ScottKLaney: Nice.  Only 80.  Not so bad.00:09
freeflyingpersia: ping00:29
ajmitchScottK: what's the recommended change for the boost transition? switch from 1.42 to 1.46 in build-depends, or unversioned?00:32
=== med_out is now known as medberry
brodercan we safely just swap out 1.42 for 1.46? didn't the interface for boost::filesystem change ~completely between those two versions?00:42
* micahg is curious as well since he has a FTBFS to fix00:44
ajmitchhttp://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/index.htm implies that the earlier API can still be used for now00:44
broderajmitch: right, but 1.46 defaults to the new API01:20
broderi guess all the changes should break the build01:26
ajmitchbroder: yep, default changes, but it looks to be possible to just use the single define to change it, rather than having to port to the new API to get things to build01:31
broderah, i see. yeah, that's true01:31
broderthough honestly i don't think adjusting for the API changes should be difficult, especially for linux-specific apps that wouldn't use std::wstring01:32

dholbachgood morning07:25
=== Tobu_ is now known as Tobu
micahgLaney: when you get a chance, could you please set up a transition for libnotify1 -> libnotify4, bad is depends on libnotify1 or b-d on libnotify4-dev, thanks :)07:58
nigelbdholbach: I might want to link someone to a particular set of harvest filters.  Is that possible currently?08:11
dholbachnigelb, it is, you need to fiddle with the url a little bit - just have a look at the url the filter links send you to08:29
dholbachnigelb, there's a couple of bugs filed about making that easier and more consistent08:29
dholbachdylan mccall is the best person to answer the questions08:29
nigelbdholbach: okay :)08:30
=== _ruben_ is now known as _ruben
Laneymicahg: it'd be easier if you can propose a merge or give me the .ben file — otherwise I might be able to look in 10 hours time or so09:30
LaneyI wonder why the desktop team aren't caring about this transition09:31
nigelbOk, so http://harvest.ubuntu.com/ now has all the build failures from oneiric ftbfs page11:37
blackmoon-105in a package build, for include modifications, is better use a "debian/patch" folder or a *.diff.gz file?12:03
blackmoon-105no one?12:14
sorendebian/patches12:16
blackmoon-105soren: ok thanks12:21
blackmoon-105soren: but *.diff.gz is deprecated?12:21
sorenblackmoon-105: .diff.gz is the format used for uploading to the archive. It's probably not something you should be dealing with directly.12:28
LaneyIt's not 'deprecated', but it's generally considered cleaner (if a matter of personal taste and workflow) to use a patch system such as quilt to manage changes to the upstream source.12:30
Laney(fwiw, those patches will still end up in the .diff.gz if there is one, but they will be easier to read)12:30
blackmoon-105soren: so if i must add extra headers in the source code, i must use "debian/patch", right?12:31
blackmoon-105Laney: ^12:32
Laneyit's not 'must', but 'would be a good idea to'12:33
blackmoon-105Laney: ok, thank you :)12:37
jtayloranyone have a oneiric powerpc available? what does: python -c "import Tkinter; print Tkinter.__version__" output?14:26

=== hannesw_ is now known as hannesw
=== bdrung_ is now known as bdrung
micahgLaney: ok, will try to propose a merge, idk, maybe they haven't noticed yet, thanks16:14
tumbleweedjtaylor: $Revision$17:04
jtaylortumbleweed: k thx there seems to something wrong with it on powerpc then17:05
tumbleweed(powerpc sort-of works with qemu-user)17:05
jtaylor(matplotlib fails to build because of this)17:05
jtaylortumbleweed: what does python2.6 say?17:09
tumbleweedjtaylor: $Revision: 73770 $17:12
jtayloris probably related to the -rc1 of python 2.717:12
jtaylorth17:12
tumbleweedshould I try a rebuild?17:12
jtaylorno I get the same "wrong" output on amd64 now17:13
tumbleweedok17:13
jtaylorthe amd64 matplotlib build was done before -rc1 went into oneric17:13
jtaylorpowerpc build was delayed a few days17:13
jtaylorwill probably be fixed when 2.7.2 is final, then it should be rebuilt17:15
tumbleweedjtaylor: you sure? it looks like an svn substitution, and python moved to hg17:29
jtaylorit did?17:30
jtaylorso its a upstream bug17:30
tumbleweedbarry: ^17:30
jtaylorbut matplotlib should probably not use the subsitution anyway17:31
tumbleweedmatplotlib should probably not care about that version so much, unless there is good need. But providing a useful __version__ isn't exactly a bad idea17:32
blackmoon-105how can i add an extra directory (with files) using quilt? I've tried but i've got thiseoor:  " cp: omitting directory `headers-extra/' "17:51
jtaylorblackmoon-105:  are you using cp -r ?17:56
jtaylorah no I see the problem17:57
blackmoon-105jtaylor: yes because i can't pass -r parameter to cp throught quilty17:57
=== didrocks1 is now known as didrocks
jtaylorquilt add dir/*17:58
blackmoon-105jtaylor: great it works! thank you18:03
micahgblackmoon-105: why would add a whole directory as a patch?18:10
blackmoon-105micahg: because i need to include extra headers which are all in a directory18:11

psusiis there a better way for multiple forked children to use a mutex than sysV semaphores?21:23
paultagpsusi: you should be able to use a mutex accross many threads21:49
paultagpsusi: why were you thinking semaphores?21:49
paultagis there something in the critical section that needs that?21:49
paultagI can't imagine21:50
jtaylorhes talking about forks not threads21:50
paultagjtaylor: sorry, misread21:50
paultagcarry on21:50
jtaylorunfortunatly I have no answer :/21:51
psusiaye... have a process that forks a few children and need to serialize a critical section21:51
paultagIMHO forks suck for this21:52
paultagbut that's just me21:52
paultagthe whole not-sharing-memory thing can be a female dog21:52
psusithere we go... mmap() + sem_init()22:10
psusiMAP_SHARED22:10
nhandlercody-somerville: I'm using Balsamiq (link in my blog post). Jono recommended it to me (he used it for his LoCo Portal mockup). You also (depending on what you want to use it for) might qualify for a free key for it23:08
