alo21hi all05:18
alo21how can I build a dep-package?05:18
alo21hi all06:33
alo21Can I set a bug as "Fix Commtied" once I attach the parch?06:34
alo21patch*06:38
alo21rsalveti: hi06:39
alo21hi all08:24
alo21TheLordOfTime: hi08:30
alo21TheLordOfTime: did you find some solution last night?08:30
alo21u09:04
alo21hi all11:01
alo21where are all config files in a source?11:08
arandalo21: I commented on your patch suggestion for juju, it seems to break the build in that help2man fails to get output from "--help" or "-h", somehow, you probably need to rework your patch so that this doesn't happen.11:24
arand(I'm not sure why exactly it fails)11:24
arandalo21: When you attach a patch, you would add a "patch" tag.11:26
arand"Fix commited" is for when the fix is incorporated into the project but not released, as a rough description.11:27
larsduesingare "Bugs" which are more a wishlist-item ok in launchpad? or how to handle them?12:53
larsduesing(after reading https://dev.launchpad.net/BugTriage I'm not really sure..12:53
penguin42can you give an example of the bug?12:54
larsduesinghttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aiccu/+bug/79726812:54
ubot2Ubuntu bug 797268 in aiccu "aiccu configuration should warn users that extra steps are needed in order to configure a tunnel" [Undecided,Confirmed]12:54
penguin42larsduesing: Right, first note that the dev.launchpad.net/BugTriage is for bugs in launchpad itself as opposed to Ubuntu bugs12:55
penguin42larsduesing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance  is a better reference for ubuntu bugs12:55
larsduesingoh.. ah12:56
larsduesingok.. so anybody should flag it as wishlist12:56
larsduesingI'm not capable to do it :)12:56
* penguin42 can12:57
larsduesingit would be nice, if you could do it :-)12:57
larsduesingthanks12:58
larsduesing:)12:58
penguin42done - now probably the right thing is to ask him to raise it with the developers of aiccu upstream; I'm guessing it's unlikely the ubuntu devs are going to pick it up themselves, unless one of them happens to want to do it12:59
larsduesingpenguin42: I happen to be the only one who is actively maintaining the ubuntu part of aiccu...12:59
penguin42ah right!12:59
larsduesingbut I'm not really sure about this proposal...13:00
penguin42larsduesing: So I don't know anything about aiccu; normally the thing would be to file a corresponding bug in the upstream bug tracker - but I can't see one13:01
larsduesingthere is no upstream bug tracker13:01
larsduesing(if you do not talk about debian, which has of course...)13:02
penguin42larsduesing: Is most of aiccu's development done upstream or by people in debian/ubuntu?13:02
larsduesingI'm not really sure13:04
larsduesingbut a version-string 20070115-15ubuntu3 says nearly all :-)13:04
penguin42hmm is there a newer upstream or debian version?13:04
larsduesingit seems to be done in debian13:04
larsduesingthat is current merge from debian13:05
penguin42sounds like nothing much has happened there then13:05
larsduesinghttps://launchpad.net/debian/+source/aiccu/+changelog13:05
larsduesingyes13:06
larsduesingall done was some dependencies for kfreebsd :)13:06
penguin42http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=aiccu&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all13:06
penguin42so nothing happened there either13:06
larsduesingyes13:07
larsduesingit is quite often used, it works, fine :)13:08
penguin42and the last version on https://www.sixxs.net/tools/aiccu/ is 2007.01.15 (for Unix)13:08
larsduesingyes13:08
larsduesingthat's it as I said13:08
penguin42so to be honest it looks like a dead project except for Windows which they're still doing updates for - is the right thing to see if the functionality is in something like network manager?13:09
larsduesingso nothing really happens there13:09
larsduesingnot really13:09
larsduesingit is an ipv6-gateway13:09
penguin42back in about 10mins13:09
larsduesingnp13:10
larsduesingsixxs gives away ipv6-nets and routes them over ipv4 - aiccu is the client which gives ipv6-connectivity to the local net13:11
=== ashams_ is now known as ashams
penguin42larsduesing: Isn't that a pretty common thing to do with ipv6 - or is it a different way each provider does it?13:20
* penguin42 wonders hth to mark a bug of mine as a dupe in kde's bugtracker13:24
penguin42ah found it13:28
=== F|shie_ is now known as F|shie
alo21hi, can someone help me with this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/juju/+bug/956000), please?16:46
ubot2Ubuntu bug 956000 in juju "'juju bootstrap' with no arguments gives confusing message" [Low,In progress]16:46
* penguin42 looks16:47
alo21penguin42: i tell you more in detail16:48
alo21penguin42: in the last messagge, Cli wrote "<edit>". Does it mean aplly the patch?16:48
penguin42not obvious to me whether that's just a bug in the docs he was using16:48
alo21apply*16:48
penguin42ok, I see16:49
alo21penguin42: ok16:49
penguin42alo21: Yes where he says <edit> he means apply the patches or make your changes16:49
alo21penguin42: in this case, the patch I made16:50
penguin42alo21: Because upstream juju is maintained in bzr/launchpad it makes it easy for you to submit the patch directly to it16:50
penguin42alo21: But note comment #5 about there being a problem with your patch16:50
alo21penguin42: In fact they would see what problem is it16:51
alo21it is*16:51
alo21penguin42: can I ask more one question?17:06
alo21one more*17:07
alo21ypwong: hi17:12
penguin42alo21: Sure17:27
alo21penguin42: can I add tags, if necessary?17:28
penguin42alo21: Yes, there is a list of common ones17:28
alo21penguin42: ok... what should I know to fix bug....17:28
alo21penguin42: For example I know C and Python, but, for , me is very hard to fix bitsize bugs17:29
alo21penguin42: because I cannot find the,17:29
penguin42https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags17:29
alo21penguin42: have you got any suggestion?17:30
penguin42alo21: Sometimes it helps if you pick a group of packages or one package and get to know it well17:30
penguin42alo21: Then you get used to how that package fixes bug upstream and where in the code things are, so maybe you can fix a few bugs at the same time17:31
alo21penguin42: how can I know a package very well? The common applcations I use are Thunderbird and Firefox17:31
penguin42alo21: Those are huge packages - they take a lot of experience I think17:31
alo21penguin42: where did you start?17:32
alo21from*17:32
penguin42alo21: If you are interested in fixing bugs in them it might be best to look at those projects upstream and their wikis for small bugs in them, but not all packages are as complex as firefox17:32
alo21penguin42: what about Unity?17:32
penguin42alo21: I don't know much about Unity, I think there might be a channel specially for unity dev; I suspect it's simpler than firefox say - and all (?) of the dev is done in Ubuntu rather than upstream17:33
alo21penguin42: ok, thanks17:34
penguin42alo21: I tend to mostly fix bugs that annoy me or when I spot them in lp bugs where I know the package or where it's easy to understand17:34
alo21penguin42: I would like too... but most of this bugs are a little bit tricky her (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize)17:36
alo21penguin42: they required a good knowledge of each package17:37
penguin42alo21: hmm I'm not sure why some of those are bitesize17:38
penguin42alo21: I'd say pick a package that you understand how to use well, and isn't too big and see if you can pick some bugs off that17:39
alo21penguin42: ok, thanks for your advices17:40
TheLordOfTimealo21:  also, your patch from yesterday17:40
TheLordOfTimeit causes an FTBFS issue on the juju package17:41
TheLordOfTime(separate from current FTBFS issues)17:41
