| NCommander | Man, Freenode been glitchy | 03:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottK | You say that like it's news. | 03:01 |
| NCommander | ScottK, I remember freenode when it was steady as a rock | 03:05 |
| ScottK | NCommander: Do you have some time to try and verify a security patch for me (It's C, so I'm hopeless)? | 03:06 |
| jdong | NCommander: yeah yeah and you walked in 15 feet of snow uphill and downhill everyday to school in the next city.... | 03:06 |
| ScottK | jdong: You got it wrong, "Up hill both ways". | 03:07 |
| NCommander | jdong, no, I took a bus | 03:07 |
| NCommander | ScottK, define verify | 03:07 |
| jdong | NCommander: verify (v. trans. InfoSec): "Yeah, I think most of ~/ is still there AFAICT..." | 03:07 |
| jdong | *ducks* | 03:07 |
| ScottK | NCommander: Upstream produced a new upstream release that has both a working exploit test and a very invasive fix. | 03:07 |
| NCommander | Ok | 03:08 |
| ScottK | NCommander: Upstream gave a hint on how to shortcut avoiding the problem in a less invasive way | 03:08 |
| ScottK | NCommander: Debian maintainer has produced a patch that he thinks is good, but upstream doesn't have time to deal with confirming it works. | 03:08 |
| ScottK | I'm looking for some independent verification. | 03:09 |
| NCommander | So, why not install package, run verification test? | 03:09 |
| ScottK | You've looked at the code before so I thought of you. | 03:09 |
| ScottK | I'd have to understand Perl to run the test. | 03:09 |
| ScottK | That and I'm currently busy trying to understand why cmake seems broken in Jaunty. | 03:10 |
| ScottK | I guess that's a no then. | 03:18 |
| ScottK | Tries again. | 03:18 |
| ScottK | I guess that's a no then. | 03:18 |
| NCommander | ScottK, sorry, my laptop froze | 03:20 |
| NCommander | ScottK, sure, I can be convinced to test it | 03:20 |
| ScottK | OK. I'll email you some stuff. You'll want libspf2 from Jaunty and Hardy. What address. | 03:20 |
| ScottK | NCommander: ^^ | 03:22 |
| NCommander | sonicmctails@gmail.com | 03:23 |
| ScottK | NCommander: Forwarded you the upstream hint and the proposed patch. | 03:24 |
| NCommander | is the patch in jaunty or the new upstream? | 03:24 |
| === deejoe is now known as spudnoggin | ||
| ScottK | The patch is against 1.2.5 (in Dapper -> Hardy). | 03:25 |
| ScottK | The new upstream is in Jaunty/Intrepid-security. | 03:25 |
| === spudnoggin is now known as deejoe | ||
| ScottK | The test is in the new upstream. | 03:25 |
| * NCommander grabs the jaunty source package | 03:25 | |
| ScottK | If the package is vulnerable, the test will cause a segfault. | 03:26 |
| ScottK | NCommander: Be sure to grab the -security version. | 03:26 |
| NCommander | ScottK, libspf2-2: Depends: glibc-private but it is not installable | 03:26 |
| ScottK | That adds the patch that made it possible to get to this problem (fix one vulnerability and expose another latent one |o/) | 03:26 |
| NCommander | *ahem* | 03:26 |
| ScottK | ? | 03:27 |
| NCommander | Trying to install on jaunty | 03:27 |
| NCommander | Package is broken | 03:27 |
| ScottK | Weird. Installs on Intrepid. | 03:28 |
| ScottK | Same package. | 03:28 |
| NCommander | :-P | 03:28 |
| NCommander | Yeah | 03:28 |
| NCommander | its broken on jaunty | 03:28 |
| ScottK | OK. Separate issue. I'll look at that. | 03:28 |
| NCommander | ok, I figured out how to run the test suite against various versions of the package :-) | 03:29 |
| ScottK | Great. | 03:29 |
| NCommander | I'll test the jaunty package (assuming it compiles) | 03:29 |
| ScottK | Try the hardy-security version against it and see. | 03:29 |
| NCommander | I need to have a known working negetive | 03:30 |
| ScottK | Right. | 03:30 |
| NCommander | argh | 03:30 |
| NCommander | damn it | 03:30 |
| NCommander | I actually have to install the library | 03:30 |
| * NCommander breaks pbuilder out | 03:30 | |
| NCommander | argh | 03:31 |
| NCommander | the test suite needs a non-packaged perl module it seems | 03:31 |
| ScottK | Upstream runs Gentoo, so who knows. | 03:34 |
| * NCommander whacks head | 03:34 | |
| NCommander | bah | 03:34 |
| NCommander | Getting this test suite to run is a **** | 03:34 |
| * NCommander upgrades perl base | 03:35 | |
| NCommander | ok | 03:35 |
| NCommander | confirmed that the version in jaunty does not suffer the buffer overflow | 03:35 |
| NCommander | argh | 03:38 |
| NCommander | t/11_overflows.......dubious | 03:40 |
| NCommander | Test returned status 0 (wstat 11, 0xb) | 03:40 |
| NCommander | DIED. FAILED tests 3-5 | 03:40 |
| NCommander | Failed 3/5 tests, 40.00% okay | 03:40 |
| NCommander | ScottK, ^ | 03:41 |
| NCommander | (that being said, the test suite might be a false postive, I had to kick it to actually compile ) | 03:41 |
| ScottK | That's Jaunty? | 03:41 |
| NCommander | Hardy security | 03:41 |
| ScottK | OK. I'm fairly certain that one isn't vulnerable. More than one person who knows the code verified that. | 03:42 |
| ScottK | Ah. Hardy Security. Sorry | 03:42 |
| NCommander | yeah | 03:42 |
| NCommander | it segfaulted | 03:42 |
| ScottK | I'd expect Hardy Security to fail. | 03:43 |
| ScottK | That's the indication it's vulnerable. | 03:43 |
| NCommander | it got through 2/3 tests however | 03:43 |
| ScottK | The patch in Hardy security I think is tested for in that same test. | 03:44 |
| NCommander | root@blacksteel:~/libspf2-1.2.5.dfsg/perl# perl t/11_overflows.t | 03:45 |
| NCommander | 1..5 | 03:45 |
| NCommander | ok 1 - use Mail::SPF_XS; | 03:45 |
| NCommander | ok 2 - parse_cidr did not run off start of data | 03:45 |
| NCommander | Segmentation fault | 03:45 |
| ScottK | I think that's right. I suspect the one in hardy-release would fail 2 | 03:46 |
| NCommander | so now what? | 03:48 |
| NCommander | libspf has two rdepends | 03:48 |
| NCommander | It might just be worth doing a backport | 03:48 |
| ScottK | So the question is does the patch I emailed you fix it? | 03:50 |
| NCommander | oh | 03:50 |
| NCommander | I thought the patch was applied already | 03:50 |
| ScottK | No. | 03:52 |
| ScottK | I emailed you patch #2 that hopefully finishes fixing it. | 03:52 |
| NCommander | Lets find out | 03:52 |
| NCommander | t/11_overflows.......ok | 03:53 |

| ScottK | OK. | 03:58 |
| ScottK | NCommander: Thanks. I'll work on -security debdiffs then. | 03:58 |
| NCommander | \o/ | 03:58 |
| ScottK | NCommander: Any thoughts on where glibc-private in Jaunty comes from? | 03:58 |
| NCommander | no idea | 03:59 |
| NCommander | it might just need a binary rebuild | 03:59 |
| ScottK | Tried that. No luck. | 03:59 |
| ScottK | It picks that up from somewhere. | 03:59 |
| NCommander | apt-cache doesn't know what it is | 04:01 |
| ScottK | It doesn't exist. | 04:01 |
| NCommander | its in none of the shlibs files I have | 04:01 |
| * NCommander pokes LP | 04:03 | |
| NCommander | ScottK, I'm semi-stumped | 04:18 |
| ScottK | NCommander: I dunno the relevancy, but glibc in Intrepid defines a large number of symbols in GLIBC_PRIVATE that seem to be gone in Jaunty. | 04:18 |
| NCommander | bug in glibc? | 04:18 |
| * NCommander debates downgrading to intrepid | 04:19 | |
| ScottK | NCommander: I was thinking more planned change we need to figure out how to work with. | 04:20 |

| wgrant | NCommander: Not by default, I hope. | 07:05 |
| NCommander | wgrant, ? | 07:06 |
| wgrant | NCommander: It was, I believe, decided that yet another mode change wasn't necessary. | 07:07 |
| pitti | Good morning | 07:07 |
| NCommander | wgrant, mode change? | 07:07 |
| * NCommander notes our current grub does properly support splashimages, and those work just fine | 07:07 | |
| wgrant | NCommander: Splash image == graphical mode == mode switch == flickering == baaad | 07:08 |
| wgrant | Morning pitti. | 07:08 |

| NCommander | pitti, | 07:08 |
| wgrant | Flickering and slowness and other stuff, probably. | 07:08 |
| pitti | wgrant: pong | 07:08 |
| wgrant | It's not accidental that we lack a splash image, at any rate. | 07:08 |
| wgrant | pitti: See bug #293318/ | 07:08 |

| NCommander | They did? | 07:09 |
| tjaalton | for the same reason | 07:09 |
| * NCommander notes Debian still has one | 07:09 | |
| pitti | wgrant: I got the bug mail, yes | 07:09 |
| NCommander | wgrant, I can find that leak | 07:09 |

| NCommander | Brainstorm #21, and my mom freaked when she saw it when I installed Ubuntu on her PC | 07:11 |
| wgrant | Surely it's no more scary than watching a POST. | 07:12 |
| NCommander | At least no computer I've owned in a few years shows a text based PoST | 07:12 |
| NCommander | ... PSOT | 07:12 |
| NCommander | ... POST! | 07:12 |
| NCommander | on mine, I get Sony VIAO -> grub -> usplash | 07:12 |
| tjaalton | just get rid of windows and you're saved | 07:12 |

| tjaalton | no grub menu anymore | 07:13 |

| tjaalton | NCommander: oh, yet another "idea" I can close?-) | 07:14 |
| NCommander | tjaalton, if you must ;-) | 07:15 |
| tjaalton | ah, fedora didn't actually remove the splash, but it's not shown unless the menu is | 07:19 |
| * NCommander notes thats how itlled is on Ubuntu as well if a splash is insta | 07:21 | |
| pitti | wgrant: did you sent the two g-s-d input patches upstream? There aren't any patch headers or gnome bz refs | 07:22 |
| wgrant | pitti: The upstream-relevant parts are upstream. | 07:22 |
| pitti | wgrant: ah, nice; thanks | 07:22 |
| wgrant | I didn't add patch headers because the patches were already there. | 07:22 |
| pitti | wgrant: I added the bug ref for 293318 to the changelog; does 08_extra_touchpad_options.patch correspond to a bug report, too? | 07:24 |
| wgrant | pitti: They're both for that bug, though 08_extra_touchpad_options.patch is more of an additional defense. | 07:25 |
| pitti | ok, thanks! | 07:25 |
| wgrant | No, thank you. | 07:26 |
| wgrant | tjaalton: Are any other distros going to be sharing our pain in the immediate future? | 07:26 |
| pitti | fedora isn't yet? | 07:26 |
| pitti | wgrant: I assume "pain" == "input hotplug"? :-) | 07:27 |
| wgrant | pitti: Input hotplug for everything, yes. | 07:27 |

| tjaalton | at least | 07:31 |
| tjaalton | and when lenny is released I bet debian will follow | 07:31 |
| wgrant | tjaalton: Hmm, I wonder how they dealt with g-s-d... | 07:31 |
| wgrant | From what I could see they hadn't. | 07:32 |
| pitti | wgrant: nothing on http://daniel.holba.ch/harvest/handler.py?pkg=gnome-settings-daemon ? | 07:32 |
| tjaalton | wgrant: what in particular? | 07:33 |
| wgrant | pitti: No... | 07:34 |
| wgrant | tjaalton: Mouse settings (most annoyingly right/left-handedness) don't persist when you hotplug devices. | 07:34 |
| wgrant | Some keyboard stuff doesn't work at all, but that's another less important story. | 07:34 |

| Hobbsee | NCommander: http://debaday.debian.net/2007/09/12/listadmin-command-line-mailman-moderator-queue-manipulation/ | 10:07 |
| NCommander | Probably | 10:07 |
| * NCommander would whitelist developers of course | 10:07 | |
| Hobbsee | NCommander: if you do, you can't use the launchpad lists, you'll need to get a list on lists.ubuntu.com (and I think you'll need to speak to jcastro about it) | 10:07 |
| NCommander | jcastro, ^ | 10:08 |
| Heller_Barde | what program is this volume OSD of ubuntu part of? | 10:08 |
| liw | it's probably night for jcastro | 10:08 |
| wgrant | Heller_Barde: gnome-settings-daemon, I believe. | 10:09 |
| Heller_Barde | ah. and where can i find out how the shortcut is bound to it? | 10:09 |
| wgrant | Heller_Barde: What do you mean? | 10:10 |
| Heller_Barde | or does gnome-settings-daemon capture shortcuts itself? | 10:10 |
| wgrant | It does. | 10:10 |
| Heller_Barde | ah | 10:10 |
| Heller_Barde | i don't use gnome and actually dont want to but nothing else is able to look appropriately aesthetic :( | 10:10 |
| Heller_Barde | oh well | 10:11 |
| hyperair | bah the two-stage rsync mirroring script from ubuntu is useless on slow internet connections | 10:12 |
| hyperair | rsync the debs first, then the indexes. sounds like the perfect idea. but then it takes so goddamn long to rsync the debs that the indexes have updated by then =.= | 10:13 |
| wgrant | hyperair: You're not meant to mirror the archive on dialup. | 10:13 |
| hyperair | wgrant: i'm not on dialup damnit | 10:13 |
| hyperair | wgrant: this is a university connection | 10:14 |
| mvo | pitti: I looked into #220890 and AFAICT the remaining issue is that source code is not recognized as "offical" on powerpc but binary deb lines are. so it should be ok for -update (and I will push another one afterwards that fixes the source lines) | 10:18 |
| pitti | mvo: ok, thank you | 10:31 |
| sebner | pitti: is your list for coping stuff from -proposed to -updated already empty (for intrepid)? | 10:32 |
| pitti | sebner: yes; see http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html | 10:32 |
| sebner | pitti: intrepid has 2 packages with 7 days ;D | 10:33 |
| pitti | sebner: but not verified one | 10:33 |
| pitti | s | 10:33 |
| sebner | pitti: what has to happen to make it verified? | 10:34 |
| pitti | sebner: test that the package in -proposed still works as usual, and that it fixes the bug, and give written confirmation of that in the bug | 10:34 |
| sebner | pitti: my package (audacious) has over 5 users can confirm that the update in -proposed fixes the issue ;) | 10:35 |
| pitti | sebner: ah, then nobody from motu-sru set the verification-done tag apparently; please do so then | 10:35 |
| sebner | pitti: done | 10:37 |
| pitti | thanks | 10:37 |
| sebner | pitti: np, thank you your copying then :D | 10:37 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, hi | 10:40 |
| tkamppeter | what is missing to get the CUPS SRU released? | 10:41 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: testing and being 7 days in -proposed | 10:41 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, did not know that there is a "minimum 7 days" condition. All bugs related to pstopdf are answered and the answers suggest that the problems which I have addressed with pstopdf are really solved. | 10:49 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: right, except for the 'prints garbage on samsung' for splix | 10:49 |
| pitti | but we can keep that open and still move to -updates | 10:49 |
| * ogra grumbles at asac ... my mobile phone is suddenly not detected as USB HDD anymore ... grrr | 10:50 | |
| * mvo thinks that asac probably sneaked int ogra house just to play that trick on him | 10:51 | |
| * ogra tries to get the pictures off the camera with bluetooth instead | 10:51 | |
| ogra | mvo, he doesnt go that far south for playing tricks i bet :) | 10:52 |
| liw | ogra, perhaps he has agents everywhere? | 10:52 |
| ogra | haha | 10:52 |
| liw | he is, after all, a manager ;) | 10:52 |
| mvo | ogra: you never know, he is on vac, maybe that is part of his vacationfun ;) | 10:53 |
| * mvo stops being silly | 10:53 | |
| tkamppeter | pitti, and the AppArmor thingy with the network protocols I can confirm. The problem appears (I have 6 network printers) on the machine where I did not update to -proposed and does not appear with the -proposed package. | 10:53 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: can you please say so in the bug, for having a written track of testing? | 10:54 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, done. | 10:56 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, the garbarge printing which you observer with SpliX now is most probably a problem of SpliX itself. Therefore I need you to do tests with the LSB packages from OpenPrinting. The test on 2.0.0rc2 can reveal whether there is perhaps a bug in the Ubuntu packaging. The test of the 1.1.1 version can show whether the 2.x generation of SpliX introduced a new bug. | 11:02 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: ah, ok; I'll do that | 11:02 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have modified the OpenPrinting packaging last week so that these drivers can coexist with the ones coming from the distros. | 11:03 |
| tkamppeter | So you do not need to uninstall any package. | 11:03 |
| wgrant | mvo: Does do-release-upgrade do the xorg.conf inputdevice mangling too? | 11:20 |
| ogra | wgrant, what mangling ? | 11:21 |
| wgrant | ogra: We comment out inputdevices on upgrades to let input-hotplug work its magic. | 11:22 |
| ogra | xorg will ignore keyboard and mose settings from the file if not forced | 11:22 |
| wgrant | No it won't... | 11:22 |
| ogra | thats inside xorg afaik | 11:22 |
| wgrant | Really new xservers will ignore kbd and mouse entries, as evdev needs to grab them. | 11:22 |
| ogra | there was a setting i dont remember you have to add to the xorg.conf to make it use these entries | 11:23 |
| wgrant | AutoAddDevices, yes. | 11:23 |
| ogra | right | 11:23 |
| wgrant | But that's not what I'm talking about here. | 11:23 |
| ogra | else it will use evdev by default | 11:23 |
| ogra | and ignore the xorg.conf entries for keyboard and mouse | 11:23 |
| wgrant | I know, but this is somewhat separate. | 11:24 |
| ogra | for other input devices it depends on the driever ... | 11:24 |
| ogra | i.e. wacom will only use hal if yu copy the .fdi in place, else xorg.conf should be used | 11:25 |
| wgrant | And lots of them will break horribly, which is why we now comment them out on upgrades. | 11:25 |
| ogra | really? | 11:25 |
| * ogra wasnt aware we touch xorg.conf at all | 11:25 | |
| wgrant | As of late Intrepid we do. | 11:25 |
| ogra | hmm | 11:26 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have investigated bug 293883 now and it is an evince bug, so it does not block the SRU release of CUPS. pstopdf was not the culprit there. | 11:31 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 293883 in evince "8.10 Printed PDF missing parts / corrupt" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/293883 | 11:31 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: we tried it before and it broke some people's hardware, so I'm not all that interested in trying it again TBH | 11:38 |
| NCommander | Works for me | 11:39 |

| hyperair | late intrepid touches xorg.conf? | 11:42 |
| wgrant | hyperair: Since late in the Intrepid release cycle, the dist-upgrader touches xorg.conf. | 11:42 |
| hyperair | oh | 11:42 |
| hyperair | what does it do | 11:42 |
| wgrant | Comments out inputdevices. | 11:43 |
| pitti | slangasek: I ported your hal patch 99_new-kernel-rfkill-interface.patch as best as I could to new hal upstream; but since I don't get any observable lshal change when flipping the killswitch either with your old nor with my ported patch, I can't really test it; can you? | 12:00 |
| slangasek | pitti: I guess that's for jaunty? I'm afraid I can't test that very easily; but the main point would be whether NM detects the status change, I guess? | 12:04 |
| pitti | slangasek: yes, for jaunty | 12:05 |
| pitti | slangasek: well, NM doesn't do anything if I change the killswitch | 12:05 |
| slangasek | hmm | 12:05 |
| slangasek | not with either version? | 12:05 |
| pitti | but didn't do that in intrepid either | 12:05 |
| pitti | that's why I can't test the ported patch | 12:05 |
| slangasek | hrm | 12:05 |
| StevenK | slangasek: Bit early, isn't it? | 12:05 |
| slangasek | pitti: this is on a system with Intel wireless? | 12:05 |
| slangasek | StevenK: ? | 12:05 |
| StevenK | slangasek: It's 4am in LA | 12:06 |
| pitti | slangasek: yes, iwl3945 with dell killswitch | 12:06 |
| slangasek | pitti: do you have /sys/class/net/$dev/device/rfkill? | 12:06 |
| slangasek | StevenK: yep, right in the middle of my Monday shift | 12:06 |
| slangasek | pitti: (you're running the Intrepid kernel, right?) | 12:07 |
| pitti | slangasek: intrepid kernel> yes | 12:08 |
| pitti | slangasek: /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rfkill/rfkill0/state | 12:08 |
| pitti | slangasek: I can put the new consolekit and hal into my intrepid PPA, if that would help you | 12:09 |
| slangasek | pitti: that would be better | 12:09 |
| slangasek | I'm still puzzled that it doesn't work for you, though | 12:09 |
| slangasek | for me, the nm-applet icon reflects the state change within a few seconds | 12:09 |
| pitti | well, the killswitch itself works | 12:10 |
| pitti | in the sense of that it blocks wifi | 12:10 |
| pitti | but NM doesn't react to that | 12:10 |
| slangasek | hmm | 12:11 |
| slangasek | then I guess my patch is screwed up somehow, even though IWFM :/ | 12:11 |
| pitti | slangasek: someone else on the upstream bug confirmed that it works | 12:11 |
| pitti | seems hw specific | 12:11 |
| slangasek | yeah, I saw | 12:11 |
| slangasek | but I don't understand /why/ i would be hw-specific | 12:12 |
| pitti | slangasek: if you change the killswitch, do you see something in lshal flip state? | 12:14 |
| pitti | slangasek: both uploaded and building now | 12:21 |
| slangasek | pitti: lshal changes> no; though apparently if I'm lucky, I can hard-lock my laptop in the process | 12:23 |
| slangasek | pitti: but I guess calling 'hal-ystem-killswitch-get-power' directly should show the output? | 12:24 |
| slangasek | +s | 12:24 |
| pitti | w$ sudo ./hal-system-killswitch-get-power | 12:25 |

| ogra | no idea, i just pluged it in for the first time after an aeon | 13:02 |
| ogra | i dont think i even tried it in intrepid at all before | 13:02 |

| asac | (on the phone) | 13:03 |

| mvo | cjwatson: do you happen to know if we use the wget udeb still these days? it got added by fabio in the feisty days and I was wondering if we should keep this change around or not | 13:10 |
| cjwatson | mvo: I think Fabio might have wanted it for system-integrity-check maybe? nothing in d-i itself uses it | 13:15 |
| mvo | cjwatson: yes, that looks right | 13:17 |
| mvo | thanks! | 13:17 |
| cjwatson | mvo: that said, I don't see anything in system-integrity-check that relies on it | 13:17 |
| cjwatson | oh, no, Depends: wget-udeb. WTF | 13:17 |
| cjwatson | fabbione: why was busybox's wget not good enough? | 13:18 |
| cjwatson | fabbione: it doesn't seem as if system-integrity-check uses any features not in busybox's wget | 13:18 |

| pitti | StevenK: what's the rationale for your pilot-link patch 30_3_arg_open.dpatch? no patch headers, no bug refs, no rationale in changelog :( | 13:40 |
| fabbione | cjwatson: at the time, it was not good for https. We started doing all the stuff to https and the whole thing was stalled on lack of time | 13:41 |
| cjwatson | oh, right | 13:41 |
| pitti | StevenK: oh, nevermind, got it | 13:41 |
| cjwatson | mvo: ^- above is still the case | 13:42 |
| fabbione | cjwatson: not sure if wget in busybox does https now.. nor if ubuntu cares about s-i-c. I gave it to the server team a while ago.. no idea if they have done anything about it | 13:42 |
| cjwatson | I don't think anyone cares very much about s-i-c any more, but wget doesn't do https and that seems like a valid use case | 13:43 |
| cjwatson | busybox wget that is | 13:43 |
| fabbione | cjwatson: ok. I personally don't think i care nor i have time to do s-i-c. Might worth discussing it again with the server team and free resources at the datacenter since there is a server side for it | 13:44 |
| pitti | StevenK: did you send it to an upstream ML? I don't find an upstream bug tracker | 13:44 |
| fabbione | cjwatson: the code is still in bzr somewhere public I believe. anyway the last releae in the archive had everything that was in bzr anyway | 13:44 |
| mvo | cjwatson, fabbione: right, thanks | 13:52 |
| fabbione | mvo: no worries :) | 14:02 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: still trying to figure this udev bzr packaging case out | 14:04 |
| Keybuk | hit another problem; the udev git repository doesn't contain (as you'd expect) configure, Makefile.in, etc. | 14:04 |
| Keybuk | which means merging with "bzr pull" isn't going to produce something like the orig.tar.gz | 14:04 |
| Keybuk | the diff.gz will always end up with autoconf changes | 14:05 |
| Mithrandir | not if you nuke them in the clean target | 14:06 |
| Mithrandir | (and build-depend on auto*) | 14:06 |
| pitti | Keybuk: what's wrong with having autogenerated autofoo stuff in the diff.gz? | 14:08 |
| pitti | it might not be nice, but well, it's just noise | 14:08 |
| Keybuk | pitti: well, fwics, I have two options | 14:09 |
| Keybuk | clean bzr packaging, based off a git import, with merges and changes done with bzr nicely - but messy resultant traditional source package | 14:09 |
| Keybuk | or a clean source package, created by lots of by-hand heavy lifting with bzr/git | 14:09 |
| Keybuk | also wouldn't it break colin's "what you checkout from bzr must be buildable" requirement? | 14:10 |
| pitti | james_w: do you care about backuppc? You did the last merge, but it's currently on my plate since I did a last-minute dependency fix | 14:11 |
| pitti | Keybuk: can't speak for others, but for e. g. jockey I don't care about messy diff.gz if the ubuntu package is a direct branch of upstream trunk | 14:11 |
| james_w | pitti: I did the last merge as it was DIF and unmerged I believe. | 14:12 |
| james_w | pitti: I don't mind merging again if you want it off your plate | 14:12 |
| Keybuk | pitti: but then debcheckout doesn't give you anything buildable? | 14:12 |
| pitti | Keybuk: since you aren't going to use patch systems or MoM for those, messy diff doesn't really hurt IMHO | 14:12 |
| pitti | Keybuk: it should be buildable, of course | 14:12 |
| pitti | Keybuk: debian/rules could just call autogen.sh? | 14:12 |
| Keybuk | how do you make it buildable? | 14:12 |
| Keybuk | but then the package has to depend on auto* | 14:12 |
| pitti | lots of packages do | 14:13 |
| Keybuk | please nuke autogen.sh ;) | 14:13 |
| pitti | (yes, I repeatedly argued against it in the past, for packages which update autofoo on build) | 14:13 |
| cjwatson | Keybuk: james_w may have technology to generate the tarball branch (i.e. git + configure/etc.) automatically | 14:13 |
| pitti | Keybuk: or autoreconf -v, or whatever :) | 14:13 |
| james_w | lies! | 14:13 |
| cjwatson | autogen.sh> still useful when you're doing things that autoreconf doesn't do :P | 14:14 |
| pitti | james_w: ok, nevermind then; I just wondered if you were actually using it and could test it or so, but seems not :) | 14:14 |
| james_w | though it might be possible thinking about it | 14:14 |
| Keybuk | it'd have to be a Build-Depend-Indep on auto*, right? | 14:15 |
| cjwatson | james_w: the only hard bit is identifying the revision from which the tarball was produced; after that you just unpack and blat the changes into the archive | 14:15 |
| Keybuk | or is it only build-depends? | 14:15 |
| cjwatson | Build-Depends is stronger than Build-Depends-Indep in practice | 14:15 |
| cjwatson | policy is extremely confusing on this | 14:15 |
| Keybuk | yeah, I've never really understood it | 14:15 |
| Keybuk | at one point I thought -Indep was for "things needed to make the source package" | 14:16 |
| Keybuk | but it appears policy disagrees on that now | 14:16 |
| cjwatson | basically I only use Build-Depends-Indep if either (a) I have an explicit build-indep rule and the dependency is only used there and/or (b) it's only used in binary-indep | 14:16 |
| cjwatson | I don't think policy ever said anything like that | 14:16 |
| pitti | Keybuk: the way I understood it, you don't need -indep when building with -B | 14:16 |
| pitti | such as the !i386 buildds | 14:16 |
| NCommander | I was under the impression that Build-Dep-Indep is anything the independent build-deps needed explicately | 14:16 |
| Keybuk | cjwatson: it's entirely likely it didn't ;) | 14:16 |
| cjwatson | oh, it might have had confusing language about clean at some point | 14:16 |
| Keybuk | thought of the day: we should have an autoreconf meta package :p | 14:16 |
| * pitti generally just ignores B-D-I, too confusing to think about | 14:17 | |
| cjwatson | yeah, that's usually the right answer | 14:17 |
| cjwatson | there are a small number of cases where it is important and/or useful | 14:18 |
| pitti | that the !i386 buildds use -B is really just an implementation detail packagers shouldn't really care about, FWIW | 14:18 |
| pitti | cjwatson: oh? so there's more to it than just buildds? | 14:18 |
| cjwatson | pitti: no, I didn't say that :) | 14:19 |
| cjwatson | pitti: I just meant that it is usually reasonable to default to sticking everything in B-D, and only think about B-D-I if you find you need to | 14:19 |
| pitti | ah, right | 14:19 |
| siretart | a common case is running doxygen to create an libfoo-doc package. doxygen can go to B-D-I then | 14:20 |
| ScottK | I'm looking at a package that has gone uninstallable in Jaunty because it believes it needs to depend on a non-existant package called glibc-private. Rebuilding produces the same result. Package builds and produces an installable binary on Intrepid. Any suggestions about where to look? | 14:20 |
| pitti | ScottK: sounds like a bad .shlibs file? | 14:21 |
| siretart | ScottK: bad shlib.local file in the package? | 14:21 |
| pitti | ScottK: if local build does the same, grep /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.shlibs for glibc-private? | 14:21 |
| cjwatson | ScottK: that means that the package is relying on private glibc symbols and it shouldn't be | 14:21 |
| cjwatson | ScottK: it's basically glibc arranging for the package to blow up | 14:21 |
| pitti | oh, magic | 14:21 |
| siretart | sweet | 14:21 |
| ScottK | Argh. OK. Thanks for the hints. | 14:21 |
| ScottK | Yes. Does the same thing on local builds, so I'll look. | 14:22 |

| ubottu | Debian bug 462444 in glibc "glibc: Please add symbols files for libc6" [Wishlist,Closed] | 14:22 |
| ScottK | Thanks. | 14:22 |
| cjwatson | I think you can pass -xglibc-private to dpkg-shlibdeps to skip it if you know what you're doing | 14:23 |
| cjwatson | but it's probably worth investigating first | 14:23 |

| Mithrandir | siretart: I didn't, no. :-/ | 14:40 |
| pwnguin | It does reflect somewhat my own frustration with the status quo, but I'm not about to write angry letters over it | 14:41 |
| hyperair | what pkg-config issue? | 14:41 |
| Keybuk | ogra: ;) | 14:42 |

| ubottu | Debian bug 504220 in libavcodec-dev, "Missing dependencies" [Grave,Open] | 14:43 |
| Keybuk | not really, you tend to touch things in universe more than main | 14:43 |
| ogra | but i'll pick up leftovers | 14:43 |
| Keybuk | and universe has a high "fix after freeze" ratio | 14:44 |
| hyperair | hm ubottu handles debian bugs too? | 14:44 |
| hyperair | i never knew | 14:44 |
| ogra | yeah, since i'm in mobile i touch a lot of universe | 14:44 |
| Mithrandir | siretart: you need to depend on the -dev packages. | 14:46 |
| siretart | Mithrandir: but isn't that insane? why do depending packages need to care about whether libavcodec-dev links against libtheora or not? | 14:47 |
| Mithrandir | siretart: if it is in "Requires.private", then it not only links with it, but also needs the headers from it. | 14:48 |
| Mithrandir | like gtk exposes glib types in its headers. | 14:48 |
| siretart | Mithrandir: libavcodec does not TTBOMK expose any libtheora internals | 14:48 |
| Mithrandir | if it just links with it without exposing any of libtheora's types, using libs.private should be fine. | 14:48 |
| siretart | okay. is there any documentation or any document I could point upstream at to get that fixed? | 14:49 |
| Mithrandir | once I get around to writing it. :-/ | 14:49 |

| cjwatson | cprov: I can't think of any reason why we wouldn't want to open a distroseries for PPAs at the same time as we open it for regular uploads. Do you know why it is done separately? | 15:10 |
| cprov | cjwatson: those decisions are still orthogonal in the DB. We open a new distroseries by change its status from frozen to development | 15:12 |
| cprov | cjwatson: PPA archs are enabled per distroarchseries base. | 15:12 |
| cjwatson | cprov: OK, I'll edit our NewReleaseCycleProcess to say we need to notify you to enable PPAs | 15:13 |

| mvo | kirkland: hello! how often is update-motd run ? | 16:31 |
| === deejoe is now known as everyone_else | ||
| kirkland | mvo: every 10 minutes; i'm putting a delayer in the script i'm working on to ensure that the update-notifier bit wouldn't run more frequently than once per hour | 16:31 |
| === everyone_else is now known as deejoe | ||
| mvo | kirkland: the update-notifier bit is to pick up notification from user.d/ ? | 16:32 |
| kirkland | mvo: actually, i meant: /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check | 16:33 |
| kirkland | mvo: i propose something like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/70058/ | 16:33 |
| kirkland | mvo: call it "notify-updates-available" | 16:33 |
| mvo | kirkland: aha, ok - I'm adding support for new release upgrade notification into update-manager-core right now (just fyi) - and it should ideally be only once a day | 16:33 |
| kirkland | mvo: similar to "notify-reboot-required" | 16:34 |
| kirkland | mvo: cool, what i'd really like is just a number dumped into /var/run/updates-available | 16:34 |
| kirkland | mvo: also, i find it really, really odd that /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check puts the number of updates available on STDERR ... why's that? | 16:35 |
| mvo | kirkland: would it make sense to have a /etc/update-motd.d{.daily/,.hourly, etc} ? | 16:35 |
| kirkland | mvo: yes, i'm working on that, as update-motd's upstream | 16:35 |
| kirkland | mvo: i intend to do that very soon | 16:35 |
| mvo | kirkland: its a workaround because sometimes other stuff gets spit onto stdout | 16:35 |
| kirkland | mvo: oh | 16:35 |
| kirkland | mvo: it gave me a few fits :-) | 16:36 |
| kirkland | mvo: i got around it | 16:36 |
| mvo | kirkland: would it make sense to just modify apt-check so that it has a "--for-update-motd" (or something like that) so that it prints out exactly what you need? | 16:36 |
| mvo | kirkland: update-notifier has a lot of UI dependencies, so changes to update-notifier are required I assume? | 16:37 |
| kirkland | mvo: right, i'd need something in update-notifier-common | 16:37 |
| kirkland | mvo: can't really bring all those UI deps into ubuntu-server | 16:37 |
| kirkland | mvo: what cronjob currently drives apt-check? | 16:38 |
| mvo | kirkland: indeed :) so if we need to do that anyway, I wonder if we should have a apt-check that is tailored to the needs of update-motd in the sense that it outputs the right kind of message (with i18n and everything) | 16:38 |
| mvo | then all that is needed is that it installs a symlink to update-motd and is done with it | 16:39 |
| kirkland | mvo: okay, so i have throw one more wrinkle into the mix ... | 16:39 |
| mvo | kirkland: update-notifier itself drives apt-check, it has inotify rules to monitor apt/dpkg so that it known when it should (re)check for updates | 16:39 |
| kirkland | mvo: i think it's going to be landscape-sysinfo that's going to gather this info | 16:40 |
| mvo | kirkland: hm | 16:40 |
| kirkland | mvo: so landscape-sysinfo could even use a python library to grab this from apt-check | 16:40 |

| maxb | The intrepid-backports devscripts has broken the "dch --distributor" option :-/ | 17:47 |
| * maxb wanders in the direction of launchpad | 17:48 | |
| pitti | mvo: is it really deliberate that apt-get build-dep installed packages get auto-removed? | 17:52 |
| pitti | it makes 'autoremove' pretty useless on a developer box | 17:52 |
| ScottK | Maybe we need apt-get autoremove-build-dep-yes-really | 17:57 |
| maxb | "apt-get build-dep" is an explicit user request to install packages, so shouldn't they count as manually installed? | 17:59 |
| cjwatson | I could go either way | 17:59 |
| cjwatson | often build-dep is only very temporary for me | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | install, build, remove | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | anyway: | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | * make "apt-get build-dep" installed packages marked automatic | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | by default. This can be changed by setting the value of | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | APT::Get::Build-Dep-Automatic to false (thanks to Aaron | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | Haviland, closes: #44874, LP: #248268) | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | so change that configuration option if you don't like it | 18:00 |
| ion_ | Yeah, build-deps are typically temporary – if i want -dev packages that stay, i can make them manually installed. | 18:01 |
| pitti | cjwatson: ah, thanks; so feature, not bug | 18:03 |
| liw | I tend to find that apt's (or aptitude's) heuristics of autoremovable packages meshes badly with what I want to keep, but I am probably excentr^Wodd | 18:06 |
| ion_ | liw: You might want to try debfoster. I use that (and apt-mark-sync to sync its decisions to apt and aptitude). | 18:11 |

| bryce | slangasek: hey, SRU question for you | 18:26 |
| bryce | slangasek: wacom tablets are fairly broken right now in Intrepid. There is a newer version of the linuxwacom driver in Jaunty (0.8.1-6 vs 0.8.1-4) with necessary fixes. Would a sync of something like that be conceivably within the realm of possibility? | 18:28 |
| jdong | bryce: since it's the same upstream version can't we just call it a "SRU"? :) | 18:45 |
| bryce | jdong: guess that's my question ;-) | 18:46 |
| pwnguin | bryce: isn't it really hard to test jaunty right now? | 18:46 |
| bryce | pwnguin: indeed. In this case, the users self-compiled the driver and tested it on intrepid. | 18:46 |
| jdong | I mean if wacom is "fairly broken" IMO it wouldn't hurt to do some ~proposed testing. If you have big enough a base, put it into a PPA I guess | 18:46 |
| pwnguin | i mean, im all for better wacom; the status quo is terrible | 18:46 |
| jdong | s/base/bug subscriber base/ | 18:46 |
| pwnguin | i hope i dont have a big ppa base | 18:47 |
| pwnguin | anyways, i dont have the right hardware to test | 18:48 |
| jdong | me neither. | 18:48 |
| jdong | christmas presents welcome ;-) | 18:48 |
| pwnguin | heh | 18:48 |
| bryce | well, I'm trying to determine how much time this is going to require. If we can just sync it in, it should be a reasonable amount of time and I'll give it a shot. If it's going to require patch cherry picking, ppa testing, and so on, I likely won't have sufficient time to see the whole thing through to completion, so ought to focus my efforts elsewhere. | 18:48 |
| jdong | bryce: well I assume the differences between debian revision 4 and 6 is just going to be a lot of debian/patches magic, right? | 18:49 |
| bryce | probaby | 18:50 |
| bryce | +l | 18:50 |
| jdong | I'd just package all of those patches into a SRU-like version number (i.e. -4ubuntu0.1) and consider that a SRU candidate, get a couple users to tell you it works okay, then you're done :) | 18:50 |
| jdong | (QA FOLKS PLEASE LOOK AWAY) | 18:51 |
| pwnguin | heh | 18:51 |
| pwnguin | what's the worst that can happen? | 18:51 |
| pwnguin | wacom remains broke? | 18:51 |
| jdong | pwnguin: from the way it sounds, it can't get any worse. | 18:51 |
| jdong | s/any/much/ | 18:51 |
| pwnguin | i suppose it could crash X | 18:52 |
| jdong | I wouldn't expect that to happen with the kind of changes in a new debian revision though. | 18:52 |
| pwnguin | but the recovery tools are supposed to be bulletproof now ;) | 18:52 |
| jdong | I'd be a lot more scared if it were an entire new upstream release and a huge diff | 18:53 |

| superm1 | NCommander, busy as usual :) | 21:23 |
| bryce | slangasek: like #291908, hangs device when any pressure is on it | 21:23 |
| NCommander | superm1, busy with what specifically; anything I can do to hep? | 21:24 |
| superm1 | NCommander, with work related things, so not really so much. but if you are looking for bugs to fix on stuff, i've got plenty i can point you at :) | 21:25 |
| NCommander | heh, ScottK just got me on one :-) | 21:25 |
| kees | superm1: ah-ha, cvs 1:1.12.13-11 happened on Jan 27, 2008. Hardening was enabled on Jun 08, 2008. | 21:27 |
| bryce | slangasek: basically my question is whether a sync of the driver is feasible, or if the individual fix needs to be identified and SRU'd by itself | 21:27 |
| kees | superm1: so, this is a problem now (I have no idea how it was ever noticed during intrepid... weird) | 21:27 |
| superm1 | kees, ah so it never got rebuilt for hardening. the fact that we synced is why it happens now | 21:28 |
| kees | superm1: right. I'm curious how the problem in the wiki was ever noted, but when I tested it had "gone away" since it wasn't rebuilt yet. wheee | 21:28 |
| superm1 | kees, well at least i'm catching this early You've got eon's to ponder on it now. :) | 21:28 |
| * kees wonders why it doesn't freak out in fedora... | 21:29 | |
| jackrabbit | I'm having a problem running autogen.sh on a svn build of network-manager-applet since upgrading to 8.10 | 21:45 |
| jackrabbit | the error I get is: libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and | 21:45 |
| jackrabbit | libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. | 21:46 |
| jackrabbit | libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. | 21:46 |
| jackrabbit | does anybody know what's causing this? | 21:46 |
| cjwatson | jackrabbit: surely that is a warning, not an error; if you aren't the developer you can ignore it | 21:48 |
| jackrabbit | well, it started after I upgraded and then I got some other errors as well | 21:48 |
| cjwatson | then you should investigate the things that are actually errors | 21:48 |
| jackrabbit | and . . . I ma developing | 21:48 |
| jackrabbit | :) | 21:48 |
| cjwatson | the output you quote from libtoolize is clear instructions to developers on changes in libtool macro handling | 21:49 |
| jackrabbit | which I believe are responsibles for the errors later on | 21:49 |
| cjwatson | but, as you can tell from the language used ("Consider ..."), they don't need to be fixed immediately | 21:49 |
| cjwatson | jackrabbit: it seems unlikely, but it is impossible to tell without knowing what those errors are | 21:50 |
| jackrabbit | cc1: warnings being treated as errors | 21:50 |
| jackrabbit | utils.c: In function ‘utils_fill_connection_certs’: | 21:50 |
| jackrabbit | utils.c:231: error: implicit declaration of function ‘nm_setting_802_1x_set_ca_cert_from_file’ | 21:50 |
| jackrabbit | utils.c:235: error: implicit declaration of function ‘nm_setting_802_1x_set_client_cert_from_file’ | 21:50 |
| cjwatson | totally and utterly unconnected to the libtoolize output | 21:51 |
| cjwatson | what is the svn url? | 21:51 |
| jackrabbit | I think they're caused by the abcense of header files | 21:51 |
| cjwatson | what would libtoolize have to do with header files? | 21:51 |
| cjwatson | (it operates on objects and has nothing to do with headers) | 21:51 |
| jackrabbit | svn://svn.gnome.org/svn/network-manager-applet/trunk | 21:51 |
| jackrabbit | cjwatson: I'm not that familiar with libtool/autotools etc | 21:52 |
| cjwatson | jackrabbit: the network-manager-applet version you're compiling requires a newer NetworkManager than what's packaged in Ubuntu 8.10 | 21:56 |
| cjwatson | jackrabbit: the nm_setting_802_1x_set_ca_cert_from_file and nm_setting_802_1x_set_client_cert_from_file functions were added in revision 4239 of NetworkManager, which was committed on the day 8.10 was released | 21:57 |
| jackrabbit | that's svn too | 21:57 |
| jackrabbit | ok, I'll re-install and see if that helps | 21:57 |
| cjwatson | that suggests that you are not successfully using the headers from the NetworkManager you built, but are instead using the system headers, then | 21:58 |
| jackrabbit | cjwatson: mind if I ask how you figured that out? | 21:59 |
| cjwatson | how I figured which bit out? | 21:59 |
| jackrabbit | that the symbols were from a newer version than 8.10 | 22:00 |
| cjwatson | jackrabbit: I checked out NetworkManager, grepped for that function, used 'svn blame' to find out when the lines in the header file in question were last changed, and used 'svn diff' to confirm that the revision in question was the one that initially introduced those symbols | 22:00 |
| cjwatson | and then 'svn log' told me the commit date which was later than the time 8.10 was released so I didn't need to look any further than that | 22:01 |
| jackrabbit | ok | 22:02 |
| jackrabbit | thanks, now I'll be able to check that out next time :) | 22:02 |
| directhex | hm, /me spots a minor bug | 22:08 |
| directhex | looks like a gtk label doesn't have pango markup enabled on it | 22:08 |
| kees | holy cow. cvs implements its own kind of asprintf. | 22:44 |
| kees | and manually constructs %n-using vsprintfs | 22:44 |
| kees | superm1: well that was fun to track down. I've uploaded a fixed cvs now. | 23:07 |
| NCommander | hey kees | 23:09 |
| kees | hola NCommander | 23:09 |
| NCommander | So here's my research | 23:09 |
| NCommander | If you have a prebuilt PIE GCC and glibc, you can install it into an existing system | 23:09 |
| NCommander | But I need doko's help to actually get a usable patch, mine breaks the C++ compiler from compiling :-/ | 23:10 |
| kees | why do gcc and glibc need to be PIE before I can built other PIE stuff? | 23:10 |
| kees | er, can build | 23:10 |
| NCommander | no, if you want glibc/gcc to be pie | 23:10 |
| NCommander | :-) | 23:10 |
| NCommander | You can have PIE binaries without them | 23:10 |
| kees | I'm happy to move one step at a time | 23:11 |
| NCommander | kees, if your going to be at UDS, we could work on this there (aka, get the spec fully hammered out and such) | 23:11 |
| * kees nods | 23:11 | |
| kees | yup, I'll be there. :) | 23:11 |
| NCommander | That way, we can also pin doko and extract the secrets of GCC from his brain | 23:12 |
| elmo | woo, security vs. toolchain! | 23:14 |
| elmo | it wouldn't be a UDS without it! | 23:14 |
| kees | :) | 23:14 |
| elmo | \o/ | 23:15 |
| wgrant | Toolchain always wins. | 23:15 |
| elmo | wgrant: this time, kees brought reinforcements | 23:15 |
| elmo | TAG TEAM CAGE MATCH | 23:15 |
| kees | though, I think I still lost since I ended up joining the toolchain group. :P | 23:15 |
| NCommander | We should have a four way fight, toolchain v. server v. kernel v. security! | 23:16 |
| * NCommander runs | 23:16 | |
| wgrant | elmo: But now you've warned doko of the evil reinforcement plan. | 23:16 |
| NCommander | elmo, got a moment? | 23:16 |
| wgrant | Do the archive admins know that Jaunty PPAs are waiting on them now, or are we in a deadlock like we were with Intrepid translations? | 23:17 |
| elmo | NCommander: not really, but what's up? | 23:17 |
| NCommander | elmo, its yet another PPA question. I have a pending request to see if the kernel team can get a non-virtualized PPA for the linux-ports kernel. Obviously building the -ports kernel on x86/amd64 is of *ahem* limited value :-) | 23:18 |
| NCommander | er | 23:18 |
| NCommander | THat wasn't meant to be a PM | 23:19 |
| NCommander | https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+question/48531 - the distro team asked me to bring to the PPA admins | 23:19 |
| wgrant | NCommander: You mean the other way around? | 23:19 |
| NCommander | wgrant, what the otherway around? | 23:20 |
| wgrant | The PPA people seem to be asking you to ask the distro team, not vice-versa. | 23:20 |
| NCommander | the distro team sent me back :-P | 23:20 |
| wgrant | Ah. | 23:20 |
| NCommander | EINFINITELOOP | 23:20 |
| elmo | well | 23:24 |
| NCommander | Ports is somewhat unique, since even just finding some of the hardware *cough*hppa*/cough* is a down right pain | 23:25 |
| === lacqui_ is now known as lacqui | ||
| kees | ogra: can you handle the moodle merge? the security fixes I added are all in the Debian package now. | 23:50 |
| DoYouKnow | how do I get the latest development kernel on ubuntu? | 23:59 |
