[06:54] <work_alkisg> Hi, a packaging question please? Packages A, B, and C are not installed on a system, and they all Provide: P.
[06:54] <work_alkisg> Each of them Depends: on a different package, e.g. a, b, c. Packages a and b are not installed on that system, but package c is.
[06:54] <work_alkisg> If I try to install package X, which Depends: P, will apt be smart enough to select the C package that doesn't require additional packages (a or b) to be installed?
[07:25] <Zhenech> alkisg, i think not.
[07:29] <alkisg> Thank you Zhenech
[07:55] <dholbach> good morning
[08:40] <iulian> Good morning dholbach.
[08:41] <dholbach> hi iulian
[08:42] <fr33r1d3> Q: Best place to start contributing to Ubuntu. Is it Ubuntu Touch?
[09:37] <s1aden> fr33r1d3: perhaps there is an programme/application you use, that you have a niggle with and thing could be improved
[09:38] <s1aden> fr33r1d3: having a goal makes knowing where to start much easier, as you can research and work towards adding the feature/bug that you want to see
[13:32] <micahg> dholbach: no, this new team won't have voting rights, yes, I'll get an icon up there, right now, all uploaders are still in ubuntu-dev anyways
[13:32] <dholbach> thanks
[18:56] <TheLordOfTime> I can request merges of packages to Trusty from Debian up to when?  Feature Freeze?
[18:58] <cjwatson> yes.  after that it's still possible but will require a consideration of whether there are feature changes; if there are then it would need an exception granted by the release team
[18:58] <cjwatson> but up to FF with no paperwork
[18:59] <TheLordOfTime> that's what i thought
[19:00] <michagogo|cloud> What would need to be done to propose an SRU that essentially removes Bitcoin from the repos for (precise..saucy)?
[19:01] <michagogo|cloud> If I understand correctly, while actually removing it is not possible, it would be possible to have an "update" that removes its functionality.
[19:53] <michagogo|cloud> !sru
[22:14] <TheLordOfTime> In general, if I find a patch to fix an FTBFS of something that's in universe that's in the CURRENTDEVRELEASE-proposed repository, how do I get the patch into the system?  Open a bug, attach the patch/debdiff, and poke sponsors?  Or is it a different method?
[22:14] <TheLordOfTime> (where CURRENTDEVRELEASE is ubuntu+1 prior to freezes and such)
[22:14] <TheLordOfTime> (i.e. trusty for now)
[22:14] <Laney> that is right, where 'poke' is 'subscribe'
[23:39] <TheLordOfTime> Laney: i hate it when packages break because GTK 3.10+ causes code to fail and features in the code to be deprecated (case in point, source: wireshark)
[23:39] <TheLordOfTime> (this is a tricky FTBFS that i'm trying to get to build, but meh.)
[23:40] <TheLordOfTime> (in case yo uwere curious why i'm asking)
