ScottLif a package is available in lucid-proposed for a SRU, how many tests are necessary to considered a SRU verified?01:26
micahgScottL: 1 or 201:27
ScottLmicahg, thanks, then i guess i can change the tag from "verification-required" to "verification-done" :)01:27
micahgScottL: I think the SRU team does that01:27
ScottLmicahg, what triggers them to change it?  do i need a special keyword in my reply to the bug? or another tag?01:28
micahgScottL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification01:31
micahgScottL: not really sure, it says SRU verification team tests, but I've tested and had ubuntu-sru update the tag01:32
ScottLmicahg, groovy, thanks!01:33

hggdhactually, if you test a SRU and confirm it to be working, you can change the tag to verification-done; if the test failed, then mark it verification-failed04:00

* Laney is amused that aptitude would rather remove half his desktop than not upgrade gtk+11:23
sebnerLaney: that's why clever people use apt-get :P11:26
Laneyclever people read the output11:26
Laneythird solution was what i wanted11:28
sebnerLaney: you upgrading to maverick?11:28
Laneylong ago11:28

ubottuymmv is short for "Your mileage may vary". It means that someone else's experience with compatibility, performance etc. may not necessarily match yours. Also see !wfm11:29
tumbleweedmaverick has been good to me (although the intel driver seems to drink at least half my ram)11:29
sebnertime to upgrade then :P11:30

dholbachBlackZ: can you explain how the pyclutter sync worked?11:35
DavieyAnybody fancy sponsoring a sync for a fake-new package?11:35
BlackZdholbach: FTBFS for you?11:35
dholbachBlackZ: no, but I'm interested which way you worked on it11:36
BlackZdholbach: I used the ack-sync script to upload it11:36
LaneyDaviey: if by "sponsor" you mean "ack" then "yes"11:36
dholbachBlackZ: to upload it?11:36
dholbachcan I see the script?11:36

BlackZyes Laney11:37
dholbachnevermind, I see it now11:37

Davieyas the original binary was rm'd from the archive11:40
Laneyplease ensure the rdeps are updated to use whatever is appropriate11:40

Sarvattdepends on your card sebner11:47
Sarvattif its using nouveau_dri.so instead of nouveau-vieux_dri.so it's in maverick, but you have to install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental yourself11:48

tumbleweedbdrung: can we not put ack-sync-email.list somewhere out of the way? (i.e. in ~/.ubuntu-dev-tools)13:08
bdrungtumbleweed: feel free to find a nice place and name for it13:08
tumbleweedalso, how about getting ack-sync to use @ubuntu.com addresses for members?13:08
tumbleweedthat might require a few less manual overrides13:08
bdrungtumbleweed: good idea, please go ahead13:08
tumbleweed:)13:08
bdrungtumbleweed: i am going to work on a script that works similarly on merges and all the rest of it13:09
tumbleweedcool, that would be useful13:11

bdrungtumbleweed: scroll down13:26
tumbleweedoh I see13:27
tumbleweedI doubt I'd use those statistics much, but they are a good overview13:28

bdrunggeser: yes13:49
bdrunggeser: or greater (if SRUs target different components)13:49
geser141 + 54 + 2 = 197 != 19913:50

sebnergeser: I had to fix the dependency hell 2 times but maverick runs now without problems :D13:53
gesersebner: of course you filed bugs, right?13:55
tumbleweedbdrung: things I really want from the sponsor overview: clearer differentiation between main and universe (a fair chunk of sponsors are not core devs), sort by most recent activity (so we can sponsor fairly)13:55
sebnergeser: ohh, and I was just wondering why apport didn't show up :\13:56
bdrungtumbleweed: that'll be an easy task13:56
tumbleweedI originally thought I wanted sort by date sponsors were subscribed, but most recent activity is probably the easiest solution to that13:57
geserbdrung: would it be possible to have a table for each kind of origin? (even if that means that some bugs are listed several times)13:57
geserso one could jump directly to the list/table of bugs one is interested in13:58

micahgdholbach: I didn't know reasons were needed for syncs before FF14:23
vinc-maiI do not know if it is a good time for a review but I have uploaded a package on revu, my first. Can someone take a look at it ? It is a ruby librairy design to help developpers to define global hotkeys. http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/libglobalhotkeys-ruby1.814:24
dholbachmicahg: still it makes it a bit easier if you know what's going on14:24
vinc-maiComments will help me.14:24
dholbachmicahg: if it involved a major transition or if it's an unstable branch, we probably shouldn't sync14:24
dholbachmicahg: but if it's "a bug fix release" it certainly makes sense to get it in14:25
dholbachit's just that when I looked at the request I felt like I had no idea what's going on :)14:26

ximion_hi there :)17:38
ximionI am the Debian maintainer of the package projectm, which is currently in Debian experimental.17:40
ximionthe package is in the sync queue of Ubuntu Maverick at time.17:40
ximionwe put the package into experimental cause it had some serious bugs like some applications were crashing on startup etc.17:41
ximionwe also didn't know how all dependencies of projectm behave and hadn't finished all transitions yet when the package was uploaded to experimental.17:41
ximionthis is all fixed now, but it might take a long time until a new package is uploaded to unstable.17:42
ximionso, could someone please upload a new "ubuntu-version" of the package?17:43
ximionI uploaded the new version at revu: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/projectm17:43
Laneycan't you upload the new version to experimental?17:43
ximionthis package also solves a package conflict (which happens with the old package from Debian)17:44
ximionLaney: No, I need a mentor to do this :-P17:44
Laneyyour previous sponsor?17:44
ximionyes17:44
Laneysounds like the way to go to me17:45
ximionAnd he is currently at debconf, so he might upload this package soon, but he might not.17:45
Laneythen sync from there into maverick17:45
ximionLaney: Of course, but I don't really know when the package gets published in the official Maverick repositories.17:46
ximionIf it is published, some uses will get problems while upgrading their very old projectm version due to a conflict between projectm-data and libprojectm-data17:46
Laneyhas it been uploaded?17:47
Laneyyou can just cancel the request17:47
Laney(if it hasn't been uploaded, that is)17:48
ximionit is in upload queue, no sync request has been made...17:48
ximionI tried to reach the developer who uploaded it yesterday, but did not received a reply yet.17:49
Laneyah, this is easy17:49
LaneyScottK: Could you please reject projectm? context: ^^^17:49
ximionI'm not sure how fast the uploads get reviewed in ubuntu.17:49

Laneyso if your new one doesn't get sponsored to Debian within, say, a week then ping me again and I will upload for you17:50
