| * TheLordOfTime yawns | 00:13 | |
| TheLordOfTime | maxb, did you ever resolve mspencer's question about marking it as affects:preicse ? | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| TheLordOfTime | precise* | 00:14 |
| penguin42 | anyone remind me how you mark a bug as affecting a previous release - i.e. you mark current as fixed released but someone is saying they'd like it fixed in an older one? Is that nominate for series? | 00:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | nominate for the older release, mark it fix released there? | 00:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | nominate for series is how bugs that're filed against a package can be set in multiple releases | 00:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | (such as precise, quantal, and raring) | 00:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | but if you're not a member of a group that can actually approve the nomination of the series, you'll just have to wait a while after you've nominated... | 00:22 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/okular/+bug/1070685 hmm that doesn't look right - I thought you often see it with a separate thing on the left something like okular (Precise) or something similar? | 00:22 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1070685 in okular (Ubuntu) "pdf does not print correctly, and ps generated from pdf shows errors when viewing" [Medium,Fix released] | 00:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | penguin42, did you fail to set this right? | 00:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | :P | 00:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | penguin42, you don't change the bug until AFTER its set that it affects precise. | 00:23 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: Right, but how do I set it that it affects precise - that's my question | 00:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | you hit "Nominate for series" | 00:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | choose "Precise" | 00:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | and wait | 00:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | are you bugcontrol? | 00:24 |
| penguin42 | yes | 00:24 |
| penguin42 | ah - that's got it, thanks | 00:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | this was fixed in quantal? | 00:24 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: Well....it works in Quantal | 00:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | the question was whether the bug affects quantal | 00:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | if not, then it was likely fixed in the interim | 00:24 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: The original reporter is reporting it affects precise, it doesn't affect Quantal - where it was fixed is difficult to know | 00:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | if it doesn't affect quantal, then i'd assume it was fixed somewhere between the precise and quantal versions | 00:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | maybe in the Debian version of the package, if it exists? | 00:25 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: Which as per my comments is difficult, but it's reasonable that the reporter would want a precise fix | 00:26 |
| TheLordOfTime | indeed. | 00:26 |
| TheLordOfTime | i never touch the milestone, though *shrugs* | 00:27 |
| TheLordOfTime | normally i leave that to the more fluent bug gods ;P | 00:27 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: Yeh the milestone was my mistake | 00:27 |
| * penguin42 has undone that | 00:27 | |
| TheLordOfTime | i've commented that we've nominated the bug to be marked as affecting Precise | 00:28 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: The tricky thing is tracking down exactly which package causes his bug, without doing that it wouldn't be possible to SRU it | 00:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | indeed. | 00:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | if the bug's not in okular but some ancillary package, then the bug isnt actually *in* ocular | 00:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | s/ancillary/supporting or dependency/ | 00:28 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: Agreed, but it's the current best bet | 00:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | making the okular bug invalid, and the bug'll need filing against whatever the other package is ;P | 00:29 |
| TheLordOfTime | indeed. | 00:29 |
| TheLordOfTime | i did add a comment that we nominated it for precise, so they should be less naggy ;P | 00:29 |
| TheLordOfTime | YOU EVIL THING, WHY DO YOU NOT COMPILE RIGHT! | 00:29 |
| * TheLordOfTime kicks his php5 fork | 00:29 | |
| TheLordOfTime | php5's inherently evil, but... *shrugs* | 00:30 |
| penguin42 | yeh; the tricky thing now is how the heck to ask the end user to help track down where it broke | 00:30 |
| TheLordOfTime | i'll betcha if it is fixed in the version in quantal there's a bug somewhere on it | 00:30 |
| TheLordOfTime | either on LP, Debian, or upstream | 00:30 |
| TheLordOfTime | and that bug was marked as fixed. or marked as invalid and information was staqted in that bug where it was fixed | 00:30 |
| TheLordOfTime | brb, reboot for linux :) | 00:31 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: I suspect there are so many pdf rendering fixes that it's going to be a bit nasty to find; coupled with it could actually be any bit of pdf/postscriptism down the chain | 00:31 |
| TheLordOfTime | mhm | 00:34 |
| TheLordOfTime | (fast reboots, for the win) | 00:34 |
| TheLordOfTime | *sigh* i'll be glad when this is fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1074239 | 00:36 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1074239 in Launchpad itself "Timeout error when trying to view any user profile page." [Critical,In progress] | 00:36 |
| TheLordOfTime | its a pain to have that there :/ | 00:36 |
| TheLordOfTime | *sigh* penguin42, you know what I hate... | 00:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | i hate packages that depend on a given web server :/ | 00:38 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: Erk, like what? | 00:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | dokuwiki | 00:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | erm, that may just be the system actually | 00:39 |
| * TheLordOfTime dissects the package | 00:39 | |
| TheLordOfTime | oh, you know what... i think its one of its php dependencies | 00:39 |
| TheLordOfTime | or the recommendations... | 00:39 |
| penguin42 | TheLordOfTime: I'm sure there's a reason you like fixing php stuff, I can't imagine why.... | 00:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | its pulling php5-cli and libapache2* stuff as Recommends and Suggests | 00:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | penguin42: actually i despise the package | 00:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | i just try and help confirm things ;P | 00:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | and get things closer to Triaged | 00:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | as for php5, i SRU the severe things that'd also impact nginx ;P | 00:40 |
| penguin42 | nod; I try and stick to things I've got some idea about | 00:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | i have semi-decent knowledge to fix some php5 bugs | 00:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | but its SRUing them that people fial to do :p | 00:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | and i only get involved with ones which impact my setups :P; | 00:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | otherwise, my focus is nginx | 00:41 |
| penguin42 | what's nginx? | 00:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | ubottu's not in here right? | 00:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | <ubottu> nginx (source: nginx): small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.1-2.2 (quantal), package size 7 kB, installed size 86 kB | 00:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | yep | 00:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | its not. | 00:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | its a wbe server in universe. | 00:41 |
| penguin42 | ah ok | 00:41 |
| * TheLordOfTime despises apache | 00:41 | |
| TheLordOfTime | nginx is easier to understand ;P | 00:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | at least to me. | 00:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | less cruft in the way, IMO | 00:42 |
| * penguin42 isn't really a web servery person; I've only done relatively simple stuff with webservers | 00:42 | |
| TheLordOfTime | yeah, apparently some of the nginx people would rather have an Ubuntu-fluent person handle their SRUs | 00:43 |
| * TheLordOfTime ended up being that person :/ | 00:43 | |
| penguin42 | ah, didn't run fast enough :-) | 00:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | :P | 00:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | i mean, its not a problem for me, i know the package pretty well. most bugfixes are handled upstream, so then i just SRU the patch :p | 00:44 |
| TheLordOfTime | its pretty bug-free in Ubuntu right now. either that or nobody's using it. | 00:46 |
| penguin42 | yeh that's not too bad once you're used to the sequence | 00:50 |
| TheLordOfTime | i've done a couple of SRUs, only needed to SRU nginx once, though. | 00:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | although if we look only at that package, i've had fixes for security bugs pushed too by the security team | 00:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | that was a bit ago, that's the first true work on the package i've done outside of a couple of bug reports | 00:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | since then, there hasnt been much of a need for a lot of SRUs | 00:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | being on the server team, though, i end up seeing all the php5 bugs. | 00:58 |
| TheLordOfTime | it gets annoying after a while ;P | 00:58 |
