| ArneGoetje | bryce: thanks | 02:57 |
| ArneGoetje | argh!!! seems the latest kernel modules update on intrepid hosed my system!!! no network, no X... :((( | 03:03 |

| dholbach | good morning | 05:41 |
| dholbach | who of you would like to give a session at Ubuntu Developer Week? https://wiki.ubuntun.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Prep still has some free slots | 05:45 |
| StevenK | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Prep perhaps | 05:47 |
| dholbach | yes :) | 05:47 |
| siretart | LaserJock: no, was already in bed | 06:04 |
| siretart | morning, folks! | 06:05 |
| LaserJock | siretart: I just had an emacs question | 06:05 |
| LaserJock | siretart: emacs22 doesn't seem to like fonts | 06:06 |
| siretart | LaserJock: well, it is an text editor, not a word processor after all ;) | 06:07 |
| LaserJock | it helps my eyes if the fonts look decent though | 06:07 |
| LaserJock | I'm supposed to use this for *everything* right? ;-) | 06:07 |
| ajmitch | M-x make-me-coffee | 06:08 |
| LaserJock | I tried and tried to get emacs22-gtk to load DeJavu or Bitstream fonts | 06:09 |
| LaserJock | ended up just running emacs -nw in a terminator window | 06:09 |
| siretart | LaserJock: Hm. I've been happy with the default fonts choosen by emacs-gtk | 06:09 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: I'm sure there's lisp code somewhere for that | 06:09 |
| ajmitch | undoubtably | 06:09 |
| RAOF | Don't you need emacs-snapshot in order for emacs to have non-eyebleeding font rendering? | 06:09 |
| LaserJock | RAOF: I *thought* as long as it was >= 22 it should work | 06:10 |
| siretart | LaserJock: did you already read chapter 27.16? | 06:10 |
| RAOF | I'm fairly sure you'll find emacs-snapshot to work; it does for me, and 22 doesn't. | 06:10 |
| ScottK | slangasek: If you're up for it, bug #261366 is all uploaded now. Just needs accepting. | 06:11 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 261366 in hardy-backports "Please update to KDE 3.5.10 in hardy-backports" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/261366 | 06:11 |
| ScottK | Good night all. | 06:15 |
| siretart | good night, ScottK! | 06:17 |
| LaserJock | RAOF: ok, so maybe our normal emacs packages aren't built with xft support? | 06:21 |
| RAOF | That would appear to be the case. | 06:24 |
| LaserJock | interesting | 06:25 |
| LaserJock | I thought xft was considered stable in emacs 22 | 06:25 |
| LaserJock | in any case, the best solution for me seems to be emacs -nw :-) | 06:26 |
| RAOF | emacs-snapshot works. Or there's always emacs -nw, which is what I was using for a goodly while. | 06:27 |
| dholbach | at last Ubuntu Developer Week we had a session about "Working With Debian" - is anybody interested in doing a session like that? I think it'd be great to have it | 07:37 |
| siretart | is there already a bug for hotkeys broken on thinkpads in intrepid? | 07:38 |
| tjaalton | siretart: do they produce events (xev)? | 07:38 |
| siretart | dholbach: what did that talk cover? - and when would the lessen happen? | 07:38 |
| siretart | tjaalton: no, not on my X60s | 07:38 |
| siretart | tjaalton: upgraded to intrepid yesterday | 07:38 |
| dholbach | siretart: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/devweek0802/Debian is the session log | 07:38 |
| dholbach | siretart: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Prep is the current schedule | 07:39 |
| tjaalton | siretart: try the .27 kernel. they seem to work fine on my X61 with it | 07:39 |
| dholbach | so there are still some open slots | 07:39 |
| siretart | tjaalton: is there a package for the .27 kernel yet? - or how can I try that out? | 07:40 |
| tjaalton | siretart: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/pub/next/2.6.27-rc3/intrepid/ | 07:41 |
| tjaalton | the rc4 version is uploaded to the archive and built, just not published | 07:41 |
| tjaalton | even suspend works with this (and not .26) :) | 07:41 |
| siretart | suspend to ram works for me on .26, I didn't try out hibernate, though | 07:42 |
| tjaalton | mine just resumes right away with .26 | 07:42 |
| siretart | tjaalton: oh, that directory misses lrm. I expect that would break my wireless (iwl3945), right? | 07:43 |
| RAOF | siretart: I don't believe so, no? | 07:43 |
| siretart | okay, then lets try | 07:44 |
| tjaalton | siretart: nope, works fine | 07:44 |
| RAOF | at least, I'm using that rc3 kernel and my iwl works | 07:44 |
| navandres1972 | hi everyone | 07:48 |
| navandres1972 | short question | 07:48 |
| navandres1972 | there is some a way to develop iphone code on ubuntu?? | 07:49 |
| dholbach | siretart: would you be interested in such a session? | 07:49 |
| siretart | dholbach: why not, but I'm not sure if I find enough time to prepare myself. I'd be more happy to do that session in a team. please give me a few hours to check | 07:50 |
| dholbach | who would be interested to give a session about "working with debian" together with siretart? | 07:51 |
| siretart | tjaalton: booting .27 now. it enables bluetooth at bootup now? huh? | 07:53 |
| siretart | tjaalton: yes, with .27 many hotkeys (not all) now do emit events in xev. thanks! | 07:55 |
| tjaalton | siretart: cool | 07:57 |
| siretart | tjaalton: bug 256887 however is present with .27 as well | 07:59 |

| fabbione | Riddell: ping? | 08:07 |
| baali | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=634034 is there any solution to this post, | 08:12 |
| baali | i am stuck with same thing | 08:12 |
| * fabbione really needs an archive admin to new a package | 09:42 | |
| dholbach | fabbione: I can't help you with that - sorry, but do you think you could take a look at bug 259579? | 09:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 259579 in redhat-cluster "cman init script points at an incorrect doc path" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/259579 | 09:43 |
| fabbione | dholbach: looking | 09:43 |
| dholbach | yoohooo! | 09:43 |
| fabbione | dholbach: oh absolutely.. i need to rework the init script anyway | 09:44 |
| fabbione | that section is not even used in ubuntu packages.. it comes from debian | 09:44 |
| dholbach | fabbione: nice... it turned up on my sponsoring queue radar and I thought that you might be the best person to talk to about it | 09:44 |
| fabbione | dholbach: i'll take care of it | 09:44 |
| * dholbach hugs super-fabbione | 09:44 | |
| fabbione | but i need people to new corosync so that new openais can build so that i can upload a new redhat-cluster :) | 09:44 |
| fabbione | otherwise i can upload but it will stall there :) | 09:45 |
| dholbach | yeah, that makes sense :-/ | 09:45 |
| sdh | hm | 09:47 |
| sdh | if there's a bug in package foo on hardy, but it's fixed in the new version (which is in debian testing), do i need to file a bug on launchpad? | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | if you want it fixed in intrepid+1, no; if you want it fixed in intrepid, yes; if you want it fixed in hardy, yes, with extra justification as to why it's worth changing hardy | 09:48 |
| sdh | cool, ok thanks | 09:48 |
| sdh | i'll go for intrepid :) | 09:48 |
| cjwatson | in any of the "yes" cases, it will help to use the "also affects distribution" link to add a reference to the Debian bug URL | 09:49 |
| soren | cjwatson: Did you say my debian-cd changes got merged? | 09:49 |
| sdh | cjwatson: there is no bug url for debian, they just redesigned stuff and fixed it by chance :)( | 09:49 |
| cjwatson | soren: yes | 09:49 |
| cjwatson | sdh: oh, ok | 09:49 |
| soren | cjwatson: Hm... Ok. | 09:52 |
| dholbach | kees: did jdstrand talk to you about a security session at Ubuntu Developer Week? Does anybody of the MOTU SWAT know when you guys planned to hold such a session? | 09:54 |
| Riddell | fabbione: pong | 10:08 |
| fabbione | Riddell: hi, sorry i need some of your help to new a package because i think seb128 forgot about it (even if he said he was going to do it) | 10:11 |
| fabbione | Riddell: do you have time now? | 10:11 |
| Riddell | fabbione: can do | 10:11 |
| fabbione | Riddell: ok awesome. main had src: openais that has been spitted upstream into 2 sources. source one: corosync (need both src and binary new) and openais (new version) | 10:12 |
| fabbione | Riddell: i didn't file a MIR for corosync (on seb128 input since it's just a split), but it needs to go in main | 10:12 |
| fabbione | Riddell: corosync is now a Build-Dep for openais and redhat-cluster | 10:12 |
| Riddell | looking | 10:14 |
| fabbione | thanks | 10:14 |
| fabbione | Riddell: thanks.. got the emails | 10:18 |
| soren | cjwatson: Do you have a minute to spare? It's about those debian-cd changes. | 10:18 |
| Riddell | fabbione: accepted corosync | 10:18 |
| fabbione | Riddell: awesome thanks again | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | soren: go ahead | 10:19 |
| soren | cjwatson: When I added the "minimal server" install option, I put it into gfxboot.cfg, because the code I copied did that, but it seems that it actually belogs in text.cfg (and has to look differently), but I'm not sure at all where to put the code then. | 10:20 |
| cjwatson | soren: why does it belong in text.cfg? the other similar options aren't there | 10:23 |
| soren | cjwatson: PErhaps we have a different understanding of "similar" :) | 10:24 |
| soren | Well, ok, let's start from the top.. Where does it belong? | 10:24 |
| dholbach | evand: What do you think about a session about the Installer (and the Team behind it) at Ubuntu Developer Week? | 10:24 |
| soren | ...and then let's deal with how we're going to put it there afterwards. | 10:24 |
| cjwatson | soren: I don't see what's wrong with gfxboot.cfg. text.cfg is only used for fallbacks when gfxboot doesn't work | 10:25 |
| cjwatson | (that's a simplification, but close enough) | 10:25 |
| soren | cjwatson: Okay. Well, it doesn't seem to work. | 10:25 |
| cjwatson | that's a better place to start than randomly moving it around :) | 10:25 |
| soren | cjwatson: The option isn't shown. | 10:25 |
| soren | Heh, true. | 10:25 |
| soren | I just went looking for where the options that actually /did/ show up were defined, and they're all in text.cfg. | 10:26 |
| soren | So now I'm not sure at all :/ | 10:26 |
| cjwatson | does the thing you're seeing look like gfxboot? for example, does it have the menu bar across the bottom? | 10:29 |
| soren | cjwatson: Yes. | 10:32 |
| soren | cjwatson: Are you implying that if you start up a recent server ISO, you actually see the "install minimal system" option? | 10:33 |
| cjwatson | rsyncing the image now to have a look | 10:33 |
| cjwatson | I'm implying nothing right now | 10:33 |
| soren | cjwatson: I rsynced only half an hour ago... I'll do it again. | 10:33 |
| cjwatson | I don't see why that would help | 10:34 |
| cjwatson | today's build won't have finished yet | 10:34 |
| cjwatson | hmm, or maybe it has actually, sorry | 10:35 |
| soren | Oh, you said "rsync/ing/ the image now to have a look"... I thought you told me to rsync it to have a look. | 10:36 |
| soren | :) | 10:36 |
| cjwatson | oh, right, sorry :) | 10:36 |
| soren | Not your fault I can't read :) | 10:36 |
| fabbione | Riddell: corosync is built everywhere. not sure you need to NEW binaries as well | 10:38 |
| cjwatson | soren: oh, it's showing up in the F4 menu | 11:00 |
| cjwatson | I guess that isn't ideal if you aren't finding it | 11:00 |
| cjwatson | although conceptually it's the proper place | 11:00 |
| soren | Oh! | 11:01 |
| soren | Hm.. | 11:01 |
| soren | It's not quite what I expected, no. | 11:01 |
| soren | cjwatson: Hm... Let me think about that for a bit. | 11:02 |

| dholbach | my security friends :) | 17:19 |
| fabbione | Riddell: still around? | 17:21 |
| * kees hugs dholbach | 17:23 | |
| fabbione | hey kees | 17:23 |
| kees | dholbach: I haven't had a chance to ask any of them yet. I will bring it up with them. | 17:23 |
| * dholbach hugs kees back :) | 17:23 | |
| kees | fabbione: hola! | 17:23 |
| fabbione | i guess Riddell has gone for the day | 17:25 |
| fabbione | hmmm just need somebody to new 4 libraries... | 17:26 |
| fabbione | so i can get offline too | 17:26 |
| kees | dholbach: jdstrand and I are on national holiday on the 1st, so how about 19.00 UTC on the 5th? | 17:27 |
| dholbach | kees: sounds perfect to me! | 17:28 |
| dholbach | kees: shall I put it on the wiki? | 17:28 |
| kees | dholbach: "Introduction to the Ubuntu Security Team" should be good. | 17:28 |
| dholbach | rock on! | 17:28 |
| kees | dholbach: yeah, if you've got it open for edits | 17:28 |
| Riddell | fabbione: hi | 17:29 |
| dholbach | kees: added | 17:29 |
| Riddell | fdoving: onto it | 17:29 |
| fabbione | Riddell: hey... can i bother you one last time for today? | 17:29 |
| Riddell | fabbione: onto it | 17:29 |
| fabbione | Riddell: redhat-cluster -> NEW | 17:30 |
| fabbione | Riddell: it's a bunch of soname changes. | 17:30 |
| fabbione | Riddell: nothing fancy. | 17:30 |
| dholbach | thanks a lot kees, thanks a lot jdstrand! | 17:30 |
| fabbione | Riddell: they should hit the same pockets as now.. lvm2 depends on libcman2 and libdlm2 that will be removed. the new lvm2 is Depwait already in LP | 17:30 |
| Riddell | fabbione: accepted | 17:30 |
| fabbione | Riddell: so everything should clear automagically | 17:30 |
| fabbione | Riddell: awesome.. thanks! | 17:30 |
| fabbione | ok i am off again :) | 17:31 |
| kees | dholbach: any time. :) | 17:32 |
| slangasek | fabbione: pong? | 17:42 |
| slangasek | dholbach: I guess I could; can you tell me what makes an archive admin happy? :-) | 17:43 |
| dholbach | slangasek: making sure stuff builds, having checked licensing thoroughly, adhering to freeze dates, etc :) | 17:44 |
| slangasek | ScottK: is the kde from last night processed, then? I don't see it in the queue | 17:44 |
| dholbach | slangasek: I thought there was a lot of stuff that made archive admins unhappy :) | 17:44 |
| Riddell | slangasek: yes | 17:44 |
| dholbach | BenC: you ROCK! | 17:44 |
| slangasek | dholbach: ok, so "how to avoid making the archive admins unhappy", that's easier perhaps :) | 17:45 |
| dholbach | :-))) | 17:45 |
| dholbach | there's only one slot left right now: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek - would that work out for you? | 17:45 |
| slangasek | dholbach: ah, Monday is a US holiday | 17:46 |
| tseliot | dholbach: did you have the time to upload this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/envyng-core/+bug/260862 | 17:46 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 260862 in envyng-core "Update EnvyNG in Intrepid" [Undecided,New] | 17:46 |
| slangasek | dholbach: and I already have (wholly unexciting) plans for that day | 17:46 |
| dholbach | slangasek: argl :-( | 17:46 |
| dholbach | tseliot: no, I'm sorry - I subscribed bryce to the bug instead | 17:46 |
| tseliot | dholbach: ok, no problem ;) | 17:47 |
| dholbach | slangasek: would the same slot on thursday work for you? pedro_: do you think you could swap with the Monday 20 UTC one? | 17:48 |
| slangasek | thursday is doable for me | 17:48 |
| pedro_ | dholbach: yup no problem | 17:49 |
| mdz | cjwatson: were there any issues with the server seed bits which are now landed? | 17:49 |
| slangasek | dholbach: is there a template of some sort that describes what kind of content I should be trying to put together? | 17:49 |
| dholbach | slangasek, pedro_: thanks so much - going to update the wiki | 17:49 |
| dholbach | slangasek: we have logs of the previous sessions if that helps: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Previous | 17:49 |
| cjwatson | mdz: soren reported that the menu item for minimal-system is hard to find (it's on F4 at the moment; we may move it); otherwise I haven't heard of any issues yet | 17:50 |
| dholbach | slangasek: a big part of the sessions will be Q&A | 17:50 |
| mdz | cjwatson: is it present in the current daily builds? | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | mdz: yes | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | I haven't tested it end-to-end since it landed, trying to get oem sorted out first ... | 17:51 |
| slangasek | dholbach: ok. I think I can piece something together then, thanks | 17:51 |
| dholbach | slangasek: you ROCK! | 17:52 |
| * cjwatson lights up the Keybuksignal hopefully | 17:52 | |
| mdz | cjwatson: thanks | 17:55 |
| nealmcb | mdz: re posting to ubuntu-devel you say "there's a ticket open with the Canonical IS team about it (#26726)" That doesn't seem to be a relevant launchpad or rt ticket - typo? And does it work to post from an ubuntu.com address as suggested by https://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=655 | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | it's in the Canonical RT rather than the Ubuntu one | 18:02 |
| mdz | nealmcb: that's a different RT instance (where I don't seem to even have an account) | 18:03 |
| cjwatson | (I only just found out they were separate) | 18:03 |
| cjwatson | the Ubuntu one is new, I believe | 18:03 |
| nealmcb | oh dear.... | 18:03 |
| fabbione | slangasek: all sorted.. thanks | 18:04 |
| elmo | mdz: 'ubuntu' / 'ubuntu' | 18:04 |
| mdz | cjwatson: there's still a Community queue on the old one... | 18:04 |
| nealmcb | I'm not subscribed with my ubuntu.com address, but allowing posts from @ubuntu.com would seem like a good idea | 18:04 |
| mdz | elmo: will this obsolete the old Community queue? | 18:04 |
| elmo | yes, it already has | 18:04 |
| cjwatson | mdz: saying "{Obsolete}" on it ... | 18:04 |
| nealmcb | where is the old one? what is the community queue? | 18:05 |
| elmo | mdz: in 26726, did you try adding him to 'accept_these_nonmembers'? | 18:05 |
| elmo | mdz: i.e. https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/admin/ubuntu-devel/?VARHELP=privacy/sender/accept_these_nonmembers | 18:05 |
| elmo | nealmcb: the "old one", is the Canonical private RT | 18:05 |
| cjwatson | yes, that's the key I use I think | 18:05 |
| nxvl | did libcupsys2-dev has been superseded? | 18:06 |
| mdz | elmo: by the way, when I click on the queues on the home page, I get an empty list of tickets (used to display all non-closed tickets). an explicit search works, though | 18:06 |
| nealmcb | elmo: I though you were saying ubuntu/ubuntu worked on the old one - maybe I misparsed mdz's "that" | 18:06 |
| mdz | elmo: most of the moderators are not list admins, so they can't change that | 18:07 |
| mdz | nealmcb: that (rt.ubuntu.com) is a different RT instance from the one I was referring to in my email | 18:07 |
| mdz | cjwatson: could you add the person referenced in the thread to that filter to address the immediate issue? | 18:08 |
| cjwatson | mdz: your last comment references one of your own posts | 18:09 |
| elmo | mdz: so you want moderators to be able to add people? does it need to be within the mailman system? | 18:09 |
| geser | nxvl: yes, it was replaced with libcups2-dev and libcupsys2-dev is now a transitional package | 18:09 |
| nealmcb | cjwatson: while you're at it, whitelisting me (neal@bcn.boulder.co.us == https://edge.launchpad.net/~nealmcb) would be delightful :) | 18:10 |
| nxvl | geser: thank you | 18:10 |
| mdz | cjwatson: yes, because he CCed me and his message wasn't in the archive yet | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | mdz: done for the one before that | 18:10 |
| mdz | elmo: it would be ideal if it were via the mailman system, but I think it would be workable to have something else | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | mdz: in the UI, it's Privacy options... -> Sender filters -> accept_these_nonmembers | 18:10 |
| elmo | mdz: well, I just don't fancy hacking on mailman is all - unless I'm missing some easy alternative? | 18:11 |
| mdz | cjwatson: I'm not at all convinced that I have the right admin password | 18:11 |
| mdz | elmo: moderators need to be able to whitelist people. what are the risks of making them admins? | 18:12 |
| mdz | that sounds like the easiest route | 18:12 |
| mdz | cjwatson: thanks | 18:12 |
| elmo | mdz: assuming you trust the moderators to not be malicious or grossly incompetent, not much? | 18:13 |
| mdz | elmo: one thing we discussed before was having a LP team whose members were whitelisted, that's another option | 18:13 |
| === devfil_ is now known as devfil | ||
| elmo | mdz: sure, that's easy on my side too - I thought the concern there was asking upstreams/other distro folks to create LP accounts | 18:13 |
| mdz | elmo: hmm, you're right, that's not ideal | 18:14 |
| moquist | james_w: thx for your REVU comments; I'm catching up after a trip so I'm not sure how soon I'll get back to all that. | 18:26 |
| james_w | moquist: no problem, sorry to leave it so late | 18:27 |
| james_w | I didn't realise you were here, I only looked on -motu | 18:27 |
| moquist | np | 18:28 |
| RainCT | mdz: Hey. We've created Launchpad team ~ubuntu-dev-without-bugmail so that it can be added to other teams instead of ubuntu-dev, so that it eats the bugmail (by having a contact address set). Can you please accept the invitation of ubuntu-dev to join it? | 18:30 |
| RainCT | mdz: this is necessary, for example, so that MOTUs can commit to the mythbuntu branches (where some packages are maintained) | 18:31 |
| mdz | RainCT: done | 18:31 |
| RainCT | mdz: thanks! | 18:32 |
| mdz | elmo: if your recommended solution is to use the admin interface and accept_these_nonmembers, please put that into the ticket and close it out | 18:35 |
| slangasek | sbeattie: on bug #91873, you don't think there's any chance that this patch could cause us to ignore a /legitimate/ EIO? | 18:36 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 91873 in eject "eject -T doesn't close the tray" [Low,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/91873 | 18:36 |
| sbeattie | slangasek: it's possible but I think eject already is ignoring legitimate EIO errors, as on multiple systems here, ioctl(3, CDROMEJECT, 0) returns -EIO every time on successful eject events. | 18:39 |
| slangasek | sbeattie: isn't CDROMEJECT the exact case that this patch addresses? | 18:40 |
| sbeattie | yes. | 18:40 |
| slangasek | then it would seem that eject wasn't ignoring those before | 18:41 |
| sbeattie | eject -T wasn't. eject with no arguments does. | 18:41 |
| slangasek | ah, ok, I see that in the other strace snippet | 18:42 |
| sbeattie | personally, I think both eject and the kernel are buggy here, but that eject's buggy behavior may be due to working around the kernel always returning EIO. | 18:44 |
| * slangasek nods | 18:45 | |
| slangasek | kees: hmm, I thought samba also did PIE natively? | 18:49 |
| slangasek | ah, only if built with --enable-pie | 18:50 |
| slangasek | er, no | 18:50 |
| slangasek | it's not built with PIE because we're setting --disable-pie | 18:51 |
| kees | hahah | 18:51 |
| kees | oops | 18:51 |
| kees | I missed that. | 18:51 |
| slangasek | well, it was breaking things on the ports when upstream first turned it on | 18:51 |
| slangasek | so it got disabled, and never revisited | 18:51 |
| kees | slangasek: right, I suspect they're not correctly testing for it. | 18:51 |
| kees | slangasek: hardening-wrapper DTRT wrt to archs | 18:52 |
| kees | nice, and they've already enabled relro. | 18:53 |
| kees | slangasek: what do you think, should I revert the wrapper dep and go with the "native" PIE option? it looks like they pass it down into the build correctly. | 18:56 |
| slangasek | kees: that would seem to simply things, yes? | 18:56 |
| kees | yup, let me do a rebuild, one sec | 18:59 |
| cjwatson | mdz: server seed isn't working right, unfortunately - I'll sort it out | 19:02 |
| mdz | dendrobates: ^^ | 19:04 |

| nxvl | how is the Freezes thing? i can upload new features until tomorrow or until Thursday? | 19:27 |
| * Laney eyes mysql | 19:31 | |
| slangasek | nxvl: through end of day on Thursday | 19:36 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule -> Freezes normally happen at the start of the given date, UTC time. So last minute changes need to happen the day before. | 19:40 |
| mathiaz | slangasek: ^^ - has this changed ? | 19:40 |
| slangasek | mathiaz: oh; well, that's not what I did with FeatureFreeze last time, but we can go with what's printed there instead | 19:41 |
| slangasek | nxvl: in that case, through end of day on Wednesday ;) | 19:41 |
| superm1 | slangasek, would you be able to include the nvidia drivers as installable on the DVD image? | 19:43 |
| jdstrand | slangasek: eek, I much preferred your first reaction. Perhaps is would be better to update the wiki? | 20:02 |
| jdstrand | (it certainly would be for me) | 20:03 |
| slangasek | superm1: "include the nvidia drivers as installable" - as opposed to what, exactly? aren't they already there, via restricted? | 20:03 |
| superm1 | slangasek, i dont believe they're on the DVD images as of yet for intrepid | 20:04 |
| jdstrand | slangasek: I'm half kidding, but the time would be most welcome | 20:04 |
| superm1 | slangasek, but yes as installable without needing intarweb access | 20:04 |
| slangasek | jdstrand: giving people more time before the freeze always makes it "better" in that it lets everyone get more done, but then it takes time away from the freeze, so a line always has to be drawn somewhere... | 20:04 |
| superm1 | slangasek, i don't believe they're explicitly listed in the seeds atm | 20:05 |
| jdstrand | slangasek: sure-- my point is I liked where you drew your line before :) | 20:05 |
| slangasek | jdstrand: what are you working on that you're worried is going to miss the freeze? | 20:05 |
| nxvl | slangasek: heh, no, please make it happend at the end of Thursday :P | 20:05 |
| slangasek | superm1: ok; which package should be seeded for this? | 20:05 |
| jdstrand | slangasek: an audit for landscape | 20:05 |
| superm1 | slangasek, nvidia-glx-177, nvidia-glx-173, nvidia-glx-96, nvidia-glx-71 | 20:06 |
| superm1 | slangasek, that should get the 4 different variants | 20:06 |
| jdstrand | slangasek: kees and I are racing against the clock, and TBH, I thought it was end of day thursday myself | 20:06 |
| slangasek | jdstrand: ah. landscape itself isn't uploaded until the audit is done? | 20:06 |
| jdstrand | slangasek: technically, no | 20:07 |
| nxvl | slangasek: or you can still say it's taking place at the end of Wen so people prepare for it, but make it happen the end of thu | 20:07 |
| nxvl | slangasek: and we won't say anything | 20:07 |
| nxvl | :P | 20:07 |
| slangasek | jdstrand: well, "freeze exception granted" then :P | 20:07 |
| jdstrand | slangasek: works for me :) | 20:07 |
| slangasek | nxvl: well, the "freeze at beginning of the day" is noted on the release schedule wiki page, and the freeze isn't an archive-level freeze so the timeline is always fuzzy; I don't see the justification for pushing back the freeze as a whole | 20:08 |
| nxvl | slangasek: yeah, i'm just kidding | 20:09 |
| nxvl | slangasek: you can't blame me for trying | 20:09 |
| nxvl | :D | 20:09 |
| slangasek | james_w: ping-a-ling | 20:13 |
| james_w | hey slangasek | 20:13 |
| slangasek | james_w: hi, looking over bug #261445, which dholbach pointed me at | 20:13 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 261445 in devscripts "debcommit should use --fixes argument to bzr commit when appropriate" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/261445 | 20:13 |
| james_w | slangasek: great, thanks | 20:14 |
| slangasek | james_w: I'm trying to think through what may or may not be a relevant corner case | 20:14 |
| slangasek | I've never used --fixes before, but I love it immediately; what I'm wondering is whether this patch to debcommit could do the wrong thing if the changelog entry is added in a separate commit after the actual change | 20:15 |
| slangasek | but then I guess one probably wouldn't use debcommit in that case... | 20:15 |
| james_w | slangasek: you mean that you commit the fix, and then commit the changelog entry with debcommit, which leads to --fixes putting the property on the wrong commit? | 20:16 |
| slangasek | james_w: basically, yeah | 20:16 |
| james_w | yeah, that would be not great | 20:17 |
| slangasek | but as I thought about it, I realized I probably wouldn't use debcommit there | 20:17 |
| slangasek | but wanted to get your opinion anyway :) | 20:17 |
| james_w | --fixes isn't precise, as bug fixes can span multiple commits etc. | 20:17 |
| slangasek | sure | 20:18 |
| slangasek | so I'm nitpicking for no reason :-) | 20:18 |
| james_w | you could say that the bug is fixed by the point where it is added, so it's ok, but you /could/ commit the changelog first, so that falls down | 20:18 |
| james_w | it's not precise, but I think it's better than nothing, and I don't think a heuristic can do any better, and heuristics is all we have with debcommit | 20:18 |
| slangasek | right; I was more wondering whether there was any reason one would want to have an override switch | 20:21 |
| james_w | possibly | 20:22 |
| slangasek | well - I haven't found a convincing case for it myself | 20:22 |
| slangasek | so I'm going to go ahead and sponsor as-is :) | 20:22 |
| james_w | adding a bug number to a changelog entry from long ago, but you shouldn't do that | 20:22 |
| james_w | great, thanks. | 20:22 |
| Riddell | BenC: linux has been split into lots of -modules packages? | 20:24 |
| slangasek | Riddell: are you looking at the d-i packages? | 20:25 |
| slangasek | (udebs) | 20:25 |
| Riddell | slangasek: oh possibly, firewire-core-modules-2.6.27-1-generic-di et al in New | 20:27 |
| BenC | Riddell: udeb's are for the debian-installer...has nothing to do with what's installed on your system | 20:27 |
| Riddell | yeah, the di should have given it away | 20:27 |
| BenC | So should the .udeb extension :) | 20:27 |
| BenC | Wait, it doesn't show that does it | 20:28 |
| slangasek | Riddell: we have a script kernel-overrides on drescher that facilitates mapping overrides from one kernel to the next; or if you prefer, I'm happy to process those, I just had noticed you were actively processing and didn't want to get in your way :) | 20:28 |
| slangasek | BenC: queue doesn't show the extension, no :) | 20:28 |

| nxvl | i need some help here | 20:39 |
| nxvl | on actually deciding what to do | 20:39 |
| nxvl | Bug 260899 | 20:39 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 260899 in courier "some courier executables can't load libraries in /usr/lib/courier-authlib " [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/260899 | 20:39 |
| nxvl | the problem is issue because of courier-authlib libs being rpathed | 20:39 |
| nxvl | issued* | 20:39 |
| nxvl | so, the solution i find is: a) still having it with the rpath to the libs | 20:40 |
| nxvl | b) move courier-authlib libraries to /usr/lib insted of /usr/lib/courier-authlib | 20:40 |
| nxvl | NCommander: what do you think? | 20:41 |
| NCommander | well, courier-authlib ATM is internal to courier | 20:41 |
| NCommander | But its packaged in a way that anyone in theory could link against it | 20:41 |
| nxvl | but different package and source | 20:41 |
| NCommander | argh | 20:42 |
| NCommander | I thought authlib was built through courier | 20:42 |
| nxvl | is not even the same source package | 20:42 |
| nxvl | nop | 20:42 |
| NCommander | whoops | 20:42 |
| nxvl | nop | 20:42 |
| NCommander | In that case, we need to dump the things in /usr/lib | 20:42 |
| nxvl | source package is called courier-authlib | 20:42 |
| NCommander | Thats the proper fix | 20:42 |
| NCommander | as well as properly rename the library to follow the debian policy on libraries | 20:43 |
| NCommander | (should be libcourier-authlib, not courier-authlib) | 20:43 |
| nxvl | that would break SO many thing | 20:43 |
| nxvl | things* | 20:43 |
| NCommander | There are only four or five packages depending on courier-authlib | 20:43 |
| NCommander | Most from courier itself | 20:43 |
| NCommander | (check the rdepends yourself) | 20:44 |
| nxvl | NCommander: i think that's is a change that is better to be done in debian | 20:44 |
| NCommander | Upstream is non-cooperative | 20:44 |
| nxvl | really? | 20:44 |
| NCommander | Yeah | 20:44 |
| nxvl | that's why i spend more time here than in debian | 20:44 |
| nxvl | :D | 20:44 |
| baastrup | hey is is posible to force a broken package to be oki? | 20:44 |
| NCommander | ScottK tried in the past to get fixes upstream | 20:44 |
| NCommander | Including the libtool fixes | 20:44 |
| NCommander | so the fix needs to be made here | 20:45 |
| nxvl | zul: something to add before i make the changes? | 20:46 |
| slangasek | james_w: oh, the patch pulls in Dpkg::Changelog, which wasn't previously used anywhere; do we need a depends/recommends on libparse-debianchangelog-perl? | 20:48 |
| slangasek | or is that not the same module? | 20:48 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: around? | 20:49 |
| slangasek | james_w: ah, no, Dpkg::Changelog is in dpkg-dev, already a dependency, so nevermind | 20:49 |
| cjwatson | nxvl: yes | 20:50 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: can you please read the recent backlog about the courier-authlib issue i have just pointed | 20:51 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: and give me your thoughts on the topic | 20:51 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: it's a small log | 20:51 |
| cjwatson | nxvl: my gut feel is that courier-authlib is essentially private to courier, despite being a separate package (presumably due to being distributed as a separate source package upstream). The courier-authlib-dev package is just so that other bits of courier can be built against it. This theory is supported by the package descriptions for courier-authlib and courier-authlib-dev | 20:54 |
| cjwatson | nxvl: so my recommendation would be to put the rpath back rather than making it a public library | 20:55 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: ok | 20:55 |
| nxvl | cjwatson: thank you for your time | 20:55 |

| cjwatson | hth :) | 20:55 |
| cjwatson | I'll stick that comment in the bug | 20:56 |
| nxvl | thank you! | 20:56 |
| nxvl | i will sponsor Javer's diff | 20:56 |
| cjwatson | the recommendation to avoid rpath is aimed at public libraries; generally speaking it's worse to make private libraries public when they weren't intended to be than to drop in an rpath | 21:01 |
| cjwatson | the consequence of the former approach is that you get a library in /usr/lib whose upstream isn't interested in managing its soname properly or in advertising its API properly, or things like that | 21:02 |
| === thegodfather is now known as fabbione | ||
| cjwatson | we should of course be careful that dependencies are tight enough to avoid two versions of authlib ending up in the same process space if its soname ever changes | 21:03 |
| james_w | is anyone willing to sponsor a merge/update of devmapper and lvm2? | 21:44 |
| james_w | who would be best to ask for that? | 21:44 |
| slangasek | james_w: "ubuntu-main-sponsors"? :) | 21:47 |
| james_w | slangasek: if only :-) | 21:47 |
| slangasek | james_w: devscripts uploaded, after a bit of puzzling over why dpkg-buildpackage -b && dpkg-buildpackage -S caused desktop2menu.pl to disappear from the source package | 21:53 |
| slangasek | james_w: have you forwarded this patch to the Debian bug, or will you? | 21:54 |
| james_w | slangasek: done prior to filing the Ubuntu bug | 21:54 |
| slangasek | james_w: ok, great :) | 21:54 |
| james_w | thanks for sponsoring | 21:55 |
| cjwatson | _MMA_: so remind me what the situation with ubuntustudio tasks was? I seem to remember that there was some particular task you wanted preselected, while still displaying the tasks question | 21:57 |
| cjwatson | (background: it's now actually possible to do that in tasksel, at least once I upload this fix) | 21:58 |
| _MMA_ | Well we have 5 tasks. The -desktop was the one we were trying to get preselected and hidden from users. | 21:58 |
| cjwatson | preselected *and* hidden? hmm | 21:58 |
| _MMA_ | So in the end users would only *see* 4. | 21:58 |
| cjwatson | ok, slightly different kettle of fish then | 21:58 |
| cjwatson | can't really do that with a debconf multiselect | 21:59 |
| _MMA_ | Well, in the end, preselected is a great step in the right direction. | 21:59 |
| cjwatson | do you want the CDs changed to preselect that, then? | 21:59 |
| _MMA_ | The -desktop task, sure. That would be great. (If you're pokin' around in there) | 22:00 |
| james_w | slangasek: "Can't read from ../scripts/desktop2menu.pl: No such file or directory" | 22:17 |
| james_w | slangasek: I assume that was what you saw? | 22:18 |
| james_w | it only happened for me with --twice, so I assumed it would survive the buildds | 22:18 |

| doggymenz | why ubuntu use usplash instead of bootsplash? | 22:22 |
| doggymenz | bootsplash already existed, it had many feature and was stable | 22:22 |
| doggymenz | why ubuntu had todo usplash instead? its not good | 22:22 |
| RainCT | doggymenz: because bootsplash works in the kernel level, and usplash in userspace (or at least that's what Wikipedia says) | 22:33 |
| doggymenz | oh okie | 22:35 |
| doggymenz | im not sure usplash is stable | 22:35 |
| wgrant | How do you define "stable"? | 22:36 |
| doggymenz | i add vga=795 or something, to kernel parameter, then i loose my terminals, and usplash can look strange, like get 2 progressbars | 22:36 |
| doggymenz | and it lacks functionality, you cant press escape to see boot messages | 22:37 |
| RAOF | Because intrepid's uvesafb is currently broken, yes. | 22:37 |
| doggymenz | oh | 22:37 |
| doggymenz | when its fixed? | 22:37 |
| RAOF | When it gets fixed. I don't know. | 22:37 |
| RainCT | doggymenz: I think you can see the messages pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 22:37 |
| doggymenz | oh | 22:38 |
| doggymenz | intrepid will have 2.6.27? | 22:38 |
| wgrant | Does. | 22:39 |
| doggymenz | awesome | 22:39 |
| doggymenz | mine only has 2.6.26 | 22:39 |
| wgrant | Some of the binaries are in NEW> | 22:39 |
| doggymenz | i dont know what is NEW< | 22:39 |
| wgrant | It's the queue where new packages sit. | 22:39 |
| doggymenz | oh | 22:40 |
| slangasek | james_w: er, heh; I didn't try rebuilding again after the first build test | 22:44 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, out of curosity, is there a reason there are no Xubuntu Ports CD images made? | 22:44 |
| slangasek | james_w: let me fix up the references to desktop2menu.pl, then | 22:44 |
| james_w | slangasek: it failed on the buildds | 22:44 |
| slangasek | james_w: yep, it fails here too if I try another rebuild | 22:45 |
| NCommander | RAOF, confirming a binary rebuild fixes miro | 22:45 |
| slangasek | I'll have it fixed up soon enough | 22:45 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/cd-build-logs/ is the place to look | 22:45 |
| james_w | slangasek: it appears as though "remove desktop2menu.pl in Ubuntu" translates to "remove it in the clean rule and hope for the best" | 22:45 |
| slangasek | james_w: in the build rule, oddly | 22:45 |
| james_w | though that may be a bit unfair | 22:45 |
| slangasek | s/build/install/ | 22:45 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, it appears the PowerPC CDs aren't even attempted | 22:46 |
| RAOF | NCommander: Thanks. I suppose I get to prepare a SRU. | 22:46 |
| james_w | slangasek: oh yeah | 22:46 |
| james_w | slangasek: surely it should just delete the installed copy? | 22:46 |
| slangasek | james_w: that would have made more sense, yes :) | 22:46 |
| NCommander | (I looked at at the the debian-cd source, and I couldn't figure out how the distribution/ports of distribution thing works out) | 22:46 |
| Zetto | Someone please take a look at Bug 144745 | 22:48 |

| RAOF | NCommander: That'd be cool. Thanks. | 22:49 |
| qwerty6523 | hello | 22:50 |
| NCommander | RAOF, if I give you a debdiff, will you upload to Hardy proposed? | 22:50 |
| RAOF | NCommander: I need to check the SRU documentation first :) | 22:50 |

| slangasek | james_w: ah, leaving desktop2menu.pl in place causes build failures because of some wildcard rules in scripts/Makefile; I'll just yank the whole thing out | 22:51 |
| NCommander | Well, you upload the proposed fix (in this case, just a changelog entry), file the bug, and then subscribe Main SRU | 22:51 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: they are, but there's a nasty little problem with the way the local mirror on the build machine is laid out | 22:51 |
| RAOF | Yeah, that was my understanding. | 22:51 |
| cjwatson | soren: I hadn't heard of issues like that before. I suppose we could blacklist certain VG names in partman-lvm | 22:52 |
| RAOF | NCommander: Oh, seems like asac's been assigned to that bug. | 22:52 |
| NCommander | I'll add my two cents | 22:53 |
| RAOF | And the debdiff; why not :) | 22:53 |
| asac | RAOF: is this about the gnome-python breakage? | 22:53 |
| RAOF | Since gnome-python-extras is in main I can't upload for you anyway :) | 22:53 |
| RAOF | Yeah. | 22:54 |
| RAOF | Just checking that a rebuild fixes it, and it does. | 22:54 |
| asac | RAOF: how do you reproduce that in hardy? | 22:54 |
| asac | RAOF: is that just PPC? | 22:54 |
| RAOF | asac: By asking NCommander to fire up his PPC box, and try to start miro | 22:54 |
| asac | NCommander: did it actually ever work? | 22:54 |
| NCommander | Yeah | 22:54 |
| NCommander | Took forever to build | 22:54 |
| asac | when? | 22:55 |
| RAOF | Yeah, just PPC as far as I can tell. | 22:55 |
| NCommander | Just now | 22:55 |
| asac | NCommander: no | 22:55 |
| NCommander | Like 20 minutes ago | 22:55 |
| asac | NCommander: i mean: did miro ever work in hardy? | 22:55 |
| NCommander | I never used it before | 22:55 |
| NCommander | What I did was | 22:55 |
| NCommander | Install miro | 22:55 |
| asac | this bug appears to predate hardy release ... thats why i am wondering if this is a regression or just slipped through release QAY | 22:55 |
| NCommander | Confirmed it didn't work | 22:55 |
| asac | NCommander: ok | 22:55 |
| NCommander | I can check dapper if miro existed back then | 22:55 |
| asac | NCommander: can you downgrade to the hardy xulrunner-1.9 version? | 22:55 |
| asac | NCommander: i think its 1.9~b5 something | 22:56 |
| NCommander | Link me to the deb | 22:56 |
| soren | cjwatson: Ok. I still want to get Keybuk's input, though. Maybe there's clever udev magic that work around it somehow. | 22:57 |
| asac | NCommander: sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9=1.9~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support=1.9~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 | 22:57 |
| asac | NCommander: maybe you need to downgrade some other apps in the same move | 22:57 |
| NCommander | Bah | 22:57 |
| asac | or remove them (to test) | 22:57 |
| NCommander | I think I need to remove GNOME to test this | 22:58 |
| NCommander | asac downgrading | 23:00 |

| asac | NCommander: ok. so its not a regression. thanks for testing. I am subscribed to it, so Ill get to it asap | 23:04 |
| NCommander | I posted the changelog entry | 23:04 |
| NCommander | (you can take credit for it if you want) | 23:04 |
| asac | he? | 23:04 |
| asac | ah | 23:04 |
| NCommander | asac, its a no-changes binary rebuild | 23:04 |
| asac | ok | 23:04 |
| NCommander | You shouldn't have any issues getting that approved | 23:05 |
| NCommander | asac, I'm willing to take over dealing with the SRU bit, unless you want it | 23:06 |
| asac | NCommander: can you upload? | 23:07 |
| NCommander | asac, not an MOTU | 23:08 |
| NCommander | sadly | 23:08 |
| NCommander | I can post the source package to my PPA | 23:08 |
| NCommander | Then you just need to grab it and resign (I'll set the changelog to hardy-proposed) | 23:08 |
| asac | ok. ill do that then. you can then take care for organising testing/feedback in bug and getting verification | 23:08 |
| asac | NCommander: if its just a respin, then you dont need to | 23:09 |
| NCommander | Sure, no problem | 23:09 |
| NCommander | SHould I reassign to myself? | 23:09 |
| weed37 | evening | 23:12 |
| sbeattie | NCommander: if you've got a ppc box available and some free time, it'd be great if you could verify the SRU fix for 220890 | 23:14 |

| NCommander | lazyness rocks | 23:15 |
| NCommander | sbeattie, what's the GNOME metapackage? (I did a -server install, since I was using it as a server, but this box has been retired so ...) | 23:16 |
| RainCT | NCommander: ubuntu-desktop? | 23:17 |
| NCommander | I should have known that | 23:17 |
| NCommander | sbeattie, ok, checking. As an aside, what's the issue with this and PPAs slangasek referred to | 23:18 |
| james_w | dear archive admins, will there be a sync run prior to feature freeze? | 23:19 |
| RainCT | james_w: sorry for the wait. I've just advocated wadllib, and will test-build launchpadlib now | 23:20 |
| james_w | RainCT: thanks, don't worry about the wait | 23:20 |
| james_w | as long as it's less than 24 hours :-) | 23:20 |
| sbeattie | NCommander: I think PPAs don't support building for ppc anymore, so test python-apt packages couldn't be built and sitributed for ppc via that channel. | 23:20 |
| sbeattie | s/sitributed/distributed/ | 23:21 |
| NCommander | A pity that was dropped | 23:22 |
| RAOF | PPAs never supported building for PPC, at least that I can remember. The xen infrastructure the PPA builders use only works on x86, IIRC. | 23:22 |
| NCommander | I wish they'd just extend PowerPC/SPARC PPAs. They could use QEMU ;-) | 23:23 |
| elmo | NCommander: no, we couldn't. qemu doesn' tprovide secure sandboxing | 23:23 |
| elmo | it also has serious limitations as a buildd (e.g. a 256Mb memory limit) | 23:24 |
| elmo | raof's right, we've never supported anything other than x8 based architectures because that's all that Xen supports | 23:24 |
| NCommander | elmo, QEMU supports up to 1024, I ran a hurd buildd in it | 23:25 |
| elmo | hmm? ok, maybe that's only on arm then | 23:26 |
| ion_ | Why an arbitrary memory limit? | 23:26 |
| NCommander | elmo, I take it a process barrier isn't strong enough protection? | 23:26 |
| RAOF | Couldn't you run qemu in a xen sandbox? :) | 23:27 |
| NCommander | (it won't be impossible for someone to break into a Xen buildd if a dom0 expilot in the hypervisor was ever found) | 23:27 |
| * NCommander has a powerpc buildd running against his PPA :-)) | 23:27 | |
| elmo | NCommander: PPA builds allow you to intall your own packages, so, no it's not | 23:27 |
| NCommander | If I understand PPAs correctly, the xen based environment works with a snapshot, and after each build, resets it, right? | 23:29 |
| NCommander | (and Xen PowerPC does exist now) | 23:29 |
| elmo | Xen 'exists' for a number of different platforms | 23:29 |
| elmo | it's only usable in production for x86 | 23:30 |
| elmo | NCommander: yes | 23:30 |
| cjwatson | james_w: you mean like an autosync? those stopped at debian import freeze | 23:31 |
| NCommander | I guess I'm slow then on why QEMU won't be acceptable (even if you put it in a Xen image), | 23:31 |
| NCommander | Since QEMU can be snapshotted | 23:31 |
| NCommander | (is that even a word ;-) | 23:31 |
| NCommander | sbeattie, my PPC box is installing GNOME< but it might take awhile. its not that fast | 23:31 |
| james_w | cjwatson: no, running over all of the outstanding sync requests. | 23:31 |
| elmo | NCommander: because as I said, qemu does not provide secure sandboxing | 23:32 |
| cjwatson | oh, right. I should think so but probably won't be the guy in the chair myself ... | 23:32 |
| elmo | NCommander: upstream are on record are saying security is not and never has been one of their concerns | 23:32 |
| NCommander | elmo, I just said put qemu in an Xen domU. I dunno, doesn't that solve that issue? | 23:32 |
| sbeattie | NCommander: no worries, your help is appreciated! | 23:32 |
| elmo | oh, I see what you mean | 23:32 |
| NCommander | yeah | 23:32 |
| james_w | cjwatson: ok, thanks. I'm assuming there will be, but if it was a no then I would have to change my approach. | 23:33 |
| NCommander | Even if qemu gets hacked, the xen image provides an affective barrier | 23:33 |
| NCommander | And then its a modification to the build-worker to make sure the xen image gets reset after each build | 23:33 |
| elmo | NCommander: *shrug* that'd be viable, but slow. qemu on the fastes x86 is still slower than e.g. modern arm hardware | 23:33 |
| NCommander | well, userland emulation pretty fast, my laptop can slaughter my 1Ghz PowerpC | 23:34 |
| cjwatson | james_w: prior practice has been that there is, at any rate | 23:34 |
| james_w | thanks, good to know | 23:35 |
| NCommander | elmo, then again, I'm an m68k Debian porter, so my concept of slow and yours are in two very different worlds | 23:35 |
| Darklock | haha | 23:38 |
| * cjwatson seems to recall that elmo is not entirely without m68k experience | 23:39 | |
| NCommander | Sometimes I dream at night of bootstrapping Ubuntu m68k | 23:40 |
| NCommander | THen I wonder why I have no social life | 23:41 |
| NCommander | hell, I've bootstrapped armel Ubuntu | 23:41 |
| NCommander | (mostly, I finished building about half of the base packages once I canadianed crossed the compiler) | 23:42 |
| jdstrand | NCommander, elmo: I think the situation is improving wrt to qemu and security do to other developers, and I seem to remember the kvm folks at least saying they are interested | 23:42 |
| jdstrand | s/do/due/ | 23:42 |
| NCommander | jdstrand, well, couldn't we just plop Qemu in Xen | 23:42 |
| NCommander | It can't be any less secure then the current PPA setup | 23:42 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: the difference being that elmo wised up several years ago? ;) | 23:42 |
| NCommander | slangasek, without m68k, I'd never gotten a chance to run a dak setup or britney | 23:43 |
| jdstrand | NCommander: I didn't say it *was* secure yet, just improving. besides, I thought xen had a ton of qemu code anyway | 23:43 |
| NCommander | Now if thats a good or bad thing, thats anyones guess ;-) | 23:43 |
| NCommander | slangasek, I dunno, we've proven its possible to run java and KDE on m68k | 23:47 |
| NCommander | Our buildd cluster is close to the speed of a quad-core x86 :-) | 23:47 |
| cjwatson | StevenK: what's antimony:/srv/cdimage.ubuntu.com/moblin.copy/ and can it die? | 23:48 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: a fine demonstration of the difference between bandwidth and latency :-) | 23:48 |
| slangasek | NCommander: I've called for phasing out the Debian alpha port because I think we're beyond the point of diminishing returns wrt to keeping it afloat; I'm probably not the person to try to impress with tales of running KDE on m68k | 23:49 |
| NCommander | slangasek, we only build it because we have it, no one in their right mind uses it | 23:49 |
| cjwatson | I suppose the difference is that an m68k requires fewer electrical substations to keep it running | 23:49 |
| NCommander | (although as a joke, I think someone tried to run it, it took roughly an hour to get to the desktop) | 23:50 |
| NCommander | That, and coldfire will be coming out soon, we're waiting on freescale to help with the toolchain | 23:50 |
| cjwatson | is this like Duke Nukem Forever? | 23:50 |
| NCommander | m68k - proving that glibc 2.5 just can't die yet | 23:51 |
| NCommander | slangasek, w.r.t. to Alpha, I feel if we simply axe the requirement that all packages must be built, it would be quite feasible to keep | 23:52 |
| NCommander | As it stands, now that the FTP masters are offically axing ports | 23:53 |
| NCommander | m68k and hurd just got axed | 23:53 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: my Alpha runs on a single ATX power supply, thanks :) | 23:54 |
| NCommander | I expect mips(el) and hppa might end up going too, they've beening having a lot of buildd issues recently | 23:54 |
| * NCommander wishes he had an alpha | 23:54 | |
| NCommander | slangasek, know where one can get one relatively cheaply? | 23:54 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: but it's still dissipates more heat than any other machine in the house, and I use it for nothing - I want it off | 23:54 |
| slangasek | NCommander: Germany, apparently | 23:54 |
| slangasek | otherwise, eBay | 23:54 |
| NCommander | slangasek, what are you using it for? | 23:54 |
| slangasek | building d-i daily images | 23:55 |
| slangasek | and porting work when needed | 23:55 |
| slangasek | so it's entirely for others' benefit, not for my own | 23:55 |
| NCommander | You could just replace it with a qemu instance ;-) | 23:55 |
| slangasek | I'll sit here and wait while you get qemu working for alpha, shall I | 23:55 |
| NCommander | hrm | 23:56 |
| NCommander | It's still dev-only | 23:56 |
| NCommander | n/m ;-) | 23:56 |
| NCommander | slangasek, you have the only dev machine for alpha thats open for DDs? | 23:58 |
| slangasek | no, my alpha isn't open for DDs. | 23:59 |
| NCommander | slangasek, it sounds like the alpha port though in general having issues, which kinda suprises me, hppa's been dead from HP for longer than alpha, and its still kicking | 23:59 |
