kmckinneyQuick question for anyone out there...02:26
kmckinneyI am attempting to compile a package that is looking for an older version of a dependency.02:26
kmckinneyThe package is looking for “hal 0.5.10”; however, I have “hal 0.5.14” installed on my system.02:26
kmckinneyCan someone provide me with some pointers on how to upgrade a dependency within a package?02:27
Riddellwhat's in the Build-Depends line in debian/control ?02:28
kmckinneyRiddell: checking now02:30
kmckinneyactually I am not sure where this information is located.. I did a grep on the source code and I do not see it02:32
kmckinneyRiddell: where should I look for this ?02:32
Riddellkmckinney: are you actually building a package or building an application's source code you've downloaded?02:33
kmckinneyI am building the source code for package gnome-device-manager02:34
kmckinneyI eventually want to upgrade this package from hal to udev and fix several bugs that have been reported02:34
kmckinneyalso - I am still a newbie to Ubuntu development..02:37
Riddellwell I'm not a gnome user but I thought gnome-device-manager was obsolete02:44
kmckinneyRiddell: it is obsolete but I am trying to bring it back to life.02:46
kmckinneyIf I can successfully upgrade the package to use udev instead of hal this will give it life again02:46
Riddell#ubuntu-app-devel for application development on Ubuntu02:47
kmckinneyRiddell: thanks02:47
jcastrokmckinney: ping someone in upstream GNOME02:47
jcastroI don't recall if that app is going to still be around or whatever02:48
jcastrobut porting it to udev should happen upstream anyway02:48
kmckinneyjcastro: who should I chat with about this?02:48
jcastrocheck out the gnome desktop devel list.02:48
kmckinneyok02:49
jcastrohttp://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list02:49
jcastrothat should get you started02:49
kmckinneyok02:49
kmckinneythanks02:49

nigelbpitti: did you get the torrent fixed?11:55
senseaquarius: The new version of python-vte that was uploaded to -proposed today fixes the $TERM not set issue.11:57
aquariussense, yay!12:01
senseindeed12:02
aquariusam way sick of typing export TERM=xterm into guake windows :)12:02
senseSo was I. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel not anymore!12:03
aquariusso it'll be srued?12:03
nigelb-proposed means it was srued right?12:03
senseaquarius: I'm not familiar with the SRU-process, all I know is that it is in maverick-proposed already.12:04
aquariussweet. that'll do me :)12:04
aquariusworst comes to worst I can alwys just yank the deb :)12:04
senseyeah12:05
aquariussense, am not seeing a new python-vte in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-proposed/12:10
sense *** 1:0.26.0-0ubuntu2 012:11
sense        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-proposed/main amd64 Packages12:11
senseThat's what I've got here.12:11
aquariusoh, it's in main. d'oh :)12:12
senseYes it is!12:12
aquariusinstalling :)12:13
aquariushrm, guake still complaining about TERM not being set :(12:14
senserestarted?12:15
aquariusya, killed guake and restarted it12:16
aquariusthat ought to be enough12:16
senseyeah12:16
senseThat is strange.12:16
aquariusalthough I only installed the new python-vte and not a new vte (because it doesn't seem to depend on a newer vte, so I assume it doesn't need it)12:16
senseaquarius: I think it does. The Python bindings work by calling the functions in the C library.12:17
senseSo you need the new library as well.12:17
aquariusah12:17
aquariusthen it probably ought to depend on the newer version :)12:17
senseWell, the Pyhton bindings work without the new C library, the bug just isn't fixed in that case.12:18
aquariusfair12:18
aquariusinstalling new libvte12:18
aquariusyay! fixed!12:19
aquariusyay!12:19
* aquarius does a little dance12:19
senseGreat!12:21
aquariusgood man. I never would have thought to check -proposed :)12:24
sense:)12:25
aquariushrm. libqt4-multimedia isn't in maverick. Who would know about that, I wonder?12:33

Riddellaquarius: probably not anyone on a gtk channel :)13:55
Riddellaquarius: upstream replaced it with libqtmultimediakit113:55
Riddellalthough anyone who cares will recommend still using phonon13:55
kenvandinepitti, uploaded13:58
aquariusRiddell, aha, cool, I'm glad you're around :) The reason I ask is that I have a lucid third-party package that depends on libqt-multimedia, which obviously won't install on mav since libqt-multimedia isn't there, and I wondered what I'd do to fix it :)14:22
Riddellaquarius: recompile it to use qtmultimediakit I suppose, the API is much the same14:23
aquariusRiddell, k, cheers. I have nudged the upstream people to do a 10.10 package (they have lucid in their ppa, but no mav ppa)14:24
RiddellI didn't know there were any actual qtmultimedia uses out there, it's a badly written and pointless module14:24
