micahg | arand: BTW, abiword 2.8.4 just hit maverick | 00:00 |
---|---|---|
crimsun | thank goodness :-) | 00:01 |
ajmitch | does 2.8.4 fix a few problems? | 00:01 |
arand | Nice. | 00:02 |
micahg | s/hit/uploaded/ | 00:02 |
crimsun | ajmitch: yes | 00:03 |
arand | It fixes the crash-on-help one, although that should hopefully be fixed with my svn cherrypick. | 00:03 |
arand | ...In lucid as well | 00:04 |
crimsun | not least of which is the xmlCleanupParser() madness | 00:04 |
crimsun | which historically makes pulse look bad, but it's in fact people not bloody reading the libxml2 API | 00:04 |
ajmitch | uh | 00:04 |
ajmitch | how does that have anything to do with pulse? :) | 00:04 |
arand | Uh, what? Was pulse involved in this? | 00:05 |
crimsun | calling xmlCleanupParser() multiple times tramples all over the pulse client's TLS vars | 00:05 |
crimsun | as a result, the offending pulse client (the program abusing xmlCleanupParser()) segfaults, with the stack trace pointing to pulse | 00:05 |
ajmitch | oh that must have been a bundle of fun | 00:06 |
crimsun | I combed through the archive toward the end of the Lucid cycle to fix this | 00:06 |
arand | One good thing with a new abiword is that 2.8.2 seems to FTBFS on my MM system as well :/ | 00:13 |

imbrandon | evening all | 05:07 |
ajmitch | hi imbrandon | 05:13 |
imbrandon | heya ajmitch | 05:14 |
imbrandon | so its kinda cool, i picked up this tiny 11inch dell from like 1999, its funny its like its got all the features of the new "mini"s just slower | 05:17 |
imbrandon | got lucid loaded on it, but it dosent like gnome/unity much , toooooo slugish , like firefox takes 2 minutes to load | 05:18 |
imbrandon | lol | 05:18 |
imbrandon | so i got lucid but i apt-get installed fluxbox + a few other lighter apps and its great little mobile machine to use to ssh into other boxes etc | 05:18 |
imbrandon | for free ;) | 05:19 |
imbrandon | its 700mhz, so its not "terrible" | 05:20 |
ajmitch | not bad | 05:22 |
imbrandon | i think most of the slowness is the only 128mb ram, it maxes out at 256 says dells website if i can run accross a 256mb pc-100 sodimm at somepoint | 05:24 |

_Andrew | Anyone know why when I do "dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp --fail-missing" and inside my install script it has the following.. "usr/bin" my package fails to find something installed in debian/tmp/usr/bin/xyz ? | 07:00 |
persia | _Andrew: I may be mistaken, but I believe --fail-missing only fails if there are things in the temporary directory that are unallocated to any package, rather than if there are things missing from the temporary directory. | 07:11 |
_Andrew | Here's the error message.. "debian/tmp/usr/bin/cpack exists in debian/tmp/ but is not installed to anywhere" | 07:13 |
dholbach | good morning | 07:14 |
_Andrew | I'm using compatibility level 6 and have tried "debian/tmp/usr/bin", "debian/tmp/usr/bin/*", "usr/bin", "usr/bin/*" and probably some other combinations. | 07:14 |
_Andrew | It never seems to find it in the .install file | 07:15 |
persia | One of the changes in compatibility level 7 was some new logic to make the .install files make more sense :) | 07:16 |
persia | I tend to list stubborn files explicitly and individually. | 07:17 |
_Andrew | Can't because this package is for hardy | 07:18 |
_Andrew | Otherwise yes, I'd bump up the compat in a heartbeat :D | 07:19 |
persia | How did it work before you started fixing it? | 07:19 |
_Andrew | I specifically lists all the programs.. I think I already tried that. but I'll give it another go | 07:20 |
_Andrew | It** | 07:20 |
persia | That seems about right, from my memory. Best practice when working with older packages is to touch the absolute minimum. | 07:20 |

G | It's been a while since I've done Debian style packaging, but I'm looking to get back into it, I've got a package that has downloaded as: foo-0.2.1-source.tar.gz and extracts as foo-0.2.1-source, the example at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Howtos/PackagingFromScratchHelloDebhelper shows 'tar -xf hello-x.y.tar.gz hello-x.y' so my question is, does the -source matter, or is that something I have to rename out? | 10:27 |
persia | The name of the directory in the upstream tarball matters not at all. | 10:28 |
Rhonda | It neither matters for dpkg-source, it though issues a warning which can get ignored. :) | 10:29 |
Rhonda | When packaging inside a VCS I usually have the directory only named VCS for consistency issues. | 10:30 |
umang | Hi, I maintain a package on Debian that entered sid after the Lucid DIF. If I want it to be imported into maverick then do I have to file a bug or will it automatically happen after MM's DIF? | 10:31 |
G | persia: Rhonda: great, thats for that (and thanks for the hint abotu the warning) | 10:31 |
persia | umang: It ought enter the NEW queue automatically. | 10:32 |
Rhonda | umang: It hopefully will automatically happen _before_ MM's DIF. :) | 10:33 |
Rhonda | … because after DIF there isn't any automatism for that anymore. | 10:33 |
umang | persia, Rhonda: so I don't need do anything for it to be included in maverick? | 10:34 |
persia | umang: It wouldn't hurt to track the progress through https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+queue but it ought require no action on your part. | 10:35 |
umang | persia, I'm not able to find it under any of the statuses. So I presume it will enter one of those queues later? | 10:37 |
persia | Right. The archive admins usually wait until the current packages sync has made significant progress before syncing the new packages. | 10:37 |
umang | persia, Thanks! :) | 10:38 |
persia | I'd recommend checking again in a week or so. if you still haven't seen it in any of the queues by a few weeks before DIF, then it may merit investigation. | 10:38 |
persia | With luck, you'll only ever notice it in DONE. | 10:38 |
umang | persia, Sure, I'll do that. :) | 10:40 |

mok0 | Any schroot users? I am getting loads of messages of the following type, and it is starting to annoy me. I already tried to edit /etc/schroot/schroot.conf, but to no avail. | 12:15 |
mok0 | W: line 19 [karmic-0f03ab72-3520-4df4-a561-e3d55c218892]: Deprecated key 'run-exec-scripts' used | 12:15 |
mok0 | I: This option will be removed in the future; please update your configuration | 12:15 |
mok0 | W | 12:15 |
=== nobawk|away is now known as nobawk | ||
azeem | mok0: yeah, it's pretty annoying | 12:20 |
geser | mok0: do you have a "run-exec-scripts" line in your schroot.conf? | 12:20 |
mok0 | I removed it | 12:20 |
geser | and still this warning? | 12:21 |
azeem | mok0: karmic-0f03ab72-3520-4df4-a561-e3d55c218892 means it's from a session | 12:21 |
persia | The only way I found to make that go away was to regenerate the schroots. | 12:21 |
azeem | mok0: so umount those bind mounts and close all sessions | 12:21 |
mok0 | Lemme see | 12:21 |
azeem | (I don't understand why schroot needs sessions anyway) | 12:21 |
persia | `schroot -e -c ${SESSIONID}` automates that. | 12:21 |
persia | azeem: Because sometimes you want to run several in parallel, or you might want to have persistent schroots for some reason, etc. | 12:22 |
azeem | hrm | 12:22 |
mok0 | There are no mounted work volumes | 12:22 |
mok0 | persia: what is SESSIONID? | 12:22 |
persia | mok0: I'm not entirely sure. When I use schroot with lvm, the necessary magic value appears in the lvs output. | 12:23 |
azeem | mok0: probably karmic-0f03ab72-3520-4df4-a561-e3d55c218892 or without the karmic- | 12:23 |
* persia is still learning about schroot-without-lvm | 12:23 | |
persia | I think it's with the karmic | 12:23 |
azeem | persia: those should be a specially requested operation though, not the default | 12:23 |
azeem | I assume sbuild is to blame here | 12:23 |
persia | azeem: Kinda. So, when sbuild crashes, the schroot doesn't close. this can be useful in many ways, but also annoying sometimes. | 12:24 |
mok0 | There are similar lines for my jaunty builder | 12:24 |
persia | By default, schroot opens a session, and closes it when complete. This is essential if one has configured schroots to be used on a multiuser box, or if one wants to do parallel builds with sbuild, etc. | 12:25 |
mok0 | You think I should enter the schroots, and make the change to /etc/schroot... etc there? | 12:25 |
persia | Keeping the session open after exit requires a special command-line argument. | 12:25 |
persia | mok0: That may work: regeneration is likely cleaner. | 12:25 |
mok0 | persia: yeah, sometimes the roots stay around even after the build finishes, but that's not the case for me now | 12:25 |
mok0 | persia: I'm not sure I understand "regenerate"... run mk-sbuild again? | 12:27 |
persia | What I did was remove the stanzas from schroot.conf, remove the storage (either LV or /var/lib/schroot/... ) and then rebuild them from scratch. | 12:27 |
persia | This is not necessarily the optimal solution. | 12:28 |
mok0 | persia: I have so many schroots | 12:28 |
mok0 | 13... | 12:28 |
* persia wrote one-line wrapper script around mk-sbuild that day | 12:28 | |
mok0 | Hmm :-) | 12:29 |
persia | for i in dapper hardy jaunty karmic lucid maverick; do for j in amd64 armel i386 powerpc; do mk-sbuild --arch=$j $i; done; done takes care of Ubuntu. Debian is similar. | 12:30 |
* persia may have mistyped syntax | 12:30 | |
persia | Note that this will take a while, and it is advised to be network-near a mirror of at least the buildd stuff. | 12:31 |
persia | (and use --debootstrap-mirror=...) | 12:31 |
mok0 | persia: fortunately, I have an apt-proxy | 12:31 |
mok0 | on the local network | 12:32 |
persia | That works too, at least for some subset :) | 12:32 |
mok0 | persia: can't remember... do you need to edit schroot.conf first? | 12:32 |
persia | I just deleted everything that I was replacing from there. | 12:33 |
persia | Also remember to remove the backing storage configuration, as mk-sbuild is a bit fragile about that. | 12:33 |
mok0 | *sigh* | 12:33 |
* mok0 procrastinates: I think I'll do it... sometime | 12:34 | |
mok0 | In fact, I might just figure out what part of sbuild issues those messages and zap them :-) | 12:35 |
persia | I'm sure it's something inside the schroot. if you figure out what, probably best to write an exec script that cleans up elderly schroots on intialisation. | 12:35 |
mok0 | Hm. Nothing inside the schroot | 12:39 |

piju | where do you come from ? | 13:56 |
mok0 | Denmark. in this country, I think it is pretty near impossible to get a license unless you want to spend every free hour | 13:56 |
piju | you can ask your local ham radio club, how to get a ham license | 13:56 |
piju | we can talk over ham radio | 13:57 |
mok0 | piju: You need to learn morse code | 13:57 |
piju | im from Malaysia | 13:57 |

piju | yes, we have echolink for that | 13:58 |

piju | i can talk using my pc to a man who are driving in England | 13:58 |

mok0 | piju, somehow I'm not impressed :-) | 13:59 |
piju | you can talk to astronout if you a ham radio | 13:59 |
piju | mok0; yes, i know that. you are generation of computer, not radio | 13:59 |
mok0 | piju: errh | 13:59 |
piju | even most advanced military still use radio | 13:59 |
piju | international space station too | 14:00 |
mok0 | piju: encrypted probably | 14:00 |
piju | encrypted ? | 14:01 |

G | tarzeau: it's a library (dep for an end package I'd like to do) qpixmap | 14:16 |

tarzeau | G: i see | 14:17 |
G | Doing it as a patch would be cleaner right? | 14:17 |
