[03:01] <micahg> ScottK: I wouldn't mind a session on backports in general, but I don't think we need one specifically for pre-release backports
[03:02] <ScottK> OK.  Let's do that.
[04:05] <micahg> debfx: any chance of virtualbox 4.2 in Debian (so I can backport it to quantal)?
[07:07] <MCR1> Hi :) I am missing the emerald (original Compiz/Beryl window decorator) package in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10, although Emerald works like it did in all Ubuntu versions before. Who can help me make it available as package in Ubuntu again ?
[08:46] <debfx> micahg: virtualbox 4.2 is not DFSG-free so I'm not sure if I'll continue packaging it
[12:08] <shloch> my first time here :)
[13:56] <cjwatson> Laney: ghc-testsuite fails in the test rebuild because ghc is too new; does that need an upstream update or just a version tweak?
[13:56] <Laney> oh gosh, I forgot about that package
[13:58] <Laney> I imagine it needs a new upstream update for 7.4.2
[13:59] <jtaylor> who rejected wakeup?
[14:00] <jtaylor> I guess the changelog was not clear enough?
[14:00] <Laney> stgraber did, but he should have mailed or pinged you
[14:00] <jtaylor> not yet
[14:00] <jtaylor> can I look up now who rejects things?
[14:00] <Laney> no :(
[14:01] <Laney> cjwatson: testing the new upstream
[14:02] <stgraber> Laney: the problem is that we can't see who sponsored an upload so I didn't know it was jtaylor to start with :)
[14:02] <Laney> oh, he wasn't the uploader?
[14:02] <stgraber> no
[14:02] <jtaylor> I uploaded but the changelog was from someone else
[14:03] <Laney> mmm
[14:03] <stgraber> well jtaylor was the uploader but the changelog entry was for David Glass
[14:03] <jtaylor> I should have been in the changed-by
[14:03] <Laney> I'd mail the Changed-By
[14:03] <stgraber> jtaylor: anyway, it's a feature addition without a matching FFe
[14:04] <jtaylor> hm Iguessed that
[14:04] <jtaylor> its not really a new feature
[14:04] <jtaylor> its a bugfix fixing a feature
[14:04] <jtaylor> does that count as a new feature?
[14:04] <stgraber> well "re-introduce" sounds to me like "turning on a feature that wasn't there before FF"
[14:05] <jtaylor> reintroduce because the files where removed a few days earlier by someone else
[14:05] <jtaylor> as they were broken
[14:06] <stgraber> ah, I see, the previous upload on the 30th had an FFe
[14:06] <jtaylor> I can ask the developer to file for an ffe if you wish
[14:07] <jtaylor> but its more a release regression fix than a new feature
[14:07] <stgraber> right, so that's reasonable. Can you re-upload referring the previous FFe bug number (1040213)?
[14:08] <jtaylor> k
[14:29] <micahg> debfx: oracle made it proprietary again?!
[14:33] <cjwatson> jtaylor: Wasn't it turned off because python-evolution no longer exists?
[14:34] <jtaylor> yes according to the author python-evolution is not needed anymore
[14:35] <cjwatson> Oh, I see that from the bug now, right
[15:03] <debfx> micahg: no, but the BIOS is only compilable with Open Watcom which has a somewhat insane license
[17:59] <micahg> not bad, only ~350 total universe fails in the rebuild for x86
[18:00] <micahg> and a third are already fixed
[20:20] <cjwatson> micahg: Yeah, it's looking OK.  Of course we've probably been attacking the easy ones.
