kaushalis http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/#downloads available in Ubuntu repository ?05:08
Bachstelzekaushal: doesn't look like it05:11
kaushalok05:11
kaushalBachstelze: Any specific reason why its not available in the repository ?05:12
micahgkaushal: no one has had time to package it yet is the most likely reason05:14
kaushalmicahg: ok05:15
micahgdebian 584987 was filed to replace mysql-gui-tools with it05:17
ubottuDebian bug 584987 in mysql-gui-tools "mysql-gui-tools: EOL upstream, should not be shipped in squeeze, replaced by MySQL Workbench" [Important,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/58498705:17
kaushalmicahg: ok05:20
kaushalmicahg: is it related to Ubuntu ?05:21
kaushalsince it mentions about debian05:21
kaushalI know Ubuntu is from Debian SID05:21
micahgkaushal: we get over 75% of our packages from Debian05:23
kaushaloh ok05:23
kaushalmicahg: Are there any documents which mentions about this ?05:24
micahgkaushal: we're spread pretty thin, so we usually wait for new packages to get in through Debian unless a specific Ubuntu Developer has an interest in the packagte05:24
micahgkaushal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages05:25
micahghi bilalakhtar, thanks for the accolades05:28
bilalakhtarmicahg: no problem, I already had to update the topic, and add the fact that maverick-proposed is open. Just before /topic-ing, I noticed that the end of the topic says: Congrats to new MOTU: debfx . Just changed it to your nick05:29
bilalakhtarbdrung: Thanks for that gimp upload!05:30
bilalakhtarbdrung: Dunno why it was being ignored till now, since it was a work item for me, assigned at UDS05:31
kaushalmicahg: Thanks again for the explanation05:31
kaushalmuch appreciated05:31
micahgkaushal: no problem05:31
kaushalmicahg: I did apt-cache search mysql |grep -- ^mysql-05:38
kaushalwhat does -- signifies mean after grep command ?05:39
* micahg isn't suer05:39
micahg*sure05:39
ebroderIt means that all arguments after it are treated as filenames to search05:39
kaushalebroder: ok05:41
kaushalthanks05:41
kaushalso if i just do grep ^mysql- ?05:41
ebroderThat would print out all lines that start with mysql, yes05:42
kaushalso there is no difference05:43
kaushal?05:43
kaushalnot sure i understand that05:43
kaushalebroder: you around ?05:53
Bachstelzekaushal: what are you trying to do?06:00
kaushalBachstelze: np06:00
kaushali got it now06:00
kaushaljust trying to understand the difference between grep -- ^mysql- and grep ^mysql-06:01
kaushalcurious to knpw06:01
kaushalknow*06:01
ebroderkaushal: Sorry, stepped away for a bit06:27
ebroderI'm not sure what I said before was right. Normally, if you have a command that takes both options (i.e. -r or -l) and arguments, you can use -- to separate the options and the arguments06:28
ebroder"ls -l" means do a long listing. "ls -- -l" means list the file or directory -l06:29
ebroderI don't know exactly how -- works with grep, though06:29
StevenK-- is shorthand for 'anything after it isn't an option'06:40
dholbachgood morning!08:08
stefanlsdmorning!08:10
stefanlsdebroder: fixed that dkms issue i was having. dkms error reporting isnt great08:11

ari-tczewI heard that everybody in ~ubuntu-dev can ACK sync of a new package. is it true?10:57
tumbleweedari-tczew: the archive admins process new package syncs periodically, but if it's urgent yes, any MOTU can ack a sync destined for universe/multiverse11:13
ari-tczewtumbleweed: but not every ~ubuntu-dev member is MOTU.11:14
AnAntHello11:14
ari-tczewlike kklimonda11:14
ari-tczewhello AnAnt11:14
tumbleweedari-tczew: you can only ack for things you can upload to11:14
tumbleweedan ack is a sign that you've done all the checks you would do if you were sponsoring the upload, you just haven't uploaded11:14
ari-tczewvery odd11:15
ari-tczewtumbleweed: look on bug 67323011:15
ubottuLaunchpad bug 673230 in ubuntu-sponsoring "Privilegles status doesn't show correctly" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67323011:15
tumbleweedari-tczew: no idea, AFAIK new packages come into universe, so MOTUs can ack new packages, not sure about how this relates to ~ubuntu-dev11:19
geserubuntu-dev = core-dev + motu + packageset uploaders + ppu11:32
ari-tczewgeser: ok, what's the conclusion?11:33
gesernot sure yet, have to think about it11:34
ari-tczewok11:35
geserhave you a link to documentation which tells who can ACK a sync?11:35
Laneyso MOTU can upload NEW packages11:49
Laneytherefore can ack their sync11:49
geserari-tczew: it probably should work like this: motu+core-dev can ACK new package syncs, package set uploaders can ACK new package syncs that belong to their package set (not yet but will once they are in the archive and added to the package set), PPU can't ACK new package syncs as we don't give PPU for packages not yet in the archive11:49
geserI hope I didn't miss a valid case11:49
Laneyfor other packages  I have bene informed that once there is a SPPR (or whatever) for it anywhere in LP then they can be added to a set11:49
Laneyso you can upload to $PPA and have it added to your set and then sync11:49
Laneyor probably just do this informally through AAs, I doubt there would be a problem11:49
dholbachari-tczew, the code in the sponsoring overview uses code that is very very similar to http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/ubuntu-archive-tools/trunk/annotate/head:/sync-helper.py#L6711:50
dholbachso what the archive admins use11:50
Laneyspeaking of sets, ...11:50
Laneycjwatson: could you add dbus-sharp dbus-sharp-glib to cli-mono please?11:50
geserLaney: is the cli-mono package set TB or DMB managed? if it's the later any DMB member can do it11:51
Laneyoh, don't know11:52
LaneyI've only ever pinged cjw before, let's see11:53
Laneydmb owns the team... how do you find out for the set? want to just try?11:53
geserLaney: that always works as Colin is both TB and DMB11:53
geserLaney: I could try but as I'm currently at work, I don't have access to my computer where I've set up everything11:54
Laneyok11:55
geserLaney: grab your package set through the LP API and look at the owner attribute11:56
Laney>>> set.owner.display_name12:01
Laney'Ubuntu Technical Board'12:01
Laneygeser: ^^^12:01
geserthen you need someone from TB to get those package added12:02
Laneyok, already done ;)12:02
LaneyI wonder if it should not be DMB though… was the first packageset of this kind so kind of broke new ground12:02
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArchiveReorganisation/Permissions#Technical Board considerations12:03
geserI know that the "mozilla" and "zope" package set are DMB owned, all other package set TB owned12:04
dholbachoh... I thought all were TB-owned12:04
dholbachhmhm12:04
geserI don't remember how it came that DMB created the "mozilla" package set; have to check the meetings logs for it12:07

Laneythanks a lot12:32
cjwatsonI'd be OK with the cli-mono set becoming DMB-owned, probably ought to be signed off by other TB folks though12:32
ScottKbarry: I'd appreciate it if you would have a look at the proposed patch in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/674009 and give an opinion on it.15:24
ubottuLaunchpad bug 674009 in pyme (Ubuntu) "in pyme.core.Data fail new_from_fd function" [Undecided,New]15:24
AnAntHello, is this build failure Natty-specific: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/58996466/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-i386.python-whoosh_1.2.6-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz ? I don't get this build error under Maverick16:26
AnAntin other words, is it actually a problem in python-whoosh or python2.7 in Ubuntu ?16:27
RhondaWhy did helloubuntu.com end on november 6th?16:31
geserAnAnt: could be the same issue as bug 67144117:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 671441 in joblib (Ubuntu) "joblib FTBFS in Natty" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67144117:18
AnAntgeser: how's that17:19
AnAnt?17:19
AnAntgeser: I get this FTBFS on maverick too btw with python-whoosh, but I added patch to workaround this  issue17:21
AnAntgeser: actually, it is that patch that causes python-whoosh to FTBFS on natty17:21
geserAnAnt: the bug is about /dev/shm not being mount in the buildds which make the test fail as it tries to create a semaphore (which IIRC is stored in /dev/shm)17:23
geserand when you compare in which module the both tests fail, you notice the same python module (multiprocessing)17:23
AnAntgeser: here's the patch that is causing the FTBFS: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/python-modules/packages/python-whoosh/trunk/debian/patches/shm_check.diff17:24
AnAntbut that does not happen in maverick17:25
geserAnAnt: looks like the exception changed. The patch catches OSError (like the error in the bug I mentioned) while your build log shows an ImportError17:31
gesertry modifying the patch to "except (OSError, ImportError):"17:32
AnAntgeser: yup, the Queue() call causes the ImportError17:32
AnAntgeser: modifying the patch will fix it , but my question is: is the problem actually in whoosh or python2.7 ?17:33
geserAIUI neither, but a problem on the buildds17:33
AnAntAIUI ?17:35

achiangif i'm developing a small package in my own ppa, what is the proper method to ensure it is installable in both maverick and lucid? what keys off the distro series in debian/changelog? just the PPA buildd?18:06
achiangiow, if my distro series is maverick, the buildd will build it in a maverick chroot; but will lucid users subscribed to my ppa still be able to install the package?18:07
ari-tczewachiang: normal set release - lucid or maverick. in versioning you can use ~ppa018:07
ari-tczewachiang: or ~lucid1 ~maverick1~18:07
micahgachiang: no, each series is a separate repo18:08
micahgs/is/has/18:08
micahgachiang: so you can either build on lucid and copy forward, or upload to both lucid and maverick with slightly different versions as ari-tczew suggests18:09
achiangmicahg: hm. so that means on my actual hard drive, i need to have 2 parallel directories with essentially the same source, but two different debian/changelogs ; the only difference being the distro series?18:09
achiangoh... hm.  a binary copy to a maverick ppa18:09
micahgachiang: can be the same PPA, just different series (BTW, #ubuntu-packaging is more appropriate for this)18:10
ari-tczewno need separate PPA for another release18:10
* achiang hops over to #ubuntu-packaging18:12

psusiit seems to me that one should use +ppa0 rather than ~ppa0, because foo2~ppa0 will be treated as > foo1.218:16
micahgpsusi: well, depends on what version is there, I prefer verion~series~ppaX18:17
micahg*version18:17
micahgpsusi: that way it won't conflict with official backports18:17
psusimicahg: yea, but if there is then an official version.2 released, it won't superceed your version~18:18
micahgpsusi: well, you wouldn't want it to in most cases18:18
micahgas it would be a different branch18:18
psusiwhy not?  it is newer than yours18:18
micahgpsusi: oh, I see like ubuntu2 vs ubuntu 1.218:19
psusiif you take version1 and patch it, and call it version2~ppa0, then upstream comes out with version1.1, it won't replace yours18:19
micahgpsusi: so in that case yes, you would want the +ppa, but in a lot of cases, the PPA versions are ahead of what's currently in teh archive18:19
psusiexactly18:19

xteejxCan I request a giveback on bzr in main? It builds fine locally, build-deps seem ok now20:01

xteejxajmitch: Yes, I believe so, pbuilder picked it up20:04
ajmitch& you didn't have universe enabled?20:05
ajmitchsince LP still reports it as being in universe20:05
xteejxajmitch: Not afaik :S20:05
xteejxHmm, perhaps it *is* enabled20:06
* ajmitch suspects that you may have had it enabled, python-testtools will need to be promoted to main if it's needed to build packages in main20:06
xteejxIgnore me :P20:06
xteejxSorry about that20:07
ajmitchnot a problem :)20:09
xteejx:)20:09

Rhondaari-tczew: For questions like this I usually keep a copy of the Contents file locally to zgrep on.20:34
Rhondaapt-file can help with that, there are other approaches, too.20:34
RhondaAnother approach is: http:/packages.ubuntu.com/ and inser libQtCore.so in the content search form.20:35
Rhondainsert*20:35
RhondaThat way you can answer this question yourself next time. ;)20:35
ari-tczewRhonda: try this command locally. doesn't work :P20:37
ari-tczewit gives --help20:38
RhondaThen read it? :)20:38
micahgari-tczew: apt-file search libQtCore20:38
RhondaLike said, I have a copy of the Contents file locally, so I'm not too familiar with the apt-file handling. I just know that it can answer the question that you had for you.20:38
RhondaAnd it has a manual page, too. IRC shouldn't be your replacement to reading documentation, you know. ;)20:39
ari-tczewthanks micahg20:39
ari-tczewxteejx: you're right, libqt4-dev20:39
xteejxwoohoo :D20:39
ari-tczewbut it's already in Build-Depends :/20:39
ari-tczewwhat's wrong?20:39
xteejxcould it be that -I/usr/lib needs to be added to the compile line?20:41
ari-tczewxteejx: I added LDFLAGS to d/rules20:42
xteejxari-tczew: Just a guess, but you might need to edit or patch the actual source20:43
RhondaI don't think so20:43
xteejxI'm just guessing :) Hard to know without seeing the source20:43
RhondaThere should be a config.log or something that contains more information on the error.20:45
ScottKari-tczew: What package?20:49
ari-tczewScottK: xca20:50
ari-tczewxteejx: could you try to fix FTBFS on xca from Debian unstable?20:52
xteejxI'm doing something else20:52
ari-tczewpackage is sync ready, but one remaining changes is LDFLAGS to workaround FTBFS.20:52
ScottKari-tczew: How did you add -lQtCore?20:54
ari-tczewScottK: LDFLAGS = -Bsymbolic-functions -lQtCore (debian/rules)20:54
ScottKari-tczew: Try -lQtCore4.20:58
RhondaScottK: There is no libQtCore4.so?21:00
xteejxapt-file has nothing for that21:01
ari-tczewScottK: ld: cannot find -lQtCore421:01
ScottKNot sure then21:01
ari-tczewmarking as FTBFS on MoM21:02
ScottKari-tczew: I bet the current Ubuntu package is also FTBFS.21:10
ari-tczewScottK: I can check.21:11
xteejxHow do I find out what to link for an undefined reference?21:11
xteejxI tried apt-file search, but nothing came up21:11
ari-tczewmaybe it's looking on package which is not exist in archive21:12
ari-tczewScottK: current xca in Ubuntu - /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4: could not read symbols: Invalid operation21:18
ScottKSo there's a problem either way.21:19
ScottKJFTR, adding -lstdc++ and -lQtCore to LIBS fixes the FTBFS.  Didn't have time to sort out the best place to attach it.22:20
