Whoopiebroder: Hi, could you perhaps have a look at bug 898003? I added a usbip package to my testing PPA, but I'm not sure if it meets the requirements, especially the version number. Thanks!06:27

hrwhow to mention LP bug number in changelog to not get it closed on upload?08:39
iulianThe bug number without LP in front of it? I haven't tried it but it should work I reckon.08:44
iulianFor instance, `Changes here. #123456'. Or you could also try `Changes here. Bug 123456'.08:45
ubottuLaunchpad bug 123456 in xine-lib (Ubuntu) "podcast crashes amarok" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/12345608:45
iulianI personally use that when I mention upstream bug reports.08:46
mr_pouitor remove Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed from the .changes08:50
arandDoes it not need to be "LP #123456"?08:56

arandSince otherwise it would refer to the Debian BTS..?08:57
arandOh... Nevermind, misread >_<08:58
hrwmr_pouit: thx, will do this09:02
hrwI prefer to not use #bugnumber as I feel that this is for Debian bts09:03
micahghrw: just don't add the colon (i.e. LP #XXXXXX)09:04

tumbleweedLaney: better?09:45
Laneyye, looks good09:46
RhondaAnyone got a hint what's needed when moving a conffile from one package to another one?  I have a gut feeling that having a Replaces isn't enough09:47
Laneypreserving user changes09:48
Laneythere's dpkg-maintscript-helper though09:48
RhondaSure, that's a different topic.09:48
Laneydifferent to "what's needed?"09:48
RhondaBut I have a situation here where the file still seems to be registered with the old package and I wonder why  :/09:48
Laneythere's something to do with conffiles sticking around later than usual09:50
Rhondahmm, in the replaced package there is the snippet about removing the obsolete conffile …09:53
Amozhi, i've got a fix for a bug in Precise, should I just subscribe ubuntu-release to the bug and link my fix (it's in a ppa) to the bug?09:53
Laneydpkg won't remove them for you, yeah09:54
LaneyAmoz: bug fixes don't need release approval, please seek sponsorship as normal09:55
Laneydiff or branch is easier than ppa09:55
AmozLaney, like this? https://launchpadlibrarian.net/100361095/pidgin_1%3A2.10.2-1ubuntu2_1%3A2.10.3-0ubuntu1.diff.gz09:57
Amozhm. I should probably do a debdiff09:58
Laneythat is a seeded package09:58
Amozmeaning?09:59
Laneybut new upstream version → .diff.gz or branch09:59
Laneymeaning that it needs a bit more review09:59
Laneyshould be ok though09:59
Amozit fixes the "contacts not going offline" bug09:59
Laneyyep10:00
Amozokay I'll put it in a branch and propose it10:00
Amozand follow the normal sponsorship process?10:00
Amozsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors to the bug, that's it?10:01
Laneyyeah10:01
Laneymention that you tested it fixes the bug10:02
AmozI will10:02
geserdoes someone remember what the build fix for "rsvg: command not found" was?10:05
jtaylorgeser: use rsvg-convert10:06
jtaylorsee unison10:07
valdur55Hey. I fixed two items on upstream source. What i should do?10:15
geserUbuntu Mobile Edition is gone, right?11:14
ockhamwhat would be the hard deadline for syncing a new version of ocrfeeder (that's not ready yet) which fixes an important bug when using tesseract 3.0? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=66149913:04
ubottuDebian bug 661499 in ocrfeeder "ocrfeeder: Interprets Tesseract's version string as part of the OCRed text" [Normal,Open]13:04
Laneywhy do you want to wait until a hard deadline?13:05
Laneythe sooner the better.13:05
ockhami know -- i've already added a comment to the upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670953 -- but it hasn't been fixed yet, so i thought telling them about a deadline might speed up things ;-)13:07
ubottuGnome bug 670953 in general "Tesseract 3.02 issues" [Major,Resolved: fixed]13:07
ockham(my comment is #12)13:07
valdur55I fixed #972259  and #972205 on upstream version control system. What i should now do? Should i make patch for downstream ?13:08
Laneyockham: the really final deadline is april 2413:09
geservaldur55: if you want to see it fixed now, then yes (instead of waiting till a new upstream release, see it packaged in Debian and synced to Ubuntu)13:09
ockhamLaney: ok. maybe i can think of some comment to ask for a fix for easter...13:10
Laneyyou could take a look at the code yourself :P13:10
hrwok, time to generate arm{el,hf}-cross-toolchain-base 1.80 and upload13:11
ockhamLaney: well, upstream already said he was going to take care of it, and i'd be much slower, i fear...13:11
hrwdone. now all in hands of buildders... (but it built fine in pbuilder here)13:13
ockhamwill it also be possible to sync a new version (0.4.4) of a package (ocropus) whose previous version (0.3.x) has been removed from Precise (due to incompatibilities with tesseract 3.0) until the 24th?13:14
ockham(somewhat similar situation -- the debian maintainer's still working on an FTBFS bug in a dependency...)13:15
Laneypossibly13:16
Laneyit all depends on whether someone can review the fix in time13:17
ockhamwell, i hope it'll get done this weekend, too. if anyone cares, i'm talking about this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=65140213:19
ubottuDebian bug 651402 in src:iulib "iulib: FTBFS: Checking for inflate() in C library tiff... no" [Serious,Open]13:19
hrwockham: does this bug exists also in ubuntu?13:44
ockhamhrw: the iulib one?13:44
hrwyes13:44
ockhamubuntu doesn't have iulib 0.4.x, only 0.3.313:45
hrwok13:45
Laneyyou want us to bring in a new library?13:46
ockhamum, yeah. it's a dependency of ocropus 0.4.413:48
Laneyhrm13:50
ockhamnot good, at this time?13:50
Laneyit has a new SONAME, but apparently no rdepends13:51
Laneymight be ok13:51
ockhamyeah, i figured it was only used by ocropus13:52
ockhamwith ocropus currently not in precise, it'd be pretty much useless, wouldn't it?13:53
Laneyas far as the archive is concerned13:53
Laneyothers may be using it13:53
ockhamtrue13:54
ockhamso i'll hope for that bug to get fixed soonish, then test the new ocropus and file a sync request/FFe?13:54
Laneyhrw: it will exist in ubuntu when the FTBFS is fixed (at least, that is ockham's plan)13:55
Laneyockham: yes, for both packages13:55
ockhamok13:55
hrwproblem may be in scons itself14:01
ockhamwell, as for the FTBFS bug, i think it's largely solved; or do you mean the symbols?14:01
hrwah, right - there was a patch14:02
* hrw shuts up14:03
hrwfor me it looks like test for tiff is broken. It checks for existance of tiff.h (which is fine) and is using 'inflate()' from zlib14:06
hrwhttp://code.google.com/p/iulib/issues/detail?id=27 has fix14:07
valdur55Ok, I made patch with  [ hg diff -g -r r1 -r r2 > fix.patch ] command output is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/917450/ . What next?14:07

EtienneGhello everyone18:13
EtienneGI would like to know if it is too late to request that nsscache 0.21.17-2 be synced from Debian testing18:14
ScottKIf it's a bug fix no.18:14
ScottKIf it's more than that, we can talk.18:15
EtienneGthe version in precise (0.8.8-1) is awfully out of date, and it would be good to fix bug #90170118:15

EtienneG(which is really just cosmetic, but still)18:15
EtienneGScottK, thing is: I am not sure why 0.8.8-1 was brought in precise, given it is so dated (2009)18:16
EtienneGI am neither upstream nor the Debian maintainer, I am just interested in that package18:16
ScottKOK.18:17
ScottKPlease have a look at the changes and see if there's feature changes and if so, file an FFe.18:17
EtienneGScottK, ok, I will file an FFe.  I am just surprised that we didn't synced 0.21.17-2 or -1 (or even 0.21.16-something) in the first place.18:19
EtienneGScottK, actually, it seems like this package was uploaded for the first time in precise.  Would a sync still require an FFe?  That seems overkill.18:21
ScottKEtienneG: Yes.18:21
EtienneGScottK, ok then!18:21
ScottKThat will make it easier to get approved since there's no regression risk, but FFe is still needed.18:22
