TheMusoAnd at this point, there is no point merging with 1.0.27-2, because its just a changelog entry and a re-upload to unstable, so doesn't bring anything in thats needed over 1.0.27-1.00:04
TheMusoAnd ALSA is one of those things hwere we have to tread carefully. As it is we haven't put out a wider call for testing yet because there are some important bugs that still need addressing that could be an issue for some.00:05

dupondjecjwatson: about fsl, if it builds fine, it should be ok :). Was just a fix to make it build again.11:36
cjwatsonOK, I'll double-check and sync if it works, thanks11:36
cjwatsondupondje: Looks fine.  Synced.12:03
dupondjegood :)12:06
alo21hi everybody... I am trying to merge bluemaa, but I have some questions about it..14:17
Rhondawtf.14:17
Rhonda"Dear Mr. Fuchs"  *nibbles on Laney*14:18
RhondaWhy do people assume male gender?14:18
LaneySerious problems with Mr. Fuchs14:18
RhondaOf course.14:18
alo21there is series.DEBIAN and series.UBUNTU in my debian/patches folder. the first now track only some patches, the second one others.... my question is: have to merge both files in one?14:18
RhondaLaney: The mail is even in German.  I'm puzzled. :)14:19
TheLordOfTimei just address people as "SIR OR MADAM" when talking about IRC individuals14:19
TheLordOfTimeunless I know someone :14:19
TheLordOfTimeP14:19
Rhondaalo21: Why do you think you have to merge them?14:19
LaneyHi $nick, works14:19
tumbleweed"you there"14:19
RhondaTheLordOfTime: Do it the other way round. :)14:19
TheLordOfTimeLaney:  true, but :P14:19
alo21Rhonda, are series files important to apply patches?14:19
Laneyalo21: You have to figure out what goes in what by examining the package14:20
LaneySee: merges aren't a good place to get started14:20
Rhondaalo21: Of course, because they define which patches will get applied?14:20
tumbleweedalo21: merges really aren't a good place to get started14:20
alo21Rhonda, so.. as I told in my debian/patches folder I have two series file14:21
RhondaRight.  And depending on the distribution you build on, either the one or the other will get used.14:21
alo21Laney, tumbleweed I've just made practise with sync, and I would like to do something a little bit difficult14:21
RhondaIs there a German language ubuntu-users list?14:22
Laneyubuntu-de@lists.ubuntu.com14:22
tumbleweedmerges and syncs are the same thing, really. You need to figure out whether a merge or a sync is the right thing to do, and that can be quite hard14:22
alo21Rhonda, does it means that I can delete series.DEBIAN file?14:23
Laneyit's not technically an equivalent of ubuntu-users but should be good enough14:23
RhondaLaney: Thanks.14:23
Rhondaalo21: No, you shouldn't.  That would be an unnecessary change.14:23
alo21tumbleweed, ok... I think blueman is a worth-merge.. and it can't be dropped. Am I right?14:24
alo21Rhonda, Do I have to check which debian's patches are useful in Ubuntu too?14:25
geserRhonda: isn't series.DEBIAN and series.UBUNTU from the bzr merge where bzr couldn't automatically resolve the conflict and let the user do it?14:25
tumbleweedseries.$distro is certainly a dpkg thing too14:25
Laneythat's vendor.series14:26
tumbleweedah14:26
Rhondaalo21: They should already be in series.UBUNTU I would expect.14:28
Rhondageser: Oh, no clue about that part.  I thought they are this new fangled quilt v3 source format series files for each distribution?14:28
RhondaAlright, forget my comments then, Laney knows better. :)14:29
alo21Rhonda, not all of them...in patches folder there are 3 .patch file and 7 patches without .patch extension14:29
LaneyI imagine throwing in a VCS when you're already confused isn't the most helpful thing in the world14:29
Rhondaalo21: The extension doesn't mean much for patch files, to be honest.14:30
alo21Rhonda, series.UBUNTU tracks only .patch files, and series.DEBIAN the rest14:30
alo21what should I do?14:33
geserwithout knowing the package you try to merge: this sounds like the patches got renamed and bzr doesn't know how to resolve the conflict14:34
alo21geser, ok... I have another question too...14:34
geserI would suggest you first try to figure out what changed in the Debian branch (like renamed files) to better understand how the merge should like like14:35
alo21ok... thanks14:36

tumbleweedoh right I had seen that15:09
psusi${word%%[*} should strip the string "sda1[1]" down to just the "sda1" part shouldn't it?18:29
geserpsusi: my bash agrees (word="sda1[1]"; echo ${word%%[*} -> sda1)18:31
psusihrm... that is odd.. because it isn't working in os-prober18:32
psusiwait... shit... looks like this may be a bloody bash vs. dash issue18:32
geseris os-prober run by bash? or only sh?18:32
psusithe shbang line is /bin/sh, so that's dash these days iirc18:33
geseryes18:33
geserword="sda1[1]"; echo ${word%%\[*} works in dash18:34
geser(and bash)18:34
geserpsusi: ^^18:42
psusicjwatson: could you take a look at bug #905607?  Simple missing escape character in os-prober causes it to fail to skip probing raid component devices when using dash18:44
