poningruI need help with a main inclusion report02:25
poningruhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportiSCSI?highlight=(iscsi)02:25
poningruI wanted to know what to put for the security portion of the thing02:25
poningruand the other stuff...02:25
somerville32Did you not use the MIR Template? It has clues.02:26
poningruOH?02:26
poningruI did not see one02:26
poningruI had to use other ones02:26
somerville32For security, look for CVE reports and security-related bug reports02:26
poningruooh found the template02:27
poningruthanks02:27
somerville32np02:27
poningrusomerville32: another question... if the security vuln is patched already...02:29
poningrushould I still include it?02:29

pooliehi06:52
pooliei have a source package, i'd like to get PPA to build it on Hardy as well as Gutsy06:52
pooliehelp?06:52
lifelessupload it twice06:53
lifelessset the target via the changelog, so you have to build the source twice too06:54
pooliehey, what a surprise06:54
poolie:)06:54
poolieit seems like that'll produce two source packages with the same name...06:54
poolieshould i add a version suffix for the distro?06:54
poolieor just let it happen?06:54
lifelessit will produce two source packages with the same name, and each will go in a separate archive06:55
lifelesswhich is the same as e.g. building bzr 1.0 for two dapper and gutsy06:55
poolieok06:56
lifelesslook at the current bzr packages, they do this and are done 'right'06:56
poolieok06:57
poolieso, practically06:57
pooliei need a different directory and a different source tree on my local disk for each distro to stop the source packages clashing06:57

mjg59We're not going to support installs on x86 EFI for ages, so it's not really an issue there11:51
cjwatsonmjg59: err, the people in the bugs are talking about x86 I'm pretty sure11:52

cjwatsonmjg59: we don't have to support installs on them - the boot drive can be MBR and you can have a separate GPT RAID11:52

cjwatsonI think pulling disks out of Macs and repartitioning them on other systems is honestly vanishingly rare11:53

cjwatsonand yeah, it's a layering violation, but in exactly the place where we've been screwed by differing EFI implementations11:53
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
mjg59I'm intruiged by why it's going wrong. I suspect we'd be better off if the kernel preferred GPT tables to EFI ones.11:54
cjwatsonthere's a comment in libparted about why that was changed11:54
mjg59s/EFI/MBR/11:55
cjwatsonit's a reasonable point that there is no way to generate a sane legacy MBR for a >2TB disk, so we shouldn't11:55
mjg59Yes, that's probably fair11:55
cjwatsonso if you'd rather that that be the condition, that doesn't seem too bad to do in parted11:55
mjg59Though in that case, we'd still need to add support for it creating logical partitions in the mbr11:56
cjwatsonurgh, true11:56
mjg59Which we probably should do anyway11:56
cjwatsonthe Apple test seems like an easier stopgap to plug the data loss11:57

mjg59slangasek: #177154 (from our earlier conversation)13:17

mjg59siretart: No problem13:19
cjwatsonslangasek: ubiquity uploaded per your earlier request13:20
persiamjg59: Usually one tries to eliminate all the rdepends first.  In this case, it looks like about 20.  Should these all be migrating to rely on wodim?13:24
mjg59persia: cdrecord is in multiverse. There's nothing interesting that actually neesd it13:25
mjg59persia: And when it comes to copyright infringement, then we remove first and ask questions later13:25
StevenKGar, didn't siretart try really hard to get cdrecord into multiverse?13:26
Mithrandirhe did13:26
persiamjg59: No, but a lot of things that don't really need it have a dependency due to never having been transitioned to an alternative.13:27
StevenKI think I questioned him at the time13:27
Mithrandirwe could castrate cdrtools to not build mkisofs13:27
mjg59persia: Unless those things are in multiverse, it's not an issue13:27
siretartStevenK: there are negotiations ongoing atm. joerg has just been sent an email, and I'm curious to read his answer13:28
Mithrandirsiretart: would be so kind as to make cdrtools not build mkisofs for the time being?13:28
StevenKI'm not. cdrecord can get out and stay out, as far as I'm concerned.13:28
cjwatsonis there good reason to believe that these negotiations will be more fruitful than endless previous negotiations with Joerg?13:28
cjwatsonit's not as if this is a new problem13:29
persiamjg59: Actually, about half are in universe (in violation of universe ! depends on multiverse) according to debcheck.  I agree with remove-first-ask-questions-later, just was curious if you had thought about transition, so as to try to get it completed.13:29
mjg59persia: I was under the impression that there was supposed to be some sort of transition package13:29
siretartcjwatson: I do have reasons to beleive so, mainly because this time, the negotations are kept in private13:29
persiamjg59: The transition package was removed when cdrecord was added to multiverse (see parallel thread in this channel)13:29
cjwatsonmjg59: there was. siretart intentionally removed it13:30
siretartMithrandir: sure. could you elobarate a bit why?13:30
mjg59persia: Well, that was an error :)13:30
cjwatsonsiretart: I believe there have been attempts at private negotiation in the past, too13:30
mjg59Well, we've made some progress13:30
Mithrandirsiretart: see bug 177154.13:31
ubotuLaunchpad bug 177154 in cdrtools "cdrtools is undistributable" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/17715413:31
Mithrandirsiretart: so unless mjg59 is wrong in his bug report (which I haven't checked, but I have no reason to believe he is wrong), we should either kill off mkisofs from cdrtools for the time being or remove the package.13:31
siretartMithrandir: tbh, I think since joerg has now waited for matthews answer so long (he has bugging me the last 2 weeks weekly on irc), we should give him some time to answer before we kill cdrtools (again)13:33
StevenKPersonally, not that my opinion matters much, I remain unconvinced we need cdrtools at all.13:33
siretartunless there are compelling reason to do so at once13:33
Mithrandirsiretart: it doesn't seem like Joerg has any interest in contributing constructively to the discussion.13:49
siretartMithrandir: I'm currently having a query with him, and I have another impression13:51
Mithrandirhis comment in the bug report is "you don't understand the GPL, go away"13:51
mjg59siretart: I should emphasise that the only way to deal with the mkisofs issue is to license the libraries and build system under a GPL-compatible license (optionally along with the CDDL)13:52
lamontwhere is bddebian when I want to grumble at him13:52
mjg59siretart: Either that, or we need to hear from every mkisofs and libhfs_iso copyright holder13:53
siretartmjg59: he seriously doesn't understand the GPL this way, but argues in corner cases that apply at least to german and US law, and states that since all contributers are either germans or US citizens, this would apply here13:57
mjg59siretart: Except for the Swedish ones13:58
cjwatsonsiretart: and the British ones13:58
StevenKSo, he's on crack, as usual13:58
siretartit's really hard to discuss this over channel boarders13:59
siretartStevenK: so having a different opinion qualifies as being on crack?13:59

poningru_soren, but have never done anything similar before15:15
poningru_so wondering if I was doing it right15:15
sorenponingru_: It's quite simple, really. Fill in the blanks by looking up CVE's and stuff from Debian's bts and Launchpad.15:15
poningru_also I want to work on the ramdisk implementation15:15
sorenponingru_: That would be nice. Do you happen to have hardware to test with?15:16

poningru_yeah you can setup openfiler for that kinda stuff15:18
poningru_really easy to setup15:18
sorenponingru_: I know there's iscsitarget, too, but I'd like to test with what our users are likely to see in the wild.15:18
poningru_soren, my thoughts exactly thats why I went with openfiler15:18
Riddellsiretart: done15:18
sorenponingru_: I'm not familiar with openfiler, I'm afraid.15:18

siretartRiddell: xine-lib is currently in debian NEW, so the next upload will be a sync request :)15:19

poningru_yeah atleast my uni uses that15:20
sorenponingru_: Not dedicated boxes from Dell, Intel or whoever?15:20
sorenponingru_: That's not a lot of empirical data..15:20
poningru_I know :P15:21
poningru_yeah I dont have a dedicated box  like that...15:21
poningru_hardware implementation of iSCSI is... weird and expensive15:21
sorenOk. I'm working on getting my hands on one. It'll be at least a few days before I'll need a target anyway.15:22
sorenponingru_: I know. That's why I don't have one yet.15:22
poningru_ooh cool15:22
soren:)15:22
poningru_but I dont think there is that much difference in target implementation15:23
poningru_as in its not like the web15:23
sorenSure.. I'm just a bit reluctant to put stuff out in the wild saying: "Here' this stuff works and is really good", and as soon as anyone uses it with something other than iscsitarget (which I'm guessing is what openfiler uses), it breaks in weird ways.15:24
sorenOf course, I could just rely on other people testing it, but experience tells me that the more expensive the hardware, the less inclined people are to test it.15:25
poningru_I'true15:26
soren..since if it's expensive, it's probably a really important part of the infrastructure, so you can't affort to have it offline for even a short amount of time to test random stuff.15:26
poningru_well... connecting to stuff shouldnt take it down... atleast I hope15:26
poningru_soren, but yeah I'll test stuff out with enterprise target thing15:30
sorenponingru_: Sounds lovely!15:32
sorenponingru_: So you want to do the initramfs hooks?15:32
