al-maisanhello there, how does one specify a dependency on package X >=1.5.0,<2.0.0 ?05:32
RhondaLike you wrote. :)05:35
mase_worklooks good to me05:35
al-maisanah, I see, thanks :)05:36
RhondaDepends X (>= 1.5.0Depends: wesnoth-1.9-core (>= 1:1.9.3-1), wesnoth-1.9-core (<< 1:1.9.3-1.~)05:36
Rhondableah :)05:37
RhondaDepends: wesnoth-1.9-core (>= 1:1.9.3-1), wesnoth-1.9-core (<< 1:1.9.3-1.~)05:37
al-maisanah, the package name needs to be repeated .. I see05:38
RhondaYes, that's pretty tight. But needed within Debian to allow binNMUs05:38
Rhondaal-maisan: the debian/rules magic for that is a fair bit weird05:38
al-maisanso, "Depends: python-dateutil (>= 1.5), python-dateutil (<< 2.0)" would be right?05:39
RhondaLooks good, yes05:40
al-maisangreat, thanks!05:40
RhondaI'd even use 2.0~05:40
al-maisanwhat is the effect of the '~'?05:40
Rhondato nog get troubles with pre releases05:40
RhondaLower than anything, even the empty string05:41
al-maisanok, will make use of it05:41
Rhondaso it is used eg for 2.0~rc1 to later be able to upgrade to 2.005:42
al-maisanah, I see05:42

pmjdebruijnI have a pacakge build failing because it can't find any kernel stuff in /boot08:13
pmjdebruijnany advice on dealing with this?08:13
pmjdebruijnI guess I could hack out the test08:14
pmjdebruijnbut then again I wonder how the package built on the original build farm? are they different from the ppa build farm?08:14
geserpmjdebruijn: it already skips those tests (Skipping /boot/initrd* tests. Could not find /boot/initrd*). The one that failed it before it: FAIL: daemon-conf08:19
geserpmjdebruijn: the official build skipped those initrd tests too but it also had a check for Ubuntu buildd for the failed one: Skipping valid config (Ubuntu buildd FTBFS)08:22
geseryou might need to check why it doesn't trigger for PPA builds08:22
pmjdebruijnoh08:32
pmjdebruijnright08:32
pmjdebruijnok08:32
pmjdebruijnthanks08:33
pmjdebruijngeser: crap it had a debian-changes-... patch affecting daemon-conf09:04
pmjdebruijnso I somehow broke it myself09:04

jtaylorit was approved but nothing uploaded, should I subscribe -release to the bugs now or will a sponsor have another look later?09:19
geserjtaylor: usually the SRU teams reviews from the upload queue, you need to find a sponsor for the upload09:23

Laneya sponsor needs to upload it as normal, yeah09:44
jtaylork I'll wait then09:45
jtaylorhm as they review from the upload queue how will bug 811721 be handled which is waiting for an approval before anything is uploaded?09:46

jtaylorI am waiting for a decision if I should backport it or instead do some version number patching09:50
geserjtaylor: I'd suggest to try to reach them on IRC instead of waiting on a comment in the bug09:58
jtaylorgeser: do they have an irc channel or do I just ask in -devel/privmsg?10:08

al-maisanHmm .. a package of mine failed to build with "Found files in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (must be in dist-packages for python2.7)."14:55
al-maisanAny idea what that means and how it should be fixed?14:56
al-maisanThis is the build log: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/78180839/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-i386.python-dateutil_1.5-3_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz14:56
* al-maisan looks at the MANIFEST.in14:58
jtayloral-maisan: pass --install-layout=deb to setup.py install14:59
al-maisando I need to override some target in rules to do that?14:59
jtaylorit appears it is already overriden15:01
jtaylordh_auto_install usually does it right15:01
jtayloryou aren't using python packaging helpers?15:01
al-maisanI do not see "--install-layout=deb" being passed in the build log though15:01
jtayloryes its missing15:02
al-maisanjtaylor: I did a dh_make and used the debian/rules it generated ..15:02
jtayloradd --with python2 to the dh $@ line15:02
al-maisanah, ok, will try that, thanks!15:03
tumbleweedal-maisan: is there a Makefile in that source?  it looks like you may want to pass dh --buildsystem=python_distutils15:04
al-maisantumbleweed: actually there is one, http://paste.ubuntu.com/675313/15:05
tumbleweedyeah, so tell dh not to use it :)15:06
al-maisan.. or remove it?15:06
=== dupondje_ is now known as dupondje
al-maisanjtaylor, tumbleweed : thank you very much for your help !15:08
tumbleweedal-maisan: yeah you could remove it, but you need to be sure you do that before dh tries to work out what buildsystem to use, which gets tricky15:08
al-maisanhmm .. I see .. I will give it a try and see how it goes .. thanks again!15:09
jtaylorpassing --buildsystem works fine though15:10
al-maisanok15:10
jtaylorI have a pacakge where I use distutils for most and a makefile for tests ^^15:10
al-maisanah, I see .. will use "--buildsystem=python_distutils" then15:10

DavieyI'm not on crack am I?  http://pb.daviey.com/ieni/ is 3 clause BSD, right?18:49
broderDaviey: it matches the 3-clause license on wikipedia :)18:52
Daviey$ licensecheck lcptools/readpol.c18:52
Davieylcptools/readpol.c: BSD (2 clause)18:52
Davieygo figure :/18:52
DavieyISTR reading about someone else encountering that issue.18:52
RhondaThe issue is this:18:58
Rhondaelsif ($licensetext =~ /(The name of .*? may not|Neither the names? of .*? nor the names of (its|their) contributors may) be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software/i18:58
broderis it just not matching across the newline/asterisk?18:59
Rhondano19:00
RhondaThe missing "of" infront of Intel Corporation is the issue19:00
RhondaAdd a "of" infront of intel in that file, run licensecheck on it again, and see19:00
RhondaI would guess that the of should be left off in the match19:01
DavieyYeah, that isn't a patch i'll be carrying.19:01
Daviey:)19:01
broderor /(The name (of )?.*? may not|Neither the names? (of )?.*? etc, etc19:01
Rhondas/of // in that line isn't a patch you would like to submit to licensecheck?19:01
Rhondabroder: That makes no sense.19:01
broderchange the regex to deal with the absence of the "of"19:02
Rhonda(of )? directly infront of .*? is … "irrelevant", as seven-of-nine would say.19:02
broderha. good point19:02
Rhonda.*? itself would deal with that already.19:02
RhondaSo strip the of off (hah)19:03

hakermaniasladen, Hello again, what about my next move now :) ?21:50
sladenhakermania: you want your (now approved package) uploading21:50
hakermaniasladen, by who?21:51
sladenwell probably by me21:51
micahgsladen: yep, it's all you :)21:52
hakermaniaheh, thanks if you do so21:52
sladenmicahg: remind me, are we allowed to sponsor new packages to Universe after FF /21:53
micahgsladen: if there's an FFe granter21:53
micahg*granted21:53
* micahg doesn't know where the FFE bug is, hakermania?21:55
sladenmicahg: mmm, technically I'm not sure a wallpaper changer is essential, so probably doesn't deserve one :(21:55
micahgsladen: I think it was already granted21:56
micahgthis was the second cycle hakermania has tried to get it in21:56
sladenhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/82410221:57
ubottuLaunchpad bug 824102 in Ubuntu "FFE: Wallch 2.0" [Undecided,Confirmed]21:57
hakermaniamicahg: sladen, thanks21:58
hakermaniaYes it is already granted :D21:58
hakermaniaLaney, ;)21:59
hakermaniabut the Kate Stewart who replied the request confused me a bit, (s)he was probably wrong21:59
micahghakermania: she's the release manager ;)22:02
micahgsladen: ah, the FFe is conditional on finding an AA who's gulli^H^H^H^H^Hkind enough to review it22:03
sladenmicahg: hakermania suckered me into that yesterday22:04
sladenmicahg: so by my (optimistic reading), that means we're good to go, right :)22:04
micahgsladen: I think the uploader needs to find the AA that's willing to review it :)22:05
micahghakermania: I think she was missing that it's a new package with no dependencies22:05
hakermaniaNice, what's an AA?22:05
micahghakermania: archive admin22:05
hakermaniaaha, are there multiple ones around :D ?22:06
micahgprobably not on a Friday afternoon/evening22:06
Davieyhakermania: Wait, are you trying to get wallch installed by default?22:06
hakermaniaDaviey, no, absolutely not22:06
Davieygood stuff22:07
ScottKmicahg: I don't think she was missing that.  One of the main reasons not to continue to allow a steady stream of new packages into the archive late in the cycle is the archive-admins generally need to be busy with other stuff.22:10
ScottKSo "If someone has time to review it" is a reasonable basis for an FFe approval.22:10
hakermaniaScottK, I think that nobody disagrees with this22:12
sladenScottK: so, happy to NEW it if I upload?22:13
ScottKsladen: No.  Busy with other things.22:14
hakermaniaIs ScottK an AA?22:15
Davieyhakermania: wow, you've had a pretty drawn out process trying to get it in the archive.22:15
hakermaniaDaviey, I know :'(22:16
hakermanialol22:16
hakermaniaDaviey, there are also 1.0 tries in there... Being a complete newbie in pacaging and with a brief knowledge of english it isn't so easy :P22:17
Davieyhakermania: good effort on your perseverance, sorry it's been such a challenge.22:18
hakermaniaDaviey, sorry? I'm glad that the system is so strict22:18
hakermaniasladen, thanks for the comment, can you please tell me some AA to kindly ask them for marking wallch as 'NEW' (if I got it right)22:22
Davieyhakermania: The issue is that archive admins need to review the package, and as we are in a beta freeze - they are mostly tied up with more pressing tasks.  It's not just a case of them hitting approve.22:25
hakermaniaDaviey, I got it, what do you suggest22:26
hakermania?22:26
Davieyhakermania: either get it in Debian or see if you have more success on Monday.22:35
sladenhakermania: I have passed a small anonymous brown paper bag to an archive admin on your behalf22:37
hakermaniasladen, containing money :P ?22:39
hakermaniaDaviey, thanks for the suggestion by I don't think that it's applicable, with so many uploads to REVU each one separately containing hours of searching on the net, I think it deserves going through ubuntu now that's finally OK. It is designed to work on ubuntu better, after all22:40
hakermaniasladen, thanks whatever you do(or did) :D Goodnight23:01
micahgScottK: Laney made the conditional approval on AA time, did I say anything contrary to that?23:03
ScottKmicahg: I should have directed that at hakermania.  Sorry.23:04
micahgScottK: no problem :)23:05
