jdongany ~motu-release online?02:06
TheMusojdong: Yes.02:07
jdongTheMuso: ok, let's talk sshmenu :)02:07
jdongTheMuso: I've been e-mailing back and forth with the author, and he says the package we have in Hardy is a snapshot from Debian at an unstable moment in time02:07
TheMusojdong: Go on.02:07
jdongTheMuso: the Debian package has been since repackaged to split between sshmenu and sshmenu-gnome02:08
jdongTheMuso: which means an update to this package would result in the GNOME menu disappearing unless the user installs the 2nd package02:08
jdongTheMuso: the author either wants (1) a sync from Debian (2) archive removal02:08
TheMusojdong: Yes...02:08
jdongTheMuso: #2 is less risky but #1 seems like it's more attractive02:08
jdonglooking for input on the best approach02:09
TheMusojdong: How many bugs filed against the package currently?02:09
jdongTheMuso: just one02:10
jdongTheMuso: and an answer tracker question from the author for said action02:10
jdongTheMuso: note the sync from debian happened in November02:10
TheMusojdong: Ok, so this would be a new upstream release as well?02:11
jdongTheMuso: right, 3.14-1 -> 3.15-102:11
TheMusoSo it would need 2 acks in any case.02:11
jdongI guess so :)02:11
TheMusoAd the package in its current form is not stable...02:11
jdongcorrect02:11
jdongit's deprecated packaging that will cause undesirable side effects with any update.02:12
jdongwe either handle it now before hardy comes out for hear complaints for intrepid02:12
TheMusoI'd say file a FFe/sync request, attach the necessary bits, and I'll have a look and then its up to another motu-release person to give it the ok.02:12
jdongTheMuso: ok will do02:12

protonchrisTheMuso: thanks02:16
DarkMageZis there a process for having a package removed from ubuntu? and if so, where can i find the appropriate documentation of it?02:19
jdongTheMuso: what are the info I need? I'm guessing diffstat, pbuilder log, upstream changelog diff?02:20
TheMusojdong: Diffstat is not needed, changelog would be the most helpful thing, a build/install logs are also useful.02:21

elmargoldpkg-shlibdeps: failure: no dependency information found for /usr/lib/libmicrohttpd.so.4 (used by debian/gnunet-server/usr/lib/GNUnet/libgnunetmodule_hostlist.so). <- any ideas how I fix this?07:38
\shmoins07:46
elmargolhi \sh maybe you know dpkg-shlibdeps?07:47
\shelmargol, hmm?07:48
RAOFelmargol: It's probably looking for the shlibs file that libmicrohttpd should be shipped with.  Where is that lib coming from?07:48
elmargolRAOF, you mean I probably packaged libmicrohttpd wrong?07:49
RAOFOh, you packaged that lib?  Yeah, dpkg really wants you to make a shlibs file for it :)07:49
elmargolah ok07:49
elmargolthx!07:49
RAOFYou've seen the Debian library packaging guide?07:49
elmargolI just compiled a new version of the lib07:50
awmcclainHi all! I've i'm creating new ubnuntu packages for a small-medium group of people (possibly distributing through launchpad PPA), how should I deal with signing? Should I sign the package or not?07:50
awmcclains/I've/If07:50
RAOFawmcclain: You can't.07:51
elmargolawmcclain, you have to mirror the repository and sign it07:51
awmcclainRAOF: Well, that does it, then. :)07:51
elmargolyou can not directly sign the ppa07:52
awmcclainelmargol: I'm talking about signing the package when building it with dpkg-buildpackage.07:52
awmcclainAh. Actually, I'm just talking about the .dsc and .changes files. Does that not matter?07:53
elmargolYou can not upload unsigned files to the ppa07:53
awmcclainelmargol: Even if I own the project? Maybe I'm confused with the way repository hosting works on launchpad07:55
elmargolawmcclain, the signature is your "password"07:55
RAOFawmcclain: You upload a gpg-signed changes file, specifying the dsc, .diff.gz and orig.tar.gz (if needed).  LP then builds that source package, producing some (unsigned) binary packages.07:56
awmcclainROAF: Ahhh. Ok. I see! Thank you.07:56
RAOFYou can't have the PPA sign those packages, since then launchpad would need to have your private GPG key, thus making that key worthless.07:58
elmargolCan I compile a package using pbuilder and give me a shell after this?08:00
RAOFYes, kinda.08:03
RAOFYou can login to your pbuilder environment, do the build in there, and then you've got a shell :)08:04

james_wcoolbhavi: the diff can represent neither the symlink you added nor the changes you made to the binary .chr files09:26
james_wif you have to make these changes in the diff then you need to find another method, e.g. uuencode09:27

james_wwhat you can do is download and unpack the old version of the package, and download the new version of the tarball, and then run uupdate in the unpacked old package, passing it the path of the new tarball09:35

persiapochu: Hmm..  I'm not sure I'm up for a full explanation now, but by way of example, I am proud to be MOTU, and enjoy referring to MOTU as "Masters", but when I present myself in an official context related to Ubuntu, I tend to use the description "Ubuntu Developer" or "Developer".15:08

norsettosebner: goodie goodie20:04
sebnernorsetto: And I really worked hard to make a nice looking debdiff so be nice :P20:05
norsettosebner: I'm always nice :-)20:06
sebner^^20:06
sebnertrue20:06
sebnernorsetto: are smilies allowed in the changelog? ^^20:08
norsettosebner: good question, I never seen one myself, but if you have a reason I see no harm done20:10
sebnernorsetto: I want to thank you with a nice looking smilie ^^20:10
norsettosebner: no need then, just write "bugger norsetto" ;-)20:11
sebner^^20:11
sebnernorsetto: but I'm afraid that I br0ke the debdiff xD And I replaced my conky folder with the original one to test but it's failing xD20:11
norsettosebner: what is it that broke?20:13
sebnernorsetto: a wired thing. The line " New upstream release from 1.5.1"20:13
norsettosebner: sorry, I don't get what you mean20:15
sebnernorsetto: nvm. I'll test something20:16
sebnernorsetto: fixed it ^^. I edited the debdiff manually and forgot to change the line numbers (what indicate what was chaned)20:17
sebner*changed20:18
sebnerand where20:18
norsettosebner: hmmm, editing a diff might not be easy, sometime is better to redo it from scratch20:19
sebnernorsetto: well, true but from mistakes we learn :)20:20
yoschhi MOTUs, anybody willing to help me fix #180011 by granting an exception for http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?package=ttf-ubuntu-title20:21

sebnernorsetto: debdiff uploaded. I subscribed motu-release though *you* are a member of this team ^^ mind taking a look?20:23
norsettosebner: I will20:23
yoschthe finalfreeze email said "ask on irc", I talked with seb128 and he told me to ask one of you20:23
sebnernorsetto: How often did I thank you in the last days? ^^ Once again. Thanks :)20:24
norsettosebner: too many ;-)20:24
sebnernorsetto: well, you deserve it :D but if it annoys you ..20:24
yoschRainCT: what's the process I should follow now?20:28
RainCTyosch: subscribe motu-release to the bug report or ask someone of the motu-release team20:29
yoschRainCT: OK, motu-release subscribed. Now how do I do the asking?20:32
yoschsimply via IRC?20:33
RainCTyosch: yes, ping one of those https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release/+members or just wait for one of them to commment on the bug report20:34
yoschRainCT: motu-release or ubuntu-release?20:34
sebneryosch: is it in main or universe?20:35
yoschsebner: universe20:35
sebneryosch: ubuntu-release for main, motu-release for universe20:35

yoschRainCT: alright got it. Thanks.20:35
sebnerRainCT: möhh ^^20:36
jdongholy crap the lzmafication of my backups takes a long time :(20:36
norsettosebner: I would delete the last remark in debian/changelog, thats normal procedure20:57
sebnernorsetto: ^^ k though I love to do it. Scott already gave a motu-release ack so you may want to upload it? Should I make a new debdiff you would you remove the *note ?20:58
norsettosebner: scott acked from a motu-release pov, you still need sponsoring, thats why I'm telling you20:59
sebnernorsetto: citat "You may want to upload it"20:59
norsettosebner: ok, I will rework the changelog but note that I'm still getting a warning21:00
sebnernorsetto: wired. Let me check it again21:00
norsettosebner: Conky: use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none.  'yes' seems to be some form of 'true', so defaulting to right.21:01
sebnernorsetto: That's another mistake. I think I should patch the whole conky.conf21:02
norsettosebner: note that we have use_spacer no in conky.conf ....21:02
sebnernorsetto: a wait. I patched it to "none"21:02
norsettosebner: are you sure that by patching the data/conky.conf you are actually patching the one installed in /etc/conky/conky.conf?21:03
sebnernorsetto: I installed the patched version and it patched my /etc/conky/conky.conf as well21:04
sebnernorsetto: what are exactly the steps to reproduce it?21:08
norsettosebner: well, the file in /etc/conky/conky.conf is different from data/conky.conf (which is installed in /usr/data/doc/conky/examples)21:08
norsettosebner: we should check the upstream Makefile to see how this is installed21:09
sebnernorsetto: but it got patched too /here O_o21:09
blueyedWhat status should bugs for ~motu-release have? Or aren't they ACKed, as long as motu-release is subscribed?21:09
blueyedbtw: I'd like to have an ACK for bug 217072 :)21:09
ubotuLaunchpad bug 217072 in popfile "Popfile is missing IMAP support contrary to description." [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21707221:09
sebnernorsetto: SUBDIRs: data .. wth?21:11
sebnernorsetto: it's really strange. So what do you do "exactly" whichs causes the warning?21:13
geserblueyed: I might be not uptodate on current processes but shouldn't bugs presented to ~motu-release be set to new and once ACKed by ~motu-release set by them to confirmed?21:13
blueyedgeser: I would have thought so, too, but the queue looks different.21:13
geserblueyed: you could try to ask norsetto (or any other from ~motu-release)21:15
norsettosebner: ok, got it21:16
norsettosebner:  it is considered (correctly) as a conf file, so its not replaced on upgrade21:17
blueyednorsetto: is there any special use of "Status" in the ~motu-release queue?21:17
cgilloglycan anyone help me backport pidgin form hardy to gusty...i'm trying to do my own backport since there nothing in the official repo yet21:17
norsettoblueyed: yes, new for non-acked requests and confirmed once accepted21:17
blueyednorsetto: ok. thanks.21:18
cgilloglyi've tried using prevu and it's having some dependency issues and i'm not very familiar with doing backports or building packages in general21:18
blueyednorsetto: which may be confusing btw, because it falls on the radar of triagers again then.21:20
norsettoblueyed: this is the precedure we have been using for as long as I can remember, triagers should be informed accordingly21:22
sebnernorsetto: Ah. I once reintalled conky. Maybe the next version I installed was already patched ... So debdiff is ok?21:23
blueyednorsetto: well, it's OK for me.. just a note.. triagers will see what's going on when looking at the bug, but might pick it by accident before.21:23
norsettosebner: yes, but I don't like this, we will keep the conf file forever, unless we purge21:24
norsettoblueyed: don't worry, we have a lonbg pointy stick21:24
sebnernorsetto: what other possibilities do we have? Since release is comming nearer and nearer21:24
norsettosebner: either using conffiles or maintainer scripts to manage installations/removals21:29
sebnernorsetto: since I have no knowledge about it and stress at school the next days we may have a problem21:29
norsettosebner: this should anyhow be done in concert with Kapil, best would be to send him an email telling him about the problem21:30
sebnernorsetto: yeah. but you know 10 days left21:31
norsettosebner: that will be for intrepid21:32
sebnernorsetto: ahh21:32
sebnernorsetto: ok then ^^21:32

yoschnorsetto: do you have a minute to look at an exception request?21:47
norsettoyosh: let me finish the one I'm currently looking at, you are the next I believe21:47
norsettoyosch: let me finish the one I'm currently looking at, you are the next I believe21:48
yoschnorsetto: yep, no problem. thanks.21:48
norsettoyesch: you should at least provide the info in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess, note that the package in hardy right now is 0.2-0ubuntu1 while yours is 002.000-0ubuntu121:56
norsettoyosch: is the only change the addition of the SFD sources?21:58
norsettoyosch: you should at least provide the info in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess, note that the package in hardy right now is 0.2-0ubuntu1 while yours is 002.000-0ubuntu121:58
yoschnorsetto: it's a new upstream, what extra info should I add?21:58
norsettoyosh: then you need to change version accordingly21:59
norsettoyosch: then you need to change version accordingly21:59
* norsetto will type yosch name correctly once (hopefully)21:59
norsettoyosh: see the link for the info required22:00
* norsetto fails yet again22:00
norsettoyosch: see the link for the info required22:00
sebnernorsetto: conky already uploaded?22:01
yoschnorsetto: I'm looking at the page22:01
norsettosebner: yep22:01
sebnernorsetto: great. :)22:02
norsettoyosch: did you base your package on the current hardy one? In the changelog there is no mention of it22:02
pochunorsetto: have you tried 'yos<tab>' ? ;)22:04
norsettopocu: no (hehehe22:04
pochuheh22:04
yoschnorsetto: it's a new release: the bug was that the source file was not available, the designer Canonical commissioned send the source file, I fixed the metadata and the readme according to the release decision from sabdfl, and made a new release from the tip of the branches hosted on LP: https://launchpad.net/ubuntutitle22:04
norsettoyosch: right, so it seems that there is a divergence from your branch and the archive22:05
yoschso we're going one step back then I'll work (within the fonts team) on merging the various community branches, also synced on the LP project22:05
yoschnorsetto: divergence? the diff with the current hardy package is rather larger yes. Or you mean something else?22:07
norsettoyosch: even a byte diff is a divergence to me22:08
yoschsure22:09
yoschnow the LP project is the new upstream, and Canonical has clarified source availability, licensing and trademark issues, that's why we need the fixed package22:11
yoschwhat extra info do we need for the exception? I can attach the big diff to the bug.22:12
norsettoyosch: ok, but I think you should still base it on the hardy version or we have a problem with the consistency of the archive22:12
yoschBTW I had an ack in principle from cjwatson (whom I've been in contact with via email about this) earlier in #ubuntu-devel. He just had to focus on other bugs.22:13
yoschSorry I don't see what you mean. it's a new upstream.22:14
yoschnorsetto: sorry what do you mean when you say "base it on the hardy version"?22:18
norsettoyosch: base your package on the one we have in the repo, at least the changelog needs to have it in the history22:19
norsettoyosch: and debian copyright shall reflect the current upstream22:20
yoschit's a replacement package: new upstream location, new content, new structure. It made sense to not put changelog entries from before the bug was fixed.22:21
RainCTyosch: the old debian/changelog is still necessary if the package has the same name22:21
norsettoyosch: of course it does, unless you change the package name22:21
yoschright, a changelog entry then22:23
yoschwhat's the trouble with the debian/copyright?22:23
yoschit does reflect upstream22:24
norsettoyosch: you said the new upstream is the LP project22:24
yoschyou want a "it was downloaded from?"22:26
ajmitchyay, I actually have icons on the desktop & a desktop background now22:26
* ajmitch had a not-quite-smooth upgrade to hardy :)22:27
yoschthe copyright and license fields are there and there's a Homepage in debian/control . also the Vcs-* fields22:27
norsettoyosch: who is the copyright owner ?22:27
yoschcopyright owner is Canonical22:28
norsettoyosch: so why is canonical not upstream?22:28
yoschI had discussion with sabdfl on hosting this on LP for the LoCos to branch it22:28
yoschthe name of the designer commissioned by Canonical before it got hosted on LP is still there. I see no reason to drop it!22:30
yoschbut I can add a it was downloaded from ... if you want22:30
norsettoyosch: no, of course not, but you should add the current one22:30
yoschnorsetto: OK got it.22:31
yoschI'll add the needed changes22:31
norsettoyosch: ok, don't forget to set the status to new once finished or it may not be checked by a motu-release member22:33
yoschnorsetto: ok willdo. Thanks for the feedback.22:34
norsettoyosch: np22:34
