ajmitchnot enough people use some of these packages or hit the appropriate code paths to trigger the bug yet, I guess00:00
ScottKNo doubt.00:00
ScottKSounds like SRU material at this point in any case.00:00
ajmitchprobably, but a patch needs to be found before we can even consider that00:01

zookoDoes anyone know what patch in Python changed the behavior of the __doc__ property?00:01
directhexokay, i give up. is it actually possible to change timezone on karmic? changing it in Administration/Time and Date doesn't help - it'll always be shown as blank next time you run it00:02
lifelesszooko: how was it changed?00:02
ajmitchzooko: the impression I got was that it's an upstream change, I haven't looked for it though00:03

zookoSince the Python upstream folks are currently working on putting out a 2.6.4 whose raison d'etre is to undo regressions that were introduced in Python 2.6.3, I thought they should know.00:05

HewHi MOTU's. Nexuiz 2.5.2-1 has just been packaged by Debian. This is a major change over 2.4.2-1 which has been in Ubuntu since Intrepid.

zuljfcgauss_, please open a bug in launchpad thanks16:30
geserwrapster: this is from the 32bit build or from the 64bit build?16:41
wrapsterfrom the 64bit build.16:41
wrapstergeser: one moment i'll paste the rules file.16:41
geserwrapster: I wonder about the "i386 output" at the end of the line. I've no experience with cross-building but it looks like it wants to build an i386 lib instead of a amd64 lib16:43
wrapstergeser: http://pastie.org/66520316:43
jfcgauss_im logged in, but somehow failed to find "File new bug" link on https://bugs.launchpad.net/, not my 1st bug report. did something change :?16:44
wrapstercould that be an issue with the flags being set.. I mean originally they were for 32 so flags set appropriately..16:44
geserwrapster: have you managed to build the 64bit lib by hand? just take the source, do what's needed to get it build and don't look at packaging yet16:44
wrapstergeser: no..16:45
wrapsteri have not done that yet...16:45
wrapsteri have the sources though.16:45
geseronce you know how to get it build successfully you can think about how to package it16:45
wrapsterso shall i just yank everything out for 32bit and only do the 64bit ones. first16:46
geserwrapster: yes, but you don't need to touch the packaging for it at all, just take a copy of the source and call make (with the needed variables, etc.) on it16:47
jmarsdenjfcgauss_: Yes, things changed.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs16:47
wrapsterok..16:47
wrapstermake in the sense how?16:47
wrapstershould i go into each dir and run make16:47
geserimportant is only that you know that you can successfully build a 64bit lib16:48
wrapsteror make -f debian/rules16:48
wrapstersomething like that?16:48
geserjust take the make call from your rules files (make -C mozilla/security/nss nss_build_all MOZILLA_CLIENT=1 ...)16:49
wrapsterok16:50
geserlike you would build it without packaging (for installing it in /usr/local), but just the compiling16:51

wrapstergeser: i still have errors though18:15
wrapstergeser: i dont quite understand what that means.. is it unablet to use the plc4 libraray? for 64bit or something?18:16
geserwrapster: yes, it wants to try to link your 64bit .o files to 32bit libs, this won't work. You need a 64bit variant of plc4 and use the correct values for -L as I assume /lib/ and /usr/lib holds the 32bit libs18:18
wrapsterok will look for it in /usr/lib/amd64 one moment18:18
wrapsterthere is no plc4 version of it.18:19
geserso you need to first build a 64bit variant of libpcl4 before you can continue here18:19
geserthe same applies for libplds4, libnspr4, libthread, libnsl, libsocket, libposix4, libdl and libc18:20
wrapsteryeah apparenlty dpkg -S libplc4 ---> nspr4,nspr4-0d so i guess i need the 64bit variants.18:21

wrapsterwhat does that 0d and 1d mean?18:24
geserit's the library version18:25
wrapsterok but how do i know if its the 64bit or the 32 one.. coz i have nspr4/4-0d/4-dev installed18:26
wrapsteryet this is cribbing.18:26
geseryou can ask "file" what it thinks about a file, but unless you (or someone else) made a 64bit variant of this package, I assume it's 32bit only18:27

micahgwrapster: are you trying to install flash?18:28
wrapsterno18:28
micahgok18:29
geserwrapster: yes, you need them all to build libnss in 64bit (I didn't check how many different source packages that are)18:29
wrapstergeser: ok i'll do it.18:30
geserwrapster: do you have a libc alread in /usr/lib/amd64?18:31
wrapsteryeah18:31

wrapsteranything i can do?18:33
frandieguezSorry for the noise... but when karmic rc will be released?18:33
joaopintofrandieguez, support for karmic is on #ubuntu+1 :P18:33
geserwrapster: repeat your work for nspr18:33
geserwrapster: the needed libs come from nspr and the libc package (I hope if you have a libc.so.1 in 64bit that you have also the other libs from it in 64bit)18:34
wrapsteryeah libc.so.1 is there.. i'll first start with nspr now..18:35
wrapsterhope it compiles cleanly!!18:35
wrapster-I/usr/lib/amd64 to include the libs right...18:53
geser-L but yes18:56
wrapstergeser: yeah thats the only issue i guess. coz it came upto dpkg_shlibdeps: then failed as it cannot locate libc.so.1(64bit)18:59
MTeck-ricerI'm trying to remember the name of an app that shows all processes in rc in a table type display so you can enable/disable them - any ideas what that's calls?19:04

wrapsterso nspr need to be built with 64 first to get that version of .so19:24
wrapsterthen i can use it19:24

wrapstercoz i dont have the 64bit flavors of em19:31

wrapsterits interesting as its neither in /usr/lib nor in /usr/lib/amd6419:48

ximionhi! I have a short question about library packaging:21:17
ximionI created a package project-core which contains a shared library and an essential binary, which is used by other tools of this project and uses the library itself. The lib is used in nearly every part of the project I package, but it can also be used by other tools. Now I get the lintian warning to rename project-core to match the library name. It is a bad idea to package a lib with data like images. Is it allowed to package a shared21:17
ximionlib with binary programs?21:17
geserdon't know if it's allowed, but it's a bad idea. what will you do if the API/ABI of the lib changes?21:41
