pitticjwatson: right, that seems to be a quirk of zsh; I quickly changed this when siretart used that script on his server, and now I fixed it harder10:34
cjwatsonpitti: I would advise ignoring bugs due to using zsh as /bin/sh - that's definitely not recommended10:34

siretartcjwatson: I don't have /bin/sh -> /bin/zsh. I only executed that script10:36
pittisiretart: well, we copy&pasted commands from it to your sh10:36
siretartyeah10:36
cjwatsonsiretart: but you ran the script with zsh, right?10:37
=== jmg_ is now known as jmg
siretartindeed10:37
cjwatsonhttp://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/dot.html mandates '.' in a sh implementation - if zsh doesn't understand it, that's zsh's problem10:38
=== Spads [n=spacehob@unaffiliated/spads] has joined #ubuntu-devel
cjwatsonI didn't think zsh really claimed POSIX sh compatibility though10:39
siretarthmm. it seems that zsh's '.' command expects a full pathname to the script to source, and doesn't like it in the current directory10:39
siretart'. .alias' fails, but '. ~/.alias' works10:39
cjwatsonah, now that is actually a bash bug I think - '.' is supposed to use $PATH, not the current directory10:40
siretartaccording to your link, '.' is supposed to look in $PATH. I surely don't have '~' in my path10:40
cjwatsonso if apport's relying on cwd, it should use '. ./file'10:41
siretartinteresting10:41
siretartwhich would work in zsh as well :)10:41

=== blackskad [n=blackska@d54C1A48C.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel
siretartpitti: seems to be a unix standard however.. I admit that this is news to me10:50
pittisiretart: hm, in this case I agree with bash TBH; sourcing something that could be anywhere in $PATH seems actively dangerous and error prone to me10:51
pittihm, bash still looks at $PATH for the argument, though10:52
siretartpitti: I can imagine that there is somewhere a switch for zsh to enable this behavior10:52
siretartaah, so bash just 'adds' '.' to the $PATH for sourcing? that's nasty10:52
=== pitti readjusts his future usage of .
siretartdoes bash prepend or append '.' to $PATH for '.'?10:53
pittino10:53
pittierm, sorry10:53
pittisiretart: append10:53
siretartwow10:53
siretartthis smells really fishy10:54
cjwatsonpitti: '.' is analogous to normal command execution10:55
cjwatsonIMO10:55
pittihm, then we seem to have a completely different view about what sourcing is supposed to do10:55
mvois librarianl.lp.net not working currently?10:56
cjwatson"execute the stuff in that file in the context of the current shell" is how I think of it10:56
pittiI have always regarded it as kind of #include for shell10:56
pittiand had expected to give a path to a file name to it, not a command10:56
cjwatsonwell, the path you give it doesn't have to be executable10:57

Mithrandirtkamppeter: are you upstream for ghostscript?11:12
mvopitti: I will upload a new u-n today, I think the -1-utils is really no longer needed11:14
pittimvo: right, and the next dbus will have dbus-monitor anyway11:14
pittimvo: today would be good, then I'll wait with the NEWing until that happened11:15

tkamppeterMithrandir, yes, I have gotten SVN write access, as I was also developer of ESP Ghostscript (ESP GS was by 95 % done by Mike Sweet and me) and so with the ESP GS merger Mike and me got also merged into GPL GS.11:28
Riddellpitti: KDE 3 doesn't seem to need it, and I can't think why it would need it.  KDE 4 I'm almost certain will need it, I'm not sure if it has a way of starting it itself11:30
Riddellpitti: why don't you want the dbus Xsession.d script?11:30
=== glatzor [n=sebi@p54967682.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittiRiddell: if dbus is started from gnome, it gets some additional environment variables that some programs rely on11:32
pittiRiddell: such as gnome-power-manager recognizing the keybindings for the power off button etc.11:32
pittiRiddell: this is of course a bug in those apps, but it's easier to fix like this11:32
pittiRiddell: if KDE4 needs it and doesn't start one on its own, we just need to add dbus-x11 to kubuntu-desktop, or make it a dependency of, say, kdebase11:33

seb128feel free to add it again if it's required11:51
Hobbseeseb128: right. 11:51
seb128Provides should really be versionned11:51
Hobbseeseb128: would have thought a replaces: on the engines gutsy package would suffice, no?11:51
seb128so we would not have to keep all those dummy packages only for upgrades11:52
Hobbseeer, with the dapper version, presumably?  or the version where it changed?11:52
seb128Hobbsee: well, it'll not install gtk-qt-engine when you try to update gtk2-engines-gtk-qt on dapper11:52
pittiseb128: we need dummy packages for upgrades anyway, regardless of versioned provides11:52
seb128pitti: why?11:52
pittiuntil the next LTS11:53
seb128right, because Provides are not versionned11:53
pittiseb128: if you have a installed, and then a is removed from the archive and b Provides: a, then apt- won't automatically install b11:53
Hobbseepitti: then surely that's a bug in apt?11:53
pittiHobbsee: not really IMHO11:53
pittiHobbsee: first, it would be pretty expensive to guess which package to install, and also pretty error prone11:54
Mithrandirpitti: I doubt you'll be able to upgrade without using the dist-upgrader, but no need to make it harder than we have to.11:54
seb128pitti: that's because the provides is not newer than the real package because it's not versionned, no?11:54
pittiHobbsee: for example, if there are several replacements11:54
Hobbseegood point11:54
MithrandirHobbsee: that'd break if I had, say, a custom mta installed locally and apt would continually try to install another one because it didn't see my custom one in a repo.11:54
pittiseb128: no, an upgrade will update the versions of installed pacakges, not install new packages out of thin air11:54
pittiseb128: right, that too11:55
seb128pitti: so the problem is not the versionning, is that we need a new field "deprecates"11:55
pittiseb128: with versioned provides, apt could grab the latest available one, but I'm not sure whether this woudl break anything else11:55
seb128which means "install that package instead of this old one"11:55
=== Keybuk considers an evil plan
seb128I think it's stupid to create zillion of dummy packages for that11:56
pittiseb128: and if two packages deprecate the old one?11:56
KeybukI'm going to modify bzr to send the bazaar folks an e-mail, instead of nagging me about bzr-gtk being out of date11:56
seb128that should really we a package field11:56
pittiseb128: well, keeps us from renaming more pacakges than we really have to :)11:56
HobbseeMithrandir: point11:56
seb128pitti: don't use the "deprecate" then11:56
seb128pitti: there is plenty of case where we keep a dummy package just for upgrade11:56
pittiseb128: it should be something that points from the old package to the new one, not the other way round11:56
seb128that's cluttering the apt index, the archive, etc11:56
pittiseb128: I agree11:57
seb128pitti: the old package you can't update11:57
seb128usually you upload new packages, not old ones ;)11:57
pittiright, that's why we currently use transitional packages :)11:57

tkamppeterpitti, so I have to change the upstream version name for a new SVN release. How are the conventions, so that I can start over with the right versioning scheme?12:40
pittitkamppeter: if the changes are relatively small, doing the svn fixes in debian/patches might be preferable12:40
pittitkamppeter: the other convention would be something like 8.60.dfsg.2 or 8.60.dfsg.1+svn2007052312:41
pittitkamppeter: the latter is more common, but since the old orig.tar.gz has an distro specific suffix anyway (.1) you could just as well increase that12:41
tkamppeterAnd if I go for 8.60.dfsg.1+svn20070523 how should I name the final 8.60 release?12:42
pittitkamppeter: hmm12:43
pittitkamppeter: in retrospective, you should have used 8.60.dfsg~beta1 or so12:43
pittitkamppeter: now, just going to .2 should be fine12:44
pittitkamppeter: oh, btw, what did you have to remove for DFSG compliance?12:44
tkamppeterSo then I will take 8.60.dfsg.1+svn7997 for now and 8.60.dfsg.2 for final?12:45
tkamppeterThis is already done by the Debian folks, they remove Resource/Cmap because they consider that non-free.12:45

pittitkamppeter: yes, that's fine; the final version will be .3 (or .4 or whatever) then?01:06
tkamppeterYes, so with every SVN update I will simply bump that number by 1. So if the final of 8.60 will take some time but we need the bug fixes they do earlier it can end up in 10 or 20 ...01:08
tkamppeterFor later versions I will directly start with something like 8.61~svnXXXX. Can one then use 8.61 for the final?01:09

aquariusIs there some documentation somewhere on what services packages.ubuntu.com provides (i.e., what /cgi-bin/download.pl does, etc)? Or, more particularly, can I jump to "the latest version of vlc in feisty" through some nice URL like p.u.c/feisty/graphics/vlc/download without getting the vlc page and parsing it myself for the deb link?03:00
persiaaquarius: You probably want http://launcpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc03:01
aquariuspersia: ah, not really; what I want to do is point someone at a "download this package by clicking here" link which won't break if there's a patch release.03:01
aquariusSo http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=i386&file=pool%2Funiverse%2Fv%2Fvlc%2Fvlc_0.8.6.release-0ubuntu4_i386.deb&md5sum=f10ad4197a89c79069a7a9eab73a5f0d&arch=i386&type=main (the get-a-deb link from p.u.c) is no good because if there's a new release of that package inside feisty, that link won't be to the most recent version.03:02

ogra-classmatethe fun stuff is that its apparently read by the initscript04:21

ogra-classmatewell, i'm on a swpless system04:21
ogra-classmateand try to get the last out of the ram04:22
Keybukogra-classmate: where have you found this TMPFS_SIZE variable?04:22
ogra-classmateits mentioned in /etc/default/tmpfs04:22
Keybukif there's too much in /var/run or /var/lock, limiting the size won't help you -- that'll just break the boot04:22
Keybukit is?04:22
Keybukonly SHMFS_SIZE is mentioned there for me04:22
ogra-classmateand apparently thats sourced by the initscripts04:22
tkamppeterpitti, everything of ghostscript has successfully built now. Thank you.04:23
mjg59Keybuk: # SHM_SIZE sets the maximum size (in bytes) that the /dev/shm tmpfs can use.04:23
mjg59# If this is not set then the size defaults to the value of TMPFS_SIZE04:23
mjg59# if that is set; otherwise to the kernel's default.04:23
mjg59(feisty)04:23
cjwatsonmc44: ubuntu-meta is usually good enough if they're the Ubuntu seeds (otherwise substitute as appropriate)04:23
Keybukright, SHMFS_SIZE sets the size of /dev/shm04:23
ogra-classmateright, thats what i have as well04:23
KeybukI can only see it get used by that04:24
mjg59Right, but it implies that there's a TMPFS_SIZE that can be set somewhere04:24
Keybukthat does indeed refer to a TMPFS_SIZE which is defined to "" in the same init script04:24

KeybukI don't think it's useful to limit the size of /var/run or /var/lock though04:24

Keybuk? there is no mountvirtsubfs04:25
mc44cjwatson: thanks04:25
ogra-classmatewell, if its not allocated before usage i dont care much, but the variable not being used seems inconsistent04:25
Keybukit makes sense to limit /dev/shm, since that's POSIX shared memory04:25
Keybukand there's a defined behaviour for that being unavailable04:25
ogra-classmateKeybuk: devsubfs indeed04:25
Keybukif you limit the size of /dev, /var/run or /var/lock, you just break important things04:26
desrttmpfs mounts default to half of physical memory04:26
ogra-classmateyeah, so lets drop the variable 04:26
Keybukogra-classmate: I think the variable has largely been dropped, and one instance of it was missed :p04:26
ogra-classmateits just confusing and makes you think you can influence anything with it04:26
ogra-classmatewell, fine then :)04:27
Keybukotoh, it would make sense to limit the size of /tmp, if we mounted that as a tmpfs04:27
desrtKeybuk; if you're gonna do that, please write something in the login-without-free-space blueprint04:27
desrtKeybuk; since that would trivialise that entire spec :)04:28
Keybukdesrt: do which?04:28
desrtKeybuk; there's a spec from uds for logging in when all free space is used04:28
desrtKeybuk; gdm falls back to writing xauthority into /tmp.  we're creating /var/overflow (1MB tmpfs) for it to write into.04:28
desrtKeybuk; if /tmp is tmpfs (and not, say, part of a filled /) then we can just leave it in /tmp04:28
desrti think some apps do stuff like generate iso images and .wav files for CD burning in /tmp, though :)04:30

desrtcjwatson; an interesting idea... but i suspect xauthority is created after the permissions drop04:35
cjwatsonthere is no possible reason why /var/overflow can be superior to /var/run04:35
desrtcjwatson; but it's worth checking out04:35
cjwatsoneither can be filled up maliciously in exactly the same ways04:36
cjwatsonaside from the blatant FHS violation04:36
desrtbut 99.9% of the time if you fill /var/overflow nobody will care04:36
desrtit's merely a fallback04:36
desrtit's only used if every last block of space is occupied in ~04:36
cjwatsonit is still a bogus name04:36
desrti agree04:36
cjwatsonalso, 83.6% of statistics are made up on the spot ;-)04:37
desrti'll look into the gdm-group xauthority thing04:37
desrtcjwatson; fwiw, the real number is more than 99.9% :p04:37
cjwatsonhaving had to fix bemused people's systems when their root filesystem filled up, I disagree04:37
desrtfewer than 1 in 1000 logins will fail due to there being exactly 0 blocks free on the partition that holds ~ :)04:37
cjwatsonit may be numerically small, but the impact is large04:38

seb128how did you fix it?05:32

keescookdesrt: sure! wup?05:40

desrtwhen you push security updates, why don't you merely push the single binary package that is actually affected by the issue instead of all of the binary packages from the source package that was affected?05:40
=== mthaddon [n=mthaddon@canonical/launchpad/mthaddon] has joined #ubuntu-devel
keescookdesrt: as I understand it, it's a limitation of Debian packaging.  pitti may be able to answer better than me.05:41
desrtseems like something that it might be worth fixing05:42
pittidesrt: that would mean that we would need to support a concept of multiple current source versions05:42
pitti(and binary)05:42
desrtpitti; or a concept of equivalent binary version05:42
pittidesrt: nope, you cannot assume that they are equivalent05:42
desrtpitti; or a concept of binary versions != source versions05:42
pittimerely rebuilding a source package can lead to binaries with different behaviour05:43
pitti(different toolchain, different library ABIs you build against, etc)05:43
desrtit's true... but probably not in a security-update context....05:43
pittidesrt: sadly it is05:43
desrtthe platform is quite stable by this time05:43
pittidesrt: because we do not rebuild the entire archive against itself right before release05:43
desrtoh.05:43
desrtright.  good point.05:43
pittiso the binaries in a stable release might be built against an older toolchain, etc.05:44
mdzdesrt: all of the binaries need to be built by the same source, to preserve sanity05:44
