PMantisHi again guys. I hope someone new will read this and be able to help. I setup my own repository, and apt-get update is complaining it can't download my Release file. Apache logs show a 304 error (not changed). Huh? even if I 'touch' the file, add a package, run apt-ftparchive, etc... same error. I'm confused.01:04
PMantisOk, more news. if I delete the Release.gpg all works, except it's not a secure apt repository.01:10

ethana2Is tremulous 1.1.1 in repos?02:58
ethana2for Ubuntu Hardy?02:59
Hobbseeethana2: packages.ubuntu.com would tell you that02:59
Hobbseeand no, it is now02:59
ethana2thanks02:59
Hobbseeer, not02:59
LaserJocklooks like 1.1.002:59
ethana21.1.0 is not release quality02:59
ethana2...but 1.2 is nearly mythical02:59
ethana2the trem folks put together some good stuff but they're disorganized as heck03:00
ethana2there's a backport at....03:00
ethana2http://tremulous.tjw.org/backport/linux/03:00
ethana2it needs to replace 1.1 in repos, if possible03:00
LaserJockethana2: we're in Feature Freeze, we would have to have an exception filed03:01
ethana2oh03:01
ethana2*sigh*03:01
ethana2wait, they freeze /universe/ repos??03:01
ethana2is this why pidgin's been like 4 releases old for the past....03:02
RAOFNo; pidgin is in main.03:02
ethana2oh that's right03:02
ethana2forgot about that03:02
ScottKDebian doesn't have it either, so it'd have to be packaged by someone: http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/tremulous.html03:02
RAOFAlso, just because it's in Universe doesn't mean its not supported.  We still want to stabilise!03:02
ethana2right03:02
ethana2i'll ask the trem folks a quick question then03:02
RAOFHas anyone else seen build warning from dpkg-shlibdeps when building something against libgtk-x11?03:03
RAOFs/warning/warnings/03:03
HobbseeRAOF: better than that.  it's in multiverse.03:03
RAOFHobbsee: I'm torn about trying for a Gnome Do FFe.  On the one hand, the new version is *a lot* more useful.  On the other, there's a lot of changes :/03:04
RAOFIt also handles errors in plugins better...03:05
RAOF...and not many people use it yet...03:06
HobbseeRAOF: please stick it in a ppa somewhere03:06
Hobbseei'd like to see it in03:06
RAOFOk.03:06
RAOFRepeat after me: we check it builds *before* uploading to PPA :/03:10
ethana2yeah03:10
ethana2like, say... libc03:10
RAOFethana2: Oh, that built just fine.03:10
ethana2oh yeah03:10
ethana2compiler flags03:10
RAOFIt would have been _much_ better if it had simply FTBFS :)03:11
ethana2FTBFS?03:11
RAOFFailed To Build From Source03:11
ethana2ah03:11
ethana2so it threw no errors03:11
RAOFAKA: you suck.03:11
RAOFIndeed.  It threw no errors.  And I think other packages would have built against it properly... just not run.03:12
ethana2interesting03:12
RAOFAnd for added fun, the compile flags aren't set in a pbulider environment.03:12
ethana2Hmm...03:15
ethana2Is there anyway I can set my core OS and utils to stable repos...03:16
ethana2and use beta-stability repos for userland?03:16
ethana2...and hardware drivers?03:16
RAOFNo.03:17
RAOFNot really.03:17
ScottK2ethana2: This is why we have backports.  So that you can get newer apps built for the stable release.03:19
* RAOF goes to fill out some FFe paperwork.03:24
RAOFHobbsee: The new Do is now in the do-core PPA, if you're interested (https://edge.launchpad.net/~do-core/+archive).  amd64 has built already, i386 is yet to build.03:27
ethana2oh wait, yeah.....03:27
ethana2ScottK2: I had all the way up to proposed updates enabled03:28
HobbseeRAOF: sounds like i need to abuse power then.03:28
RAOFHobbsee: Eh.  PPA has become *fast* to build (so fast that I frequently get clock-skew on my nouveau builds).03:28
ethana2RAOF: what percent of their current market would canonical lose by ditchind i386 - i586?03:28
RAOFethana2: Absolutely no idea.  We probably wouldn't gain much by ditching < pentium pro, though.03:29
ScottK2Hobbsee: Would you lease ack Bug #20333203:30
ubotuLaunchpad bug 203332 in claws-mail-extra-plugins "[FFe] claws-mail 3.3.1-1ubuntu1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20333203:30
ethana2MMX?03:30
ethana2RAOF: half the packages already need i686 or greater in repos03:30
RAOFethana2: Code which benefits from SIMD generally already has it; it's also difficult for the compiler to dynamically do SMID.03:31
StevenKScreaming Cindy is *hard*.03:31
RAOFethana2: Alternatively, you could join the x86-64 self-flagellation society.03:31
ethana2Hmm...  I guess what I mean to say is that for all practical purposes, desktop ubuntu requires an i686 or greater03:31
StevenKUsually it involves register brutalisation03:31
ethana2...so officially supporting anything less is less productive than supporting ppc03:32
RAOFBut officially *breaking* < i686 gets you practically nothing, and breaks unofficial stuff :)03:33
StevenKI seriously doubt "half the packages already need i686 or greater in repos03:33
ethana2libc, all the codecs....03:33
ethana2oh, nevermind03:33
RAOFethana2: Really?03:33
StevenKlibc6 is not i686 optimised.03:33
ethana2they compile a version for i686 though03:33
StevenKAnd?03:33
ethana2i guess my final proposal is that the number of people....03:33
StevenKThe default libc isn't i686 optimised03:34
RAOFI mean, we have libc6-686, and all the (sane) codecs use liboil which is a bunch of dynamically called SMID code.03:34
ethana2running ubuntu on pre PII CPU's should be gathered03:34
ethana2...and then we should have a look at them03:34
RAOF(By "sane" I mean "gstreamer")03:34
ethana2liboil sounds like it could be handy on the ps303:35
RAOFQuite possibly.03:35
ethana2dynamically calling alternate code to run on multiple ISAs03:35
ethana2...that's... that's brilliant for the Cell03:35
RAOFYou mean, SPUs, right?03:35
ethana2yes03:35
ScottK2Hobbsee: Thanks.03:35
RAOFAnyway.  I want to make Do rock in Hardy, and towards that end...03:36
* RAOF goes off to read FFe again.03:36
HobbseeScottK2: y/w03:36
ethana2If a package is low enough in stability or has too many bugs03:39
ethana2does it get booted from universe to multiverse?03:39
emgentheya people03:39
ethana2emgent: heya03:39
Hobbseeethana2: no, it's free vs non-free03:40
RAOFethana2: No.  Multiverse is only for non-free code.  If it's too buggy, it just gets dropped.03:40
ethana2oh03:40
ethana2*sigh*03:40
ethana2would it be blasphemy to suggest dropping tremulous?03:41
ethana2emgent: you a web designer?03:42
ethana2developer*03:43
ScottK2ethana2: What would be your rationale?03:43
ScottK2Note: we have lots of buggy stuff.  Usually it's just abandoned with no upstream buggy stuff so there's no hope of improvement that gets removed.03:44
ethana2ScottK2: well...  many outstanding and obvious bugs..  everybody who wants a release quality version has to pick between 1.1 and a feature backport03:44
ScottK2Help us get 1.1 then.03:45
ethana21.1 is in repos03:45
ScottK2Ah.03:45
ethana21.1 is not release quality03:45
ScottK2Oh.03:45
ScottK2So help us get whatever is the right version then.03:45
ethana2there is no right version03:45
* ScottK2 needs to go clean the kitchen. Good night.03:45
ethana21.1 needs two bugfixes backported03:45

_MMA_ethana2: You're planning on getting a Tremulous SVN (or whatever) in the repos?03:49
ethana2_MMA_: the trem folks are disorganized as heck03:50
ethana2_MMA_: and basically what's in repos isn't good enough03:50
ethana2they never took the time to make a solid stable release03:50
ethana2so somebody needs to take 1.1 and backport a few major bugfixes03:50
ethana2...it's coded in C..03:51
ethana2You know, I don't think I'm going to be able to be that person03:51
_MMA_ethana2: We need to sty close to what they have officially released or pull from whatever VCS they use.03:51
ethana2unless there's no conflict in that code at all03:51
ethana2i'll ask03:51
HobbseeRAOF: why do you have 0 karma on that account?03:51
Hobbseehttps://edge.launchpad.net/~raof-ubuntu should be merged03:52
ethana2guys, it's worse than i thought03:53
ethana2anyone who uses a tremulous client that's not broken horribly03:53
ethana2can't play on trem servers03:53
ethana2or the majority of them at least03:53
RAOFHobbsee: !!!03:53
_MMA_ethana2: Thats a problem of the Trem community really.03:53
ethana2yes03:54
_MMA_ethana2: We really just cant start throwing any old patch/mod into the package. tjw or otherwise.03:54
ethana2they use svn, btw03:54
ethana2yarrr03:54
_MMA_Cool.03:54
HobbseeRAOF: hm?03:56
ethana21.1 is hopeless, investigating svn head03:56
RAOFHobbsee: I didn't know I had a duplicate launchpad account.  It's now merged in.03:56
_MMA_ethana2: The problem is the community upgrades their servers with all kinds of stuff and breaks the repo packages. Run a server from the repo packages with the same client ant you're fine.03:56
HobbseeRAOF: :)03:56
ethana2_MMA_: yeah03:57
_MMA_ethana2: And I would further say this work should be coordinated with the debian-games team which absorbed the Ubuntu one. AFAIK.03:57
ethana2Is there a way to have a package that doesn't exist in stable repos?03:57
ethana2..but does in backports03:58
ethana2..or proposed?03:58
_MMA_ethana2: PPA03:58
ethana2sorry, what's PPA again, i forgot03:58
_MMA_But that unofficial and doesnt really benefit all.03:58
_MMA_Personal Package Archive03:59
ethana2ah03:59
_MMA_I watch the Trem community close and regardless of how slow they are going they are active. It's best to wait for a official release. Or at lease a stable SVN revision that's acceptability to Debian as well.04:01
ethana2hmm04:04
HobbseeRAOF: is there any point in the plugins if i don't use rhythmbox or amarok?04:04
ethana2Well, 1.2 should be out sometime during the Year of the Linux Desktop04:04
ethana2with all Ubuntu is doing, that should be around 200904:04
RAOFHobbsee: _Yes_.  There's a shiny new launchpad plugin, the OpenSearch plugin for web searching, and a bunch of other plugins.04:06
HobbseeRAOF: right, thought so04:06
RAOFThe rhythmbox & amarok plugins are separated out into different packages because Do doesn't yet have the ability to selectively disable plugins.04:06
RAOFHobbsee: What *do* you use on the music front?04:07
HobbseeRAOF: exaile04:07
RAOFAh, right.04:08
_MMA_Hobbsee: Are you using it in Hardy? With the EQ? I get terrible static with any gstreamer app that uses the EQ. :-/04:09

ethana2i'm a glutton for punishment05:12
ethana2i'd settle for getting this rig off of userful, it's not letting me do what I need to do05:12

RAOFAs long as neither is using a blob, I think the answer is yes.05:14
ethana2sweet05:14

ethana2I'm not talking about languages05:51
ethana2I'm saying the 'window' paradigm isn't something i want to touch05:51
ethana2let me get you a link05:51
ethana2http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52113105:52
ubotuGnome bug 521131 in general "Merge gnome panel and window decorator, reimplement standard window components and decorations as panel applets." [Enhancement,Unconfirmed]05:52

ethana2exactly05:52
ethana2then perhaps05:52
RAOFDear nvidia: I hate you.05:52
ethana2did you sign the petition to that effect?05:52
Amaranthethana2: that's so crack05:53
ethana2thanks.05:53
ethana2i'll settle for nothing less05:53
ethana2..which is pretty much regardless of what 'so crack' means05:54
ethana2^_^05:54
Amaranthethana2: i imagine as soon as someone cares to look they'll close your bug as "total crack"05:55
ethana2i've got several people who say otherwise05:55
ethana2it's old though05:55
ethana2that incarnation05:55
ethana2since then i've added a window list that auto-expands to serve also as the window title bar applet05:55
ethana2..and made my ideas more similar to the current default ubuntu config05:56
Amaranthis "over my dead body" reason enough to vote down an idea or close a bug report?05:57
Amaranthbasically "not going to happen dude" but the reason it's not going to happen is because i won't let it :P05:57
ethana2the stuff of flame wars, that05:57
ethana2it's all optional05:57
RAOFThat's not a good excuse :)05:58
ethana2if you want to keep /your/ gui exactly as it is now, fine05:58
ethana2but i want what i want05:58
ethana2and it's not windows, and it's not mac05:58
StevenKSo does everyone else05:58
Amaranthethana2: and i don't feel like writing the code for what you want05:58
ethana2ok, that's fine05:58
Amaranthethana2: so that stops your idea pretty dead there05:58
ethana2if i must, i can hire my own team to do it05:58
Amaranthas a fork05:59
ethana2$10,000 to give people a real glimpse of this idea?05:59
ethana2yes, perhaps a fork05:59
ethana2if it comes to it05:59
ethana2and that's fine at first05:59
Amaranth"at first"?05:59
ethana2yes.05:59
RAOFethana2: So, the first thing I think of is that windows are actually quite reasonable objects: taking the compontents of the window and scattering them means you need to do more work to provide context for them.05:59
Amaranthit'll be "until the end of time" or "until pigs fly and you manage to kill my version"05:59
ethana2*sigh*06:00
ethana2ok, then on to /bringing/ macs into this06:00
ethana2how hard is it for them to connect their menu bar with the app in focus in their mind?06:00
Amaranthdon't bring macs into this, they do little right since OS X06:00
ethana2they do a heck of a lot wrong06:00
ethana2apple is evil06:00
ethana2..but i'm saying you could do many things with my idea06:00
ethana2and people can get used to what they choose06:01
Amaranthvery hard, that was the #1 thing that my grandparents and my younger cousin couldn't figure out06:01
RAOFYeah, my partner too.06:01
ethana2well alright06:01
StevenKThe only reason OS X still does that is because it's historcial baggage.06:01
Amaranthwell, that is "closing a window doesn't exit the application"06:01
Amaranths/is/and/06:01
ethana2ok, yeah that's horrible06:01
ethana2my menu applet would actually go in the window top panel06:01
ethana2what we now call 'the title bar'06:01
StevenKAnd dear Steve isn't going to let go of it, I suspect.06:01
* RAOF doesn't particularly mind "closing window doesn't exit the app", as long as it doesn't leak too much.06:02
AmaranthStevenK: and what would they _put_ up there? :)06:02
ethana2tbh I despise Steve06:02
AmaranthRAOF: it's really bad when safari is chewing CPU and doesn't stop until you exit it completely06:02
ethana2Applications, Places, System, People06:02
Amaranthah, gimmie06:02
ethana2...and that's why bringing them into it was a mistake06:02
ethana2no, slimmer than gimmie06:02
StevenKAmaranth: A banner that projects what Apple products you need to buy06:02
ethana2gimmie went a little over the top06:02
ethana2just a little06:02
RAOFAmaranth: Right.  So that's a safari bug, not necessarily a problem with the idea.  Although the problem of the idea is that there'll _always_ be apps that do that.06:03
Amaranthethana2: gimmie sounds much saner than your thing06:03
ethana2ok, yes06:03
ethana2if they're not going to do anything like that in gtk3, then what's the point of /having/ a gtk3?06:03
ethana2marketing?06:03
ethana2drastic?  assuredly.06:03
Flannelethana2: Version number bumping!06:03
Amaranthactually that is sort of the main reason06:04
Amaranthpeople want to see a 3.0, we'll give them a 3.0 :P06:04
ethana2*sigh*06:04
Amaranthalthough since the hackfest this has been changed somewhat06:04
ethana2version numbers mean little if anything to me06:04
Amaranthnow the idea for 3.0 seems to be to seal up all widgets so you can't can't directly access their internals and release that as 3.0 (since it breaks ABI)06:04
ethana2oh no!06:05
ethana2*sob*06:05
Amaranththen in later releases they can use this new freedom to replace the guts of the widgets with something based on a scene graph06:05
ethana2hmm06:05
RAOFAnd then: cake.06:06
Amaranthethana2: being able to access the internals of a widget is _bad_06:06
ethana2ok06:06
ethana2unless the assumed paradigm is bad06:06
Amaranthit means they can't change anything about how the widget works without breaking compatibility06:06
ethana2ok, well we have the source06:06
ethana2they can do what they please06:06
Amaranththey can't do your right right now, for example06:06
Amaranthbecause it would break compatibility06:06
ethana2not with people literally /dead/ set against it06:06
ethana2i'm aware i may have to fork /every/ gnome app out there06:07
Amaranthassuming they were smoking enough crack to think your idea was worth doing, that is06:07
ethana2they don't have to be06:07
Amaranthethana2: not every gnome app, every app in existence06:07
Amaranthif it runs on X you have to fork it and modify it06:07
Amaranththis is why big changes don't happen :P06:07
ethana2if they don't integrate well, screw 'em06:07
Amaranthyou can't make everyone change and apps that don't look...funny06:07
ethana2they can load all that window decorator stuff06:07
Amaranthethana2: and there go all your users06:07
ethana2nope06:08
ethana2Amaranth: this may be a faulty assumption..06:08
Amaranthethana2: you won't even be able to have firefox06:08
ethana2but you didn't read every last line of that post06:08
ethana2that can be modified too06:08
Amaranthbut you aren't allowed to call the result firefox :)06:08
Amaranthpretty sure it's the same with GNOME06:08
ethana2ok, persistent patch06:09
Amaranthand Ubuntu, etc06:09
ethana2that i can't count on them to not break06:09
ethana2then the mod becomes part of the environment almost06:09
ethana2the app is still firefox06:09
StevenKBut then you can't call it Firefox06:09
ethana2it will be though06:09
ethana2nothing else modified, all the credits in place, everything06:09
StevenKIt can't be, you can't call it Firefox06:09
ethana2*sigh*06:10
ethana2ok then, random 'element', random animal06:10
StevenKHave you read the Mozilla license? You can't call it Firefox, which is why Debian has Iceweasel06:10
ethana2ahhhhh06:10
ethana2i was wondering exactly what iceweasel was06:10
ethana2i'm thinking ...earth angel06:11
ethana2no really though, that stands to be trivial06:11
ethana2heck06:11
ethana2let the user name the app themselves06:11
ethana2or name it nothing at all!  less junk in the title applet06:11
ethana2well, this isn't as directly related to the immediate development of ubuntu as would be proper06:12
ethana2but please don't kill that gnome bug without reading all i have to say about it06:12

cbx33it is a very nice system20:48
bmk789heres the error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60082/20:48
cbx33anyone know if someone has written a wrapper for "cd" that enables you to cd into tar files20:49
cbx33now that'd be cool20:49
kozzI would need someone to upload (sponsor) a bugfix for me in sane-backends-extras20:49
bmk789should i apply the .patch  then create a dpatch from the old and the result from the .patch20:49
kozzhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends-extras/+bug/18016920:49
ubotuLaunchpad bug 180169 in sane-backends-extras "[hardy] /dev missing some entries, others have wrong permissions" [Undecided,Confirmed]20:49
kozzthere is a debdiff in the bugtracker20:50
ajmitchcbx33: sounds like something that should be done with fuse20:50
blueyedbmk789: with a clean source (patch unapplied), do "dpatch-edit-patch good-name", then edit any files (or apply the patch manually), then "exit"/ctrl-d and dpatch has created the patch for you.20:50
blueyedbmk789: you can later edit the patch again.. you should move the patches out of debian/patches before/deactivate them, if they are failing (or you want to just make them), of course20:51
bmk789so with clean source, i can run dpatch-edit-patch and paste in the .patch i have. and it will format it correctly?20:52
RainCTkozz: upload it to a bug report and subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors20:52
RainCTbmk789: not paste, but apply it (dpatch-edit-patch will drop you into a shell)20:53
kozzRainCT: it is uploaded, but will add ubuntu-universe-sponsors20:53
blueyedbmk789: not paste, but apply it: it creates a subshell and on exit creates a patch for you. You can also just edit any files with a text editor (but don't paste the patch into the shell.. ;)20:53
cbx33ajmitch: yeh that's what I thought20:54
cbx33sounds cool though20:54
RainCTbmk789: dpatch-edit-patch will create a copy of the source, apply the patches listed in debian/patches/00list to it, drop you into a shell to do whatever you want, and then if you exit with code 0 (just type "exit 0") it will compare the files to the original ones and generate a patch20:54
cbx33;)20:54
bmk789i see20:54
kozzRainCT: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends-extras/+bug/180169 - looks good?20:57
ubotuLaunchpad bug 180169 in sane-backends-extras "[hardy] /dev missing some entries, others have wrong permissions" [Undecided,Confirmed]20:57
bmk789ok, i got the dpatch made correctly i think, but i got a new error when running "dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us"    http://paste.ubuntu.com/5825/21:01
bmk789should i have made a copy of acidrip.pm first?  i thought patch created a .orig21:04
jdongoh god, oh god....21:04
jdongI left a .bzr in azureus's orig.tar.gz21:04
jdongcrap. Do I fix it now with a repack, or do I pretend it doesn't exist?21:04
jdongwhew false alarm21:08
cbx33hehehe21:10
cbx33jdong: I hate it when that happens21:10
jdongcbx33: I only made the mistake in the 0ubuntu3 release, a jealous use of cp -av introduced a small .bzr (light checkout) into the diff.gz21:11
jdongcbx33: fortunately the orig isn't afffected, so it's very simple to fix21:11
jdongand hopefully nobody saw it :D21:11
jdongI also believe that Azureus was my first ever upload.... so there goes my track record :)21:12
ajmitchjdong: of never breaking a thing?21:12
jdongajmitch: more like of never making a stupid upload.... I think my breakage record is untoppable if we extend back 3 years or so :)21:12
cbx33heheh21:13
bmk789RainCT, blueyed: i got "dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us" to complete successfully, what files should that have created?21:20
blueyedbmk789: just do "ls -lt .. | head" to see them, e.g. *.deb21:20
bmk789i was supposed to edit something else in debian/ wasnt i?21:22
bmk789there is one .deb there but its the exact same version as all the other files21:22
bmk789blueyed: isnt there a tool for updating the changelog?21:24
blueyedbmk789: "dch -e", for editing21:25
bmk789so i use that for the changelog then rerun "dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us"?21:25
blueyedbmk789: use "dch -i", to increase the version..21:25
blueyedyes. it pulls the version from the changelog.21:26
bmk789finished the changelog21:32
bmk789now when i try to rebuild i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5829/21:33
nxvlbmk789: why did you have an empty file "1"?21:35
bmk789i do?21:35
bmk789hm21:36
bmk789o well, fixed that21:36
bmk789idk how that file got there21:36
bmk789but what is the "unrepresentable changes to source"21:37
asacjdong: is b4 backport done already?21:37
jdongasac: it's posted on the sponsor queue, ScottK says he will do it tonight, unless you feel like pushing it now21:44
bmk789blueyed, nxvl: any ideas what this means? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5830/21:44
jdongasac: see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gutsy-backports/+bug/191796/comments/2521:44

RainCTbmk789: PNG files are binary; they can't be represented as text21:45
RainCTbmk789: if you want to add a binary file to the .diff.gz you have to uuencode it21:46
bmk789how do i do that?21:46
RainCTI'll add a page to the wiki explaining it :)21:48
bmk789great, thanks!21:48
bmk789RainCT, blueyed, nxvl: sorry for all the n00bish questions, just hoping i can figure out packaging so i can get some more packages fixed for hardy21:49
=== never|mobi is now known as neversfelde|mobi
RainCTbmk789: heh, no problem, we all have to learn :)21:51
bobboWhen does Univrse get un-freezed (so updates can be built)?21:54
* bobbo just realises it doesnt work that way and goes to read more Wiki21:54
blueyedbobbo: new packages have to be approved manually until beta release21:55
blueyedbobbo: freemind just has been accepted.21:55
bobboblueyed, heh thanks :)21:56
asacjdong: how long do you want to let it bake in your PPA before upload?21:59
asacjdong: i think the changes are similar to the ones required for beta3, so it should still be ok imo21:59
jdongasac: I think it's cooked already21:59
jdongasac: I'd be happy with uploading those two dsc's I posted on the bug report21:59
asacjdong: ok. just asked someone who asked for backports to test your ppa... lets see22:01
jdongasac: cool. I've had about 3 people report back on the bug report postively on those PPA packages22:01
asacjdong: yes, maybe lets wait a few more minutes if the guy replies :)22:02
jdong:)22:02
nxvlis there any documentation on how to make multiple binary packages?22:23
crimsunquite some, yes.22:23
nxvlcrimsun: can you point me to one of them?22:24
LaserJocknxvl: I thought there was something in the packaging guide about that but I'm not positive22:24
LaserJockI can't remember what all is in there anymore22:25
crimsunnxvl: more detail would be useful22:25
crimsune.g., cdbs?  quilt?  ...22:26
nxvlcrimsun: for example apache, is 1 source and multiple binaries22:26
crimsunnxvl: do you want a template, or..?22:29
crimsunIIRC, mruiz has a nice briefer on multiple packages22:29
crimsun(and of course, the Debian wiki.  http://wiki.debian.org/Making_Multiple_Packages_From_A_Single_Source_Tarball )22:30
* LaserJock screams!22:31
ajmitchLaserJock: issues? :)22:34
LaserJocka few22:34
LaserJockbeen trying for weeks to get a resolution on squeak licensing22:35
LaserJockthe guy that maintains the "official" unofficial debian repo says that it's GPL/Squeak license22:35
LaserJockbut it's not clear because there are *3* different files with licenses in them22:36
ajmitchoh well, just get it removed from ubuntu :)22:36
LaserJockwell, I'm supposed to "fix it" :-)22:36
ajmitchbut if you really can't...22:36
LaserJockthen I email the author and he says "oh, it's been MIT for years, there's no GPL"22:36
LaserJockand now a new package has shown up in Debian22:37
ajmitchthen if you're bored, go tackle the huge pile of possible rc bugs :)22:37
LaserJockand it looks nice at first22:37
LaserJockbut I see it's .dfsg. but there's no info on what was removed22:38
LaserJockand so now I have like 2 different upstreams with 3 different licenses floating around22:38
LaserJockand I'm supposed to get this in Hardy :/22:38
LaserJockI so love good upstreams22:39
LaserJockthat's what this is teaching me :-022:39
civijawhat does 'dfsg' mean in package names?22:39
LaserJockit's for Debian Free Software Guidlines22:39
civijaaha, tnx :)22:40
LaserJockit's the rules Debian uses to figure out if software is Free or not22:40
LaserJockso when it's put in the package name it means that they packager did something to the upstream files to make it comply with the DFSG22:40
civijacool, tnx for clarify22:42
james_wgeser: you rock! thanks.23:03
geserjames_w: no problem23:12

chadmillerHi.  I haven't made a new .deb in /years/.  What's the recommended tool these days to boostrap making a new package?  I mean, initialization with example debian/* files and such.23:36
keescookblueyed: what's the other stuff in the debdiff?  conffile stuff?23:36
james_wchadmiller: dh-make23:36
chadmillerStill?!  Wow.23:36
chadmillerThanks.23:36
blueyedkeescook: yes, removes the conffiles obsoleted by 0.106.. it has been reported in a bug comment, so no real bug reference.23:36
keescookblueyed: ah, gotcha, reading changelog now23:39
LaserJockstink, what23:40
LaserJockwhat's the point of having patches if you just make 1, 119719 line one23:41
