anarcati am a debian maintaine trying to figure out how to make a Debian package migrate properly into ubuntu. the package is drush, and people are starting to complain about it being out of date on the ubuntu side of things https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/drush/+bug/74406502:07
ubottuUbuntu bug 744065 in drush (Ubuntu) "drush version incompatible with Drupal 7" [Undecided,New]02:07
anarcatnow i understand that we're are in natty's freeze cycle, but i am not sure how that affects backporting or syncing of packages into whatever ubuntu's "unstable" is (if there is such a thing)02:08
anarcatany idea?02:08
anarcatthe last sync was 6 months ago while the new package has been available on debian for more than three months now: http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/drush.html02:11
StevenKanarcat: In ubuntu-dev-tools there is a tool called requestsync. Use it to request a sync of drush, and include as much information as you can02:13
anarcatStevenK: what if i don't run ubuntu? :)02:14
anarcatStevenK: do you think it's realistic to get drush updated for natty now?02:14
anarcati guess i can just tell people to use the PPA of that guy i don't know :P02:15
anarcathttps://launchpad.net/~brianmercer/+archive/drush02:15
anarcatStevenK: what about a backport to lucid LTS? how does that work?02:18
broderanarcat: ubuntu-dev-tools is in debian as well02:20
anarcatit is? nice02:21

csjohnim partial to 'amp05:02
psusiand vodka? ;)05:03
csjohnhaha normally i take the amp straight with some sort of purpose in mind05:03
csjohnwhat have you guys been working on?05:10
psusime?  I tracked down an installer hang bug that got introduced during the natty dev cycle tonight05:11
csjohnwhat was the cause?05:12
psusithe new scripts added to partman-auto to allow the choice of replacing an existing install with the new version were trying to unmount the partitions they probed with the device name instead of the mount path, and there is apparently a bug in ntfs-3g where it changes the name of a /dev/mapper/ device to /dev/dm-N instead, and so you can't umount with the /dev/mapper name anymore05:13
psusiand you can't umount the /dev/dm-N name either apparently because umount chokes on the dash character, and somehow the installation later hangs if that umount fails... still not sure about that part05:14
csjohnah okay05:15
psusithe installation probably shouldn't hang if that umount fails, but the umount shouldn't fail either, so I now have 3 bugs going and forwarded the one for umount upstream05:15
psusihrm.... what to tackle next?05:16
csjohncheeseburger? haha05:16
csjohnwhat field are you in career wise?05:17

csjohnwow right on05:25
psusiI had a bit of an MMORPG addition that kept taking me away for a while ;)05:25
csjohnlol i was a kid selling computers at a retail store that far back05:26
psusiI nearly went that route... then I decided to get serious and finish college ;)05:27
csjohnlol well i did that in highschool - im 4 months away from finishing university now05:28
psusieven though it didn't teach me jack about computers that I hadn't already learned on my own... silly piece of paper05:28
* psusi needs to get some more people to sponsor his universe-contributor app he has finally gotten around to putting in05:30

psusiit seems I now know more inactive/former devs than active ones05:31
csjohnwhats the turnover rate like?05:32
psusiI'm not sure... like I said, I kept getting sucked back into MMORPGs instead of paying attention until somewhat recently05:35
psusibut it isn't as low as I'd like it to be05:35
psusiI'm still not sure what ever happened to Ben Collins Sussman, and Scott James Remnant recently got stolen away by Google... and I think Theodore Tso worked for canonical at one point too05:36
* psusi loves emacs more the more he uses it05:48
lifelessI don't think ted tso ever worked for us05:49
lifelessben collins is doing something else these days, not sure what05:49
* psusi really needs to get the old e2defrag package put back in the archive soon05:53
psusiit's a shame ted tso and remmy card abandoned it all those years ago05:53
lifelessfilesystems are hard05:58
lifelesslets drink beer :)05:58
StevenKpsusi: Careful, Ben Collins and Ben Collins Sussman are two different people.06:12

psusiStevenK, true06:12
StevenKAnd Ben Collins Sussman was still at CollabNet, last I hard.06:13

StevenKBen Collins was.06:13
