Hobbseejust nuke the forums.01:06
ajmitchsounds good to me01:07
directhexjdong, i noticed that thread01:23
directhexi wonder WHY i noticed that thread.01:23
jdongdirecthex: yeah I hope the rest of the peanut gallery can see that it's not a great script to be running.01:31
jdongI'm through arguing with him.01:31
directhexjdong, but using -y with apt is always the right thing to do!01:32
directhexand so is using rm -f, just in case you changed those perms for a reason. and using remove/install01:34
crimsunjdong: we'll be discussing the future of flashplugin-nonfree at UDS.01:52
jdongcrimsun: neat. What kind of future, like whether or not we're gonna punt it out of the repository, or better support for it?01:52
crimsunjdong: those issues are on the table01:53
crimsun(I suspect the discussion will involve hacking nspluginwrapper to not hog cpu, too.)01:54
=== vorian is now known as heHATEme
jdongcrimsun: very nice. Well I wish the best of success... comparing my Ubuntu experience to OS X on the same system, flash and sound are the two biggest day-to-day discrepancies I see01:56
=== heHATEme is now known as vorian
crimsunwell, the alpha 64-bit plugin of non-Free Flash is already a huge step forward in lessening the cpu nastiness, but there's quite some ways to go01:58
TheMusojdong: What sound issues do you have?02:19
jdongTheMuso: mostly distortion -- blipping sometimes associated with system load02:25
jdongit's better when I disable ondemand CPU frequency scaling, dunno if that's placebo effect or not02:25
TheMusojdong: Is your hda codec fully supported in Linux?02:27
Hobbseejdong: ah, another distortion person!02:29
jdongTheMuso: it's an ALC885 I believe, iMac 8,102:31
jdongTheMuso: to get any sound I have to set model to mbp302:31
TheMusojdong: Yeah thats been fixed in later alsa code, i.e 1.0.18 I think so the mbp3 flag is not needed.02:31
TheMusoMy MacBook Pro is in the same position, although I don't get distortion at all.02:31
TheMusoNot that I've noticed anyway.02:31
jdongTheMuso: well the last time I used 1.0.18 I had a beautiful kernel panic in alsa code :)02:32
jdongso I might hold off for a bit. I'm somewhat gun-shy now02:32
TheMusoheh02:32
TheMusojdong: Was that the final 1.0.18 release?02:33
jdongTheMuso: yeah02:33
crimsunI'm running the 20081116 snapshot with nary a panic.  Where did it splode?02:33

crimsunyes, the entire thing.  (Please file a bug affecting linux if you haven't.)02:34
jdongcrimsun: affecting Linux for... a self-compiled alsa 1.0.18 failing?02:34
crimsunjdong: good point.  Well, it needs to get looked at somehow.02:35
jdongcrimsun: fwiw full pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu.com/73630/02:36
crimsunjdong: ok.02:36
jdongcrimsun: at the time I was using Skype02:36
jdongit seems like the skype auto-microphone-gain-adjustment feedback loop triggered that call path02:37
crimsunTheMuso: I'm looking redoing the source package for alsa-driver.  It's madness ATM.  Will send e-mail to pkg-alsa-devel once I have something less vapourware.02:39
crimsunlooking at*02:39
jdongcrimsun: I made an attempt at DKMS'ing alsa-driver...02:39
jdongthen I realized dkms actually makes you list all the .ko's and where to install them.02:39
ajmitchslightly overkill?02:39
jdongthen it went on a "TODO: perl hack" list and never got touched :D02:39
jdongajmitch: *shrug* guess Dell never had to package something with 50+ .ko's?02:40
jdongthe Fedora dkms RPM of alsa-driver definitely listed out every .ko and an install path for each.02:40
TheMusocrimsun: Ok, I guess what we want to be able to do is track it in git, and pull/merge commits from upstream as we want them.02:40
jdongit looked painful.02:40
ajmitchespecially if they change in a future release02:40
ajmitchjdong: besides, the answer to that is Python :)02:40
TheMusoDKMS is not the answer for alsa kernel modules.02:41
jdongajmitch: oh they CHANGE depending on ./configure flags :)02:41
TheMusoIMO02:41
crimsunyeah, I considered dkms some bit ago, and while it makes sense for an upstream vendor with a known subset of codecs to support, it's not feasible at package install.02:42
crimsunI even had the usual madness of "oh, let's anticipate which audio devices the user /might/ insert".  Yeah, crack.02:43
ajmitchwhich would include any usb or bluetooth devices?02:44
crimsunyeah, like "hda-intel" + "usb-audio" + "snd-bt-sco" and whatnot.  The problem is, what if I hotplug something requiring a more specific driver (e.g., usb-usx2y or usb-caiaq)?02:46
superm1snd-bt-sco is still in existence with 2.6.27+ though?02:46
TheMusocrimsun: Or you insert a PCI card into a desktop that you want to use, say ice1712/2402:46
crimsunTheMuso: precisely02:46
crimsunsuperm1: well, it's still shipped in intrepid02:47
crimsun(as in, since this work is going into pkg-alsa-devel, we don't have just Ubuntu kernels to consider)02:48
TheMusoThat makes things even more hairy.02:48

binarymutantshould I just ditch everything after the first paragraph in my readme.source?04:03
binarymutantor is dpatchhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/README.sourceHowTo04:06
jmarsdenbinarymutant: Pick the relevant bit of that wiki page for the patch system you are using04:06
binarymutantjmarsden, well I was using the entire dpatch example, should I just ditch everything after the first paragraph of it though?04:07
Hobbseeoh, so that's where that was from04:07
jmarsdenbinarymutant: It's up to you ... the page was just some examples to help people create the file easily.04:07
binarymutantjmarsden, also it's dpatch deapply-all04:08
jmarsdenHobbsee: I plead guilty?04:08
* Hobbsee still doesn't agree with part of it04:08
jmarsdenCare to propose a fix?04:08
Hobbseejmarsden: something to the effect of: "To undo patches that have been previously applied to the source package, run:"04:10
mneptokwininst.exe04:11
Hobbseejmarsden: it's probably a little pedant-ish, but it doesn't fulfil the role of dh_clean, or any of that, iirc.04:11
jmarsdenHobbsee: Is it supposed to?  Per Policy 4.1.4 it is supposed to say how to "Remove source modifications that are currently being applied when building the package."04:13
Hobbseejmarsden: well, check with persia, but i thought the only thing it did was undo the patches.04:13
Hobbseemaybe it has changed, and i'm out of date04:13
jmarsdenRight, and those are the only source modifications being made, right?04:13
persiaWell, depends on the package.  lsdiff -z *.diff.gz is a good way to double-check.04:14
jmarsdenI was a *total* beginner when I wrote that wiki page, BTW and in many ways I still am one...04:14
Hobbseei wouldn't bet on it04:14
binarymutantI think it makes sense the way it is...except for the dpatch unapply-all should be dpatch deapply-all04:15
persiamneptok, It's a policy violation to use extensions for programs in the default path.  Please patch your application to use "wininst" instead.04:15
mneptokpersia: so *that's* why i got a lot of crap for "mnep.tok"04:15
NCommanderHobbsee, repoke04:16
persiaslytherin: nuking doesn't need a REVU Hacker.  Any REVU Admin can do it.04:17
jmarsdenbinarymutant: OK, s/unapply-all/deapply-all/ fix is now applied to the wiki :-)04:24
binarymutantvery cool jmarsden, I also think your right about the way it reads04:26
jmarsdenMaybe.  I need to think a bit more about the more philosophical change _Hobsee and _persia seem to be suggesting...04:26
persiajmarsden, It's probably better to insert the '_' in the middle :)04:27
jmarsdenAh, oops... :)04:27
jmarsdenGive me props for at least *trying* not to alert you unnecessarily!04:27
persiaDoesn't matter.  I read everything here anyway, and the other isn't spelled with two 'b's.  Anyway, which philosophical change am I suggesting?04:28
jmarsdenWell, via Hobb_see, that the "Remove source modifications that are currently being applied when building the package" language which Policy 4.1.4 says the README.source is supposed to document, may not be 100% fulfilled by the stuff I have put in there...04:29
persiaThe key instructions are 1) How to get the source from the unpacked state into a good state for review of the build target, and 2) How to get the source in the state for review of the build target into the preferred state for uploading.04:29
persiaThe fact that this doesn't necessarily get the source into a pristine upstream state is irrelevant.04:30
jmarsdenOK... so better to keep it simple and leave that part as is, you are hinting?04:30
* persia hunts for a URL, and actually reviews the document04:31
jmarsdenhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/README.sourceHowTo and http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-readmesource04:32
persiaI find the language very confusing.04:32
jmarsdenIt's as close to policy as I could get... or that was my intent.04:32
persiaEssentially, you *don't* want to "generate the fully patched source" before you "modify the source and save those modifications" when following the dpatch or cdbs examples.04:33
persiaYou've covered the base use case for policy, but it's hard to read.04:33
persiaThe quilt example works well, except/unless you want to insert patches into the stack at a different level.04:33
persiaAlso, if I remember the ML discussions about this, there were supposed to be default snippets in quilt, dpatch, CDBS, etc., so debian/README.source could say "This package uses quilt.  Please see /usr/share/doc/quilt/patching-with-quilt for further information".04:34
persiaI'd be opposed to adding any of the examples to any new packages.04:35
Elbrusnellery: ping04:35
persiaThat level of detail is only required if the package constructs it's own patch system, else we have lots of duplicated content in the archives, and need to patch in lots of places if the behaviour of a patch system changes.04:35
jmarsdenOK.  Would you be opposed to adding them to any of quilt/dpatch/CDBS that don't yet have such examples included?  That was actually a thought of mine at the time I first created the page.04:36
persiaElbrus, In nearly all cases, it's better to provide some context with a ping, and often it's better to ask things generally.04:36
Elbrusnellery: I am trying to understand why the changes are needed in nedit...04:36
persiajmarsden, No, not at all.  I think there's already some work done in Debian to that effect though: it may not be worth duplicating the effort.04:36
* persia is not entirely up-to-date on this particular issue.04:36
jmarsdenOK.  I don't see one in dpatch in Intrepid, for example04:37
persiaMight have gotten caught by the Lenny freeze.  Check Debian VCS.04:37
persia(and BTS)04:37
jmarsdenOK, can do.04:37
Elbrusnellery: my version runs on my machine so I wonder if/why the lesstif2 is not enough04:37
persiajmarsden, If they don't appear there, submitting good texts as patches to the BTS would probably make sense.  Once there, applything them in Ubuntu is mostly a question of timing.04:38
jmarsdenOK.  I'm still mroe comfortable in the Ubuntu world than the Debian one... I need to grow up and start learning how to deal with upstream stuff :-)04:39
Elbruspersia: sorry, I see.04:39

persiaConsidering the only change to lesstif2 in Ubuntu is a scrollwheel inversion patch, I don't know why it wouldn't work, and suspect that's leftover cruft as well.04:48

persiaHobbsee, Can you shed any light on this?04:50
Elbruspersia: I can try if you want.04:50
persiaElbrus, Last change to Ubuntu before the merge was April 2007, so things may have changed :)  Given you recently looked at the package, I suspect you're right.04:50

Hobbseepersia: oh right, his merge. not my changes.04:56
* Elbrus did not very extensive testing, but at least nedit runs and performs tasks...04:56

hyperaircould someone explain to me what this lintian warning means? W: codelite: possible-unindented-list-in-extended-description07:47
ScottKhyperair: Run lintian -v on the package.  That should give you a very detailed explanation.07:50
hyperairScottK: k thanks07:50
hyperairScottK: doesn't seem any more detailed than earlier07:52
ScottKOK.  Sorry I'm out the door right now and don't have time to give detailed help.07:52
wgranthyperair: Try -i instead07:53
hyperairwgrant: alrighti 'll try that thanks07:53
sorenhyperair: Could you put the entire control file on pastebin?07:53
hyperairhttp://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=codelite07:55
hyperairsoren: it's there07:55
hyperairsoren: i'm fixing a bunch of lintian errors right now, and that popped up.07:55
hyperairsoren: http://pastebin.com07:56
hyperairshit07:56
hyperairwrong url07:56
sorenhyperair: I see it now.07:56
persiahyperair, Package descriptions have a very distinct way to handle lists.07:56
sorenRight, lintian explains it pretty well.07:56
sorenAnd links to debian policy which explains it even better :)07:56
hyperairsoren: yeah it does, but i don't get it. i don't have any unindented lines!07:56
sorenIt's not indented enough :)07:56
sorenRead 5.6.13 of debian policy.07:56
hyperairsoren: eh what?07:56
hyperairsoren: got a link?07:56
sorenhttp://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html07:57
persiahyperair, After removing the indent for the description, you don't have any indent left.07:57
hyperairsoren:  thanks07:57
soren4 seconds of google. Bam!07:57
hyperairpersia: i don't understand. what indent?07:58
sorenhyperair: Have you read 5.6.13 yet?07:58
hyperairsoren: yeah. but i still don't get what's wrong with my control file =\07:59
sorenOne space at the start of the line (which all of your lines have) just means "this line is part of the extended description).07:59
hyperairsoren: yes, i know that. i have one space at the start of my lines. so what's wrong?07:59
persiahyperair, You have a list that doesn't meet the criteria for lists (second bullet point in the description of the extended description)08:00
sorenAny application presenting this data is allowed (probably even encouraged) to reformat these lines by removing the linefeeds you added and use something more fitting for the way it's presenting it.08:00
sorenObviously, that'll mess up your list.08:00
hyperairsoren: so what should i do?08:01
sorenAny line beginning with two (or more) spaces will be left as is.08:01
hyperairoh so i should indent it with one more space?08:01
sorenYes.08:01
hyperairsoren: okay thanks08:01
hyperairnow i just have to figure out how to write manpages08:02
persiasoren, Not only "encouraged" but "mandated" by policy: "Successive lines of this form will be word-wrapped when displayed."08:02
hyperairand then write 5 of them08:02
hyperairand figure out a way to shfit /usr/share/codelite/plugins to /usr/lib/codelite/plugins08:02
sorenpersia: "will" makes it a prophecy which in my book is less than a mandate :)08:03
persiasoren, Was policy proscriptive, I'd agree.  As policy is supposed to be descriptive, I suspect that all current tools do wordwrap.08:04
hyperairhmm is there a lintian that won't complain about this? E: codelite_1.0.2432-0ubuntu1_source.changes: bad-ubuntu-distribution-in-changes-file jaunty08:05
YasumotoRAOF:just so you know, almost done with updating the changes for miro08:05
Hobbseehyperair: the jaunty one itself, probably.08:05
Hobbseehyperair: you can just ignore it, though08:06
sorenhyperair: Yeah, don't worry about that one.08:06
hyperairalright08:06
RAOFYasumoto: Cool.  I was wondering about that ;)08:10
YasumotoRAOF: I was down at a Usenix conference repping the SoCal linux expo last week, it through off my schedule08:10
Yasumotosorry :-X08:10
RAOFNo problem at all, it's not like the deadline's pressing.08:11
Yasumotoyeah, true08:11
Yasumotothanks for the advice so far :)08:11
RAOFThanks for taking an interest in Miro.08:11
hyperairif i'd like to add a bunch of diversions for a package, should i use dpkg-divert in preinst and postrm or what?08:17
RAOFYeah.08:17
persiaYou should probably try to make the package not need them though.  They are *very* annoying to get right.08:17
hyperairok08:17
hyperairpersia: well, you see, there's this package i'm thinking of packaging.. which is geany-dark-scheme or something of that sort08:18
YasumotoSo to properly update the changelog,I should just walk through the changes from the last ubuntu releases(since the last merge) and double-check if they're in the vanilla debian package?08:18
hyperairpersia: the thing is that the stuff in it overrides the data files for geany,, but at the same time, without geany, it's useless08:18
persiaYasumoto, If you're doing a merge, preserve *all* the previous Ubuntu changelog entries, but then only report on the preserved changes by examining how your package differs from Debian.08:19
hyperairpersia: any suggestions besides dpkg-divert?08:19
persiahyperair, Then surely that's a bug in geany: that it doesn't have a facility to allow for additional data to be added post-install.08:19
hyperairpersia: unfortunately so. the colour schemes for the files are all in /usr/share/geany, and they have to be overriden if it is to be changed08:21
Yasumotopersia: thank you, yeah, I'm working on a merge. By "report", does that mean I should delete anything that's included in debian, include notes on what's found in the ubuntu package? I feel like I'm not grokking this right, sorry :/08:21
persiaYasumoto, Your final changelog should be the old Ubuntu changelog + any new changelog entries from Debian + a new changelog entry from you.08:22
persiaIn the new changelog entry, you want to have one item "merged with Debian.  Remaining Ubuntu changes:" and list the specific changes you are preserving.08:23
Yasumotoohhhh08:23
Yasumotothank you08:23

YasumotoRAOF: if you have some time, mind looking at my preliminary changelog? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/73754/08:44
Yasumotojk, update: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/73756/08:45
mr_pouitpersia: imho that was not very useful to add a watch file to xfce-mcs-plugins-extra, as it'll be deprecated with xfce 4.6 ;)08:58
RAOFYasumoto: Looks about right, although you're missing the dropping of the needless democracyplayer-data package.08:58
persiamr_pouit, Oh, then yes, it was probably useless.  I just found it when I was cleaning up ~/src/scratch today, and pushed it to help clear UEHS.08:59
YasumotoRAOF: good, catch, I didn't see that09:01
RAOFYasumoto: I always debdiff my merges against the Debian base while reviewing my changelog; that makes it easy to spot.09:06
slytherinpersia: do you have GCJ installed at present?09:09
persiaslytherin, No.09:09
slytherinpersia: ok. Whenever you get time, can you please check if omegat starts with GIJ runtime? My last changelog entry indicates it should run, but it was not working yesterday. I am working on putting changes back into Debian.09:12
persiaslytherin, Do you need that tested in intrepid, jaunty, sid, or lenny?09:14
slytherinpersia: intrepid is fine.09:15

handschuhIf a package that I have created passed revu and got into the ubuntu-repositories, am I allowed to update this package directly?12:48
persiahandschuh, If you're an Ubuntu developer.12:48
volandhow can I add xml2-config --cflags into source for ppa packaging?12:48
persiahandschuh, More generally, it falls into the same category as the rest of the packages in Ubuntu, but the sponsors are always happy to upload updates.12:49
directhexhandschuh, you still need to file debdiff/diff.gz updates to launchpad - you can just get to be more... insistent... when going on a sponsor hunt12:49
handschuhpersia: so getting an update through revu is likely faster than a new package?12:50
directhexhandschuh, might i suggest a trident? a normal spear isn't very good at pinning sponsors down12:50
persiahandschuh, No.  Updates don't go to REVU.12:50
persiahandschuh, More specifically, you'd submit patches to packages in the archive through bugs, and the sponsors process those.12:50
joaopintocan someone advocate http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=amoebax ? Thanks12:50
persiadirecthex, sponsors are slippery.  Nets are more useful.  The trident is to be used *after* the net.12:51
handschuhpersia, directhex: thats good news to me  - thanks12:51
persiajoaopinto, The latest upload has already been rejected.  It's exceedingly unlikely to be sponsored without more comments or uploads.12:51

joaopintoI had the wrong idea the cdbs edit patch would add the patch to the patches list12:54
volandcould someone tell where to dig with this libxml? or where can i ask. don't think it's a demand, it's just a request ^12:56
azeemvoland: try to be more specific12:56
azeemyour question is highly dependent on the particular build system of the package12:56
volandhere it is a build log from my ppa: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19751646/buildlog_ubuntu-intrepid-i386.easyreader_0.1.2-1ubuntu2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz12:57
volandsomeone told me to use 'cc `xml2-config --cflags`' in compile prosess, so my question is where sould i put this? in witch file?12:58
volandas you can see dependences are satisfied, but it can't find header files...13:01
volandsorry for dusturbing you all but i simply want to build this package13:01
joaopintovoland, if your package has a Makefile, you would add it to CFLAGS, the xml2-config13:02
voland*disturbing13:02
volandin my makefile.in there is this line: PACKAGE_CFLAGS = @PACKAGE_CFLAGS@13:03
azeemvoland: so check what it gets expanded to in Makefile13:04
volandand in src directory in makefilei.am there is anoter one: INCLUDES = \$(PACKAGE_CFLAGS)13:04

slytherinvoland: Is this the first time you are compiling something from source?13:11
volandslytherin, no, but this troubles faced me for the first time13:13
slytherinvoland: the reason I am asking is that you do not seem to be very familiar with autotools based compilation.13:16
eMerzhhandschuh, thanks for your comments, package updated13:17
volandslytherin, yes, i'm not very familiar. my problem is: if i want to check my package with pbuild it returns me an error like this: /usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlmemory.h:16:31: error: libxml/xmlversion.h: No such file or directory13:19
volandi have this package (libxml2-dev installed), but nothing solves13:20
slytherinvoland: when you say, I have libxml2-dev installed, where is it installed?13:21
volandslytherin, /usr/include/libxml2/13:21
slytherinvoland: pbuilder does not use packages installed on your machine.13:22
volandyes, but it is in my dsc file in depend section13:22
volandin build-depends section13:23
slytherinvoland: what is the link to your ppa?13:26

slytheringuest22: have you ever logged in to revu?18:58
fabrice_spI'm the upstream maintainer of packaging for Ubuntu, and the versions has been added by Christian Marillat18:58
nxvlsebner: for NCommander is easy, just build test and ACK, patches review are harderd18:59
nxvlharder18:59
persiaguest22, which package?18:59
fabrice_spjames_w: that's why I know that versions are not mandatory (and also, I published the package since gutsy in sourceforge repository)18:59
guest22slytherin: Yes, I'm currently logged in.18:59
nxvlsebner: and if security vulnerabilities included, is worst18:59
guest22persia: xnav18:59
sebnernxvl: hehe, ok ok. don't worry. I'm just happy you are still interested ;P19:00
NCommandernxvl, er, what?19:00
nxvlsebner: for all 3/4 releases it's needed QA, rebuild, PoC and such19:00
guest22persia: see http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=244219:00
slytheringuest22: did you login before uploading the package? The thing is that your GPG public key will get imported from launchpad to REVU on first login.19:00
nxvlNCommander: is just ONE release19:00
nxvlNCommander: not much work19:00
fabrice_spjames_w: so should I put a justification of removing required versions in changelog?19:00
NCommandernxvl, I have a second ack for you19:00

handschuhslytherin: uiflite-package: I talked to the upstream-author and he refuses to release the package seperatly19:03

persiaguest22, Right.  I need to know who *you* are, not which bug :)19:05
fabrice_spjames_w: because the debian packager of this package (not Christian, but the original one) had hard time to find a stable version of ffmpeg basically. But in Ubuntu, ffmpeg versions are stable19:06
slytheringuest22: what was the dput command you used?19:06
james_wfabrice_sp: ok, that's more of a reason19:06
guest22slytherin: dput revu xnav_0.04-0ubuntu1_source.changes19:07

slytheringuest22: try - dput -f revu xnav_0.04-0ubuntu1_source.changes19:07

persiaguest22, I need the launchpad login.19:08
persiaslytherin, That won't help.  It's on REVU.  It was rejected.19:08
guest22slytherin: Done. As before, received message "Successfully uploaded packages", so no different from last time.19:08
fabrice_spjames_w: ok. So if I put that comment (dependencies not needed as ffmpeg versions are stable) in the changelog, it would be ok?19:08
fabrice_spjames_w: (or similar)19:09
slytherinpersia: I always use -f with revu19:09
guest22persia: Launchpad login is bwohlberg19:09
james_wfabrice_sp: I think so, I'd appreciate a comment from siretart19:09
guest22persia: Is this related to the recent (at least, since the last time I uploaded anything) unification of revu and launchpad logins?19:10
persiaslytherin, That only helps when it doesn't say "upload successful"19:10
persiaguest22, It may well be.  Have you combined your accounts on the REVU website?19:10
fabrice_spjames_w: ok. In the meanwhile, I'll put back quilt and fix the changelog19:10
fabrice_spalso, for siretart, I've uploaded a new version of DVDStyler in revu ;-)19:11
guest22persia: yes, I have. Latest upload just showed up. Did you fix something?19:11
persiaguest22, I've been poking things, but hadn't yet confirmed enough to fix.  Maybe a combination of what I've done and the reupload.19:12
guest22persia: Anyway, seems to be OK now, thanks for the help.19:12
persiaIn future, it's just one command for me to simulate the reupload, which may save you bandwidth.19:12
guest22persia: Noted. While I'm here, I have a question about another launchpad bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/photoml/+bug/243791). It hasn't received any attention for a *long* time: is there somewhere I can make a request for it to be reviewed?19:14

guest22slytherin: It's fix released in Intrepid, but there's also a request for an update to be released in Hardy, which has status New/Undecided19:17
guest22persia: see response to slytherin.19:17
persiaOh.  Just needs someone to backport the fix from Intrepid, and present to the SRU team then.  Waiting on a volunteer.19:18
guest22persia: I've already uploaded a deb diff for Hardy. Is that what you're referring to, or do you mean it's waiting for someone to construct the backport using the debdiff?19:19
persiabinarymutant, I couldn't find a strong enough reason to reject charm, but I did find another minor issue.  Take a look, and if you want to fix that (and the one NCommander found), I'll happily ACK the result.  If not, I'll push.19:19
persiaguest22, Did you subscribe the relevant SRU team?19:19

binarymutantpersia, as for 2: what do you mean should include the GPL paragraphs as instructed by the GPL?19:25
persiabinarymutant, There's a section in the GPL entitled "How to use the GPL" that expects a couple paragraphs to be in each source file.  The current source only says "This is GPL".  Since the GPL is included in the tarball, this is fairly obvious, but still a minor issue.19:28
binarymutantokay I'll contact upstream about that, as for 1: should it just be the path and nothing else? since that particular version of dpatch hasn't been released in ubuntu yet19:30

siretartjames_w: thanks, I'm more or less fine. Swamped with day-job work pretty badly. I barely find time to do any merge :(20:12
siretartfabrice_sp: regarding the patents issues in ffmpeg, I think we worked out a pretty usable compromise. still I think we make way to much fuss about that topic. still waiting for the TB to respond on this issue though20:13
siretartjames_w: fabrice_sp: regarding the package: there is no such thing as a 'stable' ffmpeg.20:14
jdongsiretart: no TB response on the codec patent issue yet?20:14
siretartfabrice_sp: the versioned build-depends have nothing to do with stability. it marks which version of ffmpeg is required to build the package. removing it removes information which backporters help to decide if a package can or should be backported20:14
fabrice_spsiretart: I know ffmpeg is not a stable package, but at least, the ubuntu package is more stable than the one made by Christina Marillat20:15
fabrice_spsiretart: in this case, the version of ffmeg that ubuntu ships are fine20:15
siretartjdong: no, unfurtunately not. collin suggested that we can enable the h261 encoder, which we now have in jaunty though. yay20:15
siretartfabrice_sp: please define 'stable'20:15
fabrice_spthis codec patent issue also affect mpeg2 encoding?20:16
jdongsiretart: interesting :) I would expect the decision to be either (A) Ubuntu cares about software patents (B) Ubuntu doesn't.20:16
jdongfabrice_sp: all MPEG2+ codecs are covered by active patents, yes.20:16
fabrice_spin my case, I can encode a DVD, that plays fine20:16
siretartin any case, your changelog entry is false. it really has nothing to do with stability20:16
siretartjdong: it's not as easy as that. we need to look at the issue more closely than that20:16
jdongfabrice_sp: if you look at a distro like, say, OpenSuse, which cares about patents in the USA where it operates, literally the only thing libavcodec supports is the fully Free formats :)20:17
siretartjdong: AFAIUI, for everything in ffmpeg (except AAC and MP3) there is no difference between shipping encoders or decoders. so I don't see the problem why we really need to exclude the h263 encoder20:18
fabrice_spsiretart: ok, so I just change it to the original one (deleted required versions of lib..), it's ok?20:18
siretartjdong: as for mp3, ffmpeg doesn't support mp3 anyway, but uses libmp3lib for that. AAC is a way more interesting issue20:18
fabrice_spI really thought that -unstripped verison of libavcodec was created because of patent issues20:18
jdongsiretart: right, that's how I understand it too. Except for AAC where the playback is "royalty-free" for "some time", but both MP3 and AAC's encoder+decoder patent encumberance isn't GPL-compatible20:19
jdongsiretart: I've always found it a bit strange that we feel okay about shipping the decoders but not the encoders20:19
siretartfabrice_sp: that's right. to work around the current ubuntu licensing policy. as indicated, I've notified the TB and am still awaiting a decision20:19
kumyslytherin: hum... all seems to be fine now... I deleted all the generated packages and tryed again, now it works fine... sorry for disturbing20:19
jdongit seems like most other distros with dedicated legal depts try to stay away from support for encoding or decoding the encumbered formats20:20
siretartfabrice_sp: jdong: james_w: if anyone of you is at the next UDS, please raise that issue with members of the TB and the archive-admins20:20
siretartjdong: like gentoo or mandriva? both ship a uncrippled ffmpeg for years!20:20
jdongsiretart: :) Prime examples :D20:21
jdongI was thinking like RedHat or Novell20:21
siretartthat's another story.20:21
siretartthe key difference is that both sell boxed versions of their distribution20:21
jdongGentoo I guess has an interesting side... they don't technically "ship" anything :)20:21
james_wsiretart: I am, but I am not comfortable enough with the issues to do so, sorry.20:21
siretartthe MPEG LA charges for 'sold units'. neither ubuntu nor debian 'sell' units of ubuntu20:22
siretartneither does debian, btw.20:22
directhexdebian doesn't sell units of ubuntu? :o20:22
jdongwell even back when they had separate downloadable versions that are NOT sold, this was the case too.20:22
siretartjames_w: they also have a mirror network for their distfiles. of course they distribute the stuff. I'm pretty confident that they even distribute binpkgs of ffmpeg20:22
jdongcan we really safely say we don't sell any units of Ubuntu hence we don't have to pay the royalty?20:23
* jdong is obviously a legal idiot20:23
siretartI wouldn't sign that statement, but you now get the impression why I say it's not as easy as that20:23
siretartyou have to look pretty closely at the matter20:23
* directhex declares free software illegal in the principality of sealand, expects all distrtos to close their doors by attempting to follor the wules of every country everywhere at once20:24
fabrice_spactually, 32 packages rdepend on -unstripped versions of libavcodec, so these are 'riskies' app, then20:24
siretartfabrice_sp: look more closeley. they depend alternatively on the -unstripped versions20:25
fabrice_spalso, that mean that the dvdstyler package won't be accepted in Ubuntu, until this issue has been solved?20:25
siretartin anycase. WTF is wxsvg NOT IN DEBIAN?!20:26
directhexsiretart, because you haven't packaged it yet?20:26

siretartdirecthex: marillat obviously did package it.20:26
fabrice_spbecause it's using libavcodec?20:26
siretartfabrice_sp: I didn't say anything about dvdstyler. whats the matter with it?20:27
directhexsiretart, i've been less than impressed by marillat's packaging. does that sound harsh? he does important work conceptually, but... well... time for him to run through REVU20:27
fabrice_spsiretart: it's a package that I uploaded in revu, and you made a comment some time ago. I uploaded a new version, but it depends on -unstripped libavcodec to encode in mpeg220:28
* fabrice_sp agree with directhex20:28
siretartfabrice_sp: okay. in that case I'd suggest that you install an shlib.local file so that the binary package correctly depends in libavcodec-unstripped-5220:29
siretartand get that to multiverse20:29
directhexi don't think there was a single usable file in his moonlight package... mmmmhmmmmm... perhaps debian/compat was okay20:29
siretartforget his packaging.20:30
fabrice_spsiretart: ok.  Anyway, it should be the case of all dvd app's that are encoding in mpeg2, right?20:30
* siretart points to http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2008-November/002221.html20:30
siretartfabrice_sp: at least for now, yes. Things may change if we find a better solution, but for now, that's the best I've come up with20:31
siretartI agree that our packaging pretty sophisticated. I can everyone just recommend to have a look at ffmpeg-debian's debian/rules file and compare it to marillat's version :-)20:32
fabrice_spsiretart: ok. For the moment, will update dvdstyler20:32
siretartand help would be more than welcome on that!20:33
* siretart points to http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-multimedia/experimental/ffmpeg-debian/debian/rules?rev=1549&view=auto20:33
* fabrice_sp had some fights with ffmpeg to understand why dvdstyler was coredumping in Intrepid, until I discovered -unstripped libraries :-)20:35
NCommanderdirecthex, ping20:36
directhexpang!20:37
siretartbtw, jaunty has bumped SONAME on libavcodec51->libavcodec52. also the API has changed a bit I think.20:38
siretartI wondered why libavcodec51 hasn't been removed yet from jaunty20:39
directhexsiretart, and debian?20:39
siretartdirecthex: in experimental. not unstable/lenny.20:42
fabrice_spjames_w: about the versions: the ones provided in debian/control of wxsvg are not usable (it's a too high for Jaunty), so they have to be changed20:43
fabrice_sp(speaking of bug #298286)20:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 298286 in wxsvg "[Merge request] Please merge wxsvg 1.0-0 from Debian Multimedia unstable for Jaunty" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29828620:43
directhexsiretart, that's okay. we're planning on uploading, well, 50 would be a conservative estimate on the number of source packages heading for experimental from the three pkg-mono teams20:44
directhexunless lenny jumps out of the door pronto20:44
NCommanderdirecthex, does that include a new mono version?20:44
directhexNCommander, oh yes. that's stuck in NEW right now20:45
NCommanderargh20:45
directhexNCommander, well, a 2.0 package is. we have 2.0.1 ready to upload once NEW is over with - and upstream handed us some 2.2 preview tarballs today20:45
NCommanderdirecthex, I'm currently working to get the current mono building on armel20:45
NCommander(glibc issues, nothing mono specific AFAIK)20:45
directhexNCommander, that would be very welcome news. can you try with 2.0, see if it makes a diff?20:46
NCommanderWait, what?20:46
NCommanderOh20:46
NCommanderLink to the package?20:46
NCommanderdirecthex, ^20:47
directhexwell, NEW means NEW means 'not for you, peasant'. http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-mono/mono/trunk/debian/ though20:47
siretartfabrice_sp: if wxsvg is the same quality as the average marillat package, I'd suggest to not sync it but repackage it properly. However I did NOt investigat it yet at all20:47
siretartdirecthex: sounds fun!20:48
directhexman, everyone's being mean to christian tonight20:48
directhexNCommander, feed it http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.0.1.tar.bz220:48
NCommanderdirecthex, when do you expect to be uploading :-/20:48
fabrice_spsiretart: that's my point: why do we need to merge from a non official debian source? For me, it sounds more logical to do it from 'scratch'20:49
directhexNCommander, when NEW finishes mucking about. which, knowing the secret cabal, is another 3 weeks. which is gonna totoally screw with the timing for my jaunty work. ho hum20:49
NCommanderso fix the version in jaunty presently, then try this one20:49
NCommanderIs that what your telling me? ;-)20:50
NCommanderWe're getting a nice backup of FTBFS due no mono period.20:50
directhexNCommander, armel isn't on the mono arch list right now is it?20:51
NCommanderIt is20:51
directhexwait, yes, it is20:51
NCommanderI dunno how stable mono on armel is however20:51
directhexhang on, why does it FTBFS? it's built in  sid20:52
NCommanderglibc mismatch20:52
directhexhttp://ftp.es.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mono/mono-jit_1.9.1+dfsg-4_armel.deb20:52
NCommanderWe have a newer glibc20:52
NCommandermono's prototypes and glibc's headers are having a disagreement20:52
NCommanderThis happens all the time on port architectures :-)20:52
directhexurgh. well, patches more than welcome in that case20:52
NCommanderARM is great20:52
NCommanderI actually get to show normal devs what porting is like20:52
NCommanderWOOO20:52
directhexanything that doesn't break on older glibc is a bonus20:53
NCommanderYeah20:53
directhexyou still have a little bit of time to get into 1.9.1-5 and lenny ;)20:55
NCommanderdirecthex, it looks like the ARM arch dependent code is what self-destructed20:57
NCommanderProbably a safe bet its still broken on 2.x20:57
=== nxvl_ is now known as nxvl
NCommanderdirecthex, I'm looking at the 2.0.1 tarball, the same code I had to change to fix mono on Ubuntu ARM hasn't changed, so the same patch will have to be applied21:09
NCommanderdirecthex, my patch is backwards compatible with older glibcs21:09
directhexNCommander, fantastic. reportbug it please :)21:11
NCommanderLet me wait for this to finish building, make sure we have no more suprises21:11
NCommander(unlikely, but better safe than sorry)21:11
directhexNCommander, it only modifies the arm_mini.c (or whatever it's called) files, no risk ot affecting other arches?21:12
NCommanderactually arch/arms/tramps.c, but yeah21:12
joaopintois patches/00list required for the cdbs patchsys ?21:12
RainCTjoaopinto: nope21:13
directhexjoaopinto, no, but cdbs is sick filth21:13
lagaoh? someone who doesn't like cdbs?21:13
joaopintoerm, I got an erroneous review :\21:13
joaopintodidrocks, don't agree, I love cdbs21:13
RainCTjoaopinto: from a MOTU?21:13
joaopintohttp://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=amoebax21:14
directhexlaga, cdbs is fine as long as you never need to make changes to how it thinks reality should be. veer off the straight and narrow, and it becomes doom21:14
=== ZehRique_ is now known as ZehRique
RainCTjoaopinto: well, it's her pre-breakfast look :P21:15
directhexthis is where you say "we use it for mythtv and it's fine"21:15
joaopintodirecthex, cdbs tries to address a majority of build cases, and does it quite good21:15
RainCTHobbsee: I've given you Reviewer status on REVU, which I've just seen you hadn't, and removed that comment from amoebax so that it doesn't move it down to "needs work"21:17
joaopintocan someone advocate the amoebax package ?21:17
ajmitchjoaopinto: I'm guessing it was because of your misleading use of a .dpatch suffix for the patch21:18
joaopintoajmitch, thatwas not me, I have just provided the name, edit-patch decided to use dpatch21:18
csilkIs it necessary to have menu icons/shortcuts and desktop files in a a new package or is it ok for the initial release to be command line launched?21:18
ajmitcheither way, I'd probably suspect the same thing at a glance, before breakfast :)21:18
ajmitchand before caffeine21:19
joaopinto:D21:19
joaopintocsilk, if its a desktop app, it should be started from the menu21:19
csilkIn that case do you know of any good ubuntu docs on desktop files?21:20
csilkI've searched the wiki but there doesn't seem to be much on that topic21:20
joaopintohum, Hobbsee is right, the patch is not being applied21:20
RainCTcsilk: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/DesktopFiles, http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/21:20
joaopintohum there is something odd, with 00list is not applied either21:21
RainCTjoaopinto: 00list is definitely not used by cdbs simple-patchsys21:21
RainCTjoaopinto: the problem is the file's extension21:22
RainCTjoaopinto: it should be .patch, not .dpatch21:22
csilkThanks RainCT21:22
RainCTcsilk: or easier, just look at some existing file, imitate it, and then run desktop-file-validate on it to find the errors that it very likely will have :P21:22
joaopintohum, let me redo the patch, if cdbs edit patch decided to provide .dpatch, there is a bug21:22
RainCTjoaopinto: cdbs-edit-patch gives it the name you tell it :P21:23
csilkRainCT, sounds like a plan, thanks.21:24
joaopintoPlease make the changes necessary for the patch 02-desktop-fix.patch21:24
joaopintolooks good now21:24
joaopintoTrying patch debian/patches/02-desktop-fix.patch at level 1 ... success.21:25
joaopintook, it's working now21:25
csilkAnother question, I'm not sure how to handle source taken from cvs, how do I remove all the cvs specific files and dirs in a sane standard way before packaging?21:25
RainCTcsilk: iirc,    find -type d -max-depth=1 | grep 'CVS' | xargs rm -r21:26
RainCTcsilk: try it without the   xargs rm -r   first21:26
RainCTerr, and without the -max-depht=121:27
joaopintowhy not find -type d -name "CVS" ?21:27
csilkRainCT, so I'm basically just rm'ing the cvs stuff?21:27
joaopinto-exec rm ?21:27
RainCTcsilk: yep21:27
RainCTjoaopinto: that'd be an option, too :)21:28
csilkI assumed there would be some standard MOTU prefered way21:28
csilkcool, rm it is21:28
joaopintothat grep is not that save, there could be a "MyCVSgame" dir :P21:28
joaopintosafe21:28
csilkI'll manually check if I miss anything with the grep21:28
RainCTjoaopinto: then we should hit the guy who gave it that name *g*21:28
joaopintocsilk, find . -type d -name "CVS" -exec rm -r {} \;21:29
joaopintocsilk, there is no need to check, find does not fail21:29
csilkthanks21:30
joaopintoamoebax was reuploaded with the s/dpatch/patch21:36
ryanakcaI'm patching sources with cdbs-edit-patch ... is there a stock README.source in another package that I could just copy over?22:32
RainCTryanakca: There is. (But I don't know where.. /me doesn't like this new README.source nonsense :P)22:32
ryanakcaRainCT: *nod*... imho, if you want to build the sources yourself, either a) you installed something to build them and our packaging will work like magic, or b) you're compiling by hand, and smart enought to use GNU patch22:35
RainCTryanakca: well, it's for other Maintainer to know how they are supposed to modify your package22:35
RainCTryanakca: but, except for some special cases, that is just obvious or can be found very easily22:36
ryanakcaRainCT: ah... *nod*22:36
RainCTI mean, why would you want to include information about how to use cdbs-edit-patch in every damn package? :P22:36
RainCT(and then, what if the syntax for it changes? :P)22:36
ryanakcadoes it get installed to /usr/share/doc/<foo>/ ?22:36
RainCTryanakca: nope22:38
ryanakcaWouldn't that cause a pile of redundant README's ? Wouldn't it not be better off to stick right in the new maintainer's manual that if you see ``quilt'' in the depends, or the <foo patchsys> rule in debian/rules, you should read that man page?22:38
ryanakcaah, ok...22:38
ryanakcaI see see. I don't get the use, but complaining won't change anything either... *starts hunting* :)22:38
RainCTYeah.. Not sure if including that file is a "must" or a "should" in the Policy, but I'm not following it.. I only have it in one package, and because my sponsor wanted it :P22:39
ryanakcaRainCT: I'm trying to update the aoeui package in Debian... and... well... same situation :)22:40
RainCTActually, I thought Policy is menat to reflect the "common use". I have seen less than 5 packages having such a file, so I dunno from where that rule came from :P22:41
RainCT«If running dpkg-source -x on a source package doesn't produce the source of the package, ready for editing, and allow one to make changes and run dpkg-buildpackage to produce a modified package without taking any additional steps, creating a debian/README.source documentation file is recommended.»22:42
RainCTso it isn't necessary :)22:42
eMerzhRainCT,or everyone else... if you are in a reviewing moood....please considere to have look to ( http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=sqliteman ) Thanks a lot for your patience :)22:43
RainCTryanakca: btw, is it you who blogged about dvorak *lots* of time ago on planet.ubuntu.com? :P22:43
* ryanakca is reading http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-policy@lists.debian.org/msg22445.html22:43
ryanakcaRainCT: most likely22:43
ryanakcaRainCT: but... my blog went kaput... so I lost most of my articles...22:43
RainCTryanakca: Then you almost convinced me that dvorak is cool :P. But I don't feel like learning to type again :P22:44
RainCTryanakca: one thing I wonder.. do you have any problems switching between QWERTY and Dvorak?22:44
ryanakcaRainCT: doesn't take that long... get yourself a long english essay / <random course> project to type, change the keyboard map and print off one of those tent references off of dvzine.org ... dvorak7min helps too22:45
ryanakcaRainCT: Yes... well... for the first 30s - minute... kindof confusing... but after that no problem...22:46
* RainCT (re, Debian.sources) isn't against the 6 lines boilerplate text telling where the docs for the patch system are, btw, but thinks that reproducing them entirelly is plainly stupid22:47
ryanakcaI find typing with QWERTY for long stretches of time uncomfortable now... might just be because the keyboards / desks at school way too high to be good for anybody's wrists22:47

RainCTthanks22:50
ryanakcaHmmm... ``no patch has documentation (see dpatch template)''... is that for in the changelog or in the patch itself? And where can I find said dpatch template? Would it be this line at the end of the dpatch(1) ? dpatch patch-template -p "01_some_patch" "A random patch" <random.diff >debian/patches/01_some_patch.dpatch22:52
