[21:47] <jdong> bluekuja: hey I noticed transmission 0.93 has a bugfix for a serious issue I've heard reported several times, regarding knocking out router connectivity
[21:47] <jdong> bluekuja: debian is still like 2 versions behind and no activty for 2 weeks; I'm thinking about stepping ahead of them and directly packaging tranny 0.93
[21:47] <bluekuja> jdong, yes, you can start working on it
[21:48] <bluekuja> and maybe ping debian
[21:48] <bluekuja> open a bug
[21:48] <bluekuja> whatever
[21:48] <bluekuja> now you have a good reason to do it
[21:48] <jdong> bluekuja: bug open already regarding 0.92 for 14 days ;-)
[21:48] <bluekuja> e.g serious issue
[21:48] <bluekuja> :)
[21:48] <jdong> figure it's redundant to poke them again
[21:48] <bluekuja> yeo
[21:48] <bluekuja> *yep
[21:48] <bluekuja> prepare an NMU then
[21:49] <bluekuja> and get it sponsored inside delayed
[21:49] <bluekuja> for 7 days
[21:49] <bluekuja> (should be enough)
[21:52] <jdong> bluekuja: hmm nmu's are an unfamiliarity to me....
[21:52] <jdong> bluekuja: shall I just give you a prepared source pkg after I'm done and you deal with the Debian side? ;-)
[21:53] <bluekuja> jdong, yes. Also I think an NMU can be done by an already DD
[21:53] <bluekuja> I read that somewhere in the docs
[21:53] <bluekuja> yesterday
[21:53] <bluekuja> but I'm not *really* sure about that
[21:54] <jdong> bluekuja: are you familiar with what the debian package's dfsg repacking consists of?
[21:54] <bluekuja> jdong, yes
[21:54] <bluekuja> I'm doing the P&P test
[21:54] <bluekuja> atm
[21:55] <bluekuja> so I'm answering to the DFSG and some other policy docs
[21:55] <bluekuja> about that
[21:55] <bluekuja> ^^
[21:55] <jdong> ok, was just wondering what I need to mangle from upstream's orig.tar.gz to make Debian happy
[21:56] <bluekuja> did upstream add some new files?
[21:56] <bluekuja> please do the package
[21:56] <bluekuja> make a dedbdiff
[21:56] <bluekuja> *debdiff
[21:56] <bluekuja> and then decide
[21:56] <bluekuja> what has been added/removed
[21:56] <bluekuja> and then ping me if some new files (non-free, bad licenses) are there
[21:56] <bluekuja> so we can analyze the problem
[21:57] <jdong> bluekuja: oh duh I'm an idiot, there's a watchfile , and rules already details what they removed
[21:57] <jdong> the beos/macos parts are license-ambiguous
[21:58] <bluekuja> fine then
[21:58] <bluekuja> you know what needs to be removed
[21:58] <bluekuja> :)
[21:58] <jdong> :)
[21:59] <bluekuja> ;)
[21:59] <jdong> bluekuja: and ther'es even a README.debian-source file that states in plain english what is removed. sheesh I feel foolish now ;-)
[21:59] <bluekuja> lol
[22:00] <bluekuja> fortunately you found that
[22:00] <bluekuja> better late than never
[22:00] <bluekuja> :)
[22:08] <jdong> bluekuja: dget http://jdong.mit.edu/~jdong/motu/transmission_0.93.dfsg-1.dsc
[22:08] <bluekuja> lol
[22:08] <bluekuja> you did a package in two seconds?
[22:09] <bluekuja> a magician?
[22:09] <jdong> bluekuja: please ignore that last message for 5 minutes ;-)
[22:09] <jdong> bluekuja: one of the dpatches isn't clean :)
[22:09] <jdong> lol I gave you the link and started buildtesting at the same time
[22:10] <bluekuja> lol
[22:14] <jdong> bluekuja: ok, and this time, I'm gonna sit through the build before I embarrass myself :P
[22:14] <bluekuja> :D
[22:16] <jdong> bluekuja: ok *now* dget that URL
[22:17] <jdong> build tested in a gutsy pbuilder
[22:17] <jdong> don't have a sid one handy, so exercise to the sponsor ;-)
[22:17] <bluekuja> ^^
[22:18] <bluekuja> do you want to pull this on Debian or Ubuntu?
[22:18] <jdong> bluekuja: currently it's versioned for Debian, I'm fine with either way
[22:18] <jdong> bluekuja: if we do debian, what do you think the turnaround time would be?
[22:18] <jdong> bluekuja: i.e. I released out a backport of 0.91 to gutsy, remember, that suffers from this router-knockout bug
[22:18] <jdong> :(
[22:19] <bluekuja> jdong, if we want it inside debian you have to build it using unstable (first)
[22:19] <bluekuja> second
[22:19] <bluekuja> waiting 14 days it's not too much
[22:19] <jdong> bluekuja: do you have an unstable pbuilder handy?
[22:19] <bluekuja> for asking an NMU
[22:19] <bluekuja> of course
[22:19] <bluekuja> :)
[22:19] <jdong> yeah 14 days is fine
[22:19] <jdong> if you wanna prepare it as an NMU or however is appropriate, please :)
[22:21] <jdong> I'm starving, so I'm gonna go make dinner :)
[22:21] <bluekuja> ok, I finish my answers
[22:21] <bluekuja> in the meantime
