=== nalioth [n=Apple@ubuntu/member/pdpc.bronze.nalioth] has joined #ubuntu-motu
naliothanyone know "pkg building for dummies" ?12:13
naliothi have followed the kubuntu.org pbuilder howto and the chroot howto on the ubuntu wiki and neither one are working for me12:13
naliothgoogle provides nothing enlightening12:14
crimsunstrict package building only requires a pbuilder12:14
naliothcrimsun: i would like to know how to integrate gnupg into the initial environment, google is not helpful with that12:15
naliothi have been trying to get this working for weeks, and it is really irritating. i've been asking different folks, asking google in different ways12:16
crimsunnalioth: do you mean for retrieving signed debs?12:17
tsengcomeon12:17
tsengman debootstrap12:17
tseng--include=gnupg12:17
crimsunexactly12:17
nalioththank you. on to the next steps.12:18
crimsunor if you use pbuilder create, pass --extrapackages=gnupg12:18
tsenggreat.12:18
crimsun(which really just passes it to debootstrap)12:18
thierrycrimsun : how do I put --enable-shared=yes in rules? I mean, do I simply put this in the top of the file??12:23
naliothwell, the debootstrap wiki commands error out12:23
slomosiretart: we may want to package http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net/  they improve libmp4v2 and some other stuff... but i don't know the legal status12:23
thierrycrimsun : and where should be the .install file and what are relative path??12:24
crimsunslomo: we may want to use mythtv's -fixes svn branch; it compiles with g++-412:24
crimsunthierry: ignore my [mis] statement regarding .install12:24
slomocrimsun: sounds good... do you want to do it? but i would ask mdz before...12:24
=== nalioth [n=Apple@ubuntu/member/pdpc.bronze.nalioth] has left #ubuntu-motu []
crimsunslomo: he no longer maintains it for Debian, but sure12:25
crimsunthierry: DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS := --enable-shared=yes12:26
thierrycrimsun : ok but for --enable-shared=yes... do I put simply put it in the top of the rules file?12:26
thierrycrimsun : and that should solve my binary problem??12:27
crimsunthierry: you need to build a shared lib at least, so that's a starting point12:27
slomothierry: you should read the library packaging guide if you want to package a library12:28
thierryslomo : k, thanks12:28

ogra_ibookits menu-xdg12:47
sebestogra_ibook: is there a known fix?12:48
sebesti could strace it btw12:48
ogra_ibookremove the broken symlink in /etc/xdg/menus/ and you are fine12:48
slomooh nice12:49
sebestthanx :)12:49
sebestfixed (rm debian-menu.menu)12:50
ogra_ibookits known upstream and the right fix should be gamin ignoring broken links, but broken links are bad as well :)12:50

=== ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-motu
crimsunthat generally would be Very Bad.01:42
Kyralyah I'm trying to think how to get around it01:42
crimsunwhat specifically do you need to do?01:42
KyralLab Build01:42
KyralI'm making a metapack01:42
Kyralproblem is that some of the stuff is in Universe and whatnot01:42
Kyralso I need to replace the Sources.list before I can snag them01:42
crimsunno.01:42
crimsunAbsolutely Not.01:43
Kyralyah thats what I thought01:43
Kyraldpkg would be locked01:43
crimsunThat's not the issue. I mean yes, you can do whatever you really want to, but that's just the wrong way to go about it.01:43
Kyraloh?01:43
segfaulti think i started packaging something with the left foot.01:44
segfaultheh01:44
Kyrallol01:44
crimsunit's better to use a shell script that backs up sources.list then appends the universe lines to the original copy01:44
Kyralhmm, I could just use a shell script to wget the sources.list first, then wget the debpack...01:44
KyralOh I'm not just getting stuff from Universe01:45
Kyralthere are some custom packs we need, so I'll be pulling from a repo I set up in the lab01:46
crimsunthat's why you'd want to back up sources.list then append the deb lines using tee -a01:46
Kyralwhy would I backup the default list?01:47
crimsunbecause you're touching it.01:48
crimsunalways make a backup.01:48
Kyralthis will never leave the lab lol01:48
crimsunit doesn't matter01:48
KyralIn fact I put in the desc field that if you see this out of the COSI then something is wrong01:48
crimsunthe first rule of system administration is always to make backups of files you touch01:48
=== Kyral sighs
Kyralfine fine01:49
segfaulti'll package a php system, so basically what i have to do is those post-install scripts, right?01:49
crimsunsegfault: elaborate on "a php system"01:49
segfaulthehe, it's a php-based webmail01:49
crimsunso it this system a metapackage or a completely new package?01:50
segfaultnew package01:50
segfaulti mean, what it basically must do is the post-install stuff, like asking for the DB user/pass to create its tables, and other stuff01:51
crimsunsure, I suppose if you're automating it01:54
segfaultok01:58

Kyralbroke X so bad that I had to resymlink a bunch of files lol02:37
Kyralor maybe that was just me..02:37
crimsunerm...02:38
crimsunI don't think that had anything to do with libstdc++602:38
=== Kyral shrugs
crimsunyou probably mean the X.Org transition02:38
Kyralthere was an X transition?02:38
=== Kyral looks stupid
crimsuntwice02:39
Kyraloh02:39
crimsunXFree86 -> monolithic X.Org -> modular X.Org02:39
Kyraland I heard the big one is coming up02:39
crimsunI think daniel's implication is that 7.0 is largely already in dapper02:40
Kyralah02:40
crimsunwell, jeff's changelog answered my question regarding --print-architecture, heh.02:41

GregorR-LDoes Ubuntu Universe contain every package from Debian sid?09:30
GregorR-LWith emphasis on /every/09:31
GregorR-L:P09:31
ajmitchmain+universe(+restricted, etc) should have most09:32
ajmitchapart from ones which we've removed09:32
ajmitchsince everything is synced across09:32
ajmitchKillerKiwi2005: hello09:32
GregorR-LHm - so would the most effective way to get a package into Ubuntu be to get it into Debian sid (since I'm barking up that tree anyway)?09:33
KillerKiwi2005ajmitch: hi :)09:33
ajmitchGregorR-L: that's one way, and if it gets into sid before upstream version freeze in dapper, it'll get aynced automatically09:33
ajmitchKillerKiwi2005: another kiwi then? :)09:33
KillerKiwi2005ajmitch: yes, aukland you?09:34

GregorR-Lajmitch: Yeah, and I've squeeky-wheeled on #debian-mentors - I think I need to be more patient :)09:37
ajmitchif you wanted it uploaded to ubuntu directly you could upload it to REVU for us to review it09:38
GregorR-LWould there be a conflict if I uploaded it to both and it got accepted into Debian?09:38
ajmitchno, because to upload to ubuntu you'd have to change the versioning for ubuntu (to avoid those conflicts)09:39

ajmitchI know that's not what you intend09:42
ajmitchbut you would have had fun if you'd got 1.0.0rc5 into debian, and then tried to get 1.0.0 uploaded09:42

ajmitchand it's not in the build-depends09:53
GregorR-LOK, I guess I have to add that to my build-depends.09:53
ajmitchconfigure.ac has checks for a few libraries that aren't in build-depends09:54
ajmitchthough I see you're not enabling the gaim plugin09:55
ajmitchdebian/rules looks like a dh_make template, complete with useless commented out bits09:55
ajmitchyou have a .desktop file, and don't use dh_desktop09:55
ajmitchdh_install is commented out?09:56
GregorR-LA standard build of DirectNet will only use FLTK - it has other UIs, but will only use one, so only one is in the build-depends.  Other than that, it just needs libc.09:56
ajmitchdebian/copyright is bare, it doesn't have the standard 3 paragraphs that are in src/client.c, for example09:56

GregorR-LThe "License" text was from one of the guides ... the new maintainer guide I think.  It said to use that for GPL.09:59
ajmitchit's best to use what is in the source - which is the 3 standard paragraphs that the GPL states10:00
ajmitchthis package would get checked again for licensing by the debian ftp master10:01
ajmitchbest to get it fixed here before it's rejected later on :)10:01
GregorR-LHmm, should update that guide then ...10:01

ajmitchdh_install isn't essential for single binary packages10:10

ajmitchin the appropriate place :)10:15
GregorR-LOf course.10:15
ajmitchand check if you really need some of the ones that are commented out, or are uncommented10:16
ajmitcheg you have debian/info but dh_installinfo is commented10:16
ajmitchdh_link but nothing specifying what to symlink10:17
GregorR-LHmm, those don't install - I shouldn't even have debian/info.10:17
GregorR-LWhat is dh_link supposed to do?  AFAIK I don't need any symlinks, so I guess that goes.10:17
ajmitchread its man page10:17
GregorR-LWOAH, every dh_* has a man page O_O10:18
=== GregorR-L is sort of slow :P
ajmitchsince you should really be able to say what each of the dh_* commands you are using do10:18
GregorR-LYeah :P10:19

GregorR-LOut of curiousity, what's the process of finding somebody to package a file in Debian for you? XD10:19
ajmitchhm?10:19
GregorR-LThat is, to actually make the package from upstream source :P10:20
ajmitchasking someone to package something is filing an RFP bug on a wnpp psuedo-package10:20

ajmitchit's fairly common to include README & NEWS10:25
ajmitchoften AUTHORS as well10:25
ajmitchI wouldn't call NEWS particularly edifying though10:26
ajmitchanother common suggestion is to include the homepage in the description10:26
GregorR-LThe README is on the dumb UI, which isn't what I set it to build.10:26
ajmitchso in debian/control, you'd have the long description, a . on a line by itself, then 'Homepage: http://directnet.sourceforge.net'10:27

[A] ndy80raphink: I think it will work for dapper too, you can test it if you want. I can tell you that it works on breezy. I don't expect you include my package on breezy, but I hope someone will find usefull to have it on breezy to.02:55
lucasdebian sid has 2.0.3-4+b102:56
raphink[A] ndy80: understand that on Debian systems, it's not about providing a package and leaving, it's about maintaining it02:56
[A] ndy80raphink: you can include this package in dapper, but please TEST IT... I'm using it right now, but it's my FIRST .deb package :)02:56
lucas[A] ndy80: the fatest way to get your package into dapper is currently to file a bug against amule on debian02:56
raphinkso you dont' give your work and not deal with what happens afterwards02:56
lucassaying that you patched the package to build amule 2.1.0. and provide a patch02:57
raphinkso you test it, you make it available, you fix it, and so on ;)02:57
raphinkyou are resopnsible for your work :)02:57
lucasthen amule 2.1.0 will automagically get into ubuntu02:57
[A] ndy80lucas: amule has already a lot of bug fixes the should justify its inclusion in breezy too... but it's not my goal.02:58
lucas[A] ndy80: your goal here should be to get amule 2.1.0 in dapper02:58
[A] ndy80I will be very glad if you want to accept my little contribute, but I don't know if I'll have time to mantain it... do you understand?02:58
raphink[A] ndy80: maintaining is not the biggest part of it02:59
lucasthen just file a debian bug about it02:59
raphinkbut it's the essential one02:59
raphinkit doesnt' take much time02:59
raphinkbut if it's not done, everything fails02:59
[A] ndy80raphink: I'm going to think about it.... but anyway.... amule package already has a mantainer... first I'll write a mail to him so we can work together.... don't you think?03:00

raphinksure taht can be an option03:01
raphinkthere's a big chance that this maintainer has other packages to maintain03:01
raphinkyou could try to do a NMU in Debian03:01

raphinkand get it sponsored03:02
raphinknon maintainer upload03:02
lucasraphink: what you are saying is wrong.03:02
raphink(or update ? :s)03:03
lucasthe correct way to handle this is to :03:03
lucas1) upload to REVU03:03
raphinklucas: ok03:03
lucas2) file a debian bug with severity wishlist saying that version 2.1.0 is available and that you updated the package. Attach the patch to that bug report.03:03
raphinklucas: to wnpp ?03:04
raphinkor to amule?03:04
[A] ndy80you are getting me very confused O_o03:05

[A] ndy80ok, no I didn't.03:45
[A] ndy80so the package is released AS IS03:45

raphink[A] ndy80: _how_ did you package ?03:45
raphinkhow did you know the way to make a package?03:46
raphinkad what tools did you use ?03:46
[A] ndy80raphink: I simply used "checkinstall" with these options: checkinstall --pkgname=amule --pkgversion=2.1.0 --pkgrelease=2 --pkglicense=Restricted --pkggroup="P2P Clients" --pkgsource=http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amule/aMule-2.1.0.tar.bz203:46
[A] ndy80that's all03:46
zakameah, checkinstall03:47
raphinkok well that's not a package that could be included in any distro then03:47
raphinkbuilding a package is a work that takes a few hours03:47
raphinksometimes more03:47
raphinkwe care about details03:47
raphinkthis is what makes Debian a stable and powerful arch03:47
raphinkthere are tools to make packages03:48
zakameraphink: w00t03:48
raphinkcheckinstall is a tool to use packages when compiling a program03:48
raphinkif you have no time to make a real package03:48
raphinkbut checkinstall will not provide a package to be included in any distribution03:48
raphink[A] ndy80: if you want to provide a nice package, read the NDMG03:49
raphinkthat will teach you the basis of packaging03:49
[A] ndy80raphink: ok... so don't use my package. At this moment I've no time to read the NDMG and to make a real package.03:50
zakameand go to the #ubuntu-motu-school too when it's time ;)03:50
raphinkok03:50
raphink[A] ndy80: you're welcome to contribute with packaging whenever you're ready to03:50
[A] ndy80ok, thanks03:50
raphinkbut packaging is not about running checkinstall on a source dir03:50
raphinkwould be nice though ;)03:50

lucasyep06:49
LaserJockif we seperate the wiki into a few navigational wiki pages that we then link to all the other "work" pages06:50
LaserJockwe can then update the navigational pages easily but it still remains easy for people to navigate06:50
LaserJockI asked over at -doc about redirects and deletions and it was suggested to use redirects for anything older than about 2 weeks and to google URLs to see if anything is linking to pages that we want to delete06:52
=== Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-motu
LaserJockhmm, maybe we could use MOTUWork, MOTUDoc, MOTUInfo, and MOTUTeams for navigation ?07:01
lucasMOTUWork seems to generic07:01
lucasI started adding all bugfixing-related content to MOTUBugFixing07:01
LaserJockI imagine that the process realated info would be linked to MOTUWork, do you have a better suggestion for a name?07:02

lucasbugfixing => MOTUBugfixing07:04
lucasREVU/UniverseCandidates => MOTUNewSoftware07:04

LaserJockwell, I think we aren't that far apart07:13
lucascan you explain "navigational pages" ? I'm not sure I understand what you mean07:14
LaserJockok, so on the MOTUWork page we could provide an overview and links to all the process related pages. That way we don't have to move content much and people get a better picture of where the pages are07:16
LaserJockmaybe we don't need to have seperate pages but sections on the MOTU page07:16
LaserJockbut the main thing I think we need is some seperation between navigation and content. The content creators most likely will not want to worry about the navigation07:17
lucasmmh, what would you change from what I just did on MOTU and MOTUBugFixing ?07:18
LaserJockand also the navigation will be more consistent and organized07:18
LaserJockwell, I guess it doesn't really describe what kind of content it has, tutorials, process, todo?07:18
lucasI don't understand why you seek separation between content and navigation07:19
lucasI hate when I have to go through several pages before finding the content I'm looking for07:20
=== lamont [n=lamont@mib.fc.hp.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu
LaserJockwell because the people who are writing docs don't want to have to worry about navigation and organization that just want to write a little howto or something07:21
LaserJocks/that/they/07:21
LaserJockI don't think you would have to go through several pages07:21
lucasthen they can just add a link somewhere to their page07:22
LaserJockbut I could be wrong. I mean that is just what I personaly find helpful07:22
lucasanyway, just writing a little howto in a random place without seeing the global picture is a bad idea IMHO07:22
LaserJockright but that is how the wiki ended up this way and really it isn't to bad if you add a layer of navigation and organization, I don't think07:23
lucaswell, I'm personally not very happy with the wiki currently07:23
lucasand I think that a lot of people have problems understand what MOTU is about etc07:23
LaserJockso basically you would like to have a page on each topic will all the content for that topic07:24
LaserJockright but that is why we need to fix it07:24
lucasmaybe subpages when the page gets very long07:24
lucasbut currently, we have A LOT of redundancy07:25
lucasdholbach: about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTUToMerge07:25
lucascouldn't we just manage the lists via launchpad bugs ?07:25
lucasaren't the lists redundant ?07:25
lucaslike: when a merge is ready, the bug is assigned to motureviewers07:25
=== memet`s2ci [n=raptoid@85.102.195.32] has joined #ubuntu-motu
LaserJockok, my problem is that I see the problem as a navigational more so than content07:26
lucaswhen the upload is done, the motureviewers adds a comment07:26
=== memet`s2ci [n=raptoid@85.102.195.32] has left #ubuntu-motu []
lucasand when the package is built everywhere, somebody closes the bug07:26
LaserJocklucas: well MOTUToMerge predates motureviewers07:26
lucasok, so we could just add a note in bold to MOTUToMerge saying to use motureviewers, no ?07:27
LaserJockwell, http://revu.tauware.de/~sistpoty/MoM/index.py at least07:27
LaserJockwhich it does07:27
=== psusi [i=hidden-u@69.44.168.233] has joined #ubuntu-motu
lucasall this redundancy...07:28
LaserJockvery true07:28
LaserJockbut again I see the problem as navigational07:29
LaserJockpeople don't know they are being redundant if the don't know what is already there07:29
LaserJockalthough I don't think there is that much redundecy with the merging07:30
LaserJockother then how to07:30
LaserJockI think MOTUToMerge has all the info07:30
=== joe_alf [n=joe_alf@pcd644050.netvigator.com] has left #ubuntu-motu []
lucasyep, but the tables at the bottom are not needed07:30
LaserJockwell, kinda07:31
lucassince motureviewers-assigned bugs can be used instead07:31
LaserJockthose also predate motureviewers07:31
LaserJockbut I think they are still valuable07:31
LaserJockI think for merging, REVU and motureviewers are too slow07:32
lucasREVU has nothing to do with merging07:32
=== trulux [n=lorenzo@unaffiliated/trulux] has joined #ubuntu-motu
LaserJockdoesn't motureviewrs use REVU? maybe I am way off07:33
lucasnah, motureviewers uses bug reports with a debdiff attached07:34
LaserJockwhat is it used for then?07:34
LaserJockonly for Malone patches?07:35
lucaswell motureviewers is a LP team07:35
LaserJockok, well maybe there is redundancy there then. but that is mostly due to evolving processes for merging07:37
LaserJockanyway, I really feel that the MOTU wiki needs to seperate navigation/organization and content to some degree07:38
LaserJockbut I'm not sure to what degree and how to best achieve it07:38
LaserJockmaybe eventually a lot of the MOTU stuff will need to move off the wiki07:39
lucasgoing home. will be back soon.07:43
psusiI'm trying to add a new specification to launchpad and it is saying that the name has an error: constraint not satisfied... the name is "PacketCD", what on earth is wrong with that?07:45

chninkelwell I used http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/ongoing-merge/mysql-query-browser/mysql-query-browser_merged.patch08:38
chninkelit put the changelog in this order so I thought it was ok08:38
lucasnever believe the patches from MoM ;)08:38
chninkelok first rule learned ;)08:39
chninkelI had to reapply the same change as in 1.1.17-4ubuntu108:40
chninkeldo I have to mention it again in my changelog entry ?08:40
lucasit's better08:41
chninkelok08:41
lucasthe more info you put in your -ubuntu changelog entry, the easier it will be for the next person doing a merge08:42
lucasbut maybe, in this case, you should check that libmysqlclient15-dev still doesn't exist on dapper08:42
=== lucas powers up his devel system to check :-)
chninkelstill doesn't exist08:44
chninkelalready checked ;)08:45

lucashave you rebuilt the package etc ?08:46
chninkelyes08:46
chninkelbut the binary doesnt' work08:46
chninkelbut the previous package segfaulted08:46

GregorR-LShould a debian/copyright file have multiple "Copyright Holder" lines?08:49
chninkelI will try to look at this bug but I first wanted to know if I did the merge thing correctly08:49
lucaschninkel: have you checked if it is reported in the debian BTS ?08:49
chninkellucas: the segfault bug was filed, but the new binary crashes with a different error message08:51
chninkellucas: I will try to setup a debian unstable environement to test08:52

KyralIs it safe to say that the OSI Approved Licenses are the same ones we can use (ie, if a package falls under one of them we can use it)09:29
tsengeh its more complicated than that09:30
tsengfor an extreme case see the fluendo mp3 thread09:30
tsengbut ftp-master checks all that on new packages09:30
Kyraloh I was wondering what that thing was about09:31
raphinkhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/REVU09:32
raphinkbbl09:32
Kyraloh boy09:33
KyralSome non-coder asked me to explain Open Source and why some game doesn't fall under it09:34
psusi"Because they don't give you the source code"09:34
KyralActually they are in this case09:34
psusithen it is open source ;)09:34
Kyral...but I don't see a license anywhere09:34
KyralI meant by the OSI def09:35
psusino license at all?09:35
Kyralno09:35
psusithen it's in the public domain, wee! ;)09:35
Kyralwww.uplink.co.tk09:35
KyralYou have to buy the source09:35
Kyralguy is claiming once you have it you do whatever09:35
psusido you sign a license agreement when you do that?09:35
KyralI dunno09:36
KyralI'm not tryin' it09:36
psusiwell, whatever it's license is, if they give you the source code, its open source in my book ;)09:36
tsengif you pay for the source, its not exactly open at all09:36
KyralHe plans to mod it and release it as a new game09:36
Kyralyah thats my point09:36
Kyralthat I'm trying to drill into him09:37
psusiI consider it open source even if you pay for it... you got the source and you can modify it... that's what OSS is about, not free as in beer09:37
tsengi guess you might be able to release code under the bsd, ship a binary and charge to see the code09:37
tsengor mit09:37
psusiKyral: depends on what the license is... he may not be able to distribute it to others... and in any case, he certainly can't release it as a new game without crediting the original authors09:38
KyralOh I know that09:38
Kyralabout crediting09:38
Kyralits common decenty to credit the original authors anyway09:38
tsenganyway this converstaion seems to be totally based in a hypothetical plane09:38
Kyralyah good point09:38
psusitseng: exactly... it doesn't matter weather you pay for it or not... or if you can redistribute it... if you got the source, that's what matters09:38
=== Kyral shuts up
tsengpsusi: eh microsoft gives people source under strict conditions09:39
tsengits not open or free in the same sense as osi09:39
psusibut... if you got the source code to this game without agreeing to a license, and there isn't one clearly posted in the source itself... it sounds like it's in the public domain09:39
tsengor gnu09:39
psusitseng: right... conditions that are far more strict than they give the binaries under... which is to say, you buy a copy of windows, you don't get the source... hence, it's not open source09:40
