StevenKLaserJock: PONIES03:40
StevenKLaserJock: In all seriousness, Gutsy was out two months ago03:40
LaserJockyeah ...  I know  :/03:41

gQuig1anyone know if hardy alpha 3 will ship with firefox 3?04:06
ScottKConsidering Gutsy was released with a version of it, I'd say yes.04:09
TheMusoBut shipping is different to it being in the archives IMO.04:09
gQuig1yea.. I know it'll be in the archives I am currently using it04:10
minghuaI doubt firefox 3 will be out early enough to be shipped on hardy CD.04:10
minghuaHardy, being LTS and all, probably won't use a beta version for default browser.04:11
gQuig1does it have to be fully out to make it to an alpha cd?04:11
minghuaAnd I don't see it shipping both firefox 2 and 3 either.04:11
TheMusoEven if 3 is out, I don't see it being shipped for an LTS.04:11
FujitsuTheMuso: Why not? 2 won't be supportable.04:12
FujitsuWell, it will be even less supportable.04:12
TheMusoFujitsu: Oh...04:12
FujitsuMozilla kills off old series very quickly.04:12
ScottKI do believe there is already a commitment to use xulrunner in the final release, so I think it'll be FF3.04:12
gQuig1yea.. I assumed it would ship final with 304:12
minghuagQuig1: You are still not clear with your question though, what is the "ship" you mean?  Default browser?  Installed by default?  In main?04:12
gQuig1I was asking about the alpha 304:12
gQuig1on default cd04:13
FujitsuAlpha 3 will ship with Firefox 2 on the CD.04:13
minghuaScottK: Does the firefox-3.0 currently in archive already using xulrunner?04:13
gQuig1yup04:13
minghuaEverything on the desktop CD will be installed, right?04:14
Fujitsuminghua: It depends on it.04:14
Fujitsuminghua: Except for a couple of live-specific things which are removed after it's installed.04:14
gQuig1what's the reason we can't go to firefox 3 for an alpha?04:14
minghuaNice, probably I should try it, instead of using the binary downloaded from mozilla.com.04:14
minghuas/com/org/, I think.04:14
ScottKminghua: I think so.04:14
FujitsuI find Firefox 3 to be much, much nicer than Firefox 2. It's actually usable!04:15
minghuaFujitsu, ScottK: Thanks for the info.04:15
minghuaFirefox 3 beta1 was terrible on my Debian.04:15
FujitsuWhat was wrong with it?04:16
gQuig1I find some of the features slow without video acceleration04:16
gQuig1but I'm currently running nouveau so...04:16
FujitsuThe scrolling tab bar is infuriating.04:16
FujitsuArrrrrgh!04:16
FujitsuIt's turning into Windows XP!04:17
FujitsuI don't want to be questioned when going into about:config, TYVM.04:17
gQuig1....Firefox 3 is turning into XP?04:17
ScottKConsidering we already need permission to patch it.04:17
minghuaFujitsu: What's wrong with beta1?  The font rendering was completely unbearable.  It was much better in beta2 though.04:17
FujitsugQuig1: It gives me a page warning not to do bad things when I go to about:config. XP does similar when opening up C:, Program Files, etc.04:18
gQuig1eh.. I liked it04:18
gQuig1Be careful, this gun is loaded!04:18
FujitsuHeh.04:19
minghuaFujitsu: That can be disabled in about:config, IIRC.04:20
Fujitsuminghua: Or by unchecking the `show this every time' checkbox.04:20
FujitsuLooks like it's general.warnOnAboutConfig.04:20
Fujitsu... why is there a key named general.config.obscure_value?04:21
gQuig1don't know why but I want to say for compatibility04:25
* gQuig1 would like to see firefox 3 in alpha 3 if possible to get better testing coverage and wishes all a good night04:27

peterjtechI've got a question about defualt settings for hardy. I work over on the ubuntu forums in the absolute beginners fourms answering questions, lately I've seen a bunch of problems from people with fresh installs that have all of thier repositories disabled because they installed gutsy while not connected to the internet. Is there a bug report for, or discussion, of removing the repository check during the install? It seems like a good i07:46

superm1imbrandon, you still around?11:28
Fujitsusuperm1: It's getting to the time when people in his part of the world /should/ be up. Thus, you can fairly safely say he's not.11:29
superm1Fujitsu, he does work odd hours for central time though on a regular basis11:29
superm1so i figured it'd be worth a shot11:29
superm1well if any other core-devs would have a few moments to look over the patch i was going to show imbrandon, i'd appreciate it: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3300/11:44
* persia gets reminded, and goes digging for rarely used hardware11:45
superm1persia, i was thinking more about what you said the other day, and realized there was a corner case that caused it to reconfigure itself without user asking11:45
superm1persia, hence was pre-empted this patch11:45
persiasuperm1: The changelog looks to hit all the points I had referenced, but I really should test with my hardware and get back to you.  I'll wait for the new rev to send feedback (but make sure I have my HW handy first).11:46

nixternalany archive admins hanging out today? I need a give back on kaider-kde4 that I just uploaded...thanks19:14
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
pitti_nixternal: this package doesn't seem to exist?19:22
jpatricknixternal: hasn't got past NEW19:25
pitti_nixternal: then you don't need a giveback (that's necessary for a previously failed build which should work now)19:32
=== pitti_ is now known as pitti
nixternalpitti: thanks19:50
nixternalpitti: if I upload new will it overwrite, or should I bump the revision to ensure it?19:53
pittinixternal: you mean upload the same version again?19:54
nixternalya19:54
pittinixternal: you can do that, both will be in NEW19:54
nixternalgroovy19:54
pittinixternal: but I'd prefer rejecting the previous one first to avoid confusion which is the good one19:54
nixternalk, how do I reject or request that?19:54
nixternalhaven't had to do that ever19:54
pittinixternal: so, shall I kill kaider-kde4 from NEW?19:54
nixternalyes please19:54
nixternaland I owe you a cookie, or a drink of your choice :)19:54
pittikilled; NP :)19:54
nixternalyou rock! thanks again19:55
nixternalI cd'd into the wrong directory and dput the wrong one19:55
geserpitti: do you have a suggestion what to do with a package which uses ${source:Version} to depend on an package from an other source? In Debian the versions are kept in sync but in Ubuntu one package has changes which breaks this dependency19:58
pittigeser: hm, that sounds pretty fragile to begin with19:59
pittiwhy can't we keep those in sync, too?19:59
pittiif the strict dependency is actually justified, we have to do that anyway19:59
pittiand if not, we should file a Debian bug to relax it19:59
geserwe could, but then I would need to upload an cyrus-sasl2-heimdal 2.1.22.dfsg1-16ubuntu2 as a rebuild20:00
geserthe strict dependency is from cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg to cyrus-sasl2-dbg20:00
pittihm; in this case I think a rebuild is justified (new compiler, toolchain, etc.)20:01
geserit looks odd to use ubuntu2 as a rebuild and skipping ubuntu120:03
pittioh, right, it's unmodified ATM20:03
pittiwould be unfortunate to break it indeed20:04
pittiso, I wouldn't mind fixing cyrus-sasl's dependency either20:08
geserI see now that uploading cyrus-sasl2-heimdal with ubuntu2 would also fix the unmet deps for libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal20:11
geserso I don't get hurt when I do this strange upload? :)20:11
geseror is there a better solution?20:12
dfiloniDktrKranz: ./configure && make && debuild binary giusto?20:17

geserblueyed: yes, and that it's evening in europe21:37
LaserJockthere are some core devs not in europe ;-)21:38
geserLaserJock: true, but the chance to find a non-european core-dev on a weekend here aren't much better (in particular one who is willing to do some sponsoring)21:47

LaserJockScottK: was there a rationale for adding in debian-mentors to dput.cf other than it's nice to have?22:05
ScottKLaserJock: My rationale is that it does no harm and makes it easier to contribute back to Debian (one less barrier) and that's a good thing.22:08
LaserJockright, I just wondered if there was a bug22:08
ScottKNo.  I didn't see value in filing a bug for that.22:09
ScottKI wouldn't have done it if I wasn't actually fixing something at the same time.22:09
ScottKI did recently set up a new laptop and it was slightly annoying to have to add it by hand.22:09
LaserJocksure, I think it's a good idea22:10
LaserJockwe have revu in there22:10
ScottKExactly.22:10
LaserJockScottK: hmm, actually there is a new Debian version that has a number of fixes, perhaps a merge would be good?22:15
ScottKLaserJock: I'll have a look at it.22:15

ScottKI have to run out for a while to drop one of my kids off for a church function.  I'll be back in about 45 minutes or so.22:41
LaserJockScottK: dput done as well, thanks for the merge23:07
ion_It would be nice if /etc/dput.cf had an entry for ppa by default. That would require ppa to be changed a bit, though.23:10
LaserJockion_: I don't know how you could do that. How would you determine what PPA to upload to?23:11
ion_By the signing key23:11
LaserJockthat's not enough23:12
LaserJockthat might work for personal PPAs I guess, but wouldn't for teams23:12
ion_If you want to upload to a team PPA, then you’d need to add your own ppa entry.23:12
LaserJockI guess the common use case would be for personal ppas23:13
ScottKLaserJock: Thanks.23:16
