RoAkSoAxRAOF, yeah me too.. but my system is up to date and still having the same issue.. any ideas on how to fix it??04:44
RAOFNah, not really.  You could try unpacking the deb, fiddling with the postinst, repacking, and then installing it.04:45

RoAkSoAxunless i need to add proposed to my repos.. cause i have everything else enabled05:28

ajmitchhello dholbach06:03
dholbachgood morning06:04
dholbachhi ajmitch06:04
ScottKAnyone know what's up with the Italian loco team?06:05
* ScottK was just reading emgent's blog on planet.06:05
ajmitchno idea, I don't want to get into loco drama06:06
dholbachScottK: I tried to leave a comment on the blog entry but it didn't work06:06
ScottKIt's just morbid curiousty on my part.06:07
dholbachhmmm06:07
ScottKseele dragged me to my first IRC loco meeting just this week for our local team.06:07
dholbachhow was it?06:08
ajmitchour loco team is fairly quiet, mostly just a few regulars in the IRC channel06:08
ScottKdholbach: It was pretty quiet for me.  seele is a strong personality.06:08
ScottKMostly I asked if there would be beer at the event they were discussing.06:09
* ajmitch does meet up with some #ubuntu-nz people in person from time to time06:09
dholbachScottK: which Loco is yours? were there lots of people?06:09
ScottKdholbach: us-md (Maryland).  It's a small group.06:09
* RAOF doesn't even know if there _is_ a Sydney loco group.06:09
FlannelIf you can read italian, the LoCo logs are available06:10
ScottKNo Italian here.06:10
ajmitchRAOF: there's enough of you sydney people06:10
FlannelRAOF: No, it's an -au thing06:10
slangasekFlannel: and if we can read italian, we also know where they are without being given a URL? :-)06:10

StevenKajmitch: That's cool, too06:16
gesergood morning06:19
RoAkSoAxdholbach, i just remembered that there is something that i want to ask you... why don't you make packaging guide available for translation in LP?06:23
dholbachRoAkSoAx: the packaging guide is available on the wiki nowadays06:23
RoAkSoAxdholbach, yeah i know.. but the thing is that it is much easier to do it through rosetta06:24
dholbachRoAkSoAx: so there's no source anymore (as in docbook as it used to be)06:24
RoAkSoAxso if i want it translated.. can i just start doing it on a wiki page right?06:25
dholbachRoAkSoAx: exactly06:26
RoAkSoAxand how about the Ubuntu $(language) Development Teams06:26
RoAkSoAxis anyone in charge already to get the packaging guide and stuff translated?06:27
dholbachRoAkSoAx: the discussion we had at UDS was mostly informational - we tried to hear what works well for existing teams and what's important to them06:27
dholbachI'm not sure anybody has gotten around to summarising the discussion yet06:27
dholbachRoAkSoAx: so no, there's no organised effort right now trying to translate the packaging guide yet06:28
ScottKI thought we were migrating back to configuration controlled policy documentation?06:28
dholbachScottK: hm?06:28
ScottKThe first Friday session at UDS that cjwatson did.06:28
dholbacherm, I'm afraid I don't know which one that was06:29
RoAkSoAxdholbach, ok, so i guess i'm free to start its translation to spanish :)06:29
ScottKdholbach: Look on the gobby server for the doc called policy-and-standards06:30
dholbachScottK: gracias06:31
dholbachScottK: hum... what do you get if you open it in gobby? to me it looks empty06:32
ScottKdholbach: Get the one that ends in 's'06:32
dholbach:)06:33
dholbachScottK: that looks good - I'm not sure though that it replaces the Packaging Guide as it's not so much a policy document, but a beginner's guide06:35
dholbachit's a great idea to make more use of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPackagingChanges again06:35
ScottKdholbach: I think we'd be better off to use Debian new maintainer's guide with a short supplement for Ubuntu differences.06:36
ScottKdholbach: Who's going to update our packaging guide to support the new Debian policy uploaded yesterday?06:37
dholbachScottK: which changes are you most concerned about?06:38

=== dholbach_ is now known as dholbach
ScottKdholbach: The Debian.source rules definitely need to be included.  Not sure what else.06:40
ScottKdholbach: I'm mostly concerned about systematically getting it figured out since we have no process and have forked the documentation.06:41
* ScottK heads to bed.06:41
dholbachScottK: I agree that the more we can re-use, the better - we just need to think about how best to do that06:43

TheMusoStevenK: I worked out the problem I was having with that code. Turns out in glibc 2.7, the code that defines the ucred structure has had a __USE_GNU #define placed around it. Joy! :)07:16
StevenKAhh!07:16
TheMusoWell in a version of glibc between hardy and intrepid.07:17

* Hobbsee is merely pointing out that there appears to be some useful case.15:41
ScottKAgreed, but not producing final Debian packages (IMO anyway).15:41
ScottKlsb-core depends on it.  Not sure why.15:42
ScottKOK.  So fewer hands here than in #ubuntu-devel.15:42

devfilasac: ping16:32
norsettoneed help devfil?16:51
devfilyes, with a bug, I don't know the way to fix it16:52
norsettodevfil: which one?16:52
devfilnorsetto: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.8/+bug/19683416:52
ubottuLaunchpad bug 196834 in wxwidgets2.8 "wxPython demo is not installing properly" [Low,In progress]16:52
norsettodevfil: ok, whats the problem?16:53
devfilnorsetto: examples readme says: "Note that some of them will attempt to write to the current16:53
devfilworking directory, or to the home directory of the user they are run as." and "Some of the files have been compressed in accordance with Debian policy16:53
devfilregarding documentation"16:53
norsettodevfil: yes?16:54
devfilso I think I should use debconf to ask the dir when examples should be extracted16:54
norsettodevfil: wait a sec, what is the problem, that the examples are gzipped?16:54
devfilexactly16:55
norsettodevfil: well, thats not a problem, its standard debian policy16:55
norsettodevfil: you may use a -x in dh_compress but that would be against the policy16:55
devfilyes, but people want it unpacked16:55
devfilnorsetto: for this reason I think I should use debconf to ask16:56
norsettodevfil: well, then they unpack it themselves16:56
devfilnorsetto: yes, but how I should do prerm file?16:56
devfilexamples need to write to the current dir, so they can be unpacked in usr/share16:57
devfiland debconf should ask for the dir16:57
devfilbut prerm?16:57
norsettodevfil: examples are not supposed to be run from /usr/share, they have to be copied to your local dir16:57
norsettodevfil: actually, they should not be run, they should be "read" as examples, but thats another story16:58
devfilnorsetto: examples should be unpacked in home?16:58
norsettodevfil: no, examples shall be installed in /usr/share/etc.etc.16:58
devfilnorsetto: and they are installed in /usr/share...16:59
norsettodevfil: users that wants to use them, have to unpack them to a local dir where they have the necessary privileges16:59
geserI usually see packages installing examples in /usr/share/doc/<pkgname>/examples16:59
norsettogeser: correct16:59
norsettodevfil: so, there is nothing wrong with that package, no bugs to be fixed17:00
devfilnorsetto: good, how I should set status bug?17:01
geserI'd explain why it's not a bug and set to "invalid"17:02
norsettodevfil: either invalid or won't fix, roughly speacking invalid means its not a bug, won't fix we recognise its an issue but we won't do anything about it17:02
devfilgeser: ok thanks17:02
devfilnorsetto: ok thanks, now another question17:03
devfilhttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.8/+bug/21155317:03
ubottuLaunchpad bug 211553 in wxwidgets2.8 "wxPython isn't on path in hardy beta" [Undecided,Confirmed]17:03
devfilin this bug I've used ln -snf to do a link17:03
devfilpackage use update-alternatives17:04
devfilmaybe I can use it to do links?17:04
norsettodevfil: isn't the package using pycentral/pysupport?17:06
devfilnorsetto: ehm... I don't know17:07
norsettodevfil: ok, better check it out, either of them should take care of that automatically17:07
norsettodevfil: let me fetch a link17:08
norsettodevfil: this should do: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy17:09
devfilnorsetto: it use pycentral17:10
norsettodevfil: ok, pycentral just recently did a transition, perhaps there is some hardcoded stuff to be changed17:10
devfilnorsetto: I'm scared17:11
norsettodevfil: :-) don't17:11
norsettodevfil: just check debian/rules and the install files17:11
norsettodevfil: for the other bug, I see that there is a script in debian which seems to be written for the end users17:15
norsettodevfil: just check that is installed (and where) and point users to it17:16
devfilnorsetto: yes, unpack_examples.sh but nobody seems to see it17:16
devfilnorsetto: yes, is what I will do when I will invalid the bug17:17
norsettodevfil: well, is it well documented? If it is there is nothing more we can do17:17
norsettodevfil: which seems to be the case, look at README.example in /examples17:18
devfilnorsetto: there is a readme17:18
devfilnorsetto: yes, I looked at it17:18
devfilnorsetto: readme is installed in the same dir of unpack_examples.sh17:19
norsettodevfil: so, just mark that as invalid and give the above reasons17:20
norsettodevfil: there is also a wxwidgets2.8 package in experimental (2.8.7.1-0.1) which you may want to check?17:24
devfilnorsetto: I looked at it and I proposed me as co-maintainer for wxwidgets2.8 packages in debian, but I'm waiting for a reply17:25
norsettodevfil: ok, for the python stuff, I see a lot of things hardcoded in there, if I were you I would ask help to a python$deity17:26
devfilnorsetto: ehm..what? :)17:26
norsettodevfil: ask somebody who is knowledgeable about python packaging17:27
norsettodevfil: especially pycentral17:27
devfilnorsetto: for example?17:28
norsettodevfil: ask scottk, he is usually helpfull, if he doesn't know the answer himself he may point you in the right direction, otherwise try asking to doko, he is pycentral mastermind17:29
devfilnorsetto: for wx.pth links?17:30
norsettodevfil: for the problem about the application not being in the right path17:30
devfilyes, the fix is in the bug but do you think I should use update-alternatives?17:31
norsettodevfil: that fix looks like a hack, maybe a simple rebuild is enough17:32
devfilnorsetto: no, you are not understanding17:33
norsettodevfil: yes, thats typically me :-)17:33
devfilnorsetto: to fix #211553 I used ln -snf to link wx.pth to the right dir, but package also use update-alternatives, so do you think I should use update-alternatives as package do?17:35
norsettodevfil: thats what I said, linking seems the wrong hack, pycentral should install the files in the correct locations, if it doesn't I suspect that due to the transition, some of the hardcoded paths in rules has to be changed, and/or a rebuild is needed17:38
devfilnorsetto: then I didn't understand :) sorry17:39

NielsEcan someone help a beginner-motu (me)? I'm trying to change the tekst of the manpage of the gnu's helloworld example, and repackage it, but I dont know how (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=819635)18:18
norsettoNielse: you should see your changes in the diff.gz after debuild -S, if you don't than you missed something18:20
NielsEin the .diff.gz I can see my changes in hello.1, but after instaling the .deb the manpage does not seem to be affected18:20
norsettoNielsE: than you are not installing the right deb18:21
nhandlernorsetto and NielsE: Are the manpages removed when you uninstall a package?18:22
norsettonhandler: yes18:22
NielsEthere is only 1 generated.., do I need to patch the diff to the .deb created by "debuild"?18:22
NielsEafter deleting the .deb "man hello" doesn't work anymore18:22
norsettonielse: where do you take the deb that you install?18:23
NielsEI click on it in nautalis, or sometimes just "sudo dpkg -i hello-versionnumber.deb"18:24
norsettoNielsE: yes, but where is it? Try also changing the changelog so you are sure that the version matches your changes18:24
NielsEits in the directory above the source folder18:25
norsettonielse: you are using pbuilder?18:25
NielsEnot always, I am going to run it now18:26
norsettoNielsE: be aware that pbuilder by default gives you the new .deb in /var18:27
norsettoNielsE: /var/cache/pbuilder/result to be exact18:27
NielsEoh, I thought it just checked if it was able to build it on a clean install18:27
NielsEthe .deb created by pbuilder has still the same manpage.., do I need to run some scripts or something before my changes are applied in the source code?18:29
norsettoNielsE: no, as I said, change also the changelog, so you know which version to build18:30
emgentheya people18:32
NielsEthe newly created deb has version number 2.1.1-1 (thats also in the changelog), and the original version is called 2.1.118:32
norsettoNielsE: 2.1.1 is an upstream version18:32
NielsEyeah offcourse, thats the original version I wgetted from a gnu-ftp-site18:33
norsettoNielsE: so, create a new version called 2.1.1-2 which contains a new changelog and your changes to the man pages18:33
norsettoNielsE: build that and when you install 2.1.1-2 you will see the new man page18:34
NielsEok I will try18:34
norsettoNielsE: otherwise, the only thing I can think of is that there is another manpage being installed18:35
NielsEto create a new version, all I need to do is making an extra entry in the changelog and do "debuild", "debuild -S" and do a new pbuild?18:37
norsettoNielse: only debuild -S and then a new pbuilder build, debuild alone will make a new deb18:38
NielsEI think I have found a part of the problem, hello.1 says: " DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE!  It was generated by help2man 1.24.", but the tekst that is in the hello.1 is nowhere to be found in the source directory.., where does help2man gets the tekst from?18:41
NielsEwait.18:42
norsettoNielse: give me a link to the tarball18:43
NielsEhttp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.1.1.tar.gz , help2man is the manpage generating script18:43
geserNielsE: my guess would be it's generated from the output of --help18:44
norsettoNielsE: looks like is source/hello itself18:46
NielsE`$this_program' generates a man page out of `--help' and `--version' output, think you're right, now I'm going to find out where in the source code the --help gets printed I think18:46
NielsEyeah I found it in the C source code, yay18:47
NielsEalso when you submit a new patch to a bugreport, do you only give the diff or the whole new .deb?18:52
geserNielsE: only the (deb)diff18:54
NielsEthanks, my edited manpage is working :)18:55
NielsEI do need a "debuild" before I do a "debuild -S" though or else he won't compile the program again and thus the manpage is unchanged then18:56
NielsEthank you very much for your time :-)18:58

mathiazWhat's the current policy about Vcs-* fields when doing a merge from Debian ? Should they be moved to XS-Vcs-* ?21:10
slangasekmathiaz: why would you move them to XS-Vcs-*?  Current dpkg in intrepid recognizes Vcs-*, doesn't it?21:14
persiaslangasek: Yes.21:14
* slangasek nods21:14
geserslangasek: I guess the idea is that the Ubuntu package isn't managed in the specified vcs21:15
slangasekmathiaz: anyway, what I've seen some developers do, which makes sense to me, is move the Debian value to XS-Orig-Vcs-*, and set a Vcs-* value pointing at the Ubuntu repo21:15
persiamathiaz: There's been some discussion, but no resolution.  Some people believe that it ought be removed or point to an Ubuntu VCS unless the Ubuntu changes are committed to the previously identified VCS.21:15
persiaSome people prefer to leave it alone, as being an extra thing to have to change.21:15
slangasekgeser: that's reasonable, but XS-Orig-Vcs-* doesn't achieve that :)21:15
slangasekgeser: er, I mean, XS-Vcs-* doesn't achieve that21:15
persiaXS-Orig-Vcs-* might, but the tools will all ignore it.21:16
slangaseksince it's just a roundabout way to wind up with the same Vcs-* field in the source package21:16
mathiazslangasek: hm.. ok so there isn't an official recommendation then21:16
slangasekttbomk, that's correct21:16
persiamathiaz: It's that s/Vcs/XS-Vcs/ has absolutely no effect on the binary package produced.21:17
mathiazpersia: ok - I'll leave them as is for now (following the road of "this is an extra thing to change")21:18
persiamathiaz: OK.  On the other hand, if you want to renew the discussion on the mailing list, it might not be bad.  It's likely too late for intrepid, but we ought get some resolution at some point, and need to do it while people are still merging, but before a new release starts.21:19
slangasekI propose that for intrepid, we implement the whole-archive import and have bzr autogenerate the values ;)21:20
persiaslangasek: Too late for intrepid.  Please make another suggestion.21:21
persiaAlso, last I looked, we didn't have merge tools smart enough to automate merging.21:21
mouzI tried to introduce a (fake) dependency by expanding the Depends: entry in debian/control. I compiled using pbuilder. The package I added is not in the pbuilder cache (nor anywhere else on my system). I expected pbuilder to retrieve it, but that did not happen. How come? Does something somewhere understand there is no real dependency?22:35
lagaas you have just been told elsewhere, you need to expand the build dependencies :)22:35
mouz:) Wanted to see what's the difference between the channels. Could have asked it more directly.22:36
lagai hope we passed your little quiz then.22:36
mouzso far not much diff22:36
