| ogra_cmpc | soren, ach ... endless discussions with the fedora people about the --arch option in ltsp | 00:37 |
| ogra_cmpc | they never heard about amd64 :P | 00:37 |
| ogra_cmpc | and somethimes the attitude between the lines "there is no linux apart from fedora" is a bit well ... | 00:39 |
| ogra_cmpc | ... tiring ? | 00:40 |
| slangasek | maddening? exasperating? pity-inspiring? :) | 00:42 |
| ogra_cmpc | :) | 00:43 |

| StevenK | "I was bound to happen sooner or later." <- sounds like the sage words of someone crazy enough to merge dpkg | 00:53 |

| Hobbsee | there are priorities for a reason! | 01:04 |
| soren | Hobbsee: It's ironic, really. I was trying to be a good boy and even added a new test case to dpkg with this upload. Did it help? Nooooo.. | 01:04 |
| Hobbsee | soren: your upload is done and built and didn't break the world now, i tkae it? | 01:04 |
| soren | https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/1.14.16.6ubuntu2 | 01:05 |
| soren | I guess it needs to be published before the buildd's pick it up. | 01:05 |
| soren | After that, it's give-back galore. | 01:05 |
| * Hobbsee looks | 01:06 | |
| infinity | soren: No, it's built already. | 01:06 |
| Hobbsee | yeah, just as i'm going on VAC. great. | 01:06 |
| Chipzz | soren: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/insomnia.png ;) | 01:06 |
| infinity | soren: I'll do mass-give-backs once it's published. | 01:06 |
| Hobbsee | infinity: who really cares about ia64 anyway | 01:06 |
| * cjwatson hopes he didn't just break all the seeds | 01:06 | |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson: it's the day for breakage. why not? | 01:07 |
| * cjwatson HIGHLY recommends not merging the seeds any more | 01:07 | |
| soren | cjwatson: Just fix them before FF, otherwise we'll have to live with broken seeds. :( | 01:07 |
| cjwatson | unless you feel like a really fun resolution pass | 01:07 |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson: so, uh, how does one merge seeds, or do that equivalent, now? | 01:07 |
| * soren decides to stop trying to be funny and *really* goes to bed. | 01:07 | |
| Hobbsee | or am i missing something obvious? | 01:07 |
| Chipzz | cjwatson: btw, are you responsible for consolekit integration? | 01:08 |
| cjwatson | Hobbsee: largely, the idea is that we should stop needing to, because common things are in a single common place | 01:08 |
| Hobbsee | soren: you'll probably break dpkg between now and then anyway, so the seed point will be moot. *g* | 01:08 |
| cjwatson | Chipzz: no | 01:08 |
| cjwatson | Hobbsee: we're not quite at that ideal yet, but a lot closer than we were | 01:08 |
| Hobbsee | cjwatson: oh good! i'd wondered why they weren't previously | 01:08 |
| Chipzz | hrrrm then I must be mistaken; nevermind then. who is though? | 01:08 |
| cjwatson | Chipzz: pitti | 01:08 |
| cjwatson | err, and if you just updated your seed branches, you might have to force it a bit - I just made a mistake and uncommitted | 01:09 |
| Chipzz | cjwatson: is it possible that I recall you having a discussion about sudo and ck integration a couple of weeks ago? | 01:09 |
| cjwatson | Chipzz: yes | 01:10 |
| cjwatson | Chipzz: doesn't mean I'm responsible for it though, I was just playing with it and trying to improve a few things | 01:10 |
| Chipzz | cjwatson: ah, because that actually was a reason for concern for me | 01:10 |
| Chipzz | haven't played with ck yet, so I may be totally mistaken | 01:11 |
| Chipzz | but integrating ck with sudo and/or login rang a couple of very loud alarmbells here | 01:12 |
| cjwatson | do you mean ssh rather than sudo? | 01:12 |
| Chipzz | no, sudo | 01:12 |
| cjwatson | I wasn't integrating it with sudo | 01:12 |
| cjwatson | all I was trying to do was make policykit applications not break hopelessly when invoked via sudo | 01:13 |
| Chipzz | anyway, I'll be better off voicing my concerns with pitti maybe? | 01:13 |
| cjwatson | sure | 01:13 |
| Chipzz | but your input would be nicetoo I guess ;) | 01:13 |
| cjwatson | well, I don't know what your concerns are | 01:14 |
| cjwatson | but it's also 1:15am | 01:14 |
| Chipzz | basically my concern is that adding ck as a dependency may complicate recovering a broken system | 01:14 |
| Chipzz | (ie booting in rescue mode) | 01:14 |
| Hobbsee | death to all evil keyboard bugs111 | 01:14 |
| cjwatson | Chipzz: well, nobody AFAIK was talking about making sudo register a CK session | 01:15 |
| === enJoy is now known as emgent | ||
| cjwatson | Chipzz: and rescue mode uses sulogin, not login, and therefore does not create a PAM session, so that would not involve CK either | 01:16 |
| cjwatson | any sane implementation of CK integration lets the login manager continue if CK isn't available, anyway | 01:16 |
| cjwatson | for instance if you use the PAM module you make it optional | 01:16 |
| Chipzz | that's what I figured | 01:17 |
| cjwatson | I think there's an argument (though it's still debatable) that sudo should forward CK credentials, but having it pretend to be a new console session seems rather a stretch | 01:17 |
| Chipzz | but I shall ask pitti about it tomorrow. imho care should be taken not to complicate such scenarios (though one might argue that when your system is broken, well, it's broken...) | 01:19 |
| cjwatson | I don't really think it would | 01:19 |
| Chipzz | cjwatson: anyway, since this is pitti's stuff anyway, I'll bother you no more and let you get some sleep ;) | 01:21 |
| cjwatson | thanks ;) | 01:21 |
| Chipzz | good night (in case you're hitting the sack ;)) | 01:22 |

| pitti | soren: compat level 1 in pkg-create-dbgsym> yes, unfortunately we have packages which are *that* old and crappy :/ | 07:26 |
| pitti | soren: that sounded like fun; thanks for fixing it, is there anything I still need to do? | 07:28 |
| LaserJock | pitti: k, awesome | 07:29 |
| pitti | Chipzz: so, what exactly are your concerns with sudo and CK? | 07:30 |
| Hobbsee | morning pitti! | 07:31 |
| Chipzz | pitti: more like login and CK | 07:32 |
| Chipzz | hrrrm wait :P sudo too actually | 07:33 |
| Chipzz | my concern is that in case something breaks, that having CK in the mix would make it harder to fix things | 07:34 |
| Chipzz | basically the way it is now, recovering a broken system (or rather: getting to a state where you can attempt to recover it) is not too complex | 07:36 |
| Chipzz | FSVO "not too complex" | 07:36 |
| Chipzz | ie | 07:36 |
| Chipzz | booting with init=/bin/bash | 07:37 |
| Chipzz | lets say the sudo <-> CK integration breaks | 07:37 |
| Chipzz | atm sudo setup is not too complex, and little is required to say, reboot, log in as user, and use sudo to gain root | 07:38 |
| Chipzz | little is required -> from a technical pov | 07:38 |
| Chipzz | my concern (and I don't know if it's a valid concern) is that complicating sudo (and login) config may make it more error-prone, and increase the chances of you being unable to for example gain root access at all when stuff goes haywire | 07:40 |

| pitti | soren: apt-cache show znc (I have used this for some weeks now, it works great) | 08:56 |
| soren | MacSlow: But, but... You'd be logged off irc!!!11!!!one! | 08:57 |

| seb128 | pitti: feel free, there is new upstream versions | 08:57 |
| seb128 | pitti: so if you want to do the update in the same time you are welcome | 08:58 |

| pitti | soren: sure, whenever I don't need it for at least an hour | 08:59 |
| pitti | MacSlow: just a nitpick for the future: can you please use patch tags (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PatchTaggingGuidelines) for future patches, to record upstream bugs and descriptions, etc.? | 09:01 |
| pitti | MacSlow: and please put the source.changes there, too (rebuilding locally now, so don't worry for now) | 09:03 |
| MacSlow | pitti, oh... sorry didn't knew about the comments | 09:04 |
| MacSlow | pitti, I only knew about stating the LP-bug entry in the changelog | 09:04 |
| seb128 | hate cupsys and apparmor | 09:05 |
| pitti | MacSlow: no need to be sorry, it's a relatively new thing | 09:05 |
| pitti | MacSlow: that's why I'm pointing it out, we want to try to establish it a bit | 09:05 |
| pitti | seb128: --verbose? | 09:05 |
| seb128 | pitti: still the broken update for a week, I didn't take time to investigate but it's getting annoying | 09:05 |
| seb128 | Loading AppArmor module: Failed. | 09:05 |
| seb128 | invoke-rc.d: initscript apparmor, action "force-reload" failed. | 09:05 |
| seb128 | so cupsys can't be configured | 09:06 |
| MacSlow | pitti, so the suggested comments in the patch itself is newer than the (LP: #12346)-thing? | 09:06 |
| pitti | ugh, I thought apparmor was working again on current kernels? | 09:06 |
| pitti | MacSlow: yes, much newer | 09:06 |
| pitti | MacSlow: in the desktop team we want to add some metadata to patches to record description, whether it's ubuntu specific, and various bug tracker links | 09:07 |
| pitti | MacSlow: g-c-c> any particular reason why you hcanged the function names? | 09:08 |
| pitti | MacSlow: wouldn't it be enough to just change the called programs? | 09:09 |
| MacSlow | pitti, I like consistency and predictability | 09:11 |
| pitti | ok | 09:11 |

| geser | Hi pitti | 09:46 |
| seb128 | StevenK: could you look at the gimp update sponsor request? getting the new version before the freeze would be nice | 09:53 |
| StevenK | pitti: I've found where it disconnects. It doesn't free them, it calls dbus_bus_release_name() -- as long as that copes, I think it should be fine. | 09:53 |

| Hobbsee | what's he attempting to teach? | 10:22 |
| simira | a norwegian standardization system for archive management for official purposes | 10:22 |
| simira | pretty much like ISO 15489, just made and adjusted to Norwegian standards | 10:24 |

| mpt | ! | 10:29 |
| TheMuso | pitti: Right. | 10:29 |
| pitti | I currently hijack the progress bar to show the fsck progress | 10:29 |
| pitti | which means that it'll jump around a little | 10:29 |
| pitti | (i. e. used for init script progress, then fsck progress, then again init script progress | 10:29 |
| pitti | I'd like to use a different colour for fsck, but usplash currently doesn't allow that | 10:30 |
| TheMuso | Better than nothing. | 10:30 |
| pitti | it's probably good enough for a first upload | 10:30 |
| mpt | hrm | 10:30 |
| pitti | mpt: WDYT? should I use the progress bar or output some text | 10:30 |
| cjwatson | pitti: ooh, congratulations | 10:30 |
| pitti | (like percentage) | 10:30 |
| cjwatson | pitti: which fsck backends does it support? | 10:30 |
| pitti | cjwatson: only ext3 actually provides progress reading | 10:30 |
| mpt | pitti, how soon in the progress bar do/can you find out that you need to do fsck? | 10:30 |
| pitti | I'll check it in a bit how it looks with reiser and xfs | 10:31 |
| pitti | rcS.d/S30checkfs.sh | 10:31 |
| pitti | should be fairly early | 10:31 |
| pitti | I didn't run a complete boot yet | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | but only when fsck actually starts | 10:31 |
| mpt | pitti, I mean, do you know that you'll have to do a fsck before the progress bar begins? | 10:31 |
| pitti | I just start usplash and checkfs. manually | 10:31 |
| pitti | right, what cjwatson said | 10:32 |
| pitti | mpt: let me test this with a real boot and come back to describe how it looks like in the entire boot sequence | 10:32 |
| mpt | ok | 10:32 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: thanks for looking into it. :-) | 10:35 |
| gaspa | pitti: next step is a kernel ooops... i want to see it in a usplash screen... :D :D | 10:39 |
| pitti | heh | 10:39 |
| Mithrandir | Hobbsee: I'm sure you could get one if you paid enough.. | 10:39 |
| pitti | mpt: so, it actually looks a bit ugly | 10:40 |
| mpt | pitti, my usual suggestion is to retain one progress bar for overall progress of the task (in this case, starting up), and using text for subtasks | 10:40 |
| pitti | init script progress starts from 0 to 30%, then checkfs kicks in and does 0 to 100, then init script continues from 30 to 100 | 10:40 |
| mpt | So it's ok if the progress bar gets stuck for a few minutes, as long as there's a line of text changing regularly underneath | 10:40 |
| pitti | mpt: ok, I I should rather output the percentage? | 10:40 |
| mpt | where "regularly" > 1/second | 10:40 |
| mpt | pitti, is there anything more fine-grained you can report than the percentage? | 10:41 |
| Hobbsee | simira: fun | 10:41 |
| mpt | For a large disk, a single percentage could take many seconds | 10:41 |
| pitti | mpt: fsck has 5 stages, and reports a percentage for each of the stages | 10:41 |
| pitti | but they are fairly meaningless | 10:41 |
| mpt | Is there a MB measurement, for example? | 10:41 |
| mpt | or disk blocks, or something? | 10:42 |
| pitti | no | 10:42 |
| pitti | well, blocks maybe | 10:42 |
| pitti | it outputs some numbers 'cur' and 'max' | 10:42 |
| Hobbsee | Mithrandir: heh | 10:42 |
| mpt | pitti, do they represent a fraction? | 10:42 |
| mpt | i.e. progress = cur/max? | 10:42 |
| pitti | I can output the numbers (stage X/5, cur, max) directly instead of percentages | 10:42 |
| pitti | mpt: yes | 10:42 |
| pitti | mpt: that's the percentage withing a stage | 10:42 |
| mpt | and max > 100? | 10:42 |
| pitti | for a small disk, max < 100 | 10:43 |
| mpt | hrm | 10:43 |
| pitti | for a large one I suppose it's much bigger | 10:43 |
| pitti | I have a 6 GB test partition, where it's 94 | 10:43 |
| mpt | How long does it take overall? | 10:43 |
| mpt | actually, sorry, wrong question | 10:43 |
| mpt | How long does the slowest stage take? | 10:44 |
| mpt | for that 6 GB | 10:44 |
| pitti | oh, stage 1: 46 (70% of time), stage 2: 473 (20% of time), stages 3 to 5 are very quick | 10:44 |
| mpt | 473 seconds? | 10:44 |
| pitti | no, that's the 'max' number reported | 10:44 |
| mpt | oh | 10:44 |
| pitti | an absolute number of files or blocks to check, or so | 10:44 |
| mpt | a different number for each stage | 10:44 |
| pitti | I have a conversion function which accumulates stage, cur, and max to a single percentage | 10:45 |
| pitti | (adapted from fsck.ext3) | 10:45 |
| mpt | The reason I'm asking this, is that it's good for the text to update at least every couple of seconds | 10:45 |
| mpt | so that it never looks frozen | 10:45 |
| mpt | As a (very) last resort we could include the time elapsed, I'm just trying to work out whether that's necessary | 10:45 |
| pitti | mpt: what about including all? | 10:46 |
| Mithrandir | mpt: you don't have any meaningful output that changes every couple of seconds by default, at least. | 10:46 |
| pitti | Checking disc..... 23% (stage 1, 234/437) | 10:46 |
| Mithrandir | well, maybe on a 6G disk, but not on a 1TB disk or thereabouts. | 10:46 |
| mpt | Mithrandir, "by default" as in the existing text display? | 10:46 |
| Mithrandir | mpt: yes. You have a text throbber and a progress bar. | 10:46 |
| mpt | yes, I'm familiar with it | 10:47 |
| mpt | but not familiar with how bad it gets on huge disks | 10:47 |
| mpt | s/bad/sullen/ | 10:47 |
| pitti | (I currently mimic that text mode progress bar behaviour in usplash) | 10:47 |
| Mithrandir | it just throbs slower. | 10:47 |
| pitti | I think the numbers (cur/max) will get higher, so I could output those | 10:47 |
| pitti | fsck seems to update progress several times a second | 10:48 |
| mpt | What makes it spin the throbber? | 10:48 |
| pitti | mpt: the text mode has a certain threshold for the percentage | 10:48 |
| mpt | I mean, what has it finished when it rotates one segment | 10:48 |
| pitti | e. g. if one "=" represents 2.3%, it updates the progress bar every 2.3% | 10:48 |
| pitti | oh, it has that rotating thingy, too | 10:49 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: "throbber". :-) | 10:49 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: I think I just learned a new word :) | 10:50 |
| mpt | So, if we can assume that (a) fsck will usually take more than a couple of minutes, and (b) for most disks max > 100, then I think it's better to show cur & max | 10:50 |
| pitti | mpt: maybe the percentage in addition, to give a feeling for an ETA? | 10:50 |
| mpt | throbber, I think comes from Netscape 1.1, where it actually throbbed | 10:50 |
| pitti | since stage 1 takes 70% and stages 2 to 5 together 30%, it would look less intimidating | 10:50 |
| mpt | pitti, you're right | 10:51 |
| pitti | mpt: WDYT about "23% (stage 1/5, block 234/437)" | 10:51 |
| mpt | Your suggestion above is perfect | 10:51 |
| mpt | except three dots, not five :-) | 10:51 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: where do you get the cur and max numbers from? | 10:51 |
| pitti | sure :) | 10:51 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: fsck -C | 10:52 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: rather, -C3 | 10:52 |
| pitti | (output progress to fd 3) | 10:52 |
| pitti | -C == -C0 is magic, it uses the text mode progress bar | 10:52 |
| pitti | but for an fd you get three numbers (stage cur max) per line | 10:52 |
| pitti | one line for each cur | 10:52 |
| Mithrandir | ah | 10:53 |
| mpt | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throbber | 10:53 |
| Mithrandir | max for a 2.6T volume is ~21k, so a percentage would be good | 10:53 |
| persia | lool: Thanks for the clarification on MIC. Sounds like a bit of a mess. I'd like to wait to hear back from smagaoun about it, but will push pre-FF if nobody else hits it. | 11:02 |
| Hobbsee | persia: see my comment in -motu | 11:03 |
| persia | Longer term, I'd think setting maintainer to UME, and granting UME access to the VCS might be a sensible solution, to avoid tracking multiple debian/ directories. Alternately, one of the two repos can be the master, and the other can merge/sync as Ubuntu does with Debian. | 11:04 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: OK, I see the problem - the code that generates the "master task" for cdimage doesn't cope with following more than one level of seed dependencies | 11:04 |
| persia | Hobbsee: I refuse to accept anything as "crack" that can be fixed. Mortar is cheap :p | 11:04 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: the upshot being that required, minimal, standard, and desktop-common go missing | 11:04 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: That is almost everything one would need to use Ubuntu. ;-) | 11:07 |
| slytherin | desktop I mean. | 11:07 |
| lool | persia: Thanks | 11:07 |
| persia | lool: On an extended note, aside from other things, doesn't it make sense for someone in UME to be sponsoring UME stuff, rather that UUS? My comfort level for uploads when wearing a UUS hat goes down significantly when the resulting maintainer is not MOTU. | 11:09 |
| lool | persia: There are little uploaders for UME at the moment; most people aren't MOTU and we only have a couple of core dev while the packages are being promoted to main | 11:11 |
| persia | lool: Makes sense. I remember when myth was that way. UUS works until it gets resolved (although it may soon require UMS) | 11:12 |
| lool | persia: While folks started the MOTU process and will probably be core dev in the next weeks or months when they will have demoed some experience, I fear it would be too hard to sponsor everything internally ATM | 11:12 |
| Hobbsee | persia: sure, but sanity is not. | 11:15 |

| sucotronic | hello everybody | 11:54 |
| sucotronic | one question | 11:54 |
| sucotronic | How often the maintainers checks the original projects for new releases? | 11:54 |
| cjwatson | sucotronic: "from time to time" | 11:55 |
| sucotronic | mmm | 11:55 |
| cjwatson | some maintainers are subscribed to announcement lists and see them immediately; some just check every so often; some only update when prodded | 11:55 |
| sucotronic | there isn't any mechanism to notify maintainers? | 11:56 |
| sucotronic | or is more easy to become a maintainer? | 11:58 |
| cjwatson | sucotronic: subscribing to upstream announcement lists is the preferred mechanism for diligent maintainers, though they can also create a debian/watch file and use uscan --report --verbose regularly | 11:59 |
| sucotronic | then, I've to contact with the maintainer to ask him? | 12:00 |
| cjwatson | sucotronic: filing a bug would be the usual method | 12:08 |
| sucotronic | cjwatson: sorry, I'm new. How I can do it? | 12:10 |
| cjwatson | sucotronic: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug; also read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu | 12:12 |
| cjwatson | sucotronic: please ask further support questions in #ubuntu | 12:12 |
| sucotronic | cjwatson: thank you a lot | 12:14 |
| Mez | hmm, does anyone know anyone here who works for yahoo ? | 12:14 |
| sucotronic | cjwatson: I think you are wrong. I don't want to report a bug. I'm a maintanier of a project, and I only want to know how to notificate the ubuntu maintainer the new releases | 12:17 |
| persia | sucotronic: A bug of the form "Please upgrade to new upstream release X.Y" is the preferred format if you want to push changes, rather than waiting for a pull. | 12:18 |

| DarkSun88 | Hi all | 12:28 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: Ubuntu daily CD builds fixed now | 12:33 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: Thanks. Does that mean that new images will be generated again? | 12:33 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: I just generated Ubuntu ones | 12:36 |
| cjwatson | and am building Kubuntu now | 12:36 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: kudos to you. :-) | 12:37 |
| slytherin | Any of the buildd admins present here? I have a debconf preseed request. | 12:37 |
| cjwatson | I thought that particular preseed had been done | 12:37 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: which one? I am referring to batik build, it uses older j2sdk because Sun JDK is too new for it. | 12:38 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: the RT ticket was marked resolved on 12 Dec; I'll see if I can dig up exactly what was preseeded | 12:40 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: AFAIK, only Sun java packages have been preseeded. | 12:41 |
| geser | cjwatson: sun-java-* works on the buildds after the preseeding was done (at least in hardy) | 12:41 |
| slytherin | and what we need is preseeding for j2sdk/j2re package (Blackdown JDK/JRE). This is needed for some packages. | 12:43 |
| cjwatson | shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 is preseeded, but nothing else seems to be | 12:47 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: mail rt@admin.canonical.com with your request | 12:47 |
| pitti | cjwatson: do you know if there will be any problems if I add a "Breaks: usplash (<< 0.5.12)" to initscripts? (which is a required package) | 12:48 |
| pitti | cjwatson: I need the new usplash features for the fsck integration | 12:48 |
| cjwatson | pitti: don't think so | 12:48 |
| pitti | ok, thanks | 12:49 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: Difficult task if you ask me. Access to my primary mail account (gmail) is blocked for me. I will see what I can do. :-) | 12:49 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: (or ask somebody else to do so) and say exactly which debconf question you need preseeded | 12:50 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: How do I identify debconf question? | 12:50 |
| cjwatson | slytherin: you'll need to read the maintainer scripts and figure out what they're doing | 12:54 |
| slytherin | ok | 12:54 |
| slytherin | cjwatson: Looks like there are two different debconf questions, one for sdk and one for runtime. 'j2re1.4/license: true' and 'j2sdk1.4/license: true' | 13:03 |

| dramen | how can i install a manpage when i build a (debian)package by using dpkg-buildpackage | 14:59 |
| ion_ | See dh_installman(1) | 15:00 |
| persia | dramen: You likely want to ask that question in #ubuntu-motu, and read the dh_installman manual page | 15:00 |
| dramen | in debian/rules there is a call dh_installman | 15:03 |
| dramen | normally, it should install the manual page automatically on the right location | 15:04 |
| === hunger_t_ is now known as hunger | ||
| cjwatson | as dh_installman's own manual page says, you have to tell it which manual pages to install, either with debian/manpages (or debian/PACKAGENAME.manpages) or with command-line arguments | 15:06 |
| dramen | ok, i just put the deprecated dh_installmanpages into my debian/rules-file and now it works | 15:16 |
| dramen | although, the output is as followed: "dh_installmanpages: This program is deprecated, switch to dh_installman." | 15:17 |
| pitti | cjwatson: ooh! ubuntu-meta with reorganized seeds? | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | dramen: dh_installmanpages has a different interface, which includes automatically searching for manual pages. In practice this turned out to be more trouble than it was worth. | 15:25 |

| lool | Hmm today's Tech Board meeting doesn't appear on the fridge which is the official place to list tech board meetings (says the wiki); who should I ping to get this fixed? Tech board folks to ask fridge people or fridge people directly? | 15:43 |
| xivulon | hi heno | 15:44 |
| persia | lool: Mail to fridge-devel@ | 15:44 |
| heno | hey xivulon! | 15:45 |
| persia | More generally, TB should send such a mail when a meeting date is decided. | 15:45 |
| heno | xivulon: that last version looks nice :) | 15:45 |
| Keybuk | lool: fridge *still* can't do recurring meetings | 15:46 |
| Keybuk | so they have to add them one by one by hand | 15:46 |

| saispo | seb128: nothing, just say "hello" :) | 15:47 |
| seb128 | hey saispo ;-) | 15:47 |
| xivulon | heno: glad to hear that | 15:48 |
| xivulon | heno re skinning, I should be made the labels and buttons solid color and/or transparent | 15:49 |
| xivulon | at the moment the image is 314x164 | 15:49 |
| xivulon | assumes white background | 15:49 |
| xivulon | 164x314 | 15:49 |
| heno | xivulon: can the buttons be made transparent? | 15:49 |
| xivulon | heno: never tried that | 15:50 |
| ogra | seb128, hmm, i'm pretty packed atm if you have a spare cycle for that it would be great | 15:50 |
| xivulon | should be possible though | 15:50 |
| seb128 | ogra: ok, will look at it, thanks | 15:50 |
| heno | xivulon: ok, grey will be fine as well | 15:50 |
| ogra | thanks a lot | 15:51 |
| heno | having a pixmap on the entire background would be great | 15:51 |
| xivulon | that should be possible too, but haven't played with that either, requires overriding default nsis behaviour (164x314) expected | 15:52 |
| xivulon | that said when the image goes below text readibility is affected | 15:52 |
| xivulon | I think that a 3Dish logo with shadow on white background might be good enough | 15:53 |
| heno | I agree | 15:53 |
| xivulon | if they can keep it within the above size much easier for me | 15:54 |
| heno | It's just useful to know what the technical constraints are when talking to the art team | 15:54 |
| xivulon | that can be branded (at compile time though) | 15:54 |
| heno | let's start with that then | 15:54 |
| xivulon | I mean I can always override the nsis behaviour here and there, but I have the schedule quite busy before friday already | 15:55 |
| xivulon | translation I think is a more urgent issue | 15:55 |
| xivulon | I can reuse wubi scripts (po <-> nsh) or win32loader approach (c dll + gettext) | 15:56 |
| xivulon | the transparency by the way depends on mfc api, if it is supported by standard flags or via sendmessage then it can be done | 15:59 |
| heno | xivulon: NSIS gets the locale from Windows? | 15:59 |
| xivulon | if not it requires a separate dll which is not worth it IMO | 15:59 |
| xivulon | yes | 15:59 |
| xivulon | uses the default windows language | 16:00 |
| heno | cool | 16:00 |
| xivulon | but at the moment I only have english in there anyway | 16:00 |
| heno | I think the text is ok for translation now (though I'd like to see even less of it :) ) | 16:01 |
| xivulon | if there are mfc gui experts here, tips are welcome :P | 16:01 |
| xivulon | easiest way for me is if you change the text in the wiki | 16:01 |
| xivulon | I'll grab it from there | 16:01 |
| heno | OK, I'll try condensing it some more if possible | 16:02 |
| xivulon | I'll upload the code tonight, building it should be quite straightforward, you need wine+nsis2.34 | 16:03 |
| xivulon | heno: quick googling shows that transparent buttons are not obvious, transparent labels should be ok | 16:09 |
| heno | that would be great | 16:10 |
| xivulon | eh did not look at what is required to enlarge the image though | 16:10 |
| xivulon | heno: http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/9167/umenu1wy6.jpg | 16:21 |
| xivulon | this is to show transparency capabilities | 16:21 |
| xivulon | I think it looks better on the side though | 16:22 |
| heno | xivulon: right, but we wouldn't use that image in that case. most likely the image would have the logo on the left and a faint texture on the right | 16:25 |
| heno | xivulon: what's the image dimension on that one? | 16:25 |
| xivulon | I appreciate that, note that the same image would probably also go in the reboot page | 16:25 |
| heno | right | 16:26 |
| xivulon | heno that is a bit tricky, since the size changes slightly with font sizes (the image can be stretched or we can end off into a background color) | 16:34 |
| \sh | soren, ping dpkg-dev...as I don't like to fight with dpkg, would you like to bring the "Description" tag back to _source.changes files, as described here: http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=blobdiff;f=scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl;h=0fcd529b847c5f51f7f4c5e3ea8c51e186d3730d;hp=7dada21a531c568298764c76dbe9a44b56471101;hb=15fa75bd7143d6ec54f0a77c482ff0cfb72bf440;hpb=1f6feb233d4e7088cb920f386292f8d31d694d3a ? | 16:36 |

| xivulon | heno the nsis recommended size for a vertical image is 164x314, for a full image 496x314 | 16:48 |
| xivulon | heno: checkboxes are like buttons, so cannot be transparent | 16:56 |
| xivulon | that basically rules out a full size image | 16:57 |
| heno | xivulon: ok (you mean for the radio buttons on the reboot page?) | 16:58 |
| xivulon | yes | 16:58 |
| xivulon | they will have a solid background | 16:58 |
| heno | btw, is there any limitation on colour depth? | 16:59 |
| xivulon | It has to be a bitmap not sure what depth is supported, but I that depends on windows defaults | 16:59 |
| xivulon | heno: http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/1228/umenu2zo3.jpg | 17:02 |
| xivulon | IMO Simplest option is to have a vertical image (164x314) with 3Dish logo + shadow, all with a white background. | 17:02 |
| heno | xivulon: agree. I'll look at making one (and ask for some art help if I fail) | 17:04 |

| neighborlee | so is hardy close'ish to average user ready , from what I read about current status it would seem so :) | 17:42 |
| jpatrick | neighborlee: feature freeze soon | 17:43 |
| neighborlee | ohhhhh btw | 17:43 |
| neighborlee | what was the decision on mono | 17:43 |
| neighborlee | jpatrick, sounds nice :) | 17:43 |
| persia | neighborlee: The (nearly) final set of upstreams should be determined this week, but there are still lots of bugs that need closing. Testing appreciated, but know that you're testing. | 17:43 |
| neighborlee | persia, yes | 17:43 |
| neighborlee | persia, current issues seemed doable ;) | 17:44 |
| neighborlee | persia, what is the status of mono in hardy or is it already gone ;) | 17:45 |
| neighborlee | I saw wiki and was wondering | 17:45 |
| persia | neighborlee: You'll get a better answer from the daily CDs or the metapackages than from me (I don't know, except that there are at least mono packages in universe) | 17:46 |
| neighborlee | yes that wont change from what I read | 17:46 |
| neighborlee | just wont be installed out of box or on install CD | 17:46 |
| neighborlee | persia, daily cd ?? | 17:46 |
| LaserJock | I can't imagine mono being gone, we have f-spot and tomboy using it | 17:47 |
| neighborlee | persia, surely someone knows | 17:47 |
| neighborlee | :)) | 17:47 |
| neighborlee | LaserJock, you dont know about the wiki do you ;) | 17:47 |
| persia | neighborlee: Check the hardy ubuntu-desktop package | 17:47 |
| LaserJock | neighborlee: I know there is a lot of stuff on the wiki, much of it has no baring on what's actually done | 17:47 |
| neighborlee | persia, ok fine I was hoping someone would just know what status was ;)) | 17:47 |
| neighborlee | LaserJock, ok, odd. | 17:47 |
| LaserJock | *bearing, methinks | 17:47 |
| LaserJock | neighborlee: why is that odd? The wiki is open to editing by anyone | 17:48 |
| neighborlee | well the idea is the remove mono entirely, but leave on repo at least | 17:48 |
| neighborlee | LaserJock, I assumed it was a serious issue r aised by a developer, but maybe not. | 17:48 |
| mjg59 | No | 17:48 |
| neighborlee | LaserJock, it looked very serious to me. | 17:48 |
| mjg59 | Mono's not being removed | 17:48 |
| neighborlee | mjg59, ok ..as I say the wiki looked done very professsionally so I had zero reason to think anything less | 17:48 |
| LaserJock | neighborlee: well, I'm sure the person who wrote it was serious, but if it's the wiki page I'm thinking of it was not by a developer | 17:49 |
| mjg59 | Someone's written a spec about it. The spec hasn't been approved. | 17:49 |
| neighborlee | ic alright | 17:49 |
| mjg59 | You can see that by following the link from the spec to the status page on Launchpad | 17:49 |
| neighborlee | ic | 17:49 |
| neighborlee | well it did makes alot of sense though if you think about it | 17:50 |
| neighborlee | MUCH less MB footprint , memory too ?..and there are valid replacements to all apps according to the wiki author anyway | 17:50 |
| neighborlee | anyway I was curious, as on the outset it sounded very logical. | 17:50 |
| neighborlee | and now with winforms being deprecated for avalon it does beg the question possibly ;) | 17:51 |
| mjg59 | There's no decent replacement for Tomboy | 17:51 |
| neighborlee | yes actually there is, at least according to the wiki author | 17:52 |
| neighborlee | offhand I dont recall. | 17:52 |
| mjg59 | He's wrong | 17:52 |
| neighborlee | but I think there was some feature the repalcement didn't have. | 17:52 |
| neighborlee | but I now he mentioned something | 17:52 |
| neighborlee | ..know | 17:52 |
| neighborlee | checking | 17:52 |
| neighborlee | and what about tracker..it replaced beagle :)..makes you wonder at least it does me. | 17:53 |
| neighborlee | hm lets see | 17:53 |
| neighborlee | found it | 17:54 |

| neighborlee | persia, hmm | 17:55 |
| neighborlee | license headers oh thats inntersting ;) | 17:55 |
| LaserJock | neighborlee: yes, because almost are all arguments are a technical "smoke and mirrors" around "we don't want it" | 17:55 |
| neighborlee | hm | 17:56 |
| mjg59 | persia: Unless there's any reason to think otherwise, the presence of a global copyright file is generally sufficient | 17:57 |
| * mjg59 heads out | 17:57 | |
| xivulon | heno: once you get the artwork for umenu could you please also produce a set of images of size 150x57 to be used in wubi header? | 18:12 |
| xivulon | ideally there should be one for each flavor covered by wubi | 18:12 |
| xivulon | mjg59, there used to be some code in powermanagement-interface/pmi.acpi to disable suspend (ram/disk) for loopinstallations | 18:16 |

| slangasek | Riddell: oh, that's also a good reason for not syncing then | 19:02 |
| geser | slangasek: so we need to add an epoch to onscripter? | 19:03 |

| slangasek | geser: or else drop the leading zeroes, and worry about epoching later? | 19:03 |
| ScottK | Debian would need to add the epoch, right? | 19:04 |
| slangasek | epoch, or drop the leading zeroes | 19:04 |
| geser | ScottK: if we don't want to carry it forever, yes | 19:04 |
| geser | slangasek: wouldn't dropping the zeroes also require to rename the orig.tar.gz? | 19:05 |
| * ScottK was thinking if we wanted to be able to sync it. Once you add an epoch for Ubuntu, you aren't syncing any more. | 19:05 | |
| slangasek | geser: well, yes - why would that hurt anything? | 19:05 |
| geser | slangasek: not really | 19:06 |

| geser | what's the correct version in this case? -1build1 as there is no real change or is it -1ubuntu1 due to the changed versioning? | 19:15 |
| xivulon | slangasek, is it possible to agree on metalink urls, even without dealing with generating the metalinks? I need to hardcode those in wubi. | 19:15 |
| xivulon | otherwise I will need to make amendments post feature freeze | 19:16 |
| persia | geser: Maybe -0ubuntu1 because of the changed versioning? | 19:16 |
| geser | that's also an option | 19:17 |
| xivulon | only need to know where the metalinks will be, and convention for filename therein (relevant before final release), we can use static metalinks for the time being pointing at daily-builds | 19:22 |
| xivulon | slangsek: something like: ubuntu.com/metalinks/ubuntu-8.04-desktop.metalink -> ubuntu-8.04-desktop.iso (filename) | 19:25 |
| slangasek | xivulon: let me see about working through that over the next few hours. Any new URLs under ubuntu.com need to be discussed with the webmaster first | 19:30 |
| xivulon | slangasek, keep in mind that 1: the metalink url should not change over time within a release cycle, 2: the filename within it may or may not change | 19:34 |
| xivulon | to make clear the second point, assume the metalink is called ubuntu-8.04-desktop.metalink, that will now point to urls that will retrieve the file hardy-desktop.iso | 19:35 |
| xivulon | on top it contains a filename property (which most downloaders use to rename the downloaded file). That can be hardy-desktop.iso or ubuntu-8.04-desktop.iso | 19:36 |
| ScottK | Riddell: Could I please have a give back on testresources. I believe it'll build this time. | 19:36 |

| bddebian | pitti: Ah, someone must have done it, thanks | 20:12 |
| LaserJock | I'm totally switching the packaging for squeak (multiverse smalltalk stuff) so that we're syncing to the official unofficial packages | 20:13 |
| pitti | 'official unofficial'? :) | 20:13 |
| LaserJock | the source package names are completely different | 20:13 |
| pitti | I see | 20:13 |
| pitti | so that requires some removals/NEWs | 20:13 |
| LaserJock | pitti: Debian won't take it officially, but squeak maintains official packages | 20:13 |
| LaserJock | but there is some binary package overlap | 20:13 |
| pitti | LaserJock: that's not a problem; just make sure that the versions are higher | 20:14 |
| LaserJock | yes, the versions will all be higher | 20:14 |
| pitti | and that the packages with the same names have the same purpose :) | 20:14 |
| pitti | and keep transitional empty packages until after hardy for upgrades | 20:14 |
| LaserJock | ok, so I shouldn't ask for removals? | 20:14 |
| pitti | the old source packages should be removed | 20:15 |
| pitti | and old libraries, etc. | 20:15 |
| LaserJock | k, and have the new packages do the transitionals | 20:15 |
| pitti | old application packages should become transitional packages | 20:15 |
| LaserJock | ok, how hard would it be to get somebody to remove squeak-image, squeak-sources, and squeak-vm for me? :-) | 20:16 |
| pitti | LaserJock: let's first get the new packages in, then remove the old onese | 20:16 |
| pitti | LaserJock: it's not hard, just file a bug against them asking for removal and sub ~ubuntu-archive | 20:16 |

| xivulon | slangasek: thanks, yes for the time being it's mostly a matter of URL only I can point to my website for the time being and repoint later. | 20:42 |
| xivulon | Note that if the "filename" attribute within the metalink is not constant throughout a release cycle, I will also need to recode a bit. | 20:42 |
| slangasek | xivulon: right. I'm not sure what the best solution is for that side of things; everywhere else, we make a point to distinguish between pre-release codenames, and release versions | 20:43 |
| xivulon | slangsek, if you keep the metalink url fixed, either way is wrong | 20:44 |
| xivulon | slangasek: ^ | 20:44 |
| slangasek | precisely | 20:45 |
| xivulon | i.e. you either have a ubuntu-8.04-desktop.metalink pointing at hardy-8.04-destop.iso or you have ubuntu-8.04-desktop.metalink which downloads hardy-desktop-iso and calls it ubuntu-8.04-desktop.iso | 20:45 |
| slangasek | xivulon: yes, it's also wrong because we don't want to have /metalink/ files labelled "hardy" after release, or labelled "8.04" before release | 20:47 |
| xivulon | an alternive is to use server side redirection | 20:48 |
| xivulon | so I can point to ubuntu-8.04-desktop.metalink.latest | 20:48 |
| xivulon | which will redirect me to either ubuntu-8.04-desktop.metalink or ubuntu-8.04-alpha3-desktop.metalink | 20:49 |
| xivulon | the metalink file itself by the way should be lighter than an average webpage if you are concerned about bandwidth | 20:50 |
| slangasek | xivulon: what about if the installer were to look for a file under the release number, and fall back to the codename if it's not available? | 20:50 |
| xivulon | I can do that but will hardcode some ubuntu specific practices | 20:51 |
| slangasek | that would also give us the option of hosting them in two different places (i.e., releases.u.c, cdimage.u.c, which is how the images are split as well) | 20:51 |
| xivulon | I was thinking somthing like: | 20:51 |
| xivulon | ubuntu.com/metalinks/8.04 with subdirs: final, beta, alph3, current | 20:52 |
| xivulon | current contains "fixed" urls which are redirected | 20:53 |
| slangasek | the subdirs seem unnecessary, since we don't generally keep previous milestone images around after the next one has been released | 20:53 |
| xivulon | agree, on top of that server side redirection do not require files visible to the user | 20:54 |
| xivulon | so it would be ubuntu.com/metalinks/8.04 containing ubuntu-8.04-desktop.metalink OR ubuntu-8.04beta-desktop.metalink + ubuntu-8.04-desktop.current.metalink redirection | 20:55 |
| xivulon | the last one being "invisible" | 20:55 |
| xivulon | the filenames therein should match whatever a user would grab manually from the mirrors | 20:56 |
| xivulon | would the above seem reasonable? | 20:57 |
| slangasek | it still has the flaw that it implies using the "8.04" designation before 8.04 is released | 20:57 |
| slangasek | I expect newz2000 will have some opinions on the layout | 20:58 |
| Mithrandir | we could use metalinks/NOT-YET-RELEASED/8.04/ or something like that. | 20:58 |
| xivulon | could be called hardy-desktop, the issue is that all distros share the same codename so can't have that... | 20:58 |
| infinity | We should definitely not use numbers before release. | 20:59 |
| xivulon | ubuntu-beta-desktop.metalink ubuntu-finall-desktop.metalink ...? | 20:59 |
| xivulon | all in 8.04 | 20:59 |
| infinity | I still remember the s/6.04/6.06/ pain. | 20:59 |
| xivulon | I mean either one or the other | 20:59 |
| slangasek | xivulon: I would probably do ubuntu-hardy-desktop-i386.metalink or such; prefixing the distro name to the image name | 20:59 |
| slangasek | or else mirroring the per-flavor heirarchy currently present on releases.u.c/cdimage.u.c | 21:00 |
| xivulon | slangasek: I really only care about having redirections (.htaccess) which are fixed across a cycle and gets updated | 21:00 |
| xivulon | The rest is for "real users" more than programmatic access | 21:01 |
| xivulon | provided the redirections get me to the right metalink, I do not really mind what is called | 21:01 |
| infinity | What's the actual goal here? | 21:01 |
| infinity | A static URL that's always correct? | 21:01 |
| xivulon | yes | 21:01 |
| slangasek | infinity: giving wubi a static url that can be embedded, yes | 21:02 |
| infinity | It's my opinion that having the current alpha turn into the release is very much incorrect. | 21:02 |
| infinity | This is one reason why we do the rename on release. | 21:02 |
| infinity | ubuntu-hardy-desktop.iso != ubuntu-8.04-desktop.iso, and never should we promote anything that claims otherwise. | 21:03 |
| xivulon | don't think there is much confusion there | 21:03 |
| slangasek | there isn't *today*, because we make the distinction | 21:04 |
| infinity | There would be with a static URL that tracks through to release. | 21:04 |
| Mithrandir | any reason wubi can't try two URLs and fall back to the not-yet-released one if the released one doesn't exist? | 21:04 |
| Mithrandir | so it'd be embedding two URLs, not just one | 21:04 |
| infinity | Having different locations and filenames is a big, blinking warning that you're using unreleased code. | 21:04 |
| infinity | Anything that obscures that without warning the user is a no-no to me. :/ | 21:05 |
| infinity | s/unreleased/unsupported/, if you prefer. | 21:05 |
| infinity | (It's obviously all "released") | 21:05 |
| xivulon | That is of course not an issue for the stand-alone version, but it is problematic for the version bundled with the CD | 21:05 |
| infinity | Why is it an issue? | 21:06 |
| slangasek | for the version bundled with the CD, it could read metadata from the CD image itself telling it which url to check...? | 21:06 |
| xivulon | I will have to change the embedded urls just before release | 21:06 |
| infinity | if (download release.iso) { continue; } else { download beta.iso; warn user that it's beta; } | 21:07 |
| xivulon | slangasek: I do parse .disk/info anyway... | 21:07 |
| slangasek | xivulon: in that case, you already have the metadata that tells you whether it's released | 21:07 |
| xivulon | sorry infinity misunderstood you above, yes I can do 2 urls | 21:07 |
| xivulon | slangasek: true. | 21:08 |
| xivulon | but... | 21:09 |
| xivulon | if a user gets a copy of wubi.exe and pass it to a friend, that becomes stand-alone, and will not "know" what to download | 21:09 |
| slangasek | are there identifying version numbers in wubi itself? | 21:10 |
| Mithrandir | xivulon: make it look at http://releases.ubuntu.com/.manifest or something then? | 21:10 |
| xivulon | Now I use 8.04+bzr revision | 21:11 |
| xivulon | But can of course change that | 21:11 |
| xivulon | Mithrandir: you mean the wubi name? | 21:11 |
| xivulon | ah no | 21:12 |
| Mithrandir | xivulon: if you have a standalone .exe, what information does wubi want to collect before it can install? | 21:12 |
| xivulon | it needs to know the metalink url | 21:12 |
| Mithrandir | it needs to be able to construct the right metalink URL, right? | 21:13 |
| xivulon | if the standalone is produced after the ISO ships, that is trivial, but if the standalone is on the CD that is less so | 21:13 |
| xivulon | yes | 21:13 |
| Mithrandir | it's not needed for wubi from 8.04 to be able to install 8.10? | 21:13 |
| xivulon | nope | 21:14 |
| slangasek | huh? why does it make a difference when the .exe is built? | 21:14 |
| xivulon | slangasek: if I release an exe on my website after ISO release I can embedded the right urls | 21:14 |
| slangasek | we will know, a priori, what the urls are for "pre-release" and "release" metalink files, whether these are the same or different | 21:14 |
| slangasek | I think we're all agreed that the urls should be *defined* well in advance | 21:14 |
| slangasek | it's just that the "release" url shouldn't be *populated* prior to the release | 21:15 |
| Mithrandir | they'll just 404 until we actually have released. | 21:15 |
| xivulon | slangasek: correct | 21:15 |
| slangasek | xivulon: ok, so where's the problem then? | 21:15 |
| xivulon | not really a problem, so far there seem to be 2 solutions: I try 2 different urls or we use redirection | 21:15 |
| slangasek | ok | 21:16 |
| xivulon | just need to knwo which route you guys prefer, for me redirection is less work :P | 21:16 |
| cody-somerville | Would someone be so kind to summarize what the problem is? :) | 21:17 |
| slangasek | well, yes, but I think the above 800 lines of scrollback make it clear that there's resistance to using a single, user-visible url for pre- and post-release files :) | 21:17 |
| xivulon | ah but that will not be user-visible | 21:17 |
| cody-somerville | Why would you want that anyhow? | 21:17 |
| slangasek | cody-somerville: the subject at hand is wubi using metalink files; I don't know that there is a problem currently | 21:18 |
| slangasek | xivulon: uh, it'll be on a website, users can access websites, therefore it's user-visible :-) | 21:18 |
| xivulon | in the sense the redirection is serer side (.htaccess) so if you look in the metalinks directory you do not see redirecting urls | 21:19 |
| xivulon | of course you can also opt for visible redirections | 21:19 |
| slangasek | mm, ok | 21:20 |
| xivulon | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_redirect | 21:21 |
| slangasek | eh, "server-side redirect" is a very vague term without any implications of .htaccess or any other mechanism; that was my confusion, citing wikipedia doesn't really help :) | 21:23 |
| xivulon | What I mean is that I can type "http://ubuntu.com/metalinks/hidden_latest.metalink" and get "http://ubuntu.com/metalinks/ubuntu-8.04-desktop.metalink" | 21:25 |
| xivulon | but if you look in "http://ubuntu.com/metalinks" you only see "ubuntu-8.04-desktop.metalink" | 21:25 |
| slangasek | yes. "server-side redirect" implies the former, it didn't imply the latter. But I'm on the same page now. | 21:26 |
| xivulon | in any case the downloaded metalink (and hence iso filename) would reflect the actual status | 21:28 |
| xivulon | so do we use (hidden) redirection or do I test for 2 URLs? | 21:29 |
| slangasek | not our decision to make yet, still needs the webmaster's buy-in :) | 21:29 |
| slangasek | (and if the webmaster nack's hosting it on www.ubuntu.com, then it'll have to be two urls since pre-release images are hosted on a completely different server from releases) | 21:30 |
| === \sh is now known as \sh_away | ||
| xivulon | I would assume that in any case, the filename within the metalink will match the underlying iso file URL (i.e. now it would be hardy-desktop-i386.iso) | 21:31 |
| slangasek | right | 21:31 |
| xivulon | slangsek thanks a lot for bearing with me | 21:32 |
| xivulon | aaaaa^ | 21:32 |
| slangasek | no problem at all; sorry for having deferred this so long | 21:33 |
| xivulon | not strictly a problem for me, I simply wanted to avoid post feature-freeze changes | 21:33 |

| soren | doko: Hm.... I'm having odd problems with grub and right now, my prime suspect is your dpkg patch :) | 22:14 |
| soren | doko: Yup, it seems to be accurate. | 22:17 |
| soren | doko: It checks: | 22:17 |
| soren | if test "x$CFLAGS" = x; then default_CFLAGS=yes | 22:17 |
| soren | fi | 22:17 |
| soren | And if $default_CFLAGS isn't "yes", it doesn't check for e.g. -fno-stack-protector and then it blows up. | 22:18 |
| doko | soren: ohh great, it does the CFLAGS settings stuff in debian/rules, but then it doesn't pass it to the upstream make | 22:21 |
| soren | doko: What would you suggest? Adding -fno-stack-protector to CFLAGS? unset CFLAGS before calling configure? | 22:21 |
| doko | or configure | 22:21 |
| soren | doko: No, it *does* get passed to configure. That's the problem. configure behaves differently depending on whether or not CFLAGS is unset(/empty) or not. | 22:22 |
| doko | soren: this is insane. the conservative thing would be to unexport CFLAGS, and mention it in debian/rules | 22:25 |
| soren | doko: That's your recommendation? | 22:27 |
| soren | doko: I just tested it, and it does indeed fix it. Not surprising, I'm just saying. | 22:27 |
| doko | soren: unexport CFLAGS, and maybe remove the setting of CLAGS in the rules file, it's just misleading | 22:28 |
| soren | doko: Hm... I'm not sure I remember this correctly.. | 22:30 |
| soren | If a makefile specifies CFLAGS, but there's also a CFLAGS environment variable, what happens? | 22:30 |
| soren | The environment variable takes precedence, right? | 22:31 |
| doko | soren: in debian/rules, CFLAGS is not passed to configure, so CFLAGS from debian/files is ignored, configure takes it from the env. in the generated Makefile, it's available and taken, unless you call make with the -e option | 22:32 |
| soren | doko: Ah.. Ok. | 22:33 |
