skipperHi, I have created a package for pwdhash and uploaded it to REVU: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=pwdhash It's now almost a month ago. No one is interesting in reviewing or have I to do something?01:55
Laneyskipper: I think we just have to wait. I have one on there too :)01:59
LaneySometimes the MOTUs have REVU days where everyone focuses on reviewing packages on there, maybe there will be one soon02:00
skipperthen I will wait02:02
wgrantSo now we have a proposal for -proposed-proposed. Great.02:03
ScottKwgrant: May as well get -proposed-proposed-proposed while we're at it, just to be safe.02:08
ScottKNo one seems to be jumping on my "Just don't leave proposed on all the time" solution.02:08
skippersounds a litte bit like m*cr*s*ft. they create patches for patches for patches. ;)02:08
=== skipper is now known as bdrung
wgrantScottK: I leave -proposed on all the time, but that's because I can't upgrade to Intrepid like I usually do.02:15
ScottKRight, but wouldn't you agree that's not the general/supported case for it?02:16

falehow can I put a package on PPA that requires cmake?04:10
persiafale: Take a look at some of the packages returned by `grep-dctrl -FBuild-Depends cmake -sPackage /var/lib/apt/lists/*hardy_universe_source_Sources` for examples using cmake04:13
falepersia: my question is: PPA can compile my package if my package to be compiled required cmake?04:14
persiafale: If the package is constructed correctly to call cmake properly, yes04:15
falepersia: :)04:17
falepersia: I'll try04:18
falepersia: I have to upload the cmake folder?04:18
* TheMuso glances over the email about debian policy 3.8.0.004:18
ScottKREADME.Source seems to be the one that will most commonly affect packages04:18
persiafale: I'm not sure.  The command I provided before will give examples of packages using cmake04:18
falepersia: ok, I'll check iy :)04:19
TheMusoScottK: Yeah.04:19
persiaI like the addition of "how to patch this for compilation" to README.Source04:19
* ScottK prepares a macro for "Read man dpatch-edit-patch" and "Read man cdbs-edit-patch."04:20

ScottKI think it's useful for obscure systems but overkill for the common cases.04:23
ajmitch"Take this double-ROT13-encoded patch, run it through this hideous perl filter, reindent it all to apply, and then reboot"04:24
persiadouble-ROT13-encoding?  How does that work for punctuation?04:25
ajmitchwho needs punctuation?04:26
persiaAh.  Right.  I hadn't sufficiently considered the perl filter04:26
ajmitchit's as obsolete as correct grammar these days04:26

RAOFI don't know what autobuilder is, but this doesn't sound like a question about the development of Ubuntu; you may have more luck in #ubuntu or #ubuntu+1 (if you're using Intrepid)07:40

persiaLaney: It's about the same as a merge.  You don't have to do anything, but people get annoyed when you don't collaborate.  Best to check with the last uploader, and specific maintainer, and look for bugs on LP.09:54

persiaruiboon: No, and you wouldn't want one, as sometimes you want to compile with, or not compile with some library supported by the application.11:42
ruiboonpersia: thanks. i guess i have to fill it in myself11:42

effie_jayxdholbach, i was working on the package. I must change conflict/replace to make sure all packages get updated14:11
dholbacheffie_jayx: that sounds about right14:12
effie_jayxI initially thought of libbakery-common but all three packages have to replace ubuntu old ubuntu versions14:17
superm1where's that nifty webpage i saw posted here at some point that lists SRU's and all of their statuses?14:18
dholbacheffie_jayx: really?14:18
effie_jayxSince all previous versions in debian replace 2.3, i was just wondering14:19
dholbacheffie_jayx: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html - you need conflicts/replaces if files move from one package to another14:21
dholbacheffie_jayx: I thought it was only libbakery2.4-common and libbakery-common that had files moving around14:21
effie_jayxDoesn't the package leave the old 0ubuntu1 around?14:22
dholbacheffie_jayx: if you add a conflicts, it should get removed in the upgrade process14:23
effie_jayxOk. I'll try it and see14:25
wgrantsuperm1: Try http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/sru/. The ubuntu-archive one is linked from there, if that's what you want.14:30

amikropCan I rename my package (it is uploaded but not examined) from ueagle-setup to ueagle?15:08
slytherincyberix: did you change version?15:08
amikropI thought it would be OK ro rename it to ueagle, because there is no other Ubuntu package with "ueagle" in its name, so it could not be confused.15:09
slytherinNeurostu: I saw the error message, but tell me what are you trying to do? Make a package?15:09
cyberixslytherin: yes15:09
amikropAlso, there is not much point in appending "-setup" to a package, because what all packages do, is setting up.15:09
slytherincyberix: why? you are not supposed to.15:10
amikropWhen I say uploaded, I mean uploaded to REVU.15:10
cyberixslytherin: New upstream release15:10
amikropSo? Could there be a problem?15:10
slytherinamikrop: You can sure change package name. That way it will have another entry in revu. Make sure you comment on old entry asking to discard it.15:10

YokoZarWell, it makes his program work, and I think it's pretty clear from the post that this shouldn't be done unless you're running it and it bothers you enough17:10

NeurobuntuWhen I run: debuild my package compiles and build successfully into a deb, however it says that my file debian/files has a badly formed line... this is weird because I didn't create this file, what is supposed to be in this file18:27
Neurobuntudoes debuild try to put the .deb into the repository pocket?18:28
persiaNeurobuntu: debian/files contains a list of files to go in the deb.  You shouldn't have created it.  debuild doesn't care about pockets.18:29
Neurobuntupersia: if debuild is creating the file for me why is it giving me the badly formed line error18:30
persiaNeurobuntu: I'm not sure.  It's something odd happening as a result of your debian/rules call.  You might try looking at the file, and compariing with the same file from another package that doesn't have that error.18:31
Neurobuntupersia, ok thanks18:33
Neurobuntupersia, is the files list necessary, i mean will a deb install correctly without it?18:35
Neurobuntuor if it isn't correct18:35
persiaNeurobuntu: Check your created .deb with dpkg --contents.  I suspect it's missing something.18:36
IulianHi18:42
Neurobuntupersia: I don't think so, it looks like everything is in there18:44
persiaNeurobuntu: Hmm.  I don't know.  You might ask someone to review the package in detail, but it might just work.18:45

RoAkSoAxhi guys, does anyone knows why i get this warnings when trying to create a new pbuilder ? The following packages have unmet dependencies:20:23
RoAkSoAx  aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 but it is not installable20:23
RoAkSoAx  libept0: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 but it is not installable20:23
RoAkSoAxand how can i fix it?20:23
geserRoAkSoAx: interpid?20:23
RoAkSoAxgeser, yep20:23
geserlooks like aptitude and libept0 need a rebuild with the recent apt20:24
SniperBeamerpersia: it only symlinks files (except copyright)20:25
RoAkSoAxgeser, how to do that ;)20:25
geserRoAkSoAx: you would need a interpid pbuilder for that20:26
SniperBeamerand lintian complains with debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink20:26
Pennycook_Hi guys, I was directed over here by #kubuntu.  I have a question about using prevu; I've updated to Qt4.4 using backports and need to backport Intrepid's version of lyx.  Given lyx exists in Intrepid, is running "prevu lyx" enough, or do I need to provide a URL, maybe something else?20:26
RoAkSoAxgeser, so should i create a hardy pbuilder and upgrade too intrepid??20:26
RoAkSoAxgeser, libapt-pkg-libc is a package right?? cause i can't find it in the repos20:27
persiaSniperBeamer: You can ignore the lintian error, and symlinks don't take that much space.20:28
geserRoAkSoAx: yes, that would too20:28
geserRoAkSoAx: libapt-pkg-libc is provided by apt20:28
RoAkSoAxgeser, ok thanks, so i'll create a hardy pbuilder and upgrade it too intrepid20:29
SniperBeamerpersia: sure, I just think symlinking the whole dir is a cleaner solution20:29
persiaSniperBeamer: Maybe.  Investigate dh_link.20:29
SniperBeamerdh_link says that the usr/share/doc/... dir already exists20:30
SniperBeamerI didn't find an option that stops cdbs from calling dh_installdocs20:31
JazzvaJust to make sure... Changes to .po files should be removed from the final debdiff in a merge?20:31
geserJazzva: yes, unless they were made on purpose which should be documented in the changelog20:33
persiaJazzva: Typically.  Check the Ubuntu changelog.  Except in rare cases, we prefer Debian .po files.  In those rare cases, you need to merge manually, but should be sure to push the change to Debian.20:34
Jazzvapersia, geser: Thanks.20:34
Jazzvapersia: What would be those rare cases?20:34
persiaJazzva: When there was an error of some sort that was fixed.  Maybe a typo, etc.20:35

wasabiPackaging question: I have a command I want a daemon to run after the daemon is upgraded, to restart the daemon. but it also has to run AFTER some packages which depend on the daemon: and are thus after the daemon22:17
wasabiBasically the daemon has plugins.22:17
RoAkSoAxsebner, lol i was just joking :P22:17
wasabiAfter any plugins are updated, the daemon should restart. Should I implement this in each plugin's postinst?22:18
sebnerRoAkSoAx: /me is too tired to discover jokes ^^22:18
RAOFwasabi: That sounds like the way to go.22:18
wasabiHmm.22:19
RAOFwasabi: Because, looking at it another way, from the plugin package's perspective it's not properly installed until the daemon has restarted; thus, it should restart the daemon.22:19
RAOFFor bonus points you could try dpkg triggers to have this happen exactly once per package-management-session, but I'm not familiar with them.22:20
