RainCTuhm, if it's going to use inotify I guess it could as well look for the /usr/bin/zeitgeist-daemon file being replaced + watch the extensions directory00:04
kklimondaRainCT: yeah, sounds even better00:07

BlackZbilalakhtar: hi, I seen you uploaded a new release of a native Debian package (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/maverick-changes/2010-September/007640.html) but the Debian changelog of that new version of the package (http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/menu/menu_2.1.44/changelog) says: "* The "Bordeaux" release." so it's a new release. Did you get a FFe for it? (does Debian native packages require a FFe for new upstream releases?12:41
BlackZ), also, you didn't build that package with the option "-v" of debuild12:41
BlackZhmm.. sorry12:42
BlackZ.. for the double-lines :)12:42
bilalakhtarback12:44
bilalakhtarhey BlackZ !12:44
bilalakhtarno that is the release, but its dbeian-native12:45
bilalakhtar*debian12:45
bilalakhtarAND12:45
bilalakhtardebian-native packages12:45
BlackZbilalakhtar: so doesn't it require a FFe?12:45
bilalakhtarhaving the last part of their version incremented don't come under 'new upstream release'12:46
bilalakhtarBlackZ: no12:46
BlackZbilalakhtar: if it's a native Debian package there's not a "upstream" :)12:46
bilalakhtarBlackZ: see the last ubuntu changelog12:47
BlackZbilalakhtar: OK, in the future please don't forgot to debuild the packages with the "-v" options (e.g. when you're doing a merge), however this is a common mistake :)12:47
BlackZs/options/option12:48
bilalakhtarBlackZ: But the version is correct112:48
bilalakhtar!12:48
tumbleweedbilalakhtar: it adds the debian changelog entry to the changes file12:48
BlackZbilalakhtar: ^12:48
tumbleweed-vX = all changes since X12:48
bilalakhtar:)12:48
bilalakhtarI used this approach long ago, then gave up in favour of -i12:48
BlackZbilalakhtar: tumbleweed said what I was just typing, however as I said: "this is a common mistake"12:49
bilalakhtarThanks BlackZ and tumbleweed12:49
tumbleweedbilalakhtar: :)12:50
BlackZbilalakhtar: I was not sure if Debian native packages require a FFe for new releases and/or features12:50
bilalakhtarBlackZ: But I saw a few such uploads recently112:50
bilalakhtar!12:50
tumbleweedI think it's up to your judgement. Fixing important bugs without too much new stuff = no FFe.12:50
bilalakhtarwithout any FFe12:50
Laneyerr, I don't see why a package being native should change any freeze requirements12:50
Laneynew features = exception required, being a new upstream release has precisely no bearing on that12:51
BlackZLaney: is right12:51
bilalakhtarhehe, the diff between the 1.43 and 1.44 is also very litte12:51
bilalakhtar*little12:51
bilalakhtarsuggesting no major changes needint FFE12:51
bilalakhtarNo features12:51
bilalakhtarAll are PO changes and bug fixes12:51
LaneyThat's alright then, but you should worry about the contents of the diff and not about the version number.12:52
bilalakhtar'k12:53
BlackZLaney: the mine was a suggestion :P12:53
BlackZalmost I do so12:53
Laneytumbleweed: are you following up the darcs patch in Debian with a NMU?12:54
tumbleweedLaney: I filed a bug with an NMU diff, but I havn't gone sponsor-hunting.12:54
Laneytumbleweed: yeah I saw, you can mail debian-haskell@l.d.o and someone should pick it up12:55
BlackZbilalakhtar: it's OK then, I asked because I read "* The "Bordeaux" release." in the Debian changelog of the new version of that package :)12:55
tumbleweedLaney: ok, thanks12:55
bilalakhtarWe can go ahead with fixing bugs without any major roadblock (though the package will go into the queue) after Final Freeze?12:55
Laneythanks for that btw12:55
bilalakhtarThanks BlackZ !12:55
Laneyyes12:55
Laneyfinal freeze is nominal for universe for some time yet12:55
tumbleweedLaney: np, low hanging fruit ftw12:55
bilalakhtartumbleweed: Thank for your sponsorships! I hope you can rest in peace now :D13:01
bilalakhtarwho can rest in peace a day before final freeze :)13:02
bilalakhtarwell this is not a good approach, so trying to avoid13:02
tumbleweedbilalakhtar: the last week has been really quiet almost nothing on the sponsor queue. (and the qa.ubuntu.com is broken)13:03

bilalakhtartumbleweed: the leader of the team has assigned the work to himself13:04
bilalakhtaryesterday I asked him13:05
bilalakhtarhe said that he is willing to solve it13:05
tumbleweedcool13:05
bilalakhtarperhaps he is not leader, he is just a member13:05
bilalakhtarbut from the way he speaks13:05
bilalakhtar'My team ....'13:05

geserbilalakhtar, ari-tczew: if you find something interesting in the sponsors queue, feel free to sponsor it. You don't need to be a member of ubuntu-sponsors for it. The only drawback is that you can't unsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors from bugs that aren't ready yet.15:36

martosshey folks, I have a debhelper question concerning python packages. I wanna fix a package and found that an additional "setup.py build clib" is needed. How do I put this in the rules file?18:25
tumbleweedbilalakhtar: I'm not responsible for any of those tools (yet) :P (I just use and tweak them)18:26
martossdo I have to add this to "build-arch:" ?18:26
tumbleweedmartoss: which package is this?18:27
martossnumpy 1.4.118:27
martosswithout this, libnpymath.a isn't build which then does not allow building scipy 0.8.018:28
bilalakhtarmartoss: Are you using the old (pre 7) style of debhelper rules?18:29
bilalakhtarIOW compat?18:29
tumbleweedbilalakhtar: it's a dh7 package18:29
martossuhm, good question...18:29
bilalakhtartumbleweed: ah okay18:30
martossin the control it says debhelper > 718:30
martoss>= of course18:30
bilalakhtarmartoss: compat level?18:30
martossin the compat file there's a 718:31

bilalakhtar%:18:31
martossyep18:31
bilalakhtar            dh $@18:31
bilalakhtarhmm18:31
tumbleweedmartoss: in this case, you'd override dh_auto_build18:31
bilalakhtarmartoss: then set up a rule called override_dh_auto_build and do stuff there18:31
tumbleweedmartoss: talk to the numpy debian maintainers (#debian-python on OFTC is a good start)18:31
bilalakhtartumbleweed: :)18:32

tumbleweedfix the conflicts, and then tell bzr you've fixed them, as james_w said20:53
ari-tczewtumbleweed: ping for syncpackage example :-)20:53
* tumbleweed doesn't use syncpackage itself much (only used it once or twice), but I use ack-sync regularly, which uses syncpackage20:53
ari-tczewaha20:54
LaneyIMHO that script should do the normal way by default and only use syncpackage with a flag20:58
tumbleweedLaney: yeah, I've been considering patching it to do that (seeing as syncs seem to be being processed quickly)21:01
Laneyyes21:01
Laneyand even if it takes a few days, it's rare for them to be urgent21:01
tumbleweedpersonally, I don't see what the big issue over syncpackage is, but people do seem concerned about it.21:02
Laneyit introduces more chances for error21:02
Laneyif Launchpad gets a proper syncing API then fine, but as long as the source has to travel through your computer then the archive→archive way is preferred21:03
tumbleweedLaney: it only writes the changes file, right?21:03
Laneywho knows ;)21:04
ari-tczewplease forgive me my n00b level, I'm just learning to sponsorship.21:05
Laneythe more machines the source travels through the more chance for something to go wrong21:05
ari-tczewalso, I want merging through bzr - including sponsoring merges21:06
tumbleweedLaney: ok, when not fakesysncing, it only writes a changes file. That means there's pretty good protection from mistakes (the sha hashes in the dsc)21:06
