[00:30] <cjwatson> slangasek: I can't think of one.  Check the kernel source control file before you start changing overrides, though; if it says metapackages there, then we need to get that changed since those often leak into the archive for one reason or another; and if that's the case there might also be a hint in the associated changelog
[00:31] <cjwatson> It may have been a misunderstanding of semantics ...
[00:31] <slangasek> cjwatson: yeah, checked the changelog of linux-meta and didn't find anything; I mentioned it to ogasawara this morning when I spotted the issue, and am following up with a bug report
[00:31] <cjwatson> I saw a bare statement there of the change, but nothing more useful than that
[00:32] <cjwatson> (search for "metapackage" rather than "metapackages")
[00:32] <slangasek> ah
[00:33] <slangasek> well, first mention is from 2012 and is just about moving the headers + powerpc packages to match the rest
[00:34] <cjwatson> git isn't useful here, as the change goes back to when the relevant files were checked in AFAICS
[00:35] <ScottK> metapackages didn't always mark  not-for-autoremoval did it?
[00:36] <ScottK> I have a vague recollection that it came a bit later, so maybe it didn't matter when it was done.
[00:37] <cjwatson> It's been a while, but my memory is that it was introduced with that specific purpose
[00:37] <ScottK> Could be.
[00:37] <cjwatson> ha, I made the change
[00:37] <cjwatson> bug 114662
[00:38] <cjwatson> rationale then was that metapackages had different Recommends handling, so maybe you're right and *that* was the original purpose
[00:38] <cjwatson> that's clearly no longer relevant
[00:42] <slangasek> hmm :)
[00:43] <slangasek> oh, fwiw we also have some distinctly broken handling of oldlibs packages, which are being treated the same as metapackages and causing random libs to be marked 'manual' :/
[00:44] <slangasek> ok, fixing up some overrides
[01:59] <infinity> slangasek: Oh, did you take over the autoremoval thing from me?
[02:00] <slangasek> infinity: yes, Patty's /boot is full now and needs attending ;)
[02:00] <infinity> *smirk*

[05:00] <NotACellist> I've read two articles that have gotten me psyched for Ubuntu on tablets. Is there a mailing list or developer group I can read about this?
[05:44] <chilicuil> doesn anyone knows if ground control is still in development? https://launchpad.net/groundcontrol ?
[13:27] <vibhav> Any idea why did this happen: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/122007303/buildlog_ubuntu-raring-armel.blackbox_0.70.1-13ubuntu1_CHROOTWAIT.txt.gz
[14:00] <xnox> persia: once the workitems are all in launchpad you should see them on the status.ubuntu.com website....
[17:35] <wmp> hello
[17:36] <wmp> i build my own package with config to nginx, vsftpd and other, and when i try to install this i have error: trying to overwrite '/etc/logrotate.d/nginx', which is also in package nginx-common 1.1.19-1ubuntu0.1
[17:36] <wmp> what i can do with this?
[17:45] <siretart> wmp: I don't think this is the right channel to discuss this. but as a hint, you might find http://debathena.mit.edu/config-packages/ imensly useful.
[17:45] <wmp> siretart: thank
[18:12] <NotACellist> I've read two articles that have gotten me psyched for Ubuntu on tablets. Is there a mailing list or developer group I can read about this?
[18:40] <persia> xnox: Thanks: that was precisely what I sought.
[18:41] <tumbleweed> persia: welcome back to Ubuntu IRC channels
[18:43]  * persia hasn't quite managed the 's' yet, but expects to take care of that this week :)
[18:44] <tumbleweed> :)
[20:26] <mlankhorst> morning
[20:27] <chilicuil> good morning
