| wgrant | Hm, I guess I'd best file a FFe exemption bug before I upload... | 00:00 |
| wgrant | It is not a managed transition at all. | 00:00 |
| Laney | but why did this happen? | 00:01 |
| wgrant | Why did what happen? | 00:01 |
| ScottK | wgrant: If it's just bugfix then it doesn't need FFe. | 00:02 |
| wgrant | ScottK: It still needs a bug. | 00:02 |
| ScottK | wgrant: It has one. Just mark something in that. | 00:02 |

| wgrant | ScottK: Thanks. | 00:02 |
| Laney | Although "Please assign bug reports caused by build failures to me." if doko is offering to fix the world... | 00:02 |
| ScottK | When I've gotten stuck and asked, he's been good about making suggestions. | 00:03 |
| Laney | While that is commendable, it's separate to managing the transition. Ideally we'd have had a bug report or (preferably) a wiki page listing what needs to be done | 00:06 |
| Laney | maybe I've been spoiled by the mono transition though | 00:06 |

| * Laney is so bad at python packaging | 00:46 | |
| ScottK | Yes | 00:46 |
| Laney | but if libs have been transitioned, what happens then? | 00:47 |
| ajmitch | is 2.5 still in main & packages build for 2.5 & 2.6? | 00:48 |
| Laney | well, I removed the 2.5 ones and it works | 00:54 |
| Laney | I wouldn't even be able to get on the web interface if cherrypy was incompatible | 00:54 |
| * Laney is reasonably happy with that | 00:54 | |
| ScottK | Most modules should build for both. | 00:57 |
| Laney | Would I see a failure anywhere if they weren't? | 00:59 |
| ScottK | If you start python2.5 and import foo works, then foo is built for 2.5. | 01:02 |

| savvas | @GNOME_TEAM@ should be replaced by the makefile rule in uploaders.mk | 10:15 |

| hyperair | i have no idea | 10:16 |
| === bastiao_ is now known as k0p | ||
| savvas | I'm asking because Daniel asked why the sed command replaces the @GNOME_TEAM@, when there is already a rule in uploaders.mk to do that :) | 10:18 |
| hyperair | good point | 10:18 |
| hyperair | but shouldn't you change as little as possible from debian? | 10:18 |
| hyperair | if what debian has works, then leave it i say =p | 10:19 |
| savvas | well, I'll send back to debian if it gets approved :) | 10:19 |

| hyperair | in that case, by all means, clean it up | 10:19 |

| savvas | :P | 10:19 |
| savvas | ok | 10:19 |
| hyperair | savvas: oho. | 10:20 |
| hyperair | savvas: there is a reason why debian/rules looks like that | 10:20 |
| savvas | "* Drop superfluous uploaders include." ? :) | 10:20 |
| hyperair | savvas: notice that debian/rules has a sed command which has two -e's | 10:20 |
| hyperair | if you let the uploaders.mk do its job, then do your stuff after that, you're going to clobber | 10:21 |
| hyperair | note: sed blah blah blah control.in > control | 10:21 |
| hyperair | that's how the uploaders.mk handles it first. | 10:21 |
| hyperair | if you do sed -e "custom rule" control.in > control a second time you'll clobber the stuff done by uploaders.mk | 10:22 |
| savvas | you mean I should try without -e ? | 10:22 |
| hyperair | noooooooooooo | 10:22 |
| hyperair | i'm saying just leave the debian/rules as it is | 10:22 |
| hyperair | include /usr/share/gnome-pkg-tools/1/rules/uploaders.mk is needed because debian/rules needs some vars which are specified inside it | 10:22 |
| hyperair | DISABLE_UPDATE_UPLOADERS := 1 <-- this is needed so that uploaders.mk does NOT touch debian/control _yet_ | 10:23 |
| hyperair | sed \ | 10:23 |
| hyperair | -e "s#@GNOME_TEAM@#$(UPLOADERS)#g" \ | 10:23 |
| hyperair | -e "$$plugins_desc_script" \ | 10:23 |
| hyperair | debian/control.in > debian/control | 10:23 |
| hyperair | and this... | 10:23 |
| hyperair | handles everything all at once in one sed command | 10:23 |
| hyperair | because handling it in multiple will only have the last change. | 10:23 |
| hyperair | well of course there's the whole option of just using sed -i -e "$$plugin_desc_script" debian/control | 10:24 |
| hyperair | considering that the clean rule from uploaders.mk would have generated a partially complete debian/control already | 10:24 |
| savvas | ah.. | 10:26 |
| savvas | now I see!! | 10:26 |

| directhex | DktrKranz, what are the chances on a FFe for "blam" going to be? I was going to avoid asking for one (as the 0.0.1 upstream bump contains a fundamental change), but something's cropped up..... a binary-only dll in ubuntu's orig which the ubuntu version needs | 10:36 |
| eMerzh | hyperair, yes... but if it could be validated, i would not say no :) | 10:36 |
| directhex | DktrKranz, it's an RSS reader. the major change, other than removing the non-free component, is dropping gecko in favour of webkit | 10:36 |
| directhex | DktrKranz, and no, i don't know how feasible backporting the replacement rss lib would be | 10:37 |
| DktrKranz | directhex: mmmh, wasn't that already processed? | 10:40 |
| hyperair | eMerzh: ah i see | 10:40 |
| DktrKranz | I've seen something on -changes, was it Debian? | 10:40 |
| directhex | DktrKranz, well, it's been updated for the mono 2.0 transition in jaunty, but not "fully"... i was researching why, and it seems the 1.0 dependencies come from the binary dll | 10:42 |
| directhex | DktrKranz, it's fixed in sid, but it's a major change to switch rendering engine, so definitely needs a FFe | 10:42 |
| DktrKranz | directhex: so it needs an upgrade due to mono 2.0 | 10:42 |
| directhex | DktrKranz, it *needs* an upgrade due to binary in orig. as it stands, it builds fine on jaunty (as someone, probably you, updated it) - it just sucks & pulls in all of the 1.0 corlib | 10:44 |
| DktrKranz | directhex: sounds good for a pretty straightforward FFe | 10:46 |
| directhex | i'll test it in a VM, to be certain that there are no obvious regressions | 10:46 |
| DktrKranz | it's a standalone app, isn't it? | 10:48 |
| directhex | yes | 10:49 |
| DktrKranz | so it's good | 10:50 |
| DktrKranz | it won't be more broken than now | 10:50 |

| directhex | persia, was i correct in hearing word that java 7 might become more monoish and actually be splittable into smaller libs in a rational manner? | 12:47 |
| persia | directhex, I can't speak for the former. I believe that much of the base JDK will be broken into separable libraries, but haven't heard too many details. | 12:47 |
| persia | Despite the JCP, I still basically wait to hear what Sun is planning. | 12:48 |
| directhex | it would be nice if a java app could have a <100 meg footprint including framework | 12:48 |
| persia | Yeah, although the work on -headless seems to be making that possible for server stuff. | 12:50 |
| persia | We'll see how far it goes. As much as anything, it's the app authors who tend to use all the little bits just because they are there. | 12:50 |
| directhex | well, your target is about 35-40 meg for tomboy w/ mono, i think ;) | 12:50 |
| persia | Well, kinda. Part of the issue is that the perception of "Java Works" is related to applets working, and that requires *lots* of libraries for graphics, animation, sound, etc. | 12:51 |

| bddebian | Hi iulian | 15:03 |
| dholbach | anybody know a package that uses python's distutils and debhelper7? | 15:07 |
| dholbach | maybe python-support too? :) | 15:07 |
| ScottK | dholbach: stepic | 15:07 |
| dholbach | I'm trying to figure out what python-django-lint (only in Debian) FTBFS in Ubuntu | 15:07 |
| dholbach | ScottK: thanks - I'll check it out | 15:07 |
| ScottK | dholbach: If it's like some other django stuff it's becuase it uses ez_setup. | 15:08 |
| * ScottK didn't look at that one specifically though | 15:08 | |
| dholbach | it seems to install what's in setup.py's scripts' list into usr/local and dh_usrlocal explodes | 15:08 |
| ScottK | You need to patch around the ez_install stuff. | 15:08 |
| dholbach | it does not use ez_install AFAICS | 15:09 |
| ScottK | Oh. OK. | 15:09 |
| ScottK | Nevermindthen. | 15:09 |
| dholbach | just the regular distutils..core | 15:09 |
| dholbach | ok - I'll have a poke at it | 15:09 |
| dholbach | seems like a useful tool | 15:09 |
| ScottK | dholbach: Then it probaby needs the install layout=deb magic | 15:09 |
| dholbach | ah! | 15:09 |
| ScottK | I'll look up the exact syntax | 15:09 |
| * dholbach will try it | 15:09 | |
| ScottK | dholbach: setup.py install --install-layout=deb | 15:10 |
| ScottK | Adding the --install-layout=deb is likely the missing bit. | 15:10 |
| dholbach | gracias, now I'll see how to marry that with debhelper7 :) | 15:10 |
| geser | patch debhelper so other python packages benefit from it too | 15:14 |
| dholbach | geser: I'd rather leave that to somebody who's a bit cleverer than I am... like doko | 15:15 |
| dholbach | ... and understands the bigger python picture than I do | 15:15 |
| geser | cdbs was patched to include --install-layout=deb by default when calling setup.py install but apparently not debhelper | 15:16 |
| ara | dholbach: does it makes sense to have circular dependencies? because debian ldtp package just introduced one | 16:08 |
| ScottK | ara: They matter a lot less for Debian (due to doing binary uploads) than to Ubuntu. We want to avoid those. | 16:08 |
| dholbach | ara: why is it necessary there? | 16:09 |
| ara | dholbach: the reason is that the packaging is done badly. ldtprunner is part of ldtp package, but should be part of python-ldtp | 16:10 |
| ara | dholbach: they have just make ldtp depend on python-ldtp. but python-ldtp was already depending on ldtp | 16:10 |
| dholbach | ara: could it be easily moved to the other package (with added conflicts/replaces to the old version)? | 16:10 |
| dholbach | hum.... as far as I can tell the new ldtp does not depends on python-ldtp? (1.5.0-1 in Debian) | 16:11 |
| ara | dholbach: I guess so, I will talk with the debian maintainer about it. I don't think it ldtp is going to publish any necessary fixes for jaunty, so I will try to have it sorted out before karmic auto-sync | 16:12 |
| ara | dholbach: yes, it is in debian only | 16:12 |
| ara | dholbach: ldtp (1.5.0-2) unstable; urgency=low | 16:12 |
| ara | . | 16:12 |
| ara | * debian/control: | 16:12 |
| ara | + ldtp now depends on python-ldtp package, | 16:12 |
| ara | Thanks to Ben Pfaff <blp@cs.stanford.edu> (Closes: #518902) | 16:12 |
| dholbach | ah, ok | 16:12 |
| ara | dholbach: but it will be in karmic, eventually ;-) | 16:13 |
| dholbach | it'd be nice if the circular dependency could be avoided :-/ | 16:15 |
| ara | dholbach: OK. I will put it on my to do list. I will try to get debian fixed before auto-sync | 16:18 |
| dholbach | ara: if the ubuntu package has an "ubuntu" in the version number, it won't be auto-synced, but sure... it's great if it's fixed beforehand | 16:19 |
| ara | dholbach: cool, I didn't know that one ;-) | 16:19 |
| dholbach | yeah, it makes life a bit easier for us :) | 16:20 |
| dholbach | c_korn, thekorn: heya - this is something I wanted to ask for a long time already... are you guys related? :) | 16:22 |

| === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach | ||
| DktrKranz | ScottK: I asked you if build-depend on boost1.37 is good enough or boost1.35 is preferred, libtorrent-rasterbar overwrote your change, so I wanted to be sure everything is fine. | 16:34 |
| ScottK | DktrKranz: Right. That was it. | 16:34 |
| * DktrKranz didn't follow boost stuff | 16:34 | |
| ScottK | DktrKranz: Pretty much everthing is sync'ed up on 1.35 for Jaunty. IIRC 1.37 and 1.35 are not co-installable, so it could be problematic. I'd check if they are co-installable and if they are and it built, I think it's fine. | 16:35 |
| ScottK | Or if the package doesn't carry a runtime dependency, then it's fine too. | 16:36 |
| savvas | ScottK: I think only the -dev packages aren't co-installable | 16:36 |
| savvas | as far as I can remember that is :P | 16:36 |
| ScottK | savvas: OK. That'd make sense. | 16:36 |
| DktrKranz | I'll check with some rdependencies once binaries come out NEW, thanks. | 16:36 |

| DktrKranz | and P2P for his machine | 16:43 |
| * DktrKranz has two choices: bribing him to have deluge working again or find a new boss (and a new job as well) | 16:43 | |
| Laney | good for downloading Linux ISOs right | 16:43 |
| ScottK | DktrKranz: Tunnel over DNS. | 16:43 |
| DktrKranz | I'm something like a IT manager, so I can setup a tunnel | 16:44 |
| DktrKranz | but I need to connect to Belgium to do so, and it can be problematic sometimes | 16:44 |
| Laney | ScottK: Could you give libtorrent some AA love? No real urgency but it blocks some stuff, notably miro's py2.6 transition | 16:47 |
