X3Nquick question: are there more packages for 32bit than 64bit ?00:04
FujitsuX3N: Not by any significant margin.00:05
X3N:)00:05
X3Nthanks00:05

* Fujitsu is reminded of Dust Puppy.00:11
blueyedwhat's the bash equivalent of realname to get the full path of a file?00:13
blueyed2. there is no /etc/X11/xorg.d or similar, is there? For packages to add conf settings.00:14
LaserJockdo we have anybody running MOTU School?00:15
james_wLaserJock: hi00:17
LaserJockjames_w: ah, I wondered if it was you00:17
LaserJockI was gonna dig through emails00:17
james_wLaserJock: what are you after?00:18
LaserJockjames_w: you wanna be MOTU School Coordinator?00:18
james_wI'm a but stuck for what to do this month.00:18
james_wLaserJock: what does that mean?00:18
LaserJockthe person to contact for ideas and who sets up the sessions00:18
LaserJockbasically what you've been doing00:19
james_wI thought I already was :)00:19
LaserJockwell, more official like00:19
LaserJockI'm making a list, checking it twice00:19
LaserJockseeing who's been naughty or nice00:19
james_wI know it's been far from official, and I've only been doing it for a couple of months so no-one knows if I'm serious and whether I plan to stick around.00:20
james_wI've definitely been somewhere between naughty and nice, so do I get on your list?00:20
LaserJockyep00:20
james_wgreat, I'd be happy to be listed.00:20
cody-somervilleDo I make this list? :)00:21
LaserJockyou might, ya never know00:21
james_wand if anyone wants to help me with this month's that would be great ;-)00:21
james_wwhat's the most critical thing for release at this point?00:22
james_wgetting patches in? fixing FTBFS?00:22
cody-somervilleI notice there are a ton of merges on merges.ubuntu.com for universe00:23
cody-somervilleWhere the ubuntu delta is just a rebuild00:23
LaserJockFTBFS is pretty big I think00:23
LaserJockmaking sure anything we're in the middle of gets done00:23
LaserJocklike the gfortran transition going on right now00:23
LaserJockcody-somerville: those are better handled in Intrepid I think00:24
* Fujitsu notes that an archive rebuild will finish in less than an hour.00:24
cody-somervilleLaserJock, but the debian stuff usually has good stuff00:24
LaserJockcody-somerville: I thought you were saying the ubuntu delta was just a rebuild00:24
james_wI'd be happy to run a FTBFS session, only I don't even know where the FTBFS list is :)00:25
LaserJockyou mean that there's new stuff we should be syncing?00:25
james_wcody-somerville: you don't mean a -build1?00:25
cody-somervillejames_w, Yes, I do00:25
cody-somervilleLaserJock, The ubuntu delta is just a rebuild00:25
FujitsuWhy did the archive have to freeze right before we do a lot of uploads for the gfortran transition?00:25
james_wcody-somerville: ah, ok. Does that need a session, it's just a sync isn't it?00:26
cody-somervilleRight00:26
cody-somervilleI filed several sync requests today00:26
cody-somervilleBut there are still more that should be synced00:26
LaserJockis MoM still running?00:26
cody-somervilleI think so, yes.00:26
james_wLaserJock: last I looked, yes00:27
LaserJockthat's where the "RC bugs fixed in Debian but not in Ubuntu" list is good00:27
LaserJockwe need to be able to prioritize which stuff to grab00:27
james_wthat's a list worth looking at.00:27
* cody-somerville nods.00:27
cody-somervillebut qa.ubuntuwire.com is down :(00:27
FujitsuLaserJock, cody-somerville: I don't believe that was ever being updated for Hardy, anyway.00:29
cody-somervilleFujitsu, It had good enough regardless00:30
james_wso it's the list of out of date packages in Ubuntu where the debian uploads since the last included version fixed an RC bug?00:31
FujitsuIndeed. We really need to track down imbrandon.00:31
Fujitsujames_w: That's correct.00:32
sistpotynixternal: please ping an archive admin, once the new package has been uploaded (bug #196123)00:32
ubotuLaunchpad bug 196123 in ubuntu "[FFe] keurocalc port to kde4" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19612300:32
FujitsuUnfortunately, it relies on someone rsyncing from the BTS, which means it needs a DD.00:32
james_wis the SOAP or ldap interface not good enough? Or is the problem DOSing the BTS?00:32
FujitsuI believe it needs to check every bug, so it'd be a fairly effective DoS.00:33
LaserJocksuperm1: ping00:34
james_wfair enough.00:34
LaserJockI think ajmitch actually downloaded a local copy of bts or something to do it00:34

bddebianUhm, that would be the anti-thesis of my experiences :-)01:13
ScottK2It's in the Debian social contract, so it must be true?01:14

IulianDktrKranz: Thanks for uploading nxtvepg.10:06
IulianHello btw :)10:06
vik_3278Hello, I have a quick question on naming conventions for back-ports.10:12
Hobbseejdong: ^10:12
Hobbseevik_3278: would help if you say your question10:13
vik_3278I'm trying to backport  libestools1.2_1.2.96~beta from Hardy to Gutsy10:13
DktrKranzIulian, hey. Thank *you*10:13
vik_3278Hobbsee: yeah I already posted on jdong's thread, but I thought I'd do a little bit of digging myself :)10:14
vik_3278sorry the package is called libestools1.2_1.2.96~beta-210:14
vik_3278if I'm not mistaken, I should name it something like libestools1.2_1.2.96~beta-2~7.10backport110:15
vik_3278or atleast that's what jdong's prevu utility does10:15
vik_3278but apt doesn't seem to like the 2 ~'s in the name10:16
DktrKranzhellboy195, !10:16
vik_3278So my question is, what is the correct way to name this package?10:16
jpatrickvik_3278: ~gutsy110:17
hellboy195DktrKranz: sry?10:17
vik_3278drop the ~beta-2 all together?10:17
DktrKranzhellboy195, hi :P10:17
hellboy195xD xD xD10:17
hellboy195DktrKranz: good morning10:17
hellboy195persia: around?10:18
hellboy195Damn. We are in betafreeze and they now release audacious 1.5 -.-10:22
vik_3278jpatrick: Ok since it's going to be a local package, I can name it simply ~gutsy1, but does that mean that any packages with "~something" already is potentially not backportable without breaking the name?10:24
jpatrickvik_3278: I don't see why apt wouldn't like two "~"s in the version, we use it all the time for KDE4 packages10:25
vik_3278jpatrick:hmm is that right? My problem might be elsewhere then...10:26
jpatrickvik_3278: all KDE4 packages are ~gutsy1~ppa1 when backported10:26
vik_3278jpatrick: Interesting. So it should work huh...10:27
vik_3278jpatrick:actually the problem is when I try to install a backported version of festival which depends on this.10:28
affluxbetafreeze affects only main, is that correct?10:29
vik_3278jpatrick: apt-get install tells me "festival: Depends: libestools1.2 (>= 1:1.2.96~beta-2) but 1:1.2.96~beta-2~7.10prevu1 is to be installed" despite the debian/control file saying "libestools1.2-dev (>= 1:1.2.96~beta-2~7.10prevu1)"10:29
=== Nightrose2 is now known as Nightrose
Hobbseevik_3278: you need to fix the festival, then10:37
Hobbseevik_3278: ~ means "less than"10:37
vik_3278Hobbsee: That's what I thought I did: debian/control10:40
vik_3278Build-Depends: [...] libestools1.2-dev (>= 1:1.2.96~beta-2~7.10prevu1) [...]10:40

jdongScottK2: ^^ :-/. And I haven't done any work on Audacious so I don't have any useful comments for that16:57
ScottK2jdong: OK.  Thanks.16:57
ScottK2jdong: Looks like rosegarden was some kind of subtle pbuilder problem.  When I use --debug on the pbuilder it finds libjack-dev.17:47

jdongScottK2: wine builds fine from hardy without source changes... now excuse me as I use this as a reason to play starcraft for 4 hours18:30
jdongbecause.... you know... WINE regressions don't immediately show up.... ;-)18:30

ScottK2jdong: You going to file the backports bug and ask the archive then?18:31

RainCTHi bmk789_19:35
RainCTbmk789_: why do you think that you need one?19:35
bmk789_id really like to get into packaging and patching and stuff so i could contribute to development19:36
bmk789_ive read the wiki pages and stuff but think having a mentor to explain the process would make it understandable19:37
bmk789_RainCT: ^19:44
RainCTbmk789_: okay, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Mentoring then19:45

RotundAny chance of getting a new community package into hardy still?20:11
hellboy195Rotund: hardly. Is it *very* important`20:11
hellboy195?20:11
RotundUpdating OpenAL... the one there is awful20:12
Rotundhardly used by anything actually.20:12
hellboy195Rotund: you can try but I don't think it will get into hardy20:13
siretartRotund: openal is hardy used by anything? huh?20:13
rexbronRotund: It is unlikely that a library update will occur this late in the cycle (espically before a beta freeze) unless is fixes a critical bug20:13
siretartRotund: there are quite some packages using openal. I'm not even sure we should switch to openal soft for lenny20:14
rexbronThat would require a rebuild of all packages that depend on it20:14
Rotundthat was the suggestion20:14
Rotund(going to openal soft)20:14
RotundPerhaps I'll just set up a PPA w/ it.20:15
Rotundsiretart, is there already a PPA for OpenAL Soft20:16
siretartRotund: oh, there is? where?20:17
siretartRotund: perhaps you could reupload all reverse deps there?20:17
ScottK2nxvl: I uploaded tinyerp-server after some additional changes.  Once it's published, please have a look and see if you have questions about the changes.20:19
Rotundsiretart, I was asking if there WAS one.  You sounded like you knew what I was talking about and had looked into it.20:19
Rotundsiretart, I'll just make a new one.20:19
enarxe0nxvl:  estas?20:20
siretartRotund: oh, no. not that I knew of.20:20
siretartRotund: I just happen to know the issue with openal soft because I did the last uploads of it to debian20:21
siretartAFAIUI, openal soft drops some optional extensions that the openal si provided.20:21
siretartso I'd expect to break on games like scorched3d, etc.20:22
Adri2000ScottK2: I think there is a bug in wx2.6's debian/rules. the target which creates debian/control from debian/control.in doesn't work. that's probably why you/mok0 only modified debian/control and didn't realize there was a control.in20:22
RotundI'll check, but they claim it's just the Loki ones.20:23
Rotundsiretart, All the Loki games included their own OpenAL anyways.20:23
ScottK2Adri2000: You want to fix it up.  Also it needs the python versions set to 2.4- in debian control (mok has a patch for that in the xml removal bug)20:25
Adri2000ScottK2: oh, and you uploaded wx2.8 also. I had a patch for bug #193340 to apply to it20:26

ScottK2Adri2000: I wish you'd said something.20:27
ScottK2I'll ask to have it rejected and we can do it again.20:27
ScottK2Actually we don't need it rejected, it'll just get over-written.20:28
ScottK2Adri2000: make a debdiff to mok0's version and attach it to your bug.20:28
Adri2000ScottK2: still it'd be good to have it rejected, as I'd like some testing of the patch for #193340, it'll probably not be ready to upload right now20:29
hellboy195RainCT: around?20:30
ScottK2Adri2000: It won't hurt if it's uploaded.  We can do another one later.20:30
ScottK2No rush.20:30
RainCThellboy195: yeh20:30
hellboy195RainCT: thx for looking at my stuff. for ckermit I'm not sure if a merge is now worth it ,..20:31
RainCThellboy195: bug number please20:32
siretartRotund: that's nice and dandy for loki, but we *do* ship software that uses the system openal20:32
Adri2000ScottK2: I'd like not to have to do another upload to fix the previous. so being sure the patch (that I honestly don't understand) fixes the issue and doesn't cause any regression is a good idea imho20:32

ScottK2Adri2000: The upload I did is just for python-xml removal.  Are you saying there's a problem with that?20:33
Adri2000ScottK2: except for that one you also only modified debian/control, no. but to not waste buildd time, it'd be better to have only one upload for python-xml and my patch20:34

RainCThellboy195: true, I don't think those changes are necessary for Hardy20:35
Rotundsiretart, I know, but I'd doubt ANY uses the crappy Loki extensions (they really were bad)20:35
Adri2000ScottK2: so can I ask to reject this one? and I'll include the python-xml fix in my upload20:36
ScottK2I asked.20:36
hellboy195RainCT: Setting to "Invalid" ?20:36
ScottK2No need for you to.20:36

ScottK2K20:40
Adri2000ScottK2: in the bug report you say to build-dep on python (>= 2.4). does XS-Python-Version: >= 2.4 actually do that? or are both needed?20:44
ScottK2Adri2000: Both can't hurt.  XB-Python-Version should be sufficient for the binary since any 2.4 will do.20:47
ScottK2I don't actually remember what that will do for the build-deps.20:47
ScottK2It might be interesting to set XS-Python-Version: >= 2.6 on a package and see if it builds20:47

slicerI have a postinst script which needs to reload the dbus configuration. I currently do this as "invoke-rc.d --quiet dbus reload". However, if dbus is not present, this fails with exit code 100, which breaks the script (it's 'set -e'). What's the recommended way to query if dbus is installed? Just [ -f /etc/init.d/dbus ] ?22:46
=== Flare183 is now known as Flare
=== Flare is now known as Flare183
ScottK2slicer: What happens then if dbus is installed, but not running?22:50
slicerScottK2: That works fine, the dbus init script handles 'reload' in the right way.22:51
ScottK2OK22:51
slicerScottK2: The problem comes when it's not installed at all.22:51
slicerI see there's now a bug report for this as well: bug 20267222:52
ubotuLaunchpad bug 202672 in mumble "installing mumble-server requires dbus" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20267222:52
ScottK2That's a pretty amazing coincidence that coming in right while you were working on it.22:56
slicerScottK2: No, they were talking to me on IRC :)22:56
ScottK2Can you confirm what they guy says in the bug about it still working without dbus.22:56
ScottK2OK.  That makes more sense22:56
slicerIt works, it will just have reduced functionality.22:58
ScottK2[ -f /etc/init.d/dbus ] isn't the most reliable way to tell you if it's installed, but it is a good way to tell you if the init is present (which is what you really want to know).22:58
slicerKind of like xmms without mp3 and ogg support.22:58
slicerScottK2: Ok, I'll try that then and have the user test it.22:59
