KiallHeya, I have a package that installs a config file to /etc, then during the postinit makes some changes to the file based on debconf values. Is there any way to prevent a change to the original config from asking to user to compare the differences etc when upgrading.12:00
KiallIe - If the only changes to the installed file were made by the postinit, just go ahead and replace it12:00
KiallI'm thinking there might be a way to mark it as "original" after the changes are postinit are complete12:01
Zhenechsave the md5/sha1 of the postinst'ed file somewhere12:01
KiallZhenech, dpkg itself is what does the comparison etc.. I would imagine I have to involve dpkg..12:02
Zhenech       ucf - Update Configuration File:  preserve user changes in configuration files12:02
Zhenechthat might help?12:02
KiallThat sounds like its along the right lines..12:02
KiallWill have a look at it now12:03
vibhavpMahar which is packaged in Ubuntu is hosted in Launchpad. I was going through thier bug tracker at https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara and saw many bugs which were fixed upstream. So I wonder if I can prepare a Ubuntu Delta with these fixes? Would it be sensible to do that?12:28

pabelangerMorning MOTU, I just created a FFe (bug 967195) to fix bug 965484.  #ubuntu-release would first like somebody from MOTU to make a comment on the issue before they move it to triage, to confirm this is the direction we want to take.15:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 967195 in ruby-rack (Ubuntu) "FFe: Sync ruby-rack 1.4.0-1 (universe) from Debian wheezy (main)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/96719515:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 965484 in redmine (Ubuntu) " redmine : Depends: ruby-rack (>= 1.4.0) but 1.3.5-1 is to be installed " [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/96548415:18
pabelangerUntil then, redmine is broken in Precise15:18
tumbleweedpabelanger: jdstrand synced it, I'd soclicit a comment from him15:30
pabelangertumbleweed: how can I check out did the sync?  Where did you find that info?15:31
pabelangers/out/out who/15:31
tumbleweedpabelanger: it's not visible on LP yet15:31
pabelangerO I C15:31
tumbleweedI looked at the precise-changes list archive15:31
pabelangerroger15:31
tumbleweedhe broke it, he can fix it :P15:32
tumbleweed(assuming it was installable before the sync)15:32
pabelangerOkay cool, and ya it was working before the sync15:32
tumbleweedLaney: weren't you going to fix LP for us? :)15:34
* tumbleweed wonders if we need a who-synced tool15:34
micahgtumbleweed: more like who-"uploaded"15:36
tumbleweedmicahg: who-uploaded is a Debian thing15:37
tumbleweedalso, LP shows us that for real uploads, just not syncs15:37
tumbleweedbut yes, if one's going to writea tool, do it properly...15:37
Laneyit should be easy enough to fix LP for that, yes16:05
Laneyi just never learned how to make UI changes16:05
tumbleweednigelb: ^16:06
Laneysounds like a UDS task16:07
stefancthow likely would a sync request be completed for 12.04 for http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/serna-free.html ?16:13
stefanctlong story about its (re)introduction to debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=53582816:14
ubottuDebian bug 535828 in wnpp "ITP: serna -- XML editor" [Wishlist,Open]16:14
tumbleweedif it builds and runs on precise, pretty likely16:15
tumbleweedyou do need to apply for an FFe, though16:15
micahgwas only in maverick/natty, so not a regression from lucid, up to the release team like tumbleweed :)16:16
stefanctok, thank you16:17
stefancti guess no one wants to beat me to testing and filing the ffe? :)16:18
stefanctbbl16:19
tumbleweedstefanct: it would also need to be unblacklisted16:20
tumbleweedstefanct: it doesn't build16:21
wookeyIf I have a package that is foo-0.2build1 in ubuntu and I change it. should it become foo-0.2build1ubuntu1 or foo-0.2ubuntu1 ?16:37
wookeyI'm guessing the latter...16:38
micahgwookey: yes, the latter16:38
wookeycheers16:38
micahgwookey: so long as the debian version is actually 0.2 :)16:39

jtaylorwe should remove blcr from precise, it cannot work with the kernel and ic collects millions of bugs even though there are bug patterns17:27
jtaylorhm why is the but pattern broken oO still looks ok17:33
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
stefancttumbleweed: oh :/ thanks a lot for checking!20:00
tumbleweedI fired up a build assuming that I'd be reviewing an FFe later...20:00
stefanct:)20:01
stefanctwhat does not work?20:02
tumbleweedstefanct: http://people.ubuntu.com/~stefanor/tmp/serna-free_4.3.0.20110221-7_amd64.build20:03
nigelbLaney: UI changes shouldn't be too hard.20:13
stefancttumbleweed: thank you. i have reported that upstream. (since debian patches do not touch that apparently... which makes me wonder why it works for them though :)20:35
