| twb | Can someone with a firefox installed please tell me what its x-www-browser alternative priority is set to? | 04:21 |
| twb | The file is /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-www-browser | 04:21 |
| geofft | On my Intrepid ubuntu-standard system, 40 | 04:25 |
| geofft | (it's being overriden by xlinks2 at priority 69) | 04:26 |
| twb | Really?! | 04:26 |
| twb | On Debian it's 70 | 04:26 |
| twb | Any idea why that's different? | 04:27 |
| ebroder | We were talking about this elsewhere early. My theory is that x-www-browser wants to be something that launches quickly - i.e. you get an HTML attachment, you want to open it, see the file, close the window | 04:27 |
| ebroder | Firefox is too bulky for that kind of usage | 04:27 |
| ebroder | But that's just a theory - I don't know the real reasoning | 04:28 |
| geofft | I think Jaunty has firefox at a higher priority | 04:28 |
| twb | The current ordering on Debian is ridiculous | 04:28 |
| twb | galeon and netsurf are up the top | 04:28 |
| twb | Have I got this right? | 06:49 |
| twb | "My understanding of Ubuntu numbering is that it is -0ubuntu1 only if it is actually modifying an imported Debian package of version -0. If it's a native Ubuntu package that has no relation to any Debian package, then it would just be -1." | 06:49 |
| twb | Er, and by "native Ubuntu" I really mean "not based on a Debian package". | 06:49 |
| infinity | twb: There are very few "native Ubuntu" packages in that sense, though. | 06:59 |
| twb | infinity: upstart and such | 06:59 |
| twb | infinity: but I've understood correctly, right? | 06:59 |
| laserjock | I don't think it'd be a -1, that would mean it was a Debian package | 06:59 |
| infinity | twb: Mostly, we view "packaged for Ubuntu first" packages as being "stuff that Debian hasn't gotten around to yet", and stick with the 1.2.3-0ubuntu1 versioning, so we get the merge hint if/when Debian picks it up. | 06:59 |
| twb | infinity: OK, I wasn't aware. | 07:00 |
| twb | infinity: is this new since, say, 2006? | 07:00 |
| laserjock | if it's really a native package you'd just do <version> | 07:00 |
| twb | laserjock: yeah, I misused the word "native" | 07:00 |
| laserjock | k | 07:00 |
| infinity | twb: upstart's versioned without the -XubuntuX mostly because Keybuk chose to do it that way, IMO. Not due to any particularly strict policy on who upstream is. | 07:00 |
| infinity | twb: And no, none of the versioning policy is particularly new. We've been informally doing things pretty much the same way since warty. | 07:01 |
| twb | Fair enough. | 07:01 |
| infinity | twb: But the "only packaged in Ubuntu, and nowhere else" case is fuzzy, and sometimes it goes the way of ustrart, sometimes it goes the -0ubuntu1 route, generally depending on how likely the packager thinks it is that Debian will ever pick it up. | 07:02 |
| twb | infinity: may I quote you on the debian-haskell list? | 07:02 |
| infinity | twb: (And using versions without "ubuntu" means the archive admins have to add a manual blacklist to the sync process (we have one for upstart), "just in case" Debian ever ships a version) | 07:02 |
| twb | infinity: well, Debian does ship upstart, but only in experimental | 07:03 |
| infinity | twb: Right. And when that moves to unstable, we'd accidentally sync it if we didn't have the blacklist. Hence the issue. | 07:03 |
| twb | Huh. I thought syncs were manual unless there were no differences. | 07:03 |
| infinity | twb: The fact that Keybuk happens to have been intimately familiar with the sync process, and blacklisting therein, may have influenced his versioning. :) | 07:04 |
| twb | Oh, I guess "no differences" is determined by the presence of ubuntuN | 07:04 |
| infinity | twb: Right. Syncs versus merges are entirely based on version numbers. | 07:04 |
| twb | OK, thanks. May I quote your comments above? | 07:04 |
| infinity | twb: When we autosync, anything that's not XubuntuX is auto-synced if Debian has a higher version number (unless we blacklist it). | 07:04 |
| infinity | twb: Quote away. | 07:04 |
| twb | Thanks. | 07:04 |

| gene2 | I hate asking this here, but I've searched and searched, asked on #ubuntu and got nowhere. I'm looking to find the source for linux-image-2.6.24-23-rt, when I get it using apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-23-rt, I get the regular source with the Ubuntu patch but the preempt stuff is missing, because when I tr to load the config I have running it complains about a bunch of preempt variables not existing | 08:13 |
| gene2 | I'd like to rebuild this package but I just cannot locate the ubuntu patch for 2.6.24.7-rt21, the original one does not apply clean | 08:14 |
| twb | gene2: look in debian/patches/ ? | 08:14 |
| gene2 | yes sir | 08:15 |
| twb | There might be an #ubuntu-kernel or something. | 08:15 |
| gene2 | there is no patches director in the debian directory | 08:15 |
| gene2 | thanks, I'll give it a try | 08:15 |
| twb | Unfortunately I don't know how Ubuntu does its kernel packaging, so I can't help further. | 08:18 |
| twb | Theroretically kernel-package was once used, but AIUI that was long ago | 08:18 |
| gene2 | got ya | 08:20 |
| cjwatson | gene2: by definition the only source that can possibly be used for our -rt kernel is contained in 'apt-get source <package name>' and in the build-dependencies listed in debian/control | 08:29 |
| cjwatson | gene2: the build system simply won't use anything else - so if you're not seeing something, either you're missing it or it's not there :-) | 08:30 |
| gene2 | cjwatson: I was under the same impression but I'm telling you parts of the preempt-rt patch are missing | 08:30 |
| cjwatson | *shrug* the builds don't happen by magic | 08:31 |
| cjwatson | I don't know anything about the -rt kernel, I'm just giving you immutable rules for how our build system works | 08:31 |
| gene2 | I agree, I'm going file by file looking how this patch might get applied but the way I see it now, the patch is not there | 08:31 |
| cjwatson | perhaps the patch you're looking for is not in fact applied then? | 08:32 |
| gene2 | perhaps so, it is very likely, but I cannot find where the patch lies then, when I grab the patch from the original maintainer, I can see it applies like 75%, so obviously it is not applied, the problem is I cannot find how it is applied using the rules anywhere | 08:33 |
| cjwatson | in the version you're looking at, patches are in debian/binary-custom.d/rt/ | 08:34 |
| gene2 | omg, thank you so much! I see it now, I really appreciate your help | 08:36 |
| cjwatson | I think 'debian/rules custom-prepare-rt' will give you buildable source ... somewhere | 08:37 |
| gene2 | yes, looks like it, except i was not aware of the -prepare, this will help a lot instead of applying those by hand | 08:38 |
| gene2 | thank you so much for your help, its 3:40am here, I can go to sleep now and figure out the remaining tomorrow | 08:39 |
| cjwatson | debian/build/custom-source-rt/ by the looks of things | 08:40 |
| cjwatson | is where custom-prepare-rt puts it, with the expectation that it be built with something like 'make -C debian/build/custom-source-rt O=debian/build/custom-build-rt' - see debian/rules.d/6-binary-custom.mk | 08:41 |
| gene2 | I ran fakeroot debian/rules custom-prepare-rt it applied all the patches and crapped out in the end, trying to execute something, I'm getting tooo sleepy to figure out what | 08:42 |
| cjwatson | gene2: for reference, the build system starts from a clean extracted source package (from dpkg-source -x) with 'debian/rules build' | 08:43 |
| cjwatson | of course that will build all sorts of other stuff first | 08:44 |
| cjwatson | but that's where to start if you want to trace this through | 08:44 |
| cjwatson | (it'll later run 'fakeroot debian/rules binary' or a close equivalent) | 08:44 |
| cjwatson | in general 'debuild -b' will rebuild a package from source with no changes; you can apply changes on top of that by first editing the working tree and probably also editing debian/changelog to give it a different version number | 08:45 |
| siretart_ | I've merged lintian 2.2.9 for personal use, now I wonder if it was acceptable to upload it to jaunty at this point. | 08:46 |
| gene2 | I see | 08:46 |
| cjwatson | you can pick apart the build system by hand to rebuild just the -rt bit, which will use less machine time, but it might use less human time to just rebuild the lot ... | 08:46 |
| cjwatson | siretart_: I'd rather not, it moves to a newer version of policy than is in Ubuntu | 08:46 |
| siretart_ | ok | 08:47 |
| cjwatson | siretart_: is there some particular fix you want? | 08:47 |
| siretart_ | its in my ppa anyway.. | 08:47 |
| siretart_ | cjwatson: I'm working on debian packages for unstable, so I'd like to check against policy 3.8.1 | 08:47 |
| cjwatson | ISTR I was reasonably deliberate in merging only up to 2.2.5 recently | 08:47 |
| cjwatson | if you're working on Debian packages, why not use a Debian chroot with Debian's lintian package installed? | 08:47 |
| cjwatson | that's what I do | 08:48 |
| cjwatson | since Debian requires binary uploads you need a chroot anyway | 08:48 |
| siretart_ | hm.. the main reason is that I use emacs-client to connect to my 'main' emacs session | 08:48 |
| cjwatson | isn't that just a matter of some bind-mounts? | 08:49 |
| siretart_ | perhaps I can make the debian chrooted emacsclient connect to the outside emacs? - /me goes investigating.. | 08:49 |
| cjwatson | I have a bunch of hacky scripts which set up a chroot with all sorts of bind-mounts and shims for this kind of thing | 08:49 |
| cjwatson | (they're pretty specific to me but also not hard to reinvent) | 08:49 |
| Mithrandir | you generally just want $HOME and /tmp, don't you? | 08:50 |
| Mithrandir | schroot can do that for you easily enough | 08:50 |
| siretart_ | and perhaps /srv/scratch/packages... | 08:50 |
| cjwatson | and /proc /sys /dev /dev/pts, and I actually mount bits of $HOME and /tmp separately rather than the whole thing. Also I transfer xauth and iceauth data into the chroot | 08:51 |
| cjwatson | and /etc/resolv.conf | 08:51 |
| cjwatson | I might look into schroot/dchroot one day | 08:52 |
| siretart_ | skip dchroot, schroot replaces it | 08:52 |
| slangasek | schroot is very nice | 08:55 |
| slangasek | proc and /dev/pts are handled by default; as are /home and /tmp, but your mounts are just a config file anyway | 08:57 |
| Mithrandir | slangasek: resolv.conf should arguably be done by default too. | 08:57 |
| slangasek | maybe it is | 08:57 |
| slangasek | I'm not sure I've looked :) | 08:57 |
| slangasek | it is | 08:57 |

| * hyperair thinks that was more than 3 lines of a paste. =p | 08:58 | |
| slangasek | you are correct | 08:58 |
| siretart_ | indeed. emacsclient "just works"... | 08:58 |
| * cjwatson installs schroot and puts it on the "when I get round to it" list, then | 08:59 | |
| slangasek | schroot+lvm snapshotting == win | 08:59 |

| A4Tech | written everywhere how to build packages from source | 09:14 |
| A4Tech | but I have some bash scripts | 09:14 |
| cjwatson | then you take the standard advice for building packages from source, but just leave out the bits about compiling things | 09:16 |
| A4Tech | hmm, and where to edit the path, which will set the contents of the package? | 09:17 |

| RAOF | Poot! When did compiz start preventing gnome-do from presenting properly? | 09:45 |
| * RAOF looks learily at the recent focus_on_map patch. | 09:46 | |
| RAOF | Oh, dear. It seems that compiz is no longer putting splash windows on the top of the z-order, where nature intended. | 09:50 |
| * hyperair hates splash windows anyway | 09:57 | |
| RAOF | hyperair: One _tiny_ problem: gnome-do takes out a keyboard & pointer grab, and is a splash window... | 09:58 |
| hyperair | what? seriously? | 09:59 |
| hyperair | i thought it was a dock. | 09:59 |
| hyperair | oh whoops sorry i was thinking of docky =p | 09:59 |
| RAOF | That would be the 'docky' interface, added quite recently. Which is a dock, and hence doesn't suffer from the problem. | 09:59 |
| hyperair | yeah | 10:00 |
| RAOF | All the other interfaces _are_ splash windows, take out grabs, and then aren't positioned above other windows. This makes the computer appear to behave quite strangely! | 10:00 |
| hyperair | hmm | 10:02 |
| RAOF | Compiz has an awesome dependency graph. It includes such wonders as libxine-dev. | 10:05 |
| crdlb | what pulls that in? O_o | 10:05 |
| RAOF | Some kde4 stuff, which depends on phonon, which depends on libxine. | 10:06 |
| hyperair | lol nice | 10:06 |
| crdlb | ah, wait isn't that the point of phonon? :P | 10:06 |
| RAOF | No. | 10:06 |
| hyperair | why does compiz depend upon kde4 again? | 10:06 |
