| RAOF | plugwash: You can emulate binary uploads by uploading a source package containing the pre-built binary, of course. | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| plugwash | I guess that is an option | 00:11 |
| plugwash | though it seems like a case of working round a broken distro policy | 00:12 |
| plugwash | plus i'm only a dd, I don't currently have any status in ubuntu. | 00:12 |
| ajmitch_ | I think exceptions are made sometimes for bootstrapping compilers & the like, which I assume is what you want? Those exceptions have been manually handled in the past from what I recall | 00:14 |
| plugwash | ajmitch_, right, doko made a change to binutils which broke the installability of fp-compiler (source package fpc), i've fixed the issue in the source package but freepascal is written in pascal and as such to build the new version of the source package requires an existing version of fp-compiler to be installed | 00:16 |
| plugwash | the fix is to build the latest fpc source package in an environment with an older version of binutils that doesn't suffer from the issue. I've done it for debian but I don't have the power to do it for ubuntu. | 00:17 |
| plugwash | hence why i'd like to know who to talk to about getting it handled | 00:18 |
| ajmitch_ | RAOF: I'm guessing you don't have the access needed to sort that without your method of bundling a binary? :) | 00:19 |
| RAOF | ajmitch_: Indeed not. Do we actually have such a method? | 00:21 |
| ajmitch_ | I think it's been handled manually on buildds in the past, infinity would know | 00:23 |
| ajmitch_ | it may just be simpler to bundle a prebuilt version | 00:26 |
| ScottK | yeah, infinity is probably a good start. | 00:29 |
| plugwash | ok i'll pop him an email then (he knows who I am already so he shouldn't think it's too strange) | 00:30 |

| plugwash | can anyone tell me if and where I can see information on why a package is not migrating from saucy-proposed to saucy? | 08:37 |
| Laney | plugwash: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/ | 08:38 |
| Laney | see excuses, then if that says it's valid see output | 08:38 |
| Laney | (there's a big block on for alpha 2 currently) | 08:39 |
| Laney | (should be lifted later) | 08:40 |
| plugwash | ok, looks like it's just waiting for some old lazarus binaries to be cleaned up, I presume cleanup of old binaries (no longer built by the source package) is at least semi-automated right? | 08:49 |
| maxb | NBS (not built from any source) cleanup is reported on, but I think the actual removal requires archive admin action (which they do based on the reports from time to time) | 08:52 |

| lfaraone | We now mark bugs as fix committed once they hit saucy-proposed, right? | 17:14 |
| lfaraone | I note Launchpad didn't mark it as such automatically for me. | 17:15 |
| lfaraone | nvm, the answer is apparently "fix released" | 17:18 |
| Ampelbein | I think it gets set to fix released when the package is copied over to the "normal" saucy pocket. | 17:19 |

| ScottK | There is no automatic fix committed. | 18:36 |
