directhextip for the day: writing a full dep5 debian/copyright for 39k source files is hard work00:14
slangasekdirecthex: dep5 says nothing about the granularity you should provide, you know00:42
directhexslangasek, all copyright holders need listing in the appropriately licensed chunks, though. i'm *heavily* abusing wildcards to make life more bearable than it could be00:44
mdeslaurasac: do you mind if I merge liferea?00:44
smoserpersia, hm... i pulled from lp:ubuntu/ubuntu-dev-tools00:45
slangasekdirecthex: well, you only have to list all copyright holders if the license or Policy requires it... dep5 only defines the format :)00:45
directhexslangasek, the aim is to avoid REJECT. experience teaches over-thoroughness is a more successful path than under-thoroughness00:46
persiasmoser: Perhaps that's out of date.  Trunk is at lp:ubuntu-dev-tools.  This may change at some point.00:46
persiasmoser: Once you've rebased, please push somewhere, and I'll redo my tgz handling based on your branch.00:49

smoseri've got to run, so i didn't test the merge... i had tested what i had before at least for union01:05
keessmoser, persia: ran out of time today, but if you work from smoser's branch, I'll be able to pull it in quickly (i'm working from his branch too)01:23
persiasmoser's branch is way cooler than mine was, and mine has since been discarded :)01:27

Caesarslangasek: autofs is a dummy package in main01:31
slangasekCaesar: hi01:31
Caesarslangasek: autofs-ldap is a real package in universe claiming to be from the autofs source package01:31
Caesarit's possible to install autofs5 (via autofs) and still have autofs-ldap01:31
CaesarWhat should I file the bug against?01:31
Caesarand trying to install autofs after autofs5 has been installed produced ugly errors01:32
slangasekwhat's your target outcome?  autofs-ldap auto-upgraded to autofs5-ldap, or autofs restored as a real package?01:32
CaesarIt sounds like autofs-ldap (and friends) needs to go/become a dummy package01:35
slangasekok, please file it on autofs then01:36
CaesarIs it normal for dummy packages to be uninstallable after removal?01:36
slangasekany package in the archive should be installable01:36
slangasekif it's not installable, it shouldn't need to be there at all01:36
Caesarautofs (dummy package) is not installable when autofs5 is installed01:36
slangasekyah, autofs5 Conflicts: autofs; that's not right01:37

james_win that case using import-dsc will work if you create something that builds a source package, do so, and then import it to a fresh branch09:47

saispomdeslaur: have you tried to create a qemu-arm machine and try to boot it under a Debian iso image ?13:43
mdeslaursaispo: no, I haven't13:45
ograsaispo, use qemu-arm-static and use a chroot ... way faster than a full VM ... has issues with mono though13:46
ogra(and feel free to drop by in #ubuntu-arm for issues ;) )13:46
saispoogra: ok, thanks13:48
dholbachcjwatson: regarding the DMB minutes: the DMB can't be made owner of ~universe-contributors by the CC, only the TB can (MC is owner right now which is owned by the TB)13:50
persiasaispo: If you install the newest ubuntu-dev-tools, you can use pbuilder-dist or mk-sbuild-lv to create an emulated chroot.13:50
persiahyperair: There is work going on to make emulated powerpc chroots work, but it's not complete.  Needs lots of merging from Debian.13:50
hyperairpersia: ooh cool.13:51
saispook persia, will see that13:51
hyperairpersia: i tried running qemu with the openbios-ppc bios, but it kept hanging.13:51
saispoand where i can find openbios for sparc and ppc ?13:51
persiaYou need to get a new openbios-ppc: there's an issue with Soyuz that means we can't build it in Ubuntu right now :(13:51
persiasaispo: You need to find someone to build you one, or try using Debian's.13:52
saispook13:52
saispothanks13:52
cjwatsondholbach: if the CC tells us we may, then a TB member can change the ownership.  However what I heard seemed to indicate that this was something for the CC to authorise, which is why I didn't Just Do It13:52
persiahyperair: If you're up for it, try looking at the Debian "qemu" package, and see what bits from the "qemu-user-static" binary you can merge with the Ubuntu "qemu-kvm" package.13:53
persiacjwatson: The CC has authorised the action in a vote in a meeting, but didn't specifically authorise the TB to take that action.  I'm not sure how picky we ought be :)13:53
hyperairhmm okay, if i've got time13:53
dholbachcjwatson: gotcha, I will send a mail13:56
ograpersia, i talked to vagrantc in portland, he said ppc is far from stable13:56
ograpersia, dont pull it into pbuilder yet, i'll give you a heads up if i get one from him (he is doing the work on the static parts)13:57
persiaogra: Yep.  Sparc is apparently even less well, and we can't currently build openbios for either, which makes using them tricky, *but* it's especially hard to fix when we don't have it available at all :)13:57
ograi dont think there is any work going on for a sparc static port yet13:58
persiaMy big fancy plan for emulated build systems for developers was to generalise the wrapped debootstrap calls, and then generalise the links in the tools.  Some stuff won't work, but getting it to work or not work shouldn't affect the tools.13:58
persiaThe SPARC static port is committed, but apparently doesn't work well enough to talk about much yet.13:58
persiaI don't know of any ia64 static work being done though.13:59

smoserpersia, just wondering, why would you prefer tarball to directory in schroot ?14:08
vishdholbach: hi... i noticed the branding for the 5-a-day team is missing.. since you are the team owner and the only one who can upload it.. could you have a look at > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1325768/5-bold.png   or  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1325768/5-thin.png 14px icons14:08
persiasmoser: 1) Takes up less space, 2) is one of the steps towards getting a working pbuilder->sbuild conversion script, which is itself a step towards helping pbuilder users use the ubuntu-security-tools stuff.14:09
persiasmoser: But I left the default to directory, just added support for --type file14:09
smoseri'm not complaining, hadn't seen your changes, just wondering14:09
dholbachvish: aren't they both the same? :)14:09
smoserthe big benefit of the directory (for me at lesat) is speed14:09
vishdholbach: hmm , one is a bold 5 other one is thin ..14:10
persiasmoser: lp:~persia/ubuntu-dev-tools/more-schroot-types : it's complex enough I didn't want to commit without review.14:10
dholbachvish: oh sorry yes14:10
vishdholbach: just giving you options ;) you can choose which ever you like ;)14:11
dholbachcool14:11
dholbachvish: changed14:12
vishdholbach: neat thanks :)14:12
dholbachthank you14:12
smoserpersia, just quickly looking at diff, i like the general cleanups14:18
persiaSome of them are from kees, but I wanted to generalise.  I don't see any reason why we couldn't support all SCHROOT_TYPE variants, although only tgz advances my personal agenda, and I'm far too susceptible to episodes of yak-shaving to look at the rest right now.14:20
persiasmoser: If you'd like, adding in candidate templates and support for all of them would make this a significantly more generalised tool, and might even be suitable for inclusion in schroot rather than being separate.14:21
persia(although that does remove the chance of abstracting the mirror detection code, etc. and sharing between pbuilder-dist and mk-sbuild (but I was kinda stuck on that anyway as writing code that works for both shell and python can be tricky))14:22
dholbachzul: can you maybe change the maintainer field to use ubuntu-devel-discuss@ instead? (update-maintainer of the ubuntu-dev-tools package does it automatically for you)14:36
zuldholbach: yep ill do that14:38
keespersia: I've merged the "file" type now.  thanks!15:12
keesheya BenC15:13
BenCkees: hey dude15:13
persiakees: Thanks.  I think it's now general enough to support the rest of the SCHROOT_TYPE values, if you find a volunteer ;)15:13
keespersia: yeah, probably.  I'm curious to do timing tests now between lvm-snapshot, directory, and file.15:14
persiadirectory will be fastest.  RAOF did some testing, and at least for some hardware, file is faster than lvm-snapshot.15:15
keeslvm-snapshot ends really quickly because it just releases the snapshot, but directory doesn't have to go through dm redirection.15:15
keeswell, the main speed issue with lvm-snapshot is doing the build itself in the lv, which I side-step locally by mounting a common build directory.15:15
persiaBut I think it depends on available RAM, etc.  Plus I suspect we ought have this discussion when we're both not pretending to pay attention to another channel :)15:15
