alex_21Hello, is someone available to answer some questions?01:00
lifelessis there a project for revu, for filing bugs?02:41
lifelesshttp://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=sourceryvsipl%2B%2B - can't comment on this package02:41
StevenKlifeless: Apparently you can02:42
StevenK"December 15 03:40  [REVU Profile for lifeless]  lifeless"02:42
StevenK"Please address the automatically generated issues. Also you have created a native package - it should be ’non-native’. Just renaming your FOO.tar.gz too FOO.orig.tar.gz before you build the source upload is enough."02:42
lifelessStevenK: interesting02:43
lifelessStevenK: the submit button ends up taking me to ...++02:43
lifelessrather than %2B%2B02:43
lifelessand says 'no such package or uipl', or some such02:44
StevenKlifeless: Right, that's a bug, but it still submits the comment02:44
lifelessso its nice it captures it and all, but its still got a bug :)02:44

ethana2I want to package the latest wizardpen release as a .dsc and put it to my PPA and REVU05:18
ethana2I ran into a problem with configure and contacted the dude, but I've never /created/ a debian package before and may need some help to supplement the guides05:19
jmarsdenethana2: Go for it.  If you need help on a specific issue, ask about that specific question here.05:21
ethana2jmarsden: k, I'll see where I get hung up after the dude upstream gets back to me about the configure error05:22

dholbachdirecthex: looks like we need to fake-sync08:29
jmarsdensoren: setools 3.3.5 built fine for me here (8.10 amd64).  How could I request an "official" retry of that build so that universe gets the 3.3.5 version for amd64?08:31
directhexdholbach, right.08:32
directhexdholbach, unless there's a new upstream release, i can get that pushed to exp if it exists08:32
directhexnein :/08:32

mok0nope16:26
pmjdebruijnI fixed my package: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=lensfun you anybody take a look?16:33
ScottKmok0: You need to have an entry in PAS (packages arch specific).16:37
DRebellionlifeless, thanks for reviewing cifer. You mentioned bumping compat to debhelper 6; would you mind elaborating on that?16:42
mok0ScottK: PAS?16:44
mok0ScottK: this application always fails on certain archs. I am wondering whether to leave it to FTBFS or limit the Architectures16:45
ScottK-laptopDoes it fail because it's buggy or inherently isn't for that arch?16:46
ScottK-laptophttp://buildd.debian.org/quinn-diff/Packages-arch-specific16:46
mok0ScottK: I don't really know... it's always failed ever since it was introduced16:46
fbondHi, it appears that old configuration files don't automatically get removed when a new package version that doesn't ship the file is installed.  Is it standard practice to handle this by removing the file in the postinst?16:47
ScottKWell I think that's the question you have to answer to know which it should be.16:47
mok0ScottK: Hm, yes that's what I was afraid of16:47
mok0ScottK: I am looking at bug 30675416:48

lifelessDRebellion: well, the debhelper compatability option sets what minimum version of debhelper to support, and can change defaults too;17:46
DRebellionlifeless, yes, but why 6 instead of 5?17:46
RainCTOT, has anyone ever heard that "browser" = "search machine"? :P17:47
lifelessDRebellion: we want the latest code and bugfixes. It may be for jaunty we should be raising to 7 even17:47
lifelessDRebellion: but I haven't checked that with the other MOTU's as yet17:47
DRebellionlifeless, what about backwards-compatibility for backports?17:47
lifelessDRebellion: backports are done by rebuilding the transitive runtime and build dependency closures17:48
lifelessthey aren't so much a 'backport' as a 'rebuild targeting the old suite'17:48
DRebellionlifeless, my point was that older releases aren't going to have the latest debhelper versions, so not depending on them is a plus, no?17:49
lifelessno17:49
lifelessbecause you turn off the better behaviour of newer versions17:49
DRebellionlifeless, what do you mean by "turn off"?17:49
lifelesssee compatibility levels in 'man debhelper' for details on what is turned off/on17:50
RainCT(tss.. English teachers. "labtop", "browser = search machine" and "hacker = evil". I should better sleep at class :P :P)17:53
DRebellionlifeless, I don't see anything in versions >5 that cifer depends on, but I've changed to compat 6 anyway.17:53
DRebellionwill be in revu shortly...17:53
RainCT(ah, and saying that "Dreamweaver is outdated and is less people are using it now" -.-)17:53
lifelessDRebellion: thanks; I got prompted by this conversation to query the motu list too regarding this.17:54
DRebellionlifeless, I look forward to getting this cleared up then ; )17:54
lifelessDRebellion: to answer the question regarding backports, any backport built for hardy will have debhelper 7 anyway17:54
DRebellionsebner, lifeless, I've fixed the issues; the new package is in revu: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=cifer .18:04
lifelessDRebellion: thanks. I've done my REVUing today, hopefully someone else will sweep by and comment further/advocate. There is a big backlog at the moment, and my person focus is to deal with the oldest first, to stop things getting really old :)18:15
DRebellionlifeless, no problem, thanks for your contribution ; )18:19
fabrice_sp_ScottK: about pose package. I'm still working on amd64 port, but it will be a huge patch (if it still works after porting)18:31
ScottKOK.  As I told mok0, I think he ought to go ahead with the one that fixes i386 and then later see your your amd54 patch works out.18:32

DimStarGood evening everybody.. I'm an author of the library libproxy and a ubuntu user reported an issue with compiling the lib, linking against mozilla-js on Ubuntu 8.10. Libproxy uses pkg-config in order to identify the location of include files, but apparently on Ubuntu 8.10, this seems not to reflect the reality. Is something like this known to you?20:40
Ahmucksomething i've noticed about the installers, is the text based requires you "attend it" because of more information needed during the install, whereas the gui only requires you to do it at the start of the install and then completes the install.  having a unified install sequence would be nice20:45
