| LaserJock | ScottK2: seriously dude, I find git a lot more user friendly :/ | 00:05 |
| ScottK2 | Heh. | 00:07 |
| ScottK2 | svn does the job for me. It's shortcomings don't really impact on the work I do. | 00:07 |
| LaserJock | well, that's what I was using, but no longer have that option | 00:07 |
| LaserJock | must conform to the bzr world order ;-) | 00:08 |
| ScottK2 | Bah. I have yet to run into it outside Ubuntu. | 00:09 |
| LaserJock | ScottK2: emacs :-) | 00:11 |
| LaserJock | the only thing I've used outside of Ubuntu is CVS and SVN | 00:12 |
| LaserJock | although I use git-{cvs,svn} and bzr-svn to get practice | 00:12 |
| Fujitsu | ScottK2: 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 |
| Fujitsu | Any chance of a FFe? | 00:15 |
| Fujitsu | Or shall I try to find the patches that they can't be bothered releasing? | 00:15 |
| emgent | Fujitsu: +1 | 00:15 |

| Riddell | LaserJock: yes | 00:28 |
| LaserJock | I'm sorry for you | 00:29 |
| LaserJock | ;-) | 00:29 |
| Riddell | LaserJock: so it's just a binary blob? | 00:29 |
| LaserJock | Riddell: yes, I believe so | 00:30 |
| Riddell | LaserJock: belive so? didn't you package it? | 00:30 |
| LaserJock | yes | 00:30 |
| LaserJock | but with smalltalk I have a hard time distinguishing binary from source | 00:30 |
| LaserJock | it has to be run with the VM | 00:31 |
| Riddell | multiverse it is then | 00:31 |
| LaserJock | so I guess it'd be like a .jar file in Java perhaps | 00:31 |
| LaserJock | oh yes | 00:31 |

| Fujitsu | superm1: Why on earth does vlc download its own copies of the faad and x264 source packages? That sounds very very wrong. | 00:51 |
| superm1 | Fujitsu, it did that before I came into the picture | 00:51 |
| superm1 | i just wrote a nice rule for it | 00:52 |
| Fujitsu | I was wondering if you knew the reason. | 00:52 |
| superm1 | crimsun should | 00:52 |
| Fujitsu | crimsun: Why does vlc need its own copies of the faad and x264 source packages? | 00:52 |
| Riddell | protonchris: ok | 00:52 |
| Fujitsu | superm1: Thanks. | 00:52 |
| superm1 | Fujitsu, i'll be interested to find out too once it's sorted out | 00:53 |
| Fujitsu | superm1: Feel like updating it to 0.8.6e? You know it better than I, though I can probably work it out. | 01:01 |
| superm1 | Fujitsu, doesn't it need an FFe for that? | 01:01 |
| Fujitsu | It fixes 6 CVEs, and ScottK has already said he's probably OK with it. | 01:01 |
| Fujitsu | Seems to be bugfixes mostly. | 01:01 |
| superm1 | well i'll do the packaging if you do the documentation necessary for it :) | 01:02 |
| Fujitsu | That's what I was planning. | 01:02 |
| Fujitsu | Thanks. | 01:02 |
| protonchris | Riddell: thanks. | 01:03 |
| emgent | cool | 01:03 |
| Amaranth | so what do you guys think about removing xserver-xgl? | 01:05 |
| superm1 | +4^10 | 01:05 |
| superm1 | Amaranth, ^ | 01:05 |
| Fujitsu | Isn't Xgl still useful for some cards? | 01:05 |
| Amaranth | no, not really | 01:06 |
| Amaranth | fglrx and nvidia both support running compiz without it | 01:06 |
| Fujitsu | Ah, right, fglrx does Composite now. Forgot that. | 01:06 |
| Amaranth | and nothing else has the horsepower and/or driver features to run Xgl | 01:06 |
| Amaranth | and xgl is effectively unmaintained both upstream and in ubuntu | 01:07 |
| Fujitsu | Kill kill kill! | 01:07 |
| Fujitsu | superm1: 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 |
| superm1 | Fujitsu, sure | 01:11 |
| superm1 | how'd this : | 01:12 |
| superm1 | vlc (0.8.6.release.e+x264svn20071224+faad2.6.1-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low | 01:12 |
| Fujitsu | That'd be nice, but is unfortunately long... maybe just +ubuntu1? Ideally we wouldn't need it in the first place :( | 01:14 |
| superm1 | well doing it this way w/ a long string would make it easy to know what version though. | 01:14 |
| superm1 | and until this x264/faad inclusion stuff is sorted | 01:14 |
| Fujitsu | I 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 |
| superm1 | well i'll leave it with the whole thing for now. it will give visibility that this static linking business needs resolution anyhow | 01:17 |
| Fujitsu | Thinking about it again, horrific version numbers are a good incentive to fix it! | 01:17 |
| superm1 | :) | 01:17 |
| Fujitsu | I 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 |
| superm1 | haha | 01:19 |
| superm1 | that's crazy | 01:19 |
| mdomsch | superm1, ubuntu can carry US-patent-encumbered stuff like x264? | 01:29 |
| mdomsch | must be nice being incorporated in the Isle of Man | 01:29 |
| superm1 | mdomsch, i'm not sure the history of what happened on the VLC package | 01:30 |
| Fujitsu | superm1: Hm, I've just noticed bug #204050. | 01:30 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 204050 in vlc "[FFe] PulseAudio output plugin support" [Unknown,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/204050 | 01:30 |
| superm1 | how it came to be included directly in it like this | 01:30 |
| Fujitsu | superm1: I've just noticed that vlc pulls multiverse sources. | 01:30 |
| Fujitsu | And vlc is in universe. | 01:30 |
| Fujitsu | This is what we call a Big Problem. | 01:30 |
| superm1 | so it needs to be downgraded to multiverse | 01:30 |
| superm1 | we'll ask an archive admin to do that with this upload | 01:30 |
| Fujitsu | Preferably in all releases, but that's not going to happen. | 01:31 |
| Fujitsu | This is why we don't commit evils like pulling x264 sources in. | 01:31 |
| superm1 | well hopefully there is a good reason why it has to be done this way | 01:31 |
| superm1 | like i said, i just wrote a pretty rule to make it easier to do :) | 01:31 |
| Fujitsu | I know. | 01:31 |
| superm1 | Fujitsu, i'll cancel my test build and add that patch too | 01:32 |
| Fujitsu | superm1: Great. | 01:32 |
| superm1 | look 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 |
| Fujitsu | Mhm. | 01:33 |
| Fujitsu | I got mplayer to build again in Hardy. | 01:33 |
| superm1 | it broke? | 01:36 |
| Fujitsu | It did. | 01:36 |
| Fujitsu | It 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 |
| Fujitsu | But the reason for its FTBFS was due to some CFLAGS changes, I believe. | 01:37 |
| Fujitsu | s/because/because you/ | 01:37 |
| superm1 | some changes I made to CFLAGS? | 01:39 |
| Fujitsu | Not yours, no. | 01:39 |
| superm1 | i was gonna say, i dont remember touching them | 01:39 |
| Fujitsu | You added the build-dependency on libsvga1-dev. | 01:40 |
| superm1 | oh. | 01:40 |
| superm1 | yeah i remember doing that a long time ago | 01:40 |
| emgent | night people | 01:41 |

| * jdong contemplates ubuntu'ing this eeepc | 02:55 | |
| jdong | the stock xandros works so decently I don't feel like changing it | 02:56 |
| ScottK | The last Xandros machine I used was shipped configured to automatically keep old conffiles without bothering the user. | 03:07 |
| ScottK | Not a hallmark of thoughtful design IMO. | 03:08 |
| jdong | ScottK: oh don't get me wrong, Xandros is hacked Debian beyond belief | 03:08 |
| jdong | ScottK: but as a tuxtype/supertux/firefox/mplayer machine for my little sister, it'll do just fine | 03:09 |
| jdong | I 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 |
| ScottK | The 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 |
| superm1 | ScottK, 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 time | 03:10 |
| jdong | ScottK: Asus and the EEE community has to cover xandros's behind on that. | 03:11 |
| ScottK | As long as you're going to fix it, it's probably OK superm1, but I haven't looked yet. | 03:11 |
| superm1 | ScottK, let me give you some bug numbers. sec | 03:11 |
| ScottK | superm1: I'm going to bed soon. | 03:12 |
| superm1 | oh okay | 03:12 |
| superm1 | no worries | 03:12 |
| jdong | ScottK: 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 |
| ScottK | jdong: Makes sense. Please comment in the relevant bug if you haven't. | 03:21 |
| Fujitsu | ScottK: Universe security support is virtually non-existent, too. | 03:23 |
| ScottK | Fujitsu: I wouldn't go that far. Even in Universe we do way better than IME Xandros did. | 03:25 |
| Fujitsu | And for hardy we should do very well indeed. | 03:25 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: Xandros still doesn't have distribution patches for the Samba root exploit | 03:26 |
| Fujitsu | jdong: Hahaha. | 03:26 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: that's how bad it is. | 03:26 |
| * Fujitsu tries to get Xen working on Hardy. | 03:27 | |
| jdong | Fujitsu: Asus has updates in their eeepc repo for it, a month late. | 03:27 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: meanwhile the eee user community provided 0-day updated debs | 03:27 |
| Fujitsu | Lovely. | 03:27 |
| jdong | no kidding | 03:27 |
| Fujitsu | Does the EeePC have an obvious updating feature? | 03:27 |
| jdong | so... I'd personally trust Ubuntu support :) | 03:27 |
| * ScottK wonders about 'security' fixes provided by the kindness of stranders. | 03:27 | |
| jdong | Fujitsu: not particularly..... | 03:28 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: the update tool is labeled "add/remove software" | 03:28 |
| ScottK | stranders/strangers | 03:28 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: and it only shows updates to select apps shown on the simple launcher. | 03:28 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: interestingly the critical Samba update was not shown | 03:28 |
| jdong | Fujitsu: it was synaptic/apt-get that revealed it :) | 03:28 |
| txwikinger | Fujitsu: How do I patch a package that is included in form of a tar.gz? | 03:39 |
| ScottK | txwikinger: Tarball inside a Tarball? | 03:42 |
| txwikinger | yes ScottK | 03:42 |
| txwikinger | the inside tarball needs a patch | 03:42 |
| ScottK | Painfully. | 03:42 |
| txwikinger | Should really be fixed upstream .. I know | 03:42 |
| ScottK | I gave it up as not worth the trouble the one time I've run into it. | 03:42 |
| ScottK | Maybe Fujitsu will have a useful suggestion. | 03:43 |
| skwashd | hi all | 03:43 |
| txwikinger | It is a build-error so would be nice to be fixed | 03:43 |
| skwashd | how do i relate a bug report to motu-release? | 03:43 |
| ScottK | subscribe them | 03:44 |
| jdong | txwikinger: probably the patch target should depend on the rule that extracts the inner tarball | 03:44 |
| jdong | txwikinger: see firefox-3.0's build system | 03:44 |
| skwashd | schweeb: motu-release@ubuntu.com ? | 03:44 |
| txwikinger | jdong: thanks I will have a look | 03:45 |
| jdong | of course as a SRU this is all a pain in the *** and you should just find a sack of bricks to hit the packager with :D | 03:45 |
| skwashd | s/schweeb/ScottK | 03:45 |
| skwashd | damn auto complete | 03:45 |
| jdong | skwashd: oh I've done worse, I've tab-completed the punchline to an offense joke to a freenode staffer before :) | 03:45 |
| jdong | oops. | 03:46 |
| skwashd | jdong: when i am trying to offend people i make sure i have the right person :) | 03:46 |
| skwashd | i think i have done it right now ... well i hope anyway | 03:48 |
| skwashd | i think canonical could make more money offering LP training than ubuntu support | 03:49 |
| skwashd | maybe that is their long term plan | 03:49 |
| Fujitsu | txwikinger: You'll need to somehow patch it after the build extracts it. I don't know of any packages that do it, but there are a number. | 03:53 |
| Fujitsu | I'd look, but I'm a bit busy trying to get kernel oopses over netconsole. | 03:54 |

| superm1 | rather unfortunate that's the way it is too | 06:45 |
| Fujitsu | Indeed. | 06:46 |
| RAOF | I 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 |

| \sh | Fujitsu: I would say no..but it's just me...not a motu-release dude | 09:51 |
| Fujitsu | It's part of Nagios 2.11, which has a security fix and several other bugfixes. | 09:51 |
| \sh | well, I would say, that when notifications were not there , and they were added, then it's a new feature...but changing notificiations to show non-ascii chars...is not a new feature, more a fix for an annoying bug ;) | 09:52 |

| Fujitsu | mok0: Can you see the difference in the configure.log? | 11:52 |
| * mok0 thinks | 11:52 | |
| mok0 | Fujitsu: Just to recap: I gave up on your suggestion of installing the older petsc version in my SID builder, because it gave a whole cascade of required packages. | 11:53 |
| ScottK | Fujitsu: Re Nagios I wouldn't call that a feature. | 11:54 |
| Fujitsu | Lovely. | 11:54 |
| mok0 | Fujitsu: I am now trying to build the newest SID version of petsc, but even that is giving me troubles | 11:54 |
| Fujitsu | ScottK: That seemed to be the general opinion. I filed a sync request some time ago. | 11:54 |

| ScottK | SPE (Stani's Python Editor) had a new release yesterday which is in Debian and I've got a sync request in for (bugfix release). | 11:56 |
| ScottK | Today there's a new bug filed in Ubuntu against spe that says, oh BTW, I'm using the svn version. | 11:56 |

| Hobbsee | Fujitsu: of course, fi the turn out to be crack, then you will get yelled at, but... | 11:57 |
| ScottK | So do I mark it invalid because they aren't using the Ubuntu package or leave it since the svn version he's using is probably the same as what'll be in Hardy. | 11:57 |

| ScottK2 | mok0: 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 |
| mok0 | ScottK2: ok | 12:42 |
| ScottK2 | mok0: You have to look at the build log and see why the package died. About half these died for other reasons. | 12:42 |

| ScottK2 | mok0: 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 |
| ScottK2 | mok0: It's actually a reinstatement of an old requirement. | 12:54 |
| * ScottK2 had to go to the CC to get member status before I could apply to MOTU. | 12:54 | |

| mok0 | Fujitsu: illumators build system is inconsistent in the way it understands the variable PETSC_DIR | 13:07 |
| Fujitsu | mok0: Oh goody. | 13:07 |
| mok0 | Fujitsu: first it uses it to find a program called petscarch, where the variable needs to be set to "/usr" | 13:08 |
| Fujitsu | mok0: I'll be off to bed shortly; there's a security team meeting in a bit under 6 hours. | 13:08 |
| mok0 | Fujitsu: another place it needs to be /usr/lib/petscdir/2.3.3 | 13:08 |
| mok0 | Fujitsu: 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 hardy | 13:09 |
| mok0 | Fujitsu: Probably some stupid little thing | 13:10 |
| mok0 | Fujitsu: are you still here? | 13:20 |
| mok0 | Fujitsu: one problem is that /usr/lib/libmpi.so -> /etc/alternatives/libmpi.so -> /usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libmpi.so, which does not exist | 13:21 |
| ScottK2 | mok0: Do you build-dep on libopenmpi-dev? | 13:23 |
| mok0 | ScottK2: yes | 13:24 |
| ScottK2 | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libmpi.so&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any | 13:24 |
| ScottK2 | claims that package provides that file. | 13:24 |
| mok0 | Scott, yes, but the alternative links to lbimpi.so.0 which is not there | 13:32 |
| mok0 | ScottK: the alternate link is wrong, it should point to libmpi.so instead | 13:33 |
| ScottK2 | I see. | 13:33 |
| mok0 | ScottK2: I don't know if that has happened on my local machine only when setting up the alternates | 13:33 |
| mok0 | ScottK2: ... and I haven't grokked the alternate system yet | 13:34 |
| ScottK2 | I 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 |
| mok0 | ScottK2: but is there a utility to manipulate them? | 13:35 |
| mok0 | ah, update-alternatives | 13:35 |
| ScottK2 | Yes. | 13:36 |
| mok0 | Arrrrghh a cascading bug... | 13:39 |
| ScottK2 | mok0: The good news is that you're finding the real root cause and dealing with it and not just papering over it. | 13:40 |
| mok0 | ScottK: I guess... | 13:41 |
| ScottK2 | I reasonable fraction of the Main uploads I've done since I got core-dev have been unpapering over and fixing problems, so I may be a bit sensitive on the matter. | 13:42 |

| cody-somerville | \sh, The testing department is also lacking | 14:53 |
| ScottK | mok0: 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 |
| \sh | cody-somerville: so...you will discuss this in todays meeting, right? I hope to get home early so I can attend the meeting...let's see what I can do :) | 14:55 |

| cody-somerville | \sh, There are three main objectives to the meeting: | 14:56 |
| ScottK | sistpoty|work: I get in trouble because I think it's declining. IMO It peaked just before they cut over to the beta U/I. | 14:56 |
| mok0 | Gotta run, see you guys later... | 14:56 |
| cody-somerville | 1) Discuss and find consensus for an Xubuntu mission statement | 14:56 |
| broonie | tbf: Oops, sorry - I was saying 'tbf' as sort for to be fair rather than trying to address you. | 14:56 |
| cody-somerville | 2) Determine the core objectives of Xubuntu | 14:56 |
| ScottK | sistpoty|work: Apparently because I can't see the inherent superiority of CSS over tables, I don't understand. | 14:56 |
| ScottK | sistpoty|work: So apparently in the Launchpad world things that are invisible to the user define the quality of the user interface. | 14:57 |
| cody-somerville | 3) and create a strategy for achieving those goals | 14:57 |
| cody-somerville | \sh, I'm hoping at the end of the meeting, myself and the other key contributors will have something concrete to show to the world. | 14:57 |

| jdong | wow this is the morning for learning things the hard way | 15:44 |
| jdong | (1) Fn-F2 does literally what one'd expect it to do in the Eeepc | 15:44 |
| jdong | when "toggling" the wifi, the BIOS actually detaches it from the PCI bus. | 15:44 |

| jdong | so mad that it decided to tell me about it enough times to overflow /var | 15:45 |
| rockstar_ | I went to the class meeting yesterday and learned about fixing FTBFS packages. I'm looking at one right now that has an error that "<dependency package> (still installed)" Does that mean the package needs to be removed from its dependencies? | 15:48 |
| sebner | sistpoty|work: what do you think about http://incoming.debian.org/audacious_1.5.0-2_i386.changes ? | 15:55 |

| sistpoty|work | sebner: yes, we should bring this in. is your sync request still open? | 15:58 |
| sebner | sistpoty|work: not synced yet, yes. Just change it + leave a message? | 15:58 |
| sistpoty|work | sebner: yes, update version and such (and set it to incomplete, until audacious source landed in unstable, should happen somewhen tonight iirc) | 15:59 |
| sebner | sistpoty|work: great. :) | 15:59 |
| persia | rockstar_: Best to find out why openjade was added to build-conflicts, and what is providing openjade now. It may no longer be needed, or there may be something more subtly wrong with the dependency tree. | 16:03 |
| rockstar_ | persia, yea, that's what I figured. I just wanted to make sure before I went ahead with research. | 16:04 |

| JediMaster | geser / mok0: don't suppose there's any docs anywhere about signing repositories? | 21:49 |
| mok0 | JediMaster: like geser said, you sign the repository files Packages and Release (AFAIR) | 21:50 |
| mok0 | JediMaster: with a detached signature, which is put in Release.gpg | 21:50 |
| geser | JediMaster: you need a Release and Release.gpg and apt knowing the key you signed the archive with | 21:50 |
| JediMaster | ok, will try that, don't think I've got a Release file at all yet, will create that now, thanks guys | 21:51 |
