joejaxx:(00:28
joejaxxi need something to do00:28
LaserJockmerges!!!!00:28
joejaxxlol00:28
* Fujitsu whispers `CVEs'00:28
joejaxxlol00:28
* LaserJock yells merges00:29
joejaxxthere are still merges?00:29
joejaxxlol00:29
LaserJockof course00:29
LaserJockprobably a few hundred00:29
FujitsuOnly about 200.00:30
joejaxx177 :)00:30
joejaxxyeah00:30
Fujitsu+2000:31
LaserJockFujitsu: 20 manual merges?00:32
FujitsuLaserJock: 20 updated merges.00:33
FujitsuDidn't bother to count manuals.00:33
LaserJockah00:33
* TheMuso thinks we should clear outstanding before we even look at updated.00:42
joejaxxlaunchpad has timed out for me a bit too often00:43
* TheMuso still has one merge of his own, but is in close contact with upstream for that package, and is waiting on what they are going to do.00:43
* TheMuso remembers the downtime.00:43
joejaxxit impedes development00:43
joejaxxTheMuso: i mean besides the scheduled downtime :(00:44
TheMusojoejaxx: I know.00:44
TheMusojoejaxx: But you mentioning LP reminded me. I had almost totally forgotten.00:44
joejaxxah ok00:44
LaserJockoh, when is the downtime?00:45
StevenKThe 1.1.11 rollout is today?00:45
StevenKLaserJock: Ponies!00:45
LaserJockStevenK: yeah yea00:45
TheMusoStevenK: Yep.00:45
joejaxxnov 25 3 - 11 utc00:45
StevenK2 and a bit hours00:45
LaserJockyeah00:45
LaserJockwill that affect uploads?00:45
StevenKAnd then it won't be back until 10pm local time00:46
TheMusoLaserJock: I would think so.00:46
LaserJockI've got a big upload to do00:47
LaserJockI'll start it in a minute00:47
LaserJockand hopefully it'll get done in time00:47
Ubuletteanyone able to resync that revu keyring ?00:47
* TheMuso decides to do the sponsors queue.00:48
* StevenK looks at a merge before playing WoW00:49
joejaxxStevenK: you really play WoW ? :)00:49
LaserJockI should try that some time00:50
LaserJockthey have a downloadable demo right?00:50
joejaxxLaserJock: i think so00:50
LaserJockdoes it work in wine?00:50
joejaxxyes00:50
StevenKLaserJock: I have it running fine under wine on amd64, as does ajmitch00:51
LaserJockhmm00:51
StevenKLaserJock: You really want a recent Nvidia card, though00:51
RAOFAnd me, too.00:51
StevenKGobs of RAM helps too00:51
LaserJockah, that wouldn't work for me00:51
joejaxxhttp://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=942900:51
joejaxxi have an intel x310000:51
joejaxxfun stuff :(00:51
LaserJockall I've got is a nvidia 5700 and a 520000:51
StevenKLaserJock: That'd work - something that's supported by -glx-new00:52
LaserJockah, k00:52
StevenKWoW isn't particularly challenging to graphics hardware00:52
LaserJockI was all excited to go to my grandfather's house00:55
LaserJockso I could use his nice cable connection to upload gcompris00:55
LaserJockbut then I forgot to put it on my laptop before I left00:56
joejaxx:(00:56
LaserJockso I'm still stuck uploading it from home00:56
TheMusoLaserJock: How big is the package?00:56
LaserJockoh, about 100MB00:57
StevenKLaserJock: You can download the orig from the Internet, surely?00:58
StevenKLaserJock: And then copy the .dsc/.diff.gz from home?00:58
LaserJockwell, it won't be that big of a difference00:59
LaserJockmy home is 1.5M DSL00:59
LaserJockwith 386K up01:00
LaserJockmy grandpas cable is like 3M but I'm not sure what the upload speed is01:00
StevenKThat can be determined01:00
LaserJockhmm, maybe I should just try it01:01
joejaxxspeedtest.net01:01
joejaxx:)01:01
StevenKLaserJock: My thought is the orig is the big bit, and that can be grabbed from a mirror01:01
* StevenK goes back to trying to find some Vegemite01:01
LaserJockyeah, getting the .orig.tar.gz at like 500kb/s01:02
LaserJockor K/s01:02
* StevenK might have to bring some Vegemite to the next UDS.01:03
TheMusoStevenK: You missed it while you were away?01:04
StevenKTheMuso: Not particularly, I just want to scare the locals01:04
TheMusoStevenK: haha01:04
StevenKCome on Quod, pick a good song01:05
LaserJockdang, grandpa's connection is 12M/s down and 2M/s up01:05
LaserJocka bit faster than my DSL01:05
StevenK"Grandpa .... can I move in?"01:07
LaserJockno cap either01:09
TheMusolol01:09
FujitsuLaserJock: Truly unlimited? Wow.01:09
LaserJockit's comcast, so I don't know what else they are doing to it01:10
FujitsuHaha.01:10
TheMusough01:10
TheMusoGotta love sticking keys.01:10
joejaxxTheMuso: :)01:11
LaserJockbut yeah, it's unlimited01:11
joejaxxLaserJock: are you thinking about playing?01:12
LaserJocksometime maybe01:13
joejaxxok01:13
* TheMuso idly wonders whether the buildds will catch up while launchpad is offline. I suspect not.01:16
FujitsuTheMuso: The world stops when LP is down.01:16
TheMusoFujitsu: Great pitty that.01:17
StevenKTheMuso: No, because the buildd management processes don't run while Launchpad is down - since they need to twiddle with the database.01:17
FujitsuThe buildds have been assimilated into the LP.01:17
FujitsuSo they don't operate.01:17
TheMusoRIght, I knew all that, but just thought there was a remote chance...01:17
LaserJocki would think they would queue up the uploads01:20
FujitsuLaserJock: The queue daemon probably won't be running, so the FTP service won't be running.01:22
StevenKMmmm, butter and Vegemite on toast01:29
* TheMuso likes that, although he swaps the butter for cream cheese.01:30
* Fujitsu likes both.01:30
StevenKI've not tried cream cheese and Vegemite on toast.01:31
TheMusoIts nic.01:31
TheMusonice.01:31
TheMusoI just don't eat butter.01:31
* Fujitsu wonders if we have scared the non-Australians away yet.01:31
* StevenK chuckles01:31
LaserJockok, still uploading at 22 min01:32
FujitsuLaserJock: What is it?01:32
StevenKLaserJock: So, while it's uploading, you can Ponies! Ponies! Ponies! Ponies! Ponies! Ponies!01:32
LaserJockgcompris01:32
joejaxxLaserJock: they have a trial one where you do not have to download the entire game01:32
LaserJockStevenK: not quite so much, extreme lag01:32
joejaxxit streams the map data01:33
frenchyLaserJock: have you got time for a question>01:33
LaserJockfrenchy: perhaps01:33
frenchyLaserJock: I know that there's a lot of LP stuff going on today?01:33
StevenKjoejaxx: After you create an account and so on, I'm guessing?01:33
Fujitsufrenchy: It's going to be down for 8.5 hours.01:33
joejaxxStevenK: yes01:34
Fujitsu(translation schema changes, woo)01:34
frenchyLaserJock: I'll take that as a "maybe".  I was just interested in what the criteria are to get a package into Gutsy.01:34
StevenKAlthough if it makes translation stuff go super fast, I'm all for LP being down for 8 hours01:34
frenchyLaserJock: You declined mine and I was wondering what I need to do next time.01:34
LaserJockfrenchy: well formed, adhears to policy, has accurate and compatible license information01:35
LaserJockfrenchy: I declined yours?01:35
FujitsuStevenK: I have no interest in Rosetta working properly, other than hopefully increased the signal-to-noise ratio on launchpad-users.01:35
Fujitsus/the //01:35
frenchyLaserJock: Well actually you declined the "needs-packaging" for Gutsy ... but I'm not sure what that means https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/128858.01:36
imbrandoni just dont see for the life of me why any webservice has to be down for 8 hours for ANY change01:36
ubotuLaunchpad bug 128858 in ubuntu "[needs-packaging] me-tv" [Wishlist,Confirmed]01:36
StevenKFujitsu: Why not?01:36
frenchyLaserJock: I've already packaged it and sent it to REVU and have actioned everything so far.01:36
FujitsuStevenK: I don't use it.01:37
LaserJockfrenchy: I declined the Gutsy tast01:37
LaserJockfrenchy: because you can't get it into Gutsy01:37
FujitsuNor do I use translations from it.01:37
StevenKI like it since it looks good and means you can translate stuff easily01:37
LaserJock*task01:37
joejaxximbrandon: server migration? :D :P01:37
imbrandonjoejaxx: even then01:37
joejaxximbrandon: i know01:37
joejaxxi am only kidding01:37
joejaxx:)01:37
imbrandonjoejaxx: we have migrated sits to toaly new hardware and had 200k active connections ( a *.microsoft.com site ) with -0- downtime, i'm SURE LP could do the same if planned properly01:38
frenchyLaserJock: I know I can't get it into gutsy now ... I would really, really like to see it in Hardy ... but want to make sure that when it comes time I'm ready.01:38
Fujitsuimbrandon: The Rosetta DB is absolutely massive.01:38
joejaxximbrandon: sure01:38
FujitsuAnd they need huge schema changes.01:38
frenchyLaserJock: I humbly ask for your guidance.01:38
FujitsuThough why they designed it so that they couldn't just take Rosetta down, I'm really not sure.01:38
FujitsuTaking down every service the distro uses is a bad idea.01:39
imbrandonFujitsu: and? i'm thinking more why they dident design it to have a second copy to drop into production and cycle the hardware01:39
Fujitsuimbrandon: They could do that, but the database is writable!01:39
frenchyLaserJock: If you've got the time.01:39
FujitsuThey could clone the staging DB over, but it would overwrite any changes that were made in the intervening 8 hour migration time.;01:40
StevenKimbrandon: At which point you have keep syncing the two copies01:40
imbrandonFujitsu: sure but locking it and ,making the change is what 5 minutes01:40
imbrandonStevenK: sure, modern db's have done that for years01:40
Fujitsuimbrandon: What about the changes in the original since you made the copy?01:40
LaserJockI was told that what is taking a long time is several hundred million row transfers betwen DB tables01:40
FujitsuLaserJock: Right, Rosetta, and lots of.01:40
FujitsuIt's not small.01:40
FujitsuI can accept that it will take an eternity, but not that it has to take the rest of LP with it.01:40
StevenKI suspect they are moving tables, and may have to munge the data on the way past.01:41
LaserJockwahooo! upload done01:41
imbrandoni dont think either is acceptable imho, it can be avoided altogather01:41
LaserJockand it only too half an hour01:41
StevenKFujitsu: But they use the same database ...01:41
frenchyLaserJock: Maybe another time would be better.01:41
FujitsuStevenK: Right, I heard there were gigantic shifts in the data model.01:41
* TheMuso has just knocked two sponsor requests off the queue.01:41
FujitsuStevenK: Right, that's a design flaw.01:41
FujitsuOR at least they shouldn't have to lock the rest of the world.01:41
LaserJockfrenchy: well, I don't have time right now for a full review. I was just cleaning the Gutsy tasks because they don't make any sense01:42
LaserJockfrenchy: what I did in no way means you can't get the packages into Hardy01:42
StevenKI'm unsure if you can block writes to certain tables - or if the web frontend gratefully accepts database failures01:42
StevenKCome on scribus, build quicker01:42
imbrandon:)01:43
StevenKErr, gracefully, as opposed to gratefully. :-)01:43
LaserJockI would think they could have done a lot of it not on the production DB, slip in the new one and just have downtime to deal with the diff01:43
* TheMuso decides to ignore kmos' sponsor request for now...01:43
LaserJockor something similar01:43
FujitsuStevenK: It should have been designed sanely such that they could disable Rosetta on production, take a copy of the DB, migrate it on another host (so as not to kill performance), and replace just the Rosetta tables.01:43
LaserJockFujitsu: yeah, something like that01:44
imbrandonexactly01:44
LaserJockin fact01:44
FujitsuTheir goal is to eventually rule $world, and taking down $world for 8 hours is ridiculous.01:44
LaserJockwe should *at least* get a read-only copy01:44
frenchyLaserJock:  Thanks, I'll continue down my path of uploading to REVU for comments.  Thanks, you've answered the question, essentially.01:44
FujitsuLaserJock: staging.01:44
FujitsuAlthough that's up to 24 hours out of date.01:44
LaserJock*and* it shouldn't kill authentication for wiki and stuff like that01:44
LaserJockseems like, in fact, that they should have separate DBs for different areas01:45
LaserJockso they could leave Malone, etc. up while doing the Rosetta change01:45
LaserJockbut I'm not a DB engineer or anything01:45
FujitsuLaserJock: They're moving to SSO soon, which should mean that it will kill auth on the other LP instances too, if production is down.01:45
imbrandonreally there is no excuse for an 8+ hour downtime anyhow, peroid01:45
imbrandoneven if its everythgin01:45
LaserJockI agree01:46
FujitsuThey need to be in the same PostgreSQL database for foreign keys and the like to work.01:46
StevenKYes, exactly01:46
LaserJockwhen you're running a web service it seems like more than a few minutes downtime is unacceptable for most01:46
FujitsuIt's better than the old couple of hours of downtime every Tuesday.01:46
imbrandonyea anything longer than what it takes to switch a NIC cable is un acceptable01:47
StevenKAnd hanging onto 8 different database handles would suck, make the code more complicated, and then the frontend needs to do heavy lifting, rather than the database.01:47
imbrandonhardware is cheap01:47
FujitsuStevenK: There's nothing to stop them adding the ability to switch various components into readonly mode.01:47
FujitsuOr disabling them entirely.01:47
FujitsuHaving multiple databases would be silly and complicate things, definitely.01:47
FujitsuAt least they don't have to take it down for 8 hours every time they want translations for a new DistroSeries.01:48
FujitsuThey fixed that for Gutsy, IIRC.01:49
LaserJockah well01:51
LaserJockgives us some "real life" time01:51
LaserJockor Ponies time01:51
Fujitsu(or some pony time)01:51
FujitsuDamn, beat me.01:51
StevenKPonies! Ponies! Ponies! Ponies! Ponies! Ponies! Ponies! Ponies!01:51
imbrandongive me time for debian work and ML rants :)01:51
* Fujitsu tests his bzflag merge.01:51
FujitsuLaserJock: You use LaTeX a fair bit, right?01:52
LaserJockFujitsu: some yeah01:55
LaserJockimbrandon: you going for DM?01:56
FujitsuHow do I convince it that I want to unnumber a page?01:56
LaserJockah, one sec01:56
imbrandonLaserJock: yea and then $sometime DD01:57
imbrandonwhy ?01:57
LaserJockimbrandon: I think I'm gonna01:57
imbrandoncool-i-o01:57
LaserJockFujitsu: I know how to reset the numbering, I do think I have one where I take out the numbering altogether01:58
imbrandoni just had dm-allowed-upload: yes , set on the 3 packages i actively maintain, so not all i need to do is get some DD sigs01:58
FujitsuLaserJock: I just want to exclude a specific page (TOC, in this case)01:58
imbrandons/not/now01:58
LaserJockFujitsu: try \thispagestyle{empty}02:00
FujitsuLaserJock: Ah, that looks like it might do it.02:01
* Fujitsu checks.02:01
FujitsuLaserJock: That doesn't actually exclude it from the numbering, unfortuantely. It just hides the number.02:01
LaserJockthen you can reset the count or set it differently by:02:02
FujitsuThat's a good point.02:02
LaserJock\setcounter{page}{1}02:02
LaserJockand instead of 1 set it to whatever you want02:02
FujitsuAh, thanks.02:02
LaserJockthat's what I've got anyway02:03
* Fujitsu wonders who the new Coalition leader will be, with the leader and deputy having resigned in the past 14 hours.02:03
LaserJockok, I need a recomendation for how to get a Broadcom BCM4306 going02:04
TheMusoFujitsu: Did Costello resign?02:05
FujitsuLaserJock: That works. Thanks.02:05
FujitsuTheMuso: 20 or so minutes ago, yeah.02:05
TheMusoFrom the front bench only?02:05
LaserJockFujitsu: is that the elections over there?02:05
FujitsuTheMuso: From politics.02:05
FujitsuLaserJock: We had the federal election last night, right.02:05
FujitsuAnd the opposition won.02:05
LaserJockI saw that Howard lost, but that's about as much as I know about Australian politics02:05
FujitsuBy a looong way.02:06
TheMusoFujitsu: Is benelong still in doubt?02:06
FujitsuTheMuso: Will be for quite some time.02:06
somerville32bddebian, :D02:07
imbrandonok forgive my ignorance but i thought AU was still under brittish rule/monarch , federal election?02:07
TheMusoFujitsu: Yeah I thought as much.02:07
bddebianHeya gang02:07
bddebianHi somerville3202:07
imbrandonheya bddebian02:07
bddebianHeya imbrandon02:08
Fujitsuimbrandon: The British monarch is still in a position of power, though we're very, very largely independent.02:08
FujitsuWe have a prime minister, much like the UK does.02:08
imbrandonFujitsu: ahh ok, just confusion on my part then02:08
LaserJockhuh, I thought AU was fully independent02:08
LaserJockis Canada still a little tied?02:09
imbrandonLaserJock: no , and neither is canada either02:09
FujitsuLaserJock: We're not a republic yet.02:09
* TheMuso hopes that the new government throws thta up on the agenda again.02:09
FujitsuOur top ruler is still the British monarch.02:09
FujitsuTheMuso: Mhm.02:09
TheMusothat02:09
LaserJockFujitsu: can the Queen actually do anything?02:10
FujitsuLaserJock: Hasn't done anything for a long time, but in principle she could.02:10
imbrandonLaserJock: i think its kinda like brittan where she "can" but hasent in many years02:10
FujitsuThe monarch is represented by the attorney general, who.. doesn't really od much.02:11
Fujitsu*do02:12
FujitsuOther than expel a government or two.02:12
LaserJockah, interesting02:12
* imbrandon wishes Di would have been the next queen, i always had a crush on her as a kid , shhhhhh02:12
LaserJockoh my gosh02:12
imbrandonlol02:12
TheMusoFujitsu: s/attorney/governor/02:12
FujitsuTheMuso: Oops, I'm an idiot.02:12
somerville32The reserve powers of the crown are IMMENSE!02:13
somerville32Thats what my Poli Sci teacher would scream at us :/02:13
LaserJockso they have power but basically don't excercise it by tradition?02:15
somerville32Pretty much02:15
somerville32Though they have on occasion02:15
somerville32ie. King-Bing crisis02:15
FujitsuThe only significant thing I know of the Governor-General doing here dismissing Gough Whitlam, the prime minister at that time.02:17
FujitsuGahh, I can't type.02:17
somerville32I love when the Governor-General tells the government how it is :P02:17
imbrandonFujitsu: hrm rember when you said it was done nightly ? have a peek at https://edge.launchpad.net/~imbrandon/+archive before it goes down02:17
imbrandonseems an error to me02:17
Fujitsuimbrandon: That is odd. See what happens after 1.1.11.02:18
imbrandonkk02:18
imbrandonhopefully edge will have the UI to delete by thern02:19
imbrandonthen*02:19
imbrandonheh talking to the same people in 2 or 3 diffrent channels seems "weird" at times , but keeps things on topic i guess ;)02:21
Fujitsuimbrandon: As I'm sure you've noticed, there's a lot of documentation on all this stuff.02:21
imbrandonFujitsu: yea tons02:21
imbrandonhell i dident know you could overide the changelog $dist by uploading to ~<name>/ubuntu/$dist02:22
imbrandonuntill last night02:22
imbrandonso now i have [ppa-$dist] targets in dput.cf :)02:23
LaserJockyeah02:23
LaserJockI should work on the wiki in my spare time02:24
LaserJockI told them they need somebody to work on PPA support/documentation02:24
imbrandoni bet they said "why not you LaserJock?"02:24
imbrandonhehe02:24
LaserJockwell02:25
LaserJockin 6 months or so I'll be available ;-)02:25
Fujitsuimbrandon: That's bug #13764902:25
ubotuLaunchpad bug 137649 in soyuz "Document suite-override feature in PPA" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/13764902:25
imbrandonFujitsu: yea but i dont normaly trall bugs or LP unless soemthing i'm using/workign on is broke :)02:26
imbrandoninfact i found it from a google ( search.ubuntuwire.com ) search that brought up a log of siretart explainging it to someone else02:27
FujitsuHah.02:27
LaserJockyes02:27
imbrandonin an irc log02:27
LaserJockit seems like right now there's a bit of a gap there02:27
LaserJockmrevell doesn't really know a lot about the packaging end, etc.02:27
LaserJockand I don't think cprov likes documentation02:27
imbrandonhehe02:28
LaserJockright now they're like "help us MOTU!!"02:28
LaserJock;-)02:28
imbrandonspeaking of, anyone else tried / use the firefox 2 / IE 7 plugin i made for search.ubuntuwire.com ? i got -0- feedback on it :)02:28
LaserJockimbrandon: is it on serch.uw.c?02:29
LaserJock*search02:29
imbrandonyea, just below the search box02:29
imbrandonthere is a link02:29
somerville32imbrandon, Maybe because it just works? :P02:29
imbrandonsomerville32: possibly but i was just wanting to make sure :)02:29
somerville32I know I installed it02:29
imbrandoneventualy , maybe durring the LP downtime , i will add a FF 1.5 plugin too but for now it only works in FF2 or IE702:30
imbrandonand a javascript to detect browser etc etc etc02:31
LaserJockimbrandon: nifty I like it02:32
imbrandontis just an xml file , but kinda nice02:33
imbrandonwell xml + binary icon blob02:33
imbrandonbut still02:33
LaserJockyou should put some google adsense on the side and get us some money for a nice machine :-)02:33
somerville32lol02:33
imbrandonthere is google adsense ( at the top of certain results , try "wifi" ) but the money goes to google for letting people use the CSE, you can pay $100 a year to remove the ad's or be a non-profit02:34
imbrandonneither of which ubuntuwire is :)(02:34
imbrandonalthough someday i guess uw might need to file for non-profit status etc liek debian SPI(?) so we can take $$ donations easier02:35
imbrandonhonestly i'm not sure whats involved nor if it would be worth it ( espicialy at this stage of uw )02:36
somerville32You hire a lawyer to file papers for you02:36
somerville32And than you have to prove you're non-profit every year02:37
imbrandonhehe yea, thats why as of today i dont accept any $$ / cash , only hardware , and even then its "iffy" i guess i should put that higher on the list of things to look into02:37
somerville32You can still accept donations02:38
somerville32It isn't like they're giving you big bucks02:38
imbrandoni hate business though, i like sticking to sysadmin and webapps :) maybe we can get someone else on the team that likes that kinda thing02:38
imbrandonsomerville32: true, but i still dont just so there is no question about it atm02:39
somerville32I didn't know it was against the law for people to give you stuff :P02:39
somerville32They just can't mark it as a donation to a NPO02:39
imbrandonright02:39
imbrandonoh its not02:39
imbrandonwell not afaik02:39
imbrandonand dunno if its good or bad but people havent been throwing $$ anyhow so i havent had to think about it much :)02:40
somerville32Once I make MOTU, I'll donate02:40
somerville32Wait, that sounds like blackmailing lol02:40
imbrandonbut i would still feel better if it was an org taking the $$ / hardware and not a personal member of the team, not that i would turn anything own really02:40
imbrandonplus companies like HP etc like giving to a org not a person :)02:41
somerville32<g>02:41
Fujitsusomerville32: Hah, so it does.02:41
imbrandonalthough some new HP bladecenters would rock :)02:42
imbrandonhahaha02:42
somerville32It has been almost 3 years since I first started playing with Ubuntu. 1 year since I got involved with contributing. It feels like just yesterday :)02:42
imbrandonyea i started with ubuntu semi close to 3 years ago, i would have to lookup the specific date, sometime just before breezy02:43
Fujitsuimbrandon: Breezy was released slightly over 2 years ago.02:43
imbrandonok somewhere arround there then :)02:44
* Fujitsu arrived about half-way between Warty and Hoary.02:44
somerville32I didn't start contributing until Sept 0602:44
somerville32Just around the time Jono was hired02:44
somerville32I go from Joe Blow users to having phone conferences with Canonical staff - It feels really feed.02:45
somerville32s/feed/weird02:45
imbrandonheh02:45
somerville32Not so much just an online project - Ubuntu is getting pretty mainstream02:45
FujitsuPhone conferences with Canonical staff? Nice.02:45
imbrandonhas been on one or two phone calls with canonical, been a while though :) they must not like me anymore :)02:46
somerville32lol02:46
* Fujitsu is just a mortal02:46
* TheMuso has used ubuntu since warty preview02:46
somerville32I was around when it was ubuntulinux.org02:46
imbrandonheh i hate that domain02:46
lifelessnoname.com :)02:47
somerville32lol02:47
imbrandonlifeless!02:47
Fujitsulifeless: no-name-yet.com, you mean?02:47
FujitsuOr was noname.com earlier?02:47
lifelessFujitsu: bleh, my memory is crap on detail is all02:47
* lifeless goes for lunch02:47
Nafalloubuntulinux.org was around for quite a while though :-)02:48
* somerville32 gets ready for bed.02:48
imbrandonbrb gotta get some dew and smokes from the store02:48
* Fujitsu criticises imbrandon's sleep schedule.02:48
FujitsuYay, no LP in 3 minutes02:58
* somerville32 fears.02:59
* Fujitsu watches the world stop for 8 damn hours.02:59
somerville328 hours is too long : (03:00
Fujitsusomerville32: Correct.03:01
somerville32Why do they need 8 hours?03:02
somerville32Give the monkeys a break?03:02
Fujitsusomerville32: Because they're too integrated and the Rosseta tables are so unbelievably massive it's not conceivable.03:03
Fujitsu*Rosetta03:03
somerville32I'm now a no one since I can't authenticate, :P03:06
FujitsuThe world has stopped.03:07
LaserJockat least the rest of the web universe doesn't authenticate against LP :-)03:09
FujitsuLaserJock: Yet...03:09
LaserJockwhat if you had LP as your openid03:09
FujitsuThat's coming soon.03:09
LaserJockyou'd be screwed03:09
Fujitsu(really RSN, not LP RSN)03:09
minghuaFujitsu: Get away from the computer, go out and have fun. :-)03:09
LaserJockif you that was the only server you had03:09
Fujitsuminghua: Hah. Fun.03:09
LaserJockat least I got gcompris off03:11
FujitsuAh, that beats.03:11
Fujitsu*beast03:11
LaserJocknow I gotta make sure I can make a Gutsy .pot03:11
LaserJockit feels so hackish03:12
* imbrandon returns03:13
imbrandonman its like 30 outside, brrrr03:13
imbrandon30F03:14
LaserJockimbrandon: I'm over in Sacramento, a bit warmer03:14
imbrandoncool hehe, yea i'm ready for warm again in KC03:14
imbrandonwhats in sac ?03:14
LaserJockmy grandpa's house03:15
imbrandonahh03:15
LaserJockwe went over there for Turkey Day03:15
imbrandonmmm an LP openid, i bet someone is working on that03:15
Fujitsuimbrandon: It's almost there.03:17
LaserJockFujitsu: I thought it was for authenticating via openid03:17
imbrandonthey are putting an openid server up?03:17
LaserJocknot necessarily providing openid servers03:17
imbrandonsides Fujitsu how you get all this info? you working for canonical in secret now ? heheh03:17
FujitsuLaserJock: I think it was going to be a server rather than consumer.03:19
LaserJockFujitsu: hmm, the bugs I saw seemed more like being able to auth via an openid03:19
FujitsuHm, perhaps.03:19
* Fujitsu checks staging.03:19
somerville32I hope they do something like that03:19
LaserJockbut it would make sense to have a server for maybe other Ubuntu areas, like forums03:19
FujitsuLaserJock: SSO is also coming soon.03:20
somerville32Than I'd have my servers authenticate against LP for my projects I host on there03:20
LaserJockFujitsu: right03:20
LaserJockimbrandon: Fujitsu spends a lot of time looking at LP bugs and talking to people methinks03:20
imbrandonsomerville32: yea like we try to do with UW03:20
imbrandon:)03:20
somerville32:)03:20
FujitsuThose specs seem to have evaporated from the milestone lists, at least.03:21
LaserJockimbrandon: I know most of what I do because I get all LP bugs03:21
Fujitsumalone-me-too has been deferred again (this time to 1.2.3)...03:21
LaserJockyeah03:21
FujitsuLaserJock: I'd like to get them, but I suppose that's verboten.03:21
somerville32What is _that_?03:21
LaserJockthey must be getting ready for 1.2 soon03:21
somerville32malone-me-too reminds me of tickle-me-elmo03:21
imbrandonlol03:21
LaserJockI haven't seen the milestone dates for a while03:21
FujitsuLaserJock: 1.2 is like 1.1, but for 2008...03:21
Fujitsusomerville32: Haha.03:21
imbrandonFujitsu: another 8 hours downtime ? wtf03:22
FujitsuOh joy, private blueprints coming in 1.2.5...03:22
LaserJockFujitsu: ahh, that's what they're doing03:22
LaserJockFujitsu: as long as they come with a public LP wiki ;-)03:22
FujitsuLaserJock: Hah. Like that's ever going to happen.03:23
somerville32I think wikis for projects would be awesome03:23
FujitsuOooh, a whole lot of api-* specs.03:23
* Fujitsu looks.03:23
LaserJockFujitsu: I know, I know, some people really want it though03:24
FujitsuOh, targetted to 2.0. A couple of years.03:24
LaserJockFujitsu: yeah, they are starting working on API stuff03:24
imbrandonlp development seem so slow03:24
somerville32LP is still up?03:24
FujitsuLaserJock: Fiiinaly.03:24
Fujitsusomerville32: No.03:24
Fujitsusomerville32: I'm using staging to view.03:24
jonohey all03:26
somerville32Hey Jono03:26
jonoheya som03:26
jonoheya somerville3203:26
jono:)03:27
imbrandonello jono03:27
jonohey imbrandon03:27
somerville32jono, Only 3hrs of sleep?03:27
* jono can't sleep :(03:27
jonodamn flu03:27
imbrandonzomg, MPAA is using xubuntu as a base for their "anti P2P" tools, as in already done, not vaporware03:27
* somerville32 nods.03:27
LaserJockimbrandon: ?03:27
imbrandonhttp://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2007/11/mpaa_university_toolkit_opens_1.html?nav=rss_blog03:27
somerville32hehe03:28
somerville32I love the comments03:28
imbrandonLaserJock: look at the screenshots of it booting, xubuntu usplash03:28
LaserJockjono: might as well go back to sleep, LP is down forever :-)03:28
Fujitsuimbrandon: I saw that. how evil.03:28
jonoahhh yes, the downtime03:28
somerville32~"It says on the get Xubuntu page that they don't have shipit because of lack of funding. Maybe the MPAA will donate money to send Xubuntu to people who need it"~03:28
imbrandonlol03:29
LaserJockjono: our world has collapsed for the next 8hrs ;-)03:29
jonoLaserJock: I am sure we survive :) just make sure you stock up on bread and milk :)03:29
imbrandonyea i'm kinda pissy about that having worked for some large web firms , 8 hours of downtime if ludicris03:29
Fujitsuimbrandon: Particularly given the number of projects that LP is meant to support.03:30
somerville32Don't forget the cookies.03:30
jonoimbrandon: unavoidable it seems03:30
FujitsuIf I were to break the work web app for more than half an hour, I would be murdered.03:30
jonoI think you should all forward your concerns to the LP team :)03:31
jonolet them know03:31
imbrandonjono: well unavoidable with the current implmentation, its totaly avoidable, in previous lives i have migrated *.microsoft.com sites to whole new platforms and db backends etc in less than 30 minutes downtime03:31
jono8 hours is indeed a *long* time03:31
imbrandonwith 200k active connections03:31
* jono blows his nose03:31
imbrandonhehe03:31
LaserJockbah03:32
LaserJockanybody know carlos' email address? I can't get it off of LP03:32
* imbrandon stops bitching on irc, atleaste if i'm gonna bitch i might as well make it usefull , e.g. to the correct people :)03:32
jonoimbrandon: my thoughts precisely03:32
jonoI am not the right person unfortunately03:32
jono(although fortunately for me)  :)03:32
somerville32hehe03:32
imbrandonhehe yea, LaserJock tried staging.lp ?03:32
LaserJockimbrandon: yeah03:33
imbrandoncarlos who?03:33
LaserJockit won't open up the portlet for me03:33
somerville32Does staging redirect you to edge too?03:33
Fujitsuimbrandon: Perello Marin.03:33
imbrandongoogle cache might have it03:33
Fujitsusomerville32: No.03:33
LaserJockthe translations guy03:33
imbrandonLaserJock: Packages overview for Carlos Perelló Marín <carlos@pemas.net>03:34
imbrandonthat it?03:34
desertcLaunchpad is down?03:35
desertc"Do not want!"03:35
imbrandondesertc: yea for 8 hours, scheduled03:35
LaserJockimbrandon: I found his @canonical.com from an old email03:35
imbrandonahh ok, i gleend that from debian03:35
FujitsuI can has LP?03:36
somerville32Is there usually no chanserv in here?03:37
Fujitsusomerville32: Hm, I thought there was.03:38
imbrandonsomerville32: not normaly on any channels iirc03:38
imbrandon( on freenode )03:38
FujitsuI think you have to set the flag manually.03:38
imbrandonbut you can use it , e.g. /msg chanserv <cmd> #ubutnu-motu , etc03:38
desertcpersia: ping03:39
desertcpersia: The UQM package installation in Gutsy works great with the addon modules.  Thanks for your work on that - got that one down perfect.03:40
=== DarkMageZ_ is now known as DarkMageZ
imbrandonok dumb question, but what is the astrisk by the apt-mirror package on http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=brandon@imbrandon.com mean ?03:41
Fujitsuimbrandon: Possibly means it has a comaintainer.03:42
imbrandonahh right, one was just added , ok03:43
FujitsuWhat benefits does apt-mirror hold over debmirror, other than the Gutsy version not eating mirrors?03:43
imbrandonhonestly i have never looked, will debmirror let you mirror other arches ?03:43
DarkMageZimbrandon, where can i find a copy of the diff.gz for libvisual-plugins -2 ? the mirrors haven't synced yet.03:43
FujitsuIt will.03:44
LaserJockimbrandon: if you click on the Help at the top of that page it tells you all that03:44
FujitsuDarkMageZ: Check LP.03:44
FujitsuHm, I wonder if librarian is alive.03:44
DarkMageZi'm talking about debian.03:44
LaserJockFujitsu: probably not03:44
FujitsuDarkMageZ: Check incoming.debian.org03:44
imbrandonDarkMageZ: i can upload a copy to my people.uw.com site, but it should be a streight sync, i incorperated all ubuntu changes + some more03:44
* jono feels tired03:45
imbrandonDarkMageZ: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libv/libvisual-plugins/ has it03:46
DarkMageZyay03:46
minghuaYeah, just find a first-tier mirror.03:46
LaserJockalrighty, gcompris done03:46
imbrandonbut as i said, as soon as LP is up i was gonna request a sync, all ubuntu changes should be in place03:46
imbrandonDarkMageZ: ^^03:46
somerville32LaserJock, I confirmed that bug was fixed. Did you see that?03:46
somerville32LaserJock, (The one you asked me to check)03:47
imbrandonDarkMageZ: dosent look like all arches have built it yet, but the main ones have03:48
imbrandonand before i uploaded to debian i checked that it would build in hardy ( same with libvisual )03:48
LaserJocksomerville32: yeah, the one about the Xfce4 panel?03:49
somerville32aye03:49
LaserJockyeah, thanks for that03:49
mdomschwhat's the package that maintains the pool hierarchy?  like apt-ftparchive, but presumably not.03:51
Fujitsumdomsch: For Debian, it's dak. For Ubuntu... it's apt-ftparchive, run by Soyuz.03:51
imbrandonmdomsch: yea depends on the dist, and lots of indivuals use falcon ( wont scale to large distros though afaik )03:52
mdomschoh, interesting - so apt-ftparchive can be used to manage the tree as a pool03:52
imbrandons/falcon/falcon203:52
mdomschI'm going to have a ton of arch independent, distro independent (debian/ubuntu), and distro version independent packages03:52
imbrandondocs? images? hehe03:53
mdomschwhich are simple packages with just a couple files - system BIOS images03:53
mdomschwhich right now I copy into a tree and hardlink the whole tree03:53
imbrandonmdomsch: i would look into falcon, it scales well if there is only one uploader03:53
mdomschimbrandon, will do, thanks03:54
imbrandonmdomsch: http://mirror2.ubuntulinux.nl/dists/feisty-seveas/all/   ( first package )03:56
DarkMageZimbrandon, you might be interested in checking out LP #159691. once launchpad comes back online.03:56
LaserJockhmm, I suppose I should put PPA 101 on my calendar03:57
imbrandonDarkMageZ: i'll try to peek at staging , whats it about ?03:57
DarkMageZimbrandon, it's a visualization addition patch for libvisual-plugins.03:58
imbrandonahh ok03:58
DarkMageZcontains visualizations that Accidentally didn't make it into the official release03:59
imbrandonhrm not the g-force one right ?03:59
DarkMageZimbrandon, not g-force. that was stripped out by debian.04:00
imbrandonright, ahh cool04:00
imbrandoni'm preparing -3 for upload now ( misc lintian and linda fixes ) think you could re-debdiff against -2 ?04:01
imbrandonit will give me something to do while LP is down04:01
imbrandonyea that 90_reconf was a monster04:01
DarkMageZimbrandon, i'm sorry about 90_reconf... someone else touched that in a bad way.04:02
imbrandonheh04:03
imbrandonhttps://bugs.staging.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvisual-plugins/+bug/15969104:04
imbrandonerr04:04
DarkMageZimbrandon, the correctly messed up version of 90_reconf is 653.1KB04:04
minghuaWhat is the difference between staging.LP and edge.LP?04:05
imbrandonyea i just cant grab the debdiff right now because libraryian seems to be down too04:05
* somerville32 breaks out the rootbeer.04:06
imbrandonminghua: staging is a snapshot of the old db ( 24 hours ago ), edge is the newer UI working with live data04:06
imbrandonDarkMageZ: if you can post that debdiff elsewhere i'll start working on getting it in now04:07
minghuaimbrandon: What is the purpose of staging then?04:07
somerville32minghua, To play around :P04:07
DarkMageZimbrandon, i'm working on decreasing the size of it dramatically. i'm splitting xmms-goom into multiple different packages so i can build against it04:07
imbrandonminghua: so you can totaly fubar data etc and have no problems04:08
imbrandonDarkMageZ: that wont help me in debian atm though :)04:08
imbrandonthe old way would be better for debian untill its split there also04:08
minghuaWell, I would think just doing backups of the db data is enough.  But I'm not going to complain.04:09
DarkMageZimbrandon, http://mirror.randumb.org/darkmagez/debdiff.tar.gz i thinks04:11
somerville32Are there actual people working on Launchpad for the next 8 hours or is it automatic?04:12
imbrandonhrm i get a server not found04:12
imbrandonsomerville32: actual people afaik04:12
* somerville32 was about to ask who would work at this hour but then stops himself.04:16
DarkMageZimbrandon, appears to be working here. maybe dns issue04:19
imbrandonyea i'm using open dns04:20

RAOFimbrandon: You were after me last night?04:22
imbrandonRAOF: yea i have no idea why though, short memory04:23
RAOFHeh04:23
LaserJockbazaar.launchpad.net seems to still work04:24
somerville32Why wouldn't it?04:25
LaserJockcause everything else is down04:26
imbrandonDarkMageZ: i grabed it from another connection, something about my comcast was sucking04:26
LaserJockI can't upload, can authenticate, etc.04:26
somerville32LaserJock, But bazaar is just transferring files04:26
somerville32Oh right04:26
somerville32Can you push?04:27
LaserJocknot sure04:27
LaserJockbut I can pull04:27
somerville32Well, it doesn't authenticate to pull04:27
somerville32I don't think04:27
somerville32Unless you use the bzr+sftp handle04:27
LaserJockwell sure, I'm just suprised anything with .launchpad.net works ;-)04:27
somerville32lol04:28
imbrandonDarkMageZ: i dont seem to see a copyright in any of those new groom files04:29
imbrandonwhere did you get them from04:29
DarkMageZsame licence as libvisual. taken from libvisual cvs tag 0.4.0 branch.04:30
imbrandonk04:30
persiadesertc: you're imagining things: it uses uio_MOUNT_TOP instead of uio_MOUNT_ABOVE, so per-user mods are broken: will be fixed in hardy04:45
imbrandonDarkMageZ: 244K    libvisual-plugins_0.4.0.dfsg.1-3.diff.gz04:46
persia\sh: I was only counting packages that depend on libao and didn't also depend on something else useful (e.g. libasound)04:46
imbrandonwith yours and my changes applied04:46
DarkMageZimbrandon, ah sweet.04:47
imbrandoni got a few other minor things to do then i'll get someone to upload it , man i really need to go though NM :)04:48
DarkMageZimbrandon, i've also split xmms-goom into the library & -dev & xmms-goom. maybe if this was pushed into debian then i could cull back the size of that diff.gz even further05:10
imbrandonDarkMageZ: is it already like that in the ubuntu archive or you dont have it uploaded yet?05:11
DarkMageZimbrandon, not uploaded yet.05:11
imbrandonyea i would sugest contacting the xmms dev and getting it pushed to debian, less merges05:11
imbrandonerr xmms-goom maint, not xmms dev05:12
LucidFoxHow do I make pbuilder build packages depending on Sun's Java?05:15
LucidFoxit says "sun-dlj-v1-1 license could not be presented"05:15
LaserJocknot sure05:17
imbrandoniirc there isnt really a way, thats what jdong ran into with azureus05:18
LaserJockyeah05:18
LaserJockI borrowed the debconf from sun's packages once05:18
LaserJockand the point is that it won't proceed unless the license is agreed to05:19
imbrandonhrm could that be our anwser to adding things to multiverse? e.g. require a debconf like sun-java , effectively making it "click thorugh" as persia sugests ?05:21
imbrandon"this package might not be legal in your country , please check before installing ......" etc05:22
LaserJockwell, that would make it hard for packages that build on other multiverse packages05:22
LaserJockbut yeah05:22
imbrandonhrm true05:22
imbrandonmaybe ...... hrm05:22
LaserJockif we had a multiverse mplayer for instance05:23
imbrandonwell what about using the -phigh -plow etc to show it when installing but not when building against it05:23
LucidFoxso, what should I do if I want to test-build a package from Debian build-depending on sun-java6-sdk?05:23
imbrandonLucidFox: good question :)05:24
LucidFoxand most importantly, will the build servers be able to build it after syncing?05:25
minghuaTest-build should be easy, you can always install the build-depends manually.05:25
imbrandonno05:25
LaserJockLucidFox: I doubt it05:25
LaserJockLucidFox: could you use IcedTea perhaps?05:25
imbrandonhrm i might draft a letter to -devel about this LaserJock , i think it might be a bit of work but a win win if we can use the priority correctly05:25
imbrandonyea icetea might be the better choice for ubuntu in this instance05:26
imbrandonpersia: ping , i just had an idea about the multiverse thing i bounced off LaserJock and thought about sending to devel for more disscussion ..... lemme pastbin05:26
* persia laments having purchased the wrong sort of video hardware05:27
minghuaAnybody got icedtea working?05:27
* minghua should try it.05:27
somerville32Persia :)05:27
imbrandonpersia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/2204/05:27
jdongminghua: amd64 is a trainwreck, i386 icedtea runs pretty decently05:28
imbrandonpersia: intel ? hehe05:28
persiaminghua: From the Azureus reports, it does pretty well05:28
jdongminghua: definitely more success for me than GCJ stacks05:28
persiaimbrandon: nVidia: there's a bug, and I know exactly where it is, and I can't fix it.05:28
imbrandonheh, ok what do you think about that pastebin comment05:28
minghuaHmm, good.  Can I try in gutsy?  Or only the one in hardy works?05:28
jdongminghua: gutsy one works fine05:29
minghuajdong: Thanks.05:29
jdongsure thing05:30
jdongnow, this sleep thing for airport day tomorrow05:30
persiaimbrandon: I don't like click-through.  I'm in favor of pure wrappers or actual source, but even click-through would be better than what we have now.05:30
jdongbut first a bit more gtkpod hacking with this shiny iPod Touch :)05:30
jcastrohey jdong, congrats on motu05:30
jdongjcastro: thanks!05:30
jcastrojdong: you're from my area in -mi aren't you?05:30
jdongjcastro: indeed :)05:30
jcastrojdong: you coming home for xmas?05:30
imbrandonpersia: yea i'm more talking about still allowing the stuff we have and the sources.list we have but making it "better"05:30
persiaHowever, as was pointed out: check with the buildd admins: until we have a sensible way to handle bootstrapping multiverse build-depends, we do better with binary blobs (as much as I dislike them)05:30
jcastroyou're at mit iirc05:31
jdongjcastro: yeah most likely05:31
jcastrojdong: let me know, we should have an ubuntu-mi get together05:31
jcastroplus we still gotta sign keys05:31
jcastroit's been on my todo since like, you started backports05:31
imbrandonjcastro: when are you bringing your rear to the midwest ?05:31
persiaimbrandon: Erm.  I'm not sure click-through is better.  People don't read those.  I'd prefer disabled by default.05:31
jcastroimbrandon: midwest is over here dude, not where you live. :D05:32
imbrandonpersia: yea but i think this might be a good middle ground05:32
jcastroimbrandon: come to penguicon or ohiolinux05:32
persiaAlso the licenses on different packages are different.  Some you cannot use in some places, some you cannot use for some purposes, some you just can't edit the source.05:32
imbrandonjcastro: hehe ok "mid" :)05:32
jcastroimbrandon: jono is coming to penguicon, and so is dibona and leslie from google. If you make your way over, you can stay at my place05:32
imbrandonpersia: right , but it could be a requirement to present those restrictinos to be accepted into multiverse05:33
imbrandoninstead of the choice we have now of all or none05:33
persiaimbrandon: Ah, you mean do something where we abstract debian/copyright into some user-visible tool?05:33
somerville32Night05:33
imbrandonjcastro: yea if i could crash with you i would be HIGHLY more likely to be able to make it05:33
imbrandonpersia: right, via debconf05:34
jcastroimbrandon: I live like 2 miles from there, hell yeah dude.05:34
persiaAs I'd prefer to avoid tweaking packages if possible, as I like to sync from Debian, I think the way to do this is to have the package managers pull it for confirmation.05:34
imbrandonfood + beer + travel isnt that bad, its the hotels that kill me05:34
imbrandonohhh leslie is comming too ? hehe i just talked to her today in email LOL05:35
persiaReasoning being that everything in multiverse needs checking, but I don't feel like writing a debconf wrapper for each one, especially when a new release opens.05:35
imbrandonpersia: hrm very true, one patch to dpkg / apt would be much better than 100's of patches to maintain05:36
imbrandon( assuming debian doesnt take it for non-free too )05:36
persiaimbrandon: I don't know that it belongs at that low a level.  Maybe just adding a hook like apt-listchanges that does apt-showcopyright iff in multiverse, and making sure there are working frontends for all the GUIs.05:36
imbrandonand would have the added bonus of being able to be overidden by the buildd / pbuilder05:37
persiaThen, we install apt-showmultiversecopyright by default, and we get a win, with minimal variation from Debian.05:37
persiaimbrandon: Exactly, as the buildd wouldn't have apt-showmultiversecopyright installed.05:37
imbrandonsounds good, why dident we think about this the other day hehe05:38
persiaimbrandon: The key is that today we're talking about everything, and the other day I was in a fever about binary blobs.05:38
imbrandonahh :)05:38
LaserJockso I'm not really sure what the proposal is05:38
LaserJockpersia: dude, we have so many binary blobs05:39
LaserJock:-)05:39
LaserJocksadly I contributed one05:39
persiaLaserJock: Not that many, surely...05:39
LaserJockalthough I don't understand why it's not in -partner05:39
* persia agrees with Laserjock05:39
LaserJockthe one I did desktop-multiplier05:40
LaserJockis only in Multiverse because they made a deal with Canonical05:40
LaserJockso I would have thought it would go to -partner05:40
imbrandonpersia: ok i'd like to get this idea to -devel ML, you want to type it up as you are much better expressing ideas cohearently , or would you rather me05:40
persiaThe definitely belongs in -partner05:40
LaserJockbut I did it for dapper and -commercial wasn't well set up at that time I don't think05:40
LaserJockI got it in NEW in dapper-updates ;-)05:40
LaserJockwhat a kludge05:40
minghuaNEW source in -updates?  Ewww.05:41
LaserJockyep05:41
imbrandonwow05:41
persiaimbrandon: I'm a good editor and a decent critic, but a poor originator of ideas.  If you want to put together a draft, I'd be happy to poke it.  Further I think this should be a Spec rather than a ML post, but we're currently without an authentication DB.05:41
LaserJocka NEW binary package in an LTS -updates :-)05:42
LaserJock*binary blob05:42
imbrandonpersia: true a spec might be a better place for this, how about i draft it as a spec then we'll send a RFC to the ML when we like it05:42
persiaThat'd just bad: clearly belongs in -commercial (-partner didn't exist for Dapper)05:42
persiaimbrandon: That sounds ideal.  Put something together, throw it on the wiki when the auth DB is up again, poke me and I'll add some flesh, and we can send an RFC to the ML.05:43
imbrandonkk05:43
imbrandonhelps that i think we have both extreams working on the spec :)05:44
imbrandonlol05:44
persiaThat's the point of collaboration :)05:44
LaserJockpersia: heh, you shoulda seen what happened when I uploaded a new version to gutsy05:45
LaserJockit had to go through NEW again :-)05:45
LaserJockcause it'd never been in a release pocket05:45
LaserJocktook me a minute to figure that one out05:45
imbrandonso wtf is desktop-multiplier anyhow?05:45
persiaOh my.  That's just further evidence that -updates wasn't the right place.05:45
imbrandoni woudl think from the name we already have virtual desktops and the compiz cube05:46
imbrandonhehe05:47
LaserJockno05:47
LaserJockit's a multiseat X05:47
imbrandonahh05:47
LaserJockBurgundiva's old company made it05:48
LaserJockso the package I did was for their trial version05:48
imbrandoni was thinking it sounded familiar05:48
LaserJockbut heah, it gave me enough money to get my passport for UDS-Paris05:48
imbrandonheh05:49
LaserJockin fact, that reminds me05:50
LaserJockthey sent me a new version to upload :/05:50
LaserJockcourse I can't upload it tonight05:50
LaserJockdarn, I need some more Golden Pony ideas05:51

jdongthe web browser realy surprised me as to how well it works06:01
RAOFSkype on a touch?  Sounds cool!06:01

Fujitsujdong: For a few more hours yet...06:03
Fujitsupersia, imbrandon: As far as I know, you can't legally work around the Java EULA, even on buildds...06:06
persiaFujitsu: Two different things:06:06
imbrandonFujitsu: yea this was more an idea "for everything else in multiverse"06:06
persia1) We're just talking about exposing a EULA for everything in multiverse06:06
persia2) Once the EULA is accepted, the same user can keep downloading Sun Java as much as they want: that just requires someone to set up the chroot with the right preseed, and to actually mean it when they set the flags.06:07
FujitsuOr we could just build things with IcedTea.06:07
* persia prefers IcedTea06:08
persiaActually, wasn't IcedTea merging back as "official" openJava reached a release?06:08
FujitsuIcedTea is only temporary, right.06:09
FujitsuHm, I see that PPA is being released wiht 1.1.11.06:09
TheMusoFujitsu: WHat do you mean exactly?06:09
TheMusoWe already have PPA.06:10
FujitsuTheMuso: But you currently have to be in Launchpad Beta Testers.06:10
imbrandonTheMuso: only for Beta members06:10
persiaDon't we currently just have PPA for beta & ~ubuntu-dev?06:10
TheMusoOh06:10
LaserJockit was a Public Beta06:10
Fujitsupersia: Just beta, as far as I know.06:11
TheMusoDoes that also mean we can delete packages?06:11
persiaFujitsu: No, I have PPA on production.06:11
LaserJockwe can ask to have packages deleted06:11
TheMusoLaserJock: thats not the same06:11
LaserJockno, but it's better than "no, not at all"06:11
FujitsuLaserJock: Did you convince them to allow ~ubuntu-dev too?06:11
TheMusoTrue.06:11
LaserJockFujitsu: I actually can't remember06:12
LaserJockI thought it was just beta-testers but it's entirely possible that ~ubuntu-dev got it too06:12
imbrandonso what time is it supose to be back?06:12
imbrandon+5 hours ?06:13
jcastroit's like a 5 hour deal06:13

imbrandone.g. thanksgiving06:15
imbrandon:)06:15
jcastroimbrandon: this is why they made bzr, so that when launchpad is down you can still get work done06:15
imbrandoni've had enough of RL for a few :)06:15
calcjcastro: though you can't see any bug reports06:16
imbrandonjcastro: hahah most of my bzr is LP hosted :)06:16
jcastrocalc: that way you aren't distracted!06:16
calcit also takes the wiki down effectively :-\06:16
jcastroimbrandon: local commits, for the win06:16
LaserJockimbrandon: you can still pull from LP though06:16
imbrandontrue06:16
LaserJockwe just need Malone in bzr ;-)06:16
imbrandoni'd rather just hack wordpress :)06:17
imbrandoni was suprised to see dak is maintained in bzr today :)06:17
FujitsuHmm, I do need to do those 42 damn wordpress CVEs at some point.06:17
imbrandon42!!06:17
LaserJockimbrandon: it's web software!06:18
imbrandonheh yea, i've never really seen the point of packageing webapps, but hey, to each their own06:19
imbrandonyou know its sad when ubuntu supports my usb wireless dongle better than OSX or Windows; s/sad/great/g06:20
imbrandoni guess the forums are still up, we could trall there for bugs :)06:21
imbrandonheh06:21
LaserJockimbrandon: I see the point of packaging webapps, but they are difficult to maintain06:22
LaserJockI like just browsing the repos for web apps to install06:23
persiaI don't see how they are any more difficult to maintain than any other server applications.  Less well written maybe, but...06:23
LaserJockwell, things like wordpress are so trivial to download06:23
persiaMaybe, but then the user has to maintain it: centralised maintenance means more hack time for everyone06:24
LaserJockyep06:24
LaserJockif we're constantly behind though (and webapps seem to release fairly fast in general) our packages are less useful06:25
persiaMaybe: as with other apps, it's a matter of having a good upstream, stable releases, etc.06:26
FujitsuWebapps have things such as PHP to curse them easily.06:26
imbrandon<3 PHP06:27

superm1Amaranth, i did08:09
Amaranthsuperm1: you got the iPod Touch to work with linux without jailbreaking it?08:10
superm1Amaranth, no not without jailbreaking.08:10
Amaranthyeah08:10
Amaranththat's the catch :P08:10
superm1Amaranth, but I've got packages for gutsy to support it after the jailbreak.  libgpod needs a newer version08:10
superm1and same with gtkpoda08:10
superm1and same with gtkpod needs to be built against08:10
Amaranthyeah, i know08:10
superm1they're all on a ppa though08:10
superm1and a package i pushed to hardy and the PPA for mounting and unmounting it properly08:11
Amaranththere is some windows software that lets you use it to store regular files08:11
superm1with artwork and stuff08:11
Amaranthhoping i can snoop it's traffic to figure things out08:11
superm1well i suspect it uses apple's driver for it08:11
Amaranthapple doesn't let you put arbitrary files on it08:11
superm1but i mean they use apple's driver hooks08:12
superm1to manage such actions08:12
AmaranthApple offers such a thing?08:12
superm1well i wouldn't say "offer"08:12
Amaranthhehe08:12
superm1but i'd bet the functionality was available in the driver08:12
Amarantheither way, something non-iTunes should be interesting to snoop08:13
superm1just not exposed to itunes08:13
superm1yeah08:13
Amaranthtrying to snoop a zune under windows isn't even possible08:13
Amaranthbeen playing with that too :P08:13
superm1why don't you want to jailbreak your touch?08:13
Amaranthit's jailbroken but that's not an end-user solution08:13
superm1yeah08:13
superm1Amaranth, do you hang out in #gtkpod or similar?  I bet those folks are in the same boat, maybe want to check what progress they've made08:15
superm1before jumping in yourself08:15
Amaranthyeah, i'm in there now08:15
Amaranthand in #banshee on gimpnet, those seem to be the places to be08:15
Amaranthi want to figure something out before popping in and being annoying though :P08:15
superm1hehe08:16
superm1well i'll join you in #gtkpod, i'll be interested to see what comes of this too.  I can't be of too much help though as i dont have a windows box at all08:16
AmaranthNeither do I08:17
AmaranthOr an iPod Touch :P08:17
Amaranthjtbl does though, he's in the same city as me08:17
superm1Amaranth, well i've got one, and i'll be glad to help test anything that comes around08:28
superm1just ping me if i dont catch it come around08:28
Amaranthalright08:28
imbrandonsuperm1: can you "unjailbreak" it ?08:28
superm1imbrandon, i've got a buddy with a mac that can reflash it08:29
superm1if need be08:29
imbrandonright, i was just wondering if it was like ipod linux where it could be reflashed08:29
superm1well the way jailbreaking works, you still use the original firmware08:29
superm1it just exploits a tiff vulnerability to let you add stuff to the filesystem08:30
imbrandonheh sounds like xbox classic :)08:30
superm1yeah08:30
superm1the vulnerability is fixed in the newer firmware though, so you need to downgrade (which they let you do still in iTunes)08:30
superm1and then exploit, and then upgrade again08:31
Fujitsusuperm1: Aw, they haven't found a new one yet?08:31
superm1not as far as i heard08:31
superm1i just got my touch a few days ago, and that's the process I went through08:31
FujitsuWhat stuff is there available for them now?08:32
superm1all the iPhone apps, gameboy adv emulator, nes emulator, openssh, apache, tcl/tk, perl, python, ruby, squid, lots of theme customization08:33
superm1a bunch of quick hack games08:33
imbrandoni heard that audio recording was almost working thus skype :)08:33
superm1well you need skype for arm first08:33
FujitsuHah, run a proxy in your pocket..08:33
persiaThere are plenty of good SIP clients :)08:34
superm1i think running a web server in your pocket is more bragging rights08:34
FujitsuProbably.08:34
superm1oh and there is an aim/jabber client, and IRC client too08:34
* persia has never found a webserver in once pocket to be useful08:34
FujitsuAh, good.08:34
imbrandonwell it might be good for interacting with stored data on the ipod , like phpmyadmin or similar08:35
imbrandonor serving mp3 via http :)08:35
persiaimbrandon: Maybe, but it's slow.  Better to use a local admin thing.08:35
superm1there are a whole lot of other small apps for doing useful things too, i was pretty surprised when i looked at the repository for it08:36
imbrandonpersia: hehe true but my dual 75mhz arm ipod nano has a webserver for serving mp3's and a mpd :)08:36
imbrandonslow but usefull08:37
Fujitsu<3 mpd08:37
persiaimbrandon: Sure, but do you ever use it for that?  I runa SMB server in my pocket, and find that useful, but http just seems useless.08:37
imbrandonheh well considering i do 90% or more of my code in php, web just seems a natuaral gateway to me08:38
* TheMuso pricks up his ears at the mention of mpd.08:38
FujitsuMy only issue with it is that which Joey Hess mentioned earlier: the playlist system.08:39
TheMusoFujitsu: What issue is that exactly? I am not aware of that.08:39
imbrandonpersia: plus docking while out at a friends might not be possible08:39
imbrandonbut 802.11 + http is08:40
FujitsuIt can be fairly limiting at times, compared to other players which can play either randomly from the library, or a playlist.08:40
TheMusoFujitsu: Ah right.08:40
* persia just uses SMB, but yes...08:40
TheMusoIt would be nice if mpd supported playing from the library, without needing a playlist.08:40
TheMusoIMO mpd should also break out its input/output support into modules.08:40
FujitsuTheMuso: Right, that is the main problem.08:41
FujitsuThough the modularity would be good.08:41
TheMusoYeah.08:41
imbrandonheh irc on the touch08:43
TheMusoAh yes, just read Planet Debian and saw the blog post re mpd.08:44

persianxvl: To make sure I get the same state, I usually start a fresh chroot (schroot -c distname and pbuilder --login are typical ways to do this), install the build-deps, and run debuild from the package directory.  This way, all the patches get applied, and all the previous build steps have occurred when the investigation begins.12:20

frenchyHi persia: When I'm building for gutsy and I've made a change to the source that bumps up the upstream version number ... and ... I want to repackage it ... if I simply update the version in the debian/changelog ... what do I put for the comment?13:55
frenchyThanks in advance.13:55
persia:)13:55
frenchypersia: Have I missed something?13:55
persiafrenchy: You'll want to ask your questions generally, as other people may have better answers, or just be more bored :)13:56
frenchyTa.13:56
persiaMy opinion is that you'd want to use * New Upstream Version in your debian/changelog13:56
frenchyAnyone please ...13:56
persiaIf there are significant fixes, follow this by a couple indented lines starting with '-': this is especially important when closing LP bugs.13:57
frenchypersia: Ok so you're saying that it does seem like an Escher puzzle to you also.13:57
james_walthough you may want to explain why a new upstream version is necessary if this isn't just a local package or backport or similar.13:57
frenchypersia: Yep ... down with the Closes: # ...13:57
persiajames_w: It's an Ubuntu local package.13:57
persiaLastly, if there are packaging changes to go along with the upstream changes, note these separately in the changelog.13:58
frenchypersia: Sure ... but because I'm this developer/upstream/maintainer beast ... I fixed all the issues already ... :) ... but I bet you already saw that this is my issue.14:00
frenchyi.e. I competely understand you last.14:00
frenchys/you/your/14:00
AmaranthIt's no fun being the upstream and the packager14:02
AmaranthYou fix things upstream then have to fix them in patch form in the package instead of just giving people the new upstream14:02
frenchyHi Amaranth: I just figured it was the common thing.14:03
Ubulettehi, let's see if revu likes me better today...14:03
persiaAmaranth: Why can't you just pass the new upstream for a while (at least until FeatureFreeze)?14:03
persiaUbulette: It ought, although it may have become confused because of the extended LP outage.14:04
Amaranthpersia: Sure but I'm talking about after UVF14:04
Ubulettecould I push the exact same thing that got rejected yesterday ?14:04
persiaAh..  I forgot.  I'm late!14:04
Amaranthpersia: or after release14:04

UbuletteI've just resent the exact same files14:07
HobbseeUbulette: it still wont help you - the keysync isnt automatic14:07
Ubuletteeh? in the wiki, it says it is14:08
* Hobbsee resyncs the keyring14:08
Hobbseeit changed.  it doesnt appear to be now14:08
persiaUbulette: It is sometimes automatic.  Just now it's between automated states.14:08
Ubulettehmm14:08
Hobbseepersia: i couldn't find it in the cron stuff, when i last checked.14:09
Hobbseepersia: afaik, sparky never had it automated14:09
Hobbseebecause it was taking ages14:09
persiaHobbsee: it's not automatic now.  Maybe soon again: there was some lpusers hacking happening earlier.14:09
Ubulettethen you need to update the wiki page.14:10
Hobbseeor you could14:10
* Hobbsee is studying for an exam tomorrow14:10
Ubulette"Next, ask the REVU admins in #ubuntu-motu to re-sync the REVU uploaders keyring, which grants you upload rights to REVU. If you don't get a reply within 24 hours, the keyring is resynced nightly via cron, so you will be able to upload after this happens"14:10
Hobbseewell, drop the second sentence.  you're there now, after all.14:10
persiaUbulette: That's still correct, and if it weren't for my bad memory, it would have worked for you yesterday.14:10
joejaxxdo you have to be on hte motu-mentoring-reception csv?14:12
joejaxxthe*14:12
persiajoejaxx: For what?14:13
joejaxxfor going through through the process14:14
joejaxxi have been doing motu hopeful stuff since feisty14:15
joejaxxbut really have not enntered a process14:16
joejaxxentered*14:16
joejaxxit has been more of a "oh fix this" thing :P14:16
UbuletteHobbsee, is the resync over ?14:17
persiaUbulette: It takes 20-40 minutes.14:17
HobbseeUbulette: no.14:17
Ubulettelol, ok14:17
Hobbseejoejaxx: you do not need to be.  some people find it helfpul14:17
Hobbseejoejaxx: you'll do better if you have a drive of wanting to see things fixed, and being determined to do it.  and being able to read documentation like how to get sponsorship14:18
Hobbseejoejaxx: and being able to ask decent questions (with enough info in them) in here14:18
joejaxxHobbsee: sure :) i already do that though14:18
Hobbseejoejaxx: then you'r efine :)14:19
joejaxxbut it seems like if i do not get into some process i will still be in the same state come hardy + 214:19
Hobbseejoejaxx: nah, not really.14:19
Hobbseejoejaxx: come to think of it, i've not sponsored your stuff in a while though14:20
joejaxxyeah there are really only two people that do14:20
Hobbseejoejaxx: have you asked them if they think you're ready for motu?14:20
persiajoejaxx: The mentoring process will soon have 2 stages: the first being an introduction (which you don't need), and the second being final planning (which you don't need yet).  You'd do better just to push things in.14:20
persiajoejaxx: Do you need some work to do?14:21
joejaxxHobbsee: i do not think i am lol14:21

LucidFoxWhat is the correct version to obtain the upstream version number in debian/rules?14:25
UbuletteHobbsee, thx. done14:25
LucidFoxDebian uses: SOURCE_VERSION = $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | egrep '^Version' | egrep -o '[0-9][^-]+')14:25

persiaLucidFox: There's lots of different ways.  That one works.14:26
persiaLucidFox: I tend to use `head -1 debian/changelog | sed s/.*\(.*\)/*/\1/`, but that's not better.14:27

slangasekcan someone tell me where to find the merge-buildpackage script referenced in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging ?  I don't seem to have it, there's no mention of a package, and bash doesn't seem to look it up for me21:56
lifelessdevscripts I thought21:57
slangaseknot in the gutsy version21:58
slangasekthere seems to be a split ubuntu-dev-tools package now where some Ubuntu-specific stuff has moved, but merge-buildpackage isn't there either21:58
LaserJockslangasek: it's from MoM21:58
imbrandoni think when you get a package via grab-merge.sh it also gets that script in the cwd21:59
