| didrocks | ddecator: if you can do it, that would be awesome :) | 08:11 |

| juliank | mvo: Do you have any plans to move to update-manager 0.200 for maverick? Having to mostly independently developed series of update-manager does not look like a good thing. | 11:21 |
| * cjwatson wraps his head around the dpkg merge | 11:43 | |
| mvo | juliank: it was on the agenda for last cycle already, but time was/is a issue | 12:08 |
| dholbach | juliank: I just had a look over it, it seems like the version in Debian needs to still merge a lot | 12:08 |
| juliank | mvo: OK. | 12:11 |
| juliank | dholbach: Yeah, I know that there are large differences in some parts. | 12:11 |
| mvo | juliank: btw, did you notice that I merged the "unbranded-icons" branch into trunk? that is probably useful for the debian packages of s-c | 12:12 |
| juliank | mvo: I currently use the standard package management icons (system-software-install) and I may stay with 2.0.X for squeeze to have the same as lucid, unless someone asks me to ship the same release as maverick. | 12:15 |
| mvo | juliank: ok, sounds good. trunk/ is in a lot of churn currently, so staying with 2.0.x is a good choice | 12:15 |
| mvo | turnk is also pretty exciting, but that is a different matter :) | 12:16 |
| juliank | mvo: I will merge the 2.1 stuff into a debian-next branch once you released it. | 12:16 |
| mvo | ok | 12:16 |
| juliank | mvo: You forgot to merge the changes for debian/control, BTW; including the one to only conflict with gnome-app-install (<< 1) [without the version, it breaks the upgrade path]. I also reformatted a bit there, since tabs and spaces where mixed in trunk. | 12:18 |
| juliank | (And without merge information, merging it back becomes increasingly complicated) | 12:19 |

| dmart | Has anyone been having trouble with NFS servers running on lucid? | 13:03 |
| dmart | I'm finding that when a client executes fcntl(... F_SETLKW ...) in an NFS chroot, it hangs for minutes at a time | 13:03 |
| dmart | normal file assess works OK though, and lockd processes are present on client and server | 13:04 |
| dmart | The server lockd is stuck in disk sleep state the whole time, but since it's a kernel process this is possibly normal. | 13:04 |
| === Guest38382 is now known as jelmer | ||
| pitti | jdstrand: please let me know if you need build score bumping, etc. | 13:09 |
| jdstrand | pitti: I think it would probably be a good idea (at least for hardy). redhat released today. if we plan on it being in -proposed for a week, then it doesn't matter. if we want to release today, it would probably be good | 13:11 |
| jdstrand | pitti: I am testing the i386 and amd64 binaries this morning | 13:11 |
| dmart | slangasek: Have you seen rpc.statd failing to launch on lucid? It looks like this may be the cause of my problem (see scrollback) | 13:12 |
| tseliot | juliank: it's here: https://launchpad.net/xorgparser why are asking? | 13:16 |
| juliank | tseliot: Debian packaging. The branch contains a debian/ directory for 0.4.2, but code from 0.4.2.2 though. | 13:18 |
| tseliot | juliank: right, it shouldn't contain a debian directory. The tarball doesn't contain it | 13:20 |
| juliank | tseliot: The package is native, so from my point of view something went really wrong then. | 13:21 |
| tseliot | juliank: ? | 13:21 |
| tseliot | juliank: what's wrong with having a native package? x-kit is not in debian | 13:23 |
| juliank | tseliot: The package is a native package with one tarball and the version 0.4.2.2; although it should be 0.4.2.2-1 and using a .diff.gz on the upstream tarball (which despite your statement above, also contains the debian/ directory) | 13:23 |
| juliank | or 0.4.2.2-0ubuntu1 | 13:23 |
| tseliot | juliank: only 0.4.2.2 contains the debian directory and it was mistake | 13:24 |
| tseliot | the other tarballs don't have it | 13:25 |
| juliank | tseliot: Well, but the package should then still be not native, since you have two different tarballs with the same version. A native package is only for the case where the upstream tarball is equal to the package; that's not the case here. | 13:26 |
| juliank | If you do upstream releases without a debian/ directory, your package must not be native. | 13:26 |
| juliank | The tarballs even complete the .bzr directory!!! | 13:28 |
| juliank | s/complete/contains/ | 13:28 |
| tseliot | yes, I've noticed that (in the launchpad page) | 13:28 |
| jdstrand | pitti: not sure if you rescored yet, but hardy is currently scheduled to 1-3 hours, so maybe not worth it | 13:29 |
| tseliot | juliank: but yes, good point, I can replace the upstream tarball and correct the version | 13:34 |
| juliank | tseliot: Never replace an existing tarball, it will break the assumptions of your users. | 13:35 |
| tseliot | juliank: the one in the launchpad page | 13:35 |
| juliank | tseliot: Your upstream users. | 13:35 |
| juliank | tseliot: You don't work with Python very much, right? (My points being: non-PEP8 function names (myFunc instead of my_func), comparisons to None using == instead of 'is', classes not derived from object ['class MyClass:' should be 'class MyClass(object):') | 13:39 |
| tseliot | juliank: I wrote that code some time ago, now I have different habits. I used to adopt the QT coding style but now it's no longer the case. | 13:41 |
| tseliot | and I don't want to break the api | 13:42 |
| ScottK | It's not rare to see PyQt code that follows Qt conventions instead of Pythonic ones. | 13:43 |
| juliank | ScottK: We're talking about simple Python code, not Qt related. | 13:44 |
| ScottK | Ah, sorry. Poor assumption on my part. | 13:44 |
| tseliot | juliank: may I ask the purpose of your code review? | 13:46 |
| tseliot | just curious | 13:46 |
| juliank | tseliot: Well, I just want to understand it, to consider how to go on with packaging jockey for Debian (which needs python-xkit). I can either package it standalone as in Ubuntu or merge X-Kit into jockey and not expose the API at all. | 13:47 |
| juliank | It's just the question of whether I want to support it generally or only for jockey-internal use. | 13:49 |
| tseliot | juliank: ok | 13:50 |

| === plars-away is now known as plars | ||
| slangasek | dmart: setting statd to 'start on local-filesystems' probably fixes it for you, if you're not on nfsroot | 15:24 |
| slangasek | I've just been slow to make that change in lucid because the code is touchy and I haven't had a solid block of time to think all the way through it | 15:25 |
| dmart | OK, I'll try it. The box in question is a server; my main problem is huge timeout delays when clients do locking calls | 15:25 |
| slangasek | well, /separately/, there's a race condition with nfs-kernel-server startup because it's not converted to upstart yet | 15:27 |
| doko | cjwatson: about the cpuname change: I think it's the correct fix. the triplet is used to be passed to configure, and it should be the correct one. it easier to grep the rules files for wrong conditionals. | 15:27 |
| cjwatson | doko: is there any way to get this merged to Debian in advance of Debian switching gcc's defaults? | 15:28 |
| cjwatson | e.g. can we add that cputable line as a separate line? | 15:28 |
| cjwatson | (in dpkg) | 15:28 |
| doko | but: currently we are using the triplet names as multiarch names (as for multilib). maybe this really should be changed to architecture names, maybe the linux names extended to something like i386-linux | 15:29 |
| doko | cjwatson: afaik this a table lookup, with the arch as index. don't know how this should work | 15:30 |
| cjwatson | well, I guess I can play with it | 15:31 |

| Drakeson | nucc1: upgrade the evolution package. | 17:31 |
| nucc1 | Drakeson, i think im uptodate. trying to check if i somehow ended up with an odd version of libgtkhtml | 17:32 |

| Drakeson | a few days ago evolution got broken (gtkhtml-editor got upgraded, but evolution was blocked because evolution-exchange was holding it back). thought that might be your problem ... | 17:42 |

| nucc1 | now i realise it means 'development version' | 17:43 |
| ogra_cmpc | well the development version i swhat the ubuntu developers develop :) | 17:44 |
| ogra_cmpc | so you are actually right here ... | 17:45 |
| ogra_cmpc | for your particular evo prob #ubuntu-desktop would be the better channel though | 17:45 |
| nucc1 | ogra_cmpc, but that usually means they are working on the current development version, whereas i'm interested in something to do with current stable :) | 17:45 |

| pitti | ccheney: right, it works against binary packages; otherwise it cannot collect information about the binary package, since it doesn't know which one | 20:15 |
| ccheney | pitti: it appears for some unknown reason to me that the binary package hint for openoffice.org packages is usually the openoffice.org meta package instead of something like openoffice.org-common or -core that is always installed, do you know how that ends up getting added to the bug report? | 20:17 |
| ccheney | pitti: and i am assuming the line "Binary package hint: openoffice.org" is what apport-collect looks at to see what to lookup? | 20:20 |
| pitti | ccheney: I actually don't know what this "binary package hint" is or where it comes from; apport doesn't use it | 20:20 |
| ccheney | pitti: oh ok, so how does it determine the binary package name when launchpad only knows about source package names? | 20:21 |
| ccheney | pitti: is there some file to modify to do the proper mappings? | 20:21 |
| pitti | ccheney: you mean for retracing? It's in the "Package:" field of the apport data | 20:21 |
| pitti | i. e. the one you report the bug against | 20:22 |
| ccheney | pitti: er no when someone files a bad lp bug and i tell them run eg: apport-collect bugnumber | 20:22 |
| ccheney | pitti: for several people so far it has returned that they don't have the openoffice.org (meta) package installed, which is generally never installed | 20:22 |
| pitti | ccheney: ah, for this we need an apport hook which also covers source packages | 20:23 |
| pitti | ccheney: it tries to collect information about the binary package of the same name, but if that doesn't exists (or rather, isn't installed), it's simply not collected | 20:23 |
| pitti | ccheney: then it only collects the info from the source_<srcpackagename>.py hook | 20:23 |
| ccheney | pitti: if i don't want to do anything special other than get the normal apport reported info what would i do to fix it for that? | 20:24 |
| pitti | ccheney: for apport-collect? or for bug filing? | 20:26 |
| ccheney | pitti: for apport-collect i suppose, the bug filing probably should be fixed to but isn't as urgent | 20:26 |
| pitti | ccheney: hm, does OO.o have a package hook? I don't have one here | 20:28 |
| ccheney | pitti: no it doesn't have a package hook, i was just wanting them to add the standard apport info that all packages get via apport-collect to an old bug filed without apport | 20:28 |
| ccheney | pitti: there isn't too much that i would need in a hook, maybe what video driver they are using, but the standard info is usually all i ever need | 20:29 |
| pitti | ccheney: you could ask people to run apport-collect -p openoffice.org-draw 12345, for example | 20:29 |
| pitti | i. e. against the application that they actually have a problem with | 20:30 |
| ccheney | ah ok so the -p is still useful, i thought it was deprecated and not actually used anymore | 20:30 |
| pitti | for apport-collect it's still useful | 20:30 |
| pitti | it's not necessary any more for ubuntu-bug | 20:31 |
| ccheney | oh ok | 20:31 |

| hendry | i'm deploying a commericial binary package on Ubuntu and I'm wondering how I should create a shortcut on the user's desktop. Any advice here? | 20:45 |
| juliank | hendry: According to the topic, you should ask in #ubuntu-app-devel. But anyway, you should not create stuff on the desktop. | 20:57 |
| juliank | Which is impossible on installation time anyway, since installation is run as root; and not as the normal user who wants to run the application | 20:58 |

| Sarvatt | cjwatson: changing the oprofile Build-Depends: to binutils (>= 2.20.51.20100518-1ubuntu1) and rebuilding certainly seems to work so far as to letting llvm-dev install at least :D | 21:15 |
