TheMusoDo such packages as xsplash, indicator-session, and libdbusmenu require feature freeze exceptions to be updated? Yes I know Canonical works on them, but they are new upstream releases after all. (I am looking into sponsoring uploads, and want to be sure an FFE is not required before I do so.)06:03

Ryan52dholbach, asac, didrocks: that ugly hack of a wrapper script around gnome-web-photo instead of linking properly to libxul was probably a bad idea...09:27

pittiTheMuso: eww, can we do without PK-gnome, please?10:12
pittiwe really don't want to propose it as general interface for installing packages10:12
pittiPK is not suitable to be a general package installer on Debianish systems10:13
pittiand it's painfully slow, too10:13
mvowe should discuss this at next UDS, but if we can not get debconf support for PK I guess we need to bite the bullet and provide a PK compatible dbus session interface10:15
mvowe have a debconf frontend for aptdaemon, so its not a technical problem (anymore)10:15
cjwatsonI think upstream said that if we want the former it should be done using the latter10:15
mvooh well10:15
pittimvo: that, and conffiles10:16
mvoright10:16
cjwatsonJoey and I talked with Guillem at DebConf about moving bits of debconf into dpkg; it's still not out of the question that we might be able to get conffile prompts implemented using debconf10:16
cjwatsonwhich really does need to happen ultimately10:17
james_wfor conffiles, would there be an issue with doing the prompting at the end of the run?10:30
james_wi.e. are there good reasons why the prompt is done when it is?10:31
cjwatsonthe package isn't configured properly until the conffile is replaced; for instance you often need to replace the conffile before starting a daemon10:33
cjwatsonthis can be pretty importance10:33
cjwatsonimportant10:33
pittibut debconf is also done at preinst time, so wrt. conffiles this should DTRT?10:34
pittiseb128: ah, retracers didn't upgrade yet, so they failed again; upgrading manually and restarting10:35
seb128pitti, thanks10:35

pittiseb128: no problem, just to let you know why you got another set of spam mails10:36
dholbachmok0: great session yesterday!10:37
cjwatsonpitti: yes; but conffiles are postinst-time anyway10:40
TheMusopitti: Right will look Monday, but I guess we have to disable the install feature in paprefs then, or patch it to use apt...10:46
pittiTheMuso: what does it want to install?10:48
TheMusopitti: afaik to install things like the bits needed to talk over the network via upnp/zeroconf etc I suspect.10:55
pittiTheMuso: we could replace that with a call to gksu synaptics...? (there's a standard invocation for this to install a particular package; let me know if you need it)10:56
TheMusopitti: ok thanks10:56
seb128TheMuso, hey, there is a new libcanberra version available in case you didn't notice10:57
seb128not sure if you want to do the update10:57
TheMusoseb128: Known, and wasn't sure if it was under the GNOME upstrea version umbrella, so just pulled important fixes from it for now.10:59

pittitaavikko: but yes, you shouldn't bother sending a 1GB dump..14:01
pittiogra: I thought it was collectively decided at UDS already14:01

ograi wasnt there14:02
ograah, cool14:02
pittiusplash should start (1) on interactivity (boot password), (2) on fsck, (3) when X takes too long to start14:02

RainCTKeybuk: Hey. Does D-Bus on Karmic have some limitation (as in the size of the answer to a call or something like that) impossed which wasn't there  in Jaunty?14:30
KeybukRainCT: not that I know of14:50
Keybukthere *are* limits to such things14:50
Keybukbut I don't think they have changed14:50
Keybukin fact, the primary limit of D-Bus used to be the length of time a receiver of a message was permitted to take to reply to it until it timed out14:50
Keybukand that's been entirely removed14:50
ograKeybuk, did you see my ping before ?14:51
Keybukogra: no14:51
ograKeybuk, did you notice that the boot slows down with every apparmor profile thats being adeed (additional reads ... i see a massive impact on armel but suspect it happens on other areches as well, just not as noticeable)14:51
jdstrandogra, Keybuk: that is not accurate any more14:51
Keybukograyes14:51
ograjdstrand, since when ?14:51
ograi see it on A514:51
jdstrandogra, Keybuk: or at least not noticably accuate14:51
Keybukthough that should be largely fixed in karmic aiui14:52
KeybukI've certainly not noticed apparmor take that long14:52
Keybuk(and I made it largely background anyway in my prototype - so services depend on it but not X)14:52
ografor me it's enough to make usplash time out14:52
RainCTKeybuk: Weird. We are having problems with Zeitgeist, always getting the generic error message ("may have timeout/disconnected/etc") when fetching more than 140 items in Karmic, but this works fine on Jaunty (and is actually pretty fast). Anyway, thanks for the info :)14:52
jdstrandogra: kees implemented binary caching for the profiles14:52
ogra(on armel)14:52
ograjdstrand, after usplash timed out i can slowly count to 5 to see the [ok] appear14:53
jdstrandogra: this is very fast loading, assuming that the cache file exists. if it doesn't already exist, it the cache file must be compiled (done automatically)14:53

ograok, i'll keep an eye on it ...14:54
jdstrandogra: that is certainly odd-- it shouldn't take that long. kees did the implementation so you'd want to follow up with him for problems you are having with it14:54
ograi guess usplash needs a bigger timeout anyway on arm14:54
ograwill do ...14:55
jdstrandogra: this feature was added way before A5, so I'm not sure what is going on14:55
Keybukthe usplash timeout thing is interesting14:55
ograi'm currently busy with other stuff and will ping him if i have time for tests and measurements14:55
KeybukI just noticed yesterday that there's no support for it in the upstart-based boot14:55
Keybukso technically we need to disable the timeout entirely ;)14:55
ogrameaning ?14:55
ograit cant time out at all ?14:55
Keybukright14:56

jdstrandcjwatson: hmm, bug #423485 doesn't seem to be fixed by the rebuild17:29

ebroderIs it OK for package-a to depend on package-b, and package-b to depend on a >= version of package-a?19:48
ebroderI don't know whether apt will do the right thing with that or not19:48
cyber_666_ukhey - can anyone submit software to the repositories?19:48
cyber_666_ukhow does that work, do you need to give out your source code?19:49
slangasekebroder: it's generally inadvisable; the package manager has provisions for breaking dependency loops, but it's better to not have them in the first place (e.g., by putting everything in a single binary package instead of splitting it)19:55
ebroderHmm...that might actually be an option. This used to be a one-way dependency pointer until the change I just made, so it was less of an issue :)19:56
ebroderIt should be fine if apt wants to temporarily break the loop, though. Thanks19:57
cyber_666_ukis there a page you can point me to?19:57
kirklandcjwatson: looking ...20:07
kirklandcjwatson: looks okay by me20:12
kirklandcjwatson: i had added the avahi-utils recommends locally here20:12
kirklandcjwatson: so i can fix that up on merge20:12
kirklandcjwatson: would you like me to merge, and push that to our working tree?20:12
sgallaghmathiaz: ping20:25
mathiazsgallagh: hi20:25
sgallaghmathiaz: I don't know if you caught the bug update, but I fixed that hang you were seeing in the proxy provider.20:26
mathiazsgallagh: right - I saw something going through20:26
mathiazsgallagh: do you plan to maintain a 0.5.X branch?20:27
sgallaghI figured you'd probably want to pull that and the D-BUS fix in and roll another package20:27
sgallaghmathiaz: Not at this time, mainly because we're targeting 0.6.0 for Sept. 24th20:27
mathiazsgallagh: understood20:28
mathiazsgallagh: thanks for letting me know20:28
sgallaghmathiaz: I wanted to ask something else20:28
sgallaghmathiaz: Does the Ubuntu development process have anything like concerted feature test days?20:28
sgallaghI'd like to try and get one scheduled for the SSSD if so20:28
mathiazmarjo: bdmurray: ^^?20:29

sgallaghmathiaz: Can you possibly look into scheduling one for us?20:31
mathiazsgallagh: we could organize such a day though20:31

brycesistpoty, wow that's an oddball bug21:01
brycesistpoty, but if that patch solves it, yeah I wouldn't have a problem seeing that go in for -cirrus.  Looks properly conditionalized to only affect the specific chip21:01
sistpotybryce: ok, thanks... I'll take care to forward it upstream as well then21:02
brycesistpoty, so yes, if testing confirms it works, feel free to upload, but please be sure to check launchpad after a couple weeks in case there are any regression bugs reported21:02
brycegreat21:02
sistpotybryce: sure, iirc I'm still subscribed to -cirrus bugs (iirc there aren't many people with real cirrus cards out there *g*)21:03
brycehehe21:03
sistpotyand the 4 mb versions seem to be extremely rare, still haven't managed to get one via ebay :(21:04
cjwatsonkirkland: I think it's awaiting an FFE (there's a bug), but otherwise yes please21:16
cjwatsonunless somebody wants to process that :)21:16
kirklandcjwatson: i was just going to commit to the upstream project for now, and wait for soren to push a package upload21:19
cjwatsonok, if that's cool with upstream21:20

moldyhi22:46
moldycan i safely delete/bzr ignore the .upload files dput creates, or is the information in them important for something?22:47
cjwatsonyou can safely delete them; the log file causes dput not to upload the same thing again should you run it again on the same .changes22:47
moldycjwatson: ok, thank you22:48
moldyi just created my first ppa and tried to upload some packages22:54
moldyi got an error e-mail saying "Unable to find distroseries: unstable"22:54
moldywhat's the right way to correct this?22:54
cjwatsondon't put "unstable" in the top line of your changelog - use "karmic" or whatever22:55
sistpotymoldy: use one of ubuntu (karmic, jaunty, intrepid, ...) in debian/changelog22:55
moldysistpoty: ah, ok, thank you22:56
sistpotynp22:56
moldyand you too, cjwatson :)22:56
cjwatsonthat should really be in https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/UploadErrors22:56
cjwatson(it isn't)22:56
cjwatsonmaybe you could suggest that to them22:56
sistpotyimho a ppa should accept $whatever except releases22:58
cjwatsonthe top line of the changelog tells it which release to build for and against22:59
cjwatsonso that could only work if you reinvented the wheel to tell it some other way22:59
* sistpoty thought that was the distribution field in the changes file23:00
moldywhat's the right way to suggest that, cjwatson?23:00
cjwatsonmoldy: there's a link at the bottom of the page for giving feedback23:01
cjwatsonsistpoty: which is generated from the top line of the changelog23:01
moldycjwatson: ah, right23:02
sistpotycjwatson: yep, but changing that wouldn't mean I'd hand out a ticket to upload a ppa package to ubuntu :)23:02
sistpotywould mean that I wouldn't even23:02
cjwatsonoh, you mean that it should accept something that is not the same as Ubuntu release names23:02
sistpotyyes23:03
cjwatsonI thought you meant it should accept *anything*23:03
cjwatsonyes, I agree - there's a pretty old bug about the replay attack there23:03
sistpotyiirc it's fixed nowadays (I filed it after siretart discovered it)... but you never now ;)23:03
sistpotyknow even23:03
moldyit might also be nice if dput would check this client-side23:03
sistpotysame is true for revu. the .changes file is there for the pleasure of revu admins but gets stripped for storage purposes (iirc)23:04
sistpotymoldy: partially agree... otoh I couldn't upload to unstable then (ok, agreed I can't right now myself, and even if I could, I should test the package really on unstable)23:06
cjwatsonI can upload to unstable and occasionally do so from Ubuntu (after testing on unstable, of course)23:08
cjwatsonusually due to forgetting which window I'm in but ...23:09
moldyok, one should make it configureable if one did it23:10
cjwatsonit doesn't really bother me, in order to actually break something in unstable you have to upload to the wrong place as well as having the wrong distribution target23:11
cjwatsonso there's no real safety reason for a client-side check23:12
* sistpoty wonders what would happen if he'd put multiple values in the Distribution field of a .changes file and would upload that23:19
Davieythe intertubes would melt.23:20
sistpotyDaviey: let's see, I'm just testing revu with it :)23:22
Daviey*BOOM* :)23:22
cjwatsonsistpoty: there's a bug about that ;-)23:24
