| Simon80 | oh, no | 01:15 |
| Simon80 | check the diff | 01:15 |
| geser | -r is recursive | 01:15 |
| geser | somerville32: diff -Nur dir1 dir2 | 01:15 |
| somerville32 | Thanks a bunch :) | 01:15 |

| somerville32 | my fault | 01:17 |
| somerville32 | Geser: I'm preparing a patch to fix a bug so what I'm doing is tacking the revision before the fix and the revision that fixed and creating a patch to apply to the package. Is this the right track? | 01:18 |

| Cyllene | ryanakca: No, becoming a member is. :p | 01:20 |
| Simon80 | darkmagez: are you doing ok with it? | 01:20 |
| minghua | Cyllene: if you just want to maintain one package, you can just do your work and ask somebody here to upload it for you | 01:20 |
| Cyllene | hmm | 01:20 |
| DarkMageZ | Simon80, i'm reading it now :) | 01:20 |
| Simon80 | the diff? | 01:21 |
| somerville32 | geser: Should the earlier revision be the first argument and the next revision the second argument? | 01:21 |
| Simon80 | btw, if you want binaries, I can link you to that too | 01:21 |
| geser | somerville32: diff -Nur old_version new_version | 01:22 |
| ryanakca | Cyllene: yeah... that's what I do :) | 01:22 |
| somerville32 | geser: And to apply, I would do patch -Nur --dry-run ../patch.diff ? | 01:22 |
| somerville32 | (for a dry run) | 01:23 |
| Cyllene | Cool. | 01:23 |
| DarkMageZ | Simon80, it looks good. i'm building it now | 01:23 |
| Cyllene | And if you maintain a few packages for a while, you can work your way up to membership maybe. :) | 01:23 |
| Simon80 | cool | 01:23 |
| Simon80 | like I said, I have edgy i386 binaries published... I should at least | 01:23 |
| geser | somerville32: patch -p1 --dry-run < ../patch.diff | 01:24 |
| minghua | Cyllene: exactly. | 01:24 |
| geser | in the old_version dir | 01:24 |
| somerville32 | geser: I didn't get any errors from the dryn run so it is safe to apply, right? :) | 01:25 |
| Simon80 | I suppose you shouuldn't trust me, and build it yourself, but that takes time :D | 01:25 |
| geser | somerville32: yes | 01:26 |
| Cyllene | ryanakca: What packages do you maintain? | 01:26 |
| ryanakca | Cyllene: just a sec | 01:27 |
| ryanakca | Cyllene: https://launchpad.net/people/ryanakca/+packages | 01:28 |
| somerville32 | geser: The current package version is 0.2.2-2ubuntu5. Should the new package be 0.2.2-2ubuntu6 or 0.2.2-2ubuntu5.1? | 01:29 |
| geser | for which release? | 01:29 |
| geser | for feisty it would be 0.2.2-2ubuntu6 | 01:29 |
| somerville32 | dapper | 01:30 |
| somerville32 | I'm doing an SRU | 01:30 |
| geser | then 0.2.2-2ubuntu5.1 | 01:30 |
| somerville32 | k | 01:30 |
| somerville32 | :] | 01:30 |
| jdong | 2ubuntu5.0.6.10-1? | 01:33 |
| jdong | (j/k) :D | 01:33 |
| geser | would this make 2ubuntu5.0.6.10 part of the version and -1 the revision? | 01:34 |
| jdong | sure let's go with that :) | 01:35 |
| somerville32 | This packaging thing is getting easier with more practise <g> | 01:37 |
| somerville32 | Can someone review?: http://pastebin.ca/265101 | 01:40 |
| geser | looks ok to me | 01:43 |
| geser | I would also add a # before the bug numbers | 01:43 |
| somerville32 | k | 01:44 |
| somerville32 | :] | 01:44 |
| geser | but it' more of a personal taste | 01:46 |
| theCore | I'm realizing that using svn would only add an overhead to my packaging tasks | 01:56 |
| jdong | I only version packaging info selectively... | 01:59 |
| jdong | and svn adds as much overhead as you can ask for :) | 01:59 |
| somerville32 | What do I do if I get an error when signing the package? | 01:59 |
| jdong | ok, I take that back | 01:59 |
| jdong | s/svn/CVS | 01:59 |
| theCore | I wonder when HCT will be ready | 01:59 |
| somerville32 | I think I need to use a flag to specify the key by id | 01:59 |
| somerville32 | Whats the flag? | 01:59 |
| theCore | somerville32, -k | 01:59 |
| jdong | theCore: cat hurd-joke | sed -e 's/hurd/HCT/g' | 02:00 |
| theCore | hehe | 02:00 |
| theCore | I think I will try bzr-builddeb | 02:03 |
| somerville32 | a debdiff is a patch, right? | 02:03 |
| jdong | yeah, pretty much | 02:03 |
| somerville32 | So I would check the checkmark in the lp post comment section, right? | 02:04 |
| jdong | I don't know | 02:06 |
| jdong | I know I don't | 02:06 |
| somerville32 | What does it do anyhow? | 02:06 |
| minghua | theCore: I only put debian/ dir into SVN | 02:07 |
| theCore | minghua, hmm, interesting | 02:07 |
| minghua | somerville32: I label debdiff as a patch. :-) I don't think that label is important, though | 02:08 |
| theCore | personally, I would like to separate the *.orig.tar.gz into a tarballs/ directory and put my builds inside build-area/ | 02:09 |
| minghua | that sounds a very good idea, but probably need some smart scripts to automate the work | 02:11 |
| minghua | especially if you have contents in .diff.gz that is out of debian/ dir | 02:11 |
| theCore | that what I was thinking doing | 02:11 |
| minghua | I know some maintainers/teams do things that way, though | 02:11 |
| minghua | Debian's vim team, for example | 02:12 |
| minghua | but they use a unusual .orig.tar.gz structure | 02:12 |
| minghua | a tarball-and-patch-in-orig.tar.gz one | 02:12 |
| theCore | oh, I see | 02:12 |
| somerville32 | I hate building packages | 02:12 |
| somerville32 | It takes forever :/ | 02:12 |
| theCore | hehe | 02:13 |
| theCore | the other nice thing I was thinking is having a build daemon to make package from the fresh upstream source. | 02:15 |
| DarkMageZ | Simon80, stepmania claims that there are no songs installed. i've got stepmania & stepmania data installed. no default songs? | 02:15 |
| theCore | but, I imagine it would be quite hard to maintain | 02:16 |
| theCore | however, it would be very useful | 02:17 |

| Simon80 | http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/Download_Songs | 02:46 |
| Simon80 | I get mine from DDRUK, if you want DDR songs... but that's likely copyright infringement | 02:46 |
| Simon80 | so that's all I'm gonna say about that here | 02:47 |
| plerk | hey, anyone of you know if imbrandon is around? | 02:48 |
| Simon80 | but at stepmania.com, the developers are making efforts to get people to submit original songs. The reason one would want DDR songs is so that they can practice those at home, and then know them already when they hit an arcade machine | 02:48 |
| === elektranox [n=elektran@p5481D317.dip.t-dialin.net] has left #ubuntu-motu [] | ||
| Cyllene | hmm | 02:51 |
| Cyllene | With gpg, I have two keys, a main key (rsa) and a subkey (rsa). Which one do I send to the ubuntu keyserver? | 02:52 |
| Cyllene | One is used for encryption and the other for signing. | 02:52 |
| Cyllene | I want to say the one for encryption, but you would think that an RSA key has two parts, a public and private part. | 02:52 |

| Hobbsee | ajmitch: can review | 03:32 |
| Simon80 | well, someone, lol | 03:32 |
| Cyllene | theCore: Well, yeah. But I incorrectly assumed that the presence of an RSA key meant you have both a public and a private part. | 03:36 |
| Cyllene | gpg makes the distinction between which key is for signing and which key is for encrypting. | 03:37 |
| theCore | Cyllene, well, that's what public-key encryption is all about | 03:37 |
| Cyllene | theCore: Yeah but usually I would generate "one" RSA key which was the public and private parts. | 03:37 |
| theCore | Cyllene, is it the first time you use gpg? | 03:37 |
| Cyllene | No it's not, it's just the first time I am making my keys all complicated and not the default way. :p | 03:38 |
| theCore | Cyllene, what is wrong with the default options? | 03:38 |
| Cyllene | theCore: Nothing, I just have a habit of trying things different ways. | 03:39 |
| Cyllene | I.e, I like to look at different settings and methods and see what happens when you change them. | 03:40 |

| somerville32 | However, I'm a bit confused about rules | 08:35 |
| somerville32 | Should I uncomment dh_python? | 08:38 |

| pascal80 | Can I just send a patch of the desktop file? | 01:32 |
| pascal80 | I'm not so familiar with altering packages. | 01:32 |
| somerville32 | File a bug report and attach the patch, sure | 01:33 |
| pascal80 | How do these bugs get picked up by a MOTU? | 01:34 |
| Hobbsee | subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors | 01:36 |
| Hobbsee | preferably file the bug and the patch in debian | 01:36 |
| Hobbsee | then it will automatically (almost) get fixed over here | 01:36 |
| pascal80 | Thanks for your answer Hobbsee | 01:37 |

| ubotu | REVU is a web-based tool to give people who have worked on Ubuntu packages a chance to "put their packages out there" for other people to look at and comment on in a structured manner. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU | 02:30 |
| Hobbsee | Uploading to ubuntu (via ftp to upload.ubuntu.com) | 02:30 |
| tsmithe | Hobbsee, REVU says "Since Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake), dput is already configured for REVU uploads, with the [revu] entry. However, if are running an earlier version you can add the following entry to your /etc/dput.cf:" | 02:31 |

| somerville32 | Hobbsee: What do you mean by by "Do all of those depends need to be there, or should there be related build-depends? "? | 03:03 |
| Hobbsee | do you know how shlibdeps work? | 03:04 |
| somerville32 | no | 03:05 |
| somerville32 | This is my first package | 03:05 |
| Hobbsee | ie, if you need those packages to install it, usually you'll need the corresponding -dev packages during compile time. did you run this though a pbuilder? | 03:05 |
| Hobbsee | ah right | 03:05 |
| somerville32 | Yup | 03:05 |
| geser | somerville32: debhelper evolved other the time and the different levels control the behaviour of several debhelper scripts, see also the manpage for debhelper | 03:05 |
| Hobbsee | if you have foo-dev as a build dep, shlibdeps will mean that you have foo as an automatic dep | 03:05 |
| geser | somerville32: don't ship /usr/sbin if you don't need it | 03:06 |

| rmjb | tsmithe: you should only ask those persons that are ubuntu members, you can tell they are members by the text that comes up when they sign into the chat like phanatic n=phanatic@ubuntu/member/phanatic | 04:39 |
| geser | tsmithe: if the package isn't Ubuntu specific don't make it a native package (even if you are upstream) | 04:39 |
| rmjb | of course not all ubuntu members in this channel are MOTU | 04:39 |
| tsmithe | rmjb: ok | 04:40 |
| tsmithe | geser, how do you mean? | 04:40 |
| geser | create a diff.gz with the contents from the debian/ dir | 04:40 |
| geser | don't ship the debian/ dir in the orig.tar.gz | 04:41 |
| tsmithe | hmm | 04:41 |
| tsmithe | i don't know how to do that :( | 04:42 |
| phanatic | rmjb, somerville32: debian/menu is not essential... a .desktop file is more important since that's freedesktop standard | 04:42 |
| tsmithe | i was using galternatives as an example, and worked from that | 04:42 |
| rmjb | tsmithe: did you go through the excellent ubuntu packaging guide? | 04:42 |
| rmjb | !packaging guide | 04:42 |
| 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 | 04:42 |
| tsmithe | rmjb, yes :( | 04:42 |
| geser | tsmithe: galternatives is not a wise choice as an example | 04:43 |
| tsmithe | oh | 04:43 |
| tsmithe | why is that? | 04:43 |
| tsmithe | it's in universe... | 04:44 |
| geser | the alternative system is Debian/Ubuntu specific, you won't find it on other distributions | 04:44 |
| tsmithe | ok | 04:44 |
| tsmithe | but i fail to see why that makes it a poor example | 04:44 |
| geser | therefore galternatives doesn't split the debian changes into a diff.gz | 04:45 |
| geser | this is called a native package | 04:45 |
| tsmithe | and native packages are bad? | 04:45 |
| geser | not in itself but for an example of packaging | 04:46 |
| tsmithe | ok | 04:46 |
| tsmithe | so how do i split off a .diff.gz? | 04:46 |
| === Q-FUNK [n=q-funk@dsl-hkigw8-feb6fb00-217.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| geser | if you have an orig.tar.gz without debian/ dpkg-buildpackage will put all changes (e.g. the files in debian/) into a diff.gz | 04:48 |
| tsmithe | this is confusing | 04:49 |
| tsmithe | all i am doing is running debuild -S -sa in the source directory | 04:50 |
| tsmithe | then uploading with dput | 04:50 |
| tsmithe | so how do i get an orig.tar.gz without debian/ | 04:50 |
| geser | in most cases the tar.gz you can download from upstream doesn't have a debian/ dir | 04:51 |
| tsmithe | this is my own application | 04:51 |
| tsmithe | i created the debian dir | 04:51 |
| tsmithe | was this unwise? | 04:51 |
| geser | only if you ship it in the orig.tar.gz | 04:51 |
| tsmithe | but how do i get an orig.tar.gz? | 04:52 |
| tsmithe | debuild spits out asoundconf-gtk_1.0.dsc | 04:52 |
| tsmithe | asoundconf-gtk_1.0_source.build | 04:52 |
| tsmithe | asoundconf-gtk_1.0_source.changes | 04:52 |
| tsmithe | asoundconf-gtk_1.0.tar.gz | 04:52 |
| geser | first you should name the tar.gz asoundconf-gtk_1.0.orig.tar.gz | 04:54 |
| geser | debuild should create then a diff.gz which should be empty in your case | 04:54 |
| tsmithe | ok | 04:55 |
| tsmithe | then how do i go about splitting the debian/ dir off? | 04:55 |
| geser | it should be there (in the orig.tar.gz) in the first place | 04:56 |
| tsmithe | but you said to split it off into a .diff.gz | 04:56 |
| tsmithe | should i build the archive without the debian dir, then add it into the dir, and debuild will put it into .diff.gz | 04:56 |
| geser | yes | 04:56 |
| tsmithe | thanks :) | 04:57 |
| tsmithe | yay! | 04:59 |
| tsmithe | thanks ever so much | 05:00 |

| somerville32 | lol | 05:31 |
| rmjb | and easy way to always get it right is to type the first couple characters of their name then hit the TAB key | 05:31 |
| rmjb | try it out on me | 05:31 |
| somerville32 | rmjb: I've been up for 24 hours now | 05:31 |
| rmjb | you need to get some sleep | 05:31 |

| tsmithe | somerville32, yeah... you said you were going to sleep hours ago! | 05:32 |
| somerville32 | geser: Both are his -email | 05:32 |

| siretart | is this dh_python and dh_pysupport stuff really required when using cdbs? | 05:38 |
| tsmithe | i'm not really sure | 05:39 |
| tsmithe | does it hurt? | 05:39 |
| === siretart thought the point of cdbs was to hide such details :/ | ||
| siretart | well, it hurts my eyes when I see such things. thats bad enough | 05:39 |
| tsmithe | looking at the debuild output, it seems to need it | 05:40 |
| tsmithe | but it doesn't need dh_python | 05:40 |
| tsmithe | that's deprecated | 05:40 |
| siretart | I'm no cdbs expert either | 05:40 |
| tsmithe | but i'm pretty sure it needs dh_pysupport | 05:40 |
| siretart | well, my londonlaw package did manage it without that explicit dh_pysupport call. | 05:41 |
| siretart | but I'm using python-central instead | 05:41 |

| === guglielf [n=guglielf@unaffiliated/guglielf] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| tsmithe | siretart, looks like i can do it all with cdbs | 05:43 |
| siretart | somerville32: there are several problems here. one is the new python policy, the other one is cdbs :/ | 05:43 |
| siretart | since cdbs is supposed to make packaging easy [tm] , it should hide such silly details. the fact that it doesn't means to me that cdbs sucks badly here | 05:44 |
| tsmithe | siretart, without dy_pysupport i need a setup.py file | 05:44 |
| tsmithe | it's much easier to just use dh_pysupport | 05:44 |
| tsmithe | so i would definitely prefer to not have to have a setup.py | 05:45 |
| siretart | great! | 05:45 |
| tsmithe | so is that alright? | 05:46 |

| sivang | tsmithe: that's much more then that! | 06:56 |
| Simon80 | tsmith: you know about Dance Dance revolution? | 06:56 |
| === sivang notes stepmania is like the killer app of the 21st century | ||
| tsmithe | nope | 06:56 |

| sivang | although I'm a MOTU, I'm not sure if I can review your package as I'm not registered in the review login | 06:57 |
| Simon80 | I picked that cause it's ridiculous | 06:57 |
| sivang | any MOTU admin around / | 06:57 |
| tsmithe | sivang, can you review mine? | 06:57 |
| somerville32 | Sp4rKy, are you a MOTU reviewer? | 06:57 |
| Simon80 | tsmithe: see above, lol | 06:57 |

| tsmithe | sivang: surely you can log in? :) | 06:58 |
| Simon80 | haha, no that video | 06:58 |
| Simon80 | I picked stepmania cause I want stepmania | 06:58 |
| Simon80 | but I picked that video cause it's ridiculous | 07:00 |
| Simon80 | and then the guy gets a AA, too | 07:00 |
| Simon80 | I personally have my own pad and all, I don't think DDR is ridiculous, just really geeky | 07:01 |

| somerville32 | sivang: Common'. Review our packages :P | 07:09 |
| tsmithe | yeah | 07:09 |
| Simon80 | revu! | 07:09 |
| Simon80 | lol | 07:09 |
| tsmithe | we need you | 07:09 |
| rmjb | wow, three people looking for reviewers now... not counting me... what has Open Week done! | 07:10 |
| tsmithe | this isn't a result of open week | 07:10 |
| tsmithe | my package is a result of two things | 07:10 |
| tsmithe | a) my desire to learn python | 07:11 |
| Sp4rKy | somerville32: no i'm not | 07:11 |
| somerville32 | :( | 07:11 |
| tsmithe | b) my want for a gui application to switch default alsa sound card | 07:11 |
| Simon80 | tsmith: gnome has one of those | 07:11 |
| tsmithe | i'm in xfce ;) | 07:11 |
| Simon80 | I think... | 07:11 |
| tsmithe | gnome does | 07:12 |
| tsmithe | i wanted to replicate it | 07:12 |
| tsmithe | so i did :) | 07:12 |
| Simon80 | rmjb: nothing to do with open week, I'm a long time user who just wants stepmania | 07:12 |
| Simon80 | and is tired of compiling it | 07:12 |
| rmjb | actually I wanted reviewers before Open Week too | 07:12 |
| tsmithe | so where are these new reviews who have come as a result of open week! | 07:12 |
| somerville32 | It's Sunday :] | 07:12 |
| tsmithe | so | 07:13 |
| tsmithe | ubuntu is a volunteer thing | 07:13 |
| somerville32 | Only real geeks come out on Sunday | 07:13 |
| Sp4rKy | ^^ | 07:13 |
| somerville32 | Ubuntu isn't a volunteer thing :P | 07:13 |
| tsmithe | i'm a volunteer | 07:13 |
| rmjb | yep it is | 07:13 |
| tsmithe | are motus paid? | 07:13 |
| somerville32 | Paid devs don't come out on the weekends | 07:13 |
| somerville32 | Thats why it is so quite | 07:13 |
| rmjb | only a handful of people are paid, and most of those are core-devs, not motus | 07:13 |
| tsmithe | volunteers with nothing better to do (ie me) come out on sunday. especially when it gets dark at 4pm | 07:14 |
| rmjb | maybe only dholbach is a paid motu | 07:14 |
| sivang | sorry guys, it seems I can't login and I'm a bit busy at the moment anyways, but nice going on the stepmania thing - I happen to have used it myself from source on Ubuntu | 07:14 |

| ubotu | REVU is a web-based tool to give people who have worked on Ubuntu packages a chance to "put their packages out there" for other people to look at and comment on in a structured manner. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU | 07:26 |

| tsmithe | request a sync | 07:28 |
| tsmithe | or merge | 07:28 |
| luks | ehm, but how? | 07:29 |
| tsmithe | look in wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | 07:29 |
| tsmithe | it'll be there somewhere | 07:29 |
| tsmithe | hang on | 07:29 |
| === infinito [n=infinito@87.217.160.179] has left #ubuntu-motu ["Abandonando"] | ||
| tsmithe | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Merging ? | 07:30 |
| somerville32 | sync | 07:30 |
| somerville32 | You want a sync | 07:30 |
| zul | ajmitch: must kill.. | 07:31 |
| somerville32 | 0_o | 07:31 |
| tsmithe | i would have thought a sync | 07:31 |
| tsmithe | but i couldn't find a wiki page for it | 07:31 |
| tsmithe | and that one reads "Merging and Syncing from Debian: Introduction" | 07:32 |
| luks | i think i'm kinda lost in the MOTU pages on the wiki | 07:34 |
| luks | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Merging is more a technical information about how to do it, which is not exactly what i'm looking for | 07:34 |
| somerville32 | File a bug | 07:34 |
| somerville32 | And ask for it to be synced | 07:34 |
| somerville32 | Subscribe the archive team | 07:34 |
| geser | not until you are a motu | 07:35 |
| somerville32 | If it is in debian, it should have already been synced to Feisty though | 07:35 |
| luks | yep, i thought about that, but a bug to which package | 07:35 |
| siretart | luks: is your package already in ubuntu? | 07:35 |
| === finalbeta [n=finalbet@d5152A68A.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| luks | no | 07:35 |
| siretart | luks: then wait a few days. the syncs are triggered manually | 07:35 |
| siretart | luks: I assume the archive admins are currently busy with herd-1 | 07:35 |
| luks | but i still don't know how to request the sync :) | 07:35 |
| geser | as a non-motu subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors to get an ACK from a MOTU | 07:35 |
| tsmithe | poke a motu? | 07:36 |
| luks | is there some kind of pseudo-package for sync requests in Malone? | 07:36 |
| siretart | luks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources contains the instructions for syncs | 07:36 |
| siretart | please obey them | 07:36 |

| tsmithe | <rmjb> only a handful of people are paid, and most of those are core-devs, not motus | 08:06 |
| imbrandon | somerville32: right on, i feel yea bro, just give it more than 15 minutes between asking for people to look at it ( general rule of thumb i try to follow is once every 2 hours max ) | 08:06 |
| tsmithe | but you don't need to ask (luck devil)! | 08:06 |
| somerville32 | Do I get e-mailed on updates or do I have to check manually? | 08:06 |
| imbrandon | tsmithe: not true there are core dev's like me and ajmitch that arent paid :) | 08:07 |
| imbrandon | and crimsun and lots of others | 08:07 |
| imbrandon | :) | 08:07 |
| tsmithe | it wasn't me that said that ;) | 08:07 |
| imbrandon | somerville32: not yet, you have to check | 08:07 |
| === tsmithe points at rmjb on his way to work | ||
| zul | guys you have to be patient alot of people spend time with their families on the weekend the review will get done | 08:07 |
| somerville32 | imbrandon: Is REVU programmed in Python? | 08:07 |
| imbrandon | yes mostly, iirc there are a few shell scripts that run it too | 08:08 |
| zul | hey imbrandon | 08:08 |
| somerville32 | Is REVU open source? | 08:08 |
| imbrandon | heya zul | 08:08 |
| imbrandon | somerville32: yes | 08:08 |
| zul | happy early bday btw | 08:08 |
| somerville32 | Is it on lp.net? | 08:08 |
| imbrandon | the source is in a bzr branch on LP | 08:08 |
| imbrandon | zul: thanks | 08:08 |
| ajmitch | somerville32: yes, yes, yes | 08:08 |
| imbrandon | hrm LVM or non-LVM | 08:09 |
| imbrandon | tough choice | 08:09 |
| tsmithe | non-LVM ... backwards-compatibility? | 08:09 |
| tsmithe | easier to configure... ? | 08:09 |
| imbrandon | why would i care about backwards compat or easy to setup when i only have to mess with it once or twice a year , if that :) | 08:10 |
| imbrandon | only when i add storage to the computer is the only time it reboots ( its a file server ) | 08:10 |
| tsmithe | well then use lvm! | 08:10 |
| imbrandon | :) | 08:11 |
| somerville32 | Can I help contribute to the development of revu? | 08:11 |
| tsmithe | my subversive persuasion wins again | 08:11 |
| imbrandon | somerville32: YES,ANYONE IS WELCOME TO | 08:11 |
| imbrandon | gah caps | 08:11 |
| imbrandon | sorry | 08:11 |
| tsmithe | lol | 08:11 |
| tsmithe | what's revu2 all about? | 08:11 |
| imbrandon | the caps lock key should be banned from the keyboard | 08:11 |
| somerville32 | : ( | 08:11 |
| imbrandon | revu2 is the next version of revu :) | 08:12 |
| Simon80 | THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH CAPSLOCK I USE IT ALL THE TIME BUT I ALSO DONT LIKE PUNCTUATION IT IS NOT WORTH THE EFFORT | 08:12 |
| tsmithe | i knew that | 08:12 |
| imbrandon | and revu2.5 or revu3 will be intergrated into LP :) | 08:12 |
| tsmithe | sounds good | 08:12 |

| imbrandon | zul: ^ | 08:15 |
| imbrandon | it probably will impact my next computer purchace this month ( bday and xmas present all in one ) | 08:15 |
| zul | imbrandon: heh there is some issues with 2.6.17 on amd64 and xen that im trying to work through | 08:15 |
| tsmithe | intel support open source! | 08:15 |
| zul | but i would go for core 2 duos | 08:15 |

| jdong | no, my DNS server looks fine | 08:19 |

| tsmithe | Simon80, you can't: it's a lintian thing | 08:21 |
| Simon80 | tsmithe: read what I said, lol | 08:21 |
| sivang | Simon80: well, let's start with the ones you can make go away , like the cvs stuff for instance | 08:21 |
| Simon80 | yeah, but then my diff gets crufty | 08:21 |
| === jdong takes the overkill way out and loads on F-Secure AV.... | ||
| sivang | Simon80: ignore the standards version | 08:21 |
| Simon80 | sivang: I was ignoring that | 08:22 |
| sivang | Simon80: okay, cool, now why exactly you can't remove the cvs cruft from the package? | 08:22 |
| Simon80 | and also ignoring the feisty complaint | 08:22 |
| Simon80 | sivang: cause then my diff gains some functionally useless changes | 08:22 |
| Simon80 | that's all | 08:22 |
| sivang | Simon80: okay, is it too much to make it go away? I mean, your source package should not include in RCS leftovers what-so-ver | 08:23 |
| === FriedCPU [i=friedcpu@stuck.in.the.delta.qu4dr4n7.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Simon80 | sivang: okokok | 08:23 |
| Simon80 | it's the orig's fault though, as you can see in my diff | 08:24 |
| imbrandon | Simon80: you should still clean it up imho and then stab upstream to do the same | 08:25 |
| Simon80 | it seems that's the consensus | 08:25 |
| Simon80 | as you can see, my opinion is that it doesn't interfere with the diff, and so it's pretty anal to make a fuss over it | 08:26 |
| Simon80 | but I'll remove them | 08:26 |
| Simon80 | with the build* | 08:26 |
| imbrandon | Simon80: alot of packageing is anal :) | 08:26 |
| sivang | Simon80: and I was going to say that, but imbrandon said it already | 08:26 |
| imbrandon | but still correct none the less | 08:26 |
| sivang | Simon80: has to be anal, or else complete system will fall apart like domino bricks | 08:26 |
| Simon80 | lol | 08:26 |
| sivang | Simon80: that's dead serious :) | 08:27 |
| jdong | crikey! The spyware is trying to propagate through my network. | 08:27 |
| Simon80 | sivang: by definition, I use anal to refer to cases where you could have ignored it without such a catastrophe occurring... that's why it's anal to care | 08:27 |
| sivang | Simon80: tell Chris that he should prepare source distros without the cvs cruft, IIRC there's something in make distclean for that :p | 08:27 |

| ajmitch | Simon80: there's a lot of things we could turn a blind eye to, but it doesn't mean we should | 08:28 |
| imbrandon | cdrom / usbkey | 08:28 |
| jdong | imbrandon: pfft that takes more effort :) | 08:28 |
| jdong | and F-Secure's freakin installer demands network access | 08:28 |
| imbrandon | time to find a new program then | 08:28 |
| Simon80 | ajmitch: my question is, why not? it's not going to change the resulting binary package at all | 08:28 |
| tsmithe | that's proprietary for you | 08:28 |
| Simon80 | so it's pure nitpicking | 08:28 |
| jku | how do postinst/postrm/etc scripts get included in the package? What should I do in debian/rules? | 08:29 |
| imbrandon | Simon80: the resulting binary isnt all we care about :) | 08:29 |
| Simon80 | but the cruft will remain in the diff! | 08:29 |
| Simon80 | like a wart! | 08:29 |
| imbrandon | no , you remake the diff after its cleaned from the orig | 08:29 |
| sivang | jku: usually, you include something like $pkg-name.{postinst,preinst,..} in debian/ | 08:30 |
| imbrandon | !package guide | jku | 08:30 |
| ubotu | jku: The packaging guide is at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources | 08:30 |
| Simon80 | that's what I mean, and then the cruft appears in it | 08:30 |
| Simon80 | lol | 08:30 |
| imbrandon | Simon80: not if its not in the orig, no it wont | 08:30 |
| sivang | jku: then you could call a cdbs target that would take care of installing them, or just use dh_install | 08:30 |
| Simon80 | imbrandon: it IS in the orig | 08:30 |
| sivang | jku: but plesae refer to the packaging guide for further explenations | 08:30 |
| imbrandon | Simon80: exactly, TAKE IT OUT | 08:30 |
| Simon80 | um... repack the orig???????????? | 08:31 |
| Simon80 | over cruft??????? | 08:31 |
| Simon80 | this is just crazy | 08:31 |
| sivang | Simon80: then bug upstream to make sure cvs cruft is not included in it | 08:31 |
| tsmithe | i thought the orig wasn't supposed to deviate from upstream? | 08:31 |
| jku | hmm, I was trying to find out how to do it without cdbs or dh... but I'll go RTM now. | 08:31 |
| sivang | tsmithe: not in most of the cases, but sometime there's a corner case | 08:31 |
| imbrandon | tsmithe: there are cases it should and then you poke upstream to do the same | 08:31 |
| tsmithe | and this is one | 08:31 |
| Simon80 | this wouldn't be what I call a corner case | 08:32 |
| imbrandon | right | 08:32 |
| Simon80 | there are real reasons not to repack, and this wouldn't outweigh those | 08:32 |
| imbrandon | Simon80: it is, and just as dfsg is too | 08:32 |
| Simon80 | dfsg is a reason, but this doesn't have any functional benefit, unlike dfsg | 08:32 |
| imbrandon | Simon80: its not about outweighing them, its about the quality of whats in the repo | 08:32 |
| Simon80 | blargh | 08:33 |
| sivang | imbrandon: the repo should not include cvs/bzr/snv/whatever cruft even if it's included upstream, it's bad enough that upstream has it | 08:33 |
| sivang | s/snv/svn/ | 08:33 |
| imbrandon | sivang: right, i totaly agree | 08:33 |
| === sivang hugs imbrandon | ||
| imbrandon | and upstream should be smaked to get it removed as well | 08:34 |
| imbrandon | Simon80: thats part of the job as packaging | 08:34 |
| imbrandon | :) | 08:34 |
| sivang | just what I Was going to say ;) | 08:34 |
| sivang | thing is, we need to not only be willing to use upstream's packages, but also to help them make it of higher quality if we see fit | 08:34 |
| imbrandon | Simon80: dont feel singled out, EVERYONE has had to go through this | 08:34 |
| === sivang nods | ||
| Simon80 | yeah, I know, I just think that it's more important to care about the package putting prefs in ~/.package than to worry about cvs cruft | 08:35 |
| === lakin [n=lakin@S01060013101832ce.cg.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Simon80 | the cruft doesn't matter at all | 08:35 |
| fdoving | there are no rules (in debian anyway) that i could find some time ago, about removing rcs files from source packages. sometimes it's even desireable to have them included. | 08:35 |
| === jdong quibbles at getdeb.net...... | ||
| imbrandon | Simon80: thats the thing, they are both equaly as important | 08:35 |
| Simon80 | no they aren't! | 08:36 |
| Simon80 | one of them results in a package being broken for the user | 08:36 |
| imbrandon | Simon80: to you maybe, but to the project as whole | 08:36 |
| Simon80 | the project has messed up priorities then, because the users are priority #1 | 08:36 |
| Simon80 | any other concern should be viewed in light of how it helps developers help users | 08:37 |
| Simon80 | and this actually detracts from that | 08:37 |
| sivang | Simon80: could you please give an example of removing rcs files breaking an app? if this is the case, this package would not even get included in debian/ubuntnu from the first place | 08:37 |
| Simon80 | sivang: you misunderstood | 08:37 |
| ajmitch | you're making a huge fuss over a 30-second job | 08:37 |
| imbrandon | ajmitch: exactly | 08:37 |
| Simon80 | ajmitch: 30 sec if I don't screw up | 08:37 |
| siretart | bah! 50 mails alone in the last few hours on motu-reviewers mailing list | 08:38 |
| ajmitch | yes, there have been several uploads of the same package | 08:38 |
| imbrandon | heya siretart | 08:39 |
| siretart | heyho imbrandon, hi ajmitch | 08:39 |
| Simon80 | sivang: not having prefs in the home dir is broken, but leaving cruft in has absolutely no negative consequences, therefore fixing the first issue is of greater importance | 08:39 |
| Simon80 | and I really don't think it's necessary to go bug upstream about redoing a year old release tarball because debian devs are squeamish about cruft, cause I'm pretty sure the average person will think it's anal too | 08:40 |
| siretart | Simon80: right. but removing cruft is quite easy and not likely to break stuff, while being very obvious for reviewers | 08:40 |
| Simon80 | yes, but it results in my orig tarball not matching upstream's, which is bad | 08:41 |
| jdong | if anyone is feeling exceedingly bored, I would appreciate some feedback as to if katapult from edgy-backports is broken or not | 08:41 |
| jdong | it works perfectly for me | 08:41 |
| jdong | but I got an e-mail from someone stating it doesn't work | 08:41 |
| jdong | (i.e. ALT+space did nothing) | 08:41 |
| Simon80 | anyway, what about the outdated autotools files, do I delete those? or rerun automake/autoconf? | 08:42 |
| siretart | Simon80: ouch. when its in the upstream tarball, I personally wouldn't care too much about it either | 08:42 |
| fdoving | Simon80: i'd say making the package usable with watch files is more importan than a little messy .diff that removes the rcs files. | 08:42 |
| Simon80 | fdoving: I'm not sure which side that makes you on? | 08:43 |
| Simon80 | I'm against repacking | 08:43 |
| Simon80 | but others in here have put it forward | 08:44 |
| fdoving | Simon80: making the package work with watch files is like saying 'we only modify stuff inside the debian/ dir' | 08:44 |
| sivang | Simon80: last time I checked, the program itself should take care of creting ~/prefs stuff, and this should not be part of the packaging responsibility. Now, please, I don't like to argue, so if there are other folks who are interested in reviewing/approving, I'm happy with that. | 08:44 |

| Simon80 | well, thanks for the review, I appreciate that | 08:46 |
| Simon80 | the thing is,I don't mind bugging upstream, but if I know they don't mind leaving cruft in, then I don't feel right telling them to remove it, cause it isn't a big deal | 08:47 |
| Simon80 | I don't actually know what to do about outdated-autotools-helper-file though, do I remove it? | 08:48 |

| jdong | tsmithe: there are exceptions to that though :-/ | 08:49 |
| tsmithe | hmm | 08:49 |
| Simon80 | jdong: not in this case | 08:49 |

| tsmithe | ok... i agree about ktorrent | 08:50 |
| tsmithe | they shouldn't do that anyway upstream | 08:50 |
| somerville32 | ... | 08:50 |
| jdong | tsmithe: I've tried arguing against it, but apparently having those country flags is a critical feature for ktorrent :D | 08:51 |
| tsmithe | country flags? non-free? | 08:51 |
| somerville32 | Are you saying they have version control stuff in their release? | 08:51 |

| jdong | tsmithe: no it doesn't :) | 09:01 |
| geser | elektranox: /etc/modules | 09:01 |
| jdong | tsmithe: you can set gmail to archive messages downloaded via POP | 09:01 |
| jdong | that's about the granularity of your control | 09:01 |
| tsmithe | jdong, tell it to "Expunge deleted messages" | 09:01 |
| tsmithe | and it archives them | 09:01 |
| tsmithe | is that bad? | 09:01 |
| jdong | so the delete command does an archive? | 09:01 |
| jdong | didn't know that | 09:01 |

| Simon80 | have you found the book? | 09:06 |
| Simon80 | it's a bit out of date, but that's how I learned | 09:06 |
| Simon80 | http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/ | 09:06 |
| Simon80 | not saying it's the easiest way to go, but it's a decent resource, I think | 09:06 |
| jdong | ack maybe I should just start using my mit.edu IMAP account more :D | 09:07 |
| doomsday- | Yup, I have some variant of this one | 09:07 |
| Simon80 | ajmitch: can you tell me what to do about the outdated-autotools-helper-file warning at least? I can't even deal with that cause I don't know off the top of my head whether I need to delete them or rerun autoconf/automake | 09:08 |
| tsmithe | jdong: i can't find it and yelp's dead... | 09:09 |
| tsmithe | it justs says "Expunging deleted messages" on send/receive | 09:09 |

| tsmithe | why don't you want it to archive on download? | 09:15 |

| Sp4rKy | can i add a e17-desktop package on universe | 09:36 |
| Sp4rKy | s/a/an | 09:36 |
| lifeless | what would this package do ? | 09:36 |
| tsmithe | Sp4rKy, are you a motu ;) ? | 09:36 |
| Sp4rKy | which warn user with a debconf message, and if the user is agree modify the sourceslist and install E17 | 09:36 |

| Sp4rKy | i can't | 09:37 |
| lifeless | tsmithe: what do you need reviewed ? | 09:37 |
| tsmithe | http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=3652 | 09:37 |
| Sp4rKy | lifeless: because actually the main dev of E17 doesn't want we upload it in any offical repo (nor ubuntu neither debian) | 09:38 |
| lifeless | raster ? | 09:38 |
| Sp4rKy | yes | 09:38 |
| Sp4rKy | :) | 09:39 |
| lifeless | we should get horms and K to chat with him :) | 09:39 |
| tsmithe | i don't like the sound of the e17-desktop idea | 09:39 |
| tsmithe | it could lead to sabotage and malware | 09:39 |
| Sp4rKy | :p | 09:40 |
| tsmithe | people add untrusted repos through an official package; that repo installs spyware... urgh | 09:40 |
| lifeless | seriously though, yes you can do it, but I think its an attempt at a backdoor into universe... | 09:40 |
| tsmithe | sorry, but i feel that the packages should just go into universe | 09:40 |
| lifeless | I dont mean that maliciously | 09:40 |
| tsmithe | it's safer | 09:40 |
| lifeless | I do think its much much better to either: | 09:40 |
| Sp4rKy | i know, but we can't | 09:40 |
| lifeless | * put the packages in universe - you get all the quality checks, updates for performance etc. | 09:40 |
| lifeless | or | 09:41 |
| lifeless | * Dont. Give people instructions on your website. | 09:41 |
| Sp4rKy | ... | 09:41 |
| lifeless | actually you can, the code is GPL right :) | 09:41 |
| Sp4rKy | yes | 09:41 |
| Sp4rKy | of course | 09:41 |
| Sp4rKy | there is no "legal" issue | 09:41 |
| tsmithe | so distribute it! | 09:41 |
| Sp4rKy | but i don't know if we can provide a package which use external repo | 09:42 |
| lifeless | hmm, its too early for tokyo | 09:42 |
| tsmithe | Sp4rKy, why not just add all the packages from that repo to universe? | 09:42 |
| lifeless | we should chat with raster about this | 09:42 |
| lifeless | tsmithe: social problem with the lead dev. | 09:42 |
| Sp4rKy | tsmithe: look just before, we can't | 09:42 |
| lifeless | tsmithe: we're talking at one remove, need to discuss directly. | 09:42 |
| tsmithe | this is silly | 09:42 |
| Sp4rKy | lifeless: we've already discuss a lot with ratser, but he doesn't want ... | 09:43 |
| Lutin | lifeless: it'd be a loss of time | 09:43 |
| Lutin | s/loss/waste | 09:43 |
| lifeless | ok, so why does he not want it? what are the risks ? | 09:43 |
| somerville32 | lifeless: Would you review my package too? :) | 09:43 |
| Sp4rKy | lifeless: he doesn't want people ask the E-dev for bugs which are only due to packaging issue / special distro settings | 09:44 |
| stgraber | anyway, if the code is under GPL, that's just a social thing, he can't do anything against the packaging (except if all the code is under is own copyright and he can just change the licence) | 09:44 |
| somerville32 | sthraber: License changes aren't retroactive | 09:45 |
| somerville32 | gah | 09:45 |
| somerville32 | *stgraber | 09:45 |

| Sp4rKy | smthg like that indeed | 09:47 |
| Lutin | lifeless: actually the real point is that he doesn't want to have tons of users coming and asking questions about e17 as it's still in devel | 09:47 |
| lifeless | Lutin: in which case, wont adding a package to universe (which 4Million users can see), which enables a private repository still defeat his intent ? | 09:48 |

| Sp4rKy | lifeless: it's me who have ask | 09:50 |
| Sp4rKy | Lutin: np | 09:50 |
| lifeless | Sp4rKy: so, I dont think we should do what you propose - it sounds like it is in spirit no different to uploading directly to universe, and its definately more problematic for Ubuntu than uploading directly would be. | 09:51 |
| Sp4rKy | i've think to it today, and o would know if it's possible | 09:51 |
| Sp4rKy | lifeless: k | 09:51 |

| theCore | there some Emacs fans here? | 11:22 |

| shawarma | slomo: I've cooked this specification up that I expect you might have an opinion on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Transitions/TeX | 11:23 |
| slomo | shawarma: i disagree about the first sentence already ;) tetex and texlive both provide the same and you can choose whatever you want currently in feisty... though i would want to replace tetex with texlive, only time is bit of a problem here ;) | 11:25 |

| slomo | shawarma: and if something depends on tetex-only this is a bug imho | 11:27 |
| shawarma | shawarma: How exactly do you find that we disagree? | 11:29 |
| shawarma | shawarma: Why are you writing to yourself? | 11:29 |
| shawarma | sheesh. | 11:29 |
| slomo | :) | 11:29 |
| shawarma | slomo: How exactly do you find that we disagree? | 11:30 |
| === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| slomo | shawarma: i probably misread the first sentence, sorry ;) well, imho the solution is to drop tetex and use texlive because texlive is dead upstream anyway and debian plans to switch after etch... and for now packages should just depend on both as it's the case for almost all packages in feisty already | 11:30 |
| slomo | shawarma: s/depend on both/conditionally depend on both/ | 11:31 |
| shawarma | slomo: Really? Maybe I have just looked at a particular unfortunate selection of packages. | 11:31 |
| shawarma | slomo: Most packages I've looked at *only* depend on a tetex package. | 11:32 |
| shawarma | slomo: no texlive deps. | 11:32 |
| slomo | shawarma: well, texmacs has to be fixed... but at least everything i have installed can live with both :) | 11:32 |
| shawarma | slomo: So you're into solution no. 3? | 11:32 |
| slomo | shawarma: file bugs with patches and i'll upload for you :) | 11:33 |
| slomo | shawarma: yes... as this is what debian already does and i don't think it makes sense to do something different here | 11:33 |
| shawarma | slomo: I'm just reluctant to do so.. It *does* do the job and seems correct enough, but it also seems to me that there are other, more clever solutions. e.g. solution 2.5. | 11:34 |
| shawarma | slomo: Oh, right. Debian doing it that way *is* a quite heavy argument. | 11:34 |
| slomo | shawarma: but it's much more work and when considering that tetex will die in the short term anyway... :) | 11:34 |
| shawarma | slomo: Well, if that certainly is the case, then yes. | 11:35 |
| shawarma | slomo: Still, in case a shiny new tex distribution comes along one day, we'll have the same problem again. | 11:35 |
| slomo | shawarma: yes... talk with the debian tex maintainers if you want this fixed :) but i doubt that there will be many new tex distributions that are worth the effort in the next 10 years ;) and afaik texlive is only a tetex fork that is very actively maintained | 11:37 |
| WilderSon | has anyone here compiled a plugin for the VDR, for edgy lately? | 11:37 |
