NCommanderHow long after a package enters dep-wait will it clear once its dependencies are available08:13
NCommanderhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/19414431/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-i386.alsa-plugins_1.0.18-1ubuntu1_MANUALDEPWAIT.txt.gz - this build log is extremely puzzling08:14
=== ziroday` is now known as ziroday
geserNCommander: why should it leave DEPWAIT?08:59
NCommandergeser, LP to my knowledge clears things that are actually dep-wait on its own08:59
NCommanderAm I wrong?08:59
NCommander(the status is MANUALDEPWAIT)09:00
geserthat's correct09:00
NCommandermaybe I'm not following you09:00
geserbut amd64-libs is not available09:00
geserperhaps I did get your question/your problem09:01
NCommanderoooh09:01
* NCommander only looked at amd64's depwait09:01
NCommanderd'oh09:01
NCommanderhrm09:02
NCommanderamd64-libs did exist09:02
NCommanderThen it vanished09:02
NCommanderStrange09:02
geserfor amd64 is easy: alsa-plugins (main) vs ia32-libs (universe)09:03
NCommanderia32-libs is not in main?09:03
NCommanderoh09:03
NCommanderOk09:03
geserlooks like the build-dependencies need an update for at least i386 and amd6409:03
NCommanderok09:03
* NCommander fails09:03
geseria32-libs is not in main according to LP: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs09:03
NCommanderYeah09:04
NCommanderI would have swore it was09:04
NCommanderOdd09:04
gesertill dapper is was in main09:04
NCommanderHow did lib32asound2-dev then get built09:04
NCommanderif ia32-libs is in universe09:04
geserwithout checking I guess with the needed lib32* libs09:05
geseror lib64 libs09:05
geseramd64-libs is on the sync-blacklist09:05
NCommanderia32 libs will not be installed out of the box09:05
NCommanderI mean they are physically not installed09:05
NCommanderIt might be saner to do a promotion of ia32-libs to main09:06
geserI mean the biarch packages like lib32asound209:06
geseror lib32z109:06
NCommanderOh I see09:06
geserI doubt the archive admins want it back in main09:07
NCommanderok09:07
NCommanderso alsa-plugins actually needs fixing09:07
NCommanderThe 32 bit fix is clear09:07
NCommanderI have no idea how to fix building the 64 varients09:07
NCommanderhrm09:08
geserthere are lib64* variants of some packages09:08
NCommanderok09:08
NCommanderI give09:08
NCommanderalsa-plugins is not depending on ia3209:08
NCommander*ia32-libs09:09
* NCommander begins working backwards09:09
NCommanderoh wait09:09
NCommandernm09:09
NCommanderfound it09:09
gesercheck which 32bit packages it needs on amd64 and if they exist in a lib32 version09:10
NCommandergeser, they are listed in the control file oddly enough09:10
NCommander(both are)09:11
NCommanderwhat was the bug number?09:11
geserbug number?09:11
NCommanderthere was a bug that pointed me to that build failure09:12
NCommanderI forgot I posted the log :-)09:12
* NCommander tweaks his build environment to build only in main/restricted09:14
NCommanderapachelogger, ping09:15

NCommanderENEEDCOREDEV09:30
persiaNCommander, Are you seeking advice or an upload?09:40
NCommanderpersia, the later09:41
* NCommander has created and built tested the fix patch in main-only pbuilder instances09:42
persiaNCommander, Just subscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors then.  Shouldn't be too long.09:42
NCommanderdid09:42
persiaAnd it's time critical because?09:42
NCommanderupgrading pulse audio uninstalls other packages, and removes the -desktop packages?09:44
persiaAnd you've marked the relevant bug critical?09:44
NCommanderHigh09:44
persiaI'd bump it, based on breaking the default installation for a majority of users.09:44
NCommanderI thought critical was only for violations, or serve risk of data/security lose and issues09:44
* persia checks09:45
* NCommander finds Ubuntu's priorities are at best a little loosely defined09:45
persiaCritical: A bug which has a severe impact on a large portion of Ubuntu users09:45
NCommanderWorks for me09:45
* NCommander bumps09:45
persiaSo it'll probably be one of the first things that any of the main sponsors hits.09:46
* NCommander did mark the urgency critical in the changelog so it will take relatively little time to build09:46
persiaThat said, the number of jaunty users currently is small, and all of them are expected to be able to deal with breakage of that sort, so a day or so won't hurt, really.09:46
persiaIn the changelog you'd be better off with "medium".  It sorts before others, but still lets someone push something truly critical (like a key toolchain bug or something) in front of it.09:47
NCommanderThe toolchain will go first anyway09:47
NCommanderthe kernel and the toolchain are scored so they are built a moment a builder is together09:47
NCommanderFrom the way I understand09:48
NCommanderfor packages without explicate build scores09:48
persiaWell, OK, but still.  Using "critical" means there's no flexibility.  "medium" would have the same relative effect, and leave flexibility.09:48
NCommanderSo I should kill the patch and reupload?09:49
wgrantDoes urgency actually matter in Ubuntu?09:49
NCommanderwgrant, it actually affects the build score09:49
NCommanderThe way I understand it, if a package isn't scored explicately (i.e., kernel, toolchain), it starts at 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 for main, restricted, universe, multiverse09:49
NCommander(I'd guess parther is 5000 if there is anything built from source there)09:50
NCommanderThen a number (its either 1 or 5 if I understand correctly) is added for each queued build09:50
NCommanderso if there are two queued packages for main, its 1005 and 1010 respectively09:50
persiawgrant, Only a very little, and only within an otherwise identical set.09:50
NCommanderUrgency bumps the build score by ten per level of urgency set09:51
* NCommander notes that might not be 100% correct09:55

cjwatsonNCommander: it's five per level of urgency set; doesn't make a whole lot of difference though since that's less than most other factors11:47
NCommandercjwatson, oh, I thought it was ten11:47
cjwatsonNCommander: for comparison five minutes in the queue gets you a credit of 5, 15 minutes gets you a credit of 10, 30 minutes a credit of 15 ... being in main vs. universe grants 1000 vs. 25011:48
cjwatsonetc.11:48
NCommanderAh11:48

ScottKNCommander: I know backports.org backports debhelper regularly with no issues.  Since it only affects building packages, not using them, I think it's worth considering.14:53
DeadPandahey, just wondering if DKMS would throw a fit if it replaced a module already in the kernel?  (I need a newer uvcvideo than that available in Intrepid for this laptop)15:14
superm1DeadPanda, as long as the kernel module isn't compiled as "part" of the kernel (eg not modular), it would be fine15:17

Pelomorning folks I think something is broken in the envyng packages,15:40
tseliotPelo: what exacty?15:41
Peloenvyng-gtk install , along iwth common, but when I run envyng-g it wants  me to install envyng-qt , which I do and then it seems to install a full kde , very unnessary , just tought I would let you know15:41
Pelonever did that in hardy15:41
tseliotPelo: the gtk ui wasn't ready therefore you will have to use either the qt ui or the textual ui15:42
Pelotseliot, understood , thanks15:42
superm1cjwatson, is there a particular reason that laptop-detect casper and lupin casper aren't just in the live task, but instead explicitly listed in livecd-rootfs?15:45
emgentheya17:43
jdongNCommander: backporting debhelper 7 is outside my scope of comfort, I think ScottK should answer your question :)18:09
ScottKjdong: Since -release can't build against -backports and debhelper is only relevant to the build process, I think it should be fine.18:10
ScottKdebhelper is one package where if it wasn't backwards compatible a huge amount of stuff would have blown up and we'd know it.18:10
=== dfiloni_ is now known as devfil
ScottKThere's an etch-backport of debhelper 7 if that's any comfort.18:11
jdongScottK: alright, that sounds safe to me then18:29
ScottKSafe in the scheme of backports safe, yes.18:30

Kopfgeldjaegerdo-release-upgrade stops when /var/lib/update-notifier/ doesnt exist (when update-notifier isnt installed..). but that's probably not that important because afaik you should install ubuntu-desktop before upgrading.(?)21:35

* soren notes that the trigger related stuff is missing from Debian/Ubuntu Policy.. How odd.22:15
liwis it a policy issue?22:16

sorenErr...22:17
=== Knightlust is now known as Igorot
sorenThe policy lists all the ways in which maintainer scripts can be called except the trigger related ones.22:17
sorenChapter 6.22:17
liwoh, I didn't know triggers involve calling maintainer scripts in special ways22:17
sorenHow would you? It doesn't say in the debian policy :)22:18
ion_Documentation often lags behind code. :-)22:22
liwhttp://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2007/04/msg00076.html -- right, that does specify that the postinst takes care of triggers22:24
liwsoren, you should perhaps file a bug against the debian-policy package in the Debian bug tracking system22:24
sorenYes, I should.22:25
