| barry | ScottK: gotcha (i'm still using bzr, but the branch hasn't been updated yet, which is why i asked). i may not get to it until tomorrow | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| SpamapS | ScottK: err.. uhm.. there were a number of other changes too that somehow got missed there. | 00:00 |
| ScottK | barry: dget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/cheetah_2.4.3-0ubuntu1.dsc also works. | 00:00 |
| ScottK | SpamapS: I just uploaded what barry gave me, so please get it sorted out with him. | 00:01 |
| SpamapS | We've leap-frogged the debian package | 00:01 |
| ScottK | Which is OK since it gets us ~OK with 2.7. | 00:01 |
| barry | SpamapS: we'll have to get this back into debian experimental | 00:01 |
| ScottK | (modulo whatever blew up the current build) | 00:01 |
| micahg | ScottK: barry: since you're into python, what do you think about wxwidgets in main? python-numpy now uses python-matplotlib to generate the docs (So it FTBFS ATM), so matplotlib has several universe build deps, but wxwidgets accounts for most of them | 00:02 |
| SpamapS | Just minor stuff that was fixed in the debian 2.4.2.1 package | 00:02 |
| barry | micahg: isn't there still some controversy about python-numpy support especially w.r.t. py2.7 | 00:03 |
| barry | er, python-numpy version | 00:03 |
| ScottK | barry: http://kitterman.com/kubuntu/cheetah.debc is what my build looked like. | 00:03 |
| ScottK | barry: re numpy/matplotlib - We ought to decide sooner rather than later if we'll split the package or promote all the depends. | 00:04 |
| ScottK | SpamapS: re "minor stuff" work it out with barry and I'll upload the fixed version when you both have it ready. | 00:05 |
| micahg | barry: idk much about the package, just happened to be browsing through FTBFS and saw this | 00:05 |
| micahg | barry: I think 1.5.x has support though | 00:06 |
| SpamapS | barry: one way to get this right is to make 2.4.3-0ubuntu2 from the 2.4.2.1-1ubuntu1 that I merged on bug 663343 (sans the pyversions limitation) | 00:06 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 663343 in cheetah (Ubuntu) "Please merge cheetah 2.4.2.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/663343 | 00:06 |
| SpamapS | barry: and then send that back to debian for experimental. | 00:07 |
| barry | SpamapS: i'll take a look at that tomorrow. unfortunately, gotta run | 00:07 |
| SpamapS | barry: np will throw the bug at you when its ready | 00:09 |
| ScottK | barry and SpamapS: The debian/watch file also needs to be updated to point at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Cheetah/2.4.3. | 00:13 |
| SpamapS | ScottK: IIRC, pypi watches don't need to point to a particular version | 00:20 |
| ScottK | SpamapS: Yes. We don't want to point to just the particular version, that was meant to be exemplary and not precise. | 00:20 |
| SpamapS | ScottK: the shebangs in /usr/bin/* for cheetah come out as /usr/bin/python2.7 .. I doubt thats intentional. | 00:23 |
| ScottK | Probably not. | 00:23 |
| SpamapS | especially since it breaks without python2.7 installed | 00:23 |
| ScottK | Yep. | 00:24 |
| SpamapS | Depends: python (<< 2.7), python (>= 2.6), python-support (>= 0.90.0), libc6 (>= 2.2.5) | 00:24 |
| SpamapS | is that a bug in pysupport? | 00:25 |
| ScottK | Yes. Or more correctly the change to support python2.7 as a supported version was probably incomplete. | 00:27 |
| SpamapS | I'm thinking that setup.py should be called in such a way where it sets the executable to /usr/bin/python, no? | 00:29 |
| ScottK | There's some option for that -externally-managed or so. | 00:30 |
| SpamapS | --install-platlib=/usr/lib/python$buildver/site-packages/ --prefix=/usr --no-compile -O0 --single-version-externally-managed; \ | 00:31 |
| === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq | ||
| SpamapS | its being called that way.. but clearly didn't work. :( | 00:33 |
| ScottK | Sounds right, except we want to install in dist-packages | 00:33 |
| ScottK | Throw --install-layout=deb in there somewhere. | 00:33 |
| SpamapS | thats just from the build log.. :-/ | 00:35 |
| SpamapS | guessing cdbs is doing something naughty | 00:35 |
| SpamapS | actually, hmm.. | 00:35 |
| SpamapS | DEB_PYTHON_INSTALL_ARGS_ALL += --single-version-externally-managed | 00:35 |
| * SpamapS tries adding it right there.. | 00:35 | |
| SpamapS | crap, its right there in the rules file | 00:36 |
| SpamapS | there's an attempt to fix it | 00:37 |
| SpamapS | which looks really hacky | 00:37 |
| SpamapS | ScottK: --install-layout=deb doesn't do it.. but I think I have a workaround. Like barry, I'm out of time too. :-P | 00:41 |
| ScottK | OK. Tomorrow then. | 00:42 |

| delan_ | what's the process for getting a package accepted into the official main/universe if it's already packaged in a PPA? | 08:50 |
| delan_ | 'i've had a look at the wiki, but that's more about the wishlist needs-packaging bugs (mine are already packaged) | 08:50 |
| persia | delan_, There's lots of different ways. The basic rule is that you want to have two members of ~ubuntu-dev say it's packaged well (because we all make mistakes) | 08:50 |
| persia | If the initial packager isn't already a member of ~ubuntu-dev, usually the second reviewer uploads it. | 08:51 |
| delan_ | how can I contact the team? | 08:51 |
| persia | There's no reliable way to contact everyone. What kind of package is it? Maybe one of the flavour teams would want to help. | 08:52 |
| delan_ | one is mathtext, a simple c-based shell-like program that transforms text into various 'styles' using Unicode | 08:52 |
| delan_ | the other is getbooru, a php-based downloader that can scrape images from a website once a profile of regexes is written | 08:53 |
| persia | delan_, Hrm. Neither of those strikes me as being tightly integrated with any of the flavours. You might ask the MOTU if one of them would review it (ask in #ubuntu-motu). You could also upload to REVU, but I'm not sure how many people check that regularly. | 08:55 |
| delan_ | please tell me, what is REVU? | 08:56 |
| delan_ | ah, i see | 08:57 |
| delan_ | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU | 08:57 |
| delan_ | i'll probably talk to the motu first, as you said | 08:57 |
| delan_ | thanks for that ;) | 08:57 |
| persia | Be aware that a large number of MOTU don't really like more packages that don't have a maintainer, and may advise you to maintain it in Debian and let Ubuntu sync it. | 08:58 |
| delan_ | my problem with that is (i'm not sure how to fix this, though it must be simple) | 08:59 |
| delan_ | in the debian/changelog, I could enter 'unstable' and let it build on debian | 08:59 |
| delan_ | but if I try to upload that to a PPA, it won't work | 08:59 |
| delan_ | it will only work with an ubuntu version as the name, maverick | 08:59 |
| persia | Oh, sure. The assumption seems to be that once you get it into normal distributions, you won't need it in the PPA anymore. | 09:00 |
| dholbach | hey slomo | 09:00 |
| persia | And I doubt anyone is going to fuss too much about the changelog entry for review: most folk consider that a trivial change. | 09:01 |

| tumbleweed | geser: yes, I understand enough german to see what it was, and the subject line was english. | 09:42 |
| ebroder | And the vote description was English. And there was only one link that could possibly have mattered | 09:43 |
| geser | I feared the voting page was mostly in German too | 09:43 |
| dholbach | geser, beware of seb128 - he marks all German mails as spam | 09:44 |
| tumbleweed | an option for members with private e-mail addresses is to mail launchpadusername@ubuntu.com - AFAIK that should work for almost-everyone | 09:44 |

| dholbach | tumbleweed, ok, just follow up on the merge proposal and I merge it when you're happy | 09:47 |
| persia | tumbleweed, It doesn't: lots of folks have differences between LP username and @ubuntu.com addresses, for complicated reasons. | 09:48 |
| tumbleweed | hmm, I thought those were the minority (and that they tended to have their lp username, too) - I also assume some of them will loop | 09:57 |
| persia | tumbleweed, hard to say. The first few hundred @ubuntu.com addresses were given out before LP integration. | 10:01 |
| persia | And lots of folks have changed LP names, but that doesn't automatically change @ubuntu.com alias (or didn't, for a very long time) | 10:02 |

| SpamapS | Is there some reason that people use cdbs now that dh 7 exists? Seems like it just confuses things. :-P | 13:41 |
| bilalakhtar | SpamapS: There are some reasons why people *have* to use cdbs | 13:42 |
| bilalakhtar | for example, in python packages | 13:42 |
| bilalakhtar | though dh7 can handle that | 13:42 |
| dholbach | SpamapS, AFAIK at least in desktop land we have a couple of extra things that cdbs just sorts out (language-packs, etc.) | 13:42 |
| bilalakhtar | dholbach: yes, you're right | 13:42 |
| SpamapS | ah | 13:42 |
| tumbleweed | err dh7 is much nicer for python packages | 13:42 |
| bilalakhtar | the gnome-*.mk files | 13:42 |
| SpamapS | for python modules its just confusing me | 13:42 |
| SpamapS | right, dh7 gets them right | 13:42 |
| tumbleweed | although some people use it for python+autoconf packages (which is vaguely relevant) | 13:43 |
| bilalakhtar | hmm, I cannot say much about python | 13:43 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, CDBS screws up shebangs (I must actually test my patch for that) | 13:43 |
| * bilalakhtar gets pinged the moment someone says 'cdbs' | 13:43 | |
| bilalakhtar | but as for GNOME packages, there are some CDBS includes which help | 13:43 |
| SpamapS | tumbleweed: yeah I think thats a bug in python-distutils.mk | 13:44 |
| SpamapS | no? | 13:44 |
| tumbleweed | SpamapS: yes and no. dh7 works around it by building with /usr/bin/python last (after all the versioned ones) | 13:44 |
| tumbleweed | but these days setup.py can take a --executable option to force a specific shebang (in many cases) | 13:44 |
| dholbach | tumbleweed, replied :) | 13:44 |
| SpamapS | I worked around it with DEB_PYTHON_BUILD_ARGS += --executable=/usr/bin/python | 13:45 |
| SpamapS | but now I'm getting leftover files in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages | 13:45 |
| SpamapS | its like dh_pysupport doesn't even see them. | 13:45 |
| bilalakhtar | coolbhavi is also facing similar problems | 13:45 |
| bilalakhtar | in his mail to ubuntu-motu | 13:45 |
| SpamapS | ugh.. I am loathe to subscribe to yet another mailing list | 13:46 |
| ScottK | bilalakhtar: There aren't any reasons why people have to use CDBS. | 13:46 |
| geser | ScottK: do you know what needs to be changed to fix FTBFS with python 2.7 and files being installed in site-packages? need the python packaging tools need to get updated for python2.7 or the package itself? | 13:46 |

| DktrKranz | lool: hi! now that python2.7 is a supported version in natty, python-support needs to be aware of that (some FTBFS have been reported already). Do you plan to look at it? | 14:34 |
| === bilalakhtar_ is now known as bilalakhtar | ||
| ScottK | DktrKranz: IIRC barry was looking at it. | 14:37 |
| DktrKranz | ScottK: ah, good. Thanks | 14:38 |
| lool | ScottK: Would you think we should implement the changes I committed in Debian for Ubuntu? | 14:40 |
| ScottK | lool: I haven't checked the details to have an opinion. | 14:40 |
| * ScottK is really hoping barry is up for worrying about it. | 14:41 | |
| lool | barry: I committed some changes to the python-support SVN to read the supported and old versions from debian_defaults; POX and Np237 weren't too sure about that; I personally think that's ok, but it might be that it causes this list to be odd at some times | 14:42 |
| ari-tczew | cjwatson: I'm not sure, but I'm afraid, that MoM is not updated anymore. | 14:59 |
| mvo | ari-tczew: yeah, it appears to be locked since 18th | 15:16 |
| barry | so i was looking at this message: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2010-October/006931.html and james_w and others suggested to install pkgbinarymangler to see the failure reproduced locally. yesterday i was successfully building cheetah locally but the buildd failed. turns out to be the exact same failures. but the meta issue is: why isn't pkgbinarymangler a builddep for python packages since its sanity check seems | 15:22 |
| barry | critical (and somewhat magical)? | 15:22 |
| james_w | barry, we don't want to modify every package for that | 15:24 |
| james_w | we could e.g. make python depend on it, but then it would put the package in the default install, which we don't want | 15:24 |
| james_w | we could have pbuilder and other tools automatically install it in the chroot | 15:24 |
| mvo | ari-tczew, cjwatson: I killed the hang process, mom should recover with the next cron run | 15:24 |
| barry | james_w: those are downsides, for sure. we'll probably be touching most python packages anyway to transition to dh_python2. i suppose we could do it then, *if* that was a direction we wanted to go in | 15:25 |
| barry | but having pbuilder and other tools install it might be a better way to go | 15:26 |
| tumbleweed | pkgbinarymangler is ubuntu-only - so it can't be a bulid-dep for python packages | 15:26 |
| barry | tumbleweed: i see | 15:26 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, it should probably be installed when variant=buildd (although I know nothing aobut debootstrap) | 15:27 |
| barry | another thought: that particular check is appropriate for both debian and ubuntu, so maybe that check should live somewhere else? dh_python2 or related? | 15:27 |
| james_w | barry, that would be good | 15:27 |
| tumbleweed | barry: sounds like it should be in dh_python2, yes. In fact dh_python2 should just put them in the right place - that's what it does for /usr/local/... AFAIK | 15:28 |
| barry | tumbleweed: yes, dh_python2 will (or should :) just put them in the right place | 15:28 |
| barry | so maybe it's a moot point after that transition is complete | 15:28 |
| ScottK | barry: There are other reasons pkgbinarymangler can cause a build to fail, so it's generally a best practice to have it installed in your build chroot (I'll confess I forgot to add it to mine after I made it for natty). | 15:41 |
| cyphermox | ScottK, it's the second time I see this come up today... would it make sense to have pkgbinarymangler added to extra packages that pbuilder should install to a chroot (though that would only work for ubuntu?) | 15:43 |
| dholbach | ari-tczew, fixed | 15:43 |
| ScottK | cyphermox: It only applies to Ubuntu buildds, so not necessarily. | 15:43 |

| Keybuk | chrisccoulson_: huh? | 17:49 |
| chrisccoulson_ | Keybuk, was that in response to my last comment? | 17:49 |
| Keybuk | yes | 17:50 |
| Keybuk | I'm curious as to why this *matters* | 17:50 |
| chrisccoulson_ | Keybuk, when mozilla did a lot of work to optimise the memory footprint of firefox before 3.0, they found a lot of memory was being wasted due to fragmentation, which ends up with memory not really being released back to the system | 17:52 |
| Keybuk | sure, but it doesn't matter | 17:53 |
| Keybuk | Linux assumes no process releases its memory | 17:53 |
| Keybuk | firefox manages to consume so much it actually hits swap | 17:53 |
| Keybuk | which will be unrelated to that fragmentation | 17:53 |
| Keybuk | sounds more like they're blaming something else for their own failure | 17:54 |
| kees | I do find it scary that it uses its own malloc; glibc's is actually pretty safe. | 17:56 |

| chrisccoulson_ | kees - building our ubuntu packaging branch with our gcc-4.5, and also debians gcc - all fail | 18:48 |
| chrisccoulson_ | building stock mozilla-central with both gcc versions - both ok | 18:48 |
| kees | chrisccoulson_: okay, but a stock build worked? sounds like PIE | 18:48 |
| chrisccoulson_ | building our packaging without DEB_BUILD_HARDENING also works with both gcc versions | 18:49 |
| kees | yup. | 18:49 |
| kees | so that means it's either PIE or BIND_NOW | 18:49 |
| bilalakhtar | Keybuk: Are you serious on leaving Canonical? | 18:49 |

| chrisccoulson_ | kees - ok, doing that now | 18:51 |
| chrisccoulson_ | thanks | 18:51 |
| kees | chrisccoulson_: and if that works, then we've isolated the problem, and can try to forward this to gcc or something. | 18:52 |
| hicham | what does DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_PIE do ? | 18:53 |
| kees | hicham: http://wiki.debian.org/Hardening#DEBBUILDHARDENINGPIE.28gcc.2BAC8-g.2B-.2B--fPIE-pie.29 | 18:53 |
| kees | hicham: it enables relocation for the text segment of the binary | 18:54 |
| kees | hicham: i.e. -fPIE -pie compiler flags, like -fPIC for shared objects, but for the main binary | 18:54 |
| jdstrand | kees: done | 18:54 |
| kees | jdstrand: thanks! | 18:54 |
| hicham | kees: there are some text relocs in libxul.so FWIW | 18:55 |
| chrisccoulson_ | judging by my analysis of the problem, -pie sounds like a plausible culprit ;) | 18:55 |
| chrisccoulson_ | right, that's building now | 18:55 |
| kees | hicham: all of libxul.so should be relocatable (since it's a shared object and must be compiled with -fPIC) | 18:55 |
| chrisccoulson_ | i will also do a stock mozilla-central build with -pie, which is the only combination i haven't done so far i think | 18:56 |
| kees | chrisccoulson_: weird that it would show up in this way. but if gcc-4.4 works but gcc-4.5 doesn't, then we should be able to show the problem to upstream | 18:56 |
| hicham | kees: most have been fixed ( the relocs from libvpx), but there are one or two relocs remaining from gfx/Layers code | 18:56 |
| kees | chrisccoulson_: injecting -fPIE -pie can be tricky, depending on how they call the linker | 18:56 |

| kirkland | tgardner: what is it you want to do? put Maverick's debootstrap into lucid-backports? | 19:23 |
| tgardner | kirkland, yep, I need a natty schroot | 19:23 |
| kirkland | tgardner: and you want it in the official lucid-backports archive, rather than just putting it in a PPA, or building it locally for yourself? | 19:24 |
| tgardner | kirkland, yes. the kernel team uses the schroot on a bunch of machines. Adding it to -backports is what has been done in the past | 19:25 |
| kirkland | tgardner: okay, let me take a look | 19:25 |
| smoser | i believe that we have had updates like that into -updates (not -backports) in the past | 19:25 |
| smoser | just for adding new release names | 19:26 |
| smoser | (which is all you need for debootstrap, a single 'ln -s gutsy natty') | 19:26 |
| tgardner | smoser, I have a patch for the Lucid debootstrap that does just that, but I wanted to make sure it was the right way before I uploaded it. | 19:27 |
| smoser | i swear that there was a special allowance for "release names" to be "back ported". but maybe i just dreamed that. | 19:27 |
| tgardner | smoser, looking at the lucid package I think thats what was done. | 19:28 |
| tgardner | for maverick at least | 19:28 |
| kirkland | tgardner: yeah, i think i'd rather that -- a small fix that adds natty | 19:29 |
| tgardner | kirkland, ok, I'll upload in a few minutes | 19:29 |
| kirkland | tgardner: cool, thanks | 19:29 |
| kirkland | pitti: looks like debootstrap 1.0.20ubuntu1.1 has been in lucid-propose for 9 weeks | 19:29 |
| kirkland | tgardner: make sure you base your update on debootstrap 1.0.20ubuntu1.1 from lucid-proposed | 19:30 |

| SpamapS | barry: hmm.. it did remove the site-packages dirs now.. but no pyc compilation | 20:14 |
| barry | SpamapS: on build? that's actually a good thing :) pycs are built at install time | 20:15 |
| SpamapS | no on install | 20:15 |
| barry | that's bad :( | 20:15 |
| SpamapS | Could be something else wonky in this system | 20:16 |
| Pici | 22 | 20:16 |
| SpamapS | Pici: how'd you know my lucky number? ;) | 20:16 |
| Pici | SpamapS: Magic ;) | 20:16 |
| directhex | asac: can i talk to you regarding a mono patch you wrote for ARM? | 20:17 |
| SpamapS | barry: update-python-modules uses the same source for supported versions, right? | 20:17 |
| SpamapS | barry: even manually running 'sudo update-python-modules -f' doesn't create the pyc's for cheetah, though it did create them for others | 20:23 |
| barry | SpamapS: hmm. i'm distracted with something else atm, but will get back to this asap | 20:24 |
| SpamapS | barry: ok, I'll post my experience to the merge proposal | 20:24 |
| barry | thanks! | 20:24 |
| chrisccoulson | kees - ok, build with DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_PIE=0 is good :) | 20:38 |
| chrisccoulson | just waiting for the other build to finish, just to confirm that one fails to start | 20:39 |
| kees | chrisccoulson: well, that's a bit scary, but okay, at least we've isolated it. | 20:39 |
| chrisccoulson | kees - yeah, i want to wait for the other build to finish first, because they're totally identical except for that one option | 20:39 |
| kees | cool | 20:39 |
| ajmitch | ScottK: sorry, are there other things you need me to break in boost1.42 before I upload it? | 20:41 |
| * ajmitch is still waiting on the laptop to resume properly before he can check it | 20:42 | |
| doko_ | smoser: well, why drop a patch, which we will introduce later again this cycle? if you want to go forward, please use dh_python2 instead of python-central | 20:42 |
| chrisccoulson | kees - ok, now i'm really confused. the other build works too :/ | 20:42 |
| kees | O_o | 20:43 |
| smoser | doko_ will admit to not really being knowledgable about what was going on there. but the poster said the end result is the same with or without the patch that was droppd. | 20:45 |
| doko_ | smoser: there is no guarantee that a helper will do the correct things within /usr/local, and dh_python2 warns about that too. I'll have a look at the merge if nobody wants to do it | 20:47 |
| smoser | well, i personally would appreciate it. i can do it, but having my uec-images build *right now* is my main interest. and the learning curve would be more time consuming than leaching from you | 20:49 |
| smoser | :) | 20:49 |
| chrisccoulson | kees - oh, it helps if i actually use the right gcc version..... | 20:49 |
| chrisccoulson | ;) | 20:49 |
| * chrisccoulson crawls under a bus | 20:49 | |
| kees | chrisccoulson: oops. :P | 20:50 |
| chrisccoulson | i'm deeply embarassed now, i've just wasted 2 hours of my evening waiting for those to finish ;) | 20:52 |
| tumbleweed | doko_, smoser: I'll happily provide a merge. I just thought that if it works unmodified there's no point in having ubuntu-modifications. | 20:53 |
| doko_ | tumbleweed: in principle, yes, but we finally want to robustify the python packaging, eliminating symlinking at install time for packages on the CD | 20:54 |
| tumbleweed | doko_: I'm aware of that | 20:55 |
| doko_ | tumbleweed: so do it now, and don't touch it later again ;) | 20:56 |
| tumbleweed | heh, well that won't happen until 2.6 is gone, I assume | 20:56 |
| chrisccoulson | kees - ok, take 2 now (builds kicked off, with the correct gcc version this time) | 20:59 |
| kees | chrisccoulson: okay, cool. | 21:01 |
| tumbleweed | doko_: oh on the CD, you mean before then. Should I do a merge that also converts to dh_python2 then? | 21:02 |
| doko_ | tumbleweed: would be appreciated, yes. just make sure that all files are still included | 21:04 |
| tumbleweed | sure | 21:04 |
| smoser | tumbleweed, doko_ thank you. | 21:11 |
| ScottK | ajmitch: Just adding -py27 to the versions for boost-python. | 21:29 |
| === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away | ||
| ajmitch | from a 10-second overview, I don't see python versions hardcoded in it at the moment | 21:32 |
| smoser | anyone aware of code to parse 'LP: #' bug identifiers from a string ? | 21:35 |
| smoser | ideally woudl support debian style bug reference also, and 'LP: #1, #2' | 21:36 |
| geser | somewhere in a perl module from dpkg (IIRC) | 21:42 |
| micahg | doko_: is the icedtea plugin going away, or did it just move somewhere? | 21:46 |
| doko_ | micahg: split out into a separate package, so that you can take over maintenance ;) | 21:47 |
| micahg | doko_: heh, happy to help if I can :) | 21:48 |
| TommyBrunn | Hello everyone. I'm trying to find some up-to-date information on creating Gnome panel applets in Python, but I can only seem to find old, outdated and incorrect resources. Do any of you have any idea where I can find good documentation? | 21:58 |

| tuxmountain | Hi | 22:09 |
| tuxmountain | how are you? | 22:10 |
| BUGabundo | tired | 22:10 |
| BUGabundo | in need of a couple new eye balls | 22:10 |
| tuxmountain | I've a question (I don't know if it's here the best place for that but I try!) | 22:11 |
| tuxmountain | Why WUSB600N is totaly supported in 9.04... but not in 9.10 or 10.4...? | 22:12 |
| tuxmountain | With 9.04 you install ubuntu, and the wifi works | 22:12 |
| tuxmountain | but with 9.10... you need ndiswrappers! Why? | 22:13 |
| tuxmountain | It's not possible to use a old paquet for the wifi? | 22:13 |

| chrisccoulson | kees - ok, confirmed it is pie now | 22:41 |
| chrisccoulson | i guess it would be useful for me to figure out a minimal case to reproduce it | 22:42 |
| kees | chrisccoulson: that would be optimal, yeah | 22:42 |
| lifeless | barry: here ok ? | 22:48 |
| lifeless | barry: is there a session about multiple versions of python libraries being supported planned for uds ? | 22:49 |
| barry | sure | 22:49 |
| lifeless | barry: I know jos said (roughly 'mmm, nice idea, no time'), but I think it would be -awesome- to get this actually moving. | 22:49 |
| barry | lifeless: not as such. we have a few blueprints carried over from mav but no sessions planned. i think we[*] are pretty much in agreement on the plan for natty | 22:50 |
| lifeless | barry: And I'd be delighted to be the grain of sand | 22:50 |
| barry | [*] ScottK, doko, myself at a minimum | 22:50 |
| lifeless | barry: oh, I don't mean python3.1+3.2 | 22:50 |
| lifeless | I mean zope.appserver1.3 + zope.appserver1.4 | 22:50 |
| barry | ah, right. no nothing planned for that | 22:50 |
| lifeless | barry: I don't think that *that* has been previously specced? Or maybe its the same thing (but I don't believe so?) | 22:51 |
| barry | lifeless: no you're right, i misread | 22:51 |
| ScottK | Wasn't the zope answer "Use buildout"? | 22:51 |
| lifeless | ScottK: which is terribly unsatisfying | 22:51 |
| barry | well, the python answer is buildout|virtualenv | 22:51 |
| lifeless | in fact, you could use buildout + concurrent package installs | 22:52 |
| lifeless | but until we support it in the core, its very hard to start sending better-support patches upstream | 22:52 |
| barry | lifeless: if you create the blueprint/session i will definitely attend <wink> | 22:53 |
| lifeless | barry: I'm seeking a champion :) | 22:54 |
| lifeless | barry: and I figure, given your knowledge, that you're ideal! | 22:54 |
| barry | lifeless: i am very sympathetic, but i have so much on my plate right now ;} | 22:54 |
| lifeless | :( | 22:55 |
| barry | lifeless: i'd really love to defer this until pycon 2011 time frame. i want to sit down with tarek and maybe the fedora guys and think about what can be pushed into the core and what must be done on the distros | 22:55 |
| barry | i know that sucks for you though | 22:56 |
| lifeless | barry: ok | 22:56 |
| lifeless | I doubt I'll be at pycon though | 22:56 |
| barry | lifeless: apol if you've already done this, but at a minimum, can you write up a wiki page about what you'd *like* to see? something that i can show tarek and say, "hey, what can distutils2 do to help us"? | 22:57 |
| lifeless | barry: that mail I sent you :) | 22:57 |
| lifeless | I'll look at something more referencable though | 22:57 |
| barry | lifeless: yeah, i know. email is so easily buried ;) (like wiki pages aren't easily forgotten) | 22:58 |
| barry | lifeless: that would be great. please know i understand how important this is and as i say i'm with you. there are other things that have to get finished by 13-nov (python 3.2's beta 1) | 22:59 |
| slangasek | ajmitch: brainstorming: I think a key here is going to be a client tool that keeps track of Packages files, can extract a list of updated packages from those files, and use that to decide which branches to pull from - to avoid polling 16k branches, one TCP connection at a time, when maybe only 200 branches have been updated that day | 22:59 |
| lifeless | slangasek: context? | 22:59 |
| ajmitch | keeping a local mirror of packaging branches | 23:00 |
| lifeless | just use the ubuntu branches rss feed | 23:00 |
| slangasek | lifeless: "UDD will always be slower than my local mirror until I can have UDD on my local mirror" :) | 23:00 |
| slangasek | where's that? | 23:00 |
| lifeless | looking | 23:00 |
| lifeless | it *should* just exist, as the project group ones etc doo | 23:00 |
| lifeless | but if it doesn't, I'll file a bug | 23:01 |
| slangasek | ok | 23:01 |
| slangasek | is the RSS feed over SSL? | 23:01 |
| ajmitch | lifeless: want me to file a bug still for LP timeout OOPS that I run across? | 23:01 |
| lifeless | ajmitch: god yes | 23:01 |
| lifeless | ajmitch: if there isn't one tagged timeout | 23:02 |
| lifeless | launchpad-project/+bugs?field.tag=timeout | 23:02 |
| ajmitch | I'm guessing that https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches must be a fairly large list | 23:02 |
| lifeless | ajmitch: yes | 23:02 |
| lifeless | but thats not wher eyou should look | 23:02 |
| lifeless | thats the old style | 23:02 |
| ajmitch | there's a bug open for it at least | 23:03 |
| lifeless | http://feeds.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-project/revisions.atom is the lp project one | 23:03 |
| lifeless | ok, there isn't an ubuntu one | 23:03 |
| lifeless | I'll file the bug | 23:03 |
| slangasek | ok | 23:04 |
| slangasek | lifeless: what kind of detail will that give me? For instance, if I want a mirror of all of main + a selection of packages from universe that interest me, will I get enough info from that RSS feed or do I need to poke at supplementary sources anyway? | 23:05 |
| lifeless | slangasek: no idea; you could certainly use it to decide what to inspect and use germinate rules for better control | 23:05 |
| lifeless | slangasek: how important is this | 23:05 |
| slangasek | lifeless: I think having a flexible mirroring tool for UDD is a tipping point for its wider adoption; not necessarily asking you to dedicate resources to solving it right at the moment | 23:06 |
| barry | do any sbuild users know how to make sbuild use an schroot session? i have a locally built .deb that i'd like to build another package against. i can create an schroot session and install that .deb but i can't figure out how to get sbuild to use that session when building the second package | 23:06 |
| barry | sbuild --schroot `cat session-id` doesn't seem to work | 23:07 |
| lifeless | slangasek: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-code/+bug/664195 | 23:07 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 664195 in Launchpad Bazaar Integration "package branch feeds missing" [Undecided,New] | 23:07 |
| barry | er, --chroot `cat session-id` | 23:08 |
| ajmitch | slangasek: the other side of that is changing the bzr-lp plugin to prefer local repositories for fetching revisions from, so that you can still do 'bzr branch lp:foo' | 23:08 |
