merlin1991ShadowJK: nah it rather returns on read when it feels like17:34
Palimerlin1991, anything about missing kernel-power in maemo package interface?17:51
Palialso all my promoted packages (from extras-devel) still missing17:51
Palimerlin1991, other question: how to delete some package from extras{-devel|-testing|} ?17:52
Paliand it is possible only for i386 arch?17:53
*** Martix has joined #maemo-ssu17:56
DocScrutinizer05Pali: there shouldn't be any normal way (user way) to delete anything from extras-testing or extras repo17:56
Paliwhy maintainer of package should not delete package?17:57
DocScrutinizer05it usually casues problems for users who might already have installed that package, for example you can't restore normal backups anymore17:57
Paliit is not problem17:57
DocScrutinizer05uhuh17:57
PaliHAM normally restore backup without that missing packages17:57
PaliI done it more times17:58
DocScrutinizer05so how's that "not a problem"?17:58
Palirestore is not problem17:58
Paliyou can restore normal backup without that missing packages17:59
DocScrutinizer05nonsense, when a user can't restore a pkg from his backup since the pkg vanished on repo, this IS a problem17:59
DocScrutinizer05extras-testing and particularly extras are generally not supposed to lose *any* package that been there18:00
DocScrutinizer05only upgrade to more recent version18:00
DocScrutinizer05why should any devel be allowed to delete his pkg from extras?? :-o18:00
DocScrutinizer05after all you've put it into public domain and maemo.org only is hosting it18:01
DocScrutinizer05you as well can ask google to delete a hit or cache from their engine18:02
Paliextras not, but extras-devele & extras-testing18:03
DocScrutinizer05you're free to upload never version of any kind to extras-devel18:03
Palireason could be conflict with new package...18:03
Palior that some package cannot be installed due to bad dependences18:04
DocScrutinizer05on extras-testing your promotion meant you're putting a supposedly "perfect2 package into public domain for virtually everybody18:04
Palior bad architecture18:04
Palie.g armel package is OK, but i386 not18:04
Paliand when you promote armel package, some maemo infra auto promote i38618:05
Palieven if you did not clicked to promote i386 version18:05
DocScrutinizer05if you didn't notice that on extras-devel, then we should remove *you* from devel accounts, not your *pkg* from extras-testing18:05
DocScrutinizer05bottom line: there's no devel/user option to delete anything from any repo. You need to ask repo maintainers to do it for you18:06
DocScrutinizer05and you will have to take a bit of bashing for what you did18:06
PaliI think that if developer upload new version of some package to extras-devel and after weak some testers report critical (which developer did not saw before), he should be able to remove binary deb package from extras-devel immediately to do not break other devices...18:09
DocScrutinizer05you are free to upload a new fixed version that overrides the former version18:09
Palifor sure packages are free (and other people can still compile it/download) but there should be way to temporary disable/remove bad version until developer fix problem and upload new version18:10
DocScrutinizer05your new version may consist of one empty sourcefile, plus the usual needed debian spicing around it18:10
Palior to detele broken i386/armel binary package18:11
DocScrutinizer05we're not going to implement delete function for repo content18:11
Palisomehing (e.g. HW related or broken due to compilers) cannot be fixed for specific arch18:11
Paliso binary deb package in repo is useless and only increase size of Packages.gz18:12
Pali(Packages.gz is not really yo big)18:12
DocScrutinizer05*shrug*18:12
PaliDocScrutinizer05, how hard is to delete packages from extras-devel index?18:12
DocScrutinizer05not exactly trivial18:13
Palie.g if I prepare list of broken/unusable packages, can somebody look at it?18:13
DocScrutinizer05sure, somebody could look at it, but there's no policy to remove a package from extras-devel, particularly not if there's no request from owner of package18:14
DocScrutinizer05correct way: gain maintainership of pkg if you're not already, then upload a "new version" that has only a "PLEASE DELETE ME!" remark inside18:16
DocScrutinizer05then eventually repo maintainer could grep all packages and actually delete those that have such remark for long enough so any other user or maintainer could have raised objections18:17
kerioPali: having a dummy package is the right thing to do, anyway18:21
kerioso you'll also neuter the package in n900s18:21
Palibut still no way to remove *only* i386 package18:27
DocScrutinizer05err, wasn't there a pretty simple way to specify arch(es) to build pkg for?18:45
DocScrutinizer05if you don't feel happy with the i386 part of pkg, upload a new version that specifies arch:armel only18:46
DocScrutinizer05I might be talking outa my arse#18:46
DocScrutinizer05or rather: if there's a borked package in the fremantle/i36 branch of repo, you need a new source package that builds a neutered version for i386 arch only. Probably feasible by some #ifdef18:48
DocScrutinizer05or maybe simply by specifying arch:i386 only, in that void new version, so fremantle/arm branch keeps the old good version while new neutered version goes to i36 branch only18:50
