LaserJockScottK2: seriously dude, I find git a lot more user friendly :/00:05
ScottK2Heh.00:07
ScottK2svn does the job for me.  It's shortcomings don't really impact on the work I do.00:07
LaserJockwell, that's what I was using, but no longer have that option00:07
LaserJockmust conform to the bzr world order ;-)00:08
ScottK2Bah.  I have yet to run into it outside Ubuntu.00:09
LaserJockScottK2: emacs :-)00:11
LaserJockthe only thing I've used outside of Ubuntu is CVS and SVN00:12
LaserJockalthough I use git-{cvs,svn} and bzr-svn to get practice00:12
FujitsuScottK2: I'd like to see vlc 0.8.6e in Hardy, as the diffs between releases are somewhat massive, there are lots of security issues, and backporting patches is painful due to the code changes. This release appears to be mostly bugfixes (it fixes at least 6 security issues), but the diff is... very very large.00:15
FujitsuAny chance of a FFe?00:15
FujitsuOr shall I try to find the patches that they can't be bothered releasing?00:15

Fujitsusuperm1: Why on earth does vlc download its own copies of the faad and x264 source packages? That sounds very very wrong.00:51
superm1Fujitsu, it did that before I came into the picture00:51
superm1i just wrote a nice rule for it00:52

Fujitsusuperm1: Feel like updating it to 0.8.6e? You know it better than I, though I can probably work it out.01:01
superm1Fujitsu, doesn't it need an FFe for that?01:01
FujitsuIt fixes 6 CVEs, and ScottK has already said he's probably OK with it.01:01
FujitsuSeems to be bugfixes mostly.01:01
superm1well i'll do the packaging if you do the documentation necessary for it :)01:02

Amaranthso what do you guys think about removing xserver-xgl?01:05
superm1+4^1001:05
superm1Amaranth, ^01:05
FujitsuIsn't Xgl still useful for some cards?01:05
Amaranthno, not really01:06
Amaranthfglrx and nvidia both support running compiz without it01:06
FujitsuAh, right, fglrx does Composite now. Forgot that.01:06
Amaranthand nothing else has the horsepower and/or driver features to run Xgl01:06
Amaranthand xgl is effectively unmaintained both upstream and in ubuntu01:07
FujitsuKill kill kill!01:07
Fujitsusuperm1: Can you also give the upstream version some extra bit that indicates it's modified? It had me very confused for a while, as diffstat showed hundreds of thousands of lines vanishing silently.01:10
Fujitsu.release. isn't particularly indicative of changes.01:11
superm1Fujitsu, sure01:11
superm1how'd this :01:12
superm1vlc (0.8.6.release.e+x264svn20071224+faad2.6.1-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low01:12
FujitsuThat'd be nice, but is unfortunately long... maybe just +ubuntu1? Ideally we wouldn't need it in the first place :(01:14
superm1well doing it this way w/ a long string would make it easy to know what version though.01:14
superm1and until this x264/faad inclusion stuff is sorted01:14
FujitsuI guess so. It'd be even better to have the full Ubuntu version string in there, but that won't work, and would be inconvenient for security updates (there always are a lot).01:15
superm1well i'll leave it with the whole thing for now.  it will give visibility that this static linking business needs resolution anyhow01:17
FujitsuThinking about it again, horrific version numbers are a good incentive to fix it!01:17
superm1:)01:17
FujitsuI don't think it's as bad as Dapper mplayer's 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8.2. That's got three upstream versions of the same project, plus an epoch.01:18
superm1haha01:19
superm1that's crazy01:19
mdomschsuperm1, ubuntu can carry US-patent-encumbered stuff like x264?01:29
mdomschmust be nice being incorporated in the Isle of Man01:29
superm1mdomsch, i'm not sure the history of what happened on the VLC package01:30
Fujitsusuperm1: Hm, I've just noticed bug #204050.01:30
ubotuLaunchpad bug 204050 in vlc "[FFe] PulseAudio output plugin support" [Unknown,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20405001:30
superm1how it came to be included directly in it like this01:30
Fujitsusuperm1: I've just noticed that vlc pulls multiverse sources.01:30
FujitsuAnd vlc is in universe.01:30
FujitsuThis is what we call a Big Problem.01:30
superm1so it needs to be downgraded to multiverse01:30
superm1we'll ask an archive admin to do that with this upload01:30
FujitsuPreferably in all releases, but that's not going to happen.01:31
FujitsuThis is why we don't commit evils like pulling x264 sources in.01:31
superm1well hopefully there is a good reason why it has to be done this way01:31
superm1like i said, i just wrote a pretty rule to make it easier to do :)01:31
FujitsuI know.01:31
superm1Fujitsu, i'll cancel my test build and add that patch too01:32
Fujitsusuperm1: Great.01:32
superm1look what you convinced me into working on.  this is how mplayer started out too some time back.  one patch here, one there, next thing i know, i'm investing a few hours into debugging a build :)01:32
FujitsuMhm.01:33
FujitsuI got mplayer to build again in Hardy.01:33
superm1it broke?01:36
FujitsuIt did.01:36
FujitsuIt even builds on all archs, which it hasn't before in Hardy.01:36
Fujitsu(it only built on i386 and amd64 because added libsvga1-dev to the build-depends, when it only exists on x86 archs)01:37
FujitsuBut the reason for its FTBFS was due to some CFLAGS changes, I believe.01:37
Fujitsus/because/because you/01:37
superm1some changes I made to CFLAGS?01:39
FujitsuNot yours, no.01:39
superm1i was gonna say, i dont remember touching them01:39

* jdong contemplates ubuntu'ing this eeepc02:55
jdongthe stock xandros works so decently I don't feel like changing it02:56
ScottKThe last Xandros machine I used was shipped configured to automatically keep old conffiles without bothering the user.03:07
ScottKNot a hallmark of thoughtful design IMO.03:08
jdongScottK: oh don't get me wrong, Xandros is hacked Debian beyond belief03:08
jdongScottK: but as a tuxtype/supertux/firefox/mplayer machine for my little sister, it'll do just fine03:09
jdongI don't feel like spending 2 hrs getting Ubuntu up on it, then having to be the source of support when things start breaking a few weeks later :)03:09
ScottKThe other bit I'll point out is that now that I see how many security updates Ubuntu pumps out, I'd have to classify Xandros security support (this was Xandros 3) as virtually non-existent.  Dunno if it's better now.03:10
superm1ScottK, would you care to comment on the pulse audio FFe for VLC.  I'm planning on rolling it up with the FFe for the newer version at the same time03:10
jdongScottK: Asus and the EEE community has to cover xandros's behind on that.03:11
ScottKAs long as you're going to fix it, it's probably OK superm1, but I haven't looked yet.03:11
superm1ScottK, let me give you some bug numbers.  sec03:11
ScottKsuperm1: I'm going to bed soon.03:12
superm1oh okay03:12
superm1no worries03:12
jdongScottK: yeah just throwing in my 2c the pulseaudio patch for vlc looks okay, though I insisted they get a FFe because technically it is a feature addition.03:19
ScottKjdong: Makes sense.  Please comment in the relevant bug if you haven't.03:21
FujitsuScottK: Universe security support is virtually non-existent, too.03:23
ScottKFujitsu: I wouldn't go that far.  Even in Universe we do way better than IME Xandros did.03:25
FujitsuAnd for hardy we should do very well indeed.03:25
jdongFujitsu: Xandros still doesn't have distribution patches for the Samba root exploit03:26
Fujitsujdong: Hahaha.03:26
jdongFujitsu: that's how bad it is.03:26
* Fujitsu tries to get Xen working on Hardy.03:27
jdongFujitsu: Asus has updates in their eeepc repo for it, a month late.03:27
jdongFujitsu: meanwhile the eee user community provided 0-day updated debs03:27
FujitsuLovely.03:27
jdongno kidding03:27
FujitsuDoes the EeePC have an obvious updating feature?03:27
jdongso... I'd personally trust Ubuntu support :)03:27
* ScottK wonders about 'security' fixes provided by the kindness of stranders.03:27
jdongFujitsu: not particularly.....03:28
jdongFujitsu: the update tool is labeled "add/remove software"03:28
ScottKstranders/strangers03:28
jdongFujitsu: and it only shows updates to select apps shown on the simple launcher.03:28
jdongFujitsu: interestingly the critical Samba update was not shown03:28
jdongFujitsu: it was synaptic/apt-get that revealed it :)03:28

superm1rather unfortunate that's the way it is too06:45

RAOFI don't see such problems with Totem, Rhythmbox, Banshee, etc.  Is gstreamer better written, or do all these problems merely appear further down the stack, in gst?06:48

mok0ScottK: The idea is that packages should use python-central instead of python-support, is that right?12:40
ScottK2mok0: No.  The idea is that some packages that use python-central hard coded stuff into debian/rules that now breaks the packages since python-central changed.12:42
mok0ScottK2: ok12:42
ScottK2mok0: You have to look at the build log and see why the package died.  About half these died for other reasons.12:42

ScottK2mok0: Well the key point is that the MOTU Council also gets the ability to make people a member, so you don't get caught in the general backlog.12:54
ScottK2mok0: It's actually a reinstatement of an old requirement.12:54

mok0Fujitsu: illumators build system is inconsistent in the way it understands the variable PETSC_DIR13:07
Fujitsumok0: Oh goody.13:07
mok0Fujitsu: first it uses it to find a program called petscarch, where the variable needs to be set to "/usr"13:08
Fujitsumok0: I'll be off to bed shortly; there's a security team meeting in a bit under 6 hours.13:08
mok0Fujitsu: another place it needs to be /usr/lib/petscdir/2.3.313:08
mok0Fujitsu: Ok, I'll struggle with this stuff. I am annoyed that I can't figure out why the package builds on SID but not on hardy13:09
mok0Fujitsu: Probably some stupid little thing13:10
mok0Fujitsu: are you still here?13:20
mok0Fujitsu: one problem is that /usr/lib/libmpi.so -> /etc/alternatives/libmpi.so ->  /usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libmpi.so, which does not exist13:21
ScottK2mok0: Do you build-dep on libopenmpi-dev?13:23
mok0ScottK2: yes13:24
ScottK2http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libmpi.so&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any13:24
ScottK2claims that package provides that file.13:24
mok0Scott, yes, but the alternative links to lbimpi.so.0 which is not there13:32
mok0ScottK: the alternate link is wrong, it should point to libmpi.so instead13:33
ScottK2I see.13:33
mok0ScottK2: I don't know if that has happened on my local machine only when setting up the alternates13:33
mok0ScottK2: ... and I haven't grokked the alternate system yet13:34
ScottK2I guess have a look at the package and see.  It's a bit complex to write debian/rules for alternatives, but I think they are reasonable clear to read.13:34
mok0ScottK2: but is there a utility to manipulate them?13:35
mok0ah, update-alternatives13:35
ScottK2Yes.13:36
mok0Arrrrghh a cascading bug...13:39
ScottK2mok0: The good news is that you're finding the real root cause and dealing with it and not just papering over it.13:40
mok0ScottK: I guess...13:41

cody-somerville\sh, Well, packaging isn't too bad because mr_pouit has continued to be committed to helping with the xfce4 related packages and gauvain helps out here and there too14:52

ScottKsoren: Actually looking on edge, it's made it's way back on.  https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix14:53
cody-somerville\sh, The testing department is also lacking14:53
ScottKmok0: I'm not the right person to talk to.  It's been explained to me by senior launchpad developers that because I do not agree that the current user interface is better than the old (pre-beta) interface my opinions on Launchpad are not credible.14:54
cody-somerville\sh, and I think you can also deduct that I intend to give Xubuntu more structure then my predecessors have. So advice, tips, and ideas on how to turb-charge Xubuntu and the Xubuntu community would be greatly appreciated.14:54

broonietbf: Oops, sorry - I was saying 'tbf' as sort for to be fair rather than trying to address you.14:56
cody-somerville2) Determine the core objectives of Xubuntu14:56
ScottKsistpoty|work: Apparently because I can't see the inherent superiority of CSS over tables, I don't understand.14:56
ScottKsistpoty|work: So apparently in the Launchpad world things that are invisible to the user define the quality of the user interface.14:57
cody-somerville3) and create a strategy for achieving those goals14:57

geserLaney: what do you want to know about NEW?19:16
LaneyWell I've seen people talking about it a few times, and a sync request I'm interested in has "(NEW)" next to it on Launchpad. I was just wondering what that means as I guess that's what's holding it back from the mirrors.19:17

JediMasterHey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm building some packages for a mysql utility I'm writing that I would like to eventually get into ubuntu, but I'm testing it at the moment. I've got the package and installer working fine, but I'm having trouble finding any info at all about signing the package so that I don't keep getting warnings about the package not being authenticated when atp-get install/updating21:41
geserJediMaster: it's not the signing of the package but the signing of your repository21:48
mok0JediMaster: you need to have a gpg key21:48
\shblueyed: ah so I need also a laptop...well..this will be a problem :)21:48

=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
JediMasterahh, that makes sense, it's been a long time since I've touched GPG =)21:48
blueyed\sh_away: well, no.. I only wanted to confirm that it's broken for "ide", too.21:49
JediMastergeser / mok0: don't suppose there's any docs anywhere about signing repositories?21:49
mok0JediMaster: like geser said, you sign the repository files Packages and Release (AFAIR)21:50
mok0JediMaster: with a detached signature, which is put in Release.gpg21:50
geserJediMaster: you need a Release and Release.gpg and apt knowing the key you signed the archive with21:50
JediMasterok, will try that, don't think I've got a Release file at all yet, will create that now, thanks guys21:51
JediMasternext silly question =): Is there a utility to update the Release file with all the MD5 sums?21:56
