bdrungari-tczew: main is frozen00:01
dupondjewhen is universe frozen ?00:01
tumbleweeddupondje: feature freeze00:01
Laneysome time after final freeze00:01
tumbleweedbleh00:02
Laneydepending on what you mean by frozen00:02
ari-tczewfrozen? wtf?00:02
dupondjenot accepting new merges/syncs :)00:02
ajmitchari-tczew: just for alpha 300:02
ari-tczewajmitch: it will be unfrozen?00:02
ajmitchyes00:02
LaneyThe method of the upload doesn't matter, just the content of the changes therein00:02
dupondjefreezes are boring :) we want to live on the edge !00:03
tumbleweeddupondje: if they are important, they are accepted after feature freeze00:03
dupondjehmz ok :)00:03
ari-tczeweven fix ftbfs won't be uploaded?00:03
tumbleweedwell, not important so much as "probably safe"00:03
Laneytumbleweed: you are looking for "bug fixes"00:04
bdrungari-tczew: in two days after the alpha 3 release00:04
tumbleweedLaney: thanks :)00:04
ajmitchari-tczew: alpha freezes just last 2-3 days, and generally uploads of things that fix problems on the CDs can be uploaded00:04
ajmitchit's just a chance for the archive to settle down a bit so that an alpha can be released in an installable state00:04
LaneyFreezes aren't boring, they are nice. Unfrozen things break.00:04
LaneySay hello to dpkg and autoconf recently00:05
ajmitchit's not like you actually wanted anything in your binary packages anyway00:05
Laneyvacuous bug-freeness?00:05
LaneyI like the idea00:05
ajmitchwe were discussing this in #ubuntu-nz yesterday00:06
ajmitch10:46 < thumper> snail: there are no bugs in no code00:06
ajmitch10:46 < snail> there are an infinite number of bugs in no code00:06
ajmitchwhich is true, I do not know :)00:06
ajmitchthough the code in question was LP, which changes things somewhat00:07
bdrungfirst it's always possible to strip one line of source code and second your program contains at least one bug.00:07
bdrungtherefore you can reduce your program to one faulty line. :D00:08
Laneythe second one is breaking my brain00:09
LaneyI don't think it's right00:09
bdrungan other maxim: software is either buggy or outdated.00:09
bdrungLaney: you have to apply induction00:09
Laneynot yours00:10
Laneythat's just plain wrong :P00:10
dupondjebdrung: beta2 of audacious came out 2 days ago. Will you package it ? :)00:11
bdrungdupondje: i will put it on my todo list. it will be processed after vlc.00:11

micahghighvoltage: you sitll around?01:47
highvoltagemicahg: yep01:49
micahghighvoltage: saw your post on u-d@l.u.c about an official PPA finder, wanted to say the Mozilla team has been kicking around the idea for a tool like that for a while now, if someone ever writes one, I can let you know01:50
micahghighvoltage: I actually discussed it at one of the UDS sessions, but the focus seems to be more on the blessed new apss for stable release01:51
highvoltagemicahg: great! yeah some people aren't so crazy about the idea but I thinkit could have some value to many people01:53
bdrungDktrKranz: ready for uploading u-t-d 0.101 to unstable?01:58
RAOFA simple thing like having a PPA associated with a project would cover a lot of that, I think.01:59
micahgRAOF: well, the problem at least for the Mozilla team is switching back and forth between stable/beta/daily/archive on demand02:00
highvoltageRAOF: *nod* and it does02:02
RAOFmicahg: Well, a trivial generalisation of my idea would be to display all the PPAs of the user/team which owns the project.02:03
micahgRAOF: ah, that might work, we're grouping all our PPAs under the mozillateam team and kubuntu-ppa has all theirs groups02:04

CarlosRodHello17:09
vishcould someone upload bug 550261 to -proposed?  the bug was on SRU queue for nearly 2 months  without an upload to -proposed17:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 550261 in sbackup (Ubuntu) "Backups cannot be started through the GUI" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/55026117:10
CarlosRodI need some help packing an aplicattion and making a makefile17:10
CarlosRodCan you help me in this room? I'm in the correct place?17:10
CarlosRodCan you please tell me the correct room to get some help for my questions? :)17:12
micahgCarlosRod: try #ubuntu-packaging17:13
tumbleweedvish: is ubuntu-sponsors subscribed?17:13
vishtumbleweed: just subscribed now , apparently the nssbackup team didnt know the procedure17:13
CarlosRodThanks you micahg17:13
vishtumbleweed: they only subscribed the SRU team ..17:14
tumbleweedvish: I'll look at it later (if nobody else has yet)17:14
vishtumbleweed: neat , thanks :)17:14
CarlosRodjust one question, if I install a program, where is the binary of the program installed? at /usr/bin/?? where is the data used by the program?? For example if the program needs images, logs or something17:25
dutchieCarlosRod: the binary goes in /usr/bin, the data normally ends up in /usr/share17:26
dutchieCarlosRod: you can see what files a package installs by issuing the command "dpkg -L <package>"17:26
CarlosRodThanks you and one more question...17:26
tumbleweedCarlosRod: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard17:27
CarlosRodIf I put my binary on bin and the data on share, when programing the source, Should I call these data files with the /data/share/ at the beginning?17:27
CarlosRodOr the system asumes that?17:27
CarlosRodThe problem is that Im making code source for both windows and linux... And I dont want to change the path of the data used by the program17:28
CarlosRodthanks you tumbleweed, I will take a look :)17:28
tumbleweedCarlosRod: make the path configurable at compile-time17:28
tumbleweedlook for the gnu coding standards, if you want to see what teh conventions are17:28
CarlosRodOk, thanks you :)17:29
tumbleweedbtw, you'll never have /data/ on a standard system17:29
CarlosRodAnd, then, how I should include images and more?17:29
tumbleweedCarlosRod: btw, this is off-topic for this channel. images are data (most of the time) so /usr/share/<packagename> (or /usr/local/share/<packagename> if installed from source)17:30
CarlosRodOk, thanks you :)17:31
CarlosRodI will try your suggestions :)17:32

ari-tczewtumbleweed: I build it with pbuilder19:01

ari-tczewtumbleweed: I remember some situations when change *site to *dist-packages fixes ftbfs19:06
tumbleweedari-tczew: yes, but that was *-packages19:06
tumbleweedpython 2.6 uses dist-packages, < 2.6 uses site-packages19:06
ari-tczewtumbleweed: so I can't reproduce it and can't fix it.19:07

ari-tczewtumbleweed: maybe should I change to /*dist-packages?19:08

geserno, unless the components get fixed20:49
geserari-tczew: opendrim-lpm-dns needs to get moved to multiverse (like the other opendrim-* packages)20:49
geserand I see that the opendrim-lpm-* binary packages are also in the wrong component: they are in universe while their source is in multiverse20:50
