micahgRhonda: did you test build ejabberd before syncing it?06:34
* ajmitch syncs another package (yes, test-built locally)06:41
* micahg hugs ajmitch06:43
ajmitchI've still got a lot of catching up to do :)06:43
ajmitchstill a lot on http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/bugs/rcbugs/ to check over though06:45
micahgyeah, oneiric seems to still be the default there06:48
ajmitchshouldn't be, I changed it06:48
* micahg was going to skim for new version RC bug fixes06:48
micahgah, is fixed now, thanks06:48
ajmitchwas a recent fix :)06:48
ajmitchsmokeping needs a sync, open CVE06:48
ajmitchpatiently waiting for pbuilder to process ftpmirror :)06:49
* micahg test builds chromium in a clean chroot before uploading06:49
* micahg plans to do another run through the upgrade-software-version bugs tomorrow night to see what can be updated quickly06:53
ajmitchI saw a merge of pbuilder waiting in ~ubuntu-sponsors06:54
ajmitchit's nice when a debian NMU references an LP bug as well, will a sync using syncpackage automatically close that?07:17
micahgI think so, although, I don't remember the final outcome of that discussion07:18
ajmitchI'll try it & see07:18

ajmitchso at least people aren't havng to wait very long07:24
ajmitchmicahg: I see what you mean about ejabberd - I was looking at some other build fallout bugs from the erlang transition in debian, might be a little late to do that for precise :)07:25
ajmitchhttp://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=653966 was the bug I was looking at - the removal of patches because of a newer erlang got me a bit worried about just syncing it07:27
ubottuDebian bug 653966 in yaws "yaws cross site scripting" [Serious,Fixed]07:27
Rhondamicahg: duh, the new erlang not in precise, right  %-/07:33
Rhondamicahg: So actually, it would need a sourceful upload with dropping the versioned b-d on erlang (reverting git commit c352294)07:34
Rhonda.. erlang transition in precise is out of scope, right? :)07:35
ajmitchRhonda: I'm sure there's plenty of time to get it done :)07:36
RhondaI am not that deeply involved in erlang besides ejabberd, and I am uncertain about the required impact07:36
ajmitchI think it has potential for a lot of small problems07:37
ajmitchhttp://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2011/12/msg00296.html doesn't look too bad though07:38
Rhondaajmitch: jep, that fix is in ejabberd, and it got uploaded to unstable in debian in the meantime :)07:43
* ajmitch would be more worried about couchdb07:43
philipballewQuestion: to package a deb for debian/Ubuntu, how much actual coding/programing is required? I have herd different things from different people.07:43
ajmitchphilipballew: "it depends"07:44
ajmitchit's possible to package something with barely touching a thing07:44
ajmitchor you may have to end up digging into the code & writing patches to solve some problems07:45
Rhondaajmitch: couchdb got binNMUed and I am not aware of any serious bugreports because of the transition07:45
ajmitchthis is why you hear different things from different people, the packages are different :)07:45
ajmitchRhonda: ubuntu's couchdb is still stuck at 1.0.107:46
ajmitchdebian has 1.1.107:46
Rhondaright07:46
Rhondawell, I will do a sourceful upload for ejabberd then, dropping the version07:46
broderi'm pretty sure that our couchdb is just a little bit of conffile testing away from being at 1.1.107:46
ajmitchok :)07:46
Rhondaand when you decide to bring e15 into the boat, you always can issue a build1 package :)07:46
ajmitchbroder: you've managed to dig through that MP?07:47
broderi did, and when all's said and done i'm actually satisfied with it07:47
ajmitchgreat07:47
broderexcept that jderose's updates move a conffile between packages, and i want somebody to test whether or not that's going to trigger a conffile conflict07:48
philipballewthank you07:49
* ajmitch does not have a current precise VM for testing, but how bad can it break my laptop? :)07:49
* broder disclaims all repsonsibility for the state of ajmitch's laptop07:49
ajmitchbtw, that bug was closed with syncpackage07:50
micahgcool, that's the way it should be :)07:50
Rhondaajmitch: 2.1.10-2ubuntu1 would be the proper version, right?07:51
ajmitchRhonda: yep07:52
Rhondaajmitch: So, can I just dput ubuntu, or would it need to go through some approval?07:53
RhondaGuess I just dput because I am MOTU, but this is my first sourceful upload :)07:54
ajmitchyou're in MOTU, it's in universe07:54
ajmitchshould be fine07:54

ajmitchas we said, what can possibly go wrong? :)07:55

ockhamhi, i'd like to merge scribus from sid, but i'm a bit confused about merging documentation at the wiki. i'm not a motu, so do i just file a merge request at launchpad? or also build a merged version and upload it to REVU?15:10
geserockham: first you don't need REVU for a merge15:12
ockhamgeser: okay; but i'm not a MOTU, so if I do work on the package, how make it available for upload?15:12
geseryou can only file a merge request once you have a branch in LP which is ready to get merged (sponsored)15:13
tumbleweedockham: provide a debdiff (against debian) or a bzr branch15:13
geser"provide a debdiff" = file a bug and attach the debdiff to it15:13
ockhamok, i'll try that15:13
tumbleweedockham: btw, don't forget we have feature freeze tomorrow evening. work fast :)15:14
geseror merge a package which doesn't introduce new features15:14
tumbleweedor request an exception, if the new features are important15:15
ockhami think it's quite straight-forward, so i shouldn't take too long15:15
ockhamoops, scribus is in main. is that a problem?15:18
tumbleweedockham: no15:19
geserockham: it shouldn't matter for you if you need a core-dev or a MOTU as sponsor15:21
ockhamyikes. just tried debdiff on debian's and ubuntu's .dsc files, and as debian has a new upstream version, that's quite long.15:22
ockhamubuntu has an RC for 1.4.0, debian a post-1.4.0 svn revision15:23
ockhamwill that be a problem?15:23
ockhamthe reason i'd like to update is that some relevant bugs got fixed by upstream in between...15:23
ockhamtumbleweed, geser: ^15:25
tumbleweedockham: the version in ubuntu is based on a previous version from debian15:26
tumbleweedcompare against that15:26
tumbleweed(or just grab diffs from mom (merges.ubuntu.com, see grab-merge)15:26
ockhamtumbleweed: ok, i'm not sure i'm getting this right. the merge request will require a debdiff from the debian version i'd like to base it on, right?15:31
ockhamand grab-merge complains that there is not entry for scribus on m.u.c15:31
tumbleweedockham: yes, that's usually the easiest diff to review15:32
ockhamtumbleweed: but in my case, it will contain a long list of upstream changes15:32
tumbleweedok, MoM was recently broken and is probably still catching up15:33
tumbleweederr, a merge shouldn't end up wit ha long list of upstream changes15:33
tumbleweedthe diff should show the desired changes between debian and ubuntu15:33
ockhambut what if, as in this case, debian is based on a newer upstream version?15:34
tumbleweedso provide a diff from that15:34
ockhamtumbleweed: hm, makes sense15:34
tumbleweedhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging15:35
tumbleweedI think MoM is also currently running against wheezy (our default sync source) not sid15:35
tumbleweed(our default sync source for LTSs)15:36
geserockham: grab the current delta (mom or from packages.qa.debian.org), apply it on the new debian version (and check if those changes are still needed or perhaps also fixed in debian/upstream), generate new debdiff for you patched version (compare to the unpatched debian version)15:37
ockhamgeser: that sounds good, i'll try it15:37
geserthat's what MoM does (without the checking, that left for the merger)15:38
=== al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away
geserit's not black magic :)15:39
ockhamgeser: ok, i've tried to apply http://patches.ubuntu.com/s/scribus/scribus_1.4.0.dfsg~rc3+svn20110401-1.1ubuntu1.patch to the current debian source, but patch -p 1 fails -- and it's not obvious to me, why, as the .rej files look quite feasible15:43
tumbleweedockham: pull-lp-source -d scribus && pull-debian-source -d scribus 1.4.0.dfsg~rc3+svn20110401-1.1 && debdiff ....15:45
ockhamtumbleweed: same result. the debdiff that line produces is probably the same as the one found on patches.ubuntu.com, no?15:52
tumbleweedyes, it should be15:53
ockhamwell it fails :-(15:53
tumbleweedso, yes, the patch probably won't apply cleanly, they almost never will15:53
ockhamyeah, but it's strange -- see e.g. http://paste.ubuntu.com/843180/ for changelog.rej15:54
tumbleweedthere'll be a new changelog entry in debian, that clashes with the ubuntu one15:54
tumbleweedso, I was wrong, not "almost never will", "never will"15:55
ockhamok, so it's copy-pasting stuff from the patch to those files.15:56
ockhamoh well, not so trivial after all...15:56
ockhami'll probably get back to it later...15:57
ockhamthx so far!15:57
