Nafallo!revu16:11
ubotwoREVU is a web-based tool to give people who have worked on Ubuntu packages a chance to "put their packages out there" for other people to look at and comment on in a structured manner. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU16:11
Nafalloput it there :-)16:11
crimsunyen: cf. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages16:12
yenthks, i am taking a look16:13
crimsunxsystemx: virtualbox-ose being the source package residing in universe.  MOTU care for those.16:18
xsystemxcrimsun - you've been a great help !16:18
xsystemxcrimsun - just cant figure out what dvd rom is not in virtualbox settings?16:20
crimsunkeescook: hardening-wrapper installs a symlink for gcc-4.3 and g++-4.3 in hardy, and neither of those are valid for Ubuntu.  May I remove the #4.3# reference from debian/rules?16:20
crimsunkeescook: (as well as debian/p{reinst,ostrm})16:21
crimsunhmm, I guess you'd want to retain the reference in debian/postrm to handle the hardy->hardy upgrade case.16:24

protonchrisIf I am just changing a package to fix the dependencies (soname bump), do I need to submit a FFE?16:54

protonchristhanks.16:55
hefe_biaShort question: Should a source change backport change the maintainer field in control?17:05
RainCTDoes this need a FFe? http://code.google.com/p/hotwire-shell/wiki/HotwireChanges#Changes_in_Hotwire_0.71017:14

Tilllinuxheya. I'm looking for something like a tutorial for building .deb packages (e.g. the OGRE rendering engine etc)17:21
crimsunTilllinux: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html, https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/appendix-resources.html17:24
crimsundpm: it adds an explicit hardy task above and beyond the implicit hardy bug report18:30
crimsundpm: IOW, it's unnecessary18:30
dpmcrimsun: ok, thanks18:31
protonchrisIs it too late to request a sync from debian unstable (with a FFE of course)?18:36
protonchrisI should mention that the package I want to sync is in main.18:37
crimsunprotonchris: it might be.  Is it an entirely new version or a new packaging revision?18:38
protonchrisNew version.  3.0.1 -> 3.0.218:39
protonchrisIt is libgda.  The soname does stay the same though.18:39
crimsunlikely pretty minor.  Which package?18:39
protonchrislibgda318:39
crimsunprotonchris: I'd file one, then.18:40

superm1crimsun, you got a sec to look over a backports bug?19:06
m8ramcrimsun: thx, but in addition to guidelines concerning packaging something for debian/ubuntu I'm also looking for information on how to start working on the upstream project itself19:06

RainCTm8ram: if it seems to be abandoned and you want to adobt it I'd mail the upstream developer asking about it and if he doesn't answer in a reasonable amount of time (2-4 weeks for example) create a fork20:13
m8ramRainCT: that's one way of doing it, but it didn't seem "right" to me, but then again I have no experience with this...20:14

hellboy195erle-: hi21:47
erle-will there be a newer version of swfdec in hardy?21:47
hellboy195erle-: 0.5.4-121:47
squentinI've got the 2 ack for my ffe request (bug #199988). Now I must attach the debdiff to the bug and subscribe u-u-s, right ?21:47

hellboy195squentin: I think you don't have to do anything :)21:48

squentinhellboy195: no problem21:51
squentinbtw, why use a debdiff, instead of uploading a source package ?21:52
hellboy195erle-: 0.6 is in debian experimental. If it gets to unstable soon you have a chance to see it in hardy21:52
RainCTsquentin: is the package in Debian?21:52
squentinno, not yet21:52
erle-hellboy195, thx for info21:52
RainCTsquentin: ah, then attach the .diff.gz21:53
RainCTsquentin: does it have a debian/watch file or get-orig-source rule?21:53

RainCThellboy195: subscribe, not assign21:56
hellboy195ohh21:56
RainCTwell, assign is also good (if that sends me a mail, I'm not sure if it does), but if you just subscribe me someone else might look at it in before21:57

azeem"If you're not scared by packages generating their patch series by applying sed statements from cdbs include files before passing the patches through an awk filter to quilt until they're finally built with yada, you might be the right person."23:34
azeemthat could also be the MOTU tag line23:34
LaneyThat brought me out in a cold sweat when I first read it23:37
* Fujitsu stabs azeem with yada, several times.23:37
azeemyou know where this is from?23:38

azeemit's from the job posting asking for new Debian Security Team members23:39
FujitsuSome RFA, or RFH, for some package that deserves to die a horrible painful death?23:39
FujitsuAh.23:39
* Fujitsu is fine with doing Ubuntu security work, and has only had to deal with yada-using packages once or twice.23:39
FujitsuIt was more than mildly unpleasant, but....23:40
FujitsuToo many ScottKs.23:43
ScottK3One of them will go away in a bit.23:44

FujitsuAnyone know of a way to get LP to give me a list of all open bugs in a package, regardless of whether they're release-specific or not?23:46
tonyyarussoFujitsu: advanced search: by status?23:46
Fujitsutonyyarusso: In what context, though?23:47
tonyyarussoFujitsu: from /ubuntu/+source/packagename23:49
FujitsuI don't think that'll give me stuff that's closed in the current release.23:50
FujitsuBut still open in previous ones.23:50
LaserJockyeah, that might be a tricky one23:50
* tonyyarusso isn't sure23:50
FujitsuLooks like I'll have to look through the page for each release then. Yay.23:51
tonyyarussoI think it does though, b/c I've seen one of the bugs on my subscribe list that way23:51
tonyyarussoa wordpress sql injection one23:51
FujitsuThat's a subscription list.23:51
FujitsuWhich is different.23:51
tonyyarussoright23:51
tonyyarussomeh23:51
* tonyyarusso hasn't really bothered learning LP, since it looks like they aren't actually going to O-S it23:52
LaserJockthat's always been the plan, and I haven't heard anything otherwise23:54
pwnguini imagine they wont GPL/AFL it until it can track another instance of itself23:54
RAOFThat was the main justification I've heard, yes.23:54
pwnguinbut if it can track sourceforge...23:55
pwnguinand savahanna23:55
pwnguinthen there doesn't seem to be a large push for it internally23:55
LaserJockno, it's not about tracking itself23:55
LaserJockit's about launchpad.net being the canonical instance23:56
LaserJockalthough it's odd to have a goal of centralizing FLOSS development while developing a decentralized VCS ;-)23:58
