leleobhzwhen i make my packages i must to use current or unstable version (this case, hardy+1)00:07
sistpotyyes, or build and test them in a chroot00:08
leleobhzsistpoty: ok, but i must use stable (hardy) or hardy+1 on this case00:08
ScottKLaney: If you can offer a good technical rationale, it should be fine.00:08
wgrantleleobhz: You must build the package in an Intrepid environment.00:09
sistpotyleleobhz: well, you'll need to build the packages for intrepid (e.g. in an intrepid pbuilder, or in a clean intrepid chroot)00:09
wgrantWhether chroot or real.00:09

mathiazKoon: looking at the lsdiff, there are lots of files in .deps/17:29
Koonbut there are lots of things outside .deps too. Maybe the result of the same problem17:29
mathiazKoon: probably related - most of the file are files autogenerated by the autoconfigure tools17:29
mathiazKoon: Makefile, config.status, config.h, etc...17:30
Koonmathiaz: Ok, I will look into it from that angle17:30
mathiazKoon: yeah - read up on the autotools-dev package so that you start to grasp the issue with it17:31
Koonmathiaz: ok then, do you mind if I handle the icecast2 merge (will be a sync request, more than probably)17:31
mathiazKoon: then you can look into the patch, using filterdiff to remove the files that are not necessary17:31
mathiazKoon: np - go ahead please.17:31
mathiazKoon: did you go through all the list I sent you ?17:32
Koonmathiaz: not all the list. I started a couple of hours ago.17:33
mathiazKoon: ok - so far did you find the merge difficult ?17:33
cyberixnorsetto: back17:34
mathiazKoon: I ask that because I've tried to pick merges that *seemed* easier than others.17:34
cyberixnorsetto: Is that shorter download url form a convention?17:34
Koonmathiaz: no, they were quite simple cases17:34
cyberixnorsetto: How did you run lintian?17:34
cyberixnorsetto: I could not get that error17:35
norsettocyberix: did you run it on the binary?17:35
bddebianHeya geser17:35
cyberixnorsetto: on the deb-file?17:36
cyberixAlso, is there some tool for just validating the man page?17:37
cyberixdirectly17:37
norsettocyberix: yes, on the deb or better yet on the binary changes17:38
cyberixI used it on the deb17:41
cyberixBut I have no idea what is wrong17:41
cyberixI would need some(one) or tool to tell me more about the problem17:42
Laneycyberix: lintian -i will give you more info17:42
mathiazKoon: was the documentation I've pointed you to useful ?17:44
Koonmathiaz: yes. Note that the two wikipages are the same, in fact17:45
mathiazKoon: the content has been merged now ?17:46
mathiazKoon: I haven't looked at them precisely17:46
Koonmathiaz: apparently. The MOTU one redirects to the other one.17:47
mathiazKoon: oh - that has been done recently then - good :)17:47
norsettocyberix: I think its the (c) character17:48
cyberixI realize that17:48
cyberixBut there should be nothing wrong with it17:48
mathiazKoon: I'm planing to publish such lists of easy merges in order to get people started in merging.17:48
cyberix"* New Homepage field for upstream web sites." I already used that field with some earlier packages. I hope I didn't break anything.17:49
mathiazKoon: that's why I wanted to have your feedback on the level of difficulty I've chosen17:49
norsettocyberix: well, using nroff your manpage shows this: Copyright © 200517:49
cyberixInterresting17:51
Koonmathiaz: I guess packages where you merge from the same upstream version are the easiest17:51
cyberixvim shows it correctly17:51
cyberixSo does cat17:51
mathiazKoon: well - I've opted to compare the changelog actually17:52
mathiazKoon: looking at the changelog in Ubuntu and Debian17:52
Koonmathiaz: ok17:52
mathiazKoon: that gives a first idea at the work that may be required.17:52
mathiazKoon: I'll also add some metrics (such as diffstats and lsdiff)17:53
mathiazKoon: and the list of conflicts from the potential merge17:53
mterryI want to add a simple patch to a package which doesn't use a patch system right now. I tried adding cdbs's simple-patchsys.mk, but when I try to run cdbs-edit-patch, I get: "target file `clean' has both : and :: entries.  Stop."  Is there a way to easily add simple-patch without overhauling the various targets already in debian/rules?  If not, how do I make the two clean's play nice?17:53
cyberixman pages require you to specify encoding in some way?17:54
mathiazKoon: all these information should help giving a rough idea about the level of difficulty of a merge17:54
cyberixI don't do that, because I could not find a way to do it.17:54
Koonmathiaz: the doc from autotools-dev is really interesting. thanks for pointing that out17:54
james_wmterry: if the package doesn't use cdbs then you won't be able to use cdbs-simple-patchsys, sorry.17:54
mathiazKoon: yeah - I've read the README.Debian a couple of times and still haven't grasped all the details in there.17:55
persiamterry: You're better off using dpatch or quilt if you're not using all of CDBS.  Of the two, dpatch has better documentation (both externally and in patches), and quilt is more flexible about handling conflicts.17:55
persiajames_w: Well, it's possible to use only part of CDBS, but it makes kittens cry...17:55
mterrypersia: I'm not trying to solve kitten sadness syndrome here.  I just want a patch.  :)17:57
persiamterry: OK.  Using part of CDBS will make you cry :)17:58
mterrypersia: Fair17:58
persiaJust use dpatch.  There's a nice dpatch.mk you can include, and you can use dpatch-edit-patch to edit the patch.  Just remember to add a patch comment to every dpatch.17:58
* mterry reads a dpatch howto17:59
cyberixnorsetto: Also man shows the text correctly17:59
cyberixAlso I can't get lintian to notice the error anymore18:01
cyberixlintian did complain with the previous upstream version18:02
cyberixnorsetto: What options did you pass to lintian?18:02
norsettocyberix: just use (c) and we get rid of it18:06
cyberixThats what the japanese people do? :-D18:09
cyberixThis might be an error in lintian.18:10
cyberixactually18:10
cyberixI don't get that error18:10
cyberixSo there just might be nothing wrong18:11
norsettocyberix: I'm getting that character when I use man, so there is something definetively wrong18:11
cyberixInterresting18:12
=== leleobhz is now known as init
cyberixso lintian works differently on different systems18:12
cyberixAre you sure you don't have the old version of my package?18:12
=== init is now known as leleobhz
cyberix0.1.518:13
cyberixshould be correct18:13
norsettocyberix: I used your link, so unless you have given the old link ...18:13
cyberixThe software itself says 0.1.3, but that is just because the software has not changed since18:14
cyberixMaybe I should change that, just for sake of clarity18:15
norsettocyberix: and thats the diff wrt the previous version: -Copyright 2005, 2006 Research Institute for the Languages of Finland +Copyright © 2005, 2006 Research Institute for the Languages of Finland18:15
cyberixThe copyright version in the old original was broken.18:15
cyberixSo I considered removing it just for the package.18:16
cyberixBut then I decided to fix it upstream18:16
norsettocyberix: yes, you should definetively change the version in the script18:16
cyberixI'll do that, but first I want to get the man page thing sorted out.18:17
cyberixWhich locale do you use?18:17
norsettocyberix: en_US.UTF-818:17
cyberixso do I18:17
cyberixnorsetto: what does "file mi2svg.man" tell you?18:18
norsettocyberix: ASCII troff or preprocessor input text18:19
cyberixmi2svg.man: UTF-8 Unicode troff or preprocessor input text18:19
norsettocyberix: I edited it to check with (c)18:20
cyberixWell get the original one18:20
cyberixAnd make sure lintian still complains about it18:21
Kopfgeldjaegershould i install files within debian/rules or with an install file (mostly data files)?18:28
Kopfgeldjaeger(mostly, but not only)18:28
=== asac_ is now known as asac
lukehasnonamehttp://xkcd.com/351/18:41
lukehasnonamewrong tab sry18:41
* persia recommends Kopfgeldjaeger install data files with dh_install and debian/install before heading off for several hours18:42
Kopfgeldjaegerthanks18:42
cyberixnorsetto: "man -d mi2svg.man" may tell us why your "man mi2svg" fails to display the character correctly.18:46
cyberixnorsetto: It seems that nroff is not supposed to display it correctly.18:46
