mdzMez: it's used by an awful lot of other packages03:19
Mezmdz: I know that - but I've spoken to the gstreamer guys and basically their respone was03:19
Mez"well we all use it - and if it doesnt work - we've done something wrong"03:19
Mezit's a point version change, and the API hasnt changed... 03:20
mdzMez: they use it on edgy?03:20
Mezmdz: yeah03:20
Mez0.10.11 on edgy03:20
mdzoh, that's encouraging then03:20

ChipzzMez: the "purposely coded it to make sure that it isnt a problem" is imho a rather silly argument in se. I can think of only one project that's silly enough to introduce new or destablizing features in stable releases (the linux kernel :P), but most projects try to avoid introducing bugs. The thing with bugs is that most of them are created by accident. ;)03:37
=== jdong__ [n=jdong@d192-24-149-138.try.wideopenwest.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel

Mezwell I'm currently uploading locally backported debs ;)03:39
Chipzzbut I doubt the kernel matters a lot for the vast majority of users (those with not bleeding new hardware) anyway :)03:41
Chipzzboth of my laptops happened to work out of the box anyway (except for the nvidia/suspend crap), and little has changed since I installed them (both initially breezy installs)03:42
Chipzzonly thing that did change for me was a fix in ipw2[12] 00 drivers that made rmmod'ing/modprobing the drivers on iwconfig essid unnecesary :)03:43

tepsipakkibut the bug I mentioned... marked a number of dri freezes as duplicates until I understood that there were two (possibly unrelated) issues :)07:12

webbencjwatson, I was just off to find out, thanks :)10:06
dholbachMez: I'm just asking the folks in #gstreamer what could cause this10:06
Mezcjwatson, I see your point, but as far as I'm concerned, I'd be happy, it builds quire nicely... however, daniel pointed out some issues with the current feisty version10:06
dholbachMez: I don't know what's causing the problems10:06
Mezdholbach, I saw :D10:07
Mezdholbach, if it isn't the new gstreamer, would your opinion on backporting it change ?10:08
dholbachMez: you asked me for my opinion - I wouldn't backport anything until jokosher worked fine for me - because 0.1 *works fine* on edgy right now - I wouldn't like to mess it up10:09
Mezdholbach, fair opinion :D10:10

StevenKDebian's view has always been, "We'd prefer if it had manual pages, but it doesn't require them."11:59
BenCI hate programs like that11:59

_ionHow about explaining it in the man pages? :-)11:59
StevenKI agree with BenC, too, for what it's worth.11:59
cjwatsonI'm not really interested in how much of a pain it is - I just want the warning not to be overridden, because people are picking up that idea from somewhere and it's wrong11:59

cjwatsonif you use invoke-rc.d when it's available, that's fine and you can override the message - but as Mithrandir says12:08

MezMithrandir, because I'm installing udev rules12:08

MithrandirMez: if you install files directly to the rules directory, it does.12:09

dholbachheno: should we add that <sourcepackage> tag to the clue files?04:44
henodholbach: I think so, yes04:45
henowill it be optional?04:45
dholbachhmhmmh, that'd mean reading all packages/ files first04:45
dholbachi don't have a solid opinion yet :)04:45
henome neither04:46
henowhat was the use case for it again? local files for testing out stuff?04:46
dholbachwhat about this: if no special -r flag (or whatever it will be) is used, we rely on <name>.info files, else the <sourcepackage> xml tag will be considered04:47
dholbachyeah exactly04:47
henoit's useful if you tell bh to use that file, while if you only give it the package name then the clue file should have that name imo04:47
henoyep04:48
dholbachlike that you can also 'accumulate' say evolution clues over a bunch of files (including the 'officially packaged' ones)04:48
henoright04:48
dholbachok: so only read all specificied clue files, if -r is used, then rely on <sourcepackage>04:49
dholbachi'll let   bugxml -s   add that tag also04:49
dholbach(we had to rename -sa)04:49
henothe question is should bugxml create the official ones or secondary ones?04:49
henoyou can always cut and paste the content to the official one later04:50
dholbachit shouldn't matter... bugxml can't write to /usr/share/bughelper/packages anyway - or did I overlook something?04:50
henoyou're right. would the local files contain only one package or could I have my_clues.info with 5-6 packages, each identified by the source tag?04:51
henodholbach: ^04:52
dholbachi'd prefer to have them separated, but we can also agreggate them if need be04:52
=== Tonio__ [n=tonio@42.8.100-84.rev.gaoland.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
henoI guess we are getting into areas of personal workflow taste. How hard is it to change this stuff later04:53
dholbachonce we'll have masses of people committing to ./bughelper/packages we'll also have less conflicts if we don't sum up all clues to one big xml file04:53
heno(point being that we should pick a route and go with it)04:53
dholbachI don't think it's going to be hard - it'll just mean that we have to parse one giant file instead of being able to pinpoint to one single file based on the source package name04:53
henooh, I wasn't suggesting the official clues be all in one file, just my personal ones04:54
dholbachwe'd have to change the xml format a bit04:54
dholbachi'll think about it... as you said: it's good to decide this early04:55
henoyeah, don't bother. Better to just make a directory and stick secondary files in there (locally) with the same name as the official04:55
dholbachI think that'd fit well into the spec like discussion we had yesterday about OrganisingClueFiles04:56

seb128iwj: around? how does the gnome-app-install codec API works? there is no --help nor manpage for it05:48
seb128iwj: "gnome-app-install --codec=0.10:decoder-audio/mpeg" is supposed to be correct?05:49
=== trickie_ [n=nick@basesoft.demon.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel
iwjseb128: Yes.05:50
iwjThe wiki spec is the documentation.05:51
iwjSorry about the lack of --help; that's because there's not a proper option parser in g-a-i because python sucks.05:51
iwjseb128: I take it that gnome-app-install --codec=0.10:decoder-audio/mpeg didn't do what you wanted ?05:51
seb128the wiki has --codec=theora as example05:52
seb128no05:52
seb128$ gnome-app-install --codec=0.10:decoder-audio/mpeg05:52
seb128no suitable application05:52
seb128that's ii  gnome-app-install        0.3.6                    GNOME Application Installer05:52
iwj(Although I'm not sure whether there's anything for decoder-audio/mpeg.  What package are you expecting it to offer and does it have a .desktop file anywhere?)05:52
seb128and there is a .desktop for gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly listing decoder-audio/mpeg05:52
iwjHmm, must be broken then.05:53
seb128/usr/share/app-install/desktop/gstreamer-ugly.desktop05:53
seb128ok05:54
iwjErr, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is in universe and not whitelisted.05:54
seb128is there a way to say that I want to use universe?05:55
iwjYes, there's a file in /etc you can edit.05:55
=== Tonio__ [n=tonio@42.8.100-84.rev.gaoland.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
iwjNo, apparently the components whitelist is in gconf.   /apps/gnome-app-install/mime-whitelist-components, default is just `main'.05:57
dholbachiwj: bughelper now uses optparse - i can send you an example if you like05:58
iwjian@anarres:~ $ time python -c 'import optparse'05:58
iwjreal    0m3.885s05:58
iwjian@anarres:~ $ time python -c 'import optparse'05:58
iwjreal    0m0.143s05:58
iwjToo slow!05:58
iwj(That's on my Athlon 2GHz.)05:59
dholbachok... maybe somebody ports popt or something to python *shudder* :-)05:59
seb128iwj: ok, with universe whitelisted it works better06:02
iwjOh, good.06:02
