(I have really no idea of the problem) === luisbg [n=d33p@87.217.144.143] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:28] sistpoty: the linda easter egg [12:28] ? [12:29] Lutin: is it valentine's day in your tz? then just run linda [12:30] sistpoty: ahhh nice :) [12:30] sistpoty: fine if you have no problem with it. === ThunderFox [n=KitsuKun@oh-71-55-62-166.dhcp.embarqhsd.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:31] maybe it was hapening because I was running the edgy linda on packages builded in a feisty pbuilder [12:31] Lutin: well, maybe... feisty ones are all quiet here. [12:31] sistpoty: cool then ; [12:31] :) * === anibal [n=anibal@debian/developer/anibal] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:32] btw.: any c++ guru around, who could happen to know how I could find out the typename of the type a pointer points to? [12:34] sistpoty: almost no c++ knowledge here... but afaik you need rtti [12:34] sistpoty: http://www.cpp-tutor.de/cpp/le16/le16_03.htm looks good [12:36] slomo: thanks for the hint, but I guess rtti is not exactly what I need... [12:38] sistpoty: what's the difference to what you want? :) [12:39] slomo: actually I want to convert a std::list of a derived class to a std::list from a base class... give me a sec and I'll put sample code on a pastebin [12:39] slomo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5639/ [12:40] slomo: and I don't want to simply reinterpret_cast (both are lists of pointers, so that *should* work), because I want to know if I change my class hierarchy to be no longer compatible during compile time [12:42] sistpoty: hm what about the n other casts of c++? ;) sorry, i don't really know much about c++... it just looks confusing to me ;) === hub [n=hub@toronto-hs-216-138-231-194.s-ip.magma.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:43] slomo: the problem is that the lists are distinct types, so I can either reinterpret_cast them or not cast them at all :( (so I try the trick with the template to look if the elements can be type-converted implicitely) === caravena [n=caravena@32-29-246-201.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:44] LaserJock: could you have a look at mlt on revu when you have some time ? [12:51] slomo: ha, got it :) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5643/ [12:52] sistpoty: congrats :) what are you doing btw? [12:53] slomo: writing my thesis... a VHDL to c compiler for the faumachine project [12:53] slomo: the idea is to translate e.g. a pci-card modelled in vhdl into c-code that can be used as a component in the virtual machine [12:54] sistpoty: wah, vhdl... the ugliest language i ever saw :) but other than that this sounds like fun [12:54] slomo: vhdl is *really* ugly... :( [12:55] btw.: http://faumachine.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/FAUmachine/fauhdlc/ [01:05] Yeah, I do agree with everyone, VHDL is a little obsolete in it's design. However, getting engineers to stop using Fortran is dificult enough. [01:06] but Fortran rocks [01:06] *laugh* for limited use . . . newer structured scripting languages are better. [01:07] tell that to my advisor ;-) [01:07] Fortran was revolutionary in it's time . . . I guess that's when your advisor was young. [01:07] ;-) [01:07] It's like I have an affinity for c-form basic variants. [01:08] I know they suck, but I can't help it. [01:08] I grew up with later DOS variants, there is no helping it. [01:10] Anyways, has anyone started considering making a Universe package for the Doom engine OdaMex yet? [01:10] It recently got it's first public release (Mixed license issues prevented it earlier. They didn't want a Doom Legacy issue set.) === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:14] ThunderFox: no, but feel free. [01:16] Good, I'm sure the folks back at the OdaMex community will like that as a contribution. It should get them lots of good developers. [01:17] Should I put it in /usr/local, where it is designed for using hacked level files, and is considered a beta-stability Alpha (prevents glitches with degunkers, and makes degunking easier if packages switch out uncleanly) [01:17] never put any packaged stuff in /usr/local [01:21] now i've got my membership, i'm gonna work really hard to get motu [01:21] ajmitch, Yes, I noticed most packages use a remote /usr/local directory storage if they look for extra binaries there. [01:21] ajmitch, they tend to only create the directory in those cases. [01:22] ajmitch, thanks for the tip. === zul [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c1-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:24] hi guys! I have a small question: what's the best way to not apply a patch (.patch system) in debian/patches, rename it? and if so, what's the best? [01:25] pochu: why would you want not to apply a patch ? [01:25] Lutin: fixed upstream [01:25] pochu: just delete it then [01:25] pochu: fixed upstream --> remove the patch [01:25] Lutin: and of course I say that in the changelog, right? :) [01:26] pochu: sure [01:26] thanks :) [01:26] np :) === luisbg [n=d33p@87.217.144.143] has joined #ubuntu-motu === jdong [n=jdong@ubuntu/member/jdong] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:38] another question: if a patch applied in a file which no longer exists now, what should I do? (it's about a .desktop entry) [01:38] pochu: nuke the patch :) [01:39] pochu: if doesn't apply to any actual file, there's no point keeping it [01:39] Lutin: ok, thanks :) [01:40] pochu: you might want ot make sure the 'issue' hasn't been moved elsewhere though ;) [01:41] Lutin: I think that was a desktop entry, which was on the source code, however I think now it's managed into debian/ subdirectory, is that possible? but that file doesn't exist anymore, now it has a menu entry === freeflying [i=flyingfr@gobstopper.dreamhost.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:42] pochu: menu entries are for debian, you need a desktop file for ubuntu. if none is provided in the upstream tarball, create one in debian/whatever.desktop and install it in /usr/share/applications :) [01:43] Lutin: I've just found it! It's been moved into misc/ directory. The problem was that nautilus didn't show the correct name, but the app name ? [01:43] instead of listen.desktop, it says Listen Music Player [01:43] hehe [01:44] but an ls in the terminal shows listen.desktop :) [01:44] I'll see if this is well now, or if the patch should still be applied, thanks for your help Lutin ! [01:44] pochu: nautilus diplays the 'name' field of the desktop instead of the actual filename :) [01:45] pochu: you are working on the new upstream release of listen? [01:45] Adri2000: yes, but I'm very noob, so if you are also doing it, do it, as I'm doing it just for learning [01:45] Adri2000: but if you want to review my work, you can do it :) [01:46] yep, and upload it, if you file an UVF exception request and if it is accepted, no problem :) === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:47] Adri2000: ok :) [01:48] do you know why de .desktop entry should not have the "Encoding=UTF-8" line? [01:49] should not? [01:50] Adri2000: the patch of the desktop entry removes it, don't know why (I know about nothing hehe) [01:51] can't see th reason either .. ubuntu has been using utf8 for ages [01:51] Lutin: sure :) [01:51] there is nothing else interesting in that patch, do I drop it? I think I should :) [01:52] (testing with a .desktop file without Encoding) gtodo.desktop: error: required key "Encoding" not found [01:52] desktop-file-validate says that [01:52] pochu: what does the changelog says about that patch ? [01:52] the other things are typos (fixed upstream) [01:53] + Added 15_desktop.patch to improve desktop entry [01:53] it changes the description and that [01:53] and an [fr] comment which no longer exist in the new upstream version [01:54] do you want me to put the patch in a pastebin? === caravena [n=caravena@32-29-246-201.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:55] pochu: no need to do so ;) [01:56] ok, then I'll drop it. thanks a lot :) [01:58] pochu: you can check the the desktop file with desktop-file-validate if it's ok [01:58] to see if it's ok* [02:00] Lutin: thanks! is this a semicolon?

I have a small question: with .patch patch system, should I apply them manually before building? I think so, but I'm not sure... [02:52] depends on debian/rules, if it has a patch system to apply them [02:52] RAOF: looks good, uploading [02:53] ajmitch: it hasn't, they are just diffs [02:53] sistpoty: Thanks muchly. [02:53] nixternal: / Amaranth: commit 0a70404517448b8d3176f47798765baad52a6c70: UBUNTU: sound/pci/hda/: More Conexant HDA fixes (patch_conexant.c) [02:53] pochu: no matter whether the patches are just diffs, what does debian/rules have? [02:53] crimsun: is that after -8? [02:53] Amaranth: will be, yes [02:54] ajmitch: I think it hasn't any patch system [02:54] alright, because -8 broke it :) [02:54] crimsun: post herd-4? [02:54] ajmitch: yes === ajmitch hopes that the freeze doesn't go over a week this time [02:55] ajmitch: while building: if [ "reverse-patches" = "reverse-patches" ] ; then rm -f debian/stamp-patched; fi [02:55] patches: debian/patches/21_listen_desktop_entry.patch [02:55] Patch debian/patches/21_listen_desktop_entry.patch is not applied. [02:56] mmm: Build-Depends: cdbs [02:56] ajmitch: me too [02:56] pochu: so it has some patch system at least [02:56] ajmitch: it seems like that :) [02:56] probably simple-patchsys [02:57] ajmitch: don't know how it works :( [02:57] pochu: simple-patchsys is just drop a patch in debian/patches/ and go [02:58] Amaranth: then it should be applied... going to ensure :) [02:58] make sure you name them 01-patch-name.patch and etc [02:58] so they get applied in a sane order [02:58] important if the patches overlap [02:58] not so important otherwise [02:59] ajmitch: if they don't overlap just name them all 01-* :) [02:59] Amaranth: if there is just one patch, should it be 01? or can be other number, as 10? [02:59] pochu: whatever you feel like [02:59] pochu: i'd go with 01 [02:59] 01 is best [02:59] never know when you'll want to add more [02:59] want/need [03:00] easier to add 02 than 10003 [03:00] :) [03:00] there were another 01, and I removed it, so I don't know if I should use 01 or other number :) [03:00] hehe [03:00] it's just for patch ordering, nothing magical [03:00] ajmitch: ok :) [03:01] it's called 21_listen_desktop_entry.patch (a little large) :( [03:01] nah, that's about average [03:01] I'm gonna rename it, but it's fine (if hasn't been applied) [03:01] it* [03:01] but if the package is listen i'd call it 01_add_desktop_file.patch [03:01] or something like that [03:02] :) [03:03] any idea why it isn't applied? :S [03:06] include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk [03:06] include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk [03:06] include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/makefile.mk [03:06] that's in debian/rules [03:06] you were right :) [03:07] pochu: It's possible that the patch has been previously unapplied, but the patch-stamp file hasn't been removed. [03:07] That's happend to me a bit. [03:08] RAOF: I've added the patch, and I haven't applied it. I thought it would be applied while building. What should I do then? [03:08] It depends on the rest of the environment, I think. [03:09] I haven't used simple-patchsys before, but I have used dpatch, and that' s similar. [03:09] Maybe if you pastebin the entire output of trying to build the package, it'd help?

[03:23] It tries to unapply the patch first, but it's not applied. Which is ok. [03:23] Then it builds the source package. [03:23] Then it applies the patch, and builds the binary. [03:24] Lines 64 & 65. [03:25] mmm... [03:25] RAOF: sure, it seems to have been applied :) [03:26] Oh, and I notice that docbook2x-man doesn't segfault for you. [03:26] Be careful when building it in a pbuilder, I had problems with it segfaulting for no obvious reson. [03:27] RAOF: I don't know how to use pbuilder :) [03:27] RAOF: I think it hasn't been applied... [03:28] pochu: Why not? [03:28] the listen.desktop entry in /usr/share/applications/listen.desktop looks like the upstream one... [03:28] maybe the patch isn't right... [03:29] lol at linda [03:31] pochu: It seems the build process probably updates listen.desktop. About line 124 [03:31] And 121. [03:31] You need to patch listen.desktop.in, if you're not already doing that. [03:31] mmm [03:32] RAOF: hehe, thanks!

[04:33] And for the record, I stay way from reiserfs of any kind. [04:33] pfft :) [04:33] s/way/away/ [04:33] so he killed a wife or two.... [04:33] :) [04:33] you've done worse [04:33] everytime you touch a non-open device God kills 3 penguins [04:34] ROFLMAO === vil [n=vladimir@ubuntu/member/vil] has joined #ubuntu-motu === ajmitch waits for jdong to stop [04:34] ajmitch: it'll stop when I collapse from exhaustion [04:34] *thud* [04:34] oh what a shame [04:35] that's what she said! [04:35] (ok sorry sorry I'll stop) === RAOF|Away is now known as RAOF [04:38] c [04:38] bah [04:49] night! [04:49] night [04:49] Hope the desktop.in patch worked :) [04:50] RAOF: sure, bug #84946 [04:50] RAOF: thanks a lot :) [04:50] RAOF: I hope the archive admins accept the upload :) [04:50] hehe === mayday_jay [n=mayday_j@maydayjay.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === luisbg [n=d33p@87.217.145.254] has joined #ubuntu-motu === LaserJock kicks reprepo and his DSL connection [05:46] ah, finished work for the day === RAOF is now known as RAOF|Away === Czessi [n=Czessi@dslb-088-073-032-008.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Q-FUNK [n=q-funk@modemcable208.212-80-70.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:11] well, pretty nice office space they have, at the ubuntu tech.support office [06:11] in Montreal? [06:12] yeah, there are some photos of it online [06:12] yup [06:12] I just got back from there [06:12] Q-FUNK: you been visiting, or interviewing for a position? [06:12] visiting [06:12] nice === viviersf [n=cain@196.44.1.98] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:12] hi viviersf [06:13] although rumour has it that they do have more openings coming up [06:13] boo === ajmitch tries to remember who put up photos of the montreal office recently [06:13] hey nixternal [06:13] hiya ajmitch === nixternal head>kb [06:14] heh [06:14] I have had my head stuck in code all night and just realised I have a chapter due tomorrow for Kubuntu :\ [06:14] argh, and the release notes for Herd 4 === nixternal jumps into a snow bank [06:14] ouch === jwhitlark [n=jwhitlar@h-67-102-70-2.snfccasy.covad.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:16] imbrandon, wasup? [06:17] wasn't there a motu meeting soon? [06:17] alo ajmitch [06:18] yeh in 5 hours i think [06:19] hi nixternal [06:19] tnx [06:20] Laserjock, in the last 2 days, I haven't signed on when you haven't already been on, and I've been working waaaayyy too hard... [06:20] don't you ever sleep? [06:20] of course not [06:21] it's LaserJock [06:21] LaserJock is not human [06:21] I guess so. [06:22] jwhitlark: me? [06:22] of course, one-third of the motu trinity. [06:23] well the last few days I've been on ~20 hrs/day [06:23] sick [06:23] well, I gues more like 18 [06:23] still sick [06:23] anyway, way too much [06:23] yeah [06:23] I think lj should be on the mc [06:23] I agree === ajmitch steps down [06:23] lol [06:23] heh === LaserJock give ajmitch his crown back [06:24] dunce cap you mean [06:24] heh [06:24] ouch, apport is killing performance here [06:24] really? how so? [06:24] LaserJock: I hope you'll spend time with your wife tomorrow :) [06:24] I'm getting _severe_ cpu spikes [06:25] ajmitch: actually not, we both have a bunch of stuff to do, I won't see her till ~ 10:00pm [06:25] aw [06:25] audio hiccups despite RT privileges, visible mouse cursor hitching and the like [06:25] ajmitch: we did Valentines this weekend === ajmitch briefly managed to catch up with a friend at lunchtime [06:26] he's in about his 6th year (or more) of his phd [06:26] crimsun: that's no fun [06:26] I'm starting to see the light [06:26] hiya LaserJock [06:26] but it requires more time on research and les on Ubuntu [06:26] so is he - only another year or so of experiments :) [06:27] my advisor started seriously talking about what I need to do to finish up [06:27] that's a pretty major step for me [06:27] he's not only married & studying, but has 4 kids as well [06:27] yikes [06:27] that's a good step [06:28] it's just hard when I'd rather be working here than on research :/ [06:28] temptations lie in wait.. [06:29] you have to be glutton for punishment if you enjoy bug triaging more than research ;) [06:29] to be a, even [06:30] depends on the research actually [06:30] heh [06:30] my problem is I'll have a PhD and never get to do the research I signed on to do [06:31] that's ok [06:31] you can be a fulltime ubuntu celebrity [06:32] crimsun: going to try & get to UDS Sevilla? [06:32] can't, time already spoken for [06:32] I thought it may be [06:33] you'll be fairly busy over the next few months? [06:33] yeah [06:33] I'm still not sure === ajmitch won't be there [06:34] a free trip to Spain for Ubuntu stuff is awefully hard to pass up === ajmitch won't be sponsored [06:34] but I need to sort of step back and focus on research and home [06:34] so I don't know if it would be a good idea or not [06:36] on the other hand, one of these days I'll have a "real" job [06:36] so I should travel while I can ;-) [06:36] at least you'd get sponsored to go :) [06:36] since you're active [06:36] I don't have a chance at being sponsored this time [06:37] and i'm still in some financial pain from the last trip [06:37] too many $100 cab rides [06:38] yeah, lots of pain [06:38] we need an motu/uds fund ;) [06:38] hehe === Amaranth needs to get back into development [06:38] pass the hat round on planet ubuntu ;) [06:39] or get the things i toy with included in ubuntu ;) [06:39] crimsun: maybe the motu council can setup a fund & select worthy people :) [06:39] that's an idea :) [06:39] (which would exclude the council members from being selected) [06:39] aye [06:40] there was a rather long discussion in the CC meeting about conflicts of interest, etc [06:40] & there were 5 people nominated for 3 CC places [06:41] (dholbach, mdke, mikeb, jsgotangco, burgandavia) [06:41] I've dicusses a MOTU fund for sponsorships and other needs before with others [06:41] So, my goal for feisty+1 is compiz being installed by default and being almost completely indistinguishable from metacity except for the extra "bling". [06:41] LaserJock: yes, especially for things like hardware for those that really need it [06:41] Stating this here so you can make fun of me when I fail. [06:41] Amaranth: I'd expect that anyway for feisty [06:41] Amaranth: why isn't it like that right now? [06:42] ajmitch: driver issues and stability problems [06:42] ok, we know that drivers suck [06:42] i think nearly all of the stability problems are, in fact, driver issus [06:42] issues* [06:42] what differences are there between compiz & metacity in some of the functionality like viewports? [06:42] or all the little things? [06:42] all the little things [06:43] doesn't help that ideas for the window placement code are coming from kwin [06:43] I'd welcome compiz if it integrates seamlessly & doesn't get in the way [06:43] (ie, no burning windows) [06:43] apparently since kwin itself has a bunch of different window placement options [06:43] ajmitch: sudo apt-get install desktop-effects, it's like that now [06:43] it'd be nice, if it worked properly [06:43] it even uses plain old workspaces by default and uses every metacity settings that applies to it [06:44] & doesn't cause unclickable hidden windows or other stupid things [06:44] don't have minimized windows when you start it :) [06:44] well that's a bit stupid [06:44] indeed === ajmitch also doesn't want to have to hack xorg.conf with arbitrary magic & restart X [06:44] the worst case is when it throws a window offscreen [06:45] it's always rhythmbox that tends to disappear on my laptop [06:45] or on my desktop.. [06:45] probably went offscreen [06:45] "Desktop effects do not work with xinerama" [06:45] real useful [06:45] that's a lie [06:45] 0.3.6 has xinerama support, last time i checked [06:45] that's what it claims [06:45] and so I can't turn it on [06:46] this is just boring old nvidia twinview [06:46] you can, just not with the big button [06:46] no real xinerama [06:46] I don't want to have to fiddle to turn it on :) [06:46] turning it on doesn't register it in autostart anyway [06:46] I want it to be like things in OSX, and Just Work [06:47] but it does make it restart when it dies [06:47] not be like the typical half-assed linux desktop :) [06:47] :-) [06:47] which is real fun, right now it restarts itself no matter _how_ you kill it [06:47] metacity --replace? screw that, compiz is coming back on [06:47] ajmitch: you should try science apps for linux ;-) [06:48] how is gchemutils? === ajmitch values his shreds of sanity [06:48] Amaranth: good actually [06:48] I'm working on that tonight actually [06:48] ajmitch: anyway, my goal is Just Works [06:48] worked last night til 3am on it === ajmitch was going to hack on authtool again tonight to make it Shiny [06:49] and a sane UI with at most 5 tabs to configure it [06:49] yeah, I'm trying to minimise UI clutter :) [06:49] but we are planning a release for the weekend or next week [06:49] LaserJock: cool [06:49] i lost interest once i couldn't work on the shiny bits :P [06:49] hehe [06:49] was only working on gallium because learning cairo was _fun_ [06:50] I'm learning C++ and a bit of GTK [06:50] and i get off on efficient XML parsing ;) [06:50] well, we do quite a bit of XML stuf [06:50] not sure how efficient it is [06:50] i'm sure it's pretty good [06:51] the real problem is I/O [06:51] but gchemtable is a heck of a lot faster than kalzium [06:51] but kalzium does a lot of neat things [06:51] on the other hand kalzium has some wicked cool stuff [06:51] ;-) [06:51] did you see the new element layout? [06:51] yeah [06:51] oh, i think you blogged about it === Amaranth can't remember [06:51] me neither [06:52] I think I did [06:52] that reminds me, how do i get myself on planet ubuntu? [06:52] think i might blog more if i knew more than 100 people were reading it [06:52] Amaranth: follow the direction [06:52] +s [06:52] and those 100 people are using RSS clients to poke it [06:52] what directions? === ajmitch doesn't blog, for that reason :) [06:52] whatever [06:52] it was fun when everyone was reading it looking for new pymusique info [06:52] or new alacarte releases [06:53] we need to bask in ajmitch's wisdom [06:53] LaserJock: I'm sure you'll just drown in the depth of my wisdom [06:53] blogging is good for people who want to talk and not work [06:53] if you could drown in something barely ankle deep [06:53] Amaranth: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PlanetUbuntu [06:53] LaserJock: but if i talk a lot the things i do work on get more attention ;) [06:54] hrmm, I just did lspci and now my wifi card is totally different than what it really is [06:54] there is no way http://steelgryphon.com/blog/?p=98 is real [06:54] i thought only new england worked like that [06:54] ajmitch: they say you can drown in 1 inch of water [06:54] LaserJock: now slice that water as thin as you possibly can [06:54] that's how deep my wisdom is [06:55] ajmitch, you are so full of crap [06:56] I agree [06:56] hmm [06:56] now to decide: my whole blog or just a certain tag? [06:57] i don't think i've ever posted something that wouldn't fit the planet [06:57] if I blogged, I wouldn't put my whole blog on planet [06:57] since I *know* that I'd want to blog stuff that people wouldn't want on planet :) [06:57] i suppose it can't hurt to have to tick an extra checkbox to make it go on planet === ajmitch might put up something once this plone 2.5 setup is up & running [06:58] I separate Ubuntu from others === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-motu [06:58] I'm also on another planet [06:59] heh [06:59] hi Burgundavia [06:59] so I try to keep things separated and relevant [06:59] hey ajmitch, LaserJock [06:59] Hey Burgundavia. [06:59] hey Fujitsu [06:59] hi Burgundavia and Fujitsu === ajmitch wonders when CC voting will open :) [06:59] Hey LaserJock. [07:00] Has the Council Grayskull voting closed yet? [07:00] I urge you all to vote for me, as a for Corey is a vote for tyranny [07:00] Fujitsu: tomorrow [07:00] ;) [07:00] Fujitsu: ends the 15th [07:00] Burgundavia: we need more tyranny [07:00] clearly [07:00] keep certain people in line [07:00] who needs consensus when you can rule by decree? [07:01] consenus really stinks a lot of the time [07:01] yeah [07:01] not that it's bad in and of itself [07:01] it's a fine line to try & keep people going in the same direction [07:02] it just takes forever and in the end you have something that nobody feels passionate about [07:03] of course a less-than-benevolent tyranny is no fun [07:03] mmm, design by commitee [07:04] did you read the latest CC meeting log? [07:04] I didn't yet [07:04] the issue of people being on multiple councils, especially [07:04] there was a spirited discussion, mainly sabdfl, mako & ubuntugeek :) [07:05] and what was the conclusion? [07:05] that people on multiple councils will recuse themselves from decisions in certain situations [07:05] you'd need to read the logs to see [07:06] seems reasonable [07:06] yeah, that was mostly sabdfl being persistent [07:06] well, I honestly don't see how we can keep all the councils/governance orthogonal [07:06] the other side was that someone serve on only one council [07:06] unless we start voting in people just because they aren't on a team yet [07:07] s/team/council/ [07:07] which gets pretty stupid [07:07] it's not like there are that many active MOTUs, yet we'll have a council of 5 === RAOF|Away is now known as RAOF [07:09] well, as long as nobody nominates me for anything [07:09] I don't care what they do so much ;-) [07:10] aren't you already on the edubuntu council or something? :) [07:10] yes, and I don't think I need more === ajmitch nominates LaserJock for TB [07:11] my term there will be up with Feisty [07:11] lol [07:11] though only sabdfl nominates [07:11] that would be the stupidest thing ever [07:12] almost as bad as me being on the TB :) [07:12] they tend to have their meetings at awful times, too [07:15] yep [07:15] like the Launchpad meetings [07:15] :) [07:15] how's that going? [07:15] oh, ok [07:16] our bug for getting preloaded tags is in review [07:16] are some are our pet bugs getting addressed? [07:16] great [07:16] or rather the cod for it is in review [07:16] *code [07:16] that's for setting a tag with +filebug? [07:16] well, I gave kiko the full list that I have [07:16] yeah [07:16] cool [07:16] I also gave him a Top 5 list === ajmitch is tired [07:17] and he said he was putting people on it [07:17] I wonder if anyone will miss me if I skip this motu meeting ;) [07:17] yes [07:17] I don't think they'll notice [07:17] of course they will [07:17] you're like the MOTU Godfather or something [07:18] nah === _czessi [n=Czessi@dslb-088-073-057-019.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [07:20] more like the senile old grandfather sitting rocking on the porch [07:20] lol [07:22] I feel like a monkey trying to figure out this code [07:22] I just see something similar and copy-n-paste and change the variable names [07:22] hehe [07:22] code monkey [07:22] and see how it breaks [07:23] then change something, see how it breaks [07:23] ad infinitum [07:24] fun [07:26] I'm starting to get a little better then that [07:26] but not a lot better === ajmitch just thrashes around & hopes for the best with code === dholbach [n=daniel@i59F71A0E.versanet.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu [07:32] Daniel!! [07:32] good morning [07:32] hi Andrew [07:33] hi :) [07:35] hi dholbach [07:36] hi LaserJock === LaserJock votes we start the meeting now [07:38] :-) === No1Viking [n=micke@h-83-140-104-74.ip.rixbredband.se] has joined #ubuntu-motu === ash211_ [n=andrew@user-112128p.dsl.mindspring.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [07:40] sure, I'm awake now :) [07:43] @schedule Chicago [07:43] Ubugtu: ? [07:44] that'll only work in -meeting [07:44] works in -offtopic too === ajmitch shrugs [07:44] ooh, MOTU meeting in 3 hours [07:44] first one? [07:44] no [07:44] we've been having them for a couple of years now [07:45] not always very regular [07:45] there was one 3 weeks ago [07:45] err [07:45] is the council stuff done yet? :) [07:45] no [07:45] voting is still open [07:45] ah, i thought this was the first meeting with the council in place [07:45] nope === bigon [i=bigon@imladris.bigon.be] has joined #ubuntu-motu === ajmitch decides to depart for a couple of hours === Ademan [n=dan@h-67-101-47-9.snfccasy.dynamic.covad.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === MagnusR [n=magru@c83-252-237-96.bredband.comhem.se] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Zic_ [n=Zic@Final-Fantasy.FF-IRC.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Lure [n=lure@external-7.hermes.si] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:26] morning folks [08:28] hi siretart === Kagou [n=Kagou@88.140.35.50] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:29] hi [08:38] \o/ === LaserJock does the "it freaking builds" dance === robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-motu === davromaniak [n=cyril@AFontenayssB-152-1-34-119.w83-114.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-motu === dholbach [n=daniel@i59F71A0E.versanet.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:50] can anybody tell me what an & is in C++? [08:50] LaserJock: reference? [08:51] LaserJock: in front of variable? [08:51] it could be a bitwise AND. [08:51] it depends on the context [08:51] crimsun: right, but that is also in C... === thill2708 [n=thomas@cpe-66-91-113-26.hawaii.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:52] why isn't mountiso in the repos? [08:53] do you want a serious answer to a contextless question? [08:53] can we do both? [08:53] whichever you like first === Lathiat puzzles [08:53] did you read "to a" as "or a" ? [08:53] ;) [08:54] or a, apparently [08:54] heh [08:54] you suck :) [08:54] so it seems [08:54] ok, so how would I ask that question better? [08:55] thill2708: the problem is your question is sort of rhetorical [08:55] mountiso isn't in the repos because it isn't in the repos [08:55] 1) no source package of that name exists in Debian [08:55] 2) no source package of that name exists in REVU [08:55] 3) no source package of that name exits in Ubuntu [08:55] do I have to be the author to request it into the repos? [08:55] no [08:56] how does this usually work? [08:56] but it's generally better if you do something more than "I want mountiso" [08:56] ----> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New <---- [08:56] thill2708: we have a wiki page where you can request an app [08:57] ah, yeah, looking now [08:57] look, linked from the topic! [08:57] which people obviously never read [08:57] just thought I'd blurt out something before researching [08:57] crimsun: context is: if (family & 1){ [08:57] of course, that's what we all do ;-) [08:57] except crimsun of course :-) [08:57] LaserJock: What type is family? [08:57] int [08:58] LaserJock: It's bitwise AND. [08:59] so what is that doing then? [08:59] LaserJock: Which is silly, because it's the same as 'family == 1' [08:59] ok, that's sort of what I thought it was [09:00] but I'm not quite sure how an AND would do that [09:00] StevenK: not precisely, it checks if family is odd number [09:02] hmm, how would I do "if family == 1 or family ==0" [09:03] Yup, Lure is correct. I didn't check closely enough. === givre [n=Florent@APuteaux-152-1-90-40.w86-205.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-motu [09:08] do I just do if (family == 1 || family == 0){ === cassidy [n=cassidy@host-213-189-171-21.brutele.be] has joined #ubuntu-motu [09:13] LaserJock: No, because that isn't it. family & 1 returns true if family is odd.

[10:56] i dropped in to #ubuntu-meeting as I am most keen on becoming a MOTU (looking for advice on the next steps) [10:57] yes, now that more and more software is being (re)licensed under open source licenses (esp.

[06:43] I don't think that tagging bugs is complicated [06:43] we can have tinyurl for those canned searches on MOTU/Bugs [06:44] I just wonder how much people will really pay attention to them [06:45] dholbach: I think tagging bugs is harder than it should be though [06:45] I think it's a lightweight process of indicating "here's a problem that lies in packaging" [06:45] sure [06:46] I just think people might search for motu-* tags [06:46] to see what different things are going on, etc. [06:46] but as you say, assigning or subscribing motu would fix that I guess [06:46] I think we should have ONE specific tag across the distro [06:46] along with the canned searches [06:47] you can still search for universe bugs among them [06:47] I just wonder how useful a tag is if it's so general that you have to then do more searching to narrow down the results [06:47] but I see your point [06:48] because a new contributor wants to see bitesize tasks because she wants to help out [06:48] at the moment there is NO bitesize task at all [06:48] and I guess she doesn't care if it's in Universe or Main :) [06:48] bitesize? what's that? [06:49] siretart_: a thing that you can fix "in one bite" :) [06:49] wow [06:49] :) [06:49] siretart_: if you don't want to "bite off more than you can chew" :) [06:50] so I can mark all my bugs which I'm to lazy to upload just as bitesize, and hope somebody else does it :) [06:50] yeah [06:50] i wrote a mail to bugsquad and motu to mark bugs as bitesize and packaging [06:50] I think it's a good way to get bugs fixed and people involved [06:51] we have some in the bughelper project too [06:51] dholbach: I understand what you are saying, but people "do" care if it's in Universe or Main [06:51] "'bitesize' if you think that it's suitable for a beginner." [06:51] that sounds really useful [06:51] perhaps the approach from ~motu works fine [06:51] Laser_away: you can still make the distinction if you care [06:52] if you feel strong about it, let's discuss on the mailing list [06:52] i'll approve your mails on ubuntu-bugsquad@.

[09:56] sistpoty: I think that "may lead to problems" is, um, problematic.

[11:54] have you put it on REVU yet? [11:55] some of the files are not under the same licence that the LICENSE file implies [11:55] and there are even non-free fonts distributed [11:55] LaserJock: we need update the debian/copyright to reflect everything [11:55] (even in a gpl app) [11:55] cinelerra = mess [11:56] for licencing [11:56] hehe, I know [11:56] multimedia = mess actually [11:56] but what are you doing about it? [11:56] read the spec :) [11:56] has -cv decided what to do? [11:56] upstream are indifferent [11:57] so are you removing the fonts? [11:59] of course [11:59] amongst other things [11:59] (*urges to read the spec*) [11:59] does the unlicensed code come from heroine? [12:00] i don't know yet [12:00] probably [12:00] *sigh* [12:01] I feel better if it comes from heroine [12:01] if it's code from elsewhere it's a bigger mess [12:02] well [12:02] they include libquicktime, etc [12:02] it's all in bzr if you want to check it out [12:03] but are those parts that don't have licenses/copyrights ? [12:03] some... some just aren't GPL and aren't noted down as such [12:04] (as i said, the LICENSE suggests everything is GPL, which is plainly isn't) [12:04] are the licenses compatible? [12:05] i'm not 100% sure of the entire situation yet. this is why we're running this review [12:06] sistpoty: ping: even with debian policy, I don't really understand when the lib soversion has to be appended to the package name in a -dev package (eg libfoo1-dev vs libfoo-dev). any clues ?

[12:06] I think heroine and -cv are illegaly distributing code [12:07] that's sad [12:07] Lutin: Have you read the library packaging guide? [12:07] they are [12:07] they just don't care [12:07] bddebian: yes [12:07] (hence multiple *sigh*s) [12:07] Lutin: usually you don't append it to the -dev package, unless you plan to have two incompatible versions of the same library in the archives [12:07] I don't think Ubuntu wants to have that [12:07] LaserJock, that's what we're out to fix) [12:07] tsmithe: but only the author can fix it [12:07] that's the problem [12:07] why? [12:07] sistpoty: ok, thanks :) [12:08] because the author is the only entity that can change the license [12:08] you can't just relicense things for people ;-) [12:09] we're not changing anything, i hope [12:09] I think heroine is the root of the issue [12:10] you'll have to [12:10] you have to have license/copyright info [12:10] unless you can convince heroine to look at their code and fix it I think it's not going to get anywhere [12:11] bahrgh [12:12] unless -cv steps up [12:12] but it doesn't sound like they are very willing to do it [12:12] LaserJock: cv is lazy [12:12] but even then, I don't know that they can relicense the stuff [12:12] since they got it from heroine, I'm assuming [12:12] i don't think they can [12:13] well, the only thing I can really see (if sending a patch doesn't work) is asking the FSF to step in === _MMA_ kick LaserJock in the butt for the disheartening remarks. :( [12:14] sorry _MMA_ [12:14] <_MMA_> :) [12:14] I just don't want you guys to waste your time [12:14] if it's not going to work [12:14] come on LaserJock!
