AnAntHello, is there some page (preferably on Debian) regarding listing -lfoo before the object files using it when linking ?11:38
RAOFAnAnt: I think it's DSOLinking; let me google it.11:39
AnAntok11:39
AnAnterm, I don't think so11:39
AnAnthttp://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking11:40
RAOFYup, that's it.11:40
AnAntbut I don't see the mention of what I asked about there11:40
AnAntit talks about using --as-needed11:41
RAOFHm, you're right.11:41
RAOFBut what you're talking about is the fact that objects that contain definitions need to appear to the right of the objects that reference those definitions on the linker line, right?11:43
AnAntand yup11:45
AnAntyup11:45
RAOFSo, I think that's an interaction with --as-needed.  The linker *always* has that positional behaviour, but with --as-needed if the library hasn't been used to resolve some unresolved symbols already, it's dropped.11:47
AnAntRAOF: so you mean, that this is required only when --as-needed is used (which is the case in natty), right ?11:48
RAOFThe linker *always* has that positional behaviour; you should be listing objects with unresolved symbols before the libraries which resolve those symbols regardless.11:49
RAOFI *think* that --as-needed makes things fail more often if you don't do the right thing.11:49
RAOFAnAnt: You'll notice that the Debian page says “Object files, including .la files from a package build must appear before any library on the command line”, although it doesn't justify that.11:52
AnAntRAOF: but what I am talking about is that the -lfoo should appear before the object files, not vice versa11:53
RAOFUnder what circumstances is that necessary?11:53
AnAntRAOF: "gcc -lncursesw test.c" failed, yet "gcc test.c -lncursesw" worked !11:54
AnAntRAOF: that's on natty , on maverick it didn't matter11:55
RAOFTo me, that looks like the -lncursesw is after the object files, as expected.11:55
RAOF(When it works)11:55
AnAntoh, sorry, you're right11:56
cjwatsonyes.  folks who've worked on other Unix systems will have seen similar things there11:57
cjwatson(aside from AIX, which is totally backwards)11:57
cjwatsonthis is one of those cases where gcc let people get away with stuff so they didn't notice, but if you were trying to be portable you'd work left-to-right anyway11:58

cjwatsonthinking about it Breaks will probably (ahem) break it too.  I suggest Replaces alone until we've unstuck the builds, and then we can add the Breaks back in afterwards15:56
cjwatsonit should definitely not be Conflicts though.  That would make maverick->natty upgrades a total nightmare.15:57

doko_Laney: do you upload a package more than once?16:09
Laneyif it becomes uninstallable again16:10
doko_Laney: how would it?16:10
Laneydue to one of its rdepends changing abi16:10
doko_and that cannot be done by uploading the packages in the correct order?16:11
Laneythat is what is done16:11
Laneybut if one package breaks abi then all packages from that point downwards in the graph must be rebuilt16:11
jhuntogra: there is always a chance :) Seriously, there is discussion on the upstart-devel mailing list about this. Scott has questions regarding the strategy. I'll take a look tomorrow and give you and update then if that's ok?16:11
doko_hmm, ok. just thought I did see some packages uploaded more than once16:12

pittipython -c '"%s ä" % u"a"' gives me an UnicodeDecodeError, as documented17:45
pittibut what kind of black magic does pygtk do? python -c 'import gtk; print "%s ä" % u"a"'  -> that works17:45
pitti(I don't think it's related to stdout -- I'm trying to set a GtkLabel)17:45
broderthat's amazing17:47
pittiI checked the pygtk source for "textdomain", "locale", "UTF-8", "UTF8", nothing plausible there17:48
Sarvattcjwatson: Replaces: wasn't enough it looks like..  http://paste.ubuntu.com/558189/17:48
broderpitti: i would look for something evil wherever it is that pygtk sets up the separate main loop thread and stuff17:48
pittioh, pangomodule.c does17:48
pitti    /* set the default python encoding to utf-8 */17:48
apwpitti, could it have changed the default binding for stdout, pushed a unicode thingy onto it?17:48
pitti    PyUnicode_SetDefaultEncoding("utf-8");17:48
pittiapw: that was my first guess, but my original program crashes on GtkLabel.set_label(), which doesn't touch stdout17:49
apwwoh that looks scarey17:49
pittibarry: do you know whether I can do the equivalent of PyUnicode_SetDefaultEncoding("utf-8") in Python?17:49
cjwatsonSarvatt: can you add '-o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true' to that?17:51
broderpitti: i see a sys.setdefaultencoding in the source, but it appears to be ifdef'd out17:51
Sarvattcjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/558191/17:51
broderhmm, no. something more complicated is going on, because sys.getdefaultencoding is #ifdef'd the same way and that works17:52
pittibroder: hm, not in my copy of pygtk-2.22.017:52
broderpitt: sorry, i'm looking in python617:52
brodererr, 2.617:52
pittibroder: anyway, above call looks very much like the reason17:52
pittibroder: ooh, indeed! that might be the magic17:52
pittibroder: right, can't call that, not available17:53
pittiok, I'm going to actually fix the source then17:53
broderpitti: which is weird, because it appears to be ifdef'd the same way as sys_getdefaultencoding, which works17:53
tkamppeteramorphous1, hi17:53
kklimondasetdefaultencoding is available only during site.py evaluating17:54
pittiso pygtk hacked around that by using the C API -- cheating!17:54

tormodBlackZ, what is unclear?22:06

persiaPlease, could we continue to request sponsorship for removal requests from non-members of ubuntu-dev?23:43
persiaI've seen any number of such requests that were immediately unactionable for a variety of reasons, and it would be good to catch those before they reach the archive admins.23:44
micahgari-tczew: archive admins shouldn't be tasked with doing the initial verification as they already have plenty of work to do, they are of course a sanity check on the final removal23:44
persiaNote that any archive-admin is perfectly capable of performing the removal sponsorship if they happen to feel so motivated: the point is to encourage more folk to do initial review for non-developers, not to block action in any way.23:47
