Alohageser, ok thnx00:00
matthijsAloha, sorry to bother you, but could you initiate a pm?00:00
LaserJockjoejaxx: around?00:00
geserAloha: and I doubt you need samba during the build, the samba library should be enough (more precisely libsmbclient-dev which you already list)00:00
Alohageser, ok i wasn't sure00:00
vemonRAOF, it worked! replaced (.*) with ([0-9.]*) and now the rc releases aren't listed anymore00:01
Alohageser, thnx for the info00:01
RAOFvemon: If you'd like to pick up the rc releases, but ensure that they're not considered higher than the final you might want to check out the various "versionmangle" options.00:02
joejaxxLaserJock: hi00:02
geserAloha: if you are missing a build-depends either the package doesn't build in a pbuilder (error during configure or compilation) or an optional feature is missing00:02
joejaxxLaserJock:  :D00:02
Alohageser, i'm pbuilding on hardy but im using gutsy. will apt-get -s install still help me?00:03
vemonRAOF, well it doesn't feel right to include the rc releases since they are... well.. release candidates :)00:04
geserAloha: no, as it will simulate the installation on your gutsy system00:05
geserAloha: but can you login into your hardy pbuilder (pbuiler login) if you need to check something in a hardy environment00:05
Alohageser, oh sweet, didn't know about pbuilder login feature00:06
matthijsI have to go now. I'll be back tomorrow... bye!00:07

Alohageser, i found the problem... hardy uses libgtk2.0-dev not 1.2 like gutsy. thnx for the info00:20
RAOFOh, have we finally killed libgtk1.2?00:20
AlohaRAOF, apparently00:21
geser!info libgtk1.2-dev hardy00:21
ubotulibgtk1.2-dev (source: gtk+1.2): Development files for the GIMP Toolkit. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.10-18.1build2 (hardy), package size 1151 kB, installed size 3788 kB00:21

Alohahrm00:21
ion_Both hardy and gutsy have both 1.2 and 200:21
Alohait wouldn't let me install from pbuilder login00:21
ion_Although the quicker we get rid of 1.2 the better. :-)00:21
ion_Perhaps you don’t have universe enabled inside the chroot.00:22
Alohaion_, is 2.0 under universe?00:22
RAOFNo, but 1.2 is.00:23

hexmodeI would like to get php-xdebug included in ubuntu.  I have svn commit access for the Debian PHP maintenance team's SVN archive, so I can probably get it into Debian.  Is that the best route to get it into Ubuntu?  Or should I also submit it for REVU?01:00
Alohaif i'm adding upstream package to REVU and its from tarball i do <version>-0ubuntu1 for package version right?01:14
RAOFThe pacakge version should be $UPSTREAM_VERSION-$DEBIAN_REVISIONubuntu$UBUNTU_REVISION.01:16
RAOFSo, in the case where this version of the package isn't in Debian, you are correct.01:16
AlohaRAOF, ok thnx01:18

Alohalearning cdbs is nuts07:51
Alohai think i'm over complicating it07:51
superm1Aloha, yeah it's supposed to be a minimalistic approach to packaging07:52
Alohasuperm1, i don't get what i'm supposed to do after i put in the *.mk lines....07:52
superm1Aloha, well in some cases nothing07:53
Alohasuperm1, oh07:53
superm1for the kinds of apps your were describing earlier, you would only need something there if you had to say adjust permissions07:53
superm1did you get a chance to look over one of the packages i was describing to you earlier?07:53
Alohasuperm1, i forget if i did. what were they called again?07:55
superm1Aloha, i was saying you can look at any of the mythtv-theme-* source packages07:56
superm1they all use cdbs without Makefiles07:56
superm1and just install pieces into locations07:56
Alohasuperm1, ooh yeah... i knew it was mythtv* forgotthe -theme part07:56
Alohasuperm1, thnx07:56
superm1no prob07:56
Alohasuperm1, i hope your gmyth REVU gets advocated07:59
superm1Aloha, well there are a few more pieces that have to come with it too07:59
superm1i've had to talk to upstream about it07:59
superm1because they have a really bad .orig.tar.gz for the others07:59
superm1shipping a debian directory, .svn stuff all over, no licenses on source files08:00
superm1so i'm more worried about those pieces coming through08:00
Alohaheh08:00
superm1and once all that is said and done, all 3 source packages need to have MIR's filed before totem is going to learn to talk mythtv08:00

RAOFsuperm1: Re: gmyth - you're build-depending on libcurl3-openssl-dev, but I haven't seen an openssl exception in the copyright.08:57
vemonplease review:08:57
vemonhttp://revu.tauware.de/details.py?package=whysynth08:57
superm1RAOF, what sort of exception is required for openssl?08:57
vemonhttp://revu.tauware.de/details.py?package=ghostess08:58
superm1i wasn't aware anything was necessary (never had built against it in the past)08:58
vemonthe first is a DSSI synth and the latter a DSSI host for synths08:58
RAOFsuperm1: Basically the licence headers have to also say "GPL, but you can link against OpenSSL"08:58
superm1RAOF, can you think of a package offhand that i can lift some verbatim wordage from on that to drop in place?08:59
RAOFsuperm1: It needs to be upstream.08:59
* superm1 shrugs08:59
RAOFsuperm1: OpenSSL is *not* gpl-compatible; you can't redistribute it.08:59
RAOF(At least, according to gnu.org)08:59
superm1that makes things a little more difficult here i suppose08:59
RAOFsuperm1: There's probably a libcurl3-gnutls-dev, which should provide the same functionality?09:00
RAOFWhile being GPL-compatible.09:00
superm1i'll see what i can do with upstream, i already had a few requests I had to send to fix a few more things09:00
superm1i'll give it a shot09:00
RAOFJust before I go reviewing it too far :)09:00
RAOF(Licensing sucks)09:00
superm1okay well assuming that can work out, let me know anything else you catch09:01
RAOFYup.09:01
superm1RAOF, yeah it appears to work perfectly with gnutls instead09:12
persianxvl: Thanks a lot for helping with support.   Would you mind pushing these discussions to ubuntu-users@ or bugreports though?  ubuntu-motu@ isn't really a support channel.09:22
Alohawhats debian/compat for? kinda find it in debian policy anywhere09:23
Alohas/kinda/can't/09:24
slytherinAloha: it is for specifying with which debhelper version your packaging is compatible. If debhelper in control file is 5.x then compat file should contain 5.09:24
Alohaslytherin, so don't delete it?09:25
Alohatrying to keep a clean debian09:25
slytherinAloha: no, don't delete it.09:25
Alohaslytherin, ok09:26
Alohaslytherin, what should debian/copyright look like if i _am_ the upstream? Can i delete?09:28
man-diAloha: debian/copyright must *always* exist09:29
man-diand habe proper content too09:29
slytherinAloha: Nope. It is a must.09:29
slytherinAloha: Check my gnusim8085 package for example.09:29
Alohaman-di, slytherin, ok thnx09:29
Alohaslytherin, can you have it autogenerate the license or do you have to copy and paste everytime you make a package?09:36
slytherinAloha: What do you mean everytime you create a package. You can take copyright file from previous version of package can't you?09:39
Alohaslytherin, yeah i guess i mean a package for a different project09:39
persiaAloha: debian/copyright is typically hand-generated for each new packaging effort.09:40
Alohapersia, ok thnx09:40
slytherinAloha: It actually depends on license. I think for some standard licenses which are installed by default on Debian systems it is enough to give reference to license. Someone please correct me if I am wrong09:41
persiaslytherin: You are correct, although I think you and I are answering different (and complementary) questions.09:42
persiaWell, mostly.  For GPL/LGPL one is still expected to provide the 4-paragraph license header (although the full text of the license is not required in debian/copyright)09:43
Alohacdbs is really compact.... i like it09:43
Alohathis is my first package using it09:43
slytherinpersia: Yes. But the reason i mentioned this is because I thought Aloha was specifically asking about copy/pasting of license text.09:44
persiaslytherin: Right.  Like I said, we're answering complementary questions :)09:48
Alohahow do i enable universe in pbuilder?09:49
Alohan/m found it09:51
persiaCan anyone think of a good reason to keep pine in multiverse?  We've had alpine since feisty, and it's 1.0 in hardy.10:07
persia(also, pine only apparently builds on sparc)10:07
Alohapeople still use pine?10:09
persiaAloha: Not everyone likes mutt enough.10:09
Alohawhen running pbuilder i get the error: cp: cannot stat `./misc': No such file or directory anyone know what might be wrong?10:10
Alohaits when its trying to copy source file10:10
man-diAloha: does the file/dir exist?10:11
persiaAloha: Pastebing your buildlog.  I suspect it's trying to copy the ./misc file which doesn't exist.10:11
Alohawhy would it try to copy misc. thats not even a file i wrote anywhere10:11
Alohai have Section: misc in control maybe thats it10:12
Alohapersia, http://pastebin.ca/88442410:18
* persia blames something odd with one of pbuilder, the manner in which pbuilder was called, or the environment from which pbuilder was called, and suggests asking someone who uses pbuilder about the issue.10:20
persiaAloha: Actually, it might be something interesting in your .dsc file or your .changes file.  Do either of them mention ./misc?10:21
Alohapersia, in my files in.changes i have de055ded38b92bb4bc0101fb1b8e78fb 625 misc extra shakabuntu-surf_0.1-0ubuntu1.dsc10:23
Alohapersia, you think it could be that misc?10:24
persiaAloha: I suspect so.  I don't use pbuilder, but I suggest passing it the .dsc rather than the .changes file.  I suspect that will work better (and hope someone else will comment if I am mistaken).10:25
Alohapersia, oh yeah i guess i should pass itthe dsc heh thats probably my problem10:26
persiaCould anyone point me to a get-orig-source for a .zip repack?  I remember there being a recent REVU candidate that did this splendidly, but I cannot remember the affected package.10:26
Alohapersia, what do you use to build packages?10:30
persiaAloha: sbuild10:32
Alohapersia, is it "better"?10:32
persiaAloha: Yes, and no.  Would you like a full opinion?10:33
Alohapersia, sure10:33
TheMusolol10:33
* persia suspects Aloha has not previously read a "full opinion" in backscroll :)10:34
TheMusopersia: No, its because I know how detailed your full opinions can be. :)10:34
Alohanope10:34
Alohais there a wiki page for it?10:34
persiaOK.  sbuild and pbuilder are the two most popular means of building Debian-format packages in a clean chroot environment.  There are also a number of other tools that can do this, all of which currently have smaller userbases.10:35
persiaAloha: I only put opinions on the wiki page when I get really tired of typing them.  I don't think I've expressed this one before.10:35
slytherinpersia: Doesn't pine have a license problem? Or I have confused it with something else.10:35
Alohai mean a wiki page for sbuild. i can't find any docs on it10:36
persiasbuild is a derivative of the build system used on the debian autobuilders, customised for ease of use by users, rather than the wanna-build system.  As the Soyuz build system derives from the same source, sbuild tends to have greater bug-compatibility with the Soyuz buildds than pbuilder.10:37
persiaslytherin: Alpine fixed that.  pine is in multiverse because of the licensing: I was thinking about removing it, rather than promoting to universe.10:37
persiaAloha: I'm not sure.  I usually point people at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SbuildLVMHowto10:38
Alohapersia, k thnx10:38
persiaOn the other hand, sbuild has many limitations: it expects a fully deployed environment in which to work, and in currently common use, expects the user to have provided these environments as LVM volumes from which a snapshot may be taken.10:39
TheMusoOne of the big plusses for sbuild/schroot/lvm for me, is the eas oe which one can use chroots for testing, and don't have to manually clean up afterwards.10:40
persiaAs an alternate tool, pbuilder has the inherent advantage of a slightly different build process, which tends to help reduce the number of packages that would build under sbuild but fail under pbuilder.10:40
persiaTheMuso: pbuilder --login10:40
TheMusopersia: But thats as a root user.10:40
TheMusopersia: schroot leaves me as my user.10:40
TheMusoI'd rather that.10:40
TheMusoEasier access to home dir as well.10:40
persiaAdditionally, pbuilder users tarballs for the chroots, which compress well, allowing many different build target environments.  This comes at the expense of some performance, and a requirement for sufficient /tmp space to complete the builds.10:41
persiaTheMuso: I heard there were pbuilder hooks for bind-mounting /home, and su - $user can do it.  Mind you, I've never been a pbuilder user, so I'm advocating something I neither use nor intend to use.10:42
TheMusopersia: I never see myself changing, so yeah.10:43
slytherinpersia: Do you think we should also preseed the debconf question for j2sdk1.4 package? It will fix at least batik and the other programs like fop depending on batik.10:43
persiaSo, if you have the HD space to spare, and want something that mirrors the buildds, sbuild is closer (although the buildds run a different sbuild than is installed by aptitude install sbuild).  On the other hand, if you have a reasonably large /tmp, want to maintain lots of different build targets, or want to participate in the greater QA effort provided by the alternate build, pbuilder is better.10:43
persiaFurther, pbuilder is very slightly easier to set up for those who do not already use LVM or do not have available space in any volume groups.10:44
persiaAloha: I hope that answers your question about which is "better".10:44
Alohapersia, gotcha so the question is really "is it better for _me_?"10:44
persiaslytherin: I don't really understand why we have all of j2sdk1.4, sun-java5-jdk and sun-java6-sdk.  Is there value in preserving three different non-free Java implementations, which could be considered three releases from a single upstream?10:45
Alohai have no clue how to setup LVM so i'll stick with pbuilder ;)10:45
slytherinpersia: I am in favour of dumping sun-java5. But there are some apps for which java5 or java6 are too new and hence won't build with either of them.10:46
persiaAloha: Maybe.  Also, your needs may change.  I know of several users who switched from one to the other at various points, for various reasons.  sbuild can also be used without LVM, but it's harder to set up that way (there's not a single script that does all the heavy lifting for you).10:46
persiaslytherin: If there's anything which cannot build with any of sun-java6-jdk, gcj, jikes, or iced-tea, I consider that source in need of porting work.  We try to get rid of old versions of gcc, why not javac?10:49
Alohapersia, got any docs on setting up LVM?10:49
persiaAloha: repartition a disk to have some free space (I use 20GB for sbuild, but more is better), and run vgcreate.  man vgcreate for details.10:50
slytherinpersia: true. but this needs discussion. But sun-java5 can go for sure since sun-java6 can cover up for that.10:51
persiaAloha: After this, the mk-sbuild-lv script in ubuntu-dev-tools should take care of things.10:51
persiaslytherin: I'd suggest a mail to ubuntu-motu@ raising the discussion, referencing the FTBFS issues caused by the lack of the preseeding, and asking for opinions on preseeding vs. porting.10:52
persiaFor sun-java5-jdk, if nothing really needs it, file a removal bug.  Just be extra sure nothing really needs it.10:53
slytherinpersia: Don't have access to gmail now. Will do it on weekend in worst case.10:54
persiaslytherin: OK.  As long as it gets in before FeatureFreeze, it should be OK.  I don't suspect that sun-java5-* is considered buggy enough to drop thereafter.10:55
Alohawhens FeatureFreeze?10:55
geserAloha: Feb 14th10:55
persia14th February10:55
Alohavalentines day.. heh ironic10:56
Alohais that featurefreeze for hardy?10:56
slytherinpersia: I should just check if there are any hardcoded dependencies on sun-java5-* packages, right?10:56
slytherinAloha: yes, of course10:56
persiaslytherin: And hardcoded build-dependencies.10:56
slytherinpersia: How do I check that in an easy way?10:57
Alohaslytherin, whats featurefreeze mean? no more items added to universe?10:57
geserslytherin: with grep-dctrl on the Sources file10:57
geserAloha: no new features like new upstream versions10:58
dholbachgeser, soren: I just thought it might be better to wait for the MC election to end before I set up the motu-uvf poll to avoid confusion10:58
dholbach(and also to rename the team to motu-ff beforehand)10:59
persiaslytherin: rep-dctrl -FBuild-Depends sun-java5-jdk -sPackage /var/lib/apt/lists/*hardy_universe_source_Sources is probably a good start10:59

kikopersia, hmmm. I have never done it before, but maybe it would be fun. I have a weekend in brasilia..11:51
persiakiko: Give it a shot this weekend then.  Take a look at the CDBS+distutils section of http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy as a hint for rules.  use dch for changelog, borrow from http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html for copyright, and review http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html for the control file.  The rest ought nearly do itself.11:53

dcorderook, so, always that a newstream is created is needed a interdiff isn't it?12:11
persiadcordero: For now.  We've been discussing changing that for a while, but will very likely continue to support interdiff at least until FeatureFreeze, at which time new upstreams will be harder to submit.12:14

persiadcordero: Right.  There's no good solution beyond debdiff -p4.  Go find the original maintainer, and push to the VCS.  If there isn't one, beat them with a stick, and submit the ugly debdiff to the sponsors queue.12:36
* persia fails to see anything particularly Ubuntu-specific in the hubackup long description12:38
RainCTpersia: the author hasn't released any tarball12:39
RainCTpersia: or at least that's whay I could figure out yesterday when I looked at it..12:39
persiaRainCT: Now I'm confused.  Is there an upstream that hasn't done a release (so we have 0.0~0ubuntu7), or is it native (so the Ubuntu package is the release)?12:40
RainCTpersia: the versioning indicates a native package ("0.0.7")12:41
RainCTand indeed it has no .diff.gz12:41
persiaRainCT: My apologies then.  I thought you'd dug into it a bit more then.  Anyway, I look forward to 0.1-0ubuntu1 when it can become available.12:42

RainCTNp :)12:52
persiagpocentek: Any issues with a rebuild of gnome-translate for gconf & libeel?12:54
slytherinis there any rebuild going to happen before feature freeze?12:55
persiaslytherin: Not in an automated fashion.  Packages must be manually updated.12:56
persiaslytherin: Note that rebuilds aren't considered feature additions, so rebuilding to fix bugs post-feature-freeze isn't a problem.12:56
slytherinok12:56
persiaFrom my understanding, FeatureFreeze mostly means: No new upstreams, no significant changes to functionality, and no new packages.  It certainly doesn't mean no more work, and many of the activities we do today continue.12:57
slytherinpersia: By the way, AFAIK, doko was working with Debian guys to get icedtea in Debian. Do you have any idea on what is the status?12:58
persiaslytherin: No idea at all.  Sorry.12:59
slytherinpersia: As of now it looks like if we build lucene2 with icedtea then that change can not go in Debian.13:00
persiaslytherin: That's fine.  I want lucene2 in universe for hardy (which means in the next two weeks), so am willing to put up with some deviation from Debian.  I suspect that we can drop that patch for the next cycle, as Debian ought have either icedtea or openjdk working by then.13:02
slytherin:-)13:02
slytherinpersia: I have debdiff ready13:02
persiaThe big issue is that for Ubuntu, primary support is only for three architectures, whereas Debian cannot count the number of architectures on two hands, and has a lot more porting work to do.13:03
persiaslytherin: Does it differ much from Marek's?13:03

RainCTdcordero: have you tried if it works if you install it?13:27
dcorderoRainCT,  yep i have13:35
RainCTdcordero: okay. I've just noticed, why do you add a .desktop file if it's already installing two? (those in build/)13:38
RainCTdcordero: modify those instead (just edit them directly, as it's a native package it needs no patch system) to add the Icon=hubackup13:40
RainCT(and update them to the newest standards on the way, like removing Encoding=)13:40
RainCTdcordero: also, in the changelog leave an empty line before the first point (like in all other entries there), and add "(LP: #43337)" to the line about the icons (to let Launchpad automatically close the bug)13:41

saivanngouki : What do you mean, you want to create a repository on your personnal computer?16:32
sistpoty|workgouki: you can find out about the number of packages by the packages files under /var/lib/apt/lists (just do a cat source_section-arch_Packages.list | grep Package: | wc -l)16:33
sistpoty|workthat should at least give you an estimation16:33
crimsunLaunchpad also exposes it, e.g., https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy16:33

RainCTsaivann: have you tried installing the .deb?16:41
RainCTsaivann: W: simdock: spelling-error-in-description Gnome GNOME16:45
saivannRainCT : Is that what you get when you try to install it?16:46
RainCTsaivann: no, that's what I get if I let lintian check the .deb :)16:47
tuxmaniachttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54074/ can someone give me a hint as to what the problem could be on those lintian warnings, the line numbers mentioned seem to be OK for me16:47
saivannRainCT : Let me check..16:48
saivannRainCT : I've installed simdock on Gutsy and Hardy before we changed some details in the package and it was working great, but I'm testing it again now16:49
RainCTtuxmaniac: perhaps there's some special character on line 1316:50
saivannRainCT : I don't have that error when I run lintian against the binary deb or the dsc file, what does that error means?16:52
RainCTsaivann: probably because you have an older version (I use lintian and linda from Hardy). Well, it means that "Gnome" should be "GNOME", as that is the official spelling :P16:53
saivannRainCT : In the control file?16:54
crimsunyes, in the control file (and/or its template)16:54
RainCTsaivann: yes, in the description. but this isn't that important... tell me once you finished checking if the .deb works right and I'll advocate :)16:55
saivannRainCT : I've found that linda says that my standard-version in the control file is wrong, I used 3.7.3, should it be 3.7.2?16:57
RainCTsaivann: no, 3.7.3 is right. linda is outdated (there is no version for 3.7.3 yet)16:57
RainCTsaivann: ah btw, if you later change the description, "( like OS X )" should be "(like OS X)"17:01
saivannRainCT : Great, I just tested simdock on Hardy within virtualbox and in Gutsy. In Hardy, I get a error message saying that the background image is missing ( it seems to be a problem with the alpha 3 release, the background image is indeed missing ), unless that error message, simdock appears and works17:01
saivannRainCT : On Gutsy there's no problem at all17:01
saivannRainCT : I can update the description of (like OS X) and GNOME17:02

frafuRainCT: sponsored twice? what do you mean?17:36

frafuRainCT: In what sense is launchpad involved (apart the need-packaging bug)?17:38
RainCTfrafu: for updating 2.21.5 (once it's in the repos) to 2.21.9017:39
frafuRainCT: I will package the new version17:40
paasHi, I was wondering about the procedure now that I've updated my package to REVU. Should one just wait or should one periodically ask for reviewers on this channel. By the way my package is over herehttp://revu.tauware.de/details.py?package=libtuxcap, :-) thanks17:40
RainCTfrafu: cool. do you know how to do it? (well, just let 'uscan' download the new version and copy the debian/ directory you created there)17:40
frafuRainCT: but the patches and the manpages in debian are already in the 2.21.90 and running uscan (when I fixed the watch file) did not remove the patches and the manpages in debian. Do I have to remove them manualy?17:44
RainCTfrafu: yes, uscan won't do any change to debian/. you have to copy it into the directory it created and adjust it for the new version manually17:45
sistpoty|workpaas: basically just wait... however being around and asking from time to time might motivate some reviewers ;)17:47

sistpoty|workLure: for the warning, I guess only looking at dpkg-source will give the information ;)17:57
Luresistpoty|work: I am actually fine going any way, I would just like to know what is expected (not to get some complaint when may package reaches archive)17:57

james_wfrafu: not if it can't be synced from somewhere else, e.g. Debian.20:04
frafuit is in gnome20:04
james_wfrafu: yes, but that is upstream, it needs someone to take care of it and update to new upstream versions.20:06
james_wfrafu: Hopefully you would play a part in that, though others may be interested.20:06
james_wfrafu: you say it corresponds to a tab in the mouse preferences of gnome now?20:06

frafuA dialog that tells to install it20:09
frafujames_w: you said: "yes, but that is upstream, it needs someone to take care of it and update to new upstream versions". Do you mean that it needs someone in ubuntu to take care of it, or were you talking about upstream?20:11
james_wfrafu: yeah, in ubuntu. Most packages can't just be upgraded to a new version in ubuntu when a new upstream is released, they need a manual step.20:12

RainCTblueyed: /me thinks so20:42
frafuTo come back to the discussion about the process of updating a package in universe: What happens after the sponsored person has put the update on launchpad? (I suppose that he has to file a bug containing the updated debianized package!?) Does the sponsored person have to notify a motu?20:42
RainCTblueyed: yes. else 4.3pre1 would be > 4.3 (final)20:42
blueyedRainCT: ok, will go with that scheme then, thanks.20:43

warp10If a package is licensed as "public domain" in Debian, should it be synced in universe or multiverse?22:25
slangasekjpatrick: well, that kind of relinking should only happen when installing with make install prefix= instead of make install DESTDIR=; but as this is outside of your control with cdbs, at best I guess it could be a cdbs bug in Debian22:25

desertcTheMuso: Is that a wishlist bug, then?23:27
TheMusodesertc: Yes, but the easiest way to do it, is to file a sync request bug, and subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors, for a MOTU to approve it.23:28
blueyedgeser: would be great.23:29
geserblueyed: but pbuilder-uml is already in P-a-s listed23:29

TheMusoblueyed: But pbuilder is arch all is it not?23:29
blueyedgeser: P-a-s?23:30

geserTheMuso: pbuilder is arch all, but pbuilder-uml is i386/amd6423:32
geserTheMuso: but pbuilder gets also only build on those arch, so I'd say the bug can be ignored (set to invalid)23:32
blueyedgeser: but closing the bug would be wrong, as it seems that pbuilder does not get build for ppc at all..?!23:33
blueyedgeser: isn't "pbuilder" supposed to be available on ppc?23:33
