awen_i'm working on the libapache-mod-layout and making that work for apache2 ... what is the right way to rename it to libapache2-mod-layout?00:36
awen_the important thing is that the old libapache-mod-layout doesn't stay behind in the archive00:41
crimsunif necessary, you could file an archive removal request for libapache-mod-layout source+binary00:44
crimsunI'm not up-to-speed on Apache/2 modules, however; you need to ensure that what's available in 6.06 LTS is available and/or able to be migrated for 8.04 LTS.00:45
awen_crimsun: should you then make some sort of "migration" package with the old name?00:48
=== tonyyaru1so is now known as tonyyarusso
crimsunawen_: you would need a transition package IFF that is the proper Apache -> Apache 2 migration path.00:50
crimsunawen_: again, I know nothing about that migration; others here are more knowledgable regarding it.00:50
awen_crimsun: do we know who might know that?00:50
crimsunslangasek or persia00:52
awen_crimsun: okay, thanks... then i'll just need to catch one of the some time00:57
joejaxxwow nice01:14
joejaxxvirtualbox runs on os/201:14
persiaawen_: If you can get the source to also generate a libapache2-mod-layout binary package, that would be a good first step.  The second step would be to create a dummy libapache-mod-layout package and test an upgrade from Dapper to Hardy to make sure that someone with apache + libapache-mod-layout gets a smooth upgrade to apache2 + libapache2-mod-layout.01:20
persiaawen_: If the smooth upgrade doesn't work, the dummy package doesn't help.01:21
awen_persia: so i should keep the libapache-mod-layout as source name, but change the package name?01:21
persiaawen_: Right.  Changing source package names should be avoided when following the same upstream, to prevent another source NEW delay.  There will still be a binary NEW delay with a new binary package, so you might want to do the upgrade testing against a PPA or local repo before committing.01:23
awen_persia: okay, i thought so... how do you make such a dummy / migration package?01:24
* persia wishes the apache removal was listed on http://wiki.debian.org/OngoingTransitions01:24
persiaawen_: In debian/control have a stanza for the now obsolete binary package that depends on the new binary package, with a description indicating it is a dummy package, and don't install any files in the dummy package.01:25
awen_persia: okay, i'll do that01:28
awen_persia: it doesn't seem that apache is made as a dummy package for apache2... do we know how that migration should work when upgrading?01:31
bddebianHeya gang01:32
persiaawen_: Not exactly.  I can't find documentation for that transition: it seems to be of the "apache is bad, let's remove it" variety.  Maybe we don't need the transition.01:32
* persia searches the ML archives again01:32
awen_persia: okay... i also wondered why i couldn't find any other apache module migration packages, so you might be right :/01:34
persiaawen_: Digging through the mailing lists, it appears that different packages chose different routes for the migration.  According to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=429126 there doesn't seem to be a maintainer decision in Debian about the way to proceed with this package.  Maybe just bump the build-depends, leave the binary package name the same, and make sure it works with apache2.01:38
ubotuDebian bug 429126 in libapache-mod-layout "please update/request removal of your package" [Serious,Open]01:38
awen_persia: all the other modules has changed name to libapache2-mod* , so not to confuse people i think the name should be changed?01:39
awen_source name remains the same of course :)01:40
persiaawen_: You may if you like.  My investigation of apt-cache shows that 2 in 3 packages appear to have made a binary name transition, and 1 in 3 didn't (yet many of the 1 in 3 now depend on apache2).01:41
awen_persia: okay, i'll go with the majority then :) ... but it's good that we are persistent :)01:42
persiaThe argument in favor of using the new name and dropping the old is that the obsolete packages will stay on upgraded systems and the system admin can schedule the apache upgrade separately from the OS upgrade.01:42
persiaThe argument in favor of using the old name is that administrators will be upgraded to the newest version with no hassle (although the web applications might break).  Going with the majority is likely safe, as with the current two ways to do it plan, most upgrades will break.01:43
awen_if just all chose the name changing path, it would be pretty safe to do an upgrade... might be something to warn about, as this likely applies to a dapper->hardy upgrade (LTS-2-LTS)01:46
=== bigon is now known as bigon`
awen_persia: when the package is done, what should i then do with it01:49
awen_?01:49
persiaawen_: Yes.  This transition apparently needs closer investigation :)  If you'd like to look at what all 154 packages currently do, and send a recommendation to the ubuntu-server@l.u.c, it may be well received, and would be a good first step to making this a safe transition.01:51
persiaWhen you have a tested patch, submit it to the sponsors queue.  Look through "Preparing New Revisions" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing for some guidelines on best practice and procedure for requesting sponsoring.01:52

johandcHi, i want to build a source package on my 4-way sparc64 server, but somehow dpkg-buildpackage is only using one cpu to compile. How can i set something like the -j 8 flag with dpkg?02:03
persiajohandc: You likely just have to pass a different value of $(MAKE) to debian/rules.  Someone did it across the Debian archive - might be worth searching for "Debian parallel build" to see if you can find their instructions.02:04
johandcAhh, sounds easy. I'll take a look.02:05
persiajohandc: Also note that some packages have Makefiles that will cause single-threaded builds anyway, so you might not get the expected results.  Further, some packages have Makefiles that assume serial build, which may cause FTBFS (this is the minority).02:06
persiajohandc: Ah.  `dpkg-buildpackage -j9` ought do what you want (assuming 8 cores).02:07
johandcI just found that you can really just pass the -j8 option directly to dpkg-buildpackage. However, as you say, 1 out of 10 packages fail with parallel builds.02:07
johandcAhh i see, i have four cores, so that should be -j5 then.02:07
persiajohandc: Well, depends on the overall architecture.  numcores+numiochannels is the right calculation, but most people don't have multiple parallel IO channels in their hardware.02:08
johandcAhh, that makes sense :)02:10
* persia misses backplane servers02:10
johandcHehe, this is actually some old iron i'm reviving here. A Sun Enterprise 440-R with 4 Gb Ram and 4 300Mhz UltraSparc-II CPUs.02:13
johandcHowever we depend on openafs, which has been broken for sparc64 for quite a while, so i'm keen to se if the new release will build :)02:13
persiajohandc: Ah.  I've just been chasing that sync bug :)  Changelog makes it look like it should.02:14
johandcIt also fixes a gutsy bug with 1.4.5, Russ wanted to wait for 1.4.6 which is out now.02:15
persiaI think it'd be better to extract and backport the patch to 1.4.5 if trying to apply to gutsy, rather than trying to upgrade.  Pushing a new upstream in a SRU has a very high barrier to approval.02:16
johandcBuild completed successfully on gutsy sparc64 without any patches!02:16
persiaDo you mean, no additional patches, or is upstream clean now?02:17
johandc*Jumps happily up and down*02:17
johandcI mean, i didn't have to modify the source myself. I could just get deb-src and run buildpkg02:17
johandcOhh wait.02:18
johandcI still need to compile modules-source02:18
awen_persia: interdiff has been uploaded :) ... halfway through all the old apache1.3 modules now, and a lot work generated for ubuntu-universe-sponsors ;)02:24
Fujitsuawen_: Are you testing that they actually work?02:25
awen_Fujitsu: only had one thing to upload until now, and this has been testet... the rest is removal requests02:26
FujitsuAh, good to see them go.02:26
awen_luckily the functionality has been moving to the core, or is avaible in another package already, in nearly all the cases until now02:27
FujitsuI will be glad to see http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/debcheck/debcheck.py?dist=hardy&list=universe%2donly%2drelationship%2dDepends&arch=EVERY somewhat shorter.02:27
awen_Fujitsu: yes... i've forwarded 9 of those to the sponsors since yesterday :)02:29
persiaawen_: Just a note: "I" used in bug descriptions is not very informative, especially when added by someone other than the bug submitter :)02:33
awen_persia: you have a point there :) ... normally i just add notes, didn't really think of that02:35
awen_persia: when doing a new upstream release should the source package then be included, or is it enough with the interdiff?02:51
persiaawen_: As long as the package has a working watch file or get-orig-source rule, the interdiff is sufficient.02:57
awen_persia: it sounds like i need to provide the source also03:01
persiaawen_: Which package?  Let's look at a specific case, which can then be abstracted for the future general case.03:02
awen_bug 14552803:02
ubotuLaunchpad bug 145528 in libapache-mod-layout "[UNMETDEPS] libapache-mod-layout has unmet dependencies" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/14552803:02
persiaawen_: In this case, you would want to add a watch file to your candidate package.  This is especially important, as the download URL identified in debian/copyright is no longer valid, so the package does not currently identify the upstream source correctly.03:06
awen_shouldn't the link in the copyright file be changed then?03:07
persiaawen_: Yes.  To restore the upstream indicator, in addition to the new upstream version, you'll want to update debian/copyright and add a watch file.03:07
awen_persia: what should the watch file contain... do you have an example/description?03:08
persiaawen_: Man uscan for a description. Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/DebianWatch for a discussion.03:09
persiaawen_: I've reassigned the bug to you.  Please unassign, and push back to the sponsors queue when you've fixed that.03:11
awen_persia: okay, i'll have a look at that03:12
persiaawen_: Thanks.03:13
awen_persia: what does the version=3 mean in the guide?03:13
persiaawen_: watch file syntax version 3.  The current standard.03:14
CyberMattJust so everybody knows i'm busy with the th holidays and that and I probably won't be active that much until December 28 and if this message goes anywhere where it not wanted i apologize03:14
awen_persia: now these original source packages contains a folder with the same name as the tar-gz file instead of just having the contents in the root of the archive... anything you should be aware of there?03:21
persiaawen_: dpkg should be smart enough to handle that.03:22
awen_persia: okay :)03:22
=== CyberMatt is now known as Matt-Vacation
awen_persia: just to be 100% sure now... do we start with *-0ubuntu0 or *-0ubuntu1 as initial version*-0ubuntu003:29
awen_persia: just to be 100% sure now... do we start with *-0ubuntu0 or *-0ubuntu1 as initial version?03:29
persia"-0ubuntu1" meaning "Debian Revision 0", "Ubuntu Revision 1".  Since Debian always starts with revision 1, this makes it safe to merge or sync if Debian is updated.03:30
awen_persia: i was correct then :)03:31
nenolodare we in DebianImportFreeze yet?03:42
persianenolod: Yes.03:42
nenolodfghgds.03:42
persianenolod: Why fghgds?03:42
nenolodcan someone import inspircd and upse from debian unstable? (there is a sync bug for inspircd, but there's nothing to sync for either package.)03:42
nenolodthey both compile fine under hardy and introduce no new major problems03:43
persianenolod: How do you mean "nothing to sync for either package"?03:43
nenolodpersia, nothing in ubuntu to merge. ;)03:43
persianenolod: Ah.  Right.  Do they provide any interesting features or fix any outstanding bugs?03:44
nenolodpersia, they are new packages. inspircd provides a more modernized ircd package than what ubuntu presently offers, and upse provides a better PSX module player than what modplug provides in audacious.03:45
persianenolod: OK.  That sounds useful.  Each one just needs a sync request bug.  Subscribe the universe sponsors for new stuff in universe.  They'll likely get pushed to the archive admins with a minimum of fuss, but the archive admins might be a bit about pulling them: I don't believe there are any manual queue processing days scheduled for next week.03:48
nenolodright.03:48
nenolodpersia, i'll fix the one sync request bug and create one for upse then.03:49
persianenolod: Thanks.03:49
persianenolod: Since we're past DIF, it's a good idea to summarize why the package should be in hardy at the top of the sync request bug (above the Debian changelog).03:49
=== tritium_ is now known as tritium
nenolodpersia, hmm. it won't let me select an arbitrary sourcepackagename03:55
persianenolod: File requests for new packages against Ubuntu with a summary like "Please sync foo version-revision into universe from Debian unstable (main)"03:56

nenolodoh, ok. :)03:57
joejaxxnice03:58
* joejaxx just wrote a nice little script to download fedora source archives :)03:59
persiajoejaxx: Does it have a function to automatically compare patches against Ubuntu, and generate a new patch set as a candidate application for an updated revision?04:00
joejaxxno04:00
joejaxxbut i can probably add that04:01
joejaxxthis is for packages that are not in ubuntu04:01
persiajoejaxx: That'd be fairly cool.04:01
joejaxxas it is a process to get source from fedora at the moment04:01
joejaxxi will write that up tomorrow04:01
joejaxxthe feature you requested that is04:02
persiaFor packages not in Ubuntu, it's likely also very interesting, but then my wishlist enhancement would be to automatically generate a candidate Debian-format package from the source.04:02

joejaxxoh whoops i need to build this in a hardy chroot04:04

persiajoejaxx: Part of the issue is that an alias list is insufficient, due to differences in how packages are split.04:11
joejaxxpersia: you can get around that :)04:11

joejaxxFujitsu: ok04:22
persiaminghua: Yes, for most cases source package splits are more similar than binary package splits, but there are exceptions, even there.04:22
* minghua needs to learn python packaging as well.04:22
nenolodpersia, the comments lead me to believe that the inspircd bug may have been entirely incorrect, so i decided to start from scratch. sorry. :P04:22
joejaxxwe use python-central in ubuntu right?04:22
joejaxxi have seen that in packages04:23
persianenolod: Understood.  More than anything, the comments appeared to me to be a request for the changelog, etc.  Doesn't really matter, except that it increases bug churn.04:23
persiajoejaxx: Either python-central or python-support, as you like.04:23

awen_persia: thanks... and it's already done04:45
minghuaHmm, so ubuntu-keyring package is actually ubuntu-ARCHIVE-keyring...04:49
persiaminghua: Right, because of the no-binary-uploads thing.04:50
minghuapersia: Eh?  How is that related?04:50
minghuaI just want to have a keyring of all (core) developers' keys.04:51
persiaminghua: Because all builds are signed by the archive, there's no need to pass the developer keyring to end-users (or at least that was the thought).04:51
persiaFor keyrings for a specific LP group, there's a script.  I'll try to find the source...04:51
* minghua thinks persia is wrong, but let my check first.04:51
minghuapersia: Don't bother, I don't really need it.04:52
persiaminghua: OK.04:54
minghuapersia: No, you are wrong.  The source packages (.dsc) is still signed by the uploader.04:54
minghuapersia: And in both Debian and Ubuntu, the signature for the binary package is not publicly visible anyway (they are in the .changes files in Debian).04:55
persiaminghua: I still believe I'm right that the justification for not including all the keys in the keyring was because of the no binary uploads.  I don't have a strong opinion about whether this is correct or not.04:55
minghuapersia: Debian has the DDs' keys in a keyring package so that people can check the source packages.04:56
minghuapersia: In Debian the authentication of binary packages are done on APT level instead of the individual package level.04:57
minghuapersia: So I don't see it related to binary upload in any way.04:57
persiaminghua: Maybe I'm wrong then.  Anyway, the source I thought would do it actually pulls the SSH keys, which doesn't help you.05:00

AmaranthIf you create a texture after you do a VT switch away from the X server the texture gets no memory allocated09:12
Amaranthin this case the texture is the fullscreen gnome-screensaver window so it looks like a blank white screen09:12
Amaranthyou can blindly type your password though :P09:12
imbrandonyea , this is for my father-in-law though09:12
imbrandonheh09:13
AmaranthNope, I just make sure IRC isn't my active window before switching then blindly type my password09:13
imbrandonon my system i just dont use user switching09:13
AmaranthOtherwise your choices are don't have a screensaver or don't use compiz09:13

imbrandonother than the ocasional test in a vm09:32

imbrandonhyper___ch: correct11:00
imbrandonyou can use the PPA to compile for both if you wish11:00
hyper___chimbrandon: thx :) as probably only a few motus have all possible system architectures it means that most packages in ubuntu are compiled and maintained by different people for the different architecture, right?11:01

\shhyper___ch, most MOTUs have x86_32 and only some of them have x86_64 archs...11:02
hyper___chso what do the MOTUs then? I assumed they make the .deb available?11:02
hyper___chdamn, you know I thought I did understand the whole thing now ;)11:03
\shhyper___ch, but for building packages it doesn't matter...if your source is not compiling on x86_64 or sparc or hppa you have to look at it and fix it hopefully11:03

penguin42Hi14:25
penguin42I think the gnome debs need an anti-build dependency; I think they fail to build correctly if the old libthread-dev and libpthread20 packages are installed14:26
StevenKThat is termed a Build-Conflict14:27
StevenKHow do they fail to build correctly?14:27
penguin42They build but fail with the error GThread-ERROR **: file /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.14.1/gthread/gthread-posix.c: line 140 (): error 'Function not implemented' during 'pthread_getschedparam (pthread_self(), &policy, &sched)'14:28
penguin42I got this building rhythmbox from source (either from the deb or from the rhythmbox svn)14:29
penguin42there is also an easily missed warning of /usr/bin/ld: warning: libpthread.so.0, needed by /usr/lib/libgnomeui-2.so, may conflict with libpthread.so.2014:29
penguin42if you google for that Function not implemented on pthread_getschedparam you'll see a lot of unanswered threads going back quite a way of people having the same thing14:30
penguin42I would have had those packages installed since I upgraded from feisty - they aren't in gutsy and frankly it's a pitty that they didn't get removed during a dist-upgrade14:31
penguin42 #81169, #97092, #115511 are all other bugs people are having with libpthread-dev14:33
* penguin42 isn't really sure where to file this - do I file it on pthreads or some gnome libs?14:36
StevenKI seem to recall something like this being discussed a while back, but I'm not sure what became of it. I'd suggest you just purge those troublesome packages and deal.14:37
penguin42yeh I have14:38
penguin42thing is it's just taken me a few hours to track it down and I can see there are loads more guys having the same problems14:39
StevenKThen file a bug against a Gnome library and ask for suggestions14:45
penguin42ok, glib looks possible - I'm just adding a comment to the end of someone elses comment at the moment14:47
StevenKI would suggest you also bring this up in #ubuntu-devel -- after the holiday season. :-)14:48
penguin42after the holiday season I'll be back at work!14:48

dfiloni*can I :P16:53
=== XSource_ is now known as XSource
pochuBut should be an interesting read16:53
persiaIf you have an interdiff file and the old diff.gz with `combinediff -z packagename_version-revision.diff.gz packagename_newversion-newrevision.interdiff.gz | gzip --best -c - > packagename_newversion-newrevision.diff.gz `16:53
persiaFrom the new diff.gz, you can use filterdiff to extract the debian/ directory, and grab the new upstream source from either the watch file or the get-orig-source rule in debian rules (specific commands on the wiki page).16:54
persiaThen, you unpack the upstream source, apply the diff from the constructed diff.gz, and you have a new package directory.  From this, you can create the source package with the standard package build tools (debuild, dpkg-buildpackage, etc.).16:55
DrKranzpersia, does your script on ubuntuwire does this by itself?16:55
persiaDktrKranz: Yes, but it breaks a lot, which is why it's not linked from the Interdiff page.16:57
DrKranzso, I guess I have to follow the procedure above16:57
persiaDrKranz: You can try my script.  You're also welcome to improve it.  While my script works in some cases, I find I usually do it manually anyway.  I keep meaning to fix the script, but haven't gotten around to it yet.16:58
DrKranzI need to learn how to use interdiff properly, so I have to learn how it works before attempting to automate the process16:59
persiaDrKranz: Basically, it tracks the differences between two patches.  This allows the conversion of the old patch into a new patch, creating the new diff.gz.  The rest of the instructions are more about creating a source package from a diff.gz.17:00

pochuwoops17:45
pochupersia: please, oh please, I don't ;-)17:45
DktrKranzpochu, IIRC, wxwidgets was at 2.8.6.117:45
pochuDktrKranz: you dont remember correctly :P dfiloni already has it packaged17:46
dfiloninow I'm working at 2.8.7.1 version17:46
DktrKranzerm... so I really missed something....17:46
DktrKranzinterdiff was related to 2.8.6.117:46
pochuDktrKranz: you are supposed to upload 2.8.6.117:47
pochuDktrKranz: 2.8.7.1 is ... weird17:47
* DktrKranz breathes again :)17:47
DktrKranzpochu, I guess wxwidgets* is weird... :)17:47
dfilonipochu: do you want to see latest lintian output about wxwidgets2.8?17:48
pochudfiloni: I saw it when you pasted it :-)17:48
dfilonipochu: I'm really scared, I will work on it in the next day and happy new wxwidgets2.817:49
pochudfiloni: that, and the fact that they added a new editor in a ?bugfix? release is why I say it's weird ;)17:49
* DktrKranz hopes Debian provide a new package *soon*17:49
dfilonipochu: they added a new editor that add some lintian warnings/errors17:49
* pochu is afraid that won't happen17:49
DktrKranzlatest mail by bernd suggested to talk to debian-ctte17:50
persiaDktrKranz: That's strange and contentious.  Upstream is working with Debian (and dfiloni with upstream) to make that happen.17:50
DktrKranzpersia, I think it's because Ron doesn't want his package hijacked17:51
DktrKranz(his own words)17:51
persiaDktrKranz: Yes.  Exactly.  Hijacks are bad, so I don't blame Ron, but it's awkward for Maintainers when upstream only works with 2.8.17:52
* persia thanks Matthias for having put 2.8 in Ubuntu several releases back17:52
pochuWhat is funny is that wx2.8 only has 8 bugs in LP, as wx2.6 has17:53
persiapochu: Why is that funny?17:53
DktrKranzpochu, I think boa-constructor's one are related to wxwidgets2.6 :)17:53
DktrKranzupload completed \o/17:54
pochupersia: because Ron's main reason to not package wx2.8 is that wx2.8 is half broken, IIUC17:54
pochus/half broken/buggy/17:54
persiapochu: 2.4 has no bugs, but that's mostly because nobody cares, rather than because it's not buggy.17:54
pochupersia: bug if an application crashes, and it's an wx bug, then someone moves the crash to wxwidgets17:55
pochuAlthough I agree that there are a lot of package to which nobody looks17:55
pochuAnyway, I have used aMule, and phatch, and Filezilla which wx2.8 and I don't think wx2.8 is that buggy.17:56
persiapochu: Right.  Since nobody uses any of the packages that depend on 2.4, it gets no bugs.  Most packages use 2.6, which is pretty stable, so it only gets a few bugs.  A few packages use 2.8, but it has just as many bugs as 2.6.  I suggest this indicates 2.8 is buggier than 2.6.17:56
persia(and, no, not that buggy)17:56

AnAntHello, when's the next sync with Debian ?18:02
persiaAnAnt: Late April.18:02
AnAntthere are a couple of packages on Debian, that aren't on Ubuntu18:03
persiaAnAnt: If there is a specific package that provides some useful feature for hardy, compiles, installs, and generally behaves well on hardy, and doesn't break anything, please file a sync request for inclusion.  Some packages will be missed, but the current focus is on integration, bugfixing, and implementation of specific hardy features, rather than including everything that can be found.18:06
AnAntpersia: what decides if it provides useful feature for hardy ?18:07
persiaAnAnt: The opinion of the person researching the inclusion, based on their understanding of possible use cases.  If that person is not an Ubuntu developer, the reasoning behind inclusion is reviewed by a sponsor.18:09
AnAntpersia: well, one of them is swt-gtk18:10
AnAntpersia: the swt libraries are now provided by a new source package called swt-gtk18:11
AnAntpersia: instead of eclipse source package18:11
persiaAnAnt: This is in Debian?18:11
AnAntpersia: yeah18:11
persiaAnAnt: Does it also apply to the eclipse source package currently in Ubuntu?18:12
AnAntpersia: meaning what ?18:12
persiaAnAnt: Well, if the current Ubuntu eclipse no longer provides the swt libraries, then swt-gtk is clearly needed in order to prevent a fairly serious regression in hardy.  On the other hand, if the last pull from Debian was before the transition, it may be safe to postpone the transition until hardy+1.18:14
persiaNote that it being safe to postpone doesn't mean it should be postponed, only that someone should determine what effect the transition may have, so as to avoid too much additional work towards hardy release preparation.18:14
AnAntpersia: I don't think that the change will impact eclipse18:15
AnAntpersia: because the names of the binary packages are different18:15
persiaAnAnt: OK.  If you want swt-gtk in hardy, please investigate the impact and rationale, and file a bug.  I'm not very familiar with the Ubuntu Java plans, and don't really understand why it both is and isn't related to changes that may have happened in eclipse in Debian.18:17
txwikingerpersia: who decides to discontinue a package, or rather put in a transitional package pointing to the replacement?18:19
persiatxwikinger: Any Ubuntu Developer.  Non-developers who have researched that either a package should be removed or that a transition is needed are encouraged to document it in a bug (with a patch if required), and forward to the sponsors queue.  (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-universe-sponsors for a bunch of current examples related to apache)18:20
txwikingerok.. thanks18:21
persiatxwikinger: Just for completeness, Ubuntu also pulls a lot of transitions / removals that were planned in Debian, especially at the beginning of each release cycle.18:23
txwikingerI found a package due to the MOTU bitesizes which seems to be replaced by another18:24
persiatxwikinger: Which package?18:24
txwikingerbeep-media-layer18:24
txwikingerbeep-media-player18:24

AnAntpersia: how do I request a certain pacakge to be synced ?18:26
persiatxwikinger: That would be related to Debian Bug #422681.  There are some reverse dependencies that need investigation (bmp-mp4, xfce4-xmms-plugin, bmp-musepack, bmp-alarm).  Once those are cleaned up, a removal request may be placed.  It's likely not worth fixing the missing icon bug.18:26

bluefoxicypicking up Seamonkey instead of FF/TB right now would probably drop my RAM usage a bit <_<20:16
