[08:13] <dholbach> good morning
[10:14] <Tm_T> hello
[10:15] <Tm_T> I'm having a problem with one of the applications that are residing in universe
[10:15] <Tm_T> anyone available to help with debugging and narrowing down the cause?
[10:15] <Tm_T> Core was generated by `fwbuilder -d'.

[13:00] <Unit193> Tm_T: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=768816 doesn't give a backtrace, but does that happen to look about the same?  It's the same version from trusty-vivid, so I tried it here on vivid with no such luck in getting the crash.
[14:17] <erwan____> Hi. I'd like to add a new package to Ubuntu, but it's not open source so I just have binaries to provide. Is it possible?
[14:21] <rbasak> erwan____: it may be permitted in multiverse or Debian non-free depending on the exact licensing terms. But non-free software is generally frowned upon. What is it?
[14:25] <erwan____> rbasak: it is a software from IBM that I'm working on, it'll enable some DLPAR features when running on powerVM
[14:26] <erwan____> rbasak: it is a part of the work related to the ppc64el architecture
[14:26] <rbasak> erwan____: do you work for IBM? There's also the Canonical partner repository. Users can enable it to get software that is non-free but that Canonical ship as a service to Ubuntu users.
[14:26] <rbasak> erwan____: an example is Skype.
[14:27] <erwan____> rbasak: I do. This Canonical partner repository sounds good.
[14:28] <Zhenech> erwan____, is ubuntu already available on ppc64el?
[14:28] <rbasak> Zhenech: yes :)
[14:29] <rbasak> At least we've been building for ppc64el for a number of releases now.
[14:30] <rbasak> erwan____: stuff generally gets into the Canonical partner repository through a partner engagement. So this should probably be taken up with the relevant project managers. Do you know who you need to speak to at your end?
[14:33] <erwan____> rbasak: I don't know
[14:33] <erwan____> rbasak: I'll ask my team leader, he may has a better knowledge than me about this
[14:34] <rbasak> erwan____: OK. Let me know if you have trouble making the connection.
[14:35] <erwan____> rbasak: ok. Thanks.
[14:54] <erwan____> rbasak: in the meantime, I wonder how it works with non-free packages, what kind of files are provided to Ubuntu since it can't be source code?
[14:55] <rbasak> erwan____: AIUI, the binaries are put into the "source package", and the "build" just moves them around as needed.
[14:56] <rbasak> So we still upload a source package to the archive, but it's not really source.
