| dholbach | hey pitti, so the translations in /opt problem was not a gtk problem after all? | 07:41 |
| pitti | dholbach: I didn't hear any news about this since yesterday | 07:42 |
| dholbach | pitti, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676543#c4 | 07:42 |
| ubottu | Gnome bug 676543 in GtkBuilder "Cannot load translations from a locale dir other than the default" [Normal,Resolved: invalid] | 07:42 |
| dholbach | seems we need to document it properly, so apps authors know how to special-case shipping in /opt :-/ | 07:43 |
| pitti | ah :) | 07:44 |
| pitti | what a bad trap to fall into | 07:44 |
| pitti | I thought gettext.bindtextdomain() would actually set it in glibc | 07:44 |
| dholbach | yeah, it's a bit unpleasant | 07:45 |
| alexbligh1 | When building a package, what is the approved dh_ method of installing files with an owner other than root? | 09:07 |
| alexbligh1 | (specifically in this case into /etc) | 09:07 |
| pitti | alexbligh1: call dh_fixperms with some -X options to ignore these files | 09:11 |
| alexbligh1 | pitti, thanks | 09:11 |
| pitti | alexbligh1: haven't (recently) tested that myself, but it ought to work | 09:11 |
| pitti | alexbligh1: HOWEVER | 09:11 |
| pitti | alexbligh1: this is only valid if the files you ship are owned by a static system user, i. e. uid < 100 | 09:12 |
| alexbligh1 | pitti, but how do I get them owned by non-root in the first place? | 09:12 |
| pitti | alexbligh1: for a dynamic system user (created with add_user), you need a postinst which calls chown for you | 09:12 |
| alexbligh1 | (it's www-data) | 09:12 |
| pitti | ok, www-data is a static one, that works | 09:12 |
| alexbligh1 | Currently I am doing a chown -R in my postinst, but I worry that when I next install the package, it will think the user has changed the perms, and not update the file. | 09:13 |
| pitti | alexbligh1: chown? | 09:13 |
| alexbligh1 | owner | 09:13 |
| alexbligh1 | yes | 09:13 |
| === oppenguin is now known as oppenguins | ||
| alexbligh1 | pitti, ah, dh_fixperms is permissions. I need *owner* | 09:13 |
| pitti | alexbligh1: yes, what I said; your "make install" or whatever chowns them to www-data, and then you tell dh_fixperms to not change it back to root | 09:14 |
| pitti | alexbligh1: dh_fixperms sets files to root:root by default | 09:14 |
| alexbligh1 | is the chown in postinst safe? Or might it have problems as set out above in upgrading? chown seems far easier | 09:15 |
| pitti | alexbligh1: you should check dpkg-statoverride if you reapply them on upgrade | 09:16 |
| pitti | alexbligh1: but you can just call chown if [ -z "$2" ], i. e. on first install | 09:16 |
| alexbligh1 | pitti, thanks | 09:17 |
| apw | pitti, hey ... have we manually overridden the ddeb remover? it seems that the natty release kernel ddebs are gone? | 09:49 |
| pitti | apw: yes; we again ran out of space :/ | 09:50 |
| pitti | and since the RT to add more is still pending, I needed some drastic measures :( | 09:50 |
| pitti | otherwise we would have lost quantal | 09:50 |
| pitti | so we now have lucid, oneiric, precise, and quantal | 09:51 |
| Daviey | pitti: does the RT have suitable levels of priority attached to it? | 09:51 |
| apw | pitti, should we need them does IS have them on backup somewhere ? | 09:52 |
| smb | Like lava-hot-burning-ass ? | 09:52 |

| diwic | apw / pitti, can't we just rebuild the package with pkg-create-dbgsym installed? | 10:04 |
| diwic | If there's a particular package we desperately need it for. | 10:05 |
| apw | diwic, perhaps, am trying it now, but th | 10:05 |
| apw | the old 3.x/2.6.x issue is biting me as the kernel is sooooo old | 10:05 |
| apw | infinity, when we did --uname-2.6 stuff did schroot gain a personality type for it too ? | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | apw: setarch x86_64 --uname-2.6 schroot ... # ? | 10:26 |
| cjwatson | I guess that's less convenient than schroot knowing for itself | 10:26 |
| apw | cjwatson, yeah, the chroot kind knows for 32bit so it seems orthoganal to have it inside but yes linux64 --uname-2.6 seems to work ok for me | 10:27 |
| cjwatson | I don't see support for any of the personality options in schroot, anyway | 10:30 |
| jamespage | vibhav: (late response) I don't think that bug is effected by the perl version - just the memory monitor one we did for precise | 10:44 |
| Caribou | apw: pitti: what's the best way / less disruptive way to mirror an archive ? | 11:10 |
| Caribou | the kernel ddebs are only 120Gb, I'll make a copy somewhere | 11:10 |
| pitti | Caribou: debmirror is reasonably easy to use and quite robust, AFAIK | 11:11 |
| pitti | I had used it years ago, but not recently | 11:11 |

| zul | its also blocking some SRUs as well | 13:21 |
| dobey | oi i need to do some MIRs | 13:24 |
| mterry | zul, OK. What's the SRU connection? | 13:24 |
| zul | mterry: dwarves-dfsg is libvirt and python-jsonschema, python-repoze.lru (new deps for python-routes) is glance related | 13:25 |
| pitti | mterry: speaking about MIRs, are you aware that your openal-soft merge introduced quite a few new universe deps? | 13:25 |
| mterry | pitti, aw darn it. I forgot to check for that | 13:27 |
| pitti | I created some MIRs for many other universe deps after the intial debian syncs/merges, and also dropped a few dependencies | 13:28 |
| mterry | zul, sorry, am still confused. Why does an SRU for precise care which component a quantal package is in | 13:28 |
| zul | mterry: because we need to fix glance in quantal in order to start an SRU for it and its blocked on jsonschema not being in main, and python-repoze.lru being a new build deps for python-routes | 13:29 |
| mterry | zul, OK, can start looking now | 13:31 |

| smoser | but i then realize its not actually a resolvconf issue, but really more network manager's issue | 13:41 |
| stgraber | smoser: yeah, that has to do with the way dnsmasq balances the requests between the servers, I believe it mostly happens when the secondary servers answer faster than the primary one | 13:42 |
| smoser | well, its a generic issue. not related to speed really. | 13:43 |
| stgraber | well, in theory dnsmasq will send the request to the server with the lowest latency, so if you primary server is the fastest one, you'll get the right record back | 13:44 |

| slangasek | seb128: why is friday a concern for pushing to -proposed? (not that I don't think we shouldn't get them out ASAP) | 14:47 |
| seb128 | slangasek, "I'm there for too long", "french paranoia", "pick something that doesn't make sense to others" :p | 14:48 |
| seb128 | slangasek, basically just me being paranoid about friday uploads | 14:48 |
| slangasek | seb128: well... it's -proposed, we don't require or warrant them to be regression-free at that point :) | 14:49 |
| seb128 | right, I still like to be around and to be able to deal with any issue if there would happen to be one | 14:49 |

| seb128 | SpamapS, the other desktopish ones from me have lower priority | 14:52 |
| seb128 | SpamapS, (bamf is included in the "unity update set" btw) | 14:52 |

| tseliot | pitti: yes, that's just for testing things locally | 15:43 |
| pitti | tseliot: "GError: Query type 'modalias' is not supported" means that the PackageKit plugin crashed; I'll try to get a better error message out of that | 15:44 |

| cjohnston | cjwatson: it should be brought up for discussion during the release meeting | 16:25 |
| cjohnston | it needs some love | 16:25 |
| cjohnston | i most likely wont be there for it, but pitti seb128 and skaet are all aware of the issue | 16:25 |

| pitti | good night everyone! | 16:34 |
| mterry | zul, hiyo. In python-jsonschema, you write that it's "An(other) implementation of JSON Schema". Are there others? Presumably none in main yet? | 16:40 |
| zul | none in main yet | 16:41 |
| mterry | zul, your patch for repoze.lru just comments out the tests, which doesn't seem like a real fix. Do we know why they are failing? | 17:02 |
| zul | mterry: no they work fine locally but not in the buildds | 17:03 |
| mterry | zul, if they are provably bogus failures, that's one thing (and the patch should document why), but it's not clear these are completely bad tests (or at least, just need some grease to work in the buildd). | 17:05 |
| zul | mterry: so document the patch and try to get a real fix later? | 17:06 |
| mterry | zul, I meant the patch should document why the tests are provably bogus. We don't have enough information to document it one way or the other | 17:08 |
| mterry | zul, I'd like either a real fix or a real explanation for why they are failing in buildd and why it's OK to ignore them | 17:09 |
| zul | mterry: i dont have enough information for you why they are failing but this is blocking python-routes which is blocking glance f1 | 17:09 |
| zul | and i dont have enough experience with repose.lru either | 17:11 |
| mterry | zul, so once you get this in main, you update glance, and then how does that work with precise? You're not moving python-repoze.lru in precise, right? | 17:13 |
| zul | mterry: no we arent just quantal | 17:14 |
| mterry | zul, so you're selectively backporting parts of glance to precise? But you still need the version update in quantal before you backport? | 17:14 |
| zul | mterry: yes and yes | 17:15 |
| zul | but repoze.lru is not a requirement for precise | 17:15 |
| mterry | zul, can your team commit to fixing the test stuff before alpha 1? (I'm OK with waving my hands at the tests for now, but they shouldn't stay broken) | 17:16 |
| mterry | (and by fix, it may just mean explaining why buildd's can't reasonably run those tests) | 17:17 |
| zul | mterry: yes i can commit to fix the test stuff before alpha1 | 17:18 |
| mterry | zul, cool. I'll file a bug for that and assign it to the server team (or you?) | 17:18 |
| zul | mterry: preferably me :) | 17:18 |
| mterry | zul, cool, approved that one then. Just the dwarves one has problems then, I believe | 17:23 |
| zul | mterry: yeah ill have a look after im done here | 17:29 |
| henrix | pitti: any chance of having someone looking at kernel linux-ec2: 2.6.32-345.48 ? | 17:30 |
| hallyn | slangasek: regarding /dev/shm (set up by initscripts), I notice that sid has /dev/shm as a bind mount of /run/shm; precise has it as a symlink. Is that difference intended? | 17:31 |
| hallyn | (it affects whether sid's initscripts postinst can be deemed broken or not) | 17:31 |
| henrix | pitti: we have the next kernel ready to upload, but we can't do it before this one is moved away from proposed | 17:31 |
| slangasek | hallyn: a bind mount? surely that's only in a chroot? | 17:32 |
| hallyn | nope | 17:32 |
| hallyn | amazon ami | 17:32 |
| slangasek | hallyn: or prior to the first reboot? | 17:32 |
| slangasek | er | 17:32 |
| slangasek | then I think the ami was built wrong | 17:32 |
| hallyn | feh | 17:32 |
| slangasek | the bind mount is supposed to be a temporary "until next reboot" measure in the upgrade handling | 17:33 |
| slangasek | after which it should be replaced by a symlink on shutdown | 17:33 |
| hallyn | hm. lemme look through its init | 17:34 |
| hallyn | yeah maybe i need to reboot the ami | 17:36 |
| hallyn | except of course it doesn't want to reboot | 17:39 |
| === adrient is now known as finch | ||
| hallyn | slangasek: phew, right you are. (for some reason after reboot /proc didn't get mounted, but I'll assume that's not my problem for now - instance badness) | 17:43 |
| hallyn | so /dev/shm after reboot -> /run/shm. | 17:43 |

| cjwatson | Auto-sync from unstable in progress, as agreed at UDS | 17:54 |
| bryceh | seb128, it scans for mentions of 'lucid' or '10.04' in description or comments (think it may look in attachments too.) Certainly it isn't foolproof | 18:00 |
| seb128 | bryceh, ok, the bug description says "it was working on 10.04 but it's not on 12.04" so I guess that's it | 18:02 |
| seb128 | bryceh, you don't use the same logic to tag "precise" if 12.04 is mentioned? | 18:02 |
| bryceh | seb128, yeah that type of description will get it doubletagged. | 18:04 |
| seb128 | bryceh, well it got only tagged "lucid" in this case | 18:04 |
| seb128 | bryceh, i.e no precise tagging | 18:04 |
| bryceh | seb128, it should use the same logic for tagging precise; if it isn't then that's a bug. point me at the bug report and I'll investigate when I get a chance | 18:05 |

| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| alexbligh1 | pitti, sorry to bother you again with what I was asking earlier. If I install a .deb with conffiles with owner root, then in my postinst chown www-data those files, then at some later date install an upgraded version of the package, will it treat those conffiles as changed (and thus not reinstall them) or will it leave them as it is? | 18:20 |
| alexbligh1 | s/leave them as it is/install the new versions/ | 18:20 |
| alexbligh1 | I'm reading this: "Note that a package should not modify a dpkg-handled conffile in its maintainer scripts" <- does this only apply to the contents of conffiles, or also their permissions? | 18:22 |
| slangasek | alexbligh1: generally applies only to the contents | 18:27 |
| mterry | dupondje, btw, doing your bug now. Thanks for the patch! | 18:28 |
| mterry | dupondje, uploaded to quantal, working on SRU for 12.04 | 18:28 |
| alexbligh1 | slangasek, so I am safe to chown conffiles in my postinst? I'm just wondering whether I should should be doing override_dh_install and a chown there at build time... | 18:29 |
| === robert_mac is now known as robertk_away | ||
| === robertk_away is now known as 16SAA9EKO | ||
| slangasek | alexbligh1: files are stored in the .deb by numeric uid and you can't rely on that being the same on the build system and target system (sometimes you can't rely on the user existing at all on the build system) | 18:30 |
| slangasek | well... www-data is actually an exception | 18:31 |
| slangasek | because it's in /usr/share/base-passwd/passwd.master :) | 18:31 |
| slangasek | so actually, yes, you can chown them in the package | 18:31 |
| alexbligh1 | slangasek, may be override dh_fixperms then, and do a chown www-data:www-data $(CURDIR)/debian/$(package)/etc/foo | 18:32 |
| alexbligh1 | ? | 18:32 |
| slangasek | alexbligh1: yep, that works in principle | 18:33 |
| slangasek | though, I do have to ask, why is www-data supposed to be able to write to these files? | 18:33 |
| slangasek | we generally try hard to *not* let web apps write their own configs | 18:33 |
| slangasek | since that tends to lead to security problems rather quickly | 18:33 |
| alexbligh1 | slangasek, they aren't really configs. They're .po files for different translations. | 18:36 |
| slangasek | so a) why do they need to be owned by anyone other than root? b) why do they belong in /etc/ | 18:37 |
| slangasek | ? | 18:37 |
| alexbligh1 | slangasek, (a) so they can be uploaded through the webserver, (b) well, there are two ways of configuring these, the old way (which involves editing the files), and the new way which involves the pofile being uploaded, sanitised, running msgfmt on it, and putting it somewhere. I really don't want to suid the last process, hence owned by www-data. They are in /etc because we want conffile behaviour on upgrade. | 18:40 |
| alexbligh1 | (so yes they could be elsewhere but I still have the conffile interaction) | 18:40 |
| === nxvl_ is now known as nxvl | ||
| slangasek | alexbligh1: well, if you're going to this much trouble to enable them to be updated via the webserver, I think conffiles are the wrong mechanism; it would probably be better to ship these as templates under /usr, and copy them to /var at package install time, letting the webserver update them there | 18:49 |
| slangasek | tremolux: software-center accepted into -proposed now; and apologies, I had noticed the oddness of the fix for bug #999486 being commented out when reviewing the debdiff for the last one but didn't follow up | 18:50 |

| tremolux | slangasek: oh, no worries, yeah, we overlooked that :/ | 18:51 |
| slangasek | tremolux: hmm - it seems someone has already published 5.2.2 to -updates, that was unexpected | 18:51 |
| slangasek | 5.2.2.1 accepted into -proposed now | 18:52 |
| tremolux | slangasek: ?? really? | 18:52 |
| slangasek | yes | 18:52 |
| slangasek | I don't know who or why | 18:52 |
| tremolux | slangasek: hmm, not all of the verifies were complete | 18:52 |
| slangasek | yeah | 18:52 |
| slangasek | well, it's done now | 18:52 |
| tremolux | slangasek: but it should not be a problem, we have all of those fixes in trunk and test everyday | 18:52 |
| * slangasek nods | 18:52 | |
| tremolux | slangasek: so to get 5.2.2.1, we just need do the remaining verifies? (most of the unverified bugs from 5.2.2 were related to the regression and the disabled fix actually) | 18:55 |
| slangasek | tremolux: yes | 18:55 |
| tremolux | slangasek: ok, I'll look for it on here and take care of them: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html | 18:56 |
| tremolux | slangasek: thanks a lot for your help! | 18:56 |
| slangasek | tremolux: no problem :) | 18:56 |
| seb128 | bryceh, oh, good, thanks! | 19:08 |
| seb128 | slangasek, s-c, @who; pitti (from -changes), why: I guess it's "90% of the bugs verification-done and no verification-failed or regression signaled on a long list of bugs" | 19:20 |
| === pp7 is now known as malkauns | ||
| seb128 | slangasek, it's sometime tricky to wait that all bugs are confirmed on such updates and if most bugs are verification-done and nobody pointed regression it's better to get moving that to stale | 19:21 |
| slangasek | well | 19:22 |
| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| seb128 | slangasek, just saying, and I might be wrong so keep the discussion for pitti if you disagree ;-) | 19:23 |
| slangasek | honestly, I would rather we be prepared to kick proposed SRUs back out if we can't get full coverage | 19:23 |
| slangasek | but yeah... the problem here is that tremolux had been talking with me about it, but we didn't actually mark any of the bugs verification-failed to block its promotion | 19:24 |
| seb128 | right | 19:24 |
| seb128 | that's one of the issues pitti raised on the list about SRU team and bug emails flood | 19:25 |
| seb128 | somebody has to watch for any regression mentioned in any of the bugs and set a failed flag somewhere | 19:25 |
| slangasek | I don't think it was mentioned on the bug | 19:25 |
| slangasek | on any bug | 19:25 |
| seb128 | slangasek, another issue with such uploads is that apport bugs often have no steps, they are like "they happen randomly to some users", so it's hard to get verification-done | 19:25 |
| slangasek | we should've flagged it with the tag | 19:25 |
| seb128 | i.e fixed come from guessing from the stacktrace | 19:26 |
| seb128 | but it's hard to find anyone to verify the fix | 19:26 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| seb128 | we can't block the updates for ever because "obvious code fixes" didn't get verified by anyone | 19:27 |
| slangasek | yes, well, errors.ubuntu.com will help with that eventually :) | 19:27 |
| seb128 | it helps if we see that the issue stop being reported | 19:27 |
| seb128 | but it means we need a progress tracking for specific issues which I think we don't have yet? | 19:27 |
| slangasek | yep - hence, "eventually" | 19:28 |
| tremolux | slangasek, seb128: for bugs that are impossible to consistently reproduce (there were a couple out of about 20 fixes in this SRU), we simply try to provide the steps that can cause it and ask the verifier to do those steps repeatedly..that sort of thing | 19:29 |
| tremolux | slangasek, seb128: but we are definitely counting on errors.ubuntu.com, because that's where we prioritized them from | 19:29 |
| seb128 | tremolux, right, it's not specific to you, most of the segfaults are like that | 19:30 |
| seb128 | i.e we have g-s-d segfaults which apparently randomly happen at logout in a racy way | 19:30 |
| seb128 | it's hard to test them out of checking that the update creates no regression and watch the reporting status | 19:31 |
| tremolux | seb128: yep, I see, just clarifying for our case | 19:31 |
| seb128 | stats | 19:31 |
| tremolux | yes | 19:31 |
| tremolux | same situation | 19:31 |
| seb128 | slangasek, btw speaking for SRU, shotwell has a SRU with 3 bugs listed, 2 got verification-done, the third one seems to not be enough of a fix but improve things (i.e incomplete fix) | 19:32 |
| seb128 | slangasek, what's the recommend way to mark the remaining bug in a way which doesn't hold the copy to -updates? (no reason since it fixes 2.5 issues and create no regression) | 19:33 |
| slangasek | seb128: mark it 'verification-done' now, then reset the state after publishing | 19:33 |
| seb128 | slangasek, ok, thanks | 19:34 |
| hallyn | what assumptions do we make about mounted MOUNTPOINT=/sys versus the rest of the base root filesystem (i.e. /usr/bin)? | 19:41 |
| hallyn | Can I assume that if /sys is mounted, the programs installed by a package are going to be available? | 19:42 |
| slangasek | hallyn: no | 19:43 |
| hallyn | drat | 19:43 |
| slangasek | hallyn: that's probably going to change this cycle, but you can't rely on it /yet/ | 19:43 |
| slangasek | hallyn: any reason not to just wait for the 'filesystem' event? | 19:44 |
| hallyn | bug 995956 wants libcgroup to start earlier | 19:44 |

| hallyn | oh that should be fine | 19:44 |
| slangasek | hmm, well, 'filesystem' won't usually be much earlier than 'runlevel' | 19:45 |
| stgraber | hallyn: is there any reason not to get that out of the archive and use cgroup-lite everywhere? last I checked cgconfig was so bad it'd prevent my laptop from resuming (still haven't figured out exactly how it managed that ;)) | 19:45 |
| slangasek | ('runlevel' is basically 'filesystem' + 'network') | 19:45 |
| slangasek | hallyn: 'start on filesystem' definitely won't do what the bug submitter is asking for... lots of other stuff starts in parallel as soon as the 'filesystem' event fires | 19:46 |
| hallyn | stgraber: that would be MY preference | 19:47 |
| hallyn | i don't know why people insist on installing libcgroup :) | 19:47 |
| dupondje | mterry: thanks alot! more bugkills to come! :) | 19:50 |
| mterry | :) | 19:50 |
| jbernard | hallyn: that would be my preference too. Also for debian, that might be the best solution | 19:52 |
| hallyn | jbernard: i think i've asked this before, but (since you maintain it) what exactly do you need from libcgroup? | 19:55 |
| dupondje | mterry: won't we need a rebuild of Remmina because of the multiarch lib dirs ? | 19:56 |
| jbernard | hallyn: if you take out the initscripts, I think the package has some nice features. | 19:56 |
| hallyn | jbernard: the utilities to manage cgroup settings you mean? | 19:56 |
| jbernard | hallyn: yes | 19:56 |
| hallyn | my main beef actually is not the initscripts but the daemon, which cannot deliver on its promises :) | 19:56 |
| jbernard | i agree completely | 19:57 |
| mterry | dupondje, probably, yes. Not for 12.04, but for 12.10 | 19:57 |
| hallyn | the submitter of the above bug was also askign for some tools to change settings | 19:57 |
| jbernard | the utilities are useful, but the daemon is a nightmare | 19:57 |
| mterry | dupondje, it should find them in both locations I think | 19:57 |
| hallyn | jbernard: so perhaps on top of the cgroup-lite package we should add a cgroup-mgmt package with whatever tools you like/need to use? | 19:57 |
| dupondje | ah but you didn't do the multiarch stuff for 12.04 ? | 19:58 |
| jbernard | hallyn: that would work well for me, but i don't know how many people rely on the daemon | 19:59 |
| jbernard | hallyn: it seems like a great idea to me, remove cgroup-bin, replace with cgroup-lite + additional utils | 19:59 |
| hallyn | jbernard: would that scratch a big enough itch for you to want to make a debdiff adding a cgroup-lite-mgmt package? :) | 20:02 |
| jbernard | jbernard: i think so, it's also an appealing way to re-sync the ubuntu package with the debian one | 20:04 |
| jbernard | hallyn: in which bug is the user requesting additional managment utilities? | 20:16 |

| JordiGH | He backported Octave to the PP release. | 21:05 |
| JordiGH | slangasek: I don't see anything there for contacting them. | 21:05 |
| slangasek | are you logged into launchpad? | 21:06 |
| JordiGH | Yes, it says no public email | 21:06 |
| JordiGH | C'mon, Steve, help me out. :-) | 21:06 |
| slangasek | well, there is a "contact this user" button; I don't know why you don't have it if you're logged in | 21:06 |
| JordiGH | Ah, it's top right. | 21:06 |
| JordiGH | Had to grep for it. | 21:06 |
| bdmurray | slangasek: just because its fixed doesn't everyone installed it | 21:09 |
| slangasek | bdmurray: certainly... does that mean, though, that we're not going to have any apt clone tarballs at all in bug reports for the foreseeable future? | 21:10 |
| slangasek | in theory those are important for reproducing upgrade bugs | 21:10 |
| bdmurray | right, I heard cjwatson say that too | 21:10 |
| slangasek | anyone know where the packages for "ubuntu satanic edition" are? I think one of them has called dpkg --sacrifice-goat >> plymouth | 21:16 |
| bdmurray | slangasek: in the bug mvo indicated he would work on a proper fix that scans data first | 21:16 |
| slangasek | bdmurray: ok | 21:16 |
| bdmurray | slangasek: I think at ubuntusatanic.com | 21:17 |
| azeem | bdmurray: noooo, http://ubuntusatanic.org/ | 21:17 |
| slangasek | http://ubuntusatanic.org/hell/ | 21:17 |
| slangasek | what an obvious name for a repository | 21:17 |
| azeem | and it has a ad banner for MS Dynamics | 21:18 |
| bdmurray | slangasek: I might look at fixing the aptclone stuff too | 21:18 |
| slangasek | bdmurray: that would be keen | 21:18 |
| adam_g | how do i go about opening and pushing to a -proposed branch for a precise package that is getting its first update? | 21:25 |
| stgraber | adam_g: you can't get the -proposed branch until at least one SRU was uploaded. So the first one you need to dput without commiting to bzr first | 21:28 |
| adam_g | stgraber: ahhh gotcha, thanks | 21:29 |

| tumbleweed | the new merges.u.c is too fast. it gets ahead of the LP importer which breaks my oldmerges page :) | 22:55 |
| slangasek | heh | 22:55 |
| * tumbleweed guards against that. such merges are *not* old | 22:56 | |
