FWIW, this wasn't an RC bug (in fact the bug wasn't even in the debian
BTS).  It was however a bug that had been annoying me, and since kdetoys
3.1.5 is already in testing it made sense to fix it while we waited on
everything else.

I think nothing depends on ardour libs or libjackasyn, so if take an
aggressive aproach in killing this deadlock, we can remove those two
from testing and let them back when they have recovered from their
own problems (ardour-raptor-redland need their own set of hints anyway?)

That would leave us with these two problems. Removing
gst-plugins from testing would brake alot, so it seems
out of question. Eight days fingers crossed nobody chooses 
to reupload any packages depending on Jack. I wish I 
could be confident of the timely mipsel build too.

If we are lucky yes. In a longer term we really need a less
fragile way of getting largely interdependant packages timely
to testing.

kdebase/s390 was built - somehow, and I think by hand - so last night
the testing scripts considered meta-kde, kdeaddons, kdebase, and
kdegames as "valid candidates". (This means that they don't have obvious
problems that bar them from testing, but they may still fail if
promoting the new packages results in more uninstallable packages than
beforehand.)

While kdeaddons, kdebase, and kdegames are still waiting for other
things to happen, meta-kde was upgraded in testing. The reason for this
was that it was actually already uninstallable there, so upgrading it
didn't make the situation any worse. You can see at
http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/testing_probs.html that it's still
uninstallable.

As for the remaining things to happen before jack-audio-connection-kit
and alsa-lib can be promoted, which will include kdeaddons, kdebase, and
kdegames:

  ardour needs to be built on arm
  gst-plugins needs to be built on mipsel
  gst-plugins is 2 days old; needs 10
  libjackasyn has just had bug #232605 fixed, which needs to be built
  redland is waiting for perl
  perl needs to be built on m68k, but has problems (#233175)
  spiralsynthmodular is 7 days old; needs 10

Having anticipated that, I worked out an extensive list of the issues 
currently holding up jack-audio-connection-kit and sent it to -release.  :-)
I figured, worry about that first, *then* look at the KDE packages with 
remaining problems.

The good news is that gst-plugins is the only package in the jack dependency 
web with a known RC bug at the moment.  (Spiralsynthmodular was fixed almost 
as soon as I reported the problem.)

Heh -- I guess it's unfortunate that gst-plugins is the one with the known RC 
bug

The other bad news is the nasty state of the buildds, about which I have made 
a big, loud ruckus.  Maybe things will be better when I get back from 
vacation in a week -- I can dream, can't I?  :-)

Add kdemultimedia to that list, when it finally gets built on arm,
(need to increase buildd idle timeout..) it will need the newer alsa 
on arm.

A newer upload of gst-plugins seems to be required in any case, since
the latest gst-plugins does not compile with the latest alsa.

Looks like this was built again with the same version of gcc 
(3.3.3-0pre1) and failed at the same point.  It isn't obvious to me from 
the build error that this is a g++ problem, but I suppose that if it

There's going to be one problem with these two, namely that they both
need newer alsa-lib which needs newer jack-audio-connection-kit than
what's in testing, and some things still need to be rebuilt for that.
I'm inclined to remove some packages from testing to speed the way, but
one of the affected packages is gst-plugins and that's a dependency of
meta-gnome2, so that can't be so easily swept aside ...

Note the date those changed to building, many of them have been in
building state for nearly a _month_. They failed long ago if you look at
buildd.debian.org logs but have not been retried. Someone told me before
that they get automatically retried if left in building state, but that
doesn't appear to be the case. Regardless they have finally started
being retried after sending out this last status report.

This is the biggest showstopper NOW. Has anyone nagged the arm/mipsel admins

waits also for the alsa-lib/jack-audio-kit. no RC bugs thou, just a lot

This looks more like the buildd admin canceling the build (probably 
realized it was using a broken g++). unfortunatly an arm compile *now*
would result kdemm to wait for alsa-lib...

I don't really understand how this debian system build thing works - but I 
have noticed how you have complained about the speed of this buildd and the 
admins several times.

Given the importance - not just to Debian of having KDE 3.1 (at least) in 
Sarge, BUT ALSO to KDE of being seen to have an up to date version on Debian 
just when many of the "big boys" are picking Gnome as the desktop to go with, 
wouldn't it be better to have some private discussions with whoever is 
holding things up and trying to work through with them just how to get over 
the blockage.

You may be doing this privately already - but the impression I get by reading 
your posts is that you are throwing rocks from afar.

The only part of KDE that wasn't 100% ready to go into sarge was kdebase
due to dependency on lm-sensors. I uploaded a fixed kdebase 3.1.5-2 so
now there is nothing left holding it back.

The undeniable fact that other parts of the project are making it harder for 
sarge to be release-ready is no reason for you to make it harder for sarge to 
be release-ready.

If KDE was actually ready to go into sarge except for buildds (which it

I strongly second this idea.  This way, KDE 3.1.5 can get into sarge *while* 
KDE 3.2 is being debugged and tested.  And if sarge takes long enough, KDE 
3.2 can go into sid, and probably sarge as well.  ;-)

Upload all versions of kdebase without the lm-sensors dependency while you're 
at it -- the lm-sensors problems are unfortunately not gonna be fixed in the 
near, or maybe even far, future.

This is akin to XFree86 3.4.0 being uploaded to experimental, but less painful 
(because KDE 3.1.5 -> KDE 3.2 isn't as huge a difference as XFree86 4.1 -> 
Xfree86 4.3)

With KDE not even being built on various archs while in sid already,
what makes you think uploading to experimental will help find bugs on
other archs? If you didn't know already experimental isn't built by
buildds at all.  And at the current rate that the buildds are retrying

Please let KDE 3.1.5 get into sarge.  While I use sid myself, and I am 
definitely looking forward to KDE 3.2, I would hate for the next Debian 
release to not have KDE 3.x in it.  It looks to me like all that needs to 
happen for 3.1.5 to get into testing is rebuilds on many of the buildds.

Of course, I would love for the next Debian release to contain 3.2, but with 
the size of KDE, I will be amazed if 3.2 doesn't initially have some bugs on 
some archs.

I propose that the initial upload of KDE 3.2 be made to experimental rather 
than unstable.  Anyonw who is tracking sid ought to be able to figure out how 
to get 3.2 from experimental.  This would allow some initial testing to be 
done on the packages to make sure there aren't intractable bugs that will 
keep them in unstable for months, while also giving 3.1.5 time to make it to 
sarge.

Well, it shouldn't break anything - the only patch which applies to a file 
outside of debian/ is the patch to admin/acinclude.m4.in, to make the 
configure script's java test find the javac which is provided in debian's gcj 
package. The j2sdk copy of java will be used if it is found first.
There are also a couple of patches in debian/patches that possibly should be 
applied to the main tree as well (one adds an encoding option to javac's 
command line, the other moves dcop.py into the site-packages directory).

I'm a DD but not a KDE developer, so I can't commit to cvs. I guess I should 
probably go and ask for KDE cvs access if I want to look after this in the

Great, you seem to have fixed the gcj compilation stuff.
I have been working on kdebindings packaging myself too a bit, can you
please update your patch against KDE_3_1_BRANCH ?

There are fixes in there for various things like:
1 the kde C bindings are internal binding libs, not meant for external
  use 
2 the various debian language policies all impose certain limitations
  on the names of packages, build dependencies etc.
3 better descriptions of the packages
4 etc

Richard Dale told me he was working on making it work with gcj, but I
have not heard from him since.  Do you think your code is usable for
the general KDE release, or does it depend on Debian only stuff (
which would not be the right thing to do, really, as other distro's
also need java libs linked against gcj stuff, and it makes maintenance
of the debian packages more difficult ).  If so, it should probably be
applied to HEAD.

Also, are you a DD, and do you intend to take up maintenance of
kdebindings permanently ?   Cause that would rock, kdebindings is not
receiving enough attention imho.

That's why you was supposed to do the buildd stuff. I think we're forming a

It would also help when Goswin would have access to w-b. He could do the
minor buildd stuff and let a DD sign the successful builds. *sigh*

Note to all, why don't already know it:
When Goswin would have access to w-b, there would his two 060s and 3, maybe
4 more 060 buildds added in the next few days or weeks until mid of
February. 
I don't know how many of them will become public machines, but usually
accounts are available on request on most of them.

sbuild doesn't update packages if it's not asked to. If you know
beforehand that a package *will* fail to build with a certain compiler,
you should update your build-depends and/or build-conflicts likewise, so
that there won't be a failed build in the first place.

sbuild (the building component of buildd) isn't pbuilder; sbuild tries
to build as many packages in as little time as possible. Therefore,
installed packages aren't looked at (so that time isn't wasted on them)
except to check that they satisfy versioned build-depends and/or
build-conflicts.

Actually, Ingo Juergensmann is just the local admin of arrakis. He

This is my fault; I thought it had built on quickstep, but I seem to
have messed up things. For that reason, it's not in dep-ret or
needs-build ATM (where it should've been). I sent Goswin (see below) a
mail, clearing that up.

[...]

Note that most kde packages are still in the queue for m68k; we've got
quite a backlog currently[1]. That said, Goswin von Brederlow is
building them, ignoring their position in the queue, thereby
special-casing KDE so that it gets built sooner.

[1] due to the fact that we don't have enough autobuilders ATM. There
are more being set up though, so it's being handled.

Nevertheless, having downloaded the alpha noatun package, it seems that
for both alpha and i386, /usr/lib/noatun.la contains a dependency on
/usr/lib/libxine.la.  I'd argue then that, as well as kdemultimedia
build-depending on libxine-dev, we should have kdemultimedia-dev
depending on libxine-dev as well.

As far as I can tell the only thing that uses libxine is xine_artsplugin
which shouldn't be being linked into anything. libxine-dev is already in
the kdemultimedia Build-Depends due to xine_artsplugin using it.

My first guess is that noatun might be built against libxine on those
particular archs, which means that libtool looks for libxine.la when it
builds the noatun plugins.  In the particular plugin where kdeaddons is
failing, the Makefile.am only has -lnoatun in addition to the usual KDE
libraries.  A quick grep in fact suggests that there's nothing at all in
kdeaddons that could be dragging in libxine directly.

An extension of this guess is that noatun might build in xine support if
it happens to finds libxine on the system, but libxine-dev is not
explicitly in the kdemultimedia build-depends.  This would account for
the fact that some archs have it and some don't, and the fact that it's
not listed in the depends for kdemultimedia-dev.

If this is true, presumably either (i) libxine-dev must be explicitly added
to kdemultimedia build-depends and kdemultimedia-dev depends so that
noatun always has xine support, or (ii) xine support must be explicitly
disabled in noatun (hopefully through a configure flag, otherwise
through a build-conflicts with libxine-dev) so that noatun never has
xine support and no unexpected build-depends creep through to other
packages.

Of course this is all pure speculation - I haven't actually had a chance
to downloaded the kdemultimedia sources and take a look.

> quanta

This has been a long-standing problem hasn't it - I'll do a new upload

More, that it wasn't diagnosed enough to fix in a reasonable amount of 
time.  :-(  But kdelibs seems to have built on mips now, according to Riku 
Voipio.  (http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/2004/debian-qt-kde-200401/
msg00344.html)Who knows what was going on with GCC.  :-(  So much for 
#226727.

As for #226738, it looks like it will be fixed soon by a rebuild.

Don't forget the lm-sensors dependency in kdebase.  That will keep kde 3.1.5 
out of "testing" until lm-sensors is fixed, unless it's manually forced in.

I'm really not sure what to do about that, but I've discussed the lm-sensors 
issues on debian-devel.

This appears to be moot, kdelibs compiled fine[1] on mips yesterday.
The gcc version is same, but the building host different...

The m68k porters are also very helpful and are compiling kde packages
by hand as there are various issues bringing all the buildd's
back post-compromise.

The only thing I'm worried about (testing-wise) is the lm-sensors
depency in kdebase. Which I assume you are working on already.

There's nothing new here. xlib6g/hppa for example doesn't[2] work in woody
because of gcc miscompilation, which was fixed[3] in gcc-3.3...

Why aren't the mips porters working on this, it seems to be ICEing on
quite a few binaries on mips... How am I supposed to know how to fix
this issue, aiui individuals still can't log into various debian boxes
(or was that finally fixed). Is the less optimization fix a known fix
or just a guess, and should it be -O0 or -O1. I think I will ask AJ to
just push it through once m68k is done.

The GCC developers haven't tracked it down yet, which means it may well

Why not just Build-Depend on the needed version. If it is not available
it probably will fail at the first time but hey, that's what Dep-Wait is

Yea, that should probably work. Some packages won't really have changed
at all since the packages that are already in sid, since we use branch
patches. Its primarily just an update of the orig.tar.gz and version

FWIW, this is somewhat too great a restriction.
The kdeaddons module build-depends on kdebase,
kdemultimedia and kdegames, but IIRC nothing else.

(As an aside, I would actually expect kdeaddons 3.1.5 to
build just fine against KDE 3.1.4 given the bugfix-only

the module APIs for kate, noatun, etc. will almost

Anyway, this is immaterial since I'm not uploading
