[03:21] <doctormo> OK
[03:21] <doctormo> I have created this crude attempt at a basic debian package directory http://divajutta.com/doctormo/awakenonlan-1.0-deb.tar.gz
[03:21] <doctormo> But ti's having problems with man pages
[03:22] <doctormo> While 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.
[03:36] <white> doctormo: wouldn't it be better to check the exit code of ethtool?
[03:36] <white> doctormo: the debian/rules file looks pretty empty :/
[03:37] <doctormo> white: The exit code is always 0, damn thing
[03:37] <doctormo> I wouldn't know about debian/rules, I normally do python packages.
[03:37] <white> doctormo: hmm, that I'd probably consider a bug worth reporting (not that I have looked at what the whole package does and stuff ;) )
[03:38] <white> the init script is lacking a few options
[03:38] <white> the copyright file needs the copyright years or something, ftpmasters are always very picky ...
[03:39] <white> not sure why there is a provides line in the control file
[03:40] <white> i 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 here
[03:40] <white> doctormo: the postinst script should use invoke-rc.d rather than calling the init script directly
[03:41] <white> best to use dh_installinit to configure the code snippets for the maintainer scripts i'd say
[03:42] <doctormo> white: The init script can't really have many more options, since it's not a daemon.
[03:43] <white> doctormo: i guess you are somehow depending on the dbus python module
[03:43] <white> doctormo: then have a look at a few other packages, the other targets could perform the same than others, like stop and then start or so
[03:50] <doctormo> white: 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.
[03:51] <doctormo> Although I wish the ethlist was perl based too, it's just python is so much easier with dbus
[03:54] <white> doctormo: that's alright, i am not a MOTU package master either, just throwing in some random comments ;)
[03:56] <doctormo> white: Are you a debian guy or an ubuntu dude?
[04:04] <doctormo> I decided to post it to launchpad so I could work on it later lp:~doctormo/doctormo-random/awakenonlan
[06:01] <micahg> ping  sladen
[07:19] <artfwo> hello! could anybody with a little spare time re-review a package http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/scantailor - an interactive scanned book processor (c++/qt/cmake/cdbs)?
[10:34] <sladen> micahg: pong
[10:34] <sladen> micahg: (but rather than pinging, it would be more useful to ask a question ;-)
[10:36] <micahg> ah, hi sladen
[10:36] <micahg> can you join me in #ubuntu-mozillateam
[13:47] <TheMuso> c
[18:00] <loic-m> asac: ping
[18:22] <asac> loic-m: ?
[18:23] <loic-m> asac: 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-m> s/sory/sorry
[18:24] <Laney> loic-m: you do it
[18:25] <loic-m> Laney: would like to, but I'll be afk for 2 weeks starting tomorrow
[18:25] <Laney> so you just tried to nag? ;)
[18:25] <loic-m> Looking at the merge report just now, I'm not sure if I'll have time to finish
[18:26] <loic-m> Laney: no, somebody asked on ubuntu-motu ml :P
[18:26] <loic-m> (I don't use it, never understood what the point was)
[18:28] <asac> loic-m: #ubuntu-mozillateam usually deals with miro.
[18:28] <loic-m> According to grab-merge, the job should be trivial, just debian/control conflicts, and that's just python 2.6 and xulrunner 1.9.1
[18:28] <asac> i guess we could find a merge reviewer there
[18:28] <Laney> I've done miro merges in the past
[18:28] <loic-m> oh, so it's better to leave it to them no?
[18:28] <asac> i dont remember exactly if we have a branch
[18:28] <Laney> and raof before me
[18:28] <Laney> didn't know it was mozillateam territory :O
[18:29] <asac> loic-m: no. if laney wants to do it go ahead
[18:29] <asac> loic-m: its not.
[18:29] <asac> its just that we did some porting in the past and also packaged trunk stuff etc.
[18:29] <Laney> alright
[18:29] <asac> Laney: ^^
[18:29] <Laney> i'll put it on the stack but really it's quite large
[18:29] <asac> Laney: but i am not sure if we had a branch at some point
[18:29] <asac> but i guess its too late for that already ;)
[18:29] <Laney> loic-m: It's not so bad, so if you have time to do it today ping me for a review
[18:30] <loic-m> ok, thanks
[19:18] <Johnlesbergtion> hello
[19:18] <hyperair> hi
[19:19] <Johnlesbergtion> I am having an error with my apt: http://pastebin.ca/1523119
[19:19] <Johnlesbergtion> It is for ubuntu studio upgraded from Ubuntu interpid
[19:22] <hyperair> it means that there's another package manager running
[19:22] <hyperair> you should ask this in #ubuntu
[19:22] <hyperair> #ubuntu-motu is a developer channel
[19:22] <Johnlesbergtion> I did
[19:23] <hyperair> and?
[19:23] <Johnlesbergtion> they said come here
[19:23] <Johnlesbergtion> nvm
[19:23] <Johnlesbergtion> I got a backup
[19:23] <Johnlesbergtion> :)
[19:23] <hyperair> =\
[19:23] <Johnlesbergtion> I just don't have the ubuntu studio apt now
[19:23] <Johnlesbergtion> :(
[19:23] <hyperair> no, you just have to quit your other instance of the package manager
[19:24] <Laney> they shouldn't have sent you here
[19:24] <Laney> spank them
[19:24] <Johnlesbergtion> I would get banned
[19:24] <Johnlesbergtion> Ubuntu staff there like to ban
[19:24] <Johnlesbergtion> I been banned for doing things like that
[19:24] <Johnlesbergtion> :(
[19:25] <Johnlesbergtion> I would have to say support for Ubuntu sucks
[19:25] <jMyles> Laney:  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] <hyperair> channel staff don't ban unless they have a good reason
[19:25] <hyperair> if you got banned then it's usually completely your fault.
[19:26] <Laney> try your loco channel for a less insane pace anyway
[19:26] <Johnlesbergtion> I know
[19:26] <Johnlesbergtion> I know I got banned and I probally deserved it
[19:26] <Johnlesbergtion> that was awhile ago anyway
[19:26] <Johnlesbergtion> I won't hold it as all of Ubuntu staff's fault
[19:26] <jMyles> I knew that this was a devel channel, but it's a good vibe and I've gotten apt help here before.
[19:26] <Johnlesbergtion> anyway
[19:27] <jMyles> So again, my bad.
[19:27] <Johnlesbergtion> can soemone give me a sources.list for ubuntu studio
[19:27] <Laney> #ubuntustudio? ;)
[19:28] <Johnlesbergtion> I tried there
[19:28] <Johnlesbergtion> they were idle
[19:28] <Johnlesbergtion> :P
[19:29] <Laney> that is the way it goes
[19:29] <Johnlesbergtion> ok
[19:29] <Johnlesbergtion> :)
[19:29] <ximion> Ubuntu-Studio sources.list should be the same as Ubuntu
[19:29] <ximion> try your local support channel
[19:30] <Johnlesbergtion> oh ok
[19:30] <Johnlesbergtion> makes sense then
[19:30] <Johnlesbergtion> :)
[19:30] <Johnlesbergtion> thank you for all your help
[19:30] <ximion> http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/sources.list => Standard sources.list (without comments)
[19:30] <Johnlesbergtion> thanks
[19:30] <Johnlesbergtion> :)
[19:30] <ximion> But I don't think this is useful.
[19:30] <Johnlesbergtion> ok
[19:30] <Johnlesbergtion> thanks for the help
[19:30] <Johnlesbergtion> I got it all working now
[19:30] <Johnlesbergtion> :)
[19:32] <ximion> strange guy...
[19:32] <ximion> :-)
[19:41] <nellery> Laney: ping
[19:41] <Laney> hi
[19:42] <nellery> Laney: are you planning on merging miro?
[19:42] <Laney> nellery: not me, but loic-m might be
[19:42] <Laney> you should talk to him
[19:42] <nellery> Laney: alright
[19:42] <nellery> Thanks.
[19:42] <loic-m> I've got an error building miro atm
[19:42] <norsetto> conky
[19:43] <nellery> loic-m: what's the error?
[19:43] <loic-m> python2.6 is in Build-Depends, but the log shows it's trying to use python 2.5 and fails because it's not there
[19:43] <loic-m> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30085869/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-i386.miro_2.5.2-1ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
[19:44] <loic-m> "/bin/sh: python2.5: not found"
[19:46] <loic-m> Compared 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-m> which is an Ubuntu modification
[19:47] <nellery> loic-m: did you change pyversions too?
[19:47] <loic-m> no, because that wasn't changed in previous 1ubuntu2
[19:47] <loic-m> but maybe I have too
[19:48] <nellery> loic-m: the last merge included that
[19:49] <nellery> with the python2.5 (>= 2.5.2-6) > python2.6 change
[19:51] <loic-m> nellery: 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/
[19:52] <lfaraone> Hey, 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.
[19:53] <nellery> loic-m: that looks fine
[19:53] <nellery> but what is your debian/pyversions?
[19:55] <loic-m> Sorry, I didn't understand the question before
[19:58] <loic-m> nellery: you're right, error spotted! Thanks a lot
[19:58] <nellery> loic-m: no problem
[19:59] <loic-m> 2.5>2.6 now, should be ok. I shouldn't rely on grab-merge so much. I'll have a second look at it now
[20:00] <nellery> loic-m: hm, I used grab-merge and it changed it for me
[20:01] <loic-m> must be something else then. My Karmic is such a Crash'O Land atm...
[21:11] <loic-m> Laney, miro merge should be ready for a review at bug #411110 - thanks nellery for the help
[21:12] <Laney> loic-m: done much testing?
[21:13] <nellery> I'll play with it
[21:13] <Laney> loic-m: don't mention the maintainer change
[21:13] <Laney> (i'll fix that)
[21:14] <loic-m> I 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-m> Laney: thanks
[21:20] <nellery> Laney: runs and plays videos fine
[21:20] <Laney> cool
[21:21] <loic-m> (my video is still dl... :( )
[21:24] <loic-m> BTW, could someone please review GMAMEUI at http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/gmameui ?
[21:24] <loic-m> It'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 repos
[21:26] <loic-m> At the moment, SDLMAME users have to run it from the command line, and that must be painful
[21:29] <RainCT> loic-m: Why is the MAME stuff in Recommends?
[21:29] <loic-m> RainCT: because it can run without MAME
[21:30] <RainCT> ("Contact" in debian/copyright should be "Maintainer")
[21:31] <loic-m> RainCT: Right. I changed that from Maintainer to Contact when it did the same on the DEP5 page, but now I'm checking it's Maintainer
[21:31] <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 :))
[21:32] <loic-m> RainCT: yes I asked on Debian, and even though it's not "mandatory" a developer told me it's still good to have
[21:33] <RainCT> loic-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)
[21:37] <loic-m> RainCT: right, I'll use cp, I already use that for the .desktop file
[21:44] <RainCT> loic-m: the menu entry is missing a subcategory
[21:45] <loic-m> RainCT: yes, there's no subcategory that fits
[21:45] <loic-m> (also asked on Debian Games Team)
[21:45] <loic-m> since it's a front-end that can play many different categories of games
[21:46] <loic-m> and there's no ArcadeGame subcategory
[21:46] <RainCT> I see. There's Applications/Emulators but I guess that isn't as fitting as Games..
[21:47] <RainCT> loic-m: ok, looks good to me other than what I've already mentioned
[21:47] <loic-m> Yes, that's also my opinion, and other game-related emulators don't use that section either
[21:48] <loic-m> RainCT: I'll upload in a minute, pbuilding at the moment ;)
[21:48] <loic-m> I also added a Disclaimer, that way the package is ready for Debian too ;)
[21:49] <RainCT> Disclaimer?
[21:50] <loic-m> Because it's in contrib, and I forgot the disclaimer in debian/copyright
[21:50] <loic-m> What 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."
[21:52] <RainCT> Ah right.
[21:52] <RainCT> s/license/licenses/
[21:52] <RainCT> s/prohibits/prohibit. looks good other than that
[21:53] <loic-m> Thanks a lot!
[21:54] <loic-m> However it's a single license (they all use the same), so should it be license_s_ ?
[21:54] <RainCT> loic-m: ah, it's fine then
[21:55] <loic-m> Ok, I wasn't sure
[21:55] <RainCT> No problem, it was getting about time that I do some Ubuntu stuff :P
[22:07] <loic-m> Thanks RainCT!
[22:29] <chrisccoulson> would anyone mind taking a look at this FTBFS from a package i uploaded last night: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave3.2/3.2.0-2ubuntu1/+build/1154977
[22:29] <chrisccoulson> i'm not too sure what is going on :-/
[22:29] <chrisccoulson> the 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 build
[22:43] <RainCT> chrisccoulson: so it doesn't find the file and it aborts
[22:43] <chrisccoulson> RainCT - 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] <chrisccoulson> but i can't figure out what happens there
[22:44] <RainCT> chrisccoulson: ./plot.texi:69: pdfTeX error (ext1): invalid image dimensions.
[22:45] <chrisccoulson> i'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 line
[22:45] <chrisccoulson> and it's only failed on i386 :-/
[22:54] <Laney> is it arch:all documentation?
[22:55] <chrisccoulson> Laney - it is
[22:57] <Laney> that'll explain that then
[22:58] <chrisccoulson> ah, yeah, i see now
