Rhondacjwatson: thanks :D10:15
* cjwatson processes queues ... eventually10:16
Laneythis is the uk, we likes a good queue over here10:21
Rhondasure, because queueing means crowd means less cold wind directly around you10:24
* Rhonda shivers when looking outside, and I'm in vienna10:25
cjwatsonit's quite nice out at the moment actually10:30
cjwatsonor it was yesterday anyway, haven't been out yet today :)10:30
Laneygloves, no hat, improvement on the end of last week10:31

Rhondayeah, the cold season always comes unexpected, year after year10:34
RhondaTotal by surprise, snow starts falling and the street cleaning companies aren't prepared at all.10:34
Rhonda"same procedure as every year"10:35

tumbleweedarand: everything that hasn't been modified in Ubuntu has been auto-synced from testing. Everything else needs to be done by hand11:15
arandtumbleweed: Including new packages?11:16
tumbleweedyeah, those also need manual review11:16
cjwatsonI've synced a lot of new packages11:17
cjwatsonthere are some left; ask me if you have specific requests11:17
* StevenK gets mail-bombed by cjwatson.11:21
cjwatson?11:21
StevenKcjwatson: I'm subscribed to ubuntu-archive11:21
cjwatsonah, right11:21
arandOk, I may do some further poking in Debian before requesting a sync, (fix game fullscreening and trapping user), before requesting sync. Thanks for the info!, I wasn't sure how things went.11:23
tumbleweedarand: once it's in, it'll continue to automatically sync until Debian Import Freeze11:25
arandAh, right, well if you have the time to sync "lugaru"... I'll just file a sync request otherwise, being a game it may not be the highest priority :)11:38
cjwatsonarand: lugaru isn't in testing11:42
cjwatsonoh, wait, it is, contrib11:42
arandYeah, it's one of these contrib/non-free things11:43
arandlugaru-data being in non-free due to non-commercial restrictions.11:44

koolhead17hello all14:05
koolhead17i am following a pkgupdate guide and am stuff with this error when i run debuild -S -sa  http://paste.ubuntu.com/717854/  help would be appriciated14:08
cjwatsonkoolhead17: I'm guessing, but perhaps you need to install (and build-depend on) libtool14:13
koolhead17cjwatson: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/HandsOn am following this14:13
cjwatsonI don't need to know that14:14
cjwatsonunless the specific package you're working on is named there14:14
* koolhead17 installs libtool14:14
koolhead17cjwatson: so dependency will differ per pkg?14:15
cjwatsonyes14:16
cjwatson'sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGENAME' gets you all its build-dependencies14:16
cjwatsonusually you don't need those just to build a source package (-S), but now and again you need some of them14:17
cjwatsonwell, at least you usually don't need them *all* - debhelper, autoconf, automake, libtool, cdbs, autotools-dev, quilt are commonly-required ones14:18
koolhead17cjwatson: thanks. am installing all the deps to be on safer side14:20
micahgif the package isn't in the archive or has new dependencies, you can use sudo mk-build-deps -i -r14:23
koolhead17micahg: i pulled pkg from launchpad and making changed to it so it will not have dep issue now14:24
koolhead17cjwatson: micahg thanks!! Its getting build!1 :)14:38

koolhead17Laney: :P14:43
micahg\o/ talk about fast turnaround  :)14:44
stgraberok, that seems to work :)14:44
koolhead17i also need to have "Could not find a signing program (pgp or gpg)! " :D14:45
=== med_out is now known as medberry
tumbleweedkoolhead17: that's not necessary for building, just uploading14:46
tumbleweeddebuild's -uc -us options turn off signing (which make building a lot less annoying :P14:47
koolhead17tumbleweed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/717883/14:47
koolhead17ooh ok14:47
koolhead17:P14:47
* Laney has that in DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS14:48
koolhead17tumbleweed: debuild -S -sa am using currently14:48
Laneycjwatson: do your backport scripts handle backports from other pockets? (-security)14:49
* Laney wonders if broder managed to write that script14:49
koolhead17tumbleweed: debuild -S  -uc -us will do it for me?14:49
jdstrandhe did not as of a week or two ago14:49
jdstrandLaney: ^14:49
tumbleweedkoolhead17: if you need -sa, include it14:50
Laneyah ok14:50
* Laney further wonders if jdstrand has a highlight on "security" :P14:50
cjwatsonLaney: should do, yes14:50
cjwatsonLaney: most of the logic is in lp:ubuntu-archive-tools backport.py14:50
Laneyrighto14:50
jdstrandI'll never tell14:50
cjwatson    elif '-' in options.fromsuite:14:50
cjwatson        options.fromseries, options.frompocket = options.fromsuite.split('-', 1)14:50
cjwatson        options.fromseries = options.fromdistro.getSeries(14:50
cjwatson            name_or_version=options.fromseries)14:50
cjwatson        options.frompocket = options.frompocket.title()14:50
koolhead17tumbleweed: but that results into asking 4 gnupg which i dont want14:50
cjwatsonI think you must be confusing -sa with either -uc or -us14:51
tumbleweedkoolhead17: -sa is unrelated, it means you want to include the .orig.tar.gz in the changes file14:51
koolhead17tumbleweed: ok.14:52
* koolhead17 read man page soon. :)14:52
Laneydholbach: can you accept blueprints for uds-p? https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-p-developer-application-processes15:09

* tumbleweed is guessing there isn't enough interest in a "what to do about motu" session? (ok, interest isn't the right idea, but possible input that could be discussed in a UDS session)15:15
* Laney force-subscribes everyone else15:15
Laneytumbleweed: pub session15:15
tumbleweedLaney: yeah that happens anyway :)15:15
LaneyI suspect the crowd for such a session would be smaller than it might have been previously :(15:15
tumbleweedin fact, I think it was the first think both ScottK and persia asked me when I first met them15:15
tumbleweeds/think/thing/15:16
ScottKCall it a MOTU BOF session.15:16
ScottKTry and get interested people together and see where it goes.15:16
ScottKThis was good for the backports sessions that last few UDS.15:16
tumbleweedthat works15:18
LaneyAs long as the leader doesn't let it turn into a hand wringing session15:18
Laneyalso, unicode problems when I try to write the lp-udd output to a file15:18
* tumbleweed clearly isn't good at achieving that15:18
Laneypython will be the death of me15:18
tumbleweedLaney: you have to specifically encode it (or open your file with the open from codecs)15:19
Laneyi have .encode('utf-8')15:19
Laneylet me try that codecs thingy15:20
tumbleweedit's equivalent15:20
tumbleweedcan I see source & exception?15:21
Laneyi put unicode() round stuff15:21
Laneyyeah ok15:21
Laneyhttp://paste.debian.net/139446/ http://paste.debian.net/139447/15:23
Laneyi was going to implement some way of not opening and closing the file every time if that worked15:23
tumbleweedwell, I proposed https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-p-motu-bof I'll try and think of some things for us to discuss if it looks like it's heading towards hand wringing15:23
Laneyrock15:23
tumbleweedLaney: you can't print unicode objects unless you are in a UTF-8 locale and running in a terminal (yes that last thing is insanely unexpected)15:24
Laneyi only added that unicode() stuff because it broke15:24
Laneywhat do i need to do instead? :(15:24
tumbleweedthat tprint is substituting byte strings into a unicode string, and thus it's unicode15:24
tumbleweedeither explicitly encode all output, or tell python that the stdout encoding is UTF-8, no matter what15:25
Laneyi thought .encode was me telling it that15:25
tumbleweedyes, but then you substituted it into a unicode string15:26
Laneyso I can remove the u?15:26
tumbleweedyes15:26
Laneythis scares me15:27
Laneytumbleweed: worked, cheers!15:34

micahgScottK: thanks15:42
stevecrozzhow can I tell pdebuild to build source-only (like debuild -S)?15:52
yofelstevecrozz: from what I know there is no point in running pdebuild for source packages15:56
yofeljust run debuild15:56
stevecrozzyofel, this is for building a package for a distribution other than the one on my running system15:57
yofelwell,  pdebuild is about building binary packages. for the source-only part it simply runs debuild15:57
cjwatsonIn the fully general case you need to build source packages on the same distribution; but in very many cases (I'd say the vast majority) you can get away with building them on more or less any vaguely current Debian or Ubuntu system.16:00
cjwatsonSometimes you need the odd extra build-dep.16:00
Laneywas https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2011-October/000715.html a copyPackage sync?16:01
Laneyit has spph.creator and yet a changesfile?16:01
Laneyoh, bah, yo ucan get that for manual uploads too16:02
tumbleweedhow?16:02
Laneydunno, but I checked on a dputted one I did and it has .creator16:03
tumbleweedhrm, the changes file wasn't signed. AA sync?16:03
* Laney checks bugs16:03
tumbleweedat any rate, *someone* did something wrong with it16:04
Laneyyeah there it is16:04
cjwatsonI did that with sync-source.py16:04
Laneywas just looking at the massive Closes: list16:04
cjwatsonthat's because it was a reintroduction16:05
cjwatsonso sync-source built a .changes with the equivalent of dpkg-genchanges -v016:05
Laneyyep16:05
cjwatsonbut that was the only unusual thing about it; I'm not aware of having done anything wrong16:05
tumbleweedah, no that's probably right, didn't realise it was a reintruduction16:05
LaneyI just expected it to have -v<version that was deleted>16:06
* tumbleweed wonders what a native sync would do in that situation16:06
Laneythe main argh is that I can't rely on .creator like I thought I could16:06
koolhead17Riddell: how are you?16:07
Laneyoh well16:07
tumbleweedwgrant: I thought .creator was *only* for syncs?16:07

micahgoh, hmm, thought I read that page already17:41
achiangmicahg: actually, it seems that using -Os might work17:42
c_kornhello, how can I debug DBUS? I have the problem if I open gedit with the dash and then run "gedit file" in the gnome-terminal that "file" gets opened in a new instance of gedit and not in a tab of the process I opened with dash before. and the gedit debug tells me "(gedit_dbus_run)" this is why I assume some problem inside of DBUS17:42
koolhead11cjwatson: got few minutes17:42
micahgachiang: ok, I'll have to come back to this later, thanks for the help17:43
achiangmicahg: i think that is the first step, try -Os instead of -O2 or -O117:43
