nigelbGet the source and rebuild, I'm trying to figure out how to build it without pbuilder.06:30
nigelbBut it may fail horribly depending on the versions of the depends....06:31
glickcan i just install it via the install script?06:43

pittirobbiew: hello16:25
robbiewpitti: hi :)16:26
robbiewpitti: I had a ToDo from last week's release meeting16:26
robbiewslangasek wanted to know if the SRU tracker could spit out a warning about significant size increases in packages in main16:26
pittirobbiew: I wrote a script for comparing the package size deltas of two (alternate) isos16:28
pittirobbiew: do we need that for LTS point releases? then it's already there16:28
robbiewslangasek: ^?16:28
slangasekpitti: what I think we want is a warning about size increases of packages *before* we start trying to turn them into ISOs16:29
slangasekby the time we did that for this round, it was too late16:29
robbiewhow would we define "significant size increase"?16:30
pittiit shouldn't be too hard to adopt the logics of iso-deb-size-compare to compare *-updates against final16:30
pittirobbiew: iso-deb-size-compare lists added packages, removed packages, and size differences of > 100 kB16:30
pittiwell, size increases (we don't generally complain about decreases)16:31
slangasekpitti: hmm, so you reinvented cd-size-analysis on antimony? :)16:31
pittibut I guess for SRUs we shoudl actually list decreases as well, they are probably a bug16:31
pittislangasek: I couldn't get that to work for the life of it16:31
slangasekpitti: regardless, as I said, this is something I think we need to be aware of in the SRU process, not just when we're to the point of creating ISOs16:32
pittiright, understood16:32
pittiit could become part of sru-report16:32
slangasekrobbiew: "significant size increase" - more than 5%, or more than 300k increase across the set of binary packages16:32
slangasekmaybe filtered by seed16:32
pittislangasek: I guess for all packages in *-proposed and *-updates should do for now; it's not that many usually16:34
pittibut we could add the component indeed16:34
pittioh, "... in main"16:34

goldinsHello, I hope this is not off-topic but I'm confused as to whether the issue I'm having with the new openssh (5.5) smartcard support is my fault or ubuntu's fault. The output says "dlopen pkcs11 failed: /usr/lib/pkcs11: cannot read file data: Is a directory" when I run ssh -I pkcs1117:58
goldins(I'm running maverick)17:59
cjwatsongoldins: one moment18:04
goldinscjwatson: it's cool, I can wait18:04
cjwatsongoldins: your -I option is certainly wrong - it's meant to be a path to a library18:05
cjwatsongoldins: does http://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki/OpenSSH help?18:05
cjwatsonthe syntax has changed from earlier unofficial patches against OpenSSH18:05
cjwatsonif you aren't using OpenSC, presumably you have some other PKCS#11 provider, in which case you need to provide the full path to its .sos18:06
cjwatsoner, .so18:06
goldinscjwatson: it seems that if I move the directory out of the way and create a link instead to opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so.0.0.0, I get a different error18:06
cjwatsonyou shouldn't move files around there; you should provide a different argument to -I instead18:07
goldinscjwatson: if that's the case, then ssh without arguments shouldn't say this: [-I pkcs11]  among other things18:07
cjwatsonpkcs11 is a substitution variable there18:07
goldinsI see18:07
cjwatsonjust like -p port18:07
cjwatsonyou aren't meant to literally type port there18:07
goldinsI suppose :-P18:07
cjwatsonthe man page is more helpful18:08
cjwatson     -I pkcs1118:08
cjwatson             Specify the PKCS#11 shared library ssh should use to communicate18:08
cjwatson             with a PKCS#11 token providing the user's private RSA key.18:08
goldinsalso, /usr/lib/pkcs11/PKCS11_API.so is a dead link to ../opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so but I think that's addressed in this bug:18:08
cjwatsonmm, I don't know anything about the specific implementations, only about the OpenSSH end of it18:09
goldinshttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencryptoki/+bug/23739218:09
ubottuLaunchpad bug 237392 in opencryptoki (Ubuntu Hardy) "Missing symlinks for pkcs11_startup in /usr/lib/opencryptoki/stdll" [Low,Fix released]18:09
cjwatsonyeah, that's a bug, it will probably work if you install libopencryptoki-dev18:10
cjwatsonbut in the meantime I guess you can just say 'ssh -I ./usr/lib/opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so.0.0.0'18:11
cjwatsoner, 'ssh -I /usr/lib/opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so.0.0.0', stray '.'18:11
cjwatsonand you can put the provider path in PKCS11Provider in ~/.ssh/config once it works18:13

slangasekRiddell: re: qt4-qws - I had a good chat with svuorela yesterday on IRC; the ABI breakage isn't as bad as all that (it really is confined to the GUI components), I'm going to put together a proof-of-concept build that only rebuilds the really-truly-incompatible bits and see what that does for build time18:30
slangasekSpamapS: because MoM is the only tool that actually helps with this? :)18:31
Riddellslangasek: you want to talk to alf and asac mostly, it's their package18:31
slangasekRiddell: well, if I prove that the build overhead is small and I'm arguing to put it in qt4-x11, that impacts *your* package :)18:32
SpamapSslangasek: bzr needs a "changelog mode"18:32
SpamapSthat treats each block as its own immutable entity18:33
Riddellslangasek: mm18:33
slangasekSpamapS: recent bzr merge-package's that I've done seem to have totally mangled the debian/changelog... so maybe it already has one but it's not very good :)18:33

barryjames_w: you don't happen to still be online do you?21:47
james_wbarry: mais oui21:48
barryjames_w: so, i'm seeing something that i don't understand.  i'm working on python-numpy.  we have 1.3-mumble in maverick, squeeze has 1.4-mumble.  i go to a branch of lp:ubuntu/python-numpy and do 'bzr merge-package lp:debian/squeeze/python-numpy'.  the branch now contains numpy 1.4-mumble...21:49
barryjames_w: dch -i and add 1:1.4.1-4ubuntu1 (or ...4ubuntu1ppa0) and change from unstable to maverick.  the bzr bd -S21:50
barryjames_w: this produces both an orig.tar.gz and a debian.tar.gz, but only the debian.tar.gz gets dput'd to my ppa, and ppa rejects it because it can't find the orig.tar.gz.  what gives?21:51
james_wbarry: so, there is an optimisation in packaging that you don't have to provide the .orig.tar.gz if the target already has it21:52
james_wbarry: and there is a convention around version numbers that you start at -1 and work your way up from there21:52
james_wbarry: so dpkg-buildpackage has a heuristic that says "if the debian revision is greater than -1 then the target should already have it" and so omits the .orig.tar.gz21:53
james_wbarry: if you just have Debian then that works great21:53
barryjames_w: ;}21:53
james_wbarry: but once you introduce Ubuntu you hit the case you just have, and it falls down21:53
james_wbarry: so you have to tell dpkg-buildpackage that you want the .orig.tar.gz with -sa21:54
barryjames_w: so: bzr bd -S -- -sa ?21:54
james_wbarry: plus, as you are merging you should get it to include the Debian changes in the .changes, as they are new to Ubuntu.21:54
james_wbarry: to do that, find the last version number in Ubuntu, and pass -v<version> (no space)21:55
james_wbarry: and yes, that is how you would pass it21:55
barryjames_w: i understand all the above except the part about "Debian changes in the .changes"21:55
james_wbarry: ...at least it would be if I didn't anticipate your every need and upload just the other day a version of bzr-builddeb that can automate this21:55
james_wbarry: so it is now spelt "bzr bd -S --package-merge"21:55
james_wbarry: have a look at the source.changes you just uploaded that got rejected21:56
james_wbarry: in the middle there is an extract from the changelog with your "  * Merge from Debian squeeze [etc.]" lines21:56
james_wbarry: now build again with the --package-merge and look, and you will see your lines, but in addition below that lines that come from the Debian uploads that happened since we last merged.21:57
james_wbarry: these extra lines will get mailed around as the changes in this package, which is more correct than the changes in just your merge changelog entry21:57
james_wmake sense?21:57
tumbleweedbarry: the current version of python-numpy in ubuntu has no ubuntu delta. Can we not just sync?21:57
barryjames_w: it does, yes21:58
james_wexcellent21:58
barrytumbleweed: yes, i think so.  there's an open bug on that, but doko hasn't approved it yet.  or let's say there's still some discussion about it21:58
tumbleweedoh right, yes I saw that bug21:59
barryjames_w: one more question: after the debian merge, do i still need to bump the version number, i.e. dch -i?21:59
james_wbarry: yes, if I understand you correctly.22:00
tumbleweedbarry: yes22:00
james_wyou mean "after bzr merge-package lp:debian/..." run "dch -i" ?22:00
barryjames_w: yep22:00
james_wthen yes you do22:00
barryit makes sense, i just needed some confirmation ;)22:00
james_wwe need a changelog entry different from the Debian ones22:00
james_wbarry: feel free to file a bug requesting an option to merge-package to do that for you22:00
barryjames_w: thanks again for the great info.  i'll make sure to update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/Merging22:01
james_wthanks22:01
barryjames_w: will do, thanks again22:01
james_wthe "--package-merge" is new in maverick, so you might want to note that22:01
ScottKjcastro: Since you've marked finding a place for DDs to ask for sync requests as done in the spec ....  What's the place?22:02
jcastroScottK: -archive, I updated the sync request wiki page too22:02
barryjames_w: nod22:02
jcastroScottK: with "If you do not have a Launchpad account you can mail the ubuntu archive mailing list."22:03
jcastrowith a link to the list22:03
ScottKjcastro: My read of the discussion was some of the archive admins pushed back on that.22:03
ScottKslangasek: ^^^22:03
jcastromy read on that was "oh I guess we need to do a better job of telling people that"22:03
jcastroScottK: but whatever you guys decide is fine with me22:03
ScottKjcastro: Unless someone is going to actively deal with sync requests sent to that list, it's going to be a point of frustration.22:03
=== fta_ is now known as fta
nigelbScottK: Or a script.22:04
ScottKIIRC my question about who would do that got no response.22:04
ScottKnigelb: Someone would still have to run such a script.22:04
ScottK(not to mention write it)22:04
james_wdo people realise that -archive is moderated, with non-subscribers being held for moderation?22:05
james_wand that no-one would want to subscribe to the list?22:05
nigelbok, that's double pain.22:05
nigelbsomone has to moderate *and* process the queue22:05
ScottKSince one can't assume all DD's keep track of where we are in freezes, they can't just be cargo culted, they have to be reviewed by someone who knows what they are doing.22:05
ScottKjcastro: I don't think this one is solved.22:06
jcastroyargh.22:06
jcastrothe lp sync requests end up going in there22:07
jcastrowhy is the list moderated?22:07
jcastrodo the archive admins have regular meetings? It would be nice to just solve this22:08
ScottKNope.22:08
ScottKList is moderated like pretty much all Ubuntu lists are moderated.22:08
nigelbwith only LP being white listed I think22:09
slangasekjcastro: well, my position is that ubuntu-archive is not a list that I want to be subscribed to and would only subscribe to if it was made a policy for archive admins, which it has not yet :)22:09
ScottKjcastro: I'd suggest any solution that ends up requiring more archive admin work to process these into syncs isn't the right answer.  Where they should land is in something like a sponsor queue.22:09
ScottKslangasek: +122:09

jcastrowould it be ok if I just say "hey, you guys are the archive admins, you figure it out, but please do it by X date"22:11
ScottKjcastro: My response would be "They should file bugs and have them reviewed by sponsors.  Done."22:11
jcastroright, but this is for people who don't have LP accounts22:11
ScottKRight, I don't think that's the archive administrator's problem to solve.22:12
jcastrofrom what lucas told me there were quite a few people he talked to in Debian that would like to be able to just mail a list22:12
ScottKYes.  I understand and agree with the goal.  I just don't think ubuntu-archive is the right list and I don't think the archive admins can/should be the ones to solve it.22:12
jcastrook, I think what I'll do is when I return from vacation if the matter isn't solved I'll POSTPONE the item and we can bring it up during the debian session at UDS.22:13
bcurtiswxhey all, i've fixed a FTBFS with folks.  I've tested the fixes in pbuilder and it works.  What to do next to get the fixes into main?22:13
bcurtiswxempathy's waiting on LP for this fix22:14
ScottKjcastro: I don't think it needs to be in the Debian/Ubuntu session.  Ubuntu just needs to solve it.  Have a nice vacation.22:15
jcastroI'll just shove you all in a room and lock the door until you solve it, heh22:16
sistpotybcurtiswx: create a debdiff, add it to a bug (file one if it's not there yet) and subscribe ubuntu-sponsors22:17
bcurtiswxsistpoty: OK, brb22:18

ubottuLaunchpad bug 614039 in gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) "gnome-power-manager crashed with signal 5 in _XError()" [Undecided,Confirmed]22:29
chrisccoulsondupondje, somebody needs to ask for a proper backtrace (whilst running g-p-m with the --sync option). without that, it's prtty much useless22:33
chrisccoulsonand preferably run it through xtrace too22:33
dupondjechrisccoulson: what you need exactly ? I have this issue, so can simulate this :)22:36
chrisccoulsondupondje, please get a backtrace from g-p-m when running it with --sync :)22:37
dupondjeit says it made a coredump, but can't find it :s22:37
chrisccoulsoni suspect it hasn't made a coredump, because we set the core size to zero ;)22:38
