ddaaThe LaTeX-like structured document paradigm is vastly superior.05:11
ddaaThey just both suck in different ways.05:11
mwhudsonnevertheless latex still sucks05:11
mwhudsonmaybe just not as much :)05:11
intellectronicalatex is great. anything else i know is a compromise on quality05:11

ddaaToday, we can do structured AND beautiful AND WYSIWYG.05:12
intellectronicaah yes, i remember giving it a try a few years ago and it was pretty good. these days i don't tend to produce many printable documents anyway05:13
Hobbseehmmm.  i'm going to love the day when launchpad gives me automatic debdiffs between releases, wiki-style.05:19
evarlastI just don't see how LaTeX "sucks". It is what it is. It is an SGML for document publication. Its NOT a WYSIWYG editor and it isn't supposed to me.05:21
ddaaevarlast: the only think that can RELIABLY parse LaTeX documents is TeX.05:22
ddaait's not a markup language05:22
mwhudsonevarlast: have you looked at the source to xypic?05:22
ddaait's not structured, it just gives the _illusion_ of structure, and people who know TeX love to break the abstraction.05:22
ddaaI know that first-hand from working on a project which critically needs good latex import and export filters. And that's a horrible problem.05:23
ddaaIt allows, even invite, people to mix logical and physical markup.05:24
ddaaoops, I ranted again.05:24
evarlastddaa: I like rants. It is cool. I'd argue that it IS a markup language. It may not be deterministic.05:25
ddaaIn short, LaTeX is NOT a document format. It's a programming language.05:25
evarlastah!  I hate physical markup in ANY system.05:25
=== synic [n=squish@pdpc/supporter/student/synic] has joined #launchpad
ddaaevarlast: okay, then we agree. LaTeX sucks as a markup language because it cannot be reliably parsed, and it's tied to TeX which, by design, cannot be made WYSIWYG.05:27
ddaaThe notion that it's not possible to be both WYSIWYG and structured is incorrect. But the way LaTeX sucks at WYSIWYG and the way conventional word processors suck at structured cause this notion to survive.05:27
evarlastas long as we still agree that LaTeX is pretty awesome ;)05:27
ddaaIt's legacy. Document writing needs to move into the 21st century.05:28

lamontbigjools: howdy08:53
bigjoolshey lamont - your chroot fix suggestion worked like a charm, thanks!08:53
bigjoolslamont: would you be able to make me new chroots with that change for all our active distroarchseries?08:54
lamontall as in _ALL_?08:56
lamontand yes, i can do that08:56
bigjoolsyes - we're ditching the pocketchroot concept in favour of one chroot per d-a-s08:57
bigjoolsand the slave scanner will tell it which pockets it can use, as we talked about yesterday08:57
lamontah, and LP will just force sources.list to what it should be>?08:57
bigjoolsyup08:58
lamontcool.  because, for instance, -security probably shouldn't be using -updates08:58
bigjoolsyeah, it doesn't in the new code :)08:58
=== ScottK [n=ScottK@ubuntu/member/scottk] has joined #launchpad
lamontwoot!08:58
lamontso... give me one collection of tarballs on chinstrap, and I'll give you a replacement set.08:59
=== lamont is also getting hardy chroots ready
lamontoh...08:59
lamonthrm.08:59
lamontdoes the overrides append to sources.list, or force it completely?08:59
bigjoolssee here for the deps we're using:08:59
bigjoolshttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/launchpad-users/2007-October/002486.html08:59
bigjoolsit forces it completely09:00
lamontok.  needed feature: there must be a way to add a non-LP archive to sources.list for bootstrapping purposes.  for bonus points, it should be painfully obvious that such a thing has happened.09:01
lamontmaybe a -bootstrap pocket, which then gets the results, and can be forced for the actual build... anyway, we'll need to hammer that bit of things out.09:01
bigjoolsthat could be arranged09:01
bigjoolsyeah09:01
bigjoolscprov: can you grab all the active release pocketchroots for lamont and put them on chinstrap please?09:02
cprovbigjools: gutsy or all supported atm ?09:03
lamontfor example, if you look in sources.list.{mult,un}iverse on several of the gutsy chroots right now, you'll find that they also look at sanae/~lamont/bootstrap (which is how we got mlton and icedtea-java7 into gutsy *verse), and that the hppa chroot fully looks at sanae/~lamont/gutsy-stage0 (bootstrapping hppa into LP)09:03
bigjoolscprov: we'll need all active d-a-s when this code goes live09:03
=== lamont will use a while loop. :)
bigjoolsthis is going to be a lot of chroots, but look on the bright side, it's a lot LESS in the end :)09:05
bigjoolsor fewer, I should say09:05

ScottKWould someone please explain to me what this information is supposed to mean? https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/pyspf/+packaging10:34
kikoScottK, that Ubuntu pyspf is packaged from upstream PySPF?10:36
ubotuNew bug: #153407 in launchpad "feeds template needs info about date a bug was made private" [Low,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/15340710:36
ScottKkiko: We get it in Ubuntu from Debian.10:36
ScottKThere is an uptsream eventually, but not directly.10:36
kikoScottK, which in turn gets its code from upstream pyspf10:36
ScottKRight.10:36
kikoit doesn't matter if it's direct or not10:37
ScottKBut that doesn't actually point to anything.10:37
ScottKAnd it can't be removed.10:37
kikowhy would you remove it?10:37
ScottKBecause it doesn't point to anything meaninful.10:37
kikoScottK, it actually does. it includes the homepage to the upstream project10:37
kikoand if the upstream project had a code repo or a bug tracker10:38
ScottKWhere?  I don't see any links on that page?10:38
kikoit would also allow further functionality10:38
kikodo you mean https://edge.launchpad.net/pyspf?10:38
kikoI think you're just confused by the poor UI in +packaging10:38
ScottKNo.  That's not the upstream.10:38
kikoScottK, really?10:39
ScottKI'm one of the upstream maintainers (in addition to an Ubuntu dev) and I"ve never seen that before.10:39
kikohow interesting10:39
ScottKUpstream is on Sourceforge10:39
kikoso that may be an honest mistake then.10:39
kikowhat's the URL?10:39
ajmitchregistered by Registry Administrators10:39
kiko(to the project)?10:39
=== ScottK looks
ScottKkiko: It's part of this project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pymilter/10:40
kikoScottK, okay, I'll fix it up.10:41
ScottKkiko: How is it that random incorrect data like this gets filled in?10:42
ScottKAn "Assume all projects use Launchpad" model doesn't seem likely to have a very high accuracy.10:43
=== Ubulette_ is now known as Ubulette
kikoScottK, it gets filled in when people notice unlinked packages, and it gets fixed when people complain. that's actually a pretty effective process.10:45
kikofor most packages the information is correct10:45
kikoand given that you've complained for this instance, we're improving accuracy as we speak :)10:46
ScottKI'd have preferred just to be able to remove the wrong information.10:46
ScottKThat would have sucked up a lot less of my time and still been an improvement.10:46
kikoScottK, that's a known bug. blame salgado for not fixing it for 1.1.10! :)10:46
kiko(I had scheduled it)10:46
ScottKOK.  Is it in 1.1.11?10:46
kikoseriously 1.1.10 was tricky because of ubuntu and shipit 10:47
=== kiko looks at salgado
salgadowhat's the bug/spec?10:47
ScottKIn other news, I'm still seeing launchpad janitor closing bugs.  I thought it was stopped?10:47
kikosalgado, deleting packaging?10:48
kikoScottK, it was a crontab typo, fixed again, will be reverted.10:48
ScottKOK.  When is the reversion planned to happen?10:48
ScottKkiko: I also just noticed that the description/home page on https://edge.launchpad.net/pyspf come from an old (Dapper/Edgy) package description.  That's probably part of the error source.10:50
kikoScottK, hmmm. but the ubuntu package has always come from pymilter?10:52
ScottKNo.  The homepage for the project used to be the one listed, but since Feisty it's been pymilter10:53
ScottKThe package has always come from Debian or Pymilter though.10:53
kikookay10:53
kikoso for dapper and edgy it used to be pyspf (standalone) and from Feisty onwards it's packaged from pymilter. is that correct?10:54
ScottKYes.10:55
ScottKSort of10:55
ScottKIt's a separate package within the pymilter project on sourceforge10:56
kikoScottK, all in a single upstream SVN (or CVS) repository?10:57
ScottKYes (cvs).  Pymilter itself is also in Gutsy, FYI.10:58
kikogotcha.10:58
kikothis is interesting and useful; I have a discussion to raise with mark now.10:59
