mvodidrocks: not that well, but I want to spend my next vacation in the alpes, chamonix is not that far, right?08:19
didrocksmvo: something like 70 kms, not very far, no. A little bit higher and colder though :)08:21
didrocksmvo: when will you have your next vacation, btw?08:21
mvodidrocks: I will have a short one next week, but the alpes will have to wait until next year08:22

arapitti, hello10:25
jibelmvo, hello10:29
jibelmvo, I was trying to reproduce an update-manager issue for an lts to lts upgrade but can't because there is no record for lucid in http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts10:29
mvojibel: can you use update-manager --proposed?10:29
pittihey ara, how are you?10:30
arapitti, good thanks, yourself?10:30
pittiara: I'm great, thanks10:30
mvojibel: and thanks for your mail about dbus, I shall reply today (sorry that I haven't already :(10:30
arapitti, I have a question related to apport-symptoms10:31
arapitti, (I am writing a new one)10:31
jibelmvo, --proposed works because it downloads the -development meta-release10:31
arapitti, if a sympton leads to a package that it is not xorg, but it is useful to attach xorg information as well, is there a way to attach it?10:31
mvojibel: right, not yet, we will add it this week when 10.04.1 is officially released. do you need it in order to verify the upgrade issue?10:32
mvojibel: I mean, do you need it now?10:32
jibelmvo, ok, no I don't need it, I added the record by hand to the local meta-release file10:33
mvojibel: thanks! what issue is it? there is still (a bit) of time to fix package failures before the upgrade becomes enabled by default10:33
mvojibel: when that happens the users will see the upgrade button on hardy10:34
jibelmvo, that was an SRU uploaded few weeks ago. pitti uploaded it to -updates this morning, so everything is fine.10:35
mvojibel: great, thanks10:36
pittiara: hm, let me look10:37
pittiara: so, not directly; if you only need the noninteractive part, you could just copy the attach_hardware() and other bits10:39
pittiara: if you really want the full thing, you could import /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_xorg.py and call its add_info()10:39
arapitti, OK, thanks10:39
pittiara: i. e. either temporarily add that to sys.path and import, or use execfile()10:40
arapitti, I won't need everything, I'll just copy the necessary bits10:40

alf__Hi! for a package that build-depends on python 2.x >= 2.4, is "Build-Depends: python (>= 2.4), python (<< 3.0)" a reasonable way to to express this?14:15
pittithat would stop working once we switch the default pyhton to 3.x, but still support 2.x14:19
alf__pitti: so, what is the recommended way of expressing this dependency?14:26
pittialf__: I don't know; I'd start with python2.6 | python2.7 | python 2.5 | python2.4, but for now python (<< 3) should work as well14:26
alf__pitti: ok, thanks!14:28

=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
ScottKpitti and alf__: You don't need to specify python (<< 3.0).  Python3 is (and will remain) a separate runtime.  All python versions will remain less than 3.  Note there is a python3 package for those things that need/support it.15:25
smoserpitti, ping.15:39
pittismoser: pong15:39
smoserI'm following up on a ping earlier from free.  The landscape-client fix that they're wanting into -proposed/-updates reasonably blocks 10.04.1 UEC images from being respun.15:39
smoseri'm wondering if we could get that into -proposed early after release on thursday or friday ? so we could at least pick that and roll a images refresh sometime next week ? (ie, 19th ish)15:40
=== asac_ is now known as asac
pittismoser: sounds fine15:40
smoser(image builds only pull from -updates, not -proposed, and the client needs to be baked in to really suffice for them).15:40
pittiwe don't have a RM for 10.04.1 yet, though15:41
smoserRM as in Manager or Milestone15:41
pittimanager15:41
smoserok. so, free, you need to start begging pitti soon after release announcement is made on thursday.15:41
freesmoser: okay :)15:42
smoserthank you pitti15:42
freepitti: btw is lucid-proposed frozen as well? if we could get the packages into -proposed even before the release we could squeeze some days15:43
pittifree: yes, that's the main target of the freeze15:43

SpamapShrm, if I need to run a step in debian/rules as a non-root user, how should I do that? su? sudo?19:57
micahgI think the better question is why19:58
SpamapSI need to create a postgres database to run some tests with a postgres client library19:58
micahgwhy does that need to be non-root?19:58
micahgfrom the system perspective, not postgres19:59
SpamapSbecause postgres insists. :-P19:59
SpamapS/bin/sh debian/test_postgres.sh19:59
SpamapSinitdb: cannot be run as root19:59
SpamapSmicahg: I have no problems with these tests running as root, since the rest of the build does as well.. but postgres is being stubborn, so I need to give it a different uid.20:00
Laneypatch the tests?20:01
micahgok, I'm not familiar with postgres, so I can't help20:01
SpamapSLaney: I'd have to patch postgresql20:01
SpamapSkind of annoying.. there just seems to be no good way to reliably make sure something you're running does not have root privileges. :-/20:32
arunahello, quickly package puts my app/data directory under usr/share any ideas as how to resolve this please ?20:35
SpamapSaruna: thats where static shared data should go20:36
arunayes I know the thing is I have my data files under /data and need the SAME directory structure20:36
SpamapSaruna: if it is runtime-data (meaning generated after program start) it should be in /var/lib or /var/run, and if it is user-owned data, somewhere under $HOME20:36
SpamapSaruna: /data is an invalid directory under the filesystem hierarchy standard20:37
arunaok understood but how does one resolve an issue such as this ?20:38
SpamapSresolve what issue?20:38
arunaam trying to build a shoutcast front-end in quickly oki ? Works fine on my box but when the deb is installed file paths are out of sync20:39
SpamapSOk, the issue is that your program is making assumptions about the system filesystem that it should not.20:39
SpamapSwhat data is this?20:40
SpamapSsome kind of static table or something that the program downloads, or updates all the time?20:40
arunaam sorry am very new to linux and just getting familair with python and quickly please tell me how to do thinsg the correct way20:40
SpamapSright, think of it another way, you really need to figure out how to let the system do it the right way for you. ;)20:41
arunait's on my launchpad ppa - there is a python tutorial and the shoutcast. Both have the same prob20:41
SpamapSaruna: its probably data that should be going into the user's home dir. I'm not familiar with the conventions of quickly, but I'd bet it has a module for doing this already.20:42
SpamapSaruna: this being, putting data into a user's home directory20:42
SpamapSugh20:43
SpamapSsomebody should rename quickly20:43
SpamapSsuch a common adverb!20:43
arunano noo in the quickly tutorial it specifically tells you that when developing the code will be under /data and the deb will have usr/share and quickly IS a very useful tool makes life a lot simpler :-)20:44
arunasee all I need to understand is HOW to create a /data directory under usr/share through my code20:44
SpamapSWell I think I'll step back from this because I haven't done the quickly tutorial, nor do I have time to unfortunately. :-/20:46
arunathank you very much for trying to help though...20:46
ebroderaruna: This channel is more for development of Ubuntu than development of apps on Ubuntu. I don't know where it is, but I'd guess there's a better channel to get quickly help. (There isn't a #quickly, is there?)20:46
Laney#ubuntu-app-devel I think20:46
arunaummm... yes your right I was there just now but seems very silent20:47
ebroderaruna: That unfortunately doesn't really change that it's a better place to ask quickly questions20:47
