[00:47] <slangasek> infinity, micahg: so I suppose these tzdata packages are built now and ought to be published; are we doing any verification on them?
[01:18] <infinity> slangasek: I did a quick test to make sure things looked sane.
[01:18] <infinity> slangasek: Not on every release, but they were all identical changes.
[01:41] <slangasek> infinity: ok, copying
[01:44] <slangasek> infinity, micahg: tzdata published
[04:00] <pipalo> Good time everyone!
[04:01] <pipalo> Can i get some help with this error http://mysticpaste.com/view/10459 - Patching xorg on 11.10 works fine on 11.04
[04:02] <pipalo> !help
[04:02] <pipalo> !patience
[04:35] <ome> net probe. anyhelp with http://mysticpaste.com/view/10459 ?
[04:42] <cjwatson> well, the patch just needs to be adjusted to apply against the new source; that's normal for patches
[04:44] <cjwatson> oh, but you're building the xorg source package?  that's odd, xorg didn't fail to build from source in 11.10.  perhaps a more complete transcript of what you're doing would help.
[04:45] <cjwatson> (including how you got the source package.)
[04:46] <ome> cjwatson, here is what I am doing http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2011/05/24/better-clickpad-support-for-ubuntu-11-04/
[04:48] <cjwatson> I don't want to pick through that - please show me a full transcript of just exactly what you are doing
[04:48] <cjwatson> from the start including error messages
[04:49] <cjwatson> oh, you're adding a patch to the source package, from the looks of that
[04:49] <cjwatson> then my previous comment stands, this isn't a procedure that can be performed for an arbitrary release without editing the patch
[04:51] <cjwatson> if you don't know how to do that, then it's best to ask the patch author
[04:52] <ome> I am not an expert but know a bit of programming and how stuff works under the hood.
[04:52] <ome> but I am not sure what that error suggests, I know there is something wrong with a config file but not sure what to look for.
[04:54] <cjwatson> no, the problem is that this is a patch for a different version of the software
[04:54] <cjwatson> it requires a developer to update it
[04:54] <ome> aight then, thanks for help.
[04:54] <cjwatson> (I had a quick look, and while the fix to 203 is simple, there are several other changes required to subsequent patches as well)
[04:56] <cjwatson> (and I'm not remotely confident that me doing a monkey-see-monkey-do patch refresh is going to result in a working synaptics driver)
[04:57] <cjwatson> you can learn how patches work if you like and try to update it yourself; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff#Unified_format
[04:58] <ome> thanks cjwatson I will have a look.
[12:39] <madnick> A virtual keyboard at the LightDM greeter would improve accessability, is anyone working on this for Ubuntu?
[14:59] <gs_> hello all
[14:59] <gs_> i am interested in writing system restore program for ubuntu
[14:59] <gs_> this will be able to restore the package state
[15:00] <gs_> of the system to an earlier saved state
[15:03] <gs_> for that I need to scan package metadata of those packages which are installed on the system
[15:03] <gs_> could you please help me in doing that ?
[16:54] <sladen> gs_: you want the APT/Dpkg metadata
[16:55] <sladen> gs_: dpkg --get-selections   and   dpkg --set-selections   should get you started
[17:03] <broder> gs_: you may also want to look at apt-btrfs-snapshot
[17:38] <jtaylor> or apt-clone (not the one in the repository)
[17:47] <shnatsel> hi everyone
[17:47] <shnatsel> I've just dropped by to say thanks
[17:47] <shnatsel> Thank you so much for providing ubuntu-core archives, guys!
[17:48] <shnatsel> that makes my life so much easier!
