| wzssyqa | if i want to use dh_pysupport,where should i install the .so module? | 03:31 |
| wzssyqa | can dh_pysupport install modules for python of several versions,such as for both python2.6 and python3.1? | 04:35 |
| persia | That is precisely the reason it exists. | 04:36 |
| wzssyqa | persia: how to do it? | 04:36 |
| persia | wzssyqa: For that, I'm not the right person to ask. | 04:37 |
| wzssyqa | persia: who is the right man?i have googled for days | 04:37 |
| persia | Did you encounter the python policy document? I believe it explains things for module packagers. | 04:38 |
| wzssyqa | persia: it seems that just ask for copying files to /usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y | 04:38 |
| persia | I can't help if you get stuck, but I'd really recommend starting from http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ | 04:38 |
| persia | I'm sure that's wrong. | 04:39 |
| ScottK | Actually, I don't think pysupport works for Python3.1 yet. | 04:39 |
| ScottK | Definitely not /usr/local. | 04:39 |
| ScottK | POX_ is working on a new and better way to package things for Python 3. | 04:39 |

| ari-tczew | is FFe needed for new upstream release _necessary_ to get in lucid? | 10:41 |
| persia | ari-tczew: An FFe is required if new features are introduced. This is unrelated to version numbers or upstream releases. | 10:42 |
| persia | Frequently new upstream releases contain new features, which is why many believe an FFe is required for a new upstream release. | 10:43 |
| persia | also, note that we're currently in BetaFreeze, so please refrain from uploading anything that affects images until the freeze has lifted. | 10:44 |
| persia | (except if fixing a bug apparent in the images) | 10:44 |
| ari-tczew | persia, my request is for broken package (and ftbfs), fix is merging new upstream release with debian testing | 10:45 |
| ari-tczew | maybe do you want take a look ? | 10:45 |
| persia | ari-tczew: Does this involve new features? Is there a way to solve it without introducing the new features? Do these features affect anything else? (related packages, documentation, etc.) | 10:52 |
| ari-tczew | persia: this is package called xserver-xorg-input-joystick which currently ubuntu's version is related to xserver 1.6, but now lucid has got xserver 1.7 and xserver-xorg-input-joystick from debian testing is related to xserver 1.7 | 10:57 |
| persia | That doesn't answer any of my questions :) | 10:59 |
| ari-tczew | okay, so I think that there's no other way to fix problem | 11:01 |
| ari-tczew | and current debian testing's package is adjusted for xserver 1.7 | 11:02 |
| persia | ari-tczew: OK. That still leaves: Does this involve new features? Do these features affect anything else? (related packages, documentation, etc.) | 11:04 |

| ari-tczew | new features - I don't know. | 11:10 |
| persia | ari-tczew: Also, the merge is borderline useless in it's current state, as X no longer uses HAL. | 11:11 |
| persia | ari-tczew: Well, find out :) | 11:12 |
| persia | ari-tczew: There's a good chance that you do not need an FFe for this (depending on the results of your feature investigation). That said, I think that you also have to investigate to see if the merge does anything useful : it may be that a sync is sufficient. | 11:13 |
| ari-tczew | persia: great! but now I need to ask a delta uploader about delta utility | 11:16 |
| persia | ari-tczew: Well, you've asked for feedback from two teams for this bug, potentially wasting the time of both of them, because you don't know if it needs an FFe, and you don't know if the merge is correct. | 11:19 |
| persia | Please finish this before going to the next thing. | 11:19 |
| ari-tczew | persia: so what's the conclusion: FFe is need or not? | 11:21 |
| persia | ari-tczew: The conclusion is waiting on your investigation to determine if there are new features. | 11:22 |
| persia | ari-tczew: So, please investigate. | 11:22 |
| persia | ari-tczew: Also, please investigate whether the .fdi file is used or not when the driver is loaded into X. If it is not, then this becomes a sync. | 11:23 |
| ari-tczew | persia: ok, I'm unsubscribing teams | 11:30 |
| persia | You can't :) | 11:30 |
| ari-tczew | huh! a few days ago launchpad got option: if you have subscribed someone else, you can unsubscribe! | 11:31 |
| persia | Oh. That's great! Thanks. | 11:31 |
| persia | Please investigate, and resubscribe when the investigation is done. | 11:32 |
| persia | I'd personally like to see this update happen. | 11:32 |
| ari-tczew | persia: oh, this option propably is gone, could you unsubscribe sponsors? | 11:33 |
| persia | Sure. | 11:33 |
| persia | Because they are busy, you might want to ask the release team to unsubscribe in #ubuntu-release : this avoids then reviewing bugs that aren't ready for their review. | 11:34 |

| samgee | Hi. 'apt-cache show joe' shows "Section: universe/editors", but if I 'apt-get source joe' and dpkg-buildpackage it I get "Section: editors". What magic is involved to get it in universe? | 12:08 |
| geser | what you mean with "get it in universe"? | 12:11 |
| geser | joe is in universe | 12:11 |
| persia | samgee: There's an overrides file that changes things in the distributed packages. | 12:12 |
| samgee | persia, how does that work? any docs about that? | 12:14 |
| samgee | geser, I want the section to say "universe/editors" | 12:14 |
| persia | samgee: When something is published, the contents of the override, if present, override the package settings when generating Packages and Sources. You might find docs in the Soyuz docs, or for other archive management tools in their docs. | 12:15 |
| persia | samgee: You really don't care. If you download joe, you'll find it claims to be in Section: editors inside the package. | 12:15 |
| samgee | as a user I wouldn't care, but as a gNewSense developer I do need this | 12:16 |
| persia | The distinction is only important if one uses components to manage one's archive, which tends only to matter when one has some reason to differentiate thousands of packages. | 12:16 |
| persia | samgee: Which tool does gNewSense use to manage it's repository? | 12:17 |
| samgee | reprepro | 12:17 |
| samgee | well, reprepro and some bash scripting around that | 12:17 |
| persia | Then you need to investigate the reprepro docs to see if it supports Overrides. | 12:17 |
| * samgee checks | 12:18 | |
| persia | This is done by the archive management software, not in the individual packages. | 12:18 |
| samgee | for our repo we mirror the ubuntu repo and change some package by doing: apt-get source + change some stuff + dpkg-buildpackage | 12:19 |
| persia | OK. | 12:19 |
| samgee | in that process we lose the component, so all binaries go in main | 12:19 |
| samgee | and that's not what should be happening for e.g. linux | 12:19 |
| persia | The key bit is that the value "universe/editors" is not stored within the package. You don't have to do anything to the package to get it. | 12:20 |
| persia | You need to make the changes in the repository management software. | 12:20 |
| jpds | samgee: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/indices/ | 12:20 |
| samgee | jpds, that looks very useful, thanks | 12:21 |

| kamalm | randomaction: because the package FTBFS in Lucid without them. I don't know why Debian doesn't seem to need those additional build-deps: (libdirectfb-dev, libesd0-dev, libpulse-dev, libaa1-dev, libcaca-dev), and I couldn't find any single package that I could depend on that would bring them all in. | 14:54 |
| randomaction | I tried removing them, and the package built (so the only reason for FTBFS were the moc files). This was several days ago, I'll check again now. | 14:58 |
| kamalm | randomaction: oh really!? | 14:58 |
| kamalm | randomaction: I will try building without them again also (it was considerably more than several days ago that I did this work!) | 14:59 |

| kamalm | randomaction: you're right -- no additional build-deps aren't needed to build gnuradio in Lucid -- I'll investigate what made me believe otherwise (trying it in Karmic now). I did move the moc-removal into the clean target, which works fine. So, bug 260406 is now once again ready for review. | 16:05 |

| randomaction | kamalm: thank you, I'm already test-building | 16:06 |
| kamalm | randomaction: thank *you* for noticing the problems! | 16:07 |
| randomaction | What is the procedure for moving the package from multiverse to universe? Just file a bug and subscribe ubuntu-archive? | 16:08 |
| persia | randomaction: Well, first verify the license (not only debian/copyright, but the source again as well), but otherwise, yes. | 16:10 |
| randomaction | persia: Thanks. I have an additional clue that the package moved to main in Debian. | 16:16 |
| persia | That's usually a strong indication :) | 16:16 |

| * DktrKranz remembers something about turnin-ng :) | 16:50 | |
| MattJ | randomaction: thanks | 16:51 |
| ryanakca | DktrKranz: Hehe :D | 16:53 |
| DktrKranz | ryanakca: Fakesyncs used to have build1, but I remember there was some discussion on that. | 16:55 |
| Laney | did they? | 16:55 |
| DktrKranz | IIRC, yes | 16:56 |
| Laney | but then the autosyncer would try it | 16:56 |
| DktrKranz | so, in case of new upstream releases, they can be autosynced directly | 16:56 |
| DktrKranz | that was one of the topic during discussion | 16:57 |
| persia | Fakesyncs *never* had build1 | 16:57 |
| persia | That's always been wrong. | 16:58 |
| Laney | Nothing changed from that discussion anyway | 16:58 |
| DktrKranz | so I probably remember it wrong | 16:59 |
| persia | Well, a few people uploaded stuff with "fakesync1", but I think the conclusion was that this was a bug in the archive admin tools that ought be fixed. | 17:00 |
| DktrKranz | Indeed. | 17:02 |
| persia | Mind you, I don't know what version we're supposed to use until the bug is fixed. | 17:02 |
| persia | We probably ought make best efforts to not let that happen. | 17:03 |
| persia | DktrKranz: Do you know if UDD tracks artifact variance in a way that we can use to identify the outstanding issues? | 17:03 |
| DktrKranz | persia: do you mean md5sums for .orig.tar.* ? | 17:05 |
| persia | Well, I mean actual artifact identity, but checksum mismatches are a proxy for that :) | 17:05 |
| DktrKranz | I can have a look | 17:06 |
| DktrKranz | projectb (the monster behind Debian archive does), but its data is not available on public services | 17:07 |
| persia | I wonder if we oughtn't make some effort to resolve all of them over time. I imagine we ought be able to avoid new ones (and I think we've been doing a reasonable job of that). | 17:08 |
| DktrKranz | persia: from what I see, UDD tracks md5sums, so I can easily prepare a query to match them | 17:09 |
| persia | Oh, cool. Probably not worth promoting now, because of the freezes. | 17:10 |
| DktrKranz | definitely | 17:10 |
| persia | But I suspect we'll want to push to try to get back in sync as soon as squeeze releases, or so. | 17:10 |
| persia | (as I expect squeeze to be well-frozen by the time lucid releases) | 17:11 |
| DktrKranz | probably, RC count dropped recently, and RT could eventually see for a freeze soon | 17:11 |
| DktrKranz | but no assurance of that | 17:11 |
| persia | No, but the hints were all that it was expected for this month, so I'm guessing it'll happen in the next few weeks. | 17:13 |
| persia | (maybe April, but probably still before end-april) | 17:13 |
| ScottK | It had been scheduled for March, but ~ a month ago it was announced that it wouldn't happen yet. | 17:14 |
| persia | I saw that. I just have a feeling that it's close anyway. Maybe I'm wrong. | 17:14 |
| DktrKranz | persia: it's not that immediate as I thought, but I can easily integrate query with some Python to have a more precise picture, let's schedule it for {lucid,squeeze}+1 | 17:22 |
| persia | squeeze+1 is the right schedule, in my mind, because syncs are one-way, really. | 17:22 |
| persia | Where we are in Ubuntu doesn't matter, as long as we can overwrite in the next sweep of syncs. | 17:23 |
| slytherin | Do I need to add upstream fixes descriptions in debian/changelog when uploading a new bugfix only release? | 17:23 |
| persia | slytherin: If the upstream bugfixes are considered end-user-interesting, and the upstream changelog isn't in the package, yes. If the upstream changes are the justification for an upload while the archive is on manual-accept, yes. In all other cases, no. | 17:25 |
| persia | The archive is currently on manual-accept, by the way :) | 17:25 |
| slytherin | yes I know. That is why I asked. I will add the fixes. | 17:25 |
| persia | slytherin: Just add enough that are interesting to end-users and archive-admins, rather than all of them :) | 17:26 |
| slytherin | I will only add that are relevant to the contents of the package. | 17:26 |
| persia | Does anyone know a good workaround for Debian bug #284274? Is there a canned script somewhere? | 17:28 |
