LucidFoxUgh, Compiz in Karmic is seriously unstable.05:09
lifelessas compared to what ? :)05:09
LucidFoxJaunty.05:09
LucidFoxIt keeps crashing.05:09
LucidFoxGuess what, X crashed. May be the NVIDIA drivers...05:12
StevenKLucidFox: Nvidia drivers + compiz + Karmic for me has been solid ?05:13
LucidFoxNot for me.05:14
StevenKFile a bug with a backtrace from compiz, if one is obtainable?05:14
fabrice_sp_hmm, surelly a dumb question, but why MOTU can't upload sync from Debian to the archive as a normal package?05:17
StevenKfabrice_sp_: Because Ubuntu doesn't have a distribution called 'unstable'05:18
lifelessStevenK: well, you can override that in genchanges05:18
StevenKSsshh!05:18
lifelessfabrice_sp_: because, over-all, we find it easier this way :)05:19
lifelessfabrice_sp_: there are a number of autoamted changes we make to syncs05:19
lifelesslike the X-Original-blah fields05:19
lifelessso a sync really means 'make only the expected programmatic changes'05:19
fabrice_sp_Ok, but they could be made by a script also. I was just trying to remove some work from our lovelly archive admin :-)05:20
fabrice_sp_admins05:20
lifelessthey have a script ;)05:20
fabrice_sp_seeing what they paste in the sync request bug report, I can imagine that :-)05:21

ubottuLaunchpad bug 482155 in cpufire-applet "Please sync cpufire-applet 1.6-1 (universe) from Debian testing (main)." [Wishlist,Triaged]08:31
directhexno. a sync re-uses the source package from debian08:38
fcuk112you mean using uscan -verbose?  what if it can't find anything?  should i be editing something to point to the correct location?08:41

siretart`a change is a change is a change. - IOW: morning, folks!10:02

AnAntHello, do the builder on launchpad use sbuild or pbuilder ?12:33
directhexi think the PPA's use pbuilder? i think?12:35
nicoInattendumok0 : Do I attach the verification-needed tag to both bugs ?12:37
gesersbuild (probably a modified version)12:38
LucidFoxBoth the PPA and Ubuntu archive builders use sbuild.12:39
LucidFoxI think they even use the same build servers, no?12:39
tsimpsonservers can either be for PPA use or for distro use12:39
geserdon't know as PPA uses virtualised buildds while the official buildds use non-virtualised ones12:40
tsimpsonbut they can be changed between those12:40
directhexs' all virtualized anyway, so it hardly makes a difference12:40

geserare the programm and the library two different sources?16:53
dennis_yes16:53
geserthen package the library first and let the programm build-depend on the -dev package from that library16:54
dennis_but thats the problem the library needs the program to compile16:56
dennis_and the program the library^^16:56
geseroh16:57
dennis_but they are two sources but one upstream16:57
geserhow does upstream solve this bootstraping problem?16:57
dennis_I think he has his folders on his pc and so his library finds the program source16:58
dennis_folder structure16:58
AnAntwierd could it be that dh_install -Xstring- could be not working right in non-i386 archs ?17:00
geserdennis_: does the lib need the source files from the program or the compiled program itself?17:00
dennis_geser, it needs the program source code17:01
dennis_geser, how do I package only the source code, is this possible? So maybe the lib could depend on this?17:03
