micahcowanWhy can't an SRU be a backport?12:18
ajmitchit can, but generally it shouldn't be12:18
nixternalparan: --preserve-buildplace12:18
ajmitchjust dumping in a new upstream version isn't the best way to fix a bug12:19
=== jdong_ [n=jdong@ubuntu/member/jdong] has joined #ubuntu-motu
crimsunmicahcowan: in the strict sense, an SRU is just a fix for a regression.  It /can/ be backported from a newer version; they're not mutually exclusive generally.12:19
plugwashi dunno about ubuntu but with debian the general priciple of updates to stable releases is change the minimum nessacery thereby keeping the risk of regressions to a minimum12:20
crimsunmicahcowan: we use SRU very specifically to mean an existing fix that is easily verified, tested, and has no regressions.12:20
plugwashs/no regressions/no known regressions/12:21
micahcowanSo, the rough critereon would be, if the new, existing package version is little more than a fix to that (and maybe other) regression/vulnerability, it could probably serve as an SRU; otherwise it should come in the form of a patch to the current (for that release) package?12:22
crimsunno, SRUs are _always_ patches.12:22
crimsunthe only exceptions are things in main like gnome.12:22
micahcowanso, when you said backport just now, you meant of that particular piece of code, and not of the package.12:23
crimsunthat is correct.12:23
crimsunremember that it's not restricted to backporting; it can entail forwardporting, too.12:23
micahcowanGotcha. Okay, well I expect I will probably find the relevant code for this fix in either or both of its predecessor or successor. :)12:24
micahcowanThanks very much for the help, crimsun and ajmitch.12:24
micahcowanEdgy support is until 2007 Oct, yes?12:29
micahcowanAh, until 2008. I see it.12:29

bmmjust ask01:21
micahcowandakira, I'd venture a guess that there are many more "motu hopefuls" than motus here :)01:23
dakirathx ;) i'm building several packages interdependend on each other.. I use pbuilder.. so the first one is a library.. the second one a daemon depending on it.. of course pbuilder can't download the dependency (after adding it to the contro file) because it is not in the repos01:23
dakirahow would I go about this? any hints to documentation?01:23

LongPointyStickand there was no point in coming in thsi morning.01:28
bmmdakira: I don't know the awnser to it, but http://edseek.com/~jasonb/articles/pbuilder_backports/pbuilderbuild.html may hold the awnser.01:28
micahcowanI haven't played around with such a situation, dakira... I'm kind of hoping someone will answer you. A couple things that spring to mind would be to install both packages with the same dpkg -i command, while doing a "pbuilder execute". You'll need a clever way to get the packages into your "execute" shell.01:29
bmmdakira: in the meantime, keep monitoring this channel. There may jus be smart poeple out there ;-)01:29
micahcowandakira, if you don't get an answer, it might be worth joining and posting to the ubuntu-motu mailing list. https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu01:30

StevenKI'm suspecting not as hard or demanding as $DAY_JOB, though.05:11
StevenKI should shut up. The headache I'm developing is getting worse.05:12
LaserJockI find UDSs much more demanding than $DAY_JOB05:14
LaserJockbut my day job is fairly undemanding for the most part05:15

medoc92Hello. I have submitted a package for recoll http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=4933 . It's been sitting there so long that someone later/recently submitted a debian package now in unstable http://packages.qa.debian.org/r/recoll.html . Does this means that the one on revu should now be updated and based on the debian one ? 01:40

pochumedoc92: since the package is already in Debian, we can import it. That's a sync from Debian01:45
pochumedoc92: you can still take care of that package (bug reports, packaging issues, report bugs to debian and upstream...)01:46

ScottKtogr: OK.  Let us know.  Now that there is a fix in Gutsy, there may be a move to give Feisty an update since the bug causes a crash.  That'll need testing too.02:03
togrI can test the fix without adding packages for Gutsy, right?02:04
ScottKYes02:04
ScottKDownload the source package from Gutsy, and then compile and install it locally.02:05

siretartdholbach: ah. I'm already mentoring xxxxx1, so my first slot is already taken ;)04:20
dholbachonce the front desk is up and running, they'll surely consider that :)04:20
asacdholbach: hope that we won't end up with a complete NM process at some point :-P04:20
siretartdholbach: do we already have ppl for frontdesk?04:20
siretartasac: no, I will personally make sure it won't04:21
dholbachsiretart: no, not yet - would you be interested in working on that team?04:21
siretartdholbach: I think I would do so, at least in the beginning04:22
dholbachsiretart: I think it'd be good to have people who know a bunch of *-dev members already04:22
dholbachsiretart: and it'd be good to have people do the front desk for a year04:22
dholbachasac: I prefer a light weight process for that04:23
dholbachsiretart: maybe we should add a "i'm interested in working on the front desk" section to that page04:23
=== dholbach adds it
asaci like the idea to have a dedicated mentor, so we can better keep track of prospective motus progress04:24
siretarthm, I think the MOTU Council should just appoint two persons04:24
dholbachasac: definitively agreed04:24
siretartasac: that's the point of the FD. to have a single point where interested people can go to and dispatch them to hopefully well suited mentors04:25
=== Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-motu
siretartasac: I hope we can establish good communication as soon as possible in the application process04:25

=== lionel [n=lionel@ip-61.net-82-216-103.rev.numericable.fr] has joined #ubuntu-motu
siretartasac: every mentor has to say how many slots (== applicants) he is willing to take. if there are no free slots, we need to see what to do then04:26
asaci mean we need a mechanism that cleans up slots automatically :)04:26
siretartasac: as FD I'd ask existing mentors to recheck their applicants to see if we find a free slot somewhere04:26
StevenKThis smacks of Debian NM a little much for my liking.04:26
BurgundaviaI know, we can use LP!04:26
=== ScottK agrees with StevenK.
siretartStevenK: no, debian's NM process is a bunch of annoying queue where you wait for nothing to happen04:27
=== ScottK likes the current system.
asacas long as there are no rules of how to proceed its just a "mentoring" programm04:27
StevenKsiretart: Ooooh, bitter much?04:27
asacdholbach: maybe we should not use words already wasted in debian nm, like "frontdesk"04:27
=== ScottK is generally against process stuff anyway.
dholbachasac: if you have a better word, please change it in the proposal04:28
StevenKI agree with ScottK - I like the current system.04:28
StevenKPeople come here and beg and we help them.04:28
dholbachbut there are a lot of people who need the guidance of a dedicated mentor04:28
asacdholbach: reception :-P04:28
siretartStevenK: I went through the process there. I do know it ;)04:28
dholbachI got ~90 mentoring requests in the last year04:28
StevenKsiretart: So do I.04:29
dholbachmost of those were not comfortable joining #ubuntu-motu and fighting their way through documentation and long todo lists04:29
StevenKsiretart: And I've been a DD since mid 2001, and I know it used to be worse.04:29

dholbachasac: "reception" if fine with me04:31
siretartStevenK: I think this is going to assist MOTU School04:31
ScottKsiretart: What I've mostly been doing is walking people through the process one or two times on IRC for bug fixes and then they charge off on their own.04:31
dholbachyes04:31
StevenKsiretart: Oh, absolutely agreed. Debian packaging is subtle enough that it requires a bit of time.04:31
StevenKsiretart: Can I suggest the term 'saint' instead of 'mentor' Since they might require the patience of? :-P04:32
ScottKAll people need is enough to do a little bit on their own they they can generally bootstrap themselves after that with some guidance and feedback.04:32
=== dholbach does not qualify as 'saint' ;-)
ScottKsensei04:32
StevenKdholbach: Yup. I have a few bug reports of yours as evidence. :-P04:32
psusiis it just me or is debconf not used much these days?04:32
siretartwhat's the problem with 'mentor'? is it too overloaded? if yes, by which?04:33
dholbachScottK: the more they bootstrap themselves, the better - but it's nice to have a good and light weight process running, which helps them through the worst04:33
dholbachStevenK: hehe :)04:33
dholbachplease leave more comments on the wiki page04:33
ScottKsiretart: I'd say it's overloaded as what is proposed here for mentor is (I think) not quite the same as what Debian means by mentor.04:33

psusiI'm going to try and help fix a conflicted merge generated by mom.... I'm used to doing three way merges on windows with tortoiseSVN... how can you do that in linux?04:36
StevenKpsusi: diff304:36
dholbachI updated the page with some of the comments04:37
psusiisn't that just the command line diff?  not a gui side by side viewer?04:37

StevenKCorrect.04:37
siretartwe can easily convert CSV to everything, and it is easily editable by texteditors. even merges and diffs work fine with them04:37
psusiright... so how do I view the diff3 output then? ;)04:37

welshbyteyeah, i don't enjoy football or poker at all11:59
leonelcrimsun: and its  bug fixing addictive12:02
crimsunleonel: up to a point, absolutely.12:02
crimsunthen again, YMMV.12:02
leonelI see dead bugs, but they don't know they are dead12:03
welshbytewith a merge where some patches have been added and others removed (in debian/patches/) is there an easy way to figure out which ones should be kept?12:03
crimsunleonel: :-)12:03
welshbytei was just peeking at xpdf which looks a little tricky12:03
crimsunwelshbyte: depends what you mean by "easy".  Depending on your familiarity, reading the patches could be easy.12:04
welshbytei'm not very familiar with it :)12:04
crimsunnormally it's iterative.  Take debian/changelog and compare with debian/patches/12:04
crimsunhopefully they're documented well in the former.12:04
crimsunyou'll likely end up reading the patches themselves in debian/patches/ , too.12:05
ScottKcrimsun: Thanks for the thumbs up on the application.12:05
crimsunScottK: sorry, finger slipped.  I actually meant to say that "ScottK is a booger and shouldn't be considered..."12:06
welshbytecrimsun: ok thanks, i'll have a look at it but i can't spend much time on it - supposed to be studying for exams :)12:06
ScottKGood thing for me it's to late now then....12:06
