LaserJockmok0: ping00:51
emgentheya00:51
mok0LaserJock: pong00:51
LaserJockmok0: regarding rasmol00:52
mok0yes00:52
LaserJockare you gonna do a new debdiff?00:52
mok0LaserJock: eeerr, I kinda think my icons are prettier00:52
LaserJockI think perhaps linking to the 32x32 icon might be better than the 48x4800:52
LaserJockmok0: eeerr, I don't really care ;-)00:53
LaserJockyou're creating a 300+KB diff because you think the icons are "prettier"?00:53
mok0LaserJock: Well, I spent time on the icon, and generated it in all the different sizes so I think that is the correct solution00:53
LaserJockno, it's not00:53
LaserJockwe only need 1 icon, and we already have it00:54
LaserJockit's creating a lot more work for us00:54
mok0LaserJock: ?00:54
LaserJockthere's  already and icon00:54
mok0LaserJock: I've already done the work00:54
LaserJockit works just fine00:54
LaserJockmok0: yeah, I'm sorry about that00:55
mok0LaserJock: attention to detail?00:55
LaserJockbut there's just no way we should upload that00:55
mok0LaserJock: lots of packages populate the /usr/share/apps directory00:55
LaserJock*if* there currently isn't anything00:56
LaserJockwe have an icon00:56
LaserJockand we don't need a 300KB diff00:56
mok0LaserJock: ok, well invalidate the bug then00:56
LaserJockwell, there is a bug, in that we need to add a symlink00:56
LaserJockbecause the icon isn't showing up00:56
mok0LaserJock: right00:57
LaserJockbut you probably should have looked at that before doing all the work to create all those new icons00:57
LaserJockyou could also send them to the rasmol authors00:57
LaserJockalthough rasmol is basically a dead upstream00:57
mok0LaserJock: I have a script creating the icons, it's gimping the largest one that took the time.00:58
mok0I could perhaps replace the xpm00:58
LaserJockanyway, I'm not upset or anything, and I'm sorry about the work you've done00:58
LaserJockbut when we've already got an icon it's a good idea to use it00:59
mok0LaserJock: I accept the decision, but I don't agree with it00:59
mok0When the icon gets enlarged it looks really bad00:59
mok0That00:59
LaserJockwhen should they get enlarged?01:00
mok0 that is why you need all those sizes01:00
mok0That is up to the user.01:00
mok0You can choose icon size in konqueror01:00
LaserJockyeah, but I doubt you're gonna get a menu icon over 48x4801:00
mok0right01:00
mok0There's a lot of talk about scalable icons on d-d01:01
mok0Well, I'll change it to a link. *sigh*01:02
LaserJockhmm01:03
LaserJockthe icons are done by Debian I guess01:03
LaserJockperhaps send an icon to the Debian maintainer01:03
mok0LaserJock: Sure01:03
mok0LaserJock: they are talking about a transition towards SVG icons01:04
LaserJocksure01:05
LaserJockwho knows how long that'll take ;-)01:05
mok0LaserJock: good question :)01:05
LaserJockdo they want to create pngs at build time?01:05
mok0LaserJock: No, they want SVG icons that are scalable01:06
mok0real time scaling01:06
LaserJockyikes01:06
LaserJockthat's a bit of a performance hit01:06
LaserJockhopefully we can do both01:06
mok0LaserJock: that was the discussion :)01:06
LaserJockwe've been talking a bit about that for Edubuntu because there's a new icon theme that'd be great01:07
LaserJockbut it's mostly svg01:07
mok0LaserJock: OS X does some kind of real time scaling of icons01:07
LaserJockand on thin clients or old hardware it seems like there might be a significant amount of performance issues01:07
mok0LaserJock: yeah01:08
mok0what's the new icon theme for edubuntu?01:08
LaserJockwell, we haven't moved over yet or anything01:09
LaserJockit's called Ubuntoon01:09
LaserJockbased on Gartoon01:09
mok0For applications etc?01:09
LaserJockthe icons are in a bzr branch at https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntoon/01:10
LaserJockyeah01:10
LaserJockit's a decently full theme now01:10
mok0Cool.01:10
mok0I'd like to see a Kedubuntu :-)01:11
LaserJockyes, we've had work on that01:11
LaserJockthere's an edubuntu-desktop-kde package for that01:11
mok0It'd be cool to get away from the dull blue KDE themes01:11
LaserJocksince like half of our edu apps are KDE anyway ;-)01:11
mok0LaserJock: I'll upload another debdiff for rasmol tomorrow. It's getting late in my timezone01:13
mok0LaserJock: Please unsubscribe u-u-s01:14
LaserJockI did01:14
LaserJockrasmol is in Main01:14
LaserJock:-)01:14
mok0Oh01:14
LaserJockfeel free to ping me and I'll sponsor it for you01:15
mok0LaserJock: Thanks01:15
mok0There are several other apps that lack icons01:15
mok0Is there an effort to go through them?01:15
LaserJockI think it's a good idea01:15
LaserJockwe need to make sure that there actually isn't an icon01:16
LaserJocksometimes they just don't get installed or stuff like that01:16
mok0Perhaps we should make a list on the wiki?01:16
LaserJockand then working well with upstream to get the icons included01:16
LaserJocksince that's really not diff we want to maintain01:16
mok0I think the priority is getting them working in hardy, then we can contribute upstream once hardys window has closed01:17
LaserJockright01:17
LaserJockset up a wiki page if you want01:18
mok0OK, will do01:18
LaserJockI think it'd be worthwhile01:18
mok0Me too. It makes the ui look much better01:18
mok0It looks kludgy when a fourth of the icons are missing01:19
mok0sloppy01:19
LaserJockyeah01:19
LaserJockjust make sure01:19
mok0yes?01:20
LaserJockthat it actually needs an icon01:20
LaserJockrather than having an installation issue01:20
LaserJockor something like that01:21
mok0LaserJock: hmmm, I will make the list of the icons missing on my system, but I don't think I have time to check them all. The folks who fix the particular ones need to help with the checking01:22
LaserJocksure01:23
LaserJockjust having a candidate list would be good01:23
mok0Right. I will make a note on the wiki re: your concerns01:23
mok0LaserJock: Does this work have to be finished before the artwork FF?01:25
mok0Or can it be treated as bugs?01:26
LaserJockmok0: I would think as a bug01:29
LaserJockdepending on the package though a little01:30
LaserJockif it's gonna be in screenshots or something we might need to do something more01:30
mok0So, bugs can be fixed right up to the official release right?01:30
LaserJockwell01:31
LaserJockyou might need to do some notifications01:31
LaserJockmost all the Main packages should have icons so it shouldn't matter too much01:32
mok0LaserJock: Fine. I think a couple of weeks to do this project is enough01:32
LaserJockyeah, if we have a nice list and hit it it should be fast01:33
mok0LaserJock: I'll get on these things tomorrow. Right now I am fading01:33
LaserJockyeah01:33
mok0See you later!01:34

* ScottK2 ponders: Does he upload the patch the shows the final U/I to meet the U/I freeze, but crashes all the time or hold off so the obsolete U/I is still there, but the program at least doesn't crash ...02:38
slangasekor get a waiver for uploading it after the UI freeze so you don't have to worry? :)02:40
LaserJockScottK2: it's an either or?02:40
LaserJockyou can't have a final U/I that works? :-)02:41
slangasekhe probably can't have a final UI that works by tomorrow... :)02:41
* ScottK2 is leaning towards the waiver. He's building with debugging enabled now, so maybe he'll get lucky.02:43
ScottK2Upstream removed on-access scanning from Klamav, but then conveniently left the U/I in place but non-working to give end users and obvious targe for filing bugs.02:44
ScottK2slangasek: Does U/I freeze apply to Universe?  We don't have a process for that listed for Universe.02:51
slangasekScottK2: logically, it would apply to anything the documentation team is writing documentation for, or the translators are translating for02:52
ScottK2Logically.02:53
ScottK2OTOH, I'm just subtracting, so there's no risk that they'll have to translate something extra.  Urgh.02:53

RAOFLaserJock: I also prefer the term "geek", but whatever :)05:07
* somerville32 wishes the meanings of geek and nerd were reversed.05:09
LaserJocksorry, was afk05:09
LaserJockRAOF: so do I05:09
LaserJockbut I'm a nerd, plain and simple05:09
emgentlol05:09
LaserJockI've got an equation and it's got a : in it05:09
LaserJocksomething like a dot product, but not05:10
LaserJockor something05:10
RAOFAn inner product?05:10
RAOFSome more context might be nice?  I can parse latex if necessary.05:11
LaserJockhmm, let me see if I can put something together05:11
LaserJocksomething along the lines of: P = \chi^2 : E_vis E_IR05:13
LaserJockwhere they're all vectors05:13
LaserJockI've not seen just a " : " sitting in an equation before05:13
RAOFE_vis & E_IR are both vectors?  There doesn't seem to be an operator between them?05:14
LaserJockprobably just a dot product05:14
RAOFHm.  It doesn't ring bells, although it could be "proportion".  Which I use an awful lot.05:15
RAOF":" is such a nice, easy to write character it's probably overloaded several times in different fields/papers to mean different things.05:16
LaserJockbah05:16
RAOFCould also be a probability distribution?05:17
LaserJockI've got a presentation tomorrow and I get stuck on what ":" means :-)05:17
LaserJockI don't think so05:17
RAOFI don't suppose they go so far as to _define_ the ":" operator? :)05:18
LaserJockof course not05:19
LaserJockthat would be too easy05:19
LaserJock"he's getting his PhD, he can sweat for it"05:19
RAOF"Colon" is unlikely to be the easiest thing to google for, either.05:20
somerville32http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_mathematical_symbols05:23
somerville32:P05:23
somerville32"For matricies, the colon notation may be used."05:23
LaserJockah ha!05:24
LaserJockidiots05:25
RAOFRight.  Inner product!05:25
LaserJockpfft, and the say math is the universal language ;-)05:25
LaserJock*they05:25
RAOFThat doesn't make a whole lot of sense still.05:26
LaserJockwell, the \chi is a tensor05:26
LaserJockbut the E_* should be just vectors05:27
LaserJockso whatever, as long as I know it's an inner product I'm cool with it05:27
LaserJockthanks RAOF and somerville3205:29
somerville32no problem :)05:29
* RAOF grumbles about physicists not understanding how simple tensors are, and fiddling with crazy indicies.05:30
LaserJockdude, I'm a chemist. I hear "tensor" and I run05:31
RAOFLaserJock: Bah!  It's just the cartesian product of a couple of rings modulo a fairly simple equivalence relation :P05:32
LaserJockmmmmhm05:32
RAOFTrue, tensors as used in, say, a GR course are crazy arcane objects involving a hojilion indicies.05:33
RAOFBut that's because physicists tend to suck at maths.05:33
* LaserJock raises his hand for the "suck at maths" part05:35
StevenKAnd LaserJock isn't even a physicist!05:36
LaserJockStevenK: yeah, I suck so bad at math they wouldn't let me in ;-)05:37
StevenKHaha05:37
LaserJockof *course* I had to pick the paper to present that has all the scary math05:39
LaserJock:/05:39
ScottK2Anything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger.05:40
jmlor gives you a hangover05:41
ScottK2There is that.05:41
RAOFOr possibly cuts of your hands.05:41
StevenK"cuts of your hands" ...05:42
RAOFOh, yeah.  Absolutely.05:42
RAOFThat's clearly not in relation to the previous statements; it's merely meant to provide an existential statement from which conversation can naturally crystalise.05:42
StevenKHah05:43
* LaserJock wonders if he should stop his presentation while he still has hands :s05:43
ScottK2Conversation that doesn't require math.05:43
StevenKThey're wheeling in the bone saw now05:43
RAOFMaybe you'll get choice cuts of someone else's hands?05:43
LaserJockok ...05:44
LaserJockso we went from ":" to "physicists suck" to "I'm a cannibal"05:44

lirihow often do developers check newly added packages or changed packages in the revu archive?09:42
dholbachliri: at the moment not that much - we're in Feature Freeze (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule) so NEW packages are only allowed with a special exception09:43
geserliri: currently not very often as new packages aren't added to hardy anymore09:43
liriwell I uploaded my first package to revu at the beginning of January (2008)  but I only got around to fix the reported errors recently and uploaded the changed package yesterday...09:51
persialiri: The issue is that Hardy is frozen for new packages.  If the package is in good shape, it will likely get reviewed early, and included in the next release.09:52
liriwhat does it mean in terms of time table? :)09:56
persialiri: Roughly speaking, late May or early June.09:59
liripersia: so only by that time will the package get more reports on if it's ok or would it need more changes? kinda long time to wait :)09:59
persialiri: Most likely.  There are exceptions, but Beta Freeze is in about a week, so from then exceptions are unlikely.  Also, the REVU Coordinator for the next release may start activities as early as late April, although this is sooner than has been done in the past.10:01
liripersia: bummer... I thought I could get some feedback much before that10:02
persiaWhile it's a bit of a wait, that is in part because it is just two weeks past the freeze deadline.  While there is considerably more complexity involved, release schedules often consist of about three months for new stuff (new versions, new applications, new functions, etc.) and three months of testing and polish,10:02
dholbachliri: that's the crux of time-based releases: at some stage you have to focus your efforts on fixing the stuff that is in the archive alaready10:02
lirialright well, I guess I'll just have to wait10:03
persialiri: You may be able to get feedback, but the vast majority of developers are concentrating on other things.  If you really want to work on that package rather than distribution polish, you might consider working to get it into Debian: I think their freeze cycle doesn't start until next month, and Ubuntu will automatically sync in April or May.10:04
liriI want to continue with Ubuntu10:04
lirithis is just about getting it into the motu repository, isn't it?10:04
persiaWell, there's not really a "MOTU" repository, but getting it into the universe component of the Ubuntu repository, yes.10:05
liripersia: thanks11:57

bobboRainCT: Might as well, what have i done wrong this time?17:50
RainCTbobbo: well, the package is using a patch system (dpatch), so it would be best to use a patch to fix that17:51
* bobbo goes to dig out log of that patch session pitti did last week17:51
bobboRainCT: theres already an ed.1 spelling mistake dpatch, *embarrased*17:53
bobbodoesnt fix the current bug though (obviously)17:53
RainCTbobbo: yes, but it fixes another problem17:53
RainCTright..17:53
hellboy195LucidFox: around?17:53
LucidFoxyes17:53
RainCTbobbo: so better you create a new one.. (08_ubuntu-doc-typo-fixed.dpatch or whatever)17:53
bobboRainCT: ok17:54
RainCTbobbo: (because a) so it's easier to use again if Debian isn't responsive, and b) the existing patch refers only to ed.1, not the other files)17:54
hellboy195LucidFox: you remember the problem with starplot? pitti built it again on LP for me but it fails with the same strange error :\17:54
RainCTbobbo: to create the patch just run "cdbs-edit-patch 08_ubuntu-doc-typo-fixed.dpatch", do the changes, and then "exit 230"17:55
bobboRainCT: thanks :D17:55
LucidFoxI have no idea about it, sorry17:55
hellboy195RainCT: what's for ACK'ing dialog. in the evening I would have written the same. so thx so far :)17:56

blueyedHow is a package like virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-8-generic to be upgraded to virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-10-generic automatically? I'm asking, because it does not appear to happen (any more?)..18:54
RainCTblueyed: with a transitional package, or if it's installed as a dependency for another package just change the dependency and I think the package manager should remove the old one as it's unused18:56
blueyedRainCT: so it needs a meta package then? Changing the dependency in virtualox-ose does not make sense IMHO. Probably it should get added to linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24?!18:57
RainCTblueyed: I can't really answer to that as I've no idea how virtualbox/kernel packaging works.. :(18:59
blueyedRainCT: I think I'll provide a "real" package virtualbox-ose-modules, which depends on the current variants.. instead of the current variants only providing the virtual virtualbox-ose-modules package.19:00
james_wCarlFK: I think you need to #include <stddef.h>19:02
CarlFKjames_w: that got me much further19:04
CarlFKin fact, I think I can ignore what errored19:04
CarlFKjames_w: bam!  thank you.19:05
james_wCarlFK: no problem. It's a very cryptic error, but I find it usually means "unknown type".19:07

hellboy195geser: you already know if this clean-la patch is still required?20:20
geseryou mean for libnxml?20:21
emgentheya geser20:21
geserHi emgent20:21
hellboy195geser: yep20:21
geserhellboy195: is it the only remaining change?20:24
hellboy195geser: nope. I will introduce a new one20:24
hellboy195geser: but except that it's the only one, yes20:24
geserhellboy195: I'd suggest to test-build it without clean-la.mk and check then the libnxml.la file if it contains references of other .la files20:25
hellboy195geser: yeah dholbach already told me. the only diff is that the debian la has the line "build-deps" filled with the depencies20:26
hellboy195geser: what I mean. Debian has dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libcurl.la /usr/lib/libidn.la -lldap -L/usr/lib -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lz /usr/lib/libgnutls.la'20:27
hellboy195geser: and ubuntu instead only dependency_libs=''" . That's the difference20:27
geseryes, that's exactly the reason why clean-la.mk was uses20:27
hellboy195geser: so it's still necessary I suppose?20:28
geseryes20:28
hellboy195geser: great. thank you :)20:28
geseryou might be lucky that it not needed currently and libmrss builds20:28
hellboy195geser: ??20:29
geserthe problem in the past was that libgnutls.la moved from /lib/ to /usr/lib/ but the libnxml.la file had still the old location which lead to a FTBFS because it couldn't find the libgnutls.la file20:29
hellboy195geser: ah. k20:30

hellboy195geser: omg. wth? wired20:39
geserforget it, wrong fix20:39
hellboy195^^20:39
geserpartly correct, configure runs now but make is missing the " around the CFLAGS20:40
hellboy195geser: that means. configure hates " and make loves it20:40

hellboy195geser: ah, sry. where to add it in line 42? CFLAGS="$ ?20:46
geseryes20:47
hellboy195geser: so I prepare the merge/debdiff now. I hope this fixes it. I can't test it because it worked in my pbuilder ..20:48
geserhellboy195: you can use your PPA20:49
hellboy195geser: true. hmm nvm. we have time :)20:49
hellboy195geser: that problem is that I always have problem with signing so I avoid using my PPA ^^20:55
hellboy195geser: uhh nice. a unset GPG_AGENT_INFO20:56
hellboy195 fixed it. how can I make that static?20:56
geserhellboy195: no idea, you could try to add no-use-agent to your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf20:57
hellboy195geser: k, thx21:01
hellboy195geser: but if it builds fine in my PPA the first thing I will do, after I did the debdiff, is to report that back to debian :)21:04
geseremgent: have you seen http://packages.qa.debian.org/v/vlc/news/20080228T160212Z.html already?21:07

emgentthanks geser21:07
emgentuhm other security fix..21:08
hellboy195geser: ah wait. maybe a mistake from me21:09
hellboy195geser: ah stupid question. Where does the " has to end in $(MAKE) all CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS) INSTALLPGM=$(INSTALLPGM) \21:10
hellboy195docdir=/usr/share/doc mandir=/usr/share/man sysconfdir=/etc ?21:10
geserhellboy195: CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)"21:10
hellboy195geser: thank you very much. :)21:11
geserso the value from CFLAGS (line 9 or 11) gets passed as CFLAGS to make and not only the first part of it21:11

blueyedAny ideas why apt pulls in the -386 kernel if a package depends on "-386|-generic|..."? the -generic variant could be used without pulling another kernel image in.. http://pastebin.com/m363876fa22:26
pochublueyed: do you have the -generic already installed? I think apt will see if there's any installed and if not, install the first one22:28
pochublueyed: so change the order to be -generic | -386 should do the trick I think22:29
RainCTpochu: Are you sure it looks at the order? I though dpkg would sort them anyway how it wants.. (might be wrong though)22:31
blueyedpochu: changing the order appears to be a workaround only for -generic. The "end" package for -generic depends on linux-image-2.6.24-10-generic, which is installed.. but apt does not seem to resolve this properly to detect it being installed.. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic is not yet installed, but should get preferred, because it depends on the -generic kernel image (which is installed)22:32
pochuRainCT: nope, it won't sort OR'ed dependencies22:32
RainCTpochu: oh, cool :)22:32
blueyedthat's right.. this way you can put a preferred one in front of a more generic one.22:32
pochuso if you have "foo, bar | foobar" it will become "bar | foobar, foo"22:33
RainCTI see :)22:33
RainCTpochu: thanks22:33
pochuRainCT: but that sorting will likely be reverted in dpkg22:33
pochuas a developer may have a reason to sort if in some special way22:34
