| direw0lf | Thx | 02:39 |
| direw0lf | question: Should a feature request for an upstream application (in this case, a gnome applet) be forwarded to the upstream bug tracker, or placed on our own wishlist? | 03:05 |
| maco | direw0lf: yeah, forward it | 03:05 |
| direw0lf | thx | 03:07 |
| tcole | generally we try to upstream stuff when it is reasonable to do so | 03:12 |
| direw0lf | I was looking at the gnome bugtracker and they don't seem to have a category for enhancements | 03:13 |
| direw0lf | nm...found it. | 03:15 |

| MrKanister | I was about to make a small debdiff to fix a typo in "ubuntu-docs". Now I am confused because in the changelog there is no <version>-ubuntu1. the last versions are just 8.10.2, 8.10.1, 8.09.2, 8.09.1, etc. So what version shall I give the fixed package? | 20:25 |
| hggdh | MrKanister, what version did you base the diff on? | 20:26 |
| MrKanister | on the latest in Jaunty (8.10.2) | 20:27 |
| hggdh | then base it on 8.10.2. It should be OK | 20:27 |
| MrKanister | so I just add a 0-ubuntu1 ? (as dch -i suggests) | 20:28 |
| MrKanister | i mean -0ubuntu1 | 20:29 |
| hggdh | yes, for example. Did you propose the patch upstream? | 20:29 |
| MrKanister | not yet | 20:29 |
| hggdh | huh, my bad, ubuntu-docs is ours... | 20:30 |
| MrKanister | thats the problem :) | 20:30 |
| hggdh | then you can just send in the diff; the maintainer can then decide on which version it will build (it will probably be 8.10.3, or something like it) | 20:31 |
| hggdh | 0ubuntu1 (and similar is for our changes to upstream | 20:32 |
| MrKanister | hggdh: Thanks. A diff was already there (bug #285484). I thought making a debdiff could help having less work, but seems I should take another bug | 20:33 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 285484 in ubuntu-docs "Typo in serverguide" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/285484 | 20:33 |
| hggdh | is your diff about the same issue? | 20:35 |
| MrKanister | Yes. I was looking for some low hanging fruit. And fixing typos in packages seemed a good start. | 20:36 |
| MrKanister | I made a small debdiff for another package and it got uploaded to jaunty within hours :) | 20:37 |
| hggdh | then you have two options: (1) if you are changing part of the other diff, then add an updated diff to the bug; (2) if you are dealing with a different aspect, add a new diff | 20:39 |
| MrKanister | I didn't want to change something because the patch works fine. I just wanted to make a debdiff that can directly be applied to the latest package and probably uploaded to Jaunty. The problem is the versioning | 20:42 |
| hggdh | ah, OK | 20:43 |
| hggdh | you can then make it for 8.10.3, and propose | 20:43 |
| MrKanister | Ok, thanks a lot. That was what I needed :) | 20:44 |
| Lupine | This should be a WishList: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/313173 | 21:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 313173 in openoffice.org "impress depends on draw" [Undecided,New] | 21:57 |
| crimsun | Lupine: done | 22:00 |
| Lupine | anybody have a default/stock response (or common practice) of asking a bug reporter to update to latest stable Ubuntu and try the issue again? | 22:08 |
| Lupine | or is the practice discouraged, and we should really try to duplicate their issue on let's say a VirtualBox install of older Ubuntu versions? | 22:09 |
| hggdh | Lupine, if the issue was on a quite old release, then yes, we might ask to try on an up-to-date | 22:10 |
| hggdh | use, for example, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Old%20untouched%20bugs | 22:10 |
| Lupine | even if it's not "that" old...8.04 for example? | 22:11 |
| hggdh | hum. Can you reproduce it? | 22:11 |
| Lupine | nope | 22:11 |
| Lupine | and that link of responses is GREAT btw, thanks! I've been looking for something just like this | 22:12 |
| hggdh | what is the bug? | 22:12 |
| Lupine | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/312931 | 22:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 312931 in gnome-control-center "gnome-appearance-properties crashes when the image is not of the expected format" [Undecided,New] | 22:12 |
| crimsun | Lupine: i normally ask them to reproduce on a live cd of jaunty | 22:23 |
| hggdh | hum. Opened it, and got mesself a sigsegv... | 22:23 |
| Lupine | crimsun, thx I'll make a note of that, and keep that in mind | 22:24 |
| hggdh | and it would be good to have a stacktrace also | 22:24 |
| Lupine | hggdh, that's weird, and you are running 8.10? | 22:24 |
| hggdh | I am running Jaunty | 22:26 |
| hggdh | but I do not know what caused the segv, I just opened it and went to arrière-plan | 22:26 |
| hggdh | darn! apport is broken! | 22:27 |
| hggdh | OK, I am retracing it locally. | 22:29 |
| Lupine | what exactly is the PNG -> JPG file he/you are using that causes it to crash? | 22:30 |
| Lupine | guess that's why I can't dup it | 22:30 |
| hggdh | heh... none at all... literally | 22:31 |
| Lupine | so weird | 22:31 |
| hggdh | I had the 3 that come standard | 22:31 |
| Lupine | thx for the link though, will help out for future bugs | 22:32 |
| hggdh | OK. the one I was using was a single-colour black | 22:32 |
| hggdh | but it is shown as "no image" (aucune papier peint) | 22:33 |
| hggdh | Lupine, I tried with a bad jpeg, and did not get an error | 22:54 |
| Lupine | sounds like I should just ask the reporter to try and dup it with an up to date LIVE CD | 22:55 |
