Laneyanyone have any objections to merging broder's u-d-t branch? bdrung? tumbleweed?02:18
Laneyit will need to be a divergance for debian02:18
Laneyor dpkg-vendored in rules02:18
bdrungLaney: yes. i like to see ubuntu-qa-tools in Debian NEW first.09:23
RhondaSo I guess the slides from this UDS session makes my classroom session offer obsolete: http://agateau.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/git-for-bzr-users/10:28
nigelbRhonda: the class is still worth taking, not everyone are at UDS :)10:37
RhondaYes, but they can read the slides themself.10:38
RhondaIs there much benefit in c&p from the slides into the IRC channel?10:38
nigelbYes, queestions10:38
RhondaFeared you'd say that. ;)10:38
nigelbheh10:39
ari-tczewcan I do small QA things in QA upload like bump Standards-Version?10:40
ari-tczew(in DEbian10:40
tumbleweedari-tczew: yes, that's part of keeping a package up to date10:41
RhondaWhat I heard from a specific release team member they don't like such changes during the freeze. On the other hand, a lot of packages got approved without mentioning that, so it's a tough call.10:42
ari-tczewtumbleweed: what about packaging new upstream releases?10:42
ari-tczewas QA10:42
tumbleweedari-tczew: if necessary, but you should consider adopting the package10:42
Rhondaari-tczew: What did you refer to with (in Debian)? Are you thinking of getting these changes into Debian, or into Ubuntu?10:43
ari-tczewtumbleweed: ah, then not. I'm main interested in forward patches from Ubuntu, if package is QA.10:43
ari-tczewRhonda: from Ubuntu to Debian.10:43
ari-tczewand I need a sponsor (DD).10:43
bilalakhtarari-tczew: hey! I would request you to be a bit patient when it comes to fixing FTBFS10:43
RhondaNew upstream versions shouldn't get uploaded during the freeze to not ruin the possibility to get updates into squeeze.10:44
bilalakhtarari-tczew: I just merged something, FTBFS came, and I had the fix10:44
bilalakhtarari-tczew: I am talking about package e1610:44
bilalakhtarand I uploaded the version with FTBFS to Ubuntu10:44
ari-tczewtumbleweed: I have to set-up my pbuilder-dist to build on sid.10:44
tumbleweedRhonda: well they could go into experimental, but that's just weird for an orphaned package10:44
ari-tczewI remember that you gave me some tips, but now I couldn't find these in logs.10:44
bilalakhtarand when I went to upload the fixed version, I noticed you already have uplaoded it10:44
ari-tczewbilalakhtar: heh, are you upset?10:45
Rhondatumbleweed: Right, but I'm not sure wether ari-tczew is targetting at experimental.10:45
bilalakhtarari-tczew: This is the 3rd time this happened in the last week10:45
bilalakhtarThis is the first time it happened because of ari-tczew , Previously, coolbhavi was to blame10:45
bilalakhtarSo what I want to say is10:45
ari-tczewRhonda: no, I want forward only patches from Ubuntu (bug fixes)10:45
RhondaAnd I'm not too sure if preparing updates for natty through debian experimental is really the way to go. It's an effort in the wrong direction.10:45
bilalakhtarLeave FTBFS fixing to the previous uploader and work on it ONLY and _ONLY_ and *ONLY* if he is unresponsive for 3+ days10:46
ari-tczewRhonda: cjwatson did a QA upload when I asked him. to unstable.10:46
tumbleweedbilalakhtar: um, why aren't you picking up these failures before upload?10:46
Rhondaari-tczew: keep it to bugfixes then only please, to get chances high that they will get accepted into squeeze, too.10:46
bilalakhtartumbleweed: Hm, the build succeeded on my pbuilder, later I realised I had built it on maverick10:46
ari-tczewRhonda: sure, only bugfixes. no new features.10:47
bilalakhtartumbleweed: my first upload mistake :(10:47
Rhondaari-tczew: standards-version in the control file is just a comment for most things anyway, but release team members have different opinion and you don't want to trigger any responses based on that.10:47
tumbleweedbilalakhtar: :)10:47
ari-tczewbilalakhtar: you build on maverick for natty? rofl10:47
* bilalakhtar deletes his maverick chroot10:47
bilalakhtardone, now I am on the _SAFE_ side10:47
ari-tczewbilalakhtar: I'm not your enemy, but if you're doing this... sorry man10:47
bilalakhtarari-tczew: no problem :D10:47
Rhondaari-tczew: So new upstream versions are definitely out of scope for the time being, unless they would also during regular times make a good target for experimental.10:48

ari-tczewI'd like to QA upload this one.10:49
bilalakhtarari-tczew: I think DDs recommend RC bugfixes only now?10:49
ari-tczewIt's available as remaining merge. I'll prepare debdiff and look for sponsor, instead merging. Then clear sync.10:49
bilalakhtarari-tczew: Good luck in uploading to Debian10:49
ari-tczewbilalakhtar: I gave debian bug number, didn't I?10:49
bilalakhtarari-tczew: but that's not RC10:50
tumbleweedari-tczew: um, it looks like smarty is no longer orphaned and has an active maintainer who's rejected this change for squeeze.10:50
ari-tczewbilalakhtar: o_O and? Bug-fixes upload and they don't want these things?10:50
bilalakhtarari-tczew: I don't think so, ask experienced DDs like Rhonda10:50
ari-tczewRhonda is DD?10:51
bilalakhtarari-tczew: Well, that bug is about co-ordination with Ubuntu, and something which isn't important from a DD point of view10:51
ari-tczewtumbleweed: maint    Debian QA Group10:51
tumbleweedari-tczew: read the bug you just posed10:51

bilalakhtarShe -> Rhonda10:52
RhondaSince over 10 years now. :)10:54
ari-tczewtumbleweed: I didn't find any words like 'PLEASE DON'T DO THIS'10:54
Rhondaari-tczew: See, and the mess in that smarty bug is reason to not carry the gap along but rather to get rid of it, right from the start. :)10:54
tumbleweedari-tczew: "Obviously we10:55
tumbleweedcannot have this changed for Squeeze anymore"10:55
ari-tczewok, I changed my decision. I won't prepare patches for QA packages.10:56
ari-tczew:]10:56
ari-tczewI'll merge package insetad.10:56

vishtumbleweed: hmm! i thought you were attending UDS ... now sure why i thought that … had you in the "people to meet and thank" list .. ;)11:24
tumbleweedvish: well thanks anyway :)11:25
bilalakhtarari-tczew: Merged, now test-building the package11:40

bilalakhtarThey are automatically generated by configure11:41
bilalakhtarSo even if they carry Debian data, configure willl automatically modify it accordingly11:41
bilalakhtarBTW, does anyone know how to sync a package using UDD?11:42
ari-tczewbilalakhtar: UDD?11:44
ari-tczewsync?11:44
ari-tczewI think that UDD is related to branches.11:45

ari-tczewbilalakhtar: can I ignore also changes in aclocal.m4 ?11:58
bilalakhtarari-tczew: yes you can11:59
ari-tczewtumbleweed: again about smarty: it might not to be included in squezee, or it never be applied?12:01
LaneyJust mail a diff to the release team in advance of uploading12:56
Laneys'what I've been doing12:56
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
tumbleweedari-tczew: it looks like Thijs (who's taken over that package) is happy to make the change, but after squeeze releases13:30
ari-tczewI'm confused. persia and Rhonda said 'better help Debian in release instead merging packages' and today I got to know, that only RC bug fixes are welcome.13:48
tumbleweedari-tczew: helping deiban to release means helping them fixing RC bugs13:48
ari-tczewtumbleweed: no, they said forwarding/applying (help) patches in Debian13:49
tumbleweedthat is often also helpful, but it's up to the maintainer and release team whether a patch is acceptable now or not.13:50
micahgari-tczew: perhaps they meant where we have an RC fix in UBuntu already13:50
mr_pouitno, they said that forwarding patches to debian is good, but that if you do qa uploads, they should only fix rc bugs13:50
Rhondaari-tczew: Yes, fixing RC bugs does help the release indeed.13:50
ari-tczewhmmm. if QA package has got FTBFS in Ubuntu, we have fixed it, can I QA it to Debian?13:51
micahgmr_pouit: I need to talk to you next week about helping with xubuntu-dev stuff :)13:51
Rhondaari-tczew: The FTBFS does potential affect Debian when switching gcc (or whatever toolchain part does do the FTBFS in Ubuntu) so yes, I'd consider those appropriate. I'm though no release team member.13:52
micahgFTBFS due to our new toolchain probably should be fwded, but at a lower severity than RC since Debian shouldn't be affected until Wheezy13:53
ari-tczewRhonda: So what's the way of QA upload ATM? Theoretically: I have a debdiff, you as a DD want to sponsor it. do I need to ACK?13:54
mr_pouitmicahg: ah, good :P13:54
Rhondaari-tczew: You just would need to convince me that it makes sense to get the change into squeeze. Then either you or me (still theoretically) would have to open a bugreport against release.debian.org package for unblock request with convincing information why this is improving the state of the package in squeeze.13:55
mr_pouitRhonda: I'm not sure about the appropriateness, e.g. for ftbfs with binutils-gold, the severity seems to be 'minor' in the bts...13:56
ari-tczewlol, too much to do, I don't have a time13:57
Rhondamr_pouit: Hmm, right actually. It will get raised after the release.13:57
mr_pouityeah, I think so13:58
RhondaSome people are heated on too high severity, so rather listen to mr_pouit :)13:58
tumbleweedalhtough I'm pretty sure one of the gold-related patches I forwarded resulted in an upload, but that may have been experimental13:58
* geser usually forwards patches with normal severity and let the Debian maintainer figure the right severity out13:59
ari-tczewgeser: we talk about QA packages13:59
geserI do it there too as I usually don't look who is the maintainer14:00
Rhondaari-tczew: What's the main difference with QA packages for you?14:01
ari-tczewRhonda: reduce the time for contact with maintainer14:01
ari-tczewonly contact with DD14:01
ari-tczew$DD = sponsor14:01

paultagHey MOTU. I've got a package pending in the NEW queue in Debian. It won't make it in until after Deb freeze. Can I upload to REVU for inclusion in -N ?21:33
borealisHello, I'm a newcomer to the ubuntu packager stuff. I'm also one of the crew in the qtjambi group, and I want to get some guidance into how to get QtJambi back in the official ubuntu repos again.21:48
borealisI was thinking that a good start for me would be to look at the package files for the old qtjambi packages.21:49
tumbleweedborealis: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtjambi <- "get it back in? it's there"21:51
borealisOh, really? Well, it's based on pretty old stuff.21:52
borealisWe have reached 4.7 on QtJambi.21:52
bdrunghow do i get apport to file a bug with the crash information attached? please answer in bug #668508.21:52

borealistubleweed: How do I proceed to update those packages?21:53
borealisI'm a total newbie to this business, I'm afraid, so if someone is willing to lead me a bit by the hand, I am willing to update that stuff.21:54
tumbleweedborealis: well the preferred way is to get them into debian and actively maintain them there, but short term: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/PackageUpdate21:56
borealisHmm, do I need to be an active debian user to do that? Which IRC forum do I need to get in touch with to get some guides there?22:01
tumbleweedborealis: yeah, that probably helps. There are a bunch of packages like your one in Ubuntu but not debian, and they tend to languish (like this one). Debian's stronger maintainership seems to help22:03
