bbigras__What rights are required to upload a package to natty-proposed?03:50
micahgbbigras__: upload right to the package in natty03:54
micahg*rights03:54
bbigras__micahg: thanks03:55
micahgbbigras__: need anything sponsored?04:07
bbigras__micahg: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lfm/+bug/786491 I just wonder if my patch does too much. I think the only proble is with the "mtime2" line. Also it seems the bug affects both natty and lucid.04:08
ubottuUbuntu bug 786491 in lfm (Ubuntu) "lfm crashes at startup, because of UnicodeDecodeError" [Undecided,Confirmed]04:08
bbigras__micahg: The bug is fixed in Oneiric.04:11
micahgbbigras__: is that enough to fix it?04:12
micahgah, you got both pieces, nm04:12
micahgbbigras__: upstream did the fix, just add dep-3 headers and I think you're good, have you confirmed that fixes the crash?04:14
bbigras__micahg: Yes it fixes the crash on my side. How do you add dep-3 headers?04:18
micahgbbigras__: dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/04:20
bbigras__micahg: Is the dep-3 headers required for Ubuntu or to send to Debian or both?04:23
micahgbbigras__: we like them in Ubuntu, it helps keep track of where stuff comes from04:23
bbigras__micahg: Ok thanks. One last thing, can I also attach a patch for Lucid on the same bug report or I should open another one?04:25
micahgbbigras__: same report is fine, should go in maverick as well in that case04:29
bbigras__micahg: ok thanks!04:29
micahgbbigras__: is there a bug confirming this in maverick and lucid as well, I'll add a task for natty now04:30
bbigras__micahg: There's only one bug. The guy had Lucid. I reproduced it on Natty.04:31
micahgbbigras__: that bug says natty :)04:32
bbigras__micahg: oh sorry I was confused by "InstallationMedia". I think it doesn't affects Lucid since I can't reproduce the bug with 2.1 from mercurial. Maverick should be affected since it has the same version as Natty.04:38
micahgbbigras__: sounds good, BTW, you'll need to adjust the changelog version for multiple releases (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update_the_packaging (look at the blue box)04:39
bbigras__micahg: ok thanks04:44
micahgbbigras__: thank you for the fix :), please subscribe ubuntu-sponsors when you're done04:45
bbigras__micahg: Is it possible that you send me the wrong link? I don't see the blue box at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update_the_packaging04:51
micahgbbigras__: oh, sorry, whatever color the box with the versions is :)04:52
bbigras__micahg: By "adjust the changelog version for multiple releases" do you mean I need to append ~maverick in the maverick changelog since both chanlogs can't have the same version or that I can have one changelog for both release?05:38
micahgbbigras__: use $VERSION.0.XX.YY.1 where XX.YY is the release number05:40
micahgoops05:40
micahgthat should be $VERSIONubuntu0.XX.YY.105:40
bbigras__micahg: I see, thanks.05:41
micahgcan anyone actually get mk-build-deps -ir work?06:50
thelinuxer1hi, i am trying to  requestsync a package I built in Debian unstable. http://packages.debian.org/sid/gdigi13:39
thelinuxer1I use the following command: requestsync --lp -s -d sid gdigi13:39
thelinuxer1and get this error E: The package 'gdigi' does not exist in the Debian primary archive in 'sid'13:40
thelinuxer1I event tried running the code requestsync uses to get the source package and it gets the package information correctly13:41
geserthelinuxer1: requestsync --lp uses the Launchpad "mirror" of Debian which is undergoing some changes currently (more precisely the script doing the mirroring)13:42
geserit looks like the LP Debian mirror doesn't know gdigi yet13:43
geserdid you look at the code which uses LP API (--lp) or rmadison only (default)?13:44
geserand btw: we are in FeatureFreeze currently which means no new packages (unless you have an exception)13:45
thelinuxer1geser: i was going to just request the sync now. Don't really care when it will be synced :)13:45
thelinuxer1no i haven't checked the lp api and rmadison code13:46
geserwe will autosync at the start of the next development cycle13:46
thelinuxer1i just want to make sure that i am not doing anything wrong13:46
geserno need to file a sync request if it shouldn't happen now13:46
thelinuxer1geser: ok gr8, thank u13:46
thelinuxer1geser: and i will still be the maintainer on ubuntu ?13:47
geseryou can be (but there is no Maintainer-lock in Ubuntu as in Debian). You can maintain your package in Debian and sync it to Ubuntu (preferred), get your uploads sponsored to Ubuntu (e.g. Ubuntu-specific changes which don't apply for Debian) and get upload rights for your package(s) (PerPackageUpload (PPU) rights) if you want13:50
geserthelinuxer1: if you have any questions about Ubuntu processes feel free to ask13:55
thelinuxer1geser: I chose the first path as it was mentioned in REVU wiki page. I guess what ur saying is that I will do all the work on debian side, and then it's pulled into ubuntu automatically.14:03
thelinuxer1so no work from my side in ubuntu's side14:04
geserthelinuxer1: yes, you might need to file a sync request as we only automatically sync packages from Debian in the first few weeks of a development cycle, after that and till FeatureFreeze syncs only happen if someone requested them14:06
thelinuxer1i guess i will wait as I don't think I will able to get an exception for this package ...14:08
geserit's very unlikely to get an exception for a new package at this time (we want to release end of October). Expect to see your package get synced early November (it takes a couple days after release till the archive set up and the new toolchain uploaded)14:21
thelinuxer1geser: thanks for your help :)14:24
