[06:35] <dholbach> good morning
[06:36] <iulian> Morning dholbach.
[06:36] <iulian> How is it going?
[06:36] <dholbach> hiya iulian
[06:36] <dholbach> very good - how are you?
[06:36] <iulian> I'm having breakfast in a minute. ;)
[06:37] <dholbach> sounds good :-)
[06:38] <iulian> Tastes good.
[06:38] <dholbach> yeah
[07:09] <didrocks> good morning o/
[07:10] <iulian> 'ey
[07:20] <geser> good morning
[07:37] <dlynch> good morning / afternoon, I would like some advice on naming a package, where I am the upstream author
[07:37] <dlynch> my code is called "Rapid Photo Downloader"
[07:37] <dlynch> I see there is already a package called rapidsvn
[07:38] <dlynch> I can see why it might be unhelpful to call the package "rapid", since that conveys little in the way of meaning
[07:39] <dlynch> I have no problem with the script to launch it being called rapid-photo-downloader
[07:39] <dlynch> but that seems rather long for a package name
[07:40] <pmjdebruijn> dlynch: what does it do?
[07:40] <dlynch> is it perfectly fine to have a package name 'rapidphoto' and a script called as rapid-photo-downloader?
[07:40] <pmjdebruijn> doesn't be a problem
[07:40] <pmjdebruijn> shouldn't*
[07:40] <pmjdebruijn> dlynch: the point is, what is the package called in other distro, try to keep things consistent
[07:41] <dlynch> pmjdebruijn: it downloads images from memory cards / portable storage devices, renaming and backing up
[07:41] <dlynch> http://damonlynch.net/rapid/
[07:41] <dlynch> it is not yet in any distro
[07:41] <pmjdebruijn> ah
[07:42] <pmjdebruijn> dlynch: with "downloading" people tend to think of the "Internet" instead of memory cards
[07:42] <dlynch> pmjdebruijn: that might be the case, but among photographers it's a common usage for th term
[07:43] <pmjdebruijn> dlynch: I'm a photographer as well, still that wasn't my first thought :)
[07:44] <dlynch> ok very good then you can be one of my early users ;)
[07:44] <pmjdebruijn> haha
[07:44] <pmjdebruijn> dlynch: may I privmsg you?
[07:44] <dlynch> pmjdebruijn: yes
[07:50] <dholbach> hi geser - did you see my libxi-dev / x11proto-xext comments? do you think they make sense?
[07:52] <dholbach> erm
[07:52] <dholbach> hang on
=== thekorn_ is now known as thekorn
[07:58] <geser> dholbach: yes, I've seen them
[07:59] <geser> dholbach: there is already a bug about it: bug 273386
[07:59] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 273386 in x11proto-xext "libxi-dev may be missing as a Depend" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/273386
[07:59] <dholbach> geser: my mistake - nothing to sync there, but I think the bug should be fixed in x11proto-xext
[07:59] <dholbach> geser: I'll follow up on the Debian bug
[07:59] <geser> I've asked in #ubuntu-x yesterday about that bug and was advised to add libxi-dev to the affected packages
[08:00] <dholbach> geser: did they offer any reason?
[08:00] <dholbach> XTest.h includes XInput.h
[08:00] <geser> dholbach: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/03/22/%23ubuntu-x.html
[08:00] <dholbach> it's going to fail for each package that includes XTest.h and does not make direct use of xi itself
[08:01] <dholbach> argh
[08:01] <dholbach> that sucks
[08:10] <geser> so what do you propose to do with it?
[08:14] <Toadstool> good morning
[08:24] <dominiks> morning
[08:24] <dholbach> geser: I'll upload the patches as they are
[08:25] <dholbach> geser: somebody should take it up to upstream though - there should be a clever separation somehow :/
[08:29] <james_w> hello all
[08:30] <james_w> seems like not many people read /away messages :-)
[08:30] <dholbach> james_w: lot to catch up? :)
[08:30] <james_w> oh yes :-)
[09:30] <binarymutant> how does patches.ubuntu.com work? it has a reversed patch in it from me

[09:47] <c_korn> how does it come I am on the changelog of that package? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/apt-cacher-ng/0.3.4-1
[09:47] <c_korn> I did not change anything
[09:48] <\sh> c_korn: did you file eventually the sync req?
[09:48] <c_korn> ehm, yes
[09:49] <\sh> c_korn: that's why...Changed-By: is the entry you see there from the .dsc file
[09:49] <\sh> moins btw :;)
[09:49] <c_korn> moin :P cool
[09:58] <\sh> bah...life sucks...colleague died on saturday, heart stroke, and another colleague became daddy of an healthy boy...
[10:00] <cody-somerville> \sh, I assume your colleague becoming a daddy of a healthy boy is a positive thing, yes? :)
[10:02] <\sh> cody-somerville: of course..but all in all it reminds someone, that life's just too short...we just had a coffee with the guy who died on friday..and now he's just gone...
[10:03] <cody-somerville> mmm... I know the feeling.
[10:03] <\sh> cody-somerville: anyways..back to business...do you know how I can solve xfce in jaunty to work again with floss ati drivers and dual screen setup? gnome just works with xrandr setup...
[10:03] <cody-somerville> \sh, Xfce should just work as well.
[10:03] <cody-somerville> What problems are you experiencing?
[10:03] <cody-somerville> (xfce uses xrandr too)
[10:04] <\sh> cody-somerville: during startup I can see the two mice turning around...and then nothing...I have to sysrq to leave xfce at this stage
[10:04] <cody-somerville> Well, thats odd.
[10:04] <\sh> cody-somerville: if it's just a "rm .xfce" or whatever...
[10:04] <cody-somerville> \sh, Can you pastebin your ~/.xsession-error
[10:05] <cody-somerville> oops, forgot the s on that end there
[10:05] <\sh> cody-somerville: looks like that I have to empty my .xsession-errors first and relogin into xfce...to give you what you need :)
[10:07] <\sh> give me a minute...brb
[10:08] <c_korn> the upload of apt-cacher-ng on sparc fails because of this: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24246535/cb1TWHeZAb1ZYclOUas44ivnbEl.txt
[10:08] <c_korn> what does that mean?
[10:08] <cody-somerville> It means there is a disturbance in the soyuz.
[10:13] <c_korn> hm, same happens for ia64
[10:13] <cody-somerville> Has maybe a newer version been uploaded and built?
[10:14] <\sh> cody-somerville: hmm... I won't get a .xession-error file for xfce...now I just rmed .config/xfce4 and .config/xfce4-session and now it works
[10:14] <cody-somerville> doh
[10:14] <cody-somerville> So much for bug fixing ;p
[10:14] <\sh> right
[10:17] <cody-somerville> c_korn, where did you get that link btw?
[10:20] <c_korn> cody-somerville: there isn't a newer version in debian. I got that link in a mail
[10:20] <cody-somerville> c_korn, Can you forward me the e-mail?
[10:21] <cody-somerville> actually, nvm

[10:39] <binarymutant> how does patches.ubuntu.com work? it has a reversed patch in it from me and I was wondering if I could switch that patch out for the right one
[10:40] <directhex> binarymutant, patches.ubuntu.com just shows patches extracted from the source package in the archive
[10:40] <directhex> binarymutant, i.e. file a bug on launchpad
[10:41] <binarymutant> directhex, I did file a bug in the sponsor queue with a debdiff but the first one I attached was reversed and managed to find it's way to patches.ubuntu.com
[10:42] <directhex> binarymutant, what's the package?
[10:42] <binarymutant> directhex, charm
[10:42] <directhex> charm-1.9.1/debian/patches/01_hyphens.dpatch ?
[10:43] <binarymutant> charm_1.9.1-0ubuntu1.patch	
[10:44] <binarymutant> it came from here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/charm/+bug/345200 originally, but i've updated it there
[10:44] <ubottu> Ubuntu bug 345200 in charm "charm doesn't conform to python policy" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[10:46] <directhex> i don't see what's unexpected here. 1.9.1-0ubuntu2 is not in the archive yet. charm_1.9.1-0ubuntu1.patch is provided as-is from the version in the archive, 1.9.1-0ubuntu1
[10:46] <POX> charm *was* accepted in Debian
[10:46] <POX> and it's fixed there
[10:47] <binarymutant> ^ hey POX
[10:47] <directhex> so it should be requestsynced, assuming matching orig
[10:48] <binarymutant> well I did the debdiff since it was stuck in debian's new queue at the time but I can request sync as of today
[10:51] <binarymutant> should I have kept the name of the debdiff the same as what's in the repo? or should I have changed the version since it's an almost rewrite?
[10:51] <POX> binarymutant: btw, in next version you'll have to switch to python-support
[10:51] <POX> (or find another sponsor ;-P)
[10:52] <Mewcenary> Good morning, everyone !
[10:52] <binarymutant> POX, I've been silently following that thread on the list, and I will
[10:52] <POX> great

[11:38] <dholbach> gthumb and xnee FTBFS unrelatedly
[11:42] <\sh> do we have a list of ftbfs now?
[11:42] <WalterMundt> (crosstalk from #ubuntu+1 since this is on Jaunty; issue may predate Jaunty according)
[11:43] <WalterMundt> I'm starting some dev work on top of libtheora, and it seems the libtheora-dev packages are missing some pieces
[11:43] <WalterMundt> namely (a) theora/codec.h which is referenced by the provided packages are missing some pieces
[11:43] <WalterMundt> namely (a) theora/codec.h which is referenced by the provided theora/theora{enc,dec}.h files
[11:43] <WalterMundt> and -- though this might belong in the binary package (b) /usr/lib/libtheora{enc,dec}.so symlinks
[11:43] <WalterMundt> symlinks with no version are not needed to run compiled applications, but you need them for building with -ltheoradec and -ltheoraenc to work
[11:44] <dholbach> \sh: no, I was just trying to figure out which source packages include XTest.h but don't implicitly or explicitly build-dep on libxi-dev - totally unscientific, and still discussing with jcristau
[11:44] <WalterMundt> all of this stuff is only needed to build apps running the "new" libtheora1 API, which might explain why they haven't been caught yet
[11:44] <\sh> dholbach: do you happen to know when a complete archive rebuild is started? .. I know it's too late in jaunty cycle ;)
[11:45] <dholbach> \sh: no, sorry, no idea
[11:45] <Laney> the release schedule lists one for the 9th
[11:45] <Laney> "Rebuild Test"
[11:46] <\sh> ah .. i didn't see that last time I checked
[11:48] <dholbach> \sh: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-autotest/ might be interesting
[11:50] <\sh> dholbach: yepp...slangasek said just about the archive rebuild for main, not knowing about a rebuild of universe
[11:51] <dholbach> yep, saw it
[11:52]  * \sh runs into every problem someone don't want to have ;) yesterday, I tested system-config-kickstart and failed
[11:54] <\sh> and last friday the regression with dmraid and hardware raid controllers...thx to colin and his fix...but I wonder who is testing real server hardware before a release of our distro...hopefully the chats between HP and C. will change some things
[12:12] <siretart`> \sh: hi there.
[12:12] <siretart`> \sh: did MrFai already contact you?
[12:13] <\sh> siretart`: nope
[12:13] <\sh> siretart`: or at least I didn't read his mail ;)
[12:14] <\sh> siretart`: got his email
[12:15] <siretart`> ok
[12:17] <dholbach> geser: I'll make libxtst-dev Depends on libxi-dev
[12:17] <\sh> siretart`: answered :) so yes, we need FAI back at least for the next LTS (that's a good plan)
[12:19] <dholbach> geser: or rather see if they do it in Debian too
[12:20] <siretart`> great!
[12:38] <WalterMundt> I'm attempting to patch the issue I ran into earlier and test via "bzr builddeb", but it doesn't seem to be extracting the orig tarball into the build tree; what can I do to troubleshoot this?
[12:41] <slytherin> WalterMundt: which package are you talking about? is the packaging maintained in some bzr repository?
[12:42] <Laney> rawr
[12:42] <WalterMundt> slytherin: libtheora @ http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-xiph/libtheora
[12:45] <popey> rawr indeed
[12:46] <slytherin> WalterMundt: I am not sure how bzr builddeb works. In fact I am not used to this 'build-from-packaging-repository' concept.
[12:46] <james_w> WalterMundt: what's the package?
[12:46] <WalterMundt> slytherin: fair enough; if you were using debuild and it had this result how would you proceed?
[12:46] <james_w> oh
[12:47]  * james_w slaps himself
[12:47] <WalterMundt> basically I get in the build dir a libtheora-1.0 subdirectory with just the debian/ directory in it
[12:47] <james_w> WalterMundt: add "--merge" to the command line
[12:47] <james_w> the branch owner hasn't quite set it up fully
[12:47] <WalterMundt> james_w: okay, will they
[12:47] <WalterMundt> er, try
[12:48] <WalterMundt> that seems to have fixed it, thanks :)
[12:49] <WalterMundt> it's compiling now, which is a good sign
[12:50] <WalterMundt> as I understand it, once I get this working, I can toss a branch on lp and attach it to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtheora/+bug/347235 which I just filed, right?
[12:50] <ubottu> Ubuntu bug 347235 in libtheora "libtheora-dev package is missing theora/codec.h and libtheora{enc,dec}.{a,la,so} files" [Undecided,New]
[12:51] <WalterMundt> ouch
[12:52] <WalterMundt> No rule to make target `draft-ietf-avt-rtp-theora-00.xml', needed by `all-am'. <-- said xml file is mentioned as having been removed due to DFSG.  Hmm...
[12:53] <WalterMundt> oh, no, it was a different one
[12:53] <WalterMundt> that one is not mentioned...
[12:53] <hyperair> if it's been removed via dfsg, patch the Makefile.am/in to not look for it
[12:53] <WalterMundt> yeah, working on it
[12:54] <WalterMundt> odd, this is totally unrelated to the issue I'm working on
[12:54] <hyperair> =\
[12:54] <Laney> such is the fun of touching packages sometimes
[12:54] <hyperair> i noticed something very odd the other day
[12:54] <Laney> discovering unrelated brakage
[12:55] <hyperair> a package i got uploaded to ubuntu failed to build on 3 archs out of 6. i emailed the upstream author, he fixed the issue, but before i could upload the fix, all the FTBFS'd archs fixed themselves.
[12:55] <hyperair> i don't know what happened ._.
[12:55] <hyperair> does soyuz ever trigger a rebuild on its own?
[12:55] <Laney> yes
[12:56] <Laney> every now and again all FTBFS are retried
[12:56] <hyperair> i see
[12:56] <hyperair> but it's very strange, the bug was supposed to be upstream
[12:56] <hyperair> something about g_atomic_set being a macro
[12:56] <slytherin> WalterMundt: I believe an upload of gst-plugins-good0.10 has happened after libtheora upload. Can you check that. Because if that is correct then the absence of files has not affected any build.
[12:56] <hyperair> i don't know how it ended up fixed on its own
[12:57] <WalterMundt> slytherin: that's precisely my contention
[12:57] <hyperair> well either way considering that between 2.0 and 2.0.2, that's the only change, i'll just not submit the diff.gz to ubuntu for the time being and focus on getting it into debian
[12:57] <WalterMundt> slytherin: the missing files ONLY affect build which rely on the "new" Theora API
[12:57] <WalterMundt> slytherin: existing code running on the "legacy" API doesn't reference any of the missing files
[12:57] <slytherin> WalterMundt: yes, I just read the link you pointed to.
[12:58] <WalterMundt> slytherin: does gst-plugins-good us the new API?  I don't know, but any reference to theoradec.h would indicate so
[12:58] <hyperair> i just have one issue: there's an ITP filed by someone august last year, and no activity since then =\
[12:58] <WalterMundt> if that's the case, I'm mistaken about anything being broken
[12:58] <slytherin> WalterMundt: I am not sure. I will have to check release notes. Have you filed bug against debian already?
[12:59] <WalterMundt> no, I haven't
[12:59] <WalterMundt> I just discovered this last night; will propagate the bug to debian in a bit since it looks like this package is imported directly
[13:05] <WalterMundt> in any case, thanks to help from this channel, I think I will shortly have a package on my system that meets my needs while any discussion of the bug and the merits of adding the files are discussed, which I appreciate
[13:10] <slytherin> WalterMundt: my mistake, theora is in -base plugins and the last release of -base happened 2 months ago. There is no indication in release notes that it uses new theora api.
[13:11] <slytherin> WalterMundt: and you will get answer here why the build didn't fail - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563718
[13:11] <ubottu> Gnome bug 563718 in gst-plugins-base "Theora check out of date" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]
[13:18] <slytherin> anyone form motu-release team here?
[13:21] <ScottK> Sure
[13:23] <slytherin> ScottK: I plan to bring gst-plugins-ugly-multiverse0.10 (which creates a binary package with only lame plugin) in sync with gst-plugins-ugly0.10 source wise. Will I need to follow the usual freeze exception process?
[13:23] <mehdid> hi, can a non-ubuntu-developer (nor motu) but debian maintainer assign itself a bug in launchpad?
[13:24] <directhex> yes
[13:24] <slytherin> mehdid: why not, if he plan to fix the bug in debian package along with some other bugs then sure.
[13:24] <Mewcenary> On that note, how do I get privs to be able to change a bug priority to, say, "Wishlist" ?
[13:25] <mehdid> slytherin: ok... thank you for the answer
[13:25] <ScottK> slytherin: Yes.
[13:25] <directhex> Mewcenary, ask nicely in #ubuntu-bugs is a good start, afaik
[13:26] <Laney> you need to join the ubuntu bugcontrol team
[13:26] <slytherin> ScottK: Ok. I thought we had some kind of standing freeze for gstreamer packages.
[13:27] <ScottK> slytherin: Not that I'm aware of.
[13:27] <Mewcenary> Thanks -- I am a memeber of BugSquad but I guess that is not the same thing?
[13:27] <slytherin> ScottK: anyway, I will do the needful today.
[13:27] <ScottK> slytherin: The only one it might fall under is Gnome.
[13:27] <Mewcenary> Ah, I noticed the MOTD in #ubuntu-bugs.
[13:27] <Mewcenary> Thanks you, Laney and directhex.

[13:29] <Mewcenary> One thing at a time, you guys haven't got me to superhuman levels in package management just yet.
[13:29] <Laney> you don't have to do triaging and packaging
[13:29] <Mewcenary> I want to do packaging, I'm a developer at heart :)
[13:29] <Mewcenary> But involved with bugs so I can get a better feel for the whole process.
[13:30] <Laney> I just triage bugs that I happen upon while doing other things

[13:30] <Mewcenary> I've mostly been finding them when looking out for 'easy' requests for packaging.
[13:32] <directhex> the great thing about karmic is the release after it is an LTS release beginning with "l". which should hopefully mean lemurs
[13:32] <directhex> lemurs rule
[13:32] <dominiks> Mewcenary: hey, you can take a look at http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ if you are looking for some packaging work :p
[13:33] <Mewcenary> dominiks: I'm not running a pure debian system though, wouldn't that get in the way?
[13:33] <directhex> Mewcenary, nah, working with debian is better than working against it
[13:33] <directhex> Mewcenary, that's why god gave us KVM/VBox/VMWare
[13:33] <dominiks> Mewcenary: im not sure.. but i thing packaging in Debian directly is prefered way :)
[13:33] <dominiks> think*
[13:34] <Laney> yes
[13:34] <Laney> but creating new packages isn't the best way to get started really
[13:34] <Laney> best to fix some of the bugs we already have
[13:34] <dominiks> yeah fair enough
[13:34] <Mewcenary> I did submit a patch...
[13:35] <Mewcenary> Lemme find...
[13:35] <Laney> good

[13:36] <Mewcenary> directhex: I'm a big fan of VirtualBox at the moment.
[13:37] <directhex> Mewcenary, you can learn many packaging semantics by doing a full-on update/test/debdiff for changes you make
[13:37] <directhex> Mewcenary, i.e. prep a new package revision, if needed add a patch system, etc
[13:38] <Mewcenary> I'll keep an eye out for 'easy' bugs to fix, seems to be a bit of a learning curve either way.

[14:08] <directhex> Laney, special exceptions for packages related to rob millan? :p
[14:08] <ScottK> Laney: Generally that's true.  In this case we got ahead of ourselves.
[14:09] <ScottK> Laney: We clearly want the latest Gnash release, so I think it's fine.  It just needs someone to provide it.

[14:11] <Mewcenary> I notice that bug has a debdiff attached, so is it just a case of applying that to the current package source?  Is it 'trusted' ?

[14:13] <iulian> Hello bddebian.

[14:15] <\sh> oh da bddebian ;)
[14:15] <bddebian> Heya \sh
[14:18] <ScottK> Also for a new upstream we want a diff.gz for the package, not a debdiff.
[14:18] <ScottK> That's been asked for but not provided.
[14:28]  * Mewcenary flicks through the Debian list of projects wanting adoption.
[14:32] <soren> Mewcenary: Are you into networky GNOME things?
[14:33] <Mewcenary> soren: Depends... what sort of networky? :)
[14:34] <soren> network-manager-{openvpn,vpnc}
[14:35] <Mewcenary> I use vpnc for my work VPN, so could potentially help.  Unfortunately th ough, I am coming at this with zero package experience other than the walkthroughs and 'playing' I have been doing to date.
[14:35] <Mewcenary> So looking for a suitable project which will help me grow.
[14:35] <soren> Ah.
[14:36] <Mewcenary> So I@m thinking to start small and easy.
[14:37] <binarymutant> Mewcenary, lxsplit is small and easy, and needs to be in Debian/Ubuntu
[14:39] <binarymutant> should I continue with my debdiff plan to get my Debian version of a package into Ubuntu or should I just requestsync it? I've already set up this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/charm/+bug/345200 but my package in Debian made it out of the new queue last night
[14:39] <ubottu> Ubuntu bug 345200 in charm "charm doesn't conform to python policy" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[14:41] <ScottK> binarymutant: Is it in Debian now and does it need any Ubuntu changes?
[14:43] <binarymutant> ScottK, its in Sid now, the one in Ubuntu doesn't conform to Python policy as far as linking goes and has a dependency problem, the debdiff attached to that bug would patches the rules file great though
[14:44] <ScottK> binarymutant: But syncing what's in Sid would also solve it, right?
[14:44] <binarymutant> ScottK, right, I'm not sure which would be easier/faster
[14:44] <ScottK> A sync would be preferred.
[14:45] <ScottK> Either should be quite doable at this point.
[14:46] <binarymutant> ScottK, my first patch from that bug ended up on patches.ubuntu.com too, but it's reversed so I attached another debdiff. What should I do about that if anything at all?
=== ampelbein is now known as Ampelbein
[14:51] <khashayar> ScottK: You remember the pencil upload you rejected a while back? It was due to a mistake in debian/copyright. I was hoping persia would re-upload, but I haven't heard from him in a while. Is it at all possible for you to take care of it?
[14:51] <khashayar> I've uploaded a new package to revu with a proper debian/copyright, as I'm not sure where else to put the package. (http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=pencil)
[14:58] <ScottK> khashayar: If I upload it, I can't check it for New, so better find someone else to upload.  Feel free to ping me after it's uploaded.
[14:59] <khashayar> ScottK: OK. Thanks!
[14:59] <ScottK> binarymutant: Just request a sync and don't worry about the patch is my suggestion.
[14:59] <binarymutant> thanks
[15:04] <Mewcenary> binarymutant: lxsplit, thanks for the heads up.
[15:05] <binarymutant> Mewcenary, np, it's really easy to compile
[15:06] <Mewcenary> binarymutant:  What happened with it then?  I see someone started porting it, and uploaded to REVU, then it all stopped...
[15:06] <Mewcenary> Just want to make sure I don't step on toes.
[15:07] <Mewcenary> I presume recommendation would be to get it working on Debian first, before porting into Ubuntu?
[15:08] <binarymutant> Mewcenary, I started packaging it and then lost interest in getting it uploaded, but if you need a debian or an ubuntu package to clean up I have those packages still left over
[15:08] <binarymutant> Mewcenary, all the bugs are still assigned to me but I can close them or I guess assign them to you
[15:10] <ScottK> Mewcenary: At this point in the Ubuntu cycle essentially no one is looking at New packages.  The preference would be to get it into Debian.  If you do, it'll automatically get sync'ed for the next release.

[15:21] <Laney> binarymutant: you should paste the new changelog entries from Debian
[15:22] <Laney> and the debdiff you posted isn't actually a diff between Jaunty and sid

[15:28]  * dholbach hugs nixternal
[15:35] <ScottK> Laney: But sync requests don't need a debdiff?
[15:36] <Laney> ScottK: That's right, but if there is one it's better for it to be correct
[15:36] <Laney> otherwise it's misleading
[15:36] <ScottK> True.  I'd have just suggested removing it.
[15:39] <binarymutant> Laney, what do you mean its not a diff between jaunty and sid? with the exception of the changelog it should be
[15:39] <Laney> you should have done "debdiff <current version in Jaunty>.dsc <version you want to sync>.dsc" and posted that if you want to post a debdiff at all
[15:39] <Laney> but as Scott said it's not necessary
[15:40] <binarymutant> i'll take it off
[15:41] <binarymutant> if I can
[15:43] <Laney> you can
[15:45] <binarymutant> thanks Laney
[15:51] <Mewcenary> binarymutant: Sorry, got called into meeting.  Feel free to assign the bugs for lxsplit and I'll take a look.
[15:58] <_ruben> superm1: do you recall our little talk some time ago about dkms not being able to pull in the appropriate image/header packages through the dependency system? wouldn't it be better to just drop the dependencies alltogether and just replace then with post install instructions? (i dont think there's a "works for all" solution in this case)
[16:07]  * nixternal hugs dholbach 
[16:08] <superm1> _ruben, i still think the closest to the works for all solution is that the kernel packages "Recommend" the headers
[16:08] <superm1> it will ensure that unless someone went out of their way to take out the headers, it will work
[16:12] <_ruben> superm1: hmm .. guess that'd work for a fair amount of sitations indeed .. getting it to work in the sitation that made me drag it again is kinda hard (without dropping the dep) : pbuilder environment
[16:13] <superm1> _ruben, yeah that's a corner case in dkms' current usage model i think too
[16:17] <superm1> kirkland, what ever happened to that discussion about making all kernel packages recommend headers?  I seem to forget where it went
[16:17] <kirkland> superm1: i dropped it, marked won't fix
[16:17] <kirkland> superm1: i solved it with an informational message in the postinst
[16:18] <superm1> kirkland, so the server team wasn't keen on the extra couple of megs in the installation for headers then?
[16:18] <kirkland> superm1: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/136107/
[16:19] <kirkland> superm1: it was more like 80MB
[16:19] <kirkland> superm1: which was large, on a 530MB footprint
[16:19] <superm1> kirkland, 80MB unpacked?  or 80MB on the disk?
[16:19] <kirkland> superm1: 80MB on disk, after installation
[16:20] <superm1> kirkland, ah i see. that's sensible i suppose when you have such a small footprint in the first place.  well i think this point is going to come up again at UDS this year though.

[16:20] <superm1> kirkland, at least with what i've heard that the -server kernel is going away in favor of a -generic pae enabled 32 bit option?
[16:21] <kirkland> superm1: right
[16:21]  * _ruben wouldnt want a desktop kernel on his 32bits servers
[16:21] <_ruben> then again .. times (differences in kernels) might have changed :)
[16:21] <superm1> _ruben, what about the desktop kernel would cause you to not want it on the server?  other than the name?
[16:22] <superm1> kirkland, so with that happening, i'm guessing the -generic pae enabled kernel will get desktop use cases too, and the headers will make a lot of sense as recommends then too
[16:22] <_ruben> superm1: i was under the assumption that the desktop version would be optimized for interactive use, and server for well, server use
[16:22] <_ruben> must admit i never really dug into the details of it
[16:23] <superm1> _ruben, I had thought the main difference was the task scheduler's default setting, which can be changed anyway

[23:54] <hggdh> question: I am building a webkit with some patches (to test Evolution based on webkit), based on current 1.0-1. How should I name the version?
