james_w`oh yeah :-)03:32
persiaIf you've a bundle of clamouring students, I'll spend an hour documenting something, but I'd rather not plan a proper session that would be unattended.03:33
persiaAlternately, I'd be more than glad to spend an hour doing Q&A on "How can I review Debian RC bugs to make sure they are closed in Maverick?"03:33
nigelbtumble weed's session had very poor attendance, so I'm not sure about bundle of students :(03:33

persiaajmitch, Sadly, only about 6 weeks a year, but during those six weeks, very much so.03:37

StevenKrobert_ancell: Only vaguely. What about it?08:02
glatzortkamppeter, morning. Is there a way to map packages to printer drivers in Ubuntu yet? I was just looking at the sessioninstaller bug and was wondering if there have been some changes recently.08:08
glatzortkamppeter, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sessioninstaller/+bug/612140f sessioninstaller08:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 612140 in sessioninstaller (Ubuntu) "session-installer crashed with AttributeError in InstallPrinterDrivers() when setting up a printer" [High,Fix committed]08:08
robert_ancellStevenK, I think you applied the path initially.  It looks like the patch causes a lot of problems and a lot of people are asking it to be removed.  I'm not sure if it's trading one set of problems for another though08:09
StevenKrobert_ancell: I didn't even write the patch, I just sponsored it. Since then I've not had time to investigate.08:11
tkamppeterglatzor, no, Red Hat's idea to add tags based on each supported printer device ID to Red Hat's RPM is not yet ported to DEB. AFAIK it not even reached RPM upstream yet.08:12

sabdfl.: 6: Can't open /scripts/casper-functions08:15
sabdflbut will it blend?08:15
sabdfls/blend/boot/?08:15
glatzortkamppeter, so it would be best to disable the call to PackageKit in the gnome print manager08:15
tkamppeterglatzor, if the patch fixes session-installer to at least not trigger Apport it is OK, the unneeded PackageKit call does not need significant time. Not patching s-c-p now avoids the risk of regression and keeps the deviation to upstream lower.08:18

persialuboss, This isn't a bad place, but it won't necessarily get you the best answer.12:32
persiaThe short answer is that we don't: we rely on the Soyuz component of launchpad to do it for us.12:32
persiaThe longer answer is buried in the Soyuz source.  That said, many of us use a wide variety of techniques for short-term, personal, or other archives.12:33
persiaSomeone in #launchpad might be able to give a more detailed answer.12:33

mdzso I would expect this problem to affect others as well17:03

seb128                               Conflicts: foomatic-db-hpijs which is a virtual package.17:05
tkamppetermdz, what should happen is that ubuntu-desktop gets replaced by the new version which depends on foomatic-db-compressed-ppds instead and the conflict would make foomatic-db uninstalled.17:05
mdztkamppeter, yes, I would expect that too17:06
seb128ubuntu-desktop depends on foomatic-db17:06
tkamppetersabdfl, susyem-config-printer usually prefers Avahi-based URIs.17:06
mdzseb128, ahh, well spotted17:07
mdzseb128, oh, no, that's the old version17:07
mdz1.204 depends on foomatic-db, 1.205 depends on foomatic-db-compressed-ppds17:07
seb128let me try to apt-get update17:07
seb128I did upgrade yesterday evening17:07
mdzso the correct solution is to remove foomatic-db, install foomatic-db-compressed-ppds, and upgrade ubuntu-desktop17:07
mdzbut apt decides to hold back ubuntu-desktop instead17:08
tkamppetersabdfl, which printer model do you ghave? Which is the dnssd-based URI and which the fixed-IP-based one?17:08
mvoprobably because of rdpends on foomatic-db17:08
mdzmvo, a test removal found no other reverse deps on my system17:08
mdzthere could be recommends or suggests but no other depends17:08
tkamppetermdz, mvo, do I perhaps need a versioned dependency somewhere?17:09
ScottKI think you need a transitional package.17:09
cjwatsonmy untested suspicion is that your conflicts are overly *strict*17:09
cjwatsonand that weakening to breaks might help17:09
cjwatsonit's a pain to test this kind of thing17:09
cjwatsonhaving to leave foomatic-db in the archive for other purposes probably doesn't help17:09

seb128ok so dunno17:15
cjwatson169.254.0.0/16 is avahi17:16
tkamppetersabdfl, which of the two is selected by default?17:16
SpamapSIt might make sense to filter out 169*'s with identical MAC addresses to routable IP's17:17
SpamapSJust means it got broadcasted while the printer was still negotiating an IP with the DHCP server most likely17:17
SpamapSor maybe the printer retains its' 169.254 address to allow communication with devices that don't receive an IP17:18
tkamppeterseb128, foo2zjs (20100728-0ubuntu1) recommends only foomatic-db-engine, not foomatic-db.17:18

cjwatsonas it happens I was going to work on that bug in collab-maint ;-)17:41
mvoenrico: oh, thanks. I'm probably too cautious17:43
neerajHi, I was creating patch using quilt and then I had make changes in various Makefile.am and configure.ac file. Now, the problem is that I can make all changes in these using quilt edit, but I am not sure how the autorunconf file will be called while applying patch.17:50

* neeraj got dc again. Not sure whether his query was answered or not.17:53
cjwatsonneeraj: run autoreconf inside 'quilt shell' (you might want to make a separate patch just for that, and remove junk like autom4te.cache before exiting the shell)17:54
Riddellogra_cmpc: thanks.  it's looking good17:55
ogra_cmpcRiddell, well, there is koffice still17:56
neerajcjwatson: ok thanks. Trying that.17:58

SpamapSwhen using bzr-buildpackage with 3.0 quilt format packages, is there a way for it to generate the "xxxver changes" patches and commit those on debcommit?18:13
SpamapSthat would be a pretty awesome feature actually. :)18:14
enricocjwatson: #595916 looks like a Xapian python API change (should ping ojwb)18:15

james_wdidrocks: just polishing and committing18:19
didrocksjames_w: great, thanks!18:19
james_wdidrocks: tip of bzr-builddeb should work for you now18:24
didrocksjames_w: grabbing it, should I set some PYTHONPATH and such?18:24
james_wdidrocks: you can use BZR_PLUGINS_AT to run it from an arbitrary directory18:24

cjwatsonsuperm1: huh, wasn't that the one that wouldn't boot?18:25
cjwatsonsuperm1: did you use noexec to work around it or something?18:26
superm1cjwatson, i've got both a 6410 and 6510 - noexec works on the 6510, not the 641018:26
cjwatsonsuperm1: right, I tried noexec on mine and it made no difference.  docking station is due to arrive in a couple of days, I think ...18:26
james_wdidrocks: there's a test failure, which isn't a good sign, but it's in a case completely unrelated to yours, so you should be ok for this one branch. I'll work on the failure after lunch.18:27
didrocksjames_w: worked wonderfully well, thanks :)18:27
superm1cjwatson, cool.  if you'd like me to do any other instrumentation with mine in the interim, i'll be glad to18:28

=== zyga is now known as zyga-afk
neerajfor running autogen.sh function using quilt, will $quilt shell aclocal, $quilt shell autoconf, $quilt shell automake --add-missing and quilt shell rm -rf autom4te.cache is sufficient?18:49
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
cjwatsonyou should use 'autoreconf -i' rather than running all those by hand18:50
cjwatsonand I'd recommend running 'quilt shell', running successive commands at the shell prompt it gives you, and then exiting that shell18:51
cjwatsonif there's already an autogen.sh in the package, use that rather than autoreconf18:51
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
neerajOk. there is not autogen.sh, should I add quilt shell autoreconf -i \18:56
neeraj> && rm -rf autom4te.cache18:56

cjwatsonpress enter18:56
cjwatsonrun the commands18:56
cjwatsontype exit, then press enter18:56
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
cjwatson(the above will include autom4te.cache in the patch because && is scoped wrongly)18:57
neerajcjwatson: ok :)19:00
SpamapShmm.. can dh_autoreconf run an autogen.sh ?19:00
SpamapSyes.. apparently it can19:01
SpamapSyou don't have to use quilt for autoreconf'ing it seems19:01
neerajhmm.. sorry for my ignorance  but can you please elaborate? Do i have to make changes in some file or run dh_autoreconf?19:08
juliankneeraj: Use dh_autoreconf as documented in dh-autoreconf(7)19:10
neerajok. in the quilt files, there alocal.m4. I guess I had to remove it?19:13
* neeraj don't want to redo all steps from scratch. Can he run quilt shell and add rm -rf ?19:13
neerajok. may be I don't..19:16

smoseri'm wondering the difference between 'optional' and 'nobootwait' to mountall.19:58
smoseri can't think of an expected difference between them if the device was not present at boot.19:58
smoseranyone know ?19:59
mneptokis it possible to use btrfs for /boot in Maverick (yet)?20:01
smoseri think is see the difference now. optional will still hold up boot.20:03

cr3is it more common for a project to have the directory doc/example (singular) or doc/examples (plural)?22:07
mdeslaurcr3: a quick non-scientific study of my /usr/share/doc directory says examples is more popular, 275 vs. 1222:11
cr3mdeslaur: I've also found section 12.6 in the debian policy manual: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html22:12
cr3mdeslaur: "Any examples (configurations, source files, whatever), should be installed in a directory /usr/share/doc/package/examples."22:12

achiangwhat is the proper way to update a package to a new upstream release when autotools are involved? (specifically, i'm looking at libx11)22:52
achiangi was thinking of: untar upstream.tar.gz, cp -a oldver/debian upstream/  and then see what happens from there...22:52
achiangoh, except after unpacking upstream.tar.gz, it won't have the autotools artifacts22:53

manjopenguin42, you man change it after the install ?23:49
penguin42manjo: No, during - on lucid and previous as you typed in the username on a fiield below it it filled in the hostname box and you could edit it23:49
