sistpotyhi folks00:31
ScottKHi sistpoty.  I've been waiting for you ....00:36
sistpotyhey ScottK00:36
sistpotywhat's up?00:36
ScottKsistpoty: Could you have a look at http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/searchandrescue00:37
ScottKI got it as far as I could ...00:37
ScottKI just noticed someone proposed a patch.00:38
sistpotyScottK: I'll give it a shot00:38
ScottKsistpoty: I'd settle for a review of the proposed patch.00:38
ScottKThanks.00:38
sistpotyScottK: after looking a bit, I guess the provided patch is brittle and might break later on. I'll try to fix it in a better way right now.00:54
ScottKsistpoty: Thanks.00:54
ScottKsistpoty: Feel free to take what I started and upload when you're done.  I mostly just want it taken care of.00:55
sistpotyScottK: that means I must do rigourous testing though *g*00:55
ScottKFortunately it doesn't require special hardware ....00:56
ScottKYep00:56
sistpotyyeah, since I switch from nvidia to ati, I still failed to get gl working again... which is good for my productivity :)00:56
sistpotyScottK: just uploaded a building version to revu, completely untested yet though (and missing documentation in changelog)...01:00
* sistpoty will fix that after a smoke, unless someone beats him to it01:01
quentusrexHow to I make sure a jaunty package is built with libtool 1.5 even though a newer one is out?01:08
sistpotyquentusrex: there only seems to be 2.2.6a-1ubuntu1 in jaunty, seems like you'll need to use that one01:11
sistpotyquentusrex: so I assume you'll need to adjust the build system if it fails with this version01:11
sistpotyScottK: crack, I can't test searchandrescue... it seems to need opengl nowadays01:13
quentusrexsistpoty: I need to use the package from hardy01:13
quentusrexlibtool 1.5.2601:13
ScottKquentusrex: You can't for the archive. It needs to be the current one.01:14
sistpotyScottK: can you finish searchandrescue?01:14
ScottKsistpoty: Add a changelog entry and I can.01:15
ScottKI need to know what you did ....01:15
sistpotyScottK: done, uploaded again to revu (this time w.o. .orig.tar.gz)01:22
ScottKOK.01:22
ScottKThanks01:22
sistpotyyou're welcome01:22
sistpotyurgh, revu is really getting low on disk space: /dev/md0              70568272  60785428   6226396  91% /srv01:24
* sistpoty makes mental note to really run fdupes soonish01:24
sistpotyslangasek: that was a great idea to make a session regarding ftbfs here from you... I've been sponsoring a number of ftbfs uploads today :)01:27
ScottKSeriously, I think I should be able to reliably type the 4 letters in dpkg by now in the correct order.01:45
sistpotyheh01:46
ScottKsistpoty: Seems to work.  Uploaded.01:56
sistpotythanks ScottK! :)01:56
ScottKsistpoty: I don't know why we don't use REVU that way more often.01:57
ScottKsistpoty: What do you think about the lubuntu meta FFe?01:57
sistpotyScottK: 1) I think there's also a use case for a VCS here, but admitted, I don't like bzr too much... yet01:59
ScottKI think bzr is fine.  It's certainly easier to get started with than Git.01:59
ScottKVCS just seems like overkill for this though.01:59
ScottKdebuild -S and dput revu just seems very easy.02:00
sistpotyif the package is already in a vcs, ready to be modified, known by a VCS that everyone uses, that would make things simpler02:01
sistpotyhowever I agree, right now revu is really a good option to do collaborative maintenance02:01
sistpotya killer feature would be to just say "build this in a ppa" button, and let revu add a link to build log and download buttons02:02
sistpotyScottK: lubuntu seems promising, but I must admit, that I'd like to see it covered by -mobile actually (I have no idea what -mobile needs in this regard)02:04
sistpotyScottK: so I'm basically happy if ogra is happy with it (or lool) :)02:04
ScottKsistpoty: I see mobile as a Canonical effort and Lubuntu seems (at least significantly) community driven.  I don't think Ubuntu Mobile should get a veto on this (also it's from an approved spec from UDS, so I think that decision is made)02:05
sistpotycrap, it was StevenK who's delegate for -mobile nowadays (just to highlight even more people *g*)02:05
sistpotyScottK: I must admit that I rather consider -mobile to get it shaped and help with working out processes (ogra did offer good guidance so far)... so I don't that there'll be a veto02:08
ScottKI think sooner is better than later.02:09
sistpotyScottK: you mean to get it in/approved?02:09
ScottKYes02:09
sistpotyScottK: sure thing, I actually only ignored it so far, since I believed to be already approved *g*02:10
ScottKI think we've waited enough02:10
sistpotyScottK: looking at the lengthy ffe, did I get it right that you already gave a +1 and I can grant the ffe?02:16
ScottKsistpoty: Yes.02:16
ScottKPackage is on REVU too.02:16
sistpotyScottK: ah, thanks!02:16
sistpoty(comment added)02:18
ScottKbddebian: What do you think about an NMU for http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/searchandrescue.html so it can get back in Testing?02:20

sistpotyScottK: what are the supported python versions atm? (looking at bug #424770, which only supports 2.5 as per debian's changelog)02:52
ubottuLaunchpad bug 424770 in bpython "[FFe] Sync bpython 0.9.4-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42477002:52
ScottKsistpoty: For us 2.6 is default and 2.5 is supported.02:52
sistpotyScottK: so it wouldn't be a blocker to restrict it to 2.5?02:53
ScottKsistpoty: It's not a regression from where it is now, I guess.02:53
sistpotyah, thanks!02:53
ScottKSo I don't know that it's a blocker.02:53
ScottKI'm reluctant to expend a lot of effort on 2.5 only stuff.02:54
sistpotyheh02:54
p3rrorhello how to sync a package into ubuntu from debian ?03:01
ScottKp3rror: What do you want to sync and why?03:01
p3rrorwell i was looking for a sponsor of a package for ubuntu, and it was listed in debian new packages03:02
ScottKWhat package?03:03
p3rrorhttp://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/python-ipcalc03:03
ScottKSo it's just gotten into Debian.03:04
ScottKWe are past the point in this release cycle where we are accepting new packages.  At the start of the next development cycle, it will automatically get synced from Debian.  There isn't anything you need to do.03:04
p3rrorI see03:06
p3rrorthanks ScottK03:07
ScottKYou're welcome.03:07
ScottKDid Debian switch to gcc 4.4 in Sid?03:08
sistpotyScottK: not yet, at least for my last dist-upgrade since two days ago03:13
ScottKYep.  Just checked.03:14

LLStarksriddle me this.07:18
LLStarkswhy do flashplugin-installer and adobe-flashplugin exist?07:18
dtchenthe former is available for both i386 and amd64; the latter is only available for i38607:19
dtchenflashplugin-installer provides an upgrade path (of sorts) for people using the older flashplugin-nonfree on either i386 or amd6407:20
LLStarkswhy is adobe-flashplugin in karmic older than the one in jaunty?07:20
dtchenmore to the point, the latter exists in the partner repository and is Adobe-blessed07:20
dtchenthe former is community-maintained (and not Adobe-blessed)07:21
dtchenalso, the former will pull in nspluginwrapper07:21
LLStarks"also, the former will pull in nspluginwrapper" bull07:21
LLStarksonly on x64 may that be true, if at all07:22
dtchenDepends: nspluginwrapper (>= 0.9.91.4-2ubuntu1) [amd64],07:22
LLStarksanyway, thanks for the clarifcation07:24
dtchenthe outdated version in karmic is likely due to it not being copied/uploaded, it being karmic and all.07:25
dtchenit ultimately doesn't matter, since debian/postinst uses http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/07:26
dtchen(that's debian/postinst for flashplugin-installer, of course)07:26
loolScottK: lubuntu > absolutely agreed with you08:45
loolScottK: If LXDE folks are stuck or need help or dont know how to do specific things (e.g. seeds or cdimages) we're happy to help them there, but we dont want to shape LUbuntu entirely08:46

ojwbdebian has a security fix for xapian-omega which ubuntu doesn't: http://www.debian.org/security/2009/dsa-188212:51
ojwbis it preferred to just patch the fix, or sync the package from debian?  the one in debian doesn't have new features compared to the current karmic one12:52
gesersync to karmic and patch for release ubuntu versions12:53
ojwbok, i'll file a ticket in launchpad12:54
ojwboh, hmm12:54
ojwbthe current debian one depends on a newer xapian-core, which is in main12:54
ojwblooks like that could be synced too - i'll file tickets and see - thanks geser13:06

debfxhow do I patch files that have mixed line endings (CRLF, LF)?13:15
debfxI can generate a diff using --ignore-all-space but patch won't apply it13:17
c_korndebfx: you can use fromdos/todos from the frotodos package to convert the line endings13:19
debfxc_korn: do I have to backup the file and restore it in the clean target?13:33
c_korndebfx: you can just do that in the patch. maybe I did not understand your problem correctly.13:34
debfxc_korn: you are suggesting to convert the line endings of the target file before patching it?13:41
c_korndebfx: eh, no. in the patch. I thought the line endings would cause trouble.13:42
c_kornso in case of the quilt build system.13:42
c_kornquilt new line_endings.patch13:42
c_kornquilt add file.bla13:42
c_kornfromdos file.bla13:42
c_kornquilt refresh13:42
debfxc_korn: I don't want to change the line endings. when I edit the file, the text editor saves the file with consitent line endings, so the diff gets huge13:51
debfxs/consitent/consistent/13:51
debfxpatch should have an option to ignore the line ending type, but it doesn't13:55
c_korndebfx: hm, so you just need another editor which does not auto-convert them. maybe nano does not do that.13:57
debfxc_korn: nano auto-converts but vi doesn't, I think14:03

RotundIs it too late to package a new program to make it in for Karmic?18:18
geseryes18:20
RotundJust looked at their page and they actually offer debs, so I'm not totally in the dark on it.18:21
sebnerRotund: upstream debs are usually in a very bad state though ;)18:21
Rotundsebner, better than if I'd checkinstall it ;)18:22
sebnergeser: with sync requests/uploads I fixed ~10 FTBFS starting yesterday evening :D18:22
sebnerRotund: such packages won't enter the archive anyways ;)18:22
gesersebner: nice18:22
sebnergeser: and now a great tip to reduce FTBFS significantly. don't do archive rebuilds :P18:23
geserbah18:23
Rotundwhat's an FTCFS?18:24
RotundBFS18:24
geserFailed To Build From Source18:24
sebnergeser: what can I do against http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31753888/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-i386.cdk_1%3A1.0.2-2build1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz ? I just uploaded a -build1 version since it built locally so I thought it was a temporary issue :\18:27
geserthis is from the main archive or the test-rebuild one?18:29
sebnergeser: both18:29
gesersebner: run "apt-cache madison libjgrapht0.6-java" and look at the component of the source and the binary package18:30
sebnergeser: multiverse for the b-d, the other thing is universe18:32
gesersebner: looking at http://packages.qa.debian.org/libj/libjgrapht-java/news/20081228T123018Z.html it should be in multiverse18:33
geserso the source is misplaced18:33
geseror at least some investigation is need if it's for universe or multiverse18:34
sebnergeser: how can this happen (source in universe, binary in multiverse) ?18:34
geseroversight when processing NEW I guess18:35
sebneryou are the last uploader btw, hihi18:35
ScottKAlso sometime stuff gets moved and then all the BD don't get moved.18:36
geserthis seems proper investigation: see Debian bug #54604018:36
ubottuDebian bug 546040 in ftp.debian.org "RM: libjgrapht-java -- NVIU; 5" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/54604018:36
geserit mentions an improved packaging as libjgrapht0.6-java (not yet in Ubuntu)18:36
sebnergeser: would it need a FFe?18:38
ScottKsebner: Yes.  Is it in Debian?18:38
geserScottK: yes, it's in Debian18:39
geserScottK: does a new packaging of the same upstream version need a FFe?18:39
ScottKI think sync of a missing BD is a good idea, but does need FFe.18:39
ScottKOh18:39
* ScottK didn't follow all the context.18:39
ScottKIf it just needs binary new and it's repackaging, I think that's OK.18:40
geserScottK: the situation is as following: we have libjgrapht-java with source in universe and binary split over universe and multiverse (in Debian the packages was uploaded to contrib)18:40
ScottKOK18:41
geserthere is the above mentions removal bug in Debian for libjgrapht-java and a seperate packaging of the same upstream version as libjgrapht0.6-jave18:41
ScottKSplit into a different source package then?18:41
sebnerScottK: source package has just been renamed18:43
gesersort of, as the API changed the new upstream version got uploaded as libjgrapht0.7-jave to experimental18:43
ScottKEven better.18:43
ScottKThen I think syncing the 0.6 one makes sense.  Are there other rdepends involved?18:43
geserand the 0.6 version packaged as libjgrapht0.6-java18:43
gesercdk, that's how it all started18:44
geserchecking for more18:44
sebnerheh18:44
ScottKCan be just change the BD on the one package to expect the old name for now?18:44
ScottKbe/we18:45
sebnerScottK: it builds locally so imho yes18:45
ScottKIf there's no other BD on the new package name, I think that's the best approach for now.18:46
ScottKIt gets everything working with the least change (if I understand the situation correctly)18:47
sebnergeser: what do you think?=18:48
sebnerScottK: so no FFe?18:48
ScottKNot for changing the BD to one that exists, no.18:49
geserand for syncing the new package (for the same upstream version we already have)? is a FFe needed18:50
geserit's a new source package after all18:50
sebnergeser: New indeed but not something like that needs to be checked if it can enter the archive since we already know it's sane somehow :\18:52
geserFF is also about no new (source) packages18:52
sebnerit's also no upstream though18:53
sebner*new upstream18:53
sebner+version18:53
sebnerxD18:53
ScottKsebner: It needs an archive admin to review it.18:53
geserit's a uncommon case18:53
ScottKyes.18:53
sebnergrrr, too strict imho but nvm18:54
ScottKsebner: The main reason to stop accepting new packages is archive admins have other stuff to do late in the cycle.  Why it's a new package affects if the FFe gets approved, but not if it should be reviewed.18:55
ScottKI still think it sounds WAY easier to just change the BD on one package.18:55
geserthe current BD is correct (and would need to be changed if we sync)18:55
geserwhat needs to be figured out if we don't sync where the current package we have belongs: universe or multiverse18:56
geserand fix this mismatch of component of the source (universe) and the binaries (universe AND multiverse)18:57
ScottKI see.18:58
sebnergeser: who is an expert with this stuff? We have to wait until tomorrow anyways to catch an archive admin18:58
ScottKClearly this is more complex than I've been following.18:58
geserI don't understand why libjgrapht-java 0.6.0-5 went to contribg (the versions before that are in main, the upload to experimental (0.7) is also in contrib), libgrapht0.6-java 0.6.0-8 is in main again19:06
sebnergeser: ?? -5 ist the old source package, -8 is already the renamed one (which is in main)19:07
sebnergeser: Why -5 went to contrib is another secret x19:08
sebnerxD19:08
geseryes -5 is the old (current in Ubuntu, requested for removal from Debian unstable), and -8 the renamed source package (not in Ubuntu, current in Debian unstable)19:08
sebnerright19:09
