| imbrandon | quiet night | 04:51 |
| imbrandon | and i think i may have the stomach flu or have eaten something bad at lunch, unfortunately i think its the former as its accompanied by a feaver | 04:53 |
| imbrandon | fun fun | 04:53 |
| ScottK | imbrandon: Great. Then you aren't out partying and can upload fixes. | 04:56 |
| micahg | imbrandon: sorry to hear that | 04:56 |
| imbrandon | ScottK: yup yup, just might go MIA for a few to head to the b-room unexpectedly | 04:57 |
| ScottK | imbrandon: Isn't that was laptops are for? | 04:58 |
| imbrandon | hehe | 04:58 |
| imbrandon | besides his list anything buggin ya specificly ? | 04:59 |
| ScottK | imbrandon: The FTBFS stuff bugs me. | 05:09 |
| micahg | ScottK: so, can we fix FTBFS after release? | 05:17 |
| ScottK | micahg: We can, but there's more verification requirements then. | 05:17 |
| ScottK | Better to do it now than have a security issue and an FTBFS to figure out at the same time. | 05:17 |
| micahg | ScottK: I know, but I'm limited on time ATM :) | 05:19 |
| ScottK | Understood. | 05:19 |
| micahg | still trying to get Seamonkey in :) | 05:19 |
| ScottK | That's definitely the priority. | 05:19 |
| micahg | imbrandon: do you use Seamonkey at all? | 05:28 |
| imbrandon | nope | 05:29 |
| micahg | imbrandon: k | 05:29 |
| imbrandon | i can test something if needed but i dont | 05:29 |
| micahg | imbrandon: I need some upgrade testing done for Seamonkey if you're up for it and nothing else is pressing | 05:30 |
| imbrandon | micahg: sure, sorry had one of my unexpected afk's | 05:50 |
| micahg | imbrandon: k | 05:50 |
| imbrandon | just lemme know where i can get the binarys | 05:50 |
| micahg | imbrandon: wanna hop in #ubuntu-mozillateam? | 05:50 |
| imbrandon | sure | 05:50 |
| imbrandon | ScottK: ok so i picked my poison a little bit ago form the FTBFS list | 05:55 |
| imbrandon | and boy did i pick a doosey | 05:55 |
| ScottK | imbrandon: Excellent. | 05:55 |
| imbrandon | so i got a "what would you do in this situation" question | 05:56 |
| ScottK | Well you should leave the easy ones for the new people. | 05:56 |
| ScottK | OK | 05:56 |
| imbrandon | its apt-rpm | 05:56 |
| imbrandon | it build and runtime depends on rpm ( oviously ) among other things | 05:56 |
| imbrandon | well rpm got updates and changed its ABI/API | 05:56 |
| imbrandon | soooo i went to see if its just a small delta | 05:57 |
| imbrandon | and the apt-rpm website says we're ( along with debian ) using a version thats ~4 years old | 05:57 |
| === nobawk`|away is now known as nobawk` | ||
| imbrandon | the "newest" version is late ~2008, and it does fix the problem | 05:58 |
| imbrandon | sooo question is ... big honken FFe since even though its installable ( because it built with the old rpm a long time ago ) it wont rebuild | 05:58 |
| imbrandon | or ummm ... back away slowly ;) | 05:58 |
| ScottK | imbrandon: If it's broken as in not working, I'm amenable to an update | 05:59 |
| imbrandon | k, yea its both a build and runtime dep, there is no way it works now, not even kinda | 05:59 |
| imbrandon | i'm suprised its this far behind, like ~4 years and 5ish releases | 06:00 |
| ScottK | Please fix. | 06:02 |
| ScottK | I'm just about to be offline for a while. Please work it out and upload the thing you think is best. I'll review later. | 06:02 |
| imbrandon | yup doing it now, and i was just curious when the breakage occured, it looks like beginign of karmic, so little to no chance of regression since its been broke a full cycle | 06:03 |
| imbrandon | ScottK: kk | 06:03 |
| StevenK | Two full cycles | 06:03 |
| imbrandon | err yea | 06:03 |

| |Quartz| | lucas: Hello. I have found a solution for rubyripper: to use the graphic interface to scan the disc and modify if needed the info such as title, author, track name..., then I launch the extraction and cancel it. In that way, all these info are stored in the rubyripper database. After, I launch the text client rubyripper_cli.rb which is as fast as the gtk interface in ubuntu 9.10 | 12:54 |
| |Quartz| | That mean that the ruby bug turns around the graphical interface, isn't it? | 12:55 |
| c_korn | it is not possible to provide (referring to the debian/control Provides: field) a specific version of a package, is it ? | 13:40 |
| c_korn | ok, the Debian policy answers it: "All of the fields except for Provides may restrict their applicability to particular versions of each named package." | 13:45 |
| === nobawk is now known as nobawk|away | ||
| === nobawk|away is now known as nobawk | ||
| carstenh | c_korn: use provides: bla-with-ssl-support or similar as workaround. the debian developers reference should tell you the same as i did | 14:58 |
| persia | Ugh | 14:59 |
| carstenh | persia: do you have a better idea? | 15:01 |
| persia | Try *really* hard never to need that sort of Provides? :) | 15:04 |
| carstenh | indeed, this is a better one :) | 15:04 |
| c_korn | the concrete problem is that there is a fork of gimp called painters studio (http://github.com/foxbunny/Painters-Studio-Ubuntu/tree/0.1-2foxbunny/painters-studio-0.1/debian/) which also provides the libgimp2.0 libraries (but modified versions). and because 0.1 < 2.6.8 (the gimp version)the gimp package is chosen. so the packager wanted to say that the library package in painters studio provides version 1.6.8 of libgimp. I told him to rename | 15:10 |
| c_korn | the package and the libraries to be independent of the libgimp2.0 package. | 15:10 |
| c_korn | s/1\.6\.8/2\.6\.8/ | 15:11 |
| ScottK | It would be handy if there were a MOTU that could look into Bug #555111 and make a concrete recommendation on what to do. | 15:11 |

| slytherin | Rhonda: persia: I could not install wesnoth packages. It requires newer libfontconfig1 package. :-( | 15:12 |
| ScottK | c_korn: Versioned provides are not supported. | 15:12 |
| c_korn | ScottK: I know. we were talking about alternatives :) | 15:12 |
| persia | slytherin: OK. Thanks for trying. I'll do a quick test. Rhonda: are you comfortable with a quick test, or do you want to go through the post-release update process and get a bit more testing? | 15:13 |
| ScottK | OK. | 15:13 |
| slytherin | ScottK: A quick look tells me it will require FFe. | 15:15 |
| ScottK | slytherin: OK. So the next question would be is it worth it or should we stick with what we have. I see that there are references to a lot of bugs fixed. | 15:16 |
| slytherin | ScottK: Checking | 15:16 |
| ScottK | I see it's in the mythbuntu task too, so we should ask superm1 if it's still wanted. | 15:16 |
| persia | c_korn: Are the libraries ABI compatible? If so, then just don't use the painters studio one. If not, rename the painters studio one. | 15:16 |
| c_korn | persia: they may be ABI compatible. but upstream told they fixed lots of bugs.so it rather sounds like also gimp should use the painter studio ones :) | 15:22 |
| slytherin | is LP slow only for me? | 15:22 |
| slytherin | ScottK: Syncing 0.5.57-1 (from unstable) is not possible because as it adds a build dependency not available in Ubuntu. As to 0.5.56+cvs20100328-1 from testing (which fixes bug #544522), I am more inclined towards an SRU at this stage in release cycle. | 15:23 |

| ScottK | slytherin: Thanks. Please put that in the bug. | 15:24 |
| slytherin | ScottK: Of course superm1's opinion is more important than me considering he must be familiar with the package. | 15:24 |

| callum1 | hi i am looking for advice on helping develop for Ubuntu. | 16:37 |
| persia | callum1: What sort of stuff do you like to do? | 16:38 |
| callum1 | hi persia. I am a java developer of two years at sun microsystems. Not sure if there is any call for a java developer however I am happy to pick up any language that is of and help | 16:39 |
| persia | There's lots of good stuff a Java developer could do: we have a bundle of Java programs, and some of them have bugs. | 16:42 |
| persia | Not all the bugs are in the Java, of course: some are in shell scripts, make files, etc. | 16:43 |
| callum1 | I am also fairly adept at scripting so this would not be an issue. I guess my main question is how do I get involved? | 16:44 |
| persia | Well, we're really close to release, so looking for bugs that would be considered release-critical. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=java is a list of about 1000 java-related bugs: you might find a couple in there. | 16:45 |
| persia | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing talks a bit about getting involved in this team. | 16:46 |
| persia | For Java, we also work closely with the Debian Java team: there's a channel about packaging Java in Ubuntu (#ubuntu-java), and the Debian Java folks usually are in #debian-java on OFTC. | 16:46 |
| persia | The general model is: 1) find an issue, 2) fix it, 3) present a patch somewhere, 4) integrate some patches into packaging, 5) get a sponsor to upload your freshly improved package, 6) find another issue | 16:48 |
| persia | We tend to prefer unified diff patches or bzr branches (choice between these is up to you). | 16:48 |
| persia | And if you have any questions along the way: just ask. | 16:49 |
| callum1 | ok great. Thanks for your help ill dive into those bugs and see if there is anything I can do. | 16:49 |
| callum1 | will look up packaging etc once i get something worth proposing as a fix | 16:49 |
| persia | Good luck. If you find one that looks interesting, but isn't release critical, you can work on that too. We should be starting the next release in a bit over a week, and can apply a fix there. Bonus points for fixing RC stuff though. | 16:50 |
| callum1 | :) | 16:51 |
| persia | Once you know how to fix something, just ask, and we can help you get it integrated, and point to the specific bits about packaging you need to know along the way. If you go try to learn how to package first, you'll either get stuck for months learning everything, or not happen to learn the packaging technique used for the package you're patching (there are an arbitrary number (potentially infinite) ways to correctly write the packaging scripts) | 16:51 |
| * persia sprinkles in some prepositions and articles | 16:52 | |
| callum1 | yeah, seeing as this is my first shot at this i will take it one step at a time. no doubt you will see me in here again looking for packaging help :) | 16:54 |
| persia | Excellent! | 16:55 |

| imbrandon | its kinda funny as its ment to replace ( well not replace but .... no better word ) apt , but the patches make it so it can be installed side by side on a system like debian that has apt natively | 19:50 |

| debfx | ajmitch: I think debian-edu-config should be removed too. It depends on etcinsvk, overwrites /etc/lsb-release and generally isn't useful on ubuntu anyway. | 23:57 |
| ajmitch | yeah, at least that one is still actively developed | 23:58 |
| ajmitch | I agree that it's possibly not useful (at all), along with debian-edu-install | 23:59 |
