KeybukUgh, just ugh08:55
ebroderAre you seriously setting people up to write "start on easter" jobs?08:56
Keybukit's an ... err ... easter egg :p08:56
ionhah08:58
ebroderOof08:59
Keybukoh, c'mom09:01
Keybukit's funny09:01
ebroderYes, but only the kind of funny where I feel bad acknowledging that I think it's funny09:01
Keybukwho won't be able to resist writing a job with "on easter" or "while not lent"09:01

Keybuk  kill -TERM09:02
Keybuktoo much? :-)09:02
ionWouldn’t SIGKILL be more appropriate? TERM would be like saying “would you mind dying, thanks” to the turkey.09:05
Keybukperhaps09:17
Keybukmaybe it's a halal turkey09:18
Keybukwhat would that signal be? :p09:18

lucaswhat's the status of lucid-backports? it seems that there are a lot of pending requests09:51
ari-tczewdoko_: could you take a look on python-django from unstable? It's to sync, but it's FTBFS due to python.10:10
kklimondaari-tczew: django is sensitive to python upgrades10:36
kklimondaari-tczew: can you paste a build log somewhere?10:37

cjwatsonlucas: nothing in the queue for archive admin action, anyway ...11:25
ari-tczewkklimonda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/542235/11:46
gesercjwatson: could you add "libfwbuilder" to PPU for Sylvestre Ledru (sylvestre) (see also his mail to devel-permissions)? we granted him PPU for all his Debian packages. Or do we need to discuss it at a meeting first?11:56
geseronly a TB member can add PPU right? (or is DMB member enough?)11:56
kklimondaari-tczew: it seems to be related to the python transition that is still in progress. It doesn't ship any compiled libraries so there should be no reason to depend on python-dev or python-all-dev12:06
cjwatsongeser: can you remind me of the URL to the meeting minutes/logs where we granted that?12:07
cjwatsonjust for my reference12:07
gesercjwatson: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/05/11/%23ubuntu-meeting.html#t16:28 and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/devel-permissions/2010-March/000026.html for the application (the wiki page seems to be gone)12:22
cjwatsonah, ok - yeah, I think that's fine without a meeting12:28
cjwatsongeser: done12:28
geserthanks, I'll reply to that mail and let Sylvestre know12:29
=== bilalakhtar_ is now known as cdbs
cdbsDue to the python transition, package pywebkit is installing a file /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/webkit/__init__.pyc which wasn't installed in the previous package. This file is breaking the package, and removing the file fixes the problem. Now, what would be the proper method to prevent the installation? The module is a C module. I know I can manually edit debian/rules to remove the file from $(CURDIR)/debian/usr/lib/blahblah/__init__.pyc 13:48
kenvandinedoko_, can you look at bug 688732 ?  pywebkitgtk is installing a rogue __init__.pyc file14:06

kenvandinei am assuming it must be something with python handling, it doesn't look like the package itself to me14:07

bluefoxicyHey, has anyone considered instant rebooting off the LiveCD after install?19:51
bluefoxicylike, kexec load the kernel and initrd, then umount everything disk-based (all USB devices, all hard drive partitions)19:52
bluefoxicydon't bother shutting X down, don't bother logging out, don't bother shutting down services19:52
bluefoxicyjust sync and then kexec exec the kernel19:52
bluefoxicyNo bootloader, no bios, just right from the livecd straight into the boot cycle19:52
ebroderYou can't do it like that, because all of your programs have open file handles on the cd19:53
bluefoxicyebroder,  if something physical refuses to unmount then you can cancel the process.19:53
bluefoxicybut the CD is immaterial19:53
bluefoxicyAre you saying kexec will refuse to run if something is still open?19:54
bluefoxicyebroder, I'm pretty sure kexec will happily run...heh.  hmm.19:56
ebroderIt usually screws things up in my experience if you don't shut down X, etc. first19:57
bluefoxicyebroder:  Graphics hardware state gets corrupted?19:58
ebroderI guess? I'm not really sure19:58
bluefoxicyebroder, what I eventually want is the"system needs a reboot after updates" mechanism to load the kernel and then shutdown properly, but kexec back into the new kernel rather than rebooting through bios19:59
bluefoxicybut a quick jump off the livecd seems like an amusing, nondestructive place to play with the code20:00
bluefoxicyoh well, no matter.20:02

ebroderAre there any ubuntu-dev-tools scripts that upload things to a PPA? I'm looking to see if there's any precedent for interface/process/etc.21:04
tumbleweedebroder: sponsor-patch21:17
ebrodertumbleweed: Does that to PPA uploads, or just archive?21:17
ebroderI guess that's not all that relevant21:18
ebroderAh, it can do both. Spify21:18

ebroderbdrung: ping?22:32
ebroderbdrung: For backportpackage, do you want DEB_VENDOR set for pull-lp-source, or for debuild -S?22:32
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
tumbleweedebroder: you should set it when building / unpacking packages for ubuntu (without any other possible, non-ubuntu use cases)22:39
ebroderSo for both, then22:40
tumbleweedyeah. It sohuld be a no-op on ubuntu, but is a good do-the-right-thing convenience for people who do ubuntu-dev stuff on debian22:41
bdrungebroder: tumbleweed was faster :)22:41
ebroderAnd it's DEB_VENDOR=Ubuntu, not ubuntu?22:41
tumbleweedI think both will actually work, but Vendor=Ubuntu in /etc/dpkg/origins/ubuntu22:43
ebroderOk22:43

ebroderOh, whoops - clicked the resubmit button a little too soon. Sorry for the extra spam22:45
ebroderI want to start trying to work my way through some of the backports backlog and quickly got stuck on bug #582228. It's a request to backport a version of a package that's no longer there, and there's been no action from the requestor in response to vorian's testing requests. Should I just leave it marked Incomplete as is?23:39

ebroder(I'm ignoring for the moment the fact that the bug reads like it really wants to be an SRU, not a backport)23:45
ebrodertumbleweed: The quick review turnaround is much appreciated, by the way23:52
tumbleweedebroder: np, and good night :)23:56
