alucardniHello, I'm in process of triaging LP 618562 but I'm not able to mark the bug as triage :-S00:56
ubottuLaunchpad bug 618562 in Ubuntu "new package cgit" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/61856200:56
micahgalucardni: no, you can't, you should request that in #ubuntu-bugs if you think it has all the information00:59
alucardnithanks micahg :)01:00
lfaraoneHmm. Would bug 578608  qualify for a SRU? Upstream asked for the fix to be ported back to Lucid.03:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 578608 in autokey (Ubuntu) "Can't select "Automatically Start Autokey at Login"" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/57860803:19
micahgwow, they're really bad at 1 fix per commit...03:22
micahglfaraone: you would need the code for that one fix03:23
micahgugh...http://code.google.com/p/autokey/source/detail?r=23303:23
lfaraonemicahg: hehe. upstream identified the change.03:23
micahglfaraone: out of that mess?03:24
lfaraonemicahg: http://code.google.com/p/autokey/source/diff?spec=svn233&r=233&format=side&path=/branches/autokey-combined/src/lib/gtkui/settingsdialog.py03:24
micahglfaraone: just that file?03:25
lfaraonemicahg: that's what I was told. http://code.google.com/p/autokey/issues/detail?id=44#c503:25
lfaraonemicahg: the fix looks right, too.03:25
lfaraonesince we don't ship an autokey.desktop anymore.03:26
micahglfaraone: k, well, they review in upload queue now, so I'd say make the SRU and upload to -proposed, seems pretty safe03:26
lfaraonemicahg: okay, that version of the package has no patch system. I'm okay to just make the change directly to the source, then?03:31
lfaraone(it has a debian/patches/ dir though :X )03:31
micahglfaraone: yes03:31
micahglfaraone: is it source format 3?03:31
lfaraonemicahg: nope.03:32
lfaraonethat's odd, that changeset was already in lucid.03:33
lfaraoneupstream must have found the wrong fix, then :)03:33
micahglfaraone: heh :)03:34
lfaraonewell then, makes my life easier. "incomplete, identify a fix and get back to me"03:34
ScottK10.04.1 is released, so -proposed is open for business again.03:46

RhondaNow that the FeatureFreeze is in place, how would one request a sync? Does requestsync has a special option for that?07:09
RhondaActually I missed the timeline for a sync request for wesnoth-1.8 which finally contains the unversioned meta package to ease upgrades.07:10
persiaIt doesn't.  If the sync doesn't include new features, just follow the normal procedure.  If it does, file an exception request, and change to a sync when approved.07:10
persia!ffe07:10
ubottuFeature Freeze Exception. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess for the freeze exception process.07:10
RhondaAnd it would be a good idea to drop the wesnoth source package from maverick alltogether.07:10
Rhondapersia: Well, it actually can be considered a new feature that it now builds the unversioned metapackage to ease upgrades. :)07:11
persiaFile a bug with the rationale for removal, and subscribe the archive admins.  Most with good rationales are honored,.07:11
RhondaI'll try that.07:11
persiaheh.  Well, if you want, file an exception request :)  To me it sounds like you're just fixing an upgrade bug.07:12
* persia is *not* involved in approving freeze exceptions, so any guidelines expressed are entirely personal07:12
ajmitchrequestsync does actually have a feature for syncs after feature freeze07:18
ajmitchit just subscribes the release team to the bug that gets filed07:19
Rhondaargl, subscribed OEM Archive Admins by accident.  %-/07:22
nigelbheh, don't think it matters07:23
RhondaHow do I find the archive admins in the subscribe box? It only lists me the OEM ones and UK Mirror Service?07:23
nigelbubuntu-archive07:24
RhondaAlright, #619650 and #619652 :)07:26
ajmitchthis is why requestsync has the -e flag :)07:27

dholbachhey nigelb07:33
nigelbajmitch: as soon as LucidFox and I get organized.  We're getting there :007:33
nigelbajmitch: I finally got the new list and processing it.07:34
nigelbdholbach: http://blog.qa.ubuntu.com/node/101 \o/07:34
dholbachnigelb, YES!07:34
nigelb409 is a good number, small but good :)07:35
ajmitchgreat07:35
nigelbWe're moving slowly. (hint hint: Review one patch a day!)07:36
* ajmitch decides to be naughty & start up debian07:44
vishnigelb: i think we need a reality check.. :) '409' i would consider that number very close to the normal patch/debdiff review which /had/ already been going on. the script tags debdiffs as patch as well, so debdiffs moving out of the sponsors queue is also included in 409. Plus if you see the desktop patches, patch submitters are immediately asked by the desktop team to forwarded them upstream,so bug gets tagged -forwarded which /was/ already a regula08:35
vishr process,[a lot of the other teams do the same as well], which would eventually yield a much lower number of reviews actually being done. but yes, "We're moving on very slow and we need to Review one patch a day!"  we have to remember that this is the first cycle this has been started, so its not bad for a new start... :)08:35
vishoh! typed too much ;p08:36
* nigelb blinks08:41
nigelbI turn my eyes away and I have 2 paragraphs to read.08:41
vish;p08:41
nigelbvish: If desktop patches come under our workflow that is indeed a good thing.08:41
nigelbBut that is still not cheating the numbers anyway.08:42
vishnigelb: dint say it was cheating , but the number of patches being actually reviewed is lower than we can attribute,  while it only increases their work08:43
nigelbvish: the 409 is the sum of all unique bugs with anything other than patch tags.08:43
nigelbvish: how is it increasing their work?08:43
nigelbIts just a workflow that we follow for bugs with patches.  they're happy to adopt the same as well.08:43
vishnigelb: yeah , they now have to remember to tag a bug patch-whatever for something they have already been doing..08:44
nigelbwhich is not a big deal if you ask me.08:44
nigelbI know that seb has been reviewing a good number of patches :)08:44
vishnigelb: nope not a big deal, but what i'm trying to mention is, that it doesnt/shouldnt really count as a patch reviewed by the "Operation cleansweep"08:45
nigelbvish: why NOT!08:50
nigelbOperating cleansweep is about reviewing all the patches.  It doesn't say that if desktop does something it shouldn't be counted.08:51
vishnigelb: we've just increased a bit of their work and claiming it as part of the success for the project, which is supposed to clean up the old patch which were left unattended08:51
vishnigelb: what i'm trying to say , is review process != Operation Cleansweep08:52
vishnigelb: desktop following th process is good08:52
vishthe*08:52
vishbut claiming it as part of something different which we initially intended to do is just a bit of hogwash.. ;p08:53
RhondaCan someone help me understand the openarena build errors on amd64 and powerpc? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openarena/0.8.5-308:54
RhondaThe following packages have unmet dependencies:08:55
Rhonda libsdl1.2-dev : Depends: libpulse-dev but it is not going to be installed08:55
Rhonda… in both build logs. It doesn't look like that would be something that has to get addressed in openarena, is it?08:55
nigelbvish: Cleansweep was not perse about old patches.  It was about *all* the patches.08:58
nigelbThis discussion did come up at UDS.  Did we want to do only old or both old and new.08:58
nigelbThe choice was to do all and this was a known side effect.08:59
nigelbs/was/is08:59
nigelblunch, afk09:01
geserRhonda: it looks like archive skew, a give-back of openarena should work09:06
vishnigelb:  i dont see how that sounds really sensible, taking the work that has already been going on by the existing teams and tagging them as /our/ success is wrong..  :)09:06
Rhondageser: So clicking on the retry?09:06
geseryes09:07
RhondaThanks. Rather asking twice (and annoy through that) than annoy through clicks that weren't meant to follow. :)09:07
geserI checked with "apt-get -s build-dep openarena" if this got fixed (pbuilder would also work)09:08
RhondaDon't have a powerpc or amd64 system on which I could try that at hands. :/09:09
geserI've only amd64 and checked there09:10
vishnigelb: in the sense, what has Operation Cleansweep actually improved, wrt patches? we brought in a workflow, but has it really improved the chances of a patch getting reviewed?09:11
nigelbvish: It has.   To some extent.09:15
nigelbThe problem is the backlog.09:15
nigelbIf we are at zero, its easier to review the newer ones09:15
nigelbif at some point we manage to clear the backlog (I hope by end of N cycle), then patches would be processed fast.09:16
bilalakhtarhey09:16
vishnigelb: yes it did, but we need to claim responsibility *only* for that, right now, its like just using a contributors patch and the uploader claiming it to be his just because he uploaded it..09:16
bilalakhtarvish: IMHO it hasn't improved anything09:16
bilalakhtarvish: we are still at 13% progress09:16
nigelbbilalakhtar: isn't taht much better than zero.09:17
nigelbIt was bitrotting09:17
vishbilalakhtar: yes, we have not improved a lot, but if you check the backlog that 13% is a bit cooked up too ;)09:17
* nigelb notes that its 19%09:17
nigelbhttp://bobbo.me.uk/09:17
nigelbvish: How /can/ you claim its cooked up09:17
nigelbOperation cleansweep is about reviewing *all* the patches.  We are getting there.  Which is process.  *NOT* cooked up.09:18
vishnigelb: yes, its not *actual* work what has been done..09:18
nigelbugh, you're rounding up to the same point again.09:18
bilalakhtarnigelb: vish is right. its cooked up. people are just in a hurry and are reviewing patches in a very easy and quick way09:18
bilalakhtarnigelb: There are many regression bugs coming up now09:19
nigelbbilalakhtar: wait, are you confusing one with other?09:19
nigelbpatch review is about forwarding patches to relevant upstream09:19
vishnigelb: it is just claiming a process that has been going on for years and saying "yay! we have done these many bugs" , when the actual bugs being reviewed are by the sponsors and the teams which have been doing this work for ages09:19
nigelbIts not about getting them into Ubuntu immediately.09:19
bilalakhtarnigelb: I understand, but both needs to be done, right?09:19
nigelbbilalakhtar: can you read the wiki for reviewers team please? You're confusing sru process with this.  Its totatly different.09:20
bilalakhtarnigelb: no I am not09:20
nigelbvish: We started at 0.  Now we're at 400.  How does this be done by sponsors?09:20
bilalakhtarnigelb: I completely understand OC is for development releases09:21
bilalakhtarnot *stable* releases09:21
vishnigelb: why are debdiffs being tagged? and counted when they are done by the sponsors?09:21
nigelbbilalakhtar: NO.  OC is not for development release either.09:21
nigelbvish: debdiffs are not counted.09:21
bilalakhtarnigelb: then what?09:21
vishnigelb: they are, i have shown you this several times09:21
bilalakhtarnigelb: lol, are all patches going into lucid then?09:21
nigelbbilalakhtar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OperationCleansweep09:21
* bilalakhtar has that page open09:22
nigelbvish: YES, but that doesn't get into the count which I'm talking about09:22
* nigelb moves discussion to -reviews09:22
bilalakhtarnigelb: 'The idea is to get the number of bugs with patches down to 0 by Maverick's release.'09:22
nigelbbilalakhtar: Yes, but we will not incorporate them into maverick immediately.09:23
nigelbThe idea is to forward them upstream, and let them make a call09:23
bilalakhtarnigelb: that's whta I meant09:23

tumbleweedraywang: I assume you have a good reason? dpkg has a --force option11:27
raywangtumbleweed, well , it doesn't work11:28
bond_goneraywang, but you should be beware of reverse dependencies as it might break working of a system11:29
tumbleweedraywang: if I have to talk you through getting it to work, I'm worried that you aren't aware enough of how bad this is11:29
raywangbond_gone, yeah, i know, but no problem with that, i just want an option like --nodeps in rpm11:29
raywangtumbleweed, well, i know, i want to downgrade a package, but it doesn't allow me to do that with apt-get11:30
tumbleweedapt-get does allow you to downgrade11:30
tumbleweedas does dpkg11:30
bond_goneraywang, even aptitude does11:30
raywangso what i'm thinking is remove that package regardless the dependencies, and use apt-get to install right away11:30
azeemraywang: that's the wrong solution11:31
azeemjust downgrade it11:31
raywangwell, how to use apt-get to downgrade a package, i still can get it from the manpage :(11:31
raywangcan't11:31
tumbleweedraywang: apt-get install package=$VERSION11:31
raywangok11:32

azeemraywang: then your question should've been that, not "how do I break my system"11:32
raywangwell, it remove some dependencies as well when I downgrade it...11:33
tumbleweedraywang: was this a new version from a ppa?11:34
raywangyep11:34
tumbleweedlook at ppa-purge11:34
bond_goneraywang, aptitude resolves the dependencies on downgrade i think11:34
bond_goneso that your system will not break stuff11:35
