james_wI'm unable to build anything in a jaunty pbuilder as aptitude won't install due to libapt, is anyone else seeing this?00:03
ScottKDid wxpython get fixed?  2.8 was fubar yesterday.00:03
ScottKWorking here.00:04
ScottKjames_w: You can switch your pbuilder to use the classic pbuilbersatisfydepends that uses apt.  Maybe it's better.00:04
geserjames_w: is that inside the pbuilder or in the host system?00:07
james_winside pbuilder00:07

james_wI was trying to build with a mix of jaunty and experimental00:12
goshawkhi, about armel support, i can see that the jaunty alpha-5 has "ixp4xx" and "versatile" versions, where can i find infos about the differencies?00:19
ScottKgoshawk: I think there is an #ubuntu-armel channel (or something like that)00:28

LaibschHi01:01
LaibschLooking for help in getting python-4suite-xml to actually compile against python 2.601:02
Laibschhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/23448421/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-amd64.python-4suite_1.0.2-7ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz01:02
Laibschis the build failure01:02
geserhave fun figuring out why the build didn't produce for 2.5 hours no output at all01:05
Laibschyeah01:06
LaibschI have no clue about that either01:06
james_wdoes it work on your machine?01:06
james_wor is this the memory eating one?01:06
LaibschCompiling, you mean?01:06
james_wyeah01:06
geserjames_w: that's the same spot where I aborted my pbuilder build as it took already 1 GB swap plus my 5 GB RAM01:07
james_wurgh01:08
james_wdoes a rebuild with python 2.5 still work?01:08
geserthe python2.5 part works (see in the beginning of the log)01:09
ajmitchgeser: that's a rather large amount of memory to use for a build01:10
LaibschI'm sorry, my local machine would be underpowered I assume01:12
Laibschnot enough RAM and not enough CPU, I guess01:13
geserajmitch: it might be less as my pbuilder uses a tmpfs, but usually I don't need any swap to build a package01:13
ajmitchI think any machine would be underpowered if it keeps on chomping through memory like that01:13
LaibschWhat can we do?01:18
LaibschIs there any channel like #debian-python for ubuntu?01:19
* Laibsch is not aware of such a thing01:19
ScottKLaibsch: There is not.01:28

c_kornthe build of scilab-5.1 fails. but it succeeds in a ppa. the error is about empty translation files. can someone help me what to do? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23510243/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-lpia.scilab_5.1-0ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz12:09
geserc_korn: that's easy: remove the empty po file in the clean target: [ -s modules/scipad/locales/fr_FR/scipad.po ] || rm -f modules/scipad/locales/fr_FR/scipad.po12:12
geserand so on for the others12:12
c_korngeser: is "install/scilab::" the right target  to put that in?12:18
geserc_korn: that should work too, as long as the empty po files are removed before the deb gets build12:21
slytheringeser: if the files need to be removed before the deb gets built then install isn't the right target, is it?12:23
geserslytherin: the debs gets build in the binary* target which usually depend on the build and install targets12:25
slytherinOh, I always thought it gets in install target. :-(12:25
geserthe install target only runs "make install" (or any equivalent) so the files are copied to the place from where the deb gets build12:26
c_kornslytherin may be right, because there are other commands in the install target already and I do not see them executed in the build log. so they are executed after the error I think12:26
c_kornhttp://pastebin.com/d15e454e912:27
c_kornthis is the debian/rules file12:28
geserpkgstriptranslations is called almost at the end of the build, only a few calls follow it, so it must be an other reason why the install/scilab target isn't called12:32

c_kornso what is the right target?12:40
geserc_korn: I'd propose the clean target12:43
c_korngeser: hm, but won't that be in the diff.gz afterwards because clean is called when debuild -S -sa? maybe I should write patches to delete those files?12:45
geserc_korn: delete files don't appear in the .diff.gz12:50

ScottKdirecthex: I had one come out of New recently, so there is some motion.13:44
directhexScottK, binary new or source new? (even though the ftpmaster page doesn't distinguish)13:44
ScottKdirecthex: Source and they do distinguish.  Binary usually gets done more quickly.13:45
DktrKranzc_korn: not yet. You should use dch -i to add a new changelog entry, instead of mangling current one13:45
c_kornargh, I will get into it :P13:45
directhexScottK, they distinguish in reality, but the ftp-master wobsite shows them both in the same queue, which is false13:46
DktrKranzdirecthex: ftp-master's NEW page is confusing, it lists binary NEW pkgs too, and it's really hard to say which are source NEW. I hope they have a better approach.13:49
directhexDktrKranz, someone did some hacking on that page recently. was it NCommander?13:49
broonieThey're all equally NEW, the distinction is moer in teh internal sorting that DAK does.13:50
ScottKdirecthex: 'false' is really far too strong a word.13:51

directhexDktrKranz, oh, me too. i had the audacity to file a bug on cdda2wav13:55
brooniedirecthex: the software provides a default sort for the queue when they go look at it which brings binary NEW stuff to the front.13:55
broonie(ftpmaster here being the humans that fulfil that role rather than the machine)13:55
DktrKranzdirecthex: mine was worse, he mailed me without previous contact by my side13:56
DktrKranzhe saw I uploaded a revision of a similar package, and asked me some stuff about cdrtools13:57
ScottKcody-somerville: My first question would be why did slangasek decline it for Jaunty?13:57
cody-somervilleScottK, I imagine because someone nominated before FF or something.13:57

ScottKYes.13:58
cody-somervilleScottK, I'm just building it now13:58
cody-somervilleScottK, However, 0.4 is rather obsolete.13:59
DktrKranzc_korn: much better now (at least for syntax).13:59
NCommanderdirecthex, broonie, no, dak only had source NEWs, no binary NEWs like Ubuntu13:59
NCommanderthe binaries you are seeing are the binaries uploaded with the source package13:59
c_kornDktrKranz: should it be a for loop?14:00
ScottKcody-somerville: OK.  Tell me after you've tested it works (not just build) and sign up to be bug contact and I'll ack it.14:00
directhexbroonie, i don't doubt that ftpmaster is a thankless, tedious, never-ending job, but it would be nice to get a better handle on why things can end up taking aeons. 2 months is a very long time, and the number of packages in NEW right now is mad. presumably there is post-release "stuff" to be done?14:00
StevenKNCommander: Actually, binary NEW is handled at the same time as source NEW14:01
broonieSome of it is folks taking a break after release.14:01
broonieNCommander: Not the case, *all* new binaries are NEW.14:01
brooniedirecthex: Some of it will be stuff being deliberately held up for transitions too.14:02
directhexbroonie, ftpmaster goes on holiday just as everyone else is saying "lenny is out? quick, break the archive!" :D14:02
DktrKranzc_korn: not necessarily14:02
NCommanderStevenK, dak uses the override for the source package, it doesn't have the concept of binary NEW unless I'm very much mistaken.14:02
cody-somervilleScottK, k14:02
StevenKNCommander: You're mistaken14:02
broonieNCommander: You're mistaken.14:02
* StevenK high fives broonie 14:02
ScottKIs there an echo in here?14:02
broonie(IIRC the actual implementation is that everything *must* have an override so things without an override are NEW).14:03
c_kornDktrKranz: well, a simple "find . -name '*.po' -empty -delete" would be better?14:03
DktrKranzdirecthex: but people prepare NEW and keep them under the pillow to push it right after release, just to "break stuff" (tm)14:03
NCommanderSo I upload a package through dak, the source package and the initial binaries go through, the binaries for other architectures don't get stuck in a NEW queue like on Ubuntu14:03
brooniedirecthex: In general there's never been any guarantee on new processing and it does get backed up from time to time.14:03
DktrKranzc_korn: I guess they're equivalent14:04
brooniedirecthex: If it's particularly urgent then pinging *may* help, providing it doesn't annoy anyone :)14:04
DktrKranzjust do not delete good translations, the other point is just cosmetic14:04
directhexbroonie, i'm not looking for an SLA, just a general "waa, i'm right near the top but it's been *ages*"14:04
directhexbroonie, absolutely people are entitled to time off14:04
james_wNCommander: but if you add a -dbg package in the next upload that will hit NEW14:05
broonieNCommander: Yes, the override is arch all14:05
directhexDktrKranz, well, yes, you don't want to upload things to unstable whilst testing is frozen14:05
DktrKranzin Italy we say: "patience is for the strong ones"14:05
brooniedirecthex: The queue has never been officially sorted, often the easy stuff is cherry-picked out first.14:05
NCommanderjames_w, oh ... sorry, when I think of binNEW, I think of Ubuntu's binNEW, as a per archietecture override.14:05

pochuI could also use "a given port" :)15:52
directhexa15:55

vadi2What is the proper way to supercede a package? (for example, the program was renamed)17:32
slangasekScottK: because there are no controls on who nominates what for release, and all kinds of bugs show up on the nomination list that there's no reason we should track release-wise17:34
ScottKslangasek: OK.  Sounds reasonable.  Just wanted to make sure it wasn't something more specific.  Thanks.17:35
maixhi, is there a way to say "this packages requires package xy in a version between 1.0 and 2.0"?17:36
maixi cannot find docs about the requires header anywhere17:36
ScottKUse two separate depends.  One for the less than and one for the greater than.17:37
goshawkRainCT: hi17:38
ScottKmaix: python (<< 2.7), python (>= 2.6), is a real live example from a package.17:39
vadi2how can I make it so package B supercedes package A, but when package A is removed, it doesn't want to remove package B?17:39
maixok thanks17:39
maixwhat's the difference between << and < ?17:39
maixi know that from maths, but what does that mean with packages?17:39

maixah that's helpful, thanks17:43
maixanother question: why is 1.0 and 1 not the same version?17:43
ScottKmaix: Because they aren't the same.17:44
maixwell ;)17:45
jdongmaix: man deb-version? :)17:45
jdong(see under Sorting Algorithm)17:46
jdongthe short answer is that it makes the sorting algorithm a simple concise no-surprises lexicographical comparison like traditional string-comparison operators.17:46
maixhm17:47
maixis there some convention to never use trailing .0s or something like that?17:47
jdongyou mean in the debian/ubuntu part of the version string?17:48
maixno, anywhere17:50
maixor how shall i compare that else?17:50
jdongwell we have no control (no pun intended) over how upstream projects version their projects.17:51
maixshall i write << 2.0 or << 2 or << 2.0.0 ?17:51
jdongthat depends on how upstream versions their projects.17:51
maixof course, but one could change it17:51
jdongbut for all intents and purposes they'd probably all do the same thing.17:51
jdongdepending on how specifically upstream versions their product :)17:52

jdongheh it's not exactly without its marred history in the past.20:05

jdonga "runnable tarball" if that sounds any better :D20:10
slytherindoes anyone know how to debug issues with cdrom device access?20:11
ScottKmiik: It'd take a person who was reasonably expert in Java, Debian packaging, and licensing to go through their tarball as see if it was actually legal to go in the repositories.20:11
miikits GPL, i would assume it is...20:12
ScottKmiik: One common problem we hit with Java packages is they are licensed GPL so was can't distribute without the source, but then they don't provide the source.20:12
miikoh20:12
jdongmiik: a lot of things say they are GPL are not truly GPL compliant :)20:12
