NoskcajHow do i upload stuff directly? I got upload rights for parole a few days ago, but wasn't told how i use them02:36
psusiNoskcaj, dput02:36
NoskcajDo i need to target anywhere specific or will it just work?02:37
infinityNoskcaj: debsign foo.changes && dput ubuntu foo.changes02:37
Noskcajok, ty02:37
infinityNoskcaj: On ubuntu, the default target should already be "ubuntu", but it never hurts to be specific either.02:37
ScottKAlthough I generally change the default to something non-working so I don't upload to ubuntu when I mean a PPA.05:22

rbanffyHi folks. I would like to add a 1920x1080 display mode for undetected (as in "the f* switch blocks EDID") monitors to the gnome-control-panel "display" panel. From what I got from the source, the resolutions look like they are coming from a deeper component. Would anyone suggest the right place to add this?15:45
infinityyofel: Multiple dashes in Debian versions are generally not a good idea.18:57
yofelinfinity: upstream version is "2.8.1-1", what should I change that to?18:58
yofelit's technically permitted, so I kept it...18:58
infinityyofel: I would have just gone with 2.8.1.1 or something, but meh.18:59
infinityyofel: You're right, there's nothing technically wrong with your version, but there are a lot of bad version string parsers out there. ;)18:59
yofelyeah, sadly ^^19:00
yofelI can re-upload if you want?19:00
infinityyofel: That would probably make my inner pedant happy.19:00
yofelok, let's do that then :D19:00
infinityyofel: Actually, nevermind.  If that's really the upstream version, we'll call it good.19:01
infinity(Weird way to version though, thanks upstream)19:02
yofelit's thanks to them missing corruption before release, so we get 2.8.1 again, as... 2.8.1-1 -.-19:02
infinityYeah.  Just a strange way to re-version. ;)19:03
infinityThe upstream I work most closely with (glibc) has had to re-roll before, and our method was 2.15 -> 2.15.019:03
infinity(And I guess if screwed up twice, we'd go with 2.15.0.0?)19:04
infinity(Or give up, because we're in the wrong business)19:04
infinityyofel: Anyhow, after thinking it over a bit, I accepted the upload.  Don't bother redoing it.19:05
infinityyofel: was just a knee-jerk reaction to the ugly version. :P19:05
yofelmost of the time at kde we either have enough time to catch any issues, or they just wait until the next version. Most of the time...19:05
yofelyeah, I can understand that ^^19:06
infinityLaney: Was your cinnamon upload meant to address bug #1266336?20:07
ubottubug 1266336 in cinnamon (Ubuntu) "Cinnamon desktop hangs when selecting menu" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/126633620:07
fhassanAny chance of moving Trusy release to April 8? (end-date of Windows XP support)20:39
infinityfhassan: No.20:39
infinityfhassan: Releasing 9 days after that isn't exactly world-ending, it's not like XP users are all going to magically switch OSes on that day.  It's also not like MS releases security updates every day. :P20:41
cjwatsonXP users are by definition not the sort of people who jump at new OS releases ...20:43
infinityIndeed.20:44
infinityAll the XP users who actually like new OS releases are probably on 7 or 8 by now (or, indeed, jumped ship for Linux or MacOS years ago)20:44
Laneyinfinity: nope, it was an FTBFS fix20:47
infinityLaney: Ahh, kay.  Then I'll keep that blocking bug blocking it, then. :P20:50
infinity(Someone in Debian really needs to pick that stuff up again... Or remove it)20:50
cody-somervilleSo, with Quantal coming to EOL sometime in April, is the supported upgrade path through the already EOL Raring or directly to Saucy?21:01
