pwnguinif debian fixes a bug in their BTS, and we sync the package, is that sufficient to close the bug?02:50
crimsunpresuming "the bug" refers to a bug registered in lp, yes02:52
pwnguinyes, sorry, a bug reported in lp (bts changed theirs on upload)02:52
crimsunand presuming "sufficient" implies "i can now close the bug", yes. (i don't know of a method to automatically close bugs on syncs)02:53

yann2hello :)15:45
jpdsbonjour yann215:46
yann2I need someone to be approve me in the ubuntu-member group in launchpad.. I've been approved at some point in 2005, and then asked for that group thing again in 2006, but it somehow never got done15:46
yann2I got IRC logs to prove my point? :] (thanks for logging years back) http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/index.php?title=UbuntuWiki:MeetingLogs/CC_2006-05-02&variant=zh-hans (search for yann)15:46
jpdsyann2: You didn't renew it on time?15:49
yann2jpds > renew? I think I've never been a member.. I didn't even have a launchpad account at the time :/15:49
yann2can't really remember to be fair, I think ubuntu-members got created after i first got approved, and the second time mako forgot, can't really remember - never found any use for it until now, trying to add a blog to the planet :)15:51
persiayann2, Best bet would be to attend one of the RMB meetings and present your history.  The Ubuntu Member admins are usually present at those.15:52
savvashttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards15:53
yann2http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2005/10/31/%23ubuntu-meeting.html  if that helps15:54
yann2savvas > you think I need to reattend? i just wrote a nice new year's post :'(15:54
savvasjust reattend to be re-approved, it shouldn't be that hard with your proof :)15:54
persiayann2, The trick is 1) getting your statement to the attention of an admin of the Ubuntu Members group, and 2) doing so in a way that that admin can have confidence in peer review of their review of the docs.15:55
savvasweird, i thought they have a channel15:57
jpdsthekorn: Well, this is just weird, filing to staging only creates one bug, while the real thing makes 5.15:58
persiasavvas, No, there's no special membership board channel.15:59
persiayann2, If you really can't attend, you could just send mail to your regional board: the RMB secretary might add you.15:59
yann2where can I find the email address for that?15:59
persiaWhich region?16:00
jpdsEMEA.16:00
yann2europe16:00
persiastrange: the addresses don't seem to be posted anywhere.16:01
jpdsI suggest writing to the CC, they'll add you with the proof.16:02
yann2that's what  email address? :P16:02
thekornjpds, hmm, really? that's strange, why five, looking at the code I don't see how this could happen16:03
jpdsyann2: community-council @ lists .ubuntu .com16:03
jpdsthekorn: I think someone changed something on the LP side.16:03
yann2I'll give that a try thanks16:03
thekornjpds, ok, let me have a deeper look16:04
savvaspersia: nevertheless, i think some of them hang out at #ubuntu-meeting right?16:04
jpdsthekorn: Thanks.16:04
savvasI wonder if they would accept me heh, I filed once, but failed to stay on the meeting for long time until my turn came :\16:05
yann2ok mail sent; thanks for your help persia and jpds  :)16:12
jpdsyann2: De rien.16:12
thekornjpds, sorry, I cannot confirm this behaviour of py-lp-bugs, all the bugreports I created were filed once16:13
jpdsthekorn: Very odd indeed, then.16:13
jpdsthekorn: Maybe it's a problem in edge, should I force HTTPCONNECTION.MODE.STABLE?16:18
thekornjpds, ok, I'm able to reproduce this by running requestsync,16:20
thekornlet me try to understand how this tools works16:20
jpdsthekorn: You have all the time in the world :)16:22
Adri2000ah, you're looking into that bug, great :)16:34
Adri2000btw, happy new year everyone!16:35
jpdsAdri2000: Likewise!16:35
Adri2000crimsun, pwnguin: re to what you were saying a few hours ago: if a debian changelog contains LP: #nnnnnn, that bug will get automatically closed when syncing16:37
thekornjpds, ok, I understand now why this happens, but I'm not sure if it is an issue in py-lp-bugs or in launchpad16:40
jpdsthekorn: Why is it happening?16:44
thekornjpds, I'm adding a comment to the bug now with an explaination16:44
thekornjpds,  launchpadbugs.HTTPConnection._safe_urlopen() is somehow broken,16:45
jpdsthekorn: Achso.16:46
thekornjpds, have you ever seen this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/97716/  it happens when I try to run requestsync in a virtualenv17:01
jpdsthekorn: There's a common.py file in the lp:ubuntu-dev-tools.17:02
thekornhmm, the path to common.py is hardcoded in requestsync :(17:02
jpdsIt's suppose to be added a line before..17:03
thekornyeah, but I don't have u-dev-tools installed on my system17:03
thekornwell, not in /usr/share/ubuntu-dev-tools/17:04
jpdsHmm.17:05
thekornthe easiest solution would be to move it to the ubuntutools package17:07
jpdsI don't think we use that packge.17:07
thekornso setup.py will handle it properly17:07
thekornjpds, I suggest a fix like in lp:~thekorn/ubuntu-dev-tools/fix_import_common (see diff of last revision), this is how it works for me17:24
jpdsRainCT: Can you take a look at the above when you have time^. Thanks.17:25
jpdsthekorn: Launchpad still needs to publish it..17:27
jpdsthekorn: I think the problem with that is that there are people who were against having a python-ubuntutools package.17:30
thekornjpds, I don't understand much about packaging, but this package=... in setup.py should not create a seperate (source)-package, it is just a python package17:40
thekornalternatively you can leave common.py where it is and put something like py_modules=['common']  in setup.py17:42

blueyedI want to merge a package from Debian experimental.. AFAICS it's not provided on merges.ubuntu.com or DaD. Is the script which provides the automerge available somewhere?21:23
ScottKNot AFAIK.  You get to do it by hand.21:24
* pochu always does merges by hand21:24
Adri2000blueyed: DaD and MoM are both open-source, but not easy to set up and not designed to produce a merge for a single package. so the easiest way would probably be to do it by hand as ScottK said21:24
blueyedThanks. So I guess I need some help. I have the latest Ubuntu source and the new Debian source.. now I need to apply the differences between the diff.gz's to the new source, right? Would I use interdiff for that?21:26
ScottKblueyed: I'd unpack both packages and diff -ruN the debian dirs in both and that'd give you a clean patch to work from.21:27
ScottKAssuming no direct changes in the upstream source, of course.21:27
ScottKDear emgent: Please be fixing your web server again.21:29
crimsunAdri2000: yes, if the changelog contains that syntax, yes. however, if it _doesn't_, then there's nothing that i know of that automatically marks the lp bug fix released. i suppose one could say that a bzr commit with the --lp syntax does.21:57

hanskasebner: so, once here, what should I do?23:02
hanskasebner: (we'll do that tricky thing some other day :))23:02
Laneyhanska: Whenever you update your package in Debian, you can file a sync request to get it into Ubuntu once you've tested it builds and runs. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess23:03
Laneybut be sure to respect freezes etc23:04
hanskaLaney: ack23:04
Laneyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule23:04
hanskaLaney: DebianImportFreeze is the deadline for syncs, right?23:05
Laneyhanska: Nah, that's just when automatic sync stop23:05
Laneyyou can still ask for them manually up until FF23:05
hanskaah "automatic"23:05
Laneyand after FF if they fix bugs and have no new features23:06
hanskaFF FeatureFreeze?23:06
Laneyyeah23:06
LaneyQA only after that is the idea23:06
sebnerhanska: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers :D23:06
hanskauhm, ok23:07
hanskaAFAICT, Ubuntu works differently from Debian, right?23:07

hanskathe packages are all maintained by MOTUs23:07
hanskano one has "own" packages23:08
Laneyright23:08
RainCTtrue23:08
hanskak23:08
ScottKAlthough informally if you see someone has done a lot of work on a particular package, you might want to talk to them before changing something.23:08
hanskayep, ok23:08
* hanska is a Debianer :)23:08
* ScottK understands - does a fair amount of work in Debian too.23:09
hanskaScottK: the fact is, I want to effectively reduce the delta between packages I'm maintaining in Debian and their respectives in Ubuntu23:10
ScottKhanska: Excellent.  That's in the interest of both distros.23:10
hanskai.e.: doing synchronized releases, fixing bugs reported in BTS/LP, ...23:10
* Laney has recently discovered the fun of updating packages in debian23:11
hanskaLaney: eheh, go work on -mono, GO!23:11
* Laney is writing an application to a certain council............23:11

hanskaeheh23:13
hanskaI'm going to file my first sync request23:14
hanskahope I get it right :)23:14
Laneyhanska: There's a "requestsync" script in ubuntu-dev-tools23:14
Laneymakes life easier23:14
ScottKhanska: But be sure to file it with -s so it'll show up needing sponsor review.23:14
hanskaok23:15
ScottKhanska: Feel free to ping me for a review after you've filed it.23:15
hanskaLaney: that's not in Debian :)23:15
LaneyScottK: requestsync autodetects that now23:15
* hanska goes to packages.u.c23:15
ScottKLaney: OK.23:15
ScottKNevermind about that bit then.23:15
hanskauhm, depends on python-launchpad* which we don't have either :/23:15
Laneythat bit is broken anyway23:16
Laneyhack it out and use the email interface23:16
* ScottK has never used anything but the email interface.23:16
hanskauhm, will do that tomorrow23:17
hanskatoo late to think :)23:17
jpdshanska: Just don't use the --lp flag for now.23:17
hanskajpds: I can't install it, I would need to get the .dsc, hack python-launchpad-bugs dependency out, rebuild the package and dpkg -i it.23:17
jpdsLaney: It autodetects but if the user wants they can specify -s to force it.23:17
jpdshanska: Oh you're on Debian, Isee.23:18
hanskajpds: and that's too much work (even though rather easy) to do at ~00.20 here ;)23:18
Laneyhanska: I'll just give you the script if you want23:18
ScottKhanska: Or just grab the source package and use the script from there.  It's just python script.  Doesn't actually need a lot of installing.23:19
hanskaLaney: not tonight, really :)23:19
Laneyright23:19
hanskascottK, good catch, just didn't know the package, so... :)23:19
jpds(Actually he'd need lpbugs cos the script looks up the package's bug list for existing reports.)23:19
ScottKhanska: Just in case I don't get the chance later ...  Thanks for showing up and worrying about a downstream distro.23:20
hanskascottK, np, Debian's social contract says #4 says "our priorities are users and free software"23:22
hanskascottK: so, effectively, I'm doing that just for end users. Be them Debian, Ubuntu, Sidux, Mepis, ${other Debian "downstream" distribution}23:22
