psusican I just run patch against that file and paste in the diff output?00:00
ebroderIf you're jumping across multiple upstream versions, it's better to take the time and track down the specific upstream versions where the new symbols were added00:00
penguin42don't suppose anyone knows the nm or objdump magic to show which version of a symbol something either declares or wants?00:01
psusiwhy bother if they weren't packaged?00:02
ebroderpsusi: You don't know that they weren't00:02
=== HawksWin is now known as Pilif12p
psusiI don't think you can do that penguin... you can just see that it needs a symbol, which is why it is important that symbols not change, only add new ones, then you can see what version the new one was added with this symbol file apparently00:02
psusiebroder, well they aren't in debian or Ubuntu ;)00:02
ebroderpsusi: There exist packages outside of Debian and Ubuntu00:03
psusiI don't think I care enough to bother... especially since I"m taking it from .54 to .74, so 20 upstream releases00:03
psusiupdating the symbols on each one would be a royal pita00:04
penguin42(readelf is the answer to symbol versions)00:06
loolHmm looks like linux-source-2.6.36 was put in universe instead of main00:29
ogra_acusual hiccup00:34
* ScottK is learning about fixing linker failures.00:34
ScottKSo far ~ half the Universe packages I've touched FTBFS with the new linker behavior.00:35
ogra_acfun00:35
ebroderThis is the one where you...start linking libraries you only indirectly depend on?00:36
ebroderOr is it stop?00:36
psusinew linker behavior?00:36
ScottKebroder: It's the indirect one.00:40
ScottKpsusi: See doko's "Natty open for development" message to u-d-a.00:40
psusik00:41
ebroderWait - are we switching to gold, or just changing how the old linker works?00:42
vadi21debuild is trying to sign with an invalid email that's not set in the changelog nor DEBEMAIL. Where else could it be getting it from?00:45
psusiso if I understand this correctly, if you call function foo in lib bar, and you link to lib bar but not lib snoz, but lib bar does... in gcc 4.4 the linker ended up mashing them all together and thus, resolving references you make to libsnoz?  and now it doesn't?00:46
ScottKebroder: Apparently changing how the old one works.00:47
ScottKpsusi: Yes.00:47
ebroderWait, is that it, or is it s/function foo in lib bar/function foo in lib snoz/?00:47
psusigoofy... so basically the fix is to add the -l directives that should have been there all along but weren't?00:47
ScottKWe've gone a couple of cycles now without a toolchain change that made us fix  a bunch of stuff to get things that built before to build again.00:48
ScottKpsusi: Yes.00:48
ebroder"Developers are frequently lazy; film at 11"00:48
psusias evidenced by the several quilt patches in lvm2 that have no documentation00:50
psusifortunately, I managed to either fix to apply, or determine upstream integrated already, about half of them00:50
psusithe other half... not sure what they are for so if they didn't cleanly apply, I just dropped for now00:50
psusiit's funny, at first I didn't like the buttons on the left of the window thing... but I went to the Renesas DevCon this week and there was a lab using Fedora... I kept trying to click the left when the buttons were on the right00:52

micahghas anyone seen something like this in natty? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/514787/04:36
wgrantmicahg: GCC 4.5's behaviour has changed.04:37
micahgwgrant: I know, but this seems unusual with 2 libraries having the same symbols04:38
wgrantld won't let you link against symbols that you only pull in indirectly.04:38
micahgoh, right, I guess that's what it is :-/04:38

ArneGoetjecjwatson: Hi! I have a problem with grub2 from a freshly installed Maverick to boot Windows XP: when just pressing enter on the WinXP entry in the boot menu, WinXP cannot find autochk and fails to boot. However, if I select the entry in the boot menu, press 'e' and then crtl+x without changing anything, then WinXP boots without problems. Any idea?05:37
ArneGoetjecjwatson: forget it... configuration mistake. :) 'insmod parttool' and 'insmod'chain' were missing.05:55
ArneGoetjecjwatson: gaa... no, that didn't fix it, problem is still there... anyways: bug #66201506:46

cjwatsonArneGoetje: bizarre.  no ideas off the top of my head, unfortunately ...09:38
ari-tczewcjwatson: could you remove from merge-o-matic/main these packages? libfile-basedir-perl , myspell-sk09:58
cjwatsonari-tczew: done10:24
ari-tczewthanks10:24
gesercjwatson: I'm currently merging vim and asking myself if the python3 interpreter support should also be enabled for the basic builds or still only the python2 one?10:35
cjwatsongeser: good question, I don't know.  does it add dependencies not currently in main?10:38
cjwatsonand do they conflict in any way?10:39
geserprobably not (have to check the b-d to be sure) but it build-depends on python3-dev which is already in main10:39
cjwatsonI suppose it would add libpython3.1 or something to vim's footprint10:40
cjwatsonbut it doesn't seem obviously wrong to me to enable python3 support10:40
gesercjwatson: probably no conflict as for ALLINTERPRETERS both get enabled10:40
doko_not, if a vim package ends up with dependencies on both 2 and 310:40
geserwe changed in the the past NOINTERPFLAGS to enable python also in the basic builds and now there is also an option for python310:41
cjwatsondoko_: does that mean "not obviously wrong" or "no we shouldn't do it"?10:41
doko_I'm wondering if it's even possible to configure with both interpreters, and what you end up with. so I don't know about the former, but we shouldn't do that, if it results in a binary/package pulling python3 on the cd's. if a separate binary package is built, which is not on the CD, ok10:44
geserwhich vim variant is on the CDs?10:45
cjwatsonvim is on the server CD, not desktop10:47
cjwatsonvim-tiny is on everything10:48
geserI'll do a test-build and check the resulting dependencies then10:50
gesercjwatson: vim gets now compiled with "--with-modified-by=NAME       name of who modified a release version" set to the Debian Vim maintainers mailing list. Should I left it like this or set it to ubuntu-devel-discuss@ ?11:00
cjwatsonI don't know, use your judgement11:01

dan4dmhi, i'm working on a ubuntu-based distro, trying to change the distro name in ubiquity. (the files use a ${RELEASE} variable, not sure where that's set.) anyone know where to set it? (if this isn't the right channel, pls advise the right one!)14:49
dan4dm(to be more exact, it's the distro name displayed in the ubiquity gui screens that i'd like to change)14:50
geserdoko_, cjwatson: I've tried compiling vim 7.3 with dynamic loading of python2 and python3. The resulting deb has no dependency on python (or libpython) at all and vim tries loading libpython2.6 or libpython3.1 when one uses :py or :py3 commands. It this acceptable to let both enabled (with dynamic loading)?14:55
sladendan4dm: are the strings coming from debian-installer underneath?15:02
sladendan4dm: but  apt-get source ...  && grep -r 'RELEASE ?='15:03

penguin42tumbleweed: Are you sure about marking kicad for lucid as invalid, won't the lucid-updates build of libwx-gtk break the kicad that's there at the moment?15:52

tumbleweedpenguin42: can't see any linkage to libwx_gtk2u_aui at all in the lucid version16:18
penguin42hmm well that would explain why it didn't break16:18
penguin42although what the heck a KDE app is doing being linked to a gtk library I'm not sure16:19

geserdoko_: did the "buffer overflow" checker in gcc-4.5 got improved compared to gcc-4.4? As I've trouble to compile my merged vim package in natty because of a "buffer overflow" when trying to run the binary. Compiling it with gcc-4.4  or gcc-4.5 -O0 works. (The current vim package in the archive shows the same problem when getting build in natty)17:28

lyhana8hi there, am I in the right place to ask for package patching?18:02
penguin42lyhana8: Generally if it's a bug or wishlist add a bug18:05
lyhana8penguin42: it's about a patch on the ATI driver package18:05
lyhana8the bug is marked as fixed18:06
lyhana8patch is to be done on fglrx kernel module to compile again on kernels with CVE-2010-3081 fixed18:06
ubottuThe compat_alloc_user_space functions in include/asm/compat.h files in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc4-git2 on 64-bit platforms do not properly allocate the userspace memory required for the 32-bit compatibility layer, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the ability of the compat_mc_getsockopt function (aka the MCAST_MSFILTER getsockopt support) to control a certain length value, related to a "stack pointer underflow" issue,18:06
lyhana8(as explain by someone on #ati)18:06
