| ScottK | pitti (or whoever else might be around to fix it): libboost-graph1.49-dev needs to be in Main to support the transition from 1.46 to 1.49. | 02:58 |
| infinity | ScottK: I don't see it on component-mismatches. | 03:02 |
| ScottK | That's because it'll cause an FTBFS if we use it now. | 03:02 |
| ScottK | Promote it and then we can drop 1.46. | 03:03 |
| infinity | ScottK: Any of the other binaries need promoting? | 03:05 |
| ScottK | Is all of 1.49 in Universe? | 03:05 |
| infinity | (locale, math, random, signals, system, thread, timer, wave, filesystem, date-time, chrono..) | 03:05 |

| hrw | hi | 08:53 |
| hrw | srcpackage1 provides binary1, binary2, binary3. Now I want to create srcpackage2 which will provide binary1 while new upload of srcpackage1 will not provide it anymore. what is proper procedure for it? | 08:55 |
| hrw | new srcpackage1 can be uploaded and published before srcpackage2 as they do not require/conflict each other | 08:55 |
| cjwatson | broder: how about having the tool strip off the backport suffix and then do 'pull-lp-source -d PACKAGE BASEVERSION'? that seems like it should be easy | 10:18 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| cjwatson | hrw: as long as binary1's version monotonically increases all the way through, just do it - no need for anything special | 10:19 |
| hrw | cjwatson: thanks | 10:20 |
| cjwatson | hrw: I'd suggest uploading srcpackage2 first, probably, but it's not mandatory | 10:20 |
| hrw | ok | 10:20 |
| glatzor | cjwatson, pitti hello collin martin. I have seen that you, Collin, already worked on a python3 port of python-software-properties. We have got a circular dependency here: the gtk part requires aptdaemon gtk3 widgets. So I prepared a small upload which would just provide a python3-software-properties (required by aptdaemon) to upload a python3 based aptdaemon | 10:23 |
| glatzor | cjwatson, pitti the branch is located here: lp:~glatzor/software-properties/python3 | 10:24 |
| === zyga_ is now known as zyga | ||
| glatzor | pitti, furthermore python3 aptdaemon would require that the plugins (e.g. of language-selector get ported too). A small problem here is packagekit (the packagekit.enums is used by aptdaemon and plugins): it seems quite difficult to get it ported to python3. So I decided to ship the enums as aptdemon.pkenums in the aptdaemon package temporarily | 10:26 |
| cjwatson | glatzor: just one l in my name :-) OK, I'm not at work today, I'll check tomorrow if pitti hasn't ... | 10:31 |
| glatzor | cjwatson, thanks colin :) | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | I hadn't realised that aptdaemon depended on s-p | 10:32 |
| glatzor | cjwatson, It is actually only a very small part: the apt key interface. so have a nice day. | 10:36 |

| melodie | hi, I would also like to ask a question : how could I get a sponsor to be interested in openbox-menu, which is a very performing program. I have learned to package for Debian and for Ubuntu, just for the purpose of getting it to be adopted officially. I would also want to learn how to package a set of additional files which can be used along with it.K | 13:42 |
| melodie | I have followed all recommended steps so far too. | 13:43 |
| jgtimmer | it's only in unstable since 3rd of may, I tought it was there for over a year and never made it into ubuntu. My bad. Thank you everyone | 13:43 |
| melodie | now I get bunches of mails from the debian-mentors ml | 13:44 |
| melodie | it is here and here : http://mentors.debian.net/package/openbox-menu https://launchpad.net/~meets/+archive/ppa | 13:45 |
| jgtimmer | melodie: Quantal is the codename for the next ubuntu release | 13:57 |
| vibhav | melodie: YOu can get it into your PPA if you want? | 13:57 |
| jgtimmer | I want it in official ubuntu since I'm develloping a program that depends on it, and it's inculsion would make it a lot easier for people using it. | 13:58 |
| jgtimmer | just clarifying... | 13:59 |
| vibhav | ah | 13:59 |

| melodie | nannes, would you know where I could find some devs interested in a openbox desktop project ? | 16:10 |
| melodie | I need help for several things such as how to package files (not program, but addon files) | 16:10 |
| nannes | melodie: hmmmm what kind of project? | 16:10 |
| melodie | I have done openbox versions of a distro during these last years and I have a good recipe for it, so I would like to do the same at Ubuntu now. | 16:11 |
| melodie | I started to cook : learned to make a debian package and sent to mentors and last night to ppa too | 16:11 |
| melodie | a program which allows to have fresh menus all the time, along with configuration files (this I have to do) which can be installed once and tweaked later | 16:12 |
| melodie | I mean can be used as is and tweaked also if the user whishes to do so | 16:12 |
| melodie | it allows having a the equivalent of a full desktop using openbox with a few additional programs | 16:13 |
| melodie | and not the hard way, the easy way. | 16:13 |
| melodie | any idea ? | 16:14 |
| nannes | Dunno if I'm understanding completely (i'm not english), so: you just did a customization of openbox to make it simpler and with some programs which you consider useful, and now you wanna make this compatible with ubuntu by making a deb installation package? | 16:16 |
| melodie | nannes, I have used this program for several years, have gathered relevant config files, adapted them for Ubuntu and Debian, did a package for Debian : is at debian-mentors now, and a package for Ubuntu : is on a ppa now, and I look for someone who will teach me how to do a package out of the configuration files. and also a few more details such as how to add post-install messages. | 16:18 |
| melodie | this is what I need most, and more if there is interest for a Ubuntu Openbox remix project. | 16:19 |
| nannes | hmmmmm sorry I dunno exactly... I'd ask openbox community if were you | 16:20 |
| melodie | nannes, now that you say... probably. | 16:20 |
| nannes | or also, ask big dev communities online, make your project and people will come | 16:21 |
| nannes | google code, github, sourceforge | 16:21 |
| melodie | nannes, I can do that indeed; I am still astonished to see that none can tell me about a howto somewhere which will let me know how to do a simple package with config files ? no need to compile, just package and indicate in which directories it goes and... | 16:26 |
| nannes | aaaaaaaaaah you just need that?? xD | 16:28 |
| melodie | and post install message howto. | 16:28 |
| nannes | I thought it was a compiling problem XD | 16:28 |
| melodie | nannes, yes, that can help me go further | 16:28 |
| nannes | so I can do it, too! Or better, I can link you a good guide to do that. It's about Bash-scripting | 16:28 |
| mneptok | melodie: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete | 16:28 |
| melodie | argh ! bash scripting ! | 16:29 |
| seb128 | you can try http://pkgme.net/README.html | 16:29 |
| melodie | mneptok, thanks. I hope there is a howto for files too in that guide. | 16:29 |
| melodie | seb128, thank you | 16:29 |
| seb128 | yw | 16:29 |
| mneptok | melodie: if there is not, it is only because that guide references the Debian Packaging Guidelines for such info. i'm not sure, as i have not read all those docs. but they should be complete, either self-contained or referentially. | 16:30 |
| melodie | I keep the links, will read the pages ASAP and will come back ask help if there are some things I don't understand. | 16:30 |
| melodie | nannes, what about your guide ? never know it could be another one ? | 16:31 |

| arges | bryceh, hello! was wondering if there is a good basic ubuntu X benchmark for 2d/3d ? I was going to use glxgears and gtkperf... but wanted to check if there was something else that would be helpful. | 17:33 |
| bryceh | arges, oh stay away from glxgears | 17:37 |
| arges | bryceh, : ) ok what do you recommend? just something simple | 17:37 |
| bryceh | arges, what I generally recommend is snag some 3D game and run it with fps display turned on | 17:38 |
| arges | ok. | 17:38 |
| bryceh | arges, if you're looking to use it in an automated testing framework thingee, check out the phoronix test suite; they have collected run scripts for various games | 17:39 |
| arges | bryceh, ok... i think i just need a measuring stick to see... well this performance really is *bad* at more of quantitative than qualitative level | 17:39 |
| * bryceh nods | 17:39 | |
| arges | and the use case is more of regular desktop usage than games | 17:39 |
| arges | thanks | 17:41 |
| bryceh | arges, I don't know offhand if any of the unity code supports fps display but if so that might give you a more accurate measure | 17:41 |
| arges | yea. need to find out if this is on lucid or precise too... | 17:42 |
| bryceh | however the nice thing with games is they generally exercise a fairly broad range of GL operations so the measures tend to be more realistic and actually do have some relevance even for desktop compositing | 17:42 |
| directhex | there's a compiz plugin for FPS | 17:42 |
| arges | bryceh, yea rending some low poly gears probably isn't the best indicator of performance : ) | 17:44 |
| arges | directhex, ok that's good to know. | 17:44 |
| AlanBell | it is the benchmark plugin, then super+F12 to display it | 17:45 |
| AlanBell | not massively useful as compiz doesn't go faster than it needs to | 17:45 |

| barry | dobey: right. what are you looking for? | 21:01 |
| dobey | barry: presumably there is a minimal python3 version to depend on that supports dh_python3, like there is for python2 | 21:01 |
| dobey | would be nice to document what it is exactly :) | 21:02 |
| barry | dobey: i think that field's intended to indicate the minimum python version that the upstream package is compatible with. in general i'm lazy and don't care about anything < 3.2, so i just set it to >= 3.2. | 21:02 |
| dobey | barry: right, but i'd expect it to talk about Build-Depends(-Indep) as well at some point | 21:04 |
| barry | dobey: probably worth it, but it's not come up before. it's a wiki of course so feel free to add it :) | 21:05 |
| dobey | it's also apparently an immutable page, and i don't have an account, which i'd rather not create anyway :) | 21:06 |
| dobey | ah well | 21:06 |
| barry | dobey: if you have suggestions for better info, feel free to email them to me and i'll update the page | 21:07 |
| dobey | and apparently i need to port yet more deps first (yay dependency hell) | 21:07 |

| dobey | well, as a start, it might be good to fold in some info from http://wiki.debian.org/Python/TransitionToDHPython2 or at least link to it. currently there's a link to http://wiki.debian.org/Python/dh_python2 which doesn't exist, though :) | 21:08 |
| barry | dobey: thanks, fixed | 21:10 |
| dobey | why do i always pick the annoying/hard things to do?! | 21:11 |
| dobey | python-testtools has a build-depends on python-fixtures. python-fixtures has a build-depends on python-testtools | 21:11 |
| barry | yay for circular dependencies! | 21:12 |
| dobey | and testtools needs twisted for some tests | 21:15 |
| dobey | yay! | 21:15 |
| dobey | :( | 21:15 |
| infinity | I assume python-fixtures build-deps on python-testtools for a testsuite, so upload python-fixtures without the build-dep and the suite disabled, then python-testtools, then python-fixtures with the suite enabled. | 21:15 |
| infinity | If that guess is incorrect, then... Have fun. ;) | 21:16 |
| infinity | (If it really does end up needing a manual bootstrap, let me know, but I suspect it can be done cleverly like the above) | 21:16 |
| dobey | well, would be nice to just get rid of circular deps | 21:17 |
| infinity | They exist all over, for that sort of reason. | 21:17 |
| dobey | sure, but doesn't mean they should :) | 21:18 |
| infinity | If my wild guess is correct, I'd argue that the circular build-dep absolutely should exist. | 21:18 |
| infinity | You can use DEB_STAGE to make it a non-issue for bootstrap builds, but "not running a testsuite to avoid a circular dep" would be silly. | 21:18 |
| dobey | infinity: the only way i would agree that such a dep *should* exist, is when both pieces are part of the same source. otherwise, i'd say if your tests depend on something which depends on you, your tests are just broken anyway. :) | 21:22 |
| infinity | dobey: That position gets harder and harder to defend when you're testing things like make, shell interpreters, compilers... | 21:24 |
| infinity | dobey: Ultimately, you have to account for that fact that test harnesses need to be made out of, well. Something. | 21:24 |
| dobey | i don't think it's hard to defend at all :) though i do agree there are special cases where it can be more complex, such as with a compiler that eventually gets rewritten into the language it compiles. but random libraries don't really fit into that corner case :) | 21:27 |
| infinity | dobey: Well, unless you insist that python testsuites not be written in python, there's a fair chance that, eventually, there will be a circular dep, unless the testsuite also uses nothing outside of python core. | 21:27 |
| * infinity shrugs. | 21:27 | |
| Bluefoxicy | what | 21:46 |
| Bluefoxicy | I installed Japanese language support and there is no Japanese input in Precise? | 21:46 |
| * Bluefoxicy goes looking through synaptic for the relevant anthy packages :| | 21:47 | |
| Bluefoxicy | ok it's already installed, then ... | 21:48 |
| dobey | oh i am doing something i apparently don't actually need to do exactly. | 22:14 |
| dobey | lifeless: do you know why we're maintaining changes to python-testtools source in ubuntu? | 22:16 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| lifeless | dobey: no idea why; we shouldn't be :) | 22:34 |
| dobey | lifeless: care to update it to 0.9.15 in debian and sync it over to quantal? :) | 22:38 |
| lifeless | dobey: I'm going to hand it over to the python maint team in debian | 22:38 |
| dobey | ah ok | 22:39 |
| lifeless | dobey: what patches are we carrying ? | 22:39 |
| dobey | lifeless: no patches, but maybe a watch file or couple of things. | 22:39 |
| lifeless | oh, so just a different package? Presumably someone updated it post freeze or something | 22:40 |
| lifeless | anything important or can we just splay over it | 22:40 |
| dobey | i don't know if any of it's important or not, but i suspect not | 22:41 |
| dobey | lifeless: and the debian one has python3 support | 22:42 |
| dobey | also looks like debian one has a watch file | 22:43 |
| dobey | doesn't look like debian package is running tests right now, while ubuntu seems to be, but i think we can fix that later, and just replace with the debian version for now | 22:43 |
| dobey | though updating to the new release would be good as well :) | 22:44 |
