persiamouz: If the fix is done upstream, it's good to try to make sure it's in intrepid and close the intrepid task as "Fix Released" to encourage approval of your SRU candidate.01:24
kirklandkees: hey, i'm starting the MainInclusionReport for ecryptfs-utils01:29
kirklandkees: it only has one dependency not already in main...  libpkcs11-helper1 (source: pkcs11-helper)01:29
keesall build-deps will need an MIR too01:30
kirklandkees: does that mean 2 separate MIR's?  one for ecryptfs-utils and one for  pkcs11-helper?01:30
kirklandkees: ah, okay01:30
keesI think so, yeah.  and check all of pkcs11-helper's deps too01:30
kirklandkees: i guess the other obvious alternative is to try and remove the dependencies01:52
persiakirkland: Please try to include them instead.  We've enough packages that get bug reports about things being disabled in an attempt to fit them in an MIR.  On the other hand, if it doesn't turn off functionality...01:57
kirklandpersia: interesting, is that a general consensus among MOTU?01:57
persiakirkland: I'm not sure, although I think it ought be :)01:58
ajmitchkirkland: people often expect features to be enabled if possible, I don't think it's a consensus, but something that comes through from bugs01:58
persiaThere's a bit of balance involved: anything getting MIR restricts upload access from MOTU, so all MIR are annoying to some degree.01:58
persiaOn the other hand, turning features off to wedge something into main annoys users, and MOTU often review the bug reports.01:59
kirklandthanks02:00
ajmitchit probably won't be too hard to get MIR approval for both packages02:00

ScottKkirkland: In some cases I've split packages into two source packages to get something into Main without losing functionality (see amavisd-new and amavisd-new-milter for an example)03:41
kirklandScottK: good pointer, thanks03:42
nxvlkirkland: but we need to split them?03:42
nxvlor at least, we can?03:42
kirklandnxvl: i'd think we should save that as an alternative03:44
kirklandnxvl: let's first try to get all 3 included03:44
kirklandnxvl: if we run into problems, we can try ScottK's suggestion03:44
ScottKJFTR, it was an observation, not a recommendation.  I have no idea what you are actually trying to do right now.  It should be kind of a last resort.03:45
kirklandScottK: understood, agreed03:45
nxvlScottK: yes, thanks, i was just making sure we can split it03:46
slangasekright, amavisd-new-milter is a case where splitting is the only real option for main inclusion, since "milter" implies duplication of MTAs in main :)03:55
slangasekwhereas kirkland's packages don't appear to be duplicating functionality03:56
persiaslangasek: Is duplication-in-main bad?  Should those cases where it is present result in demotion requests?03:57
slangasekpersia: it's a consideration for main promotion, since it increases the security support burden; and where MTAs are concerned, I don't see anyone wanting to support both postfix and sendmail... :)03:58
lifelessslangasek: exim4!03:58
slangasekmaybe the proposed archive reorg will make this less of a consideration03:59
StevenKslangasek: I've been told by pitti that sendmail has zero chance of hitting mail.03:59
persiaslangasek: In the specific case of MTAs, I suspect I agree (then again, I believe all sendmail competitors were written by people who didn't understand sendmail.cf)03:59
StevenKSigh, main03:59
slangasekZugschlus: oh hai, I didn't see you hiding there behind lifeless's nick03:59
StevenKHaha03:59
lifelessslangasek: ><03:59
slangasek:-)03:59
StevenKlifeless: You asked for that. :-P03:59
slangasekhmm, exim4 is /already/ in main?  how curious :)04:00
persiaIn that case, the existence of amavisd-new-milter is even more confusing.04:01
lifelessStevenK: given exim4 is in main, I don't think I did. Also it is good.04:01
slangasekpersia: augh slippery slope04:01
* persia anxiously awaits archive-reorg AKA nothing-in-main04:01
slangasek:)04:01
StevenKI don't really want to enter into an MTA flamewar, but I don't like exim.04:01
lifelessStevenK: fair enough. Each to their own I say, as long as its not qmail or sendmail.04:02
StevenKlifeless: We can at least agree on that. :-)04:02
StevenKI used to like exim. $OLD_WORK beat that out of me.04:03
persiaThe problem with MTAs is that none is perfect, so working for a while with any both makes the MTA one works with bad, and all the others confusing.04:03
ScottKpersia: I'm pretty certain Weiste Venema understands Sendmail.cf.  Of course he's probably also the only developer of a Sendmail competitor to get a Sendmail developers' award.04:34
StevenKHa. I like that.04:36
StevenKI'm also amused that Postfix supports milters.04:37
ScottKThat's what he got the award for.04:38
ScottKA kind sole who knows a little about init scripts might want to have a look at Bug #238744 and see if they can figure out how to help the reporter out.04:38

persiaScottK: Right.  Does he like sendmail.cf?04:40
ScottKpersia: No.  That's part of why he wrote Postfix.04:40
persiaScottK: It seems to be the common excuse for not using sendmail.04:41
ScottKexcuse/reason, yes.04:42
* persia puts the "Sendmail is the best MTA ever" placard back in the back of the closet, to again accumulate dust04:43

LucidFoxAre all KDE4 dependent builds broken now, or am I just missing something?04:48
LucidFox  kdelibs5-dev: Depends: kdelibs5 (= 4:4.0.80-0ubuntu5) but it is not going to be installed04:48
persiaLucidFox: There was an issue with half-in-main at one point: you might ask in #kubuntu-devel to see if it has been sorted (unless someone else answers here)04:49
LucidFoxthanks04:49
ScottKIt's not totally sorted04:52
ScottKProgress has been made.04:52
RAOFOmega[1];04:53
RAOFAhem.  #ubuntu-motu != maple04:54
ScottKpersia: You get pitti to agree to MIR Sendmail and then we can unsplit the package.04:57
ScottKI could see some utility in splitting libmilter out into it's own source and getting that in Main so we can have supported milters for Postfix, but beyond that, I don't think so.04:58
persiaScottK: I may be insane, but I'm not quite that masochistic.05:00
ScottKThus the existence of a separate amavisd-new-milter source package in Universe.05:01
ajmitchsendmail in main? I think there'd be a few tears over that one05:04
StevenKA few?05:07
pwnguindo i need to manually file a sync request at this point or does launchpad or whatever Debian sync stuff keep track of changes in unstable?06:49
RAOFIt's autosync at this point.06:50
pwnguinso if i saw a new upload in debian today via rss its in some build queue already?06:51
persiapwnguin: Mind you, you will need to file a sync if there was previously variation in Ubuntu, and such variation is no longer required.06:52
persiaThe autosync script is run manually, generally two or three times a week.06:52

pwnguinpersia: i dont follow. if there was ever an -ubuntuX version autosync wont work?08:34
pwnguinor just in the "looks like a merge" case?08:34
pwnguinprobably the latter.08:35
persiapwnguin: autosync won't automatically overwrite: it becomes a merge candidate.  Once the package is back in sync, all history of *ubuntuX is lost (changelog is in sync), so there was never an *ubuntuX version.08:36
pwnguinok08:37
pwnguinmakes sense08:37
pwnguinthe former would be stupid ;)08:37
pwnguinat any rate, the package I'm after should take care of itself then08:38
persiaYeah, although I remember one case where Debian sync'd from Ubuntu (including changelog), and it became a merge candidate.  I think that's fixed now.08:39
pwnguinim sure thats happened08:39
persiaLess often then you'd think.  Most of the Ubuntu people who are also Debian people are good about the changelog, and most Debian maintainers are careful enough with their package to keep the changelog clean.08:40
pwnguinim just saying it's probably happened once, given the number of new package requests motu sees08:40
persiaI think most of the occurrences were around the introduction of the Ubuntu patch to packages.qa.debian.org08:40
pwnguinhuh08:41
persiaWell, the ftp-masters are good at catching that.  We've had a lot of packages in Ubuntu and then in Debian, but usually they are changelog-clean by the time they arrive.08:41
pwnguinah. hurray for oversight08:42
pwnguin<-- not a DD08:42
persiaThat's one of the reasons that those who want long-term credit for packaging something new are encouraged to get it into Debian, so their entry in debian/copyright doesn't get overridden.08:42
pwnguinwa?08:42
persiaOK.  So Alice packages libfoo for Ubuntu, and puts "This package was debianised by Alice" in debian/copyright.08:43
pwnguinsure08:43
persiaLater Bob packages libfoo for Debian, and puts "This package was debianised by Bob" in debian/copyright.08:43
persiaAfter this, Chris reviews the merge candidate, and requests a sync.08:43
pwnguinand then a dd fulfills a ITP without looking?08:43
pwnguinyea08:44
persiaSo Dana, an archive admin, does the sync, and overwrites Alice's credit.08:44
pwnguinso basically, duplication of effort, not spurious deletions of debian/copyright filse08:44
pwnguinfiles08:44
persiapwnguin: Well, it's more common when someone puts something into REVU, and doesn't file an ITP (or at least an RFP with a pointer at the Ubuntu package).08:44
persiapwnguin: Right.  Overwriting debian/copyright due to duplication of effort.08:45
persiaDebian always wins.  Ubuntu follows that policy in large part because it encourages collaboration.08:45
pwnguinheh08:45
pwnguinim reminded of a paper i read yesterday08:45
pwnguinif you want to "win" an stop sign intersection, dont make eye contact with the driver coming from the right08:46
pwnguin"in fact, he argues the strongest move one can make is to throw the steering wheel out the door!"08:47
* persia suspects that advice doesn't work here, where left-on-red is generally considered OK08:47
StevenKOnly if he is a worse "Chicken" player than you are.08:47
StevenKLeft turn on red here is okay if the intersection is signed for it08:47
pwnguinleft on red?08:47
pwnguinyou're nuts08:47
pwnguinor drive backwards08:48
StevenKWe drive on the left hand side here08:48
persiapwnguin: No, we drive normally.  Two to one.08:48
persia(disclaimer: I no longer drive)08:48
pwnguinseriously08:48
StevenKLeft is right. :-P08:48
pwnguinwhy am i the only guy who stays up late?08:48
pwnguinanyways, debian never had a steering wheel08:49
pwnguinalso, the allegory is a 4 way stop with two drivers going straight08:50
persiaRight.  Just keep going.  If the other driver also follows this rule, accellerate08:51
pwnguinbasically, by pretending to ignore the other guy, he as to assume you dont see him and so on to "win"08:51
pwnguinpersia: you seem like a natural at this ;)08:51
persiasee previous point about me and driving.08:51
StevenKNote to self: Never drive with persia08:51
persiaStevenK: Driving with me these days is safe: I generally hire a professional.08:51
StevenKIf you calling a taxi driver a professional, I suggest you inspect the taxi drivers in Sydney and New York08:52
pwnguinhah08:52
persiapwnguin: The fault in the analogy is that Debian doesn't turn a blind eye (and never really has to Ubuntu, as opposed to the many other derivatives).  Allowing Debian overwrite is Ubuntu driven, to the frustration of some people in Debian who would prefer Ubuntu overwrite for new packages.08:53
pwnguinnever get in a car with a driver behind the wheel who came to america thinking "what's the worst that could happen"08:53
persiaStevenK: In Sydney, I was unhappy, and generally tried to restrict travel to beween 4:00 and 7:00am, and look to a known safe driver in the evenings.  In New York, I take trains (although some of the limousine companies are acceptable)08:54
persiapwnguin: From that comment, I will take a stab at the nationstate in which you reside, and reference the intersection of Summer Street and Cutter Avenue in Somerville Massachusetts as proof that it's a rare place that completely prohibits left on red.08:55
pwnguini recognise the word massachusetts08:56
pwnguinbut ive never been there08:56
pwnguinamerica is bigger than new york, after all ;)08:57

persiaOK.  Explain your situation to answers.launchpad.net/launchpad.09:24
siretarttarzeau: did you revoke your old userid on your key? and did you upload that key to 'keyring.ubuntu.com'?09:25
persiasomeone will likely ask for some proof of identiy, and help you.09:25
tarzeausiretart: no, would it then work?09:25
tarzeausiretart: i'm still speculating to get the name again and reactivate it09:26
tarzeausiretart: besides once revoked, i can't unrevoke it anymore so i want to keep it like this09:26
siretarttarzeau: well, if you lost access to that mail account, I'd consider it natural to express this in your public key09:26
tarzeaupersia: what kind of proof of identity?09:26
siretarttarzeau: by signing that userid you are testifying having control over that email adress. which you don't.09:26
persiatarzeau: I don't know.  I've never done it myself.  I have heard of others who were able to sort out lost LP access.09:27
persiaAlso, you do want to update your GPG key to reflect your current email.  Anything else is incorrect.09:27
tarzeaupersia: it is up to date09:27
tarzeausiretart: i just don't want to revoke an email address that i might use again09:27
persiatarzeau: Including the revocations for the addresses you no longer control?09:27
tarzeaupersia: i will be in control again, it's just temporary09:28
tarzeaupersia: would removing the ids work?09:28
tarzeauand then adding them again later?09:28
persiaYou can't remove.  You can only revoke.  I wouldn't revoke if you expect to add again later, unless there's a big gap of time in the middle.09:29
tarzeaupersia: ok, that's what i do. but can i use the key on launchpad meanwhile?09:29
persiatarzeau: For that, try asking in #launchpad.09:30
tarzeaupersia: i'm asking on the url you gave me09:30
tarzeau#35788 ...09:32
siretarttarzeau: think if you paste a clearsigned request to have your primary account address changed to some other adress you actually can read, that should do it09:33
siretarttarzeau: paste in a support ticket, that is09:33
tarzeaui can't merge the accounts either since the primaryily registered email doesn't work temporarily09:33
tarzeausiretart: the ticked i made is not a support ticket?09:33
siretartyou change your primary account later again09:33

siretartstill I think you want to have the primary contact adress changed by some admin. which ticket #35788 doesn't say09:35
siretartor forcemerge the other accounts09:35
tarzeauhow?09:35
tarzeausiretart: i'll add that to the ticket09:35
tarzeausiretart: thanks, added09:36
wgrantPerhaps include a request to merge all of your accounts with your current one, signed with the OpenPGP key associated with those other accounts?09:37
wgrantThat's probably the easiest way to do it.09:37

Riddellthat's fine11:33
siretartso yes, as long as we don't want to demote dependencies along with openal, it needs to go to main11:33

FalkenHi everyone19:11
FalkenI just uploaded my very first package on REVU. It doesn't show up on http://revu.ubuntuwire.com .. what am I doing wrong ?19:11
ScottKFalken: How long ago did you upload it?19:18
FalkenScottK: about one hour ago19:20
Falkenthere is already a package with the same name which was uploaded 2 months ago by another person19:20
Falkenbut I don't know how it's supposed to work. Mine is up to date, should I do something to overwrite the old one ?19:22
ScottKIt should just work.19:23
ScottKIf someone else was working on the package already, have you checked with them to see if they are still interested?19:23
Falkenyep, it's the upstream guy. we talked about it on launchpad19:25

CliphHi, I'm building a meta-dpkg and it has a bunch of dependencies that are also available in my repository, when I try installing <my-meta-package> I get a message about some of my dependencies stating "Depends: <other dependency> but it is not going to be installed"  Here is a pastebin of the output and my control file: http://pastebin.com/d1efb6512 And here is a pastebin of apt-cache policy <my-meta-package>: http://pastebin.com/d7e10ae2b20:39

CliphIf this isn't the best place to get help with this issue please direct me to the right one. Thanks!20:41
geserCliph: what happens when you try to install one the mentioned packages, e.g. jazinga-gui ?20:49
Cliphoh, I see20:51
Cliphgui depends on jami, depends on some other packages and so on up the tree20:51
Cliphlets see what I can do ...20:51
CliphI see I see, the dependencies cascade and there's an unmet package deep down the dependency tree20:53
Cliphthat was it, that helped me, thank you geser, there were dependency problems deeper down, now I know what that error message too. Thanks again for you help.20:57
RainCTFalken: your upload was rejected, probably because you aren't in the revu-contributors group or you joined it recently and you are not yet in the keyring (I can update it if you can confirm this)21:11

leleobhzsistpoty: right!22:06
leleobhzsistpoty: a little mistake uploading binaries22:06
leleobhzsistpoty: and after ive seen havea archived package.. (but ive used cdbs)22:06
sistpotyleleobhz: thing is, that the .changes file (which you upload via e.g. dput) describes what files to put up there22:07
sistpotyleleobhz: so if the .changes files points to a .deb, then it's a binary upload22:07
sistpotyleleobhz: which revu however won't accept22:07
leleobhzsistpoty: yep... ive uploaded the source after this22:07

nxvli'm talking about Bug #23876122:11

nxvlsince it first run a script which in dash it will interprete the \n but in bash don't22:13
a|wenleleobhz: what's with the package?22:13
nxvlso for dash i needed to add some more \'s22:13
nxvlto end with the same result22:13
leleobhza|wen: ive created it again because ive dont seen you package before22:13
leleobhzi forgot to look at archived package22:14

leleobhzso, the version 1.1.2 are uploaded as a new package]22:14
a|wenleleobhz: ahh ... it's in debian now; and i got it included in intrepid (was to late for hardy at the time)22:14
leleobhza|wen: so it ill get syncronized with debian and my package droped?22:15

slangasekthat seems... unfortunate22:15
a|wenleleobhz: where is your package atm.? ... link?22:15

a|wenleleobhz: login at the front page let's you add comments22:25
leleobhzhow can i do my first login?22:26
sistpotyleleobhz: use your email from the upload as login, don't enter a password. then you get a link to recover your password22:27
leleobhzsistpoty: yes yes, but show-me only a screen telling me to run a gpg command22:27
leleobhzand notting on my email22:27
a|wenleleobhz: if you fancy packaging python modules, there is actually a debian python group ... it's a great way to collaborate about python packages; and they are quick at sponsoring ... and you can get the packages sync'ed from debian to ubuntu afterwards22:28
sistpotyleleobhz: yes, so run that gpg command, and it will decrypt your password, given that you have the private key ;)22:28

leleobhzsistpoty: and how can i resend it to revu?22:34
sistpotyleleobhz: you'll need to send it to a public keyserver and then revu's keyring needs to be resynced to pick it up22:35
a|wenleleobhz: got your package now; thanks again ... i'll keep a look at your packaging when a new upstream version arrives22:35
leleobhza|wen: nice!22:36

leleobhza|wen: but i can be helpfull in debian without being a DD?22:39
a|wenleleobhz: they have debian mentors (much like revu) ... and then you request sponsorship on a mailinglist22:41
nxvlslangasek: the first one is inside double quotes, which are inside single quotes, whichare inside single quotes22:41
a|wenleleobhz: the good thing is that this way both ubuntu and debian will benefit for it22:41

sistpotyleleobhz: ah, found it. what a|wen wrote. then use key 1 (or key 2) to toggle between primary key and subkey23:00
sistpoty(or whatever the index of your elg-e key is23:00
