| pygi | dholbach: btw. if you need me to package anything this weekend, you shout ^_^ | 12:42 |
| pygi | vil: just contribute, get your gpg key signed, and appear in front of council ^_^ | 12:43 |
| vil | pygi: I am not quite sure if should ask about burning. does it hurt? :) | 12:43 |
| pygi | vil: always :P If I have to translate: cd recording ^_^ | 12:43 |
| vil | pygi: for gpg - task completed | 12:44 |

| dholbach | vil: did you read http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newdev ? | 12:50 |
| vil | dholbach: I guess yes, but reading it again does not hurt | 12:51 |
| dholbach | vil: are you an ubuntumember already? | 12:51 |
| vil | dholbach: I have signed the manifest but did not ask any council, yet | 12:53 |
| dholbach | vil: then you should do that first and ask doko to be at the next CC meeting too, so he can do the cheerleading for you :-) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewMemberHowto | 12:53 |

| dholbach | but until then we stick to the old process | 12:59 |
| pygi | dholbach: does one involve being able to upload with keys signed by DD's or UD's? :P | 12:59 |
| dholbach | hm? | 12:59 |
| ajmitch | you really really should have that signature | 12:59 |
| pygi | ajmitch: I know, but no one to sign :-/ | 01:00 |
| pygi | dholbach: without* | 01:00 |
| vil | how often does the CC meet? | 01:01 |
| vil | dholbach: and is it possible to make it in one round like pygi suggested? | 01:02 |
| LaserJock | vil: generally every 2 weeks I believe | 01:02 |

| minghua | LaserJock: I don't know, note I said "may" :-) | 01:57 |
| minghua | LaserJock: the upstream web page is rather unclear either | 01:57 |
| minghua | I suppose I need to try a real configure to find out | 01:57 |
| minghua | LaserJock: I can't imagine Fedora violating GPL though, as --with-readline=gnu has been available for years | 01:58 |
| LaserJock | well, every distro I've know except Debian has had readline support in gnuplot | 01:59 |
| minghua | oh. | 01:59 |
| LaserJock | I don't really get it but apparently Debian doesn't like it | 02:00 |
| ajmitch | if readline is GPL, and gnuplot isn't, you won't be compiling readline support in | 02:00 |
| minghua | LaserJock: it's really crystal-clear case: your license is not compatible with GPL, you can't link to GPL library. period. | 02:00 |
| LaserJock | right, but ever distro I've used other then Debian/Ubuntu has had it | 02:01 |

| psusi | anyone here know a lot about the new features in ext? specifically the resize inode, dir_index, and filetype? | 03:59 |
| psusi | I'm trying to patch defrag to handle them properly | 03:59 |
| jdong_ | psusi: heh, e2defrag is still alive? | 04:00 |
| jdong_ | psusi: I wrote pyfragtools (lp/product/$@) for that purpose :D | 04:00 |
| psusi | sort of... the package is still in the archive, though it has been failing to build for the last two releases | 04:00 |
| psusi | I'm dusting it off | 04:00 |
| jdong_ | psusi: it's a FS-neutral data defragger | 04:01 |
| jdong_ | doesn't do crap about free space | 04:01 |
| psusi | I've already made 5 patches to fix bugs and make it work with modern formats, and use sane amounts of buffer cache on modern machines | 04:01 |
| jdong_ | :) | 04:01 |
| psusi | fs jeutral? | 04:01 |
| psusi | fs neutral even? | 04:01 |
| jdong_ | psusi: yeah | 04:01 |
| jdong_ | psusi: it uses FBIOMAP | 04:01 |
| psusi | ahhhh | 04:01 |
| jdong_ | psusi: which is implemented for practically everything :D | 04:01 |
| psusi | and copies/deletes the file until it is contiguous? ;) | 04:02 |
| jdong_ | psusi: basically yeah | 04:02 |
| jdong_ | psusi: it's pretty damn effective at getting the job done :D | 04:02 |
| psusi | itit doesn't work so good on filesystems that use sub block allocating | 04:02 |
| jdong_ | maybe not | 04:02 |
| jdong_ | I've used it effectively on ext3, reiserfs, and JFS though | 04:02 |
| psusi | yea, but it doesn't have the cool dancing block ansii map like defrag does ;) | 04:02 |
| jdong_ | though JFS really didn't need it :D | 04:02 |
| psusi | what happens when it hits tails on reiser? | 04:02 |
| jdong_ | psusi: they're not fragmented by definition? :D | 04:03 |
| psusi | yea they are | 04:03 |
| psusi | the last part of the file data is stored elsewhere from the rest of it | 04:03 |

| psusi | and there may be multiple tails in the same block | 04:03 |
| jdong_ | interesting point | 04:04 |
| fgiraldeau | Hi there, I'm ready to upload a package and would like to know if my gpg key has been included in the list | 04:04 |
| jdong_ | psusi: in which case it would be a WONTFIX --> e2fsprogs::filefrags bug :D | 04:04 |
| psusi | I've been toying around with another idea lately too... du is horribly slow on large directories because it stat()s each inode in the order that readdir() returns them... which has a completely random relationship to the disk block order of the inodes | 04:04 |
| psusi | so du causes a massive seek storm | 04:05 |
| jdong_ | yep | 04:05 |
| psusi | would be nice for readdir() to return directories in the order that their inodes appear on disk | 04:05 |
| psusi | but right now I'm trying to figure out WTF these new ext features are | 04:06 |
| jdong_ | hehe | 04:06 |
| psusi | I got it to at least not corrupt the fs anymore, but it is treating the resize inode as bad blocks | 04:06 |
| psusi | I'd like it to be able to move it | 04:06 |
| psusi | I still don't even understand WTF the resize inode is | 04:07 |
| psusi | and why it is created by default | 04:07 |
| psusi | average users don't need to resize the fs on the fly | 04:07 |
| psusi | and it appears to reserve a good chunk of disk space | 04:08 |
| psusi | dapper did not have this | 04:08 |
| psusi | jdong_, you have universe upload access? | 04:11 |
| jdong_ | psusi: no, sir | 04:11 |

| jdong_ | psusi: where to, though? | 04:36 |
| Lathiat | psusi: AIUI, to resize the FS | 04:36 |
| Lathiat | psusi: you neeed to expand the INODE table? (or something) | 04:36 |
| Lathiat | so it reserves space to do that | 04:36 |
| Lathiat | it does this so you can expand online | 04:36 |
| Lathiat | i could be off the mark but thats how i understand it anyway | 04:36 |
| === minghua [n=minghua@ubuntu/member/minghua] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| psusi | AIUI? | 04:37 |
| Lathiat | as i unstand it | 04:37 |
| psusi | ahh | 04:37 |
| psusi | and it has to reserve it when the fs is created so it can be sure to grab the fixed blocks where the expanded inode table must be located? | 04:38 |
| psusi | I see.... then yea... you don't want to go moving those blocks around ;) | 04:38 |

| === _jaldhar [n=jaldhar@c-68-38-202-139.hsd1.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| psusi | that seems to be talking about getting rid of a dummy in memory only inode that was used as a means of adding new blocks to the free list ( by unlinking an inode that had those blocks allocated ) | 04:40 |
| Lathiat | ah ok | 04:40 |
| psusi | but oh well.... defrag at least refuses to move the inode so it doesn't clobber the fs | 04:40 |
| psusi | maybe now I can find someone to upload it ;) | 04:40 |
| psusi | though I think we should also turn off the expand inode by default... average desktop users don't need to be able to expand the fs on the fly | 04:41 |
| psusi | if they really want to they can just boot from the livecd and use gparted | 04:41 |
| === ajmitch likes being able to expand the fs | ||
| psusi | wait a second... | 04:42 |
| psusi | why does space need reserved for expanding? if you expand the fs, you will be adding the new inodes and bitmaps in the new space | 04:42 |
| psusi | not converting existing data blocks into inodes | 04:42 |
| === ajmitch looks at the cost of getting another sata disk | ||
| psusi | wait a second... | 04:46 |
| psusi | shouldn't this control file specify ALL for Architecture:? not any? | 04:46 |
| Lathiat | psusi: my limited understanding of filesystems indicates theres an area that maps out the in use inodes.. or something | 04:46 |
| psusi | err... maybe I got those backwards again | 04:46 |
| Lathiat | which it reserves additional space for so it can expand without unmounting the filesystem | 04:46 |
| Lathiat | arguably a technical limitation | 04:46 |
| ajmitch | psusi: yep, arch: any means compile for any arch | 04:46 |
| psusi | which one means build for each availible architecture, and which one means build once and it runs on all architectures? | 04:46 |
| psusi | Lathiat, it doesn't make sense to reserve any space though since the space for the new data does not exist yet... it will be in the new area after the fs is expanded | 04:47 |
| psusi | you can't reserve something that does not yet exist | 04:47 |
| Lathiat | psusi: no this is part of a map of the inodes that is created in the existing space | 04:48 |
| Lathiat | and apparently ext3 cant "add more to that map" whiel the FS is mounted | 04:48 |
| Lathiat | but if it pre-allocates it, it can | 04:48 |
| Lathiat | again, im arguing blind here, youd be best to speak to someone who knows more than i do :) | 04:48 |
| psusi | the inodes are stored in blocks at known intervals throughout the disk... so when you expand the fs and need to add more inodes, you add them to the new area, not the old | 04:49 |
| psusi | heh | 04:49 |
| Lathiat | then im possibly wron gbut it *definitely* needs to reserve some space int he existing part of the disk | 04:49 |
| Lathiat | for somethign! | 04:49 |
| Lathiat | who knows what | 04:49 |
| Lathiat | i thought it was a map of in use/not in use inodes, i may be wrong | 04:49 |
| Lathiat | probably am | 04:50 |
| psusi | afaik, the inodes and allocation bitmaps are in blocks of fixed size at fixed intervals throughout the disk... so if you add more disk, you add more inodes and bitmaps in the new part of the disk, not the old | 04:50 |

| Lathiat | psusi: i cant help but think witha tool a particularly potentially data destroying as defrag, poking those patches around upstream before uploading them to ubuntu might be usefull? | 04:55 |
| psusi | Lathiat, well, the version currently in the archive is KNOWN to eat filesystems.... my fixed version doesn't to my knowlege ;) | 04:55 |
| psusi | and I fear there isn't much upstream... | 04:55 |
| psusi | the package doesn't appear to be maintained really | 04:56 |
| ajmitch | yay, new samba to merge, just when i was doing 3.0.23c | 04:56 |

| psusi | very infrequently | 04:56 |
| Lathiat | psusi: hrm, right | 04:56 |
| psusi | also there is currently only an i386 binary in the archive, and that is from breezy | 04:56 |
| Lathiat | heh | 04:57 |
| psusi | cause it has failed to build from source on dapper and edgy | 04:57 |
| Lathiat | awesome :/ | 04:57 |
| psusi | got to love it ;) | 04:57 |
| psusi | anyhow.... I'll do some more testing on some larger filesystems and see if it screws the pooch | 04:58 |
| psusi | but so far, it is working well on dapper on i386 and edgy on amd64 | 04:58 |

| crimsun | well, the only thing I have to blog about from Warty through Edgy is "I hate quirks." | 05:59 |
| imbrandon | i tried to upload something to edgy-proposed a few days ago, and its silently dissapeared | 05:59 |
| imbrandon | no idea why | 05:59 |
| crimsun | so two years of blogging summarised in three words. | 05:59 |
| ajmitch | probably goes into an unapproved queue | 05:59 |
| ajmitch | crimsun: impressive | 05:59 |
| nixternal | imbrandon: drip is 0.9.0-3 in debian unstable, and the current one we have is rc3, so, i would just grab the debian one, as the only change between our rules file and theirs is that | 06:01 |
| nixternal | # Don't ship static libraries or .la files with our plugins. We're just an app.. | 06:01 |
| nixternal | rm -f $(CURDIR)/debian/drip/usr/lib/*a | 06:01 |
| nixternal | and in ubuntu rc3, it was to chmod 0644 tthose files | 06:02 |
| imbrandon | you are looking at more than just the rules right? if so it might just be a sync | 06:02 |
| imbrandon | i havent looked this round | 06:02 |
| nixternal | so, i could test build it here, and if it works, post a bug with the logfile and request a sync? | 06:02 |
| nixternal | well, in debian unstable it is a new upstream release | 06:03 |
| nixternal | no longer a release candidate for one | 06:03 |
| nixternal | and there were no ubuntu specific patches from what i could see | 06:03 |
| imbrandon | nixternal: thats not what i ment, e.g did you grab the merge from merges.ubuntu.com, its there becouse there was some kinda of delta | 06:04 |
| imbrandon | if that delta is no longer needed then yes go through the sync process | 06:04 |
| imbrandon | nixternal: whats the changelog say ? | 06:05 |
| nixternal | http://merges.ubuntu.com/d/drip/ | 06:05 |
| imbrandon | ? | 06:05 |
| nixternal | debian or ubuntu? | 06:05 |
| imbrandon | the ubuntu one , what is the reason for the diffrence | 06:05 |
| === imbrandon looks, one sec | ||
| imbrandon | ahh yea, looks to be just a sync, make sure it builds fine , then file a sync request with all the nessesary info as per normal | 06:07 |
| === minghua installs ubuntu-desktop in his feisty Kubuntu | ||
| nixternal | roger dodger | 06:08 |
| crimsun | time to remove ~/.mozilla/plugins/ | 06:09 |
| imbrandon | crimsun: ? | 06:09 |
| crimsun | less than a half-hour until flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.21.55.2ubuntu1 binaries hit. | 06:09 |
| imbrandon | ahh right | 06:09 |
| imbrandon | i noticed that too | 06:10 |
| ajmitch | crimsun: it'll automagically upgrade peoples' flash 7 setup? | 06:10 |
| === nixternal gets to erasing | ||
| imbrandon | ajmitch: from the changelog it looks to be so | 06:11 |
| bddebian | Gnight gents | 06:11 |
| === ajmitch appears to have flash 7 installed from elsewhere | ||
| ajmitch | night bddebian | 06:11 |

| crimsun | (hence the version naming) | 06:44 |

| === Cas [n=cas@218.18.205.243] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| crimsun | on first glance, it looks like a sync, but you need to enumerate each Ubuntu change and affirm that it can be overridden. | 06:59 |
| Cas | Hi, What is the correct way to request the inclusion of a program? file a bug on launchpad? | 07:00 |
| nixternal | well, each ubuntu change is in the 0.9.0-3 from debian | 07:00 |
| Mez | is it "crackful" or "crackfull" | 07:02 |
| Mez | to describe something thats full of crack | 07:02 |
| nixternal | lol | 07:04 |
| crimsun | I tend to use the former | 07:04 |
| crimsun | nixternal: then please state as much after each Ubuntu entry | 07:04 |
| Mez | anyone else? (i want a concensus) | 07:04 |
| Cas | Mez: I put my money on 'crackful' since it's also 'beautiful' | 07:04 |
| nixternal | whatever you do, don't google crackfull | 07:04 |
| Mez | nixternal i already did | 07:04 |
| nixternal | crackufl | 07:05 |

| === Mez is thinking of a new domain name for a blog | ||

| crimsun | no, not every single one. | 07:29 |
| crimsun | please see 0.8.3.2+0.9.0-rc3-7ubuntu3, which contains an arch delta that has not been carried over into Debian unstable's | 07:30 |
| nixternal | so, is that overkill, or flat out wrong? | 07:30 |
| crimsun | I'm going to reject the sync request, because drip needs to be merged. | 07:31 |
| nixternal | roger that | 07:31 |
| nixternal | so, change the arch: to 386, and then merge, and i should be fine correct? | 07:32 |
| crimsun | if you're using MoM's output, that should confirm your work | 07:34 |
| nixternal | hah, i think i got it, the patch is my fixall | 07:36 |
| nixternal | alrighty..test building now, should i put it up on revu when i am complete? | 07:48 |
| crimsun | you can attach it to the sync req | 07:48 |

| StevenK | ... | 08:09 |
| crimsun | I think he interpreted my statement above regarding each changelog entry to mean every one, not just the Ubuntu ones | 08:10 |
| StevenK | Possibly. | 08:11 |
| StevenK | crimsun: Stupid question, if I may? | 08:11 |
| crimsun | shoot | 08:11 |
| nixternal | i need one of them signs for my nick that says "Newbie on board, stand back" | 08:11 |
| StevenK | crimsun: New packages from Debian that Ubuntu has never seen before will be dragged in automatically? | 08:11 |
| crimsun | StevenK: yessir | 08:12 |
| StevenK | Right. | 08:12 |

| nixternal | StevenK: couldn't answer that, as i just do as im told ;) however, i did wonder the same thing as well | 08:14 |
| StevenK | nixternal: You also need to list the Ubuntu changes that remain. | 08:14 |
| StevenK | nixternal: I wonder if it builds on amd64 | 08:15 |

| StevenK | dch -a or dch -e | 08:17 |
| StevenK | Personally, I just use debian-changelog-mode in emacs. | 08:17 |
| nixternal | so just recap the previous ubuntu changes? | 08:20 |
| nixternal | and is this [Ubuntu Merge-o-Matic] supposed to be in there? from doing dch -a | 08:21 |

| xopher | Alliright, Im now on a quest to become a MOTU. First I need to become a member, any hints on what I could do to achieve this? | 12:11 |
| ajmitch | do lots of work | 12:12 |
| ajmitch | put your name forward | 12:12 |
| ajmitch | show up at a CC meeting :) | 12:12 |
| crimsun | that explanation rocks. | 12:13 |
| ajmitch | thanks, crimsun | 12:13 |
| crimsun | np :) | 12:13 |
| ajmitch | http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember has a bit more info | 12:13 |
| xopher | So basically I need to either post something remarkable at the wiki or be hyper-active in the forums? What about irc-activity? | 12:15 |
| ajmitch | you plan to be a MOTU, so contributions are in the form of packaging | 12:16 |
| xopher | That I've been doing a long time already | 12:17 |
| === geser [n=michael@dialin104223.justdsl.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| xopher | Ok, everythings relative ;) But over a year actively I guess | 12:18 |
| ajmitch | then if you have people to support that, and have written up on your wiki page about what you've done, then you're probably eligible | 12:18 |
| === lastnode [n=lastnode@unaffiliated/mahangu] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| xopher | Ok, I guess I cant just pick any guy right? I mean it'd look better to have a (signed?) statement from the lead dev of the program right? Or do I need someone with me at the CCmeeting ? | 12:20 |
| ajmitch | preferably someone who can show up at the CC meeting & answer questions | 12:21 |
| ajmitch | who have you been working with to get things uploaded? | 12:21 |
| xopher | Well before I started working with bmpx (Beep-Media-Player) I did a bit uploading for quinn_storm, basically the amd64 branch of compiz-quinn | 12:22 |
| ajmitch | right, so stuff outside of ubuntu | 12:23 |
| xopher | Basically yes, un-official repositories for ubuntu | 12:23 |
| === ajmitch doesn't know what the CC does about things like that | ||
| xopher | I uploaded my first thing to REVU yesterday, the bmpx package, so doing things official is quite new for me | 12:26 |
| xopher | And I got my gpg-key signed yesterday too, heh, Im really putting some effort in this, well imho at least lol | 12:26 |
| === Fujitsu suspects that some of the CC members will not particularly like people having worked on external repositories, but they might. | ||
| Hobbsee | xopher: based on how it's known to break things...i'm not sure that they do a lot | 12:26 |
| Hobbsee | s/ xopher / ajmitch / | 12:27 |
| === ajmitch still has an abiding distaste for certain external repositories like bmpx that have been known to break things badly | ||
| crimsun | ajmitch loves that mono bit. | 12:28 |
| ajmitch | please don't bring that up | 12:28 |
| ajmitch | I may have a traumatic flashback | 12:28 |
| Fujitsu | Did I hear mono mentioned near 3rd-party repositories? | 12:29 |
| xopher | Well Im guessing that's one reason why we're trying to get more integrated into ubuntu | 12:29 |
| xopher | Hobbsee, what breakage are you referring to? | 12:29 |
| Hobbsee | xopher: dapper people with beryl upgrading to edgy, in particular | 12:30 |
| Fujitsu | Yay, fireworks! | 12:30 |
| xopher | Hobbsee, oh, you're talking about beryl | 12:31 |
| ajmitch | for bmpx, the rather broken dbus backport in the repository | 12:31 |
| xopher | ok | 12:31 |
| Hobbsee | xopher: actually, i'm talking about all third party repos that break things, but that was what i was thinking of | 12:31 |
| ajmitch | which I complained about a couple of times, and saw people running into it a number of times | 12:31 |
| xopher | Ok, now, just to get my facts right. There in no chance I could get a new package into edgy anymore, correct? Not even to backports? | 12:32 |
| xopher | So what I should be aiming at is feisty? | 12:32 |
| Hobbsee | yes | 12:32 |
| ajmitch | aim for feisty | 12:33 |

| Hobbsee | ugh, yes | 12:36 |
| xopher | Fujitsu, so what you're saying is that I shouldn't be maintaining a bmpx-repo for edgy? That I should take away the possibility of trying out software that otherwise would only be available from source? | 12:36 |
| ajmitch | xopher: if you're going to be breaking other packages (as the bmpx repository has been infamous for), then no | 12:37 |
| Fujitsu | xopher: As ajmitch says, if it affects other packages, you should definitely not do it. | 12:37 |
| ajmitch | bmpx by itself wasn't the problem | 12:38 |
| ajmitch | breaking dbus for many people was | 12:38 |
| xopher | Ok, well it doesnt effect other packages anymore. That was on dapper. Edgy is left intact | 12:38 |
| xopher | It may have caused breakage because of the huge amount of external dependencies it had, which dapper doesnt have by default | 12:39 |

| xopher | Does that mean he won't forget me and stand by me at the CCmeeting? ;) heh | 12:45 |
| xopher | (probably he'll just smite me) | 12:45 |
| ajmitch | I didn't plan to anyway, since I haven't been working with you at all | 12:45 |
| xopher | Point taken | 12:45 |
| ajmitch | I don't support people who I haven't worked with directly, even if they've been doing plenty of good work | 12:46 |
| ajmitch | though that's more for TB | 12:46 |
| ajmitch | when the quality of packaging matters more | 12:46 |
| xopher | Yeah. Now, the person(s) who would speak for me, does it matter if they aren't conneted with ubuntu themselves? | 12:48 |
| ajmitch | you could try, but the CC wants contributions to the ubuntu community | 12:49 |
| xopher | Well that's what Im trying to do isnt it? ;) | 12:50 |
| xopher | Now, I asked about irc-activity earlier, Ive been helping out people in #ubuntu-xgl quite a lot, is that a merit, or just something that's expected from everyone? | 12:51 |
| Hobbsee | xopher: it is counted, you tend to need to have people there to vouch for your IRC activity, though | 12:51 |

| deadchip | Hobbsee: i'd just like to know first-hand why you believe BMPx will "break" things | 01:22 |
| Hobbsee | ajmitch: should be too, i expect | 01:22 |
| Hobbsee | deadchip: did you or did you not backport DBUS? | 01:22 |
| deadchip | from all i can see, you either include the package, and then it's (that's not meant to be pushing off anything, just factually), and then you care for whether it works within Ubuntu wrt dependencies | 01:22 |
| deadchip | or you see that it won't work out and include it | 01:23 |
| Fujitsu | deadchip: The repository containing BMPx had a backport of DBUS, which exploded things. | 01:23 |
| deadchip | but i can't see how you can possibly claim the app will "break" things | 01:23 |

| deadchip | Hobbsee: i think this does not have any point does it? | 01:23 |
| deadchip | Hobbsee: those were inofficial packages | 01:23 |
| deadchip | once you include it yourself in Ubuntu, people will be clearly using Ubuntu dbus packages | 01:23 |
| Hobbsee | did they break people's dist-upgrades? | 01:23 |
| ajmitch | deadchip: no, it doesn't - the fact remains that you included broken packages, and we had to deal with the mess | 01:23 |
| Fujitsu | deadchip: The fact that they are unofficial exacerbates the point. | 01:24 |
| Hobbsee | deadchip: if they dont break other stuff, then they're more fine - but the fact that packages YOU are distributing ARE breaking things for your users - perhaps you need to think twice about it. | 01:24 |
| deadchip | Hobbsee: sorry i'm not going on that topic; even if they were breaking people's dist-upgrades, then what does this have _anything_ to do with if you'd include it into the main distribution? | 01:24 |
| deadchip | soryr but this looks like you're fishing for justifications | 01:24 |
| Hobbsee | nothing at all | 01:24 |
| deadchip | because you're just "scared" about the app and that's it | 01:24 |
| Hobbsee | i'm asking why you're including it, if it's breaking dist-upgrades for your users | 01:24 |
| deadchip | btw i'm not pushing here | 01:24 |
| deadchip | i just want to know why you insist this will break anything | 01:25 |
| Hobbsee | i've never even used the app. i just know of the breakage | 01:25 |
| ajmitch | deadchip: that is the stupidest thing I've heard for awhile | 01:25 |
| ajmitch | saying that we're "scared" of it | 01:25 |
| deadchip | ok then, what _is_ the reason? | 01:25 |
| ajmitch | the thing we have issues with are the broken dbus & other packages that were left up there for months, after complaints about them | 01:25 |
| deadchip | you're taking inofficial repositories which are not endorsed by us as a reason for possible inclusion of the package into Unbuntu in the future which would aside from itself solely depend on Ubuntu packages | 01:26 |
| ajmitch | I don't care one bit about bmpx itself | 01:26 |
| deadchip | that sounds like pretty much nonsense for me | 01:26 |
| ajmitch | deadchip: they were endorsed enough to be on your website, iirc | 01:26 |
| deadchip | they were not "endorsed" | 01:26 |
| deadchip | they were just listed there | 01:26 |
| ajmitch | ie endorsed | 01:26 |
| deadchip | how does that mean endorsed? | 01:26 |
| StevenK | deadchip: Enabling a repository will still have apt/aptitude upgrading a package if it notices a newer version. | 01:26 |
| StevenK | Hence the pain of dbus. | 01:27 |
| deadchip | good lord | 01:27 |
| ajmitch | you list it, you take responsibility | 01:27 |
| deadchip | allright so, let's say there were negative sideeffects because of our previous repositories | 01:27 |
| deadchip | and let's say we endorsed them (let's say..) | 01:27 |
| ajmitch | deadchip: note that none of this discussion has to do with inclusion of bmpx in universe | 01:27 |
| deadchip | then even if this both is true (which the former might be) | 01:27 |
| deadchip | then wouldn't _inclusion_ of it into Ubuntu proper do anything but _alleviate_ the problematic situation ? | 01:27 |
| deadchip | beacuse people wouldn't have to resort to 3rd party repositories ? | 01:28 |
| deadchip | note that i'm not pushing here but.. | 01:28 |
| Hobbsee | including it into universe would be a better solution, yes | 01:28 |
| deadchip | if you would include it, then people would not install it from other repos | 01:28 |
| ajmitch | deadchip: I'll repeat again, we're *not* arguing against inclusion into ubuntu | 01:28 |
| deadchip | and if you don't you'll still be getting broken system reports | 01:28 |
| ajmitch | you seem to have misunderstood what we're trying to say | 01:28 |
| deadchip | because people _will_ continue to install it from 3rd party repos | 01:28 |
| deadchip | as it's a popular app and people like it | 01:28 |
| deadchip | so no matter how broken the repos, the people like the app | 01:28 |
| === ajmitch wishes we could backlist some repositories | ||
| deadchip | the best way to alleviate this is to include it proper | 01:29 |
| === StevenK hands ajmitch an 'l' | ||
| Fujitsu | ajmitch: I think I'd prefer a whitelist. | 01:29 |
| deadchip | if one of our guys stops making a repository, then someone else will | 01:29 |
| Fujitsu | deadchip: This is beside the point at this time. | 01:29 |
| ajmitch | StevenK: sorry getting late, I'm getting annoyed with people who don't read | 01:29 |
| deadchip | and if that guy stops, then someone else again will | 01:29 |
| deadchip | Fujitsu: no it's not | 01:29 |
| deadchip | Fujitsu: my bottom line is: you're complaining about broken systems because of our repository | 01:29 |
| deadchip | or rather you're complaining about complaints | 01:30 |
| Fujitsu | Yes, and rightly so. | 01:30 |
| deadchip | now the point is | 01:30 |
| deadchip | Fujitsu: yeah | 01:30 |
| deadchip | i don't even deny it | 01:30 |
| deadchip | but | 01:30 |
| deadchip | if we stop making a repository | 01:30 |
| deadchip | then someone else will | 01:30 |
| deadchip | and if he stops, then someone _else_ will _again_ | 01:30 |
| deadchip | because people _like_ the app | 01:30 |
| deadchip | (just AAMOF) | 01:30 |
| Fujitsu | There's always the option of making a, you know... Not broken repository? | 01:30 |
| deadchip | and there will be continued broken systems | 01:30 |
| deadchip | and you will be getting continued reports about such systems | 01:30 |
| deadchip | because not everyone knows how to make a proper repository that fits in with the distribution | 01:31 |
| deadchip | the only _sane_ way to help this out is to include it properly into Ubuntu itself | 01:31 |
| StevenK | Only if they put something up that breaks. | 01:31 |
| deadchip | all past things aside (not that they don't matter), but this ^ is the only sane solution for the future | 01:31 |
| deadchip | StevenK: look you're treating me right now as you do | 01:31 |
| deadchip | and i'll tell you that if anyone from Ubuntu comes to mea | 01:31 |
| deadchip | me* | 01:31 |
| deadchip | (sorry system update running) | 01:31 |
| deadchip | asking us to remove our repository or "kindly endorsing us to remove it because it breaks ubuntu" | 01:32 |
| deadchip | then i'll just tell you all the same thing again: the best solution is to integrate it into the distribution itself | 01:32 |
| deadchip | i can't and won't stop people from making repositories | 01:32 |
| deadchip | i can as well stop downstream people from making downstream packages | 01:32 |
| deadchip | or "forbid" them to do so | 01:32 |
| StevenK | Can they do so and not include a broken dbus? | 01:32 |
| deadchip | StevenK: what do you really want me to say ? | 01:33 |
| deadchip | you want me to admit something | 01:33 |
| Fujitsu | Exactly what StevenK said. The issue is the repositories being broken, not the repositories themselves. | 01:33 |
| deadchip | but seirously that's not what i'm here for | 01:33 |
| deadchip | what you're saying is like | 01:33 |
| deadchip | i don't know, there is no good example | 01:33 |
| Fujitsu | If you create a repository which doesn't break things, other people won't have cause to create broken ones either. | 01:33 |
| deadchip | the situation itself is the best example | 01:33 |
| deadchip | Fujitsu: _we_ didn't _create_ it | 01:33 |
| deadchip | how often do i have to say it? | 01:33 |
| deadchip | maybe 5 more times | 01:33 |
| deadchip | someone who uses BMP created it and we hosted it on our server | 01:33 |
| Fujitsu | You should have requested that the author fix it, or not hosted it. | 01:34 |
| deadchip | not that anyone of the BMP developers knows a thing about Ubuntu | 01:34 |
| deadchip | (and hence we couldn't tell if it will break things or not) | 01:34 |
| Fujitsu | I believe complaints were made. | 01:34 |
| Hobbsee | perhaps you need to discuss with that person proper procedures and responsibilities? | 01:34 |
| deadchip | Fujitsu: fix it if we knew it's broken | 01:34 |
| deadchip | i believe not | 01:34 |
| deadchip | perhaps in here but not to us | 01:34 |
| Hobbsee | deadchip: right, so you didnt make these ubuntu packages - you're the upstream maintainer? | 01:34 |
| deadchip | allright this makes no sense | 01:34 |
| ajmitch | deadchip: the person who made the repository, it was nexu, right? | 01:34 |
| deadchip | guys figure the rest out yourself | 01:35 |

| deadchip | i can't see how a possible future inclusion has anything to do with what the repositories did in the past | 01:36 |
| deadchip | Hobbsee: i believe you can read configure.ac | 01:36 |
| ajmitch | deadchip: "we won't fix the breakage until you include our software" isn't really the best means of working together | 01:36 |
| Fujitsu | deadchip: There would be good reasons for it not being included yet, I'm sure. | 01:36 |
| deadchip | i'm not _asking_ for inclusion even, just _by the way_ | 01:36 |
| deadchip | i am not particularily _interested_ into inclusion either | 01:36 |
| Hobbsee | deadchip: basically, you're saying "we want this into ubuntu", and we're saying "your packages are causing breakage" or what? | 01:36 |
| deadchip | do it, or don't, like you want | 01:36 |
| deadchip | all i wanted to know is why you think it will "break things" _ONCE_ it is _IN_ Ubuntu itself | 01:37 |
| Fujitsu | deadchip: You were saying `include it or we'll continue to break your systems,' basically. | 01:37 |
| Hobbsee | deadchip: it likely wont. | 01:37 |
| deadchip | Hobbsee: what i'm saying is "i want to know why you think the app will break things once it's in Ubuntu itself" | 01:37 |
| Hobbsee | deadchip: in current situation, it does | 01:37 |
| deadchip | Hobbsee: good so what is the point ? | 01:37 |
| Hobbsee | deadchip: i dont think it will - i dont think it will be able to | 01:37 |
| deadchip | having a bad day and ride on things past? | 01:37 |
| xopher | Fujitsu, '(Fujitsu) There's always the option of making a, you know... Not broken repository?' The current repository is not broken. The broken repo you are talking about was for dapper. Its obsolete and inactive now. | 01:37 |
| Hobbsee | i'm not sure. but i think we should harrass the guy who backported dbus, and made teh ubuntu packages | 01:37 |
| deadchip | Hobbsee: and what will you have from thata? | 01:38 |
| deadchip | that* | 01:38 |
| deadchip | personal satisfaction ? | 01:38 |
| Fujitsu | Unless inactive means no longer accessible, it's still broken. | 01:38 |
| deadchip | you harass that guy and then another one makes another broken repo | 01:38 |
| deadchip | Hobbsee: don't you see that it is pointless to bang on broken repos because this is incontrollable by you ? | 01:38 |
| deadchip | someone will make eventually another "broken repo" | 01:38 |
| deadchip | it is pointless | 01:38 |
| deadchip | right | 01:39 |
| === deadchip deletes the repository | ||
| Hobbsee | deadchip: that is true. hopefully the person could be educated on why a repo is bad. | 01:39 |
| deadchip | if that makes you any happier, i'm glade to | 01:39 |
| deadchip | glad to* | 01:39 |
| deadchip | Hobbsee: oh i see this is a mission of education | 01:39 |
| deadchip | not of providing applications and an OS to users | 01:39 |
| xopher | Fujitsu, not accessible | 01:39 |
| deadchip | right... | 01:39 |
| Fujitsu | xopher: Good. But it was accessible for some time, and caused a lot of breakage. | 01:40 |
| deadchip | FWIW i don't care if you include BMPx into Ubuntu or not because there are enough people who like the app and will be wanting to install it one way or another anyway | 01:40 |
| deadchip | the _best_ thing you can do | 01:40 |
| xopher | Well I cant say anything about that, because I wasnt in the picture back then | 01:40 |
| Hobbsee | is to stick it in ubuntu | 01:40 |
| deadchip | (you're basically, just fwiw, denying the popularity of the app) | 01:40 |
| deadchip | the best thing you can do is to stick it into ubuntu | 01:40 |
| deadchip | right | 01:40 |
| deadchip | or you will get complaints all over and over again | 01:40 |
| Hobbsee | not at all. however, my next question is "how do we get this into ubuntu" | 01:40 |
| deadchip | this is not a "threat" or sth | 01:40 |
| deadchip | it's just a matter of fact because as long as you don't | 01:41 |
| deadchip | people will be making 3rd party repos | 01:41 |
| deadchip | and you can spend your time either on going on a mission of education | 01:41 |
| deadchip | and tell them how to fix their broken repos | 01:41 |
| ajmitch | deadchip: that's the problem with any piece of software | 01:41 |
| StevenK | deadchip: At which point people will turn around and say "Put the latest SVN HEAD of BMPx into this released version of Ubuntu because I want it." ? | 01:41 |
| deadchip | or just simply include it yourself (like 20 other distros do) | 01:41 |
| xopher | Hobbsee, well Im working on that as we speak, already uploaded to revu as I stated before, now its up to MOTUs to take a look at it | 01:41 |
| deadchip | and be sane with the situation | 01:41 |

| === imbrandon is away, lunch time | ||
| psusi | ohh, I thought version numbers started with 0 | 05:40 |
| psusi | cool, thanks | 05:40 |
| imbrandon | depends on the part of the version number, but the ubuntu revisions normaly start with 1 | 05:41 |
| psusi | I see | 05:41 |
| imbrandon | ( and target the development version e.g. feisty , not unstable ) , but other than that looks sound | 05:41 |
| psusi | does the target actually do anything? | 05:42 |
| imbrandon | yes | 05:42 |
| psusi | it was unstable because it was synced from debian.... and since it seemed to build fine on edgy I didn't think I needed to change it | 05:42 |
| imbrandon | if you look at the pool in the archive, all ubuntu ( and debian ) debs are kept in the same pool for all versions | 05:42 |
| psusi | ohh | 05:42 |
| imbrandon | yes it will build , but that dosent make it correct | 05:42 |
| imbrandon | :) | 05:42 |
| psusi | so why are the packages that are auto synced from debian left as unstable? | 05:43 |
| imbrandon | thus the target is needed to be set so apt knows what is what | 05:43 |
| imbrandon | because they are not rebuilt, they are imported | 05:43 |
| imbrandon | if i upload a targeted version for unstable to ubuntu it would be rejected becouse soyuz wqould choke on it as a unknown dist | 05:44 |
| imbrandon | anyhow not a huge mistake, just wanted to let you know for future ref | 05:44 |
| Adri2000 | imbrandon: huh? synced packages are not rebuilt in an ubuntu chroot? | 05:45 |
| imbrandon | brb , food is ready | 05:45 |

| imbrandon | Adri2000: not in the same way as uploaded ones | 05:45 |

| slytherin | Is this the right place to ask pbuilder questions? | 05:47 |
| imbrandon | slytherin: yes | 05:48 |
| psusi | some libs on amd64 are built badly and hog mem... let me investigate of they were imported from debian vs. being ubuntu uploads | 05:48 |
| imbrandon | psusi: possibly, but i doubt it, as amd64 by nature uses much more ram for its binarys , its probably just badly ported 32bit code | 05:48 |
| slytherin | imbrandon: Can I share cache between apt and pbuilder? Is it ok if I change pbuilder cache directory to point to apt cache directory? | 05:48 |
| imbrandon | compiled for 64bit | 05:48 |
| imbrandon | slytherin: now that i do not know, but i would assume so, worst case is it wont work and you have to unpoint it | 05:49 |
| psusi | imbrandon: no no... the libs are built wrong... they have a 1 MB alignment requirement in the headers | 05:49 |
| psusi | so even if the lib is only 30 kb, it still uses up a 1 meg chunk of memory | 05:50 |
| slytherin | imbrandon: I will try. I have one more question. | 05:50 |
| imbrandon | as i said a bad port | 05:50 |
| psusi | just some silly linker setting when they were built | 05:52 |
| slytherin | imbrandon: I have created a package from a svn sync and installed. Now I want to create another package whose build depends on first package. But since first package is not in repositories listing, how would pbuilder know its existence. | 05:52 |
| === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| imbrandon | it wont unless you login to the pbuilder and install it ( access via bindmount is the easy way ) | 05:53 |

| imbrandon | ok REALLY food time, if you still need help when i get done eating slytherin i'll help you more | 05:54 |
| psusi | yea, you either have to copy the file to the pbuilder cache, login, and install it, or set up your own repository and add it as a source for the pbuilder environment | 05:54 |

| PriceChild | Hey there... really easy question from a first timer | 06:39 |
| PriceChild | I'm building a package from someone else's source | 06:39 |
| Adri2000 | eh, I have spoken too quickly, a B-D is missing... | 06:39 |
| PriceChild | do i keep their name as the "maintainer"? | 06:39 |
| PriceChild | and "just" put my name in the copyright as packager? | 06:40 |
| giskard | put your name in the changelog, nothing else. (ihmo) | 06:40 |
| Adri2000 | all the packages from debian have not been synced yet? | 06:41 |
| PriceChild | giskard: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/basic-scratch.html suggests otherwise? | 06:42 |
| PriceChild | There's already a debian changelog there with everything already in... should i add a new entry at the top of the changelog to add me as a maintainer and it as a feisty package etc. | 06:43 |
| PriceChild | or just modify the previous line? | 06:43 |
| giskard | add a new entry | 06:44 |
| imbrandon | PriceChild: ok, whoa , back up here, exactly what are you doing ? | 06:44 |

| PriceChild | I'm trying to package xvidcap.... | 06:44 |
| imbrandon | i thought you said there is a chagelog etc, this sugests its packaged already, are you then updating that package? | 06:45 |
| PriceChild | here's where confusion begins :) | 06:45 |
| PriceChild | There's no official debian package | 06:45 |
| PriceChild | however | 06:45 |
| PriceChild | on sourceforge there is a deb | 06:45 |
| PriceChild | and a tar.gz | 06:45 |
| imbrandon | that dosent matter, are you updateing the deb? | 06:46 |
| PriceChild | I decided it was best to start from scratch - correct me if wrong? | 06:46 |
| imbrandon | wrong | 06:46 |
| PriceChild | :) | 06:46 |
| PriceChild | I just wasn't sure whether it was the best idea to start using other debs etc. | 06:46 |
| imbrandon | its always best to use whats already there , if it needs fixing , fix it, then send a patch to them showing what you fix'ed BUT ok ...... | 06:47 |
| imbrandon | here is the deal, lets get you off on the right foot | 06:47 |
| PriceChild | i'm all ears :) | 06:47 |
| imbrandon | forget what you have already done for a moment ....... dont throw it away , it might be usefull, just bear with me | 06:48 |
| imbrandon | ok | 06:48 |
| PriceChild | ok | 06:48 |
| imbrandon | now articulate what you wish to happen ultimately as the goal | 06:48 |

| PriceChild | he he no not yet.... | 06:50 |
| PriceChild | I'd been following the ubuntu wiki step by step with making a new package | 06:51 |
| imbrandon | ok here is what you have to do from here in simplified steps, if you need help with a particualr step as you get to them ask, but here is an overview of "the right way" | 06:51 |
| imbrandon | right but the package is already made so its a bit diffrent | 06:51 |
| imbrandon | soooo what you need to do now is | 06:51 |
| imbrandon | grab the deb src from sf.net just how they have it , test build it ( preferably with pbuilder , a howto set that up on the wiki ) then .... | 06:52 |
| imbrandon | if there are minor changes that need to be made make them and add a changelog entry to reflect that, if not just leave it as is | 06:52 |
| imbrandon | and upload to REVU ( url in the topic ) | 06:53 |
| imbrandon | from there a ubuntu developer such as those in this chan will revu it and upload to the main archives | 06:53 |
| PriceChild | Ok... but otherwise if it works, then i don't need to touch it? | 06:53 |
| imbrandon | correct | 06:53 |
| nixternal | imbrandon: is it safe to look through m.k.c/k/ and grab a kde app or two for a merge (i.e., don't want to step on someones toes if it is already in their todo list) | 06:53 |

| ubotu | pbuilder is a system to easily build packages in a clean chroot environment. To get started with PBuilder, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto | 06:58 |
| PriceChild | yeah i'm on that page | 06:58 |
| PriceChild | i think i get it... | 06:58 |
| PriceChild | bear with me :) | 06:58 |
| imbrandon | PriceChild: tbh its not something you will learn in 5 minutes, read the wiki, try it a bit etc etc etc :) | 06:59 |
| imbrandon | if you run into problems with specifics we can help | 06:59 |
| imbrandon | secretlondon: one sec | 06:59 |
| PriceChild | he he thanks for helping :) much appreciated | 07:00 |
| imbrandon | :) | 07:00 |
| imbrandon | secretlondon: it looks like the merge never got done, its not a sync, it is a merge because there is a ubuntu delta to check | 07:01 |
| imbrandon | secretlondon: i'll see if i can figure out why the merge wasent done | 07:01 |
| secretlondon | the diff just looks like desktop and icon | 07:02 |
| imbrandon | most likely , but when there are ubuntu changes it dosent autosync | 07:02 |
| imbrandon | it has to be checked by hand, and can be easily overlooked | 07:02 |
| secretlondon | debian's web access to changelogs seems to be broken atm | 07:02 |
| secretlondon | imbrandon: thanks. we're getting quite a few dupes so it'd be great to fix | 07:03 |
| imbrandon | secretlondon: sure think, it looks like all changes were adpoted upstream, i'll check a little closer to be sure and file a sync req, should be done by early next week as long as everything go's smooth | 07:04 |
| imbrandon | thing* | 07:04 |
| secretlondon | thanks! | 07:04 |

| imbrandon | LaserJock: i need help !!!! , i'm not a good teacher and we have some new hopefulls arround :) | 07:05 |
| imbrandon | hehehe | 07:05 |
| secretlondon | we need some sort of ubuntu training programme | 07:06 |
| LaserJock | we do | 07:06 |
| imbrandon | secretlondon: well we sorta have one, just not the manpower to keep it uptodate | 07:06 |
| imbrandon | :) | 07:06 |
| LaserJock | it's just not exactly going full speed ahead right now | 07:06 |
| secretlondon | imbrandon: mentors? | 07:06 |
| LaserJock | we have MOTU Mentors and MOTU School | 07:06 |
| imbrandon | mentors and MOTU-school | 07:06 |
| secretlondon | everyone needs help, but nothing will get done if all the motu mentor? | 07:07 |
| imbrandon | heh | 07:07 |
| LaserJock | ok, so who all needs some training? | 07:07 |
| imbrandon | PriceChild: i think is looking for some LaserJock , i pointed him in the general direction, but i'm sure he would like lots more | 07:08 |
| imbrandon | LaserJock: nixternal is picking up the pace with merges too this cycle ( today and yesterday ) | 07:08 |
| imbrandon | and there was one or two others in and out today | 07:09 |
| imbrandon | i forget the names | 07:09 |
| LaserJock | k | 07:09 |
| LaserJock | well, we have 5 decent sessions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School for people to read | 07:09 |
| imbrandon | and whom knows if secretlondon would like to get her feet wet lol | 07:09 |
| imbrandon | err his, err umm their | 07:10 |
| imbrandon | :) | 07:10 |
| secretlondon | imbrandon: I will do at some point - I've said so on my launchpad page | 07:10 |
| secretlondon | her | 07:10 |
| secretlondon | but their is fine | 07:10 |
| imbrandon | i thought so , just wasent 100% lol | 07:10 |
| secretlondon | :) | 07:10 |
| secretlondon | i think one thing will be getting people to read and practice | 07:11 |
| LaserJock | imbrandon: yeah.... you never know | 07:11 |
| imbrandon | anyhow yea, maybe her too LaserJock :), point is i think we need a nother general MOTU hoto get started session soonish, i wouldent mind helping with it but i'm not the greatest teacher | 07:11 |
| imbrandon | :) | 07:11 |
| imbrandon | well i think i've talked to secretlondon at one point or another and it came up, thats why it was in the back of my mind, but no matter, i dont care if he/she is purple and from mars | 07:12 |
| imbrandon | :) | 07:12 |
| secretlondon | :P | 07:12 |

| imbrandon | haha | 07:12 |

| LaserJock | if I can shrink it down to 1hr then it'd be easier to teach | 07:13 |
| imbrandon | LaserJock: yea | 07:13 |
| nixternal | ya, i need to concentrate on some MOTU schooling | 07:13 |
| secretlondon | hobbsee rocks | 07:13 |
| PriceChild | I am here.... just not really around imbrandon... i will check those links thanks :) | 07:14 |
| nixternal | imbrandon: im gonna have a knemo merge done here in a few, and tonio isn't around, so if i supply you with the debdiff, you mind looking at it? | 07:14 |
| PriceChild | i love hobbsee ) | 07:14 |
| imbrandon | LaserJock: ye i think a general session on "where to start" would be good, as most are well enough off to specialize and ask questions after they get into it a bit | 07:14 |
| LaserJock | PriceChild, secretlondon, nixternal : you might be interested in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School/PackagingBasics | 07:14 |
| nixternal | im test buildin' it now | 07:14 |

| PriceChild | how do i get rid of the one i just made in a moment of stupidity with "sudo pbuilder create " | 07:17 |
| imbrandon | PriceChild: you can just leave it, its not a big deal to have more than one | 07:17 |
| imbrandon | i ahve 4 or 5 or 6 | 07:17 |
| nixternal | i have the multiple setup (which if you follow the wiki page, it will more than likely hose you around a little bit, so i will edit that soon once i am ironed out myself) | 07:17 |
| imbrandon | for diffrent os's | 07:17 |
| PriceChild | It doesn't take too much space does it? | 07:17 |
| imbrandon | PriceChild: last i looked about 200mb a peice for a basic setup | 07:18 |

| imbrandon | ? | 07:51 |
| PriceChild | just got back | 07:51 |
| PriceChild | I installed the xvidcap deb from the SF... and it works flawlessely | 07:51 |
| PriceChild | (i can't spell or package ;) ) | 07:51 |
| imbrandon | heh, ok , grab the source for that deb, and build it in pbuilder | 07:51 |
| imbrandon | if it builds fine then upload it to revu | 07:52 |
| PriceChild | Ok :) | 07:52 |
| PriceChild | uuu.. | 07:52 |
| PriceChild | one little thing | 07:52 |
| imbrandon | ? | 07:52 |
| PriceChild | wait no doesn't matter | 07:52 |
| PriceChild | answered my own question :) | 07:52 |
| slytherin | imbrandon: You were to help me with pbuilder | 07:52 |
| imbrandon | heh | 07:52 |
| imbrandon | slytherin: sure what do you need ? | 07:52 |
| PriceChild | now to learn how to use pbuilder! :) | 07:52 |
| PriceChild | cya | 07:52 |
| slytherin | imbrandon: We discussed it just before you went out for food. How to install a package in pbuilder env. | 07:53 |
| imbrandon | ahh right, ok you need to copy the deb to say your home dir then " pbuilder login --save-after-login --bindmount /home/username " | 07:54 |
| imbrandon | then you can dpkg -i the deb as normal, exit the pbuilder | 07:54 |
| imbrandon | and it will be installed in your pbuilder then | 07:54 |
| slytherin | imbrandon: let me try | 07:55 |
| PriceChild | imbrandon: am i meant to be changing the changelog at all? Or should i skip this section? | 07:56 |
| PriceChild | and control...? its already got the debian folder etc. | 07:57 |
| imbrandon | PriceChild: no grab the source for the deb first, e.g. the *.dsc *.diff.gz *.orig.tar.gz and build it with no changes | 07:57 |
| imbrandon | like pbuilder build *.dsc | 07:57 |
| PriceChild | ah ok yeah... | 07:58 |
| PriceChild | problem being sourceforge only has tar.gz | 07:58 |
| imbrandon | make sure it builds, you only need to change the chagelog if you change something | 07:58 |

| enyc | LaserJock: not sure.. but here is a definite discrepancy:- | 09:19 |
| LaserJock | enyc: there often is on packages.ubuntu.com | 09:19 |
| LaserJock | especially with the dev release | 09:20 |
| Adri2000 | LaserJock: there are some modifications to do to make it work correctly with ubuntu | 09:20 |

| enyc | LaserJock: i appreciate fiesty universe (not multiverse necessarially) was only synced recently | 09:20 |

| enyc | LaserJock: ok.. hence why I was asking where is the right place to ask/query/report bug about this ;-) | 09:24 |
| LaserJock | enyc: and the answer is no, but also what I'm trying to say is that packages.u.c is not the best place to be looking for package info on the dev release | 09:25 |
| enyc | LaserJock: I see I see | 09:25 |
| LaserJock | :-) | 09:25 |
| Adri2000 | LaserJock: the package is debian is still at its first version (initial version), so maybe I could merge the two changelogs, and in the ubuntu1, I could mention "now using the debian package", what do you think? | 09:26 |
| Adri2000 | s/is debian/in debian/ | 09:26 |
| LaserJock | Adri2000: if you merge the Debian version keep the Debian changelog | 09:27 |
| LaserJock | and add on a new entry describing the changes you made | 09:27 |
| Adri2000 | yes yes, the changelog will be: ... -0ubuntu1, -1, -1ubuntu1 | 09:28 |
| geser | Adri2000: afaik you don't need to keep the ubuntu changelog entries if doing a sync with debian (keep them only when doing a merge) | 09:28 |
| LaserJock | Adri2000: <debian version>-ubuntu1 | 09:29 |
| LaserJock | geser: he's doing a merge | 09:29 |
| Adri2000 | hmm, I won't merge the sources | 09:30 |
| LaserJock | Adri2000: how big are the differences? | 09:30 |
| LaserJock | it's generally a best practice to start from the Debian source package | 09:31 |
| Adri2000 | that's what I want to do | 09:31 |
| Adri2000 | differences: https://patches.ubuntu.com/b/briquolo/briquolo_0.5.5-0ubuntu1.patch | 09:31 |

| LaserJock | right | 09:38 |
| Adri2000 | it will look like the package is in ubuntu since feisty but it's wrong | 09:39 |

| === anibal [n=anibal@debian/developer/anibal] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| LaserJock | rmjb: not particularly | 09:46 |
| LaserJock | rmjb: are you using debhelper? | 09:46 |
| rmjb | cdbs for that one | 09:47 |
| psusi | take a look at another package that splits into multiple binary targets for an example | 09:47 |
| psusi | like e2fsprogs | 09:47 |
| LaserJock | rmjb: basically it involves adding more binary sections to debian/control | 09:47 |
| psusi | it splits into like 3 applications packages, a lib package, a udeb | 09:47 |
| LaserJock | and some modifications to say which files should go with which binary package | 09:48 |
| psusi | LaserJock: and modifying the rules makefile to only copy the correct files into the correct binary target | 09:48 |
| rmjb | cool, I'll take a look... | 09:48 |
| rmjb | generally anything that goes into /usr/lib or the like goes into a lib package? | 09:49 |
| Admiral_Chicago | dholbach: can i talk to you for a sec about accessbility | 09:49 |
| rmjb | because the comment on revu only mentioned specific libraries where there's much more | 09:49 |
| dholbach | Admiral_Chicago: I'm currently in a meeting | 09:49 |
| psusi | rmjb: yea... that way other packages that use those libraries can depend on the library package, rather than the entire thing ( libs and apps ) | 09:49 |
| Admiral_Chicago | is there a channel i can meet you in later? motu work? | 09:50 |
| dholbach | Admiral_Chicago: can I propose you talk to heno or themuso or write to ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com ? | 09:50 |
| dholbach | Admiral_Chicago: or drop me a mail? | 09:50 |
| Admiral_Chicago | i'll email the list | 09:50 |
| Admiral_Chicago | thanks | 09:50 |
| dholbach | thanks a lot | 09:50 |
| rmjb | psusi: thanks | 09:50 |
| rmjb | while I have some attention, can a motu take a look at my other package on REVU? and leave comments or advocate? http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=3449 | 09:51 |

| PriceChild | anyway... | 10:46 |

| Hobbsee | PriceChild: :) | 10:46 |
| PriceChild | tar.gz dsc and the other one | 10:46 |

| Hobbsee | PriceChild: yep | 10:51 |
| PriceChild | not sure how to use diff on this though... | 10:51 |
| Hobbsee | ugh, upstream is giving a debian dir? | 10:51 |
| PriceChild | diff xvidcap-1.1.4p1/ xvidcap-1.1.4p1.orig/ | 10:51 |
| PriceChild | didn't do much | 10:52 |
| PriceChild | yeah | 10:52 |
| Hobbsee | nah, that'd just give you debian/ | 10:52 |
| Hobbsee | well, should | 10:52 |
| PriceChild | Only in xvidcap-1.1.4p1.orig/: debian | 10:52 |

| PriceChild | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32407/ | 10:54 |
| PriceChild | remove what? | 10:54 |
| Hobbsee | the debian/ dir | 10:55 |

| PriceChild | (the one without the "debian" being *.orig.tar.gz) | 10:57 |
| bhale | no? | 10:58 |
| bhale | dpkg-buildpackage does all of this | 10:58 |

| PriceChild | Ok yeah | 11:01 |
| Hobbsee | where retar is making it a .tar.gz, not just a .tar | 11:01 |
| PriceChild | I just made a copy, renamed it then openned it in archive manager and removed the debian folder in there... less hastle... hope that's sufficient? | 11:03 |
| Hobbsee | yeah, that works | 11:03 |
| PriceChild | gd gd | 11:03 |
| PriceChild | now diff? | 11:03 |
| Hobbsee | the md5sum on it will be different anyway. *glares at the maintainer* | 11:03 |
| PriceChild | ha ha | 11:03 |
| Hobbsee | now you can use the debian/ dir that was provided, and follow http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html | 11:04 |
| PriceChild | ok | 11:04 |
| Hobbsee | PriceChild: basically, you want to split packaging and source | 11:04 |
| PriceChild | and just not worry about md5sums | 11:04 |
| PriceChild | Hobbsee you just confused me compeltely there :) | 11:04 |
| Hobbsee | PriceChild: packaging == debian dir, source == the rest, the stuff you download off the website | 11:05 |
| Hobbsee | PriceChild: else you could just be adding random bits into the source, instead of just into the packaging, and i could never verify that what i downloaded off a website was the same as your package, minus debian/ | 11:05 |
| Hobbsee | if that makes any sense | 11:06 |
| PriceChild | that last bit makes sense | 11:06 |
| PriceChild | I'm sorry if i'm being really really dense... but cannot understand which bits of the guide apply to what you just tole me | 11:06 |
| PriceChild | *told | 11:06 |
| Hobbsee | it's fine | 11:06 |
| Hobbsee | oh yeah, right | 11:06 |
| Hobbsee | PriceChild: you want the stuff under http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/basic-chap.html | 11:07 |
| Hobbsee | i'd probably do it with debhelper | 11:08 |
| PriceChild | ok | 11:08 |
| PriceChild | thanks :) | 11:08 |
| Hobbsee | not a problem | 11:09 |
| PriceChild | ok... i do dh_make inside the original tar? | 11:09 |
| PriceChild | or the "orig" one that i removed debian from? | 11:09 |
| Hobbsee | PriceChild: the latter. you shouldnt actually have to, depending on how good the current debian dir is. | 11:10 |

| Hobbsee | change the debhelper dep to version >5 | 11:19 |

| PriceChild | I've just changed control also | 11:48 |
| PriceChild | wait no.... | 11:49 |
| PriceChild | i'm inside the folder without debian | 11:49 |
| PriceChild | and i ran dch -i | 11:50 |
| PriceChild | which can't be right... | 11:50 |
| PriceChild | ok it is... | 11:51 |
| PriceChild | it had debian in before | 11:51 |
| PriceChild | because its still got the original copyright etc. | 11:51 |
| PriceChild | ok so now all i've got to do is look at rules | 11:52 |
| Hobbsee | yep | 11:58 |
| PriceChild | wait a min... | 11:58 |
| PriceChild | when i ran dch -i | 11:58 |
| PriceChild | i didn't change the versioning to -0ubuntu1 | 11:59 |
| PriceChild | should i change that in control and rename the folder? | 11:59 |
| PriceChild | Hobbsee | 12:00 |
| === conall [n=conall@2001:770:12b:0:0:0:426f:3127] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Hobbsee | the folder will auto rename. yes, you should change it | 12:01 |
| Hobbsee | it'll reject if you dont | 12:01 |
| conall | anyone here able to look at REVU for me please? | 12:01 |
| pygi | conall: sure, what ya need? | 12:01 |
| PriceChild | (it did change it to -p2... which it isn't... changing it to -p1-0ubuntu1) | 12:01 |
| Hobbsee | PriceChild: correct. it's a debian thing | 12:02 |
| Hobbsee | ie, that it's changing to -p2 | 12:02 |
| conall | pygi: I keep getting an error when I try to dput my .changes file | 12:02 |
| conall | Uploading to revu (via ftp to revu.tauware.de): | 12:02 |
| conall | queuegraph_1.1.1-3.dsc: | 12:02 |
| conall | Error '553 Could not create file.' during ftp transfer of queuegraph_1.1.1-3.dsc | 12:02 |
| pygi | conall: have you already uploaded it once? | 12:02 |
| conall | I did, but it never appeared on the web frontend | 12:02 |
| pygi | conall: you joined the right LP team, and made admin re-sync keyrings? | 12:03 |
| conall | I'm on the LP team and I think my key is synced. | 12:04 |
| pygi | conall: first, you should wait some time before it appears. second, what's your package name? | 12:04 |
| conall | I joined the LP team in Sept, 2 months should be enough time :) | 12:05 |
| conall | package is called queuegraph | 12:05 |
| PriceChild | Hobbsee: dpkg-source: error: source package has two conflicting values - xvidcap-debhelper and xvidcap | 12:05 |
| PriceChild | where else should the name be changed to xvidcap-debhelper other than control? | 12:06 |
| LaserJock | conall: btw, that's not a correct version number for Ubuntu | 12:06 |
| pygi | conall: hm, no package really. | 12:06 |
| conall | scanning the wiki docs don't say I have to rename my debian package if it simply works on both Debian and Ubuntu | 12:06 |
| conall | *rename my package revision | 12:07 |
| Burgwork | conall: if your package is in debian, request a sync | 12:07 |
| Burgwork | if you want to make local ubuntu changes, upload a -XubuntuY version to Ubuntu | 12:07 |
| Hobbsee | PriceChild: sorry? where's xvidcap-debhelper come into it? | 12:07 |
| PriceChild | when i asked if i had to change xvidcap to xvidcap-debhelper as the wiki example suggested you said i should... | 12:08 |
| conall | Yeah, a sync is probably easier. Probably best to wait until my current package version moved from Debian's incoming to sid first though | 12:08 |
| PriceChild | guessing i shouldn't have? | 12:08 |
| LaserJock | conall: yeah, for sure. If it's in or going to be in Debian it's much easier to sync | 12:09 |
| PriceChild | Hobbsee: ok switched it back to xvidcap | 12:09 |
| PriceChild | ran a "debuild -S" | 12:10 |
| PriceChild | worked much better.... | 12:10 |
| PriceChild | but still not right | 12:10 |
| Hobbsee | why so, not right? | 12:10 |
