[02:33] <vincent_c> Noskcaj: since you aren't in #debian-python right now...just pinging you about https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=744820#51
[02:33] <vincent_c> needless to say this is starting to get really frustrating for me as a sponsor :(
[02:34] <vincent_c> should I start assuming that you don't usually test your packages before asking for an upload?
[12:43] <Chipaca> hi all
[12:44] <Chipaca> I've got a patch to a package I'd like landed in ubuntu. It's golang-go-dbus-dev, a package we get via debian. Sergio, the person that got it into debian, is away on holiday, and will push the diff into debian when he returns. Until then I'd like to get unblocked, land these changes.
[12:44] <Chipaca> is this the right place to ask for somebody's help?
[12:45] <Chipaca> the diff in question is http://people.canonical.com/~john/golang-go-dbus_bzr20140217-1ubuntu1.diff
[12:54] <rbasak> Chipaca: looking
[12:54] <Chipaca> rbasak: thanks
[12:57] <rbasak> Chipaca: are the patches committed upstream?
[12:58] <Chipaca> rbasak: yes
[12:58] <Chipaca> there are the last to commits upstream
[12:58] <Chipaca> *these
[12:59] <Chipaca> rbasak: bzr log -l3 lp:go-dbus/v1
[12:59] <Chipaca> the patches are r126 and r127; r125 is what's packaged
[13:00] <rbasak> OK
[13:00] <rbasak> Please could you mark up the patches with dep-3, with pointers to the upstream commits etc?
[13:00] <rbasak> http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/
[13:00] <rbasak> I understand that you believe it should be temporary, but I'd prefer to see it done properly in case it ends up being there longer.
[13:02] <rbasak> Then it's clear to any future developer that they're upstream cherry-picks and will disappear soon.
[13:02]  * Chipaca looks
[13:05] <xnox> Chipaca: rbasak: you can ask to get it sponsored into debain.
[13:05] <Chipaca> rbasak: re dep3, is the author of the patch the author of the upstream delta, or the author of the patch itself?
[13:05] <xnox> e.g. I can NMU it into debian & sync into ubuntu, thus not adding extra work to sergiusens when he returns.
[13:05] <rbasak> xnox: AIUI, the maintainer is a Canonical employee and will do it next week. So I didn't think it was worth the overhead to make any formal request eg. bug.
[13:05] <Chipaca> week after next, actually
[13:06] <Chipaca> next week i could wait for :)
[13:06] <rbasak> xnox: oh if you could do that then that would be great
[13:06] <xnox> rbasak: =)
[13:06] <Chipaca> (two weeks holidays! such luxury)
[13:06] <xnox> Chipaca: well and 2 weeks of sprinting before that.
[13:06] <Chipaca> xnox: oooh! NMU away, then :)
[13:06] <xnox> Chipaca: let's read what you wrote there first.
[13:07] <rbasak> xnox: I think you can just do a new upstream "release" (ie. bzr snapshot, which was there before)
[13:07] <xnox> Chipaca: do you simply want new upstream release?
[13:07] <Chipaca> xnox: yep
[13:07] <Chipaca> this does mean i won't be able to then ask you to endorse my PPU thing :-/ but it is certainly the better way :)
[13:08] <xnox> Chipaca: hm. I thought sergiusens was maintaining it. But in Debian maintainer is set to Tianon Gravi
[13:08] <rbasak> Chipaca: put it in your future PPU application anyway
[13:08] <Chipaca> xnox: you might be looking at golang-dbus
[13:08] <Chipaca> xnox: != golang-go-dbus
[13:08] <Chipaca> yes, I don't know why they're both in the archive either
[13:08] <xnox> better
[13:08] <Chipaca> golang-dbus wasn't there when we packaged golang-go-dbus, fwiw
[13:09] <Chipaca> (golang-dbus is from github, in one of the abandoned predecessors of the launchpad go-dbus)
[13:10] <rbasak> I'll leave this to xnox then I guess?
[13:10] <xnox> Chipaca: rbasak: hm, i'm not in pkg-go team, thus won't be able to update VCS.
[13:10] <xnox> jamespage: would you mind doing new upstream release of golang-go-dbus into debian, from bzr snapshot?
[13:11] <xnox> debian vcs is git/pkg-go, maintainer sergiusens who is enjoying beaches, sun and etc at the moment
[13:11] <jamespage> xnox, ok
[13:12] <Chipaca> rbasak: xnox: jamespage: thanks!
[13:17] <jamespage> Chipaca, xnox: who has a snapshot for me then?
[13:18] <Chipaca> jamespage: xnox: I don't know exactly what a snapshot is in this context, but I can provide it if you tell me (or point me at something that tells me)
[13:18] <Chipaca> jamespage: the thing to be packaged is what's currently on lp:go-dbus/v1
[13:18] <Chipaca> maybe that's what you need?
[13:19] <xnox> jamespage: $ bzr export --per-file-timestamps golang-go-dbus_1~20140606.tar.gz lp:go-dbus
[13:19] <xnox> jamespage: that should generate identical tarball on any machine, no?
[13:19] <Chipaca> lp:go-dbus/v1
[13:20] <Chipaca> is the "released" or stable one
[13:20] <xnox> right.
[13:20] <xnox> and last commit was on 2014-05-30
[13:21] <xnox> 82929f4ef3f20657089efdd2c472afb9  golang-go-dbus_1~20140530.tar.gz
[13:21] <xnox> $ bzr export --per-file-timestamps golang-go-dbus_1~20140530.tar.gz lp:go-dbus/v1
[13:21] <xnox> jamespage: ^ do you get the same md5sum?
[13:22] <Chipaca> 82929f4ef3f20657089efdd2c472afb9
[13:23] <jamespage> hmm
[13:23] <jamespage> no
[13:24] <xnox> hmm everyone should. Unless there is a bug in python2.7 again.
[13:24] <xnox> --per-file-timestamps does generate reproducible tarballs.
[13:24] <jamespage> xnox, nope - I do get the same being dumb
[13:37] <jamespage> Chipaca, xnox: uploaded to unstable - it will take LP some time to notice
[13:37] <Chipaca> jamespage: thanks!
[13:38] <Chipaca> jamespage: where in launchpad would this be?
[13:38] <jamespage> ubuntu
[13:39] <jamespage> Chipaca, it will autosync
[13:39] <Chipaca> jamespage: ok :)
[13:39] <Chipaca> was looking at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-go-dbus and suspecting something was missing, but I'll trust you on that :)
[13:43] <xnox> Chipaca: it will first appear on http://packages.qa.debian.org/golang-go-dbus then after some time on https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/golang-go-dbus and then eventually on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-go-dbus
[13:44] <Chipaca> xnox: perfect
[13:44] <Chipaca> xnox: what's the timeframe?
[13:44] <Chipaca> hours? days?
[13:44] <rbasak> Debian's publisher runs are pretty slow. IIRC, it's a matter of a day or two.
[13:45] <xnox> Chipaca: next debian dinstall is at 1952 UTC, after that it will publish (another half an hour), then launchpad syncs and builds it.
[13:45] <xnox> Chipaca: i'd expect it by mid-night UTC, or tomorrow morning.
[13:46] <Chipaca> excellent
[13:46] <xnox> unless we make the 13:52 dinstall, then it will be snappy
[13:46] <Chipaca> even better than excellent :)
[13:47] <Chipaca> anyway, school run. Thank you all!
[15:02] <Chipaca> xnox: looks like we didn't make the 13:52
[22:14] <Chipaca> xnox: jamespage: golang-go-dbus-dev 1~bzr20140530-1 in ubuntu \o/ thanks yet again!
