csilkIf a developer only has copyright in a small number of files in a new packagee would I list this person in the same section as th emain copyright holder or would I do it in another section in the COPYRIGHT file?17:17
RainCTcsilk: if those files are part of the main program, then in the same section17:18
csilkThanks17:18
RainCTcsilk: if it's a bundled library/file/whatever then in a separate one17:18
persiaWell, it depends17:18
RainCTyw17:18
csilkpersia,  the secondary person has joint copyright (with main (C) holder) on 5 .c files17:19
csilkRainCT, ^17:19
persiaIf the files are included in the main program, but logically distinct, http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html seems to recommend a separate section.17:19
persiaOh, if it's joint copyright, and the same license, just put them in the main section.17:20
RainCTpersia: do you have some example of "logically distinct" (beside bundled stuff)?17:21
csilkOk, thanks for the link aswell, I'll save that as a reference17:21
persiaRainCT, "logically distinct" could be bundled stuff, plugins, the result of a fork, an alternate UI added, or any of a number of other things.  Basically, some separable chunk of stuff that someone contributed independently of working on the main tree.17:22
csilkpersia, gerping the dirs I just found a library written by a 3rd party17:24
csilkI guess that would go in a seperate section17:25
csilkit's doesnt specifiy a license, it justs (public domain, use whatever license you like) ?17:25
csilk*greping17:25
persiacsilk, That's an example of something that gets it's own section.17:26
csilkWould I just note that i's under the "public domain" license or what?17:26
csilkTechnically public domain isn't alicense17:27
persiaYou'd report that it was "in the public domain".17:28
persiaCiting the PD grant and author is probably useful, as in some places authors can't grant stuff to the public, but some of those places recognise intent.17:29
csilkPD grant?17:29
persia*Don't* write "Copyright $(author)" anywhere, as it's not, if there was a public domain grant (except in jurisdictions where there is no public domain, or where authors cannot grant to the public domain).17:29
csilkOk17:30

* sistpoty|work calls it a day... cya17:32
sebnersistpoty|work: ciao17:32
persiaNothing in the public domain is copyrighted : that's the point.  Copyright either isn't claimed initially, isn't valid, is expired, or was explicity discarded.17:32
csilkThanks for the help persia, just one further question, this app also contains the XMMS media player (integrated) the author of the app modifed xmms slightly so it would integrate with his code better, after listing the upstream authors of xmms should I put something like *Modified by AUTHOR * ?17:34
persiaYes, but we don't like to accept packages like that, because it's code duplication, and hurts security.  In the special case of xmms also please try to avoid linking against GTK+1.2.  Given the modifications, and that xmms has been dropped from the repo, it might not be as much of a concern.17:36
persiaNote that you probably want to make sure upstream is maintaining *all* of the xmms fork, as upstream xmms is inactive, so there could be all sorts of bugs,.17:36
csilkpersia, upstream isn't maintaining xmms other than making slight intergration modifications. also, when you say linking against GTK+1.2 what exactly do you mean?17:40
persiaThe xmms interface was GTK+ version 1.  Most of the GTK apps in Ubuntu now use GTK+ version 2.  Version 1 doesn't support niceties such as UTF-8, or current themes.  We'd like to drop it from the archive, but it's stuck by a couple things.17:42
persiaAnything new that uses it is likely to be at risk.17:42
csilkI'll check it's gtk dependencies17:43

Buissi have written certain modules for my education purposes. Not much. I want to learn more on device drivers also17:45
BuissI have studied DD basics17:46
csilkpersia,  looks like it doesnt use the xmms UI it just takes some of the core codebase. This app required gtk-2.6 +17:46
csilk*requires17:46
persiacsilk, Excellent news.  Just be careful with copyright.17:46
csilkpersia,  yeah will do.   Looks like the only barrier to entry will be the fact that upstream aren't actively maintaining the xmms codebase other than (as mentioned) integration based modifications17:47
persiaBuiss, Hmm.  I'm not sure.  You might do well to ask in #ubuntu-kernel, but peobably next week : this week the team is *very* busy chasing final issues with 8.10, and may not have time to help you find resources to help them.17:47
persiacsilk, Yeah : that's unmaintained code that was previously dropped.  Perhaps upstream could adjust to make an audacious plugin for the integration?17:48
BuissIt is ok.. I really thank  your patience persia, I am waiting for Intrepid..17:48
csilkpersia, the project owner is pretty set in his ways, I can't see him making that kind of madification just so his app will be in the ubuntu repo17:49
csilk*modification17:49
csilkpersia,  if that is deffinatly a barrier to entry I'll not bother submitting to revu, I'll just stick it in my ppa and link to it on the bug tarckers feature request explaining why it can't go in the repo. The people that wanted the app would still get it in the end17:50
csilkvia my ppa17:50
persiacsilk, It's not definitely a barrier : it's a negative point.  That said, it would take a code review to determine how much of the code is unmaintained.17:51
slytherinpersia: shouldn't you assign the bluetooth pairing bug to superm1?17:52
csilkpersia, as far as I can see it's only one c source file17:52
persiaslytherin, No.  I'm not him, I'm not his boss, and he hasn't asked me to assign him : therefore I won't assign him.17:52
slytherinpersia: The reason I asked is he has done recent uploads and the bug seems to be important from functionality point of view.17:53
persiaslytherin, Generally, unless one of those conditions apply, never assign a bug to someone : bug assignment is used to define work queues, and it's annoying to be assigned stuff that one won't do17:53
slytherinhmm, will keep that in mind.17:54
persiaslytherin, If you think "Medium" is incorrect, escalate it.  That he uploaded it recently doesn't commit him to fixing all the rest of the bugs, although if someone persistently uploads things that break things and doesn't chase them, the rest of us get annoyed.17:54
slytherinI haven't had time to check it so I won't comment on the importance.17:55

Adri2000strange that it crashes, because that page doesn't have anything special embedded such as flash or java18:45

persiaMind you, what I'd like is to finish the updates to MoM to use the ideas from DaD, and keep MoM *always* running, but that never seems to work.18:51
persiaMain reason being that the MoM backend seems to do a better job of pulling stuff than the snapshot.debian.net backend.18:51
Lutinpersia: MoM mirrors the debian archive, afaik18:52
RainCTpersia: I use Epiphany too and it doesn't crash here18:52
persiaRainCT, which arch?18:52
Adri2000persia: well, I recently signed some copyright assignement thing to allow the patches to be included in MoM, so hopefully that will happen soon, but it's on Keybuk's side18:52
persiaLutin, I think it pulls from a mirror of the archive, and keeps a full history or something, but yes.18:53
RainCTpersia: i38618:53
persiaRainCT, Yeah.  I think it's an amd64 issue.  amd64 seems not to be as good in intrepid as it has been for some previous releases.18:53

ironjust a question which knowledge is needed to be a kernel-hacker21:10
ironit is enough to be a bachelor of science or should i be a bachelor of engi.21:11
RainCTiron: Well, I have no idea about kernel hacking but I'd say you don't need any bachelor at all, but time and a desire to learn :)21:12
RainCTiron: and knowledge of C wouldn't do any bad neither. But best ask at #ubuntu-kernel or directly on some kernel place21:14
ironRainCT: right, but im studying  already therefore am asking. i have knowlegde of c . ok thx i will join #ubuntu-kernel21:16

kirklandwho can "accept" a minor upload for a universe package?21:22
ScottKkirkland: MOTU Release needs to approve it and then Ubuntu Release or and archive admin can actually accept it.21:23
ScottKkirkland: What's up?21:23
ScottKkirkland: musica?21:23
kirklandScottK: yeah, fixes a couple of minor work-out-of-the-box issues21:26
ScottKLooks fine.21:26
kirklandScottK: could live without it, but it sure would be nice to have, not on any install media, etc. etc.21:27
ScottKI've asked for it.21:28
kirklandScottK: awesome, thanks21:30
tbielawaCan anyone give some advice for things to consider if I was to start packaging something for jaunty? Or is it to early to consider that?22:22
RainCTtbielawa: you could check the needs-packaging bugs on LP, perhaps you like some of the applications suggested there22:31
=== csilk_ is now known as csilk
tbielawaRainCT, I mean to inquire into technical things to consider. New standards to package against, such as policy or compiler versions. If you can't think of any, then awesome :-)22:33
RainCTtbielawa: Oh, OK. Sorry. Well, no, just the usual stuff.. Check the wiki, there should be plenty of information22:34
tbielawaRainCT, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks22:35
ScottKpersia: It'd be nice if the Ubuntu Studio release delegate would make some kind of statement about your ubuntustudio-menu upload.22:41
persiaScottK, The release delegate currently has extremely limited access to the network, which is why I asked for someone from MOTU Release to ACK.  The release delegate will ACK as soon as next on the network.22:42
persia(unless someone else ACKs first).22:42
ScottKOK.22:42
persiaI'm sorry to have uploaded before getting the ACK.  That was a mistake.22:43
ScottKpersia: It doesn't particularly matter since Ubuntu Release isn't accepting stuff unless we tell them to.22:43
ScottKpersia: You're confident this is a good fix?22:43
persiaI tested it before/after and it fixed it for me.  I'd have to regenerate a CD image for a proper test, but would rather spend my CPU cycles running builds against the RCbugs list.22:44
persiaAlthough it's my debdiff and my upload, the author of the patch is the primary author of ubuntustudio-menus22:44
ScottKpersia: OK.  I'll go with that.22:46
persiaThanks.22:46

sistpotyhm... anyone knows how long we've got until final, final freeze (as in no more uploads)?23:40
ScottKsistpoty: Glad you're here.  I don't know, but you can ask slangasek in #ubuntu-release.  I'll be out this evening and so I think you're the duty dude for motu-release.23:42
slangasekMonday-ish23:42
sistpotyScottK: damn, wanted to go to bed in an hour or so23:42
sistpotyslangasek: ok, so up to sunday we can still make uploads? If so, maybe we should announce that date on u-d-a?23:43
slangasekannouncing Sunday?  that would be fine23:43
sistpotyok, I'll put up a draft and ask for a review then ;)23:43
ScottKsistpoty: IIRC Monday 0600 UTC was the cutoff for Hardy.23:44
* ScottK heads out.23:44
sistpotycya ScottK23:44
persiasistpoty, I was advised "Sunday" during the release meeting.23:44
ScottKAs long as it's still Sunday at slangasek's house, I think it's OK.23:45
slangasekI'm working London hours next week, so 0600 UTC isn't far off23:46

superm1thanks23:50

sistpoty(and feel free to quite this irc message *g*)23:55
persiasistpoty, quoting and subscribing the archive admins.  I'll upload if nobody pushes, but I don't like to upload things that could be syncs.23:55
persiaAnd thanks for the reminder.  I'll stuff debdiffs in them23:56
sistpotypersia: well, go ahead == do the right thing to get it in ;)23:56
