matgeekHi!  I am a Debian Developer, and I look after the nomarch and I am the author and maintainer of netscript-2.4., and I am moving to host both on launchpad.  What's the story about becoming part of MOTU? As a DD, isn't there a fast-track joining process?00:58
matgeekMerry, merry, merry, Christmas!00:59
matgeekToo many presents for people to be IRCing?01:00

Ryan52Could somebody please sponsor this sync request? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/midori/+bug/453070 and it hasn't made it to Debian's archive yet (I uploaded it 5 minutes ago), so here's the source package: http://home.ryan52.info:4000/dev/unstable/midori_0.2.2-1.dsc02:44
ubottuUbuntu bug 453070 in midori "Please sync midori (0.2.2-1) from Debian unstable" [Wishlist,New]02:44
* Ryan52 wonders if he's gonna get anybody around on christmas eve/christmas..02:45
* Ryan52 also wonders why he can't just have the ability to do this stuff himself :(02:45

crimsunRyan52: likely by the time an archive admin with privileges gets around to it, it will be in either incoming or unstable02:47
crimsunI'm guessing with the holidays it's far more likely to be the latter02:47
Ryan52don't I need a MOTU, not a archive admin?02:47
Ryan52I mean don't a need a MOTU to subscribe the archive admins for me?02:48
Ryan52crimsun: and yes, I know it will be that time. however right now I'm asking for a MOTU to review it and approve it.02:49
crimsunhave you verified that it builds in a lucid schroot?02:49
crimsunsorry, chroot (not necessarily schroot)02:49
crimsunit's a lot easier for us if that information is in the bug report02:50
crimsunalso, the Debian component should be listed in the summary02:50
crimsun(I've already fixed that last bit)02:50
Ryan52okay, sorry, I just changed the old report...didn't notice that.02:51
Ryan52no I didn't test it in a chroot, I've never had to do that before.02:52
Ryan52but I will from now on.02:52
* Ryan52 is installing a lucid chroot as we speak..02:52
crimsunok, I'm around for a bit. Please update the bug report and ping me.02:52
bjsnidercrimsun, if i run dch -i, it slaps a ubuntux string onto a package version. how do i change that?02:55
crimsunbjsnider: explicitly pass the desired version with -v02:58
bjsniderthanks, i was looking for a config file i could change02:59
ScottKbjsnider: You can dch -q and then remove the first line about QA upload.04:19
bjsniderScottK, thanks, that works, although i guess it's a...workaround?05:01
diwicI'm trying to create a pbuilder but it fails with chroot: cannot run command `/usr/bin/apt-get': No such file or directory05:18
crimsunwhich release?05:18
diwiccrimsun: Host is Ubuntu Karmic. Guest is sid (have tried squeeze as well)05:19
crimsuncp /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/pbuilder-distribution.sh ~/pbuilder-sid && mkdir -p ~/pbuilder/result && ~/pbuilder-sid create05:22
crimsunworks for me (just tried it in a lucid chroot)05:22
crimsunjust verified in a karmic chroot, too05:23
diwiccrimsun: thanks and merry christmas (if you celebrate that :-) )05:24
diwiccrimsun: I'll try it right away05:25
diwiccrimsun: hmm...do you need a .pbuilderrc to go with that one?05:29
crimsunnope05:29
diwiccrimsun: E: Failed getting release file http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/sid/Release05:30
crimsunhmm05:30
crimsunare you using a local apt proxy/cacher, e.g., apt-cacher-ng ?05:30
diwiccrimsun: not that I know of05:30
crimsunthe only time I've seen that error is when trying to use a local (misconfigured) apt proxy05:32
crimsundoes something like "sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd sid ~/pbuilder/sid http://http.se.debian.org/debian/" work?05:33
diwiccrimsun: No: E: Invalid Release file, no valid components05:34
diwiccrimsun: trying ftp instead, seems to work better...05:35
diwiccrimsun: that command worked.05:39
diwiccrimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/346276/ for the original error05:39
diwic...in context05:40
diwicperhaps I should try to switch from the se mirror in karmic05:48
ScottKbjsnider: I don't think it's a bug that dch in Ubuntu is optimized for working on Ubuntu.05:49
crimsunScottK: agreed05:49
=== Guest78452 is now known as NCommander
diwicso now I've changed /etc/apt/sources.list and "sudo apt-get update". Yet I get E: Failed getting release file http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/sid/Release :-(05:57
crimsundiwic: corking is interrupting, aka pausing06:01
diwiccrimsun: so is the log a result of tsched=0 being broken?06:02
crimsunno, it's a result of the device being woken up too often06:03
crimsunsee the recent post regarding pcm lib wakeups on alsa-devel06:03
crimsuntsched is broken, however, and the symptom is exacerbated by both alsa-lib and PA06:05
crimsuntsched=0 *06:05
diwic"tsched=0 *" ?06:09
crimsunmy previous statement was ambiguous; I meant "tsched=0" (glitch-free disabled) is broken, not "both tsched=1 (glitch-free enabled) and tsched=0 (disabled) are broken"06:10
diwiccrimsun: ok. I was almost assuming it was a snowflake :-)06:11
foxbuntubjsnider, fyi, I am building myth with newest vdpau from debian and your package of 190.53 drivers, my ppa ( https://launchpad.net/~nickj-fox/+archive/ppa/+packages )06:14
diwicfinally got the pbuilder up and running, by specifying --debootstrapopts --include apt06:49
diwicbut I can't build anything from it because it hangs on "Building database of manual pages ..."06:52
diwicsigh.06:52
diwicInteresting enough, when this happens, aptitude and mandb takes 100% each of one processor core06:57
ScottKThat step often takes a long time for me, but always finishes eventually07:03
crimsundepending on the build-deps installed, it sometimes takes about 5 minutes07:03
diwicok, then I'll just wait and see...07:04
crimsunhmm, need to find testers. Will write up a RFT after the holiday.07:06
* crimsun just committed fixes for all the HDA codecs except VIA for powerdown sound issues07:06
diwiccrimsun: realtek ALC888 here (on a desktop computer)07:08
diwiccrimsun: feel free to bug me if you need me to test anything.07:09

erableHi. I want to use the new source format 3.0 (quilt) in REVU. The original archive is a tar.bz2 and I have this warning in REVU: "Warning! This package could not be extracted; there’s no browsable directory for it on REVU. "11:51
erablepackage is: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/yawp11:51
erableWhat's wrong?11:52
Quintasanerable: REVU doesn't support 3.0 at least it didn't want to accept my package11:52
erableThanks. Do you know if it will soon be able to handle this format?11:56
=== santiago-ve is now known as Guest69801
Quintasanerable: beats me, it's a good idea to poke revu admins12:01

chromebelhello people17:30
chromebelI'm Debian maintainer of tclxml package17:31
geserhello17:31
chromebelit was orphaned by the previous maintainer (which is the current maintainer of it in Ubuntu)17:31
chromebelI've updated the Debian package to the latest upstream version17:32
chromebelcan Ubuntu "just import" the package, or I need to do something?17:32
geserit will be "just imported"17:33
chromebelah, then ok17:33
chromebelok, thanks, bye (c)17:34
geserit's now in testing so it will be autosynced on the next occasion (probably in 2010 due to holidays/vacations)17:34

bjsnidergeser, when you say "autosync", is that a process that is carried out without human intervention?19:12
jmarsdenbjsnider: It's done by the admins once in a while, I believe.19:13
bjsniderso it isn't really automaic at all19:13
geserit semi-automatic, the archive admin-of-the-day has to start a script19:15
bjsnidera script that grabs updated packages and tosses them into the ubuntu build system?19:16
geseryes, it pulls new packages and injects them into the archive, which causes the necessary build attempts19:17

dhillon-v10bjsnider, hi :D i am sorry about yesterday, I had to leave while something urgent came up and you were in the middle of making the tarball23:38
bjsniderdhillon-v10, tarball for what?23:46
dhillon-v10bjsnider, the package we were talking about yesterday23:46
bjsniderthe one that does 3g sharing?23:47
dhillon-v10bjsnider, yah that one23:47
bjsniderwell, there's no source code or license info there so that's the end of that idea23:48
dhillon-v10bjsnider, yah I just have to choose a different package them, I will mark that bug invalid because of the upstream problems23:49
bjsniderwhy doesn't network-manager do 3g sharing?23:50
bjsnideror connection sharing anyway23:50
dhillon-v10bjsnider, no idea :D I just saw this random bug so started working on it23:50
bjsnideryou mean you didn't even want the software?23:53
dhillon-v10bjsnider, i didn't need that someone else reported a needs-packaging bug so I was working on it23:54
bjsnidermark it as invalid because the license and source code aren't available23:55
bjsniderbut really it's a feature that hould be added to network-manager23:55
dhillon-v10bjsnider, yah did that thanks for all your help :D23:56
