[09:20] <AlanBell> Hi pendulum I am tying this using dasher on maverick and I can't make it crash
[09:24] <AlanBell> I looked at the code there has been a new release and the bit that was crashing has been totally rewriten
[09:24] <AlanBell> back to regular keyboard now
[09:25] <AlanBell> 3 minutes per line is a bit slow
[09:25] <AlanBell> that was with dasher -a into irssi, it works fine, the DeleteCharacters bit it was segfaulting on is now totally not there
[09:26] <AlanBell> it is possible to do /window 20<return> but a little hard still, it thinks it unlikely you want to do a newline without a full stop first
[09:31] <AlanBell> nigelb: how do I mark bug 586558 as fixed in Maverick?
[09:31] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 586558 in dasher (Ubuntu) "dasher crashed with SIGSEGV in Dasher::CDasherModel::DeleteCharacters() (affects: 2) (heat: 121)" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/586558
[10:05] <nigelb> AlanBell: nominate for release Maverick and mark it as fix released
[10:06] <AlanBell> done, thanks
[10:07] <vish> nigelb: why nominate thats for older releases?
[10:07] <nigelb> AlanBell: gah, err, nominate for lucid and maverick and once accepted, mark the maverick one as fixed
[10:07] <vish> AlanBell: you can just mark it as fixed and comment "Fixed in Maverick" adding a version number will be a bonus
[10:07] <nigelb> vish: we want to track the same bug for lucid too
[10:08] <AlanBell> ok, nominated for both and set back to confirmed
[10:08] <vish> nigelb: still , it first needs to be marked fixed , the main task is for the devel version ie maverick
[10:09] <nigelb> vish: yes, but when you 2 tasks, having one as fixed relased makes sense doesn't it?
[10:09] <vish> the lucid tasks will be opened later..
[10:09] <vish> nigelb: no, but that is how it works. first we mark it fixed , the main task is always > devel release
[10:09] <vish> current one..
[10:10] <nigelb> vish: Ah, correct. /me kicks self
[10:10] <nigelb> today is just not going right
[10:10] <AlanBell> so it should be fix released?
[10:10] <AlanBell> and nominated for Lucid?
[10:10] <vish> AlanBell: yup, the nominate for release we use mainly for SRU
[10:10] <vish> yup
[10:11] <AlanBell> ok, done
[10:11] <AlanBell> don't think I can withdraw the Maverick nomination
[10:11] <vish> no , you've branded the bug ;p
[10:11] <nigelb> AlanBell: don't worry, it will be rejected by the powers that be
[10:12] <vish> AlanBell: if you want to follow through for a SRU , finding the exact patch that fixed it would help.. usually unknown bug fixes dont make it for an SRU
[10:12] <nigelb> Even known bug fixes without someone prodding doesn't make it for SRU
[10:14] <vish> hmm , but reading the AlanBell's comment , it seems it might not be a SRU candidate.. he mentions a rewrite..
[10:14] <AlanBell> vish: I have a feeling it is a bit of an architectural change rather than a patch
[10:14] <vish> :)
[10:14] <AlanBell> the function that was crashing no longer exists
[10:14] <nigelb> oh, well
[10:43] <nigelb> AlanBell: nominations accepted/rejected :)
[12:03] <AlanBell> great, thanks
