lfaraoneIf a fix to a pacakge only requires a no-change re-build, does it need to be "fixed" in the developement release first? (in the development release, the package FTBFS for a different reason)02:27
micahglfaraone: I would think02:29
micahgoops02:29
* micahg wasn't going to write that02:29

micahglfaraone: I was going to say that I don't think so, then I remembered, that I don't know the "official" answer02:37
RAOFIt should not be a problem.  The “fixed in development release” criterion is to ensure that we don't accidentally regress.02:38

siretartmicahg: is there a particular problem?15:23
micahgsiretart: it seems dead, so since it's a xul rdepend I was considering dropping it15:23

Laneyshouldn't make a difference21:32
shadeslayerLaney: as in? do i package the new version?21:32
Laneyif you assess that we want it in ubuntu sure21:33
Laneypresumably they took a snapshot for a good reason21:33
shadeslayerprobably :)21:35
shadeslayerLaney: our package was copied over from intrepid21:35
shadeslayerso i guess its time for a update :D21:35
shadeslayerLaney: so .. i take the same original tarball , extract it and move the debian folder over right?21:36
shadeslayerand then merge21:36
Laneysame as any other merge21:37
Laneydunno what you mean about moving the debian folder21:37
shadeslayerLaney: hmm.. since the source has changed,ill need to use the new sources...21:37
shadeslayerthe ones from debian21:38
Laneylook at the changes ubuntu made previously and decide if you still need to make them again21:40
shadeslayerok..21:40
micahgshadeslayer: you can use grab-merge21:41
shadeslayermicahg: which is totally eww...21:41
* shadeslayer doesnt like grab-merge21:41
shadeslayeror rather.. idk how to use it properly :P21:42
micahgshadeslayer: why, it does most of the work for you, just need to check the files that conflict and list what was kept from the Ubuntu changes21:42
shadeslayermicahg: too many files and stuff... in this case there is a new upstream snapshot21:42
* tumbleweed finds the best way to use grab-merge is to get the relevent source paackages. After that, I delete its merge attempt and merge myself21:42
micahgshadeslayer: it applies the Ubuntu diff to the new Debian build21:42
micahgs/build/source21:43
shadeslayermicahg: hmm.. i might give it a try.. but im sure ill be banging my head over this later :P21:43

shadeslayermicahg: what i usually do is pull-lp-source,pull-debian-source and look at MoM report21:46
shadeslayerand take it from there21:46
micahgshadeslayer: grab-merge does that for you21:46
shadeslayertumbleweed: This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates.21:46

ScottKCheck and see I remember the right one.23:04
ScottKThere's a warning in the build log.23:05
shadeslayerScottK: dh_desktop is deprecated23:05
ScottKI'd look back in the changelog and see why we added them.  My guess is they aren't relevant anymore, but I didn't actually look at the package.23:05
shadeslayerScottK: dh_icons isnt i think23:05
ScottKOK.  Then that one we may want to keep.23:06
shadeslayerScottK: we added dh_icons to install the icons23:06
shadeslayerthat was a ubuntu specific change23:06
ScottKThere was some resistance to that in Debian.23:06
