| (slangasek/#ubuntu-motu) hmm, scratch that, it is installed | 05:10 | |
| persia | Do the language catalogs translate "Password:" as "Password:" for PAM, perhaps? | 05:12 |
|---|---|---|
| slangasek | no | 05:12 |
| slangasek | $ su | 05:13 |
| slangasek | Contrasea: | 05:13 |
| slangasek | gksudo still works, so maybe it's setting the locale somewhere first, dunno | 05:13 |
| imbrandon | hrm you would think there would be an api or message passing specificly for something like this, scrapping dosent seem "proper" | 05:16 |
| slangasek | there is an API. | 05:16 |
| pwnguin | psh | 05:16 |
| pwnguin | its called pam | 05:16 |
| === Konam [n=Konam@61stb68.codetel.net.do] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Konam | hi | 05:16 |
| pwnguin | but nobody wanted to work with that when just frontending sudo might work | 05:16 |
| Konam | the deluge gutsy package is bad, it works but not properly, take a look at it | 05:17 |
| imbrandon | seems like a expect script hehe | 05:17 |
| === Knightlust [n=dax@ubuntu/member/knightlust] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| RAOF | Konam: Anything specific? | 05:17 |
| ScottK | Konam: If you want someone to actually care, you are going to have to provide specifics. | 05:17 |
| RAOF | Konam: Bonus marks for LP bugs. | 05:17 |
| Hobbsee | mega-bonus-points for actually doing the work. | 05:18 |
| bddebian | +1 | 05:18 |
| RAOF | - | 05:19 |
| === RAOF should move the enter key somewhere less accidentally hittable. | ||
| StevenK | RAOF: Like off the keyboard entirely? :-P | 05:20 |
| pwnguin | StevenK: can't do that, that's where capslock is slatd to go! | 05:20 |
| === RAOF finds the "enter is an additional control key" option | ||
| === persia points at gizmod as an amusing way to swap capslock & enter with the mouse scroll wheel, saving heaps of accidental clicks. | ||
| RAOF | Konam: Of course, the very best way to ensure that no-one does anything about a problem is to pop up, make vague statements about brokenness, then disappear. | 05:23 |
| === avoine [n=avoine@modemcable003.251-59-74.mc.videotron.ca] has left #ubuntu-motu [] | ||
| Konam | RAOF i'm in the deluge channel to see if it is bug or something | 05:26 |
| Konam | but thanks for your interest | 05:26 |
| macd | Am I correct in thinking my pbuild env. needs all dependencies satisfied prior to building, or will pbuild try and satisfy those from repos? | 05:27 |
| === greeneggsnospam [n=JSG@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| imbrandon | it will try to satisfy those | 05:30 |
| imbrandon | as it bulds | 05:30 |
| === nuu [n=neuro@2001:5c0:8fff:fffe:0:0:0:1893] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Hobbsee | more spam! | 05:30 |
| === Hobbsee pokes greeneggsnospam | ||
| pwnguin | spam? | 05:30 |
| macd | if it cant, to clarify, do I just install them to my system, or is there some way I need to isntall them into the pbuild chroot env? | 05:30 |
| pwnguin | no | 05:31 |
| pwnguin | the whole point is to make sure it builds anywhere | 05:31 |
| pwnguin | so if you've gone and created the base, with universe enabled | 05:32 |
| pwnguin | you'll need to figure out where the bug is =/ | 05:32 |
| RAOF | Konam: That's OK, thanks. | 05:32 |
| ScottK | macd: You'll want to remove the depens on libmocha before you try to build it. It's not in Ubuntu and not really needed. | 05:33 |
| === ScottK was paying attention earlier in the day. | ||
| macd | ScottK, yeah the 1.2.4 orig.dsc doesnt have libmocha as a dep | 05:33 |
| macd | soren, Im a bit confused as to why the debian package has it | 05:33 |
| macd | eww so* | 05:33 |
| greeneggsnospam | heh | 05:34 |
| === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ScottK | macd: It's needed for some test stuff, but doesn't actually hurt anything if not present. | 05:35 |
| ajmitch | macd: it does have it, in debian/control | 05:36 |
| ajmitch | as ScottK says, testing only | 05:36 |
| === ScottK knows nothing about it however. My sole contributions were to work on a project with a guy who uses rails and to sucker him in here to help figure it out. | ||
| bddebian | heh | 05:39 |
| === ScottK is not kidding. | ||
| ajmitch | then you've had more experience with it than I have | 05:40 |
| ScottK | It wasn't actually hard as he's using Feisty for development and will upgrade to Gutsy shortly, so it was in his self interest for us not to mess it up. | 05:41 |
| macd | if a package is in universe and meets the version requirements and pbuilder cant find it, uhh what then? | 05:41 |
| ScottK | macd: Can it find any Universe packages? | 05:42 |
| macd | I'm not exactly sure how to check that, It found debhelper and dpatch but those are in main | 05:44 |
| ScottK | macd: What instructions did you use to set up your pbuilder? | 05:44 |
| macd | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto and Im on feisty. | 05:44 |
| ScottK | IIRC that doesn't include enabling Universe. | 05:45 |
| macd | that explains alot then ;) | 05:46 |
| === No1Viking [n=No1Vikin@83.140.104.41.dyn.rp80.se] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ScottK | imbrandon or ajmitch: I really need to concentrate on not messing up the code I'm writing as I'm about to do a release. Would one of you please help macd enable universe on his pbuilder... | 05:46 |
| ScottK | Anyone else for that matter... | 05:46 |
| tonyyarusso | Could someone with experience understanding crash reports take a look at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kompozer/+bug/148576 please? | 05:46 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 148576 in kompozer "kompozer-bin crashed with SIGSEGV" [Medium,New] | 05:46 |
| macd | ty | 05:46 |
| ajmitch | macd: the part about enabling universe is actually on that wiki page | 05:47 |
| macd | the .pbuildrc I just saw that | 05:47 |
| imbrandon | sure one sec lemme grab a drink, the short of it , do `sudo pbuilder login --save-after-login` | 05:47 |
| imbrandon | err yea what ajmitch said | 05:47 |
| === ajmitch never has a normal pbuilder setup | ||
| ScottK | tonyyarusso: I'd add to that request and knows something about why stuff dies on 64bit archs. | 05:48 |
| tonyyarusso | ScottK: good point | 05:48 |
| === Jaearess [n=Jaearess@208-78-99-101.slicehost.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| tonyyarusso | RAOF: If you're around, would you be willing to try reproducing that bug? | 05:52 |
| RAOF | tonyyarusso: Ok, but it'd need to wait for the evening. | 05:53 |
| tonyyarusso | RAOF: That's still infinitly sooner than I'll have a clue what to do about it. | 05:53 |
| imbrandon | bbiab | 05:53 |
| RAOF | I'm looking at the backtrace, and it's... urgh. | 05:53 |
| Jaearess | Hello all. I'd like to get involved in packaging for Hardy, but I'm not sure when people can start working on packaging for a new release. Is it when the tool chain is released (Oct. 25 according to the Hardy schedule) or is it some time later? | 05:59 |
| persia | tonyyarusso: Do you have the hardware & can you reproduce? | 05:59 |
| ajmitch | Jaearess: as soon as you feel like it, especially for new packages | 06:00 |
| === buzztracker [n=buzztrac@pelikan.garga.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ajmitch | nothing can be uploaded to the archive until the toolchain is inplace & settled | 06:00 |
| tonyyarusso | persia: I only have 32-bit running feisty, so probably not the best environment to test. | 06:01 |
| ajmitch | but that doesn't stop people from preparing things to be uploaded | 06:01 |
| Jaearess | ajmitch: Ah, I see. Thank you :) | 06:01 |
| pwnguin | Jaearess: what did you have in mind that you would be doing? | 06:01 |
| === Hobbsee tickes ajmitch | ||
| persia | tonyyarusso: Ah. OK. Briefly it looks like there's an issue discovering the current context for the spellchecker, but without a test environment it's hard to be sure. | 06:01 |
| tonyyarusso | persia: as in figuring out whether aspell is present and if so where? | 06:03 |
| pwnguin | Jaearess: if you haven't any experience with packaging, there's an intro to packaging that walks you through a hello world. that's probably the best place to start. you can probably have that down by the time hardy's open | 06:03 |
| Jaearess | pwnguin: I'm not really sure at the moment. I was thinking of packaging somethings that people had reported on Launchpad as needing packaging and just whatever else I could do to help. I just know I want to give something back to Ubuntu :) | 06:03 |
| persia | tonyyarusso: Take a look at the StatketraceSource.txt. I think the problem is either related to the call in #3 or the call in #7. | 06:03 |
| === anon [n=anon@61-230-83-227.dynamic.hinet.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| persia | tonyyarusso: Specifically, I think that mozRealTimeSpell, when enabled, is unable to do it's thing because it's not been told where to paint. | 06:04 |
| persia | s/it's/its/ | 06:04 |
| ScottK | tonyyarusso: Just based on the topic, I wonder if Kompozer is doing something like Gramps was: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gramps/+bug/120569 | 06:04 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 120569 in gramps "[gutsy] gtkspell segfaults when trying to set the language on gtk.TextView" [Medium,Fix released] | 06:04 |
| Jaearess | pwnguin: Yeah, I've been looking through some of the stuff on the wiki; I just need to actually go through and work on getting packaging figured out. | 06:04 |
| pwnguin | Jaearess: in that case, how about taking notes while you walk through packaging-guide? | 06:04 |
| ScottK | Or reading what persia just said, nevermind I think. | 06:05 |
| pwnguin | !info packaging-guide | 06:05 |
| ubotu | packaging-guide: The Ubuntu Packaging Guide. In component main, is optional. Version 7.04.4 (feisty), package size 100 kB, installed size 612 kB | 06:05 |
| persia | ScottK: No, that's the annoying API change in GTK memory management :) | 06:05 |
| pwnguin | I know it's out of date, and it would greatly help if someone pointed out the changed needed | 06:05 |
| ScottK | persia: OK. | 06:05 |
| Jaearess | pwnguin: Okay, I think I'll give that a try. | 06:05 |
| LaserJock | pwnguin: what's out of date? | 06:05 |
| ScottK | persia: Anything that starts with G, I hardly know about. | 06:06 |
| pwnguin | last i looked, i think hello world isn't up to date | 06:06 |
| pwnguin | and i know upstream has a new version | 06:06 |
| pwnguin | of hello-world | 06:06 |
| persia | ScottK: heh. Most of them are similar to thinks beginning with K or Q, except targeting a different API. | 06:06 |
| LaserJock | pwnguin: it shouldn't be that bad | 06:06 |
| pwnguin | LaserJock: well, the less barriers the better :) | 06:06 |
| ScottK | Right. I like server stuff. Little/no annoying user interface stuff to deal with. | 06:07 |
| LaserJock | ScottK: amen to that | 06:07 |
| LaserJock | pwnguin: so you're volunteering to fix it then? :-) | 06:07 |
| pwnguin | 'sides, if we get new people to file bugs against the packaging documentation and submit diffs, the better! | 06:07 |
| persia | Personally, I like GUI and Audio bugs: they tend to be easier to fix, as the code hasn't been reviewed by as many people. Mind you, deep GTK or QT bugs are frustrating. | 06:08 |
| pwnguin | LaserJock: hey, no fair defending your work and then asking someone else to fix it :P | 06:09 |
| === persia thought that was one of the benefits of open source | ||
| ajmitch | pwnguin: that's how free software works :) | 06:10 |
| LaserJock | pwnguin: it's not my work, it's the communities work ;-) | 06:10 |
| LaserJock | is anybody here in the Desktop Team? | 06:10 |
| LaserJock | I need to find a project to work on that actual has bugs | 06:11 |
| Hobbsee | kde exists. | 06:12 |
| LaserJock | the one I'm working on now doesn't have much for bugs so it's not as interesting from a "let's learn how to use the tools" perspective | 06:12 |
| === pwnguin nominates gksudo | ||
| macd | yay, it built, installed and my rails app didnt break with it. | 06:12 |
| pwnguin | fixing bugs isnt exactly "learning to use the tools" | 06:12 |
| bddebian | LaserJock: "project" meaning what? | 06:12 |
| pwnguin | at some point it becomes "applying judgement and wisdom" | 06:12 |
| LaserJock | Hobbsee: does Kubuntu have a "Desktop Team"? | 06:12 |
| persia | LaserJock: Aren't there still a fair number of outstanding MOTU Science bugs? | 06:13 |
| StevenK | LaserJock: "Riddell" | 06:13 |
| Hobbsee | LaserJock: kubuntu-members | 06:13 |
| Hobbsee | so, somewhat | 06:13 |
| imbrandon | LaserJock: kubuntu-members | 06:13 |
| pwnguin | does kubuntu need a NOT desktop team? | 06:13 |
| pwnguin | kubuntu-kernel ;) | 06:14 |
| imbrandon | heh | 06:14 |
| persia | pwnguin: Kubuntu differs from Ubuntu primarily due to the desktop, so in a sense, the Kubuntu team is a desktop team. | 06:14 |
| pwnguin | persia: that is the essence of my point, i think | 06:14 |
| persia | pwnguin: Right. Sorry. My slow typing combined with your separated statement. Apologies. | 06:14 |
| LaserJock | hmm, it's just always bugged me that the Ubuntu Desktop Team is really the Ubuntu Gnome Desktop Team | 06:15 |
| LaserJock | persia: I'm looking for upstream projects | 06:16 |
| Hobbsee | LaserJock: the names get more screwy, and now that actually refers to a subset of canonical developers | 06:16 |
| Hobbsee | or something. | 06:16 |
| Hobbsee | i have a list of all the teams now, somewhere | 06:16 |
| pwnguin | LaserJock: get me phred and phrap from upstream into ubuntu :P | 06:16 |
| === jsgotangco [n=JSG@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| bddebian | Hmm, we don't have autopackage stuff ? | 06:18 |
| Hobbsee | huh? | 06:18 |
| persia | autopackage? | 06:18 |
| pwnguin | why would ubuntu have it? | 06:18 |
| bddebian | Sorry, trying to build a new game and he is using it :-( | 06:19 |
| bddebian | apg++ | 06:19 |
| LaserJock | we have 0install, why not autopackage? :-) | 06:20 |
| Hobbsee | LaserJock: limiting crack. | 06:20 |
| LaserJock | too late ;-) | 06:20 |
| StevenK | That reminds me. I need to make checkinstall SEGV | 06:20 |
| persia | autopackage appears to automatically download random libraries from the internet. That can't be ideal. | 06:20 |
| bddebian | Aye though apparently this apg++ think somehow makes linking easier | 06:21 |
| StevenK | Easier than what? | 06:22 |
| bddebian | Dunno I didn't even know WTF it was until I just googled it :-) | 06:22 |
| persia | bddebian: It does make it easier, for a developer, or someone with a dedicated need. It reminds me of why I prefer to avoid python packages (EZinstall) | 06:22 |
| persia | StevenK: Easier than having the user hunt down the right libraries and install them, or waiting for the distro maintainers to package the software in the first place. | 06:23 |
| ScottK | persia: Just patch the ezinstall stuff out. | 06:23 |
| StevenK | persia: Ah yes, along with the fun "autopackage appears to automatically download random libraries from the internet." | 06:23 |
| persia | ScottK: Right. For C, I don't have to worry about that: if upstream is whiny about package dependencies, they provide the source of the libraries, so I can check if there are useful patches to extract. | 06:24 |
| persia | StevenK: Indeed. Context is suprisingly useful :) | 06:24 |
| ScottK | Right. Well right thinking Python developers don't use ez_install. | 06:24 |
| === radamantis [n=radamant@201.137.25.241] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| === persia thinks right-thinking developers also shouldn't use autopackage | ||
| ScottK | Sounds reasonable to me. | 06:25 |
| pwnguin | autopackage kinda sounds like a distro without a home | 06:25 |
| === ScottK is off to bed. Good night all. | ||
| StevenK | Or one that just piggybacks | 06:26 |
| bddebian | Gnight ScottK | 06:26 |
| persia | pwnguin: Sortof. It's based on the concept of there being one true linux, with various distributions just means to get a base install, on top of which one uses autopackage. | 06:26 |
| pwnguin | the whole thing reeks of "i hate finding rpms for fedora when I use mandrake!" | 06:27 |
| persia | pwnguin: Exactly, except replace with linspire & MEPIS | 06:27 |
| LaserJock | well, I'm seeing some interest in autopackage for science apps on the forums | 06:27 |
| pwnguin | from who? | 06:27 |
| LaserJock | users | 06:27 |
| pwnguin | users or developers? | 06:27 |
| LaserJock | for stuff that's not in Ubuntu | 06:28 |
| persia | 0install seems safer than autopackage: it doesn't install as root. | 06:28 |
| LaserJock | I'm not sure what a good response is | 06:28 |
| pwnguin | my favorite line from the FAQ | 06:28 |
| pwnguin | # What about security? | 06:28 |
| pwnguin | What about it? | 06:28 |
| LaserJock | at some point it's unrealistic to assume we can provide *all* software | 06:28 |
| pwnguin | well, i'd say debian's pretty good at it | 06:28 |
| === zakame [i=zakame@ubuntu/member/zakame] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| persia | pwnguin: We've more than Debian (at least at the beginning of dev cycles), but that's still not everything. | 06:29 |
| === coolbhavi [n=bhavi@59.92.206.119] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| persia | Perhaps we should determine a "Ubuntu best practice" method for 3rd party preparations, and recommend it? Checkinstall is out, but having something that lets upstreams make instant (if bad) .debs for distribution might help, and may even be better for users, as the software could then be uninstalled cleanly (unlike building from source). | 06:31 |
| pwnguin | isn't it called dpkg? | 06:31 |
| LaserJock | persia: I think I agree | 06:31 |
| persia | pwnguin: That takes a fair bit or work to learn, and is a high bar for people who primarily develop for Mac & Fedora (for example) | 06:32 |
| LaserJock | perhaps a dh_make2 | 06:32 |
| ScottK | One more thing... doko: Please consider adding libsigc++-2.0 to your ia32-libs upload so Skype will work on AMD64. | 06:32 |
| imbrandon | well basicly that means make pbuilder ( and debootstrap ) distro independant, easy to install and give it a front end | 06:32 |
| pwnguin | persia: easy and "best practices" might not go together | 06:32 |
| coolbhavi | hello...... Can you please resync my keyrings to the revu uploader keyring so that I can upload packages..Please.. Everything is done according to revu wiki page | 06:33 |
| LaserJock | well, if we had something that was at least PPA-ready | 06:33 |
| macd | when I use dget to grab source, where does pbuilder store that? | 06:33 |
| persia | imbrandon: That does the backend, but there's still the preparation of debian/rules, debian/copyright, and debian/control. copyright is easy to do sufficiently (if poorly) from a form. control is similar, although perhaps it needs something to check dependencies somehow. rules is not always obvious. | 06:33 |
| macd | I poked around in /var/cache/pbuilder but didnt see it | 06:33 |
| LaserJock | macd: dget doesn't build the source package automatically | 06:34 |
| persia | macd: pbuilder doesn't store it anywhere. dget puts it in . | 06:34 |
| Hobbsee | coolbhavi: it'll take around an hour | 06:34 |
| imbrandon | persia: true the gui could mix dh_make and pbuilder, kinda like installshield builder does | 06:34 |
| Hobbsee | checkinstall makes you specify your own vesrion # though, so may actually be safer | 06:35 |
| Hobbsee | as in, easier ot reject teh bugs. | 06:35 |
| persia | imbrandon: That sounds reasonable. I'm still not sure about rules: there are so many exception cases. | 06:35 |
| macd | persia, so If I need to make a change to debian/control I'll need to untar it, change it and retar it up? Im just a bit confused on a few things | 06:35 |
| imbrandon | persia: yea nothing is gonna subsitute good old packing , but to make a "something for upstream to get by with" thing | 06:36 |
| pwnguin | macd: just grab the source, unpack it, and debuild it back up | 06:36 |
| coolbhavi | My launchpad id is https://launchpad.net/~bhavi.. please....... | 06:36 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Yes, although checkinstall has other failings. Perhaps just fixing checkinstall to be acceptable is a solution. | 06:36 |
| === Hobbsee liked it when it segfaulting. | ||
| persia | macd: Use `dpkg-source -x fo.dsc` to unpack, and `debuild -S` to pack. | 06:36 |
| imbrandon | if checkinstall has some dependancy checking would be nice | 06:37 |
| persia | imbrandon: Exactly. Even better, something that was pluggable, so that with sufficient chroots it could produce .deb, .rpm, .tgz, etc. | 06:37 |
| imbrandon | definately | 06:38 |
| imbrandon | sonds like a good project | 06:38 |
| persia | (for extra points, produce .dsc/diff.gz, .srpm, etc.) | 06:38 |
| pwnguin | this would of course require defining equivilent packages across dkg and rp | 06:38 |
| pwnguin | m | 06:38 |
| persia | pwnguin: No: it just means having a pluggable dependency analysis checker: check what gets dlopen'd, check the parent package, and assign a dependency. | 06:39 |
| imbrandon | hrm lots of reflection | 06:39 |
| imbrandon | yup | 06:39 |
| imbrandon | all done in the chroot | 06:39 |
| persia | The problem I see is getting the initial set of build-deps to contruct. Iterative, or source-inspection? | 06:39 |
| pwnguin | thats what i meant | 06:40 |
| imbrandon | well if it builds and runs on the host ...... hrm | 06:40 |
| pwnguin | how do you define build-deps across debian / redhat? | 06:40 |
| persia | imbrandon: That does it: build it locally, determine deps from the local build, and then pass to chroots. Clean, and only requires +1 builds. | 06:41 |
| persia | pwnguin: Watch the local build, and determine which files are used. In the chroots, determine which package provides that file. Add those packages as build-dependecies. | 06:41 |
| imbrandon | yea, would require lots of work but i think its a great idea | 06:42 |
| === Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| imbrandon | and would be WELL worth the effort, even if a package needed some manual tweaking to go into a repo its still does the major stuff in a point-n-clicky way accross distros, hell gentoo has debootstrap and iirc so does suse 10.x | 06:43 |
| imbrandon | i'm sure there are ways to get base suse / fedora / mandrake chroots | 06:44 |
| LaserJock | well, just getting a .deb solution would be great, IMO | 06:44 |
| pwnguin | what exactly does this solve? | 06:44 |
| persia | That would go a great way towards reducing checkinstall / 0install / autopackage / ezinstall / etc., as developers could easily produce distro-tailored binary packages, and source packages in all desired formats to ease distro adoption. | 06:44 |
| imbrandon | i dont think it would apply to meta distros like freebsd ports or gentoo though | 06:44 |
| persia | LaserJock: The problem with a .deb only solution is that it's not much better than checkinstall, but building the .deb / .dsc target seems a good first goal: with other distros perhaps adding their components if desired. | 06:45 |
| pwnguin | if i'm a developer for say suse, and i want an easy way to deb | 06:45 |
| LaserJock | no, I didn't mean .deb only | 06:45 |
| pwnguin | how does the chroot work? | 06:46 |
| LaserJock | I meant not worrying about .rpms, etc. | 06:46 |
| imbrandon | pwnguin: you know how bsd jails work ? | 06:46 |
| persia | pwnguin: Unpack the tarball, chroot into the minimal ubuntu, pbuild. | 06:46 |
| pwnguin | ah. | 06:46 |
| persia | LaserJock: I think it's worth worrying about sufficient abstraction to easily allow RPMs later, but I'd agree for a first pass. | 06:46 |
| pwnguin | so we're talking everyone carries an debian / ubuntu minimal build env | 06:47 |
| persia | pwnguin: The tool would presumably have minimal tarballs for all desired target environments. | 06:47 |
| imbrandon | no only upstream packagers that wish to use this tool | 06:47 |
| bddebian | I thought everything was going to be in some VCS so we are all saved anyway? :-) | 06:47 |
| persia | bddebian: How does that help for things we haven't packaged? | 06:47 |
| pwnguin | but how does the unpacker know which extra packages i need to install? | 06:47 |
| bddebian | Dunno but it's some kind of cure-all I hear ;-P | 06:48 |
| imbrandon | pwnguin: from the local build that the upstream developer surely already has going | 06:48 |
| persia | pwnguin: It doesn't. The sbuild or pbuilder process downloads the build-deps as required for the minimal chroot build. | 06:48 |
| pwnguin | so step one build locally and watch to see which files / headers are accessed | 06:49 |
| imbrandon | pwnguin: think of this as more of a MOTU-in-a-box for upstreams to use *instead* of them only providing a tar.gz for users to resort to checkinstall | 06:49 |
| pwnguin | step two build a .dsc etc and pbuild a deb | 06:49 |
| persia | pwnguin: I'd say 1) local build, 2) analysis of local build, 3) build .dsc, 4) build n .debs, but otherwise yes. | 06:49 |
| pwnguin | i guess the other problem is | 06:50 |
| pwnguin | build deps missing / version problems? | 06:50 |
| RAOF | pwnguin: You mean "missing in $DISTRO", yes? | 06:51 |
| imbrandon | somethings will always have to be checked and most auto* stuff will check the versioning when building | 06:51 |
| imbrandon | if $dist is missing it | 06:51 |
| persia | pwnguin: For missing build-deps (the dependency also isn't packaged), the build would fail (with a log). For version conflicts, the build fails, and upstream version X isn't supported for distro Y. | 06:51 |
| persia | If upstream wants to be fancy with super-portability (e.g. parallel code paths for QT3 vs. QT4), then there is wider support. | 06:52 |
| imbrandon | rember too this doesnt have to be a 100000% end all, we're looking for something inbetween checkingstall and MOTUship | 06:53 |
| imbrandon | ( with a GUI ) | 06:53 |
| imbrandon | heh | 06:53 |
| pwnguin | why the gui? | 06:53 |
| persia | imbrandon: Even between checkinstall and MOTU Contribution | 06:53 |
| imbrandon | people love point-and-clicky | 06:54 |
| pwnguin | they still need to grab the build deps locally anyways | 06:54 |
| persia | pwnguin: Easier to present multi-entry dialogs (e.g. template for debian/copyright). | 06:54 |
| persia | pwnguin: If they are a developer, they probably already have the build-deps locally installed, no? | 06:54 |
| pwnguin | there's also the question of automatic builds and GUIs | 06:55 |
| pwnguin | persia: if they're the developer, then they outta be comfortable with the command line, i'd say. but if you think it'll be easier, hats off | 06:55 |
| imbrandon | it would only need to be done for the initial packageing pwnguin , subsuquint builds could be done the "normal" automated way | 06:56 |
| persia | pwnguin: Not easier. Flashier. More candy. Easier to blog with screenshots. These build mindshare, which is useful. No reason it can't have a CLI backend. | 06:56 |
| pwnguin | you just said it'd be easier to present multi-entry dialog | 06:56 |
| imbrandon | automatix for MOTU's /me ducks | 06:56 |
| LaserJock | well, I think helping upstreams get to us is a good thing | 06:57 |
| LaserJock | and helping users help upstream get to us is a good thing | 06:57 |
| persia | imbrandon: I'd disagree. It's doesn't try to do all the stuff you'd do if you had the secret info, but rather it provides a scripted bridge for the uninterested. Wait, nevermind. You're right. | 06:58 |

| imbrandon | persia: you down for making any of this happen, i'm totaly psyced about it and actualy thinking about getting some design goals etc going | 06:59 |
| persia | LaserJock: Do you think it would be easier to market a new tool, or overhaul/replace checkinstall? Also, should we point at getdeb as a central location to advertise new unofficial packages? | 06:59 |
| imbrandon | persia: +1 on the getdeb | 07:00 |
| === Hobbsee would be reasonably happy to say "let getdeb deal with all of that" | ||
| Hobbsee | but then, who knows of the quality of the getdeb stuff | 07:00 |
| Hobbsee | im' assuming we're still rejecting all their bugs | 07:00 |
| persia | Hobbsee: getdeb still (softly) recommends checkinstall. It'd be nice to have something a little cleaner. | 07:00 |
| === buzztracker [n=buzztrac@pelikan.garga.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| LaserJock | persia: problem with checkinstall would be that we don't have any control over it | 07:00 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Ubuntu rejects the bugs, but LP upstreams may accept them, depending... | 07:00 |
| === pwnguin quietly adds google toolbar installers to his ppa and submits to getdeb | ||
| Hobbsee | persia: yeah, well. but we dont care about them either :) | 07:01 |
| imbrandon | lol | 07:01 |
| persia | Hobbsee: As long as you have narrow enough vision when rejecting, I shan't complain :) | 07:01 |
| imbrandon | heh Hobbsee you are so pesimistic sometimes , i care about ( some ) upstreams , watch the word "we" :) | 07:01 |
| imbrandon | hehe | 07:01 |
| Hobbsee | imbrandon: i was thinking in terms of bugs, and stuff that we personally would be fixing. | 07:02 |
| imbrandon | tru tru , just spoutin | 07:02 |
| Hobbsee | but i agree - as a wider issue, it's worth thinking about :) | 07:02 |
| imbrandon | ok anyhow anything s better than checkinstall as is | 07:03 |
| persia | LaserJock: Makes sense. I'm not so concerned about control, as long as the results are useful. Checkinstall already seems to generate .deb, .rpm, and .tgz. Perhaps we can send patches to make the .debs better. | 07:03 |
| LaserJock | persia: well, I'm just saying, can we just go "heh, we're gonna take over checkinstall, do you mind?" | 07:03 |
| imbrandon | persia: yea i was thinking the same thing, or a fork just adding a step inbetween building and packing | 07:04 |
| imbrandon | in checkinstall | 07:04 |
| imbrandon | that does the dep resolution | 07:04 |
| persia | I'd like to avoid a fork, but I think we'd get on better with checkinstall upstream if we prepared some patches for them, rather than just repeating "checkinstall makes crack". | 07:04 |
| imbrandon | we would still need to make use of "clean rooms" though ( chroots ) | 07:05 |
| persia | imbrandon: Something simple like adding something for dependency generation would be awfully nice. | 07:05 |
| === persia prefers incremental adjustment to replace everything rather than rewrites | ||
| === macd pulls hair out | ||
| imbrandon | heh depends on the job but yea i agree | 07:06 |
| pwnguin | heh | 07:06 |
| === imbrandon prods google for checkinstall's homepage | ||
| macd | I think I'm missing something seriously fundamental, Ive got the dsc, the source, the diff.gz which mentions changes to debian/* but nothing has a debian/* dir in it? | 07:06 |
| superm1 | perhaps something that runs ldd on the binaries, and then uses apt-file to find where they are coming from | 07:06 |
| imbrandon | macd: `dpkg-source -x *.dsc` | 07:07 |
| pwnguin | imbrandon: no wonder i cant access it; we cant both browse mexico's only http server :P | 07:07 |
| superm1 | it would grab a majority of the dependencies at least then | 07:07 |
| imbrandon | LOL | 07:07 |
| imbrandon | superm1: i was thinking exactly that | 07:07 |
| persia | superm1: We can't guarantee the presence of apt-file: a network solution might be cleaner, but that sort of thing. | 07:07 |
| superm1 | persia, well make checkinstall depend on apt-file then | 07:07 |
| imbrandon | heh | 07:07 |
| persia | macd: That's normal. The .diff.gz gets applied to the .tar.gz, and generates the debian/ directory. | 07:08 |
| pwnguin | there can't be that many header files | 07:08 |
| superm1 | or at least recommend it | 07:08 |
| pwnguin | just build a DB | 07:08 |
| macd | a light upstairs just went off, thanks | 07:08 |
| superm1 | and then if it doesn't detect its presence, then a network solution to query packages.ubuntu.com could go too | 07:08 |
| persia | superm1: Think cross-distro. It'd be nice to get something better for checkinstall in Ubuntu, but if we can patch it so upstream can send it to everyone, we get better random crack out there. | 07:08 |
| superm1 | indeed. your right it is always better to think on a more distro global scale with things like this | 07:09 |
| persia | pwnguin: There's a potentially infinite number of header files: consider all the libraries that could ever be written, in all the programming languages that have been invented. | 07:09 |
| pwnguin | good news | 07:09 |
| pwnguin | nobody uses random infinite libraries | 07:09 |
| imbrandon | the one thing this is gonna be tricky with is pythn packages | 07:10 |
| macd | Should I leave the maintainer name alone? or change it to mine so I can sign it when done? | 07:10 |
| imbrandon | you sign it based on the changelog | 07:10 |
| pwnguin | macd: theres a script out there to fix it up motu style | 07:10 |
| persia | imbrandon: Why python? Can't we extract a fair amount of info from either setup.py or the ezinstall wrapper? | 07:10 |
| superm1 | imbrandon, well you can always parse all python source files for import lines too | 07:10 |
| superm1 | and do test imports if it came down to it | 07:10 |
| imbrandon | hr, | 07:10 |

| imbrandon | wow checkinstall is just a big bash script | 07:14 |
| pwnguin | heh | 07:15 |
| imbrandon | i'm just putting some things in a text file for now, i'll write a coherant spec after soem sleep tonight | 07:15 |
| persia | imbrandon: Yep. It's not very robust either: it assumes a fair amount about the running system, which is not always true. | 07:16 |
| imbrandon | but just from an initial inspection i'm thinking after mabe some "basic" dep checking in checkinstall we might be better making our own tool based in part on checkinstall code/ideas and distro indep | 07:17 |
| imbrandon | with an optional gui | 07:17 |
| persia | imbrandon: That sounds good. I'm in favor of a parallel path: basic fixes to checkinstall (with efforts to get upstream), and a better local tool to assist Ubuntu users who are upstream developers in producing preview debs. | 07:18 |

| imbrandon | lifeless: hehe we're trygin to make a MOTU-in-a-box , lots of backlog to read, its not what you think :) | 07:20 |
| persia | Further, replacing checkinstall with some guided .dsc/.deb builder that is relatively sane will further improve the random crack found on the internet. | 07:21 |
| imbrandon | by dependancy checking, gracefully pulling off dh_make type things etc | 07:21 |
| imbrandon | and clean room building with chroots/pbuilders | 07:21 |

| persia | imbrandon: If for nothing else, you might like `aptitude download hello` and similar. | 07:26 |
| pwnguin | it appears there's none | 07:26 |
| pwnguin | unrelated: "Back around 1999, I was really interested in getting all of Debian imported into CVS (ugh!) so we could have all the benefits of pervasive version control. I've always been sad it didn't happen, especially since ubuntu did it. Although they seem to get less benefits from it than I would have thought at the time, go figure." (from joey hess's blog) | 07:28 |

| persia | LaserJock: Is it not implemented at all? I thought there was at least some stubbing done. | 07:30 |
| imbrandon | or something liek that | 07:30 |
| LaserJock | well, they've got some code for it | 07:30 |
| LaserJock | but it's gonna take awhile | 07:30 |
| LaserJock | last I heard they were gonna just do it over some time | 07:31 |
| persia | LaserJock: Do you know if there were plans to integrate with dget / dput, or will it all be bzr co, bzr ci? | 07:31 |
| LaserJock | no, they are gonna to vcs imports of the packages | 07:31 |
| LaserJock | the first thing is to just get everything into bzr | 07:32 |
| persia | Too bad. It'd be nice to have it automatically scrape the last changelog entry for a commit comment when using dput, but I guess that's harder to implement cleanly. I do hope there will be something for dget. | 07:33 |
| LaserJock | well, I did get them to make dget'able URLs for source packages | 07:34 |
| LaserJock | anyway, I don't know much | 07:34 |
| LaserJock | just I heard they're gonna try to import Debian into LP | 07:34 |

| persia | macd: Make sure the name & email address in the changelog exactly matches the name & email address on the key. In this case, you have "(deb sign only)" getting in the way. | 07:38 |
| macd | I figured as much | 07:39 |
| macd | I should just add that to the changelog then correct? | 07:39 |
| persia | macd: You can override by using debuild -k, and sponsoring yourself, but it'll appear as a sponsored upload to the system, so both names / emails will appear, depending on where in the interface you check it. | 07:39 |

| === viviersf [n=cain@gw.impilinux.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| persia | macd: Interesting. I suspect you've either a static depends in a binary stanza in your control file, or a build-depends that generates the dependency with ${misc:depends}. As long as you build in a feisty chroot, you should be safe to install to a feisty target. | 08:09 |
| macd | I notice after doing debuild -S -sa, the file.orig.gz doesnt have an updated timestamp, I thought debuild from within the source dir rebuilt the orig.gz file? doesnt pbuilder extract and use that to build? | 08:12 |
| macd | ohh, nvm | 08:12 |
| macd | answered myself | 08:12 |
| macd | I do have %{misc-depends} in the control file, what exactly does that entail? | 08:14 |
| macd | pending the rest of the dependencies are met, is it safe to remove that? | 08:14 |
| persia | macd: That pulls in all the dependencies that you want based on the build. You don't want to remove it, or at least you really want to understand why something was brought in that way, and that you really don't need it prior to removal. | 08:16 |
| macd | gotcha | 08:17 |
| === Lure [n=lure@ubuntu/member/lure] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| macd | is ${misc:depends} defined anywhere? | 08:20 |
| macd | Im just wondering b/c it keeps throwin this non ubuntu package in there *libmocha) and it will never install short of forcing it that way | 08:20 |
| ajmitch | from what I saw, libmocha is only dragged in from the Depends: line, make sure that your package did rebuild properly | 08:21 |
| ajmitch | eg that it has a recent timestamp corresponding to when you built it | 08:21 |
| ajmitch | & that you ran pbuilder with the updated .dsc | 08:21 |
| persia | macd: Just to confirm: libmocha doesn't appear in the control file (for either source or binary stanzas), nor libmocha-dev, and you are building it in a feisty pbuilder chroot, in which libmocha is not installed, right? | 08:21 |
| macd | correct@ persia | 08:22 |
| ajmitch | the original Depends: line is Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ruby, ruby1.8 (>=1.8.2-3), rake (>>0.7.0), rdoc (>>1.8.2), libsqlite3-ruby1.8 | libpgsql-ruby1.8 | libmysql-ruby1.8 | libdbi-ruby1.8, libredcloth-ruby1.8, liberb-ruby, libmocha-ruby1.8 | 08:22 |

| persia | macd: You probably want to use `dch -i`, and generate rails_1.2.4-1ubuntu1.dsc, just so you can debdiff the .dsc files and verify your changes, but that doesn't explain the problem. | 08:24 |
| macd | ajmitch, I ran debuild from within rails-1.2.4/ at 1:00 | 08:25 |

| macd | should the debdiff on what Im working on be from the original feisty rails to the newly built feisty rails, or from the upstream package to the newly built feisty rails? | 09:01 |
| persia | macd: If there is a debian package, you want it to be against the debian package. | 09:02 |
| macd | I have to wonder why not against the current feisty package? | 09:03 |
| persia | macd: Volume of diff output. One typically selects the smallest debdiff for submission to a bug. | 09:04 |
| macd | k | 09:05 |
| persia | macd: I don't typically due SRUs, but if you need a diffstat, take the diffstat from the debdiff between the existing feisty package and the candidate package, even though that's not the debdiff you're attaching. | 09:06 |
| === jussio1 [n=jussi@dyn3-82-128-184-36.psoas.suomi.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||

| === persia looks at the SRU process again | ||
| macd | it says for SRU you should attach a complete source debdiff | 09:10 |
| macd | I would assume that means b/t the 2 feisty packages | 09:11 |
| persia | Bleh: this is written to imply MOTUs never file SRU requests | 09:11 |
| Hobbsee | there would be some truth to that.... | 09:12 |
| Hobbsee | or at least, some of us bad MOTU's :P | 09:12 |
| persia | Hobbsee: Right. See, if someone were to rewrite all the documentation to indicate that people of certain ages in certain sourthern districts were responsible for SRUs, you might act differently :) | 09:13 |
| Hobbsee | haha | 09:13 |
| Hobbsee | but if it's truthful.... | 09:13 |

| === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| persia | macd: The general rule of thumb is to use the smallest debdiff that contains sufficient information to properly encapsulate all the changes for the new candidate. This test isn't very clear. I'd say you're pretty safe either way: as long as the sponsor can easily regenerate your candidate. On the other hand, I don't do much with SRUs, so you may see other opinions. | 09:14 |
| === ivoks [n=ivoks@3-51.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| persia | Hobbsee: Well, I'm not sure we can go that far, but I think language that encouraged MOTUs to also make SRU requests would be good (unless we're following a "if you propose, you can't approve" rule.) | 09:15 |
| Hobbsee | hm | 09:16 |
| macd | would it be a safe bet to upload a debdiff for source and for the package, along with everything built? | 09:18 |
| macd | or is that just extreme overkill | 09:18 |
| persia | macd: Only the source debdiff is interesting. That's the set of changes that is sponsored. Any binary packages are just side effects useful for testing. | 09:18 |

| dholbach | hrm | 10:01 |
| dholbach | I'd rather he applied the 5 patches and put them into debian/applied-patches for reference or something - there's no need to unpatch the autoconf changes | 10:02 |

| RAOF | !packagingguide | contrast83: Read this one? -> | 10:02 |
| persia | dholbach: The argument is that we don't want to use 1.7 anymore (true), and that it massively reduces the size of the diff.gz. Note that the autotools update is completely sane, just hasn't attracted Debian interest. | 10:03 |

| RAOF | persia: :). I was hoping to avoid the 3mb debdiff + autofoo, but... | 10:14 |
| persia | RAOF: Me too :) It's a 3MB debdiff, but the majority is a reduction of the 3MB diff.gz. I'd recommend getting rid of 90_autoconf_fixes.patch (or whatever), and applying that raw, just to make it cleaner. | 10:15 |

| contrast83 | RAOF: The only ones I'm seeing which I'd feel comfortable taking on (those related to .desktop files, mostly), are already spoken for... | 10:17 |
| RAOF | contrast83: Hm, OK. Got a pet kubuntu package, or kubuntu peeve (it's KDE, I'm sure there are lots :P)? | 10:18 |
| contrast83 | RAOF: That does bring me to another question though... As a KDE user that uses several GNOME apps, I've made alternate .desktop files for them so they fit better with the general language of KDE's .desktop files. Any idea whether those could be put to broad use somehow? | 10:19 |
| pwnguin | hmm | 10:19 |
| contrast83 | Oh, and they also solve the problem of said apps showing up in multiple categories under the K Menu. | 10:19 |
| pwnguin | i should probably pick up that slow suspend bitesize patch | 10:19 |
| RAOF | persia: You mean apply all the autotools patches + the autoreconf patch just raw to the source? | 10:20 |
| persia | contrast83: Ideally, we should have a single .desktop file that works for both GNOME & KDE. It's possible to maintain parallel trees, but it's a big overhead, and harder to push to Debian, and even harder to push upstream. | 10:20 |
| pwnguin | i always assumed my hardware couldn't suspend | 10:21 |
| persia | RAOF: If I understand correctly, it's actually a reversion of a patch in the diff.gz, and a restoration to upstream. | 10:21 |

| contrast83 | RAOF: One of them is just a .desktop file that's a link to ~/.kde/Autostart, placed in the System submenu. Think that could fit into the kubuntu-default-settings package? | 10:23 |

| === RAOF delegates that to pwnguin | ||
| pwnguin | ive already got plenty of fun on my plate | 10:29 |
| RAOF | But what would it actually do? | 10:29 |
| persia | RAOF: It's possible, but do take a look at the bug log before you do that. Personally, I think you'd do better not to drop it (or at least I received some vitrol when offering to sponsor a reduced version previously) | 10:29 |
| pwnguin | just call autoreconf i guess, so you don't have to have a gigantic patch for silly crap | 10:29 |
| RAOF | pwnguin: Yeah, but then you have random versions of automake doing crazy things problems and such. | 10:30 |
| persia | pwnguin: That's incredibly dangerous. Given the level of magic, it makes build completely uncertain. | 10:30 |
| pwnguin | heh | 10:30 |
| pwnguin | autoreconf is already magic to me | 10:30 |
| RAOF | Don't give the buildd's an opportunity to surrepticiously break your package, or they will :) | 10:31 |
| pwnguin | psh | 10:31 |
| pwnguin | they dont need excuses | 10:31 |
| pwnguin | see amd64 and clocks | 10:31 |
| contrast83 | So, last I read, the "official" stance on Automatix is it serves an important purpose, but doesn't do so in a standards-compliant way. I've been working on something that would solve that problem (still very much in its infancy). Once I get it to a point where it's presentable, who should I show it to for critique, and maybe eventually, inclusion in main? | 10:31 |
| pwnguin | contrast83: release early release often | 10:32 |
| persia | pwnguin: Right. The idea is that magic should be confined to packaging-time and runtime. build-time should be predictable. | 10:32 |
| contrast83 | pwnguin: Ok. So release to...? Just Sourceforge or some site like that, or is there something more *Ubuntu-specific? | 10:33 |
| pwnguin | contrast83: this sort of thing should likely be done in the open from the beginning, and seek commentary throughout, given the history of novices and this stuff | 10:33 |
| persia | contrast83: Um. First, state the issue in a way upon which everyone can agree. Second, prepare a candidate for universe/multiverse, for input and testing. If it's deemed critical enough, it may make it to main/restricted, but this shouldn't be a direct goal initially. | 10:33 |
| RAOF | contrast83: Launchpad does code hosting :) | 10:33 |
| pwnguin | contrast83: well, im sure launchpad would love it | 10:33 |
| contrast83 | Ok | 10:34 |
| persia | contrast83: Any code host will do. LP, Google, SF, your private host, etc. | 10:34 |
| pwnguin | if you're shooting for main / universe you have to release code anyways | 10:34 |
| pwnguin | but give smart people a chance to review your work before your mistakes compound | 10:34 |
| RAOF | And do work for you! | 10:34 |
| persia | Rather, code must be released for inclusion: Soyuz only accepts source uploads. | 10:34 |
| pwnguin | and multiverse? | 10:35 |

| persia | pwnguin: All the source is available, but it's not all licensed in a way that's free. | 10:36 |
| contrast83 | Is there already work being done on such a project that I'd be better off directing my efforts to? | 10:36 |
| contrast83 | RAOF: Peace, thanks again. | 10:36 |
| pwnguin | contrast83: have you seen Add/Remove programs in Gnome? | 10:37 |
| persia | contrast83: Depends on which problem you seek to solve. Automatix was trying to hit a few. Some have active efforts underway already. You'd do best to state the problem you mean to solve clearly, and ask for input on where efforts could be best contributed. | 10:37 |
| contrast83 | persia: So CC licenses and the like? | 10:37 |
| contrast83 | pwnguin: I use it. :-) | 10:37 |

| contrast83 | heh | 10:38 |
| persia | contrast83: Sometimes there are also binary blobs (PDF, images, firmware, drivers, etc.) for which there's no source, and some source framework around it, or just a system to download closed binaries from an external source (although this is strongly discouraged). | 10:38 |
| persia | contrast83: It wouldn't be DFSG-free (field of endeavour) | 10:39 |
| contrast83 | Got cha | 10:39 |
| pwnguin | there's a few that are "no israelis" | 10:39 |
| contrast83 | lol | 10:39 |
| pwnguin | i cant remember what off the top of my head, but it was after it was announced that isreali forces accidentally attacked a UN watchpost | 10:40 |
| contrast83 | I think I may already know the answer to this - some users' hard drives are too small to permit it - but why doesn't Ubuntu partition / and /home seperately by default? I've noticed several other distros do that and I was awe-struck by the brilliance once I understood the reasons behind it. | 10:42 |
| awalton__ | I've asked that question in my head for ages, I'd love to hear real discussion on that. | 10:43 |
| contrast83 | The aforementioned project I'm working on (Kubuntu-Aide's the working name) insists to the user before doing anything that if they haven't already done so, they repartition their hard drives like that. One of the extra things it does is set up a very primitive backup/restore system, which is dependent on the partitions being set up like that. | 10:45 |
| persia | contrast83: One hopes you're backing up /usr by storing the output of dpkg --get-selections somewhere, rather than keeping the actual files. | 10:47 |
| contrast83 | persia: of course. :-) | 10:47 |
| pwnguin | because local couldn't possibly exist | 10:47 |
| persia | pwnguin: If it does, it deserves a local backup solution, no? | 10:48 |
| contrast83 | actually... | 10:48 |
| contrast83 | the way i've been going about it, is i have /home/mike/.BASHback, which contains all binary installers, output of dpkg --get-selections, the restore script itself, and so on... | 10:49 |
| contrast83 | and then /home/mike/.BASHback/root-directory/, which contains all changes manually made under / which have been confirmed to not break anything | 10:49 |
| pwnguin | there's a set of programs called simple backup i think | 10:50 |
| === persia remembers that. Isn't there also a user-backup? | ||
| pwnguin | probabl | 10:51 |
| pwnguin | is there much value on backing up stuff to the same disk it came from? | 10:52 |
| contrast83 | what i'd like to have is something that silently monitors / for changes made by anything other than dpkg (obviously excluding general logs, tmp files, etc.). whenever a change is made, upon the next successful boot/login, it asks the user if they'd like to commit their change to the fake root directory (e.g., /home/mike/.BASHback/root-directory) | 10:52 |
| contrast83 | pwnguin: if it's to a different partition, i think so. | 10:53 |
| persia | pwnguin: In the case of accidental deletion or file corruption, yes. In the case of filesystem corruption, maybe. In the case of hardware issues, no. | 10:53 |
| contrast83 | ^ better answer. | 10:53 |
| persia | contrast83: Careful about /var : that could quickly become unmanageable if e.g. mysql were installed. | 10:54 |
| === zakame [i=zakame@ubuntu/member/zakame] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| contrast83 | persia: excluding */var*, general logs, tmp files, etc... :-) | 10:55 |
| pwnguin | /mnt and /media probably as well | 10:55 |
| asisak | ScottK: do you know what happened to the checkgmail update? | 10:56 |
| contrast83 | right, anything in that general realm. i'm just speaking generally, hence the etc. :-P | 10:56 |
| pwnguin | at this point, you're nearly as well off just listing the things you DO want ;) | 10:56 |
| contrast83 | actually, better idea, i think... | 10:57 |
| pwnguin | im guessing you dont want to back up /root | 10:57 |
| persia | pwnguin: Could drop a snapshot into /home/root, if the daemon was suid. | 10:58 |
| === allee [n=ach@allee.mpe.mpg.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||

| pwnguin | ruh? | 10:58 |
| contrast83 | but i'm not backing up the entire directories | 10:58 |
| contrast83 | all i'm placing in the fake root directory are files i've changed or put in / manually, obviously in the proper hierarchy | 10:59 |
| pwnguin | please do name a few gtk apps you run as root | 10:59 |

| === buzztracker [n=buzztrac@pelikan.garga.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| contrast83 | nope. had to manually go in and copy some gtk2-rc file or some such from /home/mike | 11:01 |
| contrast83 | but to better clarify on the original point... | 11:01 |
| === amachu [n=amachu@202.71.146.210] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| contrast83 | i have a fresh install. i download an icon theme, for example, that i want to be available to all users and extract it to /usr/share/icons..... | 11:02 |
| contrast83 | then i would run mkdir -p /home/mike/.BASHback/root-directory/usr/share/icons and then cp /usr/share/icons/newicontheme /home/mike/.BASHback/usr/share/icons | 11:03 |
| pwnguin | it seems like that sort of thing should be a real quick deb | 11:03 |
| pwnguin | in fact, local debs are gonna be a challenge =/ | 11:04 |
| contrast83 | a quick deb for each and every change, or one that covers all of them, which would be updated everytime a new change is made? | 11:04 |
| pwnguin | i just mean, if i want to install a new theme, there _ought_ to be a way to quickly make a .deb from such a thing. donno if alien actually does it or not | 11:05 |
| contrast83 | pwnguin: that's why i said for example. ;-) | 11:05 |
| pwnguin | but you could just as easily use a new etc file or something | 11:05 |
| contrast83 | ? | 11:05 |
| pwnguin | joebob makes a new etf file, maybe a runlevel thing | 11:06 |
| pwnguin | etc | 11:06 |
| pwnguin | anyways | 11:06 |
| contrast83 | so you're saying not even worry about backing up these small changes manually made under /? | 11:06 |
| pwnguin | no, im saying you're right in the general sense | 11:07 |
| contrast83 | ok...? | 11:07 |
| === pwnguin is allowed to change his mind | ||
| contrast83 | lol | 11:07 |
| pwnguin | actually | 11:08 |
| pwnguin | i think there's a dpkg list of all files managed by dpkg | 11:08 |
| RAOF | You can certainly get it on a per-package basis, yes. | 11:08 |
| contrast83 | some of the files to be backed up may be managed by dpkg though | 11:09 |
| pwnguin | what? | 11:09 |
| pwnguin | surely ive seen apt complain that a file was owned by another package | 11:09 |
| RAOF | pwnguin: Yeah, that's right. | 11:09 |
| contrast83 | i've changed dozens upon dozens of default .desktop files under /usr/share/applications | 11:09 |
| RAOF | contrast83: You'd only need to backup anything found in the conffiles of packages. And store diffs if you wanted to backup such manual changes like /u/s/a | 11:10 |
| === Tonio_ [n=tonio@linagoraberri.pck.nerim.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| contrast83 | RAOF: Right. I know there are cleaner and more proper ways to do some of this stuff, like the way you just said, but how comprehensible is something like that to the average end-user. or how practical is it to implement that method in a way that's transparent to the average end-user? | 11:12 |
| persia | contrast83: I don't think supporting changes to package-installed files in /usr is a common use case. For all of them, one should be able to achieve the same result with changes in /etc or $HOME (or else the package is non-ideal, and should be patched). | 11:12 |
| RAOF | contrast83: Pretty practical. | 11:13 |
| RAOF | contrast83: You may be interested in... um, this project on ubuntuforums, which seems to be a simple-backup app. | 11:13 |
| pwnguin | !info simplebackup | 11:13 |
| ubotu | simplebackup: Simple backup tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.0.9-1 (feisty), package size 8 kB, installed size 84 kB | 11:13 |
| pwnguin | that one? | 11:14 |
| contrast83 | And as for things like /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/apt/sources.list? | 11:15 |
| RAOF | They're conf-files. dpkg will leave them alone. If not you get to scream very loudly at the maintainer | 11:15 |
| persia | contrast83: dpkg keeps track of the md5sums of everything auto-installed in /etc. If you have cycles to spare (you may not), only backing up the files that differ would save space. | 11:15 |
| contrast83 | RAOF: We're on different pages here, I think... | 11:16 |
| contrast83 | persia: That's *exactly* what I'm suggesting. | 11:16 |
| persia | RAOF: Not every configuration file is a conffile, and not everything in /etc is a configuration file :) | 11:16 |
| RAOF | True. | 11:16 |
| contrast83 | RAOF: What I'm suggesting is for when the user needs to format the / partition, or that partition becomes otherwise unusable. | 11:16 |
| RAOF | Or... shouldn't anything under /etc be considered as a conffile? | 11:17 |
| contrast83 | RAOF: Then they restore the changes they've made to it from the fake root directory (which contains only those changes) that's under /home/user | 11:17 |
| contrast83 | after reinstalling* | 11:17 |
| RAOF | contrast83: Sounds reasonable. | 11:18 |
| === Mez_ [n=mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| persia | RAOF: No. conffiles must be declared by the packages. The basic difference is that a conffile will likely be edited by a user, and so dpkg should take special efforts to preserve the contents, whereas other configuration files (not conffiles) may be mangled during an upgrade (e.g. the script that gathers everything in foo.d/ to replace the now obsolete foo.conf) | 11:18 |
| contrast83 | I'm thinking the desktop search daemons could be put to use for this, if they could be taught what changes to disregard. | 11:19 |
| persia | contrast83: That's a lot of overhead. inotify is probably a lighter interface. | 11:19 |
| RAOF | persia: Yes, yes. That's right. | 11:20 |
| RAOF | contrast83: Also, the desktop search daemons generally only touch $HOME | 11:20 |
| contrast83 | Ok, note taken... What I'm thinking though is, when a change is made in one of the monitored directories, a notification comes up asking the user if they want to commit this change to their fake root directory. They'd have the option to be asked again later if they're not sure of whether they just broke something. | 11:21 |
| contrast83 | Ahh... Point taken. You can tell I've never really used desktop search. :-) | 11:21 |
| persia | contrast83: Right. Your daemon is an inotify client, and manages the user interaction through a dbus? call to your session app, which puts a new icon in the notification-area? | 11:22 |
| contrast83 | persia: Sounds right. | 11:22 |
| persia | The notification-area? icon launches your GUI app, passing the message, and allows user configuration, which gets passed back to your daemon. | 11:23 |
| contrast83 | Remember, I'm still a borderline noob, so this is all purely brainstorming at this point. Not sure how im/practical any of it might be. | 11:23 |
| === persia recommends simple-backup, user-backup, hubackup, etc. | ||
| contrast83 | ok... i just installed simple-backup. gonna tinker with it a bit. | 11:24 |
| RAOF | contrast83: You may also be interested in revision | 11:25 |
| RAOF | -control systems, form what it looks like. | 11:25 |
| contrast83 | like SVN, GIT, etc? | 11:26 |
| RAOF | Yes. | 11:29 |
| RAOF | Well, more git or bzr, because they don't require a central server. | 11:29 |
| contrast83 | Got cha | 11:29 |

| albert23 | I was asked to do a patch using cdbs. debian/patches didn't exist yet, so clearly this is the first patch. Is it ok to start numbering at 01 or should I leave some number space for possible debian patches? | 01:19 |
| RAOF | persia: I'd prefer to redo the 90_autotools patch entirely. It'll be easy to make it ~1K. | 01:21 |
| persia | albert23: You can use any numbering scheme you like (including the absence of a numbering scheme). Personally, I like to start with 01, just to indicate that this applies before other patches. | 01:21 |
| RAOF | persia: Any thoughts here? | 01:21 |
| persia | RAOF: That seems sensible. If I understand the original intention properly, the point was to revert the diff.gz patch, and make minimal changes to ensure it compiled with 1.9 | 01:22 |
| albert23 | persia: thanks, I will use 01 then | 01:22 |

| contrast83 | in theory, at least. :-\ | 01:27 |
| ScottK | doko: Did you see my overnight ping to please consider adding libsigc++-2.0 to your ia32-libs upload so Skype will work on AMD64. | 01:27 |
| persia | contrast83: One thing to watch out for is that make assumes every rule will generate a file matching the rule name, so if there is already a file there, it won't run (unless it depends on a rule for which the corresponding file has a newer timestamp). | 01:27 |
| doko | ScottK: yes | 01:28 |

| persia | RAOF: Not really: just thinking of things more fun than manually editing Makefile.in Good luck with the timestamps :) | 01:48 |
| RAOF | The active ingredient of the Makefile.am patches is a 2 line change to Makefile.in. | 01:48 |
| persia | RAOF: Ah. | 01:48 |
| RAOF | Sadly, this comes burdened with autofoo changing every single other line, just because it can. | 01:48 |
| RAOF | Oh, yes. The joy of timestamps. | 01:49 |

| bluekuja | ScottK: that's all I've done for it | 01:55 |
| Whoopie | ScottK: you're absolutely right. if I understood correctly, he thinks there's no need for s2ram as it's not intregrated in acpi-support. | 01:55 |
| ScottK | OK. | 01:55 |

| Whoopie | I tried to, but the arguments are that it should be available even if it's not used by default. | 01:56 |
| === persia is confused. is having an extra binary bad? If it is to be removed, should not the associated miscellaneous packaging bits also be removed? | ||
| ScottK | Whoopie: Then Won't Fix. Yes, it kind of makes sense, but we aren't going to do it. | 01:57 |
| ScottK | persia: Ask mjg59 why (but probably not the day before the RC is scheduled). | 01:57 |
| Whoopie | persia: I tested it half successfully. but it seems to me that it's an issue with my laptop, not the debdiff itself. | 01:58 |
| persia | ScottK: Something should be done. From the bug log, it appears s2ram is mentioned in README.Debian (and no, I'm not chasing this before release, just having opinions as a means to procrastinate tracking down hydrogen crashes) | 01:58 |
| ScottK | Sure. Makes sense. | 01:59 |
| persia | Whoopie: OK. One of the basic requirements to get a debdiff committed is to have a successful test. With the current state of the bug log, it's very unlikely anyone will upload your candidate. | 01:59 |

| RAOF | Right. Debdiff is now 44K rather than 3.3 Mb. That makes it much easier to see what's happening :) | 02:04 |
| persia | Whoopie: BTW, nice work in making a patch for both 109151 and 114688 | 02:04 |
| Whoopie | persia: good plan, I asked on #ubuntu+1 if someone wants to test, but no answers. | 02:04 |
| persia | RAOF: debdiff against what? | 02:04 |
| ScottK | Whoopie: Forgot not everyone could do that. | 02:04 |
| RAOF | persia: The current package version (ubuntu2) | 02:05 |
| Whoopie | ScottK: why? | 02:05 |
| persia | Whoopie: You could try #ubuntu. I've had success in the past trading advice for testing. | 02:05 |
| Whoopie | ScottK: because I just provided a debdiff. | 02:05 |
| ScottK | Won't Fix is restricted. | 02:05 |
| Whoopie | ? | 02:05 |
| Whoopie | ah | 02:05 |
| persia | RAOF: Did you decide not to modify autotools? What about backing out the Debian autotools patch to make it build with 1.9 instead of 1.7? | 02:06 |
| ScottK | Whoopie: I was suggesting you do it because you (unlike me) appear to have some understanding of the issue. | 02:06 |
| Whoopie | ScottK: ok, sorry, misunderstanding. | 02:07 |
| ScottK | No problem. | 02:07 |
| RAOF | persia: I decided to do the minimal changes, although this includes some autotools modifications. | 02:07 |
| persia | RAOF: Ah. I actually liked the reversion of the autotools hack: I don't think 1.7 is a good target :) On the other hand, it makes it hard to concentrate on the actual bugfixes ;) | 02:08 |
| RAOF | persia: However, I didn't touch the existing debian direct-to-the-source patches. | 02:08 |
| persia | RAOF: Do you still have a 90-autofoo patch then? | 02:09 |
| RAOF | persia: Yes, it's just much, much smaller. | 02:09 |
| RAOF | And only touches the files it needs to. | 02:09 |
| RAOF | Of course, it's still building, so "it needs to" may need to be expanded in the future (but I, obviously, don't think so). | 02:10 |
| RAOF | You know what would be awesome? If autotools didn't rebuild every single file it touched from the ground up with every change ;) | 02:10 |
| persia | RAOF: Personally, I think a package that patches the autotools one way from diff.gz, and then another way from dpatch is just broken (and will be very painful to maintain). When you've got the rest sorted, would you mind either dismantling the diff.gz patch, or adding your 90-autofoo patch to diff.gz raw? | 02:10 |
| persia | RAOF: It doesn't. Only those that would be affected by the change (based on timestamps). The fact that so much is touched in the diff.gz unpack (for the 1.9 -> 1.7 backport) horribly confuses the tools. | 02:11 |
| RAOF | persia: No, I mean that when it touches a file it re-writes it totally, even if the active ingredient is a 2 line patch. | 02:13 |

| RAOF | persia: Again, I think we're talking past each other - I don't mean it shouldn't rewrite the file from scratch rather than trying to modify the existing file, but it should re-write it in roughly the same way so that the 2 line diff that counts isn't swamped by thousands of lines of cosmetic changes. | 02:15 |
| persia | RAOF: It's supposed to produce roughly the same output, as long as the input is the same. I suspect you see the result of improved config.sub and config.guess :) | 02:16 |

| asac | ScottK: i don't think we need an nspluginwrapper update for gutsy. what is new? | 02:57 |
| persia | RAOF: If I remember correctly, the diff.gz unpack touches just about eveerything. The patches get applied sequentially, so the things touched last will have the latest timestamps. That's one of the reasons mixing diff.gz and debian/patches is likely to cause heartbreak. | 02:57 |
| ScottK | asac: I've been told (but haven't actually checked) that it works better with a new flash beta (I think it was). | 02:58 |
| RAOF | persia: I've checked the previous build logs, and they managed to have timestamp problems even without the debian/patches stuff ;) | 02:58 |
| RAOF | But you're right. | 02:58 |
| ScottK | asac: Dunno if you noticed on devel-discuss, but the Automatix devs have kind of reached out to cooperate. Currently their Gutsy version will provide it, so I'd rather have there be one less 'reason' for people to install Automatix. | 02:59 |
| ScottK | That's enough for me right there. | 02:59 |

| ScottK | asac: If you say no, I won't do it, but as I say, one less reason for them to exist. | 03:01 |
| persia | RAOF: It should reinflate the debdiff to ~3.5MB, but reduce diff.gz to almost nothing, and make the package sane for the next person. | 03:02 |
| asac | ScottK: at least I would want to get ppa testing with forum feedback i would say | 03:02 |

| ScottK | My Gutsy laptop just overheated and died thanks to kernel regression, so it wont' be immediate. | 03:04 |
| asac | thanks | 03:04 |
| RAOF | persia: So you reackon we should keep the autofoo 1.7 -> 1.9 targeting from the diff.gz+ | 03:04 |
| persia | RAOF: Hrm? Now I'm confused. I thought the diff.gz went from 1.9 -> 1.7 (although I haven't actually looked at the patch in a few months). | 03:05 |
| RAOF | persia: No. diff.gz went 1.7 -> 1.9. | 03:05 |
| persia | RAOF: Um.. That's actually useful. Now I don't know what to say. The quick & dirty way would be to just apply the 5 little fixes in diff.gz, but the author of the bugfixes seemed pretty set against that, so I'm not sure we have permission. | 03:06 |

| pkern | persia: Of course C++ isn't that magical. | 03:33 |
| ScottK | pkern: It needs AMD64. Build it test it and see if it works. | 03:33 |
| pkern | persia: But that should raise a compiler failure. | 03:33 |
| pkern | ScottK: I'm on amd64. | 03:33 |
| ScottK | perfect. | 03:33 |
| pkern | But I guess I would need a link. | 03:33 |
| ScottK | I'll have a debdiff for you in just a moment. In the meantime you may as well get Debian's from Sid. | 03:34 |
| persia | pkern: I've been primarily programming in Ruby the past few months, so missing methods don't scream "BUG!" at me as much as they did in the past, and despite most of my Ubuntu patches being C++, I don't consider myself to know the language. | 03:34 |
| pkern | persia: Duck typing friend? :-P | 03:34 |
| RAOF | Duck typing *rocks*, although it does mean that language designers are less likely to have a turing complete type system. | 03:35 |
| ScottK | geser: Did you get the rails update done (speaking of Ruby)? | 03:35 |
| pkern | persia: Consider this for this particular problem: setLanguage should work magically? Then set_language would have to work magically too. And that would be nonsense. ;) | 03:35 |
| pkern | RAOF: Problem is that it's harder to find problems as you need to actually invoke all lines of code. | 03:35 |
| pkern | Now duck typing is also possible with C++ and you get type safety. | 03:36 |
| persia | pkern: In Ruby, it works, despite being nonsense (as long as you have a sufficiently overloaded missing_method) | 03:36 |
| RAOF | pkern: Kinda. | 03:36 |
| RAOF | pkern: But yes, you do want unittests, and having apport give a nice backtrace on all the bugs is nice. | 03:36 |
| pkern | persia: I know. | 03:37 |
| persia | I could ask for more with backtraces. "0x00002baa04c47b91 in std::string::assign () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6" isn't really a good pointer to a missing method. | 03:37 |
| pkern | A missing method would imply an ABI break? | 03:38 |
| persia | pkern: It's an internal API for the app. Specifically, Hydrogen crashes when loading different drumkits under certain circumstances. | 03:38 |

| pkern | asac: I had to change my VPN endpoint too. | 04:23 |
| pkern | asac: I don't feel that an empty resolv.conf is helpful at all. | 04:23 |
| asac | pkern: i don't see how keeping the old resolv.conf is a cleaner way ... most of the times it should be equally wrong | 04:23 |
| pkern | Thus it should drop changes to resolv.conf if no new nameservers are set. | 04:23 |
| pkern | asac: Not if you use the possibility of using partial routing. | 04:24 |
| asac | does that work with network-manager? | 04:24 |
| pkern | asac: I could set "only route 0.0.0.0/24 through this VPN" in n-m-openvpn. | 04:24 |
| pkern | Which then erased my nameserver settings because they weren't pushed. | 04:25 |
| pkern | I don't know why the hell admins refuse to change that. | 04:25 |
| asac | what happens if you enter a valid subnet there? | 04:25 |
| pkern | Now we could just say to beg their admins to do it. But leaving them with an empty resolv.conf is IMHO worse than leaving them with nameservers not reachable. | 04:25 |
| pkern | n-m-vpnc supports that setting too. | 04:26 |
| pkern | Well I have a valid subnet entered there and it works. | 04:26 |

| ScottK | keescook: OK. As long as it was on purpose. Thanks. They way LP has been lately, I had my doubts. | 05:22 |
| keescook | hehe | 05:22 |
| ScottK | They/The | 05:22 |
| keescook | it shouldn't have been "everything", just OOo | 05:22 |
| ScottK | Well it was definitely more. | 05:22 |
| asac | well ... might be fixable upstream ... otherwise we need to recreate the wrappers, but that would need infrastructure work | 05:22 |
| ScottK | keescook: As an example... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+publishinghistory | 05:23 |

| leonel | scottK downloaded clamav sources from gutsy to feisty theres a dependency for libcurl4 ... should I change the debian/control file with dpatch-edit-patch ?? | 05:23 |
| ScottK | Urgh. | 05:23 |

| Hobbsee | (you think i'm going to be foolish enough to pull a computer apart while it's turned on?) | 05:46 |
| Hobbsee | and plugging in a speaker cable != pulling hte back off - on any scale! | 05:46 |
| ScottK | Umm. Well I've done that. | 05:46 |
| === broonie too | ||
| Hobbsee | as in, and then touch bits of it that obviously shouldnt be touched | 05:47 |
| ScottK | Only got electrocuted once (and that one wasn't turned on). | 05:47 |
| broonie | Helps if you know how the case is designed. | 05:47 |
| ScottK | In my case it would have helped if the tech that built the prototype (me) had properly shrink wrapped the internal connections from the power line to the power supply. | 05:48 |

| Hobbsee | so maybe i should be unsurprised about the computer stuff. | 05:50 |
| persia | Hobbsee: The idea is to make sure you don't sue them because you were stupid. | 05:50 |
| broonie | The planes Easyjet use for the Edinburgh->Luton run have safety instructions that include gems like "don't jump into fire". | 05:50 |

| Hobbsee | broonie: *snort* | 05:50 |
| Hobbsee | good thing i wasnt drinking! | 05:51 |
| persia | Hobbsee: They can try (that's what legal departments are for). | 05:51 |
| Hobbsee | this is australia, not america. | 05:51 |
| asac | ScottK: personally i wouldn't do it. i have not seen any real benefit to justify two new uploads during RC freeze. There isn't any critical bug open for both et al. ... but then my bar might be too high for |universe|. | 05:51 |
| ScottK | asac: Thanks. | 05:51 |
| asac | ScottK: if you really want to go ahead, let me know so i can upload them to ppa | 05:52 |
| pkern | So they point would be to get better compatibility to a package not in Gutsy? (i.e. flashplugin beta) | 05:53 |
| ScottK | Right. | 05:53 |
| persia | Hobbsee: I've actually had more delays related to legal arrangements in Australia than in America, but perhaps it's just me. | 05:53 |
| asac | pkern: where is that bug? | 05:53 |
| Hobbsee | persia: ah. all i meant by that comment was that, as australians, we dont tend to sue anyone and everyone for any reason. | 05:54 |
| Hobbsee | whereas it seems that americans do that far mroe | 05:54 |
| ScottK | asac: I'd appreciate it if you go ahead and upload to PPA. If you're running 32bit FF plugins on 64bit archs, I expect your the sort that wants the latest crack. | 05:54 |

| macd | Im just looking for some clarification if it was done properly | 08:36 |
| keescook | macd: okay, thanks, let me go read it quickly | 08:37 |
| keescook | macd: yeah, if we can get the upstream fixes extracted and put into a debdiff, I'd be happy to get them published. | 08:40 |
| macd | okay, do you have a minute to give me some insight on that | 08:41 |
| macd | am I just diffing the current feisty source package v. the upstream debian source? | 08:42 |
| keescook | macd: unfortunately not; it's a bit more involved. | 08:43 |
| keescook | macd: since they are stable releases, we want to only change the vulnerable code | 08:44 |
| keescook | macd: so the debdiff should only include patches for the specific changesets mentioned that fix the CVEs. | 08:44 |
| macd | ok, is there a reference on the wiki for this? | 08:44 |
| keescook | yeah, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityUpdateProcedures | 08:44 |
| keescook | in step 2, it links to the patching tutorial too. | 08:45 |
| imbrandon | keescook: macd is very new to MOTU and just getting started, this is his first "fix" | 08:45 |
| imbrandon | just FYI | 08:45 |
| keescook | imbrandon: cool; I'm glad to have the help. :) | 08:45 |
| macd | great, I didnt know that was the process I just built a feisty package based on the debian upstream sources and figured that was it | 08:45 |
| keescook | macd: that would work for -backports, but I'm less familiar with that area. | 08:46 |
| macd | so diff the CVE related changes, create a patch and add that to the LP bug | 08:46 |
| keescook | macd: right. I haven't looked at the rails package, but it may use a patch system (dpatch, cdbs, etc) | 08:47 |
| keescook | that's where the patching tutorial in step 2 might be helpful | 08:47 |
| macd | dpatch, yeah. again thanks | 08:47 |
| keescook | sure thing, let me know if you have any other questions. | 08:47 |

| pkern | mrvn will get me his ocaml version of buildd but *shrug* ocaml... | 12:25 |
| norsetto | _16aR_: you should change this: Maintainer: Dolanor Tharivae <dolanor@evereska.org> | 12:25 |
| _16aR_ | pkern: it needs lots of tweaking. There one script called with dput (it do the reprepro command) and there a "daemon" which looks the buildTmp dir to pbuilder the content | 12:25 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: in gnelib ? | 12:25 |
| norsetto | _16aR_: well, its your gnelib link, but it is really replicantbody | 12:26 |
| pkern | _16aR_: I need two arch autobuilding (the one which is missing). | 12:26 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: I think I've done it on PPA, but not on revu since it was too hasty to put it (since the dependency with hawknl couldn't be verified | 12:26 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: ah yes. I thought i'd updated replicantbody on that though | 12:27 |
| norsetto | _16aR_: I noticed that you have no versioning in your deps. You sure its ok like this? | 12:27 |
| _16aR_ | pkern: I don't know if my script can help... There are really bad call to pbuilder and reprepro, some mv/rm, and that's all | 12:28 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: I've tried to add versionning like in the libpkg-guide, but the script for versionning wasn't found. I didn't look for it afterwards | 12:29 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: So I let without versionning | 12:29 |
| norsetto | _16aR_: you don't need this: +debian/tmp/usr/lib/librvrutils.so.0.0.0 usr/lib/ in librvrutils0.install | 12:29 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: oh ? Why ? | 12:29 |
| norsetto | _16aR_: because you are just coipying the same file in the same location | 12:30 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: hu ? Everything in debian/tmp/ will be copied as is ? | 12:31 |
| norsetto | _16aR_: in .install the first element is relative to the current directory, ythe second to the build directory | 12:31 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: I mean, the deb archive will be done from debian/tmp ? | 12:31 |

| norsetto | _16aR_: yes | 12:31 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: some would say : OMGWTFBBQ ! | 12:32 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: this IS an enlightenment ! | 12:32 |
| _16aR_ | lol | 12:32 |
| _16aR_ | So my every package stinks foot ... | 12:33 |
| _16aR_ | I copy every time from debian/tmp/usr/lib/ to usr/lib | 12:33 |
| _16aR_ | nearly every time | 12:33 |
| norsetto | _16aR_: well, they had some convoluted logic in them ..... | 12:34 |
| _16aR_ | I like harrassing CPU for nothing ! | 12:34 |
| _16aR_ | I thought the .install things copy from build dir to a chroot env. But it seems the build dir IS the chroot env ^^ | 12:34 |
| norsetto | _16aR_: yes again :-) | 12:35 |
| _16aR_ | norsetto: I must be retard... Hmmm there's quite few packages to modify then ... :p | 12:37 |
