stochasticwhat does it mean to 'ack' a bug?08:22
dholbachacknowledge, approve08:23
stochastici.e. upload a fix?08:23
directhexstochastic, depends on the type of bug08:32
stochasticdirecthex, can you explain, or is there a page definition somewhere?08:33
directhexstochastic, usually acks are used in ubuntu for bugs requiring sponsorship - i.e. the bug gets ack'd to say "yes, this should happen"08:35
\shmoins08:35
* stochastic thinks he understands now08:36
stochasticso it would be kosher to ask if a motu could ack Bug #325004 and Bug #415680  ??08:38

juanjedholbach: Do you mind to check the changes to the package we are reviewing the other day? http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/nautilus-md5sum ;-)08:46
directhexdholbach, nah, still needs looking over. i'll take care of tap-plugins since it looks like a simple upload08:47

stochasticdholbach I'd love to sort out any issues still left on the denemo bug, should you have the time.08:58
frandieguezHi to all, I have a question regarding the creation of deb packages. I'm making a virtual package for 32 and 64 bits platforms, but for 64 bits doesn't exist one package. Does exist a standarized method for solve this issue at debian/control file?08:58
directhexfrandieguez, is it a missing build-dep or a missing binary package?08:59
frandieguez@directhex the main problem is that I have made a package for easy-installing of Chipmunk program08:59
frandieguezThe problem is that at 64 bits platforms the program doesn't work09:00
frandieguezSo, I can't do a package for chipmunk for 64 bits platform and the virtual package that has to include the chipmunk package isn't consistent09:01
directhexif the app doesn't work on amd64, why make a package for it for amd64?09:04
frandieguez@directhex let me explain. I have made a package that collects programs for my pupils like (gcc, gdb, netbeans.... and others), this packge is a virtual package that depends over the rest09:08
directhexmetapackage. a virtual package is something else09:09
directhexprobably your easiest option is to Recommend: the package which isn't on all arches09:09
directhexrecommends are pulled in when they can be09:10
frandieguez@directhex additionally I have made a package for chipmunk program http://www.dcc.uchile.cl/~lmateu/CC41C/chipmunk.html09:10
frandieguez@dorectjex good point!09:10
frandieguez@directhex that works perfectly!09:12
directhexstochastic, ftbfs on itanium09:17
stochasticdirecthex, yes I see, but previous versions also ftbfs on itanium09:18
stochasticso I assume it's an issue with the code, I will forward the log upstream09:18
directhexplease do09:18
slytherinfrandieguez: when defining dependencies you can specify architectures like this ' gcc [!amd64], netbeans [!sparc]'09:22
frandieguez@slytherin with [!amd64] parameter you mean "install gcc package unless you are on amd64 platform", isn't it?09:27
slytherinfrandieguez: right.09:28
slytherinin simply words, no dependency on gcc on amd64 platform09:28
frandieguezthanks, this solution is more elegant09:28
slytherinfrandieguez: you can also specify multiple arch like this - [amd64 sparc] (only on amd64 or sparc) or [!amd64 !sparc] (all platforms other than amd64 or sparc).09:31

logari81what is the normal process for removing a part of an upstream tarball, just manually removing it from the orig.tar.gz? should the exclusion also be considered in a get-orig target or in the watch file?12:41
juanjedholbach: thank you so much. I've learned a lot of datails to have a look with this package. I'll check the others I have in queue :-)12:42
dholbachsuper :)12:42
slytherinlogari81: What do you mean by manually? It is preferred that get-orig-source will give you the correct .orig.tar.gz as it is supposed to go in distro. So yes you should handle removal there.12:44
juanjedholbach: one question about your last comment12:47
dholbachfire away12:47
juanjedholbach: the Standards-Version is not the debian-policy version?12:48

dholbachit is12:48
juanjeI mean12:48
logari81slytherin: ok, I am trying to find an example package corresponding to such a case, just to be sure12:48
dholbachseems we have debian-policy and lintian out of sync :)12:48
juanjedholbach:  I just checked with rmadison and told me there is 3.8.2.012:49
slytherinI believe there is already 3.8.3 of policy12:49
juanjein karmic12:49
juanjeops12:49
juanjedholbach: so then I should put 3.8.2 or 3.8.3 for karmic?12:50
dholbachjust leave it12:50
dholbachlike it is12:50
juanjeok12:50

Sam-I-Amhowdy15:05
Sam-I-Amwandered over here from #ubuntu-server with some packaging questions...15:06
Sam-I-Amwhen building a package from source, what determines which files get copied from the original source tree into debian/build ?15:06
bddebianHeya gang15:06
maxbSam-I-Am: Fundamentally, it's whatever files get copied by the execution of debian/rules targets15:07
maxbOften debian/rules will delegate to debhelper dh_* commands for most of that15:08
Sam-I-Amyeah...15:08
Sam-I-Amso openldap copies most of its tree into debian/build... except 'contrib'15:08
Sam-I-Amstuff is getting built in contrib... just back in the main source tree which is a problem15:08
Sam-I-Amtrying to move that into debian/build15:09
maxbHrm... "debian/build" ? What is that?15:11
maxbThe usual directories are debian/tmp and debian/$(BINARY_PACKAGE_NAME)15:11
Sam-I-Amthe directory which gets the openldap source for building15:11
Sam-I-Amat least with openldap15:11
maxbHrm. Quirky buildsystem15:11
Sam-I-Amy.. yeah15:12
Sam-I-Ami dont think i'm about to change that part :)15:12
Sam-I-Ammaxb: i'm still not sure how its copying those files15:23
Sam-I-Amits not obvious to me15:23

logari81I am packaging a library (getfem) which in its orig.tar.gz contains the sources of another library (superlu) in a separate directory. I ve realized though, that superlu exists in ubuntu as a standalone package. I am wondering if I can/should delete the superlu folder from the original tarball. Since the superlu version provided with getfem partly suffers from missing copyright headers it would be nice if I could get rid of it.17:36
logari81I ve tried to find a similar case looking for *-dfsg source packages but I couldn't find a similar example17:37

fabrice_spby the way, how can I take over the actual maintainer? Asking him to orphan the package, or through Debian Bug #484637 ?19:29
ubottuDebian bug 484637 in aptoncd "aptoncd: should this package be removed?" [Important,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/48463719:30
bddebianfabrice_sp: If he is OK with you taking it over, it's just a matter of changing yourself to the maintainer and noting it in debian/changelog.  You could probably close #484637 with that changelog entry too if you wanted.19:34

bddebianheh19:44
mathiazjtimberman: hey19:56
jtimbermanmathiaz: saw your comments on merb.. for the rules file, can those items be handled in the next release? as is the rules bundles the packages just fine. I can add the readme.source of course.19:57
mathiazjtimberman: did you try to remove all the rules from the file?19:59
mathiazjtimberman: to me it seems that all the code in the rules file is pretty much a cut'n paste from the pkg-ruby-rb cdbs class19:59
jtimbermanmathiaz: per suggestion from one of the debian-ruby-extras folks i copied an existing package (couldn't say off hand at this point which one :))20:02
mathiazjtimberman: right - it doesn't seem trivial20:13
mathiazjtimberman: so we can defer it to a later release20:14
jtimbermangreat20:14
jtimbermanI'll upload w/ the README.source added20:14
mathiazjtimberman: great. thanks20:14
jtimbermanmathiaz: should be uploaded in a moment20:20
mathiazjtimberman: is it normal that merb requires rails?20:47
jtimbermanNo.20:48
mathiazjtimberman: when installing one of merb package rails gets pulled in20:48

mathiazjtimberman: yop20:48
mathiazjtimberman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/255899/20:48
mathiazjtimberman: but it's not  problem with the merb packaging20:49
jtimbermanHmm.20:49
mathiazjtimberman: it's probably one of its dependency that recommends rails20:49
jtimbermanYeah.20:49
mathiazjtimberman: and recommends are installed by default20:49
mathiazjtimberman: this can be fixed post-FeatureFreeze20:49
jtimbermanwhat packages did you specify to install?20:49
jtimberman'merb'?20:50
mathiazjtimberman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/255900/20:50

mathiazjtimberman: hm - interesting20:54
jtimbermanyeah what is a 'ruby 4.2' ?!20:54
jtimbermanthats bizarre, that looks like a binary program package, but its a completely different version than 'ruby'20:56
mathiazjtimberman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/255906/20:56
mathiazjtimberman: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ruby20:57
mathiazjtimberman: This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default Ruby version (currently 1.8.x).20:57
jtimbermanIndeed. Weird that the version is 4.2.20:57
mathiazjtimberman: yeah - it's just that the numbering scheme isn't related to the actual version of ruby it depends on20:59
mathiazjtimberman: it basically is a meta-package20:59
jtimbermanyeah. So this rails...21:00
mathiazjtimberman: so what's left now is stompserver and chef21:01
mathiazjtimberman: we'll look at the rails depency later - first focus on getting all the package in the archive in time for FeatureFreeze21:02
