Fujitsuosmosis: ubuntu-xen12:40
osmosisFujitsu: where ?12:40
Fujitsuosmosis: On Launchpad.12:40
osmosisFujitsu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Teams12:40
FujitsuXen is special and not entirely universe, so probably doesn't have a page.12:41
FujitsuAnd the wiki is woefully out of date in places.12:41
pochuhttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-xen12:41
Fujitsuslangasek: When did the release schedule change12:42
Fujitsu*?12:42
FujitsuWell, actually, I guess the final freeze isn't marked...12:42
slangasekyeah, that's the problem12:42
persiaFujitsu: It's hidden under "ReleaseCandidate"12:42
slangasekexcept the freezing mentioned under ReleaseCandidate is still different12:43
FujitsuReleaseCandidate says that after it only showstoppers. But nothing about ReleaseCandidateFreeze, hm...12:43
Fujitsu(and it should probably be clarified that it now applies to universe too)12:43
=== ivoks [n=ivoks@6-199.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-motu
persiaCertainly that.  Freezes applying to Universe are fairly new (Excepting UVF and New Packages).12:44
slangasekwell, in practice the BetaFreeze "applied" to Universe in that packages had to be hand-approved12:45
slangasekdoesn't mean there was much review of them along the way12:45
FujitsuThat has always been regarded as a Soyuz limitation.12:45
FujitsuIt was a given that packages would be waved through without checking.12:45
persiaslangasek: But it specifically says in BetaFreeze that the freeze is lifted after BetaRelease.12:46
DktrKranzslangasek, must MOTUs stop to upload packages and wait for an ack from RC team or they simply do as usual and RC will review them by hand?12:47
slangasekDktrKranz: the latter12:47
DktrKranzok, thanks12:47
DktrKranzanyway, I think there should be an accurate selection before uploading a package in ordert to avoid high loads for RC. Am I wrong?12:49
persiaNow I'm confused.  I thought that we were only to work on specific release-relevant bugs, rather than doing as usual.12:49
Fujitsupersia: As usual, as opposed to asking for prior RM approval.12:51
slangasekpersia: I'm requesting clarification from veteran members of the release team.  the notes I'm going from don't distinguish between universe and main and so I also didn't distinguish in my mail, but it's entirely plausible to me that it's not meant to apply to universe12:51
persiaFujitsu: Ah.  Right.12:51
FujitsuAha. Yay for lack of documentation!12:51
persiaslangasek: OK.  Thanks.  I'll prep stuff as if it would be applied then (pending resolution).12:52
=== Nightrose [n=lydia@amarok/rokymotion/nightrose] has joined #ubuntu-motu
slangasekpersia: ok, it's intended that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#head-c29dbda80b94dddd19d454dc8f454fcadc6b3302 applies, which means that even though the archive is "frozen", we'll give only a passing review to universe uploads.  Sorry for the confusion.12:53
persiaslangasek: That makes more sense.  Thanks.  No worries on the confusion: I've been away for around three months, so carry a fair amount of uncertainty returning.12:54

persiaslangasek: You're probably safe.  People who want to upload will likely check here if there are questions.12:56
slangasekok, cool12:56
DktrKranzthanks for clarifying that12:57
FujitsuMight be an idea to stick something in the topic of either here or #ubuntu-devel.12:57
persiaIt still needs manual (if light) review by the Release Team, so in a sense, it is frozen anyway.  Perhaps in /topic here, but in -devel?12:59

TheMusopochu: Thanks for doing minutes, not that there was much to cover. :)01:07

persiaTheMuso: Hi.  I wanted to ask about ubuntustudio-desktop as a dependency of ubuntustudio-*.01:11
TheMusopersia: Yes, we don't want that either, we were trying to get things straightened out for disks, but I've just uploaded a new meta to remove that.01:12
persiaTheMuso: Ah...  Cool.  I was just confused.01:12
minghuaShould new upstream version upload of a package already in archive use REVU?01:22
persiaminghua: If you need UVFe, it should be in an alternate repository (REVU is a good example of such a repository).01:22
minghuapersia: Not my package.  Just a question about the general policy.  I'll take that as a yes, thanks.01:23
persiaminghua: More generally then, before UVF, it just gets uploaded.  After UVF, it needs to be somewhere for review.01:24
minghuapersia: But non-MOTU can still upload to REVU for review, right?01:25
persiaminghua: Sure (although I'm not sure what the answer will be after UDS).01:25
minghuaBTW is there any REVU admin around?  My account seems to be removed after the move.01:26

persiaminghua: I don't appear to be a REVU admin anymore, but what are you trying to accomplish?01:27
minghuapersia: Just add a comment.01:27
minghuaNot urgent at all, obviously.01:28
persiaminghua:  Ah.  I think you'll need an admin then (unless something has changed).01:29
minghuapersia: Or if you are so kind, please comment on http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=339 and ask the uploader to run lintian (at least read the lintian output after uploading).01:29
persiaminghua: On the other hand, the work described in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2007-August/002104.html might have given you a different account.01:29
Fujitsuminghua: Anybody with an account on sparky (ie. ubuntu-dev) can actually promote users.01:30
persiaFujitsu: it's not a direct map to ubuntu-dev (or my account would work).01:30
minghuaFujitsu: Thanks.  Let me try the thing in persia's link first.01:31
minghuaThanks to persia too. :-)01:31
Fujitsupersia: The accounts on sparky should be pretty much everybody, though the syncing script apparently hasn't run in a while.01:31
persiaFujitsu: Around 6 months, but I understand that the administrator will be more active again soon :)01:32
minghuaYay, I'm in now.01:34
minghuapersia: Thanks, the procedure in the mail you pointed to worked.01:34

LaserJockslangasek: is anybody free to join Debian QA?02:17

Joe_CoTOk, let's try this again :) I fixed #149050, I've got the patch, and I'm not really sure how to proceed. It's correct, tested, and I have a package for it. Anyone want to look at the patch and put it in? Anyone want to sponsor mine? Not sure how to proceed.02:24

Joe_CoTwell, i went and worked with the devs to get the patch, since we're in feature freeze. Updating to 0.5.5 fixes the issue, but I didn't think that was happening at this point02:28
minghuaJoe_CoT: Can you provide a full debdiff as well?02:28
minghuaJoe_CoT: i.e., with debian/patches/00list and debian/changelog changes.02:29
persiaJoe_CoT: I also don't think it will be happening, as we've just entered the ReleaseCandidateFreeze, so the next step is to prepare a new candidate revision.  There's some instruction available from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing, although it may be slightly out of date.02:29
Joe_CoTminghua: I can, but I'm not sure how to do so. if you give me a hint I'll get on it and attach it02:30

=== osmosis [n=steven@cpe-76-90-81-133.socal.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu
persiaLooks to me like a change to the preferences model: combining two mutually opposed booleans into a single entry.  Am I missing something?02:34
Joe_CoTpersia: yes, that's it. The problem is that, in the current version, preferences sets both use_full and use_compact to 1, so compact is always used. In 5.4.1, only use_compact is actually used.02:35
minghuapersia: Why is the first hunk necessary?02:35
Joe_CoTso, setting compact sets use_compact =1, setting full sets use_compact=002:36
persiaminghua: The first hunk removes the logic to auto-set the alternate boolean when one is set, and replaces it with a radio control.  The second uses the radio control instead of the boolean to set a value.02:36
Joe_CoTminghua: added the debdiff02:38
fedefede0101hi guys, just a question.....build-stamp and config-stamp are lock files right?? so, they're supposed to be empty at the end of the building process...02:39

TheMusofedefede0101: THey are used to indicate that that part of the package build has completed successfully.02:39
persiaJoe_CoT: A few notes:  1) In the changelog, describe the issue resolved so that admins don't need to check lauchpad.  2)  The syntax (LP: #nnnnn) in the changelog will automatically close the bug for you.02:40
minghuapersia: BTW I am still not convinced, I don't see anything removed in the first hunk.  I see it as a functional-equivalent change.02:40
Joe_CoTpersia: ok, I'll make that change02:40
persiaminghua: I'll defer to you: my python-fu is really more python-bu02:40
fedefede0101ok, thanks TheMuso :) so, I was right...02:40
fedefede0101I'm trying to learn as much as I can...02:41
minghuapersia: Nah, I am a green newbie on python, too.02:41
Joe_CoTminghua: the change is that now, instead of the full radio being set to use_full, and the compact radio set to use_compact, the compact radio is set to use_compact, and the full radio is set to !use_compact. use_compact is the only one actually used, and that was the problem02:42

brycenight St...ScottK07:45
slangaseknight, ScottK07:45
brycesuperm1: ok here's the skinny07:45
brycesuperm1: i810 is deprecated.  Upstream in xorg they alias i810 to "intel" starting with version 2.007:46
tonyyarussoScottK: Should I file one bug affecting feisty, edgy, dapper, or separate ones for all, or just bother with feisty since the others have nvu?07:46
brycefor Ubuntu, rather than use the alias, we held back i810 to version 1.7.407:46
bryceas far as I know, there is no "newer" version than that, as development on that driver ceased when intel took over07:46
brycehowever because the driver is aliased on some platforms, there is a risk that when people say "new i810" they could mean "intel"07:47
superm1bryce, oh interesting.07:47
brycethe linked-to instructions however do seem appropriate to our i810 (references to 915resolution, date on posts, et al)07:48
bryceas a general rule though, starting with Gutsy you should not need to worry about the i810 driver... encourage users of it to switch to intel07:48
brycehrm, now why is it that when I specify "iface eth1 inet static" and give it a static address it keeps coming up with a dhcp-provided one... hrm07:50
bryceironically, this is my mythtv box doing it.  ;-)07:50
superm1bryce, well the thing that sparked this was that a user had to switch to i810 on a mac mini07:51
superm1using gutsy07:51
superm1and pointed me at that, so i was a bit confused with regard to taht07:52
bryceahh07:52
superm1they had said they couldn't get higher resolution otherwise07:52
brycethat sounds wonky07:52
superm1yeah that's what i thought.07:53
brycewell, as long as they know that i810 is not going to be supported and that they're more or less on their own with it...07:53
brycewhile the intel driver does have its bugs, at least people will be working on it07:53
superm1the guy posted this in our thread for showing what hardware works and doesnt on mythbuntu.  i'll have him form a more complete thread and bring this discussion to him.07:54
superm1thanks bryce :)07:54
brycesounds good, sure07:55
superm1bryce, oh and about openchrome.  i forgot to tell you before why i never filed the MIR.07:55
superm1there was finally a real release of it07:55
superm1and it uses a full out different driver name and all07:55
brycewow07:55
superm1i considered doing the whole UVFe thing for it, but this late into the cycle i know its going to break some of the ubiquity stuff we have coded for mythbuntu07:55

persiaYokoZar1: If you have both, you may as well install both, and just not pass the extension: that way the environment can select the best.09:57
YokoZar1oh, good point09:57
YokoZar1didn't realize it didn't need an extension09:57
persiaYokoZar1: Depends on the context.  If you're using a library pixbuf loading routine, it should auto-select.  If you're actually loading the file, you need the extension.09:58
YokoZar1persia: these are going into .desktop files09:58
YokoZar1persia: i have wine.png and wine.svg, I'm assuming I can just put Icon=wine into the .desktop file and copy both to /usr/share/pixmaps?09:59
persiaYokoZar1: That's what I thought.  No extension.  No path.  Just drop it somewhere in the iconcache directories (I usually use /usr/share/pixmaps)09:59
YokoZar1 /usr/share/pixmaps is what the freedesktop.org spec calls for09:59
persiaYokoZar1: Exactly.  That's best practice, because then someone could create wine.xpm as part of a theme, and override the default.09:59
=== buzztracker [n=buzztrac@pelikan.garga.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
persiaRegarding the interleave: I thought the spec only indicated that path as preferred, and that menu systems were supposed to also search there, but that implementors could generate the icon cache in any desired manner.10:01
YokoZar1http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html10:01
YokoZar1err wrong link10:02
YokoZar1Icons and themes are looked for in a set of directories. By     default, apps should look in $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility),     in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps (in that order).     Applications may further add     their own icon directories to this list, and users may extend or     change the list (in application/desktop specific ways)10:02
persiahttp://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html10:02
persiaRight.  /usr/share/pixmaps is required to be one of the source directories when building the icon cache, but there may be others (and are in Ubuntu).10:03
=== pochu [n=emilio@23.Red-83-57-166.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
YokoZar1persia: ahh.  So, another question regarding the menu10:04
YokoZar1Wine adds its own menu entry (Applications->Wine)10:04
persiaYokoZar1: It's my favorite type of question to answer :)10:04
YokoZar1I'd like to put some of the Wine bundled apps (eg notepad) into there10:04
YokoZar1But Wine doesn't generate that submenu until a user runs Wine once10:05
persiaYokoZar1: Is intended as a user menu, or a system-wide menu?10:05
YokoZar1So Wine has your user apps (say, stuff you install into ~/.wine) as a user menu, but I guess I'd like to create a Wine system-wide menu to shove some wine-specific things into (eg, regedit and winecfg)10:06
YokoZar1It's kinda weird having them elsewhere (say, in System->Preferences)10:06
persiaYokoZar1: Hmmm..  I'm not deeply familiar enough to understand how user menus and system menus are merged, but I suspect you'll want to play with installing something to /etx/xdg/menus10:07
persias/etx/etc10:08
YokoZar1Do you know where Wine would copy its user level one so I can use that as a template?10:09
=== amachu [n=amachu@59.92.89.68] has joined #ubuntu-motu
YokoZar1ahh, nevermind.  It appears Wine copies stuff into ~/.config/menus/applications-merged10:11
persiaYokoZar1: If it was a pure system menu, I think you'd put an entry in /etc/xdg/desktop-directories/, but for a merged menu, you might need to do something special (check http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html, and the source for gnome-menus for ideas.10:11
persiaYokoZar1: That's roughly comparable to /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged, but the tricky part is making sure any new local ($HOME) entries show up properly in a system menu (something I've not tested)10:12
=== MagnusR [n=magru@c83-252-222-139.bredband.comhem.se] has joined #ubuntu-motu
YokoZar1so I don't have a /etc/xdg/desktop-directories/ folder10:14
YokoZar1I'm guessing I should tell the package to make a folder /etc/xdg/applications-merged/ and then put a wine.menu there yes?10:15
=== hjmf [n=hjmf@198.Red-81-32-13.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu

YokoZar1persia: so it looks like <Directory> entries can refer to nonexistant .directory files10:26
YokoZar1in the case of, say, no localization10:26
persiaYokoZar1: That's my understanding.  I believe that non-existent files are not rendered, but you'll want to check one of the implementations to verify.10:28
YokoZar1persia: so it looks like my best bet is to make a category for Wine10:28
persiaYokoZar1: I don't recommend making such a change for gutsy - it's possibly intrusive UI-wise (and we're in FeatureFreeze and UIFreeze).  More generally, you'll probably want to get in touch with the -desktop team to discuss it: there are a few people with strong opinions about how the menus should be displayed.10:30
YokoZar1yeah10:30
YokoZar1The thing is10:30
YokoZar1Wine already displays its own subtree10:30
persiaYokoZar1: Technically speaking, a category is probably the easiest way to make it look nice.10:30
YokoZar1I could just manually refer to each wine.desktop file10:30
persiaYokoZar1: In that case, if you can get something working with /etc/xdg that looks the same, it should be cleaner, overall.10:31
YokoZar1like a wine.menu file to go in /etc/xdg/applications-merged/10:33
persiaYokoZar1: Right.10:33
YokoZar1if I have a higher menu include category wine, and a lower menu include category wine and category accessories, will it put it in both places or just the latter?10:35
persiaYokoZar1: If the menus are hierarchical, I believe just the latter.  If they are parallel branches in the tree, I believe both.10:36

YokoZar1persia: I meant a more basic question: how do I add something to places (ie, what category)10:56
persiaYokoZar1: That's controlled by the <Include> directives in the .menu file10:57

persiaI'm chasing an x86_MMX bug.  OpenAL seems to crash under certain circumstances on AMD64, when linked against the provided i386 MMX arch-specific libraries.  There are some configure checks to make sure only a subset of the i386 MMX libraries are included.  Is this ever safe, or should I be seeking a comparison of the i386 and x86_64 MMX instruction sets?01:35

ScottKFrom my perspective it's and Ubuntu specific tool with a non-trivial learning curve that I don't have time for.  I know others use it, but Ubuntu is the only place I've run into it.05:01
broonieTo be fair, one of the reasons I bother with bzr at all is that the learning curve for basic usage is pretty trivial.05:04

lamontI don't see any reason to have the git repo in the tar.gz, given that I can use debian-control to point any dpkg-source -x users at the git repo on the net06:21
ScottKPersonally, I see the advantages of a VCS, but I'm concerned that it dilutes the notion that the actual repository is the canonical (pun intended) source for the distro.06:21
ScottKFor Debian pakcages with one/few maintainers or a team that's agreed to use a VCS, it's fine.  I just don't think it scales to Ubuntu with team maintenance of literally thousands of packages.06:22
bddebianAmen brother :)06:22
lamontgenerally speaking, source is kept in a VCS somewhere, and the developer takes code from there and ships it.  So there is a canonical repository for the packager, which then becomes a collection of sources which form the canonical origin of a distro06:23
minghuaScottK: Joey's argument is that learning multiple VCS systems is not that different from learning multiple patch systems.06:23
lamontutil I moved my packages to git, the VCS was local to my machine and not visible on the net.  -> suckage for others06:24
lamontminghua: and joeyh is right06:24
ScottKI agree and that's a PITA too.06:24
minghualamont: Yes, I think that's valid argument.06:25
lamontI will admit that when I'm on a NMU-athon, that dbs packages tend to get pushed to the bottom of the queue unless the bug really, uh, bugs me.06:25
ScottKI still have to study man dpatch pretty hard every time I add dpatch to a package.06:25
lamontdpatch I've pretty well internalized.06:25
lamontI even used it in several of my packages, until I switched everything to git and killed dpatch as painful and no longer worth it, given a real VCS.06:26
lamontwith cvs, dpatch is a savior.06:26
ScottKlamont: I've been doing Debian packaging less than a year now, so all this stuff is only shallowly etched in my brain so far.06:26
lamontthen again, with cvs, a gun to the head is pretty close to salvation as well. :-)06:26
pkernI got so many comments about `why did you switch this particular package to quilt'. Heh.06:26
lamont"creating a new patch?  dpatch-edit-patch name $name-of-last-patch"06:27
lamont"editing an existing patch?  dpatch-edit-patch $name-of-patch"06:27
ScottKlamont: Which is a lifesaver.  I'd be doomed otherwise.06:27
lamontand then just dink around with 00list as needed06:27
lamontquilt?  yeah I hear that's "better" than dpatch.  I interpret it as "more complicated"06:27
lamonts/it/that/06:27
ScottKIt's the adding dpatch to debian/rules for the first time that get's me confused.06:28
bddebianThe games team seem to be moving everything to quilt :-(06:28

lamontScottK: that's where I'd commit to git (or bzr), and do the patch inline.06:28
lamontbddebian: quilt is better.06:28
pkernYou need a bloody bit of setup (i.e. setting an environment variable to point it to a Debian'ish location for the patches), but wandering through the patch stack is beautiful.06:28
lamontOTOH, dpatch, quilt, and the rest are just attempting to preserve the branch so that it can be rebased to a new upstream... that's what git or bzr are _FOR_06:29
lamontpkern: so is "gitk --all"06:30
ScottKAlso though, with patches I can see what Debian's done to a package versus what upstream's done pretty easily.  Once it's all inline, it's harder to sort (I can't just apt-get source and look in debian/patches anymore).06:30
lamontScottK: right. you have to go to the VGS06:30
lamontVCS even06:30
lamontwhich, if it's private, justifies dpatch/quilt.06:31
lamontif it's public, well.  tough.  go fetch.06:31
ScottKGo to the VCS = harder unless you are the maintainer who's got it handy.06:31

=== Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-motu
lamontpkern: string freeze is so we can translate the strings... I think that one needs to be translated to english. :-P06:38
broonieThe dpatch UI for working on patches always strikes me as fairly painful due to the copying.06:38
lamontbroonie: it used to not copy.  that was worse when it had patch failures.06:39
broonieReally, why?06:39
pkernquilt solves that one ;)06:39
brooniequilt deals with that pretty naturally, I find.06:39
lamontbecause then you have a broken tree, in some semi-random state in dpatch, not unpatchable (because of the rejects), etc.06:39
minghualamont: Actually, adding an English translation is probably a better fix for now. :-)06:39
ScottKlamont: Poorly worded info note is still way better than the stop and ask are you sure you actually want the actual source package that you already said you wanted behavior that preceeded what we have now.06:40
lamontheh06:40
lamontanyway, in trouble now and leaving the house... my bad.06:40
