LaneyI guess I'll just send the patch to the bts then00:02
RAOFThat'd fly.00:02
RAOFWell, and you can upload to Universe, too.00:02
LaneyI can't00:03
RAOFOh.  Well, I could :)00:04
LaneyI'll sort you out with my debdiff00:04
RAOFEh.  I think we can probably wait to sync it.00:05
Laneymmk00:05
LaneyHow do I get this plugin to work, btw? It's telling me I might need to rescan my collection but I don't know how to do thtat00:06
LaneyOh, I found it00:06
RAOFIt adds a "rescan library" button to tools.00:06
LaneyRAOF: Can I say that you're sending upstream a patch to the build system?00:09
Laney(are you?)00:09
RAOFOnce it works acceptably, yes.00:10
Laneycool00:10
directhexremembering that 'csc' is never the right option for upstream (currently it's a debianism) - but not being able to set csc IS a bug00:11
directhex<Laney> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/78491/ is a good example00:11
directhexi had similar madness with OOo00:11
RAOFdirecthex: csc _might_ be an option for upstream, if they'd like to be buildable on Windows, no?00:11
directhexRAOF, yes, i think that's true00:11
directhexRAOF, s/windows/microsoft.net/, but yes00:12
RAOFHeh.  Yeah.00:12
LaneyRight, the proper patch shouldn't rely on CSC, rather allow the person building to choose the compiler they like00:12

TheMusonixternal: Done.00:30
nixternalthank you much!00:30
james_wtip: it helps if you actually make the changes rather than just describing them in the changelog entry00:31
TheMusoheh00:31
TheMusoI've done that a few times, trying to rush things. :)00:31
* RAOF almost always debdiffs the new package against the old, to ensure the changelog matches reality.00:33
RAOFAnd when I don't do that, I invariably mess up!00:33
TheMusoRAOF: Thats a very good habbit.00:35
TheMusoI usually do that as well, but sometimes when one is in a hurry, its easy to miss a step and assume. :p00:35
crimsunwhat the00:36
crimsunI'm still in uus?00:36
tonyyarusso!backtrace00:37
ubottuTo get a backtrace of a failing application please read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace00:37
TheMusocrimsun: heh00:37
tonyyarussoUhhh, okay.  How do I get a backtrace for a mozilla application?  gdb tells me ""/usr/bin/kompozer": not in executable format: File format not recognized" and quits.  That file is a shell script that's sets up the environment to run kompozer-bin.00:40
TheMusotonyyarusso: Attach to the pid with gdb?00:40
tonyyarussoTheMuso: ah, right00:41
tonyyarussoTheMuso: wait, crud.  I can't do that either.  It's crashing with a buffer overflow immediately on run.00:41
crimsuninvoke it from within gdb.00:42
crimsun(not the wrapper, the actual executable)00:42
tonyyarussoWill that work without the voodoo of the setup script?00:43
* tonyyarusso goes to try, but who knows00:43
crimsunthat's a test point.00:43
azeemyou can set edit the environment in gdb as well00:43
azeem-set00:43
tonyyarussoAll right, now I get (no debugging symbols found), although I made and installed a dbgsym package...00:45
tonyyarusso(and the application doesn't actually start either)00:46
tonyyarussoI had produced kompozer-dbgsym_0.7.10-0ubuntu5_i386.ddeb using debuild -nc, although I have no idea if that actually worked correctly, then installed it with dpkg -i.00:50
TheMusotonyyarusso: Why not fetch the packages from ddebs.ubuntu.com?00:51
tonyyarussoTheMuso: because I didn't know such things had been made for my package.00:53
StevenKtonyyarusso: You will probably need dbgsym's for libraries linked to00:55
RAOFDoes anyone have a script to walk the dependency chain and install -dbgsym packages?  I've occasionally thought one would be useful, but not hard enough to actually write one.00:57
TheMusoHmm sounds like ddebs.ubuntu.com has not been very widely advertised./00:57
RAOF(As in: potential use is insufficient to overcome inertia)00:58
ajmitch_didn't apport install those at some point?00:58
tonyyarussoTheMuso: Don't take me as a good data point for that - I haven't been paying attention.00:59
crimsunpitti wrote an e-mail to the dev list(s) some years ago00:59
crimsungranted, that's not precisely wide advertisement00:59
james_wI was wondering the other day why -dbgsym packages don't depend on others01:18
james_wor recommend rather01:18
james_wI suspect there is a technical reason for it01:18
RAOFOr maybe no one thought of it?01:18
RAOFAfter giving it not very much thought, I think pkg-create-dbgsym should have all the relevant info.  At least it has the list of binary dependencies and library shlibs and such.01:20

* RAOF thinks 'glitch-free' pulseaudio could do with a less anti-descriptive name.01:21
tonyyarussoIn Build-Deps, is a minimum version required?01:22
RAOFOnly when a minimum version _is_ required.01:22
RAOFSo, in general, no.01:22
tonyyarussoHmm, what else might generate this error?  "dpkg-source: error: syntax error in kompozer-0.7.10/debian/control at line 9: block lacks a package field"01:23
crimsunpastebin the debian/control ;)01:23
RAOFI think I'll settle for calling it the new 'torture ALSA' feature of pulseaudio.01:24
TheMusoRAOF: Why? Whats up with it, besides your issues with underruns?01:24
tonyyarussohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/78514/01:24
RAOFTheMuso: Exactly those issues, nothing more.01:25
crimsunRAOF: to be fair, much of the high-res timer work hasn't been stabilised yet, so we don't see it in alsa-driver yet.01:25
ajmitch_tonyyarusso: the extra blank line01:25
crimsun(meaning Takashi's high-res timer work)01:25
ajmitch_tonyyarusso: ie, take out line 701:25
tonyyarussoajmitch_: oh, doh01:26
RAOFcrimsun: Oh?  I thought that, while it made unusual demands of the alsa drivers, it was at least expected for the drivers to be able to comply :)01:27
crimsunRAOF: err, given just the state of HDA quirks statically compiled into the driver, ...01:29
RAOFSo how is fedora shipping pulseaudio 0.9.13?01:30
crimsun"very carefully"?01:31
crimsunseriously, F10 ships 0.9.13+crackton of patches01:31
RAOFAh.01:31
* TheMuso is pulling the useful ones from git and adding them to Ubuntu.01:32
tonyyarussoHow do I add the ddebs.ubuntu.com repo to pbuilder?01:32
crimsunupdate --override-config --othermirror foo01:35
crimsun(my syntax may be incorrect, but that's the gist)01:35
RAOFI tend to just pbuilder login --save-after-login.01:38
RAOFThen edit away!01:38
tonyyarussoI didn't know you could login to a pbuilder...01:42
RAOFOh, yeah.  It's moderately useful :)01:43
soothI have a package which I am trying to uupdate and the patches are not applying cleaning. But I do not know what patches it is trying to apply. There is no patches directory in debian. Where could it be trying to retrieve the patches from?01:49
crimsunfrom the diff.gz inlined01:49
soothcrimsun: Ah, thanks.01:50
soothIs there a way to extract a .changes file from a deb?02:48
ScottKsooth: What problem are you trying to solve?02:52
TheMusosooth: .changes files are only ever usd when uploading packages. Source and binary packages do not keep .changes files. The changelog should be enough for you to find out what has changed.02:55
ScottKjdong: You around?02:56
soothI built a package using prevu as a dependency of another package. Now I want to dput the first package to my local repo so the second package can see it.02:57
ScottKsooth: .changes is an output of the build process, so if you don't have the .changes and you need it, the simplest thing is to build it again.03:04
soothScottK: Does prevu output a changes file? Or do I have to use pbuilder directly?03:04
ScottKsooth: No idea.  I've never used it.03:05
soothI thought I remember prevu taking care of this stuff for me automatically03:05
ScottKLutin: Why did you split libmlt into three binary packages back in January of this year?  The debian changelog says you did, but not why.  There are no packages in the archive (that I have found) that depend on one that do not depend on all three, so I don't see the point.03:11
sooth/quit I've got an infinite number of places to go, the problem is03:18
soothwhere to stay. -- Johnny03:18
jmarsdenIf a source tarball includes a LICENCE file (GPLv2) but none of the actual source code files have a copyright line at all, is that going to fly for Universe acceptance?? Or would we need to get the original authors to add copyright statements?  I've seen the other way around, GPL-style copyright in the source but no COPYING/LICENSE file... but not this way around...03:56
copproI've heard that it won't, but I'm not sure03:57
jmarsdenThat's my instinct too.  OK, thanks.04:01
RAOFjmarsden: If it's unambiguous that the LICENCE applies to all files in the tarball, it /might/ fly.04:01
* Hobbsee randomly trouts RAOF04:02
RAOFBut it's much nicer for everyone concerned if each file has an unambiguous licence header.04:02

ScottK-laptopleonel: https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126618:59
ubottuwwws.clamav.net bug 1266 in libclamav "recursive stack overflow in jpeg parsing code" [Security,Resolved: fixed]18:59
ScottK-laptopleonel: How's that project going?18:59
leonelScottK-laptop:   got harder than I though with the patches you sent  I guess I fix first the critical CVE's addressed already on Debian and this one you pointed  then the  mem leaks,   is this right with you ???19:05
ScottKleonel: Sounds good.19:06
ScottKleonel: I'd say if you get this new ones and all the ones Debian addressed, that'd be worth an upload.  That'd give you more time to work through the rest.19:06
leonelscottK great ..19:06
ScottK-laptopAnnoying when the answer to the question, "Why isn't it showing up in the archive yet?" is "I forgot to upload it."19:35
jdong:)19:35
jdongit's worse when the answer is "wait... where DID I upload it??"19:35
ScottKWell I've done that one too.19:36
jdongwhat version of Ubuntu first supported LZMA debs?19:37
calcjdong: 8.04 iirc19:37
jdongmmmkay, good enough.19:38
calcjdong: well full support anyway19:38
* calc wrote the final bits of support, but can't remember exactly when ;-)19:38
jdonghandbrake is generating 10MB binaries. Wanna see if I can cut that down a bit.19:38
jdongbzip2 didn't help, so time to try my last buddy :)19:38
calci discussed it UDS and the first one i went to was in Oct 2007 so must be 8.0419:38
calcit might be interesting to recompress the whole archive and redo packages that it would help a lot19:39
calcin some cases it makes a huge difference19:39
calcbut i only looked at what was on the alt cd19:39
=== jdstrand_ is now known as jdstrand
jdongcalc: hmm, gzip: 4.5MB+4.8MB; lzma: 3.3MB+3.6MB....20:00
jdongI wonder if a 2.4MB net savings is worth it....20:01
jdongthen again I don't think an extra 4 seconds compressing the package is worth shedding tears over, either.20:01
calcjdong: heh20:06
nxvlnixternal: we are arriving to SFO or San Jose, it would be better if you specify in your post to which airport are you arriving20:20
sebnernxvl: haha!!20:20
jdongleleobhz: ping; I've gone evil and repackaged handbrake using debhelper with some coordination from their development team. I've stuck my work-in-progress on a PPA at ppa.launchpad.net/handbrake-ubuntu/ubuntu20:22
jdongin particular as outlined in README.Debian upstream provided strong reasoning for bundling their libraries and insist that either this be upheld or we don't try to make official packages and cause a support headache20:22
jdongI still have debian/copyright to write, and neither ghb nor HandBrakeCLI have a manpage20:23
jdongI noticed that you created a manpage for the CLI; I'd like to ask for permission to use it with credit, if you please20:23
calcjdong: for your brief description it sounds like handbrake is mplayer part 2? :\20:24
calcs/for/from/20:24
jdongcalc: slightly worse than that :)20:24
calciow we like to do weird crap and you will like it or else? ;-)20:24
calclol20:24
jdongcalc: echo *.tar.gz: a52dec.tar.gz faac.tar.gz faad2.tar.gz ffmpeg.tar.gz lame.tar.gz libdca.tar.gz libdvdread.tar.gz libmkv.tar.gz libmp4v2.tar.gz libogg.tar.gz libsamplerate.tar.gz libtheora.tar.gz libvorbis.tar.gz mpeg2dec.tar.gz x264.tar.gz xvidcore.tar.gz20:24
jdongand there's about 3x that # of files in patches :)20:25
jdongand yes, they do use incompatible --configure flags compared to what we do, and different ancestry libmp4v2, etc20:25
* calc thinks it would be better off just adding handbrake to some sort of blacklist never to install on Ubuntu list20:25
calcuntil they can figure out wtf they are doing20:26
jdongcalc: oh installation is perfectly fine -- the bundled libs never see the light of day; statically linked.20:26
calcoh thats somewhat better i guess20:26
calcit just makes handbrake huge ;-)20:26
jdongcalc: their reasons for doing so are outlined in my README.Debian; they do use newer-than-svn and not-in-svn enhancements to the above libraries to do the black magic needed for good quality iPod/iPhone H.264's20:26
jdongI mean, of course we'll all moan and groan about the practice...20:27
jdongbut the alternative (coaxing it to build against system libs) is an even BIGGER nightmare20:27
calcjdong: we can't just push those changes into the mentioned packages?20:27
jdongcalc: no, that'll break the rest of the media stack.20:27
calcthey made library abi breaking changes to support better h.264?20:28
jdongI'm sure most of the rest of the world won't appreciate ac3 downmixing, libmp4v2 API changes, iTunes store atoms in MP4's, etc20:28
jdongcalc: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6272197&postcount=3520:28
jdongcalc: the iPod Touch and AppleTV are very finicky devices when it comes to MP4 files; handbrake dev forums are full of weird corner cases that require codec patches to fix.20:29
calcnone of those changes sound like things that wouldn't be wanted elsewhere (particuarly all the configure fixes)20:29
superm1that's no excuse for not finding a way to better integrate into the parent libraries imo20:29
jdongthe worst part of the above is their libmp4v2 is a completely different lineage than our libmp4v2.20:29
jdongsuperm1: meh I agree but that's not really a short-term solution.20:30
jdongwe aren't really in any position to essentially fork the project and make our derivation unsupportable.20:30
jdonglook at what happened with Azureus 2.5.x.x20:30
calcjdong: are they even planning on doing the fixes if you put their hacked up mess into Ubuntu? :)20:30
jdongcalc: to be honest I don't think their devs *CARE* what the hell we do in Ubuntu.20:31
jdongcalc: they already have a fairly negative image of us based on previous attempts to "fix the build system"20:31
jdongit took a bit of a back and forth with their devs before I got a response that wasn't an attack at my male anatomy ;-)20:31
calcjdong: i'll withold my true opinion of what this sounds like wrt them, but its very similiar to what most people thought of mplayer... ;-)20:31
jdong(ok it wasn't THAT bad, but fairly cloase :D)20:32
calcjdong: so if they don't want users don't help them out, just remove it from Ubuntu completely?20:32
calcit sounds like they are just too lazy to do things the correct way20:32
jdongcalc: well if Ubuntu doesn't want the package in the repos then I am not going to insist that to be done.20:32
jdongcalc: I'm mostly getting involved to create some better packages than their subpar ones on their site currently20:33
calcand with the personal attacks you said they made sounds like they are around 10 years old as well20:33
calcah i see20:33
jdongif Ubuntu doesn't want them, I'll help their team maintain a set of good packages in a PPA20:33
jdongat least something that builds in a verifiable environment and stays reasonably close to policy20:33
jdongI totally understand if we on the Ubuntu side don't want yet-another-bundled-package20:33
calcwell i guess that is useful if they are already packaging broken crap that people will end up installing on Ubuntu if we don't have something better ;-)20:34
jdongcalc: exactly. That's my motivation.20:34
jdongcalc: and upstream only built Intrepid packages and you don't want to know what people are trying to do getting it to run on Hardy.20:34
calclol20:34
eMerzhnobody want to review my package ? http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=sqliteman20:37
LaneyeMerzh: You've asked 4 times today, that's probably a bit much20:41
eMerzhsorry :s20:41
eMerzhi don't know how much to ask... i just don't want my package  to be forgotten :)20:42
leonelscottK   intrepid  has clamav 0.94.1   do you plan to push 0.94.2 to  intrepid and hardy ?20:57
geserleonel: see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2008-December/005068.html21:04
leonelgeser: thanks but I'm asking for a push for 0.94.1 as  was done with 0.92.121:07

TheMusojdong: I know for a fact that if the libsamplerate author found out that they tweaked stuff in his code, he would want to get it into his releases. I've actualy met the author personally.21:26
ScottKleonel: Intrepid yes, hardy not directly.21:26
TheMusoThe libsamplerate author that is.21:26
ScottKleonel: For Hardy we need to test the rdepends and such like we did with Dapper for 0.92.21:27
quentusrexwhat license would allow software to be included under 'main' rather than 'restricted'??21:34
directhexquentusrex, any DFSG-free license21:35
directhexquentusrex, but to be in either main OR restricted needs a good reason (as opposed to uni/multiverse)21:35
quentusrexwhat is the different between BSD and GPL?21:36
directhexone is a copyleft license, one is not21:36
gesersebner: finally found some time to vote on your application21:36
sebnergeser: hopefully also on all the others :P21:43
pochuhello :)21:44
sebnergeser: heh, thx for your comment. I'll be carefully =)21:44
sebnerhi pochu =)21:44
pochu\o sebner21:45
mok0sebner: just sent my +121:48
sebnermok0: huh? so late? thx :) but to be honest, my hardy work wasn't that good. still in learning process these days :)21:49
mok0sebner: I've been under a rock21:50
sebnermok0: heh, I like rocks, cool and quiet =)21:54
mok0sebner: heh, nice to be back in daylight though21:55
sebnermok0: daylight? that's not what a geek likes :P21:56

directhexmok0, kim jong il?22:00

ScottKdirecthex: Any chance of help on mono updates for kde4bindings?22:20
directhexScottK, certainly. how can i help?22:20
directhexScottK, warning: i can't download and test it, i'm on a crappy hotel wifi and am being charged per meg22:21
ScottKdirecthex: INevermind then.22:21
ScottKdirecthex: Odds are it will still be waiting when you get home.  None of us on the Kubuntu team know much about mono.22:21
directhexi won't be back in the civilized south until wednesday evening22:22
ScottKdirecthex: Shouldn't be a problem.  We just disabled building the mono bindings for now.22:22
directhexScottK, are you using debian's kdebindings as a basis? i know pusling has been talking with us about the pre-transition packaging, and the changes needed should be minimal22:22
ScottKdirecthex: Just grab the source package when you can.22:22
ScottKdirecthex: Last we tried what they have it didn't work.22:23
ScottKdirecthex: I haven't looked into details.22:23
directhexScottK, well, it'll FTBFS on the mono end due to the build-deps needing a small update. failures for other reasons are obviously out of my hands22:23
directhexScottK, i know all the mono libs etc are packages in the right places in their debian/rules & debian/control22:24
ScottKdirecthex: It builds all but mono fine.22:24
directhexScottK, for now, try changing any mono-foo deps (e.g. mono-gac) to mono-devel (>= 2.0.1) and see if that at least fixes the ftbfs22:25
ScottKOK.  I'll try that.22:27
leleobhzjdong: thanks a lot, iwill look you package. sorry by the waiting, because my personal live isnt going very well, and this weekend i got problems again22:52
