pochuJazzva: that's because Liferea's maintainer switched to it in 1.4.12: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/l/liferea/liferea_1.4.15-1/changelog#versionversion1.4.12-100:00

cosmodadheya. I'm trying to do a Gutsy-backport of easytag-aac using pdebuild. When configure runs, however, MP4 support isn't enabled, and I'm advised to install libmp4v2.00:55
cosmodadThe library, however, is installed. Any clue?00:55
cosmodadspecifically, the library libmp4v2 is installed during pdebuild run.00:56

sommeris there significance to the different hues of green on merges.u.c ?02:34
mathiazsommer: the colors refer to how long it's been since the last merge02:36
sommermathiaz: ah thanks02:37
RAOFno0tic: dh_icons replaces a dh_installicons (or something) that we had in Ubuntu's debhelper but not in Debian's.  dh_icons will be needed to update the gtk-icon-cache (and the KDE etc one should they get around to making one).02:37
sommermathiaz: so the lower ones are oldest?02:38
no0ticRAOF, dh_iconcache :) now dh_icons is present in debian too but the maintainer didn't added it to his debian/rules02:38
mathiazsommer: well - the upper ones are the packages that have *not* been merged for a while02:38
sommermathiaz: gotcha02:39
RAOFno0tic: Then you can't sync it yet, you'll need a merge which adds a dh_icons call.02:39
no0tic*didn't add02:39
no0ticRAOF, ok, it is what I'm doing02:39
mathiazsommer: red - long time since the last merge - green not so long02:39
crimsunno0tic: push the debdiff to the Debian maintainer; wait for it to be applied; request sync post.02:39
RAOFOr, indeed, what crimsun says is better.02:39
bbyevercould someone please review this debdiff before i upload it to lp ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11040/02:40
no0ticcrimsun, ok, so it's better to wait them to change their package... until when? When could we say, well let's do a merge?02:40
crimsunno0tic: we're still quite early in the merge cycle; I'd say if the Debian maintainer(s) doesn't apply something within 3 weeks, just go ahead and merge it.02:41
no0ticcrimsun, ok, thank you02:41
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, are you the maintainer of alsa-tools?02:41
crimsunRoAkSoAx: used to be.  What's up?02:41
no0ticcrimsun, filing a bug in debian bug control is ok? or it's better to mail the mantainer?02:42
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, i tried to merge it, but when building the binary i got lot's of warnings... the same warnings as in the hardy built... so james_w told me to talk to you about it02:42
crimsunno0tic: mail via bugs@ or control@ with patch attached (and tags + patch) is best02:42
crimsunRoAkSoAx: which set of warnings?02:43

bbyeveruhh im not sure this debdiff is correct (http://paste.ubuntu.com/11040/), could someone have a look at it before i upload it to lp?02:55

RoAkSoAxdebain/rules02:57
RoAkSoAx-      - added removal of po/*.gmo files02:57
RoAkSoAxbut i do not know for sure02:57
bbyeverbut shouldnt all the changes be in the changelog?02:58
RoAkSoAxbbyever, yeah... but just UBuntu changes, and not debian changes... and that part of the changelog i can see it in the debian changelog part02:59
bbyeverRoAkSoAx: ahh right02:59

RoAkSoAxwelcom bbyever02:59
no0ticcrimsun, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11041/ <- this body and debdiff attached03:01
RoAkSoAxno0tic, i believe that if you added dh_icons in debian/rules would be something like http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11043/03:05
RoAkSoAxbut i'm not sure03:05
no0ticRoAkSoAx, I _copied_ from hardy's merge03:06
no0tic  * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:03:06
no0tic    - debian/rules:03:06
no0tic      + Use dh_icons instead dh_iconcache.03:06
RoAkSoAxdidn't know that.. so i guess it is good then :P xD03:06
no0ticin that case debian package used dh_iconcache, in my case it uses nothing, so it is a bit different03:08
StevenKno0tic: Debian never had dh_iconcache.03:12
StevenKdh_iconcache is an Ubuntu-ism, dh_icons is in Debian. If anything, the patch should be commited to Debian.03:12
no0ticStevenK, "now" also ubuntu uses dh_icons, right?03:13
StevenKno0tic: Right.03:14
no0ticUser: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com03:14
no0ticUsertags: origin-ubuntu intrepid ubuntu-patch03:14
emberStevenK but dh_icons is now on gnome.mk in Debian cdbs 0.4.5203:15
no0ticare these tags ok for the bug report?03:15
StevenKember: Okay, so if the package uses gnome.mk it doesn't need to do anything.03:15
no0ticStevenK, ok, so no need for the bug report?03:16
StevenKno0tic: Well, does it use gnome.mk?03:16
emberyes, so no need to commit that change into Debian, and as soon that cdbs get into intrepid that packages if use gnome.mk really doesnt need that delta03:16
StevenKCDBS has been merged in Intrepid already03:16
embercool03:17
no0ticStevenK, it is a kde package, does it make any difference?03:17
RoAkSoAxhey guys, can you help me? how to apply this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-tools/raw-rev/9d1e48f8dd5d03:17
StevenKno0tic: I'd need to check myself03:17
no0ticStevenK, sorry, but I'm learning how things work.. it's only few days since I started in this field :)03:19
StevenKno0tic: What is the package name?03:20
no0ticStevenK, kid303:20
StevenKno0tic: Give me a few to do the merge myself03:21
no0ticI'll be here :)03:21
jdongStevenK: you're gonna be merging kid3? that sounds hot ;-)03:24
jdong*ducks*03:24
StevenKjdong: No, no0tic is.03:25
StevenKI'm helping.03:25
jdongStevenK: whoa.... didn't \sh blog about something like that a few days ago on Planet?03:25
* jdong is going to hell03:25
StevenKno0tic: Right, the Debian source of kid3 does not include dh_icons in it's debian/rules, and we do.03:25
StevenKno0tic: So the delta is adding dh_icons, and it's *adding*, not replacing dh_iconcache. A bug report should be submitted to Debian's kid3 maintainer asking them to include dh_icons03:26
no0ticStevenK, ok03:26
no0ticStevenK, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11041/  this would be the bug report mail body at which I will attach the debdiff03:29
StevenKno0tic: You need to strip the debdiff to only include the relevant changes -- the Debian package does not need the Maintainer change, or the Ubuntu changelog entries.03:29
no0ticStevenK, ok03:30
StevenKno0tic: I'd suggest you word it, rather than pasting from the changelog too. "The Ubuntu package of kid3 uses dh_icons during its build to update the icon cache during installation, I am attaching a patch to debian/rules that adds it."03:30
no0ticStevenK, thank you very much, once finished I'll post here the patch03:31
emberno0tic here's an example http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=46445903:32
ubottuDebian bug 464459 in giggle "giggle: Please call dh_icons during build" [Normal,Closed]03:32
no0tichttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11048/ <- this is the patch I'm attaching03:34
RoAkSoAxcan anyone help me on applying this?? http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-tools/raw-rev/9d1e48f8dd5d i dunno how to do it! :( (i'm just starting with packaging and stuff)03:38
StevenKno0tic: That patch looks good.03:40
no0ticStevenK, fine, I'm posting then, thanks a lot03:40
no0ticStevenK, crimsun advised me to wait some time before continuing in the merge. If debian does the change then we can sync03:42
StevenKno0tic: Exactly.03:42
jdong^^ ooh I need to track him down :)03:44
emgent:D03:46
RoAkSoAxno0tic, how did you made the patch?03:46
no0ticRoAkSoAx, by hand03:46
no0ticRoAkSoAx, vim'ed the debdiff :)03:46
RoAkSoAxno0tic, lol ... i guess i have to do the same thing then xD :)03:47

LaserJockMOTU Meeting in 45 min?04:15
ajmitchthere is?04:18
LaserJockI believe so04:19
ajmitchI'd better hide then04:19
TheMusoDon't think there is anything on the agenda yet.04:27
TheMusoI think it has something to do with the time of day.04:27
ajmitchwhat, being close to beer o'clock?04:29
LaserJockI was gonna maybe add a couple items04:31
TheMusoLaserJock: Go for it.04:35
=== RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx
LaserJockok, added04:39
* ajmitch looks04:40
ajmitchhm, a fan club04:41
ajmitchI could join one of those04:41
RoAkSoAxsomeone available to help me with something related to alsa-tools?04:50
TheMusoLaserJock: I do wonder whether we will get a deacent turn out however.04:50
persia_It's the 04:00 meeting, which is traditionally the least well attended...04:51
LaserJockTheMuso: well, I just didn't want a meeting without anything :-004:58
LaserJockI'm mostly just interested chatting about things04:58
* TheMuso nods.04:58
LaserJockmy goal is to make the 04:00 MOTU Meeting *the* place to be ;-)05:47
ajmitchisn't it already?05:48
LaserJockno, it's the least attended one05:48
LaserJockI gotta start bringing pizza or something05:48
LaserJockthat works for grad students05:48
* ajmitch had pizza for lunch today05:49
ajmitchit was good :)05:49
LaserJockdarn05:50
* RAOF is making pizza for dinner05:50
LaserJocknow I'm craving a pepperoni pizza05:50
* TheMuso had pizza the other night.05:52
ajmitchyeah, it was a bit of foreigners being shown the local culture :)05:52
virtualdshut up, i have about $40 for the next 10 days05:52
TheMusoPizza seems to be a geek food.05:52
RAOFSimple, cheap, and delivered.05:52
RoAkSoAxlol =)05:52
ajmitchTheMuso: considering who I was with, I'm not surprised that pizza was the suggestion05:53
* ajmitch is glad that it's mostly stopped raining now though05:53
LaserJockok, so I'm gonna email -motu about the "fanclub" team and email the rest of MOTU SRU about 7-day aging05:54
LaserJockthat's all right?05:54
ajmitchthat's what was agreed on, iirc05:54
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, what will be the specific purpose of having the fan club?05:55
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: to give a team for new people to identify with MOTU05:55
LaserJockright now we have no "entry-level" team05:56
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, but.. besides?? they should be given specific task so that they feel more identified with the team05:56
LaserJockwell, I'm not sure what to do there05:56
LaserJockin the Doc Team we have the Documentation Students team05:57
LaserJockand they are part of a mentoring program05:57
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, for example.. they could have the task to help newbies ... because there is a waiting list to Obtain a MOTU Mentor05:57
LaserJockand I think they have a copy of the docs in bzr for them to play with there05:57
RoAkSoAxthey could be like "junior mentors"05:57
* TheMuso will get the minutes done some time this weekend.05:58
RoAkSoAxi believe that if you gonna make a fanclub, you should give them specific tasks so that they can feel more involved than just being part of another LP team05:58
LaserJockthat makes some sense05:58
LaserJockI'm just not sure how to "give" them things05:59
bbyeverassign them to bitsize bugs05:59
RoAkSoAxfor example, nxvl has been a great teacher to me and helped introducing me to the packaging world and stuff.. they could be like junior mentors of newbies.. because nowadays there is a wait list for a MOTU mentor...06:00
bbyeveror other simple tasks06:00
LaserJockI was just thinking of something along those lines06:00
RoAkSoAxwhat bbyever says makes sense too06:00
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: well, we just created a Universe Contributors team06:00
LaserJockI would see that team as more the "experienced non-MOTUs"06:00
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, yeah i now, i'm just giving you ideas of how to improve things xD06:00
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: well, do you think an entry-level team would be useful06:01
RoAkSoAxif its experienced non-MOTUs, would be great to have them mentoring newbs06:01
persia_LaserJock: Could you please not use "fan club", but instead something more general, that emphasised that they was to be members of some team, rather than that they are fans of MOTU?06:01
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, i believe so... but if you have specifics task for that team...06:01
LaserJockpersia_: sure, I just couldn't think of a short name for it06:01
RoAkSoAxspecify*06:02
persia_LaserJock: Understood.  I just think "fan club" is misleading.06:02
LaserJockpersia_: well, it seemed to me that that was along the lines of what sebner was talking about06:02
LaserJockalthough maybe my definition of "fan club" is not quite accurate06:02
persia_See, I'd disagree.  I think he wanted to be part of a group that contributed something, not a group that was a fan of something.06:03
LaserJockah06:03
persia_Yes: it's just semantics.  I disagree with your definition of "fan club", not your other thoughts about it.06:03
LaserJocki took him to me just something to say "heah, I like MOTU"06:03
ajmitchLaserJock: it's people like me who want to be fans06:03
LaserJockas an identification rather than contributory motivation06:04
persia_No.  He wanted a badge that said he was someone who was working on stuff, and planned to have cooler badges soon.06:04
LaserJockok, i gotcha06:04
RoAkSoAxbut that team should be created not to give a badge to users who are working on stuff... that team should be a team with specific tasks that way they will have certain "resposibility"06:05
LaserJockit would be cool if we could make such a team a member of ubuntu-bugcontrol06:05
LaserJockso as to say "these are the people working on MOTU bugs/tasks"06:05
LaserJockobviously we wouldn't do an purely open team then06:06
persia_RoAkSoAx: I don't think it appropriate to pass responsibility to an open team: we should know someone for a while before they are assumed to be responsible.  Doesn't mean people not in closed teams aren't responsible, or can't help, only that they ought work with others.06:06
persia_Anyway, I have to be off, as for me, now is not an ideal time.  I'll read logs later, and hope for more.06:06
LaserJockbut a very low "barrier"06:06
LaserJockI'm just not sure that an open team is what we want06:07
LaserJockin the case of the Doc Students team06:07
RoAkSoAxpersia, yes but, LaserJock is saying that the team is for experienced non-MOTUs that want to be MOTUs... that way.. if you give them responsibilities... you will know who is suitable to become a MOTU and who's not06:07
LaserJockall somebody has to do is send an email saying "heah, I'd love to join" and we add them06:07
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: no, I said we already have such a team06:08
LaserJockwhat we're wondering about is an entry-level team06:08
LaserJockfor newish people06:08
bbyeverpersonaly i think such a team would only be useful as a "mentor waiting list" to give them simple things to do06:08
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, in the spanish translations team, people have to work on translations for 3 months. After that they can apply, if they have good translations and the team accepts them as official translators they will have a responsibility, that is not just to translate.. but to review an correct and so on06:08
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: right06:09
RoAkSoAxso, that way you ensure that things go right06:09
LaserJockright now we have MOTU06:09
LaserJockand Universe Contributors (which is experienced non-MOTUs)06:10
LaserJockthe question is whether we need yet another team for new people just getting started06:10
RoAkSoAxso if you create the newbie team... would be a team of people who needs mentoring and guidance...06:10
bbyeverIMO no06:11
LaserJockI guess "need" is also maybe a bad word06:11
LaserJockthe question is if people want or would be helped by such a team06:11
bbyeverbut the mentor already serves that purpose06:12
RoAkSoAxbut if they are part of a team, i would say that it would be better to give some responsibilities, guidance and mentoring so that way they can feel more involved06:12
bbyevermentor program*06:12
RoAkSoAxbbyever, but not everyone gets a mentor06:12
RoAkSoAxas far as i've heard, there is a waiting list to obtain a mentor06:12
RoAkSoAxso what about people who does not have a mentor, and many times are on their own?06:13
LaserJockwell06:13
LaserJockthere are a few different issues there06:13
LaserJockone is that "mentoring" doesn't necessarily mean a formal mentor/mentee relationship06:13
LaserJockI consider MOTU as a team to often be mentors for people wanting to become MOTUs06:14
LaserJockit's more informal, but that's kinda the idea06:14
LaserJockwe also have a formal Mentoring program06:14
LaserJockwhich, as I understand it, is stalled out because of a lack of mentors06:15
RoAkSoAxmaybe but for example, as i said, nxvl has been a great mentor to me... he has helped me a lot to get started and he is trying to get the Other Ubuntu-PE members involved too so that is good06:16
LaserJocksure06:16
LaserJockthat's great06:16
* jdong has thought "come in here and ask a question" has worked beautifully06:16
LaserJockjdong: me too06:16
jdonga dedicated mentor has to work on a schedule to meet up with the mentee06:16
jdongwhich can work out less favorably than just pitching problems to this open forum06:16
LaserJockhowever, some people do really prefer a one-on-one interaction06:16
LaserJockI tend to think mentoring works best as sort of an organic process, to use a fad phrase06:17
RAOF(You mean involving carbon-carbon bonds? :))06:17
RoAkSoAxbut, besides of having a mentor that has to work on a schedule, you could have other kind of mentors, that can help users to get started with packaging... perfect example: nxvl to me and other peruvian members06:18
RoAkSoAxhe does not have the obligation to mentor me... but he does whenever he cans06:18
RoAkSoAxand would be great to have those kind of "mentors"... not one who has to do it... but one that wants to do it06:19
RoAkSoAxfor example, offering Universe Contributors to mentor 2 people a year.... or something like that... they would have to work on a schedule, but they will be like the primary support of the learner06:20
LaserJockmentoring is just a really tough thing06:23
LaserJockwe've not really had all that high of a success rate with formal mentoring programs06:23
LaserJockand the mentors have to put in lots of time06:23
jdongI personally have no time in my schedule to do a full-time mentoring thing06:23
jdongmy workflow is I'm in here for 5 minutes, out for 10-20 minutes, repeated over 18 hours06:24
jdongand I think I still do a okay job of answering questions that pop in and out of here06:24
jdongbut I wouldn't be able to contribute meaningfully to a 1:1 mentorship program06:24
cbx33GLARG!!06:24
RoAkSoAxyeah, i don't expect every MOTU to be a formal mentor... i know people have to do other things besides mentoring...06:24
jdongcbx33: is that the 2nd argument to initializing OpenGL?06:25
cbx33no it's the pain I'm about to feel by slamming my own head into a table06:25
LaserJockcbx33: Pete!06:25
jdongRoAkSoAx: but if there's reasons that you feel a formal mentor works better for some than just asking questions to the channel / mailing list, please do try to organize that into a wiki page / spec06:26
cbx33hey LaserJock06:26
jdongI would be interested in reading that06:26
jdongbut speaking of 5 minutes, time to go deliver a hardcopy paper06:27
cbx33kdenlive06:27
cbx33why do you hate me so06:27
RoAkSoAxjdong, i believe that a formal mentor is just to have someone to be the one who answers all your questions...06:27
* jdong shoves HandBrake in cbx33's face06:27
RoAkSoAxit would be better to have 1 session a week to answer questions or maybe half an hour every day or something like that06:27
jdongcbx33: try a build system that uses Jam and wgets its dependencies from random places to statically link against them :D06:28
jdongwhile. building.06:28

cbx33WARNING: use unsermake instead of make or use a wrapper script, e.g. makeobj!!!06:31
cbx33unsermake all06:31
cbx33/bin/bash: unsermake: command not found06:31
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, it would be great for example, to have that new team created... and help those users in packaging or giving them bugs to do in a week or so (and give them special lessons)... and help them resolving the issues and stuff like that... than just having a team to say, ok i have a badge06:31
cbx33what can i do about that?06:31
jdongcbx33: install unsermake06:31
cbx33can't06:31
cbx33doesn't exist in repo06:31
jdongcbx33: well you're gonna have to grab it from KDE SVN then06:32
cbx33more SVN06:32
cbx33GAAHHH!!!06:32
cbx33hehehe06:32
jdonghttp://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=unsermake06:32
jdongyeah chasing down build deps can be a real pain06:32
cbx33hahaha06:32
cbx33well at least the KDE team tell me I'm gonna fail06:32
cbx33Installation notes06:32
cbx33You won't be probably able to install this, because there are no installation notes and those generic do not work. Shame, unusability at its best.06:32
jdongignore everything after Creating Slackware .tgz package with unsermake06:32
RAOFjdong: Is that page for real?06:33
jdongcbx33: lol I don't think that's true06:33
cbx33heheh06:33
jdongRAOF: sounds like someone REALLY grumpy one night vandalized the header :)06:33
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: I undestand. I just wonder if we can really commit to that06:33
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: I don't want to end up with a team that's just full of disappointed people06:34
RAOFA compelling replacement for autotools sounds fun.06:34
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, that is true... and i believe that if you create a team to identify those who want to become a motu someday... would not help much06:35
jdongRAOF: apparently unsermake builds KDE some 2x faster06:35
cbx33oh man06:35
cbx33the svn link is wrong06:35
jdongRAOF: I know a lot of Gentoovians use it06:35
RAOFjdong: My excitement knows no bounds.06:35
jdongRAOF: lol. I can tell you're drooling over this.06:35
RAOFBecause, you know, I build KDE all the time.06:36
jdongRAOF: lol I said Gentoovians, didn't I? :D06:36
RoAkSoAxfor example, i joined the marketing team long time ago... but... there was nothing specific to do than just to do marketing on your own... so i thought... why should i be part of this team... if it would be the same thing if i'm not part of the team... so that's why i think there should be a purpose with specific tasks for that team06:36
jdongthat's a bi-nightly ritual06:36
LaserJockI'm using cmake quite a bit these days, it's not too bad06:36
RAOFIt'd be nice to have a tool with some CIL smarts.06:37
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: I fully realize what you're saying. That was my initial objection to creating such a team.06:37
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: however, I'm uncertain how we'd actually go about giving a team like that tasks or purpose06:37
bbyeverLaserJock: IMO, this new team should just have tasks set out every weak, like a page of bitesize bugs. it could be just while waiting for an actual mentor.06:38
cbx33right well there's my 30 mins up for the day06:38
LaserJockbbyever: well, how would one actually give them the list?06:38
cbx33:(06:38
RoAkSoAxbbyever, that is a good idea06:38
bbyeverwiki or mailling list06:38
bbyeverlp teams now have mailling lists06:39
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, like saying: ok these week you can work in these bugs, A B and C... you can work with someone else or by yourself... during the week we'll have a session for troubleshooting and by the end of the week we'll review the bugs or something like that...06:40
=== asac_ is now known as asac
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: no, like I'm saying, how can we communicate with these people06:40
LaserJockit's just a Launchpad team06:40
LaserJockthere's no mailing list, etc.06:41
LaserJockso how are we to "tell" them anything?06:41
bbyeverLaserJock: lp teams do have mailling lists06:41
LaserJockwell06:41
bbyeverafaik06:41
RoAkSoAxi believe there are lists for lp teams right?06:41
LaserJockthe CC has requested that we not use those for now06:41
LaserJockeventually that may work, though it would mean yet another mailing list06:42
RoAkSoAxso, i believe that the people who are going to be in that team... are also suscribed to motu ML and motu-mentors right?? so that could be a way of communication... other way could be the wiki page06:42
cbx33unsermake doesn't seem to be in SVN anymore06:42
cbx33kdenonbeta is gone06:42
bbyeveralso, there has to be some sort of interest or initiative from the people who join. they can't expect to be gives everything, and joining an ubuntu mailling list isn't so hard...06:45
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: we've no way of knowing if they are subscribed to those lists06:45
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, and besides.. if someone joins that team.. it is because they are committed to become a motu or at least to learn... so if they are committed, the communication method could be any! and maybe using the current motu ML06:45
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, one of the requirements to join the team could be to suscribe to those lists...06:46
bbyeverI agree with roaksoax06:46
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: well, an open  team means there are no controls on who joins06:47
LaserJockbut if we did have a closed team that said "If you'd like to join this team people interested in contributing to Universe please email an introduction to ubuntu-motu" ?06:48
RoAkSoAxyes06:48
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, exactly... that way you will know who of those people are commited to contributing06:48
bbyeverI like that better06:48
bbyeverotherwise it would be pointless even having a team06:48
RoAkSoAxnot just joining a team to have more badges and say "ok i'm a team member of 5 teams, i'm of 6 teams" and so on...06:49
LaserJockbbyever: well, it's  not exactly pointless, but maybe not all that useful06:49
LaserJockhaving a closed team does require maintainence06:49
LaserJockwe'd need people who can add people06:50
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, yes... those people could send a presentation mail to the motu list, after the presentation someone approves him on the team06:51
bbyeverthe way I see it is: an open team requiering responsibility from the people joining or a closed team requiering responsibility from inside06:51
RoAkSoAxif its an open team... every single one who wants to be part of ubuntu, could join the team but will have no idea what that team is for...06:52
RoAkSoAxbut, if it is a close team... you filter people and just add those who are really interested in become part of motu06:53
bbyeverthey would, but they'd have to read wiki and join lists06:53
RoAkSoAxbbyever, by doing that.. they will show their commitment to the team...06:53
bbyeverexacly06:53
bbyeveran open team filters itself06:54
RoAkSoAxyeah... for example, if LoCo's where open teams... everybody could join but what for... team members in a LoCo team are team members because they committed themselves to help the community through the LoCo team, and they had to fit some requirements to joing the team...06:55
RoAkSoAxotherwise... we will have lots of people on the team with no use...06:56
RoAkSoAxfor example, in the peruvian team there are hundreds suscribed in the ML, and in the website... but there are few in the LP team... Those who are suscribed in the LP team (including myself) are the ones who really committed to work for the team and are the ones who doing something about it06:57
bbyeversame in the mx team06:58
RoAkSoAxbecause many others say, ok i want to be part of the team, but they don't show their commitment by just suscribing to a ML or a website...06:58
nxvlRoAkSoAx: go merge!06:58
RoAkSoAxnxvl, we're discussing a serious issue here... master yoda!!06:59
RAOFI'm not sure what this emphasis on 'commitment' is for.  Surely people demonstrate commitment by actually _doing_ things?  There's plenty to do, and plenty for someone just starting out to do.06:59
RoAkSoAxRAOF, yeah.. that's why if a new team is created... members of that team should show their commitment by fitting certain requirements07:00
nxvlwhat's the topic07:00
tbielawaevening07:00
bbyeverRAOF: the thing is new people don't always know what to do07:00
nxvli have no time to scrollback now07:00
LaserJocknxvl: we were discussing the formation of a LP team for new people to MOTU07:00
RAOFbbyever: Right.  But is the best solution a new team?07:01
cbx33Personally I think not07:01
LaserJockrather, if such a team were desirable to have07:01
nxvlbbyever: that's why the Wiki Pages are for, and the team stand for07:01
nxvlLaserJock: the motu contributors thing?07:01
tbielawaas a person new to MOTU I think I'd find it more confusing07:01
tbielawawell maintained wiki ftw07:01
RoAkSoAxand it is pointless to have and open team without a purpose...07:02
nxvlLaserJock: the one we discuss on the list some weeks ago?07:02
RAOFIs a better solution to add something to w.u.c/MOTU?  Something like 'if you're not sure what to do, join #ubuntu-motu or pipe up on ubuntu-motu@l.u.c'?07:02
LaserJocknxvl: yeah, now that we turned u-u-c into revu-uploaders we wondered if a general team for people wanting to get involved would be appropriate07:02
nxvli think not07:02
nxvlScottK has a good point on this07:02
RoAkSoAxnxvl, not if it's an open team...07:02
nxvland i think like him07:02
LaserJocknxvl: uh oh ;-)07:03
nxvlMOTU developers and contributors are to splited07:03
nxvlthere are 2 ML07:03
nxvl-motu and -motu-mentors07:03
bbyeverRAOF that could be a better solution07:03
nxvlthat split the community on "people who know what they are doing come here, and people who doesn't know go there"07:04
nxvlso you are making a barreer for new contributors07:04
nxvland making things harder for them07:04
nxvland that's now that we need to look for07:04
nxvlit will be better if everyone is on the same ML and same places07:04
RoAkSoAxnxvl, we were suggesting to use the -motu list or -motu-mentors list for those new contributors if the new team is to be created07:04
nxvlso the new contributors also know the other contributors and community members so they can help them07:05
RAOFnxvl: Right.  I wasn't even really aware of -motu-mentors.  Does it have a lot of traffic?07:05
nxvlRAOF: not really07:05
nxvlRAOF: but new contributors suscribe themselfs to it07:05
RoAkSoAxi'm suscribed to motu-mentors =)07:06
nxvli will suggest to remove -mentors ML i don;t see the point07:06
nxvlit only make new contributors be afraid to ask on -motu07:06
RAOFI agree there.07:07
mok0_nxvl: ... and it's mostly duplicates of -motu anyway07:07
cbx33do we have a good documentation set yet for being a MOTU07:07
nxvlmok0_: yes, most of the mails are send to the 2 ML07:07
nxvlcbx33: yes07:07
cbx33nxvl: link me07:08
RAOFcbx33: By 'being a MOTU' you mean the various tasks we perform, or the process of becoming a MOTU?07:08
cbx33and what the processes are for new packages07:08
cbx33and where to go when you get stuck07:08
cbx33and commen questions asked07:08
cbx33etc07:08
nxvlcbx33: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted07:08
nxvlthere are documents in the wiki for everything07:09
nxvlor almost everything07:09
LaserJockcbx33: it's probably better than when you started, but still lots that could be done07:09
cbx33right07:09
nxvlyou just need to learn what are you seraching for07:09
cbx33LaserJock: to be honest I think that's the number one thing you can do07:09
cbx33make a MOTU handbook07:09
LaserJocknxvl: I don't think the problem is so much that info isn't there, but rather it's hard to find07:10
cbx33even make it as a PDF and a lulu.com download07:10
cbx33give them a manual so you can say RTFM :p07:10
nxvlLaserJock: that's right07:10
cbx33also07:10
nxvlcbx33: there are a lot of MOTU Jurneys out there07:10
nxvleffie_jayx wrote one some moths ago07:11
nxvlmonths07:11
cbx33I'd look at giving people in the MOTU community almost like job titles.....07:11
cbx33so you can say07:11
cbx33MOTU manager does this07:11
cbx33instead of relying on a name of a person07:11
cbx33which may change 6 months away07:11
nxvlheh07:11
nxvlScottK is missing this conversation07:11
cbx33give them a chain of command07:11
RoAkSoAxit would also be great to have it in the system documentation xD07:12
cbx33who can I go to if someone is holding my stuff up07:12
cbx33etc07:12
nxvlif he were there i'm almost sure he will be reneging07:12
LaserJockcbx33: have a look at wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Leaders07:12
cbx33if that isn't in place....it should be07:12
cbx33LaserJock: ko07:12
cbx33I've been out of touch for a while07:12
RoAkSoAxthe documentation could be improved a lot by giving actual examples of how doing merges, patches and stuff like that.. and step by step07:12
cbx33I'm using my kdenlive rage to drive me on07:13
cbx33RoAkSoAx: definitely07:13
cbx33and then put it in a book07:13
cbx33"So you want to be a MOTU"07:13
cbx33:p07:13
RoAkSoAxyeah07:13
RoAkSoAx"The Ubuntu MOTU Book"07:13
RoAkSoAxwith lots of recipes and stuff like that07:13
cbx33yup07:14

cbx33cool07:17
RoAkSoAxand since i'm on "vacations", cuz i'm not doing anything else besides that07:17
RoAkSoAx:)07:18
bbyeverIts late here as well07:18
bbyeversee ya guys07:18
cbx33LaserJock: can you see what I see?07:18
LaserJocksorry, was afk for a minute07:20
LaserJockwell, here's the deal07:20
cbx33bbl07:20
cbx33:p07:20
LaserJockreal life examples and recipes are what everybody wants07:20
LaserJockbut they're very very difficult to do and maintain07:20
LaserJockI've been doing merging examples for somethign like 2 years07:21
LaserJockthey just get outdated, and because each package is so different I'm not sure people get out all that much more out of them07:21
LaserJocka MOTU Handbook would quickly swell into a monster that nobody would want to write or read I'm afraid07:22
LaserJockI *have* been thinking about a MOTU quick reference07:22
cbx33heheh07:22
cbx33well07:22
LaserJockdoing one each for MOTUs, Contributors, and Triagers07:22
cbx33I have an idea....07:23
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, yeah but you can have categories like "merges with conflicts in debian/control" "merges with conflicts with patches" or for example, how to resolve issues in debian/rules and so on07:23
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, that would be a great idea07:23
cbx33yes07:23
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: yeah, but each package is different07:23
cbx33Trye07:23
cbx33but.07:23
LaserJockand people will complain "I did it just like the recipe but it didn't work, your documentation sucks!"07:23
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, yeah i know that's the problem but all of'em have some similarities.. and someone could cover the basics...07:23
cbx33you gotta think......if these people are going to contribute you want people who are semi-intelligent07:24
LaserJockcbx33: don't start me down that road07:24
cbx33Well07:24
RoAkSoAxbut giving a big banner "This doc only covers the basics with conflicts in debian/control. Beware... each package is different..." and stuff like that07:24
cbx33my point, if they are not able to take a concept and adapt it07:25
cbx33....07:25
RoAkSoAxcbx33, i think the same07:25
LaserJockcbx33: seriously, you don't want me to go there07:25
cbx33"Itold you not to go there, I Told you not to go there"07:25
cbx33name that film07:26
cbx33:)07:26
RoAkSoAxlol07:26
tbielawahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted That has helped me get started07:30
tbielawaseemed pretty straight forward07:30
LaserJockin some ways I think some "issues" are perhaps due to different learning styles07:33
LaserJocksome people do quite well if you just point them to docs to read07:33
LaserJockother's just don't get anywhere 'til they get their hands dirty07:33
mok0_Getting Started with MOTU makes no sense IMHO07:33
LaserJockin practice we need to try to effectively teach to both07:34
LaserJockmok0_: care to elaborate?07:35
LaserJockI kind of agree with you, but wonder what things are problematic for you07:35
mok0_It is not clear what it means "get started in MOTU"07:35
mok0_... and that whole page should be updated to replace "motu" with "contributor"07:36
tbielawathat gets me too07:36
tbielawawhere they are drawing the line between contributors and MOTUs07:37
LaserJockah07:38
LaserJocksee, that's something too07:38
LaserJockwe have dual meanings to MOTU often07:38
LaserJockwe talk about MOTU as in the people who can upload to Universe/Multiverse07:38
LaserJockbut we also us "MOTU" in a generic sense to mean the collective community of  MOTUs and contributors07:38
mok0_I think a good way to explain is to say that a MOTU is something you can become when working as a contributor for a while. As a MOTU, you get the right to upload to the Universe archive07:39
LaserJockthe heavy use of "contributor" is relatively new07:39
LaserJockwe used to use MOTU Hopeful07:39
mok0_LaserJock: yeah07:39
tbielawaContributor sounds very politically correct, and more obvious07:40
mok0_LaserJock: but you can be a contributor without being a MOTU hopeful07:40
tbielawaif you say some one can be an ubuntu contributor it makes sense immeadiatly07:40
LaserJockyes, that's why it was changed07:40
LaserJockbefore in  our community you were basically either a MOTU or on your way to becoming one07:40
RoAkSoAxwell i'm tired.. going to sleep... good night all (or should i say day??)07:40
LaserJockwe didn't really have people who contributed but had no intention of becoming MOTUs07:41
tbielawagood nuight07:41
LaserJockRoAkSoAx: cya, thanks for the chat07:41
RoAkSoAxLaserJock, anytime =) bye07:41
tbielawaI hate to break up the serious discussion07:42

tbielawaIt was on the 'bugs for the week' list when I showed up last weekend. So I took it since it looked easy07:46
LaserJockI was thinking the other day when I was adding you to MOTU Science that it's been over 2 years since I started it07:46
tbielawa:)07:46
tbielawaon the main science motu page there is packages we'd like included07:47
LaserJockthat was a loooong time ago07:47
tbielawaI've got one of them in REVU now :)07:47
LaserJockwhich one?07:47
tbielawaBibus07:47

LaserJockyeah07:47
tbielawaIt was debianized, I just had to clean it up http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=bibus07:47
LaserJockglad to see somebody take it on07:47
LaserJockyeah, when i put it on the list it was the hot new thing on the forums07:48
tbielawanifty07:48
LaserJockand there weren't any package around07:48
tbielawaohhhhh07:48
LaserJockit didn't look like a treat to do07:48
LaserJockbut I'm glad somebody's looked into it :-)07:48
tbielawaI saw the work upstream put into it. the debianization was pretty intense07:49
LaserJockdid you intend to make it a native package?07:49
tbielawaha, ya.... um... I'm working on that part ;)07:49
LaserJockok ;-)07:49
tbielawaThis weekend I'm going to finish that up.07:50
tbielawaI'll have a lot more time starting at 1pm on saturday (EST). My final- final exam is over wish07:50
LaserJockhmm07:51
LaserJockthat packaging is pretty intense07:51
LaserJockI think we'll have some work to do :-)07:51

tbielawaok07:59

mok0_time for you to go to bed too... :-)08:04
tbielawaIf I knew what was good for me08:04
tbielawaHanging out in #-motu is kinda surreal some times to em08:05
tbielawait's strange for me anyway08:05
mok0_yes, it's funny that way08:05
tbielawaThe job I got last fall is with the computer science department, before that job I hadn't used ubuntu08:05
tbielawaI asked my manager where he got all our server names, and he said from posters on planet.ubuntu.com08:05
tbielawaand in the last week I've talked to a few of the people on there that our boxes are named after08:06
mok0_tbielawa: hah!08:06
mok0_tbielawa: so what are the servers' names?08:06
tbielawaholbach I see all the time. I talked to savage last night08:06
tbielawafittl, elep, karsemaker,08:06
tbielawafuchs08:06
tbielawaedwards, denter,08:07
mok0_:-D08:07
tbielawahenstridge08:07
tbielawagod damn henstridge08:07
tbielawathat was our student file server and we were cursing that name afew weeks ago08:07
tbielawabacon, castro, zacchiroli, shuttleworth, helmke, droge.. the list goes on and on08:08
mok0_if the students ever come to IRC, they might be puzzled08:08
tbielawawell, I'm one of them as well, it's pretty neat now that I am hanging out here getitng into the community08:09
mok0_... to see their server chatting along08:09
tbielawalol!08:09
tbielawai have one more of our new machines to build, and our policy is whoever builds it names it.08:10
tbielawahear that folks? want a server named after you then now is the time to suck up :)08:10
mok0_tbielawa: by "build" you mean install os?08:10
StevenKtbielawa: I would, but my name is a crappy machine for a name.08:11
tbielawanope, i have a 1u rack mount case in our server building along with the mobo + hdd + ram, etc ready to inventory, build, and rack08:11
mok0_tbielawa: cool08:11
StevenKcrappy name for a machine. Sigh.08:11
tbielawawhat's your last name?08:12
mok0_tbielawa: what cpu08:12
tbielawamok0_: dual amd opterons, i forget the speed now, but it's a pretty mean box08:12
mok0_tbielawa: we find the best buy to be intels currently08:13
tbielawamok0_: we're considering a shift towards intel hardware specs for our next round of purchases08:14
StevenKtbielawa: /wii will tell you08:14
mok0_tbielawa: you can get dual quads now... 8 CPUs in one...08:15
tbielawaI don't understand this thing!08:15
tbielawathe /wii is beyond me08:15
tbielawaoh baby, dual quads08:15
tbielawaI don't know what we'd do with all those cores, other than consolidate and run a basket of virtualmachines :)08:16
mok0_tbielawa: exactly08:16
tbielawaThe research I'm doing in our shift to a hardy infrastructure is focusing around using KVM to consolidate08:17
mok0_tbielawa: we have delegated a few server tasks to virtual machines (KVM)08:18
mok0_tbielawa: we have delegated a few server tasks to virtual machines (KVM)08:19
tbielawamok0_: do you have much experience setting up the network configurations?08:19
mok0_tbielawa: not much, a bit. I wrote a wiki page on what I did08:20
tbielawaThe hardware we're going to be implementing the virtualizing on has dual ethernet connections, I'd like to consider the practical benefits of utilizing each adapter08:20

gnomefreakpackage wordpress there are 2 depends that are no longer in our repos im huessing they are fairly important. the depends that cant be found are libjs-prototype, libjs-scriptaculous  are these dafe to remove?08:21
tbielawaI've been referencing that thoroughly08:21

ubottuPackage libjs-prototype does not exist in hardy08:25
tbielawaI have no idea man. if it's running without them it might be safe to remove. give it a try08:25
gnomefreaki just set up a wordpress account so i never tested in on hardy08:25

StevenKIt made me feel pretty uncomfortable, and glad I don't blog.08:33
tbielawalol08:33
StevenKIt'd, even08:33
dholbachtbielawa: how is it named? where did you get that idea? ;)08:34
tbielawait wasn't my idea, my manager (ex debian maintainer) decided to name each machine we build after some one from the planet.ubuntu.com site08:34
mok0_so now you understand why you shut down at irregular intervals08:34
tbielawawe run the entire infrastructure (computer science department) off Ubuntu machines08:34

cbx33dholbach: lutin is away for 4 days :(08:38
tbielawadholbach: I think youre about to be depricated!08:38
cbx33so no fixing in sight08:38
dholbachtbielawa: please don't hurt my ego08:38
tbielawalol08:39
dholbachcbx33: you could just follow up on the bug report or forward it upstream if it doesn't happen with the newest SVN snapshot08:39
dholbachcbx33: I even gave you the numbers of SVN commits that are supposed to fix crashers - there are lots of option aside from "waiting for lutin to fix it" :)08:39
cbx33dholbach: well08:40
cbx33I've tried08:40
cbx33compiling from source and that doesn't work either....I'm attacking this on all fronts08:40
cbx33believe me08:40
dholbachcbx33: if the newest svn snapshot shows the same problem, I'd forward the stack trace upstream08:41
cbx33already done08:41
cbx33but it is a different issue in the new SVN08:41
cbx33I think the main problem08:41
cbx33is that 0.6 isn't officially released08:41
cbx330.5 was08:41
cbx330.6 is still being worked on......08:41
cbx33I think we just synced from debian08:41
dholbachyou could package a 0.6.really.is.0.5-0ubuntu1 and try to get that backported08:42
dholbach(if nothing else helps)08:42
cbx33i could, but08:42
cbx33for a start unsermake is no longer in hardy08:42
cbx33so that'd have to be ported to for build deps right?08:42
dholbachyes, it'd help if it built :/08:42
cbx33hey jono08:45
\shdamn...is there any mirror which is not outdated or broken like a.u.c.?08:59
sorenI'm quite happy with se.a.u.c.09:02
gnomefreaki use de and they work09:03
* StevenK blinks. uk.a.u.c gives an IP that reverses to ubuntu.datahop.it.09:05
gnomefreakwhere would the menu item for wordpress be once installed?09:05
gnomefreaki think i fixed it i just cant find it09:05
wgrantgnomefreak: ... Wordpress is a webapp.09:07
gnomefreakwgrant: thanks im working on figuring it out now09:08
gnomefreakwhere would i find it it doesnt seem to be anywhere. a true web app you should find something about it alteast on wordpress.com or in browser menu i would think09:10
gnomefreakno info from terminal at all just says commandnot found when i run it as wordpress and wordpress --help and than man wordpress doesnt have  aman page09:12
gnomefreaki would have thought it would be in the add to panel menu when right clicking top panel09:13
wgrantgnomefreak: It is a webapp! Why would it have a binary in the path, a panel applet, or a browser menu item?09:14
gnomefreakbecause its a webblog manager and that is how the rest of them work09:15
wgrantNo, it is a blog webapp.09:15
wgrantNot like blogtk or whatever it is.09:15
gnomefreakDescription: weblog manager  from show wordpress09:16
wgrantRight, your definition of weblog manager is biased.09:16
gnomefreakwgrant: so ther eis no way to run it is what you saying (it wont edit my blog from DE09:17
wgrantNo. That's not at all what it is designed for.09:17
gnomefreakweblog manager to me would be drivel and friends09:17
wgrantThat might be a blog client.09:18
gnomefreakso with this im gonna have to go to wordpress.com for it to help me at all?09:18
wgrantWhat?09:19
wgrantNo.09:19
wgrantWordpress is a blog webapp. You run it on a web server.09:19
gnomefreakoh that sucks09:19
wgrant...09:19
wgrantWhy?09:19
gnomefreakatleast i fixed the depends on it and built it :)09:19
gnomefreakwgrant: im not running a server09:20
wgrantBuilt it?09:20
wgrantIt's PHP.09:20
wgrantNo building.09:20
gnomefreakwgrant: the package we had in repos had 2 depends that no longer exsited09:20
wgrantWhere do you expect to host a blog if you're not running a server?09:20
wgrantgnomefreak: Which release?09:20
gnomefreakwgrant: yes very much packaging09:20
gnomefreak2.5.1-2ubuntu109:21
gnomefreaki removed the 2 libs and it built fine09:21
gnomefreakand installed09:21
gnomefreakwould have liked to have tested it before pushing to PPA09:21
wgrantThat's in intrepid. What do you expect?09:21
gnomefreakwgrant: hardy doesnt have them either09:22
gnomefreakmakes me think it hasnt worked in a while09:22
wgrantI meant that version is in intrepid.09:22
gnomefreakwgrant: right09:22
wgrantRegrettably, wordpress installs fine in Hardy.09:22
wgrantYou can't expect an intrepid version to work on hardy.09:22
gnomefreakwgrant: afaik libjs-prototype, libjs-scriptaculous are not in hardy and it has them as depends09:23
gnomefreakso it shouldnt install if it didnt here09:24
gnomefreak!info libjs-scriptaculous hardy09:24
ubottuPackage libjs-scriptaculous does not exist in hardy09:24
wgrantgnomefreak: wordpresss 2.5 is not in Hardy!09:24

RainCTjoh: little question, have you followed the example from PackagingGuide/HOWTOS for the POD manpages?14:55
RainCTs/manpages/manpage14:55
RainCTjoh: Anyway, good work, on a quick lock I can't find any real problem. Just some insignificant things:15:05
RainCTjoh: debian/rules has some unneeded commented-out examples; debian/copyright *might* have a wrong encoding (but it may also be just my browser) (and I usualy prefer linking to '.../GPL' (without the -2) if it is "or later" but you can do whatever you want); the Closes in debian/changelog is not needed an is usualy not written;15:05
RainCTjoh: and FYI, in debian/control you could use " ." to leave an empty line between the two paragraphs (but that might not be what you want, just telling your for the case you didn't know)15:05
RainCTjoh: ah, there is a "package = hello15:05
RainCT" in debian/rules.. what does that do there? :P15:05
slytherinwhen does MoM updates its reports?15:20
johRainCT: Thanks for your comments! (And sorry for this late reply)15:22
johRainCT: Regarding the manpage I followed this template: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#head-be1e4a635cbcf6a0bf2ff344a99ca45cc87ae17a15:23
johRainCT: The commented-out examples you're referring to are the docbook-to-man & friends, right?15:24
johRainCT: The license needs to be GPLv2 as far as I know as I borrow some code from other GPLv2 apps.15:25
johRainCT: I was asked to refer to the LP bug report somehow and figured a closes bug comment in changelog would be appropriate. Is there any other way this could be done?15:25
slytherinjoh: I think he meant Closes word is unnecessary. Just LP: #xxxxxx is sufficient.15:28
johslytherin: Ah I see, thanks15:30
persiaRegarding the use of "Closes LP: #nnnnnn", the "closes" is not just unnecessary, but actively discouraged, as it can lead to confusion with the syntax for closing Debian bugs, and it is preferred that these be easily separable during changelog review.15:33
johOk, so I should rather use "Initial release (#nnnnnn)" ?15:34
johErr, "LP: #nnnnnn"15:35

DarkSun88hi all20:47
DarkSun88xlibs-dev in hardy there isn't?20:47
RoAkSoAxDarkSun88, check it: packages.ubuntu.com and search it in the hardy repos, if it does not appear there... means that it is not20:48
sebnerRoAkSoAx: pciutils are now in intrepid ;)20:49
DarkSun88i'm already tryed, there isn't20:49
james_wDarkSun88: correct20:49
DarkSun88but the name is different?20:50
RoAkSoAxsebner, so can i go ahead and post sync bug for athcool ?20:50
sebnerRoAkSoAx: after checking, yes ;)20:50
RoAkSoAxsebner, what should i check?? ( i guess it have not been updated on the repos cuz i can't the pciutils-dev (>= 1:2.2.10) version just yet)20:52
DarkSun88see you soon :)20:52
DarkSun88thanks a lot20:53
sebnerRoAkSoAx: I may be wrong and it isn't a sync ;) 1:3.0.0-3 is in intrepid now or at least should hit the archive soon20:54
RoAkSoAxsebner, ok so as soon it hits i'll check xD20:54
sebnerRoAkSoAx: no need. After you filed the sync bug it will take some days to process it so please go aheas20:55
sebner*ahead20:55
sebnerhuhu norsetto :)20:55
norsettosebner: how is the merging?20:56
RoAkSoAxsebner, ok so i just file the sync bug, with what description ??  "Since pciutils-dev (1:3.0.0-3) is in the archivo, Ubuntu changes can be dropped" ??20:56
sebnernorsetto: well haven't done anything since I had stress in school. but I'm finalizing the courier merge now20:56
sebnerRoAkSoAx: yes. but you can't trust my words. Ok I'm quite sure that it's a sync but a double check is always better20:57
RoAkSoAxsebner, i will :)20:57
sebnerRoAkSoAx: fine :)20:58
Jazzvapochu: Seems that liferea works fine :). I'll clean up, report a merge request and let you know once it's up, so you can review it20:58
norsettoRoAkSoAx: whats the problem with pciutils-dev?20:58
sebnernorsetto: what's wrong if I have a big debdiff and I want to patch debian package. It cries because debian rules is malformated but if I extract the rules diff thing I can patch it without problems20:59
norsettosebner: some specifics could help me to understand what you are talking about20:59
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, the other day i was trying to merge "athcool", but in the last hardy changelog (which was done by sebner) says that: "Note: If the package pciutils (>= 1:2.2.10) is in Intrepid we can drop all remaining changes and make a sync.". So since sebner just told me version  pciutils-dev (1:3.0.0-3) is in the archive... i have to check it before filling a sync bug21:00
sebnernorsetto: ^^. Ok I' merging courier now and I have a big debdiff. Now I want to see if the debdiff is working so I download the debian source pakage and apply the debdiff. But it complains that debian/rules can't be patched -> malformated. If I extract the debian rules patch from the debdiff I can apply it without problems21:00
sebnerRoAkSoAx: well not only pciutils. All the other things also ^^21:01
norsettoRoAkSoAx: how can pciutils-dev (1:3.0.0-3) be in the archive!?21:01
sebnernorsetto: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pciutils21:01
RoAkSoAxsebner, yeah i know i have to check everything, to see if there are no more UBuntu changes xD, right?21:02
sebnerRoAkSoAx: fine ^^21:02
norsettosebner, RoAkSoAx: thats the source package, the pciutils-dev package has been replaced21:03
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, that's why i told sebner that i can't see that version on: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pciutils&searchon=names&suite=intrepid&section=all21:03
norsettoRoAkSoAx: its been renamed to libpci-dev21:05
sebnerRoAkSoAx: see, you can't trust my words xD21:05
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, can't find it here either: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=intrepid&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libpci-dev21:05
norsettosebner: what is the exact error message?21:06
sebnernorsetto: patch: **** malformed patch at line 1488: diff -Nru courier-0.59.0/debian/rules courier-0.59.0/debian/rules21:06
norsettoRoAkSoAx: libpci-dev |  1:3.0.0-3 |      intrepid | amd64, i38621:06
norsettosebner: and what is in that line?21:07
sebnerwell at least it's really version 1:3.0 :)21:07
emgent  o21:07
emgentO/21:07
emgenthi norsetto :P21:07
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, i guess it has not been updated yet... so i just merge and change the build-Depends from pciutils-dev to libpci-dev ?21:07
norsettoemgent: ./21:07
sebnernorsetto: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11172/  <-- first line21:07
sebnernorsetto: As I said if I extract that in a single patch it applies without problems21:08
norsettoRoAkSoAx: yes, its better, it may not ftbfs if you don't change it (if it is Provided by libpci-dev) but its better to have it explicitely.21:09
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, ok thanks i'll try it then :)21:09
norsettosebner: that line is funny indeed21:09
sebnerRoAkSoAx: As I said. Check everything ^^21:10
sebnernorsetto: ^^ -> :(21:10
RoAkSoAxsebner, i will xD21:10
norsettosebner: how could you do that? It seems that you are diffing the same file21:10
norsettosebner: how it is for the other chunks?21:11
slytherinwhen does MoM usually update it's reports?21:11
sebnernorsetto: the others are working. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11175/21:12
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, i have these conflicts: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11176/ should i keep debian changes?21:12
norsettosebner: I understand, my question is, how is the header for the other files?21:12
sebnernorsetto: exactly the same ;)21:12
slytherinsebner: I suggest that you change into the directory of extracted source package and then do patch -p1 < some.debdiff21:13
slytherinsebner: That is the procedure I usually follow21:13
sebnerslytherin: not p1 ?21:13
norsettoRoAkSoAx: why did we add libz there?21:13
sebnerslytherin: äh. p021:13
sebnernorsetto: before and after example. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11177/21:14
slytherinsebner: if you change into the source root, as opposed to outside source, you will need p121:14
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, because of this: Depend on pciutils-dev (>= 1:2.2.10) and pkg-config, and use21:14
RoAkSoAx    "pkg-config --libs libpci" to build statically with the correct21:14
RoAkSoAx    libraries. (Closes: #445016, #450447)21:14
RoAkSoAxthat's in the debian changelog21:15
norsettoRoAkSoAx: I understand that, my question is why did we add the -lz switch? Thats a diff we have with Debian21:16
norsettoRoAkSoAx: check the ubuntu changelog, hopefully it is there21:16
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, here:  Patched Makefile to link against zlib (added -lz)21:17
RoAkSoAxthat's in Fiesty changelog21:17
norsettoRoAkSoAx: right, so check why (there should hopefully be a bug reference) and if it is still needed21:18
sebnerslytherin: same mistake21:18
norsettosebner: how did you do the debdiff?21:18
sebnernorsetto: ehm. like everydebdiff. debdiff debian ubuntu > test.debdiff21:19
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, and they - Added zlib1g-dev to build-deps (in fiesty aswell) but debian does not use that zlib1g-dev21:19
norsettosebner: where?21:19
sebnernorsetto: where the files are ^^21:20
norsettosebner: I think you might be missing something, perhaps interdiff21:20
sebnernorsetto: hmm. never needed that before21:20
norsettosebner: did you install patchutils?21:21
sebnernorsetto: no -.- damn hardy reinstall. but why isn't a plain debdiff enough?21:22
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, there is no bug reference for that in the UBungu changelog21:23
norsettoRoAkSoAx: try to search in launchpad21:23
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, these are all the bugs ever reported for athcool and none of them is related to that: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/athcool/+bugs?search=Search&field.status=New&field.status=Incomplete&field.status=Confirmed&field.status=Triaged&field.status=In+Progress&field.status=Fix+Committed&field.status=Fix+Released&field.status=Invalid&field.status=Won%27t+Fix&field.omit_dupes.used=21:26
sebnernorsetto: wuhu. running debuild again and again made it working. That's the magic of opensource =)21:27
sebnerRoAkSoAx: I was in the same situation. I asked \sh but can't remember the answer now21:29
sebnerRoAkSoAx: he introduced these things21:29
RoAkSoAxsebner, so i guess i'll have to wait for him21:30
sebnerRoAkSoAx: I think so21:31
norsettoRoAkSoAx: if you don't know why ask the uploader that made that change21:31
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, yep i'll have to wait for \sh to come online21:31
norsettoRoAkSoAx: also, check in the upstream docs or sources if libz is needed21:32
norsettoRoAkSoAx: you can also check the binaries with ldd to see if it is linked at runtime21:32
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, ok thanks =)21:36
RoAkSoAxweird i can't find it with apt-cache search :S21:36
norsettoRoAkSoAx: what?21:38

RoAkSoAxi can see it in packages.ubuntu.com but can't install it cause it does not find it21:38

RoAkSoAxnorsetto, could you help me with other thing?? i was trying to merge alsa-tools, and crimsum told me to apply this before reporting the bug: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-tools/raw-rev/9d1e48f8dd5d  ... but i've checked in the Hardy source and that change is already there... so... should i apply it?21:42
norsettoRoAkSoAx: this could be the reason: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pciutils/+bug/8743621:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 87436 in pciutils "pciutils-dev possibly somewhat broken in feisty?" [Undecided,New]21:43
psusisay, I could have sworn you used to be able to mark bugs as depending on other ones in launchpad... has this feature been removed or can I just not find it?21:46
crimsunRoAkSoAx: no, the change that I mentioned most definitely does not exist in the hardy source package.21:46
crimsunRoAkSoAx: you should apply it for intrepid.21:47
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, ok, i've checked in the source package used in hardy, that i downloaded from: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/alsa-tools/1.0.15-2ubuntu4 and checked the same file for those lines... so that's i thought that change was already...21:49
RoAkSoAxand those lines are:  channel_map = meter_map_ds;21:49
RoAkSoAx dest_map = dest_map_ds;21:49
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, so anyways, how do i apply it, do i just manually add those changes to the debdiff?21:49
crimsunRoAkSoAx: no, please use the existing patch management system.21:49
crimsunRoAkSoAx: are you familiar with quilt (and/or have you read pitti's overview of patch management systems)?21:50

gesersebner: gnubiff uploaded22:15
crimsunRoAkSoAx: the change is subtle; don't be confused by the surrounding lines22:15
sebnergeser: cool thanks. but if I were you I wouldn't upload that much for me. Otherwise you'll become me upload victim number 1 ;-P22:16
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, ok that patch has to be applying in all "CASE 1", of every ELSE condition??22:18
crimsunRoAkSoAx: I hope you're not attempting to do it by hand :)22:19
gesersebner: it would only make my job as MC easier as I wouldn't need to review your debdiffs for your MOTU application anymore :)22:19

gesernorsetto: do you think 587 merges are enough to prove that sebner is ready for MOTU? :)22:24
norsettosebner: because is dangerous ...22:24

jdongLaserJock: you might wanna check with the bzr folk about the diff-on-no-changes behavior... I can't recall exactly but I believe I was told that the other VCSes used some corner-cutting method of assuming if a file had been modified or not?22:31
sebnernorsetto: Why I'm having a feeling that tells me that you would need mental health care after working with me? ^^22:31
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, ok i did all of this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11188/ is it correct?22:31
Amaranthnorsetto: Hey, the metal of our pennies is worth more than a penny22:31
crimsunRoAkSoAx: that is one correct method, yes.22:32
Amaranthjdong: perhaps the mtime of the directory?22:32
nxvlRoAkSoAx: quilt is kewl22:32
* nxvl loves quilt22:32
LaserJockjdong: yeah, that's right22:32
jdongAmaranth: I believe it had to do with mtimes22:32
LaserJockjdong: but apparently all the other VCSs I've seen cut the same corners ;-)22:32
Amaranthbzr actually diffs everything, everything else checks mtimes22:32
crimsunbzr does it correctly here, IMO22:33
jdongAmaranth: and the fact the penny costs more to manufacture than represent is not that big of a deal....22:33
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, ok, so my changelog will be like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11189/ is it correct?22:33
jdongAmaranth: pennies are (gasp) reusable for many transactions22:33
Amaranthjdong: Not more to manufacture, the metal itself is worth more than a penny22:33
RoAkSoAxnxvl, haha but nice PDF you've got on packaging101 :D22:33
Amaranthjdong: Apparently we're going to use steel pennies again due to this22:33
jdongAmaranth: we need all digital currency.22:34

Amaranthno, evil22:34
crimsunRoAkSoAx: that is a bit more verbose than necessary but not incorrect.22:34

Amaranthdigital currency makes it easy to spend more than you want and easy for others to track your spending22:34

LaserJocknorsetto: yes22:35
crimsunpennies are very useful.22:35
norsettonorsetto: yes22:35
jdongnorsetto: if you pay cash they must give you exact change back.22:35
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, ok should i strip it out by removing the names of the one who made the changes???22:35
jdongnorsetto: and you cannot buy a $1.01 item with $1 either22:35
Amaranthnorsetto: Yep22:35
crimsunRoAkSoAx: that's one acceptable approach.22:36
Amaranthnorsetto: I know in Europe they like to steal your pennies but not here22:36
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, anything else?22:36
Amaranths/pennies/one euro cents/22:36
nxvlRoAkSoAx: oh! the presentation, yes, i summarize PackagingGuide/PatchSystems in there22:36
nxvland add some thing myself22:36
crimsunwe declare pennies tools of terrorists.22:36
jdongtoo bad you can't melt them for copper :)22:36
crimsunRoAkSoAx: well, yes.  build it, install it, test it.22:36
jdongwhat 2% copper they still contain.22:37
AmaranthThat's a felony22:37
Amaranthiirc the metal in a penny is worth $0.0322:37
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, thank you very much for you help, i really appreciate it!! :D22:37
crimsunRoAkSoAx: yw22:37
jdongAmaranth: last I heard was 1.2 cents22:37
psusiyea, they are mostly zinc... just copper plated22:37
RoAkSoAxnxvl, link me to all your presentations22:37
norsettothis reminds me when I called europe from the states from a phone boot22:37
Amaranthjdong: I guess I got my info from someone bad at rounding22:37
nxvlRoAkSoAx: there are on nvalcarcel.aureal.com.pe/stuff22:37
jdongAmaranth: but again, there's nothing silly about the fact that the penny costs more than it's worth.22:38
nxvlRoAkSoAx: but i don't remember which ones i have in there22:38
nxvl:D22:38
psusiit's fun to file off the edge a bit and drop one in a glass of lye and watch the zinc insides disolve and hollow out22:38
jdongAmaranth: because each penny is likely to be used many many times before it is discarded22:38
Amaranthjdong: That bit of economics still does my head in22:38
psusiit is silly because people will stop using them for pennies and melt them down for the metal ;)22:38
LaserJockwe were just talking about the penny situation in my group meeting this morning22:39
LaserJockwe have some copper bars in the lab22:39
LaserJockand we're not sure what to do with them, but they're pretty valuable now so we're keeping them22:39
RoAkSoAxnxvl, haha ok i'll download em22:39
psusialso it costs the gov't millions to produce them22:39
Amaranthjdong: The bit where spending $10 contributes $50 to the economy or some such thing22:39
RoAkSoAxnxvl, it says Not Found22:40
* jdong still thinks digital money will be the cheapest :)22:40
jdongWindows LiveMoney22:40
jdong(tm)22:40
crimsunI wonder if anyone is returning his incentive from the treasury.22:40
Amarantheh?22:40
nxvlRoAkSoAx: it isn't browsable22:40
crimsunthe $600 or whatever.22:40
Amaranthreturning it?22:40
jdongit's a part of $5000 going into a 36-month CD for me.22:41
crimsunyes, returning it22:41
nxvlRoAkSoAx: but it's called packaging101.pdf IIRC22:41
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, and how to test it?? install a VM with Intrepid, enable sound and test it??22:41
LaserJockI'm gonna pay bills with it22:41
AmaranthI don't get one, I owed money for taxes22:41
emgentheya nxvl :)22:41
jdongit was either a CD or a laser jammer.22:41
crimsunRoAkSoAx: if you have hardware that uses it, sure22:41
jdongand at the last moment I decided to do the sensible thing22:41
Amaranthjdong: I would have gotten the laser jammer22:41
jdongor the Asian thing as people told me.22:42
RoAkSoAxnxvl, merging101.pdf too?22:42
crimsunI refuse to cash the check.22:42
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, other ways to test it?22:42
jdongAmaranth: yeah but I still have $2500 liquid cash + $100/wk. The jammer can STILL work out.22:42
jdongAmaranth: considering that there's a new shiny car waiting when I get home....22:42
norsettois ff3 really that bad?22:42
jdongAmaranth: and it just so needs "front" and "rear" "parking sensors"22:42
Amaranthff3 got me to stop using epiphany22:42
crimsunnorsetto: compared with what?  IE 3?22:43
Amaranthasac was thankful22:43
norsettocrimsun: well, ff2 I would say22:43
jdongnorsetto: in general I've found it to be good except (1) that nasty fixed sqlite bug (2) the new instability of Flash for some reason22:43
jdong#2 is not really Mozilla's fault though22:43
Amaranthjdong: uninstall libflashsupport22:43
jdongAmaranth: I did.22:43
Amaranthor figure out how to setup nspluginwrapper22:43
jdongAmaranth: now it only crashes 5% of the time rather than 95%22:43
jdongAmaranth: and yeah I'm setting up nspluginwrapper now.22:43
AmaranthI installed swfdec22:44
crimsunyou can also use UWashington's flashproxy.22:44
AmaranthScrew it, I only watch youtube and huffington post videos anyway22:44
crimsunthey could use some testing; I've already sent them some bug fixes.22:44
LaserJockI've never had FF3 crash22:44
psusiwhy would you not cache your return check?22:44
=== Czessi_ is now known as Czessi
nxvlRoAkSoAx: yes, maybe22:45
crimsunpsusi: because it's worthless to cash it.22:45
jdongAmaranth: the other day I was watching 150 or so laser jammer test videos (cough)... I had concurrent firefox profiles running to cycle between crashed ones.22:45
psusicrimsun: mine was worth $60022:46
crimsunpsusi: sure.  I'm a bit more concerned about its long term effect.22:46
Amaranthpsusi: Thank the Chinese government for the money :)22:46
psusiAmaranth: indeed22:47
* RoAkSoAx is going to wath iron man xD22:47
jdongAmaranth: we've outsourced thanking China to India.22:47
psusisaw that last night... was great22:47
crimsunbesides, the 600$ isn't really "mine"; it just goes back to my employer.22:47
psusiit's yours if you cash the checque22:47
crimsunno, I fall under something called "invasive monitoring."  Nothing I own is really mine.22:48
* psusi wonders what drugs were in that cool aid22:48
crimsunsome people employed by gigantenormous banks experience it, too22:48
LaserJockhow nice :/22:48
Amaranththat's...weird22:49
crimsunRoAkSoAx: you might want to use bzr for that source packaging, BTW22:50
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, how come?22:51
crimsunRoAkSoAx: makes managing source packages more efficient in some workloas22:52
crimsunworkloads*22:52
* norsetto wonders how he could do without regexes until now22:54
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, so i should use bzr to work with source packagin with alsa-tools or while learning packaging?22:54
crimsunRoAkSoAx: while learning packaging is a good tie-in22:55
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, ok cool i'll read more about it... thanks fro the advice22:55
RoAkSoAxcrimsun, any link that you'll recommed me to read about that?22:58
crimsunRoAkSoAx: james_w did a session IIRC22:59
crimsunseems https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekhardy/Bazaar22:59
RoAkSoAxok thanks =)23:00
james_wRoAkSoAx: I'd be happy to help you with any problems that you may encounter.23:00
RoAkSoAxjames_w, i appreciate that =), i'll read your session of the OpenWeek and after that i'll loading you up with question :P23:01
james_wI look forward to it :-)23:01
LaserJockI need to get my butt in gear and start using VCS for packaging23:09
LaserJockI just haven't gotten the hang of it23:10
crimsundon't feel too bad; I just today uploaded my first set with XS-Debian-Vcs-*23:10
LaserJockheh23:11
norsettoanyone knows what will happen to puc?23:11
LaserJockI guess mostly my problem is that I rarely work on the same package23:11
LaserJockso it's rather pointless to use a VCS if you're not really going to use it23:12
LaserJockjames_w: does bzr build-deb work with svn repos?23:12
LaserJockif you're using bzr-svn23:12
james_wLaserJock: yes, it should.23:13
nxvlyou can package using bzr?23:13
* nxvl looks23:13
james_wjelmer has sent me patch that makes it detect mergeWithUpstream property and switch modes based on that, but I haven't applied it yet.23:13
james_whi nxvl23:13
nxvlhi!23:14
=== RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx
LaserJockjames_w: I mean packages that are maintained in svn23:16
LaserJocknot svn upstreams23:16
james_wLaserJock: yes, should work.23:16
james_wif it doesn't work then let me know, there may need to be some more trickery employed to make it seamless.23:17
LaserJockalso, what you call merge mode would be what I would think of as Normal mode23:18
LaserJockdo you have any idea on just how many people use one over the other?23:18
james_wno, I don't.23:19
james_wI think full source is the best way to go. I used to think otherwise.23:20
LaserJockmost packaging repos I've seen just do debian/23:24
LaserJockother than TeX, and their svn repo is 20GB and takes hours to check out :-)23:24

Jazzvapochu: uploading debdiffs (between debian and ubuntu new, and ubuntu old and ubuntu new, with and without po changes (Someone once told me I should upload only without po files, but I wasn't really sure)). Anyway, first one is uploaded... it's gonna take another few minutes for the rest, since debdiffs are a bit larger.23:48
JazzvaThat 99_autoconf patch has 1.5MB...23:49
LaserJocksounds about right23:50
Jazzvapochu: I'll be around for two more hours for sure, in case you have any questions/suggestions about changes :)23:50
LaserJocklast autoconf patch I read was 1.49MB23:50
JazzvaLaserJock: That's huge... oh, well.23:51
LaserJockthat's auto*23:52
Jazzvaand that's a plus :)23:52
