| dholbach | ev, mpt: it'd be great if you could have a look at http://benjaminkerensa.com/2012/08/23/canonical-privacy-policy-for-zeitgeist-is-insufficient and see if there's anything you would add | 08:44 |
| seb128 | dholbach, ev, mpt: the title seems misleading, the guy is rather concerned about the "datas sent to canonical" part and unsure if that includes zg datas since they are in the same settings panel | 08:45 |
| dholbach | yes - that's what I tried to explain in the last comment | 08:46 |
| ev | seb128, dholbach: I could be mistaken, but I think mpt was already working with Andrew Sinclair on the text | 08:47 |

| rsalveti | there's also another patch for xf86-video-omap to properly use the platformProbe call | 10:39 |
| rsalveti | which makes the probe a lot easier, and without conflicting with the fbdev device (which checks for the platform slot before initializing itself, same as it was doing already for pci based devices) | 10:40 |

| Andy80 | dholbach, hi! even this link http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/singlehtml from this page http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tools/packaging/ is broken. | 11:10 |
| dholbach | Andy80, yes - it's on my list :) | 11:10 |
| Andy80 | cool ;) | 11:10 |
| Andy80 | dholbach, I'm re-reading for the *n time the packaging docs. There is a python application that I use that is not available in repositories yet. I want to start with that... it's just a simple one :) p.s: no, not telling the name in public or someone faster than me will package it removing me the motivation to learn :D | 11:12 |
| dholbach | Andy80, keep your motivation, but ask if you run into trouble, ok? :) | 11:15 |
| Andy80 | dholbach, sure :) | 11:16 |
| Andy80 | the first thing I don't understand is this command: bzr dh-make hello 2.7 hello-2.7.tar.gz - what it does exactly? What if my source code is not on bazaar? | 11:23 |
| dholbach | Andy80, AFAIK it will import the hello-2.7.tar.gz tarball you have on your disk locally into a fresh and new bzr branch | 11:25 |
| dholbach | and give you some initial packaging | 11:25 |
| dholbach | if it's not clear enough in the guide, please file a bug :) | 11:25 |
| Andy80 | dholbach, ah ok. yeas it makes sense... I mean, the person who is packaging is supposed to upload the sources and debian/ folder on launchpad so other people can check it. | 11:26 |
| Andy80 | I will just read for now since as I told you my app is not compilable with "make", it's a Python app and I want to read the differences explained here: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/python-packaging.html before executing any command | 11:27 |

| Andy80 | about this document http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/python-packaging.html - to package a Python application I do have to use dh_python2 instead of dh_make ? Does my app need to have a setup.py already? What if it's just one *.py file and I need the debian/install to copy it to /usr/bin folder? Thanks | 12:46 |
| cjwatson | dh_python2 and dh_make are quite different categories of things, despite the similar name | 12:47 |
| cjwatson | dh_python2 is a tool run as part of the execution of debian/rules | 12:47 |
| cjwatson | dh_make is a tool that writes out template packaging files for you to modify, including debian/rules | 12:48 |
| cjwatson | if it's just one .py file, you should likely install it by hand in an override_dh_auto_install: rule in debian/rules rather than listing it in debian/install, since dh_install (which processes debian/install) will preserve the extension and policy says that programs in /usr/bin/ should not have a scripting language extension such as .py | 12:49 |

| seb128 | mr_pouit, no, is libido even having an user out of indicator-sound? | 13:11 |
| seb128 | mr_pouit, but you are right, it should probably have been made a private lib to indicators | 13:12 |

| rsalveti | and would be nice if someone else could also review and test it | 15:18 |
| rsalveti | so we can try to land at quantal asap | 15:18 |
| pitti | slangasek: it currently invalidates bugs if the retraced stack trace is bad and there are obsolete or missing packages; I guess in this case the retracing failed due to another reason, though (sometimes the memory is just too corrupted, and sometimes I have the feeling gdb is just not trying hard enough..) | 15:18 |

| stgraber | hallyn: sorry, was blind, I didn't see you indeed pushed it, so nothing needed on your side | 16:29 |
| bigon | do we want these provider? in debian gypsy is not built (due to the huge security fail that it contained), gpsd is not even building iirc | 16:29 |

| tedg | I mean, if it's disabled today, that's fine. | 16:31 |
| bigon | the thing is that I'm not sure about the mismatch of version between geoclue and geoclue-provider pkg | 16:32 |
| seb128 | bigon, it just means nobody has been maintaining and updating geoclue-provider | 16:32 |

| roaksoax | Hi gusy I have a packaging question. 'maas' currently Depends on 'maas-provision', however, the newer 'maas' I'll upload no longer does. So I was wondering what should be in debian/control in order for 'maas-provision' to be uninstalled on upgrade | 16:47 |
| cjwatson | roaksoax: Is maas-provision intended to be removed from the archive? | 16:49 |
| roaksoax | cjwatson: yes | 16:49 |
| cjwatson | roaksoax: Then Conflicts: maas-provision + Replaces: maas-provision | 16:51 |
| cjwatson | You might need Provides as well if other packages currently depend on maas-provision (but you often don't) | 16:51 |
| roaksoax | cjwatson: right, so that's what I was thinking, but manually testing I got something like "can't remove maas-provision because maas (older version) still depends on it" | 16:52 |
| slangasek | roaksoax: manually testing with dpkg, or with apt? | 16:54 |
| roaksoax | slangasek: dpkg | 16:54 |
| slangasek | roaksoax: wrong tool :) | 16:54 |
| slangasek | roaksoax: you either need to pass a slew of additional options to dpkg to accurately test this, or you should test using apt | 16:54 |
| roaksoax | slangasek: alright! I'll get it tested with apt! Thanks for the info :) | 16:55 |

| jdstrand | infinity: not especially other than to ask who the upstream is and how responsive are they? | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | BadDesign: We never hand out release times in advance. | 17:11 |
| infinity | jdstrand: Upstream is Rob Clark from TI, plus the general X usual suspects. | 17:11 |
| ogra_ | its the same person maintaining the omap4 binary driver at TI | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | BadDesign: Largely because we generally simply don't set a time. | 17:12 |

| mlankhorst | yay | 18:24 |
| mlankhorst | time to update my panda to quantal I suppose :) | 18:24 |
| goddard | Contributing to the Ubuntu Wiki is a pain | 18:37 |
| goddard | Any plans to change it? | 18:38 |
| mlankhorst | howso? just create a account? | 18:40 |
| goddard | you would think it is that easy | 18:43 |
| goddard | but when i last contributed i had to actually download a bzr package, edit it, build html, and upload it | 18:44 |
| goddard | I did some contributions to the packaging guide | 18:45 |
| slangasek | wiki.ubuntu.com doesn't involve any of those things; what wiki are you talking about? | 18:47 |
| xnox | goddard: well yes, packaging guide and e.g. server guide etc. do require that, because they are not hosted on the wiki, but rather available in a few formats & translations | 18:49 |
| xnox | goddard: help.ubuntu.com/community and wiki.ubuntu.com can be edited directly in the web-browser. | 18:49 |
| goddard | ahh i see | 19:00 |
| goddard | is there a reason why the packaging guide isn't on the wiki as well? | 19:01 |
| mlankhorst | goddard: because they have to be shipped separately and not only to the wiki :) | 19:13 |
| xnox | goddard: because packaging guide can be translated, and the wiki does not support translations. | 19:47 |
| TJ- | A recent change to the nvidia DKMS drivers package has broken another package such that it won't conceivably ever work again. What's the procedure in such cases? | 19:48 |
| infinity | TJ-: That might need to be slightly less vague. | 19:48 |
| TJ- | infinity: bug #1039916 ... look at the last comment | 19:49 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1039916 in nvclock (Ubuntu) "Nvidia driver causing SIGSEGV in nvclock and smartdimmer" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1039916 | 19:49 |
| infinity | TJ-: But if it's "some third-party tool relied on a feature that the upstream binary driver no longer provides", the solution would be to (A) remove the third-party tool from the archive, and (B) make the nvidia packages conflict with it. | 19:49 |
| infinity | Oh, in precise, we wouldn't do the removal bit. | 19:49 |
| infinity | But certainly, having the driver conflict with the tool, if there's really no way to fix the tool, would work. | 19:50 |
| TJ- | OK... it'll affect Q too of course | 19:50 |
| infinity | TJ-: You might also want to talk to Marc, since it was his patch that broke things (now that I've read the whole bug report). | 19:52 |
| infinity | TJ-: But if it's a tradeoff between dimmer control and priviledge escalation, with no way to compromise on fixing both, I suspect security wins. | 19:53 |
| TJ- | infinity: Yes, I was planning on emailing him. I think the patch is a good one - nvclock is using not-quite-approved hacks to do its thing, so I think nvclock has to give | 19:53 |
| TJ- | infinity: There is an alternative project developing for an nvida backlight DKMS kernel module that - when/if it works - does things properly with a /sys/class/backlight/ interface... so I think that should be the preferred route | 19:54 |
| infinity | TJ-: That does seem to be the saner way forward, yeah. | 19:54 |
| TJ- | infinity: besides which I think nvclock has been abandoned by its creator since 2009/10 | 19:55 |
| TJ- | infinity: thanks; I'll figure out who to contact and what to do to let users of nvclock aware and remove it for Q | 19:55 |
| === jibel__ is now known as jibel | ||
| infinity | TJ-: I can remove it from the archive for Q right now, if you think that's the Right Thing To Do, but it'll still need the nvidia-* packaging updated to conflict and force removal on upgrades. | 19:58 |
| TJ- | infinity: Let me check first... if nvidia proprietary isn't used by nouveau or the old nv is, nvclock may still work | 19:58 |
| TJ- | infinity: And all I really wanted was the backlight dimming *sigh* :p | 19:59 |
| nabam | Not certain if this is the correct channel to ask this, but in using patch, is it a possibility to ignore a specific line? | 20:06 |
| Andy80 | I'm working on packaging a project and I want to put my file on LP. Is it ok if I push using this url: bzr push lp:~andreagrandi/PACKAGENAME/packaging ? | 20:28 |
| alesage | Andy80, sounds fine--if not I've been doing it wrong :) | 20:31 |
| Andy80 | alesage: I already tried with bzr push lp:~andreagrandi/PACKAGENAME but it wasn't enough.... maybe the last part is mandatory | 20:32 |
| Andy80 | :) | 20:32 |
| Andy80 | let's try... | 20:32 |
| Andy80 | uhm..... LP says noooooo :\ | 20:33 |
| Andy80 | actually "PROJECTNAME" doesn't exist... | 20:33 |
| Andy80 | maybe I should use +junk ? | 20:33 |
| Andy80 | but it's so odd name... | 20:33 |
| roaksoax | slangasek: so the conflicts/replaces works. However, what about some of the dependencies of maas-provision (dnsmasq, tftp-hpa specifically). I'm currently listing them under conflicts/replaces too but don't know whether that's the correct approach since they only overlap functionality (and not files, etc) | 20:35 |
| Andy80 | ok, pushed in junk | 20:35 |
| === cpg|away is now known as cpg | ||
| xnox | Andy80: bzr push lp:~/ubuntu/quantal/PACKAGENAME/packaging | 20:40 |
| Andy80 | xnox: it's not a package already available in Ubuntu (I'm not a MOTU or something like that neither). I'm just getting started. It's a simple Python utility and I'd like to package it. I've put it in my /+junk/ | 20:43 |
| slangasek | roaksoax: you certainly shouldn't conflict/replace with those, they're not obsolete packages and users can legitimately install them on the same host | 20:43 |
| slangasek | roaksoax: oh, or do they fight over the ports? | 20:44 |
| xnox | Andy80: that's ok then. you could try pushing, it should create a new package name.... I think... maybe not. | 20:44 |
| roaksoax | slangasek: they fight over ports | 20:44 |
| slangasek | roaksoax: ok; a bidirectional conflicts is allowed there - see tftpd-hpa, which already Conflicts: tftpd | 20:44 |
| xnox | I presume EXTLINUX is the new bootloader thing... | 20:46 |
| * xnox is confused why I am having it on non-efi system, but ok =) | 20:46 | |
| roaksoax | slangasek: cool, thanks!! | 20:47 |
| slangasek | xnox: no, EXTLINUX is a very old bootloader thing | 20:48 |
| slangasek | efilinux is the EFI one | 20:48 |
| xnox | slangasek: i now ponder why did I install it back in january | 20:51 |
