[16:03] .. [16:03] bjf, sconklin when will the last kernel's be ready for publishing for Karmic and Hardy? [16:04] As soon as they are tested and cert and qa and the archive admins sign off. The stable kernel team is finished with them [16:04] sconklin, thanks. [16:05] skaet, as per the email thread on this, this is not the last hardy kernel [16:05] bjf, ok, will go back through my inbox carefully, catching up right now after a week off. [16:06] [TOPIC] Kernel SRU status - sconklin, bjf [16:06] New Topic: Kernel SRU status - sconklin, bjf [16:06] pretty much already been covered. everything is done for the last cycle [16:06] We're about to start another one. [16:07] The dates we're working toward are in the canonical kernel team calendar. When the master calender has dates, we'll work to them [16:08] sorry, ubuntu kernel calendar [16:09] .. [16:09] o/ [16:09] brendand, go ahead [16:10] does this commence the new 3 week cadence? [16:10] yes [16:10] and is the new bug process going to be used? [16:10] "new bug process" == what? [16:10] * JFo is curious [16:11] oh, you mean workflow tools [16:11] yes [16:11] sorry, maybe wrong words. i mean the new SRU workflow [16:11] yes. [16:11] and lastly, where is the ubuntu kernel calendar, for future reference? [16:12] looking for the url [16:12] i'll find it [16:13] sconklin, any concerns about 10.04.3 moving out a week? [16:14] skaet: first I heard about it. Is it in a calendar? probably not a problem but I didn't know we had a master schedule for the next cycle yet [16:15] sconklin, will be getting the master calendar up this week. Just wanted to check with SRU kernel team before putting it up. [16:15] and let others here following this have a chance to flag issues too ;) [16:15] I didn't know where it was scheduled originally even, so don;t know whether a week will make a difference [16:16] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule [16:16] but I doubt it will be a problem [16:16] brendand, skaet, external url for the ubuntu kernel calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/canonical.com/embed?src=50d02kfdekgcjdcpc970hh83f0@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles&gsessionid=cp7W8N-DOwo48j_37lbwjg [16:16] thanks bjf [16:16] any other questions for the Kernel team?

[16:18] welcome brendand :) [16:19] what is the outlook on the final testing of Karmic and Hardy kernels? [16:19] skaet - we aren't testing Karmic or Hardy [16:20] brendand, we're at a bit of an impass then. [16:20] o/ [16:20] final kernels have been published, and waiting for cert and qa to weigh in so we can announce EOL. [16:20] bjf go ahead [16:21] o/ [16:21] i think we need someone from the QA team, but I think they were going to test this week [16:21] brad first [16:21] o/ [16:21] :) [16:21] .. [16:21] two things. [16:21] jibel, hggdh, ^^ ?? [16:21] go ahead sconklin [16:21] First, slipping .3 a week actually lines up nicely with our schedule [16:22] second, this is not a final Lucid kernel. We need to stop writing that [16:22] sorry, Hardy [16:22] There is no final desktop kernel [16:23] we continue to produce kernels until server goes out of support [16:23] .. [16:23] sconklin, you had me worried about the lucid ;) noted about hardy- I'll be a bit more careful. [16:23] lucid's time will come ;-) [16:24] ara, go ahead [16:24] thanks [16:24] in the hw cert team we are never testing karmic or hardy. so you guys should only wait on QA for those two [16:25] .. [16:25] hmm... [16:26] I'm going to need to go do some homework then. [16:26] will follow up on email list if warranted. [16:26] anyone around from QA? [16:27] yes [16:27] skaet: ^ [16:27] :) [16:28] we will get it done [16:28] hggdh, cool. you ready to give a status today, or will jibel be doing it? [16:29] skaet: I am not prepared for it, I would rather have jibel doing it (if you do not mind) [16:29] no worries. [16:29] any other questions for brendand ?

[16:35] skaet: certainly [16:35] thanks! [16:35] #endmeeting [16:35] Meeting finished at 10:35.

I had a feeling it would happen today :) [18:04] I think kees and I need to still do some light review, but by and large the work items should be all set [18:05] I don't think there is a lot to spec out, beyond dbus/apparmor [18:05] [TOPIC] Weekly stand-up report [18:05] New Topic: Weekly stand-up report [18:05] I'll go first [18:05] I'm in the happy place this week (yea) [18:06] I have a dbus-glib update I am getting back into. some my testing for that will help me define the test cases for the dbus/apparmor bp, which I hope to start looking at again this week. depending on what pops up, it is at least theoretically possible for me to pick up another update [18:07] other than a few administrative things that don't I don't need to waste time here with, I think that is it from me [18:07] kees: you're up [18:07] okay, I'm on triage. I've at least got exim4 to do, and the hardy kernel announcement [18:08] after that, I'm trying to grind out all the graph data work items, since those should fall quickly if I can just get u-c-t to behave. [18:08] \o/ [18:08] I've got some oneiric kernel work to do too (nx-emu rebase) [18:08] * jdstrand hugs kees [18:08] :) [18:08] * kees hugs jdstrand [18:09] I'll probably have some MIR work sprinkled around too. we'll see. :) [18:09] that's it from me. mdeslaur is up. [18:09] mdeslaur: is on holiday today [18:09] s/:/ [18:09] s:// [18:09] hah [18:09] sbeattie: you're up. I can't get my regex right [18:09] dur [18:09] heh [18:10] * sbeattie waits for the regexs to finish. [18:10] s/:// [18:10] :P [18:10] I'm on community this week, after triaging last week. [18:10] I have an apr update in the pipe, though I'm now trying to track down why the lucid arm build failed in a testcase. [18:11] (hooray for the vagaries of chroot builds) [18:12] after that, I want to start poking at my apparmor work items for this cycle. [18:12] I also have some post uds administrivia to complete. [18:12] interesting. I would guess that if it was armel, it wouldn't be chroot specific, but I've not looked at it at all [18:12] (just armel that is) [18:13] * jdstrand also has post uds administrivia [18:13] jdstrand: the testcase that failed had to do with mutexs, so I'm suspecting that its a difference between kernels [18:13] ah [18:13] fun [18:14] yeah. and by yeah, I mean no. [18:14] I think that's it for me. [18:14] hehe [18:14] micahg: you're up! [18:14] so, I have that thunderbird regression with the empty menubar to publish today [18:15] mozilla has announced some of there plans for release schedules [18:15] 3.5 is EOL (doesn't afffect us, just seamonkey will need to go to 2.1.x) [18:15] 3.6 will have updates for the moment [18:15] 4's security update will be 5, so we'll have to upgrade natty on june 21 [18:16] are we still talking about TB? [18:16] nxvl: no, sorry, Firefox [18:16] i assumed :D [18:16] Thunderbird will stay on 3.1.x for the moment [18:16] natty will be our test migration case [18:17] I'll be drafting a page to track what we need to do before the upgrade [18:17] chrisccoulson has done some awesome work to make these transitions smoother WRT language updates [18:18] we'll review at the rally how the natty upgrade went and plan the other migrations (firefox for lucid/maverick and thunderbird in stable) [18:19] so, after drafting the initial plan, I want to try to get the pending webkit updates out [18:20] and I'm expecting a chromium update either this week or early next week [18:20] that's it for me [18:20] micahg: sounds great. thanks! [18:20] [TOPIC] Miscellaneous and Questions [18:20] New Topic: Miscellaneous and Questions [18:22] jjohansen: I'll probably be talking to you later in the week re libapparmor for dbus (all I need is the api call and it to return something based on the env, like we discussed) [18:22] other than that, I don't have anything to add [18:22] jdstrand: okay, sounds good [18:22] does anyone have any other questions or items to discuss? [18:23] going once... [18:24] going twice... [18:24] thanks everyone! :) [18:24] #endmeeting [18:24] Meeting finished at 12:24. [18:24] thanks jdstrand! [18:24] jdstrand: thanks!

[20:06] yes for once:) [20:06] On the kmos issue, I think it's a bit unfair to leave it there where people who are interested in the topic never know when it's going to come up. [20:07] I wish you all would pick a meeting when you're going to deal with it and get it over with. [20:07] We should take it to mail and bring it back when it's ready. [20:07] I agree [20:07] Apologies about the kmos situation. +1 for Laney and ScottK's suggestion. [20:07] [AGREED] Remove Review progress of probationary period of Marco Rodrigues from the agenda until there is planned discussion [20:07] AGREED received: Remove Review progress of probationary period of Marco Rodrigues from the agenda until there is planned discussion [20:07] jcrigby, Thanks for coming today. [20:09] glad to be here [20:10] jcrigby, Are you involved in Ubuntu in any way beyond the packages you mention? [20:10] not really no [20:10] hi [20:10] do we have quorum today? [20:10] yes [20:11] yes [20:11] jcrigby, What do you find most difficult about packaging best practices? [20:11] remembering the incantations [20:12] jcrigby: (after persia's question[s]) Can you briefly explain the major freezes in the Ubuntu development cycle and how they affect your packages? [20:12] Laney, I am obviously unprepared for that one [20:12] jcrigby: why do we have special linaro packages in addition to the normal package (e.g. u-boot and u-boot-linaro)? [20:12] Linaro is on its own schedule [20:13] oh, good to know [20:13] bdrung_, actually u-boot-linaro is the only u-boot now days [20:13] ubuntu uses u-boot-linaro [20:13] Are these packages not subject to the Ubuntu release schedule? [20:13] maco: we (Linaro) release ~month after Ubuntu [20:14] Laney, for this oneiric Linaro is releasing monthly [20:14] maco: but recently we switched most of teams to monthly releases [20:14] jcrigby: what does u-boot-linaro contain in comparison to upstream u-boot? [20:14] Laney, and for releases after ff we will release via a ppa to avoid sru issues [20:14] I believe the packages *should* be subject to the release schedule, as there are images that depend upon them shipped as part of the release. [20:15] jcrigby: was that ff = feature freeze or final freeze? [20:15] maco final [20:15] we can do ffe's for feature freeze [20:16] jcrigby, What considerations do you make when requesting an FFe? [20:16] at that point I only allow bug fixes that are must haves for the release [20:17] no new "nice" features [20:17] Do you maintain separate for-ubuntu and linaro-next trees for this? [20:17] * cody-somerville has to jet; will write e-mail to DMB when I get back. [20:17] see you [20:17] persia, I keep -next git trees but those do not have packaging bits in them [20:18] persia, they are for board enablement folks [20:18] That makes sense. [20:19] on the kernel side I actually do keep a work in progress (wip) tree that does have the packaging in it [20:19] that is for people that are willing to build there own packaged kernel [20:19] and I have tried to help people that want to do that but lack the knowledge [20:20] I have also helped the linaro landing teams with their packagig [20:20] since they are usually enablement people not packaging people [20:21] Anyone else with more questions? [20:21] nope [20:21] nope [20:21] nope [20:22] nope [20:22] nope [20:22] [VOTE] Approve John Rigby (jcrigby) for PerPackage Upload rights to u-boot-linaro and linux-linaro-* [20:22] Please vote on: Approve John Rigby (jcrigby) for PerPackage Upload rights to u-boot-linaro and linux-linaro-*.

[20:31] bjf, Thanks for coming today [20:31] np [20:32] Isn't there a kernel package set? [20:32] there's [20:32] You ask for upload rights to the linux-* packages. Do you want that, or did you mean to apply to be part of the kernel uploaders team? [20:32] i think this was clarified on email as "kernel package set" [20:33] I thought so, just wanted to be clear.

I've been an Ubuntu contributor since joining Canonical two years ago. I am a member of the Kernel Team. [20:33] I've been a linux developer/user for many years. [20:33] "I was just trying to be clear what I was asking for, if there is a kernel package set then that is what I'm going for." <-- what brad said when Laney asked [20:34] I am currently working on the stable kernel maintenance. I've been doing stable kernel maintenance for two dev cycles and am schedule to continue doing same for another two cycles. [20:34] I'm applying for upload rights for the linux kernel packages. [20:34] I'm proud of the stable work that I've done, we've made some significant changes to the [20:34] stable maintenance process. [20:34] ~ [20:34] i'm good at cut/paste if that is a requirement :-) [20:34] fwiw I've been signing Brad's packages (sponsoring his uploads) for six months, and he's fully capable [20:35] Can you explain how a stable kernel update is typically QAd? [20:36] Also, does the kernel team work with Debian's at all? ;-) [20:36] laney, it's a multi-step process, are you familiar with the kernel cadence that we've gone to? [20:36] somewhat [20:36] * bdrung_ isn't. [20:36] Please share [20:36] laney, yes, we discuss things regularly with the debian kernel folks [20:36] persia, will do :-) [20:37] (especially as ogasawara credits you with bringing order to it) [20:37] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/StableReleaseCadence [20:37] currently, we are moving to a three week cadence [20:37] excuse me pasting links [20:37] week 1, we prepare kernels and upload packages (upload to the kernel team ppa) [20:38] week 2, we require verification of LP bugs that have been fixed via the uploaded kernel [20:38] any bugs that fail verification or are not verified, the corresponding commits are reverted and new packages are uploaded [20:38] week 3, the QA and Certification teams take over, and run their tests. [20:39] when does the upload to -proposed happen? what kind of interaction is there with the Ubuntu SRU team? [20:39] bjf: ever had any problems where the reverts after week 2 caused regressions, maybe due to side-effects/interactions between patches & disappearing patches? [20:39] the QA tests are composed of: qbench, tbench tiobench, security tests (crafted by the security team) and some ltp lite tests [20:40] (and regular SRU verification) [20:40] laney, generally we just ping them to pocket-copy, we are changing this as well to use an LP bug for workflow, maybe sconklin can post a url for that as well :-) [20:41] looking [20:41] bjf, pocket-copy to where? [20:41] maco, yes, same proceedure, we revert the commit, roll a new package and upload [20:41] persia, from our ppa to -proposed [20:41] maco, once the new package has been uploaded, qa and cert testing starts again [20:42] maco, this could go on for some time, however, it hasn't in the last two dev cycles [20:42] * Laney is done with questions [20:42] laney, maco, bdrung_ persia the purpose of moving to this cadence is predictability [20:43] bjf: thanks, thats the bit i was unsure about :) [20:43] it was very difficult in the past to be able to give some indication of when a patch was going to get out [20:43] * sconklin is unable to get launchpad qastaging to do anything other than time out [20:43] that's where our example bug is [20:43] as it is now, worst case (baring reversions) is 6 weeks from when a patch is accepted until it hits -updates [20:44] bjf: some packagers feel that it's hard to get their changes into the kernel due to all the rules. are there plans to change that? [20:44] bdrung_, no changes to the rules, we are actually quite flexible (our opinion) and will discuss changes with anyone [20:45] bdrung_, however, stability is crucial [20:45] here's one that doesn't have the team assignments made, but you can see how we track workflow tasks https://bugs.qastaging.launchpad.net/kernel-sru-workflow/verification-testing/+bug/718866 [20:45] Ubuntu bug 718866 in unity-2d "[panel] Indicator list is hardcoded" [Medium,Fix released] [20:45] sconklin, thanks [20:45] bjf: In your application, you seem to have skipped one of my favourite bits: What single thing in Ubuntu do you think should most be improved? [20:46] bjf: i was thinking about changes for the development version (currently oneiric). [20:46] persia, thinking about it [20:47] bdrung_, well, we certainly prefer that we get any changes from upstream or that the changes we take are heading upstream, we are not a test kernel for everyone's crack [20:47] bdrung_, the larger the community, the more conservative we need to be [20:48] bjf: i can remember that i once want to push a fix from lirc into the kernel. it took me ages to do that. [20:48] bdrung_, we are already put out the most recent upstream kernel of any distro (i mean we track the upstream kernel the closest) [20:48] bdrung_, were your changes going upstream? [20:49] bjf: it was a backported upstream patch [20:49] bdrung_, ok, i don't know the specifics, but that usually fits within our rules, it can depend on the complexity of the backport though [20:50] i found it: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/0.8.6-0ubuntu4.1 [20:50] bdrung_, our rules are not much difference than those of upstream stable maint. [20:50] the process for the kernel felt very bureaucratic [20:51] bdrung_, it can be, but again, stability and no-regressions are what we are striving for [20:52] This is team policy and not Brad's. If upstream won't take it, it's very unlikely we will. [20:52] persia, i still don't really know how to answer your question, there are specific parts of the distro that i'd like to see changed/influenced (like the switch to unity) [20:53] persia: that's the part i always want to skip too [20:53] persia, i also think UDS could be better in certain ways [20:54] bjf, Well, I'd encourage you to think about it. We know we aren't perfect, but unless we can identify what is wrong, it's hard to improve. [20:54] persia, remember, i'm kind of an old fart, i like my desktop the way that it was, this new fangled stuff takes some getting used to :-) [20:54] On a related note, what do you feel is your weakest skill in developing for Ubuntu? [20:54] and i'm resisting [20:55] my first thoughts would be in interaction with the community, but i've been told that i'm not as bad as i think [20:55] bjf, sconklin: ok [20:56] to me, this is mostly a job and not my life [20:57] bjf: re unity - all the gnome-panel lovers could unity and maintain gnome-panel. then a user can decide between unity, gnome3, and ubuntu classic (gnome-panel) [20:58] bdrung_, agreed [20:58] geser, stgraber, any questions? [20:58] nope [20:59] nope [20:59] [VOTE] Approve Brad Figg (bjf) as an Ubuntu Kernel Uploader [20:59] Please vote on: Approve Brad Figg (bjf) as an Ubuntu Kernel Uploader.

[21:01] We need one more to stay quorate. [21:01] guess i can stick around a bit longer [21:01] I've got to be on the water in 30 minutes, I'm afraid [21:01] * hrw -> out for now [21:02] No worries.

[21:05] shoot, I had to run home to meet the cable guy, did I miss it again? [21:05] psusi, You did, but we extended, so you're next. [21:06] whew... [21:06] Any DMB members have comments on the Bazaar Package set they want in minutes? [21:07] psusi: one question to think about: What do you like least in Ubuntu?

[21:07] persia: a Bazaar package set sounds plausable [21:07] Sorry. I was too fast. [21:08] [TOPIC] Review of Bazaar Package Set [21:08] New Topic: Review of Bazaar Package Set [21:08] geser, I don't think so, really. [21:08] bdrung_, Do you suggest we should just do it, as we have two PPUs who have the same set? [21:08] IIRC the DMB was the one asking for the set when reviewing jelmer's application. List looks good to me (quite similar to an "apt-cache search bzr" and matches rights we've already given to these applying for bzr upload rights) [21:08] persia: i'm in favour of it [21:09] +1 [21:09] OK. [21:09] they are quite likely to ask for the same packages to be added to their respective PPU lists, so it's best to create a package set for it [21:09] +1 for a bzr package set based on the bzr ppu right from jelmer and poolie [21:09] [VOTE] Create a Bazaar Package Set and migrate poolie and jelmer to membership in an associated group.

[21:11] yep [21:12] persia: can you please add the bzr packages to the minutes? to have them documented somewhere easy to find again later [21:12] geser, The list? Sure. [21:12] Well, maybe not. We'll come back.

[21:13] yes [21:13] psusi, Glad you could make it (even a bit late). [21:13] yeah! ;) [21:13] oh hello [21:14] woohoo, finally ;) [21:14] psusi, So, now that you've had some time to think, what do you like least in Ubuntu? [21:14] I've not really been able to come up with an answer to that really... I dislike bugs [21:15] Do you think we could do a better job to squash bugs somehow? [21:15] other than more manpower? [21:16] psusi: how to get more manpower into this area and how to use the manpower more efficiently [21:16] ? [21:16] If you think that's the solution, I'll ask how you think we can attract the necessary resources :) [21:16] (if you have another solution, please share) [21:17] psusi: picking up the question from your application page: did you think about maintaining e2defrag in Debian? [21:17] I think the system is pretty efficient [21:18] especially these days with UDS [21:18] psusi: are you happy about the sponsoring? [21:18] err, UDD [21:18] yea... UDD sponsorship has become very smooth lately, especially with the patch pilot program [21:18] great to hear that [21:18] any parts of the bug triage/squash process that you think are particularly in need of change? [21:19] I'm not a debian user so that would make becoming a DD a bit tricky I think [21:19] psusi: i'm not either, but i'm going through the DM process *duck* [21:19] psusi: you don't have to be a debian user. you don't even need to be a DD for maintaining a package in debian. [21:20] (DM is like PPU) [21:20] I may end up doing that eventually, but I figured I'd start with motu [21:20] psusi: it's easier to start with DM if you really care about a specific package (especially if it's new) [21:22] Anyone with further questions for psusi? [21:22] no [21:22] actually I guess one thing that bothers me is bugs that sit around for years and grow stale and ignored [21:23] persia: I'm ready to vote [21:24] [VOTE] Approve Phillip Susi (psusi) as a Contributing Developer [21:24] Please vote on: Approve Phillip Susi (psusi) as a Contributing Developer.

[21:25] how many more do we have ? [21:25] bdrung_, Yeah. I remember psusi being around when I was still lurking. [21:26] stgraber, 2 noshows and 2 outstanding. [21:26] /me ?

[21:28] no problem [21:28] I got universe contributor last time [21:28] I maintain cross toolchain for armel and armhf architectures [21:29] hi hrw [21:29] armel is present in Debian and Ubuntu, armhf is on a way to Debian and also may be added into Ubuntu. At Linaro we want armhf to e present in both distributions [21:29] I've seen a few complaints about our documentation in the past few days. Anyone up for trying to dredge through it and submit a new draft? [21:30] what "flavour" of ARM is armhf? [21:30] OK. I'll table that for later. [21:30] geser: armv7, hardfloat [21:31] geser: no neon by default due to tegra2 [21:31] How runtime Neon detection working for Qt currently? [21:32] ScottK: have to admit that I lost track on this - spent most time in toolchain [21:32] OK. [21:33] hrw: the packages you request upload rights for doesn't seem to exist [21:34] bdrung_: armhf ones are same as armel ones - did not get yet uploaded [21:34] bdrung_: the only difference is s/armel/armhf/ in changelog and regenerataion of control file [21:34] * persia recommended this list to hrw in OOB discussions, as the other packages were expected to be uploaded fairly soon, and our board isn't so fast. [21:34] hrw: i fail to find the armel ones, e.g. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.6-armel-cross [21:35] bdrung_: 4.6 was not in natty - I have version working with sid and oneiric [21:35] bdrung_: let me give git url [21:36] hrw: are the *-armel-* and *-armhf-* different source packages? [21:36] * ScottK would like to recommend hrw for his photography skills as he took the Kubuntu group photo at UDS. ;-) [21:36] http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/hrw/cross-toolchain-packaging.git;a=summary is linaro tree [21:36] LINK received: http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/hrw/cross-toolchain-packaging.git;a=summary is linaro tree [21:36] geser: yes, they are separate but share 100% [21:37] hrw: isn't it possible to build both from the same source package or is there any reason for the duplication? [21:37] geser: I am in a middle of creating one source for armel/armhf of each component and merging gcc-4.[456]-*-cros into one source or source package [21:37] geser: during uds-n we decided to have cross toolchain source per arch [21:38] geser: as Debian ones would do 11 arch builds and what if 9th fail after 30h of building? [21:38] ouch [21:38] build time is a strong argument for separate packages [21:39] in Ubuntu we handle 1 arch now (m,n) and now will have 2 (oneiric) [21:39] Debian can have more of them. [21:39] hrw: Debian has 11 arm flavours? [21:39] hrw: you are talking a lot about debian. will you try to upload the packages into debian first? [21:40] geser: no, but emdebian team wants to replace their semi-auto built packages with mine [21:40] bdrung_: once will get all patches landed in Debian yes [21:40] bdrung_: merging all required changes into ubuntu took me half of maverick cycle [21:41] bdrung_: my source packages works no changes under debian and ubuntu [21:41] I have check on 'lsb_release -d' to take care of details [21:42] also handle linaro toolchain backport ppa with same sources but thats a bit other story [21:42] hrw: do you know dpkg-vendor? [21:42] bdrung_: no, but will check it [21:42] bdrung_: trick with lsb_release I took from gcc packaging [21:43] during maverick I did cleanup of gcc/binutils packaging which ended in few thousand of lines dropped [21:43] it's the preferred way to check the vendor (instead of lsb_release). advantage: no additional build dependency [21:44] bdrung_: ok, gcc packaging has to work under dapper so maybe thats why [21:44] hrw: yes, dpkg-vendor isn't that old [21:45] * micahg thought dpkg-dev was needed for dpkg-vendor [21:45] yep. 2009 according to manpage [21:45] micahg: I already bdepend on dpkg-dev [21:45] micahg: and you are right - dpkg-vendor is dpkg-dev [21:46] micahg: build-essential depends on dpkg-dev [21:46] so you get it for free (on compile time) [21:47] a versioned dependancy on it may be needed [21:47] dpkg-dev (>= 1.15.3.1) is what I need already [21:47] due to components needs (binutils, linux, gcc, eglibc) [21:47] So, while it's interesting to discuss ways of aligning packages between distributions, are there more questions to prepare to vote on hrw's application? [21:48] ;) [21:48] bdrung_: ah, that's what it was, a higher versioned build-dep was necessary :() [21:48] dpkg-vendor is 1.15.1 [21:49] and I already need 1.15.3.1 so yes - good thing to switch to [21:49] * bdrung_ is ready to vote [21:49] * geser too [21:50] * stgraber too [21:50] [VOTE] Approve Marcin Juszkiewicz for PPU upload of armel-cross-toolchain-base gcc-4.4-armel-cross gcc-4.5-armel-cross gcc-defaults-armel-cross and recommend addition of armhf and 4.6 packages as they become available [21:50] Please vote on: Approve Marcin Juszkiewicz for PPU upload of armel-cross-toolchain-base gcc-4.4-armel-cross gcc-4.5-armel-cross gcc-defaults-armel-cross and recommend addition of armhf and 4.6 packages as they become available.
