TheMusoRAOF: You no longer have stuttering with your notebook hda and pulse? AWesome. Likely somethign to do with pulseaudio being updated last week.00:52
RAOFTheMuso: Indeed.  Yay!00:54
TheMusoRAOF: Thats great!00:55
iahello. if configure script requires some lib package for compilation, then binary version of lib should be enough, or -dev version also should be installed?01:27
jmarsdenia: If the code ebing compiled will use the library, you are likely to need the -dev package.01:29
jmarsdens/ebing/being/01:30
iajmarsden: ok.01:31
pochuia: you need the -dev package too, as it will have the .pc file which configure looks for01:31
iaanother question. looks like it's a cycle process - i edit control file and add build-depends packages, runs pbuilder, at "configure" step script shows ordinary error, which tells, that one more package necessary for compilation, i edit control file and add this package name, run pbuilder again and so on... does exist some way (or script, maybe) which look through config* files and just shows all package deps at one time in one line? of course, i use dh_make01:41
ia, but looks like it doesn't take into account all requiring packaging deps.01:41
jmarsdenia: There's no automatic way to translate from the filenames a configure script uses to Ubuntu package names, that I know of.01:42
Hobbseeia: often websites will tell you what you need to build them01:42
jmarsdenBut you can perhaps read the README or INSTALL file that comes with the original source tarball and add most of what it will need from a requirements list you may find in there?01:42
Hobbseethat too01:42
RAOFIf you can read autofoo, configure.ac + apt-file can give you a lot of pointers.01:43
iaok, thanks very much for answers :-)01:45
jmarsdenIs it OK to ask for something from Debian experimental (yui 2.6.0) to be synced into Jaunty?  Or does the package have to be in sid before it can be synced?02:06
RAOFjmarsden: It's OK to sync from experimental, and it's happened a lot more this time 'round, what with the Lenny freeze and all.02:15
RAOFjmarsden: Just make sure that it's not in experimental because it's /experimental/ :)02:15
jmarsdenRAOF: Cool, thanks, I'm testing it now on Intrepid, but it looks fine to me so far.  It's needed as a prerequisite for webgui, a web app/CMS I am hoping to get into Jaunty...02:16

brownianmotionHi folks, I'm trying to backport a package (virtualbox-ose 2.1) from jaunty to intrepid, but having some troubles...06:03
slytherinbrownianmotion: what trouble?06:03
brownianmotionslytherin: it doesn't build. http://paste.ubuntu.com/103777/06:04
brownianmotionkmk fails in what I assume is an unexpected way.06:04
superm1i havent looked at the build log, but kmk might need backporting too possibly06:05
brownianmotionI'm using the source from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/2.1.0-dfsg-1ubuntu2 and dpkg-source/dpkg-buildpackage06:05
slytherinbrownianmotion: have you made sure all the build dependencies are available in intrepid?06:05
brownianmotionOh. Hmm...06:05
brownianmotionHad problems with the build-deps initially, but now I've gone through the dsc and added everything.06:05

hyperairwhen a source tree has files copyrighted by the same person, but with varying years, do i have to list all of them?08:48
hyperairas opposed to just path/* Copyright: <lowest year>-<highest year> Somebody08:49
iulianWhy is ubuntu-dev a member of the revu-uploaders team in launchpad? Do we still need the revu-uploaders team? REVU is now using OpenID and the GPG key will be automatically retrieved from launchpad.08:54
dholbachiulian: which keys will be automatically downloaded from LP?08:54
* hyperair feels ignored08:55
dholbachhyperair: just mention all the years in the same line, that should be fine08:56
dholbachif there's a 2004-2006 and a 2005-2008, just mention 2004-200808:56
iuliandholbach: "This team is no longer necessary, as now that REVU uses OpenID through Launchpad it will retrieve your key once you log in for the first time."08:56
dholbachhyperair: don't feel ignored that easily - IRC is an asynchronous medium - it sometimes just takes a bit08:56
dholbachiulian: so you have to have logged in first before you upload a package to it, is that right?08:57
iuliandholbach: Yes, you will need to log in before uploading a package.08:58
dholbachiulian: looks like the team then is truly obsolete08:58
dholbachiulian: we can close it down by filing a launchpad answers ticket08:58
hyperairdholbach: alright thanks08:59
iuliandholbach: Anyway, just to be sure, we should talk to some revu admins, like RainCT.08:59
hyperairdholbach: what about if the Copyright contains something like.. Copyright: ... Mj<F8>lner Informatics09:00
hyperairi'm pretty sure the <F8> shouldn't be there09:00
dholbachtry finding out what the name really is - I don't know, sorry09:00
iulianhyperair: You shouldn't change it if it's copyrighted under that name.09:02
iulianhyperair: Better talk to upstream.09:02
iulianSome archive admins might get upset and reject it.09:02
liwchanging it to the corresponding character in unicode is perfectly fine09:04
liwhyperair, see latin1(7) to see if F8 in iso-8859-1 charset would match what is intended09:05
hyperairliw: just did a google search. turns out "Mjlner Informatics" exists09:05
hyperairwithout the character <F8>09:05
hyperair       370   248   F8     ø     LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE <-- this?09:06
liwthat might be because google or some web page has dropped the f8 letter, though09:06

slytherindholbach: you don't need to 'be logged in' in revu for an upload. You just need to login once so that your key is synced. And as iulian suggests the revu uploaders is obsolete now.09:25
dholbachslytherin: yeah, that's what I gathered09:25
persiaObsolete, but perhaps still interesting until after 21st July.09:25
slytherinpersia: why?09:26
persiaBecause we don't have the other side of the code that is used for the key syncs, so it's currently an incomplete open implementation.09:26
persiaIf something goes wrong during the updates to LP, we may need to revert to the group.09:26
persiaAfter 21st July (or thereabouts), we should be able to see the code changes before they land, and coordinate, which makes the group less meaningful as a fallback.09:27
slytherinoh, you mean the open sourcing of LP. :-)09:28
persiaRight.  Currently we have a reverse-engineered solution, which works, and a fallback to a differently reverse-engineered solution.  I don't see the point of dropping the fallback until we really know we don't need it.09:29
slytherindholbach: do you plan to include anything specific to CDBS in your session in UDW?09:29

karoogahi, my package doesn't have the necessary licences in the src tar.gz.  Upstream is no longer replying to emails.  What would be my next step to get the package included?19:27
huatssuperm1: hey19:30
huatssorry to bother19:30
huatsI just saw cody-somerville post, and since I am the one who did the gnome-keyring package I wanted to help if I can...19:30

thekornhello anakron19:32
anakronhi all19:36

ubottuUbuntu bug 315725 in slingshot "Menu launcher not created when Slingshot installed." [Undecided,New]19:36
anakroni have some problems with this bug19:36
anakronbecause when i download source code i can't find any make file or something like this19:37
anakronit's just run it with python19:37
anakroni wanna change a desktop file to add it right to menu19:37
anakronbut i dont know how i can test it19:38
jmarsden|workanakron: debian/rules is a Makefile... if you put the .desktop file under /debian and make sure debian/rules installs it, you should be all set, right?19:40
anakronits all in order19:40
anakronbut when i saw the main folder19:40
anakroni saw debian/ README.TXT and slingshot/19:41
anakronand readme tells that if you want to install it you must move to a folder19:41
anakron...19:41
anakronso i can't test in that way if my .desktop file was ok19:42
anakronnow ill replace older slingshot.desktop file in my installation with ubuntu with the new one19:42
jmarsden|workanakron: This is already packaged software... so installing it is done by dpkg, right?  So look at what the package does, and any maintainer scripts under debian/ ... you test by rebuilding the package (edit debiab/changelog of course) and then install your newly built package... just like any other package...?!19:43
superm1huats, are you familiar with the upstream changes in the upload per chance?19:43
anakronyes19:43
anakron:)19:43
superm1huats, spectacular :)19:43
anakronnono19:43
anakroni was answering jmarsden|work19:44
superm1oh whoops, anakron looks nothing like huats, wonder how i read that wrong19:44
superm1huats, so grab me when you are back19:44
huatsI am here19:44
huats:)19:44
huatsnot very present but here :)19:44
huatssuperm1: so your question was regarding the upstream changes ?19:45
superm1huats, yeah, are you familiar with them?19:45
huatsa bit19:45
jmarsden|workanakron: So it sounds like you were reading a README that was for the original unpackaged sources, you can ignore info about how to install from such a README, it is obsoleted by the Debian/Ubuntu packaging.19:45
huatsbut not enough to tell you why it is broken19:45
superm1huats, well it appears that there is a process of GKD that is going defunct.  i'm not sure if it normally forks another process or how they get started19:45
anakronok thanks19:45
huats(oups I did a wrong copy/paste there)19:46
anakronjaja19:46
anakronok thanks19:46
jmarsden|workno problem19:46
huatssuperm1: I can't tell19:46
huatsthe update has been quite problematic since the upstream has a lot of problem doing a clean release19:46
huatsthe 2.25.4 was broken19:47
superm1what do you mean by "clean"?19:47
superm1oh similar types of problems then?19:47
huats(I showed them the problem)19:47
huatsthen they produced a .1 that also fails to build correctly19:47
huatsbecause of unfinished code in it19:47
superm1ha wow.19:47
huatsand then upstream revert it without a new release19:48
huatsthat is a patch I applied19:48
huatswell the release was messy :)19:48
huatssuperm1: may be you should contact the upstream author19:48
huatsdo you want is email address ?19:49
huatshe is responding overnigh usually19:49
huatsovernight19:49
superm1huats, well i filed a bug, so as long as they are responsive to that, that should be sufficient19:49
huatssuperm1: ok19:50
huatstell me if I can do anything19:50
huats(or send me an email I am not around...)19:50
superm1huats, perhaps you can help with getting a debug trace for this.  i'm not sure how we can grab one since it's only the process on login it happens, and i think gkd isn't ptrace'able19:50
huatsok I'll try to do that19:50
huatsI can't do it right now19:51
huatsbut during the evening probably19:51
superm1huats, sure.  you can grab the latest daily xubuntu or mythbuntu image from cdimages.ubuntu.com and boot it up in a virtual machine or real machine.19:51
huatsI'll connect my self then19:51
superm1either of them will show it19:51
huatssure19:51
huatsI'll do that19:51
huats:)19:51
superm1great thanks.19:52
huatsmail me if anything occurs19:52
huatsthanks19:52

randomactionHello. I have a couple of packages (namely, wget and cvs) that are used by the "get-orig-source" target of debian/rules. Everything, however, builds from source without them (even in pbuilder). Should these packages be listed as build-dependencies?19:57
slytherinrandomaction: nope19:59
slytherinrandomaction: get-orig-source is not run on build server so no need to add those dependencies.20:00
randomactionThanks :)20:01
anakronhi20:25
anakronhow i can get my private gpg if im other place20:25
stefanlsdanakron: u need your private key with you20:26
anakronmmmm interesting20:26
iulianRainCT: I talk to dholbach this morning about the revu-uploaders team in Launchpad.  REVU uses OpenID now and I believe the team is no longer needed.  What do you think? Should we remove it?20:26
anakronits relevant if i sign with a differente key?20:26
stefanlsdanakron: depends what you are signing and for who. launchpad prob has your other key only.20:28
anakronyes20:28
anakronbut i can upload it20:28
anakronand then launchpad can recognize it20:28
stefanlsdanakron: not sure if lp can do that, but i dont see why not. #launchpad will prob give u more info20:30

apwhi there.  if the sponsorship process talks about how to present a fix for a package in terms of debdiff, if the fix is for a package which is lp bzr hosted there is no guidance as to what to do with your updated branch once it is ready20:45
jmarsden|workapw: Good point, james_w would have a definitive answer... I'd suggest that you provide a link to your updated branch in the LP ticket, where you would nornmally upload the debdiff.20:50
Laneyapw: You can propose branches for merging20:50
apwwhich of those would be the recommended way, link or propsing for merge?20:52
Laneyproposing it is the semantically correct way20:57
cody-somervillerhpot1991_laptop, Looking at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythexport/trunk/revision/44 it seems that more than just a few dependencies being added occurs20:57
ScriptRipperwho can help me with some multitarget .deb packaging for combi debian and ubuntu source pkg?21:10
pochu!ask21:10
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)21:10
ScriptRipperI was not sure if i am in the correct place, that why i asked to ask a question :)21:11
ScriptRipperBuild-Depends: debhelper (>= 5), quilt (>= 0.40), binutils (>= 2.16), .... lots of other pkgs ..., etherboot21:15
LaneyIf you just ask then you either get an answer or get pointed to a better place to get an answer :)21:15
ScriptRipperbut only on debian. on ubuntu, i dont need etherboot dependency.21:15
ScriptRipperin my debian control file.21:15
ScriptRipperon debian i need to skip or something else.21:16
ScriptRipperhow do i do that?21:16
ScriptRipperso it is a packaging question for the control file in a source pkg....21:17
RAOFI can't think of a way.21:17
LaneyYou can generate control in the clean target, but it's not very nice.21:17
RAOFLaney: If you want people to go _mental_ looking at your package, I guess :)21:18
Laneypkg-gnome does this for the uploaders field21:18
RAOFWow.21:18
ScriptRipperis it general practise to have multitarget pkgs which "if" ed dependencies for .deb?21:19
directhexScriptRipper, iffed for what reasons?21:19
ScriptRipperif debian do this, if ubuntu do that...21:19
LaneyScriptRipper: What happens if the etherboot depd is left in?21:19
directhexScriptRipper, ah, right.21:19
Laneydep*21:20
directhexScottK-desktop, best option is using a pipe in the deps - e.g. xulrunner (>= 1.9) | xulrunner-1.921:20
directhexbah21:20
directhexScriptRipper, ^^21:20
ScriptRipperit tells me no etherboot pkg on ubuntu...21:20
directhexScriptRipper, second best bet is generating control (e.g. OOo does this)21:20
Laneyer, we have etherboot21:21
ScriptRipperlet me check why it tells me no etherboot then...21:21
Laneydo you have universe enabled in your pbuilder?21:21
directhex        500 http://mirror.ox.ac.uk intrepid/universe Packages21:21
* Laney burns ox.ac.uk21:21
ScriptRipperLaney: ah, i dont have.21:22
directhexLaney, it's quite fast on my office machines21:22
ScriptRipperi use main, not universe or multiverse...21:22
Laneythat'll do it21:22
ScriptRipperis that uncommon to use main?21:22
directhexmain is one of four repos, with a specific content set21:23
LaneyI think you have to pass --components to pbuilder to get universe21:23
Laneybut don't quote me21:24
directhexLaney, or set OTHERMIRROR?21:24
ScriptRipperhow is it organised? do the 3 others sit on top of main, or do the 3 sit on top of each other?21:24
Laneyright21:24
Laneyothermirror probably works21:24
ScriptRipperwith its pkg meta data?21:25
directhexScriptRipper, main contains Free software "properly" supported by canonical employees, with priority security support & extra special care taken for things like regressions etc21:25
directhexScriptRipper, universe is everything else that's Free - community supported things21:25
ScriptRipperdirecthex: ah.21:25
ScriptRipperand multiverse?21:25
directhexrestricted is canonical-supported, non-free. multiverse is community-supported non-free21:26
Laneypackages in main have to (build-)dep only on stuff in main21:26
ScriptRipperdoes it sit on main or universe?21:26
ScriptRipperor as i like it?21:26
ScriptRippere.g. any combination?21:26
LaneyYou need main for restricted and universe for multiverse and main for universe21:27
directhexmain is required21:27
directhexehm... yes. /me hands Laney a bucket of commas21:27
Laneyhaha21:27
LaneyI started typing that before I knew how it would end21:27

ScriptRipperyou were very helpful. looks like I need no if in the end :)21:29
ScriptRipperI found also the construction "xulrunner (>= 1.9) | xulrunner-1.9" very interesting, because i can use that also from case to case...21:31
LaneyYou know, if you could have got away without the build-dep on Ubuntu, is it really necessary?21:31
ScriptRipperLaney: it is not, you told me...21:34
LaneyScriptRipper: But you thought you could do without it21:36
ScriptRippersorry, yes, *i dont need an if*21:41
ScriptRippertry to find out now why pkg contains etherboot dependency at all...21:41

SilverBulletGuys, just to let u know of tje GetDeb Founder João Pinto Interviewed => http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=&hl=pt-PT&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pplware.com%2F2009%2F01%2F12%2Fentrevista-a-joao-pinto-getdeb%2F&sl=pt&tl=en22:06
ScriptRipperis it common practise to build a package by default against main or universe?22:06
SilverBulletsorry about the google translation, but i think it can be understanded22:06
RAOFScriptRipper: It depends on the package; the heirachy is basically main -> universe -> multiverse.  In the archives, a package may only build against its own component or higher (so, Universe builds against main+universe, but main only builds against main).22:37
RAOFScriptRipper: For 3rd party packages, build against whatever you like.  You'll almost certainly want to be building against universe, though.22:38
ScriptRippersorry, i missed maybe some part.22:38
ScriptRipperdo universe pkgs get security fixes?22:38
jdstrandScriptRipper: yes, from the community22:39
ScriptRippernot matter, the ubuntu delivered qemu is in universe. so my qemu-svn needs also to build against universe for the same reason...22:40
ScriptRippersame build requirements for the pkgs...22:41
