| warner | cool. Any idea how I pull a source package out of the debian NEW queue? POX says he uploaded a new versions to debian, but that was only half an hour ago, and normally I pull stuff from the mirrors | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| binarymutant | warner, no cvs ? | 00:04 |
| iulian | warner: See kirkland's mail. | 00:04 |
| binarymutant | err vcs | 00:04 |
| warner | iulian: got it | 00:05 |
| iulian | warner: I'm heading to bed now. I'll take a glance at them tomorrow morning. | 00:07 |
| iulian | Night. | 00:07 |
| warner | am I correct in thinking that once a package is advocated-for and "uploaded to NEW", that any subsequent fixes should bump the -0ubuntu1 version number? | 00:07 |
| warner | thanks! | 00:07 |
| warner | (I may upload a new tahoe that relaxes the pycryptopp version requirement) | 00:07 |
| iulian | Excellent. | 00:07 |
| warner | (to allow it to run with the pycryptopp that was just synced) | 00:07 |
| bdrung | xnox: xiphos (from mentors) has changes outside debian/ : http://paste.ubuntu.com/260098/ | 00:09 |
| bdrung | xnox: there are also some lintian warnings: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260099/ | 00:10 |
| bdrung | xnox: especially this should be fixed: W: xiphos: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/xiphos /usr/lib | 00:10 |
| * slangasek eyes a package in NEW that has license detail broken out for all the auto-generated autotools files | 00:13 | |
| prefrontal | would someone be so kind as to explain to me my chances of getting my packages into karmic, and what i should be doing right now to improve those chances | 00:13 |
| soren | slangasek: Yikes. That must have taken ages. | 00:14 |
| slangasek | soren: dunno, but it's ugly clutter | 00:14 |
| slangasek | I hope no one's recommending detailing those in debian/copyright | 00:14 |
| slangasek | given that the copyright doesn't attach to the binaries | 00:14 |
| jbernard | slangasek: thanks for all the input on libcgroup, I'm making those changes now | 00:14 |
| slangasek | jbernard: sure thing | 00:15 |
| zooko | warner: per kirkland's mail we should post a sync-request for foolscap. Having glanced at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess , I think the best way to do this is for you to run requestsync and then change https://bugs.launchpad.net/foolscap/+bug/419510 to reference the newly created sync-request ticket. | 00:15 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 419510 in foolscap "please update to foolscap-0.4.2" [Undecided,New] | 00:15 |
| kirkland | zooko: ack | 00:16 |
| warner | ok, I got the debian .dsc, and am I'm figuring out how to run requestsync now | 00:16 |
| warner | kirkland: am I correct in assuming that I must run 'requestsync foolscap*.dsc' ? | 00:17 |
| warner | or does it just take a package name | 00:17 |
| kirkland | warner: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/man1/requestsync.1.html | 00:18 |
| warner | got it, apparently it takes a package name | 00:18 |
| kirkland | <source package> = a .dsc | 00:18 |
| warner | which is unfortunate, because the new version of foolscap is still in incoming.debian.org, and requestsync isn't seeing it yet | 00:18 |
| warner | so I guess I have to wait for the next dinstall run, at 01:52UTC, in about 90 minutes | 00:21 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: hey - still around? | 00:25 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: yep | 00:25 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: the orig.tar.gz has different md5sum from the one published on sf | 00:26 |
| openQRM-Matt | yes, e.g. we have debian/ in our svn in the original sources, the package sources are created with the "debsource" target | 00:26 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: since we keep everthing in the svn the package is based on the current latest svn. | 00:28 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: does that mean that openqrm_4.5.orig.tar.gz is not 4.5 but an svn snapshot instead? | 00:29 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathias: also every change applied for the packaging enhancements + fixes are directly commited upstream from either the team or myself | 00:29 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: yes, it is post 4.5 including the packaging fixes | 00:30 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: the diffstats says a lot of other stuff has been changed too. | 00:31 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: so the it doesn't include *only* packaging fixes. | 00:31 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: sure, we are working on it heavily, anyway the changes are "almost" only in the packaging because the newer stuff is removed by "debsource" target | 00:32 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: a diffstat between the official 4.5 release tarball from sf and the 4.5.orig.tar.gz from revu shows: | 00:35 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: 1830 files changed, 95602 insertions(+), 113404 deletions(- | 00:35 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: I'm a bit confused by these numbers | 00:35 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: hm nm | 00:36 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: I was wrong | 00:36 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: this is all what we have changed for the ubuntu packaging. Please check our svn commits in the last weeks, they were lots of changes which are directly commited upstream to our svn | 00:36 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: now that I've correctly setup the directories, I end up with: 835 files changed, 5424 insertions(+), 23226 deletions(-) | 00:38 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: still a lot, i know, parts of it is the new Amazon Cloud integration ... but I am sure you want to have especially this feature in karmic :P | 00:39 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: oh - I'm not discussing the changes. | 00:39 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: I'm concerned that this is *not* 4.5 | 00:39 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: it seems more to be an svn snapshot from the next release | 00:40 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: and thus should be named so | 00:40 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: ok, right, this is not exactly 4.5 but 4.5 + aws + ubuntu packaging changes | 00:40 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: we can name it 4.6 if you want ... will require some more changes and a rebuild | 00:40 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: oh well - that would be even better | 00:41 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathias: do we still have time for that ? | 00:42 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: i mean i have time :) just worried about the FF | 00:42 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: right. | 00:42 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: hm... would it make sense to call this 4.6~beta1? | 00:43 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathias: anyway, i can freeze the svn as you uploaded it and release 4.6, then we just need to update the version number | 00:43 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: i am fine with beta since there are many serious changes e.g. because of the FHS compliance | 00:44 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: ok - so I'll rename to 4.6~beta1 | 00:44 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: and you'll iron out everything to make a proper 4.6 release in the comming week | 00:45 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: ? | 00:45 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: :) yep, sounds good | 00:45 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: is there one single place to rename 4.5 to 4.6beta1? | 00:46 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: what would be required to change to 4.6-beta1 or something like that? | 00:47 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: dch should be enough, openQRM will still display 4.5 but i can fix this as soon as you want | 00:47 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: ok - I'll just update dch then | 00:47 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: and we'll fix the rest after FF | 00:47 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: great, testing the dch update here | 00:48 |
| openQRM-Matt | openqrm (4.6~beta1-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low | 00:48 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: right ? | 00:48 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: 4.6~beta1-0ubuntu1 | 00:49 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: karmic | 00:49 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: eh, karmic, of course :) | 00:49 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: and 4.6~beta1-0ubuntu1 instead 4.6~beta1-0ubuntu2, stupid me, getting late here | 00:50 |
| warner | kirkland: so, you said that you synced pycryptopp-0.5.14 from debian into ubuntu a little while ago. Is there an equivalent to incoming.debian.org where I could look at the packaging you used? | 00:51 |
| nhandler | In about 10 minutes, slangasek will be leading a Packaging Training session in -classroom about Feature Freeze and Freeze exceptions. With FF coming up tomorrow, this would be a good session to attend | 00:51 |
| bdrung | nhandler: will the FF at the beginning or end of day? | 00:51 |
| Laney | nooooooo | 00:51 |
| Laney | requestsync is broken | 00:52 |
| bdrung | Laney: then you have to do it by hand. | 00:52 |
| Laney | NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO | 00:52 |
| nhandler | bdrung: I don't know. iirc, it has happened around late afternoon UTC in the past, but there is no set time | 00:52 |
| TheMuso | I think a few people in -devel at least are treating it as Thursday 0 UTC. | 00:53 |
| bdrung | nhandler: ok, then i hopyfully get promoe in ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/419576 ) | 00:53 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 419576 in ubuntu "Sync promoe 0.1.0-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)." [Wishlist,New] | 00:53 |
| nhandler | bdrung: I'll look now and ACK it if it looks good | 00:54 |
| bdrung | nhandler: thanks | 00:54 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: openqrm-4.6~beta1 uploaded to karmic | 00:56 |
| bdrung | nhandler: in 17 hours i could probably subscribe ubuntu-archive directly | 00:56 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: now it will have to go through the archive admins | 00:56 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: Yeaaaahhh ! | 00:56 |
| nhandler | bdrung: :) | 00:56 |
| openQRM-Matt | mathiaz: Thank you so much ! Will care about the follow ups | 00:57 |
| nhandler | bdrung: And that package is very new. /me needs to go hunting for the .dsc since pull-debian-source won't work on it yet | 00:57 |
| bdrung | nhandler: http://incoming.debian.org/promoe_0.1.0-1.dsc | 00:57 |
| Laney | psh | 00:57 |
| Laney | i'll upload it myself instead | 00:57 |
| Laney | much easier than copy and pasting | 00:58 |
| bdrung | nhandler: it is really new. the upstream release is two days ago and the package was uploaded to Debian 11 hours ago. | 01:02 |
| bdrung | nhandler: gone throught NEW in one day is very fast. | 01:02 |
| nhandler | bdrung: That is very true. I've had packages take several months to get through Debian NEW. | 01:03 |
| bdrung | nhandler: the normal waiting time was one till two month. | 01:03 |
| nhandler | bdrung: But they also just got some new ftpmasters, so that might explain the faster times | 01:04 |
| bdrung | yes | 01:04 |
| openQRM-Matt | matthiaz: Just want to check if you still need me the next hours ? otherwise I would go to bed now and be back tomorrow, Really excited :) | 01:08 |
| mathiaz | openQRM-Matt: nope - you can go to bed | 01:09 |
| nhandler | bdrung: ACK'd | 01:09 |

| james_w | ScottK: I'm interested why you appear to have filed lots of requests for new package syncs that were synced from Debian a couple of days ago | 01:29 |
| james_w | ScottK: not a criticism, but it seems to indicate some flaw in the tools that it didn't notice the packages were already in | 01:29 |
| Laney | if you pass -n to requestsync it doesn't check | 01:30 |
| Laney | afaik | 01:30 |
| james_w | that might be it | 01:31 |
| warner | hm, another question.. tahoe functions correctly with python2.4/2.5/2.6, however there are a bunch of deprecation warnings when run under 2.6 (some of which originate in the dependencies, so are harder to fix) | 01:48 |
| warner | would it be reasonable to hardwire the /usr/bin/tahoe shbang line to #!/usr/bin/python2.5 ? and do.. something, to the debian/control file, to express this requirement? | 01:49 |
| slangasek | warner: I think the package would be less likely to pass NEW if it hard-coded python2.5; the deprecation warnings from the deps should be treated as bugs in those deps, and should in any case not stop the package from using python2.6 | 01:50 |
| * warner nods | 01:51 | |
| warner | I guess it's just noisy, and that's ok | 01:51 |
| warner | and, for the tahoe-lafs package (which I imagine would go into "universe"), should the Maintainer: be ubuntu-devel-discuss, or motu-devel? I've received conflicting suggestions. | 01:54 |
| slangasek | 'update-maintainer' these days seems to only use ubuntu-devel-discuss | 01:56 |
| warner | ok, I'll go with that.. thanks | 01:57 |

| Hobbsee | This channel is a question-free zone, sorry | 05:11 |
| Hobbsee | there may only be silence, and humour, here. | 05:11 |

| scriptwarlock | what ch | 05:12 |
| * Hobbsee was joking | 05:12 | |
| scriptwarlock | you got me | 05:12 |

| scriptwarlock | i was packing cclfox(cybercafe timer) but it needs liccls which a separate lirary that also needs libfox.. is there a way to link this? | 05:14 |
| scriptwarlock | libccls | 05:14 |
| scriptwarlock | library | 05:14 |
| porthose | scriptwarlock, if libccls and libfox are need at build time use the Build-Depends: field in debian/control, if they are not required at build time use the Depends: field | 05:56 |
| scriptwarlock | ok im opening the control let me try it | 05:57 |
| scriptwarlock | how important is the dh_shlibdeps | 06:04 |
| jmarsden | scriptwarlock: It is generally useful, to set up dependencies on any shared libraries your package needs for you, automagically. You will discover any mistakes regarding missing depends when you test build your package in a pbuilder or similar chrooted test build environment :) | 06:07 |
| scriptwarlock | yeah right im not thinking of commenting this, hehhe.. | 06:08 |
| scriptwarlock | and heres the error: dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: no dependency information found for /usr/local/lib/libccls.so.0 (used by debian/mkahawa-srv/usr/bin/mkahawa). | 06:09 |
| scriptwarlock | dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512 | 06:09 |

| slangasek | sebner: if you upload with this fixed, I'll accept it w/o a freeze exception on the grounds that it was all-but-ready by the deadline | 08:44 |

| slangasek | slytherin: it means "we know the current URL you have to specify, is ugly, nostra culpa, but do it anyway" | 09:03 |
| james_w | slangasek: is it me or do the examples in DEP-5 suggest that you don't need the warranty disclaimer for the GPL? | 09:03 |

| sistpoty|work | :) | 14:13 |
| sistpoty|work | sebner: maybe you'd like to upload a no-change rebuild of fteqcc? (if I understand it right, that could work around bug #408528) | 14:17 |

| zooko | Folks: pycryptopp-0.5.14 was synced from Debian yesterday and it is in the karmic queue: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+queue . A few hours ago feranick changed this ticket to mark the ticket as invalid for ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/419519 | 14:38 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 419519 in ubuntu "please sync pycryptopp-0.5.14 from Debian" [Undecided,Invalid] | 14:38 |
| zooko | Why would this ticket be considered invalid for ubuntu? | 14:39 |
| ScottK | It should have been marked fix released | 14:39 |
| ScottK | But it doesn't have much practical effect either way. | 14:39 |
| zooko | Okay, just curious. | 14:40 |
| zooko | Is it "released" when it is in the queue, or only after it has been archived? | 14:40 |
| james_w | syncs are closed when the sync is done | 14:40 |
| james_w | there is no process to auto-close them when the package actually lands in the distro | 14:41 |
| zooko | I see, thanks. | 14:41 |
| james_w | and due to the volume of syncs doing that by hand would send us all batty | 14:41 |
| zooko | Is there anything I can do to encourage Archivists to include pycryptopp from the queue into Karmic? | 14:41 |
| ScottK | zooko: if it's in the queue, just wait. | 14:42 |
| zooko | Okay. | 14:42 |
| ScottK | There's nothing needed, unless there is a technical reason to reject it, it'll get in. | 14:42 |

| jtimberman | should i be closing the [needs-packaging] tickets i opened for packages that are now in karmic? | 15:37 |
| geser | yes please, if the package is in karmic | 15:38 |
| geser | ideally you should have closed in your changelog | 15:40 |
| ScottK | geser: Close in changelog doesn't (I don't think) actually work. | 15:41 |
| ScottK | Or did they fix that? | 15:41 |
| geser | I meant the lp: #xxx closing | 15:41 |
| ScottK | Close in changelog (at least used to) only close bugs against the package in question and since needs-packaging bugs are packageless (by definition) they couldn't be closed that way. | 15:42 |
| ScottK | Yes. | 15:42 |
| geser | oh, doesn't REVU inform about missing bug in the changelog? | 15:42 |
| jtimberman | geser: I have the correct syntax in the changelog. | 15:42 |

| flohack | How would I proceed if I need to adjust /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to make a packaged php application work? | 16:08 |

| flohack | in the debian/rules file? | 16:09 |
| sistpoty|work | flohack: no, you mustn't adjust another packages config files | 16:11 |
| sistpoty|work | flohack: can't you fiddle with safe_mode throught the apache config? | 16:11 |
| sistpoty|work | flohack: then you could just drop a file into sites-available... | 16:12 |
| flohack | sistpoty|work: Any hint how I can set that in an apache config file? | 16:13 |
| sistpoty|work | flohack: I must admit, I'm not entirely sure if it's possible... (nor how it's done) | 16:14 |

| sistpoty|work | (with the first hit for apache2 config php safe_mode) | 16:15 |
| flohack | sistpoty|work: I tried 'php safe mode apache'... | 16:15 |
| sistpoty|work | heh | 16:16 |
| micahg | flohack: BTW safe_mode is deprecated in PHP 5.3 | 16:16 |
| flohack | micahg: Is there a replacement? Or a workaround....btw I currently have no idea what it actually does...would have to look that up | 16:17 |
| micahg | flohack: the manual isn't too specific | 16:19 |

| micahg | It's a security measure that never quite worked right per the manual | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | Daviey: regarding your question about generating debhelper input files, try groff, which generates debian/groff-base.files (ugh, I know, one of these days I'll convert it from dh_movefiles to dh_install) | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | it does this because some of the file names are version-dependent and I don't want to have to bother updating the list by hand for each new upstream version | 16:37 |
| cjwatson | Daviey: the '%: %.in' rule in debian/rules is responsible for this (I might have to change that when I move to dh(1) ...) | 16:38 |

| mzz | The cdbs manual says updating generated autotools files at build time is "*strongly* discouraged". Is an acceptable alternative to run "cdbs-edit-patch 90-update-autotools" and then "autoreconf", generating a patch that does the updating? | 16:57 |
| dholbach | mzz: yes, that's what the desktop team does in a lot of cases | 16:58 |
| dholbach | mzz: one patch for the change to configure.ac (for example), another patch for the autoconf stuff | 16:58 |
| dholbach | in most cases you'll just have to regenerate one of them and it's clear where each part comes from | 16:58 |
| mzz | yes, that's what I was doing. Thanks, just making sure I wasn't missing some trick. | 16:58 |
| mzz | and yes, autoreconf is a bit of a sledgehammer. Perhaps I should run just the autotools I actually need? | 16:59 |
| dholbach | sounds good | 16:59 |
| mzz | thanks again :) | 16:59 |
| dholbach | ROCK ON! | 16:59 |
| dholbach | in an ideal world we'd just use distributed version control and didn't bother with autogenerated files and tarballs, just upstream check outs and no patch systems :) | 17:00 |
| mzz | (perhaps I should leave well enough alone though. Just trying to get rid of some "dependency on .... could be avoided" warnings) | 17:01 |
| dholbach | mzz: that's very likely a patch that you can submit upstream afterwards | 17:02 |
| mzz | oh, another one. This thing uses boost. Is the correct approach to just depend on libboost-dev, and not manually on libboost1.x-dev for the highest x it still works with? | 17:02 |
| dholbach | you mean build-depends? | 17:02 |
| mzz | err, yes, of course. | 17:02 |
| dholbach | there's a few other folks in here who have more experience with boost than I do | 17:03 |
| dholbach | geser or scottK maybe? | 17:03 |
| RoAkSoAx | dholbach, is the MC meeting in one hour? | 17:03 |
| dholbach | RoAkSoAx: I sent you an email about it - unfortunately not, we can't make quorum :-( | 17:03 |
| dholbach | RoAkSoAx: if you could respond with times that usually work for you, we'll work something out real real quick | 17:04 |
| dholbach | I'm sorry | 17:04 |
| mzz | ah, it would help if I read. "This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default Boost version" in karmic. So just using whatever version libboost-dev gives me seems to be correct. | 17:04 |
| ScottK | mzz: Generally I think it's better to explicitly build-depend on a specific version of boost so you don't change accidentally. Since we don't do binNMUs most of the reasons Debian has an unversioned libboost-dev don't apply to us. | 17:04 |
| mzz | ahh | 17:04 |
| * sistpoty|work heads home... cya | 17:05 | |
| RoAkSoAx | dholbach, ok awesome, I just saw the email >) | 17:05 |
| mzz | ScottK: obvious next question: which version? The latest and greatest or the default one? | 17:05 |
| ScottK | mzz: I'd use 1.38. | 17:05 |
| ScottK | Failing that, the one that works. | 17:05 |
| mzz | ScottK: forgot to mention this is currently a jaunty package. Iiuc libboost-dev is still an actual package there? | 17:05 |
| ScottK | Yes. It is. | 17:05 |
| ScottK | For Jaunty I'd use 1.35. | 17:06 |
| mzz | but I guess I can just pick libboost1.38-dev there too, and it'll do the right thing on both jaunty and karmic. | 17:06 |
| ScottK | That was the supported version there. | 17:06 |
| ScottK | That works too. | 17:06 |
| mzz | err, no, libboost1.38-dev doesn't exist there, 1.37 is the latest. I'll just stick to 1.35 for now. Thanks! | 17:06 |
| ScottK | OK. I guess I rembered wrong. | 17:07 |
| mzz | well, I thought I'd seen 1.38 there too, and I'm actually using a jaunty system, I guess you're mainly working on karmic, not jaunty :) | 17:10 |

| sistpoty | zeco1: I've seen it alreay... removing a package is not a an option for an already released distribution (elmo once told me that such a thing would only happen if the package dropped an atomic bomb) | 22:22 |
| zeco1 | I haven't participated in the discussion on launchpad yet. I don't think removing it would be a favorable option, but couldn't someone raise the priority perhaps, so someone capable might resume maintaining the package? | 22:29 |
| zeco1 | it's been over 3 weeks now and as it was pointed out, over 550k people are affected (unknowingly) | 22:30 |
| sistpoty | zeco1: what do you think the priority should be? setting it is easy for me, but I must admit that I doubt it has much impact | 22:31 |
| zeco1 | sistpoty: ok, I'm not so familiar with the customs on bugs.launchpad. So isn't there anything else one might do in order to find a maintainer? | 22:33 |
| zeco1 | I mean even Apple patched this one, it's quite dangerous and might make Ubuntu look quite bad (I know multiverse comes with no guarantees, but the result remains problematic) | 22:34 |
| sistpoty | zeco1: usually the severity *does* get honoured, but for the maintainer/package ratio for multiverse packages is pretty bad, which means that even critical bugs might not be looked at. Sorry if I haven't been clear enough | 22:36 |
| sistpoty | zeco1: is there a way to obtain the patches from apple? | 22:36 |
| zeco1 | sistpoty: no I mentioned Apple because it had a bad reputation for waiting several months on a previous occasion, until an exploit was in the wild | 22:37 |
| ScottK | zeco1: Actually removal is very hard for a release. What it needs is someone willing to do the work for making the update. | 22:40 |
| zeco1 | ScottK: right, someone even compiled update 15 for karmic and it's even said that it would work flawlessly in jaunty, but nobody actually wants to deploy it there | 22:40 |
| ScottK | There's a process for getting security updates done. | 22:41 |
| ScottK | I'd ask in #ubuntu-hardened what testing would be needed for them to update it. | 22:41 |
| zeco1 | btw, Sun released an update 16 a few days later, but this isn't a security update | 22:41 |
| sistpoty | ScottK: don't we have someone from sun with upload privs? maybe we should assign this bug to him? | 22:42 |

| ScottK | james_w: Thanks. I'll deal with it the old fashioned way then. | 22:46 |
| * sistpoty must sleep now. gn8 everyone | 22:57 | |
| zeco1 | ScottK: The problem is, there's nothing to be testet yet in Jaunty. Or should I suggest to them to simply copy the .debs from karmic? | 22:59 |
| vorian | ScottK: done | 23:00 |
| ScottK | zeco1: Perhaps. | 23:00 |
| ScottK | vorian: Thanks. | 23:00 |
| zeco1 | also, I think testing of Java might be quite a huge task, depending on how thorough it would have to be (with its several packages). How did this work for the previous updates? | 23:01 |
