iulianbobbo: Heh, awesome!00:20
bobboiulian: been a good three or four months since I last uploaded anything (Ever tried running pbuilder on 256mb of RAM?), but got a couple up the other day, felt great to be back :D00:21
iulianbobbo: Hehe, I cannot remember if I tried to build something on a computer with only 256mb of ram.00:24
bobboiulian: you definitely do not want to ever try00:25
bobboiulian: took about an hour to build a tiny python based package once, I then gave up and waited until I have 4gb of RAM :D00:25
mardoctEver put Crysis on a Pentium 4? Just about as successful.00:26
iulianbobbo: Yikes!00:26
mardoctI did it for laughs, just to see how it was.00:27
mardoctIt barely was is the best description.00:27
bobbomardoct: I bet you got some epic framrates with that00:27
mardoctIt was a slideshow for a few seconds, I had my laughs and quickly removed it afterwards.00:28
bobboI can vaguely run Crysis at pretty high settings, but the lag in some places is unbearable00:29
mardoctMy main computer handles it pretty well at highish settings. I barely played it, I just use it as a sort of casual benchmarking tool.00:30

mardoctThe only game I really love and don't toss away within in month is Deus Ex. It's about 9 years old.00:32
mardoctI only have good hardware to be able to convert .avi to DVD in decent times.00:33

DerGrafhi all12:25
DerGrafI think I've fixed a bug in libgtkada2-bin... I've already uploaded it to lunchpad.. so what should I do then?12:26
logari81does anyone know (or have an opinion about) why autoconf generates such an indentation and line breakage mess in the configure scripts it creates?12:30
iulianDerGraf: Subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors.12:37
DerGrafiulian: ok.. thanks.. I'll do that in a few hours.. got to do some garden-work ;)12:39
hyperairlogari81: the reason is the m4 macro expansion.12:44
hyperairyou're not meant to read configure, you're meant to read the m4 macros. so the m4 macros are indented/linewrapped properly within their own files.12:45
hyperairreindenting the macros upon expansion is overengineering, and is bound to cause issues if/when the reindentation fails.12:46
logari81hyperair: actually indentation is not my worst problem, line breakage is. With autoconf 2.64 I have an inline "fi" which breaks my configure target which worked with 2.63 (coincidentally I suppose)12:47
hyperairlogari81: how did that happen? shell doesn't usually bork on indentation issues.12:48
hyperairand fi can be put anywhere from on the same line to a few blank lines down =\12:49
logari81hyperair: the problematic line looks like12:49

james_wcould that be changed?18:29
stochasticI don't know enough about it yet, I could ask on some mailing lists18:30
james_wit's much better if the code can be shared rather than embedded18:30
stochasticyes18:30
james_wanyway, this package looks good, uploading18:30

ximionHi! Could someone please review my projectM-Jack-Packaging? It is in revu since May and has no review yet: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/projectm-jack (To build it, projectm-qt is needed: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/libprojectm-qt )18:43
ximion(projectM-Jack is a small package to enable projectM visualisations for the JackAudio server)18:44
james_wximion: libprojectm-qt1-dev shouldn't have the SONAME included in the name18:47
james_wit should just be libprojectm-qt-dev18:47

james_wsorry?18:49

james_wif there is a SONAME bump then the two library packages won't be co-installable, which is a real pain18:53
james_wfor projectm-jack, my only complaints are licensing18:53
james_wdebian/copyright is incomplete18:53
james_wthe license seems to be LGPL, but COPYING is the GPL18:53
james_wand was video_init.cpp written for this project?18:54
ximionjames_w: Should I delete the image? It's not needed by the library, but by the projectM-jack package.18:55
james_wit should be shipped in that package then18:55
ximionjames_w: Changed. I don't know if video_init.cpp was written for this project, but I added Peter Sperl to the copiriight holders list.18:57
james_wI see now he's a projectm developer, so that's ok18:57
ximionThe GPLv2 (look at the COPYING file) is shipped with this package18:57
ximionjames_w: Oh, one file is LGPL. Should I add  a short version of the LGPL to the copyright file too?18:58
james_wbut I can't find any GPL code in projectm-jack18:58
james_wany code explicitly declared as GPL, sorry18:59
asomethingany REVU admins around?18:59
ximionjames_w: The copying-file says it's GPL...18:59
james_wso it's ambiguous18:59
ximionWhat should I do with the license?18:59
james_wwell, clarification would be good19:00
james_wI can only find explicit declarations of LGPL and MIT/X1119:00
james_wthe whole thing could be GPL, but that's unusual19:00
james_wclarification would be needed to get this in the archive19:00

AmpelbeinQuestion about Fakesyncs: as far as i understand, the version number should become <debianrevision>build1 so that the next revision gets autosynced. but i see a problem. let's say we have foo-5.3-0ubuntu1, debian has foo-5.3-1 but with different orig.tar.gz md5. now we do a fakesync foo-5.3-1build1 - when debian releases a foo-5.3-2 it gets autosynced but still has different orig.tar.gz checksum. how is this prevented to happen?21:04
Laneydont use buildN21:05
LaneyI imagine the autosync script deals with it, but you should use ubuntuN for human consumption imo21:06
AmpelbeinLaney: ok, that's what i was thinking. but the recent upload of waf (1.5.8+dfsg-2build1) reminded me to ask here.21:07
superm1Ampelbein, ideally shouldn't the orig.tar.gz be the same even if we release it sooner?21:11
Ampelbeinsuperm1: generally speaking: yes. i don't know about waf, I did not upload the ubuntu or debian version.21:12
