[01:09] I have a question about packaging. [01:09] Why is the version of Evolution in Ubuntu shipped without support for "Send an e-mail" as an alarm action?

Does 'better dependency calculation' work for programs linked against gtk2 libraries? [09:41] which package provides the knotify stuff in KDE? [09:43] james_w: >dpkg -S /usr/bin/knotify4 [09:43] kdebase-runtime: /usr/bin/knotify4 [09:43] if that's what you're after [09:43] thanks [10:21] TheMuso, where is that PPA you mentioned this morning? I'm happy to install the latest pulseaudio and test [10:22] mdz: http://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive from TheMuso's mail to -platform [10:24] StevenK, thanks, can't get to my mail atm [10:44] yay for mdz getting his bag back [10:49] apparently I am one of the lucky ones === Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_ [10:56] mdz, well, a lost bag not being blown up by the bomb squad is an event [10:57] mterry: You are the first person who has had a pulseaudio upgrade problem of that nature, which makes me think that its probably something to do with your system. [10:57] I have installed these packages fresh several times over the last week or so, and no changes were made to the upgrade scripts, and I had no problems, and it seems others are not either. [10:57] TheMuso, fair enough.... looked like bad syntax of some dpkg call, which would surprise me if it was machine dependent, but if I'm the only one... [11:01] mterry: I'll still take a look though. [11:02] mterry: Actually, found the problem, thanks for the heads up. [11:03] TheMuso, sweet [11:09] * cjwatson finally fixes the stupid bug where console-setup doesn't work on boot [11:11] mterry: Give it an hour max, and new pulse packages should be available with the fix. [11:11] I've not long uploaded the fix. [11:11] TheMuso, awesome, thanks [11:47] cjwatson, I wonder if we shouldn't seed iw in all of the places where wireless-tools currently is [11:50] is there any particular reason why gtk+2.0 package in karmic does not contain libgtk2.0-0.symbols file? [11:53] slytherin, we didn't merge on debian since they added it [11:54] slytherin, it's probably useful for gtk but no fun to maintain because you have to build gtk once for nothing, get to break because .symbols is not updated, do the update, etc [11:54] Anyway, I am not sure how much the symbol file form Debian will be useful as it is old version. [11:54] off-topic: anyone know a good resource for setting up emacs for C++ dev? [11:55] slytherin, the idea is that you should update that file which each update [11:55] hmm [11:55] pitti: hal in karmic has debian/patches/04_nvidia_brightness.patch, but it's not in the series file? [11:55] I can understand why it is not easy task. [11:55] pitti: (I would like it to be in the series file) [11:56] slangasek, isn't hal deprecated anyway? [11:56] seb128: is something else doing backlight handling today? [11:57] isn't gnome-power-manager doing that using devkit-power? [11:57] I don't know [11:59] seb128: basically, I'm trying to bring closure to bug #277589, which continues to haunt me because people affected by it are making arbitrary changes to their fdi files in ways that fix it for them, break it for everyone else, and provide no guidance regarding a fix that can be integrated properly :/ [11:59] Launchpad bug 277589 in hal "sony brighness on a geforce series older than 8 (nvclock works fine)" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/277589 [12:01] * slangasek finds no instances of 'bright' or 'backlight' in the devicekit-power source, so I guess it's not doing it today? [12:05] slangasek, that's a question for pitti I guess, I didn't look at that closely [12:06] seb128: pull pitti's beard to make him pay attention to me, then ;) [12:06] slangasek, done [12:07] hey [12:08] slangasek: that sounds like a bug indeed, it's supposed to be there [12:08] slangasek: ah, I might have disabled it because we don't use it any more anyway [12:09] but that might have been a lie, g-p-m still talks to hal for brightness [12:09] so if it fixes it, let's re-add it [12:09] slangasek: beard> ouch :) [12:11] pitti: it doesn't fix it, I just noticed as I went to try to follow through on it that the patch wasn't applied [12:11] pitti: anyway, I need your brain to help me with the question in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hotkey-setup/+bug/277589/comments/51 in order to finally nail this, I think [12:11] Launchpad bug 277589 in hal "sony brighness on a geforce series older than 8 (nvclock works fine)" [Medium,In progress] [12:12] (or, well, if your brain is not available, I'll muddle through and come up with something that looks suitable to me) [12:14] slangasek: right, that would make sense; they need to point to the smartdimmer specific scripts to change the brightness [12:15] slangasek: the get/set scripts just call some CLI tool, so it doesn't need an addon? [12:17] pitti: uh... that sounds accurate [12:17] slangasek: an addon is something that runs all the time, like the process that polls CD-ROMs for media [12:18] but since I suppose we don't need to react to events from the backlight (just from input events from keys, which is already provided), it doesn't need an addon [12:24] cjwatson: I have just come up with a preliminary list of source packages that libpulse0 depends on that will need to be made bi-arch. I have a feeling that some of these are not actually depended on, so I will have to look at the pulse code to see what are actually needed, so that list may yet be trimmed. [12:24] Nevertheless, there is currently 11 packages on the list. So I certainly think I will likely need help to address all of these. [12:27] TheMuso: lovely :-/ [12:27] mdz: sounds sensible, though it's in universe right now ... this is the first I've heard of iw [12:29] cjwatson: My thoughts exactly. === You're now known as ubuntulog [12:45] james_w: bug #408342 [12:45] Launchpad bug 408342 in bzr "'bzr up' fails against a read-only remote, trying to create a write lock" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/408342 [12:46] jml: ^^ [14:46] is it ok not to use firewalls?

[15:01] slytherin: done [15:02] thanks === ryanakca_ is now known as ryanakca [15:46] cjwatson: it seems that there are a few packages that libpulse0 depends upon, but are not actually needed, however due to the way pulse is built, they are linked against libpulse0 anyway, even though no symbols are used. I am going to see if I can fix this somehow. [15:47] TheMuso: -Wl,--as-needed might work for some of them [15:48] this usually does a good first cut of cutting down stray dependencies [15:48] ok thanks [15:50] TheMuso: LDFLAGS+= -Wl,--as-needed === beuno_ is now known as beuno [15:57] For the record, this caused pulseaudio to FTBFS. [16:01] TheMuso, which means it's probably using libraries and not specifying -l for all the libs it's using [16:01] TheMuso, and you want to use the flag on client applications to cut the unneeded depends not on pulseaudio directly [16:06] seb128: I am trying to cut down on the unneeded dependencies of libpulse0, as it is linked/depends on libraries even though it doesn't use any of their symbols. [16:10] TheMuso, right, so you need to use --as-needed on applications who depends on libpulse now wrongly [16:11] that should cut the shlibs:depends to real depends [16:22] Why isn't --as-needed a default flag? does it not always work as expected? [16:22] ScottK: boost1.37 removed, asio appears to still depend/build-depend on it: any plans for fixing that? [16:23] slytherin, it breaks builds when you don't use -llibraries correctly [16:23] ah, some other packages as well, e.g., wesnoth (checkrdepends is still running, bah) [16:23] seb128: Didn't know that.

I downloaded karmic and it boots ubuntu?!? [17:44] Has anybody ever had to clean .la files during a package build, the .la files in question being generated by the package build itself? [17:45] TheMuso, "had" [17:45] ? [17:45] ie, how do you want to clean those and why? [17:45] we stopped installing those for random package and clean content for others in gnome [17:45] seb128: Clean them, as in clearing the dependency_libs variable, because its causing libraries to be uselessly linked against other libraries [17:46] TheMuso, if you use cdbs you can include clean-la.mk [17:46] TheMuso, that does what you want [17:47] TheMuso, otherwise you can copy the /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/clean-la.mk snippet [17:47] seb128: yes, during the package install. My issue is with .la files that are used during the package build itself, that are internal to the package, not external. [17:48] Ok, pulseaudio has several libraries that parts of itself need linking to. When these libraries are initially built, they create .la files that include dependencies which are then uselessly linked against other libraries. [17:48] TheMuso, you can probably patch the source package directly too [17:49] Yeah I think thats the best option. [17:51] ogra: done [17:52] cjwatson, merci : [17:52] :) [17:53] TheMuso, gtk only does clean the .la in the install target not during the build [17:53] ie similar to what cdbs is doing, not really useful for your issue [17:54] seb128: ok thanks, I'll see if I can patch the build system, perhaps ltmain.sh to work around the issue. [17:55] TheMuso, you can try asking Keybuk about that maybe, he's the libtool expert around [17:59] seb128: thats also a thought, thanks.
