[09:06] <JamesPage> doko:  ttx mentioned to me that there was a situation developing in Debian re ant - can you fill me in on the details?
[09:15] <ttx> I thought it was about adopting the ant1.7 and ant (1.8) debian packages, but we seem to already have them
[09:15]  * ttx is a bit confused as well
[09:19] <JamesPage> ttx: we do - lucid has 1.7 and maverick has 1.8
[09:21] <ttx> JamesPage: maverick also has "ant1.7" that is bound to 1.7
[09:21] <ttx> for packages incompatible with ant 1.8
[09:21] <persia> I suspect the "situation developing" was that some software suddenly didn't work with 1.8, and needed to be switched to build with ant1.7
[09:22] <persia> I suspect it to be mostly "developed" at this point, but there may still be things needing modification.
[09:23] <ttx> persia: doko wanted us to handle something when Natty opens
[09:23] <ttx> so I think he had something specific in mind
[10:35] <doko> JamesPage, ttx: we still have ant1.8 in the archive, which should be removed, I see that the default is already 1.8, so maybe I wasn't awake when telling you about getting it fixed early for natty
[10:36] <ttx> ack
[10:41] <JamesPage> doko: ok - will ant1.8 be removed for maverick or natty?
[10:51] <doko> JamesPage: yes, if you take care of it ;p
[10:51] <doko> file a bug report and subscribe ubuntu-archive
[10:52] <doko> if we don't have any b-d's or b's on ant1.8 we could do it even now
[10:59] <JamesPage> No b-d's or b's on ant1.8 in either lucid or maverick - I'll file a bug report now :-)
[11:00] <JamesPage> doko: should this be removed for just maverick as its now the default ant option?
[11:04] <doko> JamesPage: yes, I introduced ant1.8 late in lucid to get a recernt ant without changing the default. debian did decide to update to 1.8 and provide an ant1.7, but that was too late for lucid
[11:04] <JamesPage> doko: OK understand - just read the bug report associated with the lucid FFE
[11:09] <JamesPage> doko, ttx: raised under bug 645063
[11:09] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 645063 in ant1.8 (Ubuntu) "Please remove ant1.8 from maverick archive (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/645063
