geserin case you want to look at the cause06:45
geserand is the email address in that error message still correct?06:46
RhondaHmm, same here.06:46
RhondaErm, no.06:46
RhondaNo clue where that comes from.06:46
RhondaChanged it in conf/apache.conf to rhonda@ubuntu.com  (should look better ;))06:52
Rhonda\o/  apache logs are mode 644 :)06:53
eagles0513875_hey Rhonda is there a channel for the ubuntu documents?06:54
Rhonda"the ubuntu documents"?06:54
eagles0513875_there is an issue with the dovecot documentation on the 12.04 portion of the wiki06:55

eagles0513875_thanks bobweaver  :)06:55
RhondaIf I would know an answer I would state so, even without a specific hilight.06:55
eagles0513875_ok06:56

aboudreaultHi11:45
aboudreaultI would need this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/debootstrap11:46
aboudreaultbut 500 :(11:46
Zhenechaboudreault, why not fetch it directly from a mirror?11:47
Zhenechhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debootstrap/11:47
aboudreaultZhenech, thanks!11:48
Zhenechdebootstrap_1.0.40~precise1_all.deb is what you are looking for11:48
Zhenechmay I ask why you didnt fetch it via apt directly?11:48
aboudreaultZhenech, well. I just install that package manually in  oneiric machine... to be able to do a pbuilder precise amd64 create11:49
aboudreaultdoesn't seem to have worked though ;) It worked before using cowbuilder11:49
geserdebootstrap from oneiric should know about precise (according to changelog)11:50
aboudreaultnot sure if I need to update pbuilder11:50
aboudreaultUnknown distribution: precise11:50
tsimpsonprecise11:50
tsimpsonoops, I mean: it does know precise (I have it on oneiric)11:51
aboudreaultnot why it doesn't work then..11:51
geseraboudreault: can you pastebin the whole error you get?11:52
Zhenechpaste the whole error to pastebin11:52
Zhenechgeser, !11:52
Zhenech:)11:52
aboudreaulthttp://pastebin.com/gGAgqK8B11:52
tsimpsonwhat version of debootstrap do you currently have installed?11:53
aboudreaultit's the version of precise now11:53
aboudreaultahh I think I remember11:54
Zhenechaboudreault, what the contents of your /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/?11:55
Zhenechis there a "precise" file?11:55
aboudreaulthttp://pastebin.com/RT9TwgZv11:56
aboudreaultno, umm11:56
aboudreaultI think the file I installed wasn't the proper one11:57
aboudreaultdated of 05-1111:57
Zhenechneither you have oneiric etc11:57
tsimpsonyou don't even have intrepid11:58
aboudreaultZhenech, I think the package you pointed me was an old one11:58
aboudreaultlet me reinstall the oneiric one11:58
tsimpson!info debootstrap11:58
ubottudebootstrap (source: debootstrap): Bootstrap a basic Debian system. In component main, is extra. Version 1.0.39 (precise), package size 34 kB, installed size 224 kB11:58
aboudreaulthaa,, looks better11:59
aboudreaultit works. creation in process.11:59

CareBear\hello! I'd like to get a backport going. I'm upstream for libusb and the new release we have since a while fixes lots of problems that would be good to get out to as many users as possible.18:15
micahgCareBear\: hmm, libraries are a bit harder since they usually have reverse dependencies, are you on precise?18:15
CareBear\I'm actually not a ubuntu user at all (so far)18:15
micahgah, ok18:16
CareBear\reading further, I see that perhaps I should exploit SRU instead - since the old version actually has some bad bugs too18:16
micahgthis is for 1.0?18:16
CareBear\yes18:16
micahgwell, if you want to fix specific bugs, SRU is the way to go, if you need new feature, backports would be appropriate, so, for backports, one needs to get someone to install/run all the reverse dependencies with the new package installed that built successfully on the older release18:17
CareBear\would the SRU ever jump straight to the new upstream release, or only ever add bugfix patches on top of the original version in the release?18:19
CareBear\testing all packages that depend on the library may not be really feasible.. I'm not sure.. it might depend on how thorough that testing must be18:21
micahgCareBear\: usually just add bugfix patches unless there's a compelling reason to jump to the new upstream version (i.e. current version is totally broke and not easily fixable)18:21
micahgCareBear\: just that the package installs and runs (for backports)18:21
micahgCareBear\: are you thinking to backport libusb 1.0?18:21
CareBear\1.0.9 right18:21
CareBear\it is API and ABI backwards compatible with what has been released so far, but I understand that my word for this is not so much to go on :)18:22
micahgis this for precise or lucid?18:23
CareBear\as many as possible!18:23
=== jbicha_ is now known as jbicha
CareBear\I don't know what the ubuntu version stats are like in terms of users, but my wish is for as many as possible to have the newest version18:24
micahgCareBear\: backporting to lucid should be fairly straightforward, but nothing would use it by default since that version wasn't available18:24
CareBear\I guess lucid is more important than natty or oneiric18:25
CareBear\but a backported package would show up in the package manager and users could grab it manually?18:26
micahgfor precise, as it already has rc3, you might consider SRUing important bugs18:27
micahgCareBear\: yes, it shows up as a drop down in software center18:27
CareBear\rc3 is actually fine for precise18:27
CareBear\that doesn't have to be updated, the bugs are fixed and it has the most important features of 1.0.918:28
micahga backport to lucid would be fine (assuming it builds and we would just need someone to do an install/run test of it), anyone wishing to use it though would need to rebuild packages against it18:29
CareBear\really? new version remains ABI compatible18:30
broderLaney, tumbleweed, micahg: btw, the rebackporter did get imported into harvest: http://harvest.ubuntu.com/opportunities/?opp.list=rebackports&pkg=18:30
micahgbroder: cool18:30
CareBear\micahg : I could also try to get some SRU in that will make a few revdeps pull the backport, yes?18:30
CareBear\micahg : the backported version e.g. fixes pretty bad usability problems for smart card users18:31
micahgCareBear\: I suppose we could backport some packages to build against it (they'd need the same testing as a normal backport and need to fit the backport requirements)18:31
CareBear\(revdep is the ccid package)18:31
micahgyeah, that has only one reverse dependency in lucid, so that should be easy (assuming someone can test it and it builds)18:32
CareBear\given cluestick I could test in VMs, or try to motivate others18:33
micahgVM testing would be fine18:34
CareBear\oops. http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libccid throws 500 at me18:34
micahgyeah, there's a problem with the site ARM18:35
micahg*ATM18:35
micahghttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ccid18:35
broderhmm, you can't open merge proposals against +junk repos, right?18:35
micahgright (well, last I checked)18:36
CareBear\how do you feel about "faking" a specific version dependency to ensure that a bugfree library gets installed, even if a reverse dependency will somehow work (but buggy) also with an older version?18:38
CareBear\in a way it's not wrong, because the newer version is the first that has issues fixed..18:38
CareBear\in another way it's not like the API is any different18:39
micahgumm, not quite sure what you mean by that18:40
CareBear\I'll gather some data and clarify18:41
CareBear\how do I see deps for ccid ?18:43
CareBear\found it18:43
CareBear\hm no that didn't work out. rts18:44
CareBear\lucid has ccid-1.3.11-1 but that isn't using libusb-1.0 at all, so no SRU there18:44
bobweaverHello there I am making a package for ubuntu server and the upsource code was real bad re-righting apache ect I have now re-wrote the files and what too see if there is a better way to write this into the package. the bug is located here https://bugs.launchpad.net/zpanelcp/+bug/996282   Code is located here http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~josephjamesmills/zpanelcp/zpanelcp/files/head:/etc/zpanel/configs/apache/      I will be trying too pu18:45

ubottuLaunchpad bug 996282 in Zpanel cp X "Turning on zpanel should not re-write /etc/apache2/apache2.conf" [High,Triaged]18:45
bobweavermy idea is too write into postinst and have it install the "site/controlpanel"  to /var/www18:47
bobweaverand not overwrite the apache.conf18:47
