darkxstI am thinking of upload the current version of synergy to raring, but its not backwards compatible with the existing version in the repo's01:21
darkxstwhats the best way to handle that? obviously would need to keep the old version available as well01:21
micahgdarkxst: depends, if the old version isn't supported, it should just be replaced, but in either case, something like this should probably be done through Debian01:22
micahgexperimental has 1.3.1001:23
darkxstmicahg, current branch is 1.4.x01:25
darkxstI think the 1.3 branch is no longer supported upstream01:25
micahgdarkxst: I'd suggest speaking with the Debian maintainer about how he plans on handling the new version and what you can do to help01:26
micahghrm, I read wrong, experimental has 1.4.1001:26
darkxstmicahg, so we could just sync that?01:29
micahgwell, upstream it's marked as beta01:29
micahgidk if it's syncable or we need our diff still01:30
micahgah, I see we're in sync again01:30
darkxstyes upstream 1.4.x is marked as beta, however as I said 1.3 branch is not maintained anymore and hasnt been for quite a while01:34
micahgso, assuming 1.4.x is usable in raring, yeah, you can pursue a sync (and might want to backport to precise and quantal since it's incompatible with the ones in that release)01:35
darkxstmicahg, yes I have 1.4 running across raring, quantal and precise machines01:38
darkxstworks fine on all 3 machines01:38
micahgok, go for it then :)01:38
darkxstok will do01:39
TheLordOfTimemicahg, what's the general turnaround time for backport requests that've been checked/tested?01:47
micahgTheLordOfTime: depends if the backporters have time :), so for me, that's later this week01:47
TheLordOfTimemmkay :)01:48

dholbachgood morning08:02
mitya57hi dholbach08:06
dholbachhey mitya5708:06
mitya57did you notice that I fixed oneiric & precise builds?08:06
dholbachmitya57, u-p-g builds again on all releases :)08:06
mitya57:)08:06
dholbachgood work! спасибо! :)08:06
dholbachprobably time to enable Spanish? :)08:07
mitya57yes, I think08:07
mitya57it should build on >= precise08:07
mitya57also, do you have anything against http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mitya57/ubuntu-packaging-guide/no-pot-hashes/revision/230?08:08
dholbachmitya57, no, it's a good idea - I'm not sure how careful we need to be, but do you think the regex should also make sure the line ^"# " and ends after those 32 chars?08:12
dholbachmitya57, those hashes irked me too to be honest - it makes a .pot diff harder to read than necessary and they change all the time08:13
mitya57I can add "# " to the regexp08:13
dholbachsweet08:14
dholbachthanks you08:14
mitya57dholbach, fixed and pushed08:17
dholbachgreat work08:18
dholbachthanks08:18
dholbachmitya57, can you review http://code.launchpad.net/~dholbach/ubuntu-packaging-guide/enable-spanish? (basically I just removed the footnote as discussed and ran ./debian/scripts/add-languages + bzr add)08:28
dholbachhttps://code.launchpad.net/~dholbach/ubuntu-packaging-guide/enable-spanish/+merge/13777008:28
mitya57dholbach, removed the footnote? why? it should work with my fixed sphinx08:29
mitya57I can also backport the fix to oneiric if you want08:30
dholbachok, let me see08:31
dholbachthat might be good08:32
dholbachfor the archive itself it will be irrelevant though08:32
mitya57for "official" backports (not in ppa) we can either disable translations or backport sphinx08:33
dholbachmitya57, it does not build for me with the footnote reenabled: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1409815/08:35
mitya57dholbach, what version of sphinx?08:35
dholbachmitya57, it's at the bottom of the pastebin08:35
dholbach1.1.3+dfsg-5ubuntu1~ppa1~12.1008:36
dholbachsorry, it got cut off I just noticed08:36
mitya57very strage, builds perfectly for me, the patch is the same and is enabled in series08:38
* mitya57 installs the package from ppa08:39
mitya57dholbach, works with sphinx from ppa for me, can you run "make clean" and then try to build again?08:44
dholbachmitya57, I built it in a pbuilder08:44
dholbachah ok08:44
dholbachnevermind08:45
dholbach /o\08:45
dholbachlet me get another coffee :)08:45
dholbachmitya57, it works08:48
dholbachI updated https://code.launchpad.net/~dholbach/ubuntu-packaging-guide/enable-spanish/+merge/13777008:49
mitya57dholbach, looks good, thank you!08:53
mitya57the only thing I maybe don't like is "This is the 'es' version." string08:54
dholbachmitya57, it's done automatically :)08:54
mitya57I know, but maybe we can manually correct it to something better08:55
mitya57like "This is the Spanish translation of the guide"08:55
dholbachhang on08:56
dholbachupdated08:57
mitya57dholbach, danke, push it08:58
dholbachcan't believe we're about to fix this :)08:58
mitya57re the warnings: it's not our issue, a workaround is https://gist.github.com/416900809:00
dholbachah ok09:00
dholbachmitya57, can you leave a comment on the merge proposal or 'approve' it?09:00
mitya57done09:02

coolbhavialo21, yes15:02
alo21coolbhavi, do you thinks this make's guide is good (http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/index.html#toc_Top)?15:03
coolbhavialo21,  for what purpose?15:04
alo21coolbhavi, packaging15:04
coolbhavialo21, you can take a look at the packaging guide of ubuntu15:05
coolbhavifor a start15:05
alo21the new one on developer.ubuntu.com. Right?15:05
coolbhaviyes15:05
coolbhavihttp://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/15:05
alo21ok. Even if I think it would not be very useful to resolve packaging problem. Did you learn all stuff there?15:06
TheLordOfTimemost of my packaging knowledge is learned from the packaging guide, as well as gentle nudging in the right direction from Debian mentors, and my dissecting packages :P15:07
* TheLordOfTime very rarely does much packaging work nowadays outside of bugfixing things.15:07

ESphynxHey guys... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecere-sdk/+bug/1077734 does this look OK for an SRU?16:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1077734 in ecere-sdk (Ubuntu) "[SRU] Please sync ecere-sdk 0.44.02-1 from Raring into Quantal" [Undecided,Fix released]16:22
ESphynx"Ask a bug supervisor to target the bug to the appropriate Ubuntu releases" =)16:22
TheLordOfTimeerm...16:22
TheLordOfTimenot to be stupid or an ass, but isnt a sync != SRU?16:23
* TheLordOfTime waits for a MOTU to respond to that16:23
ESphynxwhat should I call it16:23
ESphynxi was going to say 'bring in'16:23
ESphynxwould that be better?16:23
TheLordOfTimei dont think they sync anything to quantal, but i'm not a MOTU16:23
TheLordOfTimeso why don't you wait for them to answer my question :P16:23
ESphynxfair enough16:24
mitya57ESphynx, doesn't look like a bugfix release16:24
ESphynxmitya57: how does it not?16:24
mitya57"Added support for a SYSROOT and GCC prefix in Compiler Settings"16:24
mitya57"Initial support for the Android platform"16:24
ESphynxmitya57: there were a few commits included as well. i didn't do a special branch just for it.16:24
ESphynxmitya57: but the point is that the SDK is otherwise uninstallable.16:24
micahgESphynx: no, you should cherry pick the fixes you need for the SRU16:25
TheLordOfTimewhat micahg said, which is why I brought up the sync != SRU16:25
ESphynxugg.16:25
ESphynxI don't have time to do that16:25
TheLordOfTimeHaving said this, wouldn't backporting be a potential solution, micahg?16:25
TheLordOfTimein that backport from Raring -> Quantal IF it builds and runs and installs?16:25
micahgTheLordOfTime: well, the installability should be fixed as an SRU, if one wanted the android support backported, that's a different issue16:25
ESphynxthe android support is still in the works.16:26
* TheLordOfTime forgot to mention he assumed that a targetted bugfix would not be possible/16:26
ESphynxI just included whatever commit I had in my HEAD at the time16:26
micahgwe don't backport for bug fixes16:26
TheLordOfTimei see.16:27
micahgESphynx: if you ping me next week, I'll see if I can cherry pick the stuff for you quickly16:27
ESphynxmicahg: K, thanks... I could look through right the commits right now and tell you which ones are likely16:27
ESphynxjust that there are a number of other bugs that this would have solved as well.16:29
ESphynxeww it's going to be very difficult.16:32
ESphynxthings are sure to conflict.16:32
ESphynxI give up. an SRU would be the best... a Backport perhaps would make it installable?16:33
ESphynxat any rate I'm late for the office.16:33
ESphynxcheers. thanks guys.16:33
TheLordOfTimebackports for bugfixes are a no-go, and micahg'd know.16:34
TheLordOfTimeat least, that's how i'm interpreting him.16:34
ESphynxwell. we're f'ed then.16:34
ESphynxQuantal users on 64 bit machines can't use it16:34
TheLordOfTimemicahg, feel free to confirm/modify my interpretation if its wrong. :P16:34
ESphynxthere were 2 goals for this 0.44.02 release...16:36
ESphynxBe included into Sid ... Failed.16:37
ESphynxFix issues on Quantal/64bit ... Failed.16:37
TheLordOfTimeisn't sid frozen right now?16:37
TheLordOfTimeor partly-frozen at least...16:37
ESphynxprobably why :P16:38
ESphynxthought it was frozen for years :P16:38
TheLordOfTimethey ahve insane freeze times16:38
TheLordOfTime:P16:38
micahgsid is only "frozen" for packages that need migration to wheezy, new packages can go there anytime AIUI16:38
ESphynxthought so16:39
TheLordOfTimethat's assuming anyone is handling experimental -> sid stuff16:39
TheLordOfTimeno?16:39
micahgand I say "frozen" since maintainers can still upload whatever they want, it just won't mmigrate16:39
micahgTheLordOfTime: it's not automatic, requires a new upload16:39
TheLordOfTimeah.16:39
ESphynxmicahg: bug fixes aside, couldn't a new package just be backported?16:39
TheLordOfTimeyeah, was curious, usually ZNC (which i asked to be synced to raring, which was done) is in sid, not experimental, or it migrates fast.16:40
TheLordOfTimeso... *shrugs*16:40
ESphynxthough backport are still not automatic right, so apt-get install ecere-sdk would still not install on a fresh Quantal?16:40
micahgESphynx: only for features, not bug fixes, -backports isn't a way to work around the SRU process16:40
TheLordOfTimeguess the debian freeze is messing with them :P16:40
ESphynxmicahg: But not all bug fixes are SRUs?16:40
ESphynxthere isn't such a clear bug fixes/features separation in our development stream :P16:41
micahgyeah, true, if it's not SRU worthy, we'd probably take it in backports, but this is very SRU worthy16:41
ESphynxah ok16:41
ESphynxwell, damn.16:41
ESphynxlet me try again.16:41
TheLordOfTimemicahg, pure curiosity: are security bugs subject to a different process, or also subject to the SRU process?  (in regards to expediency of getting things into -security or -updates)16:41
TheLordOfTimeor should I be bugging -hardened about that one?16:42
micahgTheLordOfTime: different, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation16:42
TheLordOfTimethat's what i thought, wasn't sure :)16:42
ESphynxtruth is most of the commits are fixes oriented...16:44
ESphynxmajor bug fixes/minor additions :| the build system changed, so all makefiles changed... and the wanted commits fixing bugs won't work without the build system improvemens16:45
ESphynxwell thanks again micahg. gotta go now16:47
micahgESphynx: so, ping me next week, we'll see about cherry picking a fix, you'll just be on the hook for the paperwork/testing16:48
ESphynxmicahg I'd basically have to do the work over again.16:49
ESphynxhad I known, I would have focused on the SRU first.16:50
micahgESphynx: I thought I told you that weeks ago...(to do a targeted fix for just these issues to Debian)16:50
ESphynxIt's all about my understanding of the word 'targeted' :)16:50
TheLordOfTimeFWIW...16:51
TheLordOfTime"targetted" basically means highly-specific fixes.16:51
TheLordOfTimeat least here it does.16:51
TheLordOfTime:P16:51
ESphynxthis was highly specific for me. just not enough :P16:51
micahgESphynx: anyways, the installability should be control file fixes and easily pickable, I'd help you with that next week16:51
* micahg goes back to hiding now16:52
ESphynxmicahg: that can probably be cherry-picked easily. problem is I had to change the runtime to look for files in /usr/lib/ec/16:52
ESphynxso there are some code changes there as well.16:52
ESphynxAnd I was hoping to also include the fixes I did so the bots could try to build on ARM and PPC again16:52
ESphynxand some buffer overflow bugs in there...16:52
ESphynxcheers.16:53
