superm1slangasek, i didn't even see an attempt at a mythbuntu build for 11-29 in http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/cd-build-logs/mythbuntu/lucid/ but other *buntus were built on 11-29.  any ideas what's going on?01:22
superm1i recently made some seed changes, so i'm hoping i didn't bork things badly suddenly01:22

\shwho is responsible for the "requestsync" tool? It gives me a wrong information, regarding a version in sid and a version in ubuntu...10:11
ogradoko, did you already switch the gcc defaults to implicit-it for armel (i dont see it mentioned in the changelog)10:13
geser\sh: any dev can fix it. What problem do you have exactly?10:15
dokoogra: no10:15
\shgeser, e.g. shermann@wz-pc-010:~$ requestsync -d sid --lp ampache lucid10:16
\shE: The versions in Debian and Ubuntu are the same already (3.5.1-2). Aborting.10:16
ogradoko, but you plan to, right ?10:16
\shgeser, ampache in sid : 3.5.2-1 and in ubuntu  3.5.1-210:16
dokopitti: please promote the binary xz-utils package (source already in main, eglibc now b-d's on it)10:16
\shgeser, the same happens with s/sid/unstable/10:17
\shgeser, I tested this on 3 different installations of karmic ... so IMHO it's a bug in requestsync or whereever the info comes from10:17
geser\sh: with the --lp flag requestsync uses the LP debian "mirror" (through the LP API) to look up versions and https://edge.launchpad.net/debian/+source/ampache still lists the old version10:18
\shargl10:18
geserwhen you omit the --lp it will don't use any LP API (rmadison instead) and mail the sync request10:18
dholbachttx: somebody requested a sync of libaopalliance-java - does it matter if it depends on default-jre vs default-jre-headless?10:20
geser\sh: I guess you can't sync ampache anyways as it uses "Format: 3.0 (quilt)10:20
geser"10:20
ttxdholbach: I was just looking at those. Yes it matters, and there is another patch that was not merged10:20
dholbachalrighty10:21
ttxI'll update the bug accordingly10:21
dholbachrock on!10:21
* dholbach hugs ttx10:21
ttxjI just need to doublecheck that there weren't some silent fixes in debian, but I doubt it10:21
\shgeser, do you think it's fair enough to do a fakesync?10:21
geser\sh: not until LP accepts Format 3.0 packages or you change it back to Format 1.0 (don't know how much work that is)10:22
\shgeser, rm -Rvf debian/source ;) that's all...I already have this version running on my local ampache server :)10:22
geserin that case it's IMHO OK to do a fakesync10:24

ttxpitti: question about subcycle tracking in WorkItemsHowto -- when a spec has alpha-2 items and some later items but you still want to correctly track alpha-2 completion, I can use the subsection trick described in the doc, but should the blueprint be targeted to alpha-2 or to final ? (or changed to final just after alpha-2 ?)11:17
ttxpitti: example: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-lucid-eucalyptus-karmic-retrospective11:18
ttxpitti: last three items are obviously post alpha-2 but all the others should be completed by alpha-211:18
pittittx: if you want it to appear on the server-lucid-alpha2 burndown, target it to alpha-2, and untarget after alpha-2 was released11:18
ttxpitti: ok, makes sense. Thanks !11:19
geserpitti: debian/tmp/usr/bin/PionHelloServer: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped11:24
pittigeser: hm, that looks fine; I wonder why objcopy -R .gnu_debuglink --add-gnu-debuglink doesn't work then11:25
geserpitti: here are the last lines when run with DH_VERBOSE=1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/331612/11:30
geserpitti: it succeeds when I change the call from dh_strip -k to dh_strip (but fails afterwards due to missing files)11:33
maxbDoes anyone know when james_w is likely to be back?11:44
seb128maxb, he should be back today11:58
geserpitti: found the problem: the dh_strip wrapper knows about --keep-debug but not about its short name -k. Could you please apply http://paste.ubuntu.com/331631/ to dh_strip from pkg-create-dbgsym?11:58

sorenI have a build that works on powerpc and sparc, but fails everywhere else.13:01
sorenhm.13:01
sorenOk.13:01
lamontppc has dapper because the hardy kernel didn't actually work with the hardware in question, istr13:01
lamontthough testing that with a more current release of the OS is in plan13:02
sorenYeah, that sounds vaguely familiar.13:02
sorenOh, sorry, not sparc. armel.13:02
lamontarmel == jaunty13:02
sorenarmel and powerpc work. None of the other. Upstream suggested it might be the HZ setting.13:02
lamontnote also that there is absolutely no guarantee or even hint that HZ will be the same on the build machines as it is on the end-user machine...13:07

mptincluding ttf-mgopen and ttf-sil-gentium, and excluding fontforge-extras :-)14:59
mvoI think we should consider this wrong section use a bug14:59

faganmpt: while we are the the software center, any thoughts on packaging up plugins for applications?15:00

mptmvo, so when Synaptic says "Fonts (universe)", does that mean there's a "Fonts" section in Ubuntu generally, and it just happens to have packages only in Universe? Or is the section actually called "Fonts (universe)"?15:49
mpthm, I see apt-cache show shows "Section: universe/fonts"15:50
mptWhy is the "universe/" there?15:50
mvompt: it means that it did not find anything in fonts, only fonts/universe15:51
mptfagan, I do intend to spec how plug-ins and extensions will be shown in a much more helpful way <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Presenting%20add-on%20packages>15:52
mptfagan, but in general, I think the more integrated plug-in/extension installation is with the actual program that uses it, the better15:52
mptfagan, for example, a directory of installable screensavers probably would work better in the Screensaver preferences than in the USC15:53
ulathhi, wich package do i need to develop kde4 apps in kdevelop3 on kubuntu 9.04 ?16:08
ulathwhen i start the "new project" wizward there are no kde4 applications availible16:09

ubottuLaunchpad bug 460089 in eucalyptus "network state is lost if the cluster controller (CC) is stopped" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/46008916:20
ttxpitti: kirkland will upload a 7.4 with a one-liner fix [ "${CLEAN}" = 1 ] -> [ "${CLEAN}" = "1" ] to fix that and we'll restart the SRU testing process (again).16:21
kirklandpitti: the change ttx speaks of is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/331811/16:22
ttxpitti: though, given the impact of the one-liner, testing should actually go fast16:22
kirklandpitti: I think it should be a pretty clear shell bug16:22
ttxand we still hope to publish that SRU soon.16:22
ttxpitti: so please reject eucalyptus...-ubuntu7.3 from -proposed, we'll upload and fast-track a new one.16:25

pittittx: hm, 1 or "1" shouldn't make a difference..16:25
ttxkirkland: ^16:26
pittittx: I can't "reject" it, and I don't think we should remove it from -proposed after such a long time16:26
pittittx: we can of course get a new one into -proposed16:26
ttxpitti: ok16:26
pittittx, kirkland: if you do a new upload, please include the previous changelog with -v16:26

superm1maybe i shouldn't feed a troll, but rcbwnka if you have particular things to complain about, it's more constructive to provide specifics about them on bugs than whining "everything is broke, FIX IT" on irc.  Eg, pulseaudio is bad at Y because ubuntu is missing patch X that fedora has, or ubuntu patch Z is causing problems.18:22

superm1rcbwnka,  of course there is a pulseaudio maintainer in Ubuntu and he's watching other distros and upstream for patches all the time i'm sure, but if you have a particular oversight he missed, it's best to direct it to him on a bug in launchpad18:24

Keybuklifeless: right, and that doesn't make it show up as lp:ubuntu/upstart - which is the beginning of this conversation :p23:47
james_wthe importer will create one, or I can do it for you23:47
lifelessjames_w: are you able to tell the importer that a given branch is a *debian* packaging branch?23:48
james_wum, set it as lp:debian/foo23:49
lifelessyes23:49
lifelessand have imports from debian go into it.23:49
james_wyou mean from the Debian maintainer's Vcs-Bzr?23:50

james_wKeybuk: the importer will tell me that someone did a push --overwrite, then I will check that all is well and tell it to use your branch as they authoritative branch23:52
james_wmaco: it will be lp:ubuntu/update-manager, and perhaps lp:update-manager, but this conversation is partly about how to make that happen23:53
james_wthe rule will be use lp:ubuntu/<package> to get the content's of Ubuntu's <package>23:53
james_wwe're just not quite 100% yet23:53
james_wlifeless: I don't understand what you are asking for23:53

Keybukyou want to be able to commit to debian/bicyclerepairman ?23:54
Keybuk(to phrase the question properly?)23:54
lifelessAnd for imports the importer does from debian to go to that branch.23:54
lifelessKeybuk: actually python-testtools in this case, but yes.23:55
james_wlifeless: as I said, make lp:debian/foo point to that branch23:55
Keybukjames_w: maybe he's asking how to do that?23:56
lifelessjames_w: you said something about the Vcs-BZR control field23:56
james_wthe mechanics are exactly the same as Keybuk is asking about, I just haven't requested people come forward with suggestions23:56
lifelessjames_w: which confused me.23:56
lifelessjames_w: so, for things that we maintain in Debian, which is better ?23:57
lifelessand, does the importer know enough about only-synced packages to pull from lp:debian/foo23:58
