ajmitchjcastro: nice dinosaur :)04:05
nigelbheh :)04:13
* ajmitch awaits the dinosaur vs bird argument04:14
nigelbevolution04:15
nigelbIt was a mix of dinosaur vs bird.04:15
nigelbshoulda gotten a raptor though.04:15
nigelbMore fierceful :p04:15
ajmitchmaybe he'll get that on the other arm04:15
nigelbhahah04:16
ajmitchof course he had to be all metal & get the photos with the metallica shirt on :)04:16
jcastrothere is no dino/bird argument!04:16
ajmitchand there he is!04:16
ajmitchhey :)04:16
jcastrohi aj04:17
ajmitchjcastro: so what are you getting for the other arm? a raptor as nigelb suggests?04:18
jcastroI have a snake there already04:19
nigelbajmitch: that is not about being metal.04:19
nigelbajmitch: its about keeping the job :p (you know, under jono)04:20
ajmitchof course04:20
ajmitchbut jcastro was like that long before he became one of the horsemen :)04:20
jcastroyeah!04:20
nigelb(already courrupted :p)04:20
* ajmitch recalls the fun of uds in mt view04:21
nigelbThe one at google?04:21
ajmitchyes04:21
nigelbI've only seen pictures :(04:21
nigelbjcastro: do you by chance have a python there? ;)04:22
ajmitchof course the main reason I use ubuntu one is to have somewhere to buy the latest iron maiden album :)04:22
nigelbhahaha04:22
jcastroajmitch: hah that's how I got it04:22
ajmitchit worked well until it stalled on downloading the last track04:24
* nigelb wishes he could buy stuff from ubuntu one04:24
nigelbThe ones I like aren't available for my region.  Sigh.04:25
ajmitchI do have to use some hacks to get rhythmbox to use an ssh tunnel as a SOCKS proxy in order to get music in the US region04:25
ajmitchit's not nice04:25
nigelbOh. See.  Lots of sales lost :(04:26
ajmitchyes, the regional restrictions on it are the single most annoying thing about the music store04:26
nigelbButs not Ubuntu One's blame per se.04:28
nigelbMusic Industry operational methods.04:28
ajmitchno, but it's still annoying enough04:29
nigelbYeah :/04:29

ScottKajmitch: Would you be up for making cyrus-sasl2-heimdal build?04:50
ajmitchI can try, what's wrong with it?04:50
ScottKsample-server.c:69: error: conflicting types for 'getsubopt'04:51
ScottK/usr/include/stdlib.h:896: note: previous declaration of 'getsubopt' was here04:51
ScottKIt needs a rebuild for NBS and it won't ....04:51
ScottKIt would need a rebuild anyway to match the cyrus-sasl2 version.04:52
ScottKIt's the last package left for the Heimdal transition.04:52
ajmitchfetching it now04:52
ScottKThanks.04:53
ajmitchScottK: it at least looks like cyrus-sasl2 had the exact same error fixed last month05:02
ScottKajmitch: Sounds both convenient and plausible.05:02
ajmitcheffectively the same source?05:02
ScottKYes, just built against Heimdal instead of Kerberos or something.05:03
ScottKThere's a Debian bug suggesting they can be merged now.05:03
ScottKIt wasn't clear on exactly how though, so I'm pretty sure we should wait on going that far.05:03
* ajmitch tracks down what the change was from bug 60018005:03

ScottKYou need to live somewhere with more bandwidth than a soda straw.05:05
ajmitchbut we have hobbits here!05:06
ajmitchso much for trying to grab branches of cyrus-sasl205:09
ajmitchthe idea of UDD is nice & all, but it's often just not there05:09
ScottKYep.05:12
ajmitchok, changes from cyrus-sasl2 applied fine, just waiting for pbuilder now05:16
ScottKCool.05:17
* ScottK didn't think to look there.05:18
ajmitchhere is where I need an SSD for compiling05:23
micahgScottK: I think you misread teh changelog as did I, there's no new package for google gadgets, just the .docs file was mislabeled05:25
ajmitchScottK: you wouldn't happen to know if this can be tested beyond installing it? :)05:39

canesinHi all.. I want to use an science package in an application I'm developing.. but the package in universe is years old... how can I take care if the package ?? Can I adopt it ??19:43
micahgcanesin: you can certainly work to keep it updated, we don't have "maintainers" per se19:44
micahgcanesin: I think there's a MOTU science team19:44
canesinmicahg: =) .. so how can I do that ?? I already have an launchpad account...19:45
micahgcanesin: https://edge.launchpad.net/~motuscience19:47
iuliancanesin: I suggest you to join the Debian science team and talk to them regarding that package.20:25
iulianIf the current maintainer is MIA and the package is really outdated, it would be great if you could adopt it.20:25
canesiniulian Debian science ?? Go rigth upstream you say ??20:26
iuliancanesin: Upstream in this case is Debian.  Take a look at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience.20:27
canesiniulian: Okey, but what I really would like it to have that package at ubuntu... I'm writing a new application that make use of it... and I believe most of the users will be ubuntu20:33
canesiniulian: wow !! The dabian package is even more older !!! The software is "paraview", the most recent one is 3.8.1 .. in ubuntu it is 3.4.0 and in debian it is 3.2.2 ..20:36
iuliancanesin: I agree with you, but maybe the rest of them would be using Debian.20:36
iuliancanesin: I see that 3.8.1 has just been uploaded to Debian a couple of weeks ago.20:38
iuliancanesin: s/Debian/Debian unstable/20:39
iulianAnd it's currently in Squeeze as well.20:39
canesinyeah... I'm see it now20:41
canesinI was in lenny branch20:41
iuliancanesin: Oh, we've got 3.4.0 in Maverick.20:42
* iulian adds it to my todo list.20:42
iuliancanesin: So yea, if you're interested in getting involved in maintaining paraview, please do consider joining the Debian Science team.  Help is always needed. :)20:43
canesiniulian: Okey.. how do I do that ?? If I help update it in Debian it will make in Ubuntu universe ??20:44
canesinI work at National Institute of Science and Technology in Thermophysics ...20:44
canesinHere most of us use ubuntu...20:45
iuliancanesin: It seems that the Ubuntu package has local changes.  In this case the package needs to be merged with the one that Debian has.20:48
iulianhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging20:49
canesiniulian: sorry.. wireless is droping20:54
iuliancanesin: No worries.20:54

micahg!backports | canesin23:51
ubottucanesin: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging23:51
* micahg will brb23:51
canesinlol .. is more complicated than I have imagined23:51
RainCTcanesin: Well, all those different policies can be a bit overwhelming at first, but it's not that complicated once you know how it works.23:56
RainCTcanesin: Basically you need to get the package into the current development release (Maverick) first, and when it's there you can ask for a backport to Lucid (which means it'll get copied into the "proposed" archive, wait for some people to test it and then it can get into "lucid-backports").23:57
