| Legendario | azeem, what is it? | 00:03 |
| azeem | what is what? | 00:03 |
| Legendario | azeem, an empty build target | 00:03 |
| azeem | Legendario: what is a non-empty build target? | 00:04 |
| azeem | or rather, what is a build target? | 00:04 |
| Legendario | azeem, maybe both | 00:04 |
| azeem | no, I'm asking you | 00:04 |
| Legendario | azeem, sorry. English is my second language, i don't program, and that does not make sense to me... | 00:05 |
| azeem | Legendario: why do you want to pack the source yourself then? | 00:05 |
| azeem | Legendario: or maybe otherwise asked, what would you do if the source had more than just an install script? | 00:06 |
| Legendario | azeem, because I want to learn... and help | 00:06 |
| azeem | ok, then what kind of research did you do so far about "debian/rules build target"? | 00:06 |
| Legendario | azeem, i have created 3 packages so far by following the packaging guide | 00:07 |
| Legendario | that's all i know | 00:07 |
| azeem | ok | 00:08 |
| azeem | Legendario: the Debian Policy Manual probably discusses the various debian/rules targets, including the build target | 00:09 |
| azeem | gotta go now, bye | 00:09 |
| tsmithe | Legendario, a target in a makefile is a name for the collection of commands it runs | 00:09 |
| tsmithe | if you look in a debian/rules (or and Makefile), you will see it is formatted like this: | 00:09 |
| tsmithe | <target>: <dependencies> | 00:09 |
| tsmithe | <rules> | 00:09 |
| tsmithe | if <dependencies> have not been run when <target> is called, they are run first, in the order listed, and then <rules> are executed | 00:10 |
| tsmithe | "build" is one of the targets required in a debian/rules file, and it generally builds the sources into binaries | 00:10 |
| tsmithe | it could have a "configure" rule as a dependency, which would configure the build process to run | 00:11 |
| tsmithe | if the package has no sources that need building, you need not specify any rules, or any dependencies, but the target must still exist to comply with policy. | 00:11 |
| Legendario | tsmithe, thanks for such a detailed explanation! | 00:14 |
| tsmithe | no problem. it's good to have new contributors willing to learn :) | 00:14 |
| pochu | slomo__, superm1: gmyth out of Debian NEW \o/ | 00:17 |
| pochu | next step --------> syncing! | 00:17 |
| * tsmithe can't wait to go through the same process for fluid-soundfont. that would be my first debian package :D | 00:18 | |
| Legendario | tsmithe, is there an easy way to edit the debian/rules in order to achieve it, or a model to follow. My bash scrit habilities are few... | 00:18 |
| tsmithe | Legendario, just do some research on makefiles, look at the debian policy and debian/ubuntu packaging guides/new maintainers guides, and play around with the files that are already there | 00:19 |
| tsmithe | i presume you used dh-make? | 00:19 |
| tsmithe | (to create a skeleton package) | 00:20 |
| RAOF | Legendario: Also, try some non-CDBS packages. CDBS conceals all these targets. | 00:20 |
| Legendario | use dh_make | 00:20 |
| Legendario | RAOF, i realized that | 00:20 |
| tsmithe | yeah, don't use cdbs until you know how the system works ;) | 00:20 |
| Hobbsee | morning all | 00:26 |
| LaserJock | hola Hobbsee | 00:27 |
| Legendario | thanks tsmithe | 00:28 |
| Legendario | and RAOF | 00:28 |
| tsmithe | no problem | 00:28 |
| nixternal | hiya Hobbsee and LaserJock | 00:30 |
| Legendario | any suggestion on a makefile "tutorial"? | 00:30 |
| * nixternal pets kdevelop for doing the makefiles for me | 00:30 | |
| Legendario | tsmithe, a good one... | 00:31 |
| tsmithe | Legendario, sorry, but i'm sure google can | 00:31 |
| LaserJock | Legendario: what specifically are you having trouble with? | 00:32 |
| tsmithe | each line is a command executed in its own shell | 00:32 |
| tsmithe | the rest seems self-explanatory... | 00:32 |
| Legendario | tsmithe, google has lots of those. I was hoping there is a reference one | 00:33 |
| Legendario | LaserJock, i am trying to pack a program that has only an install script | 00:34 |
| * tsmithe just learned by example, so he doesn't have much to recommend | 00:34 | |
| Legendario | got to know i have to learn more about makefiles... | 00:34 |
| LaserJock | Legendario: it's really easy thought | 00:35 |
| LaserJock | *thought | 00:35 |
| LaserJock | bah | 00:35 |
| tsmithe | hehe | 00:35 |
| LaserJock | *though | 00:35 |
| LaserJock | there | 00:35 |
| tsmithe | ;) | 00:35 |
| LaserJock | Legendario: as azeem said you need an empty build rule | 00:35 |
| MECU | I'm new and I read that I could help out by compiling programs, where do I find the programs (packages) that need to be compiled? | 00:35 |
| tsmithe | Legendario, what don't you get about makefiles? i explained the structure... | 00:35 |
| nixternal | MECU: are you familiar with Debian/Ubuntu packaging? If not, check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide for some information on that | 00:36 |
| LaserJock | Legendario: each rule (the unindented part that has a :, like configure:, build:, etc.) has the lines that are need to build the package | 00:36 |
| Hobbsee | sigh. how does one make wine behave now? | 00:36 |
| nixternal | MECU: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU has a todo list and more information as well for you | 00:37 |
| MECU | yes, I just read though that, okay, thanks nixternal | 00:37 |
| nixternal | Hobbsee: you think you are jesus or something? You think you can make wine do whatever you want? :p | 00:37 |
| Hobbsee | hehe | 00:37 |
| Hobbsee | or at least run | 00:37 |
| MECU | wouldn't that be: cp water wine ? | 00:38 |
| nixternal | I haven't tried running the ie4linux stuff..let me see | 00:38 |
| ScottK2 | Hobbsee: You browbeat \sh until he fixes it. | 00:39 |
| nixternal | yup, wine isn't working here | 00:39 |
| Legendario | LaserJock, it has a build and a build-stamp section. How do i call the install script? | 00:41 |
| * Hobbsee sighs | 00:41 | |
| Hobbsee | why give me an executable to unzip something, anyway... | 00:41 |
| LaserJock | Legendario: you do that in the install: rule | 00:41 |
| tsmithe | could someone upload https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mscore/+bug/195179 please? (to clarify, i don't think it requires a FFe) | 00:41 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 195179 in mscore "Please update mscore to 0.9.1d+dfsg-0ubuntu2 (debdiff attached)" [Undecided,New] | 00:41 |
| Legendario | LaserJock, like adding $(CUR_DIR)/install.sh | 00:45 |
| LaserJock | right | 00:45 |
| Legendario | LaserJock, should i erase the build and build-stamp sections? | 00:45 |
| LaserJock | keep build: it's required | 00:46 |
| RAOF | Hobbsee: By installing the Gutsy package from winehq, sadly. Or possibly rebuilding our package locally with an older gcc. | 00:46 |
| LaserJock | but it can be empty | 00:46 |
| Hobbsee | RAOF: right | 00:46 |
| RAOF | Hobbsee: It hasn't been all bad. I learnt about aptitude forbid-version :) | 00:46 |
| StevenK | RAOF: Wine doesn't like gcc 4.2? | 00:46 |
| Legendario | LaserJock, what about the build-stamp one? | 00:46 |
| RAOF | StevenK: Apparently building with an older gcc makes wine not segfault immediately. | 00:47 |
| LaserJock | Legendario: you can remove it and any references to it | 00:47 |
| RAOF | StevenK: I haven't tested this personally. | 00:47 |
| RAOF | Legendario: The build-stamp target is there to make sure the source gets built exactly once; you'll notice that the last thing it does is to create a file called "build-stamp". | 00:48 |
| RAOF | Legendario: This means that if someone calls the build: target again, build: will see that the build-stamp file already exists, and so won't call the target again. | 00:48 |
| Legendario | LaserJock, thanks... I learn a lot every time i get here. And by packaging, i learn a lot of computing too... ;-) | 00:50 |
| Legendario | LaserJock, but i think this could be added on the packaging guide | 00:51 |
| LaserJock | well, it's a wiki, everybody is more than welcome to help :-0 | 00:51 |
| LaserJock | :-) rather | 00:51 |
| Legendario | LaserJock, after i get good on it... I may try it. :-P | 00:53 |

| ubotu | Launchpad bug 195453 in xen-source "Please remove xen-{source,unstable} from hardy" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/195453 | 00:53 |
| Legendario | LaserJock, the install section has a build option. Am I supposed to erase it too? | 00:56 |
| RAOF | Legendario: By "build option" you mean "declares a dependency on build", right? Since you don't actually need to build anything, you can either leave that in (since build is empty), or preferably remove it. | 00:57 |
| RAOF | Legendario: As in: the makefile contains a line "install: build", right? | 00:58 |
| Legendario | RAOF, that's it | 00:59 |
| RAOF | Right. So that says "you have to run the build target before the install target". Since your build target does nothing, this is harmless but unnecessary. | 00:59 |
| Legendario | ok | 01:01 |
| LaserJock | dang, I can't figure out why my old laptop is sooooo slow | 01:03 |

| === Spec is now known as x-spec-t | ||
| tbf | superm1: strange that automake didn't complain | 01:22 |
| superm1 | tbf, well the project is of particular interest to me :) | 01:23 |
| superm1 | tbf, so i wanted to see how well it worked | 01:23 |
| superm1 | tbf, you had some comments somewhere in the package about the confusion about only debian/ubuntu using lirc.hwdb | 01:25 |
| superm1 | that's because we (Ubuntu) are the first to adapt using it | 01:26 |
| superm1 | the idea is supposed to be that eventually everyone will though | 01:26 |
| tbf | https://code.fluendo.com/remotecontrol/trac/browser/trunk/data/receivers.conf | 01:26 |
| superm1 | yup that's where I was reading :) | 01:27 |
| tbf | superm1: lirc.hwdb was a good idea, but it doesn't provide the information needed for auto-detection | 01:27 |
| superm1 | tbf, well the spec can still be changed upstream | 01:27 |
| superm1 | have you talked to Chris B. about it already? | 01:27 |
| superm1 | on the lirc-list | 01:27 |
| tbf | superm1: currently i try to get code package ready before the hard beta freeze... :-/ | 01:28 |
| superm1 | tbf, ah. | 01:28 |
| tbf | superm1: but the file format i have now seems to work for me... | 01:29 |
| superm1 | well if you need some help, someone on my team (~mythbuntu), will probably be willing to help | 01:29 |
| superm1 | he wanted to do a similar spec | 01:29 |
| superm1 | but never got around to it | 01:29 |
| tbf | https://code.fluendo.com/remotecontrol/trac/browser/trunk/bin/build-receiver-list | 01:29 |
| superm1 | tbf, you should know though, inside ubuntu we have a special patch (that upstream hasn't accepted yet) | 01:29 |
| superm1 | tbf, that allows a lircd.conf to be "included" in the system wide one | 01:30 |
| tbf | this script generates a slight variation of that receivers.conf by scaning the source code of lirc | 01:30 |
| tbf | superm1: guess i really should send a mail about that script and the file-format to the lirc-list tomorrow | 01:32 |
| superm1 | tbf, yeah, sometimes Chris is a little slow responding | 01:32 |
| superm1 | so that would be worthwhile | 01:32 |
| tbf | superm1: i'd also highly appreciate (manual?) updates to the receivers.conf file.... | 01:33 |
| tbf | superm1: currently it is quite empty | 01:33 |
| tbf | superm1: i say "manual", cause of the timeframe needed, to get annotations into the lirc code | 01:34 |
| superm1 | tbf, well let me put you in touch with the chap on my team that was looking to work on this | 01:34 |
| superm1 | tbf, if hang around #ubuntu-mythtv-dev and idle for a bit, his name is foxxbuntu | 01:34 |

| TheMuso | So shouldn't it be a sync? | 03:28 |
| mok0_ | Well, yes, if possible at this time | 03:28 |
| TheMuso | mok0_: Well, I suggest you re-examine the bug, and the package, and if so, change the package description to a sync request. | 03:29 |
| mok0_ | TheMuso: arair I noted in the changelog that it should be synced next time | 03:29 |
| TheMuso | mok0_: I'm confused... Why next time? | 03:30 |
| mok0_ | I assumed this was the way to do a FFE | 03:30 |
| mok0_ | I didn't know I could just do a sync request | 03:30 |
| TheMuso | An FFE can still be a sync, as long as the requested information is given, and 2 acks are given. It doesn't have to be a merge/upload. | 03:31 |
| mok0_ | TheMuso: and I need some uploads :-) | 03:31 |
| TheMuso | An FFE is just that, an FFE, a request to change the package in a major way, whether it be via a sync, or a upload/merge etc. | 03:31 |
| TheMuso | mok0_: When a package is synced, you still get credit for requesting it. | 03:31 |
| mok0_ | TheMuso: cool :-) | 03:32 |
| mok0_ | TheMuso: How does the sync happen in practice? | 03:32 |
| mok0_ | TheMuso: someone has to fetch it and upload | 03:33 |
| TheMuso | mok0_: The archive admins have powers to directly copy the package from Debian. | 03:33 |
| TheMuso | Nobody uploads it. | 03:33 |
| TheMuso | mok0_: I'm assuming you have never requested a sync before. | 03:33 |
| mok0_ | TheMuso: that's right | 03:33 |
| mok0_ | TheMuso: so, I just change the bug description? Is there a tag? | 03:34 |
| TheMuso | mok0_: No. Let me find the wiki page describing the sync process. | 03:34 |
| mok0_ | Thx | 03:35 |
| TheMuso | mok0_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess | 03:35 |
| mok0_ | TheMuso: looks easy enough... most of the requested info is already attached to the bug | 03:37 |
| TheMuso | mok0_: Well, have a look over the bug as it is now, and change the description to a sync request and you'll find out soon enough whether you've given enough information. | 03:37 |

| Legendario | how do i use dh_installman? | 03:59 |
| RAOF | man dh_installman and man debhelper will give useful pointers, but generally the answer is to just call dh_installman in the appropriate debian/rules target. | 04:05 |
| RAOF | And like the rest of debhelper, having a debian/$packagename.manpages should make it just work. | 04:07 |

| dholbach | I noticed :-))) | 07:05 |
| nixternal | it started out as 5-a-day, but as I sat in on classes at the uni, I started doing 20 to 60 a day listening to boring lectures :) | 07:06 |
| dholbach | it seems the project grew so much that committing bugs you've worked on takes a while :) | 07:06 |
| nixternal | I noticed that today | 07:06 |
| dholbach | I'll try to work something out to fix that | 07:06 |
| dholbach | so everybody commits to their own branch | 07:06 |
| dholbach | which will make the statistics a bit more complicated, but it's going to befine | 07:07 |
| nixternal | actually, I did my add-5-a-day, and it updated the branch, and between the time it finished updating the branch and committing mine, someone had committed, which caused add-5-a-day to crash out because the branch was out of date | 07:07 |

| Fujitsu | Why not have people commit to their own branch, then have some script running somewhere that watches lots of branches and merges them into the main one? | 07:07 |
| dholbach | ah ok | 07:07 |
| nixternal | someone had committed in between the update and my commit, in between the 1st and 2nd stage of add-5-a-day | 07:08 |
| dholbach | Fujitsu: probably not even necessary to merge them into a main branch | 07:08 |
| warp10 | Good morning! | 07:08 |
| dholbach | Fujitsu: but yeah, that'S the basic idea | 07:08 |
| dholbach | we could even make it so that people push their changes to multiple branches (I'd commit to dholbach and ubuntu-berlin for example) so that teams could compete against each other :) | 07:09 |
| dholbach | it makes statistics a bit hard to figure out, but I somehow like the general idea :) | 07:09 |

| * persia isn't convinced 87947 should be "Fix Released" as I'm currently finding about 8 dupes. | 11:36 | |
| Ng | persia: what would be useful for the testing report? I'm not sure that "well there are probably half a dozen people using 0.8.1 or later and in regular contact with the project who haven't reported any serious bugs" will do ;) | 11:40 |
| persia | Ng: Depends on the nature of the update. My previous testing reports have varied from "doesn't segfault on startup for me" to arranging for people with three different architectures to follow two use cases and report the results (odd issue with failing to render only some Youtube videos). | 11:41 |
| Ng | hmm | 11:42 |
| persia | My understanding (and I'm not authoritative on this) is that you want to include enough information to convince the release team that the updates package (and any dependencies) work well enough to be released after the update. For terminator, it ought be fairly easy. | 11:42 |
| Ng | persia: ok thanks, I'll whip something up | 11:45 |

| pochu | ScottK: thanks for fixing pychecker | 12:38 |
| pochu | slomo_: re: gst-bad - no hurry, that's fine :) | 12:39 |
| pochu | ScottK: I setted it as high importance because it was uninstallable and not because it was spe. we do the same for ftbfs independently of the package | 12:39 |
| persia | pochu: For everything? I thought most universe packages couldn't qualify for "High" except for license issues. | 12:40 |
| pochu | persia: hmm, I don't know, but infinity's MBF was done at high importance I think. Perhaps his check was done for main only | 12:43 |
| persia | pochu: For main, failure-to-install or FTBFS is typically High. For universe, typically Medium, although some packages might have enough users to qualify for high. | 12:44 |
| pochu | persia: ok, thanks | 12:45 |
| persia | pochu: Reviewing https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance, I'd think that for universe it would have to be something like a significant component of one of the universe derivatives being broken in order to qualify for "Has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users", as I don't think anything is really popular enough for "Has a moderate impact on a large portion of Ubuntu users". | 12:48 |
| pochu | persia: wxwidgets ftbfs would qualify ;) | 12:52 |
| persia | pochu: Ah. Maybe, at least for 2.6. There's likely a few other major universe libraries as well. | 12:53 |
| * ScottK thinks clamav and spamassassin would potentially qualify. | 12:54 | |
| ScottK | pochu: In that case (for spe) after you test it, I'd suggest it's fix released, not invalid. | 12:55 |
| persia | Probably. There's a lot of dependencies, and a fair number of users. On the other hand, it's not likely true for spe :) | 12:55 |

| amarillion | Do you know any good tools to import ~150 signed gpg keys reasonably quickly? | 13:45 |
| broonie | amarillion: Depends on what format you have the keys in... what problems does gpg --import give you? | 13:47 |
| vivia | hello there... i just saw tcl/tk 8.5 entering the repositories lately and an updated amsn compiled against 8.5 ... (first thing, make sure latest amsn package is marked incompatible with tcl/tk 8.4, ok?) but i found a problem | 13:48 |
| amarillion | Ah I forgot to tell you, they are in my email right now, thunderbird | 13:48 |
| persia | mok1: I've generally used the script command to capture my entries and the output. I typically do all of install, upgrade, remove, and purge to demonstrate that all the maintainer scripts do the right thing. | 13:48 |
| vivia | if someone has tcl/tk 8.5 and tcllib from the gutsy repositories, amsn won't start | 13:48 |
| amarillion | Is there a tool that can sort them out from a mbox or something? | 13:48 |
| vivia | it's a bug in snit 2.1 that is contained in the current tcllib package | 13:49 |
| broonie | mutt should be able to do it (open the mbox, tag everything and tell it to snarf the keys) | 13:49 |
| vivia | they told me that the latest snit release fixes it. but snit 2.1 contained in tcllib 1.9.dfsg1-1 is VERY problematic with tcl/tk 8.5 | 13:49 |
| amarillion | snarf? Ok I'll look into it | 13:49 |
| vivia | so it should cause problems to other applications too, not just amsn | 13:49 |
| persia | vivia: You likely want either #ubuntu-bugs, or to report a bug from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tcllib/+bugs | 13:49 |

| amarillion | broonie, did you ever participate in a key signing party? | 14:10 |
| amarillion | Has anyone here participated in a key signing party? | 14:12 |
| broonie | amarillion: yes | 14:14 |
| amarillion | So how did you learn how it works? | 14:15 |
| amarillion | I don't really understand it | 14:15 |
| amarillion | I mean, I understand the theory, but the documentation is very skimpy on the details | 14:15 |
| broonie | You mean the actual process for doing things? That differs depending on how the event is organised. Whichever way it's just a way to do an individual signing in bulk. | 14:16 |
| amarillion | If I'm going to do this with thunderbird, I now have to open 150 emails, save the attachment, (type in a different name for each of them or thunderbird will overwrite) unencrypt and then import | 14:17 |
| amarillion | Probably I can find a way to automate things with mutt but then I'd have to learn to use mutt first | 14:18 |
| geser | amarillion: the main problem with KSPs is: how do you get a bulk of people to check each others identities in an ordered way and in a minimum of time | 14:18 |
| amarillion | geser, yeah, it was reasonably efficient at fosdem this year | 14:18 |
| emgent | heya geser :) | 14:18 |
| broonie | amarillion: mutt has a direct command for "import key from this e-mail" | 14:18 |
| amarillion | I hear it was a mess in previous years | 14:18 |
| amarillion | broonie, ah, which is it? I can't find it in the help | 14:19 |
| geser | amarillion: Debian people have expierence at doing a KSP, I was at the FOSDEM KSP last year | 14:19 |
| amarillion | There is a command in mutt to decrypt it | 14:19 |
| broonie | amarillion: C-k | 14:19 |
| geser | amarillion: ^K extract-keys extract supported public keys | 14:19 |
| amarillion | great, thanks | 14:20 |

| man-di | amarillion: install signing-party and use caff | 14:24 |
| amarillion | man-di, I used caff to send out the signed keys | 14:24 |
| geser | yes, for sending out signatures caff is really good | 14:24 |
| \sh | geser: for this you use caff and a local smtp | 14:24 |

| slytherin | LucidFox: update it once a day. That should be sufficient I guess. | 15:17 |
| LucidFox | The frequency of updates doesn't matter - there's simply too much to download | 15:18 |

| volksman | is this the right channel for packaging support? (IE I'm trying to package something and I'm having n00b issues) | 17:53 |
| RainCT | volksman: yes | 17:54 |
| RainCT | (for packaging support related to Ubuntu packages) | 17:55 |
| volksman | sweet...I managed to package Tomboy 0.9.4 for gutsy today. I was pretty happy (second package ever)...but then I found a bug in the app and the developer told me to try 0.9.7 | 17:55 |
| volksman | so I went about packaging it the exact same way....cept now once I get my deb I get this error when I try to install: | 17:56 |
| volksman | trying to overwrite directory `/usr/share/pixmaps' in package xfce4-appfinder with nondirectory | 17:56 |
| volksman | I have two icons that get installed in /usr/share/pixmaps but where is xfce4 getting involved? | 17:56 |
| RainCT | volksman: can you paste the output from "dpkg-deb --contents tomboy*.deb" somewhere? | 17:57 |
| volksman | yep...give me a sec | 17:57 |
| slangasek | volksman: that error indicates an error in your package that caused /usr/share/pixmaps to end up as a file within your package, not a directory | 17:58 |
| volksman | http://pastebin.ca/919214 | 17:59 |
| volksman | slangasek: I was thinking along those lines but I haven't changed anything in the rules that affect the icons or anything to do with that path (I'm basically using the same rules as I used for the 0.9.4 build) | 18:00 |
| volksman | lintian dumps this: E: tomboy: file-directly-in-usr-share usr/share/pixmaps | 18:01 |
| RainCT | yep, it's a file | 18:02 |
| RainCT | how are you installing the icon? | 18:02 |
| volksman | uudecode debian/tomboy-16.xpm.uu && mv tomboy-16.xpm debian/tomboy/usr/share/pixmaps | 18:02 |
| volksman | in install in rules | 18:02 |
| volksman | and that was taken from the 0.8.0 source | 18:03 |
| slangasek | yes, but you haven't created debian/tomboy/usr/share/pixmaps as a directory first | 18:03 |
| volksman | so a line like mkdir debian/tomboy/usr/share/pixmaps above that last one I posted would work for that? | 18:04 |
| RainCT | volksman: add a / at the end | 18:04 |
| RainCT | uudecode debian/tomboy-16.xpm.uu && mv tomboy-16.xpm debian/tomboy/usr/share/pixmaps/ | 18:04 |
| volksman | it's weird this didn't present an issue with the 0.9.4 build I did earlier | 18:04 |
| RainCT | without the slash mv takes "pixmaps" as the name for the file and renamed "tomboy-16.xpm" to that.. | 18:05 |
| RainCT | volksman: perhaps you had a mkdir before but removed it, or forgot the debian/dirs file or something? | 18:06 |
| slangasek | RainCT: and adding the slash will only change the error to "no such directory" | 18:06 |
| volksman | mkdir debian/tomboy/usr/share/pixmaps | 18:07 |
| volksman | uudecode debian/tomboy-16.xpm.uu && mv tomboy-16.xpm debian/tomboy/usr/share/pixmaps/ | 18:07 |

| secretlondon | geser: I know another package in edubuntu main will need sdlpango promoted once the current version is synced | 21:14 |
| emgent | heya pople | 21:14 |
| secretlondon | geser: as tuxpaint 0.9.18+ has it as a dep too | 21:15 |
| geser | Hi emgent | 21:15 |
| emgent | heya geser :P | 21:15 |
| emgent | keescook, ping | 21:15 |
| geser | secretlondon: you were talking about you don't know how to fill out the packaging stuff? You mean point 5 of the MIR template? | 21:16 |
| secretlondon | geser: 5 is fine (thats just the build deps), it's 4 I can't do | 21:17 |
| secretlondon | geser: to do with standards compliance | 21:17 |
| secretlondon | geser: this is my work so far https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportTemplateSDLPango?action=show | 21:18 |
| === slangase` is now known as slangasek | ||
| geser | secretlondon: you are off-by-one :) you use 1. twice | 21:19 |
| secretlondon | argh | 21:19 |
| secretlondon | yeah it's the standards compliance bit anyway ;) | 21:20 |
| geser | let's start with the easy part: packaging system | 21:21 |
| geser | I assume you have the source package ready | 21:21 |
| secretlondon | no i'll just get - though cdbs and quilt are deps | 21:22 |
| secretlondon | oh I do have actually | 21:23 |
| geser | secretlondon: if you know that cdbs is a packaging system and quilt a patch management system then you can already answer two questions from that bullet | 21:23 |
| secretlondon | geser: no I thought they were both patching | 21:24 |
| bmhm | hi, I'd like to request this backport once again :) | 21:24 |
| bmhm | https://bugs.launchpad.net/gutsy-backports/+bug/192751 | 21:24 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 192751 in gutsy-backports "Backport of network game "pioneers"" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 21:24 |
| jpatrick | bmhm: why is --force needed? | 21:26 |
| bmhm | jpatrick: this was when using original packages | 21:26 |
| bmhm | I should clearify it | 21:27 |
| geser | secretlondon: if you look into debian/rules you will see that it includes files from /usr/share/cdbs -> cdbs packaging system | 21:27 |
| * secretlondon looks | 21:27 | |
| secretlondon | ok | 21:28 |
| geser | secretlondon: if you then also check which files are included you'll see /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/patchsys-quilt.mk which is also pretty obvious from the name | 21:28 |
| secretlondon | yep | 21:28 |
| geser | it uses quilt for patch managing | 21:28 |
| secretlondon | ok | 21:28 |
| secretlondon | oddities - there's something to do with autotools in there somewhere as a patch | 21:29 |
| bmhm | jpatrick: I hope its a little more clearly described by now | 21:29 |
| geser | I wouldn't count that as oddities, that's normal use | 21:29 |
| secretlondon | ok | 21:29 |
| geser | I just looked at the diff.gz but I can't find any oddities | 21:30 |
| geser | a packaging oddity would be for me a part from the packaging I can't understand on the first look (or at all) | 21:31 |
| geser | but I see that it's a library, so let's check the Debian library packaging guide as next | 21:32 |
| geser | secretlondon: from debian/libsdl-pango1.install | 21:34 |
| geser | you can see that it will contain only the lib itself -> ok | 21:34 |
| geser | from debian/libsdl-pango-dev.install you'll see that it includes the headers, the files needed for linking and some documention -> everythin ok | 21:36 |
| geser | the package names follow the usual packaging scheme -> ok | 21:37 |
| geser | secretlondon: so after a quick look the package follows the library packageing guide | 21:39 |
| geser | secretlondon: and also the FHS as there are no unusual dirs in the debs | 21:39 |
| geser | what's left? the Debian policy compliance | 21:40 |
| geser | I would check it with linda and lintian and when both doesn't scream loud (many errors) say that it follows the policy (perhaps include the output of both) | 21:41 |
| geser | secretlondon: any questions? | 21:42 |
| === secretlondo is now known as secretlondon | ||
| geser | secretlondon: where have I lost you? | 21:45 |
| * secretlondon curses her flaky hsdpa modem | 21:45 | |
| secretlondon | my last thing was asking about whether 6 patches was a lot | 21:45 |
| secretlondon | I didn't get a reply | 21:45 |
| geser | secretlondon: last I've seen from you is [22:30:02] secretlondon | ok | 21:46 |
| secretlondon | ah ok | 21:46 |
| geser | 6 patches aren't many (they aren't even big) | 21:46 |
| secretlondon | 21:32 secretlondon> is 6 patches quite a lot - does that indicate that upstream is a bit slow? | 21:46 |
| secretlondon | ok | 21:47 |
| geser | the changes from config.{sub,guess} come from using an new version of those files from autotools-dev | 21:47 |
| geser | secretlondon: the one that would trouble me at most from all is api_additions.patch | 21:49 |
| geser | patching the api of a library can call for trouble later | 21:49 |
| secretlondon | it apparently closed debian bug #437865 | 21:50 |
| ubotu | Debian bug 437865 in libsdl-pango-dev "libsdl-pango-dev: Please add #define's to identify API extension patch" [Wishlist,Fixed] http://bugs.debian.org/437865 | 21:50 |
| secretlondon | ah - its a patch on a patch | 21:51 |
| secretlondon | that actually dates back to 2006 "api_additions.patch: patch from Guillaume Cottenceau to add some | 21:52 |
| secretlondon | missing functions" | 21:52 |
| geser | secretlondon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5023/ is the log of what you have missed | 21:53 |
| secretlondon | geser thanks | 21:54 |
| geser | no problem | 21:55 |
| secretlondon | but the fact that we have an api that upstream don't have worries me | 21:55 |
| geser | yes, me too | 21:57 |
| slangasek | is it an ABI difference, or just an API difference? | 21:59 |
| geser | I'd list it somewhere in the report but don't know where | 21:59 |
| geser | slangasek: API addition according to the patch name | 21:59 |
| secretlondon | I'm going to add it in background info | 22:00 |
| slangasek | so it doesn't break ABI compatibility with upstream? | 22:00 |
| slangasek | I wouldn't worry overly much about that | 22:00 |
| secretlondon | ok | 22:01 |
| geser | slangasek: doesn't look like, the modified header file has only additions (no replacements) | 22:02 |
| slangasek | geser: uhm, but additions of what? | 22:03 |
| slangasek | geser: if it's adding new entry points into the library, that's an ABI difference, and something to be wary of (though not necessarily in this context) | 22:04 |
| geser | slangasek: some code it moved into there own functions but the the old functions call the new ones | 22:04 |
| slangasek | perhaps you could point me to the patch in question? I think looking at it would be easier | 22:05 |
| geser | api-additions.patch in sdlpango | 22:05 |
| persia | ScottK: I'm running off, but I added the request to file a new candidate bug when there were multiple fixes because when I was a contributor, I had several complaints from both bug reporters and sponsors that I was confusingly combining things in patches. This was intended to avoid that. | 22:05 |
| persia | I've no strong attachment to the practice, if it is consensus that it is incorrect. | 22:06 |
| ScottK | persia: OK. It was the first I heard of it when I say a diff of the related page. | 22:06 |
| ScottK | persia: At most I'd say it's a may not a must. | 22:07 |
| persia | ScottK: Agreed. Definitely "may". The only intention was to avoid confusion. Feel free to adjust phrasing if you like (I'm not sure must -> may for that needs a meeting item) | 22:07 |
| ScottK | persia: Will do. Thanks. | 22:08 |
| geser | slangasek: or should I pastebin it? | 22:08 |
| slangasek | geser: nope, looking already; the patch looks to me like an ABI change | 22:09 |
| slangasek | I'm double-checking the binary package | 22:09 |
| geser | slangasek: if I understood libraries correctly, it's only a problem if a Debian/Ubuntu binary linked against this lib is used with an plain upstream version, correct? | 22:10 |
| geser | programms linked with the "clean" lib should also continue to run with our version, also correct? | 22:11 |
| slangasek | geser: it's also a problem if upstream later adds functions under these same names but with a different prototype, without changing the soname, which they're entitled to do | 22:12 |
| geser | true | 22:13 |
| * persia notes that this is the sort of change that upstream can make without an ABI transition, but cannot be made by a distribution without confusion. | 22:13 | |
| ScottK | persia: Updated and removed from the agenda. Thanks. | 22:15 |
| persia | ScottK: Thanks for the review. The wiki is often behind current usage, and in cases where this isn't a result of lax compliance, the updates are exceedindly helpful | 22:16 |
| secretlondon | http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1882228&group_id=110621&atid=657085 may refer to the api patch | 22:22 |
| ubotu | Gaim bug 1882228 "API extension for Frozen Bubble" [Pri: 5,Open] | 22:22 |

| mario_limonciell | pochu, yes | 22:28 |
| mario_limonciell | pochu, i attached a debdiff to the debian bug of gst-plugins-base0.10 since it looks like we sync from there normally, but they haven't shown up in the BTS for the last 30 minutes for some reason or another | 22:34 |
| pochu | mario_limonciell: Debian bug 468073 ? | 22:42 |

| mario_limonciell | pochu, yeah | 22:42 |
| pochu | mario_limonciell: did you send it to 468073@bugs.debian.org? | 22:43 |
| mario_limonciell | pochu, yeah | 22:43 |
| pochu | mario_limonciell: you can attach it to the ubuntu bug too, slomo is subscribed there so he'll receive it | 22:44 |
| mario_limonciell | sure | 22:44 |
| pochu | thanks | 22:44 |
| mario_limonciell | pochu, weird, i attached a debdiff to an ekiga debian bug 5 minutes ago and it showed up immediately. | 22:56 |

| crimsun_ | mario_limonciell: no, thanks for the heads-up. (I travel without reliable 'net access, so I'm no longer in the bug contact group) | 23:18 |
| mario_limonciell | crimsun_, ah okay. thanks :) | 23:19 |
| mario_limonciell | rtg was going to apply it, but then got scared of bzr | 23:19 |
| crimsun_ | mario_limonciell: mm, on which codecs? | 23:22 |
| crimsun_ | mario_limonciell: just Sigmatels? | 23:22 |
| mario_limonciell | well i've only verified it on sigmatels | 23:22 |
| crimsun_ | mario_limonciell: there are some Conexant and Realteks that will do nasty things if that and PCM are set higher than 50% | 23:23 |
| mario_limonciell | but do they have a mixer entitled "Digital" | 23:23 |
| mario_limonciell | or is it named different? | 23:23 |
| crimsun_ | the name string really isn't terribly important | 23:24 |
| crimsun_ | which node id is it? | 23:24 |
| mario_limonciell | give me a sec | 23:24 |
| crimsun_ | some do have "Digital", but the node id is more important, since you can just whack the name string | 23:24 |
| pochu | mario_limonciell: if I renew my laptop, I'll consider switching to a dell so I can bug you if something doesn't work :P | 23:26 |
| mario_limonciell | crimsun_, looks like it should be 0x20 | 23:26 |
| mario_limonciell | pochu, hehe | 23:26 |
| crimsun_ | mario_limonciell: ok, I'll check the Realteks tonight | 23:27 |
| mario_limonciell | crimsun_, well actualyl there are two digital inputs, hopefully that's the right one, 0x22 is marked as a pin complex, but 0x20 is marked as an Audio Input | 23:27 |
| crimsun_ | mario_limonciell: otherwise, it looks fine - just need to verify it doesn't break others | 23:27 |
| mario_limonciell | crimsun_, okay, let me know if you need anything more | 23:28 |
| mario_limonciell | ah a little more detailed, the node info on 0x20 lists a connection to 0x22. | 23:31 |
| secretlondon | geser: I've done some digging and it looks like many distros have added the patch. upstream may be dead tho | 23:32 |
