tumbleweedmicahg, ScottK: err yes, you aren't wrong. I guess I'm more permissive of them than I should be and in this case it was unwarranted. Should I ask for a queue rejection?07:25

dholbachgeser, done09:04
geserdirecthex: have you an idea what caused the FTBFS in dbus-sharp? (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/58627499/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-i386.dbus-sharp_0.7.0-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz)10:25
directhexgeser: yes, ricotz has a patch but we haven't had time to apply it10:25
directhexit's a bashism10:25
ScottKtumbleweed: I can reject it.  What package?11:32
tumbleweedScottK: mongodb11:32
ScottKtumbleweed: Rejected.  You can reupload using the same version number when ready.11:34

rhleehi guys, I was wondering how to add a page on the ubuntu wiki?16:23
Picirhlee: Go to a page that doesn't exist and it should ask you if you want to create it.16:26

shane4ubuntuok, I have a ppa enabled, successfully built and uploaded my package, and I have a question, the package I built now is specified only for Maverick, I assume that is from the changelog file, how can I specify for more than one or all of the ubuntu editions?17:12
Bachstelzeshane4ubuntu: change maverick to lucid/hardy/whatever in the changelog, it's also a good idea to use different revision numbers (e.g. ~lucidppa1 instead of just ~ppa1)17:14
Bachstelzeafaik you can't just upload a package once and have it build on all releases17:15
shane4ubuntuBachstelze, ok, thanks!17:18
SpamapStumbleweed: pong.. I am not sure what to do about this SRU17:31
ScottKSpamapS: The part where you added a patch system: don't do that.17:31
SpamapShonestly I'm pretty much done trying to do anything with MongoDB anymore. Its unbelievable the amount of effort required to change anything that links to xulrunner.17:31
micahgSpamapS: do you want me to finish it?17:32
SpamapSmicahg: I'll finish what I've started. I'm just frustrated with the level of detail required to get it right when if xulrunner had a real library, this would be a non issue.17:33
micahgSpamapS: well, it doesn't seem to be a priority for Mozilla ATM, maybe after 4.0 is released we can get it revisited17:33
SpamapSScottK: shouldn't that be mentioned here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates17:35
ScottKSpamapS: I'd have thought wanting a minimal diff would cover it.17:35
* micahg remembers seeing it in the docs somehwere17:36
ScottKWe'd actually prefer people not add a patch system even for the development release except in coordination with the Debian maintainer.17:36
ScottKIt falls under "don't monkey with the build system Debian set up".17:36
SpamapSScottK: right, so the debian maintainer added it in 1.4...17:39
micahgThis is the closest I found,https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#Patching%20Other%20People%27s%20Packages, it used to be clearer17:39
micahgSpamapS: but we don't have it in Lucid, so you can't add it17:40
SpamapSSo I ask again, should I not have a patch, or patch directly in the debian diff?17:41
* SpamapS first asked in the merge proposal17:41
micahgSpamapS: if we end up updating mongodb to a later version due to the xulrunner change, we'll get a patch system with it most likely, but barring that, we can't add patch systems to Debian packages17:41
micahgSpamapS: patch the source directly17:41
ScottKSpamapS: Make the changes inline (in the upstream code) and then it will appear correctly in the debdiff.17:42
ScottK(as micahg says)17:42
SpamapSOk, easy enough to rectify.17:44
zulwhy the hell is mongodb using xulrunner?18:02
tumbleweedzul: presumably for mozjs18:04
highvoltagedholbach: heyo!18:07
dholbachhighvoltage, in a call18:08
highvoltagedholbach: ok, if you have some time give me a poke, would like to talk about Gediminas's packages some time18:08
dholbachhighvoltage, can you reply to the emails?18:09
dholbachemail18:09
highvoltagedholbach: I can, it's the content that I need some clarification on. is there any exceptions that can be made, or should I tell him to follow the usual process for all 84 packages?18:10
kklimonda_ScottK: if there is a bug in backported package should the bug be reported against ${release}-backports AND package, only ${release}-backports or only package?18:11
ScottKkklimonda_: Only against $(release)-backports unless the bug also applies to the development release of Ubuntu, then both.18:11
ScottKThe preferred solution in these cases is a new backport.18:12
dholbachhighvoltage, can you follow up and I reply to it tomorrow?18:13
dholbachhighvoltage, I'm a bit busy right now18:13
highvoltagedholbach: ok18:14
dholbachthanks highvoltage18:25

ajmitchmicahg: congratulations :)20:13
ari-tczewset topic for him! glory for micahg!20:13
micahgajmitch: thanks :)20:13
micahgari-tczew: thank you20:13
ari-tczewmicahg: that was ironic...20:13
micahgari-tczew: PM?20:14
ari-tczewmicahg: do you want me to pick up?20:14
micahgari-tczew: ?20:15
ari-tczewmicahg: nevermind... come on20:16
sebnermicahg: congrats :)20:35
psusieh?  what are the congradulations for?20:37
ScottKHe is MOTU.20:38
* sebner waves at ScottK :)20:38
* ebroder suspected that, but irclogs.u.c is lagging20:38
ebroderCongrats!20:39
micahgsebner: thanks20:39
psusiohh, congrats20:39
micahgebroder: psusi: thanks20:39
ebroder(bought time, too :-P)20:39
psusinow do you feel like sponsoring the revival of the defrag package? ;)20:39
* micahg would suggest getting it back in Debian first20:40
ScottKari-tczew: I think if you have an issue with someone, random complaints during a DMB meeting "<ari-tczew> I don't trust that he will work on clean up sponsors queue" are not a very good way to deal with them.  That and I don't understand "<ari-tczew> micahg is building his career by reporting on another folks from IRC rofl" at all, but it sounds childish.20:41
micahgbdrung: re sponsors queue, currently main -> 80, universeish -> 5, do you want me to apply for core-dev? ;)20:45
bdrungmicahg: yes :P20:46
* micahg reminds chrisccoulson to go for core-dev ^^ :)20:46
chrisccoulsonheh :)20:47
bdrungmicahg: keeping the universe queue empty is easy. get enough people doing sponsoring.20:47
micahgbdrung: k, I'll try to sponsor at least 1 per week (more if time permits)20:49
ebrodermicahg: honestly, the universe sponsoring queue seems to be staying short enough that you might have a hard time finding 1 per week needing sponsoring20:50
micahgebroder: well, there's usually a handful available at any one time when I've checked20:51
* micahg has plenty to do though for the Firefox/Xulrunner transition this cycle20:52
JontheEchidnamicahg: congrats20:53
micahgJontheEchidna: thanks20:53
tumbleweedmicahg: sorry I missed the meeting, congrats :)20:53
micahgtumbleweed: no problem, thanks20:54
ari-tczewScottK: do you want to talk about it?21:00
ScottKari-tczew: We can if you want.  I'm often of the impression that you are trying to be productive, but don't realize how your comments appear to others, so I mention it.  If it's worth discussing, I'm willing to do it.21:01
ari-tczewScottK: I would, but today I'm busy busy busy busy.21:02
ScottKOK.  Let me know if/when you have time and want to discuss it further.21:03
Rhondamicahg: grats. Thought you were MOTU for a while already. But then, others thought the same about me. ;)21:07
ScottKThat's usually a strong sign it's time to apply.21:08
micahgRhonda: thanks21:08
* ScottK reminds kklimonda he's owing a python-visual fix (including the stack under it).21:08
kklimondaScottK: actually I'm working on it right now :)21:11
ScottKkklimonda: Excellent.21:11
bdrungis it safe to kill gvfsd and restart it?21:17
kklimondabdrung: yes21:19
kklimondabdrung: you will loose all connections but it won't break your desktop :)21:19
bdrungthanks kklimonda - that gives me 2 GiB back without a reboot21:20
paddy_I tried to tell bzr about my launchpad account but it says I have no ssh keys, it's right but I have an openPGP key instead, can I not use this?21:20
=== hanska is now known as dapal
kklimondapaddy_: no, you need a separate ssh key21:28
paddy_kklimonda, thanks21:36
kklimondawhoa, this optipng stuff is really slow21:54
kklimondaI shouldn't have pkgbinarymangler installed in pbuilder..21:55
geserI'm not sure but can't you disable this one through the config files?22:11
achiangmicahg: congrats!22:29
micahgachiang: thanks22:52
paddy_when I bzr branch I get Agent admitted failure to sign using the key. what is wrong?23:06
kklimondaScottK: When you have some time can you take a look at https://github.com/kklimonda/atkmm1.6 ?23:19
kklimondaScottK: I also got gtkmm and gtkglext built, I'll see if I can get python-visual to build now23:20
ScottKOK.  Great.23:21
ScottKkklimonda: So in terms of the .la file problem, this is just a matter of rebuilding (plus you are making some other improvements)?23:24
ScottKIt still needs a debian/changelog entry.23:24
kklimondaScottK: yes but gtkglextmm won't build with gtkmm < 2.22.023:24
kklimondaScottK: yes, but I'd rather know if the rest of packaging makes sense (especially Breaks/Replaces) - adding a full changelog entry is a matter of few keystrokes.23:25
ScottKkklimonda: At a glance it does.  I do not, however, seem to find an existing aktmm1.6 package in the archive, so I'm a bit confused.23:26
kklimondaScottK: that's the problem, there was non - until now atkmm was part of gtkmm and it has distributed with binary packages generated from gtkmm2.423:26
kklimondathere was none* even23:27
ScottKkklimonda: OK.  I'm starting to understand.  Since this is a new package for Ubuntu, it would be helpful to upload the source to REVU once you've got it ~ there.23:27
kklimondaI was hoping I could get it into debian but I got no response in over a week :/23:28
kklimondaScottK: python-visual also builds fine23:29
ScottKkklimonda:23:29
ScottKCool.23:29
kklimondaScottK: ok, I'll open a bug on LP and upload atkmm1.6 to revu23:29
kklimondahmm, interesting - update-maintainer sets me as a Maintainer anyway. Is it proper or should I change it to Ubuntu Developers manually?23:33
kklimondaoh well, I'll just change it23:35
