nigelbThey claim mozilla license, but I could use some help reviewing the license to confirm compatibility with universe.07:20
nigelbMy interest: One of the rare IDE's that actually is good.07:20
persiaDo you have a link to the license?07:21
* nigelb looks07:22

persiaOh, that just links to upstream licenses.  All of those ought be fine.  The issue that some folk have with firefox has to do with the trademark license, not the source license.07:24

nigelbmicahg: sigh.  I should learn to search07:24
micahgnigelb: you're still good to package it as no one appears to be working on it07:25
nigelbI should try helping out in Debian then.07:25
micahgnigelb: you might want to convert to RFP to an ITP and take ownership (I think)07:25
persiaIt's an RFP: just convert to an ITP, and have at it :)07:25
nigelbok, as of now I don't remember how.  Let me look at the new maintainer's guide :)07:26
persiaIf you have questions about getting stuff into Debian (process), #debian-mentors@OFTC is also a good resource07:26

fabrice_sptumbleweed, very usefull, yes :-) So it looks good? The package builds fine in sid and maverick, so I think I'll upload it08:03
persiaUm, does it also *work*  Just building isn't enough.08:03
* persia uploaded something a few hours ago where the person uploading it had obviously not even installed it locally to check if it was correct08:03
persia(although, admittedly, it depends on the goal: if a package both fails to run and fails to build, and you can make it build, but not run, it's worth uploading that anyway, but it's not worth doing so if the package previously ran)08:05
tumbleweedfabrice_sp: yeah, I think it looks good08:08
tumbleweedpersia: the issue was only in testing08:08
tumbleweedpersia: unit tests I mean08:08
persiaSure, but let's look at a recent example of things.08:08
* persia digs up the relevant bug08:09
fabrice_sppersia, I just desactivated unit test  in previous upload, and now, I found a way to run them again. The package without unit test was working fine08:09
fabrice_spand the content is identical08:09
persiabug #625798 was discovered about two cycles late, because prior uploaders had decided to just change the tests.08:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 625798 in Tickcount "Don't use int constants with a long data type." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/62579808:10
persiaIf the tests are failing, it's typically not the tests you want to change, unless you are *really* sure that you're still testing the behaviour you want to be testing.08:10
fabrice_spinteresting08:11
fabrice_spin my case, the test was failling ot find the python script to run because of wrong path used08:11
fabrice_spso it's easier :-) (I will fix the path in this second upload)08:12
fabrice_spfor some background: Debin Bug 59271408:13

persiaIn that case, it sounds like someone changed the expected behaviour, and didn't update the test, so patching the test would be correct, which means "it works" as well as building, meaning the answer to my original question is "of course"08:13

persiaAnd sorry for jumping on this: I'm just a bit sensitive because of the issue I hit earlier today, so took advantage of you to make a point, in part.08:14
tumbleweedpersia: in this case the bug was that debian has python 2.5 and 2.608:14
micahgwow, this is the smallest list of FTBFS that I've ever seen08:14
persiaporters need more help.08:14
tumbleweedthe tests were wrong in debian, but worked08:14
persiaThere's something sadly wrong with libvirt/powerpc (and upstream doesn't even try to make powerpc work anymore), and huge chunks of interpreters aren't ported to arm, and ...08:15

ari-tczewtumbleweed: do you know any script to move patch to dpatch file?16:18
ScottKari-tczew: Are you thinking of dpatch-edit-patch perhaps?16:21
ari-tczewScottK: hmmm, not sure. I wrote this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/496526/16:32
ScottKari-tczew: That's slightly different than dpatch-edit-patch.  With dpatch-edit-patch you would run it, be in a new subshell, apply your patch (or edit files as needed), and then exit and it would take all the changes and make a dpatch out of it.16:34
ari-tczewScottK: aha, but what do you think about my script? It converts done patch file to dpatch.16:38
ScottKI think it might be useful.16:39
ari-tczewScottK: it needs some tweaks and then I would get it into ubuntu-dev-tools.16:40
ScottKOK.16:41

ari-tczewwhen we can upload a package in natty? after toolchain?17:12
geserusually 1-2 weeks after release the archive for the next release opens17:18
bdrung_cjwatson: should lp-list-bugs be installed? then you have to add it to setup.py.17:20
geserit would be nice to see a u-d-t upload before maverick release, at least with the change of the defaults for natty if the other changes are too big to get included into maverick17:22
* geser probably won't have time for it17:22
bdrung_geser: i already talked to DktrKranz. he will hopefully upload it to experimental (after i finished my changes)17:50
geserbdrung_: and then sync back to Ubuntu?17:51
bdrung_geser: yes17:51
geserhmm, it looks a bit strange to upload an Ubuntu-specific package to Debian first to get it into the Ubuntu archive17:53
bdrung_geser: there are tools that are useful for Debian, too. e.g. suspicious-source, wrap-and-sort, ...17:54
geserbdrung_: I'm not saying that u-d-t shouldn't be in Debian. But the order of the uploads looks strange: instead of uploading u-d-t to Ubuntu first and then "sync" it to Debian, we are doing it the other way round. That's all.17:57
bdrung_geser: there is no way for Ubuntu -> Debian regarding version number.17:59

ScottKI didn't upload the broken package, you did.21:13
bdrung_ScottK: i feel responsible for this package. every day i get two message that the daily build fails on maverick. the problem is that it's not audacity's direct fault that it fails. it could be gcc or autotools.21:16
ScottKOK.  I gave you a suggestion on how to work around it and it sounds to me like you think it's now my job to fix it.  I have to go.21:17
bdrung_ScottK: the FTBFS wasn't caused by my change (from -4 to -5)21:18
tumbleweedoh, this is the missing #include issue. Our gcc-4.4 has that patch too (as well as 4.5)21:18
ScottKThat's not particularly relevant.21:18
ScottKBye.21:18
bdrung_ScottK: that's is a misunderstanding. it's not your job to fix it, but I thought that you might have the time and skills to fix it.21:20
