pittiGood morning06:47
bryceh_lifeless, the code is finished and landed, but got feature flagged off so is unusable :-(07:00
lifelessbryceh_: why did that happen?07:10
bryceh_lifeless, I think curtis wanted to review the UI in more detail, but I think he's been tied up on other stuff07:14
lifelessnab him next week07:16
StevenKEven if the flag is only turned for a small team07:17
bryceh_lifeless, I had a follow on branch (https://code.launchpad.net/~bryce/launchpad/component-in-bug-filing-links) but it's kinda hard to test without having the config branch available so having it disabled stalled that work.07:17
lifelessI would say just turn it on, its new stuff not changes to existing UI, so might be horrible but unlikely to regress anything07:18
lifelessbut, if sinzui wanted it off, I don't want to second guess him07:18
bryceh_lifeless, my hope was to get the bugtracker forwarding feature escalated on the stakeholder roadmap so I could get more active help at getting this done, but of course that hope's been dashed ;-)07:19
bryceh_lifeless, right, it's new UI in an out of the way corner I think few users go to, but for certain bugtrackers with lots of packages (e.g. gnome) it makes for a rather long list of links and buttons.  I'm sure curtis could think of a more attractive way to show it.07:23
lifelessperfect enemy good etc07:25
lifelessanyhow, nab him, and I'm sure he'll unblock it somewhat07:25
bryceh_lifeless, certainly.  In any case thanks for looking into it.07:43
bryceh_lifeless, I notice you've marked it down to low priority?07:55
lifelessbryceh_: I have to downgrade 900 bugs07:55
lifelessbryceh_: this reflects accurately the project opinion of the bug I think; you can of course hack on it yourself; and if you escalate it, its importance will increase (a lot :P)07:56
bryceh_lifeless, ...08:00
lifelessbryceh_: ?08:00
bryceh_lifeless, I've got my own separate tools for doing bug upstreaming for X.  Reason I've been working on this was because I understood it was functionality folks wanted to see integrated in launchpad itself.08:01
lifelessbryceh_: we do08:01
lifelessbryceh_: LP is *big*; fpr the 'high' category of bugs we want ~ 6 months work; with the changes happening thats about 1/4 what it was before08:02
lifelessbryceh_: if you think this thing is worth bumping a different one from, from the perspective of canonical sponsored work on LP, thats fine - just put it back to high, explain why, and I'll try to find something else to bump08:03
lifelessbryceh_: e.g. for remote bug tracker stuff, we have the following defects - offhand -08:06
lifeless - archived debugs don't work08:06
lifeless - savannah.nongnu.org doesn't work08:06
lifeless - other instances od debugs don't work08:06

lifelessbryceh_: so I'm looking at a lot of bugs and making the best assessment I can; I will get it wrong - like I say above, if this is one of those cases, say so (in the bug please) and I will correct08:07
bryceh_lifeless, okay. Well this goes along with the bug forwarding feature, which has already been escalated.  I think there's little harm in  this bug waiting until that feature work bubbles back up in priorities.08:12
lifelessbryceh_: I think you should get the stuff done so far fully live, having inventory on the shelf sucks08:15
=== smb` is now known as smb
bryceh_lifeless, yes, I totally 100% agree08:39
bryceh_lifeless, I guess basically I've been stuck not knowing *how* to get it fully live.08:40
bryceh_lifeless, also btw since I'm merely a community guy now I don't have powers for setting launchpad bug priorities or anything fancy like that anymore08:41
lifelessbryceh_: so, getting it live - put a request on launchpadproductionstatus to turn the flag on08:42
lifelessbryceh_: unless sinzui asked you not to or whatever08:42
lifelessbryceh_: Would you like to be in ~canonical-launchpad-emeritus ?08:42
bryceh_lifeless, maybe?  I don't know what that is08:43

lifelessthe presumption is you are still tacking the broad project so that this is useful :)08:45

bryceh_lifeless, thanks08:45
bryceh_lifeless, ok past EOD for me, hopefully I can catch curtis next week.  I think it's going to be a busy week for me.08:46

micahgjamespage: hi, I've got a build failure with a new java package that I'm not sure how to fix, I tried adding the build dependency it seems to want, but I get the same failure, the build works fine with network access (it must be downloading something) https://launchpad.net/~micahg/+archive/ftbfs-test/+build/3064946, this is needed for an FTBFS depwait in precise09:11
jamespagemicahg: lemme take a look09:14
jamespagemicahg: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/793582/09:52
jamespagebasically it can't generate the javadoc because it can't find the artifacts it just built09:52
micahgah, so I was still missing stuff09:52
jamespagemicahg: well its a fault in the packaging really - it should use 'install' rather than 'package' to ensure that the jars are deployed into the local maven repository during the build process09:53
micahgjamespage: oh, is that it?09:53
jamespagemicahg: setting DEB_MAVEN_BUILD_TARGET := install in debian rules should resolve the issue09:54
micahgjamespage: thanks!, will try that09:54
jamespageBTW I got that error message by building offline locally and then looking at the txt file that the error message refers to.09:55
micahgjamespage: BTW, is there a guide anywhere to fix Java FTBFS?09:55
jamespagemicahg: nope09:55
micahgjamespage: do I still need the javadoc-plugin build dependency?09:55
jamespagemicahg: I already see libmaven-javadoc-plugin-java as a build-dep in Debian? not sure why you had to add that...09:58
micahgjamespage: ah, indeed it is, I guess I couldn't see it when trying to fix this the first time at 3AM :)09:59
frafuHi,10:08
frafuAs you probably know, Onboard is the onscreen keyboard shipping by default with Ubuntu. We are considering porting it to python 3. Could anybody please tell me whether python 3 will be available on the Ubuntu 12.04 LiveCD? Could anybody please tell me whether there is any reason concerning Ubuntu to not port Onboard to python 3? Thanks in advance.10:08
brendandfrafu - it will be there10:13
brendandas for reasons not to port it. ? maybe someone else has something to say10:13
brendandfrafu - you can always check http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/precise-desktop-i386.manifest for a package list10:14
brendandfrafu - i guess you could find some required modules aren't yet ported to python3 i guess10:17
frafubrendand: Thanks for the reply and the link to the list with the packages of the current LiveCD. It will be useful to check whether the required dependencies are also available. If anybody sees a reason to not port it (assuming all dependencies are available on the LiveCD), please let me know.10:25

pittiI'll check fonts-nanum, it was supposed to replace the old unfonts, but I don't see that on the removal list14:59
seb128pitti, I will look at the gtk2 one, I wonder if that's the "don't bzip the changelogs, news, etc" to workaround that gzip md5sum between archs bug14:59

pittiI'll take the evince growth, too15:00
pitticjwatson: haven't looked at it yet; but 200 kB -> 3.3 MB seems quite radical15:01
pitticould be that our previous package didn't actually ship any data or so :)15:01

cjwatsonthis bug goes back to germinate r25!15:39
cjwatson(currently at r470)15:39
pitticjwatson: it affects package names where one is a prefix of another one?15:41
pittiprobably not a very common case indeed15:41
cjwatsonNo15:41
cjwatson * Kernel-Version: foo-generic15:41
cjwatson * /^.*-modules-.*-di/ [amd64]15:42
cjwatson * Kernel-Version: foo-generic-pae15:42
cjwatson * /^.*-modules-.*-di/ [i386]15:42
cjwatsonThe Kernel-Version in force for the last line is in fact "foo-generic foo-generic-pae"15:42
cjwatsonThis is bogus15:42
cjwatson... and this is truly painful to fix because germinate only keeps a record of that per-seed right now and indeed processes it long after it's forgotten exactly where in the seed it is15:50

apwperhaps it is time for it to just go away17:38

cjwatsonTransitional packages are those which used to have real contents and are now dependency-only17:40
cjwatsonI think we ought to change it anyway to help the upgrade path17:40
apwcjwatson, ahh i mean transition in the sense we used to use linux-image, then we got flavours so we added linux-image-<flavour> and those do the mappings17:40
cjwatsonIn fact it's probably the simplest way to get the upgrade path right17:40
cjwatsonNo, that isn't the cas17:40

apwif its meant to be the default flavour then it should point to -pae17:41

TheMusojtaylor: I have access to the Debian git repo for espeak, and I put my work into the git repo for Debian.20:33
TheMusojtaylor: Espeak is maintained by pkg-a11y, and I am on that team, so have access to their git repos on alioth.20:33
jtaylorTheMuso: so the same update planned to be done in debian soon too?20:33
TheMusojtaylor: I can poke a member of the pkg-a11y team who is a DD to upload it if its urgent, otherwise it will be uploaded when one of them gets around to it.20:34
TheMusoI generally just do work on both our packaging and Debian's, and they haven't complained yet, so this seems to work well for us.20:35
TheMusojtaylor: Oh for espeakup as well, I could get that into the git repo for you if you'd like.20:38
jtaylorI have no real connection with the package, I just fixed the last ftbs20:43
jtaylorand the new espeak upload breaks it again20:43
TheMusoAh ok.20:43
jtaylorI'll just wait a bit for the update in debian20:44
TheMusoDo you have your work for espeak somewhere, i.e the changes needed to make it build again? If not, enver mind, I'll take a look myself.20:44
jtaylorone issue is the espeakup udeb, as espeak now needs pulse the udeb pulls in a nono-udeb20:44
jtaylorI'll upload a branch that fixes it in a moment20:45
TheMusoOk.20:47
semiosishi all, i've got a solution for an ubuntu-specific bug in a package we get from debian.  how can I go about contributing the fix to the ubuntu packaging?  it's really simple, just replacing an initscript with an upstart job.20:49

TheMusojtaylor: Thanks, will get that uploaded and into Debian for you today.20:54
jtaylorits not needed as long espeak is not update20:54
jtayloralso the pulse udeb issue should be checked20:54
TheMusoOk.20:55
broderarges: you should check out backportpackage in ubuntu-dev-tools20:57
TheMusojtaylor: Actually, I think there are grounds for not linking libespeak.a against pulse at all, since libespeak.a is statically linked against espeakup.20:57
TheMusojtaylor: So I'll fix the espeak packaging so that pulse is only used in the shared lib.20:58
TheMusoAnd then adjust your espeakup diff accordingly and upload both.20:58
argesbroder, awesome. i'll check that out20:58
semiosiscan anyone point me in the right direction to contribute an ubuntu specific change to a package we import from debian?20:59
micahgsemiosis: if you likes VCSs: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/fixing-a-bug.html21:02
semiosismicahg: thank you! sure I like VCSs21:03
semiosisi'm basically already at "request merge" i just have no idea how to go about doing that.21:04
micahgah, ok21:04
semiosisi have already contributed the fix to the upstream project, now its just a matter of updating the ubuntu packaging to use it (an ubuntu upstart job instead of the debian initscript)21:05
semiosisi even have a ppa with the fix already included :)21:05
semiosisafter much testing, i think its ready for primetime21:05
micahgah, so you just need the info at the bottom of that page then21:05
semiosismicahg: thanks so much I think i can have this done today :D21:06

chrisccoulsonhi cnd, you around?21:17
cndchrisccoulson, yep21:18
chrisccoulsoncnd - i've just restart my precise box after doing the first upgrade in a while, and noticed that edge scrolling no longer works on my touchpad21:18
chrisccoulsoncnd - i have "2 finger scrolling" enabled in control center, which i think is the default. but, isn't it meant to fall back to edge scrolling when 2 finger isn't suported?21:19
cndchrisccoulson, unfortunately, that's not the case21:19
chrisccoulsonit doesn't seem to be doing that now (i have to actually select edge-scrolling in control-center to make it work)21:19
chrisccoulsonoh?21:19
cndIIRC, you can do both at the same time, if you twiddle with options in xinput21:19
cndbut the GTK configuration dialog doesn't allow that flexibility21:19
cndit does exactly what it says21:20
cndif you select two touch scrolling, it won't do edge scrolling21:20
chrisccoulsoncnd - wasn't 2 finger scrolling enabled by default before though?21:20
cndchrisccoulson, we looked into it21:21
cndbut the GTK configuration dialog was one reason we couldn't enable it by default out of the box21:21
cndso it was put on the back burner21:21
chrisccoulsonhmmm, i wonder what's changed then? i've had to manually enable edge scrolling now :/21:22
chrisccoulsonmaybe this is seb128's fault ;)21:22
seb128chrisccoulson, !!!21:22
chrisccoulsonseb128, is it fixed yet???21:22
seb128lol21:23
seb128chrisccoulson, wait, you will see ;-)21:23
chrisccoulsonheh21:23
argesbroder, ok i'm getting the same result previously when just using pbuilder-dist and the .dsc.  It says it needs newer versions of  cdbs and debhelper.  Do I need to backport those packages first and use those? or is there a repo i can add?21:25
broderarges: usually the best thing to do in that case is figure out why the required versions of cdbs/debhelper are so high, modify the packaging so it doesn't need features from those versions, and then drop the build-dependency to whatever is in the release you're backporting to21:28
broderthat's not something that can be automated21:28
argesbroder, ok gotcha21:33
cndchrisccoulson, I thought edge scrolling was the default, maybe upstream gtk changed it?21:36
chrisccoulsoncnd, hmm, i'm confused now. it doesn't look like the default has changed21:45
