[00:12] hi, could someone from motu-release take a quick look at bug 432169 and let me know if they think i'm ok to go ahead and upload (when I've finished packaging it), or whether I will need to do a FF exception request for it instead? [00:12] Launchpad bug 432169 in libgda4 "Please update to 4.0.4" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/432169 [00:14] chrisccoulson: did you see that it's in debian [00:14] ? [00:15] Laney - i didn't, but i do now ;) [00:16] always handy! [00:16] pah, debian have renamed all of the binary packages [00:16] they're different to ours now [00:16] boo [00:17] it might be best just to update for now and then re-sync with debian next cycle [00:17] saying that, it doesn't have many rdepends [00:33] i suppose if I'm going to do a MIR for libgda4, i should probably rebase it with Debian before that actually [01:30] hello, i'm working on a translation for a program with PoEdit. but the language i'm translating into is RTL so i wanted to test some lines before i continue. is there a way to do that? [01:38] hello, i'm working on a translation for a program with PoEdit. but the language i'm translating into is RTL so i wanted to test some lines before i continue. is there a way to do that? [07:09] good morning === sivang_ is now known as sivang [07:47] ScottK: You had mentioned that using xvfb when building java-gnome will not work on sparc. Is there any particular reason for that? === nicolasvw is now known as nicolas === nicolas is now known as nicolasvw === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson === quadrispro1 is now known as quadrispro === asac_ is now known as asac [10:08] james_w is doing reviews in #ubuntu-reviews [10:16] dholbach: I forgot to tell you think sometime back. I tried merging ttf-indic-fonts but was not successful. I don't have mush knowledge about fonts and hints and wasn't sure which files should go in which package. [10:18] slytherin: best to ask ArneGoetje [10:19] I merely gave it a quick review because I was sponsoring [10:19] Arne worked on some splitting of the package [10:20] hmm [11:32] Hi, I'm after some information to update an existing package. It is "libclanlib", maintainer "Ubuntu MOTU Developers". [11:32] It is using a very old version (0.8), that migrated into 1.0 - That is now unsupported by the clanlib developers. [11:32] Now ClanLib 2.0.4 has been released ( http://clanlib.org/examples.html ) - I need to find who (if any) are maintaining the clanlib package [11:32] (Note, ClanLib 2.0.0 is not compatible with ClanLib 1.0.0 - And should be treated as a seperate package) [11:35] rombust: the last uploader of that package is not on IRC currently [11:35] https://launchpad.net/~andreserl [11:37] rombust: you could talk to the Debian/Ubuntu games team as they maintain it [11:39] james_w: Thanks [11:45] james_w: If you are not too busy can you please review java-gnome in NEW queue and approve it. The package is in queue because of a new -doc binary package. [11:49] slytherin: give me a minute and I'll take a look [11:49] thanks [13:21] hi all [13:21] does anybody know why /dev/log is no more available in karmic? [13:43] slytherin: It (xvfb) is broken on sparc. It either sefaults or fails to start. [13:43] ScottK: Ok.

[14:55] walterl: personally I'm using mini-dinstall to have a local repo and am pointing my sources list of the pbuilder chroot to that as an additional entry [14:56] walterl: but if it's only one package, you could simply --login --save-after-login and install the package just inside the chroot [14:56] sistpoty|work: as in `sudo pbuilder --login --save-after-login`? [14:57] walterl: yes... (this will also print you where the chroot is exctracted, in case you want to copy files from/to it) [14:57] sistpoty|work: great, thanks! [14:57] np [15:00] hi bddebian [15:01] huhu bddebian :) [15:02] Heya sistpoty|work, sebner [15:25] hello can any body help me how to make at command execute using bash shell instead of sh shell [15:40] jagadish: you can pass SHELL=/bin/bash to the make command [15:40] where in the shell script [15:41] done mind iam new to shell script [15:45] jagadish: in your rules file? when you have a shell script to only have to change the shebang [15:46] #bashcheck [15:46] SHELL=bin/bash [15:46] echo "this is bash sript" > file [15:46] #bashcheck [15:46] SHELL=bin/bash [15:46] sebner: do you know the -v argument for debuild? :) [15:46] echo "this is bash sript" > file [15:47] no i dont know can u help me [15:47] dholbach: heh, sure. I'll tell my laziness :\ [15:51] jagadish: I don't really know what you want :\ does it has something todo with -motu?

[15:54] zul: if you subscribe to it, and tell the sponsor, I guess it should be fine [15:54] dholbach: k thanks! [15:54] jagadish: your shellscript just has to use #!/bin/bash as shebang [15:56] ya i did it like that only but when i sechduled using at utility command it gives me a waring it is going to execute in /bin/sh [15:56] and prints my scheduled time [16:03] Hello :) how can I help on Developing ubuntu? I have not so much c++ experience ... so are there any tiny things I can do? I got a lot of freetime today :) [16:03] wubbbi: be sure to check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted and take it from there [16:04] all the important documentation is linked to there [16:05] sistpoty|work: I'd appreciate it if you'd look at the matplotlib FFe. I think we want it and it's ready. [16:05] dholbach: Do you have this side in german too? this would be very helpfull! [16:06] ScottK: *looking* [16:06] THanks. [16:06] wubbbi: I'm afraid not... we're thinking about translating the packaging guide, but that's not done yet [16:06] wubbbi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Videos has some (English videos), if you prefer that [16:06] but sitll it's English [16:07] ok ... I'll try my best. But in english it it harder to understand for me ^^ [16:08] dholbach, what's the process to apply to u-u-s? [16:09] RoAkSoAx: just tell any of the admins to add you to the team [16:09] I'm not [16:09] but persia and TheMuso are [16:09] and I guess somebody else too :) [16:10] dholbach, cool thanks :) [16:12] RoAkSoAx: congrats on MOTUism [16:13] aloha mok0 :) [16:13] yo, sebner! [16:13] mok0, thank you :) [16:13] mok0: everything fine? =) [16:13] Uhm, yes [16:14] sebner: sunny outside, friday afternoon.... what more can you wish for? [16:14] mok0: heh, I still have holidays so I don't really care :P [16:15] sebner: out of the grasp of the army? [16:15] mok0: yeah, already 2 months ago :) starting with university in 2 weeks [16:15] sebner: good for you! [16:15] mok0: thx, we'll see ^^ [16:16] sebner: what subject? [16:16] mok0: computer science ... surprise, surprise ... what a surprise ^^ [16:16] sebner: ah, another one :-) [16:16] mok0: more exactly Software and Information Engineering [16:16] It's more of an art than a science, but whatever ... [16:17] ScottK: haha! xD [16:17] sebner: how do you "engineer" information? Is that legal? :-P [16:17] mok0: pssst, nobody needs to know :P [16:17] "I'm in the information engineering business" [16:17] heh [16:18] Just one of these crafty buzzword type of things designed to lure students into the fold [16:18] ;-) [16:18] "nano-technology" is the big buzzword thing at my faculty [16:19] mok0: hmm, no worries. I can chance next year to computer engineering [16:19] *change [16:19] sebner: nice [16:20] Dunno much about computer science; I do know there's a split between engineering type and the more academic type [16:20] mok0: and if everything is too difficult for me I'll choose media informatics *g* [16:20] nhandler: seen LP 404272 [16:20] Launchpad bug 404272 in dh-make-perl "FTBFS: tests failed" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/404272 [16:20] :-) lol [16:21] mterry: I think you should subscribe motu-release to this bug ^ [16:21] mterry: erm, no, sorry [16:23] mok0: btw, guess what just happened. The whole days I worked hard to fill ubuntu-archive with sync requests and I really got >50% rate of sync requests and then a overmotivated archive-admin destroyed everything and now I have 0 *g* [16:23] ScottK: matplotlib confirmed [16:23] sistpoty|work: Thanks [16:24] sebner: yydrk, destroyed, how? [16:24] mok0: aka processed the syncs xD [16:24] sebner: these were FFE's? [16:25] mok0: nope, FTBFS fixes for latest archive rebuild [16:25] sebner: wicked [16:25] mok0: yeah, 15! [16:25] sebner: did you note down which ones they were? [16:26] * mok0 never trusts a computer, always has a notebook [16:26] mok0: I personally know the names but as the rebuild status site doesn't have a comment field ... [16:27] sebner: sigh === micahg1 is now known as micahg [17:12] am I being stupid? This python package doesn't call setup.py install before dh_install [17:12] I thought that it would [17:19] ScottK, any ideas on the nginx backport issue? [17:19] RoAkSoAx: I didn't get a chance to look at in in detail yet. Probably tonight or tomorrow. [17:19] ScottK, ok cool, thanks :) [17:22] wha? [17:23] cdbs runs setup.py install after arch: all debs have been built but before arch: any debs are built? [17:28] beta freeze will be on sept 24. That's the deadline for ubuntu universe package changes ? [17:29] leonel: It depends on the kind of changes. We'll keep fixing stuff up past the RC freeze. [17:31] ScottK: last release you had some ideas about making universe upload freezes better around release time [17:32] are we going to change them to match this time? [17:33] ScottK Long time no see , Debian unstable has cherokee 0.99.22 and karmic has 0.99.19 I've pushed 0.99.24 to Debian unstable and is on queue for inclusion, so the last date is sept 24 for cherokee 0.99.24 ?? [17:34] leonel: Yes. Is it bug fixes or new features too? [17:35] james_w: I did. We froze way before we needed to due to security in soyuz. [17:35] Scottk both, cherokee is a fast moving target, and getting ready for version 1.0 [17:35] leonel: Then you'll need to ask for a feature freeze exception and we'll review it. [17:36] james_w: It looks like mirror sync before release is the driver for when the last upload for Universe can happen now. I need to bring this up at a release team meeting. Thanks for reminding me. [17:36] ScottK ok [17:37] ScottK: great, thanks for trying to improve this [17:37] Can someone help me figure out why my quilt-generated patch isn't applying when building the deb? [17:38] lamalex: Is it listed in debian/patches/series? [17:38] it's failing to find the appropriate level, shouldn't that be automagic with quilt? [17:38] ScottK: yeah, it's attempting to apply and failing [17:38] You have to specify the first time you import it, IIRC, but I'm not a quilt expert. [17:41] you can also specify it in the series file [17:42] I'm pretty sure it's not automagix [17:43] hm. ive got no idea how to figure out what level it should apply at [17:50] how can I start contributing to ubuntu developmenet [17:56] ah, got it [17:57] original maintainer had apparently copied and pasted their rules file and had a rule for a patch system they weren't using! [18:07] ScottK Just checked with main debian maintainer for cherokee and we need to do some repackaging before 0.99.24 gets into unstable so the current version in Debian Unstable is 99.22 and karmic has 0.99.19 can a merge be done ? [18:07] If it has new features, you still need to do the FFe, but probably. [18:08] ok thanks [18:14] tarundeep: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted [18:15] thanks [18:34] I am following the instructions on following page - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/PackageUpdate but while doing debuild -S -sa I get following error - Now signing changes and any dsc files... [18:34] signfile brasero_0.6.1-ubuntu4.dsc MY NAME gpg: skipped "MY NAME": secret key not available - although I can see keys in GNU Privacy Assistant [18:38] If you're not really going to upload the package, you can build it with debuild -S -uc -us [18:38] i.e. without signing it [18:38] ok if i want to upload the package than how to sign it ? [18:38] I have sendet my gnupg key 10000 times to the key server. But I still cant use it on launchpad -.- [18:39] gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys .... is this wrong? [18:39] wubbbi: I am also facing same problem, I have also uploaded key to keyserver but it is not visible [18:39] is the keyserver broken atm? [18:47] is your key visible on other keyservers? [18:47] as the keyservers exchange the keys you can choose the keyserver you want for uploading your key [18:49] ok I will try that thanks [18:50] geser: you're lucky that I can upload myself. 15 sync requests and ~5 uploads to fix FTBFS \o/ [18:51] nice [18:54] geser: for a short period of time I was responsible for >50% of the sync requests for ubuntu-archive :P [19:29] What is going on with the ubuntu keyserver? oO [19:42] ok ... I have done the tutorial for ubuntu development. Now. What can I do? [19:44] wubbbi: I think there is a session on fixing build failures in #ubuntu-classroom in ~15 minutes. Join that and see what you find to do. [19:44] * ScottK hopes he got the time right. [19:44] ScottK: ok thank you [19:51] ScottK: yep 19 UTC [19:57] sistpoty: good timing ^^ [19:57] sebner: heh, yes... just finished eating and getting my system back up :) [19:58] heh :) [20:06] FTBFS session starting now in #ubuntu-classroom [20:13] hi andv [20:45] Anyone got Ubuntu One working on Debian? [21:41] Running pbuilder --create puts a file in /var/cache/pbuilder/base.tgz - but running pbuilder-dist karmic build looks for the tgz in ~/pbuilder/karmic-base.tgz [21:41] Have I done something wrong? [21:41] I'm trying to setup an install with debootstrap, but run into issues when chrooting into the new system to install more packages... for instance, at fails to install because it can't start the daemon ( of course it can't, it's already running on the real system and should not try to start again inside the chroot ), am I doing something wrong? [21:47] funkyHat: pbuilder itself supports only one pbuilder, pbuilder-dist is a wrapper around pbuilder to support several pbuilders (e.g. different Ubuntu releases) [21:47] geser: oh, so I should be using pbuilder-dist when creating as well? [21:48] so either create one with pbuilder-dist karmic create (or move your existing base.tgz to the by pbuilder-dist expected location) [21:48] Ok :) [21:48] Thanks [21:48] Yeah, I did that and it worked [21:55] i don't have pbuilder-dist [21:55] i have a custom pbuilderrc which uses environment vars to allow multiple builders [21:58] sistpoty: a ...+dsfg-1 upload doesn't need a FFe if it's for the same upstream version, right? [21:59] geser: I consider stripping non-free sources a bugfix, so if that's the only change, no FFe needed [22:01] sistpoty: the other changes are packaging changes: http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pdftk/news/20090918T120217Z.html [22:01] it's to fix bug 384515 [22:01] Launchpad bug 384515 in pdftk "pdftk - Files - Sun confidential code" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/384515 [22:04] geser: it's not really over my threshold for a FFe... [22:05] geser: though the "doesn't work" thingy you wrote in the bug report should be fixed :O [22:05] sistpoty: the current version in karmic works, but contains those problematic source files [22:05] my attempt to fix it didn't work [22:06] now there is a version in debian that fixes it and works :) [22:06] geser: ah, excellent [22:06] geser: just quote me in the sync request that no FFe is needed [22:07] sistpoty: I'm always wondering if anyone have/will fake such a quote *hrhr* [22:11] sebner: I'm reading -changes and sometimes look at sync request to ensure it's all ok :P [22:11] sistpoty: sometimes :P [22:11] hehe [22:27] sebner: now you are being watched by sistpoty to not to try it :) [22:28] geser: hehe, don't worry I usually request a FFe for stuff (games!) sistpoty ACKes volunteering with pleasure :P [22:29] * sistpoty always checks if critical changes to games still work... that's a tough job *g* [22:30] We spent hours and hours of our freetime to check carefully if really __everything__ is OKAY! *hrhr* [22:30] *spend even [22:32] help needed, my karmic box is upgrading. and has asked this question [22:32] Setting up cups-pdf (2.5.0-8) ...

[22:36] rowinggolfer_: can you ask tkamppeter (in #ubuntu-devel) about that? afaict the reason for this might be the ppd auto-update feature, so the fix should be known... (and eventually already be uploaded to proper, but tkamppeter knows for sure) [22:36] sistpoty, thanks. will do [22:40] sistpoty, ta.. they sorted me out. [22:43] hello, I am trying to fix gambas2. it FTBFS because of the const char* to char* conversion thing. it fails in line 5 here. http://pastebin.com/d3445f605 currently I do not find another solution than just doing a cast there. [22:47] c_korn: you could copy the string (strcpy) perform the substituion there, and use the copy to lookup the result [22:47] c_korn: but you'd need to make sure to free the copied string then again [22:48] c_korn: need an example? [22:50] eh, would be better. I did not code in C for years. [22:51] c_korn: I'll do it right in pastebin, so I hope that it will compile ;) [22:51] fine [22:53] c_korn: http://pastebin.com/m3ad8b33e [22:54] hi [22:54] c_korn: eventually you'll need to #include (or for c++) for the assertion [22:54] hi adorilson_ [22:54] can i report packages bug on ubuntu 9.04? [22:55] ( sorry, my english. english is not my native language ) [22:55] adorilson_: ideally with ubuntu-bug on a shell ;) [22:55] the zend-framework package is bugged [22:57] sistpoty, it's nice. i don't knowed [22:58] funkyHat: libofa uploaded, thanks! [22:58] adorilson_: you're welcome [22:58] yay :) [22:58] (sorry, was distracted so I didn't get around to uploading it earlier) [22:59] sistpoty: that's fine, geser helped me correct an error I had with my initial patch anyway :) [22:59] :) [23:00] sistpoty: ah, so the call to strchr() with the char* as argument executes the implementation which also returns a char* ? and this can then be modified. [23:03] what happens if the assertion fails ? does the app crash ? or just output an error to &2 ? [23:04] (well if s is NULL the app will propably crash anyway) [23:05] c_korn: strchr() points to the first occurance of the second argument in the string (1st argument) and returns a pointer to it. if it a r/w variable (char *) you get a pointer which can also be modified, if you used it on a read-only variable (const char *) you get a pointer which is also const char * [23:05] c_korn - strchr returns a pointer to the first occurrence of the character you specify. so, if you pass a const char*, then the returned pointer will also be a const char* [23:05] heh, what geser said ;) [23:05] heh, thanks geser and chrisccoulson [23:06] c_korn: it will abort() so it will crash, but that happens only if there's no memory left (which is pretty fatal anyways) [23:06] c_korn: it will crash, but if strcpy() fails you are doomed anyway [23:06] heh [23:07] :) thanks [23:08] sistpoty, what command list the archives is in a package? [23:09] adorilson_: I'm sorry, I don't quite understand... do you mean if it is in main or in universe? [23:09] adorilson_: or do you mean the contents of the package? [23:09] apt-cache madison $pkg is what I use [23:09] I mean the contents of the package [23:09] adorilson_: dpkg -L [23:10] or apt-file list if it is not installed [23:10] if it's installed, if you have a deb then "less", else packages.ubuntu.com [23:15] hm, main.cpp:1023: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘Dataset*’ [23:17] sistpoty: line 15 of your paste fails with this error http://pastebin.com/m3ad8b33e [23:17] sistpoty, dpkg -L is work. thanks [23:17] np [23:18] hm, yes. ret should be of type int [23:19] c_korn: sorry, yes, you're correct...
