[17:42] <stokachu> fabrice: i was wondering what still needed to be done for https://github.com/juju/theblues/pull/8 to finalize?
[17:42] <stokachu> i have my own debian package repo for theblues as well
[17:42] <rick_h__> jrwren: ^
[17:43] <stokachu> also is this package blocked on anything for making it into the official archives?
[17:44] <jrwren> stokachu: I don't know. going to official was never a goal. It may not pass deblint
[17:46] <jrwren> stokachu: ah, it depends on libmacaroons which is not in official archives, so there is a dep chain up which would need to become official.
[17:46] <stokachu> ok, is there any word on if libmacaroons will be in the official archives for xenial?
[17:48] <jrwren> stokachu: I know of no effort. Maybe best to ask in #ubuntu-devel
[17:49] <jrwren> stokachu: or even check debian WNPP?
[17:50] <stokachu> how are you guys using it?
[17:50] <stokachu> just compiling from source?
[17:50] <jrwren> stokachu: we packaged libmacaroons ourselves, so again, probably much deblint. Never with scrutiny of an official archives package
[17:51] <stokachu> so is it safe to say then i shouldn't be relying on theblues for our projects?
[17:52] <rick_h__> stokachu: it's safe to say we should be working to get that pushed farther. theblues is supposed to be the client library we offer folks as a canonical supported tool. 
[17:52] <rick_h__> stokachu: it's just not gotten the attention/roadmap love as it's been young and mostly used on the team
[17:53] <stokachu> no worries, im just in a bit of a time crunch with this other project that uses the charmstore api
[17:53] <stokachu> and i don't see getting libmacaroons in debian then ubuntu anytime soon
[17:53] <rick_h__> stokachu: you need it packaged and in before freeze?
[17:53] <stokachu> yea 
[17:53] <stokachu> i can always just use requests and call out manually
[17:53] <rick_h__> yea, I don't think the team realized that 
[17:54] <stokachu> nah i didn't tell anyone I needed that either
[17:54] <rick_h__> we'd prefer to use the client tool and to make it official and avoid the juju based library messes of the past
[17:54] <stokachu> as this project was kind of last minute
[17:54] <stokachu> yea
[17:54] <rick_h__> stokachu: understand. 
[17:54] <jrwren> the requests calls can get tricky with auth and macaroons IIRC.  But I may be confused on that.
[17:54] <stokachu> well whatever i can do, i can get into debian mentors and get libmacaroons packaged
[17:54] <stokachu> it's just finding someone to quickly pull it in before our freeze
[17:54] <rick_h__> stokachu: I don't think we can get it in before freeze. The team is sprinting next week and the package does work
[17:55] <stokachu> yea
[17:55] <stokachu> so right now im only using the api to pull in a bundle file
[17:55] <rick_h__> stokachu: if we can find someone to help review/push it along we can ask the team to help with the items
[17:55] <stokachu> could probably ask stephane or xnox
[17:56] <rick_h__> stokachu: the team will need someone to help them build out the required effort to see what needs doing
[17:56] <stokachu> ah
[17:57] <stokachu> ill see what it takes to get libmacaroons packaged
[17:57] <rick_h__> stokachu: ty, if you can get a cursory list of what's ungood in the current package then we can chat how much time it'll take to address. 
[17:57] <stokachu> since theblues is really ubuntu only that shouldnt be as bad
[17:57] <rick_h__> stokachu: thank you
[17:57] <rick_h__> stokachu: yea
[17:58] <stokachu> np
[17:58] <stokachu> i ran a lintian against my theblues package and it didn't give any bad errors
