lfaraoneI'm trying to check my packages with piuparts, and I'm using a local mirror. When I run it with "--dist maverick", it dies after setting up the chroot with "  E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes" and reports of unauthenticated packages.02:22
lfaraoneDo I need to add a hook somewhere?02:22
lfaraoneNevermind, I created a pbuilder chroot and used that as the base and it worked.02:34
lfaraone:q!02:36
ScottKlfaraone: Wrong window I think.02:37
nigelbhaha02:38
lfaraoneScottK: heh, yeah, oops02:38
lfaraoneScottK: got it, turtleart 98-1 will be dinstalled in a few hours. Per http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/turtleart/repos/mainline/blobs/master/NEWS , the jump from 96 to 98 was a bugfix-only release.03:53
lfaraoneScottK: do I now need to file a new sync request?03:53
ScottKlfaraone: yes.03:53
ScottKDoesn't need an FFe since it's bugfix only.03:54
lfaraoneScottK: bug 637735 is the magic number.03:56

directhexso if i upload an urgent bugfix to monodevelop, does that get into the archive or sit in a queue?18:36
nigelbdirecthex: depends on how invasive it is :)18:41
nigelbbut generally bug fix anytime is welcome except during freezes18:41
macowell during final freeze if its release critical, of course its welcome18:42
Laneyso to answer the question18:43

Laneydirecthex: errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr18:47
bilalakhtarLaney: You helped me with a few changes :)18:47
Laneydirecthex: we might want those changes i guess18:47
LaneyI really don't understand why that X509 one is important, but meebey says so18:47
directhexLaney, my sentiment is i dare a lot less about mono -3 than MD -318:48
directhexcare18:48
Laneysebner likes merging mono18:48
directhexhe does! he's a mono merging machine!"18:49

directhexsebner, really glad i got to the bottom of the monodevelop-debugger-mdb problem \o/18:54
sebnerdirecthex: what was it?18:54
directhexsebner, -keycontainer doesn't work, produces random keys. hence mismatched assembly key between compilation of MD and compilation of monodevelop-debugger-*18:55

philsf_Hi, I'd like to create packages for my in-house scripts, not for publishing or uploading. I don't need to conform to strict policies, just want to be able to install, remove and upgrade easilly a set of perl classes. What's the least effort guide available?19:10
philsf_I started looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide and there are instructions specific for python and ruby, but not perl. Is perl simpler than those other languages?19:11
ari-tczewwho can approve user to ubuntu-sponsors? only dholbach?19:26
LaserJockmultiverse question, is there any decent way to effectively remove a package from the archives?19:33
sebnerdirecthex: btw, shouldn't MD 2.4 be in master trunk now that we upload to unstable instead of master-exp? Just noticed my vcs-location change isn't there19:33
sebnerLaserJock: I guess it's the same with normal universe removal?! Just file a removal bug19:34
sebnerari-tczew: I think persia can too19:34
directhexsebner, yes, it should. i plan on doing a mass master-exp->master as soon as i suck less and stop hiding from git19:34
BlackZLaserJock: don't forgot to subscribe "ubuntu-archive" to the bug19:34
sebnerdirecthex: heh, kk. I was just wondering =)19:35
LaserJocksebner: but will that be effective throughout the entire archive? all releases19:35
LaserJockI remember it being policy to not remove packages from stable releases19:36
sebnerLaserJock: nope, just the current devel version19:36
LaserJockright, I need a complete removal19:36
LaserJockI wondered if uploading empty packages as SRUs would be a decent idea19:36
sebnerLaserJock: wow, license/copyright issue?19:37
sebnerdirecthex: I think testbuild is at 30% \o/19:37
directhexsebner needs moar mhz19:37
sebnerdirecthex: ah, nonsense. It should be finished in a few minutes, xD19:37
LaserJocksebner: no quite that bad, the software currently breaks any upgrades and is hence a PR nightmare for the company involved19:38
LaserJocksebner: so they requested a removal19:38
sebnerurgh19:38
LaserJocknot package-to-package upgrades, system upgrades fail and you end up with a very broken system19:39
* LaserJock mumbles something about the wonderful joys of Multiverse packaging ;-)19:39
sebnerxD19:39
sebnerLaserJock: wondering if I'm using it .. about what we are talking about?19:40
LaserJockdoubt it, you'd know19:40
LaserJockuserful-multiplier/desktop-multiplier19:40
sebnerLaserJock: how come this breaks systems?19:41
BlackZsebner: you're reading in my mind, that's what I was just asking :)19:42
sebnerBlackZ: :) , do you know it? I've never heard of it before19:42
BlackZ+wanted19:43
BlackZsebner: no19:43
LaserJocksebner: well, it essentially replaces Xorg and it apparently does some funky stuff after installs19:44
sebneromg19:44
LaserJocksebner: I did the original packaging in 2006 and it was a fairly nasty mess at the time19:44
sebner__Now__ I understand your desire to remove it19:44
LaserJockbut apparently things start shifting in terms of versions they're building for and what we have19:45
LaserJockand so overall it's just kind of a mess19:45
LaserJockand people are reporting brokens systems19:45
LaserJockso it'd be nice to get rid of it if we can19:45
BlackZ<LaserJock> and people are reporting brokens systems <- do you have any bug report that describes that problem?19:46
LaserJockBlackZ: bug #363313 for instance19:46
ubottuLaunchpad bug 363313 in userful-multiplier (Ubuntu) "error on install/upgrade: (EE) Not supported linux system" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/36331319:46
BlackZLaserJock: Debian is affected by this bug as well?19:49
LaserJockheh19:49
LaserJockDebian wouldn't touch that package in a million years ;-)19:49
BlackZLaserJock: so, did you ask its removal from Debian too?19:50
* maco hugs LaserJock19:50
BlackZLaserJock: or is it already removed from Debian?19:50
macoLaserJock: havent seen you on irc in a LONG time19:50
LaserJockBlackZ: it's not *in* Debian19:50
BlackZLaserJock: but in the past it was, right?19:50
LaserJockBlackZ: no19:50
LaserJockmaco: yeah, it's been a while :-)19:50
sebnerBlackZ: Evidently Debian was not foolish enough, unlike us, to accept it into the archive xD19:51
LaserJockwell, it was an experiment19:52
LaserJock:-)19:52
BlackZLaserJock: ah, it's just in Ubuntu, then: 1. why isn't "Ubuntu Developers" set as maintainer of the package? 2. why is there an "Uploaders" field in the debian/control file?19:52
LaserJockBlackZ: 1) because I wrote the packaging before Ubuntu Developers existed and 2)to allow for the company to have some sort of address19:53
LaserJockmaco: still in DC?19:54
kklimondais anyone familiar with debian oriented packaging online? I have a test suite that depends on en_US.utf8 locales being set, in Ubuntu we have language-pack-en-base that we can build-depend on to get locales generated before build. Is there something similar in Debian I could use?19:54
macoLaserJock: yep, for now19:54
macoLaserJock: last semester! done in dec! *happy dance*19:54
LaserJockmaco: awesome19:54
BlackZLaserJock: yes, it's an old package; however, "2)to allow for the company to have some sort of address" you can use the debian/control file for that as well as the debian/copyright file :)19:55
Rhondakklimonda: locales-all19:55
LaserJockmaco: after that? grad school? job?19:56
LaserJockBlackZ: sure, it's there too, we wanted something in the .dsc if possible19:56
macoLaserJock: not grad school. i spent too much time ubuntuing and not enough studying to have the sort of gpa that gets one into grad school19:56
LaserJockheh19:56
LaserJockI can relate to that19:56
BlackZLaserJock: I assume you don't update it from long time :)19:56
BlackZs/from/since19:57
LaserJockno, not much19:57
Rhondakklimonda: And in general, #debian-ubuntu on OFTC network might get you better answers. :)19:57
LaserJockI've done some SRUs19:57
LaserJockbut haven't done much since19:57
kklimondaRhonda: oh, right - I've completely forgotten about this one :)19:57
kklimondaRhonda: can I build-depend on locales-all in Ubuntu? it's virtual package here19:57
BlackZLaserJock: however, thanks for filing a removal request for it :)19:57
Rhondakklimonda: You might want to chose locales-all | language-pack-en-base?19:58
Rhondakklimonda: Tnoug, not sure wether that would work out as expected.19:58
Rhondathough.19:58
RhondaStrange typing through the lag of full network bandwidth.19:58
BlackZLaserJock: if that package does what you said then we should really remove it from our official repository19:58
kklimondaRhonda: good idea, I'll see if that works as soon as I manage to create a pbuilder chroot with debian unstable :)19:59
BlackZs/repository/repositories19:59
Rhondakklimonda: If it fails, create one for squeeze, change sources.list and do an --upgrade.19:59

ubottuLaunchpad bug 602896 in procps (Ubuntu) "Fails to update in pbuilder: start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/60289622:24
nigelbAnnouncement to all: we'd like to see sugestions on what would be interesting for a packaging training session.  Since james_w is going to be taking it, sky's the limit :p22:52
james_wheh22:52
Laney"how to update the kernel"23:01
kklimondajames_w: I'd love to hear something new about UDD but that's probably outside of the training's scope23:02
james_wkklimonda: well, I can explain how to do various things using UDD23:02
=== isaac is now known as Intrusion
kklimondajames_w: for example why some branches have patches applied and others don't - is it related to source format?23:03
nigelbLaney: topic selection at james_w's discretion23:03
Laney:P23:04
* Laney was trolling a touch23:04
nigelbkklimonda: I don't think its outside the scope23:04
james_wkklimonda: it is, yes23:04
kklimondajames_w: oh, I know - a good technical Q&A session about UDD would be great.. if we manage to get enough questions.23:05
kklimondafor example how to deal with merging upstream tarballs when they modify a file that is already patched by quilt..23:06
* kklimonda had this problem two days ago and managed to get it working but not without some guesswork23:07
james_wkklimonda: maybe you could explain how to do that to me :-)23:08
nigelbheh23:09
kklimondajames_w: in my case the upstream changes didn't break patch so all I had to do was.. well, quilt complained that patch doesn't unapply cleanly.. so what I've done was.. I have no idea, that's why I called it a guesswork :)23:11
kklimondaI can take a look if you are interested23:12
james_wheh23:12
james_wI'm not sure I've ever done it myself23:12
nigelbkklimonda: I guess you modified the quilt patch23:12
nigelbI think I did it once23:12
kklimondanigelb: yeah, that may be it23:13
RainCTIs there some (good) way to call a method in the User D-Bus from within postinst?23:38
=== emma_ is now known as emma
kklimondaRainCT: ugh, insanity this way lies ;)23:45
RainCTkklimonda: Heh. Yeah. The problem I have is, I'd be good to restart Zeitgeist after a) an upgrade, or b) another package installing an extension for it, otherwise stuff depending on the new version/extension will fail until it is restarted23:48
debfxtumbleweed: do you have time to sponsor another virtualbox merge? bug #63732023:48
ubottuLaunchpad bug 637320 in virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu) "Merge virtualbox-ose 3.2.8-dfsg-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/63732023:48
kklimondaRainCT: so it's Firefox 2.0?23:48
RainCTlol23:48
kklimondaRainCT: maybe do something like that: make Zeitgeist look for /var/run/restart-required/zeitgeist (or whatever the real path is) and restart in case the file got updated.23:49
kklimondaRainCT: but that's something that should be done upstream..23:50
RainCTkklimonda: Yeah, that's probably the best option unless someone has a magical alternative.23:52
RainCTkklimonda: How would Zeitgeist delete that file though, if it's running with user privileges?23:58
RainCT:/23:58
kklimondaRainCT: it could store a ctime/mtime somewhere and compare it23:59
