=== attente is now known as attente_zzz
james_wzyga, I don't think it does. I'm not sure if it would be hard to add if there's a good way to detect what should be  built for python 3 vs 2. It also depends on the level of support that debhelper has for py300:15
* doko never wanted to learn that much about m68k and powerpc ...00:27
xnox=))) lol what did doko just do?00:28
dokogcc multiarch upstream patches00:29
xnoxjames_w: debhelper has no support for py3, but it's a mere 6 or so monkey patch lines across many packages.00:29
xnoxjames_w: if there is ported code, I offer services of fast python3 packaging into ubuntu & debian archives =)00:30
james_wxnox, in debian/rules?00:30
xnoxjames_w: yeap.00:30
james_wmight be feasible to do in pkgme then00:30
james_wxnox, also, go to bed :-)00:31
xnoxjames_w: oh for pkgme..... *sigh* we should do better than monkey patching.00:31
xnoxjames_w: currently it looks like so: http://wiki.debian.org/Python/LibraryStyleGuide00:31
james_waha, great info, thanks00:31
xnoxjames_w: but you can get away with less.00:32
xnoxjames_w: by supporting only python2.7 & python3 and not compiling / testing under non-default python versions.00:33
xnoxjames_w: then it can be compressed further down.00:33
* xnox has no clue what pkgme does or looks like though =)00:33
james_whmm, probably quite tricky for pkgme to detect, but good to know00:33
james_wit's magic :-)00:34
xnoxjames_w: well, pure python vs non-pure python =)00:34
james_wah, yeah00:34
xnoxjames_w: here is smaller case: http://wiki.debian.org/Python/AppStyleGuide00:34
xnoxideally debhelper python3 support should be written.....00:35

dokoslangasek, do you think we would need unversioned Multi-Arch same libgcc-dev, libstdc++-dev, libobjc-dev, libgfortran-dev packages?01:24
=== cpg is now known as cpg|away
dokocjwatson, today I accepted new binary packages for gcc-4.7, zlib, ncurses and readline6, which did all land in main without any further interaction. is this intended?01:27
dokoslangasek, do you think we would need unversioned Multi-Arch same libgcc-dev, libstdc++-dev, libobjc-dev, libgfortran-dev packages?01:27
cjwatsondoko: Yes01:29
cjwatsondoko: Binaries now default to the component of the source01:29
cjwatsondoko: This was a long-standing irritation that we'd been begging to get fixed for ages01:29
dokonot sure if I like this01:30
cjwatsondoko: So you now get the other side of it :-)  I'm pretty certain this is a relatively rare case and in any case component-mismatches handles it01:30
cjwatsondoko: If you wanted them in universe you could always pay more attention when NEWing ;-)01:30
cjwatsondoko: It was really common for people to accidentally NEW library ABI changes of sources in main into universe, causing uninstallability01:31
dokocjwatson, well, the thing is that the mir team doesn't get any notice about that01:31
cjwatsondoko: The MIR team is not supposed to get notice of *binary-only* changes01:31
dokono, that's wrong01:31
cjwatsonBinaries of sources in universe still default to universe01:31
dokoif something is split out because we don't want to support it, it should default to universe01:32
cjwatsonNevertheless, there is no MIR process for this01:32
cjwatsonSorry, but you just need to catch this manually01:32
dokosorry, impossible01:32
cjwatsonCertainly not01:32
cjwatsonSomebody could write a script with a blacklist, for instance01:32
doko"somebody"01:33
cjwatsonThe MIR team has never effectively communicated the list of binaries they didn't want in main to the archive team01:33
cjwatsonSo if binaries that you didn't want stayed out of main, it was by purest luck01:33
dokowell, I think we should have such a list01:33
cjwatsonPatches to component-mismatches would be a reasonable way to implement such a blacklilst01:33
cjwatsonAnd I think it would be a good idea01:33
cjwatsonBut I really think this Launchpad change is a very substantial net positive01:34
jelmerTheMuso: no, none of the three associated bugs have a comment about it01:34
cjwatsonThe number of binaries from sources in main that we don't want in main is a tiny fraction of the total01:34
micahg+1, all the new firefox/thunderbird langpacks won't need component massaging01:34
cjwatsonIt pretty much has to be since hardly anyone knows what it is01:34
cjwatsonlangpacks, new libraries, kernel packages in SRUs (the kernel team had gone so far as to create a watchdog bot to make sure that overrides were right!), ...01:35
* xnox now if the watchdog bot is negated, doko will get the underdog bot he wants =))))01:37
dokogo play volley ball ...01:38
cjwatsondoko: It'd be worth at least filing a bug on ubuntu-archive-tools about this; Ursinha is looking for tools work to do :-)01:39
dokook, will do tomorrow01:39
dokotoday, later01:40
slangasekdoko: I don't know the answer to whether we would need such unversioned -dev packages to be M-A: same; it would depend on what is going to depend on them (or build-depend on them)01:50
dokowell, are packages with a b-d on gfortran currently cross-built?01:51
slangasekcurrently, no01:51
dokobut it works for g++, because it's assumed to be available01:52

RobOakesGood morning. Does anyone know where I might find an example of how to create a provider plugin for Ubuntu Online Accounts?03:05
RobOakesI've been working on a desktop app that integrates with ownCloud, and would love to be able to use Online Accounts for managing credentials/integrating with other apps.03:06
RobOakesI found the developer API documentation, but not a working example which I could modify to fit my own needs.03:07
jbichaRobOakes: Empathy, Gwibber, and Shotwell all use UOA in Ubuntu03:09
RobOakesOkay. I suppose I need direction to two resources.03:11
RobOakesFirst, the application I'm developing integrates pretty tightly with ownCloud, which does not yet have a plugin for Ubuntu Online Accounts.03:11
RobOakesDo you know if it is possible to write/install custom plugins for Ubuntu online accounts? This seems to imply that you can: http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/ubuntu-12.10/python/AccountPlugin-1.0.html03:12
RobOakesBut the docs are pretty sparse. I'd really like to look at an example to get up and running.03:13

dokocjwatson, infinity: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gccgo-4.7/4.7.2-0ubuntu210:53
dokodo you understand the message? builds fine locally on p. the only thing odd is an empty Architecture field for the libx32go* packages (which are not built)10:54
infinitydoko: The error message seems reasonably clear.10:56
xnoxdoko: but the Architecture field is mandatory on the binary package.10:57
dokoinfinity, dude, I wouldn't ask if it was clear to me10:58
infinitydoko: It's the pkg-create-dbgsym version of dh_strip that's complaining, BTW, which is why you're not reproducing, I suspect.10:58
dokoahh10:58
dokopitti, trying to be holier than the pope ...10:58
infinityHeh.10:58
infinityBut yeah, the empty Arch line is the problem, reading the code.10:59
xnoxdoko: export NO_PKG_MANGLE=111:00
infinityxnox: Eww, no.11:00
xnoxdoko: in e2fsprogs: # no chance that pkg-create-dbgsym can cope with this package's manual construction of -dbg11:00
xnoxdoko: if you construct the dbg packages yourself, this should be fine.11:00
dokoI think that would be possible, because there are -dbg packages built anyway11:01
infinityxnox: NO_PKG_MANGLE turns off more than just ddeb creation. :/11:01
xnoxinfinity: I know, but there is no variable just to turn off ddebs =`(11:01
dokoand I don't care if gccgo itself has debug information11:02
xnoxinfinity: would `NO_PGK_MANGLE=1 dh_strip` work?11:02
pittiah, that's because of my super-advanced shell parsing of debian/control :(11:02
infinityxnox: Yes, that would work.11:02
pittixnox: yes11:03
xnoxpitti: and python-debian/apt was not around back then ? =/ I can feel your pain.11:03
pittixnox: it's more an issue of avoiding too many/circular dependencies11:03
xnoxyeah....11:03
pittithat said, a missing Arch: line sounds relatively easy to fix11:03
pittiwe had packages with a duplicate Arch: line, which are really broken11:03
infinitypitti: Empty, in doko's case, which seems broken anyway.11:04
infinity(Missing is also broken)11:04
infinityBut yes, congrats on writing a tool that's more pedantic than dpkg. ;)11:04
xnoxinfinity: I wonder if there is a message encoded in that field in whitespace: tab-tab-space-tab...... =))))11:04
infinitydoko: I'd either remove the libx32 stanzas from control completely, or give them a bogus arch (the former seems saner).11:06

awpeter_hey guys, i had a real problem installing nvidia drivers now because i couldn't disable nouveau no matter what i tried (purge remove package, blacklist in modprobe) the finally i disabled nouveau on the kernel line in grub with "nouveau.blacklist=yes", so my suggestion is you complement the normal blacklisting with disabling nouvau from grub so other people can avoid this problem11:53
awpeter_also i mean: disable it when someone is installing an nvidia driver, and remove it again when you remove the nvidia driver, should be easy to implement and would solve a problem imo11:54
apwawpeter_, i am unsure how blacklist can not work in this scenario, tseliot did you see this in your testing11:56
awpeter_i tried really11:56
awpeter_even the nvidia installer11:56
ogra-cb_apw, it could cause issues if regenerating the initrd failed11:56
awpeter_added his own file to modprobe11:56
ogra-cb_or didnt happen at all11:57
tseliotawpeter_: disabling it in the initramfs is usually enough11:57
apwthose drivers shouldn't be in the initrd for the basic case11:57
ogra-cb_apw, plymouth doesnt use them ?11:57
apwplymouth isn't in the initrd by default11:57
tseliotawpeter_: mixing the nvidia installer with the ubuntu packages will break your system though11:58
ogra-cb_no, but to get the right framebuffer device the right module needs to be loaded11:58
brendandjeez, now the image isn't even booting. just the flashing cursor - same image and everything11:58
apwogra-cb_, and that occurs in the real root11:58
* ogra-cb_ thought we do that in initrd11:58
awpeter_tseliot i had the ubuntu packages removed before i installed nvidia11:59

apwonly if they have like encrypted root where we need to interact with them before root is available11:59
diwiczequence, ok, will do in a little while11:59
apwawpeter_, so this is installing a random nvidia download ?11:59
ogra-cb_well, ir if some initrd hook sets FRAMEBUFFER_true11:59
ogra-cb_*or12:00
ogra-cb_FRAMEBUFFER=true12:00
apwindeed, still not the default case12:00
awpeter_apw well not a random, the newest nvidia driver avaiable from nvidia's site12:00
awpeter_310.19 i think12:00
awpeter_was released 2 days ago or so12:00
apwawpeter_, it is not clear how we are meant to have control over that ?12:00
zequencediwic: No hurry. PM me if you have any suggestions, etc.12:00
awpeter_apw i tried to install via jockey and it failed too12:01
awpeter_so i suppose jockey had the same problem, that nouveau didn't unload12:01
awpeter_i mean jockey installed but the driver didn't work12:01
awpeter_let me clarify, i first tried to install via jockey12:01
awpeter_then removed everything12:02
awpeter_and tried via nvidia and nvidia's instller told me that nouveau was still loaded and he can;t continue12:02
apwawpeter_, so if you can install the nvidia driver and then grab the blacklist it made, i would like to see that, and file a bug against, erm, well i guess kmod for now and attach the blacklist saying it doesn't work; and get me the number12:10
awpeter_apw uh.. i removed the files and made the blacklist file myself to be sure.. also this is working now so to reproduce it i would have to remove the blacklist from grub, update grub, reboot, etc.. =d12:11
apwawpeter_, your call, as the blacklist in modprobe should work12:12
awpeter_apw just a question, if update-initramfs wouldn't work, would the blacklist do anything?12:12
apwawpeter_, i believe you do need to have a rebuilt initrd to get the blacklists12:13
apwhmmm, is that 100% true12:14
awpeter_apw just to be clear i'm on elementary luna, but i asked there and they said that they don't change any tools from ubuntu12:14
apwawpeter_, as nouveau is in the initrd you would have to rebuild that after installation of nvidia i suspect to get the blacklists included if they have changed12:16
apwawpeter_, i suspect that the nvidia downloader should be doing that12:16
apwif you get bored you could confirm that doing that sorts you out12:16
awpeter_apw and i tried to run "sudo update-initramfs -u" but it did nothing12:17
awpeter_apw so i suppose there was the problem12:17
apwawpeter_, did nothing as in nothing happened at all, or nothing got better12:17
awpeter_nothing happened, i hit enter and it didn't process anything12:17
awpeter_just went straight back to cmd line12:17
apwapw@dm:~/git2/linux$ sudo update-initramfs -u12:18
apw[sudo] password for apw:12:18
apwupdate-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-18-generic12:18
apwwell that sounds like something else is broken as it does for me12:18
awpeter_yeah12:18
apwso perhaps it does even do the right thing12:18
awpeter_and i don't want to confuse anybody here but i asked on elementary-dev12:18
awpeter_and somebody said there they don't change the tools12:19
awpeter_so it should work like it does on ubuntu 12.1012:19
awpeter_and updating initram clearly doesn't work for me12:19
awpeter_so now i don't know if it's their problem or ubuntus =d12:20

tkamppeterOdyX, I have aded you to the printing team on LP now.15:07
OdyXtkamppeter: yeah; I don't really know what it can be useful for, but well :-) Did you see my request about Brother above ?15:08
tkamppeterOdyX, I have contacts to Brother, but for me it seems that they have driver code which they want to keep secret (partially bought from third parties) and open source wrappers to integrate the drivers into Linux environments.15:09
GunnarHjSpamapS: ping?15:10
dokoScottK, xnox: thanks15:10
ScottKdoko: You're welcome.15:11
OdyXtkamppeter: it would be already better if they put all these binaries in nice tarballs that we could package to non-free e.f15:12
OdyXtkamppeter: same for the cupswrappers, which are free software.15:12
OdyXtkamppeter: I kinda-understand the need to keep driver stuff private, but it makes their printers x86-limited and badly supported in Linux currently.15:13
OdyXtkamppeter: the best would be for them to hire someone to do some linux'ish / FLOSS consultancy for the handling of these drivers; I think they can see an interest in having their printers work out-of-the-box on Linuxes.15:14
tkamppeterOdyX, yes, my HP printers work even on an ARM-based Nexus 7 running Ubuntu.15:15
OdyXtkamppeter: anyway, to make longs things short: if we can get them release non-free stuff in a better way than hidden in rpms and behind useless GPL click-through, we could have their stuff packaged and shipped in non-free/multiverse, for their benefit.15:17
OdyXtkamppeter: if you have contacts, I'd be grateful if we could get in touch with them in that direction, I'd be happy to be involved on the technical side.15:17
OdyX(as installing a Brother printer using stupid  debian packages today annoyed me highly)15:17
OdyXtkamppeter: ah, my other concern was the forum.openprinting.org, linked from linuxfoundation.org, but not accessible :)15:18
tkamppeterOdyX, I need to re-install that.15:19
OdyXtkamppeter: ah okay, as long as you're aware.15:21
OdyXtkamppeter: for this Brother thing, is that something you plan to do or you'd prefer to let me handle it (using your sicritz contacts) ?15:21
OdyXyou have the linuxfoundation lever, probably longer than my debian lever :)15:22
_val_Hi. Thanks for packaging the spice-xpi plugin for mozilla firefox. There seems to be a bug. Is someone aware of this bug?15:35
smartboyhw_val_, then report a bug against it......15:36

smartboyhw_val_, what?15:37

achianghi, in general if a lower level library gets updated in the archive, does that necessarily imply a rebuild for all its rdepends?15:40
achiangquestion applies for things like SRUs, security updates, etc.15:41
achiangjdstrand: ^^15:41
SpamapSLaney: re copying webkit.. its my understanding that we shouldn't be copying packages that have arch: any binary packages because the toolchain is newer in raring.15:42
OdyXachiang: afaik no.15:42
jdstrandachiang: not unless there is an abi change15:42
SpamapSLaney: I assume this is especially important for armhf binaries15:42
jdstrandachiang: and we very much try to avoid those in updates15:42
achiangah, that's good to know.15:42
achiangso is that different from the early days of a release when the archive is rebuilding then? what is that all about?15:43
jdstrandachiang: sometimes it is unavoidable, like with how we are updating webkit, but by and large, that is not the norm15:43
=== Sweetsha1k is now known as Sweetshark
SpamapSGunnarHj: pong, whats up?15:43
achiangjdstrand: makes sense. but we do rebuild the archive for days at a time usually right before UDS, and i'd like to know what that's for. :)15:45
jdstrandI think that is more bootstrapping the toolchain and libc and stuff15:45
achiangso everything built afterwards *does* have the proper ABI, yeah?15:46
jdstrandbut yeah, there are abi changes in that process, so things have to be rebuilt15:46
SpamapSachiang: thats for ABI library transitions too15:46
SpamapSbut sometimes there are library transitions later, and thats where you see smaller rebuilds15:47
jdstrandachiang: but that is the dev release, not a stable release. different rules and processes there15:47
achiangis there a convention in d/changelog or package name if an ABI change occurs?15:47
jdstrandnot that I know of15:48
achianghm, ok15:48
GunnarHjSpamapS: Hi Clint, and thanks for uploading the fix of bug 875435 to quantal-proposed yesterday. There are branches with identical changes in the Precise and Oneiric queues. Would you mind to upload also those, in order to simplify the verification process?15:48

SpamapSachiang: the convention is to name the library package after the ABI version. so for instance libmysqlclient1815:49
achiangah!15:49
achiangok15:49
SpamapSachiang: and thats actually fairly important so that you can have the old one around to maintain installability15:49
achiangjdstrand: SpamapS: thanks, makes sense15:49
