ebroderIs there any chance of seeing dpkg 1.15 merged into Karmic at this point, or is it too late in the release cycle?00:31
ebroderAnybody? I'd like to see the fix to Debian #476899 make it into Karmic, but I don't want to expend the effort if I'd be wasting my time00:37

ebroderFair 'nuff00:38
ajmitchthere's still a few weeks until feature freeze so it's far from impossible00:39
TheMusoMaybe another 10-12 hours at least, since the people who work on dpkg are in EU timezones.00:39
ebroderajmitch: More than a few weeks; I just don't know what kind of special treatment dpkg gets00:39
* ajmitch wouldn't really be willing to do that merge right now :)00:39
ebroderMoM says it's a small merge. Not convinced I believe it, but you know00:40

StevenKpitti: I had one dorky question about the MIRs for UNR -- does ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings really need an MIR given it's effectively a bunch of gconf defaults and some packaging around them?07:03
superm1pitti, no problems. just wanted to make sure i had some time later this week to sort out anything with it necessary.  switching a few things to depend on such changes and wanted to time it all right07:03
superm1thanks07:03
pittiStevenK: MIR bug/task, yes; wiki page for trivial packages, simple language bindings, etc., no07:03
pittiStevenK: for small packages, just have a quick look at the bugs in D/U07:04
StevenKpitti: Right, okay, so I'll leave the task in the bug alone, but I won't write an MIR for it.07:04
pittiStevenK: and such meta-packages don't generally require any effort at all, ubuntu-mir just has a quick look at the packaging07:04
StevenKpitti: And there is no task for the meta package (unr-meta), should I add one?07:04

tkamppeterpitti, I am looking through it currently to update the status. There were two situations how users could run into a Ghostscript upstream bug. One was fixed by the foomatic-db-engine SRU, the other gets fixed by the CUPS SRU of bug 382379.07:32

tkamppeterpitti, Great. Thanks.07:34

pittitkamppeter: thanks07:38
pittitkamppeter: the open ghostscript task is still valid then?07:39
tkamppeterpitti, yes. The upstream bug in Ghostscript is not fixed yet. We do not need to do an SRU when the Ghostscript developers fix the problem, as the changes in foomatic-db-engine, in cups, and also automatic updating of PPD files of existing print queues in all printer driver packages prevent from the Ghostscript bug affecting any Ubuntu user.07:43
ebroderpitti: Just saw the build failures for xen-3.3 to karmic. I swear these built the last time I touched them :)07:50

\shmoins08:16
al-maisanpitti: I was wondering  what a "fake sync" is ..08:16
pittial-maisan: ah, it's essentially: take our orig.tar.gz, apply the debian diff.gz, add a "-Xbuild1" changelog with "fake sync from Debian (different orig.tar.gz)"08:16
al-maisanpitti: I see .. thanks!08:17
pittial-maisan: that's something mvo can do easily, not necessary to upload a patch or so08:18
dholbachal-maisan: it's cases where we can't sync because soyuz (and dak) already know a file named project_version.orig.tar.gz with a different md5sum08:18
al-maisanpitti: even better, the ball is mvo's court now :)08:18
al-maisandholbach: gotcha!08:19
ebroderHey pitti: Xen died because it's being built with -Werror and threw a bogus warning. How bad would it be to add a -Wno-error for that particular subdirectory?08:25
pittiebroder: you can't fix the warning?08:25
pittiebroder: no-error is fine for me08:25
ebroderI'm not seeing an easy way to fix the warning08:26
ebroderOk, I think -Wno-error is the most straightforward fix, honestly08:26
pittiebroder: calling memset with zero length?08:27
pittithat doesn't make sense08:27
ebroderYeah. It's actually calling memset with sizeof(a_struct) where a_struct is an empty struct08:27
pittiwhat's the code doing?08:27
pittiebroder: couldn't you just comment out that memset then?08:27

jameshpitti: do you how hard would it be to write a dh_shlibdeps style program if I've already got the logic to determine file dependencies?08:33
pwnguinnew eclipse?08:34
pittijamesh: what is a file dependency?08:34
pittijamesh: in general, dh_* are pretty easy (just look at it, it's perl)08:34
pittithe dh lib does all the ground work for you already08:35
jameshpitti: This is to try and automatically calculate dependencies for Erlang programs08:35
pittijamesh: everything it needs to do is to set a dpkg variable ${your:depends} to the value you compute08:35
jameshpitti: I did a proof of concept Python program that can scan the Erlang .beam files, determine what they import, scan the /usr/lib/erlang directory to find those modules and finally do "dpkg -S" to find the package names08:36
pittijamesh: dh_shlibdeps is 88 lines of code, of which you can probably reuse most08:36
pittijamesh: oh, that wouldn't be debhelper then, though08:37
pittisince that has to work at build time without all the (potetial) dependencies being installed08:37
pittiif you build-depend on them, it would work, of course08:37
pittibut then you already figured them out?08:38
pwnguindoko: excellent08:38
jameshpitti: from the small sample of Erlang packages I've looked at, they generally build-depend on their dependencies08:38
jameshI'm not sure if that's due to a requirement in the compiler or not though08:38
pittijamesh: could be; for programs with test suites during build you also generally need them08:39
jameshpitti: out of interest, if this job weren't being done by debhelper, what would do it?08:44
pittijamesh: as I said, if the purpose is to fish out the three needed dependencies from your erlang-all-libs-meta package, dh is fine08:44
pittijamesh: there is little precedent for figuring out dependencies which aren't installed by b-deps, I'm afraid08:45
pittijamesh: for C programs, people generally determine build dependencies by a combination of reading configure.ac, READMEs, and try&error08:46
ebroderpitti: Should I open a new bug for the Xen FTBFS bug, or just attach it to the one with the ubuntu10 patch?08:46
jameshpitti: I basically want something that will get correct minimal dependencies for binary packages and not break when the next upstream release comes out08:46
pittiebroder: as you wish; reopen it if you do the latter08:47
ebroder*nods*08:47
jamesh(or reduce the set of dependencies if upstream drops a dependency)08:47
pittijamesh: dh sounds fine then, if you assume that b-deps pull everything in that you potentially need08:47

ttxdoko: one issue is that the patched ca-certificates-java won't build in current karmic (with ca-certificates preventing ca-certificates-java to install as a build-dep)09:29
lesshastehi.. I have a weird bug where after a poweroff (shutdown -h or shutdown -P) my laptop skips grub when it restarts but after a restart (shutdown -r) it doesn't09:30
ttxdoko: so ca-certificates might need to be temporarily reverted first09:30
lesshastethe problem is that I am missing some key facts.. does jaunty have some script that kick starts the kernel super fast somehow? (kexec?)09:30
lesshastethat might be causing this09:30
cjwatsonlesshaste: only if you have the kexec-tools package installed. Do you?09:30
dokottx: yes, two ca-certificates upload (buildN) with the -java upload in between should work09:31

cjwatsonI have seen another bug report to this effect, but have no idea what could be causing it09:32
lesshastecjwatson: so on a technical level, which part of the system could skip grub?09:33
cjwatsonnone that I'm aware of09:33
cjwatsonyou're sure the whole of grub is actually being skipped, and not just the grub menu?09:33

mdzcjwatson, I think I probably committed locally (thinking I was bound), and then later did 'bzr bind'11:04
cjwatsonyes, you need push as well as bind in that case11:05
mdzthe resulting state shows no pending changes with 'bzr status' but in fact there are de facto uncommitted changes11:05
cjwatsonwhich is a bit annoying and confusing, I remember filing a bug about that ages ago11:05
cjwatsonI think bind should automatically push11:05
mdzso I forgot about the commit because I couldn't see it anywhere11:05
mdzcjwatson, at the least, bzr status should show outstanding changes11:05
cjwatsonor tell you if it couldn't11:05
pittimdz: I added you to ~apport-hackers now11:05
mdzpitti, thanks11:05
pittipush should work now11:05
mdzpitti, 1490 should be there now11:05

Keybukmdz: bzr missing would have told you what was up11:13
mdzKeybuk, hmm, that's not part of my normal workflow11:13
Keybukbut I agree, local extra revisions should be included in status output of a checkout11:13
Keybuksince you only tend to learn missing if you follow a local branch/push to trunk workflow11:13
tseliotcjwatson: I need to check the product name of a laptop so that the debian-installer proceeds with the installation only on that specific model. I'm using dmidecode to check the product name. Would /etc/rcS.d/ be the right place to perform the check? (or maybe /usr/lib/base-installer.d ?)11:21
cjwatsonneither11:22
cjwatsondo you just want to halt or something if it doesn't match, or do you want to display UI?11:22
tseliotcjwatson: just halt and print a string of text with the reason why it stopped11:23
cjwatson/usr/lib/debian-installer-startup.d/ would be appropriate, then11:23
cjwatsonerr, sorry, make that /lib/debian-installer-startup.d/11:24

mdzpitti, I wonder why LP didn't automatically link the bug to that commit11:32
pittimdz: did you specify --fixes lp:12345?11:32

mdzpitti, no, I just put it in the log message11:33
mdzI thought that took care of things automatically11:33
pittiit doesn't parse log messages11:34
pittimdz: for ubuntu packages, debcommit parses LP: #xxxx out of debian/changelot11:34

ograbanshee and tomboy have probs, havent debugged deeper yet14:06

ogradirecthex, either14:07
ogradirecthex, Bug 39112414:07
pittiScottK: ah, another round?14:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 391124 in tomboy "tomboy crashes on ARM hardware if notification icon is clicked" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39112414:07
ScottKpitti: We're about to do another round of major updates in -backports, but for Jaunty it should be updatable into -proposed with the existing minor version update authority, so it's a separate issue.14:08
pittiScottK: I see, so they should go to -proposed directly14:09
ScottKFor Jaunty, yes.14:09
directhexogra, looks like a gtk# problem. i'd forward it upstream asap14:09
ograwill do14:09
ScottKpitti: The question is about packaging updates.  When I've done point release updates in the past, I've packaged the new upstream for that release based on that release's packaging and not updated the packaging more than absolutely required.14:09
ogradirecthex, mono-debuuger would surely be helpful :P14:10
pittiScottK: right, makes sense14:10
ScottKpitti: The clamav package we released Jaunty with was still not terribly mature, so I'd like to capture the packaging improvements too this time.14:10
ScottKSo I'm curious how you feel about that and how much detailed justification you want.14:10
pittiScottK: what would that change in particular?14:10
pittiScottK: changes to debconf, any conffiles, etc. are generally a no-go area IMHO14:11
ScottKThere are some improvements in the inits.  All the debconf translations now match the actual questions.14:11
pittiScottK: cleanup to rules, debhelper, etc. (internal build process) is bearable14:11
pittitranslation fixes are okay, we update them regularly anyway14:11
ScottKOK.14:12
directhexogra, yes, but the debugger's backend is C - and someone would need to port it to arm. until novell start getting demand from commercial arm/linux users (their main arm port is osx) then it'll not be a priority for upstream14:12
ScottKpitti: How about init scripts?14:12
pittiScottK: not for debconf translations generally, but it's the same result for the user14:12
ScottKOK14:12
ogradirecthex, yeah, understood, and apparently its not an easy task14:12
pittiScottK: I'm not fond of conffile changes post release, since they cause prompting and potential hassle14:12
ScottKpitti: OK.  I'll look through it in detail and make sure I only pull out what makes sense.14:13
directhexogra, well, being written in C is like kryptonite for me, so this is one i can't help with :p14:13
ScottKpitti: Thanks for the feedback.14:13
ogramcasadevall took a look and told me its not trivial ...14:13
pittiScottK: whichever approach is easier then, I guess (revert init script changes and keep the rest, or just update upstream version and keep packaging)14:13
pittiScottK: thanks for working on this!14:13

CaesarWhen Ubuntu merges a package from Debian unstable, is that the end of paying attention to what happens to it in Debian?23:29
CaesarFor a concrete case, I'm thinking specifically of libxcb in Hardy23:30
TheMusoc23:30
CaesarDebian just updated Lenny's version of it to address performance issues23:30
CaesarIt's the same underlying version that is in Hardy23:30
CaesarSo if I hadn't noticed and filed bugs against Ubuntu, would Ubuntu have noticed?23:31

CaesarBy extension, what happens if RC bugs get filed against the Debian version after it's been synced into Ubuntu?23:31

Caesarslangasek either I guess23:31
cjwatsonkirkland: the server CD installer itself isn't PAE23:31
cjwatsonkirkland: you need to actually install it23:32
cjwatsonand then try to boot the resulting system23:32
kirklandcjwatson: ah, okay, let me do that23:32
slangasekCaesar: in the case of a sync, there's not generally perceived to be an obligation on the part of the syncer to track the bug status of the package in Debian going forward, and the tools currently available don't exactly facilitate that23:32
cjwatsonkirkland: now, admittedly I was experimenting with grub2 and LVM ... but as far as I can tell it's got past the obvious problem points there and is reading the filesystem successfully23:32
slangasekCaesar: in the case of a merge, you're "touched-it-last" for the package and are expected to watch whether there are further updates from Debian that should be merged in the cycle23:32
cjwatson(I tend to do experiments like that with the server CD just because it's quicker)23:33

cjwatsonkirkland: karmic i38623:36
kirklandcjwatson: what cpu?23:37
kirklandcjwatson: pae, or non-pae on the host?23:37

kirklandcjwatson: curious, do you have any older pae-kerneled images lying around?  do those work, or are those broken too?23:39
cjwatsonkirkland: not easily - jaunty server i386 worked not *that* long ago though23:39
kirklandcjwatson: right, i have definitely tested that one pretty extensively, don't know that i've tested karmic-i386 lately23:40
kirklandcjwatson: i'm onsite at eucalyptus, pulling the karmic-i386 iso now23:40
cjwatsonthe patch in http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/qemu-0.10.50-6.kvm86.fc12.src.rpm/qemu-fix-cpuid-trimming.patch?extract=true doesn't seem to apply23:40
kirklandcjwatson: if you're slightly brave, you can try the daily build of qemu-kvm at https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-virt/+archive/virt-daily-upstream23:41
kirklandcjwatson: qemu-kvm will be replacing/providing/conflicting qemu and kvm very soon23:41
kirklandcjwatson: that's built from upstream git, which might have this patch, perhaps23:43
kirklandcjwatson: you can bzr branch lp:qemu-kvm and check the logs23:43
kirklandcjwatson: otherwise, i'm downloading the iso now and can try to reproduce it here23:44
cjwatsonhttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-virt/+archive/virt-daily-upstream description needs a sudo before tee23:45
kirklandcjwatson: thanks23:49
kirklandcjwatson: is there any way do disable graphics mode in the server installer, such that i can use kvm -curses?23:49
kirklandcjwatson: if so, I could boot/install this entirely remotely without vnc :-)23:50
kirklandcjwatson: *very* low bandwidth :-)23:50
geofftkirkland: you're asking about putting fb=false on the kernel command line?23:51
kirklandgeofft: oooh, will that do it?  /me tries23:51
cjwatsonkirkland: DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text23:52
cjwatsongeofft: that probably won't work quite right ...23:52
geofftoh, is there something newer that I missed?23:52
cjwatsonyou want to actually instruct the *installer* not to use a framebuffer, I think23:52
cjwatsonoh, sorry, fb=false is actually an installer option, I forgot that23:53
cjwatsonbut still, I'd suggest DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text anyway23:53
kirklandcjwatson: this is a kernel boot option?23:53
cjwatsonin low-bandwidth environments you probably want the lighter-weight frontend. It's actually as old as d-i :-)23:53
cjwatsonkirkland: yes23:53
directhexd-i has a non-text-based frontend?23:54
cjwatsonnewt != text23:54
cjwatsonI mean, as it happens, yes it does, but I think kirkland means how to turn off the full-screen thing23:55
cjwatsonkirkland: waiting for qemu-kvm to download23:55
kirklandcjwatson: heh, i'm waiting for the iso to download23:56
kirklandcjwatson: hmm, the bootloader itself goes graphical, which busts kvm's -curses option23:58
cjwatsonhold down shift at boot, if you can23:59
cjwatsonI think it's shift23:59
