robert_ancell_how do I get a build to restart?  I updated file-roller a few days ago and it failed to build due to libgtk being broken at the time (https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/2.29.2-0ubuntu1)02:44
=== robert_ancell_ is now known as robert_ancell
RAOFrobert_ancell: Does https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/2.29.2-0ubuntu1/+build/1378313 have a "rebuild" button for you?  I think that's where it'd be (I don't have main priviledges, so I can't see it)02:51
robert_ancellRAOF, no it doesn't for me.  I only have MOTU privileges but I don't have a rebuild option for Universe packages either02:53
ScottKrobert_ancell: Is it just amd64 or all archs you want done?02:53
robert_ancellScottK: all arches for this one.  I also did an xscreensaver one a while back that needs rebuilding for ia64 and sparc02:54
ScottKrobert_ancell: file-roller retried on all archs02:58
robert_ancellScottK, thanks.  This seems to happen quite a lot - do I just ping someone with main privileges when it occurs?02:59
ScottKYep.02:59
Amaranthweird, robert_ancell should be able to trigger a rebuild of file-roller03:05
Amaranthsince he has ubuntu-desktop access03:05
AmaranthI can trigger rebuilds of compiz, anyway03:05
Amaranthmaybe the extra layer of indirection screws it up03:06
robert_ancellAmaranth, how do you trigger them?03:06
Amaranthrobert_ancell: iirc from the build page, let me check the armel failed build to be sure03:06
robert_ancellAmaranth, they've all failed build but at least now I can see the problem03:07
Amaranthrobert_ancell: on https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/1:0.8.4-0ubuntu6/+build/1379618 I have a "Retry this build" option03:07
robert_ancellAmaranth, I don't03:07
Amaranthis compiz in the ubuntu-desktop set? it should be but you never know03:08
robert_ancellAmaranth, not sure but file-roller definitely is (I did the upload directly)03:08
* Amaranth looks for something in universe that failed to build03:09
jmarsdenAmaranth: Yes, you can do   tasksel --task-packages ubuntu-desktop | grep compiz     # to check03:09
micahgis there a place where I can see the list of stuff waiting to be approved for -proposed?03:09
Amaranthjmarsden: Is that the same data launchpad uses for permissions?03:09
jmarsdenAmaranth: I have no idea :)  As a user/sysadmin, it is how I check what is in the various task bundles...03:10
robert_ancellAmaranth, can you see a rebuild option here: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/5.10-3ubuntu1/+build/137540303:10
Amaranthno03:10
Amaranthdid ScottK already trigger a rebuild for that though?03:10
ajmitchno03:11
ajmitchit shows up for me03:11
Amaranthoh, it's in main03:11
ScottKAmaranth: No, I just did file-roller03:11
ajmitch(since I'm in core-dev)03:11
AmaranthI only have compiz and MOTU access :)03:11
ajmitchmaybe you can retry compiz builds because of direct permissions to upload it03:11
Amaranthright03:11
micahgScottK: is there a place where I can see the list of stuff waiting to be approved for -proposed?03:11
Amaranthbut motu access is based on teams too so it's a bug caused by robert_ancell only having access via a team you'd think it'd be broken there too03:12
Amaranthso if it's*03:12
robert_ancellAmaranth, how come you see them for compiz?03:12
ajmitchmotu access is based on the component, I think the packe sets are overlaid on that03:12
Amaranthrobert_ancell: I have direct compiz upload permissions03:12
ajmitchit's all confusing :)03:12
Amaranthok, so it most likely is a bug caused by robert_ancell only having access via a team03:13
ajmitchpossibly03:13
robert_ancellajmitch, totally :)03:13
ajmitchfile a bug about it :)03:13

cjwatsonslytherin: it's all calculated from the changelog version10:09
cjwatsontseliot: I'm not sure we do at the moment, but we need to10:09
slytherincjwatson: So someone will have to bump the version for ports-meta right?10:10
cjwatsontseliot: actually, is "safe mode" still needed? can we use bullet-proof-x instead? we have a spec that calls for that ...10:10
cjwatsonslytherin: yes10:10
slytherincjwatson: TheMuso usually bumps the version for ports-meta. But he is not around. Any idea who is the best person?10:11
slytherinI mean 'next best person'.10:12
tseliotcjwatson: we were discussing the use case in which you need to pass vesa and nomodeset. Bullet-proof-x wouldn't work in this case10:12
cjwatsontseliot: but we don't pass nomodeset anywhere right now?10:13

faganmpt: It is used by %s piece of installed software."16:35
faganWhat would be better than that?16:35
mptfagan, first I need to know what it's there for16:35
mptIs it something to do with dependencies?16:35
faganyep16:35
faganfor packages16:36
faganI think it should be "This package is used by...16:36
mptSo does it mean "X other packages depend on this one?" (not saying that's a good replacement, just trying to understand it)16:36
faganIt does16:36
faganThere are also recommended and suggested strings too16:37
mptSo if you click "Remove", you should get the alert shown here <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#removing>16:37
mptDo you?16:37
fagannope is shows that in the info16:38
pittimbiebl, Keybuk: Debian's dbus installs the library into /lib now, but the daemon is still in /usr/bin/; does upstart need the daemon in /bin, too?16:38
faganI attached a screenshot to the bug of how it looks now16:38
* pitti isn't sure whether to keep our change for this16:38
Keybukpitti: no, doesn't need the Daemon16:39
Keybukthough if Debian put it in /bin now, we don't *need* it in /usr16:39
mptfagan, ok, so it's a bug to report that that alert isn't implemented -- we can remove the need for it in the software item screen itself by showing the information inline, but not everyone will be on that screen when they choose to remove the item.16:39
pittiKeybuk: other way round; we install the daemon into /bin so far, but Debian doesn't16:40
Keybukpitti: oh right16:40
pittiKeybuk: Debian only moved the library to /lib, not the rest16:40
Keybukah16:40
KeybukI remember16:40
Keybukthings break if you have /usr-on-NFS if dbus isn't in /16:40
Keybuksince you need D-Bus to get networking16:40
pittiah, alrighty16:40
pittiwill move it then16:40
pittibut adapt our changes to use the debian configure flags, so that our delta gets smaller16:41
Keybuk*nods*16:41
faganmpt: ah, so we should have some sort of alert that they are removing something that has a depends on that package16:41
faganBut not of suggests or reccomends16:41
mptfagan, yes, i.e. the alert shown in step 5 in the spec16:41
mptfagan, Suggests and Recommends, I don't know16:42
mptSome collected examples of that situation might make that easier to design16:42
faganWell a program might suggest or reccomend a plugin but it doesnt affect the program if its not installed. So I dont think we need an alert for them16:44
ScottKfagan: If it doesn't affect the program, it probably shouldn't be recommends.16:47
faganhmmm I always thought that recommends was just a slightly more important suggests16:48
ScottKNo, recommends should be installed except in unusual circumtances.  Suggests is pure nice to have.16:50
faganOh16:50
faganSo then maybe we should warn if a reccomended package is removed16:51

faganmpt: should we be using the word "package" or is that a term humans would have trouble with?16:52
mptfagan, see <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#def-software-item> for why we don't refer to "packages" unless we're really sure that's what we mean16:53
mptfagan, having said that, it might make sense to use "package" in that specific case, because it's packages which are dependent, not software items16:53
faganmpt: thats what I was thinking16:54
fagan(because we are refering to the packages themselves)16:54
faganI have a patch if you want to switch from "pieces of installed software" to "installed packages"16:56
faganmpt: ^ is that good?16:56
* fagan attaches it to the bug report16:57
mptfagan, changing it to "installed software packages" would be better than it is now. The next step would be thinking about whether it should list the dependent packages somewhere.16:57
