sistpotyhey bddebian: I'll upload an ftbfs fixed version of gmult any minute. Please don't ask, why it does work with my patch, that was an epiphany and I have no real clue about the build system :(01:58
sistpotybddebian: hence I'd very much like to not file a but in unstable about that... but in case it works for you as well... ;)01:58
LaserJocksistpoty: what are you doing up so late?02:09
sistpotyhey LaserJock02:10
sistpotyLaserJock: I'm waiting for my spouse to return home02:10
LaserJocksistpoty: what TZ are you in? Seems awfully late/early for Europe02:11
sistpotyLaserJock: utc+2 and, yes, it's quite late for me02:11
LaserJockI'm tired and I'm -4 :-)02:12

bddebiansistpoty: Did you already post/upload gmult?02:13
LaserJockbddebian: did I hear that you made DD?02:13
sistpotybddebian: uploaded: yes, but it's still in the queue02:13
bddebianLaserJock: Yeah, a while ago.  Amazing eh? :)02:13
LaserJockI can't believe it02:13
bddebianHey! :'-(02:14
LaserJock;-)02:14
sistpotyLaserJock: you missed the bits about ftp-master, I guess02:14
bddebianHeh02:14
bddebianWell just ftp assistant02:14
LaserJockohhhhh!02:14
LaserJockI think I did see that in my mail box02:14
LaserJockand to think, we never thought he'd amount to anythin :p02:14
bddebianI'm totally absent from Ubuntu these days though02:14
bddebianLaserJock: Amen brother! :)02:15
sistpotywell, I always new to cheat revu by reviewing only stuff that went through bddebian before :P02:15
LaserJockheh02:15
bddebianbah02:15
LaserJockI'm sadly absent from Ubuntu these days as well02:17
LaserJockI can't believe somebody actually gave me a real job02:17
LaserJockI was starting to think I was going to  be a grad student forever02:17
bddebianheh02:17
LaserJockI had been there longer than all of the secretaries02:17
bddebianYou can have my "real" job! :)02:17
LaserJockI'd been through 3 department chairs02:18
bddebiandang02:18
LaserJockand I'd seen 6 new faculty hired02:18
LaserJock2 of which I was on the hiring committee02:18
bddebiansistpoty: Is it a small patch?02:19
LaserJockyou know you've been there too long when professors you helped hire are getting tenure :-)02:19
bddebianhehe02:19
LaserJockI like my new job, but I'm not sure about Boston/New England yet02:20
LaserJockweather's been nice, but the traffic sucks02:21
sistpotybddebian: yep02:21
bddebianYeah Boston is about the worst traffic I've ever seen and I lived in California for 12 years :)02:21

bddebiansistpoty: I'm not doubting you, I'm just confused by that one :)02:26
sistpotyheh02:27
sistpotywell, usually I can tell exactly what went wrong, and I even believe that I'm not too bad with automake... in this case it still escapes me why the patch fixes the problem though02:28
bddebianAye02:28
sistpotyok, spouse just returned home... must leave now... cya02:29
bddebianLater man, thanks02:30
LaserJockyou know02:30
sistpotycya bddebian and LaserJock02:30
LaserJockwe'd get so much more done on Ubuntu if it wasn't for spouses ;-)02:30
sistpotyhaha02:30
bddebianHeh and jobs02:30
LaserJockbut don't tell mine I said that :p02:30
sistpotyheh02:30
sistpoty<- now really leaves, cya02:30
zookoHi folks.  Anybody interested in uploading Tahoe-LAFS to the Karmic Queue?  http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/tahoe-lafs03:39
ScottKNote: It's a reupload due to a licensing issue.03:59
ScottKSo it's OK/desired even though it's late in the cycle.03:59
jdongplus, it sounds like a pretty damn cool project :)04:02
ScottKzooko:^^^^ There's your victim.04:03
jdongROFL04:04
jdongok let wrap up what I'm doing and take a look :)04:05
jdongboy you think after these years I'd learn what speaking up means in IRC ;-)04:05
zooko:-)04:06
ScottKjdong: I'd do it, but then I couldn't be the archive admin to review it.  Thanks.04:11
jdongok, lemme look :)04:21
jdongzooko: sponsored :)04:24
zookojdong: whoo!  :-)04:26
jdongI'll keep my fingers crossed for you too ;-)04:27
zookoThank you very much!04:31
jdongsure thing, anytime!04:31
* ScottK digs around. Finds the remote for jdong's alarm clock and hands it over to zooko to make sure "anytime" is enforcable.04:32
jdongwell as long as it's not the 150dB one on Digg or my roommate's which is always in some foreign timezone, that's fine :)04:33

jdongidn what information it needs; with the latest posted patches and/or forcing model=mb5 I've got sound in everything, just no jack sense04:37
dtchenjdong: right, that bug is pretty unhelpful for me WRT your specific issue, because i have no way of knowing if your codec matches the reporter's precisely04:40
jdongdtchen: *nods* in that case I shall boot that machine up right now :)04:40
dtchenjdong: it is more helpful to just post another bug report with that info attached (which ubuntu-bug alsa-base will do)04:40
jdongwill do, thank you sir04:40
zookoOkay folks, I'm definitely about to fall asleep.  As soon as Tahoe-LAFS is apt-gettable I'll post about it on my blog and identi.ca and so on and invite Tahoe-LAFS users to install Karmic and test it out.04:42
jdongwhoo :)04:43
jdonggood night, man!04:43
zookoTomorrow I'm taking my children to aikido, then soccer, then having my father over for a visit, so at some point tomorrow night or Sunday I'll probably check for Tahoe-LAFS in Karmic...04:44

jdongwhew, what a packed day04:45
jdongkids these days are involved in so many things04:45

AmaranthOh, should I file a bug for my laptop needing model=mb3?05:31
wrapsterim a beginner at packaging and wanted to clarify a few things... have a look at this http://pastie.org/631355... (as an eg ) i wanted to know if all the files present in the upstream dir are necessary.. or can we do without some?07:35
jmarsdenwrapster: You seem to have mixed source files with temp files from the build process in the same directory??  That's horribly confusing.  if you want to repackage flex, apt-get source flex and start from there.07:51
wrapsterjmarsden: yeah thats where i started from .. i had already built flex but guess i needed to pull the source then ask the question ... :)07:52
wrapstersorry about that..07:52
wrapsterwill get back in a while07:52
jmarsdenwrapster: Oh, then run make clean or make -f debian/rules clean    or both and try again :)07:53
wrapsterjmarsden: is this better to base my question on? http://pastie.org/63136807:57
jmarsdenProbably... but now you just have source files, so of course they are all needed... what makes you think otherwise?07:58
jmarsdenWell, you could consider config.guess and config.sub disposable... but... what are you really trying to do here?07:59
wrapsterjmarsden: when i looked at ways of packaging...(when my seniors were doing it) i thought i saw them remove files that ended with *.ex so was wondering what they are and why are they being removed.. forgot to ask then.. so troubing you.08:02
wrapsterhow about in the debian dir? apart from control,rules,changelog,copyright are there any other files that are necessary? to build a pkg?08:03
jmarsdenInside the debian/ dir if you use dh_make to generate a starting set of debian packaging files you can get that; but here you are starting from an existing package so there should not be any files around which are unnecessary.08:03
jmarsdenwrapster: To build "a" package, or to build this one in particular?08:04
wrapsterto build a pkg08:04
jmarsdenat minimum you should only need those 4.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#Packaging%20from%20Scratch08:05
jmarsdenThat guide also talks about removing the *.ex files, by the way.  Reading the whole guide is *strongly* recommended.08:06

ScottKzooko: What are the licensing terms for src/allmydata/util/mathutil.py?14:50
ScottKsistpoty: IIRC maven is one of those things where you generally want the crack of the day, so while we'd need someone to shepherd through a set of updates, I'm don't think we need to be really picky about testing.15:28
sistpotyScottK: ok, but I'd at least like to see a rudimentary test though15:29

lamalexDoes anyone know about cdbs simple-patchsys?17:47
lamalexhow do I create a new patch? Do I edit the code then do a diff and revert the code?17:47
diwiccdbs-edit-patch17:49
DarxusIf I created a new package today, which didn't qualify for karmic, what would happen to it?17:50
lamalexDarxus: get it into debian and have it sync for lucid17:51
diwiclamalex: if you have the choice, switching to quilt is generally recommended17:52
lamalexdiwic: yeah, but I don't have the authority to do that unfortunately17:52
pochudiwic: is it?17:52
pochuoh, generally17:53
diwicpochu: I believe most people think so (myself included), but I'm not sure if it is an official policy.17:54
DarxusOhh, a name for what comes after kamric :P17:54
DarxusPackages can't be added to lucid yet though?17:55
pochuno17:56
DarxusHeh, wikipedia is already updated.17:57
DarxusWhich event on the Lucid release schedule markes when new packages can be uploaded?18:00
Darxushttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule18:00
lamalexdiwic: thanks18:01
lamalexDarxus: they can be uploaded at any point before feature freeze18:02
lamalexbut debian import freeze is where it won't be synced from debian18:02
lamalexso I would try and get it uploaded into debian as soon as possible18:02
Darxuslamalex: Well, since they can't be uploaded now, that's not true.  When is the soonest they can be uploaded?18:02
RainCT(*automatically synced, you can still manually request syncs afterwards)18:03
lamalexDarxus: idk, as soon as the repos open I guess18:03
RainCTDarxus: as soon as the archive is opened, which is usually a few weeks after the previous release coming out18:03
lamalexnov 5 maybe?18:03
DarxusRainCT: Thanks.18:04
DarxusThat should be on the schedule :)18:04
DarxusI just contacted the last person to edit the schedule and asked him to add it.18:07
DarxusCan you give me an example of a package that only has a couple .h files?18:11
joaopintoDarxus, .h are usually contained on -dev packages18:11
Darxusjoaopinto: I know, I'm looking through them, thanks.18:12
Darxus$ for file in `dpkg -l '*dev' | grep ^i | awk '{print $2}'` ; do echo -n  `dpkg -L $file | wc -l` >> headercount.txt ; echo " $file " >> headercount.txt; done18:15
DarxusI love linux.18:16

Darxuslibbz2-dev looks good.18:17
DarxusWell, before I start trying to build a new package for the first time I should ask if this makes sense.18:19
DarxusNvidia has made hardware acceleration of video decoding available.18:19
DarxusSupport is included in the source of the karmic mplayer package, but it's not enabled.18:20
DarxusEnabling it requires two .h files from nvidia.18:20
DarxusSo I should package these two .h files and make that a build-dep of mplayer, right?18:20
Darxus(I have it working on my computer.  It's awesome.)18:21
joaopintoDarxus, have you checked those .h files copyright ?18:21
Darxusjoaopinto: Just did.  It's good.18:22
Darxus'Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction...'18:23
joaopintoDarxus, if the copyright is compatible with mplayer, it makes more sense to add those 2 .h as a building patch18:23
joaopintoi mean, to mplayer18:24
DarxusDoes it?  What about other players that might build against it?18:24
DarxusBah, trying to find somebody at nvidia to ask for a version number.18:27
joaopintothere are some cases of .h files repeated on several sources, if those 2 .h are part of a library it makes sense to package the entire lib :)18:27
Darxusjoaopinto: I believe this support only exists as patches nvidia made to mplayer and these two .h files.18:33
DarxusSo.. should I be making a package of two .h files?18:34
DarxusI don't think I got an answer to this before:  Do I need to use my real name when packaging/signing for upload to the archives, if I make it to that point?18:37
sistpotyDarxus: it's highly encouraged to use the real name18:38
sistpotyDarxus: header files belong to the package with the library that actually has the implementation, a standalone package with only two header files would be a little bit strange18:38
sistpoty(i.e. to the -dev package actually, see the library packaging guide for details)18:40
DarxusI finally had the sense to google to see what debian is doing with this.  There's an RFP bug:  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=51155518:40
ubottuDebian bug 511555 in ffmpeg "ffmpeg: Please support VDPAU" [Wishlist,Open]18:40
ScottKdiwic: Very few people are neutral on the subject of quilt.  I think saying it's generally recommended overstates the case.18:41
* sistpoty shoves more packages into ScottK's queue :)18:43
ScottKExcellent18:43
Darxus"Headers are alreay included in the nvidia source package"18:44
DarxusLooks like those headers are already packaged in nvidia-glx-185-dev in karmic, heh.18:52
DarxusExcept they're not actually in there :(18:58
ScottKkirkland: I'm going over Universe stuff and accepting it.  Your versioning of the sobby upload seems a bit odd to me.  Didn't you want 0.4.5-1ubuntu1?19:04

hyperairwhat's wrong with just checking STY?22:09
hyperairin fact, what are the cases where STY goes missing?22:10
* hyperair reads the bug report.22:11
hyperairi take it that it's acceptable to have byobu *not* launch, and instead have "exec byobu-launcher" just exit the shell instead.22:12
hyperairgreat. just great.22:12

hyperairin the first place, what's wrong with having byobu-inside-byobu when you ssh to another machine that has byobu in it?22:14
