[01:34] <JonyBlaze> if a package from debian has the wrong standards version in control should it still be synced or should it be updated and merged?
[01:35] <RoAkSoAx> JonyBlaze, if that the only change it can be synced
[01:35] <JonyBlaze> that seems to be the only thing wrong with it
[01:36] <JonyBlaze> other than DD's not patching although there is a patch system
[01:36] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: We don't worry about updating standards version in Ubuntu.
[01:36] <JonyBlaze> okey dokey
[01:37] <ScottK> In fact, if a previous Ubuntu upload bumped the standards version it's wrong and the change should be dropped on the next merge or synced
[01:48] <JonyBlaze> so the sync wiki list 3 conditions that i sync isnt needed so if those are meet we dont sync till after debian import freeze?
[01:48] <JonyBlaze> i=a
[01:49] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: I don't understand.  Can you give a specific example?
[01:50] <JonyBlaze> it says if:
[01:50] <JonyBlaze> #
[01:50] <JonyBlaze> we're before DebianImportFreeze (check ReleaseSchedule) and
[01:50] <JonyBlaze> # our version of the package has no Ubuntu changes
[01:50] <JonyBlaze> # and the Debian package is in sid
[01:51] <JonyBlaze> then An explicit sync is not necessary
[01:51] <JonyBlaze> the package im looking at meets all of those
[01:52] <ScottK> The it will get sync'ed automatically
[01:52] <ScottK> What package?
[01:52] <JonyBlaze> solfege
[01:53] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: The current version of solfege is 3.14.5-1ubuntu1.  It has Ubuntu changes.
[01:54] <ScottK> If the change has been incorporated in Debian and we don't need to maintain it anymore, then a sync has to be manually requested
[01:55] <JonyBlaze> ahh i see someone changed it when they merged it
[01:55] <ScottK> It hasn't been merged for Lucid.  That's the same version Karmic has.
[01:55] <ScottK> The packages on merges.ubuntu.com are the ones that need merging
[01:56] <ScottK> (or syncing)
[01:56] <JonyBlaze> yeah thats were i got it from
[02:23] <tritium> Hello!
[02:23] <ScottK> tritium: Hello!!
[02:24] <tritium> How are you, ScottK?
[02:24] <ScottK> tritium: I have the flu.
[02:24] <ScottK> Other than that, fine.
[02:24] <tritium> Ooh, sorry to hear that.
[02:24] <ajmitch> hi tritium
[02:24] <tritium> ajmitch!  Long time no see!  :)
[02:25] <ajmitch> it's been quite awhile, how are you?
[02:25] <tritium> Doing quite well, thanks.  Holding my six-month-old daughter as we speak.  It doesn't get much better than that.  =)
[02:25] <ajmitch> excellent :)
[02:25] <tritium> And how are you?
[02:26] <ajmitch> good, busy, wishing I could have a holiday :)
[02:26] <tritium> Ah, indeed.
[02:27] <ajmitch> so you'll be keen to get back into MOTU then?
[02:28] <tritium> ajmitch: Oh, I'm not so sure if now is the best time.  Thanks for the thought, though.  :)
[02:28] <tritium> I really come seeking an answer to a question.
[02:28] <ajmitch> surely you'll have lots of spare time with a 6-month-old? :)
[02:29] <tritium> heh, right!
[02:31] <ajmitch> what was your question?
[02:33] <tritium> So, I'm curious about something.  ngspice (http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/) used to be in Ubuntu, back in hoary, and then was removed from debian and ubuntu due to licensing issues.  Those issues have been resolved, and ngspice is now in debian testing, in the non-free section.  Will it be automatically merged into karmic?
[02:33] <tritium> I'm unfamiliar with the merge-o-matic process after all this time.
[02:33] <ajmitch> this was something that came up earlier today - I'm not sure if the autosyncs will drag stuff in from contrib/non-free
[02:34] <ajmitch> it's not on the blacklist at least
[02:35] <tritium> I see.
[02:36] <tritium> If not, ajmitch, what would be the proper process to request the sync?
[02:36]  * tritium is pretty excited about the prospect of getting ngspice back in the repositories
[02:37] <ajmitch> use the requestsync tool for it
[02:37] <ajmitch> I'll be back in a min, got a phone call :)
[02:38] <tritium> Take your time.  :)
[02:46] <tritium> This is very encouraging too: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/openproj
=== jtimbermo is now known as jtimberman
[02:54]  * RoAkSoAx hates homework >(
[02:54] <ajmitch> tritium: ok, back
[02:55] <tritium> ajmitch: ok :)
[02:55] <ajmitch> now I haven't used requestsync for a little while, but it should be mostly automagic these days
[02:56] <tritium> I'll do some digging, then, and see what I can find.
[02:56] <ajmitch> I'm not sure if it's worth filing a sync request just at the moment while there's a large pile & autosyncs are still happening, but I suspect it'll be needed for non-free
[02:56] <ajmitch> 'man requestsync' should cover most of it if you have ubuntu-dev-tools installed
[02:56] <tritium> But being non-free doesn't automatically make it a no-go, which is encouraging.
[02:56] <ScottK> The biggest suprise from the old days is requestsync is in ubuntu-dev-tool and not devscripts
[02:56] <ScottK> tritium: It just means it goes into Multiverse
[02:57] <tritium> Speaking of the "old days", I can't believe there are > 200 nicks in here!
[02:57] <tritium> Ah, thanks, ScottK.  That makes sense.
[03:06] <ajmitch> ScottK: I know you've had the joy of dealing with boost a little - do you know if we'll keep boost1.38 around in lucid, since it's due to be removed from sid?
[03:07] <ScottK> ajmitch: I'm guessing we'll go to 1.40.  I hope to bring it up next week.
[03:07] <ajmitch> right
[03:07] <ajmitch> I want to do an SRU for 1.38 in karmic
[03:08] <ScottK> This is for the Python thing?
[03:08] <ajmitch> the package I know it affects has problems with 1.40, according to the debian changelog
[03:08] <ajmitch> yes
[03:08] <ajmitch> I need to check if it affects 1.40 as well, I suspect it does
[03:08] <ScottK> From what I know, I'm pretty sure it does
[03:09] <ajmitch> the patch should just drop in place for 1.40 as well then, I'll take a look
[03:10] <ScottK> Cool.
[03:12] <tritium> ajmitch, ScottK: thank you both!  I'll be heading off to bed shortly.  Nice catching up with you again.  :)
[03:13] <ajmitch> good to see you around, I hope you drop in more often
[03:13] <tritium> I will!

[03:21] <JonyBlaze> there are reports its fixed but its still open and is scetchy
[03:22] <ajmitch> nothing in the changelog since that was filed mentions it
[03:22] <JonyBlaze> what changelog?
[03:22] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: The end of the bug discussion says otherwise.
[03:22] <JonyBlaze> upstream?
[03:22] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: The debian/changelog for the version in Debian
[03:22] <ajmitch> changelog for the debian package
[03:24] <JonyBlaze> right, which is why i left the ubuntu fix in my proposed merge just wanting another opinion
[03:26] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: If the Ubuntu patch fixes the problem, it might (I didn't check for sure) make sense to send the patch to the Debian bug.
[03:26] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: Also did you check with the previous uploader of the package?
[03:27] <JonyBlaze> about the fix?
[03:27] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: No, before you did the merge.
[03:28] <JonyBlaze> >.>
[03:28] <ScottK> The merges.ubuntu.com page says to do this to avoid duplicate work.
[03:28] <JonyBlaze> <.<
[03:28] <JonyBlaze> it aslo says to make a bug report and set it to in progress when starting

[03:30] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: If someone is the last to touch a package they should (at least early in the cycle) be able to assume that unless someone has contacted them, they are clear to work on the package.

[03:47] <serialorder> sorry*
[03:57] <JonyBlaze> iheh does submittodebian expect me to have sendmail setup?
[04:02] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: No.  It expects reportbug, but you don't want that anyway.

[04:03] <ScottK> JonyBlaze: Send a mail to 533993@bugs.debian.org with the patch attached and explain why it's a good solution to the problem.

[11:43] <directhex> slytherin, it's not sudden. it was only ever a 1-man project, plus translators. translations continue, but hub has said he's not interested in continuing maintenance. i can find the ML post if you like
[11:44] <slytherin> so what was the point of starting the project in first place. Just because of mono hatred?

[11:46] <directhex> http://www.figuiere.net/hub/blog/?2009/07/27/680-why-i-did-write-gnote is the formal reason given for writing gnote
[11:49] <slytherin> directhex: in first mail, it is mentioned that gnote is default in gnome. I wonder when that happened.
[11:49] <directhex> it's the default in fedora 12's gnome desktop
[11:50] <directhex> fedora moved from tomboy to gnote for "space" reasons, because it's impossible to fit mono on a cd-installed os. and OOo too, which is also not on the default install
[11:50] <slytherin> too bad now they will have to revert again in next release. :-(
[11:51] <directhex> or take on upstream maintainership

[15:51] <KelvinGardiner> Hi, I'm trying to update a package. debuild fails as a patch can't be applied, the patch is here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/317026/ . I copied the debain dir from the old package, the new code is version 2.3.0 so the path in the patch is wrong. I've check the desktop file and it reflects this patch. Is it safe to delete this patch, should I remove the patch command from the rules files and how to I document this i
[15:51] <KelvinGardiner> n the package? Thanks.
[15:52] <azeem> KelvinGardiner: the path shouldn't matter, you need to investigage why it does not apply
[15:52] <azeem> maybe it got already applied in the new upstream versionÃ?
[15:55] <KelvinGardiner> azeem: yes, latest the desktop file already has the patch applied. So I suppose it fails because it can't find the old line to remove.
[15:56] <azeem> yes, patching fails if the patch has been applied already
[15:56] <azeem> so this patch needs to be dropped
[15:59] <KelvinGardiner> azeem: ok thanks, should I leave  dpatch apply-all in the rules files for ant future pacthes.
[15:59] <azeem> are there any other patches?
[15:59] <azeem> if not, it's still fine to leave it, yes
[15:59] <azeem> also see whether you need to update debian/patches/00list
[16:00] <KelvinGardiner> azeem: There are no other patches, I'll leave it in. Thanks.

[17:20] <jdong> and do a separate SRU for the commit backports.
[17:20] <Whoopie> ok

[18:23] <blackxored> ScottK, what's Iulian Undrea's nickname here??
[18:23] <ScottK> blackxored: iulian.
[18:24] <blackxored> iulian, ping
[18:24] <blackxored> ScottK, thx
[18:24] <blackxored> ScottK, BTW I'm starting to apply for MOTU as we were discussing the other day
[18:25] <ScottK> OK.  We can use the Java help.
[18:26] <blackxored> ScottK, I'm willing to do as much as my time allows me to ;)
[18:36] <iulian> blackxored: pong.

[19:24] <EzraR> anyone bored enough to advocate my package on REVU? :)
[19:25] <cyphermox> EzraR, just curious, which package?
[19:26] <EzraR> http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=7017
[19:37] <christoph_debian> hm has debian syncing for lucid already started?
[19:38] <sebner> christoph_debian: yes
[19:42] <christoph_debian> but no reason to worry if some package hasn't been synced yet hopefully
[19:44] <sebner> christoph_debian: in general yes + mind that we are syncing from testing
[19:44] <EzraR> feb11 is debimport freeze

[19:51] <siretart`> Whoopie: jdong: It would be great if we could have the missing build-dep fixed in debian and lucid first. - otherwise no objections from my side.
[19:51] <jdong> siretart`: understood. Absolutely lucid tasks will be held open and I trust that Whoopie will follow up in Debian too :)
[19:51] <Whoopie> jdong: ?
[19:52] <Whoopie> I just have karmic here.
[19:54] <ajmitch> morning
[19:55] <jdong> Whoopie: well our policy for SRU's is "fix it in Lucid before SRU'ing to Karmic"
[19:55] <jdong> you don't have to run Lucid or Debian
[19:55] <jdong> just keep on top of the bug ticket to make sure it does get fixed there
[19:55] <jdong> (in a timely manner)
[19:57] <Whoopie> siretart, jdong: this is the debdiff for karmic-proposed -> http://en.pastebin.ca/1668674
[19:59] <Whoopie> siretart, jdong: I can download the vlc source for lucid and make a debdiff. But could you take care of Debian?
[19:59] <ajmitch> jdong: it gets harder when the unmodified karmic package doesn't build in lucid for some reason :)
[20:00]  * ajmitch hugs boost
[20:00] <jdong> ajmitch: hahaha indeed :)
[20:00] <jdong> in which case it turns into a scarlet letter protocol thing
[20:00] <jdong> we love our stable users :)
[20:00] <ajmitch> I need to figure out why it's failing to find pyconfig.h
[20:00] <jdong> and it's the lifelong burden of the SRU'er to make sure it gets into the devel release in time
[20:00] <jdong> *ducks*
[20:01] <ajmitch> yay
[20:01] <siretart`> Whoopie: yes, that's why I've asked you to cc the mail to the pkg-multimedia list. That team maintains vlc in both debian and ubuntu
[20:01] <ajmitch> actually I'm fixing boost1.38, which will probably be removed from lucid
[20:02] <ajmitch> but I was trying to patch 1.40 last night & having it failing to build, so I got annoyed :)
[20:02] <siretart`> Whoopie: btw, we use the motumedia ppa for these kind of packages...
[20:02]  * siretart` already runs lucid :-)
[20:02]  * ajmitch has a VM for that
[20:02]  * StevenK has chroots for that sort of thing
[20:03] <Whoopie> siretart`: what does that mean for my debdiff?
[20:04]  * jdong follows in ajmitch's VM philosophy :)
[20:04] <jdong> and tosses in some btrfs for crack.
[20:04] <ajmitch> !jdong
[20:04] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jdong
[20:04] <ajmitch> aw
[20:04] <jdong> :)
[20:04] <ajmitch> who removed the crack?
[20:04] <jdong> I think it's only in off topic channels now

[20:09] <FFEMTcJ> siretart`: where can i get lucid at?
[20:10] <ajmitch> FFEMTcJ: if you're *really* brave & want breakage, change karmic to lucid in your sources.list & dist-upgrade
[20:10] <ajmitch> but only if you want to fix things, really
[20:10] <FFEMTcJ> gotcha.
[20:11] <FFEMTcJ> i was thinkin about doing that on a vm
[20:12] <ajmitch> it's the safest way to do it
[20:12] <ajmitch> rather than being left with an unbootable computer at some point
[20:13] <jdong> use the ring
[20:13] <jdong> (tm)
[20:13] <jdong> or a software emulation of it.
[20:13]  * ajmitch usually waits a month or more before putting a development release on real hardware
[20:17] <ajmitch> has it been decided if we'll kepp python2.5 in universe for lucid?
[20:19] <ScottK> ajmitch: It's already not a supported Python version so modules aren't built for it.  Not sure what the point would be.
[20:20] <ajmitch> ok, that'll make things fun for some projects
[20:20] <geser> ajmitch: as we still have python3.0 in universe, I guess we can keep python2.5 too
[20:21] <cody-somerville> ajmitch, I fixed yer' bug fyi
[20:21] <ajmitch> cody-somerville: oh that's no fun
[20:22] <siretart`> Whoopie: sorry? I'm not sure I understand the question
[20:22]  * ajmitch should have assigned to self to not waste the time
[20:22] <Whoopie> siretart`: why did you mention motumedia PPA?
[20:23] <siretart`> Whoopie: oh, that was related to "having fixed packages for karmic and earlier"
[20:32] <Whoopie> siretart`: ok, I have debdiffs for karmic-proposed and lucid. where to send?
