macoany kde cdbs ninjas around?03:18
JontheEchidnao/03:18
macoJontheEchidna: im trying to fix a FTBFS. so far ive found that "debian/rules build" works dandy. "debian/rules binary", however, deletes *.cpp then whines because it cant find the code. all thats in rules in includes for debhelper.mk and kde.mk ... any idea what's up?03:24
JontheEchidnahmm03:24
JontheEchidnawhat package?03:24
macodarkroom03:26
macoJontheEchidna: ^03:27
JontheEchidnaergh, forgot about that one. I re-upped darkroom for a library transition and it failed03:27
JontheEchidnahmm, the best I can think, maybe something in the translation-stripper code is deleting the file for some reason03:29
JontheEchidnaperhaps a corner case bug in the translation cdbs code03:29
JontheEchidnaThat's the only place where I know that the cdbs rules actually delete anything03:30
macoi dont think i have the translation stripper package installed in my pbuilder03:31
JontheEchidnakde.mk does it's own thing for translation handling in order to work with binarypkgmangler, so it gets run even when binarypkgmangler isn't installed03:32
macoso you think kde.mk deletes .cpp files?03:33
macoblah03:33
JontheEchidnatry setting KUBUNTU_NO_DELETE_POT=true in debian/rules03:33
dtchensuperm1: any possibility you could install alsa-utils_1.0.20-2ubuntu3 from LP librarian and use the procedure in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/352732/comments/63, please?03:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 352732 in pulseaudio "[jaunty] Sound muted after boot" [Undecided,Confirmed]03:33
macook03:33
JontheEchidnareally it should only be deleting .pot files, but it could be misbehaving03:33
dtchensuperm1: I can't reproduce the symptom at all, but you and others seem to be able to03:33
macoJontheEchidna: i did echo "KUBUNTU_NO_DELETE_POT=true" >> debian/rules and then debian/rules binary and it still deleted teh cpps03:35
JontheEchidnameh :(03:36
maco(there are no editors installed in pbuilder AFAICT)03:36
* JontheEchidna has a hook that installs nano un-permanently upon build failure03:36
wgrantmaco: There aren't any editors, but you can vim from outside.03:36
macoi had to pick a very WTF build failure, didnt i?03:37
JontheEchidnaheh03:37
dtchenI'd much rather deal with FTBFS than angry users and angry upstreams.03:38
macohaha good point. your side of the room is full of grrrr right now03:38
* JontheEchidna wonders if cmake.mk would suffice in darkroom's case03:38
macos/kde/cmake/ ?03:40
macow/ sed on rules?03:40
* maco tries03:40
JontheEchidna/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/cmake.mk03:41
macothat...appears to have worked!03:45
JontheEchidnathen that definitely means something in kde.mk is borked03:46
JontheEchidnaor more likely one of kde.mk's included .mk files03:46
JontheEchidnaI wonder if it would work if you unincluded kubuntu.mk in kde.mk03:47
* JontheEchidna will play around with it a bit03:47
JontheEchidnaif it is, I will add it to my list of "things I do fixing our rosetta compat that keep me from doing better things"03:48
macohahaha03:49
lex79JontheEchidna: btw it's KUBUNTU_NO_DELETE_POT=1 and not =true, does it the same thing?03:51
JontheEchidnalex79: hmm, maybe it should be 1, not sure03:51
lex79yes it's =1, but I'm wondering if you set =true, it's the same03:52
JontheEchidnanot sure03:52
JontheEchidnathe fact that we have to have such a workaround is bullcrap in the first place03:53
JontheEchidna(where a universe package requires the .pot to build and doesn't have a Messages.sh around to generate a fresh .pot)03:53
lex79uhm yes03:54
JontheEchidnajust more proof of the unmaintainability of kubuntu's translation stack at the moment [/rant]03:59
JontheEchidnaha, it is kubuntu translation stuff causing the failure04:21
* JontheEchidna officially adds this to the list of "things I do fixing our rosetta compat that keep me from doing better things"04:21

CarlFKwhy doesn't the python package include python binary?  http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/python/filelist16:13
JontheEchidnaCarlFK: that's all kept in the python=<versionnumber> package that the python package depends on16:14

sebnerjoaopinto: didn't found any corresponding bug report. Besides I'm wondering what's with all the PPA versions. I doubt they are really correct when DM has such problem with it (e.g Upstream checksums on the files etc )16:23
dholbachzul: "ok unfortunately I need to reply in German now. the problem is that NIS users can authenticate to a ltsp client but can't use usb sticks or any usb devices. it doesn't matter if it's ldm or gdm. in my opinion this is about group permissions. entries in the NSSWITCH file were not made use of.

sebnersistpoty|work: I have 2.5.1 installed now though but I don't think so. I only read about improving the protocol so downloads work faster now16:29
CarlFKanyone know where the list is?16:30
ghostcubehttp://www.getdeb.net/changes.php?id=4236  would be mentioned here so far if anything happened in the game proto16:30

sebnerjoaopinto: ack16:33
sebnerjoaopinto: did you fix it (playdeb has 2.5.2 now right)16:34
joaopintoyes, it was packaged when it was released, there have been no failure reports until now16:34
sebnerjoaopinto: what did you do about the checksum problem?16:35
joaopintosebner, after reading a svn commit on the debian games team just dropped the changes to default.cfg, I believe it was that, it was c_korn doing the package I think16:36
sebnerjoaopinto: ah I think the main problem is that Debian/Ubuntu package removes the "Upgrade to foox.y" messages and that requires file editing which violates the checksums etc16:37
joaopintooh, the upgrade check16:38
joaopintoI am not that familiar with the package :|16:38

ghostcube:D16:38
ghostcube_-_16:39
sebnerghostcube: well "guru" is a really strong word ;)16:39
sistpoty|workif I read it correctly, the problem was(is?) that the compiled binary didn't match the precompiled sources, due to a makefile missing16:39
