pochulet me know tomorrow, I'm off to bed now00:12
devfilpochu: I'm uploading it now, so the best think is to wait ;)00:13
devfiland it needs attention00:13
pochudevfil: you could save bandwidth uploading just the diff.gz to the bug report ;)00:14
devfilpochu: I know, but I prefered this solution to have the orig.tar.gz with the good md5 etc...00:15
pochuah, right00:15
pochuoh, let dato know about it, in case he uploads to Debian, so we have the same tarball and can sync in the future00:16
devfilnow orig.tar.gz generated by get-orig-rules had the same md5 for each launch of rule00:16
pochuthat's great00:16
devfilpochu: yes sure00:16

Hobbseelifeless: w.r.t?03:06
lifelessout of date client or something03:06
ajmitchprobably the icq mess03:06
Hobbseelifeless: oh yeah - icq being annoying again.03:06
lifelessajmitch: sounds like I'm hitting it :)03:06
lifelesswhats the story?03:07
Hobbseelifeless: they've pushed an update into proposed, afaik.03:07
Hobbseelifeless: every once in a while, icq decides that the old clients are too old, and won't let them connect.03:07
lifelesswith no other changes?03:07
Hobbseeso every once in a while, we have to bump the ICQ version string on the clients.03:07
Hobbseeyup.03:07
lifelessspethial03:07
Hobbseewell, presumably there's changes to the official clients, but not to us03:07
Hobbseeyes, very...03:07
ajmitchchanges probably means more advertising on the official clients03:08
Hobbseeajmitch: very likely.03:08
lifelesscan't pidgin just try a few new numbers and see if one works?03:08
Hobbseegood question - i'm only familiar with the kde3 kopete side03:08
persialifeless: kopete does something similar: if it fails to log in, it grabs the newest version codes from the net, and tries with those.03:09
Hobbseebut i think that's what the kde4 version is doing - auto-updating03:09
persiaHobbsee: Isn't it only auto-updating the ICQ version information, rather than the whole application?03:09
Hobbseepersia: yes, taht's what i meant, sorry03:10
persiaHobbsee: No need to be sorry: I just wanted to make sure I had the right story.  Thanks for the confirmation :)03:11

persiaThat's not safe.  The .h files might be more open (e.g. ISC vs. GPL) for a common interface, or more tightly restricted where compatibility with some specific implemenation is required.03:59

aboganiCould Someone review my package on REVU please?08:56

aboganiPlease be patient with me it's my first package. :-)08:56
aboganiThanks in advance!08:56
directhexsounds neat08:57
persiaabogani: Quick notes: 1) some of my points from January still stand, 2) You should target intrepid rather than hardy, 3) It's a new package, so still Initial release, 4) My lintian says policy is 3.8.009:07

persiaRight.  As this thread goes further, I get convinced of the benefits of the one-person, one-vote system.  We just need the right person.09:17
directhexthat reminds me, i was gonna work on some packaging this morning09:17
directhexbleh, new packages means NEW delay09:18
bliZZardzpersia : i plan to do some packaging this weekend. Are new packages being considered for Interpid?09:18
persiadirecthex: NEW delay isn't as bad when fear-of-NEW delay is short :)09:18
persiabliZZardz: Yep.  Look for needs-packaging bugs in LP for candidates.09:19
bliZZardzpersia: i was more ref to those which are not even present there - will those be considered now? or is it better to concentrate on 'needs-packaging' ?09:20
directhexi need to start beating my DD contact with a bigger pole, or start considering a 0ubuntu1 package09:21
persiabliZZardz: Things with needs-packaging are user requests.  If you want something else, you need to put on your user hat, and make a request :)09:21
bliZZardzpersia : follow up Q to the previous, should i also consider backporting the packages that i target for Interpid?09:22
bliZZardzor simply i can take it up later09:22
persiabliZZardz: Anything present in intrepid is potentially available to be backported.09:22
directhexnot anything.09:27
directhex"frameworks" are excluded, for example09:27
bliZZardz persia: i do not understand when you say 'potentially available to be backported'09:29
persiadirecthex: I doubt it: I suspect that if you had a framework that was a development target with no dependencies in the archive, it could be backported.09:30
persiabliZZardz: A request for backporting may be made for any package in the current development archive.09:30
directhexwell, yeah, dependencies is the problem. the cited reason being risk of regression in too many apps, iirc09:31
persiaYou do.09:31

Laibsch?10:32
slytherinpersia: Cool. I will hopefully have batik updated and uploaded to review by tonight.10:32
persiaslytherin: Note that until xml-commons-external passes both source new and binary new, batik is likely to FTBFS.10:34
slytherinpersia: That is fine. The package review will take time. I will add a note on revu saying it needs xml-commons-external.10:35

LaibschThat sounds good.10:44
LaibschI tried -S, but then failed to sign the packages10:44
Laibschs/packages/files/10:44
james_wpersia: it requires a builder that works from inside an unpacked source package, like dpkg-buildpackage does. I'm not familiar with sbuild.10:44
Laibsch.changes etc10:44
persiaLaibsch: debsign can help with that.10:44
persiajames_w: Ah.  sbuild acts on prepared source packages.  I suspect bd -S is the appropriate workflow for sbuild users (and likely also for most pbuilder users if they expect to get the results into Ubuntu)10:45

sebnerIt confuses them12:43
sebnercody-somerville: though I'm a universe-contributor so you could trust me xD12:43
sebnercody-somerville: buh long ago. I'll check my bug reports12:43
Hobbsee....that's oh so wrong, on oh so many levels...12:43
sebnerHobbsee: hmm?12:43
persiasebner: Please do provide some information including 1) Why any Ubuntu variation can be dropped, 2) what is good in the new version, and 3) whether it compiles & runs under the current development target.12:44
Hobbsee[21:41] <sebner> cody-somerville: once an archive admin told me I shouldn't write more text since it will take them more time to read and check if it's ok O_o12:44
persiaEven if the archive admins ignore it, it helps the rest of us understand why something was pulled or overwritten.12:44
Hobbseearchive admins shouldn't be checking if it's correct anyway12:45
RainCTsebner: bah, I don't trust you anymore :P12:45
Hobbseethat's the job of the sponsor, or the MOTU.12:45
sebnerpersia: well the syncs I filed are real since and they were syncs in the past so nothing to drop, I testbuild everything so the only thing is to write why I sync the new version12:45
Hobbseeand if they can't get that right, they clearly should not be sponsoring / requesting a sync for that particular package.12:45
Hobbseesebner: were you filing sync requests while the autosync was still on?12:46
sebnerHobbsee: nope12:46
Hobbseehm12:46
cody-somervillesebner, Even if there is no Ubuntu delta, you should mention that.12:46
persiasebner: You write the rationale for the sync and the new Debian changelog?12:46
sebnerHobbsee: btw, why was the auto-syncs going crazy yesterday?12:46
Hobbseesebner: it should be off, so i've no idea.12:46
sebnerpersia: not the rationale ;\12:46
* Hobbsee does not have access to it.12:46
sebnercody-somerville: exactly that was the complain by a archive admin12:47
persiasebner: I think the rationale is the most important part: why should we sync?  Post DIF, we ought have some reason, and pre-DIF all non-auto syncs are overwriting Ubuntu variation.12:47
cody-somervillesebner, Well, if you tell us his or her name we can send Hobbsee after them : P12:48
cody-somervilleIn the mean time, please follow the sync procedure.12:48
LaneyI just use the requestsync tool from ubuntu-dev-tools, which tells you to put a rationale in12:48
sebnercody-somerville: kk, /me becomes too sloppy filing syncs (like motu') :P12:48
cody-somerville;]12:48
sebnerpersia: shouldn't the u-u-c be somehow more trustful than a normal contributor? Besides you are right writing the reason why to sync12:49
persiasebner: Being sloppy about syncs is not ideal, regardless of which groups might accept one as a member12:49
persiasebner: It's not about trust: it's about documentation for people investigating things later.12:50
* cody-somerville nods.12:50
sebnerpersia: how big are my chances to get an ACK when I write: "Shiny new upstream version and still enough time to fix potential bugs" ?12:51
persiasebner: low.12:51
sebnerpersia: that was my work for hardy cycle. you should sponsor/complain more :P12:52
persiaHow about "New upstream provides features X, Y, and Z.  No new dependencies.  Compiles cleanly on intrepid, and runs well in Kubuntu".12:52
sebnerpersia: ok that's the long version of my sentence ^^12:52
persiasebner: Most of your stuff I saw in the hardy cycle had enough documentation that I could understand the reason for it.12:52
* sebner can't remember12:53
geserslytherin: I've seen the announcement for the java team meeting, perhaps I'll attend12:53
persiaYep.  Being just a little wordier than "shiny new upstream: please sync" is all that is required :)12:53
RainCTsebner: hey, my comment was serious :P12:53
sebnerRainCT: hrhr12:53
sebnerpersia: kay, will do in future. just a side-notice. (some) motu's are writing: Dear archive admins please sync + changelog ....12:54
cody-somervillesebner, and if you file sync requests on packages that are related you should probably mention if they need to be synced together or not.12:54
sebnercody-somerville: refer to sauerbraten or simutrans?12:54
cody-somervillemaybe.12:54
sebnerdidn't know that they can do that =)12:55
cody-somervillesebner, well, I don't want to approve one and not the other if it'll cause breakage.12:55
persiasebner: I don't like that behaviour from anyone, regardless of who.  Feel free to complain to them if you don't understand why something is a sync.12:55
sebnerpersia: I look at the changelog and the last ubuntu version and see why it is a sync so I don't mind. it's just, I already told you, that MOTU can do what they want and no one cares and a contributor always get complains (which are mostly good)12:57
persiasebner: MOTU also get complaints.  As I said, please complain if you see inappropriate behavious.12:58
persias/s.$/r./12:58
sebnerpersia: the problem is that it don't disturbe me so I would have to complain for others/the rules12:59

Festorfor all are made after the update18:32
FestorI think18:32
cody-somervilleAlso ,it appears that nire was having the same mixing problem with aplay.18:32
cody-somervilleHas the situation changed?18:32
Festor18:32
FestorI think that when amsn create a profile takes the default options18:32
cody-somervilleRight so it won't affect people who have already ran aMSN - only people who would install it after your SRU18:33

Festorsorry for my bad English18:34
Festor:(18:34
Festorcody-somerville, We should use alsa always, no?18:35
Festorand where is the problem?18:35
Festorplay command does not exist in Ubuntu18:36
cody-somervilleFestor, If making the change doesn't fix the alleged problem then why make the change?18:37
cody-somerville(in terms of a stable release update)18:38
Festor18:39
FestorDo not solve the existing problem, but when a new user installs the amsn will not have the problem18:39
FestorIts the same as xdg patch18:39
FestorI think that when amsn create a profile takes the default options18:39
Festorthen all users without this update18:39
Festorhave the problem18:39
Festorbut new user will not18:40
AstralJavaFestor: play command exists, if you install sox.18:40
cody-somervilleOkay.18:41
cody-somervilleSo you're not actually trying to fix *that* specific bug.18:42
FestorAsh-Fox, for default sox is not installed18:42
Festorcody-somerville, That is not possible18:42
FestorFor this we should change the profile of each user of amsn18:43
PiciI'm only sort of following this, but changing the profile of each user is a bit out of the question, why not just add sox as a new dependency or similar to the package?18:45
FestorThat does not ensure that works18:45
Festorbut aplay yes18:45
Festorfrom ubuntu-es.org18:46
Festorhttp://doc.ubuntu-es.org/Preguntas_de_uso_frecuente#Mi_aMSN_no_emite_sonidos._.C2.BFC.C3.B3mo_puedo_solucionarlo.3F18:46
Festorit is in spanish but is understand18:46
pochuperhaps amsn should just depend on sox, it doesn't yet18:47
cody-somervilleIt doesn't qualify under debian policy to be a depend, does it?18:47
cody-somervilleHowever, doing that would be better than modifying the default config to use aplay18:49
Festorsorry but this is not the same case as "- Use xdg-open for file manager, and opening files - not just browser."18:50
persiaIs sox already in Recommends: ?  It may just be a manifestation of not installing Recommends:18:50
Festor18:50
FestoraMSN calls for a program that does not exist or is not installed18:50
cody-somervillepersia, It is a suggest18:50
Festorand in this case, you use xdg-open18:51
cody-somervilleFestor, But I wasn't doing an SRU18:51
Festorand what?18:51
Festorthere is the same problem18:51
cody-somervilleFestor, Yes and I'd be happy to sponsor your upload for Intrepid.18:52
persiaIf the default config expects it, I'd argue Recommends: is more correct.18:52
cody-somervillepersia, Thats what I was thinking18:52
pochuaccording to http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/amsn it depends on sox18:53
pochu(in dapper)18:54
Festorin hardy no18:54
pochubut we are talking about dapper, aren't we?18:54
pochuor is hardy also affected?18:54

PiciLooks like it was moved to a suggests for Gutsy.18:54
FestorI talking about hardy18:54
Festorand gutsy18:54
pochuah, ok18:54
pochuso does installing sox solve it?18:55
FestorI dont know18:55
persiaWhy was it moved to suggests?  Somehow I'd think that change ought be associated with a config change (which is hard, and violates policy)18:55
pochu  * Moved sox and docker from Depends to Suggests.18:56
pochunothing else in debian/changelog18:56
persiaSee, that's not very informative :(18:56
persiaShould close a bug or provide an explanation, else we don't understand what happened, and nobody is likely to remember anymore.18:57
Festorok, then we should put sox in Deppends?18:57
pochuwe would first need to verify that solves the issue18:58
ScottKFor Intrepid it sounds like recommends is appropriate (it will get installed by default).18:58
cody-somervilleI'll do an upload to Intrepid right now18:58

Festorno19:00
pochuso that was probably the reason19:00
Festorsince feisty/gutsy19:00
Festorthere is the problem19:00
pochuI guess we could put it in Recommends for Intrepid, and make it a depends for hardy and gutsy19:00
persiaIf it's not the default config, I'm not sure we ought make it Depends: that installs it on thousands of systems that may not need it.19:01
pochupersia: it is the default config. aplay isn't19:02
pochuit's not enabled by default, though19:02
persiapochu: Being in the default config and not enabled by default confuses me:  I'm refraining from more opinions on the subject until it's a better time of day locally.19:02
highvoltagehowdy motus.19:03
FestorNow I will try sox19:04
highvoltageI lost my gpg key about 18 months ago (and its backup) and created a new one earlier this year. the problem is that it isn't signed by anyone yet19:04
highvoltagecould I still submit debdiffs if I'd like to fix a bug in a package?19:04
pochupersia: sound is disabled by default, but if you enable sound, it will use play, which isn't installed, so sound won't work19:04
pochupersia: so a) we put sox in depends so it's installed, b) we switch to aplay (but that would mean alsa-tools needs to be in depends) or c) we do nothing19:05

stochasticmp3split is in the hardy repos as a command line tool, but there's a mp3split-gtk available19:24

highvoltageugh, 3.7-2ubuntu019:31

highvoltagethanks RainCT. why a 1 and not a 0 though?19:32
ScottKExcept in exceptional circumstances we start counting at 1.19:32
highvoltageok19:33
persiahighvoltage: If you are a diehard "counting begins at 0" person, consider 0 reserved for later use.19:33
stochasticFestor, it doesn't look like it's included in debian's repos anywhere, just on the mp3split website19:33
ScottKOne reason is that if 3.7-2 is in the previous release and it needs a security update, it can be 3.7-2ubuntu0.1 without conflict.19:33
pochustochastic: it doesn't look like it's in Ubuntu either, at least not as "mp3split"19:34

highvoltagepersia: ok :)19:35
highvoltageScottK: aah19:35
stochasticnow that I take a look at the .deb gdebi package installer tells me that beep-media-player is an unmeetable dependency, so the .deb would need some work before it can be in hardy19:36

ScottKaskand: The procedure for getting something into Main starts with getting it into Universe.21:55
askandThat I know :) I just want to know how the procedure for getting something in to universe goes21:56

geseraskand: there are two ways to get a package into universe: a) get it packaged in Debian and sync over and b) through REVU22:02

LaneyIf anyone has time, I've a package (btnx) on REVU which could do with a review :)22:41
ScottKLaney: Generally if you give a link your odds go up.22:44
LaneyScottK: Right, went for terseness. http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?package=btnx22:44
tooba2Laney: in the description there is a typo: "it's buttons" should be "its buttons"22:47
LaneyI knew I should have proof read that closer ;)22:49
Laney(copied from upstream)22:49
LaneyActually, that bit should probably be rewritten a bit anyway22:49
norsettolaney: If the license is GPL-2 change the pointer in debian/copyright to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-222:55
Laneynorsetto: Check22:55
tooba2Laney: do you already know about "script-in-etc-init.d-not-registered-via-update-rc.d" lintian error?22:56
Laneytooba2: I did not see that22:56
tooba2laney:http://paste.ubuntu.com/24817/22:57
Laneytooba2: Ah, I didn't run lintian on the deb, good catch!22:58
norsettolaney: also, change Section: universe/utils to utils only22:58
norsettolaney: do we have btnx-config?22:58
Laneynorsetto: That's awaiting REVU too ;)22:59
tooba2open question to expert MOTUs: if they depend each one on the other, does it make sense to split them?23:00
LaneyThey're two separate codebases upstream23:01
Laney(and btnx doesn't technically depend on -config, I've reworded that part)23:01
tooba2I see23:01
norsettotooba2: dependency loops shall be avoid unless necessary (which is the case in only few cases)23:01
Laneynorsetto: Is it valid to put -config as a Suggests: though?23:02
tooba2norsetto: thanks. Good night, everybody (whenever it will be for you)23:02
norsettoLaney: no idea what -config does, will it enhance the btnx package?23:02
Laneynorsetto: It lets you configure it23:03
norsettoLaney: what I mean is, will btnx run without it? Will it be better with it?23:03
LaneySo then you'd have -config depends: btnx and btnx suggests: -config23:03
LaneyYes, it'll be better with it. I don't know if you can configure btnx without -config, actually.23:04
norsettoLaney: well, then btnx-config shall be a dep of btnx23:04
Laneynorsetto: But that would be a dependency loop23:04
norsettoLaney: no, because btnx-config won't depend on btnx23:05
norsettoLaney: from what you tell me, you can install btnx-config (even though it will be useless), while you can install btnx without btnx-config23:06
norsettoLaney: "while you can't install btnx without btnx-config" even23:06
Laneynorsetto: You can install both without the other, but I don't know if you'd ever want to23:06
LaneyI'm thinking btnx-config depends on btnx and btnx recommends/suggests -config, so as not to create a loop if this is legal.23:07
LaneyThere could be a time in the future when we get btnx-config-qt, for example23:08
Laneyor a console version, whatever.23:08
norsettoLaney: it all depends (pun intended) if btnx can be used without the gui23:08
Laneynorsetto: It can be used but not configured AIUI23:09
norsettoLaney: can it be configured manually!?23:10
* Laney checks23:11
norsettoLaney: having this binary in /usr/sbin is against the FHS in my opinion23:13
Laneynorsetto: Right. You can configure it by editing a file in /etc/btnx, although it's not very friendly. But possible.23:13
norsettoLaney: ok, I would make btnx-config a recommend of btnx and no deps in btnx-config on btnx23:15
Laneynorsetto: Are you sure? -config is useless without btnx23:15
Laneyand re: the FHS, btnx runs as a daemon. Does that affect whether it lives in /usr/sbin?23:15
norsettoLaney: it doesn't matter if its a daemon or not, the FHS is pretty clear on what can go there: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SBINSYSTEMBINARIES23:16
Laneynorsetto: I will put it in /usr/bin then23:18
norsettoLaney: the alternative is to have btnx stand alone and btnx-config have a dep on btnx23:18
Laneynorsetto: That's what I have now. I think that approach is more correct IMO - just didn't know whether btnx could (or even should) recommend or suggest btnx-config.23:18
norsettoLaney: mind you that the alternative its pretty standrd for programs which have stand-alone guis23:19
LaneyI guess I'm thinking of a situation where you just install btnx and copy the config file around23:20
norsettoLaney: in the README it says "23:21
norsettoYou must install23:21
norsettoand run btnx-config before btnx will work23:21
Laneynorsetto: Yeah, upstream says that. But it does work without it23:21
norsettoLaney: do you need (>= 0.21) for pkg-config?23:22
Laneynorsetto: I got that from upstream23:25
LaneyWhich is another way of saying that I don't know ;)23:25
norsettoLaney: where is that? In his webpage? 'cause there is no version check in his configure23:28
Laneynorsetto: He has a PPA version which has that b-d23:29
norsettoLaney: looks fishy to me, I would just use pkg-config, not that we really want to backport this to dapper but, if its not needed, lets not use it23:30
LaneyOK, I guess it doesn't matter23:30
* Laney also removes debhelper b-d as that is pulled in by cdbs23:31
norsettoLaney: add copyright in debian/copyright, note that there is something funky in revoco.c23:33
LaneyOoh, good catch23:34
norsettoLaney: file revoco.c has no copyrights (it was written by an animal) :-)23:34
norsettoLaney: that is from btnx.c23:35
taconeanimals ?23:35
* Laney has no idea what that means23:35
Laneynorsetto: http://nion.modprobe.de/blog/archives/535-Fun-with-copyright.html23:36
* Laney gets even more confused, very weird23:37
norsettoLaney: and the init file is just s**t, you should rewrite it from scratch23:37
norsettoLaney: forget that. I was looking at the wrong file (phew)23:39
Laneynorsetto: The init file thing?23:39
norsettoLaney: yes, why is cdbs not adding adequate prerm, postinst scripts? God bless cdbs23:40
LaneyHmm, I guess this is why the update-rc.d warning is happening23:41
* Laney digs23:41
norsettoLaney: anyhow, give a through check to the init file, it looks like if it fails will make the package uninstallable and unremovable23:42
LaneyOh whoops, looks like I've had btnx-config installed all along, and it *is* a dep after all.23:46
norsettoLaney: then we have no choice, btnx depends on btnx-config and btnx-config doesn't relate to btnx23:54
Laneynorsetto: Yes, I've done that23:55
LaneyAnd I agree with you about the init file, needs a bit of work23:55
norsettogotta go now, see you all again23:55
