persiadabaR: When adding new files, it's best to put them in debian/ if possible.  This makes the distribution patches only be to one directory, and it's easier to see what is local and what is upstream.12:31

nixternalif we merge from Debian, it is a useless cause for GUI users12:34
LaserJockdabaR: you should read some up in the Ubuntu Packaging Guide or Debian New Maintainers Guide12:34
LaserJockor even look at a program you know has one12:34
dabaROK, I guess shortcuts are bad:)12:34
dabaRI will do this later, thanks.12:35
LaserJockwell no, it's a matter of teaching you where to go for these things12:35
LaserJockthe general syntax is:12:35
LaserJockfile.desktop usr/share/applications/12:35
LaserJockwhere file.desktop is the path to the desktop in the source12:35
persianixternal: :)12:36
nixternalhrmm..so if I(we) do this merge, there will be no plucker-desktop...good news is I can close one bug though by adding a patch :)12:36
nixternalplucker is dead12:36
persianixternal: You can also mark the wx2.4Migration done, as it doesn't have a GUI anymore.  Are you sure you don't want to move to a snapshot?12:37
nixternala snapshot of what?12:40
nixternalthere hasn't been any dev work to plucker for 2 years now12:40
nixternalunless they are working somewhere top secret12:40
nixternalI am going to give that patch a try12:41
nixternalactually, I am going to eat, and then hack on plucker12:42
persianixternal: http://www.plkr.org/snapshots/plucker_snapshot.tar.gz  I took a CVS snapshot for freqtweak (with similar lack of work for years) and it looks better - upstream just never released the final version.12:42

=== pschulz01 [n=pschulz0@ubuntu/member/pschulz01] has joined #ubuntu-motu
pschulz01Morning.. question.. how do I use the <packagename>.install files properly?01:12
TheMusopschulz01: What build system is being used to build the package?01:12
pschulz01I have a multi-binary package/control file.01:12
pschulz01I have used 'dh_make' to set everything up.01:13
pschulz01Howdy TheMuso !01:13
TheMusopschulz01: Did you explicitly tell dh_make to use cdbs?01:13
pschulz01? no01:13
TheMusoIf not, you are using debhelper. To use the .install files, you need to use dh_install.01:13
TheMusoWhich goes in the install target.01:14
TheMusoIt will read all *.install files and do its thing.01:14
TheMusothe manpage tells you how to make a .install file.01:14
pschulz01The dh_install man page talks about building and copying from debian/tmp01:14
TheMusoYes.01:14
TheMusoThats what .install files are for.01:14
pschulz01.. but I get debian/<name-of-first-binary-package>01:15
TheMusoYou run make install or whatever into a temporary location, then you use dh_install to move everything into the proper packages.01:15
TheMusoso make install DESTDIR=debian/tmp and then dh_install does the rest, using the files in debian/tmp.01:15
=== TheMuso tries to think of a package you can look at that does the same thing.
pschulz01The source uses the GNU auto tools..01:15
=== RAOF [n=chris@60-242-199-65.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-motu
TheMusoBut you said that it was a multi-binary package?01:16
pschulz01So I use './configure --prefix=/usr'01:16
TheMusoRAOF: Hey there. Just took care of your pyinotify merge.01:16
TheMusopschulz01: That should have already been done for you in debian/rules.01:16
RAOFTheMuso: Yay.01:16
LaserJockI got a quick shell problem, I've got a directory full of files with spaces in the names, how can I get rid of the spaces?01:17
pschulz01TheMuso: Well. there were a whole lot of other options that were messing things up.. (architecture etc.)01:17
StevenKLaserJock: qmv 01:17
TheMusoLaserJock: for file in *; do mv "$file" `echo "$file" | tr ' ' '_'`; done01:17
StevenKTheMuso: Learn about $()01:18
TheMusopschulz01: Right.01:18
RAOFAnd I've almost got a Sid VM so I can check that the python-versions bug applies to Debian!01:18
TheMusoStevenK: ??01:18
pschulz01I want to spilt the result of the build into a collection of packages, and the *.install' files seem to be be the most sensible method.01:18

nixternalhrmm...quick question here...I have a file 'pluck-comics.py.in' and instead of #!/usr/bin/python it has @PYTHON@..is this cool, or should it be changed to #!/usr/bin/python?01:41
ajmitchok, another merge down, hopefully this one isn't as broken as the last :)01:41
nixternal#!@PYTHON@ to be exact01:41
ajmitchnixternal: that's why it's an .in, but it means it'll end up hardcoding a specific python version01:42
ajmitchdepending on what @PYTHON@ resolves to01:42
nixternalOK, so I should go ahead and make a patch to do #!/usr/bin/python instead01:42
ajmitchdepends on the above ^^01:42
persianixternal: .in files are usually processed by ./configure, so it is likely replaced.  On the other hand, I thought we recommended #!/usr/bin/env python instead (which would be used for the value of PYTHON for configure).01:42
nixternalwell, the 1.8 is patched to remove #!/usr/bin/python2.2 and replace it with #!/usr/bin/python01:43
persianixternal: But 1.9 uses @PYTHON@ instead of #!/usr/bin/python2.2?01:44
nixternalI am working on the snapshot, which has a lot of changes/updates to it..I was surprised actually01:44
nixternalpersia: yes01:44
RAOFpersia: #!/usr/bin/env python is annoying, because the script shows up as "python2.5" in process views, rather than "foo".01:44
nixternalif we keep the @PYTHON@ then we can drop a patch01:44
=== blackskad [n=blackska@d54C1A48C.access.telenet.be] has left #ubuntu-motu []
StevenKRAOF: /usr/bin/env is doubly annoying because $LUSER might have python1.5 installed as /usr/local/bin/python01:45
persianixternal: I recommend either digging through the build process to change the variables, or building it to see what you get, and if it's not correctly, searching for it in the original source and patching it there, rather than replacing @PYTHON@.01:45
RAOFOh, really? And env will pick that up in preference to our shiny new python2.5?01:45
nixternalpersia: roger!01:45
StevenKenv goes by $PATH only.01:45
=== persia has been disabused. Thank you.
StevenKAnd based on our path, /usr/local/bin trumps both /usr/bin and /bin.01:47
StevenKOur default $PATH, I should say.01:47

keescookdang. my optical mouse just stopped working.02:23
PriceChildTime for bed now though I'm afraid :(02:23
persiaPriceChild: I don't know.  I think you need COPYING for the GPL content, but it doesn't provide a good overview for COPYING the package.  Perhaps NOTICE needs to be updated?  But that's really an upstream thing.02:23
keescooknot even the red light works02:23
Hobbseekeescook: i thought mice were overrated for you terminal lovers?02:23

FujitsuThat's something I've been wondering about for a while, but I really have no idea about it.03:54
nixternalpersia: thanks03:54
ScottKOK.  It looks to be based on looking at the code and what LaserJock told me the python-numpy should conflict python-scipy-core, not python-scipy conflict python-scipy-core03:55
ScottKOK.  Well scipy definitely does not provide what scipy-core provides, so I am dead certain that the current situation it wrong.03:55
FujitsuRight, that makes more sense.03:55
LaserJockI really thought that was odd03:56

ScottKhendrixski: That'll work on your local system, but not if you want to package something to be distributed by Ubuntu.04:54
hendrixskiScottK, so if I want to turn it into a .deb I have to tarball those two files and then dh_make?04:55
ScottKIt's a little more complex.  What Ubuntu release are you running?04:58
hendrixskiScottK, I'm working through this manual on python distutils and I'm not even sure if it installed it on my system (well, on my chroot) so i dunno if I'm ready to move onto the debianization part of it04:58

hendrixskiactually, I'm still pretty confused... python-yaml is an extension to python.. so it uses the distutils.. can I use the distutils for packaging applications, like my helloworld?05:20
hendrixskiI'm getting the impression from reading stuff that distutils is only for adding functionality to the python language itself?  is that, kind of close to true?05:21
ajmitchdistutils is used for applications as well05:21
LaserJockhmm, I can't seem to unmount a proc mounted in schroot05:23
ajmitchLaserJock: kill whatever's using it05:23
persiaLaserJock: `sudo lsof | grep schroot`05:24

StevenKpersia: How?05:39
ScottKpersia: spamd in spamassassin installs default not started, so it is possible.05:40
persiaStevenK: When sbuild detects it is running in a session-managed chroot, it doesn't remove the build-deps after the build.  When there are daemons running, they stay running, and schroot cannot clean up after itself, leaving an extra snapshot.  After a while the snapshot partition gets full.05:40
StevenKAhh.05:41
StevenKpbuilder manages to cope with this ... :-)05:41
=== StevenK plays "Tempting persia With Pbuilder", take #27420
persiaStevenK: These need to be manually removed by killing the offending processes and running `schroot -e -c long-complicated-random-string-generated-at-build-time`.  If they are forcibly removed with `sudo lvremove /dev/data00/long-complicated-random-string-generated-at-build-time`, schroot gets confused.05:42
persiaStevenK: pbuilder requires me to untar each time.  Snapshots are instantaneous.05:42
hendrixskiScottK, aaahh cool05:42
StevenKPerhaps if pbuilder could use snapshots.05:43
TheMusopersia: How do snapshots help sbuild anyway?05:43
TheMusosbuild and schroot that is.05:43
persiaStevenK: Perhaps, but then it might run afoul of the same problem, because some smart person might apply the small, simple, and wrong solution, and not clean up after each build.05:43
LaserJockok, so apparently it's just my gutsy chroot that's messed up05:44
LaserJock:(05:44
StevenKAh.05:44
hendrixskialright.  Enough packaging excitement for one night.  Thanks again.  I'l play with those packages a little more and come back with more questions05:44
LaserJockwell, I mean I can't get into my gutsy chroot05:44
=== TheMuso still wonders what use snapshots are...
persiaTheMuso: I have a master chroot, which only has base, build-essential, and devscripts installed.  Each build is done on a snapshot, so the master schroot is always clean.  Multiple simultaneous builds are possible, without any chance of interference.05:45
TheMusopersia: Ah.05:45
TheMusoWell pbuilder does this in another way. It unpacks a base tarball that goes ina dir named after the pid of the pbuilder process.05:45
hendrixskipersia, what's the difference between schroot and dchroot?05:45
persiaTheMuso: Right.  sbuild on schroot mounts to /var/lib/schroot/mount/long-random-string to do the same thing.05:46
StevenKhendrixski: schroot is a rewrite, and provides all of the functionality and more of dchroot.05:46
persiahendrixski: Nothing any more.  They used to be different, and dchroot is older05:46
TheMusopersia: I think that the random string, is something like an UUID, or something along those lines.05:46
hendrixskiohh... so like a fork?05:47
persiaTheMuso: I think it's the UUID of the snapshot, generated at the time of snapshot creation, but I'm not sure.  It does match the Logical Volume name.05:47
LaserJockhmm, I really don't want to have to recreate this chroot :(05:47
StevenKNot sure if schroot forked dchroot.05:47
TheMusoDchroot depends on schroot.05:48
StevenKLaserJock: I have a local mirror, so building a chroot takes a few minutes. :-)05:48
persiaTheMuso: Now dchroot is just a wrapper.  It used to be it's own program, until schroot took over.05:48
StevenKTheMuso: I does now, yes.05:48
TheMusoRight.05:48
LaserJockyeah, I was irritated about that05:48
persiaLaserJock: Your master chroot is corrupted?05:48
LaserJockbut now it's ok05:48
LaserJockmaster chroot?05:48
LaserJockI just have one chroot for gutsy05:49
LaserJockI don't use snapshots05:49
=== persia apparently incorrectly assumed Laserjock was using LVM
TheMusoSO I guess a snapshot only records the differences between the master and the new changes?05:49
StevenKTheMuso: Exactly.05:49
LaserJockheavens no, LVM does not work well for me05:49
hendrixskioh.  that's interesting.  I just learned how to set up the dchroot (and what  chroot is, which is kind of cool) so it doesn't matter which type I use?05:49
persiahendrixski: I recommend learning schroot instead of dchroot.  The wrapper will eventually go away.05:50
TheMusoStevenK: I wonder if pbuilder would be more efficient if it were to work with lvm snapshots.05:50
TheMusopersia: Really? News to me.05:50
LaserJockI really don't like LVM yet05:50
StevenKTheMuso: I have been too.05:50
StevenKLaserJock: Use a server with it, you'll learn to love it.05:50
=== StevenK has a few Ubuntu servers with LVM around the place here.
LaserJockI just screwed everything up05:51
=== TheMuso is learning lvm now, with noncritical data, so he knows how to handle it when it comes time for his server to be built.
ajmitchLaserJock: why?05:51
LaserJockwell, I don't know if it was me exactly05:51
persiaTheMuso: Why not?  I suspect it'll take about three Debian releases, but someone will probably get tired of maintaining legacy compatibility options.05:51
LaserJocknothing seems to work with LVM05:51
StevenKLaserJock: Such as?05:51
TheMusopersia: Ah right.05:51
hendrixskipersia, oh.  I picked up the dchroot from the Ubuntu packaging guide.  Is there a manual you'd recomend for schroot?05:51
LaserJockany time I install an OS it either wipes my LVM or doesn't know anything about LVM05:51

persiahendrixski: I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SbuildLVMHowto, but it's really sparse, and a little out of date.05:53
=== TheMuso is hoping to gradually move from dchroot to schroot with snapshots.
StevenKLaserJock: I'm happy to talk to you about it if you like.05:53
ajmitchpersia: ask keescook about it then :)05:53
TheMusopersia: Whats that howto missing?05:53
LaserJockStevenK: well, I just don't have a reason for it, tbh05:53
LaserJockmy "server" has only one disk I care about (hda is Windows) and I just have large partitions05:54

persiakeescook: The text on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SbuildLVMHowto is a little out of date (although your script works great).  It's the best place I can find to point people working with sbuild/schroot/LVM, but it feels old.05:56
keescookpersia: yeah, I wasn't sure how to go about updating the page.  It's kinda like "use this script"  :P05:57
hendrixskipersia, hhm.. so I assume dchroot does the stuff with the lvm as part of being a wrapper?05:57
persiakeescook: Also, I think it would be assisted with some troubleshooting data, like the use of lsof and schroot -e to shut down stale schroots that didn't close due to daemons running, etc.05:57
keescookLaserJock: yikes.  schroot should have taken care of all of that for you.  Ah, perhaps you don't have my schroot patches?05:57

persiaSimon80: You need to draft a Rationale to get a sync after DIF.  Most good reasons are fine.06:35

StevenKpersia: You don't need a rationale even after UVF if it's a new Debian upload.06:36
persiaSimon80: Just mention the improvements in debian (debian/changelog update is usually enough) [with the old way of doing things] 06:36
Simon80well, you'd have till new packages freeze universe06:36

=== StevenK made that mistake, and filed a nice, complete UVF exception request for 1.0.0-2 -> 1.0.0-4 and was then told he didn't need an exception.

TheMusoWow. First it was sparc, now ia64 lags behind. :)06:38

persiakeescook: That looks great.  My only confusion is early discussion about gutsy, and lots of examples with feisty.  Thanks a lot.06:58
Simon80in those cases, my script isn't appropriate anyway, it's for backporting06:58
Simon80...so how would I append ~something to the debian release if there is no release number?06:58
Simon80hmm, nevermind, I see existing backports just append to the upstream version07:00
Simon80I should probably put this and the other script I have on a wiki page or something at some point07:03
Simon80I'm using reprepro with a wrapper that adds packages from an incoming directory07:03
Simon80so this script copies the source directory to a temp dir, updates the changelog to add a ~dist1 thing, builds it, dputs it, and then dput runs the wrapper, it goes into the repo07:04
TheMusoah cool.07:05
Simon80dunno how that compares to what other people use for repos, I'm still unsure what others use07:05
TheMusoI guess it depends on how automated/manual you want the repo to be.07:05
Simon80yeah07:05
Simon80well, I mean, if you want a pool, different dists and components07:06
TheMusoSimon80: Does reprepro do that?07:06
Simon80yes07:06
Simon80generates contents files too07:06
TheMusoRight.07:06

persiabeuno: webboard.  Specifically, webboard 0.2.1-0ubuntu3 doesn't work in gutsy.  I applied a patch for 0.2.1-0ubuntu4 which appeared to do the right thing, but it doesn't work either.  I don't really know python, so I'm not sure how to fix it.08:26
beunopersia: lemme download it, what's the bug?08:27

dholbachwho of you would be interested in doing mentoring?08:59
dholbachit'd be nice to have some mentors available once I announce the new mentoring process09:00
Hobbseedepends what it entails09:00
persiadholbach: I'm up for it.09:01
TheMusodholbach: Sure. I am sorta mentoring a couple of people now.09:01
=== TheMuso should read that wiki page, and goes to do so.
dholbachfrom what I experienced until now, people send you a mail saying: "I want to contribute, I love Ubuntu, I've been doing some C++ until now. Where do I get started?"09:01
persiaI've gotten a couple "I see your name in Launchpad.  Can you help me help out?"09:02
dholbachso if you're mentoring somebody it'd be nice if you had some easy tasks for the contributor at hand, some wiki links, if you did some reviews for her/him every now and then and so on09:02
dholbachwe've been quite bad at tracking progress, so the reception would ask back every now and then how it's going09:03
dholbachif you're unsure, better only offer one or two mentoring slots in the beginning and go from there09:03
dholbachthe good thing about the new mentoring process is that we will try this dedicated thing, so people don't have to cope with millions of contributors and take care of them properly09:04
dholbach... let's see how that goes :-)09:04
persiadholbach: Could we submit names of current people?  I'd like to start with some retroactive tracking.09:04
dholbachpersia: sure - just give me the launchpad id09:05
RAOF /msg ubotu automatix09:05
RAOFStupid space key!09:06
dholbachTheMuso, persia: should I add you both with 2 mentoring slots available?09:06
TheMusodholbach: Yes pleae, although these are likely to e taken up by ubuntustudio people, which I would actually prefer.09:06
TheMusoplease09:06
persiadholbach: stijn-polfliet, mrcheatr, and I have one slot free.09:06
dholbachinteresting09:07
dholbachstijn-polfliet mailed me too :)09:07
persiadholbach: Very motivated, but very unfamiliar with Ubuntu.09:07
dholbachTheMuso: do you have LP IDs of the people you mentor already?09:08
nixternalOK, Plucker is now happy...some more tweaking as I would like to get the documentation installed and working as well09:11
nixternalso I need to get libhttp packaged and up'd to Debian, then sync it, then die09:11
persianixternal: Congratulations.  Hurrah!09:11
TheMusodholbach: I don't really mentor anybody from ubuntustudio yet, as they haven't really got back into packaging, but probably AstralJava luisbg09:11
TheMusoare the two I'd start with09:11
nixternalpersia: it actually works quite well now09:11
persianixternal: And I presume it looks nice as well :)09:11
nixternalI have cleaned up debian, recreated an old patch (now there are only 3 patches instead of like 10)09:11
nixternalpersia: making it look nice will be the last thing09:11
dholbachTheMuso: ok, I added them to the list, so your 2 slots are taken09:11
nixternalactually...I am making it look nice little by little09:11
TheMusodholbach: Great, thanks.09:11

nixternaland the need for the silly <http.h> all of a sudden09:20
nixternaloh, that is because 1.9.0 has C++ parser now and not just Python and Perl09:21
persianixternal: Doesn't surprise me.  I've seen a couple dead upstreams that have three or four patches applied from the bugtracker or mailing list, but no plans for release or real work.09:21
nixternalthat's why09:21
nixternalnow the only bug to fix with it is the documentation09:21
nixternalI am close with it, as I just watched it build09:21
nixternalso with libhttp, it will pretty much be a ./configure && make && make install && cp *.h /usr/include09:22
persianixternal: You'll want to check the library packaging guidelines: you need both libhttp# (to match the soname) and libhttp-dev (with .h and -a) binaries built from your source.09:24
nixternalyup09:24
nixternalthat should be a fun one09:24

=== Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #ubuntu-motu
persiaWhat is the best practice if I want to remove all Ubuntu changes from a package that isn't being merged?  Should I just upload a new version and put "fakesync from Debian, dropping Ubuntu changes" in the changelog?  This is for uqm-content, which changes become irrelevant with new contents in uqm pulled from upstream.09:31
dholbachwhy can't you ask for a normal sync?09:31
persiadholbach: The current ubuntu version is higher than the current debian version (and was also in feisty).09:32
dholbachah right - I'd use the debian packaging then and add a higher version number (in a new changelog entry)09:33
persiadholbach: Right.  But is there a standard for the changelog entry, or is the above sufficient?09:33
dholbachsufficient, you could mention that you use the Debian packaging and maybe  debuild -S -v0.0  or something so all the old debian entries appear in the changes file09:34
persiadholbach: OK.  Thanks.  That's a huge changes file (>2K).09:37
dholbachOk, then just a short notice about using the Debian packaging is fine.09:38

dholbachraphink: we all agreed that it might be best to have a few small tasks at hand, which you can walk them through12:20
raphinkdholbach: I don't have a lot of time lately, but when I get requests, I make my best to deal with them12:20
dholbachraphink: so if it's a package update or a simple merge or an easy bug, that's cool12:20
raphinkI currently have 2 or 3o people who have asked me to mentor them12:20
dholbachraphink: if you get to many requests ask them to mail ~motu-mentoring-reception12:20
raphinkbut they haven't really stated what they wnated to be doing 12:20
dholbachraphink: if they don't know what to do, best to give them an easy task12:21

StevenKThat's a Debian revision. :-)02:15
EtienneGok!02:15
StevenKpersia: Yes, sounds right.02:15
EtienneGpersia, is there something to do about it ?02:16
=== persia thinks debuild needs a patch, but more forking is probably bad.
persiaEtienneG: Just always use `debuild -S -sa` when you want to include the orig.tar.gz in your package.  This practice requires more attention than the Debian process, but as long as you make the right decision, it will always work.02:17
ScottKpersia: It's just fine to add Ubuntu specific changes as long as you volunteer to maintain them ... (which is probably bad in your book).02:17
StevenKIt isn't debuild that makes the decision.02:18
StevenKIt's dpkg, and we already fork that.02:18
StevenKMore correctly, dpkg-genchanges.02:19
EtienneGhere it is, re-uploaded with the orig.tar.gz02:19
EtienneGif someone have a minute to look at my bzr-gtk upload, that would be nice02:19
EtienneGright now, bzr is complaining about version mismatch systematically, it is annoying for those using gutsy02:20
persiaScottK: Depends on the package.  I already do that for a couple packages, but some Debian maintainers are happier about forks than others.  I generally don't like to make Ubuntu-specific changes that won't go back for core packages (although I'm likely to make an exception for devscripts anyway, as I want a better /usr/bin/mass-bug).02:20
StevenKEtienneG: Do you have an account with our lovely mentors? One can be yours for the cost of a pizza and a six pack of beer. :-P02:20
EtienneGStevenK, that's certainly affordable enough!02:20
=== StevenK grins.
EtienneGI do not plan to make a lot of upload, it's mainly just bzr-gtk for the moment02:21
persiaEtienneG: Concentration is great.  Some packages need more attention, and someone who knows them well can be very useful, especially for Debian and upstream coordination.02:22

StevenKpersia: Add -v02:43
ScottKWell it doesn't cause an error with dpkg-parsechangelog, so I'll leave it.  Thanks for the advice.02:43
PriceChildpersia, do you think I need to keep the XSBC-Original-Maintainer field in control as I haven't really used any of his packaging?02:44
persiaStevenK: She's still quiet.  Perhaps I'm just not hitting any checks.  I'll hunt the rules.02:44
StevenKpersia: Replace -v with -d02:45
StevenKOh, actually, -vv will have her tell you she is unpacking and such02:45
persiaPriceChild: Ubuntu packages must have XSBC-Original-Maintainer, unless the Maintainer field is a specific person (not a list) with an @ubuntu.com address.  You can set yourself as Original-Maintainer (or Maintainer) if you like.02:46

ScottKIf he'd stuck around, I'd have had a comment for him ...03:25
persiaScottK: I'll take your comment (if it's about the gizmod copyright).03:26
ScottKpersia: I was just going to mention that it's considered a good practice (but not REALLY mandatory) these days to have a line at then end asserting copyright over the Debian packaging and how that packaging is licensed.03:27
persiaScottK: He put that in the middle, as the Apache license was really long.03:27
ScottKpersia: I was also going to suggest he grep -i -R copyright * to make sure he got everything.  03:28
ScottKpersia: OK.  I didn't see that then.  I'd suggest it get moved to the end as that's where I've always seen it.  Probably not worth another upload if the package is otherwise good.03:28
persiaScottK: I think so.  The part I couldn't help him with was about the COPYING in the root directory.  Only a very little bit of the code is actually GPL.03:29
ScottKOK.  I didn't download the whole package to look at that.  The key is to be comprehensive and make sure everything is listed.  If there's a mix of ASF and GPL code you do need to make sure nothing is to closely linked as those licenses are incompatible.03:30
persiaScottK: There are exceptions.  I'm not strong enough with copyright to say it's done, but it needs a deep review by someone who is, as it mixes Apache, GPL, and the FSF Autoconf license.03:33
ScottKOK.  I'm not that person then.03:33
ScottKpersia: You've been a MOTU longer than me, you ought to be able to handle this ;-)03:34

bmmOf, that ignoring the NMU is ok, as long as you define the "Original-Maintainer:" in your control file.03:39

=== illovae [n=illovae@unaffiliated/illovae] has joined #ubuntu-motu
persiabmm: Those are actually two different things.  Even if you forget XSBC-Original-Maintainer, the NMU warnings still appear.  Separately, don't forget XSBC-Original-Maintainer :)03:41
bmm:-D I know, but they are related a bit right? Because NMU is "NonMaintainerUpload" which means that you have a different upload maintainer and original maintainer.03:42
Riddellthat'll happen regardless unless you are the debian maintainer03:43
persiabmm: The NMU warnings happen when the Changed-By value (name & email of last changelog entry) doesn't match the Maintainer value.  It's different.03:43

asimonGreetings, I have a simple package (kde-style-qtcurve) for which I use cdbs. During the build aclocal and automake are called. If I build this package with 'debuild && debuild -S -sa' I get two Makefile.in in the diff.gz. If I build it with pbuilder these Makefile.ins don't appear in the diff.gz. (both gutsy environments) Is this normal behaviour?05:38
dholbachasimon: doesn't upstream provide a tarball where Makefile.in and friends are already generated?05:39
=== rrittenhouse [n=tad@unaffiliated/rrittenhouse] has joined #ubuntu-motu
dholbachI mean... is it really necessary to run aclocal, automake and friends during the build?05:39
asimondholbach: They are generated, but aclocal and automake-1.9 get called by 'make' and thus 2 Makefile.ins get updated.05:39
dholbachweird, did you change the Makefile.am files or something?05:40
asimonThe funny thing is they don't appear in the diff.gz when build with pbuilder although the build process seems exactly the same under pbuilder.05:40
dholbachthat makes perfect sense05:41
asimondholbach: No, I don't do any changes on the Makefiles.*05:41
dholbachdo you build-depends on aclocal and/or automake?05:41
dholbachif not, they should not be in the pbuilder chroot during the build and can't be used05:41
asimondholbach: Yes, I have to build-depend on automake-1.9, otherwise building fails because automake-1.9 isn't found.05:41
vijay2000it works05:41
dholbachvijay2000: great05:42
dholbachasimon: there must be something weird with the tarball like timestamps of Makefile.in vs timestamp of Makefile.am or something05:42
dholbachasimon: if you can't change it without lots of hassle, I'd think it's acceptable to have a diff of Makefile.in05:43
asimondharrigan: Hmm... the timestamp of Makefile.am is older then that of Makefile.in.05:43

dholbachasimon: hm, then it must be something else05:44
asimondholbach: The issue is that I got a comment on revu about 'extra' files in diff.gz (http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=5235). A possible way to remove these Makefile.ins from diff.gz would be to save the original ones before build and restore them later before the diff is generated. But I think that would clutter the rules file in an ugly way.05:44
dholbachI agree with you05:45
dholbachit's something that should be fixed upstream05:45
asimondholbach: Okay, I will mail upstream and the author of the comment about this. Thank you very much.05:46
dholbachwhat you *could* do, is add a patch to debian/patches in which you run aclocal + automake (+ whatever else is needed) yourself05:46

nixternalhighvoltage: what types of issues did you notice get fixed?07:08
highvoltagenixternal: if you opened two OOo attachements in kmail, for example, the second wouldn't open07:11
nixternalahh..cool07:11
highvoltagenixternal: it seemed that kmail just overwrote the first attachment, andOOo didn't like it07:11
nixternalgood deal. maybe I am not using kontact/kmail hard enough07:12
highvoltageit also sometimes crashed when applying large amount of filters. that seems better now.07:12
nixternalin the past year, I bet I can count less than 5 crashes07:12
nixternalhighvoltage: yes, and that is when I noticed my crashes actually07:12
highvoltageI use thunderbird, but for the government work we use Kontact, since it integrates with Kolab07:12
highvoltageThunderbird last crashed on me in 2003 :)07:13
nixternalwhat government do you work for that uses Kontact?07:13
nixternallet along Kolab07:13

highvoltagewe're only starting now, it's exciting and scary, but I love it :)07:14
nixternalthat totally rocks...our government (you know the corrupt arse US one), they still use MS Mail at a majority of their locations07:15
nixternalthe only people who have changed are those who are on the Navy/Marine Corp network. And that is so locked down it is insane07:15

nixternalMS Mail from like 3.107:16
nixternallol07:16
highvoltagewe've had some resistance because of kontact's bugginess, but the kde 3.5.7 version fixes all of that for us, so it's quite cool.07:16
highvoltageaaaaah, THAT MS Mail!!!07:16
ScottKnixternal: The people I work with are all on Exchange/Outlook and hating life.07:16
highvoltageAs in... Microsoft Internet Mail :)07:16
nixternalhaha yes07:16
highvoltageouch07:17
nixternalExchange is nice, if you get someone who can set it up correctly...but all of my jobs pretty much use IMAP now07:17
nixternalonly problem, I have never seen anyone set it up correctly07:17
nixternaland most companies purchase the exchange licenses, and just use the POP3 portions, they don't use any of the funky *sharing07:18
vijay2000laserjock : i am back07:18
ScottKExchange is nice if you have an unlimited hardware budget for the server and you protect it behind a proper MTA so it isn't exposed to the internet...07:19
nixternalI used to maintain and exhcange server or 2 in my day..and lets just say, I never did it right either07:19
highvoltageour problem is not so much with the mail component, but with the calendaring component07:19
nixternalya, calendaring is the big thing these days07:19
highvoltagethere's not much in ubuntu/gnu/linux that does calendaring well07:19
nixternalhighvoltage: how is the calendaring with Kolab?07:19
nixternalI have yet to mess with it07:19
highvoltagenixternal: it's the only thing that works properly07:19
nixternalhehe07:20
ScottKHeh.  With the latest set of TZ changes in the US, all my customers had terrible problems with their Exchange/Outlook, but Kontact and Ubuntu had no problems at all.07:20
nixternalI need to get a decent machine and run a Kolab server here07:20

ScottKdothebart: http://tar.gzipped.org/rfc2739.schema now lacks any mention of licensing.  It needs at least the GPL mention you have in the other one.10:34
dothebartwouldn't that be implicit with the package?10:34
ScottKWhy not mention it and avoid risk of confusion?  This is in a grey area and may or may not be OK in the end.  Why take a chance?10:35
dothebartok, i'll post it over.10:36
ScottKDid you understand my point on libical about the COPYING file OK?10:37

ScottKIdeally when you package something, the only place you should touch in the package is inside the debian dir.10:38
dothebartjust returned from a 64 km ride with the roadbike after riding 20 km home after work ;)10:38
nixternalanyone feel like looking through that and telling me just how involved the debian/rules file would be10:38
nixternalI have everything else already configged...rules is my only problem...more than likely would have to reconfigure Makefile (dpatch/patch)10:39
ScottKIf you have to repack the original tarball, there are rules you have to follow.  Since you are upstream, put the COPYING file in the original tarball.  It'll be easier.10:39
ScottKdothebart: Watch out, excercise is dangerous.10:39
dothebartwell, being upstream i don't need the patches dir as long as my changes go well with the rest of the users.10:40
dothebartok.10:40
dothebarti think there soon will be a .30 of libical available on upstream, and it looks as if evolution is going to use it again instead of their fork.10:41
ScottKOK.  So you are not upstream for libical then?10:41
dothebartwell, i can become with one question to the citadel team leader.10:42
dothebartbut, as long as my changes are reasonable, they won't be questioned.10:42

ScottKOK.  Then I'd ask them to add the COPYING file in their upstream tarball.10:44
