Laneyyeah reqorts?!10:33
dholbachso10:34
dholbach?10:34
dholbachwhat's the question? :)10:34
Laneyhas that always been it?10:34
Laneydid reports work before?10:34
Laneyit's at least linked from that wiki page10:34
Laneyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess10:34
dholbachin the last few years it's always been there10:34
Laney(and in my browser history as reports)10:34
vibhavdholbach: the topic links to http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/ and not  http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring10:35
LaneyI suspect some redirect stopped working10:35
dholbachok, then maybe it should be fixed there10:35
dholbachI've got to rush off, so I'll leave you guys to it :)10:35
dholbachsee you in a bit10:35
Laneyheh10:35
LaneyI'd rather not fix every link10:35
vibhavCan I do it then?10:36
* Laney asks IS10:36
vibhavI always that it was reports, wierd :|10:37
vibhavwhat does reqorts mean anyway?10:37
LaneyI strongly suspect that there was a redirect10:37
vibhavprobably10:37
Laneychecking10:38
Laneyanyone seen python-keyring (or whatever it is) forcing you to reset your keyring password every time?10:46
LaneyPlease enter password for encrypted keyring:10:46
LaneyPlease set a password for your new keyring:10:46
LaneyPlease confirm the password:10:46
xnoxLaney: did you change your user password?10:48
xnoxin a non-gui way?10:49
Laneyno, I just created the keyring10:49
Laneythere is no GUI, it's inside lxc10:49
xnoxhorum. sorry, no idea.10:49
Laneythat makes two of us10:50

Laneydholbach: Turns out reports.qa.u.c got moved to a new server which didn't have the old /reports/ stuff (reqorts is the old server which used to be reports)11:14
vibhavreposts!11:15
vibhavAnyways, thanks again11:15
cjwatsonAll you folks doing syncs to raring may want to hold off a bit.11:38
cjwatsonDepending on how our upload changes work out, they may end up being rejected.11:38
Laneywhat about manual uploads?11:39
cjwatsonThose should be fine11:40
cjwatson(Not that I'm encouraging people to do manual uploads that should be syncs)11:40
Laneyno, I meant real ones11:40
cjwatsonIf you must do syncs early, then for now I suggest targeting raring-proposed rather than raring.11:40
cjwatsonWorst case for that is a bit of extra work for archive admins.11:40
Laneyhm, UDD seems unhappy11:41
Laneyhttp://package-import.ubuntu.com/status/ "11228 outstanding jobs"11:41
Laneyis this a usual release opening thing?11:42
Laneybzr branch lp:debian/unstable/<anything> fails11:42
cjwatsonLaney: need to ask for it to be re-enabled - trying to figure that out now11:46
Laneycjwatson: great, cheers11:46
mitya57dholbach: online?11:58
LaneyRhonda: could you make packages.u.c list quantal-{updates,backports}?11:58
Laneyalso possibly raring (and maybe it is now interesting to list -proposed for the dev series?)11:58
cjwatsonThat would encourage users to use <dev>-proposed, so I wouldn't recommend that11:59
cjwatsonquantal-{updates,backports} and raring should indeed happen though11:59
dholbachmitya57, yes12:00
Laneyyeah, maybe it would12:00
mitya57dholbach: I won't be happy until developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html is fixed :)12:01
Laney-backports is now extant for the development release, on the other hand12:01
mitya57(now everything returns 403)12:01
Laneyd.u.c works here12:01
Laneypackaging guide's css is busted though12:02
geserLaney: if you find a work-around for the password changing (from python-keyring) let me know plz. I see it in my dev chroot too and it's annoying :(12:02
mitya57that's because it's now symlinked to /usr/share/ubuntu-packaging-guide/12:02
Laneygeser: I've been hacking scripts to set credentials_file12:02
Laneyperhaps we should, like, debug it12:03
dholbachmitya57, I know - it's on my list - today is a crazy day12:03
dholbachmitya57, I'll take care of it in a bit12:03
mitya57dholbach: I understand...12:04
dholbachok12:04
dholbachwill let you know when it's fixed12:04
mitya57dholbach: not needed12:04
=== almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan
geserLaney: I was simply using requestsync to trigger it12:18
Laneygeser: yes, it's trivial to trigger12:19
Laneyi'm saying we should find out why it happens and file a bug12:19
RhondaLaney: Ah, of course.12:47
RhondaLaney: "are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet?"12:48
Rhondanatty is discontinued now, right?12:54
mitya57Rhonda: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anypackage says it's still supported13:04
mitya57The close date is something like Oct 2813:05
RhondaI won't let it in, commit the change for quantal release now and remove it in a week's time from the packages site.13:08
RhondaThat doesn't make much sense to me. :)13:08
al-maisanis there a way of setting the JAVA_HOME env. variable in arch-independent fashion so that the JVM is found irrespective of 32/64 bit installation?13:09
al-maisanRight now I use JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64" but I guess that won't work on a 32-bit system, right?13:10
Rhondahahahaha, MOTD on jubany.c.c  :D13:12
Rhonda"do not reboot" in banner lettering. :)13:12
Rhondahmmmm13:12
al-maisanhmm .. /usr/lib/jvm/default-java is arch-independent and what I was looking for13:24
RhondaLaney, cjwatson: Should be done, after the next cron job/mirror push.13:28

RhondaLaney: Hmm, well, I'm looking after it these days, but I wouldn't call it maintaining.  I'm uncertain.  Not until I changed a bit more of the code. :)14:28
RhondaBut, the "to report a problem" I will change right ahead, yes.14:28

mitya57dholbach: will now try the sphinx patch15:32
mitya57(though it's a bit strange that the pull request has been deleted)15:32
mitya57wow, there's a new pull request that attempts to fix japanese LaTeX problems!15:33
dholbachmitya57, yeah, I saw it - we should maybe ping upstream :)15:41
dholbachbarry knows upstream IIRC15:41
barrydholbach, mitya57 sphinx upstream?15:42
dholbachyes15:42
dholbachthey have a bunch of pull requests which didn't get reviewed :)15:42
barrydholbach: i think georg has just been swamped lately, but i think i've seen some recent activity from him on sphinx15:43
dholbachparticularly the i18n stuff would be good to get in15:43
mitya57I get this trying to build sphinx with that patch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1297780/15:46
mitya57oops, the same happens without the patch :(15:50
mitya57ah, that's because I'm using new docutils I built for raring...15:51
mitya57https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/issue/998/docutils-010-will-break-sphinx-manpage15:51
mitya57dholbach: when I revert last three translation commits and do "make html-es", that succeeds16:14
mitya57does that mean that the patch works?16:15
dholbacherr16:15
mitya57I thought there was some workaround in the translations...16:15
dholbachI'm not quite sure - are you trying this with the sphinx upstream patch now?16:16
mitya57dholbach: yes16:18
dholbachand with the the last 3 changes applied it doesn't work?16:18
dholbachis the crash report the same as in the bug?16:19
mitya57with the last 3 changes applied it should always work (even without the patch), shouldn't it?16:20
dholbachno, it crashes for me16:20
mitya57will try now16:21
dholbachit seems like the translated href names were a red herring, so not the actual problem :/16:21
mitya57succeeds16:21
dholbachNICE16:21
mitya57As the package now lives in Debian, we'll need jwilk to accept this patch16:22
dholbachdo you think you can upload the source package into your PPA maybe?16:22
dholbachsphinx I mean16:22
dholbachthen I'll have a look at it, play around with it some more and stick it into our team ppa for the time being (until we can fix it in ubuntu itself)16:22
mitya57dholbach: but I can, yes16:23
dholbachmitya57, thanks so much for your work on this16:23
mitya57no, we can't fix it in ubuntu itself: ^^16:23
dholbachin an SRU then16:23
mitya57SRU is fine, yes16:25
dholbachperfect16:25
bobweaverHello there I am trying to make a meta package that installs like a top 20 list of things that I do after installing Ubuntu. but I would like to use debconf to make this happen. like for the meta package "Ubuntu restricted extras"  I would like to have a debconf that says "Ubuntu restricted extras installs X,Y&Z . Would you like to install this package. " thus giving the end-user the option to select Yes or No . but I can not figure out16:42
bobweaver how to implant that in debconf. This is how I think that I will do it. set up stanzas for debconf and have then answer store then call them. maybe I should make "debian/ubuntu-restricted-extras.install" and if yes in debconf install. How would you do it?  or have any tips ?16:42
bobweaver^^ in debian policy manner that is ^^16:43
cjwatsonYou can't do that in debconf, because apt/dpkg aren't re-entrant - a package can't conditionally install another package in its maintainer scripts.16:44
micahgbobweaver: I think sessioninstaller is closer to what you're looking for16:45
cjwatsonYou would have to write a script that does the installation, outside of the context of postinst scripts etc.16:45
bobweavercjwatson,  micahg  thanks a ton !  cjwatson  could script be to launch other app that was installed 1st. er... so like say I am writing app (qml) that is tutorial for new users (like about unity press super for this have super button symbol show up on screen.) could I use something like that but would it have to be in nm PreDepends sorry. I am just trying to make a program (qml) that takes and gives tour of Ubuntu desktop then on tour g16:49
bobweaverives option to install packages.16:49
micahgbobweaver: sessioninstaller is what you're looking for16:50
bobweaverOh cool this is dbus reader thanks again micahg16:51
cjwatsonBut just to re-explain my comments: while your package's postinst script is running, you can't install any other packages.16:52
cjwatsonIt doesn't matter whether you hide that in some other script.16:53
bobweaverbecause dpkg is already busy correct ?16:53
cjwatsonIt would have to be something the user ran separately (and, yes, probably involving sessioninstaller or something like it).16:53
cjwatsonCorrect.16:53
cjwatsonAnd you don't want to use Pre-Depends.16:53
cjwatsonIf your program runs outside the context of installing the package containing it, then dpkg won't be busy and you can install stuff.16:54
bobweaverI see cjwatson  I am going to read more into sessioninstaller but I think i am going to have to just write something into the app like declarative onfirsttimelaunch.cpp or something like that. Thanks again everybody :)16:58

jtaylor(obscure science package)18:29
micahgjtaylor: none of the rdeps are marked as tested18:32
jtaylormicahg: its impossible to test so much18:32
jtaylorI was thinking that the lack of bugs might be enough :)18:33
tumbleweedyou can at least test a reasonable number of them18:33
tumbleweedpreferably the high-popcon ones18:34
tumbleweed(but I am not a backporter) :P18:34
jtaylorI would expect high popcon ones to already have noticed something18:34
micahgdifferent versions of the rdeps could also affect things18:35
jtaylorthat should be pretty unlikely18:38
jtaylorthe library hasn't really changed that much, just got support for new cpu instructions under the hood18:39
jtaylorbut I'm fine with waiting a little longer18:39
jtaylorprobably avx enabled cpu's are still to rare18:39

jtaylorstupid work always shedules my trips to be at the same time as uds or debconf ...18:43
jtaylorand then the trip gets canceled to late for me to go ._.18:43
tumbleweedmicahg: that was the point of seeded-in-ubuntu18:45
micahgtumbleweed: that just tells you if it's on an image, not which binaries/sources are reverse dependencies on an image18:46

* tumbleweed probably shouldn't admit that, though18:57
jtaylor:)18:57
tumbleweedthere's useful testing to be done without an AVX CPU, surely18:58
jtaylorfftw has an extensive testsuite and really only does one thing18:58
