[00:21] <bdmurray> Laney, jibel: I spent some more time playing with autopkgtest, ssh, and canonistack and now it fails with "autopkgtest: DBG: TestbedFailure sent `open', got `login=ubuntu', expected `ok...'"
[03:21] <Heewa_B> I'm trying to fill out the header fields in a patch to a deb (from `quilt header -e --dep3`) as best as I can, but I'm new to this. What's "Forwarded"? And What's "Applied-Upstream"? (is it referring to an upstream location within ubuntu, or is upstream the same as "vendor" in this case?)
[03:22] <Heewa_B> Also, for a field like "Reviewed-by" that I'm not going to fill out (since it hasn't been reviewed), do I leave the part after the colon blank, or just remove the line?
[05:34] <shachaf> vorlon: Hi -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/valgrind/+bug/1808508 cites IRC discussion -- was it logged?
[05:36] <shachaf> The comments say that the bug is no longer monitored, but the conclusion really doesn't look right to me. Debug symbols are supposed to be available for a lot of software, not just gdb/valgrind/libunwind.
[05:38] <shachaf> perf worked around it, sort of, by adding special-case "mixed up Ubuntu" handling: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/85afd35575a3c1a3a905722dde5ee70b49282e70
[05:40] <shachaf> But there are many other programs that look for debug symbols, and they all have to individually work around the path being wrong now.
[14:25] <kanashiro> Heewa_B: this might help you with DEP-3 headers: https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/
[14:26] <kanashiro> and you do not need to use all the fields, you can remove the ones you do not want to use
[14:27] <Unit193> Basically, author and description are the most important, forwarded and others are good too though.
[18:17] <Heewa_B> Thanks, that's very helpful! I already submitted to Debian (to trickle down to Ubuntu, per some guide I followed), but I'll bookmark this for next time.
