pittiGood morning04:15
pittislangasek: 854622> I thought mvo reproduced it with a natty install and oneiric upgrade04:15
pittislangasek: anyway, seems you found the reason at last? I saw mvo's upload04:15
slangasekpitti: we never pinned down the exact source of the bug, but that's immaterial; we still need the oneiric package to fix up the wrong symlink, whenever it is that it broke04:20
pittiinfinity: I just released a new media-player-info with lots of new devices; this has a standing SRU exception as well, and is rather harmless05:05
pittiinfinity: do you mind if I upload it for oneiric now?05:05
pittior do you prefer an SRU at this point?05:05
pittiinfinity: it contains textual info about mp3 usb sticks to tell music players about their name, format, directory for music, etc.05:06

stgraberquite a lot of us are in both anyway, might as well merge them :)19:58
seb128well, sometime #ubuntu-desktop is too chatty for desktopers, i.e the number of cross conversations are hard to follow19:58
infinitydesktop bugs affect most developers, being able to jump in on those discussions without being in Yet Another Channel wouldn't hurt my feelings. :P19:58
seb128not sure we could have one channel and still keep it usable19:59
* infinity joins desktop anyway.19:59
kenvandinedesktop is fun!19:59
kenvandine:)19:59
infinitysiretart's going to hate me.20:00
infinityTwo rejects in a row for the same package.20:00
slangasekhonestly, my concern is that the development discussions are off in a separate channel which just ends up with duplicated / uncoordinated effort (like above)20:00
dokoone more person, does it make a difference ;-)20:00
dokoyes, same for -server20:01
slangasekyep20:01
seb128slangasek, realistically there is too much happening in Ubuntu to channel it on one channel and keep it usable20:01
slangasekI am unconvinced :)20:01
infinityMaybe.  But desktop stuff is so core to what everyone does.20:02
seb128there is also a part of those teams which have interest in the specific part the channel is about and probably wouldn't join discussion on #ubuntu-devel20:02
infinityIt's not quite like -installer, where 99% of the developers don't understand or care.20:02
seb128like we are quite friendly chatty there20:02
dokorealistically, I don't want to first chase down the channel, and the person20:02
seb128not sure I would feel right having those random jokes and chats on #ubuntu-devel20:02
dokojust address it one one channel20:02
infinityseb128: We joke randomly on -devel too.  You should visit sometime. :)20:02
seb128lol20:02
seb128doko, nobody ask you to chase desktop people down ;-)20:04
slangasekyes, you should set traps and wait for them to come to you20:05
slangasekjust, say, delete libnss - you'll catch them easily20:05
infinityI like the way you think.20:06
dokoslangasek, that did prove to work ;-P20:06
slangasek:-)20:06
infinitydoko: After doing such thing, though, you need to go hide in #ubuntu-undiscoverable, chat with yourself, and wait for them to show up.20:07
infinitys/thing/things/20:07
dokoinfinity, that's called #ubuntu-toolchain20:07
infinityOh, fair point.  I don't think I rejoined that after coming back.20:07
infinityNor #ubuntu-server.20:07
seb128see, it's not only -desktop :p20:07
infinityI haven't really missed either.20:07
dokothere is no #ubuntu-foundations20:08
infinityseb128: I don't know his it is today, maybe people actually use it, but back in The Day, #ubuntu-toolchain saw about one discussion a month.  :P20:08
seb128doko, right, that's #ubuntu-devel ;-)20:09
slangasekheh20:09
* infinity registers a consolidating-irc-channels spec.20:10
dokoseb128, no, it's not that funny if there is not one channel that anybody in distro joins20:10
seb128doko, distro people who are on #ubuntu-desktop are usually on #ubuntu-devel20:11
infinityBut I have a much better idea than just forcing some people to move to -devel, and others to do whatever.  I think we need to have two channels, #ubuntu-a-m and #ubuntu-n-z, and whatever letter your line starts with, that's the channel you send it to.20:11
seb128infinity, you can't put g and k in the same channel....20:12
infinityYou can learn to get along.20:12
seb128I will start to cry :p20:12
kenvandinelol20:13
dokog catches up with k20:13
seb128well nowadays we are on u, but still ;-)20:13
slangasekpff, it's the same point of articulation, merely a difference of voicing20:13
slangasek(we were talking about linguistics, weren't we?)20:13
kenvandineseb128, now it is g and q20:14
ScottKre consolidating ubuntu-desktop and -devel: Are you going to conslidate ubuntu-server, kubuntu-devel, etc in there too?20:16
ScottKThere are lots of developers that really don't care about Ubuntu the desktop.20:16
slangasekScottK: if I had my druthers20:24
ScottKHow about #ubuntu-motu?20:26
ScottKI guess if it's all of them, I think it's OK.20:27
slangaseksure20:27
slangasek(not that I can ever keep straight the current rationale for #ubuntu-motu being a separate channel, either)20:27
* micahg sees it as an opportunity for training w/out bothering in progress discussions20:28
ScottKOne could argue that could be done in #ubuntu-packaging.20:29
jbichalet's create a new IRC channel to discuss this issue!20:29
ScottKIn the current paradigm there's no particularly special role for MOTU in training new devs20:29
slangasekwhich is why I'm not sure why it's a distinct channel :)20:30
ScottKI think the channel and the ML can go away.20:30
ScottKBoth are not very active anymore anyway.20:31
micahgthe channel seems pretty active to me and the ML has been seeing more activity lately as well, but folding it in would be fine with me20:32
micahgit would stop the main/universe where do I go questions20:33
LaneyI quite like having a community around universe.20:37
* micahg likes that too20:43
ScottKIt's far less active than it used to be before $DECISION_MAKER decided try and kill of MOTU.20:44
Laneyindeed it is, and we have a disturbing lack of new people coming through, but I hope we can repair the damage over time20:47
highvoltageCould it perhaps also be that there is greater awareness now that new packages and bug fixes should rather be done in debian first?20:48
ScottKI think it's a feeling that there's less room for development contribution if you're !Canonical.20:49
ScottKAlso I think the user base has shifted over time.20:49
ScottKWe get a lot fewer breathless "Oh, must have latest $CRACK" FFes than we used to.20:50
highvoltageScottK: well, for some ubuntu-specific stuff that is true. but I don't think it applies at all to universe.20:50
ScottKhighvoltage: How well do people understand that from the outside?20:50
* micahg has tempered his "latest $CRACK" filings over time20:50
highvoltageScottK: good question.20:51
highvoltageScottK: I guess blogging about it would help to some degree. I'd be happy to do that if you could proof-read it to make sure it's all sane.20:52
highvoltageI also wish there were more information/communication about the archive re-org.20:54
slangasekI've switched from crack to ecstasy, personally20:57
infinityslangasek: But "I want the latest $X" can be a confusing statement.21:00
slangasekheh21:01
infinityI wonder if the mythbuntu folks would get angry about me co-opting their brand to make an always-broken flavour called methbuntu.21:01

stgraberinfinity: also make sure to daily sync from experimental and add the DX/desktop daily build PPA in there, that should be all you need for it21:03
Laneyare AAs still doing the sync queue?21:25
ScottKYes.21:26
ScottKcjwatson did it as recently as today or yesterday.21:26
Laneysounds good. Didn't know whether to ping or not; I'll leave it then.21:27
ScottKI'm going to push one more round of kdepim related changes.  It's mostly turning our git snapshots into 4.7.2 and one good bugfix.22:11
cjwatsonI did most of it, not quite all22:14
cjwatsonI think there were two I needed to check on - anyone want to comment on webkitkde?22:14
cjwatsonseemed rather FFE-worthy to me22:14
cjwatsonhighvoltage: quite honestly, I wish I'd never started with archive reorg and would rather forget about it than blog about it22:15
cjwatsonit seemed to make sense, and then turned into a couple of intertwined ghastly messes22:16
cjwatsonthe whole "MOTU is being killed off" meme was never my intention and I think has been a clear net negative22:17

jdstrandskaet: security review added to bug #83444222:32

skaetjdstrand,  ack.  thanks.22:33
jdstrandskaet: I'd like another member of the mir team to make the final decision22:34
jdstrandskaet: perhaps mterry since he did the initial packaging review and is familiar with it22:35
skaetjdstrand,  based on what you're seeing,  and the lateness,  it doesn't look good.   Yes, getting mterry's opinion on doing the split out would be good.22:36
jdstrandskaet: well, while I prefer the split, it wouldn't be the worst thing to get it in. I am new to the mir team and getting my feet wet wrt acceptance criteria22:37
slangasekstgraber: review requested for https://code.launchpad.net/~vorlon/ubiquity/lp.813065/+merge/78179, which fixes the bug for me22:37

slangasekok22:38
skaetthanks.  :)22:38
slangasekskaet, jdstrand: wasn't this meant to become an MIR *only* if the recommends on python-aeidon needed to be kept?  translate-toolkit itself has been in main forever22:41
slangaseknot that I object to you reviewing the security of the package, but it doesn't seem to be required by the MIR process :)22:41
* jdstrand scratches head22:43
jdstrandoh, I see, libreoffice doesn't need translate-toolkit any more22:44
jdstrandso if we wanted to keep it on its own, we needed the mir22:44
slangasek"the b-d should be removed, or the [python-aeidon] component mismatch (including further dependencies) should be addressed, and this report converted to a MIR.22:44
slangasek"22:44
slangasekmeaning an MIR *for python-aeidon*, not for translate-toolkit22:44
slangasekand per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/translate-toolkit/+bug/834442/comments/1, it is still needed for LibO22:45
ubot4Launchpad bug 834442 in translate-toolkit (Ubuntu Oneiric) (and 1 other project) "[MIR] translate-toolkit (affects: 3) (heat: 20)" [High,Confirmed]22:45
jdstrandwell, I guess this can be closed as the rdepends of translate-toolkit don't include python-aeidon22:46
jdstrandthat was an unfortunate title for the bug :\22:46
skaetindeed.   thanks jdstrand, slangasek.   glad that's sorted.22:47
slangasekjdstrand: well, Sweetshark evidently misunderstood what doko was asking, perhaps someone should clarify with him22:48
jdstrandand by 'rdepends', I of course meant 'depends' :P22:48
slangasek('MIR' wasn't in the original bug title)22:48
jdstrandno matter, it is all resolved now22:48
jdstrandI guess I can comment in the bug22:49
