| calc | do packages in universe get synced automatically from debian? | 02:25 |
|---|---|---|
| Fujitsu | calc: Yes. | 02:26 |
| Fujitsu | And multiverse, when somebody remembers to do it. | 02:26 |
| Fujitsu | Otherwise we'd have to request tens of thousands of syncs, which would be counter-productive. | 02:26 |
| calc | do new packages get let into universe automatically or do those have to be requested? | 02:27 |
| Fujitsu | The former, although they still have to go through NEW. | 02:27 |
| calc | ok | 02:27 |
| * calc has a bunch of new deps for OOo 2.3.1 | 02:27 | |
| jdong | any archive admins around and looking for stuff to do? I've got cookies.... | 03:15 |
| Hobbsee | depends what it is | 03:17 |
| jdong | x264 got wrongly removed from Hardy | 03:17 |
| jdong | because there was a removal request against Debian for it | 03:17 |
| jdong | since we pull it from debian-multimedia into multiverse, this is irrelevant for us | 03:17 |
| jdong | I'd like to have x264 blacklisted from that autoremove thingie. | 03:18 |
| Hobbsee | there is no autoremove thing | 03:18 |
| jdong | Hobbsee: then why was x264 evicted from Hardy? | 03:19 |
| Hobbsee | because pitti removed it, i expect | 03:20 |
| jdong | hmm :( | 03:20 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: ^^? | 03:20 |
| slangasek | right, removals are never automatic, so this is merely pilot error :) | 03:31 |
| jdong | slangasek: ok, cool. Can I have it back now? :D | 03:37 |
| slangasek | jdong: was it a sync, or was there an Ubuntu delta? | 03:46 |
| crimsun | deltas for every currently supported release except edgy. | 03:46 |
| slangasek | jdong: if it has an Ubuntu delta, I'm afraid the only way is to reupload | 03:47 |
| jdong | slangasek: ok, then I'll reupload. | 03:48 |
| jdong | slangasek: can I keep same version number as last time? | 03:48 |
| slangasek | I would advise changing it, since they'll be distinct binary packages | 03:51 |
| slangasek | and it is a different version than gutsy had? | 03:52 |
| jdong | slangasek: it's the same as the Hardy version that I uploaded 2 weeks ago but was removed | 03:56 |
| jdong | slangasek: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x264/1:0.svn20070930-0.0ubuntu1 | 03:56 |
| jdong | in fact LP still knows about it | 03:56 |
| ScottK | jdong: Is there any harm in incrementing the revision. | 03:58 |
| jdong | ScottK: not at all | 03:58 |
| jdong | if I should just grab that version LP still has archived, and reupload it with a bumped version, I have no objections | 03:59 |
| jdong | I just am making sure tha'ts the right way to do it | 03:59 |
| ScottK | That's what I'd suggest. | 03:59 |
| jdong | worksforme | 03:59 |
| ScottK | jdong: Could you pop into #ubuntu-server? Innatech there is having some trouble with PREVUing a package. | 04:02 |
| jdong | ok, x264 in source NEW | 04:06 |
| * Hobbsee looks at it | 04:07 | |
| Hobbsee | jdong: accepted. | 04:10 |
| * Hobbsee wonders if that will go to main or universe. | 04:11 | |
| khermans | can someone tell me why gcc is installed by default, but not libc-dev? | 04:11 |
| jdong | Hobbsee: thanks. It should go into multiverse | 04:11 |
| khermans | what is the reasoning behind that? | 04:11 |
| Hobbsee | jdong: yeah, but ti'll probably go to main, due to YALPB | 04:11 |
| Hobbsee | hurrah! mail generation works! | 04:11 |
| jdong | whee! instant promotion :D | 04:11 |
| jdong | From: Default Sender <dsilvers@staging.ubuntu.com> | 04:12 |
| jdong | Hobbsee: ^^ not perfectly ;-) | 04:12 |
| Hobbsee | jdong: was that on your accepted mail? | 04:13 |
| Hobbsee | jdong: ah well. *shrug* | 04:13 |
| Hobbsee | unsure where it's supposed to come from | 04:13 |
| jdong | yeah, that's the accepted mail I got | 04:13 |
| Hobbsee | works enough | 04:14 |
| TheMuso | Um, won't that have to get to multiverse sometime soon? | 04:15 |
| jdong | TheMuso: hehe, I was hoping for this to be a shortcut to all of the multimedia stack in main ;-) | 04:15 |
| khermans | so can someone tell me why gcc is installed by default, but not libc-dev??? what C programs would you compile without std C lib dev headers? | 04:15 |
| * khermans is a little confused | 04:16 | |
| Hobbsee | TheMuso: sure, but due to YALPB, it'll probably go to main by default. | 04:16 |
| TheMuso | khermans: I am not entirely sure, but I would say that its installed to allow people to build extra driers if they need them | 04:16 |
| calc | how do i request a package be brought in from debian? | 04:16 |
| calc | if it isn't in hardy at all | 04:16 |
| TheMuso | Hobbsee: YALPB? | 04:16 |
| khermans | TheMuso, so only for linking object code blobs? | 04:16 |
| jdong | TheMuso: yet another LP bug | 04:16 |
| Hobbsee | TheMuso: Yet Another LP bug. | 04:16 |
| Hobbsee | jdong: ^5 | 04:17 |
| TheMuso | ah | 04:17 |
| Hobbsee | calc: in unstable or experimental? | 04:17 |
| Hobbsee | calc: unstable stuff is still getting pulled in normally | 04:17 |
| TheMuso | khermans: Well the kernel headers also get installed, likely enough for people to be able to use driver source to get hardware working. | 04:17 |
| calc | its in unstable and has been a while but still isn't in hardy | 04:17 |
| calc | eg http://packages.qa.debian.org/libx/libxml-java.html | 04:17 |
| Hobbsee | calc: you can file a sync request, but there is a script that does it | 04:18 |
| calc | why hasn't it been synced automatically yet though? | 04:18 |
| Hobbsee | not sure if they've run hte script lately | 04:18 |
| calc | aren't packages supposed to be getting synced automatically right now? | 04:18 |
| Hobbsee | yes | 04:18 |
| calc | its been in debian since at Oct 19 | 04:18 |
| Hobbsee | odd. | 04:18 |
| Hobbsee | i'd file a sync request for it hten | 04:18 |
| calc | but hasn't made it to hardy yet so did the script ever get run at all? | 04:19 |
| calc | i have several others like that as well | 04:19 |
| Hobbsee | some new stuff has | 04:19 |
| Hobbsee | it seems to only be partially done | 04:19 |
| calc | hmm | 04:19 |
| calc | libxml-java is there | 04:19 |
| TheMuso | Speaking of archive work... I need to file a removal bug. | 04:19 |
| calc | but i can't install it, hmm | 04:19 |
| calc | oh its in the archive but not built anywhere yet | 04:20 |
| * Hobbsee wonders if she can do blacklists | 04:20 | |
| Hobbsee | calc: source new? | 04:20 |
| calc | maybe so | 04:20 |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson: erm, so where is the blacklist stuff, if i'ts kept in bzr, and ubuntu archive admins can modify it? | 04:20 |
| calc | oh its dep-wait on another package | 04:21 |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson: shouldn't it logically be in https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/, instead of somewhere private? | 04:21 |
| * calc looks at it | 04:21 | |
| calc | omg dep-waits from hell | 04:23 |
| Hobbsee | hah | 04:23 |
| Hobbsee | all arches? | 04:23 |
| calc | i gotta write this down | 04:23 |
| Hobbsee | or just hppa/sparc? | 04:23 |
| calc | oh it deps on another java package which deps on yet another, etc | 04:23 |
| calc | i have to make a graph | 04:23 |
| jdong | calc: haha that's a bad sign when you need to graph out the dep chain to explain it :D | 04:23 |
| calc | jdong: looks like it might get deep considering i have list of java deps to begin with that aren't in hardy yet | 04:24 |
| Hobbsee | calc: need some help? | 04:24 |
| calc | anyone here that can kick libloader to retry | 04:25 |
| Hobbsee | yeah | 04:26 |
| calc | its dep-wait is satisified now (or should be) | 04:26 |
| Hobbsee | hum, pitti's script just blew up | 04:26 |
| calc | lol | 04:26 |
| TheMuso | haha | 04:26 |
| calc | er hold a minute | 04:26 |
| Hobbsee | apparently calling it by binary doesn't make it too happy | 04:26 |
| calc | i'm looking in the log and it needed more than what i thought | 04:27 |
| calc | i am tracking all of the deps now | 04:27 |
| * Hobbsee retries it anyway | 04:27 | |
| Hobbsee | it looks OK | 04:27 |
| calc | ok yea i think it might work | 04:28 |
| * calc notices something interesting about libpixie and downloads it | 04:29 | |
| calc | i think it will fail | 04:29 |
| * calc looks to see why libpixie is in multiverse | 04:30 | |
| calc | it appears to be in debian main so something weird is up | 04:31 |
| calc | how can i find out who and why something was stuck in multiverse? | 04:32 |
| calc | libpixie-java appears to be LGPL'd | 04:32 |
| Hobbsee | ask an archive admin who can do somethin gabout it. | 04:32 |
| calc | they are probably all asleep :\ | 04:33 |
| Hobbsee | yup | 04:33 |
| calc | it looks like it is multiverse due to it previously needing non-free java | 04:36 |
| calc | is there a special archive-admin tag, i am going to file a bug to have it moved into universe | 04:37 |
| StevenK | calc: Just set it to Confirmed, and subscribe ubuntu-archive | 04:38 |
| calc | ok | 04:38 |
| StevenK | calc: If you care enough when someone who can fix it is around, point them at the bug | 04:38 |
| calc | ok | 04:38 |
| * Hobbsee rescores libloader to 0, then. | 04:40 | |
| * calc goes on to other packages to see if they all block off the same libpixie-java | 04:41 | |
| calc | two packages stuck in multiverse blocking the rest of the packages for me, fun stuff :\ | 04:52 |
| TheMuso | heh | 04:54 |

| TheMuso | Thank goodness for the lan apache server. Got a box that can't read CD-RWs very well, so netboot is the only approach to getting this hardy alpha installed. | 04:56 |
| calc | Hobbsee: ah | 04:56 |
| Hobbsee | calc: i can accept (sort of), and reject, but i can't do overrides. | 04:57 |

| Hobbsee | oh, and do buildd admin stuff | 04:58 |
| calc | i doubt slangasek is asleep, but he might not be around his computer right now | 05:03 |
| calc | its only ~ 8pm where he is | 05:04 |
| StevenK | Then call him, if you dare. | 05:04 |

| calc | but its outside his hours so he might get a bit annoyed ;) | 05:04 |
| Hobbsee | calc: he's been up all night, he was planning to go and sleep | 05:05 |

| Hobbsee | sysadmins | 05:06 |
| TheMuso | ah | 05:06 |
| * calc doesn't want to think about how many MIRs he is going to need to write for the new OOo upload | 05:07 | |
| calc | probably on the order of 10-20 | 05:07 |
| * calc needs lzma and now ;) | 05:07 | |
| Hobbsee | yeah, it dumped it to main. darn launchpad bug. | 05:08 |
| * Hobbsee gives stuff back, in an attempt for it to build | 05:14 | |
| StevenK | It won't | 05:15 |
| Hobbsee | it will | 05:15 |
| Hobbsee | or at least, it should | 05:15 |

| Hobbsee | geser: ok | 10:38 |
| Mithrandir | Hobbsee: demoted. | 10:39 |
| Hobbsee | Mithrandir: thanks | 10:40 |
| Hobbsee | Mithrandir: and calc's lot? | 10:40 |
| * Hobbsee also did some fixing on pitti's buildd.py | 10:40 | |
| Hobbsee | Mithrandir: this is the trouble of YALPB - anything accepted by the web UI goes to main by default. what happens to the binaries, when they're created? | 10:41 |
| Mithrandir | Hobbsee: both done. | 10:41 |
| Hobbsee | dear launchpad, depwait != needsbuilding. | 10:41 |
| Hobbsee | which is it? make up your mind! | 10:42 |
| Hobbsee | Mithrandir: thanks | 10:42 |
| * Hobbsee hugs Mithrandir | 10:42 | |
| * ogra mumbles ... | 10:45 | |
| Hobbsee | and we get "failed to upload" too | 10:45 |
| Hobbsee | hi ogra | 10:45 |
| ogra | why does xserver-xorg get stuck during install in a chroot ... | 10:45 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: Binary upload in the same cycle as a promotion? | 10:45 |
| ogra | grr | 10:45 |
| Fujitsu | Er, demotion? | 10:45 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: it was never supposed to be promoted | 10:46 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: due to YALPB, the source got sent to main, and i expect the binaries also do. | 10:46 |
| Fujitsu | Bug #135610 | 10:46 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 135610 in soyuz "rejected upload, for binary upload + promotion in the same cycle" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/135610 | 10:46 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: looking | 10:46 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: tasty. taht'll do it. | 10:47 |
| Fujitsu | Wishlist, you see. | 10:47 |
| Hobbsee | mmm | 10:48 |
| Hobbsee | well, hopefully the "everything to main by default" braindeadedness will go away soon, and I won't therefore have to care. | 10:48 |
| Fujitsu | For working uploads are a niche use case. | 10:48 |
| Hobbsee | well, promotions and demotions are rare | 10:48 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: because you've failed to set DEBIAN_FRONTEND and/or redirect stdin to /dev/null? | 10:49 |
| Fujitsu | It may be Low, but definitely not Wishlist. | 10:49 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: yeah well | 10:49 |
| ogra | Mithrandir, thats needed in hardy ? | 10:49 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: either way, it wont get done anytime soon :P | 10:49 |
| ogra | Mithrandir, i didnt change anything in ltsp, before alpha1 it worked fine | 10:49 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: I would assume so, yes, else you'll have debconf trying to query you. | 10:49 |
| ogra | s/before/before and during/ | 10:49 |
| ogra | meh, ok | 10:50 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: It's targetted to 1.2.2, is it not? | 10:50 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: havent looked at the bugs recently | 10:50 |
| Hobbsee | all i know is that it's not done yet. | 10:50 |
| ogra | changing DEBCONF_FRONTEND will break the CD installer | 10:50 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: Oh, I meant the bug I pointed out. | 10:50 |
| Mithrandir | ogra: given that nothing uses DEBCONF_FRONTEND, unlikely. It's DEBIAN_FRONTEND. | 10:50 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: ahhh, right, yes | 10:50 |
| ogra | Mithrandir, either ... | 10:51 |
| ogra | sigh, so it seems i need to special case CD installs now ... | 10:53 |
| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: oh neat. the braindeaded behaviour is currently set to change in 1.2.1 | 10:53 |
| Fujitsu | Hobbsee: Aha, nice. | 10:53 |

| seb128 | Tonio_: you know that you can request Debian syncs, right? | 12:00 |
| Tonio_ | seb128: yep, but I didn't have the link on that machine :) | 12:09 |
| Tonio_ | seb128: can you remind me of the URL ? I would have done that way if I had it ;) | 12:09 |
| Tonio_ | seb128: I may request some more syncs today, so.... | 12:10 |
| seb128 | Tonio_: we can't sync it now, I though that MOTUs knew better than creating useless delta this way | 12:10 |
| persia | Tonio_: Just file a bug with the package, version, source, rationale, and recent changelog (back to last sync/merge). The requestsync script in ubuntu-dev-tools may help. | 12:10 |
| seb128 | Tonio_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School/Merging-and-Syncing | 12:10 |
| Tonio_ | seb128: thanks | 12:11 |
| seb128 | no problem | 12:11 |
| seb128 | btw if you what whatever reason you have to do a fakesync, use a build1 version rather than ubuntu1 so it's synced automatically when a new revision is available in debian | 12:12 |
| Tonio_ | seb128: well, sorry for the bad action, can you drop the package then ? I'll follow the standard way to go then | 12:12 |
| seb128 | Tonio_: what patch? | 12:12 |
| seb128 | ah, package, misread | 12:12 |
| seb128 | no | 12:12 |
| seb128 | we will have to wait for a new debian upload and do a correct sync for this one | 12:12 |
| Tonio_ | seb128: well I didn't requested a sync for maybe 2 years... | 12:14 |
| Tonio_ | seb128: I'll have to re-read the motu wiki pages on that point :) | 12:14 |
| Tonio_ | seb128: will take care at doing this cleanly next time | 12:14 |
| seb128 | Tonio_: that's easy enough, when there is no ubuntu change just ask for the package to be synced on Debian | 12:15 |
| Tonio_ | seb128: makes sense of course | 12:15 |
| geser | Hobbsee or Mithrandir: please give-back lablgtkmathview. Thanks. | 12:20 |

| slangasek | somerville32: a calculated risk to release them without getting concrete feedback, extrapolating from the amd64 success reports; things were a bit harried for alpha1 because of the installer landing so late, in the future I would like to go through the expected ISO QA process | 20:47 |

| somerville32 | Hi | 21:27 |
| sivang | hey Cody | 21:27 |
| sivang | what's up? | 21:27 |
| somerville32 | working away. you? | 21:28 |
| sivang | same | 21:28 |
| sivang | learning to write kernel modules part of my new student job | 21:28 |
| slangasek | jdstrand: ok, from what I see, openldap is assuming a libltdl that uses RTLD_GLOBAL; that's a bug in libltdl upstream that's fixed in the Debian/Ubuntu package (using RTLD_GLOBAL causes namespace collisions in the general case), so openldap's modules need to be fixed to not rely on this | 22:05 |

| slangasek | "np"? | 23:14 |
| sladen | emgent: email... | 23:27 |
| emgent | solved, np :) | 23:27 |
| sladen | emgent: so what was "the problem"? | 23:27 |
| emgent | well | 23:28 |
| sladen | yes | 23:28 |
| sladen | it's good to know, incase we can document the answer somewhere | 23:28 |
| emgent | I'm worked about digital-divide whit ubuntu | 23:28 |
| emgent | see http://cantieredelfuturo.argiso.it/gikomero/telecentro/ | 23:28 |
| emgent | i'd like know if canonical can sponsorize this activity. | 23:29 |
| emgent | now i open a project in ubuntu-it-promo | 23:30 |
| sladen | yup, you could see what response you get on the mailing list | 23:31 |
| emgent | but i'd like know if ubuntu can "sponsorize" this project. | 23:31 |
| emgent | sure :) | 23:31 |
| emgent | thanks sladen | 23:32 |
| slangasek | emgent: ah, I suppose you mean "Canonical" then, since Ubuntu probably doesn't have money to apply to such sponsorship? :) | 23:33 |
| emgent | sure canonical :) | 23:33 |
| emgent | s/ubuntu/canonical/ | 23:34 |
| emgent | :) | 23:34 |
| slangasek | emgent: OOI, what sponsorship do you need? the page seems to describe an already-deployed telecentro | 23:36 |
| emgent | yes | 23:36 |
| emgent | but i opened "International cooperation Ubuntu for the digital divide" in ubuntu-italian-promo | 23:37 |
| emgent | and i'd like know if Canonical can sponsorize similar project. | 23:37 |
| ion_ | What in the name of Kosh is the digital divide? :-) | 23:38 |
| slangasek | ion_: you've never heard the term? Oh, of course, you're in Finland where there isn't one ;) | 23:39 |
| slangasek | "digital divide" refers to the problem of the distribution of technology reinforcing pre-existing social stratification, where the poor and underprivileged have reduced access to computers which predetermines the scope of their future achievements | 23:40 |
| ion_ | Ok, thanks. | 23:40 |
| slangasek | emgent: where can I find this ubuntu-italian-promo list? | 23:42 |
| emgent | ml ? | 23:42 |
| sladen | more people /in Finland/ | 23:43 |
| slangasek | where you referring to a mailing list, or not? | 23:43 |
| emgent | http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/GruppoPromozione | 23:43 |
| sladen | y'know it's 2am right :) | 23:43 |
| emgent | slangasek, i sent mail in ubuntu-it-promo mailinglist | 23:43 |
| emgent | about this project. | 23:43 |
| slangasek | oh, ubuntu-it-promo, ok | 23:44 |
| emgent | sent too canonical | 23:45 |
| slangasek | or ubuntu-it-promozione, perhaps? (easier to search for lists I don't know if you give the exact list name :) | 23:45 |
| emgent | ubuntu-it-promozione | 23:45 |
| emgent | slangasek, http://www.freelists.org/list/ubuntu-it-promozione | 23:46 |
| slangasek | yes, found | 23:46 |
| emgent | i cant see mail in archivies.. I think ML filter is on... | 23:48 |
| slangasek | emgent: fwiw, reading your mail I think you'd be more successful in acquiring sponsorship if you were able to present a more concrete plan for what's needed, what support you can expect from the community vs. sponsors, etc | 23:48 |
| slangasek | oh, I see your mail in the archive right here: http://www.freelists.org/archives/ubuntu-it-promozione/12-2007/msg00000.html | 23:48 |
| emgent | oh yes, now i see :) | 23:49 |
| emgent | sladen, the plan is described | 23:50 |
| slangasek | emgent: in that mail, you've only described it in general terms. If you want a company to lay out hardware contributions, you'll really want to demonstrate that you have an organization that will be able to make use of it | 23:51 |
| emgent | sure | 23:52 |
| emgent | 23:53 | |
| emgent | It is the aim of the project presented, where I could make reference to the Italian territory | 23:53 |
| slangasek | i.e., you talk about offering advice and help with resolving problems, who are the people that will be offering support? you talk about being a communication node between "associations and schools", who are these associations and schools and how will you build relationships with them? | 23:53 |
| emgent | yes. | 23:54 |
| emgent | mekius, for example. | 23:54 |
| emgent | s/mekius/me/ | 23:54 |
| emgent | (about italian territory) | 23:55 |
| sladen | that's alot of hardware for just one person | 23:55 |
| emgent | no, u dont understand | 23:56 |
| emgent | this project isnt only for "gikomero", but for all "digital divide with ubuntu" | 23:56 |
| emgent | i'd like crate a team for manage request and help | 23:57 |
| sladen | who are the exact people, on each side of this "divide" | 23:57 |
| emgent | i dont understand | 23:57 |
| emgent | :° | 23:58 |
| emgent | school and association request help, me and team manage request and give help.. later canonical can decide if it's possible sponsorize. | 23:59 |
