| nauticalnexus | Trying to build a zsh 5.4.2 package on Ubuntu 17.10, keep getting this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ng385dFPT3/ not sure where to go from here | 00:36 |
|---|---|---|
| nacc | nauticalnexus: perhaps the zsh you are building needs a newer debhelper than is in artful | 01:49 |
| nacc | nauticalnexus: it looks like you are trying to backport the one form bionic to artful, but the bionic one is built with debhelper 11 | 01:49 |
| nauticalnexus | I was trying to build it from source :P | 01:49 |
| nauticalnexus | with bzr dh-make | 01:50 |
| nacc | nauticalnexus: what source? | 01:50 |
| nauticalnexus | tarball, hold on | 01:50 |
| nacc | nauticalnexus: dh-make is presumably invoking debhelper | 01:50 |
| nauticalnexus | http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Arc/source.html tar xz from here | 01:50 |
| nacc | nauticalnexus: if you're building from a tarball, why are you using `bzr` ? | 01:50 |
| nauticalnexus | That's what the wiki says to do >.> | 01:51 |
| nacc | nauticalnexus: what wiki? | 01:51 |
| nauticalnexus | http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html#starting-a-package | 01:51 |
| nauticalnexus | I have no idea what I'm doing if you can't tell. | 01:54 |
| nauticalnexus | But I want to learn.. | 01:54 |
| nacc | nauticalnexus: yeah you probably dont' want to follow that guide at all | 02:01 |
| nacc | and you want #ubuntu-packaging | 02:01 |
| nacc | nauticalnexus: i need to step away, but i can try and help tmrw | 02:02 |
| nauticalnexus | Ah, thanks, I'll go there | 02:02 |

| arunc | Hi, I found the version of OpenCV that will be shipped with Bionic will be a 3 year old version. Is it possible to update it to 3.4.x | 08:18 |
| arunc | Here is the bug to track https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/1753928 | 08:18 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1753928 in opencv (Ubuntu) "OpenCV version in Bionic" [Undecided,New] | 08:18 |
| sarnold | arunc: there's a small chance; even though it's after feature freeze, opencv is in universe .. | 08:19 |
| Faux | The link in the bug report says 3.2 is being shipped, which makes more sense as that's what's in Debian since Oct. | 08:20 |
| sarnold | ah so it is. seems very unlikely then. | 08:21 |
| arunc | sarnold: sorry, I'm not quite sure what universe means here. | 08:22 |
| arunc | Faux: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/opencv shows 3.1 and 3.2, not sure which one will be shipped though :-) | 08:23 |
| Faux | https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=opencv is more non-developer friendly. | 08:23 |
| sarnold | arunc: packages in universe are community supported; packages in main are canonical-supported. sometimes the rules around packages in univrese are relaxed occasionally when it makes some sense. | 08:23 |
| arunc | thanks | 08:23 |

| rbasak | nacc: slashd just found that the ubiquity usd-import-team repo is missing an ubuntu/devel branch. I can't think of how this might be expected? | 08:24 |
| sarnold | arunc: but there'd have to be a pretty compelling story to try to update a package in universe to something newer than debian is shipping | 08:24 |
| arunc | sarnold: I see, there are quite a bit of performance and stability improvements since last year.. FYI https://github.com/opencv/opencv/wiki/ChangeLog | 08:27 |
| arunc | 3.2 was released 1.5 years ago | 08:28 |
| sarnold | arunc: yeah, I can imagine it has probably seen a lot of use and refinement :) but I can't speak for why the debian maintainers for opencv are on the schedule they are, or what costs and benefits they weighed when deciding what to upload, when | 08:30 |
| Faux | The "dsfg" in the version number implies that the package is complicated. | 08:31 |
| StevenK | Not so much complicated as the source has had some things removed | 08:32 |
| sarnold | that qualifies for "complicated" in my book :) hehe | 08:32 |
| sarnold | " | 08:33 |
| sarnold | High-level API has been modified and is even more convenient now. | 08:33 |
| sarnold | if they removed or broke existing API that might be a huge roadblock to newer versions | 08:34 |
| arunc | I'm not familiar with Debian either.. but all I can think of is, Ubuntu 18.04 is going to be a LTS and if it doesn't ship the latest opencv, we will miss out huge benefits by default | 08:37 |
| arunc | thanks for your help. | 08:38 |
| StevenK | 3.3 is in experimental, so I guess it's not quite ready yet ... | 08:39 |
| infinity | arunc: I've always found "if X is an LTS, it must have the shiniest software" a strange argument, since the point of a stable LTS is to have software that doesn't change (modulo bug fixes and security advisories) for 5+ years. | 08:40 |
| infinity | arunc: I agree that it's nice to start those five years from a pretty shiny base, but that base gets out of date very quickly, compared to the total life of the release. | 08:40 |
| arunc | infinity: I can understand. In opencv's case with improvements in DNN, performance improvements, bug fixes and so on, it is sad not to see that come by default | 08:45 |
| rbasak | tjaalton: FYI, I'm looking at bug 1753839. Do you have any opinion (as you last merged)? | 13:51 |
| ubottu | bug 1753839 in memcached (Ubuntu) "memcached deadlock fixed in 1.5.5" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1753839 | 13:51 |

| jbicha | pitti: I would like to drop python-volume-key from Debian (like we did with python-blockdev) | 17:50 |

| dx | LocutusOfBorg: mind if i ask another thing? the xchat package has too many patches, could you remove the package itself? :P | 19:03 |
| tsimonq2 | Oh boy. :P | 19:04 |
| pitti | xchat? I thought that was removed ages ago, and replaced with hexchat | 19:08 |

| nacc | dx: however, the debian discussion seems more involved | 19:52 |
| dx | yeah, i figured i'd just wait for them to decide there | 19:53 |
| nacc | dx: yeah, seems reasonable | 19:53 |
| dx | of course taking a shortcut and just politely asking LocutusOfBorg to remove it was worth a shot | 19:56 |
| dx | it worked to remove a buggy patch from the pidgin package! | 19:57 |
