[06:13] <stlsaint> would anyone mind taking a look at these errors at the bottom of this paste: http://paste.debian.net/124453/
[06:27] <geser> stlsaint: the problem are probably those two "fail" in line 35 and 38: try adding "m4" and "curl" to Build-Depends
[07:09] <stlsaint> micahg: the package is calling for some programs that are not in the official repositories for ubuntu
[07:09] <stlsaint> micahg: i am tryign to help someone else debug some failed handbrake build attempts
[07:09] <stlsaint> afk for now
[07:12] <dupondje> micahg: thanks for checking the libjpeg-dev shizzle
[07:12] <dupondje> if we get that fixed, it seems alot of packages will build again :D
[07:26] <artfwo> in comments to a revu upload http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/indicator-cpufreq i was advised to update Standards-Version to 3.9.2, but now lintian complains it's too new: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/revu1-incoming/indicator-cpufreq-1107290924/lintian
[07:26] <artfwo> should i decrease it back to 3.9.1?
[07:31] <geser> artfwo: no, lintian on REVU just don't know 3.9.2 yet
[07:31] <artfwo> ah, okay
[07:37] <artfwo> so, the issues in revu are worked out, if anyone feels like sponsoring a package (url above), please do so :)
[08:19] <bobweaver> !info
[09:07] <bobweaver> hi there I would like to learn more about how a distro like ubuntu is put together upstreams and how it is all put together wouls love  any links thanks
[09:41] <artfwo> bobweaver: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment might be a good overview
[15:27] <ojap> Hi, I'm looking to contribute code to Ubuntu and have gone through setting up my environment. I was just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on the next stages I need to take to find a suitable bug.
[15:32] <broder> ojap: you could try taking a look at http://harvest.ubuntu.com/opportunities/, but what a "suitable bug" is would depend a lot on your background and skillset
[15:35] <ojap> broder: I have had a look at the Harvest site, I am a comp sci student with experience in a few different languages, looking to start with simple bugs to begin with
[15:36] <broder> ojap: sounds like the bitesize bugs would be a good place to start, then
[15:38] <broder> ojap: note that the default view is limited to packages that are part of ubuntu-desktop, but i don't think that will include things like core plumbing packages
[15:38] <broder> and definitely won't include packages that aren't on the ubuntu desktop CD
[15:38] <broder> so you could remove the limit if you wanted to widen your search some
[15:44] <ojap> broder: Yeah, bitesize bugs to begin with - just trying to find something suitable.
[15:49] <ojap> broder: Maybe looking for a typo or something similar just to understand the process.
[15:52] <broder> ojap: i can look and see if i spot something that looks easy
[15:55] <ojap> broder: any help would be great, thanks
[15:59] <broder> ojap: bug #791866 and bug #793554 basically amount to typo bugs, and it'd be fairly straightforward to fix them both simultaneously
[15:59] <broder> i would also poke around and see if there are any other similar bugs that you could roll into one fix
[16:09] <ojap> thanks everyone - understanding how to branch the code and then actually fixing the code is going to take me a little while to get working
[16:11] <broder> hmm...anybody know if harvest is running on the same machine as the sponsor queue? there are several bugs in harvest that are marked fix released
[16:13] <tumbleweed> broder: very different IPs
[16:13] <broder> tumbleweed: so they are. i guess i'll just have to harass dholbach next time he's around
[16:13] <micahg> broder: he's on vacation :)
[16:14]  * broder is in no rush :)
[16:15] <broder> aha - harvest pulls from http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/launchpad-database/bitesize.csv
[16:15] <broder> which *would* be the same server as the sponsor queue :)
[16:15] <tumbleweed> yup
[16:16] <micahg> broder: so, you can file a bug against the ubuntu-qa-website I think
[16:17] <broder> i think harvest is just behind on checking the csv file
[16:18] <micahg> well, now that you know the csv file, you can check if the bugs are in there
[16:18] <broder> they're not
[16:18] <broder> at least not the one i saw earlier
[21:24] <RenatoSilva> is there any other support channel, more advanced for ubuntu? #ubuntu is often useless to me. Example: alt+f2 stopped working, and the button for showing desktop on the bottom-left disappeared.
[21:25] <dtchen> 17:25 -!- Channel #ubuntu-power-users created Thu May 19 07:32:30 2011
[21:25] <dtchen> ^^ RenatoSilva
[21:25] <dtchen> be aware that it won't be nearly as active
[21:25] <RenatoSilva> ok
[21:26] <RenatoSilva> tx
[21:27] <Laney> compared to #ubuntu, that might not be a bad thing :-)
[21:29] <RenatoSilva> ok thanks
[21:42] <jtaylor> us $(all_libraries) some special libtool/autotools variable?
[21:58] <jtaylor> ... some dpkg-shlisb warnings should really be made errors, nobody reads them
[22:00] <jtaylor> including me who submitted an incomplete patch for paps :/
