hrwquestion I have08:11
hrwW: armel-cross-toolchain-base source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch08:11
hrwW: armel-cross-toolchain-base source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-indep08:11
hrwarmel-cross-toolchain-base builds both arch and indep packages in build: step and tehre is no way to build only indep ones (the order depends on arch ones). should I add build-arch: (same as build now) and build-indep: (same as build now) + build: build-arch build-indep?08:12
tumbleweedhrw: you could probably make build-arch and build-indep depend on build (as described in the long lintian info)08:34
hrwthx08:35
jtaylorwhen is the next sync going to be done? there is quite a large number of outstanding syncs09:49

slangasekwhat then?10:06
slangasekyeah, not going to have time for any batch processing of archive requests today, sorry10:07
slangasekif you have an urgent one point me at it and I *might* be able to take a look... but no promises10:07

cjwatsonmodulo networking10:09
cjwatsonsigh, queue length 8510:09
cjwatsonI'll do as many as I can10:09
jtaylornothing urgent to my knowledge, I was just wondering when it would be done10:09
jtayloronly a question no request10:10
cjwatsonhard to distinguish the two since people put both in the same form10:14
bdrungScottK: i gave the maintenance to cdbs10:26
Laneycjwatson: maybe wait and see if the others volunteer?10:29
LaneyI don't like overloading one person too much ...10:30
ricotzstgraber, hello :), i noticed some new version tags in ltsp, but there are no new releases, would you say the daily build ppa is usable for stable needs?10:53
ScottKcdbs: I was wondering if you might look into getting audacious-plugins to build. We need to rebuild it for the libmtp8 transition, but ld and it don't get along:11:08
ScottK/usr/bin/ld: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: unexpected redefinition of indirect versioned symbol `nanosleep@GLIBC_2.0'11:08

jtaylorgaa stupid xdotool testsuite failed on armel while it worked on debians builders11:22
jtayloranyone have a working armel pbuilder? I can't get mine to work11:26
geserjtaylor: perhaps persia as he was working on the pbuilder support for armel in the past11:27
ricotzYokoZar, hi, could you upload the new wine in ppa for lucid too11:40
YokoZarricotz: yeah in progress atm11:41
ricotzYokoZar, thanks11:41
tumbleweedjtaylor: always worked fine for me (but I've migrated to sbuild these days)12:08
jtaylorI can create and update it fine but I can't install or build any packages in it12:09
tumbleweedif you can update it, you should be able to build in it12:09
tumbleweedwhat's the error?12:09
jtaylorpackage does not exist, or is purely virtual12:10
tumbleweedduring dependency installation? Does it have the correct apt sources?12:11
jtaylorhm sources should be http://ports.ubuntu.com?12:12
tumbleweedyes12:12
jtaylorthatrs probably the problem12:12
jtaylorI have archive in the source12:12
jtaylorbut why does it update then :/12:12
jtaylormy pbuilderrc was screwing up12:15
jtaylorthx for the hint12:15
persiageser: THat's really all in qemu-deboostrap: the only pbuilder bit I did was to u-d-t's pbuilder-dist12:44
persiaSomeone (who uses pbuilder) ought look at getting that into pbuilder properly.12:44
tumbleweedjtaylor: was just looking at bug 801945 and got caught up in ubuntutools/builder.py. Two questions? Surely s/cowbuilderdist/cowbuilder-dist/. Any reason to separate name from command? (I'm adding detection for builders that aren't installed, rather than bailing out on an OSError12:45

ricotzstgraber, alright, actually i was hoping for an updated lucid version -- maybe a stable ppa is useful if the dailies are too risky13:52
slangasekdupondje: why did you request gawk to be synced?  You've now caused a component-mismatch as the new version has a build-dependency on a library that the old version did not, and AFAICS you haven't in the process fixed any bugs that were troubling anyone using Ubuntu13:59
jtaylorwhere are coredumps placed which apt/dpkg create?14:02
jtaylorlibgvc5 segfaults on installation on armel14:02
Davieyslangasek: I can't see that dupondje did the sync?14:07
stgraberricotz: AFAIK the dailies won't boot on lucid either (although they do build) because of a udhcp bug affecting lucid in the current trunk branch.14:07

Davieyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianImportFreeze <-- It does *not* suggest syncs that resolve issues only.14:21
slangasekdupondje: ah, that's true; regardless, we need to sort out the build-deps now, so thank you for following up there :)14:22
Laneydholbach: can you follow up on -devel about the genesis of UCD? You were involved in its creation IIRC.14:48
dholbachyou mean the name?14:49
Laneylike why is it a separate thing14:49
Laneyseparate from ~ubuntumembers14:49
dholbachit's what other governance boards do as well: there's ~{kubuntu,edubuntu,ubuntu-irc,ubuntu-forums}members14:50
dholbach(the actual team names are a bit different though, I think)14:50
dholbachwhile all of these teams are part of ubuntumembers, they are separate because some governance boards might grant additional rights at some stage (ie: commit rights, voting rights, etc.)14:51
dholbachI still think that's a good idea, but I agree that the name is misleading :/14:51
LaneyI wouldn't mind if we renamed it to Ubuntu Development Members14:53
Laneybut yeah, please clarify this on the list :-)14:53
Daviey~ubuntu-dev is essentially Ubuntu Development Members, anyway?14:54
Laneyno14:54
Davieyoh?14:54
Laneythat grants a load of extra team memberships14:54
Laneyand voting rights14:54
LaneyI'm adding that rename to the agenda15:01
dholbachLaney, done15:01
Laneythanks15:01
* Laney tried to make UbuntuDevelopers a bit clearer around prospective/contributing15:11
persiaLaney: I'm a bit attached to the idea that the contrinbyting developers are collectively responsible for the archive, rather than some narrower team.15:34
persiaTHat said, I am *very* attached to the idea that "Ubuntu Developers" are all the developers, and cover the entire archive.  That we insist that all packageset teams include core-dev as a member is an artifact of our current strategy, and may not continue to be true if anyone ever decides to implement a restricted packageset.15:35
persiaSo "15:35
persiaSo "Are collectively responsible for some subset of packages in Ubuntu" is disturbing to me.15:36
persiaI'm also uncomfortable with "are collectively responsible for the maintenance of packages in the universe and multiverse components".  That's a filed bug in Soyuz, and not intended to remain true in any way.15:37
Laneyreponsibility> It's unclear to me what that responsibility entails in practice, and I'm not sure what a similar analog would be for other forms of membership. I also don't know why becoming UCD would place any more burden on anyones shoulders that they did not have before.15:40
LaneySo I guess that's your second remark — I'd be in favour of saying that /all/ developers are responsible for /all/ packages, not just the ones they can upload.15:41
Laneycomponents> yes, the document already mentioned them and that section should be reworded (perhaps once the permissions model is fixed)15:41
jtaylorcan someone rebuild matplotlib on armel? the buildlog does not indicate any problem with the package15:42
jtaylormaybe the archive was in a bad state at that time?15:42
jtaylormy chroot does not work as it crashes n graphviz installation, would be good to see if the same happens in the buildd15:42
Laneydevelopers (even those who consider themselves prospective developers)15:44
Davieyjtaylor: given back.15:44
jtaylorthx15:44
oierhi, could some motu-dev please review my package 'indicator-bug' at http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=9151 ? I already have one advocate and I am looking for a second one16:00
oierit's a fairly simple python indicator which displays a list of bugs for launchpad projects depending on the bug preferences16:02
oierupdates the list and notifies if there are new bugs which match the given search preferences (for example bugs that are tagged as bitesize)16:03
persiaLaney: I'm happy with all developers being responsible for everything, regardless of upload rights.  My concern is mostly about not wanting to block people from a sense of caring for a package just because they don't (yet) have upload rights.16:04
oierso if somebody could help reviewing and uploading it I would be very grateful16:04
persiaMy desire when drafting the UCD text was that people applying for UCD would be willing to assert that they explicitly intended to accept responsibility for the packages.  In practice, I'm not sure that really worked the way I'd hoped.16:05
persiaOn components, I'm happy to leave some text there until we fix Soyuz: my main fear is that folk are likely to be confused when they lose upload rights (unless they join appropriate teams), but I suspect that we need to take care to communicate that clearly *anyway* and the text on that wiki page doesn't matter as much.16:07

maddagaskaHi. If creating a package containing a web site, what would be the correct path to place its files in? Judging by FHS, it should go in one of /opt or /usr/local, but lintian produces errors for both those directories.18:26
Davieymaddagaska: normally, /usr/share/ .. but i assume the website is static?18:32
Davieyor rather, doesn't need editing.18:32
maddagaskaDaviey: That's correct.18:32
maddagaskaSo in that case, /usr/share is best?18:33
maddagaskaMuch better output on Lintian with that- thanks!18:34
Davieymaddagaska: groovy.18:34
maddagaskaAnd with that done, I'll fix permissions tomorrow- thanks again, Daviey.18:38

jtaylorno you have to request a sync manually23:05
lifelessonly during freezes23:05
jtaylorthe requestsync tool in ubuntu-dev-tools is helpful23:05
lifelessdepends how urgently you need it.23:05
jtaylorif its already in ubuntu you always need to do it manually23:05
lifelessjtaylor: thats incorrect.23:06
jtaylor? it will automatically overwritte ubuntu changes? thats new to me23:06
lifelessno23:06
lifelessif its diverged, you need to merge or sync.23:06

ajmitchdebian import freeze was last month, wasn't it?23:07
lifelesscurrent version in Ubuntu is 1.2-2 unaltered; so it will sync after we release, or you can request a sync to update it now.23:07

lifelessjariq: or wait; depends if you want it in 11.1023:09
jariqsure i want23:09
lifelessin which case yes, request a sync :)23:10
micahgLaney: I forget DIF is called a freeze, but, please correct me if I'm wrong, it just stops the auto-import of new stuff23:10
lifelessdo you have an LP account ?23:10
jariqyes i do.. sync can be requested via LP ?23:10
lifelessthe script uses LP apis23:11
jtaylornot yet, but requestsync --lp packagename is equaly fast23:11
