micahggeser: great, thanks00:51
ptingis there a command to preseed user/group ids? i want to sync up all the system user/group ids01:06
ptingnvm, i'll check with #ubuntu-server01:06
micahgis bzr mark-uploaded the same as debcommit -r?03:50
lifelessmicahg: no, sadly.04:17
micahglifeless: so I need to do mark-uploaded before or after debcommit -r?04:17
micahghmm, it says I already marked it uploaded and I used debcommit -r04:18
lifelessah, perhaps its been fixed04:32

micahgebroder: so, I should've just uploaded those builds w/version issues?05:25
ebroderdoko uploaded them a few hours ago. He fixed the version before uploading05:25
micahgebroder: ah, ok05:25
ebroderI'm generally in favor of just making minor fixes yourself and pointing them out to the contributor after the fact, instead of making them go through another round of bikeshedding, but opinions vary05:26
micahgI did that earlier tonight for ofono, I fixed up the changelog entry a little05:28

AnAntHello, I am getting this build failure on natty: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/60640251/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-i386.drawtiming_0.7.1-2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz  , yet it builds fine in maverick. Note that both natty & maverick have the save version of graphicsmagick.09:38
AnAntbuild fails during linking09:38
AnAntany clues ?09:38
evaluateAnAnt, I'm a newb with packaging myself, but are you sure you only need 'graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat' in the Build-Depends?09:53
mr_pouitAnAnt: probably the linking order (the .o files are after the libs)09:56
evaluateAnAnt, I didn't look at the source files, but I guess you are using the functions from Magick++.h. If that's true, you might want to also include libgraphicsmagick++1-dev in the Build-Depends: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/libgraphicsmagick++1-dev/filelist10:00
mr_pouitAnAnt: in src/Makefile.am, you should not pass the libs through drawtiming_LDFLAGS, but drawtiming_LDADD iirc10:00
evaluatemr_pouit, just curios, where can you see the source files? :-)10:01
mr_pouitevaluate: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/drawtiming.git for example10:02
evaluatemr_pouit, thanks :-)10:04
evaluateanyway, I guess including libgraphicsmagick++1-dev in the Build-Depends might fix the problem...10:06
evaluatejust my 0.02...10:06
evaluateand yeah, the libs should normally be passed to LDADD and not LDFLAGS...10:09
=== cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson
AnAntevaluate: that build-dep worked for several cycles10:32
AnAntmr_pouit: the linking command line is the same in both natty & maverick10:33
AnAntactually I think it may have to do with doko's email: "gcc in natty now passes --as-needed by default to the linker"10:33
evaluateAnAnt, if it works in some cases, doesn't make it correct. If your package needs libgraphicsmagick++1-dev to build correctly, you should include that in the Build-Depends10:33
evaluatethe same goes with the passing the libs to LDADD10:36
mr_pouitAnAnt: indeed10:44
AnAntmr_pouit: seems, you got the right clue indeed10:56

Riddellmenesis: how does schooltool-common relate to schooltool?11:08
AnAntmr_pouit: thanks11:25
menesisRiddell: it contains some scripts to be shared between schooltool instances.11:34
menesisRiddell: it was uploaded unintentionally. I plan to redo schooltool server packaging and will likely drop the schooltool-common package.11:34
Riddellmenesis: so I should reject it?11:35
menesisyes11:35
Riddellk, good thing I asked..11:36

Zhenechguys, what's the ubuntu way of doing a "binNMU" (yes I know there is no such thing in Ubuntu)? just need a package rebuilt without further changes on all arches in maverick and natty12:29
RiddellZhenech: just upload it12:50
Riddellor if you don't have upload rights find someone who does12:50
Riddellfor maverick it needs a SRU12:51
Zhenechthanks to qscintille the package just segfaults after starting using, so getting an SRU permission should be easy :)12:52
mhall119Riddell: got a minute?12:56
Riddellmhall119: what's up?12:56
mhall119couple of things about xdg-launcher12:56
mhall119I've actually got the package depends fixed in later versions, but was told I didn't need to continue uploading new versions to revu12:57
mhall119about the name, it uses the xdg-menus, so I thought it would be okay to call it that12:57
mhall119I didn't know xdg- was a package namespace12:58
Riddellmhall119: there's no formal namespace, but there are a load of scripts from xdg that are used for cross desktop purposes and I fear this could get confused as one of them12:58
mhall119or at least not a reserved namespace12:58
mhall119I didn't want to call it qimo-launcher, because it's more general than just Qimo13:00
mhall119so is a name change really necessary?  I've already got a project by that name registered with LP13:01
mhall119or is it just the name of the /usr/bin/xdg-launcher file that you're concerned about?13:02
RiddellI'm concerned about both the package name and the binary file name13:03
mhall119the only xdg-* package names I see on Maverick are xdg-utils and xdg-user-dirs13:04
Riddellyes, and this sounds a lot like it's related to xdg-utils13:04
Riddellit could be an alternative name for xdg-open13:04
macoit sounds like a cross-DE version of gnome-open or whatever the kde command for that is13:05
* maco should probably learn that command, now that she's a kde user13:05
mhall119okay, so what if I called it xdg-launcher-panel?13:05
mhall119or xdg-panel-launcher13:05
Riddellthat sounds like it's a script from the XDG group to launch a panel13:06
macomhall119: panel-xdg-launcher!13:06
macothen the xdg is in the middle instead of looking like a prefix13:07
RiddellI'd think application-launcher-panel or application-menu-panel is more along the lines13:07
c2taruni wanted to install gnome into my chroot env. i just want to know the difference between gnome-session and ubuntu-desktop. can anyone please tell ?13:07
=== freeflyi1g is now known as freeflying
macoim afraid you're surrounded by kde users at the moment13:07
cdbsgnome-session is a package part of the GNOME desktop, ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that installs all gnome packages13:08
cdbsmaco: I am here nevertheless :D13:08
macoyou were hiding!13:08
cdbshiding since you people were discussion KDE :D13:08
Riddellactually we're discussing a gnome panel replacement13:09
* maco sighs in the general direction of that unfinished gnome-panel patch that will never be finished13:09
mhall119it's not a replacement for gnome-panel, it's just a simple panel with XDG Menu entry launchers13:09
macoooh good for xmonad users!13:09
cdbsmaco: If the discussion is about Ubuntu Desktop Edition, then, as you know, we no longer need gnome-panel13:10
mhall119maco: depends on what functionality they need13:10
cdbsUnity is working well at such an early stage13:10
mhall119it's written to replace the bottom Xfce panel in Qimo13:10
macocdbs: oh no that was an offhand about a patch i was working on a few weeks before switching to kde, to let the panel have a gradient without that stupid repeating png issue13:10
Riddellmhall119: the term "XDG Menu" is horribly geeky and exposes an implementation detail.  I always call it the application menu13:10
macocdbs: it was almost 2 years ago now...and what with unity and gnome-3, itll never be13:11
cdbsmaco: you used to develop for ubuntu-desktop and gnome packages ? ;)13:11
mhall119I think maco hacks on anything she can get her hands on13:11
macomhall119: nah just the broken stuff!13:11
mhall119like I said13:11
macocdbs: ive been doing gtk stuff since 200713:11
cdbsah, I am pretty new in the open-source scene, though I had been developing a few Windoze apps earlier13:12
macoswitched to kde in 2009 and just started qt earlier this year13:12
mhall119Riddell: so is the hangup mostly on the xdg- part, not the -launcher part?13:12
Riddellmhall119: yes13:12
cdbsI got to understand the joy of developing when I moved to open-source :D13:12
mhall119Riddell: on both package, /usr/bin/xdg-launcher and /usr/share/pyshared/xdglauncher.py13:13
Riddellcdbs: you might be new but your nick is already obsolete, shouldn't it be debhelper7 now? :)13:13
cdbsRiddell: registered :(13:13
* maco snickers13:13
cdbsI settled with this one because it wasn't registered yet13:13
Riddellmhall119: yes13:13
mhall119:(13:13
mhall119okay, so I'll have to go re-name everything13:14
mhall119is there any kind of naming guidelines or do's and don'ts, so I don't have this happen again?13:14
Riddelldon't use names used by other groups :)13:14

=== dpm is now known as dpm-afk
ari-tczewScottK: do I have to upload my backported package to my PPA? or rather upload to Backports PPA is enough?18:07
ScottKari-tczew: Neither are required if you are testing it yourself.  As long as the bug says it builds/installs/runs and you've attached any needed debdiff (usually not needed), that's enough.18:08
ari-tczewScottK: do I have to prepare a debdiff to modify debian/changelog?18:10
ScottKari-tczew: Not if that's all that18:11
ScottKis needed18:11
ari-tczewperhaps yes18:11
ari-tczewScottK: do I have to affect source package in Ubuntu? (I mean about bug created in maverick-backports)18:12
ScottKNo.  It's preferred you don't.18:12
evaluateif I have a package that was uploaded to debian, do I need to wait for it to get out of NEW to request a sync in ubuntu or can I request a sync even if it's in NEW?18:20
ebroderevaluate: It needs to make it out of NEW. But once that's done, it should automatically get synced to Ubuntu18:21
evaluateebroder, ok :-)18:21
ebroder(Assuming it comes out of NEW before our DebianImportFreeze, which is some time around Christmas)18:21
ebroder(And after DIF, you can just request a sync)18:21
evaluateebroder, hmm, not sure, it seemsto take pretty long now that debian is in freeze itself...18:21
ebroderevaluate: The ftpmasters have been letting packages into unstable during freeze, although that may stop now that Debian is in deep freeze18:22
ScottKThey don't generally stop it, it's just a low priority for their work.18:24
evaluatewell, since they're approaching the release, I'm not sure they'll do anymore imports until that point, also not sure if they'll make it before christmas, since it's only a week...18:27
ebroderevaluate: That's fine. After DIF, there's sort of a sliding scale in terms of how hard it is to get new packages synced in. Immediately afterwards, it's a manual process, but easy to do. As we work towards beta and RC, it gets harder18:28

ari-tczewScottK: which version should do I use? ~backport1 and target to maverick or ~maverick1?21:11
ebroderari-tczew: You know you don't upload the actual backport, right?21:13
ari-tczewebroder: I don't understand.21:14
ebroderari-tczew: What exactly are you doing?21:14
ebroderAre you testing or actually trying to upload?21:14
ari-tczewebroder: prepare upload to my PPA for testing21:14
ari-tczew(a backport)21:14
ari-tczewand I must know what I have to use before ~ppa121:15
ebroderari-tczew: Ah, ok. Just checking. We use ~maverick1. But check out backportpackage in lp:~broder/ubuntu-dev-tools/backportpackage21:15
ScottKari-tczew: For a test for a backport I recommend ~maverick1~ppa1.21:15
ari-tczewebroder: how it works?21:16
ebroderari-tczew: ./backportpackage --from natty --to maverick --upload ppa:ari-tczew/ppa source_package21:16
ari-tczewebroder: hmm... it seems to be not in current ubuntu-dev-tools binary. I have to download script and put it into ~/bin21:17
ebroderari-tczew: Yes, that's why I gave you the bzr branch to get it from21:17
ari-tczewebroder: http://paste.ubuntu.com/543831/22:52
ebroderari-tczew: There are some changes to the Python modules ubuntu-dev-tools ships that you need. It's probably easier to have a checkout of my branch and run backportpackage with that as your working directory22:53
ebroderYou could put a wrapper script in your ~/bin that does cd ~/checkout; exec ./backportpackage "$@"22:54

tumbleweedRiddell: re bug 689310, KUBUNTU_NO_DELETE_POT=1 makes zero difference (or am I doing something wrong?)23:00

Riddelltumbleweed: /usr/lib/kubuntu-desktop-i18n/debhelper/kubuntu-debhelper-langpack-clean.sh says it does rm -rf po/*.pot23:29
Riddellof course it only does that on the build daemons23:30

tumbleweedI do saw that code, I just don't see it actually having any benefit23:31
tumbleweeds/do//23:31

tumbleweedthat's what I tested, look at the debdiff on the bug23:32
tumbleweedit creates that either way23:32
tumbleweedso, either KUBUNTU_NO_DELETE_POT isn't what this package needs, or it's not working as expected23:33

tumbleweedheh, I'll prod him. I don't like maintaining a delta just for cleaning correctly, esp when it doesn't clean correctly23:41
JontheEchidnaKUBUNTU_NO_DELETE_POT=1 is no longer needed, as pkg-kde-tools no longer does l10n stripping for universe packages in the archive23:41
