[00:05] * shadeslayer wonders if maco ran away [00:05] ajmitch: bdrung_, well, I know there are times when I can't be at my computer for 72 hrs straight [00:05] not often, but possible [00:06] shadeslayer: no was just chatting [00:06] maco: just kidding :P === nobawk|away is now known as nobawk [00:06] im just testing out the package once again to see if it builds correctly [00:07] micahg, ajmitch: we need a better policy or tools for that. [00:07] bdrung_: actually, I would think 7 days isn't unreasonable, at the beginning of a cycle, 3 in the middle, 1 near the end [00:09] * ajmitch generally prefers less policy, not more [00:12] I don't think it needs to be formal [00:12] just try to make contact and wait a reasonable amount of time to hear back [00:12] common sense generally works [00:12] +1 [00:12] maco: yep builds perfectly [00:13] Laney: ajmitch: bdrung_: maybe a note to come in here and ask if the contributor thinks they've waited a reasonable amount of time [00:15] I'm not sure there's even a big problem to solve [00:15] although I did notice that someone merged one of my TIL packages the other day without checking with me [00:16] I don't think it was me :) [00:16] * micahg almost had one sync'd w/out being asked (luckily I filed the bug shortly before :) ) [00:16] Laney, ajmitch, micahg: the word policy was too strong. having a recommendation or a usual way described would be nice. [00:17] I thought that is what we have [00:17] * bdrung_ had one package synced and wondered why his syncpackage script failed. [00:17] bdrung_: yeah, it's on there, but people apparently don't read it :( [00:17] micahg: of course not [00:18] i would like to have a more verbose version of it. [00:18] anyway it is actually only a recommendation, so you can't really complain so much [00:18] we don't have maintainers after all ;) [00:19] Laney: true, but the community is normally courteous [00:20] it would be nice to have a way to specify your preference. for some package i want to be asked and for other package i don't care about it. [00:21] No, you can't block others from working on a package [00:21] if you want someone else to take your merge then just leave a comment on mom [00:23] Laney: it was not meant to block other. i want to be ask for some package, because i work on them and want to avoid wasted time [00:25] maco: put a hold on the upload,i think i might be able to close bug 221979 with this upload [00:25] Launchpad bug 221979 in mingw32 (Ubuntu) "Inconsistent snprintf format specification parsing" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/221979 [00:25] the bug has a patch :P [00:25] shadeslayer: okie [00:26] shadeslayer: you an ubuntu member? if so, stash a source package's requisite files on your people.ubuntu.com and point me at it [00:26] shadeslayer: when you have it all ready i mean [00:26] maco: no :( [00:27] maco: ive applied for membership tho [00:27] which board?

Surely it'd normally just install the damn thing regardless [11:14] Do I need to change the control file to something like build-depends: libnet6-1.3-0 | libnet6-1.3-dev ?? [11:15] obviously there are other deps ;) [11:17] BlackZ: ?? ^ [11:19] anyone? [11:20] xteejx: do you have universe enabled in your pbuilder? [11:20] geser: I'll be honest I don't know [11:20] and no, you don't need to change the build-dependency [11:20] this error message is a common one if universe isn't enabled [11:20] is this the ~/.pbuilderrc thing?

[11:25] xteejx: no, the use the correct components when build for main (main only) or universe (main+universe) or multiverse (main+universe+multiverse) [11:26] I copied the components section from the wiki page, updating now [11:27] All working now, no more bitching about supposed virtual packages :D [11:27] thanks guys [11:29] Hey motus, bug #595398 [11:29] Launchpad bug 595398 in acm (Ubuntu) "Please merge acm 5.0-27 (universe) from Debian testing" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/595398 [11:29] it's in progress [11:30] set it confirmed if you're done with it and subscirbe universe sponsors [11:31] xteejx: I have done it, why confirmed? ok, I have subscribed both sponsors and universe-sponsors [11:32] well in progress means it's in progress, but if you've generated your debdiffs, etc then its no longer in progress... lol [11:33] motu say set confirmed since not everyone is able to set Triaged [11:34] xteejx: I cat set it to Triaged. [11:34] hence "confirmed" [11:34] xteejx: I don't know what to do in case of merge bugs [11:35] * bilalakhtar reconsults the Triage Guide [11:35] you created 2 debdiffs between versions so you must have some idea what you're doing [11:35] and you can set Triaged status, you're bug control same as me [11:36] xteejx: I know. This is the first merge I am working on [11:36] ohhh right I see [11:37] I tried acm but gave up, build problems [11:37] I'm learning to do merges myself so I'm probably not a great deal of help [11:37] "Do not assign a bug to anyone if it needs sponsorship.

[19:33] filtergen doesn't depend on any patch-system [19:33] it patches the code directly [19:34] ari-tczew: and please don't instruct other to change the packaging system [19:35] geser: ok [19:38] ari-tczew: thanks for the other advises anyway [19:38] geser, ScottK: I just wanted to help him, but it's turned against me as always [19:39] ari-tczew: I'm glad you're trying to help.
