[06:40] <somethinginteres> how would one go about 'fixing' metadata in the software centre.. changing the descriptions I mean as part of the hundred papercuts milestone?
[06:43] <lifeless> I  believe the descriptions are pulled from the packages themselvges
[06:43] <lifeless> I may be wrong - I have not looked closely at this
[06:44] <somethinginteres> ah you're correct - with that in mind do you know of how to change them? I'd like to help with this it seems like something a noob could help with
[06:44] <lifeless> I would start by comparing the description in launchpad (launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/package/) to what you see
[06:44] <ddecator> i know the descriptions shown in synaptic are written as a part of packaging the software. my guess is it's the same for the software center (especially if the descriptions are the same)
[06:44] <lifeless> right
[06:44] <lifeless> so if it looks the same
[06:44] <lifeless> then making a patch to debian/control in the package
[06:44] <lifeless> to make the description better
[06:45] <ddecator> or just changing it yourself and requesting a merge :)
[06:45] <lifeless> and putting that on a bug in launchpad (or a branch - there are varying ways depending on how fluent you are with this stuff)
[06:45] <lifeless> would be good
[06:45] <somethinginteres> I'm like brand new to actually *fixing* stuff rather than reporting...
[06:46] <ddecator> is there something wrong in the description, or do you just want to improve it?
[06:46] <somethinginteres> more just making things clearer in packages that are marked as being confusing for the paper-cuts milestone
[06:47] <ddecator> are you familiar with bzr at all?
[06:48] <somethinginteres> no not really, I'm happy to -become- familiar with it though :)
[06:50] <ddecator> if i can find the right wiki page, i can help you with that
[06:51] <somethinginteres> thanks just want to give a hand if I can.. if it's all over my head so be it but changing metadata shouldn't be much of problem to work out
[06:54] <ddecator> ah, found it finally
[06:54] <ddecator> somethinginteres: mind if i PM you?
[06:55] <somethinginteres> no problem
[11:49] <somethinginteres> can someone give a quick hand with forwarding a patch to debian? I have merge proposal at https://code.launchpad.net/~thelandofwa/ubuntu/maverick/bzflag/fix-desktop-05072010/+merge/29189 but I have been asked to forward it to debian with a patch instead of merging
[11:57] <^arky^> hi mvo
[12:13] <somethinginteres> should I just use 'debuild -s' on the folder that I pulled using bzr branch lp:?
[12:17] <baptistemm> build bd -S would be fine too
[12:17] <baptistemm> hmm "bzr bd -S" rather
[12:23] <somethinginteres> baptistemm: seems generate errors
[12:24] <somethinginteres> baptistemm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/459429/
[12:24] <baptistemm> which are ? (use some pastebin services please)
[12:25] <baptistemm> you don't have all necessary packages to start building
[12:25] <baptistemm> install debhelp
[12:25] <baptistemm> install debhelper
[12:28] <somethinginteres> baptistemm: I've just run install on debhelper but terminal said it couldn't find 'debhelp'
[12:30] <baptistemm> debhel was a typo
[12:30] <baptistemm> I'm a typo specialist
[12:32] <somethinginteres> unfortunately I have another error - different this time (sorry, totally new to bzr especially forwarding to the debian people) http://paste.ubuntu.com/459431/
[12:35] <baptistemm> somethinginteres, I guess coffeetastesawesome@gmail.com is not your email address?
[12:39] <somethinginteres> ah I see it isn't the one I used on launchpad
[12:47] <somethinginteres> baptistemm: do you know how I would change it to match so that the command executes?
[12:48] <baptistemm> it is the address used when you add an entry to debian/changelog
[12:48] <somethinginteres> ok I'll alter it and report back
[12:49] <baptistemm> often it automatically to the value of variable DEBEMAIL
[12:53] <somethinginteres> seems to still be having I problem I changed the DEBMAIL var - does my name need to also match exactly my LP a/c info?
[14:34] <^arky^_> Can anyone confirm bug 601350

[14:36] <somethinginteres> yes I can confirm it ^arky^
[14:37] <somethinginteres> do you want me to change it to "confirmed"?
[14:42] <^arky^_> somethinginteres: Can you reproduce it ?
[14:51] <^arky^_> mvo:  Can you comment on this bug 601350

[14:56] <somethinginteres> ^arky^ yes, the icon does not show for me
[14:56] <mvo> ^arky^_: sure. that is a little bit odd, I need to dig into the source to find out more
[15:18] <mvo> ^arky^_: fix will be part of the next app-install-data upload
[15:57] <^arky^_> mvo: thanks
[16:53] <Kangarooo1> if i have bug in kernel to what post bug? linux-image-version or linux-headers-version ?
[16:54] <dutchie> Kangarooo: you can do "ubuntu-bug linux" which has magic to report things right
[16:56] <Kangarooo> ah ok that reports to linux-image-version
[16:57] <micahg> Kangarooo: no, it doesn't, kernel bugs go against the linux package
[16:58] <Kangarooo> in LP its posted to linux package. when i looked in apport +more info then package was written linux-image-version thats also strange. apport tells one but does another
[16:59] <micahg> Kangarooo: one is binary and one is source (linux)
[16:59] <Kangarooo> ah ok
[17:00] <Kangarooo> ok posted bug
[17:03] <Kangarooo> micahg: so ur my mentor in bugsquad mentorship?
[17:03] <micahg> Kangarooo: am I?
[17:03] <micahg> Kangarooo: you don't seem to have one assigned
[17:04] <Kangarooo> yesterday DrKenobi was calling me and u and i asked is that about mentorship and he said yes. so i assume so
[17:05]  * micahg doesn't think drkenobi has anything to do w/membership
[17:05] <micahg> *mentorship
[17:06] <micahg> Kangarooo: he's looking for a mentor as well
[17:07] <Kangarooo> ah then i dont understand why he was also calling me and u in one line
[21:09] <BUGabundo> bugs in avidemux, are local or some kind of active upstream?
[21:47] <BUGabundo> YAY for replies
