| tumbleweed | I mean libilmbase-dev knows what's needed to link to it, if you use pkg-config to find out | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| xteejx | I'm *really* confused now... | 00:01 |
| xteejx | Sorry I'm not understanding it all, I am trying to, but sometimes it's a bit _too_ much | 00:03 |
| tumbleweed | xteejx: basically I'm saying that instead of hardcoding -lHalf into this makefile you should probably add something like $(shell pkg-config --libs IlmBase) | 00:09 |
| tumbleweed | also I'm telling you that .pc files exist and may help you when you are trying to find your way around libraries you don't know | 00:09 |
| xteejx | tumbleweed: Can I not just add -lHalf to the debian/rules (there is a suitable place for it, and it wouldn't change the main source)? | 00:09 |
| xteejx | I understand the .pc files thing...sort of, well more so than the other stuff :) | 00:10 |
| tumbleweed | xteejx: yes, we like minimal changes in ubuntu, but you also need to forward something upstream | 00:10 |
| xteejx | Upstream dev I assume? Surely they'd fix it anyway with the new gcc? | 00:11 |
| tumbleweed | no, if they use a new gcc they'll run into this | 00:11 |
| xteejx | Doesn't that mean they'll fix it anyway, is what I mean? | 00:12 |
| xteejx | Just wondering | 00:12 |
| tumbleweed | put it this way, do we want to maintain every fix for every bug that we've only discovered in ubuntu? It would quickly become unmanageable, esp in universe where we have little manpower for the size of the archive. We want to ship unmodified source wherever we can. | 00:13 |
| xteejx | Right, so sending these fixes to Deb and dev will help eliminate the need for that I assume? | 00:14 |
| xteejx | I think I understand that now | 00:15 |
| tumbleweed | yip, try to do that where possible | 00:15 |
| tumbleweed | (unless it's something that'll never be relevent for them) | 00:15 |
| xteejx | Modifying the source here in Ubuntu and then sending those changes to Deb and dev will remove the need for.... | 00:15 |
| tumbleweed | will mean that they'll fix it and we can go back to unmodified | 00:15 |
| xteejx | patching rules or whatever when it comes to syncing again? | 00:15 |
| xteejx | Staying closer to Debian, I get it | 00:16 |
| xteejx | well...unmodified, not necessarily Deb | 00:16 |
| tumbleweed | most of the time, it's debian. And we only auto-sync from debian | 00:17 |
| xteejx | I mean if Deb haven't made changes we're just as equally close to dev version :) | 00:17 |
| xteejx | It seems to be compiling with the change in debian/rules, but that's not in the upstream source :( | 00:19 |
| xteejx | I'll scrollback to the other bit | 00:19 |
| tumbleweed | I'm guessing CIMG_EXR_LDFLAGS in examples/Makefile | 00:19 |
| xteejx | I did see that when I grepped for LDFLAGS | 00:20 |
| xteejx | I thought we weren't meant to modify the source | 00:20 |
| xteejx | or is that just merges? | 00:20 |
| tumbleweed | most of the time, we try to fix things inside debian/rules if possible (and yes that's not upstream source). But that's often not possible. | 00:21 |
| tumbleweed | this package uses source format 3.0 (quilt), so it can take quilt patches | 00:22 |
| xteejx | but ftbfs is different because this would be a problem WITH the source and we'd have to pass the fix to the dev right? | 00:22 |
| tumbleweed | I'm not entirely sure I understand your question | 00:23 |
| Bachstelze | xteejx: a lot of things can cause a FTBFS | 00:23 |
| xteejx | when we're fixing ftbfs errors, is it ok to mod the source, I mean like these ones? | 00:23 |
| xteejx | sorry it's late, not making myself clear | 00:23 |
| tumbleweed | yes. ftbfs is just a class of bug, a nice obvious one | 00:24 |
| tumbleweed | it's great when packages have good test suites - then they ftbfs when anything goes wrong | 00:24 |
| xteejx | Ok, so the main question is this...why bother with quilt or patching at all? | 00:24 |
| tumbleweed | xteejx: if you have an easy fix involving debian/rules, use it. | 00:25 |
| Bachstelze | xteejx: sometimes you need to patch the source, but noot always | 00:25 |
| xteejx | but this is different because the dev will do this anyway with the gcc change? | 00:25 |
| tumbleweed | xteejx: I was taking you down that route so you can file a bug with upstream with a fix that's good for them. But that doesn't have to be the same fix we use | 00:26 |
| xteejx | Right I see. But of course if we can help them,, we should? | 00:27 |
| tumbleweed | that's always good - and I'm probably a little more pedantic about that than some of the old-hands | 00:27 |
| xteejx | Or to put it another way.... | 00:27 |
| xteejx | We don't have to, but we do :) | 00:28 |
| tumbleweed | I think teaching new devs good habits is beneficial | 00:28 |
| xteejx | No, I totally agree | 00:28 |
| xteejx | Best to get in good habits instead of bad old ways | 00:28 |
| xteejx | I've actually just forwarded that basic256 fix to debian, should probably inform the dev too? | 00:29 |
| tumbleweed | I tend to not bother when I've informed debian - because th edebian maintainer of a package probably has an existing relationship with the upstream. But some packages in debian are pretty neglected. | 00:30 |
| xteejx | I see | 00:30 |
| xteejx | You know, I can't believe how helpful and patient most are here! | 00:31 |
| tumbleweed | sometimes we aren't :) I'm just busy finishing reading an article before going to bed - and it's taken a little longer than I expected :) | 00:31 |
| xteejx | sorry :) | 00:32 |
| tumbleweed | heh no problem, just finished it. night. | 00:33 |
| xteejx | tumbleweed: Goodnight, and thank you again :) | 00:33 |
| micahg | xteejx: that's one of the things I love about this community | 00:33 |
| xteejx | micahg: Definitely! | 00:33 |
| xteejx | Makes a change. Back in my old days with Fedora...nothing, you're on your own | 00:33 |
| xteejx | and I was only a user | 00:34 |
| xteejx | in debian/rules with a ftbfs package I have " override_dh_auto_install: cd examples && $(MAKE) Mlinux "LDFLAGS=-lm -lpthread" " would just adding -lHalf in there be ok or should I make an attempt to fix the source? | 00:39 |
| xteejx | Not sure where to do it if so | 00:39 |
| xteejx | Or remove that from rules and add those flags directly to the source in that file it wants? | 00:40 |
| xteejx | Plus the -lHalf | 00:41 |
| xteejx | Hmm, there's a LOT of LDFLAGS options on the Makefile | 00:42 |
| xteejx | Hmm, think I'll give up for tonight | 00:44 |
| xteejx | Night all | 00:44 |

| * ajmitch wishes LP had a few more buildds | 01:02 | |
| micahg | ajmitch: they usually do, about 10 buildds are MIA | 01:03 |
| ajmitch | yeah I know, just a bit frustrating to have a reported 9 hour queue time when I want a lib built so that its rdepends can be rebuilt :) | 01:05 |
| ajmitch | of course I forgot to add the bug # into the changelog, and remembered that about 10 seconds after uploading... | 01:06 |
| micahg | oh you mean the official buildds... | 01:06 |
| ajmitch | yes, the 3 amd64 buildds are all stuck on the same package of course :) | 01:07 |
| micahg | ajmitch: yeah, those take several hours :( | 01:08 |
| kklimonda_ | oh? are they building firefox? ;) | 01:09 |
| ajmitch | openjdk | 01:09 |
| kklimonda_ | even better :) | 01:09 |
| micahg | kklimonda_: firefox got pushed to -security today :) | 01:09 |
| ajmitch | yay, one of them finished 1 minute ago! :) | 01:09 |
| micahg | ajmitch: and another one takes its place :-/ | 01:10 |
| ajmitch | now *another* build of it starts | 01:10 |
| * ajmitch should turn to drink for solace... | 01:10 | |
| psusi | bah... if you did a full debuild, is there a way to have dput only upload the source so that lp doesn't reject the whole damn thing because it also includes the binary? | 02:18 |
| ajmitch | no, because it's referred to in the gpg-signed .changes file | 02:19 |
| ajmitch | does debuild -S really take that long? | 02:20 |
| psusi | heh, there we go... bzr buiddeb also takes -S ;) | 02:22 |
| psusi | wasn't sure about that | 02:22 |
| paultag | Hey MOTU. I'm interesting in packaging up a Ubuntu-local metapackage for Fluxbox ( and some stuff to enable people to use it as a DE ). I started some basic work on it, and it's looking pretty good so far. How hard will it be to get such a package uploaded? | 04:16 |
| paultag | It would not be a fork or anything, just a few small metapackages to make using flux nice again :) | 04:17 |
| paultag | If it helps, I'm upstream on Fluxbox in Debian. I can take changes for it up there, so we can keep everything nice | 04:17 |
| micahg | paultag: take a look at some of the -desktop packages for examples | 04:21 |
| paultag | micahg, yup. I have that working, and seeds on my people.ubuntu | 04:22 |
| paultag | micahg, I can package it, I was just wondering about policy | 04:22 |
| paultag | and logistics and such :) | 04:22 |
| ScottK | paultag: Not hard at all. | 04:22 |
| paultag | Heyya ScottK :) | 04:22 |
| ScottK | If you upload it to Debian, it'll be automatically sync'ed into Ubuntu. That's easiest. | 04:22 |
| paultag | ScottK, are the *ubuntu-* packages uploaded to Debian as well? | 04:23 |
| lifeless | not usually | 04:23 |
| ScottK | paultag: Generally we prefer to see new packages maintained in Debian. Is there a reason why it would have to be Ubuntu specific? | 04:23 |
| lifeless | but not never either | 04:23 |
| paultag | ScottK, I'm not sure. I've not looked into it. I was considering making something like fubuntu-desktop to allow people to install flux + some tools. I have not looked into how much of it is upstream, but I don't see any reason why not, except for branding. I guess branding can be dynamic from the build vendor. | 04:24 |
| paultag | I think this is worth some more thought on my part | 04:25 |
| ScottK | That way Debian can have the benefit too. | 04:25 |
| ScottK | If that turns out to be problematic, it shouldn't be very difficult to get something like that into Ubuntu directly. | 04:25 |
| paultag | That's true. | 04:25 |
| paultag | ScottK, getting through the NEW queue takes months though :( | 04:26 |
| paultag | Then again, I'm in no hurry | 04:26 |
| ScottK | Not right now. | 04:26 |
| ScottK | For a trivial package like you're talking about, it shouldn't take long. | 04:26 |
| ScottK | Licensing is the hard part of New and for a metapackage it hardly applies. | 04:27 |
| paultag | True. | 04:27 |
| paultag | and I guess germinate would work fine upstream | 04:27 |
| paultag | might have to move off my people.ubuntu and use LP or something | 04:27 |
| paultag | OK, well thanks for the talk ScottK, lifeless, micahg | 04:28 |
| ScottK | I don't think it matters. | 04:28 |
| paultag | that helps a lot | 04:28 |
| paultag | :) | 04:28 |

| debfx | ari-tczew: yeah, I have no idea why it fails though | 17:57 |
| * ari-tczew is thinking why are there a lot FTBFS... upstreams or toolchain is wrong? | 17:58 | |
| geser | toolchain is more strict than before and that hits now upstreams that weren't very strict on conformance | 18:01 |
| ari-tczew | geser: what is the purpose of get more strict toolchain? | 18:26 |
| geser | conform more to the standard | 18:27 |
| geser | some things that get used are in the grey area, and those create the "problems" | 18:28 |
| achiang | i don't know about the ubuntu decision, but in general, you can catch real programming errors if you make your toolchain stricter | 18:28 |
| ari-tczew | now we will get a huge of FTBFS this cycle | 18:29 |
| kklimonda_ | ari-tczew: we would get them anyway at some point | 18:29 |
| paultag | ari-tczew, fixing the FTBFS errors makes it better software anyway | 18:29 |
| geser | because many didn't notice that they need a symbol from an other library (it worked till now) | 18:30 |
| achiang | paultag: as long as the fixes get forwarded upstream. :) | 18:30 |
| paultag | achiang, :) | 18:30 |
| ari-tczew | paultag: okay, but admins should take into consideration one condition: human resources to fixing FTBFS | 18:34 |
| ari-tczew | I see that you are pretty optimistic, let's fix some of them. | 18:34 |
| paultag | ari-tczew, really it's a team effort. Ubuntu is not a fork like most people think about it. Remember, we have all of Ubuntu and Debian. Debian will have to fix these packages eventually, and since they have maintainers on the package, it's really not *that* crazy | 18:38 |
| paultag | ari-tczew, with DDs working, and Ubuntu MOTU sending patches upstream, it's not going to be that big of a deal | 18:38 |
| achiang | btw, how does one see the list of FTBFS? | 18:40 |
| paultag | achiang, http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/ | 18:40 |
| paultag | a bit over 200 packages | 18:41 |
| achiang | paultag: thanks | 18:41 |
| paultag | sure | 18:41 |
| ari-tczew | let's try to your confidence | 18:45 |
| ari-tczew | how can I fix this FTBFS? http://paste.ubuntu.com/517580/ | 18:45 |
| geser | check in which directory that file is and if the gcc call uses the correct -I value to find it | 18:48 |
| geser | (and if the package is in B-D at all) | 18:48 |
| ari-tczew | geser: I changed two B-D, for newest and existing packages. | 18:49 |
| geser | check if perhaps the include path has changed | 18:51 |
| ari-tczew | ehhh, too much to do, too little time to do | 18:52 |
| geser | that's normal, get used to it :) | 18:52 |
| xteejx | Hi all, what is the linker flag for /lib/libz.so.1 is it -lz ? | 18:52 |
| geser | yes | 18:52 |
| xteejx | Hmm, I tried that and now I get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz" | 18:53 |
| geser | is zlib1g-dev installed? | 18:53 |
| xteejx | I'm using pbuilder-dist, hmm it's not in the build-deps, that needs updated too :) | 18:54 |
| micahg | xteejx: did you see you got a hat tip in a Debian changelog already? | 18:56 |

| micahg | geser: as long as you're here, is the DMB meeting next Monday only going to be 1hr? | 18:59 |

| ari-tczew | bdrung: what do you think about report to lintian a new warning, where package hasn't wrapped B-D or Depends on d/control? | 19:09 |
| kklimonda_ | lintian reports bugs and violations of debian policy and it's not in policy yet, isn't it? | 19:10 |
| ari-tczew | bdrung likes wrapped B-D so I'm asking him for this :) | 19:15 |
| ari-tczew | ScottK: could you unsubscribe bug 470550 from ubuntu-release ? | 19:18 |

| xteejx | The patch I reported upstream for wwwoffle will be included in the next release! | 19:32 |

| bilalakhtar | xteejx: Good that you have forwarded the fix to debian. In the future, mention clearly on the report by commenting that you also want to get the fix in Ubuntu. Right now, that's not clear since you just subscribed sponsors. | 20:00 |
| bilalakhtar | xteejx: Also, whenever you patch a package that uses 3.0 (quilt) format, make sure that there is no debian-changes-* patch that dpkg-source is making | 20:01 |
| bilalakhtar | Looking at your debdiff, your changes are in that patch | 20:02 |
| ari-tczew | bilalakhtar: I don't agree with you. I think that it's clear when he has attached debdiff for Ubuntu. | 20:02 |
| bilalakhtar | You will need to rename the patch to something sensible | 20:02 |
| bilalakhtar | and set the appropriate DEP-3 tags | 20:02 |
| bilalakhtar | ari-tczew: That wasn't a strong point of mine, you are right | 20:02 |
| bilalakhtar | xteejx: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/ | 20:02 |
| ari-tczew | bilalakhtar: do you will take this one for sponsoring? | 20:03 |
| bilalakhtar | ari-tczew: Do you want to ? I just did a quick review, you are free to take it | 20:03 |
| ari-tczew | bilalakhtar: I can, when he did a fix for debdiff :P | 20:03 |
| ari-tczew | I have tomorrow very important exam | 20:04 |
| bilalakhtar | ari-tczew: but do take care that he makes the changes I mentioned above | 20:04 |
| bilalakhtar | ari-tczew: You have an exam tomorrow? I am busy in daily schoolwork nowadays, and so have slowed down in development | 20:04 |
| ari-tczew | bilalakhtar: nationnal exam in logistics. | 20:05 |
| bilalakhtar | oh! | 20:05 |
| bilalakhtar | okay, /me stops the talk from going too offtopic | 20:06 |

| bdrung | james_w: ping | 20:20 |
| james_w | hi bdrung | 20:20 |
| bdrung | james_w: i want to update bzr-builder. | 20:21 |
| james_w | bdrung, in natty? | 20:21 |
| bdrung | james_w: yes | 20:21 |
| james_w | great | 20:21 |
| bdrung | james_w: can i change the packaging (3.0 (quilt), dh 7)? | 20:22 |
| bdrung | and move from lp:~james-w/bzr-builder/packaging to lp:ubuntu/bzr-builder? | 20:23 |
| ajmitch | morning | 20:23 |
| bilalakhtar | Cool! Keybok just ran M-o-M again, and now the number of merges went down from 161 to 143 ~ | 20:24 |
| * ajmitch hopes that squeeze can release before DIF | 20:24 | |
| james_w | bdrung, please feel free to do the latter, and use dh 7, but please stick to v1 for now | 20:25 |
| bdrung | james_w: why? | 20:25 |
| bdrung | what speaks against 3.0 (quilt)? | 20:25 |
| james_w | bdrung, because bzr-builder doesn't support v3, so it can't be "self-hosting" | 20:25 |
| bdrung | ah, ok | 20:26 |
| micahg | james_w: are the maverick branches (i.e. lp:ubuntu/maverick/foo) frozen? | 20:26 |
| james_w | yes | 20:27 |
| bdrung | james_w: bzr-builder lacks an "rm" command. would it possible to have a "rm" command that is mapped on "bzr rm"? | 20:27 |
| micahg | james_w: ok, good, I had someone propose a merge and I requested it be proposed against lp:ubuntu/foo instead | 20:27 |
| james_w | bdrung, why do you need it? | 20:27 |
| bdrung | james_w: because the run command is not enabled on launchpad (but the rm command would be safe). | 20:28 |
| micahg | james_w: are the -proposed branches auto created on upload, or can I push one? | 20:28 |
| bilalakhtar | micahg: it is created when you upload to proposed | 20:28 |
| james_w | bdrung, yeah, I mean why do you need to rm a file | 20:29 |
| micahg | bilalakhtar: that I know, the question is what about before the first upload | 20:29 |
| james_w | micahg, you can't currently push one, they may be working on fixing that in LP right now, I'm not sure | 20:29 |
| geser | micahg: if it didn't change, you can't push to -proposed if it doesn't exist | 20:29 |
| bdrung | james_w: because i want to use lp:ubuntu/<package> and remove debian/patches | 20:29 |
| lifeless | not actively | 20:29 |
| lifeless | you can upload to a ppa to create the sourcepackagename | 20:29 |
| bilalakhtar | micahg: get all merges proposed to lp:ubuntu/maverick/foo , but I don't think you can create lp:ubuntu/maverick-proposed/* . Not sure, ask james_w | 20:29 |

| achiang | what is the process to fix a FTBFS? at this point, i've figured out the patch that needs to be written, and verified that it does build in my pbuilder. my question is: is a launchpad bug automatically created for each FTBFS that i can attach my patch to? | 20:36 |
| achiang | if it makes a difference, the package/failure is: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fossology/1.2.0-3/+build/1999835 | 20:37 |
| micahg | achiang: no, you file the bug if you're working on it | 20:37 |
| micahg | then subscribe ubuntu-sponsors once you have a good patch | 20:37 |
| micahg | s/tested/ | 20:38 |
| achiang | micahg: ah, easy enough. thanks. | 20:38 |
| achiang | micahg: should i create a debdiff style patch, with a changelog entry? or do i just create a pure code patch? | 20:39 |
| micahg | achiang: w/changelog entry makes sponsoring easier | 20:39 |
| achiang | micahg: ok, great, thank you | 20:39 |
| micahg | achiang: thank you for helping :) | 20:39 |
| achiang | micahg: yep, my goal is to become a MOTU at some point. :) | 20:40 |
| micahg | achiang: me too :) | 20:40 |
| ari-tczew | achiang: nice to hear that. good luck and have fun! | 20:42 |

| ari-tczew | achiang: well, we wait for your patches to sponsor | 20:43 |
| ari-tczew | bdrung: some time ago we've talked about uploading package automatically through syncpackage. I requested a wish: bug 664719 | 20:52 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 664719 in ubuntu-dev-tools (Ubuntu) "syncpackage should upload files automatically" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/664719 | 20:52 |
| ajmitch | it'd be nice to have soyuz do it, rather than having to use these hacks | 20:53 |
| ari-tczew | ajmitch: do you mean about sync-in-launchpad? wgrant said that this is in progress | 20:54 |
| ajmitch | yes | 20:54 |
| ari-tczew | but probably it won't support field 'sponsored by:' :/ | 20:55 |
| micahg | ari-tczew: there could be a form for it | 20:58 |
| ari-tczew | micahg: tell it to LP developers | 21:00 |
| bdrung | ari-tczew: I am against uploading the .changes file directly, because I think that the package should be tested before uploaded. | 21:01 |
| micahg | ari-tczew: when they fix the permissions and add the sync button, I'll file a bug :P | 21:01 |
| achiang | is there a variable that controls build concurrency in pbuilder? | 21:04 |
| ttx | ari-tczew: yep, commented on the bug | 21:07 |
| bdrung | james_w: does bzr-builder use python-apt? | 21:36 |
| james_w | bdrung, don't think so | 21:38 |
| james_w | bdrung, it uses python-debian which uses python-apt | 21:38 |
| bdrung | that was my perception too | 21:39 |
| ari-tczew | xteejx: there is a merge pointed to you in universe - linthesia | 21:50 |

| quidnunc | Is it a bug that r-cran-base requires libreadline-dev and libreadline6-dev but they conflict? | 23:15 |

| tumbleweed | xteejx: look at the debdiff, it contains an auto-generated quilt patch. Give the quilt patch a more sensible name, dep3 tag it, and remove all the instructions that it currently has in the header | 23:51 |
| xteejx | tumbleweed: I've no idea what that means. I'm currently quilt-ing libs.diff to change the | 23:52 |
| xteejx | src.po file in the upstream source, I assume thats it? | 23:52 |
| tumbleweed | xteejx: look at the debdiff - open it in an editor | 23:53 |
| xteejx | I have, not sure what i'm looking at | 23:53 |
| tumbleweed | xteejx: you notice that the majority of it is the description of the quilt patch. | 23:53 |
| tumbleweed | it tells you that you should replace it | 23:53 |
| xteejx | At the bottom? Yes I see that change is the same one I made in the upstream source to | 23:54 |
| xteejx | fix the ftbfs | 23:54 |
| tumbleweed | well, I should hope so, but that's not what I'm talking about. | 23:55 |
| tumbleweed | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems | 23:55 |
| xteejx | Hmm...still really confused, I can use quilt to make patches that's about it | 23:59 |
| tumbleweed | xteejx: quilt is a system to manage patches against the upstream source | 23:59 |
