| cjwatson | ccheney: I think you need to read the preseeding guide in more detail. you need to preseed early questions on the kernel command line. don't use debconf-get-selections for this, or look at questions.dat - it will only be confusing. | 00:40 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | (so e.g. console-setup/layoutcode=us on the command line) | 00:41 |
| cjwatson | and don't preseed console-setup/layout or console-setup/variant at all; I don't think the guide advises that? | 00:43 |

| apachelogger | pitti: good morning :) is it save to assume that pot files only get imported from i386 builds? | 08:33 |
| pitti | apachelogger: pkgbinarymangler imports them from all architectures | 08:34 |
| pitti | but I'm not really sure how that works in Rosetta | 08:35 |
| pitti | dpm: ^ | 08:35 |
| apachelogger | The thing is, since we are creating pot files at build time it adds quite some load, which we really should avoid on armel and the likes. | 08:38 |
| dpm | hey pitti, good morning, let me have a look | 08:43 |
| pitti | apachelogger: my guess is that it's enough to build it on one arch only | 08:45 |
| apachelogger | must be, because kde-l10n-* is arch: all :) | 08:45 |
| pitti | the interesting question is what would happen if different arches produce different pots | 08:45 |
| apachelogger | *nod* | 08:46 |
| pitti | whether rosetta will merge them, or randomly select one | 08:46 |
| geser | pitti: Thanks for the gnupg2 SRU upload. I somehow got the impression that I need an SRU ack first before seeking for sponsorship. | 08:47 |
| dpm | I can only confirm what pitti is saying: pkgbinarymangler uploads a tarball for each arch - I'm not sure what Launchpad does with them. Let me ask the Launchpad guys | 08:48 |
| pitti | geser: both approaches were in use until now; jdong just proposed the "always upload directly" approach or everyone now (which will help to speed up things) | 08:48 |
| dpm | the LP guys are on a sprint, I'll try to reach them later on | 08:49 |
| TimStarling | what happens if you have a package in two different distro versions, and the source hasn't been updated so the package has the same version, but you need to recompile it? | 09:14 |
| TimStarling | do you just bump the revision number? | 09:15 |
| joaopinto | TimStarling, assuming it's an universe package, #ubuntu-motu is a better channel for that question | 09:15 |
| TimStarling | it's not, but I might try there anyway | 09:16 |
| joaopinto | mvo, hi, is there a good reason for the APT's mirror: method to have the 6h Acquire::Mirror::RefreshInterval by default ? None of the other methods has such refresh, and it defeats the usual "sudo apt-get update" purpose | 09:17 |
| TimStarling | it's for our own APT repository that holds our in-house software, but I'm happy to adopt conventions from anyone who has thought about the issue | 09:17 |
| mvo | joaopinto: no, no good reason, initially it was meant to be a protection for the server, but that is silly | 09:20 |
| cjwatson | RAOF: I'd been putting it off because it's painful, but I guess I should queue it up for next. Working on syslinux/gfxboot at the moment which is interesting in its own right | 09:21 |
| mvo | joaopinto: fixing that in trunk to make it 1min only | 09:23 |
| RAOF | cjwatson: That's cool. gfxboot certainly sounds more fun! | 09:24 |
| wrinkliez | hey guys, im making my changelog for my application now. what if it doesnt matter what distribution my program is for? do i put "all" in the changelog? | 09:25 |
| joaopinto | mvo, great, on getdeb we are evaluating to switch from http redirects to the mirror method, for the current release we will need to distribute a apt .conf to set the refresh to 0 | 09:28 |
| mvo | yeah, in maverick that is oing to get fixed | 09:29 |
| joaopinto | for a web interface with frequent updates is crucial to have the cache refreshed from an updated mirror | 09:29 |
| === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan | ||
| joaopinto | so the mirror list will built from scanning a pool of mirrors | 09:29 |
| joaopinto | be | 09:29 |
| joaopinto | mvo, is there some documentation about the 'Packages' diffs support ? I think I have seen it on some archive, apt already supports them right ? | 09:34 |
| === qense is now known as seh | ||
| mvo | joaopinto: apt supports them, they are called "pdiffs" and you can get examples for this on the debian archive | 09:35 |
| mvo | joaopinto: but they are only useful if there is not too much churn in the packages files, as they are "sequential" (basicly just patches) and if your packages file is generated 10 times a day the user needs to download 10 patches | 09:36 |
| mvo | joaopinto: that may well be not efficient anymore | 09:36 |
| mvo | joaopinto: for stuff that is big and changes slowly they are great | 09:36 |
| joaopinto | right, not very useful for volatile repositories | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | RAOF: ... maybe | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | RAOF: current state is that kvm falls over with an internal error trying to run it, so I'm sitting here tracing through assembly code ... depends what you call fun | 09:48 |

| pitti | Keybuk: unrelated question, is anything wrong with the udev in bzr head? robert_ancell was asking about it, since the new bluez needs it | 15:25 |
| pitti | (well, at this point we should update to 160, but I wasn't sure whether you held it back intentionally) | 15:25 |

| SpamapS | hmm, so why isn't rrdtool listed here: https://merges.ubuntu.com/main.html if it is grossly out of sync w/ debian and has been since 2010-01-22? | 23:10 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: bug in merge-o-matic, triggers when some Debian architectures are out of sync | 23:17 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: Debian's archive software changed a while back to keep all the versions in Sources that correspond to any architecture, and hurd-i386 is way out of date (as usual) | 23:18 |
| cjwatson | SpamapS: I have half a patch for MoM to fix this but haven't had time to test it | 23:18 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson: Ahh, so is the fix to request a sync? | 23:19 |
| SpamapS | I mean, workaround | 23:19 |
| SpamapS | The dbi capabilities of the latest version are particularly appealing for some stuff I've been playing with. :) | 23:19 |

| cjwatson | there's a single change in Ubuntu; look at it and check whether it's still appropriate | 23:23 |
| cjwatson | if it is, prepare a merge (not hard to do by hand - fetch the base version from ftp.debian.org or snapshot.debian.org or whatever, diff Debian->Ubuntu, apply diff to new Ubuntu package, resolve conflicts, create new changelog entry at the top) | 23:23 |
| cjwatson | otherwise, request a sync | 23:23 |
