dholbachI'm just checking the rest of the package update10:43
Juli_I'm not expert in the license but  if you have any other questions regarding this update, please, ask. I'm responsible for this package now10:48

dholbachI can imagine :-/10:55
dholbachwe're slowly catching up10:55
Juli_These all is about NetBeans 6.0.1 -> NetBeans 6.1 upgrade... many updates and even new packages10:57
Juli_but thank you a lot for taking a look at javaparser:)10:58

Juli_and 2 new packages on REVU11:03
dholbachOK... so what next needs to happen is the review of the two packages on REVU?11:03
Juli_http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=libnb-platform-java11:03
Juli_http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=libjna-java11:04
Juli_actually libjna-java on REVU already has one advocate11:04
Juli_situation with platform is worse11:05
Juli_if you could take a look at it It would be great!11:05
dholbachhum.... there's libnb-platform8-java and libnb-platform-java11:08
Juli_yes11:08
Juli_libnb-platform8-java  is old package I don't know how to delete it from REVU11:08
dholbachok... will archive it11:08
dholbachgracias :)11:08
Juli_:))) Italian?11:09
dholbachno, I'm from Germany :)11:10
Juli_:) nice country!11:11
dholbachwhere are you from? :)11:11
Juli_oh... Russia11:12
dholbachis libnb-resolver-java important too?11:13
Juli_actually no11:13
dholbachok11:13
Juli_we have to cancel it11:13
Juli_as it is a fork of libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java11:13
dholbachshall I archive it for now?11:13
Juli_yes, please:)11:14
dholbachthanks, done11:14
Juli_thanks!11:14
dholbachI'll check out jna now11:14
Juli_I'm looking forward to see you comments:)11:15
=== dholbach_ is now known as dholbach
dholbachit seems that the clean target misses quite a lot of files that are created during the build11:27
dholbachit's not terribly urgent, but would be nice if it was fixed11:27
Juli_hmmm... there are listed in debian/clean I believe11:28
dholbachhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/3087511:28
dholbacherr11:28
dholbachhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/4087511:28
dholbachif you use pbuilder, you can test it by running    sudo pbuilder build --twice something.dsc11:29
Juli_hmm, I'll see11:30
dholbachright now I'm looking for blockers - if we can fix this one in one of the next uploads, that's fine too11:31
Juli_hm... build folder should be deleted in clean target...11:33
Juli_strange... but I'll fix anyway11:33
dholbachJuli_: apart from that jna looks good to me11:41
dholbachJuli_: if you want to fix it now, I'll ask geser to give the new upload an ACK again11:43
Juli_what is it ACK?11:43
dholbachACK is his "OK" - "advocating" in this case11:44
dholbachshort for "acknowledge"11:44
Juli_aaa.. thanks11:44
dholbachI'll have a look at platform in the meantime11:45
Juli_ok.. I'll try to fix jna now11:45
dholbachgreat11:45
Juli_I've deleted debian/clean and transfered rm -rf into rules/clean. I believe this should fix the problem12:03
dholbachJuli_: I'll check it out12:04
Juli_Thanks! and I have to spend more time learning debhelper 7 and debian/clean ... I've never used it before... so can't understand what the problem it was12:06
dholbachhm... debian/rules doesn't look like debhelper 712:07
dholbachit's using CDBS, isn't it?12:07
Juli_yes12:11
geserdholbach, Juli_: what needs a new ACK from me?12:14
dholbachgeser: libjna-java in REVU12:14
dholbachJuli_ just did an update to fix the twice-building12:14
* dholbach is just double-checking it12:14
Juli_dholbach: as I understand cdbs just automates debhelper use... so advantages(as usage of debian/clean file) of debhelper 7 should be noticeable12:19
dholbachright... I was referring to the new  dh  command introduced with debhelper 712:23
dholbachthe new package still doesn't clean up correctly12:26
Juli_the same build folder is not cleaned?12:26
dholbachJuli_: can you try leaving in dh_clean and adding a  rm -rf $(DEB_SRCDIR)/build  too?12:27
dholbachin the clean target12:27
Juli_yes of course... but build.xml clean should actually do this...I'll check it out later.. now I'll add what you say into clean target12:29
* dholbach is no expert when it comes to ant - sorry12:29
Juli_ant just delete a folder... I don't understand... anyway we have no time for this now:(12:30
dholbachJuli_: that should make it build twice in a row12:31
* dholbach just tested12:31
Juli_done.12:35
Juli_dholbach: thank you for testing! I'll recover my pbuilder base tarball... it is dead from yesterday:( so I can't use pbuilder build12:37
dholbachJuli_: did you upload it to REVU already?12:37
dholbachhmm ... might take a bit to show up on the web page...12:37
Juli_yes..12:38
Juli_several seconds/minutes usually:)12:38
dholbachok... testing :)12:40
dholbachgeser: I advocated the current libjna-java upload, so if you could ACK it again, that'd be nice12:47
* dholbach goes to grab some lunch12:47
dholbachsee you later!12:47
Juli_Bon appetit!12:50
geserdholbach: Advocated (but didn't do the upload yet).12:50
Juli_geser: Thank you again:)12:52
Koongeser: i've a couple of Java library dependencies fixes posted on bug 256096, waiting for a sponsor14:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 256096 in libcommons-dbcp-java "Common Java libraries should depend on a headless runtime" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/25609614:36
Koongeser: would you have some time to sponsor them ?14:36
geserKoon: not before friday14:37
Koongeser: no problem, I have someone else taht should be able to do it -- thanks anyway14:37
persiaKoon: If they aren't Feature-Freeze blocking, it's probably best to wait until Friday, just because there's *heaps* of FF-blocking stuff that needs to get in beforehand.14:44
Koonpersia: ok. It's more an alpha5 target.14:46
persiaKoon: That's what I thought from the description above, and it gives us another week.14:46
persiaOne thing that might be of benefit for Java, if you have time, is to look for anything with a newer upstream in Debian: it ought make security support significantly easier if Intrepid and Lenny ship with the same version of the packages.14:47
persiahttp://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/ has a few lists, although the language-specific ones (python, ruby, Java) are currently broken.14:48
dholbachgeser: did you manage to upload jna?15:19
dholbachgeser: if not, I can do it now15:19
dholbachwhat about libnb-platform?15:19
geserdholbach: please do15:19
dholbachhi robilad15:21
robiladhi dholbach!15:21
dholbachrobilad: a shame there's no Java packaging session at Ubuntu Developer Week15:22
robiladi won't have time unfortunately - right in the middle of finishing stuff off before I head out for two weeks.15:23
dholbachJuli_, geser: jna uploaded15:23
dholbachnow the archive admins will have to review it15:23
Juli_thank you! do archive admins review updates as well? or only new packages?15:24
geserJuli_: only new source and new binary packages15:25
dholbachNEW packages and they need to do prodding if there are new binary packages15:25
dholbachbut new source packages get extra scrutiny15:25
dholbachand the queue might be a bit longer right now15:25
Juli_should they review new staff before FF for package to get into Intrepid? or your upload is enough?15:27
Juli_I just worry about inclusion into Intrepid:)15:28
dholbachupload should be good enough15:32
Juli_ that is great! Thanks15:33
Juli_dholbach: i missed your question about libnb-platform... actually it is a new upstream for libnb-platform7-java which is already exist... but source name is changed15:37
dholbachJuli_: aha!15:38
dholbachthat should make reviewing easier15:38
dholbachare we safe to drop the old one in intrepid once it is built?15:38
dholbacherrr accepted and all that15:38
Juli_actually there may be users who still need platform7... but there are no packages which depends on it excepting netbeans(6.0.1)15:39
dholbachwill the old netbeans work with the new nb-platform?15:40
Juli_no15:40
dholbachOK... I'll review the package in a bit15:40
Juli_but I hope to see new netbeans in Intrepid15:40
Juli_dholbach: thanks!15:41
dholbachJuli_: sent comments for nb-platform16:17
Juli_dholbach: thanks for comments! do you mean copyrights for upstream?16:19
dholbachI did a diff between the old packaging and the new one16:20
dholbachand you changed the copyright year in debian/copyright from 2007 to 200816:20
dholbachwhen lots of .java source files have 1997-2008 in their header16:20
Juli_yes... I thing old copyright was also not good... it should be 1997-2008 as you say16:21
Juli_I'll correct16:21
dholbachalright16:22
Juli_about libnb-platform8-devel-java and Conflicts with platform7-devel-java16:23
dholbachregarding the conflicts/replaces: both devel-java packages contain files with the same name16:23
dholbachso they're bound to clash16:23
dholbachthe other packages are fine because all files have platform7 or platform8 in the file / directory name16:24
Juli_actually they both install staff at the same folder16:24
dholbachhttp://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html16:24
dholbachJuli_: can you install both devel-java packages at the same time?16:24
Juli_actually yes... i just thinking about if I really need them both simultaneously16:26
Juli_give me a second16:26
dholbachlet me try that too16:26
dholbachI get a clash when I try to install both16:27
dholbachthis could well happen to people who upgrade from one netbeans version to the other16:27
dholbachwe need to make sure they're not installed at the same time and that the upgrade is properly dealt with16:28
dholbachoh... the same for java-doc16:28
dholbachoh... the same for platform{7,8}-java-doc16:28
Juli_yes i see16:28
persiaJuli_: dholbach: Plan is to drop the old platform: there's nothing else depending on it in the archives, and users are expecting several API/ABI changes with a new release anyway.  We can't expect proper security support from upstream for 18 months on the older package.16:30
persia(well, we can kinda, but it may be awkward)16:30
dholbachpersia: right... still there needs to be a conflicts/replaces16:31
persiaIndeed :)16:31
persiadholbach: Thanks for helping with Java review :)16:31
dholbachsomebody needs to give a second ACK on nb-platform later16:32
dholbachbut given that we have the package in the archive already makes the review a bit more straightforward16:32
Juli_I'll upload new copyrights:)16:32
Juli_and may it it is better to set up Conflicts/replaces anyway?16:33
dholbachdefinitely16:33
Juli_ok...I'll do now16:33
dholbachwe can't have the package installation failing because two packages want to claim the same file16:33
Juli_dholbach: one question I can't understand... can user use Inrepid packages and Hardy packages simultaneously?16:38
dholbachJuli_: as soon the new nb-platform is ACKed, approved by the archive admins and built on the build daemons, we have the following situation:16:39
dholbachtwo source packages each building 3 binary packages16:39
dholbachand users having the old netbeans with old nb-platform (7) installed16:39
Juli_yes16:40
dholbachas soon as they upgrade to the new netbeans that will pull in the new nb-platform (8), right?16:40
Juli_yes16:40
dholbachright... that's the point where it clashes16:40
dholbachthe packages need to tell dpkg: "no way, I'm not going to be installable with package XYZ"16:40
dholbachthat's why we need the conflicts / replaces16:40
Juli_hmmm... i thought replaces is for this16:41
geserJuli_: if someone updates from hardy to intrepid, nothing deletes old packages from a system (even if they aren't anymore in the archive). The only exception are Conflicts specified in new packages.16:41
Juli_I can upgrade package with Replace only, without Conflicts... the result is both of them are supposed to be installed16:42
geserJuli_: Replace only tells dpkg that a package can overwrite files from an other package (e.g. a file which from one package to an other)16:42
Juli_geser:  yes I understand16:43
persiaJuli_: We specifically don't want to permit both of them to be installed, as the older package will not receive support, and the user will be left with a mess.  Much better to Conflict:16:45
Juli_persia: I agree, yes, but there will be a problem if user will try to install netbeans 6.0.1 (old one) having netbeans 6.1(new) packages in cache16:46
Juli_if it is impossible, than no problem16:46
persiaJuli_: Right, but that oughtn't happen because we'll only have one "netbeans" package in the archive.  That's why I advocated not having the version numbers in the package names.16:47
Juli_persia:  but I can configure my /etc/apt/sources to use hardy and intrepid simultaneously16:48
persiaJuli_: That's not supported :)16:48
Juli_persia: so, no questions any more! thanks for clarification!16:49
Juli_it takes so long time for package to appear on web after upload:(16:59
Juli_dholbach: fixed:) Thank you for keenness of observation17:01
Juli_dholbach: and sorry for doubts I just wanted to understand everything for future17:07
dholbachJuli_: no problem... better be safe and ask 5 times if you need to - I'm happy to help where I can :)17:08
Juli_dholbach: you really help:)17:08
dholbachJuli_: checking it ou17:18
dholbachout17:18
dholbachJuli_: that looks much better :-)17:29
* dholbach gives his +117:30
dholbachif anybody else can give their +1, we can get it uploaded :-)17:30
Juli_dholbach: thanks a lot!17:30
dholbachok my friends... I'm going to call it a day now17:44
dholbachsee you all tomorrow!17:44
Juli_Good bye dholbach:)17:47
dholbachcody-somerville or geser: do you think one of you could check out libnb-platform-java on REVU before FF?17:54
dholbach(as I said before it's an update of an existing source packages)17:55
dholbachthanks in advance - see you tomorrow :)17:55
