| xaver | slangasek: hello | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| xaver | somebody told me you work on mountall too. i have some trouble since 2.13 | 00:35 |
| weedar | could lots of "Ubuntu Archive Auto-Sync" changelog-entries in Launchpad mean that the package was without a maintainer? | 02:04 |
| nhandler | weedar: Do you mean without a Debian maintainer? | 02:36 |
| weedar | nhandler: Well, no, the package I'm thinking of is openbios-sparc and I noticed only auto-sync entries in the changelog - The maintainer according to launchpad is the same as the maintainer in Debian | 02:40 |
| nhandler | weedar: Yeah, most packages in Ubuntu don't have their own maintainer (like in Debian). | 02:40 |
| weedar | nhandler: I initally thought it meant that the package just came straight from Debian, without anyone checking to see if it worked. I also wondered about the link under "Uploaded by", here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openbios-sparc/1.0-1 | 02:43 |
| weedar | It is a link to https://launchpad.net/~katie which doesn't exist. That is why I thought katie was the old maintainer for Ubuntu and that after she deleted her account all the links turned into "auto-sync" | 02:44 |
| nhandler | weedar: Yeah, that is what the Auto-Sync means. The Debian version was automatically uploaded to Ubuntu without any changes. | 02:44 |
| nhandler | That is how most packages wind up in Ubuntu | 02:44 |
| ari-tczew | slangasek: I sent an e-mail to you for sponsoring request 2 merges - bug 609634 and bug 609620 | 02:48 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 609634 in fetchmail (Ubuntu) "Merge fetchmail 6.3.17-4 (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/609634 | 02:48 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 609620 in exim4 (Ubuntu) "Merge exim4 4.72-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/609620 | 02:48 |
| weedar | nhandler: In this case the package (openbios-sparc) provides bios rom blobs for sparc32 and sparc64, could I change it so the Ubuntu package only provided the sparc32 rom (since compiling for sparc64 seems impossible right now) or would I have to ask the Debian maintainer to change it in Debian? | 02:50 |
| weedar | Or is there yet an alternative; That I could provide a openbios-sparc32 package and propose it replace openbios-sparc in universe, since the existing openbios-sparc source package fails to build and there is no install candidate for openbios-sparc? | 02:51 |
| weedar | I'm sorry if my question(s) was/were poorly worded - I'm just trying to understand the "politics" behind Ubuntu packaging :-) | 02:55 |

| bilalakhtar | lifeless: are you a core-dev ? | 08:45 |
| lifeless | bilalakhtar: please let the queuing process do its job; I know its higher latency than we'd all like, but it does let people get in the flow of what they are doing. | 08:47 |
| bilalakhtar | lifeless: I have been waiting for weeks | 08:49 |
| bilalakhtar | lifeless: I completely understand you people are busy and there is a lack of sponsors | 08:50 |
| BlackZ | bilalakhtar: is it urgent? | 08:50 |
| bilalakhtar | BlackZ: not very much, but | 08:50 |
| bilalakhtar | During the wait, a developer will push a new version of a package, thus forcing me to update my patches | 08:51 |
| micahg | bilalakhtar: what's wrong with that? | 08:52 |
| bilalakhtar | micahg: nothing, just mentioning | 08:52 |
| bilalakhtar | sorry micahg | 08:53 |
| micahg | bilalakhtar: well, you would then propose another merge anyway, right? | 08:53 |
| bilalakhtar | micahg: yup | 08:53 |
| micahg | bilalakhtar: so, since the queue is long, you're saving sponsorship time by keeping the merge up to date :) | 08:54 |
| * bilalakhtar is doing exactly what he and micahg are discussing | 08:54 | |
| BlackZ | bilalakhtar: be patient, I think somebody will sponsor your upload but it can take weeks too. I can't look at it right now, sorry | 08:57 |
| bilalakhtar | BlackZ: ok, I came here as FF is approaching. Won't trouble you devs anymore | 08:59 |
| BlackZ | bilalakhtar: if the merge is requested before the FF it will not need an FFe | 08:59 |

| bilalakhtar | BlackZ: really? O_o Thanks for the info. I will be more patient from now onwards | 09:00 |

| ion | mattj: The only wrong thing is the original decision on a filename like that that can’t be changed later. :-P But filenames are just for humans. As far as computers are concerned, everything could be just an anonymous inode. | 22:39 |
| MattJ | Yes, maybe... though eog refuses to open it | 22:40 |
| MattJ | otherwise I wouldn't have noticed | 22:41 |
| ion | Then there is a bug in eog. No software should base its decision of file type solely on the filename. | 22:41 |
