seb128acheronuk, hey, could you remove the libnm-util-dev Build-Depends from kdelibs4support? it was added in 5.47.0-0ubuntu1 and isn't in Debian, it's probably not needed but it's not clear to me why it was added in the first place. That lib is deprecated and NBS now in Eoan07:50
acheronukseb128: let me look07:51
seb128acheronuk, thx!07:52
LocutusOfBorginfinity, first, I know how to develop for devel release, but sometimes for just my packages that I source upload in Debian, and have no strange things in clean target, I do dpkg-buildpackage -S -d and dput, and meh, I'm not an Ubuntu developer in my daily job, so I have to stick with at least one LTS, because I'm not a student who can upgrade because meh new stuff. Moreover, I can figure out, and I already use chroots, but07:53
LocutusOfBorgsometimes its just an overkill when you know the stuff you are working on, so I prefer to have a never debhelper on my bionic machine, e.g. if I want to compile the latest vbox in my laptop, I have to 1) lower compat requirements or 2) use a custom built debhelper version. Right now I'm following 2, and I'm not the only one who does this. if you want to provide updates to an LTS for 10 years, I think a backport is worth the07:53
LocutusOfBorgeffort.07:53
amurrayseb128: do you expect evolution-data-server currently in cosmic-proposed from LP #1813268 to migrate soon?07:54
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1813268 in evolution-data-server (Ubuntu Cosmic) "connection issues with Kopano IMAP servers" [Low,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/181326807:54
seb128amurray, hey, not unless someone test/mark the bugs verification-done, at this point I expect more that it's not going to be verified and sit there or end up being delete from proposed07:55
seb128amurray, which is sort why I made that point on the list a while ago about doing SRUs on non LTS/non-current-stable is a waste of efforts07:55
LocutusOfBorgjuliank, 1) I use already chroots, but sometimes I just need to create something quick for test or ppa, the chroot solution doesn't scale efficiently on 100% of the use cases 2) upgrade to devel is a no-go for $dailyjob 3) what if I want to also test the built deb file on my laptop?07:55
seb128amurray, in practice no-one use cosmic now and we don't have people to do the verifications07:56
LocutusOfBorgand using -nc is source of troubles, I don't want the risk of something in the tarball I don't want, I prefer to not use nc and chroot when clean doesn't work (or backport tools when I find them useful in my daily life)07:57
juliankI mean, you are supposed to use -nc anyway, to avoid spurious changes from a broken clean target07:57
juliankMaybe not for devel, but certainly for SRUs07:58
seb128amurray, anyway, sorry for the sort of ranting ... did you need that update in for a specific reason? if so I guess we can find some time to do the verification and unblock you (I need to reinstall a cosmic system for that though, since I don't have one at this point)07:58
acheronukseb128: this is why: -- The following OPTIONAL packages have not been found:08:18
acheronuk * NetworkManager (required version >= 0.7.0), The NetworkManager headers, <http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager>08:18
acheronuk   Needed for kded's networkstatus module08:18
acheronukseb128: I assume the files that were in libnm-util-dev will move to the normal -dev package?08:19
seb128acheronuk, the non deprecated ones yes08:20
seb128acheronuk, what .pc does it try to use?08:21
acheronukseb128: not sure. its optional though, and the Qt5/KF5 kded doesn't use kdelibs4support, so I think safe to drop08:35
seb128good08:35
acheronukseb128: uploading...08:40
seb128acheronuk, thanks!08:40
LocutusOfBorgjuliank, I usually debdiff changes files to be sure about my changes :) I prefer to do that anyway, and in case cruft is there, I create a custom chroot and run clean there :)08:52
LocutusOfBorgI admit, I don't SRU that much!08:53
LocutusOfBorgin any case, a custom chroot is also useful to verify the fix, so since I have to do it anyway... better use it from the begin08:53
juliankI have not used chroots in ages08:58
LocutusOfBorgI find them really useful!09:01
LocutusOfBorgwith xhost + I can easily test even graphic applications...09:02
LocutusOfBorgjust for curiosity, what do you use to setup an old Ubuntu version to confirm if an SRU is good or not? docker?09:02
cpaelzerhi, I have a package which runs build time tests that need a $HOME to be sort of valid (existing dir)10:49
cpaelzerbut in the build env this is set to /sbuild-nonexistent/10:49
cpaelzeris there a common best practise to that?10:49
cpaelzerI currently think of mktemp + export $HOME in override_dh_auto_test10:49
rbasakI think that sounds reasonable10:50
amurrayseb128: re e-d-s on cosmic - the version in -proposed happens to already fix CVE-2018-15587 - so if that gets out then I don't have to manually patch it10:50
ubottuGNOME Evolution through 3.28.2 is prone to OpenPGP signatures being spoofed for arbitrary messages using a specially crafted email that contains a valid signature from the entity to be impersonated as an attachment. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-15587)10:50
rbasakcpaelzer: or something in the build tree, and then you can have an easier time writing the clean target?10:51
amurrayseb128: also from what I could see that is marked verification-done in the bug report10:51
seb128amurray, bug #1815882 isn't verified, I will test that now11:23

seb128cyphermox, hey, on that new japanese era SRU bug, are you/someone from foundations looking at the desktopish packages on the list as well (poppler-data, gucharmap, gnome-characters)13:57
seb128wasn't launchpad letting you see full comments on the web without downloading them before?14:03
cjwatsonDepends on the length14:06
seb128well, it has always been cutting to some length with "..."14:09
seb128but I though you had a "see full comment" or similar before14:09
seb128which would open that comment in its own page14:09
cjwatsonYou do14:12

seb128or maybe firefox changed, now it pop the download dialog, I'm pretty sure I was able to open those "inline" before14:15
cjwatsonI think that must be a browser change14:15
cjwatsonThat said, we're sending Content-Disposition: attachment; ...14:16
seb128chromium does the same14:16
cjwatsonAnyway, the last change to that code was nearly a year ago and that was just to quote the filename properly in the response header; before that the last change was in 201214:18
seb128maybe my memory is wrong :)14:20
seb128thx for checking/replying cjwatson!14:20
seb128(well in fact the item to download the comment always existed, but I though there was also a link to view the full comment in a page... anyway, not important)14:27
seb128k, it's still fine on other bugs, e.g https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usbguard/+bug/1816548/comments/10 so maybe it has to do with the size after all14:30

seb128that feels a bit low, but there is probably a reason for it14:35
