doctormoOK03:21
doctormoI have created this crude attempt at a basic debian package directory http://divajutta.com/doctormo/awakenonlan-1.0-deb.tar.gz03:21
doctormoBut ti's having problems with man pages03:21
doctormoWhile it would be useful to have the man pages built at package time with pod2man, I've built them with the idea that they can just go in as is.03:22
whitedoctormo: wouldn't it be better to check the exit code of ethtool?03:36
whitedoctormo: the debian/rules file looks pretty empty :/03:36
doctormowhite: The exit code is always 0, damn thing03:37
doctormoI wouldn't know about debian/rules, I normally do python packages.03:37
whitedoctormo: hmm, that I'd probably consider a bug worth reporting (not that I have looked at what the whole package does and stuff ;) )03:37
whitethe init script is lacking a few options03:38
whitethe copyright file needs the copyright years or something, ftpmasters are always very picky ...03:38
whitenot sure why there is a provides line in the control file03:39
whitei guess if you are maintaining the package, then you could add yourself to the maintainer field in control, but i am not sure about ubuntu's policy here03:40
whitedoctormo: the postinst script should use invoke-rc.d rather than calling the init script directly03:40
whitebest to use dh_installinit to configure the code snippets for the maintainer scripts i'd say03:41
doctormowhite: The init script can't really have many more options, since it's not a daemon.03:42
whitedoctormo: i guess you are somehow depending on the dbus python module03:43
whitedoctormo: then have a look at a few other packages, the other targets could perform the same than others, like stop and then start or so03:43
doctormowhite: start-stop for restart makes no sense, I conceed I'm not a MOTU package master. But somethign about un-setting and then setting ethernet device attributes doesn't seem right.03:50
doctormoAlthough I wish the ethlist was perl based too, it's just python is so much easier with dbus03:51
whitedoctormo: that's alright, i am not a MOTU package master either, just throwing in some random comments ;)03:54
doctormowhite: Are you a debian guy or an ubuntu dude?03:56
doctormoI decided to post it to launchpad so I could work on it later lp:~doctormo/doctormo-random/awakenonlan04:04

loic-masac: ping18:00
asacloic-m: ?18:22
loic-masac: sory, I saw you did the last upload for miro, was that just because of the xulrunner transition or are you looking at the merge too?18:23
loic-ms/sory/sorry18:23
Laneyloic-m: you do it18:24
loic-mLaney: would like to, but I'll be afk for 2 weeks starting tomorrow18:25
Laneyso you just tried to nag? ;)18:25
loic-mLooking at the merge report just now, I'm not sure if I'll have time to finish18:25
loic-mLaney: no, somebody asked on ubuntu-motu ml :P18:26
loic-m(I don't use it, never understood what the point was)18:26
asacloic-m: #ubuntu-mozillateam usually deals with miro.18:28
loic-mAccording to grab-merge, the job should be trivial, just debian/control conflicts, and that's just python 2.6 and xulrunner 1.9.118:28
asaci guess we could find a merge reviewer there18:28
LaneyI've done miro merges in the past18:28
loic-moh, so it's better to leave it to them no?18:28
asaci dont remember exactly if we have a branch18:28
Laneyand raof before me18:28
Laneydidn't know it was mozillateam territory :O18:28
asacloic-m: no. if laney wants to do it go ahead18:29
asacloic-m: its not.18:29
asacits just that we did some porting in the past and also packaged trunk stuff etc.18:29
Laneyalright18:29
asacLaney: ^^18:29
Laneyi'll put it on the stack but really it's quite large18:29
asacLaney: but i am not sure if we had a branch at some point18:29
asacbut i guess its too late for that already ;)18:29
Laneyloic-m: It's not so bad, so if you have time to do it today ping me for a review18:29

JohnlesbergtionI am having an error with my apt: http://pastebin.ca/152311919:19
JohnlesbergtionIt is for ubuntu studio upgraded from Ubuntu interpid19:19
hyperairit means that there's another package manager running19:22
hyperairyou should ask this in #ubuntu19:22
hyperair#ubuntu-motu is a developer channel19:22
JohnlesbergtionI did19:22
hyperairand?19:23
Johnlesbergtionthey said come here19:23
Johnlesbergtionnvm19:23
JohnlesbergtionI got a backup19:23
Johnlesbergtion:)19:23
hyperair=\19:23
JohnlesbergtionI just don't have the ubuntu studio apt now19:23
Johnlesbergtion:(19:23
hyperairno, you just have to quit your other instance of the package manager19:23
Laneythey shouldn't have sent you here19:24
Laneyspank them19:24
JohnlesbergtionI would get banned19:24
JohnlesbergtionUbuntu staff there like to ban19:24
JohnlesbergtionI been banned for doing things like that19:24
Johnlesbergtion:(19:24
JohnlesbergtionI would have to say support for Ubuntu sucks19:25
jMylesLaney:  Totally my bad.  I just didn't want to mess him up.  I looked over here and saw that it wasn't busy and thought maybe you all could help.19:25
hyperairchannel staff don't ban unless they have a good reason19:25
hyperairif you got banned then it's usually completely your fault.19:25
Laneytry your loco channel for a less insane pace anyway19:26
JohnlesbergtionI know19:26
JohnlesbergtionI know I got banned and I probally deserved it19:26
Johnlesbergtionthat was awhile ago anyway19:26
JohnlesbergtionI won't hold it as all of Ubuntu staff's fault19:26
jMylesI knew that this was a devel channel, but it's a good vibe and I've gotten apt help here before.19:26
Johnlesbergtionanyway19:26
jMylesSo again, my bad.19:27
Johnlesbergtioncan soemone give me a sources.list for ubuntu studio19:27
Laney#ubuntustudio? ;)19:27

Johnlesbergtion:P19:28
Laneythat is the way it goes19:29
Johnlesbergtionok19:29
Johnlesbergtion:)19:29
ximionUbuntu-Studio sources.list should be the same as Ubuntu19:29

Laneyhi19:41
nelleryLaney: are you planning on merging miro?19:42

Laneyyou should talk to him19:42
nelleryLaney: alright19:42
nelleryThanks.19:42
loic-mI've got an error building miro atm19:42
norsettoconky19:42
nelleryloic-m: what's the error?19:43
loic-mpython2.6 is in Build-Depends, but the log shows it's trying to use python 2.5 and fails because it's not there19:43
loic-mhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/30085869/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-i386.miro_2.5.2-1ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz19:43
loic-m"/bin/sh: python2.5: not found"19:44
loic-mCompared to Debian, except for the xulrunner 1.9.1 dep, the only diff is  python2.5 (>= 2.5.2-6), >> python2.6,19:46
loic-mwhich is an Ubuntu modification19:46
nelleryloic-m: did you change pyversions too?19:47
loic-mno, because that wasn't changed in previous 1ubuntu219:47
loic-mbut maybe I have too19:47
nelleryloic-m: the last merge included that19:48
nellerywith the python2.5 (>= 2.5.2-6) > python2.6 change19:49
loic-mnellery: that's the debian/control I use. I don't see the diff with the ubuntu one, didn't Debian bump the version already? > http://paste.ubuntu.com/250457/19:51
lfaraoneHey, can someone assist me in debugging bug 409001? I don't think this is a problem in the package. as xcb_io.c isn't part of python-gasp.19:52
ubottuLaunchpad bug 409001 in python-gasp "begin_graphics crashes python shell" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/40900119:52

nellerybut what is your debian/pyversions?19:53
loic-mSorry, I didn't understand the question before19:55
loic-mnellery: you're right, error spotted! Thanks a lot19:58
nelleryloic-m: no problem19:58
loic-m2.5>2.6 now, should be ok. I shouldn't rely on grab-merge so much. I'll have a second look at it now19:59
nelleryloic-m: hm, I used grab-merge and it changed it for me20:00
loic-mmust be something else then. My Karmic is such a Crash'O Land atm...20:01

Laneyloic-m: don't mention the maintainer change21:13
Laney(i'll fix that)21:13
loic-mI don't know how to use the thing. I started it, and it seems to be fluid with the #### radeon drivers, so it's not as bad as I expected (still can't get a video to display right with any player :( )21:14
loic-mLaney: thanks21:14
nelleryLaney: runs and plays videos fine21:20
Laneycool21:20
loic-m(my video is still dl... :( )21:21
loic-mBTW, could someone please review GMAMEUI at http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/gmameui ?21:24
loic-mIt's about the best MAME front-end I could find that's also actively developped upstream, and we don't have anything like that in the repos21:24
loic-mAt the moment, SDLMAME users have to run it from the command line, and that must be painful21:26
RainCTloic-m: Why is the MAME stuff in Recommends?21:29
loic-mRainCT: because it can run without MAME21:29
RainCT("Contact" in debian/copyright should be "Maintainer")21:30
loic-mRainCT: Right. I changed that from Maintainer to Contact when it did the same on the DEP5 page, but now I'm checking it's Maintainer21:31
RainCT(also configure, mkinstalldirs, install-sh, actocal.m4, etc. don't need to be listed, but I guess that doesn't do any harm either :))21:31
loic-mRainCT: yes I asked on Debian, and even though it's not "mandatory" a developer told me it's still good to have21:32
RainCTloic-m: looking at debian/rules it doesn't look like the package will build twice in a row (because of the "mv debian/gmameui.xpm" and the like. I'd suggest using dh_install for that, or at least install or cp)21:33
loic-mRainCT: right, I'll use cp, I already use that for the .desktop file21:37
RainCTloic-m: the menu entry is missing a subcategory21:44
loic-mRainCT: yes, there's no subcategory that fits21:45
loic-m(also asked on Debian Games Team)21:45
loic-msince it's a front-end that can play many different categories of games21:45
loic-mand there's no ArcadeGame subcategory21:46
RainCTI see. There's Applications/Emulators but I guess that isn't as fitting as Games..21:46
RainCTloic-m: ok, looks good to me other than what I've already mentioned21:47
loic-mYes, that's also my opinion, and other game-related emulators don't use that section either21:47
loic-mRainCT: I'll upload in a minute, pbuilding at the moment ;)21:48
loic-mI also added a Disclaimer, that way the package is ready for Debian too ;)21:48
RainCTDisclaimer?21:49
loic-mBecause it's in contrib, and I forgot the disclaimer in debian/copyright21:50
loic-mWhat do you think of "This package is not part of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because it recommends MAME, SDLMAME or XMAME, whose license prohibits commercial use."21:50
RainCTAh right.21:52
RainCTs/license/licenses/21:52
RainCTs/prohibits/prohibit. looks good other than that21:52
loic-mThanks a lot!21:53
loic-mHowever it's a single license (they all use the same), so should it be license_s_ ?21:54
RainCTloic-m: ah, it's fine then21:54
loic-mOk, I wasn't sure21:55
RainCTNo problem, it was getting about time that I do some Ubuntu stuff :P21:55

chrisccoulsoni'm not too sure what is going on :-/22:29
chrisccoulsonthe point which fails is "cp: cannot stat `doc/interpreter/octave-a4.pdf': No such file or directory", but that is the effect of an earlier problem in the build22:29
RainCTchrisccoulson: so it doesn't find the file and it aborts22:43
chrisccoulsonRainCT - yes. the file is missing due to this earlier error:22:43
chrisccoulson"./plot.texi:69:  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!"22:43
chrisccoulsonbut i can't figure out what happens there22:43
RainCTchrisccoulson: ./plot.texi:69: pdfTeX error (ext1): invalid image dimensions.22:44
chrisccoulsoni'm stuck at that bit though:) i had a look at the file, but i'm not sure what i'm looking for on that line22:45
