ari-tczewrobert_ancell: are you able to sponsor curl? I'll do it now.00:20
robert_ancellari-tczew, sure00:20
ari-tczewrobert_ancell: you shouldn't drop d/changelog changes00:22
ari-tczewwhile merging00:22
robert_ancellwhy not?  They just add clutter00:23
ari-tczewthis is a history of delta and explanation why it has been added00:23
ari-tczewrobert_ancell: sane-backends merge is ready to review. bug 69357800:24
ubot2Launchpad bug 693578 in sane-backends (Ubuntu) "Merge sane-backends 1.0.21-9 (main) from Debian unstable (main) (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/69357800:24
robert_ancellari-tczew, when you do a merge, the last changelog entry should contain all the information on what is different compared to the debian version.  The patch headers contain the bug links/details00:24
ari-tczewrobert_ancell: sorry gregory, I just tell you about advices which give me bdrung - core-dev also00:25
micahgrobert_ancell: right, but the actual changelog entries showing when it originally happened can be helpful as well00:27
robert_ancellmicahg, yeah, but I think that's a sympton of bad patch headers - if everything is done correctly then it should be clear.  Not you can always get the old history from bzr00:28
micahgrobert_ancell: might not be a patch if Debian doesn't have a patch system00:29
ari-tczewrobert_ancell: even if you're talking well, we have a policy and we should respect it - keeping changes in d/changelog00:29
robert_ancellari-tczew, where is the policy?00:29
ari-tczewrobert_ancell: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging00:30
robert_ancellari-tczew, ta00:30
robert_ancellari-tczew, sure, but that's not may packages at the moment00:31
bcurtiswxrobert_ancell, is there a newer version of webkit we can get for natty or the GNOME3 PPA ?00:34
bcurtiswxrobert_ancell, because i'm building empathy from source just to see if it works.. and i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/546777/00:35
robert_ancellbcurtiswx, yeah, the GNOME3 PPA needs updating.  I was doing it but it takes so damn long to compile (>1hr) and it overheats my laptop and it shuts down half way :(00:35
bcurtiswxwhich is a webkit  problem, but empathy00:35
bcurtiswxwebkit takes THAT long??00:35
bcurtiswxwow00:35
bcurtiswxwell, is there a branch I can build from.. i'll see if i end up with the same fate00:35
ari-tczewwould be nice if you won't forget about my merge request during fix gnome 3.000:36
ari-tczew(for webkit)00:36
micahgrobert_ancell: if no one gets to the webkit merge/FTBFS for natty, I'll try to look at it before the end of the year00:36
robert_ancellmicahg, cool, thanks00:37
ari-tczewmicahg: are you going to spend end of the year on fix FTBFS webkit?00:38
micahgari-tczew: I can add it to my growing list of things that I'm trying to fix before the end of the year00:38
bcurtiswxrobert_ancell, is there a branch I can use for webkit i will try my laptop, see if i end up with the same fate00:38
robert_ancellbcurtiswx, lp:~ubuntu-desktop/webkit/ubuntugtk300:40
bcurtiswxrobert_ancell, thx00:40
robert_ancellWhen it works, push it to lp:~gnome3-team/webkit/ubuntu00:40

micahgrobert_ancell: can I request access for gnome3 packaging (for gnome-shell)?00:41

ari-tczewnope00:45
micahgrobert_ancell: and it's just debian dir branches, right?00:46
robert_ancellmicahg, yes00:46
ari-tczewrobert_ancell: I guess that we can forward only d/watch file to Debian. The rest is ubuntu-specific change, right?00:49
robert_ancellari-tczew, for what?00:50
ari-tczewrobert_ancell: sane-backends merge00:50
robert_ancellari-tczew, yes, I think so00:50
ari-tczewrobert_ancell: how about you for merging non-gnome-related stuff for main?01:04
robert_ancellari-tczew, sure as long as it's desktop related01:05
robert_ancellwhat are you thinking of?01:05
ari-tczewrobert_ancell: some merges available in main, probably non-desktop related, unfortunately01:06
robert_ancellari-tczew, are they maintained in ~ubuntu-desktop brz?01:06

ricotzrodrigo_, hi11:35
ricotzrodrigo_, the current gtk+3.0 2.91.7 tarball is broken and will break many builds like g-s-d11:37
rodrigo_oh?11:37
ricotzit misses *.pc after some transition, it is fixed upstream11:38
rodrigo_ok, and there's a new upstream release, right?11:38
ricotzi mean some *.pc files11:39
ricotzno there isnt11:39
rodrigo_ah, right11:39
ricotzi have packed  a git snapshot in ppa:ricotz/staging11:39

rodrigo_ricotz, can you propose your gtk3 fix for merging?11:41
rodrigo_into the natty package11:41
ricotzrodrigo_, could you read the log of ubuntu-devel11:41
rodrigo_yes11:41
rodrigo_oh, the irc channel you mean?11:42
ricotzrodrigo_, it is a git snapshot, not sure if this should go into archive11:42

ricotzhe already worked on things and might be on holidays now11:46
rodrigo_ari-tczew, he's been working the whole week, afaik, not sure if he is on holidays today11:47
ricotzrodrigo_, he pushed the gtk and g-i updates ;)11:48
rodrigo_yes11:48
ricotzalso g-i packaging is broken11:48
ricotzit seems he dropped the gir1.2-* transition11:48
ari-tczewhe signed my merge as him in webkit branch :/11:49
ari-tczewnot good as sponsor11:49
ricotzrodrigo_, i will copy my gtk3 snapshot to the gnome3 ppa?11:51
rodrigo_hmm, I guess that's the best thing to have things working11:51
rodrigo_so yes, copy it and send a mail to robert, please11:52
ricotzrodrigo_, could you fix the g-i package?11:52

rodrigo_ricotz, the one in natty?11:52
ricotzyes11:53
Guest7185is gdm broken?11:53
ricotzrodrigo_, the changes from ubuntu4 to ubuntu5 are missing11:54
ricotzrodrigo_, in ppa:ricotz/testing you can find the working g-i packaging11:59
rodrigo_ricotz, ok, cool11:59
rodrigo_ricotz, although I can't upload/merge, so if you already have it fixed, why don't you propose a merge?11:59
ricotzrodrigo_, sorry, i dont have it branched and these are snapshot packages12:00
rodrigo_ok12:00
bilalakhtar_Is GDM in natty broken?12:01
rodrigo_bilalakhtar_, not for me12:01
ricotzbilalakhtar_, yes, try to downgrade gtk2 to 2.23.212:01
bilalakhtar_okay12:01
bilalakhtar_will have to download debs manually I guess12:01
bilalakhtar_anyone knows how to install multiple debs at a time using dpkg?12:02

mdzronoc, thanks for the reminder. i'll see what I can find out, though a lot of folks are away on holiday already12:18
ronocmdz, grand just wondering where we are at with that12:19
mdzronoc, where we are is that I hadn't done anything about it since UDS until just now. I've now sent an email inquiry12:23

ronocbut rb is fine with it12:26
mdzloading my library via DAAP is very slow in banshee, while RB handles it better (still slow but much less so)12:31
rodrigo_ricotz, have you thought about submitting the gnome-shell packages in your PPA to the gnome3 ppa?12:36
ricotzrodrigo_, not yet12:38
ronocmdz, will chat with Alex about these issues when he comes online after lunch12:46
mdzronoc, I've been thinking that what's needed is a caching mechanism for DAAP. then it wouldn't matter so much that it's slow to load everything up initially12:46
mdzbut I haven't looked into it to test that theory12:47
ronocyeah that would work, my C# is not existent, but i'd imagine i could give it a shot12:48
mdzronoc, you're a C programmer, right?  All you need to do is tune up a half step ;-)13:08
ronocmdz: :)13:12
ronocgrab some lunch13:12
cdbsricotz: yes, that downgrade worked13:16

cassidyis there some plan to package glib-networking ?14:51
cyphermoxcassidy, I don't know, what does it do?14:55
cassidyit's needed for libproxy integration14:55
cyphermoxah, it's in debian experimental14:57
cyphermoxcassidy, is it for libproxy integration in a specific package? just trying to find out what would use it so I can add that to a possible bug about syncing the package from experimental :)15:00
cassidycyphermox, basically all the app using gio's network feature will gain from it15:00

rodrigo_how do I migrate a bzr branch from an old version to the new one15:22
rodrigo_a remote branch that is, can't push to it because the remote is old15:22

maxbcan you describe the situation a little more?15:29

rodrigo_dobey, thanks, that worked indeed :)15:34
bcurtiswxso much for unity not exploding :P17:18
bcurtiswxi have no desktop nor applets on my classic desktop.. nothing shows on unity interface17:19
Amaranthbcurtiswx: yeah, apparently it may be a gtk thing17:23
AmaranthI dunno, that's what hggdh was thinking anyway17:23
bcurtiswxhmm.  GTK failures are never fun17:24
bcurtiswxi tell ya, this GNOME3 stuff is just a mess17:28
bcurtiswxany update to anything can be broken by packages that once worked fine for it, but are now too old with deprecated functions17:29
Amaranthbcurtiswx: We went from "GTK3 is going to be current GTK2 minus deprecations" to last minute rapid changes in GTK3 with corresponding GTK2 released pushed out so they could still say that stuff was deprecated in 2.x :)17:33
hggdhbcurtiswx: same here. On Unity, I still cannot drill down on the indicators, so...17:42
rodrigo_bcurtiswx, well, we're packaging a very much in progress work, so it's not the developer's fault, really17:45
rodrigo_we should probably though pay more attention to gtk3 upgrades17:47
ricotzrodrigo_, in this case gtk2 is broken ;)17:48
rodrigo_ah, that's another story then :)17:49
ricotzrodrigo_, i think mclasen pushed some fixes17:49
rodrigo_yes, I think so17:49
mclasenAmaranth: you're welcome to help out...17:50
ricotzmclasen, hi, might be worth a new tarball? since this is quite a big problem17:52
mclasenricotz: not sure what oyu are referring to ?17:52
ricotzmclasen, oh, i meant gtk2 - http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?h=gtk-2-24&id=120915d6deff05c0154c9d44c3903a8a6e1b303617:53
mclaseni'm sure your distro can manage to patch that17:54
ricotzmclasen, yeah, alright ;)17:55
rodrigo_ricotz, hmm, your gtk3 package is missing libgtk-x11-3.so17:59
rodrigo_or seems so, I upgraded and now apps complain about it missing17:59
ricotzrodrigo_, hmm, i havent changed the packaging at all18:07
ricotzrodrigo_, sorry, but i have to go :(18:08
mclasenrodrigo_: its libgtk.so now18:08
* mclasen sends those announcements for a reason...18:09
rodrigo_mclasen, right, so I guess it's an app not rebuilt yet18:16
mclasenyeah, abi is still changing18:17
=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
bcurtiswxrodrigo_, i don't blame anyone.  its going to be like this whether we want it to be or not. :)19:45
dobeyis there an easy way to figure out the gir api version? ie, 1.2 vs 1.0?20:26
bcurtiswxrodrigo_, gnome-keyring was published 8 hours ago.  Is there any reason I wouldn't see it in the PPA yet ?20:42
dobeymterry: ping20:45
mterrydobey, hi20:47
dobeymterry: hey, i saw you sent http://old.nabble.com/gir-ABI-change-td30509226.html ; can you answer some more technical concerns about that change?20:48
mterrydobey, I'll try20:48
dobeymterry: do you know why debian made that change? is there an e-mail archive i can read on debian-devel or something?20:49
dobeymterry: it seems like the resulting gir files are still in /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/ (which is obviously not 1.2)20:50
mterrydobey, they made the change because gir 1.2 format files are incompatible with gir 1.0 files, despite sharing the same name20:50
mterrydobey, correct20:50
mterrydobey, GNOME upstream decided not to update the file location20:50
mterrydobey, under the assumption that not enough people would be affected to do it right20:50
mterry(my interpretation, obviously not a quote)20:51
mterryAs for a Debian email...  I don't have one at hand20:51
dobeymterry: ok that is a bit off. and makes it even harder for me to do what i'm trying to do :(20:52
mterrydobey, what's that?20:52
dobeymterry: so we have 'nightly' builds of all the ubuntuone client projects. some of them have gir data for the C libraries. and we're currently only using one packaging branch/recipe per project to build these nightlies. this means that we now have to name the packages differently on lucid/maverick vs. narwhal (even though they contain the same files on disk). so i was going to make a substvar to name the package correctly, b20:55
dobeymterry: also, what will happen if upstream gets past 1.0 and decides to change the file format again, and actually call it 1.2? seems like a conflict of interest there, no?20:55
mterrydobey, that won't happen.  upstream calls the current abi version 1.2.  You can see by checking the actual file contents of a gir.  it has a version=1.2 line somewhere. They just chose not to update the location20:57
mterrydobey, so if they go to 1.3, we'll see whether they update the file location or not.  but that would only affect parellel installability20:57
dobeyhrmm, actually, calling it 'abi' is a bit weird too.21:00
dobeybut anyway21:00
dobeyis there any way i can determine if it's 1.0 or 1.2 or whatever i need to use, from running a script or something?21:01
mterrydobey, well, it probably means abi in the context of the typelib21:02
mterrydobey, for gir, yes.  you see the <repository> root node?  it has a version attribute21:02
mterrydobey, for typelib, I'm not so sure21:02
dobeyno, where do i get a repository root node?21:02
dobeyi'm pretty sure parsing some random xml to try and guess the version isn't the right way to go about it, anyway21:03
mterrydobey, open /usr/share/gir-1.0/xlib-2.0.gir21:03
mterrydobey, you're not guessing.  it says right there21:03
dobeymterry: but what happens if the file i decide to parse says "1.0" but the gir tools that generate the file i'm installing create a "1.2" file?21:05
dobeythen the package would be named wrong. so parsing someone else's .gir files won't work (and i can't parse mine since it's not yet built)21:06
mterrydobey, oh i see your question.  you want to know which version of the tools you have21:06
dobeyi want to be able to substvar the correct version into the binary package name, yes21:07
mterrydobey, well, you could either check which version of g-ir-scanner is installed (by checking gobject-introspection's package version number, it doesn't seem to have a --version) or go by distro codename21:08
dobeyyeah, none of the g-ir-* seem to have a --version option :(21:08
mterrydobey, I don't know which version shipped with maverick21:08
dobeyalthough i am not sure that would help21:08
dobeylucid had 0.6.8, maverick 0.9.3, and narwhal has 0.10.0 as of today, but did have 0.9.12 for most of its life prior to today21:10
mterrydobey, I don't know which generated which gir offhand.  You might want to check the output to know21:11
* mterry goes afk21:18
dobeymterry: thanks anyway21:39
