RAOF└─(13:48:%)── dpkg --compare-versions 1.4.0+git2012.is.really.1.4.0-0ubuntu1 gt 1.4.0+git20101207.0d32bb07-0ubuntu2 || echo false03:49
RAOFfalse03:49
RAOFWhat crazy subtlety of dpkg version comparing am I missing here?03:50
ajmitchRAOF: so, using 1.4.0+git20120101.is.really.1.4.0-0ubuntu1 seems to work, though the date is now a lie03:54
micahgright03:54
RAOFYeah, it's odd.03:54
micahgno, it makes sense in the context of versioning03:55
RAOF1.4.0+git2012 > 1.4.0+git2010, but 1.4.0+git2012 < 1.4.0+git20100103:55
micahg20101207 > 201203:55
RAOFOoooh.03:55
RAOFdpkg treats *all* numbers in the version string as numbers rather than strings?03:56
micahghttp://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version might be worth a read03:56
micahgit goes chunk by chunk and compares AFAICT03:56
micahgso, 1.4.0+git20101207.is.really.1.4.0-0ubuntu1 should also work03:57

mux_Hi everyone, for my project I have decided to build a user-friendly desktop automation software for Ubuntu (like AppleScript and Automator). I know that ubuntu already has a powerful scripting environment (bash etc) So is it worthwhile to follow my idea?? Also what other features should i include to make it not redundant?? Thank You.05:07
lifelessmake it a) not suck and b) work with GUI programs.05:09
RAOFTo expand upon b) - you need to do something like hooking into GTKActions, which would be accessible via the same mechanisms as the HUD uses.05:10
mux_RAOF: what is the demand for GUI desktop automation on linux...is it a problem worth solving?? or should we just tell users to learn BASH,python etc..?05:26
mux_lifeless: how often do you find the need for such softwares on Ubuntu...?05:27
RAOFmux_: The non-GUI scripting landscape is pretty solid.05:36
RAOFmux_: It's also my understanding that one of the major features of AppleScript & Automator is that they *do* cover GUI apps.05:36

SweetsharkAnyone here being able to help me debug that C++11 ABI mess? Starting LibreOffice on Quantal, New Presentation, Close -> Crash. Doesnt happen on precise.08:28
SweetsharkI tried to make a sense out of LD_DEBUG=all output, but did not find anything obviously dirty injecting std::list<> symbols there.08:28

SweetsharkHas anyone a good systematic proposal on how to proceed?08:28
geserSweetshark: if nobody gives you a better idea, try to rebuild the LO (c++-based) dependencies with gcc-4.6 to check which ones "triggers" it (try boost first if you already didn't try it)08:46
Sweetsharkgeser: all >1000 (direct and indirect) deps? *cough* and what do I do with the rest of my work items this cycle?08:51
geserthat many?08:53
Sweetsharkgeser: LibreOffice integrates with everything -- thus it can get the dirty C++11 ABI from virtually anywhere in main.08:59

geserSweetshark: did you ask chrisccoulson how he found the problematic library in his unity case?09:05
geserSweetshark: you could try to continue to "upgrade" it slowly (as far as dependencies allow it) towards quantal till you find the right package (or set of packages)09:07

hallynso uploading to -proposed is also for hot bugs right, not just for low-prio features?15:46
micahghallyn: in a stable release?  it's not for features at all15:47
hallynno in quantal15:47
hallynduring the current freeze15:47
micahgit's for anything on an image or anything that will cause installability issues15:48
hallynok15:48
micahghallyn: this email explains it: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2012-July/000968.html15:49
hallynhggdh: I'm going to push the fix for your qemu-kvm bug to q-proposed right now.15:49
hallynmicahg: yeah, what i wasn't sure about was, for things which are blocking qa, is it worth pushing to quantal and respinning15:49
hallyni'm taking the asnwer as no15:49
hallynno wait :)15:49
micahghallyn: ask in #ubuntu-release :)15:49
hallynok thanks :)15:50
mcclurmci'm the upstream maintainer for a package in debian and ubuntu. it depends on qemu, but the paths to qemu are different on Debian and Ubuntu. is there a standard way to maintain a patch on top of a Debian package, so that the Ubuntu package points to the right qemu location?15:52
micahgmcclurmc: http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/27/different-dependencies-between-debian-and-ubuntu-but-common-source-package/, see #416:02
mcclurmcthanks, micahg16:02
hggdhhallyn: thanks16:28
mcclurmcmicahg: thanks for the link raphael's blog. unfortunately, it wasn't what i needed16:35
micahgmcclurmc: not the specifics, but the general concept should be there (dpkg-vendor in debian/rules)16:36
mcclurmci need to be able to apply one patch to the upstream source if the package is on debian, and a different patch if the package is on ubuntu16:36
mcclurmcis there a way in debian rules to selectively apply patches from debian/patches?16:36
micahgmcclurmc: ah, then you need a series.DEBIAN and series.UBUNTU file in debian/patches16:36
mcclurmcah ha!16:36
mcclurmcyes, i do need that :)16:36
tumbleweedwatch out for those, it's easy for them to become stale for the other distribution16:36
micahga lot of packages feed dynamic paths through debian/rules which is why I suggested the blog post16:36
tumbleweedbecause you generally only work on one of them16:37
micahgmcclurmc: right, both need the full set of patches16:37
mcclurmcis there documentation for this? a quick google didn't find me anything16:37
PaoloRotoloHi all!16:38
micahgmcclurmc: http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/11/05/managing-distribution-specific-patches-with-a-common-source-package/16:39

adam_gScottK: re bug #1021530, is it correct to prepare a new package for -proposed with the patch that will fix the tests/FTBFS?17:32
