| ScottK | txwikinger: You still around? | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottK | txwikinger: I've run into this exact issue before. | 00:05 |
| txwikinger | yes ScottK | 00:06 |
| ScottK | Does the package include the full text of any of the licenses that apply (there are 3)? | 00:06 |
| txwikinger | No.. only a reference to perl | 00:06 |
| ScottK | You will have to repack the tarball to include a copy of the license. | 00:07 |
| ScottK | I'll get you some references. | 00:07 |
| ScottK | Also, "Same terms as Perl" covers at least 3 licenses: | 00:07 |
| ScottK | Perl Artistic License | 00:07 |
| ScottK | GPL v2 | 00:07 |
| ScottK | GPL v1 | 00:07 |
| txwikinger | I think it is GPL and Perl Artistic | 00:07 |
| ScottK | If it's "Same as Perl" then it's both GPL v1 and v2. | 00:08 |
| txwikinger | This package is free software and is provided "as is" without express | 00:08 |
| txwikinger | or implied warranty. You can redistribute it and/or modify it under | 00:08 |
| txwikinger | the same terms as Perl itself. | 00:08 |
| ScottK | All three will need to be covered in debian/copyright. | 00:08 |
| ScottK | Yes. | 00:08 |
| txwikinger | that is in the readme file | 00:08 |
| ScottK | At least one needs to be in the tarball, so you have to repack. | 00:08 |
| txwikinger | I have created the debian/copyright | 00:09 |
| ScottK | With all three licenses discussed? | 00:09 |
| txwikinger | and there given the reference to the folders in which those licenses are in ubuntu/debian distro | 00:09 |
| txwikinger | I think just gpl and perl artistic | 00:09 |
| txwikinger | not explicitly gpl v1 and v2 | 00:10 |
| ScottK | Yes. Perl is explicitly v1 and v2. | 00:10 |
| ScottK | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/libnet-dns-resolver-programmable-perl/0.002.2-0ubuntu1 is a package I did. | 00:10 |
| txwikinger | and I copied the COPYING file from perl to the package top directory | 00:10 |
| ScottK | Some of the rules on how you document repacking have changed a bit, so you'll want to read up on that. | 00:10 |
| txwikinger | ok.. I haven't repackaged the orig tarball I think | 00:11 |
| ScottK | http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-origtargz talks about how you repack the tarball | 00:11 |
| ScottK | The package I showed you above can mostly be used as a reference. | 00:11 |
| ScottK | for what has to go in. | 00:12 |
| txwikinger | right | 00:12 |
| slangasek | just because upstream explicitly makes something available under GPLv1 (in addition to GPLv2) doesn't mean redistributors have to extend the same license to users | 00:15 |
| txwikinger | Thanks ScottK | 00:16 |
| ScottK | slangasek: True, but unless there's a reason not to, I think packagers should preserve upstream's preferences in licensing. | 00:17 |
| lifeless | ScottK: we can't limit upstream's preference, but we can patch it with something not compatible with upstreams entire preferences | 00:18 |
| ScottK | txwikinger: More info here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Basic?highlight=%28get-orig-source%29#head-4bb01b3c07548aaf98e85ac7eb7983e632f8eb38 - particularly on making a get-orig-source rule. | 00:18 |
| ScottK | lifeless: I agree that we can. I also think that we shouldn't without a good reason. | 00:19 |
| slangasek | I think not having to hunt down the text of the ancient GPLv1 is a good enough reason, myself :) | 00:19 |
| * ScottK was just typing that I thought it not. Google is easy enough, but OK. | 00:19 | |
| slangasek | ScottK: ok, more concretely, the GPLv1 is old enough that I don't know it has ever even been reviewed by a body such as debian-legal to check whether it imposes unreasonable obligations on distributors such as Debian and Ubuntu | 00:25 |
| ScottK | That's definitely more concrete, although Ubuntu doesn't have such a body, so it'd be a better Debian point than an Ubuntu one. | 00:26 |
| slangasek | well, I'm saying that no one has done such a review, and I wouldn't want to be the one packaging something like that without reading the license carefully | 00:26 |
| * ScottK has wondered why Perl is still distributed under GPL v1. | 00:26 | |
| ScottK | That certainly makes sense. | 00:27 |
| txwikinger | ScottK: maybe they can't get all authors to agree to the change to GPL v2 or is all copyright transfered? | 00:27 |
| ScottK | It's GPL v1 and 2, so they can drop 1 if they feel like it. | 00:28 |
| StevenK | ScottK: Perl is special, being GPLv2 or Artistic | 00:28 |
| ScottK | StevenK: Except it's really GPLv1, GPLv2, or Artistic, so it's even more special than that. | 00:28 |
| ScottK | pitti or Mithrandir rejected my first new package because of this. | 00:29 |
| === zakame__ is now known as zakame | ||
| imbrandon | wtfpl ftw:) | 00:30 |
| minghua | ScottK: Is it "GPL v1 or v2", or "GPL v1 or later"? In other words, is it GPL v3 compatible? | 00:30 |
| * ScottK would need to look. Last time I was required to care, there wasn't a v3 yet. | 00:30 | |
| txwikinger | minghua: | 00:32 |
| txwikinger | the GNU General Public License as published by the Free | 00:32 |
| txwikinger | Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) any | 00:32 |
| txwikinger | later version, or | 00:32 |
| lifeless | txwikinger: thats the licence, not the grant. | 00:32 |
| lifeless | txwikinger: you have to have a grant statement to decide what licence a package is under | 00:32 |
| txwikinger | lifeless: I have no idea what this means | 00:34 |
| ScottK | txwikinger: It means you were quoting from the GPL, not the bit where Perl says how it's licensed | 00:34 |
| norsetto | g'night all | 00:34 |
| minghua | ScottK: The /usr/share/doc/perl-base/copyright says GPL v1 or later. | 00:35 |
| * minghua can't find anything definitive on perl.org though. | 00:35 | |
| ScottK | Then it's be v3 too I guess. | 00:35 |
| txwikinger | ScottK: I was quoting from perl's readme file which declares under which terms you are allowed to redistribute | 00:35 |
| ScottK | That's consistent with my recollection from January | 00:35 |
| ScottK | txwikinger: The part you were quoting from is part of the GPL though. | 00:36 |
| txwikinger | ScottK: True it is inside the GPL also | 00:36 |
| superm1 | jdong, when did it ever? i didn't recall making such a change, and looking through bzr history on debian/control, i don't see any dependencies directly on it | 00:37 |
| superm1 | actually hmm. can't remove it without removing mplayer | 00:40 |
| superm1 | something about mplayer wants to keep it | 00:40 |
| superm1 | some other dependency | 00:40 |

| jdong | superm1: on [powerpc] there's a binary dep on mp4v2 | 00:40 |
| superm1 | oh interesting. | 00:40 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: not trying to remove, chasing after an API migration | 00:40 |
| jdong | superm1: could be a shlibdeps phenomenon? | 00:41 |
| superm1 | well if its only on ppc, then why is it sticking around for i386? | 00:41 |
| jdong | where phenomenon is polite speak for bug? | 00:41 |
| superm1 | haha | 00:41 |
| superm1 | its a dependency of libfaac0 | 00:43 |
| superm1 | which is a dependency of mplayer | 00:43 |
| jdong | superm1: oh so it gets pulled in anyway | 00:43 |
| superm1 | yeah | 00:43 |
| jdong | superm1: lovely, well faac is definitely going to be hit by the mpeg4ip transmition | 00:44 |

| jdong | hehe I'm ex-automatix :) | 01:04 |
| Hobbsee | heya! | 01:04 |
| ajmitch | I know :) | 01:04 |
| minghua | StevenK: Sure. Glad to see you are interested in it. | 01:04 |
| StevenK | minghua: I'm trying to get Hildon Input Method working, and I'm getting nowhere slowly. | 01:05 |
| minghua | StevenK: I assume you understand the general idea of input methods? | 01:05 |
| ajmitch | and it's taken many long years of rehabilitation | 01:05 |
| jdong | ajmitch: lol ;-) | 01:05 |
| StevenK | minghua: I understand it in the mobile case - click on a text widget and get the input method to pop up a keyboard so you can type | 01:06 |
| minghua | StevenK: Oh. Then you probably don't. | 01:06 |
| minghua | StevenK: The point of an IM is to convert keystroke sequences to character/string. | 01:07 |
| minghua | StevenK: For some languages keymaps can do this, for the East Asian languages keymaps are not powerful enough. | 01:07 |
| * StevenK nods | 01:07 | |
| * jdong looks at slomo's comment on bug 80825 | 01:09 | |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 80825 in faac "Version bump to 1.25 request" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/80825 | 01:09 |
| minghua | StevenK: So first there was X input method (XIM), which is some part (I don't know which) in X that take the keyboard input from X server, send it to some external conversion program, get the character/string back, and send that to X client. | 01:09 |
| minghua | StevenK: XIM has many limitations, and is generally hard to code for X client programmers, and error-prone. | 01:09 |
| jdong | hmm better get his opinion on this -- he felt strongly enough 1.5yrs ago to package from scratch and diverge from marillat | 01:09 |
| StevenK | minghua: Which lead to SCIM, I'm guessing | 01:10 |
| minghua | StevenK: So GTK+ redesigned/reimplemented the input method stack, and have something (again, I don't know what) in the GTK+ system which handles the conversion. | 01:11 |
| minghua | StevenK: Not yet. :-) | 01:11 |
| ScottK | Hobbsee: Did you see the message I left for LongPointyStick about the CC meeting tomorrow. | 01:11 |
| LordKow | is breezy (5.10) long past being supported? | 01:12 |
| minghua | StevenK: This is commonly called GTK IM, as a well known environment variable to control this part of GTK+ is GTK_IM_MODULE. | 01:12 |
| StevenK | Breezy is long dead, yes | 01:12 |
| effie_jayx | :( | 01:12 |
| minghua | StevenK: So obviously most existent conversion programs works for XIM, and GTK+ don't want to throw them away. | 01:12 |
| StevenK | minghua: I knew that bit from my web searching yesterday | 01:12 |
| LordKow | so conflicts/replaces on a package that has been removed from the ubuntu repositories since breezy no longer needs to be included as a conflict/replace in hardy? | 01:12 |
| * effie_jayx remember when breezy was hype | 01:12 | |
| effie_jayx | s/remember/remembers | 01:13 |
| jdong | breezy was the roughest Ubuntu release I've used | 01:13 |
| crimsun | LordKow: correct. | 01:13 |
| LordKow | k one step closer to being able to sync | 01:13 |
| minghua | StevenK: Therefore GTK+ can defer to XIM to handle the conversion, which is what GTK_IM_MODULE=xim mean. | 01:13 |
| StevenK | LordKow: If they needed for an upgrade *to* Dapper, they can go; if they're needed for an upgrade *from* Dapper, they stay. | 01:13 |
| StevenK | minghua: Yup. | 01:13 |
| LordKow | StevenK, considering the conflict/replace in question is not in dapper they should be safe to remove | 01:14 |
| minghua | StevenK: My understanding is that different modules of the GTK IMs are quite independent. You can see the files in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/, and the module (essentially the conversion method) in the right click menu's "Input Methods". | 01:15 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: not yet, but i will | 01:15 |
| StevenK | minghua: Right. | 01:15 |
| minghua | StevenK: Again, this is controlled by the GTK_IM_MODULE variable. | 01:15 |
| minghua | StevenK: This is basically about IM. I take it that you are interested in SCIM as well? | 01:16 |
| StevenK | minghua: Not particularly, I'm interested in how to debug IM because I can't get Hildon Input Method working | 01:16 |
| minghua | StevenK: What input method is Hildon using? I'm not familiar with it at all. | 01:17 |
| slangasek | presumably the "hildon" one :) | 01:17 |
| minghua | Is it a special GTK IM module? | 01:17 |
| StevenK | It's own, http://live.gnome.org/Hildon/HildonInputMethod | 01:17 |
| StevenK | Actually, the input method is called "hildon-input-method" | 01:17 |
| minghua | StevenK: Does hildon-IM run on vanilla GTK now? | 01:21 |
| StevenK | I've not been able to determine that. | 01:21 |
| StevenK | Although I suspect the answer is "No" since I can't get it working | 01:22 |
| minghua | It looks like an GTK IM module to me. Is there anything in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/ that looks like hildon? | 01:22 |
| minghua | The problem is, Debian/Ubuntu's GTK IM stack is not vanilla either... | 01:22 |
| StevenK | Hold on, just booting the device | 01:23 |
| slangasek | minghua: in what sense, and why? | 01:23 |
| minghua | StevenK: If you've been following http://live.gnome.org/Hildon/HildonInputMethod/Building, I can seen something would not work... | 01:24 |
| minghua | slangasek: Let me dig up the reference for you. | 01:24 |
| StevenK | minghua: Oh? | 01:24 |
| minghua | slangasek, StevenK: http://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2006/10/msg00045.html | 01:25 |
| minghua | slangasek, StevenK: I can't find a better reference, so I'll elaborate a bit more: | 01:27 |
| minghua | GTK uses /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules to register all the available IMs. | 01:28 |
| minghua | So individual IMs need to update that file after they are installed/uninstalled. | 01:29 |
| minghua | You can see it would cause some problem as it's a conffile. | 01:29 |
| StevenK | Yeah | 01:29 |
| StevenK | Just throwing hildon-input-method into /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules has made it hit the list of input methods. | 01:30 |
| minghua | So in Debian after 2.10 it is changed to use individual files in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/ instead. | 01:30 |
| minghua | And /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules become useless. | 01:31 |
| StevenK | dh_gtkmodules ah | 01:31 |
| minghua | StevenK: That's why I say following the Hildon upstream instructions would not work. | 01:31 |
| StevenK | minghua: It certainly helped | 01:31 |
| minghua | This change is not in GTK+ upstream AFAIK. | 01:31 |
| minghua | slangasek, StevenK: Debian bug 419314 is an example how input method packages should adapt to this change. | 01:32 |
| ubotu | Debian bug 419314 in scim-gtk2-immodule "Switch to dh_gtkmodules for the gtk 2.10 transition" [Serious,Fixed] http://bugs.debian.org/419314 | 01:32 |
| minghua | Loïc Minier should know better than I do, as that change is his. | 01:33 |
| minghua | And I think he is also an MOTU now? | 01:33 |
| StevenK | I can talk to Loïc about it | 01:34 |
| StevenK | Now, how do I set a gconf key | 01:34 |
| minghua | gconftool if you are hardcore, gconf-editor is a saner alternative. | 01:35 |
| StevenK | From a command line, hopefully | 01:35 |
| crimsun | StevenK's hardcore! | 01:35 |
| minghua | StevenK: gconftool-2, actually it seems, as gconftool is a symlink to it. It's command-line. | 01:36 |
| StevenK | Right, got it. | 01:39 |
| LordKow | are there any policies with regard to putting Homepage: <whatever> in a package description? | 01:42 |
| jdong | LordKow: I was last told to start using the Homepage: tag (paraphrasing) though Homepage: is a valid way on its way to being deprecated | 01:43 |
| StevenK | What? Homepage as a field has only just started existing | 01:43 |
| RAOF | I think he meant "using Homepage: foo in the package description", not the shiny new dpkg field. | 01:44 |
| LordKow | okay, this particular package has the Homepage set properly but (in regards to homepage) we deviated from debian by adding Homepage: <link> to the package descriptions to | 01:44 |
| LordKow | i take it I can safely remove the homepage link from the description? | 01:44 |
| RAOF | Well, there's a nice easy divergence to drop :) | 01:44 |
| minghua | If those two URLs are the same. :-) | 01:46 |
| TheMuso | StevenK: In what context do you need to set a gconf key? | 01:46 |
| TheMuso | StevenK: Is it just for your own use, or within a package? | 01:46 |
| StevenK | TheMuso: Within a package | 01:46 |
| * StevenK has figured it out, too | 01:47 | |
| TheMuso | StevenK: Are you aware of the gconf-defaults mechanism available? | 01:47 |
| StevenK | TheMuso: Nope. Can you spit out more information? | 01:50 |
| TheMuso | StevenK: Sure. What you can do is create a file called debian/packagename.gconf-defaults, and you can list the keys you want to set in it like this: | 01:51 |
| TheMuso | /path/to/gconf/key value | 01:51 |
| TheMuso | /path/to/other/key false | 01:51 |
| TheMuso | etc | 01:51 |
| TheMuso | Then, in debian/rules, you run dh_gonfdefaults with a priority number in the binary stage of the build, whic copies the file to /usr/share/gconf/defaults, and does postinst/prerm magic to run update-gconf-defaults. | 01:52 |
| LordKow | are there any limitations to merges when the merge involves new packages added by debian? | 01:52 |
| TheMuso | Hope that makes sense | 01:52 |
| TheMuso | sorry, dh_gconf | 01:52 |
| StevenK | TheMuso: Sure it does, I'll add dh_gconf as something to look at. :-) | 01:52 |
| RAOF | LordKow: You mean the same source package now builds new binary packages? | 01:54 |
| LordKow | yes | 01:54 |
| LordKow | it adds a new package (but doesnt rename or remove any others) | 01:55 |
| RAOF | I can't think of anything special at the moment. | 01:56 |
| minghua | Probably checking that there is not package name collision. | 01:56 |
| LordKow | k. it was added by debian but I will still mention it in the changes for future reference | 01:56 |
| LordKow | minghua, yep gcrystal does not exist in any of our repos right now | 01:57 |
| minghua | LordKow: Sounds good. | 01:57 |
| jdong | hmm convention question: | 02:06 |
| jdong | If I work on a package by testing in a PPA and go through ~ppa1 -> ~ppa3, and then am ready to upload to Ubuntu, should I (A) Consolidate the ~ppa* changelog entries into one final entry, or (2) Preserve that changelog history and use -v to make them all show up in .changes? | 02:07 |
| jdong | err I just used (A) and (2) | 02:07 |
| * Fujitsu would go with A. | 02:08 | |
| jdong | I'm leaning towards A, too | 02:09 |
| jdong | expecially since (2) exposes more embarassing details of my incompetence than I'd like to discluse ;-) | 02:09 |
| * Fujitsu is glad that the .changes are stored for eternity for all to see. | 02:12 | |
| Fujitsu | You can't hide them forever! | 02:12 |
| jdong | lol | 02:12 |
| lifeless | hmm | 02:13 |
| lifeless | possible attack vulnerability with reused binaries there | 02:13 |
| Fujitsu | lifeless: The .changes? | 02:13 |
| Fujitsu | Where are the binaries reused? | 02:14 |
| lifeless | I've mailed the soyuz folk. | 02:15 |
| lifeless | If I'm wrong I'll explain it to you tomorrow when they correct me. | 02:15 |
| lifeless | If I'm right, I'd rather not say more just yet. | 02:16 |
| somerville32 | OooOoo... | 02:19 |
| jdong | dun dun dunnnnnnn | 02:20 |
| * Fujitsu notes there is another much, much worse vulnerability. | 02:21 | |
| somerville32 | Really? Do share. | 02:22 |
| Hobbsee | you don't want to know. | 02:22 |
| Fujitsu | You really don't want to know. | 02:22 |
| * ajmitch really does | 02:22 | |
| Fujitsu | It is a most nasty one. | 02:23 |
| * somerville32 always wants to know. | 02:23 | |
| Amaranth | I want to know | 02:27 |
| Amaranth | So I can exploit it and find the hidden GNOME 3.0 packages | 02:27 |
| Amaranth | I know seb128 has been keeping them from me | 02:28 |
| jdong | nice, marillat's faac builds and as does an unleashed gtkpod-aac.... now the question is, did I just start another revdep chain with faac? | 02:35 |

| nxvl | how is a sync done? | 03:27 |
| nxvl | only download the debian package and upload it? | 03:27 |
| StevenK | nxvl: A sync is done by the archive admins | 03:28 |
| nxvl | StevenK: so if one packages is marked as merge and it need a sync y only ask for it on #ubuntu-devel? | 03:29 |
| jdong | superm1: haven't bothered to jailbreak/EULA-rape mine yet | 03:30 |
| jdong | superm1: gonna use it the way apple intended (tm or else) for a few weeks before hacking it | 03:31 |
| imbrandon | nxvl: no you file a sync request bug | 03:31 |
| imbrandon | following the guidelines | 03:31 |
| LordKow | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess | 03:31 |
| nxvl | thnx | 03:33 |
| LordKow | alright given the amount of deviation required for this merge in debian/control i give this src package ~90% chance of FTBFS-ing | 03:33 |
| ScottK | LordKow: Did you build it yet? | 03:34 |
| LordKow | nope, if i did then i would give it a 0% chance of FTBFS'ing this time ;) | 03:34 |
| LordKow | okay well apt likes everything in the control file so far so good | 03:35 |
| ScottK | apt? | 03:35 |
| LordKow | pbuilder | 03:35 |
| ScottK | Ah. OK. | 03:35 |
| jdong | ok, nice, first pass through the revdep chain of mp4v2 all builds, now to go to the gym and come back and walk down the faac chain | 03:35 |
| === choudesh_ is now known as choudesh | ||
| LordKow | pbuilder might run out of disk space just trying to compile this heavily dependent package heh. 3 gigs left on my HDD at the start, 232 new packages including some huge libs like gtk2 | 03:38 |
| LordKow | that # may include base packages im not exactly sure how pbuilder works | 03:38 |
| LordKow | ah yep all the gnome libs too | 03:39 |
| * Fujitsu fails to see how GNOME libs are base packages... | 03:39 | |
| LordKow | sorry, i was rambling. I meant to say 232 new packages may include the base packages. the gnome libs statement is one of the packages but not a base package. | 03:40 |
| LordKow | configure: "libgoffice-0.4 < 0.5.0" well duh if that statement is ever false then someone messed up in packaging | 03:42 |
| nxvl | i used requestsync script, where do i check if it was correctly send? | 03:43 |
| nxvl | sent* | 03:43 |
| RAOF | Launchpad | 03:43 |
| jdong | LordKow: is that something like J2RE 6 SE Version 1.6.0_01b21? | 03:44 |
| nxvl | RAOF: on the package bugs? | 03:44 |
| RAOF | Yup. | 03:44 |
| nxvl | mm | 03:44 |
| nxvl | i will wait a little, it must take some time | 03:44 |
| nxvl | brb | 03:44 |
| LordKow | jdong, im working on gnome-chemistry-utils. that previous statement was in the configure but if this candidate is correct then that statement is now "libgoffice-0.5 >= 0.5.0" with no max version | 03:45 |
| jdong | whoo looks like only ~5 revdeps to deal with for faac | 03:46 |
| jdong | grr what am I doing, gym time... | 03:46 |
| LordKow | the devs of gnome-chemistry-utils dont specify any version requirements on their website so i figure it should always build against the latest version | 03:46 |
| LordKow | i guess its possible that libgoffice may be updated and break gnome-chemistry-utils but setting max version restrictions are nasty. | 03:47 |
| jdong | LordKow: yeah don't worry about max restrictions | 03:47 |
| Fujitsu | No, do worry about max restrictions. | 03:48 |
| jdong | LordKow: just make sure you set minimum to the hardy version if the hardy version has not built binaries across all arches yet | 03:48 |
| * somerville32 sneezes | 03:48 | |
| RAOF | LordKow: That's the responsibility of the library maintainer. | 03:48 |
| somerville32 | I forgot to take my allergy meds :( | 03:48 |
| * jdong pets somerville32 and tells him to stop whoring for attention ;-) | 03:48 | |
| LordKow | the proper way would be to notice that gnome-chemistry-utils will no longer build from source due to new libgoffice, therefore gnome-chemistry-utils should be fixed :) | 03:48 |
| Fujitsu | g-c-u was a big problem for quite some time, as we had a newer libgoffice, which didn't work with it. | 03:48 |
| Fujitsu | s/newer/development/ | 03:48 |
| jdong | LordKow: ha, how many people actually test the reverse deps ;-) | 03:48 |
| jdong | this would all be so much easier by a drive-by API change mechanism ;-) | 03:49 |
| LordKow | jdong, well the most testing i do is build the packages, install them... and run 'em | 03:49 |
| jdong | *BANG* (run before anyone notices broken revdeps) | 03:49 |
| TheMuso | c | 03:49 |
| TheMuso | wrong tab | 03:49 |
| jdong | LordKow: hehe this multimedia stuff I'm working on seems to always uproot a mesh of revdep problems :) | 03:50 |
| jdong | but it builds character :) | 03:50 |
| LordKow | hehe, and frustration | 03:50 |
| LordKow | ah yep FTBFS, time to see why | 03:50 |
| jdong | yay! | 03:50 |
| LordKow | oh bless descriptive gnome changelogs, this shall be an easy fix | 03:52 |
| LordKow | and its an issue of the package not building against the latest goffice... i sense upstream bug reports | 03:52 |
| LordKow | http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/goffice/0.5/goffice-0.5.1.changes look at all of those headers they moved... eeeuuwwwwwwwww | 03:52 |
| LordKow | change build-dep to >= 0.5.1 and go with it i guess | 03:53 |
| LordKow | okay i think i'll cancel the g-c-u 0.8.x merge and file a request in debian to -> 0.9 because the g-c-u devs fixed FTBFS against goffice 0.5.1 and that is what we have in hardy | 03:57 |
| Fujitsu | LordKow: Does Debian have that goffice yet? | 03:59 |
| LordKow | yea in fact we should be merging with it, they use 0.5.3 | 03:59 |
| LordKow | so, i wonder how long before debian g-c-u maintainers realize 0.8 doesnt compile against goffice >= 0.5.1 | 04:00 |
| LordKow | ah, thats why they require 0.4 | 04:01 |
| LordKow | so for us i guess the question is: what do we do about the g-c-u merge? :p | 04:01 |
| crimsun | hmm, well, 6.06 -> 8.04 using apt-get hitches on initramfs-tools. | 04:02 |
| LordKow | we could always push libgoffice-0.4 into hardy but the package would possibily be obsolete before hardy is even released in april | 04:03 |
| LordKow | and it would conflict with 0.5. too messy | 04:04 |
| LordKow | but our current version wont compile against 0.5 :-/ | 04:04 |
| LordKow | so g-c-u is dead in the water right now | 04:04 |
| crimsun | hmm, and on libx11-data. | 04:12 |
| crimsun | ok, so bug 56008 is moot. It's definitely installable due to xutils existing in 8.04. | 04:15 |

| crimsun | yeah, I can do that, jcastro. | 04:16 |
| jcastro | crimsun: so, to give you more details | 04:17 |
| jcastro | christer wants to seriously leverage LoCo people to become MOTUs | 04:18 |
| jcastro | so he's running his own LoCo-driven "open week" | 04:18 |
| jcastro | and if reaching out to volunteers | 04:18 |
| jcastro | the idea is to have MOTUs on stand by to deal with volunteers that might be interested | 04:18 |
| crimsun | right. | 04:19 |
| jcastro | crimsun: totally crap too dude, I only got to say hi, we never got a chance to sit down and talk about stuff | 04:19 |

| jcastro | Burgundavia: COREY! | 04:23 |
| ScottK | People interested in Universe and security stuff might want to look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TechnicalBoardAgenda and then discuss with Burgundavia... | 04:23 |
| LordKow | how did a package like g-c-u which is under heavy heavy development make it into ubuntu? :P | 04:32 |
| Fujitsu | ScottK, Burgundavia: hah, I was thinking about requesting that last night. | 04:32 |
| Fujitsu | But we need reasonable security support first, which \sh and I are working on organising. | 04:32 |
| ScottK | Thought you'd like it. | 04:32 |
| ScottK | Fujitsu: We do some now and it's reasonable (I think) to document what we are doing. | 04:32 |
| ScottK | BTW if you want help on the security organizing thing, let me know. | 04:33 |
| Fujitsu | ScottK: Sorta, I guess. | 04:33 |
| ScottK | My favorite was one security upload I did for a perl package in 4 releases. It was in Main for two and Universe for two and so the USN only discussed the Main releases and was silent on the rest. | 04:34 |
| Fujitsu | ScottK: That's understandable. | 04:34 |
| Fujitsu | We need UUSAs at some point, particularly with the recent removal of a certain bug/feature. | 04:35 |
| Fujitsu | I'd like them to be in place before Hardy, at least, and I will do whatever it takes to get them happening. | 04:35 |
| ScottK | Fujitsu: It's understandable to me since I'm involved in the process, but it totally violates the principal of least suprise | 04:35 |
| LordKow | bug 172717 im not sure anyone here right now wants to tackle this but just in case. | 04:36 |

| Burgundavia | Fujitsu: right, that would rock | 04:37 |
| Fujitsu | Do we have a date for the meeting yet? | 04:37 |
| Burgundavia | the TB one? | 04:37 |
| keescook | Fujitsu: Supposedly it's scheduled for 1.1.12 LP roll-out | 04:37 |
| Fujitsu | Burgundavia: What would? | 04:37 |
| Fujitsu | Yeah, TB. | 04:37 |
| Burgundavia | look, I only deal with on train wreck of a meeting schedule, the CC one | 04:37 |
| Fujitsu | keescook: Hi. That's good. | 04:37 |
| Fujitsu | Burgundavia: Heh. | 04:37 |
| Fujitsu | keescook: You don't have any horribly violent objections to us doing USAs for universe (UUSAs?) to some universe-security or similar mailing list, do you? | 04:39 |
| keescook | UUSN, maybe to share more of the acronym? no objection at all, I think it's a fine idea. | 04:40 |
| keescook | I've long wanted a place for UUSNs to go, which is why I was so annoyed to discover that they stopped going to the -changes list | 04:40 |
| Fujitsu | Erm, yes, N, I meant. | 04:40 |
| Fujitsu | I've been looking at more DSAs late,y. | 04:41 |
| Fujitsu | Hence the A. | 04:41 |
| keescook | Fujitsu: also, it's still pushing, but it should be available in about 15 minutes: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cve-tracker/ | 04:41 |
| * keescook nods | 04:41 | |
| Fujitsu | ubuntu-universe-security@l.u.c, perhaps? | 04:41 |
| Fujitsu | keescook: Who owns the branch? | 04:41 |
| keescook | while long, u-u-s-announce matches the u-s-announce list | 04:42 |
| keescook | Fujitsu: who-ever pushes one. I figure there would be a motu-swat owned branch | 04:42 |
| Fujitsu | keescook: OK, best to have consistency. | 04:42 |
| keescook | and I could merge it to "master" which is under the ubuntu-security group | 04:42 |
| Fujitsu | keescook: Makes sense, I think. | 04:42 |
| keescook | Yeah, that doesn't work out, we can just redefine ownership (yay bzr!) | 04:43 |
| Fujitsu | Rather `yay LP', but yep. | 04:43 |
| keescook | well, I mean, we can just aim at a different branch and call that one "HEAD". :P | 04:43 |
| keescook | anyway, I spent a bunch of time to day (after PHP) working on some graphs | 04:44 |
| keescook | which is my first step to some better reporting and visualization | 04:44 |
| Fujitsu | keescook: I do hope you wrote them in PHP. | 04:47 |
| Fujitsu | Just to add to the fun. | 04:47 |
| keescook | Fujitsu: heheh. nope, so far, python and gnuplot love | 04:47 |
| Fujitsu | keescook: Are the current results anywhere public? | 04:47 |
| keescook | Fujitsu: not yet | 04:48 |
| LaserJock | anybody know any way to debug why a binary can't find a shared library, even though it's clearly there? | 05:24 |
| minghua | strace? | 05:26 |
| LaserJock | no such file or directory :/ | 05:28 |
| LaserJock | it's in /usr/local/lib/ dang it | 05:28 |
| RAOF | Is /usr/local/lib in the ldpath? | 05:32 |
| RAOF | LaserJock: Checked /etc/ld.so.conf{,.d}? Run ldconf? Does it work with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib <binary>? | 05:33 |
| RAOF | It's not the wrong architecture (IA32/x86-64?) | 05:34 |
| LaserJock | ok, LD_LIBRARY_PATH worked | 05:38 |
| LaserJock | why the heck wouldn't /usr/local/lib be in my path | 05:38 |
| RAOF | I've seen a couple of people wondering thate. | 05:39 |
| RAOF | I've not tried it myself. | 05:39 |
| RAOF | Is /usr/local/lib somewhere in one of the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ files? | 05:39 |
| LaserJock | RAOF: it's in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf | 05:40 |
| RAOF | Yeah, that's the one. | 05:41 |
| LaserJock | ok, I ran ldconfig and now it works | 05:41 |

| dholbach | hey imbrandon | 06:50 |
| TheMuso | Hey dholbach. | 06:58 |
| dholbach | hey TheMuso | 06:58 |
| imbrandon | err | 07:05 |
| LaserJock | wow, I'm about to expire | 07:10 |
| pwnguin | imbrandon: did anyone from ACM get in touch with you? | 07:10 |
| imbrandon | yup | 07:11 |
| pwnguin | okays | 07:11 |
| imbrandon | forgot his name but yea | 07:11 |
| pwnguin | they can be kinda not on top of the ball | 07:11 |
| Fujitsu | ACM? | 07:11 |
| StevenK | LaserJock: I renewed my membership in members about an hour ago | 07:11 |
| pwnguin | association for computing machinery | 07:11 |
| LaserJock | StevenK: lol | 07:11 |
| StevenK | LaserJock: I have this vague feeling we hit members during the same meeting | 07:12 |
| LaserJock | perhaps so | 07:12 |
| * pwnguin hacked his router today | 07:12 | |
| pwnguin | it seems linksys stores network keys in cleartext on nvram | 07:13 |
| LaserJock | I wish the Americian Society of Mechanical Engineers would leave me alone | 07:13 |
| Fujitsu | Oh wow, 793 proposed members... that's impressive. | 07:13 |
| LaserJock | I got to one little conference and they think I'm an engineer | 07:13 |
| pwnguin | proposed members to what? | 07:14 |
| Fujitsu | pwnguin: ~ubuntumembers | 07:14 |
| pwnguin | is that a disjoint set of -developers? | 07:14 |
| LaserJock | now I get a "Join ASME Today!" letter like every month | 07:14 |
| StevenK | pwnguin: Nope, membership is completly different | 07:15 |
| Fujitsu | pwnguin: It's general contributors. | 07:15 |
| Fujitsu | Developers are a subset of members. | 07:15 |
| pwnguin | StevenK, Fujitsu: one of you is wrong | 07:15 |
| LaserJock | no, they are both right | 07:15 |
| imbrandon | they are both right | 07:15 |
| pwnguin | world explodes | 07:15 |
| LaserJock | and now imbrandon and I are both right | 07:16 |
| imbrandon | haha | 07:16 |
| LaserJock | phew, we got this one nailed down | 07:16 |
| slangasek | no, only one of you is right | 07:16 |
| pwnguin | well | 07:16 |
| pwnguin | once you have a contradiction, you can claim anything | 07:16 |
| LaserJock | where's the contradiction? | 07:16 |
| LaserJock | ubuntumembers is not about developers | 07:17 |
| imbrandon | well when you get to be a developer your automaticly a member if you werent already, but membership is give for other reasons too | 07:17 |
| pwnguin | but every developer is a member | 07:17 |
| LaserJock | right | 07:17 |
| StevenK | pwnguin: But not every member is a developer. | 07:17 |
| pwnguin | which means they are related :P | 07:17 |
| LaserJock | pwnguin: well not in purpose | 07:17 |
| LaserJock | only in membership | 07:17 |
| pwnguin | anyways, what was the last thing ubuntu-members voted on? | 07:18 |
| LaserJock | so I would say "completly different" would be correct | 07:18 |
| LaserJock | pwnguin: I think they only have ever voted on Community Council memebership | 07:18 |
| Fujitsu | pwnguin: The CC elections. | 07:18 |
| Fujitsu | Well, the last CC election. | 07:18 |
| imbrandon | and you get a spiffy @ubuntu.com email addresss :) | 07:19 |
| * Fujitsu swishes his cloak. | 07:19 | |
| pwnguin | can you put the logo on your business card? ^_^ | 07:19 |
| LaserJock | yep | 07:19 |
| imbrandon | yea, and a cloak | 07:19 |
| Fujitsu | pwnguin: You are authorised to carry Ubuntu business cards. | 07:19 |
| pwnguin | anyways, why's it surprising to see so many members? | 07:20 |
| slangasek | but only core-dev are allowed to carry Ubuntu business cards with poison tips | 07:20 |
| Fujitsu | slangasek: Haha. | 07:20 |
| Fujitsu | pwnguin: Proposed members. | 07:20 |
| Fujitsu | Twice as many as real members. | 07:20 |
| imbrandon | slangasek: ohhhh where do i order mine ? | 07:20 |
| pwnguin | ah | 07:20 |
| pwnguin | imbrandon: well, you have to pick them up at the ninja council | 07:20 |
| imbrandon | is that in skeltors castle ? heh | 07:21 |
| imbrandon | ugh, if its not one thing its another ...... brb | 07:21 |
| * Fujitsu sneaks another nasty onto imbrandon's plate. | 07:21 | |
| LaserJock | where the heck is my Battle Cat? | 07:22 |
| imbrandon | he's cringer right now, and hiding behind orko | 07:22 |
| Fujitsu | LaserJock: Only ubuntu-release gets Ubuntu Battle Cats. | 07:22 |
| LaserJock | pfft | 07:22 |
| LaserJock | but I'm in the MOTU trinity :( | 07:22 |
| Fujitsu | LaserJock: They get Golden Ponies. | 07:24 |
| LaserJock | then how come I've never gotten one? :( | 07:24 |
| * imbrandon forgets whom the original trinity was | 07:24 | |
| imbrandon | crimsun, LaserJock, and ajmitch ? | 07:25 |
| LaserJock | you, bddebian, and myself I think | 07:25 |
| LaserJock | oh hmm | 07:25 |
| LaserJock | I don't remember | 07:25 |
| imbrandon | ahh i thought we were the second comming of the trinity | 07:25 |
| LaserJock | but I'm in it dang it! | 07:25 |
| imbrandon | no idea, been to many nights of sleep since then | 07:25 |
| Fujitsu | imbrandon: s/of/of no/? | 07:26 |
| imbrandon | lol | 07:26 |
| imbrandon | crimsun coined it, ask him later :) | 07:26 |
| LaserJock | and he has a photographic memory | 07:27 |
| LaserJock | which means he can remember our IRC chat | 07:27 |
| LaserJock | ;-) | 07:27 |
| imbrandon | hrm is there a way to remove non-ascii chars from a string without also stripping the linebreaks etc ? | 07:30 |
| imbrandon | ( python ) | 07:31 |
| lifeless | linebreaks are ascii | 07:31 |
| lifeless | ord(char) < 128 gives you ascii IIRC | 07:31 |
| imbrandon | hrm | 07:32 |
| imbrandon | k | 07:32 |
| slangasek | but maybe that's not what you mean by "non-ascii"? | 07:33 |
| imbrandon | well there is some chars that look like blocks with numbers i need to remove | 07:33 |
| imbrandon | heh | 07:33 |
| imbrandon | rss hates them | 07:33 |
| lifeless | well | 07:33 |
| lifeless | sounds like you just need to encode your unicode string appropriately; whack a utf8 coding on your rss feed and encode as utf8 | 07:34 |
| lifeless | you'll need /some/ entity escaping but thats easy enough | 07:34 |

| magicfab | When I add the "partner" repo, (deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner) to my sources list, it gets ignored at update time and I don't see any of its applictions. any reason why ? | 12:42 |
| Hobbsee | magicfab: where are you looking for it's applications? | 12:42 |
| magicfab | Hobbsee, synaptic, etc.. | 12:43 |
| === Pumpernickle is now known as Pumpernickel | ||
| Hobbsee | magicfab: what's "etc" in this instance? | 12:43 |
| === Lure_ is now known as Lure | ||

| magicfab | Ign http://archive.canonical.com gutsy/partner Translation-en_US | 12:44 |

| magicfab | Hit http://archive.canonical.com gutsy/partner Packages | 12:44 |
| magicfab | etc. is Add / Remove... under the Apps menu | 12:44 |
| Hobbsee | it'll ignore it if there's nothing new | 12:44 |
| magicfab | and apt-cache search and other similar tools | 12:44 |
| Hobbsee | magicfab: erm, when did you guys get -partner up and running? | 12:44 |
| Hobbsee | does mvo's script looking for desktop files even cover partner? | 12:45 |
| magicfab | ok, but if I browse to the URL I see several packages which I don't see in any package mgmt tool | 12:45 |
| Hobbsee | not even "apt-cache madison <packagename>" ? | 12:45 |
| magicfab | Hobbsee, ~nov 6 according to the URL files dates | 12:45 |
| magicfab | An example: | 12:45 |
| magicfab | http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/v/vmware-server/ | 12:45 |
| magicfab | I am asking here becasue I figured it must be something I don't understand about general packaging | 12:46 |
| Hobbsee | magicfab: does opera show up? | 12:46 |
| magicfab | yes it does | 12:48 |
| Hobbsee | magicfab: good. for some reason, vmware-server, etc, aren't showing up in http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/partner/binary-i386/Packages.gz, so this is why your package manager is not finding them. | 12:48 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: app-install-data-commercial or similar does partner. It's separate. | 12:48 |
| magicfab | I am thinking all the others are just the latest version under feisty, that's why they don't show up | 12:48 |
| Hobbsee | magicfab: as for why, you'll have ot ask the soyuz guys why it's showing up in /pool/, but not in the package.gz's. | 12:49 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: It's only in Feisty. | 12:49 |
| persia | Was there maybe not a binary copy from feisty to gutsy during the archive transition? | 12:49 |
| Hobbsee | persia: it got removed from the standard archive. | 12:50 |
| Fujitsu | persia: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vmware-server says no. | 12:50 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: oh, feisty. right. | 12:50 |
| persia | That would do it. | 12:50 |
| Fujitsu | Bug #155362 | 12:50 |

| persia | Hobbsee: Right. libssl0.9.7 issues. That was -player though. | 12:50 |
| magicfab | heh - no hardy-partner in http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/ yet | 12:51 |
| kenkku | hello dear ubuntuers | 12:51 |
| persia | magicfab: That likely won't appear until at least 14th December, as everything might need lots of rebuilds. | 12:52 |
| Fujitsu | Hmmmmm, partner is special. It appears as the release pocket on the page I referenced. | 12:52 |
| Fujitsu | Oh, woops. | 12:52 |
| Fujitsu | It's a component now, of course. | 12:52 |
| persia | Isn't that the difference between -commercial and -partner? | 12:53 |
| Fujitsu | persia: Yes. (therefore partner shouldn't be referenced with a leading hyphen) | 12:54 |
| magicfab | there is no more -commercial, AFAIK, only "partner" | 12:54 |
| persia | Err. Right -commercial vs. partner. Nomenclature reset :) | 12:54 |
| Fujitsu | magicfab: hardy partner is published... It's a component, so is just under hardy/, not hardy-partner/ | 12:54 |
| kenkku | I have been reading the ubuntu basic packaging guide. what's not clear to me is how one creates source packages | 12:55 |
| magicfab | I knew I knew nothing about this :) | 12:55 |
| persia | magicfab: Well, gutsy/hardy have partner, whereas dapper/edgy/feisty have -commercial. It'll be another 41 monts before -commercial is completely gone. | 12:55 |
| kenkku | I have sources for an app I'd like to package - but they're just in a tarball | 12:55 |
| persia | kenkku: Are you starting with an upstream release package? | 12:55 |
| Hobbsee | magicfab: right, so what you're seeing is that the package isn't in gutsy, which is why you can't find it. | 12:55 |
| kenkku | persia: probably not, since I don't know what that is | 12:56 |
| kenkku | I'd like to distribute it to a small group, not submit it to ubuntu reps or anything | 12:56 |
| kenkku | maybe PPA | 12:56 |
| magicfab | Hobbsee, ok, I jumped to conclusions when seing the content inhttp://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/ | 12:56 |
| persia | kenkku: That's perfect. You'll want to unpack the tarball, rename the parent directory to packagename-version, add a debian/ directory, and create four files: changelog, copyright, control, and rules. The packaging guide starts with an example using the GNU hello package. | 12:56 |
| persia | kenkku: An "upstream release package" would be the upstream tarball. | 12:57 |
| Hobbsee | magicfab: yeah - that just relates to "that stuff exists in any one or more of the distros referenced in the other directory" | 12:57 |
| magicfab | tx to all, I force my self to believe you're all in different timezones, not in EST where it's 8AM (too early for me) | 12:57 |
| persia | magicfab: We're in a variety of timezones, but hours are also odd sometimes :) | 12:57 |
| kenkku | persia: about the rules, can I just run the configure script (qmake in this case) on my own computer and use the makefile it generates? | 12:58 |
| magicfab | persia, leave my fantasies intact, would you :) ? | 12:58 |
| persia | kenkku: You'll want to have debian/rules run ./configure and then run make. That means it will configure for the standard environment, rather than your personal workstation. | 12:59 |
| persia | kenkku: Take a look at the example debian/rules in the packaging guide | 12:59 |
| kenkku | well, there is no ./configure script for this application | 13:00 |
| kenkku | so I should have rules run qmake and then make? | 13:00 |
| persia | kenkku: Right. Sorry. debian/rules would run qmake :) | 13:00 |
| kenkku | ok, now I get it | 13:00 |
| kenkku | it was a bit confusing since the example in the package had the makefile in the debian/rules file | 13:00 |
| persia | kenkku: The idea is to have debian/rules have all the steps that a human would normally do, so that it can be done automatically. | 13:01 |
| kenkku | example in the tutorial I mean :P | 13:01 |
| persia | Erg. hello is a nice standard tutorial package, but that sounds confusing. | 13:01 |
| kenkku | yes, i see now. good thing I came here to ask you :P | 13:01 |
| kenkku | well, I guess it's time for a brief lunch now. thanks persia :) | 13:02 |
| * persia enjoys licenses like "Use this code however you wish. Public Domain. No warranty." :) | 13:02 | |
| persia | kenkku: No problem. If the package works well, please consider submitting it for inclusion in Ubuntu. | 13:02 |

| effie_jayx | I got the man page ready for bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghc6/+bug/95985 ... can anyone help me as what to do next? .. I have read the man page for dh_installman and several other things. but I am still uncertain as to what next | 13:14 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 95985 in ghc6 "no manpage for runghc / runhaskell" [Wishlist,New] | 13:14 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Put the manpage in debian/, add debian/manpage.1 (or whatever it's called) to debian/manpages (or debian/package.manpages depending on the existing packaging style). Make sure dh_installman is being called in debian/rules. Update the changelog. Build a source package. Build a binary package. Check the binary to see if the manpage was installed correctly. If so, generate a debdiff, attach it to the bug, and subscribe the sponsors | 13:16 |
| effie_jayx | the package has a manpage ... but it does not have a manpage for a specifi porgram in the package | 13:19 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Right. Same procedure applies :) | 13:19 |
| persia | effie_jayx: More verbosely, the package likely already has dh_installman and debian/manpages, so you should be able to just add to debian/manpages to get it to work, but it's always best to check things carefully. | 13:20 |
| effie_jayx | there is no debian/manpages | 13:21 |
| effie_jayx | nor the likes | 13:21 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Is there any mention of manpages in debian/rules? | 13:21 |
| effie_jayx | ther is a docs/man | 13:21 |
| persia | effie_jayx: That's upstream manpages though. | 13:22 |
| effie_jayx | let me check | 13:22 |
| persia | Errr.. maybe. Is it debian/docs/man? Also, what does debian/rules do with docs/man? | 13:22 |
| effie_jayx | no | 13:22 |
| effie_jayx | it is upstream doc | 13:23 |
| effie_jayx | not in debian | 13:23 |
| effie_jayx | let me get you the bit that rules says | 13:23 |
| effie_jayx | http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/46217/ <--- rules bit that mentions manpages | 13:24 |
| effie_jayx | this debian rules usas debhelper | 13:24 |
| === asac_ is now known as asac | ||
| persia | effie_jayx: That's a really annoying way for it to be done: the packager is updating files in debian/ in debian/rules. By my reading, it should grab any section 1 manpages in debian/ and stick them in the binary package, making your edit easier. On the other hand, I think this is broken packaging, and recommend manually creating debian/ghc6.manpages containing the suggested line to make this explicit and clear. | 13:26 |
| persia | For extra points, manually expand debian/*.1 to include the specific manpages to be installed. | 13:27 |
| effie_jayx | ok | 13:28 |
| effie_jayx | I haven't the expretice to do this ... is there any doc that can help me? | 13:28 |
| * persia looks for a second opinion that this is really broken packaging, as otherwise effie_jayx will be performing unnecessary work | 13:28 | |
| effie_jayx | persia, I have a knack for getting tough stuff, don't I | 13:29 |
| effie_jayx | ? | 13:29 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Other than the dh_installman man page, I don't know of any docs for how to make it work. It's just creating a text file, and altering the rules to not overwrite the text file during the build. | 13:29 |
| RainCT | hi | 13:29 |
| persia | hey RainCT | 13:30 |
| effie_jayx | persia, I read the man page... and it does not tell me how to do it... it tells me the rationale behind it.. but not how it works... | 13:30 |
| effie_jayx | is it just me doing.... dh_installmanpage manpage.1 <sourcedirectory>? | 13:31 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Yeah: debhelper manpages can be opaque. There's the source as the ultimate origin of behaviour description: it's just a perl script. | 13:31 |
| effie_jayx | persia, ok | 13:31 |
| effie_jayx | I am checking man debhelper | 13:31 |
| persia | effie_jayx: dh_installmanpages is deprecated. Please use dh_installman. If you run it without arguments, it collects arguments from debian/package.manpages (debian/ghc6.manpages in this case) | 13:31 |
| effie_jayx | ok | 13:32 |
| effie_jayx | it was a typo | 13:33 |
| effie_jayx | persia, you mentioned broken packaging... | 13:34 |
| effie_jayx | what should I do then... | 13:35 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Right. I think it's inappropriate to alter the contents of debian/ (excepting the build directories) at build-time. This is done by auto-generating debian/ghc6.manpages (which I believe should be a static file). On the other hand, I don't know that this is policy: it may only be my opinion. | 13:35 |
| effie_jayx | I follow you opinion | 13:36 |
| persia | effie_jayx: For minimal adjustment, just copy your manpage to debian/ and everything should work. If you think I'm right, you could edit debian/rules to not do that, and hand-generate debian/ghc6.manpages. | 13:36 |
| effie_jayx | persia, I don't know what to put in debian rules to stop the autogeneration, is it just removing something | 13:38 |
| persia | effie_jayx: OK. Are you familar with shell scripting and make files? | 13:38 |
| effie_jayx | no | 13:38 |
| persia | Hmm... That makes it trickier then :) Are you willing to follow a detour? | 13:38 |
| effie_jayx | sure | 13:39 |
| soren | persia: AFAIK, there's not really any policy about what may or may not happen (within reason) during the build. The policy says that debian/rules should be a makefile with a few mandatory targets, and then it says something about what the resulting deb should be like. Anything in between is grey area. | 13:39 |
| persia | OK. Let me find a couple resources. | 13:39 |
| soren | There a conventions that new packages should uphold and such, but no actual policy afaik. | 13:39 |
| persia | soren: That matches my understanding of policy. What's your opinion about debian/rules creating debhelper helper files? | 13:39 |
| soren | persia: Such as? | 13:39 |
| soren | persia: Oh, .install, .docs and such? | 13:40 |
| persia | soren: "echo debian/*.1 > debian/ghc6.manpages" in debian/rules | 13:40 |
| persia | Right. | 13:40 |
| soren | I might frown, but that's it. | 13:40 |
| persia | soren: Would you think it worth fixing if working on the package anyway? | 13:41 |
| soren | I wouldn't reject anything based on that. Were it a new package, I would tell the person who did it that it might cause people to be surprised, which is bad, but in itself, I don't consider it a problem. | 13:41 |
| soren | persia: I wouldn't carry a delta because of that, no. | 13:42 |
| maiatoday | as a test to try to get my head around pacaging python I tried running the setup.py install for my python package but it doesn't work due to some missing modules it seems. This has to be fixed before I can package? | 13:42 |
| persia | soren: Thanks for the second opinion. | 13:42 |
| soren | persia: any time. | 13:42 |
| soren | maiatoday: That's what build-depends are for. | 13:42 |
| soren | maiatoday: Most programs have certain requirement that need to be fulfilled for them to be able to build properly. We put them in debian/control and the various tools will make sure they're installed when we try to build the package. | 13:43 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Just add the manpage to debian/ and check to make sure it works, and don't attempt to fix debian/rules. For an understanding of what echo debian/*.1 > debian/ghc6.manpages", http://steve-parker.org/sh/bourne.shtml may be helpful. | 13:43 |
| maiatoday | I have all build depends installed, if I run the script in the subdirectory I untarzipped it it works fine but it isn't installed in the system | 13:44 |
| effie_jayx | persia, I think I can read what it does | 13:44 |
| maiatoday | so looking at the setup.py it seems to have some modules missing which are part of the app | 13:44 |
| soren | maiatoday: Oh, when you install the package afterwards, you don't get the right packages pulled in? Is that it? | 13:44 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Now I'm confused. My apologies if I misinterpreted "I don't know what to put in debian rules to stop the autogeneration". | 13:45 |
| maiatoday | I tried doind a install from the unzipped dir before packaging | 13:45 |
| maiatoday | so as better to understand what the rules should be doing in the first place | 13:45 |
| Riddell | Hobbsee: have you poked geser about scons? | 13:45 |
| persia | scons is broken again ? | 13:45 |
| effie_jayx | persia, mmm... ok no problem... I shall fetch another bug and lay this one to sleep | 13:46 |
| Hobbsee | Riddell: i did a while ago, he said OK, then did nothing | 13:46 |
| maiatoday | soren: so yes the not all .py modules provided by the developer are in the setup.py | 13:46 |
| Hobbsee | Riddell: is it poke-about-main-merges-day? | 13:46 |
| soren | maiatoday: Ok, that's what Depends are for :) | 13:47 |
| effie_jayx | jdong, ping | 13:47 |
| soren | maiatoday: You need to look at the documentation of the software and see which python modules it needs and add them to debian/control under the package's "Depends:" field. | 13:47 |
| Riddell | Hobbsee: I'm in that sort of a mood yes | 13:48 |
| jdong | effie_jayx: yep? | 13:48 |
| Hobbsee | Riddell: i see. well, feel free to merge scons, if you're feeling in a masochistic mood. | 13:48 |
| effie_jayx | jdong, could you look at this for a sec... it is the contents for the debian/rules manpage section http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/46217/ | 13:48 |
| effie_jayx | jdong, how could I include my man page | 13:49 |
| jdong | effie_jayx: I'm about to head out to class, perhaps someone else can review for you | 13:49 |
| persia | effie_jayx: You just need to copy it to debian/ : it will get collected automatically (because debian/ghc6.manpages collects debian/*.1) | 13:49 |
| effie_jayx | ok... | 13:49 |
| effie_jayx | persia, but the autogeneration won't block it | 13:50 |
| effie_jayx | ? | 13:50 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Let's look at this step-by-step. What does the autogenerated ghc6.manpages contain? | 13:50 |
| effie_jayx | two manpage entries... dhc and dhci | 13:51 |
| effie_jayx | is that what you meant? | 13:51 |
| maiatoday | sorry for being thick soren, I already found the depend packages for the app and added to depends, things like gnome-python etc what I am talking about is the app consist of multiple developer written .py modules and I if I try to install it doesn't put them where the main script can see them | 13:51 |
| persia | maiatoday: That's a different issue. You may have to temporarily set an alternate search path, or otherwise patch setup.py. | 13:52 |
| soren | maiatoday: Oh.. I guess I'm the one being thick :) | 13:52 |
| persia | effie_jayx: OK. Now, how does it determine which files to list there? | 13:52 |
| maiatoday | Mmm maybe this is too big a task for a first one ... | 13:53 |
| effie_jayx | persia, I haven't found any .1 files nor the like... can't really tell | 13:53 |
| persia | effie_jayx: OK. Looking at debian/rules again, what happens before the autogeneration? | 13:53 |
| effie_jayx | persia, link to a source library? | 13:54 |
| persia | effie_jayx: I think you're going too far above. Let's go through the pastbin together. | 13:55 |
| effie_jayx | ahh ok | 13:55 |
| persia | What's line 3 do? | 13:55 |
| effie_jayx | it takes each m (manpage??) in ghc or ghci and generates a manpage in debian/ | 13:57 |
| effie_jayx | ? | 13:57 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Close enough (it actually appears to generate man links, but that's not important). | 13:58 |
| persia | Now, what does line 4 do? | 13:58 |
| effie_jayx | moves the contents in debian/tmp/usr/man/man1/ghc.1 to debian/ghc6.1 | 14:00 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Right (creating another manpage). How about line 5? | 14:00 |
| effie_jayx | copies the file in utils/hp2ps/hp2ps.1 to debian/hp2ps-ghc6.1 | 14:01 |
| persia | Yep (creating yet another manpage). So, what does line 6 put in gch6.manpages (roughly)? | 14:02 |
| effie_jayx | it grabs all the *.1 files in debian/ | 14:02 |
| persia | So, when dh_installman runs, what happens? | 14:02 |
| effie_jayx | it builds the manpages in the directory | 14:04 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Right. So, if you wanted to get an extra entry into ghc6.manpages, what's the easiest way to get it there? | 14:04 |
| effie_jayx | leave it in debian/ | 14:04 |
| effie_jayx | like you said | 14:04 |
| effie_jayx | and know I know why | 14:04 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Now, for the last bit: check the clean: rule. If the manpages are being deleted, you'll need to name your manpage so as not to be deleted, and add a copy statement to the manpage collection portion. | 14:05 |
| persia | Does anyone know if CC-BY-SA 2.5 is GPLv2 compatible? I know CC-BY-SA 3.0 is GPLv3 compatible, but don't remember when things changed. | 14:09 |
| effie_jayx | persia, rm -f debian/*.1 in the clean section | 14:09 |
| effie_jayx | so no problem there | 14:09 |
| effie_jayx | it'll erase the manpage... | 14:10 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Except that it would delete your manpage if you named it debian/mymanpage.1, and so it wouldn't be there later :) | 14:10 |
| persia | You'll want to give it a name like executablefile.man, and then mv debian/executablefile.man debian/executablefile.1 in the manpage aggregation section. | 14:11 |
| effie_jayx | ok | 14:11 |

| geser | effie_jayx: which arch are you on? | 14:35 |
| effie_jayx | i386 | 14:35 |
| jdong | I think I found a bug in pbuilder-satisfydepends though I don't have time to reproduce | 14:35 |
| geser | effie_jayx: hardy? | 14:35 |
| effie_jayx | geser, my pbuilder is updated for hardy | 14:36 |
| effie_jayx | yes | 14:36 |
| persia | effie_jayx: Odd. I show that built for both gutsy and hardy (and up to date). Is it a versioned dependency? | 14:36 |
| geser | effie_jayx: have you universe enabled inside the pbuilder? | 14:36 |
| effie_jayx | geser, how could Icheck | 14:36 |
| kenkku | I think I'm getting an inch closer to a package :o | 14:36 |
| geser | effie_jayx: the easiest way would be to login into the pbuilder and check /etc/apt/sources.list | 14:37 |
| jdong | soren: if you have a chance, can you confirm bug 125107 with the default Hardy pbuilder-satisfydepends variant too? | 14:37 |

| jdong | soren: I had the default dummy variant say it can't satisfy a depends because "it's a virtual package" but the old slow method did it fine | 14:38 |
| persia | jdong: Some people would say that was a bug in the package, and that the package should prefer a real package, and only have the virtual package as a backup. | 14:38 |
| soren | persia: And I would agree with them. | 14:40 |
| jdong | lol ok, it's PEBKAC on my side then ;-) | 14:41 |
| jdong | slomo: just the man I needed.... | 14:41 |
| persia | jdong: Perhaps not. Last I know that was still a bug against debian policy, and hadn't been included yet. Still :) | 14:41 |
| soren | Otherwise the resulting build depends on whichever implementation of the virtual package the dependency resolver chooses to go with, which is quite undefined. | 14:41 |

| ScottK | maiatoday: Did you get your setup.py problem sorted out? | 14:51 |
| maiatoday | ScottK: not yet, I'm messing with it and I have also mailed the developer | 14:52 |
| ScottK | maiatoday: From reading the scrollback, it's not clear you did all the steps for a normal setup.py installation. | 14:52 |
| ScottK | maiatoday: First you have to run python setup.py build | 14:52 |
| maiatoday | aah maybe that will help me, I am also learning python, yes I did setup.py build | 14:53 |
| ScottK | maiatoday: Then you have to run python setup.py install. | 14:53 |
| maiatoday | yes that's what I did | 14:53 |
| ScottK | maiatoday: The install has to run as root (sudo) | 14:53 |
| ScottK | OK | 14:53 |
| ScottK | From the scrollback I missed that you'd built it. | 14:53 |
| maiatoday | OK I'll wipe things and try again, I didn't say so explicitly | 14:53 |
| maiatoday | I am reading docs on distributing python modules at docs.python.org | 14:54 |
| ScottK | Also if you run python setup.py it should give you all the options you can run it with. Perhaps something there is needed. | 14:54 |
| ScottK | maiatoday: Good luck. They're a bit thin IIRC. | 14:54 |
| maiatoday | I have added all modules to setup.py now it feels better about the modules but it is moaning about glade and icons and there is no data_files bit in the setup.py | 14:55 |

| norsetto | oh right, was joining #ubuntu-meetings ;-) | 17:18 |
| ScottK | norsetto: I mentioned your Debian RFS to POX_ on #debian-python and he said he'd have a look at it this weekend. You might want to hang out there (on OFTC). | 17:18 |
| norsetto | ScottK: sure, thanks for that | 17:18 |
| ScottK | norsetto: No trouble. I'm pleased you're taking the trouble to push stuff back up into Debian. | 17:19 |
| norsetto | scottk: most probably debichem will take it on board too | 17:19 |
| nxvl_work | norsetto: the bootcd DM write to me, i have updated the bug #165030 | 17:19 |

| ScottK | OK. Well discuss it with POX_ about who should sponsor. | 17:20 |
| norsetto | nxvl_work: yeah, I just looked at it, seems the debdiff is against your. dsc not the ubuntu one :-) | 17:20 |
| LaserJock | norsetto: welcome to debichem ;-) | 17:21 |
| norsetto | LaserJock: heya | 17:21 |
| nxvl_work | oh! yes, i forget where the original one was | 17:21 |
| nxvl_work | making a new one | 17:22 |
| norsetto | LaserJock: I didn't know you were in debichem :-) | 17:22 |
| POX_ | norsetto: how about this: gelemental in debichem and pyelemental in DPMT? | 17:22 |
| proppy | what is debichem ? | 17:22 |
| POX_ | http://debichem.alioth.debian.org/ | 17:23 |
| proppy | found it | 17:23 |
| nxvl_work | norsetto: done | 17:23 |
| proppy | hop fixed python-biopython will get into it :) | 17:23 |
| norsetto | POX_: the only problem is that pyelemental depends on libelemental-dev, so they have to keep a version sync | 17:23 |
| norsetto | POX_: if that is possible with these packages being in two teams, I have no problem of course | 17:24 |
| POX_ | they're two separate source packages, right? | 17:24 |
| norsetto | POX_: yes | 17:25 |
| POX_ | well, we can only take pyelemental so if you want to keep them together, choose debichem | 17:25 |
| POX_ | but we know more about python then debichem ;-P | 17:25 |
| norsetto | POX_: I can imagine :-) | 17:26 |
| norsetto | POX_: can you talk with Daniel Leidert about it? If it works to have the two in two separate teams I'm for it | 17:28 |
| POX_ | I didn't look at them yet, but if they're two separate source pacakges, I don't see a problem | 17:33 |
| POX_ | it's up to you where do you want to keep your package | 17:33 |
| LaserJock | norsetto: I am indeed, although I haven't contributed all that much | 17:33 |
| norsetto | POX_: for me, as long as they are in Debian, I'm happy | 17:34 |
| nxvl_work | ScottK: why it isn't any TODO on the MOTU/Python team? | 17:37 |
| ScottK | nxvl_work: Because there isn't a lot of actual doing going on. It's more of a dive in and work on what you feel like. Also because ajmitch and I are both pretty bitter. | 17:37 |
| nxvl_work | mm | 17:39 |
| nxvl_work | ok | 17:39 |
| norsetto | POX_: I need to talk with Daniel anyhow tonight; I expect he doesn't particularly want to deal with a python binding package himself, in that case I'll be happy if you can consider it for your team | 17:39 |

| POX_ | I will be leaving office soon (10h is enough for today) and my motherboard burned so I cannot take a look at your package today | 17:57 |

| === apachelogger_ is now known as apachelogger | ||
| Kmos | somerville32: thanks | 18:04 |
| somerville32 | afflux, Ok, lets go through your package | 18:07 |
| somerville32 | +XSBC-Original-Maintainer: Kjell Braden <fnord@pentabarf.de> <-- Not needed. | 18:09 |
| afflux | somerville32: I think *something* complained, when I removed it, but I'm not very sure. | 18:10 |
| somerville32 | dh_installdocs changelog.gz <-- Changelog isn't a doc :P | 18:11 |
| afflux | somerville32: okay, so just dh_install? | 18:13 |
| somerville32 | I assume you added that because of Persia's statement about the upstream changelog not being installed | 18:13 |
| afflux | correct | 18:13 |
| somerville32 | Use dh_installchangelogs | 18:14 |
| afflux | somerville32: does the changelog has to be gzip compressed then? | 18:15 |
| somerville32 | The changelog is already gzip compressed it appears from upstream | 18:16 |
| somerville32 | Just use dh_installchangelogs to install the changelog | 18:16 |
| afflux | somerville32: okay. about the original-maintainer thing: should I just ignore "dpkg-source: warning: Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but there is no XSBC-Original-Maintainer field"? | 18:18 |
| somerville32 | afflux, Correct. | 18:18 |
| === ogra1 is now known as ogra | ||
| afflux | somerville32: should I upload a fixed package right now? | 18:21 |
| somerville32 | afflux, not yet. Still slowly looking at it | 18:21 |
| afflux | somerville32: no hurry ;) | 18:22 |
| LaserJock | dholbach: six months? | 18:22 |
| dholbach | LaserJock: hum | 18:23 |
| LaserJock | dholbach: sorry, Mark's comment in -meeting. It used to be 2 months of contribution | 18:24 |
| geser | then it has tripled since I applied for membership (it was 2 months back at that time (which is only little over a year back)) | 18:25 |
| imbrandon | geser: same here | 18:25 |
| LaserJock | methinks Mark make a mistake or something | 18:26 |
| * somerville32 doesn't think so. | 18:27 | |
| somerville32 | afflux, There is a problem with your debian/control :) | 18:27 |
| geser | somerville32: do you know when it changed? I don't follow CC meetings regularly | 18:28 |
| somerville32 | geser, No but it make sense to me that the time will be increases the project grows. | 18:28 |
| LaserJock | why? | 18:28 |
| LaserJock | if it took 2 months of sustained involvement back then it should take 2 months now | 18:28 |
| somerville32 | Ubuntu was smaller then | 18:29 |
| LaserJock | why does that make a difference? | 18:29 |
| LaserJock | that would just be punishing people who came later | 18:29 |
| somerville32 | Universities used to let you redo courses now they don't tend to | 18:29 |
| somerville32 | It is the credibility of the ubuntu membership | 18:30 |
| geser | somerville32: afaik it's possible to become a motu in less than 6 months | 18:30 |
| LaserJock | that doesn't make any sense to me | 18:30 |
| LaserJock | 2 months for memeber, 3 months for MOTU, that should work fine | 18:30 |
| afflux | somerville32: what kind of problem? | 18:30 |
| LaserJock | if people take longer fine | 18:31 |
| LaserJock | but it should be doable | 18:31 |
| somerville32 | afflux, You need a XS-Python-Version ad XB-Python-Version | 18:31 |
| afflux | somerville32: /usr/share/doc/python-support/README.gz line 40-42 tells different | 18:31 |
| * somerville32 goes to look | 18:32 | |
| geser | XS-P-V and XB-P-V is only used by python-central, python-support doesn't need it | 18:32 |
| somerville32 | Yea, that just started to dawn on me | 18:33 |
| somerville32 | afflux, Looks fine to me | 18:33 |
| afflux | somerville32: okay, uploading | 18:34 |
| somerville32 | I meant the source, I haven't tried building it yet | 18:34 |
| somerville32 | Although I think pysupport is a build-dep and not a build-dep-indep | 18:35 |
| afflux | somerville32: that was from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy: "Add a Build-Depends (or Build-Depends-Indep if the package is arch: all) on python-support (>= 0.5.3)." | 18:36 |
| somerville32 | Alright. I just brought that up because p-s/README.gz had said build-dep | 18:37 |
| kenkku | where can I find information on how the version numbering goes in the ubuntu repositories? I can see things like package-1.0.0-0ubuntu1 | 18:49 |
| somerville32 | afflux, +1 | 18:53 |
| somerville32 | kenkku, <packagename.version>-<debian revision><ubuntu revision> | 18:54 |
| afflux | somerville32: thanks. It's uploaded as http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=787 | 18:54 |
| geser | kenkku: I don't rememeber if we have a page for it, but it's not difficult: -XubuntuY where X is the debian revision (0 if there is no Debian package for this package or version yet) and Y the Ubuntu revision (starting at 1) | 18:54 |
| effie_jayx | thepumpkin_w, sup | 18:55 |
| kenkku | thank you geser and somerville32 | 18:56 |
| maiatoday | why would one choose to use python-support rather than python-central or vice versa? | 18:57 |
| geser | maiatoday: personal preference | 18:58 |
| thepumpkin_w | effie_jayx: everything is fine. i'm preparing some content. | 18:58 |
| maiatoday | :) thanks | 18:58 |
| thepumpkin_w | what about you? | 18:58 |

| effie_jayx | I have to install as well right? | 19:35 |
| geser | effie_jayx: what are building? | 19:35 |
| effie_jayx | geser, that ghc6 packages with a manpage fix | 19:35 |
| effie_jayx | I would like to see if the manpage is taken correctly | 19:36 |
| effie_jayx | there is a script in the manpages section in debian/rules that was making really confusing the whole thing | 19:36 |
| effie_jayx | so I just wanna be sure | 19:36 |
| geser | effie_jayx: you build should finish soon (the buildds needed around 2h) | 19:37 |
| effie_jayx | I learned ALOT with this bug | 19:37 |
| geser | that's good | 19:38 |
| effie_jayx | thank you guys | 19:40 |

| Kmos | someone knows why soren changed the dependency when it builds fine in hardy pbuilder ? | 21:03 |
| norsetto | kmos: libbluetooth2-dev is a virtual package (provided by libbluetooth-dev) | 21:04 |
| Kmos | so there is no reason to continue to do merge of gnokii | 21:05 |
| ajmitch | wasn't this just covered in -devel? | 21:05 |
| Kmos | ajmitch: yes.. but i want to make sure with motu's =) | 21:05 |
| Kmos | and because soren does an upload to hardy recently and changed again the build-depends | 21:06 |
| Kmos | I see that after the -devel discussion | 21:06 |
| ajmitch | and it's definitely a good idea to build-depend against the real package - I can't recall if it'll even work on the buildds against a virtual package | 21:06 |
| ajmitch | so yes, soren was right | 21:07 |
| Kmos | hmm.. | 21:07 |
| Kmos | i can send it to PPA to test | 21:07 |
| imbrandon | ello ajmitch and norsetto | 21:08 |
| * imbrandon yawns | 21:08 | |
| slangasek | ajmitch: yes, building against a virtual package has always worked; it's just wrong if the virtual package has more than one provider because you have no guarantee of which one gets picked | 21:09 |
| norsetto | hiya imbradon, nice color of the higher intestine | 21:09 |
| imbrandon | norsetto: huh? | 21:09 |

| slangasek | StevenK: you mean for alpha-1? | 21:10 |
| StevenK | slangasek: Right | 21:10 |
| slangasek | StevenK: yes, go away :) | 21:10 |
| StevenK | Haha | 21:10 |
| imbrandon | uploads of things that arent supose to be on the cd should be "OK" in this self imposed freeze correct ? | 21:11 |
| slangasek | imbrandon: yes | 21:11 |
| imbrandon | k, just double checking | 21:11 |
| StevenK | slangasek: It impacts video playback for pretty much everyone, though... | 21:11 |
| imbrandon | StevenK: bluez-utils does ? | 21:11 |
| slangasek | ... | 21:13 |
| StevenK | imbrandon: Right, it installs a sink at too high a priority | 21:13 |
| imbrandon | ummm errm ok | 21:14 |
| StevenK | slangasek: Sorry, I'm on the phone, but trying to deal with this | 21:14 |
| slangasek | StevenK: the standard for alpha-1 is "can boot it, can install it, hard drive doesn't catch on fire." I think you can see that video playback is a lower priority. | 21:14 |
| Kmos | StevenK: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/SupplementaryFiles -> .desktop file fails validation: | 21:15 |
| Kmos | StevenK: the command doesn't work | 21:15 |

| Kmos | StevenK: or it's supposed to show only the ones that fails validation.. | 21:15 |
| StevenK | slangasek: Okay, then I'll fix it, but not upload it | 21:15 |
| Kmos | and not the warnings/errors | 21:15 |

| imbrandon | ahhh ok, i thought you did gutsy and it was changed every release, not that i care, just curious :) | 21:16 |
| slangasek | imbrandon: that's not actually been the /intent/, that's just how it's worked out historically :) | 21:16 |
| Kmos | StevenK: forget.. i'm thinking in another type of function.. like to show the errors/warnings from desktop-file-validation | 21:16 |

| StevenK | Kmos: I'm a little busy right now | 21:16 |

| Kmos | StevenK: np =) | 21:18 |
| imbrandon | after one or two and the processes are smoothed i'm sure the previous experinces makes it easier | 21:19 |
| slangasek | one hopes. :) | 21:19 |
| * imbrandon gets back to the weatherreport | 21:19 | |
| StevenK | Kmos: Now, explain the problem to me, in small words. | 21:24 |
| Kmos | StevenK: i thought the script was wrong.. but it reports only the files that have problems and not the output of desktop-file-validate.. there isn't a problem with it =) | 21:27 |
| * RainCT is still wondering why «dpkg-source -x» sometimes doesn't do anything until I Ctrl+C and try again, with Debian packages | 21:28 | |

| effie_jayx | norsetto, I apply the patch | 22:23 |

| RainCT | TheMuso: because it's using no patch system, so the patch there isn't being applied | 22:54 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: Do you need helpin getting dpatch working | 22:55 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: I've a new debdiff where I apply that patch directly to the source ready, but I'm trying to pbuild it before I attach it | 22:55 |
| norsetto | ok, I better go to bed | 22:55 |
| RainCT | good night norsetto :) | 22:56 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: IMO, a patch that big should not be applied inline in the .diff.gz. A patch system is much better and safer. | 22:56 |
| norsetto | rainct: g'night (and listen to TheMuso :-)) | 22:56 |
| nxvl_work | did the tribe 1 iso is somewhere to download it? | 22:57 |
| RainCT | nxvl_work: afaik it's not ready yet | 22:57 |
| RainCT | ah tribe 1 | 22:57 |
| nxvl_work | RainCT: on the release shedule it says it will be up today | 22:58 |
| slangasek | https://iso.qa.stgraber.org/qatracker/build/All for anyone who'd like to help test alpha 1 ISOs | 22:58 |
| RainCT | is it also called tribe for hardy? | 22:58 |
| nxvl_work | it also called tribe for every version i think | 22:58 |
| effie_jayx | no | 22:58 |
| slangasek | no | 22:58 |
| imbrandon | no | 22:58 |
| slangasek | it's called "alpha" | 22:58 |
| TheMuso | Which IMO makes more sense. | 22:59 |
| effie_jayx | a tribe is for primates | 22:59 |
| * RainCT thinks that it was "herd" previously | 22:59 | |
| imbrandon | its been alot of things | 22:59 |
| StevenK | It's been multiple things, it changed for every release | 22:59 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: You also need to resolve a conflict in src/ebview.c | 22:59 |
| effie_jayx | it'll be a flock again | 22:59 |
| effie_jayx | since it flies | 22:59 |
| Fujitsu | effie_jayx: No it won't, but `again'? | 23:00 |
| TheMuso | urm sorry you probably did that | 23:00 |
| imbrandon | ugh, i hate when you find usefull patches for software AFTER you just make a major update | 23:00 |
| nxvl_work | it was funny to see 3 "no"'s one after the other | 23:00 |
| effie_jayx | Fujitsu, sorry I made a mistake ... I remember edgy being flight... | 23:00 |
| effie_jayx | not flock | 23:00 |
| effie_jayx | nooo it was dapper | 23:00 |
| nxvl_work | well | 23:00 |
| Fujitsu | Newts don't fly too well. | 23:01 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: Debian applied the same fix as Ubuntu there | 23:01 |
| RainCT | (but commenting with // instead of /* */) | 23:01 |
| nxvl_work | it is alpha 1 iso up there to download it or do i need to install gutsy and upgrade it? | 23:01 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: Right. | 23:01 |
| imbrandon | 17:58 < slangasek> https://iso.qa.stgraber.org/qatracker/build/All for anyone who'd like to help test alpha 1 ISOs | 23:01 |
| imbrandon | nxvl_work: ^^ | 23:01 |
| somerville32 | On DaD, some are marked as No need to sync. Why? | 23:01 |
| nxvl_work | oh! | 23:01 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: what's the problem then? should I note that on the bug report? | 23:02 |
| nxvl_work | i didn't see that | 23:02 |
| nxvl_work | :( | 23:02 |
| imbrandon | :P | 23:02 |
| effie_jayx | i just finished the building of the package with pbuilder... :D. what next... I install ? | 23:02 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: The only problem I see so far, is that there is no patch system set up to make the patch apply. | 23:02 |
| slangasek | nxvl_work: note that these are still the images for /testing/ prior to posting them as an alpha | 23:03 |
| Lutin | somerville32: usually means that the debian changes are not worth merging | 23:03 |
| TheMuso | Just including the patch like you did is not going to work. | 23:03 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: so you think it's better to add dpatch then directly patching? | 23:03 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: (for Debian, the bug is already reported and a link the the patch provided) | 23:03 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: Considering how big the patch is, and that it touches more than one file, yes I do. | 23:03 |
| nxvl_work | slangasek: i will install it on a VM only for testing purposes | 23:03 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: ok | 23:03 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: When is debian likely to include the patch? | 23:03 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: the bug report received no answer yet | 23:04 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: How old is the report? | 23:04 |
| crimsun | imbrandon: jordan, you, and barry comprise the trinity. | 23:04 |
| imbrandon | crimsun: ahhh okies , couldent quite rember :) | 23:05 |
| Kmos | RainCT: can you try to finish vips package to upload it.. so nip2 can be synced after that :-)) | 23:05 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: 08 Nov 2007 | 23:05 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: Ah ok, so its not that old. | 23:05 |
| imbrandon | crimsun: so i guess Laserjock was correct :) | 23:05 |
| somerville32 | Lutin, Why not do it anyhow? | 23:06 |
| * RainCT wonders if it wouldn't be better to just sync and let the patch enter when Debian includes it, as it doesn't seem to be anything really important, TheMuso | 23:06 | |
| TheMuso | RainCT: Well if you are up to adding the patch system and making sure the patch does apply, I'd say we go ahead, and we add a bug watch for the Debian bug, so we know when we can get it synced. | 23:06 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: okay then | 23:06 |
| RainCT | Kmos: I've that one pending :). you are not looking at it, or? | 23:07 |
| Kmos | RainCT: no.. just waiting for you :p | 23:07 |
| Lutin | somerville32: because merging for 'change my email adress' or 'orphaning this package' debian uploads is just pointless ? | 23:07 |
| RainCT | Kmos: okay. what was missing there? just checking if new debian version works? | 23:07 |
| Lutin | somerville32: or in some case, if the debian upload fixes only a part of the ubuntu changes ... no real point merging either | 23:08 |
| Kmos | RainCT: i need version .5 of vips to have nip2 synced.. just waiting you to finish the debdiff | 23:08 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: On the other hand, if you are happy to wait for the update in Debian, we'll sync then. However, if its not done in a month or so, I'd say we merge. | 23:09 |
| effie_jayx | after one is done building a package with pbuilder .. what does one do next? I install it? | 23:10 |
| TheMuso | effie_jayx: Yes, install it in the version of Ubuntu that its meant for. I would then test the fix you have applied to ensure it works. | 23:11 |
| effie_jayx | TheMuso, how can I do this | 23:11 |
| effie_jayx | I am running gutsy and the pacage is for hardy | 23:11 |
| effie_jayx | package | 23:11 |
| effie_jayx | what do I install? | 23:12 |
| TheMuso | effie_jayx: You need a hardy chroot of some sort. | 23:12 |
| TheMuso | SOme people use pbuilder, but how they do so, I don't know. | 23:12 |
| effie_jayx | TheMuso, the file I use to install... is it a .deb? | 23:12 |
| TheMuso | Yes it is. | 23:13 |
| effie_jayx | i don't see one in the folder... | 23:14 |
| effie_jayx | now I am confused | 23:14 |
| effie_jayx | TheMuso, Thanks | 23:14 |
| TheMuso | effie_jayx: THe debs appear in /var/cache/pbuilder/result unless settings have been changed | 23:14 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: I've followed this http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ap-pkg-eg.en.html but I get «No rule to make target `clean-patched', needed by `clean'» | 23:14 |
| effie_jayx | ok | 23:15 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: You following the dpatch example? | 23:15 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: yep | 23:15 |
| TheMuso | RainCT: Actually, I would advise just reading the dpatch and dpatch.mk manpages. | 23:16 |
| TheMuso | Sorry, just the dpatch manpage. | 23:16 |
| TheMuso | ah its dpatch.make | 23:16 |
| TheMuso | The dpatch.make manpage gives you info on how to make use of it. | 23:17 |
| * RainCT is pbuilding | 23:20 | |
| imbrandon | hrm /win 21 | 23:26 |
| effie_jayx | I need to test a package for hardy... I am using gutsy... what can I use... | 23:28 |
| jdong | effie_jayx: your pbuilder as a chroot | 23:29 |
| jdong | i.e. the login command | 23:29 |
| effie_jayx | jdong, how can I use the .deb file in that environment | 23:29 |
| jdong | effie_jayx: you need to set a --bindmounts /some/shared/dir and then that path will be available inside your chroot | 23:29 |
| effie_jayx | ok cool | 23:30 |
| effie_jayx | let me give it a try | 23:30 |
| RainCT | TheMuso: I've replaced the debdiff in bug 172922 | 23:32 |

| effie_jayx | jdong, where do they get mounted? | 23:33 |
| effie_jayx | same path? | 23:33 |
| nxvl_work | RAOF: ping | 23:34 |
| effie_jayx | jdong, nevermind... smane path | 23:34 |
| RainCT | good night :) | 23:35 |
| RAOF | nxvl_work: Pong? | 23:40 |
| nxvl_work | RAOF: did you mind if i merge apt-proxy? or you want to do it? | 23:41 |
| effie_jayx | ok | 23:44 |
| effie_jayx | I tested the package | 23:44 |
| effie_jayx | what next | 23:44 |
| effie_jayx | make debdiff and upload | 23:45 |
| === RAOF_ is now known as RAOF | ||
| RAOF | Let's try that one again. nxvl_work: pong? | 23:50 |
| somerville32 | [19:40] <nxvl_work> RAOF: did you mind if i merge apt-proxy? or you want to do it? | 23:51 |

| effie_jayx | I know I have to assign the bug to someone... | 23:54 |
| effie_jayx | but who? | 23:54 |
| somerville32 | No, don 't assign | 23:55 |
| somerville32 | Is ghc6 a universe package? | 23:55 |
| somerville32 | If so, subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors | 23:55 |
| nxvl_work | effie_jayx: at your left it is a menu entry "suscribe someone else" get in there and suscribe the ubuntu-universe-sponsors | 23:56 |
| nxvl_work | effie_jayx: then assign the bug to no one and change status to confirmed | 23:57 |
| effie_jayx | nxvl_work, should I change importance? | 23:58 |
| effie_jayx | it sas wishlist | 23:58 |
| nxvl_work | effie_jayx: you can't | 23:59 |
| effie_jayx | ok | 23:59 |
| nxvl_work | and you don't need to change it, just leave it the way it is | 23:59 |
