gmcquillanIs there any plan to backport changes to beanstalkd from 1.4.6 to 1.4.3 for the lucid repos?00:33
gmcquillan1.4.3 suffers from a fairly significant service vulnerability.00:33
persiagmcquillan, There's little chance that anyone who knows the answer to that is about.00:38
persiaBut, I'll happily show you how to find the answer:00:38
gmcquillanpersia: Ah, great, tahnks.00:38
gmcquillanBeanstalkd's changelog doesn't exist.00:39
persia1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/beanstalkd/+bugs shows all the bugs we're tracking for beanstalkd00:39
gmcquillanCool. I'll look there.00:39
persiaSince there is nothing listed, there's a good chance that nobody involved in Ubuntu is paying attention to the issues you are talking about.00:39
gmcquillanThat's a distinct possibility.00:40
gmcquillanI'll file a bug.00:40
gmcquillanThank you.00:40
persia2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/lucid-backports/+bugs shows all the stuff currently in review for backporting to lucid (as distinct from cherrypicking bugfixes)00:40
persiaSince beanstalk isn't there, it looks like if there are plans to backport, they aren't advanced enough to be public yet (which probably means they don't exist, as the first step in backporting is usually to file a bug)00:41
ebrodergmcquillan: you said vulnerability right? persia: wouldn't that be more of an issue for MOTU SWAT than backports?00:42
persiaebroder, I'm just pointing at resources to find out about plans to do stuff.  Yes, if there is a security issue, and nobody else does anything about it, MOTU SWAT tries to deal.00:42
gmcquillanWell, I'll file a bug and go from there.00:44
persiagmcquillan, It's worth noting that there's not much history of active Ubuntu interest in beanstalkd, which means that if you want it fixed quickly, you'd do best to be the person fixing it.  Filing a bug (especially a security bug) will get attention, but likely not as much as you can provide directly.00:44
gmcquillanI'd love to help, but I've never made a deb before, and a cursory look makes it seem really time consuming.00:45
gmcquillanI can definitely give it a shot, though.00:45
m4they, is there a preferred way to switch versions of gcc? eg. from 4.4 to 4.5? ive got it installed but the symlinks in /usr/bin still point to gcc-4.4. is there something like 'update-alternatives' for this?00:46
keesm4t: usually you just set CC=gcc-4.4 or whatever and do your build00:46
m4twill that use cpp-4.5, etc. then?00:47
keesm4t: yeah, each gcc is versioned to use it's matching tools00:47
m4tkees thanks00:47
keesm4t: np00:47
m4tfor background on why i'd even bother... ive tried compiling 2.6.35.8 and 2.6.36, but neither will boot00:48
m4tdidnt see this issue with 2.6.35.7 compiled on 10.04 (which i'm running now)00:49
persiagmcquillan, The hardest part for that sort of thing is just preparing the cherrypick patch.  There's heaps of folk who can lead you through the process of getting a patch applied.00:49

m4ti have been trying for many hours to figure this out; an identical kernel source tree, with identical .config, and identical kernel-package, compiles+boots from lucid. try the same thing on maverick, it compiles, but hangs during boot05:08
m4ti've tried both gcc 4.4 and 4.505:08
ebroderm4t: what kernel version? you can't generally use an older kernel on a newer release05:08
m4t2.6.35.8, 2.6.36, and 2.6.35.7 all hang in the same spot05:09
ebroderinteresting. well, that exhausts my expertise on kernel hangs05:09
m4tright after the first ehci device is setup. if i do things like cmdline=nousb acpi=off pnpbios=off05:09
m4tit'll just hang in a different place, like after the ps2 keyboard is initialized05:09
m4ti'm guessing its somewhere in the toolchain05:10

pitticjwatson: depends on whether we want to make 9.0 the default version in natty13:17
cjwatsonno, please accept it - it will build against -updates13:17
pittithere are no packaged server-side extensions yet13:17
cjwatsonthe current version in -updates is broken, so I'd like to get that through first13:17
pittiso I'm still a bit hesitant13:17
cjwatsonunless -26 is going to make it to -updates very soon13:17
pitticjwatson: -26 will still say in -proposed for a fair while; it's a huge update13:17
pitticjwatson: alright, thanks for heads-up13:18
pitticjwatson: psql> alternative is to have an ubuntu specific version of 9.0 without the client-side libs13:18
cjwatsonok, then it should still be possible to build d-i against -25, since it looks at all of -security, -updates, and -proposed and picks the newest for the selected ABI13:18
cjwatsonpitti: psql> ok, I have no strong feelings on it, I was just looking at current failures processing new-source13:19
pittiI'd rather avoid having two major versions in main13:19

seb128does anybody know if there is a legal reason the copyright file needs to have a list of copyright holders?16:22
seb128or another non legal reason out of having the debian policy saying so?16:22
seb128or said different, "is there any reason we couldn't stop doing that"?16:22
DktrKranzseb128: usually, the license text itself (i.e. you are allowed to do stuff if you put the name of the holders)16:25
DktrKranzthis is especially stated in BSD and Expat16:26
seb128is there anything which stop us to autogenerate them from some grepping?16:27
seb128that would be accurate compared to the current ones, 99% of packages don't maintain the list of copyright owner16:27
DktrKranzas long as it's accurate, I don't think so16:27
seb128they got right on first upload and then nobody cares updating them16:27
seb128well the point is that what we have now is nowhere to be accurate16:27
DktrKranzIIRC, cdbs has some kind of check for copyright holders16:28
DktrKranzit will prevent packages from building, but I'm not sure how it works16:29
seb128which nobody seems to use, or at least I've never seen it used16:29
DktrKranzyeah, I've always seen it in cdbs maintainer packages only :)16:29
DktrKranzother than this, we do some check when some packages need new overrides, but that happens for a very low percentage of packages16:30
cjwatsonI think "99%" is probably wrong.  I'd say considerably more than 1% of packages only ever have one copyright holder. :-)16:31
=== alecu is now known as alecu-lunch
DktrKranzmaybe it's more than 1%, but indeed it's not so common16:32
seb128cjwatson, right, make that 60% if you want16:32
DktrKranzunless you call yourself python*, or kernel*16:32
seb128still it seems we spend time getting the first list but don't update them16:32
seb128so either we need it there and accurate and we have an issue16:33
seb128or we don't and we waste time16:33
mr_pouitoh, I think it's very often updated for new major releases16:33
DktrKranzfirst time is mandatory, or you get reject. subsequent uploads, it depends who uploads what16:33
cjwatsonISTR this was discussed at painful length on ... was it debian-policy? ... a few months back16:34
cjwatsonmight be worth finding and reviewing that16:34
DktrKranzI'm pretty sure nobody would sue me if I forgot to mention a couple of holders, but that can't be the rule16:35
seb128well, do you think the current manual outdated list is buggy over what an automatic grep would be?16:35
DktrKranzmost of the times a manual grep/licensecheck is fine, but that won't work for perl packages, I guess (they have license info at the bottom of each file)16:37
DktrKranzand, sometimes, is not so accurate in case there are more holders, on multiple lines16:37

cjwatsongeser: I think the best answer is "irregularly"17:22
cjwatsonI haven't personally done any this cycle yet, though other admins may have17:22
geserok, do they also include packages with Ubuntu delta or do those need seperate removal requests?17:23
cjwatsonit's an option in the script17:24
geseras I'm never sure when I should file a removal bug or just simply wait for the next removal import17:24
cjwatsonif you care about particular packages, please feel free to file bugs17:24
geserthanks17:25
segv`Quick question, trying to figure out the best way to handle this, We're setting up about 50 LTS 10.04 servers and want to create a local repo, but in doing so, we're only going to ever need the 64bit versions of binaries, any of you have a simple solution or recommendation on how to handle this?17:31
segv`figured the dev guys would know a thing or to, I can redirect that to -server if need be.17:31
cjwatsonyou could use debmirror with the --arch=amd64 option17:36
smoserkees, or cjwatson , if either of you are moderator on technical board mailing list could you let my quarantined messages through ?17:39
segv`cjwatson: ah17:39
didrocksbarry: hey, any idea what to do when we get an error in executing dh_python2: E: dh_python2:146: you most probably have to build extension for python2.7. (I've tried to tweak debian/pyversions or XS-Python-Version without any luck and don't have a lot of insight for dh_python)17:43
keessmoser: done17:44
smoserthanks.17:45
keesnp :)17:45
tumbleweeddidrocks: which package17:45
didrockstumbleweed: compiz-config-python17:47
didrockstumbleweed: was working well (0.9) on maverick, but since I try to build it on natty…17:47
tumbleweeddidrocks: assuming you mean compizconfig-python, it builds fine for me (and uses dh_pysupport, not dh_python2)17:56
didrockstumbleweed: yeah, you're not building 0.9 I guess17:56
tumbleweedpresumably :)17:57
didrockstumbleweed: the upstream build system totally changed. So I moved to dh_python2 and now, I have this build issue (which was working fine in maverick, just appeared in natty)17:58
didrocksso something changed as we have python2.7 in natty as well, but I don't know enough about dh_python2 and my search on the web was unsuccessful to know what's going on with this error17:59
tumbleweedyeah I see they are now using distutils17:59
tumbleweedmy guess from th eerror is that you aren't building for python2.7, as it says17:59
tumbleweedcan I see your rules?17:59
didrocksapart that I can skip it with --no-guessing-versions17:59
didrockstumbleweed: sure, pushed at lp:~compiz/compizconfig-python/ubuntu18:00
ScottKdidrocks: Are all the build-depends rebuilt for python2.7 already?18:02
tumbleweeddidrocks: I'd drop the pyversions, you have a XS-PV as well. XB-PV can also be dropped.18:02
ScottKI keep running into that problem.18:02
tumbleweeddidrocks: th eproblem is your override_dh_auto_install, you only install 2.618:02
tumbleweedwhy do you need that override?18:02
ScottKAnd we actually prefer X-P-V to XS-P-V now.18:03
tumbleweederr it overrides build too18:03
didrockstumbleweed: you're right, totally forgot about it :)18:03
didrockstumbleweed: well, it's needed because dh_auto_install doesn't do the right thing18:03
didrockstumbleweed: I guess it's confused as the soft as some c code as well18:04
tumbleweeddidrocks: that's suprising, did they screw up thier setup.py that badly?18:04
didrockstumbleweed: well, possibly, but apart from a complicate setup.py, it seems a "normal one"18:04
didrockshence the fact I have to tweak it18:04
=== zyga is now known as zyga-food
didrockstumbleweed: about pyversion vs XS-PV and XB-PV, is there a doc for dh_python2?18:05
didrocksI stopped with pycentral :)18:05
tumbleweedit has a manpage18:05
tumbleweed(that's about it)18:05
ScottKdidrocks: The current python-policy describes this too.18:06
didrocksyeah, that doesn't explain if we need to drop pyversion and XB-PV :)18:06
tumbleweedre XS-PV, XB-PV you'd have to look at debian-python list archives18:06
didrocksScottK: oh really? I'll take a look :)18:06
ScottKtumbleweed: Also in Policy18:06
didrocksok, works better once built for python 2.7 :)18:07
tumbleweedScottK: the python-policy on www.d.o still says you should have XB-PV etc18:07
didrockstumbleweed: ScottK: thanks!18:07
didrockstumbleweed: I'll check with upstream and look at the code to see why dh_python2 is confused about the setup.py18:08
ScottKtumbleweed: Look in the latest package. Not sure how the one on www.d.o gets updated.18:08
tumbleweedScottK: yeah now that you mentioned it, I seem to remember it being updated in the package18:08
ScottKdidrocks: We need cases where dh_python2 has trouble to extend it, so please don't work around it.18:08
ScottKdidrocks: barry will be glad to fix it for you.18:08
didrocksScottK: yeah, I'll add to my "next week" TODO list18:09
didrocksjust trying to get it updated for now, still not uploaded18:09
tumbleweedScottK: cython hasn't been built for 2.7 yet, and debhelper was using th emakefile rather than setu.py. Memoed didrocks18:18
ScottKThanks.18:19

jdstrandScottK: hey, so I see boost-mpi-source1.42 patiently waiting to be deNEWd. I read the 'Boost library proposal for Natty' and it seems that it is ok to deNEW (pending review), but I wanted to ask you to be sure19:35
ScottKjdstrand: Yes.  Please.  I didn't ping anyone since there's no rush, but that's one of the blocker for boost1.40 removal.19:35

shadeslayerslangasek: if your free, can you move libutempter-dev to main in lucid? its in main in maverick20:18
slangasekshadeslayer: er, why would I do that?20:26
slangasekshadeslayer: we reconcile the archive sections of packages before we release, and don't change them afterwards20:26
shadeslayeroh.. so it cant be done?20:26
slangasekwell, tell me what problem you're trying to solve :)20:27
shadeslayerslangasek: im trying to build kde4libs in lucid pbuilder and it complains that it wants libutempter-dev for building, so i can either drop that dep or get it moved to main, id like the latter :D20:28
