andresjhello. anybody here? :)04:10
ScottK-laptopNope.04:11
andresjhaha04:11
andresjhey I'm trying to package the latest versions of lyx in my PPA; but I'm running into problems.04:12
andresjI could upload 1.5.6 (only source change, no debian/ dir changes) for intrepid to launchpad, and it worked well04:12
andresjbut when I run pbuilder locally on a package for hardy, it cant find some dependencies04:13
andresjthe thing is, those dependencies are in hardy RELEASE04:13
andresj(whilst lyx-1.5.5 is in hardy-backports)04:14
ScottK-laptopYou pbuilder probably doesn't have backports in it's sources.04:16
ScottK-laptopYou/Your04:16
andresjthat could be... but does it matter? the packages it says are virtual (e.g. Depends: libboost-test-dev which is a virtual package.) all come from boost source package, which changelog says is in "hardy", not "hardy-backports"04:17
andresj* ScottK-laptop04:18
ScottK-laptopAh.04:18
ScottK-laptopandresj: What version of boost do you want?04:21
ScottK-laptopYeah, there aren't any in backports04:22
danbhfiveanyone here that can help me with debugging a c project's compile errors?04:23
andresjScottK-laptop: any that works :P >= 1.34.1 the package seems to say04:23
ScottK-laptopWhich hardy has.04:23
andresjexactly.04:24
andresjI don't see why pbuilder fails04:24
andresjtelling me they're virtual04:24
ScottK-laptopIt's not a virtual package either.04:24
ScottK-laptopI suspect a pbuilder bug.04:24
wgrantPerhaps the pbuilder lacks universe?04:24
ScottK-laptopboost is in Main04:24
wgrantSo it is.04:25
ScottK-laptopandresj: There is more than one way to get pbuilder to try and satisfy dependencies.04:25
andresjScottK-laptop: I am completely lost regarding that sentence.04:25
m8i-freyaCould I ask some question about packaging? If I found some bug in the "debian" directory comes from svn, should I report to upstream?04:25
ScottK-laptopandresj: pbuilder has to figure out what packages you need to build with.04:26
andresjof course04:26
ScottK-laptopThere's more than one set of methods it has to do that.04:26
andresjmm... ok...04:26
ScottK-laptopI find the current default method somewhat problematic.04:26
ScottK-laptopIIRC I got errors like that.04:26
andresjmm... how do I change it, then?04:27
ScottK-laptopSo I'm going to suggest you change it.04:27
ScottK-laptopI'm looking that up.04:27
ScottK-laptopIt's been a while since I've done it.04:27
andresjhahaha ok04:28
ScottK-laptopandresj: You'll need to edit /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc04:29
ScottK-laptopandresj: There's a line that starts PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD=04:30
ScottK-laptopandresj: Make it say: PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic"04:30
ScottK-laptopI'm not sure that will help, but it's helped me when I had problems like yours in the past.04:30
andresjmm... ok ill try that :) thanks.04:30
andresjstill telling me that libboost-filesystem-dev is not available. :/04:33
andresjoh thats in universe!04:33
andresjScottK-laptop: do u know how to add universe to pbuilder?04:33
ScottKandresj: Sorry, I'm exhausted and off to bed.04:34
andresjhahaha04:34
andresjthats ok thanks for your help :)04:34
andresjhey any idea why a specific requeriment was added to my package when debian/control doesn't say that? More specifically, lyx-1.5.6~ppa1~hardy1 has Build-Depends:  libboost-dev (>= 1.34.1),  libboost-filesystem-dev, libboost-signals-dev, libboost-regex-dev (among others), but Dependencies in aptitude appear: libboost-filesystem1.34.1 (>= 1.34.1-8), libboost-regex1.34.1 (>= 1.34.1-8), and libboost-signals1.34.1 (>= 1.34.1-8) none o05:17
RAOFandresj: dpkg-shlibdeps magic.05:18
andresjRAOF, oh I see... but I only have 1.34.1-4 in enabled repositories, I don't know where 1.34.1-8 came from... (I am using PPA)05:19
RAOFApparently 1.34.1-8 is the last time that the ABI was added to.  Alternatively, because it's crazy C++, they might just bump the shlibs each revision.05:19
RAOFandresj: Where are you building it?  Because it'll pick up the dependencies from where you build it.05:20
andresjRAOF, on launchpad, in a PPA05:20
RAOFPresumably actually building in a hardy context?05:21
andresjRAOF: well, the package is distribution hardy, if that's what you mean05:21
andresj(I mean, not only in the version number)05:22
RAOFRight.  I'm not sure if PPAs build against backports?  Maybe that's it?05:22
andresjRAOF, does that mean the package won't build? it did, though.05:22
andresji have binaries, and I added my PPA to my sources.list, and tried installing lyx through aptitude05:23
RAOFThe package obviously built, and is picking up those dependencies from the packages installed during the build process.05:23
andresjnow, where does packages come from? I have all checkboxes marked in my Software Sources dialog05:24
RAOFCan you pastebin the build log?05:26
andresjRAOF, you mean from the PPA? It already has an URL: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17331201/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-i386.lyx_1.5.6-0ubuntu1%7Eppa3%7Ehardy1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz05:26
RAOFandresj: Hm.  The boost libs are all coming from Hardy universe.  I idon't know why you've got crazy dependencies.05:28
andresjRAOF, yeah, its very wierd. What's even more wierd is that the build log never mentions 1.34.1-8; only 1.34.1-4 (for libboost-filesystem, that is)05:30
RAOFRight.  I dunno.05:31
andresjwhats more, it specifically says that the pkg depends on libboost-filesystem1.34.1 (>= 1.34.1-2.1)...05:31
andresjthats extremely wierd05:31
andresjwell thank you for your help RAOF :)05:31
andresjoh!!05:32

andresji added my PPA for intrepid, not for hardy05:32

andresjOK, so now I have packages for LyX 1.5.6 in my PPA. I think this almost fixes the bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/253196 (Bugfix upstream release of Lyx (1.5.6)). All that is needed is for the package to be put into the official distribution.05:53

* Hobbsee grabs a link11:21
toobaz2Hobbsee: this was just the point: I thought "[patch]" tag would have taken your attention; next time, should I ping someone here?11:22
toobaz2I mean: what's the expected behaviour of a "patcher"?11:23
* Hobbsee mutters at teh wiki.11:23
Hobbseetoobaz2: have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess11:23
Hobbseetoobaz2: (and patch is less than useful, as various people are known to tag their bugs with 'patch', even when there isn't a valid patch, in an attempt to get them fixed faster)11:24
Hobbseetoobaz2: the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess is the preferred process - although i don't know why it's not linked from the MOTU/ section.11:24
Hobbseeso it gets looked at every once in a while, and preference tends to be given to the sponsorship queue11:25
toobaz2Hobsee: OK, was just following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing under "Preparing patches"...11:25
Hobbseei figured.  it needs an amalgamation :)11:25
Hobbsee151.  yeesh.  i thought people had been working on it11:25
RainCTtoobaz2: (note that you will have to provide a debdiff for the sponsorship queue; normal patches will just be rejected)11:26
toobaz2RainCT: OK11:29
RainCTtoobaz2: basically the only difference is that you're missing a new changelog entry (use  dch -i -D intrepid  to create it) and that you've to use the command  debdiff  instead of  diff11:29
toobaz2yep, I know debdiff, I maintain a package in Debian, I just didn't know how to act in Ubuntu. thanks, shall act immediately11:30
RainCTtoobaz2: Ah, alright. The process is basically creating the debdiff, testbuilding the package (with pbuilder or whatever) to ensure that it works, and uploading the debdiff to a bug and subscribing ubuntu-universe-sponsors (universe, multiverse) or ubuntu-main-sponsors (main, restricted) to it :)11:32
RainCT(although some packages, like the mythbuntu- ones, have a different prefered workflow)11:33
toobaz2RainCT: shall I post a patch for Intrepid and one for Hardy? Or will Hardy - in case it seems necessary - just be backported?11:34
RainCTtoobaz2: first one for Intrepid, and once it has been accepted you can create one for Hardy and follow the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates process11:34

DktrKranzI'm not sure it can be bypassed in other ways, that's the one I use when I need to :)13:58
nhandlerThanks DktrKranz. That worked. IMHO, there should be an option you can pass to debuild that will tell it to not complain about this.14:00
DktrKranzthat change is hardcoded in devscripts, but I think a wishlist bug can be filed. Not sure if it has already discussed, though14:01
DktrKranznhandler, could you please try with dpkg-buildpackage -S -W ?14:02
nhandlerWhat does the -W option do DktrKranz ?14:03
DktrKranzif it doesn't work, change could be probably integrated with that option to turn error into a warning14:03

RainCTiulian: something ;). the current page looks confusing14:08
nhandlerRainCT: I don't think it is too confusing. I just hope that they create a script that I can run from a terminal to fetch manpages from manpages.ubuntu.com.14:08

DktrKranzgah!14:13
RainCTsebner: although showing a warning and trying to find a cookie somewhere else would be good. feel free to submit a patch ;)14:13
* DktrKranz hides from sebner 14:13
sebnerDktrKranz: I still have >5 sync requests without filing more now ;)14:13
* geser has exported his LP cookie to a text file which requestsync uses14:14
sebnerRainCT: /me != python14:14
RainCTsebner: then learn python while you are young :P14:14
iulianOr C14:14
DktrKranzsebner, brainfuck is a better choice14:14
sebnerRainCT: no ^^ , btw. how to use this thing O_o I read the manpage but it's still a secret to me14:14
* RainCT runs away from iulian 14:14
sebneriulian: C , gah14:14
sebnerDktrKranz: what about whitespaces?14:15
RainCTsebner: requestsync <package> intrepid14:15
DktrKranzsebner, butterflies14:15
DktrKranzsebner, you are new to programming languages, it's better to start with something easy. assembler is a good starting point14:15
sebnerRainCT: you are my hero :D (writing intrepid shouldn't be necessary. fix it!) :P :P :P14:16
sebnerDktrKranz: rofl. hmm not that new. /me likes C# xD14:16
RainCTDktrKranz: ah, a got an idea a while ago.. We should get a rule so that when sebner gets a MOTU he has to sponsor as many stuff as he got sponsored14:16
nhandlerDktrKranz: Yeah right. I would suggest perl ;)14:16
RainCTs/a/I14:16
iulianRainCT, sebner: I prefer to write something in C instead of python, but yeah, python is great too.14:16
DktrKranzsebner, c#??? go away, go away, GO AWAY!14:16
nhandlerRainCT: I think all MOTUs should be doing that anyway.14:17
sebnerDktrKranz: :P14:17
* geser throws mono at sebner14:17
DktrKranzRainCT, sebner is under *my* pressure. When he become MOTU, I'll push so many debdiffs to him he will collapse14:17
iulianHaha14:17
RainCT:)14:17
* RainCT hugs DktrKranz 14:17
sebnergeser: mono rocks :)14:17
sebnerDktrKranz: what about reviewing it yourself instead :P14:17
DktrKranzsebner, I'll drop my MOTU icon by then14:18
DktrKranzjust for the sake to bother you14:18
sebnerDktrKranz: lol.14:18
* RainCT rofl14:18
* sebner hides and runs away. No sebner no MOTU14:18
sebnerRainCT: help me to haXX0r my .lpcookie.txt14:18
sebner XD14:18
nhandlerAccording to the top uploaders page that emgent made, I will have to sponsor 177 patches (as of now) in order to make up for the ones that other people sponsored for me14:19
iuliansebner: You like C# and hate C?14:19
RainCTsebner: you should leave stupid sync requests and create some good packages instead, and then finally apply to MOTU.14:19
sebneriulian: there are worlds between them O_o14:19
iulianOr I misunderstood?14:19
sebnerRainCT: stupid? I'm fixing RC bugs :P14:20
iulianWell yea...14:20
DktrKranzdoes anybody know how many times (and what are they) PPA publishes binary packages?14:20
jorgenptPPAs are updated every 5 minutes, afaik?14:20
RainCTsebner: yes but once you're a MOTU you can fix more RC bugs as you save time because you don't need to subscribe u-u-s ;)14:20
RainCTiulian: C# is more like Java, afaik14:21
sebnerRainCT: doesn't matter. Have I never told you? I pushed my application back after intrepid release14:21
nhandlerRainCT: C# and java are very similar14:21
RainCT(I don't know much about it, though. Knowing who created it scares me away *g*)14:21
DktrKranzjorgenpt, upload queue is scanned every 5 minutes, I was referring to publishing binary packages into the repository14:21
iulianRainCT: Indeed14:21
jorgenptOh, thought that was the same timer.14:21
sebnerDktrKranz: have you noticed that nhandler uploaded >50 packages more than I did? Punish him! :P14:21
DktrKranznhandler, keep rocking.    sebner: go on retirement14:22
RainCTsebner: where are the stats?14:22
iulianRainCT: /+uploaded-packages?14:23
sebnerRainCT: http://thc.emanuele-gentili.com/utu/14:23
sebnerwell exactly 50 ^^14:23
RainCTthanks14:23
sebnerDktrKranz: I should :)14:23
* DktrKranz has 285 ?!?!?!?14:23
sebnerDktrKranz: seems so ^^14:24
DktrKranzmh... I didn't think so many14:24
iulianAhh, didn't know that emgent hosts a service like this.14:24
DktrKranzbut I suppose it's right :)14:24
sebnerDktrKranz: xD14:24
* DktrKranz wrote underlying code... python rocks!14:25
RainCTblargh my package count for intrepid is pathetic :P14:25
iulianYikes! I'm 6914:25
sebnerRainCT: hihi :P14:25
* RainCT considers breaking some stuff and fixing it afterwards to get some more uploads :P14:25
sebnerlol14:26
sebnerlol14:26
sebnerlol14:26
* RainCT discards that idea before Scott kills him ;P14:26
sebnerRainCT: meanwhile you could tell me how to haXX0r my .lpcookie.txt to make it working14:26
DktrKranzRainCT, could I suggest you "dch -i Rebuild just to enter Top-10 uploader list" ?14:26
RainCTand I'm still listed several times.. emgent`nl will you fix that somewhen? :P14:26
RainCTDktrKranz: Good idea. I could write a script to do that with all 20.000 universe packages :)14:27
gesersebner: wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~kees/scripts/cookies-sql2txt, run it and store the output in ~/.lpcookie.txt14:27
DktrKranzRainCT, do you want it? I already have it... now seahorse-plugins is in place, it's all automatic :)14:28
* DktrKranz hugs twice seb128 for that!14:28
RainCTgeser: I think requestsync already uses that script14:28
sebnergeser: you are my hero now :D14:29
RainCTDktrKranz: woo. what is that for?14:29
RainCT(seahorse-plugins)14:29
DktrKranzRainCT, it keeps stored your gpg password, no need to retype it each time14:29
geserRainCT: yes, but sebner wanted to store the cookie in a text file14:30
DktrKranzand when you do NBS cleaning, it's AWESOME!14:30
RainCTbtw, I installed and purged epiphany-browser a while ago and since then whenever I try to open a link from terminator it opens in gnome-terminal with elinks :/. How can I fix that?14:30
* sebner doesn't want but requestsyncs wants14:30
geserRainCT: select an other default browser doesn't work for you?14:33
RainCTgeser: Where?14:34
geserGnome or KDE?14:34
RainCTgeser: Gnome. I already have Fx3 selected on System -> Prefs. -> Prefered Applications14:35
DktrKranzuse chrome with wine :P14:37
LaneyRainCT: What does `xdg-open http://some.url' do?14:37
sebnerDktrKranz: It's running but not usable xD14:38
RainCTLaney: elinks14:38

geserso it worked14:45

RainCTsebner: the "database is locked" exception is catched now and only prints a warning14:48
mok0What is the status of the following page? It seems to be somewhat out of date. When looking through the MOTU minutes, it seems persia promised to create a writeup on the New Upstream Review process (using interdiff) but I can't locate that anywhere? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings/2007-11-05/NewUpstreamReview14:48
RainCTmok0: I don't know about that page, but I thought we don't use interdiff anymore?14:49

Ampelbeinhi there! i have a question about fixing a bug. If the package has not yet an automated-patch-system could i then use quilt to make my patches? or should i use inline-patching?15:50
RainCTAmpelbein: if there isn't any commented out patch system or such it is usually recommended to see which one the Maintainer uses on some others of his packages, or use the easiest one (eg., if the package uses CDBS then the obvious choice would be simple-patchsys.mk)15:53

andresjare people here? i created a package to solve https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/253196 in my PPA (https://edge.launchpad.net/~andresjriofrio/+archive), and I was wondering if a MOTU member could check it (it works flawlessly with me) and release the upgrade...16:43

Laneyandresj: You should follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess16:46
andresjLaney: mm... ok I'll go that, thanks :)16:47
Laneyandresj: Did you speak to the Debian maintainer of lyx?16:48
andresjLaney: no, I didn't. I created the package mainly so that I could have the new version. :P   but then I saw that bug and thought my packages would help.16:49
Laneyandresj: Well if it's good he might want to upload it to Debian, no sense duplicating work16:50
LaneyBut there is a freeze on over there so he might not16:50
andresjLaney: mm... I see, I see. Do bugfix releases superseed freezes like in Ubuntu?16:51
Laneyandresj: Only for "important" bugs16:52
LaneyAnd I see that 1.6 is already in experimental so it's probably not very likely16:52
andresjhahaha, ok. I'll try sending this using the Sponsorship Process, then. :)   And nice to hear that, now I can use that package and port it to Ubuntu. :P Although I'm not sure which would be easier...16:54

riot_lehi @all, i have an Question about Bugfixing18:22
riot_lei joined dholbachs Lessons at UDW this week and want to start with my new knownledges, i take an patch from fedora (found on harvest: http://daniel.holba.ch/harvest/handler.py?pkg=gnome-settings-daemon&not_apply=11547) and apply this patch, edit the changelog, debuild, pbuilder and created an debdiff. What have to follow next?18:25
riot_leno one there who can help?18:31
albert23riot_le: now you attach your debdiff to the bug report and subscribe the right sponsor team. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess18:31
riot_lethere is no bug in Launchpad to that, i have taken this patch from direct from fedora-cvs18:34
albert23riot_le: in that case you open a bug yourself and describe the problem that will be fixed with your patch.18:35
