* Amaranth waves13:00
Amaranthhrm, small crowd :P13:00
dholbachhow are you all doing?13:00
IulianDoing great :)13:01
dholbachROCK ON :)13:01
teprrrso is this session about creating packages or..?13:01
dholbachteprrr: it's about asking all the questions you have on your mind, regarding packaging, motu processes, we can even try to fix a problem together, etc13:02
dholbachthis session is all you guys make of it :)13:02
dholbachso do we have any questions today? :)13:02
IulianI do13:03
dholbachIulian: excellent - fire away13:03
teprrrdholbach, ah, I see. well, I'll stick in the background and watch what others want to say :)13:03
dholbachteprrr: if anything's unclear - please speak pu13:03
dholbachup13:03
IulianI have some questions regarding bug #199201. It looks like it doesn't build cleanly. Please take a look at Please take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/5379/plain/13:04
IulianDo you have any ideas how to fix that? I'm totally clueless.13:04
teprrrIulian, the patch seems to be broken13:06
dholbachlet me try it13:06
IulianOkay13:06
dholbachweird weird13:08
Iuliandholbach: Indeed.13:09
dholbachI just applied the .debdiff - that one applies fine13:09
dholbachhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5376/plain/ does not13:10
dholbachIulian: how did you generate the "new patch" that RainCT mentions?13:11
Iuliandholbach: I just made a new debdiff and removed unnecessary lines13:11
IulianThose lines that are in the first debdiff13:12
dholbachhrm... it's a lot of changes between the two13:13
dholbachdaniel@lovegood:~$ diff -u gliv_1.9.5-1ubuntu2.debdiff paste.ubuntu.com  | diffstat13:13
dholbach paste.ubuntu.com |  970 +++++++++++++++++--------------------------------------13:13
dholbach 1 file changed, 316 insertions(+), 654 deletions(-)13:13
dholbachdaniel@lovegood:~$13:13
dholbachso it's hard for me to figure out what you changed13:13
dholbachyou need to be very careful when you edit patches "by hand"13:14
IulianBlah, I'm pretty lagged.13:15
dholbachso I can't say much about it right now, sorry13:15
IulianOk, then I will make a new one and don't remove those lines by hand.13:15
dholbachas I said... the debdiff works fine13:15
dholbachif you remove complete sections in it (say all changes to config.sub) that works fine13:16
dholbachjust try your edited patch on the pristine sourcepackage and see how it works13:16
IulianOk, I will try that.13:17
dholbachthe patch generally looks good though :)13:17
dholbachyou might want to consider forwarding it to debian13:17
IulianThe first one, right?13:17
dholbachyeah, just skimmed through it13:18
dholbachgood work :)13:18
dholbachdo we have any other questions?13:18
dholbachif you're interested in getting started helping out http://daniel.holba.ch/really-fix-it might interest you13:19
dholbachit contains a lot of bugs that are "nearly fixed" :)13:19
bobbodholbach; as i said in the thread on the forums, that list is brilliant :)13:20
dholbachthanks bobbo13:20
dholbachnow we just need to work a bit to get those 1200+bugs down to 0 :)13:20
dholbachany questions? :)13:21
Iuliandholbach: Should I ask RainCT to try the first .debdiff ? I'm gonna forward it to debian but shouldn't be uploaded to Ubuntu first?13:21
IulianAlso I forwarded bug 196872 to debian as well.13:21
dholbachIulian: we can upload it to ubuntu no problem, just make sure we get the packages in sync soon again13:22
* Iulian fixed two bugs this week which are already uploaded.13:22
* dholbach hugs Iulian13:22
dholbachgood work13:22
Iuliandholbach: Ok, I will take care of it.13:22
dholbachrock on13:22
* Iulian hugs dholbach back13:22
IulianI still wainting for an answer from siretart on bug 19829813:23
IulianI think that patch is ready too.13:23
IulianBut I will wait for Reinhard's comment.13:23
Iulians/I still wainting/I'm still waiting13:25
dholbachIulian: where and how is the icon installed?13:26
Iuliandholbach: IIRC the icon was in the source directory. I took the icon and converted to .xpm 32x3213:27
dholbachbut the patch does not install the .xpm in the new package, does it?13:27
IulianHmm, it doesn't?13:28
IulianLet me take a look at it again.13:28
IulianYou're talking about the nxtvepg package right?13:28
dholbachyes13:29
Iuliandholbach: I've added dh_install debian/nxtvepg.desktop /usr/share/applications and dh_desktop to install the icon.13:30
IulianDid I missed something?13:30
IulianAlso the .desktop file looks good.13:30
dholbachyou don't      dh_install         the .xpm file, do you?13:30
IulianNop13:31
IulianI don't.13:31
dholbachdaniel@bert:~$ less /var/cache/pbuilder/result/nxtvepg_2.7.6-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb | grep .xpm13:32
dholbachdaniel@bert:~$13:32
dholbachit'd make sense to have it in /usr/share/pixmaps or something13:32
IulianAnd how do I change it?13:33
dholbachdh_install debian/nxtvepg.xpm /usr/share/pixmaps  ?13:33
IulianInstead of dh_install debian/nxtvepg.desktop /usr/share/applications ?13:34
Amaranthno, you want both of those13:34
dholbachno, both13:34
IulianI thought so.13:34
dholbachgreat :)13:34
IulianI'm doing the changes now and will submit a new debdiff.13:35
dholbachrock on13:35
dholbachany other questions? :)13:36
* Iulian hugs dholbach!13:36
dholbach:-)13:36
dholbachit's also great some of you are into 5-a-day :)13:36
bobbodholbach; can we ask questions about bugsquad/5-a-day?13:36
dholbachhehe13:37
dholbachsure13:37
IulianOh wait, before you upload the patch from bug #199201 please let me make a new debdiff. I said in the changelog Move homepage field... but I actually add it.13:37
bobbo(just a small one) how often are the stats updated on your server?13:37
dholbachIulian: I'll leave it to siretart - no problem13:37
Iuliandholbach: Not that bug, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gliv/+bug/19920113:38
dholbachbobbo: a couple of times a day... the timestamp is on the bottom of the page13:38
* bobbo goes to look13:38
dholbachIulian: ah ok - well it's in the sponsoring queue so will be dealt with :)13:39
bobbohehe hadn't seen that before, thanks :)13:39
dholbachbobbo: every hour (just checked)13:39
Iuliandholbach: Ok, thank you.13:39
* Iulian is afk - lunch13:39
dholbachanytime13:39
dholbachIulian: enjoy it13:40
IulianThanks13:40
dholbachdo we have any other questions? anybody else on their path towards MOTU :)13:40
dholbachok... if there are no other questions, I'll do it like Iulian and go out for lunch myself13:43
