hakermania If I have uploaded an earlier version of my application and thus I had a sponsor for it, should I contact him for a new version of the app and a new library not in the repos which is a dependency of this new version of the application?16:18
Laneyhakermania: I don't think so, use the sponsor queue as normal (for new packages I advise you use Debian, again as normal)16:33
hakermaniaLaney, yes, I've already sent the library to Debian, and I want to start programming the application to use the library, but as I intend the application to be in 14.04 I want a sure way to have the library quickly reviewed and pushed into the repos.16:35
hakermania"sent the library to Debian" = for review. It isn't in the repos yet.16:36
Laneyok, well if you need to then use the normal process16:36
Laneyit's fine to point your old sponsor to it, but they may not have time to look for you16:36
hakermaniaLaney, when a package is accepted in Debian how long does it take to show up in ubuntu repos (or is it immediately on "apt-get update" ?)16:37
Laneyhakermania: a few days for new sources usually (up to debian import freeze)16:38
hakermaniaLaney, is there a way to find out who my previous sponsor was :P I've completely forgotten.17:14
hakermaniaI think it was ScottK but I'm not sure at all.17:14
Adri2000hakermania: gpg --verify on the .dsc will tell you who signed the source package17:15
Laneygo to http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/<package>/+changelog and click on the version you want and then look for the "Sponsored by" field17:15
Laneyor find it on <release>-changes and look for Signed-by17:15
Adri2000or that :)17:16
LaneyIf you can get the dsc you can probably see it via one of those other two methods17:17
Laneybut that also works :P17:18
mitya57Or look at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/RELEASE/+source/PACKAGE/VERSION17:21
hakermaniaYep, the gpg matches ScottK's17:21
LaneyI usually can't remember the exact version17:22
hakermaniaThanks guys17:23
aeorilI am here:  http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/getting-set-up.html  but when I read about using the development version of Ubuntu to develop with, it gets confusing - should I be using testdrive?19:52
Noskcajaeoril, testdrive is for running the developement version in a VM. If you have the devel version as your OS or a schoot (pbuilder) of the devel version, you don't need it19:56
aeorilI have read the topic here and am now redirecting my web research to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing - it is quite different.  Is the MOTU team still the best way to get involved in contributing to Ubuntu as a developer (not apps, but Ubuntu itself)?19:59
Noskcajaeoril, If you are interesting in packaging, yes. There is also a number of ubuntu specific apps, testing tools (testdrive and automated tests), and bug fixing20:02
aeorilnosk20:07
aeorilNoskcajk I had been told previously MOTU was a good place to start because most if not all development requires packaging, so it is a good place to start (MOTU) as launch point for most development related work20:09
Noskcajaeoril, yep20:09
Noskcajtip: You can autocomplete a name in irc by pressing TAB20:09
aeorilNoskcaj yes, I know - that was a finger gone haywire :)20:10

aeorilA while ago I was active on Ubuntu - but it has been some years, and I did not do much - https://launchpad.net/~sanbar20:11
aeorilI am pondering what to do with my free time and am thinking about re-engaging with Ubuntu20:12
Noskcajawesome. A good place to start is http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ , which has a number of pages for things you can do for the motu team20:15
aeorilNoskcaj ok, cool - thanks!20:17
Noskcajxnox, Mind if i merge handbrake?20:52
NoskcajI've run out of merges i can do that i have been allowed to20:53
NoskcajAnd lives is probably syncable20:56
xnoxNoskcaj: go ahead.21:00
=== lderan_ is now known as lderan
NoskcajAnyone have merges i can take? (All the current "please take"s need programming languages i don't know)23:21
jtaylorNoskcaj: if you are really bored you can have a look why skimage autopkgtests fail23:25
jtaylorI can't reproduce the issue locally23:25
Noskcajjtaylor, I'll have a look, but autopkgtest isn't something i'm remotely good at23:29
Noskcajhow do i see the failure?23:32
