jtaylorzooko, davidsarah: pycryptopp upgrade bug 81172100:04
ubottuLaunchpad bug 811721 in pycryptopp (Ubuntu) "update pycryptopp to version 0.5.29-1 in natty" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/81172100:04
stlsaintis it safe to go ahead and set debian/compat level to 8 over 7? my package has no real depends on it but a build on launchpad just failed due to the debhelper on the virtual machine only supporting 700:33
Laneysounds like you answered your own question - you won't be able to build the package if debhelper 8 isn't available00:35
broderdebhelper(7) documents what changed between different debhelper compat levels00:37
broderbut as i recall the differences are fairly minimal and specialized00:37
Laneyshared libraries get symbols as well as shlibs00:38

oierquestion:  I get a lintian warning of "latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-version", this is because the package is built on a PPA and has the revno in it's name, so it's newer than the revision specified in the changelog10:47
oierdo I have to sync the bzr commits with debian/changelog?10:48
oierfor example now in the debian changelog read 0.1 version but the latest built package is 0.1-0~40~oneiric110:49
oieror can I ignore the lintian warning?10:50
Ampelbeinoier: can you paste the changelog on paste.ubuntu.com?10:57
oierhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/645784/10:58
Ampelbeinoier: ok, and you used a override to change the version when building?10:59
oierI am using a daily PPA which attaches the revno in the name11:00
oierlike 0.1-0~40~oneiric111:00
oierI am trying to get the oackage in shape to upload it to universe11:01
Ampelbeinah, ok. you see: 0.1 is greater than 0.1-0~40~oneiric1.11:02
oierwould I have to change the name of the package when uploading to revu to match 0.1~oneiric1?11:03
Ampelbein(dpkg --compare-versions 0.1 gt 0.1-0~40~oneiric1 && echo 0.1 is greater)11:03
oieror do I have to change the debian changelog for each commit to match the version number of the revno?11:03
Ampelbeinno, you should use a non-native version for your debian package. (0.1-0ubuntu1 for example, <upstreamversion>-<debianrevision>ubuntu<ubunturevision>11:04
oierI mean how should I proceed to get rid of the warning?11:04
Ampelbeina version like 0.1 indicates a debian native package, meaning that there is no upstream.11:05
oierso, I don't have to change neither the ppa building recipe nor the changelog, just rename 0.1-0~40~oneiric1 to 0.1~oneiric1 when uploading to revu?11:06
Ampelbeinno11:06
Ampelbeinyou have to change the changelog to the correct version11:07
Ampelbeinso if you have upstream version 0.1 it would be 0.1-0ubuntu111:07
Ampelbein(0=The package is not in debian, ubuntu1=This is the first ubuntu revision)11:07
oierand that would work for natty and oneiric versions?11:08
Ampelbeinoier: new packages won't be accepted in natty anymore.11:08
oierok11:08
oierok I think I got it, http://paste.ubuntu.com/645788/11:09
Ampelbeinthe ~ should be a -11:10
Ampelbein~ indicates a "less than" relation ship, so 0.1~1 is smaller than 0.111:10
oierok thanks a lot11:10
oierBTW the last lintian warning I get is binary-without-manpage usr/bin/indicator-bug11:11
oierdoes each application which installs a binary have to provide a manpage? I mean the app is a indicator11:12
Ampelbeinusually yes11:20

jtaylorwhat happens when a -proposed verificaton fails?11:40
jtaylordoes it get removed from -proposed?11:42
Ampelbeinjtaylor: From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates: "Removal will happen immediately if a package update in -proposed is found to introduce a nontrivial regression."11:53
Ampelbeinso I guess that means yes11:53
zookoGood morning, folks! (UTC-6)11:54
zookolifeless, jtaylor: I realized that there *is* a packaging issue in the upgrade of Tahoe-LAFS from 1.8.2 to 1.9.0: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/120012:54
zookotahoe-lafs now comes with a bundled copy of protovis and jquery.12:54
zookolifeless, jtaylor: would it be possible to get Tahoe-LAFS v1.9 into Oneiric, if it is in feature-freeze status, where we don't accept any non-bugfix patches, at Oneiric Feature Freeze, but it isn't in final released status until later?12:55
zookoWe like to have a period of user testing after we've stopped making changes to the code base and before we call the thing a final release that people can entrust their data to.12:56
zookoBut, it is likely that this period will overlap the Oneiric Feature Freeze date this time.12:56
jtayloryou can get feature freeze exceptions if the new functionality is worth it12:57
zookoWell, I think we won't worry too much about the Oneiric Feature Freeze deadline. We definitely want to finish integrating the new features that are already almost ready -- notably more scalable mutable files and directories -- and we definitely want to have a good thorough cycle of having our users test the resulting code before we bless it as v1.9.0.13:04
zookoHopefully that blessing step -- the official Tahoe-LAFS v1.9.0 release -- will be either just before Oneiric Feature Freeze or soon after, and I'll do whatever I can to get Tahoe-LAFS v1.9 into Oneiric.13:04
zookoWhat do we need to do to package the new dependency on jquery and protovis in an Ubuntu-correct manner?13:05
zookoAlso, jtaylor, would you be interested in packaging up Tahoe-LAFS trunk, perhaps as a PPA or something, before it is blessed as v1.9.0?13:05
jtaylorI don't use tahoe, so I can't support it, I can merely give packaging advice13:07
zookoOkay.13:07
zookoI'll ask rockstar if he'll do it.13:07
zookoSo, give me some packaging advice. My Python project now depends on Javascript libraries.13:08
zookoAfter a long and agonizing design process, we concluded that there is no good way to do this, and so we're doing the same bad way that everyone else does: including a copy of the Javascript libraries in our app.13:08
jtaylorare you able to use the version packaged in ubuntu/debian/13:10
zookoI assume so.13:12
* zooko checks version numbers13:12
jtayloris the tahoe packaging in some Vcs?13:14
jtaylorfound it13:17
zookohttp://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1200#comment:1413:18
jtayloris protovis packaged?13:25
jtaylorcan't find it13:25
zookoDarn.13:26
zookoDoes that mean we need to get protovis packaged for Ubuntu before we can upgrade Tahoe-LAFS in Ubuntu to 1.913:28
zookoI guess so.13:28
jtaylorthat would be preferable, but not required13:29
zookoShould I open a request for packaging for protovis?13:56
zookoWell, I am off for an all-day car trip to my mom's farmhouse in New Mexico. :-)14:00
zookoChat later!14:00
bdrunghi, someone here with a maverick i386 system who can testbuild a package?15:52

oierhi, I have uploaded a new package to REVU  called indicator-bug 3 hours ago but eventhough dput tells that everything went fine, I can't find the uploaded package on REVU16:38
ubottuLaunchpad bug 3 in Launchpad itself "Custom information for each translation team" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/316:38
oierit's my first time uploading to REVU so maybe I made some mistake16:39
oierif I try uploading again dput tells "Package has already been uploaded to revu on revu.ubuntuwire.com"16:40
oierdoes anybody know what's going on?16:40
azeemoier: that's from the .upload file I think16:41
azeemyou need to remove it/move it away (or possibly use some dput --force option) to reupload16:41
oierbut the first time I uploaded with dput it told me taht everything went fine, so I assume that it should be on revu16:42
oierthe upload file says that it uploaded everything succesfully16:43
azeemoier: so why do you want to reupload?16:44
oieri don't find the package on the revu site16:44
azeemhrm, can't help you with that16:45
azeembut just reuploading will probably not help16:45
oierbut is it normal that dput tells the upload was succesfull and then revu to not show the package?16:46
oierI've never used revu before so I am not familiar with it16:46
azeemwell, dput uploads to somewhere on revu16:46
azeemI guess that upload has to be processed by revu somehow to make it appear on the webpage16:47
azeempossibly you have to get an account or something; I'm not using revu16:47
geserthe upload is successful, but the part which processes the upload is probably not happy about something, contact an REVU admin who can check why16:47
oierI am logged in revu with my launchpad account16:47
oierwho is an revu admin?16:48
geseroier: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU, just above the "How to log in" section16:50

gilberthi, i would like  to suggest pulling in the latest xpdf package 3.02-17 from debian unstable.   this fixes a segfault issue lp:#788343, and may address the longstanding segfault lp:#669211.  anyway, the oneiric xpdf package is just in bad shape  right now...17:20
micahggilbert: so, if Debian has all the changes of the ubuntu diff, you can request a sync with requestsync from ubuntu-dev-tools, otherwise, you can ask the last uploader if he's interested in doing the merge or if you could do it17:20
gilbertmichag: i've applied all of the ubuntu changes to the debian package, so it can be used directly now17:23
bdrungjtaylor: thanks17:24
micahggilbert: great!, so just request a sync with requestsync and it'll end up in the sponsorship queue, someone will look at it and ACK it17:24
gilbertmicahg: ok, doing that now.  thanks for your help!17:26
micahggilbert: you're welcome17:27
gilbertmicahg: i keep getting timeouts to fiordland.ubuntu.com when running requestsync...17:30
micahggilbert: if you have an lp account you can use --lp17:30
micahgI don't think anyone's around that can look at the timeout issue ATM17:32
gesergilbert: you might be using an out-dated version of ubuntu-dev-tools. fiordland.u.c was hardcoded in older versions but isn't a SMTP server anymore17:33
gilbertgeser: yes, i'm using the version in debian squeeze17:34
gilberti'll just move to my unstable box17:34
jtayloryou can also just copy paste the text into the web interface17:35
micahgjtaylor: yeah, but requestsync should do the subscribe as well for ubuntu-sponsors17:36
jtaylorwell thats just a few more clicks17:36
micahgindeed17:36
jtaylordid that before I learned of the --lp flag as it did not support startls17:38
geserbdrung, tumbleweed: could something be done about the ubuntu-dev-tools package in Debian stable as requestsync from that version still has the old MX hardcoded? backport or would it warrant a SRU?17:39
bdrunggeser: backporting is harder, because then you have to backport devscripts and distro-info too17:41
bdrunggeser: i think SRU is the way to go asuming that the old MX does not work any more17:41
geserbdrung: it was bug 710925 (fixed in u-d-t 0.115)17:42

micahggilir: so, I'm looking at libdesktop-agnostic which you uploaded to Debian and the only diff we have is in the symbols file, Ubuntu has 0.3.91 for some symbols and Debian has 0.3.92, is this diff worth keeping?22:13
RenatoSilvaHi. Emerald 0.8.8 *must* get into natty, please22:18
micahgRenatoSilva: entering a channel and demanding things is not likely to be successful22:18
micahgRenatoSilva: you can request a backport to natty, instructions are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports22:19
RenatoSilvait's a new version maybe with new features (actually none I've noted) which could disturb users, ok somewhat a rule you guys follow. That is, it will be in Oneiric. BUT... the problem is that current emerald for natty DOESN'T WORK.22:21
RenatoSilvaHence a good reason to update to 0.8.8 or if you wish, find out what's wrong and patch it (which I find the hard way because I just can confirm 0.8.8 works in Natty, apparently "as is": https://launchpad.net/~malteworld/+archive/compiz)22:21
micahgRenatoSilva: there's an SRU in natty-proposed, have you tried it?22:21
RenatoSilvamicahg: iirc I tried but can't recall if it even worked. Even so, the problem is that the system will keep pulling updates to ALL packages when I want updates from proposed only for that *specific* package. This is the main reason this approach doesn't work for me.22:23
micahgRenatoSilva: add something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/646075/ to /etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed22:24
micahgthen you'll only pull in what you explicitly select from -proposed and any necessary dependencies22:25
micahgRenatoSilva: it'll go into -updates once it's been verified and has passed the 7 day waiting period22:28
RenatoSilvasorry micahg I don't get what that text lines mean and they'll be hard to manage (if later I want to change it, I'll have to remember file names and specific lines, which is more easy/intuitive with gui steps). So I'm afraid to blindly doing that...22:30
micahgRenatoSilva: the gui way would be enable, -proposed, update the one package you want to update, disable -proposed22:31
RenatoSilvait would help if update manager had nodes separating each section22:32
RenatoSilvasorry I don't recall if it has, iirc it's all mixed...22:33
RenatoSilvayour suggestion seems ok, maybe I tried it but didn't work. Maybe I'll try again22:33
micahgRenatoSilva: when you enable proposed, you'll have to uncheck everything in update-manager you don't want I guess22:34
RenatoSilvamicahg: yeah, possibly, I think I'll test right now...22:34
RenatoSilvaanyway, the only way to know when it went to update is by regularly watching the versions with apt-cache policy emerald?22:34
micahgRenatoSilva: or subscribe to the bug22:35
