amigamagichi, is this the right channel to report a package with a bug fixed in svn but not updated yet in ubuntu repositories?21:11
amigamagicplease, could someone triage this bug: http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13596 ?21:26
ubot5bugzilla.abisource.com bug 13596 in Editing - Key/Click Bindings "Shift-control text selection no longer works" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]21:26
tewardamigamagic: is there an ubuntu bug for it21:26
tewardrather than an upstream bug21:27
teward(and by "upstream" we mean at the bug tracker of the actual program/project)21:27
amigamagicteward, "is there an ubuntu bug for it" was a question?21:28
tewardcorrect21:28
tewardif the answer is no then there's nothing for us to triage21:28
amigamagicok, now I understand what you mean21:29
tewardamigamagic: for us to "triage" a bug, the bug must: (a) exist and be filed against launchpad. (b) be confirmed either by the triager or multiple other people.  (c) be ready for a developer in Ubuntu (for packages in Main), or be ready for the community (in Universe) to work on it.21:29
tewardreally (a) and (c) are the most critical21:30
tewardb is interesting, because I get bugs on my radar which aren't marked 'confirmed' but i eventually test and confirm it exists21:30
tewardgiven that someone's stated steps to reproduce the bug21:30
teward(aka a 'test case')21:30
amigamagicit's a very annoying (to me, at least) bug for the program abiword, and it has been fixed from february on the upstream. The steps to reproduce it are very simple: the CTRL-SHIFT-CURSOR_KEY to select text doesn't work anymore in the current version in ubuntu repositories. It worked in previous versions.21:33
tewardamigamagic: you'll have to follow the Stable Release Update procedures that rbasak linked you21:34
amigamagicif you want, I could create the bug report on launchpad21:34
tewardbut without a bug filed on this on Launchpad, there's nothing to apply to the SRU21:34
tewardyes, you should do that, if you want an SRU to fix these kinds of things21:34
tewardamigamagic: which version of Ubuntu is affected by this21:34
amigamagic14.0421:35
teward!info abiword trusty21:35
tewardboo21:35
ubot5abiword (source: abiword): efficient, featureful word processor with collaboration. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.0-4ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 1098 kB, installed size 4269 kB21:35
tewardlaggy you are21:35
amigamagicexactly that21:35
tewardoooo it's in universe21:35
tewardyou can file a bug report but ultimately it's up to the community to prepare debdiffs/patches for it21:36
teward(meaning that even if the bug is "triaged" it'll be "fixed soon (tm)"21:36
tewardbut there's no timeline for fixing, really)21:36
amigamagicbut the bug is already fixed from more than 2 months in the svn of the original package mantainer21:37
amigamagicand there is a patch fix in that bug report too21:37
tewardbut where is the original package maintainer, in Debian?21:37
tewardmainly the point stands that in Ubuntu someone in the community has to do the bug triage, and create the debdiff and such, and while I could, i'm in the middle of working on nginx21:37
teward(it'd still need sponsored to get uploaded to the repos though)21:38
tewardnote to self: 50 Ubuntu VMs is confusing, keep only a few.21:38
* teward grumbles21:38
brainwashI can prepare the branch (already did for 3.0.0-4ubuntu1)21:38
brainwashwe had to include patches from stable to fix 2 major issues21:39
tewardless work for me ^.^21:39
* teward goes back to stabbing nginx's build rules21:39
amigamagichi brainwash21:40
brainwashhey amigamagic21:40
brainwashbut it's "only" abiword after all, not many people care about it anymore21:40
brainwashespecially since ubuntu always ships a somewhat broken version of it :)21:40
amigamagicyes brainwash I know. I think I should uninstall it after all.21:41
amigamagicBeing that I was on a virtual machine, I wanted to waste less space for a word processing program.21:41
brainwashbut we can fix this issue, just need the launchpad report to get started21:41
amigamagicok I will file that21:42
tewardbrainwash: if you don't have bugcontrol i can mark it triaged, so long as there's enough details for it to be worked on by someone :)21:42
tewardotherwise enjoy21:42
brainwashfor 14.10 I expect that a new stable release will be ready21:42
brainwashno bugcontrol yet, despite having over 3500 karma from bug report activities :D21:43
tewardlol21:43
tewardyou'd have to apply for bugcontrol status21:43
brainwashI know21:44
tewardi have bugcontrol status, i'll set it triaged for ya :)21:44
tewardi have to go stab a few other bugs anyways21:44
amigamagicis this the page where I should file the report? https://launchpad.net/abiword21:44
brainwashbut I usually bother other people to triage reports or change the status21:44
tewardamigamagic: if you have a 14.04 box it's easier to do `ubuntu-bug abiword`21:44
tewardfrom the command line or the dash21:44
brainwashwhich is rarely the case21:44
tewardrather than file it manually by hand21:44
tewardbrainwash: yeah, for 'nginx' it's usually "Check with teward, he is usually watching"21:45
tewardbut before that i just bothered here :)21:45
amigamagicteward, I'm on a xubuntu vm... it's the same thing?21:45
tewardamigamagic: yeah, as long as it's xubuntu 14.0421:45
amigamagicyes21:45
amigamagichttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/131594921:56
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1315949 in abiword (Ubuntu) "SHIFT-CTRL-CURSOR_KEY combos don't work anymore to select text" [Undecided,New]21:56
tewardthat patch needs DEP3 tags22:00
* teward downloads and modifies accordingly22:00
tewardFYI the patch doesn't apply cleanly22:02
tewardit may need tweaked22:02
amigamagicI will check if it's applied in that way in the svn main commit22:11
tewardit's probably got something to do with quilt22:12
tewardbut i'm pretty sure brainwash is familiar with these things22:12
amigamagicabiword devs have applied that patch to their stable branch: http://svn.abisource.com/abiword/branches/ABI-3-0-0-STABLE/src/af/ev/gtk/ev_UnixKeyboard.cpp22:18
tewardamigamagic: i meant that the patch itself doesn't cleanly apply to Quilt22:19
tewards/to Quilt/via Quilt/22:19
tewardwhich is the tool for debian package patch management22:19
tewardi can manually create the patch if i have to and then still quote Origin22:19
tewardbut meh22:19
* teward has other things to do22:20
amigamagicah sorry, I don't know that tool22:20
tewardno probledm22:23
* teward is bored and is already making the patch :P22:23
amigamagicteward, thanks :)22:25
amigamagicwhat's a cherry-pick ?23:25
jtaylorselecting a patch from a branch to apply to an older version23:27
jtaylortypically backporting bugfixes from newer versions/development version to older versions23:27
teward^23:33
tewardjtaylor: -4ubuntu1 becomes what with a typical sru, -4ubuntu2 or -4ubuntu1.1 ?23:33
tewardthe security team version document says .123:33
jtaylor1.123:33
tewardokay, that's what i thought23:33
jtaylorit depends on the versions in newer releases23:33
tewardI've screwed that up twice before though23:33
tewardjtaylor: what about abiword23:34
jtaylorit can also be 1.12.04.123:34
tewardwhich is what i'm asking about (because amigamagic's bug)23:34
jtaylorfor precise23:34
tewardit's -4ubuntu1 in Trusty23:34
jtaylor-4ubuntu1.1 is ok there23:34
jtaylora more qualified version would be required if utopic were released already23:35
tewardbut it's not :)23:35
jtayloras trusty and utopic have the same version23:35
jtayloras utopic is devel its next ersion will be ubuntu2 so 1.1 is ok23:35
tewardright23:38
tewardor it may have an even higher version if it's updated in Debian before release, right, jtaylor?23:39
tewardamigamagic: also, unrelated FYI to what jtaylor and I are discussing, debdiff uploaded for consideration.  :P  (bzr still doesn't want to work right for me)23:39
jtayloryes debian always updates the first number23:40
jtaylor-2 in this case23:40
tewardbrainwash: in the off chance you're still around, there's a debdiff attached to that bug23:41
* teward yawns23:41
tewardi gotta stop stabbing nginx source code, it's giving me a headache23:42
amigamagicthanks for the info guys... What's a debdiff?23:45
amigamagica diff to apply to a deb package?23:45
tewardamigamagic: it's basically a diff for a deb package23:45
tewardamigamagic: FYI, you need to fill out the SRU template.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template23:45
tewardand put it in the description23:46
tewardwell, someone does23:46
* teward won't :P23:46
amigamagicyou mean on the description of the bug on launchpad?23:47
tewardcorrect23:48
tewardimpact of the bug, a test case for reproduction, potential of regression, and other info23:49
amigamagicok I will try...23:49
tewardif you're unsure of the regression potential we can poke around and guesstimate, but judging as this is an upstream patch, it's probably got very low regression potential23:49
tewards/judging as/judging on the fact that/23:50
amigamagicI agree23:50
teward(note: it's not normal for me to venture outside of the nginx package when it comes to debdiffs.  But i was bored :P)23:52
tewardjtaylor: what's the consideration for -4ubuntu1.1 vs. -4ubuntu2 or something?  whether the version bump, even a small one, will conflict with $nextrelease ?23:53
teward(where $nextrelease is whatever the next subsequent release is in the series of Ubuntu releases)23:53
jtayloryou always need an upgrade path to the next release23:55
jtaylorso the version in the next release must be higher23:55
