[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug
Sorry for misunderstanding I wasn't so clear. This bug is triggered (as Dave said) by moreinformative... patch. This patch has been removed upstream so no changes "ubuntu1" is needed. I personally DON'T want to diverge brances of boinc from debian to ubuntu, the collaboration between those distros is so close, so I don't think we have to diverge. Patches can be accepted into debian if we find a patch here and maybe sent upstream (I have close collaboration with upstream developers too) The parse_error.patch has been a problem for me, since I build with a recipe boinc directly synced from steffen's git. For some reason quilt doesn't apply on bzr server correctly. I filed a bug against bzr https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzr/+bug/998889 So to everybody I personally think boinc can be backported until oneiric with no changes at all. I built it for oneiric, precise and quantal, so for now earlier backports can wait a little bit.

Steffen, the patch reported to have the problem, the 'parse_issues.patch' exists in the Quantal package, and the Debian package (I dissected the package myself, its still there). Backporting to older than Precise may be a tiny bit difficult, but before I help out wiht the backports to Oneiric and earlier, it has to be backported to Precise. I'm working on the paperwork now, but i have to finish fixing my dev environment.

The MOTU SRU team isn't going to support an SRU in this case (because of a version change, according to the MOTUs I spoke to yesterday). They are more likely to be willing to support a sync to Quantal for the Debian version of the package, and then a backport of that to Precise (the repository that will contain the updated BOINC is therefore precise-backports).

I'd recommend you pull something out of my book in terms of your PPA(s): create a staging PPA for you to test your builds in, and then when you have a working one, you upload to the deployment PPA (the PPA the public should use). I find it useful for when you are constantly messing with packages to make em work. I do this for other projects in which I do packaging for them, and it prevents a lot of hassle when the community relies on a specific PPA. Just my two cents on that.

Re: [Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug
Between you and I, I agree 7.0.27 should be in Precise. But the process for updating stable versions is complex, in that unless the fixes also exist in the latest development version, they will rarely push the stable release update. I ran into this with six other packages, so I speak from experience on this: when SRUing they prefer the fixes and the version that has fixes to be released in current dev release (Quantal) prior to the SRU. As a result, 7.0.27 needs to be able to build in Quantal first (which it currently does not).

Re: [Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug
Well, I can't really comment on thatbecause I haven't been able to get 12.04 Release to install on such a system. The desktop installer panics right away, the alternate installer panics on first boot after its done. Its supposed to be my Windows desktop, but I had envisioned virtualizing itsince it died mid-February after automatically installing a bunch of patches from Microsoft, and I had been waiting for 12.04 release to make this attempt. Probably going to go non-Linux, since I want a machine at home now to learn/play with the environment that we're doing virtualization at work with. I did try to push out a 12.04LTS server at work, but got called out when $boss found out someday it might happenbut it'll have to wait until a bigger customer asks for it. The other OS, came about because we support a .gov that has an aging Solaris box...which they like, but had outgrown and its dyingbut they didn't want to spend money on a new Sunoracle server. Plus they've gotten to like containers, and wanted to do more than just that. $boss mentioned he had read about $X that might be something for them to try. Now a couple years later (and 3 less FTEs, including the one that dealt with them and could go on site [even though I lived across the street from them] )that customer has shown up with a new whitebox, and they want us to make it happen.

[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug
Steffen: Referring back to my earlier comment regarding SRU, to update the Precise package (and get the updated version into the precise-updates repository), an SRU request would need filing. I went and talked with one of the SRU team, and they would want a version to exist in the current development version (Quantal) that builds and runs. Then, with that version, it can be SRU'd to Precise. In short, Precise is in a sense 'frozen' on its current version (7.0.24+...) until a version exists that builds on Quantal (of which 7.0.27 does not). I should point out that while I am BugSquad, the decision on Precise updating is up to the SRU team and the MOTUs, neither of which I am. Ideally, though, a version needs to exist in Quantal that builds an runs before SRU-ing to Precise, except on very rare circumstances (summarization of what the SRU team member told me). Given that UDS will be going on today and tomorrow, I am not going to poke the MOTUs or the SRU team about this until tomorrow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Nice to "see" you happy. Thanks also from my side to Lotus, Dave and the folks behind the PPA build demons. Is it working for everyone? The upload to Debian unstable has that patch in that has caused the trouble for Ubuntu. But at least on my machine all the prior problematic projects do work with it.

7.0.26 isn't in Debian, so I'd have to poke around with the MOTUs to get that into Quantal, if not take the source and repackage it for quantal- proposed. Once Locutus can confirm whether or not 7.0.27 builds in Quantal, I'll go poke the MOTUs. I should point out, though, that since 7.0.26 is not packaged in Debian, they may not accept it, that's their decision. If 7.0.27 will build in Quantal, this will save some time and effort. If it does not, then I'll take a look at Locutus' package of 7.0.26, and talk to the MOTUs to see if we can get that into Quantal (I'll do the uploading if necessary), and then see if we can't SRU that into Precise. -- Thomas BugSquad Member -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug
As I said in my previous comment (#80 on this bug), the Precise repositories will not be updated with any updated packages without an SRU (Stable Release Update) being filed. That is outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates. Any updates pushed to the package at this point will be accepted for Quantal. Can you confirm that this package builds/runs in Quantal before I start messing around with the package in my test environments to remove the patch that is referreed to as the problem causer?

[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug
I'm confused... I just installed and tested a i386 7.0.27 from the ppa, and then I check back and it says that the i386 failed to build. wth? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

ok, the i386 has the bug, so I assume the am64 will too.

OT Steffen your .27 boinc doesn't build on quantal quetzal release, while .24 does, but now I have no time to look at which patch could be wrong, we are in the initial developing stadium, so there's time to make it work :) /OT -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Steffen and Dave. 7.0.27 will be available in a few minutes for i386 and a 3-4 hours for amd64.
