| tdaitx | hi, could someone please set LP: #1771363 importance to High and also create a bionic task with High importance for both LP: #1771363 and LP: #1739631? | 14:15 |
|---|---|---|

| tedge | Hi, I filed a StableReleaseUpdate bug a few days ago for pikopixel.app (pixel-editing app in the universe repo), but there's been no response so far. | 17:24 |
| tedge | Can someone please take a look, and let me know if I did it right? | 17:24 |
| tedge | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pikopixel.app/+bug/1770777 | 17:24 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1770777 in pikopixel.app (Ubuntu) "[SRU] Bionic: PikoPixel 1.0 BETA9b can crash when resizing a document window" [Undecided,New] | 17:24 |
| teward | tedge: patience is a virtue, SRUs take time to review | 17:26 |
| teward | and there's a bunch of them | 17:26 |
| teward | not to mention someone has to download the updated source code, adjust the package, test the package, etc. typically to make sure it all works. | 17:28 |
| rbasak | teward: you should ask in #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-motu. This channel is for bug triage only. I don't see prepared packaging for Bionic though? | 17:28 |
| teward | tedge: ^ | 17:28 |
| teward | i was about to say that as well | 17:28 |
| rbasak | Uh yeah sorry. | 17:28 |
| teward | rbasak: No problem :) | 17:28 |
| rbasak | tedge: you can't just "update Bionic to Cosmic's version". It will need a rebuild, and thus a new version number. Therefore updated packaging. Usually sponsors expect this to already be prepared and tested. | 17:29 |
| tedge | Thanks, teward. This is the first time I've filed a SRU, so I didn't know what to expect in terms of timeframe. | 17:30 |
| teward | tedge: rbasak is right though | 17:30 |
| teward | *is operating on no coffee right now >.<* | 17:30 |
| tedge | rbasak: Thanks. I'm the upstream developer, not a packager. Would -devel or -motu be the appropriate place to ask for help rebuilding the package, or should I go to ubuntu-packaging? | 17:35 |
| teward | tedge: i think you need someone who knows packaging to volunteer to work on the patching. | 17:35 |
| teward | either -devel or -motu would work, but the core question is "Who will prepare the packaging" | 17:36 |
| teward | if you don't know how then someone needs to step up to help with that step | 17:36 |
| teward | or the SRU goes nowhere. | 17:36 |
| rbasak | tedge: given it's for Ubuntu itself, I think people in -devel and/or -motu would be happy to answer questions. But yeah, it needs someone to be prepared to do the packaging side. | 17:36 |
| tedge | unfortunately, it hasn't been packaged specifically for Ubuntu before (it's only been inherited directly from Debian), so I don't know anyone yet. | 17:43 |
| teward | *yawns from boredom* | 17:43 |
| teward | i could use a break, let me see how difficult patching it would be | 17:43 |
| tedge | I'll ask around in -devel/-motu, thanks for the tip! | 17:43 |
| tedge | teward: that would be great! let me know if I can answer any questions about the sources. | 17:44 |
| teward | provided of course I don't get killed by work :P | 18:22 |
| teward | rbasak: making tedge's code work would need an MRE | 18:26 |
| teward | since there's no visible upstream VCS repo where the package code can be nitpicked | 18:26 |
| teward | so any 'patch' is going to basically be a full MRE | 18:26 |
| tedge | The Debian GNUstep team has a VCS repo for the package, with a mirror of the upstream sources: https://salsa.debian.org/gnustep-team/pikopixel.app | 18:28 |
| teward | well | 18:28 |
| teward | kinda | 18:28 |
| teward | but not really | 18:28 |
| teward | they're just importing the tarballs | 18:28 |
| teward | and the taking that source and putting it in the repos | 18:28 |
| teward | I'm asking if *you* have a nitpicked patch that doesn't require a full version bump to fix *just* this one issue | 18:28 |
| teward | which judging by your changelogs sounds like "more than one issue" at play | 18:29 |
| teward | we can continue this discussion in a more valid channel though | 18:29 |
| tedge | what channel do you want to go to? | 18:32 |
| augeus | teward, wrt yesterday's thing, I also wrote a trivial patch that enables my system to process emoji domains | 18:50 |
| teward | augeus: nice, I'd share that on some page so that others can benefit, even if it's in a gist. | 18:51 |
| * augeus uploaded it to launchpad (attch. on the bugreport) | 18:51 | |
| teward | i've got 50 bugreports on my screen from today and yesterday, mind reminding me which bug report? | 18:52 |
| augeus | #1771109 | 18:52 |
| augeus | It's a *very* trivial patch, and it's most probably not the way to do things, but, hey, it works for me :) | 18:53 |
| augeus | teward, So, what do you think? Am I handling this correctly? | 20:07 |
| rbasak | augeus: has that patch been accepted upstream? | 20:21 |
| rbasak | augeus: if not, I'm not sure it's appropriate for Ubuntu to diverge from upstream behaviour on this. | 20:21 |
| augeus | I see | 20:22 |
| rbasak | Especially for stuff like IDN because that's very security sensitive. | 20:22 |
| augeus | Thanks for the info -- I will bring this up upstream | 20:22 |
| rbasak | I'll comment that on the bug. | 20:22 |
| augeus | I'm not really familiar with the procedures involved | 20:22 |
| augeus | Sorry if I'm pestering you :) | 20:22 |
| rbasak | No problem. We're always looking for volunteers to help with getting changes landed, and so we're usually quite happy to explain (and take feedback on) procedures. | 20:23 |
| rbasak | Please try to use #ubuntu-devel though. This channel isn't really appropriate, and you're more likely to readily get help there. | 20:24 |
| * augeus does not know much about distro politics | 20:24 | |
| augeus | Never had to submit a bug report/patch to a distribution -- I am fairly cautious when choosing hardware and software, so I usually don't run into issues | 20:25 |
| augeus | So, even though I can code, I never had to go through this | 20:25 |
| augeus | Imagine, I've been in this ride for some time, too | 20:26 |
| augeus | So, yeah. I'll be asking upstream, see what they think about this | 20:27 |
| rbasak | I'm not sure this is really about politics. More about which way patches flow through the ecosystem. | 20:28 |
| augeus | Well, it's a form of formal bureaucracy, which exists for a good reason, but it helps if one obtains some help in navigating it :) | 20:29 |
| teward | rbasak: i replied to your PMs, by the way. I may need to do some heavy-duty grinding down to find the specific fixes... | 20:48 |
| teward | ... after dinner and voting. *gone* | 20:48 |
