| ebroder | I realize that users should never see it at all, but could we suppress the "getpwid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)" warning from plymouth/glib by just creating a bogus /etc/passwd in the initrd? | 02:02 |

| ebroder | slangasek: You're not interested in seeing this SRU'd, are you? | 02:27 |
| slangasek | ebroder: I am, actually; this issue generates a lot of bug mail noise that is obviously not helpful for fixing the underlying plymouth issues | 02:28 |

| miked | looking for php/java project to hack on | 04:14 |
| miked | very much newbie, anyone needs help? | 04:14 |
| * ebroder squints | 04:18 | |
| ebroder | So plymouth in the initrd is only enabled if the FRAMEBUFFER option is set, which is done by casper but not the default install? | 04:19 |
| slangasek | ebroder: it's only in the initramfs if we have something else in the initramfs that *needs* to prompt or show progress; otherwise it's only started post-initramfs so we can get to the real rootfs faster | 04:26 |
| * ebroder nods | 04:27 | |
| ebroder | well, i've hacked it into my initramfs, and hacked an /etc/passwd into my initramfs, and that doesn't seem to be enough to suppress the error. maybe i need an nsswitch.conf too or something? | 04:28 |
| slangasek | hmm | 04:29 |
| slangasek | probably | 04:29 |
| ebroder | (i thought libc would fall back on compat or files or something if there wasn't an nsswitch) | 04:29 |
| ebroder | hmm...nope, making a fake nsswitch.conf ("passwd: compat") and copying /lib/libnss_compat* into the initrd doesn't seem to be enough either | 04:33 |
| ebroder | ah - libnss_compat has dependencies | 04:34 |
| slangasek | nss_files is really what you want | 04:39 |
| slangasek | and leave out nss_compat, that's just overhead | 04:39 |

| corecode | hey | 12:54 |
| corecode | i've been reading for an hour already, but i can't find a simple solution for uploading a debian packge into my ppa | 12:55 |
| corecode | without having to edit the changelog | 12:55 |
| corecode | what's the preferred way to tell the system to build this in, say, maverick instead of unstable | 12:56 |
| kklimonda_ | you have to change the changelog | 12:56 |
| corecode | that seems excessive | 12:59 |
| corecode | for example bsd-mailx has version 8.1.2-0.20100314cvs-1 | 13:00 |
| corecode | there is no ubuntu either | 13:00 |
| corecode | how does that work then? | 13:00 |
| kklimonda_ | by that do you mean "how do I upload it to ubuntu ppa" ? | 13:02 |
| corecode | i don't understand | 13:03 |
| kklimonda_ | that's probably because I'm still half-asleep. | 13:04 |
| corecode | ditto :) | 13:04 |
| kklimonda_ | oh, I understand | 13:04 |
| kklimonda_ | bsd-mailx in the 8.1.2-0.20100314cvs-1 version doesn't have an ubuntu release in the changelog because it has been synced from debian directly. | 13:04 |
| kklimonda_ | but you can't do that for PPAs | 13:05 |
| corecode | but i can't do that for my ppa? | 13:05 |
| corecode | if i wanted to build versions for jaunty, karmic, lucid and maverick, i'd have to do 4 manual modifications, run a debuild, then a dput? | 13:05 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| kklimonda_ | yeah, at least for now. The problem is that you can't have the same package with the same version but different pockets in the single ppa | 13:08 |
| kklimonda_ | so you have to upload them separately anyway. | 13:08 |
| kklimonda_ | okay, I have to go for a breakfast | 13:08 |
| corecode | yes i realized that | 13:15 |
| corecode | shouldn't there be an easy way to specify the "pocket" during dput or debuild? | 13:15 |
| corecode | without having to change the changelog | 13:15 |
| StevenK | Nope, the pocket is figured from the .changes file | 13:16 |
| corecode | ok | 13:16 |
| corecode | so, can that pocket be changed when creating the changes file? | 13:16 |
| corecode | i'm quite certain i saw a way to do that some time ago | 13:17 |
| corecode | but i can't find it, of course | 13:17 |
| StevenK | No, dpkg-genchanges can't do that | 13:20 |
| corecode | that's a bit unfortunate, isn't it? | 13:35 |
| corecode | not sure i understand completely - do i upload a source package or a binary package? | 13:39 |
| === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan | ||

| corecode | i see | 13:47 |
| corecode | thanks | 13:47 |
| corecode | so it says that packages in debian sid will automatically appear in ubuntu | 13:48 |
| corecode | is that so? | 13:48 |
| corecode | or only for packages that already exist in ubuntu | 13:48 |
| tumbleweed | corecode: the archive admins will periodically review new pcakages not yet in ubuntu and sync them in | 13:50 |
| corecode | aha | 13:50 |
| Copernic__ | is it easy to program something in Ubuntu? I'm used to Java, did do some C++, but thats 10 years ago :) | 13:57 |
| Copernic__ | for ubuntu* | 13:57 |
| corecode | i don't think that it makes any difference to any other unix | 13:57 |
| Copernic__ | I guess I should just try :) | 13:57 |
| corecode | type your code, compile, run | 13:57 |
| Copernic__ | corecode, I was thinking about implementing this http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/24525/ | 13:59 |
| corecode | i see | 14:00 |
| corecode | good luck | 14:00 |
| Copernic__ | hehe | 14:00 |
| Copernic__ | I never programmed something for linux before | 14:01 |
| corecode | i honestly think that idea is silly at best | 14:02 |
| corecode | and i have no experience in gui design or development | 14:02 |
| Copernic__ | corecode, I came to this idea becaus the apparmor profile for firefox is disabled | 14:02 |
| Copernic__ | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Firefox%20AppArmor%20profile | 14:03 |
| Copernic__ | I thought that users should be able to change this if they wanted to | 14:03 |
| corecode | they can, can't they | 14:03 |
| Copernic__ | it's something only a technical user would do | 14:04 |
| corecode | of course | 14:04 |
| Copernic__ | haha you don't see the problem do you :) | 14:05 |
| Copernic__ | the general public isn't technical | 14:05 |
| corecode | right | 14:05 |
| corecode | so they won't know about apparmor | 14:05 |
| corecode | or what it means | 14:05 |
| Copernic__ | indeed, and I was under the impression that apparmor is pretty important, because if some security threat is knocking at your door, it probably came with firefox or evolution | 14:06 |
| corecode | quite likely, yes | 14:06 |
| === sanchaz-away is now known as sanchaz | ||
| Copernic__ | corecode, thats when I was starting to worry about the security for the general public :) | 14:08 |
| corecode | then you need to fix it so that the default will work | 14:09 |
| Copernic__ | corecode, I'm guessing they tried that | 14:09 |

| corecode | how do people do automated uploads? | 14:22 |

| kklimonda_ | corecode: I have a separate account (with separate key) for automated uploads. | 14:24 |
| corecode | and that key doesn't have a passphrase | 14:25 |
| kklimonda_ | and now I don't do that anyway since launchpad has gained the ability to create nightly builds. | 14:25 |
| kklimonda_ | right | 14:25 |
| corecode | from bzr branches? | 14:27 |
| corecode | how can it do a nightly build? i thought the changes file has to be updated | 14:27 |
| kklimonda_ | you can read more about recipes here: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/Recipes | 14:28 |
| kklimonda_ | the idea is that launchpad branches your code (along with the debian/ subdirectory) and then bumps the changelog for every release. | 14:29 |

| micahg | pitti: well, chrisccoulson has done most of the work already for it, but AFAIK, upstream isn't even doing this yet, so it's a nice to have, but not critical | 16:40 |
| micahg | pitti: we'll get a start speed increase if we can get this done though, so that might impact it as well | 16:40 |
| pitti | micahg: thanks; are you okay with being the approver for that one? | 16:41 |
| micahg | pitti: well, if you like, seems a little weird though | 16:41 |
| pitti | micahg: for the purpose of peer review; I can be the approver, too, but I'm afraid I know nothing about PGO | 16:42 |
