jpdsNCommander: Hmm?00:01
NCommanderjpds, I've roughly caused anyone in ubuntu-backports to get 100 or so emails due to my work on cutting the queue down to size00:01
NCommander(120 NEW to less than 30)00:01
NCommanderjpds, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hardy-backports - I think the pretty pie graph says it better than I can00:02
NCommander(as a note, the NEW was at 85%-ish when I started)00:02
jpdsNCommander: I don't have any mail from that.00:02
NCommanderHrm, it looked like ubuntu-backporters got any email that was sent due to changes on the bugs in backports00:03
NCommanderGuess I'm wrong00:03

* NCommander runs00:04
* NCommander still has to attack the gutsy and dapper queues ;.;00:04
jpdsNCommander: You have to be ~motu first.00:05
NCommandersadly ;.;00:05
NCommanderI don't even meet the time requirements for UUC00:06
NCommanderjpds, well, could you at least move some things from triaged/confirmed to inprogress ;-)00:07

NCommanderOh00:07
NCommanderDamn time differences00:07
jpdsNight!00:07
NCommander07:32 is morning O-o;00:08
NCommanderUnless thats 12 hour time00:08
NCommanderBackports for hardy should be done by then00:08
tormodogra: just discovered that tedg decided to make his own xscreensaver 5.07-0 instead of using all my work in 5.07-1. So much for avoiding duplicate work.00:17
sorenNCommander: 07:32 is morning, but 00:07:32 is just a few minutes past midnight :)00:50
NCommanderoh00:51
NCommanderwhoops00:51
* NCommander wonders how long until the archive admins handle the backports queue00:56
CarlFKcjwatson: guessing you can tell me what package this should be against https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/26245100:56
LaserJockhow interesting, Firefox opens a new blank window every time I open a tab or move to a different webpage00:58
LaserJockand if I close one FF crashes completely00:58
sorenLaserJock: Those are probably from the pluginwrapper thingie.01:00
sorenNot that knowing that will help anything, but meh. :)01:00
LaserJocksoren: ahh, right, I did upgrade that recently :/01:01
slangasekCarlFK: the assertion is in dpkg, so there's a dpkg bug01:06
CarlFKslangasek: thanks01:06
slangasekCarlFK: if fixing that bug doesn't fix the overall problem, then iterate ;)01:06
NCommanderwooo, ten backport NEW bugs left01:09
=== superm1|away is now known as superm1
calci must be doing something wrong02:12
calcmy $dest = "test/foo/bar/baz";02:12
calcmkdir -p $dest;02:12
calcwhy does that not work in perl?02:12
calctells me: Use of uninitialized value in mkdir at ./test.pl line 4.02:13
slangasekwhich line is line 4?02:13
calcthe mkdir line02:13
slangasek"mkdir -p $dest" is wrong, regardless02:13
slangasekperl isn't shell02:13
calcoh what should it be?02:13
calcits a snippet from another script in ooo-build02:13
StevenKmkdir($dest);02:13
calcdoes perl mkdir make leading dirs?02:13
slangasekwell, either you need to call system("mkdir -p $dest"), or you need to implement -p yourself, I think02:14
calcok02:14
StevenKI'm not certain, but I don't think so.02:14
slangasekor use mkpath from File::Path02:14
calcok02:14
calci'm trying the system()02:14
* calc isn't sure how this worked for the person who wrote it02:15
calci didn't think you could call commands directly but he is apparently at least trying to do it all throughout the code02:17
calclol02:17
slangasekmaybe the intrepreter line at the top is a red herring, and he's invoking it as sh ./haha.pl02:17
=== jamesh_ is now known as jamesh
slangaseksuperm1: hum, why does mythbuntu-log-grabber build-depend on *both* python-central and python-support?02:23
StevenKslangasek: Just to be sure02:25
slangasekoh; isn't it better to use python-cya for that?02:25
slangasek... why is there a library named "libass"?02:25
slangasek-rw-r--r-- root/root      3019 2008-08-28 18:02 ./usr/include/ass/ass_types.h02:27

lifelessat least they don't have a 'hats' class02:27
slangasekhah02:27
calcslangasek: nope its definitely perl but looks like buggy perl02:37
NCommanderStevenK, hola02:51
StevenKNCommander: I'm starting to get the impression you only talk to me when you want my GPG key.02:51
NCommanderStevenK, no, I wanted you to confirm I have no life02:52
NCommanderStevenK, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hardy-backports02:52
StevenKYou don't need me to do that ...02:52
NCommanderI finished processing the backports queue (112 bugs) for Hardy within 24 hours02:52
StevenKI think I hear slangasek screaming02:52
slangasekStevenK: maybe he means that he wants you to triage that he has no life02:52
NCommanderYes well, causing slangasek to run in fear is always an amusing passtime02:53
slangasekthe ~ubuntu-archive queue is only 48 bugs, I think you mean you hear ScottK and jdong screaming02:53
NCommanderI already got compaints that I flooded a few peoples inboxs02:54
NCommander118 bug handling causes a lot of email sent02:54
NCommanders/handling/handed02:54
NCommander... handled02:54
* Hobbsee is thinking of /dev/null'ing all non-bugmail from launchpad.02:54
StevenKslangasek: The pain will end up in your lap soon enough :-P02:55
NCommanderThe easy solution would to simply make me an archive admin and then delgate the task to me02:55
NCommanderThat way all the pain is self-inflicted02:55
NCommanderOnce I'm an MOTU, I can also spare ScottK and jdong pain ;-)02:55
slangasekStevenK: I'm subtly putting load on other people in the right places so that the backports queue will reach ubuntu-archive right when pitti is back and I'm on holiday ;)02:56
StevenKNCommander: Your easy solution has some remarkable assumptions. :-P02:56
StevenKslangasek: Haha!02:56
NCommanderslangasek, I'll make sure pitti knows you were to blame for that02:56
slangasekNCommander: no, there's a specific backporters team, MOTUs aren't empowered to ack backports on their own02:56
NCommanderOr else I'm going to get yelled at for making his job hard02:56
* StevenK is waiting for pitti to come back so we can run a broom through NBS02:56
Hobbseeslangasek: i didn't think you were supposed to admit to that in a public channel?02:56
NCommanderslangasek, er, ubuntu-backporters which can add the archive admins to ack it02:56
NCommanderRight now, everything sitting on ScottK and jdong because I'm not an offical backporter so they need to ack everything before it goes to the arch admins02:57
NCommanderI'm hoping to start dapper backports next :-)02:57
* NCommander hears the screaming02:57
=== Pici` is now known as Pici
jdong*sigh* I just got back on campus after 12 hours at the airport trying to convince the guy at the ticket counter that a 2:15 flight doesn't work at 3:01 even if the DOS window says it hasn't taken off....02:59
NCommanderjdong, don't check your mailbox then if you don't want to have a worse day02:59
jdongand then had to convince the guy beside him Washington DC *does* do daylight savings time, and even if they didn't it would be an hour in the wrong way.02:59
jdongand too late. I did take a peek at the bug queues I was tending to before vaction.02:59
jdongand it doesn't look fun.02:59
NCommanderI tested every hardy backport03:00
StevenKjdong: You want to talk to -> NCommander03:00
NCommanderThat's 120-ish bugs03:00
slangasekHobbsee: that just makes more fun watching people try to prove it03:00
jdongplus in the coming 3 days I have to figure out what classes I am going to go to take this term :)03:00
jdongNCommander: if you've left comments on said bugs, I will be chewing through the queue this long weekend03:00
NCommanderjdong, yup03:00
NCommanderjdong, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hardy-backports - No NEW bugs left03:00
NCommanderNow I need to start on gutsy03:00
* NCommander hears swearing03:00
slangasekjdong: it doesn't work even if the DOS window says it hasn't taken off, because the DOS window doesn't correspond to reality?03:01
jdongnote above comment about stress of choosing MIT courses for this term; my progress here *may* be slow03:01
jdongslangasek: I think they're still having those airport system difficulties they were having earlier this week03:01
jdongslangasek: I really didn't want to be sent on a wild goose chase through a shuttle and two terminals to look at an empty boarding gate :)03:01
NCommanderjdong, well, I'm going to be in Boston sometime in September. If you want to flog me while I'm there for doing the testing grunt work, then we should meet up :-)03:01
jdongNCommander: cool :) hopefully the queue will be cleared by then03:02
NCommanderStevenK & jdong: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/hardy-backports/+question/4350903:03
jdong*sigh* thanks for all the hard work that you've put into triaging these backports but please don't goof around with the bug reporting system :)03:04
* NCommander zaps it03:04
NCommanderIt was just a joke :-)03:04
slangasektry Yahoo Answers03:04
NCommanderAnd now its not on hardy-backports anymore03:05
* NCommander attached it to his private project03:05
jdongok now to figure out where to steal food since that was the one thing I forgot to pack....03:06
jdongI am guessing espresso beans have no nutritional content at 10:00PM03:06
slangasektheir nutritional content is slight, at all hours03:06
jdongit also tends to decay the longer you use them :)03:07
slangasekalso they tend not to be very filling03:07
NCommandertrue, but without caffiene, most Ubuntu contributors would slowly be going insane as they fought sleep deprivation in the mornings03:07
jdongwill I be surprised in a not-fun way if I update my Intrepid at the moment?03:10
NCommanderjdong, no issues here updating since the FF03:12
NCommanderjdong, roughly speaking, how bad is the backports-testers manpower, ScottK said it wasn't great, but I'm worried if I start attaching debdiffs to fix things that don't compile, its just going to sit and not get touched03:18
slangasekI think you might want to take a step back and wait to see how the backport team manages the queue you've already given them, at this point03:27
NCommandermaybe a good idea03:29
NCommanderI can go work on FTBFS's for awhile03:29
cody-somervilleNCommander, I have something for you to do03:29
NCommandershoot, cody-somerville03:30
cody-somervilleNCommander, call my bank and harass them as to where the wire containing my pay went - I'm rather hungry :P03:31
* NCommander falls over03:31
NCommanderOk, what's your account info, security information, bank, etc?03:31
NCommanderStevenK, backports and uploads aside, how are you in general?03:33
cody-somervilleStevenK is always horrible.03:33
cody-somervilleHaven't you met him?03:33
NCommanderno03:34
NCommanderBut he sounds like an interesting individual to meet03:34
cody-somervilleWell, I'm sure you will in December.03:34
NCommanderWhat's December?03:34
cody-somervilleUDS03:34
NCommanderI can't afford a plane ticket to California ;.;03:34
cody-somervilleThats why you'll get sponsorship03:35
NCommanderwho in there right minds would sponsor me ;-)?03:35
NCommander*their03:35
cody-somervillemneptok03:35
NCommanderwho or should I say what is that?03:35
cody-somervillealthough mneptok is never in his right mind so that might be a trick question03:35
* StevenK glares at cody-somerville03:36
cody-somervillegah!03:36
* cody-somerville ducks.03:36
* NCommander watches cody-somerville explode from StevenK's glare03:36
NCommanderwhich comes the next question is how do I apply?03:37
cody-somervilleNCommander, I dunno if they take applications. It works a bit differently each release cycle.03:37
NCommander(for sponsorship)03:37
cody-somervilleNCommander, They won't be looking at sponsorship until around October anyhow.03:37
NCommanderafter intrepid+1 releases, right?03:38
cody-somervilleWell, usually they start sponsorship stuff roughly 3 months before UDS. This year, UDS is the second week of December.03:38
NCommanderOh shoot03:38
NCommanderI remember we had this chat, and I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to go03:38
NCommanderWell, with a little luck I can03:38
cody-somervilleI don't remember having this chat but I'm glad you do :003:39
NCommanderIt's at the Googleplex, right?03:39
cody-somervilleIndeed it is03:40
* NCommander looks at his uni's schedule03:41
NCommanderSo this is the 7-12th?03:41
cody-somerville7-13th most likely03:42
cody-somervilleactual summit is 8th-12th03:42
NCommanderThat should work fine03:43
* cody-somerville doesn't have much choice.03:44
NCommanderWell, your not an active student cody-somerville03:44
NCommanderI am ;-)03:44
cody-somervilleI'm a student :P03:45
cody-somervilleI learn everyday03:45
NCommanderI look forward to meeting all of you there then03:45
cody-somervilleNCommander, omgz, we can like form a posse like the server team does :P03:47
slangasek...03:48
NCommanderI work with too many subgroups. I'll have to divide myself.03:48
NCommanderThe question is which group should get which bodypart ?03:48
cody-somervilleNCommander, I propose a new posse. The "I contribute to almost everything in Ubuntu" posse.03:48
moquistI need my postinst to behave differently depending on which binary package (from a common src package) is being installed. Is there a variable I can check, or should I have multiple postinst scripts, or is there yet a third alternative I have not imagined?03:49
NCommanderNah, that's too exclusive and snotty, I'm an average joe03:49
NCommandermoquist, I personally recommend multiple postinst scripts03:49
slangasekmoquist: you don't get the package name available to you at runtime, no03:50
moquistOK. So if I just create <binpkg1>.postinst and <binpkg2>.postinst, that should do the trick.03:50
slangasekmoquist: because the postinst being executed is always extracted from the .deb, it's expected that the postinst already knows what package (and what package version) it comes from03:50
slangasekyes03:50
moquistNCommander, slangasek: thx03:50
slangasekyou could create a common one too and munge it in debian/rules, if you find that more maintainable03:51
moquistoooooo03:51
moquistI'm not sure. I haven't tried breaking it up yet.03:51
TheMuson/c03:52
slangasekmoquist: just don't write a 50-line abstraction in make that you use to generate all your maintainer scripts, like some developers I know :)03:53
moquistheh; not likely03:53
moquistwould it be bad form (at least?) to simply chuck a config value into debconf that tells me which .config ran, which would tell postinst how to behave...?03:54
cody-somervilleslangasek, Is it possible to have a second Xubuntu experimental daily build that also pulls from a PPA?03:57
slangasekmoquist: mm, yes, that would be bad form. :)03:57
slangasekcody-somerville: it's possible, but why is it needed?03:57
slangasekwell - anything's /possible/, but I don't actually know that pulling from PPAs is /feasible/ on antimony03:58
slangasek(and it wouldn't make me particularly happy, personally)03:58
cody-somervilleslangasek, To make testing of xfce 4.6 easier. We're currently opting to keep 4.4 in the archive since there is uncertainty as to the Xfce4 project's ability to meet follow through on their time based release schedule after missing several deadlines.03:59
slangasekhmm03:59
StevenKslangasek: I've done those changes to livecd-rootfs. They aren't pretty.03:59
StevenKWhich is why I didn't push them into the bzr branch04:00
slangasekcody-somerville: so were you wanting liveCDs, or just alternates?04:00
cody-somervilleI was thinking liveCDs04:00
TheMusoouch04:00
slangasekyeah, I don't think that would pass muster04:00
slangaseksince there's no trust path to ppas, and liveCDs run the maintainer scripts (== untrusted code) during building04:01
cody-somervilleWell, the only people who can upload to the PPA are going to be the same people who can upload to the archive once we do the archive reorganization.04:03
slangasekTTBOMK, we don't have signed PPAs yet -- therefore there's no trust path to the PPA, regardless04:04
cody-somervilleHowever, I understand that doesn't negate trust concerns04:04
* cody-somerville nods.04:04
NCommandercody-somerville, it would be possible to build CDs ourselves, but due to the way cdimage works, it doesn't support laying multiple APT repositories over each other. If we would like to create a livecd, we'd likely have to use a different tool for it04:06
NCommander(the only way to do it with cdimage is create a apt repo that has all of universe and main on it, and then upload the beta packages to that and let it run)04:06
* _MMA_ would just use Reconstructor. As long as the PPA packages would upgrade over what's in the archive.04:08
NCommander_MMA_, Reconstructor?04:08
cody-somervilleI would so use moblin-image-creator me self :P04:09
_MMA_http://reconstructor.aperantis.com04:09
NCommanderdamn04:10
NCommanderHandy tool04:10
cody-somervilleWell, it is past my bed time. I need to get my beauty sleep for my skydiving this weekend.04:10
_MMA_cody-somerville: In any event, as long as you didn't need to do it daily (as it would be a pain) you could make the disk manually and upload it somewhere to get testing.04:10
_MMA_NCommander: It's how *many* of the Ubuntu off-shoots are made.04:11
NCommanderdamn04:11
NCommanderThat would make my life easier04:11
* _MMA_ goes back to his family.04:12

superm1slangasek, yeah just to be sure ;)  I'll get nick and/or thomas to take care of that05:17
NCommanderthanks lamont just making sure05:19
superm1NCommander, did you see my comment on the DKMS backport bug?05:20
NCommandersuperm1, I did, just haven't reponsed yet05:20
superm1NCommander, ah okay05:20
NCommanderIt's an issue of rdepends. When we do a backport, we have to check all the rdepends,05:20
NCommandersuperm1, if your update breaks something in the kernel, we're going to get a LOT of pissed off users :-)05:20
superm1NCommander, nothing "in the kernel" depends on it that's installed by default.05:21
superm1there should be 1-3 different packages that use it, but they are all optional packages05:21
NCommanderBut a lot of systems have restricted modules05:21
NCommanderAnd as a group, we can't test them05:21
superm1in hardy restricted modules aren't built by dkms05:21
NCommanderI have hardware for one of these modules05:21
superm1that starts with intrepid05:21
NCommanderOh05:21
NCommanderTHat's different05:21
NCommanderI apologize for that misunderstanding then ;-)05:22
superm1no problem.  wouldn't have been clear if you were just joining development this time around05:24
NCommanderI'm testing to see if the dkms builds properly05:24
NCommander&on hardy05:24
NCommanderif it does, I'll mark it confirmed, otherwise it goes to incomplete until someone can properly port it05:24
superm1i probably should have just attached my hardy build log to save that time, but more eyes doesn't hurt i suppose05:25
NCommanderWe have to do it since we also test installability and such05:25
NCommanderOr at least I do05:25
NCommanderI'm not going to ack soemthing without confirming itmyself :-)05:25
NCommanderyou've got backports! (mail)05:26
NCommandersuperm1, I still see the dkms has rdepends05:29
NCommanderon hardy05:29
superm1yeah on envy packages and lirc-modules-source05:30
NCommandernvidia too05:31
superm1hence the envy packages bit05:31
NCommandersuperm1, I confirmed your dkms backport05:34
superm1thanks NCommander.  btw since when are you part of ~ubuntu-backporters? I don't recall ever talking with you on backports in the past?05:35
NCommanderI'm not a backporter, I'm a tester05:35
NCommanderBut there has been no testers so I ran the entire queue through the testing queue05:35
NCommander(120-ish bugs)05:35
NCommanderI hope to join the backporters group once I become an MOTU05:36
superm1ah okay :)05:36
superm1that's good, the backporters group goes up on good runs and then dormant for a while05:36
NCommanderWell, I might have scared them off05:38
NCommanderThey have gotten roughly 100-200 emails from me05:38
StevenKSo this week might be a "dormant" one05:39
NCommanderYup05:39
NCommanderOnce they start processing the queue, I'll work on the maybe fixing the backports that need real porting05:41
ScottKNCommander: I only see 24.  That's not so bad.05:41
lukehasnonameSo did Pidgin end up keeping its reign?05:41
NCommanderScottK, jdong got sick when he saw his inbox cause he has ALL of them I've done right along05:43
NCommanderScottK, I'm proud of the fact that the new queue is 0 on hardy backports05:43
ScottKYeah, well I'm smart enough not to get the generic backports bugmail.05:43

ScottKDoing it now.05:44
ScottKIt's a battle between the Scotch and it's effect on my typing to see how far I get.05:44

NCommanderI guess that's been changed :-/07:13
NCommanderjpds, for obvious reasons, I can't test scoring of PPAs, so you should test that for me once I post my branch07:14
jpdsNCommander: u-d-t branch?07:14
NCommanderyes07:14
jpdsYay, more patches.07:14
NCommanderAny specific option you want for ppa's?07:14
NCommanderI was going to use --ppa but -p might be better07:15
jpdsNCommander: You can have -p and --ppa, look at the # Retry options in trunk.07:15
NCommanderthe what?07:18
* NCommander is checking07:18
jpdsNCommander: lines 43 - 48 in buildd.07:18
NCommanderYeah07:19
NCommanderSO I'll add it at the end07:19
NCommanderI was going to make it buildd --ppa *other ops*07:19
NCommanderBut if I move it towards the end, the code is cleaner :-)07:19
NCommanderOh wait, I see07:21
NCommanderbah, I haven't done much with options parser07:21

NCommanderSorta working on that07:24
NCommanderThis is fun07:24
NCommanderThere is no great way to handle individual users and group PPA detector07:25
NCommanderjpds, I think we'll need a --ppa, and a --ppa-group :-/07:28

NCommanderOk07:29
NCommanderUgh07:32
NCommanderI need to extend checkSourceExists07:33
cjwatsonLaney: the reason there wasn't an alternate CD yesterday was that I was trying to do too many things at once when uploading debian-installer the previous night and as a result it failed to build. That's fixed now so we should get new alternate CDs shortly.07:33

ograNg, there was a discussion on the dekstop ML or so i think ... or on ubuntu-devel09:09
Ngah09:09
Ngit's..... pretty horrible, and it suggests that if you don't pick an option it will just shut down after a minute, same for the logout. that seems even worse than being ugly, it's potentially harmful :/09:10
ogralukehasnoname, i like it, but it has massive security issues with IRC ... like ignroring the /msg command ... so "/msg nickserv passwd" is automatically exposed to the channel :)09:11
ograi dont get why they filter irc commands in irc (btw /me works)09:11
