[01:32] <h00k> ripps: hello
[03:07] <mase_wk> hey guys, i have some questions about internationalisation and translation. Specifically regarding gettext utilities. Wiould anyone be able to point me to the most appropriate channel for asking those questions ?
[03:09] <micahg> mase_wk: #ubuntu-translators?
[03:11] <mase_wk> ok thanks will try there.
[07:49] <dholbach> good morning
[07:54] <mase_wk> morn
[09:00] <DktrKranz> bdrung, Laney: ubuntu-dev project has been just approved on alioth
[09:01] <Laney> awesome
[09:41] <bdrung> DktrKranz: great, i requested to join
[09:42] <bdrung> DktrKranz: did you request a mailing list?
[09:59] <DktrKranz> bdrung: I did, I have to configure it properly first, though
[10:19] <DktrKranz> bdrung, ajmitch: approved :)
[10:21] <ajmitch> DktrKranz: thanks :)
[11:03] <\sh> siretart: I uploaded a fix to the Volumes.pm problem of ian...send you and him an email
[11:06] <DktrKranz> Laney: done
[11:06] <Laney> DktrKranz: you are fast! thanks
[11:07] <DktrKranz> ssssh! :)
[11:08] <DktrKranz> we've to decide ML title
[11:21] <Rhonda> DktrKranz! gtg backport!
[11:31] <sebner> DktrKranz! new gtg release!
[11:31] <sebner> huhu Rhonda :D
[11:32] <Rhonda> sebner: pffft :)
[12:05] <Laney> http://alioth.debian.org/~laney-guest/bug-reporters.txt
[12:05] <Laney> UDD is fun
[12:10] <Rhonda> What's that query?
[12:10]  * geser should file more bugs in the Debian BTS :)
[12:12] <Laney> Rhonda: I don't think you want to see it :P
[12:13] <Laney> but it's in my home-directory on alioth
[12:13] <Laney> cat ~laney-guest/udd-bugs.pl
[12:13] <Laney> for some reason it doesn't run right from that script though, so I just generated the resultset from psql directly
[12:14]  * ajmitch isn't on that list...
[12:14] <Laney> ajmitch: It searches for @ubuntu @canonical or origin-ubuntu usertag
[12:15] <Laney> Rhonda: try ~laney-guest/ubuntu-bts-reporters.txt, that's just the query
[12:15] <ajmitch> probably because I use @d.o & never use the usertags as I should
[12:15] <Laney> ajmitch: I don't know how you can be classified as an ubuntu person then
[12:15] <ajmitch> I can't, but I don't mind that :)
[12:16] <Laney> indeed
[12:16] <Laney> it's just a bit of fun anyway. I don't think such metrics are meaningful
[12:17] <ajmitch> nice to see how short a script it can be done with
[12:17] <vish> Laney: doing a debian census, are we? :D
[12:18] <Laney> vish: Just seeing what can be done with UDD
[12:18]  * vish has double digits count, yay!
[12:21]  * ajmitch should file more bugs
[12:21] <Rhonda> It's another one of those useless comparisons without enough deeper insight like 16% vs. 1% gnome contribution or 7.2% vs. 2.8% of open bugs with patches.
[12:22] <Rhonda> I always tried to promote for the Debian (website) translation work to *not* look at the numbers because that's a look for quantity instead of quality …
[12:22] <ajmitch> but having 600k bugs is good, no? :)
[12:22] <Rhonda> Unfortunately I regularly have failed to get that point across and people still pride themself with numbers. :/
[12:23] <Rhonda> ajmitch: Neither Debian nor Ubuntu has 600k bugs. Or maybe. Again depends of point of view and how to try to lie with statistics. :)
[12:23] <ajmitch> launchpad karma is a good example of numbers influencing what people do
[12:24] <Rhonda> Actually, it's also easy to cheat your way into karma without too much work done or even _important_ work done.
[12:24] <Rhonda> Usually important work takes longer and gives less karma.
[12:24] <Rhonda> Thanks for yet another nice example for bad number chasing.
[12:24] <Laney> I can't say I've ever looked at the karma of anyone other than myself, and even then only for curiosity
[12:25] <ajmitch> Laney: take a look at the karma for someone who touches a lot of blueprints
[12:25] <Laney> and I doubt that anyone forwards bugs to Debian in order to get up some kind of ranking
[12:25] <Laney> ajmitch: I know it's there, but does it really influence anything or anyone?
[12:25] <vish> ajmitch: yeah , some one recently did that before applying for an Ubuntu membership :s
[12:25] <ajmitch> it does for some people when they're going for membership
[12:25] <vish> ajmitch: of course they didnt get it ;)
[12:25] <Laney> I'd hope that the membership boards can see beyond it
[12:26] <ajmitch> they do
[12:26] <vish> Laney: they use the karma to quantify work , *if* work is based on lp..
[12:27] <vish> but not a necessity.
[12:28] <Laney> That data I just generated is interesting to see who is active in Debian, but I don't think you could use it to play anyone off against anyone else
[12:28] <Laney> it's not comparable to the gnome census thing
[12:28] <ajmitch> interesting to look at though
[12:29] <vish> Laney: nah , i was just kidding.. :)
[12:36] <ajmitch> DktrKranz: going to post somewhere about that team?
[12:41] <DktrKranz> Rhonda: gtg backport is an issue, a patch has to be reverted, I asked invernizzi about it
[12:41] <DktrKranz> sebner: pack it!
[12:42] <sebner> DktrKranz: release it!
[12:45] <Rhonda> DktrKranz: Ah, right, remember you mention that before. My bad memory on the one hand and really wanting it on the other hand are fighting each other. :)
[12:45] <DktrKranz> it's not a trivial change, so I'd like to hear from him before attempting
[12:46] <DktrKranz> sebner: link link link :D
[12:52] <jetienne_> q. any kind enougth to explain dh_usrlocal ? i read the man page but i dont get it. dh_usrlocal is complaining when i do 'debuild -i -us -uc -b'
[12:56] <jetienne_> ok ignored it with override_dh_usrlocal ... lets hope it is not dangerous :)
[14:05] <MTecknology> So.. If I had to fix a broken .dsc file but have all the files, how do I correctly unpack it? Can I use dget after I have the files?
[14:05] <james_w> dpkg-source -x <whatever>.dsc
[14:05] <MTecknology> thanks :)
[14:08] <geser> jetienne: what error did you got?
[14:10] <Rhonda> If the .dsc file is broken, how should dpkg-source -x work?
[14:10] <jetienne> geser: about dh_usrlocal ?
[14:10] <jetienne> dh_usrlocal: debian/neoip-utils/usr/local/lib/neoip-utils/node-neoip.kpf is not a directory <- i got many like this one at the end of "debuild -i -us -uc -b" geser
[14:11] <geser> jetienne: why do you have files in /usr/local/ in the first place?
[14:11] <jetienne> geser: because i copy them there... not sure what you mean
[14:11] <geser> packages shouldn't use /usr/local, it's for the local sysadmin
[14:12] <jetienne> geser: ok. where should i put files which are script, aka not i386 native
[14:13] <geser> /usr/share/<pkg> if they are arch-indep and /usr/lib/<pkg> else
[14:15] <jetienne> geser: thanks it did the job.
[14:15] <jetienne> unusual-interpreter i got a lot of these too. i guess this is normal
[14:16] <tumbleweed> which interpreter?
[14:16] <jetienne> nodejs
[14:16] <jetienne> script-not-executable those too
[14:16] <tumbleweed> if that's a binary provided by that package, then that's expected, add an override for the unusual-interpreter
[14:17] <tumbleweed> if they should be executable, then you need to fix that
[14:18] <jetienne> tumbleweed: how can i override litian stuff ?
[14:20] <tumbleweed> jetienne: you only override if you *know* you are right. dh_lintian can install binary package overrides. source package overrides are found as described in the lintian manpage
[14:21] <jetienne> tumbleweed: hmm ok, well i dunno much
[14:21] <jetienne> i guess i will live with the warning for now
[14:21] <geser> what warnings?
[14:23] <jetienne> embedded-javascript-library extra-license-file readme-debian-contains-debmake-template binary-without-manpage unusual-interpreter.
[14:23] <jetienne> for only the few firsts :)
[14:23] <tumbleweed> jetienne: almost all of those need to be fixed, unusual-interpreter was thone I was saying you may need to override eventually
[14:24] <tumbleweed> (err, not need to, may want to)
[14:24] <jetienne> tumbleweed: i understand. just a matter of priority
[14:25] <dpm> LucidFox, hi, I remember reading in your Behind MOTU interview that you live in Russia. I've been looking at a couple of Russian locale bugs, and I wanted to ask you about your opinion on bug 124987. From what I understand, the patch does make sense, but I would like to have confirmation by a Russian speaker before finding someone who could have a look at applying it.
[15:13] <lucas> grold: it would be nice if you asked me before requesting syncs of ruby packages. I don't think that syncing ruby1.9.1 now is particularly useful
[15:19] <grold> lucas, ok. next time will ask
[16:33] <MichealH> Hi, I am intrested to become MOTU.
[16:36] <micahg> MichealH: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers
[16:38] <MichealH> So how would I go about uploading to universe?
[16:38] <micahg> MichealH: you can't until you become a developer which that link will explain the process
[16:39] <micahg> MichealH: you can have uploads sponsored if you want
[16:39] <micahg> MichealH: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers
[16:39] <micahg> oops

[17:07] <ara> dholbach, whenever you have time: 613016 :-)
[17:07] <ara> bug 613016
[17:07] <ara> thanks ;-)
[17:09] <funkyHat> I'm debuggin epiphany-browser (LP #611787) and I've found that it's looking for /usr/lib/libgirepository-1.0.so.0, but only /usr/lib/libgirepository-1.0.so.1 is there. it works fine if I symlink the new version to the old version though
[17:09] <funkyHat> What would be the best way to tell epiphany to use the new version?
[17:10] <dholbach> ara: isn't time relative
[17:10] <Bachstelze> funkyHat: you can't AFAIK, epiphany needs to be recompiled with the new version
[17:10] <ara> dholbach, hehehe, I can imagine
[17:11] <funkyHat> Bachstelze: yes I know, I've recompiled it and the error still occurs
[17:11] <dholbach> ara: a branch is enough, no need to file a bug
[17:17] <Riddell> anyone heard of Ubuntu Tweak?
[17:17] <Riddell> do we want it in the archive?
[17:19] <bdrung> Riddell: heard of it.
[17:20] <Riddell> bdrung: heard good things or bad things? :)
[17:20] <tumbleweed> apparently it isn't as bad as the (horrific) predecesors, no idea about code quality, though
[17:20] <bdrung> Riddell: no bad things yet.
[17:21] <bdrung> but we should look at the code to check if it's sane
[17:22] <Riddell> apps which tweak the settings of other apps just seem like a bad idea, if the original app can't do it there's probably a good reason
[17:22] <tumbleweed> OTOH, if one of these things can be blessed, it'd make people less likely to destroy their machines
[17:23] <cody-somerville> wow.
[17:23] <bdrung> Riddell: then gconf-editor should be removed?
[17:24] <Riddell> that's a different sort of UI
[17:27] <Laney> I suggest, relating to the ongoing thread, generalising (debranding/customising the branding) and maintianing it in Debian if you wish to do so :)
[17:52] <Riddell> Laney: are you talking about Ubuntu Tweak?
[17:52] <Riddell> cody-somerville: are you wowing at Ubuntu Tweak?
[17:53] <cody-somerville> no
[17:53] <cody-somerville> http://doctormo.org/2010/08/03/is-this-acceptable/
[18:06] <Laney> Riddell: right
[18:06] <Laney> I didn't actually look at what it does
[18:07] <Riddell> Laney: well it's in New and somehow I need to decide if I should accept it or no
[18:07] <Laney> oh
[18:11] <Laney> I can't even figure out its website
[18:49] <LucidFox> Riddell, regarding ubuntu-tweak in NEW, my personal gut impulse would be "ugh, hackish way to do ugly things"
[18:49] <LucidFox> But well... it passed REVU then, I presume?
[18:50] <Riddell> apachelogger: see, I'm not alone :)
[18:50] <Riddell> LucidFox: I've no idea if it passed revu
[18:50] <Laney> automatix had fans :)
[18:50] <Riddell> that was the one I'd been trying to remember the name of
[18:50] <LucidFox> Automatix also had gaping security issues
[18:50] <apachelogger> Riddell: well, I dunno how ubuntu tweak does things but we had a similar tool in KDE 3 times
[18:51] <apachelogger> there are settings that are just to marginal to justify being visible in the GUI
[18:51] <Laney> LucidFox: yes, indeed, that was kind of my point
[18:51] <Riddell> apachelogger: we did?
[18:51] <apachelogger> yep
[18:51] <LucidFox> ubuntu-tweak is in REVU's "needs review", with 0 comments
[18:51]  * apachelogger packaged it :P
[18:51] <Riddell> apachelogger: what was that?
[18:51] <apachelogger> gotta look
[18:52] <Riddell> LucidFox: hmm maybe I should reject it on grounds it hasn't passed revu
[18:52] <apachelogger> Riddell: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-tweak
[18:52] <Laney> Riddell: I'm sure you can find a policy violation in there
[18:53] <Laney> does it modify files in /etc, for example?
[18:53] <apachelogger> Riddell: REVU is not obligatory IIRC, neither is getting two MOTU acks
[18:53] <Laney> indeed it isn't
[18:55] <devfil> it should...
[18:55] <devfil> (IMHO)
[20:30] <ari-tczew> didrocks: ping
[20:35] <ari-tczew> didrocks: you didn't upload my patch in gegl
[21:27] <didrocks> ari-tczew: hum? really?
[21:28] <didrocks> ari-tczew: I had to go to the city center, just see a rejection, let me check
[21:28] <didrocks> ari-tczew: ok, let me fix this
[21:28] <Laney> didrocks: are you aware of the sqlite3 3.7.0 performance problems?
[21:28] <ajmitch> morning
[21:28] <Laney> hi ajmitch
[21:29] <didrocks> Laney: no, I'm not very found of sqlite to be honest, why? ;)
[21:29] <Laney> didrocks: it ruins banshee :)
[21:29] <Laney> or :(
[21:29]  * ajmitch WTB more RAM, this computer seems to be running out of swap :)
[21:29] <didrocks> Laney: urgh :/
[21:30] <didrocks> Laney: is there a particular issue with that sqlite version? do you think we should move to another one for maverick?
[21:30] <Laney> didrocks: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625783 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/612370
[21:30] <didrocks> ari-tczew: should be good now
[21:30] <Laney> I think you should somehow track it for the release
[21:30] <didrocks> Laney: yeah, I'm subscribing to it
[21:30] <Laney> milestone for the beta possibly
[21:30] <didrocks> Laney: do not hesitate to ping me if you get some news
[21:30] <Laney> I mailed upstream, but you should be aware of it
[21:30] <didrocks> Laney: I'll discuss it in next week meeting
[21:30] <didrocks> Laney: thanks a lot for the notice!
[21:31] <Laney> nps
[21:42] <didrocks> ari-tczew: ok, the issue comes from a different tar.gz file, do you have some time to make a debdiff against the ubuntu version rather than the debian one, please?
[21:42] <didrocks> ari-tczew: if not, I'll recreate it manually, but it will rock if you can handle that
[22:09] <ari-tczew> didrocks: Done. Please upload it when you came back from city.
[22:16] <ari-tczew> bdrung: how did you fix ~90 bugs in maverick?
[22:26] <didrocks> ari-tczew: sponsored, thanks a lot!
[22:27] <ari-tczew> didrocks: no problem, I propose cooperate more in future :>
[22:28] <didrocks> ari-tczew: great! looking forward to it :)
[22:28] <ari-tczew> didrocks: are you main sponsors also, right?
[22:29] <didrocks> ari-tczew: yeah, if you need sponsorship, do not hesitate (I don't look at the list often as I'm quite overloaded with work, but if you ping me, it's ok :))
[22:29] <ari-tczew> didrocks: sounds great!
[22:34] <ari-tczew> didrocks: now I got 2 merges remaining in sponsors-queue for main. are you interested?
[22:34] <didrocks> ari-tczew: sure fire away
[22:34] <didrocks> ari-tczew: will probably upload them after A3 though
[22:34] <ari-tczew> one fixes CVE.. :)
[22:34] <ari-tczew> didrocks: alpha3?
[22:34] <didrocks> ari-tczew: and it's more than 23:30 here, will go to bed soon :)
[22:35] <didrocks> ari-tczew: right, alpha3
[22:35] <ari-tczew> didrocks: okay okay, how can I inform you?
[22:36] <didrocks> ari-tczew: just subscribe me to both bugs
[22:36] <didrocks> I'll unsubscribe if it's not my area :)
[22:36] <ari-tczew> didrocks: area?
[22:38] <didrocks> ari-tczew: like kde package and such like X ones, plumbing…, I don't really work on them and prefer people who are aware of them sponsoring
[22:39] <ari-tczew> didrocks: hmm, ok, will try :)
[22:54] <ari-tczew> didrocks: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gegl/0.0.22-2ubuntu1/+build/1902830 why? it built fine on my pbuilder
[22:54] <ari-tczew> could someone look at this? ^^
[22:55] <bdrung> ari-tczew: did i? from where do you have the number?
[22:56] <ari-tczew> bdrung<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has 88 fixes >  http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/bug-fixing/maverick-fixes-report.html
[22:56] <geser> ari-tczew: simple, libopenraw-dev is in universe while gegl (the source package) is in main
[22:57] <ari-tczew> geser: so do I need to drop all B-D which are in universe?
[22:57] <bdrung> ari-tczew: probably due to vlc
[22:57] <bdrung> and some from eclipse
[22:58] <ari-tczew> aha
[22:59] <bdrung> ari-tczew: look at the changelog of vlc
[22:59] <bdrung> :)
[22:59] <geser> ari-tczew: yes, that's one solution (if it works) the other is to get libopenraw promoted to main (-> MIR) (and of course all of it's build-dependencies too if they aren't already in main)
[23:00] <ari-tczew> geser: I think that easier is try to 1st solution ^^
[23:01] <geser> that's also often the preferred one
[23:14] <ari-tczew> geser: can I check easy whether B-D are good for package?
[23:14] <ari-tczew> is it any tool for checking component?
[23:14] <tumbleweed> ari-tczew: test in a main-only pbuilder?
[23:15] <ari-tczew> tumbleweed: and what now? do I need to knock around my pbuilder for one test build?
[23:16] <geser> ari-tczew: I don't know of any. I usually try to look at the component when apt downloads the build dependencies in my pbuilder
[23:16] <tumbleweed> ari-tczew: what geser says sounds easy enough
[23:17] <tumbleweed> but it's simple enough to hack your .pbuilderrc to allow variants (or add a hook that reads an environment variable and updates sources.list appropritately)
[23:18] <ari-tczew> tumbleweed: do you have it done?
[23:19] <tumbleweed> ari-tczew: you don't want to see my pubilder config :)
[23:20] <ari-tczew> tumbleweed: why?
[23:20] <tumbleweed> ari-tczew: also, no I haven't. I implemented variants, and then decided that that was stupid
[23:21] <ari-tczew> tumbleweed: do you ashamed due to your pbuilder config?
[23:22] <tumbleweed> ari-tczew: naah, it's just complex: http://paste.debian.net/82178/
[23:23] <tumbleweed> err, that's not th eright one
[23:23] <tumbleweed> oh no it is
[23:24] <ari-tczew> tumbleweed: I'm too tired for reading this.
[23:25]  * ajmitch just does it the lazy way & has a few separate configs
[23:26] <tumbleweed> ajmitch: I had that, but then I found myself wondering why things aren't doing what I expect
[23:27] <ajmitch> given how little they differ I should probably roll them up into a single config
[23:28] <tumbleweed> bdrung: you asked about unseeded vs universe on th esponsor queue: there are a bunch of unseeded branches that are main, and bug #221363 is listed as an unseeded bug
[23:29] <ajmitch> tumbleweed: that does look to be in universe for lucid
[23:30] <ajmitch> (policykit), that is
[23:30] <tumbleweed> ajmitch: the bug is not target at lucid though?
[23:30] <ajmitch> no
[23:30] <bdrung> tumbleweed: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit
[23:30] <ajmitch> but the bug has multiple bug tasks
[23:30] <ajmitch> policykit-1 is in main, policykit in universe
[23:31] <ari-tczew> jdong: holidays?
[23:31] <ajmitch> sponsoring page may only be looking at the last task listed
[23:31] <tumbleweed> bdrung: oh, I was looking at the hover text on the policykit line in the bug
[23:31] <tumbleweed> it must have been demoted after upload
[23:32] <bdrung> who worked on the sponsors queue? we are down 139 (from ~190 yesterday)
[23:33] <geser> bdrung: someone is "stealing" you work? :)
[23:33]  * tumbleweed has been hitting it a little
[23:33] <tumbleweed> but not that much
[23:33] <bdrung> geser: no. i just want to say: thank you
[23:33]  * ajmitch hasn't been stealing any work there
[23:34] <bdrung> main: 132 -> 110, universe: 49 -> 28
[23:35]  * ajmitch is going to try & focus on doing some work in debian for awhile
[23:35] <bdrung> geser: when i work on the queue, i just keep it at the same level. i sponsor five requests and in this time five new ones are added :)
[23:35]  * tumbleweed needs to do that too. I got distracted from debian after getting MOTU rights
[23:35] <ajmitch> bdrung: we can let it creep up to ~50 or so if you prefer?
[23:36] <bdrung> ajmitch: but only with sync requests. ;) (sponsor-patch is not ready yet)
[23:36] <ari-tczew> dholbach does a lot of sponsoring
[23:36] <highvoltage> tumbleweed: I guess that happens :)
[23:37] <ajmitch> bdrung: sync requests are relatively easy though
[23:37] <bdrung> ajmitch: yes, that one reason why i process them first
[23:37] <tumbleweed> highvoltage: but by sponsoring, I'm helping people improve their development skills, but not applying myself to make debian/ubuntu better
[23:37] <ari-tczew> I'd help in clean sponsors queue.
[23:38] <highvoltage><EMAIL_ADDRESS>has 1 fix" that's so sad :(
[23:38] <ari-tczew> highvoltage: it's you?
[23:38]  * ajmitch is currently raging at python-setuptools being unhelpful, it's not conducive to getting things sponsored
[23:39] <highvoltage> tumbleweed: helping others getting better at contributing is big!
[23:39] <highvoltage> ari-tczew: yep, I guess that will get better over the next few weeks at least
[23:39] <tumbleweed> highvoltage: yes, but it means I'm not working on some big jobs that I should be working on
[23:39] <ajmitch> highvoltage: you've got some time to do some bugfixing now?
[23:40] <bdrung> tumbleweed: you will improve debian/ubuntu in the long run, because the contributor will become motu one day
[23:40] <tumbleweed> bdrung: yes, I do enjoy it.
[23:41] <tumbleweed> ajmitch: jonathan=highvoltage, yes, he got in early :)
[23:41] <ajmitch> tumbleweed: I know highvoltage from long ago :)
[23:41] <highvoltage> ajmitch: it will be some bugs in ltsp and edubuntu that I planned to work on over the next few weeks anyway :)
[23:42] <tumbleweed> highvoltage: that bug I mentioned (#221363) is ltsp-related (and I'm dropping it off the sponsor queue because it's only a patch)
[23:42] <highvoltage> tumbleweed also knows me from long ago :) (well, and recently :))
[23:42] <tumbleweed> ajmitch: sorry, meant ari-tczew
[23:44]  * ajmitch feels old
[23:45] <tumbleweed> highvoltage: back then we all thought you were crazy, using this silly ubuntu distribution... :)
[23:46] <ajmitch> you don't think he's crazy enough now? :)
[23:47] <tumbleweed> ajmitch: it's nice on latops :P
[23:47] <highvoltage> s/laptops/devices with wi-fi/g :)
[23:48] <highvoltage> actually waking up from suspend is a *lot* faster on maverick (almost instant) on my hardware so someone have been doing real good work somewhere
[23:48] <ajmitch> I may have to upgrade then
[23:48] <ajmitch> since I've had the problem of often having resume take a long time
[23:49] <tumbleweed> suspend is semi-broken for me atm. Must find out what the issue is...
[23:49] <ari-tczew> some guy has uploaded a package to REVU, but now he is offline since 20th June. I'd to upload updated package. can I do it?
[23:50] <micahg> ari-tczew: have you tried contacting the user through LP?
[23:50] <highvoltage> ari-tczew: revu isn't a strict requirement for sponsoring a package, so if it's in good shape I guess you can make that judgement call
[23:51] <ari-tczew> micahg: I picked his e-mail adress from LP and sent message by Evolution.
[23:51] <micahg> ari-tczew: k, and no response?
[23:51] <ari-tczew> micahg: no response
[23:52] <ari-tczew> his karma on launchpad says that he has been active last 20th June
[23:52] <ajmitch> possibly on holiday for awhile
[23:52] <ari-tczew> ajmitch: fine, but I want to get this package before FFe
[23:52] <micahg> ari-tczew: yeah, so I guess like highvoltage said, you could take it over, but I'd try to give the user credit for whatever was done previously
[23:53] <ari-tczew> can someone main sponsors take this one? bug 613234
[23:54] <Laney> I appreciate your comments and agree the idea is way past its best. But how else can a newspaper with a plummeting circulation get people to buy the paper?!
[23:54] <Laney> I appreciate your comments and agree the idea is way past its best. But how else can a newspaper with a plummeting circulation get people to buy the paper?!
[23:54] <Laney> oops
[23:54] <Laney> middle click......
[23:54] <ajmitch> 'oops' indeed
[23:54] <micahg> lol
[23:54] <Laney> at least it wasn't obscene!
[23:54]  * Laney blames legacy X11 features
[23:54] <ajmitch> at least you didn't past a password!
[23:55] <Laney> maybe I did…
[23:55] <ajmitch> that would be a passphrase
[23:55] <Laney> pedants, in MY #ubuntu-motu‽
[23:56] <ajmitch> never
[23:56]  * ajmitch hopes that debian NEW isn't moving too slowly at the moment
