snikkerah, ok... thanks.00:00
james_wanyone know what's going on with http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19916491/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-i386.glui_2.36-2ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz ?00:04
james_wtouch configure-stamp00:04
james_wdpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 200:04
RAOFLooks like the actual error is above that.00:06
azeemjames_w: hrm, *maybe* those warnings spit out by libtool led to a non-zero exit status, and bootstrap is reporting that00:06
RAOFWHile running bootstrap.sh00:06
azeemRAOF: which error?00:06
azeemoh00:07
azeemright00:07
james_wah, oh yeah00:07
james_wis that a parallel make or something?00:07
RAOFAlso, it looks like that's trying a parallel build, and build-stamp's running before configure has finished (or, in fact, started)00:08
james_wso build-stamp should depend on configure-stamp?00:09
RAOFProbably on configure?00:10
james_whmm, maybe00:11
RAOFWell, actually, it likely doesn't make any difference.  But yeah; build-stamp should depend on configure(-stamp), because it doesn't work until configure's been run :)00:11
james_wconfigure is PHONY, so wouldn't have make build-stamp be run every time?00:11
RAOFUm...00:12
azeemsometimes, I wonder whether that configure: target in debian/rules was invented before or after the advent of autoconf00:12
RAOFI think dependenices of a PHONY target aren't refreshed if they're up to date, but that's something I'd want to check to be sure.00:13
azeemyeah, I'd assume build-stamp would just be a no-op then if the stampfile already exists00:13
Coringaoola alguem pode dizer em portugues aqui.. por favor00:16
CoringaoÉ sobre o repositorio Ubuntu Games00:16
Coringaotipo tenho um repositorio00:17
azeemCoringao: this is an english channel00:17
Coringaodeb http://archive.ubuntugames.org intrepid main00:17
Coringaoazeem, sorry.. not english  :(00:18
RAOFThere is a Portugese channel, though.  That'd be #ubuntu-pt (?)00:18
* RAOF can never remember his locale codes.00:19
CoringaoRAOF, I created a repository for the Ubuntu Games00:20
CoringaoRAOF, Where it exists games not official in the Ubuntu00:21
CoringaoRAOF, I am creative and administrator of link Ubuntu Games00:22
Coringaohttp://www.ubuntugames.org00:22
RAOFDo you have a question?00:23
CoringaoRAOF, would like to officialize the repository that I created00:23
RAOFRight.  Why are the games not in the Ubuntu repositories already?00:24
Coringaosorry... I am using a translator.00:24
azeemCoringao: does somebody from your team speak good english?00:24
Coringaoazeem, sorry.. I do not have team. I made this alone project.00:26
Coringao:(00:26
leleobhzwell00:29
Coringaoleleobhz, De um help aqui00:29
leleobhztrying to explain quickly00:30
leleobhzCoringao has created a repository only for games not packaged yet for ubuntu00:30
leleobhzand he want to know if have a way to add these packages to official branch of ubuntu00:30
leleobhzactually these packages are stored into ubuntugames.org server00:31
leleobhzthis guy is the project mantainer00:31
leleobhzthe idea is insert these games into multiverse or universe repositories00:31
azeemare you sure?00:31
leleobhzabout what?00:32
azeemit sounded like he just wanted to have his repo "blessed"00:32
azeemnot getting his packages in00:32
wgrantThe idea seems to me to be to create another separate repo that is useless and destroys more upgrades..00:32
leleobhzno00:32
RAOFThere's the standard way, same as getting any other package in Ubuntu.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages?action=show&redirect=MOTU%2FPackages%2FNew is an English version of the page; I'm not sure if there's a Portugese translation.00:32
azeembut if he really wants to get his packages into universe, he just become a MOTU00:32
azeemthe language barrier might be a problem, though00:33
leleobhzthe idea is only to add these packages to ubuntu repositories00:33
wgrantleleobhz: Why does that site exist, then?00:33
leleobhzwgrant: because a lot of these games dont exist packaged for ubuntu00:33
wgrantThen somebody should package them for Ubuntu.00:33
leleobhzand the intention is teach a easy way to novice users get their games working on linux00:34
azeemit seems to have been quite some work to build up this community etc.00:34
leleobhz[24/11-22:32:59] < azeem> but if he really wants to get his packages into universe, he just become a MOTU00:34
* leleobhz think this is the case...00:34
wgrantI don't see why people are so quick to start their own repositories and communities when they can with substantially greater ease leverage the existing repository and community.00:34
azeemwell, becoming a motu doesn't exactly happen overnight these days, AIUI00:35
leleobhzthe idea is dont need a isolated repository, but have these games available throught ubuntu00:35
wgrantOne doesn't seen to be a MOTU to get packages into universe.00:35
wgrants/seen/need/00:35
azeemleleobhz: there's a vibrant Debian/Ubuntu games team00:35
wgrantleleobhz: Why does the isolated repository exist, then?00:35
azeemleleobhz: possibly, somebody of them speaks portuguese00:35
azeemleleobhz: I think there are at least a couple of spanish speakers in there00:36
azeemhe should contact them00:36
azeemIMO00:36
leleobhzwgrant: because the packages isnt on ubuntu (yet i hope :p_00:36
leleobhzazeem: its a great idea too00:36
azeemwgrant: let's assume it was by ignorance of the available procedures00:36
wgrantazeem: There is an awful lot of that around these days, it seems.00:37
azeemyeah, sure00:37
leleobhzazeem: yes... these guys arent very experienced about packaging00:37
leleobhzwell, ill discuss with Coringao these ideas00:37
azeemI guess there's a lot of over-motivated people who hear about FLOSS communities, get excited and want to start their own community00:37
james_wI have some sympathy though, I wouldn't want to try and push 20 packages in to Ubuntu00:37
azeemyeah00:38
wgrantThen I would posit that they have no business running their own repository to work around QA procedures.00:38
leleobhzand i need to get away because im busy00:38
azeemleleobhz: thanks for doing this!00:38
azeemnow, where is bddebian when you need him00:38
azeemwgrant: it's Free Software00:39
azeemwhat they do isn't smart for the community, but they can do whatever they please00:39
wgrantI didn't say it wasn't permitted.00:39
azeemjust remember that Debian people though exactly the same of Ubuntu when it started up00:40
azeembut anyway, let's hope this is getting resolved in the games team or something00:40
azeemthought*, anyway00:40
wgrantTrue.00:40
directhexthere are cases where you don't have many options00:49
directhexe.g. my mono updates repo, since mono is barred from foo-backports00:49
azeemheh00:49
directhexand i'll continue to cite my 12000+ user statistic, even though the number has dropped significantly post-intrepid-release :/00:51
kirklandmathiaz: i managed to create an ubuntu branch of ecryptfs-utils: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mhalcrow/ecryptfs-utils.git;a=shortlog;h=ubuntu01:47
mathiazkirkland: great01:49
kirklandmathiaz: okay, i'm trying iscsitarget.failed-upgrade01:49
mathiazkirkland: I've build your package - it seems that it's working if you renamed iscsitarget.prerm to prerm01:50
kirklandmathiaz: oh, hmm...  interesting.  i named it iscsitarget.prerm per man dh_installdeb01:51
mathiazkirkland: right - however you have docs and dir files in debian/01:51
mathiazkirkland: so it seems that debhelper assumes that your only building one package.01:51
mathiazkirkland: and you can just use prerm, postinst01:52
kirklandmathiaz: okay, let me give that a shot01:52
mathiazkirkland: ok - how did you notice that it wouldn't work?01:52
kirklandmathiaz: that what wouldn't work?01:57
kirklandmathiaz: i tried building the package, and expected the file debian/iscsitarget.prerm.debhelper to be generated, with my code plus the auto-generated code01:58
kirklandmathiaz:  when you do that (rename it to prerm), do you get: E: iscsitarget: maintainer-shell-script-fails-syntax-check prerm01:58
kirklandmathiaz: nevermind02:00
kirklandmathiaz: boneheaded syntax error on my part02:00
kirklandmathiaz: hmm, so when you said it "worked" ...  did your built package end up with a fully populated debian/iscsitarget.prerm.debhelper ???02:04
kirklandmathiaz: hmm, but it does look right in debian/iscsitarget/DEBIAN02:06
mathiazkirkland: ok - so that means the package is probably correct then.02:07
nhandlerTo get a package backported to intrepid, do I just file a bug against intrepid-backports and subscribe ubuntu-backporters?02:14
ScottK-laptopnhandler: Yes.  If you can say you've tested that it builds, installs, and runs, then say so and set it to confirmed.02:16
ScottK-laptopnhandler: Feel free to ping me after you've done that.02:17
nhandlerScottK-laptop: Is it a requirement to upload it to a PPA?02:17
ScottK-laptopnhandler: Not at all.02:18
ScottK-laptopnhandler: You  tell me you  tested it and that's good enough.  If it FTBFS, then I send NCommander to hunt you down.02:18
nhandlerScottK-laptop: Great. I'll submit the bug report. It built cleanly in pbuilder02:18
NCommanderwait, what?02:19
ScottK-laptopNCommander: Easy.  Not yet.02:19

kirklandmathiaz: tested, working02:31
ScottK-laptopnhandler: Looking02:35
nhandlerThanks ScottK-laptop02:36
mathiazkirkland: did you add the code to failed-upgrade?02:36
kirklandmathiaz: no, prerm02:36
kirklandmathiaz: that seemed to work better02:36
ScottK-laptopnhandler: You also need to say it installs and runs.02:37
mathiazkirkland: hm - I meant i the prerm script - under which action did you put the code?02:37
mathiazkirkland: upgrade or failed-upgrade?02:37
nhandlerScottK-laptop: Ok, I'll add that in (it does install/run)02:37
ScottK-laptopGreat.02:37
kirklandmathiaz: oooooohhhhhh02:38
kirklandmathiaz: great idea02:38
kirklandmathiaz:  i couldn't it to work under that part of the case statement, so i removed it entirely02:39
kirklandmathiaz: duh, it belongs under failed-upgrade02:39
mathiazkirkland: http://women.debian.org/wiki/English/MaintainerScripts02:39
mathiazkirkland: ^^ there is a chart about the sequence of maintainer script calls.02:39
ScottK-laptopnhandler: Ack'ed.  Now it's just question of when an archive admin processes it.02:39

mathiazkirkland: hm - have you already uploadedÉ02:52
mathiazkirkland: ?02:52
kirklandmathiaz: nope02:52
kirklandmathiaz: was giving you a chance to respond, since you had looked at it02:53
mathiazkirkland: what about protecting the code with a version comparisonÉ02:53
mathiazkirkland: ?02:53
mathiazkirkland: OTOH you're checking the md5sum02:53
kirklandmathiaz: i thought about that, but i figure the md5sum was even stronger02:53
mathiazkirkland: ok - I think it makes sense.02:55
mathiazkirkland: what kind of testing did you do?02:56
kirklandmathiaz: 1) installed the new package on a system with no iscsitarget package installed02:56
kirklandmathiaz: 2) installed the new package on a system with the Intrepid iscsitarget package installed02:57
kirkland(ie upgraded)02:57
kirklandmathiaz: 3) upgraded from the current jaunty package02:57
kirklandmathiaz: 4) upgraded against itself02:57
kirklandmathiaz: all of those seemed to succeed02:57
mathiazkirkland:hm ok.02:58
mathiazkirkland: I don't see the point of 4) though02:59
kirklandmathiaz: good enough?  any other concerns?03:04
mathiazkirkland: no other concerns.03:05
mathiazkirkland: I was just wondering what was the use case of 4)03:05
kirklandmathiaz: none really, now that i think of it03:06

Elbrushas anybody experience in building in with sbuild? when I add universe to the sources.list I get a "W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy Release: Could not execute '/usr/bin/gpgv' to verify signature (is gnupg installed?)" warning and the build failes.04:15
ElbrusI could install gnupg in the schroot, but than the root is not "clean" anymore...04:15
ElbrusAny idea how to handle this correctly?04:16
jmarsdenElbrus: Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SbuildLVMHowto and check the --source-template option?04:27
Elbrusjmarsden: I have no experience with LVM, it is something worth learning at this moment?04:30
jmarsdenI'm not sure.  Try just reading the sbuild man pages or do more googling for sbuild ubuntu sources?  LVM isn't hard, but if you've never played with it, I'm not sure it's necessary at this point for you either.04:35
Elbruswhat is the minimum that the root should have: build-essential and ubuntu-minimal?04:36
jmarsdenDoes man 7 sbuild-setup not answer that?  In a rather Debian-focused way, but still... it mentions several things to apt-get.04:40
jmarsdenIs there a reason you can't use pbuilder, which seems to be simpler to set up and use?04:41
Elbrusjmarsden: I used the sbuild-createchroot script which is *supposed* to take care of it04:42
Elbrusjmarsden: yes, lazarus does not want to build in it... to much happening before the source is passed to the jail04:42
Elbrusmight be a bug worth reporting to lazarus, but of that I am not sure04:42
Elbrusjmarsden: oh, I use pdebuild, but IIUC that is nearly the same, right/04:43
Elbruss/\//?04:44
jmarsdenYes.  You can use   sudo pbuilder --login to play around inside a pbuilder if you need to set something up just so for lazarus?04:44
jmarsdenWorst case, once lazarus builds for you outside of a chrooted world, you could just upload it to your PPA, and see whether it builds OK there? ;)04:46
Elbrushmm, it really pukes on it before it even gets to pbuild (the clean rule calles patch and unpatch, I think it goes wrong there)04:46
ElbrusI prefer only building inside chroots, because I am not so experienced in programming that I trust the handling outside the jail... or am I exagurating here?04:47
jmarsdenIt's up to you... I'm not an expert at all.  I tend to build things in my real live machine, then check for dependency issues etc in a pbuilder, then upload to PPA, then if all of those work, my build is probably OK.04:48
Elbrusand how do you build against different ubuntu versions outside a chroot?04:52
Elbrusor just test the building on the live machine and then the rest in the PPA?04:53
Elbrusjmarsden: thanks for the help04:54

directhexPath: /home/directhex/Projects/pkg-cli-apps/packages/giver/trunk/debian/rules19:01
directhexLast Changed Author: iulian-guest19:01
iulianHmm, then how can I pull that from svn?19:02
slytheriniulian: what is the url you are using?19:02
directhexURL: svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-cli-apps/packages/giver/19:02
directhexuse your iulian-guest alioth login19:03
iulianslytherin: ^19:03
iuliandirecthex: I believe I did that.19:03
directhexprobably need to set it in ~/.ssh/config19:03
iulianHmm, I will try again.19:03
directhexHost svn.debian.org19:03
directhexUser directhex-guest19:03
iulianI usually use iulian-guest@svn.d.o19:03
slytheriniulian: I believe the url should be svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/pkg-cli-apps/packages/giver/19:04
amikropHi. When I boot with the vga=791 option, the tty resolution is set correctly, but my splash screen is messed up. Any help, please?19:06
iuliansvn+ssh://iulian-guest@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-cli-apps/packages/giver: No such file or directory19:08
iulianAm I missing something?19:08
* RainCT grumbles about aptitude not accepting alternative installs (ie, "aptitude install a | b", which wouldn't do anything if either of them is installed) :P19:08
directhexiulian, odd. try just checking out svn+ssh://iulian-guest@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-cli-apps ?19:08
slytherindirecthex: I believe that /svn/pkg-cli-apps should be only /pkg-cli-apps19:13
directhexoh, should it? balls19:13
iuliandirecthex: Ah crap. Forgot the co part. This is the reason why it didn't work. svn is just not my preferred vcs TBH.19:14
directhexiulian, well, until alioth has a Visual SourceSafe service... :(19:14
iulianslytherin: There is no pkg-cli-apps dir in /. So it should be /svn/pkg-cli-apps.19:15
iulianYay, he already left.19:15
directhexiulian, got there in the end? \o/19:16
iuliandirecthex: Why you guys don't switch to git? IIRC I talked to meebey a few months ago and he wasn't too happy about how svn works.19:16
amikropWhen I boot with the vga=791 option, the tty resolution is set correctly, but my splash screen is messed up. Any help, please?19:16
directhexiulian, does alioth do git? is that recent?19:17
directhexamikrop, change the settings in /etc/usplash.conf19:17
amikropdirecthex: and make them what?19:18
directhexamikrop, erm, make them match 791?19:18
directhexi think 791 is 1024x768 isn't it?19:18
amikropdirecthex: currently, they are my screen's full res19:19
amikropdirecthex: yes19:19
amikropdirecthex: currently, they are 1920x120019:19
directhexah, was about to ask if it was widescreen trouble19:19
amikropdirecthex: I *have* a widescreen, right?19:19
iuliandirecthex: No, I believe not. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2006-10-25 12:02 /git -> /srv/git.debian.org/git19:20
amikropdirecthex: ?19:20
directhexi'd love to fix usplash to cope with widescreen properly, but it's funky c, and i'm scared of just offering backseat programming advice to someone like mjg5919:20
directhexamikrop, 1920x1200 is 19:10 widescreen, yes. 24/27" tft.19:20
directhexamikrop, but 791 is a non-widescreen mode19:21
amikropdirecthex: so, what mode would be good for my ttys?19:21
directhexamikrop, well, "best" would be a 1920x1200 framebuffer19:21
amikropdirecthex: there is not a mode for 1920x120019:21
directhexamikrop, not if you're reading charts from sites like linuxquestions there isn't19:22
amikropdirecthex: but...?19:22
directhexamikrop, install "hwinfo", run "sudo hwinfo --framebuffer"19:22
directhexamikrop, your GPU may offer a non-standard >1024 mode19:22
directhexe.g. my laptop has 1280x80019:22
amikropdirecthex: ok, it diplsayed many modes19:23
amikropwhich should I choose?19:24
directhexamikrop, it displays modes in hex, e.g   Mode 0x0307: 1280x1024 (+1280), 8 bits19:24
directhexamikrop, pick the "best" mode you can find, and convert the hex mode to decimal19:24
amikropdirecthex: I know, I just ran it19:24
amikropdirecthex: what is the "best"?19:24
directhexamikrop, well, 1920x1200x24, if you have it19:25
amikropThe onw with the higher bits? the one with the +number in parantheses? the higher res?19:25
amikrop* one19:25
jmarsden|workamikrop: 1920x1200 with 24 bits is the one you want19:26
amikropdirecthex: it is not available19:26
amikropjmarsden: it is not available19:26
* directhex smells user support rather than packaging work19:27
amikropdirecthex: two "good" ones seem to be 1600x1200x16 and 1024x768x2419:27
amikropsorry19:27
directhexamikrop, well, use one of those then.19:27
amikrop1280x1024x24 and 1600x1200x1619:28
amikropdirecthex: what is the best of these two?19:28
directhexconvert the Mode to decimal and use that line in your menu.lst - e.g.   "Mode 0x0317: 1024x768 (+2048), 16 bits" might look familiar19:28
directhexamikrop, which do you care more about, the resolution or the color depth? in your consoles, this is.19:28
amikropdirecthex: well, which do *you* care about most, in your consoles?19:29
amikropdirecthex: so? :-)19:30
directhexamikrop, which do you want in your text console. 65,536 colours or 16,777,216 colours?19:31
amikropdirecthex: It doesn't matter so much, I guess...19:31
amikropdirecthex: Because it is just a console.19:32
amikropdirecthex: right?19:32
directhexright. but i wasn't answering for you19:32
amikropdirecthex: excuse me? you weren't answering for me? I didn't understand that...19:32
directhexamikrop, you spent 10 minutes asking which number was bigger, in a development channel19:35
amikropdirecthex: Well, I am sorry.19:35
directhexamikrop, so like i said. pick the mode you want to use, convert the Mode 0x bit to decimal, use that number instead of 791, and ensure /etc/usplash.conf matches it19:36
amikropdirecthex: after, $ sudo update-initramfs -u ?19:37
directhexyeah.19:37
directhexand update-grub after changing menu.lst19:37
amikropok, thanks, and excuse me, again19:37
directhexwas i out of order? O-o19:47
iuliandirecthex: Is it required to add CSC=/usr/bin/csc when configuring?19:50
amikropdirecthex: I put vga=884 for 1600x1200x16 but it told me that the the mode 386 or somthing was invalid (during boot) and it prompted me to choose on now. And it gave me a list with modes different than that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub.19:51
=== protonchris_ is now known as protonchris
directhexiulian, strictly speaking, we'll let you live as long as you were already using gmcs - but we want to see the compiler overridden to be 'csc', which is our 'default c# compiler for this release' executable19:52
amikropdirecthex: It gave me a list with 3xy, 3xz etc, and not 7xy, 8xz like the one above19:52
amikropI guess its the decimal conversion part, which you told me about19:52
iuliandirecthex: Ah-ha19:52
directhexamikrop, then your GPU behaves funny and doesn't offer high res modes until late in the boot process (e.g. after the driver is loaded). my old geforce did that19:52
directhexiulian, but different apps use a different thing in autoconf - i need to check the giver source to see if it uses CSC or MCS or CAKE or what19:53
directhexhm, no autofoo in giver. sigh19:54
amikropdirecthex: any suggestions?19:54
iuliandirecthex: That would be great. In the meantime I will test the package to see if it works.19:54
iuliandirecthex: Ah, OK.19:54
directhexiulian, looks like it takes GMCS19:54
directhexso GMCS=/usr/bin/csc19:55
directhexamikrop, well, when in doubt, back down to 791 shou;d always work19:55
amikropdirecthex: but 791 is not wide screen19:55
directhexamikrop, neither is any of the modes you mentioned. and usplash doesn't work peoperly with widescreen consoles19:56
amikropdirecthex: ok, then. thanks.19:56
iuliandirecthex: Shouldn't it be /gmcs instead of /csc?19:57
directhexiulian, currently csc is a link to gmcs.19:58
directhexiulian, upstream have talked about merging gmcs and mcs again - so we might do something make sure we can phase changes to suit us19:59
directhexiulian, the way 'python' isn't neccessarily 'python3.0'19:59
=== RainCT_ is now known as RainCT
iulianOK, I will just use csc then.20:00
RinchenHi MOTUs!  Question... I've just been alerted to a security exposure in a MOTU packaged Universe package.  Whom do I report this too?20:01
RinchenBug on the source package?20:02
directhexiulian, looks like you might get the honour of being the first *app* to be transitioned :p20:02
RainCTRinchen: Yep20:02
iuliandirecthex: Oh, really? Cool ;)20:02
RainCTRinchen: there's an option to make the bug private20:02
Rinchenright... ok.20:02
Rinchenlooks like it was filed20:03
handschuhIs there anybody who wants to be the second advocate on http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=uiflite ?20:03
Rinchenbut not marked as a security vuln20:03
directhexiulian, unless you & RainCT get into some kind of exciting battle20:03
Rinchenactually, it is...20:03
* Rinchen curses his LP Admin privs sometimes :-)20:03
Rinchenthanks20:03
RainCTnp20:04
RainCTdirecthex: heh, no, I leave him the honor :)20:04
directhexthe weekend's mono 2 transition work made both ars technica and boycott novell \o/20:08
iuliandirecthex: I see that mono-devel is still in experimental. Should I target it to experimental as well?20:08
directhexiulian, yes.20:08
directhexiulian, this is pre-work for squeeze! and jaunty, of course20:09
iuliandirecthex: Yeah, wondered why pbuilder failed.20:09
directhexah. i recommend you test against jaunty in pbuilder for now20:10
directhexas mono 2.0-1 in experimental is a little broken - 2.0.1 should land later tonight20:10
iulianOK20:10
directhex(it's already in jaunty)20:10
ajmitchdirecthex: how many nastygrams have you got for supporting the evil mono?20:14
directhexajmitch, to my inbox? only one. the anti-mono crowd are mostly cowards, so they just insulte me on irc & blogs20:15
ajmitchdirecthex, singlehandedly destroying free software ;)20:16
directhexajmitch, not at all. meebey is the jedi master of mono on debian. it'd go nowhere without him20:16
ajmitchI know20:17
amikropI sticked with 791. How can I set my TTYs to be colorful, now? Is it an option in ~/.bash_profile or something?20:21
amikropdirecthex20:21
directhexyes.20:21
amikropdirecthex: How can I find out which option it it?20:21
directhexforce_color_prompt=yes20:22
directhexin bashrc20:22
DRebellionHi, could anybody point me to a list of the possible values for the Section: field in debian/control?20:22
amikropdirecthex: thanks :)20:23
iuliandirecthex: It's done. It built without problems. Please take a peek at http://users.alioth.debian.org/~iulian-guest/giver_diff20:29
directhexiulian, looks perfect to me, let me run it by meebey20:30
iuliandirecthex: OK, I will commit to svn as well.20:31
slytherincan someone please give back libxpp3-java?20:32
ScottKslytherin: Done.20:33
directhexbring it back, sing it back, bring it back, sing it back to meeeeeeeee20:33
slytherinScottK: thanks20:34
directhexiulian, apparently your restructured rules are a bit odd (the mono 2 transition bit is fine), can you join oftc #debian-mono to speak with meebey?20:34
iulianSure20:35

slytherin|eMerzh|: There is no need to advertise the package so frequently except on revu days.20:37
directhexamikrop, i'm no expert on ANSI color codes20:38
ajmitchplay with the numbers20:38
fabrice_spHi. I'm writing the debian/copyright file for a software that is 'GPL' (that's what there is in source files). Is it the same as GPL-2+ ?20:39
amikropajmitch: which numbers?20:39
ajmitch32m & 34m20:39
amikropdirecthex: at least, do you know what part is about the color?20:39
* ajmitch can't remember, it's been so long20:39
directhexfabrice_sp, what does the COPYING file it comes with say?20:40
ajmitchfabrice_sp: they don't have the usual GPL header in the source?20:40
fabrice_spCOPYING says "GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE"20:40
directhexno version? seriously sounds like v1 o_o20:40
fabrice_spyes20:40
fabrice_spbut v1 has been superseded by v2, right?20:41
ajmitchany date mentioned in COPYING?20:41
fabrice_spCopyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.20:41
ajmitchsounds like GPL 220:41
fabrice_spyes: i've just found that: Version 2, June 199120:42
fabrice_spso it's a GPL-2 only? No +?20:43
fabrice_spmy reviewer in REVU tells me about GPL-3 :-/20:43
|eMerzh|slytherin: oups...don't want to upset ....just impatient to see if it 'll we accepted....its my first package....20:44
ajmitchdoes the source file not have the appropriate GPL headers in comments?20:44
slytherinfabrice_sp: check if all files are under same license.20:44
fabrice_spslytherin: That's what I'm doing20:44
fabrice_spbut the sources files only have 'Licence:     GPL'20:45
slytherin|eMerzh|: Don't worry, someone will review it eventually20:45
slytheringeser: ping20:45
fabrice_spso COPYING licence (GPL-2) apply in that case?20:45
fabrice_sparghh: one source file  is under wxWindows licence :-/20:48
ajmitchoh fun20:48
ajmitchcopyright stuff is a hassle at best20:48
fabrice_spajmitch: yes :-/20:51
fabrice_spthe new format for copyright file is clearer, I think20:52
