micahgdholbach: and good morning BTW :)08:42

dholbachari-tczew, I'm on it - take it easy08:42
ari-tczewdholbach: ok :)08:43
dholbachif anyone would have tried to run the script locally the bug would've been obvious08:43
ari-tczewwhy this cycle will be released faster than previous releases? (10th, not 29th)08:45
dholbachari-tczew, because 101010 (base 2) is 4208:46
ari-tczewdholbach: ?08:47

ari-tczewthanks dholbach :)08:58
micahgdholbach: thanks08:58
ari-tczewdholbach: curiosity question: you removed ubuntu-universe-sponsors, why not ubuntu-main-sponsors?08:59
ari-tczewdholbach: btw you should set as merged https://code.launchpad.net/~stefanor/ubuntu-sponsoring/no-more-universe-sponsors/+merge/3735609:00
dholbachari-tczew, I dunno why u-m-s still exists09:01
dholbachari-tczew, I didn't check my mail yet and didn't see the merge proposal09:01
dholbachari-tczew, within seconds after I joined IRC you jumped on me with the request to fix it09:01
dholbachand I had a few other complications here, etc - I'll dive into mails now09:02
ari-tczewdholbach: ah :) what do you think about add branch info to bottom page like on http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/main.html09:02
ari-tczewUpdated: 2010-10-04 05:14 UTC (commit 3048)09:02
ari-tczewand there is a link to source code09:03
dholbachari-tczew, please file a bug or even better, attach a pat ch09:03
dholbachI won't have time for it in the next weeks09:03
ari-tczewunderstand09:03
ari-tczewdholbach: curiosity question: why did you merge main&universe sponsors to ubuntu-sponsors?09:18
dholbachari-tczew, because of archive reorganisation09:20
dholbachari-tczew, theoretically (because of all the packagesets, etc.) we would have to have 4292469426 individiual sponsoring teams for all kinds of packagesets/components - that doesn't make sense09:21
dholbachalso does it make the process for the 'end user' a lot more complicated… having to remember which team to use for which purpose - it's not really obvious anyway09:21
dholbachalso was it done for ubuntu-sru and ubuntu-release09:21
ari-tczewdholbach: with bdrung we want to create a policy about contributing MOTU to main sponsoring.09:23
dholbachari-tczew, I'm not sure I understand09:24
micahgari-tczew: not just MOTU, any -dev in theory09:24
micahgdholbach: I think ari-tczew is referring to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-September/031519.html09:26
ari-tczewdholbach: what is different between core-dev and motu? upload access. but as micahg said, -dev (MOTU including) developers can review subscribed bugs - e.g. check patch for correct policy, suggest changes and add a tag 'reviewed-by-motu' or something. then core-dev can check which bug is closer to sponsor.09:27
dholbachah ok, I see09:27
dholbachit'd be good to update the sponsoring overview to indicate that a motu already reviewed it09:27
ari-tczewmicahg: exactly.09:28
micahgdholbach: well, it already notes if a dev w/out uploads rights commented last09:28
dholbachyes09:28
micahgbut I guess that's not really enough09:28
ari-tczewdholbach: your feedback is welcome @ these mail lists :)09:29

Rhondauhm10:30
RhondaCan someone check what a removal of boost1.40 from maverick might affect?10:30
RhondaOr … is there an easy way for myself to check that?10:30
* Rhonda . o O ( Rhonda: You usually brag around using grep-dctrl, why don't you do it this time? )10:30
Rhondadammit10:34
RhondaAnd no, that's no !omg. That's a package name that depends on libboost-filesystem1.40.0 in maverick. %-)10:34
RhondaI guess it's definitely too late in the release to request removal of boost1.40 and request rebuilds against boost1.42 for all those packages that currently use boost1.40?10:40
RhondaScottK? cjwatson?10:41
pwuertzhi, I'm trying to debianize an application by using this dh_make tool. When I run debuild the process stops when trying to install the files.. as the install process tries to modify files on my actual root system.10:45
pwuertzIsn't fakeroot supposed to prevent that? How can I fix this?10:46
tumbleweedpwuertz: firstly #ubuntu-packaging is the right channel for this. second: fakeroot just pretends to be root, doesn't let you write all over the filesystem. Your buildsystem clearly isn't respecting DESTDIR http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html10:48
cjwatsonRhonda: sounds implausible that we could get that all done in time11:01
cjwatsonRhonda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/505637/ is what the archive admin tool for this says11:02
cjwatsonok, some of those will be dependencies within the source package, but still ...11:02
RhondaI only now noticed (because it's also in lenny-backports), but yeah, too late.11:08
RhondaShould be first thing to do in nutty me thinks. :)11:08

ScottKRhonda: Keeping Boost 1.40 is intentional.  Since we don't want openmpi in Main, the Boost in Main has the MPI bits removed.  There was user demand for that, so we decided to keep an older Boost in Universe with those bits all present.13:25
ScottKMoving as much as we can to 1.42 would still be good though.13:27
ScottKcjwatson: ^^^ FYI.13:27
RhondaSo will it be kept around for natty, too?13:31

ari-tczeware there any list who from ubuntu-dev is Debian Developer?15:44
geserari-tczew: http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/977240439/developers-with-feet-in-debian-and-ubuntu15:53
ari-tczewgeser: would be nice to create a team on Launchpad and adding there these people.15:56
ari-tczewjcastro: what do you think about it? ^^16:01
jcastrothe plan was adding a query to UDD iirc16:05
jcastrobecause there's no team for DDs in launchpad afaik16:05
cjwatsonI recommend against creating one too.  It would be a hideous pain to keep up to date.  Teams should actually be used for something, not just be an artifice for gathering statistics16:13
directhexi'm a DD, if that counts16:14
cjwatsonyou're listed in Jorge's post which geser linked to above16:14
jcastroit's a simple UDD query, I just haven't followed up with lucas on it.16:14
cjwatsonhuh, there actually is a 'debiandevelopers' team.  And indeed it's hopelessly out of date ...16:15
jcastroari-tczew: the only recent change I am aware of is the addition of lfaraone16:15
jcastroI believe UDD gets the info right from the debian ldap so it's likely the most accurate16:16
jcastroI'd like to have a graph that tracks it over time, would be interesting to see16:16
* Laney is a directhex developer16:19
nigelbcjwatson: perhaps a script that updates the team with the results of udd query?16:23
Laneywhat is the point of the team?16:23
jcastroyeah, leave it in udd, it's what it's there for16:24
cjwatsonnigelb: experience suggests that people get upset with being non-consensually added to teams when they don't even want to use Launchpad16:24
nigelbcjwatson: oh, I forget that.  Indeed.16:24
cjwatsonthey got upset enough at having userids automatically created (in order that LP could accurately represent their uploads and such)16:25
kklimondahmm, am I the only one who gets some mails from ubuntu mailing lists with a long delay?16:25
kklimondaor do they just end up in a moderation queue?16:26
cjwatsonsome Ubuntu lists are moderated16:26
cjwatsonperhaps you're referring to ubuntu-devel, where I just did a moderation pass16:26
kklimonda:)16:26
kklimondaindeed16:26
kklimondacjwatson: I was under the impression that all mails from @ubuntu.com adress are sent immediately and bypass the queue?16:27
Laneyis the point of the moderation spam reduction, content moderation, or both?16:27
cjwatsonkklimonda: a mistaken impression16:27
cjwatsonLaney: both.  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-December/000227.html16:28
ari-tczewcjwatson, Laney: hmm, not really statistic point. if someone want forward changes to package in Debian, which is QA, then could look to LP team who can upload the patch16:28
cjwatsonari-tczew: I think the point that it is pretty much guaranteed to annoy people is more important16:28
ari-tczewcjwatson: like last time, I asked you for forward changes to palo.16:28
Laneyari-tczew: we have #debian-ubuntu and derivatives@d.o for something like that16:28
cjwatson(even if you don't think they should be annoyed)16:29

fabrice_spHi. I'm working with enna upstream, to get it fixed in Maverick, but this would require to sync 4 packages from Debian (some have just been uploaded and others are being uploaded to debian). What would be the right place to speak about feasibility?20:37

ari-tczewfabrice_sp: sync to main or universe?20:42
micahgfabrice_sp: you might want to ask in -release20:42
fabrice_spari-tczew, universe20:43
fabrice_spmicahg, ok.20:43
ari-tczewfabrice_sp: then shouldn't be problem20:43
fabrice_spanyway, I've just seen a email saying that hte release has not been tested, so I would refrain from requesting the sync20:44
fabrice_spbut we won't have an enna package20:44
ari-tczewfabrice_sp: ah, so this is a sync of new package?20:46
ari-tczewfabrice_sp: I would upload a new package (from revu, not from Debian) and I must wait for natty, then upload through backport to maverick.20:47
fabrice_spari-tczew, 3 libs upgrade, 2 of which changes API and the binary20:48
fabrice_spThe sync will happen in Natty, and I will rpopose the backport to upstream, after some testing happens20:48
micahgfabrice_sp: you know enna is in the archive, right?20:52
fabrice_spmicahg, yes. I'm trying to get it fixed, but it seems a bit late20:55
fabrice_spit's not even installable right now20:55
micahgfabrice_sp: k, yeah, I'd check with the release team20:55
fabrice_spok. Thanks20:56
ajmitchhow many packages would need to be rebuilt for it?20:56
fabrice_spnone20:56
fabrice_spthe libs are only used in enna20:56

ari-tczewwhat is the different between FTBFS and NBS?21:06
micahgari-tczew: NBS, is a binary that's no longer buildable from source21:07
RhondaFTBFS means that the source doesn't build anymore, usually because of missing Build-Depends or toolchain changes.21:07
RhondaAnd NBS is an old binary package that got removed in newer versions of the source package still sitting in the pool, all by itself, alone, crying and nowhere to turn to.21:08
fabrice_spalso, NBS indicates rdepends that has not been rebuilt21:08
ari-tczewaha21:11
Rhondaahyes.21:12
Rhondaari-tczew: Do you know what bilalakhtar might have meant with the offensive words message, to ask me about it? Because I can't remember. :)21:13

ari-tczewfabrice_sp: we will start natty with less to-merge packages than maverick started21:25
fabrice_spnot for me: I uploaded a lot of packages lately that I will have to check (sync or merge) for NAtty21:26
fabrice_spbasically, to fix FTBFS or non installable packages21:26
ari-tczewsigh21:31
ScottKari-tczew: Not suprising.  Since Debian is frozen now, the pace of uploads to Debian will be reduced.21:34
ari-tczewScottK: when Debian will be open?21:35
