| * dholbach hugs didrocks | 07:14 | |
| * didrocks hugs dholbach back :) (told you I couldn't last week and that I'll do my shift in a quieter time) | 07:15 | |
| didrocks | Mirv: hey, around? | 07:15 |
| dholbach | didrocks, sure, that's totally fine | 07:16 |
| dholbach | it's just that some folks seem to have moved their piloting sessions to "somewhere in the next five years", which seems to have become a problem | 07:16 |
| didrocks | dholbach: maybe there is a bug in the FHS symlinking to /dev/null :) | 07:17 |
| dholbach | something like that :) | 07:17 |
| pitti | dholbach: many missing patch pilot shifts? | 07:28 |
| dholbach | unfortunately yes | 07:28 |
| dholbach | and what's most depressing is that there are lots of requests in there which are very easy to deal with, so somebody putting in an hour could clear out many of them | 07:29 |
| micahg | dholbach: some of us are still slowed by merge proposals | 07:30 |
| dholbach | micahg, can you explain? | 07:30 |
| micahg | dholbach: any simple thing that has a merge proposal vs debdiff for me multiplies the time needed to handle it | 07:31 |
| dholbach | really? | 07:31 |
| micahg | yeah | 07:31 |
| dholbach | bzr branch A; cd A; bzr merge B; bzr bd -- -S | 07:31 |
| dholbach | in a lot of cases that's all you need to do | 07:32 |
| micahg | yeah, and then push back up (and possibly a commit or 2 for fixing stuff up) | 07:32 |
| dholbach | ah, I often don't push it but let the importer do it :) | 07:33 |
| Pelam | I'm at a loss for the best way to offer a patch to mod_auth_mysql package in Ubuntu. Suggestions? | 07:33 |
| micahg | dholbach: that kinda defeats the whole purpose of using a VCS IMHO | 07:34 |
| dholbach | in any case it gets the patch into Ubuntu - if I do the commit or the importer does it - I'm not sure where the difference is | 07:34 |
| dholbach | for me it's a step less | 07:34 |
| Pelam | Is this the correct channel for my question? | 07:35 |
| Mirv | didrocks: hey | 07:35 |
| didrocks | Mirv: hey, look at my question on the font MR | 07:35 |

| dholbach | Pelam, yes - either here or #ubuntu-motu | 07:35 |
| dholbach | Pelam, you can file a bug, as sladen suggested, then attach your patch and subscribe the 'ubuntu-sponsors' team which will get somebody to take a look at it | 07:36 |
| dholbach | alright, I need to rush off to the doctor - see you in a bit | 07:36 |
| Pelam | Thanks guys! It's more like a feature so I was hesitant to submit it as a bug :) | 07:37 |

| didrocks | Mirv: I had a followup on it | 08:13 |
| didrocks | Mirv: you need the Qt version from -proposed | 08:13 |
| didrocks | Mirv: can you please repropose it and get the changelog targetting -proposed? | 08:13 |
| Mirv | didrocks: ah, sorry, the proposal was not very useful since the libreoffice bug filed is only a part of the larger, old bug | 08:21 |
| Mirv | didrocks: and I don't think it's very sensible to change the font without editing the sources, and the sources cannot be edited with free tools alas | 08:21 |
| didrocks | Mirv: ok, keep me posted if anything changed in that front | 08:22 |
| Mirv | I will, there is some recent action at least now on the old bug | 08:22 |
| Laney | is LO still broken with just the qt4-x11 patch? | 08:23 |
| didrocks | Mirv: ^ as you tested it (only tested your patched font with qt4-x11 patch and was looking fine in LO) | 08:24 |

| didrocks | bkerensa: Vcs-Bzr is not targetting upstream, it's where the packaging lives officially | 09:14 |
| didrocks | if it doesn't have the issue, it means that it's either been fixed recently or that the next upload will fix it :) | 09:14 |
| didrocks | (if you are speaking about that above MR ^) | 09:16 |

| cousteau | aptitude 0.6.8.1 seems to fix the multiarch bug (I think). Would it be possible to merge it to quantal and backport it to precise and other versions? | 09:18 |
| didrocks | cousteau: if it's a bug fix only release, should be possible for quantal. Care to work on that? :) | 09:19 |
| didrocks | cousteau: I don't know the diff between 0.6.6 (precise) and 0.6.8, I think the safest for precise would be to cherry-pick the commit | 09:20 |

| cjwatson | aptitude sponsorship> sponsoring a merge for that package will be way more effort than doing it | 09:26 |
| cjwatson | IME | 09:26 |
| Laney | apparently it was Cody though | 09:26 |
| cousteau | didrocks, anyway I don't think patching/testing is needed since that has already done in debian | 09:26 |
| cjwatson | cousteau: I'll have a look at it | 09:27 |
| mvo | cjwatson: hi, someone told me about issues with the upgrade and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-keyring/+bug/1053896/comments/2 is the root cause. any thoughts what we should do ? push the update for ubuntu-keyring into -update real quick? or fix the update-manager in precise to be robust about missing keys (as long as there is a single valid sig)? | 09:27 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1053896 in ubuntu-keyring (Ubuntu Precise) "Add new archive key to precise" [Medium,Fix committed] | 09:27 |
| cousteau | (0.6.8.1 is already in debian testing) | 09:27 |
| hrw | one day I will grep to hunt and kill "Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)" message | 09:27 |
| cjwatson | mvo: Oh seriously? Argh | 09:27 |
| cousteau | and since aptitude in oneiric/precise is in "Don't use it" state, I think backporting would be a good idea | 09:28 |
| cjwatson | cousteau: unfortunately the patch will probably be unSRUably huge | 09:28 |
| cjwatson | from previous experience | 09:28 |
| cjwatson | so leave that 'til later 'cos thinking about it is just going to slow me down getting it into quantal | 09:28 |
| cjwatson | pitti: ^- would you be happy to rubber-stamp a waiver of the usual waiting period for ubuntu-keyring/precise, to unbreak upgrades? | 09:29 |
| cjwatson | mvo: and once we do that, will do-release-upgrade force the ubuntu-keyring upgrade first, or do we need some kind of special measures? | 09:29 |
| cousteau | ok, I've got to go now, see you | 09:29 |
| pitti | cjwatson: I don't have any formal authority about this any more, but this looks fine to me to release now | 09:30 |
| pitti | well, TB hat I guess | 09:30 |
| pitti | even on a Friday | 09:30 |
| cjwatson | TB hat was what I was aiming for :) | 09:31 |
| cjwatson | right, it's a serious enough issue that I'm going to do it and apologise later if it bothers somebody, then | 09:31 |
| cjwatson | mvo: copied | 09:32 |
| pitti | risk/benefit is sufficiently small here IMHO | 09:32 |
| cjwatson | we may end up having to revert to a single-signed Release if the problem is still gnarly, although I'd hope not to | 09:32 |
| mvo | cjwatson: we should probably add a dependency and do a SRU for update-manager, but there is no trivial way to enforce this I think because it happens before the release upgrader itself is run | 09:32 |
| mvo | (or update-manager-core) | 09:32 |
| mvo | but let me think a little bit about it | 09:32 |
| cjwatson | Wait, this is just for the signature on the upgrade tool itself, right, not the signature on Release? | 09:33 |
| mvo | cjwatson: just on the upgrade tool itself | 09:33 |
| cjwatson | I could easily change ubuntu-archive-publishing to single-sign the upgrade tool | 09:33 |
| mvo | cjwatson: would be a reasonable short term I think | 09:33 |
| mvo | cjwatson: what do you think long(er) term? make the release upgrader accept a single sig if another one is missing? | 09:34 |
| cjwatson | Yeah, I think it should behave like apt | 09:34 |
| mvo | cjwatson: ok, I will work on a fix | 09:35 |
| didrocks | cjwatson: python-defaults was uploaded as a native package it seems, was it wanted? | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | didrocks: I just matched the previous version | 09:39 |
| didrocks | cjwatson: sorry, not sure to get you, you mean that the previous version was also treated as a native package, right? | 09:40 |
| cjwatson | yes | 09:40 |
| cjwatson | didrocks: looking at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python-defaults/, it seems to have been consistently native for a long time | 09:40 |
| didrocks | cjwatson: ok, continuing that path then until next upstream version I guess :) just checking, thanks! | 09:41 |
| didrocks | pitti: https://code.launchpad.net/~bkerensa/ubuntu/quantal/app-install-data-ubuntu/fix-for-control/+merge/126892 -> rejected please as it's the branch without the same base we discussed above. | 09:45 |
| chrisccoulson | can anyone think why gcc-4.6 in precise would silently ignore the "section" attribute on a global variable, when it works fine with gcc-4.7 in quantal? | 09:55 |
| chrisccoulson | oh, never mind, i figured it out | 10:07 |
| pitti | didrocks: that URL doesn't exist; I suppose someone already deleted the MP? | 10:07 |

| cjwatson | ogra_: Why? | 10:53 |

| ogra_ | cjwatson, it will cause questions on upgrades, no ? | 10:54 |

| * ogra_ blushes and hides somewhere | 10:54 | |
| cjwatson | ogra_: It doesn't copy the results of casper patching stuff | 10:55 |
| cjwatson | Quite deliberately :-) | 10:55 |
| ogra_ | yeah | 10:55 |
| mlankhorst | tkamppeter: there was a different bug that also affected that hardware rthat owuld have been fixable, but in this case it just reports that some connector on vga-1 is found without edid | 10:55 |
| tkamppeter | mlankhorst, I have also another new X problem, which appeared after an update some days ago. Sometimes, when I stay away from my PC for longer time and the screen power saving kicks in, I cannot return to my desktop, I get a black screen with only the mouse cursor. | 10:55 |
| mlankhorst | which is, sadly, valid | 10:55 |
| mlankhorst | tkamppeter: sigh, I'll run a valgrind over it again.. | 10:55 |
| didrocks | ogra_: you put me in doubt for a sec :-) | 10:55 |
| ogra_ | sorry | 10:55 |
| didrocks | no worry :) | 10:56 |
| mlankhorst | tkamppeter: do you know if X is still alive at that point? | 10:56 |
| tkamppeter | mlankhorst, you mean the valgrind for the black screen problem? | 10:56 |
| mlankhorst | tkamppeter: maybe, do you know if X still runs at that point or not? | 10:57 |
| tkamppeter | mlankhorst, is there a way to "blacklist" VGA1? The GPU is part of the CPU and probably there arte motherboards with different plug configurations. Perhaps mine has some kind of "dead circuit" telling to the on-CPU GPU that there is a VGA screen. | 10:58 |
| tkamppeter | mlankhorst, unfortunately, I do not have another i5 board here. | 10:59 |
| mlankhorst | you had a workaround for blacklisting it.. | 10:59 |
| mlankhorst | but unfortunately there are a lot of broken displays out there that may not have a valid edid | 10:59 |
| tkamppeter | mlankhorst, I tried a workaround, adding video=VGA1:d to the kernel command line, but this did not change anything. | 11:00 |
| tkamppeter | For the black screen, X was probably still running, as the mouse cursor was there and I could move it with the mouse. | 11:01 |
| mlankhorst | can you file a bug after that happens so all the relevant logs are attached? | 11:01 |
| tkamppeter | mlankhorst, according to the display part of GNOME settings my monitor is discovered with its correct product name and native resolution. | 11:02 |

| ScottK | doko: re avogadro - tons of direct GL calls that aren't going to work on our armhf (it last built on arm* in natty), so that's not happening. | 12:44 |
| mlankhorst | unless you can convince upstream it's not a problem on windows i think nothing will happen :\ | 12:45 |
| doko | ScottK, looked like a float/double/q_float thing again | 12:45 |
| ScottK | No, it's GL. | 12:47 |
| ScottK | Even if it weren't, fixing whatever it is wouldn't help since the GL issues are still there. | 12:47 |
| pitti | doko: well, *shrug*, if that proves anything, it's that our arm builders have a problem | 12:52 |
| pitti | doko: I really don't want to disable tests for umpteen packages just because they occasionally fail | 12:52 |
| pitti | can't we just retry the build? | 12:52 |
| doko | pitti, I can understand it. had retried now three times. let's keep it open until we can address it in some form | 12:53 |
| pitti | hm, I guess at last upload we still had the armel builders running on natty's kernel | 12:54 |
| ogra_ | that must have been long ago then | 12:54 |
| ogra_ | buildds switched to hf quite a while ago i think | 12:54 |
| pitti | well, if "long ago" means "two weeks", then sure | 12:54 |
| pitti | 1:0.2.69 was uploaded on September 6 | 12:55 |
| ogra_ | (one or two releases) | 12:55 |
| pitti | ogra_: but until recently they were running natty kernels; now they are running precise's and are swapping themselves to death | 12:55 |
| ogra_ | the kernel should be the same for hf and el | 12:55 |
| cjwatson | not that long | 12:55 |
| cjwatson | https://rt.admin.canonical.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=51115 | 12:55 |
| ogra_ | it should just use different chroots | 12:55 |
| pitti | ogra_: yes, it is | 12:55 |
| pitti | ogra_: and armel and -hf also have the same problems in e. g. glib | 12:56 |
| ogra_ | hmm | 12:56 |
| pitti | it's pure luck that u-d-common failed on one and succeeded on the other | 12:56 |
| cjwatson | in fact that indicates nihal is still on a natty kernel (as of that last update anyway) | 12:56 |
| cjwatson | though the referenced ticket number is wrong | 12:56 |
| ogra_ | i know ppisati's last merge fixed a ton of issues with power management (or rather cpufreq), i wonder if we could switch to a quantal kernel for them | 12:57 |
| ogra_ | pitti, did you do a testbuild on a quantal panda locally by chance ? | 13:00 |

| pitti | oh, scheat is back? | 13:03 |
| pitti | indeed | 13:03 |
| ogra_ | Daviey, they will very likely use the same kernel as the buildds | 13:04 |
| pitti | still, time to update my panda board | 13:04 |
| ogra_ | wont help much for checking if its a kernel issue :) | 13:04 |

| pitti | so I'll test build on my panda with the quantal one | 13:04 |
| * pitti dist-upgrades first, that'll take a bit | 13:05 | |
| stgraber | ogra_: I think we need to get sysctl to run whenever we get network-device-added, though it's something we need to think about carefully and not rush into a release... | 13:09 |
| stgraber | jodh might have an opinion on that as IIRC he's touched-it-last on procps :) | 13:09 |
| ogra_ | stgraber, yeah, i didnt mean to rush or anything it just made me feel bad that such a bug is open since 2006 | 13:10 |
| ogra_ | and it would be easy to work around it from bridge-utils until a proper fix is in upstart/procps | 13:10 |
| ogra_ | for a proper fix upstart shoudl just emit a bridged-network-up event or some such that could be added to porcps.conf | 13:11 |
| * ogra_ glares at his fingers | 13:11 | |
| stgraber | ogra_: udev will send a network-device-added even, so "start on ... or network-device-added" and have it run in "instance" mode would do the trick | 13:13 |
| ogra_ | ah, procps already has network device event code, but restricts that to static i think | 13:14 |
| stgraber | well, procps start condition would work with bridges if it wasn't for the "or virtual-filesystems" part | 13:14 |
| ogra_ | yeah | 13:15 |
| stgraber | as virtual-filesystems is usually emitted before static-network-up | 13:15 |
| stgraber | if it was just "start on static-network-up", it'd most likely work fine with bridges, though it may break other things as it'd likely be starting much later on most systems | 13:15 |
| stgraber | one of those things is the ipv6 privext key that we usually like to have set as early as possible (before bringing up the network) | 13:16 |
| stgraber | so I think the way forward is going to be to apply sysctl once very early (start on virtual-filesystems), then once per interface (using instance + start on network-device-added) and possibly also once per kernel module load (if we can get an event for that somehow) | 13:17 |
| stgraber | that should cover all the cases I can think of | 13:17 |
| cjwatson | Daviey,jamespage: so, update on bug 1050595: I've successfully done a 128M install by forcing lowmem mode; but I also had to delete vga=788 from the command line, otherwise lowmem mode just booted to a blank screen.

| smoser | ideally i'd like to copy binaries from quantal to my ppa | 15:04 |
| micahg | smoser: I would think it depends if the binary dependencies are met in precise or not (usually stuff is copied forward though) | 15:04 |
| cjwatson | You can use copy-package to do that | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | lp:ubuntu-archive-tools | 15:05 |
| smoser | micahg, well launchpad in ui for ppa copy alows you to copy binaries. i'm just asking to do the same thing ,but from official-archive -> ppa rather than ppa -> ppa | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | copy-package -s quantal --to-ppa=smoser --to-ppa-name=blah --to-suite=precise <package name> | 15:06 |
| smoser | cjwatson, thanks. that is exactly what i wanted. | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | (source package name, that is) | 15:06 |
| micahg | smoser: right, but what I'm saying is it might not work (the binaries that is):) | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | smoser: oh | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | smoser: add -b | 15:06 |
| smoser | micahg, well of course. | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | otherwise it will rebuild the binaries in your PPA | 15:06 |
| smoser | but copying forward doesn't necessarily work either | 15:06 |
| smoser | (i cna't have it rebuild because i need arm binaries) | 15:07 |
| smoser | so, yeah, thanks. | 15:07 |
| cjwatson | I don't know whether it will copy binaries for an architecture not enabled in your PPA ... | 15:07 |

| Laney | *how* long to build a source package? | 15:07 |

| roaksoax | Howdy! I was wondering how can we avoid asking user input to replace a config file, when dist-upgrading a package? | 17:17 |
| infinity | roaksoax: By not changing conffiles. | 17:30 |
| infinity | roaksoax: If a user changed a conffile, you *want* the prompt, overwriting their changes is bad. | 17:30 |
| infinity | roaksoax: If a package/script changed a conffile, that's a bug. | 17:31 |
| sarnold | infinity: .. the other option is leaving their conf in place without a prompt.. | 17:31 |
| infinity | sarnold: If the user wants that behaviour, they can set that up. | 17:31 |
| cjwatson | sarnold: That can easily create bugs if the package side of the change to the conffile is necessary. | 17:31 |
| cjwatson | Never-overwrite is just as wrong as always-overwrite - it just fails in different situations. | 17:32 |
| sarnold | cjwatson: indeed ;) but most developers try to provide some modicum of backwards-compat most of the time | 17:32 |
| cjwatson | This is why Debian policy is painfully explicit that packages must never edit conffiles. | 17:32 |
| roaksoax | infinity: right, in this particular case we need to change the conffile (in packaging, I know, it is not pretty), so on every upgrade, if upstream conffile has changed, we need to not ask the question and do as required | 17:32 |
| cjwatson | (I mean, other than by changing the shipped version.) | 17:32 |
| cjwatson | roaksoax: There isn't a workaround for this other than having it not be a conffile. | 17:32 |
| sarnold | roaksoax: see 'confold' in dpkg(1) | 17:33 |
| infinity | roaksoax: Erm, either you're wildly violating policy, or I'm misunderestanding what you're doing. | 17:33 |
| cjwatson | This is a bit of Debian policy that is there for a very very very good reason. | 17:33 |
| roaksoax | sarnold: thanks. | 17:33 |
| cjwatson | sarnold: There's no way for a package to set that just for itself. You can only control it for the entire upgrade. | 17:34 |
| cjwatson | Which may be fine in some special cases, but you can't mandate its use. | 17:34 |
| sarnold | cjwatson: that's perfectly fine :) | 17:34 |
| infinity | ...? | 17:34 |
| infinity | Fine in what sense? | 17:34 |
| cjwatson | If this is a cloud image or something where you control the upgrade process, you may be able to get away with it. | 17:35 |
| roaksoax | cjwatson: uhmm right, I think that treating those those files as conffig files for packaging would be a better idea then | 17:35 |
| cjwatson | But otherwise it definitey isn't fine, indeed. | 17:35 |
| cjwatson | *definitely | 17:35 |
| sarnold | infinity: I mean 'fine' in the sense that if a user is tired of being prompted, they can tell the upgrade process to leave them alone and clean up the breakage later, if they please. | 17:35 |
| roaksoax | infinity: again, this is a very special case | 17:35 |
| roaksoax | Daviey: ^^ | 17:35 |
| cjwatson | sarnold: Debian regards mishandling of conffiles in this way as a release-critical bug, and we should too. | 17:35 |
| infinity | roaksoax: What's exactly happening here? Are you shipping conffiles that change from time to time (common thing to do), and users are also constantly changing them? | 17:35 |
| infinity | sarnold: Yes, true, but not something one should recommend to a user either, and roaksoax was looking for a solution for his package, not a solution as a user. | 17:36 |
| roaksoax | infinity: the particular case is that on installation, MAAS needs to atomatically do things (such as create passwords) and modify config files in order for this to work out of the box | 17:36 |
| cjwatson | You need to fight really very hard for it not to need to change conffiles. | 17:37 |
| roaksoax | infinity: so whenever upstream changes the config file in some way, it prompts for user action in upgrade (becuase the config file has been modified by the .postinst file) | 17:37 |
| cjwatson | Otherwise it will absolutely bite you later and you will regret it. | 17:37 |
| infinity | roaksoax: Right, okay. So the scripts themselves are mangling the files. Then yes, those should NOT be conffiles, or you need non-conffile conf.d mechanisms or something for the bits that change. | 17:37 |
| sarnold | infinity: "looking for a solution for his package" is an important piece of the puzzle :) | 17:38 |
| infinity | roaksoax: It's a blatant policy violation to have non-users editing conffiles, which is where your problem lies. | 17:38 |
| roaksoax | infinity: right, so given the lack of conf.d/ I guess that the best approach is not treat them as conffiles. | 17:38 |
| cjwatson | Or add .d support to the relevant packages. | 17:38 |
| roaksoax | infinity: I agree, but in this particular case was a must do to make things "just" work as required | 17:38 |
| cjwatson | That's not likely to be harder than treating them as non-conffiles. It will depend on the situation. | 17:38 |
| roaksoax | cjwatson: i'll raise that upstream! | 17:38 |
| cjwatson | roaksoax: Not mishandling conffiles is a "must do". | 17:38 |
| cjwatson | I realise this is frequently misunderstood, probably because it only bites people six months later. But it is a false economy to skimp on this. | 17:39 |
| infinity | roaksoax: Treating them as non-conffiles ends up with a whole new set of issues, such that you need to either employ fancy things like ucf, or be VERY CAREFUL about how you update the files to not overwrite user changes. | 17:39 |
| infinity | roaksoax: So, yes, conf.d type stuff tends to be a cleaner and easier way to do things like "include 3 small config snippets". | 17:39 |
| roaksoax | i agree | 17:40 |
| stgraber | slangasek: you have a few changes in ubuntu:nfs-utils that haven't been uploaded yet. Are you planning an upload? I'm looking at bug 794112 and wondering if I should upload or just stack add it to what you have in the branch and let you upload | 17:40 |

| cjwatson | .d support is usually easy to patch in even if upstream is uninterested | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | Depending on the exact configuration semantics I suppose | 17:40 |
| roaksoax | cjwatson: the problme is that some of those "conffiles" are .py as they are django config files | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | That should be pretty easy to support, then, given the long tradition of monkey-patching in Python. | 17:41 |
| infinity | Even doing something sketchy like 'run-parts --list | xargs cat' can give you a ghetto .d implementation, if you're not up for doing it in a shiny way. | 17:41 |
| Daviey | we can do .d for that... I have a specific example that should help. | 17:41 |
| infinity | Oh, and while I said that, you mentioned python, so yeah, better ways to do that. :P | 17:41 |
| roaksoax | awesome then | 17:42 |
| roaksoax | can anyone please link me to examples? | 17:42 |
| infinity | roaksoax: It's also entirely possible that some of them shouldn't be conffiles (or config files) at all, don't belong in /etc, and should be in /usr/share, with a simple fopen() to /etc/package/passwordfile. | 17:42 |
| infinity | (I don't know this to be true, but it may well be) | 17:42 |
| xnox | roaksoax: Daviey: wasn't there even package created `dotdee` that does this conffile handling despite upstream not supporting .d dirs. And as far as remember juju doesn't something along the lines like that for e.g. hadoop charm. | 17:43 |
| Daviey | roaksoax: I didn't actually ever upload this.. but i created a .d named settings_override. https://launchpad.net/~davewalker/+archive/cobbler-testing/+packages | 17:43 |
| Daviey | roaksoax: The deal was, that if you had an extra package installed, it added to the settings_override, and it was picked up at run time. | 17:44 |
| xnox | and the situation is not dissimilar. juju tries to make hadoop to work out of the box, by modifying conffiles yet managing the whole process to make it automatic on upgrades. | 17:44 |
| roaksoax | infinity: yeah that's other approach I considered (sourcing /etc/package/passwordfile) | 17:44 |
| roaksoax | Daviey: cool I'll take a look | 17:44 |
| Daviey | roaksoax: anything in the .d is considering a django settings file to append... via __init__.py loading. | 17:45 |

| ppetraki | hallyn, multipath-tools, lvm2, dmsetup at a minimum, kpartx can effect them | 19:08 |
| hallyn | ppetraki: that *is* smaller than the first set of packages i asked for PPU for. (but still a package set seems to make sense) | 19:08 |
| ppetraki | hallyn, which is why I bring up the delegated team concept, akin to the Debian LVM team | 19:09 |
| micahg | ppetraki: I also only see one round of uploads for you with multipath-tools which didn't include any interaction with the package from Debian | 19:09 |
| slangasek | lvm2 gets deep into udev, initramfs, has a massive delta to manage from Debian; I would hope the DMB would not grant PPU/packageset upload rights to lvm2 to someone that they weren't also comfortable making a core-dev | 19:10 |
| ppetraki | micahg, there's at least one for mp, some of my initial work went through hallyn iirc | 19:10 |
| micahg | right, hence my previous comment :) | 19:10 |
| slangasek | (oh, touches the installer too) | 19:11 |
| ppetraki | I could stay out of lvm2 then, simply would need to stay in touch | 19:12 |
| micahg | ppetraki: you're free to contribute to anything through sponsors :) | 19:12 |
| ppetraki | micahg, that's thing, I've taxed hallyn alot for that for multipath-tools and would like to pull my own weight there | 19:13 |
| hallyn | tjaalton: bug 1054095, just curious, you marked it fix committed - where is it committed? | 19:15 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1054095 in terminator (Ubuntu) "Sync terminator 0.96-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1054095 | 19:15 |
| ppetraki | I suppose just multipath-tools rights is fine "Per-package Uploaders" | 19:16 |
| micahg | ppetraki: well, I don't see anything aside from 3 changelog entries, not sure why hallyn didn't credit you in some way in the changelog (even if not having a signature) | 19:16 |
| ppetraki | micahg, I really don't focus on credit :) | 19:16 |
| micahg | ppetraki: of course, but we need some type of trail to evaluate your work :) | 19:16 |
| hallyn | jinkeys, big apologies if i did that | 19:16 |
| ppetraki | I'm essentially the defaco expert on SAN and low level kernel storage | 19:16 |
| ppetraki | micahg, I have character witnesses :) | 19:17 |
| micahg | ppetraki: have you ever merged the package from Debian? | 19:17 |
| ppetraki | micahg, no | 19:17 |
| hallyn | ppetraki: i think a PPU for multiptah-tools would be a nobrainer for you. | 19:17 |
| hallyn | maybe when r opens you do the sponsored merge , and then apply for PPU? | 19:17 |
| ppetraki | micahg, we actually moved away from even trying to stay synced with them as it was so far out of date that it just did more harm than good, thats why we migrated from 0.4.8 to 0.4.9 | 19:18 |
| micahg | hallyn: ppetraki: well, if you two can construct a paper trail, the next meeting with available slots for applications is at UDS | 19:18 |
| ppetraki | micahg, I can take that action | 19:18 |
| micahg | ppetraki: Debian is on 0.4.9 now as well | 19:19 |
| hallyn | ppetraki: if there are specific commits you need to get sponsored in the meantime, it's good to discuss them here and get some varied sponsors so they can also +1 you at the PPU discussion | 19:19 |
| micahg | hallyn: +1 :) | 19:19 |
| ppetraki | micahg, iirc at the time we leap forward they were still on 0.4.8 | 19:20 |
| ppetraki | micahg, I agree though, we could do better in working together for sure | 19:20 |
| micahg | ppetraki: it happens | 19:21 |
| micahg | ppetraki: well, from the community side of things, we prefer work to be done in Debian as that means less duplicated efforts which allows all parties involved to accomplish more | 19:22 |
| ppetraki | micahg, agreed | 19:22 |
| tjaalton | hallyn: i synced it, still on the queue i think | 19:27 |
| hallyn | tjaalton: ok, thanks. | 19:27 |
| micahg | hallyn: zul: 0.10.0-1fakesync1ubuntu1 would've been fine as 0.10.0-1ubuntu1 :) | 19:30 |
| stgraber | micahg: oh indeed, well too late, I accepted it already :) | 19:31 |
| hallyn | micahg: oh, i see. that makes sense, since it's no longer a sync | 19:31 |
| hallyn | thanks | 19:31 |
| * hallyn feels silly | 19:31 | |
| stgraber | hallyn: that's fine, the changelog entry will disappear with the next sync anyway ;) | 19:32 |
| hallyn | stgraber: so if there is another one, should i call it 0.10.0-1ubuntu2? or ubuntu1? | 19:33 |
| stgraber | good question ;) I think you should go with ubuntu2 to make it clearer that it's the second ubuntu change | 19:34 |
| stgraber | technically ubuntu1 would be fine (as it's higher than the current version) but it'd look confusing | 19:34 |
| hallyn | (would have been my guess :) thanks | 19:35 |

| Xgates | hi guys | 22:59 |
| Xgates | Besides Ubuntu I run some other distros that I compile apps from source and I noticed that in Ubuntu it has libreoffice broken up into packages, like; libreoffice-writer, libreoffice-calc... and I wanted to find out if anyone knows how this was done, like it seems you can just compile this with only the writer if that's all you want? | 23:01 |
| xnox | Xgates: we compile once with everything enabled, and just split the installed tree into bits. | 23:02 |
| xnox | Xgates: you can't actually compile debian package with "just writer" enabled. Plus there is little point, as most of the libreoffice core bits are common across major components. | 23:02 |
| Xgates | ok, so if someone only installed libreoffice-writer on Ubuntu do you know what other pkgs are going to get pulled in with it? | 23:02 |
| xnox | Xgates: yes. see the debian/control file in the source package. | 23:03 |
| xnox | Xgates: a single source package (first paragraph) can build one or more binary packages (all other paragraphs) | 23:03 |
| sarnold | Xgates: apt-cache show libreoffice-writer will show you a "Depends: " line that has packages that will also be installed (those packages may also pull in dependencies..) | 23:04 |
| Xgates | yep deps on deps on deps hehe | 23:04 |
| Xgates | I wish they'd make it so you can build only what you wanted and not the whole thing... | 23:05 |
| xnox | Xgates: libreoffice is special. on buildd's it takes 4.5 hours to build =( | 23:06 |
| xnox | Xgates: and by building just -writer, you will end up building most of libreoffice anyway | 23:07 |
| xnox | Xgates: on armhf - 21 hours. | 23:07 |
| Xgates | only took me 2 hours to build it | 23:07 |
| sarnold | Xgates: do you also build all the translations? :) | 23:08 |
| xnox | Xgates: depends how much of it you build, and whether you do languages stripping for language packs, compressions and debug symbols packages.... like launchpad does | 23:09 |
| Xgates | I don't think you can just build only certain parts like just writer | 23:09 |
| Xgates | I built the languages as well all only 2 hours | 23:09 |
| sarnold | Xgates: nice build box :) | 23:09 |
| xnox | well somone build libreoffice in 40minutes all in 32 GB RAM and 16 cores. | 23:10 |
| infinity | I need a new laptop. My 16G of RAM isn't cool anymore. | 23:10 |
| sarnold | infinity: ooh, what make/model? :) | 23:10 |
| Xgates | I just built it on a Sony Vaio lap i3 core 4gb ram is all nothing fancy | 23:11 |
| infinity | sarnold: Just an old T420s. | 23:11 |
| sarnold | xnox: do the buildds build the tests as well? | 23:11 |
| xnox | sarnold: check for yourself. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:3.6.1~rc2-1ubuntu5 | 23:12 |
| * penguin42 hopes the libreoffice guys efforts to remove cruft from the LO code base will keep removing stuff | 23:12 | |
| sarnold | hehe, "add $1060..." | 23:12 |
| xnox | sarnold: click on the arch under the build section | 23:12 |
| sarnold | xnox: ooh, thanks :) | 23:12 |
| Xgates | what an idiot this guy is in the Lbo-dev channel; | 23:12 |
| infinity | sarnold: No one buys RAM from Lenovo, that's madness. :P | 23:12 |
| Xgates | <moggi> Xgates: if you plan to help implementing it we may give you some code pointers, otherwise you're in the wrong channel | 23:12 |
| Xgates | oh gee may give me some pointers LOL | 23:12 |
| infinity | sarnold: You spec the system with as little RAM as possible, and then go to the local computer parts store. :P | 23:13 |
| sarnold | infinity: that's been my approach in the past, but of course now they're taking to the solder gun for ram :/ | 23:14 |
| xnox | what do you do when people email you for support, simply because you commented on a bug report | 23:14 |
| xnox | ???? | 23:14 |
| infinity | sarnold: If by "they", you mean "Apple", that's one of the many reasons I don't buy their stuff. | 23:14 |
| sarnold | xnox: you can aim users at http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community | 23:15 |
| infinity | sarnold: I've not noticed Thinkpads suffering this problem. | 23:15 |
| sarnold | infinity: I think the new lenovo x1 has soldered memory :( | 23:15 |
| infinity | Oh, the X1 is junk anyway. | 23:15 |
| sarnold | oh :) | 23:15 |
| infinity | The T420s was lighter, thinner, faster, and cheaper. | 23:15 |
| infinity | The X1 really didn't live up to the "X" series name. :P | 23:16 |
| sarnold | infinity: thanks :) (I'm in the market for a laptop in the next week or so, good advice.) | 23:16 |
| tumbleweed | barry: I was vaguely intending to look at it this weekend. But basically, running update-manager in the en_ZA.UTF-8 locale should fail fairly before it does any upgrading | 23:16 |
| barry | tumbleweed: i only got so far as installing a precise vm and i *think* switching it over to en_ZA. post anything you find out to bug issue and i can pick it up again on monday. if you don't solve it of course :) | 23:17 |
| tumbleweed | barry: because the locale was modified in precise to use a non-breaking space as a thousands separator, and we are treating it as ascii | 23:17 |
| infinity | sarnold: Generally, if you feel the pricepoints are reasonable, you should just still with the X200 series and T400 series, IMO. | 23:17 |
| xnox | tumbleweed: use proper english. -> wontfix. | 23:17 |
| * xnox hides =) | 23:17 | |
| tumbleweed | xnox: we use proper english. Not that en_US nonsense | 23:18 |
| * xnox meh | 23:18 | |
| infinity | sarnold: Some of the cheaper Thinkpads are decent machines, but the X2xx and T4xx tend to never disappoint, and it then just comes down to size/screen/battery tradeoffs between the two. | 23:18 |
| barry | tumbleweed, xnox what colour is your authorisation? | 23:18 |
| tumbleweed | :) | 23:18 |
| sarnold | infinity: thanks! I'd been looking only in the T* range, but felt way out of my league; last time around (eight years ago?) it felt simpler than this. :) | 23:19 |
| tumbleweed | barry: it's pretty much solved - need to write a patch for python-apt and the release upgrader | 23:19 |
| barry | tumbleweed: cool | 23:34 |
