achiangi've an odd question -- if someone else makes a *.changes/*.dsc and signs it, can i re-sign it to make an upload to a PPA?01:31
micahgachiang: yes, but you should use something like backportpackage from u-d-t instead so it has your name in teh changelog01:32
achiangmicahg: hm, how will the package be versioned then, after using backportpackage?01:33
micahgachiang: unless you're sponsoring the PPA upload for someone01:33
achiangmicahg: yes, the situation is more similar to me sponsoring the PPA upload01:33
micahgachiang: so, yes, you can, just use debsign -k01:34
achiangmicahg: i don't really want to re-version the package, because it's a kernel package, and there are ABI issues i dont' fully understand01:34
achiangmicahg: thanks, i'll play around with debsign -k01:35

lamefunO_o01:48
Piciyes, really.01:48
lamefunO_o why?01:49
RAOFlamefun: Unlikely, I think.  It's not an SRU candidate, and it requries gtk changes IIRC, which makes it unlikely to be put into -backports.01:49
lamefunbtw will there be a GUI control to control size of invisible resize border?02:01
RAOFI wouldn't expect so.02:07
StevenKRAOF: O hai?03:50
RAOFStevenK: Hai o?03:50
StevenKRAOF: Can I instruct Do to forget what I want for a particular key?03:50
StevenK(So I can retrain it)03:50
RAOFNo.  You can get it to forget everything (by deleting the history file), but not specifics.03:51
RAOFwhat's your use-case?03:51
RAOF(ie: convince me to implement it, or to fix your problem in a better way ☺)03:52
StevenKRAOF: If I query the weighting, I can do it manually03:52
StevenKEr, If I can query03:52
StevenKRAOF: But I can explain the whole story if you like03:53
RAOFYeah, that'd be good.03:53
StevenKRAOF: I use the Rhytmbox plugin to control it -- means I can summon Do, hit n, e for Next and skip to the next song easily. I also do the same thing for Pause.03:55
RAOFOk.03:57
StevenKRAOF: Play is where I have a wierd issue. It would always put an album of mine in the queue whenever I used Do to instruct Rhythmbox to Play. Turns out the top result for "Play" is "Play an item in Rhythmbox", which always picks this album. The second result is "Play music in Rythmbox", which is the more generic play03:57
StevenKSo, I'd like to tell Do to default to the second result for "Play"03:58
RAOFOk.  Well, you can kinda work around this by just exectuting the “play” that you want over and over.  Hitting <shift>+<enter> when it's selected will execute it without dismissing Do, so you could just do that over and over again for a while :)03:59
* RAOF now has an *awful* lot of terminals on his desktop :)03:59
StevenKHaha03:59
StevenKRAOF: The shift-enter trick has done it, thanks!04:00
RAOFFeel like uploading some X input drivers very few people use, then?04:00
RAOFhttp://cooperteam.net/Packages has a fine selection to choose from :)04:01
StevenKCan't I just buy you a beer, like non-core-dev's have to do? :-P04:01
RAOFWell, you could do that :)04:02
micahgRAOF: are those all in main?04:02
RAOFmicahg: No, I think they're all in universe.04:03
micahgRAOF: ok, I can try to do a few if you like04:03
RAOFYup, all universe, as befits input drivers that noone uses.04:04
RAOFmicahg: Ta.04:04
StevenKRAOF: Or, 'out of the archive'04:05
StevenK?04:05
RAOFStevenK: Well, they *are* maintained upstream, and there does exist hardware that uses them.04:05
RAOFYou can expect a couple of archive removal bugs from the X team shortly, though; some of the drivers *aren't* maintained upstream.04:06
RAOFTime to restart so that unity doesn't keep killing my terminals!04:06
RAOFGah.  Unity, stop eating the 320 left-most pixels of my screen with an invisible window.04:13
lifelessits a mesage04:13
lifelessyou need a wider screen04:13
RAOFMy display is 2720 pixels wide!04:15
lifelesssee, 2400 is just wrong.04:16
RAOFHow is there not already a bug for this?04:19
micahgRAOF: the A's are done04:21
micahgRAOF: I've almost got the rest of them ready04:42
RAOFAwesomesauce.04:42
* RAOF regrets accidentally letting his MOTU powers lapse.04:42
StevenKRAOF: When is the meeting for your core-dev application?04:42
micahgRAOF: when you get core-dev, you can return the favor ;)04:43
RAOFmicahg: Certainly.04:43
RAOFStevenK: I should get on to that part of the organisation :)04:43
StevenKHaha04:43
micahgRAOF: I noticed some have the merge from experimental and some don't, is that an issue?04:43
RAOFmicahg: No.  The ones which don't have a merge from Debian are the ones where we don't (yet) want to merge from Debian.04:44
micahgRAOF: ok, np, about to upload04:44
RAOFmicahg: Debian's added a shiny new dh series which we don't yet have in our xserver package.04:44
* micahg is happy their names are so different, make tab complete easier04:45
micahgRAOF: all uploaded04:46
RAOFDanke04:46

bigonRiddell: hi, do you think you could reintroduce gjs? the current version in debian build correctly on natty10:27
Riddellbigon: sounds gnomeish, best ask someone who knows about gnomeish things11:02
chrisccoulsonbigon - what do we need gjs for?11:03
chrisccoulsonwe got rid of it because nothing uses it11:04
bigonchrisccoulson: well gnome-shell will use it (even if it's not in the official archive), and other project could use it too in the futur11:10
chrisccoulsonbigon - for gnome-shell, it's in the gnome 3 PPA (or should be)11:10

janimofor instance finding symbols from stripped system libs using the dbgsyms packages12:06
pittiboth debhelper and pkg-create-dbgsym set the debug link in the ELF files12:06
