MTecknology!info nginx natty03:16
ubottunginx (source: nginx): small, but very powerful and efficient web server and mail proxy. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.54-4 (natty), package size 5 kB, installed size 80 kB03:16

ScottKMTecknology: Please play with the bots elsewhere.04:09
MTecknologyScottK: all i did was looked at the version..04:10
ScottKOK. Based on the :D, it looked to me like you were messing around.04:11
MTecknologyno, I was excited to know for sure that particular version was pushed through; been busy and never followed up and figured this is the easiest and quickest way to check04:12
ScottKOK.  rmadison nginx would be another way.04:12

jimqodeWhat is the procedure for becoming a package maintainer for a package?14:40
tumbleweedjimqode: Ubuntu doesn't have maintainers for packages. If you care about a package, just start looking after it (i.e. subscribe to its bugs, and trigae the existing ones)14:40
jimqodetumbleweed, who does the packagin of new versions?14:41
tumbleweedjimqode: for most packages, the mainatiner in Debian. Otherwise, whoever wants to14:42
jimqodetumbleweed, I see. The versions on ubuntu are not usually bleeding edge. Is that deliberate?14:44
tumbleweedthe latest released version of most packages are uploaded to Debian unstable as soon as the maintaire thinks they are ready (normally as soon as the maintainer notices)14:46
tumbleweedwe automatically sync whatever appears in Debian, until DebianImportFreeze14:46

huatsdoes anybody can refresh me the relationship between files in /usr/share/pyshared and /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.X ?18:34
huatsScottK, probably :)18:34
ScottKProbably.18:36
tumbleweedthe python policy describes it, IIRC18:37
ScottKhuats: For python (python3 is different) /usr/share/pyshared is where we want code that's common across python versions installed.  It's then symlinked to /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.X  and the .pyc files (which are python version specific) go there.18:38
huatsScottK thanks18:38
ScottKbarry will now explain all the ways that explanaition is wrong/incomplete.18:38
huatsthat was my understanding18:39
ScottKhuats: Use dh_python2 and it will do the right thing.18:39
tumbleweedbut depending on the python helper used, the symlink could be in the package, or done in postinst18:39
huatsI am working on a package that have some extra .py (not only the __init__.py I mean) in the /usr/share/pyshared18:40
huatsand I couldn't figure out why18:40
huats:(18:40
barryif it's new packaging, *please* use dh_python2 :)18:40
huatsit is not a new one :(18:40
huatswell it is a package for a software that is not yet in the distro18:41
huatsit uses python-support18:41
barryhuats: it's very easy to convert from pysupport to dh_python2 :)18:41
ScottKpysupport does it slightly differently.18:41
ScottKI lost track on the details.18:42
barryyeah, i have a hard time keeping it all straight too.  dh_python{2,3} is the new goodness18:42
huatsbarry,  then I'll have a look18:42
barryhuats: http://wiki.debian.org/Python/PythonSupportToDHPython218:42
huatsbarry, thanks18:43
huatsand ScottK and tumbleweed thanks too18:44
huatsbarry, just as a side note I can't use dh_python2 since I need to have a working release on lucid and afaik the  python needed version as listed on the wiki page is not on lucid19:10
barryhuats: i think there's a backport, but that might not help you.  doko or ScottK might know19:13
ScottKNot afaik.19:13
ScottKhuats: What I do on lucid is just log into a maverick/natty chroot.19:13
ScottK(for building the source package)19:13
ScottKIf someone wanted to prepare a dh_python2 backport, it's probably a very safe thing to d.19:14
ScottKd/do19:14
ScottKI just haven't gotten round to it (and probably won't)19:14
huatsok ScottK19:18
huatsthanks !19:18

ari-tczewdoes anybody know how to fix following warnings? dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libusb-0.1.so.4 could be avoided if "debian/clementine/usr/bin/clementine" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).20:23
ari-tczewis it important?20:23
paultagari-tczew: yeah, it means that you're adding in the library at link-time, so it depends on it, but it's not getting called anywhere in the code20:25
paultagari-tczew: it's a good thing(tm) to fix20:25
SpamapSWould anybody care to review this package for possible upload to natty (I know its very late for NEW ;)  bug #74614220:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 746142 in Ubuntu "[needs-packaging] wordpress-drizzle 0.2.0" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/74614220:26
paultagari-tczew: e.g. let's say libfoo is uselessly linked against bar. let's say `gcc -o bar ./bar.c' works. the build now is doing `gcc -o bar ./bar.c -lfoo'20:26
micahgSpamapS: probably better off getting in Debian and backporting from oneiric20:27
SpamapSmicahg: why?20:27
micahgSpamapS: you need an FFe to get it in at this point20:28
paultagSpamapS: it closes no bugs and is a new feature :)20:28
paultagSpamapS: get it in debian :)20:28
SpamapSI think its warranted. Its a php file, a symlink, and some documentation...20:28
SpamapSand it was promised in a blueprint20:28
paultagSpamapS: should have got it done before FFe ;)20:29
paultagerm, FF20:29
SpamapSI get two very different messages when I talk to different people about universe.20:29
SpamapSOne side says its ok to add new packages late. The other side says no. ;)20:29
micahgSpamapS: with good reason, it's easier to get something in universe late than in main, but you still need the release team ACK on it20:30
SpamapSOk, so, assuming I'm going to go and get their ACK.. would anyone care to review it with that in mind? ;)20:30
