[08:51] <alan_g> greyback: I know you're in no way responsible, but I'm not understanding some code and hope you eyes will see what I'm missing: unity-system-compositor/debian/rules has
[08:51] <alan_g> 	set -ex; for python in $(shell py3versions -r); do \
[08:51] <alan_g> WTF is "py3versions -r"?
[08:52] <alan_g> nm found the manpage
[08:52] <greyback> :)
[08:52] <greyback> I am a second behind you
[08:53] <alan_g> Now I still don't understand *why*
[08:53] <greyback> seems to be a common method to set the python path
[08:54] <greyback> https://wiki.debian.org/Python/AppStyleGuide
[08:55] <alan_g> Ack. but in this context...
[08:56] <greyback> that I’m less sure about. Is python used in a script in usc somewhere?
[08:57] <alan_g> Yes, at build time it is used to embed the graphics
[08:57] <alan_g> But in "override_dh_install:"
[08:57] <alan_g> ?
[08:59] <greyback> maybe that’s it? Trying to use standardeze to deliberately call python3
[08:59] <greyback> I can see no other reason
[08:59] <alan_g> Maybe, but "py3versions -i" would make more  sense to me
[09:00] <alan_g> Rather than trying several versions and failing if the don't all work
[09:02] <alan_g> Though, that can return several versions too. But at least they all have a chance
[09:02] <greyback> no idea
[09:04] <alan_g> Well, I'll just change it and see what happens. "What can possibly go wrong?"
[09:37] <alan_g> greyback: this hack seems to build. Does it seem reasonable? https://code.launchpad.net/~alan-griffiths/unity-system-compositor/mir-0.27-compat/+merge/325751
[09:41] <greyback> alan_g: why was it failing to build? You need to update the commit message
[09:41] <alan_g> greyback: it was trying to run 3.6 which was not uninstalled
[09:42] <alan_g> On artful anyway - previous versions worked
[09:42] <alan_g> s/versions/series/
[09:43] <greyback> ok. Change looks reasonable. USC still has CI, right?
[09:45] <alan_g> I assume so. I've not actually looked. It builds in silo 2806.
[09:46] <alan_g> commit message OK now?
[09:47] <alan_g> If so, I'll backport to trunk
[09:49] <greyback> yeah, thanks
[09:55] <greyback> alan_g: CI complaining, but with overlays only, which I presume we do not care about
[09:55] <alan_g> Yes, was just about to drop those from CI
[10:14]  * alan_g hopes that unblocks the 0.27 release
[10:34] <alan_g> Oh rats! I had the USC MP targeting lp:usc and it autolanded
[16:25] <alan_g> greyback: which QtMir branch corresponds to artful source?
[16:26] <greyback> alan_g: I’ve not created such a thing, we just kept lp:qtmir up with the latest release
[16:26] <alan_g> greyback: there's a dependency on libcgmanager-dev which isn't in artful.
[16:27] <alan_g> And that's removed from the source package
[16:28] <greyback> interesting. Probably from https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/qtmir/no-more-cgmanager-or-upstart/+merge/323036
[16:28] <greyback> it didn’t land, but the source package was updated nevertheless
[16:28] <alan_g> greyback: <xnox> alan_g, are you missing http://launchpadlibrarian.net/316830238/qtmir_0.5.1+17.04.20170404-0ubuntu2_0.5.1+17.04.20170404-0ubuntu3.diff.gz this upload?
[16:29] <alan_g> OK, so there's no definitive branch to add my patch. At least I know.
[16:29]  * alan_g wonders why he's having to update packages we want to drop from artful.
[16:30] <xnox> alan_g, if you have things needing an upload into artful, I am happy to review them and upload them into artful direct with dput.
[16:30] <greyback> alan_g: yes, why are you?
[16:30] <xnox> alan_g, that should be quick enough without any ci/bzr/branches
[16:30] <xnox> is it failing to build from source now?
[16:30] <alan_g> xnox: yes, FTBFS
[16:31] <xnox> greyback, the AA team / foundations are still in progress identifying and removing things in order. Because we do not want to have uninstallable packages in the archive at any point in time, because britney goes crazy and replaces all broken packages with a different set of broken packages.
[16:31] <greyback> xnox: understood
[16:31] <xnox> alan_g, and you have a fix that you can give to me via paste.ubuntu.com? =)
[16:31] <alan_g> greyback: USC and qtmir are in artful/universe. They need rebuilding with Mir 0.27 for that to clear proposed
[16:32] <alan_g> xnox: yes
[16:32] <xnox> alan_g, please pastebinit =)
[16:32] <xnox> $ pastebinit foo.diff
[16:32] <xnox> for the win =)
[16:33] <alan_g> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25062216/
[16:33] <xnox> alan_g, cool, will apply and upload to both qtmir and qtmir-gles to unblock your migration in a second.
[16:44]  * alan_g wonders if all his hacking has confused bileto
[16:48] <alan_g> It's a wonderful system when everything works...
