[00:16] <micahg> bdrung_: sorry about the vlc bug, didn't see your comment
[00:16] <bdrung_> micahg: no problem
[00:17] <bdrung_> micahg: making it a duplicate was a good idea
[00:18] <micahg> bdrung_: thanks
[01:57] <mikelifeguard> Where should I begin learning how to create a package for ubuntu?
[01:59] <ChogyDan> mikelifeguard: I've been trying to figure that out myself.  I found some docs on how to unpack and then repack a package, and that's about as far as I got  :p    Wana start there?
[02:00] <mikelifeguard> I found https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html ... not sure how reliable documentation is from 4 years ago :s
[02:01] <ChogyDan> !packaging | mikelifeguard
[02:01] <mikelifeguard> ah, thanks :)
[02:01]  * mikelifeguard settles down for a good read
[06:52] <dholbach> good morning
[08:33] <Rhonda> cjwatson: May I query you for a moment? :)
[08:36] <cjwatson> Rhonda: I'm not around much until a few hours from now, but feel free to and I'll answer when I'm able
[17:17] <ari-tczew> remaining merges in universe are less than in main!
[17:17] <ari-tczew> \o/
[17:48] <Rhonda> \o/
[17:48] <Rhonda> Hmm.
[17:48] <Rhonda> I thought maverick is synced from unstable?
[17:49] <Rhonda> gitolite has a newer version in unstable for almost a week now?
[17:49] <geser> Rhonda: yes, but we are after DIF now.
[17:49] <geser> Someone has to file a sync request if this new version is worth syncing
[17:50] <Rhonda> uh? already?
[17:50] <Rhonda> I'll do.
[17:51] <geser> DIF started Jun 24th
[18:21] <Rhonda> I see, thanks for the update. :)
[18:24] <Rhonda> bug #600731 - any sponsors around? git community would be thankful ;)
[18:30] <Rhonda> Actually I think with such early import freezes it's not really correct to brag around with "never more than six months away from the latest version of anything" on the website, to be honest.
[18:30] <Rhonda> What launchpad project would I have to file a bugreport about that against?
[18:31] <Laney> it's in no way guaranteed to get a new version of anything really
[18:31] <Laney> ubuntu-website I think
[18:32] <Rhonda> Laney: My words, so bragging around like that is on one hand marketing, on the other an quite easy to check … well, let's call it "incorrectness".
[18:33] <geser> does this bragging apply to universe too or only packages in main? (not sure if it's even true for main)
[18:33] <Laney> "not more than 6 months at the time of release" is probably the closest you could get
[18:34] <Rhonda> geser: It is on the ubuntu-and-debian page, which makes it even more false marketing and leaves a bad aftertaste.
[18:34] <Rhonda> geser: It applies to "anything in the open-source world".
[18:35] <Rhonda> Laney: Which still is inaccurate.
[18:36] <Laney> yep
[18:37] <geser> and for package in universe especially we rely on the DD updating the package so we can sync it
[19:03] <Rhonda> bdrung_: Thanks  . o O ( now we are there, right?  :P )
