[00:00] the decentralized vcs recognizes that development already happens that way, and pushing a distrbuted VCS helps set up a centralized point to track all these distributed changesets [00:01] sure [00:02] but to me it sort of makes one wonder if the goal of centralizing the FLOSS world in LP is a workable idea [00:03] the only way to reconcile this is to imagine that some day they'll release the code, I guess ;) [00:05] pwnguin: well, that's certainly the plan [00:06] Mark said today that he expects an API by July [00:06] I think that's a big hurdle for them [00:07] What was today? [00:07] I thought so [00:08] yeah, today [00:09] anyways, what about the brainstorm code? ;) [00:09] "I'm pretty confident that you will be able to do anything with bugs or branches programatically by the end of July" [00:10] Why should it need to be the canonical instance if it can track itself, and therefore still have all of the data that a canonical instance would have? [00:10] the idea was that people should use launchpad.net, not just launchpad [00:11] tonyyarusso: probably along the lines of "50 dollars and you can fork ubuntu!" [00:11] Well I know that's the idea, but I don't know why they think forcing that on people is okay. [00:11] having launchpad being able to talk to each other to a level where it's effectively the same thing [00:11] because if they didn't then it's just like having gforge or trac/bugzilla [00:12] the idea is to create a common FLOSS workspace that holds bugs, blueprints, code, packages for everything [00:13] meh, I don't write code yet, but if/when I do I won't be comfortable hosting it on a platform that flies in the face of the entire ideal set. [00:13] so the only way to get that with multiple instances is to effectively make it possible to make the instances a part of a gigantic whole [00:13] google code/ [00:13] ? [00:15] There are at least 3 closed codehosting sites widely used for open source projects that I can pick off the top of my head :) [00:15] exactly. [00:16] So why add more? [00:16] I'd rather host my own subversion repository, personally. [00:16] because none of them are effective at distro sized projects/ [00:16] * pwnguin has his ? button inspected [00:16] LaserJock: But it's not a FLOSS workspace. [00:17] tonyyarusso: Because SourceForge sucks. Bad. [00:17] is there a MOTM? [00:17] bmk789_: No, MOTU covers it. [00:17] ah i see thanks [00:17] ScottK2: I believe that is the goal, no? [00:18] recall that scott's hatred for lp is more than just copyrights [00:18] It's been stated as a goal, but I'm judging things on actions rather than vague promises until I see something hinting otherwise. [00:18] LaserJock: It's a stated goal, but it's not an actuality. There's no timeline and IMO the developers are not at all community oriented, so even if the code were freed tomorrow it would be a long time before much changes. [00:19] I believe most projects hosted on LP are FLOSS [00:19] True, but beside the point. [00:19] well, you said it wasn't an actuality === bmk789_ is now known as bmk789 [00:19] It's not a FLOSS anything [00:19] but I'm not exactly seeing how it's not [00:20] It's proprietary. [00:20] it's for FLOSS I wasn't saying it *was* FLOSS [00:20] Ah. [00:20] I agree with you that it's not FLOSS currently [00:20] Well as I've said before I consider that a fatal flaw. [00:20] but I see no reason to doubt that it won't one day be FLOSS [00:21] My perspective on that has only hardened as I've interacted with their developers and tried to help make it better. [00:21] I see no reason to believe it will be. [00:21] in general Mark's been fairly trustworthy on these things [00:21] most of the devs are FLOSS guys [00:21] They don't much act like it IMO. [00:21] part of it has already been opened [00:21] though it is not much [00:21] but they are [00:21] I agree that he intends to open it, I just don't think the necessary preconditions are achievable. === ajmitch_ is now known as ajmitch [00:22] ah [00:22] well, I can go a bit there [00:22] I think it'll ultimately work [00:22] LaserJock: WHat part has? Storm isn't actually part of it yet... [00:22] I thought they were using it [00:22] I guess cscvs, but that's about it. [00:22] LaserJock: It's scheduled for the next release or two, IIRC. [00:23] ah [00:23] so there's 2 parts [00:23] not much, but something anyway [00:23] How long has it been since he first promised to open it? Two years? More? [00:24] probably a bit longer [00:24] he's never set a time though [00:24] The FAQ has said it for about 3 years. [00:24] If you can't follow through on a promise like that in 12 months or less, you lose credibility in my eyes. [00:24] why? [00:24] tonyyarusso: It said it would likely take years. [00:25] Fujitsu: They can say whatever they want. Fact is, after the first year, I no longer trust that claim until the day it comes true. [00:26] well, whatever [00:26] I really couldn't care less [00:27] Mark and Canonical say they're gonna open source it when the time is right [00:27] and I haven't seen anything to make me thing that's changed [00:27] it's being worked on [00:27] even if it's not as fast as I'd like [00:27] what negative effects would be seen if it were released say... today? [00:28] pwnguin: A complete loss of income from it, perhaps? [00:28] that'd just add to the problem they're already trying to fix [00:28] does LP have anything money related? [00:28] yes [00:28] commercial projects have to pay for LP [00:28] pwnguin: Yes, and a lot more features to encourage that are coming. [00:28] LaserJock: commercial project which are FLOSS? [00:29] azeem: no [00:29] I don't think so anyway [00:29] See, that's the thing. We've been given no technical reasons, but there are financial reasons, so I'm inclined to believe it's completely a financial matter, which bothers me. [00:29] proprietary I guess [00:29] tonyyarusso: they give technical reasons [00:29] ok, cause you said it was targetted at FLOSS projects above [00:30] tonyyarusso: We do have technical reasons. [00:30] azeem: yes, but they have to pay the bills ;-) [00:30] The point of Launchpad vanishes if it is split up. [00:30] LaserJock: What, "we don't want to be embarrassed by someone seeing our code"? [00:30] k [00:30] Fujitsu: not if it was properly designed... [00:30] tonyyarusso: come on! I just gave you reasons [00:31] azeem: it's free for FLOSS projects but proprietary projects have to pay. Pay the bills while encouraging FLOSS [00:31] "Thank God nobody's looking at this comment, or my reputation would be ruined." -- Gordon Matzigkeit in the Solaris boot-loader code [00:31] LaserJock: What's the difference between being able to track everything in one location and forcing everyone to use the one location directly, other than what URL you type in? [00:31] tonyyarusso: it discourages collaboration [00:31] LaserJock: how? [00:31] Nobody can collaborate on LP anyway. [00:31] sure they can [00:32] not unless they're on the dev team... [00:32] packagers can files bugs on upstreams [00:32] bzr branches, etc. [00:32] all in the same place [00:32] You could do that the way I said too. [00:32] whereas we already know how hard it is to deal with 1000's of upstreams [00:32] with different websites, bug trackers, etc. [00:32] If all of the LPs can talk to each other, it's the same as being one. [00:33] yes [00:33] but they don't have that yet [00:33] so that's part of what Mark's talking about [00:33] Which is a technical reason :) [00:33] the API needs to get finished [00:33] Then that's what they should have been working on this whole time. [00:33] they have been [00:34] I don't believe that it. They added support for other trackers in that time, but not their own? [00:34] no [00:34] they don't have full support [00:34] vcs imports have to be done by hand [00:34] Could have gotten the work done faster with more input anyway, so it would have been easier to accomplish by starting open right off the bat. [00:34] they are working around stuff trying to provide services for us [00:34] tonyyarusso: But LP needs to be reasonably code- and nearly totally design-stable before you can open it without introducing incompatibilities later. [00:34] but tracking another LP with translations, bugs, branches, blueprints, answers, etc. is a *much* bigger task [00:35] tonyyarusso: i suppose the idea is that they will make a service akin to git -- distributed bug tracking that can push bug reports around multiple trackers [00:35] Translations in particular would be near impossible. [00:35] RAOF: So have people review additions and offer direction. [00:35] Gotta run (getting on a plane) [00:35] pwnguin: precisely. [00:35] tonyyarusso: automatically. which isnt done anywhere yet ;0 [00:36] meh, like I said, this is a priority for me, so I'm staying at arm's length until something changes. [00:36] tonyyarusso: But if the point is that you don't want people forking it until it can talk to itself, how does that review help? [00:37] Not that I wouldn't *prefer* having LP open sourced, and it could probably fulfil the same role, but it's not like there aren't reasonable reasons for it :) [00:38] RAOF: The forks could talk too... [00:38] people don't just fork randomly either, and when they do, users will follow the better one usually. [00:38] tonyyarusso: the forks could talk, right up until either side updates [00:39] pwnguin: at which point you'd know the code necessary to talk to the update [00:39] Here's what it comes down to: Can LP talk to my self-hosted web page with my code? [00:40] tonyyarusso: No, probably not. But why are you self-hosting? [00:40] RAOF: because I don't want to be on LP / sourceforge / etc. [00:41] Because I'm not comfortable trusted my open code to a closed service. [00:41] Therefore, for me personally, LP fails at "bringing everything together", but I don't want to accept its conditions of participation. [00:42] Right. So when it's open this will go away, and you won't be self-hosting? [00:45] Correct. [00:45] Well, provided they also fix a few "pet bugs" in functionality, but that's quite likely :) === santiago-php is now known as santiago-ve === ember_ is now known as ember [01:14] I'm trying to get pbuilder to use a local repo on /var/caches/archive but when I run pbuilder update --bindmount /var/cache/archive --override-config --othermirror "deb file:///var/cache/archive/ gutsy/" it says "Ign file: gutsy" for Release.pgp, Release, and Packages. [01:30] ScottK: Hey, I put up a new Wine package on review and \sh has been gone for a few days. Care to take a look? [01:35] YokoZar: The most cursory scan suggests the question: Why is it versioned as 0.9.57-0ubuntu1-1? [01:40] Any MOTUs have a minute to upload the updated conduit? 2 ACKs already given. [01:50] pwnguin: launchpad clearly can't be released as a FLOSS project today, because then everyone would see the amount of hacks, and general crack in launchpad, and would then refuse to use it for their projects, due to it's quality. [01:50] this is simple. [01:52] see the interesting crack surrounding how launchpad implements private bugs. [01:52] (when the entire librarian, which all files get stored on, is public) [01:58] crimsun, it was bug 200044. sorry i've been out for part of the evening [01:58] Launchpad bug 200044 in mythbuntu "MythTV 0.21 Suite backport" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/200044 [02:16] RAOF: oh whoops, that was a typo when I did uupdate. If that matters I can fix it, however we'll likely have another Wine package after this one too [02:16] RAOF: at which point it'll be 0.9.58-0ubuntu1 [02:22] YokoZar: It's still a good idea to fix up this candidate, even if the next one may come (hasn't .57 been recently released?) [02:22] RAOF: Yes it will be 2 weeks for the next one [02:23] YokoZar: So, the question becomes... why not wait those 2 weeks? :) [02:23] RAOF: Because Hardy only has 0.9.56 [02:24] RAOF: my package fixes some other bugs too (ubuntu specific) [02:24] Right. _That_ is a reason :) === kdub is now known as kdubois === Ibalon is now known as zakame === kdu1 is now known as kdub [04:10] hi, i've packaged some software for fedora, and the developer of the upstream has asked me to find a maintainer for ubuntu. is anyone interested and/or where else could i ask [04:12] ianweller: you'll probably have better luck if you say what the package is. (and note that it's a weekend, and therefore sparsely populated) [04:12] flam3.com [04:12] do you think i should ask tomorrow [04:13] yes. [04:13] k. [04:13] will do [04:13] the mailing list is also an option with a wider audience. [04:13] ok [04:13] You can also file a bug and tag it with "needs packaging" [04:16] tonyyarusso: so 'needs packaging' is a tag, with or without quotes? [04:18] ianweller: without [04:18] there might even be a hyphen in that - see if you can find another one and copy it. [04:19] the wiki has instructions for new packages somewhere as well - start at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU and look around (don't remember the path right now) [04:19] kthx [06:37] * RAOF wonders idly why there's a 30 sec pause in the middle of his boot process with no I/O or CPU load. [06:38] are you up to date? [06:38] Sounds like a spin with sleep [06:38] there was a changelog in usplash about SLEEP 0 causing a bit of spin ;) [06:39] How up to date is up to date? The lappy is up to date as of ~8 hours ago. [06:41] RAOF: Is it during the `hahahah I'm going to confuse you into thinking I'm a live CD' part of usplash? [06:43] Fujitsu: I'm not quite sure where that bit is :). Now that I come to think of it, it's probably not entirely usplash's fault; the pause is still there without splash, and occurs at the "loading kernel drivers" (or somesuch) phase. [06:43] RAOF: Hardy's usplash recently started doing the side-to-side scrolly thing during initramfs, like the live CD does throughout the boot process. [06:43] It thoroughly confused me the first time I saw it. [06:44] it looks like it booted fine for me [06:44] RAOF: I ask because my laptop hangs for about 30 seconds in initramfs, unless I force the clocksource to HPET. [06:44] Oh, that. That's been there for ages. I probably see it more than you, 'cause it takes a while for me to enter the passphrase. [06:44] though it is about a second longer than last time ;) [06:45] RAOF: I use LUKS too... [06:45] Fujitsu: No, I don't think that's me. I go from grub(2) to passphrase-entry in a couple of seconds. [06:45] OK, so that's not your problem. [06:45] ok, so if readahead's job is to prime the read cache for boot [06:46] why do i have so much disk activity even after it's done? [06:48] Hmm, activity eh? Anyone have a minute to upload the already-ACKed new version of conduit? [06:51] * RAOF is puzzled by the lack of nspluginwrapper maintainer scripts. Don't we do something on install to make it work? [06:53] asac: Ping! I'm having a look at bug #196540 , and it seems we could almost sync it. Is it blocking on you for any particular reason? [06:53] Launchpad bug 196540 in nspluginwrapper "Merge nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.5-2 from Debian(Unstable)" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/196540 [06:55] Ah, I see now. You don't need to do any nspluginwrapper configuration; flash needs to call it during *it's* postinst. [06:56] good morning [07:05] siretart: can you please extened my membership of the fai launchpad team? === Frogzoo_ is now known as frogzoo === doko_ is now known as doko [08:19] torkel: sure, just a sek [08:20] siretart: thanks [08:49] RAOF: not sure ... are there any significant improvements in that version? [08:52] asac: A question. Do you plan to update your PPA to include latest svn snapshots of network manager? [08:58] slytherin: eventually yes [08:58] but not today ;) [08:58] asac: Take your time. Thanks. :-) === \sh_away is now known as \sh [09:38] asac: It apparently fixes the "if you have too many flash objects running nspluginwrapper crashes" bug. [09:54] RAOF: hmmm what about ia32-libs-gtk ... is that still a depends of the debian package? [09:57] It is, yeah. [09:57] Our ia32-libs provides it, but it's a little ugly. [09:58] The sid package builds, installs, and works correctly, though. [09:59] asac: Although, of course, now that I try and verify that it fixes all my flash problems I can no longer reproduce them with the original Ubuntu package. Grrr. [10:01] hehe [10:04] It seems I can watch zeropunctuation, which used to be a sure-fire nspluginwrapper crash. === cebitlogger is now known as apachelogger [11:10] siretart: please renew my launchpad fai team membership [11:12] <\sh> siretart: mine too pls :) [11:14] allee: already done, \sh: done :) [11:14] siretart: thx [11:14] * \sh hugs siretart :) [11:36] siretart: what is the status of FAI in hardy? unionfs is still somewhat problematic, right? Anything else?

[11:44] Hey [12:19] siretart, \sh: when we can find a way to get grub the mbr installed, we have some anoying bug in error log, but I assume a more or less working fai. [12:20] allee: err, and the unionfs problem? [12:20] siretart: /target and /tmp is a normal or tmpfs so most things work [12:21] sure, but for me, fai fails to setup things like /etc/resolve.conf and /etc/apt/sources.list [12:21] siretart: I've removed so files from fairoot, e.g, /etc/resolv.conf and the the boot procedure can create it [12:22] siretart: it's all a hack, but better than nothing. So after plains ugly hacks *shudder*, AFAICS only grub left [12:24] allee: oh, do you have a list of files that need to be removed? if yes, I'd suggest that we commit that to our branch and update the packages in hardy [12:24] I'd like to have something almost usable, even if its just a hack [12:24] for the grub problem, I *think* my student has found a solution for that [12:24] need to check with him [12:25] <\sh> hmmm? grub in mbr? [12:25] <\sh> that was working the last time [12:25] siretart: I've check what I added last Thursday to the nfsroot-hooks [12:25] \sh: for me last week: no OS found on disk [12:26] \sh: ah, right the menu.lst was empty. Nothing added by update-grub [12:26] allee: which branch did you commit to? [12:28] allee: https://code.launchpad.net/fai/+branches does not list any updates on the branches from you?

I plan to try again as soon as I get rid of 'urgent' TODO in my inbox [12:33] allee: I need to write him an email [12:34] siretart: ok, thx [12:35] allee: it is not as easy as creating $target/boot/grub before running update-grub? [12:35] torkel: that not the problem. even menu.lst is there, but the kernel list automaticly added by update-grub is empty [12:36] allee: oh [12:37] torkel: and when I found this stop last week, so no idea where is goes wrong yet [12:38] allee: it seems to be working for me. My current showstopper is that it can't find my lvm:s after the installation [12:39] torkel: oh, maybe -12 kernel changed something [12:41] allee: I guess I have to add dm_mod to the initramfs [12:43] siretart: if we have fixes for hardy, what branch to use? A ~/fai/fai- or merge to on off the two ~fai/fai/* branches? [12:44] <\sh> allee: well, yes...I managed to use a default kernel name with a self build kernel ;) [12:45] \sh: :) [12:45] <\sh> allee: this menu.lst post-install thingy never worked for me in a good way ;) [12:46] <\sh> 7topic Congrats to Scott Ritchie for the first Wine Upload in Ubuntu :) [12:46] \sh: never had problems in dapper,feisty (had ot skip gutsy) [12:47] <\sh> allee: well, right now I'm happy that I don#t have this setup again...combots ade :) [12:48] allee: just commit to trunk-ubuntu [12:48] siretart: okay [12:50] siretart, \sh, torkel: any idea how to have the ubuntu-kernel guys ponder about the unionfs problem? Or did they? [12:50] allee: I didn't manage to get any reaction about that on #ubuntu-kernel [12:50] I suspect they are too busy with other stuff :( [12:52] so maybe we all join #ubuntu-kernel and fire a 'please have a look at bug #197006' to fix the bad charma ubuntu kernel tend to have.

[16:15] Launchpad bug 191205 in wml "[wml] [CVE-2008-0665] [CVE-2008-0666] insecure temporary files" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/191205 [16:17] emgent: done [16:17] thanks [16:18] emgent: You might just ask for a task to be opened generally, as there are several people who can do so :) === albert24 is now known as albert23 [16:20] geser: had you the occasion to test new dietlibc candidate on amd64? [16:20] persia, hehe i know, all >= motu can, but i usually ask to last uploader :P [16:20] DktrKranz2: not yet, what kind of test are needed? [16:20] emgent: That's typically only useful when attempting to merge someone else's changes, as they may be coordinating with upstream or Debian. [16:21] persia, ok [16:24] geser: applications segfaults at startup, rebuilding them against new dietlibc-dev should solve it. For instance, util-vserver (run vserver-info - SYSINFO) or slidentd (just run slidentd as shown in bug 86823). [16:24] Launchpad bug 86823 in slidentd "Slidentd immediately segfaults" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/86823 [16:24] ScottK2, okay i got a few folks to comment on the bug [16:24] * ScottK2 looks again [16:25] (any other help from amd64 users is appreciated too) [16:26] I tested on sparc and ppc and it should work now. [16:27] mario_limonciell: Ack'ed to the archive. [16:27] thanks === \sh is now known as \sh_away [16:56] ScottK2: hello [16:56] ScottK2: just a question : is there any limit date to finish the python-xml removal ? [16:57] (not really sure where it fits in the various freezes) [17:27] hi all === Ubulette_ is now known as Ubulette [18:01] huats: Sooner the better, but I'd say definitely before the beta [18:04] ok === santiago-php is now known as santiago-ve [18:59] hellboy195: heya [18:59] RainCT: ahoi :) [18:59] I'm starting to think that patches hate me :) [18:59] RainCT: no merge working for you O_o ? [19:00] I'm looking at cfingerd [19:00] and it had rejects [19:00] but don't worry will apply those manually :P [19:00] ahhhh [19:00] * RainCT runs against the wall :P [19:01] RainCT: but you can trust me. I build every merge and all build fine [19:01] * RainCT downloads the source from *Debian* [19:01] :P [19:01] That'll do it (I've done that) [19:01] RainCT: lol [19:05] hellboy195: wow, that's a old package :) [19:07] RainCT: hmm. That's the problem if no one approves it earlier. I forgot all about this package [19:07] heh [19:07] first changelog entry (in a different format than the current ones): Wed May 5 13:20:21 1996 Martin Schulze [19:07] :) [19:08] RainCT: ^^ long living [19:09] hellboy195: ok, uploading. if it fails to build I kill you ;) [19:10] RainCT: Hmm but first the other MOTUs will kill you because you have the responsibility ;) ^^ [19:10] :P [19:12] hellboy195: that's the smae I always thought when I subscribed u-u-s to a debdiff of mine ;). "if I did something wrong and installing the resulting package lets computers explode it's the MOTU's fault" ;P [19:13] nah but it builds fine :) [19:13] RainCT: as I said ;) [19:13] s/smae/same [19:14] RainCT: you are slowly. next merge ;) [19:16] * RainCT is starting to hate python and mono packages. all the time they want unnecessary higher dependencies when installing stuff build for hardy in gutsy :) === asac_ is now known as asac [19:25] DktrKranz: buona sera :) [19:26] hellboy195, Guten Abend :) [19:26] DktrKranz: great :D [19:26] DktrKranz: btw, I found a new victim. I forced RainCT to approve 3 merges ^^ [19:26] \o/ [19:27] what about beagle? [19:27] news about it? [19:27] DktrKranz: no :(. but that's really a shame ... [19:29] hellboy195: I can't download libnxml [19:29] dget: curl libnxml_0.18.1-4.dsc http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/pool/main/libn/libnxml/libnxml_0.18.1-4.dsc failed [19:30] (getting it from lenny seems to work) [19:30] RainCT: you have strange problems with my merges ^^ [19:31] heh [19:32] DktrKranz: of course you are also invited as usual ^^ [19:32] where should .mo files be installed? /usr/share/locale/$LANG/ or /usr/share/locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/ ? is there a policy or something about that? [19:34] Adri2000: [...]/LC_MESSAGES/ is the subdirectory that's in the path [19:34] if you're installing them as part of a package, /usr/share/locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/ is generally correct [19:34] language packs install them elsewhere [19:37] hellboy195, I'm planning to do some, I hope to reduce queue a bit, if Hardy allows me to do them (I'm having some troubles recently) [19:37] DktrKranz: hey. Always mind: "NO Stress" ;) [19:38] DktrKranz: but you know that I'm always happy if someone approves my merges :) [19:38] slangasek: ok. filezilla build system puts them in /usr/share/locale/$LANG/ and the upstream author tells me it doesn't matter because wxwidgets (which filezilla uses) can handle both locations. so is there a standard, policy or something which says they should rather be in LC_MESSAGES/ ? [19:38] hellboy195: was that clean-la thing added in cdbs 0.4.49ubuntu5? [19:38] RainCT: yep [19:38] hellboy195, I used to be, so I know how it feels :) [19:39] DktrKranz: heh [19:40] Adri2000: well, there's the gettext documentation, I guess; and there's the general principle that it's rude to clutter directories that aren't yours. :) [19:40] Adri2000: but as far as a policy saying the files *have* to be under LC_MESSAGES/, I don't think so [19:42] ok I'll take a look at the gettext documentation, thanks :) [19:42] hello, [19:44] I am looking for a Mentor :-) . I am very dynamic and I have a great sense of well accomplished jobs. And I'd like to contribute a lot to Ubuntu [19:44] :-) [19:44] any mentor interessed :-D [19:46] wb Daviey [19:46] wb DktrKranz [19:46] Daviey: sry ^^ [19:46] wattazoum: please check the wiki for information on how to get a mentor :) [19:46] DktrKranz: sto andando via means "I keep moving on"? [19:46] hellboy195, "Quitting" [19:47] hmm [19:47] wattazoum: but you don't need one to start contributing to packaging [19:48] hellboy195: uploading the 3th one ;) [19:49] RainCT: great. time for 3 new ones [19:49] lol [19:49] RainCT, Thank you ! That's what I didn't understand ... How to contibute without being a MOTU ? [19:50] RainCT: now I'm disappointed. Although I did quite a lot merges it always great to hear the common phrase: Uploaded. Thanks for you work. You should take a lot at DktrKranz ;) [19:51] hellboy195, do you think "Uploaded, it's 150 EUR" sounds better? [19:51] wattazoum: I'm searching the links for you (my connection is damn slow today :/)... There's a "sponsorship process" through which you can get a MOTU to check your work and upload it [19:51] DktrKranz: maybe :P [19:51] RainCT, I found this : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Mentoring/Contributor [19:52] RainCT: as punishment I'm assigning 3 more ones to you :P [19:52] noooo :) [19:52] RainCT, in the meantime, hellboy195 will push five more on the queue :) [19:52] * RainCT hides [19:53] heh [19:53] DktrKranz: argh. school is stupid. but next week I'll do :D [19:53] hellboy195: By the way, do you want the bill by email or airpost? [19:53] RainCT: hmm. don't send it for now. You know. More merges are on the way ^^ [19:54] wattazoum: see this too https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted [19:54] RainCT, oki [19:54] RainCT: no to be serious. Thank you very much :) [19:54] mok0: Did you ever come up with any additional wxwidgets2.6 fixes? [19:54] mok0: And how's serpentine? [19:54] wattazoum: if you prefer a mentor of course feel free to request one though :) [19:55] hellboy195: no, thank *you* ;) [19:55] ScottK2: No to both questions... I've been busy [19:55] RainCT: now I'm happy ^^ [19:55] ScottK2: upstreams patches to serpentine made it fail [19:55] * RainCT adds "say thanks -- 5€" to the bill [19:55] RainCT: but they were easy ones so I suppose they were ok and not a lot of work for you [19:56] ScottK2: IMHO serpentine is very immature and I'm not really enthusiastic about it [19:57] RainCT, well , if there is no need for one, I prefere letting the place to someone who need it more. I already have some programming and packaging background and I can learn easily by myself :-) [19:57] wattazoum: great :) [19:57] ^^ [19:58] * wattazoum is going to read some documentation ;-) [19:58] see you soon :) [19:58] cya wattazoum :) [19:59] mok0: So if we went ahead and uploaded your last debdiff that would at least solve the python-xml problem and not do any actual harm? [19:59] mok0: for serpentine ^^^ [20:00] ScottK2: err, no [20:00] OK [20:00] ScottK2: I need to check it some more [20:00] OK. [20:00] ScottK2: what was the problem with wx 2.6? Sorry I forgot [20:01] mok0: With that one you needed to change the python version to 2.4 and later and I asked you to look and see if you could fix anything else while you were at it. [20:01] Since the package has a number of open bugs [20:02] Ah, ok [20:02] I'll put it on my todo [20:04] It seemed a shame to upload for the one line packaging change ... [20:05] ScottK2: It is necessary to require Python >= 2.4 in debian/control because the libxml replacement stuff was introduced with that version -- is my understanding anyway [20:06] mok0: Agreed. It needs to be uploaded, but I wanted to see if there was anything else worth including at the same time. [20:06] ScottK2: I understand. Good point [20:06] ScottK2: I'll look at those other open bugs and see if I can solve them [20:07] Thanks. Debian might be a good source of patches too. [20:08] ScottK2: ok [20:37] ScottK2: did you know if there is any python-binding of ncurses [20:37] urwid? [20:37] I don't know [20:37] (there's one in std lib as well) [20:37] But POX_ is generally reliable on python things, so I'd look into that [20:38] that/those [20:38] ScottK2: thnx! === wolfger_ is now known as wolfger [20:40] http://docs.python.org/dev/howto/curses.html [20:40] http://excess.org/urwid/ [20:41] I'm attempting to package mod_auth_cas, I have everything done, except when I try to load the module into apache, I get this error: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_cas.so: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_cas.so: undefined symbol: authcas_module [20:42] Can someone help? [20:48] RainCT: now we have a problem [20:49] candrews: it sounds like something went wrong while building, such that something wasn't linked correctly. [20:50] do you have any ideas on how i can figure out what went wrong? [20:51] candrews: look in the source code for "authcas_module" and see what it is meant to be., [20:52] grep authcas_module * -i [20:52] Yields no results. [20:52] Where is it getting that it needs to load something by that name? [20:53] candrews: I don't know, possibly in the build somewhere, possibly apache expects it to be there. === Allan_ is now known as Hit3k [21:03] Thanks - that helped me figure it out. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/199754 [21:05] hi. can anyone give me a hint on this error message here? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59185/ [21:06] Legendario: look at line 3 [21:06] don't try to copy things to a directory before you've made sure it exists? [21:07] mok0, but this is on the makefile... how can i correct it? [21:08] Put "usr/share/applications" in the file .dirs [21:08] slangasek, i tried using dh_installdirs by creating a debian/package.dirs file, but i don't know if i did it right [21:08] Legendario: and make sure debian/rules uses dh_installdirs [21:09] mok0: that won't trigger before the install target [21:09] Legendario: the upstream build rules should be fixed [21:09] slangasek: ah, it's a bug in upstream Makefile... [21:09] I see [21:10] the quick and dirty way is to make it in rules [21:10] "mkdir -p debian/lives/usr/share/applications/" [21:10] very dirty [21:11] is archive.ubuntu.com updated more often than it's mirrors? [21:11] slangasek: but very quick :-P [21:12] Legendario: I suggest you go with the quick and dirty to get it to work, and when it does, move the fixes into a patch to upstream's Makefile [21:13] mok0, what about the package.dirs, isn't it supposed to work? [21:13] Skiessi: no, the mirrors are updated more often than the archive [21:13] :-P [21:13] ok [21:13] Legendario: try it [21:14] mok0, gonna do it right away... [21:14] anyway, does anyone know why the sound system is broken in 2.6.24-12? [21:15] mok0, thanks [21:15] Legendario: did it work? [21:15] you too slangasek [21:15] Skiessi: because of bug #200338 [21:15] Legendario: n/p [21:16] bug 200338 [21:16] mok0, i'm doing it now. tell you guys later [21:16] that doesn't say anything [21:16] to anyone [21:16] ubotu? [21:16] no, a bug report [21:16] ubotu's dead :-( [21:16] bug report says there's a bug and that's it [21:16] Skiessi: the bot usually gives us a link [21:17] I know [21:17] Skiessi: you can help by providing more information. Your system, versions, sound card... etc [21:17] Skiessi: on LP [21:18] kk... but it has worked for someone? [21:19] *some people? [21:19] Skiessi: I am running 2.6.24-11 and that has no problems. Haven't rebooted in several days [21:19] mok0: no, no more information is needed, the bug report documents that the fix is released and it's only a matter of the binaries being built. [21:19] but in 2.6.24-12 [21:20] slangasek: ok [21:24] mok0, it didn't work. I guess i have to try the "dirty way". Am I supposed to use a variable like $(CURDIR). I mean on both methods? [21:25] Legendario: Put it in the "build" rule, so the directory will exist before upstream's Makefile tries to install things in it [21:25] Legendario: you can use $(CURDIR) in the mkdir statement I wrote above [21:26] Legendario: but you don't need it if you call dh_testdir in the build rule and you don't change directory in there === bmk789_ is now known as bmk789 [21:27] mok0, dh_testdir is there. So I am just going to put your statement in it. [21:29] Legendario: if it works, patch upstream's Makefile to create a directory $DESTDIR/usr/share/applications [21:30] mok0, ok. [21:32] siretart: so far I have had better luck by removing mtab and resolv.conf from the nfsroot and using unionfs that using aufs. [21:33] siretart: I'm not sure what goes wrong with aufs though [21:46] ScottK2: Do you mind taking a look at bug 190744 and giving it another ACK if you are still ok with it. You ACKed it before, but there have been a lot of changes and I want to make sure that motu-release is ok with it before I subscribe u-u-s.

I don't run Ubuntu myself (so i can't package it) but I get several emails from users asking why it is not available for Ubuntu [22:36] The app is pretty much finished and stable, and has very minimum dependencies [22:38] reduz: what's the license? [22:38] GPL v2 [22:39] reduz: Hi. There's feature freeze now for Hardy, so you have two options: a) Wait and get it into Intrepid, or b) Get a Feature Freeze exception for Hardy [22:39] I'll file a needs-packaging bug for it, then people can pick it up for intrepid [22:40] RainCT, I'm fine if it's up for intrepid, i really have no hurry myself [22:40] mok0, thanks!

[23:38] mok0, thanks for all the help [23:38] Legendario: np! [23:40] mok0, only one thing: what file should i patch? The makefile.in or makefile.am? [23:40] Legendario: Makefile.am [23:40] ok [23:40] Legendario: and then you need to re-run automake and autoconf [23:41] Legendario: It is questionable if it's the best solution [23:42] mok0, what? [23:43] Well, it's a lot to rebuild the autotools system just because of a missing mkdir statement [23:44] Legendario: send the patch upstream with greetings [23:44] Legendario: and create the directory in debian/rules. That [23:44] s [23:44] what I would do.... [23:45] j /#osx [23:45] hmmm [23:48] mok0, ok. that's what i am going to do either... [23:48] ;-) [23:49] Legendario: of two evils, choose the lesser :-)
