LoTi think this page has some inconsistencies...15:25

LoTThe file referred to for editing if these responses are edited on the wiki doesn't exist, so therefore not all responses can be edited or exist15:25
* LoT plans to update the ubuntu-qa-tools branch later, when his linux system is back on a network connection15:26

bdmurrayLoT: fixing that wiki page thanks16:26
hjdAnything special one should do with bugs belonging to packages since removed from Ubuntu? (I'm marking two duplicates and wonder whether I should mention that the package is removed in newer releases or something.)16:41
* Elbrus doesn't know for sure, but he would comment in the bug something mentioning the fact and would search for a status that would cause the bug to be archived if not worth a SRU16:43
hjdBug 42775 fwiw. Based on one of the duplicates still present in lucid, so while I wouldn't bet on it, I suppose it might still get fixed...16:48
ubot2Launchpad bug 42775 in swscanner "swscanner tries to use kdesu, which is not installed" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/4277516:48
hjdWhat about bug reports requesting newer versions in packages which has been removed, like bug 325263? Should these simply be converted to needs-packaging bugs?16:58
ubot2Launchpad bug 325263 in kq "KQ package very out of date." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/32526316:58
micahghjd: patches welcome17:18
micahghjd: if the dev release is out of date, just tag upgrade-software-version, otherwise mark fix released and you can mention about backports if you like17:18
hjdmicahg: Well, that's what I'd normally do, though in the cases I've found it seems like the package was removed from the repository before it was upgraded...17:31
hjds/was/could be/17:31
micahghjd: ok, then if it makes sense, it can be converted to a needs-packaging bug (i.e. upstream still alive and making releases), otherwise, it's invalid or won't fix17:33
hjdok, thanks.17:38
hjdHm, it seems at least in KQ's case it was removed because it contained unlicensed content (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575739) I can leave a comment stating that, but I don't really know if I should touch the status.17:47
ubot2Debian bug 575739 in ftp.debian.org "RM: kq -- RoQA; contains undistributable content" [Normal,Open]17:47
micahghjd: yeah, if someone cares about it, they should try to get it back into Debian with the licenses issues addressed17:50
hjdmicahg: added a comment. Should I add "needs-packaging" tag as well?17:54
micahghjd: sure, it could be converted to that17:55
shakaranwhat's the proper package for file a bug regarding to unity-newrelease-checker? unity?17:59
micahgwhich release is that?  that file doesn't seem to be in precise18:00
shakaranI don't where I get this. But apparently I have this on my laptop: http://pastebin.com/kUQawLye18:04
shakarancould be ubuntu-tweak or some app like that?18:05
micahgshakaran: dpkg -S /etc/xdg/autostart/unity-newrelease-checker.desktop18:05
micahgshakaran: ah, it says it's from the unity PPA, try #ubuntu-unity for help18:05
shakarancheckbox-unity: /etc/xdg/autostart/unity-newrelease-checker.deskto18:06
shakaranmicahg: ok thanks, I will try there ;)18:06
micahgshakaran: maybe not18:06
micahgshakaran: apt-cache policy checkbox-unity will tell you where it comes from18:07
shakaranpretty weird http://pastebin.com/LJqMU8cY18:07
micahgawesome :)18:07
shakaranscary18:08
micahganyways, someone in the other channel might know more18:08
shakaranok, I will try there18:09
=== zyga-afk is now known as zyga
shakaranI think that I get a exception inception error with apport just now with nautilus, could somebody check this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/62621419:12
ubot2Ubuntu bug 626214 in apport "TypeError: add_info() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)" [Undecided,Confirmed]19:12
shakaranmicahg: I purge the checkbox-unity package and I seems solve the problem. The unity PPA is disabled, so I purge the PPA too (It seems that I add the PPA on lucid and it was disabled on 12.04, currently using now 12.10)19:15

gareth_I'm attempting to get a patch into libgphoto2 on precise.  I've attached a patch to the bug report and have also uploaded it to LP.  What next?  I'm a litte confused by all the various documentation!20:17
gareth_LP: #98106220:18
micahggareth_: well, ideally, you'll want to test build to know if it fixes the issue, then create a debdiff with the patch included as a proper patch in debian/patches/ if appropriate, #ubuntu-desktop can help20:22
gareth_micahg: I've built it on my machine and that has fixed the issue.  Is that what you mean by 'test build' or is there more to it?20:23
micahggareth_: yeah, that's what I mean20:25
micahggareth_: so, if you ask in #ubuntu-desktop, maybe someone will just do the patch making for you or help you to create it20:25
micahggareth_: you've done the hard part already :)20:26
gareth_micahg:  Good. So part one is done!  I built it with pbuilder and installed the deb on my laptop and tested it.  Can you confirm that I now need to build a debdiff and attach that to the bug?20:29
micahggareth_: yeah, with a proper debdiff you can throw it in the sponsorship queue20:30
gareth_micahg: Thanks - I'll give that a go then.20:30
