yao_ziyuani'm curious about how ubuntu checks upstream packages for security breaches.01:52
yao_ziyuanfor example, if we install chinese language support in ubuntu, "stardict" will be automatically installed.01:52
yao_ziyuanstardict is maintained by someone in mainland china. he was my msn buddy and i know he is politically trustworthy,01:53
ScottK-laptopRiddell: Would you mind doing binary New on mlt++.01:53
yao_ziyuanbut what if it's someone in china/russia we don't know?01:53
\shyao_ziyuan: who tells you that any dev/packager is political correct? Just because of the country he/she is living?01:54
yao_ziyuanright01:54
yao_ziyuanso is there any mechanism to check?01:54
\shyao_ziyuan: tbh, this thinking is so wrong...01:54
yao_ziyuantbh=?01:55
vorianto be honest01:55
\shto be honest01:55
yao_ziyuanis there peer review of source code?01:55
\shthe community01:56
yao_ziyuanbut it is possible that stardict's source code is never reviewed by someone else?01:56
yao_ziyuanbecause it's not a standard component01:57
yao_ziyuanit is only installed when chinese language support is enabled.01:57
\shyes...but that could happen to openoffice as well01:57
ScottK-laptopyao_ziyuan: It's free software, the source is available so anyone can review it.01:58
yao_ziyuanso it's easier to plant a backdoor in open source projects than in wikipedia01:58
ScottK-laptopI don't think that follows.01:58
yao_ziyuan*than to vandalize in wikipedia01:58
ScottK-laptopActually it's quite trivial to get false information into Wikipedia.  It just needs to be on an obscure topic.01:59
yao_ziyuanin wikipedia, if an article is of little interest to the public and is not watched by anyone, then it's very likely that vandalism to it is not caught.01:59
\shyao_ziyuan: yes and no...using windows, you already have backdoors you don't know...but01:59
ScottK-laptopRight, commercial software vendors outsource coding to all kinds of places and there is no way to know or check.02:00
\shI don't know any source which was doing something nasty and wasn't revelead in no time02:00
yao_ziyuani do believe microsoft reviews every line of code02:00
ScottK-laptopyao_ziyuan: Why do you believe that?02:01
ScottK-laptopAnd how do you know what they review it for?02:01
yao_ziyuanmicrosoft easily has money to hire people to do the review02:01
ScottK-laptopYour definition and theirs of acceptable might be widely different.02:01
ScottK-laptopMicrosoft is in the business of making profits.02:01
ScottK-laptopIt's not in their interest to spend more on code than they need to.02:02
yao_ziyuanok02:02
\shyao_ziyuan: why do you think it's so difficult for the EU government to get hands on the source of MS Windows? (actually theyhave now for a good bunch of the code, but not all, especially the cryptographic stuff is problematic)02:03
yao_ziyuanok skip microsoft02:03
ScottK-laptopToday almost all large commercial software development is done by doing the design and specifications in house and outsourcing the actual code to the lowest bidder.02:04
ScottK-laptopI've done consulting work for one large anti-spam vendor that did all their coding in the Ukraine.02:04
yao_ziyuanok, let's focus on the original problem02:04
\shwe hire nearshoring companies from romania02:05
yao_ziyuanif we have a malicious author02:05
yao_ziyuanwho creates and maintains a package02:05
yao_ziyuanthe packages seems to work fine02:05
yao_ziyuanand ubuntu includes it02:05
yao_ziyuanand even installs it by default02:05
ScottK-laptopBut someone has to decide to include it.02:05
ScottK-laptopIf it's installed by default (in Main) there is at least some security audit done.02:06
yao_ziyuansomeone decides to include it because it seems useful and working02:06
yao_ziyuangood to hear that02:06
ScottK-laptopGotta go put a kid to bed.  Back in a bit.02:06

cbraww crap kwin is using 80% cpu12:58
cbri better reboot or something, the laptop's fan is going nuts12:59
cbrnice.. and now suspend to ram won't work in jaunty :(13:16
hungercbr: You can sudo pm-suspend. That still works.13:16
hungercbr: kpowersave does as well. Every other GUI seems to be broken though.13:17
cbrnope, sudo pm-suspend doesnt work13:22
cbrthe screen goes black as if it's going to suspend13:22
cbrbut then suddenly the picture reappears13:22
cbri dont remember updating anything power-management related13:25
cbrugh..13:25
cbrthis is rather frustrating.. will power management ever work fine on linux13:27
hungercbr: Apparently ubuntu policy requires two power managment breakages per release.13:27
jtechidnalol13:28
ScottKjtechidna: Three for Kubuntu.13:28
cbri dont know, my mum has ubuntu on her laptop, seemed to look well, i think kde is the problem child13:28
cbr*seemed to work well13:29
hungercbr: Well, ubuntu and kde do not really go well together IMHO. ubutu has a very gnomish base:-(13:29
jtechidnaof course :P13:29
cbrwell, i'd use debian but debian doesnt ship new kde packages as fast as kubuntu.. or puts them in the experimental repo which is somewhat annoying to use13:30
cbraltogether, debian gave me a more solid experience though.. maybe not shipping the new stuff, is why :p13:31
cbrwhy can't we have the good from both worlds13:31
hungercbr: Yeap, I've been entertaining the thought of heading back to debian for a while now.13:31
hungercbr: Just don't find the time to actually pull it through...13:31
cbrit sucks that no major distribution is behind kde13:34
cbrthat would probably move things in the right direction a lot faster13:34
cbrbut i guess i can understand their motives as well.. they need a stable system, nothing too fancy, kind of like winxp.. something they can develop for and not worry that their code will be redundant in two years time13:35
cbrand gnome is good for that13:35
ScottK-laptopcbr: Which release are you one?13:35
hungercbr: Sucks much more that the gnomes come up with lots of really bad interfaces all the time:-(13:35
cbrScottK-laptop: jaunty13:35
hungercbr: network-manager, pulseaudio and other useless stuff.13:36
ScottK-laptopcbr: It's really not actually expected to work very well at the moment.  If you want working, run Intrepid (or even Hardy).13:36
hungerScottK-laptop: Those are no fun and all the packages are outdated anyway:-(13:36
cbryeah, if i'd want something stable and productive, i'd use windows :p13:36
cbri want the action :p13:36
hungerApropos pulseaudio: Why is that started in kubuntu? Breaks phonon here...13:37
cbrdunno, network-manager seems to Just Work (tm)13:37
cbrthey sodomized the kde interface though13:37
cbrso i'm using the gnome systray applet13:37
cbrwhich works fine13:37
ScottK-laptophunger: You can't have it both bleeding edge and stable.13:38
hungercbr: nm has really *CRAPPY* interfaces.13:38
cbryou mean the user interface?13:38
hungercbr: No, the programmers interfaces. D-Bus in that case.13:38
cbroh, i don't care much for that :p13:38
cbrthe gui is nice13:38
hungerScottK-laptop: I am not complaining too loudly about something breaking. Just told cbr how I work around the problem he has as well.13:39
ScottK-laptopOK.13:39
hungercbr: Well, it is so ugly that the kde guys wrote solid so they had not to deal with it...13:39
hungercbr: actually that is only part of the reason for solid of course.13:40
cbruhuh.. but nothing uses solid to control it.. the only useful thing that has come of the solid nm thingy is that apps are aware when the network is up13:40
cbrbut there's no control interface13:40
cbrwhich is kind of the point of nm13:40
jtechidnathat's because suse doesn't need a nm interface until they release the next opensuse :P13:41
jtechidna(a nm interface for KDE4)13:41
jtechidnaoh well, at least one will be ready for Jaunty13:41
hungerWell, there is a plasmoid in kde 4.2 for solid/nm AFAIK.13:42
cbrthat's a bit sad if you start to think about it.. KDE4 was released in jan 2008, will it be functional by jan 2009? i wouldn't bet money on it? by jan 2010? i would bet like 5 bucks on it but then it has been out for 2 years already.. that's like a lifetime13:42
cbrnot that it wasn't a welcome development and a necessary step and kde4 looks awesome an all13:43
cbrand*13:44
hungercbr: Will would have made much better progress if NM wouldn't suck so hard:-)13:44
hungercbr: NM-applet only works since it is the demo app the NM guys keep up to date IMHO.13:45
hungerWell, don't take me too seriously... I am stuck over my head in gnome "technology" and hate it. So my outlook is a bit negative at this time:-)13:45
ScottK-laptopcbr: Put it a different way ...  KDE4 has been being developed for ~ 3 years and is already a big step forward.  MS took 5 years to make Vista and take a step back.13:46
ScottK-laptopIn the scheme of things, I think KDE does pretty good.13:46
cbryes, but some of the developments are rather peculiar..13:47
cbrfor example strigi, nepomuk etc.. oh goodie, i can rank my files (dont know why i would want to do that but i can) but i can't connect to a wireless network nor control my display power management properly (up until 4.2)13:48
ScottK-laptopOddly enough, both those things work pretty much fine for me.13:49
jtechidnato be fair that's a narrow view of the purposes of those two frameworks are. Most of what they are purposed to do still hasn't been fully implemented yet (13:50
jtechidnasee also: semantic desktop)13:50
cbris that all the tagging stuff?13:50
jtechidnayeah, the base framework is there but there's not really any useful way to use the info13:51
jtechidnae.g. search integration into kfind or semantic browsing in dolphin13:51
cbrthat's another thing i dont get.. i know all the computer scientists like to play around with tags, rdf etc.. but i have never ever seen anybody actually tag their files.. except on youtube or flickr where it makes sense13:51
xerosiswhen I have a load of papers to read, I tag them as 'read' after I'm done, so at least one person does :)13:52
jtechidnait is also assuming that developers are absolutely fungible resources. The nepomuk dev is working on grant money to develop semantic/rdf technologies, and is by no means an expert in developing network manager type interfaces (not that he couldn't be if he wanted to)13:53
jtechidnahe is pursuing his hobby/job by developing nepomuk, and he probably wouldn't be working on nm even if he wasn't working on nepomuk13:53
jtechidnathough he probably would be working on the KDE4 k3b port :P13:54
jtechidna(since he's k3b's author also)13:54
jtechidnaSo yes, it's a bit frustrating when some areas are overlooked, but there's no simple solution or cause for blame13:55
cbryeah, a lot of thought was put to get the frameworks there.. but the apps on them were kind of completely forgotten13:55
cbrnot to blame the developers who did hard work, but that's how it is, there's no denying that13:56
cbrand i really like kde, so that saddens me a bit13:56
ScottK-laptopcbr: You're judging the building half built and complaining the top half isn't built yet.13:57
cbrhey, i was handed an apartment in that building and allowed to move in13:59
cbraren't i kind of entitled then? :p13:59
jtechidnaare you paying rent? :P13:59
cbrno, does that mean instead of stairs i should be happy with a nailon rope? ;)14:00
ScottK-laptopcbr: It means if you don't like the nylon rope you shouldn't have moved in.14:00
cbr*nylon probably14:00
ScottK-laptopKDE3 is around and still quite usable.14:00
ScottK-laptopWe updated Kubuntu Hardy to 3.5.10 post release exactly because not everyone will want to be on KDE4 yet.14:01
cbrbut my real estate agent said it was ready so i was happy to move into a modern house from the rather tasteless one i was living in14:01
ScottK-laptopWe rather explicitly said KDE 4 is not for everyone yet, so I don't buy that analogy.14:02
cbrwell, to be honest, that was said after the first disappointing reviews of the soon-to-be-released 4.0 were coming out.. and nobody said that about 4.114:04
cbri'm not blaming again, i just feel like arguing at the moment :p14:04
ScottK-laptopcbr: I disagree.14:07
ScottK-laptopcbr: Our release announcement explicitly says you may not want to upgrade: http://www.kubuntu.org/month/2008/1014:08
cbryeah, i know kubuntu did, i was talking about upstream14:09
cbrkubuntu made the best of the situation, i imagine14:09
ScottK-laptopUnless you're installing from their tarballs, I don't think that's really relevant.14:09
cbri tend to think of distributions as binary repositories.. the thought of them actually being separate OSes with release cycles etc is kind of strange to me14:11
ScottK-laptopWell we do a lot of integration work here that gives a more polished product.14:12
cbrmaybe that's because i started off with gentoo and that pretty much didnt have releases, they were basically just snapshots of the current tree.. i'm a spoilt child :p14:12
cbranyway, i'm hungry, i hope the shop has some of that delicious tuna salad14:13
cbrbye14:13
ScottK-laptopSo the bottom line of that conversation was, "Like wow, you guys actually do stuff"?14:19
directhexi think it was "why isn't jaunty released yet?"14:22
ScottK-laptopI want the very latest and I want it to be polished, stable, and complete.14:25
directhexi blame google14:26
directhexthey broke the meaning of the word "beta", causing people to expect pre-release code to be complete & polished14:27
jtechidnaI think we're very lucky that KDE3 got to the point where an svn snapshot could be considered polished, stable, and complete in the first place14:27
ScottK-laptopI recall about 10 years ago being in a meeting where we were reviewing the status of a program.14:32
ScottK-laptopI mentioned to the program manager that there is an old program management saying, "Better, cheaper, faster: Pick two" and I thought he just had (cheaper, faster).14:33
ScottK-laptopHe told me that no, he'd figured out how to do all three.14:33
ScottK-laptopAbout a year later the program was cancelled because there was no way it could meet its objectives.14:33
jtechidnaHeh,14:35
seeleRiddell: what was i pinging pinotree for again?14:36
ScottK-laptopjtechidna: Got time to look at a Cmake problem for me?15:01
ScottK-laptopIf you do, please grab http://debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/k/kdenlive/kdenlive_0.7-0.0.dsc (You'll have to adjust the libavcodec-dev and libavformat-dev versions for our ffmpeg versioning) and tell me why it can't find MLT?15:03

seelei can't risk running beta on my work laptop.. i wish there was a way to create an additional kde installation like neon15:17
Riddellchroot15:17
seelewhat's that?15:18
hungerseele: chroot moves / into some subdir.15:19
hungerseele: You can install e.g. a new ubuntu with kde 4.2 into /home/test and then chroot into that dir.15:20
seelewaiting until i get home and use my test machine sounds easier15:20
hungerseele: tse, tse, tse. All those young people don't know their unix anymore and don't want to learn it either;-)15:21
rgreeningseele, do you use vm's? as you can install a test image into a vm via virtualbox (its quite easy)15:22
hungerrgreening: Why a VM when a chroot is enough? VMs are much slower.15:23
seelergreening: ah, yeah.. i guess i can do that.. can you install just from an iso file isntead of burning it to CD?15:23
seelehunger: because clicking VirtualBox is easier than sysasmin black magic15:24
rgreeninghunger: vm isn't actually that much slower, and allows saving states to test and rollback, etc15:24
seele*sysadmin15:24
rgreeningseele: yes15:24
hungerseele: Yes, you can ask virtualbox to mount a iso image and to present it as a CD.15:24
* rgreening likes voodoo black magic and black magic chocolates15:25
hungerrgreening: snapshots are indeed a good reason to prefer VMs:-)15:25
rgreening:P15:25
hungerrgreening: Of course you can do the same at least on FS level with a bit of LVM magic for chroots:-)15:26
rgreeninghunger: if you have lots of time to waste15:26
ScottKBut keep in mind you're talking to a usability engineer, not a professional sysadmin.15:26
* rgreening likes quick and simple15:27

ScottK-laptopYou only react so strongly because it's true.18:13
nixternalHobbsee: you are sitting next to me, talking vista trash, yet you are stickless...I think that is even scarrier since I think you could fit inside of one of my shoes :p18:13
Hobbseeno, my stick is just hidden....18:14

Hobbseenow there's an idea...18:15
seelenixternal: youre coming to visit? whoo18:16
seelenixternal: why the hell are you coming when it's cold?18:16
nixternalya, probably spend a few days out east18:16
ScottK-laptopseele: He's in Chicago, so it's warmer here.18:16
nixternalhahaha18:16
nixternalScottK-laptop: actually we found out DC was colder than Chicago earlier this week18:16
seeleScottK-laptop: it was warmer there last week :)18:16
nixternalthough we have over a foot of snow now18:16
seeleyeah.. you win18:16
ScottK-laptopRain here today.18:17
seeleRiddell: so theyre talking about removing the fontselector defaults and requiring the user to config hinting, etc.18:17
seelebecause i guess there is a bug they cant find and they have users complaining about the defaults18:17
seelethere is also a problem with firefox in gnome because gnome uses pango and ff uses fontselector and there is some bug they couldnt find that changes the hinting in firefox18:18
Riddellwhat do you mean by fontselector defaults?18:19
nixternalseele: funny you say that...with my gnome desktop at home, I have to admit, the fonts really suck...I totally love my font control in KDE 4...that is one thing I get the most compliments on at work actually...the KDE 4 fonts looking secksi18:19
apacheloggeruhhh18:19
seeleRiddell: i guess there are some default set for the different types of hinting and stuff?18:19
seeleRiddell: this is why you should have been here :P18:19
jtechidnaQt4 font hinting is supposed to be broken :P18:19
jtechidna(and fixed for Qt 4.5 or so)18:20
apacheloggerRiddell: please tell cprov that a "delete all packages" feature would be very appreciated for PPAs, makes loads of sense for updates-testing18:20
tyfoncompared to windows fonts on my laptop, qt is doing excelent ;)18:20
tyfoni get rainbow effect in windows18:20
apachelogger<3 rainbow18:20
jtechidnaQt font hinting is "broken" in that it always uses full hinting no matter what the user has segt18:21
jtechidna*set18:21
apacheloggernow, why would someone not want font hinting?18:21
apacheloggerhm18:21
Riddelldoesn't work so well for CJK18:22
* apachelogger watches the build queue18:22
jtechidnasome might want medium or slight hinting rather than full hinting18:22
jtechidnayou know how some people are about fonts... :P18:23
jtechidna(e.g. every linux-trolling mac-fan on digg)18:23
apacheloggerreminds me of that bug report where people claimed font rendering is bad in kpdf/okular because it looks different than it does in other pdf viewers, while it was just using a different font :P18:25
jtechidnahehe18:25
apacheloggerNightrose: if my research is correct the neon issue I found yesterday ought to fix about every issue I can think of18:33
_Groo_hi/2 all18:33
apacheloggeressentially it makes KDE bug free ;-)18:33
apacheloggeraloha _Groo_18:33
_Groo_heya apachelogger18:34
_Groo_apachelogger: did you see my private msgs?18:35
* apachelogger thinks we should add a bzr branch for koffice as well18:36
Nightroseapachelogger: sweet18:37
* Nightrose hands apachelogger a cookie18:37
Nightroseseele: if you still have the problem i can look for the fix for you18:38
ScottK-laptopDo we have a KDE4 scanning application in Main?18:41
ScottK-laptopIt seems like that ought to be supported.18:41
Riddellskanlite I think it the only one18:41
RiddellI havn't tried it and it's not in main18:41
ScottK-laptopThat's Universe.  I just tried it and it works in Intrepid.18:41
ScottK-laptopRiddell: I think it ought to be in Main then.18:42
seeleNightrose: i didn't know what to do to fix it so i havent done anything :)18:42
RiddellScottK-laptop: remind us during the packaging session :)18:45
ScottK-laptopRiddell: I won't be around then.18:45
Riddellor add to agenda on https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuJauntySpecs18:45
ScottK-laptopI'll add it.18:45
apacheloggeradding it to main depends on it's quality18:47
apacheloggerI understand that it is a fairly young application, so I wouldn't be too sure it messures up to kooka's bugs yet ;-)18:47
ScottK-laptopIt works.18:47
ScottK-laptopAt least for me.18:47
apacheloggeroh, then it needs to go main18:47
ScottK-laptopI had to scan today for the first time since I upgraded to Intrepid and it automagically found my scanner on the network and everything.18:48
ScottK-laptopAll I had to do was click the scan button.18:48
Nightroseseele: http://groups.google.com/group/amarok-neon/browse_thread/thread/52aacf37ef7b05b818:48
apacheloggerScottK-laptop: a lot better than kooka then18:49
ScottK-laptopRiddell: Added.18:49
apachelogger*than even18:49
* apachelogger restarts X for new kde-nightly18:49
ScottK-laptopI may have the only scanner in the world it works with, but I'm happy.18:49

RiddellScottK-laptop: did you have something to add to that?20:16
ScottK-laptopRiddell: skanlite20:16
Riddelloh aye20:16
Riddellryanakca and apachelogger still have merges outstanding20:19
apacheloggerRiddell: merges?20:21
Riddellapachelogger: http://merges.ubuntu.com/universe.html20:22
apacheloggeroh dear20:22
apacheloggerall of them require testing in KDE 4 as well20:23
* apachelogger shudders20:23
nixternalanything requiring testing makes me shudder20:26
nixternalhaha, I love you Konversation people!!! <   Ramblurr!n=rmblr@amarok/developer/Ramblurr [SendQ exceeded]20:27
* Ramblurr uses quassel20:27
seeleRiddell: we should talk to the platform people and see if we can get the DISTRIB_ID to Kubuntu (says tedg)20:33
Riddellseele: never heard of it, do you know who to talk to specifically?20:36
nixternalRamblurr: then Quassel has the same issue with Konversation...which I patched 2 years ago, but it got tossed out20:40
Ramblurrnixternal: what is the issue?20:40
nixternalI can't remember anymore...it has been a while since I last played with it20:41
nixternalit always happened when you would join multiple channels that had a lot of people20:41
nixternaloh I remember now why it was happening20:41
nixternaleverytime you joined a channel, the client would send an auto whois to the channel20:42
nixternalif you that occurred on multiple channels which had a lot of people, the autowhois would cause a sendq flood20:42
nixternaliirc, I kind of utilized the way that Irssi was controlling their autowhois stuff and incorporated it...but one of the konvi devs wasn't game20:43
Tonio_Riddell: ping ?20:58

_Groo_hi/2 all21:48
_Groo_can anyone help me with sbuilder?21:48
_Groo_basically i want to know how to hook the pbuilder kubuntu hooks into sbuild21:49
_Groo_apachelogger: are you there? :)21:50
LaserJockanybody alive in here? :-)21:55
ScottKSure21:56
LaserJocksorry, got distracted21:56
LaserJockI'm wondering if there are any Kubuntu people who are intersted in Education21:57
LaserJockor could become interested :-)21:57
_Groo_im alive21:59
_Groo_anyone here is using sbuild instead of pbuild?22:00
LaserJock_Groo_: I do22:00
_Groo_Hi LaserJock22:01
_Groo_LaserJock: can you explain to me how do i enable the pbuilder hooks into sbuild?22:01
=== Riddell_ is now known as Riddell
_Groo_LaserJock: apachelogger told me to download from the bzr branch so i can have the missingfiles hook22:02
LaserJock_Groo_: hmm, I'm not much help there, I don't use pbuilder or sbuild hooks :/22:03
_Groo_LaserJock: how do you do to make sure you dont have missing files?22:04
LaserJock_Groo_: I'm not sure what you mean?22:05
_Groo_LaserJock: when you make a package, for instance, a new koffice2 beta 4 using the diff from beta3, how do you make sure the new package doesnt miss any files?22:06
LaserJock_Groo_: well, I check it22:07
_Groo_LaserJock: how do you check it?22:07
LaserJockI'd run dpkg -c on the .debs and compare that with the old version22:07
ScottK-laptopapachelogger, rgreening, Riddell: pitti just said he'd copy 4.1.3 to intrepid-updates shortly ....22:08
LaserJockI don't run into that case all that often so I don't bother automating it22:08
RiddellScottK-laptop: thanks, I asked him earlier in the week too so I guess we just keep poking until it happens22:09
_Groo_LaserJock: but if the files are missing in the new debs (because they are new and the diff didnt contemplate them), how a simple comparison would help?22:09
rgreeningYAY22:09
ScottKDid he actually say he'd do it before?22:09
LaserJock_Groo_: I would just have to figure out what *should* be there then22:10
LaserJock_Groo_: if you need to do that much I'd suggest getting ahold of apachelogger22:10
LaserJockas I don't have much help for you :-)22:10
rgreeningI saw him a few minutes ago, he said "hey, your the guy with all the KDE updates... so I guess changing the status got his attention :)22:10
rgreeningScottK ^22:11
_Groo_LaserJock: well thats what the pbuild missingfiles hook is suposed to do.. but since i use dbuild i dont know how to do it22:11
ScottK;-)22:11
LaserJock_Groo_: I'd look online and read about sbuild hooks, I know I've seen some helpful stuff before22:12
_Groo_LaserJock: ok, thanks22:12
* apachelogger just fell asleep22:13
apacheloggerway too awful22:13
apachelogger_Groo_: make -f debian/rules list-missing22:13
apacheloggerthe list-missing hook is meant to streamline the build process, but since you debuild anyway you can as well check for not installed files outside the chroot22:14
_Groo_ok, so i make the build dir, run a debuild -S, then a schroot file.dsc and finally a make -f debian/rules list-missing?22:14
LaserJockso when is 4.2 set to be released?22:14
_Groo_and if it finds any missing files, i change the debian/.install and do all over?22:15
apacheloggerrun debuild with -nc22:15
apacheloggerthat way it will not have to rebuild the whole stuff22:16
_Groo_apachelogger: yes i know, but im going to run schroot only in the "final" round?22:18
apacheloggerthat is how I would do it22:18
apacheloggerto ensure dependencies are correct and stuff22:19
