DarxusIs this an appropriate place to ask for help on azureus from karmic giving me an error on "debuild -S" of: "You must specify a valid JAVA_HOME or JAVACMD!"?  Google hasn't helped.00:11
tormodDarxus, try #ubuntu-motu (did you install all build-deps?)00:22
DarxusI tried #ubuntu-motu first.  They took 7 minutes to respond.  And it looks like the answer here was better.00:27
cjwatsonseven minutes is a quick answer on IRC00:28
DarxusWow, you typed out "seven".  And didn't capitalize it.  Weird.00:30
slangasekyes, that also happens on IRC00:31

glickhey does anyone here use SCONS or MPC as a build system?06:56
glickand which one is better/easier06:56
dholbachrobert_ancell: could you hop into #ubuntu-reviews ?06:59
TheMusoglick: Never used mpc, but I've had to deal with projects usinc scons, and I would personally stay away from scons at all costs.07:09
pittiGood morning07:16
glickwhy TheMuso it looks pretty decent from reading about it on the website07:41
glickwhats so horrible about it07:41
TheMusoglick: For one, scons has caused issues when package have been building on the Ubuntu  ubild servers for Ubuntu. Then there is the difficulty in passing CFLAGS etc to a project when the SConstruct files haven't been written properly.07:50
TheMusoglick: Granted autoconf is the same, but I have had too many bad experiences to recommend it to anyone. I also know that other devs around here stear well clear of it.07:51
glickcan you recommend anything else? i have a project that needs to compile on windows, linux/unix, and vxworks, and integrity07:52
glickmaintaining 5 build files is a nightmare, and MPC the current system is a pain07:52

TheMusoglick: I know that people manage to use autoconf/automake on windows using cygwin/mingw, but I am not sure how much more work that is.

wrapsterIm a newbie to packaging08:20

pittiwrapster: perhaps sudo apt-get build-dep <srcpackage> ?08:20
wrapsterpitti: ive described everything here http://pastie.org/62561408:24
dholbachsudo apt-get build-dep gcc-4.4 (or gcc-4.3 if you want to modify that one) will be a good start08:26
dholbachyou need gcc to compile gcc, there's no way around that08:26

nubae|workhi there... I work for Guadalinex-edu, and we are looking for a way to add the exit (logout options) button to the top panel via gconf... but cannot seem to find that option anywhere... can someone guide me as to where/how to do that (has to be done on a large scale, so can't do it via right click, etc)?09:09
loolpitti: Around?09:11
loolpitti: I'd like to discuss apport's hookutils with you09:11
loolpitti: I'd like to use the attach_gconf() utility for various packages but the settings are overwritten by each run since the section has a static name09:12
loolpitti: Would it be possible to use a dict in report['GConfNonDefault'] instead of a string?09:12
loolOtherwise I'm thinking of passing the section name as argument (name = 'GConfNonDefault') by default but can be overriden, or of moving the section around in the caller09:13
pittihi09:13
pittilool: the latter will work09:13
pittilool: dictionaries as values aren't supported right now09:13
loolpitti: What about passing the name of the section as argument?09:14
pittithat would require writing marshalling and unmarshalling for the various file formats (RFC822, multipart-mime)09:14
pittilool: right, that would be fine09:14
lool(Ok wasn't sure which "latter" you meant)09:14
loolpitti: Ok; another option is to always append to report['GConfNonDefault'] if it exists09:15
=== asac_ is now known as asac
loolpitti: I can do any of these two (variable section or always appending)09:15
pittilool: that sounds fine as well09:15
loolpitti: Ok I have a preference for always appending because in desktop-switcher I'd like to call other packages' hooks09:15
pittiseb128: ^ what would you prefer in bug reports?09:15
loolAnd I dont want to rename GConfNonDefault in each package09:15
* ccheney can't sleep :-\09:15
pittiseb128: GconfNonDefaults having all changed settings from all packages in one field?09:16
* ccheney so he is working instead, heh09:16
* pitti counts sheep for ccheney09:16
pittiseb128: or separate fields per package?09:16
seb128pitti, I think I missed part of the discussion to understand the question09:16
loolpitti: I dont think it touches any package right now though09:16
seb128oh, apport09:16
seb128I was thinking gconf schemas09:16
loolseb128: So if apports utility to collect gconf non-default settings is called on two different packages, the last one wins; the question is whether you'd like the various settings to go in different sections or can they be aggregated in the same setting09:17
seb128I've no strong opinion either way, whatever is the easiest09:18
seb128as far as the datas are there09:18
seb128as long as09:18

loolsebner: Ok thanks09:20
loolerr sorry sebner09:20

seb128pitti, yeah, so no strong opinion there for the gconf dump as long as we have the datas09:24
seb128I think it's a corner case anyway09:24

pittilool: for example, ekiga stores passwords unencrypted in gconf11:07

james_was I understand it the DMB and the MC are likely to merge under archive-reorg16:04
james_wmaco: developer membership board16:04
macoah16:04
james_wthe TB is splitting off their developer approval role from their technical oversight role16:04
james_wmuch as the CC did16:04
LaserJockjames_w: ah, OK, I wondered with the reorg what the difference would be, makes sense that they'd merge16:05
james_wI don't think it's decided, but to many people I believe it is the logical step16:05
pitticjwatson, dholbach, james_w: also, DMB would only approve "core" developers and other generalists (what MOTU are today), but many contributors will probably just stay in one particular team like mythbuntu, right?16:06
pittiIOW, the number of applicants should actually go down?16:06
james_wthat's my understanding16:06
pittifor DMB?16:06
james_wwell, the absolute number might go up :-)16:07
LaserJockis "core" developer defined under the new scheme?16:07
macojames_w: and that might be a good thing16:07
LaserJockmy understanding was more along the lines of Core Dev getting split up into team upload rights and MOTU largely becoming generalists16:07
macoi thought there could be per-package-uploaders that werent also motu in the new thing.  but then, im rather confused by the archive reorg stuff16:08
cjwatsonLaserJock: generalist is just a new word (which personally I don't like) for core-dev16:08
cjwatson(I can't see people going around proudly wearing a badge saying "Ubuntu Generalist Developer")16:09
cjwatson(well, not sure I can see that for core either, but it seems a bit more likely :-) )16:09
macohaha16:09
LaserJockyes16:09
LaserJockso then MOTU either get "promoted" or get upload-access through a specific team?16:10
macocjwatson: i think a core dev badge would just make random people off the street yelling at you about their pet bug more likely :P16:10
highvoltagehi LaserJock16:10
cjwatsonLaserJock: something like that, over time, yes16:10
cjwatsonLaserJock: we've started mail conversations with all current MOTU already16:10
cjwatsonthough need to do a bit more with the results :)16:11
LaserJockright16:11
LaserJockalthough not a lot has been said to Core Devs16:11
LaserJockpresumably the status doesn't change much16:11
LaserJockalthough our available set of packages we have upload access gets smaller?16:12
* LaserJock never remembers if "generalist" access is lower or higher "priority" than team access16:13

sorenI thought we could sync from anywhere.16:15
pittiI'd just upload it16:15
geserLaserJock: the current core-dev keep upload right to everything (modulo the restricted set), some MOTU get "promoted" to generalist, which give them the same upload rights as core-dev, team upload rights are completely new16:15

sorenpitti:  Thanks.16:15
pittisoren: copy-package.py might be able to do it, didn't check16:15

cjwatsonor possibly unless KMS was brought up first16:16

LaserJockcjwatson: right, that's what I was getting at16:17
cjwatsonLaserJock: while we've talked about "restricted sets", I expect their use to be very limited16:18
LaserJockI was wondering if generalists were going to be sort of in-between where they uploaded to everything *but* seeded packages16:18
cjwatsonLaserJock: there's a restricted set for language packs, on the grounds that if you upload them then your upload will get automatically overwritten later anyway, and this has always been the case16:18
Laneyis the switch on this going to be thrown soonish?16:18
cjwatsonpeople talk about making the kernel and libc restricted, but personally I don't see the need16:18
cjwatsonLaserJock: #define generalist ubuntu-core-dev16:18
cjwatsonLaney: it actually sort of has been and nobody noticed ;-)16:19
Laneyheh16:19
cjwatsonLaney: Launchpad now has package set data and can grant upload access to packages in those sets16:19
LaneyI mean the dissolving of universe16:20
cjwatsonLaney: we're gradually talking about the basics like getting ~ubuntu-desktop upload rights to the desktop set, which is mostly a process thing16:20
cjwatsonLaney: changing the component structure of the archive is still some way off16:20
cjwatsonand there are still some design things to solve there16:20

sorenmdz: The command line to build the image doesn't naturally fit into a "packagename version" sort of format :)16:32
cjwatsonwrapster: you'll have to look at what is laughingly referred to as CDBS's documentation16:32
sorenmdz: I'll work something out..16:32
sorenHahah!16:32
cjwatsonwrapster: there's some stuff in /usr/share/doc/cdbs/16:32
mdzcjwatson, soren is looking for a sensible way to record which version of vmbuilder was used to create each UEC image16:33
cjwatsonwrapster: you should familiarise yourself with debhelper first ('man debhelper', and chase references), since in many cases changes can be made by editing debhelper files16:33
wrapstercjwatson: ok.. but i dont have cdbs under the dir you specified16:34
gesersebner: start with the bad news16:34
sorenWell... Not just the VMBuilder version. That's reasonably easy (although slightly misleading if put in the manifest next to everything else), but more the command line used to build the image.16:34
cjwatsonwrapster: how do you normally install packages? :-)16:34
sebnergeser: ok, the bad news are now strange news xD16:34
wrapsterdpkg -i <pkg>16:34
cjwatsonwrapster: consider installing cdbs ... ;-)16:34
cjwatsonwrapster: that would normally be a prerequisite for reading its documentation16:34
wrapsterok16:35
james_wsoren: just "# vmbuilder ..." ?16:35
cjwatsonsoren: how parseable does it need to be?16:35
sorencjwatson: You tell me.16:35
cjwatsonsoren: could you just spit it out in the log, and save that somewhere?16:35
gesersebner: then start with the strange news before they change again16:35
sorencjwatson: I've never really used these manifests for much.16:35
cjwatsonsoren: *shrug* *I* won't be using it16:35
cjwatsonwhat manifests are these?16:35
cjwatson(url)16:35
sebnergeser: synced new package, removed old one. Replace b-d and cdk FTBFS. Then I used libjgraph0.6-java-link as b-d and this works now. And it also pulls in libjgraph-java but version 5.12.2.1.dfsg-1 , seems to be a different package xD16:36
sorencjwatson: http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/karmic/20090922/ubuntu-uec-karmic-i386.manifest [+]16:36
soren-[+]16:36
cjwatsonso that's a derivative of the live filesystem manifest16:36
cjwatsonwhich is automatically parsed in a way that may or may not handle comments, I don't remember16:37
cjwatsonalthough the UEC one is not automatically parsed, it's purely informational16:37
cjwatsonif it's useful to put comments in the manifest, I don't see a reason not to16:37
cjwatsonah yes, the only code that parses manifests (ubiquity) handles comments, so *shrug*16:37
sorenautomatically parsed by what?16:38
gesersebner: you didn't miss the 't'? there is libgraph-java and libjgraph*t*-java16:38
sorenOh, ubiquity.16:38
cjwatsonyeah, not that it parses UEC manifests, as I say16:38
sorenRight, right.16:38
sorenObviously :)16:38
sebnergeser: ah, just noticed! xD I'm sorry. But anyways. Replace libjgrapht-java with libjgrapht0.6-java didn't work. I had to use the -link package (which pulls in 0.6-java also)16:39
cjwatsonbut if you're borrowing its format anyway ...16:39
sorencjwatson: Alright, I'll use a comment. That makes sense.16:39
cjwatsonthe only real alternative would be to put it in a file inside the image somehow16:39
cjwatsonthat sounds harder to inspect though16:39
gesersebner: and what are the good news then?16:39
sorenIt's already there, actually.16:39
sorenI put the build log inside the images.16:40
sorenWell, as much as I can, since part of the magic happens after the filesystem is finalised, but still.16:40
sebnergeser: New package sycned over and old one finally removed ^^16:40
sebnergeser: I'm sorry, this all sounds a little bit stupid xD , As I said cdk built locally but I uploaded to my PPA (start time 1 hour :( ) to be really sure the problem is solved now16:45

mdzsmoser, what's the EC2_URL used for EC2 itself (with euca2ools)?17:00
smoserEC2_URL=https://ec2.amazonaws.com17:01
smoserthe environment you have to set for amazon use is:17:02
smoserEC2_SECRET_KEY=${aws_secret_key} EC2_ACCESS_KEY=${aws_access_key} EC2_URL=https://ec2.amazonaws.com17:02
mdzsmoser, thanks17:02
smoserone thingto note, i could be under-informed on this, is that euca2ools require exporting your aws access key and aws secret key17:03
mdzsmoser, I think I have everything set up correctly now, but euca-describe-instances is hanging for a long time17:03
smoserthe ec2 tools require exporting a path to certificate file and path to private key.17:03
mdzsmoser, yes, I noticed that, but I don't understand why17:03
mdzsmoser, could you ask nurmi_ to join here so we can discuss?17:03
smoserjust did17:04
smoserthere is nurmi_ .17:06
smoserabove, i had said17:06
smoserthe environment you have to set for amazon use is: EC2_SECRET_KEY=${aws_secret_key} EC2_ACCESS_KEY=${aws_access_key} EC2_URL=https://ec2.amazonaws.com17:06
smoserone thingto note, i could be under-informed on this, is that euca2ools require exporting your aws access key and aws secret key17:06
smosermdz, i just verified that17:07
smoserEC2_SECRET_KEY=${aws_secret_key} EC2_ACCESS_KEY=${aws_access_key} EC2_URL=https://ec2.amazonaws.com euca-describe-instances17:07
smoseris working for me.17:07
smosernurmi_, do you know why that difference ?17:07
sorenSorry, what's the difference?17:08
smoserbetween environment for euca- versus ec2-17:08
smosereuca2ools require exporting aws access key and secret key. the ec2 tools require exporting a path to certificate file and path to private key.17:08
nurmi_smoser: the ec2 tools use the SOAP interface (x509 credentials)17:09
nurmi_smoser; the eucatools use the REST interface (secret/query key)17:09
sorenSo they're not CLI compatible?17:09
sorenPeople who've set their environment variables according to ec2-api-tools will not be able to use euca-tools without changing stuff.17:10
sorenRight?17:10
smoserso choice of rest over soap dictated the difference in credentials being needed.17:10
kirklandcjwatson: so vmbuilder doesn't really support preseeding17:10
nurmi_soren: it depends on how you use the tools17:10
sorennurmi_: How so?17:11
nurmi_soren: for example, the AMI tools from amazon use the REST stuff17:11
sorennurmi_: Ok..17:11
nurmi_soren: so, if you have your environment set up to use both EC2 API and EC2 AMI tools, then there is no change to use eucatools17:11
nurmi_if you ONLY use EC2 tools, then you environment might not be sufficient for eucatools, as we need the REST crednetials (as does AMI tools)17:11
sorenI see.17:12

kirklandcjwatson: the moodle package has a series of "critical" debconf questions in its config17:18
kirklandcjwatson: i'd like to create a PPA package that set these values to something "sane", and depend on moodle, such that it gets installed17:19
kirklandcjwatson: call it "moodle-appliance" or something17:19
kirklandcjwatson: but "depends" means that moodle would get installed first17:20
cjwatsonI would recommend against attempting to do preseeding from a package17:20
cjwatsoneveryone I've ever seen trying to do this ran up against lots of roadblocks and ended up wasting lots of time17:20
kirklandcjwatson: yes, that's where i am17:20
cjwatsonpreseeding is intended for admins and as such it doesn't work well when you try to do it from a package17:20
kirklandcjwatson: i've wasted several days on this17:20
cjwatsonwhy not just have vmbuilder preseed stuff itself?17:20
kirklandcjwatson: feature request for vmbuilder17:21
LaserJockkirkland: you're just stuck on moodle or are there others?17:21
kirklandcjwatson: i think there's a bug alreay17:21
cjwatsonunderstood, but it's the only sane approach17:21

sebnerRiddell: you remember libjgraph0.6-java right?18:10
mdzsmoser, maybe a better solution, rather than trying to provide ec2-* names for euca2ools, would be to add those higher level CLI tools we've been talking about18:10
mdze.g. "start an instance using the current stable Ubuntu AMI"18:11
Riddelllsebner: mm hmm18:11
mdzthose would wrap euca2ools and wouldn't need to worry about CLI compatibility18:11
mdznurmi_, ^^18:11
smoserwhich would still require setting up *some* environment that could then provide other tools with the needed data.18:11
mdzsmoser, I'd like to work on minimizing the environment setup as well18:12
mdzthere are a lot of steps18:12
sebnerRiddelll: The synced source (by jdstrand) went to multiverse (again) which is the reason why we removed the old libjgraph-java package. Will move it to universe. Something went totally wrong18:12
smosererichammond's largest issue is with existing code that already works.18:12
mdza standardized configuration file would be much friendlier than a bunch of environment variable settings18:12
smosermdz, i agree.18:12
mdzsane defaults would be even better18:12
Riddelllsebner: what do you want me to do?18:12
smoserthe xc2 that i've pointed you at has a config file that it reads18:13
sebnerRiddell: move it from multiverse to universe18:13

Riddelllsebner: move libjgrapht-java?  I just deleted it18:14
smoserbut some of the others could be done18:14
sebnerRiddelll: no, you missunderstood. move libjgrapht0.6-java18:14
sebnerRiddell: libjgrapht-java was the old package (split over multiverse and universe) so I synced the new package and let you remove the old one. But the new one moved to multiverse instead of universe (don't know what went wrong)18:15
