(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: I think recent dpkg-source have been fixed to ignore most bzr/git stuff they failed to ignore in the past11:42
mdzlool: ah, we haven't merged dpkg yet in gutsy11:43
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) tko: debian/ in upstream VCS is fine, but it's painful in tarballs11:43
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: Then you have a good motivation to do so :)11:43
=== lool . o O ( I suppose the apt-getable archive isn't interesting for the tarballs if Ubuntu takes SVN snapshots of the upstream sources )
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: Are you recommending the use of native packages because it makes it easier to build/upload stuff from bzr checkouts?11:46
mdzlool: yep11:47
mdzlool: combined with the fact that there are no upstream tarball releases11:47
tkowould there be much benefit from us doing real tarball releases?11:52
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) tko: Speaking for Debian, which is currently *not* packaging hildon, there certainly would be benefit for other distros11:54
tkoright. annoying that being both upstream maintainer and packager doing so means extra work :-/12:01
=== zul [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c1-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-mobile
mdzlool: do you know of any reason why Debian could not adopt Ubuntu's packages verbatim?12:16
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: Some developers have complained about the changelog entries, and they usually need some checks to meet Debian standards12:17
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: Check libhildon, it has a couple of lintian errors12:17
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) The copyright file is mostly clean, but Debian ftpmasters would require a download URL12:18
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) etc;12:18
mdzlool: I haven't seen tollef's new package, but with the old hildon-libs one, the only issue was the lack of descriptions12:18
mdzwhich we have a plan to clean up later, not blocking entry into the archive for that12:18
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) debhelper build-dep is >= 4 while debian/compat says 512:18
mdzlool: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/mobile-maemo-packaging-cleanup12:19
mdzI added incorrect debhelper deps to the list; please feel free to add other problems you find12:19
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: Thanks, didn't know about this spec12:20
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: Coincidentally, I wondered this morning on #debian-devel-french whether anybody would be interesting about having hildon packages in Debian, and mentionned some use cases12:22
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) It seems no awake french DD has particular interest on the packages though12:23
mdzif anyone has such an interest, please point them to bzr12:23
mdzso that we can stay in sync12:23
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: I will; any shared source repository for packages is always a good idea12:24
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: Is this MaemoPackagingCleanup supposed to happen on upstream debian/ or only in Ubuntu's bzr?12:28
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) Do some people here already commit on the upstream debian/?12:28
mdzall of our work will go into bzr12:29
mdzif it can be merged from there to upstream, that would be good12:29
mdzor if upstream would prefer to remove the packaging from svn and let that part happen in bzr, that's also ok12:30
mdzbut we definitely want it to be decentralized12:30
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) (I understand that we want the changes to end up in the bzr, but I was wondering whether we could do them "upstream" in the SVN, and merge that in bzr from the upstream branch)12:31
mdzlool: the point of using bzr is that anyone can create a branch and we can easily merge between them12:34
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) Sure, I understand how Debian could create a debian branch and benefit from sharing the same repository; it's just that "upstream" is currently using SVN which makes me wonder whether changing debian/ in bzr is the best way to go -- but indeed, would they use bzr, they would have an easy time pulling the fixes :-)12:37
mdzlool: we require the ability to grant commit access, including the packaging, to ubuntu mobile developers12:44

(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) Ah, dpkg-source -i doesn't work on native packages01:10
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) Needs -I.bzr instead01:11

Mithrandirmdz: hiya04:51
mdzMithrandir: checking in to see how the hildon packaging is going04:52
Mithrandirwebjames: that would depend on the people distributing hardware.  We are currently working on the software stack and I am not aware of GSM capabilities of any of the current target platforms.04:52
Mithrandirmdz: it's a public holiday in Norway so I'm not really here.04:53

Mithrandirsounds good.04:57
Mithrandirhave you seen any guide to what bits should be packaged first yet?04:57

(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) Concerning the descriptions: I found out that Maemo has a nicely documented trademark policy, but it might be a bit painful to use this name in the source packages; there are plenty of rules to follow, such as using the (TM) symbol, or avoiding "based on maemo" in favor of "incorporating maemo"; so I recommend avoiding "maemo" altogether, except perhaps for the Homepage link07:33
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) Links to TM policies: http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2007-May/010234.html07:33
adilsonlool: I've being looking at this a few days ago but, according to mdz, this should not be a problem as we are refering to maemo itself, not naming anything after it.07:42
(lool/#ubuntu-mobile) I suppose it would be fair use; I wondered about it for a Debian "pkg-maemo" project07:44
