| pitti | Good morning | 05:28 |
| ajmitch | morning pitti | 05:28 |
| ion | hi | 05:28 |
| RAOF | 'Tis a pitti. Hello! | 05:32 |
| pitti | hey RAOF, how are you? | 05:33 |
| pitti | is it just me, or is resuming very crashy in maverick these days? | 05:33 |
| RAOF | Depending on what you mean by “very”, I think it might be just you. | 05:33 |
| pitti | I either get kernel freezes or X crashes | 05:34 |
| RAOF | I mean, resuming for me has failed once or twice over the last month, which is I think _slightly_ more frequently than in Lucid. | 05:34 |
| RAOF | But it's difficult to tell at that frequency. | 05:34 |
| pitti | ok, then I'll have a closer look next time | 05:34 |
| pitti | slangasek: the upstart SRU has had lots of verification, and I haven't heard about regressions, so for the sake of 10.04.1 I'm fine with releasing it early | 05:51 |
| slangasek | pitti: right; there seem to be a number of other SRUs that also need processing if we're to use the current ISOs for .1, I'm working on verifying the samba fix now | 05:52 |
| pitti | slangasek: d-i is fine, I asked cjwatson to copy this (since it needs some manual fiddling) | 05:56 |
| pitti | so that leaves scim, xorg-server, and casper AFAICS? | 05:57 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| pitti | slangasek: I'll test casper | 05:57 |
| slangasek | pitti: ibus-anthy, libvirt? | 05:57 |
| pitti | oh, we carry libvirt, too? ok | 05:58 |
| slangasek | I don't know for sure; it's in main | 05:58 |
| slangasek | far too much manual effort to check these things | 05:58 |
| slangasek | yes, libvirt is on the server CD | 05:58 |
| slangasek | erm, so is sane-backends, which is verification-failed? | 05:59 |
| slangasek | not on the server CD, it's on alternate | 06:00 |
| slangasek | and on desktop :( | 06:00 |
| pitti | slangasek: right, we can't move sane, I'm afraid | 06:00 |
| slangasek | which means we need to punt it and respin | 06:00 |
| pitti | slangasek: we could remove it from -proposed and rebuild test CDs? | 06:01 |
| slangasek | yes | 06:01 |
| * pitti removes | 06:01 | |
| pitti | good time, 2 mins before publisher | 06:01 |
| slangasek | pitti: hmm, sane-backends still in -proposed, an hour later | 07:12 |
| pitti | slangasek: trying again, checking LP this time | 07:13 |
| slangasek | pitti: saw your follow-up to 591207; what do you think we should do with casper? | 07:13 |
| pitti | https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+changelog | 07:13 |
| pitti | slangasek: ^ this claims that it was removed already, hmm | 07:14 |
| pitti | slangasek: ibus-anthy verified (moving to -updates now), casper causes some trouble | 07:14 |
| pitti | slangasek: not sure why my dist-upgrade failed, but it gets a little further with the -proposed version | 07:14 |
| * pitti checks hte USB stick whether initramfs was updated/untouched/destroyed | 07:15 | |
| pitti | -rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 9837789 2010-08-16 07:47 initrd.lz | 07:16 |
| pitti | -rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 413696 2010-08-16 06:03 initrd.lz.new | 07:16 |
| pitti | hmm | 07:16 |
| pitti | slangasek: followed up | 07:17 |
| slangasek | ok | 07:17 |
| pitti | slangasek: so the net result of all this is that it's now writing an additional broken file to the USB stick :/ | 07:17 |
| pitti | slangasek: my gut feeling is that we should pull it from -proposed, since we have to respin anyway; this would avoid the new broken file | 07:18 |
| pitti | slangasek: what do you think? | 07:19 |
| pitti | slangasek: hm, I also removed ifupdown from -proposed (standard cleanup), and it's still published | 07:22 |
| * pitti wonders whether there's something wrong with removals in general | 07:22 | |
| slangasek | pitti: the casper bug seems like a rather bad one to not have included in .1, but it wasn't milestoned, so yeah, I guess we should pull it | 07:42 |
| slangasek | pitti: can I leave it to you to figure out why -proposed removals aren't working, and respin the world once you have that figured out? I'll mark the images appropriately in the tracker | 07:42 |
| pitti | slangasek: yes, that's fine (so that you can go to bed now :) ) | 07:43 |
| slangasek | either way, I need to get some sleep, yeah; so if you can't get to it today, I'll look at it myself in the morning | 07:43 |
| pitti | slangasek: if it still doesn't get removed in 20 mins, I'll prod soyuz guys | 07:43 |
| slangasek | ack, thanks | 07:43 |
| pitti | slangasek: ah, got removed now | 08:06 |

| lanoxx | i have merged a bzr branch into my local working copy, how can i go back to the master branch? | 08:41 |
| lanoxx | how can i switch branches in bzr? | 08:41 |
| === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan | ||
| pitti | lanoxx: check it out separately, or overwrite your local copy with bzr pull lp:<mastername> --overwrite | 08:42 |
| lanoxx | pitti, if i overwrite it, then i need to check out the other branch again right? | 08:44 |
| pitti | lanoxx: if you need both branches, it's generally easier to just keep them checked out separately | 08:44 |
| lanoxx | pitti, how do i check them out seperately | 08:46 |
| lanoxx | pitti, sorry i have not much experience with bzr, im use to git | 08:46 |
| RAOF | lanoxx: You *can* use “bzr switch” in pretty much the same way as “git checkout”, but it's probably not what you want to do. | 08:47 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: you around? | 08:49 |
| lanoxx | RAOF, can i check out the master branch again and then switch between my current branch and the master branch? | 08:49 |
| RAOF | lanoxx: The way I generally deal with it is to have one directory per branch. So, you have your current tree, which is a branch of trunk with another branch merged in. If you wanted to keep that branch, and also get a checkout of the master branch, you'd go up a directory and run “bzr branch lp:whatever” | 08:49 |
| lanoxx | RAOF, ah ok. i will do that | 08:49 |
| RAOF | lanoxx: You can, with a little set up, make it so that you switch between branches in the same directory. It's probably much less effort to just have one directory per branch :) | 08:50 |
| RAOF | If you're going to do that, then “bzr init-repo .” in the directory containing your branches is a good performance optimisation to do. | 08:50 |
| lifeless | --no-trees too | 08:50 |
| RAOF | lifeless: I wasn't thinking of the bzr switch dance there :) | 08:51 |
| lanoxx | does bzr have an option like format-patch? | 08:51 |
| lanoxx | or should i just use bzr diff? | 08:51 |
| RAOF | “bzr bundle” does a similar thing to format-patch. | 08:52 |
| RAOF | Man. “buffers” is one of those words that just get more and more weird the longer you stare at them. | 08:52 |
| lifeless | RAOF: bzr send please, not bundle | 08:53 |
| RAOF | lifeless: Ah, sorry. -EHAZY. bzr send attaches a bundle, right? | 08:54 |
| lifeless | yeah | 08:56 |
| ogra | pitti, vala seems to have landed in universe (breaking a rebuild of libindicate on armel) | 08:57 |

| seb128 | why do people want every crack in the universe to go in Ubuntu | 10:10 |
| seb128 | shrug | 10:10 |
| seb128 | I will no reply on the list, seems there is already lot of noise in that discussion | 10:11 |
| Laney | it is called universe ;-) | 10:11 |
| pitti | TBH it's what we wanted to in warty, but I agree that we need to stop doing this | 10:11 |
| seb128 | well, that's one of the complain we get atm | 10:11 |
| pitti | Laney: so it's a matter of definition, I guess | 10:11 |
| pitti | universe == all stuff you can find, or universe == some sanity/maintenance involved | 10:11 |
| seb128 | quality is not egual and people misjudge ubuntu on some of the broken things they find | 10:11 |
| seb128 | we should lower the number of sources in the official archive and improve quality | 10:12 |
| Laney | making this stuff more visible in s-c isn't going to cause people to think it's not part of Ubuntu though | 10:12 |
| seb128 | we should not aim at pushing every crack application nobody will keep working on 6 months later in universe | 10:12 |
| seb128 | well it's easy to message that this entry is not ubuntu | 10:12 |
| seb128 | and why people keep arguing to use backports | 10:12 |
| seb128 | that just doesn't work | 10:12 |
| pitti | Laney: we certainly get some responsibility, but it's a matter of presentation IMHO | 10:12 |
| pitti | people don't blame Apple or Google for every broken Android/iPhone app either | 10:13 |
| seb128 | backport require the source to be the same in the new distro | 10:13 |
| seb128 | ie you can't enable build using new gdbus or whatever | 10:13 |
| pitti | well, maybe they do, but at this point we can't help it any more | 10:13 |
| seb128 | or you need to start tweaking your packaging to have different builds in backports | 10:13 |
| seb128 | that makes no sense | 10:13 |
| Laney | anyway I think that maintaining stuff in universe is something we are terrible at too | 10:14 |
| seb128 | right | 10:14 |
| Laney | not arguing for that | 10:14 |
| seb128 | I think we should clean universe | 10:14 |
| pitti | well, terrible -> it's a manpower issue | 10:14 |
| pitti | it's a helluva job | 10:14 |
| Laney | sure, of course | 10:14 |
| seb128 | we are just lying when we pretend to be able to maintain that amonth of softwares | 10:14 |
| seb128 | we should aim for better quality | 10:14 |
| Laney | luckily we don't have to actively maintain most of it | 10:15 |
| seb128 | I'm not sure why people want to turn universe to get as many crack non maintain as we can | 10:15 |
| seb128 | still there is lot unmaintained in debian as well | 10:15 |
| seb128 | or upstream | 10:15 |
| Laney | I think there's a lot of scope for us to improve the automated QA | 10:15 |
| Laney | people seem to work well when there's lists | 10:15 |
| seb128 | we should perhaps be agressive in clean things which rot | 10:16 |
| seb128 | or are buggy | 10:16 |
| Laney | yes | 10:16 |
| Laney | the binary removal thing which happened in Lucid was a good idea IMHO | 10:16 |
| Laney | "fix this stuff or it won't be in the release" | 10:16 |
| seb128 | well why fighting the noise | 10:17 |
| seb128 | we could probably make a list of issues on all those packages nobody use | 10:17 |
| seb128 | but wouldn't we spend efforts in a better way trying to improve what users actually run | 10:17 |
| Laney | apart from the 5 or 6 people that it's absolutely essential for | 10:17 |
| seb128 | rather than fixing un-used packages to be compliant with new policy or whatever | 10:17 |
| seb128 | or build softwares that didn't change for 3 years to build with a gtk update | 10:18 |

| Riddell | pitti: are you the force behind the mysterious appearance of lucid .1 images? | 11:17 |
| pitti | Riddell: yes; we need to respin due to some failed SRUs | 11:17 |
| pitti | see discussion with slangasek here this morning | 11:17 |
| cjwatson | pitti: yep, much less frazzled now :) | 11:22 |
| cjwatson | pitti: FWIW am respinning lucid server now - it broke on a locking issue I hadn't previously thought of, now fixed in bzr | 11:23 |
| diwic | directhex, hmm, interesting point, I should probably add lucid-updates and lucid-security to my pbuilder... | 11:23 |
| pitti | cjwatson: ah, thanks | 11:23 |
| cjwatson | very rare locking issue though - it only happened if two parallel builds completed at almost exactly the same time | 11:23 |
| pitti | I'm respinning kubuntu desktop lucid, then the set should be complete again | 11:24 |
| cjwatson | (so I haven't bothered rolling out the fix yet) | 11:24 |
| pitti | cjwatson: marked server for rebuild in the tracker | 11:25 |
| === amitk-afk is now known as amitk | ||
| cjwatson | pitti: my respin was only based on the assumption that it was already rebuilding, and that somebody wanted the previous build this morning to succeed :) | 11:34 |
| pitti | cjwatson: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/lucid/daily/20100816.2/ looks like your respin? | 11:35 |
| pitti | it has the reverted sane-backends, so it's good | 11:35 |
| pitti | and reverted casper, too | 11:36 |
| baptistemm | hi there | 11:36 |
| cjwatson | pitti: yes | 11:36 |
| pitti | cjwatson: added to tracker; I'll add kubuntu desktop once they finish, then "the world" is rebuilt | 11:37 |

| pitti | doing | 11:38 |
| geser | thanks | 11:38 |
| baptistemm | heh, seb128 updated bluez for maverick previous week | 11:40 |
| baptistemm | why didn't he merged from debian ? | 11:40 |
| diwic | directhex, do you know how to add lucid-updates and lucid-security to the lucid chroot? | 11:48 |
| directhex | set a pipe-delimited value for OTHERMIRROR in ~/.pbuilderrc, and run "pbuilder update --override-config" | 11:49 |
| diwic | directhex, OTHERMIRROR="lucid|lucid-updates|lucid-security"? I mean, that's not exactly a mirror | 11:51 |
| pitti | slangasek, cjwatson: all lucid CDs rebuilt and added to tracker; they picked up the failed SRU rollbacks | 11:51 |
| directhex | diwic, no, that's not a mirror | 11:51 |
| diwic | directhex, I'll read the manpage | 11:51 |
| diwic | directhex, and come back if I still have a question :-) | 11:52 |
| directhex | diwic, OTHERMIRROR="deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse|deb http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse" is more mirror-flavoured | 11:52 |
| diwic | directhex, hey it seems to be working and you saved my day :-) | 11:55 |
| directhex | diwic, the --override-config flag is needed for any changes to your mirror variables to actually be set | 11:55 |
| diwic | directhex, I wrote it as OTHERMIRROR="deb $MIRRORSITE $DIST-security $COMPONENTS" though, out of lazyness :-) | 11:55 |
| directhex | diwic, i could not guarantee that you had those vars defined | 11:56 |
| diwic | directhex, anyway thanks for the help :-) | 11:56 |

| seb128 | asac, what do you call variants? | 15:59 |
| asac | seb128: efl vs unity vs plain gnome | 15:59 |
| asac | seb128: look at their desktop files. they all use "gnome-sessioN", but use a X-Gettext-Domain hack to choose which variant (e.g. xdg autostart dir) | 16:00 |
| * sebner waves at asac :) | 16:00 | |
| seb128 | asac, hum, it's a hack from didrocks I think but he's away 2 weeks | 16:01 |
| asac | seb128: yeah i know thats why i wondered if anyone else knows about that. i wasnt able to spot the code that does that :(( | 16:03 |
| seb128 | it's probably in gdm | 16:03 |
| seb128 | review the distro changes there | 16:03 |
| asac | already did briefly ... let me look agian | 16:05 |
| asac | wow we have a bunch of patches ;) | 16:05 |
| ebroder | kaushal: Did you see someone already replied to your e-mail? | 16:06 |
| asac | seb128: dont see it there using grep | 16:06 |
| asac | lets look in gnome-session | 16:06 |
| asac | not there either :/ | 16:07 |
| seb128 | asac, let me check | 16:07 |
| asac | it really feels like he is reusing some existing code ... otherwise he probably wouldnt have reused this awful Gettext thing ;) | 16:07 |
| seb128 | hum | 16:15 |
| seb128 | asac, 15_default_session.patch in gdm? | 16:15 |
| seb128 | asac, /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xdg_path-on-session | 16:16 |
| seb128 | asac, I don't think X-Gettext-Domain is used for the default session | 16:23 |
| seb128 | asac, it's just the gettext domain for translations | 16:23 |
| asac | hmm | 16:26 |
| asac | seb128: so in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xdg_path-on-session there needs to be GDMSESSION set to "efl" somehow ... how is that working? | 16:27 |
| asac | let me look at 15_default_session.patch | 16:27 |
| seb128 | asac, the etc change is changing the session parameter according to what you select in gdm | 16:28 |
| seb128 | asac, it's not what selects the session though | 16:28 |
| seb128 | asac, GDMSESSION has the value of the .desktop you select | 16:28 |
| seb128 | ie une.desktop will have GDMSESSION=une | 16:29 |
| seb128 | asac, those -une paths have special gconf keys and autostart etc | 16:29 |
| asac | seb128: thats strange because the efl .desktop is called "une-efl.desktop", but the xdg path is: xdg-efl ... so where is the une- stripped ;)? | 16:29 |
| asac | oh | 16:29 |
| asac | wait | 16:29 |
| asac | might be i am just looking at old (not cleaned up conffiles) here | 16:30 |
| asac | seb128: kk ... all fine ;) | 16:30 |
| asac | still feels hackish ;) | 16:30 |
| seb128 | ok | 16:30 |
| asac | thanks | 16:30 |
| seb128 | np | 16:30 |
| * asac has to think about this to understand what this means for his uxlaunch plans | 16:30 | |
| seb128 | asac, /usr/share/gconf/une/mandatory/20_une-gconf-mandatory | 16:31 |
| seb128 | asac, see that for example | 16:31 |
| asac | seb128: so to understand our efl session autostarts whatever is in /etc/xdg/autostart + /etc/xdg/xdg-une-efl/autostart ? | 16:32 |
| seb128 | asac, you might want to set the wm and the panel to what you want use | 16:32 |
| asac | e.g. both? | 16:32 |
| * asac checks that too | 16:32 | |
| asac | seb128: ok, but thos /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel values etc are read by gnome-session, right? | 16:32 |
| seb128 | yes | 16:32 |
| asac | e.g. if gnome-session starts with right XDG dirs all should be fine? | 16:33 |
| asac | (given that all the gconf stuff is also there) | 16:33 |
| seb128 | asac, you don't use gnome-session? | 16:33 |
| seb128 | XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="$DEFAULT_XDG_CONFIG_DIRS"/xdg-"$GDMSESSION":"$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS" | 16:33 |
| seb128 | asac, in the xsession.d | 16:33 |
| asac | seb128: we use it. thats why i think i dont have to bother about /usr/share/gconf/une/mandatory/20_une-gconf-mandatory that much | 16:33 |
| seb128 | asac, ie it appends the path, so you get both yes | 16:34 |
| asac | seb128: yeah. all fine. i will come back if i end up with issues | 16:34 |
| seb128 | asac, well what us uxlaunch? | 16:34 |
| seb128 | us -> is | 16:34 |
| seb128 | some sort of panel you want to run? | 16:34 |
| asac | seb128: replacement for gdm | 16:34 |
| seb128 | oh ok | 16:34 |
| asac | that doesnt have all the login stuff etc. | 16:34 |
| asac | just a single user that auto logs in | 16:34 |
| seb128 | why do you want to use that? | 16:34 |
| seb128 | I guess you want to use lightdm next cycle | 16:35 |
| asac | seb128: probably. we dont have requirement to select a different session in UI nor do we want to display any log-in on our images | 16:36 |
| asac | and we want to be lightweight ;) ... might be we end up using gdm anyway. just wanted to try | 16:36 |
| seb128 | asac, just export GDMSESSION then in your script ;-) | 16:37 |
| seb128 | asac, we might switch to lightdm for ubuntu next cycle | 16:37 |
| seb128 | asac, but that's for next cycle... | 16:38 |
| asac | yeah | 16:38 |
| asac | seb128: is lightdm already in the archive? | 16:38 |
| asac | i am happy to feature non-production-quality software in linaro images ;) | 16:38 |
| seb128 | hehe | 16:39 |
| seb128 | asac, no, but robert_ancell has a ppa | 16:39 |
| seb128 | not sure if he wanted to upload it to universe this cycle | 16:39 |
| seb128 | I think he does | 16:39 |
| asac | seb128: robert is lagging on vacation right now? | 16:40 |
| asac | or just timezone aka bed like weaknesses? | 16:40 |
| seb128 | he's still there for 2 or 3 weeks | 16:40 |
| seb128 | it's 2am for him | 16:40 |
| asac | thanks | 16:40 |

| penguin42 | using the (newer) debian package works, so in one way it's an easy fix | 21:13 |
| jono | is anyone having problems with maverick upgrades | 21:14 |
| jono | I get a tonne of dependency issues | 21:14 |
| jono | it looks like gconf is causing many of them | 21:14 |
| prefrontal | i'm creating 32/64 bit packages, each of which depends on two other packages that i created. the 32 bit packages are all working, but on 64 bit I get "Depends: * which is a virtual package" | 21:15 |
| prefrontal | (aptitude gives that error output) it works fine on 32 bit, and i'm confused now.. | 21:15 |
| prefrontal | you can see the output here: http://pastey.net/139656 | 21:16 |
| prefrontal | on 32 bit `apt-cache depends emergent' shows libodeemergent and libquarter as real packages, but on 64 bit it shows them as virtual | 21:19 |
| === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan | ||
| geser | jono: I updated my maverick just a few minutes ago without any problems | 21:23 |
| geser | prefrontal: and you built the library as 64bit packages too? | 21:24 |
| jono | geser, think I have it fixed now, thanks! | 21:26 |
| cjwatson | cnd: please bring it up with the kernel team - grub is triggering it, but they're kernel issues that we need to have fixed | 21:33 |
| prefrontal | geser, they are built in a 64 bit virtual machine | 21:33 |
| === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter | ||
| cnd | cjwatson, ok, thanks | 21:38 |
| cjwatson | cnd: (I'm willing to back out the grub change pre-release if need be, but I want to give the kernel team as much time as possible to fix things) | 21:39 |
| cnd | cjwatson, whichever way is fine with me | 21:40 |
| cnd | I just wanted to mention it in case you hadn't seen it before | 21:40 |
| cjwatson | not with me, I'd much rather the kernel got fixed because then I can do shiny boot graphics | 21:40 |
| cjwatson | cnd: oh, I've seen it LOTS | 21:40 |
| cjwatson | had some long discussions with kernel folks at the sprint | 21:40 |
| penguin42 | cjwatson: I guess it's most Radeon users? | 21:40 |
| cjwatson | penguin42: varies | 21:40 |
| cjwatson | penguin42: I can't make any quantitative assertions with any accuracy, and I suspect neither can you. ;-) | 21:41 |
| penguin42 | cjwatson: Indeed | 21:41 |
| geser | prefrontal: I guess you put your debs into a repository (as apt-cache works). Did you update it with your 64bit debs? | 21:42 |
| prefrontal | geser, yes, i use this command, essentially the same as is used for 32 bit: cd /usr/local/ubuntu && dpkg-scanpackages dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64 /dev/null | grep -v -E 'Depends:[^a-z]$' > dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages && gzip dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages | 21:43 |
| prefrontal | but, i appear to have fixed the problem ;-) | 21:44 |
| prefrontal | somehow i passed -arch i686 to 64 bit for the last 4-5 major ubuntu releases, and my packages always worked.. switched it to -arch amd64 and it now works | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | penguin42: iscsitarget> I'll deal with that | 21:59 |
| penguin42 | cjwatson: Thanks | 21:59 |
| cjwatson | thanks for raising it | 22:00 |
| * penguin42 has a nice little kvm iscsi server/client test setup - one kvm guest iscsi boots off another kvm guest running an iscsi server | 22:00 | |
| * penguin42 should think of something crueller to do to kvm | 22:00 | |
| cjwatson | penguin42: may take a little while, the 1.4.20.1 packaging is broken in some ways and 1.4.20.2 userspace doesn't work with 1.4.20.1 kernelspace | 22:08 |
| cjwatson | penguin42: plus, 1.4.20.1 has a security vulnerability open against it anyway | 22:08 |
| cjwatson | penguin42: so I think I'll ask the kernel team to bump to 1.4.20.2 | 22:08 |
| penguin42 | cjwatson: There's also a bit of a mess in that we seem to have an iscsi kernel module in our kenrels, yet we still have an iscsitarget-source package | 22:08 |
| cjwatson | penguin42: I'm OK with that, it's been the case in the past and I can imagine it being a useful get-out sometimes | 22:09 |
| cjwatson | penguin42: having as much as possible provided in our stock kernel packaging is kind of deliberate | 22:09 |
| penguin42 | cjwatson: Yeh I'm ok with it being in the stock kernel, I'm not sure keeping the iscsitarget-source package is a good idea - I initially filed a bug complaining that it wouldn't build, but it's just not needed if it's in the kernel | 22:10 |
| cjwatson | I'd prefer not to introduce extra divergence from Debian | 22:10 |
| cjwatson | the less we diverge, the easier it is to merge | 22:10 |

| jdong | fellow archive admins... bringing up sagemath again; is it possible to simply remove a package from jaunty and karmic? | 23:36 |
| jdong | speaking with the Debian maintainer and upstream, the package was in an utterly broken state when it was auto-synced from Sid, and upstream has been getting quite irritated with users finding this package and concluding sagemath is broken | 23:37 |
| jdong | I originally was thinking of doing a SRU, but the maintainer has no immediate plans to begin the undertaking of fixing the package | 23:38 |
| cjwatson | afraid not - it would involve rewriting the Packages files in the release pocket which we try really really really hard not to do | 23:38 |
| jdong | ah | 23:38 |
| micahg | jdong: why not upload stub packages | 23:38 |
| jdong | that's what I was going to ask next | 23:38 |
| jdong | what's the next-most-preferred way of preventing users from installing the package? | 23:39 |
| jdong | maybe better worded as "making upstream happier" | 23:39 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure, they all suck. stub packages would be not entirely dreadful I suppose | 23:39 |
| jdong | stubbed in what way, install it and nothing shows up? | 23:40 |
| cjwatson | empty package with suitable descriptiveness | 23:40 |
| jdong | yeah, I suppose that might be the next best compromise. | 23:40 |
| ajmitch | so people had had sagemath installed would get it replaced with this empty package | 23:40 |
| micahg | jdong: I just did empty packages for enigmail-locales (granted, I did a replaces on enigmail, but the emptiness is the same) | 23:40 |
| ajmitch | assuming that's what you wanted | 23:41 |
| jdong | mmm ok, I'll pass the word on to upstream and see if they want to proceed with that route | 23:41 |
| ajmitch | it'd be nice if there was some way in the package to tell users about what happened, maybe with the notifier or NEWS file that gets shown | 23:42 |
| jdong | right | 23:42 |
| ebroder | What about having /usr/bin/sage or whatever be a 2-line shell script that echos "This package sucks. Please go actually get sage from http://[...]" | 23:43 |
| jdong | haha | 23:45 |
| jdong | can we replace /usr/bin/emacs with "this editor sucks, please go actually get vim.... | 23:45 |
| jdong | kidding! | 23:45 |
| ebroder | Only if we replace /usr/bin/vim with "this editor sucks, please go actually get nano..." :-P | 23:46 |
| * ajmitch lights up some torches & finds the pitchforks | 23:46 | |
| jdong | *groans* in other news, is there a "preferred" way of making an upstart job that starts as a non-root user? | 23:47 |
| jdong | yes yes, insert rant about how the daemon should drop root itself | 23:48 |

| jdong | while waiting for someone to do it correctly ;-) | 23:50 |
| cjwatson | use start-stop-daemon | 23:50 |
| cjwatson | you can just avoid using the features of s-s-d that are done better in upstart (like pidfiles) | 23:51 |
| jdong | oh okay | 23:52 |
| jdong | for some reason I thought start-stop-daemon was a sysvinit-ism | 23:52 |
| cjwatson | nope, it's a dpkg tool to supplement init systems with what packages actually need | 23:54 |
| jdong | ok gotcha, I'll use that then | 23:55 |
