tick-tockdpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file ...08:42
tick-tocksomething to worry about? what does it mean?08:42

asacsiretart: answered16:01
siretartasac: so you believe that mozilla breaks API even in libmozjs.so? :-/16:05
siretartI'll discuss that with darren (gxine upstream)16:05
AnAntI had to compile Debian's xulrunner package to get  libmozjs* packages16:06

ubottuLaunchpad bug 543679 in ubuntu "Add a plymouth theme for sabily" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54367916:07
asacsiretart: they explicitly said that16:08
siretartasac: what happened to the xulrunner package in lucid?16:08
asacsiretart: yes, please go upstream and tell them that in the end libmozjs.so is nothing they can use16:08
siretartcan't we build libmozjs from that?16:08
asacsiretart: that was 1.816:08
asacand has about 1000 security issues16:08
asacit was removed (and should have been removed 3 cycles ago)16:08
siretartand, and therefore it got revmoved?16:08
siretarthm bad16:08
siretartwell, gxine needs an javascript interpreter16:09
asacso that it was there was just luck16:09
asacsiretart: yes, its a bad situation16:09
siretartwill the same happen in debian as well?16:09
asaci think the gnome js is the only one16:09
siretartwhat's about 'gnome js'?16:09
asacsiretart: not sure. debian likes to fly without eyes16:09
asacapparently16:09
AnAntgnome js ?16:10
siretartdoes gnome ship their own js interpreter?16:10
asacor mike things he can unbreak ABI/API which imo only two guys could do that are hired by moz16:10
asacsiretart: it hink libseed or something16:10
asacso seems they use webkit16:10
asacthat probably has other issues16:11
AnAntis that SEE ?16:11
asacbecause webkit is not security maintainable ;)16:11
siretartasac: why not?16:11
asacbut i dont care. so yeah. gong there is better than libmozjs that explicitly stated they dont want to16:11
asacsiretart: talk to security team ;)16:11
siretartasac: I'm asking you16:11
asacsiretart: they dont provide backported patches and its quite intransparent16:12
asacdidnt look on my own. just what heard from security team16:12
siretartand how is that worse to mozilla?16:12
asacnot worse.16:12
asacso yeah. go there16:12
asacin the end someone needs to write a js lib that is stable and slow16:13
asac(given that its understood that you cannot make a lib that keeps up with the current speed requirements that is fast)16:13
asacat least both moz and google say that16:13
asacso yes. i have no solution and it sucks16:13
asacthe only thing i can tell folks is to stop adapting js16:13
asacuse something else16:13
AnAntasac: this xulrunner issue is getting on your nerves16:14
asacbut not javascript if you want to ship your software seriously16:14
asacif you would ask me we should remove everything that uses it16:14
siretartwell, it's pretty sad that gxine is in such a miserable state right now :/16:14
asacso upstreams finally notice that and complain on their own16:14
asacsiretart: sure. but we fix it and noone will go and complain16:14
asacif you want to fix it use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH16:14
asactrick16:14
siretartasac: you broke, you fix ;-)16:15
asacthats the only way you can workaround all the walls we built to prevent folks using those libs16:15
asaci dont want the lib to be used16:15
AnAntasac: I did another thing, I used rpath, is that bad ?16:15
asacAnAnt: yes, that doesnt work16:15
asacread the gxine bug wherei explained it16:15
AnAntasac: it worked for elinks16:15
asacAnAnt: right. until we do a security update16:16
AnAntbut LD_LIBRARY_PATH might be a neater solution anyways16:16
asacthen its dead16:16
asacAnAnt: dont use it16:16
asacotherwise it will break every other month16:17
AnAntasac: yes, you are right16:17
asacAnAnt: i told you that rpath is not going to work16:17
asac;)16:17
asacwhy did you still go for it?16:17
asacanyway in customer meeting16:17
asacwill be back next week from this trip16:17
AnAntasac: you did ? I must have left before I read your reply16:18
AnAntasac: anyways, I gave up the whole thing, compiled Debian's xulrunner package to get libmozjs* packages, and compiled against those16:18
asacAnAnt: and then? this thing doesnt run on ubuntu ;)16:18
AnAntasac: I find it crazy that elinks would have to depend on libxulrunner and all the libs that it depends on16:18
sorenI have a package that from upstream is versioned as 1.0a5. I've changed that to 1.0~a5 in my package version so that a final 1.0 will supersede it, but uscan doesn't know this so it insists that 1.0a5 is newer. Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeve to work around this?16:18
AnAntasac: it does16:19
asacsiretart: i really tried a bunch of stuff and tried to fix the situation. without upstream complaining that they cannot be shipped in distros nothing will change16:19

AnAntoh, finally I am a DM16:21
siretartasac: I rather meant the lack of information/coordination with libmozjs users. darren and I were pretty surprised about this move...16:24
mr_pouit(well, it's probably written in an obscure wiki page)16:25
AnAntasac: by compiling Debian's xulrunner (1.9.1) on lucid, it would work16:27
AnAntasac: but I can't ship the package on Ubuntu repos of course16:27

asaclike couchdb folks18:08
asacthey say this problem will be resolved on its own and they dont care18:08
siretartasac: so couchdb links to libmozjs. so as well? What do they do? use LD_LIBRARY_PATH or rpath?18:21

asacsiretart: LD_LIB18:27
asaccouchdb18:27
asacsiretart: if the js is not exposed to any remote content thats ok (e.g. ship your own js/ source tree and spin it)18:27

sorenI've created new package. lintian suggested I use this new-fangled 3.0 (quilt) format, so I did. The tarball from upstream is such that doing the clean makes a few changes to some of the files. In the past I could just happily ignore that and leave that delta in the diff.gz.18:54

ScottKIf you use pyversions it'll complain about that too.19:01
sorenYes, I noticed.19:01
