Unit193cjwatson: You're listed as an uploader to lintian, are you still?  If so, do you think it'd be appropriate to commit http://paste.openstack.org/show/XPnyjaeZ9KtS6w0h6zaP/?17:34
jbichaUnit193: why?18:10
Unit193So it doesn't complain about an invalid dist, why not?18:11
jbichaare you proposing to upload to Ubuntu with that as your series?18:13
Unit193...As you can somewhat read from the patch and context, no.  For lintian.18:14
Unit193('devel' is already a valid upload target, lintian just doesn't know that.)18:16
jbichabut we don't want to encourage people to use that for uploads, do we?18:17
Unit193I asked, it was fine.18:17
cjwatsonUnit193: Doesn't seem unreasonable, but probably best to file a bug18:53
Unit193cjwatson: Bah, OK.  Figured since you're on the Ubuntu side you were the best to ask if that was OK from your/our end.18:59
cjwatsonYeah, been a while since I committed anything non-obvious to Lintian though18:59
Unit193Figured you'd be off for the weekend too, and I'd not get a response until Mon.19:05
cjwatsonBank holiday weekend too19:06
cjwatsonBut it was respond now or forget entirely :P19:06
Unit193Paha, thanks then!19:06
infinityUnit193, cjwatson: I'd honestly prefer to delete the devel symlink (and the upload target) and call it a failed experiment, but meh.20:24
Unit193I think it's quite handy. :320:30
infinityUnit193: Because "artful" is hard to spell?20:30
Unit193infinity: Nah, it feels more accurate (and of course more like Debian.)  Certain packages you don't really care exactly where they go, just the 'development' version.  Others, such as default-settings or artwork packages you target specifically.  While that means nothing in a technical sense (they both go to artful), it's a little more clear as to the intent.  I can also have a debdiff or dsc20:35
Unit193sitting around for months and it's just about as valid as it was before.20:35
=== mako_ is now known as mako
infinityUnit193: Except, it's not "accurate in the Debian sense", because we don't have a rolling devel series like sid.20:41
infinityUnit193: sid always means the same thing.  devel changes meaning every 6 months.20:42
Unit193infinity: I also prefer it a _lot_ more for "internal" reasons.  Right, there I said "more like Debian"20:42
Unit193infinity: And yes technically it's due more to the fact that sid is rolling rather than a development release, though you do upload to 'unstable' for it to pass to testing, which is the "staging" grounds for stable.  All the lib transitions go in unstable, which is 'devel-proposed' for us.20:49
