| micahg | TheMuso: sure enough fails in sbuild since the default resolver can't handle the alternate build-dep | 00:01 |
| TheMuso | Right. | 00:01 |
| * TheMuso only uses sbuild so would have probably caught that sooner or later anyway. | 00:02 | |
| TheMuso | dennis_: You are probably best asking in #ubuntu-app-devel if its for an app you are writing on Ubuntu. Otherwise I am pretty sure there are channels dedicated to c/c++ on freenode where you could ask your question. | 00:03 |
| micahg | TheMuso: so, in theory it should work in LP, but I should probably verify that (the last upload had the change, but that was before xulrunner dropped to universe) | 00:04 |
| TheMuso | micahg: Ok, well I am running it in sbuild now and it is currently building. | 00:05 |
| TheMuso | 8/c | 00:05 |
| TheMuso | I'll try installing in a oneiric chroot and see what happens. | 00:05 |
| micahg | TheMuso: orly? did you limit the component to main only? | 00:06 |
| TheMuso | micahg: No. | 00:06 |
| micahg | TheMuso: then it's not a good test | 00:06 |
| TheMuso | Probably shoudl have. | 00:06 |
| TheMuso | yup just realised that. | 00:06 |
| TheMuso | micahg: Yeah ok it does fail. | 00:09 |

| TheMuso | micahg: So it seems this is a merge after all. | 00:10 |
| micahg | TheMuso: idk, in theory it should work in LP, I'll ask wgrant a bit later | 00:10 |

| micahg | ah, will xulrunner-dev | firefox-dev DTRT in oneiric main (only firefox-dev in main) | 00:11 |
| wgrant | RAOF: I thought I was, but now I'm not so sure. | 00:12 |
| wgrant | RAOF: Since I'm using xorg-edgers, so I should have had the patch for a month. | 00:12 |
| wgrant | RAOF: But when I rebooted yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks, my cursor started going strange in the bottom right corner of the screen. | 00:12 |
| wgrant | Doesn't seem to be hardware. | 00:12 |
| RAOF | And you're still using edgers? | 00:13 |
| wgrant | Yes. | 00:14 |
| wgrant | There it goes again. | 00:14 |
| RAOF | Hm, that makes you a less than perfect test subject. | 00:14 |
| * TheMuso moves onto something else for the moment. | 00:14 | |
| wgrant | Indeed. | 00:14 |
| wgrant | So I just subscribed to see how it progressed. | 00:14 |
| wgrant | It may be entirely unrelated. | 00:14 |
| RAOF | Would you like to try an X server without that patch, for science? | 00:16 |
| micahg | wgrant: did you see my question above about the alternate build-deps? | 00:18 |
| wgrant | micahg: I did, but got distracted, sorry (on a call). | 00:19 |
| wgrant | micahg: That should work OK. | 00:19 |
| wgrant | micahg: I think. | 00:20 |
| wgrant | micahg: What doesn't work well is when the first is versioned, and the package is there but the version is wrong. | 00:20 |
| TheMuso | wgrant: Failed in a local sbuild with main/restricted enabled only. | 00:20 |
| micahg | wgrant: oh, sorry, right I have an open bug for the versioned build-deps | 00:20 |
| micahg | TheMuso: are you on natty? | 00:21 |
| TheMuso | micahg: Yes, but I was building in a oneiric chroot. | 00:21 |
| wgrant | TheMuso: Huh. | 00:21 |
| micahg | TheMuso: right, I think sbuild in oneiric might fix it | 00:21 |
| wgrant | TheMuso: Which resolver is sbuild using? | 00:21 |
| TheMuso | The default. | 00:21 |
| TheMuso | wgrant: ^^ | 00:23 |
| micahg | which is internal on natty | 00:23 |
| wgrant | Ah. | 00:23 |
| wgrant | Possibly not, then. | 00:23 |
| micahg | the version in oneiric now uses the apt resolver which I think will work | 00:24 |
| TheMuso | Yes but what are the buildds using? | 00:24 |
| micahg | wgrant: is there any way to test what LP will do aside from an archive upload? | 00:29 |
| wgrant | micahg: You could configure a PPA to use components, and try there. But otherwise not really. | 00:30 |
| micahg | wgrant: k, thanks | 00:30 |
| micahg | we'll find out soon | 00:34 |

| maco | slangasek: i know they do, but i also thought since it was for avoiding collisions and i didnt see a reference to that version in rmadison, it didnt really matter in this case. didnt think about previous versions | 00:46 |
| TheMuso | micahg: Is https://code.launchpad.net/~dev-nigelj/ubuntu/oneiric/zabbix/721707-v2/+merge/61855 on your radar, or should I go ahead and look at it? | 00:49 |
| micahg | TheMuso: it's on my radar, but if you're out of things to do, feel free to do it | 00:50 |

| wgrant | RAOF: I guess I should run with natty-updates' xserver-xorg-core for a couple of hours first, since it's not easily reproducible. | 01:52 |
| RAOF | That would be better, yes. | 01:53 |
| broder | TheMuso: you saw that there are two branches you'll need to grab for the mediatomb merge, right? | 02:10 |
| TheMuso | broder: Yes, got them both. | 02:10 |
| broder | (and thanks for dealing with it - I just hadn't found the time to pull everything together yet) | 02:10 |
| TheMuso | broder: Actually used your branch as a base. | 02:10 |
| broder | ah, cool | 02:11 |
| TheMuso | broder: Np, kind of a pain that it was accross 2 branches, for packaging it makes more work IMO. | 02:11 |
| TheMuso | Code, I can accept, multiple branches for different fixes, but packaging... Well Not decided yet, but it certainly took more time to unravel everything. | 02:11 |
| micahg | that package actually needs a merge as well, I've been meaning to do it | 02:11 |
| micahg | but if the patches work, that's fine, run with it | 02:13 |
| TheMuso | I wasn't even aware that it needed a merge. | 02:14 |
| micahg | I missed it last cycle | 02:15 |
| micahg | it needs porting to mozjs185 which is why I've been pushing it off, it should work though with xulrunner-1.9.2 while it's still in the archive | 02:16 |
| TheMuso | ah. | 02:18 |
| TheMuso | I don't envy you guys working on browser stuff. My head aches enough from having to tackle audio. | 02:18 |
| micahg | TheMuso: I'd rather tackle browsers than audio ;) | 02:18 |
| TheMuso | heh | 02:22 |
| TheMuso | The biggest headache is the tons of hardware, and manufacturers liking to cut corners/not do things right in their BIOS/allow bugs to creap into their chipsets. | 02:22 |

| smartass | Will the mouse move to the 2nd screen if I send coordinates for example 35000 to the OS? | 04:18 |
| RAOF | You're after X protocol documentation here. | 04:19 |
| RAOF | And the answer is ‘it depends’ :) | 04:19 |
| smartass | I tried to find something useful but without much success | 04:20 |
| RAOF | Well, it depends on what you're actually trying to do. I'm off for lunch now, and this isn't really the place for X protocol discussions. #ubuntu-app-devel might be better, or #xorg-devel. ‘apropos pointer’ will give you a reference to “XWarpPointer (3) - move pointer”, which is the documentation you probably want to start with. | 04:24 |
| TheMuso | poolie: Not yet, what project should I file it against? | 04:28 |
| TheMuso | Sorry, was away for a shortish break. | 04:29 |
| smartass | What I need to know is how the coordinates are managed when multiple monitors are setup. My utility needs to manage multiple touchscreens so that if you touch touchscreen1 the touch should be displayed on the monitor being setup. Thanks anyway, I'll give the other rooms a shot and I need to do this for mac as well. | 04:30 |

| StevenK | slangasek: They get included and then process-accepted blows up | 06:18 |
| slangasek | which source package is including them? | 06:19 |
| StevenK | gcc-4.6-armel-cross | 06:19 |
| StevenK | I rejected the two binaries from accepted so process-accepted would start working again. | 06:19 |
| slangasek | ah - if this hadn't been a NEW package, wouldn't they have been rejected straightaway? That's what I recall seeing before | 06:20 |
| StevenK | slangasek: But they weren't in the NEW queue, they were in the ACCEPTED queue | 06:21 |
| slangasek | yes, because I accepted them out of NEW, not noticing the .ddeb issue... :) | 06:21 |
| StevenK | Ah ha | 06:21 |
| slangasek | StevenK: while you're here... do you know why ggz-client-libs in Ubuntu has a patch from you from 2008 that's never been forwarded to Debian? :) | 06:28 |
| StevenK | You know, 2008 was a long time ago ... :-) | 06:28 |
| * slangasek can't figure out what the patch is for, and it's the only delta | 06:28 | |
| StevenK | slangasek: However, ggz-client-libs hasn't been touched in Debian since at least then anyway :-) | 06:32 |
| slangasek | yes, it's been NMUed | 06:32 |
| StevenK | I think it fixes an install failure, but the patch is obtuse. | 06:32 |
| StevenK | Oh! I think it's a build failure, since it wanted to write to /? | 06:34 |
| slangasek | hmm, but the NMU built fine in Debian without this patch | 06:35 |

| dholbach | can somebody review my ubuntu-packaging-guide mp? http://pad.lv/mps/ubuntu-packaging-guide | 10:20 |
| Laney | noooooooooooooo I hate that division | 10:24 |
| dholbach | Laney, can you elaborate? | 10:39 |
| dholbach | if you have a better idea how to make scanning the list of topics easier, I'm all ears | 10:39 |
| Laney | all of that stuff should be integrated into the main document(s) IMHO | 10:40 |
| Laney | rather than having a big division: "traditional" and "UDD" | 10:40 |
| dholbach | there's no "traditional" in there | 10:40 |
| dholbach | the task-based articles on the front page all contain UDD bits that are relevant to them | 10:41 |
| dholbach | the articles in the knowledge base dive deeper into the topics | 10:41 |
| dholbach | I think there's value in short task-based articles that give new contributors a result, even if they don't work in 100% of the cases or might need some other tool that they can find out about in the knowledge base | 10:42 |
| dholbach | Laney, would you agree that the list of knowledge base articles is a bit hard to read and it might get worse over time and that we should start categorising things? | 10:44 |
| dholbach | I personally could imagine that renaming "UDD" on that page to "Development Tools" (or some such) could do a bit to avoid confusion about "UDD vs. traditional techniques" | 10:45 |
| Laney | ah I thought there was 'traditional' in there — my bad (and yes, I like the task based approach) | 10:46 |
| Laney | I think that UDD should be renamed indeed, because it reinforces (or at least opens the door to) the division | 10:46 |
| Laney | Development Processes or something | 10:46 |
| Laney | but it /is/ interesting that we'll not be training people in how to use the traditional tools | 10:47 |
| Laney | how do they give back to Debian then? :-) | 10:47 |
| dholbach | there's an article in progress about working with Debian and other upstreams | 10:47 |
| dholbach | I think mok0 is working on it | 10:47 |
| dholbach | Development Processes might work | 10:48 |
| dholbach | I'll update the mp | 10:48 |
| dholbach | we can still change it to something cleverer later on | 10:48 |
| Laney | 'tis probably more than one article but I guess we could give a short intro 'how to build your package for Debian' or something and then link to the Debian packaging guide | 10:49 |
| Laney | and apologies for my confusion | 10:49 |
| dholbach | don't worry - I assume a lack of caffeine ;-) | 10:50 |

| ScottK | dholbach: I don't see the mp anymore, so I can't comment on the specifics, but based on the discussion here, I am concerned. I don't think the UDD based toolset is mature enough yet to be 'the way we do things'. If that's all that's covered in the new packaging guide, it shouldn't be called a packaging guide and it doesn't cover the normal tools for doing so. | 13:37 |

| hyperair | ScottK: alright, thanks for the information. | 14:54 |
| ScottK | dholbach: I think it needs to be clarified what it is before it moves anywhere more official. (just mailed ubuntu-devel and the udd list to discuss) | 14:56 |
| showard | ScottK: thanks for clarifying | 14:58 |
| ScottK | showard: It turns out most ubuntu-sru memebers are also archive admins, so the distinction is a subtle one. | 14:59 |
| Laney | It's difficult. Having both workflows would probably be confusing. Having traditional-only would require a rewrite when we decide to advocate UDD (which is supposed to be The Future), and having UDD only means you promote an immature toolset. | 14:59 |
| ScottK | Laney: I think renaming it is the best plan. | 15:02 |
| ScottK | Laney: But you need to cover traditional stuff anyway or you're stuck as soon as you hit an out of date branch. | 15:02 |
| Laney | part of the idea was to replace the out of date wiki mess though | 15:25 |
| ScottK | Right. I think better docs for UDD is a good and important thing, but to represent it as the Ubuntu way is getting ahead of things. | 15:42 |

| barry | apw: http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/udd-patchsys.html | 16:24 |
| broder | apw: as long as you're not trying to merge, i think the answer is mostly "do a quilt push -a before you commit and bzr add all of the .pc poop" | 16:25 |
| apw | broder, i am trying to merge | 16:26 |
| * apw whines about the importer pulling in .pc, stupid | 16:27 | |
| broder | i feel like i've heard cjwatson mention a flow where he quilt pops, then merges the unpatched trees, but i forget how he said he did that... | 16:27 |
| * mdeslaur learns about bzr loom for the first time | 16:27 | |
| barry | one key thing i've learned is that you basically want to bzr revert any changes in the .pc directory before you commit. | 16:28 |
| mdeslaur | barry: whaaa? but...won't that break when you try and unapply quilt patches that haven't applied cleanly? | 16:28 |
| === davidm_ is now known as davidm | ||
| barry | mdeslaur: i haven't seen that, but i have seen conflicts in the .pc directory after a merge, and it's pretty much worked for me to just revert those and carry on | 16:30 |
| barry | mdeslaur: but of course, when you're talking udd+quilt, ymmv ;) | 16:30 |

| barry | ScottK: i thought the same thing too, but jelmer (i think) had some good arguments as to why that's not the right thing to do. i think the intent there is that people should be able to just branch and hack. | 16:33 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||

| barry | ScottK: not without pain today, true | 16:34 |
| apw | will the ubuntu archive grok it ? | 16:34 |
| arand | apw: That I do not know.. | 16:34 |
| barry | for me, the benefits of bzr/dvcs outweigh that pain, but not for everybody. maco for example doesn't use udd for quilt packages. certainly that's a reasonable strategy. | 16:35 |
| maco | barry: i made a script the other day to fetch a source package for a given release, check if its using cdbs for patchsys, and then apply the patch, dch -i, *the only piece of user interaction happens here*, debuild -S, and create a debdiff. that wiki page you linked is way more head-hurty than the script i handed akk to make a debdiff out of a patch she was submitting | 16:36 |
| maco | and once that script has a --help and some error checking, i'll push it toward u-d-t | 16:36 |
| maco | (its aimed at non-upload-rights people needing to make a debdiff to hand to a sponsor) | 16:37 |
| barry | maco: yep, no disagreement there | 16:37 |
| smoser | barry, stupid question... | 16:39 |
| smoser | how do i get the python upstream 2.7 branch in hg? | 16:39 |

| barry | smoser: i'm not sure what the url is for non-core committers. let me see if i can find it | 16:40 |
| broder | maco: that sounds a lot like edit-patch. have you looked at that? | 16:40 |
| smoser | yeah, yeah, yeah, barry, you're a core committer, the rest of us are slime... :) | 16:40 |

| maco | broder: nope. didnt know it existed. it's not listed in apt-cache show ubuntu-dev-tools | 16:42 |

| broder | maco: but edit-patch/add-patch have been around for a while. if they're not listed in the package description, a bug would probably be helpful | 16:43 |
| tumbleweed | it's in devscripts now | 16:43 |
| barry | smoser: http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html?highlight=mercurial | 16:44 |
| infinity | barry: And rename my fork "diamondback"? | 16:44 |

| maco | oh expiry | 16:46 |
| maco | http://pastebin.com/X2VAZRFV | 16:46 |
| tumbleweed | maco: hrm, I wonder if sponsor-patch doesn't already cover that (it uses edit-patch) | 16:49 |
| maco | can you tell it to not upload it somewhere? | 16:49 |
| ScottK | Call maco's script sponsoree-patch. | 16:49 |
| maco | heh | 16:49 |
| tumbleweed | maco: yes | 16:50 |
| maco | ScottK: bonus points if it can attach the debdiff to a bug report? | 16:50 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, sponsor-patch is a bad name for that usecase | 16:50 |
| broder | maco: look at what the -s option to sponsor-patch breaks down to and tweak accordingly | 16:51 |
| * maco looks at -b and puzzles | 16:53 | |
| maco | DIST? i just have a crackload of aliases.... pbn build ../foo.dsc, pbo build ../foo.dsc, etc. | 16:54 |
| tumbleweed | maco: standard pbuilder config is to use DIST=natty pbuilder ... | 16:56 |
| tumbleweed | it also supports pbuilder-dist | 16:56 |

| maco | tumbleweed: huh. ok. i just have symlinks in ~ to pbuilder-dist and aliases to call those symlinks | 17:00 |
| tumbleweed | maco: try -B pbuilder-dist then | 17:00 |
| maco | as an argument to what command? | 17:01 |
| maco | (i also dont have a pbuilderrc, so i dont know what this standard config is) | 17:01 |
| tumbleweed | maco: sponsor-patch | 17:01 |
| maco | well, /etc/ has a pbuilderrc, but it just gives a mirrorsite | 17:01 |

| maco | little b you mean? manpage doesnt have a big B | 17:02 |
| tumbleweed | hrm, it should have had it for a while now. What release are you on? | 17:02 |
| maco | maverick | 17:03 |
| tumbleweed | ah, yeah it may have come after that | 17:03 |
| broder | yeah, i think that's too old - i'm pretty sure i added the -B stuff in the natty cycle | 17:03 |
| maco | will have to try when i'm home...which is conveniently also where any source package i may have sitting around are located | 17:03 |
| tumbleweed | unfortunatly you can't just grab the latest u-d-t trunk, because of the devscripts migration, we'd probably have to do decent backports | 17:04 |
| broder | tumbleweed: that's been fixed, at least for natty | 17:04 |
| broder | somebody uploaded a devscripts backport to the dailies ppa | 17:04 |
| tumbleweed | broder: cool, that doesn't help maverick though :) | 17:04 |
| === deryck is now known as deryck[lunch] | ||
| maco | at some point i should upgrade this system | 17:04 |
| broder | tumbleweed: there's a backport in there for maverick, too | 17:05 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, just saw that | 17:05 |
| maco | my team lead at work upgraded to natty because the update manager told him to. then all my coworkers told him he shouldnt have and laughed at his confusion with unity. i think the other kde user went into recruiter mode | 17:05 |
| tumbleweed | unity seems to cause a day or two's pain for most people | 17:06 |
| maco | i told him how to get back to gnome. he checked how much ram he had to answer the initial question he was asked, then shut down ubuntu and went back to his mac. this was the first time id ever seen his ubuntu machine turned on since i started working here in january | 17:07 |
| tumbleweed | maco: so, when you do get home, grab u-d-t from the ~udt-developers PPA | 17:07 |
| broder | (ppa:~udt-developers/daily) | 17:07 |
| maco | tumbleweed: does natty's u-d-t have the thing you're saying? my dev machine at home is on natty | 17:07 |
| Laney | 17:07 | |
| maco | im going to have to reinstall to get my netbook to natty. not enough space to download the packages | 17:07 |
| tumbleweed | maco: yes it does | 17:08 |
| maco | ok then | 17:09 |
| smoser | barry, so my feeling right now is that offlineimap is to intrinsically familiar with IMAP_SSL. | 17:12 |

| tumbleweed | looks like we're about to add backportpackage to that list, if broder does something the debian backporters like | 18:23 |
| bdrung | maybe | 18:23 |
| smoser | cjwatson, do you have thoughts on merging rsyslog from debian ? debian is at 5.8.1-1, oneiric at 4.6.4-2ubuntu4 . 4.6.4-2 was the last of debian's 4.X. http://paste.ubuntu.com/617682/ rsyslog Changelog since 4.6.x | 18:27 |
| ScottK | Laney: If you want to write newbie docs, it's got to be done using the mature tools. I think ignore UDD (for now) would be the right approach. | 18:30 |
| broder | tumbleweed: i think backportpackage will still be more of a u-d-t than a devscript, since the end result will be ubuntu-targeted packages | 18:33 |
| broder | hmm...though i wonder if there's anything in the script right now that would keep you from backporting with -d wheezy or similar | 18:33 |
| ScottK | broder: You might want to talk to Rhonda about that. Rhonda is heavily involved in Debian backports. | 18:38 |
| tumbleweed | broder: well, for a start it wouldn't use the correct version format :) | 18:39 |
| bdmurray | Does anybody know where https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/SettingUp went? | 19:20 |
| barry | i want to do a no-change rebuild. `dch -R -D oneiric` is almost, but not quite, right. when the last changelog entry is this: "jinja2 (2.5.5-5) unstable; urgency=low" the next one will be this: "jinja2 (2.5.5-5build1) oneiric; urgency=low". yes, i can manually fix that, but i'm wondering if dch has an option to use `ubuntu1` instead of `build1` | 19:20 |

| barry | debfx: ah, because autosyncs will continue? | 19:22 |
| bdmurray | barry: and the same is probably true for the other links on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess ? | 19:23 |
| debfx | barry: yes | 19:23 |
| broder | tumbleweed: sure, it would be an "ubuntu-style" backport, and not uploadable to debian, but i don't think we actually verify the destination releases | 19:24 |
| barry | bdmurray: i think the other links will point into subpages of http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/knowledge-base.html | 19:24 |

| slangasek | bryceh, Sarvatt: ok; I think someone will need to epoch it and reupload then | 22:09 |
| slangasek | and either put 'ubuntu' in the version number, or have the archive admins blacklist it for syncing | 22:09 |

| slangasek | micahg: I suppose so | 22:11 |
| bcurtiswx | who maintains planet ubuntu? | 22:11 |
| slangasek | in that case we should definitely add it to the sync blacklist, since we don't want it to show up on the merge list either without specific action | 22:12 |

| bryceh | bcurtiswx, it's open maintenance, I don't think it has a specific maintainer | 22:12 |
| bryceh | slangasek, agreed | 22:13 |
| slangasek | and in general, if people are maintaining packages in Ubuntu with non-Ubuntu version numbers... please ask for them to be added to the sync blacklist, even if there's currently no package of that name in Debian :-) | 22:13 |
