Keybukkees: gcc probably doesn't like being compiled with -foh-hai -fi-can-haz-securitah00:01

keesKeybuk: the compiler part doesn't seem to mind, but the testsuite complains in parts00:02
keesslangasek: gcc-4.3 wc -l on rules* is 10090.  mpich is just 292 :)00:03
slangasekoh, well, there's that00:04
slangasekthough maybe it wasn't mpich, maybe it was some package that build-deps on mpich00:04
slangasekhdf5, maybe00:05
pwnguinkees: what about gcc-avr? surely cross compilation is more confusing00:53
slangasekI think gcc-avr inherits all of its specialness from the gcc rules00:54
keespwnguin: gcc does ppc cross compiles too.  :)  but yeah, I probably shouldn't try to nominate "2nd most confusing" I bet there are tons00:54

pittiasac: no, it's not09:07
asacokay ;)09:07
asaci see09:07
pittiasac: this will happen very commonly with sources which build binaries for both main and universe09:08
pwnguinso they DO exist09:08
pittiyes, in hardy-updates09:08
persiaIs there a way to reduce the chance of this happening?09:08
pwnguin(packages that build universe and main)09:08
pittiwell, we could add some sanity checks to update-manager perhaps09:09
persiapwnguin: Lots of them.  Source is in main, but some of the binaries aren't.09:09
pittibut either way, update-manager *removing* packages is a bug on its own09:09
asac[reed]: you appear to not have  universe at all in your sources.list09:09
pittimvo: ^ it still does that?09:09
pittiasac: (NB that he just grepped for hardy-updates, not hardy itself)09:09
persiapitti: fixing update-manager is a way to reduce the impact, but is it not possible to synchronise the -updates push for all binaries in a single source?09:09
pittipersia: that's already done09:10
[reed]asac: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18984/09:10
persiaAlso, update-manager will still remove packages in certain circumstances, where there's no declared dependency.09:10
pittipersia: but if someone has hardy-updates/main in their sources.list, but not hardy-updates/universe, that won't help him09:10
persiapitti: I see.  It's a matter of sources.list, rather than the state of the archive.09:10

asacmvo: ^^ for the above (20 lines) ... does apturl add the proper section for -updates as well?09:15
pwnguinproper care and maintaince of source.list is vital for smooth operation ^_^09:16
mvoasac: generally it does if universe was enabled at the time when apturl was run09:17
[reed]pwnguin: and you expect some average user that doesn't know Linux at all to know that? ;) (I'm not an average user by any means, but just thinking of all those users who don't understand this stuff)09:17
asac[reed]: i think pwnguin tried to be sarcastic :)09:18
pwnguinmost "average users" should the software sources tool. which i expect works, but nobody i know uses it09:18
asacmvo: you mean "... when -updates was enabled when running apturl" ?09:19
asacmvo: just wonder if he ended up in this state when installing icedtea plugin through apturl09:20
mvoasac: I haven't seen the apturl line, but if e.g. the sources.list has "hardy universe" and apturl is run with "apturl apt:foo?section=universe" it will not add anything because universe is enabled already.  if it is not in the file, then it will add it and also add -updates09:21
mvohm09:22
asacmvo: hmm. ok, worth a bug? e.g. add universe to -updates if hardy-updates line exists already?09:22
asace.g. if user has not opted out of -updates09:22
mvofeel free, I'm not sure if we can catch all corner cases, but we can try. was the content of the pastebin manully edited? or only through tools like software-properties/apturl etc09:24
mvo?09:24
Mirvasac: yep, no issue09:25
asacmvo: at least the dbgsym lines were added manually i guess09:25

ScottKRiddell: At UDS, James Westby said he'd fix it.12:25
ScottKIIRC it's reportbug that mails ubuntu-users.  Reportbug-ng will send stuff to Debian.12:26
ScottKReportbug should definitely NOT be removed.  It's quite useful for reporting bugs to Debian when that's appropriate.12:26
ScottKReportbug-ng just got removed from Testing for being not sufficiently useful, so removing it for now wouldn't be awful.12:27
ScottKRiddell:^^^12:27
Riddellsiretart: how is reportbug useful for debian reporting when it reports to ubuntu-users?12:35
henoWe should at least coordinate the use of reportbug (if configured to send to Debian) though.12:35
sistpoty|workRiddell: it has a -B switch to choose debian's BTS12:36
henoDon Armstrong (Debian BTS guy) felt that even bugs in unmodified packages were not self-evidently Debian issues because we run them in an Ubuntu environment with our own configurations12:37
henoso the bugs reported from us should at least be tagged clearly as such (are they?)12:38
siretartRiddell: by using it with 'reportbug -Bdebian' - at least that's the only way I use it.12:38
henosiretart: is it obvious on the Debian end that the bug is from Ubuntu?12:39
siretartheno: sort of, it is at the end of the message if the user didn't delete that from the template.12:40
siretartheno: the more challenging problem is that most ubuntu users are not aware what happens to their message, read: the have no idea where the report goes to and who is in charge dealing with it.12:41
sistpoty|worksiretart: by default it actually gets stuck at fiordland anyways ;)12:41
henook, so we would need to modify reportbug to provide that info12:42
siretartsistpoty|work: that's why I configured it in my user config to use /usr/bin/sendmail.12:42
siretartheno: even better: make it report to launchpad.12:42
sistpoty|worksiretart: heh12:43
henowhat features does it have that apport doesn't?12:43
henoas in "apport-cli -f -p PACKAGE"12:44
siretartheno: I don't see how apport and reportbug(-ng) relate.12:44
\shsiretart: I thought reportbug-ng is past tense for lenny?12:45
siretart\sh: I expect it to be fixed in time12:45
\shsiretart: let's hope :)12:46
siretartheno: reportbug e.g. support package specific hooks for collecting extra data. it respects the Bugs: field of the package, it does not require authentication -- there are so many fundamental differences that I wouldn't even consider comapring it to apport12:46
henosiretart: they both collect info to help you file a better bug. Apport supports package hooks as well https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Apport12:49
henothey seem to me to have some overlap :)12:50
henothough I'm sure there are major differences too12:50
siretartheno: which are not the same hooks we already have in debian. so we need to reimplement all those nice hooks in debian pacakge again for ubuntu :/12:51
siretartheno: but I think the most important point for this discussion here is: apport cannot be used to report bugs to debian. that's why I stick to reportbug and reportbug-ng12:52
henoand I think the question is whether we as Ubuntu should ship a package that does that (or perhaps that should be installed directlt from debian for those who want it) IMO the answer will depend on debian's view on getting bugs from us12:54
heno(to the extent there is a "debian's view")12:54
sistpoty|workheno: given that reportbug itself doesn't by default report anything to debian, unless you fiddle with command line switches and configuration, I guess it's the risk of bugs reported to the wrong BTS is minimal12:56

henosiretart: ok, I don't have strong feelings about it; if it has a use case and is otherwise used carefully, and isn't causing annoyance in debian then I'm not worried13:04
ScottKThe bigger problem is reportbug-ng that does report bugs to debian by default even though it's supposed to know better.13:12

asacpitti: most likely just firefox-3.0 and xulrunner-1.9 ... and even those were uploaded with lax dependencies14:19
geserpitti: can you please remove libversion-perl from the NEW queue? I didn't catch that it got removed from intrepid. Thanks.14:20
pittigeser: done14:27
* pitti yays -- finally a fully DKMSified, packaged, and working dvb-T driver for hardy14:27

geserkirkland: hi, are you aware that select-editor doesn't write ~/.selected_editor if only one exists and sensible-editor fails to source that file and fails14:34
=== broonie_ is now known as broonie
superm1pitti, after you get some reports on it, perhaps would you get it into hardy-backports for wider adoption?14:59
pittisuperm1: hm, maybe15:03
pittiI didn't actually plan to upload it into intrepid, though15:03
pittisince that would mean I officially have to maintain it for very long :)15:04
kirklandgeser: please clarify....15:04
superm1ah right :)15:04
geserkirkland: when I try to call sensible-editor in my intrepid chroot I get: .: 17: Can't open /home/michael/.selected_editor15:05
pittisuperm1: once jockey gets supoprt for an online driver db, I'd rather link it in the db and keep the driver in a ppa15:05
kirklandgeser: does /home/michael exist?15:06
geserkirkland: sure15:06
geserkirkland: this only happens when VISUAL and EDITOR are unset15:06
kirklandgeser: right, that's the case where select-editor should kick in15:07
kirklandgeser: let me understand why it can't write that file, though15:07
kirklandgeser: what user is executing it?15:07
kirklandgeser: and would that user not have write access to /home/michael/.selected_editor ?15:07
geserkirkland: looking at the code of select-editor it calls "update-alternatives --list editor | wc -l" which gives 1 for me and skips the next if where that file is created15:08
kirklandgeser: ah, good catch15:08

loolMacSlow: Hey, cairo-clock Recommends compiz: is this really needed?16:46
Riddelltkamppeter: are you able to merge cups-pdf sometime?  I'm down for it as the last uploader but I think you are a better person to merge it with Debian16:48
=== greeneggsnospam is now known as jsgotangco
tkamppeterRiddell, OK, I can do so.17:02
MacSlowlool, well a compositor... that can be either compiz or metacity (with an enabled compositor)17:05
loolMacSlow: It seems that even without compositor, it will work, just wont be transparent, right?17:06
MacSlowlool, but since one cannot put "metacity (with enabled compositor)" in the control file I chose compiz17:06
loolMacSlow: We're pulling cairo-clock in UME now, I'd rather not pull compiz though; perhaps this should simply be covered in the doc -- compiz is the default in Ubuntu anyway, no?17:06
MacSlowlool, no I intercept that and present the user an error-message.17:06
loolOh, so it's handled at runtime already17:07
loolNot sure we need to have a dep then17:07
MacSlowlool, of course... that's why I used "recommends" and not "depends"17:07
loolagoliveira told me it works on his laptop with compositing enabled and not running compiz17:07
MacSlowlool, but I thought that's what the field "recommends" was meant for17:07
Riddelltkamppeter: thanks17:07
loolMacSlow: As you were saying, it's quite an imprecise way of saying "anything providing compositing"; we could use virtual packages for this, but it would be a bit heavy17:08
loolMacSlow: I think in your case you want a Depends on a compositor17:08
loolMacSlow: But as there's no virtual provide for this, and it's per user anyway -- or even per session -- I'm not sure you want to reflect in the dependencies17:09
MacSlowlool, gee... I won't be the one introducing stuff like that :) I'm not enough of a MOTU to forsee all the implication such a suggestion could have.17:09
ograjust move Recommends: compiz to Suggests: compiz17:10
loolYes, that's what I wanted to offer17:10
loolMacSlow: Would you mind if I downgraded to suggests in intrepid?17:10
loolOr removed the dep entirely, perhaps adding a README in the package?17:10
ograthat way even openbox users with xcompmgr can use it without cluttering their disk wih compiz17:11
MacSlowlool, np17:11
ograi think a suggests is fine ... i'd make it even Suggests: compiz | xcompmgr17:11
MacSlowlool, btw... xcompmgr works too with cairo-clock... at least last time (some months ago) I tested it17:12
loolMacSlow: Ack; thanks for discussion17:14
MacSlowlool, you're welcome17:15
* Hobbsee wonders when the apt transition will complete17:16
* lool suggests Hobbsee to stare at cairo-clock until the transition completes17:17
Hobbseelool: heh.  i do like that clock17:17
ograheh17:17
Hobbseelool: but we are supposed to have an alpha release this week, so having stuff installable is probably a reasonable expectation?17:18
Hobbseeat least, that's what the schedule says17:18
loolHobbsee: Who needs APT anyway?  ar ought to be enough for end users17:19
Hobbseelool: heh.17:19
Hobbseelool: sure, but this is not 1990.17:19
lagapitti: good job on the v4l-dvb package. i've been meaning to do that for mythbuntu for a long time17:40
mkrufkyi noticed that17:46
mkrufkywont it break out of tree drivers?17:46
lagain what way?17:47
mkrufkyerr...  it _will_ break out of tree v4l/dvb drivers17:47
mkrufkyreplacing videodev by a new videodev, where modules in l-u-m depend on the kernel provided videodev17:47
mkrufkyi have a fix for that, actually :-)17:47
mkrufkybut its not fully backwards compatable17:47
lagayeah, i was just looking at l-u-m17:48
lagait'd be nice if l-u-m also used dkms.17:48
mkrufkyyeah, anty media driver in l-u-m would get broken17:48
mkrufkyif he changed his dkms build to -not- replace videodev, that would do it......  although it would only go back so many kernel versions17:48
mkrufky...same applies to dvb-core, if there are any out of tree dvb devices in l-u-m17:50
lagamkrufky: do you know the state of the multiproto api?17:50
mkrufkyit's not in kernel17:51
mkrufkyand never will be17:51
mkrufkythe author chose to fork and refuses any merge attempts17:51
mkrufkydont bother supporting it17:51
mario_limoncielllaga, dkms shouldn't necessarily be used for everything in lum, but this model for updated drivers and binary drivers only is a good idea.17:52
lagait's a bit hard not to support it (in the future) as it's the only way to use DVB-S2.17:52
lagaAFAIK17:52
lagamario_limonciell: well, l-u-m still should provide binaries, of course, but it'd also be nice if it didn't break if someone compiles their own kernel.17:53
lagagranted, it's easy to rebuild.17:53
mario_limonciellthe problem with putting dkms on too much stuff is that you end up having to have a build chain to build it when it needs to be used17:54
mario_limoncielland then you add extra delay to postinst when you build stuff17:54
mario_limonciellor during the next boot if you build it there17:54
lagathats why we have prebuilt modules for people who use the stock kernel. :)17:56
lagaanyways, that discussion is probably fruitless. :)17:56
mkrufkylaga: im only saying that userspace trying to support the multiproto api might be a wasted effort when the developer is unwilling to merge, and another developer is working on a better solution18:02
lagamkrufky: oh? got a keyword for me to throw at google?18:03
mkrufkymario_limonciell: i been trying to find you18:03
mkrufkychange your nick much?18:03
mkrufkyno, laga18:03
mkrufkyall i can say is that we wont be held up by developers that dont play nice18:04
mkrufkyat least, not forever18:04
lagamkrufky: so i guess you won't have an ETA either (for me). i'm moving soon and i'll have a dish there ;)18:04
mkrufkyi dont involve myself with dvb-s at all -- ur asking the wrong guy18:05
mkrufkyim just saying not to waste your time writing userspace software for a dead api18:05
lagamkrufky: alright, thanks!18:05
mkrufkythen again, there's no telling when a real api will come18:05
mkrufkyothers are already working on temporary solutions18:06
