verwilsthttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dovecot-antispam/+bug/49416212:12
ubottuLaunchpad bug 494162 in dovecot-antispam (Ubuntu) "Incompatible filter on amd64 (lucid)" [Undecided,Confirmed]12:12
verwilstall it takes is a simple recompile of this tiny package to solve it12:12
verwilstit probably took longer to confirm this bugreport 2 years ago then to just recompile it ;)12:13
jtaylorthe few motu members can't check up on every package, to get some attention its best to follow  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates and subscribe ubuntu-sponsors12:16
jtayloror show up here and request help12:16
jtaylorverwilst: can you provide step by step instructions to reproduce it?12:19
verwilstjtaylor, fair enough12:27

genjixhey, i've packaged 2 libraries15:58
genjixhow do i get them into universe?15:58
brodergenjix: we try to get all of our new packages through debian. have you considered going through them? http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers is probably a good place to start if you're interested in that16:52
genjixok16:53
broder(we can still help you with that, and we can help you get your packages into ubuntu once debian has accepted them, but our processes are optimized for that)16:54
genjixsure.16:54
genjixok my package is for a library which isn't mature yet and is using git committish numbers16:55
genjixshould i wait until formal number releases, or is going for debian package good now?16:55
genjixatm they're in my ppa16:55
broderwhat sort of library is this? a c library?16:56
genjixc++ library16:56
genjixactually 2 of them16:56
broderok. in that case i would personally be looking for some amount of API and ABI stability, because API/ABI breaks have to be dealt with in packaging, and i wouldn't want to start a package's lifecycle with a bunch of those16:58
genjixright ok.16:58
broderhave you read http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html ? if you haven't, it would likely be a good read in terms of understanding what we expect from shared libraries at the packaging level17:00
genjixaha great. thanks for the link17:01
genjixuseful17:01
brodergenjix: hmm...i don't know that policy explicitly discusses what a soname is or when you need to change it. http://www.gnu.org/s/libtool/manual/html_node/Updating-version-info.html might help fill in the gaps. the version part of the soname comes from the "current" field17:10
genjixso i guess i'll just stick it in the ppa for now until there is a stable abi17:23
stlsaintwere there previeous discussions about being able to get individual package upload rights?21:17

PiciI'll find someone who does...21:28
Laneycheers21:28
stlsaintLaney: so the pacakage must be sponsored by MOTU then we are able to aid in upload/management with that motu as ppu applicants21:30
Laneystlsaint: ppu don't need sponsoring, but before you get that you do21:30
stlsaintLaney: need sponsoring for the package?21:32
