| cjwatson | azeem: I agree with other commenters; I don't think the relatively small benefit of avoiding a few manual sync requests outweighs the risk of automatically-induced mistakes. IME (I process the bulk of manual sync requests) it's rare for the Debian text to be identical to the Ubuntu text anyway. | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | Also rare for people to include the entire Ubuntu changelog. To a first approximation I only see it when the package didn't previously exist in Debian. | 00:04 |
| lfaraone | maco, ajmitch, could've sworn I signed both... | 00:11 |
| ajmitch | lfaraone: yeah I misread, it was maco that forgot :) | 00:13 |
| * ajmitch shouldn't read email from the list archives | 00:13 | |
| lfaraone | hah. Actually, that was how I got the right message-id for the thread. (I don't subscribe to newmaint) | 00:14 |

| dholbach | good morning | 07:22 |
| Rhonda | Hmm, I guess I should drop the idea of PPU rights, with no endorsements I guess I won't get anywhere. :) | 07:45 |
| * Rhonda . o O ( *shamelessplug* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GerfriedFuchs/DeveloperApplication ) | 07:46 | |
| ajmitch | Rhonda: where are you trying to get endorsements? | 07:46 |
| * ajmitch goes to look | 07:46 | |
| Rhonda | \o/ for 500 Internal Server Erorr | 07:49 |
| ajmitch | heh | 07:49 |
| Rhonda | Error even, but if one would type Error as Error, it wouldn't be an Error, would it? | 07:49 |
| * ajmitch hasn't directly sponsored uploads of yours, but has seen your work | 07:52 | |
| ajmitch | I think I can endorse you | 07:53 |
| Rhonda | I think there weren't any sponsored uploads of mine. %-) | 07:53 |
| Rhonda | Well, none for these three packages anyway. | 07:53 |
| ajmitch | they were mostly syncs, weren't they? | 07:53 |
| Rhonda | Yes, some sponsored syncrequests in the early days. | 07:53 |
| Rhonda | Ah, there was one for irssi recently. Yes, lucid-backports for irssi. :) | 07:54 |
| Rhonda | And I'm still uncertain about that beep bug. I guess all I can do for it is just document how to enable it prominently, but it's not beep's fault that it doesn't beep anymore when the pcspkr module is blacklisted these days. | 07:55 |
| Rhonda | I like this one: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=184055#5 | 08:04 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 184055 in beep "beep on sparc sounds very bad" [Minor,Open] | 08:04 |
| dholbach | hrw, what do you think about https://code.launchpad.net/~hrw/ubuntu/natty/armel-cross-toolchain-base/1.63/+merge/57852? should it still go into natty (does it qualify for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SRU?) or is it OK to just go into oneiric? | 08:05 |
| dholbach | hrw, same question about lp:~hrw/ubuntu/natty/gcc-4.4-armel-cross/1.40 | 08:11 |
| dholbach | menesis, should https://code.launchpad.net/~menesis/ubuntu/natty/wsgi-intercept/natty/+merge/58498 still go into natty or is it ok if it just goes into oneiric? | 08:12 |
| menesis | dholbach: first into oneiric, of course. but would be good to have in natty as well | 08:15 |
| dholbach | menesis, can you put up a merge proposal for oneiric? I'm happy to review and test it and get it in | 08:16 |
| menesis | another proposal, or resubmit this one? | 08:17 |
| hrw | dholbach: I am preparing updates for oneiric | 08:17 |
| hrw | dholbach: once will get rid of most of lintian complains I will upload | 08:18 |
| dholbach | hrw, should the changes still get into natty? if not, I'll ask somebody to mark them as irrelevant | 08:18 |
| dholbach | (irrelevant for natty) | 08:18 |
| hrw | dholbach: last changes were mostly lintian overrides only so nothing revelant rather | 08:18 |
| wejaeger | Hey, anyone up for reviewing http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/l2tp-ipsec-vpn | 08:19 |
| dholbach | ok, great - thanks, I'll ask somebody to get them off the sponsoring list for natty then | 08:19 |
| hrw | dholbach: thx | 08:19 |
| hrw | dholbach: now I can upload armel/armhf cross toolchains on my own ;D | 08:19 |
| dholbach | nice :) | 08:19 |
| hrw | yep | 08:41 |
| hrw | got universe contributor access on uds monday | 08:41 |
| dholbach | nice | 08:41 |
| hrw | indeed | 08:42 |

| scott-work | anyone seen persia lately? | 22:31 |
| * highvoltage saw him on Friday | 22:31 | |
| Laney | ;-) | 22:32 |
| highvoltage | and Laney did too :) | 22:33 |
| Laney | highvoltage: cool pics | 22:33 |
| highvoltage | yeah, looking at them I realise I should get a better camera next time! | 22:34 |
| scott-work | highvoltage: oh, you mean at UDS | 22:34 |
| highvoltage | scott-work: yep | 22:34 |
| scott-work | i haven't seen him online much in quite a while | 22:34 |
| directhex | persia is definitely different in real life to what irc implies | 22:34 |
| Laney | i want to try some of the "black dragon" i got | 22:34 |

| thekittster | Hello everyone, if anyone's interested in getting the new mingw-w64 toolchain synced from Debian to Ubuntu I have the missing link | 22:35 |
| thekittster | I've uploaded a gcc-mingw-w64-bootstrap package to REVU: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/gcc-mingw-w64-bootstrap | 22:35 |
| thekittster | I'd appreciate a review or two ;-) | 22:35 |
| highvoltage | Laney: I hoped that your message to -motu would get more response | 22:35 |
| thekittster | The needs-packaging bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-mingw-w64/+bug/783175 | 22:35 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 783175 in gcc-mingw-w64 (Ubuntu) "[needs-packaging] mingw-w64 needs bootstrapping" [Wishlist,In progress] | 22:35 |
| Laney | highvoltage: indeed, I had hoped that too | 22:36 |
| Laney | maybe that confirms things ... | 22:36 |
| scott-work | directhex: how is that? | 22:37 |
| directhex | scott-work: i always pictured another random nerd. this is my default picture for random nerds on irc | 22:38 |
| highvoltage | in my experience motus are hardly ever random nerds | 22:40 |
| highvoltage | (but persia is indeed more interesting) | 22:41 |
| directhex | nothing wrong with random nerds | 22:42 |
| scott-work | highvoltage: i've never seen him and you are killing me with curiosity now :P | 22:46 |
| highvoltage | ] | 22:49 |
| highvoltage | scott-work: he's a very friendly, honest and intelligent person. so for me he's the same on irc as irl :) | 22:50 |
| scott-work | highvoltage: i don't think i can't imagine him other than as you described | 22:54 |
| aaronr | Hi all. If a package is abandoned upstream by the Debian project, but is still in Ubuntu, what's the process for getting that package a maintainer? The mtop package currently has a 6.5 year old bug in the post-install script: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mtop/+bug/77980 | 23:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 77980 in mtop (Ubuntu) "mtop failed to install (wrong/no password)" [Medium,Confirmed] | 23:13 |
| arand | aaronr: If it's indeed orphaned in Debian, then likely it will be a matter of someone adopting it, if you care about it, that'd be you ;) | 23:17 |
| aaronr | Well I don't mind taking it on... if I'm not going to be stepping on any toes by doing so? I'm not an expert at packaging, but I've done a few bits, and happy to learn the bits I don't know. | 23:20 |
| jtaylor | according to bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595822 upstream is dead | 23:21 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 595822 in ftp.debian.org "RM: mtop -- RoQA; orphaned, dead upstream, minimal popcon" [Normal,Open] | 23:21 |
| jtaylor | you should then also think about becomming upstream | 23:21 |
| aaronr | Can someone point me in the direction of some documentation I should read about this sort of thing (both Ubuntu & Debian)? I'm happy to learn, but don't want to ask lots of questions here that are already answered somewhere else. :) | 23:23 |
| gusnan | aaronr, there is some info here: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ | 23:26 |
| arand | aaronr: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o : set the status of the bug, upload new version to debian mentors, request sponsorship. Pretty much. | 23:27 |
| aaronr | awesome. thanks :) | 23:27 |
