| Vantrax | anyone here good with pulling information out of gnome? | 02:26 |
| Vantrax | im trying to work out how to pull the value for the gnome power manager idle timer via dbus-send. It should look something like dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.PowerManager --type=method_call --print-reply --reply-timeout=2000 /org/gnome/PowerManager org.gnome.PowerManager.<something to do with idle timer> I just cant find the end bit | 02:26 |
| RAOF | Vantrax: You're probably better off in #gnome-hackers on irc.gimp.org for questions like that. Having said that, the d-feet dbus browser will be your friend. | 02:32 |
| Vantrax | thanks for that RAOF, ill check into both | 02:35 |
| Vantrax | RAOF: d-feet doesnt show buses existing that are listed in the gnome docs, has ubuntu changed things? org.gnome.PowerManager doesnt even exist | 02:54 |
| RAOF | As far as I know, org.gnome.PowerManager has been gone for a release or two; it changed to org.freedesktop.PowerManager, and now most if it seems to have been subsumed with org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power on the system bus. | 02:55 |
| Vantrax | ahh | 02:56 |
| Vantrax | old doco | 02:56 |
| Vantrax | im not showing devicekit, only consolekit, but im seeing what im after there i think | 03:00 |
| RAOF | Vantrax: It's changed in Karmic. | 03:01 |
| RAOF | New gnome-power-manager, new DBus API. | 03:01 |
| Vantrax | ahh | 03:05 |
| Vantrax | so its consolkit now, but changing to devicekit | 03:05 |
| RAOF | No, it's still ConsoleKit, but DeviceKit has joined it. | 03:08 |
| RAOF | There's a big proliferation of Kits. And not the cool car, sadly. | 03:08 |
| lifeless | its freaking annoying | 03:09 |
| lifeless | consolekit devicekit realtimekit sillynamekit | 03:09 |
| Vantrax | no wonder im getting confused | 03:30 |
| Vantrax | so, im 90% of the way there. | 03:30 |
| Vantrax | im getting an error from this command: dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit --type=method_call --print-reply --reply-timeout=2000 /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GetSystemIdleSinceHint string:iso8601_datetime | 03:31 |
| lifeless | should make a smileyfacelibrary called 'sadkit' | 03:31 |
| Vantrax | Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetSystemIdleSinceHint" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager" doesn't exist | 03:31 |
| Vantrax | i dont know what the signature "s" means | 03:31 |
| lifeless | string | 03:31 |
| * Vantrax is creating an idle shutdown timer | 03:32 | |
| Vantrax | so the error is likely with 'string:iso8601_datetime' | 03:32 |
| Vantrax | thats what d-feet is showing the value as tho... | 03:33 |
| * Vantrax is now very confused | 03:33 | |
| Vantrax | RAOF any ideas where the error is in that command, it should be fine based on what d-feet is spitting out | 03:40 |
| RAOF | Vantrax: No idea whatsoever, sorry. | 03:41 |
| RAOF | #gnome-hackers :) | 03:41 |
| Vantrax | lol | 03:41 |
| Vantrax | thanks again | 03:41 |

| Vantrax | i live there:P | 03:41 |
| StevenK | #I-Hate-*Kit actually exists? :-) | 03:41 |
| Vantrax | RAOF you still floating aroudn? | 04:10 |
| RAOF | Yeah, but not for long. | 04:10 |
| Vantrax | dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit --type=method_call --print-reply --reply-timeout=2000 /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GetSystemIdelSinceHint is now working, but not returning anything but and empty stromg | 04:10 |
| Vantrax | string | 04:10 |
| Vantrax | and empty string | 04:10 |
| Vantrax | from what i gather, its supposed to return the date/time that the system has been idle for | 04:11 |

| bgamari | could it be a packaging mistake? | 05:17 |
| RAOF | No. They're there, but if you follow that link you'll see you need to add the dbgsym repository. | 05:17 |
| bgamari | ahh, yep | 05:18 |
| bgamari | my bad, sorry. new to debian-esque distros | 05:18 |

| slangasek | pitti: so where is pkgbinarymangler getting hooked in that's causing this? I thought it used to only hook into dh_strip? | 06:25 |
| pitti | slangasek: right, and it still does | 06:25 |
| pitti | slangasek: argh, sorry; that was pkg-create-dbgsym | 06:26 |
| pitti | pkgbinarymangler is dpkg-deb | 06:26 |
| slangasek | ok | 06:26 |
| pitti | slangasek: it needs to update the md5sums of *.desktop | 06:26 |
| slangasek | darn, there's no way to hook it earlier? fixing up the md5sums file after invalidating it feels dirty to me | 06:27 |

| asanchez | Hi everybody, I would ask for someone with a Toshiba Dynabook UX netbook | 09:17 |
| asanchez | I ask in this channel because I remember to see one guy from Canonical with this netbook | 09:19 |
| asanchez | We are planning to buy hundreds of units of this model but we aren't able to make sound work under 9.04 but it works under 8.10 | 09:20 |
| mok0 | Hm, sound | 09:20 |
| mok0 | asanchez: you might have better luck asking in ubuntuforums | 09:21 |
| asanchez | mok0, i have just reported a bug | 09:21 |
| asanchez | but there is a very few people with this model and there is no info in any forum jet | 09:22 |
| mok0 | asanchez: that's fine, but ubuntuforums has hundreds of thousands of users and your luck there may be better. You can also try asking a question on LP instead of a bug | 09:22 |
| asanchez | I'll do, thanks | 09:23 |
| mok0 | asanchez: did you try the trivial things such as turning up the volume on the mixer? | 09:23 |
| asanchez | of course | 09:23 |
| mok0 | asanchez: sorry, I had to ask :-) It's the most common problem, I've had it myself | 09:23 |
| asanchez | mok0, :-) We are working together with Toshiba engineers but something has changed between alsa versions of intrepid and jaunty | 09:24 |
| mok0 | asanchez: Interesting... well it's pretty quiet around here just now, you may be able to reach a -dev that can help you later | 09:25 |
| mok0 | asanchez: you can also try sending a message to ubuntu-dev-discuss ML | 09:26 |
| The_Warlock | can somebody tell me how to fix my low resolution issue on upgrading to 9.04 | 09:27 |
| asanchez | mok0, ok I'll try later, thanks | 09:27 |

| * al-maisan looks | 12:01 | |
| al-maisan | pitti: it says "PENDING: Karmic pocket Release in component main and section admin" | 12:02 |
| pitti | al-maisan: right, I overwrote it to main in the NEW queue, but didn't accept them | 12:03 |
| pitti | (since I uploaded them) | 12:03 |
| pitti | so they should be stuck in NEW until some archive admin reviews them | 12:03 |
| al-maisan | pitti: did you observe that expected behaviour in previous similar cases? | 12:04 |
| pitti | al-maisan: yes, it always said the queue after the build status before | 12:04 |
| pitti | like (ACCEPTED), or (NEW), or (DONE) | 12:05 |
| pitti | al-maisan: check non-edge: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sg3-utils/1.27~repack-0ubuntu1 | 12:05 |

| seb128 | mok0: try autoreconf rather | 12:50 |
| mok0 | seb128: libtoolize works... | 12:51 |
| mok0 | seb128: I plan to let the new ltmain.sh etc. come via diff.gz, you agree it's ok to do it like that? | 12:52 |
| mok0 | seb128: the .diff.gz is pretty dirty already | 12:52 |
| seb128 | I don't know this package enough to comment | 12:52 |
| seb128 | I tend to put autotools changes in a patch in the debian directory | 12:53 |
| mok0 | seb128: me too, but for a rebuild I'd rather not mess with patches | 12:53 |
| seb128 | a rebuild should not break this way | 12:53 |
| seb128 | if it does that's because you have a bug | 12:54 |
| mok0 | seb128: the bug is that upstream is distributing an age-old version of libtool files | 12:54 |
| seb128 | which is fine if you don't run autotools at build time | 12:54 |
| mok0 | seb128: it's not run | 12:55 |
| mok0 | seb128: ... and it's also not fine :-) | 12:56 |
| seb128 | it's probably run because of a timestamp issue or something | 12:56 |
| seb128 | there is no reason why it should break otherwise | 12:56 |
| mok0 | seb128: oh, ltmain.sh is always run, to make libraries | 12:57 |
| mok0 | seb128: that's why it helps to use a newer one | 12:58 |
| seb128 | it's rather some autotools which are run there or you would not have the error | 12:58 |
| seb128 | "line 847: X--mode=compile: command not found" | 12:59 |
| seb128 | you usually get that when running autotools not correct | 12:59 |
| seb128 | ie missing some update commands | 12:59 |
| mok0 | seb128: that disappears after running libtoolize -fc in srcdir | 12:59 |
| seb128 | right | 12:59 |
| seb128 | as said the bug is there when you don't run all the required commands | 13:00 |
| mok0 | seb128: it IS doing something strange in the build... | 13:00 |

| tedg | ogra, it should be virtually invisible unless someone is indicating something. That's changing after the discussion at UDS, but I haven't fixed it yet :) | 14:13 |

| ScottK | mterry: When you're around I have a comment on the syslog migration spec .... | 14:50 |
| mterry | ScottK: OK, shoot! | 14:50 |
| ScottK | mterry: There were a couple of packages that had package specific functionality to support starting chrooted in the old sysklogd package. Are you migrating those too? | 14:51 |
| ScottK | I added stuff for unbound and I think ltsp had something too. | 14:51 |
| ScottK | I didn't see it mentioned in the spec, so I thought I'd ask. | 14:52 |
| mterry | ScottK: The spec talks about that -- says it's out of scope for the spec, but an email should be sent saying how to do it in rsyslog | 14:52 |
| mterry | ScottK: Under "Other packages" | 14:52 |
| mterry | ScottK: Unless I'm misreading you | 14:53 |
| ScottK | mterry: OK. I missed that. It seems to me it's a regression not to migrate that stuff. | 14:53 |
| mterry | ScottK: Yeah, migration would be good. I just think we wanted to consider it not a blocker | 14:53 |
| ScottK | mterry: I just re-read that bit. You are misreading me I think. | 14:54 |
| ScottK | These are Ubuntu unique bits that are in the ksyslogd package. | 14:54 |
| ScottK | It's stuff to help other packages, but shipped in our default syslog. | 14:54 |
| * mterry looks a bit more | 14:56 | |
| mterry | ScottK: No, I think I'm still reading you right. For example, with unbound, you can now instead drop a config file in /etc/rsyslog.d that contains a line like "$AddUnixListenSocket /var/lib/unbound/dev/log". This would be done in unbound pkg, not rsyslog | 15:03 |
| ScottK | mterry: In sysklogd there's also an update to the rc script needed. Is such a thing not needed with rsyslog? | 15:08 |
| mterry | ScottK: No, the default config file includes all files in /etc/rsyslog.d that end in '.conf' | 15:08 |
| ScottK | OK. | 15:08 |
| ScottK | So it looks like I have to install the package specific conf file and then restart rsyslog | 15:10 |
| mterry | ScottK: postfix has an example of doing just that -- adding a socket | 15:10 |
| mterry | ScottK: Uh, yeah, sounds right | 15:10 |
| ScottK | mterry: Thanks. I'll look at that. | 15:11 |
| ScottK | stgraber: ^^^ affects you too for ltsp I believe. | 15:11 |
| lool | cjwatson: Hey, I'd like to push that sudo patch for /etc/environment parsing; are you ok with this? | 15:12 |
| cjwatson | lool: I haven't had time to review it, I'm afraid, but go for it | 15:12 |
| lool | Ok, thanks | 15:12 |
| stgraber | ScottK: I'll need to check, AFAIK the only thing LTSP does with syslog is redirecting everything to a remote syslog server (usually on the LTSP server) so I'll need to check what happens to the config file for that | 15:15 |
| ScottK | stgraber: I didn't look into details, just that you had some package specific magic that would need to be considered. | 15:16 |
| ogra | stgraber, no, it doesnt | 15:19 |
| ogra | stgraber, by default ltsp doesnt log at all | 15:20 |
| stgraber | ogra: right, but the only use we have for syslog is to do remote logging right ? | 15:20 |
| ogra | but the syslog initscript has an override so you can put ltsp specific defaults into /etc/ltsp | 15:20 |
| stgraber | ah, that I didn't know :) will need to look at that then | 15:20 |
| ogra | thats the only change thats applied to syslog related to ltsp | 15:20 |
| ogra | but not overly important to keep imho | 15:21 |
| stgraber | thought we only generated a syslog.conf, didn't know we had a patch on syslog | 15:21 |
| ogra | we dont touch syslog.conf | 15:24 |
| ogra | its a conffile :) | 15:24 |
| ogra | # allow ltsp to override | 15:24 |
| ogra | test ! -r /etc/ltsp/syslogd || . /etc/ltsp/syslogd | 15:24 |
| ogra | thats the patch | 15:24 |
| ogra | meh, wheer is my approx initscript gone | 15:27 |
| ogra | *where | 15:27 |
| ogra | argh | 15:28 |
| ogra | * Change approx to run under inetd (closes: #517217, #479493) | 15:28 |
| ogra | how silly | 15:28 |
| ScottK | mterry: In the postfix example, how does rsyslog get restarted? | 15:35 |
| mterry | ScottK: Let me see. Maybe it doesn't | 15:35 |
| * ScottK eyeballs lamont. | 15:35 | |
| mok0 | Requesting a give-back on gdal for arch armel https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdal/1.5.4-4/+build/1051957 | 15:36 |
| ScottK | mok0: I'll do it. | 15:36 |
| mok0 | ScottK, thanks a lot | 15:36 |
| mterry | ScottK: Yeah, don't think it does. Comment in .conf file says "when rsyslog is restarted." Probably should restart | 15:36 |
| ScottK | mok0: It's already retried. Also since it's in Universe you could do it yourself. | 15:37 |
| mok0 | ScottK, Hm, I don't have the link to rebuild... | 15:37 |
| ScottK | mok0: It's already needs-building. | 15:37 |
| mok0 | ScottK, ah, that's why, I see | 15:38 |
| mok0 | ScottK, thx | 15:38 |
| lamont | ScottK: I was just acking the debian NMU | 15:38 |
| ScottK | No problem. | 15:38 |
| ScottK | lamont: OK. Well if I understand it right, rsyslog won't know about the socket until after it's restarted. That doesn't seem right to me. | 15:39 |
| ScottK | Install package and some indeterminate time later logging works .... | 15:39 |
| ScottK | mterry: What's the preferred solution here? | 15:39 |
| mterry | ScottK: It should be harmless to restart rsyslog. I've never done that before (restart a service when installing a different package), so I'm not clear on most-recommended way of doing it | 15:40 |
| mterry | ScottK: But seems like it's worth doing | 15:40 |
| ScottK | mterry: OK. I think it's reasonable as part of the "Other packages" part of the spec for the spec to recommend the appropriate solution. | 15:41 |
| ScottK | I'll implement it for unbound and (if lamont doesn't first) postfix, but I'd like to be following a standard approach. | 15:42 |
| mterry | ScottK: Agreed. I was going to work on that section when it came time to send the email out | 15:42 |
| ScottK | mterry: OK. What's your timeline for that? | 15:42 |
| lool | libsgutils1 and 2 recommend sg3-utils since dapper with no rationale; I see sg3-utils only contains doc and binaries and libsgutil* don't reference any exec symbols, so it seems like this dep could be dropped and we could save space on the CD; any reason not to demote it? | 15:43 |
| mterry | ScottK: Wanted to get my changes committed at least. But they don't affect this part of rsyslog. No reason it can't be done sooner rather than later. I'll look at it | 15:43 |
| ScottK | mterry: Thanks. | 15:43 |
| mterry | ScottK: Certainly could do it this week | 15:43 |
| * ScottK sits back and waits for the mail. | 15:43 | |
| mterry | :) | 15:44 |
| cjwatson | or you could have rsyslog use inotify for its configuration directory | 15:44 |
| mterry | True, but I'd rather not patch it like that if possible | 15:46 |
| ScottK | It might be simpler and more reliable that making every package that uses a chroot restart syslog. | 15:51 |
| * ScottK resumes sitting. | 15:51 | |

| janisozaur | do the -dbg packages provide profiling information? | 19:00 |

| janisozaur | tjaalton, according to http://www.cs.utah.edu/dept/old/texinfo/as/gprof.html (for gnu gprof) they require additional info to just -g, as in -pg | 19:06 |
| janisozaur | tjaalton, but your statement is of course correct, they *need* debugging symbols, just it's not enough | 19:07 |
| tjaalton | ok | 19:08 |
| janisozaur | actually it kind of makes sense - as compiling an app for profiling generates lots of output into a file and all the additional calls to handle that make an app run slower, so it would be useless for day-to-day use after installing -dbg | 19:09 |

| wjblack | I recently backported the r8169 driver from 2.6.30 to 2.6.28 (big missing interrupt fix) and was wondering what the "blessed" way to make a package of just this driver is. I've made .debs before and am interested in possibly doing a PPA. Anyone have a doc link handy (I couldn't find anything terribly obvious)? | 20:19 |
| wjblack | ...or am I better off asking in #ubuntu-kernel? | 20:21 |
| kees | Riddell: thanks for the reminder! | 20:22 |
| kees | Riddell: approved and noted. | 20:23 |
| andrew_sayers | wjblack: I worked out how to put packages in a PPA by reading through the Ubuntu Packaging Guide (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide). It's probably not the quickest solution, and I'm probably not the best person to ask, but it worked for me. | 20:24 |
| andrew_sayers | (and scraps from half a dozen other places, IIRC) | 20:24 |
| wjblack | Okie-dokie. That's a start. (Was looking for a pointer more than a handout anyway ;-) ). | 20:25 |
| wjblack | I suppose the whole "How do I package?" question is nearly orthogonal to the "what should I call it?" question, too. Perhaps the latter is a question best suited for the kernel folks. | 20:26 |

| magcius | tgpraveen1, I'm trying to find it. | 20:48 |
| magcius | Ah, found it. | 20:49 |
| magcius | tgpraveen1, I would think it would be a dream for developers not to have to worry about packaging systems and things like this, and have PackageKit abstract the entire thing. | 20:54 |
| magcius | What's the primary motivation for Ubuntu *NOT* to adopt it? I haven't seen one in the thread. | 20:54 |
| ScottK | magcius: Magical theoretical package systems don't usually pan out in real life. | 20:56 |
| ScottK | Since virtually no developers inhabit the forums, forums threads are generally a good source of developer opinions on stuff. | 20:56 |
| magcius | PackageKit is far from "magical" | 20:57 |
| magcius | And it's not even a package system. | 20:57 |
| magcius | It's an API that abstracts the interface to the lower-level package management system. | 20:57 |
| ScottK | Right which is why it's completely orthogonal to not having to worry about packaging | 20:58 |
| magcius | What do you mean? | 20:58 |
| ScottK | I mean "Use packagekit" doesn't mean "developers don't have to worry about packaging systems" | 20:59 |
| ScottK | Also packagekit does not completely abstract the Debian system anyway. | 21:00 |
| ScottK | We switched to using KPackageKit in Kubuntu and are missing features as a result. | 21:00 |
| magcius | Hmmph. | 21:01 |
| magcius | What about ConsoleKit? | 21:02 |
| ScottK | magcius: One example is we don't have a way to let users know about configuration file conflicts and resolve them. | 21:02 |
| * ScottK knows less about that. | 21:02 | |
| magcius | ScottK, shouldn't it be the apps' | 21:02 |
| magcius | app's job to handle migration? | 21:02 |
| ScottK | magcius: No. It's the package's job. The app may not even be running when the upgrade happens. | 21:03 |
| magcius | Yeah... an app breaking backwards-compatibility with old configuration files and not migrating them is not the sign of a good app. | 21:03 |
| ScottK | In Debian/Ubuntu it's the package manager's job. | 21:04 |
| magcius | Most users don't see or want to see configuration files... how can you expect them to know how to merge conflicts? | 21:04 |
| ScottK | That was the argument for moving to kpackagekit. | 21:04 |
| ScottK | It's a regression from what we had before. | 21:04 |
| magcius | Can't Canonical work on the front-ends? | 21:04 |
| magcius | I know gnome-package-kit sucks, but aren't Red Hat and Canonical working on that? | 21:05 |
| ScottK | If one wants to arbitrarily redefine package management to be what packagekit supports, then it's great. | 21:05 |
| * ScottK has no idea. | 21:05 | |
| magcius | Canonical's position of this one huge AppCenter makes less sense to me. | 21:05 |
| magcius | It's like they want to ignore standards and proprietarize the Linux app market. | 21:06 |
| ScottK | packagekit also lacks the ability to let the user select from different ways to resolve dependencies. | 21:06 |
| magcius | ScottK, I have never needed to select that. Ever. | 21:06 |
| * ScottK has. | 21:06 | |
| * Sarvatt has too, MANY times | 21:06 | |
| magcius | ScottK, isn't it fairly easy to resolve dependencies? | 21:07 |
| ScottK | Usually | 21:07 |
| magcius | Just look at the Depends metadata, and traverse down each package, hoping nothing will conflict. | 21:07 |
| ScottK | It's what happens when hope fails that gets complex. | 21:07 |
| ScottK | Have a look at Aptitude's dependency resovler code for some idea how complex. | 21:08 |
| magcius | What about smart? | 21:08 |
| magcius | PackageKit can be used on top of smart. | 21:08 |
| Sarvatt | packagekit-gnome is in the repos now, whats the problem? | 21:08 |
| magcius | Sarvatt, yeah, but it doesn't provide the integration like Fedora has. | 21:08 |
| magcius | And it's also the outdated 0.3 branch | 21:09 |
| magcius | Sarvatt, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutoFontsAndMimeInstaller | 21:09 |
| Sarvatt | speaking of which, are there any plans to package polkit-gobject alot of things are starting to need? | 21:09 |
| magcius | I would love to see PolicyKit be used instead of gksu/gksudo :( | 21:10 |
| === WelshDragon is now known as YDdraigGoch | ||
| ScottK | That's a goal for Ubuntu for Karmic | 21:13 |
| magcius | Are they going to provide patches to GNOME upstream or patch downstream? | 21:13 |
| magcius | How far along is Karmic right now? | 21:14 |
| evanrmurphy | magcius: Here's the Karmic release schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule | 21:16 |
| ScottK | slangasek: Are you doing archive stuff today? | 21:16 |
| magcius | Also... would the broken hibernate be considered a papercut? | 21:17 |
| evanrmurphy | magcius: IMO hibernate would be nontrivial to fix, so I don't think it's a papercut. But it's certainly a serious bug. | 21:25 |
| magcius | evanrmurphy, do you know what the cause is? | 21:26 |
| magcius | Also... is Upstart still a dream or is there actually some concrete progress? | 21:28 |
| evanrmurphy | magcius: Unfortunately I'm not certain, but my impression is it has to do with the headaches of interfacing with hardware. Perhaps less-than-great drivers are a contributing factor... anyone else wanna chime in here? | 21:29 |
| magcius | evanrmurphy, supposedly people have fixed it with s2disk and s2ram | 21:30 |
| magcius | ScottK, #gnome says that GNOME has used PolicyKit for some time now (for the Administration menu items), and that Debian is patching it. | 21:35 |
| * ScottK is a KDE guy, so doesn't really keep track. | 21:36 | |
| jpds | magcius: Yes, we use PolicyKit for some bits and pieces, don't know the details myself. | 21:43 |
| magcius | jpds, #gnome said that Debian was the one that did the integration with gksu/gksudo, and that GNOME has had a dependency on PolicyKit for some time now. | 21:43 |

| onexused | I see there are screenshots for some programs in synaptic, but not all. Where could I contribute screenshots for the programs that I use? (Is this the correct place to ask?) | 23:02 |
| mathiaz | kees: should a MIR for mysql-dfsg-5.1 be written in order to move 5.1 to main and 5.0 to universe? | 23:05 |
| kees | mathiaz: yes, with coverage of why we're using 5.1 instead of maria, to maybe? | 23:10 |
| mathiaz | kees: you mean mariadb? | 23:11 |
| mathiaz | kees: AFAICT there isn't mariadb package available | 23:11 |
| kees | mathiaz: ah, dang. should poke mneptok about it | 23:12 |
| ajmitch | how mature is that now? | 23:12 |
| kees | no idea | 23:12 |
| ajmitch | website says a release of mariadb 5.1 in august, at least | 23:13 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: right | 23:13 |
| kees | *snore* | 23:13 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: maria is basically the maria storage engine with some community patches that have been around for some time and that haven't been integrated in mysql yet | 23:14 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: some of the community patches are probably the ones from percona | 23:15 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: the thing is that I haven't seen any debian packages | 23:15 |
| ajmitch | probably because the debian mysql maintainer has been fairly overloaded | 23:15 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: yeah - totally - norbert is doing an amazing job as he is the only one actively maintaining mysql packages | 23:16 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: 5.1 is available from experimental | 23:16 |
| ajmitch | yeah, I've got it installed here on a sid install | 23:17 |
| mathiaz | and I think we should move 5.1 to main for the next LTS | 23:17 |
| ajmitch | since we use mysql a lot at work | 23:17 |
| mathiaz | otherwise kees is going to cry for the next 5 years | 23:17 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: are you using 5.0 or 5.1? | 23:17 |
| ajmitch | 5.0 for production, on lenny at the moment | 23:18 |
| mathiaz | kees: should I write up a MIR for 5.1 before uploading the new 5.1 package that will do the switch to the archive? | 23:19 |
| mrooney | pitti: if an mp3 player is missing from the hal list of audio devices, should a bug go against hal or devicekit, or somewhere up stream? | 23:24 |
| ajmitch | mathiaz: I'll take a quick look at getting some mariadb packages working, I'd like to try it out & see how it goes | 23:31 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: awesome - thanks. | 23:32 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: once you get something working, let mneptok know about it | 23:32 |
| mathiaz | ajmitch: he should greatly appreciate it | 23:32 |
| directhex | NCommander, current issues: nothing worth noting. with the 2.4+dfsg-4 upload, we now include unit testing as part of the build, so we have an easy way to notice arch issues. older arches may contain bugs, but in the absence of test kit, hard for us as packagers to isolate | 23:32 |
| NCommander | directhex, yeah, I discovered for some reason my board didn't upgrade with dist-upgrade, so karmic is ok, but jaunty/mono is very very hosed | 23:33 |
| directhex | NCommander, hosed at what point - runtime? compile? app execution? etc | 23:36 |
| directhex | NCommander, best bet is to quiz vargaz on #mono on gimpnet - if anyone can think of specific commits relating to specific runtime problems, it's him | 23:40 |
