Laneygreetings10:04
leniosdoes anybody know where to find why a package has been removed for ubuntu repositories? i just found luma package has been removed from quantal repositories and i'm trying to find why10:49
Laneylenios: go to http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/<yourpackagename>/+publishinghistory and expand the "Deleted" entry10:50
leniosthank you for the info10:53
leniosthere's only a Deleted on 2012-06-20 by Colin Watson Deleted on 2012-06-20 by Colin Watson linking to https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands/+bug/676953 which doesn't look related...10:54
ubottuLaunchpad bug 676953 in widelands "Revise the map pool" [Wishlist,Fix released]10:54
leniosdoes cjwatson have a clue on this?10:55
Laneyit says Debian bug #whatever10:56
Laneyso you should go to http://bugs.debian.org/<that number>10:56
lenioswhy is it linking to a launchpad bug?10:56
maxbErroneous automatic linkification of "bug NNNNNN" I would guess10:56
leniosyes10:57
Laneyindeed10:57
lenioshttp://bugs.debian.org/676953 is indeed related10:58
ubottuDebian bug 676953 in ftp.debian.org "RM: luma -- RoQA; qt3" [Normal,Open]10:58
leniosthanks for the help :)11:00
cjwatsonany time you see "(From Debian)" at the start of a removal comment, that indicates semi-automatic propagation of a removal from Debian11:00
cjwatsonyou shouldn't assume I put any thought into it beyond checking that it didn't have any reverse-dependencies in Ubuntu11:01
leniosyes, but there's an erroneous bug link11:01
cjwatsoncan't help that11:01
leniossorry about that11:01
leniosi should have thought longer11:02
cjwatson(well, in principle I could help that, by submitting a branch to LP to change the linkification of "Debian bug ..." - but I'm unlikely to get round to that)11:03

leniosoops!11:06

ricotzdebfx, hi :)13:03
ricotzdebfx, i am hoping you will find some time to push some updates for virtualbox13:04
debfxricotz: my motivation to work on virtualbox has kind of dropped since version 4.2 is not DFSG-free anymore13:25
debfxI have prepared some fixes for quantal but not sure if I'll maintain it beyond that13:25
ricotzdebfx, oh :\, havent seen that, updating to 4.1.22 is the most you will do then?13:29
debfxricotz: virtualbox constantly needs updates for new kernel and XServer versions so keeping an old version in the archive is not an option13:31
ricotzdebfx, right, backporting the 3.7 and 1.13 bits from 4.2 are surely a pita then?13:31
debfxI would think so and it will become more difficult13:34
ricotzi see, this doesnt sound promising then13:37
xnoxtumbleweed: broder has a librarian proxy? =)13:48
xnoxtumbleweed: can it be like hosted on ubuntuwire?13:48
tumbleweedI think it's *very* slow13:49
tumbleweedyou have to walk a lot of SSPH records to generate a Packages file13:50
tumbleweedand then you can't sign it...13:50
tumbleweedbut, if you were to archive the packages files, and SPPH records, you could make something pretty fast13:50
cjwatsonyeah, I'd definitely recommend against trying to autogenerate Packages13:52
tumbleweed(context: historical Packages - a snapshot.ubuntu.com...)13:53
xnoxtumbleweed: yeah the plan is to keep packages/dists as is (e.g. rsnapshot) bug fake pool/ by redirecting to the librarian.13:54
xnoxs/bug/but/13:54
tumbleweedsounds workable13:54
xnoxtumbleweed: does ubuntuwire have space fore rsnapshot dists/ ?13:55
tumbleweedxnox: #ubuntuwire. How much space are we talking about?13:55
xnoxtumbleweed: good point. I have a workitem to estimate space needs =)13:56
alo21how do I know if I should make a sync or a merge?18:13
Laneyyou have to analyse the changes Ubuntu made in the previous version and figure out whether they are still needed18:17
alo21Laney: for example?18:18
Laneyhmm?18:18
achiangis it acceptable to file sync requests yet? (iow, is the archive open)18:18
jtayloralo21: for example openttd18:18
jtaylor(which I'm just looking at)18:19
Laneyachiang: yeah18:19
achiangLaney: thanks18:19
jtayloralo21: it has an ubuntu diff to handle fontconfig2.1018:19
jtaylordebian does not need it yet but the issue was forwarded18:19
jtaylornow a new version is in experimental which fixes the issue18:20
jtaylorso the diff can be dropped -> sync18:20
alo21jtaylor: to know if the new version (in debian) fixes the bug, I should look the changelog. Right?18:21
jtayloralo21: thats the first place to look18:21
jtaylorbut you must make sure it is really fixed properly18:22
jtaylorfor that you check the change and the ubuntu diff18:22
jtaylorand test it18:22
alo21jtaylor: i am looking for a package (https://merges.ubuntu.com/universe.html) here18:23
jtaylorwhy do changes generated from syncpackage not include the full diff to debian (like when you merge with -v<last-ubu-version>?18:27
alo21jtaylor: for example the package picard-tools. where is the debdiff?18:33
jtayloralo21: you download the packages and use debdiff18:35
jtayloror use https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+localpackagediffs18:35
jtaylorbut its normally much slower18:36
jtayloryou can also quickly get the ubuntu diff from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/picard-tools/+changelog18:36
alo21jtaylor: ok18:36
alo21jtaylor: here are two picard-tools' changelog (debian: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/picard-tools/current/changelog and LP: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/picard-tools/+changelog)18:44
alo21I think that in this case I should make a sync request18:44
alo211) the bugs were fixed in debian too 2) the ubuntu's package is old18:45
alo21am I right?18:45
jtayloryes looks syncable18:46
jtaylorbut testbuild it first18:46
alo21jtaylor: why? It comes directly from debian, without any chages18:46
jtayloryou still need to test it18:47
jtaylorjust because it builds in debian does not mean it does in ubuntu18:47
jtaylorthere are plenty of differences18:47
jtaylorespecially with java18:47
jtaylordebian uses java6 as default raring has java718:47
alo21if the buid fails, I should change some files. Where do I have to upload it?18:48
jtayloryou put the changes in a bug or a bzr branch and ask for sponsorship18:49
alo21ok. thanks18:49
ScottKjtaylor: You should be aware that +changelog on LP is not a full changelog.  Only the changelog bits that LP saw in a changes file (so given the lack of -v for syncs a lot is often missing)19:03
jtayloryes I know, I forgot to mention that19:04
jtaylorits still one of the fastest ways to get the debdiff of an ubuntu only change which usually have no skipped versions19:04
jtayloryou ahve to be more careful with merges19:05
ScottKThere is also http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/p/picard-tools/picard-tools_1.46-1ubuntu1/changelog19:06
ScottKThat leads to the actual package changelog.19:06
