micahgthe top 3 uploaders for quantal so far are not-canonical totalling 25%, nice :)04:11
* ajmitch obviously needs to get in on the haskell action :)04:14
micahgwow, ~5k uploads to quantal already04:14
micahgajmitch: 30 rebuilds will get you on the top 50 list :)04:15
ajmitchdepends if there are 30 left by next week04:16
micahgheh, I'm trying to knock off a few a night04:16
jtayloris new still going to be processed before feature freeze?04:22
StevenKjtaylor: If it uploaded before feature freeze and it's in NEW after, it still counts as before.04:23
jtaylorStevenK: thx thats good04:24
ajmitchStevenK: oh right, you're still an AA that I can bribe?04:25
StevenKajmitch: Whaddya got?04:26
jtaylorthe package I currently have in the queue (fftw3-mpi) is not really new its the same source as the main fftw304:26
jtaylorso it should be easy to process04:26
StevenKTwo sources == bad04:27
ajmitchStevenK: nothing uploaded yet, but I'll try & upload by this weekend04:27
Logan_micahg: so, going off of my question05:06
Logan_what is the best path in that case?05:06
micahgLogan_: so, in cases of non-Ubuntu specific bugs, it's best to get them fixed as far upstream as possible, any diff we carry requires manual work in the future and we want to minimize that where possible/practical05:07
micahgIn cases where the Debian maintainer hasn't been paying attention to the package, if it's a package you care about, you might want to ask if the maintainer would like help with it05:08
Logan_would that be at WNPP?05:08
Logan_or would I e-mail the maintainer directly?05:08
micahgsometimes an RFH is filed, otherwise, you can mail directly and ask if it appears neglected05:09
micahglots of packages are now team maintained, so if you want to help, you can ask to join the team05:09
Logan_okay, awesome05:10
micahgif that doesn't help or isn't appropriate, there are cases when an NMU is appropriate, see http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu05:11
micahgand for the case where it's not RC in Debian but is in Ubuntu, there's the last resort of uploading a fix directly05:12

pipedreamI thought that was lightdm09:20
dholbachpipedream, lightdm is the machinery which starts different greeters - if you ask on #ubuntu-desktop you might get more detailed answers :)09:31

arandIs it possible to request syncs from experimental due to the Debian Freeze?11:13
Laneyyes11:16
arandok, now just the question if upstream will release in a week or a month...11:18
QuintasanIs it acceptable for package to depend on gdb on build-time? There are some tests which require gdb11:36
ZhenechI've seen core packages depend on valgrind, so why not also gdb11:38
Zhenech(IANAUD)11:38
QuintasanZhenech: Ok, thanks.11:40
QuintasanAww11:41
QuintasanIt also wants a X session running11:41
Zhenechthere is something for that too11:41
Zhenechlook at the libdbusmenu, libindicate, libindicator packages11:41
Zhenechalso maybe indicator-session, indicator-messages11:42
Zhenechthey have a full fledged dbus+x testsuite11:42
QuintasanZhenech: Thanks11:45

kirklandpaultag: I did not...16:36
kirklandpaultag: what's up?16:36
paultagkirkland: I was wondering if you'd considered getting overlayfs into Debian16:37
paultag(as a module, not part of the default kernel)16:37
kirklandpaultag: is debian carrying the overlayfs module?16:37
paultagNo16:37
kirklandpaultag: so, no, I really haven't considered it, honestly16:39
kirklandpaultag: I don't have anything to do with overlayfs, other than being a user of it, with the overlayroot package16:39
kirklandpaultag: I don't run Debian anywhere, on any hardware or vm's16:39
paultagOK16:40
