15:37 < HE> lool: Ping? What's up with #373643? 15:40 < fatal> vainikka: I've done some more googling.... try installing "schedutils" and look at the taskset program. 15:41 -!- streuner [EMAIL PROTECTED] has joined #debian-devel 15:43 < lool> HE: that's not a trivial nut to crack 15:44 < vainikka> fatal: ok 15:44 < HE> lool: Right, but it's one of the nuts left for etch :) 15:44 < lool> HE: in short, intltool is made of a m4 macro, support scripts, and a sample Makefile snippet 15:44 < HE> Though I hate that fact, I fear that I have to admit to know that. 15:44 < lool> HE: upstream not only broke compatibility with newer autoconfs because of bad design, they also broke compatibility between the pieces 15:45 < lool> HE: please hang on when I type things :) 15:45 < lool> HE: I was trying to explain the various problems at hand 15:46 < lool> HE: upstream didn't comment on the bug report, I fear breaking things further myself, and I don't want to introduce another round of incompatibilities 15:46 -!- dancerjBO [EMAIL PROTECTED] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 15:47 < HE> lool: So reverting to the older version would work? 15:47 < lool> HE: the best thing which could happen is someone proposing a patch reverting the brokeness of the new upstream, while still adding the new functionility 15:47 < lool> HE: the new intltool has functionalities we need in upstream releases already in Debian 15:48 < lool> I'm not sure that this is visible via build-depends only, it might be something you only discover at aclocal time 15:48 < HE> So we have some packages needing the new release, some software needing the old release, upstream doesn't care and there is no patch, right? 15:48 < lool> I think this is correct yes 15:48 < HE> Ah, well, business as usual then. [...] 15:49 < lool> I think they hate aclocal macro as many of us do, and are reluctant to fix some mistakes because of this :-/ 15:50 < lool> HE: I've tagged + help now 15:50 < HE> Thanks. 15:51 < HE> Could you perhaps just paste what you wrote and attach it to the bug log?
