quidnuncIs emacs23 being packaged for Karmic and Jaunty?01:53
RAOFIt'd only get into Janty via backports; I know that there's work in Debian to package it, so we'll probably just pull that down.01:57
micahgIt's in debian unstable01:57
quidnuncRAOF: So Karmic is waiting on Debian?01:57

stochasticI'm packaging a program and a few of the files included in the source tarball have this copyright notice: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/245629/ is it still eligible for inclusion in Universe?  How do I summarize this for the debian/copyright file (or do I paste the whole notice there)?08:45
slytherinstochastic: 'without fee' looks like non-free me. I am not sure if it will be allowed in archives.08:53
* stochastic needs to do more research on this, because the feature that these files implement are used by many other programs in the archives...08:54
directhexslytherin is correct09:00
directhex"without fee" is non-free. which sounds ass-backwards really09:00
stochasticI'll talk to upstream about it09:00
slytherinDoes anyone know if we are taking advantage of the improved dpkg-shlibdeps for programs linking against gtk libraries?09:04
directhexslytherin, improved how?09:15
slytherindirecthex: I read something related to symbols file which is used by dpkg-shlibdeps to check which symbols are actually being used by the program and set the dependencies (shlib:Depends) accordingly.09:16
directhexslytherin, as long as ld's using --as-needed09:17
directhex(it amazes me that --as-needed isn't the default)09:17
slytherinAnd how do I know if ld is using as-needed or not?09:17
slytherindirecthex: what is the correct way to specify ld flag --as-needed?10:36
directhexdunno. probably in LDFLAGS somehow. i do mono packaging, remember? our linker doesn't include useless linkage10:43
=== Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_
pochuslytherin: LDFLAGS += -Wl,--as-needed11:21
slytherinpochu: What is -Wl in this case?11:22
pochuslytherin: it tells the compiler to pass that flag to the linker11:23
slytherinpochu: Ok. Let me try.11:23
renderguyHi there.11:23
pochu       -Wl,option11:23
pochu           Pass option as an option to the linker.  If option contains commas, it is split into multiple options at the commas.11:23
pochufrom gcc(1)11:23
slytherinrenderguy: hi11:24
renderguyI'll apologies in advance, as I'm not sure where best to request help, but I was hoping to gauge in interest of any official package maintainers to help bring our package up-to-date? - http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/aqsis11:26
renderguyNo-one on our team is qualified to handle this task so we're hoping to be able to work with packagers to help keep things current.11:29
directhexrenderguy, try poking ender in debianland - he's the original maintainer11:29
directhexand a fixed package in debian helps every dist, not just ubuntu11:29
renderguydirecthex: I've tried the previous maintainers, they seem to have vanished.  :-(11:30
renderguyWe do have someone looking into this at the moment, but he is also new and not an official package maintainer... what we lack is the 'Experience'.11:31
renderguyUsers are also rushing us as our project is also used by other apps, and we're releasing a new version shortly (few weeks).11:33
renderguyIf anyone would be interested in providing a little time I'm sure we can get things rolling again.11:34
slytherindirecthex: pochu: --as-needed worked, but it doesn't solve my original problem. The package has dependency libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.17.5), whereas only 2.12 is needed.11:38
directhexoh. oh, interesting11:39
renderguyI have experience of our current RPM (Fedora) package, though not the repo process, so I'm sure with an experienced Debian/Ubuntu packager on-board we could get something running pretty quickly.11:40
renderguy</salesman>  ;-)11:41
pochuslytherin: that's likely because of the shlibs11:43
pochusee /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgtk2.0-0.shlibs11:43
slytherinpochu: Right, but from what I had heard the dpkg-shlibdeps is now smart enough to check which symbols are actually used and adjust the dependencies accordingly.11:45
renderguyAre there logs for this channel (online)?11:48
slytherinrenderguy: irclogs.ubuntu.com11:48
StevenKrenderguy: Yes, irclogs.ubuntu.com11:48
slytherinpochu: here is the reason, the gtk source package in karmic does not contain debian/libgtk2.0-0.symbols file. Where as the version in Debian does. So the same package built in Debian has only necessary dependencies (gtk2 >= 2.12 in this case).11:50

fabrice_spHi. I've been requested to add a build log to a sync request. Is it a new mandatory file to attach to a sync request?14:24
fabrice_spit's for bug #40650514:24

StevenKI didn't think so ...14:25
fabrice_spSo did I...14:26
fabrice_spAnyway: as I always build the package before requesting a sync, the log should be somewhere14:26
gesersome sponsors like to see it to have a proof that you test-build it14:26
slytherinI am curious. The guy who asked it could have checked himself if the package build fine.14:26
fabrice_spok. I'll attach it from now on14:27
fabrice_spI can understand because this is a looooonnnnngggg building package14:27
fabrice_sp(almost 2 hours in my case)14:27
fabrice_sp(and most packages builds in less than 20 minutes)14:28
\shslytherin: I thought so too...sponsor needs to check for him/herself when she/he is not sure, but that's only me14:28
fabrice_spI was just checking if it was a new approach, not blaming anybody :-)14:29
slytherinRight. I always check if the package builds fine before confirming a sync. Call me paranoid but I usually do not trust someone else's build log.14:29
geserI usually check myself too, but for long-building packages I sometimes take the word from the contributor that it builds (if it's a known contributor)14:30

dkg0due to the test suite running under /tmp16:05
dkg00.26 contains a fix for that16:05

dkg0would it be better as a new bug?16:08
loic-mdkg0: I don't have a clue, but personnaly when an upgrade/sync request takes a while, and there's a new version, I just update the bug description, especially if a prospective uploader has already started looking into the bug16:10
dkg0loic-m: my concern is that it was marked "fixed" two hours ago by a sync of an old version16:10
dkg0i *did* update the bug description, but that was a few days ago16:11
slytherindkg0: No. For the sake of cleanliness on launchpad. You already modified a sync request for old version. That is why I believe the archive admin got confused.16:11
loic-mdkg0: news bugs then maybe. If you use requestsync, it's simple16:11
dkg0i'll use requestsync going forward for sure, i'm just trying to figure out the right way to handle this particular case, where the ticket is effectively tracking this FTBFS issue about the test suite.16:13
loic-mdkg0: won't 0.26 process be far more straightforward though, with no building problems? Or is there a need to keep some information from the bug report you linked to?16:19
