[12:48] <highvoltage> so, debian has the new liferea 1.8.6 that fixes the annoying bugs that 1.8.3 has. should I file a sync request for it or will it automatically get into quantal?
[12:48]  * highvoltage feels like this is stuff he should already know and apologises for ignorance
[12:48] <Laney> !info liferea quantal
[12:48] <ubottu> liferea (source: liferea): feed aggregator for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 1.8.3-0.1ubuntu2 (quantal), package size 198 kB, installed size 571 kB
[12:49] <Laney> ubuntu changes → needs merge or manual syncpackage
[12:51] <Laney> highvoltage: ^
[12:58] <highvoltage> Laney: ok
[12:58] <Laney> highvoltage: hyperair touched it last so technically he should be looking at it ;-)
[12:58] <ScottK> Laney: Only until tomorrow (DIF).
[12:58] <ScottK> After that it's fair game.
[12:59] <highvoltage> Laney: I'll poke him thusly, otherwise I shall spend a few minutes on it and see if it's trivial and pass him a debdiff.
[12:59] <Laney> I meant in terms of "get someone else to do the work" and not "you'd be stealing the work from someone else".
[13:00] <highvoltage> I wish I had that problem of people stealing my work.
[13:03] <hyperair> highvoltage: go ahead and do whatever you wish with it. i touched liferea due to the malfunctioning indicator support that nobody else seemed willing to fix.
[13:37] <raju> coolbhavi,  you
[13:38] <coolbhavi> yes raju good evening
[13:38] <raju> coolbhavi,  still busy ??
[13:39] <coolbhavi> raju, just checking mails... PM?
[13:40] <raju> coolbhavi, sure
[13:41] <raju> coolbhavi,  i am on there but i didnt saw you
[13:41] <raju> coolbhavi,  ok now

[19:16] <pindonga> hi... was looking for some advise on the best way to package things for ubuntu... I hope this is the right place to ask.
[19:16] <pindonga> our project has several dependencies which haven't yet been packaged for ubuntu
[19:16] <pindonga> mostly python deps
[19:16] <pindonga> so my questions are regarding:
[19:17] <pindonga> - best practices for packaging and keeping packages up to date as new versions are released (of software that hasn't packaging metadata included)
[19:18] <pindonga> - best way to get those packages included into the universe repos so we don't have to keep our custom ppa for this, but can help get them  included for other people to benefit from the packaging
[19:19] <micahg> pindonga: best way is to maintain it in Debian and request syncs to the devel release when a new version comes out and then request backports to older stable releases
[19:21] <pindonga> micahg, so, package for debian, then request sync debian->ubuntu, then request backports to the distro I need?
[19:21] <micahg> yep
[19:21] <pindonga> micahg, advise on getting it to debian then?
[19:21] <micahg> pindonga: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages#NEW_packages_through_Debian
[19:22] <pindonga> was also concerned with how to best keep the packaging metadata around... I mean, should I push for including the metadata in the upstream project, or keep them separate somewhere else?
[19:22] <pindonga> for when a new release comes up and I need to get the package upgraded
[19:22] <micahg> pindonga: VCS branch on alioth or launchpad is fine for the packaging stuff
[19:23] <pindonga> micahg, k, will read this doc
[19:23] <pindonga> thanks
[19:35] <ScottK> pindonga: Also there is #debian-python on OFTC where you can get assistance with getting Python specific packages into Debian (more general packaging questions for Debian can be addressed to #debian-mentors).
