superm1that reminds me of what i seem to remember being a 13M diff.gz on VLC a few releases back06:02
persiaOff all the diffs I've prepared, the largest are typically those of which I'm proudest (although I do wish those weren't for dead upstreams so they could be integrated)06:03
wgrantvlc never had a particularly large diff.gz. But it had a lot of diff in the tarball.06:04

superm1Laney, well i'm going to be afk for a bit, so if you can add an update to bug 262832 or unassign it from yourself if you're not going to be taking care of it, that'd be great.06:20

tuxmaniachello everybody. http://daniel.holba.ch/harvest/handler.py?pkg=gnumeric <-- four bugs have been resolved upstream but the fixes are in the GNOME VCS. Is it worthwhile/recommended to apply those patches to the current intrepid version though it is not released?07:24
tuxmaniacalso would it require any exception? I hope not as it does not add any feature but fixes 4 bugs07:25
dholbachtuxmaniac: you could try to get in touch with upstream and ask when their next release is due - you could then ask for a FFe for that, if it takes too long for them to release a new version, you could try to patch the current gnumeric package07:27
dholbachtuxmaniac: best to ask in #ubuntu-desktop as well07:27
ScottKWould we get it naturally through a release we would normally expect to get before release?07:27
dholbachmaybe there are update plans already07:27
persiatuxmaniac: Generally no freeze exception is required for bugfix only, although if you introduce a new version, documentation is appreciated.07:27
dholbachtuxmaniac: we're at 1.8.3 in intrepid and 1.9.2 has been released (this might be an unstable release, so best to chat with the upstream folks and ask)07:29

wgrantWhat is Playdeb and why is it on Planet?07:56
wgrantIt sounds awfully like Getdeb.07:56
persiawgrant: It is part of getdeb.08:00
persiaAs for why it's on planet, the bzr history will tell you who added the feed.08:00
\shgetdeb was mentioned the last time on linux-community.de and I had to explicitly add a comment that this repo is third party, and no bugs should be filed against ubuntu for those packages...sounds like "remember, remember the 5th of november. the gunpowder, treason, and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot"08:03
wgrantpersia: He added it himself, it seems.08:05
wgrantOdd that we have such Members.08:05
tuxmaniachello motus. I have re-uploaded gresistor after fixing lincese issues. If a MOTU can review and comment on http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=gresistor (may be advocate if found OK) I will go ahead with rising an exception. hopefully it gets approved since it is a small package and definitely not going to break things.08:08
wgrantThe freeze isn't there to be ignored.08:09
tuxmaniacwgrant: i didnt get the point.08:10
wgrantThe point of a freeze isn't really to just say that this new package probably won't break anything. It's not something we really want, so I don't think it should receive a freeze exception. But I'm not on motu-release.08:10
Laneysuperm1: Do you think disabling ivtv is a viable option?08:11
tuxmaniacwgrant: ok. so I wait for the next cycle.08:11
persia\sh: Fawlkes!08:15
persiawgrant: You might have a chat with such a party, if you like.  I know most of the games listed there are also in the repos, and most of the exceptions either have licensing issues or are in SVN waiting for squeeze to open to be uploaded.08:16
wgrantI've little time for much Ubuntu activity until mid-November, unfortunately.08:17
wgrantAnd initiating discuss with a person in that category is guaranteed to absorb time.08:18
persiawgrant: Understood.  Perhaps someone else will do it.  I know that the first response to that post was by a member of the Debian Games team, wondering why playdeb was separate.08:22

DktrKranzKoon, ah... I remember it a bit. Some times ago I asked kirkland about regression potential for a lsb SRU. You may want to ask him if he's fine with it, otherwise you can proceed with nagios2 (unless there are more packages affected)13:26

DktrKranzkirkland, I imagined ;)   We were discussing about a potential lsb SRU (bug 252686), since you touched lsb lately, your opinion is important here.13:49

kirklandhowever, I recognize that the nagios2 patch introduces the path with least chance of regression13:54

kirklandif we get any resistance for the LSB patch, we'll push the nagios2 one instead13:54

kirklandKoon: well, i think the nagios2 patch would be much easier to SRU13:55
Koonkirkland: and since I already have a SRU for nagios2 for another bug...13:55
kirklandKoon: LSB is so fundamental, and used by every init script that it will come under heavy, heavy scrutiny13:55

balachmarHi, just followed the tutorial. And have found one item in harvest that I would like to fix. checkgmail. But it is a unmetdeps. How should this be fixed?18:03
persiabalachmar: Generally it's important to find out which dependency is unmet, why it was listed as a dependency, and with what it may be replaced.18:06
balachmarpersia: If you could have a look at the bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/checkgmail/+bug/201555 . Am I right in thinking that this bug should be thought of as resolved because the dependancies should be met in intrepid, apart from one. Which is handled in another bug report?18:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 201555 in checkgmail "checkgmail dependencies not met/checked" [Medium,Confirmed]18:11
persiabalachmar: That's quite a mess of related issues, but yes, the bug history makes it look like that bug isn't the place to start detangling it.18:23
persiaThat said, if checkgmail really *needs* those libraries, they ought be Depends: rather than Recommends:18:23
persiaReading more carefully, it appears it just acts strangely with them as Recommends, but actually works.18:24
balachmarpersia: yes I have read that as well, so what would be the way to go? Mark it as closed or something?18:51
persiabalachmar: If you think it's fixed, you could mark it as closed.  Have you tested it in intrepid?18:51
balachmarwill do that in my VM (after the upgrade, I am currently testing the upgrade proces)18:52
persiaGenerally I think anything mark Fix Released should have been confirmed as actually closed, rather than theoretically closed.18:52
persiaThe exception being certain classes of bugs against removed packages.18:52
