Yay! I broke 4k rep! (Actually, I have exactly 4k:

Zanna

Nice work :)

Android Dev

@Zanna Thanks :)

@Zanna - Maybe caused by slow graphics performance? askubuntu.com/questions/834567/…

Rinzwind

@AndroidDev gratz!

Android Dev

@Zanna - Just looked at your profile - you and I joined about the same time. How in the world do you get 13k in 6 months??? And I thought @Videonauth gained rep fast...

jokerdino

It's my second account.

Android Dev

3:16 PM

@jokerdino Uhh.. what?

@jokerdino - You mean Zanna is your second account? Or Videonauth is your second account?

jokerdino

Yes.

Android Dev

@jokerdino So you have 3 accounts?

jokerdino

Good question.

Android Dev

@jokerdino - Arrrghhh.... when mods are vague they stay vague :(

Zanna

@AndroidDev crazy luck, that's all

Android Dev

3:25 PM

@Zanna Can you make any sense of what Jokerdino said?

Zanna

usually

Android Dev

Hrrrmmmm.... methinks Zanna and Jokerdino are one in the same.

jokerdino

nah, she is awesome.

Zanna

@AndroidDev sounds like it, needs more detail shrug

we are just from the same cartoon maybe...

Android Dev

@Zanna So if you're not jokerdino's second account, then his second must be Videonauth. Or, he's just making stuff up.

Zanna

3:34 PM

:o

maybe he is joking around? surely he wouldn't do that though...

Android Dev

Nah, it's not like it's in has name or anything....

edwinksl

i wouldn't draw any conclusions from a username

Zacharee1

Everyone here right now has as least 3k rep

Review the CVs!

Zanna

I did already, and jokerdino is exempt from that...

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander?

Byte Commander

3:41 PM

?

Zacharee1

reviews?

Byte Commander

UTC day is still long...

Zanna

hahaha your imperative tone is making me laugh

Zacharee1

feh

Zanna

@jokerdino must be contagious then ;)

Journeyman Geek

3:48 PM

@AndroidDev I have two accounts >_>

edwinksl

uhoh our CV disciplinarian is in town

Zanna

whip-cracking hahaha

edwinksl

all i hear is evil laughter

Zacharee1

we're below 100 though!

go to UR for 4CVed questions chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/206/ubuntu-regulators

edwinksl

putting 10k mod tools to good use

Zanna

3:54 PM

@Zacharee1 indeed, good work :)

Thomas Ward

o/

Zacharee1

@edwinksl join

@ThomasWard /o

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 i am already on it, be patient

Zacharee1

meh

edwinksl

4:10 PM

i am not sold by your obsession with closing 4CVed questions

Zacharee1

Well they have 4CVs. They probably should be closed

I find the ones that should be closed and post them

then we close more questions outside of the CV review queue

Zanna

There was one I disagreed with and didn't vote...

there's one in the meta queue btw

Videonauth

SOmeone to put a lid on this one --> askubuntu.com/questions/834583/…

edwinksl

video???

Zanna

done

Zacharee1

4:14 PM

@Zanna GASP

@edwinksl yes ?

you back???

@Videonauth!

that im very silent here doesnt mean im not looking at the site

Zanna

:)

Videonauth

4:15 PM

just busy

Zacharee1

lolwat. the CV in Meta is somewhat strange

Zanna

I gtg, later all xxx

Byte Commander

5:09 PM

LOL, 6 people reviewed the Meta CV item: 3 voted to close, 3 voted to leave open... meta.askubuntu.com/review/close/576

Zacharee1

Well it's not a dupe

because neither is a question

they're announcements :p

Byte Commander

I agree (voted to leave open)

Zanna

But they are the same "announcement" or rather injunction

Zacharee1

yeah but it's not like it's helpful to dupe them

user136984

Is there anybody here with any packaging experience?

Zacharee1

5:17 PM

it's not like anonymous is going to get an answer to a non-question

user136984

I've got something rather important that I need to finish by the end of the day and I have an error when building it to try and make a debdiff.

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda I bring you greetings from the Dark Realm

you still got a question?

user136984

@ThomasWard: Right, so I have been asked to backport some patches in for openjpeg2 and when running debuild -S I get the following output:

Zanna

@Zacharee1 I might have to ask a meta question about meta questions... is there a meta meta?

Thomas Ward

5:20 PM

@Zanna it's called /dev/null

Zacharee1

lol

user136984

All patches should have been applied correctly etc, I don't see what I am doing wrong.

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda apt-cache policy apache2-dev

is it installed?

user136984

No

Zanna

@ThomasWard haha I will take that as a suggestion to refrain

user136984

5:21 PM

I guess I should install it then?

Thomas Ward

@Zanna i was just making a (stupid) funny :P

@ParanoidPanda I would, usually debhelper headers and such come from libraries, either -dev libraries or individual dh-... packages

user136984

Ok, thanks! I will give that a go and let you know how it goes! :)

Zanna

@ThomasWard harsh!

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda confirmed the file you're looking for is in apache2-dev, install and you're good to go

@Zanna Typically if you have a question about meta, you should ask about it on meta. I know, metaception, but anything about the site should probably go on meta.

or ask your question generally here

Zanna

@ThomasWard yeah, I was just ~~being stupid~~ joking around too

Thomas Ward

5:25 PM

:)

Kaz Wolfe

Or Meta Stack Exchange

but you'd probably get eaten alive there

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe nom nom nom

Kaz Wolfe

but where do we put meta-meta SE?

like where can i complain that metaSE is this harsh place that hates new users with a fiery passion?

and not lose 250 rep over it

Zanna

@KazWolfe that is a wild place as @edwinksl says

edwinksl

holy crap that ping sound scared the bejesus out of me since i am on max volume with earphones...

Zacharee1

5:28 PM

@edwinksl HI

user136984

@ThomasWard: Right, now I'm getting this error:

user136984

Kaz Wolfe

@ParanoidPanda Ask Ubuntu

you get repz for questions there

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda congrats, now you need the other one

@ParanoidPanda apt-get install javahelper

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 good thing i muted before that :p

user136984

5:30 PM

Ah...

Zacharee1

@edwinksl darn

@KazWolfe lol. Like Mr. 560 questions doesn't know that /s

Zanna

@edwinksl sorry!

user136984

@ThomasWard: All the previous changelog entries said unstable, lintian is now complaining about that, should I change it to the release?

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda exact message please?

user136984

Now running lintian...
E: openjpeg2 changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file unstable
W: openjpeg2 source: newer-standards-version 3.9.8 (current is 3.9.7)
Finished running lintian.

user136984

5:33 PM

And the second error?

user136984

I used pull-lp-source to get the source and it just stuck an ubuntu1 to the end of the version number.

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda if Ubuntu is the target of the changes, then unstable should be replaced with yakkety, etc. and you can adjust your version number as you need

@ParanoidPanda you can disregard the error if the target is Debian

and the 'newer-standards-version' can be ignored

Kaz Wolfe

2

user136984

@ThomasWard: Right, the target is Ubuntu so I guess I should make one for Yakkety and Xenial (the two releases the package is for)?

user136984

Could I just make it into a debdiff now and change the names in there or do I need to do it before then?

user136984

5:37 PM

Actually, it's such a small change, it doesn't really matter.

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda is this for a bugfix?

user136984

Yes

user136984

For a package with no maintainer but random people who want to lend a hand.

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda separate debdiffs, but you need to focus your deb diffs separately

user136984

Right, I am doing that now.

user136984

5:38 PM

:)

user136984

Thanks!

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda you will need separate debdiffs for Xenial and Yakkety, built off the individual separate source packages

because they're different versions

user136984

It was a no-change backport to Xenial from Yakkety.

Thomas Ward

of the patch or the entire version

user136984

Don't I just need to change the version numbers slightly and the release names?

Thomas Ward

5:39 PM

@ParanoidPanda no.

user136984

Oh, ok... But what will the difference be between the two debdiffs if the source is the same?

user136984

I guess it's possible there were some changes, I will have a look...

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda i think you don't know how to do the SRU

@ParanoidPanda start from the beginning

are you trying to backport Yakkety -> Xenial

Zacharee1

Ah, MetaSE. Always fun to browse the negative Q's

Thomas Ward

or are you trying to apply a single patch to the Xenial

user136984

5:41 PM

Ok

Thomas Ward

as well as Yakkety (separately)

Anwar

@ByteCommander I would leave that open

user136984

I have two patches to apply.

user136984

The versions in the two releases appear to be the same.

Thomas Ward

they aren't

user136984

5:41 PM

Oh

Thomas Ward

% rmadison -u ubuntu openjpeg2
 openjpeg2 | 2.1.0-2   | vivid/universe   | source
 openjpeg2 | 2.1.0-2.1 | wily/universe    | source
 openjpeg2 | 2.1.0-2.1 | xenial/universe  | source
 openjpeg2 | 2.1.1-1   | yakkety/universe | source

user136984

Ah

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda so, you have to do two separate source aquisitions

one for Xenial

one for Yakkety

apply the patches individually to each.

Kaz Wolfe

this would make a very good question :P

Thomas Ward

update Version strings separately per wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/… recommendations

debdiff both individually

attach to a relevant bug on Launchpad, and request sponsoring

user136984

5:43 PM

Ok, well, it's only two patches so that shouldn't take too long...

user136984

I just don't do SRUs very often and I haven never done a security one before...

Zacharee1

@Zanna there's some more stuff to close in UR

user136984

@ThomasWard: In the link you provided in the "Preparing the patch" section it talks about having one for -security and one for -updates, do I need to provide two separate debdiffs for this?

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda no, that's for security patching, i only linked that for the version chart

user136984

Security patching?

user136984

5:49 PM

I am patching two CVEs here.

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda SRU only goes to -updates, but you don't target it, you target either ${RELEASE} or ${RELEASE}-updates

@ParanoidPanda that's something you neglected to mention

user136984

Oh, sorry, so how does that change things?

Thomas Ward

@ParanoidPanda changes it a little bit because of version strings, etc.

now you follow the template for changelog entries in #3 on that link

and you target ${RELEASE}-security

one for xenial one for yakkety.

but note that you may want to wait for Yakkety to release

we're in final freeze and Security repo isn't open yet for Y, iirc

user136984

So what should I do for the Yakkety one then?

user136984

Nothing for the moment?

Kaz Wolfe

5:51 PM

make a zero day exploit

then release a zero-day patch

user136984

What about if I just give them the debdiff for both and they can upload the yakkety-security one when that part is open?

Kaz Wolfe

be highly respected by security people eveywhere
