rexbron | where would be the appropreate place to document this sort of decision? | 00:01 |
---|---|---|
rexbron | (that last question is open to all) | 00:02 |
LaserJock | rexbron: probably first ubuntu-motu/ubuntu-devel ML | 00:03 |
rexbron | LaserJock, this package is not in the repos yet, but I will do so | 00:03 |
persia | rexbron: I'm not really here, but my concern is that while openlibraries uses rpath entirely internally within itself, open libraries is intended to be used for building other applications, and I'm not convinced that there won't be odd follow-on behaviour once other packages dynamically load the libraries, possibly with RPATH set, nor am I sure those packages won't run against policy. I may be completely mistaken, and expect your research to hav | 00:08 |
rexbron | ouch buffered | 00:10 |
rexbron | I would think that any libraries that use openlibs would not use rparth, hense preserving upgrade sanity | 00:11 |
* rexbron will definately take it to the ML | 00:11 | |
RAOF | rexbron: But if the openlibraries itself uses rpath, then anything using it... | 00:20 |
rexbron | RAOF, if only internally? | 00:21 |
RAOF | rexbron: But the OL libraries are installed into a non-ld-config-known path, right? Anything linking against them will need to do annoying stuff. | 00:22 |
rexbron | Basically, openlibraries is a collection (five main ones, with in each there is a C++ lib and a python binding) and a bunch of compiled plugins for those libs | 00:22 |
rexbron | RAOF, by nonstandard I mean /usr/lib/openlibraries-<foo> | 00:23 |
rexbron | which is how upstream is installing it | 00:23 |
RAOF | Ok. So the libraries themselves are in /usr/lib, and the plugins are in /usr/lib/openlibraries type thing? | 00:23 |
rexbron | no, | 00:23 |
rexbron | currently everything is in /usr/lib/openlibraries-0.5.0 | 00:23 |
RAOF | That sounds like a really annoying idea. | 00:24 |
rexbron | RAOF, I was striping the rpath out of the libs that had it (not all of them do) | 00:24 |
rexbron | but that completely broke the python bindings | 00:24 |
rexbron | due to the non-standard location | 00:24 |
rexbron | it is possible though that I mangle it in the .install files | 00:25 |
RAOF | This non-standard location isn't build-time configurable? | 00:25 |
rexbron | afaict, no | 00:25 |
rexbron | beyond a prefix | 00:25 |
RAOF | rexbron: For details of why installing libraries in /usr/lib/foo is really annoying, see *anything* which embeds gecko. | 00:25 |
rexbron | :P | 00:25 |
RAOF | That's annoying. | 00:25 |
RAOF | Whine upstream :P | 00:26 |
crimsun | nenolod: pong | 00:26 |
crimsun | RAOF: pong | 00:26 |
rexbron | RAOF, upstream just revived itself | 00:26 |
rexbron | RAOF, it might have to do with the devs being Mac and Windows peps | 00:26 |
RAOF | crimsun: Hi. Trying to hack in multiarch _sucks_ :( | 00:27 |
crimsun | heh, it's nice and comfy down here in hell, isn't it? | 00:27 |
rexbron | I wonder if I strip rpath and install everything to /usr/lib if the problems would allivate themselves | 00:27 |
RAOF | rexbron: Worth a try :) | 00:28 |
rexbron | I am unsure if ld.so.conf is getting updated by debhelper... | 00:28 |
RAOF | crimsun: My final problem is trying to make the bi-arch build not build plugins that it can't, but pkg-config thinks it can. | 00:29 |
rexbron | RAOF, the dir structure is like this: usr/lib/openlibraries-0.5.0/openeffectslib/plugins/ | 00:30 |
rexbron | or usr/lib/openlibraries-0.5.0/openeffectslib/lib | 00:30 |
RAOF | rexbron: Hit upstream with a big "what the hell are you doing" stick. | 00:31 |
rexbron | "Bash upstream with the libtool handbook.." | 00:31 |
RAOF | It makes sense to have the plugins in /usr/lib/<my_plugin_dir>, but that looks mad. | 00:32 |
crimsun | RAOF: did you mean to follow up that last one? | 00:37 |
RAOF | crimsun: By "last one" did you mean the "stopping it building the plugins it can't, but pkg-config makes it think it can"? | 00:48 |
crimsun | RAOF: yes | 00:48 |
RAOF | Ah. | 00:48 |
RAOF | I can explain the problem: configure checks pkg-config for libpulse, jack, ald dbus-1, and sets "HAVE_foo". | 00:49 |
RAOF | However, pkg-config is returning results for the native bitness libraries. So it tries to build all of these plugins. | 00:50 |
RAOF | I can partially work around this by telling pkg-config to look in /usr/lib$)bi)/pkgconfig (which is empty) and manually specifying the right libs & cflags. | 00:51 |
RAOF | That builds the basic plugins, with no external dependencies. However, since they use a [if found] and a [if not found] custom action for their PKG_CHECK_MODULE configure calls, libpulse & dbus-1 (which exist in ia32-libs) don't get built. | 00:52 |
kdub | anyone have program that needs packaging that they've been saving for a newbie :-)? | 00:53 |
RAOF | crimsun: Given that what *I* want out of lib32asound2-plugins is a 32bit pulse plugin, this isn't very useful behaviour for me :( | 00:53 |
RAOF | crimsun: Any ideas? | 00:53 |
crimsun | RAOF: do your basic debian/rules modifications follow alsa-lib's? | 00:55 |
RAOF | crimsun: Yes, they do. I can post them, if you like. | 00:56 |
crimsun | sure, though my attention is diverted to a PA security issue ATM, so I'll be slow in responding. | 00:57 |
RAOF | crimsun: That's fine. It's at http://www.cooperteam.net/rules | 00:58 |
LaserJock | anybody know how to tell tracker what to index? | 01:11 |
_MMA_ | LaserJock: Isnt there a place where to tell it what *not* to index? | 01:13 |
LaserJock | bah | 01:13 |
LaserJock | I killed it | 01:13 |
LaserJock | I want it to index my pdfs | 01:13 |
StevenK | That isn't hard | 01:13 |
LaserJock | and it doesn't seem to do it | 01:13 |
LaserJock | does it not index .pdf files? | 01:13 |
* _MMA_ only thought there was a blacklist. | 01:13 | |
ScottK | LaserJock: It'll index your ISO images too. | 01:13 |
LaserJock | ScottK: hah, that's smart | 01:14 |
LaserJock | I saw it also indexes vmware images | 01:14 |
_MMA_ | :) | 01:14 |
LaserJock | but they're gonna blacklist that | 01:14 |
LaserJock | so far the only thing I found it *can* do is index my email | 01:14 |
ScottK | Well I think Tracker is one of the best advertisements Kubuntu has has in a long time. | 01:14 |
LaserJock | which I can already do from evo | 01:15 |
LaserJock | ScottK: you use strigi? | 01:15 |
ScottK | LaserJock: Actually not, but I understand it's better behaved. | 01:15 |
ScottK | My main desktop (where it'd be useful) is still Dapper. | 01:15 |
LaserJock | I know there's been some cool work with strigi and chemistry indexing | 01:16 |
nenolod | crimsun, would ALSA plugin chains cause problems with DMA writes in libalsa? | 01:18 |
ScottK | LaserJock: BTW, so far so good the mass clamav backport. Thanks again. | 01:18 |
LaserJock | ScottK: great | 01:19 |
crimsun | nenolod: quite probably, particularly if dmix and/or dsnoop are in the mix. | 01:21 |
LaserJock | bah, I give up >:( | 01:26 |
emgent | heya people | 01:28 |
bddebian | Heya gang | 01:50 |
bddebian | ScottK: I think you have been hanging around Debian too much already.. ;-P | 02:38 |
ScottK2 | bddebian: Not yet. I didn't curse at you. | 02:44 |
nenolod | crimsun, fantastic. thanks (: | 02:52 |
bddebian | ScottK2: Heh, touche :-) | 02:55 |
* emgent night. | 03:37 | |
bddebian | ScottK2: Wanna help with a bug instead? :-) | 03:37 |
ScottK2 | What bug? | 03:38 |
bddebian | testresources FTBFS | 03:38 |
ScottK2 | And? | 03:39 |
bddebian | And I don't know how to fix it :-) | 03:39 |
ScottK2 | Point me at a build log? | 03:40 |
LucidFox | I read that as "testosterone FTBFS" :/ | 03:40 |
bddebian | ScottK2: http://paste.debian.net/47576 | 03:41 |
bddebian | LucidFox: :) | 03:41 |
ScottK2 | bddebian: Is the the Debian package or the Ubuntu one? | 03:43 |
bddebian | I just updated the debian one so they are pretty similar but same issue | 03:44 |
ScottK2 | I'll have a look. | 03:45 |
bddebian | You ROCK :) | 03:46 |
bddebian | I need to improve my python.. :-( | 03:46 |
bddebian | Well, and everything else.. :) | 03:47 |
RAOF | Cue bddebian suckage rant? | 03:47 |
RAOF | :) | 03:47 |
bddebian | Yeah, he does suck doesn't he.. | 03:50 |
ScottK2 | Well the ubuntu package doesn't even get that far right now. | 03:51 |
bddebian | Ah, I used python support | 03:52 |
ScottK2 | doko would kill me if I changed it in Ubuntu. | 03:53 |
bddebian | heh | 03:53 |
ScottK2 | bddebian: I got it to build in Ubuntu. | 04:01 |
ScottK2 | I made two changes. I'm not sure which it was. Testing. | 04:01 |
bddebian | What did you change... Oh :) | 04:01 |
ScottK2 | The problem in Ubuntu was that python2.4 wasn't present | 04:04 |
ScottK2 | So I changed python-dev to python-all-dev | 04:04 |
ScottK2 | Also moved it from build-dep-indep to build-dep since it's needed in clean according to Lintian. | 04:04 |
ScottK2 | So it'll build now and the current Ubuntu package that hasn't been built since python2.4 was default (I think) will now built. | 04:05 |
ScottK2 | built/build | 04:05 |
bddebian | Hmm I have both of those.. weird | 04:06 |
bddebian | Do you have a sid pbuilder? | 04:06 |
ScottK2 | I do. | 04:07 |
ScottK2 | I just uploaded to Ubuntu so it'll at least build. | 04:08 |
ScottK2 | I've got to run here in a minute. | 04:08 |
ScottK2 | I kicked off my sid pbuilder and we'll see what happens | 04:08 |
bddebian | OK, thanks | 04:08 |
ScottK2 | bddebian: Builds fine in my sid pbuilder. Feel free to steal it for Debian. ;-) | 04:10 |
ScottK2 | It could use more work. Lintian is happier, but not satisfied. | 04:11 |
bddebian | Grr, wtf | 04:11 |
tonyyarusso | Hey, would anyone be willing to throw together a _very_ simple package for me? My personal life has taken a turn for the insane and I'm becoming unsure of whether I can get it done before freeze, although an experienced person could probably do it in a matter of minutes. | 04:22 |
ScottK | I just fixed bddebian's bug for him, so he's got free time. | 04:23 |
bddebian | I find it hard to believe that it's actually fixed with that :) | 04:24 |
bddebian | tonyyarusso: What/where is it? | 04:24 |
tonyyarusso | It has been proposed that a package with the name of 'nvu' be added to the Hardy repos in the same vein as the 'mozilla-thunderbird' package, just as a transitionary package depending on 'kompozer' (already in the archives), so that Dapper users have a clean LTS->LTS upgrade path. | 04:24 |
tonyyarusso | bddebian: ^ | 04:24 |
ScottK2 | tonyyarusso: Make it an additional binary package of your kompozer package. Not a whole new package. | 04:24 |
bddebian | Aye, can't you even just make it Provides: ? | 04:25 |
tonyyarusso | ScottK2: That makes sense... | 04:25 |
tonyyarusso | bddebian: I'm not sure? Probably? | 04:25 |
ScottK2 | bddebian: We'll see. | 04:25 |
tonyyarusso | bddebian: So I just add a Provides: line much like Depends:, and if a user has nvu installed on Dapper, and upgrades to Hardy, they'll get the new kompozer package installed? | 04:26 |
StevenK | You could just ask mvo to add an hint to update-manager | 04:26 |
tonyyarusso | a hint? | 04:27 |
* tonyyarusso looks for documentation on Provides | 04:27 | |
bddebian | tonyyarusso: Should. You might also need a conflicts/replaces if you do that?? | 04:27 |
RAOF | tonyyarusso, bddebian: Does provides: work properly accross package renames & upgrades? I remember being asked to provide a proper package for Miro. | 04:27 |
bddebian | RAOF: It may not | 04:27 |
StevenK | tonyyarusso: I'd suggest asking pitti when he turns up | 04:27 |
bddebian | ScottK2: Can you throw a source package up somewhere or are you leaving? | 04:28 |
tonyyarusso | "For some types of packages where there are multiple alternatives virtual names have been defined. You can get the full list in the /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/virtual-package-names-list.txt.gz file. Use this if your program provides a function of an existing virtual package." | 04:28 |
StevenK | tonyyarusso: Ignore that | 04:28 |
tonyyarusso | StevenK: heh, all right. Didn't know what it meant anyway! | 04:28 |
* Hobbsee would just use conflicts and replaces nvu | 04:28 | |
StevenK | It has no reason to Conflict | 04:29 |
tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: I know that would properly replace nvu if they did it manually, but I'm confused about upgrade-specific behavior. | 04:29 |
StevenK | Replaces and Provides, sure. | 04:29 |
Hobbsee | StevenK: ah right, is that it. | 04:29 |
Hobbsee | StevenK: assuming none of the files wer ethe same | 04:29 |
StevenK | Wait, no reason to Replaces either | 04:30 |
tonyyarusso | It is possible to have both packages installed simultaneously. It would just be a tad silly, and not what an upgrader would expect. | 04:30 |
tonyyarusso | AFAIK they have different paths for all files. | 04:31 |
StevenK | I think this should documented | 04:31 |
StevenK | Sigh | 04:31 |
tonyyarusso | I think I need a clone. | 04:31 |
tonyyarusso | (Full time student and managed to find myself doing three jobs too - stupid, but they're good jobs, so hey - just a wee bit busy between now and June) | 04:32 |
tonyyarusso | So pitti or mvo eh? I forget; what times are they usually around? | 04:33 |
ScottK | tonyyarusso: European work day. | 04:34 |
tonyyarusso | ScottK: 'k | 04:34 |
bddebian | Damn Europeons | 04:34 |
* bddebian ducks | 04:34 | |
ScottK | tonyyarusso: Any chance you could look into making the publish function work with SFTP and not just FTP. | 04:35 |
ScottK | That's be really handy. | 04:35 |
tonyyarusso | ScottK: Make it work, no. Mention the desire to the guy who could, yes. (I just put it in the archives; someone else wrote the code.) | 04:35 |
tonyyarusso | ScottK: Meanwhile, you wanna add scp as an option to sbackup? :P | 04:36 |
tonyyarusso | (Just while we're talking about transfer methods in random packages on our wishlist) | 04:36 |
ScottK2 | tonyyarusso: Mentioning would be great. | 04:36 |
tonyyarusso | ScottK2: on the todo list | 04:37 |
ScottK2 | Great. | 04:38 |
ScottK | Good night all. | 04:40 |
bddebian | Gnight ScottK, thanks for looking at that | 04:40 |
bddebian | Even if it does fail on sid for me... ;-) | 04:42 |

Aloha | how do i build tarballs to create source packages from? like a source package to install wallpapers | 07:32 |
=== bigon` is now known as bigon | ||
RAOF | Aloha: By taking a directory with all the stuff you want in it and going "tar czvf wallpapers_0.1.orig.tar.gz" | 07:41 |
Aloha | RAOF, i want to make a bonary package though | 07:41 |
Aloha | binary | 07:41 |
RAOF | Which will be built from a source package, which will start with a .orig.tar.gz? | 07:42 |
Aloha | RAOF, how do i get it to install the files? | 07:43 |
RAOF | Any way you like. dh_install is probably a good way. | 07:43 |
* Aloha needs to grok dh_install | 07:44 | |
RAOF | It's pretty easy; you have a 2 column list. The first column is the file you want to work on, the second is where it should go. | 07:45 |
Aloha | RAOF, then i put dh_install in debian/rules? | 07:46 |
RAOF | Yup. Probably in the install-indep target. | 07:46 |
* Aloha needs to grok install-indep | 07:46 | |
Aloha | RAOF, thnx for the help | 07:46 |
RAOF | Heh. debian/rules is just a makefile with a bunch of specified targets :) | 07:47 |
Aloha | gotcha | 07:47 |
RAOF | It helps to have a basic understanding of Makefile syntax. Which is also pretty easy :). | 07:47 |
* Aloha needs to grok Makefile ;) | 07:47 | |
Aloha | only Makefile work I usually do is typing make heh | 07:48 |
=== \sh_away is now known as \sh | ||
Aloha | what targets does the installer call in the Makefile when the package is installed? | 07:55 |
RAOF | Aloha: You'd want to check Debian policy; there's a list of all the targets there. | 08:05 |
Aloha | RAOF, thnx | 08:05 |
RAOF | In particular: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianrules | 08:05 |
Aloha | RAOF, whats the advantage of using dh_install over a simple cp? | 08:07 |
RAOF | It's more debianic, for a start. | 08:08 |
RAOF | If you weren't going to use dh_install you'd probably want to use install anyway, so you can control the permissions, for a start. | 08:09 |
RAOF | And if you're installing a bunch of wallpapers it can be more obvious to have them listed in debian/foo.install rather than having a bunch of cp lines. | 08:09 |
Aloha | RAOF, gotcha, how does dh_install how which .install file to look in? | 08:10 |
Aloha | or do i dh_install file.install? | 08:10 |
RAOF | It either looks for debian/install, or debian/<packagename>.install | 08:10 |
RAOF | This is common behaviour for debhelper programs | 08:11 |
Aloha | where dh_name looks for debian/name? | 08:11 |
RAOF | Or debian/<packagename>.name, yes. | 08:12 |

slytherin | Can anyone please review this debdiff before I actually attach it to a bug. http://paste.ubuntu.com/3827/ | 11:01 |
persia | slytherin: What level of review do you seek? | 11:02 |
man-di | slytherin: BTW: have you had time to look into that axis bug? | 11:03 |
slytherin | persia: I was not sure how to set a variable's value with command substitution in rules file and then use that variable. So I have used command substitution twice where needed. | 11:04 |
slytherin | man-di: Nope. Couldn't find what exactly the reason was. I will have to take a detailed look in the error. | 11:05 |
man-di | slytherin: from what I saw the bug was filed because GCJ ICEd on building | 11:05 |
persia | slytherin: At a base level, I think you want $(shell <command>) rather than `<command>` in a makefile, and I don't believe in minor standard version bumps when updating Debian packages: this is only worthwhile if you get the ancient-standards-version report, and feel like cleaning all the cruft. 3.7.2 -> 3.7.3 just adds noise to the patch and confuses MoM. | 11:06 |
man-di | slytherin: when you can build the package that is fixed already | 11:06 |
slytherin | man-di: I will try today | 11:06 |
persia | slytherin: For setting a variable, just use $(shell ...). Whether to use = or := depends on whether the result changes during the interpretation. | 11:06 |
man-di | slytherin: thanks, I think that bug can just get closed | 11:07 |
slytherin | persia: Ok. Will remove version bump. And also use $(shell command). But then how to use that variable? $(var)? | 11:07 |
persia | slytherin: OK. Assuming you want to set the variable once at parse time (to avoid multiple calls), you'd use MY_VAR := $(shell <shell command>). You can also use curly braces if you find that less confusing. | 11:09 |
slytherin | persia: Done that. And then how to use that variable where the value needs to be substituted? | 11:09 |
persia | Then, you can use $(MY_VAR) later in the makefile to call it. If you use :=, be sure to define before using. If you use =, it is less strict (but produces multiple calls). | 11:10 |
persia | slytherin: Sorry. I'm not the fastest typist :) | 11:10 |
slytherin | persia: oops, sorry. I thought you didn't understand my question | 11:10 |
\sh | soren, any clue why bochs ftbfs at configure stage with checking for default gui on this platform... x11 | 11:12 |
\sh | ERROR: X windows gui was selected, but X windows libraries were not found. | 11:12 |
persia | slytherin: I just tend to be wordy, and there's this annoying 256 character limit imposed by freenode that often keeps me from using paragraphs properly. | 11:13 |
persia | (or maybe it's 255 characters: I never actually counted) | 11:13 |
slytherin | persia: By the way, I am not sure if the patch actually fixed the bug. It just installed extension at proper place. I have not actually tried the package to check if there are any ABI compatibility problems. | 11:14 |
persia | slytherin: Good to test things before uploading :) Also, please shift to $(shell). Using escape characters to convince make to run shell scripts is less than ideal. | 11:15 |
slytherin | persia: Do you have hardy running at this point of time? I am in office and can't test the package. :-( | 11:15 |
warp10 | I was looking at http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dialign-t-doc.html . This package is not in Ubuntu and I would like to request a sync. It is in non-free, but I don't understand why, since it is under LGPL. Any idea? | 11:16 |

* DaveMorris asks persia nicely if he'd have time to review his OpenSG package again some time soon | 11:23 | |
persia | DaveMorris: I'll start a build overnight, and try to take a look tomorrow. Has nobody else reviewed it? | 11:24 |
DaveMorris | no | 11:25 |
DaveMorris | people tend to pick the smaller packages | 11:25 |
* persia encourages someone else to review opensg, as only one reviewer doesn't tend to make the best quality package | 11:25 | |
norsetto | warp10: I didn't check it but it could [build-]depend on something in non-free | 11:27 |
persia | DaveMorris: You've not the biggest. Take a look at the urbanterror candidate :) | 11:27 |
soren | \sh: Just a wild guess: Because you don't have x11 development packages installed? | 11:27 |
DaveMorris | persia: that looks like it has a sane build system though :) | 11:28 |
\sh | soren, libx11-dev is in b-d :) | 11:28 |
warp10 | norsetto: I checked it before asking here: it just build-depends on debhelper, depends on ${misc:Depends} and suggests dialign-t (in main and universe). | 11:28 |
\sh | soren, well, it's the new debian upstream package...where your changes are applied :) | 11:28 |
soren | \sh: Ah, nice. | 11:29 |
\sh | soren, but the problem occured now.. | 11:30 |
* soren is looking | 11:30 | |
\sh | soren, cool thx | 11:31 |
persia | warp10: I'd guess it's considered non-free because there doesn't appear to be any source file for the PDF/ps/html docs. Just a wild guess, though. | 11:32 |

soren | \sh: Are you on amd64 or i386? | 11:33 |
warp10 | persia: mmm... maybe that's the issue. I'll try to contact the maintainer, he should know about that | 11:33 |
* soren high-fives dholbach | 11:33 | |
\sh | soren, amd64 | 11:34 |
soren | \sh: Me too. | 11:34 |
persia | warp10: Check the changelog. I suspect that it would make sense to drop the package, and restore the upstream tarball in dialign-t, rather than just moving to universe. Of course, this is only worthwhile if you plan to maintain the fork. If you just want to be a user, bests to leave in multiverse. | 11:35 |
\sh | soren, oh fun...what could that be | 11:35 |
dholbach | soren: what about? :) | 11:35 |

soren | Well, my chroots are. | 11:36 |
soren | Dear TeX-maintainers. Please use triggers. kthxbye | 11:37 |
warp10 | persia: well, I don't like to increase our delta with debian, but that could be a good idea, since I am greatly interested in having that package in good shape in Ubuntu. | 11:38 |
\sh | soren, update ;) | 11:38 |
soren | It's running, it's running, I've just got... erm... let's just say "a few" schroots. | 11:39 |
\sh | soren, are you using local archive mirrors, just as I do? | 11:39 |
soren | \sh: apt-cacher | 11:40 |
persia | warp10: Keeping close to Debian is largely a way to reduce the amount of work that MOTU needs to do. If you want to commit coordination for that package, you might split it. On the other hand, I don't think we allow non-built-from-source docs in universe either: check with an archive admin. | 11:40 |
soren | \sh: rebuilding with fresh chroot. | 11:41 |
\sh | ah | 11:42 |
\sh | well libx11-dev should be enough for with-x11 | 11:43 |
warp10 | persia: I'll surely do that, but I would like to ask to debian first, maybe there are additional reasons for putting that package in non-free. | 11:44 |
soren | \sh: It still builds fine here. | 11:44 |
\sh | hmmm | 11:45 |

\sh | persia, I like infinities idea... | 12:23 |
persia | \sh: You might want to also hit openbios then, as the person who was chasing that issue is no longer encouraged to follow up... | 12:24 |
* norsetto --> lunch | 12:25 | |
\sh | persia, it means to introduce more packages | 12:27 |
persia | \sh: Only has to be a binary package: you can leverage the existing source package. As they are mostly dummy packages, not so much pain, no? | 12:28 |
persia | Of course, how one gets an arch-all package to build-dep on a package only built on an architecture different than that of the buildd is a more interesting question... | 12:28 |
\sh | persia, actually right now I'm trying to understand what it involves to get this hack ready ;) | 12:29 |
\sh | persia, infinity mentions to use another (new) source package which build-dep on the resulted binary arch dep package | 12:30 |
persia | \sh: Worst case you can do something like ia32-libs, but that's non-ideal. | 12:30 |
persia | \sh: Oh right. I managed to ignore the fact that packages build-depending on themselves was bad :) | 12:30 |
\sh | persia, na...what adam means is this: Package: -sparcbios Arch: sparc ... build the package on the needed archs...and introduce a new source package which generates an arch:all package . the Arch:all can actually only be generated on the sparc arch because of the build-dep on the arch dep bianry package | 12:32 |
\sh | now I need some crack | 12:32 |
persia | \sh: That doesn't solve the problem. The arch:all package needs to be able to be generated on an arbitraty arch, or else it still needs handholding. | 12:32 |
persia | I suspect that's the same sort of issue you're encountering with bochsbios, that you're not using the same architecture for building the arch:all package as Soyuz, but that shouldn't break the build. | 12:33 |
\sh | persia, so how can a i386 buildd include a _sparc.deb | 12:33 |
persia | \sh: Without internet access? That's the hackish bit... | 12:33 |
persia | ia32-libs chose to do this with internet access at packaging time, but I'm not convinced that's really a source package. I don't know the right solution. | 12:34 |
\sh | persia, I mean more, that the i386 arch needs to overwrite the behaviour apt of pulling in .deb packages for the build arch | 12:34 |
persia | \sh: That's not so hard. The hard part is getting the sparc apt-cache on i386. | 12:35 |
\sh | persia, that's what I mean...or you switch for this special occasion the -A switch of sbuild on ;) | 12:35 |
persia | You might check in #launchpad to see what "no internet access" really means. There might be a way to access an archive via the network, even if not the normal archive. You could try archive.ubuntu.com, and if that failed, fall back to the internal archive. | 12:36 |
\sh | persia, and let the sparc buildd create the Arch: all package at all...it means just cp the binary of _sparc.deb build-dep to the Arch: all package | 12:36 |
persia | \sh: That's significantly less trivial within wanna-build, and I suspect even more so within Soyuz. | 12:36 |
pochu | Hobbsee: will you write something regarding your MC application? | 12:36 |
Hobbsee | pochu: probably, when i get inspired. if getting inspired doesn't become before the end of the voting, then no :P | 12:37 |
* persia suspects Hobbsee of having a secret alien agenda, which is hard to describe in mere human languages | 12:37 | |
\sh | persia, I think I'll talk to adam because he knows a lot about his buildd ... well I could also ask lamont... | 12:38 |
Hobbsee | persia: or involving a lot of beeping | 12:39 |

\sh | soren, because right now, the package will FTBFS on all other archs then i386 | 13:33 |
soren | \sh: I've been thinking about doing something along those lines for openhackware, but why for bochs? We build arch-all packages on i386 anyway | 13:33 |
soren | \sh: No. | 13:34 |
soren | \sh: binary-indep will fail. That's fine. | 13:34 |
soren | \sh: Well, it would be better if it didn't, but make your proposed change doesn't fix anything for anyone | 13:34 |

persia | soren: There's the hackish source-in-binary used by e.g. palo or ia32-libs.

Maybe Soyuz could grow a special arch-hint file for packages that need be built on specific architectures. Nothing clean. | 13:39 |

soren | slangasek: What question are you answering? | 13:40 |
persia | s/source-in-binary/binary-in-source/ | 13:40 |
slangasek | soren: the "how is openbios-sparc special", sorry if I'm late to the party :) | 13:40 |
soren | slangasek: I was just curious why -- since I had only moments before mentioned openhackware -- this problem was an "only openbios-sparc" thing. | 13:41 |
slangasek | right | 13:41 |
soren | Which it wasn't. | 13:41 |
* slangasek nods | 13:41 | |
\sh | now, slangasek joined our party, we can work on a solution for these packages in general ;) | 13:42 |
slangasek | none of the solutions are very good | 13:42 |
soren | An ia32-libs sort of approach is the best bet without changing stuff in the policy and on the buildd's. | 13:43 |
slangasek | you can cheat and build an arch: all package in the binary-arch target of a package that has other arch: any packages | 13:43 |
slangasek | you can shove binaries in your source <bleurgh> | 13:43 |
slangasek | you can build-depend on a cross-compiler | 13:43 |
slangasek | you can get someone to hotwire launchpad to allow weird affinities for particular arch: all packages | 13:45 |
\sh | I like the cross-compiler approach ;) | 13:45 |
slangasek | we don't currently package those | 13:45 |
soren | The correctest solution involves adding a hint to debian/control about where to build it and make the soyuz "get it". | 13:45 |
\sh | slangasek, yeah..that's the fun part ... | 13:46 |
\sh | soren, you mean to give soyuz a hint where to switch to -A mode | 13:46 |
soren | Something like that, yes. | 13:48 |
soren | Maybe a hint in PAS? | 13:48 |
persia | I really like the cheating solution: building the arch:all package in the binary-arch target, and relying on P-a-s to keep it off the FTBFS page (along with a bug against Soyuz to do something more intelligent). | 13:48 |
* \sh wonders what the new-to-me abbreviation of PAS/P-a-s means? | 13:49 | |
* persia notes that one could cheat further, and call it arch: sparc in debian/control, yet nonetheless produce an _all.deb (although this breaks the policy about debian/control actually describing the package). | 13:49 | |
* soren shudders | 13:50 | |
StevenK | \sh: Packages-arch-specific | 13:50 |
StevenK | \sh: Don't build packages on arch x | 13:50 |
persia | \sh: It's the hints file to explain to the buildds which packages shouldn't be built on which architectures | 13:50 |
slangasek | soren: not currently supported as part of the P-a-s file format; I don't see the value of extending that, vs. making it a soyuz-specific thing or putting it in the source package | 13:50 |
slangasek | soren: in particular, since this problem affects Ubuntu && !Debian, and Debian shares P-a-s with Ubuntu | 13:51 |
soren | slangasek: P-a-s is not covered by Debian Policy, is it? | 13:51 |
slangasek | no, but you lose the benefit of being able to share the file between the two dists if only the tools in one dist are upgraded to cope with your format changes | 13:51 |
soren | slangasek: Er... We'd have to make changes to *other* tools to do it the other way. | 13:52 |
soren | slangasek: Same difference, AFAICs. | 13:52 |
ScottK2 | slangasek: Which would be a lot easier to deal with if one distro didn't use a proprietary tool set. | 13:52 |
persia | slangasek: We currently can't share the source, due to it working fine in Debian (the equivalant Debian bug was rejected) | 13:52 |
slangasek | persia: note that cheating requires that there *be* some other arch: any package built from the same source, otherwise it'll never get seen on the (e.g.) sparc buildd | 13:52 |
persia | slangasek: Depends on how much one cheats, and whether one lies in debian/control. | 13:53 |
slangasek | soren: eh, no; it *is* different, because one involves making changes to core Debian infrastructure as a precondition of continuing to be able to share data | 13:53 |
slangasek | soren: and the other involves either a soyuz-local override file, or Ubuntu-local changes for the small set of affected source packages | 13:53 |
soren | slangasek: Would maintaining a tiny delta to that file really be so completely awful that we're willing to do massively nasty things basically everywhere else than there? | 13:53 |
soren | slangasek: Well, yes, it could be in a separate file, I guess. | 13:54 |
slangasek | soren: yes - it doubles the work required for every update, because every update would become a merge | 13:54 |
soren | slangasek: ...which wouldn't require changes to the source packages. | 13:54 |
* Hobbsee celebrates the deletion in ppas | 13:54 | |
soren | slangasek: Yes.. That would be the case for dpkg updates, too, if this were to become a field in debian/control. | 13:54 |
soren | dpkg is already a merge every time, though. | 13:55 |
soren | ...but that's a bit beside the point | 13:55 |
slangasek | it's not beside the point | 13:55 |
slangasek | that *is* the point | 13:55 |
StevenK | Hobbsee: You'll celebrate by deleting a package? | 13:55 |
Hobbsee | yeah | 13:55 |
persia | Hobbsee: Can we delete other people's packages yet? | 13:55 |
Hobbsee | persia: doubt it | 13:56 |
TheMuso | I thought that PPA UI for deleting packages was only on staging... Or has that now changed? | 13:56 |
soren | slangasek: Maybe I'm underestimating the amount of changes to P-a-s. | 13:56 |
ScottK2 | Can any team member delete team PPA packages? | 13:56 |
soren | slangasek: How often does it change? | 13:56 |
StevenK | ScottK2: Yup | 13:56 |
StevenK | ScottK2: I was able to select ubuntu-mobile packages to delete. I didn't actually try, though | 13:56 |
ScottK2 | Excellent. | 13:56 |
slangasek | soren: I'd estimate an average of 4-5 changes per month | 13:57 |
* ScottK2 goes to look for teams to join he doesn't like. | 13:57 | |
TheMuso | lol | 13:57 |
slangasek | soren: and it's maintained in CVS, so merges == death :) | 13:57 |
soren | slangasek: The complexity of the delta in question is also quite relevant. | 13:57 |
soren | Oh. | 13:57 |
soren | I didn't realise. | 13:57 |
* slytherin is happy to be finally able to clean up his PPA. :-) | 14:00 | |

StevenK | ScottK2: Which is you, and who else? | 14:51 |
foolano | ScottK2: regarding the license. Upstream just says that it can be distributed under the same terms as perl itself. So do you really think that I should include the GPLv1 license in the copyright file? | 14:51 |
StevenK | bddebian doesn't count, he's only grumpy at himself | 14:51 |

foolano | ScottK2: alright then :) | 14:52 |
ScottK2 | foolano: I suspect your empty dir problem is Perl tool chain related. I built your package in my Dapper pbuilder and didn't get the empty dir. | 14:52 |

LucidFox | jdong> well, I just learned about its existence | 15:47 |
LucidFox | but searching Launchpad, Debian and debian-multimedia.org turns nothing | 15:47 |
LucidFox | the official site has debs, but no source package | 15:48 |
jdong | LucidFox: 2 years ago, I once pseudo debianized the package for upstream. I wonder if they're using that, or checkinstall... | 15:57 |
jdong | LucidFox: I mean it certainly wasn't up to the quality standards of us, but it at least wouldn't break APT :D | 15:57 |
\sh | I wonder how packages are getting build in debian, which such enormous FTBFS rate because of not using newer API of special libs | 15:58 |
LucidFox | I could package tovid myself | 15:59 |
jdong | LucidFox: the only thing I'm not sure of right now are its dependencies | 16:01 |
jdong | LucidFox: it has flags for using both mjpegtools and ffmpeg as encoding backends... | 16:01 |
jdong | might be a package for medibuntu at this rate :) | 16:02 |
jdong | but yeah, if you're willing to take a look at packaging it, that'd be sweet and I'm sure upstream would appreciate it | 16:02 |
LucidFox | The GUI needs python-wxgtk2.6 | 16:02 |
LucidFox | And mjpegtools is in the archive, it's ffmpeg that could pose problem because the Ubuntu version is castrated :) | 16:03 |

ScottK2 | Then it doesn't go in site packages and you need python-support or python-central. | 16:58 |
ScottK2 | Version specific site-packages are only for C extensions under the new python policy. | 16:58 |
LucidFox | I see. | 16:59 |
LucidFox | But how do I use python-support with automake? | 16:59 |
ScottK2 | Dunno. I haven't had to do it. | 16:59 |
ScottK2 | It may be easier to point automake at installing in the right places. | 17:00 |
ScottK2 | It might also be easier to write your own setup.py, slap it in the debian/dir and use that instead. | 17:00 |

LucidFox | ScottK2> Using automake.mk and manually inserting a dh_pysupport call seems to have done the jub | 17:12 |
ScottK2 | LucidFox: Excellent. | 17:12 |
LucidFox | it moved the library to /usr/share/python-support | 17:12 |
ScottK2 | Which is where you want it. | 17:13 |
ScottK2 | Does the binary package have egg-info in it? | 17:13 |
LucidFox | What is egg-info, and how can I check if it does? | 17:14 |
ScottK | LucidFox: Egg info is something used outside Debian to track depenencies. Look in the .deb and see if there's an egg info file in /usr/share/pyhthon-support/packagename. | 17:18 |
ScottK | foolano: libtree-perl is advocated by me. | 17:18 |
ScottK | soren: libtree-perl is looking for a second advocate (ebox depends). | 17:19 |
foolano | ScottK: thx | 17:19 |
* soren looks | 17:21 | |
LucidFox | ScottK> No, there's only .version and files installed by upstream. Grepping for egg returns nothing either. | 17:21 |
ScottK | LucidFox: OK. That's fine then. If you have it you need a versioned depend on python-support, so that's not a concern for your package. | 17:21 |
soren | ScottK: GPL1? Seriously? | 17:22 |
ScottK | soren: Yes. Perl is GPL v1 and later. | 17:22 |
ScottK | soren: I got a package rejected for the lack of that. | 17:22 |

soren | ScottK: "the full text of the license is in the code,"? Where? | 17:24 |
* ScottK2 looks | 17:25 | |
foolano | I had intially looked at perl, perl-base and other perl modules... | 17:25 |
soren | foolano: Where did you find it? The copyright file doesn't say (which it should :) )? | 17:26 |
foolano | soren: cpan | 17:27 |
ScottK2 | soren: lib/Tree.pm for example. | 17:27 |
foolano | i'm gonna add it then | 17:27 |
ScottK2 | lib/Tree/Binary.pm and lib/Tree/Fast.pm too | 17:27 |
soren | ScottK2: Oh, it's got the perl snippet. | 17:27 |
soren | ScottK2: Not quite "full text of the license" :) | 17:28 |
ScottK2 | I think it is | 17:28 |
ScottK2 | If Perl suddenly relicensed GPLv3 only, then that's the only terms you could distribute this with that Perl with. | 17:28 |
ScottK2 | Maybe I'm wrong. | 17:29 |
ScottK2 | soren: I'm off looking for the specific package I got burned on to see how I resolved it and got it uploaded. | 17:30 |
soren | ScottK2: Grab libperl6-junction-perl. | 17:31 |
soren | ScottK2: That's my preferred way to do it. | 17:31 |
ScottK2 | soren: You're right and I'm wrong. I had to repack the tarball | 17:31 |
ScottK2 | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/libnet-dns-resolver-programmable-perl/0.002.2-0ubuntu1 | 17:31 |
soren | ScottK2: Let me guess: pitti was the one who reviewed it? :) | 17:32 |
ScottK2 | Yes. | 17:32 |
soren | ScottK2: Heh.. | 17:33 |
ScottK2 | It was my first package uploaded to Ubuntu too. | 17:33 |
soren | ScottK2: Well, repacking it is ok. I wouldn't require it, but it's ok. | 17:34 |
soren | foolano: You can take a peek at libperl6-junction-perl's debian/changelog. | 17:34 |
foolano | alright | 17:35 |
soren | foolano: I'd have accepted something like that. Well, of course I would. I made it :) | 17:35 |
foolano | :P | 17:35 |
foolano | should i change the copyright file and add what libperl6-junction-perl has? | 17:37 |
ion_ | The map <http://heh.fi/tmp/lightmap> gnome’s clock thing displays nowadays is depressing. It reminds how scarcely we get sunlight. :-) | 17:38 |

\sh | hellboy195, I think at this time of the release cycle you don't have to ask anymore...but this is just me ;) | 18:27 |
mr_pouit | hellboy195: it'll ftbfs in the buildds, but go ahead if you want ;) | 18:27 |
mr_pouit | hellboy195: thanks for asking ;p | 18:27 |
ScottK2 | I'd say asking is stil nice, but waiting a long time isn't needed. | 18:28 |
hellboy195 | ok ^^, it's written on DaD and also my mentor told me to do but i'll keep that in mind | 18:29 |
hellboy195 | mr_pouit: ftbfs? because? | 18:29 |
ScottK2 | hellboy195: It's a source only package due to qmail licensing. Up until very recently binary distribution wasn't allowed. | 18:29 |
hellboy195 | ah, k | 18:30 |
\sh | ScottK2, should this not be worth a change? | 18:30 |
ScottK2 | \sh: You mean qmail? | 18:31 |
\sh | ScottK, yepp | 18:31 |
ScottK2 | Personally, I think it's not worth the effort to mess with, but if someone want to fix up 9 year old code and make it work like a modern mail system (e.g. reject, don't bounce), it's now free software, so they should have at it. | 18:32 |
\sh | ScottK2, well qmail was known because it was fast...in the 90ties I crashed a sparc sendmail system with it :) (that was the sendmail running on sun os at DENIC (the german domain registrar)) | 18:39 |

\sh | hellboy195, even if it FTBFS .. it's a merge because the new package didn't have the fakeroot call which was added in ubuntu | 18:51 |

\sh | siretart, well...annoyingly yes ;) | 18:57 |
siretart | \sh: in that case, gnome-volume-manager should be told to ignore lvm snapshots detected by hal | 18:57 |
\sh | siretart, how? | 18:57 |
\sh | siretart, I see dbus sending out messages to gvfs about it | 18:58 |
\sh | siretart, and I switched off all automounting/autoshowing up of removable and hotplug media | 18:58 |

schierbeck | what would be the reason that my newly built package only contains /usr/share/doc/<pkg>/<stuff>? | 22:07 |
schierbeck | when i extract the source package, everything is there | 22:07 |
schierbeck | and i can install just fine with ./configure, make and sudo make install | 22:07 |
persia | schierbeck: The install files aren't going in to one of debian/tmp/... or debian/<package>/... at build time. | 22:09 |
persia | jdong: Can you review yet, or are you still waiting for promotion? | 22:09 |
ScottK | persia: He's taken care of. | 22:10 |
persia | ScottK: great. I missed it in backscroll. Thanks for the update. | 22:10 |
schierbeck | persia: but i use $(MAKE) prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/$(package)/usr install in the rules file | 22:13 |
schierbeck | and the package var is set correctly | 22:13 |
persia | schierbeck: Does the upsteam Makefile parse prefix when passed like that? Try using debuild in a chroot and check the contents of debian/$(package)/ after the build. | 22:14 |
* persia notes that packaging tends to expose subtle bugs in upstream build systems | 22:15 | |
schierbeck | persia: i've tried running make install manually, with prefix=./debian/<pkg>/usr, but it doesn't create the directories | 22:18 |
schierbeck | should i add a flag to /usr/bin/install? | 22:19 |
schierbeck | -D seems to be the right one | 22:19 |
mok0 | schierbeck: install -D only copies one file at a time | 22:20 |
persia | schierbeck: You could try putting them in debian/package.dirs and calling dh_installdirs. If that doesn't work, patching the upstream Makefile could do it. The first is easier to handle for updates, as you won't have to merge a patch (although you will need to check to make sure they are still correct). | 22:20 |
persia | schierbeck: Whichever path you choose, best to tell upstream that it doesn't work, and they might appreciate a patch to make sure their software can be installed on systems that are missing the install directories. | 22:21 |
schierbeck | persia: it's my own project, so i can easily change the Makefile | 22:21 |
persia | schierbeck: It's handy when working with upstream only means talking to oneself, although it can be confusing sometimes :) | 22:21 |
schierbeck | indeed :) | 22:22 |
schierbeck | i use autotools -- is there something simple i can just put in? | 22:22 |
mok0 | schierbeck: make DESTDIR=debian/tmp install | 22:23 |
schierbeck | mok0: i'll try that, thanks | 22:23 |
* persia notes that for autotools make DESTDIR=debian/$(package)/ ought work as well | 22:24 | |
schierbeck | should i remove the prefix, mandir and infodir declarations from the make install line? | 22:25 |
mok0 | schierbeck: Actualle there are 2 strategies: either have the buildsystem install things directly into the relevant debian/<package> directories, or | 22:25 |
mok0 | schierbeck: let the build system make a complete installation into the debian/tmp tree, and then let <package>.install files put them into their right place for packaging | 22:26 |
schierbeck | i'll try with DESTDIR first :) | 22:26 |
mok0 | schierbeck: I recommend that | 22:26 |
mok0 | schierbeck: and then your rules only needs to be a 4 line cdbs script | 22:27 |
schierbeck | god damn it, all that work and i could've just put in 4 lines!! | 22:27 |
mok0 | schierbeck: which means you don't need to quarrel with the MOTUs about debhelper details :-) | 22:28 |
persia | schierbeck: Think of it as a learning exercise. If you learn the 4-line way, you'd get stuck for something more complex. This way, you learn how it works, and then refactor the code. | 22:28 |
mok0 | schierbeck: if your build is only a straight "configure; make; make install" idiom, cdbs is _much_ simpler | 22:28 |
schierbeck | hehe | 22:29 |
persia | mok0: see the sendmail rules file for a counterexample (although I tend to agree with you when no overrides are required) | 22:29 |
schierbeck | i'm still pissed | 22:29 |
mok0 | schierbeck: learning is hard :-) | 22:29 |
mok0 | schierbeck: check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Howtos/CDBS?highlight=%28CDBS%29 | 22:30 |
schierbeck | tell me about it, i only started using autotools a few weeks ago, and now this whole packaging thing is nagging me | 22:30 |
mok0 | schierbeck: spending time on autotools is *good* | 22:31 |
mok0 | it saves you time later on | 22:31 |
schierbeck | yeah, i know | 22:31 |
schierbeck | crap, still not working | 22:32 |
schierbeck | i'll use that cdbs stuff instead | 22:32 |
mok0 | schierbeck: save your old rules file :-) | 22:32 |
schierbeck | mok0: using bzr :) | 22:33 |
ion_ | Naturally, it’s in the VCS history. | 22:33 |
mok0 | schierbeck: cool | 22:33 |
schierbeck | i'm co-developing bzr-gtk on the side, so i kind of have to :) | 22:34 |
mok0 | schierbeck: respect | 22:34 |
schierbeck | gracias | 22:34 |
schierbeck | hmm, i'm getting "E: mips_0.1.2-1_source.changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file gutsy" | 22:34 |
schierbeck | when running debuild -S | 22:35 |
schierbeck | (still using the old rules file) | 22:35 |
schierbeck | perhaps that's the reason? | 22:35 |
mok0 | schierbeck: ignore it | 22:35 |
schierbeck | okay | 22:35 |
mok0 | schierbeck: lintian is a debian tool, it trips on Ubuntu releases | 22:36 |
schierbeck | k | 22:36 |
persia | schierbeck: You're getting that because of your version. Pleaes use either 0.1.2-0ubuntu1 if you are targeting Ubuntu. | 22:36 |
persia | s/Pleaes use either/Please use/ | 22:37 |
schierbeck | ohh | 22:37 |
schierbeck | on it | 22:37 |
persia | More generally, when you use a Debian revision number, lintian expects you plan to upload to Debian, and complains that Debian doesn't have hardy. | 22:37 |
mok0 | persia: ok, didn't know that | 22:40 |
mok0 | I only installed hardy yesterday on my new quadcore :-P | 22:41 |
persia | mok0: Please share. I see that question a lot, and "ignore it" tends to result in REVU rejections, or difficulties upgrading from privately released early versions to the official version once it gets accepted. | 22:41 |
jdong | persia: I just got the powers earlier today | 22:42 |
jdong | oh nvm scott already answered that | 22:42 |
persia | jdong: Perfect. Now, how many packages can you reject in 24 hours? | 22:42 |
jdong | persia: haha | 22:42 |
jdong | persia: I should ask you to rip apart the package I put up yesterday ;-) | 22:43 |
* persia has reached 33, but thinks 50 ought be possible, with a little concentration. | 22:43 | |
schierbeck | if i use the autotools cdbs commands, do i still need to run autogen.sh before debuild? | 22:43 |
mok0 | persia: I understand. But when struggling with getting the right files into the right packages, I think the problem can be dealt with at a later polishing stage | 22:43 |
persia | mok0: Agreed. | 22:43 |
persia | jdong: I REVU in mostly FIFO order, although I try to have reviewed every package that passes through REVU at least once. Best way to get me to review your package is to review all the packages ahead in the queue. | 22:44 |
mok0 | schierbeck: you should generate your tarball with a "make dist" | 22:44 |
schierbeck | ok | 22:45 |
mok0 | schierbeck: then it will contain a correct configure etc. | 22:45 |
mok0 | schierbeck: doing autogen.sh in packaging is frowned upon (.i.e. don't do it unless absolutely necessary) | 22:45 |
mok0 | schierbeck: ... and since you are upstream it should be avoided | 22:46 |
schierbeck | okay | 22:46 |
jdong | persia: cool, that's awesome, I shall wait patiently then :) | 22:46 |
jdong | persia: is there anything that you don't do? :D | 22:47 |
mok0 | jdong: back in line, dude :-) | 22:47 |
schierbeck | ... but i need to run my autogen.sh and configure before i even have a Makefile... | 22:47 |
schierbeck | but that's okay, right? | 22:47 |
persia | jdong: Lots. Let me know if you're looking for something :) | 22:47 |
mok0 | schierbeck: if you pack your tarball with "make dist" autotools make sure that everything needed is up to date. It will package a configure script + makefiles | 22:48 |
pochu | jdong: don't wait, review instead! :-) | 22:48 |
persia | jdong: And please don't wait patiently. The more you can knock off as failing lintian or having something just plain wrong, the better hardy will be. | 22:48 |
jdong | persia: true | 22:48 |
mok0 | schierbeck: then all you need to do is "configure; make; make install" which cdbs does automagically | 22:48 |
jdong | well I'll go eat and then try playing REVU night ;-) | 22:48 |
jdong | hopefully I won't get addicted :) | 22:49 |
schierbeck | okay | 22:49 |
pochu | jdong: you will end like persia if you do ;) | 22:49 |
mok0 | schierbeck: when upstream does his/her work, packaging is sooooo much easier :-) | 22:49 |
* pochu hides from persia :) | 22:49 | |
persia | pochu: Why does REVU show a bulb when I add a rejection to a package that someone else advocated? | 22:50 |
schierbeck | mok0: i shout at myself *all* the time :) | 22:50 |
pochu | persia: because it has > 0 advocates | 22:51 |
pochu | persia: what should I show instead? | 22:51 |
pochu | Would be trivial to fix | 22:51 |
persia | pochu: Hrm. But it got rejected. Can we add a test to make sure it wasn't rejected as well as having been advocated before granting a lightbulb? | 22:51 |
vorian | it knocked it from the top of the list | 22:51 |
mok0 | schierbeck: I have to say: this forum has taught me humility | 22:51 |
emgent | hyea people | 22:52 |
pochu | persia: it's an if/elif/elif... block, so it's just moving the rejected thing before the "advocates > 0" :) | 22:52 |
pochu | persia: I'll do it in an hour, have to go right now. | 22:52 |
pochu | persia: let me know if you find something else! | 22:52 |
persia | pochu: No huge rush. Thanks a lot for helping. | 22:53 |
mok0 | Ah, a MOTU can skip queue none-the-less | 22:53 |
schierbeck | okay, switched to cdvs | 22:55 |
schierbeck | *cdbs | 22:55 |
schierbeck | crap, now i need autotools as a build-dep | 22:56 |
mok0 | schierbeck: only if you use "autoconf" or "automake" which you should not | 22:57 |
schierbeck | okay | 22:58 |
schierbeck | i just copied from the packaging guide, but i guess i don't need them | 22:58 |
mok0 | schierbeck: like I said above, package your distribution tarball with "make dist" , it will generate a configure file that cdbs will call | 22:58 |
schierbeck | okay | 22:59 |
mok0 | schierbeck: then your only dependency is cdbs and debhelper | 22:59 |
=== Ubulette_ is now known as Ubulette | ||
mok0 | schierbeck: in other words: you are upstream, make those changes in .orig.tar.gz | 23:00 |
schierbeck | okay | 23:01 |
schierbeck | building... | 23:02 |
RainCT | good nightç | 23:09 |
mohammad | Is there any restriction on the size of a deb package? | 23:15 |
RAOF | Not that I know of. There are extremely large debs (for game data, for example). | 23:15 |
RAOF | Smaller is generally better, though :) | 23:16 |
persia | mohammad: technically, making them larger than 2GB (compressed) might have issues on some architectures. From a policy perspective, large packages need to justify their use of archive space (this tends to trigger around 50MB or so). | 23:16 |
mohammad | Thank you persia & RAOF | 23:18 |
schierbeck | persia, mok0: found a few bugs in my project's Makefile.am's, had to fix them before proceeding | 23:31 |
mok0 | schierbeck: great! | 23:31 |
schierbeck | OMG! it's working! | 23:33 |
schierbeck | i thought i'd never see the day!! | 23:33 |
mok0 | schierbeck: :-) | 23:33 |
schierbeck | :D | 23:33 |
schierbeck | thanks for all the help, guys! | 23:33 |
schierbeck | wouldn't have made it without you | 23:33 |
mok0 | schierbeck: glad to help, I received a lot of help here myself... | 23:33 |
schierbeck | :) | 23:34 |
schierbeck | mok0: you're Danish? | 23:40 |
mok0 | schierbeck: yes | 23:40 |
mok0 | schierbeck: but don't hold it against me :-) | 23:41 |
schierbeck | :) | 23:41 |
schierbeck | i live in Østerbro -- what about you? | 23:41 |
mok0 | schierbeck: I live in Aarhus | 23:42 |
mok0 | schierbeck: if you like, there's often a nice crowd on ubuntu-dk | 23:43 |
schierbeck | cool | 23:43 |
mok0 | we can speak danish there :-) | 23:43 |
jdong | whee! I revu'ed a package! I feel so happy :) | 23:43 |
mok0 | jdong: way to go! (hope it was mine) | 23:44 |
ajmitch | jdong: congratulations, you get a gold star & a warm fuzzy feeling | 23:44 |
jdong | ajmitch: just like swimming camp! | 23:45 |
jdong | mok0: nah, with the todo list you hope it wasn't yours ;-) | 23:45 |
mok0 | jdong: swimming camp? that would be more like, at cold shivering feeling... | 23:46 |
mok0 | jdong: :) | 23:46 |
pochu | ENOENT means "No such file or directory", right? But is it an acronym? Or is there a reason for those letters? | 23:56 |
Seveas | E for error NO for no ENT for entry or entity oslt | 23:56 |
pochu | Seveas: ah, thanks :) | 23:58 |
