| LaserJock | uggg, 184 MOTU Science bugs :( | 12:20 |
| Adri2000 | do *all* python apps need a rebuild? | 12:20 |
| LaserJock | probably not | 12:20 |
| Adri2000 | !info giplet | 12:20 |
| ubotu | giplet: GNOME IP display applet. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.2-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 8 kB, installed size 112 kB | 12:20 |
| Adri2000 | what do you think of this one? | 12:21 |
| LaserJock | Adri2000: what about it? | 12:21 |
| Adri2000 | does it need a rebuild? how can I know? | 12:22 |
| LaserJock | I'm guessing Matthais already rebuilt the ones that needed to | 12:22 |
| LaserJock | *Matthias | 12:23 |
| Adri2000 | ok | 12:23 |
| LaserJock | generally if there is a transition like that he just does it en-mass | 12:23 |
| geser | Adri2000: only those python apps need a rebuild which depend on python < 2.5 | 12:23 |
| LaserJock | we shouldn't have to many of those I wouldn't think | 12:24 |

| dakira | Hi.. I just tried to build Vidalia with pbuilder and get some errors I can't make any sense of. Specifically when it tries to install vidalia the make install throws some "permission denied" errors inside the pbuilder environment.. | 02:21 |
| dakira | maybe someone knows this problem.. here's the relevant part of the output: http://pastebin.ca/314767 | 02:21 |
| LaserJock | dakira: it's becuase it's trying to install to /usr/bin/ | 02:23 |
| LaserJock | it needs to install to $(CURDIR)/<packagename/usr/bin | 02:24 |
| dakira | LaserJock: okay.. so I need to change the "rules"-file, right? | 02:24 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 02:24 |
| dakira | LaserJock: wow.. thanks A LOT! This happened to me before with something else and I never figured it out.. so now I get it.. | 02:26 |
| dakira | I just didn't get the concept of pbuilder completely right | 02:26 |
| LaserJock | well, it's the way packaging works | 02:27 |
| LaserJock | the .deb is built from inside the debian/ directory | 02:27 |
| LaserJock | so you need to install files in there | 02:27 |
| LaserJock | and then it gets compressed up into a .deb with the right paths | 02:28 |
| LaserJock | that way you aren't *actually* installing to /usr/bin/ everytime you build a package | 02:28 |
| LaserJock | that would make things pretty messy | 02:28 |
| dakira | yeah.. I see that now.. I can't believe how blind I was towards this :-) | 02:28 |
| LaserJock | np, took me a while too ;-) | 02:28 |
| dakira | well.. it never gets messy since I work inside a pbuilder environment.. but still.. I just got it wrong | 02:29 |
| somerville32 | LaserJock: When I first tried, I tried to install directly to /usr/bin/ too but my thinking (or understanding) was that pbuidler created a chroot and so what ever I did was happening actually in some pesudo file system | 02:32 |
| somerville32 | *pseudo | 02:32 |
| dakira | LaserJock: one more question.. do I have to set the --prefix of the configure part in "rules" to $(CURDIR)/<packagename>/usr, too? | 02:33 |
| LaserJock | I guess that's one of the prices we pay for telling everybody to use pbuilder first off | 02:33 |
| LaserJock | dakira: no, because that' | 02:33 |
| LaserJock | that's telling the package where things will be at runtime (i.e. when the .deb is unpacked on the users machine) | 02:34 |
| dakira | LaserJock: okay.. than the problem is that the vidalia dev hardcoded the install paths and doesn't use --prefix directive | 02:34 |
| LaserJock | dakira: wahoo, sounds like patch time :-) | 02:34 |
| dakira | *g* | 02:34 |
| LaserJock | I've gotta run right now | 02:35 |
| LaserJock | I might be on later | 02:35 |
| dakira | thanks for the help and clearing things up! | 02:35 |
| LaserJock | but there is some patching material in the packaging guide | 02:35 |
| LaserJock | and on wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School | 02:35 |
| somerville32 | dakira: dpatch is awesome :) | 02:35 |
| Toadstool | yay! openoffice preventing me from dist-upgrading :) | 02:36 |
| somerville32 | Toadstool: Just remove the packages :) | 02:36 |
| Toadstool | I can wait | 02:36 |
| somerville32 | I wouldn't dist-upgrade right now anyhow | 02:37 |
| somerville32 | Now with the python fallout :) | 02:37 |
| somerville32 | *Not | 02:37 |
| somerville32 | Gah, I can't type today :( | 02:37 |
| Toadstool | heh | 02:37 |
| dakira | somerville32: i'll have a look at dpatch as soon as a figure out what the dev has done wrongly ;) | 02:38 |
| persia | What's the policy on applying patches to fix Debian bugs that haven't been reported in Ubuntu? Should an Ubuntu bug be created that links to the Debian bug with the patch? The bug is certainly present in Ubuntu. | 02:39 |
| somerville32 | Sounds good to me | 02:44 |
| === persia proceeds to create such a bug. | ||
| Toadstool | persia: link it to the Debian bug too | 02:47 |
| persia | Toadstool: Of course. The patch is actually from the Debian bug. | 02:47 |
| Toadstool | persia: if you could prepare a debdiff fixing as many bugs as possible and poke a MOTU to sponsor your fixes, it would be even better ;) | 02:50 |
| === Toadstool hides | ||
| persia | Toadstool: That's basically what I do all day, every day (until I have to work again), but I usually only upload one debdiff per bug. I should really fix my gpg configuration and attend the next meeting to become a member :) | 02:51 |
| Toadstool | great! and then try to become a MOTU, we need more manpower | 02:52 |
| persia | Toadstool: The main issue is that I will fail to check my email for months at a time when working (cf. my LP page). Perhaps I'll become a MOTU at some point, but this usually requires two months of effort (and I rarely have that long a break). | 02:54 |
| === somerville32 wants to become a MOTU someday soon. | ||
| Toadstool | persia: oh my bad, I know you... I have seen your real name so many times in changelogs but didn't link it to your nick and thought you were some kind of newcomer :) | 02:56 |
| === Toadstool is useless | ||
| persia | Toadstool: No worries :) | 02:57 |
| somerville32 | hehe | 02:57 |
| somerville32 | Should we only package stables releases or are betas good too? | 02:57 |
| persia | somerville32: betas are only good if they fix known bugs that cause problems. | 02:57 |
| somerville32 | This is for a new package | 02:58 |
| persia | somerville32: Still, is the beta less buggy? | 02:58 |
| Toadstool | somerville32: what I usually do is package stable releases and extract patches from development branches | 02:58 |
| somerville32 | k | 02:58 |
| Toadstool | but of course, if you feel like the beta would be better (let's say you tested thoroughly, no regressions, bug fixes, whatever) then you can package the beta | 03:00 |
| somerville32 | kk | 03:02 |

| teer2 | Hi, my email was forwarded to the distribution list yesterday, about packaging commercial game demos. | 04:58 |
| manchicken | Non-free game demos? | 04:59 |
| teer2 | I did not get back a response that addressed my questions. Anyone able to hellp? I did not get a to see the distribution list mail address. | 04:59 |
| teer2 | manchicken: Yes. | 04:59 |
| manchicken | Why? | 05:00 |
| teer2 | manchicken: Not sure what you mean by non-free actually. | 05:00 |
| manchicken | teer2: Restricts freedom. | 05:00 |
| persia | manchicken: A rebuild (after `make -f ./admin/Makefile.common`), didn't have any errors for me. Is something you want not getting installed? | 05:00 |
| teer2 | manchicken: They are freely distributable, but they are not free software. | 05:00 |
| manchicken | teer2: That's unfortunate. | 05:01 |
| persia | teer2: Those are just costless. Not free. | 05:01 |
| manchicken | IIRC, Ubuntu has a position that favors free software. | 05:01 |
| ajmitch | if they are freely redistributable, it may be possible to put them in multiverse | 05:02 |
| teer2 | These are guys trying to make a living making entertainment software for linux, and supporting the software full-time. Don't you think we should help them out? | 05:02 |
| manchicken | teer2: Package the newly GPL'ed SecondLife client. That'd be nice ^_^ | 05:02 |
| manchicken | teer2: They should try to do so without trying to limit the freedom of others. I do not think we should help others restrict the freedom of others for the sake of their own profit. But that's just me. I'm certainly no official voice. | 05:03 |
| persia | teer2: You'll get a better response from your mailing list post. People who are responsible for balancing marketing and politics are more likely to be there. The apps could go in multiverse, or perhaps commercial, depending. | 05:03 |
| teer2 | persia: So what I am seeking is instructions on how these developers can create and submit a package for official (universe/metaverse/commercial) ubuntu distribution. | 05:05 |
| LaserJock | teer2: where did you email? | 05:05 |
| manchicken | teer2: If these people wanted to make free software, and earn their living supporting it, I'd support that whole-heartedly. I just have this bias against fascism ^_^ | 05:05 |
| LaserJock | teer2: I gave you some instructions yesterday didn't I? | 05:07 |
| persia | teer2: Most Ubuntu list archives are publically accessible from https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/. If you mailed one of these lists, you can probably find responses there (although you would likely have been cc'd). | 05:07 |
| teer2 | manchicken: Second life will be a good example to others on how to make games open source commercially, WHEN they finally make it open source (which it isn't now). | 05:07 |
| manchicken | teer2: It's a beautiful thing that SecondLife is GPL'ed now... but until a program's licensing respects freedom, it should be avoided. | 05:08 |
| manchicken | teer2: Before it was GPL'ed, I said SecondLife should be avoided. | 05:08 |
| manchicken | teer2: Now that it is GPL'ed, it should be embraced and used in a manner that suits each user's purpose ^_^ | 05:09 |
| teer2 | LaserJock: Yes, thanks for your help, I emailed the games team, and Stefan Potyra emailed me back and said he wasforwarding it to the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list. However, I did not hear a response in the last day. | 05:09 |
| teer2 | manchicken: Commercial software can also produce open-source engines to be shared, also, their full-time support engages them in improving Linux UIs and smoothing out rough edges in distributions. We have more to gain by being inclusive than exclusive. | 05:10 |
| manchicken | teer2: No, we don't. If we embrace companies that seek to restrict our freedom we lose our freedom, and encourage fascism. | 05:11 |
| manchicken | teer2: We should demand that software licensing respects our freedom. Anything short of freedom is unacceptable. | 05:12 |
| teer2 | LaserJock: Actually mikecorn responded from the mailing list regarding packaging for a specific ubuntu versions, but not regarding packaging in general. | 05:12 |
| manchicken | teer2: I'm more than willing to include companies who are willing to respect freedom. | 05:13 |
| teer2 | LaserJock: What I'm seeking is instructions on how these devs can do their packages and submit them - easy step-by-step instructions | 05:14 |
| teer2 | manchicken: Games take months of time to make, usually by one developer working full time. Unless we can establish a way for them to get compensated financially, then I think we should support the existing compensation model, since no others exist. It's not like other software where people buy support packages. | 05:15 |
| manchicken | teer2: If they can't figure out how to make money, it's hardly the users' fault. Why should people lose freedom because others can't figure out how to make money? | 05:16 |
| manchicken | teer2: I would even pay for a game if it respected my freedom. | 05:17 |
| joejaxx | bddebian: are you around? | 05:17 |
| teer2 | manchicken: Because users demand the entertainment, and they will use consoles or windows which restrict their freedom entirely if they cannot find games on Linux. Either way, they should have the choice between free and non-free software. | 05:17 |
| === tuxmaniac [n=aanjhan@unaffiliated/tuxmaniac] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| manchicken | teer2: non-free is non-free. It doesn't matter what system it is on. People should not package, distribute, or otherwise perpetuate this usury of freedom. It is never okay to restrict another human being's freedom for the sake of profit. Ever. | 05:19 |
| somerville32 | Interesting conversation going on here | 05:19 |
| somerville32 | However, I think it would be better suited somewhere else. | 05:19 |
| teer2 | manchicken: You propose to restrict their freedom by not allowing them to choose non-free software | 05:19 |
| bddebian | joejaxx: Sure | 05:20 |
| teer2 | somerville32: I'm just here looking for distribution package instructions. I realize the room for arguements is down the hall. Sorry! | 05:20 |
| manchicken | teer2: Nope. I say that the software should always be free. Shame on those developers for releasing non-free software. They should be able to choose whatever software they want without having to worry about someone trying to steal their freedom. | 05:21 |
| somerville32 | :) | 05:21 |
| joejaxx | bddebian: i know this might sound stupid but please forgive my ignorance | 05:21 |
| teer2 | manchicken: I will let you have the last word on the subject. | 05:21 |
| joejaxx | bddebian: where can i download gnu/hurd the os that is | 05:21 |
| manchicken | teer2: That's fine. I just hope you don't expect me to keep my mouth shut when you try to subversively distribute software that restricts freedom. | 05:22 |
| manchicken | ^_^ | 05:22 |
| manchicken | somerville32: I've never been very good at staying on topic. | 05:22 |
| manchicken | And I still can't build this bloody adept package. | 05:22 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, Whats the command syntax for creating a new patch with dpatch again? | 05:22 |
| manchicken | persia: Yo, could you pastebin your `dpkg -l | sort` for me? | 05:23 |
| manchicken | somerville32: Are you talking about cdbs-edit-patch? | 05:23 |
| persia | manchicken: Which pastebin is your favorite? | 05:23 |
| somerville32 | no | 05:23 |
| somerville32 | dpatch | 05:23 |
| manchicken | Righto. | 05:23 |

| Hobbsee | somerville32: i dont remember, i never use dpatch | 05:24 |
| somerville32 | What do you use? | 05:24 |
| ajmitch | Hobbsee doesn't need to use tools | 05:24 |
| joejaxx | bddebian: or is there not a gnu/hurd compilation yet | 05:24 |
| Hobbsee | somerville32: their converstaion only needs to stop when someoen else asks a question. it probably is a vaguely relevant conversation. | 05:25 |

| Hobbsee | ajmitch: you're right, actually :P | 05:25 |
| somerville32 | Hobbsee, I just asked a question :P | 05:25 |
| Hobbsee | hah | 05:25 |
| bddebian | joejaxx: You can get the Debian K14 install CDs here: http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-cd | 05:25 |
| bddebian | Well links from there anyway | 05:25 |
| manchicken | I think HURD can install next to your linux kernel. | 05:25 |
| joejaxx | bddebian: oh alright thank you :) | 05:25 |
| manchicken | That'd be neat. | 05:25 |
| === Hobbsee usually patches manually | ||
| manchicken | "Which kernel do I feel like using today?" | 05:25 |
| Hobbsee | and LONG LIVE CDBS!!! | 05:25 |
| ajmitch | manchicken: nice, but there's a completely different ABI, so apps can't be shared :) | 05:26 |
| manchicken | ajmitch: I suspect you'd merely have to recompile things. | 05:26 |
| ajmitch | sure, 'merely' recompiling the entire distro isn't much of a hassle, is it? | 05:26 |
| bddebian | heh | 05:27 |
| ajmitch | you just have things on separate partitions | 05:27 |
| manchicken | ajmitch: Details, details. | 05:27 |
| ajmitch | "Oooh, I feel like dual-booting today - let's start a full recompile!" | 05:27 |
| Hobbsee | ajmitch: like the python transition and worse :P | 05:27 |
| ajmitch | Hobbsee: far, *far* worse | 05:27 |
| Hobbsee | haha | 05:27 |
| manchicken | ajmitch: Recompiling with apt-get is easy ^_^ | 05:27 |
| ajmitch | imagine recompiling firefox or OOo everytime you want to use it | 05:27 |
| bddebian | And glibc only takes about a day and a half to compile on GNU/Hurd ;-P | 05:28 |
| ajmitch | talk to bddebian about the fun of portability & GNU/Hurd | 05:28 |
| ajmitch | his sanity hasn't returned yet | 05:28 |
| bddebian | All I have to say is: MAXPATHLEN :-) | 05:28 |
| manchicken | ajmitch: If I had an extra disk to work on, I wouldn't mind trying some stuff out on it ^_^ | 05:28 |
| ajmitch | at least you have pthreads now! | 05:29 |
| persia | manchicken: dpkg -l is far too long and the process appears manual (I'm not sure how to paste a file). Could you paste your error? That's probably an easier way for me to help. | 05:29 |
| ajmitch | manchicken: yeah, you're sick | 05:29 |
| bddebian | heh | 05:29 |
| Hobbsee | manchicken: keep fixing adept :P | 05:29 |
| Hobbsee | manchicken: and the rest of kubuntu :P | 05:29 |
| manchicken | ajmitch: No, I got this 64-bit processor and it LOVES to compile _^^ | 05:29 |
| ajmitch | shame that it'd be wasted with GNU/Hurd | 05:30 |
| manchicken | Hobbsee: Did I tell you that I got the DVD player working as a DIRECT result of your mailing list responses to someone else's question? | 05:30 |
| ajmitch | bddebian: what's the current memory limit with gnumach? | 05:30 |

| persia | manchicken: Oh. I'm really not sure why it worked for me then. Looking briefly at debian/dirs, I suspect you need to replace "usr" with "usr/bin". | 05:33 |
| ScottK | Thanks. It'd be cool if you did, I have a couple of others and I think I'm ready to get this one behind me. | 05:33 |

| manchicken | I'm thinking you have something installed that I don't... | 05:36 |
| persia | manchicken: I probably do, but your Build-depends looks fine to me, and I'm guessing you are building with newest feisty, so I shouldn't have newer cdbs or debhelper. | 05:43 |

| manchicken | I got the same versions. | 05:46 |
| persia | ScottK: Try vim -b on the file. One of the characters should be \194. Delete this. Edit the file in a UTF-8 environment. Add the correct character. | 05:47 |
| bddebian | N: "can't find numbered character" usually means latin1 etc in the input, | 05:47 |

| palski | persia: ok, thanks | 09:10 |
| Simon80 | so, um, I just packaged logitech_applet, it's got no maintainer, but it's small and doesn't really need one | 09:11 |
| Simon80 | is that a bad enough reason to reject it? | 09:11 |
| persia | Simon80: If you packaged it, you get to be the maintainer:) | 09:11 |
| Simon80 | yay! | 09:12 |
| Simon80 | alright, someone revu it, easiest revu ever.. the only gripe you may have is no manpage | 09:12 |
| Simon80 | I suppose it's a legitimate gripe | 09:12 |
| somerville32 | Simon80: Has to have a manpage | 09:13 |
| somerville32 | Please make one and reupload :) | 09:13 |
| tsmithe | could a MOTU please take a look at my two packages for UbuntuStudio? http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=4049 | 09:13 |
| Simon80 | lol, somerville, cmon :( | 09:13 |
| Simon80 | bah | 09:13 |
| persia | Simon80: no manpage will cause a lintian error, which is grounds for further REVU. | 09:14 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe: Did you fix the errors that bddebian listed? | 09:14 |
| Simon80 | it's not an error | 09:15 |
| Simon80 | it's a warning | 09:15 |
| tsmithe | somerville32, they are unfixable | 09:15 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe, wrong. | 09:15 |
| tsmithe | err... | 09:15 |
| tsmithe | how so? | 09:15 |
| somerville32 | W: alsa-firmware: extra-license-file lib/firmware/emagic/license.txt | 09:16 |
| tsmithe | oh yeah | 09:16 |
| somerville32 | Remove license.txt from being installed | 09:16 |
| tsmithe | i thought you mean the errors | 09:16 |
| somerville32 | W: alsa-firmware: old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file | 09:16 |
| somerville32 | Update the copyright file | 09:16 |
| somerville32 | W: alsa-firmware: description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly | 09:16 |
| somerville32 | remove period from end of synopsis | 09:16 |
| tsmithe | ok | 09:16 |
| somerville32 | W: alsa-firmware: description-starts-with-leading-spaces | 09:16 |
| somerville32 | Should be able to figure that one out | 09:16 |
| somerville32 | As for the errors, run lintian with verbose enabled | 09:17 |
| tsmithe | ok | 09:17 |
| tsmithe | can i use dh_install to uninstall a file, or will it have to be done with a manual rm in the rules? | 09:18 |
| somerville32 | What is installing it? The makefile? | 09:18 |
| somerville32 | Does this package exist in Debian? | 09:18 |
| tsmithe | yes no | 09:19 |
| somerville32 | Elaborate, please :) | 09:19 |
| tsmithe | ok | 09:19 |
| tsmithe | the makefile is installing it | 09:19 |
| tsmithe | it does not exist in debian | 09:19 |
| tsmithe | (at least it didn't last time i checked) | 09:20 |
| tsmithe | well it seems to now | 09:20 |
| persia | tsmithe: The easiest way to mask the emagic license is probably to delete it with a patch prior to build. | 09:20 |
| tsmithe | but it's an old version | 09:20 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe: Then you need to download the package and update it | 09:21 |
| somerville32 | Not make your own | 09:21 |
| tsmithe | to be honest, i thought it didn't exist in debian | 09:21 |
| somerville32 | Thats ok | 09:21 |
| somerville32 | but you still versioned the package wrong then | 09:21 |
| === ademan [n=dan@h-67-101-42-105.snfccasy.dynamic.covad.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| tsmithe | somerville32, hmm? | 09:22 |
| somerville32 | alsa-firmware_1.0.14rc1-1ubuntu1 | 09:22 |
| somerville32 | If it is a new package that doesn't exist in debian, it would be: lsa-firmware_1.0.14rc1-0ubuntu1 | 09:23 |
| somerville32 | with the a on front of course | 09:23 |
| tsmithe | ok | 09:24 |
| === tsmithe changes it | ||
| somerville32 | Also | 09:24 |
| somerville32 | I would have seperate binary packages for the different blobs | 09:24 |
| tsmithe | hmm | 09:24 |
| tsmithe | that's might be a bit confusing | 09:25 |
| tsmithe | we have alsa-firmware-loaders | 09:25 |
| tsmithe | as 1 package for many loaders | 09:25 |
| somerville32 | Hmm.. sure | 09:26 |
| somerville32 | w/e works | 09:26 |
| tsmithe | i'm also updating that to fit with the new alsa-firmware package, upid 3892 | 09:26 |
| somerville32 | rm -f $(CURDIR)/debian/alsa-firmware/lib/firmware/*.bin | 09:27 |
| somerville32 | That is in build | 09:27 |
| somerville32 | What does that do? | 09:27 |
| somerville32 | Does that remove the binary you aren't allowed to distribute? | 09:27 |
| tsmithe | no | 09:27 |
| somerville32 | What does it do? | 09:27 |
| somerville32 | Or sorry, what is it for? | 09:27 |
| tsmithe | it's left over from when i had troubles with hdsploader | 09:27 |
| somerville32 | Please fix it then | 09:27 |
| tsmithe | but now it does nothing (as theres nothing there) | 09:27 |
| somerville32 | I also notice you use different e-mails all over the place | 09:29 |
| somerville32 | You also must use a @ubuntu.com e-mail for the maintainer field | 09:29 |
| somerville32 | Anyhows, I don't think your package will get approved since it already exists in Debian | 09:29 |

| === somerville32 waves. | ||
| somerville32 | That is... lol | 09:32 |
| tsmithe | huh? | 09:32 |
| somerville32 | unless someone else needs a review :) | 09:32 |
| Simon80 | it can wait | 09:32 |
| tsmithe | somerville32, you still around | 09:34 |
| tsmithe | ? | 09:34 |
| somerville32 | Yup | 09:34 |
| tsmithe | i was being stupid | 09:34 |
| tsmithe | when i searched for alsa-firmware in the debian packages, it came up with alsa-firmware-loaders | 09:35 |
| tsmithe | i didn't read -loaders | 09:35 |
| tsmithe | it's not in debian | 09:35 |
| somerville32 | ah, k :] | 09:35 |
| somerville32 | Simon80, Want me to review? | 09:35 |
| tsmithe | somerville32, one last thing | 09:36 |
| somerville32 | dh_fixperms seems to be very much broken :( | 09:36 |
| tsmithe | at upid 3892, i have updated ubuntu's alsa-tools package to support my new alsa-firmware... however bddebian complains about manpages. the current ubuntu package doesn't have manpages... | 09:37 |
| Simon80 | how do I incorporate docbook xml processing into my cdbs rules file? | 09:37 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe, It must have a manpage. | 09:37 |
| tsmithe | must? the existing package doesn't - otherwise it would be in mine | 09:38 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe, Write your own | 09:38 |
| tsmithe | hmm | 09:38 |
| tsmithe | that's a bummer | 09:38 |
| lifeless | somerville32: there is not MUST for man pages. | 09:39 |
| lifeless | somerville32: its preferred, not required. | 09:39 |
| Simon80 | indeed | 09:39 |
| lifeless | that said, writing a small one is easy, and a good idea | 09:39 |
| manchicken | Anybody know if k9copy is main or universe? | 09:39 |
| somerville32 | lifeless: Ther other MOTUs make me have one in all of mine, lol | 09:39 |
| lifeless | manchicken: apt-cache show k9copy | 09:39 |
| Simon80 | but how do I process it? | 09:39 |
| lifeless | somerville32: a reviewer can do that ;) | 09:39 |
| Simon80 | someone who's used a manpage.xml, just tell me | 09:39 |
| manchicken | Beautiful. Thanks. | 09:40 |
| lifeless | Simon80: if its a man page, surely patch the package source, as you'll want to feed it upstream | 09:40 |
| manchicken | I'm learning all sorts of things about dpkg. | 09:40 |
| Simon80 | err... lifeless, no | 09:40 |
| manchicken | Like, yesterday I learned `dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/perl` will tell you what package /usr/bin/perl was installed by. | 09:40 |
| manchicken | mmm... dpkg... | 09:40 |
| tsmithe | tee hee somerville32: my asoundconf-gtk got in ages ago :P | 09:41 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe, I know. | 09:41 |
| tsmithe | :) | 09:41 |
| tsmithe | poor poor cody | 09:41 |
| Simon80 | manchicken dpkg -l - lise all packages, dpkg-deb -c *.deb, list files in a deb, dpkg-query -L package, list files in installed package | 09:41 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe, Why am I poor? | 09:41 |
| Simon80 | list* | 09:41 |
| tsmithe | somerville32, cos you haven't donated to the venezuela fund! :P | 09:41 |
| lifeless | Simon80: why no ? manpages generally wont be distro specific | 09:42 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe, and I won't ;] | 09:42 |
| Simon80 | lifeless: I mean, what's the simplest thing to add to my cdbs rules file to get it to build my manpage from manpage.xml | 09:42 |
| tsmithe | somerville32, so you'l | 09:42 |
| lifeless | Simon80: so the upstream author will want it | 09:42 |
| tsmithe | hmm | 09:42 |
| tsmithe | somerville32, so you'll stay poor | 09:42 |
| tsmithe | :P | 09:42 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe, But really... why am I poor? | 09:42 |
| lifeless | Simon80: the simplest thing is not to build man pages from within the distro *packaging rules*, but to build them from within the *source code building rules* | 09:42 |
| tsmithe | somerville32, cos your app's not in | 09:42 |
| tsmithe | and monday's a long time away | 09:43 |

| Simon80 | lifeless: it's inconsequential, there's NO upstream | 09:43 |
| lifeless | what package is this ? :) | 09:43 |
| Simon80 | logitech_applet | 09:43 |
| Simon80 | it's very small, doesn't even need a manpage, so I'm kind of wanting to get this over with | 09:44 |
| lifeless | Simon80: is there a configure, and Makefile.am etc ? | 09:44 |
| Simon80 | yeah | 09:44 |
| lifeless | then thats the place to put the manpage generation | 09:45 |
| lifeless | as autoconf and automake have a tonne of machinery for doing that | 09:45 |
| Simon80 | oh | 09:45 |
| lifeless | your debian/ directory should be exclusively for doing 'package the software' tasks - its not geared for doing general software building | 09:46 |
| Simon80 | um, no | 09:46 |
| lifeless | and trying to do general software builds within it will just generate metric amounts of cruft. | 09:46 |
| Simon80 | debian has to build the software | 09:46 |
| Simon80 | ah | 09:46 |
| Simon80 | well, not really, this is a one time deal | 09:46 |
| Simon80 | and I mean, what you're saying is contrary to what dh_make does, which is put a manpage into debian/ | 09:47 |
| LaserJock | heh, it wouldn't be the first time dh_make does something we generally don't want to do | 09:47 |
| lifeless | dh_make takes the built manpage and packages it | 09:47 |
| Simon80 | lol | 09:48 |
| lifeless | it does not *build* the manpage in the first place | 09:48 |
| LaserJock | it converts it from sgml to man | 09:48 |
| Simon80 | no, dh_make generates a debian directory | 09:48 |
| LaserJock | which is sort of building | 09:48 |
| Simon80 | you're confusing debhelper with dh_make | 09:48 |
| LaserJock | no | 09:48 |
| Simon80 | not you | 09:48 |
| lifeless | later all | 09:49 |
| Simon80 | and I know, dh_make is part of debhelper | 09:49 |
| LaserJock | I don't think it is | 09:49 |
| somerville32 | I have a file that is not a binary nor a script with perms 0755 in the original tarball from upstream. dh_fixperms does not seem to address the issue so is it ok for me to manually modify the permissions before running make? :) | 09:49 |
| LaserJock | and lifeless is right in the sense that packaging isn't meant to do a bunch of building, patching, and adding files | 09:50 |
| Simon80 | hrm | 09:50 |
| LaserJock | it's meant to just "guide" the build process along and make sure things get packaged up into a .deb properly | 09:50 |
| LaserJock | *normally* things should go upstream | 09:50 |
| LaserJock | but as you've said there is no upstream | 09:50 |
| LaserJock | so you need to take vare of it | 09:51 |
| siretart | LaserJock: you were talking about acroread removed from ubuntu before, no? | 09:51 |
| somerville32 | LaserJock: ^^ | 09:51 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 09:51 |
| LaserJock | I'm sad to see it go | 09:51 |
| LaserJock | but I read the bug, it seems difficult | 09:52 |
| Simon80 | from my point of view, this is a tiny package, NO upstream, I've been using a checkinstalled copy for ever, and I don't even care if there's a manpage in it | 09:52 |
| LaserJock | somerville32: I guess you could but I don't know why you would exactly | 09:52 |
| Simon80 | all I wanted to know is what one liner to add to my rules to get this manpage file taken care of | 09:52 |
| tsmithe | LaserJock, are you free to review? | 09:52 |
| somerville32 | LaserJock, Because lintian and linda complain | 09:52 |
| LaserJock | tsmithe: nope | 09:52 |
| tsmithe | ok | 09:52 |
| LaserJock | somerville32: ah, then there you go | 09:52 |
| somerville32 | W: catfish; Executable /usr/share/catfish/catfish.glade with perms 0755 is not an ELF file or script. | 09:52 |
| LaserJock | tsmithe: sorry dude, trying to get to bed | 09:53 |
| tsmithe | ahh | 09:53 |
| tsmithe | i'll let you rest then | 09:53 |
| LaserJock | Simon80: dh_make provides you with the line | 09:53 |
| Simon80 | hasn't seemed to.. I genned a cdbs package | 09:53 |
| LaserJock | ah, that would be why | 09:53 |
| LaserJock | just do a quick one in a tmp dir | 09:54 |
| somerville32 | LaserJock: I did chmod -x but it still complains : ( | 09:54 |
| LaserJock | single binary | 09:54 |
| LaserJock | somerville32: hmm | 09:54 |
| somerville32 | LaserJock: Can I add an override? | 09:54 |
| somerville32 | Actually, no | 09:54 |
| somerville32 | Best just to fix it | 09:54 |
| slomo | LaserJock: why should acoread be removed? | 09:55 |
| LaserJock | slomo: apparently the license makes it undistributable | 09:55 |
| LaserJock | it has been removed from Feisty by tollef | 09:55 |
| somerville32 | LaserJock, What permissions should the gladefile have? | 09:56 |
| somerville32 | I'll just patch the Makefile to set the permissions with install | 09:56 |
| LaserJock | somerville32: just normal | 09:56 |
| somerville32 | Whats "normal"? | 09:56 |
| slomo | LaserJock: oh... well, i don't use it anyway ;) maybe this gets more people to use and improve evince/poppler ;) | 09:56 |

| LaserJock | slomo: all the vast number of university forms | 09:57 |
| LaserJock | acroread is the only thing that will do the filling out of them properly | 09:57 |
| crimsun | many of our pdfs are encrypted with forms | 09:57 |
| slomo | LaserJock: right... but this should change in the near future, people were working on form support for evince and the screenshots looked good already... | 09:58 |
| LaserJock | for the most part our uni no longer takes hand done forms | 09:58 |
| LaserJock | slomo: we'll see, Linux acroread barely gets by as it is | 09:58 |

| StevenK | crimsun: Hah | 10:02 |
| Simon80 | perhaps someone would like to just review it, it's just a manpage, NOBODY who is using this utility needs me to copy its --help output into a manpage | 10:02 |
| tsmithe | somerville32, that rm line is needed | 10:03 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe, Why? | 10:03 |
| tsmithe | cos otherwise i get two copies of the files it removes | 10:04 |
| siretart | hm. perhaps we can do something like 'http://debian-unofficial.org' - think of http://ubuntu-unofficial.org or something | 10:05 |
| LaserJock | slomo: they pay for windows, and office, and full adobe acrobat if I want | 10:05 |
| somerville32 | tsmite: What do you mean? | 10:06 |
| siretart | who would be interested in helping out maintaining such an repo? | 10:06 |
| LaserJock | siretart: what would it have in it? | 10:06 |
| LaserJock | I'm not hugely familiar with debian-unofficial.org | 10:07 |
| somerville32 | siretart: Sure. More practise the better :) | 10:07 |
| crimsun | I'm still holding out hope for evince (and possibly acroread in feisty-commercial) | 10:07 |
| === somerville32 nods. | ||
| somerville32 | crimsun: My thoughts exactly :re feisty-commercial | 10:07 |
| tsmithe | somerville32, otherwise, i get files in /lib/firmware and /lib/firmware/hdsploader | 10:07 |
| StevenK | crimsun: What about evince? | 10:08 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe, But why? | 10:08 |
| crimsun | StevenK: hoping that its form-filling capabilities mature | 10:08 |
| siretart | LaserJock: look at http://debian-unofficial.org/packages.html for getting an idea | 10:08 |
| StevenK | Ahhh. | 10:08 |
| tsmithe | cos they are copied by dh_install, but not removed | 10:08 |
| siretart | perhaps libdvdcss as well | 10:09 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe: Then fix dh_install? | 10:09 |
| somerville32 | Why would dh_install copy it over twice? | 10:09 |
| tsmithe | it doesn't... the makefile puts it in /lib/firmware, and dh_install copies it to /lib/firmware/hdsploader, leaving the old files... bah; i'll just patch the makefile | 10:10 |
| somerville32 | Good idea! :) | 10:10 |
| somerville32 | But it is best to use the Makefile instead of dh_install | 10:10 |
| tsmithe | of course | 10:11 |
| somerville32 | crimsun: I have a package that I just uploaded to revu that I'm 99% ready for upload unless I've done something stupid :) Could you review quickly? (the package is small so should be quick too) | 10:13 |
| somerville32 | *sure is | 10:13 |

| somerville32 | I should | 10:17 |
| somerville32 | tsmithe: Why don't you review my package for me? | 10:17 |
| tsmithe | ok | 10:17 |
| somerville32 | Maybe I've done something stupid because I'm sleepy | 10:17 |
| tsmithe | i'll try | 10:17 |
| somerville32 | ok :) | 10:17 |
| somerville32 | Simon80, You still around? | 10:18 |
| somerville32 | Simon80, You need to rebuild the source package | 10:19 |
| somerville32 | debuild -S -sa | 10:19 |
| somerville32 | And then reupload | 10:19 |
| siretart | somerville32: well, I would talk and arrange things with the debian-unofficial guy, but I don't think I can maintain the repo alone | 10:19 |
| somerville32 | siretart: Awesome. | 10:19 |

| zorglu_ | but i could swear my package building script worked before. (how many time i have heard that from other :) | 01:07 |
| StevenK | Why not just use dh_builddeb? | 01:07 |
| zorglu_ | any suggestion on a fix ? | 01:07 |

| StevenK | Change it to dpkg-deb -b debian/tmp, it should figure out the archive name on it's own, and double check everything is installing into debian/tmp | 01:09 |
| zorglu_ | how do i specify the destination directory of the built pacakge ? | 01:09 |
| StevenK | Just put .. then | 01:10 |
| StevenK | dpkg-deb -b|--build directory [archive|directory] | 01:11 |
| zorglu_ | it is what i have in fact :) | 01:12 |
| zorglu_ | the weird thing is that the ../debian_package/mypackage.deb got created | 01:12 |
| zorglu_ | only the dpkg-genchanges fails to find it | 01:12 |
| zorglu_ | maybe dpkg-deb --build fails to give it the destination directory ? | 01:13 |
| zorglu_ | dpkg-genchanges: failure: cannot open upload file ../mypackage.deb <- it does get the "debian_package" direcotry specified in the dpkg-dev | 01:14 |
| zorglu_ | b | 01:14 |
| StevenK | Hrm | 01:14 |
| zorglu_ | and if i put "dpkg-deb --build debian/tmp .." it works ok | 01:14 |
| StevenK | Neat . | 01:15 |
| zorglu_ | but not if i put "dpkg-deb --build debian/tmp ../debian_package", i mean, genchanges fails vbut the .deb is created | 01:15 |
| highvoltage | 4 | 01:16 |
| StevenK | More than likely, you're not making a .deb that genchanges is expecting. | 01:16 |
| zorglu_ | yep, genchanges make this clear :) | 01:16 |

| zorglu_ | lack of documentation forces me to try to analyse their source to understand what they did and i failed to find the source :) | 01:21 |
| StevenK | All of the debhelper commands are in /usr/bin | 01:22 |
| zorglu_ | ok the dpkg-deb produces a simple "dpkg-genchanges -B" wihtout my destination directory | 01:22 |
| StevenK | dpkg -L debhelper would have told you that | 01:22 |
| zorglu_ | this is the cause of the trouble, dpkg-genchanges assume a ".." destination directory | 01:22 |

| StevenK | There's a debhelper tutorial around, that should have gotten you through it | 01:25 |

| zorglu_ | ok trying to fix with debhelper :) | 01:26 |
| zorglu_ | which doesnt do much good :) | 01:26 |
| zorglu_ | dpkg-genchanges -B <- it is exactly the same genchanges which is outputed | 01:27 |
| zorglu_ | so the destination directory is not really supported ? | 01:27 |
| StevenK | A destination directory of .. the default | 01:28 |
| StevenK | s/the/is the/ | 01:28 |

| zorglu_ | StevenK: i saw this one, but how to set this in the dpkg-deb or dh_buildeb ? | 01:34 |
| zorglu_ | oh builddeb allow some, lets try :) | 01:35 |
| zorglu_ | ok lets give up this idea of destination directory :) | 01:37 |

| === StevenK builds things under ~/debian or ~/ubuntu | ||

| zorglu_ | and you dont care as it is all handled by pbuilder :) | 01:42 |
| zorglu_ | ok so i need a workaround and the ".." will do it for now :) | 01:43 |
| Amaranth | you have to build it once to get a dsc file to run through pbuilder | 01:43 |
| zorglu_ | well im a beginer and i dunno what the .dsc file is :) | 01:43 |
| zorglu_ | nor the .changes file :) | 01:43 |
| zorglu_ | nor a lot of other things :) | 01:43 |
| StevenK | Amaranth: Or use pdebuild | 01:44 |
| Amaranth | StevenK: ooh | 01:44 |
| Amaranth | learn something new every day | 01:44 |
| StevenK | And generating a .dsc is a matter of dpkg-source -b | 01:44 |
| Amaranth | yeah but i build it once anyway | 01:44 |
| Amaranth | no need to waste a pbuilder run if it's not going to compile | 01:45 |
| Amaranth | pbuilder is slow to setup/teardown | 01:45 |
| zorglu_ | oh i got one solution :) "copy all my script and directory in a temporary dir, have it built there, and then copy only the .deb in my destination directory" :) | 01:46 |

| azeem | white: good idea | 02:04 |
| persia | white: I'm not authoritative, but if the Utnubu team would be willing to support and assist Ubuntu developers working with Debian, it may well be a better contact point to put on the Wiki, etc. MOTU topics are generally discussed on ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com, although Ubuntu doesn't use mail nearly as much as Debian (IRC, the Wiki, and Launchpad are primary communication media). | 02:04 |

| white | though it is worth trying it out i guess | 02:06 |
| geser | StevenK: isn't the Sources-file generated from the .dsc files? if so the Original-Maintainer should also be there and we should add XS-Original-Maintainer to the contol file? | 02:06 |
| zorglu_ | btw is there one of those distro agnostic packaging system (e.g. klick or autopackage or other) which is accepted by default on ubuntu ? | 02:06 |
| Adri2000 | geser: I'm not really conviced of the way to handle that Maintainer field problem, isn't it possible to do that (move Maintainer to Debian-Maintainer and put Ubuntu Developers as Maintainer) automatically, just after the upload and before it hits archive.u.c? | 02:07 |
| geser | not in the .dsc file as this would break the signature | 02:07 |
| Adri2000 | s/Debian-Maintainer/Original-Maintainer/ | 02:08 |
| Adri2000 | hmm | 02:08 |
| persia | geser: Why XS-Original-Maintainer? | 02:08 |
| geser | persia: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s5.7 | 02:09 |
| geser | if I understand it correctly | 02:09 |
| geser | Adri2000: for binary packages this is already done on package build | 02:09 |
| Adri2000 | I know | 02:09 |
| Adri2000 | and I was wondering why it was not possible to do the same for source packages | 02:10 |
| azeem | is it really important to have this for source packages? | 02:10 |
| persia | geser: Your understanding matches mine, but I was told to follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleasePlan ("Original-Maintainer") when I asked mdz if the packages should be changed, and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField calls for "X-Original-Maintainer". | 02:11 |
| === persia has been patching with "Original-Maintainer" for the past two days | ||
| geser | Adri2000: because of the .dsc file which is gpg signed by the uploader, if you modify the .dsc file you either break the gpg signature or have to re-sign it | 02:13 |
| Adri2000 | geser: ok, I understand now | 02:14 |
| geser | persia: do you know if X-O-M ends in the .dsc? IMHO if we preserve it in a extra-field it should be visible in the .dsc | 02:19 |
| persia | geser: Building now to check... | 02:20 |
| persia | geser: No (although this might be another reason to parse the field). | 02:23 |
| persia | geser: Nevermind. That was O-M. Hold on... | 02:24 |
| persia | geser: Neither O-M nor X-O-M are passed to the .dsc. | 02:25 |
| zorglu_ | btw is there one of those distro agnostic packaging system (e.g. klick or autopackage or other) which is accepted by default on ubuntu ? | 02:28 |
| azeem | what do you mean "by default"? | 02:28 |
| Lathiat | zorglu_: if you mean into the ubuntu archives, then no | 02:28 |
| persia | geser: XS-O-M does the right thing for .dsc (are my patches then incorrect?). | 02:29 |
| zorglu_ | Lathiat: nope, i mean as in installed by default, so user can install those package easily | 02:29 |
| zorglu_ | azeem: by default as in i install the cd and i got the support for this packaging system | 02:30 |
| persia | geser: Furthermore, should we use XBS-O-M, as pkgmaintainermangler will likely ignore the package due to the @ubuntu,com in the maintainer field? | 02:31 |
| geser | persia: yes, you are right, it should be XBS-O-M | 02:34 |

| === persia patched lamont's xdelta extra wrong :( | ||
| persia | hi bddebian. | 04:21 |
| bddebian | Heya persia | 04:21 |
| ScottK | heya bddebian | 04:24 |
| ScottK | I think I'm ready for you to look at the package again, but after last night's fun I'm (almost) afraid to ask. http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=4064 | 04:25 |
| bddebian | Heh | 04:25 |
| bddebian | ScottK: Yeah, give me a bit | 04:26 |
| ScottK | Thanks. | 04:26 |
| persia | ScottK: Just for fun, you may want to change "This may be to short..." to "This may be too short..." in the manpage :) | 04:28 |
| Lutin | geser: is adding the exceptions worth it, I mean if there are plans to handle it on buildd for ex, I won't bother with it | 04:30 |
| Lutin | ? | 04:30 |
| geser | Lutin: it's not that straightforward to modify the maintainer of a source package on the builds, as this breaks the gpg signature in the .dsc file | 04:32 |
| === joejaxx [i=joejaxx@ubuntu/member/joejaxx] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Lutin | geser: hum, you're right | 04:32 |
| ScottK | persia: This leads to a philosphical question... I made the man page from the upstream README. That same spelling error is present there. Should I fix the spelling error both places for enhanced correctness, fix it only in the man page to keep the diff small, or fix it not at all for consistency with upstream documentation? | 04:32 |
| persia | ScottK: For myself, I'd fix the spelling, and send a bug to upstream. | 04:33 |
| geser | Lutin: if it would be possible, I'd assume it would be already happening for source packages also | 04:33 |
| persia | Lutin: I've added the exceptions locally, if you have yet to do so. | 04:34 |

| Lutin | ok persia, thanks :) | 04:37 |
| persia | I'm fairly certain that will also catch lists.* | 04:37 |
| === jdong [n=jdong@ubuntu/member/jdong] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ScottK | bddebian: I'm going to fix persia's typo, so on the off chance you are going to advocate my package, I'd prefer you do it to the next rev. I'll post the url here when it's up. | 04:42 |
| === cypher1 [n=cypher1@59.92.151.121] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| ScottK | persia: Your reviews have been very helpful. The next package I am working on is http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=4053. In this one the upstream mentions the licenses and gave urls, but didn't include license text. It was bounced from NEW because of this. The advice I got from Tollef was to rebuild orig.tar.gz adding the text since upstream declined to do a new release for this. If you have time, I'd appreciate | 04:51 |
| ScottK | aming right when I rebuilt the orig.tar.gz. | 04:51 |
| bddebian | ScottK: OK | 04:51 |
| ScottK | bddebian: Here it is. http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=4070 | 04:52 |
| persia | ScottK: These are extremely long package names. Users are going to hate typing them :) | 04:53 |
| ScottK | They should never have to type it. | 04:54 |
| ScottK | This is a dependency for another package that comes later. | 04:54 |
| Lutin | geser: does it look ok to you: http://dunnewind.net/~lutin/resource/update-maintainer ? | 04:54 |
| ScottK | Upstream put it out as a separate package only because it may be useful for other things. | 04:54 |
| ScottK | The upstream is also working on getting this into Debian and that's the package name he's using there, so I think it's important to be consistent. | 04:55 |
| ScottK | But, I agree. It's an extremely long package name. | 04:55 |
| persia | ScottK: Your first changelog doesn't need to be so specific. Intiial release is likely sufficient, although it doesn't hurt to follow the practice of documenting everything. | 04:57 |
| ScottK | Thanks. Another philosphical question: Upstream provides a /debian directory and most of that is from the upstream. Is it better to delete it or leave it when it's not necessary? | 04:58 |
| ScottK | Given I'd already rebuilt orig.tar.gz for this package I decided to change as little else as possible. | 04:59 |
| persia | ScottK: To reduce confusion, I'd change the license paragraph to "This is free software. You may use, modify, and distribute it under the terms of either the GNU General Public License (version 2 or later) or the Artistic License.", as the terms don't really match perl's (except in spirit). On the other hand, I've never written a copyright file, so I'm probably weakest here. | 05:00 |
| ScottK | Which file are you in? That shows up more than one place? | 05:00 |
| persia | ScottK: If the upstream debian/ helps you, leave it. If it doesn't, remove it. From my memory of old mailing list discussions, it is generally annoying a few versions down, when upstream makes some change you didn't expect. | 05:01 |
| geser | Lutin: looks ok for a quick hack :) | 05:01 |
| Lutin | geser: feel free to test it extensively, I don't really have the time to do it | 05:01 |
| Lutin | geser: espacially the ignore list and the multi-domains selections | 05:01 |
| persia | ScottK: I was looking at debian/copyright. LICENSE seems to indicate these are the same terms as perl, which I don't think is true. | 05:02 |
| ScottK | No, it's not the same terms. PERL is GPL v1 too. | 05:02 |
| geser | Lutin: will do, once it's clear if the field should be Original-Maintainer, XBS-O-M or something else | 05:02 |
| persia | Lutin: You may wish to move the domains to a variable as well, for improved readability. | 05:03 |
| ScottK | The feedback I got from Tollef indicated to me that once the actual licenses that were applicable were added, he was OK with that. | 05:03 |
| Lutin | persia: true, but I'd like to be sure it actually works before cleaning up ^^ | 05:03 |
| Lutin | 1/ make it work flawlessly, make it really clean is extra for the moment :] | 05:04 |
| persia | ScottK: That's the person to convince, so if you have already received word that that language is correct, ignore me. | 05:04 |
| persia | Lutin: understood. I'll start testing as soon as the decision is published, and let you if I encounter any issues. | 05:05 |
| ScottK | It was more like didn't object to the revised wording when I e-mailed him back after he bounced it the first time. | 05:05 |
| Lutin | persia: ok, tested the ignore domains regexp, seems to be ok so moving to a var :) | 05:06 |
| persia | ScottK: The contents of README.Debian do not appear useful to the average administrator. I know I at least look at that file whenever I want to understand what something does. I might move that to README.Packaging, and make sure it didn't get included in the binary deps. | 05:07 |
| === persia grabs the new update-maintainer | ||
| Lutin | persia: have a look at http://dunnewind.net/~lutin/resource/update-maintainer and tell me if it's ok for ya :) | 05:08 |
| ScottK | Here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-origtargz is says README.Debian-source (I didn't find this before). Does that sound right? | 05:10 |
| persia | Lutin: You might use main|restricted) and universe|multiverse) to make it even shorter, but it looks nice. I'm just not sure about the 3rd from last line. Thanks a lot for this, it should make things easier. | 05:11 |
| persia | ScottK: That sounds exactly right. | 05:12 |
| ScottK | persia: BTW, for the perl-policy thingy I have upstream commit rights for the svn, so I didn't write I bug, I just fixed it. | 05:12 |
| ScottK | Thanks. I'll go do that. | 05:12 |
| Lutin | persia: the line that actually replaces the maintainer . | 05:12 |
| Lutin | ? | 05:12 |
| persia | ScottK: When you're upstream, you get all the fun :) | 05:12 |
| ScottK | Yeah. The fun part on that is I'm upstream only after the last release (for about 4 days now). | 05:13 |
| persia | Lutin: Yes, it's whether it should be "...\nOriginal...", "...\nXBS-Original..." or something else. | 05:13 |
| ScottK | When I was working on packaging I whined about some stuff and the response I got was, OK, then you maintain it... | 05:14 |
| Lutin | persia: yep, but as far as we don't know, I can't put voodoo in the script to determine it :] | 05:14 |
| persia | Lutin: My apologies. I didn't mean that. To rephrase, except for the part for which the requirements have yet to be defined, it appears that this application meets current expectations for the user community :) | 05:16 |
| ScottK | I'm going to clarify debian/copyright too while I'm at it. | 05:16 |
| Lutin | persia: hehe, np. thanks :) | 05:17 |
| ScottK | persia: Thanks for the help. Is there anything else before I upload again or are you still looking? | 05:20 |
| persia | ScottK: still looking | 05:20 |

| ScottK | bddebian: Thanks for the REVU. re your comment: http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=4070 I don't think the package is contentious as much as I've made a number of small mistakes along the way (my inexperience is showing). I think it's finally good and so now all I need is one more... | 09:24 |
| bddebian | ScottK: Well you have been beaten up more than most I think for some reason | 09:25 |
| ScottK | It's OK. It's been a good learning experience. | 09:25 |
| ScottK | I plan to do more of this, so it's all good. | 09:26 |
| ScottK | Anyone availble to look to be a second advocate? | 09:26 |

| ScottK | OK. I'd appreciate it if you put that one on your list. It's got a rebuilt orig.tar.gz in response to Tollef bouncing it from NEW because of no LICENSE file. I think I did it right, but... | 09:29 |
| neutrinomass | crimsun: sorry, I thought it was standard practice | 09:30 |
| ScottK | bddebian: I did get feedback from Tollef saying I should rebuild orig.tar.gz. My concern is did I do it right. | 09:30 |
| Toadstool | heya everybody! | 09:30 |

| crimsun | neutrinomass: no, a member of ubuntu-dev will ACK your sync request and then sub u-a | 09:31 |
| crimsun | neutrinomass: for instances such as this one where the Debian component was missing, it helps prevent additional notifications from spamming the inboxes of u-a members | 09:32 |

| persia | good morning | 11:19 |
| geser | hello persia | 11:20 |
| persia | Monday, eh? Oh well. | 11:20 |
| geser | just a guess | 11:20 |
| geser | if you are interested: I've modified the pkgmaintainermangler script used by the buildds to work on source packages: http://members.ping.de/~mb/srcmaintainermangler/ | 11:22 |
| persia | geser: That looks more robust, but it's definitely a lot wordier and harder to grasp in a glance than Lutin's. | 11:25 |
| persia | geser: Lutin: What about adding `dch Modified Maintainer values to match Debian-Maintainer-Field spec` to the script to save that step as well? | 11:27 |
| Lutin | persia: the point is, the script assumes it was already dch'ed | 11:28 |
| Lutin | because in case you're modifying a synced package, you need to dch before running the script so that the ubuntu field in changelog can be detected | 11:29 |
| persia | Lutin: I'm just imagining the case where hundreds of -*ubuntu* packages need to be modified to suit in late April or early May, but I suppose it can be a two step process (like dh_iconcache was), which ensures the appropriate human oversight. | 11:31 |
| === Lathiat [n=lathiat@ubuntu/member/pdpc.basic.lathiat] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Lutin | persia: yes, I think it'd be better to do it in two steps | 11:32 |
| Lutin | persia: all the pkges will have to be changed for feisty +1 ? | 11:43 |
| persia | Lutin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleasePlan indicates that all the packages will have to be changed for feisty. | 11:45 |
| persia | Lutin: That's modified packages only. Sync packages stay the same. | 11:45 |
| Lutin | persia:ok | 11:45 |
| Lutin | persia: but if you fix a bug in a sync package, you'll also have to do it, right ? | 11:46 |
| persia | Lutin: My understanding is that everything with an *ubuntu* version needs it. Depends how the bug is fixed, but usually. | 11:47 |
| Lutin | ok | 11:47 |
| geser | Lure: uploaded soundkonverter | 11:47 |
| === fernando [n=fernando@unaffiliated/musb] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| Lutin | persia: what do you mean by 'robust' btw ? | 11:50 |

| persia | Lutin: Less prone to failure due to user error. The big difference is that srcmaintainermangler works whether you are in the package root or in the debian folder. | 11:52 |
| geser | Lutin: have you checked what happens if someone has more Sources lines (e.g. edgy+feisty or feisty+sid)? | 11:53 |
| Lure | geser: thanks | 11:54 |
| Lutin | btw, geser; persia: new maintianer field is now in the wiki it seemd | 11:54 |
| Lutin | -d +s | 11:54 |
| Lutin | f the Maintainer field is modified, the old value will be saved in a field named X-Original-Maintainer | 11:54 |
| Lutin | geser: yeah, checked, that works | 11:55 |
| Lutin | geser: actually the script searches for the firsr distro-specific line | 11:55 |
| persia | Lutin: That's from July. It has all the negative effects of both O-M and XBS-O-M, and none of the benefits of either. | 11:56 |
| Lutin | persia: ah, ok, sorry | 11:56 |
| === guibis [n=guibis@dwl68.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| geser | some packages use control.in from which debian/rules builds the control file, so you want also modify that file | 11:57 |
| geser | Lutin: looking how you determine the component it depends on the order in which apt-cache madison prints the Sources lines | 11:58 |
| geser | so you may end using the edgy line (a package may moved in feisty) or the one from Debian | 11:58 |
| Lutin | geser: how could that happen ? | 11:59 |
| Lutin | basically, i take the distro from the changelog | 11:59 |
| Lutin | and grep -m 1 $distro*sources the result of apt-cache madison | 11:59 |
| Lutin | can't see how a debian line could be selected | 11:59 |
| geser | than I have an outdated version of your script | 12:00 |
| geser | sorry, I was looking at an outdated version | 12:01 |
| Lutin | np :) | 12:01 |
| Lutin | updated version is at the same place | 12:02 |
| persia | Lutin: I realised why adding dch was useful: presumably the script is run after the changelog is updated, but the updater may not know if the maintainer needs to be mangled prior to running the script (due to exceptions, etc.), and may need to update the changelog again, depending on the script output. | 12:05 |
| Lutin | persia: this way, that would cause the ubuntu revision tu be bumped twice | 12:06 |
| Lutin | to* | 12:07 |
| === mr_pouit [n=mrpouit@lns-bzn-49f-81-56-214-84.adsl.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| persia | Lutin: Not `dch -i`, just `dch Modified Maintainer values to match Debian-Maintainer-Field spec`, which should add a comment within the same revision. | 12:07 |
| Lutin | ahhh ok | 12:07 |
| Lutin | np then | 12:07 |
| Lutin | adding it right now | 12:07 |
| Lutin | persia: ok,added | 12:10 |
| persia | Lutin: Why -m? | 12:12 |
| Lutin | persia: preserve maintainer name | 12:13 |
