| phillw | Hello good people, is there someone about who could look into bug 964705 ? It has fix released by others, could it be 'cherry picked' for ubuntu? | 00:50 |
|---|---|---|
| ubottu | bug 964705 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "System policy prevents modification of network settings for all users" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/964705 | 00:50 |
| sarnold | phillw: it might be worth pointing out the specific patches used to fix the problem | 01:03 |
| sarnold | (fwiw, the bug report comments just seem to be a pile of ranting about various things; it'd probably be worth explaining what specific feature / bug those patches address..) | 01:04 |
| phillw | sarnold: that is beyond my knowledge... it 'seems' ubuntu' do not rate it highly, but others have rated it, and more importantly have a fix released? | 01:05 |
| phillw | sarnold: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731812 | 01:06 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.novell.com bug 731812 in Network "NetworkManager and time settings unusable for normal users, and forced ipv6 probing" [Critical,Resolved: fixed] | 01:07 |
| phillw | Ahh... I've seen this bug elsewhere.. it is polkit and sudo gremlin | 01:07 |
| phillw | yeah, there are several bugs open. All roads lead to Rome. polkit. | 01:10 |
| sarnold | wow, that novell bugreport is fun reading. | 01:12 |
| phillw | yup, back to polkit... which is an issue with other bugs I see cross my mailing list. | 01:15 |
| phillw | sarnold: having had fun reading... your thoughts? | 01:37 |
| sarnold | phillw: no ideas, I couldn't figure out what might be applicable to ubuntu vs applicable to world at large.. my eyes glaze over when polkit and consolekit and soforth get involved. | 01:38 |
| phillw | yeah, I know what you mean. I see 'chatter' about using polkit Vs looking up admin on the system... I do feel we need someone from 'above' to sort this out, as it would squish lots of different bugs. | 01:41 |
| phillw | Thanks for you time, I'll try to grab someone to see where the rules of polkit is going. | 01:46 |
| sarnold | agreed completely re "someone from above" | 01:48 |
| Bluefoxicy | huh apt-cacher is interesting | 02:02 |
| Bluefoxicy | here's a question: why aren't there a few main mirrors, with the rest being cachers that don't bother downloading packages unless someone tries to get it from that mirror? | 02:03 |
| sarnold | a few thoughts: (a) if the main repo goes down and a cache doesn't yet have the package, it must either return failure or get the package from a peer. that's complicated. (b) how often should the caches check if a newer package is available from the main repos? pushing packages as they change is probably less traffic overall than having an expiry scheme | 02:06 |
| Bluefoxicy | uh | 02:06 |
| Bluefoxicy | why would it check for a new version? | 02:06 |
| Bluefoxicy | don't you bump the version number in the file name? | 02:06 |
| sarnold | .. how would the clients know to request the newer version? | 02:07 |
| Bluefoxicy | because you push updates to the Packages.gz file | 02:07 |

| dkessel | i have a question. i just tried: bzr branch ubuntu:webkit | 09:08 |
| dkessel | and it says: Packaging branch status: OUT-OF-DATE | 09:08 |
| dkessel | i have checked the package import status site and there is a bug for it. is there anything i can do to get the current version? | 09:09 |

| infinity | dkessel: If you want the current version, "pull-lp-source webkit" (from the ubuntu-dev-tools package) or just "apt-get source webkit" to get the source that matches your currently installation. | 09:54 |
| infinity | s/currently/current/ | 09:54 |
| dkessel | infinity: thanks, pull-lp-source did it | 10:03 |
| dkessel | infinity: if i do any changes and upload that as a personal bzr branch on launchpad - would a ubuntu developer have any problems merging the changes into the current version? | 10:08 |
| infinity | You'd likely want to talk to Laney or micahg. Depends on what the changes are, and why. | 10:09 |
| infinity | (What are you changing?) | 10:09 |
| dkessel | I will try to get a simple compile/link/run autopkgtest to work for the package libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev . normally i do this using bzr to create a branch of the current version, commiting my changes and then the changes get reviewed | 10:12 |
| infinity | Oh, sure, I imagine an autopkgtest case would be something we'd be interested in merging. You could just file a bug with a diff attached, there's no reason it needs to be a bzr branch. | 10:13 |
| infinity | (And, in fact, a branch with no sane parent is just a pain to merge anyway) | 10:13 |
| dkessel | oh ok - i will do it this way then | 10:14 |
| dkessel | inifinity: thanks and bye | 10:15 |
| Laney | dkessel: You should look into running the gtk tests too (Tools/Scripts/run-gtk-tests) | 10:27 |

| gotwig | cjwatson, hey there | 10:59 |

| gotwig | cjwatson, no problem. Have a nice time :D | 11:01 |
| chilicuil | hi, good morning, sry to bother, what's the correct behaviour in case I want to change a line to fix a bug which was introduced by a patch living in /debian?, should I edit the patch file or provide another? | 11:22 |
| infinity | chilicuil: If the patch is something like a pull from an upstream VCS, stacking another on top (and submitting it upstream) is sane. | 11:24 |
| infinity | chilicuil: If it's a local patch, then just fixing it makes more sense than appending to it. | 11:24 |
| chilicuil | infinity: it was introduced by the debian maintainer, so I suppose that qualifies as a local change, right? | 11:25 |
| infinity | chilicuil: Yeah, though you'd also want to forward your fix to Debian. | 11:25 |
| infinity | (which patch is this?) | 11:25 |
| chilicuil | infinity: yep, it's just that the package in debian is orphaned, however I'll try, it's a little problem in html2text, #586279 | 11:26 |

| infinity | chilicuil: Ahh, fair enough. If it's orphaned, want to bug me about it $later (or provide a patch and /msg me about it), and I'll fix it in Debian with a QA upload and sync to Ubuntu? | 11:28 |
| infinity | chilicuil: (I only request later because I'm heading to bed) | 11:28 |
| chilicuil | infinity: sure, I'll do it, thanks | 11:28 |

| slangasek | mlankhorst: hi, I see you're involved in maintaining the wine1.5 packages in the ~ubuntu-wine ppa - are there any plans for this to land in raring? | 21:54 |
| slangasek | mlankhorst: also, do you know if anyone's working on audio device enumeration in wine using the pulse driver? | 21:55 |
| mlankhorst | I maintain winepulse | 21:57 |
| mlankhorst | and ask next year please | 21:57 |
| slangasek | heh :) | 21:58 |
| slangasek | mlankhorst: but I have an app I want to use it for over vacation, and time to spend hacking wine... if I wait until next year, it might be too late :-) | 21:58 |
| mlankhorst | I maintain winepulse in ubuntu-wine | 21:59 |
| paultag | jbicha: poke | 22:02 |
| paultag | jbicha: sorry about that bug, but I'm a bit swaped -- the issue stems from SFTP not meaning a user account on the system (or even a $HOME), so using "~" in SFTP is a bit odd | 22:03 |
| paultag | jbicha: if you find out what legacy dput does, I'd be happy to add a shim, but parimiko has no idea what's going on otherwise | 22:03 |
| paultag | one idea we were throwing around was just ditching the "~", which seems like it'll do the trick (but I'm not sure) | 22:04 |
| mlankhorst | slangasek: so wine is actually ok, just dont ask about upstream, dont want to work :P | 22:05 |
| jbicha | paultag: thanks, it's fairly easy for me to switch back to classic dput when needed | 22:17 |
| paultag | jbicha: righto. In the meantime, patches welcome, otherwise it's on my queue for some downtime during my vacation | 22:20 |
| paultag | or not :) | 22:21 |
| paultag | 17:20 < paultag> jbicha: righto. In the meantime, patches welcome, otherwise it's on my queue for some downtime during my vacation | 22:25 |
| paultag | jbicha: in case you missed it :) | 22:25 |
| paultag | I'll have to take a closer look, sorry for the bumpy ride, but this was something we were trying to work out for a while now without putting it on the fire | 22:25 |
