[03:37] <ryoohki> i'm ttrying to build a package on x86_64 that says it needs to be built on ppc =>
[03:37] <ryoohki> "This package must be built on a PowerPC machine"
[03:37] <ryoohki> pbuilder-dist natty build openbios-ppc_1.0+svn640-1.dsc"
[03:41] <micahg> ryoohki: hmm, it seems to think it needs that..
[03:41] <RAOF> ryoohki: Time to investigate the wonderful world of virtualisation, methinks.
[03:41] <micahg> we have the same problem on our builders: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/78736775/buildlog_ubuntu-oneiric-i386.openbios-ppc_1.0%2Bsvn1018-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
[03:42] <RAOF> If you've got qemu-user-static installed you should be able to just ask sbuild or pbuilder to set up a PPC chroot for you.
[03:43] <StevenK> And it's arch: all. Fail.
[03:43] <RAOF> micahg: Sounds like it needs to go into packages-arch-specific?
[03:43] <micahg> according to bug 756068, it needs to be built on powerpc, but remain arch all
[03:43] <StevenK> RAOF: Not when it's arch-indep, it doesn't
[03:44] <RAOF> StevenK: There are a couple of things that are arch-indep but must be built on a specific arch; how do we handle them if not p-a-s?
[03:47] <ryoohki> aah!  thanks!
[03:48] <ryoohki> p-a-s?
[03:48] <StevenK> Packages-arch-specific
[03:57] <ryoohki> StevenK: thanks!
[03:59] <StevenK> However, I feel adding openbios-ppc to p-a-s and then asking LP to built it as arch-indep will just end up with LP complaining the build is for no architectures.
[04:00] <micahg> StevenK: I think that's why Colin won't fixed that bug for oneiric :)
[07:06] <dholbach> good morning
[10:06] <bdrung> Laney: really? you have to backport distro-info, devscripts too
[10:06] <bdrung> tumbleweed: no ;)
[10:07] <Laney> mainly want the new syncpackage
[10:09] <bdrung> Laney: then use https://launchpad.net/~udt-developers/+archive/daily
[10:09] <bdrung> Laney: see how many packages needed a backport for working on natty?
[10:15]  * Laney shrugs
[10:15] <Laney> as you wish
[10:45] <bdrung> Laney: that's because we moved a big bunch of scripts
[18:47] <jtaylor> ScottK: was python-central set to automatically installed when you tested it for bug 856458?
[18:47] <ScottK> jtaylor: Not sure.
[18:48] <ScottK> I certainly wouldn't have manually installed it, but that doesn't necessarily relate to how it was marked.
[18:50] <ScottK> That particular server is now python-support free too.
[18:51] <jtaylor> nice
[18:51] <jtaylor> can't remove central on my desktop yet :(
[18:52] <Laney> is Ubuntu much further than Debian on this?
[18:52]  * Laney has zillions of things depending on both
[18:52] <jtaylor> a bit
[18:53] <jtaylor> ubuntu main is -support free
[18:53] <Laney> I guess a lot of them wouldn't be on a server
[18:53] <ScottK> jtaylor: No.
[18:53] <jtaylor> thanks to barry's efforts
[18:53] <jtaylor> not main
[18:53] <ScottK> There's stuff in Main that's not on CDs
[18:53] <jtaylor> cd dvd I meant
[18:53] <ScottK> Right on CD != Main
[18:53] <jtaylor> yes
[18:53] <jtaylor> just confus it while typing :/
[19:07] <jbicha> hmm, gwibber still uses python-support
[19:08] <micahg> yep, only xubuntu is without python-support ATM
[19:11] <jtaylor> :O was something missing when fixing bug 788514?
[22:58] <ScottK> I wish there was a tool I cool feed it two package names and get the intersection of the rdepends of one and the depends of the other.
[22:59] <ScottK> i.e. feed if python-support and ubuntu-desktop and get the answer to this question.
[23:01] <broder> ScottK: aptitude?
[23:01] <broder> aptitude search '~D^python-support$~R^ubuntu-desktop$', i think
[23:01] <broder> (that might be backwards)
[23:02] <broder> though i guess you probably want recursive rdepends/depends, which that won't get you
[23:02] <ScottK> Yes.
[23:08] <ScottK> micahg: No python-support on Kubuntu CDs either.
