| TomaszD | Hi. I'm looking for Michael Vogt or someone responsible for displayconfig-gtk | 12:47 |
| TomaszD | I was wondering why isn't a translation template available for this application | 12:47 |
| Kmos | talk to mvo | 12:47 |
| TomaszD | mvo, if you are responsible for displayconfig-gtk, why isn't there a translation template available? | 12:48 |
| TomaszD | is a translation still considered a moving target? | 12:48 |
| mvo | TomaszD: let me have a look | 12:49 |
| TomaszD | mvo, sure. It's just that it stands out terribly among other, translated modules in the menu | 12:49 |
| TomaszD | and it's an essential part of the system now, so it should be available for translation, I guess | 12:50 |

| beuno | TomaszD: it's the wrong URL, but it still seems not to have translations: https://launchpad.net/displayconfig-gtk/ | 12:56 |

| seb128 | I think this guy is working for some non major distro | 12:38 |
| seb128 | or bsd or something | 12:38 |
| Riddell | anyway, if you help me find that patch I can test it | 12:38 |

| Riddell | seb128: yes, but adding a dependency from kde to gtk is an ugly ugly workaround | 12:42 |

| seb128 | Riddell: the comment you pointed shows that libflashplayer is buggy, it doesn't give a way to trigger the bug | 12:43 |

| seb128 | Riddell: right, I was being lazy and wondering if that happens with real world applications in Ubuntu | 12:46 |
| moyogo | it would be nice to have the latest xkb-data to have the new keyboard layouts in gusty | 12:46 |

| Riddell | seb128: well yes, flash in non gtk browsers and acroread | 12:46 |
| moyogo | like gn which allows to type Nko for example | 12:46 |
| moyogo | that would help localizers to work with gusty | 12:46 |

| cjwatson | ogra: sounds like your debconf communication has got out of sync | 02:59 |
| cjwatson | or something else is interfering with stdio | 02:59 |
| ogra | oh, ok | 02:59 |
| cjwatson | I'm prepared to bet large sums of money it's not debconf's fault | 02:59 |
| ogra | surely my fault :) | 03:00 |
| cjwatson | I'm on the phone but I see one problem | 03:00 |
| cjwatson | will let you know in a bit | 03:00 |
| JanDM_ | hi, since alsa 1.0.14 I had a problem with my sound card. So I asked on alsa-devel, and they created a patch, | 03:00 |
| JanDM_ | but this patch is not included in ubuntus current alsa version | 03:00 |
| JanDM_ | so i have to compile alsa myself with every kernel update, | 03:00 |
| JanDM_ | can I ask to include it somewhere? | 03:01 |
| ogra | JanDM_, i guess best is to discuss that in #ubuntu-kernel | 03:02 |
| JanDM_ | okay, thank you! | 03:02 |
| ogra | (not sure though, depends if its for a module) | 03:02 |
| === viviersf [n=cain@gw.impilinux.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| JanDM_ | ogra: yes it's a kernel module | 03:03 |
| ogra | then -kernel should be right | 03:03 |
| cjwatson | ogra: ok, your problem is probably that 'cat $FIFO | while read line' uses stdio, which is getting in the way of using debconf | 03:03 |
| ogra | oh, ok | 03:03 |
| cjwatson | ogra: I encountered this same problem in the past in archive-copier | 03:03 |
| cjwatson | ogra: what you should do instead is: | 03:04 |
| ogra | so i need to redirect that as well | 03:04 |
| cjwatson | while read line <&9; do ...; done 9<$FIFO | 03:04 |
| ogra | ah, right | 03:04 |
| === shiyee [n=Shiyee@homer.appl.cs.aau.dk] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | ogra: also why is it all within 'while true'? you should probably remove that otherwise it'll just sit in an infinite loop - the 'while read line' is good enough as a loop | 03:04 |
| ogra | yeah, thats for playing | 03:05 |
| cjwatson | ogra: you also might want to put 'rm $FIFO' before 'exit 0' ;-) | 03:05 |

| ogra | *inside | 03:48 |
| cjwatson | ogra: that's irrelevant to debconf | 03:49 |
| cjwatson | probably a red herring | 03:50 |
| cjwatson | perhaps you lost stdout somewhere else | 03:50 |
| ogra | well... somehow the chrooted commands end up on the debconf screen again | 03:50 |
| ogra | yeah | 03:50 |
| cjwatson | debconf couldn't care less whether you've chrooted | 03:50 |
| ogra | obviously ... | 03:50 |
| cjwatson | we do it all the time | 03:50 |
| cjwatson | all you need to do is send commands down the right fd | 03:50 |

| lamont | gpm-profile.c:342: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type | 03:51 |
| lamont | stupid mouse | 03:51 |
| cjwatson | from the code you showed me earlier, it would in fact be unable to tell whether ltsp-build-client is chrooting itself or not | 03:51 |
| ogra | cjwatson, right, that means ltsp-build-client needs internal redirects ... | 03:51 |
| cjwatson | err | 03:51 |
| cjwatson | surely absence of internal redirects | 03:52 |
| cjwatson | if you don't redirect, fds get left alone | 03:52 |
| cjwatson | basic Unix | 03:52 |
| ogra | right, and the chrooted commands use stdout it seems ... | 03:52 |
| ogra | instead of my redirect | 03:52 |
| cjwatson | so? it's the same stdout that you redirected to the fifo | 03:52 |
| cjwatson | no | 03:52 |
| cjwatson | that is not possible | 03:52 |
| ogra | hmm | 03:52 |
| cjwatson | "stdout" is just an fd | 03:53 |
| === ssam [n=sam@87.127.117.246] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| cjwatson | when you redirect, you *throw away* the old fd | 03:53 |

| doko | go thunderbird! | 03:53 |

| === mthaddon [n=mthaddon@canonical/launchpad/mthaddon] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra | indeed | 03:54 |
| ogra | andits setting the frontend iirc | 03:54 |
| cjwatson | so you cannot do this whole scheme | 03:54 |
| === ogra greps | ||
| cjwatson | it will be a race condition | 03:54 |
| cjwatson | you can't run ltsp-build-client in the background and simultaneously talk to debconf from somewhere else | 03:55 |
| ogra | hmm | 03:55 |
| cjwatson | ltsp-build-client needs to handle the debconf interaction itself, and it probably needs to use in-target to chroot | 03:55 |
| cjwatson | which will deal with the debconf passthrough gubbins you need | 03:55 |

| ogra | phew ... thats a lot of plugins to change then | 03:56 |
| === ogra looks through them | ||
| cjwatson | that's probably not the right approach | 03:56 |
| cjwatson | pick apart in-target and do its chroot setup stuff at the top level if you're being called in a context with a debconf frontend already running | 03:56 |
| ogra | ok | 03:57 |
| === ogra goes to dig | ||
| mjg59 | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download - the language on the second option "64 bit AMD and Intel computers" seems potentially confusing | 03:57 |
| cjwatson | and, on the same condition, have ltsp-build-client source the confmodule and do the progress output itself | 03:57 |
| mjg59 | Someone just told me they interpreted it as (64 bit AMD) and Intel computers | 03:57 |
| cjwatson | mjg59: I think there's an ubuntu-website project for bug reports on that | 03:57 |

| mathiaz | ogra: do you remember why pitti doesn't want ot use dbconfig-common for moodle ? | 07:37 |
| mathiaz | ogra: and also why not use wwwconfig-common ? | 07:38 |
| ogra | first of all he didnt want it ust for moodle in main | 07:38 |
| ogra | second he didnt want to *just replace* a security broken system with one thats only slightly better (in his opinion) | 07:38 |
| mathiaz | ogra: you're talking about dbcommon-config or wwwconfig-common ? | 07:39 |
| ogra | the clear advice he made was to replace wwwconfig-common with plain scripts for mysql and postgres creation | 07:39 |
| ogra | mathiaz, both | 07:39 |
| mathiaz | ogra: ok. Thanks for the clarification. | 07:40 |
| ogra | wwwconfig-common was refised by the security team | 07:40 |
| ogra | *refused | 07:40 |
| ogra | dbconfig-common would only replace it ... have a slightly better security but wouldnt really gain anything | 07:40 |
| ogra | but we'd still have that extra dep | 07:40 |
| mathiaz | ogra: ok. But it seems that there is a need for a common way to handle database setup. | 07:41 |
| ogra | mathiaz, i personally really dont care if it has either, i just want it in main | 07:41 |

| ogra | -ones | 07:42 |
| ogra | seems moquist made some good progress n the mysql fron here ... | 07:43 |
| mathiaz | ogra: that makes sense then. | 07:43 |
| mathiaz | ogra: do you wanna get it into main for gutsy ? | 07:43 |
| ogra | but we have tons of postgres users out there ... so that needs to be supported as well | 07:43 |
| ogra | mathiaz, i wanted it in main for breezy :P ... indeed i do :) | 07:43 |
| mathiaz | ogra: I see... Why not drop mysql then ? | 07:44 |
| mathiaz | ogra: and just support postgresql | 07:44 |
| ogra | postgres you mean | 07:44 |
| ogra | moquist doesnt have any postgres support in yet | 07:44 |
| ogra | and there are likely as many postgres as mysql users | 07:44 |
| mathiaz | ogra: well. I've seen some code about posgres. | 07:45 |

| ogra | moquist, apache2 as a conf.d dir afaik | 07:53 |
| ogra | *has | 07:53 |
| ogra | as well as sites-available and mods-available ... | 07:54 |
| ogra | moquist, so we should be able to just drop moddle configs in there and use the native apache tools to enable them | 07:54 |
| ogra | moquist, i dont really care about old apache ... and ssl in the 2 version shouldt behave differently to the non ssl variant, its just some config change | 07:55 |
| moquist | ogra: I hadn't checked until now, but the package is already using apache2/conf.d correctly. I believe the preinst script is just trying to clean up from older versions of the package (of apache?) that didn't use a conf.d directory [correctly] . | 07:57 |
| ogra | moquist, for point 2 just dont ask for these values if you dont need them :) | 07:57 |
| ogra | ah, k | 07:57 |
| ogra | i think we can ignore apache1 ... | 07:57 |
| moquist | ogra: Right, which is what I figured, except that if they want postgres running somewhere other than localhost then we need to know so we can bail. Or maybe we just don't ask, and the package assumes localhost for postgres. ? | 07:57 |
| ogra | have a question for it ("you run postgres, by default we do that locally, do you want a different setup") | 07:58 |
| ogra | preseed that and make sure it doesnt get asked on CD installs | 07:59 |

| moquist | Hmm. These deps are already a bit messed up; we're always getting postgresql-client and libdbd-mysql-perl. That doesn't seem right. | 08:04 |
| ogra | (upstream == debian here) | 08:04 |
| moquist | ogra: No, but I only pinged once. | 08:04 |
| moquist | And I didn't really have anything done at the time. | 08:04 |
| ogra | well, if we're done lets offer him code :) | 08:04 |
| mayeco | when we have a kde4 project in launchpad? | 08:05 |
| ogra | ready made code is more tempting :) | 08:05 |
| moquist | *when* we're done. we definitely aren't yet. | 08:05 |
| iwj | ogra: I was redoing the cryptsetup MIR and I saw a statement presumably from you saying `note that there are some motu tools that even generate MIRs from the template page'. Can you point me at those please ? | 08:05 |
| iwj | ogra: Because I don't think that's a very good idea. The point of a report is to summarise the results of investigation and analysis, not just to repeat some formula. | 08:05 |
| ogra | iwj, LaserJock wrote some stuff but dropped them again when the format changed | 08:05 |
| iwj | Oh, good. | 08:06 |
| iwj | I'm not trying to make life difficult, obviously. | 08:06 |
| iwj | In fact, that's almost precisely it. The point of the report isn't just a hoop to jump through, it's to document the results of the investigation so that we can make a sensible decision, and so on. | 08:07 |
| ogra | right :) | 08:07 |
| iwj | If the formatting of the report is harder than the figuring out what to write in it, then we're doing something wrong. | 08:08 |
| ogra | we should even have deeper discussions about the apps we include imho ... but thats a matter of time to invest we still lack manpower for imho | 08:08 |
| iwj | I think we'll have to realise that we're constantly going to lack manpower. | 08:08 |
| ogra | well, but compare the clean small main of warty with what we have today :) | 08:09 |
| iwj | I don't think it's a huge problem to have much stuff in main. Having it installed by default is a different matter. | 08:10 |
| ogra | well, but a constantly growing main has indeed some relation to constant lack of manpower | 08:11 |
| iwj | True. | 08:11 |
| iwj | But that's just the world of software, really. | 08:11 |
| ogra | indeed | 08:12 |

| mayeco | Riddell: hi you are the kde mantainer, dont you thing will be more easy to find kde4 bugs? | 08:13 |
| iwj | If and when I get a `yes' from you I'll upload and I think that will allow us to promote the package. | 08:14 |
| mayeco | Riddell: dont you think? | 08:14 |
| Riddell | mayeco: I don't think it's very useful to report upstream kde 4 bugs to launchpad, you can report packaging bugs of course | 08:17 |
| mayeco | Riddell: ahhh... so bug should go to kde.org? | 08:18 |
| Riddell | mayeco: bugs.kde.org if you think it'll be helpful to them (but given the state of kde 4, there's plenty needing fixed without bugs being reported) | 08:19 |

| Mithrandir | I think specifying the freeze down to the minute is silly. | 08:52 |
| LaserJock | well, I know | 08:52 |
| LaserJock | but with Feisty we had some problems | 08:52 |
| LaserJock | and packages that were supposed to get in didn't etc. | 08:52 |
| LaserJock | so we need to be clear with ubuntu-archive what packages they need to review | 08:52 |
| LaserJock | and if we don't set a hard deadline we tend to get people pushing it and pushing it | 08:52 |
| LaserJock | for the New Packages Freeze anyway | 08:52 |
| Mithrandir | from -archive's point of view, anything _not in_ by a freeze doesn't matter, and needs an exception. | 08:52 |
| Mithrandir | whether it's uploaded half a year or a day in advance doesn't matter. | 08:52 |
| === tehk [n=tehk@c-69-249-157-157.hsd1.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| LaserJock | in the past we've considered that anything uploaded to NEW by freeze should be reviewed | 08:52 |
| Mithrandir | then there is a disconnect there. | 08:52 |
| LaserJock | yes, which causes problems like every release | 08:52 |
| === ScottK can probably find a co-consipirator in motu-uvf for a blanket exception if you want one... | ||
| bddebian | Doh | 08:53 |
| LaserJock | it's a big deal for contributors when the *finally* get their package through REVU | 08:53 |
| LaserJock | and then it sits in NEW and doesn't make it into the release | 08:53 |
| sistpoty | hm... imo the gist of new freeze is to get devs focussed on bug fixing, right? so processing everything in the new queue until package freeze seems like a good idea to me | 08:53 |
| bddebian | Mithrandir: Are you saying from the archive admins point of view anything not already accepted into the archive by the freeze is out? | 08:54 |
| Mithrandir | bddebian: that's always been my understanding as a member of both the release and the archive team, yes. | 08:55 |
| === coNP [n=conp@ubuntu/member/coNP] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||

| === _MMA_ can attest to a exception pretty much being worthless. | ||
| bddebian | Yikes that would have been good to know | 08:57 |
| Mithrandir | ScottK: mailing -archive with a list should be fine. | 08:58 |
| LaserJock | well, I think the key is that whatever MOTU decides to do that the archive team needs to be informed | 08:58 |

| ScottK | soren: Are you awake/online? | 08:58 |
| Mithrandir | _MMA_: without an exception, you will not have your thing accepted, with it, you might have it accepted, but you don't have any guarantees. | 08:58 |
| asisak | ion_: we have uploaded it well before the freeze | 08:58 |
| bddebian | LaserJock: Doesn't that need to work the other way? We can't "inform" the admins of anything, they have the power, no? | 08:59 |
| _MMA_ | Mithrandir: Because of the work involved, especially for new contributors, it should. | 08:59 |
| LaserJock | bddebian: well, that's the thing | 08:59 |
| ion_ | asisak: Very recently? Thats great to hear. | 08:59 |
| asisak | ion_: 2007-08-28 13:20 CEST | 09:00 |
| LaserJock | the problem is that there is a disconnect (sometimes a big one) between what gets uploaded and what actually makes it in | 09:00 |
| LaserJock | it's very harmful for contributors if they get something all the way through REVU | 09:00 |
| LaserJock | it's good packaging and it's all set | 09:00 |
| _MMA_ | It's very deterring just to go through the packaging work. Then to have to go through the exception process and it _still_ not get in. That wont keep people contributing. | 09:00 |
| LaserJock | and it doesn't make it in because ubuntu-archive couldn't get to it in time | 09:01 |
| Mithrandir | _MMA_: I don't have 24 hours a day extra to pull out of my magic hat. Do you? | 09:01 |
| asisak | ion_: it sits in the NEW queue | 09:01 |
| LaserJock | Mithrandir: you don't need an extra day | 09:01 |
| _MMA_ | Mithrandir: Sure, but if you're the only one shouldering this, things are very wrong. | 09:01 |
| Mithrandir | really, it's not like -archive is conspiring to not have packages in the archive, it's just that we don't have the time to do so. | 09:01 |
| asisak | Mithrandir: I was sure packages uploaded in time will be processed. | 09:02 |
| Mithrandir | _MMA_: I'm not, but all of the archive team has other things to do too. | 09:02 |
| LaserJock | but that's the deal though Mithrandir | 09:02 |
| LaserJock | if it goes by upload time then you don't have to worry about it so much | 09:02 |
| _MMA_ | Thats where I think we're failing. People are taking on too much. | 09:02 |

| ion_ | asisak: Ok, thanks. | 09:03 |
| Mithrandir | asisak: I don't know where you got that impression from, since it was certainly nothing like what I was trying to communicate when I was release manager. | 09:03 |
| LaserJock | we just need to know what will get processed, not *when* it will get processed | 09:03 |
| LaserJock | Mithrandir: that has been the MOTU understanding since dapper | 09:03 |
| Mithrandir | LaserJock: that has not been discussed with those who actually process packages, nor with the release team. | 09:04 |
| === asisak does not want to force anyone anything. We should define our processes in a way where developers / MOTUs can see what a deadline exactly means. | ||
| Mithrandir | LaserJock: hence, send a list from a member of motu-uvf granting an exception for the packages that should go in. | 09:04 |
| Mithrandir | there's still no magic in them being accepted, but they might be processed then. | 09:04 |
| Mithrandir | _MMA_: if you think that I should resign from the release and archive teams, I could do that, sure. I don't think that'd make more packages get through. | 09:04 |
| _MMA_ | LaserJock: But shouldn't "what" be determined by a date? Since getting involved I was under the impression that what the freeze dates were for. (looks like you were as well) | 09:04 |
| LaserJock | Mithrandir: which packages need exceptions then? | 09:05 |
| _MMA_ | Mithrandir: You're taking this personally. There's no need. | 09:05 |

| === slomo_ [n=slomo@ubuntu/member/slomo] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| bddebian | I still think it would be ideal if we could have a Universe archive admin but I don't know if that is feasible given the resources | 09:06 |
| Mithrandir | LaserJock: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/queue/gutsy/new/ is the current NEW queue. | 09:06 |
| _MMA_ | I made no specific suggestions. My only one would to be that we take on less and have specific jobs that we can complete as expected. | 09:07 |
| Mithrandir | bddebian: we don't have the infrastructure to be granting per-component archive admin privileges. | 09:07 |
| bddebian | Mithrandir: I know. As I said, it would be nice. | 09:08 |
| Mithrandir | yeah. Like ponies. | 09:08 |
| LaserJock | Mithrandir: so you're saying everything that is currently in the NEW queue needs an exception? | 09:08 |
| bddebian | ponies!! | 09:08 |
| Mithrandir | LaserJock: anything source, I'd say. | 09:09 |
| Mithrandir | I don't think we're going to have a freeze for binaries. | 09:10 |
| LaserJock | ok, but that's clearly unacceptable | 09:10 |
| LaserJock | we gotta figure something out here | 09:10 |
| _MMA_ | lol. Great. | 09:10 |
| LaserJock | there is a package from the 7th in there | 09:10 |
| sistpoty | Mithrandir: imo using exceptions to get a fixed date for new packages freeze is a workaround of the policy. Hence we should fix the policy instead. | 09:11 |
| Mithrandir | if you want to grant a blanket exception, find out what's from before the freeze and mail that list to -archive. | 09:11 |
| Mithrandir | it really doesn't seem that hard to me. | 09:11 |
| sistpoty | if it's only about getting that list, let's make that policy that motu-uvf could take care of, what do you think? | 09:12 |
| sistpoty | Mithrandir: should I send a mail to -devel for further discussion on the topic? | 09:13 |
| Mithrandir | sistpoty: sure, feel free. | 09:14 |

| seb128 | _MMA_: everybody deserves some holidays, you are not fair there | 09:46 |
| LaserJock | seb128: MOTU have had one, but it seems ubuntu-archive didn't know/understnad | 09:46 |
| ThorstenSick | Hi I am new to ubuntu development, but _maybe: I got a good idea: is it possible to priorize packages of new software ? So new contributors will not be disappointed. Software where older versions have already been checked will have to wait in the queue... | 09:46 |
| bddebian | haha | 09:46 |
| seb128 | LaserJock: maybe MOTU didn't communicate it clearly out of their land? ;) | 09:46 |
| Daviey | seb128: true! not saying that.. but if holidays are getting in the way - there *needs* to be more people.. Ubuntu has the talent | 09:46 |
| mjg59 | ThorstenSick: Packages that are already in the archive do not need reviewing | 09:46 |
| _MMA_ | seb128: Sure. I never said that. If someone goes, someone else takes over. | 09:46 |
| seb128 | _MMA_: easy to say, not easy to find people trusted, not too busy, etc | 09:47 |

| seb128 | we just need to say we allow packages uploaded before the freeze | 09:47 |
| LaserJock | seb128: well, we understood that ubuntu-archive had the same policy | 09:47 |
| Daviey | Yes.. /me grabs his lighter fluid to squirt on the ML | 09:48 |
| _MMA_ | seb128: Again. The issue isnt the delay. Its things not getting processed period. :) | 09:48 |
| seb128 | LaserJock: I'm telling you that I'm not aware of a policy | 09:48 |
| seb128 | _MMA_: things always get processed | 09:48 |
| seb128 | _MMA_: the queue was empty one month ago | 09:48 |
| _MMA_ | Not true at all. | 09:48 |
| seb128 | we have nothing waiting for over a month there | 09:48 |

| === ScottK sets a cron job: "ScottK quietly suggests people stop arguing on IRC and we take this to the mailing list." | ||
| seb128 | _MMA_: well, I've access to the queue and do NEW work almost every week | 09:49 |
| seb128 | I can tell you it was empty some weeks ago | 09:49 |
| seb128 | and that I look quite often at it | 09:49 |

| LaserJock | seb128: this happens every release though it seems | 09:49 |

| seb128 | LaserJock: can't speak for previous cycle, I'm one of the new members | 09:49 |
| seb128 | the team was too small previous cycle | 09:50 |
| seb128 | it should somewhat scale now | 09:50 |
| _MMA_ | Sorry man. You havnt seen everything Ive said. :) I had 4 packages sitting in NEW that werent processed for Feisty. Nobody touched them then I was told they would need exceptions. Still were never processed. Same thing will happen now. | 09:50 |
| Daviey | seb128: and it seems that the team is still too small - if holidays are an issue | 09:50 |

| seb128 | Daviey: holidays and distro team workload create some delay | 09:51 |
| _MMA_ | Daviey: +1 but like he said, "easy to say, not easy to find people trusted, not too busy, etc" | 09:51 |
| seb128 | that's not that of an issue thoufg | 09:51 |
| seb128 | though | 09:51 |
| seb128 | we will catch up soon | 09:51 |
| seb128 | don't base your opinion on previous cycle though, the team was too small | 09:51 |
| seb128 | it should be better now | 09:52 |
| _MMA_ | seb128: So _you're_ saying everything currently in NEW _won't_ need an exception? | 09:52 |
| sistpoty | ok, mail sent to -devel, I guess it might be a good thing to follow up for the discussion *there* | 09:52 |
| ogra | and for the policy as far as universe is concerned the motu council should define whats the deadline (upload or build) | 09:52 |
| mjg59 | _MMA_: Seb is not in a position to say that. | 09:52 |
| Chipzz | seb128: sure it matters that they are weeks old. If they are weeks old, that implies that other packages got processed right away | 09:52 |
| ScottK | CRON: "ScottK quietly suggests people stop arguing on IRC and we take this to the mailing list." | 09:53 |
| _MMA_ | mjg59: Sure. And who is? | 09:53 |
| sistpoty | ogra: MC has until now merely acted to discuss new applications, since the motu team can make decisions during meetings | 09:53 |
| mjg59 | _MMA_: The archive team as a whole should determine this policy, probably in conjunction with the release team. | 09:53 |
| Chipzz | seb128: since you claimed you had been doing archive duties yesterday | 09:54 |
| ogra | sistpoty, imho defining procedures and freze dates if part of the MC work | 09:54 |
| mjg59 | If no policy currently exists, then arguing on IRC will not achieve anything | 09:54 |

| Chipzz | starvation | 09:54 |
| Daviey | mjg59: why not? that would seem logical? | 09:54 |
| mjg59 | Some packages are more important than others | 09:54 |
| mjg59 | Some packages are easier to process than others | 09:54 |
| sistpoty | ogra: sure, but only together with MOTUs not merely from a place above... but imo that's a completely different discussion ;) | 09:55 |
| mjg59 | That's not going to change | 09:55 |
| _MMA_ | mjg59: I dont feel we're arguing. :) There seems to be a slight miss-communication and lack of man-power in the end. | 09:55 |
| Chipzz | mjg59: sure I understand that. but that doesn't mean that less important/easy packages should be delayed again and again | 09:55 |
| Chipzz | mjg59: you need to do them at one point | 09:55 |
| mjg59 | They will be done at some point | 09:55 |
| ogra | sistpoty, right, i just wanted to point out that the issue for a universe freeze should be brought to the MC instead of having a wild discussion in -devel ;) | 09:55 |
| _MMA_ | mjg59: "miss-communication" as far as policy. | 09:55 |
| Daviey | Chipzz: I apprciate that some packages are show-stoppers if not done first | 09:56 |

| Chipzz | I didn't say I didn't (appreciate that). I'm saying you cannot keep using that as an excuse | 09:56 |
| ScottK | I really don't think all this finger pointing is helpful. | 09:57 |
| soren | ScottK: Wazzup? | 09:57 |
| Chipzz | may be a hard limit on how long packages can be in the new queue | 09:57 |
| mjg59 | Chipzz: Do you have any evidence that there are packages that have never been processed? | 09:57 |
| ScottK | soren: I'll PM you... | 09:57 |
| Chipzz | mjg59: I wasn't saying never | 09:57 |
| sistpoty | ogra: sure, but archive admins have something to say to this as well ;) | 09:57 |
| soren | ScottK: Uh, is it secret? Cool! | 09:57 |
| bddebian | heh | 09:57 |
| LaserJock | mjg59: there are some that get dumped to the next release | 09:57 |
| Chipzz | mjg59: I'm guessing that the complaint is about too long delays | 09:58 |
| sistpoty | sheesh, that was denglish again | 09:58 |
| mjg59 | Chipzz: No, the complaint is nothing to do with delays | 09:58 |
| ogra | sistpoty, about their job of processin probably, but the MC should set the dates and policies for the devs | 09:58 |
| ogra | sistpoty, as the TB does for main | 09:58 |
| mjg59 | The complaint is whether packages in NEW before UVF should still enter the release | 09:58 |
| Chipzz | but anyway, something like: sure there may be showstoppers, but if a package is longer in the queue than say 2 weeks (arbitrary number), you have to do that first? | 09:59 |
| sistpoty | mjg59: not uvf, but npf... we got a new tla there ;) | 09:59 |
| mjg59 | sistpoty: Eh, whichever :) | 09:59 |
| sistpoty | hehe | 09:59 |
| mjg59 | But it's a legitimate question, and one that should be discussed with the archive, release and motu bodies | 09:59 |
| bddebian | sistpoty: ach the acronyms.. my eyes.... | 09:59 |
| Chipzz | which may be an incentive to do the less important packages sooner rather than later | 09:59 |

| CharlesEdwardPax | Hi, folks, I'm hoping someone can help me get started with the new PPA system on Launchpad. | 09:59 |
| CharlesEdwardPax | I have a handy little application in Python using libglade called Gladex (http://www.openphysics.org/~gladex/), which is hosted in Launchpad bzr. I hacked together a Makefile that will output a binary package when the user types "make package"; this is located in the bzr repository. This is fine for personal use and distribution to those who don't mind poking around a bit. However, in the hopes of distributing to a wider | 10:00 |
| CharlesEdwardPax | The problem I'm having is making a source package that won't make PPA's automated build system puke. All the tutorials and documentation I've found are more complex than I would hope for. | 10:00 |
| CharlesEdwardPax | Does anyone have an example or can point me to some good information on how I need to structure the code in the bzr repository and what files must be included in the bzr repository? | 10:00 |
| Daviey | s/argued/discussed | 10:00 |
| Kmos | CharlesEdwardPax: ask on #launchpad | 10:00 |
| mjg59 | CharlesEdwardPax: My understanding was that PPA packages need to conform to the same standards as normal distribution packages | 10:01 |
| seb128 | re | 10:01 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: sure I process feature goals before random games | 10:01 |
| Daviey | CharlesEdwardPax: keep in mind that PPA won't currently sign packages | 10:01 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: you think we should not apply a priority for goals? | 10:01 |
| Chipzz | seb128: it's a simple question of scheduling | 10:02 |
| Chipzz | even the kernel has the same principle | 10:02 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: it's a simple question of being overworked already | 10:02 |
| seb128 | I wanted to 1 hour of NEW handling | 10:02 |
| seb128 | I started with things blocking people | 10:02 |
| Chipzz | sure there may be important processes, but to prevent starvation, sometimes less important processes get processed first | 10:02 |
| CharlesEdwardPax | I'm new to packaging, so I don't really know where to start. I've looked at the Ubuntu Packaing Guide, but I can't quite figure things out. | 10:03 |
| seb128 | right, when we are processing "random" things waiting it makes sense to use order | 10:03 |

| Kmos | CharlesEdwardPax: both | 10:05 |
| seb128 | I don't think that 2 weeks of waiting in august is an issue though | 10:05 |
| asisak | CharlesEdwardPax: for development issues #ubuntu-motu | 10:05 |
| LaserJock | CharlesEdwardPax: if you want to learn how to package #ubuntu-motu | 10:06 |
| Daviey | CharlesEdwardPax: packaging #ubuntu-motu / #launchpad for PPA | 10:06 |
| Chipzz | seb128: but who's to say that throwing more resources (ie people) at it actually solves the fundamental problem? | 10:06 |
| LaserJock | I don't think 2 weeks is bad normally at all | 10:06 |
| LaserJock | a lot of times Debian is 2 weeks-1month | 10:06 |
| CharlesEdwardPax | I'll check them out. Thanks, everyone. | 10:06 |
| Daviey | but 2 weeks right before UVF? | 10:06 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: what do you mean? saying what? | 10:07 |
| ScottK | CRON: "ScottK quietly suggests people stop arguing on IRC and we take this to the mailing list." | 10:07 |
| sistpoty | thanks ScottK | 10:07 |
| LaserJock | but on a 6month release cycle does mean that we need to get stuff processed at some point | 10:07 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: it's easy to say "we need extra volunteers", that's now how it works though | 10:07 |
| Chipzz | seb128: saying that as ubuntu grows, the new queue may grow bigger and you'll need to add more people again | 10:07 |
| asisak | Chipzz: Sure, as "Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later" | 10:07 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: we did add several people this cycle | 10:08 |
| bhale | I don't expect to see Canonical allow volunteers to process NEW | 10:08 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: we added the people who are fit for the job and wanting to do it | 10:08 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: if you know of other people we match the description let we know though | 10:08 |

| sistpoty | bhale: why not (if no access to the DC were needed)? | 10:09 |
| Chipzz | 22:06 < Chipzz> seb128: but who's to say that throwing more resources (ie people) at it actually solves the fundamental problem? 22:07 < Chipzz> seb128: saying that as ubuntu grows, the new queue may grow bigger and you'll need to add more people again | 10:09 |
| bhale | sistpoty: oh, I am thinking of the bad old days. you are correct. | 10:09 |
| mjg59 | Chipzz: If the queue gets impractical for the current team to handle, then the order of processing will make no difference. | 10:09 |
| sistpoty | bhale: well, we're not there yet ;) | 10:09 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: ? | 10:09 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: there is also ton of bugs without a reply | 10:10 |
| seb128 | sure we could do with extra contributors | 10:10 |
| Chipzz | what I was implying is rather than adding more people you may also need to impose some rules on how what gets processed | 10:10 |
| seb128 | the things is that volunteer decide by themself what they want to do | 10:10 |
| mjg59 | Chipzz: No, that doesn't help. | 10:10 |
| pkern | What's the policy for syncing new Debian revisions (for both main and universe, and taking the current point in time into account)? | 10:10 |
| seb128 | that's not up to us to pick somebody and assign him tasks | 10:10 |
| Kmos | pkern: man requestsync | 10:11 |
| Chipzz | pkern: make sure there is a valid reason other than "It's new"? | 10:11 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: "stop processing things blocking people or which are goals and process random games nobody cares first because they are waiting longer"? | 10:11 |
| Chipzz | ;) | 10:11 |
| Daviey | seb128: That's quite extreme.. that's not what Chipzz means | 10:11 |
| seb128 | Daviey: well, either you force a "first uploaded, first processed" rule which means that | 10:12 |
| seb128 | or you let people act in function of what think should have the priority | 10:12 |
| seb128 | which is what we do now | 10:12 |
| Chipzz | seb128: what I was proposing was something in between actually ;) | 10:13 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: how would you define it then? | 10:13 |
| Daviey | But the bottom line is that the team shouldn't be that stretched that they need to prioritise | 10:13 |
| seb128 | Daviey: well, and we should not have bugs without a reply | 10:13 |
| Daviey | v. true | 10:13 |
| seb128 | Daviey: the issue is that we have too much to do for the number of people we have | 10:14 |
| Daviey | Some go back to 2005! | 10:14 |
| LaserJock | Daviey: we'll always be stretched | 10:14 |
| seb128 | and that's not something a rule will make better | 10:14 |
| Chipzz | seb128: a hard limit on how long something should be in the queue | 10:14 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: how long would be the limit? | 10:14 |
| Daviey | then it gets dumped if it goes past the hard limit :) | 10:14 |

| seb128 | what hints? | 10:16 |
| EvanCarroll | I hope the fonts get a comlete overhaul before gutsy is released. Merge FB puts my DBI at 110,65, dropping all my default font sizes down to 6, still leaves them entirely too big for my liking. | 10:16 |

| joejaxx | ScottK: yeah it is quite unfortunate | 10:16 |
| Kmos | pkern: that's bad :) | 10:16 |
| Chipzz | package i gets precedence because it's important and there are no non-important packages in the queue older than the limit (2 weeks) | 10:16 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: we have freezes going on a week for tribe, I don't think 2 weeks is a reasonable delay | 10:16 |
| seb128 | it means people have to process everything in the week after the freeze | 10:17 |
| pkern | Kmos: Actually the packages I want to sync are currently transitioning from universe to main but I just added missing translations to the Debian packages. (One-line change.) | 10:17 |
| Chipzz | seb128: like I said, 2 weeks is arbitrarily chosen and meant just to be an example. work with me here | 10:17 |
| Kmos | pkern: ask in #ubuntu-motu about that | 10:17 |
| === ScottK wonders if Canonical offered expedited NEW processing as a paid service, people would put their money where their mouth is.... | ||
| pkern | Kmos: So even if I get a component mismatch currently motu is still my point of contact? Fine. | 10:17 |
| Daviey | ScottK: naa | 10:17 |
| Chipzz | scenario b: package n (non-imp) is in the queue for 3 weeks and thus exceeds the limit. even though package i is important, package n gets precedence to prevent starvation | 10:18 |
| seb128 | ScottK: I think 3 weeks is already a long delay for things in NEW this cycle | 10:18 |
| seb128 | almost every is processed before that | 10:18 |
| seb128 | I don't think have to wait 10 days is that of an issue | 10:18 |
| seb128 | most of the time we process new uploads in the week | 10:18 |
| ScottK | NEW has been much better this time than in Feisty. | 10:18 |
| ScottK | Agreed. | 10:18 |
| === ScottK just wished people would quit kvetching and go do something productive. | ||
| seb128 | ScottK: the team got new member, that's going in the good direction | 10:18 |
| ScottK | Absolutely. | 10:19 |
| seb128 | so what is the issue? | 10:19 |
| sistpoty | Chipzz: scheduling strategies don't have humans to interact. ;) | 10:19 |
| Mithrandir | which has something to do with having three and four archive admins rather than.. just me. | 10:19 |
| Mithrandir | :-P | 10:19 |
| Chipzz | sistpoty :) | 10:19 |
| snikker | why if a "filename.templates" in (in the po folder of a source code) start with a block comment (#), the templates file in the packaged version (build with "debuild -uc -us") is replaced with a blank line? | 10:19 |
| ScottK | We had a disconnect this time around about what exactly New Package Freeze means. We've had it before. We'll muddle through this time like we always do. | 10:19 |
| Chipzz | seb128: also note that scenario b could be proactively prevented | 10:19 |
| ScottK | The imporant thing is to have a clear/coordinated policy for next time around. | 10:20 |
| seb128 | I agree that we need to decide how the freezes applies | 10:20 |
| Kmos | snikker: #ubuntu-motu | 10:20 |
| seb128 | if that's the upload of processing which counts | 10:20 |
| seb128 | and that will be fixed | 10:20 |
| seb128 | I'll raise the issue | 10:20 |
| seb128 | anything else that should be discussed in your opinion? | 10:21 |
| snikker | Kmos: i've already asked there, but with not answer... | 10:21 |
| Mithrandir | Chipzz: seriously, trying to enforce that would a) not work and b) make at least me much more liable to quickly find a reason to reject the unimportant package rather than finding all the problematic bits of it. | 10:21 |
| Kmos | snikker: wait for someone to answer you.. | 10:21 |
| snikker | Kmos: ok | 10:21 |
| Chipzz | Mithrandir: I was afraid of something like that ;) | 10:22 |
| Chipzz | Mithrandir: you could come up with variants of it though | 10:23 |
| Chipzz | say, if there are n packages exceeding the limit you only have to process one | 10:23 |
| seb128 | trying to enforce rules over overworked people doesn't work | 10:23 |
| seb128 | you will like just lead them to stop volunteering for the work | 10:23 |

| Mithrandir | Chipzz: really, that's not how it works. Do you think we should be blocked on upstream replying to concerns about a package and block everything on that? | 10:24 |
| Chipzz | Mithrandir: I indeed don't think we should. but what I'm referring to is working on the new queue, not letting as many packages through as possible ;) | 10:25 |
| Chipzz | seb128: likewise the argument was that if new contributors don't get their packages processed in a reasonable amount of time, they will stop volunteering too | 10:26 |
| _MMA_ | "seb128: you will like just lead them to stop volunteering for the work" And whats wrong with that? My feeling is if you cant do the job why take it on? There's nothing wrong with that. | 10:26 |
| mjg59 | _MMA_: Then nobody does the job. Which is kind of bad. | 10:27 |
| seb128 | Chipzz: I think the delay has been reasonable through this cycle and that there is no reason for such a discussion | 10:27 |
| Chipzz | in which case I guess it boils down to: well, I guess a MOTU volunteer is more dispensable than an archive admin... | 10:27 |
| seb128 | as said we had 3 packages in NEW for 3 weeks | 10:27 |
| seb128 | everything else is 2 weeks or newer | 10:27 |
| seb128 | and that's probably a busy time in the cycle | 10:27 |
| _MMA_ | mjg59: Something close to what's being said now anyway right? | 10:27 |
| seb128 | _MMA_: nobody else is going to do it ;) | 10:28 |
| Mithrandir | Chipzz: it's certainly a tradeoff between spending time on making sure we get new blood and doing other work. | 10:28 |
| mjg59 | _MMA_: No. | 10:28 |
| EvanCarroll | right. I think that is the default. | 10:28 |
| EvanCarroll | m/t | 10:28 |
| seb128 | _MMA_: you think that no processing NEW is better than having a few weeks of delay, I don't think there is lot to discuss there | 10:28 |
| Chipzz | seb128: but then, I'm just throwing in some idea's on how *possibly* to make it more fair :) | 10:28 |
| Chipzz | seb128: if you think there is no problem, then we (I) should stop this discussion ;) | 10:29 |
| seb128 | well, I would like to be proved that is has been an issue this cycle first | 10:29 |
| _MMA_ | seb128: You keep focusing on a delay. Thats not the issue _at_all_. Its things making it in before freeze and not being processed. | 10:29 |
| seb128 | _MMA_: did you read the chan? | 10:29 |
| seb128 | <seb128> if that's the upload of processing which counts | 10:30 |
| seb128 | and that will be fixed | 10:30 |
| seb128 | I'll raise the issue | 10:30 |
| seb128 | anything else that should be discussed in your opinion? | 10:30 |
| seb128 | <seb128> I agree that we need to decide how the freezes applies | 10:30 |
| LaserJock | _MMA_: seb128 is on to discussing delays with Chipzz :-) | 10:30 |
| seb128 | _MMA_: I think that things uploaded before the freeze should be accepted and that will be discussed | 10:30 |
| seb128 | anything else? | 10:30 |

| EvanCarroll | I'm not sure how to file a bug report on the gutsy fonts that will help it seems like a few people have a good idea of the problem | 10:49 |
| EvanCarroll | has something to do with the DBI scaling mechanism of the new X | 10:49 |
| EvanCarroll | I just can't my fonts down to a reasonable size. | 10:49 |
| EvanCarroll | I'm using mergefb (as are most poeple wth dual monitors) so my resolution is 1024*2 x 768 | 10:50 |
| mjg59 | system/preferences/appearance/fonts/details | 10:50 |
| EvanCarroll | it totally rapes my fonts, even if i edit the libgnome default down to 7 | 10:50 |
| EvanCarroll | mjg59: they are at 6. | 10:50 |
| EvanCarroll | mjg59: can't go any lower. | 10:50 |
| mjg59 | EvanCarroll: No. That gives you the DPI setting. | 10:50 |
| EvanCarroll | 158 | 10:50 |
| EvanCarroll | thats it i bet | 10:50 |
| mjg59 | bryce: He's right, though. The default DPI is horrifically horked. | 10:50 |
| mjg59 | Even on single monitor setups. | 10:51 |
| EvanCarroll | thanks a ton, I saw suggestions for this feature and didn't see any note of it being implimented | 10:51 |
| mjg59 | My user name doesn't actually fit in the gdm box | 10:51 |
| EvanCarroll | I think you guys are shooting yourself in the foot if this "Feature" is in launch... Regression time if you ask me. | 10:51 |
| EvanCarroll | hahahahah | 10:51 |
| EvanCarroll | I've got a better one, my gvim holds 29characters. | 10:51 |
| EvanCarroll | maximized. | 10:51 |
| ion_ | Gnome shouldnt override the DPI value IMO. Instead, we should make X guess it better. For instance, the displayconfig-gtk monitor database could contain their physical sizes and add a DisplaySize setting to the config. | 10:52 |
| EvanCarroll | I had to go down to vritual-line 7 to edit the libgnome2 file | 10:52 |
| ion_ | That is, for monitors that report it incorrectly. | 10:52 |

| EvanCarroll | found it, font size settings are stored in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml | 11:01 |
| EvanCarroll | actually only 3 of the 5 that you can configure are stored there | 11:01 |
| EvanCarroll | grr!!! gnome and your inconsistancies | 11:01 |
| EvanCarroll | window font and fixed fonts not in there | 11:02 |
| EvanCarroll | I'll delete my whole gconf I suppose | 11:02 |
| tepsipakki | EvanCarroll: just use gconf-editor and set the default from there | 11:02 |
| EvanCarroll | tepsipakki: I don't know what the default is =[ | 11:02 |
| tepsipakki | right click on the setting, then choose the one that reverts to the default | 11:03 |
| tepsipakki | don't know what it's called in english/your locale :) | 11:03 |
| EvanCarroll | I just know I want the default font sizes on everything again, and I only want to change my DPI because having all of my fonts set to 6 and my dpi correctly set to the 95ish half of what it was detected at, makes all of my font-size 6 look like a font-size 6 now | 11:03 |
| EvanCarroll | ah | 11:03 |
| EvanCarroll | i didn't know gconf editor had that option | 11:04 |
| EvanCarroll | wonder where it stores therem /etc/skel maybe | 11:04 |
