| Brucevdk | Hi, question, I'm using a PPA and say if I want to distribute two types of the same program (e.g. a stable version and an alpha version) should I change the control file to have something like programname-alpha? | 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| directhex | yes | 00:11 |
| directhex | and really you want a different name for the source package more than anything else, so it can coexist | 00:11 |
| directhex | on the ppa | 00:11 |
| Brucevdk | directhex: alright, I'm trying some stuff out, let's see if it works | 00:13 |
| Brucevdk | directhex: the packages should have seperate changelogs? | 00:24 |
| directhex | Brucevdk, assuming they have different source tarballs, that's mostly up to you | 00:25 |
| directhex | Brucevdk, but the names in the changelogs need to match the names in control | 00:25 |
| Brucevdk | directhex: not sure how to best approach this. This is the current situation: http://tinyurl.com/aqwwqu (the build_package.sh in packages/ubuntu) creates a temporary directory for building in tmp. | 00:31 |
| directhex | james_w, you're a very odd individual | 00:36 |
| james_w | directhex: thanks | 00:36 |
| directhex | now, make me a sandwich | 00:36 |
| james_w | I was quite surprised I wasn't the only one to have thought of that | 00:36 |
| james_w | No! | 00:36 |
| Brucevdk | wondering if I should just create three directories or so, one for each changelog and one for the common files then merge that using the build_package script at build-time. | 00:40 |
| Brucevdk | but I must be doing this wrong, because that just seems stupid | 00:40 |
| Andre_Gondim | I am trying to compile the amsn like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amsn/+bug/314805 but i recive this http://paste.ubuntu.com/121257/ what is wrong? | 00:42 |
| ubottu | Error: Could not parse data returned by Ubuntu: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/314805/+text) | 00:42 |
| directhex | Andre_Gondim, there's a problem? | 00:43 |
| Brucevdk | Andre_Gondim: maybe it's just me, but that's just ./configure no? (launchpad is a little slow) | 00:43 |
| weboide | Hi, I'm having an issue with package name conflict here (with Eina music player and lib-eina with eina as src name in debian). Anyone familiar with this kind of issue? | 00:45 |
| Andre_Gondim | Brucevdk, when i do make deb i recive http://paste.ubuntu.com/121259/ | 00:45 |
| Brucevdk | Andre_Gondim: sorry, compile errors aren't my game | 00:48 |
| Andre_Gondim | Brucevdk, ok | 00:48 |
| Andre_Gondim | does anyone know how to solve this problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/121259/ | 00:48 |
| Brucevdk | "Signer has no upload rights at all to this distribution." -- I'm an administrator... :-| | 00:49 |
| weboide | Andre_Gondim: this post shows on how to compile amsn 0.98b (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712425) | 00:51 |
| directhex | Brucevdk, are you committing to your PPA? | 00:51 |
| Brucevdk | directhex: yes, verifying my key right now | 00:52 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: you sure you're uploading to your PPA? | 00:52 |
| Andre_Gondim | weboide, thanks | 00:52 |
| * directhex high-fives LaserJock | 00:52 | |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: well assuming committing is the same as uploading, yes :-) | 00:52 |
| Brucevdk | oh, you mean if I'm absolutely sure | 00:53 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: well, sometimes it's easy to miss the "where to upload to" part of dput | 00:53 |
| Brucevdk | hold on | 00:53 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: which means you end up uploading to Ubuntu instead of the PPA | 00:53 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: are you supposed to end incoming with /ubuntu/ ? | 00:54 |
| Brucevdk | think I still managed to screw it up, it's missing ppa | 00:54 |
| directhex | fqdn = ppa.launchpad.net | 00:54 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: so you did put the location in your actual dput line though? | 00:54 |
| directhex | incoming = ~myusername/ubuntu | 00:55 |
| Brucevdk | it was incoming = ~nautilussvn/ubuntu/ | 00:55 |
| Brucevdk | changed to incoming = ~nautilussvn/ppa/ubuntu/ | 00:55 |
| Brucevdk | also the documentation said a unique signing key should have been generated, but afaik it hasn't (it's been at least more than week now) | 00:57 |
| LaserJock | good grief, "i don't know" is not a very helpful bug description :( | 00:59 |
| nixternal | lol | 00:59 |
| nixternal | LaserJock: mark it as fix released :p | 00:59 |
| LaserJock | the one before that is filed against edubuntu-addon-meta with the title "my ubuntu don't know what is docx format" | 01:00 |
| Brucevdk | just letting you know, it still got rejected with incoming set to ~nautilussvn/ppa/ubuntu/ | 01:00 |
| weboide | Is there anyone familiar with dealing with name conflict between a package already in repos and one that wish to enter? | 01:00 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: what was the command you ran? | 01:01 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: dput nautilussvn_0.12-1ubuntu1_source.changes | 01:01 |
| LaserJock | weboide: what's the package names? | 01:01 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: I'm guessing that's your problem | 01:01 |
| weboide | LaserJock: I have eina (a music player) and in debian repos there is eina (from enlightenment) as src name, libeina as bin name. | 01:02 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: you run dput as: dput <location to upload> <changes file> | 01:02 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: the default is to upload to the Ubuntu archives | 01:02 |
| LaserJock | weboide: so maybe eina-player | 01:03 |
| LaserJock | ? | 01:03 |
| weboide | LaserJock: yeah, I talked with enlightenment and they clear said "we won't change our name because of debian".. | 01:03 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: oh I assumed that was what incoming in ~/.dput.conf meant, so wait, what is <location to upload>. The help page just says: my-ppa | 01:04 |
| weboide | LaserJock: but now I need to know how deep the changes need to be in eina-player. | 01:04 |
| LaserJock | weboide: I wouldn't expect them to. The general rule is that the first one to the archive gets to keep it | 01:04 |
| weboide | LaserJock: hm okay, well, we lost :( | 01:04 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: well, what's the name of the PPA in your .dput file? | 01:05 |
| directhex | Brucevdk, the [ppaname] in dput.cf | 01:05 |
| LaserJock | weboide: seems like eina-player or something similar may work | 01:05 |
| weboide | LaserJock: I'm not sure if I just need to change the packaging of the orig.tar.gz or does the configure.ac needs changing too? | 01:05 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock, directhex: so just nautilussvn? | 01:06 |
| LaserJock | weboide: are the files named the same? | 01:06 |
| Brucevdk | right, looks like it | 01:06 |
| weboide | LaserJock: what files? | 01:06 |
| directhex | Brucevdk, if that's what the [heading] in dput.cf is called | 01:06 |
| LaserJock | weboide: the name of the actual programs? | 01:07 |
| weboide | LaserJock: well eina from enlightenment is a lib, so binary package is named libeina. | 01:07 |
| LaserJock | weboide: I'm not talking about packages | 01:08 |
| LaserJock | weboide: I mean the actual files that get shipped in the .deb | 01:08 |
| LaserJock | weboide: if there isn't a conflict you could just rename the package eina-player (in debian/changelog debian/control and rename the .orig.tar.gz) | 01:09 |
| Brucevdk | directhex, LaserJock: ok thanks guys, looks like that was it, I'm feeling a little bit stupid (but the docs really weren't that obvious, really ;-) | 01:09 |
| james_w | Brucevdk: try "dput ppa:~nautilussvn/ppa nautilussvn_0.12-1ubuntu1_source.changes" | 01:09 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: yeah | 01:09 |
| weboide | LaserJock: well, it's a quite simple package, usr/share/doc/eina, usr/lib/eina, usr/bin/eina. except there is also eina-dev which is /usr/include/eina or something. | 01:10 |
| james_w | Brucevdk: "dput ppa:nautilussvn/ppa nautilussvn_0.12-1ubuntu1_source.changes" sorry | 01:10 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: just be glad your not a developer and accidently upload something to the wrong place. it doesn't get rejected ;-) | 01:10 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: indeed :-) | 01:11 |
| LaserJock | weboide: your eina or enlightenment's eina? | 01:11 |
| weboide | LaserJock: mine | 01:11 |
| weboide | LaserJock: it does look like a real messy thing to check and make sure it's not confliction :( | 01:12 |
| LaserJock | really? | 01:12 |
| weboide | LaserJock: conflicting* | 01:12 |
| weboide | LaserJock: I mean the process | 01:12 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: should I be worried that the general signing key hasn't shown up yet? | 01:12 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: I wouldn't think so | 01:12 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: I think it depends on when you uploaded last | 01:12 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: you need to have one upload for it to start generating one? | 01:13 |
| LaserJock | weboide: all you should need to see is if the enlightenment package ships a /usr/bin/eina | 01:13 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: yep | 01:13 |
| weboide | LaserJock: okay | 01:13 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: that explains it ;-) | 01:13 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: the signing is triggered off an upload | 01:13 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: doesn't that mean I need to re-upload? Or is it going to be signed twice? | 01:13 |
| weboide | LaserJock: i've got a conflict with /usr/lib/eina/ | 01:13 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: oh wait, I didn't upload a binary | 01:13 |
| LaserJock | weboide: you'll rename that | 01:14 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: it'll just get signed | 01:14 |
| Brucevdk | LaserJock: so, you sign your source thingy with your own key, upload it, and then it signs the binary with the general key? | 01:14 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: you don't need to upload a binary | 01:14 |
| LaserJock | Brucevdk: right | 01:14 |
| directhex | Brucevdk, right | 01:14 |
| Brucevdk | right, alright, makes sense | 01:14 |
| weboide | LaserJock: would /usr/include/eina get renamed too then? | 01:15 |
| LaserJock | weboide: yep | 01:15 |
| LaserJock | weboide: the packaging should take care of all that basically | 01:16 |
| weboide | LaserJock: okay, so this looks good to me, I'll try to package it with the name change and see the changes. | 01:16 |
| LaserJock | weboide: you just want to retain /usr/bin/eina so users can find it | 01:16 |
| weboide | weboide: okay, should I do any link with /usr/bin/eina-player or no? | 01:17 |
| LaserJock | weboide: no, just ship it as /usr/bin/eina | 01:17 |
| weboide | okay, thanks a *lot* for your help :) | 01:17 |
| weboide | LaserJock: I do have to also rename the directory in the orig.tar.gz to eina-player-<version> right? (this will break any debian/watch updating though...) | 01:28 |
| ScottK | It won't. uscan is smart enough to be able to mangle it appropriatelyl. | 01:30 |
| weboide | Hm, the annoying thing is to have to repackage the tar.gz from upstream everytime from now on, right? | 01:31 |
| weboide | hm | 01:32 |
| weboide | Nevermind that, if that works with uupdate | 01:32 |
| weboide | :p | 01:32 |
| LaserJock | weboide: it should mostly work ok without a lot of changes | 01:33 |
| weboide | okay, well thanks, I think I'm finally done with the questions now! | 01:35 |
| LaserJock | anybody about who uses git/bzr for packaging? | 01:57 |
| LaserJock | I'm wondering what a good strategy for using branches for patches | 02:00 |
| LaserJock | I guess if you create a branch off of an upstream branch it would work | 02:00 |

| tdomhan | how do I name the orig src tarball if I want to package a piece of software that is only available through svn?(concerning the version) | 11:11 |
| james_w | hey tdomhan | 11:11 |
| james_w | it's usually done as version+svn<revno> | 11:12 |
| tdomhan | hi james | 11:12 |
| james_w | if there are no releases at all that is a bit more difficult | 11:12 |
| directhex | 0.0.0+svn ? | 11:12 |
| tdomhan | there has been a release 1.27 | 11:12 |
| james_w | and you can use the date instead of the revno | 11:12 |
| jpds | I personally prefer: svnYYYYMMDD. | 11:12 |
| tdomhan | should I name it 1.28svn<revno>? | 11:12 |
| directhex | tdomhan, in that case, use 1.2.7+svn375218367853721 | 11:12 |
| directhex | tdomhan, no, for 2 reasons | 11:13 |
| directhex | tdomhan, if it's BASED on 1.27 (e.g. from a 1.27 branch) then use 1.27+svn; if it's BASED on 1.28 (e.g. from trunk leading towards a 1.28 release) then use 1.28~svn | 11:14 |
| directhex | tdomhan, using the ~ in the second example is very important | 11:14 |
| tdomhan | kk, it's the latter one, what are the meanings of +/~? | 11:14 |
| directhex | tdomhan, 1.28~svn100 is "older" than 1.28 | 11:15 |
| directhex | tdomhan, 1.27+svn100 is "newer" than 1.27 | 11:15 |
| tdomhan | kk thank you | 11:20 |
| james_w | "dpkg --compare-versions" can be used to check that two version numbers sort in the way that you think | 11:24 |
| maxb | ooi, is there a clear documentation of the algorithm anywhere? I resorted to the source to learn it | 11:25 |
| mok0 | maxb: there was a discussion on d-d some time ago on exactly that question | 11:25 |
| geser | I like 0~1 as a version. it's smaller than zero but positive :) | 11:26 |
| maxb | There's no such thing as a negative version | 11:26 |
| Yagisan | tdomhan, I use the naming system seen on the deng package here -> https://launchpad.net/~yagisan/+archive/ppa | 11:27 |
| maxb | That naming system is, IMO, inadvisable | 11:28 |
| maxb | It's overly verbose, and worse, it risks colliding with an official ubuntu package | 11:29 |
| geser | maxb: but 0~1 < 0 | 11:29 |
| mok0 | Yagisan's scheme is standard | 11:29 |
| maxb | mok0: for PPAs? | 11:29 |
| mok0 | yep | 11:30 |
| Yagisan | maxb, consider my package is what will eventually be the offical ubuntu packe - I see no issues with it | 11:30 |
| maxb | It's not frowned upon to publish packages to PPAs that have versions which could be used in the primary archive? | 11:30 |
| mok0 | No on the contrary | 11:31 |
| mok0 | You should not use version numbers that might appear in the archive | 11:31 |
| mok0 | -0ubuntu1~ppa1 is overwritten by -0ubuntu1 which gives the effect you want | 11:32 |
| maxb | the deng package in Yagisan's PPA ends -0ubuntu1, no ~ppa1, which is what I'm calling out as inadvisable | 11:32 |
| mok0 | right | 11:33 |
| mok0 | I've forgotten it too, occasionally | 11:33 |
| Yagisan | maxb, it's also been pending inclusion for what 2 years now ? It still can't get in, so the ppa can be skipped until I can actually get in | 11:34 |
| mok0 | Yagisan: pending, where? | 11:35 |
| maxb | Yagisan: regardless, that doesn't mean you shouldn't practice good versioning hygiene | 11:35 |
| mok0 | I agree | 11:36 |
| Yagisan | mok0, I've been sorting out license issues, and security issues ever since was it hoary or breezy - been such a long time now | 11:36 |
| mok0 | Yagisan: what if it gets in with changes? Then your ppa version is not overwritten | 11:36 |
| Yagisan | I guarantee you'll never have an official ubuntu version that will conflict with it | 11:36 |
| mok0 | Yagisan: you can't give such a guarantee | 11:37 |
| Yagisan | I sure can. as a former upstream, I can categorily state the is a remote eploitable security issue in it, and you can not include it under those grounds | 11:37 |
| Yagisan | thus | 11:38 |
| Yagisan | I can guarantee it | 11:38 |
| maxb | Well if that's the case, I'd say you should be deleting it from your PPA... | 11:38 |
| mok0 | Yagisan: there are 330942 examples in Launchpad I can cite to disprove you :-) | 11:38 |
| Yagisan | (FYI - design issue - and getting that fixed has been more of a headache than the licensing issues were!) | 11:38 |
| maxb | Regardless of what you can say about any specific upstream version, that's no reason not to apply good versioning practices | 11:39 |
| Yagisan | I have. there will never be an official intrepid version, and when it finally can go in (assuming I haven't given up) any older versions will upgrade | 11:40 |
| mok0 | Yagisan: where are you trying to get it in? | 11:42 |
| Yagisan | mok0, one day, far far far into the future it appears, I would like to see it in universe as it is/was a fun little game. Right now it fails a DFSG test over some issue with wording in an otherwise free license | 11:44 |
| mok0 | Yagisan: If you are upstream, just fix the license then | 11:45 |
| Yagisan | mok0, and when I started, some 33% of the code base was GPL incompatible non-free code, so I'm doing well | 11:45 |
| Yagisan | mok0, **former** upstream, and that code didn't come from us. adocating it's removeal didn't go down well either ... | 11:46 |
| mok0 | Yagisan: How sad | 11:47 |
| Yagisan | mok0, joys of politics mate - they no longer have a linux dev. That and I got canned over security fixes, and was vocal in my disapproval of windows only features being planned | 11:48 |
| mok0 | Yagisan: perhaps you should move on and use your skills for a better cause | 11:49 |
| * Yagisan has. I have several other projects - but I do enjoy playing this one, and there is interest in an Ubuntu package, so I update it in my ppa | 11:50 | |
| * RainCT wonders why Totem fails to play a song on a memory limited system with BadAlloc but Rhyhtmbox doesn't | 12:13 | |

| fabrice_sp_ | Hi. I'd like to apply to U-C-D and already setup my wiki page? Should I send first the email to the mailing list or get the comments of the people that sponsored my uploads? | 13:09 |
| geser | fabrice_sp_: get your sponsors comment on your application in your wiki page and when you have enough comments apply "formally" | 13:11 |
| fabrice_sp_ | thanks geser! | 13:15 |
| fabrice_sp_ | so, mok0, james_w and any MOTU whot sponsored my uploads recently: could you please put a comment on my wiki application page? Thanks! | 13:17 |
| RainCT | james_w: btw, http://jameswestby.net/weblog/bzr/03-sandwich.html gives a blank page here | 13:17 |
| james_w | RainCT: how, odd, it worked yesterday | 13:17 |
| james_w | RainCT: should be fixed now, thanks | 13:20 |
| RainCT | james_w: no problem. funny post :) | 13:21 |
| mok0 | fabrice_sp_: sure | 13:21 |
| mok0 | geser: did you see my reply to your question? | 13:22 |
| geser | mok0: yes | 13:23 |
| geser | mok0: so the PPA would only be used between FF and the next archive opening? | 13:23 |
| mok0 | geser: Yes | 13:23 |
| mok0 | geser: perhaps we come up with other uses, but that's the idea | 13:24 |
| geser | mok0: who should be able to upload there? only ~ubuntu-dev? | 13:25 |
| mok0 | geser: yes | 13:25 |
| mok0 | geser: when the package passes review, and if the main archive is closed | 13:26 |
| mok0 | geser: or.... perhaps if some rigorous testing is required??? | 13:27 |
| james_w | fabrice_sp_: do you have a list of uploads of yours that I sponsored? | 13:38 |
| james_w | oh, this is a U-C-D application, no need | 13:39 |
| ScottK | mok0: I also like the idea of an 'official' PPA to build against for libs so New doesn't add to latency for doing a sequence of packages. | 13:53 |
| * RainCT pokes asac | 14:30 | |
| mok0 | ScottK: yes, it helps for packages that have a serial dependency | 14:37 |
| asac | RainCT: ? | 15:22 |
| RainCT | asac: Yesterday I asked whether we still want new extensions for Jaunty (now that FF has started, that is), like last cycle? | 15:35 |
| asac | RainCT: depends on the extension. | 15:35 |
| asac | i wont grant a general exception if thats what you ask | 15:36 |
| asac | there are a few that missed FF because i was too overloaded to sponsor. those will certainly get in | 15:36 |
| asac | on top i need to look at the specific extension | 15:36 |
| RainCT | asac: Ah OK. I was thinking that if there was to be a general exception again I could take a look at packaging google gears | 15:51 |
| asac | RainCT: is that free? | 15:53 |
| RainCT | asac: Yes, New BSD | 15:54 |
| asac | RainCT: go ahead and package it ... we can then look ;) | 15:54 |
| asac | if its an important addition to the ubuntu-extension eco system it might be worth looking into an exception | 15:54 |
| RainCT | Alright. The main advantage of having it packaged is that there's a patch to let it work with 64-bit systems, but Google hasn't accepted it so far. That's quite annoying as there are custom .xpi builds with it but when there comes a new version Firefox is all the time asking to update it (which it can't as it then tries with the 32 bit version) | 15:55 |
| asac | RainCT: yes, amd64 support is an important use case | 16:00 |
| asac | RainCT: is there a branch alreawdy | 16:00 |
| asac | i just have kind of dejavu now that i think about it | 16:00 |
| asac | like i already reviewed a package at some point | 16:00 |
| RainCT | asac: Afaik no | 16:10 |
| goshawk | can i create a watch file to look to a svn repo in which there are the release file and not a tar archive? | 16:12 |
| goshawk | if yes can someone point me an example? | 16:12 |
| asac | RainCT: then go for it ;) ... quick! | 16:18 |

| siretart | __iron: follow the links in the channel topic | 16:22 |
| __iron | k | 16:22 |
| goshawk | nevermind, solved in another way :) | 16:29 |
| RainCT | goshawk: you can write a get-orig-source rule | 16:30 |
| goshawk | RainCT: i solved using an http page in which there is a link to the tarbal | 16:32 |
| goshawk | so in a complete different way | 16:32 |
| RainCT | goshawk: ah, that's better :) | 16:33 |
| goshawk | the problem right now is this one: Newest version on remote site is 0.99.7.0.99.7, local version is 0.99.7 | 16:33 |
| goshawk | it gets the version two times | 16:33 |
| goshawk | this is the watch | 16:33 |
| goshawk | http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/SourceDownloads http://downloads.dsource.org/projects/tango/([\d\.]+)/tango-([\d\.]+)-src.tar.gz | 16:33 |
| RainCT | add ?: after the first ( | 16:33 |
| goshawk | first one is the html page | 16:33 |
| RainCT | http://downloads.dsource.org/projects/tango/(?:[\d\.]+)/tango-([\d\.]+)-src.tar.gz | 16:33 |
| goshawk | perfect | 16:35 |
| goshawk | it works | 16:35 |
| goshawk | can you please tell me what that ?: | 16:35 |
| goshawk | mean? | 16:35 |
| RainCT | goshawk: parenthesis mark a group the content of which is selected; the ?: mean that you don't want that group | 16:36 |
| goshawk | ok perfect, understood :) thx as everytime... | 16:38 |
| RainCT | No problem. In case you have more difficulties with the watch file in the future, http://www.regular-expressions.info/ is a quite good resource. | 16:39 |
| RainCT | Although the rules in debian/watch are usually quite simple | 16:39 |
| goshawk | oki | 16:40 |
| goshawk | i've uploaded libtango to REVU | 16:42 |
| RainCT | nhandler: do you have some text for the FF warning? | 16:42 |
| goshawk | if someone have spare time, please review :) thx all | 16:42 |
| nhandler | RainCT: Not right now. I can write something up if you want | 16:43 |
| RainCT | nhandler: There's a warning now. Does it look good to you? | 17:00 |
| RainCT | nhandler: (it can be disabled once Koala is open changing "feature_freeze = 1" to 0 in /srv/revu-production/config/revu.cfg) | 17:01 |
| nhandler | RainCT: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121479/. I made a few wording changes. I also removed the word "Jaunty" so that we don't need to update it for each release | 17:04 |
| RainCT | nhandler: the distribution name is also taken from the config file ;) | 17:04 |
| nhandler | Ok, I didn't know that. Then you can add Jaunty back in ;) | 17:04 |
| RainCT | nhandler: I'm also pondering changing the header (the "A Review Tool for MOTUs" - it's not only for MOTU :)). What do you think about "Collaborative Ubuntu packages reviewing"? | 17:07 |
| RainCT | (that's an open question to anyone who wants to answer :)) | 17:12 |
| nhandler | RainCT: I have no objections. But we will also need to update a lot of the links that go to REVU | 17:13 |
| RainCT | nhandler: Erm.. Why? | 17:13 |
| nhandler | RainCT: Because a lot of links use the text "A Review Tool for MOTUs" | 17:14 |
| ScottK | It is a tool for MOTUs. | 17:15 |
| RainCT | ScottK: and for non-MOTUs who want to get a package into Ubuntu :) | 17:15 |
| ScottK | It's a tool to help us do reviews. | 17:16 |
| RainCT | and afaik MOTU is going away with archive reorg | 17:16 |
| ScottK | Yes, so eventually it will have to be changed. | 17:16 |
| RainCT | ScottK: So are you OK with changing the header? | 17:18 |
| ScottK | I think you should ask a broader section of MOTU than "is on IRC right now". | 17:19 |
| RainCT | nhandler: well, that REVU itself shows a different title doesn't mean that the links pointing to it must have the same name | 17:19 |
| ScottK | I'd prefer not, but it's not a big deal. | 17:19 |
| ScottK | So I don't object, other than please mail the MOTU ML first so others have a chance to object. | 17:19 |
| RainCT | I'll leave it for later then. Don't feel like sending a mail just to change a string :P | 17:20 |
| RainCT | nhandler: (the changes you've proposed will be up once LP processes my commit) | 17:21 |
| nhandler | scottk: I also don't agree that the entire MOTU community needs a chance to decide. It isn't as if we are changing the name of REVU, just the description | 17:21 |
| nhandler | Ok RainCT | 17:21 |
| ScottK | nhandler: It's been call that for years. I do think people ought to at least get a chance to object. | 17:22 |
| * RainCT wonders why REVU is in Softpedia o_O | 17:24 | |
| nhandler | scottk: I still disagree. We do not ask for input when we change a package's description. We don't ask for input when we change a team's description on LP, and we don't ask for input when we change a wiki pages description. I really do not think changing REVU description is a huge deal. | 17:27 |
| ScottK | nhandler: If you change the description of a team I'm a member of without getting input from the team, I would not appreciate that. It's not very Ubuntu. | 17:29 |
| RainCT | ScottK: you didn't complain when the ~revu-uploaders description was updated | 17:31 |
| ScottK | Did I know? | 17:31 |
| ScottK | I don't see the harm in a quick mail to the ML saying, "I'm planning on doing X unless anyone objects". | 17:32 |
| hyperair | i'm curious, how many people here like update-manager to spawn whenever there's an update as opposed to just having update-notifier show an icon in the notification area? | 17:32 |
| hyperair | and how many don't notice the addition of a new icon in the notification area? | 17:33 |
| hyperair | especially one so bright and orange as the update-notifier icon | 17:33 |
| ScottK | I don't use Ubuntu, so I don't have the experience, but I can imagine from the descriptions I wouldn't like the change. | 17:33 |
| RainCT | hyperair: I guess I won't like it neither, but haven't seen it yet. | 17:34 |
| ScottK | I'd think a tooltip would be sufficient. | 17:34 |
| RainCT | Although it may actually be better than the tooltip in some use cases | 17:34 |
| hyperair | let's all tell that to ubuntu-devel! | 17:34 |
| RainCT | That damn tooltip once popped up once while I was playing a game and took ages to go away -.- | 17:34 |
| hyperair | i'm incredibly annoyed at this change | 17:34 |
| RainCT | Although that may already be fixed with the new notification system | 17:35 |
| RainCT | But yes, having to dismiss a dialogue asking to update each time there are updates is probably quite annoying, especially as I always upgrade from the terminal (but the icon remembers me to do it) | 17:35 |
| james_w | RainCT: the new notification system listens for screensaver inhibits and holds messages while they are active | 17:36 |
| james_w | RainCT: so as long as the game inhibits the screensaver it will work fine | 17:36 |
| RainCT | james_w: Ah. So I guess the game doesn't :(. Is there some CLI command to add an inhibit? | 17:37 |
| james_w | gnome-screensaver-inhibit or something | 17:37 |
| james_w | gnome-screensaver-command -i | 17:38 |
| james_w | there's "xdg-screensaver suspend", but that's trickier to use | 17:38 |
| RainCT | james_w: thanks | 17:38 |
| james_w | pass "-n" and "-r" to the gnome one as well | 17:39 |
| RainCT | james_w: and how do I delete the inhibit afterwards? | 17:39 |
| james_w | RainCT: the inhibit is active for as long as the command runs | 17:40 |
| james_w | I would have thought it was possible to have a command that took another command as argument and inhibited the screensaver for as long as the child was active | 17:40 |
| asac | anyone has a system that was installed before intrepid? | 17:41 |
| asac | if so, please paste dpkg --query fontconfig-config | grep obsolete | 17:41 |
| hyperair | asac: me | 17:41 |
| RainCT | asac: I have 2 upgraded from Hardy | 17:41 |
| asac | hyperair: ^^ ;) | 17:41 |
| asac | RainCT: hardy would be good to see too | 17:41 |
| hyperair | asac: hardy -> intrepid | 17:41 |
| asac | hyperair: yes. please run the command and paste it | 17:42 |
| asac | if there is any output at all ;) | 17:42 |
| RainCT | james_w: yeah, something like that would rock | 17:42 |
| hyperair | asac dpkg: unknown option --query | 17:42 |
| asac | hyperair: RainCT: sorry ... its --status ;) | 17:42 |
| RainCT | uhm.. how can I put on the network cable without having irssi reconnecting? :P | 17:42 |

| hyperair | asac: yes just that | 17:43 |
| james_w | asac: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121504/ | 17:43 |
| __iron | asac: ive got more | 17:43 |
| asac | james_w: thanks. when installed? hardy? gutsy? | 17:43 |
| james_w | umm, feisty? | 17:44 |
| asac | oh | 17:44 |
| asac | ok | 17:44 |
| hyperair | wow that's long | 17:44 |
| hyperair | heh | 17:44 |
| asac | james_w: thats less than i expected. i had a bunch more on my since-edgy system | 17:44 |
| hyperair | i'll probably reinstall for jaunty =\ | 17:44 |
| hyperair | i want to switch to amd64 | 17:44 |
| asac | __iron: please paste | 17:44 |
| __iron | http://paste.ubuntu.com/121506/ | 17:44 |
| asac | james_w: can you run a md5sum on a few and see if they were changed? | 17:45 |
| asac | or maybe you __iron ;) | 17:46 |
| __iron | asac: ? | 17:46 |
| james_w | asac: all match dpkg's values | 17:46 |
| asac | james_w: great. thanks a lot | 17:46 |
| RainCT | am I still alive? | 17:47 |
| james_w | RainCT: it's not clear | 17:47 |
| asac | __iron: nevermind. you can run md5sum on the file and see whether it matches the md5sum in the output | 17:47 |
| asac | __iron: but james already answered | 17:47 |
| RainCT | asac: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121510/plain/ (on one PC, the other one is offline right now) | 17:48 |
| asac | RainCT: also feisty install? | 17:49 |
| __iron | asac: one of them http://paste.ubuntu.com/121512/ | 17:49 |
| RainCT | asac: nope, I use to make clean installs when I upgrade | 17:50 |
| asac | __iron: right. that matches. | 17:50 |
| asac | RainCT: so you installed when? intrepid? | 17:50 |
| asac | or even jaunty? | 17:50 |
| RainCT | asac: Ah. That one is an Intrepid upgraded from Hardy | 17:50 |
| asac | RainCT: see ;) | 17:50 |
| asac | so meaning the cruft is from hardy or intrepid | 17:51 |
| asac | feisty had the same | 17:51 |
| asac | my edgy had a bunch more ;) | 17:51 |
| tdomhan | what are menu-files for? to create a node under "applications" I have to provide a .desktop-file, haven't I? | 17:52 |
| RainCT | tdomhan: menu files are for Debian's menu, .desktop for all others | 17:52 |
| RainCT | tdomhan: although sometimes menu files are also used in Ubuntu (for example, the default menu in Openbox uses them) | 17:53 |
| tdomhan | they are not needed at all under ubuntu? | 17:53 |
| tdomhan | mh ok, just created one, then I will leave it | 17:54 |
| RainCT | tdomhan: they are encouraged, and not that difficult to create after all | 17:57 |
| tdomhan | RainCT, kk thanks for the information, I will just create a .desktop file aditionally | 17:57 |
| RainCT | tdomhan: Okay. Don't forget to run desktop-file-validate on it afterwards | 17:58 |
| mok0 | RainCT: have you ever taken a look at storm? | 18:08 |
| RainCT | mok0: nope | 18:09 |
| mok0 | RainCT: Looks really cool | 18:09 |
| mok0 | RainCT: I think it's used for LP | 18:10 |
| ScottK | It is. | 18:10 |
| RainCT | mok0: what can it do? | 18:10 |
| mok0 | RainCT: it wraps a database in python objects | 18:11 |
| RainCT | mok0: as in, removing the need for SQL? | 18:11 |
| mok0 | RainCT: yes | 18:11 |
| mok0 | RainCT: SQL is behind the scenes of course | 18:12 |
| RainCT | I guess persia likes it then :P | 18:12 |
| mok0 | ScottK, have you used it? | 18:12 |
| ScottK | I have not. | 18:12 |
| ScottK | IIRC I sponsored you for an upload of it. | 18:12 |
| mok0 | ScottK: yes, that's right! | 18:13 |
| mok0 | ScottK: Good memory! | 18:13 |
| ScottK | Not usually. I'm not sure why that one stuck in my head. | 18:13 |
| mok0 | I didn't really take a look at it before, but I think I might use it for my next project | 18:13 |
| mok0 | RainCT: How about rewriting revu using storm :-P | 18:14 |
| ScottK | I did just upload my first new style python extension. | 18:14 |
| mok0 | ScottK: "new style"? | 18:14 |
| ScottK | --install-layout=deb | 18:15 |
| mok0 | ah | 18:15 |
| mok0 | Didn't know it was supported already | 18:15 |
| ScottK | Yep. | 18:15 |
| RainCT | Uhm. There is SQL in the tutorial | 18:15 |
| * POX detected "python" and "orm" so he has to mention SQLAlchemy (great module!) :-P | 18:16 | |
| mok0 | RainCT: yes, but I don't think you really need to use it | 18:16 |
| * ScottK waves to pox. | 18:16 | |
| mok0 | POX: is that the same idea? | 18:16 |
| * POX waves back | 18:16 | |
| POX | yu[ | 18:16 |
| POX | yup | 18:16 |
| POX | but Mike (SQLAlchemy and Mako author) is my hero | 18:17 |
| mok0 | POX: can you tell a bit about the difference/similarity with storm? | 18:17 |
| POX | just check what SA can do | 18:17 |
| RainCT | mok0: Looks nice but I see no use for it. Perhaps for a bigger project it's interesting, but here I see it basically as an additional layer which just makes stuff slower :P | 18:19 |
| * POX is going thru python-sqlalchemy rdependencies again, if all will be 0.5-compatible this time (he contacted maintainers to ping upstream), 0.5.2 will be moved from experimental to unstable today | 18:19 | |
| mok0 | RainCT: what can be slower than developing those monster queries? | 18:20 |
| RainCT | mok0: I can use an object instead of a dictionary with it.. Well.. nice.. and? :P | 18:20 |
| mok0 | RainCT: It abstracts the complexity of the SQL queries | 18:21 |
| RainCT | and the queries would be the same anyway, I just would have to learn how to write them in a different way first | 18:21 |
| mok0 | RainCT: and how would you handle talking to several databases? | 18:21 |
| RainCT | we only have one | 18:22 |
| mok0 | RainCT: yes, but you're dissing the module | 18:22 |
| RainCT | mok0: ? | 18:22 |
| mok0 | RainCT: you're saying it's not useful | 18:23 |
| RainCT | mok0: I'm saying I don't see how it would be useful particularly for REVU. | 18:23 |
| mok0 | RainCT: but sql quickly gets so complicated that you don't understand what's going on | 18:23 |
| mok0 | RainCT: Yeah, ok | 18:24 |
| mok0 | But looking at sqlalchemy I can't tell what it does that storm doesn't... looks quite the same from a first glance | 18:25 |
| RainCT | mako rocks, btw :) | 18:26 |
| mok0 | It does! | 18:26 |
| mok0 | sqlalchemy has much more documentation | 18:28 |
| RainCT | uhm.. how can I concatenate strings inline with C | 18:49 |
| RainCT | * with C++ (like in Python "a" + var + "b")? | 18:50 |
| mok0 | RainCT: you need the function strcat | 18:51 |
| RainCT | that's the first I tried, but it fails to compile :/ | 18:51 |
| mok0 | RainCT: What? | 18:52 |
| mok0 | pastebin your expression | 18:52 |
| RainCT | Ah. I need two of them | 18:53 |
| RainCT | strcat(strcat("[", (char *) sizeof(voices_list)), "]") *ugly* | 18:53 |
| mok0 | RainCT: you might also use sprintf | 18:54 |
| RainCT | and it segfaults :( | 18:54 |
| mok0 | RainCT:ok | 18:55 |
| mok0 | RainCT: I'd code that in 2 strcat statements | 18:55 |
| RainCT | I don't want any variable for that | 18:55 |
| geser | RainCT: it won't work that way as "[" isn't writable | 18:58 |
| RainCT | right, just seen that | 18:58 |
| RainCT | C/C++ is evil :( | 18:58 |
| geser | the easiest way is to use s(n)printf | 18:59 |
| RainCT | geser: how would that look like? | 19:00 |
| RainCT | I don't want to print anything, just pass that as an argument to another function | 19:01 |
| geser | char buf[100]; snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "[%d]", sizeof(voices_list); | 19:02 |
| RainCT | thx | 19:03 |
| geser | RainCT: what is voices_list? | 19:03 |
| geser | sizeof(voices_list) might don't return what you expect | 19:04 |
| RainCT | an arra | 19:04 |
| RainCT | y | 19:04 |
| geser | on the stack? | 19:04 |
| geser | of what data types? | 19:04 |
| RainCT | An espeak_VOICE structure | 19:04 |
| RainCT | so, a struct | 19:05 |
| geser | is the array malloc()ed? | 19:05 |
| RainCT | I don't know.. :P | 19:05 |
| RainCT | If what you're thinking about is that I may need to divide that with sizeof(espeak_VOICE), the value of that is 20 and sizeof(voices_list) is only 8 :P | 19:06 |
| geser | if it's malloc()ed than sizeof(voices_list) will return the size of the pointer to that array (4 byte on 32bit and 8 byte on 64bit) | 19:06 |
| RainCT | d'oh | 19:07 |
| === hanska_ is now known as hanska | ||
| geser | a pointer doesn't know how large the memory chunk it points to is, you need a separate variable to pass on the actual array size | 19:09 |
| RainCT | I don't have it :/ | 19:09 |
| RainCT | but nevermind, I think I'm doing this wrong and actually don't need to know the length | 19:09 |
| RainCT | thanks anyway | 19:09 |
| mrooney | I copied my Jaunty PPA package to Intrepid and now it doesn't work because it requires python-central >= 0.6.9, but I am not sure why | 19:15 |
| ScottK | Because that's what it was compiled with. | 19:15 |
| ScottK | You have to upload source and build it in Intrepid. | 19:16 |
| mrooney | ScottK: ahh okay, I tried to do that but launchpad kept rejecting it | 19:16 |
| ScottK | You have to use a different revision number. | 19:17 |
| RainCT | geser: arr.. after all I do need it :(. Is there some other way to get the size other than incrementing a counter variable in a loop, then? | 19:17 |
| mrooney | ScottK: just doing like a ~ppa2 won't work? | 19:17 |
| ScottK | Yes Should. | 19:17 |
| ScottK | I usually do ~releaseX~ppaY | 19:18 |
| geser | RainCT: no | 19:18 |
| mrooney | ScottK: do you know if I can delete the Intrepid package that was copied so the old one is installable? | 19:18 |
| geser | RainCT: in C the memory management is your task | 19:18 |
| * RainCT decides he hates c/C++ and whoever invented it :P | 19:19 | |
| ScottK | Now you're getting into questions about how PPA's work, not general packaging, so I'd ask in #launchpad. | 19:19 |
| mrooney | ScottK: okay, thanks | 19:20 |
| mrooney | ScottK: does the changelog version stuff matter? ie it is Jaunty so all the versions there have Jaunty, do I have to change any of that to Intrepid for it to work there? | 19:21 |
| mrooney | or is that not relevant | 19:21 |
| ScottK | Yes. You need to change the upload target to intrepid. | 19:21 |
| mrooney | ScottK: can I just change the most recent one, or do they all have to be Intrepid? | 19:22 |
| ScottK | Most recent is all that matters. | 19:22 |
| mrooney | ScottK: excellent! okay now hopefully one last question, can I leave the .orig.tar.gz as it is, and just change the extracted debian/ ? | 19:24 |
| ScottK | Yes | 19:25 |

| jcfp | Does having a hard dependency on something in multiverse put a package also in multiverse as a result? | 20:38 |
| ScottK | Yes | 20:38 |
| ScottK | Recommends too. | 20:38 |
| jcfp | ah. | 20:39 |
| jcfp | ScottK: must such a move be requested separately or can it be done at the same time as a minor bugfix update (by simply mentioning it should be done) | 20:41 |
| ScottK | It should be a separate bug. | 20:42 |
| geser | jcfp: file a bug requesting the move to multiverse | 20:42 |
| jcfp | Does it take long, should I subscribe somebody special? | 20:42 |
| geser | the usual sponsoring rules apply (if needed) or ubuntu-archive (else) | 20:46 |
| jcfp | geser: Just the separate bug for moving to multiverse, so I'll subscribe ubuntu-archive then. thanks | 20:47 |
| ScottK | jcfp: It should still be reviewed by a MOTU first. | 20:50 |
| jcfp | ScottK: the move? | 20:50 |
| ScottK | Yes. | 20:50 |
| jcfp | package is sabnzbdplus, recommends unrar (= multiverse) | 20:51 |
| jcfp | #333016 | 20:51 |
| ScottK | jcfp: Better to change it to unrar-free | unrar and then it's fine. | 20:51 |
| jcfp | doesn't work with that program | 20:52 |
| ScottK | Oh. | 20:52 |
| geser | or move unrar to Suggests | 20:52 |
| ScottK | That was my next suggestion. | 20:52 |
| jcfp | geser: already got complaints coz it's only recommended | 20:52 |
| geser | does it work without unrar? if yes, the suggest it only and keep it in universe than move it because of this into multiverse | 20:53 |
| ScottK | jcfp: Can you adapt sabnzbdplus to work with unrar-free? | 20:53 |
| jcfp | geser: "work" as in start-up, yes. With a non-fatal warning. But the functionality is something the vast majority of users would want | 20:54 |
| geser | ScottK: unrar-free doesn't work with .rar in current use | 20:54 |
| ScottK | Oh. | 20:55 |
| jcfp | ScottK: don't think so, at least not without alot of work | 20:55 |
| ScottK | I would drop it to suggests and don't worry about complaints. | 20:56 |
| jcfp | What so bad about being in multiverse that one would go that far to prevent that? | 20:58 |
| geser | putting a FLOSS software into the "non-free" archive | 21:00 |
| ScottK | For one, it's the non-free section so stuff in there tends to get lower priority for work from MOTU. | 21:00 |
| ScottK | The 'proper' solution to this problem is to convince the unrar licensor to use a free license. | 21:00 |
| ScottK | Moving things that might use it to mulitiverse is just a bandaid on the real problem. | 21:01 |
| jcfp | I realise that, but the other option, making unrar to a mere suggest isn't looking too good either in that respect. | 21:03 |
| === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk | ||
| ScottK | The response to complaints from users I think is go ask the unrar people to fix their license. | 21:18 |
| jcfp | So it ends up between having a package where it doesn belong, or users ending up installing a package that misses important functionality :/ | 21:21 |
| jcfp | nice. | 21:22 |
| === asac_ is now known as asac | ||
| ScottK | Yes. | 21:27 |
| lifeless | jcfp: important functionality that depends on unfree code; hmmm -> I'm not sure that that isn't an oxymoron for a free software distribution | 21:28 |
| jcfp | lifeless: that's not a choice of even the upstream devs: things on usenet tend to get distributed as rar files, and the only way to support that seems to be a non-free app | 21:30 |
| lifeless | or don't access those files, and tell the poster to use free software. There is always a choice, even if its not simple or convenient | 21:30 |
| lifeless | anyhow, its too early for this :P | 21:31 |
| jcfp | lifeless: good luck contacting posters on usenet ;) | 21:33 |
| jcfp | ScottK: if that bug needs a motu ack, please be so kind. When choosing between two evils, I'd at least want the package to work for end users - anything else kind of defeats the purpose of packaging in the first place.. | 21:36 |

| anakron | Hi all | 23:03 |

| anakron | ping Laney, hi, how are you? | 23:11 |
| === hanska is now known as hanska_ | ||
| anakron | ping persia, hi, how are you? | 23:24 |
| anakron | there is a motu here that can answer a question? | 23:32 |
| RAOF | !ask | anakron | 23:34 |
| ubottu | anakron: Please 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. :-) | 23:34 |
| anakron | XD | 23:34 |
| anakron | ok | 23:34 |
| anakron | how i can apply quilt patches without errors? | 23:34 |
| RAOF | The answer is "probably, but they'll be waiting for you to ask your question first :) | 23:34 |
| RAOF | anakron: Well, that will depend on what the errors are. | 23:35 |
| anakron | because im trying to apply them and i got one right applied | 23:35 |
| anakron | and the second one says that i must refrsh the first one | 23:35 |
| anakron | but even if i refresh the first one i can get to apply the second patch | 23:35 |
| RAOF | You probably want to pastebin a full terminal session of what you're trying to do; I may be able to spot the problem there. | 23:36 |
| anakron | mm | 23:36 |
| anakron | for ex | 23:36 |
| anakron | i get source of qtpfsgui | 23:36 |
| === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim | ||
| anakron | then i go to debian/patches | 23:36 |
| RAOF | You know about pastebin? | 23:36 |
| anakron | pastebin is to show the things that terminal says | 23:37 |
| anakron | like a webpage? | 23:37 |
| RAOF | !pastebin | 23:37 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 23:37 |
| RAOF | It's a _really_ good idea to just copy the text that's in the terminal there; that gives me exactly what you've done, and what error messages have come up. | 23:37 |
| anakron | ok im doing it | 23:38 |
| anakron | :O | 23:41 |
| anakron | it says that there is an error into a patch | 23:41 |
| anakron | how you can edit a patch? | 23:43 |
| RAOF | Right. So, what you want to do is copy all the text in that terminal session to a pastebin. | 23:43 |
| RAOF | Then I can see what's happening, and can hopefully help you. | 23:43 |
| anakron | nono i understand it | 23:43 |
| anakron | but i need to modify the patch | 23:43 |
| anakron | that the reason of why it not added properly | 23:44 |
| RAOF | Well, at worst, you can just edit the patch in a text editor. | 23:44 |
| anakron | ups, my error | 23:45 |
| RAOF | But you should be able to push the patch, then fix it up so it applies cleanly. | 23:45 |
| anakron | im paste it in pastebin | 23:45 |
| anakron | http://paste.ubuntu.com/121614/ | 23:47 |
| anakron | look it | 23:47 |
| RAOF | Why are you in debian/patches? | 23:48 |
| anakron | where i must apply it? | 23:48 |
| RAOF | If you run "QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt push -a" in the root of the package directory, does that work? | 23:48 |
| anakron | i get confused because i try to do it in source folder but i can't | 23:48 |
| RAOF | Yeah, quilt is a little bit wierd. | 23:49 |
| anakron | it runs | 23:49 |
| anakron | thanks! | 23:49 |
| mrooney | Okay, I have a package in jaunty/universe, I can still get bugfix only / translation sync updates in right? | 23:55 |
| anakron | one other: if when i try to do debuild -S, i got "Latest changelog entry has no Ubuntu version number" what can i do? | 23:58 |
| directhex | mrooney, yes | 23:59 |
| directhex | anakron, is this for a PPA? | 23:59 |
| anakron | no | 23:59 |
| anakron | ping RA0F, i got with debuild "Patch 10_remove_encoding_from_desktop_file does not remove cleanly (refresh it or enforce with -f) | 23:59 |
| anakron | " | 23:59 |
| mrooney | directhex: are there any examples of an appropriate bug report that I could use as a template for a sync? | 23:59 |
