beuno | hello, anyone around who can answer me something about packages imported from Debian? | 03:07 |
bddebian | We can try | 03:08 |
beuno | I'm looking at this package: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/k/kflickr/kflickr_0.7-0ubuntu1/changelog | 03:08 |
beuno | http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/k/kflickr/current/changelog | 03:08 |
beuno | sorry, that's the link | 03:09 |
bddebian | OK and? | 03:09 |
beuno | it's 0.7-0 in Ubuntu, but it's been 0.7-1 in Debian for a while now | 03:09 |
beuno | http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/k/kflickr/current/changelog | 03:09 |
beuno | why hasn't it been resynced? | 03:09 |
bddebian | Probably came in to Ubuntu first | 03:09 |
bddebian | Possibly different orig.tar.gz | 03:09 |
persia | beuno: The two versions are roughly identical (this is usually the case with Debian foo-1, and ubuntu foo-0ubuntu1. There are probably no improvements to sync. | 03:11 |
bddebian | Heya persia | 03:12 |
beuno | persia: and the decision to import or not is automatic or by the package maintainer in Ubuntu? | 03:12 |
bddebian | ubuntuX versions are never autosynced | 03:12 |
persia | beuno: By MOTU generally. | 03:12 |
=== ASCIIGirl [n=mlt@244-74-235-201.fibertel.com.ar] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
=== minghua [n=minghua@ubuntu/member/minghua] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
beuno | right, so it hasn't been synced due to the MOTU deciding no major changes where made to it? | 03:14 |
bddebian | Probably | 03:14 |
beuno | great, that helps me understand it a lot, thanks bddebian, persia | 03:15 |
beuno | I'm trying to revive the "Debian Collaboration Team", so I'm going to be hanging around here a lot :D | 03:16 |
bddebian | Great welcome | 03:16 |
bddebian | persia: Damnit, I had a question for you today and I totally forgot it | 03:17 |
persia | bddebian: That's OK. You will be reminded if you upload a new gmsh :) | 03:18 |
bddebian | URL? | 03:18 |
beuno | I'm going to re-check the progress that's been made up to now and cook up some sort of roadmap, then I'll start recruiting volunteers :D | 03:18 |
Lathiat | siretart: *nod | 03:18 |
persia | bddebian: bug #112973 | 03:19 |
ubotu | Launchpad bug 112973 in gmsh "Please merge gmsh 2.0.7-1 from Debian unstable" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/112973 | 03:19 |
beuno | persia: is there any documentation on how Debian syncs (both to and from) are working at the moment? | 03:20 |
=== freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.149.1.72] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
beuno | I've read many pages in the wiki, but none of them are too clear on it | 03:21 |
RAOF | Sync *from* Ubuntu to Debian? Does that happen at all? We try to push patches up, but it would seem strange for the Debian repository to contain a package with a -xubuntuy version :) | 03:22 |
persia | beuno: I haven't seen a really good page. Basically, in the beginning of each cycle, Ubuntu imports everything from that doesn't have local changes, and Ubuntu developers merge those that have changes. After the freeze, this stops until the next cycle. When bugs are found that also apply to Debian, often Ubuntu developers will open a bug in the BTS, and will provide a patch if one is available in Ubuntu. | 03:23 |
persia | RAOF: It's manual. Take a look at packages.qa.debian.org for something with an ubuntu version. | 03:23 |
beuno | persia: great, that helps a lot, and what about upstream versions imported into Ubuntu, does Debian get any diff or notification on that? | 03:24 |
=== zul [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c1-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
persia | beuno: For new upstreams, usually not (AFAIK), as the Debian maintainer may have reasons to keep the current version. Some Ubuntu developers are also Debian developers, and so will absorb Ubuntu changes into Debian. | 03:26 |
beuno | persia: right, that leads me to two questions then, can you think of any way to semi-automate the notifications to Debian for new Upstream versions in Ubuntu taking the same approach as with patches? | 03:28 |
persia | beuno: There'S patches.ubuntu.com, and the interface on packages.qa.debian.org, but I'm not sure if most Debian maintainers would want too much automation. You'd do better to track down some of the DCT or utnubu folk for detailed answers. | 03:29 |
beuno | persia: it seems I'm heading up the DCT team now since it's been dead for months (got admin on the launchpad group), and I've recruited a DD to help me out on the Debian side | 03:30 |
=== tudenbart [n=willi@xdsl-213-196-220-18.netcologne.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
beuno | so basically now we're starting from scratch | 03:30 |
persia | beuno: You probably want to get in touch with the utnubu team (http://utnubu.alioth.debian.org/). They are the natural counterparty to DCT. | 03:31 |
beuno | persia: great, will do | 03:31 |
beuno | now, my second question, I'd like to document a bit on how a DD can become a MOTU to encourage DDs to help out on both ends | 03:32 |
bddebian | It's usually extremely easy for DDs to become MOTUs | 03:33 |
beuno | do you think a special process con be made for DDs? considering they already know how to package :D | 03:33 |
persia | beuno: It's the same process as a regular MOTU, but it's easier to demonstrate packaging skills. First, become an Ubuntu Member, then apply to the MOTU Council. | 03:33 |
bddebian | persia: Your build-deps are killing me :-) | 03:33 |
beuno | persia: so for a DD to become MOTU, has to be a Ubuntu Member first? | 03:34 |
persia | bddebian: Sorry. I only end of with the little leaves at the edges :) | 03:34 |
beuno | that seems a bit of on over kill, no? I mean, it makes the process for them very ahrd since they have to contribute in a substantial way to ubuntu first | 03:34 |
bddebian | :-) | 03:34 |
=== freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.149.1.72] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
persia | beuno: As far as I know, although the Community Council is usually very happy to welcome DDs to Ubuntu. | 03:35 |
bddebian | What would be the point if they don't want to contribute to Ubuntu? | 03:35 |
beuno | bddebian: they will, by maintaining packages for Ubuntu as well | 03:35 |
beuno | it just seems like a "chicken and egg situation" to me | 03:36 |
persia | beuno: All MOTU means is the ability to upload to universe. For their own package, a DD has that (usually), and when not, can usually contact any MOTU and get a sync. The process is to ensure they want to be involved enough with Ubuntu that when the upload other packages, they'll watch the breakage. | 03:36 |
beuno | and I'm trying to build bridges, and since I'll be going to debconf, I want to have some of this layed out beforehand | 03:36 |
persia | beuno: The Community Council usually considers contribution to Debian to amount to contribution to Ubuntu, so if a DD can point to good work to improve Debian, that counts towards improving Ubuntu as well. | 03:37 |
beuno | persia: that's good to know (I'm going to document all this for DDs to know), but I still feel that it's too burocratic, and that both parties might benefit a lot if DDs could become MOTUs easier | 03:38 |
bddebian | beuno: What is your expected result? If they can upload/update their packages to Debian, they will get synced, they really don't even need to touch Ubuntu unless they want to be involved? | 03:39 |
beuno | consider that I'm just starting to get involved in this, so feel free to point out anything I'm approaching the wrong way | 03:39 |
beuno | bddebian: the package I mentioned before is a good example, the DD has a newer version uploaded and an even newer one to upload (0.8), plus a bug that's been reported both in Debian and Ubuntu, she would like to upload it to Ubuntu as well as Debian | 03:40 |
bddebian | If "she" uploads it to Debian, we will sync it | 03:41 |
bddebian | We brought the newer upstream in August 2006. They didn't bring it in until Feb of 2007 | 03:41 |
persia | beuno: 0.8 will be synced or merged soon after upload (as long as Ubuntu is not in a freeze) | 03:42 |
=== tudenbart is now known as dothebart | ||
bddebian | And foo-1 in Debian is not a newer version then foo-0ubunt1. They are roughly equivalent | 03:42 |
beuno | right, I'm starting to understand this a bit more, the only thing that still puzzles me is the fact that she's willing to do the work *for* the MOTU, leaving him time to tend to other packages | 03:43 |
bddebian | *for* the MOTU? Is she not the package maintainer in Debian? | 03:43 |
bddebian | We have no maintainers. | 03:43 |
beuno | oh, well, it says that "Brandon Holtsclaw" is the uploader, so I assumed that he would have to check the diffs once the new package hits Debian | 03:44 |
persia | beuno: The only work involved in a sync is the archive-admin marking it OK for sync. MOTU doesn't have the ability to do that. A sync is easier than parallel uploads, as then it only has to go into Debian in the future for automatic synchronisation. | 03:45 |
bddebian | If she wants to ensure the newer version gets synced once she uploads it to Debian, she could file a bug on LP requesting a sync | 03:45 |
beuno | persia: right, that helps me understand it better thanks | 03:46 |
=== freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.149.1.72] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
beuno | I'm trying to figure out a way to take advantage of the DDs that want to help with Ubuntu too | 03:46 |
=== Jucato [n=jucato@ubuntu/member/Jucato] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
bddebian | I completely agree. I am just asking in what way you are expecting that help? | 03:47 |
bddebian | We would certainly welcome more MOTUs | 03:47 |
beuno | I greatly appreciate both your time bddebian and persia, sorry for all the questions, I'm trying to have a complete picture on how things work | 03:47 |
bddebian | No worries | 03:48 |
=== stratus [n=stratus@201.53.55.52] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
beuno | and since I got a DD to take interest in this, I thought it would be a great opportunity to help get the team moving again | 03:49 |
persia | beuno: If they want to help with their own packages, using launchpad to add Debian bugs to reported bugs, and request sync's would be great. If they want to help with other packages, they should start by submitting patches, and following the process. | 03:49 |
=== persia types too slowly :) | ||
bddebian | :-) | 03:49 |
=== sacater [n=sacater@213.131.245.105] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
=== arejay [n=rj@unaffiliated/rj-] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
bddebian | beuno: Trust me, Ubuntu tends to be much more inclusive than the Debian dev community. | 03:50 |
beuno | ok, that's a good place to start, help associate Launchpad bugs with Debian bugs and mark them fixed and ask for syncing when fixed | 03:50 |
bddebian | Not saying that we don't contribute enough back, that is still up for debate | 03:50 |
beuno | bddebian: I've spend the last weeks surounded by Debian users/developers, so believe me, I know | 03:50 |
bddebian | I wanted to be a DD for ages but got tired of getting abused. Came here and wham, I started contributing. | 03:51 |
persia | beuno: If you're up for serious effort, I believe the best way the DCT can help is to check all launchpad bugs against Debian, and make sure that if they apply to Debian, they are linked to Debian bugs, and that small, specific patches get back to Debian cleanly. This is probably best done in collaboration with utnubu. | 03:51 |
=== somerville32 [n=somervil@ubuntu/member/somerville32] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
beuno | persia: I'm very serious about this, and I am willing to put a lot of effort into it, and that seems a very resonable way to start | 03:53 |
beuno | once Debian bugs associated are marked as fixed, launchpad closes them as well, right? | 03:53 |
persia | beuno: It'S 120,000 bugs :) | 03:53 |
persia | beuno: LP closes them in Debian, but they aren't automatically closed in Ubuntu. The subscribers to the Ubuntu bugs are notified. For the packages I watch, I usually mark them Fix Released in Ubuntu when the next merge or sync happens (and I can see the bug is fixed). | 03:54 |
bddebian | We can close the Debian bugs? | 03:54 |
persia | bddebian: Anyone can. Just send mail to to bug-closed@bugs.debian.org :) | 03:56 |
bddebian | Is that a joke? :-) | 03:56 |
bddebian | I mean the (Debian) bugs on LP | 03:57 |
persia | bddebian: It's intended as a joke, but it works technically. On the other hand, I wouldn't suggest closing Debian bugs unless they are really fixed in Debian. Once the BTS closes, LP updates. | 03:57 |
bddebian | Yeah, well I get tired of wading through them :-) | 03:58 |
beuno | persia: in what cases does LP send the email to close a bug? | 03:59 |
ASCIIGirl | persia, from BTS devel info "The person closing the bug, the person who submitted it" :-) | 03:59 |
persia | bddebian: Unsubscribe, unless you want to be told when Debian fixes them. | 03:59 |
bddebian | persia: I mean just when perusing some of the lists on LP. | 04:00 |
persia | bddebian: That's a launchpad issue. One hopes that the new Debian bug import system will make it easier to differentiate. | 04:00 |
bddebian | I know it is :_) | 04:01 |
persia | ASCIIGirl: My apologies, but I'm confused. Looking at the BTS interface, I think foo-done@ should close from anyone (although submitter/maintainer are notified), as with closes foo to control@. Am I mistaken? | 04:02 |
=== freeflying [n=freeflyi@61.149.1.72] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
ASCIIGirl | persia, http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#closing | 04:02 |
persia | ASCIIGirl: That's policy, not code. That's the reason we don't close bugs: we're not supposed to do so. The BTS accepts it anyway (and the Maintainer gets annoyed). | 04:04 |
beuno | persia: so what's happening in practice? is LP closing bugs or not? if yes, do you have any exampls of this happening? | 04:04 |
persia | bddebian: Thanks for gmsh. Did you remember? | 04:05 |
=== zul [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c1-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||

bddebian | persia: Did I remember what? | 04:10 |
persia | bddebian: You had a question for me, and had forgotten it. I suggested an upload might help you remember, and I'm curious if I was correct. | 04:11 |
beuno | persia: great, I'll start documenting and investigating all this, thanks a lot, you've been *extremely* helpful | 04:11 |
mtaylor | anybody on here happen to be involved with kernel packages? | 04:11 |
bddebian | Oh, no. I ran across a couple of packages today. One used libflaac and one wx2.4 but I'll be dammned if I can recall what they were | 04:11 |
persia | beuno: Please also check with others also. I may well be incorrect about some details. | 04:11 |
beuno | persia: will triple check, but at least I can start writing this up and then go back and fix it | 04:12 |
beuno | I'm off to eat something now, again, thanks a bunch! | 04:12 |
minghua | persia: the scim bug is probably a bad example... | 04:13 |
persia | bddebian: For libflac, all the binaries imported from feisty (except kwave and prokyon3 on sparc) have been rebuilt, so the transition may be ignored. For wx2.4, everything left needs significant code changes. I'm working on patches, but they should all go upstream and back down before application. | 04:13 |
beuno | (I'll stick around, so if anything comes up, I'll read it later) | 04:13 |
persia | minghua: Why? | 04:13 |
minghua | scim has ubuntu-specific patch, so a merge is needed | 04:13 |
bddebian | persia: OK | 04:13 |
beuno | and of course, ASCIIGirl is a DD, so she might benefit from all this too | 04:13 |
beuno | aaaand I'm off | 04:14 |
bddebian | Later | 04:14 |

micahcowan | persia, the switch had already happened in Debian, so you might want to google around for Debian threads related to the change. | 05:01 |
persia | micahcowan: Thanks. | 05:01 |
micahcowan | bddebian, bugs for older releases are generally closed out I think, if they qualify for neither SRU nor backport. | 05:02 |
bddebian | micahcowan: Not from what I see :) | 05:02 |
micahcowan | bddebian, I mean, when we come across them and notice :) | 05:02 |
persia | bddebian: What's an example bug? | 05:03 |
micahcowan | At least, I have seen bugs closed for that very reason. Assuming it no longer applies in the latest release/development release. | 05:03 |
bddebian | persia: About half the bugs UUS is subscribed to :-) | 05:04 |
micahcowan | :o | 05:04 |
=== persia looks | ||
micahcowan | bddebian: So, they're bugs that are fixed in the current release? | 05:05 |
bddebian | In some cases, no, I'm working on that. But I know if I close them I will catch shit :-) | 05:05 |

persia | bddebian: I'm not familiar enough with most of the bugs I found in the list to specifically comment, but in general, I see U-U-S bugs marked "Needs Info" when the patch is outdated, but the bug exists. I generally mark bugs "Fix Released" as soon as the latest version in the repository no longer contains the bug. I've only ever had one user comment, and they were happy with the response that version x.y-z contained the fix, an | 05:08 |
bddebian | persia: Maybe I'm over-reacting, I dunno | 05:15 |
bddebian | Just seems like we have a shitload of old bugs out there | 05:16 |
=== persia misses Breezy, when 40% of universe bugs could be closed during bug day :) | ||
persia | bddebian: I think it's partly because we don't have "maintainers". I personally watch about 5 packages closely, and try to manage their bugs, but the more active people can't concentrate like that, and the bug list just gets too long. | 05:18 |

Ursinha | thanks beuno :) | 10:34 |

Ursinha | it's simple | 10:35 |
Ursinha | beuno, i have a metapackage of codecs, and i want to change one dependency | 10:35 |
Ursinha | when i repackage with debuild, it runs lintian, and it says that i have to name it as a non-maintainer update | 10:36 |
Ursinha | the original version is 0.8 | 10:36 |
Ursinha | my version, as a nmu, should be 0.8.1 or 0.8ubuntu1 or something, right? | 10:36 |
Ursinha | but lintian complains, saying that is not the correct version number | 10:37 |
beuno | that's a bit out of my league, but I'm sure someone else can help, bddebian? | 10:37 |
afflux | 0.8-0ubuntu1 would be the right thing i think | 10:38 |
Ursinha | if i version it simply 0.9, lintian complains too, saying that i should mention an nmu update, and that the version number is wrong | 10:38 |
ScottK | NMU is a debian thing. Don't worry about it here. | 10:38 |
afflux | Ursinha: just ignore these warnungs about Nmu | 10:38 |
Ursinha | afflux, hmmmm -0ubuntu1 | 10:38 |
Ursinha | afflux, can i just ignore them? | 10:38 |
