JReanyone have try kcheckgmail?09:39
haggaiallee: there is a technique often used to implement things like DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug in debian/rules.  Is the packaging cdbs based?09:41
alleehi all10:38
alleehaggai: yes digikam cdbs based.  AFAIR 'debug' stuff uses configure --enable-debug(=full).  Nevertheless I'll check cdbs rules files.  Thx.10:40
haggaiallee: in that case you can set CXXFLAGS10:49
alleehaggai: thx I'll try tonight10:50

JReallee: Okay i have rebuild katapult with ehanced changelog, copyrith, less deps and cdbs thanks to your advices12:12
alleeJRe: quick look  (2 min until lunch)12:13
JRebetter do this after lunch ;) good appetite!12:14
alleeJRe: yeah, look like I looked at the yesterdays diff.  Later ;)12:15
JReokay everything uploaded: http://jr.falleri.free.fr/wikini/wakka.php?wiki=KubuntU, no lintian errors12:27
JRei want to add a page KubuntuPackagingGuide, which is the best place to put the link in the wiki?12:42
RiddellJRe: from Kubuntu12:42
JReRiddell: okay12:43
JReallee: packages are ready, take a look to KubuntuPackagingGuide when you have time02:26

alleeJRe: copyright file:  the copyright: section is really licsense: one.   For copyright: section  grep -i copyright at least all files. kdesdk has a lisensecheck tool that will tell you if everything is 'really' GPL04:07
jre_???04:08
=== jre_ is now known as JRe
alleeJRe: diff contains a unnecessary katapult.1 file.  Why wasn't it done by the clean/katapult in rules?? (a check with diffstat uncoveres such problems)04:13
alleeJRe: you write Copyright:04:14
alleeand then software is GPL04:14
alleeGPL is the license not the copyright.04:14
alleeJRe: control Matter of taste of course:  both, short and long description could be a bit longer04:17
alleeJRe: control: you specify the tar file instead of the homepage in long desc04:18
JReokay!!!!!!!!04:20
JReallee: understands now04:20
JReallee: can i tell all the software copryght the author, 2005 ?04:21
alleeJRe: Recommends/Suggests:  have you tought about what pkgs katapult may needs to be useful04:21
JReallee: yeah none04:21
JReallee: you mean that the clean/katapult rules does not worlk?04:23
alleeJRe: AFAIU  'all the software' is fine, but it's a good idea to use a copy of the copyright notice from the source file04:23
alleeJRe: yes,  because the katapult.1 is in the diff.  clean target is execute before the diff is generated.04:23
JReallee: okay i make the changes ;) but the package was better thaht yesterday no?04:27
alleeJRe: of course!!!!!04:27
alleeJRe: If I had not like your work right from the beginning I would not have spend any time with it.04:29
JReallee: thanks ;) i have learned many things with your advices!04:30
alleeJRe: all the stuff is final polishing.  I've seen quite some pkgs from official debian maintainer that weren't as polished as yours ;)04:31
Riddellpolishing it is what packages are all about, we polish so the users don't have to04:31
JReallee: ;)! But thanks too you all the packages i'll do next we'll be polished like this one 04:32
alleeRiddell: If katapult.1 is in the diff or not is something the user does not care ;)   But you are right we have to do your best to serve the needs of the users04:34
alleeRiddell: and last but not least:  you do really a great job for the users!!!!!!!04:36
Riddellallee: well you've been doing a good job this last day, I'm sure I could learn some packaging techniques off you04:39
Riddellallee: going to become MOTU?04:40
alleeGuess why I was lurking at the CC yesterday ;).    My main problem is free time and that have to learn lot about (k)ubuntu.04:42
Riddellallee: are there any packages of yours we should review?04:42
alleeRiddell: and one of the standard questions:  what have you done already for ubuntu.  I realized that I had not much to offer for an application04:42
Riddellfind something to package?04:44
alleelast time I checked my debian pkgs were uptodate. 04:44
alleein ubuntu that is04:44
alleepkg new stuff is not that pressing for me.  Kubuntu has the stuff I need.  My (would like to plans) shift to  better integration and interoperation of pkgs ...04:46
alleee.g.  autostart of digikam when camera is pluged in.   GUI support for networking at different locations etc04:47
alleeI've noted some udu pages during the last UDU irc meetings 2 days ago.  When time permits I'll try to help here and there.04:49
Riddellyep04:53
Riddellboth good goals04:53

RiddellJRe: well the media:/ ioslave is there, what's missing is a kded module to do something useful when devices are plugged in05:12
RiddellI think the guy was developing that but I need to check back with him05:12
alleeJRe: yeah!05:13
alleeRiddell: you mean enrico?05:14

alleeSome pointers I miss are:  debian-mentors web site and mailing list. 05:19
JReallee: yeah right i am going to add a section about the copyrights too ;)05:20
alleeJRe: :)05:20
alleeJRe: Kalyxo also add a nice half page long intro.  Assumed a 'standard' KDE applications.  So these 5 steps and you get a deb.05:21

Riddellkalyxo still don't have dns05:22

hussamthere's a new dbus packae06:31
hussam*package06:31
hussambut to install it, syanptic says it has to remove kdebase, what should I do?06:32
hussamanybody here?06:32
Riddellhussam: probably not much you can do until we upload a new kdebase06:33
Riddellwhich will be either when the g++ transition happens or kde 3.4.106:33
hussamRiddell: but kde 3.4.1 isn't anytime soon06:34
hussamis it?06:34
Riddellabout 3 weeks06:34
amuThe following packages have been kept back:06:36
amu  dbus-1-utils hal hal-device-manager pmount python2.4-dbus06:36
amuhussam: so i sould not upgrade my breezy 06:37
hussamamu: i'm getting: 06:37
hussamamu: dbus-1-utils hal libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common pmount python2.4-dbus06:37
hussamkept back06:37
hussambut all of which can be installed if I remove kdebase06:38
hussamwhich I'm not going to06:38
amuunderstandable ;)06:39
hussamamu: but Riddell says they will upgrade kdebase in 3 weeks to work again06:40
hussamwell, I guess I'll have to wait06:40
hussambrb06:41
hungerSo we have to live with held back packages for the next couple of weeks?06:54

amuhussam: sounds nice ;)06:55
Riddellhunger: depends when the g++ transition happens06:55
=== hunger sighs. I hate not being able to be cutting edge:-)
hungerRiddell: Ah. Well, it makes sense to wait for that.06:55
=== hunger grumbles.
hussamamu: I just asked in #kde and they say kde 3.4.1 will be tagged on the 23 and released a week after06:56
amuhussam: great ;)06:57
hungerAny highlights in 3.4.1 or is it just bugfixes?06:59
hungerSounds like the latter, but you never know...06:59
hussamRiddell: is there anyway I can rebuild this new dbus so that I don't have to remove kdebase?07:01
Riddellhussam: you could rebuild kdebase07:02
hussamI'm very familiar with rebuilding rpms but this is the first time I use a debian based distro07:04
Riddellapt-get source kdebase && cd kdebase-3.4.0 ** debuild07:04
hungerhussam: apt-get source kdebase to grab the source, dpkg-build* to rebuild.07:04
uniqrebuilding is pretty easy.. 'apt-get source -b package'07:04
Riddellapt-get source kdebase && cd kdebase-3.4.0 && debuild07:04
Riddellor like uniq says07:04
hungerhussam: Very easy...07:04
hussamso I install dbus and remove kdebase07:07
hussamthan build kdebase and install it07:07
hussam?07:07
uniqyes.07:08
hussamok thanks07:09
hussamI'll do that tonight07:09
=== hunger wonders whether hussam could upload his new deb...
=== hussam [~Hussam@194.126.31.19] has joined #kubuntu-devel
hussamone last question, will rebuilding automatically fix the dependency issue or do I have to edit some spec file before I rebuild?07:25
Riddellshould fix it automatically07:26
Riddellhussam: check debian/control for dbus version though07:27
Riddellallee: we've had a request to package knoda...just incase you were looking for something :)07:28
alleeRiddell: lastest knoda is in sid/sarge.  Shouldn't be hard to 'port' (exercise to the reader) ...07:30
Riddellhmm, should auto import then07:30
Riddellhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/knoda/  by golly it's there07:31
alleeRiddell: seriously  I only started knoda once 3 days ago to look at it.  Pkg is easy, but who 'maintains' it?  I've no experience with this tool.07:31
Riddellah wait, doesn't look like it's compiled07:31
Riddellhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/k/knoda/0.7-1/  miserable failure07:32
alleeHmm, 0.7-1?  Last is 0.7.3-1 in debian07:33
alleeDoes autoimport stop after one version fails to build?07:33
Riddellnot sure07:33
KaiLand can only work better ;)07:33
