lfaraoneIs there any real restriction beyond "we can distribute the binary legally" with software in multiverse? Can binary-only software be distributed this way?00:21
JanClfaraone: as long as there are no restrictions about distributing and (very important!) redistributing, that's the only restrictions AFAIK00:36
JanCfor example Adobe's flash plugin doesn't allow re-distribution, so it can't go into multiverse as is00:38
lfaraoneJanC: okay. how do we evaluate SRUs for binary-only software in multiverse? If upstream or someone with access to the source provides a new binary, we can't audit that they followed the SRU criteria, right?01:17
JanClfaraone: I suppose you'd have to rely on their word, which is exactly why open source software is preferred...01:24
JanCand I have no idea if there is any official process for that currently01:25
lfaraoneJanC: okay, thanks.01:32

paultagHey MOTU. I'm looking to practice debian-izing a small app that I wrote. It's in python. What should I be doing to make my debianizing life easy down the road ( only thing I can think of is build system, but I'm sure there is more )03:57
paultagand by debianizing, I mean rolling it into a .deb, this is Ubuntu only ( a small app for an Ubuntu team )03:58
paultagnot that that matters :)03:58

micahgpaultag: are you packaging for the archive or for your own use?04:25
paultagmicahg, PPA, I am not going to be guidelines strict. I get a lot of that upstream04:25
micahgpaultag: ok, then we have a special channel for that: #ubuntu-packaging, but being the weekend, idk who's around, so patience is suggested04:26
paultagmicahg, I don't quit freenode often :)04:26

fabrice_spHi. atlas is FTBFS because "Warning: In order to build Atlas under i386, you need the CPU extension sse3 available on your CPU"08:01
fabrice_spis there any buildds that have sse3 capability?08:01
fabrice_spor they are all virtualized?08:02
tumbleweedfabrice_sp: ran atlas on armel all night. It still loops08:02
fabrice_sptumbleweed, thanks for trying :-)08:02
tumbleweednp08:02
fabrice_spwhat is strange is that is doesn't seem to loop on Debian :-/08:02
fabrice_spbug in compiler?08:03
tumbleweeddunno, can't see anything obvious. But I'm off hiking this morning - will have a look later08:03
fabrice_spgood hiking then :-)08:06

arandCan the debian packaging be GPLv3 when something that is packaged (e.g. images sounds) are under a "only along with this software and no modification"-type of license?10:59
BlackZarand: just specify in the debian/copyright file other licenses of the software11:04
BlackZspecifying the files11:04
arandYea, There's a whole tonne of them, since there's different contributors etc.11:07
arandSo the GPL only applies to the debian/ folder, regardless of what is packaged then?11:07
BlackZarand: yes, and the other files with the GPL license applied11:08
BlackZarand: you can follow http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/dep/web/deps/dep5.mdwn?op=file&rev=13511:09

ScottKfabrice_sp: Even for i686 you can't assume sse2, so something needs to be done run time to detect if sse2 is present or not and not use it if it isn't.17:34
fabrice_spScottK, so what would be the fix for atlas in i386?17:47
fabrice_spI can desactivate the detection of sse3, but I'm not sure the package will be usable17:48
fabrice_spit compiles fine in amd6417:48
tumbleweedAutomatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software - that says it all :/17:51
tumbleweedfabrice_sp: I've been looking at the armel build log, I'm not convinced that it wouldn't have eventually finished17:51
fabrice_spso just slowness?17:51
tumbleweedvery very slow. It keeps tuning things until it's happy, as far as I can tell17:51
jpdsThe arms are slow.17:52
* tumbleweed is trying another build - a few days this time...17:52
tumbleweedjpds: I gave it about 8 hrs17:52
fabrice_spI've desactivated it in the last upload, so until someone complains that there is no armel build of atlas, it will stay that way17:54
fabrice_spthe worst part is that the i386 build failed because of missing sse3 instruction in the buildds...17:54
fabrice_spso right now, atlas is broken17:56
tumbleweedhmm: from debian's build logs:17:56
tumbleweedBuild needed 42:20:15, 216776k disc space17:56
fabrice_sp42 hours?! not too bad :-)17:56
tumbleweedthat'll be on real hardware though, probably a lot faster (and doesn't segfault like qemu)17:56
fabrice_spthe armel buildds in Ubuntu are real hardware or qemu?17:57
* tumbleweed was going to ask the same thing17:57
fabrice_sp:-)17:57
BlackZfabrice_sp: Warning: In order to build Atlas under i386, you need the CPU extension sse3 available on your CPU17:58
BlackZare you afraid to enable it?17:58
tumbleweedBlackZ: we can't require sse3 on i38617:58
fabrice_spBlackZ, and this is in the buildds, not in my computer ;-)17:58
jpdsfabrice_sp: Real hardware.17:59
fabrice_spBlackZ, it's detected with cpuinfo17:59
fabrice_spjpds, thx17:59
BlackZfabrice_sp: ahhh, hmm ...17:59
tumbleweedfabrice_sp: oh you mean it needs sse3 for building a version that doesn't require sse3?18:01
fabrice_sptumbleweed, not sure about not requiringsse3 to run, but build requires it18:01
fabrice_spI have to disable the sse3 detection, and upload to a ppa, to test18:01
fabrice_spBlackZ, your comment in Bug 589120 means that it can be a sync?18:03

tumbleweedtime for canonical to upgrade the buildd farm :)18:08

fabrice_spBlackZ, why the second hcnage is still required?18:38

BlackZfabrice_sp: then feel free to rename the bug and delete the patch18:48
BlackZI can't right now18:49
fabrice_spif I were sure, I would have done it already :-)18:49
fabrice_spI'll try to build 0.2.8-1ubuntu1 in lucid, to see if it FTBFS18:50
