| mattismyname | So, I'm trying to build a package of a library (my first try...). This library can make use of other libraries if they exist on the system, but it does not require they be present (libtiff, libpng). My question is...should I include these on the Build-Depends: line in the package control file? | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| RAOF | mattismyname: So this will depend on a number of things. | 00:27 |
| RAOF | 1) Are these libraries required to be present at compile time for them to be used? | 00:27 |
| RAOF | (The answer to that is almost certainly yes). | 00:27 |
| mattismyname | yes | 00:27 |
| RAOF | 2) Is the extra functionality provided by building against those libs useful? | 00:28 |
| RAOF | (Again, probably yes). | 00:28 |
| mattismyname | Yes | 00:28 |
| RAOF | 3) Do those libs trigger a licensing problem | 00:28 |
| RAOF | (More difficult to say :)) | 00:28 |
| mattismyname | Estimate maybe 50% of the users will find the additional support useful | 00:28 |
| mattismyname | 3) Probably not. Libs I'm talking about are libpng, libtiff, and jpeglib | 00:28 |
| RAOF | They'd be mainly LGPL/MIT, yes? | 00:29 |
| mattismyname | yes | 00:29 |
| RAOF | So, generally you want to build with as many dependencies as possible. Librarys are cheap! | 00:29 |
| mattismyname | ok...that is the "rule of thumb" I was looking for :) | 00:30 |
| RAOF | The reasons why you might not want to build against a library are if it's obscure, poorly maintained, or badly licensed. | 00:30 |
| mattismyname | Thanks | 00:30 |
| mattismyname | Another question: The lib I'm packaging depends on "An OpenGL library or the Mesa library". Now, I know how to specify that it depends on libgl1-mesa but how do I accomplish the other half of the "or" statement? Is there some sort of libgl metapackage? If so, how would I find it? I've tried apt-cache search to no effect. | 00:42 |
| RAOF | mattismyname: The pipe character ('|') is used to denote an OR relationship. So, you'd be after libgl1-mesa | libmesa-not-hwaccel, or something. | 00:46 |
| jdong | the vertical frobulator ('|').... | 00:47 |
| jdong | ^^ fixed it for you | 00:47 |
| RAOF | GAH! Dear internet: I'm not interested in gaining a l0nger shl0ng! Please GO AWAY! | 00:49 |
| mattismyname | Hmm...now I'm thinking I can just specify libgl1-dev as the dependency | 00:49 |
| mattismyname | But thanks for the info on the OR | 00:50 |
| lifeless | There will be a short interruption to bazaar.launchpad.net and the ubuntu wiki to deploy a fix for the performance problems. | 01:49 |
| mattismyname | Is there any reason putting a "cd" command in debian/rules would not take effect? For example, after configure, the makefile gets placed in the src subdirectory so I need to cd into that directory for when the make command is issued. | 02:27 |
| mattismyname | I tried putting "cd src" on the correct line in the rules makefile but it doesn't seem to work... | 02:27 |
| RAOF | mattismyname: You need to remember that each (tab-indented) line of a makefile is run in a _separate shell_. | 03:14 |
| RAOF | mattismyname: This means that make runs "cd" in a shell, which promptly changes _that new shell's_ current directory, and then exits. | 03:16 |

| slomo_ | siretart: gst-ffmpeg still works great with latest ffmpeg from experimental ;) | 09:22 |
| siretart | slomo_: yeah, but it requires that 015_build_imgresample.diff patch | 09:24 |
| siretart | slomo_: could you check if it is possible to patch gst-ffmpeg in a way so that it is no longer necessary? | 09:24 |
| slomo_ | siretart: the patch is for adding the deprecated imgresample api to ffmpeg again? | 09:25 |
| siretart | excatly | 09:25 |
| slomo_ | siretart: well, upstream plans to port to the new stuff :) don't know when this is started/done though | 09:25 |

| siretart | \sh: isn't wine in universe? you cannot build depend on packes in multiverse, can you? | 11:24 |
| \sh | siretart: yeah...but mplayer is multiverse...and mplayer is this what I want to change ;) | 11:37 |
| siretart | \sh: err, sorry, you confuse me. | 11:37 |
| siretart | \sh: do don't seriously propose to make mplayer build/test some tools of wine, which won't show up in the mplayer package anyways, are you? | 11:38 |
| siretart | s/do/you/ | 11:38 |
| \sh | siretart: the tools are for converting videos from one to another...the vfw2enc e.g is a windows tool, which can be compiled via winegcc or mingGW...those tools need to be in the mencoder package if this is feasable ;) but after thinking about it, it's bad | 11:39 |
| \sh | siretart: the sources are already in the src package. | 11:40 |
| siretart | in which source package? | 11:40 |
| \sh | siretart: mplayer...i was confused with ffmpeg when I asked you...that's why I said, forget about it :) | 11:40 |
| siretart | if there are tools unbuilt in the mplayer source pacakge, then probably they should be built and installed | 11:41 |
| \sh | siretart: the idea came from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML-single/de/MPlayer.html#menc-feat-video-for-windows <- it's for converting movies into Flash media Files with vp6 encoding ;) | 11:41 |
| siretart | given they are of any use, of course | 11:41 |
| \sh | siretart: well, it needs to be build with a windows compatible compiler like winegcc or on windows with msvc or minGW.. | 11:41 |
| siretart | I know that we do have minGW, no idea about winegcc | 11:42 |
| \sh | siretart: winegcc comes with wine :) I tested it already and it works...I wonder if it's a good idea to b-d on wine ;) | 11:42 |
| siretart | but | 11:42 |
| siretart | for http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML-single/de/MPlayer.html#menc-feat-video-for-windows, don't you need the windows dlls anyways? | 11:43 |
| \sh | siretart: nope..they are built-in by wine | 11:43 |
| \sh | siretart: ah you mean the w32codecs ;) | 11:43 |
| \sh | siretart: they are only needed for running and converting video for windows stuff...but to building those tools, they are not needed. | 11:43 |
| siretart | so we could build those tools, but they would still be unusable without ripping some dlls from a windows installation? | 11:44 |
| \sh | siretart: yes | 11:44 |
| siretart | then it seems to be a waste of time to me | 11:45 |
| siretart | if you want to do it, go ahead, but I wouldn't spend any time on that | 11:45 |
| \sh | siretart: as I said, forget about it...I'll fork the package for my needs and provide a selfmade package for it | 11:45 |
| siretart | too bad that you can't publish it | 11:46 |
| \sh | siretart: well, I'll send the changes as debdiff to LP...just in case someone is interested to go with it...but I won't push it into hardy.. | 11:46 |
| \sh | siretart: the reason behind this is, that I need to convert all types of videos into FLV media with vp6 encoding which will be pushed by adobe into the next flash player at the end of the year (AFAIK)...vp6 right now can't be played with it without any additional software from on2 e.g. | 11:47 |

| mok0 | ScottK: ok, thanks. | 13:54 |
| \sh | packagewise or codeing wise? | 13:54 |
| mok0 | It's got an unconventional debian/ directory layout | 13:54 |
| mok0 | with a debian/in, that seems to hold templates for the "real" files | 13:54 |
| \sh | mok0: which package? | 13:55 |
| mok0 | octave3.0 | 13:55 |
| mok0 | It's the only package that shows up in the "Science" menu item on the K-menu, I want to change that, so it appears in "Education/Math" | 13:56 |
| \sh | I wonder if octave is education ;) | 13:56 |
| mok0 | I wonder if any of the programs in Education is education, but that's where they all are... | 13:56 |
| \sh | mok0: e.g.? | 13:57 |
| mok0 | octave is the only one I have in "Science" | 13:57 |
| Fujitsu | Anything sciency is in Education, because f.d.o refuses to give us a sane category. | 13:57 |
| \sh | damn | 13:58 |
| mok0 | Education has 4 entries: languages, mathematics, miscellaneous & science | 13:58 |
| \sh | mok0: ok...when you read debian/rules, you'll see that it copies files from debian/in/* to debian/ | 13:58 |
| \sh | mok0: depending on the $(VERSION) | 13:58 |
| mok0 | \sh: ok, that's what I was guessing... line no? | 13:59 |

| \sh | I think they were building all ocatve{2.1,2.9,3.0} with the same package layout | 14:00 |
| mok0 | \sh: right, so one needs to modify the files in debian/in | 14:00 |

| \sh | mok0: well, it looks like it just uses debian menu system and no .desktop files | 14:00 |
| ScottK | slytherin: It appears that pyslide needs some XML bits not provided by the standard python. | 14:01 |
| mok0 | \sh: yeah it's a simple one-line fix :-) | 14:01 |
| \sh | oh of course ... desktop.in | 14:01 |

| \sh | Categories=Development;Math;Science; | 14:01 |

| mok0 | \sh: yes. I haven't figured out what it should be | 14:02 |

| slytherin | ScottK: so what do you suggest? Look for alternate APIs and then add patches? | 14:03 |
| ScottK | slytherin: Yes. or as a last resort copy the needed bits of python-xml into the package and use it from a private directory. | 14:03 |
| ScottK | slytherin: Will you look into it? | 14:04 |
| \sh | mok0: you need to adjust examples/octave.desktop.in :) | 14:04 |

| \sh | siretart: so 2.2.4 in debian is already prepared? :) | 17:02 |
| siretart | prepared for what? | 17:03 |
| * \sh doesn't use hbci yet...so I don't know how to enable it ;) | 17:03 | |
| siretart | ah, I see | 17:05 |
| siretart | you'll need this ofx plugin for libgwenhyfar and gnucash | 17:05 |
| \sh | siretart: ok...will read me through the guides and start convincing my bank to have webbanking and hbci | 17:06 |
| siretart | \sh: if all works well, there should be a new menu point: Actions-> Online Actions | 17:06 |
| siretart | try starting up gnucash and see if you have such a menu | 17:07 |
| \sh | gwenhyfar47? | 17:08 |
| siretart | yes, that's the new one | 17:08 |
| siretart | it is linked against gnutls instead of libssl, which was the point of the excercise | 17:09 |
| siretart | oh, that late already... :( | 17:09 |
| \sh | ok...yeah.../me needs to go too :9 | 17:09 |
| \sh | ok..cu later | 17:09 |

| james_w | siretart: hi, where do the gnucash packages need testing from? Are they in hardy or a PPA? | 17:11 |
| siretart | james_w: gnucash itself should be up-to-date in hardy, however I don't expect them to work with hbci at all. updated packages are in the gnucash PPA, which desperatly need testing | 17:11 |
| siretart | see my mail to -motu earlier today | 17:12 |
| james_w | siretart: ok, thanks. | 17:12 |
| nxvl | james_w: hi! | 17:13 |
| james_w | hi nxvl | 17:13 |
| emgent | nxvl: heya | 17:13 |
| nxvl | emgent: :D | 17:14 |
| siretart | james_w: do you use gnucash with hbci? | 17:15 |
| james_w | ah, nope, I missed the point then? It's not just general testing you need (outside of the normal general testing that's always needed)? | 17:16 |
| siretart | well, installation and a small startup is also appreciated :) | 17:17 |
| james_w | I'm sure I can manage that. | 17:17 |
| siretart | the most interesting point however is if online banking via hbci works. TBH, I haven't met any user of hbci outside germany yet | 17:18 |
| siretart | so I was curious if english banks offer hbci as well | 17:18 |
| james_w | no, I just checked and my bank doesn't seem to offer it | 17:18 |
| james_w | I'll write and complain that I can't test your packages properly because they don't support it | 17:18 |
| siretart | it's pretty popular in germany, nearly every bank offer it. However, it seems that most desk clerks don't really understand it :/ | 17:19 |
| siretart | yay :) | 17:19 |
| * siretart hugs james_w | 17:19 | |
| james_w | siretart: starts fine and the wizard runs ok. It's not terribly obvious now how to set opening balances for accounts in the wizard, I'm sure it used to be better. | 17:46 |

| \sh | mok0: building octave | 20:39 |
| mok0 | \sh: ... and that will go on for a while... | 20:40 |
| \sh | mok0: well, don't care...I had to recreate my whole dapper-hardy schroot lvm devices.. | 20:41 |
| mok0 | \sh: yikes. What happened? | 20:42 |
| \sh | mok0: see #ubuntu-devel | 20:42 |
| \sh | mok0: i didn't do an fsck of the ext3 fs on those..and now there were some lvm devices missing because of corrupted superblock | 20:43 |
| \sh | mok0: i fixed it now with recreating, and forcing mk-sbuild-lv to use xfs instead of crappy ext3 | 20:43 |
| mok0 | \sh: I've had that happen to me, but I never found out what happened | 20:43 |
| mok0 | \sh: fsck hosed it | 20:44 |
| jdong | \sh: wait you're trusting xfs_repair over e2fsck? | 20:44 |
| \sh | jdong: no...I'm not trusting any tool which tells me to fix an corrupted fs :) | 20:45 |
| jdong | don't get me wrong, I love XFS and I use it, but "easy to repair" and "resistant to corruption" are NOT on the top of its feature lists :) | 20:45 |
| \sh | jdong: well, tbh i never had a failed xfs fs in my life... | 20:45 |
| \sh | jdong: but many ext2 and ext3 and reiserfs brokeness | 20:45 |
| \sh | (well, reiserfs is now in jail ;)) | 20:46 |
| \sh | mok0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6286/ and my device list grows | 20:46 |
| mok0 | only version 4 :-) | 20:46 |
| jdong | \sh: well I'm gonna pop your bubble and say that I've had plenty of XFS failures, and not related to the 2.6.17 infamy either | 20:46 |
| warp10 | ScottK: sure! I'm just waiting to be added into the team on launchpad. | 20:46 |
| * ScottK kicks nixternal | 20:46 | |
| warp10 | :) | 20:47 |
| \sh | jdong: well, i had my problems during upgrade from 2.6.12 to 2.6.14...where vanilla upstream changed the eit/gpt stuff and broke all >2TB devices we had :( | 20:47 |
| \sh | jdong: but I had never a problem with xfs...strange :( | 20:47 |
| jdong | \sh: ouch. My problems have usually been serious filesystem corruption, often beyond xfs_repair's abilities to resurrect, after a string of improper shutdowns | 20:47 |
| mok0 | warp10: congrats with being MOTUed | 20:47 |
| warp10 | thank you mok0 :) | 20:48 |
| jdong | \sh: of course I'm using run-of-the-mill consumer-grade hard drives and one could easily place the blame on hardware.... | 20:48 |
| * ScottK kicks mok0 | 20:48 | |
| mok0 | *ouch* | 20:48 |
| jdong | but overall I've found EXT3 more resilient, though still not anywhere near perfect, to this | 20:48 |
| \sh | jdong: well, using XFS as main fs (only /boot is ext2) on my desktops and servers I'm quiet ok with it..no problems so far...server side as well...but the server half-life time is around 8 months and 2 years without rebooting (when they are not on the public front of the network) | 20:50 |
| jdong | \sh: awesome. I always find myself coming back to XFS for its consistent performance over long periods of time and superior backup/restore tools | 20:51 |
| jdong | my primary system is currently XFS 100% | 20:51 |
| jdong | but I do have to say that I've experienced massive XFS corruption on more than one occasion linked to bad powerdowns | 20:51 |
| \sh | jdong: and you should try to use ext3 on 6TB volumes...it's a shame that you have to wait at least 6-10 mins or more (depending on the raid controller) to succeed with the creation of the FS | 20:52 |
| jdong | just so that you're aware it's not bulletproof | 20:52 |
| jdong | \sh: oh no kidding, I wouldn't suggest using ext3 on that kind of setup | 20:52 |
| \sh | jdong: well, software is never bulletproof | 20:52 |
| jdong | ain't that the truth :) | 20:52 |

| warp10 | \sh: thank you :) | 21:21 |
| \sh | Matthias_M: as you are not core nor universe member you can't upload to upload.ubuntu.com | 21:21 |
| Matthias_M | dput without parameters uploads to upload.ubuntu.com by default, but it is already rejected (got a mail a second ago) | 21:22 |
| sebner | warp10: great :D | 21:22 |
| sebner | Matthias_M: you shouldn't upload the *.deb ;) | 21:22 |
| \sh | Matthias_M: yes, that's why the documentation tells us, to use the revu part :) | 21:22 |
| Matthias_M | everything around the .deb is also uploaded | 21:23 |

| sebner | Matthias_M: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU | 21:23 |
| Matthias_M | done | 21:23 |
| * ScottK changed his dput.cf to upload to a place called bob after the first time he uploaded to u.u.c instead of his PPA by accident. | 21:23 | |
| Matthias_M | but I can't login at http://revu.tauware.de/ and I don't see my uploaded package | 21:23 |
| \sh | Matthias_M: the .deb is not necessary .. we don't care about binary packages, just the .dsc,.diff.gz,.orig.tar.gz is important :) | 21:24 |
| \sh | ScottK: lol...in the old, dark days of motu, where we didn't have the "ubuntu" upload area as default, I uploaded every now and then to debian :) | 21:24 |
| Matthias_M | I just did dput revu '/home/matthias/.debcreator/gnocky/gnocky_0.0.5-1_i386.changes' and I think the program took care of that (dsc, tar.gz, diff.gz, deb, changes are uploaded) | 21:25 |
| Matthias_M | but it still says no REVU account exists and does not show my package | 21:26 |
| \sh | Matthias_M: you don't use the binary changes file..use the _source.changes file :) | 21:26 |
| \sh | Matthias_M: did you attach your public gpg key to your LP account? did you ask for a sync of the revu keyring to include your key | 21:26 |
| Matthias_M | I uploaded my GPG to LP yesterday, it says there is a 24h auto-sync. | 21:27 |
| james_w | I think it may be down at the moment, I'm not sure | 21:30 |

| Matthias_M | Besides, I also uploaded my package to http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/welcome as Ubuntu is currently in feature freeze, you might cancel my request at REVU. | 21:55 |
