[00:23] <RAOF> Is anyone here familiar with the archive side of the kernel SRU process?  It looks like the final step of copying from proposed→{updates,security} is just a job for a regular sru-release.py, but I'm not sure of that.  And the combination of “unsure” and “copying to -updates” is not one I'm comfortable with ☺.
[01:10] <RAOF> Laney: Actually, here's probably more relevant :)

[14:45] <diwic> infinity, for me the super+{s|a|f|t} are always working whereas the 1-9 are sometimes broken.
[14:46] <infinity> On the other hand, someone (perhaps accidentally) fixed the misfeature where compiz/unity was trapping ALL super modifiers.

[15:54] <tkamppeter> seb128, we talked about a package rename in foomatic-db last Friday. OdyX from Debian did not like it, because it is a very complicated thing to rename packages in Debian.
[15:56] <tkamppeter> seb128, so I made him the suggestion to get back into sybc by renaming foomatic-db-xml back to foomatic-db and let the drivers build-depend on foomatic-db but build-conflict with foomatic-db-compressed-ppds. Would the build handle this correctly then, installing foomatic-db and uninstalling foomatic-db-compressed-ppds if it is already installed?
[15:57] <seb128> tkamppeter, yes, that would work
[15:58] <tkamppeter> tkamppeter, I have also suggested the alternative to let foomatic-db Provide foomatic-db-xml. Would this also work, meaning that the build-depends on foomatic-db-xml then install foomatic-db and uninstall foomatic-db-compressed-ppds if it is already installed?
[15:59] <tkamppeter> seb128, ^^ if that alternative also works, then I would not need to modify the driver packages.
[16:00] <seb128> tkamppeter, that would work but provides are not versioned
[16:01] <seb128> tkamppeter, so if you do that you couldn't have a build-depends on a specific foomatic-db-xml version
[16:01] <seb128> or you would need to build-depends on foomatic-db (>= version), foomatic-db-xml
[16:01] <seb128> which works as well
[16:01] <seb128> tkamppeter, so basically your call, or whatever Debian prefers
[16:02] <tkamppeter> seb128, so I will do the former, it is easier for versioned dependencies.
[16:02] <seb128> right
[16:06] <tkamppeter> seb128, will I need a transitional package named foomatic-db-xml to get correct updates for the few people who have taken my last foomatic-db package? And how long do I have to keep this transitional package?
[16:08] <geser> tkamppeter: did you had a transitional package from -db to -db-xml?
[16:09] <tkamppeter> geser, yes.
[16:09] <geser> tkamppeter: I guess you could drop the transitional package for -db-xml to -db in a couple of weeks (but before release) as till then hopefully all affect alpha users should got it updated
[16:10] <tkamppeter> geser, OK, thanks.
[16:13] <seb128> tkamppeter, right, do one and drop it in a few weeks
[16:15] <tkamppeter> seb128, I am doing this now, thanks.

[18:54] <seb128> mterry, you could apply that to half of GNOME 3.1
[18:54] <seb128> but fair enough, your call, we will update when something update its configure requirements
[18:54] <mterry> seb128, :)  GNOME is a special case.  libsoup2.4 has historically been in sync, we only broke it for a security fix
[18:54] <mterry> I mean, it was recently in sync, I don't recall its actual history

[18:59] <seb128> mterry, but i've to say versions push me to do those updates, I really dislike red on version :p
[18:59] <mterry> seb128, yup.  I just didn't realize libsoup2.4 was in versions.html (i.e. among the set ubuntu-desktop cares about).  I thought it was a lesser-cared-for-by-us output of GNOME

[20:09] <lifeless> slangasek: so, thoughts - disable the call, put an || true on the call, or change the relation ?
[20:10] <SpamapS> I wonder, was ubuntu-keyring in base packages before and now isn't ?
[20:10] <slangasek> lifeless: having a look at the history, one sec
[20:10] <lifeless> slangasek: bah, its been too long since I refreshed my predepends definitions :) - sorry.
[20:12] <SpamapS> please ignore.. that was a warning, but not what was failing my build

[20:20] <slangasek> lifeless: looks like the Recommends: ubuntu-keyring is entirely inconsistent with Debian (which has Depends: debian-archive-keyring), so I'd say we should promote it to a Depends
[20:25] <lifeless> ok
[20:26] <lifeless> I'll see about tossing a bzr branch up later today; for now I have to take lynne down for a checkup
[20:34] <hallyn> hm, python won't update in oneiric vm
[20:34] <hallyn> debconf: DbDriver "config": could not open /var/cache/debconf/config.dat

[21:04] <jtaylor> hi, how can I mark a package as "should-not-be-merged"? argparse introduced a change in an upload which should not make it to ubuntu oneiric
[21:05] <micahg> jtaylor: file a sponsorship request to have it blacklisted
[21:05] <micahg> jtaylor: how permanent is the need to not sync?  there shouldn't be any more auto syncs until P opens
[21:08] <jtaylor> depends on when the underlying issue is fixed, should probably be done before P
[21:08] <jtaylor> it would need merging currently, but marking somewhere that it should not be done yet would be nice
[21:09] <micahg> jtaylor: MoM would be the place for that, but there's not a lot of room to explain why
[21:10] <jtaylor> I probably can't add comments there
[21:10] <jtaylor> can someone comment, don't merge, would introduce problem in 793695
[21:11] <jtaylor> for package argparse
[21:11] <micahg> jtaylor: anyone can add a comment
[21:12] <micahg> jtaylor: done anyways
[21:13] <micahg> jtaylor: are you sure that's the correct bug #?
[21:14] <jtaylor> thx
[21:14] <jtaylor> it would probably introduce the same problem as in that bug
[21:15] <jtaylor> its the same problem foolscap had, I think you sponsored my fix for that in foolscap
[21:15] <jtaylor> argparse 1.2.1 added build-dependency on setuptools + dh_python2 => upgrade failure depending on file ordering in data.tar.gz in binary packages
[21:16] <jtaylor> due to egg file -> egg folder
[21:16] <micahg> k
[21:21] <jtaylor> will python 2.6 still be in oneiric?
[22:47] <ScottK> Depends on Debian
[22:47] <ScottK> jtaylor: ^^^
[22:48] <ScottK> jtaylor: The plan had been to wait for Debian to make 2.7 default before we dropped 2.6, but now that the Debian release team has dropped the 2.7 transition as a release goal, I doubt that makes sense.
[22:49] <jtaylor> is there so much stuff only running with 2.6?
[22:49] <broder> ScottK: I thought Debian release team dropped 2.7 as a "release goal", because it was too limited in scope
[22:49] <ScottK> Look at Debian 622279
[22:49] <ubottu> Debian bug 622279 in release.debian.org "transition: python-defaults (switching default: 2.6 -> 2.7)" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/622279
[22:49] <broder> maybe i misread the bits e-mail
[22:50] <DooMMasteR> hui
[22:50] <DooMMasteR> got my ubuntu down to 7,5sec boot time incl. XBMC startup :P
[22:51] <micahg> ScottK: wait, for wheezy they're sticking with 2.6? ugh
[22:51] <DooMMasteR> on an AMD E-350
[22:51] <ScottK> broder: It doesn't change the fact that it puts it on a "Meh, whenever" schedule since there's no mechanism for NMUs to ease the transition (unless, of course, I decided to just make 2.7 default and who cares what it breaks)
[22:51] <broder> ScottK: ah, i see
[22:51] <ScottK> micahg: No, they decided switching wasn't a release goal.  It doesn't mean the switch can't happen, just that something preventing it isn't RC.
[22:52] <ScottK> Now figure the odds of that.
[22:52] <micahg> well, it just means that we'll be driving most of the transition as I think regardless we're dropping 2.6 for P
[22:52] <ScottK> Yep.
[22:54] <slangasek> hmm, my understanding of release goal is "the release team blesses NMUing for this under the same rules as for RC bugs", not quite "this is RC"
[22:55] <slangasek> I think we could provide the necessary cover for NMUs without it being a release goal, too
[22:57] <slangasek> (though the release team deciding it's not a release goal is certainly not helpful here)
