[02:36] <Noskcaj> How do i upload stuff directly? I got upload rights for parole a few days ago, but wasn't told how i use them
[02:36] <psusi> Noskcaj, dput
[02:37] <Noskcaj> Do i need to target anywhere specific or will it just work?
[02:37] <infinity> Noskcaj: debsign foo.changes && dput ubuntu foo.changes
[02:37] <Noskcaj> ok, ty
[02:37] <infinity> Noskcaj: On ubuntu, the default target should already be "ubuntu", but it never hurts to be specific either.
[05:22] <ScottK> Although I generally change the default to something non-working so I don't upload to ubuntu when I mean a PPA.
[15:45] <rbanffy> Hi 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?
[18:57] <infinity> yofel: Multiple dashes in Debian versions are generally not a good idea.
[18:58] <yofel> infinity: upstream version is "2.8.1-1", what should I change that to?
[18:58] <yofel> it's technically permitted, so I kept it...
[18:59] <infinity> yofel: I would have just gone with 2.8.1.1 or something, but meh.
[18:59] <infinity> yofel: You're right, there's nothing technically wrong with your version, but there are a lot of bad version string parsers out there. ;)
[19:00] <yofel> yeah, sadly ^^
[19:00] <yofel> I can re-upload if you want?
[19:00] <infinity> yofel: That would probably make my inner pedant happy.
[19:00] <yofel> ok, let's do that then :D
[19:01] <infinity> yofel: Actually, nevermind.  If that's really the upstream version, we'll call it good.
[19:02] <infinity> (Weird way to version though, thanks upstream)
[19:02] <yofel> it's thanks to them missing corruption before release, so we get 2.8.1 again, as... 2.8.1-1 -.-
[19:03] <infinity> Yeah.  Just a strange way to re-version. ;)
[19:03] <infinity> The upstream I work most closely with (glibc) has had to re-roll before, and our method was 2.15 -> 2.15.0
[19:04] <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)
[19:05] <infinity> yofel: Anyhow, after thinking it over a bit, I accepted the upload.  Don't bother redoing it.
[19:05] <infinity> yofel: was just a knee-jerk reaction to the ugly version. :P
[19:05] <yofel> most 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...
[19:06] <yofel> yeah, I can understand that ^^
[20:07] <infinity> Laney: Was your cinnamon upload meant to address bug #1266336?
[20:39] <fhassan> Any chance of moving Trusy release to April 8? (end-date of Windows XP support)
[20:39] <infinity> fhassan: No.
[20:41] <infinity> fhassan: 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. :P
[20:43] <cjwatson> XP users are by definition not the sort of people who jump at new OS releases ...
[20:44] <infinity> Indeed.
[20:44] <infinity> All 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)
[20:47] <Laney> infinity: nope, it was an FTBFS fix
[20:50] <infinity> Laney: Ahh, kay.  Then I'll keep that blocking bug blocking it, then. :P
[20:50] <infinity> (Someone in Debian really needs to pick that stuff up again... Or remove it)
[21:01] <cody-somerville> So, with Quantal coming to EOL sometime in April, is the supported upgrade path through the already EOL Raring or directly to Saucy?
