| knix | ionstorm: You died a long time ago | 01:31 |
| kirkland | anyone here know where grub-install is called in the installation process? I'm not finding it in debian-installer, nor in the grub package itself | 01:32 |
| ionstorm | eh? | 01:32 |
| ionstorm | wrong ionstorm | 01:32 |
| knix | lol | 01:32 |
| ionstorm | im very much alive ;) | 01:32 |
| knix | ion storm was a gaming studio that decided to spend all its funding on extravagent offices and do next to nothing | 01:33 |
| knix | But they did produce Diakatana! | 01:33 |
| ogra | kirkland, i think thats anna, not 100% sure though | 01:39 |
| kirkland | ogra: hmm, still no grub hits | 01:40 |
| ogra | ah, no, anna is apt-install | 01:40 |
| ogra | its definately the last step the installer calls from menu | 01:41 |
| Keybuk | knix: didn't they also do Deus Ex ? | 01:41 |
| knix | Yes, butu let's not talk about that one | 01:42 |
| knix | Deus Ex was a decent game | 01:42 |
| knix | I don't want to associate that with ion storm | 01:42 |
| kirkland | ogra: right, i'm trying to find *that* code :-P | 01:42 |
| james_w | kirkland: grub-installer I think it's called | 01:42 |
| james_w | yup, there's at least a package of that name | 01:43 |
| kirkland | james_w: interesting, yeah, lemme check that out | 01:43 |
| james_w | kirkland: also, your package on REVU looks good to me now, hopefully you can find some advocates | 01:43 |
| kirkland | james_w: thanks much for the multiple rounds you gave me! | 01:44 |
| kirkland | james_w: i think there are a few... we were using it at the Lexington sprint and several people there asked me to package it | 01:44 |
| ion_ | benc: Online? :-) | 01:44 |
| james_w | kirkland: no problem, it's always good to have the potential advocates be pushing you | 01:45 |
| BenC | ion_: yeah | 02:02 |
| ion_ | benc: Hi. :-) So yeah, cking’s patch seems to work for me. Any comments about the debdiff i sent? | 02:04 |
| ogra | ion_, oh, before i forget, can you poke me about the revu compcache stuff by beginning of next week, i will have some spare time by then and plan to do the rest of the casper implementation then as well | 02:04 |
| ion_ | ogra: Ok, thanks. | 02:05 |
| ogra | so that comes in handy to give you some ack on the package as well :) | 02:05 |
| BenC | ion_: excellent...I was hoping cking would respond, but I think he's off | 02:05 |
| ion_ | benc: One thing that has been bugging me is that one needs to run grub-install manually after e.g. stage2 has been updated. I wonder how to fix that? | 02:07 |
| ion_ | benc: Could e.g. update-grub overwrite files in /boot/grub from /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc? A full grub-install shouldn’t be necessary, i think. | 02:09 |
| ion_ | Or just the postinst | 02:10 |
| slangasek | if you don't do a full grub install, there's a danger that the stage2 isn't compatible with the stage1 in the boot block | 02:10 |
| ion_ | Ok :-\ | 02:10 |
| slangasek | if you do a full grub install, there's a danger you'll toast it :-) | 02:10 |
| ion_ | Indeed. :-) | 02:11 |
| ion_ | Perhaps grub postinst and/or update-grub could just warn the user about the files not being in sync. | 02:12 |

| === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter | ||
| tkamppeter | Hi, I have a question about packaging | 08:33 |
| tkamppeter | I got from the OpenPrinting Japan workgroup 4 CUPS filters for PDF printing: imagetopdf, pdftoopvp, pdftoraster, and pdftopdf- | 08:35 |
| tkamppeter | They have four separate source tarballs for them but they packaged up all in one Debian package. | 08:36 |
| tkamppeter | I would like to know, whether I should better packaqge them as one PDF filters package (as the guys from OP Japan did) or as 4 separate packages. | 08:37 |
| geser | are new upstream versions released independently or in one batch for all? | 08:41 |
| persia | Alternately, do you expect to treat upstream as the OpenPrinting Japan group, or as the upstreams for the individual tools? | 08:42 |
| tkamppeter | For now they released them altogether, making 4 SVN snapshot tarballs and then taring them together into one big tarball with version number 0.4.2. From that they made a Debian package. | 08:44 |
| emgent | moin | 08:48 |
| persia | tkamppeter: So OPJ is upstream in both the sense of being the coordinators of the code and those from whom you received the code? | 08:51 |
| pitti | james_w: when you changed the perms in polkit, did you because it didn't work otherwise, or just followin upstream documentatin? | 08:51 |
| james_w | I changed to follow upstream documentation | 08:51 |
| james_w | then Debian changed to follow it too, but also spotted some places where upstream was wrong | 08:52 |
| james_w | I think I changed to use Debian's at that point | 08:52 |
| pitti | james_w: I think I'll just test it with what Debian currently has | 08:52 |
| james_w | upstream/Debian may have changed again | 08:52 |
| james_w | yeah :-) | 08:52 |
| pitti | and only divert where/if necessary | 08:52 |
| pitti | sometimes it shouldn't really matter | 08:52 |
| pitti | /var/lib/PolicyKit is 770; we have polkituser:polkituser, Debian has root:polkituser | 08:53 |
| tkamppeter | persia, yes. | 08:53 |
| tkamppeter | There are also future plans to move these filters into CUPS. | 08:53 |
| persia | tkamppeter: In that case, just use that tarball as a single source package for now. It can be dropped when the filters reach CUPS (unless you think they will get there soon enough that you want to patch them into CUPS in advance) | 08:54 |
| tkamppeter | So the package which I will make will probably soon disappear again. | 08:54 |
| tkamppeter | persia, I could aldo add them to CUPS directly, as they will go there anyway. I have also two other supposed to go into CUPS: texttopdf and pdftoijs. | 08:55 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, hi | 08:55 |
| pitti | hi tkamppeter | 08:55 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: if upstream will eventually merge them, then feel free to add them as patches to the cups package, yes | 08:56 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, WDYT about putting all the new PDF CUPS filters into CUPS directly to save the effort of introducing new packages which will disappear again one release later | 08:56 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, then I will do so, I will do it in the SVN, so both Debian and Ubuntu get covered. | 08:57 |
| pitti | right, please | 08:57 |
| tkamppeter | So all 6 new filters will be added there: imagetopdf, texttopdf, pdftopdf, pdftoopvp, pdftoraster, and pdftoijs. | 08:58 |
| pitti | james_w: ah, debian bug 482064, that's enlightening | 08:58 |

| metellius | im working on a bug on ark/kde which is caused by libzip on ubuntu not compiled with -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. how can I confirm this after downloading the package source with apt-get source? | 09:38 |
| metellius | in other words, where are the compile directives usually located in the package layout? | 09:38 |
| geser | check debian/rules or the Makefiles | 09:45 |
| === dholbach__ is now known as dholbach | ||

| pitti | mvo: do you think there's any chance to verify the current update-manager bugs in hardy-proposed? many of them are quite special, pwoerpc, sparc, etc. | 10:21 |
| pitti | mvo: since the upgrade still works in general, we could copy it to -updates, and close the bugs with a comment to reopen them if it's still not fixed? | 10:22 |
| pitti | (at this point I'm more eager to actually get the thing into -updates and do regression testing than to reproduce all the bugs) | 10:22 |

| davmor2 | Guys I'm smoketesting iso at the moment and Alternative comes up with the following message: | 10:45 |
| davmor2 | No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel version available in the archive............. | 10:45 |
| pitti | davmor2: known; cjwatson updated d-i for the current kernel this morning | 10:46 |
| davmor2 | pitti: cool :) Thought it might of been some how :) | 10:47 |
| cjwatson | it got stuck on brltty-udeb having wrong dependencies; I fixed that but it failed to build due to a gcc-4.3 bug which doko independently (I think) fixed | 10:51 |
| cjwatson | so I retried brltty this morning and once that hits the archive I can retry d-i | 10:51 |
| cjwatson | I'm working on a cdimage change at the moment to fail CD builds when this sort of thing happens | 10:51 |
| doko | yes, the ICE should be fixed in -8ubuntu3 | 10:52 |
| cjwatson | it is, I tested that | 10:53 |

| james_w | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags | 12:15 |
| mdz | tjaalton: I've reproduced the problem on another system, and there, setxkbmap fixed it | 12:15 |
| james_w | it's -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 being default now I believe | 12:15 |
| pitti | FORTIFY_SOURCE enables that warn_unused_result write() attribute? that might be it | 12:16 |

| mdz | asac: I'm trying to test out auto GSM in network manager but having some trouble | 12:22 |
| mdz | asac: the first time, it asked for the SIM PIN (which I gave) then failed with: Aug 6 12:20:40 perseus NetworkManager: <WARN> automatic_registration_response(): Automatic registration failed: not registered and not searching. | 12:24 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have added the new filter's source code to the CUPS SVN now, and due to binary files (icons, japanese READMEs) in it debuild cannot build the source package. | 12:24 |
| mdz | asac: on subsequent attempts, it fails with: Aug 6 12:21:14 perseus NetworkManager: <WARN> check_pin_done(): PIN checking timed out | 12:24 |
| tkamppeter | Is there any possibility to have binaries in the debian/ directory? | 12:24 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: icons? | 12:25 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I thought you'd just add six .c files | 12:25 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: if every filter comes with 20 accompanying files, we should rather package them separately | 12:25 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I think they will not be used by the compilation. | 12:25 |
| tkamppeter | The installed CUPS will only have arround 10 non-doc files more, 5 filters and 5 conversion rule files. | 12:26 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: possibility 1: throw them out, possibility 2: uuencode them, and uudecode them on build (but that would make the build system unnecessarily complex) | 12:26 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I think I can opt for (1), japanese READMEs are only doc and English translations exist and the icons will not get used by the package build- | 12:27 |
| mpt | mvo, hi, did you see the PackageMaintainednessPresentation updates? | 12:29 |
| mdz | asac: sending AT+CPIN? to the modem elicits an immediate response: +CPIN: PH-NET PIN | 12:30 |

| pitti | argh, guile-1.8 hates me; now it complains about undefined reference to `lt__PROGRAM__LTX_preloaded_symbols' | 12:31 |
| pitti | that sounds libtoolish, did someone happen to see this before? | 12:31 |
| mvo | mpt: reading it now | 12:32 |
| mpt | ok | 12:32 |
| mvo | mpt: I will do corrections inline, ok? | 12:32 |
| mpt | mvo, sure | 12:32 |
| mdz | mvo: is there a way to use apt-get build-dep which would mark all of the packages as automatically installed, to make it easier to clean up after? | 12:33 |
| mvo | mdz: not currently, but it should be straightforward to add I think. let me have a look | 12:33 |
| mpt | mvo, from apt-get's man page it doesn't seem to have any equivalent to aptitude show. Is that true? | 12:34 |
| mvo | mpt: the command in apt is "apt-cache show" | 12:34 |
| mpt | ah | 12:34 |
| mdz | mvo: I always copy/paste into a text file and then remove later, but it seems like a logical feature | 12:35 |
| mdz | a config option to mark all newly installed packages as automatic for the current operation would do it | 12:35 |
| mvo | mpt: the wiki hates me, I did a smallish typo fix and it answered with a zero size reply (and a squid error) | 12:35 |
| mvo | mdz: right | 12:36 |
| pitti | mdz: heh, I do the same | 12:36 |
| mpt | mvo, want to use gobby instead? | 12:36 |
| mdz | asac: also, init.d/NetworkManager restart seems to fail often as it isn't finished shutting down yet when it tries to start again | 12:36 |
| DktrKranz | pitti, maybe https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220339 could help | 12:36 |

| pitti | DktrKranz: awesome, thanks | 12:37 |
| mpt | mvo, finished? | 12:38 |
| cjwatson | pitti: write()> if the fd is non-blocking then failing to check the return value of write() is definitely a very bad bug and will cause problems | 12:39 |
| cjwatson | pitti: even if not, it's worth fixing - usually indicates a bug | 12:39 |
| asac | mdz: could you add your hardware/provider to the table at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G and maybe file a bug with the info you gave above? | 12:40 |
| cjwatson | pitti: you can always (void) it if it's really throwaway | 12:40 |
| pitti | cjwatson: well, all of those could be wrapped into an assert() | 12:40 |
| asac | mdz: please also attach the lshal output | 12:40 |
| cjwatson | assert usually isn't the right response to write returning something unexpected | 12:40 |
| cjwatson | most of the time bugs are caused by failure to detect short writes | 12:41 |
| cjwatson | and the correct response to that is to retry with the remaining data | 12:41 |
| mvo | mpt: yes, thanks for your changes. you talked with sg about it, right ? I remember the discussions about the right terminology (supported vs maintained) | 12:41 |
| james_w | mvo: bug 248268 if you are going to implement the build-dep thing | 12:41 |

| mdz | asac: apparently, PH-NET (for some devices at least) means "The module has been banned from the network" | 12:41 |
| mpt | mvo, yes, with sg and mdz | 12:41 |
| mvo | james_w: aha, thanks! | 12:41 |
| cjwatson | gnulib has a full_write wrapper that deals with this, and lots of other projects have something similar | 12:41 |
| mvo | mpt: I think that clarifies it a lot | 12:42 |
| cjwatson | honestly, I think that any project that uses -Werror actively wants to know about this sort of thing | 12:42 |
| pitti | I'll file an upstream bug anyway | 12:42 |
| asac | kees: you remember libc fails with fortify source 2 in realpath? | 12:42 |
| asac | kees: redhat guy said to me that they dont have any issue with it :/ | 12:42 |
| cjwatson | although there are some exceptions (clueless upstreams who just go "ooh, bondage and domination"), the cases I've seen where upstream uses -Werror are usually those with very pedantic and careful upstreams who appreciate hearing about this kind of bug | 12:43 |
| james_w | mdz: I use http://paste.ubuntu.com/34717/ to install them from an unpacked source package | 12:43 |
| james_w | I should add a mode to install them for a particular package from the apt-cache output | 12:43 |
| mdz | asac: added; I don't know the model number and it isn't in lsusb's database, so I'm not sure if it's the same as one you already have | 12:43 |
| mvo | james_w: gdebi debian/control should install them as well | 12:44 |
| mdz | james_w: handy | 12:44 |
| james_w | mvo: ah cool, thanks | 12:44 |
| soren | cjwatson: You wouldn't happen to be subscribed to the parted mailing lists, would you? | 12:44 |
| soren | I sent a couple of patches there yesterday that I'd appreciate some feedback on.. | 12:44 |
| james_w | the advantage of that script is that they are installed automatically, and so will be removed with that package, and you can keep them installed for as long as you like | 12:45 |
| cjwatson | soren: IIRC I'm on parted-devel although I don't read it often | 12:45 |
| cjwatson | I'm not an upstream committer or anything, just a very occasional contributor | 12:45 |
| soren | cjwatson: Oh, ok. | 12:45 |
| soren | cjwatson: I somehow thought you were a bit more involved. | 12:46 |
| asac | mdz: have you tried to manually setup your gsm connection in connection editor? | 12:46 |
| asac | maybe you need to explicity set your APN or something | 12:46 |
| mdz | asac: I haven't, no. I'll try that now | 12:47 |
| cjwatson | soren: I followed up to your second patch with a query though | 12:48 |
| asac | mdz: in my blog someone gave the following info: http://paste.ubuntu.com/34724/ | 12:48 |
| soren | cjwatson: Cool. Thanks. | 12:49 |
| cjwatson | soren: your first patch should definitely be && (RW_MODE & O_DIRECT) at least, with the parentheses; the precedence order of & is often confusing and while it's correct in your case most people find parens around & to be worthwhile | 12:49 |
| mvo | mdz: do you think that the "auto" flag should be defualt for apt-get build-dep or should I add "--build-dep-automatic" or a option like this? | 12:50 |
| cjwatson | soren: and why the rw_mode and rd_mode temporaries? | 12:50 |
| Mithrandir | "/ and * before + and -, add parentheses aroud everything else". :-) | 12:50 |
| geser | tkamppeter: Hi, do you have an idea why I can only print portrait with intrepid and no landscape? | 12:52 |
| soren | cjwatson: I tried all sort of trickery to get RD_MODE & ~O_DIRECT to give me the correct result, but I couldn't (no matter how many "(int)" I tossed into the expression :) ). | 12:53 |
| mdz | asac: it looks like my device may be locked and require an unlock code | 12:56 |
| soren | cjwatson: Hmm... (int) (RW_MODE & ~O_DIRECT) seems to do the trick. | 12:57 |
| soren | I could have sworn (in fact, I probably did multiple times) that that was the first thing I tried. | 12:58 |

| mdz | asac: I have never used it before at all | 13:15 |
| mdz | asac: I think it is a provider lock | 13:15 |
| asac | mdz: lock == you mean you are trying to use it for a different provider than you initially got it for? | 13:16 |
| asac | or initial unlocking? | 13:17 |
| asac | for first use | 13:17 |
| mdz | asac: the former | 13:17 |
| mdz | asac: I bought it in the US and it came with a SIM for a US provider with whom I have no contract | 13:17 |
| mdz | asac: I've attached a patch to the bug which properly detects this case and logs an error | 13:18 |
| asac | anyway, i think NM should at least implement PH-NET PIN and PH-NET PUK ... and ask the user to type something | 13:19 |
| asac | ill check back with upstream on that | 13:19 |
| asac | thanks for the initial patch | 13:19 |
| mdz | asac: for now I just made it fail, since I don't know the code and can't test anyway | 13:19 |
| mdz | asac: P.S. this code sucks | 13:19 |
| asac | mdz: NM will switch to modem manager | 13:19 |
| asac | instead of its own basic code | 13:19 |
| mdz | char *[] in one function followed by a switch statement in a different function is crazy | 13:20 |

| asac | mdz: i assume you tried to just treat it as if it was the "normal" pin? | 13:26 |
| === thekorn_ is now known as thekorn | ||
| asac | ok i think i get that from your bug description | 13:27 |
| asac | sounds a bit wierd though that you have a lock that would prevent switching providers if that card is built into your think pad | 13:29 |
| mdz | asac: yes, tried the SIM PIN | 13:33 |
| mdz | asac: I have a call in to IBM to request an unlock code | 13:33 |
| asac | let me know if that turns out to be the right way. my card (external) never asked for anything like that and i think my X61 doesnt have such a modem | 13:34 |
| mdz | asac: it seems analogous to a normal mobile phone lock | 13:34 |
| mdz | where it's necessary to give the unit a code in order to use it with a provider other than the one it was purchased from | 13:34 |
| asac | right. but what interest has IBM to do that? does IBM run their own provider? or have partnered with some? | 13:35 |
| mdz | asac: when I purchased the laptop, it came with a SIM card from a certain provider, and the user is expected to sign up for a contract with them | 13:37 |
| asac | ok. that makes sense then. | 13:38 |
| mdz | asac: I read in a forum post somewhere that IBM could provide the unlock code. if not, presumably they will pass me on to the next place | 13:38 |
| asac | ;) | 13:38 |
| Treenaks | yay for SIM locking.. *sigh* | 13:39 |
| mdz | I paid for a warranty and will try to get some value from it | 13:39 |
| asac | ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/42x3545_03.pdf | 13:41 |
| asac | not sure if the number next to SIM unlock is really the code ;) | 13:41 |
| Treenaks | mdz: AT+CLCK=PN,2 should tell you the locking state | 13:42 |
| Treenaks | asac: no, that's the FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) code.. the thing you have to order from IBM to get the real code | 13:43 |
| mdz | Treenaks: that gives ERROR | 13:44 |
| asac | Treenaks: ok | 13:45 |
| * asac wonders if one can get a modem back into locked state to properly test the unlocking workflow and user-experience ;) | 13:45 | |

| mpt | mvo, how are updates to multiverse packages managed? Who looks after them? | 14:06 |
| mpt | and for how long? | 14:06 |
| wgrant | Same as universe. | 14:06 |
| wgrant | MOTU. | 14:06 |
| mpt | ok | 14:06 |
| wgrant | And for as long as we can be bothered. | 14:07 |
| ScottK | Although typically at a lower priority. | 14:07 |
| mpt | naturally | 14:07 |
| ScottK | AFAIK most MOTU aren't really excited about expending effort maintaining non-free stuff. | 14:07 |
| wgrant | multiverse has a fair bit of Free stuff though. That gets enough attention. | 14:07 |
| mpt | Do MOTU updates for a release peter out gradually, or do they roughly follow the Main/Restricted lifecycle? | 14:08 |
| wgrant | Non-security updates for all components naturally disappear after a few months. | 14:09 |
| mpt | thanks for the info | 14:13 |
| mpt | (this is about presenting who updates a particular package, and for how long, in the package management tools) | 14:13 |
| wgrant | Aha. | 14:13 |
| wgrant | With universe and multiverse there are no guarantees. Security support is particularly nonexistent, as it depends on a couple of us constructing updates, waiting for some weeks for somebody to upload them, etc. | 14:14 |
| wgrant | Why does it need to be exposed? For main/restricted sure, but there's little point for others. | 14:15 |
| mpt | well | 14:15 |
| mpt | There are some organizations who want to use only packages that they can rely on updates for, for X period | 14:16 |
| wgrant | Of course. | 14:16 |
| mpt | So presenting that is easy enough | 14:16 |
| ScottK | mpt: If it creates an opportunity for other entities to express their support offers, then I could see it being very useful. | 14:16 |
| wgrant | Documentation everywhere specifies that that is main. | 14:16 |
| ScottK | Except not everything in Main is supported and not for the same period. | 14:17 |
| ScottK | Where supported means "covered by Canonical support contract". | 14:17 |
| wgrant | Support seems to be undefined except for security. | 14:17 |
| mpt | Sure, but (a) spelling it out is easier than saying "Main" and then having to define "Main" separately, and (b) if ArchiveReorganization is implemented "Main" won't be a separate entity but these packages will still be a distinct category. | 14:17 |
| ScottK | Before you expose support status, I'd suggest we have a plan for accurately describing what is supported. | 14:18 |
| ScottK | We don't have that today. | 14:18 |
| ScottK | Adding U/I to expose wrong data is not progress. | 14:18 |
| mpt | Sure, that's part of the spec too, but not my part :-) | 14:19 |
| mpt | The hard parts, so far, are conveying (1) what Restricted means and (2) how long people can expect updates for the packages (that are currently) in universe/multiverse. | 14:20 |
| wgrant | (2) is 0. | 14:21 |
| mpt | fair enough | 14:21 |
| mpt | So any update is abonus | 14:22 |
| mpt | a bonus, rather | 14:22 |
| ScottK | It varies widely. Some packages are maintained as well, if not better, than many in Main. Most, not at all. | 14:22 |
| wgrant | Right | 14:23 |
| ScottK | I'd suggest describe them as "Community Supported" and then provide an explanation of what that means. | 14:23 |
| mpt | We're trying to distinguish "supported" (someone is on the end of a phone or mailbox) from "maintained" (someone provides updates) | 14:25 |
| mpt | we haven't done that well so far | 14:25 |
| ScottK | Makes sense. | 14:27 |
| ScottK | mpt: I think making the scheme extensible to allow something beyond supported == Canonical support contract is a key part of this. | 14:28 |
| mpt | yes indeed | 14:28 |
| mpt | other organizations may offer support too | 14:29 |
| mpt | but that doesn't mean that they provide updated versions either | 14:29 |
| ScottK | Right. I think the support/maintain distinction is useful. | 14:29 |
| * ogra finds that funny, i always thought supported means maintained by ubuntu-core-dev first place ... | 14:29 | |
| ogra | totally independent of a company | 14:30 |
| ScottK | I think the term is currently overloaded. | 14:30 |
| ogra | because you overload it with political stuff | 14:30 |
| ScottK | Not just me. | 14:30 |

| BUGabundo_work1 | pitti: seems fixed! thanks | 15:26 |
| pitti | \o/ | 15:26 |
| seb128 | pitti: that's a new source, they splitted the source upstream is seahorse and seahorse-plugins | 15:26 |

| pitti | ah, apparently we are missing a seahorse-dev for /usr/lib/libcryptui.so.0.0.0 | 15:44 |
| seb128 | pitti: we don't split it | 15:45 |
| seb128 | the lib is in seahorse itself though | 15:45 |
| seb128 | there is no .so though | 15:45 |
| seb128 | so either we split it or we add the .so and build-depends on seahorse | 15:46 |
| dholbach | talking about seahorse, seb128: do you know anything about seahorse-agent in intrepid? | 15:46 |
| seb128 | dholbach: that's what we are speaking about, read the backlog? ;-) | 15:47 |

| pitti | tkamppeter: debian/local/filters/pdftoopvp/ has a complete copy of poppler; please revert that, there's no way I'll ever upload that | 16:27 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I am currently building a CUPS package with the new PDF filters. AFAIR CUPS is synced with Debian. WDYT, is it then better that you upload the current SVN trunk to Debian and let Ubuntu sync it or should I upload a -1ubuntuN? | 16:27 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: it shuold build against the system poppler library | 16:27 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: too bad that it's already in the svn and thus now taking loads of space :( | 16:28 |
| * pitti wants uncommit in svn | 16:28 | |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have already asked upstream to remove it but I did not get any new version. They say that it is too complicated. | 16:28 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: huh? that can't be complicated at all | 16:28 |
| pitti | that's why we have libraries for in the first place.. | 16:29 |
| tkamppeter | Up to now I only succeeded to get rid of the Poppler copies in all the other filters. | 16:29 |
| === doko_ is now known as doko | ||
| pitti | really? they all copy the poppler source? *headdesk* | 16:29 |
| tkamppeter | Should I take out pdftoopvp until upstream fixes that? | 16:30 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: either that, or just fix it yourself | 16:30 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: but it should be easy, just drop the internal copy and set the -I paths right? it might need some small patches to work against the 0.6 API, but that shouldn't be hard | 16:31 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, the upstream developers are people from printer manufacturers who want to get these filters in for their new drivers. These people do not know much about free software development and especially not about distro packaging. | 16:31 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: but please avoid commiting huge chunks of code into packaging branches in the future; it just makes the download slow and is never the right answer | 16:32 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, for me it seems that they are accessing the Poppler code through private (non-API) interfaces or that they even hacked Poppler itself. | 16:32 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, what is the better way to handle this? | 16:33 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: can we do without pdftopvp for now? given the number of vulnerabilities in xpdf/poppler that sounds pretty unsupportable | 16:33 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: when you asked me, I thought that those filters would be single .c files with a couple of hundred lines, not complete software pacakges | 16:33 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I can take it out and give upstream a last chance to fix. If nothing comes until FF, we ship without pdftoopvp. | 16:33 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: if a project comes along with its own build system and dozens of files, it shuold be packaged separately | 16:34 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I mean, can we use other, already existing filters to replace pdftoopvp? | 16:34 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: like, using the old postscript route? | 16:34 |
| tkamppeter | The two sample PPDs coming with pdftoopvp show both PDF and PostScript paths. So these drivers are made to also work without pdftoopvp. So I think we can leave Intrepid without if we do not get a better version. | 16:36 |
| pitti | right | 16:36 |
| Adri2000 | pitti: could I ask you to accept the amsn gutsy-proposed upload please? it's the same patch as the hardy-proposed upload that got accepted yesterday. it's bug #234722 | 16:38 |

| tkamppeter | pitti, the other three filters are relatively small. Only a few C source files | 16:41 |
| Adri2000 | pitti: if that's needed, I got a second ack from DktrKranz (in #ubuntu-motu) | 16:42 |
| pitti | Adri2000: accepted, bug updated; thanks! | 16:42 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: as for the upload, I'd upload to debian experimental and sync from there | 16:44 |
| Adri2000 | thank you pitti :) | 16:44 |
| geser | tkamppeter: Hi, do you have an idea why I can only print portrait with intrepid and no landscape? | 16:44 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I get svn: Out of date: '/cupsys/trunk/debian/local/filters/pdftoopvp' in transaction '809-1' when trying to "svn commit" after the removal of pdftoopvp | 16:48 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: hm, does svn require to "svn rm" deleted files? | 16:49 |
| tkamppeter | I have done "svn delete" and now also "svn rm". It seems that it has only unregistered the files and not deleted them. | 16:51 |
| tkamppeter | Now after "rm -rf"ing and the "svn rm"ing the directory again it works. | 16:53 |
| tkamppeter | geser, is this generally for all files? Or only for a certain group of files or apps? Seems that there is a general regression in CUPS. | 17:07 |
| Adri2000 | pitti: could you also accept amsn-data which is in intrepid binary new? someone is complaining in the bug report that amsn is uninstallable in intrepid | 17:14 |
| pitti | weird, it shouldn't be uninstallable because of that, unless it's a separate source | 17:15 |
| pitti | Adri2000: ah, on -amd64 it would, yes | 17:15 |
| kees | pitti: sorry about the pickiness of the FORTIFY stuff. I figure it only some times gets in the way, and the final result is better code anyway. :P | 17:16 |
| pitti | kees: oh, in the end it's a justified complaint, it just came as a surprise | 17:17 |
| pitti | kees: and I wondered why it suddenly popped up; I forgot our different compiler flags | 17:17 |
| Adri2000 | uh? amsn and amsn-data come from the same source, but amsn depends on amsn-data, so it sounds logical that amsn is uninstallable if amsn-data is not available. no? | 17:17 |
| seb128 | Adri2000: there is no need to ping arch admin about binary new on IRC, we do those often enough, intrepid users should be able to deal with temporarly uninstallability | 17:17 |
| pitti | Adri2000: right, as I said, uninstallable on !i386; looking | 17:17 |
| pitti | Adri2000: done | 17:18 |
| Adri2000 | seb128: yeah but in this case it would be good to be able to verify that the bugfix works in intrepid, as there are srus on their way | 17:18 |
| Adri2000 | pitti: thanks | 17:18 |

| cjwatson | s/sync-source/requestsync/? | 17:54 |
| seb128 | ups, yes | 17:55 |
| slangasek | ahem; who made the alternate CD oversized by 6MB? | 17:59 |
| NCommander | slangasek, I didn't even know the alternate CD had seen any chances recently | 18:00 |
| doko | seb128: yes, maybe ... I'll look at it at debconf | 18:04 |
| slangasek | oh, it was undersized before because it was missing the kernel udebs again, sigh | 18:05 |
| NCommander | slangasek, anything I can help to debloat the CD? | 18:06 |
| slangasek | make software smaller | 18:07 |
| * NCommander would recommend recompressing packages using lzma compression if the onboard dpkg is large enough | 18:07 | |
| milosz_ | is this the right channel for questions about making Ubuntu packages? | 18:07 |
| * NCommander was toying around using w-b and buildd to recompress packages like that ... | 18:07 | |
| NCommander | milosz_, I'd recommend ubuntu-motu | 18:07 |
| milosz_ | NCommander, ok thanks | 18:07 |
| seb128 | doko: the good thing when using requestsync is that it writes in the title when the package is in non-free in debian for example so we don't have to go and look at that when doing the syncs | 18:09 |
| slangasek | seb128: any reason I shouldn't reupload totem-pl-parser to rebuild against current e-d-s? | 18:09 |
| NCommander | slangasek, I figure it would be possible to recompress the CD packages if not the entire archive relatively easily since the deb format is pretty simple | 18:09 |
| slangasek | (that'll trim some old e-d-s libs off the alternate CD for us) | 18:09 |
| seb128 | slangasek: no | 18:09 |
| slangasek | NCommander: we don't want to compress everything on the CD with lzma. | 18:10 |
| seb128 | I've just been too busy to do rebuilds, you are welcome to do those ;-) | 18:10 |
| slangasek | seb128: ok :) | 18:10 |
| NCommander | slangasek, speed/memory usage I take it? | 18:10 |
| slangasek | NCommander: yes | 18:10 |
| NCommander | bz2 then ;-) | 18:10 |
| slangasek | not enough savings to justify the work | 18:11 |
| alex-weej | milosz_: hai :> | 18:11 |
| NCommander | slangasek, its probably enough to get the CD undersize again, although it would still just prolong the issue that if Ubuntu keeps growing, one CD by itself might not be enough for a base system | 18:11 |
| milosz_ | hey alex-weej ! | 18:12 |
| NCommander | slangasek, alternatively, selectively recompress some of the larger packages. OpenOffice alone probably could free up quite a bit of space lzma compressed | 18:13 |
| slangasek | OpenOffice is already compressed with lzma. | 18:14 |
| NCommander | hrm | 18:14 |
| NCommander | slangasek, is there some way I can help with this, or shall I leave it in the cd admins | 18:14 |
| slangasek | NCommander: the stuff I'm poking at now is to get NBS libraries removed from the CD by rebuilding everything that depends on them; that doesn't require CD admin status, just ubuntu-core-dev status... | 18:18 |
| NCommander | NBS? | 18:19 |
| slangasek | not built from source | 18:19 |
| NCommander | slangasek, it seems hard to believe their are enough NBS's to bloat the CD by that much | 18:21 |
| slangasek | NCommander: evolution-data-server, with only two of its libs changing sonames, accounts for .5MB; so I'll be reclaiming that .5MB now. :) | 18:25 |
| NCommander | slangasek, you probably got the i386 disk undersize again (it was only over by a little bit) | 18:26 |
| slangasek | it's not over at all currently | 18:27 |
| NCommander | slangasek, there was an oversized file it on the daily images list | 18:28 |
| slangasek | hrm. true, and for some reason that wasn't in the email report | 18:28 |
| slangasek | race condition, perhaps | 18:28 |
| NCommander | slangasek, it is oversize by less than a megabyte, so it probably is good now | 18:29 |
| NCommander | Now you need to find 7.5 more MB to remove ;-) | 18:29 |
| slangasek | seb128: hmm, totem-pl-parser seems to FTBFS, using struct stat without including sys/stat.h | 18:32 |
| seb128 | slangasek: weird | 18:32 |
| slangasek | seb128: something else must have been hiding the header include bug before; I'll patch it up, but wanted to let you know | 18:32 |
| NCommander | slangasek, probably due to glibc2.8 .. | 18:32 |
| seb128 | slangasek: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/totem-pl-parser/trunk/plparse/totem-pl-parser.c?r1=148&r2=146&pathrev=148, fixed upstream already | 18:34 |

| seb128 | slangasek: http://download.gnome.org/sources/totem-pl-parser/2.23/totem-pl-parser-2.23.3.tar.gz if you want to do the version update, there is this change and a crasher fix | 18:34 |

| seb128 | thanks | 18:35 |
| DRebellion | slangasek, would you mind taking a look at monkeystudio in REVU to see whether it would now pass the archive admins? The new package uses Qt Designer and QScintilla from the archives. | 18:35 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: over the course of four years, we have already taken the majority of easy wins in terms of CD size; what remains tends to require more substantial thought, I'm afraid | 18:35 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, I know the pain, at my old job, I had to crush down all our inhouse apps (about 800MB), Office, and get it to fix on the Windows XP CD so they could be all installed in one go | 18:36 |
| cjwatson | at the same time, CD size is not our sole goal, and we have to consider longer-term maintainability as well | 18:37 |
| * NCommander would consider dropping the compilers off the CD if it really came down to size | 18:37 | |
| NCommander | Of course, the flipside is if you actually have to compile a kernel module when booted off the CD ... | 18:37 |
| * NCommander has done that ... | 18:38 | |
| cjwatson | size doesn't trump everything | 18:38 |
| NCommander | I'm aware of that ;-) | 18:38 |
| cjwatson | I mean, obviously it's a hard limit, but we try rather hard not to sacrifice features at its altar when we can avoid it | 18:38 |
| agy | Apologies for the slight overrun. I have completed maintenance on wiki.ubuntu.com. | 18:39 |
| seb128 | mdz: ^ | 18:39 |
| seb128 | (about the wiki) | 18:39 |
| slangasek | DRebellion: if you say that it's using the Qt Designer and QScintilla from the archives, then I don't think an additional review pass should be necessary; that was the only problem I saw when I was looking at it before. | 18:43 |
| mdz | seb128: thanks | 18:43 |
| tkamppeter | geser, pitti, this looks like a problem of the new pdftops filter of CUPS. It needs to be fixed, as apps are changing currently to output PDF instead of PostScript. Can you post an STR on http://www.cups.org/str.php? Thanks. | 18:44 |

| ogra | mumble ... asac after a reboot and starting FF i get FF restart notification ... that wasnt there before reboot | 19:55 |
| ogra | (and is pretty silly since i just rebooted) | 19:55 |
| asac | ogra: restart notification in the gnome panel? | 19:57 |
| ogra | yeah | 19:57 |
| ogra | i had a reboot notification after the upgrade ... rebooted and the first thing after starting FF in the fresh session was a popup that FF needs restarting | 19:57 |
| ogra | i guess its rather a libnotify issue though | 19:58 |
| asac | ogra: I'd say thats an update-notifier issue | 19:58 |
| ogra | or that | 19:58 |

| slangasek | tkamppeter: this appears to be because the ghostscript package includes 1.4MB of fonts that weren't needed before... | 20:28 |

| NCommander | I'm curious on who is working on the armel port for Ubuntu | 21:03 |
| infinity_ | NCommander: Many people. | 21:06 |
| NCommander | Well, I did some work on bootstrapping armel (built quite a few packages, not enough to run debootstrap to build a fully Ubuntu native port, but it was enough to do stuff in), and I was interested in helping on working on it | 21:06 |
| infinity_ | NCommander: The bootstrap will, out of necessity have to be done pretty much entirely internally, as we can't readily trust random binaries built by others. :/ | 21:08 |
| NCommander | infinity_, I'm aware of that | 21:09 |
| NCommander | infinity_, but I'd like to do something to help with the port if possible | 21:09 |
| ogra | mvo, i doubt i'll get it again now ... and it smells a bit like the reboot notification blocked it | 21:10 |
| * NCommander had even setup a dak installation on his local server to handle package management | 21:11 | |
| lool | NCommander: pong | 21:12 |
| infinity_ | NCommander: Once our bootstrap is out of the way, the best way anyone can help will be to look at build failures and upload source fixes for anything that's FTBFS on armel. | 21:13 |
| NCommander | infinity_, which is what I already do for amd64 ;-) | 21:13 |
| NCommander | lool, infinity_ helped me with my armel questions. I was curious if I could help with this effort; I had already done quite a bit of work on bootstrapping the port | 21:13 |
| lool | Ok | 21:13 |
| NCommander | how close is armel to actually existing as a port? | 21:14 |
| infinity_ | NCommander: If any of your bootstrapping required fixes, of course, feel free to get those in now, don't wait for us to stumble on the same breakages. :) | 21:14 |
| infinity_ | NCommander: We're provisioning insanely fast buildd kit as we speak, so it should be a live port pretty soon. | 21:14 |
| === infinity_ is now known as infinity | ||
| NCommander | infinity_, well, I had a little trouble bootstrapping the cross-compiler, but the parts of base I built worked fine once I made the cross-compiler build | 21:15 |
| lool | We're not cross building | 21:15 |
| lool | And I would guess the bootstrap will happen from a Debian armel chroot | 21:15 |
| NCommander | I used a cross-compiler just because my armel hardware is SLOW :-) | 21:15 |
| NCommander | But yeah, that's extactly what I did | 21:15 |
| infinity | Yeah, our armel hardware is... Fast. | 21:15 |
| NCommander | armel chroot, and then build packages | 21:15 |
| lool | infinity: SATA? | 21:16 |
| infinity | Like, really fast. | 21:16 |
| NCommander | infinity, freaking 1GHz hardware :-P | 21:16 |
| infinity | lool: The machine I last tested was SATA, (on-die, even) and a ridiculously wide memory bus. | 21:16 |
| infinity | lool: We're talking, GCC builds in only about twice the time that hppa does 'em. | 21:16 |
| lool | twice or half? | 21:16 |
| NCommander | o___o; | 21:16 |
| lool | Not that twice would be that bad | 21:17 |
| infinity | lool: Twice. But hppa isn't exactly slow. | 21:17 |
| NCommander | My armel 244Mhz box took about 7 hours to build the base compiler | 21:17 |
| NCommander | I'd wish I could get even close to that speed | 21:17 |
| infinity | gcc-4.3_4.3.1-2 -- 572:11 on hppa, 3077:33 on the Debian buildd, 804:29 on the hardware we're looking at. | 21:17 |
| lool | Pretty good | 21:17 |
| infinity | NCommander: We're talking a full GCC n-stage bootstrap build, with testsuite. | 21:17 |
| NCommander | infinity, I know ;-) | 21:18 |
| NCommander | infinity, as for the bootloader, packaging redboot wouldn't be too bad, but d-i probably shouldn't install it by default | 21:18 |
| lool | Bah usually we don't touch the bootloader | 21:18 |
| infinity | NCommander: Yeah, bootloaders are really, really subarch specific on ARM. | 21:18 |
| infinity | Moreso than most architectures. | 21:18 |
| * NCommander bricked his ARM box trying to change it | 21:18 | |
| lool | i'm not even sure subarch is specific enough :-) | 21:19 |
| NCommander | My JTAG was so slow it took almost a day just to rewrite a good redboot | 21:19 |
| infinity | I imagine d-i will grow a mess of subarch bootloader support in time, but for now, it'll probably be up to the user (or distributor, in most cases) to do that bit. | 21:19 |
| lool | I think the redboot on the thecus has special patches for some hardware, and these aren't upstream | 21:19 |
| infinity | lool: When I say "subarch" in the ARM sense, I mean SoC, or even SKU. | 21:19 |
| NCommander | infinity, on my ARM box, it pretty much works that the kernel and a d-i initrd are loaded by the existing redboot; they don't touch that at all | 21:20 |
| NCommander | (the kernel is flashed, but that's mor eout of necessity since rb doesn't know IDE) | 21:20 |
| NCommander | infinity, anyway, I didn't run into any major issues building packages, I think I did have a little trouble with build-deps not existing on Debian or needing upgrade, but beyond that, it was pretty smooth | 21:21 |
| cjwatson | d-i already has a mess of subarch bootloader support ;-) | 21:21 |
| cjwatson | maybe not enough of a mess | 21:21 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Yeah. The mess will grow. | 21:22 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Debian's armel support isn't targetting the same systems we will be, for starters. | 21:22 |
| NCommander | I'm not sure having d-i manage the bootloader is a good idea | 21:22 |
| infinity | cjwatson: (They target systems they can obtain and test on, which kinda makes sense, we'll be targetting new and shiny v7 SoCs and such) | 21:22 |
| NCommander | It just seems like a disaster ready to happen | 21:22 |
| infinity | NCommander: This is all really about convenience for vendors and distributors who, in the end, are "managing the bootloader". | 21:23 |
| infinity | But giving them interfaces to do so without dd isn't always terrible. | 21:23 |
| NCommander | infinity, I know on armel, d-i doesn't do anything for the bootloader | 21:24 |
| cjwatson | infinity: meh, Debian d-i's embedded arch support is not entirely immune from people's pet systems that don't exist anywhere else | 21:24 |
| cjwatson | I believe there was some work there that was done on a commercial basis by other folks | 21:24 |
| infinity | cjwatson: It's not nice to take jabs at PegasOS in public. | 21:25 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: I definitely don't think it should install the bootloader in most cases, but sometimes it does need to know how to configure it | 21:25 |
| cjwatson | infinity: not what I meant :-) | 21:25 |
| infinity | cjwatson: I know. :) | 21:25 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, with redboot, it might be tricky, just because the boot script is embedded right in the binary ... | 21:25 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: in most cases, configuration is about 90% of the job of a bootloader installer udeb | 21:25 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: right, it won't always be sane | 21:25 |
| infinity | Are any of them sane? | 21:26 |
| infinity | Anyhow, bootloader support is a "way off" thing. | 21:26 |
| NCommander | Well, the other issue is breaking up the ubuntu system | 21:26 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: sometimes the "configuration" might consist of symlinking binaries to the right place in /target | 21:26 |
| cjwatson | or whatever | 21:26 |
| infinity | For now, we'll be happy to build stuff and have the end-distributor worry about how to get it on the hardware. | 21:26 |
| infinity | (Or the end-user, in the case of porters and enthusiasts) | 21:26 |
| NCommander | Because we'll probably have a small flash which then loads the rest of the system (my NSLU2 uses a linuxrc script to chroot onto the right HDD) | 21:26 |
| cjwatson | can't that just be the Ubuntu initramfs? | 21:26 |
| infinity | cjwatson: In most cases, should do. | 21:27 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, well, I'm more worried about a case where the system hosed to the point where single user doesn't work | 21:27 |
| infinity | These "small flashes" aren't really all that "small" anymore. | 21:27 |
| NCommander | Again, on my arm box, I can drop into a real rescue mode which is a busybox based chroot | 21:27 |
| NCommander | so if I really destory the debian installation, I can debootstrap again from that busybox chroot | 21:27 |
| NCommander | and since booting from an alternate boot device for ARM might be difficult, it might be worth having | 21:28 |
| NCommander | Personally, IMHO, a flash map for an ARM based ubuntu distro would look like this | 21:29 |
| NCommander | Bootloader | Kernel | Initrd | Rescue parition (read-only) | Main boot parition (if booting from the same flash device; if the device has an HDD, then it should have a chroot in the linuxrc or a proper root= if the boot strings can safely be changed) | 21:30 |
| cjwatson | bear in mind that the initramfs *is* a busybox-based chroot | 21:32 |
| cjwatson | so the right answer here might be simply to enhance the initramfs to be able to function as a better rescue system for the ARM case | 21:32 |
| cjwatson | I think that would be a lot easier to arrange than somehow splitting up the root filesystem into rescue and everything-else | 21:32 |
| kirkland | wiki is giving me 500 errors, now | 21:34 |
| broonie | ~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~/win 19 | 21:36 |
| infinity | NCommander: The other thing to keep in mind here is target audience, where most of these systems, if they explode, will just be reflashed. | 21:36 |
| infinity | NCommander: Having fancier rescue scenarios for developer systems might be nice, but that's something people who care deeply about can worry about, while it's not really the target of a flash-based port. | 21:37 |
| NCommander | Well, what's the target audience more specifically? | 21:37 |
| infinity | NCommander: For the initial port, the target is simply "getting it all built", to be honest. | 21:38 |
| infinity | NCommander: In future releases, there will be vendors shipping systems based on our builds, but they'll be worrying about how to get the software on their systems, generally. | 21:39 |
| NCommander | infinity, ah. I was just trying to help ;-) | 21:40 |
