seb128vibhav, you are still using oneiric? I'm not sure all those SRUs to it make sense, there is a new LTS out and users who have been using it for over 6 months probably worked around the issues09:51

mterryWhen moving (renaming) a conffile in the same package, I know to use "dpkg-maintscript-helper mv_conffile".  Is there anything different I should do when moving and renaming a conffile between source packages (besides the Replaces stuff in debian/control)?13:55
=== mfisch` is now known as mfisch
seb128mterry, use a .maintscript rather than calling dpkg-maintscript-helper manually13:57
=== mfisch is now known as Guest83117
didrocksmterry: to answer your question, I guess you don't have anything different to do13:58
seb128mterry, otherwise for your question I'm not sure, mvo or cjwatson probably knows better about that13:58
mterryseb128, k, thanks for the hint though, will look at those13:59
seb128mterry, you can take avahi as a package which does use a .maintscript to move conffiles14:00
mterryseb128, yup.  man dh_installdeb also talks about them14:01
seb128mterry, it's cool because with them you don't need to remember which one of the maintainer scripts you need to add calls to14:01
seb128i.e prerm, postinst, ...14:01
cjwatsonIt used to be excruciatingly difficult14:01
cjwatsonto transfer conffiles between packages14:02
mterryI like the word "used" there14:02
cjwatsonhttp://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=335276 has a bunch of gory details, and you can still see the madness in openssh-server.preinst14:02
ubottuDebian bug 335276 in openssh-client "openssh-client: unnecessary prompting about conffile" [Important,Open]14:02

vibhavsmoser: ping14:03
smoservibhav, hi14:03
vibhavsmoser: Did you upload the merge?14:03
vibhavOr do you want a more revised version?14:03
cjwatsonIf you're just transferring package ownership rather than changing the filename as well, then you shouldn't need .maintscript14:03
mterrycjwatson, I see, so conffiles act like normal files when transitioning between packages.  What if I want to move/rename it at the same time?  Do I do Replaces+.maintscript in new package?14:03
smoservibhav, i did not.14:03
cjwatsonmterry: [fx: runs]14:04
smoservibhav, i wanted to give you a chance to do address the things i brought up14:04
mterryI guess there wouldn't need to be replaces, since it wouldn't be at the same location...?14:04
cjwatsonmterry: Er, maybe pass a package name to dpkg-maintscript-helper?  I'm not sure - you may just have to try it.14:04
vibhavsmoser: fine, Ill upload a better debdiff14:04
vibhavthanks, though14:04
smoservibhav, i can then take a quick look and upload14:04
mterrycjwatson, OK, thanks!14:04

ubottuLaunchpad bug 574287 in tasksel (Ubuntu) "tasksel: forcefully removes packages when tasks overlap" [Undecided,In progress]14:05
cjwatsonhippiehacker: They're written automatically by the Launchpad archive publisher, based on germinate output14:07
cjwatsonhippiehacker: I don't know if that's desperately relevant to that bug though; we don't consider overlapping tasks to be a bug, if that's what you're wowndering14:08
cjwatson*wondering14:08
vibhavsmoser: Ill file the Debian Bug later, is that fine?14:09
hippiehackerI'm somewhat looking into the bug, but mostly trying to understand how to create tasks and make them available14:09
smoservibhav, sure.14:09
cjwatsonhippiehacker: If you're generating test archives for yourself, you probably want apt-ftparchive extra overrides; our input to apt-ftparchive is in /ubuntu/indices/ on mirrors14:10
cjwatsonhippiehacker: Adding new tasks requires changing /usr/share/tasksel/ubuntu-tasks.desc14:10
hippiehackerI see that file, but the Packages: header only lists 'task-fields'14:11
hippiehackerwhere would one set the packages for a custom task?14:11
=== Guest83117 is now known as mfisch
hippiehackerlooks like we can drop a file into /usr/local/share/tasksel/14:13
cjwatsonhippiehacker: "task-fields" causes the packages to be implicitly set by the Task fields you're looking at14:13

* vibhav looks for final changes14:17
hallynOk, what on earth.  Trying again to figure out why fcntl.h doesn't give me AT_EMPTY_PATH.  I find ./debian/patches/any/submitted-bits-fcntl_h-at.diff in eglibc source, which expliclty removes the definition!14:21
vibhavsmoser: done!14:21
hallynyay, bugs.debian, here i come14:23
smoservibhav, thanks.14:23
hippiehackercjwatson: https://gist.github.com/2889140 is my attempt to understand where the dns-server task is defined before the generation of Packages.gz with apt-ftparchive14:38
cjwatsonhippiehacker: bzr co lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.quantal, look at ubuntu.quantal/dns-server14:41
cjwatsonthat's the ultimate source, not dependency-expanded14:41
cjwatsongerminate (see package) is responsible for expanding out dependencies in the seeds14:42
cjwatsonhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/launchpad/files/head:/lib/lp/archivepublisher/scripts/generate_extra_overrides.py takes the output and turns it into extra overrides14:42
cjwatsonThat's run as part of the Launchpad publisher and isn't something you can run standalone, but the mapping from germinate output files to Task fields is merely tedious rather than anything magic14:43
hippiehackerquite the process14:44
cjwatsonIt's designed to minimise the number of manual changes we have to make as packages' dependencies shift around14:44
cjwatsonWhich is the sort of thing you care about rather more at large scale14:44
hippiehackerwhat are your thoughts on where Debian went with task-* meta-packages rather than updating the Packages.gz in wheezy and beyond?14:46
hippiehackerit likely fixes the auto-removal problem, as the meta-packages bascially just have dependencies (I think)14:47
hippiehackerhttp://wiki.debian.org/tasksel#Sample_use : "Note that in DebianWheezy and beyond tasksel provides and uses dummy packages (known as meta packages) to pull required dependencies."14:49
cjwatsonhippiehacker: I haven't looked into that much as yet; it's a reversion to an earlier approach, basically14:50
cjwatsonWe could do much the same with our existing metapackages, presumably14:50
cjwatsonWell, in those cases where they exist, which isn't all14:50

hallynheh, i see :)18:48
keesseb128: can you look at bug 1010141? this is causing problems for image creation, etc.18:55

seb128kees, is that the one where I just added a comment saying to upstream it?18:55
seb128kees, it's eod for me but I will have a closer look tomorrow18:56
keesseb128: ah, whoops, sorry.18:56
seb128kees, no worry, I wouldn't be on IRC if I was done working, but it's close enough that I will look at it tomorrow not today ;-)18:57
keesseb128: heh, okay, thanks.18:57

mhall119YokoZar: ping19:14
hippiehackerIf want to automate the creation a metapackage (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages#Creating_Metapackages) that includes packages from other ppas.... ie the way the google-chrome.deb adds googles own repos19:20
hippiehackerhow would I get the package cache updated from the new ppas and then install the desired dependencies from those ppas (from within the metapackage)?19:21
infinityseb128: Aww, crap.  Was I meant to leave the gnome* stuff in proposed until someone had finished a libgnome-desktop transition?  Did I miss a memo?20:51
infinitypopey: unity has been FTBFS for 2 weeks now.  Do you know what's being done?20:55
seb128infinity, the libgnome-desktop thing is unknown to me, what's the issue?20:56
broderooc, did anybody look at https://github.com/twitter/zipkin ?20:59
broderseems vaguely interesting20:59
broderthough presumably only if we spent a bunch of time instrumenting20:59
seb128infinity, oh, soname change, well I guess we will deal with it now that a1 is over21:00
broderoof, wrong channel, but whatever :)21:00
infinityseb128: Yeah, SOVER bump.  It's probably just a question of rebuilds for a eog, evo, and a few others.21:01
infinityseb128: Except that unity is now uninstallable, and it's FTBFS in quantal, so someone needs to get around to fixing that too. :/21:02
seb128infinity, yeah, popey's team is supposed to be on that for 2 weeks, dunno what they are doing...21:03
seb128popey, ^21:03
infinityseb128: I already pinged popey a few lines up. ;)21:03
infinityseb128: Anyhow, I can do all the !unity rebuilds, but if you guys had new versions staged or something, go ahead.21:03
seb128infinity, is there any hurry to do the rebuilds?21:03
infinityseb128: Just that people like to see beer on quantal_probs?21:04
seb128infinity, we have for sure updates coming soon so things will get rebuild in the next week21:04
infinityseb128: (And everything is uninstallable)21:04
infinityseb128: But thanks to unity being broken, fixing the rest won't help. :/21:04
seb128oh, the different sonames are no co-installable?21:04
seb128that's an issue for sure21:04
seb128why so?21:04
infinityseb128: Sure they are, but the old lib had a hard dep on the arch:all data package. :/21:04
seb128:-(21:04
seb128hate the common binaries21:05
seb128infinity, I will get it sorted tomorrow21:05
infinityseb128: For future reference, if libfooSOVER has a hard dep on libfoo-data (and maybe that's legit), you should probably version the data name too (ie: libfooSOVER-data)21:06
infinityseb128: Then nothing would have broken. :/21:06
seb128imho we should just >= on -data21:06
infinityOr that.21:06
infinityBut not up to me to decide without looking if the dependency is legitimate. ;)21:07
infinity(I see no reason why it wouldn't be sane to want data from the same version)21:07
seb128well, because in practice the next version often works and it avoids such issues :p21:07
infinityHeh.21:07
infinityWell, and you'd have to version the data paths and stuff too, if you versioned the package names.21:08
infinitySo, a bit messier.21:08
seb128like in this case the -data has documentation and icons21:08
infinityAnyhow.21:08
seb128and neither of those changed21:08
seb128but unity is being worked for some time21:08
infinityseb128: Given the timezone skew between me and most of the people who do unity things, can you be annoying to them tomorrow for me?21:08
seb128it got bitten by "need to migrate to new boost to build with gcc 4.7"21:08
seb128infinity, well I've been pushing them for a week, it's a bit of a mess21:09
infinityFun.21:09
seb128infinity, unity needs to be migrated to new boost, but then it segfaults21:09
seb128so they are down to searching for toolchain regressions21:09
seb128but that's taking a bit of time21:09
slangasekis there a backtrace posted somewhere that we could throw our eyeballs at?21:10
seb128I will see if they can build with gcc4.621:10
infinity(Time to revert to unity-2d instead?)21:10
infinityseb128: That could be the path of least resistance for now, yeah.21:10
seb128slangasek, the segfault is in nux, it's not clear it's a toolchain issue, out of the fact that the same code works on precise21:10
seb128slangasek, I will do a status update with didrocks tomorrow morning and see what solutions we have21:11
slangasekok21:11
infinityseb128: Actually, if CC=gcc-4.6 works, I might just upload the current quantal version with that.  And they can keep working on fixing trunk.21:11
infinityseb128: I'll test locally.21:11
* infinity just wants to clear up the SOVER skew oops for now.21:12
infinityseb128: And I'll get the other libgnome-desktop stragglers with rebuilds today too, you guys can just focus on your 3.5.x uploads.21:13
seb128robert_ancell, ^21:16
seb128infinity, see with robert_ancell to not dup work on rebuilding the rdepends21:17
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
robert_ancellinfinity, let me know if you want me to help on the rebuilds21:26
popeyinfinity: seb128 i understood unity in quantal was building fine now?21:34
seb128popey, where is the branch?21:35
seb128popey, it didn't get uploaded for sure21:35
popeyhmm21:35
ScottKseb128: Thanks.21:36
popeyI'll speak to lukasz in the morning..21:36
ScottKI guess yofel took care of it.21:36
seb128ScottK, he did, thanks21:36
infinityrobert_ancell: I should be able to manage; I have the technology.21:43
micahginfinity: you do realize that most of those desktop packages are managed in ~ubuntu-desktop VCS branches, right?22:08
infinitymicahg: I also realise that I don't care if my changes are dropped, since they're all no-change rebuilds.22:23
infinitymicahg: The extra step of comitting that to several different VCSes is busy work with no discernable win for anyone. :/22:24
micahgchangelog isn't authoratative and someone might try to upload the same version again22:24
infinity"changelog isn't authoratative"?22:24
micahgdoesn't have the full histroy22:24
infinityBut yes, someone might try to upload the same version again.22:24
infinityAnd yes, the branches aren't authoritative, news at 11. :/22:25
infinityMaybe I'll go on a commit-fest later today.22:25
infinityFixing the archive was more important that not offending people's sensibilities.22:26
BluefoxicyI don't understand something.22:29
Bluefoxicy~$ jigdo-lite http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.5/kfreebsd-amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-6.0.5-kfreebsd-amd64-CD-1.jigdo22:30

BluefoxicyThe jigdo file refers to files stored on Ubuntu mirrors.22:31
Bluefoxicy...  Ubuntu mirrors?22:31
Bluefoxicyit really does go searching through Ubuntu stuff, too.22:31
BluefoxicySpecifically it's using the mirror list at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+archivemirrors22:31
Bluefoxicy... when given a Debian distribution .jigdo22:32
Bluefoxicyis this a bug or a feature?22:32
infinityIf it's jigdo on Ubuntu, I'd call it a feature.  I suppose.22:33
infinityThough, no.22:33
infinityI guess more of a bug. :P22:33
slangasek"The jigdo file refers to files stored on Ubuntu mirrors. Please choose a Ubuntu mirror as follows:" <-- that's a bug22:33
infinitySince we rebuild everything, there's no chance of finding the correct files on an Ubuntu mirror.22:34
slangasekthe text is wrong22:34
slangasekhowever, there's probably not enough information available to get it right22:34
BluefoxicyUbuntu mirror [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/]: us22:34
Bluefoxicyhttp://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/        # US United States22:34
slangasekI like this part though:22:34
slangasekUbuntu mirror [[arch=amd64]]:22:34
slangasekmisparsing sources.list ftw22:35
Bluefoxicyslangasek:  yeah I'm thinking it may be a limitation of Jigdo that it can't actually tell what's being asked for?22:35
* infinity hasn't jidone in ages.22:35
infinityjigdone*22:35
BluefoxicyDoes Ubuntu even use Jigdo to distribute?22:36
infinityBluefoxicy: We do, for alternates.22:36
Bluefoxicylike 6 releases ago there was a huge buzz about writing an even MORE advanced system that used bittorrent AND http to download chunks of ISO images in parts22:36
infinityI don't think we widely advertise that we do, but we generate the jigdo files.22:36
Bluefoxicylike it would use bittorrent, but also pick a dozen mirrors and HTTP GET with resume from an offset, download some KBs, then close the connection22:36
infinityThat said, we're looking to dump the alternates anyway.22:37
slangasekinfinity: or if you're from the rural midwest, "jigdid"22:37
slangasekas in "has jigdid"22:37
infinityslangasek: I ain't done jigdid nuttin' in forever.22:37
Bluefoxicybut then there was also talk about binary upgrades where if you made a 1 line change in OpenOffice.org you'd get a debian patch .deb that was only a few kilobytes, instead of redownloading 600MB of packages >:|22:38
Bluefoxicybut I still see updates that fix a Depends: or Recommends: and require re-downloading and re-installing the whole package >:|22:38
BluefoxicyI'm assuming this is either hard or there's too many ways to do it and people can't pick one that does everything they want22:39
infinityBluefoxicy: Some day, someone might make binary diff distribution work sanely, but I suspect that every year, well care a little less, as bandwidth increases.22:39
infinitys/well/we all/22:39
Bluefoxicyinfinity:  I care a little less because I have an SSD and the changes go through faster.22:39
micahgand binary compression improves as well (transition to xz debs)22:39
BluefoxicyThat said, it still takes time for me to download 600-800 megs of stuff without an OC-48 here22:40
BluefoxicyI mean I only get 500-800k/s22:40
Bluefoxicyanyway.  I should file a bug about that Jigdo behavior, just to put it on the record.22:42
infinitypopey: Still around?22:47
popeyinfinity: just22:55
infinitypopey: Was curious if you know the state of the nux glew1.7 transition as well.22:58
infinitypopey: But I suppose I'll just assume that's happening in tandem with boost.149 and gcc-4.722:59
popeynot off the top of my head, no, will check in in my AM (8 hours)23:00
