[12:48] azeem: how long should it take to hit the archives? incoming is pretty fast, right? [12:49] it's past dinstall, it'll get installed tomorrow [12:49] in about 20 hours [12:50] great [12:50] have you seen the Ubuntu patches? [12:51] (we can sync from incoming if you need it synced) [12:52] well, it won't hurt to wait [12:52] surely won't [12:54] I'm just excited, that's all [12:54] time to snarf some patches [12:54] it's the app that could make my department turn to linux :-) [12:55] mwuahahaha [12:55] LaserJock: I synced with Ubuntu in 1.91-3 [12:56] azeem: ok, great. I hope we did things ok on the Ubuntu end [12:56] the more I work on Ubuntu the more I hate divergence [12:57] ok, I don't get the difference between Build-Depends and Build-Depends-Indep [12:57] Build-Depends-Indep is only useful if you build both binary-arch and binary-indep pacakges [12:58] you can put stuff in there which is needed during the build-indep: target [12:58] like tetex, jadetex, sgml stuff, etc. [12:59] hmm, so if a package has only binary-indep? [01:00] everything needed for clean: has to be in Build-Depends [01:00] right [01:00] and everything else in Build-Depends-Indep? [01:00] so I guess it makes no sense to split it up into B-D and B-D-I in those cases [01:01] I don't quit understand how to seperate what's Build-Depends and B-D-I === cbx33 [n=pete@ubuntu/member/cbx33] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:01] I'm here [01:01] cbx33: welcome back [01:01] hi azeem [01:01] I understand that B-D is for clean [01:01] LaserJock: I'd rather say B-D is for everything [01:01] well, yes [01:02] except for additional stuff needed for binary-all packages, like building documentation [01:02] but the difference between B-D and B-D-I seems to be mostly in the clean rule [01:02] that's just an artefact of policy IMHO [01:02] k [01:03] ok, so the Policy footnote has: If you make "build-indep" or "binary-indep", you need Build-Depends and Build-Depends-Indep. [01:03] hrm [01:03] so do you put everything but what is needed in clean: in B-D-I? [01:05] I *kinda* understand the difference between B-D and B-D-I but I don't quite get how you tell what to put in each [01:05] and I'm completely lost on both [01:06] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html [01:06] LaserJock: both Build-Depends and Build-Depends-Indep (if present) need to be satisfied at build: === Heretician [i=Heretici@69-162-126-203.clvdoh.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:06] right [01:06] so most libfoo-dev are for Build-Depends [01:06] only B-D at clean [01:07] while the debhelper/cdbs/dpatch etc. stuff is needed at clean [01:07] unfortunately, there's no destinction between the two [01:08] but you can't put the libfoo-dev (which isn't needed at clean) into B-D-I, that would break debian/rules build-arch [01:08] if present [01:08] cbx33: because you migrated B-D -> B-D-I in debian/control, you need to make the corresponding adjustments in debian/rules [01:08] ok [01:08] can you help me with that [01:09] everything has been moved to build-indep [01:09] ok, so I'm guess (from the Policy and lintian output) that if you are using binary-indep you should put the all the deps in B-D-I except those needed for the clean rule [01:09] which would be debhelper? [01:09] at least in cbx33's case were he has no binary-dep [01:09] cbx33: right [01:11] so i need build-depends [01:11] note that the point of B-D-I was to avoid having to install those on the autobuilders [01:11] and build-depends-indep [01:11] IMHO it's fine to just have everything in B-D for pure Arch: all packages, but maybe there is a rule against [01:12] cbx33: things like cdbs, debhelper, and python should not be B-D-I [01:12] cbx33: things like python-all-dev and python-central should be B-D-I [01:13] ok [01:13] cbx33: I think you problem was because you had some stuff in binary-indep and some stuf in binary-arch [01:13] when you should have all of it in binary-indep === MatthewV [n=MatthewV@CPE-139-168-227-97.wa.bigpond.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:14] :S:S:S [01:14] crimsun, did you say I should split them [01:14] and LaserJock did you say I shoulnd't?

[01:16] I'm referring to debian/control atm [01:16] I'll look at debian/rules now [01:16] yeah, I get that [01:16] thanks crimsun === Arrogance [n=aks@ottawa-hs-64-26-167-180.d-ip.magma.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:17] heh, there's a fairly nice way to avoid it if you'd like [01:17] switch to cdbs ;) [01:17] lol [01:18] that built fine [01:18] make it disapper through magic [01:18] so I've edited the control file [01:18] what am I doing with rules [01:19] cbx33: can you pastebin your control and rules files? [01:19] yes [01:19] http://pastebin.ca/88444 [01:20] hmm, I wonder how easy that would be with CDBS? a 2-3 liner?

[01:23] he needs to run lintian [01:23] I think it may barf on dh_py* being in binary-indep, which would make sense [01:24] hmmm [01:24] because of the compiling?

[09:21] heretician: er, it'll show you the ones that arent installed, and give you teh otpion to install them [09:21] Even better :) [09:22] heretician: you'd have to look at debian/control in the source, or apt-cache show foo, to get all the dependancies it wants to build [09:22] apt-cache showsrc foo to get the Build-Depends [09:23] bug 53041 fwiw [09:23] Malone bug 53041 in amap "fails install trying to connect to unknown host" [Untriaged,Unconfirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/53041 [09:25] StevenK: ah, is that it. i'll have to remember htat === Gloubiboulga [n=gauvain@ubuntu/member/gloubiboulga] has joined #ubuntu-motu [09:26] Yall wouldnt mind if I keep my packaging-related questions directed to this channel instead of #ubuntu would you? Ubuntu seems to be already too filled up with.. everything else. [09:27] heretician: yeah, that's what this is here for. mostly. [09:28] well, it's more repo packaging than general packaging, but it's otherwise quiet [09:28] After I learn general packaging, i'll be moving on to repo packaging ;) [09:28] hehe [09:33] "Another technique to determine which package to use is using the auto-apt tool or the apt-file tool (auto-apt might be faster)." [09:34] By any chance could that be translated into more.. plain english [09:34] it just jumped from needing build-dependencies installed in the package, to needing packages installed in the package === phanatic [n=phanatic@ubuntu/member/phanatic] has joined #ubuntu-motu [09:42] morning [09:42] hi phanatic [09:43] hey Hobbsee [09:43] heretician: auto-apt can get things wrong.

[09:56] ha [09:56] point made then [09:56] mainly because of the wya it's used. [09:56] ooowww don't talk about checkinstall or alien [09:56] instead of sodu make you will be using sudo checkinstall, the package can be easily removed now with sudo dpkg -r packagename or by synaptic === Hobbsee shudders. dont mention those two in the same sentence! === Arbiter feels sick === Hobbsee makes a mental note to slaughter whoever fixed checkinstall. the segfault was so good! [09:57] let's see if the REVU keyring was refreshed [09:57] ;) [09:57] heretician: yeah, it is good for that - for your own system. but most people try to distribute them, and then they become Highly Evil (tm), and Ought To Be Shot (tm) [09:58] Arbiter: did you add yourself to the group in the topic? [09:58] yeah [09:58] nixternal: you probably want to get yourself added to that keyring for revu, btw [09:58] Arbiter: cool :) [09:58] teach me ol' wise one ;) [09:58] Lorenzo Villani is a member of: [09:58] * Contributors of packages for ubuntu universe (Approved) [09:58] ;) [09:58] Well, i'm doing this while having the ubuntu community in mind, not my own system [09:58] baleted [09:59] heretician: hehe [09:59] Arbiter: nice :) [09:59] nixternal: check out w.u.c/REVU [09:59] ty === Hobbsee considers what to work on next. === heretician considers what to work on first.

Version 1.5.3-3ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 34 kB, installed size 132 kB [10:02] or not have universe added? [10:02] er [10:02] dont know what you mean hehe.. === NthDegree [n=NthDegre@212-1-144-196.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:02] but, i have it checked to read ALL repositories [10:02] universe is added [10:02] cool feature ubotu [10:02] !info smartpm [10:02] smartpm: An alternative package manager that works with dpkg/rpm.

I was thinking more of smartpm developer-- my luck :P [10:05] hehe [10:05] apt-cache definitely cant be used to remove packages. [10:05] Which apt is? [10:06] apt-get remove [10:06] better with --purge :P [10:06] and with sudo [10:06] :/ [10:06] Guess i should get used to using sudo behind everything though === Arbiter loves sudo [10:06] heretician: well, behind the stuff that needs it [10:07] heretician: for stuff that you're using a lot of sudo for, you can use sudo -s or sudo -i === _jaldhar [n=jaldhar@c-68-38-202-139.hsd1.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:07] Its morseso having to type in my password that is annoying me. I dont use numkeys(habit) and my password for Ubuntu is all numbers ;( [10:08] And I make a quick mental note of wether i typed it in correctly by looking at how many asterisks are there [10:08] heretician: heh, true [10:08] or.. big black blobs [10:08] hehe [10:10] would "sudo apt-file install autoconf" be a working command? [10:10] heretician: ah, try it? === Hobbsee wonders what apt-file does. [10:10] Guide says its identical to apt-auto [10:11] hmmm okay === coyctecm [n=coy@a84-230-81-205.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:11] ha! the keyring was refreshed! [10:11] ... === Hobbsee doesnt use that either. [10:11] What are you using Hobbsee? [10:11] And are you a member of MOTU? [10:12] heretician: i'm going for motu on wednesday, i do a fair bit of kubuntu packaging [10:12] kubuntu has something different than apt-file i guess? [10:12] and good luck :) [10:12] well, i use a pbuilder, so it automatically finds if i dont have the build-deps, and if they're listed in debian/control they're automatically installed [10:13] thanks. === Hobbsee is going nuts without upload rights. [10:13] no, apt-file will run on any *ubuntu system, or debian [10:13] Should I use it aswell.. I'm going to be packaging alot, after I learn how completely? [10:13] Hobbsee, dont forget about RPM-based system with apt4rpm :P [10:13] Arbiter: i've never used that. [10:13] i never want to. [10:14] hehehe [10:14] Hobbsee, the TB is not on tuesday? [10:14] Gloubiboulga: your tuesday. [10:14] Gloubiboulga: my 6am wednesday. [10:14] ah ok :) [10:14] i read a guide a few days about and it was for "Those so new to Ubuntu they don't know the difference between apt and rpm" -- i still dont :? [10:14] ouch, it's at 8pm for me === heretician goes to check and see what pbuilder is [10:16] !pbuilder > heretician [10:16] :> [10:16] Gloubiboulga: yeah, ouch. i'm *not* a morning person [10:16] seems [10:16] complex [10:16] every guide i read seems to make me have to read another guide [10:17] Time to find out how to use the chroot image, for pbuilder... [10:17] hi Gloubiboulga :) [10:17] hello Toadstool :) [10:17] heretician: haha. check out debian maintainers guide if you get bored one day. but guides are great - they beat no guides at all. [10:17] pbuilder seems to be something that a packager couldnt live without so far hehe [10:18] debian maintainers guide .... i think i have that on my todo list [10:18] im just reading guides given to me to read by LaserJock hehe [10:18] heretician: some weird people like using chroots, but after you install deps in the chroot, it's not clean anymore, so how do you know if you need to add more packages to the next package you do? [10:18] hehe, sounds good to me === Hobbsee has never read the full debian maintainers guide [10:18] er === Hobbsee uses sections of it [10:19] i figured chroot was always-clean [10:19] or atleast you could reclean it [10:19] heretician: that's pbuilder, being always clean. [10:19] bleh. can be recleaned, but very painful === Hobbsee hates chroots [10:19] okies [10:19] pbuilder has became 50% less useful then [10:20] haha [10:20] Gloubiboulga: TB at 8pm? according to the schedule on #u-meeting it's at 10pm... [10:20] Toadstool: dont joke with me like that [10:20] pbuilder create will create a base chroot image. The distribution code-name needs to be specified with the --distribution command-line option. Usually, "sid" is used, and the default is now sid. - couldnt this be used over and over again? === Hobbsee kicks Toadstool [10:21] Toadstool: 2200 is 10pm, 2000 is 8pm. [10:21] lol === Hobbsee mutters about mean and nasty Toadstools giving her the hope of not needing to get up so early on wednesday, only to be wrong. [10:21] why the hell Xgl doesn't work? i want the cube effect XD [10:21] Toadstool, ah yes, 20UTC... [10:21] Hobbsee: UTC yeah, Paris -> UTC+2 [10:22] Toadstool: true, thought you were referring to UTC time [10:22] no :) === Arbiter starts the daily dist-upgrade for edgy...

[10:32] Gloubiboulga: not that broken. [10:32] :) [10:32] Gloubiboulga: for that, you can ack a sync for me, thanks :P [10:32] heh [10:32] i'd just better check that it will actually sync first :P [10:32] if its name doesn't start with k that's ok [10:33] ;) [10:33] Gloubiboulga: haha, actually it doesnt [10:33] it starts with an f [10:33] ok, I'll do it then [10:34] hehe === Hobbsee should have run this ssh thru screen again :( [10:34] Lets say someone does not have a ./configure installed in their package, and nothing about it in their README.. sudo apt-get install autoconf would definitely not work alone, so do i need to add the package name at the end? [10:34] Or something else? [10:35] heretician, I think I don't clearly understand what you want to do [10:36] create a configure file [10:36] Gloubiboulga: add autoconf to build-deps, i think. please explain it, as i'm stuck with that atm too [10:36] grah, python-gnome2-extras still not installable... I can't test gnome-sudoku [10:37] heretician, you want to create the configure file for a package or for a software of yours? [10:37] Toadstool: maybe install ksudoku instead? === Hobbsee runs [10:38] For a package [10:38] Hobbsee: tss :) [10:38] Toadstool: what's the extended form of that? [10:39] heretician, if it uses the autotools but the configure is not generated yet, you'll have to generate it in debian/rules [10:40] and as Hobbsee said, you'll need to build-depend on autoconf & co to make this work [10:40] Says I have to look for config.ac [10:40] er configure.gc [10:40] ac [10:40] Gloubiboulga: hwo do you generate it in debian/rules? === Hobbsee tries to avoid new packages like the plague [10:40] Hobbsee, by calling ./autogen.sh ? :) [10:40] autoconf? [10:41] well [10:41] Gloubiboulga: ahhhh...right. [10:41] Gloubiboulga: what's the syntax for that? feel free to point me to documentation [10:42] Hobbsee, hm, google? I don't know where you can find documentation [10:42] basically what i was trying to avoid asking is something that is really making me misunderstand this entire guide-- some places it adds in the detail at the end of a command, and sometimes it doesnt. Im not sure if I should use those commands that it does not add at the end WITH or WITHOUT the package name at the end [10:42] Gloubiboulga: a package with a similar situation, where i could grab the source would do :P [10:42] like ./configure for example [10:42] is it ./configure or just ./configure ? [10:43] ah! [10:43] no need to add the [10:43] Hobbsee, usually you don't find such packages [10:43] what about for autoconf? [10:43] Gloubiboulga: ah right [10:43] heretician, the same I guess [10:43] Alrighty [10:44] Hobbsee, except for svn/cvs snapshot, but in this case you generate yourself a nice tarball with a nice configure file [10:44] Hobbsee: that was just an attempt to write some kind of "i-hate-kde" noise :P [10:44] Toadstool: ahh :P [10:44] Gloubiboulga: right, okay === Hobbsee found one. [10:45] which one? [10:46] Gloubiboulga: kdocker or something - it's new [10:47] i love making debian packages [10:47] :> [10:48] whats the command to list all build-depends needed for a certain package? === lloydinho [n=andreas@rosinante.egmont-kol.dk] has joined #ubuntu-motu === doko [n=doko@dslb-088-073-103-117.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:50] heretician, apt-cache can do that :) [10:50] er, whats the full command for it?
