| persia | superm1: Sorry. The bit about debian/README.Debian-source apparently was recently changed (I was looking at 3.3.7). The sentence changed from "must contain detailed information how the repackaged source was obtained, and how this can be reproduced, in README.Debian-source or a similar file" to "must contain detailed information how the repackaged source was obtained, and how this can be reproduced in the debian/copyright.".

| superm1_ | ah not a big deal persia. thanks for double checking on that | 12:42 |
| superm1_ | was there a second half to that statement though, you left it at "My apologies, and" | 12:42 |
| === persia dislikes buffers and intended to end with "My apologies, and you probably want to fix debian/copyright :)", but hadn't actually looked at REVU to validate that statement. | ||
| superm1_ | Ah. debian/copyright does not describe that it was gathered from revu atm, but there is a X-Vcs-Bzr | 12:43 |
| superm1_ | in debian/control | 12:43 |
| superm1_ | i wasn't positive if that would be considered adequate | 12:44 |
| superm1_ | an identical method was used in my previous upload, mythbuntu-default-settings | 12:45 |
| superm1_ | actually the same debian/copyright | 12:45 |
| persia | superm1: Not according to the Developers Reference 3.3.9, but there's heaps of things in the archive that don't follow that yet (and I've been recommending debian/README.Debian-source until now). For the older stuff, consider cleanup when you have time. For new stuff, put it in debian/copyright. | 12:47 |
| superm1_ | will do. | 12:47 |
| superm1_ | persia, this is very good that you're helping to make more apps compliant :) | 12:47 |
| tristanbob | why is there no #ubuntu-security channel? | 12:49 |

| superm1_ | i'll re-uplaod with a small bit in debian/copyright before i grab another revu from someone | 12:49 |
| keescook | tristanbob: generally we just talk about it in here. | 12:49 |
| keescook | what're you wondering? | 12:49 |
| tristanbob | I believe that vino encrypts the password with DES, but doesn't encrypt the session - is this still true? | 12:50 |
| === minghua [n=minghua@ubuntu/member/minghua] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| tristanbob | keescook: also, vnc authentication is a single 8 character pasword, no username - correct? | 12:52 |
| === Bassetts [n=Bassetts@unaffiliated/bassetts] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| keescook | tristanbob: right, I'm pretty sure the session is still not encrypted. | 12:55 |
| tristanbob | ok - thanks - I am going to blog about it | 12:56 |
| superm1_ | tristanbob, if you would like the session encrypted, look into the -via switch of vncviewer | 12:57 |
| superm1_ | you can tunnel the session through ssh easily with it | 12:57 |
| tristanbob | superm1: how easy? | 12:58 |
| tristanbob | I am aware of the technique | 12:58 |
| tristanbob | but why is it not in the gui? | 12:58 |
| superm1_ | i'm not sure why it's not in the gui | 12:58 |
| tristanbob | ubuntu is supposed to "just work" | 12:58 |
| superm1_ | i use it daily though | 12:58 |
| superm1_ | like this: vncviewer localhost:0 -via uesr@HOST | 12:59 |
| superm1_ | that will connect to an ssh server on port 22 of the machine host, and forward its :0 session of VNC | 12:59 |

| === minghua also knows that his own packages are not VCS maintained in Ubuntu. | ||
| persia | minghua: Maybe, but my dream would also involve patching apt to only verify I really want to download when it is an Ubuntu VCS, and the transition would take a while... | 01:18 |
| minghua | So if an Ubuntu users follow those VCS links, he/she will be surprised. | 01:18 |
| persia | minghua: In some cases (and it's not currently clear which). | 01:18 |
| minghua | persia: Are you talking about tools like Daniel's "bzr unpack"? I am not familiar with those. | 01:19 |
| persia | minghua: Even just apt (try apt-get source for something with VCS links) | 01:20 |

| persia | minghua: Ah. Good point. | 03:39 |
| ScottK | IIRC there was a change in the postinst in there. | 03:39 |
| minghua | I agree it's worth trying reinstalling the old version and try upgrading again though, if someone wants to hunt it down. | 03:40 |
| minghua | But I'm not going to bother. | 03:40 |
| minghua | Unless it's my package, of course. | 03:40 |
| sistpoty | imo it doesn't matter that much if the upgrade path from feisty -> gutsy is fine | 03:40 |
| minghua | These problems are just too common in development branch. | 03:40 |
| ScottK | Yes. | 03:40 |

| ScottK | Debian did it newal=`which newaliases || true` - Dunno what difference that makes. | 03:43 |
| sistpoty | ScottK: shouldn't make a real difference imo, given the [ -x $newal ] | 03:45 |
| ScottK | When I merged 0.90.3-2ubuntu1 I used the Debian version. Not sure why you didn't get that. | 03:45 |
| persia | Doesn't postinst run under -e? If this gets passed to the subshell, you'll break in the subshell, rather than coming back to postinst and finding the || true | 03:46 |
| minghua | persia: Sorry, I should have said "my Debian package". | 03:46 |
| persia | minghua: No worries :) | 03:46 |
| ScottK | persia: Dunno. That's why I ask. shwarma came up with the Ubuntu version of the change. | 03:47 |
| minghua | ScottK: I think without '|| true', when newaliases is not in $PATH, postinst will fail. | 03:48 |
| minghua | Yep. for example: | 03:50 |
| minghua | $ which non-existent; echo $? | 03:50 |

| minghua | sistpoty: With || true, it won't fail. I am assuming the debdiff is from current Ubuntu package to another one. | 03:53 |
| sistpoty | I thought it would have been from my previous version to newer one... but it shouldn't fail anyway when retrying the new debdiff (in case the old failed= | 03:55 |

| minghua | ScottK: I see. Then that diff shouldn't cause any problem. But is there a similar change in postrm? | 03:56 |
| ScottK | The postinst does 'set -e' | 03:56 |

| ScottK | postrm does not attempt to remove the alias, so it doesn't come up. | 03:57 |

| === persia thinks that's a bug - purging a package should clean up everything | ||
| === ScottK would tend to think so, but the policy does not appear to be clear. | ||
| ScottK | persia: Go read the policy on purging. It just talks about files. | 03:59 |
| === ScottK agrees, but has been told this is a controversial matter in Debian. | ||
| minghua | ScottK: Before I go grabbing the package -- why -1ubuntu1 and -1ubuntu2? I see -2ubuntu1 already in archive. | 03:59 |
| persia | ScottK: I know. The reason for this is that it's really hard to implement dropping users and groups in a safe manner, as they may own files that are not purge targets (tmpfiles, logfiles, etc.) | 04:00 |

| ScottK | minghua: That's another question I had for sistpoty. | 04:00 |
| minghua | Okay, then it's a bad report against old packages. :-P | 04:01 |
| ScottK | sistpoty: Not all the upgrade bugs I saw had kernel errors in them. I may have duped a real issue to the kernel bug thinking it was all the same. | 04:01 |

| sistpoty | ScottK: btw.: current version on my mirror is "clamav-freshclam 0.90.3-2ubuntu1"... I won't look at dpkg.log again, promised ;) | 04:04 |
| ScottK | So you were upgrading to 0.90.3-2ubuntu1 when you got the error? | 04:04 |
| sistpoty | yep | 04:05 |
| ScottK | let me go check the diff for that one. | 04:05 |
| sistpoty | from $unknown_version probably a few (4-8) weeks old | 04:05 |
| sistpoty | or let's rather say I was on gutsy already *g* | 04:06 |
| ScottK | We may have a winner. Give me a moment to pastebin the diff. | 04:07 |
| minghua | sistpoty: Should be from 3-1ubuntu2 according to your dpkg.log. | 04:07 |
| ScottK | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29880 | 04:08 |
| minghua | (as your last upgrade was from -1ubuntu1 to -1ubuntu2) | 04:08 |
| ScottK | Debian came up with that one all by themselves. Any thoughts? | 04:08 |
| persia | Is it just me, or is $min not actually defined before use? | 04:09 |
| minghua | persia: It's just a diff, starting from line #107, no less. | 04:09 |
| === ScottK notices line 5 of the paste and wonders. | ||
| persia | minghua: True. Line 106 might be a definition for $min, but line 107 is a commented out definition for $min, which makes me suspicious. | 04:10 |
| minghua | Yeah, didn't see the commented-out line, sorry. | 04:10 |

| jorgerosa | Can anyone compile this for us, please, to .DEB file? | 04:17 |
| jorgerosa | https://i-team.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/i-team/branches/doddiiteam/ | 04:17 |

| persia | !paste | jorgerosa | 04:17 |
| ubotu | jorgerosa: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 04:17 |
| ScottK | Should have clamav 0.91-1 from Debian very soon, so I'll find out. | 04:17 |
| ScottK | If there's still an upgrade problem. | 04:17 |
| persia | jorgerosa: You'll probably do best to create a needs-packaging bug in LP. There's a fair bit of work that needs doing to make that into a debian-format package. | 04:18 |
| jorgerosa | ok | 04:19 |
| persia | jorgerosa: Also, to reduce packaging hassle later, it would be ideal if you could include the relevant license for the software in your repository. ./COPYING is common, as is ./LICENSE | 04:20 |
| jorgerosa | persia: Im sorry guys, im not a coder (coders r away right now), im only windows pro, sorry there :( | 04:24 |
| persia | jorgerosa: No problems. It would be great to get your software into Ubuntu, and it's really nice when software is written to work for both Windows and Linux (even more points for Mac OS X, other BSDs, etc.). Would you might letting the developers know that a license for the code would be preferred (as otherwise we can't distribute). | 04:26 |

| Fujitsu | I was like `Oh, crap... this doesn't look good' | 05:14 |
| Amaranth | haha | 05:14 |
| persia | ScottK: Separately, do you think "last merger", "last uploader", and "last person to patch" are three different concepts, or just different facets of the same thing? | 05:14 |
| ScottK | Facets of the same thing. Whoever touched it last. Otherwise it gets too complex. | 05:15 |
| ScottK | There are exceptions. I wouldn't count rebuilds. | 05:15 |
| Fujitsu | Gaaaaah, mail server doesn't like me sending that many. | 05:15 |
| Amaranth | haha | 05:15 |
| persia | ScottK: Hmm.. I wonder. I've sent a few rebuilds in, for which I would have no idea how to process a merge, but which helped with library transitions, etc. I'm also not sure about spelling corrections, .desktop files, dependency adjustments, etc. | 05:15 |
| Amaranth | looks like spam | 05:15 |
| === ceros [n=user@c-76-111-84-156.hsd1.va.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ScottK | persia: Yes, but then there have been cases where I fixed bugs that I wanted to make sure didn't get lost in the next merge. | 05:16 |
| ScottK | The problem is how do you decide. | 05:16 |
| minghua | To copy a wiki page, no better way than just create an empty new page, press "edit" of old page, then copy and paste. Right? | 05:16 |
| persia | ScottK: Yes. I've had those (even in one case, where a .desktop file installation (but not the file itself) was dropped in a merge) | 05:17 |
| ScottK | I also think take backs after someone steals your package are fair. | 05:17 |
| Fujitsu | ScottK: In that case two wrongs do make a right. | 05:17 |
| === persia doesn't agree with the concept of package ownership | ||
| ScottK | Not ownership, but the one that knows it best. | 05:17 |
| === tristanbob_ [n=tristan@oalug/member/tristanbob] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ScottK | The first time you have to merge a package it takes a while to reall grok the merge. After that it gets easier and the error rate gets lower. | 05:18 |
| TheMuso | Personally, the only packages I'd rather people not touch unless tey have asked me, are accessibility/speech packages. | 05:18 |
| TheMuso | they even | 05:18 |
| ScottK | People doing the same package consistently will give better quality. | 05:19 |
| persia | Perhaps I need to be more clear. When a good patch (or very intrusive patch, etc.) is made, the person making that patch is a good person with whom to discuss the implications. For many fixes, it seems better to just apply the fix. Merges are a little special, in my book, as there are usually undocumented justifications for the Debian diff. | 05:19 |
| === javier_galicia_ [n=Javier@189.130.231.178] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ScottK | Team maintenance has advantages and disadvantages. Consistency in doing the merges helps with the disadvantages. | 05:20 |
| persia | TheMuso: Really? How about someone correcting some spelling in a translation, etc. | 05:20 |
| TheMuso | persia: Well thats different, but most of the packages I work with don't carry a lot of that stuff, in Universe at least. | 05:20 |
| persia | ScottK: Yes! That's why we need some documentation: it improves consistency. | 05:20 |
| ScottK | Documenation is great. I'm not opposed to it. | 05:21 |
| minghua | <sarcastic>Documentation is great as long as I am not required to write them.</sarcastic> | 05:21 |
| ScottK | The person doing the merge being familiar with the package also improves consistency. | 05:22 |
| ScottK | I even write it sometimes. | 05:22 |
| ScottK | documentation that is. | 05:22 |
| persia | TheMuso: Ah. Depends on the package, I guess. I've just had a couple contributors ask me because they didn't expect a merge for their two-line patch for something small (the case where it's too hard), but I also don't see any reason that a developer who usually follows a package shouldn't adopt without too much coordination with the author of the two line patch. | 05:22 |
| persia | ScottK: Yes, although familiarity != last to touch necessarily. | 05:23 |
| ScottK | That's true. | 05:23 |
| ScottK | The problem is give me an algorithm that useable for most familiar? | 05:23 |
| ScottK | Last to touch is excessively simplistic, but executable. | 05:23 |
| persia | ScottK: Exactly :) I think that's the discussion AndyP is starting, which would be a good thing (but I need to think more before I have any suggestions). | 05:24 |
| ScottK | Last to touch plus some comments about take backs when appropriate would get us pretty well there. | 05:24 |
| ScottK | The real problem is people who don't even bother to ask when there's no reason they can't. | 05:24 |
| TheMuso | But the biggest problem is the fact that people just go and do the merge. | 05:25 |
| persia | ScottK: Also, should we follow last-to-touch for only merges, or for any uploads? If I'm just rebuilding, how should I indicate that I don't want last-to-touch (except perhaps for the 10 days or so after the rebuild)? | 05:25 |
| TheMuso | ScottK: yep | 05:25 |
| persia | TheMuso: Yes. Exactly. And then we need to fix them :( | 05:25 |
| TheMuso | Yep. | 05:25 |
| ScottK | persia: If the changelog has the word build in the Debian revision, it doesn't count. | 05:25 |
| persia | On the other hand, I've had a few merges done this cycle that were helpful, did the right thing, and happened entirely while I slept, which I found convenient. | 05:26 |
| TheMuso | ScottK: Aye. I have recently been syncing a lot of doko's rebuilds that were on MoM. | 05:26 |
| === Fujitsu complains that nobody has stolen azureus yet. | ||
| persia | ScottK: How about -38-ubuntu6, where the last 5 were rebuilds? | 05:26 |
| persia | Fujitsu: I thought I saw a sync request today. That should clear the last-touched bit :) | 05:26 |
| Fujitsu | persia: Really? | 05:26 |
| === Fujitsu looks. | ||
| ScottK | No automated algorithm will be both executable and cover all cases. | 05:26 |
| TheMuso | persia: I thought rebuilds only were buildx versioning. | 05:27 |
| persia | ScottK: Yep. We need to find a best practice. | 05:27 |
| Fujitsu | That'll never get accepted... There are Ubuntu changes. | 05:27 |
| Fujitsu | Though it might be best to just start afresh. | 05:27 |
| persia | TheMuso: Yes, but we don't use -1ubuntu1build1, preferring instead -1ubuntu2. | 05:27 |
| === ScottK hopes AndyP is taking notes. | ||
| TheMuso | persia: Oh for ubuntu modified packages, sure. | 05:27 |

| teer2 | Hello all - thanks for your continued hard work keeping the packages maintained. I used Synaptic to install Democracy Player - as always, smooth install, but the version is (in some ways) not compatible with their servers since it is a few revs behind. I was wondering where the responsibility falls to get updates into Synaptic? Should I go poke the Democracy Player developers to get something to the Ubuntu MOTU folk, or how does th | 05:34 |
| ScottK | Sent. He's also the one that got pissy about stealing merges. | 05:34 |
| ScottK | gpocentek: How was that? | 05:36 |
| TheMuso | ScottK: Out of the contributers we are working with, there are one or two who I feel aren't working with the rest of the MOTU team, andrea being one of those. | 05:36 |
| persia | teer2: You'll do best to open a bug report in LP. If the gutsy DP isn't compatible with the servers, it'll likely get fixed really soon. If a released version isn't compatible, we'll need to work out a plan to keep up to date, which might take a while, but a bug is still the best way to start. | 05:36 |
| === ScottK agrees. | ||
| teer2 | persia: I am running Feisty - if that makes a difference. Eagerly awaiting the Gusty release! | 05:37 |
| ScottK | !backports | teer2 | 05:37 |
| ubotu | teer2: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 05:37 |
| persia | Personally, I'd like to see those applying to become MOTU demonstrate more work with those still learning, to demonstrate the ability to provide strong solutions. | 05:37 |
| TheMuso | persia: Thats not a bad idea at all. I like it. | 05:37 |
| ScottK | Personally, I'm still stunned I got in. | 05:37 |
| TheMuso | ScottK: You shouldn't be. | 05:38 |
| teer2 | ScottK: Ooooh, I see! Thanks. | 05:38 |
| persia | ScottK: Isn't "the released version isn't compatible with the servers" a sufficient bug for -updates? Perhaps we need a special ubuntu-DP server, or closer coordination with upstream. | 05:38 |
| ScottK | Shouldn't be stunned or shouldn't have gotten in. | 05:38 |
| TheMuso | ScottK: Shouldn't be stunned, sorry. | 05:38 |
| ScottK | persia: Then make a patch with just the changed that makes it compatible with the servers. That would qualify for updates. | 05:39 |
| TheMuso | I haven't worked with andrea this period. | 05:39 |
| persia | ScottK: You spent months helping everyone get python packages in line, did a whole bunch of packages (mostly correctly, and all correctly after a bit), and were very active in the community. I don't think it was a real question (which is how it should be). | 05:39 |
| TheMuso | Probably because he got annoyed at my comments. | 05:39 |
| ScottK | persia and TheMuso thanks. | 05:39 |
| persia | ScottK: Right. I don't know enough about it and don't use it, but I'm guessing a bug is the way to get started (at least it would be for a package I know something about) | 05:39 |
| ScottK | Yes. | 05:40 |
| ScottK | But this reminds me, I was going to test build the new gnash for backports tonight. I better get on that. | 05:40 |
| teer2 | fyi, I get this error message when trying to add a DP channel: "To subscribe to this channel, you need Democracy Player. | 05:40 |
| teer2 | Don't have Democracy Player installed? Download it now..." That doesn't happen on all the channels, btw. DP otherwise functions normally. | 05:40 |

| Fujitsu | ScottK: They're not working to improve the use case where there is no upstream product defined, AFAIK. | 05:49 |
| ScottK | Ah. Well that's pretty useless then. | 05:49 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Does the upstream link code not work for you? I agree it's a little frustrating to set up for a new package, but I think it works nicely once it's set up (e.g. most of GNOME or KDE). | 05:49 |
| ScottK | Of course that use case wouldn't help the world domination plan. | 05:50 |

| Fujitsu | If I'm plowing through hundreds of bugs, I really can't be bothered registering a couple of hundred new products. | 05:50 |
| persia | Now I'm confused. Personally, I don't understand it, but I've seen RainCT register upstream bugtrackers for at least 10 packages, so it clearly doesn't either require special permissions, or require secret knowledge | 05:51 |
| Fujitsu | In Debian, you just tag it forwarded. | 05:51 |
| Fujitsu | persia: It takes a lot more time than just tagging it. | 05:51 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Ah. I see. Yes, for 1000 bugs, it's annoying. | 05:51 |
| Fujitsu | We have 6500 bugs over several thousand packages, with maybe a hundred or less of those having projects registered. | 05:51 |
| === persia wonders if registering upstream bugtrackers would be a good additional task for bugsquad. | ||
| persia | Does anyone know if BugSquad has policy meetings, or where, or when? | 05:52 |
| === ScottK ponders persia establishing an ubuntu-upstream-bugtracker-registration team. | ||
| Fujitsu | I don't think so, persia. | 05:52 |
| Fujitsu | ScottK: Hah, that'd be nice. | 05:52 |
| persia | ScottK: It's not worth registering a team. I'll just ping Mr. QA during the week, and update the wiki. | 05:52 |
| ScottK | persia: Just ping bdmurray on #ubuntu-bugs. | 05:52 |
| ScottK | Heh | 05:53 |
| persia | ScottK: This time I beat you (although only by 1 second) :) | 05:53 |
| Fujitsu | It'd be nice to have a one-click create-a-basic-project button, and it goes into a queue somewhere to have more useful details added later. | 05:53 |
| ScottK | Yep, so it's still +4 for me. | 05:53 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Agreed. is there a bug open about that? | 05:53 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 125788 in malone "Add link to bugs needing forwarding upstream for a product" [High,Confirmed] | 05:53 |

| === persia plots trying to define a jp106 dvorak keyboard layout to regain those four seconds | ||
| Fujitsu | I've brought it up in #launchpad a couple of times, and they just say it won't be a problem once everything is registered. | 05:54 |
| persia | Fujitsu: There you go then. Now, as this is a previously addressed problem: please file a bug :) | 05:54 |
| === Fujitsu tries to not stab someone. | ||
| Hobbsee | persia: bugsquad doesnt have meetings | 05:54 |
| Fujitsu | Ah, the beryl-core bug page looks lovely :) | 05:54 |
| Hobbsee | persia: but remember - most of the bugsquad moves to doing packaging anyway | 05:55 |
| persia | Hobbsee: I thought they used to have them, but I hadn't seen any since bughelper was started, so I wondered.... | 05:55 |
| Hobbsee | persia: not sure...i havent seen any in a *long* time | 05:55 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Eventually. For particulaly slow people, that can take years. | 05:55 |
| === persia is such a particularly slow person | ||
| Hobbsee | bah. or just underconfident. | 05:56 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Depends. It's often easier to file a good bug, perhaps with a patch or replication code than to actually fix the problem. | 05:56 |
| === Hobbsee shrugs | ||
| === minghua is not particularly fond of filing bugs in LP | ||
| persia | minghua: But you still use sid, don't you? | 05:57 |
| minghua | I've filed a bug against dapper after testing installation a few days after release, got no responses, and was asked if it's reproducible on feisty one year later. | 05:58 |
| Hobbsee | minghua: that's a general problem with universe bugs, remember? | 05:59 |
| minghua | persia: Yes, I stopped using Ubuntu as daily system a bit after edgy release. | 05:59 |
| Hobbsee | minghua: you're not really going to get away from that, unless you get more people involved in triaging | 05:59 |
| === ScottK has found Ubuntu has a lot fewer annoying bugs since I started fixing the ones that were bugging me. | ||
| gpocentek | ScottK: thanks for your reply | 05:59 |
| persia | minghua: That's just bad luck. Most of my bugs got responses, and were solved within the release cycle. | 05:59 |
| ScottK | You're welcome. | 05:59 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: do you have, and use, an account on alioth? | 06:00 |
| minghua | Hobbsee: I remember. I'm not exactly blaming the developers, I know they are busy. I am just saying such experiences makes me wary of filing bugs against unfamiliar packages. | 06:00 |
| minghua | I just don't know if there is a developer that looks at the bugs regularly. | 06:00 |
| Hobbsee | minghua: i hope you're filing those bugs to debian instead, then | 06:00 |
| ajmitch | minghua: unlikely | 06:00 |
| ScottK | Hobbsee: I do. | 06:01 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: good. | 06:01 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: with debian kde extras, i presume, shoving all applicable kde stuff back up there? | 06:01 |
| minghua | Actually, the same applies to Debian. If I report bugs to one package and the maintainer doesn't reply, after one or two bugs I stop filing them (if not stop using the package). | 06:02 |
| ScottK | No, Debian Python Modules Team. | 06:02 |
| minghua | ajmitch: For some packages there are. I look at the bugs of my Debian packages regularly. | 06:02 |
| persia | minghua: One way to check is to look for bug subscribers for the package. Most of us who care about specific packages have subscribed to the package bugs, which increases the chance we'll see it. | 06:02 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: ah. please do it for kde packages that you see and touch, too. | 06:02 |
| ScottK | Hobbsee: Up until I started doing the S/MIME stuff, I'd never really done much for KDE. | 06:02 |
| Hobbsee | fair enough | 06:02 |
| minghua | Hobbsee: I don't file bugs to Debian before I reproduce them on Debian. But I agree on your point. | 06:03 |
| Hobbsee | minghua: right, yeah | 06:03 |
| ScottK | Do I need to go back and send the S/MIME dependency changes to alioth? | 06:03 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: well, if you think taht debian should also ahve the same functionality, that would be useful, yes.... | 06:04 |
| persia | ScottK: Have you been granted write-access to the debian-kde-extras repository? | 06:04 |
| ScottK | persia: No. I haven't asked. | 06:04 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: you should | 06:04 |
| ScottK | OK. Ask > TODO. | 06:04 |
| persia | ScottK: I'm pretty sure it's easy to get in for kubuntu members | 06:04 |
| minghua | persia: That's a good point. But I am subscribed to some packages' bugmail without understanding it really, and don't reply bugmails. I only monitor them in case I can reproduce the bug on Debian. So bugmail subscriber is not a sure thing. | 06:05 |
| ScottK | I should also look into filing patches in BTS for the gnupg stuff too if it's relevant. | 06:05 |
| persia | minghua: True, but it's at least a hint. | 06:06 |
| ScottK | I actually had a very pleasant experience as an upstream today with Debian. The libspf2 maintainer e-mailed and asked for comments on two patches he'd gotten. | 06:06 |
| === persia thinks most Debian maintainers are good at working with upstream | ||

| Hobbsee | night ScottK | 06:11 |
| persia | OK. I think I'd like to process a sync, but I'm getting an md5sum mismatch on the Debian package. Any suggestions on this? Would it be appropriate to repack, or should it be ignored as likely compromised? | 06:12 |
| Hobbsee | persia: as in, are you asking about the packaging in debina, or it for ubuntu? | 06:14 |
| Hobbsee | persia: you'll have to fakesync it | 06:14 |
| Fujitsu | persia: You mean the Debian package won't unpack? | 06:15 |
| Fujitsu | You sure you're not using the Ubuntu .orig.tar.gz? | 06:15 |
| minghua | Sounds like different .orig.tar.gz. | 06:15 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Last update was a sync. New update would be a sync, but the Debian package fails the md5sum check. I'm just not sure if Ubuntu particularly cares. If it's not important, I'll fakesync. If it's important, I'll bug Debian about fixing it. | 06:15 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Yes. New upstream in Debian, orig.tar.gz downloaded with dget from unstable. | 06:16 |
| minghua | persia: Which package? | 06:16 |
| persia | minghua: bochs | 06:16 |
| Hobbsee | persia: is the upstream version distributed as a .tar.bz2? | 06:16 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Looks like a snapshot | 06:16 |
| persia | (bochs_2.3+20070705.orig.tar.gz) | 06:16 |
| Hobbsee | okay, so where does the md5sum mismatch occur? | 06:17 |
| persia | Hobbsee: md5sum for .orig.tar.gz in dsc doesn't match the output of md5sum locally. | 06:18 |
| minghua | persia: 2.3+20070705-2 unpacks fine here. | 06:18 |

| persia | Hobbsee: At first glance, it looks like last night's upload works :( | 06:47 |
| persia | Hobbsee: My apologies, but I'm not sure there's much left for non core-dev to do. RCS & LVM is sacred, -meta requires write-access to the seeds (or perhaps just run update), and GNOME gets lots of updates from upstream on a regular basis. | 06:48 |

| Hobbsee | with the seed changes | 06:52 |
| Hobbsee | persia: no problem | 06:52 |
| persia | Hobbsee: That's my thought. There were lots of changes committed recently, and a new germinate, but -meta hasn't been refreshed. | 06:52 |
| Hobbsee | persia: because we expected more changes, before the respin :) | 06:52 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Sure. I'm not surprised, it's just that I don't think it's worth a debdiff - it's easier for a core-dev to run update and expect it to work (unless anastacia has lost her mind) | 06:53 |
| ajmitch | persia: what are you doing with libvirt? | 06:53 |
| Hobbsee | persia: oh yes, of course | 06:53 |
| persia | ajmitch: Nothing. Chuck uploaded a fix for the installation failure, and it's just waiting on the Xen fixes, which Ben has been chasing. | 06:54 |

| StevenK | persia: What I was saying about -meta seems to hold true for ubuntu-meta on gutsy_probs. ubuntu-desktop can't be installed on Sparc, since gnome-session can't be. | 06:59 |
| persia | minghua: 1) AndyP's mail was post-meeting, 2) Next Q&A belongs in Upcoming Events. 3) I think the effort to cover Outstanding merges before UVF got merged into the larger merge discussion (and kicked it off, as I recall), 4) "More efficient HUG Days" needs attribution, and might belong with the HUG day schedule annoucement. Otherwise, looks great. | 06:59 |

| Amaranth | and compiz itself has a timer that adds 4 | 07:04 |

| lifeless | hi, hi, hi :) | 07:16 |
| TheMuso | StevenK: You didn't update the gutsy pbuilder on sparky? | 07:16 |
| === TheMuso shakes head. | ||
| ScottK | I guess I also wonder about debcheck whining about stuff in Main recommending Universe stuff. Is that a problem? | 07:17 |
| Fujitsu | ScottK: I don't know of a policy on that. | 07:17 |
| persia | I thought "Recommends" we acceptable (but neither Depends: nor Build-Depends:). | 07:17 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: er...good question | 07:17 |
| persia | s/we/was/ | 07:17 |
| Fujitsu | It is a good question, though. | 07:17 |
| Fujitsu | Especially with the automatic installation these days. | 07:17 |
| Hobbsee | recommends are currently acceptable, as long as it's not a metapackage - but who knows if that will change | 07:17 |
| ScottK | persia: Me too, but debcheck complains. | 07:17 |
| === persia likes actual public written policies | ||
| Hobbsee | oh bleh | 07:18 |
| === Hobbsee kicks germinate | ||
| persia | Without Recommends, we'll either have a lot more in main, or Universe will be less obviously useful to users. | 07:19 |
| === Fujitsu can remove that complaint if wished. | ||
| lifeless | Hobbsee: water it:) | 07:19 |
| === ScottK agrees. | ||
| Fujitsu | It's just there because it was there in Debian. | 07:19 |

| Hobbsee | lifeless: it's dying, because it's thinking my lp id is sarah, not hobbsee, which is what my ssh key is under. | 07:20 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Would you? Ideally, everything there should be a request for an upload, no? | 07:20 |
| lifeless | erk | 07:20 |
| lifeless | time to check the code for environment variables :) | 07:20 |
| ScottK | Fujitsu: Can you somehow remove it for non-meta packages and keep it for metapackages? | 07:20 |
| Hobbsee | lifeless: yes. it's tryign a standard bzr checkout, without using teh hobbsee@... | 07:20 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Always use the same username for everything :) | 07:20 |
| Hobbsee | lifeless: true. this worked before, i thought | 07:20 |
| Fujitsu | ScottK: Possibly. I'll see if I have that info. | 07:20 |
| lifeless | Hobbsee: oh, easy answer -ssh alias | 07:20 |
| lifeless | .ssh/config | 07:21 |
| ScottK | Fujitsu: That would be the thing to do if you can (I think). | 07:21 |

| Hobbsee | yeah | 07:21 |
| === persia also recommends s/H/h/ | ||
| Hobbsee | lifeless: i do vaguely consider just taking ~sarah :P | 07:22 |
| Hobbsee | lifeless: assuming that works...presumably that wont effect the checkotus that have hobbsee@bazaar...etc? | 07:24 |

| Hobbsee | lifeless: that's working, thanks. | 07:26 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: oh, i meant "assuming that the .ssh/config change works, that means i wont need to change the checkouts that have hobbsee@bazaar...." | 07:26 |
| Fujitsu | Ah, right. | 07:26 |
| Hobbsee | not the changing to ~sarah | 07:26 |

| Amaranth | you've already gotten angry beryl users? | 07:30 |
| Fujitsu | I had a couple of emails complaining. | 07:30 |
| Fujitsu | And one who said their bug was still present in compiz-fusion and moved it over there. | 07:31 |
| Amaranth | wow | 07:31 |
| Burgundavia | beryl users angry? | 07:31 |
| Burgundavia | why so? | 07:31 |
| Amaranth | why mass-reject anyway? the package is gone | 07:31 |
| Amaranth | don't the bugs go away? | 07:31 |
| Burgundavia | why mass reject? | 07:31 |
| Fujitsu | Amaranth: To kill off about 200 universe bugs? | 07:31 |
| Fujitsu | No, they stay there. | 07:31 |
| === GruncH [n=gruncho@206.49.165.171] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Amaranth | Burgundavia: because beryl is gone | 07:31 |
| Burgundavia | but they might be compiz-fusion bugs | 07:32 |
| Burgundavia | tag them as needinof and close them in two weeks | 07:32 |
| ScottK | Burgundavia: Where's the convenient LP interface for that? | 07:32 |
| Burgundavia | ScottK: I wish | 07:32 |
| Burgundavia | you coudl do it via the email interface | 07:33 |
| Amaranth | i even gave up on email | 07:33 |
| ScottK | That's what Fujitsu did and even then it was painful. | 07:33 |
| Fujitsu | The mail server didn't like 150 recipients :( | 07:33 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: laserjock does have a point though | 07:33 |
| ScottK | Hobbsee: I agree. There's a balance to be had. | 07:33 |
| Fujitsu | Burgundavia: It's most likely that we're going to get those crashes reported again if they're still present in compiz fusion. | 07:34 |
| Hobbsee | true | 07:34 |
| ScottK | For me it seems like it's just a polite thing to do. "Hey, you merged this last time. Do you mind if I do it?" | 07:34 |
| Burgundavia | Fujitsu: but what about the feature requests? what about the usability bugs? | 07:34 |
| Fujitsu | It seems polite because that's how the policy works at the moment. | 07:34 |
| TheMuso | ScottK: Yeah. Usually the person in questions says go for it. | 07:34 |
| Burgundavia | I would be seriously pissed if my bugs were closed without anything | 07:35 |
| ScottK | Hobbsee: You may recall I merged several of your packages for Feisty and you never said no, yet I always asked. | 07:35 |
| Burgundavia | ScottK: there was a blog post about this, when gaim did it | 07:35 |
| Burgundavia | it is ok to tag them needsinfo and then close them | 07:35 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: true :) | 07:35 |
| ScottK | That's different though, that was just a name change. This is a removal. | 07:35 |
| Fujitsu | You can be fairly sure that all gaim bugs will be in pidging. | 07:35 |
| Fujitsu | *pidgin | 07:36 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: i will only say no if i have some other reason | 07:36 |
| Burgundavia | ScottK: no, it is not | 07:36 |
| ScottK | Exactly. | 07:36 |
| Burgundavia | ScottK: it is pretty much the same source | 07:36 |
| === ScottK thought it was pretty much compiz source. | ||
| ScottK | Not beryl. | 07:36 |
| Burgundavia | beryl was still mostly compiz | 07:36 |
| Fujitsu | Why did Beryl crash so much more, then | 07:37 |
| Fujitsu | *? | 07:37 |
| Hobbsee | it seething with crack | 07:37 |
| ScottK | Sure, but still bringing a fork back together is very different than a name change. | 07:37 |
| Hobbsee | er, it was seething wiht crack | 07:37 |
| Burgundavia | the point of the matter is that it is extremely rude and is likely to turn off some people from further contributions | 07:38 |
| === minghua [n=minghua@ubuntu/member/minghua] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ScottK | Not saying there aren't bugs in there that are valid still, but mass reject and rereport as needed seems like a good use of scarce time and talent. | 07:38 |
| ScottK | It all depends on what Fujitsu said in the rejection mail. | 07:38 |
| Burgundavia | if you are doing a mass reject, is it not as easy to mass reassign and tag as needs info? | 07:38 |
| Burgundavia | especially given Fujitsu did it via the email interface | 07:39 |
| Fujitsu | I said that it was replaced by Compiz Fusion, so had been removed from Gutsy. A couple of them have already been responded to by the reported and moved to compiz-fusion. | 07:39 |
| Amaranth | Burgundavia: speaking of which, you should see if your bugs filed against compiz are still relevant :) | 07:39 |
| Burgundavia | Amaranth: that I should | 07:39 |
| ScottK | And then do it again two weeks later after having to go through them all AGAIN to see which can be rejected. It's the going through them again that eats the time. | 07:39 |
| Amaranth | i'm pretty sure i set them all the Incomplete and asked for a gutsy update | 07:39 |
| Burgundavia | ScottK: it is really not that hard, given we are trying to get the best compiz for gutsy | 07:39 |
| Burgundavia | I can say this, having done it once | 07:40 |
| ScottK | OK. Keep in mind I've already been accused of being bitter tonight. | 07:40 |
| TheMuso | heh | 07:41 |
| Burgundavia | the key point is that you don't want to piss people off, because you never know when you might be pissing off a potential contributor | 07:41 |
| ScottK | Sure. But (as with other things) there is a balance. There is only so much manpower to do that work and using to much of it to avoid pissing off potential contributors is also counter productive. | 07:43 |
| Burgundavia | yes, but in this case it is almost the same amount of work | 07:43 |
| ScottK | Err X 2 is what it looks like from here. | 07:43 |
| Fujitsu | There's the initial move, then the waiting, then the looking through for replies, then the mass rejection (which would likely collect most of the bugs anyway, due to lack of response). | 07:44 |
| ajmitch | hello Burgundavia | 07:45 |
| Burgundavia | hey ajmitch | 07:46 |
| Burgundavia | Fujitsu: but the replies are not much, given, as say, most are not going to reply | 07:46 |
| ScottK | But you still have to go through them. | 07:48 |
| Hobbsee | darn it. i've forgottne how to update the metapackages, with the changelog entries | 07:49 |
| === ScottK fires back at laserjock. | ||
| === Fujitsu watches a bloody battle ensue. | ||
| ScottK | Hah. Beat persia by 15 seconds that time. | 07:51 |
| === ScottK was nice. | ||
| === ScottK didn't ask how much time he's spent here since he made core-dev. | ||
| ScottK | Did I say that out loud? | 07:52 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: just a thought - he may have had to step down for RL reasons, too. | 07:53 |
| === persia is down 19 now :( | ||
| ScottK | Sure. That actually came out much more harsh than I was thinking. | 07:53 |
| persia | ScottK: I'd argue that any package that's hard to merge if the original uploader was hit by a bus would be a case of either a poor changelog, lack of comments in the patch, or the lack of README.Debian-source (but then, I'm a convert). | 07:56 |
| persia | s/either/one of/ | 07:56 |
| ScottK | To an extent that's true, but if you know what to expect, you'll make fewer mistakes. | 07:58 |
| TheMuso | persia: Good call | 07:58 |
| persia | ScottK: That's true as well. It's a matter of "targets of opportunity" vs. "personal responsibility". | 07:58 |
| === persia reiterates that merges should be the least important thing MOTUs do | ||
| ScottK | As a community cultural matter, I think it's polite to ask and polite to say OK, unless there's a good reason why not. You might even say, "Sure, but watch out for po files in the diff. Just edit them out." | 08:00 |
| ScottK | It's kind of like when you go out to eat and one person's food comes late. It's polite to ask them if they mind if you go ahead and polite for them to say no. | 08:01 |
| persia | ScottK: True, but if there's an issue like that, doesn't it belong in the changelog or in README.Debian-source? I'm certainly more knowledgeable about a merge at the time I do it than at the time the next Debian upload happens, and I'd like not to feel I have to check an extra web page daily to see if there are pending changes that have been assigned to me. | 08:01 |

| persia | ScottK: I must have missed that. How does it matter? What's special about courier? | 08:04 |
| ScottK | There's something with the po files in that package that they show up in the debdiff even though the aren't changed. | 08:04 |
| ScottK | If you are merging and uploading it never comes up. | 08:05 |
| ScottK | I think it may have to do with line lengths, but I'm not sure. | 08:05 |
| persia | ScottK: They must be changing. Perhaps they're updated and refeshed by clean: somehow? | 08:05 |
| ScottK | No, when you look at the text, they are the same, just line wrapped differently. | 08:06 |
| ScottK | Courier is a seriously unhappy package in many ways. | 08:06 |

| minghua | Meeting minute draft: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings/2007-07-14 | 08:06 |

| persia | minghua: Yes. Each item is considered a "minute", although there's usually poor correlation with typical time measurements. | 08:18 |
| minghua | persia: I see that you send minutes to -motu and -devel-discuss. Do you think -devel is better? | 08:19 |
| minghua | There is probably not much to discuss about the minutes. | 08:19 |
| persia | minghua: I was just following the example of the two Daniels who had sent minutes for meetings before I started. There's no intelligence involved in the distribution list. | 08:19 |

| minghua | I don't really know. I assumed since new package in REVU need two advocates, new package by MOTU needs another nod? | 08:33 |
| persia | Fujitsu: last I heard, the process for new packages by MOTUs was 1) upload to review, 2) wait for ACK, 3) upload to archive. | 08:34 |
| Fujitsu | I remember a decision was made a while ago. | 08:34 |
| persia | minghua: Right. 1 advocate should be enough, but the last couple I did had "second" ACK from the original uploader, so the NEW annoucement and actual upload were done by the original packager. | 08:34 |
| === persia doesn't ever package new software, so is less familiar with this process than with others | ||

| === Hobbsee has never done a new package, fully | ||

| StevenK | What does the auto manual say about acinclude.m4? | 10:09 |
| Fujitsu | ? | 10:09 |
| StevenK | Neat. The autobook doesn't know anything about acinclude | 10:11 |
| Fujitsu | Neat! | 10:11 |
| === Fujitsu waits for Debian to sort it out when Qt4.3 filters down to there. | ||

| Fujitsu | So they can't complaing at us for removing it for much longer. | 10:13 |
| Fujitsu | *complain | 10:13 |
| Flannel | Yay indeed. Finally my hosting company will give me php5, and I'll have to stop hacking around OOP deficiencies | 10:14 |
| Fujitsu | Presumably. | 10:14 |
| Fujitsu | StevenK: Was it you who had evil PHP4-only code to maintain? | 10:14 |
| vorlon | generating acinclude.m4 is out of scope for autotools; it's input to autotools, the same way configure.ac is | 10:14 |
| Fujitsu | vorlon: Ah, so it's constructed by upstream? | 10:14 |
| === persia thought php4 EOL was 2.8.2008. Can it be dropped for gutsy? | ||
| vorlon | one assumes so | 10:15 |
| StevenK | persia: php4 was killed in Feisty | 10:15 |
| Hobbsee | what happens for php4 in dapper? | 10:15 |
| Flannel | persia: 2.8.2008 > 2.10.07 | 10:15 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: It's not supported. | 10:15 |
| Flannel | Hobbsee: We'll still maintain it, just like FF1.5 | 10:15 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: oh, right, good | 10:16 |
| === persia points at json & others, and hunts to kill | ||
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: thought it was in main for some reason | 10:16 |
| Fujitsu | php4 | 4:4.4.2-1build1 | dapper/universe | source, all | 10:16 |
| StevenK | I thought Firefox was 2.0 in Dapper now | 10:16 |
| Flannel | In Dapper? Oh, I suppose it isnt. Oh, right, apache1 is, php4 isnt | 10:16 |
| persia | Flannel: Yes, but if it's EOL 2 months in, 18 months of support is hard :( | 10:16 |
| Fujitsu | We're unfortunately meant to be supporting it in Dapper until 2011, but I can't really see that happening. | 10:17 |
| Flannel | persia: well, php4 was dropped entirely in feisty, so it's moot. | 10:17 |
| Flannel | StevenK: why would 2.0 be backported to dapper? | 10:18 |
| StevenK | Flannel: I thought it was. It seems I remembered wrongly. | 10:18 |
| Flannel | er, I mean, if it was, it would be in -backports, not in main | 10:18 |
| Fujitsu | StevenK: Urgh, no. | 10:18 |
| Fujitsu | You know how bad that would be? | 10:18 |
| StevenK | Shush, I'm sick. | 10:19 |
| Fujitsu | Flannel: -backports and main are not comparable. | 10:19 |
| Flannel | Fujitsu: right, I'm aware. Which is why it being in -backports is quite different than main, but even if it were to be backported, it would only be in -backports | 10:19 |
| Fujitsu | It's backports vs. release/updates/security, not backports vs. main. | 10:19 |
| === thekorn [n=thekorn@a89-182-6-127.net-htp.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Flannel | Fujitsu: got references for that? Since, I obviously misunderstand something | 10:21 |
| Flannel | Or, just anywhere I'd look for an explanation, instead of badgering you | 10:21 |
| Fujitsu | release/updates/security/backports are pockets. main/restricted/universe/multiverse are components. Pockets contain components. | 10:22 |
| === persia finally understands what "pocket" means. | ||
| Flannel | hmm. right. I suppose they do occupy different spots in repository config lines. I suppose I've never made that connection before | 10:23 |
| === minghua is with persia. | ||
| Fujitsu | Pocket is Soyuz-speak. I'm not sure if it's ever used elsewhere. | 10:24 |
| minghua | I always understood them as two different dimensions before. | 10:24 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Well, it's used lots of places, but it only carries that meaning in Soyuz. | 10:26 |
| Fujitsu | persia: Right, that's what I meant. | 10:26 |
| Fujitsu | And there's also the proposed pocket, which I managed to leave out of that list somehow. | 10:26 |
| persia | Fujitsu: While you're giving a lesson in Soyuz-speak, what's the correct term for something that contains a set of pockets for a given name (e.g. Dapper)? | 10:28 |
| Fujitsu | distrorelease is the code name, and generally used by LP people. | 10:28 |
| persia | So distrorelease > pocket > component, right? | 10:29 |
| Fujitsu | Right. | 10:29 |
| Fujitsu | Then section > sourcepackage > sourcepackagerelease | 10:29 |
| === ivoks [n=ivoks@5-241.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| StevenK | Which means a distrorelease is a coat, which contains many pockets? | 10:29 |
| Fujitsu | StevenK: Definitely. | 10:29 |
| persia | So, if each coat is given a number, what do we call a collection of coats? Distribution? Closet? | 10:31 |
| StevenK | When is Ubuntu coming out of the closet? | 10:31 |
| === StevenK runs and hides. | ||
| === persia thinks the official reason is "As soon as it's feasible" | ||
| === Fujitsu takes some heavy components out of the pockets and throws them at StevenK. | ||
| StevenK | persia: :-P | 10:32 |
| persia | No, but seriously, what is the term for "Ubuntu", "Kubuntu", etc? Are these just flavors? If flavors, of what are they a flavor? What is the term for Dapper, Edgy, Feisty, and Gusty as a combined unit? | 10:33 |
| === persia lost some u's in there somewhere | ||
| Fujitsu | Ah... THey're just flavours, they don't really fit in anywhere. | 10:34 |
| Fujitsu | persia: I think the combination of distroreleases is just.. Ubuntu. | 10:34 |
| persia | Fujitsu: OK. Ignoring the flavours then, what is a collection of distroreleases as part of a common thread called? | 10:34 |
| Fujitsu | A distro. | 10:34 |
| persia | OK. At that point, we get into "Also affects distribution", and so there's no longer enough commonality to need collections. Thanks. | 10:35 |
| Fujitsu | It's a little confusing, as Ubuntu is both a flavour and distro. | 10:35 |
| persia | Fujitsu: That's just namespace collision. "Ubuntu" the flavour is local, "Ubuntu" the distro is global. Unless otherwise specified, the flavour applies whenever flavours are being discussed, and never applies in other cases. | 10:36 |
| Fujitsu | Flavors don't exist at all in LP at the moment, though I believe that's changing. | 10:36 |
| Fujitsu | Urrrgh, I just used an Americanism. | 10:36 |
| === Fujitsu hopes qgis will build this time. | ||
| persia | That would actually be interesting. I wonder if different flavours would be able to provide different seeds such that the component mix was different, but that's far from on-topic for here :) | 10:37 |
| Fujitsu | I don't like this evil autoconf stuff. | 10:37 |
| Fujitsu | I think the seeds will be able to be assigned to a flavour in LP, but I really don't remember. | 10:38 |
| === Fujitsu looks for specs. | ||
| Fujitsu | Yay, it passes configure. | 10:38 |
| === Q-FUNK [n=q-funk@dsl-hkibras1-ff55c300-121.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Fujitsu | Oh, neat, it runs configure twice. | 10:38 |
| Fujitsu | Thanks Debian. | 10:38 |
| persia | Fujitsu: More problematic is that builds depend on components, so if different flavours want to change the seeds for components, it gets hopeless at the sourcepackagerelease level. | 10:39 |
| Fujitsu | persia: Components aren't for flavours to decide. | 10:39 |
| Fujitsu | That would never work. | 10:39 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Right. On the other hand, it makes building CDs from a flavour without promising official support much easier. | 10:40 |
| Fujitsu | persia: In that case you just have a CD build system that allows universe too. | 10:40 |
| === MagnusR [n=magru@c83-252-237-96.bredband.comhem.se] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| persia | Fujitsu: No, because of the flavour-specific seeds. See, it gets hopeless. Something might happen at some point in the future if another large sponsor wants to pay to share infrastructure and source, but likely not until then. | 10:41 |
| Fujitsu | Flavours can have differing ship seeds, but not feasibly different supported seeds. | 10:42 |
| Fujitsu | The Soyuz spec for it is distrorelease-flavours (and its (r)depends), though not much seems to be happening there. | 10:45 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Hmm... That doesn't help flavours that need more variance, but then again, not all derivatives should be candidates for flavours. | 10:46 |
| Fujitsu | persia: How does Canonical-supported status affect unsupported flavours? | 10:47 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Well, if, as an example, someone wanted to distribute something that used jack as the default sound system (which cannot be in main now due to highly unstable rdepends upstream), and support that, this would need to be done as a derivative, rather than as a flavour (until something changes). This is true to a lesser extent for anything wishing CDs, due to the CD builds from main restriction (which is less complicated). | 10:49 |
| Fujitsu | persia: Ah, I wasn't considering the possibility that someone might want to support that. | 10:50 |
| Fujitsu | I suppose it wouldn't be hard to provide overrides so packages could be dragged into a flavour-specific supported component. | 10:50 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Right. It's the possibility of non-official support (or flavour-specific support) that makes it tricky. | 10:50 |
| Fujitsu | But then that requires a separate archive. | 10:50 |
| Fujitsu | I hadn't considered that possibility. | 10:50 |
| persia | Fujitsu: No, that's not hard, but tracking rebuilds becomes hard. | 10:50 |
| persia | Right. At that point, derivative makes more sense than flavour. As a result, flavour-specific seeds are probably limited to ShipSeed and DesktopSeed (or perhaps a couple other specialised seeds) | 10:51 |
| === porthose [n=charliej@24-119-100-168.cpe.cableone.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||

| persia | jekil: Also, is this http://framework.metasploit.com/msf/? | 01:04 |

| persia | jekil: Did you read the license for downloading the source? I'm not even sure that the software can be modified enough to make a package, and still comply with that license. Further, it certainly would have to be in multiverse, as we cannot modify it, and it cannot be sold for profit. | 01:06 |
| man-di | jekil: the lintian error are about your binary package | 01:07 |
| man-di | jekil: this means you should not include them in the binary package, debian/copyright should have all the needed infos | 01:08 |
| jekil | persia: i read it, it can be distribuited for non-profit, you think that i must write on ubuntu-legal or whatever? | 01:08 |
| persia | jekil: There's no ubuntu-legal. My concern is 1) there are companies that distribute Ubuntu for profit, and 2) that Ubuntu likes to be able to patch software without violating the license. | 01:09 |

| persia | jekil: If you think it's a good candidate, by all means, send it to REVU. I'd suggest checking against http://www.debian.org/social_contract to determine if it's OK to package. As far as I know, the only licensing differences between Ubuntu and Debian are 1) GFDL is considered free, and 2) binary firmware without source is considered acceptable in some cases. | 01:12 |

| persia | AndyP: It is healthy. Thanks for helping prod it. | 04:03 |
| === ScottK thought ask before you merge was non-controversial and well established. | ||
| persia | ScottK: I think it was new in edgy (maybe even late edgy). I've never seen real controversy about it previously, aside from people grumbling when either it wasn't done, or the last uploader wasn't available. | 04:05 |
| AndyP | ScottK: i did too, really, but it's the method of asking i was looking into, and perhaps what to do if the previous uploader is not contactable | 04:05 |
| ScottK | Right, but it's clear now that we don't even have consensus on asking. | 04:05 |
| persia | ScottK: Strangely, yes. | 04:06 |
| Fujitsu | When I started in early Edgy, it was just common etiquette. It wasn't defined anywhere at all; you just knew. | 04:06 |
| Fujitsu | \/win 9 | 04:06 |
| Fujitsu | Oops | 04:07 |
| ScottK | One other point is that since I merge the same package over and over, I'm more motivated to work with Debian to reduce that diff. | 04:07 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Really? I never heard anything about it for Dapper. Perhaps new for Edgy? | 04:07 |
| ScottK | I guess that's the problem is that common etiquette isn't so common. | 04:07 |
| persia | ScottK: True, although I find that when someone else merges it badly, I'm even more motivated to work with Debian and upstream. | 04:07 |
| Fujitsu | My involvement prior to Edgy was in #ubuntu and the Australian Team. Nothing developerish, so I really don't know. | 04:08 |
| ScottK | As an example, I've gotten clamav down to where there is a one line diff in an init between Ubuntu and Debian. | 04:08 |
| === ScottK tends to feel motivated to strangle the individual in question, but that's just me. | ||
| Hobbsee | dapper was quite different | 04:08 |
| persia | Fujitsu: I was not involved for Edgy (left just before Dapper release (May-ish), and returned early Feisty (December-ish), so there's a bit of a gap in my memory. | 04:09 |
| persia | ScottK: for clamav, can't you do something nifty with postint and lsb? | 04:09 |
| ScottK | It's more a matter of doing the research to make sure the diff would be appropriate for Debian and then sending a patch. | 04:10 |
| persia | ScottK: Ah. | 04:10 |
| ScottK | If someone would send $TIME here, I'd get it done right away. | 04:10 |
| Hobbsee | dapper we had a small team of people, who were very involved, who were all very good, who could all upload, and who had more time. and one wiki page of everything. that's not still the case | 04:11 |
| Fujitsu | Now we have a small team of people who don't have much time, and a small group who don't have much time and can't upload. Lovely. | 04:12 |
| Hobbsee | it's probably a bit bigger group now | 04:13 |
| persia | Fujitsu: Both groups are growing. We've eight or so new MOTUs so far in gutsy, and I keep seeing new names with <100 karma in the UUS queue, so I imagine the other group is growing as well. | 04:13 |
| Fujitsu | It seems smaller than Edgy/Feisty, but that might just be me. | 04:14 |
| persia | Fujitsu: It's certainly less noisy here, but it seems about the same in terms of archive churn. | 04:14 |

| Hobbsee | a lot of the dapper people are now inactive | 04:17 |

| === beuno [n=martin@ubuntu/member/beuno] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| persia | ScottK: I'd actually argue against that. I think a lot of our processes need work, as they previously relied on the herculean efforts of such legendary figures as The MOTU Trinity, etc. | 04:19 |
| persia | Dapper was fun, but there weren't 8 million users to worry about. | 04:20 |
| ScottK | Need work, fine, but churn no. | 04:20 |
| persia | ScottK: OK. Agreed. | 04:20 |
| Hobbsee | persia: remember - core dev doesnt mean no work on MOTU | 04:20 |
| ScottK | For example this whole ask before you merge thing is process churn IMO. There was a clear common understanding even if not well documented. | 04:21 |
| ScottK | No we're going to engage in several rounds of navel gazing to figure out what the right thing to do is. | 04:21 |
| ScottK | No/Now | 04:21 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Right, but core-dev usually means either a position with Canonical, a position that allows truly significant time to be spent on Ubuntu, or a Student (but those tend to lose time after a year or two) | 04:21 |
| Hobbsee | persia: core dev has nothing to do with canonical | 04:22 |
| persia | ScottK: Yep. Gutsy is good for that, as we'll want to be in best shape for the next LTS, to make it really shine. | 04:22 |
| === _16aR_ [n=dolanor@unaffiliated/16ar/x-367395] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Hobbsee | persia: as in, if you're good enough for core dev, then you're probably on the canonical radar, but that's not a direct link | 04:22 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Officially, no, but it's tricky to get into core-dev if one can't commit at least 30 hours a week to Ubuntu, and probably more like 50. | 04:23 |

| persia | Hobbsee: Perhaps. | 04:24 |
| ScottK | Of course I'm kind of allergic to process, so who knows. | 04:24 |
| Hobbsee | heck - how much of the time is spent on irc? | 04:24 |
| Hobbsee | vs actually uploading things? | 04:24 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Sure, most of the time is IRC, when the person could be doing other things, but that also depends on the nature of the other things the person does. | 04:25 |
| Hobbsee | true | 04:26 |
| persia | And, if someone can only commit ~20 hours a week to being on IRC, are they really connected enough to work in the Ubuntu culture? | 04:27 |
| Hobbsee | sure | 04:27 |
| persia | (ignoring legacy committers for the time being) | 04:27 |
| Hobbsee | or at least, if not, there's some problem with our procedures | 04:27 |
| Hobbsee | a person should nto have to read backscroll of irc to see all of the decisions | 04:27 |
| Hobbsee | we need to use our mailing list more | 04:27 |
| persia | Hobbsee: OK. I'd agree with that, but I think it falls under "problem with practices", rather than "not an issue" at the current time. | 04:28 |
| Hobbsee | granted. | 04:28 |
| persia | On the other hand, one of the things that was exciting about Ubuntu when it was starting was that it was real-time: IRC and wiki, rather than mailing lists and waiting. I'm not sure how much of that should be lost in the interest of encouraging people to spend ~10 hours a week and have full upload rights. | 04:29 |
| ScottK | Work it out on IRC and document it on the ML is not a bad way to work. | 04:31 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: true that | 04:31 |
| persia | ScottK: Exactly. | 04:31 |
| Hobbsee | full upload rights is a bit of a red herring, i find. there's just not that much use i have for main stuff | 04:31 |
| Hobbsee | excluding the seeds, and stuff i'm currently working on | 04:31 |
| === ScottK finds it useful for Hobbsee to be able to upload main stuff ;-) | ||
| Hobbsee | hehe | 04:32 |
| persia | Hobbsee: That's just you. Think about the greater picture. If I had upload rights to main, and took an engagement that limited me to ~10 hours a week on Ubuntu, I'm not sure that others would appreciate me uploading random things that took my fancy when I was around. | 04:33 |
| Hobbsee | persia: dunno - because, if you were the "maintainer" per se...then they may not touch it | 04:33 |
| === LucidFox is now known as LucidFox_away | ||
| persia | Right, but I'm against the very concept of "Maintainer". It seems contrary to the discussion that brought Ubuntu into being. | 04:33 |
| === tuxmaniac [n=tuxmania@unaffiliated/tuxmaniac] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ScottK | Then pick a more moderate word that means "Person that normally pays attention to this package". | 04:34 |
| Hobbsee | main's a bit different, as in, because someone has to be staying on top of each package's bugs. | 04:34 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Sure, someone has to track the bugs, but to date, nobody has complained about my (sponsored) uploads to main based on my random interests. I believe this to be because whenever I've worked in main, I've been around, and responsive. | 04:35 |
| === ScottK ponders filing a bug asking for removal of the "Offer to mentor someone to fix this bug" link for LP, since no one who might need mentoring can actually do that. | ||
| persia | ScottK: I think that's a good feature. We should use it more. | 04:36 |
| ScottK | Sure, but for LP/malone it's not relevant. | 04:36 |
| eagles0513875 | ScottK: so what ur saying is i can file a but to ask someone to help me debug an issue even though ill be the one doing the debugging | 04:37 |
| Hobbsee | persia: oh true | 04:37 |
| ScottK | See, I slept and so my bitterness quotient is revitalized. | 04:37 |
| === Hobbsee shrugs | ||
| ScottK | eagles0513875: You can file a bug and someone may offer to help you with it. They may just fix it themselves. | 04:37 |
| === yamal [n=yamal@unaffiliated/yamal] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Hobbsee | acutally, they might mark it as a support request | 04:38 |
| Hobbsee | better to just ask in here | 04:38 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Yep. Shrugging is probably the right response for now. Eventually, interested parties will come up with reasonable proposals, and those responsible for guiding the community will suggest how we should proceed. | 04:38 |
| Hobbsee | or #ubuntu+1 | 04:38 |
| eagles0513875 | ScottK: im having a problem which hasnt fixed itself and ive already tried a number of things | 04:38 |
| Hobbsee | persia: why do i get the distinct feeling that i'm regarded as one of them, as are the rest that have been doing MOTU stuff for a long while, or who are smart? | 04:38 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Because you have a sufficient sense of responsibility? | 04:39 |
| Hobbsee | persia: was more thinking of the people who were regarded to know what they were doing | 04:39 |
| eagles0513875 | Hobbsee: u certainly give an impression u know what ur doing | 04:41 |
| Hobbsee | eagles0513875: which is exactly why i suspect i'm being watched for a response | 04:42 |
| eagles0513875 | no i know ur in the ubuntu+1 room i dont expect u to respond | 04:42 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Sorry. Took me a while to determine how I had been unclear. I'm saying that your sense of responsibility is the reason you are one of the people who is likely to develop a proposal for how we should do things. | 04:42 |
| Hobbsee | persia: ah right. | 04:42 |
| Hobbsee | persia: i wish we'd got something more productive out of our discussions in the smokers bar at UDS, but unfortunately not | 04:43 |
| Hobbsee | jono destroyed that, with his all new beer greeting, and all the others coming in | 04:43 |
| persia | Whereas, the people responsible for the community direction tend to be members of the CC | 04:43 |
| Hobbsee | CC is a very small group, tend nto to have direction for day to day stuff | 04:43 |
| persia | Hobbsee: That's not really the right venue anyway (although it tends to be my favorite) | 04:44 |
| Hobbsee | persia: well... :) | 04:44 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 04:44 |
| Hobbsee | persia: the rigth people were there, so... | 04:44 |
| Hobbsee | and hell, they werent moving, if htey could have a smoke, and i wasnt moving, being absolutely exhausted | 04:44 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Exactly - that's why it tends to be my favorite :) | 04:44 |
| eagles0513875 | Hobbsee: whats a good program to use to play around with source files | 04:44 |
| === Hobbsee notes that walking from the hotel, to the university, and getting lost, and then to the centre of sevilla, and around it, then all the way back, is kinda exhausting! | ||
| Hobbsee | eagles0513875: $texteditorofchoice | 04:45 |
| persia | Regarding CC, I think that some of the issues (one team vs. maintainers, how do we recruit, etc.) are matters of interest to CC, but only after we've sufficiently thrashed the issues to prepare two or three well documented proposals. | 04:45 |
| eagles0513875 | Hobbsee: ok lol | 04:45 |
| eagles0513875 | ill use kate then | 04:45 |
| Hobbsee | persia: true. may even be the tech board - but we *should* be able to fix this ourselves, as we know the problems. | 04:45 |
| Hobbsee | persia: i believe that jono plans to do a big MOTU drive, so we need our sponsorship processes well described, and we need our people to be up to scratch, and responsible. | 04:46 |
| Hobbsee | before that point | 04:46 |
| Hobbsee | and if htey're not responsible, then we either dont let them get upload rights in the first place, or look at removing them. | 04:46 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Not the tech board. The problems aren't technical, they're social. How should developers work together? We should be able to fix it, but if we reach two or three models, rather than one, someone needs to decide. | 04:47 |
| Hobbsee | granted. | 04:47 |
| persia | Right. The MOTU drive is in late October / early November, right? | 04:47 |
| AndyP | what's a MOTU drive? | 04:47 |
| === Hobbsee will attempt to put some serious thought into it, sometime after she's done uni assignments, resume, and other such things | ||
| Hobbsee | AndyP: give me more blood! | 04:48 |
| Hobbsee | AndyP: give me more motu blood! | 04:48 |
| persia | AndyP: It's like a cattle drive, only using developers and laserpointers :) | 04:48 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 04:48 |
| Hobbsee | haha | 04:48 |
| Hobbsee | ooh, shiny | 04:48 |
| AndyP | hehe | 04:48 |
| AndyP | ok now answer my question seriously ;) | 04:49 |
| Hobbsee | AndyP: but we did. | 04:49 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Good luck. I think we sensibly have until next month before we need to really get it all proposed properly, but I may not be gauging things correctly. | 04:49 |
| Hobbsee | persia: thanks. | 04:49 |
| === Fujitsu heads to bed. | ||
| Hobbsee | persia: it'd probalby help if i got off irc for a while,b ut i need to stay on until the 19th, at least. | 04:49 |
| Hobbsee | night Fujitsu | 04:49 |
| Fujitsu | Night Hobbsee. | 04:50 |
| persia | AndyP: More seriously, it's a international effort to recruit new developers to Ubuntu, including Contributors, MOTU, etc. | 04:50 |
| eagles0513875 | thsi si to everyone here whether ur a programer or not i have to say kubuntu x86_64 is the best 64bit os i refuse to use anything else | 04:51 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Understood. Note however, that not being on IRC might make the discussions based on any proposal more difficult :) | 04:51 |
| AndyP | ah i see *puts down the scalpel* | 04:51 |
| eagles0513875 | where would i make a proposal | 04:51 |
| persia | eagles0513875: What sort of proposal? | 04:51 |
| Hobbsee | persia: oh, true that | 04:51 |
| eagles0513875 | persia: another version of kubuntu that centers around clustering | 04:52 |
| === persia suggests ignoring IRC for a couple hours a day | ||
| eagles0513875 | i honestly think canonical would make alot of money off it | 04:52 |
| Hobbsee | eagles0513875: provide someone to do the work..... | 04:52 |
| persia | eagles0513875: Most cluster arrangements are better run without X, except for the master station. You may be interested in some variation of ubuntu-server for the nodes, and Kubuntu for the head. | 04:52 |
| === Hobbsee waves the magic wand and does it | ||
| eagles0513875 | persia: what i was thinking was using pxe and do a network boot | 04:53 |
| === persia notes that there has been a recent call for new contributors to ubuntu-server | ||
| eagles0513875 | persia: y cant the basic ubuntu server be the ubuntu desktop version | 04:53 |
| eagles0513875 | since u can download all the dev pkgs | 04:53 |
| persia | eagles0513875: In that case, you might also want to look at some of the work that has been done in Edubuntu to netboot the thin clients. | 04:53 |
| eagles0513875 | ok | 04:53 |
| persia | eagles0513875: The big reason not to run desktop on a server is that X and friends take up too much RAM, interrupts, and processor time. | 04:54 |
| === Hobbsee notes that pitti probably doesnt want to get a phonecall on a saturday afternoon. | ||
| eagles0513875 | but kubuntu is so light weight when it comes to ram thoguh | 04:54 |
| Hobbsee | pity | 04:54 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Just wait two more days :) | 04:54 |
| persia | eagles0513875: Yes, but not as light as ubuntu-server | 04:55 |
| Hobbsee | persia: it's time sensitive | 04:55 |
| persia | Hobbsee: In that case... | 04:55 |
| eagles0513875 | how much lighter is the server version | 04:55 |
| Hobbsee | persia: as in, it really should have been discussed on friday, but i totally forgota bout it, until after pitti had left london | 04:55 |
| Hobbsee | eagles0513875: it doesnt run an x server. | 04:55 |
| AndyP | the server kernel is different to the desktop kernel also | 04:55 |
| persia | eagles0513875: I don't have a kubuntu installation, but probably about 60MB or so. | 04:55 |
| Hobbsee | persia: well, at least, irc, to go and drink beer | 04:55 |
| DarkMageZ | eagles0513875, i'm counting 100MB less ram usage from not using an xserver alone. | 04:56 |
| eagles0513875 | wow | 04:56 |
| eagles0513875 | hummm | 04:56 |
| persia | DarkMageZ: A lot of that is probably X resources stored by your clients as well. | 04:56 |
| DarkMageZ | probably. but still relevant to the point. | 04:56 |
| eagles0513875 | how do i move a folder using shell | 04:57 |
| Hobbsee | eagles0513875: like they told you in #ubuntu+1 | 04:57 |
| eagles0513875 | sry | 04:57 |
| === Hobbsee notes this isnt the support channel | ||
| persia | eagles0513875: now you're getting into #ubuntu territory. or maybe #ubuntu+1 | 04:57 |
| eagles0513875 | sry | 04:58 |
| eagles0513875 | persia: i think though in todays day and age the 60mb wont make a difference or would it | 04:58 |
| Hobbsee | on a server? yes. | 04:59 |
| Hobbsee | old machiens are still used as servers... | 04:59 |
| DarkMageZ | persia, so i've waited a week for a responce from the debian maintainer. no responce. what should i do? | 04:59 |
| eagles0513875 | older machines though in a cluster environment | 04:59 |
| persia | eagles0513875: Even for a new machine, it makes a huge difference. For a cluster, even more so, as you might want to focus on compute power, and only purchase 64MB RAM for each node. | 04:59 |
| eagles0513875 | true | 05:00 |
| persia | eagles0513875: More importantly, it's completely pointless - the cluster nodes will never need to run an X application, so loading the libraries into RAM just wastes space and CPU power. | 05:00 |
| eagles0513875 | in the server version of the distro does pxe tftp dhcp and all that some come pre installed | 05:00 |
| Hobbsee | why dont you try it...... | 05:01 |
| persia | Lastly, for clustering or a server, you want to focus on throughput, rather than responsiveness, which means a differently tuned kernel. | 05:01 |
| eagles0513875 | ill download and run as a virtual machine | 05:01 |
| persia | eagles0513875: Take a look at the dependencies of ubuntu-server. | 05:01 |
| eagles0513875 | ok | 05:01 |
| === ScottK needs a function key programmed to say "Backports are for new features. Severe bugs should be fixed via the SRU process, because ..." | ||
| persia | DarkMageZ: Debian is slow. You could ask for other opinions here. I'm not tempted to introduce dpatch without some feedback, and the guidelines on the wiki say not to change the patch system, but there have been exceptions in the past. | 05:02 |
| persia | ScottK: heh. | 05:02 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: er, have you heard of the predefined responses, and keescook's greasemonkey script? | 05:04 |
| eagles0513875 | i see what u guys mean shaves of 300 or so mb off the download | 05:04 |
| === persia wonders why the developer greasemonkey scripts discussed at UDS still haven't been packaged | ||
| Hobbsee | persia: ENOTIME, i expect. which ones? | 05:04 |
| persia | Hobbsee: I forget. Tollef uploaded a bunch of them to err.no during the session, but I completely failed to bookmark it. | 05:05 |
| ScottK | Hobbsee: I have heard of them. I haven't had time to investigate them. | 05:05 |
| eagles0513875 | i hate the way they limit download speeds during the day here | 05:06 |
| Hobbsee | persia: i wonder where tehy are, then | 05:06 |
| eagles0513875 | persia: r the commands pretty much the same as in kubuntu | 05:07 |
| persia | Hobbsee: My vague memory was that there were a couple different ones for LP, and a good clean one got hacked together, and one for the wiki was in progress when the room was taken over by the next session. I never heard about anything else. | 05:08 |
| Hobbsee | persia: this was developer weather report stuff, by any chance? | 05:08 |
| persia | eagles0513875: 1) unless replying to someone, it's better to ask the channel, 2) that's a support request, and off-topic here, 3) yes. | 05:08 |
| persia | Hobbsee: No, special greasemonkey session. | 05:08 |
| Hobbsee | persia: oh right. i'll poke mithrandir over it, then | 05:09 |
| Hobbsee | i cant see it is | 05:09 |
| Hobbsee | er, here | 05:09 |
| eagles0513875 | persia: sry | 05:09 |

| eagles0513875 | lol | 05:10 |
| persia | Hobbsee: http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/uds-sevilla/2007-05-10/ has a list of some of the other people you might also want to check with. | 05:10 |
| DarkMageZ | persia, how could the introduction of a patch system be a bad thing? | 05:10 |
| Hobbsee | persia: ah, thanks | 05:12 |
| Hobbsee | DarkMageZ: just more stuff to merge back | 05:12 |
| Hobbsee | persia: oh, i remember that day | 05:12 |
| persia | DarkMageZ: Well, it changes how the package is maintained, which may annoy the maintainer, it makes it more difficult to use grep to determine if a security issue was resolved, which may annoy the security team, it adds changes not required for the fix, which makes the patches on patches.ubuntu.com less useful, and Debian specifically asked us not to do it without checking. | 05:12 |
| Hobbsee | ohhhh....*now* i remember what we did that morning. | 05:13 |

| Hobbsee | ScottK: answer a) it's in universe, so i dont care, from RM POV (as in, only main freezes), b) that sounds sane, because people will dist-upgrade around the tribes | 06:53 |
| gnomefreak | crimsun: if you want flash its fixed and uploaded to revu i can give you link once i see it there | 06:53 |
| Hobbsee | oh, and c) i'm not the release manager...yet | 06:53 |

| Kmos | this on .desktop aren't wrong for ubuntu | 07:14 |
| Kmos | right? | 07:14 |
| ScottK | leonel: No problem. Isn't Feisty squirrelmail patched to be the same as Gusty? | 07:20 |
| gnomefreak | feisty-proposed packages can be uploaded to revu right? | 07:21 |
| leonel | ScottK: they have the security patches applied but Feisty has 1.4.9a and gutsy is 1.4.10a and there are more than 20 bugfixes | 07:25 |
| ScottK | Ah, so Gutsy == Feisty for security, but their are other bugfixes in Gutsy? | 07:26 |
| ScottK | leonel: Are there any new features in 1.4.10a? | 07:26 |
| leonel | ScottK: bugfixes only let me check right | 07:27 |
| ScottK | leonel: Backports is for new features, not bugfixes, so it'd helpful to your cause if you answered, yes, there is a new feature. | 07:28 |
| leonel | ScottK: I'm checking that | 07:38 |
| ScottK | OK. | 07:38 |
