tbielawaRoAkSoAx: hello06:29
RoAkSoAxhow you doing06:30
tbielawaquite well. i slept allllllllllllll day06:30
tbielawauntil about 10 pm06:30
tbielawaYou?06:30
RoAkSoAxhahaha me well i slept till noon06:31
RoAkSoAxthen all day being eating and drinking beer till 9pm06:31
tbielawasounds like a good sunday06:31
RoAkSoAxyeah mother's day06:32
tbielawamy mission, is to implement a patch system into this package06:32
RoAkSoAx?06:34
tbielawai've heard different things about different systems06:34
tbielawaLaserJock suggested dpatch06:34
tbielawasome people use quilt06:34
RoAkSoAxwhich package are you working on?06:35
tbielawabibus. it's a bibliography database program that integrates with open office well06:35
RoAkSoAxtbielawa, and you packaging it from scratch?06:36
tbielawaRoAkSoAx: I got lucky, upstream did most of the debianization. i had to clean it up a bit and fix some stuff like the FSF address06:37
RoAkSoAxwel you have 3 ways to patch a system, CDBS, quilt and dpatch06:37
RoAkSoAxi've used quilt and CDBS once.. but never dpatch06:38
tbielawaI've seen mixed feelings about introducing CDBS into a package.06:39
RAOFYou really don't want to do that just to introduce a patch system!06:39
tbielawanot at all!06:39
tbielawaI think the debian people especially take a tistaste to cdbs06:40
tbielawa*distaste06:40
RAOFSome do, certianly.06:40
RAOFAnd now that debhelper 7 is so fantastically awesome, I don't think I'll be using cdbs again.06:40
RAOF</hyperbole>06:41
tbielawa"fantastically awesome"06:41
tbielawaI <3 that aspell didn't have a problem with 'fantastically'06:41
RAOFAnyway, hooking up a debhelper package with dpatch is pretty easy.06:42
tbielawawhat i saw int he man page made me think I'm supposed to create a patch with a different structure. I'm not sure yet. I haven't gone about and made any efforts at putting in dpatch06:43
RAOFA dpatch is fundamentally just an ordinary patch with a dpatch-run shebang line on the top.06:43
tbielawaoh snap!06:44
RoAkSoAxRAOF, any good documentation to read about it?06:44
RAOFRoAkSoAx: Um... not that I can remember.06:45
RAOFBasically dpatch-edit-patch is your friend.06:46
RoAkSoAxguess i'll be reading the debian documentation then...06:46
tbielawahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#head-f7dc7195e4b5c19179ca622d8a37e2143c9248d506:46
RoAkSoAxtbielawa, i've been trhough that already.. i really need to read all the packaging guide again since im not that much familiarized with debian/ubuntu packaging06:47
* tbielawa nods06:47
* RoAkSoAx is just starting with linux development since in Perú is all MS stuff...06:48
RAOFRoAkSoAx: As far as incorporating that into a package, "include /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make" will give you patch: and unpatch: targets for your debian/rules.06:49
RoAkSoAxok cool thanks RAOF =)06:49
RoAkSoAxRAOF, and in Build-depends i have to add dpatch right?06:53
RAOFYup.06:53
RoAkSoAxkk thank =)06:55
tbielawaso much to learn06:56
RoAkSoAxtbielawa, yeah.. do they teach you linux and/or debian development in WVU?06:57
tbielawaRoAkSoAx: sorta06:57
tbielawaRoAkSoAx: all our systems run linux so our professors teach based in unix environments.06:58
tbielawaRoAkSoAx: as a student worker for the CS department I use packaging each day06:58
RoAkSoAxtbielawa, lucky you, i have to struggle with MS ... here is mostly MS development and that kind of stuff06:58
* tbielawa dies a little inside06:59
RoAkSoAxtbielawa, yeah here is all MS stuff... just the ones who love Linux are the ones who likes to get our hands dirty :D07:00
RoAkSoAxwell i'm going to sleep... bye guys thanks =)07:03
pwnguinso... eclipse cdt sucks09:03
pwnguinand i have a good idea why09:04
pwnguinversion: eclipse-cdt (3.1.2-1) last upload:  Sun, 17 Jun 2007 19:41:02 +000009:04
pwnguin4.0 was released like 10 days later =(09:06
pwnguindoes anyone know of a page similar to p.d.o for fedora? im curious what versions they're shipping09:12
\shpwnguin: rpmfind?09:13
pwnguinisn't that a getdeb?09:15
\shpwnguin: actually it's a searchengine... for all rpm based distros...but with selecting fedora only and the release of fedora you should get a result you need...or just check the archives of fedora...09:16
\sh(smart is also a possibility, add the yum repos of fedora to smart and smart search ;))09:16

proppyI got E: pbuilder-satisfydepends failed. http://pastebin.com/m77a27e6710:30
proppydoes this mean that these dependencies are not available in intrepid10:31
proppyhttp://pastebin.com/m3e38ef19 ?10:31
slytherinproppy: May be your chroot is broken. When did you last upgrade it?10:33
proppylike 2 days ago,10:34
proppymaybe 310:34
proppyI wonder if the universe sources, is added when you pbuilder --build10:34
slytherinproppy: Depends on your pbuilderrc. Check COMPONENTS, by default it is only main. When you change it you will have to do pbuilder update --override-config10:35
proppyW: /home/proppy/.pbuilderrc does not exist10:36
proppy:)10:36

proppyin the chroot10:36
slytherinproppy: On a closer look, looks like you mighte be correct about dependencies. libdbi-perl (line 152 in your first pastebin) and others will perhaps need rebuild against latest perl (5.10)10:41
\shhmm..if a .desktop file and an icon is shipped, shouldn't we call somehow dh_desktop/dh_icons?10:42
proppyslytherin: running pbuilder --update as you suggested10:42
slytherin\sh: yes we should10:43
\shemgent: please fix esperanza10:43
gnomefreaksetting up normal chroot for intrepid it only give syou one repo i saw that the other day :(10:43
slytheringnomefreak: it is not specific to intrepid, it has been like that always10:44
gnomefreakslytherin: ah i set up hardy and intrepid and intrepid was only one10:44
slytheringnomefreak: were you using two different pbuilderrc files?10:44
proppyslytherin: thanks for reviewing the pbuilder.log10:44
gnomefreakslytherin: no pbuilder at all just dchroot (yes i know its outdated but its easier for me than shroot :)10:45
gnomefreaki have yet had any luck with pbuilder and mozilla and since most of my packaging is mozilla no need for pbuilder10:46
proppyslytherin: better only 3 unmet-dep left http://pastebin.com/m3dc8fbee10:46
slytheringnomefreak: Ok. Then we are talking about two different things here. :-)10:47
gnomefreaksame result 2 ways of getting it10:47
proppyshould I fill bug for each of them ?10:47
slytherinproppy: same result. file a bug fir first two with subject 'needs rebuild against latest perl'10:47
proppyslytherin: and this one need a looser gcc version rules ? libffi4: Depends: gcc-4.2-base (= 4.2.3-2ubuntu7) but 4.2.3-4ubuntu1 is installed.10:49
slytherinproppy: I am not sure about last one libffi4, perhaps it needs a sync/merge.10:49

slytherinHi all, I am trying to merge jigdo. Last debian changelog entry says that a fix for FTBFS with gcc-4.3 was added. But I don't see a seperate patch for it. Instead it seems like the source has been patched directly. Is this acceptable?14:52
\shslytherin: if there is no patch system applied, yes..diff.gz source changes are welcome14:53
jdongslytherin: the practice isn't encouraged but is acceptable14:54
\shjdong: hmm?14:55
slytherin\sh: there was a patch system in place in Ubuntu (not in Debian). The patch in ubuntu is unnecessary in Debian, it changes the set of default mirrors.14:55
\shslytherin: patch system == dpatch, quilt, simple-patchsys?  who made the diff.gz patch then?14:56

slytherin\sh: I know what you meant by patch system. Let me explain problem properly. The last ubuntu version has a patch, using dpatch, to change default mirrors. The latest change in Debian adds an FTBFS fix but instead of using a patch system they directly patched source files. Thus the changes they did are not available in a a separate patch (only in diff.gz).14:58
broonieslytherin: How is this any different to syncing a Debian package in teh normal course of affairs?14:59
=== danielm_ is now known as danielm
slytherinbroonie: not much different. I just wanted to know if this is acceptible as I thought directly patching the source was not good practice.15:00
broonieIt's entirely normal in Debian.15:00
brooniePatch systems are a (relatively) recent innovation and many packages don't use them at all.15:05
brooniePutting the patch into a patch system would introduce an additional diff into Ubuntu with no real content.15:05
slytherinbroonie: hmm, so I will leave it as it is15:06

LaneyIs there a python-launchpad-bugs API reference anywhere?15:07

slytherinHobbsee: I am not quite sure I understand your response. Can you put it in words. :-P15:47
Hobbseeslytherin: sure, but not on a publically logged channel.15:47
Hobbseeslytherin: yell at heno, and encourage him to actually find a solution, rather than "we don't like the bugtracker being used for workflow bugs, therefore we refuse to have any documentation about them.  How about you set all bugs to triaged, so that the bugsquad will leave them alone?"15:49
ScottKlaga: Maybe.  It's the kind of thing such programs promote.  Volume over substance.15:49
* Hobbsee even wrote the bloody documentation!15:49
Hobbseeand heno reverted it, citing non-existant, or private discussions being held about them.15:49
* geser wonders why the workflow bugs cause problems right now. They exist since I started to contribute to Ubuntu and have caused much problems till now.15:52

Hobbseeslytherin: i did that.  heno, in his infinite wisdom, reverted it.15:53

stgraberhey, What's the current correct way of doing version update for universe packages ? (debdiff/interdiff/revu/... ?)15:56
slytherinstratus: you mean upstream version update? Just attach diff.gz15:57
HobbseeScottK: if you do it via ML, it leaves a paper trail.15:57
slytherinHobbsee: +115:57
HobbseeScottK: which, assuming they *do* discuss it at UDS, rather than just using it to sidestep the entire issue, they have concrete, hard evidence.15:58
stgraberslytherin: ok, so I open a bug, attach .diff.gz and subscribe the sponsor group ?15:58
slytherinstgraber: yes15:58
stgraberok, thanks15:58
ScottKHobbsee: I'll just go with the call people who do such things to my bugs idiots until they learn to leave them alone approach.15:58
HobbseeScottK: there are an awful lot of triagers.  it may be less effort to go the other way.15:59
ScottKYes, but more fun.15:59
HobbseeScottK: it's not more fun to blast heno over the mailing list, for attempting to sweep things under the carpet?15:59
Hobbseebesides, having a go at people who aren't allowed to learn any better, before they screw up, doesn't seem fair.16:00
Hobbseeit would make more sense to have a go at the people who are *preventing* them from learning better, before they fail.16:00
Hobbseemaybe it's just my background, but i've found that complaining to the right person tends to be more effective :)16:01
ScottKWell I thought I'd done that already in discussing it with bdmurray, but I guess not.16:01
Hobbseeand stops you getting pulled up in front of the CC, where, at least in the examined case, it seems that the decisions are definetly in favour of the complainee, and where only selective proof is viewed.16:02
Hobbseebut hey, maybe the irc people just got their bad side that day, or something.16:03
HobbseeScottK: if it's not public, it didn't happen.16:03
ScottKIRC channels are logged, so if push comes to shove, it's public.16:03

james_wRoAkSoAx: either one should work.17:29
james_wyou can put the full details in the patch description, and just mention the patch came from upstream in the changelog.17:30
RoAkSoAxjames_w, i put this in the changelog: Added fix_channel_map_adat_speed_1.patch, which fixes the channel map for ADAT speed mode 1.17:31

greg-gScottK: I understand your frustration, I do.  Just don't take everyone's jabber in there as official bug squad opinion.17:41
ScottKWell until someone reverts the removal of the documentation, I think it stands for the official bug squad opinion.17:41
greg-gScottK: for that really there should be a discussion with heno if we want to be team players.17:42
nicolasvwWhen a package is synced from debian, is it rebuild from the debian .dsc or is it just copied over?17:43
ScottKnicolasvw: Source is imported and rebuilt.  Ubuntu has source compatibility with Debian, no guarantees on binary compatibility.17:44
nicolasvwScottK: So the meaning of a package ending in -Xbuild1 in the MoM list is just that at some point between the autosync and the release it had to be rebuilt?17:48
ScottKnicolasvw: Yes.  Those should get automatically sync'ed over when the time comes.17:48
ScottKnicolasvw: Note that the MoM output is currently out of date.17:49
ScottKnicolasvw: The key difference between build1 and ubuntu1 is that build1 will get sync'ed over.17:49
nicolasvwScottK: ok; I see. What's the best practice to avoid duplicate work with MoM outdated? Be lucky?17:50
ScottKnicolasvw: Use DaD17:51
ScottKnicolasvw: http://dad.dunnewind.net/universe.php and in general check with the person that touched it last.17:51
nicolasvwScottK: will do, thanks for all the light you have brought!17:52
ScottKnicolasvw: No problem.  Thanks for working on making Ubuntu better.17:52
ScottKgreg-g: I missed your second point when you wrote it.  Unilaterally reverting other's wiki changes without discussion I think speaks for itself about being a team player.17:58

Dane2Hello, all.  I've been trying to cross-compile asterisk (compiling i386 binary using amd64 distro) using pbuilder/dh_make/debuild, but I keep getting the following error after the compile completes, and it's about to make a binary package: "build_tools/mkpkgconfig: 34: cannot create /usr/lib/pkgconfig/asterisk.pc: Permission denied"18:05
Dane2any ideas?18:05
Dane2I've tried asking on #asterisk and #ubuntu-devel, and I was directed here.18:06
jdaviesDane2: could you pastebin debian/rules at paste.ubuntu.com?18:07
Dane2sure.  One min.18:07
Dane2http://paste.ubuntu.com/11699/18:09
Dane2it seems to choke at the "make install" step.18:09
jdaviesDane2: do you mean lines 63-65? I do not see a make insatll, ony amek18:13
Dane2yes, 63-6518:13
Dane2I'm not sure, though.  I'm kind-of a packaging novice.18:13
jdaviesShould it not be: "$(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/asterisk/usr" ?18:14
Dane2I'll give that a shot.18:14
Dane2one min.18:14
Dane2I'll pastebin the whole error too, once the compile completes (assuming the above didn't fix it).18:16

jdavieserr, /usr/lib/pkgconfig when it should be debian/asterik/usr/lib/pkgconfig18:24
Dane2should I just edit mkpkgconfig then?18:25
geserDane2: where does this asterisk package come from?18:26
jdaviesDane2: or the Makefile that gos: "sh build_tools/mkpkgconfig"18:26
Dane2(and if so, what should I do?  I can paste the file if necessary)18:26
Dane2I downloaded it directly form asterisk.org.18:26
Dane2I'll paste the Makefile and the mkpkgconfig.18:26
Dane2(The asterisk folks always recommend using the latest stable [or even svn] version)18:27
geserDane2: why not re-compile the package from Debian unstable if you need a newer version than in hardy?18:27
Dane2I haven't tried doing that before; I've always just used the source from the asterisk site, but I've never tried it with pbuilder.  I'm trying to learn how to make my own packages, so that maybe one day I can get good at it and actually maintain something.  :-)18:29

geserArby: a merge vanishes from MoM on the next run if it get's uploaded (as there isn't anything to merge right now)21:01
norsettogeser: puc is a little behind in intrepid21:01
Arbygeser: so is that independent of whether it builds or not after upload21:01
Jazzvanorsetto: I sorted out issues with the gnome-mplayer, but I have to go for an hour now. Switching to windows, to prepare for the lab practice tomorrow. I'll be back in an hour, clean the package and prepare a new upload :)21:02
Arbyand as an aside how often is MoM run?21:03
norsettoJazzva: good luck21:03
Jazzvanorsetto: Thanks :)21:03
geserArby: yes and I guess MoM is updated once daily (but I'm not sure)21:03
geserArby: looks like ktorrent is missing a build-dependency on cdbs21:03
Arbygeser: yes I know, I've fixed that and hit a further problem21:04
Arbythere was a conflict in a cpp file and I've accidentally introduced an error21:05
Arbyhence why I was trying to get a clean copy21:05
geserArby: you need to get then the old Ubuntu version (e.g. from LP) and the old Debian version and compute the delta (debdiff)21:08
ScottKgeser: I think MoM is not updating right now.  DaD seems to manage it though.21:08
geserScottK: universe.html           12-May-2008 20:59  218K21:09
geserfrom MoM21:09
geserlooks quite uptodate21:09
ScottKOK.  Maybe it's finally started then.  Thanks.  It'd been a few days since I checked.21:09
Arbygeser: thanks21:10
bmmgeser: p.u.c does not list boswars yet, but it is in the archive.ubuntu.com, so it is probably just lagging behind. Thanks for the info!21:11
Syntuxguys, scsi_info was part of pcmcia-cs in gutsy but not anymore, how can I check why it was removed?21:11
ScottKSyntux: Did you look in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/pcmciautils21:14
ScottKSyntux: The why is https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/pcmcia-cs/1:021:15
mruizHow is the correct use of requestsync? I tried to do the following "requestsync -s ubuntu-universe-sponsors --lp kazehakase intrepid" and I got:  ubuntu-universe-sponsors doesn't appear to exist in kazehakase, specify -n for a package not in Ubuntu.21:16
SyntuxScottK, yeah I checked that page before but didn't understand why21:17
gesermruiz: leave out the ubuntu-universe-sponsors, requestsync -s subscribes the correct team automagically21:17
ScottKmruiz: requestsync -s kazehakase intrepid is all you need21:17
ScottKSyntux: The package has been renamed or the functionality folded into another package are the usual reasons.21:18
mruizgeser, ScottK : thanks :)21:18
SyntuxScottK, yeah, that's the usual reasons but scsi_info does not exists anymore in any package21:19
ScottKAh.  Well that's a bit different then.21:19
Syntuxyeah :-)21:20
* ScottK looks some more.21:21
ScottKSyntux: How about http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=39401821:24

Syntuxalthough it doesn't explain why (I guess kernel support thingy) but ok21:27

ryanakcadpatch vs quilt, I'm guessing I should go for dpatch?22:25
ScottKryanakca: You should go for whichever works for you.22:25
ScottKThere are plenty of quilt fanboys around, but I don't get the excitement myself.22:25
ryanakcaScottK: ok, well, I'm used to the CDBS patch system, but this particular merge a) doesn't have a patch system and b) doesn't use CDBS...22:26
* ryanakca will try quilt out first22:26
ScottKryanakca: If you've used cdbs-edit-patch, then dpatch-edit-patch will be familiar.22:27
ryanakcaok, thanks22:27
ryanakcaAnother thing, how often do MoM/DaD get updated?22:28
Lutinonce an hour for DaD iirc, don't know for MoM22:29
sebnergeser: now you can ACK all of them. I testbuilded all of them ;)22:33
ScottKTwice a day for MoM, I think.22:33
sebnerScottK: only DaD rocks :P22:33
ScottKsebner: Except when it gives you a bogus merge diff.  Each tool has it's advantanges.22:34
LutinScottK: does it still happen ?22:34
Lutinexcept the one marked as broken, thqt is22:35
ScottKLutin: I haven't hit any that aren't marked.22:35
sebnerScottK: well, true but my experience was that MoM likes to break something more than DaD22:35
ScottKHopefully at UDS we get them all put toghether and we are one happy family again.22:35
LutinScottK: ok. true, relying on snapshots.debian.net is not ideal :)22:35
sebnerScottK: btw, no stress with courier. won't have the time to work on it until weekend22:36
ryanakcashouldn't debian/mon.init.d start with "#!/bin/sh" instead of "#! /bin/sh"?22:39
crimsunryanakca: no.22:39
crimsunpeople generally aren't pedantic about the former, however.22:40

Jazzvanorsetto: It gives me 404 for the dir which should contain the files (http://gnome-mplayer.googlecode.com/files/), download location for the newest is http://gnome-mplayer.googlecode.com/files/gnome-mplayer-0.6.1.tar.gz22:43
norsettoJazzva: check the uscan man page, there is a way to use a referral http page22:43
Jazzvaok22:44
norsettoJazzva: this should probably be ok: http://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/downloads/list as the referral page22:44
Jazzvanorsetto: Thanks, it worked :)22:48
norsettojazzva: good :-)22:49
ryanakcashould the creation of /var/run/mon (if it doesn't exist) be in the start) section of the init script, or should it be outside of it / have its existence assured at every operation?22:50
persiaryanakca: At every start is likely safe, so long as it is in the init script, and not in the postinst.22:53
ryanakcapersia: thanks22:53

ErosionDoes one have to use ubuntu to be a MOTU?22:54
sebnerpersia: kk, btw. I thought the members of universe-contributors ( currently only me ^^) also have more *rights* on LP. not only the goodies like ubuntumembership22:54
crimsunErosion: no.22:55
ScottKErosion: Not technically, but I'm not sure why your would want to?22:55
ErosionScottK: I run OSX present, I'm a previous ubuntu user though, and still run it, but on my everyday machine.22:55
sebnerargh22:55
sebner*reights22:55
ryanakcaErosion: but.... how would you package if not on Ubuntu?22:55
sebnerno *rights is correct ^^22:56
crimsunErosion: also, regarding your question in -bugs about iMac audio - you haven't provided any hardware info.  Namely, the bug team would need the codec spew (/proc/asound/card*/*codec*{,/*})22:56
persiasebner: Not at this time.  Possibly in the future.  Needs to be proposed, agreed with the relevant bodies, and confirmed by MOTU.22:56
Erosionryanakca: That's why I asked :)22:56
persiaErosion: You'd at least want to run Ubuntu in a virtual machine, as otherwise testing is problematic.22:57
sebnerpersia: in other words. will take very long. I thought this was also planned!? I don't speak from big rights. just things like changing the importance of a bug or something like this22:57
gesersebner: sync request for ocaml-* ACKed22:57
Erosionpersia: OK.22:57
sebnergeser: great. thx22:57

sebnerember: We'll see23:01
Jazzvanorsetto: What's the right way of uploading new upstream versions? Preparing an interdiff?23:01
norsettoJazzva: no, we changed to diff.gz23:01
JazzvaThen I should provide .orig.tar.gz and diff.gz produced by the build?23:02
Jazzvanorsetto: ^23:02
persiaJazzva: Your orig.tar.gz should be generated by debian/rules get-orig-source23:02
norsettoJazzva: just the diff.gz, the tarball we can retrieve with the watch file23:02

no0ticapachelogger, sorry, I took your pokerth but I think I can't manage to merge it by myself, too many changes and I'm still in full learning process.. better if I continue with simpler packages first23:30
norsettojazzva: can you check in the svn if the patch we have in 0.6.0 was added? I was told by upstream that there shouldn't be any need in 0.6.1, so I'm surprised you kept it23:40
Jazzvanorsetto: I checked in the file, but it wasn't added. Though, not in svn...23:42
JazzvaI'll check now23:42
Jazzvanorsetto: It was added in the svn, but we can keep the patch, since it does the same thing... :)23:44
