silviohi. i have been running some automated scans checking that embedded libraries are being licensed correctly. which channel should i join to ask some license related questions for packages? (specifically, i have some questions about libjpeg8)01:13
micahgsilvio: if it's about in archive stuff, you can ask here01:15
silviook. if package X depends on Y,Z and is just a dummy package to pull in those extra packages.. and Y,Z are BSD'ish licenses.. what license should X be?01:17
micahganything compatible...01:17
silviook.. so libjpeg8 is licensed under GPL, but it's a dummy package to pull in permissively licensed jpeg code... and  libjpeg8 has packages dependant on it which are non GPL compatable01:18
silvioerr. libjpeg8 is LGPL01:18
silvioi am wondering ig libjpeg8 is licensed incorrectly.01:22
micahgwe're not using libjpeg8, but libjpeg-turbo01:23
silviolibjpeg8 is a dummy package that pulls in libjpeg-turbo01:23
silvioas far as i can tell01:23
micahgyes01:23
JontheEchidnaright, and the dummy package is not the original work01:23
JontheEchidnasince it is empty01:24
silviohow should dummy packages be licensed?01:24
JontheEchidnathe packaging itself is licensed, using the license specified in debian/copyright of the source package01:24
slangasekthough honestly, if there's anything in the libjpeg8-empty source package that one can legitimately assert copyright over, I think they're doing it wrong. ;)01:25
JontheEchidnaright, and no derivative work would actually be linking against anything in there01:25
silviook, that makes sense. i wasn't sure if that was the case or not. so not an issue. i have been running a scan checking embedded-code-copies.txt and making sure embedded libraries that are GPL are embedded in GPL compatable packages.01:26
silvioi don't think i've seen anything else that presented as an issue so far.01:26
silviook. thanks guys. cya01:27

shadeslayerev: ping13:30
shadeslayerev: I'm trying to merge live-build from debian, and there's a ubuntu specific patch that adds a framebuffer to initramfs, is that patch still valid for quantal?13:35
shadeslayeri.e. are wubi installs still supported?13:35
cjwatsonIf you're merging live-build, keep all our custom patches.13:36
evshadeslayer: yes13:36
evyes they are13:36
shadeslayercjwatson: some of them have been applied upstream13:36
cjwatsonIt's not worth dropping things in a merge only to discover that we needed them.13:36
cjwatsonWell, that's not dropping them then, is it :-)13:36
shadeslayerofcourse :P13:36
shadeslayercjwatson: btw, could you look into ubuntu-armhf-support.patch and ubuntu-kernel-img-conf.patch13:36
cjwatsonNot today or tomorrow.13:36
shadeslayerfor armhf, live build upstream does a special case ... but it's different from armel13:37
shadeslayeroh ok13:37
shadeslayerI'll disable it for now, since I'm not aiming at armhf13:37
cjwatsonThen your merge needs to not go to the Ubuntu archive.13:37
shadeslayerofcourse13:37
cjwatsonWe have to keep armhf working.13:37
shadeslayerI don't have upload rights anyway :P13:37
shadeslayerplus, I wasn't planning on uploading to archive anyway13:38
cjwatsonRight, but you might have been planning to propose it for review.13:38
shadeslayernope13:38
shadeslayerI wanted to consult you before even uploading for review13:38
shadeslayercjwatson: could you let me know when we can discuss this?13:39
* shadeslayer can plan accordingly13:39
cjwatsonPersonally I'm afraid I find reviewing merges much harder than just doing them.13:39
shadeslayerhaha :D13:39
cjwatsonBecause I generally have to basically do the merge in order to review it effectively.13:39
shadeslayerI understand :)13:39
cjwatsonSo I'd certainly be happy (well, more or less) to do the merge later this week - but I only have a couple of hours left today, and a funeral to attend tomorrow13:40
shadeslayercjwatson: I'll probably upload this to my ppa for now, and I'll give you the link :)13:40

micahginfinity: yes, but I thought we don't specifically add those to in archive packages since we have the ddebs16:25

xnoxbarry: X can rotate screen 90 degrees... for a reason!20:27

barrystokachu: isn't tzdata is a special sru case?  i'm not exactly sure what the rules for it are20:30
xnoxstokachu: as in it's installer component, and we will need to refresh all of them before final image respin type of thing?20:32
ScottKAlso it's got a micro-release exception, IIRC.20:34
stokachubarry: im under the impression tzdata policy is pretty relaxed20:37
stokachuxnox: its probably a good idea to do that if its not to late20:38
barryslangasek: do you know what the scoop is for tzdata sru?20:38
slangasekbarry: it's data, and if it's not up to date it's a bug by definition; so we take the full upstream bump as an SRU for all releases20:39
slangaseknot sure if this is documented anywhere, let me check and fix if not20:39
=== morphis|away is now known as morphis
infinitybarry: With tzdata SRUs, we just take the upstream data, and do a bit of verfication that it (a) fixes specific bugs we wanted fixed and (b) doesn't horribly regress and make everyone appear to be in Tanzania.20:39
slangasekhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#tzdata20:39
slangasekyes, it's documented :)20:39
barryslangasek: does it still go through -proposed?20:39

barryslangasek: so then stokachu needs to change his changelog entry to precise-proposed20:42
slangasekbarry: correct20:42
stokachuah ok20:42
barryand i suppose also file an sru bug20:42
stokachuso does my name appear on the changelog?20:42
barrystokachu: and link the bug to your branch20:42
stokachuso a normal sru process where i update the changelog and link related branch20:43
barrystokachu: i think it would be fine to include the above url to the verification procedure20:43
barrystokachu: i think so20:43
stokachubarry: as the test case you mean?20:44
barryright20:44
stokachuok gotcha20:44
stokachuill do that now20:44
barrythanks20:44
stokachubarry: do you mind accepting the series nomination for precise in the bug?20:45

barrystokachu: done!20:46
stokachuso for this since there was no ubuntu version im starting at 0.1? tzdata (2012d-1ubuntu0.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low20:49
stokachuor just ubuntu120:49
micahgstokachu: it needs to go to all releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update_the_packaging for versioning suggestions20:51
stokachumicahg: cool thanks that helps a lot20:54
barrystokachu: and "dpkg --compare-versions" can help20:54
infinitystokachu: Traditionally, we've gone with something like -0ubuntu0.11.10 -0ubuntu0.10.04, and such.20:54
infinitystokachu: FTR, given that this is done by glibc maintainers in Debian, I don't mind if you pass this off to me for Ubuntu as well (I've done it in the past).20:55
slangasekit's probably worth plucking a previous SRU bug out of the changelog and looking at how it's been done in the past20:56
infinityOr looking at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+publishinghistory20:57
infinityWhich shows fairly consistent versioning.20:57
stokachui dont think there is one in the changelog20:57
infinity(Except for hardy, which requires a repack...)20:57
stokachulol lp times out20:57
slangasekinfinity: I meant for a template for the SRU bug20:58

stokachubarry: ok i updated the MP, wrote the sru template, and linked the branch21:02
stokachuthough i followed the link micahg sent about the versioning and appended 0.121:04
micahgstokachu: hrm, that's not quite right...it has to go to all releases21:04
infinitystokachu: Following what we've done with the packages in the past might be nice.21:04
micahgI guess that doc doesn't make it clear in the uncommon case where you want to push a new upstream version to all releases21:06
* micahg fixes21:06
stokachuyea i think im confused by what you mean on how to push to all releases21:07
stokachuor the proper way21:07
barrystokachu: also the 2012d-1 changelog entry looks weird (i did a bzr pull of your branch)21:07
infinitystokachu: You looked at the publishing history, right?21:08
stokachuinfinity: ok i can do that, something like 0.12.04.1?21:08
stokachuor leave off the .121:08
infinitystokachu: -0ubuntu0.12.0421:08
infinitystokachu: And every other release.21:08
infinitystokachu: It needs to go to all of them.21:08
infinitystokachu: Plus, hardy needs a repack, as hardy's dpkg-dev can't deal with the source format in later releases.21:09
stokachui tried looking at the publishing history but lp was timing out with a oops21:10
infinitystokachu: Right, so, the publishing history would show you that when $devel_release has 1.2.3-1, then we backport to older releases as 1.2.3-0ubuntu0.12.04, etc.21:11
infinitystokachu: With the exception of hardy, which we can discuss after that bit's done. ;)21:11
infinitystokachu: Cause tzdata in hardy is a bit icky.21:11
slangasekstokachu: are you using this link?: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+publishinghistory21:11
slangasekloads for me21:12
infinitystokachu: And, as much as merge proposals are fun and all, I highly recommend you just backport quantal's package with nothing more than a changelog entry with the new version, and dump the sources somewhere for someone to verify and sign.21:12
stokachuyea it just came up now21:12
infinitystokachu: Cause, well.  A bazillion line MP is pointless.  Something I can diff against quantal and say "yeahp, that's identical except for the changelog", is easier.21:13
stokachuinfinity: ah, understood ill do that from now on21:13
micahginfinity: umm, unless there were packaging changes to make it work, wouldn't it just be better to use the new upstream tarball + changelog entry?21:13
infinitymicahg: Actually, I may have uupdated with the new tarball (minus the hardy abomination) in the past.  Good point.21:14
infinitymicahg: Easy enough to verify that theory. :P21:14
infinitymicahg: Hrm.  Well, it's hard to say how I did my last update in 2011, but my diffs sure were readable. :P21:15
* infinity grabs the sources.21:16
micahginfinity: seems that's what pitti did on the last update21:17
micahgtarball + changelog21:17
stokachuinfinity: do you actually mind doing this one so i can see how it is done? that way i can get it right next time21:17
infinitymicahg: Yeah, looks like it was a straight uupdate.  That said, the end result was no different from what I outlined above, except that the changelog ends up a bit odd, and that debian/copyright is wrong. :P21:17
infinitymicahg: So, I'd argue that the "backport quantal's version" method is actually more correct.21:17
micahginfinity: you have to be careful about that for earlier stable releases in case the packaging changed, but in the case of precise, sure, it works :)21:19
infinitymicahg: Diffing for packaging changes isn't rocket surgery.21:19
infinitymicahg: We know hardy breaks and needs special treatment, but that's true no matter how you approach it.21:19
micahginfinity: sure, but once you say backport, not everyone will know to do that :)21:19
infinitymicahg: (Since the orig is a tar.xz, which don't work so smashingly well in hardy)21:19
infinitymicahg: Even if I don't say backport, people will screw that part up. :P21:20
infinitymicahg: Until they know why.21:20
micahgyes, we got xz source support in lucid, just not xz binary support21:20
barryinfinity, stokachu maybe update that sru page #tzdata section with more details on the best way to handle the package?21:20
infinitybarry: Yeah, I'll continue my debate with micahg in my head, and then write up a slightly better bit in the docs.21:21
stokachuthat would be awesome21:21
barrythanks!21:21
micahgstokachu: and I've updated that wiki for versioning tips for a new upstream release21:21
infinityIt sort of goes both ways, of course.  "backport what's in $devel" means that if we change packaging in devel due tp upstream format changes, etc, it'll DTRT.  But it also, as micahg points out, has the chance that new packaging changes might blow up on old releases.21:22
stokachumicahg: awesome, im reading that now21:22
infinitySo, there's a bit of common sense "diff against old release and make sure nothing weird  happened" in there.21:22
infinityNo matter which route you go, you need to "diff old release with $devel to see what changed in packaging, if anything".21:22
infinityThankfully, tzdata isn't wildly complex, and other than the orig format changing, the packaging hasn't really changed in eons for any meaningful reason.21:23
stokachumicahg: so your example shows for new upstream release would be something like 2012d-1ubuntu0.12.04.1?21:29
infinitystokachu: I'll update the tzdata bit on the wiki specifically.21:30
infinitystokachu: And no, that version would be wrong, as it would be higher than quantal.21:30
micahgstokachu: if you're basing it on the Debian package, yes, otherwise -0ubuntu0.12.04.1, but that has the unfortunate side effect of being higher than quantal, so you'd want to do 2012d-1~ubuntu12.04.1 if you're basing it on the quantal package21:30
stokachuah ok21:30
infinityAhh, dangit, we have different debconfiscation in older versions.  Yeah, uupdate is going to be the way to go.21:31
infinityBut I will update debian/copyright on this update, since it's wrong.21:31
stokachuah uupdate yet another tool i need to be familiar with21:32

infinitystokachu: And, at http://lucifer.0c3.net/~adconrad/tz.tgz you'll find a tarball of what I just uploaded, so you can have a quick look at the final product and compare with the wiki instructions and see if the two seem to mesh and make sense.22:36
infinitystokachu: To be fair, like I said, I don't mind owning tzdata anyway, but I always want to make sure that the "I'm on vacation being hit by several busses" instructions are sane, and that you've learned something from it all. :)22:38
micahginfinity: for the hardy instructions, shouldn't the first copy be for an .orig.tar.xz?22:41
micahgoh, hrm22:42
* micahg doesn't get why a repack is needed then...22:42
infinitymicahg: It used to do tarball-in-tarball, then switched to 3.0(quilt)22:43
infinitymicahg: It's not xz that's the problem, I was miremembering, it's dpkg-source 3.022:44
micahginfinity: why not just switch it to not use tarbal and tarball to skip the repacks?22:44
micahg* tarball in tarball22:44
micahgthat's fine, as long as you're not updating the packaging, that should be irrelevant22:44
infinitymicahg: Did hardy do 3.0?22:44
micahgno22:44
infinityWell, then.  That's why...22:45
micahgbut who cares, it's an .orig.tar.gz22:45
ScottKAnd tarball in tarball is awful.22:45
infinityI mean, okay, someone could change the hardy packaging violently to neither match later releases nor previous, but who cares?22:45
micahgScottK: yes, chrisccoulson finally rid the Mozilla stuff of that (don't think it's hit stable yet though)22:45
micahginfinity: well, make the change once and make future updates sane?22:46
