[00:39] norsetto, any sign of nxvl? [00:39] RoAkSoAx: nope [00:40] norsetto, wierd!! he might be in a nice bridge since he does not give any signs of being alive!! [00:41] RoAkSoAx: well, its almost 2am here, so I don't think he will phone soon, I think his flight is in few hours actually [00:42] norsetto, i see... here is almost 7pm... and i was expecting him to be present at the Americas Membership meeting since i'm applying and he was supporting me... but well.. [00:43] RoAkSoAx: I guess he didn't find any internet café with Ubuntu computers ;-) [00:43] norsetto, hahah yeah!! and neither a open wireless connection for his laptop... (here in my Perú you can find thousands since no one is aware of wireless security) [00:44] where you are nxvl... xS [00:45] oh well, time to rest these poor bones [00:46] hahah [01:04] Aha! It's not my crypttab that's broken, it's the initramfs :) [01:05] Ok, and maybe cryptsetup. [01:05] Awkward. [01:08] kees: fair enough, i'll bug you again if they haven't taken it by FF for Intrepid [01:11] kirkland: yup, sounds totally right [01:15] anyone in here want to attest at just how annoying RoAkSoAx is and think he should be an Ubuntu member, #ubuntu-meeting now :) [01:15] nixternal, nxvl would but he is still in Europe :( [01:15] lol [02:29] I'm doing a merge on a package where the source directory is not in named in the format -. dpkg-source gives a warning about this. Should I rename the source directory, or should I leave it as it is? [02:30] ignore [02:31] nhandler: I'd keep the pattern used in the Debian package if they differ. Otherwise, it's not important (except where you are the packager or maintainer). [02:34] persia_: Ok, thanks for your help [02:39] Heya gang [02:46] Hey bddebian.

[07:12] StevenK: I sent the "Steve: can you please take a look at it?" unfortunately before I subscribed you to it [07:12] But it's xmms2! [07:12] errrr [07:12] bug number? [07:13] StevenK: ^ [07:13] nm, got it [07:13] Trying to find it [07:13] bug 178477?

[07:13] Maybe that was Thunderbird being dorky [07:13] I sent that on the bluez-utils merge [07:14] Oh! [07:14] Right [07:14] Then I confused the two bugs [07:14] alright [08:00] \sh: can you have a look at bug 198618? you removed some files in a previous upload for which people are complaining [08:00] Launchpad bug 198618 in opencryptoki "Critical parts of library missing from the package" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/198618 [08:49] stgraber: you should use '-s' with requestsync, as you need an ACK [08:52] pochu: you rejected my merge of kdmtheme, could you give me someidea what's wrong with it? [08:53] from the point of view of some one still learning just saying 'the debdiff looks wrong' doesn't tell me much [08:53] since I'm still learning what 'right' is supposed to look like [08:55] sorry forget link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdmtheme/+bug/227912 [08:55] Launchpad bug 227912 in kdmtheme "merge kdmtheme 1.2.2-1 from Debian unstable" [Wishlist,Confirmed] [08:56] pochu: oh right, forgot this option ...

[09:02] I'll fix it later (probably at weekend) [09:02] no, I haven't actually looked into it yet [09:02] I'm at work right now [09:02] Arby: ok, when you do it attach both a ubuntu->ubuntu and a debian->ubuntu debdiffs :) [09:03] pochu: ok, thanks for the feedback :) [09:04] how do you keep track of changes you make to debian packages? [09:09] AzaTht: mentioning them in debian/changelog [09:22] no, I meant more how to handle changes [09:24] AzaTht: ah, we merge our changes with the Debian package at the beginning of the development cycle (and we sync if possible) [09:27] ok [09:27] a pile of patched in an directory? [09:27] patches* === tb1 is now known as tbf [09:58] hi [09:59] is there any document which describes the process of syncing the debian-repos with the ubuntu-repos? [09:59] i can't find some packages in the ubuntu-repos, but i find the package in the debian-repos.. [10:00] for example libjava-gnome-java or libjogl-java [10:00] charliecb: if the package is not in Ubuntu yet it will be synced automatically in one of the auto-sync runs (if it's not in experimental) [10:01] all packages with no ubuntu-local changes will be synced automatically until DebianImportFreeze [10:01] dholbach: but i'm waiting since the beginning of intrepid and noting is synced. [10:01] is it in non-free or contrib? [10:01] in those cases it might need an explicit sync request, but I'm not sure [10:01] <\sh> moins [10:01] best to ask in #ubuntu-devel [10:02] dholbach: one is in non-free, but one not. [10:02] libjava-gnome-java | 4.0.7-1 | intrepid/universe | amd64, i386 [10:02] libjogl-java | 1.1.1-1 | unstable/non-free | source, all [10:03] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess for explicit sync requests [10:03] so that one would probably need a manual sync request to get it into multiverse [10:03] siretart: how do you search? i use packages.ubuntu.com and there i can't find both packages. [10:03] hey luisbg [10:03] Mr VJ :) [10:03] hey dholbach :) [10:03] charliecb: I prefer rmadison(1) to do those searches. it supports multiple source using '-u ubuntu' or '-u qa' for debian [10:04] it was awesome to vj with you guys spinning [10:04] charliecb: it is part of the 'devscripts' package [10:04] dholbach, I want to do it again :) [10:04] luisbg: same here - it was just awesome [10:04] siretart: dholbach: ok. thank you [10:04] charliecb: anytime [10:04] dholbach, was your car toed after that? [10:05] luisbg: no, on the sunday before when we went to see the club for the first time - we parked in the wrong spot [10:05] luisbg: it was for "locals only" [10:05] dholbach, :S [10:05] 2000 ckz *RING* [10:05] ouch! [10:22] hey dholbach [10:22] :) [10:23] hiya huats :9 [10:43] does anybody can have a look at 180223 [10:43] I need some sponsoring there....

[11:33] norsetto !!! [11:33] huats!!! [11:33] norsetto !!! [11:34] huats: I've seen many sponsorship requests lately that even failed to build, so nothing surprises me now ;) [11:34] pochu! [11:34] :) [11:40] pochu [11:40] ! [11:40] ;) [11:41] it is not my kind :) [11:41] (well I guess an error can happen but I use to test everything...) [11:42] (and if I want to become a MOTU one day, I have to take great care of my sponsorhip requests.... so let's start from the beginning) [11:44] that's a very inteligent position :) [11:44] maybe a merge for something in main wasn't the best place to start a packaging career [11:44] when is the next revu day? [11:45] oh, on a related note, what's the explicit policy regarding updates & backports for packages in main? [11:45] for backports, same as for universe [11:45] !sru [11:45] Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [11:46] slytherin: no idea, ask nixternal :) [11:52] backports are for "primarily desktop applications"? [11:53] directhex: not necessary, as long as you follow the policy and jdong is willing to put effort you can request backport for any application. :-) [11:55] i'll wait until (if?) the intrepid package gets merged before i bug him [12:13] huats: I have got some boring stuff you may want to help with? [12:14] we're advertising boring stuff now? [12:14] Hobbsee: marketing strategy [12:15] norsetto: i figured, but do you think it'll work? [12:15] Hobbsee: what you don't know is that I have a bottle of Armagnac on the other hand ... [12:15] norsetto: ahhhh. [12:16] norsetto: my Long Pointy Stick of DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!™ conquers it, like it does anything else, so i don't need to worry, but i see your point.

Or should that change be dropped in order to do a sync? [12:24] nhandler: has this been reported to debian? [12:25] norsetto: The patch from the last Ubuntu version was submitted to Debian [12:26] norsetto: :( :( :( I'm here :P But I'm less stupid as you suggested ;) [12:26] hoi sistpoty|work [12:26] nhandler: and? Do they give a reason for not including it? [12:26] hi sebner [12:26] norsetto: sure [12:26] if I can [12:26] sebner: :-) [12:27] sorry for the delay, I was away (I need some food :)) [12:27] huats: I thoughts so ;-) We are almost finished with the ocaml transition, all that is left is few packages which needs a rebuild test [12:28] sure [12:28] I'll have a look at it [12:28] ... [12:28] do you have any pointer ? [12:28] they allow food in the dungeon? [12:28] huats: you will find them in ubuntuwire, they show up as depends failed [12:28] :) [12:28] ok [12:28] I will [12:29] I'll have a look in the afternoon [12:29] huats: sure, thanks for helping [12:29] norsetto: my pleasure :) [12:29] huats: and now I think _I_ go to eat something [12:30] norsetto: how many bugs are still open? [12:30] norsetto: nope, too many. no food for you. *cracks whip* [12:30] Hobbsee: only about 50 000 [12:30] definetly too many. fix the bugs instead of food. [12:31] * ajmitch is waiting for Hobbsee to fix the rest [12:31] surely you'll be leading by example [12:32] ajmitch: no, i lead by cracking the whip and such. [12:33] ajmitch: anyway, quiet you, else i'll go back to handing you 10x diffs at a time for you to upload. [12:33] but you can upload them yourself! [12:33] * ajmitch has this wonderful mail folder called /dev/null [12:33] i know, but it's more fun to make you do them. [12:34] good luck there [12:34] * norsetto <- food [12:36] <\sh> phew [12:37] <\sh> hard day [12:39] s/hard/hot/ for me *sweat* [12:41] * Hobbsee dumps the two of you in the ocean. [12:41] thanks, Hobbsee [12:42] sistpoty|work: you're welcome. cooler now? [12:42] indeed :) [12:44] So norsetto, do you have an answer about whether or not adding dh_icons is significant enough to need a merge? Or should it be dropped for a sync? [12:45] last i knew, it should be merged still [12:47] Hobbsee: Ok, thanks. I'll upload the debdiff. Worst case scenario is that it isn't used, and the package is synced instead [12:48] nhandler: it's a change which makes the gnome cache more efficient, so i don't think it's something that we want to get rid of [12:48] nhandler: although a dh_iconcache --> dh_icons change is fine, fyi [12:49] Hobsee: The actual change was adding dh_iconcache. I was told that it was obsolete (on a previous merge), so I replaced iot with dh_icons. [12:50] (it doesn't only make it more efficient, but in some cases there are icons which aren't even shown if dh_icons isn't used) [12:54] Hobsee: RainCT: Thanks for your help. I submitted a debdiff for the package [12:54] RainCT: ah, i stand corrected. [12:55] btw, needs-packaging bugs (which are being reviewed on REVU) shouldn't have u-u-s subscribed, or? [12:55] (there are some in the sponsors queue) [12:55] don't ask me, i'm not the head anymore :) [12:55] check what the doc says [14:31] woo, won my gpl violation complaint [14:34] who was breaking it? [14:34] taiwanese tv card manufacturer Compro [14:35] rofl [14:42] can anyone explain why ff3 was removed this morning? or point to a ticket giving a good reason. if i remember the release notes for 8.04 firefox3 was part of the plan... . [14:42] * erUSUL joins pdlnhr1 in the question [14:43] and i add why the same happened to me with openoffice.org packages (among other things that went as dependencies) [14:44] pdlnhr1: Removed? [14:44] http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/804features/ [14:45] yeah... firefox3 was removed this morning on update [14:45] some translation pack packages are being held on my amd64 at the moment - if I'd dist-upgrade now, it's remove a bunch translation packages - is that the problem you're talking about? [14:46] I didn't think update-manager would let you remove things.. [14:46] no, it shouldn't [14:46] Oh, you're apt-get dist-upgrading? [14:46] soren: it came through as a partial-upgrade [14:47] nope... i clicked the little update icon in the corner [14:47] i am not the only one erUSUL had the same experience [14:48] dholbach: yeah a bunch of packages included firefox 3 and openoffice.org packages (with language packs and another related packages) [14:49] i thought ff3 was a feature of 8.04 which if i recall is LTS which is why we waited to upgrade till now, and it took a while to get all the plugins working correctly again in ff and to have it just remove REALLY sucked... just seems bad form to me [14:49] soren: if you accet the so called "partial upgrade" it will do [14:49] accept* [14:49] what does dpkg -l firefox say? [14:50] dholbach: can i paste here¿? [14:50] just the last line [14:50] http://pastebin.com/m535f62d4 [14:51] weird - it was really removed - very weird [14:52] i just d/l'd it to ~home/firefox and created a symlink but till this is resolved... i can not let any of my devolpers upgrade their machines [14:53] what happens if you run sudo apt-get install firefox3 ? don't press enter - just see what the upgrader wants to do [14:53] E: Couldn't find package firefox3 [14:53] hu?! [14:53] can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list? [14:53] yup [14:54] pdlnhr1, erUSUL: are you running -proposed? [14:55] dholbach: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 just wroked !@#!@# [14:55] pochu: yep [14:55] http://pastebin.com/d244764b4 [14:55] erUSUL: which packages did it want to remove or change? [14:55] right, that's because xulrunner 3.0rc1 / firefox3.0 rc1 and many other packages have been updated there, and they weren't/aren't built yet [14:55] dholbach: know i only have to reinstall the language packas openoffice.org and what not :| [14:56] i am not anymore... because i don't want it to happen again.. but up to an hour ago i was running proposed [14:56] either don't update until it doesn't want to remove anything, or don't use -proposed :) [14:56] dholbach: hard to say or remember and i do not run "script" ... [14:56] erUSUL: use "gksu gnome-language-selector" it should do it all for you [14:56] dholbach: i know... ;) [14:56] (or use update-manager) [14:57] the problem with the language stuff in -proposed should be shaken out in some hours [14:57] I'd suggest what pochu said [14:57] pochu: update-manager does remove the packages and the proposed packages that depend on other packages has to be uploaded at once if not people can not test the packages [14:58] erUSUL: oh, it removes packages? that's weird [14:58] pochu: it offers what it calls a "Partial Upgrade" and if you accept it removes the packages [14:59] ah, indeed [14:59] pochu: it is true that doing dist-upgrade just makes things worse :| [14:59] well... i guess it is a known issue now... not much i can do about it... ill have to wait till they re add it to the repos [14:59] but i won't be doing any updates on any of our developers machines for a while [14:59] luckily end users aren't supposed to use -proposed, and you guys know how to fix things :) [15:00] and this won't (shouldn't) happen in -updates [15:00] pochu: yeah.. but it alows us to test out software and file bug reports [15:00] i guess it is a catch 22 [15:00] pdlnhr1: right, I guess update-manager could be more verbose when it's going to remove packages... [15:01] pochu: well... not much else to be said on the subject... thanks for letting me vent... i will keep an eye out for it to be re added [15:03] pochu: it does says that it will remove packages but how do i know if that's a required step on the "Partial Upgrade" thing or is just a defect on update manager?? [15:04] erUSUL: good point. I guess it could tell what packages it's going to remove. does that make sense? [15:05] erUSUL: so in this case you would have seen it was going to remove firefox and you would have canceled the update [15:05] pochu: it tells you... but only after it had started the partial upgrade [15:06] personally.. i thought it was going to replace it with RC1 [15:06] pochu: the fact is that i saw that it would remove this things but i though (and i guess i was not the only one) that the removing of this packages was a needed step on the "Partial Upgrade" [15:08] pochu: the gui of the partial upgrade is like the one you face on a dist-upgrade and in a dist-upgrade packages get removed . i just though that this was a similar case (packages will be removed and others newly installed) === Zic_ is now known as Zic [15:12] erUSUL, pdlnhr1: ok, thanks for your feedback. I've told about this issue to the maintainer of update-manager and he can reproduce it, so hopefully he will be able to fix/improve it. I've also forwarded your commends to him [15:13] pochu: thanks.... have a great day all.... [15:16] pochu: thanks; much apreciated [15:18] trying to build a java package, I run into "You must specify a valid JAVA_HOME or JAVACMD!" while I use debuild -S -sa [15:18] does anybody has faced that before ? [15:21] huats: you probably use java in the clean target, and the java executable want's the JAVA_HOME env variable set [15:23] anybody using hardy + vinagre? [15:24] how do i request a backport, if a small dependency change is needed in debian/controls ... do a normal backport request and attach the debdiff? and what should the version numbering then be? [15:25] a|wen: it is using java in the clean target [15:25] a|wen: what's that change? maybe a backport of another package avoids needing to change it [15:25] so I need to have JAVA_HOME set in my env ? [15:27] pochu: it's libqt4-dev ... ahh, but I see that a correct version is already in backports, then it should be okay, or? [15:28] I think so [15:28] but I'm not a backporter :) [15:28] huats: i should think so; are you running debuild using sudo, then that might be why you don't have it [15:28] pochu: he :) ... do you know if the PPA's include backport packages, so I can test if it builds? [15:29] a|wen: they don't. [15:30] * a|wen considers making himself a backport pbuilder to hardy [15:31] a|wen: no [15:31] a|wen: using my regular user [15:32] huats: then you might have luck setting a JAVA_HOME env variable [15:34] pochu: I have corrected the gnome-subtitles debdiff to include the maintener field [15:34] ... [15:34] a|wen: I'll do it [15:39] So I merged the LTP package for Hardy, which has been orphaned by Debian. A couple of Debian guys responded to a post of mine, asking if I would be willing/interested in taking over maintenance of the Debian. What's involved with Debianizing an Ubuntu package? [15:40] kirkland: not a lot if it is already in Debian [15:40] james_w: yup, already in Debian [15:40] james_w: just several years out of sync with mainline [15:40] it's just a matter of watching over bug reports, packaging the new upstream releases and finding a sponsor for them. [15:40] james_w: the Ubuntu one is several years more modern [15:41] ah, in that case testing the Ubuntu packages on Debian and getting a sponsor to push them back is probably a good start. [15:41] james_w: my question is more about what I need to do to the Ubuntu package to prepare it for upload to the Debian repo [15:42] whatever it takes to make it work there :-) [15:42] some people would want to see a non-Ubuntu version number to sponsor it. [15:42] others would want no reference to Ubuntu in the changelogs, but that's a bit silly. [15:43] the other thing would be updating Maintainer: in debian/control to be you. [15:43] james_w: okay, those 2 things are easy [15:45] the only other thing would be Debian policy things, but your changelog doesn't hint about anything bad in that area. [15:45] james_w: right, okay [16:03] dholbach: ping [16:04] pong [16:04] bobbo: pong - about to leave in a bit though [16:04] dholbach: it'll be quick :) [16:04] dholbach: in Bug #195196, when i upload the fixed version should i upload a debdiff against the old Ubuntu version or the new diff.gz?

Also, I just discovered how you right click in Synaptic to see recommended/suggested packages [16:28] lukehasnoname: I can use debconf to ask if user want to install gmcs or not, I think this is the best think to do [16:29] Eh, I suppose that does maximize user control. I personally can't see why someone would want the IDE without the *only* compiler for the language.

[16:59] hi bddebian [17:00] Hi Iulian, sistpoty|work [17:11] who owns http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/index.py ? [17:11] very minor feature request for http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/lostpw.py [17:11] gpg -d < ..... [17:12] could use an EOT at the end of that page [17:12] kirkland: best ask RainCT about changes [17:12] such that the copy and paste works completely [17:12] RainCT: ^^^ [17:12] otherwise, it's a kickass lost-password process ;-) [17:13] kirkland: Yep, I wish other sites did exactly the same [17:13] * RainCT reads the log [17:13] however they don't ask for keys. [17:14] jpds: true. for the gpg-savvy among us, there are directories like pgp.mit.edu [17:14] I am making a new package for intrepid, which depends on libqt4-dev version 4.4. However, the intrepid package is only 4.3.4. Not sure where to go from here, any pointers? [17:14] kirkland: true.. thanks for the notice :) [17:14] RainCT: you bet, nice job. [17:15] mathiaz: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=ubuntu-virt [17:15] soren: also, you might have a look at my REVU for the ubuntu-virt-* metapackages: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=ubuntu-virt === cprov is now known as cprov-out [17:22] kirkland: done [17:22] sistpoty|work, siretart: shout if you don't like the change :P [17:22] RainCT: cool, thanks [17:24] (^ those are the real REVU devs, btw; I joined the team recently) [17:24] ScottK: hello [17:25] * sistpoty|work hides [17:25] thanks RainCT :) [17:25] Does anyone know of anywhere I could get some information about when/if it will be upgraded? [17:26] heh, sure thing :) [17:26] DRebellion: Try asking in #kubuntu-devel [17:26] Amaranth, ok, will do. [17:27] RainCT: sounds good, go ahead! [17:28] siretart: (I think he has done it) ;) [17:30] great [17:41] Hi, is there someone willing to help me to build ekiga SVN on lpia arch? -> http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1977524&group_id=204472&atid=989748 packs here: https://launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive [17:41] Sourceforge bug 1977524 "PTLIB fails to buid in lpia arch" [Pri: 5,Open] [17:55] * sistpoty|work heads home [17:55] cya [18:04] does packages.ubuntu.com get updated automatically? [18:04] or is it a static page? [18:07] lukehasnoname: I can't imagine someone sitting there and updating all the pages manually, so I'd say it's reads some sort of database that get's updated at intervals [18:07] lukehasnoname: I think it's static but it's being automatically updated periodicallu [18:07] On the websites, python-numeric and python-numarray both state to be superseded by NumPy. Is it Ubuntu policy to allow the deprecated modules as (possible) replacements for Numpy?? [18:07] (but I don't really know so don't trust me too much) [18:08] I'm currently building a package with CDBS and I have a app.install and app.docs. [18:08] if I want to add two scripts to /etc/acpi/{battery.d,ac.d} should those be added to app.install? [18:08] Zelut: yes [18:09] RainCT: can you point me to anything regarding app.*? ie; what other app. options are there? [18:10] look at dh_* manpages [18:10] e.g. dh_install, dh_installdocs... [18:10] Zelut: app.manpages for instance [18:10] I think that is the last thing I need to complete my package, is man pages.. [18:11] Zelut: (and for other ones do what pochu just said.. but iirc there aren't many more) [18:11] RainCT: does app.manpages use the same format as app.docs? as in just list the files, not the destinations? [18:11] Zelut: yes [18:11] Zelut: btw, if the source does only produce one binary package you don't need the app. prefix [18:11] ok, I guess I need to finish building the man page and I may have a package for submission for Intrepid [18:12] rainct thanks [18:14] lukehasnoname: no, thank *you* for your feedback :) [18:14] on a somewhat related note to the /etc/acpi/ question. Does anyone know the order of upstart/rc.d vs /etc/acpi, etc? [18:18] mainly I want to make sure the init script created by the package will not run after the acpi events, ya know [18:26] kirkland: and I'm not sure you need the uploaders field in the control file. [18:26] mathiaz: okay [18:27] mathiaz: leave it out entirely? [18:27] mathiaz: I was following a couple of other metapackages i found [18:27] kirkland: http://www.googlubuntu.com/ [18:27] kirkland: is that almost like the search engine you wrote? [18:27] nxvl: yeah, looks similar [18:27] kirkland: (btw, you have a lot of picture to upload) [18:27] nxvl: you still in Paris? [18:27] nop [18:28] i'm back in Prague [18:28] nxvl: oh, dude, please please please tell me you picked up my camer? [18:28] camera? [18:28] nxvl: shite [18:28] you lost it? [18:28] if you want i can ask in the hotel [18:28] nxvl: yeah, remember we were hanging out on Friday night around the piano? [18:28] nxvl: please do [18:28] (or you call and i go and pick it up) [18:28] oh [18:28] yes i saw it [18:28] nxvl: red jacket, and black Kodak camera [18:28] and left the bottle of pisco in there for you [18:28] nxvl: :-) [18:29] RainCT: if I'm adding files to /etc/acpi should I add acpi-support as a depends? [18:29] nxvl: anyway, please, please ask at the hotel for it [18:29] i thought you will be back to pick your stuff [18:29] ok [18:29] i will try to go there [18:29] or al least call [18:29] nxvl: many, many thanks. [18:29] nxvl: i'm trying to find an email address for a manager there, no luck yet [18:29] nxvl: I asked on checkout, but i didn't get much help, it was really busy [18:30] kirkland: http://towers.corinthia.cz/hotel/en/contacts/ [18:30] nxvl: wow, how did you find that? [18:30] :-) [18:31] kirkland: go to the web page, and click in "contacts" in the bottom of the page [18:31] nxvl: jeez, i swear i looked for that... anyway [18:31] heh [18:31] nxvl: yeah, that search engine is very similar [18:31] nxvl: i'll note that it does support the filters/refinements like mine does [18:31] when you are desesperate you never find whet you look for [18:32] nxvl: yeah, i'm pretty desperate about getting my pictures off of that camera [18:32] nxvl: i'm even willing to forgo the camera at this point, if i can at least get the pictures off of it [18:32] Zelut: possibly, but I don't really know [18:33] my flight leaves tomorrow at 2:40, so i will try to at least call [18:33] kirkland: if you have news send me an email if i'm not here === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [18:33] nxvl: thanks, i'm emailing them now === boomer` is now known as boomer [18:34] is this anything to worry about?

[18:37] geser: it does not complain about the other files that are being put in place in usr/bin.. [18:38] then you can probably ignore it [18:38] kirkland: i was just sleeping there because i offer my bed to some guy because i was leaving at 3 am [18:46] can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong to get this error in uploading to PPA? [18:46] MD5 sum of uploaded file does not match existing file in archive [18:46] this is a -0ubuntu2 updated package [18:47] mathiaz: so should I fix those two things and upload an update to REVU? [18:47] Zelut: did you used an different .orig.tar.gz than for -0ubuntu1? [18:48] geser: I didn't think so, but I'm going to go back and check.. [18:48] mathiaz: any other feedback while I'm making changes? [18:52] geser: that must have been it. accepted now. [19:02] kirkland: can we write a driver that sends a small shock through the internet maybe even an RFC === cprov-out is now known as cprov [19:10] zul: sounds intriguing! [19:31] mok0: ehm. how can I attach icon at the wikipage? [19:54] is there any documentation on Watch files? I cant find any on the wiki [19:55] bobbo: which wiki? [19:56] bobbo, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#head-50e9a6c8dba7adaa78d9903fa13d4513f32e290c [19:56] bobbo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/DebianWatch [19:56] slytherin: was talking about the Ubuntu Wiki, but im obviously blind :D [19:56] thanks thekorn Iulian LD [19:56] sebner: In that little pull-down menu [19:57] bobbo: It's the same page. :) [19:57] bobbo: in case you don't find the page matching to search term you should do full text search [19:57] .. [19:57] Or google it should be good as well. [19:57] bobbo: re watch files for sf.net, pls. have a look at the uscan man page ;-) [19:59] bobbo: if you need help, let me know [19:59] norsetto: thanks a lot :) [19:59] bobbo: no, thanks to you for your help [20:00] sebner, pull down menu at the top called "More Actions:" [20:02] norsetto: o/ [20:02] emgent: X/ [20:03] woow, new style? [20:03] somebody ought to tell Canonical employees to not use xls attachments .... [20:04] hahhaha [20:05] mok0: thx [20:05] norsetto: wth? === DrKranz is now known as DktrKranz [20:17] kees: hey, so I installed Debian unstable in a KVM, and dgot the Ubuntu ltp sources [20:17] kees: I fixed up the debian/changelog, bumping up the version, and noting the migration from Ubuntu to Debian [20:18] kees: and I fixed the control file, setting the maintainer to myself (as the previous maintainer is AWOL) [20:18] kees: I'm testing a build in the Debian KVM now [20:19] kees: and I'll follow that up with a test run [20:20] kees: once those two are a-okay, I assume I need to build a signed source package and put them somewhere that the debian guys can get them? [20:21] kirkland: what are you trying to do exactly? [20:21] slytherin: the ltp package in Debian has been orphaned [20:21] slytherin: i merged Ubuntu's ltp package up to semi-current upstream release for Hardy [20:22] kirkland: so you are trying to to get Ubuntu's package in Debian? [20:22] slytherin: well, it's more like i'm offering to take over maintainership of the Debian package [20:22] kirkland: Ok. [20:23] slytherin: and starting that out by updating the Debian unstable ltp package to something more modern, based on the work i already did for the ubuntu package [20:23] slytherin: which is 2+ years newer than the newest debian ltp package [20:24] hmm [20:24] slytherin: i got a pair of emails from Debian saying "This package has been orphaned. If you still want to collaborate, please [20:24] prepare an upload for Debian and take over the package's maintenance. [20:24] " [20:26] kirkland: Ok. I was just confused what were you trying to do. By the way you can simply create a pbuilder chroot for debian instead of installing Debian in kvm [20:26] slytherin: right, i keep around a nice selection of interesting KVM's anyway ;-) [20:28] kirkland: an orig+dsc+diff should be fine. [20:29] kirkland: you'll also want to toss the Ubuntu changes, and make sure it's "Debian only" changelog items. [20:29] kirkland: (the idea being to get a "clean" version into Debian) [20:32] kees: hmm, i looked at the changelog and I figured that Debian would want all of the fixes that you and i added in the hardy release cycle [20:32] kees: those changes are of value to debian-and-debian-derivatives, IMHO [20:37] kirkland: right, I don't mean remove the details, I mean swap things around so there isn't an Ubuntu revision listed. Just roll everything up into a new single debian changelog [20:37] *changelog entry [20:37] kees: ah, gotcha [20:37] kees: okay, i just made one new one at the top saying that [20:37] kees: i can collapse the top 3 then into one [20:43] OT, does someone know of an easier way to communicate with a process than dbus? [20:45] RainCT: what kind of communication? would fifos work for your purpose? [20:46] sending strings to it [20:46] use a regular UNIX IPC mechanisms [20:47] named pipes, sockets, message queues... [20:48] ok, I'm reading about that IPC things. thanks === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle [21:01] kees: http://people.ubuntu.com/~kirkland/ltp.debian/ [21:01] kees: changelog at http://people.ubuntu.com/~kirkland/ltp.debian/ltp-20080229/debian/changelog [21:02] sebner: I don't see your icons... [21:03] kirkland: changelog is missing the -2.1 upload [21:04] kirkland: you can also add "New upstream release (Closes: #420148)." to the changelog [21:04] mok0: I let it resize first .. [21:05] kees: -2.1 upload? [21:05] and "take over maintainership (was orphaned) (Closes: #470091)" === asac_ is now known as asac [21:05] kees: good point on the (Closes: #xxx) [21:05] kirkland: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/l/ltp/current/changelog [21:05] 2.1 NMU on May 9th [21:06] kees: did you received your signeg key by mail? [21:06] nxvl: haven't seen anything, no [21:07] ok [21:07] i will upload it directly i need to tune my laptop :S [21:08] uploaded [21:08] kees: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x1FFF4BA917063E6D [21:08] nxvl: cool [21:09] kees: oh, crap, i neglected that entirely [21:09] DktrKranz: do you know what happened to rospozoppo? [21:10] norsetto, he's busy with university, I guess. Long time no see him :( [21:10] DktrKranz: indeed, too bad he is not interested in Ubuntu anymore [21:11] do you miss his .desktop changes? :) [21:13] DktrKranz: not really, they are all coming back as merges now ... [21:13] heh, need a hand to report back to debian/upstream? [21:14] DktrKranz: neah, they are good to keep for new contributors [21:14] hint hint [21:16] new contributors, please ping norsetto to receive sponsorship for such merges, he has lot of experience ;) [21:16] DktrKranz: I'll be happy to sponsor those ONLY if they are reported back to Debian [21:17] kees: whats the best recommended method to wedge those -2.1 changes in? [21:17] kees: merge first? [21:17] norsetto, are you a DD? [21:18] norsetto, IIRC, I asked him (and some who contributed in a similar way) to do the same, it's a shame to diverge from "mama" for that [21:18] mok0: a destroyer? No I'm simply a TB (tug boat) [21:18] norsetto: .-P [21:18] norsetto: I take that as a "no" :-) [21:18] kees: those -2.1 changes are against 20060918 [21:19] kees: the current package I'm working on is 20080229 [21:19] kirkland: sure -- but you'll need to make sure that a) the missing changelog appears in your changelog, b) whatever they fixed is fixed in your package too. :) [21:19] Debian Destroyer? [21:20] DktrKranz: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/shusn-no/dd-no.htm [21:22] * mok0 likes DD-1 :-) [21:22] nixternal: hey, got a moment? [21:23] norsetto, 404 [21:23] Yeah that server is s..l..o..w! [21:23] It got motu'd [21:24] mok0, DktrKranz: us navy stuff ;-) [21:24] military secrets? [21:24] norsetto: ah, you mean they can't afford a decent server :-) [21:24] we are allies, c'mon guys... let me see! [21:24] mok0: not after scottk left them [21:26] norsetto: yeah all the good stuff is probably in his basement [21:26] any core-dev sponsors around? [21:27] mok0: :-) [21:28] DktrKranz: try -devel [21:28] low traffic in there :) [21:29] DktrKranz: there you are. core-dev's are 9-5 people :-) [21:30] and it's not yet 9am here :) [21:30] heh [21:30] mok0: with a looong midday pause [21:31] * DktrKranz will apply for core-dev, but before... need to finish U.S. White House 2008 campaign successfully [21:32] vote for me, please! [21:32] DktrKranz: you mean you're running for President? === happinessturtle is now known as nenolod [21:32] mok0, I'm not running, I'll kidnap candidates and I'll become the One without too much trouble === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle [21:33] *pling* lamps light up at the NSA computer center [21:34] I own NSA, we have root privileges on their systems, they do large use of Universe repository :) [21:34] mostly amule, they have bandwith :P [21:34] DktrKranz: heh heh [21:35] * mok0 wanders if Obama uses Ubuntu! [21:35] let me see popcon [21:35] we should send him a free CD ;-) [21:35] mok0: don't think so, a good USA president will stand by USA industry monopoly .... [21:35] clinton uses it [21:36] bill, at least :) [21:36] RSM for President! [21:36] RSM? [21:36] Stallman [21:36] DktrKranz: RMS then [21:36] I just switched some letters :) [21:37] smarter, exactly :P [21:37] ;) [21:37] A man with tresses in his beard still does not have a chance... [21:38] Anyway, RMS doesn't use Ubuntu [21:38] which one? hurd? [21:38] I guess [21:39] correction: I guess not. It doesn't work [21:39] :-) [21:39] Actually, he may use Gobuntu [21:39] it works fine as long as you dont want drivers or filesystems bigger than 2GB ;) [21:39] i cant see him not using hurd [21:39] eating dogfood and whatnot [21:40] besides, gnewsense actually does things [21:40] gnewsense? [21:41] ... [21:41] * mok0 googles [21:42] !gnewsense [21:42] gNewSense is a GNU/Linux distribution based off Ubuntu with the aim of containing only free software. The Website is http://www.gnewsense.org - Support in #gnewsense, NOT #ubuntu [21:42] Ain't that Gobuntu? [21:42] mok0: It pre-dates gobuntu iirc [21:43] At least it's not gnonsense lol [21:43] hehe, a play on 'nuisance' methinks [21:43] hehe [22:17] hi [22:17] * ajmitch can finally sit down at the keyboard for more than 2 minutes :) [22:17] kees: okay, ltp builds now, merged changes from -2.1 release [22:17] kees: change log at http://people.ubuntu.com/~kirkland/ltp.debian/ltp-20080229/debian/changelog [22:17] kirkland: \o/ [22:17] kees: everything here http://people.ubuntu.com/~kirkland/ltp.debian/ [22:18] kees: so reading mentors.debian, it looks like something similar to our REVU [22:18] kirkland: cool, once you've got it up on mentors, let me know, and I can poke at it with my DD hat on. Yeah, it's very similar. [22:18] kees: it looks to be more for new packages, rather than an updated package [22:18] kirkland: it's for updates too [22:18] kees: but i'll push it anyway [22:18] kees: okay [22:18] kees: i have an account now === nand is now known as nand_ === nand_ is now known as _nand_ === _nand_ is now known as nand__ [22:44] kees: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/maintainer-packages?action=details;package=ltp === nand__ is now known as nand [22:45] slangasek: i created lp:~kirkland/grub/grub.32216, applied my patch, committed locally, but the bzr push won't take [22:46] bzr: ERROR: Transport operation not possible: http does not support mkdir() [22:46] slangasek: let me try the bzr+ssh method.... [22:46] kirkland: you'll have to switch it to bzr+ssh first before you can push, yes [22:46] slangasek: ah, sorry [22:47] the new lp: syntax in launchpad is not very copy-and-paste friendly :-( [22:48] for pushing anyway [22:49] kirkland: run "bzr lp-login" and it should all work [22:50] james_w: No Launchpad user ID configured. [22:50] james_w: something missing in .bazaar/bazaar.conf ? [22:51] kirkland: "bzr lp-login kirkland" sorry [22:51] or rather your real user id. [22:51] james_w: thanks [22:51] kirkland: bzr 1.4 (intrepid has 1.5) tries to warn you about this. [22:51] james_w: thanks [22:51] * slangasek glares at his computer for suddenly becoming reluctant to spawn new processes [22:54] slangasek: hit pid_max? ;) [22:57] slangasek: sorry, just realized I switched channels on you (again) .... lp:~kirkland/grub/grub.32216 [23:02] a|wen: a little hard to say [23:03] responsiveness of existing processes is also far below what it seems it ought to be given the load average [23:03] * ajmitch must get some flash-blocking addon for firefox, this site is killing my laptop [23:03] slangasek: I found a "propose for merging" link, so I did that ;-) [23:05] slangasek: you could check if your number of processes gets close to 32K, then it could be it ... but must admit, that it is a rare case :) [23:09] kirkland: sounds good :) [23:14] a|wen: 178 processes [23:15] slangasek: that definately leaves some room to the 32K ... i think you're right about the load average [23:23] siretart: still up? [23:24] a|wen: and I meant that it was a little hard to say because it's hard to check the process count when shells are going dead on me left and right :P [23:25] * a|wen wonders what slangasek does to run his box that hard :P [23:34] night people
