AnAntHello, anyone got a natty chroot ?09:18
persiaAnAnt, Sure.  What do you need?09:20
AnAntpersia: thanks, I'll try something here first09:22
AnAntcompiling this test code fails on natty: http://pastebin.com/0XGD4kXB , I compile as follows: gcc -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -lncursesw test.c09:30
AnAntI got libncursesw5-dev & libncurses5-dev installed09:30
AnAntpersia: ^09:30
\shAnAnt: doesn't it mean: int main() { ... return(0); }? ,-)09:31
AnAnt\sh: I don't understand09:32
AnAntthe compile error was: undefined reference to addwstr09:32
AnAntanyone knows if there is something wrong with the compile command line ? linker flags ?09:35
persiaAnAnt, fails for me as well.  No idea why.09:35
AnAntit compiles on maverick btw09:36
geserthe usual "ls --as-needed" issue09:37
geserexchange the order of -lncursesw and test.c -> test.c -lncursesw09:37
geserorder does matter with ld --as-needed which is default in natty09:38
persiageser, So -lfoo needs to follow code that uses foo?09:38
geserpersia: exactly09:38
AnAntgeser: aha, thanks09:38
persiaAh!  That explains a few things I've seen.  Thanks.09:38

Laneyyour other mail reminded me ;)11:07
dholbachI'll follow up in a bit11:07
AnAntgeser: thanks, could you give me a link regarding the rationale of listing -lfoo before the source/object files using it ? I want to send a patch to upstream11:23
bdrungdholbach: "The expectations of new developers are appropriate" - what we expect from them or what they expect?11:48
dholbachthe former11:48

dholbachalright... I'll head out into the cold for lunch - see you later11:54
geserAnAnt: I can only point you to the manpage of "ld" and the "-l" option (perhaps also read about "--as-needed")11:58
AnAntgeser: thanks12:00
ari-tczewkklimonda: can we sync atkmm1.6 from experimental and clean up it from REVU?13:39
ari-tczewkklimonda: btw. you have typo in d/changelog - forgot hash, (Closes: 604123)13:40
ari-tczewand why svn :( git is better13:40
ari-tczewbdrung: if you are free, you could sponsor merges from queue13:48
bdrungari-tczew: which?13:49
ari-tczewbdrung: bug 695005 or bug 70538313:49
ubottuLaunchpad bug 695005 in python-numpy (Ubuntu) "Merge python-numpy 1.5.1 (main) from Debian experimental (main)" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/69500513:49

=== Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan
bdrungari-tczew: done python-numpy14:46
bdrungari-tczew: emacs is too big. find an emacs user for sponsoring.14:47
kklimondaari-tczew: we can clean it up from revu but there is no need to sync it. and missing # is not a typo, it closed bug just fine.14:54
ari-tczewbdrung: I asked kees for emacs sponsoring14:55
tumbleweedbdrung: thanks for numpy14:57
bdrungtumbleweed: that was an easy one14:58
tumbleweedIIRC that'll need a few rebuilds now, hopefully smorar will take care of it14:59
ari-tczewRainCT: would be nice if REVU has a script to check whether package exist in Ubuntu or Debian14:59
RainCTari-tczew: Yeah. Send me a patch :)15:00
ari-tczewRainCT: ha ha ha :P15:00
kklimondajdstrand: thanks for doing two upload for hamster-applet and not merging 2.32.1 in the meantime ;)15:01
jdstrandthat's slightly snarky :)15:02
jdstrandI coded up a fix for one of those and noticed a patch was available for the other. it is all I had time for15:02
kklimondajdstrand: I just got confused when I saw 2.31.92-ubuntu4  :)15:05
* bdrung is poking ari-tczew for vlc.15:06
ari-tczewbdrung: would you like me to review?15:08
shadeslayerhow can i specify a sshd port using debsign with -r option?15:09
bdrungari-tczew: yes15:09
tumbleweedshadeslayer: don't know of any option except configuring the host in your .ssh/config (which is a good timesaver, anyway)15:10
shadeslayerok15:10
ari-tczewbdrung: let me finish some things, some minutes15:10
* ari-tczew wishes that some day motu-swat will grant upload access to -security pocket.15:11
jdstrandari-tczew: why that would be helpful, I don't think there is a significant bottleneck atm15:11
jdstrandthe current process provides peer review and more or less timely sponsorship (we have a person dedicated to doing sponsoring each week)15:12
jdstrand(ie, security sponsoring, beyond patch piloting)15:12
ari-tczewjdstrand: that means that only Canonical can maintain that stuff, without community15:13
jdstrandari-tczew: no, Canonical sponsors for the greater community15:14
jdstrandari-tczew: yes, we are theoretically a bottleneck, but in practice we are not because the sponsorship volume is not high15:15
ari-tczewjdstrand: sad to hear that not-payed community is worse15:15
jdstrandari-tczew: who said that? I certainly did not15:15
jdstrandari-tczew: the fact is that few from motu-swat are even acking patches to bugs where ubuntu-security-sponsors is subscribed15:16
ari-tczewjdstrand:  [16:14] <jdstrand> ari-tczew: no, Canonical sponsors for the greater community15:16
ari-tczewCanonical = cash15:16
jdstrandari-tczew: why would full access to the security pocket be given when there is little interest from the greater community to provide and test updates?15:17
ari-tczewcommercialism15:17
jdstrandari-tczew: that is a very odd interpretation of what I said15:17
dholbachari-tczew, I'm not sure where you are going right now - it should not exactly be a surprise that there are members of the community paid to work on Ubuntu15:18
jdstrandari-tczew: there are limitations in LP that don't allow this. I am merely saying that while it would be nice if that limitation was gone, practically speaking, there is no problem getting fixes from the greater community into -security15:18
jdstrandif people just want to get the work done and contribute, there is no problem15:19
ari-tczewjdstrand: so only LP is blocking give access to -security pocket?15:21
jdstrandari-tczew: that, processes surrounding handling of uploads to -security in stable releases, and people15:22
jdstrandso there are technical and procedural things that need to be addressed. once the technical is resolved, I assume motu-swat can develop safe processes requiring peer review, etc15:23
ari-tczewbdrung: thanks for sync review. could you have a look also on related bug 702765 ?15:23
ubottuLaunchpad bug 702765 in libgcrypt11 (Ubuntu) "Please sync libgcrypt11 1.4.6-4 (main) from Debian experimental (main)" [Wishlist,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/70276515:23
ari-tczewjdstrand: I'm an admin of motu-swat so I can manage members properly, if you as ubuntu-security have concerns to any members in the team.15:24
bdrungari-tczew: ping me again once libgpg-error is synced15:25
jdstrandari-tczew: again, you are misinterpreting me. I am not saying anything against you are the members of the motu-swat team. I am saying there isn't a defined process for how motu-swat does peer review, testing, uploads and handling of regressions15:26
ari-tczewbdrung: yea, I'm thinking when last syncs were done15:26
ari-tczew(archive-admin)15:26
jdstrandari-tczew: right now, all that comes for free because the ubuntu-security team handles much of that on the larger community's behalf15:26
jdstrandari-tczew: if we are taken out of the picture (which is what you are suggesting), then processes need to be defined and followed15:27
jdstrandthis is all to ensure our users receive quality updates with the very best chance of being regression free15:27
ari-tczewjdstrand: I'm only volunteer without cash so I can wait only for Canonical grace. I'll review vlc since bdrung asked me for that. Thanks.15:28
jdstrandari-tczew: where is this hostility coming from? I cleared the security sponsors queue last week (and there wasn't much there). mdeslaur is on community sponsoring this week, and iirc has already been looking at the queue15:30
mdeslaurari-tczew: I started looking at vlc this morning15:31
ari-tczewjdstrand: I'm just guessing whether reviewing by motu-swat makes sense.15:31
jdstrandari-tczew: sure it does! if we get a qualified ACK from anyone from ubuntu-security-sponsors, we process it15:32
mdeslaurari-tczew: once I finished build testing it, I'll ack it and upload it15:35
ari-tczewjdstrand: OK, good to hear. I just want to make Ubuntu more community-open in some areas like security.15:36
ari-tczewSo in future I imagine motu-swat as team with upload access to -security in universe.15:36
jdstrandari-tczew: we are striving to be open with the LP that is here now. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/SponsorsQueue discusses how the queue is processed. noticed there is a lot that ubuntu-security-sponosrs can do, of which motu-swat is a member15:38
mdeslaurari-tczew: could you please add the information that's missing to bug #539056 ?16:21
ubottuLaunchpad bug 539056 in drupal5 (Ubuntu Karmic) "backport security fixes from 6.19 and 5.23" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/53905616:21
mdeslaurari-tczew: thanks16:21
ari-tczewmdeslaur: I'll add when I'll have opportunities to test. or maybe you want to do it for me?16:22
mdeslaurari-tczew: you're supposed to test _before_ asking for debdiffs to be sponsored. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdateProcedures16:23
ari-tczewmdeslaur: I can don't preparing fixes if you want.16:24
mdeslaurari-tczew: I don't understand16:24
ari-tczewmdeslaur: I dunno how explain it more, english is not my native.16:25
mdeslaurari-tczew: ok, I'll wait for your testing and updated debdiffs. Thanks.16:29
ari-tczewmdeslaur: IIRC there is no need to add patch which jdstrand asked. I didn't check it yet.16:29
ari-tczewbecause it was related to plugin for drupal, not for stricte drupal16:30
mdeslaurari-tczew: well, could you please update the bug with the info? thanks16:30

Rhondauh oh, requestsync did drop its pant infront of me19:53
RhondaMight it be that the version in debian testing isn't able to work with --lp anymore?19:54
tumbleweedshould work wit h--lp19:54
tumbleweedRhonda: traceback?19:54
RhondaThe traceback somehow gives me the impression it might be related to --lp19:54
RhondaLet me paste it19:55
* tumbleweed always uses --lp. But I also haven't used the version that's in testing for a while... :P19:55
Rhondahttp://paste.debian.net/105662/19:56
tumbleweedRhonda: http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/issues/detail?id=62 <- basically it means connection failed20:01
tumbleweed(as one could gess)20:01
geserRhonda: does the version in testing perhaps use edge.lp which is gone?20:01
tumbleweedgeser: edge.api still seems to exist20:02
tumbleweedthat was my first thought too20:02
RhondaAh. Retry and it worked.20:02
RhondaI think it's related to my background uploading of wesnoth-1.9_1.9.4.orig.tar.gz which blocks a fair amount of my outgoing bandwidth ;)20:02
RhondaIt's only at 18% so far .....20:03
tumbleweedI'll bet :)20:03
RhondaDid I mention that I need betterbandwidth for such stuff?20:03
Rhonda'nuff done for now, see you around.20:09

persiaRainCT, I've extended your membership in ubuntu-sponsors, since you seem to need it, and do sponsoring.  Just ask if you expire again22:59
ari-tczewpersia: do you will be still in DMB?23:00

persiaari-tczew, I have no idea.  I've been nominated for the selection process.  We'll see what happens when the developers express their preferences from the set of nominees.23:01
ari-tczewpersia: who is also nominated?23:03
persiaari-tczew, The list of nominees is currently not disclosed.  It will be announced on Monday.23:03
persiaI will say that the DMB would appreciate more nominations, if folk have preferences.  It never hurts to have a wide selection of folks from whom to choose.23:04
ari-tczewpersia: then how do you know that you have been nominated?23:04
persiaari-tczew, Because I am on the list that receives the nominations.23:05
