| Keyseir | I've got a rather complicated RAM issue. I have two 256 chips and a 512, sdram. I originally was getting segfaults on my ubuntu installation, and then I even got it on a livecd. I couldn't even install on the hd, and I was able to install dapper when I removed the 512. However, I never got any errors running memtest86 for a total of 6-7 hours. 'Memtester' finds errors when the 512 chip is in the picture SOMETIMES, but sometime | 03:06 |
| Keyseir | s I change the test memory value by maybe 5m and it all changes. Anyone who knows a lot about hardware/ram have an idea? | 03:06 |

| elkbuntu | My name is Melissa Draper, and I am the LoCo Team Contact for the Ubuntu Australian LoCo Team. If you are wondering what that title involves, fear not, for we will be discussing it over the course of this session. I have a wiki page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MelissaDraper that introduces me in more detail. | 04:03 |
| === febuiles [i=febuiles@cable200-116-249-186.epm.net.co] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | Over the course of this session, we will be discussing a number of aspects of LoCo Teams. This includes, but is not limited to: | 04:03 |
| elkbuntu | * What are LoCo Teams? | 04:03 |
| elkbuntu | * Who leads the LoCo? | 04:03 |
| elkbuntu | * How I can find my LoCo Team? | 04:03 |
| elkbuntu | * But, I can't see a LoCo Team for me! | 04:03 |
| elkbuntu | * How do I start a LoCo? | 04:03 |
| elkbuntu | * Approved vs New | 04:03 |
| elkbuntu | * How can I get involved? | 04:03 |
| === cs_student [n=vicox@p549870D2.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | Now, lets start at the beginning. What are LoCo Teams? | 04:03 |
| elkbuntu | A LoCo (short for Local Community) Team is a group of (in our case) Ubuntu users within a Localised Community. | 04:04 |
| elkbuntu | The teams are run by the people, for the people. They are *not* run by Canonical, however Canonical is highly supportive of them and will provide assistance. We will cover the assistance offered later. | 04:04 |
| nanda | j | 04:04 |
| elkbuntu | A LoCo can involve a lot of things such as local promotion, support in the local language, general support to local users and much more. | 04:04 |
| === Jucato [n=jucato@58.69.160.79] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | LoCo Teams can be based around location, such as in my case, Australia. | 04:05 |
| elkbuntu | Because people in Australia speak English, there is not a strong need for language-based activities. Our primary focus is advocacy within Australia, but we do a small amount of support. | 04:05 |
| elkbuntu | Language based teams include for instance, the Spanish Team, which is based primarily around the Spanish language and hence includes most, if not all, the Spanish-speaking countries. | 04:05 |
| elkbuntu | Because Spanish is a very widely spoken language, the team's efforts would have a greater focus on providing support in Spanish and translating Ubuntu. There are still, of course, advocacy efforts within the team. | 04:06 |
| elkbuntu | One aspect of LoCo Teams that we find is also important, is that they enable and encourage people to interact with other Ubuntu users that are actually near them, as opposed to the other side of the world. | 04:06 |
| elkbuntu | A single person with ideas is nothing compared to a dozen equally imaginative people :) | 04:07 |
| === brancaleone_ [n=andrea@giamma1.df.unipi.it] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Chat"] | ||
| elkbuntu | Ok, there are some questions in the chat, so i'll cover those now. The saturday session will be the same as todays. | 04:07 |
| === Trevi [n=Trevi@host-84-220-103-131.cust-adsl.tiscali.it] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | Popey, yes, we are aware of this. It is one area that we are hoping to change. it has improved in the past few months, and we hope to improve it further. | 04:08 |
| jrib | elkbuntu: it may help to state the question before answering so everyone benefits | 04:08 |
| === enoch2702 [n=wls@72.16.136.251] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| Phoenix7477 | yes please | 04:08 |
| nanda | yes | 04:08 |
| elkbuntu | right.. sorry | 04:09 |
| fyrestrtr | we are meant to ask questions in -chat and then look here for the answers, or can we ask in here directly? | 04:09 |
| elkbuntu | <popey> QUESTION: Each LoCo seems to be doing their own thing - which isn't a bad thing - but it could be useful for us to talk to eachother more. How can we best learn from eachother so we have a consistent approach across all LoCo teams? | 04:09 |
| Phoenix7477 | thank you :) | 04:09 |
| === Seeker` [n=cjo20@ip-62-105-182-26.dsl.twang.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | <effie_jayx> QUESTION: My loCo team is not very active ( a web page, unaswered posts a week long and that's it) how can I help if there are no contacts in the wiki or the webpage | 04:09 |
| elkbuntu | <effie_jayx> and cana university have a loCo? | 04:09 |
| elkbuntu | effie_jayx, i'll discuss this a bit later in the session, and i'll answer questions regarding this after. | 04:10 |
| effie_jayx | thnx | 04:10 |

| === edreamleo [n=Ed@24-196-82-214.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| elkbuntu | Now, one question we get asked a lot by new teams is "Who leads the LoCo?". | 04:11 |
| elkbuntu | Generally, this is done by the LoCo Team Contact. | 04:11 |
| elkbuntu | The contact may be the founder, who has self-appointed his or herself, or, he or she may have been democratically elected. | 04:11 |
| elkbuntu | There's no 'right' way to do it, and some teams even have multiple contacts. | 04:11 |
| elkbuntu | What works for *your team* is best, and it may take a few tries to figure out what this is. | 04:12 |
| === asf [n=asf@201008135005.user.veloxzone.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | The responsibilities of the Team Contact vary with the focus of the team, but a general guideline is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamContact | 04:12 |
| elkbuntu | In my role as the LoCo Team Contact for Ubuntu-Au, my responsibilities generally include maintaining regular meetings, delegating tasks, channel upkeep and moderation and so forth. | 04:12 |
| elkbuntu | LoCo Contacts should be subscribed to the loco-contacts mailing list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts) and hang out in #ubuntu-locoteams. This is something that will help with Popey's question above. | 04:13 |
| === LjL [n=ljl@81-208-36-87.ip.fastwebnet.it] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | The team contact is also the public face of the LoCo. He/She acts as the main communication bridge between the team and the community at large. Given this, a grasp on the English language is almost necessary. | 04:13 |
| elkbuntu | It is possible that the contact may be approached by media, or get direct support requests, as their contact details are, or at least should be, easily obtainable. | 04:14 |

| === noctua [n=4c2a6618@pD95EF99A.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | Some people in here have probably already located their LoCo Team. Some others may want to know "How I can find my LoCo Team?" | 04:15 |
| elkbuntu | A good way to find your LoCo Team, is to visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList and see if there is a team in your area. | 04:15 |
| elkbuntu | If there are several teams that apply to you, the team at country or state level is probably the team you should join first, although there's nothing stopping you being in multiple LoCos. | 04:15 |
| elkbuntu | <popey> QUESTION: Should *only* the team contact join loco-contacts list or can anyone? | 04:16 |
| elkbuntu | of course not. everyone is welcome :) | 04:16 |
| popey | \o/ | 04:16 |
| elkbuntu | we actually have alot of people on the list and in the channel who are not their team's contact | 04:16 |
| === lara22 [n=lara22@ool-4357580e.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === Alex_Palex [n=alex@adsl-252-175.37-151.net24.it] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | Now, if any of you are in the situation where you are looking at the teams list and thinking "But, I can't see a LoCo team for me!", then there's a good chance one may not exist. | 04:17 |
| elkbuntu | There is a possibility that your team just has not added themselves to the list, so check the channels list here on freenode, and/or do a google for the team name. | 04:17 |
| elkbuntu | For example, the Australian team is "Ubuntu-au". "au" is the ISO code for Australia. | 04:18 |
| elkbuntu | If after searching, you cannot see a team then there probably is not one. | 04:18 |
| === Apfelfrisch [n=Apfelfri@dynadsl-080-228-73-046.ewetel.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||

| leonel | uevo | 04:20 |
| elkbuntu | you havent been ignored :) | 04:20 |
| elkbuntu | Anyhow, I know a few people are here wanting to know "How do I start a LoCo?". Well luckily, it's not rocket science. | 04:21 |
| === fyrestrtr puts away his lab coat | ||
| === Topha [n=topha@dslb-082-083-043-170.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | The main things you need are people and communication. It is recommended that you start by setting up a mailing list and an IRC channel. | 04:21 |
| elkbuntu | We can help with this in various ways. Well, we cannot help you gather the people, but the other things we can help with. | 04:21 |
| elkbuntu | For a mailing list, we prefer if the list is created through Ubuntu's mailman system. For this, email mailman@lists.ubuntu.com | 04:22 |
| elkbuntu | To register your LoCo Channel, see '/msg chanserv help register' for instructions. The channel should be #ubuntu-cc where 'cc' is your country ISO code. | 04:22 |
| elkbuntu | IRC channels are best done here on Freenode. Almost all Ubuntu channels are here, and it's useful to have all the channels together. | 04:23 |
| === pawa [n=pawa@219.238.32.253] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | Not only that, Ubuntu has built up a very good relationship with the Freenode staff, so we're able to pull strings. It's quite convenient. | 04:23 |
| === sharperguy [n=sharp@88-110-223-201.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | Another important point about using the Ubuntu mailman and Freenode, is that if for some unfortunate reason, the team leader was to disappear into thin air (and yes, this happens), it is much easier to negotiate the reassigning of privileges. | 04:23 |
| elkbuntu | Once you have the basic structure set up, you're a LoCo team. | 04:23 |
| elkbuntu | Whilst it is not entirely mandatory, it's strongly suggested you sign the team up at Launchpad.net. This lets us know the team exists, for a start, but it also makes it easy to see who is in the team for purposes of verifing things if something goes wrong. | 04:24 |
| elkbuntu | Launchpad also incorporates the Rosetta translation tools, which is what Ubuntu uses for translations. | 04:24 |
| elkbuntu | With Launchpad, there are also other ways to contribute to Ubuntu as a whole (outside the realm of LoCo Teams), as has been pointed out over the past few days. Communication and contribution with the rest of the Ubuntu community is essential for a team's success. | 04:24 |
| === Zelut [i=Zelut@gateway/tor/x-c8faa6c267532193] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | <enoch2702> QUESTION: Is there any formal charter laid out by a LoCo? | 04:24 |
| elkbuntu | As such? no. Every team is welcome to do so if they wish to, however. For some teams, it might help. | 04:25 |
| elkbuntu | LoCos are pretty freeform in how they're organised and run. Different things work in different places around the world. | 04:26 |
| === Tejo_ [n=chatzill@200.247.199.130] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | enoch2702, does that answer the question for you? | 04:27 |
| enoch2702 | yes | 04:27 |
| elkbuntu | :) | 04:27 |
| elkbuntu | Now, you may or may not have heard reference to 'approved' and 'new' LoCo Teams. This has caused confusion in the past, so I'll cover it now. | 04:27 |
| === vyoman [n=andre@80-195-189-177.cable.ubr05.croy.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === palski [n=palski@raastinrauta.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | An approved team is a team that is up and running, has each of the required resources in operation and the team is working well. The team has been acknowledged as haivng these traits | 04:28 |
| elkbuntu | When you become an approved team, it will make you eligible for certain benefits such as marketing materials, and other possibilities. | 04:29 |
| === DaleCoope [n=Dal2@host-66-202-42-88.spr.choiceone.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === pawa [n=pawa@219.238.32.253] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | An approved team is also considered officially by the Ubuntu project, and the process involves going before the Community Council. | 04:29 |
| === melter [n=Melter@dyn248.iacc-tm4.ndsu.NoDak.edu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === Lure [n=lure@ubuntu/member/lure] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | New teams are equally important to us, and we do support them by providing services such as hosting, a domain, mailing lists etc to help them become established. | 04:29 |
| === DaleCoope [n=Dal2@host-66-202-42-88.spr.choiceone.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| elkbuntu | Once a new team has been set up with the basic mail/irc/launchpad structure, and have been around for a while, there should be no problem getting approved. | 04:30 |
| elkbuntu | If the team chooses to remain unapproved, we're ok with that too, but there are benefits, as mentioned above, for being approved. | 04:30 |
| elkbuntu | If you have questions about, or your team requires any of the LoCo services mentioned today, please join #ubuntu-locoteams and ask away, or sign up to the mailing list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts) if you prefer that way of asking. | 04:31 |
| elkbuntu | <effie_jayx> QUESTION: How does one know if the team I join is approved? | 04:31 |
| elkbuntu | there is a list at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamsList and at the top is an 'approved' list | 04:32 |
| === xinchuan [n=xinchuan@bb220-255-18-17.singnet.com.sg] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| effie_jayx | thnx | 04:32 |
| elkbuntu | If you were not before, you may now (hopefully) be wondering "How can I get involved?". | 04:33 |
| elkbuntu | For most teams, just being on the mailing list, in the IRC channel or on the launchpad.net team is sufficient to join the team, and once you have done this, you can contribute in a variety of ways. | 04:33 |
| elkbuntu | As mentioned above, LoCo Teams involve a variety of project areas. These can include local support, translation, and local promotion, or even simply documenting the team and it's activites. | 04:33 |
| elkbuntu | If you unsure of how best to get involved with your LoCo, a good idea is to ask a prominent member within the team. They often know what areas need more man (or woman) power. | 04:34 |
| === Saelynh is now known as le-public | ||
| elkbuntu | Alternatively, if you are for instance, interested in seeing more promotional material that is relevant to your country, then you could simply create the material you feel is missing. | 04:34 |
| === le-public is now known as Saelynh | ||
| elkbuntu | When you've done whatever you felt necessary, tell people in the LoCo about it. Showing initiative is also a good way to get respect :) | 04:34 |
| === Saelynh is now known as le-public | ||
| === LoudMouthMan [n=nik@82-68-164-22.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | On a larger level, groups of LoCo members can get together to stage install-fests, or run booths at computer fairs. | 04:35 |
| === le-public is now known as Saelynh | ||
| elkbuntu | There are alot of great LoCos around, and we're fortunate to have had some of them collaborate to provide us with our (still fledgling) knowledgebase. | 04:35 |
| elkbuntu | If you want to find out more about joining, establishing or running LoCos, you can see the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamKnowledgeBase wiki page. | 04:35 |
| elkbuntu | Or, as that was the end of my pre-written stuff. you can ask questions :) | 04:35 |
| === popey waves his questions in -chat | ||

| elkbuntu | <effie_jayx> and cana university have a loCo? | 04:37 |
| effie_jayx | yeah :) | 04:37 |
| === sharms [n=sharms@ubuntu/member/sharms] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | ok. im going to tie the answer to those two questiosn together | 04:37 |
| elkbuntu | if your country loco is struggling for activity, a smaller part of the country is going to struggle more | 04:37 |
| elkbuntu | you're best off pushing the team from your uni | 04:38 |
| elkbuntu | many country teams tend to have an activity hotspot. maybe your uni is that hotspot for your country | 04:38 |

| effie_jayx | cool.. but I don't mean to disregard their work? after all they did put up a website | 04:39 |
| effie_jayx | and have gone through some stages in getting their stuff approved | 04:39 |

| effie_jayx | me just being a liason between them and my uni | 04:40 |
| elkbuntu | have you talked to the contact about this? | 04:41 |
| effie_jayx | but I cannot find a contact email | 04:41 |
| effie_jayx | i's not on the wiki nor the website | 04:41 |

| effie_jayx | and I blog in their website | 04:41 |
| elkbuntu | is the irc channel active? | 04:41 |

| === b4ck3r [n=cbarbosa@200.80.164.57] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| elkbuntu | <popey> QUESTION: It has been suggested in our [UK] loco team that when providing support (for example in the launchpad ticket system) that we might want to mention/brand/advertise ourselves as part of the loco team, rather than just as individuals. What do you think about that? | 04:43 |
| elkbuntu | I see no problem with doing this. I assume you're referring to in the signing of the response, ie "Popey, Ubuntu-cc Team" ? | 04:44 |
| popey | yeah | 04:44 |
| popey | but suggesting everyone does it | 04:44 |
| elkbuntu | you cannot force everyone to do something ;) | 04:44 |
| popey | true enough | 04:45 |
| elkbuntu | simply encourage it strongly | 04:45 |
| popey | sorry, was a dumb questino :) | 04:45 |

| elkbuntu | <hubuntu> QUESTION: I heard about getting a hostname redirection for the respective pages for the LoCo. what about that? I mean www.ubuntu.no is cool, but what about oslo.no.ubuntulinux.org that is like more compelling, more logical in a worldwide perspective. Have you some final drafts/specs on that after Mountain View? | 04:48 |
| elkbuntu | he is gone now, but i'll answer for the sake of others. | 04:48 |
| === datten_ [n=datten@xdsl-81-173-158-97.netcologne.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | for information regarding domains and so forth, it's best to come into #ubuntu-locoteams and ask questions there. there's people there with a clue on that stuff. | 04:49 |

| === TomStachl [n=tstachl@85.90.146.118] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | Hmm... | 04:51 |
| elkbuntu | I'm not all that knowledgable regarding languages. There's a translation team around, and there's rosetta. that's about all i know ;) | 04:52 |
| elkbuntu | given that, <minimec> QUESTION: Does the language/translation support by the LOCO groups include translation of main/restricted packages and software, or only uni-/multiverse software? | 04:53 |
| elkbuntu | There was a rosetta session yesterday. i do not know what was coverd in it, but looking at the logs would be useful maybe? | 04:53 |
| elkbuntu | <popey> QUESTION: Would it make sense for LoCo contacts to be invited to Canonical / Ubuntu meetings such as UDS or is that just logistically impractical? The reason I ask is that I feel the LoCos could get a tremendous amount of motivation from "rubbing shoulders" with devs. | 04:53 |
| elkbuntu | Probably wishful thinking. Your LoCo area probably has a developer or two in it, encouraging their participation in the LoCo would probably have a good effect. | 04:54 |
| popey | (and with other locos) | 04:54 |
| elkbuntu | I'd personally love to be able to manage something like this, but im not sure if it's feasable. | 04:54 |
| elkbuntu | <enoch2702> QUESTION: How closely do LoCos work with LUGs? | 04:55 |
| elkbuntu | this is a good question. | 04:55 |
| elkbuntu | there are some LUGs that are highly ubuntu-oriented, whereas there's others that are predominantly gentoo or fedora or suse oriented. | 04:55 |
| elkbuntu | <mruiz> QUESTION: Hello elkbuntu, I'm Miguel Ruiz, Chilean Ubuntu LoCo Member. Can you explain how your LoCo works? How many sub-teams do you coordinate? | 04:56 |
| elkbuntu | the Australian team is one single team | 04:56 |
| elkbuntu | however, i know there are LoCos with chapters, such as iirc, the Canadian Team. | 04:56 |

| elkbuntu | in terms of sub-teams for different functions, the australian team has had no need for this either. it's worth asking a language oriented team about this though. | 04:58 |

| sfllaw | Ubuntu is one of the most popular GNU/Linux distributions out there. And it also has one of the smallest development teams for its size. | 05:03 |
| sfllaw | The secret to this is huge community involvement. We have hundreds of people who help with packaging, translations, technical writing, and bug management. | 05:03 |
| sfllaw | And boy do we have a lot of bugs. About 300 to 400 new bug reports get filed every day from users, from stable releases like Dapper to bleeding edge stuff from Feisty. | 05:03 |
| === DocSpacely [n=kvirc@p549F6437.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | The first people to look at these reports are the BugSquad. We do a very important task, drinking from this firehose. And that's to make sure that the reports that remain in the bug tracking system are useful. | 05:03 |
| === sheepeatingtaz [i=sheepeat@goatse.co.uk] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| sfllaw | You can find our bug tracking system at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs | 05:03 |
| sfllaw | Right now, it holds over 20000 open bug reports, spread across the entire distribution. That includes main, restricted, universe, and multiverse. | 05:03 |
| sfllaw | That's a lot of bugs. The source of these reports can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/yf4hq9 | 05:03 |
| sfllaw | These are untriaged reports: ones which have never had a human eye look at them. It's likely that they are missing information, duplicate another report, are filed against the wrong package, etc. Or, if you're lucky, they're perfect. | 05:03 |
| sfllaw | :) | 05:03 |
| sfllaw | To triage a bug report, you need to do a few things. | 05:04 |
| sfllaw | First you have to determine if it's actually a bug. The easiest ones have crash reports in them. Let's go find one. | 05:04 |
| sfllaw | To start, we go to http://launchpad.net Click on "The Ubuntu distribution" | 05:04 |
| sfllaw | In the search box, let's look for a popular package. Bash is a good one to try, so let's ask for that. | 05:04 |
| sfllaw | Click on 'Source Package "bash" in Ubuntu' to be taken to its package page. | 05:04 |
| sfllaw | This shows you Bash within the context of the Ubuntu distribution. Bash also has another page, a product page, which we won't look at right now. | 05:04 |
| sfllaw | In the left sidebar, you should see a "Bugs" link. Click on that and you'll be taken to the bug tracker. This will list all the bugs inside bash right now. | 05:05 |
| sfllaw | There are quite a few untriaged bugs, but they are intermixed with triaged ones. Let's narrow down our search to only show untriaged ones. Start by clicking the "Advanced search" link. | 05:05 |
| sfllaw | You want to make sure that: | 05:05 |
| sfllaw | Status = Unconfirmed only | 05:05 |
| sfllaw | Importance = Undecided only | 05:05 |
| sfllaw | Assignee = Nobody | 05:05 |
| LinuxBA | !logs | 05:05 |
| ubotu | Channel logs can be found at http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs - See also !OpenWeek | 05:05 |
| sfllaw | Click the "Search" button. | 05:05 |
| === nixternal [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | You should end up at http://tinyurl.com/yawhpj which gives you a nice list of bugs to look at. | 05:05 |
| sfllaw | My example bug went away. | 05:07 |
| sfllaw | But we'll fix that. | 05:07 |
| sfllaw | Dum de dum dum. | 05:07 |
| sfllaw | Ta da! | 05:07 |
| sfllaw | Reload guys. | 05:07 |
| sfllaw | Bug 57413 looks like a promising crash. Click on its description and it will open up. You can also get to this bug by going to http://launchpad.net/bugs/57413 | 05:07 |
| sfllaw | You see that the bug reporter has included his crash dump, which was caught by apport, our automated crash profiler. But Longer hasn't really given us enough information to solve the problem. | 05:07 |
| === apokryphos [n=apokryph@87-194-86-227.bethere.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | Here's the minimum information for a complete bug report: | 05:08 |
| sfllaw | 1. Version of the software. Is it in Dapper, Edgy, Feisty? What about a specific version number? | 05:08 |
| === guglielf [n=flp@ppp-21-70.21-151.libero.it] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | 2. Steps to reproduce the bug. | 05:08 |
| sfllaw | 3. What was expected to happen. | 05:08 |
| sfllaw | 4. What actually happened. | 05:08 |
| === Brownout [n=carlo@81-174-39-129.f5.ngi.it] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | Since this bug is incomplete, we'll want to ask for more information. You do that by taking responsibility for the bug and having a conversation with the reporter. | 05:08 |
| sfllaw | Implicitly, we know the answers to 3 and 4, because Bash crashed unexpectedly. And the crash report has the version of bash buried inside (3.1-5ubuntu1). | 05:08 |
| sfllaw | Still, we need to ask for reproduction steps. | 05:08 |
| sfllaw | If you're logged in, you can click on the "bash (Ubuntu)" task table up near the top. This allows you to modify the state of the bug. | 05:08 |
| sfllaw | There are some fields there: | 05:08 |
| sfllaw | Package: this is the source package of the bug. Bash is correct for this one. | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | Status: change this to Needs Info. This means other people won't try to triage this bug. | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | Assigned to: Me. You're claiming responsibility for having a conversation with the reporter. | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | Comment on this change: Here we should ask the reporter for more information. | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | E-mail me about changes to this bug report: Yes. This will subscribe you to any new comments about this report. | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | In the comment, we would ask for the version of Bash: | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | "Hi Longer. Could you please describe the precise steps you performed to crash bash? Thanks." | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | Click "Save Changes" and you're done. | 05:09 |
| === MarkoKaa [n=MarkoKaa@a80-186-165-168.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | When you get an e-mail from Longer responding to your question with the appropriate steps, the bug can be considered complete. You've got information on how to reproduce it and there's even a handy log file for a developer to look at. | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | We can now pass this on to the development team to fix. | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | Click "bash (Ubuntu)" again and change: | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | Status = Confirmed | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | Assigned to = Nobody | 05:09 |
| sfllaw | Click "Save Changes". | 05:09 |

| === patwack [n=patwack@cpc1-blfs4-0-0-cust262.belf.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| === stefg [n=chatzill@dslb-088-072-197-070.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | For instance, in #57413, it tells you that this bug was in Ubuntu 6.10. | 05:11 |
| sfllaw | Also, you can see the version of bash: "Package: bash 3.1-5ubuntu1" | 05:11 |
| sfllaw | And the versions of all of its Dependencies. | 05:11 |
| sfllaw | LjL asks: About "Version of the software" - should a reporter just state it (and the Ubuntu version) in the plaintext bug report, or should care be taken to actually use the Launchpad-native features for specifying versions (the usage of which, honestly, is not very clear to me)? | 05:12 |
| sfllaw | The answer to this is that there are no Launchpad-native features for providing the version number. | 05:12 |
| sfllaw | Often, it is good enough to know which Distribution it is. | 05:12 |
| sfllaw | One of the reasons you want to know the version is so that you don't go hunting for a bug that doesn't exist in the most recent source package. | 05:13 |
| sfllaw | Another reason is because if you notice a flood of bugs being filed against one package for a stable version, you know there's probably a crisis and you should tell someone. | 05:13 |
| sfllaw | Jucato asks: In reporting a bug, how do we know which package in Launchpad's list a certain program belongs to? | 05:14 |

| sfllaw | arualavi asks: what's the meaning of the word "triaging" pease? | 05:16 |
| === deepcore [n=tobias@p5498C6EC.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | triaging is the process of sorting and allocating aid on the basis of need. | 05:17 |
| === rmjb [n=ircont9k@cpe-024-088-009-063.sc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| === hunger [n=tobias@pd95b0676.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | But here it applies to new bugs that come in. | 05:17 |
| arualavi | sfllaw: thank you ;-) | 05:18 |
| sfllaw | Phoenix7477 asks: How should a triage handle a problem where a bug is listed against an older version of, say bash? Check to see if its in the new one? If it is not reproducible in the new version, should the bug be cleared? | 05:18 |
| sfllaw | In an older version of bash, you can check to see if it's in the new one. If it is, mention that this is the case in the description. | 05:19 |
| sfllaw | If it's not in the new one, it should still be left open. | 05:19 |
| sfllaw | If it's important enough, someone will issue a fix in the foo-updates archive. | 05:19 |
| sfllaw | Or someone will backport the new one. | 05:19 |
| === davmor2 [n=davmor2@62-30-74-119.cable.ubr04.wolv.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | Jucato asks: follow-up: isn't there a way to make reporting bugs a bit easier, for example in choosing which package the bug belongs to? I've compared Malone to bugs.kde.org, and while KDE's process is a bit longer (6 pages), it's also a bit less prone to error. | 05:20 |

| === samgee [n=samgee@85.108-136-217.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | Let's say you encounter a bug report that isn't a bug at all. | 05:22 |
| sfllaw | Perhaps it is a user asking for help on installing software. Like a request to be taught how to use synaptic. | 05:22 |
| sfllaw | Or perhaps it is a user asking for a new feature to be implemented. | 05:22 |
| sfllaw | You can distinguish between features and bugs this way: | 05:22 |
| === immortalxak [n=l@ns1.zrlocal.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | A feature request is a wish for new functionality that the program isn't expected to do. | 05:22 |
| === LoudMouthMan [n=nik@82-68-164-22.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | Whereas a bug is where the program fails in some way. It obviously should be doing something more correct. | 05:22 |
| sfllaw | You can respond to these by: | 05:22 |
| sfllaw | - Setting Status = Rejected | 05:22 |
| sfllaw | - Writing them a nice note in the comment explaining why it was not a valid bug. | 05:22 |
| sfllaw | You can get templates of these nice notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses | 05:22 |
| === peb__ [i=pascal@nat/hp/x-651befd3d80a41d2] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | But you are welcome to put in your own personal touches. Just remember to be friendly and polite, not terse. | 05:23 |

| === dfarning [n=dfarning@69-179-20-226.dyn.centurytel.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | LjL asks: Should anyone feel free to change a bug's status from "Unconfirmed" or "Needs info" to "Confirmed" (and similar), if they're convinced that the status of the bug has changed, or is it better etiquette to let the assignee (if any) make this sort of changes? | 05:23 |
| sfllaw | You should feel free to change something to Needs Info, if you're going to claim responsibility. | 05:24 |
| sfllaw | You can also change it to Confirmed if all the information is inside the bug. | 05:24 |
| sfllaw | Rejected is also fine, if it's not a bug. | 05:24 |
| sfllaw | As is Fix Released, if the _reporter_ says the bug has been fixed by a newer version. | 05:25 |
| sfllaw | If there's an assignee, you shouldn't go mucking about the Status too much. | 05:25 |
| sfllaw | Some of the other statuses have different meanings for different teams. | 05:25 |
| === Webspot [n=andrew@5ac5e224.bb.sky.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| === SimonAnibal [n=sruiz@66.244.123.100] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | It's fairly important that we try to clear out the queue of untriaged bugs. | 05:26 |
| sfllaw | If they're untriaged, nobody has looked at them. | 05:26 |
| sfllaw | And if nobody has looked at them, nobody will fix them. | 05:26 |
| sfllaw | :( | 05:26 |
| sfllaw | daxelrod asks: While the FindRightPackage wiki page helps, is there any list that maps project names to descriptions? (For example: LiveCD Installer <-> Ubiquity) | 05:27 |
| sfllaw | Not to my knowledge. | 05:27 |
| sfllaw | If you would like to help, you can add a section that puts this stuff in. | 05:27 |
| === theCount [n=theCount@202.153.249.139] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | Like the fact that the LiveCD is casper. | 05:27 |

| sfllaw | rmjb asks: is it bad form to assign yourself to a bug for which you are not the package maintainer? | 05:28 |
| sfllaw | It's perfectly find to assign yourself to a bug no matter who maintains it. | 05:28 |
| === Webspot [n=andrew@5ac5e224.bb.sky.com] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| sfllaw | Assignment has a specific meaning. It means "I will take responsibility for shepherding this bug." | 05:29 |
| sfllaw | That's why, when triaging, you assign yourself to the bug while you're waiting for an answer. | 05:29 |
| sfllaw | Then you can search for a list of bugs you're assigned to and follow up on them. | 05:29 |
| sfllaw | When you are done triaging, you assign to Nobody. | 05:29 |
| sfllaw | Someone else will take responsibility after that. | 05:29 |
| sfllaw | davmor2 asks: I noticed too that their is a section for importance who sets this? | 05:30 |
| sfllaw | People on the Ubuntu QA team, the Masters of the Universe, and Core Developers can set this. | 05:30 |
| sfllaw | Importance has very specific meanings, so you have to go through simple training to join. | 05:31 |

| === j^ [n=j^@e178053154.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | Generally, Fix Released means that the fix has been properly sent out to the general public. In Ubuntu, we use it to mean that it's been sent to a default archive. Like feisty or edgy-updates. | 05:33 |
| sfllaw | Fix Committed means that a fix is available somewhere. In Ubuntu, this means someone has a package in their own personal archive, or they uploaded it to edgy-proposed. | 05:33 |

| Yawner | aha ok, I have read the article, but only started triaging yesterday | 05:35 |
| sfllaw | davmor2 asks: if you get in over your head with a bug where can you turn? | 05:35 |
| sfllaw | Other members of the Bug Squad can help you. You can find someone online all the time. | 05:35 |
| sfllaw | siretart asks: in what cases do you think it makes sense to assign a bug to a team? What semantic does this have? | 05:36 |
| sfllaw | Each team typically has its own policy on what it means to assign something to it. | 05:36 |
| davmor2 | I kinda quested that would be the case but it might be something putting people off :) | 05:36 |
| === floating_ [i=vnaatane@rhea.oamk.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | You probably shouldn't assign something to a team unless you're following that policy. | 05:36 |
| sfllaw | There is documentation on the Ubuntu Wiki that will tell you when it's proper to assign or subscribe a particular team to a bug. | 05:37 |
| === WizCraker [n=WizCrake@67.42.67.214] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | davmor2 asks: if you find a bug that say allows anyone to change network setting (without asking for admin password) how can you get it prioritised? | 05:38 |
| sfllaw | Find someone who has the power to change this online. There are a lot of us, actually. | 05:38 |
| sfllaw | Generally, that should be filed as a security bug, so you won't bump into it. | 05:39 |
| sfllaw | But try private messaging dholbach or me, if it isn't one. | 05:39 |
| sfllaw | We'll set it to Security and give you a bug. | 05:39 |
| sfllaw | LjL asks: Sometimes you experience problems that you can conceivably suppose to be due to bugs - however, you are not able to track the problem down to a given package, or reproduce it reliably. Normally, I feel that in these situations, a bug report would be useless or, even worse, distracting; however, there might still be some value in reporting the problem "somewhere", so what would you recommend? A forum post, a Launchpad support | 05:40 |

| sfllaw | Yawner asks: If a bug contains a crash report, should you ask for a backtrace? Can you clarify the difference between the two? | 05:41 |
| sfllaw | The crash reports contains a backtrace within. The difference is that the crash report is more complete. | 05:41 |
| sfllaw | GNOME's bug buddy provides a bit of extra metadata. | 05:41 |
| Yawner | aha ok, thanks | 05:41 |
| sfllaw | Apport provides a lot of Ubuntu specific metadata. | 05:41 |
| sfllaw | OK. Done with this batch of questions. On we go. | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | A large class of reports are duplicates. These are filed by people who did not look or could not find a bug report identical to their problem. So they filed a new one. But looking through the bug tracking system, we can spot quite a few if we take some time. | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | For instance, let's look at the Totem's list of bugs: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bugs | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | There's a bug about screen blanking while watching movies, http://launchpad.net/bugs/66257 | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | It has one bug marked as duplicate. You can find a list of duplicates in the left sidebar. That one is http://launchpad.net/bugs/73029 | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | If someone filed a new bug that was exactly the same as this one, you could click on the "Mark as Duplicate" link in the left sidebar, and enter "66257" as the bug number. | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | This reduces the clutter in the bug tracking system. You want to choose the definitive bug with the most complete information, and make all the other duplicates refer to it. If information is scattered around, you can edit the description of the definitive bug. | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | You can find new bugs by looking at the big list of untriaged bugs, that I mentioned before. | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | Or you can join #ubuntu-bugs and listen as Ubugtu rattles off new bugs every few minutes. | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | It says things like this: | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | New bug: #73643 in gaim (main) "Gaim crashes while getting roomlist" [Undecided,Unconfirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/73643 | 05:42 |
| sfllaw | This tells you that a new bug has been filed for the gaim source package. | 05:43 |
| sfllaw | Gaim lives in main. | 05:43 |
| sfllaw | And it provides a description of what's wrong. | 05:43 |
| sfllaw | Plus a handy URL to the bug. | 05:43 |
| sfllaw | The description of a bug is mutable, so that you can summarize the discussion held in the comments. | 05:43 |
| sfllaw | This is really useful because difficult bugs may have pages and pages of comments. | 05:43 |
| === chickn [n=tyler@128.189.245.31] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | To change the description, click the "Edit Description/Tags" link in the sidebar. Try to clean up the description with a good summary of: Version, Reproduction steps, Expected result, Actual result, and a Diagnosis of the problem. | 05:43 |
| sfllaw | You should also make sure the Summary is something useful, so people browsing for duplicates can find a relevant bug easily. | 05:43 |
| sfllaw | Bad descriptions are: "Program crashes." | 05:43 |
| === Gwaihir [n=Gwaihir@mail.foredil.it] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| sfllaw | Good descriptions are: "Program crashes with 'Error 12: Can't find my brain on line 382.'" | 05:43 |
| sfllaw | A good description is easily searchable using keywords people would think of. | 05:43 |
| sfllaw | And error messages are good because they are often unique to the problem. | 05:44 |
| sfllaw | Click "Change" after updating the text. | 05:44 |
| === dzzsky [n=sky@82-41-45-254.cable.ubr06.edin.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | Ubuntu bugs can be tied to upstream bugs. They can also be tied to bugs in other distributions. | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | One example is bug 27810: http://launchpad.net/bugs/27810 | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | If you look at the task table, you'll see three different lines. | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | libaio (Ubuntu) | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | upstart (Ubuntu) | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | libaio (Debian) | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | So the first two have to do with Ubuntu packages. | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | And the third has to do with Debian ones. | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | If I were going through this bug doing triage right now, I'd do the following things. | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | - Realize that it has nothing to do with upstart, and reject it. | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | To do this, I click on the upstart (Ubuntu) task and set its Status to Rejected. | 05:45 |
| sfllaw | - Notice that Fabio claims that this isn't a problem in Ubuntu because the brokenness was never imported. | 05:46 |
| sfllaw | - Test to make sure I cannot reproduce the problem. | 05:46 |
| sfllaw | If everything works properly, I set libaio (Ubuntu)'s Status to Rejected. | 05:46 |
| sfllaw | In order to add upstream tasks, you will note two links under the task table: | 05:46 |
| sfllaw | "Also affects: +Upstream... +Distribution..." | 05:46 |
| sfllaw | If a bug affects another distribution like Fedora, Guadalinux, or Debian, with its own packages, use the +Distribution link. | 05:46 |
| sfllaw | If a bug is caused by an upstream program's misbehaviour and is not a packaging bug, use the +Upstream link. | 05:46 |
| === arualavi [n=qwerty@198.Red-83-36-106.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Leaving"] | ||
| sfllaw | You will have to file the bug in the other bug tracker, but then you can paste that bug's URL in to the "Request fix in a..." page, which will link the bugs together. | 05:46 |
| sfllaw | But often, the bug will already exist upstream, so you don't want to file a duplicate there. Just paste in that bug's URL in to our bug tracker. | 05:47 |
| sfllaw | Every day, the status of this bug will be updated with the upstream's status. | 05:47 |
| sfllaw | Plus, you can search for bugs which have been fixed by upstream. | 05:47 |
| sfllaw | Now that I've got you interested, you may be asking "sfllaw: How can I join the BugSquad?" | 05:47 |
| === Netfinity [n=netfinit@a212-54-24-152.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | You don't have to have any serious experience before applying. You can start in BugSquad right now. | 05:47 |

| sfllaw | You can join by: | 05:48 |
| sfllaw | - Joining the #ubuntu-bugs channel | 05:48 |
| sfllaw | - Getting a Launchpad account | 05:48 |
| sfllaw | - Applying for membership at https://launchpad.net/people/bugsquad | 05:48 |
| sfllaw | For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs which describes how to help with bugs and how to participate in the BugSquad. | 05:48 |
| sfllaw | We hang out in the #ubuntu-bugs IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. | 05:48 |
| sfllaw | You can find help and encouragement (and hugs) there all the time. | 05:48 |
| sfllaw | Finally, I want to point out that we have an UbuntuHugDay scheduled for next Wednesday. If you want to start helping with bugs, that would be a great time to pitch in. | 05:49 |
| sfllaw | Thanks everybody! | 05:49 |

| sfllaw | If you ever meet dholbach or me in real life, we're pretty happy to give you a real hug too. | 05:50 |
| sfllaw | Hugging is a nice way to put a smile on someone's face. I highly recommend giving away free hugs. | 05:50 |
| sfllaw | jrib asks: Can a bug have more than one assignee? If not, is it just because this will cause confusion? | 05:51 |
| === DShepherd [n=dwight@72.252.28.101] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | It doesn't really make sense to have more than one "person" responsible for a bug. | 05:51 |
| sfllaw | If you want to keep track of a bug, you can subscribe to it. | 05:51 |
| sfllaw | There can be an unlimited number of subscribers. | 05:51 |
| sfllaw | Jucato asks: There's a particular situation regarding KDE bugs. KDE people want KDE bugs reported upstream rather than in Launchpad. does this present a problem for users and the bug squad? | 05:52 |
| sfllaw | There is little we can do to prevent people from filing bugs in Ubuntu's bug tracker. And we don't want to discourage them. | 05:52 |
| sfllaw | For instance, we could have introduced the bug ourselves with a patch. | 05:52 |
| === thiebaude [n=thiebaud@68-119-176-236.dhcp.snfr.nc.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | We are happy to forward bugs upstream so that KDE people can fix them. | 05:52 |
| sfllaw | And link them in with our bug tracker, as I described above. | 05:52 |
| sfllaw | Having it in Launchpad means Ubuntu developers will know about the problem and can find out about the fix when KDE releases it. | 05:53 |
| sfllaw | Yawner asks: I have just opened a bug report for Skype, to my knowledge this is not within the Ubuntu Repositories? Do I just forward this bug upstream to Skype? Or reject it? | 05:54 |

| === Lesley [n=Lesley@dsl-241-76-46.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | So the answer to this is two-part: | 05:54 |
| sfllaw | If it's a problem with Ubuntu that prevents a third-party package from working, that would be a bug. | 05:55 |
| sfllaw | If it's the third-party package that's broken, you will want to Reject the bug and ask the reporter to talk with the authors. | 05:55 |
| === DARKGuy [n=DARKGuy@201.208.215.208] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| Yawner | hmm.. ok , thanks | 05:55 |
| sfllaw | So as an example of the first problem, if we broke glibc by accident, then that would be our bug. | 05:55 |
| === nmrm [n=nuno@87-196-219-195.net.novis.pt] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | The chances of this happening are pretty low, though. | 05:56 |
| sfllaw | Jucato asks: well, they say that they don't get informed of the KDE bugs that are filed in Launchpad or that they don't want to keep track of 2 bugtrackers. who forwards them upstream, when and how are they forwarded, and how do you know which ones to forward? | 05:56 |
| === hydraw [n=andrew@host86-138-135-226.range86-138.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sfllaw | That is a fair statement, but there is nothing we can do to prevent users from filing KDE bugs into Launchpad. | 05:57 |
| sfllaw | And Kubuntu is often the first experience people have with KDE. | 05:57 |
| sfllaw | Even if they don't know what KDE is. | 05:57 |
| sfllaw | The BugSquad is the group that does much of the forwarding. | 05:57 |

| pitti | oh, I will usually paste a snippet and then give you some time to catch up and ask, ok? | 06:03 |
| pitti | == Why use separate patches == | 06:03 |
| pitti | In earlier times, people just applied patches inline (i. e. directly in the source code tree). However, this makes it very hard to extract patches later to modify them, send them upstream, etc. Also this means that new upstream versions are a pain, since they generate a lot of rejections when applying the package diff.gz to them. | 06:03 |
| === elliot__ [n=elliot@82.152.96.248] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === debarshi is now known as rishi | ||
| pitti | With split-out patches it is much easier to send them upstream, keep track of them, develop them, etc., since you always see which changes belong together. | 06:03 |
| pitti | The ideal state is an unmodified tarball from upstream, plus clean and separate patches, plus the packaging bits in debian/. That means that lsdiff <sourcepackage>.diff.gz only contains debian/. | 06:03 |
| pitti | The first attempts to split-out patches were pretty trivial: storing patches in debian/patches/, and adding some patch/patch -R snippets to debian/rules. This worked for small patches, but provided no tools for editing these patches, updating them for new upstream versions, etc. | 06:04 |
| pitti | Thus several standard patch systems were created which are easy to deploy and provide tools for patch juggling and editing. | 06:04 |
| pitti | any general questions at this point? | 06:04 |
| === mockfrog [n=gr1ff1n@xdsl-213-196-209-3.netcologne.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | no? ok | 06:05 |
| jrib | nope, I'm ok | 06:05 |
| pitti | What I would like to do now is to introduce the most common patch systems and show some hands-on demo how to add a new patch and how to edit one. For this, I will point at a source package from the current dapper archive, quickly explain the patch system, and show how to apply some (braindead) modifications to it. I recommend you to do the same steps in a terminal, so that you get a feeling for the process and can immediately ask questions. | 06:05 |
| pitti | everyone you fine with this approach? | 06:05 |
| elliot__ | Yeah, sounds good | 06:05 |
| === AsinoVolante [n=AsinoVol@81-178-94-116.dsl.pipex.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | If you want to try the stuff yourself, please do the following commands (on edgy) as preparation: | 06:05 |
| pitti | sudo apt-get install dpatch cdbs quilt patchutils devscripts | 06:05 |
| pitti | apt-get source cron udev pmount gnome-volume-manager ed xterm | 06:05 |
| pitti | wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/scripts/dsrc-new-patch | 06:05 |
| pitti | chmod 755 dsrc-new-patch | 06:05 |
| pitti | I deliberately picked the smallest packages I could find | 06:05 |
| === pitti waits a bit for people to do the preparations | ||
| pitti | ok? | 06:07 |
| ailean | 2 mins | 06:07 |
| jrib | yep | 06:07 |
| elliot__ | I'm done | 06:07 |
| jorgp | im ready | 06:07 |
| dzzsky | Yes | 06:07 |
| Netfinity | done | 06:07 |
| ailean | done | 06:07 |
| pitti | ailean: the first one doesn't require action from you, just let it grind | 06:08 |
| chickn | rdy. | 06:08 |
| pitti | == cron: inline patches == | 06:08 |
| pitti | No patch system at all, nothing much to say about this. You directly edit the files in the source tree. This is convenient for a simple and quick change, but will bite back for new upstream versions (see above) and is inconvenient for submitting patches upstream, or reviewing for merges. | 06:08 |
| pitti | if you do 'lsdiff <package>.diff.gz' and you see changes which are not in debian/, then you probably have such a package | 06:08 |
| pitti | (some KDE packages have autoconf stuff directly in the diff.gz, but that is ok) | 06:08 |
| pitti | so, I think I do not need to say anything else about cron, unless someone has a question | 06:08 |

| pitti | this style of packages can be mainly found in (1) packages which are around for ages (like cron) or packages where Debian/Ubuntu is upstream | 06:08 |
| pitti | or when the maintainer simply thinks he won't need a patch system | 06:09 |
| pitti | :) | 06:09 |
| pitti | ok, then let's dive in | 06:09 |
| === devilsadvocate [n=devilsad@203.200.95.183] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | == udev: separate patches, but no patch system == | 06:09 |
| === Webspot [n=andrew@5ac5e224.bb.sky.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | This case is the most complicated one since you have to do all the hard work manually. In order to make you understand what a patch system does, and to give you a fallback method that will *always* work with any patch system, I handle this first. | 06:09 |
| pitti | The good news is that you will seldomly be required to actually do this procedure, since for many packages there are nice tools which make things a charm. | 06:09 |
| pitti | The bad news is that it may seem utterly complicated for people who never did it before, but I would like you to understand what's actually going on behind the curtains of the tools. | 06:09 |
| pitti | since it is your live safer | 06:10 |
| pitti | life, even | 06:10 |
| pitti | So please do not desperate if you do not fully understand it at first; there's written documentation and you can always take your time to grok it. | 06:10 |
| pitti | The general approach is: | 06:10 |
| pitti | oh, please ask questions right here, as I asked for | 06:10 |

| pitti | <jrib> QUESTION: we need lsdiff -z <package>.diff.gz right? | 06:11 |
| pitti | jrib: right, that will show what the diff.gz touches | 06:11 |
| pitti | ideally this is just debian/ | 06:11 |
| pitti | <ailean> QUESTION: I'm a complete beginner to all of this . . . I'm unsure about what cron is, and what .diff.gz is. Should I consult something else before coming back to read these logs? | 06:11 |

| ailean | fair enough . . . :) | 06:12 |
| === stani [n=stani@85.148.236.59] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | this is intended to be a tutorial for people who want to hack on packages | 06:12 |
| pitti | ailean: but of course feel free to listen | 06:12 |
| pitti | ailean: cron is 'just a random package' for our purposes | 06:12 |
| pitti | ailean: and a diff.gz is the disto specific part on top of the original upstream tarball, with all the packaging specific bits and code changes | 06:13 |
| pitti | but due to limited time I can't be more specific here | 06:13 |
| pitti | ok, so the general approach | 06:13 |
| pitti | 1. copy the clean source tree to a temporary directory /tmp/old | 06:13 |
| pitti | 2. apply all patches up to the one you want to edit; if you want to create a new patch, apply all existing ones (this is necessary since in general patches depend on previous patches) | 06:13 |
| pitti | 3. copy the whole source tree again: cp -a /tmp/old /tmp/new | 06:13 |
| pitti | 4. go into /tmp/new, do your modifications | 06:13 |
| pitti | 5. go back into /tmp and generate the patch with | 06:13 |
| pitti | diff -Nurp old new > mypatchname.patch | 06:13 |
| pitti | 6. move the newly generated patch to <original source dir>/debian/patches/mypatchname.patch | 06:13 |

| === Jucato [n=jucato@58.69.160.79] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Konversation] | ||
| pitti | just an explanation of the '-Nurp' diff options: | 06:14 |
| pitti | in general we want the following diff options: | 06:14 |
| pitti | -N -> include new files | 06:14 |
| pitti | -u -> unified patches (context diffs are ugly) | 06:14 |
| pitti | -r -> recursive | 06:14 |
| pitti | -p -> bonus, you can see the name of the affected function in the patch | 06:14 |
| pitti | does anyone have a question about the principle method? | 06:14 |

| pitti | jrib: right | 06:16 |
| chickn | wait..before you go too far, i don't get how you know if a package has a 'patching system' or not.. | 06:16 |
| pitti | jrib: in 95% of the cases, patches are applied in asciibetical order, and since most patches are prefixed with a number, sorted by number | 06:16 |
| === ailean is listening, but is overwhelmed :) | ||
| pitti | chickn: ah, good question | 06:16 |

| jrib | pitti: yep, carry on | 06:19 |
| pitti | udev example 1, let's create a new patch 90_penguins.patch: | 06:19 |
| pitti | cd /whereever/you/unpacked/the/source/udev-093 | 06:19 |
| pitti | -> now we are in our original source tree where we want to add a new patch | 06:19 |
| pitti | cp -a . /tmp/old | 06:20 |
| pitti | -> create a copy of the clean sources as reference tree | 06:20 |
| pitti | pushd /tmp/old | 06:20 |
| pitti | -> go to /tmp/old; 'pushd' to remember the previous directory, so that we can go back conveniently | 06:20 |
| pitti | debian/rules patch | 06:20 |
| pitti | -> apply all already existing patches; of course we could use the 'patch' program to do it manually, but since debian/rules already knows how to do it, let's use it. The actual name for the patch target varies, I have seen the following ones so far: patch, setup, apply-patches, unpack, patch-stamp. You have to look in debian/rules how it is called. | 06:20 |

| pitti | -> changes the README file; of course you can use your favourite editor, but I wanted to keep my examples copy&pasteable | 06:23 |
| pitti | and now we create a patch between the reference and our new tree: | 06:23 |
| pitti | cd .. | 06:23 |
| pitti | -> go back to /tmp, i. e. where our reference tree (old) and hacked tree (new) is located | 06:23 |
| pitti | diff -Nurp old new > 90_penguins.patch | 06:23 |
| pitti | -> generate the patch (Ignore the 'recursive directory loop' warnings) | 06:23 |
| pitti | popd | 06:23 |

| pitti | mv /tmp/90_penguins.patch debian/patches | 06:24 |
| pitti | -> move the patch from /tmp to the source tree's patch directory, where it belongs. | 06:24 |
| pitti | *uff* :) | 06:24 |
| pitti | Now take a look at your shiny new debian/patches/90_penguins.patch. | 06:24 |
| pitti | after that, if you do 'debian/rules patch', you'll see that the patch applies cleanly; please do 'debclean' afterwards to unapply the patches and get back a pristine source tree | 06:24 |
| pitti | so, obviously that's not the end of the wisdom, but if you do these steps a couple of times, you should get a feeling for how to create the most complicated patch conceivable | 06:25 |
| pitti | so this procedure is the life safer if anything else fails | 06:25 |
| pitti | questions so far? | 06:25 |
| jrib | I notice that the patches jump from 01 to 40, and sometimes only jump by 5. What is the convention in naming the patches? | 06:25 |
| pitti | jrib: there's no real policy | 06:25 |
| pitti | jrib: often patches are named in ascending order, then maybe patch 05 becomes obsolete or applied upstream | 06:26 |
| chickn | but if you're writing patches on top of ones already applied - shouldn't your name be something that will come last? | 06:26 |
| pitti | jrib: sometimes, maintainers organize them in blocks | 06:26 |

| jrib | good point | 06:36 |
| jorgp | im with you | 06:36 |
| pitti | Since this is so hideously complicated, patch systems were invented to aid you with that. Let's look at the most popular ones now (they are sufficient to allow you to patch about 90% of the archive's source packages; for the rest you have to resort to the manual approach above). | 06:36 |
| pitti | == pmount: cdbs with simple-patchsys == | 06:37 |
| pitti | cdbs' simple-patchsys.mk module matches its name, it has no bells and whistles whatsoever. However, it is pretty popular since it is sufficient for most tasks, and long ago I wrote a script 'cdbs-edit-patch' which most people can live with pretty well. This script is contained in the normal cdbs package. | 06:37 |
| === DeepY0X [n=DeepY0X@201.240.132.231] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| jrib | nope, this is a lot easier :) | 06:42 |
| pitti | I promised :) | 06:42 |
| pitti | == ed: dpatch == | 06:42 |
| === knight__ [n=knight@202.83.61.164] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | dpatch is a pretty robust and proven patch system which also ships a script 'dpatch-edit-patch' | 06:42 |
| pitti | The two most important things you should be aware of: | 06:42 |
| pitti | * dpatch does not apply debian/patches/*, but instead applies all patches mentioned in debian/patches/00list, in the mentioned order. That means that you do not have to rely on asciibetical ordering of the patches and can easily disable patches, but you have to make sure to not forget to update 00list if you add a new patch. | 06:42 |
| pitti | (forgetting to update 00list is a common cause of followup uploads) | 06:42 |
| === kyrill [n=kyrill@ACB1C047.ipt.aol.com] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| pitti | * dpatch patches are actually scripts that are executed, not just patches fed to 'patch'. That means you can also do fancy things like calling autoconf or using sed in a dpatch if you want. | 06:43 |
| pitti | using dpatch for non-native patches is rare, and normally you do not need to worry about how a .dpatch file looks like | 06:43 |
| pitti | but I think it's important to mention it | 06:43 |
| pitti | so if you ever want to replace *all* instances of Debian with Ubuntu in all files, write a dpatch with a small shell script that uses sed | 06:43 |
| pitti | instead of doing a 300 KB static patch which won't apply to the next version anyway | 06:43 |
| pitti | The manpage is very good and has examples, too, so I will only give an example here: | 06:44 |
| === thaile [n=dominik@85-124-1-17.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| === thaile [n=dominik@85-124-1-17.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | This will edit an already existing patch and take care that all previous patches are applied in order: | 06:44 |
| pitti | cd /whereever/you/unpacked/the/source/ed-0.2 | 06:44 |
| pitti | dpatch-edit-patch 05_ed.1-warning-fix | 06:44 |
| pitti | <edit stuff, press Ctrl+D> | 06:44 |
| pitti | so that's exactly like cdbs-edit-patch | 06:44 |
| pitti | ok, now we edited a patch, that's pretty easy, right? | 06:44 |
| === webroid [i=Miranda@dhcp-68-53.imt.uwm.edu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jorgp | yes | 06:44 |
| pitti | now let's create a new one; this is different from cdbs-edit-patch | 06:44 |
| pitti | (due to the 00list handling) | 06:44 |
| pitti | dpatch-edit-patch foo.dpatch 06_testsuite-Makefile.dpatch | 06:45 |
| pitti | <edit stuff, press Ctrl+D> | 06:45 |
| pitti | echo foo.dpatch >> debian/patches/00list | 06:45 |
| pitti | This will create a new patch foo.dpatch relative to the already existing 06_testsuite-Makefile.dpatch. If your patch is very confined and does not depend on other patches, you can leave out the second argument. | 06:45 |
| === thaile [n=dominik@85-124-1-17.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| pitti | please note the last action (adding your new patch at the appropriate position in the patch list) | 06:45 |
| jorgp | would it still be in this scope of discussion to talk about patches that don't apply cleanly | 06:45 |
| pitti | so again, dpatch does *not* rely on any asciibetical order by default | 06:46 |
| pitti | jorgp: of course | 06:46 |
| pitti | jorgp: if you get a source package from the archive, they should apply cleanly | 06:46 |
| === arualavi [n=qwerty@198.Red-83-36-106.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | jorgp: and if you got a patch from upstream and stick it into debian/patches/, but it doesn't apply, you have to fix it, of course | 06:46 |
| pitti | jorgp: cdbs-edit-patch and dpatch-e-p will just try and leave you in the shell with the *.rej files | 06:47 |
| pitti | then you simply resolve the *.rej files, and press C-D to update the patch | 06:47 |
| === thaile [n=dominik@85-124-1-17.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | jorgp: is that what you meant? | 06:48 |
| jorgp | yes | 06:48 |
| jorgp | thanks | 06:48 |
| pitti | jorgp: however, please keep in mind that a dpatch is a patch with a shell script header, not a simple patch (as mentioned above) | 06:48 |
| pitti | so to avoid this entirely, you should never just stick an unknown patch into debian/patches | 06:48 |
| pitti | instead, you use *-edit-patch | 06:48 |
| pitti | and *then* use patch -p1 < /path/to/your/new/patch | 06:49 |
| pitti | edit the mess there | 06:49 |
| pitti | and let *-edit-patch create the actual patch in the source tree | 06:49 |
| === expat [n=expat@222.123.61.42] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Konversation] | ||
| pitti | ok? | 06:49 |
| jrib | yep | 06:50 |
| pitti | then let's go to the last patch system | 06:50 |
| pitti | == xterm: quilt == | 06:50 |
| pitti | quilt is the other non-dumb standard patch system. Like dpatch, it has a list of patches to apply in patches/series (to use debian/patches, packages need to add a sylink). | 06:50 |
| pitti | It is non-trivial to set up and has a lot of advanced commands which make it very flexible, but not very easy to use. | 06:50 |
| pitti | nontrivial to set up for Debian source packages, that is | 06:50 |
| pitti | (it's not hard either, but more work than simple-patchsys, and even dpatch) | 06:50 |
| pitti | I will only show a small example here | 06:50 |
| pitti | in the xterm source | 06:50 |
| pitti | First, you can use the existing machinery to set up symlinks and directories for quilt: | 06:51 |
| pitti | cd /whereever/you/unpacked/the/source/xterm-216 | 06:51 |
| pitti | debian/rules prepare | 06:51 |
| === webroid [i=Miranda@dhcp-68-53.imt.uwm.edu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | the 'prepare' target is not standardized; you need to look into debian/rules | 06:51 |
| pitti | however, it usually boils down to 'export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches' (which should work fine everywhere) | 06:51 |
| pitti | since quilt's default patch dir is ./patches | 06:51 |
| pitti | so some packages set up a symlink, some export QUILT_PATCHES, etc. | 06:51 |
| pitti | Now let's edit the already existing patch 901_xterm_manpage.diff: | 06:52 |
| === stefg [n=chatzill@dslb-088-072-197-070.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | quilt push 901_xterm_manpage.diff | 06:52 |
| pitti | this will apply all patches in the stack up to the given one | 06:52 |
| pitti | apply inline right in the source tree, that is | 06:52 |
| pitti | i. e. *not* in a temporary directory and not in a subshell | 06:52 |
| pitti | quilt keeps track of applied patches in the source tree internally | 06:52 |
| pitti | now let's edit a file that is already touched by the original patch | 06:53 |
| pitti | sed -i 's/Copyright/Copyleft/' xterm.man | 06:53 |
| pitti | let's commit the change: | 06:53 |
| pitti | quilt refresh 901_xterm_manpage.diff | 06:53 |
| pitti | So unlike the other patch systems, quilt works with patched inline sources, but keeps track of modifications. | 06:53 |
| === pitti waits a bit for people to catch up and finish the example on their keyboards | ||
| === tsmithe-afk [n=bip@82-70-109-22.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === tsmithe-afk is now known as tsmithe | ||
| === Sanne [n=Sanne@p548DA168.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | k? | 06:54 |
| jrib | k | 06:54 |
| jorgp | k | 06:55 |
| pitti | Finally, let's add a new patch to the top of the stack: | 06:55 |
| pitti | quilt push -a | 06:55 |
| pitti | '-a' means 'all patches', thus it applies all further patches after 901_xterm_manpage.diff up to the top | 06:55 |
| pitti | quilt new muhaha.diff | 06:55 |
| pitti | register a new patch name (which we want to put on top of the patch stack) | 06:55 |
| === lotusleaf [n=lotuslea@kernel-panic/member/carne.asada.burrito] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["trombone"] | ||
| pitti | quilt add README | 06:55 |
| pitti | you have to do that for all files you modify, so that quilt can keep track of the original version | 06:55 |
| pitti | this tells quilt to keep track of the original version of README | 06:55 |
| pitti | sed -i '1 s/^/MUHAHA/' README | 06:55 |
| pitti | modify the source | 06:55 |
| pitti | quilt refresh | 06:56 |
| pitti | this will finally create debian/patches/muhaha.diff with the changes to README | 06:56 |
| pitti | as I already said above, quilt has a patch list, too | 06:56 |
| pitti | in debian/patches/series | 06:56 |
| pitti | which is much like debian/patches/00list for dpatch | 06:56 |
| pitti | and if you push -a, then the patch will land on top of the patch stack, and will automatically be put at the end of series | 06:56 |
| === a7p [n=Albrecht@p54AE22D9.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | of course you can create the patch in other levels of the patch stack | 06:57 |
| pitti | but usually you want the top | 06:57 |
| pitti | sometimes, when you pull changes from upstream CVS, it's better to put them at the bottom of the stack | 06:57 |
| pitti | i. e. upstream changes shuold generally come *before* distro-specific changes | 06:57 |
| pitti | ok? | 06:57 |
| jrib | ok | 06:57 |
| pitti | === A glimpse into the future === | 06:58 |
| === jonh_wendell [n=wendell@200165129086.user.veloxzone.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === vdepizzol [n=vinicius@200.242.12.134] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| pitti | As you saw, Debian source packages do not have any requirements wrt. structure, patch systems, etc., other source package systems like SRPM are much stricter wrt that. This of course means more flexibility, but also much more learning overhead. | 06:58 |
| pitti | As a member of the security team I can tell tales of the pain of a gazillion different source package layouts... :) | 06:58 |
| pitti | Therefore some clever people sat together the other day to propose a new design which would both give us a new and unified source package and patch system that uses bzr (with a quilt-like workflow). This would also integrate packages and patches much better into Launchpad and revision control in general. | 06:58 |
| pitti | Please take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NoMoreSourcePackages if you are interested in this. | 06:58 |
| pitti | I don't want to handle this here, since it's really distant future | 06:59 |

| pitti | thank you for your attention! | 06:59 |

| seb128 | hi everybody | 08:02 |
| ypsila | moin | 08:03 |
| seb128 | I'm Sebastien Bacher, working for Canonical and member of the Ubuntu DesktopTeam | 08:03 |
| seb128 | I'll do a short presentation first of what are the team goals and what is the team doing and what you can do if you want to contribute | 08:03 |
| seb128 | then I'll reply to questions | 08:04 |
| seb128 | !questions | 08:04 |
| ubotu | Please ask your questions here in #ubuntu-classroom-chat rather than #ubuntu-classroom (prefix them with "QUESTION: " or the instructor's nickname) | 08:04 |
| seb128 | for questions then | 08:04 |
| seb128 | and I (or somebody else if somebody wants to do the job) will copy them on that chan and I'll reply | 08:04 |

| seb128 | quick round, do we have any member of the desktop team around who want to say hi and what they are doing quickly? ;) | 08:05 |
| seb128 | dholbach? ;) | 08:05 |
| === amnesia [n=amnesia@p549DDB31.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| apokryphos | dholbach is away: /me -> walk | 08:06 |
| seb128 | it's sort of dinner time for people on european time so maybe some people are not around | 08:06 |
| seb128 | anyway, let's start | 08:06 |
| === Lesley [n=Lesley@dsl-241-76-46.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | The desktop team is the team working on the Ubuntu desktop. | 08:06 |
| seb128 | The main goals for the team are: | 08:06 |
| seb128 | - update desktop packages when new upstream versions are available | 08:06 |
| seb128 | - make easy for users to try new cool softwares by packaging them quickly | 08:06 |
| seb128 | - have a good collaboration with upstream | 08:06 |
| seb128 | - triage and fix desktop bugs | 08:06 |
| seb128 | - make the Ubuntu Desktop ROCK! | 08:06 |
| dholbach | I'm Daniel Holbach, work for Canonical too and am part of the Desktop Team also. I work on Telepathy too, Accessibility, and a couple of other teams also. :-) | 08:06 |
| seb128 | hey dholbach :) | 08:06 |
| === seb128 hugs dholbach | ||
| dholbach | guys, I don't type as quick as seb128 | 08:06 |
| === dholbach hugs seb128 | ||
| dholbach | :) | 08:07 |
| seb128 | note that the team is friendly and hugs are common around ;) | 08:07 |
| seb128 | 08:07 | |
| seb128 | Where you can find members of the desktop team: | 08:07 |
| seb128 | - the #ubuntu-desktop@freenode IRC chan | 08:07 |
| seb128 | - the ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com mailing list | 08:07 |
| seb128 | 08:07 | |
| seb128 | feel free to join the chan or the list at any time if you want to ask any question or start working on the desktop and help the team | 08:07 |
| seb128 | 08:08 | |
| seb128 | let see what the team do and where you can help | 08:08 |
| seb128 | 08:08 | |
| seb128 | * Work on Bugs: | 08:08 |
| seb128 | Bugs managements is a good part of the work for the desktop team at the moment and required to prioritise the work and now what problems should worked first | 08:08 |
| seb128 | . | 08:08 |
| seb128 | - Places for desktop bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/people/desktop-bugs/+assignedbugs, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Bugs | 08:08 |
| seb128 | - You can help the Desktop Team by joining the bug squad (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad) | 08:08 |
| seb128 | * 236 members to date | 08:08 |
| seb128 | * ~60000 bug mails in the last year ;-) | 08:08 |
| === Circus-Killer [n=chillled@dsl-241-221-151.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | * Hug Days | 08:08 |
| seb128 | * forward useful bugs and investigate with upstream | 08:08 |
| seb128 | * make bug useful (reassign them to the right place, ask for required details, get debug backtrace for crashers, clean bugs that should be closed) | 08:08 |
| seb128 | - help listing bugs that should be fixed for the next version of Ubuntu (or fixes to backport) | 08:08 |
| seb128 | 08:08 | |
| seb128 | bugs are taking a good part of our efforts at the moment and somebody anybody can help easily on | 08:09 |
| dholbach | ~60000 bug mails (only for desktop bugs) | 08:09 |
| === jean__ [n=jean@189.131.3.140] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === acacs [n=acacs@20132160197.user.veloxzone.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | dholbach: stat for this year? | 08:09 |
| dholbach | no stats yet | 08:09 |
| seb128 | any, lot, so any help is welcome :) | 08:10 |
| dholbach | but I'd expect it to be *1.5 at the very least | 08:10 |
| seb128 | there is not only bugs though | 08:10 |
| seb128 | 08:10 | |
| seb128 | * Communication with other teams, upstream, Debian, etc: | 08:10 |
| seb128 | We want to have a good relationship with the people we work with | 08:10 |
| seb128 | . | 08:10 |
| seb128 | - work on forwarding patches upstream (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/UpstreamDelta), having a low delta is better for everybody | 08:10 |
| seb128 | - become point of contact between the distribution and upstream for packages you have an interest in | 08:10 |
| seb128 | - work with other teams and Debian | 08:10 |
| seb128 | 08:10 | |
| seb128 | if people from upstream world want to work with us to make sure their software work nicely on Ubuntu they are welcome | 08:11 |
| seb128 | and we are really looking for people to "adopt an upstream" | 08:11 |
| seb128 | = being the point of contact in the distribution for a package and working with upstream making sure everybody is happy | 08:11 |
| seb128 | 08:12 | |
| seb128 | another point | 08:12 |
| seb128 | 08:12 | |
| seb128 | * Documentation: | 08:12 |
| seb128 | A good documentation help new contributors to know where to start and also not-so-new team members how to do specific things, or what is to do by example | 08:12 |
| seb128 | . | 08:12 |
| seb128 | - help by writing specifications (i.e: documents on launchpad and the wiki that describes the changes we want to get implemented and how) | 08:12 |
| seb128 | - update wiki pages for the DesktopTeam (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam) (goals, list of things to do, documentation, how to start, etc) | 08:12 |
| seb128 | 08:12 | |
| seb128 | the documentation is important too | 08:12 |
| seb128 | we are especially looking for good documentation helping the people who start | 08:12 |
| seb128 | because it's not easy to start when you don't know what to do | 08:13 |
| seb128 | and after some time people tend to forget the difficulties they have when they started | 08:13 |
| seb128 | we have everything to win making it easy for people who want to participate :) | 08:13 |
| === asf [n=asf@prt8.mpt.gov.br] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | 08:13 | |
| seb128 | next point | 08:14 |
| seb128 | * Packaging: | 08:14 |
| seb128 | Most of the work for a distribution is at the packaging level which means there is some place to contribute there too :) | 08:14 |
| seb128 | . | 08:14 |
| seb128 | - help doing desktop packages updates (update the package, test the new version, communicate issues with upstream is there is any) | 08:14 |
| seb128 | - pick a package you have interest in (contacting the usual maintainer before starting to work on it might be a good idea) and start working on it. No need to have uploads right to start on a package, having your first updates mentored is usually a good start and way to learn. If you do a good job you can quickly become the maintainer for that package | 08:14 |
| seb128 | - work on fixing issues by writting patches or backporting them from upstream and applying those fixes to the packages | 08:14 |
| seb128 | - package new softwares | 08:14 |
| seb128 | 08:14 | |
| seb128 | we tend to keep up with the GNOME desktop updates usually | 08:14 |
| === silbs [n=jane@217.205.109.249] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| seb128 | but there is lot of nice softwares around users would like to play with | 08:14 |
| === amnesia [n=amnesia@p549DDB31.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | and that would be nice if people who like to play with them etc would step and maintain the corresponding package | 08:15 |
| seb128 | and being a contact point for those upstream too ;) | 08:15 |
| === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === amnesia [n=amnesia@p549DDB31.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | 08:15 | |
| seb128 | and there is testing too! | 08:16 |
| seb128 | * Testing: | 08:16 |
| seb128 | - help testing GNOME, write specific test plans | 08:16 |
| seb128 | * Other: | 08:16 |
| seb128 | - new ideas: bring your good ideas of changes for the Ubuntu desktop and help to implement them | 08:16 |
| seb128 | - teams: if you can motivate several people to work on a project creating a team around it is a good way to organize work: pda, printing, mono, telepathy, etc | 08:16 |
| seb128 | 08:16 | |
| === gsuveg [n=me@248-244.dyn-fa.pool.ew.hu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | that's a summary of the things we are working on I think | 08:17 |
| seb128 | if I forgot some let me know | 08:17 |
| seb128 | now just a few examples of tasks where you could start | 08:17 |
| seb128 | and we will do questions | 08:17 |
| seb128 | 08:17 | |
| seb128 | Examples of tasks to start: | 08:17 |
| seb128 | - If you feel comfortable enough to reply to upstream comment about bugs there is a list of bugs that should be forwarded upstream available on http://tinyurl.com/yzd8t3 (you can also pick bugs not listed there yet, there is plenty of them not categorized to forward) | 08:17 |
| seb128 | - Clean old 'NeedsInfo' bugs | 08:17 |
| seb128 | - help out with packaging, maintaining, merging | 08:17 |
| seb128 | - review bugs with patches attached | 08:17 |
| seb128 | - look at bugs tagged as 'ubuntulove' | 08:17 |
| seb128 | - write about the new cool changes happening to the UbuntuDesktop world for UWN: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter | 08:17 |
| seb128 | - update wiki pages for the DesktopTeam to make them useful, especially for new contributors (having an updated and useful https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TODO would be nice by example) | 08:17 |
| seb128 | Start here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/GettingStarted | 08:17 |
| seb128 | 08:18 | |
| seb128 | ok | 08:18 |
| seb128 | that's done for the presentation | 08:18 |
| === sharms [n=sharms@ubuntu/member/sharms] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | let's do question then | 08:18 |
| apokryphos | <stefg> QUESTION: Ubuntu introduced the Apps/Places/System trinity to gnome, so the System menu is doing the job of a system-tool like yast/drakconf/foobar. But what about xorg.conf generation anything like SaX in the pipeline? (I hate to advice people: You've got to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg! reaction: ".... dpkg....what???") | 08:18 |
| seb128 | anybody wants to pick the interesting ones from -chat and copy there on the chan? | 08:18 |
| seb128 | apokryphos: thank you ;) | 08:18 |
| apokryphos | np 8) | 08:19 |
| === PriceChild [n=pricechi@unix0.york.ac.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === Lynoure [n=lynoure@lynoure.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | stefg: the DesktopTeam doesn't maintain xorg, xorg is big enough to have it's own team. I think that xorg has an autoconfig branch and it's going to land to feisty | 08:19 |
| Circus-Killer | QUESTION: For now it seems to me that the Desktop team is a mix of all other themes together? You pointed out fixing bugs (not for the bugsquad theme?) and working on documentation (not for the documentation theme?) Is this correct, or just a bit confusion from my point of view? | 08:19 |
| LjL | !questions | 08:20 |
| ubotu | Please ask your questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat | 08:20 |

| apokryphos | <rulus> QUESTION: For now it seems to me that the Desktop team is a mix of all other themes together? You pointed out fixing bugs (not for the bugsquad theme?) and working on documentation (not for the documentation theme?) Is this correct, or just a bit confusion from my point of view? | 08:20 |
| stefg | That's not a xorg-thing... will we have a graphical tool to configure xorg is the question... | 08:20 |
| === tsmithe-afk is now known as tsmithe | ||
| === mruiz [n=mruiz@www.3ie.cl] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | stefg: ah, nothing planned for that no | 08:20 |
| seb128 | stefg: the way to go is autoconfig from xorg rather than a tool to do it | 08:20 |
| apokryphos | stefg: Kubuntu is working on one for Feisty, as I recall. | 08:21 |
| seb128 | if I understood what the xorg team wants to do | 08:21 |
| apokryphos | (in kubuntu there is only some basic configuration available for it at the moment, with kde-guidance) | 08:21 |
| seb128 | ok, I'm not sure, better ask some xorg guy | 08:21 |
| === ypsila [n=opera@p54AA1C6E.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| seb128 | nothing planned from the desktop team side | 08:22 |
| seb128 | 08:22 | |
| seb128 | rulus: good question | 08:22 |
| === Chastell [n=shot@dnm221.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | bugsquad is not specific to the desktop | 08:22 |
| === __grep__ [n=philippj@80-45-77-243.static.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | but the desktop is a component which gets a lot of bugs | 08:22 |
| seb128 | and you can really help by joining the bugsquad team and help on desktop bugs | 08:23 |
| seb128 | because the time we spend fighting bugs we can't spend it working on the desktop | 08:23 |
| seb128 | and that's not easy to find a balance | 08:23 |
| seb128 | documentation is made by the documentation team | 08:23 |
| seb128 | I was rather speaking about documentation about the desktop organisation | 08:23 |
| seb128 | and where to start etc | 08:23 |
| seb128 | which should be written for the team by people around the team | 08:24 |
| seb128 | the ubuntu-doc team has enough to do documenting Ubuntu | 08:24 |
| seb128 | without starting documenting how teams are working | 08:24 |
| seb128 | 08:24 | |
| apokryphos | <frafu> QUESTION: What is backporting? Bringing applications that are not part of ubuntu into ubuntu? | 08:24 |
| === dmXE [n=ahmet@88.241.107.230] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | backporting is taking something new and bringing it where you want | 08:25 |
| seb128 | not sure if that's clear | 08:25 |
| seb128 | the backport team takes packages from feisty and build them on edgy by example | 08:25 |
| seb128 | new version of software | 08:25 |
| apokryphos | frafu: generally it's done when an ubuntu release has an older version of a popular package, such as, say, firefox | 08:25 |
| seb128 | like they will likely build gaim 2.0 and build it on edgy | 08:25 |
| seb128 | so you will get a backport of that new version of gaim for edgy | 08:26 |
| seb128 | we "backport" patches too | 08:26 |
| seb128 | which means take fix from a new version | 08:26 |
| seb128 | and apply them to the previous one to fix the issue | 08:26 |
| seb128 | s/the issue/an issue | 08:26 |
| seb128 | 08:26 | |
| === apral [n=pnewm@cor4-ppp4904.bri.dsl.connect.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| apokryphos | <meduxa> QUESTION: do you guys have plans on releasing a live DVD with both Ubuntu and Kubuntu | 08:26 |
| seb128 | not that I know | 08:27 |
| seb128 | but if somebody wants to work on that as project that should be doable | 08:27 |
| apokryphos | <samgee> QUESTION: how can I look for upstreams that haven't been adopted yet? | 08:27 |
| seb128 | maybe that could be a spec for next cycle ;) | 08:27 |
| seb128 | 08:27 | |
| seb128 | samgee: that is a good question | 08:27 |
| === andresmujica [n=andresmu@201.244.196.229] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| seb128 | we discussed monday on the first Desktop session about having an "ambassador" noted on launchpad for a package | 08:28 |
| seb128 | that is not done yet | 08:28 |
| seb128 | at the moment the best is probably to look at the changelog to know who has worked on the package | 08:28 |
| seb128 | and to ask him | 08:28 |
| seb128 | usually people working on a package should know about that | 08:29 |
| === Adri2000 [n=Adri2000@unaffiliated/adri2000] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| apokryphos | Any other questions? | 08:29 |
| seb128 | if they don't there is probably nobody doing that job for the package at the moment | 08:29 |
| apokryphos | <amnesia> QUESTION: how's telepathy at the moment | 08:30 |
| apokryphos | <amnesia> and the integration :) | 08:30 |
| seb128 | dholbach? ;) | 08:30 |
| amnesia | :) | 08:30 |
| seb128 | I would say than dholbach and the telepathy do a rocking job | 08:30 |
| seb128 | we probably have most of it packaged for edgy | 08:30 |
| dholbach | amnesia: as clients we have gossip-telepathy and cohoba in feisty | 08:30 |
| dholbach | gossip-telepathy works quite well at the moment and gabble (jabber) and butterfly (msn) support are good enough to use | 08:31 |
| seb128 | telepathy -> telepathy-team | 08:31 |
| amnesia | ah ok, you just mentioned telepathy in the beginnning...will ask them then | 08:31 |
| dholbach | the upstream developers are working like mad and audio conferencing is said to work quite good as well (I never got around to test it yet) | 08:31 |
| dholbach | (farsight is doing that part) | 08:31 |
| === sox [n=luca@host-84-220-10-170.cust-adsl.tiscali.it] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| amnesia | ok will drop by then for a little testing/helping | 08:32 |
| seb128 | that's a good example of how people interested in a particular topic can group together and create a team | 08:32 |
| seb128 | team are goods too :) | 08:32 |
| apokryphos | <Bourlotieris> QUESTION: Your top priorities for Feisty - any details about how Beryl will be implemented in it (by default)? | 08:32 |
| dholbach | sudo apt-get install telepathy-gnome in feisty should provide you with all that's needed | 08:32 |
| amnesia | dholbach: cool thanks | 08:32 |
| seb128 | top priorities? | 08:32 |
| seb128 | GNOME 2.18 | 08:33 |
| seb128 | compiz or beryl (not decided yet which one) | 08:33 |
| === AdmoIRC [n=Miranda@CPE-65-27-25-141.kc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| seb128 | an app to replace disks-admin would be welcome too | 08:33 |

| amnesia | beagle or tracker | 08:34 |
| seb128 | I would like to get one yep | 08:34 |
| amnesia | great! | 08:34 |
| seb128 | we will likely have tracker to universe soon | 08:34 |
| seb128 | maybe next week | 08:34 |
| dholbach | . o O { I would like to get a pony } | 08:34 |
| seb128 | I've contacted upstream this week about that | 08:34 |
| === abattoir [n=abattoir@cm57.omega18.maxonline.com.sg] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| seb128 | no | 08:36 |
| seb128 | does it need improvement? ;) | 08:36 |

| amnesia | mac-style? | 08:36 |
| seb128 | we have gnome-main-menu (aka slab), the menu from novell packaged | 08:36 |
| seb128 | and we will likely have it on the CD for feisty, but not as default one | 08:36 |
| apokryphos | meduxa: any specific thoughts? | 08:36 |
| seb128 | maybe with a panel profile switcher app (one as been worked during SoC2006) | 08:37 |
| seb128 | which would allow to pick a standard linux layout or a windows like one | 08:37 |
| meduxa | freedesktop rules are difficult to understand for customice the menu so | 08:37 |
| seb128 | it's on my list of things I would like to get for feisty, it'll depend on how busy I'll be though | 08:37 |
| seb128 | contributions are welcome ;) | 08:37 |
| bhale | meduxa: that is why we have alacarte | 08:37 |

| bhale | or whatever it is called now, simple menu editor | 08:38 |
| meduxa | graphical interfaces for customicing are the only good choice for users | 08:38 |
| seb128 | meduxa: alacarte (menu editor) should "just work", no? | 08:38 |
| meduxa | yes | 08:38 |
| apokryphos | <alp> QUESTION: There are a bunch of D-Bus APIs that have been showing up, some of varying quality, and D-Bus lacks a versioning scheme (no sonames etc.). i've noticed already that supporting different API revisions is causing trouble for applications. is there a game plan for bus API versioning? | 08:38 |
| meduxa | it does, the point is if you have alacarte stopeed from improvements or you are developing more features for it | 08:39 |
| seb128 | alp: dbus is 1.0 now | 08:39 |
| seb128 | API is stable and will not change any time soon | 08:39 |
| meduxa | thks | 08:39 |
| alp | (am talking about the APIs themselves, not the library implementation) | 08:39 |
| seb128 | meduxa: we are not working on it atm, if you have suggestion feel free to open feature request or mail the desktop list about them | 08:40 |
| seb128 | alp: we don't plan to do any distribution specific work on that at the moment no | 08:40 |

| seb128 | dunno about KDE | 08:42 |
| seb128 | anybody from the kubuntu team around? | 08:42 |
| apokryphos | andresmujica: I completely agree. It looks like Kubuntu might be adopting the kickoff menu for feisty | 08:42 |
| apokryphos | ubotu: kickoff | 08:42 |
| ubotu | kickoff is a new KDE menu developed by SUSE. It organises items differently, has an integrated Beagle search, and been put through extensive usability testing in the Novell usability lab. See http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2283 | 08:42 |

| seb128 | how actively they are maintained | 08:46 |

| LaserJock | Hello everybody!My name is Jordan Mantha and I'm a PhD Chemistry student and Ubuntu volunteer. | 09:02 |
| LaserJock | In Ubuntu I'm a Universe developer, a part of the Documentation Team, on the Edubuntu Council, and am just generally an Ubuntu-holic. | 09:02 |
| LaserJock | Today I want to talk a little about what how we maintain software once it's already in our software repositories (Main, Restricted, Universe, Multiverse) | 09:02 |
| ailean | nice to meet you - you a scot? | 09:02 |
| LaserJock | me? now | 09:02 |
| LaserJock | just your typical mutt American | 09:03 |
| ailean | sorry, continue :) | 09:03 |
| LaserJock | so far during the Open Week we've had talks on how to package | 09:03 |
| LaserJock | how to patch packages | 09:03 |
| LaserJock | etc. | 09:03 |
| LaserJock | so I'm not really going to cover that so much | 09:04 |
| LaserJock | I think there are 3 things that are important to keep in mind here: | 09:04 |
| LaserJock | 1. Ubuntu is intimately connected to Debian | 09:04 |
| LaserJock | 3. Ubuntu relies on thousands of "upstreams" | 09:04 |
| LaserJock | 2. Ubuntu uses Launchpad ( http://launchpad.net ) for virtually all package maintenance | 09:04 |
| === nevchen [n=nevchen@195.50.160.210] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | Ubuntu is a Linux distro | 09:05 |
| LaserJock | which among other things, means it usually doesn't write it's own software | 09:05 |
| LaserJock | but instead collects other people's software (upstreams) and "glues" them together and makes sure they work right | 09:05 |
| === abknicker [n=baumi@e179198021.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | so lets look at the 3 things I've outlined above in a little more detail | 09:06 |
| LaserJock | 1. Ubuntu is intimately connected to Debian | 09:06 |
| === philwyett [n=philwyet@bb-87-81-146-45.ukonline.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | Ubuntu is a Debian-based distro | 09:06 |
| LaserJock | that's probably not surprising to anybody | 09:06 |
| LaserJock | but we don't fork Debian | 09:07 |

| metres | hi guys, Im trying a recompilation of my kernel, but I have problem..., I just installed Edgy on my amd64, I downloaded the source linux-2.6.19 from kernel.org, unpack it, but when I try make xconfig, I got this response : "make[1] : *** Pas de rgle pour fabriquer la cible scripts/kconfig/.tmp_qtcheck , ncessaire pour scripts/kconfig/qconf.o .

| === rmjb [n=ircont9k@cpe-024-088-009-063.sc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| rulus | metres: #ubuntu please | 09:08 |
| LaserJock | metres: #ubuntu is a better place to go | 09:08 |
| metres | thanks I'LL try this | 09:08 |
| === lumpki [n=lumpki@AC85522B.ipt.aol.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | ok, so the question is how do we keep track of what we've changed and what's straigh from Debian | 09:09 |
| === metres [n=metres@bas7-montreal02-1096626684.dsl.bell.ca] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Konversation] | ||
| LaserJock | to differentiate we use a particular versioning scheme | 09:09 |
| LaserJock | any source package that has been changed or modified in any way will give a ubuntuX version put on the end | 09:09 |
| LaserJock | where X starts at 1 and just increments with each upload we make that keeps the same base Debian version | 09:10 |
| LaserJock | so when we go through our merging/syncing phase at the beginning of the cycle we determine which packages were changed in the previous version | 09:10 |
| === apral [n=pnewm@cor4-ppp4904.bri.dsl.connect.net.au] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["back] | ||
| LaserJock | and if they weren't changed, we just sync the Debian package straight over | 09:11 |
| === apral [n=pnewm@cor4-ppp4904.bri.dsl.connect.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === abattoir [n=abattoir@cm57.omega18.maxonline.com.sg] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | however, if there was a change a handy script called Merge-o-Matic (MoM) will attempt to merge the package in a semi automated way | 09:11 |
| === mode/#ubuntu-classroom [+o LaserJock] by ChanServ | ||
| LaserJock | the thing to note here is that *every* package that had a previous Ubuntu change has to be manually checked before it is either synced (if Debian picked up our changes and we don't need them anymore) or merged (we still need them) | 09:12 |
| LaserJock | so just to see the scale we are taking about here are some stats for edgy: | 09:13 |
| LaserJock | In the Main repo there are a total of 5382 source package | 09:13 |
| LaserJock | 978 of them have ubuntuX versions and have to be manually checked | 09:14 |
| LaserJock | in Universe there are 18656 source packages | 09:14 |
| LaserJock | 1250 of them have ubuntuX versions | 09:14 |
| LaserJock | so that's over 2000 packages that have to be manually checked, merged, built, and tested before being uploaded | 09:15 |
| LaserJock | we have probably around 100 people doing this work | 09:15 |
| === tiagoboldt [n=tiagobol@87-196-27-167.net.novis.pt] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | around 80% are volunteer community members | 09:15 |
| LaserJock | ok, let's take a question break | 09:16 |
| bhale | < rmjb> QUESTION: If every package with an Ubuntu change needs to be manually checked, what does MoM do? | 09:16 |
| LaserJock | MoM can make the process easier | 09:16 |
| LaserJock | what you are looking for in a merge is what Ubuntu changes exist | 09:16 |
| LaserJock | and why they are there | 09:17 |
| === nevchen [n=nevchen@195.50.160.210] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Verlassend"] | ||
| LaserJock | so you have to look at the difference between the Ubuntu package and the Debian package it was based on | 09:17 |
| === mode/#ubuntu-classroom [+v bhale] by ChanServ | ||
| LaserJock | you also have to look at what has changed since then in Ubuntu | 09:17 |
| LaserJock | sorry Debian rather | 09:17 |
| bhale | < andresmujica> QUESTION: Does it means that Debian takes changes made here at ubuntu for their own packages??? | 09:18 |
| LaserJock | and then go back and make sure you only add in the Ubuntu changes to the new Debian version | 09:18 |
| bhale | (sorry, questioner left) | 09:18 |
| LaserJock | yes, that is correct | 09:18 |
| === rmjb [n=ircont9k@cpe-024-088-009-063.sc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | we send all the differences we make to Debian | 09:18 |
| bhale | as an example, Debian and Ubuntu mono teams share many members, and changes flow in 2 directions | 09:18 |
| LaserJock | and the Debian maintainers are free to take our changes | 09:19 |
| LaserJock | bhale: exactly | 09:19 |
| bhale | patches are posted here in an automated fashion as well: | 09:19 |

| bhale | < ailean> QUESTION: can you point us in the direction of some tutorials? | 09:20 |
| LaserJock | yes | 09:20 |
| LaserJock | there is an Ubuntu Packaging Guide | 09:20 |
| LaserJock | it is shipped in both the Ubuntu and Kubuntu help systems | 09:20 |
| apokryphos | ubotu: packaging | 09:21 |
| ubotu | The packaging guide is at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources | 09:21 |
| LaserJock | and can also be found on help.ubuntu.com | 09:21 |

| LaserJock | yeah ^^ | 09:21 |
| bhale | we have two more and I hope we can get going again | 09:21 |
| bhale | < urbnsr> QUESTION: Are there packages that start for ubuntu only or do all packages have to come via Debian? | 09:21 |
| LaserJock | also check out the Debian documentation at www.debian.org/devel/ | 09:21 |
| LaserJock | yes, some packages start in Ubuntu | 09:21 |
| bhale | no, Ubuntu can get new packages, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/REVU for submitting new ones | 09:21 |
| LaserJock | some start completely elsewhere | 09:21 |
| bhale | last question. | 09:21 |
| LaserJock | the vast majority come from Debian though | 09:22 |
| === Buh [n=Buh@m61.net81-65-108.noos.fr] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| bhale | < andresmujica> QUESTION: It seems that there' s some work duplicated at several levels, package creator, debian, and ubuntu.. any proposal or way to improve this? or is defacto way? | 09:22 |
| LaserJock | well, in essence what we try to do in Ubuntu is take what Debian maintainers do and add on top of it | 09:22 |
| LaserJock | not repeat it | 09:22 |
| LaserJock | so if there's a bug that Debian should know about we forward it | 09:22 |
| === ulinskie [n=yolynne@202.57.93.93] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | if we patch something that is useful for Debian we try to get it to them | 09:23 |
| LaserJock | so the idea is we are enhancing rather then duplicating Debian's work | 09:23 |

| LaserJock | there are efforts like utnubu (ubuntu backwords) | 09:24 |
| LaserJock | to help make sure Ubuntu changes get back into Debian | 09:24 |
| === Webspot [n=andrew@5ac5e224.bb.sky.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | but mostly just good communication | 09:24 |
| LaserJock | bhale: done? | 09:24 |
| bhale | LaserJock: yes, sorry. | 09:24 |
| LaserJock | OK, so the second item: Ubuntu relies on thousands of "upstreams" | 09:24 |
| LaserJock | so Debian is our first upstream most of the time | 09:25 |
| LaserJock | but they have upstreams too | 09:25 |
| LaserJock | the original software authors | 09:25 |
| LaserJock | and if we want our work to help the maximum number of people we need to get our changes to them | 09:26 |
| LaserJock | also, as software develops, it doesn't do so on the same time line | 09:26 |
| LaserJock | so we have to be aware of thousands of different projects all releasing at different times | 09:26 |
| LaserJock | and we have to work to make sure we can produce the most stable and usable distro we can | 09:27 |
| LaserJock | that really leads to my 3 point: Ubuntu uses Launchpad ( http://launchpad.net ) for virtually all package maintenance | 09:27 |
| LaserJock | Launchpad is essentally a very large distro managment web app | 09:28 |
| LaserJock | developed by Canonical (the Ubuntu sponsor company) | 09:28 |
| LaserJock | and it includes a bug tracker (Malone), specification tracker, translation system, support tracker, etc. | 09:29 |
| LaserJock | it also houses our archive maintainence and build structure | 09:29 |
| LaserJock | Launchpad can sometimes be a bit confusing to use when you first get started with it | 09:30 |
| LaserJock | so here's my #1 tip, learn how Launchpad uses URLs | 09:30 |
| === |ganja| [n=kvirc@hnv9-d9bef2b8.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | so you can "build" your own URL to go where you want | 09:30 |
| LaserJock | it makes finding things pretty easy | 09:31 |
| LaserJock | For instance, if you want to know about a particular source package use: | 09:31 |
| LaserJock | http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/<packagename> | 09:31 |
| LaserJock | If you want to see all the bugs for a package just add on +bugs: | 09:31 |
| LaserJock | http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/<packagename>/+bugs | 09:31 |
| LaserJock | Parts of the URL with the + in front are important, they are like modifiers to the thing that goes before it. In this case we want to see bugs for <packagename> | 09:31 |
| === SimonAnibal-away [n=sruiz@66.244.123.100] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | now one of the things that makes Launchpad good for package maintainance and communication with upstream is you can link to other bug trackers | 09:32 |
| === co-NP [n=conp@pool-01689.externet.hu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | for instance, right now, Launchpad can link and track bugs in Debian, Gnome, KDE, Mozilla to I believe | 09:32 |
| LaserJock | so if somebody files a bug in Launchpad for Ubuntu | 09:33 |
| LaserJock | and I see that Debian has reported the same bug | 09:33 |
| LaserJock | I can link to that one and watch it's progress | 09:33 |
| LaserJock | and be notified when it's been fixed so that I can make sure to get those fixes | 09:33 |
| LaserJock | bhale: ok, lets take some more questions | 09:34 |
| bhale | cool. | 09:34 |
| === emonkey-p [n=emonkey@static-pro-212-101-27-121.adsl.solnet.ch] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| bhale | this one is kind of off the wall but you can handle it | 09:34 |
| bhale | < proppy> QUESTION: sometimes when we package for multi distribution and there is different dependencies, we supply multi control files for each distribution (for example control.dapper which differ from control.sarge), i believe this is not the correct way to do it? | 09:34 |
| LaserJock | I love off the wall questions :-) | 09:34 |
| bhale | I know :) | 09:35 |
| === proppy hugs LaserJock | ||
| bhale | (now might be a good time to mention bzr!) | 09:35 |
| LaserJock | proppy: really what we'd rather see is that difference in versioning and in a revision control | 09:35 |
| LaserJock | another project that Canonical is supporting is the bazaar revision control system | 09:36 |
| LaserJock | Launchpad now supports bazaar | 09:36 |
| LaserJock | so that each Launchpad user can keep different "branches" of what they are working on | 09:36 |
| LaserJock | you can even use a Launchpad team to control access | 09:36 |
| LaserJock | so rather then individual control files | 09:37 |
| === co-NP [n=conp@pool-0202e.externet.hu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | I'd rather see a dapper branch or a sarge branch on bazaar.launchpad.net | 09:37 |
| === Webspot [n=andrew@5ac5e224.bb.sky.com] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| LaserJock | proppy: hopefully that answers your question a bit | 09:37 |
| bhale | another choice for cooperating with debian developers is svn for your team on alioth.debian.org and make branches off of the trunk | 09:37 |

| bhale | < andresmujica> QUESTION: About upstream bug trackers, should i search for a similar bug or report a knew one pointing to the bug reported.. | 09:38 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: yes, it is | 09:38 |
| LaserJock | well, it doesn't really hurt anything to file the bug in Ubuntu | 09:38 |
| LaserJock | if you also report it in the upstream bug tracker it's nice to link to that in the Ubuntu bug report on Launchpad | 09:39 |
| LaserJock | so we can keep track | 09:39 |
| LaserJock | but yeah, always searching for an existing report of your bug is good | 09:39 |

| LaserJock | ok, that's a basic overview of what maintaining a package in Ubuntu involves | 09:41 |

| === co-NP [n=conp@pool-0188f.externet.hu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | so I'd like to open it up for any general package maintainance questions | 09:41 |
| maniacmusician | <proppy> QUESTION: Given that i know which dependencies differs from the debian packages, is there a way to provide theses information *in* the debian packages, to they get applied when synced from the unstable repository ? | 09:42 |
| bhale | you can make a file called control.in | 09:42 |
| LaserJock | so you want to make it so Ubuntu can sync even though there are some slight dependency differences | 09:42 |
| LaserJock | ? | 09:42 |
| bhale | that dynamically builds a control file, similar to auto* | 09:42 |
| proppy | nice | 09:43 |
| bhale | check the Debian Developers Guide for that | 09:43 |
| proppy | we have access to debian unstable repository | 09:43 |
| === gnrfan [n=gnrfan@201.230.224.223] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| proppy | and locally compile and package for ubuntu | 09:43 |
| proppy | so i want to make the sync process smooth | 09:43 |
| LaserJock | proppy: in essence then maintaining it in Ubuntu would be filing a bug report with a debdiff, worst case | 09:44 |
| bhale | if you are actively maintaining the package in Debian and want to make Ubuntu changes, you can contribute them to the archive via a MOTU | 09:44 |
| bhale | (or becoming one yourself) | 09:44 |

| bhale | they can answer any of your questions, capable folks! | 09:44 |
| bhale | < rmjb> QUESTION: how important is the maintainter's relationship with the upstream developer? Do you need their permission before packaging thier software for Ubuntu? | 09:44 |
| LaserJock | interesting question | 09:45 |
| bhale | you don't need their permission of course, we deal in freely distributable software | 09:45 |
| === async [n=async@203-97-71-181.dsl.clear.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| bhale | it is my opinion that the realtionship in general is very important | 09:45 |
| LaserJock | If it's free software then you don't *have* to get there permission | 09:45 |
| LaserJock | but it's rather bad form to go putting somebodies work in a distro that will go to a few million people and not tell them :-) | 09:46 |
| === psyVogt [n=psyVogt@201-27-199-239.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | in my experience though upstreams are pretty excited to get their work in a distro | 09:46 |
| rmjb | I guess the least you can do it try to inform them | 09:46 |
| LaserJock | and usually will work with you pretty well | 09:46 |
| bhale | it would be polite to do so | 09:46 |
| LaserJock | I maintain 2 packages in Debian | 09:46 |
| LaserJock | and I talk with both of the upstreams fairly often | 09:46 |

| LaserJock | well, the answer is, not quite yet | 09:48 |
| LaserJock | I know that Canonical is working on building personal package archives into Launchpad | 09:48 |
| LaserJock | that will allow anybody to upload and build packages in the own personal repo space | 09:48 |
| LaserJock | but that doesn't exist right now | 09:49 |

| cbx33 | wow | 09:49 |
| bhale | at this time what you want is pbuilder | 09:49 |
| bhale | docs on the wiki | 09:49 |
| LaserJock | however, getting your package into Ubuntu does have that advantage of building your package on all the supported apps | 09:49 |
| cbx33 | pbuilder rocks | 09:49 |
| LaserJock | *arch rather | 09:49 |
| === Raffo [n=rmantill@200.60.67.173] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| bhale | alright, one more. | 09:50 |

| === coNP_ [n=conp@pool-01d33.externet.hu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | well, of course you can read up on autotools stuff | 09:50 |
| LaserJock | but in essence you don't really need to know all the details to package | 09:50 |
| LaserJock | but the more knowledge you have the better off you'll be | 09:50 |

| LaserJock | but it's not uncommon for programs to not use make at all | 09:51 |
| LaserJock | for instance a lot of python packages use distutils | 09:51 |
| LaserJock | etc. | 09:51 |
| bhale | < LjL> QUESTION: Would that, once it exists, also allow building packages without actually having all the required -dev dependencies installed on the local machine, and/or setting up a chroot environment, and similar relatively onerous undertakings? | 09:51 |

| LaserJock | LjL: indeed it would | 09:52 |
| bhale | IMO the build service is not meant for testing the build of your package | 09:52 |
| LaserJock | although it would be much better to test your packages before hand | 09:52 |
| bhale | but building and publishing a 'canonical' copy once youve done the work | 09:52 |
| LaserJock | bhale: right | 09:52 |
| bhale | < somerville32> QUESTION: Can you compare and constrast Stable Update Releases and Backports? | 09:53 |
| bhale | good question. | 09:53 |
| LaserJock | LjL: we are getting pbuilder docs better and better so hopefully it will be less onerous | 09:53 |
| bhale | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 09:53 |
| LaserJock | yes, good question | 09:53 |
| LjL | LaserJock: that's nice to know, thanks | 09:54 |
| bhale | STU refers to $distr-updates, critical bug fixes | 09:54 |
| bhale | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 09:54 |
| LaserJock | Stable Release Updates are for very important bug fixes to existing versions | 09:54 |
| bhale | ugh | 09:54 |
| bhale | Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a security vulnerability | 09:54 |
| bhale | Bugs which represent severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu | 09:54 |
| bhale | Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a loss of user data | 09:54 |
| bhale | these are the only conditions for SRU | 09:54 |
| LaserJock | Backports on the other hand are focused on getting the latest version of a package | 09:54 |

| LaserJock | somerville32: that is up to the people approving updates, but generally you know a severe bug when you see it | 09:57 |

| kiko | hello everyone, and welcome to the second installment of the launchpad overview as part of UbuntuOpenDay | 10:01 |
| kiko | I'm happy to have had a great first session with a number of difficult questions | 10:01 |
| kiko | I've posted answers to those questions to launchpad-users, our very exclusive mailing list! | 10:01 |
| === amnesia [n=amnesia@p549DDB31.dip.t-dialin.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Leaving"] | ||
| kiko | I've linked to the archives from the UbuntuOpenDay subpage for my talk, so if you were curious about any one which wasn't answered, just look there | 10:02 |
| kiko | I'm also going to tabulate them as faq entries | 10:02 |
| kiko | so they should be useful for a wider audience. | 10:02 |
| kiko | in the first section I covered Launchpad in general and then bug tracking, translating and the answer tracker in Launchpad. | 10:02 |
| kiko | I'll redo a quick overview today, and then talk about the remaining two applications: the blueprint tracker, and the bazaar branch hosting, import and introspection service | 10:03 |

| === b4ck3r [n=cbarbosa@200.80.164.57] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| kiko | for instance, Launchpad's bug tracker allows a single bug to be tracked in various different distributions, and in one or more upstream projects | 10:05 |
| kiko | this theoretically allows Ubuntu, Debian and Redhat to all use the same bugtracker to track the status of a fix in, say, upstream Linux kernel, and in other distributions. | 10:06 |
| kiko | the more projects using Launchpad, the better that collaboration aspect gets | 10:06 |
| kiko | another example of where cross-project collaboration is easier in Launchpad is with translations: translations for strings used in a project are offered as potential suggestions in other contexts where the same translatable string occurs | 10:07 |
| kiko | the context's translation review team can verify and decide whether the string is relevant or not. | 10:07 |
| kiko | if we are making comparisons, one of Tuesday's questions asked: is Launchpad similar to Sourceforge? | 10:08 |
| === kh [n=kh@kone3.khdrive.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | in some ways we are, and in some we aren't. we are similar in the sense that we do offer online services that you /should/ use for /your/ project | 10:08 |
| kiko | bug tracking -- community support -- translations -- specification tracking -- code hosting | 10:08 |
| kiko | in others, we are not so much: we don't offer mailing lists or web content hosting. | 10:09 |
| kiko | so there's some unique aspects to both Sourceforge and Launchpad. | 10:09 |
| === subzero__ [n=chris@farwell-resnet-NAT-6.luther.edu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | so that's an overview of the web application, and I'll move on to some more specific examples inside two applications -- the specification tracker, and the code hosting service. | 10:09 |
| kiko | be sure to ask questions about other applications if you missed tuesday's Q&A, or if you are still curious -- I'm happy to help out! | 10:10 |
| kiko | XXX The specification tracker: blueprints.launchpad.net XXX | 10:10 |
| === stapel [n=stapel@86.111.172.220] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | One of Launchpad's applications is a specification, or 'blueprint' tracker. | 10:10 |
| kiko | a specification is a general term used in software engineering that is essentially a document that describes something | 10:11 |
| === stapel [n=stapel@86.111.172.220] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| kiko | moving from very vague to more specific, a specification usually will describe a change to existing software, a new feature to be implemented, a modification in an existing design, or a process that a team should follow | 10:11 |
| kiko | we use specifications a /lot/ in Launchpad and in Ubuntu | 10:12 |
| === Yawner [n=alex@82-44-194-226.cable.ubr07.haye.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | people that were at the Australian conference last year (UDU) can remember all the specs and post-its on the wall! | 10:12 |
| kiko | specifications are a great way of capturing history and rationale of your project | 10:12 |
| kiko | they help answer questions like "how exactly is that supposed to be implemented" | 10:13 |
| kiko | and also "why the hell did we decide to use a cronscript and not a trigger?!" | 10:13 |
| === ompaul [n=ompaul@gnewsense/friend/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | launchpad offers a specification tracker which is something of a unique service | 10:13 |
| kiko | the spec tracker essentially allows us to capture metadata related to a textual document | 10:13 |
| kiko | it's important to point out that the document is not actually hosted in launchpad | 10:14 |
| kiko | you can use any wiki (or other text document hosting -- even flat ascii via apache) | 10:14 |
| kiko | launchpad just stores metadata | 10:14 |
| === mihakriket [n=mihakrik@68-235-112-223.kntnny.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | this metadata allows you to track who is working on the document, who's doing the implementation, who's ok'd the document, and in what status the doc and the implementation are. | 10:15 |
| kiko | let's look at a live example to see what I'm talking about. | 10:15 |
| === mihakriket [n=mihakrik@68-235-112-223.kntnny.adelphia.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| kiko | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu | 10:15 |
| kiko | this is the listing of specifications for Ubuntu | 10:15 |
| kiko | you'll see that the listing is ordered by priority (meaning that somebody in project management has made an explicit decision as to what is more important) | 10:16 |
| === napo [n=napo@pD9506782.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | and that the spefication has a name and two statuses | 10:16 |
| kiko | the "definition" status describes the state of the document itself | 10:16 |
| === mruiz [n=mruiz@200.113.173.157] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | the "delivery" status describes the status of the feature | 10:16 |
| kiko | in the example Ubuntu URL | 10:16 |
| kiko | you'll see that Tollef is assigned to the top essential priority specification -- network-roaming. | 10:17 |
| kiko | let's take a closer look at that specification so you can see the metadata for yourself! | 10:17 |
| === cavalierwisk [n=eric@74.132.207.60] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/network-roaming | 10:17 |
| kiko | first, you'll see on the right-hand side of the page a set of attributes related to the specification | 10:18 |
| kiko | and that in this case the implementation of the spec has not even started yet! | 10:18 |
| kiko | the specification itself is approved, and it's been accepted for feisty, so tollef should get busy soon to get it in <wink> | 10:18 |
| kiko | there's a dependency tree in the page content | 10:19 |
| kiko | when a spec depends on another, it is rendered graphically | 10:19 |
| kiko | (this feature was incidentally a gift from sabdfl himself) | 10:19 |
| === kh [n=kh@kone3.khdrive.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | so in this case, Kubuntu only gets networking if tollef manages to deliver network-roaming in time | 10:19 |
| kiko | the specification tracker is pretty simple to use | 10:20 |
| kiko | you can see how to register new specs and edit it using our staging server.. if I can get a working URL to it ;-) | 10:20 |
| kiko | the staging server is a box which holds an exact copy of the production database | 10:21 |
| kiko | but which allows changing data without concern -- the database is wiped and restored nightly | 10:21 |
| kiko | To add a new spec to Ubuntu on staging, use https://staging.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+addspec | 10:21 |
| kiko | you'll see that it allows you to capture metadata, in particular a specification URL | 10:22 |
| kiko | that URL is the only link to the document -- which is why I pointed out it could be pretty much anything hosted anywhere. | 10:22 |
| kiko | the specification tracker has a number of features that are not immediately apparent | 10:23 |
| kiko | for instance, the dependency graph and prioritization allow a suggested to be automatically built from your specifications; the roadmap for ubuntu is at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+roadmap | 10:23 |
| kiko | the spec tracker also includes support for managing team sprints | 10:24 |
| kiko | where the sprints are essentially activities where people develop the specifications that will be implemented | 10:24 |
| kiko | (in Canonical, we essentially use sprints to capture specifications because we have little face-time together, being a distributed company, and capturing discussions and ideas in documents is a great way to record this historically) | 10:25 |
| kiko | to see sprints at the latest developer summit for Ubuntu, for instance: | 10:25 |
| kiko | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-mtv | 10:25 |
| === ulinskie [n=yolynne@202.57.93.93] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| kiko | err -- I meant specs at the latest summit. blame hunger! | 10:26 |
| kiko | anyway, you can see there the overview of specs discussed there. | 10:26 |
| kiko | you can use the sprint feature to manage your own sprints, and we can even get you nicely formatted schedules that ensure that all the discussions you want to have occur | 10:27 |
| kiko | that's a whirlwind view of the Launchpad blueprints application, and feel free to ask away if there are bits I was unclear about or omitted | 10:27 |
| kiko | let's move on to my favorite app! | 10:27 |
| bhale | there are some off topic questions about LP | 10:28 |
| kiko | XXX Launchpad code XXX | 10:28 |
| kiko | yeah, I can see them | 10:28 |
| kiko | okay, let's be cool and answer them! | 10:28 |
| kiko | <vyoman> are we supposed to login into the staging server? | 10:28 |
| === weebit [n=unknown@216.96.40.142] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | yes. the staging server is an exact replica of the production server -- so much that you should log in to it to actually change it. your launchpad credentials will be the same as on production. | 10:28 |
| vyoman | the _addspec is asking for a login <s> | 10:28 |
| kiko | right -- just use your launchpad account. | 10:29 |
| kiko | <mruiz> QUESTION: hello kiko, I'm the ubuntu-cl team admin; when mass email will be enabled? (to contact all team members and coordinate) | 10:29 |
| kiko | so this is a question about a feature in which Launchpad teams would have an externally visible email address | 10:29 |
| kiko | currently, Launchpad teams are used to organize people into arbitrary groups | 10:29 |
| === noxs [n=noxs@dslb-084-057-244-036.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | Launchpad can email these groups directly, and you've seen this in action for instance in bugs, where team subscribers all get notified of bug changes. | 10:30 |
| kiko | there is currently, however, no way to externally email a team | 10:30 |
| mruiz | kiko: but many LoCo Teams use LP, and sign as teams. | 10:30 |
| kiko | right. | 10:31 |
| kiko | so mruiz for instance would like to be able to contact his team through a specified email address and have the message relayed to the team members. | 10:31 |
| kiko | we have a plan for this feature but it hasn't been a priority as of now | 10:31 |
| mruiz | ok, thanks | 10:31 |
| kiko | I've written down your request to bump this one up | 10:31 |
| kiko | (and I encourage other people that want features implemented to please let me know so I can take your requests into account when deciding what needs to be done next!) | 10:32 |
| kiko | all right | 10:32 |
| kiko | back on track now: | 10:32 |
| kiko | XXX Launchpad code XXX | 10:32 |
| === abattoir [n=abattoir@cm57.omega18.maxonline.com.sg] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | so some of you may be familiar with the most amazing VCS that has been under development for the past 2 years | 10:33 |
| kiko | that's Bazaar (bazaar-vcs.org) in case you were wondering! | 10:33 |
| kiko | bazaar is a decentralized (ddaa beat me until I agreed to say that) revision control system | 10:33 |
| kiko | so it has a similar pattern of working to git, darcs, arch, monotone, mercurial and (should I say it?) bitkeeper! | 10:34 |
| === parixa [n=hitesh@p54B04B4B.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | in particular, each developer has his own tree with history and is able to do commits to his local tree and see changes without needing to hit a central server | 10:34 |
| kiko | in this model, developers usually move code between each other and onto a specific branch which is maintained as a mainline | 10:35 |
| kiko | that's the 5000km view of decentralized RCS | 10:35 |
| kiko | Bazaar is an interesting new VCS, designed to be very simple, usable and fast | 10:36 |
| kiko | it's written in Python and #bzr is the place to go to learn more about the tool itself | 10:36 |
| kiko | <bhale> QUESTION: does every developer run his own database and or web server? | 10:36 |
| kiko | <bhale> or the server config is dynamic enough to handle arbitrary branching | 10:36 |
| kiko | bhale, you tricked me into an offtopic question! | 10:36 |
| bhale | :P | 10:36 |
| kiko | I'll answer it anyway. | 10:36 |
| === brian_ [n=bmcandre@69.214.111.115] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | each launchpad developer runs his own database and web server | 10:37 |
| kiko | I'm not sure what you meant about arbitrary branching, bhale | 10:37 |
| kiko | but it's impractical to depend on a central server if you're for instance developing offline | 10:37 |
| bhale | I will explain to you offline, it is unimportant to the discussion at hand | 10:38 |
| kiko | it also places a lot of stress on that server because everybody at some point wants to hit the database to fetch a list of whatnot | 10:38 |
| kiko | sure. | 10:38 |
| kiko | so coming back to Bazaar | 10:38 |
| kiko | Launchpad is a great match for Bazaar in a number of ways | 10:38 |
| kiko | and I'll try enumerating some of the ways that I find most interesting and useful | 10:39 |
| kiko | first, Launchpad offers you a free Bazaar branch hosting service | 10:39 |
| kiko | anyone with a Launchpad account can push their branches onto the Launchpad supermirror | 10:39 |
| kiko | the supermirror is essentially an open, global code repository | 10:40 |
| kiko | let me dig out a tutorial so you can read more about this | 10:40 |
| kiko | http://ddaa.net/blog/launchpad/bzr-hosting | 10:40 |
| kiko | there you go | 10:40 |
| kiko | essentially, if you use bzr, you can host your project's sourcecode on Launchpad | 10:41 |
| kiko | and have your developers collaborate on that code. | 10:41 |
| kiko | you can even have shared branches, to which all of your team can commit: | 10:41 |
| kiko | http://blogs.gnome.org/view/jamesh/2006/08/17/1 | 10:41 |
| kiko | jamesh tells us all about that (and western australia) in his blog entry | 10:41 |
| kiko | the supermirror is a great service, and I expect a lot of projects to host their main lines off it | 10:42 |
| kiko | there's no setup cost, and anyone can bzr branch it trivially. | 10:43 |
| kiko | okay | 10:43 |
| kiko | a second good example of Launchpad supporting bazaar | 10:43 |
| === miskas [n=miskas@85.206.162.106] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | is in the VCS imports service | 10:43 |
| === metatecque [n=lee@adsl-69-231-241-46.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | what are VCS imports? | 10:43 |
| kiko | essentially, I wish everybody in the world used Bazaar | 10:44 |
| kiko | unfortunately, there are historical reasons why this isn't the case YET | 10:44 |
| === ompaul [n=ompaul@gnewsense/friend/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | for those projects that use CVS and Subversion, how do we facilitate hackers using Bazaar to work? | 10:44 |
| kiko | answer: we host continuous imports of upstream version control into Bazaar | 10:45 |
| === jrshannon [n=jrshanno@S0106000f3d5cf89d.vc.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | this is a really interesting service | 10:45 |
| kiko | say your upstream project uses CVS | 10:45 |
| kiko | say it's Bugzilla (I am so biased!) | 10:45 |
| kiko | and you want to hack on it using bazaar | 10:45 |
| kiko | well, easy -- the bugzilla project has an import already set up in Launchpad! | 10:46 |
| kiko | if you visit | 10:46 |
| kiko | https://launchpad.net/products/bugzilla | 10:46 |
| kiko | you'll notice that there's a branch registered in the bottom-most right-hand-side box | 10:46 |
| kiko | if you visit the branch registered there: | 10:47 |
| kiko | https://launchpad.net/people/vcs-imports/+branch/bugzilla/main | 10:47 |
| kiko | you'll notice that it lists all recent revisions committed to upstream bugzilla | 10:47 |
| kiko | if you want to hack on bugzilla a bit | 10:47 |
| === DerXero [n=patrick@dslb-082-083-159-251.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | or customize it locally while still preserving history | 10:47 |
| kiko | just do | 10:47 |
| kiko | bzr branch launchpad.net/products/bugzilla | 10:47 |
| kiko | and (after some 10 minutes or so) you'll have a branch containing the full history of the bugzilla project | 10:48 |
| kiko | imported into a conveniently packaged Bazaar branch | 10:48 |
| kiko | you can hack away locally | 10:48 |
| kiko | and when upstream changes, we import the changes into Launchpad, and you can simply issue "bzr merge" to get the new changes and merge it into your now-modified tree | 10:48 |
| === heathenx [n=heathenx@pool-71-115-6-10.sbndin.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | this is a great way to start using Bazaar even through the upstream project hasn't decided to switch yet. | 10:49 |
| kiko | there are over 500 projects being imported continously into Launchpad | 10:49 |
| kiko | bugzilla is just one. gaim is another. be sure to register your own favorite projects today, and let's get VCS imports available to the mases. | 10:50 |
| === tsmithe [n=bip@82-70-109-22.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === michl [n=michl@p54939B1C.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | there are yet other areas that Bazaar and Launchpad fit in well together | 10:50 |
| kiko | you can assign Bazaar branches to Launchpad bugs | 10:50 |
| kiko | when the branch status changes, the bug recipients are notified | 10:50 |
| === tideline [n=tideline@208.62.120.116] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | and the next step in that integration is picking up commit log messages and automatically marking bugs closed. | 10:51 |
| kiko | specifications can also have branches assigned to them | 10:51 |
| kiko | so you can keep close tabs on how the code that others are working on is progressing | 10:51 |
| === abknicker [n=baumi@e179194228.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | let me handle some questions! | 10:52 |
| kiko | <vyoman> QUESTION how do you commit to bazaar? | 10:52 |
| kiko | in bazaar, everybody has their own branch. | 10:52 |
| kiko | what happens is that you (generally) create your own branch based on another one | 10:52 |
| kiko | so, most projects organize their work around a branch which is made publically available, and which is conventioned the "mainline" | 10:53 |
| kiko | the pattern of use is that all developers branch off this mainline | 10:53 |
| kiko | do their own work | 10:53 |
| kiko | merge in new changes from mainline periodically | 10:53 |
| kiko | and when their work is ready for distribution | 10:53 |
| kiko | they merge /their work/ into the mainline | 10:53 |
| kiko | the mainline from that point on contains the full history of that branch that they developed locally. | 10:53 |
| kiko | so, to answer your question directly | 10:54 |
| === |ganja| [n=kvirc@hnv9-d9bef2b8.pool.mediaWays.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["So] | ||
| kiko | bzr branch launchpad.net/products/gaim # create a new bazaar branch of gaim | 10:54 |
| kiko | cd gaim | 10:54 |
| kiko | vi Makefile # hack away | 10:54 |
| kiko | bzr commit | 10:54 |
| kiko | will pop up an editor window to allow you to enter a description of your change | 10:54 |
| kiko | at that point you will have one local change to your branch of gaim | 10:55 |
| kiko | you can use bzr merge to pick up new changes in gaim as they come along | 10:55 |
| kiko | which makes maintaining a long-lived branch a lot easier. | 10:55 |
| kiko | vyoman, let me know if that answered your question later | 10:55 |
| kiko | <gumpa> QUESTION: it sounds to me like Launchpad hosts the trunk, each developer has their own branch. Is this correct? | 10:55 |
| kiko | gumpa, essentially, Launchpad can host both trunk and developer branches. | 10:56 |
| kiko | the thing is, anybody can host any branch on Launchpad | 10:56 |
| === apral [n=pnewm@cor4-ppp4904.bri.dsl.connect.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | if you are a developer, you can hack on your branch locally, and then publish ("push") it to the world via Launchpad | 10:56 |
| === weka [n=weka@203.184.61.183] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | bazaar makes it very easy to create and maintain remote copies of your branch | 10:56 |
| kiko | exactly for this functionality | 10:56 |
| kiko | so you could, for instance, "bzr push" your branch to your own location up on the supermirror | 10:57 |
| kiko | again, read more about this on http://ddaa.net/blog/launchpad/bzr-hosting | 10:57 |
| kiko | <silwol> QUESTION: What do the commit messages have to look like in order for launchpad to recognize that a bug was closed? | 10:57 |
| === manuleviking_ [n=Tux@ANice-151-1-30-235.w83-197.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | silwol, very good question -- we haven't decided yet. I'd love to get your opinion on the matter in #launchpad or on launchpad-users | 10:57 |
| kiko | this feature is upcoming and I think it'll be a really neat one | 10:57 |
| kiko | so be sure to ping me about it. | 10:58 |
| kiko | getting back to perhaps a half-answered question, gumpa, essentially, the "trunk" is a convention. | 10:58 |
| kiko | any developer can do the job of merging other people's work and offering a trunk for the project. | 10:58 |
| kiko | many projects work like Linus does for Linux -- pulling people's changes in and offering them reviewed and merged as a mainline trunk. | 10:59 |
| kiko | but all branches are technically alike. hopefully that finished answering your question. | 10:59 |
| kiko | <paran> QUESTION: Are there any way to use Bazaar to send your work back upstream when you use a bazaar branch from VCS imports? | 10:59 |
| kiko | paran, not yet! that's a really good observation -- you need to produce diffs and communicate directly with upstream to get it submitted. | 10:59 |
| kiko | you can work with upstream to get them to use certain Launchpad features to make the integration easier (for instance, the bug tracker, since you could pick out branches from bugs) | 11:00 |
| kiko | and you can offer upstream with the address of your bazaar branch to make it easy for them to pull in your changes. | 11:00 |
| kiko | there is a planned but not yet scheduled feature that would simplify this for at least Subversion-hosted projects | 11:00 |
| kiko | but it's a non-trivial endeavour and I've been suffering over that project of late. | 11:01 |
| kiko | well, wow, my hour is already up! | 11:01 |
| kiko | (I do talk a lot as you have realized by now) | 11:01 |
| kiko | if you have any further questions, /please/ drop by #launchpad and let me know | 11:01 |
| kiko | suggestions are equally appreciated | 11:01 |
| kiko | I'll post a rehash of questions to launchpad-users tomorrow so people that missed out on them can check them out | 11:02 |

| weebit | what is Freshers' Day? | 11:09 |
| apokryphos | just a day where community members can answer all and any questions you have | 11:10 |
| weebit | oh | 11:10 |
| maniacmusician | it probably won't be as technically oriented, right? | 11:10 |
| apokryphos | technical questions are welcome | 11:10 |
| weebit | I just ordered my cds for ubuntu | 11:11 |
| kiko-afk | ubuntu is better than hydrogenated vegetable oil I hear | 11:11 |
| weebit | I could not find a link of supported hardware so i thought i would just hold my breath and pray the cd has the extra cd for the live distro | 11:12 |
| apokryphos | there's a few lists around | 11:12 |
| apokryphos | ubotu: hardware | 11:12 |
| ubotu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 11:12 |
| maniacmusician | weebit: great! if you have any questions or problems, make sure you ask questions in the forums or in irc. | 11:12 |
| kiko-afk | weebit, the brave are often rewarded! | 11:12 |
| maniacmusician | weebit: that list is good, but if your hardware is not on there, that doesn't mean it is not supported. Also, I don't know how updated that list really is | 11:13 |
| weebit | I have a older distro of the os but never used it on this box I used mandrake on it I got the cd of ubuntu before and it had a live distro that i used on it also | 11:13 |
| === cmn [n=carlos@200.red-82-159-198.user.auna.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| weebit | but i used it on my old box not the newer one i have | 11:14 |
| apokryphos | maniacmusician: technical questions, as in, ones about Ubuntu. It won't really be for support; #ubuntu for that. | 11:15 |
| weebit | I have a hp which is the old box and a dell demension 4600 with improvements | 11:15 |
| _MMA_ | "i would just hold my breath and pray the cd has the extra cd for the live distro" Ship-It only does the Live disk right? | 11:15 |
| apokryphos | desktop CD, yes. | 11:15 |
| === stani [n=stani@85.148.236.59] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| maniacmusician | apokryphos: thanks. I wasn't really planning on asking, I'm not really a fresher, but I was curious. But what I really meant was, for example, people were asking very complicated questions about packaging and launchpad, etc, today, and freshers day probably wont have too much of that | 11:16 |
| apokryphos | it's directly orientated to questions about getting involved in the community; but other concerns about Ubuntu can be echoed, sure. | 11:17 |
| === highvoltage [n=jonathan@196.1.61.9] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| maniacmusician | weebit: i'm pretty sure dell's are a safe bet with Ubuntu. not sure about your "improvements" however. | 11:18 |

| weebit | so i got the sound blaster live and the nvidia | 11:22 |

| weebit | then got dsl and that added a modem | 11:23 |
| maniacmusician | cool. (we probably shouldn't be chatting in here) good luck with your installation, hope all goes well. Make sure to ask questions, can't figure out everything by yourself :) | 11:24 |

| stani | is there somewhere a kubuntu feisty vmware image available for download? | 11:34 |
| maniacmusician | I don't think there are any feisty images around. you could just grab an edgy one and upgrade. there's really not too much that's different at this point, so it woudn't be too bad | 11:35 |
