[12:34] <mok0> mr_pouit: I respectfully disagree
[12:34] <mr_pouit> a well written package description is probably better

[14:16] <highvoltage> the package I uploaded to lucid-proposed is the same as the version I uploaded to maverick
[14:16] <highvoltage> should the version be different?

[17:36] <bulldog98> and it’s not the error in the debian wiki
[17:37] <azeem_> what command are you running when you get the error?
[17:38] <bulldog98> debuild -S -sd -kMYKEYID
[17:38] <azeem_> so the clean target does not work?

[17:39] <azeem_> and quilt pop -a does work?
[17:39] <bulldog98> after running the command yes

[17:40] <bulldog98> azeem_: I did quilt pop -a before running the command
[17:40] <bulldog98> but it happend again

[20:59] <Turl> gufw, the ufw ui, currently has a bug with rule deletion
[20:59] <Turl> and I've talked with the devel and he will fix it
[20:59] <Turl> what would be the next move to get that fix published for ubuntu users?
[20:59] <Turl> gufw is in universe
[21:05] <Laney> if it's a serious bug you can get it updated with an SRU
[21:06] <Laney> looks like the person to talk to is devfil
[21:09] <Laney> Turl: ^^^^

[21:11] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 578404 in gui-ufw "GUFW erases the rule not selected to be erased" [High,Confirmed]
[21:12] <Turl> when you click on a rule and delete it, gufw deletes some other rule sometimes
[21:13] <Turl> I guess it's kind of serious, a normal user would say 'the app is broken', and if they don't pay attention they might be opening another port or something
[21:13] <Turl> without even noticing, who knows what a user might do :P

[21:15] <Turl> I guess Marcos (Gufw's devel) will commit a fix soon

[22:56] <kklimonda> can I get a list of packages that has diverged from debian but has not been touched in lucid and debian has had an upload during lucid cycle? :)
[22:56] <kklimonda> hmm, probably MoM
[22:57] <Laney> what are you after?
[22:57] <ajmitch> packages outdated in lucid that could have been synced
[22:57]  * ajmitch is seeing if mdt has info for lucid
[22:58] <kklimonda> Laney: I'm wondering how bad shape universe is in :)
[22:58] <Laney> sounds like merge o matic
[22:58] <ajmitch> http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/mdt/all.html has those sort of stats for maverick
[22:58] <kklimonda> Laney: interesting blog post btw :)
[22:58] <Laney> UDD has a lot of stuff you can query too
[22:58] <jpds> kklimonda: Sounds like the package culling session we had earlier today.
[22:58] <Laney> http://udd.debian.org
[22:58] <Laney> kklimonda: *hides* :)
[22:59] <kklimonda> jpds: probably - I've just read about Universe QA session on Laney's blog ;)
[22:59] <ajmitch> jpds: it sounds more like the default state of universe - not touched by us, but had changes after DIF
[22:59] <kklimonda> for some reason I find it impossible to actually participate remotely in UDS sessions :/
[23:00] <ajmitch> it is rather hard to do when you're not in the same timezone
[23:00] <Laney> this all started in a conversation with ajmitch
[23:00] <Laney> blame him!
[23:00] <crimsun> it's difficult even if you're in the same building, darned plethora of tracks
[23:00] <ajmitch> who me?
[23:00]  * ajmitch is innocent of all wrongdoing
[23:01] <kklimonda> ajmitch: well, that's actually not the problem - it's just that I can't get around using IRC to participate in discussion when the rest can see each others :)
[23:01] <ajmitch> there is that
[23:01]  * ajmitch isn't even trying to keep up with UDS this time
[23:02] <kklimonda> neither do I - all I've listened to were three or four discussions.. and I've almost fallen asleep on Upstart QA ;)
[23:02] <kklimonda> Laney: ajmitch is there a gobby document from universe qa ?
[23:02] <ajmitch> why ask me? :)
[23:02] <kklimonda> erm.. jpds :)
[23:02] <Laney> yes
[23:03] <Laney> community-m-universe-qa, i believe
[23:03] <kklimonda> ajmitch: your nick has a nice color in my weechat :)
[23:03] <ajmitch> Laney: was anything useful written down, or was it mostly just discussion that wasn't recorded?
[23:04] <Laney> I can't get on gobby :(
[23:04] <Laney> but I think I remember it being quite decent
[23:05]  * ajmitch wonders how the debian health check went
[23:07] <crimsun> it was interesting. The most useful thing for me was learning that we should file RFAs for packages not in either U/D
[23:07] <ajmitch> RFA for something not in debian?
[23:07] <crimsun> err, for packages that U devs don't wish to maintain. Yeah.
[23:08] <ajmitch> I suppose it makes more sense than an ITP, but I thought maybe an RFP, pointing to the ubuntu package
[23:08] <ajmitch> but I don't deal enough with debian :)
[23:09] <ajmitch> the debian/ubuntu crossover is an area I ought to work on more
[23:10] <kklimonda> hmm.. I have this weird feeling that MOTU is supposed to be "the janitors of unseeded packages" after reorganization, or am I completely wrong? :)
[23:11] <Laney> That's pretty correct
