xivuloncjwatson, please remind me, on 252900 will that be fixed in apt?01:39
xivulonIIRC you mentioned that a fix was not possible01:41
=== cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson
cjwatsonxivulon: I'm not going to close the bug against dpkg, but I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix there; I can almost guarantee that upstream is not interested09:04
CIA-3partman-target: cjwatson * r746 ubuntu/ (3 files in 2 dirs):13:17
CIA-3partman-target: Escape spaces, tabs, newlines, and backslashes in fstab according to the13:17
CIA-3partman-target: procedure described in getmntent(3) (LP: #38224).13:17
CIA-3partman-base: cjwatson * r131 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog lib/commit.sh):14:24
CIA-3partman-base: Don't display the Back button when asking for confirmation, since it's14:24
CIA-3partman-base: already a boolean "do you want to continue?" question and we ignore14:24
CIA-3partman-base: backup anyway (LP: #9244).14:24
shtylmancjwatson: quick question requarding the build process (just for my info):  I see then everytime I rebuild, templates need to be sorted again...is there a way to cache that? has that ever been thought about?14:25
cjwatsonno, sorry14:27
cjwatsonI'd rather just make it faster than mess about with caching ...14:28
shtylmangotcha14:29
shtylmanthats fine...I was just curious14:29
shtylmando you work on the debian installer as well? or just the ubuntu side?14:29
cjwatsonboth14:30
cjwatsonI've been working on the Debian installer since before Ubuntu existed14:30
shtylmandamn14:30
shtylmanoh...so the gtk and kde frontends share the same pixmaps now...should I move that over to the ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork.install file?14:34
shtylmanotherwise there are conflicts when installing both (if someone chooses to do so...for some reason)14:35
cjwatsonyeah, if they're sharing files that sounds right; make sure to include an appropriate Replaces field when moving files between packages14:59
cjwatsonevand: any progress on bug 292159?15:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 292159 in linux "MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive. " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29215915:10
evandcjwatson: it's very much on my list for next week (just trying to get a mobile team request for a dd'able images option in usb-creator sorted today).  This past week was heavy last minute feature work so I didn't have a chance to sort it then.15:15
cjwatsonI know the feeling; OK, thanks15:15
evand:)15:16
superm1evand, can you double check about bug 331642?  i think it's a duplicate of bug 328281, but veronica can only test DVDs in the factory image and they're all out of date15:19

evandsuperm1: sure, I'll check it out15:25
superm1thanks15:25
shtylmanwhen I run the dch command, the email it keeps using is my <login name>@<hostname> ... can I change that somewhere to use my real email?15:39
cjwatsonman dch15:41
cjwatsonand search for mail15:41
shtylmaneh...damn...I thought I had looked all over...thanks15:42
cjwatsonsuperm1: hmm, I wonder what's wrong with DVD builds16:39
cjwatsonoh, language pack conflicts16:41
cjwatsonslangasek was working on those16:41
cjwatsonok, seems as though they've just been repeatedly unlucky16:42
* evand was just about to build a new dvd livefs, after accidentally triggering a regular one16:50
superm1evand, even when one is successful i'm wondering if the ubiquity on it will be functional though.  i thought some of the partman stuff in the current version in the archive isn't functional (but you've fixed in bzr)18:37
evandIs there a specific changelog entry for what you're referring to?18:40
superm1yeah the one that touched os-prober18:40
superm1fixed sending part -> part[0] and device -> str(device)18:40
superm1sorry it's in ubiquity code.  ubiquity/misc.py and ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py18:40
evandThat shouldn't break anything though, it just means that you'll see /dev/sda1 instead of "Windows XP Professional".  It didn't trigger an exception.18:41
superm1the lack of str(device) was raising a TypeError18:41
evandoh, good point18:41
evandhrm18:41
evandshtylman: Have you filed bugs for a feature freeze exception for your kde_ui work?18:42
evandsuperm1: Once we can get the nod on the changes for 1.11.13 from slangasek I'll give it an upload18:43
shtylmanevand: some of the kde_ui work got in before the freeze, but I have not filed for any exception yet18:43
shtylmanonce I make some more changes I will commit them and then file for the exception...is that a good plan?18:44
evandIndeed, thanks18:45
evandWe can always do more uploads, so no worries about getting everything in one go18:45
shtylmanevand: was a decision made on skipping the language step?18:46
evandshtylman: I think we're going to leave it as is.18:47
shtylmank18:49
evandI'd like to get rid of it.  It doesn't make sense to me to choose the language twice, but it's equally a pain to have to reboot if you change your mind on what language you want.18:49
evandPerhaps a welcome screen that's always displayed (rather than just for the Alphas) with a language drop down is something to consider for the future, but I don't think we have time for such a discussion past feature freeze in jaunty :)18:50
shtylmangotcha18:52
shtylmancjwatson, evand: I realize that I stepped in kinda late for this release, but for the next one I deff still want to help out and be more involved with the installer. What would I need to do for that? just stick around the channels when discussions start?19:02
evandJust stick around :)19:03
evandYou'll eventually get made part of ~ubuntu-installer, and then you'll have direct commit access.19:03
evandI would strongly suggest you apply for sponsorship to UDS, if you can make it.19:04
evandAs that's when we discuss what's going into the next release in depth.19:04
evandshtylman:  http://www.jonobacon.org/2009/02/19/announcing-the-karmic-koala-ubuntu-developer-summit/19:06
shtylmanevand: gotcha...and sponsorship gets you space in the summit? or the full deal? yea..I hope to stick around...I am learning alot about the packaging process and how all the development happens, its great19:10
evandIf you're sponsored Canonical pays for your flight out, hotel room for the duration, and provides lunch as well as a per diem for dinner.19:11
evandGotta run though, dinner time.19:11
evandIf you want to learn lots about packaging, hang out in #ubuntu-motu19:12
shtylmanthanks19:12
evandAnd work through their documentation to become a MOTU, it's a step on the path to becoming a full core developer.19:12
cjwatsonfolks can turn up to the summit without being sponsored of course19:34
cjwatson(assuming enough funds, like your average conference)19:34
shtylmanI see19:35
