RenatoSilvaanyone know how to create a filter in synaptic for showing checked changes only from proposed?00:39
RenatoSilvaalso, how to exclude filters in synaptic? exclude button doesn't work, so I need to hack into the files...00:42
RenatoSilvaRenatoSilva: remove manually from /root/.synaptic/filters00:47
RenatoSilvathanks00:47
RenatoSilvasorry guys but #ubuntu is mostly useless, sorry for asking here: can I safely do a sudo cp /etc/skel/.bashrc /root/.bashrc in Natty (11.04). Are they the same file in Natty????01:42

AnAntHello, what's the preferred bug title for merge requests ?05:38
RAOFAnAnt: Depends - do you want something to be merged, or do you want a merge sponsored?05:39
AnAntto be sponsored05:40
RAOF“Please merge $FOO from $DEBIAN_RELEASE” is what I'd go with.05:40
philipballewhey, there's a package in apt-get thats like 6 years out of date. can i build a deb for it or sugest it gets updated for 11.10?05:40
AnAntRAOF: and use merge tag ?05:43
RAOFphilipballew: Certainly!05:43
philipballewits kismet05:43
jmarsdenphilipballew: Yes.  You can also check if it is being synced from Debian, and if so, talk with its existing maintainer, or become its maintainer :)05:43
philipballewi would love to be a maintainer!05:43
philipballewhow can i learn!05:44
RAOFAnAnt: I guess; I generally don't look at tags, and it'll just hit the sponsoring queue, which I think I'm due to be wandering through tomorrow :)05:44
AnAntRAOF: you sponsor main packages ?05:44
RAOFAnAnt: Now that I'm a core-dev, yes :)05:44
jmarsdenphilipballew: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/  is one place to start05:44
AnAntRAOF: ah, congrats05:45
philipballewsounds like ill have some fun reading!!!05:45
zookoFolks: we're hoping to upgrade Tahoe-LAFS in Ubuntu to the new Tahoe-LAFS v1.9 (not yet released) when it is ready. It will have a new dependency -- on protovis. Does anyone want to package protovis for Ubuntu?05:45
RenatoSilvahow to notify the propose guys some package should not go into mainstream, because it's buggy?06:34

RAOFOr even propagated ;).  Also, man, we still have emerald in the archive?  And it works at all with the new compiz?06:37
RenatoSilvawhat's SRU? just forgot06:37
jmarsdenRenatoSilva: Stable Release Update06:38
RAOFStable Release Update; in order to get into -proposed that emerald package must have been marked as fixing at least one SRU bug.06:38

philipballewjmarsden, once i learn how to package, how can i get started with ubuntu?06:41

RAOFNote that we're not going to pull in a PPA package into the stable release :).06:53
RenatoSilvaJust commented on the original bug where I found the solution to my problem, is that enough or I need to comment somewhere else?06:54
RenatoSilvaRAOF: I think you can just pull the Oneiric's06:54
RenatoSilvaRAOF: they're probably the same stuff06:55
RAOFWe're unlikely to pull in oneiric's, either, although if the current version is *totally* broken then we might.06:55
RenatoSilvaI mean pull from oneiric06:56
RenatoSilvaoneiric contains the 0.8.8 package, then just use it in natty, that's my suggestion06:57
RenatoSilvaRAOF: yes, the current version in release, 0.7.2-0ubuntu6, DOESN'T WORK06:58
RenatoSilvaRAOF: it doesn't show up ANY border in the windows. I think it's just because current Natty's compiz is too new, and 0.8.8 is the one which works with the new compiz.06:59
RenatoSilvaRAOF: just to be very clear: the proposed 0.7.2-0ubuntu6.1 doesn't work either (can't see right border)07:00
RenatoSilvaI just want to help in the sense that (1) current emerald is totally broken (2) that fix in proposed is broken too (3) the 0.8.8 version works fine in natty (at least the one from that PPA, which is likely the same as the one pushed to Oneiric)07:04
RAOFRight.07:04
RenatoSilvaok so anything else I could do? Comment on another bug or something?07:08
RenatoSilvagotta go. I'm subscribed to that bug in any case07:16

oierHi, I uploaded a new package (an indicator)  I wrote to REVU, and I get an error about the maintainer field "The Maintainer field is invalid. It has to contain an @ubuntu.com address (usually the Ubuntu Developer Team's). The packager can leave his/her name as XSBC-Original-Maintainer. "09:50
oiersince I wrote the package and intend to maintain it I don't understand the error09:51
dupondjeWhat we do with a package that got removed in Debian?09:51
oieryou can check the control file here http://paste.ubuntu.com/646361/09:53
jtaylorwhat the reason for the removal?09:53
oierBTW, I got a second question. Should the version number be 0.1 or 0.1-0ubuntu1? it has never be published before in debian or ubuntu09:55
jtaylor0ubuntu1 then09:56
oierbut the i get the error because of the maintainer field09:57
oierdpkg-source: warning: Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but Maintainer: does not have Ubuntu address09:57
oier and also "dpkg-source: warning: Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but there is no XSBC-Original-Maintainer field"09:58
oierdoes that mean that only ubuntu members can be maintainers?09:58
jtaylorubuntu has no dedicated maintainer I think09:58
oierso what should i put in the maintainer field then?10:00
jtaylorI guess you can ignore that messages, its probably do prevent that ubuntu users spam debian maintainers with ubuntu bugs10:04
jtaylorbut as there is no debian version that should not apply10:04
Laneywe still usually use the list for maintainer and packager for XSBC-Original-Maintainer10:05

technomancymicahg: thanks!17:13
micahgtechnomancy: oh, and reset the status back to new as well, thanks17:13
technomancyis it cutting it kind of close in terms of timing to make it into oneric, or is there a good chance it could land?17:14
technomancyI've got a new package I'd love to see make it in, but it has this plus three other deps that need to be synced.17:15
micahgtechnomancy: we're still 3 weeks out from feature freeze17:15
technomancythat sounds encouraging. =)17:16
technomancyhm; the package is clojure1.2 in sid, should that be considered a new package for the purposes of requestsync?17:17
micahgtechnomancy: yes17:18
technomancyso just take the output of requestsync and add it as a comment?17:20
technomancyit doesn't look like I can edit the description17:20
micahgtechnomancy: I'd just suggest a new request since it's for a new source17:20
micahgtechnomancy: is Debian deprecating the old sourcE?17:21
oierhi again, after addresing the packaging issues I had thanks to jtaylor, I am looking for some MOTUs to take a look at my package on REVU and upload it eventually http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=915017:21

dupondjeamd6417:39
bdrungdupondje: building the packages does not consume the time. the time consuming part is to check the diffs17:39
dupondjewell true :)17:40
bdrungdupondje: and 2 of 12 failed to build today. so that's a valid check.17:45

Laneyplease, as we have repeatedly urged, exercise restraint when requesting syncs18:02
micahgdupondje: the only point in syncing them at this point is if the Debian uploaded added something on top of the Ubuntu patch18:03
micahgdupondje: otherwise, just wait for next cycle, or a new Debian upload with something we need18:03
technomancywhy do I get "relay access denied" with requestsync? do I need to provide lp credentials or something?18:04
Ampelbeintechnomancy: that's a message from a smtp-server.18:05
dupondjecause it can't email :)18:05
Davieytechnomancy: use requestsync --lp18:06
technomancyDaviey: thanks18:06
Davieythen it'll use the lp api, rather than mail.18:06
Daviey(/me ponders why that isn't the default.)18:06
gesertechnomancy: which ubuntu-dev-tools version do you use?18:07
micahgDaviey: not everyone wants to have an LP account/auth against it, I guess18:07
Davieymicahg: then they can use --mail :)18:07
micahgheh18:07
Davieymicahg: it's not like it's running a binary blob with credentials. :/18:08
geserDaviey: when --lp got added, I didn't want to change the default (mail) and till now there was no discussion about the default mode so it stayed that way18:08
