RhondaHmm. Shall I upload my built packages for Bug #656850 somewhere? I mean, it's not like it's rocket science, there are no source changes involved at all?07:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 656850 in lucid-backports "Please backport wesnoth-1.8 (1:1.8.5-1/universe)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65685007:43
RhondaPotential to a PPA? Never used PPA before, and I guess I'll have to version it differently there, too?07:43
wgrantRhonda: I'd tend to reversion it to 1:1.8.5-1~ppa1 and upload to a PPA.07:48
wgrantHm, but if it's for backports, ~karmic1~ppa1 and ~lucid1~ppa1 may be better.07:48
wgrantSo the official backports will clobber them.07:48
Rhondanot rather... yes, that's my thought. ;)07:49

RhondaHmm, never have done an SRU …11:15
RhondaAnyone got a hint how to turn bug #656238 into a SRU?11:16
ubottuLaunchpad bug 656238 in gitolite (Ubuntu) "Sync gitolite 1.5.4-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65623811:16
geserRhonda: extract the change for the mkdir call and apply it to the version in maverick (the translation changes probably won't qualify for SRU)11:17
persia!sru11:18
ubottuStable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates11:18
Rhondageser: Feared something like that. ;)11:18
Rhondapersia: Am on that page right now, yes. :)11:19
persiaJust wanted to make sure :)11:19
RhondaI'll have to wait for gitolite to get synced into natty first it seems anyway.11:20
Rhondabtw., my latest blog post will apply to natty, too11:21
* Rhonda . o O ( the one about sudo )11:22
geserRhonda: usually this requirement is waived that short after release to not block until natty it fully opened11:22
persiaThe requirement is *always* so waived: a full copy of maverick-updates -> natty will be some of the first uploads11:24
persia(although I forget if it's actually on the release open checklist)11:24
sorenRhonda: That has been the default sudo behaviour for Ubuntu for years.11:50
sorenRhonda: so yes, it does apply, but it shouldn't be a surprise to existing Ubuntu users.11:51
Rhondasoren: Hmm, I only find it mentioned in the changelog, not within the rest of the diff?11:55
sorenRhonda: Eh?11:57
Rhondasoren: http://patches.ubuntu.com/s/sudo/sudo_1.7.2p7-1ubuntu2.patch11:58
RhondaThat mentions tty_ticket only in the changelog.11:58
RhondaI would have expected it to be part of a different file, too11:58
sorenRhonda: I don't follow the logic here, sorry. It only mentions it in the changelog => the code changes must already be applied, right?12:00
sorenBesides:12:00
soren  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:12:00
soren   - debian/rules: Disable lecture, enable tty_tickets by default. (Ubuntu12:00
soren     specific)12:00
sorenFrom 1.7.0-1ubuntu1 (sudo in karmic).12:00
sorenI'm /fairly/ certain it's been this way forever.12:01
Rhondasoren: Yes, in the changelog. But nowhere else in the diff?12:01
soren*precisely*12:01
RhondaThe changelog is just a textfile. It has to be in some other place within the diff, too.12:01
sorenIf you only see it mentioned in the text file, it's because it didn't change in the code. If it didn't change in the code, that's because it was that way before.12:02
persiaThere's another option.12:02
RhondaBut it can't.12:02
RhondaThe switch was done in 1.7.4 by upstream.12:02
persiaIt may have changed in Debian since it was changed in Ubuntu, and the last merger may have failed to understand the code well enough to drop it from the changelog.12:02
Rhondapersia: No, it's explicitly marked in the 1.7.4 upstream changes.12:03
sorenOk, now I'm actually looking at the patch,you're linking to..12:04
sorenIt says, loud and clear:12:04
soren+--without-lecture --with-tty-tickets \12:04
sorenTwice.12:04
sorenSo it most certainly does mention this outside the changelog diff.12:05
RhondaAh, only grepped for tty_tickets, my bad.12:05
Rhondamy bad then12:05
sorenBut really, if Debian applied the same change, it wouldn't show up in this diff, exactly /because/ we already had this change.12:06
Rhondasoren: a.) Debian didn't apply any diff, the default got switched upstream in 1.7.4.  b.) this diff is about 1.7.2, not 1.7.4 (which isn't in Ubuntu yet)12:07

ScottKRhonda: For the backport, since it's a no change backport, you don't have to upload anything.  There is an archive script that does it.14:49
RhondaScottK: Right, but people might want to test it before they ACK, not?14:54
RhondaJust wanted to offer my done builds somehow. :)14:54
ScottKRhonda: From and Ubuntu backports perspective if a tester says it builds, installs, runs (which I read your report as saying), it's sufficient.14:56
ScottKI know that sounds like a very weak standard, but it seems to work.14:56
RhondaWell, it's not like debian backports has any more testing, trust has to be there anyway for the uploaders.15:00
RhondaAnd if it's a backport without source changes chances are good that this can be trusted indeed.15:01
debfxScottK: is there anything more I need to do in bug #647361?15:05

smallfoot-hey put PyOgre in repo18:44
_stink_hey folks.  i just did apt-get update in lucid 64bit and i'm seeing some unexpected stuff in the aptitude package listings.  245 new packages, all of them with blank descriptions... doing 'U' to mark all updates has aptitude wanting to remove g++ and tons of other stuff... and update many packages from one version number to an identical version number.18:48
_stink_any advice?  could the repo be messed up?18:48
_stink_wait, i'm using a mirror on this machine.18:53
_stink_i mean, not using the standard ubuntu repos.  don't know if that matters.18:53
Bachstelzeprobably18:55
jdong_stink_: having weird 3rd party repos can certainly do that18:55
Bachstelzeany real reason to not use the standard repos ?18:55
jdongtry to simulate it and pastebin the simulation output?18:55
Bachstelzehi jdong18:55
jdonghey Bachstelze18:55
_stink_Bachstelze: well, i am close to the Oakland Univ. (Michigan) mirror.18:55
jdongoh if it's an actual mirror of an Ubuntu repo, that should not be an issue18:56
Bachstelzeoh, right18:56
BachstelzeI thought maybe some unofficial ISP or company mirror18:56
jdongyour sources.list / sources.list.d, and an aptitude -s dist-upgrade18:56
Bachstelzethat could be messed up18:56
jdongthose would be helpful for troubleshooting18:56
_stink_jdong: well, it happened right after i added the virtualbox non-free repo.  after apt-get update, i get the weirdness.  but i've removed that file in sources.list.d, and re-updated, and i expected it to fix itself.  but it didn't.18:57
jdong*cringe* okay18:57
jdongnow I think we're getting closer to the problem18:57
_stink_ruh roh.18:57
jdongcan you run aptitude -s dist-upgrade and pastebin the results?18:58
jdongthat'll at least tell us why aptitude so desperately wants to be removing g++ et al18:58
_stink_jdong: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511823/19:01
jdonghmm interesting19:03
jdong_stink_: what does safe-upgrade want to do?19:04
_stink_jdong: aptitude -s safe-upgrade show exactly the same thing as -s dist-upgrade.19:05
jdong_stink_: okay time for the big guns then. aptitude -o 'Aptitude::CmdLine::Resolver-Debug=true' dist-upgrade19:05
ari-tczewwho deals with hall-of-fame?19:06
jdongthe only slightly suspicious thing I see is the edgers PPA19:06
_stink_jdong: no extra output at all.  i'm at the "Do you want to continue?" prompt.19:07
jdongdoubt it'd be acting up to the point of suggesting the removal of so many packages19:07
_stink_looks the same as the other outputs.19:07
jdonghmm, groan19:07
_stink_and that PPA is commented out. :/19:08
jdongI'm not much of an aptitude guy, what is {u}?19:08
jdong{a} is autoremove...19:09
smallfoot-hey put PyOgre in repo19:09
smallfoot-hey put PyOgre in repo19:09
smallfoot-hey put PyOgre in repo19:09
smallfoot-hey put PyOgre in repo19:09
_stink_not sure myself - the aptitude GUI shows these as no longer used, so marked for removal.19:09
jdong_stink_: oh, they're marked for autoremove... so that's what {u} is...19:10
jdongheh it's totally ungoogleable19:10
_stink_hehe19:10
jdong_stink_: eh then it doesn't look so bad; explicitly aptitude install things that you don't want it to autoremove?19:11
jdong_stink_: probably easier to mark that using Synaptic if it's a GUI enabled system19:11
_stink_lemme give that a shot.19:11
_stink_thanks.19:11

maxbDoes anyone know off hand what the best way to set something like PYTHONPATH=build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6 is, to run tests during a build on what you just built?23:52
RAOFSet that in the environment before running your tests?23:55
ScottKmaxb: I assume you want to add that to PYTHONPATH, not be all of PYTHONPATH?23:57
ScottKimport sys23:57
ScottKsys.path.append('build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6')23:57
maxbWell, there shouldn't be any PYTHONPATH before that, since it's inside a build on a buildd23:58
maxbAnd the tricky bit is calculating the platform specifier right23:58
