ograsimply by restarting all the dowwnloads and deleting everything before00:00
ion_You should have uninstalled the RIAA plugin.00:00
ograi cant belive we ship that00:00
ion_(That was a (poor attempt at) a joke.)00:00
* jdong looks00:00
jdongogra: what did you click to cause that to happen?00:01
ograso i have a ton of torrents that already were downloaded startig to DL again and wiping my folders00:01
jdong(not trying to imply PEBKAC, just trying to understand what happened)00:01
ograjdong, i added another torrent without wiping the list *indisde* of transmission (the .torrent files were long gone)00:01
jdongogra: oh did that other torrent contain same files or something?00:02
ograjdong, well, might be PEBKAC that i didnt wipe the list in tranmission00:02
ogranope00:02
ograthat one was a short movie00:02
jdongogra: that's weird00:02
ograi simply didnt use trasmission since the last DLs00:02
* jdong hasn't seen that happen yet00:02
jdongand I've used transmission pretty regularly.00:02
jdonghmm...00:02
jdongif you can reproduce the workflow that causes this to happen, that'd be awesome00:03
jdongit sounds like a pretty nasty bug00:03
ograyup00:03
ogra'm quite shocked00:03
jdongor "usability unfeature"00:03
wgrantI've never seen it delete anything.00:03
ograheh00:03
Nafallogod thing you have backup :-)00:03
Nafallogood even00:03
jdonghardlinks, man. hardlinks.00:03
ograNafallo, i copied them all to my server00:03
jdongthey sound sexy and prevent bad things from happening :)00:03
ograbut the actual dirs were emptied00:04
JohnPhysI haven't seen it delete anything either, though I've never gone through those steps.00:04
jdongogra: so you simply added a torrent and data disappeared?00:04
ograwell, step 1 download someting to your desktop ... step 2 dont touch transmission for two or three weeks after DL has finished ... step 3 delete the .torrent files step 4 DL a new torrent, notice that transmission has all the old ones listed, note it starts over with the old ones as well, find the dire empty just being refilled with some kb00:06
ogra*dirs00:06
ograits no harm. i copied all the old stuff, but its still quite weird00:07
jdongogra: odd... I swear I do that all the time and don't witness data loss00:07
ogrado the torrents get listed in tranmission after they finished for you ?00:07
Nafallothat sounds like logic :-)00:07
jdongyes00:08
wgrantogra: You sure you haven't previously removed those folders?00:08
ograyes00:08
jdongok I've attempted to reproduce it00:08
jdongminus step 2 of course00:08
jdongnothing seems to have happened00:08
ograheh00:08
Nafallono torrent files == empty torrent files == no files :-P00:08
ograNafallo, hmm00:08
jdongthis sounds like a REALLY nasty bug and I'm interested in finding it00:09
jdongperhaps talk to charles next time he appears00:09

jdongJohnPhys: I commented on the bug... the debdiff is only slightly incorrect for an update00:12

sorenAny particular reason why perl's priority was dropped to standard?08:25
sorenHmm... Maybe debconf's lack of Depends: perl is the actual culprit.08:30
pittihi soren08:33
pittisoren: btw, do you plan to merge dpkg again?08:33
sorenpitti: cjwatson's doing it this time.08:33
pittisoren: Guillem Jover offered to help with this08:33
pittisoren: ah, ok; just wanted to make sure you knew about Guillem's offer08:33
sorenOh, sure.08:34
sorenpitti: So... about perl. IIUIC, changing packages' priority is a manual process, correct?08:35
StevenKpitti: Stupid question, how do I list sessions for polkit?08:36
pittisoren: yes, I think so; but it has been standard in hardy already08:36
pittiStevenK: ck-list-sessions08:36
pittiStevenK: (it's ConsoleKit)08:36
sorenpitti: Hmm.. You're right. apt-cache show here shows it as important. That's odd.08:36
soren*08:37
soren*very* odd indeed.08:37
StevenKpitti: Oh, duh. That would explain why I couldn't find it. :-/08:38
sorenPerhaps the package itself says it's important, but it's overridden in the archive's Packages file..08:39
sorenNo, that says standard, too.08:39
sorenWhat on earth could make "apt-cache show perl" say "priority: important"?08:39
StevenKperl-base is Essential: yes, I didn't think perl was08:41
sorenThe problem is that debootstrapping Intrepid fails right now, because libc6's postinst ends up failing due to lack of Utils/Hash.pm.08:41
soren(it uses debconf)08:42
sorenOh!08:43
sorenperl-base contains fields.pm, which seems to need Utils::Hash.08:43
sorenand the latter is in perl-modules.08:43
pittithat's a bug in perl packaging itself then08:43
sorenIndeed.08:44
sorenman debootstrap08:44
sorendoh...08:44
StevenKpitti: I'm trying to determine why USB keys don't automount on UME -- can you just spit out a few hints for me to check?08:55
pittiStevenK: do you use nautilus on those beasts?08:56
pittiStevenK: in hardy, nautilus now does the automounting, not g-v-m any more08:56
StevenKpitti: Ahhhh. No nautilus.08:56
pittiStevenK: can you mount them manually? with gnome-mount?08:57
StevenKpitti: gnome-mount -m /dev/sdb doesn't mount it08:59
pittiStevenK: try gnome-mount -vbd /dev/sdb08:59
StevenKRight. -m is the wrong option.08:59
StevenKgnome-mount -d /dev/sdb does work09:00
pittiok, so it's really just the lack of an automounter09:00
StevenKpitti: So UME should use g-v-m?09:02
pittiStevenK: well, that's the problem; automounting was disabled in gvm, since it conflicts to nautlus09:03
pittiStevenK: I think you might want to take a look at ivman09:03
StevenKpitti: Ah, we could enable it specifically for lpia?09:03
pittiStevenK: either that, or you guys are happy with ivman; drops a few gnome dependencies, too09:04
loolpitti: MSG people moved back to gvm09:04
loolThey reenabled it09:04
loolAnd they fixed it for the new HAL :)09:04
pittiah, I see09:04
pittilool: how do you mean? current version should work fine with 0.5.11?09:04
loolIt does not; let me grab their changes09:05
loolpitti: http://people.ubuntu.com/~lool/96_fix_for_new_hal.patch09:10
pittilool: hm, that looks like basically reverting 00_disable_media_handling.patch ?09:12
pittithere are no hal specific changes in that patch09:13
pittilool: btw, the latest upstream version  has this 'disabling' patch applied already09:13
pittimeh, intltool/libxml-parser-perl dependency issue in intrepid seems to cause FTBFS all over the place09:16
tkamppeterpitti, hi09:17
pittihi tkamppeter09:17
tkamppeterpitti, can you upload system-config-printer and foo2zjs for me (see your mail)/09:18
pittitkamppeter: yes, I'll do it09:18
tkamppeterthanks09:18
loolpitti: Yes, it reverts the disabling and fixes a couple of things09:19
loolpitti: They should have used two patches instead of one09:19
loolAnd I also said to remove patches they want to disable instead of adding a reverted patch IIRC09:19
loolpitti: I think this part is the relevant one:09:20
lool-       { "block",                 block_device_added        },09:20
lool+       { "volume",                 block_device_added        },09:20
loolI think they sent that upstream now09:21
loolIn fact we did it with Michael while I was sitting next to him09:21
loolHmm no, we sent the hal changes not the gvm ones09:21
loolpitti: Anyway, StevenK tried ivman out and it worked for him; we're likely to stick to that if we're happy with it09:23
loolpitti: You can check with Michael Frey if you want more details on what they changed in gvm for the new hal09:23
pittilool: ah, thanks for the heads-up09:24
StevenKivman looks lighter than gvm.09:25
StevenKIt's what to do about unmounting that escapes me09:25
loolGood point09:25
pittiStevenK: but g-v-m doesn't do that either09:26
loolIn all cases we need some UI that will call pmount/gnome-mount to umount devices09:26
pittiunmounting needs to happen manually09:26
StevenKRight, exactly. We have no UI.09:26
lool\o/09:26
loolStevenK: MSG has been evaluating pcmanfm and rox (rox-filer); we should poke them on the topic, perhaps it's related09:27
StevenKlool: Okay.09:27
loolpcmanfm has "# Built-in volume management (mount/umount/eject through HAL)"09:28

berzerkai am trying to rebuild the libusb-0.1.12 source package using dpkg-buildpackage. i installed all build deps (especially jade), but get a lot of jade errors of "undefined elements". what is going on here? might the build dependancies of the package be wrong? any idea how to fix it? (asked on #ubuntu some minutes ago, but no answer as expected)10:53
crimsunasac: well, we could go with -backports, then10:53
berzerka(please just tell me if this is not the right place to ask..)10:55
pittiberzerka: does the package actually stop building, or does it just spit out the errors?10:55
berzerkapitti: it aborts. dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 210:56
emgentmorning10:56
pittiberzerka: eww, that sounds like a genuine bug then10:56
berzerkathe errors are of the kind: jade:../../doc/manual.sgml:12:17:E: element "BOOK" undefined10:56
berzerkafor a huge bunch of elements (he stops after 200 since this is the maximum numbers of jade errors reported)10:57

pittimight be a missing build-conflicts: perhaps10:58

berzerkabuild-deps were either jade or openjade, tried both with the same result10:59

pittiberzerka: yes10:59
berzerkai see..11:00
berzerkastrange, then11:00
berzerkacan i confirm wether i have an up-to-date, "clean" hardy install here?11:00
asacberzerka: you could try to build using pbuilder to be sure11:01
berzerkaasac: never heard of it. i will read up...11:01
berzerkai have only "hardy" references in sources.list, lsb_release tells me 8.04 hardy and aptitude full-upgrade returns nothing, so i conclude i have an up-to-date hardy installation.11:04
berzerkawhat's going on? i did pbuilder --create, and he began installing a hube bunch of system-packages? err... the man-page said nothing about that. well hopefully the required deps are installed at least.11:09

berzerkahow can this be? is my base install broken?11:27

berzerkathis was a gutsy install which i upgraded to hardy.11:28
berzerkabut shouldn't dpkg-buildpackage have told me so when checking the build-deps?11:29
pittiberzerka: yes; packages can create Build-Conflicts:, but apparently this one does't11:29
broonieberzerka: Build conflicts are moderately unlikely to get noticed; many people always build in a chroot and even if they don't they may never run into the issue.11:30
berzerkapitti: soo, this seems to really be a (minor) bug in the package.. i guess you guys would like it fixed. now i got to find out what the difference between my install and the chroot base system is..11:31
pittiberzerka: thank you!11:31
berzerkahow can i check which version of jade has been installed in the base.tgz?11:32
pittiberzerka: there's probably a lot, but not so many java related ones11:32
pittiberzerka: the versions are probably identical, but your normal system has a lot more packages installed11:32
pittiberzerka: you can 'pbuilder login' and play in the chroot11:33
pittiberzerka: (changes won't be preserved by default)11:33
berzerkapitti: nice, thanks11:33
berzerkapitti: inside the pbuilder shell, where do i find my source-package directory?11:35
berzerkapitti: i want to try to dpkg-buildpackage from in here, first.11:35
pittiberzerka: normally it's not there; you can apt-get source it again, or use some mount --bind tricks11:35
berzerkapitti: alright11:35
pittiberzerka: it's not a very comfortable chroot for interactive working; pbuilder is mainly designed to build packages automatically11:36

Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 5.0.22) autotools-dev pkg-config docbook-dsssl jade | openjade. those are about the same deps i was missing in my install.11:42

berzerkapitti: as i see it, docbook has to be added as an explicit build dependancy.12:17
ScottK\sh: That's the plan.12:18
berzerkapitti: i had docbook not installed. libusb has only docbook-dsssl as build-dependancy. docbook-dsssl depends on docbook | docbook-xml. since i had docbook-xml installed (don't know why), docbook hasn't been installed transitively.12:19
ScottKpitti: It's not a question of unison being broken as incompatible.  With what's in the repositories, you can sync among Dapper through Hardy machines, but not with any boxes with the current version.12:19
ScottKunison has a history of incompatible on the wire protocol changes.12:19
pittiScottK: ah, I see; but shouldn't it be an automated backport still?12:20
berzerkapitti: after installing docbook, it works now. does one of you take care of adding docbook to the build-deps of libusb or should i file a bug for it? or do you see another problem/solution? :)12:20
ScottKpitti: Now yes, but last week we didn't have it yet.12:20
pittiberzerka: I don't know exactly, but IIRC there was some weird problem with the docbook dependencies; asac, do you remember?12:20

ubottuDebian bug 479397 in wnpp "RFA: gutenprint -- printer drivers for CUPS" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/47939713:05
ScottKI thought you might be interested.13:05
tkamppeterpitti, slangasek, is it needed to have this fixed in Intrepid before it get an SRU for Hardy? I am thinking about replacing the current foomatic-filters already by version 4.0 which is written in C and not in Perl (and also fixes the bug). So it will take some time to the next foomatic-filters package.13:07
\shScottK, or the wish ;)13:07
ScottKSomeone ought to pick it up it seems and the more print stuff is managed in common between Debian/Ubuntu the better off both distros will be, IMO.13:08
tkamppeterScottK, thenkas for the info. I am not an official Debian Developer, so I cannot upload directly into Debian. What I can do is to have the packaging managed in a common SVN repo where I make the Ubuntu packages from and someone of Debian only takes snapshots from there to have Debian packages. This way it works with HPLIP currently. The rpos are hosted at Debian.13:12
ScottKtkamppeter: You don't need to be a DD to maintain stuff in Debian (I maintain several packages there).13:13
ScottKThat sounds sane though.13:13

berzerkapitti: will you take care of the bug or shall i commit a report for now?13:39
berzerkapitti: i mean, docbook seems to be definitely required, so i don't see why one shouldn't just add it as an explicit build dependancy.13:41
berzerkahm maybe i'll just wait for asac to respond....13:41
pittiberzerka: re (sorry, was at lunch)13:48
pittiberzerka: the most effective place to report that would be a Debian bug IMHO13:48
pittitkamppeter: well, the package is already in hardy-proposed, so that should be answer enough :)13:50
pittitkamppeter: ideally the patch would be uploaded to intrepid right now, then that bug is done, and doesn't block on the rewrite13:50
pittitkamppeter: but for #219999 the important blocker is now to collect testing feedback13:50
pittitkamppeter: there is none at all so far, so we cannot move it to -updates13:51
berzerkapitti: i am really not confident with reporting a bug which i encounter in ubuntu to the debian devs. does ubuntu completely mirror the debian repositories, or are versions/dependancies managed on its own? if yes, this is a ubuntu bug i would say. one could check wether the same problem exists in the debian repositories, then there would, by chance, exist the same bug in debian as in ubuntu.13:52
norsettoberzerka: for what you said the bug is not the missing build-dep on dokbook, is the alternative build-deps that doesn't work13:53
berzerkanorsetto: docbook-dsssl depends on docbook | docbook-xml. you mean the error is the dependancy on docbook-xml? (since the package doesn't seem to fully supply what is required..)13:55
norsettoberzerka: yes, note also that our libusb and docbook-dsssl are unchanged from Debian13:55
berzerkaokay the error seems to exist in debian unstable, too..13:57
berzerkadocbook-xml only suggests docbook and not requires it, but (falsely) satisfies the build-dependancy of libusb.13:58
norsettoberzerka: yes, if it is really required for dokbook to be a build-depends, than yes, it should be added as an explicit dependency and not to be relied upon being dragged in as a secondary one13:59
berzerkaokay then. i will report a bug at bugs.debian.org. i hope they won't recognize that this error actually stems from a ubuntu system, cause i fear to (rightly) get flamed in that case...13:59
norsettoberzerka: why should you? We even have usertags for that14:00
jdongyou're unlikely to be flamed for reporting a Ubuntu bug to Debian14:00
* berzerka doesn't know about usertags14:00
berzerkabut okay, if you say so.14:00
berzerkathank you all very much, i'm glad this issue is resolved, and i can go on debugging libusb :)14:01
norsettoberzerka: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Debian/Usertagging14:01
berzerkanorsetto: thanks. so i should tag with origin-ubuntu and hardy?14:02
pittiberzerka: thanks a lot for your effort!14:03
berzerkahardy doesn't seem to be really relevant here..14:03
pitti(right)14:03
pittiberzerka: the packages are mostly straight imported from Debian14:03

asachmm ... whats the problem? building libusb* still?14:07
berzerkaalright. very helpful you are in here. next time i have a real, distro-related problem i will check back here, #ubuntu is not that helpful in those respects, busy with explaining the user interface..14:07
berzerkaasac: everything resolved, i guess.14:07
tkamppeterpitti, thanks for the info, testing is so far based only on my daily printing which does not show any regression (I use the patched Hardy package currently and not foomatic-rip 4.0).14:08
pittitkamppeter: there must be someone else who also has an affected printer?14:08
asacberzerka: ok thanks.14:08
berzerkaasac: problem was: i had docbook-xml installed. docbook-dsssl is a build-dep, which depends on docbook OR docbook-xml. but docbook seems to be actually required (and is only suggested by docbook-xml). i will file a bug at debian, the problem exists also in sid.14:08
pittitkamppeter: anyway, if you are using the actual binaries from hardy-proposed, please state your own test results in the bug14:08
pittitkamppeter: (thanks)14:08
tkamppeterpitti, I do not have a printer which is affected, I have tested the fix itself by printing into a file when I did the fix for upstream and also when I tested whether the patch has applied correctly to the Ubuntu packages.14:10
pittitkamppeter: I guess we'll just wait for the bug reporters then?14:10
tkamppeterMy daily printing is a regression test and shows up to now that the patch does not break anything else in the printing workflow.14:11
pittitkamppeter: if none of them answers, the problem can hardly be so pressing14:11
pittitkamppeter: ah, that's a good data point to have, though; can you mention this in the bug, please?14:11
pittitkamppeter: I mean the regression testing on other modesl14:11
tkamppeterThe original reporter is George Liu from Ricoh (the author of the affected PPD files).14:12
tkamppeterI have sent mail to him asking to test, but he did not answer yet.14:13

ScottKOK.20:31
jeromegsee you20:31
Caesartjaalton: (wrt to #113679) can you try a build with the patch I've attached?20:32

tjaaltonCaesar: I don't have a dapper machine to test on, but maybe my PPA would do21:04
tjaaltonCaesar: thanks for the fix btw, I've just been too busy to do anything with it21:05
jpatrickhwilde: /msg SeenServ help21:21
hwildejpatrick, cool.   i thought ubottu did that too21:23
tjaaltondoes a give-back mean that a FTBFS'd package is allowed to get fixed and re-use the FTBFS'd version?21:33
RainCTtjaalton: only if re-building it without changes to the source will fix the FTBFS21:34
RainCT(ie, because it was a problem with the buildd, the archive, or something)21:34
tjaaltonRainCT: ah right21:34
tjaaltonthanks21:34
tjaaltonmakes sense21:34

emgentno, script say "done", but i dont see this sync request in launchpad.22:22

hwildeany acpi experts ?22:43
mjg59hwilde: in what respect?22:45
hwildewhat would cause phantom power button pressed messages?22:46
hwildesystem randomly just reboots itself22:46
mjg59reboots?22:47
hwildeyep.  it invokes /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh22:47
hwildeit says "Power button pressed"  and it reboots22:48
hwildei blame the hardware... some type of electrical issue... but the EE people have commented out /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh and it no longer reboots, so they blame the OS :(22:48
hwildebut I think it's just going to lock up on them and then they won't be able to turn it off at all22:49
mjg59Some hardware will do it if it thinks that a thermal trip has occured22:49
hwildeit seems to be related to usb devices... strange as that sounds22:50
hwildeplug in a logitech rumblepad controller and the thing reboots repeatedly...22:51
calchttp://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=8703 <- title of article is funny22:51
* calc would rather spend eternity using windows than one day of solaris (again)22:52
hwildecareful what you wish for :/22:52
calchwilde: i've had the misfortune of having to manage solaris machines before, it was beyond horrid22:52
hwildelol it calls opensolaris "an enterprise-class UNIX desktop and server with an Ubuntu-like flavor"22:53
hwildei've tried it, it does not taste like ubuntu whatsoever.22:54
* calc wonders if solaris has gotten useful programs like... top, yet22:54
calcwhen i last used it (which was a while ago) it had nothing useful installed even with a full install22:54
hwildeI don't think it's intended to be used....   much more stable that way.22:55
hwildebut this random rebooting issue has seriously slowed down my development.   uninstall acpi and it's fine...  do I really need acpi ?22:56
rocketsOut of curiosity, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, so I apologize in advance if it isn't, is there any chance of the firefox/flash/youtube crash bug being fixed on "our" side, or is something Adobe has to take care of?22:56
hwildedo you have a bug #22:57
rocketshwilde, are you referring to me?22:57
hwildei'll take that as a no22:57
rocketshwilde, actually, I think I do.22:58
crimsun192888, probably.22:58
hwildethnx i've hit my google quota for the day...22:58
crimsunand the answer is most likely, look for some nspluginwrapper love from -backports.22:58
rockets209442, and a similar bug I think would be 8121222:59
hwildewow that's an old one23:00
rocketshwilde, either way, its pretty widely known that firefox randomly crashes on youtube using the nonfree flash plugin23:00
calcthe nonfree flash plugin doesn't even work well on windows23:00
rocketscalc, speak for yourself.23:00
calcit constantly is screwing up on my wifes computer23:00
hwildesorry I was busy working :/23:00
rocketscalc, It "works for me TM"23:01
calcshe has to restart firefox every few days to get flash working again23:01
mtayloris there a wiki page somewhere about the process for proposing something for hardy-updates?23:01
rocketscalc, Anyway, I wasn't complaining. I was just curious.23:01
ScottK!SRU | mtaylor23:01
ubottumtaylor: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates23:01
mtaylorScottK: thanks23:01
crimsunrockets: please see 192888.23:01
calci looked at her computer yesterday and asked her why she was using IE, and it was because flash stopped working again, and she didn't want to have to restart firefox23:01
ScottKNo problem.23:01
rocketsthanks crimsun23:01
calchopefully the docs adobe released are good enough to implement a free non-buggy oss flash plugin :)23:02
rocketscalc, thats what im hoping too.23:02
rocketscalc, gnash plays youtube videos just fine without crashing, but not much else.23:02
calcyea23:02
rocketscrimsun, i see it says a fix was released? hope to see that soon.23:03
ajmitchrunning plugins in the same process would tend to be slightly unsafe for that reason23:03
ScottKWork with YouTube and not for ads would be a feature in my book.23:03
crimsunrockets: for /which/ source package?  :-)23:03
rocketsflashplugin-nonfree, which doesnt seem possible lol23:03
rocketssince we have no access to the source for that23:03
crimsunrockets: no, that's correct.  It no longer depends on libflashsupport, which apparently caused more harm than good.23:04
rocketsahhh23:04
rocketsthats not a fix hehe23:04
rocketscrimsun, it may not depend on it, but at least on my system, WITHOUT libflash support, after a flash movie plays with sound, no other apps can play sound even if i close firefox.23:05
crimsunrockets: I know full well and addressed that.23:05
rocketsso libflashsupport is somewhat vital, as far as im concerned.23:05
mtaylorScottK: I've got a fix on the way for a package which has a regression from gutsy to hardy because of a patch applied in the debian upstream package... I'm not sure if it qualifies as a "severe regression" - but it is a loss of functionality23:05
crimsununfortunately, my workaround is a bit too zealous.23:05
mtaylorScottK: should I go through the whole process - or is there a way to quickly vet whether or not I'd be wasting tons of people's time?23:05
rocketscrimsun, addressed that as in a fix was released and an update was pushed out? or addressed it as in something is in the works but not done yet.23:05
ScottKmtaylor: Is the package Main or Universe?23:06
mtaylorUniverse23:06
crimsunrockets: the latter.  There are two approaches: change pulseaudio's default config, or build an i386 nspluginwrapper package.23:06
rocketsah23:06
rocketscrimsun, by the way, thank you. of all the ubuntu devs ive spoken to, i think over the last year youve been willing to spend far more time answering my inane questions then was really necessary23:07
ScottKmtaylor: Then I'd suggest head over to #ubuntu-motu and ask if there is someone from motu-sru who is available to give you an opinion.23:07
mtaylorScottK: great. thanks again23:07
rocketscrimsun, and i appreciate it23:07
crimsunrockets: thanks, but you need not thank me.23:07
rocketscrimsun, i remember you said you maintain alsa for ubuntu, do you maintain pulseaudio as well?23:08
rocketsor you just work closely with them because its obviously a highly related package23:08
crimsunrockets: no, I no longer maintain them, but I poke once in a while.23:09
rocketsah.23:09
PupenoHello.23:54
PupenoHow do I get the same package built for other versions of Ubuntu on PPA?23:54
