[03:53] <freeflying> hi guys, I'm wondering if its possible to emove an upload from repository
[08:10] <dholbach> good morning
[08:58] <freeflying> dholbach: hi
[08:58] <dholbach> hi freeflying
[08:58] <freeflying> dholbach: do you know whom shall I check with to see if I have upload permit or not?
[08:59] <dholbach> as far as I can see you are in ~ubuntu-dev so you should have some upload rights, but I can't exactly tell right now which packages you can upload
[09:00] <dholbach> geser, ^?
[09:01] <iulian> Morning.
[09:01] <freeflying> dholbach: even a pacakge maintained by myself in universe need to be grant privilige?
[09:02] <dholbach> freeflying, is it a package that is not in Ubuntu yet?
[09:02] <freeflying> dholbach: it is
[09:03] <dholbach> freeflying, everybody needs to get their package approved if it has never been in Ubuntu before
[09:03] <freeflying> dholbach: ic, but it has been uploaded before, so not a new one
[09:03] <dholbach> oh ok
[09:04] <dholbach> bdrung, Laney, geser: ^ can one of you check if freeflying has upload rights for the package?
[09:04] <dholbach> freeflying, which package is it?
[09:04] <freeflying> dholbach: thanks
[09:04] <freeflying> dholbach: ubuntu-chinese-meta
[09:09] <freeflying> bdrung: Laney geser http://paste.ubuntu.com.cn/84089  error mesages
[09:14] <jussi> o/
[09:15] <jussi> good morning my super motus!
[09:15] <jussi> I am guessing its too late to drag in a package from debian for universe?
[09:15] <jussi> Im thinking of http://packages.debian.org/sid/openerp-web
[09:21] <dholbach> jussi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess
[09:28] <Laney> freeflying: that's not an error with launchpad, that's a dput problem
[09:28] <Laney> check the signature on your changes file
[09:40] <bdrung> dholbach, freeflying: http://paste.debian.net/113979/
[10:15] <ajmitch> Laney: there was a LP error that was cauing it to throw bogus GPG warnings
[10:17]  * ajmitch doesn't see the package in the queue though
[11:02] <Laney> i didn't know lp checked the signature at that time
[11:03] <geser> the new FTP server (from soyuz) does it
[11:04] <Laney> interesting
[11:04] <geser> but sometimes (like now) the ftp server and the keyserver don't want to talk to each other
[11:04] <geser> but sometimes the upload gets accepted anyways
[11:07] <freeflying> Laney: so what shall I do?
[11:11] <Laney> freeflying: sounds like it's a launchpad bug, so ask in #launchpad i guess
[11:11] <freeflying> Laney: it works now, thanks
[13:40] <poolie> hi all, i'd like to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-demjson/+bug/753035
[13:40] <poolie> the fix is pretty straightforward
[13:40] <poolie> i have a patch, but it's also fixed upstream in a later release, which is now in debian
[13:41] <poolie> can we still sync that across?
[13:42] <Riddell> poolie: yes is the sync doesn't have notable other changes
[13:43] <Riddell> if it's a new upstream bugfix only release that should be ok
[13:43] <Riddell> if it has new features it needs a FFe and probably won't get in
[13:44] <poolie> only bug fixes according to the upstream changelog
[13:44] <poolie> i will have a look at the diff
[13:44] <Riddell> poolie: ok file a bug report, subscribe ubuntu-archive and ping me with the number
[13:48] <poolie> Riddell, will my existing bug report do?
[13:49] <poolie> 753035
[13:50] <Riddell> poolie: yes just add a "please sync version X from debian [unstable,experimental,testing]"
[13:50] <poolie> k thanks
[13:53] <poolie> ok done
[13:57] <Riddell> poolie: I'll sync it after beta is out, it'll still need to get approved by an archive admin since we're in freeze
[13:58] <poolie> thanks for that
[13:58] <poolie> it's not the most important program in the world but it does make it a bit useless
[13:58] <poolie> s//this bug does
[14:40] <jussi> dholbach: thank you for your help, I filed the freeze exception bug, shadeslayer built the package and Pitti acked it :) Really happy how fast things can happen :)
[15:21] <ricotz> micahg, hello, if you havent heard of this one perhaps it is considerable for packaging https://github.com/nougad/firefox-gnome-keyring.git
[15:21] <ricotz> micahg, g2g, sorry
[16:52] <c10ud> hello, i have a question: there's python-papyon (it should be in main, used by empathy and emesene (universe)) that currently had important fixes. is there a deadline to propose a ffe? current version is 0.5.4, next version is still unreleased, we're testing hard the changes along with the admins
[16:53] <micahg> c10ud: hard freeze for main is today
[16:54] <c10ud> next will be 0.5.5, 10 little diffs from 0.5.4 and they're all bugfix. i'm not really into the ubuntu/debian process but does that mean the package cannot be updated anymore?
[16:56] <micahg> lfaraone: does firefox-sugar-activity need updating for firefox 4?
[16:56] <micahg> c10ud: you might want to ask in #ubuntu-releasre
[16:56] <micahg> *#ubuntu-release
[16:57] <c10ud> ok, thanks
[17:14] <bdmurray> How can I go about getting a sync from debian done for gpsprune?  Its a bug fix only for bug 735412.
[17:15] <micahg> bdmurray: create a sync request or change that bug to a sync request (requestsync)
[17:15] <bdmurray> micahg: request sync will modify an existing bug?
[17:16] <micahg> bdmurray: no, but you can copy the syntax into the bug if you like or just create a new bug
[17:17] <micahg> bdmurray: if you do the former, set to wishlist/confirmed (assuming you did the MOTU checks) and subscribe ubuntu-archive, otherwise, wishlist/new and subscribe sponsors
[17:21] <lfaraone> micahg: it shouldn't' need changes.
[17:22] <micahg> lfaraone: have you tested it?
[17:23] <lfaraone> micahg: no, but it doesn't modify firefox or interact with it beyond wrapping it.
[17:25] <micahg> bdrung: I'd like to switch vlc to build-depend  on firefox-dev for the NPAPI headers
[17:26] <bdrung> micahg: if that works. would be nice if it can be included in the debian package (alternative build depends)
[17:27] <micahg> bdrung: well, we still have xulrunner-dev, but that might go away by release
[17:34] <micahg> bdrung: should I just upload a new vlc later with the firefox-dev change if it works and/or should I commit the change to pkg-multimedia ubuntu branch?
[17:36] <bdrung> micahg: in the ubuntu branch first (so i can have a look at it)
[17:37] <bdrung> micahg: i uploaded 1.1.9-1ubuntu1 some time ago and it waits for approval
[17:48] <ScottK> bdrung: Accepted.
[17:49] <ScottK> mdeslaur: I rejected your vlc upload because bdrung's included the security fix (and other stuff).
[17:49] <mdeslaur> ScottK: that's fine, thanks
[20:10] <bigcx2> hey all
[20:11] <bigcx2> i have a question about bumping a package version
[20:11] <bigcx2> i have a package i got via apt-get source
[20:11] <bigcx2> i already made some changes to it
[20:11] <bigcx2> and i just ran dch -i
[20:12] <bigcx2> edited the changelog
[20:12] <bigcx2> and i get:
[20:12] <bigcx2> dch warning: no orig tarball found for the new version.
[20:12] <bigcx2> and then when i build with dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
[20:12] <bigcx2> it errors out with
[20:13] <bigcx2> dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no orig.tar file found
[20:13] <bigcx2> this is in natty
[20:13] <bigcx2> has anyone run into this before?
[20:19] <Ampelbein> bigcx2: do you have the tarball that fits the new upstream version?
[20:26] <ziviani> Hi all
[20:27] <ziviani> suppose I have a package that I want it to perform somethings before installing
[20:28] <ziviani> if the current system is natty I want it to do something different
[20:29] <ziviani> so I created my package.preinst and using lsb_release I did what I want
[20:30] <ziviani> However, suppose that I have a lib to be copied from the package to the filesystem and, if it's natty I don't want this lib copied in the filesystem
[20:32] <ziviani> the only way I see to address it is returning something different from 0 in my preinst script, which throws an error in the installing
[20:33] <ziviani> this is a bad idea
[20:34] <ziviani> does anybody knows how may I exclude some files to be installed from the preinst script?
[20:36] <micahg> ziviani: you should do that in rules, not in preinst
[20:38] <Ampelbein> but wouldn't that only apply to package build time and not install time?
[20:38] <ziviani> micahg, but how would I know for which Ubuntu version this package will be installed
[20:39] <micahg> ziviani: well, we build packages for each release separately
[20:40] <ziviani> micahg, hmmmmmm
[20:40] <ziviani> micahg, I think this is my case now
[20:41] <ziviani> micahg, Ampelbein, thanks!!
[20:41] <micahg> ziviani: so, at build time, you override dh_install and remove the file if it's natty
[20:41] <micahg> or later
[20:42] <ziviani> micahg, perfect man I got your point. Thank you very much!
[21:09] <chrisccoulson> lfaraone, you have a WI assigned to you on here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/packageselection-desktop-n-firefox-4/
[21:09] <chrisccoulson> do you want to postpone that?
[21:10] <micahg> chrisccoulson: I asked him earlier and he said it shouldn't need any changes, but hasn't tested
[21:10] <chrisccoulson> ah, ok. thanks
