motaboyDunno. Probably they are talking about this on some channels.12:09
cartel_question where do ubuntu get their names for releases?12:09
motaboyRiddell: I got that system preferences has some file conflicting with kcontrol12:10
motaboyRiddell: plus when I launch it I get an empty window,only the bar, but show all is insensible.12:11
Riddellcartel_: mark shuttleworth makes them up depending on his mood12:12
Riddellmotaboy: that'll be xdg menu strangeness, should be eaily fixable with some playing about12:12
motaboyRiddell: do you have any hint? :D12:13
Riddellmotaboy: what's the conflicting file?12:14
motaboyRiddell: /usr/share/applications/kde/kcmfontinst.desktop  /usr/share/desktop-directories/kde-settings-system.directory  /usr/share/desktop-directories/kde-settings-power.directory12:15
cartel_so whats better.. arch or svn?12:18
Riddellcartel_: baz12:18
Riddellmotaboy: does it work if you overwrite those files?12:18
cartel_Riddell: bazaar?12:18
Riddellcartel_: that's the baby12:18
cartel_Riddell: can i install this on debian woody?12:18
motaboyRiddell: no. I think the problem is in the xdg menu implementation12:19
motaboyRiddell: Probably I have to generate some files from this ones?12:19
Riddellmotaboy: it's definatly worked fine for me before, but it took some shuffling around of the files, I assumed he would have fixed that by now12:19
cartel_Riddell: installing now12:19
RiddellI'll compile it and see what happens12:19
=== motaboy reads the xdg specs.
=== cartel_ looks for a baz howto
cartel_is there an arch pserver? or it does everything over ssh?12:22
Riddellcartel_: it can use webdav too12:26
Riddellmotaboy: are you going to restore that page or do you want me to do it?12:32
motaboyRiddell: I'm unsure on how to proceed...12:32
motaboyRiddell: do you have a copy of the page?12:32
Riddellmotaboy: nope, although somewhere in the 7000 e-mails in my inboxes are all the changes made to it since it started12:32
uniqhello gentlemen.12:33
uniqany idea what's up with the wiki? 12:33
motaboyRiddell: I have an unformatted version. Do you want that I send it to you ?12:33
motaboyuniq: no :( 12:33
Riddellmotaboy: yeah cool12:33
motaboyRiddell: sent12:35
motaboyIt's getting late. Night All!12:42
apokryphos'night12:43
apokryphosRiddell: quick q if I may: is there a quick way to resolve dependencies (and their versions etc) when making a .deb? Someone suggested pbuilder, but not quite sure if it should be used -- seems related to apt or the .deb src.12:44
motaboyapokryphos: there's also sbuild that it's the one used by buildd12:45
apokryphosmotaboy: cool; how do I use it?12:46
motaboyapokryphos: I'm not very expert again12:46
motaboyapokryphos: but I setted up a chrooted environment12:46
apokryphosYup, just did that with pbuilder...12:46
apokryphos*for12:46
motaboyapokryphos: then I launch "sbuild -v packagename.dsc"12:46
motaboyapokryphos: but you can use also inside your root12:47
apokryphosmotaboy: hmm, I'm trying to make a .deb from the package source (not the deb one), so that's what should be used?12:47
motaboyapokryphos: and it will remove the packages that it has installed at the end12:47
motaboyapokryphos: it will resolve and install the deps. 12:48
apokryphosdsc is stuff from the deb src, isn't it? (just getting to grips).12:48
motaboyapokryphos: yes12:48
Riddellapokryphos: dsc is the description file of the source12:48
apokryphosRiddell: the "control" file in debian/ ?12:49
apokryphos(the one you get from dh_name)12:50
apokryphos*dh_make12:50
apokryphosmotaboy: slightly confused :). Where is the .dsc, then? Or do I have to make one...?12:51
motaboyapokryphos: is it a source file made by another one, or is it made by you?12:52
Riddellapokryphos: debuild -S  will make a .dsc as well as a .diff (and there should already be a .orig as well)12:52
apokryphosyup, got the .orgi.tar.gz so far12:52
apokryphos*orig12:53
Riddellapokryphos:   Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}  will magically add the correct depends for things which need C/C++ libraries12:53
apokryphosRiddell: to clarify, I should just run Debuild -S in the source directory? 12:54
motaboyRiddell: Now I'll go bed. I'll try to understand the systempreferences problem tommorow.12:54
motaboyCUAll.12:54
Riddellmotaboy: guid nicht12:54
apokryphosbye; thanks for the help :)12:54
Riddellapokryphos: yes,  debuild  will make the .debs  debuild -S  will make the source  (.diff/orig and .dsc)12:55
uniqapokryphos: i use a chroot, made by debootstrap, in which i build packages with debuid, or sometimes dpkg-buildpackage.12:55
uniqbah.. s/debiud/debuild12:55
=== apokryphos first .deb build :P
apokryphosand the shlibs goes in... ? The "depends" part in "control" file?12:57
uniqread the new maintainer guide :)12:57
apokryphosuniq: which one? Link?12:57
uniqapt-get install maint-guide12:57
apokryphosright12:57
Riddellapokryphos: yes, Depends in control12:58
Riddellapokryphos: what are you packaging?12:58
Riddellthere should be a template package to use12:58
uniqand maybe developers-reference too.. if you're patient.12:58
apokryphoskrename :D12:58
apokryphosRiddell: what exactly would that be? :)01:00
Riddellapokryphos: krename is a C++ program?01:00
Riddellhttp://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/01:00
Riddellhttp://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-first.en.html#s-dh_make01:01
Riddelldh_make is the baby01:01
apokryphosYeah, it's C++01:02
apokryphosYeah, was reading that guide...01:02
apokryphosRiddell: debuild -S seems to go well, but get an error with signing the changes: gpg: skipped `Francis Giannaros <francisg@gmail.com>': secret key not available01:09
apokryphosshould I be using something else? 01:10
Riddellapokryphos: do you have a gpg key installed?01:10
apokryphosno ;)01:10
Riddellthat'll be it then01:10
apokryphosNot sure if I'm doing things in the right order here. Do I first configure all things in debian/, then debuild -S, then debuild?01:25
cartel_arrgh, kdevelop doesnt support arch01:27
Riddellapokryphos: sort out debian  then if you want .debs  use  debuild and if you want  source  "packages" use debuild -S01:28
cartel_:'(01:29
uniqgnite guys.01:45
apokryphos'night01:46
lamontvalidate-posix-sh: warning; cannot verify correctness of "debian/xfree86-common.postrm" with ash; shell not available01:47
lamontstupid xorg01:47
=== lamont would beat daniels with a shell, but THERE AREN'T ANY IN THE CHROOT
lamont:-_01:48
apokryphosRiddell: aren't man pages important? As far as I can see the guide seems to imply that I would have to write/edit the templates :-O02:00
Riddellapokryphos: most programs are expected to come with their own man pages if they need them02:03
Riddellapokryphos: but otherwise write your own (in docbook) and add the appropriate bits to rules02:03
apokryphosRiddell: sorry, that should have been "imported", not important, ergh. If the program has its respective man page, would that be pulled in automatically?02:05
Riddellapokryphos: they'll be installed normally then you add them to the install file in debian/ like any other file02:06
cartel_poor daniels02:35
apokryphosRiddell: did I miss something and it was built for only i386? In control it's specified "Architecture: any".02:43
Riddellapokryphos: presumably you only built it on i38602:43
apokryphosCan only build on the architecture you're on.. understandable.02:43
Riddellapokryphos: that package works for me02:46
apokryphoscool :)02:46
apokryphosRiddell: shall I send any other stuff over?02:46
Riddellapokryphos: add it to https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/MOTUNewPackages02:46
apokryphosplease be sure to tell me with any things that might need to be altered with it :P02:47
apokryphosOk, sure.02:47
Riddellapokryphos: include a link to .deb and sour02:47
Riddellapokryphos: include a link to .deb and sources02:47
apokryphosRiddell: the tar.gz or original tar.bz2?02:47
Riddellapokryphos: the .orig .diff and .dsc02:48
apokryphosOk; no problem.02:48
Riddellapokryphos: you need to name the orig in the style of  krecipes_0.7.1.orig.tar.gz02:49
Riddellapokryphos: then run debuild -S and it'll make the .diff and dsc02:49
apokryphosright; just remove the evil 102:51
apokryphosThough, Riddell, I do already have a .diff and dsc02:52
apokryphosI followed the guide and ended up using dpkg-buildpackage02:52
Riddelldebuild just calls dpkg-buildpackages, but it checks dependencies first which is handy02:52
Riddellif you don't have a .orig then the .diff contains everything, which is not the way to do it02:53
apokryphosI have both. Just had to rename krename_3.0.3.orig.tar.gz102:53
apokryphosdebuild refuses to build with an orig.tar.gz there02:55
Riddellwhat does it say?02:55
apokryphosdpkg-source: failure: unable to create `krename_3.0.3.orig.tar.gz.tmp-nest': File exists02:56
Riddellapokryphos: .orig is in directory above the source?02:57
Riddellapokryphos: if krename_3.0.3.orig.tar.gz.tmp-nest exists then remove it and run debuild again02:57
apokryphosok02:58
apokryphosSuccessfully signed dsc and changes files02:59
Riddellgroovy03:00
apokryphosRiddell: that process seemed to lose the orig..03:09
Riddellapokryphos: it deleted it?03:09
apokryphosYes03:09
Riddellvery strange03:10
Riddellwell slap whatever you have on a server and I'll take a keek03:10
apokryphosIs it perhaps down to the fact that I changed the name? Took off that 103:10
Riddelldon't see any reason for a 1 being there03:11
apokryphosheh. Ok, uploading03:11
apokryphosRiddell: http://www.youmortals.com/stuff/ubuntu/krename/ Sorry for the hassle -- really appreciate this. :)03:16
Riddelldpkg-source: cannot represent change to krename_3.0.3.orig.tar.gz1: binary file contents changed03:22
Riddellsomething funny going on there03:22
Riddellapokryphos: you have a file called krename_3.0.3.orig.tar.gz1 inside your source directory03:24
Riddellthat's not right03:24
apokryphosArgh03:25
apokryphosI might have actually moved it there when trying to rename03:25
Riddellthe level of conversation in #kubuntu is starting to tend towards that of #ubuntu :)03:27
Riddellstill no desktop flame wars yet03:27
apokryphosIt's actually partly my fault03:28
apokryphosthe idiot in there (Gangster') is an "acuintence" of mine03:28
apokryphosfound out I use IRC and here he is. Ergh.03:28
Riddell:)03:29
apokryphosRiddell: but I should be able to still use the orig there, eh? Does the debuild -S alter it at all?03:32
Riddellapokryphos: put the orig in the directory above the source03:32
Riddelldebuild -S won't alter the orig03:32
Riddellbut it will use it03:32
apokryphosso I better rebuild...03:33
Riddellyep03:34
Riddellapokryphos: the version number should be 3.0.3-0ubuntu1  (and actually should be 3.0.3-0ubuntu0.1 etc until it's ready to upload)03:34
apokryphosDarn; should have remembered that. For the guys at MOTU, then, I should leave as ubuntu0.1, and I guess they can alter?03:36
apokryphosI guess have I have to do the dpkg-buildpackages again, then. :) 03:37
Riddellyep03:37
apokryphosnot too much loss as the debuild -S returned errors: i.e. gunzip: stdin: not in gzip format03:37
Riddellis it gzip or did you just rename from bz2?03:39
apokryphosNo idea what it's talking about with regard to gzip; don't see any gzip too. Never did rename the tar.bz2..03:40
Riddellhow did you make the .orig file?03:41
apokryphoshm, now wondering if that came in earlier when experimenting a bit03:43
Riddellwell you want to make it by bunzip2ing the .bz2 and gzipping it and renaming to follow the correct pattern03:44
apokryphosPretty sure it was built with the dpkg-buildpackage though..03:44
Riddell.orig isn't build by anything, it's the origional (or as close as you can get it)03:45
RiddellI'm off to bed, #ubuntu-motu has people if you need help03:45
Riddelladd the package to https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/MOTUNewPackages and we'll try and find people to review03:46

motaboyHi all!07:15
uniqhello.07:16
haggaihi07:18
Riddellhaggai: what's the plan with adding updates-from-cvs patches?08:03
Riddellhaggai: there's a few changes I'd like to make after doing this fresh install so I could add them as I do those08:04
haggaiRiddell: I looked at the updates, and there are rather a lot08:08
Riddellhaggai: do you think they're likely to cause trouble?08:09
haggaiRiddell: I think there is a good chance they will in places08:09
Riddellmaybe we should just do it for kde-i18n and try and do a kde 3.4.1 in hoary-updates08:09
haggaiRiddell: it is difficult to tell.  Obviously they are all supposed to be bug fixes but there are a lot of backports that could be not very well tested08:10
motaboyusually the patches backported to the KDE_3_4_BRANCH are only bug fixes 08:10
Riddellmotaboy: usually :)08:10
haggaimotaboy: have you actually looked at the commits?  I know they are supposed to be fixes but the quantity is scary, and they are not all obvious what they are doing08:10
motaboyhaggai: I always keep an eye on kde-cvs ml08:11
haggaimotaboy: I think we have a good chance to introduce a new bug and not have time for it to surface before the release08:11
motaboyhaggai: and the backports are not so much08:11
motaboyhaggai: yeah.08:11
haggaiRiddell: yeah I think so, much as I know this strategy will mean we ship with some bugs that could have been fixed08:12
motaboyhaggai: IMHO that before a release only very annoying bugs should be fixed08:12
haggaimotaboy: I agree08:12
haggaiRiddell: the kde-i18n changes are so big the diff is > 450Mb.  I think we should just make a new tar.gz08:12
haggaiRiddell: something like 3.4.0+cvsyyyymmdd08:13
motaboyhaggai: I'm sorry. I didn't had much time for that annoying konqueror crash08:13
motaboyhaggai: I wrote some things in the bug.08:13
motaboyhaggai: but It's hard to me to find the real cause.08:14
haggaimotaboy: yes, thanks for your research.  That bug is being hard to track down08:14
motaboyhaggai: I'd like to report it upstream.08:14
haggaimotaboy: please do08:14
motaboyhaggai: ok. maybe the developers of that part will solve it in 1 second. :D08:15
haggaimotaboy: heh :)08:15
