| cjwatson | soren,slangasek: I think livecd-rootfs actually runs in a hardy chroot for hardy CD builds, and we use the hardy version of it; however the ISO building code is central and so has to be guarded as slangasek says | 00:39 |
| slangasek | ah | 00:39 |

| Cameron | hi.. i'm trying out grub2, and managed to get it to work on jaunty, both chainload and native. This was done using a separate hdd for /boot since my root partition is ext4 on lvm. Now, I wish to test using /boot on my root partition. I reconfgured /boot to be a normal folder, and ran this : grub-install /dev/sda I received this error "error: Unknown metadata header" followed by grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `Ubuntu | 01:37 |

| sabdfl | thanks colin | 14:00 |
| Keybuk | ogra, mok0: upstart will still use those LSB headers | 14:00 |
| Keybuk | in fact, we'll probably start to rely on them | 14:00 |
| Keybuk | so them being missing or wrong is a bug for Ubuntu | 14:00 |
| mok0 | Keybuk: see sabdfl's question in the scrollback | 14:00 |
| ogra | well, for karmic :) | 14:00 |
| ion_ | mok0: The more important thing is that their ordering can be automated. If new package baz must start before rc2.d/S20foo and after rc2.d/S20bar, the maintainer must discuss it with two other maintainers, and if 20foo is changed to 21foo and 20bar to 19bar, *that* may have repercussions for an indefinite number of other packages. That’s why Debian is trying to transition to automatic ordering based on LSB headers. | 14:01 |
| ogra | in jaunty its only cosmetic ... while it will do harm in karmic | 14:01 |

| tkamppeter | pitti, hi | 15:04 |
| pitti | hi tkamppeter | 15:05 |
| tkamppeter | pitti, I have a problem with applying the CUPS changes. | 15:10 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I saw your mail | 15:11 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: Debian didn't take the change? | 15:11 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: can we apply the change without the new option for now? | 15:11 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: so that all these regressions will be fixed in both Debian/Ubuntu | 15:12 |
| pitti | (I get tons of Debian bug reports as well) | 15:12 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: and then we can upload an Ubuntu-specific cups with the -origpagesizes option | 15:12 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: and sync back once Debian takes it | 15:12 |
| tkamppeter | pitti: Debian did not touch my bug report yet (I hope the maintainer comes around with it before our FF). | 15:15 |
| tkamppeter | What I have done now is to change the patch to make ./configure autodetect the presence of -origpagesizes and to build with it only if it is present. | 15:16 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: so if you could apply the bulk of the patch to bzr, and then just do an -ubuntu1 upload with the additional -origpagesizes patch, that would be best | 15:16 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: oh, great | 15:17 |
| pitti | that's even better | 15:17 |
| tkamppeter | pitti: So this means I put this bulk into the BZR and do an Ubuntu upload with a versioned Poppler build AND binary dependency in debian/contro; | 15:18 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: no, you can commit everything to bzr then; you don't need a versioned poppler dependency at all then | 15:18 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: (pdftops --help 2>&1| grep -q -- -origpagesizes ?) | 15:18 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: or how do you detect this? | 15:19 |
| tkamppeter | Yes, I check whether the help message of pdftops contains -origpagesizes. | 15:19 |
| pitti | cool | 15:20 |
| tkamppeter | But I do it at build time, so if the build server already switched to the new pdftops but the user not yet, the filter will fail. | 15:20 |
| pitti | tkamppeter: I have an idea how to fix this; please commit your's to bzr, I'll do the substvars magic | 15:20 |
| asac | anyone uses bfilter? | 15:21 |

| superm1 | asac, i'm not sure the status of that pulse bluetooth plugin, dtchen, can you comment? | 16:26 |
| superm1 | but yeah, a call for testing would be very good | 16:26 |
| asac | superm1: following the bluetooth-stack spec | 16:26 |
| asac | superm1: right. i just think we should have all the latest pieces because things seems to be still moving - especially on pulse freont | 16:26 |
| superm1 | <nods> | 16:26 |
| asac | ok so lets check after alpha2 is out | 16:27 |
| superm1 | ok sounds good to me | 16:27 |
| slangasek | mterry: no, I'm sure there are some people using it; I just think it's premature because the spec is still subject to *significant* changes before it reaches anything approaching consensus in Debian | 16:28 |
| mterry | slangasek: OK, well just be assured that there's dep5 love out there. Though some were using very pre-dep5 versions and the like | 16:28 |
| slangasek | "pre-dep5 versions" - yeah, I don't count those | 16:29 |
| asac | superm1: what bluetooth hardware do you have? | 16:29 |
| persia | The trick to using DEP5 (or a predecessor) is to be sure to specify the *precise revision* of the page that one complies with. Most users should expect to be non-compliant for their next upload. | 16:29 |
| slangasek | no one's going to write a parser to handle 300 revisions of a wiki page, chosen at random by the uploaders :P | 16:29 |
| mterry | slangasek: Meh. pre-dep5 versions is just an early dep5 | 16:29 |
| superm1 | asac, i've got a variety of dell bluetooth chips, a keyboard mouse stereo headset and mobile phone | 16:30 |
| persia | slangasek, That something happens to be compliant with a given URL doesn't mean it's compliant with the *goals* of the effort :) | 16:32 |
| slangasek | persia: that sounds like you may be violently agreeing with me | 16:32 |
| persia | slangasek, I think the only point of disagreement is that I don't mind if someone happens to use something in that format, and will happily review it against the revision they specify, rather than asking "Why?". | 16:33 |
| slangasek | oh, I don't mind if someone happens to use something in that format | 16:33 |

| asac | seb128: well, that was my idea for those rdepends left on xul 1.8, but archive admins didnt like the idea. see the bug | 17:35 |
| doko | robbiew: need to email some people about eclipse. did talk to somebody from the eclipse foundation last week | 17:35 |
| seb128 | asac: try to convince slangasek ;-) | 17:35 |
| asac | my idea was: remove xul 1.8; respin all rdepends and if nobody steps up fixing the build failures, remove them from archive | 17:35 |
| robbiew | doko: okay | 17:35 |
| asac | seb128: he commented twice on the bug ;) | 17:35 |
| seb128 | I agree we should make some efforts to try to fix those | 17:35 |
| seb128 | but in the eclipse case if it's outdated for cycles and nobody want to work on it | 17:36 |
| seb128 | it doesn't benefit our user anyway | 17:36 |
| seb128 | users | 17:36 |
| asac | seb128: i am doing that and i planned to do that, i just think it would be easier to get community contributions when we make those build depends fail | 17:36 |
| seb128 | and it can be uploaded again when somebody wants to do the update | 17:36 |
| seb128 | talk to slangasek on IRC ;-) | 17:36 |
| robbiew | I recall someone sending an email requesting we update eclipse... | 17:36 |
| * robbiew looks | 17:36 | |
| slangasek | asac, seb128: I was just backing up StevenK | 17:36 |
| seb128 | might be either that to convince him there than by bug tracker | 17:36 |
| slangasek | pointing out that nothing had changed | 17:37 |
| slangasek | I don't have a strong feeling about it :) | 17:37 |
| asac | slangasek: sure. i might have not communicated the idea appropriately | 17:37 |
| seb128 | let's talk to StevenK to see how strongly he believes about that not being right | 17:37 |
| seb128 | I doubt anybody will object to do that early in the cycle | 17:37 |
| robbiew | asac: seb128: FWIW, we did receive an email some months ago from a journalist mentioning that he was hearing from some people that only having Eclipse 3.2 in Ubuntu is "driving them nuts" | 17:42 |
| robbiew | but apparently it's not nuts enough to get them to contribute :) | 17:42 |
| asac | robbiew: yeah. wonder if its better to not have it than to have such an outdated version. | 17:42 |
| robbiew | right | 17:42 |
| ogra | it should live in a PPA | 17:42 |
| robbiew | that might be the way to go | 17:42 |
| ogra | and find a maintainer team | 17:42 |
| robbiew | we should probably wait on doko's email | 17:43 |
| * doko has some email and other backlogs ... :-/ | 17:44 | |
| asac | doko: so seems the old gjdoc thing had a version.properties in a jar. the new thing doesnt have that so --version fails | 17:45 |
| asac | doko: maybe its because i have messed up alternatives for some java stuff? how can i reset all alternatives to something reasonable? | 17:45 |

| doko | asac: where is gjdoc --version used? | 17:54 |

| asac | (0.98) | 17:55 |
| asac | doko: i can patch that check out and assume all is good, but that doesnt sound right. gcj-jdk should ship the version.properties imo | 17:55 |
| asac | doko: previously (in gjdoc) the version.properties was in /usr/share/java/gnu-classpath-tools-gjdoc.jar | 17:56 |

| sladen | Keybuk: ha. So the first people using a full native upstart system are ... Palm | 21:52 |
| Keybuk | sladen: not true, others are doing so before them | 21:53 |
| Keybuk | from this we can discern two things | 21:53 |
| Keybuk | assumedly they're using 0.3 natively (based on /etc/event.d) | 21:53 |
| Keybuk | so the first thing is that they deserve a medal for getting any kind of useful native boot to that | 21:54 |
| Keybuk | and the second thing | 21:54 |
| Keybuk | I deserve a complimentary Palm Pre | 21:54 |
| Keybuk | ,g> | 21:54 |
| sladen | Keybuk: planning on moving to CDMA land to use it? ;-) | 22:00 |
| Keybuk | sladen: good point | 22:01 |
| puff | Anybody here know the guts of apt, dkg, etc? | 22:02 |
| puff | er, dpkg. | 22:02 |
| puff | I'm typing up a suggestion for brainstorm.ubuntu.org and I'd like to bounce it off somebody. | 22:03 |
| sladen | puff: you could try asking anyway. There are people here who do know those parts of the stack /extremely/ well. They might, or might not see it, so no promises | 22:04 |
| Nafallo | either that or it might not be as much of the guts that you fear :-) | 22:05 |
| puff | Two things, really. | 22:05 |
| puff | The real suggestion is that when packages are removed or renamed, the package management system should clue you in, rather htan you being mystified, trying to remember if you spelled it right, googling like crazy and eventually finding the bug report where they discuss why kdiff3 was removed because we upgraded to kde4 and kdiff3 isn't kde4 compatible yet and you can compile it by hand, etc. | 22:07 |
| puff | Instead, when you enter "sudo apt-get install kdiff3" it should simply say "kdiff3 has been removed from the repositories, see ubuntu bug #11343141, http://etc." | 22:07 |
| ubottu | Error: Ubuntu bug 11343141 could not be found | 22:07 |
| puff | The second would be adding annotations to the installed packages; apt or whatever would prompt the user for a reason, so you know who installed it and why, and whether it was installed as a result of a dependency or deliberately. | 22:09 |
| cjwatson | puff: it seems like the sort of thing that could fit better higher up the stack, perhaps in the "appcenter" idea that's being kicked around at the moment | 22:09 |
| cjwatson | (but I'm not really here) | 22:09 |
| puff | cjwatson: The first or the second? | 22:10 |
| Keybuk | both | 22:11 |
| puff | The second suggestion would particularly aid in situations where you have multiple folks managing multiple boxes, although heck, I've had instances where I was trying to remember to myself why I installed something. | 22:11 |
| cjwatson | the first; I'm not sure about the second, we do already have a record of whether something was installed as a result of a dependency or deliberately | 22:11 |
| cjwatson | although no more than that single bit of information | 22:11 |
| cjwatson | (see apt-mark(8) etc.) | 22:11 |
| puff | The first seems like it should be more at the repository level, since multiple tools use that. | 22:11 |
| cjwatson | the reason it belongs higher up is that it's the sort of thing that we might want to add richer information to after the fact | 22:12 |
| cjwatson | and it would be better for it not to be in the repository since that tends to be harder to change | 22:12 |
| puff | I guess I can see the reasoning there, but I think it's an 80/20 thing. 80% of the value is in simply knowing that the repository changed in a not-backward-compatible way. Once you figure that out, it's much easier to hunt down *why* it changed via bug tracking, ubuntu forums, etc. | 22:13 |
| cjwatson | well, you know *that* due to Provides/Replaces/etc. if people are setting dependency relationships correctly | 22:14 |
| puff | But until you know that you're looking for something that isn't there anymore, it's kind of a crazy-making situation. | 22:14 |
| cjwatson | but the fact is that people don't :) | 22:14 |
| puff | It's bitten me at least twice, which is why I'm making the suggestion. | 22:14 |
| cjwatson | so it's probably better to have it separate, purely for practical maintenance reasons | 22:14 |
| cjwatson | right, and I'm applying ten years of experience with this kind of system to direct the suggestion to where it seems most likely to work ;-) | 22:15 |
| cjwatson | I agree that it would be useful | 22:15 |
| puff | Ah, I see... put the data somewhere that is less gate-keepered, so more folks canhelp keepit up to date. | 22:15 |
| cjwatson | but I don't honestly think it's likely to work well in the package metadata itself, even though in some theoretical sense that is the *correct* place | 22:15 |
| cjwatson | right, exactly | 22:15 |
| puff | I guess the simplest thing then would be to extend aptitude so it can query some sort of aptwiki-ish thing. | 22:16 |
| puff | Hm, or maybe just build an ubuntu aptwiki and a simple little aptitude-flavored CLI to it. | 22:16 |
| puff | With everything keyed by package names, etc. | 22:16 |
| cjwatson | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/software-library is the design work happening on this at the moment | 22:17 |
| puff | Cool. I will read and cogitate. | 22:17 |
| === rickspencer3-afk is now known as rickspencer3 | ||
| cjwatson | I don't know that your specific suggestion has been taken into account there | 22:18 |
| cjwatson | but it probably ought to be! | 22:18 |
| cjwatson | in some sense it comes under error-tolerant search but I think it's probably not quite the same | 22:18 |
| puff | I like adding GUI tools but I prefer it when they complement, not supersede, the underlying tools. | 22:19 |
| cjwatson | oh, I agree, I don't believe appcenter is intended to replace apt | 22:19 |
| cjwatson | mpt is the guy coordinating this, although he's not around right now | 22:20 |
| puff | I'll read up and try to catch up with him. | 22:20 |
| robbiew | puff: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppCenter | 22:21 |
| puff | Hm, this might dovetail with another idea I've had, which is to factor in platform-specific feedback. | 22:21 |
| cjwatson | it seems useful for that kind of thing to have a lower-level interface, of course; much of AppCenter is UI design and there are lots of places where the underlying tools are going to have to be extended a bit, or new tools written | 22:21 |
| cjwatson | e.g. the support lifetime for a package is going to have to be encoded somewhere | 22:22 |
| cjwatson | there's been talk of using debtags, which is potentially fairly flexible | 22:22 |
| cjwatson | still has the problem of the index files being frozen at release but I think debtags can use alternative data sources too | 22:22 |
| cjwatson | I suspect annotations belong lower down | 22:23 |
| cjwatson | since that doesn't involve any kind of interaction with us, it's purely local to the system | 22:24 |
| puff | Yeah, that I was thinking belonged in the dpkg records, somewhere. | 22:24 |
| puff | Or in a database "alongside" the installed packages stuff. | 22:24 |
| cjwatson | probably apt, I have this pesky desire to keep dpkg simple | 22:26 |
| cjwatson | and apt already has the auto/not-auto stuff anyway | 22:26 |
| cjwatson | (and apt would have to tell dpkg about it anyway so ...) | 22:26 |

| cjwatson | ebroder: probably better to ask outside a soft freeze | 22:29 |
| ebroder | Oh, right. Forgot about that | 22:29 |
| puff | cjwatson: Well, obviously I need to learn more about this whole topic, apt, dpkg, repos, what info's kept where. | 22:29 |
| puff | I've been bit several times by issues like this and things like problems with suspend/resume cropping up after dist-upgrading. It seems really silly for something as cool as ubuntu to have problems like this (not silly for it to have problems, silly for people to be caught unaware by them) | 22:30 |
| puff | Especially since it's mainly a matter of communicating to the community, which ubuntu is pretty good at. | 22:31 |
| puff | Okay, thanks, I will go off and do my homework now. Ciao. | 22:31 |
| cjwatson | puff: oh, don't take me as saying that there aren't bits of existing dependency relations that could be used - as I say I think there's some value in interpreting Conflicts/Replaces, Provides, etc. | 22:35 |
| sladen | cjwatson: is the actual example given (of removal of kdiff3) covered. It was presumbly removed because there wasn't a replacement (although it should have said this in the list) | 22:36 |
| cjwatson | sladen: I don't know that that particular example is covered by package relationship fields, and I think it's pretty hard to cover there, which is one reason I explicitly wasn't suggesting shoehorning everything into package relationship fields | 22:38 |
| puff | kdiff3 was apparently removed for a while (and then re-added) due to some ubuntu general switchover to kde4, or something: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdiff3/+bug/260326 | 22:43 |

| puff | Previously I ran into something similar where some podcast downloading tool, I think ipodder, mysteriously disappeared (mainly because apple threatened a lawsuit over trademark infringement). | 22:43 |
| puff | And I've run into problems where I upgraded to a new ubuntu release and fundamental stuff like suspend/resume broke, and then when I went researching it, only *then* did I find out that it was a major known issue with that architecture . | 22:45 |
| cjwatson | ipodder was replaced by castpodder, but the project kind of petered out AFAICT (at least as far as getting packages was concerned) and I'm not sure if the replacement castpodder ever made it into the archive | 22:53 |
