beDrungcrimsun: means: When typing I'lI get no spaces nor some letters00:08
crimsunbeDrung: and only in FF?00:19
beDrungcrimsun: I only asked because I could not read his description. but after adding spaces to it, I can understand it. ff is affected at least. we should ask him00:22

null_vectorI'm adding a manpage to a package but the version is 0.7.6-8build1.  What should the new version be?03:15
dusharawhat should be recorded in the Changelog for a new Ubuntu package? (There's an existing debian changelog with many entries)03:17
crimsunnull_vector: s/build/ubuntu/03:17
null_vectorthanks. forgot to mention previous build was a fake-sync hence the weird version03:32
crimsunthat's ok. :)03:32

thrindguys, i am ready to give up control of the wordpress-cli theme09:05
thrindit currently resides at code.google.com/p/wordpress-cli09:06
thrindor should I be trying elsewhere, hints are appreciated09:07
thrindseriously, I am giving this code to you for free, just tell me how to give it to you. I don't want it anymore.09:19
RAOFthrind: This isn't really a particularly likely chanel to want your code.09:20
lagamaybe talk to the wordpress guys if they want it? not sure why ubuntu-motu should maintain your code :)09:20
RAOFAt least, we're not actually (or necessarily) _coders_.  We don't (have to) write software, just package it.09:21
thrindThanks, I'm just asking. Thanks for responding. I'll ask WP, but they had an initial interest followed by a lot of packaging stuff. But thatnks09:22
RAOFA saturday evening isn't likely to be a particularly responsive time on #ubuntu-motu :).09:23
RAOFIf all else fails, you can just leave it with some sufficiently permissive license; if anyone wants it, they can pick it up.09:24
thrindHeh, I tried that; the GPL is included. I figured that someone would at least fork it, but no luck. the kids keep coming back whenever Safari changes09:26
RAOFRight.  The only other thing you can do is have a prominent "I've abandoned this; feel free to contact me if you'd like to work on it, but I'm not going to fix it!" sign :)09:29
thrindNot really. I have supported it for three years but have never had any input, so I thought I'd ask. Sorry for disturbing your eminence there, RAOF. Of course I wanted to be part of the ongoing effort.09:41
thrindbah, upom rereading i was a bit hasty to the affront. Sorry.09:48
RAOFThat's OK.09:49
RAOFIntent can be difficult to read on IRC.  I didn't really notice your affront, for example :)09:50
thrindsince it seems a bit slow here anyway... basically I had made this theme for wordpress (example: http://thrind.xamai.ca). Lots of people have used it, with varying success. Wordpress itself flirted with the idea of offering it as one of their standard templates. But it was not to happen. There is a fan base. The fan base is what I deal with mostly on email these days.09:57
\shthrind: so write on your homepage where you offer your themes, that you don't have any time nor interest to work further more on this, and that it's free for adoption by someone...the fanbase will step up or not ..09:59
\shif not, just leave it on the code.google.com page and let it rot09:59
\shthat's the way of OSS10:00
thrindI guess. It's just that I get a lot of 12-year olds who yearn for a simpler time, I suppose. I can't debug their PHP installs. Maybe the best thing is to put up a big banner of some sort10:05
bliZZardzwhen creating the pbuilder env, is it necessary to specify the distro name(ubuntu-version)?10:06
bliZZardzas in.. what is the difference between "pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd" and "pbuilder create --distribution <ubuntu_version> --othermirror "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu <ubuntu_version> main restricted universe multiverse" ?10:07
bliZZardzpersia, ROAF : you around?10:09
gnomefreakcrimsun: did you already upload flash 10 to Hardy? I have a bug on backporting them not hasnt been pushed since there are questions on how to support it (push asound-plugins or libflashsupport) -plugins is best idea but either way you are closing bugs on flash fixed in flash10 in Hardy so im confused.10:38
gnomefreakcrimsun: i dont have access to a Hardy box yet due to hard drive failed.10:39
lagahas flash 10 been released already?10:40
gnomefreaklaga: beta 210:41
lagayeah, i saw that. with full screen pop-ups. yay :)10:42
LaibschHi11:53
LaibschI am trying a pdebuild, but the dependencies can never be fulfilled apparently because the packages are virtual?11:54
Laibschhttp://rafb.net/p/B8dEuW37.html11:54
Laibschwhat's even stranger is that http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libaqbanking20-dev is apparently not a virtual package at all11:55
wgrantLaibsch: Ensure that universe is enabled in your pbuilder.11:57
LaibschAh!11:57
LaibschThat is probably it11:57

Iuliangeser: By the way, is this mentioned in the policy?15:55
geserrockstar: you mean packages that you have installed but aren't in any repository anymore?16:44
rockstargeser, well, it looks like the package I'm looking for has never been in the repos, even though I thought that at some point they were.16:45

IulianI'm trying to build a package but I get some errors - http://pastebin.ca/1063260 (build log), http://pastebin.ca/1063263 (debian/rules file)22:57
IulianDoes anyone have any ideas how to fix it?22:57
KopfgeldjaegerIulian: Looks like the Makefile is looking for Makefile.config -- maybe you have to create it before making?23:12
IulianKopfgeldjaeger: I do have a Makefile.config.in file, even if I rename it to Makefile.config does not work.23:13
IulianKopfgeldjaeger: It seems that I have to ./configure first but pretty confused in this part.23:14
Kopfgeldjaegerhave a look at the README/INSTALL file23:14
IulianKopfgeldjaeger: I have to run autoconf first.23:15
IulianKopfgeldjaeger: Any ideas how to call it in the rules file?23:17
KopfgeldjaegerIulian: before $(MAKE)?23:17
IulianKopfgeldjaeger: Still doesn't work...23:21
geserIulian: where did you insert it (which target)?23:25
geserI guess you would need to add it to the configure-stamp target23:26
Iuliangeser: Same error - Makefile:1: Makefile.config: No such file or directory23:29
IulianWell, I think the problem is not autoconf, it's Makefile.23:31
* Iulian has to ./configure it before make23:34
IulianNo idea how to write that in the rules file.23:34
geserput it before "touch configure-stamp" into the configure-stamp target23:35
IulianSame crap...23:36
IulianThis is how it looks the debian/rules file now - http://pastebin.ca/106332323:40
IulianIt doesn't change anything...23:41
* Iulian is confused and asleep23:41
geserIulian: does it work when you do this steps manually?23:42
Iuliangeser: I tried that few days ago and it worked iirc. Let me try it again.23:42
Iuliangeser: Yea, it's working...23:44
geserand the same steps inside debian/rules don't work?23:45
Iuliangeser: Maybe I'm missing something but don't know what.23:46
