zulhow do you get something on the blacklist for merges.ubuntu.com?13:54
cjwatsonzul: ask an archive admin to sync-blacklist it, but blacklisting isn't necessarily the right answer13:57
cjwatsonzul: what in particular are you referring to?13:57
zulcjwatson:  i was looking at the list and we dont merge any of the openstack packaging from debian (so things like ceilometer and python-cinderclient, etc)13:58
cjwatsonzul: That usually works out being a mistake in the long run13:58
cjwatsonUsually when I run across that it's accompanied by swearing at the way Debian packaging improvements haven't been carried over into Ubuntu13:59
cjwatsonSo I'm pretty reluctant to entrench it13:59
zulcjwatson:  right but alot of the openstack debian packaging uses debconf which we dont consider an improvement and often broken14:00
cjwatsonThat doesn't mean other aspects aren't worth merging14:00
zulcjwatson:  sure14:00
tseliotstgraber: hi, can you have a look at bug #1250449 please? (new nvidia packages for trusty)14:00
cjwatsonIn particular Python module packages that are only maintained in Ubuntu usually end up being worse off IME14:00
ubottubug 1250449 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-319 (Ubuntu) "Include the 331 driver in Ubuntu" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/125044914:00
zulcjwatson:  with regards to the merging  openstack packaging from debian we are often ahead so why dont they merge from us since the "packaging" style of the debian maintainer is not compatible with the stuff that we need to do14:05
cjwatsonyou're reasonably reliably ahead as long as the only metric you look at is the upstream version number14:07
cjwatsonanyway, feel free to persuade some other archive admin, I'm not generally happy with blacklisting for this reason14:08
jamespagecjwatson, fortunately we also take into account peer review on every packaging commit and continual CI of packaging and deployment against upstream trunk and stable branches as well14:09
cjwatsonlike I say, I'm not going to agree on this, but you can try somebody else if you like :)14:10
mitya57zul: upstream OpenStack maintainer is usually friendly to Ubuntu and can even merge some Ubuntu-specific changes back, i.e. http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/blktap-dkms/news/20130322T121730Z.html14:10
xnoxto me it seemed that debian is fairly actively up to date. But e.g. we packaged rc for release, and debian packaged final only.14:10
cjwatsonI'm generally of the opinion that we should blacklist as little as possible14:10
cjwatsonand that many of the blacklists we have so far have turned out to be trouble later14:10
jamespagecjwatson, fine - tbh is fairly moot anyway - by the time we get to first milestone for icehouse stuff won't appear on merges.u.c anyway14:11
cjwatsonmainly because they tend to be maintenance-invisible14:11
cjwatsonit's not a lack of review on the packaging changes that you *do* have that concerns me about this in general; it's invisibility of the patches you don't have that Debian does14:12
cjwatsonand a general disdain for Debian14:12
cjwatsonif they're doing it wrong, persuade them otherwise :)14:12
jamespagecjwatson, whoa - I never reflected that14:12
jamespageand I have tried :-(14:12
cjwatsonit'll be better for everyone14:12
cjwatsonthere are packages I maintain where I disagree with the Debian maintainer about something; it just means a long-term delta, but not permanently ignoring them14:14
jamespagemaybe a better way to have started this discussion would have been "we are divergent for a number of reasons on the openstack package set - whats the best way to manage this bearing in mind we will not ever quite sync up with debian"14:15
cjwatsonmy general opinion on that class of question is that it's perfectly OK to never quite sync up, but it's not clear to me that that means the long-term wise thing to do is to go it entirely alone14:17
cjwatsonbearing in mind that long-term packaging divergence affects more than just one part of the archive; it can often have knock-on effects elsewhere with things like incomplete transitions14:18
jamespagecjwatson, we've been trying to figure out the best way to flow patches between Debian/Ubuntu but its really hard to track14:18
jamespagenormally its a conversation in debian-openstack which works OK14:19
cjwatsonfrex some of the obsolete packages Debian has managed to remove entirely (e.g. python-central) are still stuck in Ubuntu because of a bunch of long-term-diverged or Ubuntu-local packages where people just haven't kept up14:19
cjwatsonwe lose out on archive-wide QA14:19
=== freeflying is now known as freeflying_away
cjwatsonin the case of Ubuntu, this is often particularly bad for packages that were once part of the Current Great Thing for a particular team but have since been abandoned, and this is really hard to track since by the nature of these things the teams who used to deal with them have now lost interest14:21
cjwatsonunfortunately I see this pattern a fair bit14:21
tjaaltonjamespage: infiltrate debian-openstack and maintain things there? :) /me runs..14:21
jamespagetjaalton, go look at the team membership list on alioth :-)14:22

seb128Laney did the rb update I think16:01
didrocksLaney: you wanted a new browser to please mdeslaur? :)16:01
Laneyarm6416:01
dokoahh, yes, arm64 doesn't have another one16:02
mdeslaurargh! :)16:02
xnoxdoko: can we make w3m provide x-www-browser on arm64?! =)16:03
seb128Laney, why does rb need to recommend a browser?16:03
xnoxseb128: to open u1 music store?16:03
mdeslaurthere's no way epiphany is going to main16:04
Laneynobody's askign it to16:04
seb128xnox, isn't that a "try to activate an url, how the url is handled is up to the system"?16:04
LaneyI assume it's from the plugin16:04
xnoxi wonder if dropping to suggests will just work. Since anybody that has rhythmbox installed is likely to have a graphical web-browser, and if they don't, they are probably installing everything with no-recommends and no-suggests anyway.16:05
LaneyJust ignore it16:06
seb128Laney, well, if it's creating noise on component mistmatch it's still annoying?16:08
cjwatsonBest fix is to port firefox; until then it's a known false positive and you should just ignore it really16:09
cjwatsonNo point getting exercised over it16:09
seb128well, downgrading to a Suggests would make sense, I'm not sure an application needs to recommends a webbrowser just because one of its plugin has an url handler16:10
LaneyIt is weird for a mozilla plugin to recommend epiphany-browser, mind you16:10
seb128but yeah, not an important topic16:10
Laneyit's not a url handler16:10
cjwatsonseb128: if it weren't rhythmbox it would probably be something else; I don't think there's any point in focusing on rb here16:10
seb128right16:11

hallyn_infinity: fwiw, qemu package with qemu-arm64-static is in ppa:serge-hallyn/virt.  (didn't manually add -lgpg-error so hadn't expectd it to build)  not sure what to test with.16:29
xnoxhallyn_: libnih + upstart have in excess of 6k+ tests. Also eglibc test-suite =)16:31
hallyn_xnox: do we have arm64 builds of those?  id'd need to build a chroot to start i assume16:36
xnoxhallyn_: yes, we do have arm64 of those. we have most of main build.16:37
xnoxhallyn_: you can do $ mk-sbuild --arch arm6416:38
hallyn_are you sure?  most builds i've seen just fail16:38
hallyn_but ok, i'll see, thx16:38
xnoxhallyn_: if you have qemu-arm64-static, it should be able to bootstrap arm64 chroot, with qemu-arm64-static. After that builds are just $ sbuild --arch arm64 *.dsc16:39
xnoxhallyn_: our arm64 port rocks - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes -  94% of the binary packages in the "main" component are available, and 69% of the binary packages in the archive as a whole.16:39

robrubschaefer, ping? just curious about the status of unity7 tests from friday (forgot to follow up with you then)17:13
infinityLaney: autoconf's "compiler can't create executables, HALP" message is generally useless without a config.log, where you'll see that it's probably just exiting non-0 due to a missing include or -l or something.17:13
infinityLaney: I can try to look at it between now and when I have a plane to catch.  Just headless chickening a bit this morning.17:13
Laneyinfinity: If you like. I'm a bit loathe to do blind uploads of webkit17:13
infinityLaney: That said, why is webkit building with gcc-4.7?17:13
bschaeferrobru, hmm which tests? I don't seem to remember...17:13
Laneyinfinity: It could be dropped, that came from Debian.17:14
robrubschaefer, yeah i don't remember either ;-) but didrocks says that just in general you were working towards eliminating some flaky tests and getting unity7 green.17:14
robruhe asked me to follow up with you17:14
LaneyWell, maybe could be dropped. They chose 4.7 to avoid 4.6, not to avoid 4.8.17:14
bschaeferrobru, oo, yeah our goal for unity 7 is get get all the AP tests working but its very hard to do, so far nothing new has happened17:15
robrubschaefer, oh ok. well maybe just ping me if you make any progress today. no worries.17:15
bschaeferrobru, alright will do17:16
robrubschaefer, thanks17:17
infinityLaney: Well, if it works with 4.8 (or, rather, with the default gcc, which is currently 4.8), that would be better than hardcoding it, and doko will love you forever.17:17
infinityLaney: I'm not one to talk, though, I hardcode in glibc, and sort of have to, so I'm arguably the worst offender for keeping old compilers around. :/17:18
infinityLaney: Anyhow, when I get my bearings this morning, I'll do a quick test of webkitgtk on arm64 for you and see what config.log is whining about.17:18
LaneyTa17:18

LaneyIt includes new packages for the webkit 2 API18:05
infinityconftest.c:1:0: error: target system does not support the "stabs" debug format18:07
infinityLaney: ^-- That's your error.18:07
LaneyTa, that is actually probably my error18:08
infinityLaney: -g should work fine.18:08
infinityLaney: If the goal is to avoid large links on 32-bit platforms, arm64 is, I'm pretty sure, 64-bit. ;)18:08
infinityLaney: And I assume -g is the default for things that aren't in the two filter lists.18:09
infinityLaney: Also, we're not (yet) using EGL on arm64, so adding it to the glx/egl list with armel and armhf is probably also wrong.18:09
infinityLaney: We may switch that at some point, but right now, arm64 is built for standard GL (and the previous webkit was too)18:10
infinityLaney: So, basically, the two things you added to be clever in the merge are the two broken things. ;)18:10
LaneyThere's k-a there, so it's not just 3218:10
LaneyI did ask if there was a way I could test build it. :P18:11
LaneyBut yeah, woe is me18:11
infinityLaney: My bet is that the addition of kfreebsd-amd64 to that list was a mistake/misunderstanding, but whatever.18:11
infinityLaney: if it were me, I'd probably just filter on DEB_HOST_ARCH_BITS and be done with it, but I also don't have a high carefactor here, if the current solution works.18:12
LaneyI think it might have done bad things to the kfreebsd-amd64 buildd18:17
LaneyThere's a couple of buildlogs in which ld gets killed18:18
infinityLaney: That could just be the kfreebsd-amd64 being shit.  The solution there shouldn't be to neuter builds.  But, like I said, carefactor low.  If the current thing works, meh.18:19
infinityLaney: kfreebsd is actually becoming a usable and mature product, though, so I might start caring more very soon.18:19
infinity(Once I waste a month of my hobby/spare time to help Petr get all his glibc patches upstream, I'll be even more confident in that position)18:20
LaneyWant to test build an upload removing my crap?18:20
LaneyCould also use 4.8 too.18:20
infinityLaney: No need to switch compilers just yet.  We can investigate that another time.18:33
infinityLaney: I can kick off a test build, but it won't be done before I'm in the air.18:33
LaneyMeh, can do it in the archive.18:34
infinityLaney: And then I have YYC->LHR->CBG before I'll be sort of around again.18:34

infinityNikTh: You'll find that there's a delta between linux/3.11 in saucy and linux-lts-saucy/3.11 in precise.  I assume that same delta would need massaging and application to 3.1220:37
NikThinfinity: Thanks . I thought the same thing. Probably this would be applicable when linux-lts-trusty will be released, I presume.20:39
ScottKLaney: Any idea what's up with your lilpond SRU build for powerpc?20:59
LaneyScottK: Nope, mailed the upstream people who asked me to do the fix and they are looking into it21:29
ScottKLaney: Thanks.21:44

sarnolddoes anyone know more about the flood of "package <foo> failed to install/upgrade: package <foo> is already installed and configured" that we're getting these days?23:19
sarnoldshould I be assigning them all to apt? leave them at dpkg or whatever package was selected by the bug reporting tool?23:19
ScottKGot an example?23:20
sarnoldScottK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/124975723:21
ubottuUbuntu bug 1249757 in dpkg (Ubuntu) "package python-xkit 0.5.0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: package python-xkit is already installed and configured" [Undecided,New]23:21
ScottKNo idea.23:24
ScottKI vote slangasek most likely to know and be unable to resist looking.23:24
ScottKinfinity would know, but he'd probably resist.23:25
xnoxsarnold: looking and the dpkg log file attached it looks weird. user is manually installing nvidia-current, yet all the "needed" packages to be installed are already installed =/23:26
ScottKxnox: but it still shouldn't get that error.23:26
xnoxsarnold: usually there is a bot that comes around and tells people to try something along the lines of $ dpkg --configure -a23:26
sarnoldxnox: hrm. I wonder if some guide published recently has lead a lot of people astray..23:26
ScottKAnd he said this is one of a rash of errors.23:26
ScottKEven if you manually install  a package that's already installed, you shouldn't get that error.23:27
slangaseksarnold, ScottK: I suspect an aptdaemon bug23:34
=== freeflying_away is now known as freeflying
slangasekbdmurray: ^^ have you noticed this uptick in 'is already installed and configured' bugs?23:34
sarnoldslangasek: would it be helpful for me to re-assign the package for some of these bugs?23:34
slangaseksarnold: I'd say aptdaemon is the place to start23:34
sarnoldslangasek, ScottK, xnox, thanks! :) I've moved a handful of recent bugs over to aptdaemon.23:41
bdmurrayslangasek: yes, I think so23:46
bdmurrayslangasek: I was looking at bug 1046856 somewhat recently23:46
ubottubug 1046856 in dpkg (Ubuntu) "package php5-suhosin 0.9.33-3build1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package php5-suhosin is already installed and configured" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104685623:46
slangasekbdmurray: can we pin it down to a version of some package? (aptdaemon?)23:47
