| buxy | and which causes serious problems since they are trying to provide the same kind of information than Debian packages (dependency resolution between python modules) except that it doesn't match well with the packaging | 12:03 |

| Spec | it's a new python packaging thing | 12:12 |
| Spec | looks like a zip file to me | 12:12 |
| Spec | so, umm, what should I do about packaging an egg? just throw the egg in site-packages? :p | 12:13 |
| Spec | or should i stick to the older convention of just having a folder of the module name in the site-packages | 12:13 |

| LaserJock | hmm, well reminds me of branding calves in Montana | 05:04 |
| Hobbsee | i havent updated yet | 05:04 |
| Hobbsee | can i copy the deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives/ and paste them into my new install? | 05:04 |
| Hobbsee | or do i need more files? | 05:04 |
| minghua | Hobbsee: you can use old .debs, just bind mount your /var/cache/apt/archives would be simplest | 05:05 |
| minghua | although a local mirror is probably a better idea for long-term | 05:05 |
| Hobbsee | ok, cool | 05:06 |
| Hobbsee | i only want to do it once | 05:06 |

| natroll | ajmitch, this is just uni, multi, main, restricted with sourc for i386 | 05:07 |

| tepsipakki | Hi! As dapper is now getting six week more testing and localisation time, is it possible to add openoffice.org-soikko (+libsoikko) which is a hyphenation addon for OO.o. The problem with libsoikko is that it isn't open source, but freely distributable (http://users.tkk.fi/~pry/soikko/license.txt) | 09:40 |
| tepsipakki | it has been packaged for debian and ubuntu for a long time already, and the hyphenation quality is excellent | 09:41 |
| Tm_T | +1 for having that | 09:41 |
| Tm_T | (not that I need, but many will) | 09:42 |
| Tm_T | and does | 09:42 |
| minghua | tepsipakki: are both of them in multiverse now? | 09:42 |
| Tm_T | minghua: problem is that they are not yet | 09:42 |
| tepsipakki | minghua: neither :/ | 09:42 |
| Tm_T | but we should have them | 09:43 |
| tepsipakki | yeah, the freeze is long gone | 09:43 |
| tepsipakki | currently users need to find a suitable package from here http://www.lemi.fi/oo2-soikko/ | 09:43 |
| minghua | well, I suppose the first step is to get a package ready, test them on dapper | 09:43 |
| minghua | oh good. any body tested it? | 09:43 |
| tepsipakki | yes | 09:43 |
| Tm_T | minghua: I know many active users of soikko | 09:44 |
| tepsipakki | oh let me test first.. we have it for sarge+OO.o2 backport | 09:44 |
| Tm_T | tepsipakki: you see? ;) | 09:44 |
| minghua | tepsipakki, Tm_T: I don't really know the policy for new packages, but please contact people in #ubuntu-l10n about localization issues | 09:44 |
| tepsipakki | yes, we have 200+ sarge workstations and soikko is installed on all of them | 09:44 |
| minghua | tepsipakki: no, I mean test it on dapper | 09:45 |
| tepsipakki | sure | 09:45 |
| tepsipakki | my workstation is dapper ;) | 09:45 |
| Tm_T | what? there's other than dapper? | 09:45 |
| tepsipakki | the sarge version is for gcc3.3, but dapper needs the gcc3.4-version, so that's why it isn't on our local mirror... | 09:46 |
| === Tm_T should be polishing Kopete package, but nah, beta2 is almost out | ||
| minghua | tepsipakki: this soikko software is written in c++? | 09:46 |
| tepsipakki | minghua: I'm not sure, maybe so if it specifies gcc-version | 09:47 |
| tepsipakki | http://dtw.silverentertainment.fi/oo2-soikko/ | 09:47 |
| tepsipakki | that's the place for packages, hold on | 09:47 |
| minghua | tepsipakki: feel free to write a mail to ubuntu-motu mailing list and state the situations | 09:48 |
| minghua | but binary only stuff are always tricky, so make sure you've done enought investigation first | 09:48 |
| tepsipakki | minghua: great, I'll do that! | 09:48 |
| minghua | Hmm, is that webpage finnish? | 09:49 |
| tepsipakki | yes, sorry about that :) | 09:49 |
| tepsipakki | there was a problem with OO.o on dapper that resulted soikko failing to install, but it was fixed a week ago, I think | 09:50 |
| tepsipakki | the bug was in OO.o-packages | 09:51 |
| minghua | just remember to give more details in English when you write the mail :-) | 09:51 |
| tepsipakki | yeah ;) | 09:51 |
| Tm_T | haha | 09:51 |

| === ajmitch wonders at the guys around here.. | ||
| Hobbsee | ajmitch: ah yes, but it's minor compared to what i get in work most shifts... | 10:25 |
| highvoltage | hi ajmitch. going well this side, you? | 10:25 |
| Hobbsee | but true, yes | 10:25 |
| ajmitch | Hobbsee: really? | 10:25 |
| Hobbsee | ajmitch: yes, unfortunately | 10:25 |
| ajmitch | highvoltage: good, got a new box up & running | 10:25 |
| highvoltage | nice | 10:26 |
| ajmitch | Hobbsee: we'll try & muzzle those here that are less restrained :) | 10:26 |
| Hobbsee | oh goody... | 10:26 |

| === Hobbsee will just make sure she has ajmitch as a body guard, if she ever meets these people in person | ||
| ajmitch | hah | 10:27 |
| Hobbsee | :P | 10:28 |
| ajmitch | Hobbsee: I heard you saying earlier that you liked GNOME? | 10:28 |
| ajmitch | what happened? | 10:29 |
| Hobbsee | ajmitch: some alien came and messed with my brain. i compiled networkmanager and libsomethingorother, to try out knetworkmanager, couldnt get that to compile, so installed the base of gnome (although a lot had been installed already), and today installed the full thing. i like the orange! but the lack of a run command is seriously starting to annoy me | 10:30 |
| ajmitch | soon you'll be joining the GNOME team & loving every minute of it | 10:31 |
| Hobbsee | hehe | 10:31 |
| Hobbsee | i did notice some very nice stuff in there | 10:31 |
| ajmitch | excellent, sound driver works properly in this new motherboard | 10:33 |
| ajmitch | seems that all the hardware is working nicely | 10:33 |
| ajmitch | (with the exception of the SATA drives which aren't installed) | 10:33 |
| === ajmitch thinks this will compile stuff fairly fast ;) | ||
| Hobbsee | yay! | 10:35 |
| Hobbsee | hehe | 10:35 |

| Hobbsee | wow | 10:37 |
| Hobbsee | right | 10:37 |
| === Hobbsee will remember that | ||
| Mithrandir | Hobbsee: or map something to gnome-panel-control --run-dialog | 10:37 |
| Mithrandir | (which is f2 by default, it seems) | 10:37 |
| Hobbsee | *nods* | 10:37 |
| ajmitch | alt-f2 should be mapped | 10:37 |
| Mithrandir | possibly alt-f2 | 10:38 |
| Hobbsee | alt+f2 would not bring up the run dialog, nor would windows+r | 10:38 |
| Mithrandir | (I don't use metacity, so I don't have the default maps.) | 10:38 |
| ajmitch | works for me on flight5 live cd, which is a fairly standard setup | 10:38 |
| Hobbsee | but i'll try that deskbar-applet the next time i boot to gnome | 10:38 |
| Mithrandir | deskbar-applet is really nice since it'll do stuff like search your bookmarks, etc as well | 10:39 |
| Hobbsee | katapult equivalent, then? | 10:39 |
| Mithrandir | never used katapult, but I think so, yes. | 10:39 |

| Tm_T | 3G ram would be nice | 11:23 |

| sivang | would anyone review my package just as a head start? I want to get more stuff in before it's acutally uploaded, so I won't use REVU for now. | 11:27 |
| sivang | as I expect the packaging the remains same, would be good to take off packaging mistakes now. | 11:28 |
| === ajmitch can get this laptop swapping, even with 1GB RAM | ||
| StevenK | ajmitch: I've had a machine at work swap hard, with 2Gb. | 11:29 |

| Amaranth | 33847 should be marked as fixed in debian | 04:09 |
| Amaranth | but it's not | 04:09 |
| Hadaka | Hello, are there a lot of packages in Ubuntu which aren't in Debian? Do the requirements on packages differ for Debian and Ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| Amaranth | it's easier to get a package into universe, i guess | 04:12 |
| Yagisan | Hadaka: Did you know you name means naked in Japanese ? no, there aren't too many packages that are only in Ubuntu | 04:13 |
| === Yagisan will leave it as an exercise too the reader to work out where he learned that word | ||
| Hadaka | Yagisan: Yes, certainly. | 04:14 |
| Yagisan | as Amaranth said, it is easier to get a package into Ubuntu. You package it, send it to revu, and if it passes peer review, it gets in | 04:15 |
| Yagisan | however, it is your baby to look after | 04:15 |
| Amaranth | not really | 04:15 |
| Amaranth | once it's in ubuntu anyone can touch it | 04:15 |
| Amaranth | unlike in debian where you own packages | 04:16 |
| Yagisan | assuming they know the language | 04:16 |
| Yagisan | if you are still around after uploading a package it is nice | 04:16 |
| Amaranth | aye | 04:16 |
| Yagisan | sorry if my point was badly worded | 04:16 |
| Amaranth | it's expected that you can be called on to answer questions about the package and/or fix small bugs | 04:16 |
| Amaranth | not required, but you'll be getting emails :p | 04:17 |
| Yagisan | so, Hadaka, what did you have in mind ? | 04:18 |
| Hadaka | Yagisan: well, there's a package that would be nice to get into Ubuntu, but it's not really playing too nicely with everything, so I'm wondering how much cleanup it would require before being admitted | 04:19 |
| === spacey [n=herman@ubuntu/member/spacey] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||

| dolson | how does one get an @ubuntu.com email address? | 05:20 |
| crimsun | dolson: you have one as a member | 05:20 |
| crimsun | it's set to your primary LP e-mail | 05:21 |
| dolson | oh. so it's already set up | 05:21 |
| natroll- | ok, http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/NV1ItR36.html | 05:21 |
| bddebian | crimsun: It never worked for me :-) | 05:21 |
| natroll- | i can't discern the error, but i may be messing thins up royally | 05:21 |
| bddebian | But that's because elmo hates me :-) | 05:21 |
| crimsun | natroll-: we actually need the Makefile | 05:21 |
| dolson | my default LP email is dana@ubuntustudio.com | 05:22 |
| crimsun | bddebian: it's all automated on LP now | 05:22 |
| jaldhar | crimsun: rules is a makefile | 05:22 |

| jaldhar | crimsun: oops just spotted that! | 05:22 |
| bddebian | crimsun: Well according to LP, I'm an MOTU, etc but not a member :-) | 05:22 |
| crimsun | bddebian: I believe someone in CC takes care of that, perhaps Kamion? Seveas would know. | 05:23 |
| jaldhar | natroll-: on line 20, are you sure it is blank, there are no tabs or spaces etc.? | 05:23 |
| natroll- | my rules file | 05:23 |
| natroll- | http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/6e30fh76.html | 05:23 |
| crimsun | siretart: haven't, no | 05:23 |
| Seveas | bddebian, I remember you becoming a member | 05:23 |
| natroll- | jaldhar, blank | 05:24 |
| bddebian | Seveas: Yeah, though I probably don't deserve it lately :-( | 05:24 |
| Seveas | bddebian, members aren | 05:24 |
| Seveas | 't deactivated automatically | 05:24 |
| Seveas | put it on the CC agenda | 05:25 |
| bddebian | No, it was never activated on LP | 05:25 |
| crimsun | natroll-: everything under a target needs to be tab-ified | 05:25 |
| natroll- | wait, do i have to have the files being moved in the makefile inside the debian directory? | 05:25 |
| crimsun | natroll-: spaces are very different from tabs as Makefile separators | 05:26 |
| jaldhar | natroll-: not necessary. atleast that might be a different error. fix this one first | 05:26 |
| crimsun | (your debian/rules is fine; it's a red herring) | 05:26 |
| natroll- | well, that tab thing fixed that part, but the rest is royally messed up | 05:27 |
| crimsun | "the rest"? | 05:27 |
| crimsun | as in line 3 onward? | 05:28 |

| === jinty [n=jinty@115.Red-80-24-9.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| natroll- | no, i assume that fakeroot should lead to errors such as 'can't create file' and whatnot, right? | 05:29 |
| siretart | ok, I've sent him an email | 05:30 |
| natroll- | wow, what a mess this is | 05:31 |
| crimsun | fakeroot can't override the actual permissions in the dirs | 05:32 |
| natroll- | yeah, so it's ok that it fails or not? | 05:32 |
| crimsun | if permissions are the culprit, then yes | 05:32 |
| natroll- | I get this too: dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends} | 05:33 |
| crimsun | i.e., you can't use fakeroot in /usr/src and expect it to work if you're not in the src group (and aren't root, etc.) | 05:33 |
| natroll- | hey guys, cleared up a few more errors and now I get this: http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/CGbo4R81.html | 05:43 |

| LaserJock | grrr, I can't figure out why my @ubuntu.com is acting weird | 07:25 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: dpkg -c *.deb is much easier to use to figure out what is getting installed where | 07:27 |
| natroll- | LaserJock, oooh, nice, i'll try it | 07:27 |
| jaldhar | or debc from the devscripts package | 07:28 |

| LaserJock | jaldhar: do you have anything like a rough draft of your packaging book? | 07:28 |
| natroll- | how do you get it to include the files in the package and distribute them to the proper directory upon installation? | 07:28 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: ok, lets take this one step at a time | 07:29 |
| natroll- | lol, mmkay | 07:29 |
| LaserJock | wanna take this to #ubuntu-motu-school? | 07:29 |

| LaserJock | jaldhar: I might call upon you to review the Ubuntu Packaging Guide if that's ok with you ;-) | 07:34 |
| jaldhar | natroll-: the thing is you need to have the results go into debian/<packagename> (assuming you are using debhelper level 4) in order to go into the package | 07:35 |
| jaldhar | LaserJock: sure | 07:35 |
| natroll- | wait, how do i make the results go into debian/packagename? | 07:36 |
| jaldhar | natroll- so I would add a variable PREFIX or some such and append that to the beginning of every instance of /root/.local | 07:36 |
| jaldhar | PREFIX=$(CURDIR)/debian/foo | 07:37 |
| jaldhar | $(PREFIX)/root/.local | 07:37 |
| LaserJock | jaldhar: he is using DESTDIR in debian/rules but he has no DESTIDIR or PREFIX in his Makefile | 07:38 |
| natroll- | argh? | 07:38 |
| jaldhar | call it DESTDIR then not PREFIX | 07:38 |
| natroll- | kk | 07:38 |
| natroll- | and where should I set it in the makefile, under install? | 07:39 |
| jaldhar | natroll-, yeah. It looks like your clean target is not really relevant | 07:39 |
| natroll- | jaldhar, well, will it assume the removal of those files otherwise? | 07:40 |
| jaldhar | natroll-: to clarify, you set the variable at the top of the Makefile. You do the $(DESTDIR)/root/.local thing in the install target | 07:40 |
| natroll- | and destdir is / though, right? | 07:40 |
| jaldhar | natroll-: the template clean target in debian/rules will take care of it. | 07:40 |
| natroll- | ok | 07:41 |
| LaserJock | not when you are making the packages | 07:41 |
| natroll- | oh, so it's the current directory | 07:41 |
| jaldhar | natroll-: no DESTDIR (it's case sensitive) would be $(CURDIR)/debian/<packagename> | 07:41 |
| LaserJock | $(DESTDIR) is set to $(CURDIR)/debian/<packagename> | 07:41 |
| jaldhar | that's good | 07:42 |
| natroll- | so set that above the install target..mmkay | 07:42 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: you just need to adjust your Makefile to use $(DESTDIR) | 07:42 |
| natroll- | ok, so don't add it to the top of the makefile but adjust that | 07:43 |
| === Gloubiboulga [n=gauvain@ubuntu/member/gloubiboulga] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| jaldhar | natroll-: well you really ought to set in the Makefile too for those who don't override it on the command line | 07:43 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: give me a sec and I'll paste what I mean ;-) | 07:44 |
| natroll- | jaldhar, ok | 07:44 |
| natroll- | LaserJock, i'm eagerly awaiting :) | 07:44 |
| jaldhar | natroll-: O'reilly has a good book on make. Buy two copies, read one, and whack whoever wrote that Makefile with the other. | 07:44 |
| natroll- | oh wow | 07:45 |
| natroll- | i just understood what's going on | 07:45 |
| natroll- | so the Makefile when executed makes a mock filesystem under debian/packagename that will be 'merged' with the system's filesystem when the package is installed | 07:45 |
| natroll- | well, sortof | 07:46 |
| jaldhar | close enough | 07:46 |
| === raphink [n=raphink@ubuntu/member/raphink] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| natroll- | ok, clean target removed and $(DESTDIR) added to all the paths in the install target | 07:47 |
| natroll- | prepended rather | 07:47 |
| jaldhar | now try it. It should work | 07:47 |
| natroll- | erg, i need to tweak it a bit, it assumes some directories that aren't in the mock filesystem but are present in the real one | 07:48 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: what abot the firefox .desktop going to ~/ ? | 07:50 |
| natroll- | yeah, fixed that | 07:50 |
| natroll- | was from my mangled one from even earlier than this, i overlooked it | 07:50 |
| jaldhar | natroll-: in this case you should fix it in the Makefile but you can also use dh_installdirs or dh_install | 07:50 |
| natroll- | jaldhar, ummmmm, huh? | 07:50 |
| natroll- | jaldhar, let me read about that and i'll get back to ya | 07:50 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: the interesting thing is you really don't need the Makefile since debian/rules is a Makefile | 07:51 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: you can do everything you are doing in debian/rules | 07:51 |
| natroll- | oh ya? | 07:52 |
| natroll- | ugh, i feel like a blind man feeling around for a lightswitch | 07:52 |
| natroll- | not that the lightswitch will help | 07:52 |
| natroll- | cuz i'm blind | 07:52 |
| LaserJock | it's alright, packaging is like that at first ;-) | 07:52 |
| natroll- | errr, i'm really dumb when tired, nevermind me | 07:52 |
| jaldhar | LaserJock: that's true. Sometimes with small programs of my own I do everything in debian/rules. But this way after fixing the Makefile, he can contribute it back upstream | 07:53 |
| LaserJock | jaldhar: but I don't think there is an upstream in this case | 07:53 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: you are trying to make a fubuntu-desktop package right? a metapackage | 07:54 |
| natroll- | nopers | 07:54 |
| natroll- | probably a bad name | 07:54 |
| LaserJock | hmm, ok so is there an upstream? | 07:54 |
| natroll- | it's just for a post-install addition to the gnome menu | 07:55 |
| natroll- | but i can't figure out another good way to do it | 07:55 |
| natroll- | well, another good way that requires no user-interaction (the students != gurus) | 07:55 |
| natroll- | LaserJock, what precisely does upstream mean? I hear it all the time | 07:56 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: upstream is the authors of the software we package | 07:56 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: sometimes it is also used for Debian since we get our packages from them | 07:56 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: if you imagine software as a river flowing from the author to the user we are downstream from the author | 07:57 |
| LaserJock | natroll-: anyway it might be helpful to have a Makefile so that others can use the same source if you think it will be used outside of Ubuntu | 08:00 |

| bddebian | Have any of you tried debmirror? | 10:09 |
| natroll- | LaserJock, well, it refused to make both with dpkg-buildpackage and with just make unless I added a flag in a Makefile.in (--tag=CC) | 10:09 |
| natroll- | LaserJock, is that too specific, it sounds rather generic | 10:09 |
| natroll- | bddebian, I actually just used it the other day | 10:09 |
| bddebian | natroll-: How'd you get it to work? | 10:10 |
| bddebian | I did this: sudo debmirror -a i386 -s main -h mirrors.kernel.org -d dapper -r /ubuntu --progress -e http --ignore-release-gpg /archive/ | 10:10 |
| minghua | natroll-: I think the question goes down to: if you just run ./configure && make && make install, does it work? | 10:10 |
| natroll- | minghua, ahhh, i'd have to try that | 10:10 |
| minghua | natroll-: if no, then bug upstream; if yes, then fix your debian/rules :-) | 10:11 |

| dholbach | LaserJock: pong | 10:46 |
| LaserJock | dholbach: I've been working on Malone 29105 | 10:47 |
| Ubugtu | malone bug 29105 in ubuntu-doc "Docteam .debs lack docbase reigstration" [Normal,In progress] http://launchpad.net/bugs/29105 | 10:47 |
| dholbach | nice | 10:48 |
| LaserJock | dholbach: I've got it all figured out. There is only one sticky point | 10:48 |
| LaserJock | dholbach: the doc base viewers can't access the docs in /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ | 10:49 |
| LaserJock | dholbach: they need to be in /usr/share/doc/ | 10:49 |
| dholbach | sorry, I never worked much with doc-base stuff before | 10:49 |
| dholbach | I suggest you ask in #ubuntu-devel - I'm quite busy atm. :-/ | 10:49 |
| LaserJock | dholbach: so is it ok to create a symlink from /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/html /usr/share/doc/ubuntu-docs/html ? | 10:50 |
| LaserJock | dholbach: oh, np. I just need your approval on the symlinks | 10:50 |
| dholbach | yeah | 10:50 |
| dholbach | sure | 10:50 |
| dholbach | it's the doc-team's package | 10:50 |
| dholbach | it doesn't need my approval :) | 10:50 |
| LaserJock | dholbach: well, but it is also a Main package | 10:50 |
| dholbach | that's fine | 10:51 |
| LaserJock | k, thanks. | 10:51 |

| Kyral | Umm, whats ttthe procedure for when Upstream already has made Debian Packages (nott in Debian) | 11:57 |
| tseng | you ask them to kindly remove debian/ from their tarballs | 11:58 |
| tseng | and surrender ownership | 11:58 |
| tseng | or, join motu :) | 11:58 |
| Kyral | the guy has a source repo :P | 11:58 |
| tseng | is it native or diff.gz? | 11:59 |
| Kyral | basically I have been asked by someone in the Forums to package this | 11:59 |
| Kyral | http://www.kadu.net/wiki/index.php/English:Download:Ubuntu | 11:59 |
| tseng | if he is doing everything right | 11:59 |
| tseng | it is worth asking him to work with ubuntu directly with a sponsor | 11:59 |
| Kyral | yah I'll have to look it over | 11:59 |
| tseng | if its bad, you should get him to fix it before finding a sponsor | 11:59 |
| Kyral | Sponsor == ? | 11:59 |
| tseng | someone who can upload for ubuntu | 12:00 |
| tseng | and wants to help him out | 12:00 |
| Kyral | ah so not me lol | 12:00 |
