ubotuLaunchpad bug 180357 in warzone2100 "Please sync warzone2100 version 2.1.0~0.svn3260-2 from Debian unstable (main)" [Medium,Confirmed]11:37
Fujitsupabs3: One waits. Particularly as it is a weekend.11:39
persiapabs3: It will likely get hit on Monday.11:51
pabs3cool. what about removing packages from gutsy? is that possible?11:52
persiapabs3: Only in cases of extreme legal need.  Better to remove from hardy.11:52
pabs3not even for really really buggy stuff? a buggy SVN revision of warzone2100 was imported from Debian. it either needs to be removed from gutsy or synced from sid into gutsy11:54
Gielyes, the current warzone2100 version is _very_ much outdated, and we seem to be getting bugreports for that package on our bugtracker11:58
minghuapabs3: Not going to happen.  The sensible solution is to backport the hardy version (once it's sync'ed) to gutsy.11:58
persiapabs3: If it's really, really, really buggy (as in RC buggy), it might be eligible for an SRU.11:58
Gieleven though we know that some of those bugs are fixed in later SVN versions...11:58
Gielpersia: it isn't a release candidate it's a snapshot from a very unstable development trunk11:59
=== Giel is now known as Giel|afk
persiaGiel: I realise that, and had I known three months ago, I'd have tried to find a way to not include it.  As it stands now, it's hard to fix unless it causes data loss, is a severe regression from a previous release, FTBFS, cannot be installed, or segfault on startup.12:00
Riddellhunger: valgrind merged12:30
=== Giel|afk is now known as Giel
Gielpersia: it _will_ cause incompatibility of several config files and savegames made with the version currently in gutsy _will_ break12:32
Gielwhich is something I think users should be made aware of when they upgrade their warzone210012:33
persiaGiel: That might be data loss, but it might be a candidate for a NEWS.Debian entry or richer maintainer scripts.  I'm not one of the people who can confirm something is SRU worthy, but if you think there is a patch that would make the transition less painful, and wouldn't cause transition breakage by application, it might be worth submitting it.12:34
Gielpersia: the savegame format that's used by 1436 is broken I think, so converting it to a workable savegame format might not even be possible12:37
persiaGiel: Hrm.  In that case it sounds like a bug that can't be fixed, so NEWS.Debian would be the way to go.  Pushing to backports soon, should help, as many gamers prefer to grab the latest version anyway.12:38
Gielalso lately we have been working on moving the savegames to a new format, until that's finished we'll have some intermediate formats that will break for sure12:39
Gielas long as users are aware of that I think it shouldn't be much of a problem12:39
persiaGiel: OK.  Best thing to do is to get the fixes into alioth SVN before 10th February or so in order to be sure they can be included for hardy.12:41

sorenWhile working on libvirt, I've come across a rather odd problem. The core of it is that on Fedora, the following works, but on Ubuntu, I get an -EINVAL: "brctl addbr foobr ; ifconfig foobr up". On Ubuntu, ifconfig up fails until the first interface has been added to the bridge. AFAICS, the kernel is the same and the differences in the bridge-utils packages are cosmetical..  Any guesses?20:40
ScottKsoren: How are you on perl module dependencies and sbuild getting confused?  I've got a problem I'm trying to sort out and am looking for help.20:42
sorenScottK: Not sure. What's the issue?20:43
ScottKhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/11178540/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-i386.mime-tools_5.425-0ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz20:43
ScottKlibfile-temp-perl is already installed with insufficient version, so the newer one doesn't get pulled in and then later this is discovered and sbuild gives up.20:43
ScottKBuilds fine in my local pbuilder, of course.20:45
sorenScottK: Looks quite odd.20:45
elmoScottK: err20:46
elmoScottK: I doubt that's actually installed in the chroot20:46
elmoscottk: are you sure it isn't provided by the perl package itself?20:46
elmoScottK: sbuild and pbuilder handle build-depends on virtual packages very differently20:47
ScottKelmo: I think an older version is provided by perl-modules20:47
ScottKelmo: Any suggestions?20:47
elmoScottK: if you really depend on that new a version of libfile-temp-perl?  get perl to stop providing the package...20:50
ScottKelmo: It does.20:50
sorenelmo: but... It's a versioned dependency?20:51
elmosoren: so?  sbuild doesn't have the "smarts" to figure this out.  it doesn't in Debian either20:51
sorenelmo: I see.20:51
elmoand how does the versioned dependency matter anyway?  it's not exactly a clearly defined area20:51
elmoperl-modules just says "I provde libfile-temp-perl", it doesn't mention versions explicitly20:52
ScottKSbuild shouldn't think it's already satisfied the dependency when it hasn't20:52
sorenelmo: Well, if it's a versioned dependency, it can't be fulfilled by a Provides: blah?20:52
sorenelmo: ..or so I thought.20:52
elmoin fact it C/R/P libfile-temp-perl, which is a big hint to the packaging system of 'replace this package with me instead'20:52
elmosoren: I don't think that's defined/a given, esp. given the C/R/P20:53
ScottKLooks like I need to 'fix' perl-modules then.20:53
sorenelmo: True. I didn't notice the C/R/P, though.20:53

slangaseksoren: build-depending on virtual packages is sometimes a very reasonable thing to do22:29
slangaseksoren: the issue is that you don't want to do it if there's more than one real package providing it at a time; but some yokels like to change -dev package names like they change their underwear, and the virtual package name is the only thing persistent that you can build-depend on22:30
ScottKslangasek: Any suggestions on how to deal with build-deps on perl-modules that are both in 'perl-modules' (but in insufficent version) and have newer ones packaged separately?22:33
MithrandirScottK: add versioned build-deps?22:34
ScottKMithrandir: sbuild doesn't understand those.22:34
ScottKI've got that already.22:34
elmoerr, context22:34
MithrandirScottK: uh, yes it does.22:34
elmosbuild doesn't understand them against virtual packages22:34
elmoscottk: I think you have to update the code in perl-modules22:34
elmoscottk: if you rip it out of perl-modules, you risk breaking stuff which depends on it being present in perl-modules (-> no explicit Depends)22:35
ScottKelmo: I hope you're wrong, but am afraid you aren't.22:35
ScottKMy plan was to make perl-modules depend on whatever I ripped out.22:35
elmooh, well that'd work too22:35
ScottKSo it could still be relied on to be there.22:35
ScottKBut could continue to be updated without having to update perl-modules every time.22:36
elmothe only other alternative (and I'd strongly unrecommend this) is changing the pkg name22:36
ScottKI'm not even thinking about going down that path.22:36
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
slangasekI don't understand why the flip-flop between shipping it in perl-modules and shipping it as a separate package, fwiw22:43
sorenslangasek: True, but that's kind of a special case, IMO.22:48
ScottKWell I don't exactly either, but a newer version that some packages need is now packaged separately.22:48
slangaseksoren: it's common enough that "build-depending on virtual packages is asking for trouble" is misleading. :)22:53
