pwnguinheh, yet another gentoo fork01:20
pwnguinI love this one: things we find problematic with gentoo: "portage, management, developers, qa, users, and the lack of designers"01:21
jdongpwnguin: lol isn't that the whole distribution01:21
jdongpwnguin: head over to Ulteo too to learn about their innovative "application balls"01:21
jdongpwnguin: in my sleep deprived state I've found that extremely amusing.01:21
pwnguinit gets better01:21
pwnguinhttp://kloeri.livejournal.com/5016.html01:22
pwnguinthey're ready to tackle the problems of gentoo, and also write yet another initsystem01:22
pwnguin" * We're writing a completely new initsystem free of all the weird, useless legacy stuff and based on user needs in the 21st century."01:23
RAOFwork is ongoing on this topic [multilib] and there'll probably be huge changes but we have a fairly decent idea how to handle all the multi stuff sanely.01:23
RAOFHeh.01:24
selckin not hurting anyone, let em try01:24
selckincan't deny gentoo is a mess01:24
pwnguinapparently sysvinit, initng, runinit, launchd, upstart, eINIT, SMF and so on wasn't up to task01:24

pochusoren: the sru?08:40
pochusoren: thanks :)08:40
pitticjwatson: YokoZar proposed https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/killing-ia32-libs, which is quite toolchainish (multiarch); is there time/interest to discuss it this week?08:42
Amaranththat spec is pretty empty08:44
sorenpochu: Yeah, sorry for the delay. Feel free to ping me more often I suck like this again :)08:45
YokoZarAmaranth: I'll fill it out a bit, but the main issue is discussing how to kill ia32-libs since it needs to die and there are many ways we might kill it08:53
persiaYokoZar: Is there anything planned other than death-by-1000-cuts, as we modify each library otherwise included in ia32-libs?08:55
Riddelltkamppeter: when and where are the printing sessions today?08:55
YokoZarpersia: Well making a bunch of packages a la lib32asound2 is one option, but pitti seemed to have other ideas about doing it more elegantly within the toolchain.  We've been waiting on multiarch for years, however.08:55
ScottK-udsAnd AFAIK no one is actually working on multiarch.08:56

alkisgHello everyone. I'd like to add some features to ldm (LTSP Display Manager), like user-sign-up feature for new students, a remote desktop button etc, but I don't want to "just fork". What is the proper way to do something like that?09:39

tmmoyeris there any place which describes how versions of packages are compared to determine if one package version is greater than the other?  or at least explains the different possible combinations of version that could appear on package?  The way I understand it, there are potentially 4 different numbers the upstream version, the debian build number, the ubuntu build number and a possible NMU version number (am I missing any?)15:45
tmmoyeris there any place that describes the structure/rules of version numbers in ubuntu? the way I am currently understanding things, there are potentially 4 numbers the upstream, the debian, the ubuntu, and a non-maintainer upload version number is this correct?15:47
gesertmmoyer: the debian policy manual describes the format of the version string and you can compare versions with "dpkg --compare-versions"15:48
broonietmmoyer: The Debian policy document (debian-policy package) describes the comparison function;15:48
geserlooks like it wasn't that important that he couldn't wait some minutes for an answer15:50

wildcodehow do I find a maintainer of a particular package23:00
wildcodespecifically, who maintains the wildmidi package in ubuntu23:01
wildcodeI'm the author of WildMIDI and would like to see any patches ubuntu made to the original source23:02
=== saivann_ is now known as saivann
beunowildcode, http://patches.ubuntu.com/ is a good place to look23:03
wildcodethankyou23:03
wildcodehmm, no patch ... does that mean no changes?23:05
beunowildcode, yeap23:05
wildcodek, so who do I find out wh the maintainer is, so I can see if there is anything I can do to make their life easier ... apart from stop breaking the cvs source :)23:07
beunowildcode, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wildmidi23:08
beunoUploaded By:  Emilio Pozuelo Monfort23:09
beunoMaintainer:  Emmet Hikory23:09
beunowildcode, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wildmidi/+publishinghistory23:10
wildcodeI appologize if I am being annoying, its judt I was supprised to see wildmidi in a distro specially since it was made out of curiosity23:10
beunowildcode, not a problem23:10
beunoopen source works that way  :)23:10
wildcode:)23:11
Adri2000wildcode: the package comes from debian and is not modified in ubuntu, so you should talk to the debian maintainer, Emmet Hikory, who is also an ubuntu developer by the way23:11
wildcodehehe, no problem23:13
ScottK-udswildcode: His IRC handle is persia.  He is most often found on #ubuntu-motu, altough he's not there now.23:16
ScottK-udsUrgh.  To slow.23:16
ispikedwhen one presses volume keys on their keyboard, Ubuntu adjusts the volume... what code handles this? I've gotten as far as figuring out that it uses the X11 "XF86Audio*" commands, but I don't know what program/daemon handles those commands23:19
