tormodbryce,  I am looking at auto-xorg-git now, will merge in my branch stuff20:27
brycehi tormod20:27
brycetormod: I did some additional work on it since, let me send an updated version20:28
tormodok great20:28
bryceI got it (sort of) working for libs and protos too20:28
tormoddo you need debian-unstable for most packages, instead of debian-experimental?20:28
bryceyeah20:28
tormodsounds good! I have only tried it on ati, radeonhd, avivo20:29
tormodwhere do you send it?20:30
brycesent20:32
bryceoh to the ubuntu-x@ mailing list20:32
brycemaybe we should think about putting it in git or bzr?20:32
tormodsome of the git commands were wrong, maybe that's why you needed -experimental?20:32
bryceoh?20:32
brycewell, all the packages I was looking at were in unstable, not experimental.20:33
tormodfor instance, git pull . $DEBIANREPO -> should be "upstream-head" defined in the fetch above20:33
brycefor drivers I can imagine experimental is more valuable20:33
tormodbefore I knew git, I didn't know where these labels came from etc20:34
bryceah, yeah I could have been wrong there20:34
tormodI was wrong, you just copied it :)20:34
bryceah, that'd explain it then20:34
bryceyeah I was trying not to louse up your existing logic, assuming it was correct20:34
tormodI'll take a look at the new version, fix up this, and ask you to test, ok?20:34
bryceyeah sounds good20:35
tormodfixing it so it can update, instead of cloning anew all the time would be good also to save time and bandwidth.20:36
bryceagreed20:36
bryceI have some additional ideas to port in from other scripts, but want to wait until you've had a chance to review all this stuff20:37
bryceone of the more recent additions is I did up some code to map debian package names to xorg package names, and to give the directory names in the git tree, so it can figure out where libs are, from drivers, etc.20:38
bryceone thing I'm thinking is that this bit of functionality could be broken out to a standalone tool20:38
bryceit may be of general usefulness to other things, plus would modularize out a large chunk of code from auto-xorg-git20:39
tormodyou're a sh-fu :)20:58
ubotuNew bug: #150846 in xorg (main) "Quit button freezes screen but does not present Log out etc. options dialog" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/15084620:58
brycehehe20:59
tormodbut you don't need both x and "" in: if "x$blabla" =20:59
brycetrue20:59
tormodI think I can see from the indenting and whitespace that you like python :)21:00
bryceI was just trying to debug a string issue there; I think it's safe to eliminate, I figured the issue out21:00
bryceheh, actually that's probably from my perl background21:00
tormodI noticed that "quilt push -a" fails if there are no patches. Not a problem any longer in your version though.21:04
tormodjust interesting21:04
* bryce nods21:04
bryceI wonder also if we need to account for non-quilt patch systems at all21:04
bryceprobably not, but...21:04
brycemaybe later21:04
brycekees has some scripts to detect which patch system is in use.  Perhaps we can incorporate those once things are further along.21:05
tormodtjaalton should know if there's any non-quilt xorg package21:05
tormodI think xsfbs is based on quilt21:06
tormodshould it be 1.0.0~gitXX and not 1.0.0+gitXX ? They are lower resp higher than 1.0.0.21:07
bryceoh, I wasn't sure about that21:07
tormodthat's why one uses new-version~ppa for instance, or ~backports, so they get upgraded when a "real" version is out.21:08
bryceI had been using ~, but am not sure I know the difference21:08
tormodin our case it should upgrade to the newer +git version.21:08
bryceah, gotcha21:09
tormodinterestingly, the debian wiki uses + but they recently released radeonhd 0.0.4~git20071124-121:10
bryceright21:11
tormodsed -i edits inline, I'll try that for the Maintainer21:15
keescookbryce: "what-patch" is part of ubuntu-dev-tools21:21
brycekeescook: ah ok thanks21:21
brycewho maintains ubuntu-dev-tools?21:21
keescookbryce: everyone?  :P21:22
keescookit's in a bzr tree, and so far dholbach has done the uploads21:22
bryceah looks like danial mostly21:22
bryceer, s/a/e/21:22
brycetormod: hey there's an update-maintainer script in ubuntu-dev-tools21:23
brycemaybe we should do up our script with a dependency on ubuntu-dev-tools21:24
tormodaha, I'll install that package then, maybe there's other goodies.21:24
brycepull-debian-debdiff, ppaput, check-symbols look interesting21:26
tormodI would very much like to keep this script running on Debian though. Is there a ubuntu-dev-tools in Debian?21:28
jcristauno21:29
tormodfoot down then :)21:30
keescookI use pull-debian-debdiff all the damn time.  :)22:03
keescook(I wrote it)22:03
tormodbryce, what I said was wrong about git pull was right because I was looking in an old, wrong file. I am getting there.22:20
tormodbryce, now you only run autoreconf if applying debian/patches. But "configure" will be missing otherwise, no?22:21
brycehmm, probably22:22
bryceconfigure.ac would still be there though22:23
bryce(unless the package doesn't use autoconf, but that's a bigger issue)22:23
tormodit's just that I wanted to extract the upstream version somehow. grepping configure was convenient. ideas?22:24
tormodfor now, I'll just run autoreconf in all cases22:24

ubotuNew bug: #173140 in xorg (main) "failsafe X script crashes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/17314022:40
brycetormod: I have some code that looks up the current version via apt-cache madison and parses it down into its parts, however I didn't feel that'd be adequate in this case so much22:43
brycetormod: I also have a web scraper (for the merge status page) that gets it off the fdo site; again I didn't feel that to be viable22:44
tormodbryce: does that give us the upstream version22:44
tormod?22:44
bryceyep22:44
bryceor, at least the version of the last release22:44
brycethe code's in perl not bash though.  Maybe I could break out that bit to use as a standalone tool though22:45
brycelike, have it parse the upstream page and print to stdout a listing of packages -> release versions22:46
ubotuNew bug: #173143 in xorg (main) "hangs on dapper->hardy upgrade" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/17314322:51
tormodis _ good in package versions?22:58
tormodexample 6.7.196+git20071130+atombios_support-0ubuntu0tormod ?22:58
bryceI'm not sure, but I would expect it could cause problems in some scripts23:22
brycebut I can't think of any other good separator character23:22
jcristautormod: the characters allowed in the version number are [A-Za-z0-9.+:-]23:27
tormodjcristau: thanks. there should only be a "-" just before the Debian version right? atombios-support above would be wrong, wouldn't it?23:29
jcristauno, you can have as mant -'s as you want23:30
brycejcristau: and ~ ?23:33
jcristauah, yeah, that too. policy is out of date :)23:33
bryceis : allowed only for epochs or can it be used multiply?23:37
tormodbryce: I posted the new v6 now, time for bed here.23:39
brycecool, I'm going to try setting up a git repo for us; I'll try to test v6 out before the end of the day23:40
tormodjcristau: if you're interested in the script, it should run on Debian now. Are you on ubuntu-x ML?23:40
