[01:52] Yup [01:52] sistpoty: ok... erm... now there is a broken qpsmtpd package in dapper and edgy... probably broke in fiesty too now... what do I do about these different versions etc.? [01:53] sistpoty: create separate diffs for all of them? [01:53] enyc: first get the fix into feisty ;) [01:53] sistpoty: errr hrrm ive never done this before etc. [01:53] enyc: then you'd might want to fix edgy then dapper via a sru (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU for details= === somerville32 hugs Fujitsu [01:54] enyc: I guess we can help ;) [01:54] enyc: are you on feisty already? [01:55] sistpoty: no [01:55] sistpoty: have acces to dapper and edgy machines [01:55] Don't you guys just love it when you try to ssh into a box when it's ip address has changed? haha [01:55] "IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!" === somerville32 gasps. [01:56] Heheh. [01:56] enyc: hm... being on feisty helps a little bit... but otherwise you can get the sourcepackage from packages.ubuntu.com/src: === Fujitsu complains about unreliable ServerPronto servers. [01:56] enyc: just use dget on the .dsc [01:56] (link) [01:56] sistpoty: I can download the 3 files for the feisty source... [01:56] ?dget? [01:57] enyc: same as wget, but it will fetch the three files if you stuff it with a link to a .dsc file [01:57] Ugh oh. :/ [01:57] enyc: package devscripts has it [01:57] sistpoty: which breaks on LP, incidently [01:58] imbrandon, ping [01:58] sistpoty: hrrm how do i install dget on edgy? [01:58] Hobbsee: yes, librarians fault [01:58] somerville32: what were you wanting? [01:58] enyc: apt-get install devscripts [01:58] Hobbsee, I can't login :( [01:58] maybe someone is doing something nasty? :P [01:59] somerville32: what syntax are you using to log in, and did you fix the ip changed address? [01:59] Hobbsee, I removed the offending key on line 13! :D [01:59] And the syntax is: [01:59] ssh federation.imbrandon.com [01:59] of .ssh/known_hosts presumably [02:00] you need to use ssh username@federation.imbrandon.com [02:00] My username is the same as local, I think [02:00] as your username on your home system is often different to the username on his machine [02:00] just try it, anyway [02:00] Well.. then I don't know what my username is, haha [02:00] Hobbsee, can you find me and see? [02:00] *finger [02:00] trying [02:00] imbrandon: ping? [02:01] oh, he's changed the passwords with the new machine [02:01] Oh :/ === somerville32 sighs. [02:01] and it's always random each time, so i couldnt guess what it is [02:02] I guess I'll just have to do things locally === somerville32 pushes the Turbo button. [02:03] sistpoty: right I have the fiesty source 3-files [02:03] somerville32: where are you? [02:04] sistpoty: that has _not_ extracted them like "apt-get source" does.... [02:04] Lathiat: was offering shells on his machine - you may want to ask him for one. he's in perth [02:04] enyc: now run dpkg-source -x *dsc, which will unpack the source package [02:04] Hobbsee, Canada. [02:04] hrm [02:05] sistpoty: this has been done [02:05] sistpoty: interestingly it mumbeles about signatute (using edgy machine) [02:05] strange... [02:06] because you dont have the public key of whoever uploaded it? [02:06] shouldn't be signed at all actually [02:06] well, it is when uploading [02:06] enyc: now change into the dir, and add a new changelog entry. you can use "dch -i" for it [02:07] sistpoty: well thats why it mumbles... because its not signed [02:07] enyc: well, ignore that ;) [02:07] sistpoty: the .dsc is signed [02:08] geser: nice, indeed [02:08] Hobbsee, Do you do mentorships? [02:08] somerville32: mentorships? === Hobbsee wonders if we can change where our email addresses point to [02:08] Hobbsee, Oui. [02:09] somerville32: i dont understand what they are - as in, mentoring for packaging or something? [02:09] Hobbsee, which email addresses? [02:09] * Create /var/run/qpsmtpd in init script [02:09] (Ubuntu bug 72602) [02:09] Hobbsee, Yeah and sponsoring and stuff [02:09] Hobbsee, I want to fast-track to becoming a dev :) [02:09] Fujitsu: the @ubuntu.com and @kubuntu.org [02:10] enyc: also see if the distribution is still unstable, and if so change it to feisty [02:10] somerville32: sort of. people here will answer most questions [02:10] Hobbsee, I believe you change your primary LP email, and wait for it to be synced. [02:10] somerville32: and ubuntu-universe-sponsors is good to subscribe for uploading it [02:10] Fujitsu: ahh, okay [02:10] (or request that it be synced) [02:10] Hobbsee, Yeah, but I want someone I can bug regularly ;p [02:11] somerville32: the people here are regular [02:12] enyc: also the version should have an -XubuntuY suffix, so you should change it to 0.32-4ubuntu1 [02:12] sistpoty: debian/qpsmtpd.init seemingly I need to change.... [02:12] enyc: I was still with the changelog ;) === somerville32 tickles Hobbsee [02:12] qpsmtpd (0.32-4ubuntu0) feisty; urgency=low [02:12] ? [02:12] yes sorry [02:12] nano debian/changelog now [02:13] enyc: great! [02:13] sistpoty: but you suggested -ubuntu1 I wanted -ubuntu0 ;-) erm.. does it matter ? === Hobbsee tickles somerville32 back [02:13] sistpoty: also should there be o - there [02:13] enyc: ubuntu1 is better ;) [02:14] ?? [02:14] hrrm well this looks okay to me! [02:14] enyc: 0.32-4ubuntu1 [02:14] 0.32-4ubuntu1 is the correct versioning scheme. [02:14] enyc: you wont get it through the reviewers [02:14] ok i see [02:15] enyc: 0.32-4 is the old debian version, now we append ubuntu (because it's for ubuntu) and an ubuntu version starting with 1 === enyc wonders whever qpsmtpd (0.32-4ubuntu0) feisty; urgency=low [02:15] eree [02:15] error [02:15] enyc: so if a newer debian version comes in, that would be 0.32-5 and be higher than the ubuntu version === enyc wonders why people get muddles with fiesty vs feisty ;-) [02:15] hehe [02:16] sistpoty: yes I understand... used to seeing these things [02:16] good [02:16] I see that dch debdiff dget are all part of "devscripts" [02:16] Should I use my @ubuntu.com e-mail address now that I have one? [02:16] somerville32: yeah [02:16] enyc: yes... developers are lazy ;) [02:16] somerville32: a) makes you look official, and b) gets filtered less [02:17] Hobbsee: That'll mean I have to setup a gpg sig and everything though, haha [02:17] :D [02:17] sistpoty: Indeed. [02:17] somerville32: you need to anyway, for packaging === somerville32 nods. [02:17] I have one for my gmail account [02:17] btw.: Hobbsee: cool revu trick, if you look at one detail page and are not logged in: just open a new tab and login there, and then reload the old tab [02:18] yep :) [02:18] i've been using that :) [02:18] so am I ;) [02:18] I would use my ubuntu.com one, but the script creating them is buggy, so I use my ubuntu.{org,com}.au instead :) [02:18] sistpoty: it'd be more helpful if i could just login on the same page. or if it would actually keep my login, if the IP is the same [02:18] Whats a good gui front-end for gpg? [02:18] somerville32, seahorse, but don't use a GUI. [02:19] lol [02:19] Hobbsee: it would indeed, and revu2 can do that (but it can do pretty much only do login and not much else) [02:19] Hobbsee: I'm just tooooo lazy ;) [02:20] sistpoty: ahh, fair enough. get coding then :P [02:20] hehe [02:20] Hobbsee! [02:20] hey ajmitch! [02:21] sistpoty: anyway im just reading the init script carefully.... [02:21] Should I have my irc nick in the comment field? [02:22] ie. Cody A.W. Somerville (somerville32) [02:23] sistpoty: so far as I can tell I only need an entry in qpsmtpd_start() ... im not sure what i the best most "neat" mway to do this... I definitely want to do the mkdir whatnot afeter any "bail-out" [02:24] sistpoty: I can use a if ! -d whatnot to only do the mkdir if the dir does not exist... [02:24] somerville32: if you like. i did [02:24] sistpoty: also there is not environment variable for the /var/run location... not that there neend to be... [02:24] somerville32: just because i dont tend to use my real name her [02:24] e [02:25] enyc: ok, it gets a little bit more tricky first, since the package uses a patch system (dpatch) [02:25] enyc: so before you certainly want to create a nice patch === Hobbsee breakfasts [02:25] enyc: please install dpatch === Fujitsu [n=Fujitsu@ubuntu/member/fujitsu] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:26] sistpoty: err... ok installing dpatch === somerville32 pants as he tries to generate enough entropy to generate his new keys. [02:27] edgy/main dpatch 2.0.20 installed [02:27] somerville32, don't you already have a key!? [02:27] enyc: and then in the top source dir, use dpatch-edit-patch (where patchname should be s.th. to match what you are modifying, e.g. fix-init-script) [02:27] Fujitsu, Making one for my new e-mail [02:27] Am I... not suppose to do that? [02:27] enyc: it should go along the names you can find in debian/patches directory [02:28] somerville32, silly you... Just create a new ID on the existing one :) [02:28] Doh! [02:28] Fujitsu, syntax? [02:28] sistpoty: I see .. doing it this way means the patch will likely be applyable to other versions.... [02:29] sistpoty: rather than just creating a debdiff which only applies to the fiesty version by changing it directly [02:29] sistpoty: ? [02:29] somerville32, gpg --edit-key [your key ID here] [02:29] Then adduid [02:29] enyc: kind of... you'll end up with a separate patch in debian/patches, that could be applied to different versions [02:30] enyc: but that patch will then end up in the debdiff [02:30] sistpoty: hrrm what is a "s.th."? [02:30] Fujitsu, So I should now have: [02:30] [ultimate] (1) Cody A.W. Somerville (somerville32) [02:30] [ unknown] (2). Cody A.W. Somerville [02:30] right? [02:30] :D [02:31] enyc: s.th=something, where did I write this? [02:31] enyc, that confused me originally. `Something', I believe. [02:31] somerville32, correct. [02:31] Fujitsu, Do I need to re upload to lp? [02:31] "dpatch-edit-patch init-creates-var-run-qpsmtpd" [02:31] enyc: sounds sane [02:32] somerville32, gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys [your key id] will do it, yes. [02:32] sistpoty: above -- [...] " (where patchname should be s.th. to match what"[...] [02:32] enyc: well, I'm tired and no native speaker ;) [02:32] You don't need to tell LP about they key again though, just upload it to the server. === Simon80 [n=Simon80@bas6-toronto63-1096715533.dsl.bell.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:33] enyc: I'd add the mkdir command directly above the start-stop-daemon call in start to the init-script [02:34] sistpoty: indeeed... [02:34] enyc: and I guess you'll want mkdir -p [02:34] sistpoty: now I either use a if -d stanza whatnot or mkdir -p method... [02:34] enyc: mkdir -p is shorter ;) [02:34] <- lazy as hell [02:35] Hobbsee: ping [02:37] sistpoty: ok.. reading some other init scripts... some check with if ! -d ... some mkdir -p lol [02:38] sistpoty: theres 3 commands actually to create the same permissions as the package installs [02:39] enyc: many ways lead to rom ;) [02:39] +e [02:39] sistpoty: debian/patches/init-creates-var-run-qpsmtpd.dpatch created [02:40] enyc: good, add this one to debian/patches/00list [02:40] sistpoty: however [02:40] sistpoty: I may have done somethin silly... [02:40] enyc: 00list just determines the order in which the patches are applied [02:41] enyc: if these don't overlap, you can use any order [02:41] sistpoty: I have done "chown qpsmtpd:qpsmtpd" on the dir... but there is a RUNAS user mentiond [02:41] sistpoty: maybe I sohuld be chown $RUNAS:$RUNAS incase somebody changes the $RUNAS ? [02:42] enyc: sounds sane... you can use dpatch-edit-patch again to reedit the present patch [02:42] how many times did the word patch appear in my last msg? *g* [02:44] Question: If I don't compile my python code, can I just manually set a python dependency or do I have to use dh-py* scripts and the {python:Depends} thinger? [02:44] chown $RUNAS:$RUNAS /var/run/qpsmtpd [02:44] hrrm [02:44] i wonder if is safe to assume a group exists in the same name as the RUNAS user? [02:45] the debian package installs /var/run/qpsmtpd user qpsmtpd group qpsmtpd mode 2755 === zul [n=bob@ubuntu/member/zul] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:45] merges go under wishlist importance? [02:46] hrrm setgid dir! === somerville32 pokes Hobbsee [02:46] wonder why they make it setgid [02:46] ... is not writable by group anyway! === rexbron [n=rexbron@CPE001310b2d1d1-CM0012256e816a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:47] theCore: heya! [02:47] Hobbsee: If I don't compile my python code, can I just manually set a python dependency or do I have to use dh-py* scripts and the {python:Depends} thinger? [02:48] Hobbsee needs a good poke of the pointy stick of doom === Hobbsee attacks zul with her Long Pointy Stick of DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:48] its Hobbsee! :D [02:48] heh [02:48] haha [02:48] somerville32: better to follow python policy, ie the latter [02:48] sistpoty: see above ;-).. im a little puzziled [02:48] that funniest part is the trademarked trademark [02:48] Hobbsee, I can't get it to work though :( [02:48] Hobbsee, I'll try again and then I'll get your help === bddebian [n=bdefrees@c-71-224-172-103.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:49] sistpoty: i hae no idea why the debian package makes /var/run/qpsmtpd setgid but not group-writable [02:49] enyc: I guess it's setgid in case new subdirs are created === fowlduck [n=duck@68-190-90-101.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:49] enyc: but no real idea atm. [02:49] sistpoty: in combination with the problem that if somebody then changes RUNAS for some reasen... the script now relies on there being a group in the same name as that user [02:50] Heya gang [02:50] hi bddebian [02:50] somerville32: okay [02:50] Heya sistpoty [02:50] Hobbsee, Can you think of a python package that doesn't compile that I can use as an example? [02:50] Morning, bddebian. [02:51] Heya Fujitsu [02:51] somerville32: supybot maybe? anything written in python [02:51] hello bddebian [02:51] Hobbsee: I got supertux! [02:51] Heya joejaxx [02:51] enyc: init-scripts aren't meant to work as is. if s.o. edits the script one can assume that he/she knows what to do [02:51] python doesnt compile as such, does it? like, pre-runtime [02:51] bddebian: :) [02:51] theCore: yay! how stable is it? [02:51] sistpoty: in any case I now have ok [02:51] sistpoty: ok [02:51] bddebian: my merge bug/debdiff status was changed :D [02:51] Hobbsee: it's pretty stable [02:52] sistpoty: in any case I now have the patch I want ... looking into the 00list thing [02:52] Hobbsee, It can be compiled into .pyc [02:52] somerville32, or .pyo [02:52] Right [02:52] joejaxx: To what? [02:52] Hobbsee: at least, it didn't crash [02:52] enyc: 00list is pretty much self-explanatory ;) [02:52] theCore: yay :) [02:52] Hobbsee: would you like to review the package? [02:52] theCore: sure :) [02:52] bddebian: status: fix commited :) [02:53] Hobbsee: http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=3849 [02:53] joejaxx: Ah, nice [02:53] sistpoty: yes... niterseting how some files atre .patch -- some files are .dpatch -- some files are .patch.dpatch [02:53] bddebian: i should do more [02:53] sistpoty: anyway added mine to bottom of list [02:54] sistpoty: So, we doing merges or more reviews? ;-) [02:54] bddebian: how do i use diffstat? [02:54] bddebian: or is it zcat? i've forgotten [02:54] sistpoty: now I have to use debdiff ? [02:54] (to check if the orig tarballs are different) [02:54] Hobbsee, Should I make a man page for my package if it doesn't have one? [02:54] bddebian: I'm too tired to think straight right now *g* [02:54] Hobbsee: Ohh, hmmm I'm not sure I remember [02:54] Give me a sec [02:55] somerville32: yes [02:55] enyc: first you'll need to create a source package... please recheck your debian/changelog (if you create a patch, it doesn't hurt to mention the patch name in the changelog) [02:55] somerville32: you should keep going until you get no warnings from lintian/linda, apart from the bad version and distribution, which are debian-specific [02:55] enyc: then do a dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -S -sa -us -uc [02:55] sistpoty: to make tneh source pkg.. i see [02:56] right [02:56] Hobbsee: diff -urN foo-old foo-new | diffstat > diffstat.txt [02:56] bddebian: neat [02:57] bddebian: presumably i need to convert both to .tar.gz first? [02:57] sistpoty: iirc this sort of thing needs "build-essential fakeroot" [02:58] enyc: then install it ;) === jikanter [n=jordan@4sel-user4.wireless.uic.edu] has joined #ubuntu-motu [02:59] Hobbsee: I would assume so, or maybe you could just view the contents with tar, not sure about that one [02:59] sistpoty: already have those... dpkg-buildpackage is complicated! [02:59] sistpoty: debian packaging is very powerful.... [02:59] bddebian: right [02:59] to merge or review.. That is the question [02:59] enyc: now you should have to .dsc-files, one being the original you downloaded, right? [03:00] (and two .diff.gz's) [03:01] sistpoty: qpsmtpd_0.32-4ubuntu1.diff.gz [03:01] sistpoty: its created a .changes file too [03:01] sistpoty: as well as new .dsc [03:01] sistpoty: bit leaves the same orig.tar.gv which makes sense ;-) [03:01] enyc: yes. the .changes file is useful for uploading, so you won't need that for a debdiff [03:02] enyc: so fire off debdiff ;) [03:02] sistpoty: with both .dsc files as arguments? [03:02] enyc: sure, debdiff will always compare two packages, so it needs to .dsc files [03:02] two [03:03] theCore: reviewed :) we may as well update that, i'm not sure how long debian will take [03:03] sistpoty: I see. now I just need to > thso to a file and upload to the bug ? === cr3 [n=marc@pdpc/supporter/bronze/cr3] has joined #ubuntu-motu [03:03] enyc: yes... :) [03:04] Hobbsee: thanks [03:04] theCore: :) [03:04] sistpoty: is there a naming scheme for .debdiff files? === effie_jayx [n=valles@190.37.226.1] has joined #ubuntu-motu [03:05] What debian/compat is for? debhelper version? [03:05] Yes [03:05] enyc: it's nice to have the package name in it, and to know from and to which version it is... but there isn't a standard really [03:06] bddebian: i get [03:06] supertux_0.3.0.tar.gz |binary [03:06] 1 file changed [03:06] theCore: yep [03:06] ok, thanks bddebian, Hobbsee [03:06] bddebian: that presumably means...? [03:07] sistpoty: hrrm ok [03:07] Hobbsee: What's in the tarball? [03:07] Hobbsee, If I make a few modifications to disable compiling the python code in the Makefile.in provided by upstream, should I just make the mods or is the change (ie. commenting out a few lines) big enough to warrant the use of some sort of patch system? [03:08] bddebian: sorry? supertux*.orig.tar.gz, both changed from bz2 [03:08] sistpoty: should i be doing a dpkg-buildpackage -b and testing my fixed version? i do not have a fielst machine but im reasonably happy it will likely work on edgy anyway === Admiral_Chicago [i=FreddyMa@adsl-69-209-71-139.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [03:08] somerville32: anything changing the upstream tarball is.

[03:14] Hobbsee: I was trying to find it out [03:14] theCore: debdiff will help [03:15] sistpoty: hrrm my edgy pbuilder does not know howto create a fiesty enviorment [03:15] enyc, you need to install debootstrap from Feisty. [03:15] theCore: leave the maintainer field and all that as it is [03:15] Hobbsee: ok === Hobbsee wonders why the debian/docs changes [03:17] hi [03:18] theCore: why the - dh_installchangelogs ChangeLog? [03:18] Heya chillywilly [03:18] oh, is it not there anymore [03:18] Hobbsee: uh? [03:18] theCore: you took dh_installchangelogs ChangeLog out of debian/rules - any reason why? [03:19] Hobbsee: there isn't a ChangeLog anymore [03:19] gotcha [03:19] my debdiff appears not to show that :P === ryanakca [n=ryan@unaffiliated/ryanakca] has joined #ubuntu-motu [03:19] somerville32: Nevermind, thanks, apparently the mighty geser already fixed it :) [03:20] Fujitsu: coo thatnks... that seem to be working [03:21] engla, np [03:21] tsmithe, ping [03:25] bddebian: foudn the trick [03:25] bddebian: untar both tarballs, then do the folders [03:27] Ah, yes thx [03:28] Damn it's hard to tell what's already been requested to be synced, etc.. :-( === sistpoty is now off to bed [03:29] gn8 everyone === freeflying [i=flyingfr@gobstopper.dreamhost.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu === jaldhar_ [n=jaldhar@c-68-38-202-139.hsd1.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [03:30] bddebian: yep === fbond [n=fab@pool-72-92-138-194.burl.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [03:31] Hobbsee: when should I put versioned dependencies? [03:33] Hobbsee: and it's correct to just copy the description from Supertux's homepage? [03:33] theCore, why are you repackaging it? [03:33] theCore: you need to for debhelper. if it doesnt build/work with the lower dependancies. there's nothing technically *wrong* with them, unless you try to backport it [03:34] Fujitsu: major upstream version change, whcih means a lot of the info is out of date/wrong now [03:34] Fujitsu: like description, build system, etc [03:34] Ah, that'd do it. [03:34] Fujitsu: upstream changed to jam, instead of make [03:34] Ew. [03:34] so it'll be painful to merge, i expect, but we'll cope [03:34] hehe. i've not seen jam in action [03:35] Why not wait for Debian? [03:35] Fujitsu: selfish reasons [03:35] Hahah. [03:35] like, "we've got devs who want to play this" [03:36] Fujitsu: :P :D [03:36] Frozen-Bubble I can understand, but I've not played SuperTux. [03:36] Are patch and unpatch rules called automatically or do I need to add calls in build and clean? === Hobbsee doesnt have frozen bubble installed, actually [03:36] somerville32: you need to add it, unless it's using cdbs [03:36] FreeLords!! Of course I need my libparagui first :-( [03:36] assuming your using patch, of course [03:36] bddebian: hrm? [03:36] bddebian: what's freelords? [03:37] !info freelords feist [03:37] !info freelords feisty [03:37] Package freelords does not exist in edgy [03:37] Package freelords does not exist in feisty [03:37] bah [03:37] Not there yet :) it's a WarLords clone [03:37] !info iriverter feisty [03:37] Package iriverter does not exist in feisty [03:37] :( [03:37] bddebian: ahh, whatever that is [03:37] i didnt think it would be [03:40] Hobbsee: Think cheesy WarCraft ;-) [03:40] fair enough [03:42] gnome-sudoku should be removed, shouldn't it? [03:43] yes, ksudoku is much better. [03:43] in fact, perhaps we should just remove all of gnome, as kde is much better. [03:43] :P [03:43] @lart Hobbsee === Hobbsee ducks [03:46] hehe [03:48] Hobbsee: would it be correct to drop some of the old version dependencies? [03:48] Gah [03:48] This driving me crazy :/ [03:48] Hobbsee: like libsdl1.2-dev (>= 1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007-5.2) [03:49] Hobbsee: I am sure this one isn't correct anymore [03:50] theCore: yeah [03:50] just keep the deps there [03:50] theCore: it's especially troublesome if they decide to backport [03:51] Hobbsee: should I explain why I dropped it in the changelog? [03:51] What does this mean?: === theCore is lazy [03:51] /bin/sh: Syntax error: end of file unexpected [03:51] make: *** [unpatch] Error 2 [03:52] somerville32: a shell script failed ... [03:52] theCore: um...probably dont need to. say which build deps you added, adn dropped [03:52] but i dont think you need to talk about the versions [03:52] Hobbsee: ok === freeflying [i=flyingfr@gobstopper.dreamhost.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu === lifeless_ [n=robertc@ppp245-86.static.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [04:08] imbrandon: Please e-mail me my new password.

[05:10] I had a Pentium 233 for years [05:10] It built :D [05:12] Yagisan: :-( === Fujitsu [n=Fujitsu@ubuntu/member/fujitsu] has joined #ubuntu-motu [05:12] bddebian, that about sums it up [05:12] Hobbsee, It isn't calculating the python dependencies [05:13] somerville32: argh. find someone who knows python and ask them :P === Hobbsee pokes Fujitsu into doing some merging [05:13] Hobbsee: Is it possible that since I'm not compiling that I need to set the dependency on Python manually? === Fujitsu isn't in the mood for merging... My mother has forced me to ask this girl who she apparently thinks likes me over for dinner. [05:14] heh [05:14] Are there any merges left? :) [05:15] somerville32: i've got no idea [05:15] Fujitsu: what's so wrong with that? [05:15] Hobbsee: If I upload, will thou advocate? [05:15] Hobbsee, she mandated that I ask her over. [05:16] somerville32: i'll probably look at it :P i'm not good with python stuff [05:16] theCore: supertux built [05:16] Hobbsee, This is my first package and it has caused me so much grief :( [05:16] \o. [05:16] :( [05:16] \o/ [05:16] theCore, who cut off your left arm? Was it Hobbsee? [05:17] Fujitsu: hehe [05:17] haha [05:17] wasnt me... [05:17] Guilty! [05:17] !revu | somerville32 [05:17] somerville32: REVU is a web-based tool to give people who have worked on Ubuntu packages a chance to "put their packages out there" for other people to look at and comment on in a structured manner. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU [05:17] Hmm.. [05:17] Whats the link for revu? [05:18] revu.tauware.de [05:18] dput revu *.changes [05:18] I have revu set as my default [05:18] somerville32: don't to include the full source [05:19] theCore: :S [05:19] debuild -S -sa [05:19] I've uploaded this package 13 times :P [05:19] -sa *will* include the full source [05:19] I got it down pat :D [05:19] :) [05:19] Stop putting crap on REVU, there's already too much!! :-) === Hobbsee has never bothered making revu default [05:19] haha [05:19] bddebian: i'm about to archive an upload. and you can review somerville32's package === Fujitsu decides to do some REVUing. [05:20] Hobbsee: so, supertux is okay? [05:20] theCore: yep === Hobbsee archives [05:20] Uploading via ftp supertux_0.3.0-0ubuntu1.dsc: done. [05:20] Uploading via ftp supertux_0.3.0.orig.tar.gz: [05:20] theCore: ^ === theCore dances [05:21] my first package in the archives [05:22] theCore, you need to wait for it to pass NEW, though :P [05:22] http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=3855 === Fujitsu looks. [05:22] :D === bddebian has no packages in the archive [05:24] Hobbsee, Are you going to look? :) [05:24] somerville32: i'll let bddebian first [05:24] the machine that i tend to look on is uploading [05:24] Oh sure, like I'm such a "great" reviewer :-( [05:25] supertux is already there in feisty [05:26] TheMuso, this is a new one. === caravena [n=caravena@236-65-112.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #ubuntu-motu [05:26] oh ok [05:26] Why would that have to go through new then? === TheMuso hasn't really been following [05:27] Fujitsu: sorry, what has to wait for NEW? === rob [i=RobertSt@freenode/staff/rob] has joined #ubuntu-motu [05:27] my first package in the archives [05:27] theCore, you need to wait for it to pass NEW, though :P [05:27] Hobbsee, yes, I failed to notice it was just an updated version. [05:27] So, my NEW comment was invalid. [05:28] Fujitsu: yeah, it's just an updated version. [05:28] So, who is currently reviewing my package? [05:29] I'm building bouml atm so I will when it's done === rmjb_ [n=richard@cuscon19944.tstt.net.tt] has joined #ubuntu-motu [05:29] somerville32, I am... Isn't there a significantly cleaner way of doing patches than the way you've done it? [05:29] What do you mean? [05:29] It is very clean [05:29] Fujitsu: than with patch? [05:29] Cleaner than all manually like that. [05:30] It is recommended by the packaging guide [05:30] And the one patch is super small [05:30] The packaging guide is wildly mislead, then. === Hobbsee tends to do them like that [05:31] well, just dumping one section in clean rule, instead of unpatch [05:33] Fujitsu: Don't let that prevent you from advocating :P === lupine_85 [n=lupine@nick.lupine.me.uk] has joined #ubuntu-motu [05:37] Fujitsu: how patches should be done? [05:37] with dpatch? [05:38] Yes, there's a much cleaner way to do it with dpatch, I'm sure. [05:39] I think you should just need to include /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make, and that will handle the patch/unpatch targets. [05:39] (you also need a debian/patches/00list) [05:39] The current patch system is sufficient [05:40] Infact, I wouldn't even see a problem just having the changes in the package diff since they are so small [05:40] The current patch system is messy and took more work, though. [05:40] Fujitsu: hmm... I heard dpatch wasn't recommended for Ubuntu to keep the patch lists cleaner for Debian [05:40] Fujitsu: Not really... just copy and paste :P [05:40] Fujitsu: it's a standard way of doing things, it's not frowned upon [05:40] Fujitsu: of course, for patching, cdbs rocks more [05:41] Hobbsee, of course. === somerville32 fidgets. [05:41] 4 pings in a row, I must be wrong. [05:41] (dpatch often doesnt let you merge with no conflicts) [05:41] OK, the mess may stay :P [05:41] heh [05:41] Huzzah [05:41] However, the dh_make `Add X here' comments want to be removed. [05:41] Where? :P [05:42] In debian/rules, there are a million of them. [05:42] inline comments are important :P [05:42] Of course. [05:43] Ok, I removed the two that existeD :P [05:43] somerville32: yes, people are picky :P [05:43] Sorry, 3 [05:43] :] [05:43] Do you think I can get this package uploaded tonight? === Hobbsee contemplates [05:44] I'm impressed, pyNeighborhood upstream actually put the required license headers in. === Hobbsee stomps on imbrandon's fingers === Hobbsee will just upload from Riddell === Hobbsee will just upload from Riddell's machine [05:44] g'night guys [05:44] ok, I am off for tonight [05:44] g'day to Hobbsee [05:44] hey rmjb_ [05:44] and Fujitsu [05:45] if i can remember what the password is... [05:45] see ya everyone [05:45] Bye rmjb_. [05:45] Bye theCore. === somerville32 sighs. [05:45] This is so frustrating. [05:45] Remind me never to package a python package ever again :P === fowlduck [n=nate@68-190-90-101.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [05:46] Fujitsu, Do you want me to upload new or do you have more comments? [05:46] or not, as the password appears to have changed. === somerville32 explodes. === somerville32 us uploading changes. === somerville32 is uploading changes. === Hobbsee cries === Hobbsee wants to play supertux! [05:52] Hobbsee, Code us a bot to review packages on revu all day long :] === Hobbsee does have an irc bot, actually [05:53] No shix [05:54] http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=3856 [05:55] bddebian, Hobbsee, Fujitsu: I uploaded new version. http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=3856 === daya [n=daya@202.79.37.177] has joined #ubuntu-motu === somerville32 starts to twitch. === Hobbsee fights LP === bddebian picks his nose [06:00] Are you guys actually reviewing my package or just giving me lip service? :P === somerville32 never knew he was so impatient until he started packaging. [06:00] haha === somerville32 starts to get the shakes. [06:00] somerville32: What puts you ahead of the 1,000 other packages up there? :) [06:01] bddebian, Because I'm here bugging you? :P [06:01] And because I'm cool. [06:01] : ) === Fujitsu was having lunch. [06:02] E: pyneighborhood; No manual page for binary pyNeighborhood. [06:02] W: pyneighborhood; The command /usr/bin/gksudo /usr/bin/pyneighborhood listed in a menu file does not exist. [06:02] W: pyneighborhood; The menu file has subsection net, which is unknown. [06:02] W: pyneighborhood; File /usr/share/doc/pyneighborhood/COPYING is considered to be an extra license file. [06:02] W: pyneighborhood; File /usr/lib/pyenighborhood/config.py contained in /usr/lib of Architecture: all package. [06:02] Where did you get that? [06:03] Running linda/lintian on the resulting deb [06:04] Whats with the last warning? [06:05] somerville32, /usr/lib is architecture specific. [06:05] /usr/share should be used otherwise. [06:05] Aye [06:06] ... === somerville32 goes to bed. [06:06] Ok, so I'll have to patch the Makefile [06:07] Whats with the second to last warning? [06:07] I have to extract the package, give me a sec [06:07] somerville32, COPYING should be a subset of what is in debian/copyright, so isn't necessary. [06:07] bah, i knew i shouldnt have gone and gotten the bill [06:07] So no need to install it? [06:08] somerville32, correct. [06:08] s/bill/mail [06:08] Third to last warning? [06:08] somerville32: sorry? [06:08] somerville32, self explanatory, no? [06:08] Yes. [06:08] But... net doesn't exist? [06:08] debian/menu: section="Apps/net"\ [06:09] Oh! [06:09] capitalize n [06:10] What about the first warning? [06:10] Just don't provide full path? [06:10] Dunno on that one :_( [06:11] BTW, you should probably make your python depends >= 2.4 [06:11] build-deps that is. You shouldn't need a python depends [06:11] {python:Depends} should do that for you [06:11] But it doesn't [06:11] Then something else is broken [06:12] And that would be? [06:14] Maybe you need to build-dep python-all-dev instead of python? [06:14] Why are you using python-support instead of python-central btw? === somerville32 shrugs. [06:15] Ok [06:15] changed to pycentral [06:16] Shouldn't matter [06:16] You call dh_pysupport but not dh_python? [06:16] You don't call dh_python anymore [06:16] Since when? [06:16] http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ap-packaging_tools.html#s-pysupport [06:17] There is new python policy [06:17] I read it there [06:17] The man page says it [06:17] and when you build it, it tells you [06:17] Hmm, news to me so I'll shut up and go to bed now :-) === somerville32 could be wrong. [06:18] This is my first package remember :P [06:18] I thought dh_python was still valid... [06:18] As could I. I'm wrong alot it seems :-) [06:18] (and correct) === somerville32 shrugs [06:19] I'm going to bed too [06:19] Maybe I should try an easier package first [06:19] You're close man [06:20] It is frustrating because it seems like no one can give me the answer [06:20] Yeah, you're very nearly done. [06:20] Yea! :) [06:20] Maybe I need to ditch py_support [06:20] and just use dh_python [06:21] somerville32: Some of us aren't packaging "masters" either :-( [06:21] hehe [06:22] Hobbsee, You're the Kubuntu Community Manager? [06:22] somerville32: Afaik the python policy requires that you use either python-support or python-central [06:22] Why aren't they working? [06:23] It doesn't replace the {python:Depends} [06:23] I think because you aren't build-depping python-dev? [06:24] Hmm... I'll try it tomorrow [06:24] somerville32: yes, why? [06:24] Hobbsee, Do you work with Jono? [06:24] Another note: if there is a debian/pycompat file, you must launch dh_python after dh_pysupport, but the recommended way is to remove that file. [06:24] bddebian, isn't python-dev used for building binaries against python? [06:25] somerville32: some, yes [06:25] Fujitsu: I haven't looked that closely at what he is actually building :-) === somerville32 wishes Xubuntu had some sort of community manager. [06:25] somerville32: Have you seen this page? http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy [06:25] Yup. [06:25] Another note: if there is a debian/pycompat file, you must launch dh_python after dh_pysupport, but the recommended way is to remove that file.

[03:58] I want to run autogen.sh first [03:58] it creates a configure [03:59] then probably makebuilddir/foo:: is the right target [03:59] dunno [03:59] ok [03:59] what is /foo ? [03:59] the name of the binary package ? [04:00] yes [04:00] it's the target to run ./autogen.sh or to set NOCONFIGURE=1 ? [04:00] the former [04:00] ok [04:00] the former, is the 1st one ? so autogen.sh ? [04:01] yes [04:01] alternatively, you can run autogen.sh before and put the changes it makes as a patch into debian/patches [04:03] ahh , yes, someone already told me that [04:03] ./configure is supposed to generate the same on all systems [04:03] because it's a distribution [04:03] but I need to satisfy my dependencies [04:06] effing sweet..

[07:47] gandalfn: however if you tell me which package it was, I'll remove that [07:48] i know now , sorry :/ thanks [07:48] it's compiz [07:49] gandalfn: it's gone [07:49] thanks very much [07:49] np === sistpoty is now afk for a while [07:51] later folks [07:51] Later sistpoty === gandalfn [n=gandalfn@i02m-87-89-253-156.d4.club-internet.fr] has left #ubuntu-motu [] === mlpug [n=user@a85-156-252-200.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #ubuntu-motu [07:53] sistpoty has left [07:54] he was reviewing bug 76897 [07:54] Malone bug 76897 in firestarter "[Merge Request] Merge firestarter 1.0.3-1.3 from Debian" [Undecided,Unconfirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/76897 [07:54] will it be possible for anyone else to review and tell me whether i have done properly ? === _DvP_ [n=David@86.73.129.135] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Q-FUNK [n=q-funk@dsl-hkigw8-feb6fb00-217.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:07] hrrm [08:07] thats odd [08:08] edgy version of qpsmtpd creates /var/run/qpsmtpd user qpsmtpd group adm [08:08] wonder why that is === chrisj [n=tortoise@81-86-52-52.dsl.pipex.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Adri2000_ [n=Adri2000@unaffiliated/adri2000] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:16] cypher1: not all former merger mentioned the remaining changes in their changelog entry === cypherbios [n=cypher@ubuntu/member/cypherbios] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:18] geser, but those were either rebuilds or another merge, do i have to mention those ? [08:18] not the merges but the other changes [08:19] geser, i did mention the changes done through 1.0.3-1.2ubuntu2, am i missing any other [08:20] yes the changes in 1.0.3-1.2ubuntu1 which aren't fortunately mentioned [08:21] e.g the addtional patches (11_desktop_file 12_firestarter_transparent_icon 13_browser_nonroot) [08:21] or * gksu -> gksudo from 1.0.1-1ubuntu1 [08:22] simply go through the debdiff and identify the changelog entries for each remaining change in the debdiff and add it to your changelog entry [08:22] geser, but that is not mentioned in the 1.0.3-1.2ubuntu1 merge either [08:23] yes, it was forgotten by the merger [08:23] geser, ok i will make the changes.. [08:23] geser, hold on [08:23] this makes it easier for the next merge [08:28] that way the next merges has only to look at your changelog entry instead of the whole changelog === _czessi [n=Czessi@dslb-088-073-004-145.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === cypherbios [n=cypher@ubuntu/member/cypherbios] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:34] geser, thanks.. i have modified changelog.. can you please look at it ? === lbm [n=lbm@82.192.173.92] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:39] cypher1: much better now === PriceChild [n=PriceChi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:39] cypher1: "Rebuild without libhowl0" was a no change rebuild -> doesn't need to be mentioned in your changelog [08:40] and the gksu -> gksudo change was undone later, so doesn't need to be added to the changelog [08:40] geser, i thought they removed some Makefile or maybe code to rebuild without libhowl0 [08:41] often rebuilds don't have any changes, the new libs are picked up automatically [08:41] geser, ok will do the changes now... [08:42] and you only need to mention those changes that are still there [08:42] it happens that some of the ubuntu changes are picked up by debian === theCore [n=alex@ubuntu/member/theCore] has joined #ubuntu-motu [08:49] geser, changed.. can you please look at it now ? [08:49] geser, i do not see any ubuntu changes being picked by debian from the descriptions in changelog.. [08:51] this was more generic and may not apply in this case [08:52] geser, ok :) [08:53] looks ok now [08:53] geser, thanks [08:54] geser, what should be my next step now ? [08:54] I will clean up that gksu->gksudo->gksu patching and upload it [08:55] geser, cleanup in the code ? [08:57] a little bit: 01_use_gksu.dpatch is changed to use gksudo instead of gksu and 11_desktop_file.dpatch changes it back again from gksudo to gksu [08:58] outof the blue, there is kdesu and gksudo... the naming is not very consistent.. [08:59] kdesu/gtksu or kdesudo/gtksudo would seems more consistent. out of the blue stuff === _MMA_ [n=mma@cpe-071-070-203-016.nc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu === bluefoxicy [n=bluefox@c-68-33-112-13.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === PriceChild [n=PriceChi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu-motu === rexbron [n=rexbron@CPE001310b2d1d1-CM0012256e816a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Arrogance [n=aks@ottawa-hs-64-26-148-159.d-ip.magma.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu === bluefoxicy [n=bluefox@c-68-33-112-13.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === zul [n=bob@ubuntu/member/zul] has joined #ubuntu-motu === bluefoxicy [n=bluefox@c-68-33-112-13.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [09:30] cypher1: firestarter uploaded [09:31] geser, thanks!! :) [09:35] geser, how can i see it ?

[10:32] siretart - pyspf is an update to an existing package Ubuntu takes straight from Debian. I'm not the Debian maintainer, but the package is very old and the current pyspf has added several files, so the package got more complex. === zul [n=bob@ubuntu/member/zul] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:34] tsmithe: after reading http://revu.tauware.de/revu1-incoming/asoundconf-gtk-0612101210/asoundconf-gtk-1.5/README-debian.rules, I wonder why you use CDBS at all [10:34] ok... explain [10:35] i chose cdbs as it was easy for my first ever package, and it wasn't too hard to have those extra lines to override the default behaviour [10:36] ok, i've figured out most of it, but i'm getting a wierd error. i'm using this control file: http://pastebin.ca/289113 but when i do debuild -us -uc i get this error http://pastebin.ca/289119 [10:36] any suggestions? [10:36] ScottK: did you talk to gustavo? [10:37] tsmithe: for that reason, I wouldn't recomment using cdbs for the first package [10:37] siretart, oh - why? it's done now :( [10:37] sinisterguy, line 5 spills over to line 6 it looks like [10:37] No. My theory was to get the update correct here and then point him at Ubuntu. [10:38] tsmithe: because I see the trouble you have now [10:38] it's no trouble is it? [10:38] i mean, it all works fine [10:38] tsmithe: thanks [10:38] well, okay [10:38] I'm not a friend of cdbs nor of pysupport [10:38] cdbs is evil! I love it :) [10:38] i didn't use cdbs for my next two packages, though [10:39] but i don't want those to be uploaded any time soon (licence issues) [10:39] no problem. I still have a package which still uses cdbs (londonlaw) [10:39] (well, i want it to be soon, but not in the current state) === mr_pouit [n=silk@LAubervilliers-151-12-73-187.w193-252.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:44] tsmithe: advocated === ivoks [n=ivoks@32-130.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:45] thanks siretart :) [10:45] ScottK: hm.

[12:05] jdong: sure sure.... ;) [12:05] actually, I did use that one last year for a while [12:06] it was great until I merged a buggy mm patchset.... [12:06] :D [12:06] I definitely hope it goes somewhere nice in the future [12:06] we need a fully atomic filesystem... heck Vista has one now :( [12:06] have gentoo people beta test.... they like that kind of stuff === jdong was an ex-gentoo users [12:07] user* [12:07] me too [12:07] switched in Warty Preview days [12:07] i switched in hoary beta [12:07] was going to switch to debian but decided to try that goofy new distro with a 6mo release cycle :D [12:07] I'm a relative newbie to ubuntu (dapper) [12:08] i have not done a clean install since hoary beta [12:08] fear! [12:08] ;P [12:08] Been using debian since, forever... [12:08] debian is nice.... [12:09] but i must say, ubuntu community has changed big time since dapper.... forums are chock full of ex-windows users like nowhere else [12:10] I switched back to Debian for a month, ending a couple of weeks ago. My first non-Ubuntu since Hoary. [12:10] Fujitsu: did you fresh install or just dist-upgraded (and then downgraded back?) [12:11] jdong: what script is used to quickly convert debian debs to ubuntu? [12:11] jdong: its not your prevu is it? [12:11] Firstly, going to Sid isn't an upgrade in many cases. Secondly, downgrading is very very risky and likely to get you killed. [12:11] So no, I installed clean. [12:11] agent, prevu should do it fine. [12:12] ok [12:12] (although Debian ones may install OK anyway) [12:12] yeah i know [12:12] :) [12:13] agent: the ex-windows users is partly why I'm hesitant about the ubuntu community (especially the forums) [12:13] The developers on IRC seem fairly clueful though, thankfully :-)
