Hobbseepersia: what am i supposed to export to get my gpg key right?03:56
persiaHobbsee: Hrm?  How do you mean?  For signing .changes?03:56
Hobbseepersia: yeah03:56

* persia uses export `DEBEMAIL="Emmet Hikory <persia@ubuntu.com>"; dch -i; debuild -S`03:57
persiaHobbsee: Let me take a look at your key...03:57
Hobbseeoh, so export DEBEMAIL=hobbsee@ubuntu.com doesn't work?03:57
persiaHobbsee: If you only do that, you also need DEBFULLNAME.  I overload DEBEMAIL to only have one command.03:58
* Hobbsee has overriden both usually03:58
persiaYou need `export DEBEMAIL="Sarah Hobbs (nick: Hobbsee) <hobbsee@ubuntu.com>"`03:58
Hobbseepersia: interesting, OK03:58
persia(or to otherwise get "(nick: Hobbsee)" in debian/changelog)03:59
Hobbseepersia: ahh, so that's the problem bit03:59
persiaHobbsee: Alternately, adjust your key to not have a comment for that identity, and you don't need the comment.03:59
Hobbseeyeah03:59
Hobbseepersia: apparently hardcoding it in .zshrc doesn't help04:01
* Hobbsee hardcodes it in the script04:01
persiaHobbsee: hardcoding what?04:01
Hobbseepersia: the key ID04:01
persiaHobbsee: No.  The keyID is fairly meaningless.  To have a package that doesn't look sponsored, the identity in the debian/changelog tagline needs to be an exact string match to one of the identities listed at http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x7D2BCE85&op=index04:02
persiaIf you want to change those identities, you need to edit your local key, and resync with the keyservers.04:02
Hobbseeright, yes04:02
persiaMany people hardcode DEBEMAIL or DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME in their shell initialisation scripts, but I don't think hardcoding the keyID is supported, as it tends to lead to inaccurate changelogs.04:03
* Hobbsee ponders dropping the nick then04:03
Hobbseeiv'e yet to see hardcoding the keyID break anything here04:03
Hobbseealthough apparently, for this particular script, it didn't take the alias, nor the gpgkeyid from .zshrc04:04
persiaIt would show as a sponsored upload for tools that distinguish such things (like MoM).04:04
Hobbseewell, it has to be anyway, as i can't sign it with any other key04:04
Hobbseeand if i keep the debian sig, it won't get accepted into ubuntu04:04
* Hobbsee can't sign it with the installer key, due to ENODRESCHER.04:05
persiaIf you're sponsoring, just use debuild -S -sa -k7d2bce8504:05
* Hobbsee was using thsi sync script, which effectively does that :)04:05
* persia suspects the sync script of checking too many things, and has always needed to further adjust with vi when using it, but has only used it when no archive admins could sync, which may not be an ideal sample set.04:06
Hobbseepersia: perhaps so.  i'm not sure what it's from.  i'm not sure if they normally use it04:07
persiaHobbsee: For sponsoring a sync: build the source package with -uc -us.  Add the correct Origin to source.changes.  debsign the .dsc and the .changes with your sponsoring key.  Upload.04:07
persiaAnyway, I thought there was supposed to be an LP interface to that by now...04:07
Hobbseepersia: i ended up running the sync-script package, watching it bail out, then debsigning and uploading.04:08
persiaHobbsee: Which package?04:08
Hobbseewhich is fine, according to the script04:08
Hobbseeer, cli-common04:08
Hobbseethere isnt'.  there's probably supposed to be...04:08
Hobbseepersia: actually, there won't be for a while.  stuff still gets accepted into main by default from LP04:09
persiaAh.  YALPB.  Right.  Why don't I see cli-common in Accepted?04:09
Hobbseeit's hit hardy-changes04:09
Hobbseenothing strange should happen to it - LP will class it as a normal upload04:09
Hobbseelp might not know about it yet, if all the runes haven't been done yet04:10
persiaHobbsee: Right.  I just want to look at .changes to see if I want to say anything for next time.04:10
Hobbseeahhh04:10
persiaRunes?  Shouldn't it hit Accepted around the same time it pushes to .changes?04:10
Hobbseei'm not sure, tbh04:11
Hobbseei know launchpad takes quite some time to do certain things04:11
Hobbseefujitsu could probably tell you, if he were here04:11
persiaHobbsee: That looks like a clean sync to me.04:12
Hobbseepersia: yeah, good :)04:12
persia(Except that it required extra LP processing, but that's not easy to resolve in the presence of YALPB)04:12
Hobbseewell, it's like a normal upload.  *shrug*04:12
Hobbseei don't see how it required more LP processing, tbh04:13
persiaWell, yes, but I've been told not to do uploads for syncs because it makes LP slower.04:13
persiaYou're special, as you are in the right groups to do stuff, even though you can't due to YALPB.04:13
LaserJockwhat's the B in YALPB?04:14
persiaLaserJock: Bug.04:14
Hobbseepersia: oh, does it?04:14
* Hobbsee didn't use special groups, etc04:14
LaserJockah, right04:14
Hobbseepersia: did they say why it makes LP slower?04:15
emgentgood night people04:15
persiaHobbsee: pitti told me he'd rather I file 50 bugs and leave them open than file 50 bugs and close them.  Something about uploads being treated differently than syncs (although I don't understand the details).04:15
Hobbseepersia: hm, fair enough04:16
* TheMuso wills the storms to arrive. Tis not often that Sydney gets them first.05:38
persiaAre they coming from the east?  That seems odd.05:39
TheMusoNo, west. However a few storms have past to the north and south of where I am.05:40
TheMusoSo they have hit, but in non-populated areas.05:40
persiaIsn't that better?  Less inconvenience, but the water table still rises?05:40
TheMusoYes, but its quite warm and humid here, and rain is needed.05:41
persiaIn that case, I guess it makes sense.  We only get Typhoons here for rain in the summer, which is rarely a good thing (although the weather is milder thereafter).05:41
TheMusonasty05:43
crimsunok, UI discussion if anyone's around and up for some simplification.05:55
crimsuntake a look at the PulseAudio menu items in http://trilug.org/~crimsun/Screenshot.png05:55
persiaThat's four.  Isn't Manager launched from the Device Chooser applet?05:56
crimsunwell, it's nasty for one thing05:56
persiaFor that matter, also Volume Control, and Volume Meter?05:56
crimsunyes.05:56
crimsunpadevchooser will grab, through Recommends, paman, pavucontrol, and pavumeter05:57
persiaI'm not sure that paman pavucontrol and pavumeter need to be shown in the default menu then.  As long as padevchooser is there, users should get it in the panel, and then launch the others from there.  Probably good to also include .desktop files for these though, just to make app-install-data happy.05:58
crimsunI'm considering collapsing that menu akin to eog's approach05:58
persiaI don't even have a menu item for eog, which annoys me when I want to launch it to browse some specific directory for which nautilus navigation would take a long time.05:59
crimsunOTOH, there's a use case I need to consider: user installs pavucontrol and scratches his/her forehead, "where's that darned menu entry?"05:59
crimsun(and yes, there're plans to overhaul the UI for the PA tools, but that's unlikely to land in 8.04)05:59
crimsunsame use case applies to paman and pavumeter06:00
crimsunit does not, however, apply to padevchooser, since this last package will grab the others06:00
persiaWouldn't most users want padevchooser?  I don't understand the use case for one of paman, pavucontrol or pavumeter without this.06:00
crimsunwell, the most likely case I foresee is that _only_ pavucontrol gets promoted to main and shipped with desktop06:00
persiaAh.  If that is the plan, then pavucontrol needs a .desktop entry.  Hmm.06:01
persias/.desktop/menu/06:02
crimsunyeah, I'll just add "NoDisplay=true" to desktop* for now06:06
crimsunpresently, it's just a damned mess06:06
persiaI agree it's a mess.  If none of them appear in the menu, and padevchooser isn't in the session by default, how do users control their volume?06:06
crimsunthrough mixer_applet per usual06:07
crimsunthey won't have stream-migrating abilities through it, though06:07
crimsun(which reminds me of amitk's plans for integrating troubleshooting into gnome-media, but that's another issue altogether)06:08
persiaSo for hardy, we'll include the new sound server (as esd is just plain cruft), but not expose the tools to manipulate it by default, preserving the current interface.  Then for hardy+1, the new upstream interface is released, and users can take advantage of the new tool by default?  That sounds sane.06:09
crimsunthat's the hope.06:09
crimsunpeople are going to want padevchooser, though, I think.06:10
persiaI expect.  Why can't that go to main and -desktop?06:10
crimsunit can, it's just a bit less likely than just pavucontrol06:11
crimsunI suppose it really just requires some effort for the MIRs06:11
crimsunneed to run the ideas past pitti, though06:12
persiaIf there's no blockers on the MIRs, I don't see why it shouldn't be promoted.  Whether it goes into -desktop or not is another issue.06:12
crimsunor ted.  Hmm.06:12
RAOFHm.  Where should a request for a 32bit pulseaudio alsa plugin go?  ia32-libs or alsa-plugins?06:31
crimsunboth.06:32
crimsunand - UGH.06:32
persiacrimsun: Didn't you have an alternative for libflashsupport in the works?06:33
crimsunpersia: I didn't, no.  Debian has flashplugin-nonfree-pulse (in git)06:33
crimsunthe version of libflashsupport currently in hardy is simply my GnuTLS hack on top of Fedora's git package by Lennart.06:34
crimsunDebian's flashplugin-nonfree-pulse does not support OSS, OpenSSL, GnuTLS, or ALSA - only pulse.06:35
TheMusocrimsun: Did you by chace read my core-dev app? I know you didn't respond to it, but thought you may have seen it. Since you are withdrawing from the community, one of my plans for core dev was to eventually keep the audio effort up, at least in userspace...06:40

TheMusough keyboad06:40

crimsunTheMuso: I've read the thread now (beginning with https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/motu-council/2007-December/000659.html).  Did you have something(s) specific?06:44
TheMusocrimsun: Well, alsa-utils, -lib, and pulse stuff in main. As I said in that post, I'll gradulally work my way into it, first with bugfixes, and as I get to know them better, and see what Debian is doing as well as upstream etc, I'll be will ing to take more on06:48
crimsunTheMuso: ok, best of luck!06:48
TheMusocrimsun: thanks06:49

LucidFoxhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/d3lphin <-- What's the point of this?10:30
LucidFoxEspecially since there is https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dolphin10:31
LucidFoxwhich is basically the same thing10:31
geserLucidFox: looks like it was renamed: Rename package to d3lphin - New dolphin project for KDE3 (from the changelog)10:34
geserLucidFox: Debian has dolphin now only in stable10:34
LucidFoxso, it was autosynced before DIF and nobody caught it?10:35
persiaOne of those should likely be removed, no?10:35
* Hobbsee wonders what this is about10:35
geserHobbsee: about dolphin/d3lphin10:36
Hobbseeone's for kde3, the other is for kde4.  what's the problem?10:36
LucidFoxactually, no10:36
LucidFoxdolphin in Ubuntu is actually d3lphin10:36
LucidFoxfor KDE310:36
HobbseeLucidFox: correct.  and?10:36
persiaHobbsee: Are they supportable in parallel?10:37
LucidFoxthen perhaps one of them should be removed, and the other should have a transitional package10:37
Hobbseepersia: yes10:37
HobbseeLucidFox: no.  would you replace kde3 with kde4, and stick kde3 as a transitional package?10:37
LucidFoxerm10:37
Hobbseepersia: well, as supported as d3phin ever was.10:37
Hobbsee(which was only by it's authors)10:38
\shafaik, dolphin for kde3 is separated from kdebase3 and dolphin in kde4 is the default in kdebase, but I could be wrong10:38
LucidFoxthe Ubuntu source package "dolphin" contains d3lphin10:38
persiaLucidFox: KDE3 + KDE4 is special for hardy.  It's a parallel support.  Usually we don't support that, but for this case we will.10:38
geserHobbsee: both dolphin and d3lphin are for kde3? or is one for kde4?10:38
LucidFoxand the Ubuntu source package "d3lphin" _also_ contains d3lphin10:38
Hobbseegeser: d3phin is for kde3, hence the 3.  dolphin itslef is a kde4 thing10:38
LucidFoxdolphin-kde4 is provided by kdebase-kde410:39
LucidFoxnot by any of these two packages10:39
\shwell10:39
\shLucidFox: is correct10:39
Hobbseeoh, hang on10:39
Hobbseethis is strange naming10:39
\shdolphin is ubuntu package from tonio10:39
* persia agrees with Lucidfox10:39
\shand d3lphin is synced from debian looks like...both are the same10:39
geserHobbsee: when I look at https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dolphin the changelog mentions "Rebuild with kdesdk-script 4:3.5.8-1ubuntu6" so it looks like kde3 for me10:40
\shwell ours has more b-ds ,-)10:40
\shgeser: this is not important...kdelibs4-dev is important, which is kde3 , kde4 would be kdelibs510:40
Hobbseeer, actually looking at the descriptions, not the naming, d3lpin would appear to be the debian package, dolphin source would be hte kde3 package, which is in main anyway, and dolphin for kde4 seems to be in kdebase-kde410:41
Hobbseetherefore, it would make sense for the kubuntu people to merge dolphin with d3lphin as far as possible, and keep it there.10:43
LucidFoxAnd if they're merged into dolphin, blacklist d3lphin from autosync?10:44
\shthis is a mess.10:44
\shthe project is named d3lphin...so debian is right...10:45
Hobbseei think so.  but it may be able to get all of our patches back into debian for that, then sync it10:45
Hobbsee\sh: yeah.  i've no idea why they named it otherwise...10:46
LucidFoxThe problem seems to be that d3lphin was uploaded into Gutsy over the defunct Dolphin KDE3 branch, even though it's technically a fork10:46
LucidFoxand it happened after DIF10:46
LucidFox(for Gutsy)10:47
Hobbseeerm...10:47
LucidFoxin the meantime, Debian made their own package for d3lphin10:47
LucidFoxwhich got autosynced in Hardy10:47
\sh  * Rename package to d3lphin - New dolphin project for KDE3. Add dolphin10:47
\sh    as a dummy package to ease the transition.10:47
Hobbseei don't see the relevance of it being a fork, as such10:47
\shthat was for d3lphin (0.9.1-1) unstable; urgency=low10:47
\shdolphin was the orignal name of the package until then10:48
LucidFoxAh.10:48
Hobbsee\sh: presumably ours never merged again, for some reason10:48
LucidFoxI think it makes sense to merge into d3lphin and make dolphin transitional, to reduce divergence from Debian10:49
\shHobbsee: because we always worked with the upstream tarball (0ubuntuX versions)10:49
\shHobbsee: we never synced from debian10:49
\shwell it makes more sense to pull the changes from debian svn into kubuntu bzr and track those changes10:50
Hobbsee\sh: i doubt upstream will release again10:51
LucidFoxWhy not?10:51
Hobbseebecause kde4 is out?10:51
Hobbseeand there are only a couple of developers on it anyway, iirc10:51
persiaI thought there was another couple KDE3 releases planned to support SuSE10:51
LucidFoxOn an unrelated note, Hobbsee, could you please rerun the build process for https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkblot/0.99.9-0ubuntu1 ?10:53
* \sh is also stuck and fcked with galculator...10:53
\shubuntu mobile developers applied some hildon patches, especially for glade...and new upstream version is there...but no updated glade interfaces...10:54
\shI could break the mobile stuff and remove the patch and merge new upstream only...and never think of hildon again10:54

persiaMaybe common-dev?  Anyone else have a suggestion?11:32
mok0persia: those are data files that are _always_ needed11:32
persiamok0: Right, but do we need 10 copies in the archive?  Put them in a arch:all package, and add a Depends to make sure they get installed.11:33
mok0persia: ok, I didn't think of archive space11:33
mok0persia: will do11:33
persiamok0: Last one is that lintian doesn't like your doc-base file.11:34
persiaOK.  Who's next?11:34

persiamok0: Better to put the bug in the changelog than in IRC, no?  And yes, the bugs should be "In Progress" if you've a candidate on REVU.11:41
mok0persia: closed bug in mmdb's changlog11:41

persiamok0: There's an annoying patch to CDBS that makes me encourage the use of DEB_INSTALL_CHANGELOGS_ALL11:47
mok0persia: what's annoying about it?11:48
persiamok0: Upstream changelogs are silently dropped from all CDBS packages by default.11:48

persiageser: I don't have it either.  Have you checked Contents.gz in gutsy?11:59
\shgeser, well, I wonder what magic we have in initramfs ;)12:02

pochustgraber: you might want to contact the owner of the ITP to share the work and collaborate, so I pointed it out to you :)12:12

\shgeser, you know, it's a mess when packages are synced or merged without understanding the impacts...when you read the refpolicy changelog, you know we need to use /lib/init/rw in some cases, because it's manufactured for debian..and ubuntu is a bit behind of the recommended way of doing things...12:16

mok0persia: I will check the logs on the ftp server12:27
DktrKranzgeser, probably because we want it to be stopped during an upgrade12:27
persiamok0: I'll keep the unpacked source around to scan on demand.12:27

brooniegeser: I have had a more detailed look at that aqsis bug - it looks to be at least partly aqsis' fault; it's replacing hte SCons-supplied Install and InstallAs methods.12:48
persiajuliank: If you're going to use the new copyright format, consider X-Format-Specification, and X-Debianized-By.  See http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/revu1-incoming/gpp4-0801110100/gpp4-1.0.4/debian/copyright for an example.12:49

geserbroonie: thanks for looking12:49
brooniegeser: http://scons.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1884 is a (rather badly reported) upstream bug.12:53
broonieSee also http://bugs.debian.org/458849; as I said the other day there's also a preexisting FTBFS for aqsis in Debian which has not had any response so I'm not convinced that resolving the immediate problem will help.12:55

pochuasoundconf?13:09
persiajuliank: I really don't like anything going into the Ubuntu archives without information indicating who is licensing it to Ubuntu.  This is especially true as Ubuntu changelogs get dropped when it goes to Debian, so the original packager (and person licensing it to the distribution) is lost.  That's one of the reasons I don't like the new format.13:10
pochuYeah that's the one13:10
persiapochu: Right asoundconf.  Sorry.13:10
=== thekorn__ is now known as thekorn
mok0juliank: ... and which is why I think the "X-" lines are pretty nifty13:11

persiaI also had to restart alsa from the init script (but I have to do that every boot anyway, so it might just be me)13:12
mok0persia, juliank: I put them in the wiki at the request of Charles Plessy; he liked to proposal13:13
persiajuliank: Even aside from whether it indicates who licenses the package, your debian/copyright isn't in RFC822 format13:14
juliankmok0, persia: The original packager has to be kept if files are kept. When the package gets into Debian, the new maintainer has to keep the copyright part from the Ubuntu history.13:14
juliankpersia: It's part of the proposal "Also, it is important to allow any form of free text in the file, be it before or after the machine-interpretable part."13:15
persiajuliank: You're conflating copyright and licensing.  For many packages, the contents of debian/ are a shared work, based heavily on the work of previous packages, and licensed as shared.  The holder of copyright for this may not be the person providing the license to the distribution to use the files.13:16
juliankpersia: But we have 'Files: *' and 'Files: debian/*', one for upstream files, one for debian files. BTW, even readahead-list was accepted without any information about debian/* in its copyright file: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/r/readahead-list/readahead-list_0.20050517.0220-0ubuntu11/copyright13:21
persiajuliank: You are again conflating the copyright holder for debian/ and the person who is extending the licensed work to the distribution.  These aren't always the same.  Anyway, I don't consider another package not matching my tests to be sufficient reason to lower them.  You may find another reviewer less strict.13:23
pochupersia: I'll reboot to see if it fixes it. Restarting alsa-utils didn't help.13:23
persiapochu: Rebooting shouldn't do anything restarting alsa-utils didn't do (unless you have a new kernel or libc or something).13:24

mok0the_belgain: only if you need it created as an empty directory16:17
mok0the_belgain: is is for plugins or so?16:18
the_belgainany ideas as to why i needed to manually add Depends: for liblame, libflac, libmpcdec, libfaad?16:18
mok0the_belgain: is your code linked to those libs?16:18
RainCTI've just seen there's a Wordpress package in the repos... is there also Wordpress MU?16:20
the_belgainmok0: it looks like not16:21
mok0the_belgain: why do you need these packages then?16:21
bddebianHeya gang16:24
the_belgainwell i'm wondering whether they should be being linked in - lame is definitely used for transcoding16:24
mok0the_belgain: if fuppes spawns a process that runs lame as a encoder, you should depend on the lame binary, not the library16:26
mok0the_belgain: libfaad2-dev does not exist in hardy16:26
* mok0 fires up his gutsy pbuilder16:27
the_belgainfuppes doesn't need the lame binary installed - compiling from source with just the dependencies pulled in by liblame-dev (i.e. liblame0-dev, but not lame) works16:28
mok0I see16:28
the_belgainsee eg. http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/wiki/index.php/Compiling_on_Linux16:29
the_belgainmok0: i've now fixed up libfaad2-dev (to be libfaad-dev) - i'll set up a hardy pbuilder and check it works16:30

=== apachelogger_ is now known as apachelogger
the_belgainmok0, josesanch: i'm uploading an updated fuppes package incorporating all the suggested changes, so that i don't get similar feedback from anyone else reviewing it16:44
mok0the_belgain: the fuppes package also contains development libraries, which it shouldn't16:44
mok0the_belgain: in debian/ create a file name fuppes.install, that lists all the files that should be included16:45
RainCTDoes anyone know if X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true (in a .desktop file) work in Ubuntu (GNOME)?16:45
mok0the_belgain: you don't need libfuppes.a, libfuppes.la, libfuppes.so,16:46
the_belgainso the fuppes.install file should contain the list of installed files, with those ones pruned out16:47
the_belgain?16:47
mok0it should contain "usr/bin/", "usr/lib/libfuppes.so.*" and that's it16:48
mok0the_belgain: and you should write manpages for fuppes and fuppesd16:49
josesanchthe_belgain: Ok. i'll review again.16:49
the_belgainsurely the fuppes.install needs fuppes and fuppesd too?16:49
mok0the_belgain: it is enough to list the directory they're in16:49

the_belgaindo you mean "usr/lib/libfuppes.so*" or "usr/lib/libfuppes.so.*" above?16:54

pochucrimsun: should I try removing it too?16:56
mok0Yes16:57
crimsunpochu: ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf is not used without ~/.asoundrc  (the latter includes the former)16:57
mok0the_belgain: Put this: Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com16:58
pochucrimsun: ok16:58
crimsunpochu: thus, removing the former is unnecessary and demonstrates that neither alsa-lib nor alsa-utils affected the symptom16:58

pochuhey imbrandon, and not that I know of17:22
imbrandoncrimsun: quick question about sound ( sorry, dont know a better source to ask ) , if i aoss wrap a program, do i have to do anything special to other native alsa apps?17:22
pochuHmm well I'm not a member of -council so I won't know it ;)17:22
imbrandonpochu: thanks17:22
* imbrandon wonders how long the terms are, i would consider nominating myself IF it was only a 1 year term, i dont want to make a longer term commitment atm17:23
pochuimbrandon: you can step down at any moment, can't you? :)17:23
imbrandonpochu: yea17:24
* pochu likes the new proposal better than the old one, but wonders whether nominating privately so the council and the TB evaluates the nominations is a good or a bad idea.17:24
pochuMaybe those evaluations should be done by the team itself...17:25
LucidFoxDoes pbuilder use debuild, or does it call dpkg-buildpackage directly? (Not like I care, but I'm writing a Wikipedia article on the Debian build toolchain)17:25
imbrandonLucidFox: afaik it calls dpkg-buildpackage , but i would verify that in the source to make sure17:27
crimsunimbrandon: aoss is solely for OSS apps.17:28
imbrandonright , i'm trying to make an oss only app play nice with my system17:28
imbrandon( TeamSpeak )17:28
imbrandonso i figured the easy way was to wrap it in aoss17:29
imbrandoncorrect ?17:29
crimsunyes.  However, TS is a real PTA.17:29
crimsunPITA*17:29
imbrandonhehe yea, i've noticed17:29
crimsunyou _may_ have luck with telling the oss emulation to skip using alsa-lib plugins17:30
imbrandoni even thought about running it in wine, just to let wine handle the abstration17:30
imbrandonabstraction*17:30
imbrandonTS3 is supose to fix all this, but that could be ages away17:31
geserpochu: the council will forward all nominations (with added comments) to the TB and doesn't do any selection17:31
crimsune.g., # echo "TS_executable 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0[pc]/oss17:31
pochugeser: so the TB will do it, right? At least that's what I understand.17:31
pochugeser: Otherwise it seems a bit stupid to me :)17:31
imbrandoncrimsun: should i try running it like that ?17:31
crimsunimbrandon: you'd need to try that and then execute TS17:32
geserpochu: yes, but I don't know how they will do it17:32
crimsunimbrandon: that, however, is only for OSS and not aoss17:32
imbrandonok , and the latter wrapped in aoss correct?17:32
imbrandonohh ok17:32
crimsunimbrandon: _and_ you'd likely lose software multiopen17:32
imbrandonmultiopen ?17:33
crimsuncommonly incorrectly called "hardware mixing"17:33
imbrandonbasicly i just want to be able to use a game and TS at the same time, the game is alsa so no issues there17:33
pochugeser: I mean that it might make more sense if it was the team itself who did the selection, and not the TB, since we know ourselves better than the TB do (although I guess that's what the comments from the council are for :) )17:33
imbrandoncrimsun: ahh17:34
imbrandonyea i doubt i have any kind of hardware mixing, i'm using whatever is built onboard my MB17:34
pochugeser: but this is much better than it was before (thanks ScottK ;)17:34
LucidFoximbrandon> Doesn't PulseAudio handle it?17:34
LucidFoxwith padsp for OSS applications17:34
imbrandonhehe ( not even sure what card it is tbh, it "just works" )17:34
imbrandonsome kinda nvidia card using ac97 drivers i'm guessing , but i dont even know how to check, sound is one of my weakest points17:35
imbrandons/one of/definately17:36
crimsunLucidFox: it doesn't work any better.17:36
geserpochu: if the MC does the selection then it it like before where. the new proposal tries to avoid it that the mc selects the new proposed members17:36
crimsun(padsp is equivalent to aoss.)17:36
crimsunimbrandon: if you want to be adventurous, probably use OSSv417:37
imbrandoncrimsun: i dont mind being adventureous hehe17:37
imbrandons/e//17:37
pochugeser: yeah, now it's the team members who nominate themselves, but I'm not sure I like the TB doing some filtering, and the nominations being private...17:37
imbrandonreally i'm looking for the easest awnser, but really i dont care, its sunday and i have not much else to do :)17:38
imbrandonhrm is OSSv4 non free ( not that i'm against that, just curious from the looks of it )17:43
imbrandoncrimsun: ^17:43
imbrandonfree as in code, not beer17:43
geserpochu: let's see how this ends. the process still can be improved if we see that it still has some issues, but it's an improvement17:45
geserpochu: the idea behind the private nominations was to prevent a public flaming of some nominees17:46
crimsunimbrandon: no, it's Free.17:46
pochugeser: yeah, that's what I thought, and that's why I said 'I'm not sure' instead of 'I don't like' ;)17:46
jonnymindhello all.17:47
pochugeser: but I agree this looks better. Let's see how it goes as you said :)17:47
crimsunimbrandon: it's dual-licensed GPLv2 and CDDL.  See http://developer.opensound.com/sources/17:47
crimsunerr, CDDLv117:47
jonnymindI am rewriting the debian/copyright. I would like to know; the "copyright" notice (year) refers to the package or to the upstream software?17:47
imbrandonupstream17:48
pochuUpstream. You can add a line regarding the packaging at the end of it. (dh_make adds it)17:48
imbrandonmost everything except the top and bottom lines in debian/copyright should refer to the upstream17:48
imbrandontop == debinized by ..... , bottom == as pochu said17:49
jonnymindAnd the license that must be reported in the debian/copyright file is the license of the package or the license of the upstream software?17:49
imbrandonjonnymind: both asre refered to in that file, but the package lic is normaly only a one liner at the the bottom17:50
imbrandonthe rest is all about upstream17:50
jonnymindI see.17:50
imbrandonlemme see if i can find a good example, ( note that debian is looking at making a new format policy , but that should matter not atm )17:51
somerville32Is anyone working on the queue today? I have four in there.17:52
jonnymindimbradon: if I am not wrong, python is not released under GPL license.17:55
imbrandon... ok? how does that impact what i said ?17:56
somerville32I'm pretty sure Python isn't released under the GPL17:56
somerville32jonnymind, and try not to use double negation :P It can get confusing.17:56
jonnyminddouble? where?17:57
somerville32"if I am _not_ wrong, python is _not_ released under GPL license."17:57
=== ember_ is now known as ember
jonnymindThis is not double negation. These are two sentences.17:58
imbrandona comma dosent make a new sentance :)17:58
imbrandonanyhow no biggie, i got your point17:58
pochuI think that's correct, isn't it?17:59
jonnymindimbradon: two verbs does.17:59
jonnymindimbradon: may I use python debian/copyright as a template?17:59
imbrandonjonnymind: no, a sentance is based on punctuation only, even if its a run on sentance, or wrong, like this one, its still one sentance.17:59
somerville32"if I am right, python is not released under GPL license"  is much clearer and removes the double negation18:00
imbrandonjonnymind: lemme look18:00
imbrandonone moment18:00
jonnymindit seems python debian/copyright would be plainly rejected by persia.18:01
imbrandonthat doesnt look to be a good example, although it follow policy , its messy18:01
jonnymindGreat.18:01
imbrandonjonnymind: basicly its like this ....18:02
imbrandonthe first line in debian/copyright is "this package was debinized by : blah vopyright blah" refering to the package18:02
imbrandonthe last line is the packaging copyright and lic again, eg if the "packaging" is gplv2 or such18:03
imbrandoneverything inbetween is upstream18:03

jonnymindHowever, the notice is imprecise.19:01
jonnymindthe bug "needs packaging" for my project has been opened in 2007, while the other package with the same name was opened in 2008.19:02
jonnymindMoreover, I was negotiating with those person about the package and binary names. We were talking about what to do, then the conversation stopped and the other package has been started.19:03
jonnymindI think we should discuss a bit the namespace question.19:03

mok0he's in japan19:12
pochu(pong)19:13
jonnymindpochu: ok; the content is right above.19:13
mok0jonnymind: why don't you just call it "falcon-repo-manager"19:14
jonnymindmok0: mine is the language.19:14
pochumok0: this is a programming language ;)19:14
jonnymindTHAT one is the repo manager.19:14
mok0jonnymind: ah :-)19:14
mok0Anyway, I like descriptive package names19:14
jonnyminduhm... descriptive as "python" "perl" and "ruby"?19:15
mok0hehe19:15
jonnymindI like them too. And I like equality and fair treatment of equivalent merits.19:15
mok0programming languages are ok, so yours should be "falcon" and the other one "falcon-repo-manager"19:15
mok0but it will be confusing anyway, because users will conflate the two packages19:17
crimsunwell, if you really want descriptiveness, you should consider "falcon-lang"19:17
jonnymindI can go for falconpl; I already told it.19:17
jonnymindit's also the name of the site.19:17
jonnymindBut changing the name of the interpreter (which is ELF c code) is a bit different.19:17
jonnymindWould cause several hundrets changes needed in docs, i.e.19:18
mok0jonnymind: you need a Conflicts:19:18
jonnymindmok0: I don't see why if you install a language you should conflict with a package manager written in another langauge.19:19
jonnymindBut if no other solution is viable, I can do it.19:19
mok0jonnymind: it depends what happens when you go "falcon" in the shell19:19
mok0if both packages attempt to install a "falcon" binary19:20
jonnymindChanging the name of the package is ok. Changing the name of the binary files would cause several days of work to be redone, and distress to the users.19:20
mok0exactly19:20
mok0so you need a  "Conflicts: falcon" in debian/control19:20
jonnymindFine.19:21
jonnymindI will post a falconpl package with that conflict. We'll see what to do at a later stage.19:21
mok0jonnymind: good idea19:22
mok0jonnymind: but you may want to check out the "falcon" package, to make sure that there actually is a clash of binary names19:22
jonnymindIt is: we were talking with the person developing the software, that has a falcon script that lanunches python falcon.py19:23
jonnymindAnd that bash script apparently goes in /usr/bin/falcon19:24
jonnymind(yet, starting a package with the same name after that we have discussed the thing with the author, and after he said he wasn't like doing packages for ubuntu seems a bit of dirty play, and exploitation of preferential position with packagers, seen from here).19:24

jonnymindYes.22:09
pochuSo will you call it falcon in Debian?22:09
jonnymindMaybe.22:09
pochuHeh, ok.22:09
jonnymindWe could have openly negotitiated /usr/bin/falcon. I was willing to rename the package falconpl.22:09
jonnymindThe guy had my mail.22:09
pochu(that's I find funny) :)22:09
pochu+what22:09
jonnymindEven if that would have costed me several days of works in updating documentation, scripts, build systems, etc.22:10
jonnymindAnd would have caused problems to my users.22:10
pochuThat's not neccessary. You can just Conflict with the other falcon.22:10
jonnymindNow I will just add Conflict; hope noone feels offended.22:11
pochuNot at all. At least not me :)22:11
ScottKjonnymind: Why not put your executable at /usr/bin/falconpl/falcon?22:11
jonnymind:-)22:11
jonnymindScottK: it wouldn't been found as falcon in path, and it wouldn't be compatible with mac and windows22:12
jonnymindAnd solaris.22:12
jonnymindAnd bsd22:12
ScottKBut you can put it there just in the Debian package and add the dir to the path22:12
ScottKJust move it there in debian/rules22:12
jonnymindShould I mangle the system path dir of hudred thousand users?22:12
* ScottK isn't sure. Just throwing out something else to consider22:13
* ScottK would need to read FHS again to be sure22:13
jonnymindHowever, ubuntu MOTU can find any reasonable way to fix the clash.22:13
pochuOr /bin/falcon22:13
pochuAnyway, this is what Conflicts was created for, isn't it?22:13
jonnymindI don't want to stay in charge of the packages forever: we'll find professional packagers as the project grows. Gentoo and Fedora packaging is currently being submitted too.22:14
jonnymindYes.22:14
pochuI'm just thinking that it will be a pain to maintain it if it's called falcon in Debian and falconpl in Ubuntu.22:14
jonnymindI cannot possibly stay in charge of all the packaging, and I don't really want to.22:14
jonnymindpochu: it is not the only case.22:15
jonnymindThere are many packages shifting names between distros.22:15
pochujonnymind: the other cases are probably a pain to maintain22:15
pochujonnymind: but we sync packages from Debian22:15
jonnymindpochu: I am sorry about that.22:15
jonnymindI am sure we'll find a solution.22:15
jonnymindIf we talk.22:15
pochuSo if you package it in Debian, it can be synced to Ubuntu and you don't need to package it twice22:15
pochuBut if there's already a falcon source package in Ubuntu then it won't be synced to not overwrite it.22:16
jonnymindpocuh: again, I am sorry about that.22:17
jonnymindI am sure a frank and open talk would have solved this problem before it was born, and I have started the talk and always shown very collaborative.22:17
jonnymindNo, I have BEEN very collaborative.22:17
ScottKjonnymind: Conflicts is more usually used for packages that provide equivalent functionality.22:18
jonnymindScottK: that is absolutely true.22:18
ScottKjonnymind: Have you discussed this with imbrandon?22:19
pochujonnymind: (I'm not blaming you, just in case I'm not expressing well)22:19
NafalloSeveas and imbrandon.22:20
TheMusos/c22:20
TheMusough damn keyboard22:21
jonnymindScottK: No, I have discussed with the original author of the other falcon.22:21
pochuThat's Seveas.22:21
jonnymindWell, I have started the discussion and replied to its e-mail.22:21
jonnymindIn which he stated he wasn't going to make a package.22:21
ScottKjonnymind: Right, and he didn't22:22
pochu(which is true, the package was done by imbrandon)22:22
pochuScottK: you beat me22:22
jonnymindAh.22:22
* pochu is eating pizza, so he's not that fast ;)22:22
ScottKjonnymind: My concern right now (not having a great interest in either package) is that if you upload your package as falcon to Debian, then it's going to cause trouble between Ubuntu and Debian that it would be better to avoid.22:22
jonnymindSo Imbradon knew there was a falcon package made in december.22:22
jonnymindso it's comment here:22:22
* Nafallo steals pochu's pizza so he can be fast again22:23
jonnymindhttp://revu.tauware.de/details.py?package=falcon22:23
Seveaspackages for 'the other falcon' have existed since 200622:23
pochuNafallo: that would be the last slice!22:23
jonnymindseems a bit interesting...22:23
pochuSeveas: not in the Ubuntu repo22:23
ScottKHi Seveas.22:23
jonnymindEh? -- where?22:23
Seveasand imbrandon intended to upload them since mid 200722:23
Seveasor even earlier22:23
jonnymindAh... now I understand.22:23
ScottKjonnymind: However this is going to get sorted out, please sort it out here and don't upload a package with the same name as Seveas's falcon to Debian.  It's just going to cause Debian/Ubuntu confusion.22:24
jonnymindbecause, othwrwise ... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/falcon22:24
Seveasimbrandon will upload my falcon to debian as well22:25
Seveasat least he said he would :)22:25
jonnymindSeveas: again; the package here is named falconpl now.22:25
jonnymindThat closes the question.22:25
Nafalloboth packages use /usb/bin/falcom? :-)22:26
Nafallos/m/n22:26
jonnymindI do.22:26
ScottKjonnymind: Except your Debian ITP is for a package named falcon, so it doesn't close the question at all.22:27
pochuNafallo: and falconpl conflicts with falcon22:27
jonnymindITP isn't related with a direct upload.22:27
jonnymindIt's on the mentor's side to decide for packages.22:27
Nafallopochu: without being the same thing? that's just ugly :-/22:27
jonnymindThey will decide the name of the package as well as other details.22:27
ScottKjonnymind: ITP has the package name.22:27
jonnymindScottK: Mentors makes packages, so they decide.22:28
ScottKIdeally a sponsor will just review the work, decide it's good, and upload.  Don't leave decisions to the sponsor.22:28
jonnymindScottK: And if they decide that it's not good, they won't.22:28
ScottKjonnymind: Yes, but your ITP says you are making a package named "falcon".22:28
NafalloI would rename that ITP...22:28
* ScottK would hope jonnymind will.22:29
ScottKHaving a consistent package namespace between Debian and Ubuntu is very important.22:29
pochujonnymind: do you know the difference between ITP and RFP? Because it looks to me like if you were waiting for someone else to package falcon...22:29
jonnymindScottK: I am willing to do it. I may do it. I will do it, if everyone agrees.22:30
ScottKjonnymind: What agreement is needed?  Can't you just do it?22:30
jonnymindpochu: No, I have already the package sitting here. But Mentor role is a bit more extensive than MOTU roles, so it seems.22:30
jonnymindI.e. I cannot upload the package. It must be taken by the mentor, possibly changed and then uploaded.22:30
pochuNafallo: at least Seveas's falcon isn't written in jonnymind's falcon ;-)22:31
Seveaspochu, rofl22:31
Nafallopochu: haha22:31
Seveasthat would be sick :)22:31
Nafalloconflictorama :-)22:31
ScottKjonnymind: Depens on who's sponsoring in Debian, it's often a lot like it is here where they give you comments until they are happy.22:31
Seveascouldn't have happened either, my falcon is much older22:31
ryanakcahmm... what would you call the debian packaging structure if you were to put it on a resume? "Python, CSS, HTML, Debian Packaging System" ?22:31
ScottKSeveas: What is your falacon written in?22:31
SeveasPython22:31
Seveasand Django :)22:32
Seveas(which is Python)22:32
awalton__Seveas, why is it called falcon?22:32
* awalton__ is killed by rampaging curiosity22:32
Seveasawalton__, because I liked that name and it didn't conflict with anything in Debian/Ubuntu back in 2005 when I started22:32
awalton__ah.22:33
jonnymindWell, Seveas. Falcon p.l. was started back in 2003.22:33
awalton__figured it had something to do with pythons being snakes and falcons....22:33
jonnymindAnd there was a site.22:33
Seveasjonnymind, search for falcon on google, you won't find yours or mine22:33
Seveasso Debian was my guideline for conflicts22:33
jonnymindfalcon script22:33
Seveasdoesn't cound, one would need to guess it's a language22:34
RainCTgood night22:34
jonnymindWell; up to firsts of december 2007, ubuntu and debian was mine.22:34
Nafallohaha22:34
Seveaslol22:34
jonnymindAnd still, there was no conflict.22:34
Nafallocan't even find it on google linux first 10 :-)22:34
Nafallooh well22:38
Nafallowe already have /usr/bin/falcon, so please don't name it the same or people will need to choice which package they want :-)22:39

Nafallois falconpl even source new anywhere?22:42
Seveasno :)22:42
jonnymindAs someone may suspect, I must FRANKLY and OPENLY admit that didn't get very well the fact that, while I was working on the topic and finding a solution, someone (knowning the state of the things, as it/they was informed of the fact) forced this situation with an unilaterary act.22:42
Nafallothat's what I thought then :-)22:42

Nafallocan't see any comments on that one.22:44
Nafallothe comments where made 1st and 11th of January22:45
jonnymindBut the wrost thing is that I was openly available to do any change, and was here almost every day. And I offered a solution to Seveas in the first place.22:45
jonnymindAnd?22:45
jonnymindthe package was uploaded in december.22:45
jonnymindAfter days of discussions.22:45
jonnymindIn which I was even told "no, don't use falconpl. Falcon is OK"22:46
jonnymindhere by motus.22:46
jonnymindIt was ME that went around asking again and again how to solve it.22:46
* Nafallo adds comment on the bug :-)22:46
pochuNafallo: there were a lot of comments here on IRC, as I couldn't comment on REVU by then22:48
jonnymindafter I have been told that someone remembered about an utility with that name. So, I am sorry, I cannot be blamed as responsible for the situation.22:48
Nafallodid anyone?22:49
jonnymindHaving that package uploaded by a person that knew both the situation and my availability to sort out problems, sorry, doesn't seem very ubuntu policy compliant.22:49
Nafalloanyway. as I see it falcon is already in the repos. it would be hard to change that one now.22:49
jonnymindpersia and pochu reviewed the package in december.22:49
pochuNafallo: no, it isn't.22:50
pochuNafallo: you can remove it from there.22:50
Nafallopochu: source is.22:50
pochuNafallo: can't you remove source from soyuz?22:51
pochu(I'm not saying it should be removed, but it's possible to change it)22:51
Nafallopochu: dunno. but it's source made it to the archive already.22:52
Nafallopochu: it's on the mirrors :-P22:52
pochuNafallo: I think that doesn't matter.22:53
pochuAnd there aren't binaries, so even easier.22:53
Nafallohttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+builds?build_text=falcon&build_state=all22:54
Nafallothere is binaries :-)22:54
jonnymindppl, sorry for having stolen your time. I'd like to return to the technical aspects.22:54

geserNafallo: but only in the binary NEW queue :)22:55
Nafalloyea exactly. so there is binaries :-)22:55
pochuNafallo: well there are binaries for jonnymind's falcon. They are in ~/.pbuilder/hardy/result, but there are :P22:56
Nafallopochu: they are not in any kind of queue built from anything in an archive ;-)22:56
jonnymindNafallo: I just have seen your comment.22:57
jonnymindSorry; I retire falcon from ubuntu.22:57
jonnymindHow can I delete the package?22:57
pochuNafallo: who cares? An archive admin can reject it with one click ;)22:57
Nafallopochu: baah. the can kill xorg as well, with lots more clicks. that's not the point :-)22:57
Nafallojonnymind: huh? it's not in yet.22:58
jonnymindI mean, from revu and launchpad.22:58
pochuNafallo: But don't say things can't change just because someone uploaded a package.22:58
Nafallojonnymind: would be so much easier to do what you've already did. rename the package :-)22:58
pochuAnd out of curiosity: a package needs two ACKs to be uploaded to Universe... who did ACK falcon other than imbrandon?22:59
jonnymindNafallo: I am not changing 6 system installation scripts and 300 doc pages for this.22:59
Nafallopochu: *sigh* you probably know exactly what I mean, so why even argue about it? :-)22:59
jonnymindSomeone will find a way to package falcon when it is included in the other distros.22:59
Seveaspochu, could be persia, I did the final checks with them22:59
jonnymindI started packaging from ubuntu because I beleived in ubuntu philosophy of respect.23:00
jonnymind...23:00
pochuSeveas: I'd be surprised if it was persia since persia was reviewing jonnymind's falcon package.23:00
pochuAnd since there's no REVU upload for it to look at, nor ACK in the needs-packaging bug...23:01
Nafallopochu: I just check my logs. persia :-)23:04
pochuCrap.23:04
* pochu kicks persia :)23:04
Nafallopochu: he found blockers that got fixed before the upload as well23:05
jonnymindI understand. If anyone wants the package it's open soruce, so they'll be able to package it.23:06
jonnymindGoodbye.23:07
* rzr updated http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?package=jaaa23:07
Nafallooh well...23:07
pochuIt would really annoy me if I had a package up for review and then someone else uploaded a package with the same name, so I completely understand him.23:09
* pochu goes out for a godwalk23:09
guest22Any MOTUs here willing to review package photoml (http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?package=photoml)? It's already been advocated once (the previous upload, at least), so it should be very close to being acceptable.23:18
