| kurufu | Perhaps this the appropriate place to ask, let me know if it isnt. But what is the scope of the debian import freeze? After that are no new major/minor versions of already imported packages introduced? And more generally whats the last date for new versions of of general end user/desktop software to be pulled in to the new release? | 02:12 |
|---|---|---|
| RAOF | kurufu: Debian Import Freeze means that we're no longer autosyncing everything from unstable. | 02:51 |
| RAOF | That just means that if you want something synced from unstable, you need to do it manually (if you've upload privileges; otherwise, you can ask) | 02:52 |
| RAOF | However, we're also in Feature Freeze, which means that changes should now focus on fixing bugs rather than features/new versons. | 02:53 |
| RAOF | So, new upstream versions can still be uploaded freely, if they're bugfix releases. | 02:56 |
| kurufu | that makes sense, thanks! | 02:56 |
| RAOF | Non-bugfix upstream releases, or other new features (for example: enabling a new compile-time optional feature) need to follow the Feature Freeze Exception process. | 02:57 |
| Eickmeyer | tseliot_: RE: bug 1915003, not sure if you saw, but nvidia-settings FTBFS on bionic. The OEM I work for is waiting for this to migrate, but the bionic build being FTBFS means the focal build is stuck. | 04:12 |

| mwhudson | aaargh when can we get debdiff to show mode changes :( | 10:32 |
| seb128 | that would be a valuable improvement indeed | 10:35 |
| ed_ | just a matter of raising a pull request ;) | 10:35 |
| mwhudson | i think there is a debian bug that would be at high school now if it was a child about this | 10:36 |
| JackFrost | It was a bit moot until patch grew support, which it did not too long ago. Now it'd make a lot of sense, or you can cheat and add it. | 10:37 |
| mwhudson | oh no, not that old, because i filed it :) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907126 | 10:37 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 907126 in devscripts "debdiff: please show mode changes when comparing source packages" [Wishlist,Open] | 10:37 |
| JackFrost | 90xxxx, that's fairly new, basically. 40xxxx would be old. | 10:38 |
| mwhudson | yeah faulty memory | 10:38 |
| mwhudson | must be time for bed | 10:38 |
| JackFrost | But I have a patchfile with 'new file mode 100755' to create the script executable, it works. \o/ | 10:39 |
| rbasak | mwhudson: switch to git-ubuntu :) | 11:49 |
| xnox | mwhudson: replied to that bug report with a patch. | 13:08 |
| ItzSwirlz | With general patching, I always love when upstream puts configure.in instead of configure.ac and of course that triggers a lintian warning, but quilt doesn't know how to read files being renamed. :P (except for maybe deleting and making a new file) | 13:26 |
| cjwatson | ItzSwirlz: good lord, are there upstreams who still haven't caught up with that? That change was in 2001 | 13:44 |
| cjwatson | I shouldn't be surprised really | 13:44 |
| ItzSwirlz | cjwatson: Don't tell Mint. A nemo extension still uses it for some reason | 13:44 |
| ItzSwirlz | in nemo-share | 13:45 |
| cjwatson | nemo forked from nautilus whose first stable release was two months before autoconf 2.50 which IIRC introduced configure.ac. they must really be trying | 13:45 |
| cjwatson | (almost certainly not so much "still" using it as copied from some archaic template which was long obsolete when they did so) | 13:46 |
| ItzSwirlz | I'll PR them upstream. | 13:55 |

| realtime-neil | How do I prevent a given package's preinst maintainer script from running? | 23:20 |
| rbasak | I'm not aware of a method to do that apart from to remove the preinst from the deb before installing it manually | 23:21 |
| rbasak | dpkg-deb -R to unpack | 23:22 |
| rbasak | Then remove DEBIAN/preinst | 23:22 |
| rbasak | Then dpkg-deb -b to repack | 23:22 |
| rbasak | (see manpage for the necessary arguments) | 23:22 |
| rbasak | I assume you're working around something | 23:23 |
| rbasak | If it's an actual bug in the preinst, let's fix it instead :) | 23:23 |
| realtime-neil | rbasak: I knew about repacking, but yeah, fixing the bug is going to be difficult.... | 23:24 |
| realtime-neil | Ros2 has this little beauty: https://index.ros.org/d/rti-connext-dds-5.3.1/ | 23:25 |
| realtime-neil | and the preinst blocks waiting for user input in _all_ cases | 23:26 |
| sarnold | where's the maintainer scripts from there/ | 23:31 |
| realtime-neil | lemme see if I can scrape the one I'm talking about .... | 23:35 |
| sarnold | all the clicking I've done so far suggests it's hidden behind registration pages, heh | 23:36 |
| rbasak | realtime-neil: ah, the bug's not in Ubuntu itself? This isn't the best channel then. | 23:41 |
