| Riddell | I've never run new-source before but I'm doing so now, is there anything I should look out for? | 10:50 |
|---|---|---|
| Riddell | if I feed it into sync-source.py it seems to run for a few packages before running into errors, it'll take quite a few runs (removing packages already done/errored) to complete | 10:51 |
| ajmitch | Riddell: oh, about sync-source.py - I've got a local change to LP that I wanted to run past some archive admins, which is special-casing -XfakesyncY revisions where the upstream versions in ubuntu & debian are the same | 11:16 |
| * ajmitch isn't sure how useful it'll be for archive admins, but if it is, I'll submit it to LP | 11:16 | |
| Riddell | ajmitch: you mean packages that have "fakesync" in their version numbers? | 11:19 |
| ajmitch | yes | 11:21 |
| ajmitch | a few have been uploaded recently | 11:21 |
| ajmitch | it'd just be for convenience, bailing out with a decent error message insted of choking on the orig.tar.gz | 11:22 |
| ajmitch | this came up because we were checking whether packages with 'build' in the version number were a special case, or just those with 'ubuntu' | 11:23 |
| Riddell | ajmitch: seems interesting | 11:34 |
| ajmitch | perhaps, I'll pass it by one of the others before I put a merge proposal in :) | 11:38 |
| cjwatson | Riddell: new-source> could you stop pleasE? | 11:42 |
| cjwatson | Riddell: you need to first filter it for things that have been removed from Ubuntu but not blacklisted | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | Riddell: those all need to be checked by hand | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | ajmitch: as I said on ubuntu-devel, why not just use 'ubuntu' there? | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | well, I suppose it does have definitely distinct semantics, but in any case, it'd be nice if people who disagree followed up to my mail | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | Riddell: if you've already flushed a pile of stuff through, then please go back and check the list to see which ones shouldn't have been reintroduced | 11:44 |
| Riddell | cjwatson: I have, they're in New queue now | 11:45 |
| Riddell | how do I check to see which ones shouldn't have been reintroduced? | 11:45 |
| ajmitch | cjwatson: it's a fairly minor difference wrt ubuntu vs fakesync, it'd let those package be automatically synced without having to be checked through when a new upstream version hits | 11:47 |
| * ajmitch had missed which mail you were referring to, though | 11:47 | |
| cjwatson | Riddell: you have to trawl through publication histories in LP, and then look through the reasons why they were removed | 12:08 |
| cjwatson | this takes a while and it's why I'd only done part of them; most of the ones that remain are either relatively new, or difficult | 12:08 |
| Riddell | cjwatson: and the file new-source-formerly-in-ubuntu is part of that? | 12:09 |
| cjwatson | ajmitch: if you're making sure the autosync only happens when the upstream versions are different and that otherwise we silently skip those packages without breaking the autosync run, then it sounds like a worthwhile improvement | 12:09 |
| ajmitch | cjwatson: that was the intent | 12:10 |
| cjwatson | Riddell: that was my list of packages from new-source that had a prior publication history as of whenever that file is dated, yes | 12:10 |
| cjwatson | Riddell: of course it won't take account of any packages that might have been reintroduced to Debian having previously been in Ubuntu before that | 12:10 |
| ajmitch | I don't know how silent you need it, it'll currently print a line about not updating | 12:10 |
| cjwatson | ... since then | 12:10 |
| cjwatson | doesn't need to be silent, just needs to not fall over | 12:10 |
| ajmitch | either way, it's only 10 lines of diff | 12:10 |
| * ajmitch will follow up with it tomorrow, it's not a part of LP that has tests at the moment | 12:16 | |
| wgrant | ajmitch: You know to ignore the SyncSource tests which don't actually test the current implementation? | 12:18 |
| ajmitch | wgrant: afaik there aren't tests for scripts/ftpmaster-tools, which is where the change was made | 12:19 |
| ajmitch | though I'm not surprised that there are tests to be ignored | 12:19 |
| wgrant | ajmitch: Right. But there's another SyncSource implementation lurking around somewhere from years ago. it was mostly written and tested, but never completed. | 12:20 |
| ajmitch | wonderful | 12:20 |

| Riddell | cjwatson: so if the publication history is empty e.g. https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/beid/+publishinghistory that means it should be safe to let into the archive? | 14:22 |
| cjwatson | yes | 14:27 |
