[17:14] * TheLordOfTime yawns
[17:14] <TheLordOfTime> bleh more bugs landed on my plate :/
[18:25] <penguin42> TheLordOfTime: Learn to run faster?
[19:09] <TheLordOfTime> penguin42, i should :P
[19:10] <TheLordOfTime> penguin42, regarding your question yesterday, if you've reported to Debian and Upstream, and filed a patch for Ubuntu, just wait, i think it needs fixing in Debian first, or upstream.
[19:10] <TheLordOfTime> penguin42, and given this is Universe, is upstream even alive?
[19:10] <TheLordOfTime> doesn't look like its been updated since Lucid.
[19:12] <TheLordOfTime> and packages.qa.debian shows its not been updated since 2k9 either: http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/tcpick.html
[19:26] <penguin42> TheLordOfTime: No I think upstream is pretty dead
[19:28] <TheLordOfTime> penguin42, i doubt this'll be fixed in Debian, then, you may want to talk to -MOTU and see if they would work with an ubuntu-only patch
[19:28] <TheLordOfTime> (divergence from upstream)
[19:28] <TheLordOfTime> s/upstream/debian/
[19:29] <TheLordOfTime> since its in Universe, they'd have better insight
[19:30] <penguin42> TheLordOfTime: Probably the best thing is to kill it in debian, but are people using it - remember it only breaks for Debian
[19:30] <penguin42> bah
[19:30] <penguin42> for Ubuntu
[19:30] <TheLordOfTime> do people in Ubuntu still use it?
[19:30] <penguin42> we got bug reports for it
[19:30] <TheLordOfTime> also, how "broken" is it?
[19:31] <TheLordOfTime> and why don't people actually bother using the STANDARD packet tracers :/
[19:31] <TheLordOfTime> penguin42, there may be bugs, but the majority of them are *old*
[19:31] <penguin42> TheLordOfTime: We have two bug reports for it, one of which is the one I patched; the other oene is locked and I can see a fix for it, but it is a bit grim
[19:32] <penguin42> TheLordOfTime: Well they're not old, the oneI fixed was dated this month - bug 1086534
[19:32] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1086534 in tcpick (Ubuntu) "*** buffer overflow detected ***: tcpick terminated with -t arg" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1086534
[19:32] <TheLordOfTime> don't reference this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tcpick/+bug/289976 (its hardy)
[19:32] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 289976 in tcpick (Ubuntu) "Segmentation fault on tcpick with fragmented IP packets" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[19:32] <TheLordOfTime> (hardy's pretty old)
[19:32] <penguin42> and bug 1026902 was July
[19:33] <TheLordOfTime> we may want to poke motu about it
[19:33] <TheLordOfTime> see what they say
[19:33] <TheLordOfTime> i'm usually hesitant to say a package needs purging, but if its dead and debian's bugs arent getting fixed either...
[19:34] <penguin42> http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=tcpick
[19:34] <TheLordOfTime> pfft
[19:34] <TheLordOfTime> that's in Debian, not Ubuntu
[19:34] <TheLordOfTime> we need a tracker for Ubuntu :P
[19:35] <penguin42> hehe
[19:35] <penguin42> oh interesting they have a link to packages that also show the ubuntu bugs
[19:36] <penguin42> I think I'll mail the debian package maintainer - although it's a little less than a month ago so shouldn't push too hard
[19:38] * penguin42 needs to extract some life from some debian-multimedia guys as well
[19:38] <TheLordOfTime> not sure the email address routes anywhere
[19:39] <penguin42> why?
=== LordOfTime is now known as TheLordOfTime
[23:41] <TheLordOfTime> penguin42, according to Debian BTS, the maintainer field routes to a .com.mx
[23:41] <TheLordOfTime> not sure that's a valid domain?
[23:41] <TheLordOfTime> something.com.mx
[23:41] <TheLordOfTime> (something actually says something though)
[23:41] <penguin42> why, it's just commerce in Mexico
[23:46] <TheLordOfTime> really?
[23:46] <TheLordOfTime> *shrugs*
[23:46] <TheLordOfTime> seems to not resolve from here.
[23:46] * TheLordOfTime shrugs again
[23:52] * penguin42 could do an mx resolve on it
[23:53] <TheLordOfTime> well my dns is a little wonky today
[23:53] <TheLordOfTime> so maybe that's the issue
[23:53] <TheLordOfTime> *shrugs*
[23:53] <TheLordOfTime> might be a good idea to poke the maintainer though
[23:54] <TheLordOfTime> (and sorry for randomdisappearanceact :P)
[23:55] <penguin42> already did
[23:56] <TheLordOfTime> good :)
[23:56] <TheLordOfTime> oh and THERE'S the oidentd bug i was looking for
[23:56] <TheLordOfTime> how come it took 12 hours to be filed :/
[23:56] <penguin42> filed?
[23:56] <TheLordOfTime> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094773 <-- took 12 hours between ubuntu-bug on affected system and it showing up on LP
[23:56] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1094773 in oidentd (Ubuntu) "oidentd spawns a new process for all new connections unless -l [number] defined" [Undecided,New]
[23:57] <TheLordOfTime> wonder if its net is lagging horridly
[23:57] * TheLordOfTime runs networking checks
[23:57] <penguin42> odd, doesn't u-b normally do it there and then?
[23:58] <TheLordOfTime> usually
[23:58] <TheLordOfTime> which is why i'm confuzled and amazed it took that long
