[00:05] <Stryker> is the alpha release able to support nvidia cards yet without xorg crashing?
[00:19] <jbicha> the nvidia drivers work in natty for me
[00:26] <penguin42> anyone around to set a priority? bug 725044 is probably a low - but it might effect multiple SDL apps, and there is a 1 line trivial upstream fix that fixes it
[00:26] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 725044 in gentoo (and 3 other projects) "SDL rendering issue: graphic corruption while scrolling right (affects: 2) (heat: 14)" [Unknown,Unknown] https://launchpad.net/bugs/725044
[00:40] <Ampelbein> penguin42: ok, will set to triaged, prio low and nominate for natty.
[00:41] <penguin42> Ampelbein: Thank you
[00:43] <Ampelbein> penguin42: do you want to prepare a package fixing that?
[00:44] <penguin42> Ampelbein: How would I do that? I can do a quilt patch but what should I put the package version in the changelog to ?
[00:45] <Ampelbein> penguin42: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation if you want to do it properly
[00:46] <Ampelbein> penguin42: do you have experience with debian/ubuntu packaging?
[00:47] <penguin42> Ampelbein: A bit - I can go through the quilt + dch -i -> debdiff, and I have done a handful of small bzr pushes but I'm not confident yet; also this package doesn't seem to be maintained in bzr
[00:48] <Ampelbein> penguin42: all packages in ubuntu now have a bzr branch, accessible via either ubuntu:<package> or lp:ubuntu/<package>
[00:48] <penguin42> Ampelbein: Oh OK, let me see if I can do that then
[00:55] <penguin42> Ampelbein: I'm getting bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/%2Bbranch/ubuntu/libsdl-1.2/" when doing bzr branch lp:ubuntu/libsdl-1.2 libsdl-1.2
[00:57] <penguin42> ah - no dash!
[00:59] <Ampelbein> penguin42: yeah, I think theres a mentiuon of that somewhere
[00:59] <ddecator> you can look up the branch name on lp so you can make sure you're running the right command
[00:59] <penguin42> yeh
[00:59] <penguin42> that's how I found there was no dash
[01:06] <penguin42> should I use the version number suggested by dch -i (i.e. ....ubuntu3 ?)
[01:07] <Ampelbein> penguin42: yes, that's correct
[01:08] <ikt> is it possible to get a backport of a specific fix into past versions of ubuntu?
[01:09] <Ampelbein> !sru | ikt
[01:09] <ubot4`> ikt: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
[01:09] <ikt> ty
[01:19] <penguin42> hmm in bzr how do I edit the commit message - I didn't put the LP: tag into it
[01:20] <penguin42> ah uncommit
[01:21] <Stryker> did they fix the bug for nvidia to work with unity
[01:24] <penguin42> Ampelbein: Ok, I'm confused by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/SeekingSponsorship  it's talking about using debcommit, debcommit says unable to determine commit message using bzr; but what's that actually going to do - I already put an entry in using dch -i  (Where I said Closes: ) and bzr comm it -m  where I did LP: # - what's debcommit after?
[01:26] <Ampelbein> penguin42: you should use debcommit instead of 'bzr commit -m ....'. it will automatically add a commit message extracted from debian/changelog and pass the necessary '--fixes' parameter to bzr
[01:27] <penguin42> ah ok
[01:27] <Ampelbein> penguin42: so the way is: 1. quilt new/add/refresh/pop; 2. dch -i, write changelog with LP: #XX; debcommit; bzr push
[01:28] <Ampelbein> penguin42: oh, add a bzr add quilt patch before that of course
[01:28] <penguin42> Ampelbein: Ah - so the closes: format is for debian bugs not lp bugs?
[01:28] <Ampelbein> penguin42: yes, launchpad looks for 'LP: #' tags
[01:28] <penguin42> ok
[01:33] <penguin42> Ampelbein: bzr lp-propose says bzr: ERROR: lp:~ubuntu-treblig/ubuntu/natty/libsdl1.2/libsdl1.2.fix-725044 has no product.
[01:35] <Ampelbein> penguin42: hmm. if you go to your 'code' page in lp, you should be able to propose merging
[01:36] <penguin42> possibly bug 705666
[01:36] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 705666 in launchpad "lp-propose does not understand packaging (source) branches (affects: 1) (heat: 7)" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/705666
[01:36] <Ampelbein> yes, looks like it
[01:37] <penguin42> should I add a reviewer or review type etc?
[01:40] <Ampelbein> penguin42: it should be automatic
[01:41] <Ampelbein> penguin42: if you look at bug 725044 now, you see a "related branch"
[01:41] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 725044 in gentoo (and 7 other projects) "SDL rendering issue: graphic corruption while scrolling right (affects: 3) (heat: 20)" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/725044
[01:42] <penguin42> Ampelbein: OK, so I've done the propose - so I think that's it other than waiting for people to tell me it's wrong?
[01:43] <Ampelbein> penguin42: there is one thing I spotted (sorry I didn't mention it earlier): you should add patch headers, see http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/
[01:44] <Ampelbein> penguin42: i know that it seems like a lot of work to do for a one-line fix, but it helps in the long run.
[01:44] <penguin42> ooh not come across those - is that on the quilt patch ?
[01:47] <Ampelbein> penguin42: yes, it's for keeping track of the patches
[01:48] <Ampelbein> you can just add those in your local branch and 'bzr push', the rest is done automatically
[01:48] <penguin42> ok, let me just kick quilt into life
[01:48] <Ampelbein> after 'bzr commit' of course
[01:49] <Ampelbein> no, you don't need to use quilt
[01:49] <penguin42> oh just edit the top of the patch?
[01:49] <Ampelbein> yeah
[01:54] <arand> If partman fails to start when launched by debconf, is the appropriate package to report against partman-base?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-base/+bug/729394

[01:58] <penguin42> Ampelbein: Done
[02:00] <Ampelbein> penguin42: looks good now, thanks! now you just have to wait for a core-dev to look at it and upload (as the package is in main). probably on monday someone will look at it!
[02:01] <penguin42> Ampelbein: Thanks for that - I'd been through bits of parts of that before, but not the whole lot and not a lot of the bzr part; I'd not done any of the linking with lp bugs
[02:04] <Ampelbein> penguin42: you did good! it's a one time learning effort and i think will make sponsoring and contributing a lot easier
[02:05] <penguin42> Ampelbein: It's a bit onion like - but not quite as clean; I'd learned the dch -i/debuild type stuff, but then with debcommit it's one layer on top again
[02:07] <Ampelbein> you don't HAVE to use debcommit, it just makes life easier. 'bzr commit -m "changelog part" --fixes XXXX' does the same.
[02:07] <penguin42> hmm OK
[02:08] <micahg> this sounds like a discussion for #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-devel rather than here
[02:08] <penguin42> indeed, sorry it kind of strayed from the original request to set the prio
[02:09] <penguin42> anyway, time for bed!
[02:09] <Ampelbein> gn!
