| ahasenack | is it acceptable for an ubuntu main package to have a recommends on an universe package? | 12:55 |
|---|---|---|
| ahasenack | in this case, depending on the configuration of the main package, that universe package might or might not be required | 12:55 |
| ahasenack | it's a plugin that can only be built and used with the universe package installed | 12:55 |
| ahasenack | the main package has many plugins, it's just one of many. All the others link to something in main, but this particular one, if enabled, would need universe | 12:56 |
| seb128 | no, it's not | 12:56 |
| mdeslaur | it can be a suggests, but not a recommends | 12:56 |
| mdeslaur | (IIRC) | 12:56 |
| ahasenack | debian has it as a recommends | 12:56 |
| ahasenack | it's samba-vfs-modules, and the universe package is glusterfs-common | 12:56 |
| mdeslaur | you need to either move the plugin to a universe package, or stop building that particular plugin | 12:57 |
| ahasenack | https://salsa.debian.org/samba-team/samba/blob/master/debian/control#L304 | 12:57 |
| ahasenack | right now we don't build it | 12:57 |
| ahasenack | but I keep getting bugs asking to enable it | 12:57 |
| ahasenack | there is a mir, let me check | 12:57 |
| ahasenack | it was nacked | 12:58 |
| ahasenack | https://launchpad.net/bugs/1274247 | 12:58 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1274247 in glusterfs (Ubuntu) "[MIR] Glusterfs" [High,Won't fix] | 12:58 |
| mdeslaur | and you can't make it a suggests instead of a recommends? | 13:00 |
| ahasenack | I suppose I could change our current delta, which is to not build it, to make it a suggests | 13:00 |
| mdeslaur | ie: if you build the module, and glusterfs-common isn't installed, will samba still work? | 13:00 |
| mdeslaur | ie: the module is disabled by default anyway, right? | 13:00 |
| ahasenack | mdeslaur: it will as long as you don't use the glusterfs module in smb.conf | 13:00 |
| ahasenack | yes, it's not loaded by default | 13:01 |
| mdeslaur | right, so make it a suggests instead of a recommends | 13:01 |
| ahasenack | so our delta would change from "drop gluster support" to "add gluster support as a suggests" | 13:01 |
| mdeslaur | right, or "move gluster recommends to suggests as it is in universe" | 13:01 |
| mdeslaur | whoever wants to use it just needs to install the missing package, but at least the module is built and availabe | 13:02 |
| mdeslaur | available | 13:02 |
| ahasenack | well, needs to know about it | 13:03 |
| ahasenack | there will be an error in the logs, smbd won't start, that kind of thing | 13:03 |
| mdeslaur | better than not having it at all ;) | 13:03 |
| ahasenack | I can check these conditions, but would an error be acceptable, if the module is used and gluster isn't installed? | 13:03 |
| mdeslaur | add something to the news file | 13:03 |
| mdeslaur | I think it's reasonable since the module isn't enabled by default | 13:04 |
| seb128 | or split it to a new binary which is going to be in universe and have that depends on glusterfs-common? | 13:04 |
| mdeslaur | that's another possibility | 13:05 |
| ahasenack | yeah, something like samba-vfs-modules-glusterfs | 13:06 |
| ahasenack | would be a bigger delta from debian | 13:06 |
| ahasenack | thanks for the brainstorm | 13:07 |
| mdeslaur | np | 13:08 |
| rbasak | cjwatson: http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-archive.html#s-universe doesn't have the build-depends against universe update. | 16:14 |
| rbasak | Would you like a bug filed? :-P | 16:14 |
| cjwatson | Sure | 16:17 |
| rbasak | Is there a LP project for it? | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | rbasak: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-policy | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | I'd be happy for somebody to take it over and merge it up | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | Should be gitified too | 16:27 |
| rbasak | Thanks! | 16:30 |

| ahasenack | tjaalton: hi, the landscape-client sru uploads you rejected, can the new upload with the fix use the same version? I think it can, bceause the package never made it to proposed | 17:47 |
