[07:54] <dholbach> good morning
[18:39] <sney> hello, I'm the maintainer of the hexchat debian package which was manually synced to trusty a few weeks ago, and now I have an ubuntu-specific bug to address. when I have a patch, how do I go about getting it included?
[18:40] <jtaylor> sney: there are two ways
[18:40] <jtaylor> file a bug, attach a debdiff and subscribe ubuntu-sponsors
[18:40] <jtaylor> or if you are familiar with bzr you can branch the package add the fix and file a merge request
[18:41] <jtaylor> bzr branch lp:ubuntu/trusty/hexchat
[18:41] <sney> ok, the latter seems fairly straightforward. thanks.
[18:43] <jtaylor> I guess its bug 1294415
[18:44] <sney> yeah. wishlist severity, but I was going to take a look anyway
[18:44] <jtaylor> the font thing should be solvable without deviating from debian
[18:44] <jtaylor> you can also use distro specific patches with source format 3
[18:45] <sney> hexchat can pop up a dialog on connect that suggests a channel to join, so I'm going to put #ubuntu in there (it currently suggests #hexchat)
[18:45] <jtaylor> see e.g. smuxi for a similar package
[18:45] <jtaylor> it has a ubuntu.series which applies a patch that sets the ubuntu stuff
[18:46] <jtaylor> that is preferable to a ubuntu only patch as it allows automatic syncs outside of freezes
[18:46] <sney> aha, ok. I'll look at smuxi for an example

[21:16] <Logan_> hi Unit :)
