c_kornhm, I cannot install libgoogle-perftools-dev. it says it depends on version 0.98 but version 0.85 is going to be installed00:29
mmmiiikkkeeeHi, I am writing my first OS app; I want to learn how to package it for Ubuntu.  I was reading the Ubuntu policy manual and it says: "Every package must have a Debian maintainer"  I am not a Debian developer; does that mean I can't package my app for Ubuntu?00:35
directhexmmmiiikkkeee, no. it's probably an error in the copypasta from debian policy00:42
ScottKActually it's not.00:42
ScottKEvery package must have a maintainer, just in Ubuntu it's almost always a team.00:43
directhexit's preferred if the team is dynamic & sexy, though00:43
prowerIs there any reason why libstdc++-5 is no longer included in the repositories for karmic? The lack of the libraries has broken a lot of the closed-source software that I used to use without issue in Jaunty00:44
TheMusoprower: Because the version of gcc that libstdc++5 was part of, was removed from karmic.00:44
prowerTheMuso, I see...so there's no way to run any of these commercial packages in karmic any more, then00:45
mmmiiikkkeeeScottK: so for my package I would just put myself as the maintainer? since I wrote the app?00:46
prowerA little advice for MOTU, it'd be nice if you provided some warning -before- breaking a ton of software on your own users... :P00:46
ScottKmmmiiikkkeee: No, you make Ubuntu Developers the maintainer00:46
TheMusoprower: Its generally because Debian also removes software, so we follow their lead.00:46
prowerTheMuso: Even if it's to the detriment of your end users?00:47
ScottKprower: It's a pretty ancient GCC version.  Indefinitely maintaining ancient stuff is really not feasible.00:47
prowerScottK: Well obviously, yes :> It's not really feasible to run a lot of the stuff that I've bought now either00:47
prowerHence the problem00:47
ScottKprower: It's very within the power of these closed source vendors to user more recent GCC.  You're pointing your anger in the wrong direction.00:48
ScottKprower: It's also equally possible to stay with an older Ubuntu version too.  Hardy is supported on the desktop for another 18 months.00:48
prowerScottK: You're right...I should approach the manufacturer of every individual piece of software that I own and ask them to recompile their binaries, that's much more convenient? Thanks for the "help" :P00:48
ScottKIf he comes back, someone might mention this is one reason not to use closed source stuff.00:49
directhexshall i summon the whaaambulance?00:49
ajmitchdirecthex: it's obviously mono's fault00:49
directhexajmitch, bloody patents :(00:49
TheMusoScottK: Whats also interesting, is that c++ stuff seems to be affected more so than c, since it needs extra libs. I could be wrong however.00:50
ScottKYes, it does.  Not sure why.00:50
ajmitchsymbol mangling changes00:50
mmmiiikkkeeeScottK: Ok, thanks; I just put "Ubuntu Developers" in the field or I need to specify a specific person? sorry for the confusion(I am new to all of this...)00:51
directhexyeah. c++ has always been fragile with its symbols00:51
directhexconsider how many times there have been "c102" or "c2" appends onto package names, to cope with broken APIs from C++ tomfoolery00:51
directhext'is simply fragile00:52
ajmitchat least we don't generally have to worry about libc5 :)00:52
TheMusoajmitch: heh00:52
TheMusodirecthex: If I was a proprietary software vendor looking to write for Linux, unless my project really needed to use c++, then using c would be much more appealing.00:53
TheMusoDue to c++ fragility.00:53
ajmitchit would be nice to be able to have libstdc++5 still lying around without needing the full gcc-3.3 source in the repository00:53
directhexTheMuso, i think it happens a fair bit with games00:53
ajmitchwindows is so much better at binary compatibility than linux :)00:54
TheMusodirecthex: I'll bet.00:54
TheMusoajmitch: One thing that probably needs to be improved in Linux. Sure its better to use open source, but the fact is that there are some things that will remain proprietary and be made available for Linux.01:01
ajmitchTheMuso: I don't know how easy it'd be to have libstdc++5 kept around & still buildable from source, without carrying all of gcc-3.3 indefinitely01:03
TheMusoajmitch: I am not referring to libstdc++5 specifically.01:36
TheMusoajmitch: I do agree though.01:36
ajmitchno, it's just one of the common cases01:36
ajmitchwe don't want to go out of our way to make it hard for people who still need to use proprietary software01:36
TheMusoyep01:37
fcuk112what is the difference between "closes" and "LP" when updating the changelog?01:37
ajmitch"Closes: #123456" is what debian will pick up01:37
ajmitchLP: #123435 is the equivalent for closing a bug in launchpad01:38
fcuk112i see, can you do (LP: #12345, #12344) to close 2 bugs simultaneously?01:39
jdongyou need LP: #12345, LP: 1234401:39
fcuk112ok cool thanks.01:39
jdongwhat's our opinion on APSL?01:51
jdongthe same as the DFSG's?01:51

jdongajmitch: yeah; I was wondering what's the feasiability of Apple's diskdev-cmds in Universe01:52
jdong(giving us an effective fsck_hfs for iPod and such owners)01:52
ajmitchwhat version of the APSL?01:52
ajmitchsince even the FSF considers 2.0 a free software licence01:53
jdongversion 2.001:54
ajmitch2.0 seems to have different wording around the problematic section there01:57
jdong*nods*01:58
ajmitchask the ubuntu ftpmasters :)01:58
ajmitchhttp://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=302462 seems to indicate that debian consider the APSL 2.0 to not be considered a free licence under the DFSG01:59

ScottKjdong: I think it's OK for multiverse for sure.02:27
ScottKIt may be OK for Universe/Main, but I'd have to think about it.02:28
ScottKThe notion that a requirement to provide source makes a license non-free is at the very least odd.02:28

Edwin_achHi everybody out, it is a nice work what are you doing for Ubuntu distro...06:47
Edwin_achI was reading short interviews to MOTU members and their words make me feel confidence to want to get involved helping out with this project, for the moment I will have to read the wiki and then dive into! :D06:52
ScottKEdwin_ach: Welcome.06:53
Edwin_achthanks ScottK! :)06:54
jmarsdenEdwin_ach: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted is a good starting page for wiki reading about what MOTUs do and how you can do it too.06:54
Edwin_achScottK, I am feel happy to know anyone can help and become an active contributor to enhance Ubuntu distro!06:55
Edwin_achthank you ScottK, I will read the GettingStarted guide06:56
\shmoins07:03
ScottKGood morning \sh.07:04
micahghi \sh07:04
demongthow do i get youtube video's to work?07:04
micahg\sh: I copied zend fw in the ppa from hardy to karmic07:04
micahgdemongt: check in #ubuntu for support07:04
\shmicahg, hey...I just pushed a new dojo upstream to my PPA...if you want to have a look at it :)07:04
micahgor #ubuntu-mozillateam07:04
micahg\sh: did you have to push the stuff in the ppa or were you able to copy it07:05
\shmicahg, I uploaded the versions for zf into the zf ppa...07:06
micahgok07:06
\shmicahg, ScottK will approve official backports for the next releases...07:06
micahgoh, that's great07:06
micahgalthough, I don't know if we should07:06
micahgwell, to karmic would be fine07:07
\shmicahg, zf is harmless...a good package for backporting07:07
micahg\sh: not for people using it in production :)07:07
\shmicahg, tbh..people using ubuntu in production don't use backports (at least me ;))07:07
\shbut zf needs to be always the latest..regarding our zf devs07:08
micahgI guess it's ok, as backports by default has a priority of 107:08
\shmicahg, btw..if you have time and pleasure, debian is still waiting for our packages of zf on mentors...if you want, please jump on that wagon and push it into debian :)07:08
micahg\sh: time is something I'm short on this month07:09
micahg\sh: btw, there's a proposal in debian for dojo to be called libjs-dojo07:10
micahgmaybe your idea is better though07:10
\shmicahg, yes...we need to change the package names...as said, my dojo package was just the first shot to try it out..it needs more love to make it rocking07:10
micahgok07:11
micahgwell, if you want to make a blueprint of what's required, I can probably get to it at some point before Lucid07:11
\shmicahg, the package split in dojo-core, dojo-dijit and dojo-dojox makes sense, because it's just like jquery and jquery-ui ... three different functionalities07:11
\shmicahg, whats really missing is the java js foo which needs separate packaging, because there is also a separate source...it needs to be removed from the dojo-src tarball when preparing the orig.tar.gz07:12
\sh(which I don't do right now)07:13
Edwin_achScottK, I was reading in the GettingStarted guide that MOTU are the people dealing with packaging... (it's sound great) but actually I have not enough experience in programming.... :S07:13
\shbut the real crazyness of dojo are the licenses...we need to be careful about that07:13
ScottKEdwin_ach: very little actual programming experience is needed.07:13
Edwin_achScottK, I learned programming in C++some years ago, but by the slack of practice I am not feel confident to help in that area...07:14
ScottKEdwin_ach: If you can do some basic shell scripting then you know enough.07:15
ScottKIf you know more, there's more you can do, but I'm not much of a programmer either07:15
micahg\sh: is that it, just gather the licenses and clean the orig.tar.gz?07:16
Edwin_achScottK, maybe very basic shell scripting, I'm still in the learning process :p07:16
ScottKThat's fine.07:16
ScottKThat's about where I was when I started07:17
Edwin_achif you are not programming ScottK, what do you do? (sorry for that question :$)07:17
ScottKPackaging is mostly about integrating upstream software into the Debian style package system that we use.07:18
\shmicahg, it's one of the things still to do ... as said, there is this "shrinksafe" tool, which needs to be packaged as standalone07:18
ScottKMost of that is shell and make and most of the make stuff is reasonably stylized and reusable.07:18
ScottKSo programming doesn't really enter into it.07:19
ScottKThose here that are good programmers also get into fixing bugs found in the packages too, but there is plenty of pure packaging work it's not essential07:19
Edwin_achScottK, it sounds good... then, it is a nice chance to focus my efforts on learning shell scripting instead of specific language programming!!!07:24
Edwin_achalthough I remember programming is too fun! :D07:25
jmarsdenEdwin_ach: There are descriptions and examples of the packaging process in the Packaging Guide which will help you get a feel for the kind of work that is involved: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete07:25
Edwin_achthank you jmarsden, I will read that guide too (I have plenty of material to read to begin getting involved! :) )07:29
jmarsdenYes, there's no shortage of reading material :)07:29
Edwin_achyes, there are a lot of links in the GettingStarted and PackagingGuide/Complete that will be useful :)07:32
Edwin_achthank you jmarsden & ScottK for the links07:33
Edwin_achI will have beginning to read (and sleep a little too, since in Central America is 1:35am XD )07:34
Edwin_achthanks in advance guys for your useful help!!!07:36
slytherinIf DVD is not auto mounting, which package is at fault in karmic?07:41
stochasticis there any way to tell why a package is in multiverse?07:50
stochastic* rather than universe07:50
Elbrusstochastic: usually the license07:50
Elbrusor that of it rdepends07:50
* Elbrus thinks07:51
stochastichmm, must be its rdepends07:51
slytherinstochastic: not rdepends, but build or runtime depends07:54
slytherinstochastic: which package is it by the way?07:54
stochasticElbrus, http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/xjadeo07:54
stochasticsorry, slytherin, http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/xjadeo07:55
stochasticis it because of the "or" in the control file?07:55
siretart`morning07:56
slytherinstochastic: in this case probably because it recommends mencoder and transcode. Both of them are in multiverse.07:58
stochasticslytherin, so a recommends can be enough to put something into multiverse?  interesting.08:01
slytherinstochastic: AFAIK, yes08:02
slytherinstochastic: since recommends are installed by default08:02
stochasticoh yeah, I forgot about that08:03
jmarsdenIt might be worth turning them into Suggests: and moving it to universe, if that is the only reason for it being in multiverse?08:03
stochasticjmarsden, good idea.08:03
stochasticIs there a method to determine why a package is installed on a system?08:05
Elbrusyou mean, as in if it was manually installed or due to a dependency?08:06
Elbrusthe answer to that is yes, but I don't now how exactly08:07
Elbruslook for dkpg I think08:07
jmarsdenstochastic: aptitude why08:07
stochasticjmarsden I'd like to find out which program installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer08:08
jmarsdenstochastic: What does aptitude why ttf-mscorefonts-installer   say ?08:08
jmarsdenMy guess would be gnumeric08:09
stochasticjmarsden, ubuntu-restricted-extras08:10
stochasticthanks, that's the info I needed.08:11
jmarsdenNo problem.08:11
siretart`slytherin: IMO we should promote mencoder and transcode to universe,08:25
siretart`though. at least in mplayer, there is no 'non-free' piece in it.08:25
siretart`haven't checked transcode, but I don't expect anything evil there as well08:26
slytherinsiretart`: I think it is more about the patented codecs that mencoder or trancode allows you to use. But I am no expert in that regard.08:26
\shso..done with my merges08:28
siretart`slytherin: you might note that we already promoted x264 and08:28
siretart`vlc. patents are no longer reason for multiverse. only licensing matters08:28
\shtranscode uses patented codecs? I thought it's using whats ffmpeg and mencode delivers08:28
siretart`IIRC transcode implements many encoders itself08:29
siretart`err, s/encoders/muxers/08:29
\shwhich is a different story ;)08:30
siretart`not really08:30
siretart`avi is patented as well AFAIUI08:30

gomersionHi all. I have recently posted a bug report here on launchpad. I have subsequently seen that the packe I referred to "is not linked to an upstream package". Does anyone know how, or what the criteria are for a package to be linked to upstream? The bug ref is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smbldap-tools/+bug/47636115:15
ubottuLaunchpad bug 476361 in smbldap-tools "New upstream version available" [Undecided,New]15:15
slytherinJonyBlaze: QT is a toolkit. I am asking about build system like make, cmake, ant etc.15:16
JonyBlazeslytherin: well it uses qmake15:17
JonyBlazeslytherin: to make a makefile, then you use make to build it15:17
wrapstereven though i have libc.so.1 present in /usr/lib...15:17
slytherinJonyBlaze: then doesn't it have a install target, something like qmake install15:18
wrapsterWhy is it that i get an error like this "dh_shlibdeps -l/usr/lib:/lib;;;;;;;;dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: couldn't find library libc.so.1 needed by debian/libnspr4-0d/usr/lib/libplds4.so.0d (its RPATH is '/usr/lib').15:18
wrapster"15:18
JonyBlazeslytherin: it doesnt, i cant change that but would the created package know how to uninstall it?15:18
slytherinJonyBlaze: then in that case you can simply what files to put where in debian/install file.15:20
JonyBlazeslytherin: ok, I also want to have it make a menu entry and an icon so that is where I would put those as well I take it15:23
slytherinJonyBlaze: right, provided you have them already.15:25
JonyBlazeslytherin: right15:25
JonyBlazeslytherin: thank you for the help15:25

pmceneryHave you somehow linked it to upstream now?17:44
pmcenerySorry... do you have to put a # in front of the bug number to get it to automatically come up17:44
fabrice_spyou have to put bug :-)17:44

lbrinkmapmcenery, i had found the upstream bug tracker, but i don't linked it, because the package is alredy building17:47
bdrungbigon: did you upload gajim to karmic-proposed?18:03
pmcenerylbrinkma: How if you dont mind... do you (a) get some package to build like you did there, and (b) how do you "link" a package to upstream so its automatically pulled in?18:04
lbrinkmapmcenery: i don't know what you?18:08
pmcenerylbrinkma: I am just interested in the process of how that package build was not "activated" if you like, seeing as it has not been building up to now.18:10
pmcenerylbrinkma: but now it has been set to build. Was that something you had to initiate?18:11
lbrinkmapmcenery: now i understand18:12
lbrinkmapmcenery: does this answer your question: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/BuildScores18:13
pmcenerylbrinkma: Partly. Did you upload a new package, presumably from the latest debian source package?18:22

Hrunhi, i downloaded a source package, but the owner is root... how can i build it as myself?20:55
=== YDdraigGoch is now known as WelshDragon
fabrice_sp__Hrun, did you used apt-get source to retrieve the source?21:00
jdongHrun: more importantly, did you use sudo apt-get source instead of using apt-get source?21:01
ScottKHrun: Don't download it as root (apt-get source, not sudo apt-get source)21:02
jdong*grins* 3 variants of the same answer21:02
fabrice_sp__lol21:02
Hruni did a sudo apt indeed, i think i copy/paste it from the wiki. i'll get it as myself instead. how do i remove the source? just rm, because i could not find a apt-get remove source command.21:03
jdongjust rm -rf the directory that it unpacked21:03
ScottKHrun: What wiki21:04
jdongand the associated files.21:04
ScottK(with sudo)21:04
jdongand yeah, the wiki should be corrected if it says to sudo apt-get source21:04
ScottKBe very careful with sudo rm -rf21:04
Hrun:)21:04
* jdong gets ready to migrate his build-ish server to btrfs21:06
jdongXFS you served me well for the past 4 years, but your rm -rf performance sucks.21:06
lfaraoneCan I put in a sync request for a stable release? (ie sync a patch applied in debian to karmic, when no other changes have been made to the package)21:15
ScottKlfaraone: No.21:16
ScottKYou need to get it into Lucid first (sync that) and then do an SRU21:16
lfaraoneScottK: ah, okay.21:16
lfaraoneHm. Maybe the requestsync tool should warn somebody about that before they submit a report...21:16

MTecknologydirecthex: hm?23:18
directhexMTecknology, i sense frustration in your "please stop replying :(" responses to the eleventeen million duplicates of the nspluginwrapper/GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS bug23:19
MTecknologydirecthex: no frustration when I sent it; just tacked a message on the duplicated - they should have had a message added when they were filed anyway23:22
jdongI think setting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 fixes it. I'll open up a new bug!23:23
jdong(hahaha *DUCKS*)23:23
Amaranthjdong: I kill you23:25
MTecknologyjdong: it's not me you need to fear ;) ^^23:25

jdongobviously not!23:25

jdonghahaha now you' re goona kill me for real23:25
Amaranthjdong: Wha?23:26
* Amaranth gets the bat23:26
JonyBlazeif I send a package to my ppa and it fails to build then i delete it and fix the problem why does it say its already accepted and I have to change the version23:26
JonyBlazebefore i can upload it23:26
AmaranthJonyBlaze: It keeps a record of everything uploaded, deleted or not23:26
AmaranthI wonder if that's per-PPA or global...23:27
jdongper-ppa23:27
JonyBlazeAmaranth: but it failed to build23:27
AmaranthJonyBlaze: But you uploaded it23:27
jdongsources exist even if the binaries don't build23:27
AmaranthJonyBlaze: Once you upload something you can't use that version again no matter what23:27
jdongand not just can't... really you shouldn't even if you can.23:28
JonyBlazeAmaranth: ok thanks, it failed because I capitalized the o in Optional >.<23:29
Amaranthouch, I hate it when I make silly mistakes like that23:29
AmaranthThen everyone knows because you've got a ~ppa6 version on the end23:29

jdongbut fortunately, in private repos23:29
AmaranthBut I made the same mistakes every single update which was the most frustrating23:30

* Amaranth pokes at launchpad23:30

AmaranthCome on, update the bug title, you know you want to23:30
jdong(haha I think that's actually a real bug)23:30
Amaranthjdong: That has happened :/23:30
jdong(though it's not compizs fault)23:30
AmaranthNope, silly bug in the Xv support in the driver23:31
jdongindeed23:31
Amaranthoverlay Xv still does weird things to compiz23:31
jdongbut haha boy does that sound like a plausible bug!23:31
jdongit's almost like telling keybuk that your bootup is hanging :)23:31
MTecknologyCan we make a tutorial process that people need to follow before contributing to any part of Launchpad? Example: create account; go through a tutorial before handling bugs; test; they can deal with bugs..... same thing w/ translations and everything else.
