[11:04] asking for a sync again and patching it after upstream version freeze again? [11:04] or you merge it now [11:05] rather than leaving it unpatched [11:05] is it on merges.ubuntu.com ? [11:05] mom might have done the work for you already ;) [11:05] that sounds nice :-) [11:06] i will have a look === b_lindeijer [n=bjorn@lindeijer.xs4all.nl] has left #ubuntu-motu [] [11:08] nope :-( does not seem so [11:08] what is it ? [11:09] dvdrip [11:09] ah, that was not originally from debian, was it? [11:09] who do i poke to make a schedutils sync with debian? (automatic that is). [11:09] nope, debian-multimedia :-( [11:09] fdoving: If it has no Ubuntu changes, it'll be synced within a couple of days. [11:10] fdoving: since it's modified in ubuntu, someone needs to merge any changes [11:10] or I see that you made the last changes.. [11:10] We seem to have a new upstream version in Ubuntu... [11:10] so file a sync request on malone, details are on the DeveloperResources wiki page [11:11] ajmitch: can the ubuntu changes silently die? - the debian package is way better. [11:11] then subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors [11:11] if they're really not needed, and the orig.tar.gz is the same, then yes [11:11] make sure you mention that in the bug you file [11:12] I already have a bugreport, i'll subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors. [11:12] other example is pgadmin3, which is in ubuntu [11:12] and was synced from debian [11:13] btw, do we already know if thunderbird will be renamed in ubuntu? because if not, it will shoot some plugin packages in universe.. [11:14] pirast: It is unlikely that it will be renamed here as well... [11:14] This will increase delta with Debian, but we'll have to live with that. [11:15] :-( that's bad.. I fixed enigmail-locales in Edgy.. and it was hard work (renaming and replacing with sed) [11:17] hrm i wonder if there are gonna be any archive admins on today ( to process the NEW queue ) [11:18] unlikely [11:18] given that they're all in UK/Europe, and it's sunday [11:18] yea === imbrandon sulks [11:18] i wanted to try it on my lappy but really dident want to compile it again [11:19] but i guess i will [11:19] beryl? [11:19] yea [11:19] but you had i386 packages? [11:19] lappy is ppc [11:19] ah yes [11:19] one of those [11:19] :) [11:20] do I care enough to install beryl stuff on the laptop again? [11:20] dosent seem TOO bad on my desktop [11:20] runs mostly fine on the desktop, except for a few nasty bugs [11:20] yea i have a few "what window should be on top" annoyances [11:20] that seems to be the main things [11:21] and alt tab seems iffy at best === mr_pouit [n=silk@81.56.214.84] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:21] I've gone back to metacity already [11:21] but over all its not near as bad as i thought [11:21] .. and beryl doesn't work well with two monitors :] [11:21] fdoving: which is what I have [11:21] me too. [11:21] i wont till next month :( [11:21] i have another question: when an archive admin syncs a package from a debian-like repository, will it be autosynced then? === imbrandon is buying a new system next month , yay [11:22] might work for you, but for me and the open ati drivers, it didn't work well. [11:22] iirc all problems with that are now in the plugins and most of them have been fixed [11:22] pirast: I don't think so [11:22] but only in SVN, of course [11:22] ajmitch, thanks [11:22] as of about 3 days ago, i think [11:22] (multihead) [11:22] imbrandon: since your little amd64 just isn't good enough... [11:22] fdoving: thats what my lappy uses , the open ati drivers [11:22] imbrandon: we have the same :) [11:23] ajmitch: hehe i'm gonna buy a 4 core ( 2x dual core ) amd i think [11:23] works OK without extra monitor. [11:23] last time i tried compiz on ppc with the ati driver it all blew up [11:23] imbrandon: yeah, we all hate you, that's ok [11:23] of course that was right after dapper came out [11:23] problems with the driver, i guess === rytmisk [n=irc@155.143.139.95] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:23] Amaranth: what xorg magic do i have to do to my lappy to get bery to run [11:23] beryl [11:24] opensource ati [11:24] ( no i'm not loading the binary driver ) [11:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy === Adri2000 [n=Adri2000@unaffiliated/adri2000] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:24] bah [11:24] :) [11:24] and the binary driver doesn't even work on ppc, does it? [11:24] dunno [11:24] 'never tried it === ajmitch would rather use a free driver anyway === imbrandon goes to dig out the laptop [11:25] ajmitch: me too [11:26] me too === Amaranth wishes for nouveau [11:26] yeah === ajmitch recompiles nouveau again [11:26] btw, did you know the only real maintainer of the nv driver is an nvidia employee who works on their linux driver? === ajmitch needs dual-head though [11:26] yes, I know that [11:27] it's annoying [11:27] and that he won't accept patches for features [11:27] the nouveau driver is already better for 2d [11:28] of course he won't, that'd make the binary driver less useful :P === Amaranth might have to try it [11:28] Nouveau actually works? [11:28] I thought it was still very unworking... [11:28] the day it gets good enough to run beryl without crashing for at least 12 hours is the day i start using it full time [11:28] it's rather useless for 3d [11:29] i suspect i have at least 6 months to wait [11:29] but the ddx component is based off the nv driver, with some deobfuscation === redguy [n=mati@public-gprs8480.centertel.pl] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:29] the 2d driver does require you use the drm module, which can't be loaded at the same time as the binary nvidia module [11:30] they both want to own the same device, would that ever work? [11:30] it'd be nice if you could have 2 cards & have the modules own 1 each :) [11:30] and i want a pony [11:31] no pony for you === ajmitch wonders if it's possible to get an nvidia pcie card that's not 16x === adrian_ [n=adrian@82.76.85.226] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:34] maybe I should just do an imbrandon & get a whole new box ;) [11:34] get one of those geforce 8800 GTX cards === Fujitsu wishes Intel would make non-integrated graphics cards. === ajmitch has heard rumours that they will [11:36] they used to - I've got an old i740 agp card [11:36] ajmitch: hehe i figured that i got a new job i deserved a new computer ( but i still have to wait till next month ) [11:36] there's no point in them doing it. only a very very small handful of people want them to === anish_ [n=anish@S0106000d889197ca.ed.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Q-FUNK [n=q-funk@dsl-hkigw8-feb6fb00-217.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:39] imbrandon: what quad-core cpu will you get?

[11:52] not hardware RAID, unless you get a real expensive chipset [11:52] hehehe [11:52] most consumer hardware RAID stuff sucks [11:53] we lurve crack [11:53] ahh [11:53] proprietary on-disk formats, buggy firmware, you name it [11:53] with quad-core, you have more than enough power to handle software RAID [11:53] is +t set here? [11:53] Amaranth: no === ajmitch does raid 5 with no problems on this slow old dual-core box :) === tonyyserver [n=anthony@d235-240-148.home1.cgocable.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:58] "slow old dual-core" hah [11:58] :) === StevenK notes he doesn't trust software raid 5. [11:58] i would only do striping anyhow, and then backups === slytherin [n=onkar@59.95.14.17] has left #ubuntu-motu [] [11:59] My /home is on RAID 1. [11:59] Well, shared network /home. [11:59] yea [11:59] i tried that but i need a faster network [11:59] to make it worth it [11:59] 100Mbit is too slow? [11:59] my lappys wireless is only b [11:59] so kinda sucks [11:59] Ah. [11:59] nah for the wired its ok [12:00] Don't do NFS over 11b. :-P [12:00] StevenK: why don't you trust software raid 5? [12:00] GAH , i killed X on my lappy [12:00] wait, shared network /home on a laptop? [12:00] Amaranth: sure, then you also have a local login for when your away from home [12:00] ajmitch: I've lost over 30Gb of data to it, in 3 seperate situations, and it's hard to recover from, as opposed to RAID 1. [12:01] imbrandon: sounds annoying === ajmitch notes that /usr/local is on RAID 0 for maximum speed & minimum safety [12:01] StevenK: impressive [12:01] StevenK: I've heard too many hardware raid horror stories as well :) === StevenK nods. === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:02] I treat the MegaRAID cards at work a little carefully, but they're *expensive*. [12:02] all my compiling & stuff like that is on the 450GB RAID 0 [12:02] yeah, I can't quite afford one of those [12:02] hence why I was saying that consumer hardware raid generally sucks :) === StevenK nods. [12:02] since it's often semi-software raid [12:02] They're kinda nice, and kind of scary. :-) [12:05] hm, midnight, probably about bed time [12:05] work at 8:30 :) [12:06] 5:00 here [12:06] sunday, of course === pirast [n=martin@p508B31A3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:07] hahah looks like no beryl on my lappy for now http://federation.imbrandon.com/x-on-lappy.jpg [12:08] Could your camera take a picture that's more blurry?

[12:08] and yeah, that's a BSOD for a regular user :) [12:08] added composite and some other things to xorg === apokryphos [n=apokryph@87-194-86-227.bethere.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:09] composite is on by default [12:09] and i don't think the other crackful options in that guide are needed [12:09] afaik it "just works" by installing beryl and running it [12:09] NOW you tell me, i asked what i needed [12:09] :) [12:09] i was going for what i thought was the safe answer :) [12:10] there is a reason i havent applied for the X maintainer at canonical :) I hate xorg.conf ( and X in general but there isnt anything better ) [12:10] hehe [12:11] Amaranth: thanks for the nouveau followup on the list ;) [12:11] imbrandon: I know some of those xorg.conf options are supposed to give something like 3x speed boosts for beryl [12:11] but i only have nvidia hardware so i can't confirm === ajmitch only has nvidia & intel [12:12] & my intel-based laptop is nothing special === StevenK has only Intel at the moment/ [12:12] though neither is the nvidia card [12:12] s/\//./ === pirast [n=martin@p508B31A3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:12] I wanted to get a Nvidia PCI-E card with my tax refund, but that didn't work out.

[12:13] it has a crappy monitor, and i just generaly hate that computer [12:13] so i use it via ssh to build on [12:13] imbrandon: I'm typing this on an Edgy amd64 machine.

[12:15] I figure that if I don't see the breakage, I won't have the incentive to fix it [12:15] ajmitch: I just watch the forums to look for people complaining [12:15] If someone says "You idiots broke my computer again, learn how to program" I don't upgrade that day [12:16] finalbeta: And then you forcibly downgraded? [12:16] StevenK: YOu mean me? [12:16] Er, yeah. [12:16] Nope, I installed sid. [12:16] Well, Etch, then upgraded. [12:16] And that's an improvement? === jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:17] I hadn't installed Debian in quite some time, I figured it was time for a change.

[12:19] actually i think sid has packages [12:19] or will soon [12:19] yea the ones i just uploaded :) [12:19] giskard will upload them to sid in a few days :) [12:19] ah === Fujitsu screams. [12:19] once some more of the bugs are fixed [12:20] i thought the XSF owned beryl [12:20] XSF ? [12:20] Amaranth: afaik, they do [12:20] there is compiz, not sure if it's owned by XSF though [12:20] imbrandon: X strike force, maintainers of X in debian [12:20] imbrandon: X Strike Force [12:20] ah [12:20] so giskard may get in trouble if he uploads while ignoring an ITP [12:21] and they, uh, hate cdbs [12:21] I don't blame them [12:22] imbrandon, beryl will not go in unstable until etch is released.. [12:22] good [12:22] one line make files backed by magic scripts, what's not to like? :) === Amaranth would still rather use it then jump through hoops with debhelper [12:26] if you can reduce the X packages' rules file to one line, sure [12:26] ;-) === rgl [n=Rui@84.90.9.28] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:36] hi [12:40] giskard: beryl can go in experimental, when shwan will decide to cooperate ...

[12:43] yea , ajmitch already found that out on amd64 [12:44] bah , i'm tired of messing with it for tonight === imbrandon goes to fix something in kde [12:45] imbrandon: What, "everything" ? :-P [12:45] giskard: presumably that hasn't been decided yet. Beryl or compiz. [12:45] ? [12:46] I think we're waiting till the TB decides, right? [12:46] apokryphos, ahhhhh stupid me, what i wanted ask is: will ubuntu support ppc? [12:46] they said at feature freeze time what ever one is "less buggy" [12:46] I think that hasn't been decided yet too :P [12:46] giskard: yes [12:46] for now [12:46] imbrandon: really? [12:47] I suspect PPC will be revisited for feisty+1 [12:47] if they're leaning that way I'd imagine it'd end up being compiz [12:47] (Dear me, it sounds so strange saying that already.) [12:47] StevenK: hehe [12:47] heh [12:48] mostly because IBM is getting ready to push power cell workstations afaik , but i'm not 100% [12:48] Apple may have dropped PPC, but the rest of the world hasn't let go yet.

OS X supports SATA. [12:53] yes, but specific SATA controller for that board? [12:53] They just only have drivers for like 2 chipsets.

The current desktop becomes a texture placed on a 3D cube that rotates out of view while the incoming account desktop rotates into view on another side of the cube.

Something like that would have never slipped off them :) [01:56] it took quite long to get on there though; I think they wanted to save it for the slashdot saturday ;-) [01:56] sivang: one post sums it all up for me http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2006-11/msg03899.html [01:57] hrm i think its time for some food, bbiab === apokryphos likes http://andreasjaeger.blogspot.com/2006/11/ubuntus-open-week-and-opensuse.html [01:58] sivang: the big deal was mark being an ass to the opensuse guys === aBiNg [n=helo_aBi@221.6.29.75] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:59] intended or not [01:59] i dident see anywhere in the email him being an ass, i see him inviting them to an event we have if they wanted to come [01:59] show me one line where he is an "ass" ? === apokryphos chuckles at druid's response [02:00] imbrandon: the very first paragraph, I'd say :) [02:00] bhale: yeah, I'm now going over the threads [02:00] thats being an ass? it was reiterated by almost all the sues guys too "yea novel sucks blah blah blah" [02:00] the places he posted it and the way it was worded [02:00] imbrandon: Not at all; in fact, the exact opposite [02:01] everyone's interpreting it at him trying to poach opensuse developers, and doing that on their list === fbond [n=fab@pool-72-92-138-194.burl.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:01] bhale: now what's so bad in what novell are doing with M$? [02:01] different people read the same words differently. can't we just settle at that? [02:01] suse poeple need to stop reading into it then what its not [02:01] if someone unknown wrote the same thing in the same place with the same words [02:01] that's certainly (i) spam, (ii) because of his words about Novell/suse it's trolling, and as Burgundavia says "it's just not done" [02:01] i think we would all agree it was a troll [02:01] imbrandon: I think your presupposition that it's just suse people who are annoyed about this is completely erroneous [02:01] its a damn invatiation , no where in it, infact it explisitlyu states its NOT geared to them [02:01] check the ubuntu planet [02:02] you're telling me the invitation is not geared to them? [02:02] the title of the blog is "welcome opensuse developers" [02:02] not "welcome to ubuntu open week" [02:02] apokryphos: i have seen planet , infact i have a post in the que to goto planet, that dosent make them any more right [02:02] the majority of responses on the plane to this, on the blogs, is against his actions [02:02] imbrandon: it doesn't make them right but it does make your previous point kind of wrong [02:03] bhale: but he dident announce the open week, he anounced the invatation [02:03] jono did the open week [02:03] bhale++ , so is read here [02:03] apokryphos: no [02:03] do you really think it's appropriate to go into another project's mailing list, and try to take their talented developers? === Hobbsee contemplates removing edgy [02:03] apokryphos: no i dont but i think it perfectly acceptable to go there and invite them to an event they might be interested in [02:03] imbrandon: it is basically a copy of the mail to opensuse [02:03] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2006-11/msg03765.html [02:03] which is here === sivang reads [02:04] apokryphos: and thats what it was if you see it as something else your ASSUMING [02:04] as most suse guys are saying, the Open Week is great. Looks like there's a lot of wonderful things going on. But it's pretty bad if this is geared around trying to win over some opensuse devs === _DvP_ [n=David@128.235.102-84.rev.gaoland.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:04] and again starts out by mentioning novell [02:04] imbrandon: you've just flowered up what I just said :) [02:04] so spam is ok, right? [02:04] apokryphos: and it wasent and never marketed that way [02:04] "Invitation to OpenSUSE developers" [02:04] it is just fine to invite them, and fedora I guess [02:05] you could ignore him, crazy old mark [02:05] this is more loaded than that [02:05] even in his email, he said "hey we're already doing this. you might like to come ... blah blah blah" you are ASSUMING it was geared to opensuse [02:05] It is in the title [02:05] and the first paragraph [02:05] imbrandon: the fact that the week is taking place (in itself), is irrelevant. What everyone's annoyed at is the post to the list. [02:05] it is in the title, indeed [02:05] he didnt send it to Fedora, did he? [02:05] or Gentoo === sivang is shocked [02:05] apokryphos: and that is just plain wrong to be [02:06] though I still maintain the blog itself is very cheeky. But hey, you should post anything you want on your blog [02:06] intentions aside, it is easily taken as a troll IMHO [02:06] could anyone please explain a stupid o' non native speaker what is meant by: [02:06] imbrandon: how can you seriously maintain that then? Hey guys, come along to this event that we're doing and we'll teach you how to develop for ubuntu. Forget suse. [02:06] "go to great lengths to circumvent the patent [02:06] framework clearly articulated in the GPL has sent shockwaves through the [02:06] community. If you are an OpenSUSE " [02:06] are they patenting thier floss stuff to microsoft? [02:06] apokryphos: your close but not quite there yet, stop adding to it [02:07] sivang: no [02:07] sivang: trying to dodge the GPL, basically. [02:07] sivang: i will msg you [02:07] bhale: thanks dude [02:07] imbrandon: I'm quite sure I'm not :) [02:07] imbrandon: it's very easy to flower up what he did; it's different to look at what he ACTUALLY did instead of what he's hoping to do [02:07] I'm not saying his intentions weren't noble or whatnot. But intentions are quite different to actions === sivang is shocked by the plaeathora of comments it created on planet. what a way to PRing ;) [02:08] and it's actions that we more frequently hold people responsible of, since that's how you excercise your free moral agency [02:08] apokryphos: no thats where your dead wrong, you are "assuming" and adding to it, i'm going by the exact words [02:08] imbrandon: going for words will only tell you his intentions. Looking at what actually happened will... tell you what actually happened. [02:08] imbrandon: I think it's very arrogant to say other people are "wrong" to be annoyed [02:09] well [02:09] apokryphos: exactly and he posted an invite to suse developers to join us in a week to learn about ubuntu, thats EXACTLY what happened [02:09] I am glad that imbrandon and other people are doing Open Week [02:09] nothing wrong with that [02:09] I should have said that [02:09] even if its posted to their list [02:09] imbrandon: oh, so you're maintaining that he didn't want to try to poach those suse developers? [02:10] imbrandon: if he wanted to politely do that he should have left our loaded statements about the 'political' climate [02:10] does it say anywhere that he is? it said if they arent happy at home they might be interested, it dident say stop working on suse and come to us [02:10] and not singled out suse === sivang wonders what's different in open week then regular get involved emails, irc sessions or anything alike [02:10] thats what people are adding [02:10] sounds a bit superficial to me [02:10] heh. Yeah, which is exactly poaching. "We can offer you a lot of great stuff here at Ubuntu; come join!!" [02:11] sivang: more sessions :P [02:11] bhale: he dident single out suse, thats the thing, he meerly invited them, the week is for everyone IT EVEN SAYS IN THE MAIL TO THE SUSE GUYS that its for everyone [02:11] gah [02:11] sorry for caps [02:11] apokryphos: right ;) [02:11] imbrandon: why didnt he send it to anyone else? [02:11] apokryphos: no its not [02:11] imbrandon: why does that change anything? I never said the open week was just for suse guys [02:11] bhale: he dident have to as he dident orginise the even, jono sent it to everyone [02:11] the actual events of the open week are irrelevant, as I said. But hey :) [02:12] the fact that such mails are only sent to opensuse list, but not fedora, gentoo, debian lists, ARE singling out suse [02:12] imbrandon: anyhow, see what Riddell said. Even though Mark is very explicit, Riddell is too [02:12] "Part of the reason this was organised is an attempt to entice openSUSE developers annoyed at the Novell/Microsoft deal over to Ubuntu." [02:12] yes and Riddell is wrong [02:12] i totaly disagree with him [02:12] I think I'll trust Mark's and Riddell's explicit words [02:13] imbrandon: his title didn't say "welcome to ubuntu week!" it said "welcome, opensuse developers!" [02:13] bah your not going by marks explisit words, your reading more into it [02:13] thats the thing === Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:13] apokryphos: because that was his invatation [02:13] if you read the mail it says it s not just for them [02:13] EXPLISITLY [02:14] maybe we should work for some definitions here since then things will be clearer [02:14] otherwise we'll go in circles [02:14] bah no i got to run [02:14] but [02:14] ok, see you [02:14] I dont think I am going to change anyones mind, time for a shower === bhale hugs imbrandon [02:14] it boils down to people adding into what they thing its about instead of reading the damn email [02:15] To be completely honest, the only people I see who advocate what Mark did (I won't include you in this category for now) are people who are genuinely blindly following anything that Mark says [02:15] Mark is a wonderful guy, and he hasn't slipped up very majorly before, so it's hard to see. But leaders can be wrong too; they need direction from the community just as much as a community needs direction too === PriceChild [n=pricechi@unix0.york.ac.uk] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:15] no i go against what i think is wrong and right, like bin driver, i have a strong stance against those [02:15] etc [02:16] hey PriceChild [02:16] Hobbsee!!!! :D [02:16] if you're around later we can discuss it I guess, if you like, imbrandon :) [02:16] What're you doing up at this time Hobbsee? [02:16] and other things, i dont have time to get into it as i really must run, but no , i'm not a "blind" follower [02:16] see ya :) [02:16] PriceChild: it's only just gone midnight... [02:16] later :) [02:16] imbrandon: I know, I excluded you from the set :P === imbrandon hugs everyone [02:16] and installing xen, to answer the question [02:16] Hobbsee ah ok thought it was past 1.... [02:17] nope [02:17] Hobbsee: how was k? === Hobbsee hugs imbrandon [02:17] *work? [02:17] cya imbrandon [02:17] was okay === apokryphos punches imbrandon [02:17] :P [02:17] gd gd [02:17] lol [02:21] whawo [02:21] this is amazing [02:21] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-November/022578.html === apokryphos chuckles === Q-FUNK [n=q-funk@dsl-hkigw8-feb6fb00-217.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #ubuntu-motu === jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-motu === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-115-219-183.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:32] not sure if amazing was the word i was looking for :( === fbond [n=fab@pool-72-92-138-194.burl.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === geser [n=michael@dialin104033.justdsl.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:43] that's a good decision, freedom vs user experience. Although I can't seem to see how it' violates ubuntus philosophy [02:44] who's JPR and where can I read about his critique of canonical? [02:50] sivang: where's that mentioned? [02:50] admin123: some people think that, as mentioned on ubuntu.com, Ubuntu only includes proprietary drivers when it's absolutely necessary [02:50] so that if accelerated-x and desktop effects aren't necessary, then these shouldn't be included in Ubuntu, on the CD [02:51] well, the packages could be on cd like they are being availble on repository, so that the user can deside for the user itself. [02:51] sivang: it's in response to sabdfl's somewhat risque recruiting exercise on the opensuse list weighing in on patents [02:52] even by warning [02:52] sivang: the response from the opensuse was been surprisingly restrained [02:52] admin123: it could, but some people think that violates Ubuntu's Philosophy === giskard [n=giskard@213-140-22-74.fastres.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:53] yes, perhaps it violates the philosophy, the legal technicalities are however incorrect [02:53] I can't see how it violates ubuntu philosophy. If that was the case then flashplugin-nonfree should be removed also etc.. etc.. This issue has come up with debian wayback, (removing non-free from repository) but it's just not worth it, because of lost of users. [02:54] ubtil there is a good replacement [02:54] admin123: the flash plugin is not on the cd [02:54] but this concern's the philosophy right? [02:54] the things are like l-r-m that are installed from cd that make people think it breaks the ubuntu way === Adri2000 [n=Adri2000@unaffiliated/adri2000] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:55] lrm has been installed for years, i thought [02:55] with binary kernel drivers [02:55] yes. [02:55] and blobs [02:55] "We include this software because it is essential in order for Ubuntu to run on certain machines - typical examples are the binary drivers that some video card vendors publish, which are the only way for Ubuntu to run on those machines." [02:55] avoid binary blobs if possible; but if people are going to need to do it, then make it easy for them [02:56] the next statement is stronger "By default, we will only use open source software unless there is simply no other way to install Ubuntu." [02:56] the problem there is its not needed by default its just the linux-image-* (i think thats the meta) that installs it for you. [02:56] I think they meant not use ;-) [02:56] hehe [02:56] sladen: I see , so that's probably what everybody refers to as the "satiric" response on -devel ? [02:56] i am much more concerned about my wifi card working than opengl === tuxmaniac [n=aanjhan@Qf0da.q.pppool.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:57] sivang: right [02:57] i would happily sell my soul for my intel card to keep working out of the box with the binary thingamagig [02:57] sivang: yes, probably best to resist the urge to reply. [02:58] now i do believe ndiswrapper needs to be included in default install for those users that need it but thats a long shot of that happening [02:58] ndiswrapper goes far beyond 'binary blob/driver' [02:58] and you still need networking to get the stupid windows driver anyway [02:59] sladen: I was not going to reply anyway, I'm not interested on adding to this, it's just odd to open up the online "newspapers" and find out about this :) [02:59] i know but its still closed source === tuxmaniac [n=aanjhan@Qf0da.q.pppool.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu [03:01] sivang: I think it made slashdot [03:02] today, yeah [03:03] seems like everything we do ends up on slash or digg [03:03] the painful limelight 8) [03:04] :) [03:04] sladen: right, this aien't gonna do us any good as a commnity or as a project [03:04] i never really rea them its always someone saying something stupid in channel and they tell me where they saw it === Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-motu [03:09] sivang: it might be worth expressing that to them who wrote it [03:10] meh, it has been going on for as long as i have been reading (6 years?0 [03:10] if there is a sensational story, it is going up [03:11] you should feel lucky that normally the slashdot community is largely positive towards ubuntu [03:11] bhale++ , it's hard to make it to their hearts from what I've seen. [03:11] e.g., noe easily convicned or acceptive === gnomefreak personally doesnt think mark meant any disrespect in his post. i think people take it as read though [03:13] gnomefreak: fact is that many have caught it the wrong way, although it was probably with innocent of the wording, it could take long to fix what this can do [03:13] but i also believe if opensuse was more mature than us in there eyes they would have let it go not respond with the bs they did. (mature for lack of a better word) === sivang wonders whom he needs to talk to to include something about hubackup in he Open Week [03:14] I want to try to get some more people to hack on it [03:14] this may never be fixable just forgotten [03:15] gnomefreak: indeed, which is a pity [03:15] gnomefreak: because really, Mark is great and this is only a slip of tounge AFAICT [03:15] jdong i think [03:15] i agree [03:15] you mean jono [03:15] yeah [03:15] ty === giskard [n=giskard@213-140-22-74.fastres.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === bddebian [n=bdefrees@c-71-224-172-103.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === nolimitsoya [n=nolimits@176.139.216.81.static.vhe.siw.siwnet.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === giskard [n=giskard@213-140-22-74.fastres.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === giskard_ [n=giskard@213-140-22-74.fastres.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Ingar [n=saltvik@ti500720a080-4617.bb.online.no] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Subhuman [n=jack@host86-139-100-209.range86-139.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu === zul_ [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c1-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [04:19] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Optimization?highlight=%28Optimization%29 [04:19] nice === Neonightmare [n=chatzill@37-143.1-85.cust.bluewin.ch] has joined #ubuntu-motu [04:29] hmm, reading through http://www.novell.com/linux/microsoft/openletter.html , it seems we will at least get the ability to interchangeably use OO and Office content..

[05:01] Adri2000: that's probably the reason that it's on updated mergers, if not, than there might be a MoM slip off [05:01] sivang: it is already merged! [05:01] Adri2000: you mean, the patch si alredy in debian?

As I said, I'm the original author and the first packager [10:28] I'm using dh_gconf [10:28] so my tarball should be the original, thus no diff? [10:28] engla: there is a diff for all non debian native packages, at least for the whole debian/ direcotry [10:28] directory* [10:29] anyone could help please ? [10:29] as I understand it the .schemas file should go in /etc/gconf/schemas and dh_conf moves it [10:29] hmm I don't know about this. the debian/ is in the orig tarball here. But that's right I think since this package is "original to ubuntu"; ie if I package it there is no upstream [10:29] I'm right ? [10:29] but I can check again [10:30] toitoine: Is it a package that uses the ./configure && make && make install method of building? [10:30] TheMuso: no, autotools [10:30] But you do run the .configure script to prepare the apckage for compilation right? === ryanakca [i=ryan@unaffiliated/ryanakca] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:31] TheMuso: yes it's run at the end of autoconf [10:31] Ok. YOu need to re-run it, and give it the correct paths to the various locations. [10:31] I don't know how one references the gconf dir. Have a look at another package in the archive that has gconf schemas and see what it does. [10:32] You need to pass it the --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc or something like that. [10:32] engla: hmm, why whould it be only for ubuntu? [10:32] engla: is it only useful in an ubuntu environment? [10:32] TheMuso: ok, I'll try [10:33] TheMuso: I'm giving --prefix=/usr [10:33] but not --datadir=/usr/share [10:33] Adri2000: nope, it's generally useful. But I am upstream and my original tarballs have always contained the debian/ directory. now I can accept that that is wrong [10:34] engla: I suppose that the sources are available somewhere on a website? [10:34] engla: and what is the license? [10:34] sure, sec [10:35] the website is below and the lic is GPL [10:35] http://www.student.lu.se/~cif04usv/wiki/dragbox.html === _jaldhar [n=jaldhar@c-68-38-202-139.hsd1.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:35] engla: ok, so no, you shouldn't ship the debian/ directory in the original tarball [10:36] I want to do that since that's "pre-packaging" it, even if it isn't in any distro (yet). So people can grab my sources and issue "dpkg-buildpackage .." [10:37] so it's a service I think, and I don't see any harm in doing my general tarballs like that [10:37] but.. I still could force the debian/ stuff to go into a diff, but I don't know how to do that yet === slomo [n=slomo@ubuntu/member/slomo] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Burgundavia [n=corey@S0106000fb085cc63.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:39] TheMuso: Thanks you VERY much (I've been searching during 3 hours :-) ) [10:39] engla: when we want to package a program which ship a debian/ directory, we usually ask upstream to remove it [10:39] ah [10:39] toitoine: Did it go into the right dir? If so, thats great news. [10:40] TheMuso: yes it now goes in the right dir [10:40] toitoine: Great. === jaldhar_ [n=jaldhar@c-68-38-202-139.hsd1.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:42] I'll ask myself to remove that and then go behind my back and add the same stuff again. ;-) [10:43] :-) === luisbg_ [n=d33p@87.217.145.192] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:45] I think someone should write a "Why is it bad to ship the debian/ directory in the upstream tarball" [10:47] Adri2000: I second that because I'm reading your talk with engla and I really don't understand [10:47] I'm making a software and I should keep original tarball and /debian directory separated [10:48] only using /debian when doing a package ? That's it ? [10:49] yes debian/ is for the packager, not upstream's work, even if sometimes upstream = packager === RedKrieg [n=RedKrieg@ip68-10-83-27.hr.hr.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:50] ok, if that's the rule :-) [10:50] but please, write the text [10:51] I think I found the base of my view on it from somewhere in the debian packager's guide [10:52] the debian packager's guide saying that debian/ in upstream tarball is good? [10:53] not like that no. :) I'm not sure that it mentions it, but I think it states that sometimes there is no diff if the package is original to debian === d33p__ [n=d33p@87.217.144.244] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:53] but perhaps that means "specific for debian" (my dragbox is actually in arch, so it's not specific) [10:54] that's debian native package, and your program is not a debian native package [10:57] Adri2000: sorry to insist but what's make a debian native package ? what's the difference if I'm upstream and packager ? [10:58] a debian native package is for instance dpkg [10:58] debian native would be dpkg === bmonty [n=bmontgom@ubuntu/member/bmonty] has joined #ubuntu-motu === bmonty [n=bmontgom@ubuntu/member/bmonty] has left #ubuntu-motu ["Ex-Chat"] [11:00] not a .deb file you mean ?

[11:11] no, there is always a debian/changelog, it is either a "packaging" changelog, either the "real" changelog (with the actual changes in the program) if it's a native package [11:12] Adri2000: I'm getting it : since I've removed the "-1" on the numbering there's no reason to have a debian changelog, that's it ? === fbond [n=fab@pool-72-92-138-194.burl.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === DarkMageZ [n=richard@ppp232-34.lns3.syd7.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:12] Adri2000: ok, reverse [11:12] if you remove the -1, then it's native [11:13] Adri2000: I should continue with "debianization", then put my /debian files in place [11:13] Adri2000: so there should be 2 changelog but that will be coherent... [11:13] heh I wonder one more thing too [11:13] hi guys [11:13] you look like you could use some help [11:13] the lintian file on revu doesn't match mine of course. Mine produces no output for the source package [11:14] toitoine: always debian/changelog, and if it's non native, a possible upstream changelog [11:14] hi LaserJock [11:14] Adri2000: quite simple when you're starting to understand :-) [11:14] engla: yeah, lintian's revu is not up to date for feisty I think [11:14] while the revu lintian complains about too high version for standards something (shoudl be fine I think), but also for something with arch-independent and dependend builddeps [11:15] Thanks a lot for your help everyone [11:16] (sorry for my sloppy writing there) [11:17] engla: your program is python? [11:17] +written in [11:18] yes [11:18] so your rules is wrong because it does binary-indep [11:18] and you should follow the debian python policy [11:18] I have to confess I don't know much about coupling autotools, python and debian packaging. but it works. [11:19] hm, but why doesn't my local lintian tell me that? [11:19] I'm not sure it is able to check all the things of the python policy [11:19] http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ and http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy [11:20] engla: also, in the changelog, distribution should be feisty instead of unstable, and the version is, IMO, wrong, should't be native :) [11:20] oh well [11:21] this is messy. All the debianization scripts are smart, but they leave small stamps of debian everywhere which you have to circumvent [11:21] so my version next time will be 0.2.3-0ubuntu1 ? [11:22] (now 0.2.3) [11:22] yes, but when uploading your package to ubuntu for the first time, there should be only one changelog entry: "Initial release" [11:23] well, there doesn't *have* to be only 1 entry [11:23] you know, this is confusing. I have to think like a whole distro or release team all by myself. [11:24] engla: ok, what's confusing you? let's go through it [11:25] engla: using lintian -i *.dsc gives you more info, btw [11:26] well I think I am fine for now, I've got many things answered. It's confusing to be both upstream and packager and negotiate those :) [11:26] lintian -i doesn't output anything extra in my case [11:26] but I'm reading the python policy docs [11:27] engla: if you are upstream also I'd just recommend that you spilt the packaging from the source [11:27] I will following this [11:28] everything you have to do to make a .deb should be in the debian/ folder and that shouldn't be included in the source tarball [11:32] I'll have to keep the packaging versioned anyway and keep it in svn on gna.org anyway. Should I just keep the debian dir as a separate "module" there perhaps [11:32] yeah, that's a good idea [11:33] if you keep them together then any little change in the packaging will require a new release of your app's source === toitoine [n=toitoine@pas72-1-88-161-60-199.fbx.proxad.net] has left #ubuntu-motu ["Ex-Chat"] === raphink [n=raphink@ubuntu/member/raphink] has joined #ubuntu-motu === finalbeta [n=finalbet@d5152A68A.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-motu === FliesLikeABrick [n=Ryan@about/rpi/rawdor] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:03] crimsun: err, the alternative build-dep isn't needed anymore?
