norsettoRoAkSoAx: nope00:39
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, wierd!! he might be in a nice bridge since he does not give any signs of being alive!!00:40
norsettoRoAkSoAx: well, its almost 2am here, so I don't think he will phone soon, I think his flight is in few hours actually00:41
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, i see... here is almost 7pm... and i was expecting him to be present at the Americas Membership meeting since i'm applying and he was supporting me... but well..00:42
norsettoRoAkSoAx: I guess he didn't find any internet café with Ubuntu computers ;-)00:43
RoAkSoAxnorsetto, hahah yeah!! and neither a open wireless connection for his laptop... (here in my Perú you can find thousands since no one is aware of wireless security)00:43

charliecbi can't find some packages in the ubuntu-repos, but i find the package in the debian-repos..09:59
charliecbfor example libjava-gnome-java or libjogl-java10:00
dholbachcharliecb: if the package is not in Ubuntu yet it will be synced automatically in one of the auto-sync runs (if it's not in experimental)10:00
dholbachall packages with no ubuntu-local changes will be synced automatically until DebianImportFreeze10:01
charliecbdholbach: but i'm waiting since the beginning of intrepid and noting is synced.10:01
dholbachis it in non-free or contrib?10:01

Hobbseelast i knew, it should be merged still12:45
nhandlerHobbsee: Ok, thanks. I'll upload the debdiff. Worst case scenario is that it isn't used, and the package is synced instead12:47
Hobbseenhandler: it's a change which makes the gnome cache more efficient, so i don't think it's something that we want to get rid of12:48
Hobbseenhandler: although a dh_iconcache --> dh_icons change is fine, fyi12:48
nhandlerHobsee: The actual change was adding dh_iconcache. I was told that it was obsolete (on a previous merge), so I replaced iot with dh_icons.12:49
RainCT(it doesn't only make it more efficient, but in some cases there are icons which aren't even shown if dh_icons isn't used)12:50
nhandlerHobsee: RainCT: Thanks for your help. I submitted a debdiff for the package12:54

pdlnhr1can anyone explain why ff3 was removed this morning?  or point to a ticket giving a good reason.  if i remember the release notes for 8.04 firefox3 was part of the plan... .14:42
* erUSUL joins pdlnhr1 in the question14:42
erUSULand i add why the same happened to me with openoffice.org packages (among other things that went as dependencies)14:43
sorenpdlnhr1: Removed?14:44
pdlnhr1http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/804features/14:44
pdlnhr1yeah... firefox3 was removed this morning on update14:45
dholbachsome translation pack packages are being held on my amd64 at the moment - if I'd dist-upgrade now, it's remove a bunch translation packages - is that the problem you're talking about?14:45
sorenI didn't think update-manager would let you remove things..14:46
dholbachno, it shouldn't14:46
sorenOh, you're apt-get dist-upgrading?14:46
pdlnhr1soren: it came through as a partial-upgrade14:46
pdlnhr1nope... i clicked the little update icon in the corner14:47
pdlnhr1i am not the only one erUSUL had the same experience14:47
erUSULdholbach: yeah a bunch of packages included firefox 3 and openoffice.org packages (with language packs and another related packages)14:48
pdlnhr1i thought ff3 was a feature of 8.04  which if i recall is LTS  which is why we waited to upgrade till now, and it took a while to get all the plugins working correctly again in ff and to have it just remove REALLY sucked...   just seems bad form to me14:49
erUSULsoren: if you accet the so called "partial upgrade" it will do14:49
erUSULaccept*14:49
dholbachwhat does    dpkg -l firefox    say?14:49

pdlnhr1http://pastebin.com/m535f62d414:50

pdlnhr1i just d/l'd it to ~home/firefox and created a symlink   but till this is resolved... i can not let any of my devolpers upgrade their machines14:52
dholbachwhat happens if you run       sudo apt-get install firefox3   ? don't press enter - just see what the upgrader wants to do14:53

erUSULpochu: yep14:55
pdlnhr1http://pastebin.com/d244764b414:55
dholbacherUSUL: which packages did it want to remove or change?14:55
pochuright, that's because xulrunner 3.0rc1 / firefox3.0 rc1 and many other packages have been updated there, and they weren't/aren't built yet14:55
erUSULdholbach: know i only have to reinstall the language packas openoffice.org and what not :|14:55
pdlnhr1i am not anymore... because i don't want it to happen again.. but up to an hour ago i was running proposed14:56
pochueither don't update until it doesn't want to remove anything, or don't use -proposed :)14:56
erUSULdholbach: hard to say or remember and i do not run "script" ...14:56
dholbacherUSUL: use         "gksu gnome-language-selector"         it should do it all for you14:56
erUSULdholbach: i know... ;)14:56
pochu(or use update-manager)14:56
dholbachthe problem with the language stuff in -proposed should be shaken out in some hours14:57
dholbachI'd suggest what pochu said14:57
erUSULpochu: update-manager does remove the packages and the proposed packages that depend on other packages has to be uploaded at once if not people can not test the packages14:57
pochuerUSUL: oh, it removes packages? that's weird14:58
erUSULpochu: it offers what it calls a "Partial Upgrade" and if you accept it removes the packages14:58
pochuah, indeed14:59
erUSULpochu: it is true that doing dist-upgrade just makes things worse :|14:59
pdlnhr1well... i guess it is a known issue now... not much i can do about it... ill have to wait till they re add it to the repos14:59
pdlnhr1but i won't be doing any updates on any of our developers machines for a while14:59
pochuluckily end users aren't supposed to use -proposed, and you guys know how to fix things :)14:59
pochuand this won't (shouldn't) happen in -updates15:00
pdlnhr1pochu:  yeah.. but it alows us to test out software and file bug reports15:00
pdlnhr1i guess it is a catch 2215:00
pochupdlnhr1: right, I guess update-manager could be more verbose when it's going to remove packages...15:00
pdlnhr1pochu:  well... not much else to be said on the subject... thanks for letting me vent...  i will keep an eye out for it to be re added15:01
erUSULpochu: it does says that it will remove packages but how do i know if that's a required step on the "Partial Upgrade" thing or is just a defect on update manager??15:03
pochuerUSUL: good point. I guess it could tell what packages it's going to remove. does that make sense?15:04
pochuerUSUL: so in this case you would have seen it was going to remove firefox and you would have canceled the update15:05
pdlnhr1pochu:  it tells you... but only after it had started the partial upgrade15:05
pdlnhr1personally.. i thought it was going to replace it with RC115:06
erUSULpochu: the fact is that i saw that it would remove this things but i though (and i guess i was not the only one) that the removing of this packages was a needed step on the "Partial Upgrade"15:06
erUSULpochu: the gui of the partial upgrade is like the one you face on a dist-upgrade and in a dist-upgrade packages get removed . i just though that this was a similar case (packages will be removed and others newly installed)15:08
=== Zic_ is now known as Zic
pochuerUSUL, pdlnhr1: ok, thanks for your feedback. I've told about this issue to the maintainer of update-manager and he can reproduce it, so hopefully he will be able to fix/improve it. I've also forwarded your commends to him15:12

huatstrying to build a java package, I run into "You must specify a valid JAVA_HOME or JAVACMD!"  while I use debuild -S -sa15:18
huatsdoes anybody has faced that before ?15:18
a|wenhuats: you probably use java in the clean target, and the java executable want's the JAVA_HOME env variable set15:21
pochuanybody using hardy + vinagre?15:23
a|wenhow do i request a backport, if a small dependency change is needed in debian/controls ... do a normal backport request and attach the debdiff? and what should the version numbering then be?15:24
huatsa|wen: it is using java in the clean target15:25
pochua|wen: what's that change? maybe a backport of another package avoids needing to change it15:25
huatsso I need to have JAVA_HOME set in my env ?15:25
a|wenpochu: it's libqt4-dev ... ahh, but I see that a correct version is already in backports, then it should be okay, or?15:27
pochuI think so15:28
pochubut I'm not a backporter :)15:28
a|wenhuats: i should think so; are you running debuild using sudo, then that might be why you don't have it15:28
a|wenpochu: he :) ... do you know if the PPA's include backport packages, so I can test if it builds?15:28
Hobbseea|wen: they don't.15:29
* a|wen considers making himself a backport pbuilder to hardy15:30
huatsa|wen: no15:31
huatsa|wen: using my regular user15:31
a|wenhuats: then you might have luck setting a JAVA_HOME env variable15:32

kirklandSo I merged the LTP package for Hardy, which has been orphaned by Debian.  A couple of Debian guys responded to a post of mine, asking if I would be willing/interested in taking over maintenance of the Debian.  What's involved with Debianizing an Ubuntu package?15:39
james_wkirkland: not a lot if it is already in Debian15:40
kirklandjames_w: yup, already in Debian15:40
kirklandjames_w: just several years out of sync with mainline15:40
james_wit's just a matter of watching over bug reports, packaging the new upstream releases and finding a sponsor for them.15:40
kirklandjames_w: the Ubuntu one is several years more modern15:40
james_wah, in that case testing the Ubuntu packages on Debian and getting a sponsor to push them back is probably a good start.15:41
kirklandjames_w: my question is more about what I need to do to the Ubuntu package to prepare it for upload to the Debian repo15:41
james_wwhatever it takes to make it work there :-)15:42
james_wsome people would want to see a non-Ubuntu version number to sponsor it.15:42
james_wothers would want no reference to Ubuntu in the changelogs, but that's a bit silly.15:42
james_wthe other thing would be updating Maintainer: in debian/control to be you.15:43
kirklandjames_w: okay, those 2 things are easy15:43
james_wthe only other thing would be Debian policy things, but your changelog doesn't hint about anything bad in that area.15:45

lukehasnonameIf someone could fix that16:20

devfillukehasnoname: mono-gmcs is reccomended16:24
lukehasnonameI see that. Do recommended packages get isntalled by default?16:24
slangasekLaney: I have no attachments to the pdns merge, you're welcome to it16:24
lukehasnonameBecause the compiler is rather necessary16:24
devfillukehasnoname: ok, I will fix the bug16:25
lukehasnonamedevfil: I appreciate it. Also, I just discovered how you right click in Synaptic to see recommended/suggested packages16:27
devfillukehasnoname: I can use debconf to ask if user want to install gmcs or not, I think this is the best think to do16:28
lukehasnonameEh, I suppose that does maximize user control. I personally can't see why someone would want the IDE without the *only* compiler for the language.16:29

mok0On the websites, python-numeric and python-numarray both state to be superseded by NumPy. Is it Ubuntu policy to allow the deprecated modules as (possible) replacements for Numpy??18:07

RainCTZelut: yes18:08
ZelutRainCT: can you point me to anything regarding app.*? ie; what other app. options are there?18:09
pochulook at dh_* manpages18:10
pochue.g. dh_install, dh_installdocs...18:10
RainCTZelut: app.manpages for instance18:10
ZelutI think that is the last thing I need to complete my package, is man pages..18:10
RainCTZelut: (and for other ones do what pochu just said.. but iirc there aren't many more)18:11
ZelutRainCT: does app.manpages use the same format as app.docs? as in just list the files, not the destinations?18:11
RainCTZelut: yes18:11
RainCTZelut: btw, if the source does only produce one binary package you don't need the app. prefix18:11
Zelutok, I guess I need to finish building the man page and I may have a package for submission for Intrepid18:11

kirklandslytherin: the ltp package in Debian has been orphaned20:21
kirklandslytherin: i merged Ubuntu's ltp package up to semi-current upstream release for Hardy20:21
slytherinkirkland: so you are trying to to get Ubuntu's package in Debian?20:22
kirklandslytherin: well, it's more like i'm offering to take over maintainership of the Debian package20:22
slytherinkirkland: Ok.20:22
kirklandslytherin: and starting that out by updating the Debian unstable ltp package to something more modern, based on the work i already did for the ubuntu package20:23
kirklandslytherin: which is 2+ years newer than the newest debian ltp package20:23
slytherinhmm20:24
kirklandslytherin: i got a pair of emails from Debian saying "This package has been orphaned. If you still want to collaborate, please20:24
kirklandprepare an upload for Debian and take over the package's maintenance.20:24
kirkland"20:24
slytherinkirkland: Ok. I was just confused what were you trying to do. By the way you can simply create a pbuilder chroot for debian instead of installing Debian in kvm20:26
kirklandslytherin: right, i keep around a nice selection of interesting KVM's anyway ;-)20:26
keeskirkland: an orig+dsc+diff should be fine.20:28

kirklandkees: those changes are of value to debian-and-debian-derivatives, IMHO20:32

slangaseka|wen: a little hard to say23:02
slangasekresponsiveness of existing processes is also far below what it seems it ought to be given the load average23:03
* ajmitch must get some flash-blocking addon for firefox, this site is killing my laptop23:03
kirklandslangasek: I found a "propose for merging" link, so I did that ;-)23:03
a|wenslangasek: you could check if your number of processes gets close to 32K, then it could be it ... but must admit, that it is a rare case :)23:05
slangasekkirkland: sounds good :)23:09
slangaseka|wen: 178 processes23:14
a|wenslangasek: that definately leaves some room to the 32K ... i think you're right about the load average23:15
LaserJocksiretart: still up?23:23
slangaseka|wen: and I meant that it was a little hard to say because it's hard to check the process count when shells are going dead on me left and right :P23:24
* a|wen wonders what slangasek does to run his box that hard :P23:25
a|wennight people23:34
