fabrice_spGood morning! A small question: is it still possible to request a sync for a main package? Or main is frozen?06:15
StevenKfabrice_sp: Sure it is06:17
StevenKDebian Import Freeze just means we aren't doing it automatically06:18
fabrice_spStevenK, so FeatureFreeze is when main is also frozen?06:18
fabrice_spI thought main was frozen before universe...06:19
=== sn9_ is now known as sn9
StevenKfabrice_sp: We aren't past Feature Freeze yet?06:32
fabrice_spStevenK, according to the Release Schedule (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule), Feature Freeze is suppose to happen on the 27th of August. Or there is something I understand wrongly?06:34
StevenKfabrice_sp: And you were asking about syncing a package in main now?06:34
* StevenK is evidently missing something06:34
fabrice_spStevenK, I thought that Feature Freeze was only for Universe and that main was frozen before (at DIF time)06:36
StevenKfabrice_sp: No, that isn't right06:37
fabrice_spthat's why I was asking if it still possible to ask for a sync in main06:37

mr_spot_slytherin, have you got more advice on my package in revu?09:38
slytherinmr_spot_: I was wondering how it is different than the official mixer applet. I didn't see any screenshots on home page.09:39
mr_spot_ocau.com/pix/hobk509:41

mr_spot_slytherin, you mean the one named "Volume Control" in the add to panel dialog?09:43
mr_spot_slytherin, or is there another gnome volume applet that i don't know about?09:44
slytherinmr_spot_: in jaunty - gnome-volume-control-pulse09:45
slytherinThat is the package name09:45
mr_spot_slytherin, just to confirm, the one that puts a speaker icon in the notification area? that one simply shows me a single volume slider09:47
slytherinmr_spot_: Yes, you are talking about the one installed by default. The package I mentioned is in universe, not installed by default. That package contains another volume control applet which uses pulseaudio. Try it yourself and you will know.09:48
slytherinmr_spot_: And you have to right click on it and then 'Open Volume COntrol'.09:49
Laneyslytherin: I gave up on hardy09:51
Laneyi was going to -backports it but didn't get round to it yet09:52
mr_spot_slytherin, http://paste.ubuntu.com/216773/ is what i just had a look at, the gnome-volume-control-applet binary in the package is the one i ran that gave me the notification icon.09:53
slytherinLaney: Putting my users hat, In my opinion the fix should get backported to hardy.09:54
slytherinmr_spot_: did you logout and login after you installed the package? :-)09:54
mr_spot_it was already installed09:54
Laneyslytherin: Yes, it should. But I couldn't get it to work09:55
Laneythey completely rewrote the authentication method09:55
mr_spot_slytherin, mtime on the .deb in my apt archive dir is jul 1, and i have logged in and out many times since then :)09:56
mr_spot_slytherin, can you show me a screenshot of what you think i should be seeing?09:57
slytherinmr_spot_: I don't have access to a jaunty system right now. :-(10:00
mr_spot_slytherin, well the main point is that with my applet, adjusting application volume, moving applications to different devices, etc can all be done with a single click on the applet, without launching a separate mixer10:02
mr_spot_slytherin, it was a result of getting annoyed by having to launch pavucontrol just for a simple adjustment so frequently10:02
mr_spot_slytherin, it also has recording similarly accessible from a single click on the panel10:03
slytherinmr_spot_: I can understand. But as I said, it does not offer any advantage over the official applet which can also use pulseaudio to do all the things you mentioned.10:03

pochudholbach: it's ok for me, I didn't have to pay for the extra bandwith :)12:24
pochuit's just that I seem to hit a thunderbird bug or something that makes loading big emails take a lot of time12:24
pochuasac: ^ have you heard about such a problem with tb?12:24

pochuasac: no regression, it's happening for a really long time :) I'll try with TB3, thanks12:31
asacpochu: let me know. if its still a problem with tb3 we should file a bug (at least i can make upstream look at tb3 bugs)12:34
pochucool12:35
pochuasac: btw I don't know if I'll do the liferea merge... don't have a karmic system around and am somewhat busy these days12:35

hhbis there an easy way to make a custom version of an ubuntu package?12:53
hhbi don't have any packaging background, but i'd like to set up my own ppa with a nautilus binary based on my own branch12:54

jdstrandquadrispro: I'm not arguing that it doesn't build. I'm saying that regardless of what dh does, it isn't policy compliant.13:44
DktrKranzjdstrand: dh7 runs binary-* itself in its sequences, so it should be fine even if build-{binary,arch}: is not mentioned13:48
maxbquadrispro: I was wondering about that.... should we still aim to use a .PHONY in dh7 packages for strict correctness?13:50
jdstrandI would argue yes, until policy is updated with an exception13:50
jdstrandotherwise it causes confusion, like this13:51
quadrispromaxb: IMHO we don't, newer lintian doesn't give any warning13:51
maxbI guess it's a sufficiently tiny corner case that it's really not worth the clutter13:51
jdstrandlintian is just a tool to help identify violations of policy and other errors13:52
jdstrandbut it is not policy13:52
DktrKranzit's not about policy, it's about lintian unability to parse dh7 internals. dh7 always executes binary-*, unless you manually override it13:53
quadrisprojdstrand: I've found this http://www.debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/3113:53
DktrKranze.g. by declaring no-op binary-*: target13:54
jdstrandquadrispro: I'm familiar with dh7 and 'dh $@'13:54
jdstrandI also understand that it does build13:55
jdstrandand lintian can be made to detect dh7 type stuff. that is fine13:55
jdstrandhowever, to me, it is about policy, because policy atm clearly states it is required13:55
jdstrandif an exception clause can be made to policy stating that it isn't required (and it seems it should indeed do just this), then it would be ok, IMHO13:57
ScottKjdstrand: It's required, but not necessarily explicitly.  Lots of CDBS packages don't mention it in rules.  It's not clear to me this is different?13:57
jdstrandI don't think it is different. perhaps they are wrong too?13:58
jdstrand*shrug*13:58
ScottKMy view has been they need to exist and be called, not that they must exist in a file called debian/rules.13:59
ScottKDunno.13:59
jdstrandwell, they don't need to be called-- eg, binary-arch for _all packages13:59
DktrKranzjdstrand: it's not explicitly declared in rules, but dh expand "%:" to call it at runtime, that way policy is respected.13:59
DktrKranzand, if there are cases where one of binary-{arch,indep} must not be invoked, they can be bypassed easily14:00
jdstrandmy point is this: policy says one thing, dh is doing something else via magic. if I say "ok, fine, do it" it will only come up again some time in the future and this same conversation will come up. A bug should be made against policy to allow this14:02
* DktrKranz believes something has been filed already14:02
jdstrandthat said, I am not the judge and jury of this issue. While I feel strongly it needs a .PHONY line, another AA may not14:03
jdstrandbut just shoving this through will not help anyone done the line14:04
jdstrands/done/down/14:04
quadrisproehm... what I have to do with h264enc? can i re-upload it to the NEW queue without any change? or.. what??14:05
jdstrandhow is adding a .PHONY line wrong?14:05
jdstrandit is policy compliant, clear, and will build14:06
jdstrandI would happily process it with that line14:06
geserjdstrand: Hi, re the python-repoze.who-plugins rejection: debian/copyright has a stanza for repoze.who.plugins.ldap-1.0 being licenced as GPL-3+. And I assume the URL for the licence text of the other modules at the beginning of the other modules isn't sufficient, right?14:07
jdstrandgeser: the license text at the beginning of (all of?) the other modules states LICENSE is included in the source. there is no LICENSE file14:08
jdstrand(other than the aforementioned GPL3 one)14:08
geserjdstrand: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/python-repoze.who-plugins/current/copyright The second paragraph has an url to http://www.repoze.org/LICENSE.txt which is later referenced as "BSD-repoze"14:09

geserjdstrand: it's already in Debian experimental.14:15
ScottKgeser: It does have to include a full copy of the license in the tarball.14:16
jdstrandgeser: yeah, but does experimental go through the same review as the main archive? (I don't know)14:16
jdstrandregardless, you need the license14:16
geserjdstrand: what is missing for the ldap module? it looks correctly mentioned in the copyright file to me14:16
ScottKIn theory it does, in practice it seems not always.14:16

quadrisprodebian/rules -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/216934/14:32
quadrisproin this way, I can't use DH714:32
huatsiulian: ping14:35
huatsare you around ?14:35
sebnerquadrispro: you only need get-orig-source in the .PHONY line14:36
jdstrandbinary-arch should be there14:37
jdstrandin .PHONY14:37
sebnerjdstrand: dunno, for cli not ^^14:38
jdstrandit is a shell script14:38
jdstrandmeh14:38
jdstrandthis is what I'm saying-- policy says one thing, debhelper is doing magical other things14:39
jdstrandquadrispro: '.PHONY: binary-indep' works. I fully realize that build, binary-arch, binary and install are not present, and according to policy should be. .PHONY seems to disable debhelper's special magic for any targets listed in .PHONY. as such, dh7 cannot be done in a policy-compliant was, afaict. this is unfortunate and clearly a bug in debhelper, debian-policy or both14:52
jdstrandquadrispro: I was not aware of this situation, which was frankly my point-- we (you, me, archive admins in Debian and Ubuntu) shouldn't have to know that there is an undocumented exception for debhelper14:54
james_wjdstrand: I think that it could just be in the reading of policy14:54
jdstrandjames_w: possibly14:55
james_w"required" probably means "known to make if you execute the file"14:55
mr_spot_can i get someone to review pulseaudio-mixer-applet again? i also have a question about copyright in a comment on my new upload. http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/pulseaudio-mixer-applet14:55
james_wwhich they definitely are14:55
james_wand "%:" means that every target will be present14:56
jdstrandjames_w: yes, pragmatically speaking14:56
james_wit's silly that lintian complains if that is the case14:56
jdstrandjames_w: it's silly we must infer 'known to make if you execute the file' from policy that simply says 'must' and 'required'14:57
james_wit's certainly not complained about cdbs packages, so it should probably be extended to not complain about dh 714:57
james_wpossibly14:57
james_wit would be better to be explicit14:57
jdstrandjames_w: based on feedback here, newer lintian doesn't complain14:57
james_woh, good14:57
james_wwe should probably get lintian updated on that machine, it's bit me before14:58
jdstrandjames_w: while perhaps I am, I find it hard to believe I am the only one who is not aware of the latest debhelper features (or any other debian/rules symantics) that are not policy compliant on the surface14:59
james_wI'm sure you are not14:59
quadrisproehm... I've re-uploaded h264enc with some changes, but they are'nt correct, please reject it15:00
quadrisproaren't *15:00
jdstrandwhile I surely will remember this situation personally, as I'm sure quadrispro will also, debian policy is supposed to help prevent this frustration15:00
jdstrandquadrispro: rejected15:01
jdstrandI suppose since I'm the only one fired-up about it, I'll file a bug15:01
pochuasac: \o/15:01
quadrisprothanks jdstrand, can i re-upload it with DH7 support or... what? :)15:02
jdstrandquadrispro: yes15:02
jdstrandjust reupload15:02
* jdstrand is fairly miffed at the time wasted on this15:02
asacpochu: can you do the ifupdown merge for me now ;)? jk15:04
quadrisprojdstrand: done, thanks for your work :)15:04
jdstrandquadrispro: sorry for putting you through this15:05
pochuasac: lol15:05
jdstrandI'm determined to not have this happen to someone in the future15:05
quadrisprojdstrand: no prob, it was an interesting discussion15:06
pochuasac: I'll look at integrating the intltool-update in Debian, and the systray patch upstream though :)15:06

Laneythe link goes to 12316:28
james_wRainCT: I'm reviewing zeitgeist, it's not all LGPL, but I'm guessing you know this, as debian/copyright also points to common-licences/GPL-316:29
\shLaney: 122 is the right one..16:29
Laneyyeah16:29
Laneyjust telling you, as 123 is 40416:29
Laney;)16:29
james_wRainCT: but I don't think the situation is expressed clearly there, which makes me think I will reject16:29
james_wRainCT: what do you think?16:30
\shLaney: the link on 123 is 404...right...but that's one problem of drupal...need to fix it soon16:30
Laneyalrighty16:30
RainCTHey james_w16:35
james_whi RainCT, how you doing?16:35
RainCTjames_w: I'm fine, thanks. I mentioned GPL-3 in debian/copyright because the LGPL build upon the GPL.16:36
RainCT*builds16:36
james_wah16:36
james_wI'll reject it then, with a clearer statement on what I feel is missing16:36
james_wsorry to disturb you16:36
RainCTUhm, and what's missing?16:37
james_wI'm not sure it's missing, as much as incorrect headers, but I can't make that call16:41
james_wmail sent now16:41
RainCTjames_w: Oh right, the headers are incorrect.16:42
james_wgood :-)16:42
cyberixaeWhat is the plan for hurd package?16:46
cyberixaeI suppose it's not installable alongsided Linux, and Ubuntu is probably not going to switch kernel in near future, so what's the catch?16:47
ScottKWhat makes you think there is any plan at all?16:47
cyberixaeThe package being included in Universe16:48
cyberixaeIs its inclusion just a mere theoretical effort?16:48
gaspacyberixae: which package??16:48
ScottKIt was probably autosync'ed from Debian.16:48
cyberixaehttp://packages.ubuntu.com/source/karmic/hurd16:48
cyberixaeI understood that autosynced packages are still manually selected.16:49
ScottKNo16:49
RainCTjames_w: OK, I've fixed debian/copyright and updated the files upstream. Given that the release hasn't been announced yet we'll probably issue a new tarball including some new stuff16:49
ScottKRainCT: Please don't reuse the same version number.16:50
james_wRainCT: cool, feel free to ping me for fast-tracking through NEW16:50
james_wassuming you addressed all my issues :-)16:50
RainCTjames_w: Great, thanks :)16:50
gesercyberixae: at the beginning of every development cycle, every package which is not blacklisted or has any Ubuntu changes will get imported automatically from Debian unstable16:50
cyberixaeoh16:50
RainCTScottK: For any particular reason? I don't know of any distro including it yet16:50
cyberixaeSo I should really ask Debian what their plan is.16:51
ScottKRainCT: It's just bad practice.  Has anyone downloaded it?16:51
macoDebian Hurd has existed for a while16:51
cyberixaeI know they've provided a Hurd distro for some time16:51
RainCTScottK: LP shows 10 downloads.16:51
macothere's also Debian BSD, isn't there?16:51
cyberixaeBut they didn't use the have hurd kernel in their Linux repos16:51
ScottKRainCT: So I think that's enough reason.16:51
macoenough reason to what?16:54
Laneyto bump the version number16:55
ScottKReissuing tarballs with the same version number is just really wrong.16:55

fabrice_spHi. Do somebody know why the sponsored sync are using my gmail account (for example this one: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/karmic-changes/2009-July/004008.html), but all the other sponsored upload are changed-by my ubuntu email? Can I do something with my kaunchpad account to fix that and use only my ubuntu.com address?18:50
maxbfabrice_sp: I'd take a guess that it's because your gmail address seems to be the primary one on your launchpad account18:56
maxbOr at least I'm assuming the fact that it's the first listed on https://launchpad.net/~fabricesp means it's primary18:56
