AnAntHello, why is the xulrunner package not synch'ed with Debian ?11:44
AnAntI see xulrunner & xulrunner-1.9 source packages in Ubuntu11:44
AnAntI see xulrunner (1.8) & xulrunner-1.9 source packages in Ubuntu11:44
AnAntwhile the xulrunner in Debian (testing & unstable) is 1.911:45
asacAnAnt_: because xulrunner in debian is a mess ;)11:57
AnAnt_asac: ok, I have a problem, I need the libmozjs 1.911:58
AnAnt_asac: yet it does not exist in Ubuntu11:58
gnomefreaknone of our packages are synced from debian normall we push ours to debian at lease some of them11:58
asacAnAnt_: yes. thats intentional. libmozjs is not a first-class lib as there are no ABI/API guarnatees upstream11:58
gnomefreakok back to morning break11:58
asacwe will work on improving that together with upstream11:59
AnAnt_asac: well, is that the reason that in Debian libmozjs 1.9 is libmozjs1d (not 0d as in 1.8) ?12:00
asacAnAnt_: no. thats ok if it was underlined by an official upstream policy; the problem is that there is even no guarantee that 1.9.0.7 will have no ABI breakage over 1.9.0.612:01
asacso debian tries to track ABI/API (like you said with libmozjs1d ...), but nobody has a plan what happens if a security update breaks it12:01
asaci think its unlikely that this happens, but we have to stay hard so upstream starts thinking about proper ABI procedures for mozjs12:02
asacAnAnt_: didnt we talk about all this before?12:02
AnAnt_asac: we did ?12:03
AnAnt_asac: we talked about firefox plugins before12:03
AnAnt_asac: extensions that is12:03
AnAnt_so, Debian guys weren't hard about that matter, right ?12:04
asacAnAnt_: yes. its most likely ok. but not suitable for our main archive12:05
asacAnAnt_: also if we do that we break upstream binary compatibility too12:05
asacwhich debian doesnt care about either12:05
asace.g. stuff build against debian mozjs wont work with upstream builds or anywhere else12:06
asacAnAnt_: so the goal is that upstrea mozjs gets proper so version and ABI/API policy12:06
asaconce thats there we will make mozjs a standalone packjage12:06
asacAnAnt_: which app needs mozjs?12:07
asacAnAnt_: if its for universe you can use the approach google-gadgets took -> e.g. use a glue12:07
AnAnt_asac: elinks (for javascript support)12:07
asacbut thats not suitable for main12:07
AnAnt_asac: it's a special build that I do by myself12:07
AnAnt_asac: neither the debian nor ubuntu packages of elinks enable javascript support12:08
asacAnAnt_: i would suggest that you robb the google-gadget glue code ... in that way your builds will work on all distros that have a proper xulrunner build12:08
AnAnt_asac: what do you mean by "use a glue" ?12:08
asacAnAnt_: look in google-gadgets12:08
asacand what they do12:08
asacAnAnt_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/116019/12:09
asacthats in google-gadgets. you need to steal them, build and link them statically against your stuff and maybe adjust the codec12:09
asacwell ... most likely12:10
asacif you are not a developer you need to ask upstream about that12:10
AnAnt_steal them ?12:10
AnAnt_isn't it GPL ?12:10
AnAnt_or so12:10
asaclook at the files. stealing == copying12:10
AnAnt_ok12:11
asac(without breaching licensing of course)=12:11
AnAnt_in this case, I won't need to get mozjs 1.9 ?12:12
asacAnAnt_: you need to depend on xulrunner-1.9 then ... yes.12:15
AnAnt_huh ?12:16
AnAnt_oh, ok12:16
asacAnAnt_: http://identi.ca/notice/2208082 ... hope we get a solution for jaunty+112:36
gnomefreakasac: i got to thinking about patch in SM2. if i edit it in /mozilla/ it wont apply. i'm fairly sure we cant edit it in our debian/patches dir. and if so autoconf will fail(i think) is there an easy way around this?12:48
asacgnomefreak: sorry ... let me fix12:50
gnomefreakok12:50
asacgnomefreak: ok committed ... rev 19212:52
gnomefreakthanks. damn that was fast12:53
asacgnomefreak: i had it fixed here ... just forgot to committ on friday12:55
gnomefreakah12:55
asacit was just a strip-leve thing in the patch12:55
gnomefreakok gonna let it build ill be back to check on it in a bit.13:28
AnAntasac: thanks for the help, I decided that the glue would be too much, so I fixed the upstream code to be compatible with mozjs 1.8 (I just had to comment a single line)13:46
asacAnAnt: well 1.8 will die now ;)14:07
asacit has to be removed from #jaunty14:08

ftajcastro, hm, it's flat, my bot is not able to use it as it is19:27

james_wyeah, I'm still drafting it :-)19:27
jcastroah, he's here. :p19:27
james_wI was going to chat to you when I had something ready to look at19:28
jcastrook I just wanted to make sure you were both aware of each other19:28
james_wit sounds more and more like you've already done it all though :-)19:28
ftai had the daily PPA in mind for a long time, even before PPA ever existed, even before i joined ubuntu19:28
ftawell, i have two scripts doing all the work, with a few requirements19:29
asaci would think that our scripts are as of now quite tailored to the way we do maintain branches and how our get-orig-source is implemented19:30
ftai need a package maintained in bzr, and if it's not native, it should have a get-orig-source target that knows how to fetch and name a fresh tarball, and it should be mergeable with bzr bd --merge19:31
ftathat's all about it19:32
asacfta: ok. so what is next is probably a quick "probe if something new exists"19:32
ftait does that too19:32
asacso you dont need to pull full sources in case there is no fresher tarball19:33
ftaright19:33
asacfta: is that probe quick? is that available as a separate "functioN" ?19:33
ftano19:33
asacno function or not quick? ;)19:33
asac?19:33
ftanot separate and in fact, it's still pulling the sources, preferably from a local branch, before it realizes there's no new snapshot available19:34
ftayet, it still checks for updates in the packaging branch19:35
asacfta: yeah. i think when thats fixed without pulling sources we could ask james_w to provide hooks so we can plug-in your logic at some point in his "full ubuntu" thing19:35
ftaso the debian branch from jcastro doesn't fit, it doesn't work for the bzr bd --merge step19:35
asacjames_w: in your plans: do you have a quick-probe for new stage? or are you using "get latest" and then check whether thats newer than existing?19:36
ftaasac, not sure, my stuff is half in shell, half in perl.. I think james_w wants 100% python or something19:36
james_wasac: don't know19:37
ftahttps://code.edge.launchpad.net/~fta/+junk/ppa-scripts19:37
asacjames_w: can you comment on that? do you need everything to be reimplemented in python?19:37

asacso preferably != mandatory ;)19:38
james_wit will be useful to have access to bzrlib for one thing19:38
fta(you can ignore build-ppa.pl for now, it's not used by the bot)19:38
james_wwell, it's mandatory I guess19:38
ftayeah, i figured that out a long time ago, lp = python19:38
james_wthanks for the scripts though, I'll look at how they work19:39
asacjames_w: is it realistically that we get mozilla daily builds within a year?19:39

asacnow that we have our own, i dont really think its urgent ;)19:40

asacbut #gwibber crashing isnt really good imo ;)21:21
BUGabundolots of my Apps crash21:22
BUGabundowhen I have HUGE IO21:22
BUGabundopidgin, gwibber, kmail, blablalbla21:22
BUGabundobad coding I guess21:22
BUGabundoI should file bugs against that, but it would fall under wish bugs or something21:23
ftathat's also my view of bugs in lp, they won't move unless you move them yourself. sad21:24
BUGabundoyeah21:25
BUGabundoif I really care for a bug, I have to nag the QA team or the mantainers21:25
BUGabundoand I really hate to nag ppl21:26
BUGabundo_as you have found from what I do here on the # _21:26
asacerrr ... "Microsoft's decision to limit Windows 7 Starter Edition to running only three concurrent applications"21:28
ftareminds me of windows 2 :)21:29
asaccrazy21:29
BUGabundoROFL21:29
asaci mean i thought windows 7 could really be a good thing and compete with ubuntu21:29
asacbut now that i read this ;)21:29
* asac wonders how users feel when the first dialog pops up stating: "ETOOMANYAPPSRUNNING: select which one to kill: firefox, word, skype"21:30
asacor icq + skype ;)21:30
ftahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Windows_2.0.png21:31
asacthe firefox/IE -> done21:31
asacnow open word -> ETOOMANYAPPS21:31
asacor even chrome: open 3rd tab -> two many processes running ;)21:31
asaci think now i get why windows 7 will be less resource hungry and better suitable for netbooks ,)21:31
asacits similar to thought we had for the classmate PC and restricting ffox to just have 3 tabs ;)21:32
asacbecause 4 tabs would cause the system to lock down due to mem consumption21:32
asacamazing21:32
ftahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_1.0 => that's LTS ! Release date: November 1985, Unsupported as of December 31, 200121:32
asacheh21:33
asacdepends on what "support means" ;)21:33
asacmost likely "hey, i have windows 1 and have this problem; A: please upgrade to windows 2"21:33
asacnow its "hey, i have windows 1 and have this problem; a: we dont support windows 1 anymore (hangs up)"!21:34
asachttp://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/246859/windows-7-a-nonstarter-on-netbooks.html21:34
asac"Microsoft says the restriction is designed to ensure that users get the best possible performance from limited netbook hardware."21:35
asachah21:35
asacjust like i said for the classmate21:35
asacjust that MS is either incompetent or pretending21:35
ftamore likely, "hold on, we're sending you a sales squad by jet"21:35
asacprobably ... but only if you have more thatn 100 installs i guess ;)21:35
* asac dancing21:50
asac~ubuntu-mozilla-security PPA is getting converted to a non-virtualized PPA ;)21:50
asacright now21:50
asacwith all archs even !!!!21:50
asacfta: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa O_O21:51
asaclook!21:51
asachppa + powerpc sparc ia64 ... all spinning21:51
ftahmm21:52
ftait's not a regular ppa then21:52
asac22:50 < asac> ~ubuntu-mozilla-security PPA is getting converted to a non-virtualized PPA ;)21:53
asacfta: ^^21:53
ftaoh, good for you21:53
BUGabundo1humm the PPAs were/are virtual machines?21:55
asacyeah21:55
asacxen instances afaik21:56
asacthey get trashed after every build for security reasons21:56
ftayep, xen21:56
asacsandbox etc21:56
BUGabundo1great21:57
BUGabundo1didn't know21:57
ftaand the same hardware could be used for PPA or re-assigned to build other stuff, on-demand21:58
asacfta: what do you mean?21:59
asacafaik xen isnt available on all the other archs21:59
ftathe list of ppa machines varies as they get preempted for other tasks21:59
ftaso they come and go in the list of builders22:00
asacah yeah. most likely each xen instance has a name22:00
ftahttps://edge.launchpad.net/+builds22:00
asacheh. everything idle except my builds22:01
ftabut not on the ppa machines, you're in the "Official distribution build machines"22:01
asacright. thats what i ment22:02
asacwell the ppa builds have bunch of idle too22:02
ftadepends, it's sometimes crowded22:02
asacyeah. most likely when folks start to build their own kernels ;)22:03
asacoh there is a intellinuxgraphics-2008q4 ppa22:03
ftaand they also keep dep-wait forever, there are hundreds now, retrying every 30min22:03
asacat least i see it building22:03
asacfta: how do you get that list?22:03
ftawhich list?22:03
asacfta: list of dep-wait packages22:04
asacso you can say "hundreds"22:04
asacor are you guessing from what you see on +builds?22:04
ftathere's no public list, I just watch this page often enough22:04
ftai'm not really guessing, i can see the queue refilling itself twice per hour with the same packages22:05
ftaand when i click, some are retrying since 200722:05
ftai asked 10+ times the lp guys to do something about it, nothing happened22:06
ftait's a waste of resources22:06
ftait's not green :)22:06
asacfta: yeah22:12
asaclets file a bug: "PPAs contribute to environmental hazard"22:13
ftap-a is a total mess right now22:30
asachmm22:41
asaci have my boxes connected to PS3 ;)22:41
asacfta: does alsa alone work?22:41
ftanot for everything22:42
asacwell. i mean except for parallel streams ;)22:42
ftamy testbed is openarena or mplayer while building something22:48
ftawith the new p-a, the sound from openarena is being rate limited22:53
ftaW: ratelimit.c: 305 events suppressed22:53
