14:08 <mterry> doko, why does cython show up in component-mismatches?  it's 
part of a "cython | python-pyrex" build-depend, and python-pyrex is in main
14:08 <doko> germinate issue
14:08 <mterry> Is that just a nuance the mismatch script doesn't handle, or is 
that something we should change in the packagin?
14:09 <mterry> germinate is how we generate this report?
14:09 <cjwatson> not a germinate issue
14:09 <cjwatson> may be a seed issue
14:09 <cjwatson> yes, we germinate all the seeds and then compare against main
14:10 <cjwatson> well, I don't *think* it's a germinate issue anyway, it isn't 
normally.  I suppose I ought to check
14:11 <mterry> cjwatson, cython doesn't seem to be in platform or ubuntu seeds
14:12 <cjwatson> sure
14:12 <cjwatson> didn't say it was :)
14:12 <mterry> cjwatson, thought that was what you meant by seed issue
14:12 <cjwatson> what I mean is that normally the data should be blamed not the 
processing tool
14:13 <cjwatson> in much the same way that one doesn't automatically say that a 
bug in the output of a C program is a gcc bug
14:13 <mterry> I thought most programmers blamed gcc for their bugs  ;)
14:18 <cjwatson> from what I can tell, germinate simply ends up trying to 
resolve build-deps from bzr before it runs across anything that would cause it 
to put python-pyrex in main
14:18 <cjwatson> it's important to remember that it does not care what is 
*currently* in main when making this judgement; it's selecting everything from 
scratch
14:19 <cjwatson> the simplest workaround is probably to put python-pyrex in the 
supported-development-common seed along with bzr (with a suitable comment)
14:19 <mterry> cjwatson, apparently, part of our delta for bzr is already 
dropping other build-depends that aren't in main
14:19 <mterry> cjwatson, it might make sense just to drop cython too
14:20 <cjwatson> if you do that then it will know that python-pyrex is 
supported before trying to resolve build-dependencies, so it won't need to make 
a decision about the disjunctive build-dep
14:20 <cjwatson> *shrug* either is reasonable, personally I'd probably seed it 
but whichever
