| hallyn | mdeslaur: but development release is not available there. ok to complicate that logic with a special case? | 04:54 |
|---|---|---|
| hallyn | slangasek: originally he thought it was a race condition, but he has deeper issues | 04:55 |
| pitti | Good morning | 05:54 |
| pitti | slangasek: I don't know about urfkill, I'm afraid; but I'm surprised that we need it, I thought network-manager would already handle these | 06:00 |
| pitti | slangasek: but I guess it can be changed to be inert when n-m is running, similar to e. g. the powerbutton script of acpi-support? | 06:00 |
| slangasek | pitti: eh, network-manager is entirely the wrong layer to handle these keys | 06:02 |
| slangasek | because they are intended to control all antennas, not just wifi | 06:02 |
| slangasek | n-m is not what handles the thinkpad antenna key at all, for instance; acpi-support does that currently | 06:03 |
| pitti | slangasek: ah, I see; so that's generally the Fn+Something soft switch? | 06:04 |
| slangasek | yep | 06:04 |
| pitti | I certainly remember quite a lot of bug reports which say that the key is not working on a particular model | 06:05 |
| pitti | usually in udev bugs which send the wrong key code, but even when fixing it it doesn't seem to work sometimes | 06:05 |
| pitti | so maybe urfkill will work better with those than acpi-support | 06:05 |
| slangasek | yes, because acpi-support only handles acpi events, not keys | 06:06 |
| pitti | that would certainly explain it | 06:06 |
| pitti | could we move the config files to /lib/ or /usr/share somewhere? | 06:07 |
| slangasek | if you wish? :) | 06:07 |
| pitti | slangasek: as you were concerned that they aren't really conffiles | 06:08 |
| slangasek | I was mostly concerned about it being a possible sign that the code wasn't mature enough to DTRT | 06:08 |
| slangasek | but then I found the per-vendor files which showed that to not be an issue | 06:09 |
| slangasek | so I'm not worried about moving them, but I think it would be legitimate to do so | 06:09 |
| pitti | installed the package now; the two per-vendor conffiles look rather harmless | 06:12 |

| cjwatson | pitti: I was curious over the weekend if there was a particular reason there aren't python3-problem-report and python3-apport packages yet, despite the apport tests passing with Python 3 | 09:36 |
| pitti | cjwatson: I actually fixed quite a lot of the apport.* modules, but problem_report is particularly broken with python 3 stil | 09:37 |
| cjwatson | ah | 09:37 |
| cjwatson | the tests didn't seem to show that? | 09:37 |
| cjwatson | maybe I missed something | 09:38 |
| pitti | I need to make up my mind what makes more sense to store in Report objects: always byte arrays (more flexible, but doens't work well with real strings), always utf8 (need to be more careful with logs, etc.), or mix (too confusing) | 09:38 |
| pitti | python3 problem_report.py -v | 09:38 |
| cjwatson | (hmm, also https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-p-python-versions seems to say that apport's in update-manager's dependency chain but I don't see it there) | 09:38 |

| cjwatson | ah, ye | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | s | 09:39 |
| pitti | you can run the whole suite with PYTHON=python3 test/run, FYI | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | I thought I did, must have missed that | 09:39 |
| pitti | cjwatson: I think I can make the whole thing work for python 3, but I didn't put urgency into this as we are missing python3-launchpadlib | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | oh, I just ran python3 test/python, that was why | 09:39 |

| cjwatson | or distro-info | 13:07 |
| cjwatson | though that runs too fast to be talking to the API :-) | 13:07 |

| Daviey | cjwatson: the 4th is probably piuparts.debian.org :) | 21:26 |
| jono | has Empathy been removed from the disc? | 21:28 |
| scott-work | cjwatson: lol | 21:28 |
| jono | I just noticed in my new install that it is not installed | 21:28 |
| scott-work | cjwatson: but i can defintely tell you that i truly appreciate your efforts on this :) | 21:28 |
| l3on | Hey guys... I have 4 packages that need a rebuild... since I don't have upload rights, someone can do that for me ? | 21:29 |
| micahg | l3on: sure, which ones and why? | 21:30 |
| l3on | micahg, well: | 21:30 |
| l3on | This three: haskell-test-framework-hunit haskell-test-framework-quickcheck2 haskell-test-framework-th | 21:30 |
| SpamapS | why does haskell get rebuilt every 3 weeks? ;) | 21:30 |
| micahg | ABI changes per upload | 21:31 |
| l3on | are against: haskell-test-framework | 21:31 |
| l3on | this: haskell-clientsession against haskell-skein | 21:31 |
| l3on | thanks micahg :) | 21:32 |
| jbicha | jono: I just did a new install of precise this morning and empathy is definitely installed, maybe you did a dist-upgrade that removed it? | 21:32 |
| jono | jbicha, hmmm odd | 21:32 |
| jono | thanks jbicha | 21:32 |
| l3on | micahg, here the motivation → http://paste.ubuntu.com/814739/ | 21:34 |
| micahg | l3on: yeah, makes sense | 21:35 |
| cjwatson | l3on: fyi, although haskell is a known standard case where we need rebuilds, in general you cannot assume that unmet dependencies will be magically fixed by a rebuild | 21:37 |
| cjwatson | I've noticed you asking for that as a sort of reflex for unmet deps - you do need to check that rebuilding will actually help | 21:37 |
| l3on | I rebuild http://debomatic.debian.net/precise/pool/haskell-test-framework-th_0.2.2-3build1/ | 21:38 |
| l3on | but, onestly, I dind't check the other :/ | 21:39 |
| l3on | *others | 21:39 |
| cjwatson | haskell needs to be rebuilt in dependency order - otherwise you may end up having to rebuild multiple times | 21:40 |
| cjwatson | use http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/ghc.html | 21:40 |
| cjwatson | likewise with ocaml | 21:41 |
| l3on | well.... and is that link public ? | 21:42 |
| TheMuso | doko: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at-spi/+bug/790240/+attachment/2689627/+files/openjdk-use-atk-wrapper.diff are my changes for openjdk-6. | 21:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 790240 in openjdk-6 (Ubuntu Precise) "at-spi needs demotion for precise (at-spi2-core in main)" [Medium,Triaged] | 21:42 |
| l3on | no, because it's the first time I ever seen that ... | 21:42 |
| cjwatson | l3on: yes | 21:42 |
| cjwatson | I mean yes it is public | 21:43 |
| l3on | there is some wiki page that I have not read yet ? | 21:43 |
| cjwatson | I can hardly answer that reasonably | 21:43 |
| infinity | I suspect there are several? | 21:43 |
| l3on | can you give me a wikipage that links to that html ? | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-May/033270.html | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | no idea if it is on the wiki | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | but it's a wiki, you can edit it :) | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview/Alpha1 and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PlusOneMaintenanceTeam/Specs/Infrastructure link to it, although neither is particularly documentation; but you specified wiki pages. :-) | 21:46 |
| === lan3y is now known as Laney | ||
| l3on | It's absolutely not clear for a new contributor all these things... there's an well known lack in devel-doc that scares me ... :/ | 21:46 |
| l3on | beh... let's go to read :) thank cjwatson | 21:47 |
| YokoZar | Which debhelper program might be responsible for deleting a .so file in a package directory? | 21:47 |
| * SpamapS starts a discussion about bug #871907 | 21:48 | |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 871907 in vim (Ubuntu) "vim should have "set bg=dark" by default" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/871907 | 21:48 |
| infinity | SpamapS: Agreed, ship it. | 21:48 |
| infinity | SpamapS: (Obviously, the correct answer here is "why the heck isn't vim detecting the current terminal palette and adjusting sanely?" | 21:49 |
| infinity | ) | 21:49 |
| infinity | SpamapS: But people who use white terminals are Wrong(tm) anyway. | 21:49 |
| * SpamapS raises infinity a few ticks on the list of people who get to come on the space ship this December | 21:51 | |
| SpamapS | infinity: indeed, "terminal" isn't enough, we need a new bit to the emulation spec which is "normal" or "eye burning" | 21:52 |
| cjwatson | l3on: I don't think it would be reasonable for most new contributors to need to know about the transition tracker; it's a fairly advanced archive management tool | 21:54 |
| cjwatson | maybe s/advanced/specialised/ | 21:54 |
| micahg | l3on: I did the ones for haskell-test-framework, the haskell-clientsession one requires a few extra rebuilds on top of this and I'm not going to do that right now, are you blocked on this for something or are you just trying to fix stuff? | 21:57 |
| l3on | micahg, fixing unmetdep in precise... | 21:57 |
| micahg | ok, so, it's 7 rebuilds total and they have to be in the right order | 22:01 |
| micahg | maybe I look later this week unless someone else grabs it first | 22:02 |
| micahg | actually, it's 8 (forgot about the first one ) | 22:02 |
| infinity | SpamapS: Is there no way for vim to determine its current bgcolor? | 22:03 |
| infinity | SpamapS: I would have thought that it would know what it inherited from its parent. | 22:03 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: if you have a sec, the TB meeting minutes are waiting in ubuntu-devel-announce | 22:16 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: accepted | 22:19 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: thanks | 22:20 |
| RAOF | We're almost ready to perform the Xserver transition, so I now need to know how to/who to do the source+binary copy from the staging PPA. | 22:21 |
| RAOF | cjwatson: If you're not too busy/asleep, I suspect that you know how I can go about binary-copying from the X staging PPA into precise. :) | 22:52 |
| cjwatson | yep. needs an archive admin. I can do it - can you give me full details? | 22:53 |
| cjwatson | oh, wait, you ARE an archive admin | 22:53 |
| YokoZar | If package foo version 1 provides i386 and amd64 versions, and package foo version 2 in precise only provides i386 versions (that install fine via multiarch), what happens at upgrade time? | 22:53 |
| RAOF | cjwatson: Only for purposes of SRU-teamage. | 22:54 |
| YokoZar | IE, do we have to special case each multiarch transition from packages that used to use ia32-libs? | 22:54 |
| cjwatson | I think it wants an adaptation of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArchiveAdministration#Publishing_packages_from_the_ubuntu-mozilla-security_public_PPA | 22:54 |
| Laney | does copyPackage(s) + include_binaries=True not work for anyone? does it work at all? | 22:54 |
| cjwatson | Laney: wgrant seems to think it's busted, and I've seen some corroboration of that, so I intend to avoid it until I have time to write a unit test that shows up the problem | 22:55 |
| Laney | righto | 22:55 |
| cjwatson | I think it worked for me when copying oneiric-proposed -> precise but not oneiric-proposed -> oneiric-updates | 22:55 |
| wgrant | cjwatson: I don't know that it's busted, I just know how many problems the implementation has had, and how little it was tested. | 22:55 |
| RAOF | We want everything in https://launchpad.net/~canonical-x/+archive/x-staging/+packages to land in Precise. It's all built and ready. | 22:55 |
| cjwatson | but at least some of the implementors seem to be opposed to having the damn thing just e-mail me to tell me what the problem is | 22:56 |
| cjwatson | so I can't debug it | 22:56 |
| cjwatson | RAOF: should I care about the four build failures there? | 22:56 |
| RAOF | Three of them are expected dep-waits rather than build failures; the msm failure on armhf needs fixing, but that can be done later. | 22:57 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure it can after I copy | 22:58 |
| cjwatson | I mean I'm not certain it won't need a new upload | 22:58 |
| RAOF | Oh, it will need a new upload. | 22:58 |
| RAOF | But I'm not sure if anyone uses that driver at all, I don't particularly want to invest the time in fixing the build on armhf right now, and I don't want to delay the transition further. | 22:59 |
| RAOF | And I *know* that no-one uses that driver on armhf right now, because it's never been built there before. | 23:00 |
| * Laney hopes this transition will bring super meat boy back :-) | 23:00 | |
| * RAOF had no idea that super meat boy went away, so he confidently responds *yes* ! | 23:02 | |
| kirkland | cjwatson: hey, any chance you're still around? | 23:18 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: I have some questions about linux-headers and dkms | 23:18 |
| cjwatson | RAOF: xkeyboard-config has a newer version in precise? | 23:19 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: sort of, not sure that sounds like I'm the best person to ask though ... | 23:19 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: who do you recommend to field this one, then? | 23:19 |
| kirkland | maybe slangasek has some ideas | 23:19 |
| RAOF | cjwatson: Yes, that's expected, sorry. I should have removed that from the PPA. | 23:19 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: I don't know. You could ask the question to the channel first and then we could find out | 23:19 |
| * RAOF could even have some relevant dkms knowledge | 23:20 | |
| kirkland | slangasek: cjwatson: okay, I think this should probably be a systemic problem with any dkms packages | 23:20 |
| kirkland | RAOF: \o/ | 23:20 |
| kirkland | slangasek: cjwatson: i have a dkms package, which, of course requires linux-headers to build | 23:20 |
| kirkland | slangasek: cjwatson: i can depend on linux-headers, clearly | 23:21 |
| kirkland | slangasek: cjwatson: but in practice, that doesn't seem to be enough | 23:21 |

| kirkland | slangasek: cjwatson: because of the combination of all of the different versions and flavors that might be on a given user's system | 23:21 |
| infinity | kirkland: Depending on headers is as much of a failing idea as depending on kernel images. | 23:21 |
| slangasek | kirkland: there's no good solution to this problem | 23:21 |
| slangasek | fwiw | 23:22 |
| kirkland | slangasek: ah, okay, so this is a known issue, that others have tried to solve? | 23:22 |
| slangasek | yep | 23:22 |
| kirkland | slangasek: is there a currently recommended best practice? | 23:22 |
| slangasek | there's no way to express the dependency "I need the version of the headers corresponding to the kernel the user has installed / is running" | 23:22 |
| infinity | kirkland: nvidia* goes for a best guess of "linux-headers-generic | linux-headers", but that will fail often enough. | 23:22 |
| kirkland | infinity: yep, which is where we are | 23:23 |
| infinity | kirkland: Generally, the assumption is that people installing dkms packages have the right linux-* metapackage installed, or know what they're doing. :/ | 23:23 |
| slangasek | kirkland: I think whatever superm1 is doing is probably "recommended best practice" | 23:23 |
| cjwatson | RAOF: http://paste.ubuntu.com/814880/ - please review | 23:23 |
| kirkland | infinity: i have a check in the postinst, that can echo to the user exactly what they need to install | 23:23 |
| kirkland | slangasek: okay, i poked superm1 about this several weeks ago, never heard back from him | 23:23 |
| infinity | kirkland: People who watch postinst output have a high incidence of intersection with people who know what headers they need. | 23:23 |
| kirkland | infinity: ack | 23:24 |
| infinity | kirkland: Now, if this is a driver being enabled by jockey, I suspect jockey can DTRT (and if it doesn't, it could be taught how to) | 23:24 |
| kirkland | perhaps what i need is a wrapper script that DTRT | 23:24 |
| slangasek | kirkland: right - but you can work out which dkms-using packages in the archive he's touched, I guess, and look at what they do :) (I honestly don't remember which those are) | 23:24 |
| kirkland | and recommend that as the way to install this dkms module | 23:24 |
| kirkland | slangasek: heh | 23:25 |
| cjwatson | RAOF: It's possible I could do it all in one command, but then I wouldn't get version checks | 23:25 |
| cjwatson | And I'm paranoid about this sort of thing | 23:25 |
| RAOF | Fair enough. I'm checking the versions, too. | 23:26 |
| infinity | kirkland: To be fair, on a "standard" Ubuntu system (server or any desktop flavor), it's fair to assume that the right headers are installed, and dkms will "just work". | 23:26 |
| kirkland | headers=$(dpkg -l linux-image-* | grep "^ii" | awk '{print $2}' | sed "s/-image-/-headers-/") ; sudo apt-get install $headers | 23:26 |
| infinity | kirkland: People who break that assumption, while in an unfortunate situation from a support and DWIM standpoint, are hopefully fairly rare. | 23:26 |
| kirkland | infinity: hmm, are you sure about that? | 23:27 |
| infinity | kirkland: Quite. | 23:27 |
| kirkland | infinity: i didn't think headers were installed everywhere by default? | 23:27 |
| infinity | kirkland: We jump through hoops to make sure post-installer systems have kernel+headers that match, and a metapackage to make that persist on upgrades. | 23:28 |
| RAOF | cjwatson: That list looks correct. | 23:28 |
| * cjwatson idly notes that linux-headers-generic is no longer the default on i386 ... | 23:28 | |
| cjwatson | (And no idea if we always get upgrades right.) | 23:29 |
| infinity | cjwatson: You mean generic -> pae upgrades? | 23:29 |
| infinity | cjwatson: I have no idea either, but I'd like to hope so? :) | 23:29 |
| === emma is now known as em | ||

| infinity | I need new fingers to rain from the sky. | 23:31 |
| kirkland | if not linux-headers-generic, what is "the default" on i386 now, cjwatson ? | 23:32 |
| cjwatson | -generic-pae | 23:32 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: k | 23:32 |
