cjwatsondebfx: could you mail me, please?12:52
tkamppeterOdyX, I have seen your mail about the problem of the source tarball not having a version number.12:52
OdyXtkamppeter: I noticed another problem too: the license is said to be "GPL", without versioning nor "or later" cause. This should really be clarified (with -2+ being preferred IMHO).12:52

pitticjwatson: when building an image with "ubuntu-defaults-image --components main,restricted,universe --locale zh_CN" I now get the ubuntu syslinux/gfxboot bits (thanks!), but booting fails with "/casper/vmlinuz: file not found"; indeed there's only /casper/vmlinux-3.0.0-8-generic14:30
pitticjwatson: do you know whether something should create an appropriate symlink there, or should the syslinux configuration be changed to the versioned one?14:30

cjwatsonpitti: yeah, I know, on my queue to look at, I don't know the answer yet14:32
cjwatsonneed to compare against the real images14:32
pitticjwatson: the real images actually have /casper/vmlinuz and /casper/initrd.lz, so I guess they should be renamed14:33
cjwatsonit would be best to match the real ones, yes.14:34
dobeypitti, cjwatson: ^^ can either of you tell me where ubuntuone-installer is at, and/or what i need to do with it? i can't find it in the queue :-/14:44
evdo we have a general practice for handling pipeline failures in dash scripts? I've tried something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/666566 , but it doesn't appear to be valid POSIX (works well enough in zsh).14:45
everr I copied that incorrectly14:46
evhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/66657114:47
cjwatsonev: it's a pain, but the approach you've taken should be valid POSIX, I think.  What's the error message?14:51
brodercjwatson: it looks like the ubuntu cds have EFI grub images on them. do you know where are those coming from? i don't see anything enlightening in ubuntu-cdimage or livecd-rootfs14:51
evcjwatson: syntax error: "}" unexpected (expecting ")")14:52
cjwatsonbroder: debian-installer builds them14:53
cjwatsonev: try (...) rather than {...; } then?14:53
cjwatsonit might not like { ...; } | ...14:53
cjwatsonactually I think I would take a marginally different tack anyway; let me construct it ...14:54
cjwatsonthe 2>&1 is bad14:55
evcjwatson: for what it's woth, I did try a subshell14:55

cjwatsonyou might even get away without the outer subshell, not sure14:59
cjwatsonprobably not14:59
dokoinfinity: if you do a ocaml test rebuild, please could you use the one from  the ubuntu-toolchain PPA?14:59
infinitydoko: I was planning on just re-uploading all the ocaml bits to the archive to take advantage of the current fix... Do we need the linker changes from the PPA as well?15:03
evcjwatson: works perfectly, thanks a bunch!15:03
infinitydoko: And if so, why have them in a PPA?15:03
dokoinfinity, well, then please merge it with the new version15:07
infinitydoko: Sure, happy to merge it with ocaml/jocaml before I re-transition armel.15:08

dobeywhat would be the best thing to override with plain dh (%: dh $@), for running regression tests?15:21
cjwatsondh_auto_test15:22
dobeywhen does that get run?15:26
cjwatsonyou can see the ordering if you read /usr/bin/dh and search for @bd15:26
cjwatsonit's immediately after dh_auto_build though, which generally corresponds to 'make' or './setup.py build' or that sort of thing15:27
dobeyah, after build and before install, ok15:27
tkamppeterOdyX, upstream of rastertosag-gdi is informed and I have renamed the upstream tarball to have the version number 0.1 as the Debian and Ubuntu packages. See http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?30,13489,14202#msg-14202.15:28
cjwatsondobey: or, 'dh --no-act binary' shows the complete sequence15:29
cjwatsonassuming a clean build tree15:29
infinitydoko: Is there a reason that patch drops --no-relax?15:30
dokoinfinity, does it? and if yes, we don't care about alpha15:31
dokoinfinity, join debian, they seem to care about alpha again ;p15:32
infinitydoko: Yeah, I suspect relax/no-relax are probably no-ops on most (all?) of our architectures anyway, but I was just curious if it was dropped intentionally.15:33
dobeycjwatson: thanks15:35
OdyXtkamppeter: great.15:37
OdyXtkamppeter: on my side, I put some thoughts (and code) on a pkg-printing-tools package that would feature a dh_cupsppdupdate to externalize the big postinst redundancy + eventually a dh_pyppd that would feature automatisation around pyppd + automated depends.15:39
tkamppeterOdyX, great, then this could all be reduced to a single line.15:41
OdyX… and reduced disk-space footprint, failure possibilities.15:42
infinitydoko: Oh, I was misreading the patch, didn't realise it was just passing no-relax on alpha.  Derp.  I'm only on my first coffee. ;)15:44
infinitydoko: Will merge, test, and upload today.15:44

cjwatsonthis may have changed due to python helper changes16:48
