bliZZardzw.r.t bug #228003 , openoffice.org-java-common is not part of the OO install. This does not look like a packaging bug but more of a an upstream one. Can someone give some ideas or correct me if i am wrong.05:37

hefe_biaHi! I have a short question: On bug 223280 somebody set it to Committed for the Ubuntu package while it is only fixed in upstream CVS. Should I set it back to confirmed?14:30
ubottuLaunchpad bug 223280 in rdiff-backup "rdiff-backup fails on file with unknown unicode character" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22328014:30
techno_freakhefe_bia, fix has been committed in the upstream source14:32
techno_freakhefe_bia, hence it is the right status14:33
hefe_biaOk, thanks. I think https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status is a little misleading in this case.14:35
hefe_biaMaybe "For an Ubuntu package, the changes are pending and to be uploaded soon (it's what PENDINGUPLOAD was in Bugzilla)" should be amended with "or fixed upstream."14:37
Hobbseetechno_freak: or "fixed somewhere" ie "there is a fix"14:39
Hobbseeit doesn't necessarily have to be in the upstream source, afaik.14:39
techno_freakHobbsee, ok :)14:39
Hobbseeoh, interesting, it's changed meanings slightly.14:40
hefe_biaSo I guess anywhere where it will make it into the Ubuntu package someday?14:41
techno_freakhefe_bia, you can also comment it to the bug report14:41
hefe_biatechno_freak: It's already commented there.14:43
hefe_biaI was mislead by Bugs/Status - I thought "For an upstream project..." rule would only apply to the bug status regarding a "project", not the Ubuntu package.14:44

bliZZardzw.r.t bug # 241018, there is no 'fix' as such.. what should the bug status be?16:20
gnomefreakbug 24101816:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 241018 in openoffice.org "OOo 2.4.1 crashes on Export (to PDF) - Spreadsheet" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24101816:28
bliZZardzgnomefreak : (am tempted to ask this Q to u ) is GNOME's memory footprint larger than KDE?16:30
gnomefreakadding the upstream bug to the lp bug report is a good start so it can move to confirmed16:30
gnomefreakbliZZardz: offhand not sure16:30
gnomefreakbut decide what upstream link you should use16:30
gnomefreaksince they are different upstream bug numbers16:30
bliZZardzgnomefreak : even the upstream doesnt have a 'fix' - they just said the same16:31
gnomefreakbliZZardz: if they are still open it would suggest they are being worked on?16:31
gnomefreaktheme integration is optional as i recall and if its needed to make it not crash there is a problem that needs to be fixed16:32
bliZZardzgnomefreak : they are CLOSED upstream. Am not sure what is the equivalent of 'CLOSED' in lp.16:32
gnomefreakbliZZardz: invalid16:32
gnomefreakfix released if ther eis a fix16:33
gnomefreakthere isnt16:33
bliZZardzok - then i will invalidate it16:33
gnomefreaki still think ther eis a bug there that needs to be looked at or others will crash it since theme integration isnt manditory but i dont do OO.o fixes16:34
bliZZardzand what to do if Windows bug is reported in LP :P ? (bug 240159)16:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 240159 in openoffice.org "Last page isn't printed..." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24015916:34
bliZZardzok - i get your point. i shall mention the same in the comment.16:34
bliZZardzbut that means that an equivalent bug in upstream also should be opened - isnt it?16:35
gnomefreakbliZZardz: i commented on it16:36
gnomefreakthat bug needs an upstream bug attached if it happens on windows maybe its jus the locale being used16:36
gnomefreakbliZZardz: there maybe one already that they havent seen yet16:37
bliZZardzyou mean an upstream bug which is already existing for the former bug?16:39
gnomefreakits very possible16:40
gnomefreakthere should be upstream bugs on both bugs that i looked at16:40
gnomefreakbut that is up to OO.o guys16:40
bliZZardzgnomefreak : but shouldnt WE link it to upstream16:42
gnomefreakbliZZardz: we should16:47
gnomefreakwe do16:47
gnomefreakwe sometimes file it upstream for the users atleast we as in mozilla-ubuntu devs do16:48
macdbug 222804 seems fairly important, and is indicated its fixed, however it is not16:56
ubottuLaunchpad bug 222804 in fail2ban "fail2ban fails to start after reboot" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22280416:56

iustinhi, anyone could help me with pointers on how to deal with a bug?18:49
techno_freakiustin, sure18:51
iustinthanks18:51
techno_freakiustin, never ask to ask, just ask your question :)18:51
iustinso I'm one of the Debian maintainers for the package ganeti, and in Ubuntu there's a (valid) bug (243828) about the version of the package in hardy18:52
techno_freakbug #24382818:52
ubottuLaunchpad bug 243828 in ganeti "should depend on python-simplejson" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24382818:52
iustinthe version in debian is fixed for a while, but hardy has an old version without the fix18:53
iustinsince I think hardy is released, can this be fixed in the hardy version? or is it too minor?18:53
techno_freakIulian, if am not wrong, we can mark it as fix released. can you comment in that bug, as well confirm it?18:53
techno_freakerr... iustin ^^18:53
techno_freaksorry Iulian18:54
IulianNo problem.18:54
iustinso, the bug editor allows me to choose either confirmed or fix released; should I do it in two steps? (first confirmed, and then fix released)18:55
techno_freakIulian, on the above bug, do we mark it as sync request or something?18:55
techno_freakiustin, fix released and comment will do :)18:55
iustinah, ok118:55
iustinerr, ok!18:55
IulianI think the fix is in Intrepid, not in Hardy.18:56
iustinindeed18:56
Iulianiustin: Check the version from Intrepid.18:56
iustinthe version in intrepid is fixed indeed18:57
iustinbut the hardy one not18:57
techno_freakso it is fix released right?18:57
Iuliantechno_freak: Yes18:57
