Lutintsmithe: the notice you put in copyright to say you removed korg1212 would be better in README.Debian imo (if you want to provide info, because a line in the changelog could be enough)12:21

tsmitheok12:29
=== tsmithe wonders why uploads are sometimes quick and sometimes slow
LaserJocktsmithe: how do you mean?12:31
tsmitheand whenever he looks away they finish12:31
tsmitheLaserJock, meh - /me just being impatient :P12:31
Lutintsmithe: in general it's also good to say what patches does what in the changelog, eg. foo1.patch: <whatitdoes>. makes life easier12:32
persiatsmithe: Uploads follow the same temporal rules as boiling water :)12:32
tsmithepersia, and broth ;)12:32
tsmitheLutin, ok12:32
tsmithei thought the names were rather self-explanatory, but ok12:32
Lutintsmithe: when you put the names in the changelog you can track the changes on the package then12:33
tsmitheyes12:33
Lutineg.oh yeah, patch foo was added at revision xxx12:34
=== teer2 [i=teer@outbound.silenceisdefeat.org] has joined #ubuntu-motu
tsmitheLutin, ahh ok12:34
LaserJockhi teer2 :-)12:34
teer2LaserJock: ah, hello again.12:35
teer2LaserJock: Should I explain it again?12:35
LaserJockteer2: nah12:35
LaserJockwe have a system for reviewing and including packages called REVU12:35
LaserJock!revu12:35
ubotuREVU 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/REVU12:35
LaserJockteer2: the thing we need is for the games to be freely distributable12:36
teer2LaserJock: That's what I'm looking for, right there.  Thank you for the web link.12:36
LaserJockteer2: they don't have to be open source (although we would certainly like it if they were) but we *have* to be able to legaly distribute them on our servers12:36
teer2LaserJock: Now, do they need to create builds for each Ubuntu disto version?12:36
LaserJockteer2: not unless something changes where they need to12:37
teer2LaserJock: Do they have to be source code, or can they distribute binaries?12:37
LaserJockthey can be in binary form, we'll still make up a source package to build a .deb out of it12:37
LaserJockobviously we would prefer source code12:37
LaserJockas we can fix bugs, do security, etc.12:37
teer2LaserJock: Right... but, well, I can check the temperature on that one.12:38
LaserJockbasically it comes down to, if it's closed source but we can distribute it then it goes to Multiverse12:38
teer2LaserJock: And they can ask questions about that in hee, right?12:38
teer2LaserJock: *here12:38
LaserJockif it's free (as in freedom) with source code, etc. we can put it into Universe12:38
LaserJockteer2: sure12:38
teer2LaserJock: So -- what if it was a (let's make something up) a 200 MB binary, proprietary, freely distributable game demo.  Are you saying they could go through this process and get it hosted?12:39
=== poningru_ [n=poningru@adsl-074-245-140-197.sip.gnv.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
LaserJockteer2: I would think so12:40
teer2LaserJock: or do they provide the hosting and the Ubuntu universe would just point to the file location?12:40
LaserJockno12:40
LaserJockwe put everything in our mirrors12:40
teer2LaserJock: Okay, so all the hosting would be done through the mirrors.  Interesting.12:41
teer2LaserJock: Very interesting.12:41
LaserJockalthough, with something that big, it might be better to point to a file12:41
LaserJockI'm not sure12:41
tsmitheLutin, it's up: http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=404912:41
tsmithe:)12:41
LaserJockbut we have games that are at least 50MB in12:41
LaserJockI believe12:41
teer2LaserJock: Started a linux gaming advocacy site, linuxgamingworld.com  --  trying to get new life in the commercial, professionally linux-supported gaming scene.12:42
LaserJockteer2: we do have a gaming team12:43
LaserJockthey might be the best to talk with12:43
LaserJockI'm not really up on that12:43
teer2LaserJock: How so?  How can I contact them?12:43
persiateer2: There does seem to be a limit in size.  The uqm package has a large separate hosting for some optional portions of the game (around 200MB), and only has about 50MB in the repositories.12:43
LaserJockah, that makes sense12:43
LaserJockteer2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Teams/Games12:44
teer2LaserJock: I am so there.12:44
teer2Thanks for your help persia and LaserJock.  Any other suggestions for me?12:45
LaserJockteer2: learn how to package and join the team ;-)12:45
teer2If you think of anything, my contact info is on the site.12:45
teer2LaserJock: I will try!12:46
teer2Cheers -- Have Fun!!!12:46

keescookcrimsun: thanks for getting acroread updated.12:57
keescookI was looking at the acroread libs, and there's nothing stopping us from changing the packaging to let acroread run on amd64...12:57
ajmitchall the bits are there?12:59
keescookajmitch: yup.  it's how I uncovered the ia32-libs-gtk issues12:59
keescookI'm running it right now (and uploaded a fixed ia32-libs-gtk too)01:00
keescookThe only part I'm unsure about is the sanity of my Depends: line.01:01
keescookDepends: ${shlibs:Depends}, libldap2, libcupsys2, libstdc++5 [!amd64] , ia32-libs-gtk [!i386] 01:01
keescookDebian Policy seems to imply that [] 's are only valid in build-deps...01:01
ajmitchand mixing shlibs:Depends with explicit dependencies01:02
ajmitchworst case, you could generate depends from rules & use misc:Depends :)01:02
ajmitchbut I don't think that'd be nice01:02
keescookthe rules is already a little ugly because I need to NOT include mozilla-acroread ...01:03

keescookyeah01:05
LaserJockajmitch is da man ;-)01:06
ajmitchthat's quite nasty still, since it requires hard-coding all those libs in debian/rules01:06
keescookseems like overkill, can't it to both?01:07
ajmitchit's just avoiding the use of shlibs, since it needs the 32-bit libs on amd6401:08

persiaWhen I modify the Maintainer field to Ubuntu defaults, does this belong in the changelog, or should it be assumed by the -ubuntu versioning scheme?01:56
LaserJockpersia: what?01:58
LaserJockyou shouldn't need to mess with Maintainer:01:58
LaserJockunless you are packaging from scratch01:58
persiaLaserJock: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleasePlan, and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField.01:59
LaserJockpersia: you should check with mdz to see if we are really doing that02:00
Adri2000persia: that is done automatically by the buildds02:00
persiaAdri2000: For binary packages, but for source?02:00
persiaLaserJock: Is he usually on #ubuntu-devel?02:01
LaserJockpersia: yeah02:01
LaserJockI don't know that I've ever seen anybody change the source package yet02:01
Adri2000we shouldn't change the maintainer field, buildds do it:02:02
Adri2000pkgmaintainermangler: Maintainer field overridden to "Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>"02:02
LaserJockAdri2000: but according to the spec we will be02:03
LaserJocknot sure if that's in place yet or not02:03
=== persia grumbles about not being able to check the source for Launchpad to find out.
Adri2000the maintainer field can be different between the source and the binary package?02:04

somerville32LaserJock, There was one just the other day02:10
ajmitchLaserJock: probably due to holidays02:10
keescookcrimsun: cool.02:10
LaserJockwe had pretty much everything together in November02:10
ajmitchLaserJock: oh, UDS wasn't *that* long ago ;)02:10
keescookcrimsun: I have a patch I'd like others to look at before I upload it, but it'd let acroread run on amd64.02:10
sistpotycrimsun, Nafallo, keescook: we should announce motu-swat on the mailing list ;)02:10
LaserJockwe are going to have most of the useful part of the release cycle done with before we have a Council :(02:11
somerville32What is motu-swat?02:11
LaserJockMOTU Security02:11
keescooksistpoty: yes please!  I'm sorry I haven't mentioned it anywhere, I've been totally swamped02:11

ajmitchsistpoty: finally!02:11
LaserJockajmitch: but I believe it is02:11
sistpotykeescook: ok, I'll write a mail...02:12
ajmitchyay, another team I could join02:12
sistpotyajmitch: please do ;)02:12
somerville32I read that there were efforts to modify revu to allow for non-motu to comment on uploads. I think this is an excellent idea :)02:12
crimsunLaserJock is a deity; it's not like he needs to do work ;)02:12
LaserJocksomerville32: I don't02:12
somerville32LaserJock: Why?02:12
LaserJocksomerville32: because people rely on the quality of those comments02:13
LaserJockit should be a 2 way communication between the people contributing and the MOTUs who are approving02:13
LaserJocknot that giving advice is a bad idea02:13
ajmitchsistpoty: nah, I don't think I'll join any more teams02:14
LaserJockbut a contributor should be able to have a level of expectation that the comments are acurate02:14
somerville32LaserJock: Whats the difference between asking someone here in the chatroom and on revu?02:14
LaserJockcrimsun: bah, dieties are supposed to do 2x as much work ;-)02:14
=== ajmitch is glad he's a mere mortal
LaserJocksomerville32: because REVU is our "official" method of contribution review02:15
somerville32LaserJock: Then maybe we need an intermediate unofficial method02:15
LaserJockI think this channel and the mailing list would probably suffice, but perhaps02:15
persiasomerville32: Here is probably good.  Non-MOTUs who comment can be corrected by MOTUs when they make mistakes.02:15
LaserJockthis comes up fairly regularly02:16
somerville32Right but the issue is if people aren't here02:16
somerville32I'd love to be able to take the list and work my way through it and share my wisdom where I can02:16
somerville32And lighten up the load for real MOTUs02:16
geseris uploading to revu the only way to get an account which is necessary to be able to comment?02:16
LaserJockwe have allowed a few exceptions where a person that has demonstrated are good reviewers they can be given reviewing rights02:16
somerville32LaserJock: Thats an excellent idea!02:17
somerville32Maybe we should document a process in which to be granted reviewing rights02:17
LaserJockgeser: you have to be a MOTU (or exception) to comment on other people's uploads02:17
LaserJocksomerville32: I think not, IMO, it should be a rare thing02:17
somerville32LaserJock: Alrighty then. Just more work for you ;] 02:18
LaserJockif it's really bugging you, become a MOTU and start reviewing :-)02:18
somerville32lol02:18
LaserJockyou can also review-by-proxy02:18
somerville32Maybe I'll do just that02:18
ajmitchbddebian is always willing to help out, I'm sure :)02:18
crimsun:)02:18
geserLaserJock: I'm a MOTU :) but doesn't have an account on revu02:19
LaserJockgeser: then get one :-)02:19
geserby uploading to revu?02:19
LaserJockgeser: no, by asking a revu admin02:19
crimsunon another note, I'm surprised at how often people "just want stuff packaged for Ubuntu" but don't put in any work02:19
LaserJocklike the Candidates list? :-)02:19
somerville32hehe02:20
ajmitchbecause they don't understand how contributing to free software works..02:20

LaserJockcrimsun: well, I got an upstream author to start packaging some chemistry stuff for Debian/Ubuntu today02:21
=== ajmitch just wants sleep
LaserJockcrimsun: hehe02:21
LaserJockthat was interesting02:21
geserhttp://tiber.tauware.de/~lucas/versions/unimultiverse-all.html lists nearly 650 packages which are in Ubuntu but not in Debian02:21
persiaI was under the impression that Candidates was actually useful.  There is a package in debian-mentors (alephone), that I would like to see in Ubuntu.  How should I proceed to get it in?02:21
LaserJockdo people actually look at Candidates?02:22
Adri2000persia: once it is in debian, sync request02:22
LaserJockI'd never go there to find something to package ;-)02:22

=== ajmitch gives up

UbugtuMalone bug 78879 in dpkg "dpkg doesn't support the Original-Maintainer field" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/7887903:30
LaserJockpersia: the spec says X-Original-Maintainer03:30
LaserJockbah, but .debs seem to have Original-Maintainer03:30
LaserJockdarn it03:30
LaserJockwell, I knew my email was going to suck03:31
persiaOK.  Now to whom should I subscribe the bug to get it uploaded?03:32
LaserJockubuntu-sponsors03:32
persiaLaserJock: Thanks.03:32
ajmitchthere's a new team? :)03:33
LaserJockno, never03:33
persiaLaserJock: Apparently that's ubuntu-main-sponsors :)03:33
=== ajmitch can't keep up
LaserJockpersia: ah, I thought it was originally ubuntu-sponsors, my mistake03:33
LaserJockit's impossible to keep up with all of this03:33
crimsunnote: u-m-s isn't going to do anything until the maintainer signs off on it, so it'd be premature to sub u-m-s03:33
persiaLaserJock: It probably was.  Teams seem to change frequently.03:33
bddebianNo kidding it is03:34
LaserJockthe only thing to do let crimsun do it all03:34
persiaOK.  Unsubscribing.03:34
persiaNevermind.  I can't.03:34
LaserJockcrimsun: then what's the point of u-m-s? I thought the whole idea was that the u-m-s team would upload for you03:34
LaserJockalthough I can see needing a MOTU ack or something03:35
ajmitchpfft03:35
persiaLaserJock: What does a MOTU ack do for main?03:35
ajmitchs/u-*-s/crimsun/03:35
crimsunLaserJock: it's dpkg, which is core, and you don't want that touched without a sign-off03:35
ajmitchwhy do we bother with teams when we have crimsun?03:35
LaserJockcrimsun: again, then what's the point?03:35
persiaajmitch: crimsun sleeps (on alternate Tuesdays)03:36
ajmitchthere are plenty of things in main that wouldn't need special sign-off03:36
LaserJockif you have to go through the maintainer anyway why use u-m-s03:36
=== fernando [n=fernando@unaffiliated/musb] has joined #ubuntu-motu
LaserJockajmitch: true03:36
crimsunLaserJock: u-m-s is for uploads, of course. It just makes for a bit less email spam to wait imo.03:36
LaserJockand that makes sense if this is a special case03:36
persiaLaserJock: I'd consider dpkg a *very* special case.03:36
ajmitchthere are things that you don't want everyone handlign u-m-s to touch03:36
ajmitchlike the kernel, X, dpkg, etc03:37
LaserJockwell, sure03:37
ajmitchsince I wouldn't trust every sponsor to know the ramifications of a change03:37
ajmitchand I'd trust myself even less03:37
LaserJockbut then it still seems like we should be going to the maintainers in the first place03:37
LaserJockit just seems like people have to go through so many layers to get things done :/03:38
persiaLaserJock: Malone autosubscribes anyone who wants to be a bug contact for the package.  If the maintainer likes bugmail, they get subscribed.03:38
LaserJockpersia: of course03:38
LaserJockmy point is, if the maintainer needs to ack it anyway, why wouldn't they upload it too03:38
ajmitchof course03:38
ajmitchwe *love* layers03:39
LaserJockhence why we are ogres ;-)03:39
ajmitchthey probably would upload it03:39
=== persia actually appreciates the review of my patches.
ajmitchor they may not have time03:39
ajmitchimpressive seeing how many bugs motu-swat is subscribed to that are php web apps :)03:42
LaserJockyeah, who was it, maybe sistpoty, that said we should just remove php from Ubuntu and security would be done :-)03:43

ScottKGood evening (here anyway) everyone.04:33
sistpotyhi ScottK04:33
=== ScottK really appreciates all the time people have put into helping with his packages.
ScottKhi sistpoty04:34
ScottKI think I'm ready this time...04:34
ScottKhttp://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=405004:35
=== ScottK learned about writing and installing man pages today :-)
persiaScottK: You'll want the Maintainer to be Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com> (bare email addresses are unfriendly).04:39
ScottKOK.  Thanks.  I'll go fix that.  That's what I get for copying direct from the spec without putting my brain in the middle.04:39
LaserJockpersia: I think he can have his address if he wants04:41
persiaScottK: I should thank you.  Your mention of that yesterday has caused interesting results.04:41
LaserJockalthough it'd be fine to put ubuntu-motu too04:41
ScottKYeah.04:41
persiaLaserJock: I'd agree to that, but the current value is just the MOTU email address.04:41
LaserJockpersia: that's no good ;-)04:42
ScottKChanged that here locally.  I'll upload again momentarily.04:42
ScottKAnything else before I fire off debuild or are you still looking?04:42
persiaScottK: There's some vim cruft in README.Debian.04:43
ScottKI got it that way from upstream.  The upstream has /debian in it.  Is that worth increasing the size of the diff for?04:44
=== Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-motu
ScottKhi Hobbsee04:44
persiaScottK: Your changelog says you deleted upstream /debian.  If you changed "deleted" to "modified", it would be fine.04:45
ScottKAh.  Good point.04:45
ScottKI04:45
ScottKl'll remove the cruft.04:45
Hobbseehey ScottK 04:46
ScottKcruft excised...04:46
persiaScottK: Is there a difference between INSTALL and README.Debian?  I'm not sure you need both.04:47
ScottKThe differences are small, but real.  The main difference is that the path you put in your Postfix config is different since Debian installs in a different place.04:48
persiaScottK: Then you need both.  Sorry I missed that.04:48
ScottKNo problem.04:48
ScottKAppreciate the help.04:48
persiaScottK: I don't see anything else, but you'll want real reviewers to check it.04:48
=== ScottK does want real reviewers to check it, but will fix your comments first...
ScottKThanks.04:49
ScottKUpdated and uploaded: http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=405204:59

persiaI've been processing merges, but I'm beginning to get the feeling there is a reason there are so many outstanding.  Should some merges not be performed?  I'm especially curious in the cases where MoM reports no problems with the merge.08:00
Nafallowe have some that have there own packaging in Ubuntu. gajim being one :-)08:00
Hobbseepersia: ask the person who last did the merge first.  there's usually a reason they havent done it.  and we're waiting on a lot of syncs.  also, main is frozen for herd 1 - dont know how easily universe uploads are getting thru, as they're not automatic, due to forementioned freeze08:02
persiaNafallo: Well, yes, but for example, adasockets is 1.8.4.7-5 in sid, and 1.8.4.7-4ubuntu1 in feisty.  The most recent Ubuntu upload was a merge, and MoM reports no errors.  It being first in the alphabet, I would expect it to be a popular target.08:02

Hobbseepersia: may be a result of soyuz being broken, or having been broken08:05

=== StevenK is looking at a neat bug.

=== guibis [n=guibis@bxm123.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has joined #ubuntu-motu

Hobbseeor has mentioned it in here08:31
persiaHobbsee: I understand.  I'll try to avoid that.08:31
Hobbsee:)08:32
persiaHobbsee: So if the changelog shows one person doing all the work, or making significant changes, I should make an effort to check when they are likely to be present, but if all uploads are different, it's probably safe just to do it?08:32
Hobbseepersia: yeah08:33
persiaHobbsee: Thanks for the detail.  That's definitely a workflow I can follow.08:33
Hobbseepersia: by now, they usually either 1) dont have time to do it.  or 2) will do it, but have had to make other changes to make that bit work08:33
Hobbseepersia: ie, contact them.  in the case of 1) feel free to take any and all their merges, unless they ask you not to touch one, (often one deliberately left because it doesnt work).  in the case of 2), respect their wishes08:34
persiaHobbsee: I've also encountered a case where the Debian and Ubuntu maintainer were the same, and they thought it could sync, but it broke :)08:34

ScottKOnce again, appreciate you looking.04:40
geserbut you are maintaining the package in Ubuntu, so it would be ok to set Maintainer to yourself04:42
ScottKI guess.  I don't mind it being the MOTUs.  It'll still show up as a package I uploaded so it's easy enough to keep track of on LP.  Eventually this will also be in Debian and I won't be the Debian maintainer (am not a DD and am extremely unlikely to become one), so I expect this will be less confusing in the long run.04:45

ScottKLaserJock: I'm around now10:42
LaserJockScottK: I was just going to say, you don't have to be a DD or MOTU to maintain your package in Debian or Ubuntu10:43
ScottKAh.10:43
LaserJockand there's really no reason you can't be in Maintainer:10:44
LaserJockthe spec is too address Debian packages10:44
ScottKI expect to be doing the actual maintenance work regardless of who is in the maintainer field10:44
Q-FUNKI _does_ make it easier, though, if someone doesn't constantly have to wait for a sponsor to upload.10:44
LaserJockQ-FUNK: sure, but you *can* do it10:44
Q-FUNKbut true, one can simply routinely submit patches and ping the maintainer to merge them.10:44
Q-FUNKor maintain their own package and wait for sponsors.10:45
ScottKI'm more about getting the package into Ubuntu than I am about getting my name in lights.10:45
Q-FUNKI guess for that, MOTU formalized the process of peer reviews and sponsoring.  10:45
LaserJocksure10:45
ScottKRegardless of maintainer or not, I still need to wait for a MOTU to REVU anyway.10:46
Q-FUNKat Debian, the mentoring is much more lax.10:46
Q-FUNKI keep on cursing at how many days it's gonna take for an upload to take place, whenever my AM is unavailable. :(10:46
LaserJockScottK: that's fine, I just wanted to say that you have that option if you want. It's always nice to be able to see who I can go to for issues with the package10:46
ScottKSure.  My assumption is that being in the changelog will do it for that.10:47

philluk86hi does anyone know the policy for packaging python applications, specifically pygtk ones?11:43
ScottKDid you look at the Debian Python Policy?11:43
ScottKhttp://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/11:45
philluk86yes, there isnt much specifically on python programs. Install the modules into /usr/share/modulename. I dont know where I am allowed to put glade files, can I put them under modulename/ui ?11:47
LaserJockphilluk86: you can put the glade files pretty much wherever you want in /usr/share/<packagname>11:49
LaserJockand where you install the .py files depends on what kind of app and wheither you want to use python-support of python-central (I recommend the later, but it's up to you)11:50
somerville32Whats the difference between the two?11:50
philluk86well atm im using a standard makefile which will precompile the py files and then copy to the destdir11:51

LaserJockjust install the .py files11:57
LaserJockoh, man, that really stinks (WRT acroread)12:02
somerville32philluk86, You'll need to patch the makefile to not to compile them and ot make sure the .py files are installed.12:02
somerville32philluk86, python-support/python-central will compile them for you if you install them to the correct location12:03
somerville32If you install them to a weird location, you'll need to specify it manually12:03
philluk86ok.. so whats the best way to tell people about my app?12:05
LaserJockwhat do you mean?12:05
crimsunLaserJock: yeah, it sucks (Ubuntu doesn't have it), but it doesn't suck (less work for us; I can still pbuild modified debian-multimedia.org's)12:06
LaserJockcrimsun: yeah, it's just that it's like the 2nd app I install on every Ubuntu box12:06
crimsunand less bug mail for me Wins.12:06
LaserJockyeah, for sure it's easier maintainence wise12:07
LaserJockbut people will complain profusely12:07
crimsunlet 'em.12:07
crimsunI'll happily post my diff.gz and dsc12:07
philluk86i meant if i want people to try my app should i post about it on the forums?12:08
LaserJockphilluk86: yeah, having a website and the app in Universe will help as well12:09
LaserJockphilluk86: maybe blog about it somewhere12:09
