[00:47] <cdunlap>  Quick question for anyone listening.
[00:48] <cdunlap> I know that I can use a package as a template.  Is there one in particular that is a good example to use or will pretty much any of them help me learn?
[00:49] <jbicha> look at packaging that is similar to what you're working on
[00:49] <jbicha> for instance if it's a GNOME app, look at other GNOME apps' packaging
[00:49] <jbicha> if it's Python, look at other Python packaging
[00:50] <cdunlap> Thank You jbicha.  That is a good rule of thumb.  I appreciate it
[10:13] <nonix4> Is the process for fixing regressions in universe packages caused by things like python-2.7(+) upgrade documented somewhere? As in assuming I'm using natty, howto for installing oneiric vm for devel as well etc? Bug #576504 seems trivially fixable for example.
[10:15] <jtaylor> tag python2.7 I think
[10:16] <jtaylor> fix looks simple so no special process should be required for oneiric for natty you need to follow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
[11:02] <jtaylor> barry: you know if there will be anything changed in python for http://bugs.python.org/issue10379, it seems one cannot fix it so it works in 2.6 and 2.7 without ugly hacks
[11:36] <jtaylor> ok only for the format-string + %% case, other cases work in 2.[67]
[13:56] <asogani> "bzr branch ubuntu:gnupg gnupg.dev" gives an error
[13:57] <asogani> "bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "/home/asogani/src/gnupg/ubuntu:gnupg/""
[13:58] <asogani> Could someone explain why? I'm an Ubuntu newbie trying to create a bzr branch by following http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/udd-getting-the-source.html#branching
[14:04] <sergio91pt> asogani, bzr thinks you're trying to branch a local branch called ubuntu:gnupg
[14:05] <Laney> use lp:ubuntu/gnupg
[14:05] <sergio91pt> do this instead: bzr branch lp:ubuntu/gnupg gnupg.dev
[14:07] <asogani> thanks Laney, sergio91pt !
[14:07] <asogani> maybe that webpage needs correction as well?
[14:37] <jtaylor> if you do the init-repo step as said on the page it works
[16:44] <hyperair> jacob: ping.
[16:45] <hyperair> jacob: i've recently tried using your business card template, but for some reason, inkscape refuses to print or export it to a non-bitmap format with the background intact. do you happen to know why?
[16:47] <jacob> hyperair: it's because the background is a mask, and inkscape doesn't know how to export that properly for other formats (or the other formats don't support them). I've had good experience with a PNG at 300 dpi for printing, though.
[16:47] <jacob> I'll see if there's any way to flatten that background to make that easier in any case.
[16:48] <hyperair> ah, i figured as much. for the gradient effect, eh?
[16:48] <hyperair> thanks for the info.
[16:48] <jacob> yeah. it was either gradients or masks (or both) that wouldn't export correctly
[16:51] <gilbert> what up ohio :)
[16:51] <jacob> yo gilbert
[16:58] <hyperair> jacob: aha, thanks for the information.
[16:59] <jacob> hyperair: no problem. i just checked to see if I could flatten out that background, but inkscape doesn't provide a way to permanently apply masks -- so i'd have to rasterize it, which would bring us back to square 1. :P
[17:00] <jacob> but in any case, you'll get a really high quality print by exporting at >= 300 dpi anyway
[17:00] <hyperair> jacob: yeah, i'll just have to deal with this anal printer.
[17:00] <jacob> :P
[17:01]  * hyperair sighs
[17:31] <hyperair> jacob: 01:07:28 <su-v> it's a known bug (mask is on a layer with a transform)
[17:31] <hyperair> 01:08:04 <su-v> create a new layer, move the dots (group in layer Background Grid) onto the new layer, save a copy as PDF
[18:10] <Q-FUNK> what do we mean by "unseeded fixes" ?
[22:05] <alkisg> I'm trying to find a python package that uses launchpad for translations, to see how it moves po/*.po to /usr/share/locale/*.
[22:05] <alkisg> I checked jockey first, but I didn't see any translation-related code... is that because it's in main, so its translations go to langpacks, so the maintainer didn't have to care about .po installation?
[22:14] <jbicha> alkisg: it might be automatic with setup.py and python-distutils-extra
[22:14] <alkisg> jbicha: thank you, that's probably it, reading...
[22:14] <jbicha> that's how we do it with gui-ufw, the install is nearly automatic
[22:15] <alkisg> I also just found a good non-python-distutils-extra tutorial in http://wiki.maemo.org/Internationalize_a_Python_application#Include_translations_in_your_installation
[22:16] <jbicha> distutils-extra will automate that, I don't know if there's a tutorial for it though
[22:17] <jbicha> it looks for files in certain locations and automatically puts them where they should go
[22:17]  * alkisg apt-get source's gui-ufw... :)
[22:20] <alkisg> Launchpad also pushes .mo files in the branch? Not just .po ?
[22:20] <jbicha> I don't know how Launchpad does translations yet
[22:21] <alkisg> I saw .mo files in the source of gui-ufw and I got confused :)
[22:38]  * alkisg wishes he had read about python-distutils-extra 2 days ago, sounds like it would have saved me a lot of work :)
