| * ajmitch wonders if he's seeing a cached page | 02:13 | |
| ScottK | nxvl: Would you please look at the tinyerp-server package in Debian and see if there is anything that could usefully be contributed from the changes we made in Hardy? | 02:13 |
| nxvl | ScottK: you mean to merge it? or to send our patches back to debian? | 02:17 |
| ScottK | Send our patches back to Debian. | 02:17 |
| nxvl | ok | 02:17 |
| nxvl | i will take a look | 02:17 |
| ScottK | I'd hope we could manage a sync in a but. | 02:17 |
| ScottK | THanks. They did some of the changes, but it's not clear from debian/changelog if they have them all or useful alternatives to the same problem. | 02:18 |
| jumpkick | allow me to ask a very stupid question | 02:18 |
| jumpkick | why is it that the AMD64 kernel in Hardy LTS ships with no sound drivers at all? | 02:18 |
| ScottK | !ask | jumpkick | 02:18 |
| ubottu | jumpkick: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 02:18 |
| ScottK | I going to guess that there's an error in your assumptions embedded in that question. | 02:19 |

| ajmitch | sure he does | 02:22 |
| nxvl | StevenK: i wasn't having any response | 02:22 |
| jumpkick | so I guess I should go and log a bug on launchpad then, eh | 02:23 |
| ScottK | jumpkick: Not right now. It's down. | 02:23 |
| bddebian | Heya gang | 02:23 |
| nxvl | StevenK: i don't even know how i type asdas if i lose conection | 02:23 |

| * ScottK reads http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2008-04/sunflash.20080430.1.xml and looks for the bit where it talks about "Our Debian packaging wasn't quite so great, but thanks to the volunteers that helped us out." | 02:32 | |

| RoAkSoAx | nxvl, so what should i do next. should i first report the bug en LP and then use the sync Script? | 02:43 |
| nxvl | RoAkSoAx: nop, the sync script on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess reports the bug | 02:44 |
| nxvl | RoAkSoAx: you just need to run the script, it will ask you all the information needed for the bug report | 02:44 |
| RoAkSoAx | nxvl, ok so it would be like this??: requestysync -s abuse-frabs_2.11-1 intrepid 2.10-7 | 02:44 |
| RoAkSoAx | or requestysync -s abuse-frabs_2.11-1 intrepid abuse-frabs_2.10-7 | 02:45 |

| TheMuso | nxvl: I guess you could, but then you would have to make sure they are not missed when things get going. | 02:50 |
| TheMuso | Because once its open, things will happen very quickly for a while. | 02:50 |
| nxvl | TheMuso: just as for hardy | 02:51 |

| ajmitch | I'm sure there are plenty of hardy bugs that can still be worked on :) | 02:51 |
| * ScottK went through and requested sync for all the packages he touched last than are, in fact, a sync now. | 02:52 | |
| ScottK | SRUs are a good thing to work on. Agreed. | 02:52 |
| * ajmitch hasn't touched any packages for so long that it's not an issue | 02:52 | |
| ScottK | Someone please go fix serpentine. | 02:52 |
| ajmitch | what's broken with it? | 02:52 |
| nxvl | ScottK: yes, but not for a begginer | 02:54 |
| ScottK | Lots of crash bugs annoying my inbox. | 02:54 |
| ScottK | nxvl: True. | 02:54 |
| * TheMuso would process SRUs now if it weren't for LP. | 02:54 | |
| nxvl | that's why i'm helping RoAkSoAx on merging and syncing while working on SRU and reporting back to debian | 02:55 |
| nxvl | :D | 02:55 |
| nxvl | and do some merge fun also | 02:55 |
| nxvl | :D | 02:55 |
| * TheMuso does a double take. I just got a build email from launchpad... | 02:55 | |

| RoAkSoAx | ScottK, nope :( | 02:56 |
| StevenK | TheMuso: Build failure, or build? | 02:56 |
| TheMuso | StevenK: build falure | 02:56 |
| TheMuso | failure | 02:56 |
| TheMuso | hppa packages in intrepid. | 02:56 |
| RoAkSoAx | but i could learn =) | 02:56 |
| StevenK | TheMuso: I've been getting a few, too. If they failed in hardy, the machinery creates new records for the new release. | 02:57 |
| nxvl | do we support hppa? | 02:59 |
| nxvl | not officialy, doesn't it? | 02:59 |
| StevenK | #define we? | 02:59 |

| StevenK | I'm guessing it's one of what has been set up before calling gtk_main(), but how to figure that out ... | 06:38 |
| RAOF | The backtrace presumably doesn't contain an obvious null pointer? | 06:38 |
| StevenK | The backtrace doesn't look very helpful at all | 06:39 |
| StevenK | Including this gem: Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC | 06:39 |
| RAOF | Yay memory corruption. | 06:40 |
| StevenK | Either that or stack smashing. Since the backtrace doesn't look like complete garbage, I'll go with memory corruption | 06:40 |
| RAOF | Actually, you could crash in gtk_main() in any number of ways, right? | 06:43 |

| uvok | hello | 12:44 |
| uvok | i made myself a local repositry (with dpkg-scanpackages) to install debs created out of self-compiled sourcecodes. But there's a little problem: synaptic wants to update some packages (those build with dpkg-buildpackage) again and again. (Packages built with checkinstall are not concerned) What can I do to avoid this? | 12:49 |
| * persia seeks comment/review for https://launchpad.net/~universe-contributors : Any suggestions on language changes or corrections to team name spelling appreciated. | 13:01 | |
| persia | uvok: Are you signing your packages? You may want to add your key to the trusted archive keys for your system. | 13:03 |
| persia | On the other hand, I remember others encountering this issue, and don't remember the specific solution. | 13:03 |
| wgrant | persia: Shouldn't it be ubuntu-? | 13:03 |
| persia | wgrant: Not according to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2008-April/003716.html (unless I'm reading it incorrectly) | 13:04 |
| james_w | uvok: it will do that if the package metadata doesn't match what you have installed, perhaps you need to run -scanpackages again. | 13:04 |
| uvok | persia: No, synaptic says they're not signed.... | 13:05 |
| uvok | james_w: I already ran it again, but it didn't help | 13:05 |
| persia | uvok: In that case, you may want to sign them. I seem to remember that trusted packages are preferred over untrusted packages, but I've not dug into the apt code at that level for a long time now. | 13:06 |
| elmargol | Someone knows if gtk has a horizontal separator wich supports fading to the side? like the google reader does? | 13:06 |
| elmargol | Hide a part, and if I click it shows it again | 13:07 |

| uvok | 0.1.10-4.uvok 0 | 13:07 |
| uvok | 500 file: ./ Packages | 13:07 |
| uvok | *** 0.1.10-4.uvok 0 | 13:07 |
| uvok | 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status | 13:07 |
| wgrant | persia: We really should keep to our proper namespace... | 13:07 |
| persia | wgrant: That makes sense. On the other hand, given the arguments about the name so far, I'm really not tempted to change it without some form of documented consensus. | 13:08 |
| uvok | the version number is the same.... but i will try signing the packages | 13:09 |
| james_w | wgrant: it would also directly clash with the old name for revu-uploaders then. | 13:10 |
| james_w | I would support renaming it in a few months, as I think keeping to ubuntu- would be a good thing. | 13:10 |
| persia | james_w: I'd actually be more against renaming it in a few months than I am now. Later, there will likely be members, who may have some identity associated with the name. | 13:12 |
| james_w | fair point. | 13:13 |
| progfou | uvok, the version is the same but the priority is different, and the current installed packages even has no corresponding source (only found in dpkg list), so it will try to install the one with higher priority (500) | 13:13 |
| uvok | progfou: so I should change the priority of the local rep? | 13:14 |
| progfou | uvok, you should read about APT priority management, it's in the "apt_preferences" man page | 13:15 |
| uvok | progfou: okay, thanks, i'll read it | 13:16 |
| mysterycool | Hello. | 13:16 |
| mysterycool | How can I get in the team of developing the actual OS of ubuntu? | 13:16 |
| mysterycool | I mean, the MOTU is mostly for packages, right? How can I get involved into the team which actually designs the OS? | 13:17 |
| === RzR is now known as rzr-may13-back | ||
| ScottK | jdong: The devscripts backport built, so it looks like the latest Launchpad upgrade removed the misfeature. | 13:20 |
| james_w | mysterycool: yes, MOTU is mostly about packages, but you can also help develop software. What do you mean by "designs the OS"? | 13:21 |
| ScottK | mysterycool: That depends a lot on what you mean by "OS" | 13:21 |
| mysterycool | well, Linux distros always use the linux kernel but like the development of how the ubuntu itself works. not the packages. | 13:22 |
| james_w | mysterycool: the packages are what makes up the OS, so they define how it works. | 13:22 |
| ScottK | Intrepid devscripts (where dch defaults to Intrepid) is available in hardy-backports | 13:22 |
| ScottK | mysterycool: It's packages all the way down. | 13:22 |
| mysterycool | exactly, but like, who set the gnome working for ubuntu? | 13:23 |
| mysterycool | i mean that stuff. | 13:23 |
| AnAnt | Hello, I got a problem with a java package | 13:23 |
| AnAnt | when I build it using pbuilder it behaves in different manner than when build using dpkg-buildpackage ! | 13:23 |
| ScottK | Parts of Gnome are in Main and parts are in Universe. MOTU works on the Universe part. | 13:23 |
| james_w | mysterycool: well, if you want to change the way gnome works then it is best to work upstream on gnome, but if you want to make it integrate better then changing the packages can do that. | 13:23 |
| ScottK | There is a desktop team that focuses on Gnome. | 13:24 |
| === LucidFox_Atlanti is now known as LucidFox | ||
| james_w | AnAnt: what's the difference? It's probably due to different build-dependencies being used. | 13:24 |
| mysterycool | hmm, k. scottk: whats the desktop team that focuses on Gnome and where can I contact them? | 13:25 |
| progfou | ScottK, does it mean Intrepid should be unfrozen soon in the PPA or is it unrelated (devscripts) | 13:25 |
| AnAnt | james_w: it has that search feature, when I use it , I get wierd looking ??? characters in search results | 13:25 |
| ScottK | progfou: Unrelated | 13:25 |
| james_w | mysterycool: ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com is their mailing list | 13:26 |
| ScottK | mysterycool: I suspect it would be #ubuntu-desktop, but I neither use nore develop for Gnome stuff so I've no actual knowledge on the matter. | 13:26 |
| james_w | AnAnt: is it using a different java runtime? Compare the dependencies of the built packages. | 13:26 |
| mysterycool | james_w: can i find info on them on the gnome website? | 13:26 |
| james_w | mysterycool: I don't think so, they're an Ubuntu group | 13:26 |
| AnAnt | james_w: ok | 13:27 |
| uvok | hmmm..... although the packages were signed, and i added my signing key to synaptic-preferences/authentification it still says that the packages are not authenticated... | 13:28 |
| progfou | uvok, there is two level of signatures => packages signature, for uploading validation and repository signature, for download validation | 13:30 |
| uvok | progfou: how can I sign the repositry? | 13:32 |
| progfou | uvok, you may want to check at my script here: http://apt.hanoilug.org/ubuntu/hanoilug.org-update+sign.sh | 13:32 |
| AnAnt | james_w: building using openjdk | 13:32 |
| AnAnt | james_w: I tried both openjdk & sun-java6 for runtime | 13:33 |
| progfou | it's probably not "The Right Way"™, but it's lighter than reprepro/dinstall and enough for our (HanoiLUG) needs now | 13:33 |

| progfou | uvok, or just activate and use your PPA on launchpad.net ;-) it's what I'm considering now, to help in letting some of our packages enter Universe | 13:38 |

| AnAnt | geser: they are supposed to be nothing ! ie. they are extra characters | 13:51 |
| uvok | progfou: Are the packages published then? I actually only want to have the packages for my own | 13:52 |
| geser | hmm | 13:53 |
| progfou | yep, they are published, and they needed to be under some Copyleft license too... | 13:53 |

| uvok | 'm not so sure if thats a solution for me.. | 13:56 |
| progfou | uvok, it's your decision :) | 13:59 |

| uvok | I'm not so sure if this applies to all the packages... | 14:51 |
| === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx | ||

| progfou | if you don't want something to be publicly accessible then just don't upload it in the PPA | 15:00 |
| progfou | and if you want a single solution for all your packages, public and privates one, just use reprepro instead ;-) | 15:00 |
| progfou | reprepro is not to hard to use but not that easy too, it will take you some time to put things correctly, how long depend on your current background knowledge about repository management... | 15:02 |
| persia | progfou: It's not only about the uploaders intent, but also about the licensing of any code that might be included in the package. Were it only that I would be fine with people redistributing stuff, there's lots of things I could upload to a PPA. | 15:28 |
| uvok | persia: my repo has no sub-direcories (like dist + pool). the debs are all in 1 dir. can I use reprepre anyway? | 15:29 |
| persia | uvok: No idea. I've never tried reprepro. | 15:29 |
| geser | uvok: iirc you just tell repropro that you want to include a specific deb and it will copy it to the correct location (and update all files) | 15:32 |
| uvok | I'm trying to read the manpage of reprepro... but yelp doesn't find it, although ther is a manpage (But I don't like reading mans in the terminal....) | 15:35 |
| ikonia | What part of the ubuntu package controlls the description of the package displayed by the package manager ? | 15:38 |

| ikonia | I thought it was read from the description field of the spec file | 15:39 |
| james_w | the control file, but yes. | 15:39 |
| === x-spec-t is now known as Spec | ||
| ikonia | ah, thank you | 15:40 |
| Riddell | any motu about for a quick test? | 15:49 |
| uvok | persia: Okay, reprepro seems to work... but theres another problem: the packages produces with checkinstall have an empty depends field, and apt-get update complains about it.... | 15:54 |
| uvok | Is there a way to remove the empty "depends" lines? | 16:02 |
| progfou | uvok, you may use dh_make (in the "dh-make" package) instead of checkinstall | 16:07 |
| progfou | it's a bit more lowlevel, but... you have more control over things | 16:07 |
| uvok | progfou: I would like to. But it fails with some programs where checkinstall works.... | 16:08 |
| uvok | This is going to be more difficult than i thought....# | 16:08 |
| progfou | I would say dh_make itself can't fail doing its job, but it's true that you have to do your part with this one | 16:10 |
| progfou | uvok, did you see the Packaging Guide? it contains a lot of usefull information about how to do it "The Right Way"™ => https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/ | 16:12 |
| uvok | thanks, i'll have a look at it | 16:12 |
| uvok | the exact error message is: | 16:14 |
| uvok | E: Problem parsing dependency Depends | 16:14 |
| uvok | E: Error occurred while processing deluge-torrent (NewVersion1) | 16:14 |

| uvok | E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. | 16:14 |
| uvok | it seems I have to edit the package-file manually.... | 16:16 |
| uvok | I already found out that I can put the file into sed and let remove all Lines including depends.... but there are also lines *with* depends removed... | 16:17 |
| === kitterma is now known as ScottK2 | ||
| progfou | uvok, then just use a more precise sed line, like this one: sed -i '/^Depends:[[:space:]]*$/d' control | 16:26 |

| uvok | progfou: thanks, I'll try out this | 16:28 |
| uvok | I think it's best if I write a script that executes all these commands.... | 16:28 |
| uvok | I can't remember them all | 16:28 |
| uvok | progfou: the '-i' tells sed to write the changes into the file, so that I don't have to do a redirect with '>', is that right? | 16:33 |
| progfou | right | 16:36 |
| progfou | (sorry if I'm lagging: I'm attending the Mark Shuttleworth Q&A in #ubuntu-classroom) | 16:36 |
| uvok | Okay, I think this script whould work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9231/ (gzip without -i removes the uncompressed Package file....) | 16:46 |
| progfou | uvok, your script is correcting the Packages file only, so the problem will still remain at the source (the control file in the .deb package) | 16:52 |
| progfou | in fact I would rather say that it's a checkinstall problem that should probably be reported as a bug and corrected in definitivelly in checkinstall instead | 16:53 |
| uvok | progfou: Dpkg doesn't complain about that afaik.... | 16:53 |
| uvok | in fact, i have no idea how i could change the control-file when the package is created with checkinstall | 16:53 |
| progfou | in the meantime you may want to hack the .deb manually using dpkg-deb -x & -e then -b (check man page) | 16:54 |
| uvok | the only problem left is the signing. the wrong Key is chosen for signing although GPGKEY ist set... | 17:02 |

| progfou | uvok, did you put your gpg id in the SignWith: field? (in the "conf/distributions" file) | 17:16 |
| uvok | not yet | 17:16 |
| uvok | Bad passphrase <-- it doesnt even want to know the password | 17:18 |
| uvok | do i have to insert SignPassword or something similar | 17:20 |
| progfou | uvok, note that you'd better use a dedicated gpg key for your repository, not your personnal one | 17:20 |
| uvok | why not? | 17:21 |
| progfou | look at what do others like Debian or Ubuntu, they all have an "archive" gpg key | 17:21 |
| progfou | first because it doesn't identify yourself but some automatic processing | 17:21 |
| uvok | the repo is only for my local pc, not for the whole world :-) | 17:21 |
| progfou | secondly because you'll have to use a key without password or put the password somewhere, so if you use your personnal key and it got stollen that thief may do things identified as done by yourself | 17:22 |
| progfou | oh?! only for local PC?? then in this case why the hell are you bothering with all that? :) | 17:23 |
| progfou | just use a deb file:///path/to/your/debfiles/ in your sources.list | 17:23 |
| uvok | progfou: because synaptic wanted to update the same packages again and again. now this problem was solved | 17:25 |

| ubottu | uvok: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:38 |

| uvok | it worked so fine dor a while.... | 17:42 |
| uvok | I really ask myself why that doesnt'k work suddenly | 17:51 |

| uvok | progfou: no, from the same to the same version ;-) I had libdvdnav4 version 0.1.10 in my repo and synaptic always wanted to update it again and again | 18:08 |

| Kopfgeldjaeger | to be sure: the last debian entry of $OLD_UBUNTU_CHANGELOG is from version 1.0. then there are the ubuntu changes to 1.1 and 1.2 and so on. is it ok to copy the ubuntu entries after 1.0 after the 1.0 debian-entry in $NEW_CHANGELOG? because then there is ubuntu-version 1.2 before debian version 1.1. | 20:16 |
