LaserJockmy thoughts exactly09:23
LaserJockwell, I've managed to "Incomplete" almost all of gcompris' 24 bugs09:24
LaserJockI gotta do a whole lota bug work to get anywhere close to crimsun's karma09:26
LaserJock;-)09:26
FujitsuDamn, I'm only 8th on the bug karma rank.09:28
FujitsuI haven't touched more than a few bugs in the past couple of weeks, I guess.09:28

FujitsuLaserJock: Broken anything in main yet?09:32
LaserJockno09:32
ajmitchif he hasn't, he's not trying hard enough09:32
crimsunyeah, that's your real test ;-)09:32
LaserJockI'm working on triaging some bugs09:33
FujitsuBah, evil mayavi maintainer. Let's all use /usr/bin/python2.4 in our postinsts, and depend on python.09:33
LaserJockheh09:33
LaserJockso what's Confirmed supposed to be now?09:33
FujitsuWhatever Triaged isn't.09:33
LaserJockheh, ok09:33
FujitsuBut nobody uses Triaged, because nobody's sure what it's for, and it isn't shown by default because somebody screwed up.09:34
=== Lure [n=lure@ubuntu/member/lure] has joined #ubuntu-motu
=== LaserJock decides to set a bug as "Triaged"
crimsunthat's...bloody.09:34
Fujitsucrimsun: Um?09:35
crimsun(I couldn't think of a word to proceed "bloody", so I just omitted.)09:35
FujitsuEven so: Um?09:35
crimsunwhat's the use of Triaged if nobody's sure what it's for?09:35
LaserJockbecause we're "supposed" to know what it's for09:36
LaserJockour great bug overlords will enlighten us09:36
crimsunwait, aren't you our liaison to LP?09:36
ajmitchthis is what we call working with the community09:36
Fujitsu"Triaged will mean that a bug has all the information attached to it that a developer needs to fix it. The 'confirmed' state was previously used for this purpose, but many users were 'confirming' bugs when observed by a second person."09:36
Fujitsuajmitch: Yep, they're really neat like that.09:36
FujitsuIt's also neat how they notify their userbase of these changes.09:37
LaserJockcrimsun: ssssshhh, don't bring that up09:37
Fujitsu-devel-discuss was the only place notified prior to the change... Not even launchpad-users.09:37
LaserJockwell, I tell yeah. I was pretty "surprised" and not necessarily in a good way09:38
LaserJockI'm the MOTU liason to LP, I was at Sevilla, and talked with kiko and BjornT about status changes09:38
LaserJockand I had no idea that they were going to do that09:38
DarkMageZFujitsu, please don't fight the dictionary... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/confirmed09:38
FujitsuApparently they felt that UDS BoFs were enough community discussion.09:39
LaserJockI was only aware of a Rejected -> Invalid, Won't Fix09:39
DarkMageZFujitsu, maybe there should be a "confirmed" which would indicate that others can replicate and something else that marks that there is enough information for devs.09:39
FujitsuDarkMageZ: I think that's what it's meant to mean now.09:39
DarkMageZoh, misread :P09:40
FujitsuAnyway, I hope the LP people have realised that a lot of people are most displeased at the lack of notification or discussion with the userbase. With any luck it'll improve in future.09:41
LaserJockwell, I keep pushing for more "Tell us *before* it happens" but well, I haven't seen a lot of it09:42
LaserJockit took forever to get an announcement on launchpad-users09:42
LaserJockRevell really needs to get on top of those, IMO09:43
FujitsuThey probably thought it'd be a nice surprise for all their project maintainers to have any external tools broken and statuses renamed without notice.09:43
FujitsuThat is mrevell's job, isn't it?09:43
LaserJockyes09:44
LaserJockwell, I'm sure it's not easy. Hopefully there was enough frustration with this status thing to get things changed a bit09:45
LaserJockperhaps new.launchpad.net will help09:46
LaserJockalthough if they can't say anything until it's been release then that's an issue09:46

Fujitsu*LP's growing Debian bug imports in 1.1.7, I believe.09:50
FujitsuOuch.09:50
ajmitchit'll only have to rsync a fraction of that09:50
FujitsuIt'd be nice if Malone also imported some kind of priority information.09:51
ajmitchsome new indexes though09:51

ajmitchit'd be nice if malone got some version tracking & bug dependencies, too09:51

ajmitchit's only a fairly recent feature in debbugs09:53
LaserJockwhat do you mean?09:53
Fujitsuajmitch: Right, but it grew that feature, so it must be useful.09:53
ajmitchLaserJock: it's what I'm using for this rc bugs list - a bug is found in package version X, fixed in version Y09:54
talex_Is anyone free to review the zeroinstall-injector package? I uploaded 0.28 a while back, but it didn't get any comments. Then 0.29 came out and I uploaded a package for that: http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=567009:54

FujitsuMalone is good at some things, but it lacks some features (like dependencies and versioning) that makes debbugs useful.09:57
FujitsuAnd the lack of priorities on Debian bug imports will limit the usefulness.09:58
LaserJockwell, I can't remember what the rationale for not doing versions was09:59
FujitsuProbably it'd make the UI too complicated, or something like that.09:59
LaserJockbut knowing what version we fix something in is very useful09:59
ajmitchprobably that a package version was distro-specific09:59
ajmitchso you'd need to match distro/version, and it'd complicate things with bug tasks on multiple distros10:00
FujitsuWe're going to need that feature eventually.10:00
=== ajmitch shrugs
LaserJockwell, tbh, I just don't know how having multiple distros on the same bug tracker is really ever going to work very well10:01
FujitsuEspecially because LP is closed and controlled by a company with an obvious interest in one particular distro. Other distros would have to be crazy to use it.10:02

RAOFBad upstream, no biscuit.02:33
RAOFYou might want to just repack the tarball, no?02:34
jekilthe source that i can download are these02:35
stgraberIn that case you can take the .tar.gz from them, remove the .svn dir, then repack it and put a line like "Removed all .svn from original .tar.gz + repacked" in the changelog02:35
stgraberat least that's how I recently did with a .tar.gz from upstream containing .git dirs02:35
jekilok, thanks02:36
jekili am asking here because i read in all documentation "you can't modify orig.tar.gz"02:36
stgraberwell, if you want to modify the source code or things like that you have to use patches, but removing repository dirs or existing debian/ dirs are ok as soon as you say so in the changelog02:37

Adri2000we upload the orig.tar.gz only when it's a new upstream version, when it's just a change to the packaging, we don't. but the size and the md5sum of the orig.tar.gz are written in the .dsc. therefore, even if we do not upload the orig.tar.gz, the upload can be rejected saying "md5sum mismatch of the orig tarball". that what would have happened if an archive admin had tried to process your sync request : the md5sum written in the debian .dsc 06:03
Adri2000and a fakesync is, basically: get the debian package, replace the debian orig tarball with our orig tarball, recreate the source package so that the .dsc contains the size and the md5sum of our orig tarball06:05

AndyPpersia: looks quite clean at first glance06:48
persiaAndyP: In that case, I'd recommend just modifying the files as you need for your packaging purposes (aligning with upstream regarding debhelper vs. CDBS, etc. is often also a good idea), and adding a debian/README.Debian-source reporting that upstream ships a debian/ directory, and you have modified is considerably.06:50

=== _MMA1 [n=mma@cpe-071-070-203-016.nc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu

jussi01if it helps06:54
AndyPpersia: ok, noted06:55
persiajussi01: Ah.  In this case, we're both correct.  If mnemosyne is to be a new replacement for memaid, I'm correct.  If it is intended to be a parallel install, ScottK is correct.  I'd recommend contacting both upstreams and the Debian memaid maintainer to get input on whether memaid is still a useful package and maintained as open-source.  If it is, the you probably want a parallel installation, so follow ScottK's advice.  If not, and the packages06:58
=== persia dislikes buffers
persiaIf it is, the you probably want a parallel installation, so follow ScottK's advice.  If not, and the packages are broadly the same (likely, with that much code similarity), and the Debian maintainer agrees, replacement is probably a good idea.  If you're still unsure after investigating, send a mail to ubuntu-motu@l.u.c asking for more opinions and including the results of your research.06:58

jussi01aha...good point...07:04

ScottKpersia: I think it's not.  I think it's more like Seamonkey/Firefox.07:05

ScottKYou've got essentially a new program that provides the same function as the old one, but with a substantially different code base.07:06
ScottKpersia: In this case I think the user base is likely small enough that it's safe just to let it install in parallel and not sweat it.07:07
persiaScottK: No so substantially different.  The APIs are the same, and a large number of files distributed in memaid are earlier versions (by the mnemosyne author) of the files in mnemosyne.07:07
=== zul_ [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c1-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu
ScottKRight, but we install them (I think) in different locations so there is no actual conflict.07:07
persiaScottK: In general, I prefer to dispose of older packages that are no longer maintained upstream, if there is a current open codebase for essentially the same thing.07:08

=== CarlF1 [n=carl@adsl-75-57-182-186.dsl.emhril.sbcglobal.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
persiaScottK: That's true.  Perhaps a transition release?  Both for gutsy, and move to only mnemosyne for gutsy+1?  The issue here is that nobody is fixing bugs in memaid (except, maybe, the Debian maintainer).07:08
ScottKpersia: I agree.  I think the right thing to do here is let them install in parallel and then at some point in the future file a removal request for memaid (that would be when I'd make mnemosyne replace memaid).07:08
ScottKRight.07:09

jussi01ok, Im heading out to the shop. Thank you ScottK and persia.07:12
persiaAh.  memaid is maintained by Debian QA: they would probably be happy to drop the package, with a reasonable replacement.07:12
ScottKYes.07:13
AndyPpersia: should i mention all of my changes to the upstream debian/* files or would "* Packaged for Ubuntu based on upstream's debian dir (Fixes LP #120213)" be sufficient?07:14

AndyPsince it's pretty much the initial packaging, i don't think the detail matters too much really07:16
persiaAndyP: That's probably sufficient for a start.  I'd recommend also adding additional entries if you need to apply any patches, need to make any significant changes to install locations, or need to change how the package is split into multiple binaries (if this applies), etc.  This way whoever updates to the next new upstream will have an easier time.07:16
AndyPpersia: right, makes sense07:17
ScottKAndyP: I think that minimally it's OK, but that it'd be nice for whoever looks at the package later to be able to at least generally reconstruct what you did and why.07:18
persiaAndyP: Also, I agree that the details of the specific changes against upstream debian/ are not important: but the details of any of your work beyond the standard generate some files and watch it work are important.07:18
ScottKpersia: Are you OK with mnemosyne as is?  There's a comment from dholbach that he uploaded it, but I don't see that he actually did.07:18
persiaScottK: AndyP has already requested upstream to delete debian/.  Do we need to track local changes to this inthe changelog pending upstream removing it (if they are willing)?07:19
persiaScottK: It got rejected by the archive admins due to copyright confusion with memaid.  The package is fine, but it needs research and documentation to build sufficient case for inclusion in the archive.07:19
ScottKOnce you know it's going away, I'd say no, but in the meantime, I think it's good.07:19
ScottKpersia: OK.07:20
persiaScottK: OK07:20
ScottKSo far when I've asked upstream to remove debian dir, they always say no.07:20

ScottKOTOH, the guy that I've had trouble with does very good debian dirs, so it's not a big problem.  Mostly I just have to swap out debian/changelog.07:25
persiaScottK: That's probably why.  The ones I've seen needed significant changes (different package split, not using debian/patches for upstream changes, using an upstream Makefile instead of debian/rules, etc.).07:27
AndyPto be fair i've only given the upstream author 4 days to reply so far but i've been looking for an excuse to de-rustify my packaging skills and even if i get it packaged nicely i'll wait a few more days before uploading it to REVU07:28
persiaAndyP: No need to wait on REVU.  If you're expecting a new upstream soon (or hoping for one), please add comment stating that this is not a candidate for upload, just a candidate for review.  This way you can collect more comments that might get into the new upstream (copyright seems most common for this).07:30
AndyPpersia: ah great, that'll be very useful :)07:33

AndyPthis package is currently installing a png and using it as the menu icon but lintian says it should be an xpm - should i convert it and put the xpm in the debian dir or is there some small png->xpm tool i could build-depend on and use during the build?08:40

crimsunoh, while you're here, I noticed that ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf is written on every combobox activation11:37

tsmitheit is? oh... that needs fixing11:38
crimsunthat seems a bit excessive IMO.11:38
tsmitheyep11:38
crimsunwhat I do is enable "Apply"  ("Close" in the -gtk case, it seems) only upon activation, and then clicking Apply invokes the writeConf() method, which will then disable the Apply pushbutton upon writeConf()'s success11:39
tsmitheyes, but i want it to be always closable with that button, and i'd like to ensure that the changes are applied when that button is pressed11:40

crimsunif it turns out that KDE apps do have Quit, then I'll just rewire the logic11:43
tsmitheheh - it's not like it's particularly tricky :)11:44
crimsunit's better UI, anyhow, but I don't want to kill consistency11:44
