| somerville32 | crimsun, I'm sad to hear you're leaving the community. | 18:04 |
|---|---|---|
| somerville32 | crimsun, Are you going anywhere specific? | 18:05 |
| crimsun | ok, carried over from #ubuntu-motu, we'll be looking at paman in hardy | 18:05 |
| crimsun | this source package update is pretty straightforward, but I'll summarise the background. | 18:05 |
| crimsun | for hardy, we currently have a mess in the Applications>Sound & Video menu ala http://trilug.org/~crimsun/Screenshot.png | 18:06 |
| crimsun | the intent is to unclutter the menus similar to how the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MenusRevisited spec was implemented. | 18:07 |
| crimsun | so, to start, we make sure our apt source is current for hardy, and then we grab the paman source package from hardy. | 18:07 |
| crimsun | `apt-get source paman` | 18:08 |
| crimsun | please note the version, 0.9.4-1 | 18:08 |
| crimsun | the "upstream" version is 0.9.4, and the Debian source packaging revision is 1 (the hyphen is a separator). | 18:09 |
| crimsun | the version, 0.9.4-1, implies that this source package in Ubuntu hardy was synced directly from Debian without any changes. | 18:09 |
| crimsun | since we'll be amending the source package, we'll be sure to note that in the version string by appending "ubuntu1" after the Debian source packaging revision (1). | 18:10 |
| crimsun | the final version for our Ubuntu-modified source package will be 0.9.4-1ubuntu1. | 18:10 |
| crimsun | Luckily, the devscripts package (`apt-get install devscripts`) contains a 'dch' utility to make working with these versions easier. | 18:11 |
| crimsun | so, now, we'll begin editing our changelog | 18:11 |
| crimsun | `cd paman-0.9.4` | 18:12 |
| crimsun | the next thing we'll do is use the 'dch' utility to bump the version. | 18:12 |
| crimsun | `dch -i` | 18:12 |
| crimsun | note how the correct version and distribution release are inserted automatically at the top. | 18:12 |
| crimsun | paman (0.9.4-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low | 18:12 |
| crimsun | I'll now outline the three things we need to do; | 18:13 |
| crimsun | 1) change the maintainer field ala https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField | 18:13 |
| crimsun | 2) create a patch to hide the menu item for paman | 18:13 |
| crimsun | 3) adjust the package control fields to work appropriately with our new MenusRevisited scheme | 18:14 |
| crimsun | --- Step 1 --- | 18:14 |
| crimsun | since you're now editing debian/changelog, make an entry to note that, e.g., * Packaging: maintainer field mangling | 18:15 |
| crimsun | save, then exit the editor you're using | 18:16 |
| crimsun | now the file that we'll be editing in step 1 is debian/control | 18:16 |
| crimsun | use an editor with that file, and scroll down to the fourth line | 18:17 |
| crimsun | "Maintainer: CJ van den Berg <cj@vdbonline.com>" | 18:17 |
| crimsun | we'll need to change that to "Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>" | 18:17 |
| crimsun | next, we retain the original maintainer information by inserting a line below our new one: "XSBC-Original-Maintainer: CJ van den Berg <cj@vdbonline.com>" | 18:18 |
| crimsun | I'm now going to skip ahead to Step 3, since in that step, we edit the same file (debian/control) | 18:19 |
| crimsun | --- Step 3 --- | 18:19 |
| crimsun | remember that one of the main points of this source package adjustment is to have the appropriate binary packages hinted | 18:20 |
| crimsun | thus, we need to add several binary package names to Recommends for paman | 18:20 |
| crimsun | in the "Package: paman" section, please see the Recommends control field | 18:21 |
| crimsun | currently paman only recommends pavumeter. We want to amend that to recommend pavucontrol and padevchooser as well | 18:21 |
| crimsun | "Recommends: pavumeter, pavucontrol, padevchooser" | 18:22 |
| crimsun | now, we've finished editing debian/control, and thus, we've finished Steps 1 & 3. | 18:22 |
| crimsun | --- Step 2 --- | 18:22 |
| crimsun | now we'll use a handy utility called cdbs-edit-patch to simplify creating a patch for the menu item | 18:23 |
| crimsun | when we list the contents of the patch directory (`ls debian/patches`), we see there's already one patch | 18:24 |
| crimsun | next, we check if that one patch is applied (`cat debian/patches/series`) | 18:24 |
| crimsun | we see that it is. | 18:25 |
| crimsun | now we'll create a patch that applies on top of that existing one. | 18:25 |
| crimsun | we'll name our new patch descriptively, say, 0050-MenusRevisited.patch | 18:26 |
| crimsun | we accomplish this with: | 18:26 |
| crimsun | `cdbs-edit-patch 0050-MenusRevisited` | 18:26 |
| crimsun | now, the appropriate line we'll add is "NoDisplay=true" | 18:27 |
| crimsun | we'll make this change in the shipped desktop file, src/paman.desktop | 18:27 |
| crimsun | simply appending that new line to the file is sufficient | 18:28 |
| crimsun | lookee there, a spelling error that we can correct in the Comment field | 18:28 |
| crimsun | (I changed mine to "Comment=Manage your PulseAudio sound server") | 18:28 |
| crimsun | that's all the edits we need to make to that desktop file | 18:29 |
| crimsun | save, then exit the editor | 18:29 |
| somerville32 | I get dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: quilt autotools-dev libpulse-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libglademm-2.4-dev lynx asciidoc xmlt when I attempt to use cdbs-edit-patch | 18:29 |
| crimsun | somerville32: in that case, you need `apt-get build-dep paman` | 18:30 |
| somerville32 | crimsun, installing quilt seemed to correct the issue | 18:32 |
| crimsun | (right, that's sufficient for the problem at hand. I'm being a bit more verbose to cover, for posterity/logs, what people may need without an sbuild or pbuilder) | 18:33 |
| * somerville32 nods. | 18:34 | |
| crimsun | at this point, we've edited src/paman.desktop, so we need to preserve our changes in 0050-MenusRevisited.patch | 18:36 |
| crimsun | that's pretty straightforward: we exit by using `exit` | 18:36 |
| crimsun | we're now back in the original directory, and we've a shiny new debian/patches/0050-MenusRevisited.patch | 18:37 |
| crimsun | next, we need to append that filename to debian/patches/series so that it's applied | 18:37 |
| crimsun | `echo 0050-MenusRevisited.patch>>debian/patches/series` | 18:38 |
| crimsun | and now, we summarise our changes by editing debian/changelog | 18:38 |
| crimsun | "* Patches: Apply (new) patch to mask menu item ala MenusRevisited." | 18:39 |
| crimsun | the next-to-last step will be to regenerate the source package: | 18:40 |
| crimsun | `debuild -S -uc -us` | 18:40 |
| crimsun | finally, we'll generate a debdiff that we can attach to a bug report filed, using Launchpad, against the paman source package | 18:42 |
| crimsun | `cd ..` | 18:42 |
| crimsun | `debdiff paman_0.9.4-1.dsc paman_0.9.4-1ubuntu1.dsc paman_0.9.4-1ubuntu1.debdiff` | 18:42 |
| crimsun | err, sorry, that last command should be: | 18:43 |
| crimsun | `debdiff paman_0.9.4-1.dsc paman_0.9.4-1ubuntu1.dsc > paman_0.9.4-1ubuntu1.debdiff` | 18:43 |
| crimsun | and we've finished! | 18:44 |
| somerville32 | crimsun, Should we update the standards version? | 18:49 |
| crimsun | if you wish to verify that 3.7.3 is adhered to and then update it in debian/control, sure. I didn't, because I didn't verify. | 18:49 |
| somerville32 | Okay | 18:52 |
| somerville32 | I shall | 18:52 |
| crimsun | -> -motu | 18:56 |
