directhexhm. this isn't technically correct, but does the job ( i hope)00:07
ftakiko, I'm done with songbird 1.0.0 but apparently, there's an issue with the ppa builders so cprov killed my builds. I have no way to investigate as locally, it's all fine.00:32
ScottKIf a package has a substantially larger popcon than the sum of the popcon of all it's rdepends, would that be a reason to think people are using it with something unpackaged?00:49
ScottKI came up dry using Google.00:50
HobbseeScottK: or popcon is on crack.  But yes, i'd sya that's probably a reasonable assumption00:53
Hobbseepopcon doesn't do partial reporting, afaik, so i presume that's the only solution00:54
ajmitchScottK: that's not such a problem though, is it?00:54
ajmitchif you need to change something about the package (say the ABI), it it breaks 3rd party stuff, how were you to know?00:55
ScottKajmitch: It's not a problem, but something accounting for ~200 popcon in Debian that's not packaged might be worth packaging.00:55
ajmitchtrying to identify what that thing is will be fun00:55
ScottKI'd like to know what it is.00:55
ScottKYeah.00:55
ScottKIf someone is bored, the package in question is python-dns.00:57
ScottKNot something you're likely to install directly.00:57
ajmitchso it's either something unpackaged, or people are installing it directly to actually use the module in something they've written00:58
kikofta, hmm, I'll ping cprov to figure out what's up00:58
ajmitchScottK: funnily enough, I'm one of the latter01:00
HobbseeScottK: blog about it, and ask?01:01
ScottKajmitch: You installed it directly?01:02
ajmitchit appears so01:02
ScottKHobbsee: That might work.01:02
ScottKOdd.01:02
HobbseeScottK: planet's always good for those sorts of things01:02
ScottKYeah.01:02
* ajmitch does have python-formencode installed, by the look of things01:02
ajmitchbut I think I did actually look at using python-dns directly01:03
ScottKpython-formencode is it's largest (by popcon) rdepend.01:04
ajmitchnot surprising01:04
ajmitchsince python-turbogears & python-pylons use it01:04
ScottKAh.  Makes sense.01:04

leonelscottK ping04:30

leonelscottK for the  jpeg  the code has changed04:36
leonelscottK in  special.c  the patch applies fine04:37
leonelbut there are   structs  changes  for example  maxreclevel  in   0.92.1  is in cl_limits  and  in 0.94  has been moved to  cl_engine04:37
ScottKleonel: Right.  So does that mean the patch needs to be adapted?04:38
leonelI think so04:38
leoneland  in the svn from clamav04:38
leonelthe  changelog for the 1266 clamav bug04:39
leoneldoes not shows the changes  in  others.h or  in clamav.h  for that change04:39
leonelso I guess I'll first find an exploit for the code  test it  and if  is vulnerable  try to adapt the code04:40
leonelas you asked previously that if 0.92.1 is vulnerable04:40
ScottK-laptopleonel: My guess is that unless you find some kind of recursion limit in special.c it's vulnerable, but that sounds good.04:42
leonelScottK-laptop: if(ctx->recursion > ctx->engine->maxreclevel)04:43

aibi'm interested in packaging our software and having it included in ubuntu. is this possible? our software is called Emergent and we have been running our own ubuntu repository for years. http://grey.colorado.edu/emergent04:48

aibi recently ported our software from autotools to cmake as KDE did - has anyone packaged cmake-based software? does their debian generator create standard compliant packages?05:02

jdongwould someone like to speculate why Phoronix benchmarked ext4 using 4 synthetic FS tools and 12 CPU-bound tasks, such as 3D game FPSes?16:13
jdongI'm not sure Michael understands that ext4 doesn't run on video cards...16:13
directhexjdong, michael, bless his little cotton socks, doesn't really get benchmarking16:16
directhexand i say this despite his test suite being a very clever framework (written in php (!))16:16
jdongdirecthex: I think one thing that it DOES show is the variance in his tests16:16
directhexyes16:16
jdongdirecthex: for some reason his gnupg test showed more than 5% difference in performance between the 4 filesystems.16:17
jdongjudging from that I'd consider anything less than a 20% difference in his tests to be statistically insignificant16:17
directhexjdong, but even when doing a 3d card, he benchmarks ancient games which are ~100% cpu bound on a modern card16:17
jdongdirecthex: he also failed to identify even the most basic behavioral characteristics of the 4 filesystems he teste16:18
jdongd16:18
jdongi.e. he failed to notice XFS takes 20-200x longer than ext3 and reiserfs respectively to rm -rf a kernel source tree.16:18
directhexlet's not make this a bitching session - but i feel phoronix's benchmarking criteria have always been a little strange16:18
jdongor that XFS deletes a single 1TB file 20x faster than ext3...16:18
directhexjdong, running mythtv means you just knows these things instinctively ;)16:19
jdongdirecthex: maybe phoronix should run a mythbuntu vs ubuntu 7-zip benchmark.16:19
directhexjdong, you mock, but.....16:19
* jdong wonders how on earth LZMA compression differed by 4-8 seconds doing a single-file using the 4 different FSes...16:20
jdongbless his soul for taking all this time to benchmark stuff; I'm not trying to rag on him or discredit his work....16:21
jdongjust this clearly demonstrates more than ever that his results need to be taken with scrutiny.16:21
jorgenptjdong: 4-8 seconds to a total of .. what?16:22
jdong320 seconds or so16:22
jorgenptjdong: Representing that as a percentage is much more telling. :-)16:22
jdongabout 1-2% variation16:22
jdonghttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ext4_benchmarks&num=716:23
jdongmore frightening is the last benchmark there16:23
jdongGNUPG of a 2GB file16:23
jdongext3 and ext4 difered by 11 seconds (more than 10%)16:24
jdongI don't know what settings he used, but on my system GPG for a 2GB file is somewhat CPU-bound...16:24
directhexjdong, thing is, benchmarking is BORING. it's not as if a little game of quake4 whilst the bench runs matters, right? that's what multi-core is FOR!16:24
rjuneLOL16:25
jdongffmpeg also showed a 7% variation for MPEG2 encoding between ext3 and ext416:25
jdongI also find that extremely hard to believe16:25
directhexright, that's my coffee finished. to the motorway!16:25
jdongffmpeg's mpeg2 encoder at times is slower than its MPEG4-ASP encoder16:25
RainCTIs there a PPA or something to try ext4 on Intrepid?16:41
jdongRainCT: I've got a HOWTO.16:43
RainCTjdong: cool, URL?16:44
jdongdigging :)16:44
jdongRainCT: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=97370116:44
jdongRainCT: FWIW I've been intensively running two systems with ext4dev on stock Intrepid kernels and have not experienced any disk issues YET16:45
jdongI think it's a *better* idea to grab the ext4 2.6.27 patchset from tytso's kernel.org directory16:45
jdongbut even without it, I'm noticing dramatically better concurrent IO performance, fragmentation behavior, and REALLY IMPROVED small-file-deletion performance using ext4 compared to ext316:46
hyperairi wonder how much difference it'd make if you're using ext3 vs ext4 on top of dm-crypt16:46
psusijdong: you know I found out recently while working on the defrag package that fsck considers just about any file over 44k to be non-contiguous in it's little report, since any file over that size will have an indirect block which normally would follow the 11th data block16:46
jdongpsusi: not surprised; I measure fragmentation by cold-read throughput16:47
RainCTjdong: "a better idea" as in it will be faster or as in your computer may not explode? :P16:47
jdongRainCT: it will be faster and one or two unmount-time potential oopses are fixed.16:47
jdongRainCT: there is a notable patch that reduces fragmentation in extent allocation behavior16:47
RainCTalright16:48
jdongIIRC, for a 4GB fedora torrent limited to 200KB/s download speed, the readback on ext3 went at 8MB/s while on ext4 it went at 25MB/s16:48
jdongdisk is capable of 40MB/s sequential sustained16:48
jdongon XFS it was shockingly close to that 40MB/s number, upper 30's IIRC16:48
jdongno preallocation of any type was used16:48
psusiwow, I was going to say neither ext3 nor 4 look good there then16:49
jdongpsusi: well ext4 is looking *BETTER* and this is without the aforementioned ext4 extent patch16:50
psusiyea, but even 25 sounds not good16:50
RainCTjdong: I guess the "turn on not backwards-compatible stuff" point is optional?16:51
psusiwell, not turning on the new features would kind of defeat the point wouldn't it?16:52
RainCTWell, I think I'll wait. I have / and /boot together, and don't want to mess with the /home partition :P16:52

directhexmoon apparently requires cairo 1.8. not a debian problem, but i was hoping for syncability20:52
directhexdo i target experimental (which has it) or make the package build its own static cairo?20:52
directhexor something else?20:52
pochudirecthex: are you sure you are on the right channel? :)20:53
directhexpochu, sure. the syncability question matters!20:53
directhexpochu, or if not, what solution? OOo-style synamic control building?20:53
pochudirecthex: ok, if you can upload to experimental and keep it syncable, I'd go for that20:55
pochuit won't hit testing anyway ;)20:55
* directhex gives his sponsor the word21:00
RAOFdirecthex: Yeah.  Sync from experimental!21:05

LaneyCan anyone spot a problem with this: pbuilder-sid create --othermirror "deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian experimental main contrib non-free" - I get "E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI)"21:38
mok0Laney: looks sane to me. Perhaps it's another line21:42
LaneyMaybe I'll use pbuilder directly21:42
* Laney smites it21:42
RAOFYou've aware that you can just do a pbuilder-experimental create, right?21:42
mok0Laney: use cowbuilder!21:43
LaneyRAOF: I was not.21:43
RAOFExperimental is a supported dist for pbuilder-dist; it pulls in sid + experimental.21:43
mok0cowbuilder is much faster than pbuilder21:44
LaneyRAOF: I'm using pbuilder-dist.new. Let's see if it likes that21:44
* mok0 feels ignored21:45
Laneymok0: Sorry, I'm not ignoring you. It's just that RAOF is giving me answers that don't require me to learn a new tool :P21:45
mok0:-) It's more-or-less the same21:45
Laneyis there a cowbuilder-dist?21:46
Laney"Warning: Unknown distribution «experimental»."21:46
Laneybut it still seems to be doing ok21:46
mok0Laney: except cowbuilder doesn't need to unpack the tar archive first21:46
LaneyOh, yeah that takes a couple of seconds21:46
mok0Laney: it uses a create-on-write filesystem21:46
RAOFCan you make cowdancer build on a tmpfs?21:47
Laneymok0: Does it implement pbuilder's interface, roughly?21:47
mok0RAOF: I haven't tried21:47
LaneyOh, that's the point of cowbuilder. I see.21:47
mok0Laney: yes, it's almost the same, except for one option21:47
mok0Laney: you need to specify --base-dir instead of --base-tgz21:48
RAOFBecause that's the biggest pbuilder optimisation I've seen.  As long as I don't try to build something that saps too much memory ;).21:48
LaneyI should get around to fixing my schroots to use a local apt cache.21:48
* RAOF used squid for that.21:49
RAOFCool.  So, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau builds (and works) with unmodified Jaunty libdrm.21:50

RAOFTime to update experimental's nouveau snapshot, polish the dkms nouveau-kernel package, and get some review.21:51
ajmitchRAOF: great, is it useful?21:51
Laneymok0: Maybe you could port pbuilder-dist{.new} in ubuntu-dev-tools to cowbuilder? ;)21:52
Laney{,.new}*21:52
RAOFajmitch: Depends on what you want.  If you want 3d, no.  If you want fast, featureful 2d, yes.21:52
ajmitchRAOF: of course I need 3D :)21:52
mok0Laney: It wouldn't be a huge project... I've just made my own little script21:52
LaneyI imagine it would mostly be s/pbuilder/cowbuilder/21:53
mok0Laney: yeah21:53
RAOFajmitch: Nouveau's 3d got merged into the main mesa repository, so it's getting a little more love; you could try that :)21:53
LaneyRAOF: pbuilder-experimental works. Win!21:54
mok0\O//21:54
mok0Have any of you tried adopting an orphaned Debian package?21:56
ajmitchRAOF: so in 12 months I can play WoW? :)21:56
RAOFConcievably ;)21:58
ajmitchI expect there'll still be a lot of work to do21:59
RAOFIn 12 months time?  Probably.21:59
RAOFGah.  New mesa won't build because we don't enable dri2 in X.21:59
RAOFOr maybe because we have an obsolete dri2-proto.  Who knows.22:00

Laneydirecthex: How do you testbuild mono stuff? :(22:34
RAOFLaney: Hm.  Mine Just Worked(tm).  I don't suppose sid+experimental is broken atm?22:43
LaneyI guess so22:43
directhexLaney, test things in experimental? i had to tweak my pbuilder to pin experimental to the same as sid22:57
