GunnarHjvorlon: Wondering if you noticed bug #1800794. In short we have an Ubuntu specific bug in the dispatcher, since we use an own C program instead of upstream's TCL script. I have talked with cyphermox, and it looks like there is no time/interest to maintain that program today. He also let me know that you were involved in the decision many cycles ago to go that route. The direct question I have is in the latest comment in the11:41

cpaelzerIIRC that was sort of bad already last time he checked12:36
cpaelzerAll my involvement in it are my efforts to demote it some day :-)12:36

cpaelzerfixed in 3.5 is a bit late foe Eoan12:38
cpaelzerahasenack: do you know (or look for) isolated fixes or do you already know that there are massive reworks that are needed?12:39
ahasenackcpaelzer: I'm looking for them12:39
ahasenack3.5 isn't even released upstream yet12:39
cpaelzerpff, great12:40
cpaelzerthe discussion read like "why are you so outdated to not be on 3.5" but knowing that 3.5 isn't released yet ....12:41
ahasenackcpaelzer: doko: it's in here: https://github.com/vdukhovni/postfix/commit/3274c3cea9d739f86e84b65664aabb692e37e83f12:41

ahasenackthat is not an official postfix git repo, there isn't one publicly available12:43
ahasenackthis is just Viktor pulling in changes from wherever12:43
ahasenackI think via tarball snapshots even12:43
ahasenackthat wietse releases periodically12:43
LocutusOfBorgtjaalton, we are discussing on #debian-llvm right now12:45
LocutusOfBorgI guess the fix is to use llvm-812:45
LocutusOfBorgcpaelzer, would you mind trying virtualbox 5.2.12?12:45
cpaelzerLocutusOfBorg: I can do that later today (that bug is a private effort of mine)12:46
cpaelzerLocutusOfBorg: is there a benfit we expect in adding 5.2.12 to that list of known good/bad ?12:47
rbasakcpaelzer, ahasenack, Skuggen, bryyce: I'm preparing a minor version bump of MySQL 8 in Eoan. That won't cause any issues will it?12:48
cpaelzerLocutusOfBorg: as we know <=18 good and >=20 bad, do you expect 5.2.12 might be special in that regard?12:48
cpaelzerrbasak: you will actually trigger the right tests this time12:48
rbasakThat was my thinking.12:48
cpaelzerrbasak: so you might not cause new problems, but might trigger hidden old ones12:49
rbasakBut I thought I'd check so as not to interfere with any other efforts12:49
cpaelzerI think this is a case where you could use a bileto ticket12:49
cpaelzeryou would be able to trigger all the same tests without dirsturbing anyone12:49
rbasakcpaelzer: what would be the benefit of doing that over doing it in the archive?12:49
rbasakWe need to make the bump anyway12:49
cpaelzerah ok then12:50
cpaelzerthe benefit for me sometimes is to be able to work on my own crap without entangling my upload with anyone elses12:50

cpaelzerahasenack: but if you are busy with motd or others let me know and I'll try to give it a shot12:54
ahasenackk12:54
cpaelzerI can punt some other things to tomorrow if needed12:54
dokoahasenack, cpaelzer, coreycb: mecab-ipadic wants to promote, there already is an approved MIR, but no package subscriber12:55
doko... for mysql-8.012:55
cpaelzerdoko: that was mysql12:55
cpaelzeryeah12:55
cpaelzerwe will sort out the subscription as soon as powersj is online12:55
cpaelzerand ping you then12:55
cpaelzerthanks for the reminder doko12:55
cjwatsonIs anyone looking at the MIRs needed for the new version of lintian?12:56
cjwatson(It blocks the latest man-db for autopkgtest reasons)12:56
cpaelzerI have not seen any MIRs incoming yet cjwatson12:56
dokoyes, promoted one package, and wrote a pseudo MIR for the others, and pinged cyphermox12:57
cpaelzerwow, was that just the last few hours doko12:57

tjaaltonLocutusOfBorg: well, I'm trying to move to llvm-9..12:57

LocutusOfBorgI just discovered that the llvm-dev package was 250MB13:09
LocutusOfBorgso I got worried13:09

jankoprowskiHello. I have one question. What are advantages of pbuilder over building in docker image?13:19
dokoLaney, desktop: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozjs60/60.2.3-4build1/+build/17523444 ftbfs13:28
Laneyok, can you file a bug?13:28
Laneyrls-ee-incoming, it'll get assigned that way13:28
rbasakjankoprowski: if you want a reproducible build, you're best off using the build system that your distribution uses.13:30
rbasakOtherwise in edge cases you'll get different behaviour.13:30
rbasakThat's always a risk but you can minimise that by building the same as others.13:30
rbasakFor Ubuntu, that's sbuild rather than pbuilder.13:31
jankoprowskirbasak I'm compiling rust source code and put binary into deb. Anything I should be aware of?13:31
jankoprowskirbasak also should I commit "debian" directory into source code?13:32
rbasakjankoprowski: well those are different questions and I don't have good answers, sorry. This channel is for development of Ubuntu itself. If you want help developing your own non-distribution packages, you're not in the right place. Maybe try askubuntu.com.13:33
jankoprowskirbasak - Thank you :)  I will try there.13:34

ubottuLaunchpad bug 869017 in linux (Ubuntu Zesty) "Ubuntu server enables screenblanking, concealing crashdumps (DPMS is not used)" [Undecided,Fix released]15:08
bryycerbasak, ah interesting, screen blanking issues are always fun15:18
bryycerbasak, but I think this is a regular video driver bug.  I got a nifty cool 6-output radeon card, and I'm sure it's sufficiently obscure to trip misc. X bugs.15:20
rbasakack15:22
rbasakI didn't realise you were doing X.org things15:22
ahasenackdoko: can you wait a couple of days on the postfix ftbfs fix? Debian is willing to take that patch, even though they don't have that glibc yet, and this would avoid adding a delta to the postfix package17:16
ahasenackif not, then I can upload ours, and sync from debian later17:17
ddstreetjuliank when you get in, i'd like your opinion on lp #1842947, it seems to me like a potentially serious problem with any native package that carries a 'configure' file17:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1842947 in dpkg (Ubuntu) "dpkg 1.19.0.5ubuntu2.2 build did not recreate 'configure' file, losing changes in 'configure.ac'" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/184294717:26
cjwatsonreally not a problem with any package.  it'll be specific to dpkg's debian/rules17:29
cjwatsonit's relying on a make target for configure to call autoreconf *shrug*17:30
ddstreetcjwatson removing that doesn't change anything17:31
cjwatsonI would not expect *removing* it to help!17:31
ddstreeter, so you mean all native packages with configure files need to have special d/rules entry to make sure configure is recreated?17:31
cjwatsonchanging "configure:" to "configure: configure.ac" might help, but really it ought to be rewritten to just use dh_autoreconf17:31
cjwatsonnativeness has nothing to do with anything17:32
ddstreetcjwatson that won't help either if configure.ac is newer than configure17:32
cjwatsonwrong17:32
ddstreetmake doesn't check timestamps?17:32
cjwatsondpkg is just using an obsolete style of regenerating configure; there's no need to overgeneralise this17:32
cjwatsonyou have it backwards17:32
cjwatson"configure: configure.ac" means consider configure out of date if configure.ac is newer17:32
ddstreetcjwatson sorry i meant it backwards - if conjfigure is newer than configure.ac17:33
cjwatsonstill, the correct approach would be just to use dh_autoreconf17:33
cjwatsons/correct/modern/17:33
ddstreetwell that's good, at least it's confined to just dpkg17:34
cjwatsonanything using dh(1) and compat level 10 or above does that automatically; dpkg uses compat level 11 but it calls debhelper commands by hand rather than using dh17:34
ddstreetcjwatson so dh_autoreconf will call autoreconf -v -i ?17:35
cjwatsonby default it runs autoreconf -f -i.  this is configurable by the package - see dh_autoreconf(1)17:36
ddstreetaha, perfect, that's one suggestion i put in the bug17:36
ddstreetuse -f17:36
ddstreetok i'll just fix dpkg then, hopefully nothing else tries to manually run autoreconf17:36
cjwatsonthe problem here isn't lack of -f AFAICS, it's just that autoreconf wasn't being run at all17:36
ddstreetwithout -f17:36
ddstreeter, no, autoreconf without -f won't rebuild configure if it's newer than configure.ac17:37
ddstreeti just checked17:37
ddstreet-f is definitely needed17:37
cjwatsonI'm not saying it's not needed, I'm saying that just adding -f doesn't help if autoreconf isn't called :)17:37
ddstreetwell, sure :)17:38
ddstreetthnx!17:38
cjwatson(in fact configure and configure.ac have equal mtimes in that dpkg source tarball)17:38
dokoahasenack: no worry, I was just pointing to the ftbfs in main18:04

tewarddoes anyone know if there's an ETA on Thunderbird 68 being available in the repositories including for Bionic?  Because *some* update to Thunderbird in Bionic broke the ability for Enigmail to function properly, so I have to run a from-source Thunderbird 68 separately, and it's not kind to do that (because different TBird profiles)20:11
