micahgcody-somerville: I have a question about adding myself to the DMB agenda, there's no place for Package sets, so I was thinking to add Package Set applications between MOTU and contributing devs02:18
micahggeser: unping02:19
cody-somervillemicahg, Are you requesting a new package set? Or asking to be granted upload for an existing package set?02:19
micahgcody-somerville: upload rights02:19
cody-somervillemicahg, Is there a team that grants those rights?02:20
micahgcody-somerville: DMB02:20
micahgcody-somerville: Mozilla package set that was approved 3 weeks ago :)02:20
cody-somervilleSo we didn't delegate authority for the packageset to another team or something?02:21
micahgcody-somerville: no, not that I recall02:21
cody-somervillePerPackageUploader Applications section or a new section is fine02:21
micahgcody-somerville: are most package set applications authorized by a team other than the DMB?02:22
cody-somervillesome, not all.02:22

iontethe problem is that during debuild it first tries to clean ("make clean"), but it has not generated any Makefile yet12:21

xteejxQUESTION: If grab-merge shows C* changes between Ubuntu and Debian, but I can see that the files are the same apart from whitespace, can it be synced (the Ubuntu changes were implemented in Debian)12:28
xteejxActually, does it even need merged or synced at all if that is the only change?12:30
tumbleweedxteejx: doesn't C stand for conflict? If ubuntu's changes could be successfully merged, you won't see them in the report12:31
xteejxtumbleweed: The conflict is only whitespace between Debian and Ubuntu versions12:31
xteejx100% sure on that12:31
shadeslayerok this is a diff b/w the control file of debian and ubuntu : http://pastebin.com/fBVZHyyw12:32
tumbleweedxteejx: that doesn't mean debian has merged ubuntu's changes12:32
shadeslayerdo i need to change line 18 and 17 ?12:32

shadeslayertumbleweed: ok...12:33
xteejxI'm getting good with these merges :D Just keep forgetting to add the LP tag :S12:34
tumbleweedit looks more likely that debian changed things there than ubuntu did12:34
xteejxHuh? Why is virtualbox-use-guest-dkms selected for install with an update in Maverick??12:36
shadeslayer_tumbleweed: seems that debian also released a new upstream version,will mention in changelog12:36
shadeslayer_tumbleweed: also since debian has a package the version should have 1ubuntu1 right? ( just confirming )12:41
tumbleweedshadeslayer_: assuming we still need ubuntu changes, yes12:41
tumbleweedshadeslayer_: are they relevant to debian? Have they been forwarded?12:42
shadeslayer_tumbleweed: the ubuntu changes?12:42
shadeslayer_i dont think theres anything different apart from the control file12:42
tumbleweedshadeslayer_: which package?12:43
shadeslayer_tumbleweed: kredentials12:43
shadeslayer_tumbleweed: its on MoM12:44

BlackZfabrice_sp: check the bug report, I have marked it as "Triaged", for now18:31
fabrice_spit's a kind of borderline, as Debian don't have the problem and upstream could answer that it's not 'useful'18:31
fabrice_spoh, that's why I received an update of that bug report18:31

fabrice_spdobey, so just create one :-)18:36
dobeyfabrice_sp: i can't think of one either18:36
fabrice_spby the way, you know that you can (and probabaly should) submit your package to Debian too?18:36
dobeyfind also includes linking in my brain18:36
james_wdobey: yes, if it's in lucid-update18:37
james_ws18:37
dobeyyes i know that. but trying to keep its exposure minimal, per upstream request18:37
dobeyjames_w: ok, thanks18:37
fabrice_spdobey, about watch file: if there is no tarball, you should probably add a get-orig-source target in your rules file18:39
dobeyfabrice_sp: and just have it do bzr branch?18:40
fabrice_spcreate a tarball, as you need a tarball to upload it18:42
fabrice_spby the way, the PKG-INFO file contains the following description "Graceful platform for test doubles in Python (mocks, stubs, fakes, and dummies)."18:42
fabrice_spand to be honest, I don't even know what it is about :-)18:42
dobeyi made a tarball18:43
dobeythe orig.tar.gz is the tarball18:44
dobeybut i can't upload that as a release18:44
dobeyon the launchpad mocker page18:44
dobeyyes it does, and that is a very non-descript description :)18:44
fabrice_spI know, but we need some way to be able to recreate the tarball automatically18:45
dobeyand how exactly does that work for other packages which are just snapshots from git/svn/whatever?18:46
fabrice_spyou can check aptoncd package18:49

fabrice_spdobey, it's get-orig-source. let me check :-)19:54
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: ok ive had a look and all ubuntu changes can be dropped.. there was a build dep on dpatch in libyahoo2 which was required for a patch to fix FTBFS19:54
shadeslayernow that it doesnt FTBFS we can drop it19:55

fabrice_spdobey, yes: I had hard time to actually find the correct command :-)19:56
dobeywhich is weird, because looking at that, it seems broken19:56
dobeylooks like it is using the previous version in the debian/changelog as the version, rather than what might be in the bzr tree19:56
fabrice_spshadeslayer, if so, then create the sync bug with requestsync19:56
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: awesome :)19:57
fabrice_spand don't forget to explain why you think that the diff can be dropped19:58
fabrice_spdobey, only for the upstream version19:58
fabrice_spI may have hardcoded it though19:59
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: any idea where pbuilder keeps build logs?19:59
dobeyyes, for the upstream version. but it may be incorrect19:59

NorthernLightsThat's great, thanks.20:06
NorthernLightsI also commented on a few packages but had not so much answer, except for http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/gmail-notifier20:07
NorthernLightsAlso i was reading docs about MOTU yesterday and was wondering: how much time does it eat you? Being a MOTU and a Debian dev20:07
fabrice_spdobey, yes, you're right, but as I saw that the stable version was in 2007, I thought that only bzr would be released :-)20:07
fabrice_spNorthernLights, it depends the time you want to spend :-)20:08
NorthernLightsfabrice_sp, for instance, you?20:08
fabrice_spNorthernLights, around 3 hours a day during the week, and very variable during the week end20:09

fabrice_splet me check my wiki page :-)20:12
dobeyfabrice_sp: so i guess uscan was just failing during the lucid cycle, for gnome-kerying for example, in the same manner, while there were snapshots of it being packaged20:12
NorthernLightsNo bug triaging or package maintaining?20:12
NorthernLightsYes i guess i could check it too20:12
dobeyfabrice_sp: actually, gnome-keyring still fails, because for some reason it is versionsed as "2.92.92.is.2.30.1"20:13
dobeyfor the upstream version20:13

shadeslayerfabrice_sp: will use next time... what info does it add?20:36
tumbleweedshadeslayer: it saves you effort20:36
shadeslayertumbleweed: :P20:37
fabrice_spthe script I uses fail to automatically check it20:37
bhargavfabrice_sp http://pastebin.com/pdxiwrd520:37
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: want me to refile?20:37
fabrice_spshadeslayer, I mean there is a helper script for sync request ack that fails in this case20:38
shadeslayerhmm20:38
fabrice_spif you don't mind: just copy/paste the description adn the title from the generated one20:38
shadeslayersure20:38
fabrice_spbhargav, the less derivation from Debian, the better20:39
fabrice_spespecially if it's just to keep lintian happy :-)20:40
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: updated bug 59522420:40
ubottuLaunchpad bug 595224 in libyahoo2 (Ubuntu) "Sync libyahoo2 1.0.0-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/59522420:40
bhargavfabrice_sp, what about line 82 and 8420:40
shadeslayerdo i copy the changelogs as well? like in the report...20:40
fabrice_spshadeslayer, yes, please20:41
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: fixed :)20:42
fabrice_spbhargav, I have no opinion on that. Maybe someone else have an opinion on that kde -> devel change20:43
fabrice_spshadeslayer, thanks. I'll check20:43
fabrice_spa bit later20:43
shadeslayersure20:44
bhargavfabrice_sp, anyways thanks20:44
ari-tczewMoM (merges.ubuntu.com) has very ardous bug. new available merge shows deprecated comment from old (previous) merge. this is misleading.20:58
LaneyI believe you can file a bug on lp/merge-o-matic20:59
ari-tczewis anyone taking care about MoM yet?21:02
micahgari-tczew: not all comments will be deprecated by new uploads though21:02
fabrice_spshadeslayer, did you actually check the source code, to see if the patch was integrated?21:02
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: well without the patch it caused FTBFS issues21:03
micahgari-tczew: maybe just a warning on top to make sure the bug is still valid before working on or disregarding a merge21:03
tumbleweedyeah, it'd be sensible to expire comments that just mention a resolved bug21:03
shadeslayerlike the changelog says...21:03
fabrice_spActually, there is an undocumented change. Did you checked it?21:03
micahgtumbleweed: nope, that won't work either21:03
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: where?21:03
fabrice_sphttp://patches.ubuntu.com/by-release/ubuntu/liby/libyahoo2/21:03
fabrice_spin debian/rules21:03
tumbleweedmicahg: even different bug fixed logo would make an enormous difference21:04
micahgtumbleweed: for merge in progress that works, but not for blacklist21:04
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: ill dget  the files.. hold one sec21:04
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: in the ubuntu package?21:04
fabrice_spyep21:05
tumbleweedmicahg: oh yes21:05
fabrice_spshadeslayer, it seems the changed line is not there anymore, so it seems safe to sync21:05
ari-tczewmicahg: I don't know whether all comments are deprecated, but I see a lot of examples this issue21:05
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: :)21:06
micahgari-tczew: indeed, if packages are on the blacklist are excluded from MoM and the bugs that are fix released are removed, I think we might be ok21:06
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: the patch we introduced was to stop the package from failing to build from source21:07
ari-tczewmicahg: blacklist from MoM?21:07
shadeslayerit was probably forwarded upstream....21:07
micahgari-tczew: blacklisted sync packages were excluded from MoM21:08
ari-tczewmicahg: I think you are wrong, because I see also comments like "done", when package is not merged - comment has been excavated from previous merge21:09
fabrice_spshadeslayer, or it's not required anymore because the aPI changed back to what is was :-)21:09
shadeslayer:)21:10
micahgari-tczew: well, comments like that probably shouldn't be there in the first place IMHO21:10
fabrice_spshadeslayer, by the way, your email adress is not public ;-)21:10
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: ??21:10
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: on my LP page?21:10
ari-tczewmicahg: first place?21:11
fabrice_spyes, the ack-sync script sign the package with the email address, and in your case, it fails to get it21:11
micahgari-tczew: should not have been added at all21:11
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: theres no option to set it as public :P21:11
shadeslayernvm21:11
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: try now...21:12
fabrice_sptoo late: I manually acked the sync request21:12
fabrice_sp:-)21:12
ari-tczewmicahg: so are you agree that this is a bug?21:12
micahgari-tczew: well, those are IMHO user errors :)21:13
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: :P21:13
micahgari-tczew: maybe it should just be a field for bug #'s and not comments21:14
ari-tczewmicahg: so do you think that someone adds these comments by mistake? I don't think so...21:14
micahgari-tczew: no, but perhaps it's a process issue21:14
ari-tczewmicahg: IMO MoM not delete comments cache when package has been uploaded21:16
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: what does the script you refer to do?21:16
fabrice_spshadeslayer, ack-sync21:17
micahgari-tczew: yes, but that doesn't always make the comment outdated, you need to address the blacklist issue as well21:17
fabrice_spshadeslayer, it makes the sponsoring of sync request easier21:17
shadeslayerok21:17
ari-tczewmicahg: we need a modern merges system management :-)21:19
micahgari-tczew: ok :), maybe speak with dholbach as I thought the new harvest would incorporate some of this21:20
ari-tczewwhat do you think, can we reduce remaining merges to ~50 (50 in main and 50 in universe) before FeatureFreeze?21:21
* micahg will do his merges after getting upload rights (hopefully) at the beginning of the alpha3 cycle21:23
* micahg will do them even if he doesn't get the upload rights though :)21:23
ari-tczewis micahg going to join MOTU?21:24
micahgari-tczew: no, I have my own package set :)21:24
micahgari-tczew: I'm working on the xulrunner rdepends and mozilla apps21:25
micahgari-tczew: I might go for MOTU next year21:27

geserHi ajmitch21:32
* ajmitch would upload some packages if his laptop would stop fscking21:32
geserupgrade to ext421:33
ajmitchI probably should, because this gets annoying just often enough to make me want to change it21:34
ari-tczewext4 sucks, I can't integrate ext4 in my WinXP21:35
chrisccoulsonmicahg - is there anything else that needs to happen to get the packageset implemented btw?21:35
chrisccoulsonthat's thefault of WinXP21:35
chrisccoulsonnot ext4 ;)21:35
micahgchrisccoulson: aside from cjwatson having time, not that I know of21:35
ari-tczewonly ext3 I can use by ifs driver21:35
cjwatsonnag me once every couple of days and I swear I'll do it21:35
cjwatsonhopefully tomorrow21:35
chrisccoulsoncjwatson - awesome, thanks :)21:36
chrisccoulsonand thanks micahg for organising this too ;)21:36
gesercjwatson: you will do it just to stop chrisccoulson nagging you? :)21:37
chrisccoulsonlol, i don't really nag do i?21:38
cjwatsongeser: you'd be amazed at how much of my schedule is the desire for an easy life21:38
shadeslayerfabrice_sp: does the sync script add stuff like XSBC maintainer by itself?21:47
sebnershadeslayer: why do you need XSBC for a sync ;)21:55
shadeslayersebner: well for the control file.. i thought we need the XSBC field in control.. or do we not?21:56
sebnershadeslayer: you know what a sync is, do you?21:56
sebnershadeslayer: sync = packages taken 1:1 from debian21:56
sebnershadeslayer: what you are talking about is a merge21:56
shadeslayersebner: ohhh... so we dont even change the package one bit? awesome ....21:57
sebnershadeslayer: else we wouldn't be able to do auto-syncs21:57
=== eric is now known as EricBa
shadeslayersebner: right!21:57
sebner:)21:57
* shadeslayer sees another sync coming through21:57
shadeslayeryep21:57
micahgshadeslayer: only the maintainer filed is mangled in the buildds21:58
micahg*field21:58
blueyedIs there no backport of debootstrap yet? (for lucid)22:10
blueyedThis is required by mk-sbuild for example.22:10
EricBaHello, is there any motu who has some time to review my package? It's already reviewed by one motu. My programm is a wallpaper changer for gnome. - http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/cortina22:10
SpamapShmm.. is REVU still the proper way to add packages?22:15
SpamapShttp://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/pylibmc22:15
SpamapS"Package is for "maverick" but only packages for "lucid" are currently accepted."22:15
ajmitchit is, that's a mistake22:16
ajmitchsome issues are because it's hard to upgrade stuff on that server :)22:17
geserit's better to get new packages into Debian so both Debian and Ubuntu benefit from it (and because we have a lack of reviewers)22:19
lifelessgeser: we can still review here22:19
micahggeser: can only MOTU and core-dev review packages or any dev?22:20
ajmitchmicahg: anyone can leave comments, not everyone can advocate22:20
* ajmitch wonders if it's safe to change the default distribution in revu.cfg22:20
micahgajmitch: what about advocating?22:21
geserI'm not sure about the current state of REVU: only MOTU and core-dev can advocate, but others can add comments too22:21
ajmitchmicahg: motu can advocate, not sure if it checks that team or ~ubuntu-dev22:21
ajmitchpackage sets have made things complicated again :)22:22
ajmitchor at least PPU22:22
SpamapSgeser: I've filed an ITP too, but I am not a debian developer and I'm not sure I'll be able to get it into debian in time for Alpha2. We're trying to get Maverick's memcache support much better. :)22:23
ajmitchSpamapS: given that it's a python package, #debian-python on OFTC will probably welcome it as well22:24
ajmitchwhether you get it into debian or ubuntu first, that's still a good place to follow up on getting it sponsored :)22:25

geseroh, it's already synced22:27
SpamapS1.0 is really old22:27
SpamapSlike.. months. ;)22:27

ajmitchyeah, 30 hours isn't long :)22:28
SpamapShaha doh22:28
SpamapSok22:28
geserand it's in the binary NEW queue22:28
SpamapShmm, I only looked in WNPP22:28
SpamapSbecause 2 weeks ago I looked in packages and it wasn't there22:28
shadeslayergeser: whats our policy on packages in debian experimental?:22:28
SpamapSshould have re-checked packages I guess. :-P22:28
shadeslayerlike can we sync/merge those?22:28
ajmitchSpamapS: it was uploaded in december to debian22:29
SpamapSajmitch: I swear I didn't find it on packages.debian.org.. :-P22:29
SpamapSbleh.. how embarassing22:29
ajmitchjust quietly close the debian ITP... :)22:29
SpamapSI intend to22:30
gesershadeslayer: you mean syncing from experimental? if you have a good reason for it, it can be done22:30
SpamapSso if its been in debian unstable since dec why isn't it synced yet?22:30
ajmitchSpamapS: it was just synced (30 hours ago)22:30
micahgSpamapS: Lucid sync'd from testing22:31
shadeslayergeser: hmm.. im asking because theres a new package called workbench that needs to be added to repos22:31
ajmitchit wasn't automagically synced to maverick because new get checked over by archive admins at least a little bit22:31
SpamapSmicahg: ah22:33
gesershadeslayer: if you have tested that the package works, that's a good enough reason to sync from experimental (it should be just something more than "experimental has a newer version")22:33
shadeslayergeser: of course ;)22:33
shadeslayergeser: the new mysql workbench replaces mysql query browser and administrator22:35
shadeslayerand #debian-mentors says since the release is a RC it will go in experimental22:35
SpamapShrm.. so the problem with pylibmc 1.0 is that it doesn't work with libmemcached 0.4022:41

shadeslayermicahg: if suppose packaging copyright is held by a company and we package a new version for ubuntu ( not in the repo aka native package ),do we retain the copyright? and will it get past the upload queue23:08
lifelessshadeslayer: as long as the *licence* you put on the copyright material is acceptable23:08
lifelessshadeslayer: nothing (in terms of package uploads/inclusion) Ubuntu is affected by who holds the copyright, its *all* about the licensing23:09
shadeslayerah ok...23:09
shadeslayerthe debs released by the company are not in the repos were packaging a new version :)23:09

* shadeslayer returns to merging ming3223:13
bdrung_looking at mom, i see: If you are not the previous uploader, ask the previous uploader before doing the merge. This prevents two people from doing the same work.23:31
bdrung_how far do we need to go? is it enough to check if the person is available on IRC and ask him/her?23:31
ajmitchemail might be nice, especially with some people not being on IRC at the same time as you23:34
bdrung_ajmitch: and how long should someone wait for a response?23:36
ajmitchI don't know, it may depend on how much work the merge is and how close to freeze time it is, or how active the previous merger has been lately23:37
* micahg would suggest 72 hrs23:38
shadeslayerany sponsors around?23:41
* maco hides23:41
shadeslayermaco: ah there you are :)23:41
shadeslayermaco: just one sec..23:41
macowere my ears stickin out? darn it23:41

macobdrung_: yeah im just playing around since i was sponsoring for shadeslayer yesterday and was warned there were more to come23:43
ajmitchmaco: you can still run23:43
macoheh23:43
macoim assuming itll be kde extragear stuff23:43
* shadeslayer gets a rope :)23:43
bdrung_ajmitch: micahg: it's not easy to evaluate how active the previous merger has been lately. it would be nice if there were a recommended way (for example how long you should wait)23:44
shadeslayermaco: nah.. ming32 compiler this time :)23:44
shadeslayerim just waiting for a fresh download of the package from debian..23:44
shadeslayeri might have removed a patch in the debian package by mistake :P23:44
bdrung_maco: can i ask you to do some sponsoring and warn you that more will come too?23:44
ajmitchI doubt there's any agreed-upon time that you should wait23:45
ajmitchthough a day or two seems reasonable23:45
* ajmitch would just like to get the merge list cleared up a little23:45
macoshadeslayer: awww i thought you were just gonna use me to improve the kde : not-kde ratio!23:46
shadeslayermaco: hehe...23:46
* ajmitch does wish that MoM comments didn't stick around from one release to the next23:46
shadeslayermaco: well ming32 helps in a way :P23:46
shadeslayeryou can use it to compile kde in windows ><23:46
shadeslayermaco: can you dget this : http://packages.debian.org/sid/mingw3223:48
