] i mean, forum needs to many clicking... [11:48] I just don't like email in general [11:48] ah... that's the problem [11:48] you don't like email [11:48] :) [11:48] it's very inefficient to me [11:48] ivoks: that's why we have procmail :) [11:48] ajmitch: right [11:48] procmail ++ [11:48] mm procmail [11:48] I have procmail and mutt going right now [11:49] though it's not the most intuitive of configurations [11:49] but that doesn't help me like ML any better ;-) [11:49] wc -l .procmailrc [11:49] 116 .procmailrc [11:49] tiny [11:49] brandon@enterprise:~$ wc -l .procmailrc [11:49] 85 .procmailrc [11:49] very tiny [11:49] that's quite a bit bigger then mine [11:50] oh i have mine split into files [11:50] :) [11:50] and source them [11:50] imap+procmail = jackpot [11:50] that's what I do to, I don't know why though [11:50] heh i have a mental filter [11:50] haha [11:51] I'm not sure why people would like email over forums, is it a GUI thing? [11:51] or just being used to it? [11:51] it flexibility [11:51] Can somebody please try connecting to ubuntu-ca.org port 22? I can't connect. [11:51] pop->gamil->fetchmail->procmail->imap == love [11:51] imbrandon, I leave out the gmail bit. [11:51] there is more difference in forum vs ml than just transport level [11:51] Fujitsu: doesn't work === ryanakca [n=ryan@unaffiliated/ryanakca] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:52] ivoks, OK. [11:52] And Burgandavia is away for the week :( [11:52] tseng: sure, but I find forums easier to get at larger amounts of data [11:52] and easier to get through the info [11:52] LaserJock: you use thread view in mutt, don't you? [11:52] although you tend to have less noise [11:52] minghua: yeah [11:52] LaserJock: then... you miss icons? :) [11:52] no [11:53] in my opinion thread-view single-handedly beats forum [11:53] I do like that I can use any browser anywhere to get the forums [11:53] i don't know... i never tought in the way "mail vs. forum" [11:53] I haven't seen a proper thread view in forum yet [11:53] LaserJock: well... i can do that with mail too :) [11:53] LaserJock, I can do that with mail too [11:53] Damnit. [11:53] :) [11:53] Lag. Annoying. [11:54] Lack of fast build machine, annoying :( [11:54] heh, i can even telnet to my server and read mail [11:54] And it goes down right before universe freeze, of course. [11:54] sure, I know you *can* I just like browsers better then mail clients maybe [11:54] anyway, I hardly post on the forums anymore anyway so it's kind of a stupid conversation [11:54] LaserJock: ok; i can read my mail with telnet, mail clients and browsers :) [11:55] :-) [11:55] but I think I've probably sent fewer emails to ML then posts to forums :/ [11:55] my emails alway get ignored [11:55] I get no feedback [11:56] seems LaserJock is the single minority here, and as he doesn't use forum these days anyway... :-) [11:56] I really must learn to speak IMAP at some point, as POP3 and SMTP isn't enough these days. [11:56] minghua, haha. [11:56] well, but I don't ignore them outright [11:56] Fujitsu: then you would be able to say "I speek english, german, french and imap" === imbrandon shouldent but does [11:56] having 200,000 users can be a powerful thing [11:57] when I gave a MOTU School Session [11:57] I posted a forum thread announcing it [11:57] and about half the people that showed up were from the forums === Fujitsu thinks the debdiff shouldn't be hanging. [11:58] forums can be good, but ours are wildly out of control [11:58] *that [11:58] LaserJock: however I still doubt how much did the forum users benefit from it [11:58] true [11:58] I don't expect an MOTUs out of that group exactly [11:59] my general expression is: you mention something on forum, there is going to be a long discussion, much hot air, but in the end no help come and nothing get done [11:59] but as far a communicating to users it is a powerful thing [11:59] you mention something on mailing list, you get mails from prospective collaborators, and patches [11:59] minghua: much like {ubuntu,debian}-devel [11:59] ;-) [11:59] LaserJock: can't deny the communicating to users part [12:00] well, I figure ubuntu-devel is a bit better than d-d [12:00] that's the part I'm interested in [12:00] forums are horrible for dev work [12:00] LaserJock: and if you thin debian-devel is too much hot air, you should read debian-vote :-) [12:00] but in ignoring them they have created their own dev people [12:00] Anybody got any ideas why an strace of dpkg-source -x whatever.dsc would be showing it hanging, looping infinitely over these two calls: [12:00] read(3, "gpg: ", 4096) = 5 [12:00] read(3, "waiting for lock (held by 15913 "..., 4096) = 53 [12:01] who create Automatix, etc. [12:01] what REALLLY REALLLY makes me mad is when a bug is filed and points to a forum post instead of giving the summerized information needed [12:01] imbrandon, yeah, that's annoying. [12:01] imbrandon: "wontfix" :) [12:01] LaserJock, the forums are really an entirely different community. Very few people go between them. [12:02] Which means we get Automatix and co. [12:02] exactly [12:02] which I see as a problem [12:02] but something which I can do very little about [12:02] Fujitsu: dpkg-source is supposed to check the signatures of the .dsc, but it should fail gracefully if it can't authenticate it [12:02] minghua, it's just hanging waiting for process 15913 to release the lock on something... But that process hasn't existed this boot. [12:03] anyway, I try to look in the devel subforum now and then and try to post something if I see something totally wrong [12:03] but that's about all I can do [12:03] ... devel subforum!? [12:03] forums and IRC are time suckers [12:03] That's just wrong. [12:03] why? [12:03] there is a devel subforum ? [12:03] of course [12:04] Because none of the developers go there often, it's just silly [12:04] they have always had a suforum for the development release [12:04] Oh. [12:04] yippe skippe...xen-image-xen0-2.6.17-1-generic_2.6.17-1_i386.deb [12:04] Development /release/. [12:04] zul, yay. [12:05] uggh [12:05] Gah. People reporting wengo broken dependencies.. [12:05] I give up :-) [12:05] In the forum. === Arrogance [n=aks@ottawa-hs-64-26-148-142.d-ip.magma.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu
