alketHi02:19
alketWhat does MOTU do ?02:20
arand!motu02:21
ubottumotu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU02:21
alketSo what do you do, i mean how do you maintain them, where do you find them ?02:21
* arand is not a motu by the way...02:23
alketanyone ?02:27
arandalket: Mainly packages comes from debian, some patching/merging is done if necessary, and they're stuck in ubuntu, or a new *upstream* version is taken into ubuntu and merged into the current packaging, or a whole new application is packaged from scratch... For general details, the wiki would likely be the place, ubuntu, or debian's which should be more exhaustive I gues..02:27
alketthankyou arand02:28
arandAnd as you may have noticed, this is one of the more quiet times for this channel..02:31
alketthis is actually my third time over a long time02:32
alketI always wanted to get involved in something for ubuntu02:32
alketnever had a right place02:32
lfaraonecould someone take a look at this diagram I generated about the versioning/basing of a debian/ubuntu/ppa package? It's at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/103749/loadupp.svg04:03
micahglfaraone: usually a good idea to use 1~ppa1 instead of 1ppa1 in case a sync is possible04:08
lfaraonemicahg: would'nt ~ppa1 mean that the -1 would trump?04:09
micahglfaraone: yep04:09
micahglfaraone: am I reading it wrong04:10
lfaraonemicahg: I mean "if this package is in the archives and you are making modifications to it"04:10
* micahg guesses he should have asked what modif means :)04:10
lfaraonemotdif == changes beyond a rebuild. release means a New Upstream Version.04:11
micahglfaraone: ah, than it looks fine, but I'm not officially a dev, so my opinion doesn't carry too much weight :)04:12
lfaraonemicahg: well, I'm officially a dev and I still am not sure. getting the magic hand logo on your LP profile doesn't grant you all knowledge of the universe, just the mastery of it :D04:14
ScottKlfaraone: If you are taking an existing version, making changes to it, and putting it in a PPA, I usually us +ppa1 at the end.04:17
lfaraoneScottK: okay. is +ppa1 better than ppa1? (since I've told the folks I've been mentoring to use the latter <_<;)04:19
ScottKFor #6 I'd call it 1.2-1ubuntu1~ppa1.04:19
ScottKlfaraone: Functionally it's the same.  I think +ppa1 is clearer.04:19
micahganyone care to sponsor a no source change rebuild for gjs?04:20
lfaraonemicahg: sure. rationale?04:24
lfaraoneand/or bug :D04:24
micahgbug 597944 :)04:24
ubottuLaunchpad bug 597944 in gjs (Ubuntu) "libgjs needs a rebuild for xulrunner-1.9.2.4" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/59794404:24
lfaraoneScottK: for No-Change Rebuilds, I can just increment the debian revision part by "build1", so it'd read "-1ubuntu3build1", right?04:26
ScottKlfaraone: If there's already an ubuntuX revision, just increment that.  Use -1ubuntu4.04:26
ScottKThe only reason to use XbuildY is the sync scripts know it's OK to sync over that.04:27
ScottKIf it's already got real changes, that's not relevant.04:27

dholbachmicahg: can you remind me of it when gjs has built?07:17

micahgdholbach: k, don't worry then, I'll just ping seb and let him know07:18
dholbachor just ask in here once gjs has built07:18

dholbachtumbleweed, neversfelde, dobey: hey guys - you were among the last folks who got into ~ubuntu-dev - could you imagine giving a session at Ubuntu Developer Week about your experience or suggest a good topic or talk about anything related to development that'd interest new contributors? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Prep has the current list of topics and the preliminary schedule - we still have open slots :-D12:00
tumbleweeddholbach: sure, I'll give it some thought12:07
* dholbach hugs tumbleweed12:08
dholbachtumbleweed: let me know which slot on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Prep would suit you and I can block it out12:08
dholbachtumbleweed: also if you want to give the session together with somebody else, that'd be cool too12:09
tumbleweeddholbach: lol12:31
tumbleweeddholbach: I don't have anyone in mind for combined session. Rhonda's dh suggestion is something I could do - otherwise my primary knowledge is python packaging12:34
dholbachtumbleweed: that sounds great to me12:40
dholbachtumbleweed: you rock, Rhonda: you guys could work with each other on that :)12:46
RhondaI'm not sure if tumbleweed has an idea what I am longing for - I don't want to cover debhelper itself but rather look under the hood. :)12:52
tumbleweedRhonda: how far under the hood?12:53
shadeslayerhehe ...12:54
Rhondatumbleweed: as far as "dpkg --build debian/$PKG .."  ;)12:54
Rhondatumbleweed: Like e.g. in http://git.deb.at/w/pkg/beep.git/blob/f17681:/debian/rules12:55
tumbleweedRhonda: ok, in that case I did miss the aim of your suggestion12:56
* Rhonda hides. :)12:56
tumbleweedRhonda: it's a lot of ground to cover in an hour12:58
LaneyI reckons that a "how to work with Debian" sesh could be good12:59
RhondaLaney: I was asked to do it - by someone who considered me a MOTU. :)13:00
Rhondatumbleweed: Sure. I'll see how far I can get.13:00
Rhondatumbleweed: Actually I want to start off with "ar x foo.deb" and explain the three files you get from that. ;)13:00
LaneyRhonda: that's a good sign that you should become one :)13:00
tumbleweedoh, so you intend to do it? I thought from your suggestion that you wanted the talk but didn't want to give it13:00
Laneyi'm going to steal a slot13:01
RhondaNo, dholbach asked me what I could help with and I throw that catch phrase at him. He just blindly copied it into the wiki, putting me in the action point. %-)13:01
tumbleweedright13:01
RhondaLaney: Well, but that takes time, nothing doable in two week's time, including talk preperation. :)13:02
LaneyI didn't mean that UDW was a deadline for it13:02
Laneyyou can talk about your experiences from the other side anyway :)13:02
LaneyI booked it in... would be good to give it jointly with a DD ;)13:03
dholbachand if it doesn't work out for UDW, we can always do it for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Packaging/Training/ :-D13:03
RhondaMight contain some critisism (me: "Please send patches you deem usable for Debian back." they: "Received bad feedback once, stopped doing that." me: "Not every DD is like that." they: "You can't know beforehand, and I'm annoyed." )13:04
RhondaLaney: Not sure that might be so productive. :)13:05
juli_Hi everybody. I'm trying to create and install Maven POMs for the osgi framework (libequinox-osgi-java) according to http://wiki.debian.org/Java/MavenRepoHelper.13:05
juli_I've never done this before so need some review and help. Could someone take a look at debdiff I created for this package: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/59803913:05
ubottuLaunchpad bug 598039 in eclipse (Ubuntu) "add maven poms and register jars in maven-repo" [Low,New]13:05
tumbleweedjuli_: there was a talk on that at a previous developer week: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/devweek1001/JavaLibs13:06
Laneybdrung: ^^^^^13:06
Laneyjuli_: Your diff isn't based on the latest Maverick version, and you spelled maverick wrong in the changelog13:07
Laneyfurthermore, since this package is in sync with Debian I suggest you send the change to the BTS rather than launchpad13:07
nigelbLaney: I was the person who asked Rhonda to talk about working with Debian, if you want to team up him or DktrKranz it would be great :)13:07
juli_Laney, thanks, I suppose guys from eclipse will change it anyway.. it is just a early draft to understand how to do this13:08
nigelbLaney: I also assumed Rhonda was MOTU - about time he became one right? ;)13:08
Rhondanigelb: assuming a him, too? ;)13:08
* Rhonda . o O ( I know it's complicated with me )13:08
nigelbRhonda: oh, you're a she? sorry13:09
Laneya "here's how to make me a happy Debian maintainer" bit would be nice13:09
Laneyif I do "what you need to install to forward patches easily"13:10
Laney(& how to do it)13:10
nigelbLaney: So, you're up for a session about Debian right? ;)13:14
bdrungLaney: we (the DOA team) track the launchpad bugs, too13:14
Laneynigelb: yes indeed13:15
Laneybdrung: I don't know what the DOA team is13:15
RhondaLaney: I think I could do that part about "make me a happy Debian maintainer"13:15
nigelbLaney: orbital alignment team or something13:15
nigelb*something like that13:15
bdrungjuli_: please come to #eclipse-linux or #debian-java (the second one is on OFTC) to discuss your patch - it should go upstream to eclipse-build13:15
RhondaLaney: Just tell me how many lines you want to spare me so I can type it out beforehand and just c&paste with specific irssi delay settings. :P13:16
nigelbRhonda: haha13:16
juli_bdrung, ok, thanks13:16
Laneyhaha13:16
bdrungLaney: Debian Orbital Alignment Team = eclipse team ;)13:17
Rhondanigelb, Laney: hey, I wouldn't be good as sysadmin if I wouldn't be lazy in specific approaches to do work. :)13:17
LaneyThere might be an amount of question answering to do too ;)13:17
Laneybut I'll keep you informed13:17
RhondaSure, questions are tricky to prepare. I don't have one of these James Bond tape recorders that rewinds itself to the appropriate position and can predict all upcoming questions.13:20
