Ionichmm... I don't understand from what branch a package is coming from14:03
Ionicif I take a look at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/reprepro, I see a precise package from 2014-05-20 with version 4.8.2-1ubuntu0.114:07
Ionichowever, switching to the "code" tab and examining the lp:ubuntu/precise/reprepro branch on https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/reprepro/precise I can only see the latest change being a rebuild on 2012-03-1614:08
Ionicso that seems to be the wrong branch to clone, but what is the correct one?14:09
cjwatsonthere may well not be one.  use pull-lp-source14:12
cjwatsonthe automatic importer thing is falling apart and due a replacement14:13
Ionicurgh, okay...14:13
Ioniclet's see what pull-lp-source actually is14:13
cjwatsonwe plan to replace it with a thing based on git but still have more pieces to write14:13
cjwatsonpull-lp-source just downloads the source package, but has suite lookup and such so that you don't have to work out versions manually and so that it doesn't necessarily have to correspond with what's in your apt cache14:14
Ionicah, that's a program14:15
Ionicthat probably downloaded the dpkg source... well, whatever, seems there is no corresponding bazaar branch14:22
cjwatsonright, either synthesise it yourself or make do without, I'm afraid14:26
cjwatsonthe git import should be more reliable once we have that going, as it's fundamentally harder to get it into a state where it doesn't want to proceed (but we don't have it scheduled yet - it'll be months rather than weeks)14:28
IonicI can synthesize it myself14:30
Ionicit's just some metadata changes and a quilt patch14:30
Ionicdo you plan to switch from bzr to git?14:50
cjwatsonIonic: as I said above, that's the plan for the package imports, yes15:22
Ionicbut not for general development?15:32
cjwatsonIonic: likely that too, but organically over time rather than a big flag day15:32
cjwatsonIonic: various bits and pieces have already switched15:33
cjwatsonIonic: it won't be an "as of June everyone must switch away from bzr" kind of thing; I wouldn't ever expect that15:34
Ionichuh, okay, just asking because I personally prefer git and always have a hard time mapping git concepts back to bzr whenever I use launchpad15:35
cjwatsonIonic: well, whenever you use bzr on Launchpad as opposed to git on Launchpad, you mean :-)15:36
cjwatsonIonic: I prefer git nowadays for my own projects too15:36
IonicI didn't even *know* I can use git on launchpad15:36
Ionicalthough I do use git-imports, so... yeah, would make sense that these stay git archives and are not implicitly converted to bzr archive...15:37
cjwatsonIonic: we added git support to LP last year15:37
cjwatsonIonic: git-to-git imports are on the list, hopefully this year15:37
Ionicgreat to know, thanks!15:38
cjwatsongit recipes will be available to beta testers next week15:38
cjwatsonso we're gradually ticking things off15:38
IonicI welcome the change :)15:39

lfaraonecyphermox: to fix #1273201, you removed bridge_ignore_without_connections.patch from n-m. is it now expected that e.g. lxcbr0 shows up in NetworkManager now?19:14

robert_ancellximion, Do you have any plans to split the gnome-software package into subpackages for plugins? Asking mostly because it seems a waste of time to put limba into main21:32
ximionrobert_ancell: I currently want to explicitly avoid doing that, since it will result in some people having fwupd support, some have Limba support and some have xdg-app support or any combination of these...21:33
ximionthose different featuresets would result in making it pretty hard to rely on stuff21:34
robert_ancellximion, yeah, it wasn't clear to me how you'd divide them up either.21:34
ximionrobert_ancell: I thought about this a bit, since I saw that issue coming, and decided that I would like to avoid splitting out plugins - GS not knowing about modules can be a prblem on it's own21:36
ximion(GS makes the components, Limba, fwupd and soon xdg-app visible, if it starts without them users will wonder why GS is not showing the app they just installed, until they notice that gnome-software-plugin-xdg-app is missing)21:37
ximionalso, which plugins should be split out is another complicated question21:37
ximionrobert_ancell: btw, you might want to put appstream in main too ;-)21:38
robert_ancellximion, yep, will do that21:38
ximionfor that thing I also though about creating some smaller binary to provide the minimal functionality needed, but decided against that since that would have resulted in lots of C code duplication, slow Python code or other dumb reimplementations of existing stuff, and I really wanted this bit to be fast (every apt update runs it)21:39
ximionrobert_ancell: will you be at FOSDEM as well?21:39
robert_ancellximion, not at FOSDEM21:40
ximionhmm, would've been cool to meet you there21:40
robert_ancellyeah, I don't do FOSDEM because too far for a short trip21:41
ximionbtw, having Limba in main would of course be awesome, and in case you consider it I would be happy to help (you don't need to install it by default, of course ^^) - otherwise it would be cool to have the plugin in unstable, at least21:42
ximionwe will have an Ubuntu-centric AppStream meeting after FOSDEM21:42
robert_ancellNice!21:42
ximionso I thought you might join that :P21:42
robert_ancellI'll do the MIR for limba, just wondering if we'll get any pushback from security etc.21:43
ximionbtw, thanks for the ratings&reviews work! I already love it for finally putting the star-ratings to good use, I never liked the way hughsie comouted them21:43
ximionalso, it would be nice to maybe make the protocol for ratings & reviws part of the AppStream specification, if people can set up the server by themselves and if it is not too Ubuntu-specific21:44
robert_ancellximion, I don't know much about the details of appstream but we should certianly make it work for other distros.21:45
robert_ancellThe server code is open and should in theory be runnable by other distros (and it can also have reviews from different sources in the same server).21:45
ximionrobert_ancell: Limba has a suid binary, but that one got a code review last year in January (it changed a lot though in the past year, but the stuff it does before dropping privileges is still rigurously checked)21:46
dobeyhow is g-s getting the u1 token now?21:46
ximionwhen I have some more time, I would like to make it available in AppStream - putting it in there would essentially mean that any distribution is encouraged to implement it21:46
ximionrobert_ancell: speaking of Limba and xdg-app, any plans for a Snappy backend in GS?21:47
ximionRichard, Alexander and I put quite some work into GS and the AppStream spec to make these bundling tools integrate well ;-)21:47
robert_ancelldobey, attente updated it to use the sso service21:48
robert_ancellximion, I'm playing around with Snappy21:49
dobeyrobert_ancell: a token from sso is required to submit reviews. i'm just curious about the client side and how it works21:49
robert_ancelldobey, you can see it on the wip/rancell/reviews-3-18 branch on GNOME Software21:50
robert_ancelldobey, reviews welcome :)21:50
dobeyrobert_ancell: i take it that is something in a git somewhere?21:51
robert_ancelldobey, GNOME Git21:51
dobeybecuase... https://launchpad.net/~rancell is not you21:51
robert_ancellyeah, I'm robert-ancell on Launchpad21:52
ximionrobert_ancell: nice! I still need to work with it - conceptually it seems to be similar to Limba, but without resource-sharing but with the ability to build whole OSes from Snappy packages21:52
dobeyrobert_ancell: why the complicated dbus bits?21:54
robert_ancelldobey, which bits?21:54
dobeyrobert_ancell: for sso21:54
ximionbtw, you likely want this bug fixed for Xenial: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=808993 - since it requires a few bigger changes in asglib, I poke hughsie from time to time to fix it or allow me to change it :P21:54
ubottuDebian bug 808993 in appstream-glib "gnome-software: Screenshots not loading" [Normal,Open]21:54
dobeyrobert_ancell: or is it still just using ubuntu-sso-client for the actual login stuff?21:55
robert_ancelldobey, just for getting the token21:55
dobeyrobert_ancell: ah. is that a temporary thing? i understood the plan was to also replace ubuntu-sso-client21:56
robert_ancelldobey, not sure, attente got that bit working21:56
dobeyok21:56
dobeywell i hope it's temporary :)21:56
robert_ancelldobey, so what is the correct way to get a token now?21:58
dobeyrobert_ancell: my understanding from UOS was that someone was going to write something to replace u-sso-client, using the newer REST API, for the gnome-software integration; ubuntu-sso-client isn't "incorrect" as it were, but it is using the older API, which I think the ols team would like to drop at some point (but not sure how feasible that is at this point anyway), and it is python 2.x code.22:01
ximionrobert_ancell: if you need any information/help on AppStream, Limba and/or xdg-app or plugin stuff, let me know :)23:04
robert_ancellximion, will do, thanks!23:04
ximion(for gnome-software itself, hughsie is the ultimate authority)23:04
