dholbachgood morning07:54
dholbachLaney, tumbleweed: if you still want to do the other session about "working in debian", could you please go and grab a slot soonish? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Timetable - HUGS :)08:00
bkerensadholbach: Would be cool if Ubuntu Developer Week was a physical event... I surely could benefit from a week of development sessions :D08:06
dholbachhaha, yes, that'd be nice08:07

Laneydholbach: yeah, sure10:11
Laneysorry that it's harder work for you this time around :(10:11
dholbachLaney, it's fine - I just want the schedule to be sorted out RSN, so I can still get in touch with some other Linux sites, so we get more participants this time - that's why I urge everyone a bit more than usual :)10:13
* Laney goes cross-eyed looking at wiki markup10:13
dholbachLaney, I can help you with that if you tell me title and time :)10:13
Laneygot it10:13
dholbachok great10:13
dholbach:)10:13
* dholbach hugs Laney and tumbleweed10:14
dholbachthanks a bunch10:14
bkerensa=o10:15
* tumbleweed supposes he should take on an extra session or two10:47
tumbleweeddholbach: what were you thinking about for the pbuilder / sbuild session? advanced usage & hooks11:07
dholbachmaybe, yeah - maybe even some quick introduction about what the tools are, why they're useful, pros of each and how to generally use them11:08
dholbachI'd leave it up to you :)11:08
tumbleweedyou do cover the basics in the intro, though?11:09
dholbachtumbleweed, I'm not quite sure how much time I'll have - I'll sure mention it and ask folks to setup a pbuilder in the getting set up session - in the past I almost never had the time for them to actually build a package11:11
dholbachbut 2h in one sitting is probably as much as you can type non-stop :)11:11
tumbleweedand there I thought you were copying-and-pasting :P11:11
dholbachI did that the last time around and it helped a lot11:12
tumbleweedwell, I asked around here, and people thought that was the most useful from your list of suggestions, so I'll snag a 30min slot for it11:12
dholbachbut sometimes you can guess by the questions that you need to expand on a thought, etc11:12
* dholbach hugs tumbleweed11:12
dholbachbeers are on me next time we meet :)11:12
dholbachoh and my friend showed me pictures of his trip trip Cape town yesterday - it was beautiful11:13
highvoltageit still is :p11:13
dholbacha shame he didn't read my mail in time to come to your LUG meeting11:13
tumbleweedunfortunatly rather hot recently11:13
dholbachhighvoltage, ok, I meant the pics were beautiful :-P11:13
* highvoltage just wanted to chime in :)11:14
dholbachhighvoltage, hey, you could chime in with a session you're giving! :-)11:14
dholbachhighvoltage, how about a 30m demo of Edubuntu and what's cooking there? :)11:15
highvoltagedholbach: tumbleweed has already been putting some pressure on me to do that. I guess I might just do that!11:15
tumbleweedheh11:16
highvoltage(and just last night I decided to say 'no' to more things)11:16
tumbleweeddholbach: I can probably extend the pbuilder session to an hour if the schedule stays empty (going into sbuild if I run out of material)11:17
dholbachhighvoltage, sorry, I didn't mean to browbeat you into something11:18
dholbachhighvoltage, maybe some of your Edubuntu friends would be interested?11:18
highvoltagedholbach: nah, not at all. I fullheartedly want to11:19
* dholbach hugs highvoltage11:19
highvoltage*hugs*11:19
highvoltageI just need to find ways to be more time-efficient (it's hard)11:19
dholbachTHAT's a session we should have at UDW :)11:20
dholbachor two11:20
tumbleweedhighvoltage: I need a session on how to actually get a thesis done when there is so much fun OSS stuff to do11:21
highvoltageyeah I bought a bunch of e-books on time management and how tobe more efficient when doing creative kind of work. but I haven't had the time to read them yet :)11:22
tumbleweed:)11:22
highvoltagetumbleweed: ah I thought you were very near to the end11:22
tumbleweedtime wise, that doesn't mean progress-wise11:22

dholbachLaney, nice work on LP!12:44
Laney:-)12:44
Laneywas quite fun actually12:45
Laneyand to think it was all to make nigelb proud!12:45
dholbachLaney, I guess there won't be a way to fix historic data, right?12:46
Laneysadly not, as it wasn't stored anywhere12:46
dholbachI thought so12:46
dholbachbut at least it's fixed from now on :)12:47
Laneyunless you want to trawl through bugs and do it manually :P12:47
dholbachor well, when it landed12:47
dholbachyeah, I great way to spend a lazy sunday afternoon12:47
dholbachor 1500 lazy sunday afternoons12:47
Laneyheh12:47
dholbach:)12:47
Laneydifferent definitions of 'great' possibly …12:48
dholbachI guess it depends on how great your other lazy sunday afternoons are :)12:48
Laneysunday afternoon is the afternoon for making soup12:48
nigelbLaney: lol13:20
Laneynigelb: do you know how often production is upgraded?13:35
nigelbLaney: No, but this will help figuring out http://lpqateam.canonical.com/qa-reports/deployment-stable.html13:36
Laneyyeah I know that. It tells me what but not *when*13:36
nigelbright now, nothing's blocking deployment13:36
nigelbSo, soon.13:36
Laneylike I don't know if it's a once a month thing or whatever13:37
Laneydev.lp is hiding the goods somewhere, but I can't find out where13:37
Laneyah well /me carries on being impatient ...13:37
nigelbLaney: Its not once a month.13:38
nigelbits several times a week.13:38
Laneysweet13:38
Laney14700 was friday13:40
nigelbWhen did everything get QA'd?13:41
nigelb(I'm guessing some time today)13:42
Laneydunno13:42
LaneyI don't mind waiting, was just wondering how frequent it is13:42
nigelbLaney: except for db patches, which you have wait since there's only one window at a time, everything eelse is fairly fast after qa-ok.13:47
nigelbthe only trouble is, all revisions in the stack before yours need to be qa-ok as well.13:47

l3onhey guys14:17
l3onI have this unmetdep:14:17
l3onPackage: live-config-sysvinit14:17
l3onVersion: 3.0~a22-1ubuntu114:17
l3onMissing: sysvinit (>= 2.86)14:17
l3onthe problem is in ubuntu sysvinit does not exist, but we have:14:17
l3onBinary: sysvinit-utils, sysv-rc, initscripts14:17
l3onI'm going to change that, which package do you suggest ?14:17
l3onI think initscripts should be fine, 'cause depends on the others two14:18
tumbleweedseeing as Ubuntu uses upstart, why do we need that binary package?14:19
l3onmaybe someone would use sysvinit ?14:20
tumbleweedif we don't have sysvinit, how could they? :)14:20
l3onbut we have : sysvinit-utils, sysv-rc, initscripts14:21
l3onthat come from sysvinit source14:21
Laneywe don't have sysvinit itself14:21
l3onyes now I see14:22
l3onok.. so, drop that package ?14:22
l3onI mean → Package: live-config-sysvinit14:22
tumbleweedor just leave it as uninstallable (but we are already patching it, so might as well dropit)14:22
* l3on tries to drop it14:24
tumbleweedwe could use a better document for referring people to when they ask "what can I do for Ubuntu" (/me tries to avoid writing it)14:30
valterstr:D14:30
valterstrabout me?14:30
tumbleweedin general, but yes14:30
valterstrso... the question, what can I start with?14:31
valterstrbug tracker?14:31
tumbleweedmy usual suggestion is to pick a relatively obscure and un-cared-for package that you use, and tidy it up14:32
valterstrwill look into that...14:32
tumbleweed(by tidy it up, I mean look through the bugtracker, see if we have applied patches that haven't been forwarded upstream, etc)14:33
valterstri understand14:33
valterstrso, in general, look for older bugs that have fixes that have not been merged?14:33
valterstrlaunchpad changed bug page interface recently?14:34
tumbleweedreview operation cleansweep patches? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OperationCleansweep14:34
tumbleweedyes14:34
l3onsince I'm going to propose a merge for live-config, someone would take a look to this ? bug 91387414:34

valterstrok.14:35
valterstrthanks.14:35
valterstrI will start looking through the bug tracker then.14:35
tumbleweedharvest.ubuntu.com also aggregates things that should be looked at14:36
valterstralso, the "pushing upstream through sponsor" thing. could you please explain it in more detail?14:36

tumbleweederr, maybe not14:36
tumbleweedhttp://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess14:36
valterstrhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/SeekingSponsorship14:37

jtaylorl3on: shogun was "fixed" can you update the merge? also check if the hdf5 stuff is ok17:25
jtaylorbtw is there interest in getting the hdf5 transition done in precise too?17:25
jtaylorwould be nice as it includes a couple new helper commands which would ease backporting, but the status does not look very good yet17:26
jtayloralso updating science stuff always takes ages :/17:26
tumbleweedscience stuff tends to be big an dclunky17:29

micahgjtaylor: dh_linktree was already sync'd by cjwatson17:34
jtayloroh good17:34
bkerensatumbleweed: Yeah he also e-mailed me and thanked me but essentially also assigned blame to both Debian and Ubuntu for not keeping up with Upstream heh17:35

Rhondainteresting that someone files a sync request for wesnoth-1.9 when I am preparing wesnoth-1.10 :)19:02
micahgthat's why I subscribed you :)19:02
RhondaAh, you subscribed me. I wonder why it appeared in my mailbox :)19:02
micahglaunchpad should tell you why you got it19:04
micahgalthough I think that message is delayed a bit19:04
RhondaYou have been subscribed to a public bug:19:06
jtayloranyone knowlegable about fonts?19:06
Rhondamicahg: but it doesn't tell by whom.19:06
micahgoh, it used to say by whom19:06
RhondaYou received this bug notification because you are subscribed to wesnoth in Ubuntu.19:06
RhondaAnd that is in the footer.19:07
Rhondamicahg: marked it as wontfix, guess thats acceptable with the reasoning I wrote :)19:11
* Rhonda . o O ( being able to do so on my own without having to ask someone else is the good thing about being a MOTU :) )19:12
micahgyep19:13
micahgwell, it'll still need to be NEW processed, but as long as it's in Debian, that qualifies as the initial package review19:13
RhondaSure19:16
RhondaOne of the reason I keep 1.9 in my PPA is, the last 1.9.14 release is extremely close to the 1.10 release, thus I don't expect any FTBFS or similar issues with it. :)19:17
RhondaThere are just bug fixes and translation updates in between, but 1.9.14 was string frozen and feature frozen (I think feature freeze was upstream at 1.9.10 or such already)19:18
jtaylorthe new launchpad is not working so great :(19:22
jtaylorconstantly oops not found errors19:22
l3onhello there.. where I can find some statistic for precise ?19:24
