| Lutin | Fujitsu: even if wa can't provide patches ? | 12:12 |
| Fujitsu | Lutin: wa? | 12:12 |
| === micahcowan [n=micah@user-11fa6td.dsl.mindspring.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Lutin | Fujitsu: we | 12:12 |
| Fujitsu | Why can't we provide patches? And what's that got to with the packaging? | 12:13 |
| Lutin | Fujitsu, if I'm pacakging something from cvs, to have clean source tarball, I need to run make distchekc, right ? | 12:14 |
| Fujitsu | Yes.. | 12:14 |
| === minghua is not sure all upstream releases we shipped has run make distcheck ;-) | ||
| minghua | and hi Fujitsu | 12:15 |
| Fujitsu | Hi minghua. | 12:15 |
| Lutin | Fujitsu: and if we need to make changes on the makefile.am to have it passing make distcheck | 12:15 |
| Lutin | we can't provide patches for that, as it's not part of the deb build process | 12:16 |
| Fujitsu | I'm not sure exactly what the policy with CVS exports is, maybe somebody else can shed some light on it. | 12:17 |
| Adri2000 | can I remove the "Depends" line in debian/control for a -data binary package? | 12:17 |
| crimsun | that would be silly. | 12:17 |
| Fujitsu | Adri2000: Why? | 12:17 |
| Fujitsu | (that was a no) | 12:18 |
| crimsun | what use is a foo-data package without its corresponding foo? | 12:18 |
| Adri2000 | because it's like that in the xmoto package | 12:18 |
| crimsun | then xmoto should be fixed | 12:18 |
| Adri2000 | crimsun: foo-data should depends on foo? | 12:18 |
| Adri2000 | -s | 12:18 |
| crimsun | unless it's truly an independent foo-data, yes. Need to look at the specific context. | 12:19 |
| Adri2000 | my -data package contains all the images needed by the program | 12:19 |
| mr_pouit | imo, Recommends would be enough :/ | 12:19 |
| crimsun | so if someone installed your foo-data, what would they gain without foo? | 12:20 |
| crimsun | is foo-data usable without foo? | 12:20 |
| Adri2000 | beautiful images :) | 12:20 |
| crimsun | and what is foo? | 12:20 |
| Adri2000 | homebank | 12:20 |
| Adri2000 | http://homebank.free.fr | 12:21 |
| crimsun | I'm not convinced foo-data would be value-add without foo | 12:21 |
| crimsun | but sure, you could demote it to a Recommends | 12:22 |
| minghua | crimsun: there is an argument about avoiding circular dependencies | 12:22 |
| crimsun | yes | 12:22 |
| crimsun | I was just going to cite that | 12:22 |
| minghua | (I assume foo depends on foo-data) | 12:22 |
| crimsun | cf. vlc and vlc-alsa | 12:22 |
| crimsun | you'd have foo Depend on foo-data but foo-data Recommend foo | 12:23 |
| mr_pouit | yes | 12:23 |
| minghua | and Enhance foo | 12:23 |
| minghua | we really should use Enhance more | 12:23 |
| Fujitsu | Enhance is a valid relation? | 12:23 |
| crimsun | yes | 12:23 |
| Fujitsu | Wow. | 12:23 |
| Fujitsu | I've not once seen that used. | 12:23 |
| crimsun | on the other hand, you also have to consider whether it really makes sense to break out the images into a separate package | 12:24 |
| Fujitsu | Isn't that somewhat like Suggests? | 12:24 |
| minghua | no, enhance is the other way | 12:24 |
| Adri2000 | it seems really confused for the existing packages, some recommends, other depends | 12:24 |
| minghua | a suggests b usually means b should enhance a | 12:24 |
| Fujitsu | minghua: Oh, of course. | 12:24 |
| Fujitsu | Silly me. | 12:25 |
| === Fujitsu attacks packages.debian.org. | ||
| Fujitsu | It hasn't updated in at least 4 days. | 12:25 |
| Adri2000 | crimsun: the images/ directory is 1,8M | 12:25 |
| minghua | Adri2000: and how large is everything else? | 12:25 |
| Fujitsu | Isn't the limit 2.5M or so? | 12:25 |
| crimsun | pssht, limit. :-) | 12:26 |
| Adri2000 | 3,3M homebank-3.2/ | 12:26 |
| Adri2000 | 1,8M homebank-3.2/images/ | 12:26 |
| minghua | I won't split if I am the maintainer | 12:26 |
| Fujitsu | The limit for /usr/share in an architecture-specific package is 2.5MB, AFAIK. | 12:26 |
| Fujitsu | So you should be fine with just one package. | 12:26 |
| crimsun | I wouldn't split images simply because it doesn't make any sense | 12:27 |
| minghua | Fujitsu: I don't think there is a hard limit, just guidelines, I believe | 12:27 |
| Adri2000 | just to have arch-indep separated from arch-dep | 12:27 |

| fbond | crimsun, interesting factoids I thought you might have an opinion on: | 02:30 |
| fbond | usbfs is getting mounted correctly on my edgy system with no changes to /etc/fstab | 02:31 |
| fbond | it is being mounted under /proc/bus/usb (I had been told it should be mounted under /dev/bus/usb ... ?) | 02:31 |
| fbond | it is mounted when the udev rules trigger the midisport firmware to be loaded | 02:31 |
| crimsun | good | 02:32 |
| crimsun | that's the correct thing | 02:32 |
| crimsun | I don't know if it will go away or stay | 02:32 |
| fbond | neat; I will still mention it to Scott | 02:33 |
| fbond | the other thing, and I'm not sure exactly what to make of this: | 02:33 |
| fbond | the firmware doesn't get loaded properly the first time udev is started, at boot time | 02:33 |
| fbond | I have to explicitly restart udev for it to do the right hting | 02:33 |
| fbond | s/hting/thing/ | 02:33 |
| fbond | obviously some delay before the hardware is ready ... ? | 02:33 |
| === rpedro [n=rpedro@87-196-34-195.net.novis.pt] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| crimsun | nope, that's the precise issue I'm talking about | 02:34 |
| crimsun | you don't need to restart udev | 02:34 |
| crimsun | you just need to unplug and replug the device | 02:34 |
| fbond | well, either will work... | 02:35 |
| crimsun | [after /dev/bus/usb is mounted] | 02:35 |
| fbond | /proc/bus/usb? | 02:35 |
| crimsun | the issue is that the fw loader isn't getting a correct reference because /dev/bus/usb isn't mounted | 02:35 |
| crimsun | /proc/bus/usb is deprecated | 02:36 |
| crimsun | you need to use /dev/bus/usb instead if you're going to use fstab(5) | 02:36 |
| crimsun | all supported ubuntu kernels (2.6.1[2579] ) do this properly with the fstab(5) syntax | 02:37 |
| crimsun | (err, well I suppose 2.6.19 isn't supported yet) | 02:37 |
| fbond | ok. then /proc/bus/usb shouldn't be getting auto-mounted ... ? | 02:37 |
| crimsun | no, it's fine if it is | 02:37 |
| crimsun | it's likely legacy support, but you'll want to check w/ Scott | 02:37 |
| fbond | ok, but /dev/bus/usb needs to be mounted prior to udev being started? | 02:37 |
| fbond | is there some document that explains any of this stuff? | 02:38 |
| crimsun | no, either /proc/bus/usb or /dev/bus/usb (latter preferred) prior to the _firmware loader_ being executed | 02:38 |
| fbond | the firmware loader gets executed when udev starts if the device is plugged in at boot time | 02:38 |
| fbond | ( right ?) | 02:39 |
| === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| crimsun | it's executed when the rule executes it | 02:39 |
| crimsun | SYSFS{idVendor}=="0763", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2806", \ | 02:39 |
| crimsun | RUN+="/usr/local/share/usb/maudio/madfuload -l -3 -f /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/ma006100.bin" | 02:39 |
| crimsun | that's my /etc/udev/rules.d/91_maudio_dfu.rules | 02:39 |
| crimsun | (well, not all of it) | 02:40 |
| fbond | but ... doesn't udev actually trigger that ? | 02:40 |
| fbond | kernel -> udev -> rule ? | 02:40 |
| crimsun | udev processes the kernel event; it doesn't trigger it | 02:40 |
| crimsun | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30920/ is the rule file | 02:40 |
| fbond | kernel events that happen prior to udev starting get processed by udev when udev starts ... right? | 02:41 |
| fbond | so, usbfs needs to be mounted prior to udev starting ? what am I missing here? | 02:41 |
| crimsun | usbfs does not need to be mounted prior to udev starting | 02:42 |
| fbond | oh ... the event will trigger when usbfs is mounted? | 02:42 |
| fbond | if usbfs is not mounted when udev is started, when does the event trigger? | 02:42 |
| crimsun | no, when the plug event occurs | 02:42 |
| fbond | and if the device is plugged in prior to power up? | 02:42 |
| crimsun | so sometime after the driver for the usb controller is loaded | 02:42 |
| fbond | oh | 02:43 |
| fbond | I don't think the midisport devices work like that... | 02:43 |
| === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| crimsun | they do | 02:43 |
| fbond | the driver doesn't recognize them until _after_ the firmware is loaded, I think.... | 02:43 |
| crimsun | which "driver" are you referring to? | 02:43 |
| fbond | snd_usb_audio | 02:43 |
| crimsun | right | 02:43 |
| crimsun | before the firmware is uploaded, they're seen as holding devices | 02:44 |
| fbond | ok, we're stepping outside my realm of understanding... | 02:44 |
| crimsun | once the firmware is uploaded, the firmware loader will issue a bus reset | 02:44 |
| fbond | i see | 02:44 |
| fbond | so it's a simple usb-serial device that triggers the whole process ... ? | 02:45 |
| crimsun | there used to be a bug prior to 2.6.8.1 | 02:45 |
| crimsun | yep | 02:45 |
| fbond | interesting | 02:45 |
| fbond | this I can understand | 02:45 |
| crimsun | a bug reset would freeze the machine | 02:45 |
| crimsun | s/bug/bus/ | 02:45 |
| fbond | ew .... not good | 02:45 |
| fbond | I didn't start using my midisport with Ubuntu until after 2.6.12 | 02:45 |
| crimsun | no. we used to have to boot into Windows, get the firmware loaded, then warm reboot into Linux | 02:46 |
| fbond | ug | 02:46 |
| crimsun | yes, fun for the entire family and then some | 02:46 |
| fbond | heheh | 02:46 |
| === chrisj [i=tortoise@conference/ubuntuconf/x-330e51a5e7a3b045] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| fbond | ok, so as long as /dev/bus/usb is mounted in /etc/fstab, everything will work out just dandy? (I thought I tried that, but now I'm not so sure)... | 02:47 |
| crimsun | either /proc/bus/usb or /dev/bus/usb, yes | 02:47 |
| crimsun | the latter is preferred | 02:47 |
| fbond | terrific, I have an updated README.Debian that should work fine for now ... | 02:48 |
| fbond | although I hope for OOB support for /dev/bus/usb in feisty; will speak with Scott about this. | 02:48 |
| fbond | crimsun, one more thing: | 02:51 |
| fbond | as far as Scott is concerned, is the solution changing the default /etc/fstab ? | 02:51 |
| crimsun | fbond: unlikely, though I certainly can't (and won't) speak for him | 02:52 |
| fbond | ok, I will just see what he thinks... | 02:53 |
| fbond | thanks for your input | 02:53 |

| superm1 | Simon80, revu | 06:14 |
| Simon80 | even though it's straight from latest cvs? | 06:22 |
| superm1 | well from CVS no... | 06:22 |
| superm1 | we should get a regular package in first | 06:22 |
| superm1 | and then if there is a justifiable reason | 06:22 |
| superm1 | for CVS | 06:22 |
| superm1 | and its proven stable and such | 06:22 |
| Simon80 | well, when I have time I can backport it, 3.9's not bad, the question would be copyright issues, what with it being a DDR clone | 06:22 |
| Simon80 | I dunno | 06:22 |
| Simon80 | not sure how that gets treated | 06:22 |
| superm1 | well the app is GPL | 06:23 |
| Simon80 | MIT, actually | 06:23 |
| superm1 | oh it is | 06:23 |
| Simon80 | yep, cept for libmad | 06:23 |
| superm1 | i havent looked that cloesly | 06:23 |
| superm1 | i was toying with packaging it myself for a bit | 06:23 |
| superm1 | and got caught up with other things | 06:23 |
| Simon80 | yeah, took me four evenings, haha | 06:23 |
| superm1 | well scratch that off my todo list then :) | 06:23 |
| Simon80 | cause it's my first, cause it takes a year to build, no free time, and um, need to make it homedir friendly | 06:24 |
| Simon80 | mostly cause I was learning how to package though | 06:24 |
| Simon80 | I can do rpm and ebuilds, but that was my first deb | 06:24 |
| superm1 | well an acceptable solution for now can just be to make it writable by a user with in the "games" group | 06:24 |
| superm1 | or something | 06:24 |
| Simon80 | yeah | 06:24 |
| superm1 | and then all people in the games group can write to /usr/lib/games/stepmania | 06:25 |
| superm1 | or somethign | 06:25 |
| superm1 | like that | 06:25 |
| lophyte | wait... | 06:25 |
| lophyte | stepmania is available for linux? | 06:25 |
| Simon80 | hahaha | 06:25 |
| superm1 | hehe | 06:25 |
| superm1 | yup :) | 06:25 |
| lophyte | sweet! | 06:25 |
| superm1 | long time no see lophyte | 06:25 |
| Simon80 | http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~sruggier/files/apt/ | 06:25 |
| lophyte | now all I need is a PS2->USB converter that works with Linux and I'm set | 06:25 |
| lophyte | indeed :) | 06:25 |
| lophyte | how's it going | 06:25 |
| Simon80 | yeah, I got mine from lik-sang, you shouldn't have driver issues | 06:25 |
| superm1 | been busy with myth stuff when i have free time | 06:26 |
| superm1 | we have a team going now, but its taking off slowly | 06:26 |
| Simon80 | anywho, if anyone wants to, it should be pretty easy to backport my changes | 06:26 |
| Simon80 | only 2 code patches | 06:26 |
| superm1 | what do you mean by changes? | 06:26 |
| superm1 | what kind of stuff did you change | 06:26 |
| Simon80 | err.. hard code dlopen path, a bunch of lines to look in home dir and /usr/share/games/stepmania for data | 06:27 |
| superm1 | oh okay | 06:27 |
| Simon80 | and then there's my rules file | 06:27 |
| Simon80 | nothing huge | 06:27 |
| superm1 | nothing major then | 06:27 |
| Simon80 | no | 06:27 |
| superm1 | this should be fairly compatible to 3.9 then | 06:28 |
| Simon80 | the thing I did different from other distros is they add a line to "Mount" a folder in your home dir to "/" of stepmania's wierd filesystem abstraction, but I changed that to mounting subdirs , and mounting the /usr/share/games/stepmania dir to "/" | 06:28 |
| superm1 | i can tell you though already, be sure to include a bit more about the MIT license in there and what distribution it allows | 06:29 |
| Simon80 | eh? | 06:29 |
| superm1 | the copyright file is fairly important | 06:29 |
| Simon80 | well, I install it with the package, afaik | 06:29 |
| superm1 | ah yes | 06:29 |
| superm1 | Docs/Licenses.txt | 06:29 |
| superm1 | well when this is submitted to revu, a motu may still not be satisfied with this | 06:29 |
| superm1 | because the copyright file is supposed to be downloadable seperate from the package | 06:30 |
| Simon80 | oh | 06:30 |
| superm1 | to read exact details about the license its under | 06:30 |
| Simon80 | hehe, see, I have things to learn | 06:30 |
| superm1 | well i'm still learning too | 06:30 |
| Simon80 | oh, I see, you mean like, docs/COPYRIGHT | 06:30 |
| superm1 | just a virtuous teaching cycle | 06:30 |
| superm1 | the other thing too - that i was holding off on packaging because is that the data and source are different archives for 3.9 | 06:31 |
| superm1 | so you will have to have two seperate archives | 06:31 |
| superm1 | with seperate debian/rules | 06:31 |
| superm1 | and seperate source packages | 06:31 |
| Simon80 | well, I avoided that by checking out cvs sources and making one package | 06:31 |
| Simon80 | you can do that with 3.9 | 06:31 |
| Simon80 | I dunno how to make multiple binary packages yet either, I can learn but I don't have enough time | 06:32 |
| superm1 | that *should* be acceptable "rolls eyes" | 06:32 |
| superm1 | if there are any MOTUs in the room that can speak up for this right now it'd be good | 06:33 |
| superm1 | oh and something else too | 06:33 |
| superm1 | the version number your using wouldnt be acceptable | 06:33 |
| Simon80 | yeah, for cvs | 06:33 |
| superm1 | well more so for the suffixes missing | 06:34 |
| Simon80 | oh, ubuntu1? | 06:34 |
| superm1 | it needs to be UPSTREAM-0ubuntu1 | 06:34 |
| Simon80 | how do you handle cvs versions? | 06:34 |
| superm1 | the 0 constitutes that its not in debian and the ubuntu1 for the first ubuntu version | 06:34 |
| superm1 | there was chatter about that a week or two ago, but i dont remember what the exact consensus was on it | 06:34 |
| Simon80 | hehe | 06:34 |
| superm1 | let me see if i still hvae that chat log | 06:34 |
| Simon80 | well, I know about that, but this package wasn't just gonna get uploaded, I initially just wanted to share it so people can give me tips like this, and also to allow ubuntu users the chance to get stepmania running | 06:35 |
| Simon80 | the reason I didn't do 3.9 is cause I selfishly wanted to try the cvs code out | 06:36 |
| superm1 | well its important to get the version numbers right even on personal builds | 06:36 |
| superm1 | so that if people use it and then it gets added to ubuntu later | 06:36 |
| superm1 | they can "upgrade" still | 06:36 |
| Simon80 | yeah, it's true.. but that's more about the upstream version | 06:37 |
| superm1 | so say if you have a patch for a package that is at 3.0-1ubuntu3, you should name it 3.0-1ubuntu3unofficial1 | 06:37 |
| superm1 | yea | 06:37 |
| superm1 | well the logs aren't on this machine, and i dont have access to my other machine where i'm at | 06:38 |
| superm1 | can you think of a package that uses a CVS snapshot? | 06:38 |
| Simon80 | ffmpeg | 06:38 |
| Simon80 | but that's at 0.cvs.. | 06:38 |
| Simon80 | with an epoch of 3 | 06:39 |
| superm1 | i still dont personally understand the epoch thing.... | 06:39 |
| superm1 | or better yet how that works in the versioning scheme | 06:39 |
| Simon80 | it's an override if you need to force upgrade even though the actual version "seems" lower to dpkg | 06:40 |
| === Plug_ [n=crb@203-167-190-117.dsl.clear.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Simon80 | so if upstream changes ver scheme, you can still have it look like an upgrade | 06:40 |
| Simon80 | any other use of it is frowned upon | 06:40 |
| superm1 | so its kinda like a hack then to move up the scheme when you mess up the version to start :) | 06:40 |
| Simon80 | well, not you, the upstream | 06:41 |
| superm1 | well ttf-freefont | 06:42 |
| superm1 | 20060601cvs-6 | 06:42 |
| superm1 | so the checkoutdate | 06:42 |
| superm1 | cvs | 06:42 |
| superm1 | and then regular revisioning | 06:42 |
| superm1 | and there are plenty of packages that dont even add that cvs to it | 06:42 |
| Simon80 | I'm thinking there's no standard, as long as users will get the upgrade when you switch to a release ver | 06:42 |
| superm1 | yea thats what i'm gathering scrolling through synaptic too | 06:43 |
| superm1 | i think there was just a personal MOTU preference that someone brought up then when this came up | 06:43 |
| superm1 | do you know if this builds on amd64? | 06:44 |
| === awbassett [n=awbasset@206.135.97.35] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Simon80 | uhhhhhhh... not off the top of my head | 06:45 |
| Simon80 | I'll look at the ebuild for 3.9 | 06:45 |
| superm1 | mkay, just wondering since you used architecture any | 06:45 |
| superm1 | and i've got an amd64 sitting at an appt | 06:45 |
| === minghua [n=minghua@ppp-70-246-27-66.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Simon80 | oh, um... yeah, oops I guess? | 06:46 |
| Simon80 | yeah, gentoo says ~x86 ~zmd64 ~ppc ;D | 06:46 |
| Simon80 | amd* | 06:46 |
| superm1 | okay cool then | 06:46 |
| superm1 | thats great to hear | 06:46 |
| superm1 | how stable is this checkout that you got? | 06:47 |
| superm1 | stable enough for usage? | 06:47 |
| Simon80 | stable enough to have fun :) | 06:47 |
| Simon80 | but there is some prefs weirdness | 06:47 |
| superm1 | hehe, but no crashes or what not right? | 06:47 |
| superm1 | oh | 06:47 |
| Simon80 | ummmm | 06:47 |
| Simon80 | lol | 06:47 |
| Simon80 | well, graphics crash which is I believe not stepmania's fault, I'm on r300 | 06:48 |
| Simon80 | ...err.. r200 too | 06:48 |
| Simon80 | didn't bother to see if q3 crashes too.. on restart of context or whatever | 06:48 |
| Simon80 | and the sound options seems to crash it | 06:48 |
| Simon80 | but 3.9 was fine | 06:48 |
| Simon80 | I did useit, just not debbed | 06:49 |
| superm1 | well at this point, i'd really like to see this submitted as a package on revu. if you do the checkout at 3.9 | 06:49 |
| superm1 | i can help you modify it to break into several packages | 06:49 |
| superm1 | so that there would be a stepmania and stepmania-data | 06:49 |
| Simon80 | yeah | 06:49 |
| Simon80 | heh | 06:49 |
| Simon80 | there's not really much data, but yeah, that makes sense, cause the binary is arch dependent | 06:50 |
| superm1 | if you've got the time, i can walk you thru, if not, i'll grab your sources and go thru it myself in the next coming days | 06:50 |
| Simon80 | well, I'll do it sometime, but if you're in a rush, better do it yourself, otherwise give me a week if that's ok | 06:50 |
| Simon80 | not that I need a whole week, it's prolly a quick job | 06:50 |
| superm1 | well i've got a few other things that i wanted to clean up packaging wise first | 06:51 |
| Simon80 | if I can keep my home dir stuff... otherwise I'll do the home dir in the one line mount that gentoo uses | 06:51 |
| superm1 | that i've got on my plate | 06:51 |
| Simon80 | ok | 06:51 |
| superm1 | are you on #ubuntu-motu often? | 06:51 |
| Simon80 | first time | 06:51 |
| superm1 | ah | 06:51 |
| Simon80 | I'll keep coming on though | 06:51 |
| Simon80 | already in dri-devel | 06:51 |
| Simon80 | often | 06:51 |
| superm1 | well seems you picked up pretty quickly on this for a first package | 06:51 |
| Simon80 | yeah, I'm anti dirty-hack | 06:52 |
| superm1 | me too | 06:52 |
| superm1 | i despise people who make install source packages | 06:52 |
| Simon80 | thanks though, good to hear confirmation that my perfectionism pays off | 06:52 |
| superm1 | and dont at least have the decency to checkinstall | 06:52 |
| Simon80 | haha | 06:52 |
| superm1 | its just asking for trouble to spew binaries across a system in my opinion | 06:52 |
| Simon80 | well, I dunno, checkinstall is a bit stiff, if it was MY system they aren't checkinstalling on, ok, not nice, but like, with modules, checkinstall fails | 06:53 |
| superm1 | well with modules, you have module assistant | 06:53 |
| superm1 | for some things | 06:53 |
| Simon80 | ...oh | 06:53 |
| Simon80 | yeah | 06:53 |
| superm1 | like ivtv and lirc and such | 06:53 |
| Simon80 | so it doesn't do everything | 06:53 |
| Simon80 | cause.. qc-usb-messenger | 06:53 |
| superm1 | yea doesnt do everything | 06:54 |
| superm1 | needs a debian style module package installed in /usr/src to work correctly | 06:54 |
| superm1 | but with the module packages in place, its a beaut | 06:54 |
| Simon80 | mmhmm | 06:55 |
| Simon80 | just haven't bothered to figure it out yet | 06:55 |
| Simon80 | it's always a matter of time with me | 06:55 |
| superm1 | okay, well catch back up with me in a few days (sometime mid week next week) and I can either help you through getting this broken up into a few packages or take over and finish it up /submit it to revu and such | 06:55 |
| Simon80 | I only first tried out any linux at all aug 2005, lol | 06:55 |
| Simon80 | that's me bragging about that, btw, though I wish I'd tried earlier | 06:56 |
| Simon80 | :D | 06:56 |
| Simon80 | alright | 06:56 |
| superm1 | if not me, there are plenty of very smart MOTUs that frequent the channel at all hours (except the last 5 days with UDS) | 06:56 |
| Simon80 | yeah | 06:56 |
| Simon80 | ooh | 06:56 |
| Simon80 | summit? | 06:56 |
| superm1 | yea | 06:56 |
| superm1 | thats why things have been dead so much this last week | 06:56 |
| superm1 | around here | 06:56 |
| Simon80 | ah, I wasn't in though | 06:57 |
| superm1 | well even tonite | 06:57 |
| Simon80 | but yeah, seemed dead just now | 06:57 |
| Simon80 | yeah | 06:57 |
| superm1 | okay well, off to bed with me. catch ya on soon | 06:57 |
| Simon80 | ok | 06:57 |
| Fujitsu | superm1: You said the dirty word up there... :P | 06:57 |
| superm1 | hehe hey Fujitsu , you give Simon80 some advice with my departing? | 06:58 |
| Fujitsu | Sure, ask away, Simon80. | 06:58 |
| superm1 | okay night then. | 06:58 |
| === superm1 is now known as superm1_away | ||
| Fujitsu | (I even have some experience with StepMania, but not for a couple of years) | 06:58 |
| Simon80 | eh, I don't really have anything to ask though, hehe, just need to work on it, unless you can say how best to version a cvs package | 06:59 |
| Simon80 | the DMG is a bit lacking in that department, unless I just need to read more carefully | 06:59 |
| Fujitsu | I'd say [current-stables-version] +cvs.[date] -0ubuntu1 is the best bet. | 07:06 |
| Fujitsu | *stable | 07:07 |
| Simon80 | hmm | 07:07 |
| Simon80 | yeah, so that's > current but < next | 07:07 |
| Simon80 | right? | 07:07 |
| Fujitsu | Yep. | 07:08 |
| Fujitsu | And for a release candidate, it'd be [version-this-is-an-RC-for] ~rcX-0ubuntu1, for example. | 07:09 |
| === minghua likes cvs[date] without dot better, but that's just personal preference | ||
| Simon80 | .....is that cause ~ is less and + is more? this is all just a result of ascii comparison, right? | 07:09 |
| Simon80 | yeah, I like it without dot too | 07:10 |
| Simon80 | slightly | 07:10 |
| Fujitsu | Not quite ASCII comparison. | 07:10 |
| Fujitsu | Some of it is. | 07:10 |
| Fujitsu | But ~ is less than an empty string. | 07:10 |
| Fujitsu | So X~Y is less than plain X. | 07:10 |
| === Simon80 cracks open the policy manual | ||
| minghua | Simon80: read dpkg(1) man page and search for --compare-version | 07:10 |
| minghua | you don't really want to read the version number part of the policy... :-P | 07:11 |
| Simon80 | yea, it doesn't even mention ~ | 07:11 |
| Fujitsu | ~ is fairly new. | 07:11 |
| === ash211 [n=andrew@user-1121lvf.dsl.mindspring.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Simon80 | oh... months new? weeks? | 07:12 |
| minghua | months new, in a sense | 07:12 |
| Fujitsu | Months. | 07:12 |
| Fujitsu | Although Debian's archive has supported it for just a few weeks, AFAIK. | 07:13 |
| Simon80 | ah | 07:13 |
| Simon80 | how do I use this command, ie. how to quickly fetch the return value? | 07:13 |
| Simon80 | in bash | 07:13 |
| Simon80 | might as well ask, you must know.. otherwise I'd be poring over man bash | 07:14 |
| minghua | Fujitsu: Debian's archive should have supported ~ for months | 07:15 |
| Fujitsu | I saw an email fairly recently saying it was now supported... | 07:16 |
| === Fujitsu looks it up. | ||
| minghua | Simon80: you need "echo $?" | 07:16 |
| minghua | probably only 2-3 months | 07:16 |
| Simon80 | haha, thanks | 07:16 |
| minghua | but I believe more than one month | 07:16 |
| Fujitsu | Oh, you're right. | 07:17 |
| Fujitsu | Mid-to-late August. | 07:17 |
| Simon80 | well then, ~ is nice, I can say 4.0~cvs20061106 | 07:18 |
| Fujitsu | Yep, that's what it's for. | 07:19 |
| Fujitsu | I wasn't sure if the next version was going to be 4.0, though, so I went along the safe path with 3.9+ | 07:19 |
| Simon80 | well, that's exactly what I would have wanted to use, but the DPM didn't mention it | 07:19 |
| Simon80 | and yeah, it's definitely not just 3.9+ | 07:20 |
| Simon80 | has netplay, totally different theme, etc. | 07:20 |
| Simon80 | and some bugs :) | 07:20 |
| Simon80 | but it's 2 years later | 07:20 |
| Simon80 | 3.9 is 2 years old now | 07:20 |
| Simon80 | ..........I think? | 07:20 |
| Simon80 | I'm prolly wrong there actually, I'm going by cvs file age | 07:21 |
| minghua | you want 3.9+cvs instead of 4.0~cvs | 07:21 |
| minghua | version number is just a meaningless number | 07:22 |
| Simon80 | are you sure? it even goes so far as to call itself 4.0 CVS | 07:22 |
| Simon80 | in game | 07:22 |
| === ash211_ [n=andrew@user-1121lvf.dsl.mindspring.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Simon80 | and yeah, the changelog for 3.9 is 13 mos old, sounds more correct than 2 years | 07:23 |
| minghua | well, if you are sure there will not be a 4.0 beta, then I don't mind either way | 07:23 |
| Simon80 | oh, lol, cause of the cvs thing? | 07:23 |
| Simon80 | hmm | 07:23 |
| === robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Simon80 | one could always go cvs314159+beta | 07:24 |
| Simon80 | see, now gentoo handles this stuff | 07:24 |
| Simon80 | they standardize on a few suffixes, I think pre, beta, rc | 07:24 |
| Simon80 | and r for after release | 07:24 |
| Simon80 | so how do I transfer to different upstream sources, is the best practice to just get the alt sources and copy debian/ into them? | 07:35 |
| Fujitsu | Change into the current Debian package directory, and run `uupdate /path/to/new/tarball' | 07:36 |
| Simon80 | really? I thought that might have even been a stupid question | 07:37 |
| Fujitsu | Yep, it's that easy. | 07:37 |
| minghua | Fujitsu: is there a guide about playing with this multi-distribution-tool thing? | 07:38 |
| Fujitsu | minghua: Not really, just work it out yourself, basically. | 07:38 |
| minghua | Fujitsu: Hmm. what is the bzr repo then? | 07:38 |
| === minghua starts to feel not quite confident | ||
| Fujitsu | There's a basic example on the MultiDistroTools page on the wiki, but it doesn't do much. | 07:39 |
| Fujitsu | (and the bzr repo is there too) | 07:39 |
| minghua | okay, thanks Fujitsu | 07:40 |

| Simon80 | so is there a policy reason why <dist>-updates seems to never have meaty upstream updates in it? | 07:46 |
| Fujitsu | Simon80: Stable releases don't get new upstream versions. | 07:47 |
| zakame | well there's a next release, right? :) | 07:47 |
| Fujitsu | (unless absolutely necessary) | 07:47 |
| Simon80 | ..yeah, thought so | 07:47 |
| Simon80 | just wasn't sure if that applied to uni | 07:47 |
| Fujitsu | Universe updates were even less common than main ones until a week or so back. | 07:48 |
| Simon80 | but I think you tend to be overly conservative.. I mean, network manager in dapper was sort of broken | 07:48 |
| Fujitsu | Because we had no policy. | 07:48 |
| Simon80 | but now I'm kind of digressing | 07:48 |
| Simon80 | that's not even MOTU | 07:48 |
| Simon80 | and possibly not even to do with not taking upstream updates | 07:49 |
| Fujitsu | #ubuntu-motu is all about digression. There's rarely much on-topic chatter :P | 07:49 |
| minghua | for less conservative place there is always -backports | 07:49 |
| Simon80 | that's true | 07:50 |
| Simon80 | but again, seems to be low traffic | 07:50 |
| Fujitsu | -cue jarring chord- | 07:50 |
| minghua | but I appreciate tending to err on the side of caution | 07:50 |
| Simon80 | oh, some good advice I can ask for, I've never figured out whether there's an easier way to gather build-deps than to try to compile on a naked install, or pore through the configure.ca | 07:50 |
| minghua | (is that correct English by the way?) | 07:50 |
| Simon80 | ac* | 07:50 |

| Fujitsu | And 3 for desktop. | 07:51 |
| Simon80 | not sure how they can say a certain package is server or not | 07:51 |
| Fujitsu | Simon80: They've got 2.5 years to decide, I guess. | 07:51 |
| Simon80 | ah, pbuilder seems to do what I'm thinking | 07:51 |
| Simon80 | naked chroot | 07:51 |
| Simon80 | wasn't sure | 07:51 |
| minghua | LOL at the "2.5 years to decide" | 07:53 |
| Simon80 | I love packaging.. I mean, compared to windows, it sucks that upstream doesn't always provide even source packages, but at the same time, linux package management kicks the crap out of running some dude's unsigned setup.exe just to get yourself some free screensavers... *shudder* | 07:53 |
| Simon80 | free as in spyware | 07:53 |
| Fujitsu | Yep. | 07:54 |
| Simon80 | not that I don't totally despise windows, lol, growing up with it was enough to do that | 07:54 |

| Fujitsu | Evening, Burgundavia. | 07:55 |
| Simon80 | once I tried ubuntu, I realized it was possible for me to at least transition some of my stuff away from windows... within a few months I was barely booting windows, but I still had some unsratched itches | 07:55 |
| Simon80 | other than WPA, that's pretty much dealt with by now | 07:56 |
| Simon80 | oh.. and dri | 07:56 |
| Simon80 | sucking | 07:56 |
| Burgundavia | hey Fujitsu | 07:56 |
| Simon80 | I'l stop talking OT now :) | 07:56 |
| Fujitsu | Simon80: What graphics chipset? | 07:56 |
| Simon80 | r300 | 07:57 |
| Simon80 | M10 | 07:57 |
| Simon80 | I want it to be better | 07:57 |
| Simon80 | I'm tired of fglrx like I'm tired of windows | 07:57 |
| Fujitsu | fglrx really does suck, I know. | 07:57 |
| Simon80 | I tried the latest ver just to grab a reg value, and it locks up consistently on X exit | 07:57 |
| === Fujitsu hugs his integrated Intel card. Not great for 3D stuff, but it doesn't need proprietary stuff. | ||
| Simon80 | never had a release of that that didn't have some logout bug | 07:58 |
| zakame | still great for d games though :D | 07:58 |
| Simon80 | d games? | 07:58 |
| Simon80 | I have an i810 that I briefly test drove with quake3, so I realize yeah, intel is a better choice for that | 07:58 |
| Simon80 | if that was any indication as to support for their newer sets | 07:59 |
| zakame | right | 08:00 |
| === minghua made sure he chose the intel graphic card for his new laptop | ||
| Simon80 | lol | 08:01 |
| Simon80 | well, when I got my lappy, I didn't know or care about these issues | 08:01 |
| Burgundavia | what about those rumours of ATI releasing specs? | 08:02 |
| Simon80 | I'm hardcore now though, one could consult me on hardware purchasing, I think | 08:02 |
| Simon80 | I'm waiting for that | 08:02 |
| minghua | yeah, maybe "made sure not to chose extra ATI graphic card" is more close to the truth :-P | 08:02 |
| Simon80 | I mean, compatibility wise | 08:02 |
| Simon80 | ...I'm not all that knowledgeable about it actually, wireless wise, I can say whether a chipset has a driver, but I don't know which ones will work with NM and WPA | 08:03 |
| Simon80 | that'd be nice to know | 08:03 |
| Simon80 | ....I do have WPA working on my 770 though :D | 08:04 |
| Fujitsu | Burgundavia: Which rumours? | 08:04 |
| Simon80 | amd buyout... | 08:04 |
| === minghua wants to start merging work too | ||
| minghua | now only if I can manage to install edgy on my desktop | 08:05 |
| Simon80 | As for open driver support, Cherry says that things have gotten better in the last year, particularly with improved support for wireless devices and better support for video cards. He also says that "we have confirmation" that ATI is moving towards opening up its capabilities for video drivers since the company's acquisition by AMD. | 08:05 |
| === minghua sighs | ||
| Simon80 | http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/10/11/1355201 | 08:05 |
| Simon80 | I'd say that's more than a rumour | 08:05 |
| Simon80 | just a matter of waiting for their big post merge press release | 08:05 |
| Fujitsu | That'll be nice... | 08:06 |
| Simon80 | but either way, specs aren't enough, and also, the other thing I heard was a "functional subset" | 08:06 |
| Simon80 | so.. yeah, till my M10 is as fast or faster on linux than on windows, I'm not happy | 08:06 |
| Fujitsu | Specs are enough, though they're not ideal. | 08:06 |
| Burgundavia | specs might lead to official support | 08:06 |
| Burgundavia | did you see Keiths notes? | 08:06 |
| zakame | hmm anyone else here encountered resume failures after hibernate? | 08:06 |
| Fujitsu | If they open their specs/drivers, they can expect pretty much every Linuxer to move to them. | 08:07 |
| Burgundavia | zakame: rock solid | 08:07 |
| Fujitsu | zakame: I can't hibernate, due to my encrypted everything. | 08:07 |
| Burgundavia | except that Nvidia is being agressive at tracking X changes now | 08:07 |
| Simon80 | lol | 08:07 |
| Simon80 | yeah, nvidia is pretty good with the closed source I gather | 08:07 |
| zakame | Burgundavia: I take that as OK right? :) | 08:07 |
| Simon80 | but not enough to be as good as windows in the last, admittedly not recent, benches I've seen | 08:08 |
| Burgundavia | zakame: I have seen resume failures | 08:08 |
| Simon80 | I think that's a year ago now though, kind of irrelevant | 08:08 |
| Burgundavia | zakame: no resume failures, rather | 08:08 |
| zakame | waah :( | 08:09 |
| Simon80 | btw, for wireless, I recommend motorola's wr850G, great product so far | 08:09 |
| Simon80 | router/ap | 08:09 |
| Fujitsu | I recommend an appropriately configured Dapper box with a lot of NICs. | 08:10 |
| Simon80 | not doing much with it though, it's being used as a wired/wireless AP | 08:10 |
| zakame | well my kubuntu here doesn't resume properly, kernel (or is it initrd) can just seem to see the image on swap upon resume | 08:10 |
| Simon80 | and lol @ Fujitsu, I'm sure that'd cost more than 32CAD | 08:10 |
| Fujitsu | I had a spare box sitting around, I needed to move services off the family computer. | 08:11 |
| Simon80 | and I dunno which NICs have drivers that can do master mode well | 08:11 |
| Simon80 | come to think of it, I'd make a pretty bad consultant on wireless hardware.. | 08:11 |
| Simon80 | and linux | 08:11 |
| Fujitsu | It's got Dapper installed, runs 4 NICs (wireless LAN, internet, wired LAN, and an extra LAN one 'cause the switch is too small), does Apache, DHCP, DNS, MySQL, mail, internal file sharing, and more! | 08:12 |
| Fujitsu | All for the grand price of nothing. | 08:12 |
| Simon80 | how nothing? I don't see my local staples selling these wonderboxen for free | 08:13 |
| Burgundavia | Simon80: I don't see you in #ubuntu-ca | 08:14 |
| Simon80 | hmm.. should I be? | 08:14 |
| Burgundavia | yes. Otherwise my goon squad will come after you | 08:14 |

| Simon80 | ..just commenting on your ISP | 08:16 |
| Burgundavia | shaw is better than telus | 08:16 |
| Simon80 | I wouldn't really know | 08:16 |
| Simon80 | but I switched to Bell, way faster, lower latency too | 08:16 |
| Burgundavia | nothing but Telus and Shaw out here | 08:16 |

| TheMuso | Burgundavia: Agree 100% | 09:14 |
| Burgundavia | TheMuso: sad reality is that compiz/beryl do offer some cool accessibility things | 09:15 |
| TheMuso | Why is that a sad reality? | 09:16 |
| Burgundavia | because for it to truly work, we do need good 3d drivers | 09:16 |
| TheMuso | Right. | 09:16 |
| Simon80 | ok, so, rephrased, the sad reality is that the open source drivers are woefully inadequate | 09:16 |
| Burgundavia | and those ATI/AMD specs are not going to make Feisty, I bet | 09:17 |
| Simon80 | you never know, they have till feb | 09:17 |
| Simon80 | but like, they'd need more than specs by then | 09:17 |
| Burgundavia | and in that time they need to release the specs and then write the drivers | 09:18 |
| TheMuso | Intel really should make their video chipsets dedicated cards. | 09:18 |
| Simon80 | cause like, at least one dev has some for of nda info | 09:18 |
| Simon80 | hasn't miraculously made things better | 09:18 |
| TheMuso | I don't care if intel doesn't perform as well as ATI/NVIDIA, as I don't need the card to be powerful enough for games etc. | 09:18 |
| TheMuso | I'd gladly install Intel cards in any new machine I build. | 09:19 |

| Simon80 | oh, oh no, you're serious? | 09:45 |
| Burgundavia | us old farts are nearly in our wheelchairs | 09:45 |
| === Fujitsu whippersnaps Burgundavia. | ||

| === crimsun hobbles around with his walker | ||
| Simon80 | dammit! | 09:45 |
| joejaxx | Simon80: ! :D | 09:45 |

| Burgundavia | joejaxx: madwifi | 09:46 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: heh. that's because i've looked at the merges and gone "i dont wan tto think about that yet" | 09:46 |
| Simon80 | how long have you two been at this sort of thing? | 09:46 |
| Fujitsu | I've been at it since early July. | 09:46 |
| Simon80 | and you're already packaging? | 09:46 |
| === Hobbsee didnt do anyhting for breezy, except test a cd | ||
| Simon80 | both of you? | 09:46 |
| === Fujitsu looks up the logs of that occasion when he came in and asked how he could help. | ||
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: My Breezy upload was a security update a couple of months back. | 09:46 |
| Hobbsee | ahhh | 09:47 |
| Burgundavia | joejaxx: there is a fundamental difference between madwifi and the ati/nvidia drivers. First of all, madwifi already has Atheros involvement. 2nd, it is truly needed | 09:47 |
| Simon80 | I really should have gotten into this earlier, I did ebuilds first, and it seems impossible to get a new ebuild into their tree | 09:47 |
| TheMuso | I've been doing stuff on and off for about 4-6 months packaging wise anyway | 09:47 |
| Fujitsu | Simon80: I was approved as a MOTU a couple of months ago, so yes. | 09:47 |
| TheMuso | I have been helping with other stuff in general for a lot longr. | 09:47 |
| TheMuso | longer | 09:47 |
| Simon80 | ohh, you only got into packaging in early july? not linux related stuff in general? | 09:47 |
| Simon80 | cause I was more wondering how long you've been using *nix | 09:48 |
| Hobbsee | since about july 05 | 09:48 |
| Simon80 | aug 05 here | 09:48 |
| TheMuso | Been using Linux since January 01 here. | 09:48 |
| crimsun | august 06 :-) | 09:49 |
| Simon80 | lol | 09:49 |
| Simon80 | nice | 09:49 |
| Hobbsee | crimsun: rubbish | 09:49 |
| crimsun | shh. | 09:49 |
| Simon80 | well, I only made my first deb package this week :( | 09:49 |
| Hobbsee | :P | 09:49 |
| Simon80 | it's for 1106 cvs source of stepmania | 09:49 |
| Fujitsu | I'm February '01, or thereabouts. | 09:49 |

| crimsun | shh. | 09:49 |
| Simon80 | any ddr geeks may want to check it out | 09:49 |
| Fujitsu | @lart crimsun | 09:50 |
| ubuntu-es | Fujitsu: Error: "lart" is not a valid command. | 09:50 |
| TheMuso | hahahahaha | 09:50 |
| joejaxx | Burgundavia: i just do not see the difference between those two non-source packages | 09:50 |
| Burgundavia | joejaxx: my blog post is primarily about companies joining the open source movement, rather than just non-source packages | 09:51 |
| joejaxx | Burgundavia: oh ok | 09:52 |
| Burgundavia | joejaxx: Atheros is already actively working on their Linux driver. Not shipping it really doesn't tell them anything | 09:52 |
| Burgundavia | not shipping the ati/nvidia drivers has been a fairly clear message to ati and nvidia | 09:53 |
| TheMuso | Burgundavia: I like the fact that the madwifi binary blob will be gone in the future | 09:53 |
| Burgundavia | TheMuso: the free ath stuff? | 09:53 |
| Burgundavia | I am skeptical about it | 09:53 |
| TheMuso | Burgundavia: yeah | 09:53 |
| TheMuso | One thing that worries me, is that companies who see others release GPL drivers, but binary firmware, will be encouraged to do the same thing, with the argument that they are making drivers available etc. | 09:55 |
| Burgundavia | joejaxx: wireless drivers are a completely different kettle of fish, due to the fact that companies such as Intel, who has clearly shown they are a friend of open source, still have binary firmware | 09:55 |
| TheMuso | Burgundavia: But they aren't really a friend of open source if they make binary firmware. | 09:56 |
| joejaxx | Burgundavia: yeah i guess | 09:56 |
| TheMuso | Thats the way I see it anyway. | 09:56 |
| TheMuso | Especially if they are taming up with the likes of MS to put in TPM modules in future gens of CPUs and mobo chipsets etc. | 09:57 |
| Burgundavia | tpm is dead | 09:57 |
| Burgundavia | it has failed in teh marketplace, which is where it needs to fail | 09:57 |
| TheMuso | Any official data/web site to show that? | 09:57 |
| Burgundavia | nobody is using it, even the new Vista and OS X | 09:58 |
| TheMuso | Right. | 09:58 |
| Burgundavia | if there was a place I expected to see it, it was Vista | 09:58 |
| TheMuso | Yet will it still be a part of future computer hardware? | 09:58 |
| Burgundavia | apple has already talked about removing it from their future computers | 09:58 |
| TheMuso | If so, MS could easily turn around a release updates that forces vista to use it. | 09:58 |
| TheMuso | Wow. | 09:59 |
| Burgundavia | they could | 09:59 |
| Burgundavia | but if nobody is using it, then it becomes something that can be removed to save money | 09:59 |
| TheMuso | True. | 09:59 |
| TheMuso | Well its good that it has failed then. | 09:59 |
| Burgundavia | and when your margins as small as a hardware manufacturers are, even cents matter | 09:59 |
| === twilight [n=twilight@ubuntu/member/twilight] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| TheMuso | BUt how is it already known as a failure? | 09:59 |
| Burgundavia | because it has been in existance for almost 5 years with absolutely no interest | 10:00 |
| TheMuso | Ah ok. | 10:00 |
| Burgundavia | ie: the entire development time of Vista | 10:00 |
| Fujitsu | TPM is used in Vista. | 10:00 |
| TheMuso | I think some new notebooks come with it already. | 10:00 |
| Fujitsu | BitLocker requires it. | 10:00 |
| TheMuso | I vaguely remember seeing something about a security chip in my notebook's BIOS. | 10:01 |
| Simon80 | boo | 10:01 |
| Hobbsee | TheMuso: not on mine, that i kjnow of :) | 10:01 |
| Simon80 | not on my 2 yo m6811 either | 10:02 |
| Burgundavia | right, but bitlocker is how a tpm chip is supposed to be used | 10:02 |
| Simon80 | unless cpu serial counts | 10:02 |
| Burgundavia | for end user encryption | 10:02 |
| Fujitsu | Burgundavia: True. | 10:02 |
| Simon80 | err... that's bad | 10:02 |
| Simon80 | get it useful for that | 10:02 |
| Simon80 | and then... once people NEED the tpms | 10:02 |
| Simon80 | you can fill in the rest | 10:02 |
| Burgundavia | there are similar tools for OS X | 10:02 |
| Burgundavia | OS X has clearly rejected the TPM. Linux will never have it | 10:03 |
| Burgundavia | I am not worried | 10:03 |
| Burgundavia | Fujitsu: and bitlocker doesn't require tpm | 10:03 |
| Fujitsu | Burgundavia: Last time I saw a screenshot (about a week ago), it did. | 10:04 |
| Burgundavia | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLocker_Drive_Encryption | 10:04 |
| Burgundavia | depends what you do with it | 10:04 |
| Fujitsu | You know what would be nice to have in the near future? A nice GUI for setting up encrypted partitions in Ubuntu. Having usplash with a nice password/USB-drive prompt would be nice and shiny | 10:04 |
| Burgundavia | better to do it in GDM, but ya | 10:05 |
| Fujitsu | Encrypted root shouldn't be excluded as a use-case. | 10:05 |
| Burgundavia | Fedora did some inital work to push GDM further down the chain, to replace their usplash equiv | 10:05 |
| crimsun | fwiw, feisty's current uswsusp prompts the user on dist-upgrade whether (s)he wants to enable an enciphered partition | 10:06 |
| TheMuso | I personally think any drive encryption is dangerous. The tech may be proven, but then there is the problem of data integrity, passwords/passphrases etc. | 10:06 |
| Burgundavia | with upstart, that becomes more feasible | 10:06 |
| crimsun | if yes is chosen, the user enters a passphrase | 10:06 |
| Simon80 | Fujitsu: I agree totally, but it's a question of how much work is involved thinking through the UI and implementing | 10:06 |
| Simon80 | got any DDR geeks in the crowd today? | 10:07 |
| Simon80 | .....for the reason I mentioned above | 10:07 |
| Fujitsu | Simon80: I haven't played it in a couple of years, but I used to be able to do 9 or 10 feet in StepMania. | 10:08 |
| Fujitsu | I have a friend who plays it constantly, though :P | 10:08 |
| Simon80 | ah | 10:09 |
| Simon80 | yeah, 9-10 feet is pretty crazy | 10:09 |
| Simon80 | I'm at 5-7 | 10:09 |
| Fujitsu | Crazy? It's EASY! | 10:09 |
| Simon80 | lol | 10:09 |
| Simon80 | :P | 10:09 |

| Lutin | zakame: I mean, is there a policy on packaging _new_ programs coming from cvs | 04:51 |
| zakame | I don't think there's a formal policy atm; new packages do need to be REVu-ed though | 04:52 |
| Lutin | such as 'you can remove the 'CVS' dirs as you want', or 'you need to run make distcheck to have a clean source tarball' | 04:53 |
| zakame | well you definitely want to remove the CVS dirs as that would break debian-policy (lintain will warn you) | 04:54 |
| zakame | that is, you'd want a cvs export, not a cvs chekcout | 04:54 |

| jdong | quick versioning question... | 06:45 |
| jdong | if I were to, say, make a gaim beta5 package for impatient waiters, how should I version it so that debian sid packages would override it when made? | 06:46 |
| jdong | gaim | 1:2.0.0+beta4-4 | unstable | source, i386 | 06:47 |
| minghua | 1:2.0.0+beta5~-1? | 06:47 |
| minghua | (assuming debian maintainer keeps his version scheme) | 06:47 |
| jdong | minghua: ok. Is there a set convention for these kinds of things? | 06:48 |
| minghua | jdong: not in debian | 06:48 |
| minghua | as only maintainer is supposed to know all the uploads except NMU | 06:48 |
| minghua | s/only// | 06:48 |
| jdong | ok | 06:48 |
| === Adri2000 [n=Adri2000@unaffiliated/adri2000] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| imbrandon | whast the dissid current version | 06:49 |
| minghua | for NMU version numbers there is a policy, of course | 06:49 |
| jdong | imbrandon: 1:2.0.0+beta4-4 | 06:49 |
| plugwash | jdong for a custom package i would use 1:2.0.0+beta5-0yourname1 | 06:51 |
| minghua | actually, since I am talking about NMU now | 06:51 |
| jdong | would ~0yourname1 work too? | 06:51 |
| minghua | I believe the correct version number for a new upstream NMU is 1:2.0.0+beta5-0.1 | 06:52 |
| plugwash | jdong probablly but there is no real need to use ~ here since official debian packages generally start at -1 | 06:52 |
| jdong | ok | 06:53 |
| plugwash | and its highly unlikely that gaim will get a new upstream version uploaded by anyone other than its co-maintainer | 06:53 |
| plugwash | (its maintainer seems to have dissapeared) | 06:53 |
| jdong | ok | 06:54 |
| === jdong drops some beta4 packages and attempts a test build | ||
| jdong | s/packages/patches | 06:54 |
| jdong | btw, anyone know why pbuilder in edgy is so much slower than dapper? | 06:55 |
| jdong | in satisfy-depends? | 06:55 |
| giskard | plugwash, who is the real maintainer? | 06:55 |
| jdong | it quite literally is 10x slower | 06:55 |
| plugwash | giskard well according to p.q.d.o the maintainer is robert mcqueen and co-mainter is ari pollak | 06:57 |
| plugwash | but ari seems to be doing virtually all the maintaining (roberts last changelog entry is from last april) | 06:59 |
| giskard | plugwash, i guess robot101 is busy with other things, and ari is doing a great work on gaim. | 06:59 |
| giskard | plugwash, indeed. | 06:59 |
| === twilight [n=twilight@ubuntu/member/twilight] has left #ubuntu-motu ["Leaving"] | ||
| === plugwash strongly suspects ari will upload beta5 soon after etch release | ||
| jdong | plugwash: heh, well, forumers are starting to whip out their checkinstall already, so I thought I'd offer them the lesser of two evils | 07:04 |
| jdong | and plus, I'd like shiny new gaim too, and prevu needs a few more test runs on .dsc files usecase | 07:04 |

| === _jaldhar [n=jaldhar@c-68-38-202-139.hsd1.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| plugwash | does -j3 have any downsides? | 07:10 |
| plugwash | and if not why isn't it the default | 07:11 |
| jdong | plugwash: well, it tries to launch 3 jobs at the same time, dependencies allowing | 07:11 |
| mr_pouit | jdong: is it made automagically, or has it to be forced in pbuilderrc ? | 07:11 |
| jdong | so it's less efficient and more resource-intensive for no good reason on single-cores | 07:11 |
| jdong | mr_pouit: I haven't figured that part out, yet... I force it | 07:11 |
| mr_pouit | ok | 07:11 |
| jdong | plugwash: also, with poorly written makefiles, it can cause build failures | 07:12 |
| mr_pouit | jdong: last question ^^: how do you force it inside pbuilder ? | 07:24 |

| Adri2000 | "An SDL game" < is that correct english? I think "An" should be "A" | 08:56 |
