Andy80hi all15:59
Andy80where can I find informations/tutorials about splitting something in multiple packages? (for example: foo, foo-docs, foo-libs, foo-data ecc....). I've given a look at the official packaging documentation but it looks like this thing is not covered (at least on the doc I was reading it wasn't). Thanks!16:01
SpamapSAndy80: I'm not sure there are specific guides for that.. but usually you will need to be more explicit with each of the .install/.docs files to specify the package name.. and add sections to the control file for each16:31
* SpamapS changes gears16:32
SpamapSso, I uploaded a merge of mysql-5.5 from Debian experimental and since it is new to Ubuntu, its in the NEW queue. Does it have to pass a full NEW review or am I just waiting for an AA to ack it?16:32
pittiSpamapS: as long as it's a sync, we usually just wave it through16:36
pittiSpamapS: so if it's a merge, an AA will at least have to do some cursory checks16:36
SpamapSpitti: ACK.. so is there anyone I can poke for an expedite? I need to get the libmysqlclient transition rolling. :-P16:52

* mterry looks at bug18:12
brycehheya mterry, I poked around to see if anyone got that same error as I but found nothing; wondering if it's some odd perl conflict18:13
brycehor something particular to the pbuilder version I have installed18:13
mterrybryceh, hm maybe cjwatson would know right away, he did the perl transition18:14
broderbryceh: debootstrap was having issues with perl18:14
broderperl-modules in particular18:14
brodercjwatson fixed it with the most recent debootstrap upload to unstable, if you want to grab that18:14
brycehbroder, ah that sounds like a plausible suspect18:14
broder(as i recall, both the old and new versions of perl-modules were still getting published, and debootstrap couldn't handle it)18:15
brycehbroder, ah18:15
brycehhmm, not sure if I can direct pbuilder to pull bits from debian, but sounds like we'll be syncing that in before too long?18:16
broderbryceh: you use your own debootstrap, not the chroots18:16

cjwatsonpitti: fonts-farsiweb> that's fine, thanks - no urgency on an upload, it can go into the next one that's needed for some other reason.  I've committed the corresponding seed change too20:22
cjwatsonbryceh: oh, yeah, I meant to sync debootstrap from unstable today for that but forgot (something to do with being on holiday maybe ;-) ).  Synced now20:23
brycehcjwatson, thanks.  Should the fix be sru'd, for folks that are doing pbuilder of precise on stable series?20:27
brycehcjwatson, if you can point me at the appropriate patch I can do the sru grunt work on it.20:27
cjwatsonbryceh: I commented on the bug.  I don't think it will get through the SRU process before the archive is changed such that it goes away on its own20:28

cjwatsonbroder: Well, it's not so much that as that historically I've kept debootstrap up to date in -backports anyway because lots of people want the new scripts symlink20:48
brodercjwatson: i thought we sru'd those...20:49
cjwatsonSomebody started SRUing them without asking me first20:49
cjwatsonI'd already been backporting them for some time before that20:49
Laneyi only see it in updates for lucid20:49
broderheh, ok. i have no problem if there's precedent20:50
cjwatsonSo basically it's a mess20:50
cjwatsonAlternatively somebody could upload the relevant bits of KDE to make perlkde buildable and then the problem will go away for now :-)20:50
cjwatsonIn principle perl transitions should be completeable in about two or three days; less if we had good enough tools to stage them somewhere20:51
LaneyIt does seem more appropriate to cherry-pick that fix for SRU, but I recognise that it may be more work than it's worth. So I'm happy with carrying on keeping debootstrap more-or-less up to date in backports..20:51
RiddellI am in the proccess of merging and uploading large parts of KDE so it should happen soon20:52

szymon_ghm... why does ubuntu have 2 installation-cd: "desktop" and alternate? wouldn't it be easier to keep it on one (since space isn't that big problem- it will be to big for cd anyway...)?23:18
penguin42szymon_g: Don't forget the desktop is also a live cd23:26
RAOFszymon_g: You don't need both the alternate and desktop installers; they're two different ways to arrive at the same installed system.23:27
szymon_gpenguin42, yes, i know. i wonder- why they are seperated: on the start of system /when you choose like "check cd for defects" "check memory" etc etc/ someone could choose: either livecd /and maybe simple install from it/ or "advanced" way- i.e. textual installer, with lvm/raid etc23:29
szymon_gso it would be easier for some people /like me: no need to get 2 images: livecd for checking how unity has been changed + alternate for installing on lvm/raid/23:30
TheMusoszymon_g: That used to be available in the DVD version.23:30
szymon_g"used to be" :?23:30
szymon_gwas dvd ceased?23:30
TheMusoAs of oneiric, I believe the DVD version in that form is no longer available.23:30
RAOFThey're separated because you can't fit both of them on the same CD.23:30
TheMusoThere is still a DVD version, but its a live system only, and much smaller.23:31
szymon_gRAOF, but the next ubuntu wont be on CD either23:31
RAOFIt will be if it fits :)23:31
szymon_gand textual installer + lvm/raid support wont occupy much space23:31
TheMusoYes it will actually, you need all the debs of the system to be installed.23:32
szymon_gRAOF, i heard rumors that it will be approx 750mb o.O23:32
RAOFYes, it will.  it will occupy 700 MB of space. :)23:32
RAOFThere is essentially nothing shared between the livecd and the alternate installer.23:32
szymon_gso- are there any chances to introduce lvm/raid configuration in livecd installer?23:33
RAOFOf course.23:33
RAOFIt's a long-standing feature request.23:33
TheMusoBut not a priority afaik.23:33
RAOFI don't think that anyone's currently working on it, but if you wanted to I don't know of any reason why good patches wouldn't be accepted.23:33
