wgrantRight.00:00
wgrantWhich is still a problem.00:00
ScottK-laptopThat's clearly a use restriction.00:00
nxvlneed to run00:00
nxvlbbl00:00
ArcScottK-laptop: that is akin to saying that the GPL restricts distribution00:00
wgrantIt does!00:00
Arcthen the GPL shouldn't comply with the DFSG00:01
* cody-somerville doesn't think we need to be having a "yes, it does" "no, it doesn't" pissing match in -motu.00:01
ScottK-laptopuse restriction != distribution restriction.00:01
Arccody-somerville: I agree.00:01
ScottK-laptopcody-somerville: There is no #ubuntu-legal, so where then?00:01
ScottK-laptopGotta run.00:01
ArcScottK-laptop: Ubuntu has a technical council for this reason.00:01
wgrantThere's little point invoking the TB without having a discussion first.00:03
ArcI guess I've gotten as much about MOTU's processes that I'm going to00:07
Arcthanks for the link guys00:07
mok0REVU seems not to consider reviews by contributors, packages are still in "new", not in "needs work"00:13
RainCTmok0: yep, that's a feature00:14
mok0RainCT: why?00:14
mok0RainCT: seems like a misfeature to me :-)00:15
mok0So we should go through and post a comment so they move to the needs-work category?00:16
RainCTmok0: rationale: contributors may be wrong, and having their comments move the package down to "needs work" may a) discourage them from commenting if they are not sure and b) annoy the uploader if someone posts a wrong comment (point c) would be that evil guys could move all uploads down, but I think/hope this wouldn't happen anyway :))00:18
RainCTmok0: the real reason though is that it isn't possible with the current design (as it's either advocate or move down)00:18
RainCTmok0: I'm not sure if the rationale is really good and there are plans to change the design so that MOTUs can post non-advocating positive comments so you even have a chance to get this changed :)00:20
mok0RainCT: It just seems there are a whole bunch of packages that actually need work, and contributors comments seem pretty sensible.00:22
mok0RainCT: I think uploaders may not have discovered that there is work to do00:23
mok0RainCT: In any case, there is an incredible amount of packages in REVU. Seems there has not been much turnaround in REVU this cycle.00:23
RainCTmok0: feel free to raise this on ubuntu-motu@ / create a blueprint for it on launchpad.net/revu / whatever00:24
RainCT(^ means the "packages don't get down to 'needs work'" point)00:24
mok0RainCT: Probably should be discussed at a MOTU meet00:24
mok0RainCT: I feel there may be quite differing opinions on this00:25
RainCTmok0: about uploaders not noticing the changes, that's being worked one (there's the atom feed now and e-mail subscriptions mail follow somewhen soon)00:25
mok0RainCT: I've posted a few "please address comments above" comments which move them to the needs-work section --- hopefully uploaders will discover that00:26
RainCTmok0: and on your last point, there were no REVU days this cycle :)00:26
mok0RainCT: yeah I noticed... any particular reason?00:26
RainCTmok0: The current REVU Coordinator hasn't much time and there were no volunteers to help him00:27
RainCTwell, actually persia said there was a non-MOTU one00:28
mok0RainCT: What a shame. It is quite discouraging to the uploaders00:28
* cody-somerville whats the question?00:28
RainCTmok0: indeed00:29

tgm4883_laptopwhen packaging something for REVU, is it possible to get it through with a lintian warning of W: mythnettv source: patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff bin/mythnettv01:51
tgm4883_laptopthe mentioned file isn't part of the orig.tar.gz, it was added by me01:51
azeemtgm4883_laptop: why not use the patch system?01:51
azeemhrm?01:51
tgm4883_laptopazeem, I have the same errors for setup.py and the man pages I created01:52
tgm4883_laptopIf the patch system is the correct way to do it, then i'll do it that way, just seems wrong though01:52
azeemtgm4883_laptop: ok, do you know what a patch system is?01:52
azeemwhy wrong?01:52
tgm4883_laptopazeem, yea I'm using it for other things01:52
tgm4883_laptopazeem, seems wrong because I thought you only use a patch system when you want to fix a file from the orig.tar.gz01:53
tgm4883_laptopnot when adding files necessary for packaging01:53
azeemin general, the .diff.gz should only have files under debian/ when you use a patch system01:53
azeemif you have to add files to the source tree, those should either be shipped under debian/ (if somewhat ubuntu-specific), or as a patch in the patch system when upstream specific01:54
tgm4883_laptopazeem, what about setup.py?  I believe that has to be in the root dir doesn't it?01:55
azeemyes01:55
tgm4883_laptopso I would need to make that a patch?01:55
azeemlooks like it's supposed to be in upstream in the first place, no?01:55
tgm4883_laptopI guess.  I'm not that familiar with python packages, but my understanding would be that all python packages need that in the root?01:56
tgm4883_laptopand that isn't debian specific correct?01:56
azeemwell01:56
azeemit's certainly not debian specific, right01:57
azeemand it's the usual way to package upstream python stuff01:57
azeembut still, other ways to distribute python stuff upstream can be thought off01:57
azeemof*01:57
tgm4883_laptopwell the way it is released is a tarball that when extracted you can run from the directory it's in01:58
tgm4883_laptopnot really an installation01:58
azeemeuh01:58
azeemok01:58
azeemso adding setup.py is improving on upstream01:58
tgm4883_laptopthats what i'm a fixing01:58
tgm4883_laptopyes01:58
azeemso, if there's a patch system already, it's reasonable to add setup.py as a patch01:58
tgm4883_laptopwell I added the patch system, but as long as adding setup.py as a patch seems reasonable then i'll do it01:59
tgm4883_laptopI was just confused a little on what should and should not be a patch01:59
RAOFAny change outside debian/, when you're using a patch system :).02:00
RAOFSo that you can send a patch upstream.  It doesn't really matter that you're adding a whole file; upstream is likely to want to see that change as a patch anyway.02:01
tgm4883_laptopRAOF, ok will do.02:01
tgm4883_laptopOne more question, slightly related02:01
tgm4883_laptopthis program is a command line program.  I'm adding a gui to it.  Would it be better to have the gui as a separate package?02:02
azeemhrm02:02
azeemdepends on how involved "adding a gui to it" is, I guess02:02
RAOFAre you adding this GUI as an Ubuntu patch?02:02
tgm4883_laptopi've let upsteam know about the gui, and they are interested in it.  But i'm not sure that they will want to bundle the two together02:03
tgm4883_laptopRAOF, at the moment, it's a separate app02:03
tgm4883_laptopI guess the real question is02:03
RAOFWith a separate source tree?02:03
azeemthat sounds like something you should figure out upstream02:03
tgm4883_laptopif they do decide to bundle them together for future releases, how hard is it to kill the -gui package in the repos?02:03
tgm4883_laptopthe -gui app lifts out of the command line app really easy02:04
RAOFSplitting a source package is a tradeoff between annoying the archive admins and annoying the users ;)02:04
tgm4883_laptopit just parses output from the command line app02:04
tgm4883_laptopcurrently it's a separate branch and everything02:04
RAOFThat sounds like it wants to be an entirely separate source package, really.02:05
tgm4883_laptopIMO, they should be offered seperatly to offer less bloat.02:06
tgm4883_laptopalthough we're not talking very big packages02:06
tgm4883_laptopazeem, RAOF thanks for the clarifications on those issues02:07
tgm4883_laptopRAOF, azeem, I just ran into a small problem on the patch that we were just talking about regarding setup.py02:11
tgm4883_laptopIn order to build, i have to apply the patch.  But if the patch is applied, I get the lintian warning when building02:12
tgm4883_laptopso i'm not really sure what to do with this catch 2202:12
RAOFtgm4883_laptop: You need to remove the file in clean:, then.  Because patches won't remove files, IIUC.02:13
tgm4883_laptopthere is no clean using cdbs?02:16
tgm4883_laptopi'm probably confused here02:16
RAOFOf course there is; it's just implemented by cdbs.02:16
RAOFYou can write a clean:: target, though.02:16
RAOFThe double-: means "Append this on the end of the existing clean: target"02:16
tgm4883_laptopah, and that goes in rules02:17
* tgm4883_laptop is slowly getting all this packaging down02:17
tgm4883_laptopthanks RAOF, i'll look into doing that02:18
azeemtgm4883_laptop: just remove it locally02:19
azeemand let the patch system handle it02:19
RAOFazeem: Will unpatch: remove the file?02:20
tgm4883_laptopazeem, I can't remove it locally, otherwise I get an error about setup.py not being there02:20
azeemhrm02:20

=== Davo_Dinkum is now known as orly_owl
dholbachgood morning05:33
ScottKNCommander: Look at the bugs in the various backports projects and then build and test that them.  For backports, the standard is builds, intalls, and runs.05:38
NCommanderAh05:38
NCommanderThat's easy enough ;-)05:38
ScottKNCommander: Then you mark the bug confirmed and an ubuntu-backporter will review it for approval.05:38
ScottKYes.05:38
ScottKThe trick is that if any modifications to the package are needed, then you need to have a core-dev do the upload, even for a universe package.05:39
NCommanderO_o?05:40
NCommanderWhy's that05:40
ScottKBecause source backports are discouraged.  The archive admins have a script they use for semi-automated backporting.05:40
NCommanderoh I see05:40
ScottKI think they want to keep potentially disruptive backports to a minimum.05:41
ScottKDecision was made before my time, but at least there's finally one core-dev with some interest in backports.05:41
NCommanderThat would be you, right?05:42
ScottKyeah.05:42
NCommanderwhat's your usual workflow for handling testing? (I think you told me once you run intrepid or hardy, so I assume you have chroot fun)05:43
StevenKsteven@liquified:~% schroot -l -a | wc -l05:43
StevenK2105:43
* StevenK should clean some of them up05:44
ScottK-laptopNCommander: For backports I generally just test the ones I could run.  That means Dapper or Hardy.05:44
NCommanderBah05:45
NCommanderThat means downgrading for me, unless I want to run in a VM05:45
ScottK-laptopFor other releases I do installability testing and such in a chroot.05:45
NCommander(I could use a chroot, but that isn't perfect)05:45
ScottK-laptopYep.05:45
StevenKThere is also a limit of what you can test in a chroot.05:45
persiaStevenK: How much cleanup is possible?  I have 19 and that's only for the current and development releases.05:45
ScottK-laptopThat and generally I've got decent judgement about who to believe when it comes to backports test report.05:46
NCommanderBTw05:46
NCommanderAny objections if I go close all the hoary bugs ;-)05:46
NCommanderThey seem a little out of date05:46
ScottK-laptopI did manage to break a bunch of people with a bad Flash backport a month or two ago.05:46
nxvlNCommander: ubuntu-vm-builder is your friend05:46
NCommanderubuntu-vm-builder?05:46
StevenKpersia: There is 3 that need to be cleaned, and gutsy* is still in that list.05:46

nxvlno isos needed05:47
nxvlor configuration05:47
NCommanderLVM, or what?05:47
nxvli use kvm05:47
NCommanderScottK-laptop, I remember that, I thought that was an SRU, not a backport05:47
nxvlbut it supports qemu, vmware and some other05:47
nxvli think05:47
NCommanderhow hard is it to get going with kvm?05:47
* nxvl checks05:47

nxvlyou just need the hardware05:47
NCommanderIf you mean VTx05:47
NCommanderI got it05:47
NCommanderJust need to enable the chip05:48
nxvlthen you can tun ubuntu-vm-builder and it even creates a sh script to run the vm05:48
NCommander(Sony's BIOS updates like to disable it every update)05:48
ScottK-laptopNCommander: Nope.  That was a backport.  Lots of people run with backports on.05:48
ScottK-laptopIt's kind of scary given how lightly they are tested.05:48
NCommanderOh fun.05:48
nxvlNCommander: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/kvm05:48
StevenKNCommander: That's what you get for buying a Sony.05:48
NCommander(you didn't answer if I could kill the horay backport bugs)05:48
RAOFNCommander: kvm is really easy as long as you're supported.05:48
NCommanderYeah well, the laptop was 600 dollars off05:48
ScottK-laptopNCommander: Sure.05:48
RAOFYou may be interested in virt-manager, too.  I rather like it.05:48

* StevenK sighs at his sisters laptop05:51
StevenKWhat were Compaq thinking, selling a laptop with XP with 224MB of RAM. It's ... dumb05:51
NCommanderO_O;05:51
NCommanderOW05:51
NCommanderThat's even low for xubuntu05:51
RAOFThat's under Evolution's resident size, here :)05:52
persiaIt's 2% cheaper, and there's a chart somewhere that shows that sales go up when prices go down.05:52
ScottK-laptopI've got an ancient Dell with 256MB of RAM that runs Hardy Kubuntu OK as long as you only do one thing at a time.05:52

NCommander(I was told that I was the first to ever use that method to get bug-control group membership O_O!)05:57
ScottK-laptopnxvl: Nope.05:57
persiaYou can get bugcontrol for having packages in Debian?  That's interesting, but I suppose it's non-trivial to Maintain a package in Debian.05:58
NCommanderYeah05:58
NCommanderThey were kinda confused when I pointed to the wiki page about it05:58
NCommanderIt seems since bug control was established, no one ever used that05:58
persiaDo they still enforce the signing of the CoC?  I know a couple people with CoC reservations who are active in Debian, actually maintain their packages for Ubuntu, and might find it helpful.05:58
NCommanderOh yeah05:59
NCommanderYOu do05:59
NCommanderYour only waived from the five ubuntu bug requirement with it05:59
persiaOK.  That was never the problem for the specific people I'm thinking about :)05:59

NCommanderThe test the bugcontrol guy gives you on prioritys/statusus06:00
NCommanderLP seriously needs a mass bug killer06:01
NCommanderOr a bug shotgun06:01
persiaVery much no, just more people fixing the bugs.06:02
NCommanderI don't think keeping bugs open on backports that have left support is useful ;-)06:02
NCommanderI guess thats a specialized case06:02
persiaRight, but that doesn't need a mass bug killer.  Closing them all is a single email after a few minutes of looking them over.06:03
NCommanderYou can close bugs via email?06:03
NCommander(like in Debian?)06:03
persiaYes, you can do almost anything with bugs via email.  You have to sign the mail to authenticate.06:03

henrik-kabelkaoscdemu doesn't really concern itself with filesystems but leaves that part to linux. it interpretes disc images and serves it as a virtual disc. the kernel driver is quite thin and it does most of the work in userspace. while there are a couple of interresting fuse plugins, none of them offer the quite the same functionality.09:21
henrik-kabelkaosa nice example would be that you could mount a protected MDS (alcohol 120%) image and use fuseiso to access the contents for example.09:29
henrik-kabelkaosThough in most cases HAL would catch it and mount it automagically. :)09:45

gnomefreaks/most likely/most for sure11:29
gesergnomefreak: why not use the Debian packages?11:31

devfil_asac: there?11:36
asacdevfil_: more or less :)11:37
gesergnomefreak: you don't need to go through REVU in that case, just file a sponsoring bug with the needed debdiff to get it build11:37
asacdevfil_: how are you doing?11:38
gnomefreakgeser: i thought revu was for ne packages?11:38
devfil_asac: can you take a look at the xulrunner update?11:38

gnomefreakgeser: ok so a debian package built for Ubuntu isnt new11:39
devfil_20532511:39
devfil_asac: --^11:39
gesergnomefreak: we could sync the packages from debian, see that it FTBFS and upload -1ubuntu1 (no revu involved at all). So we can also skip the sync and upload -1ubuntu1 directly.11:39
gnomefreakok11:39
devfil_asac: ops, 254618 sorry11:40
gnomefreakgeser: its 2ubuntu111:40
gnomefreakdebian used the 211:40
asacdevfil_: how did you produce the the orig.tar.gz?11:40
devfil_asac: using the script on debian to remove nonfree stuff11:41
gesergnomefreak: and as the package comes from Debian, we want to keep the delta small (only needed changes) and not overhaul the whole packaging11:42
asacdevfil_: and how did you get the initial bits?11:42
gnomefreakgeser: i only changed changelog and rules11:43
devfil_asac: from upstream cvs, from FIREFOX_2_0_0_16_RELEASE branch11:43
asacok11:43
gnomefreakgeser: should i use the sync bug and just add debdiff and ask for sponser?11:43
gesergnomefreak: yes (if no other MOTU disagrees about the procedure)11:44
gnomefreakok since im sure not all are around ill do it and lets see what they say11:45
persiaI'd rather see a merge bug instead of a sync bug, but otherwise agree with geser that the appropriate procedure has been described.11:49
asacdevfil_: please attach the debdiff of the debian/ directory11:52
persiaasac: You can't actually generate that.  Do you mean diff -urN old/debian new/debian ?11:53
asacpersia: debdiff | filterdiff -i*/debian/* ;)11:54
persia(well, you could generate it, but it's a mess of filterdiff calls)11:54
persiaJust one?  Hmmm..  OK.11:54
asaci guess so11:54
asac(i hope so ;))11:54
gnomefreakwhere is the sponsorship wiki?11:55
persiaI had trouble with filterdiff -i*/debian/* when I was trying to write code that would automatically generate an update package from an interdiff, but perhaps that was related to some of the test packages, and firefox isn't affected.11:55

RainCTcan someone tell me what http://paste.ubuntu.com/40419/plain/ means? :P14:17
StevenKRainCT: It means nautilus is buggy14:18
nxvlyep14:19
nxvlecho $url > launchpad14:19
persiaIt's a stacktrace and memap.14:19
RainCTThat happens each time I select a file/directory, since some months. I guess that's because I have some libraries from Intrepid, but I don't know which has the problem14:20
persiaWithout the nautilus dbgsym it's not easy to follow, but probably related to a change in the contents of a directory that nautilus had open (which may not be in any of the current windows)14:20
RainCT(may it be because of a library? because else I'm completely lost on what the problem could be..)14:21
persiaIt could well be a mismatch between the version of nautilus and the version of a given library, but it looks like nautilus is passing an invalid object to libgobject, which makes me thing the problem is in nautilus (or an extension), rather than in gobject, gio, glib, or libc14:22
persiaThat said, the bug could well be because nautilus requested an object that wasn't given from some random source, and assumed it to exist because it didn't check, and then passed it on, so the bug in nautilus may be invisible in the case where the libraries match exactly.14:23
TheMuso5~/c14:27

Juli__Can anyone here take a look on the package on REVU, please?:))16:05
persiaJuli__: You'll probably get more looks if you include the URL to the packages that need review.16:05

* directhex prepares another main merge. yay, main16:17
Laneyboo main, yay universe16:19
directhexit's one of those lovely source packages that makes lots of binary packages, of which only 1 is in main16:20
directhexso i need to mess about with merging instead of syncing, purely to get rid of universe build-deps16:20
persiadirecthex: Is it needed in main?  Does something seed it?  Perhaps it can be pulled out.16:22
=== cody-somerville_ is now known as cody-somerville
directhexpersia, it looks like it was forced in for slightly bizarre reasons, looking at the dep chain16:25
persiadirecthex: The split packages are often like that.  Reading the MainInclusionReport can be helpful.16:26
directhexpersia, essentially, monodoc-base is a build-dep for pretty much every mono lib or pluginabble app, as it's needed to generate documentation. so either ubuntu removes all docs (making it worthless for developers) and adding significantly to developer overheads who can no longer sync anything, or ubuntu dumps all mono apps from main (which would make some people happy, but involve ripping out things like tomboy and f-spot), or ubunt16:29
directhexu sucks it up & puts monodoc-base in main16:29
geserJuli__: libjna-java commented16:29
directhexthat's my reading of it16:29
persiadirecthex: Nothing to be done except the merge then.16:29
geserJuli__: btw. is it normal that the Debian packaging has only a copyright 2007 but the actual packaging was done 2008?16:30
* persia thinks that it ought be 2007,200816:30
Juli__geser: Thank you for comments! hm, yes it seems to be a typo from copy-paste. I'll correct.16:31
directhexpersia, monodoc needs a merge instead of a sync in order to keep xsp (asp.net web server) out - since the monodoc source package has a possible http front-end16:33
persiadirecthex: Right.16:34
medo_I'm having trouble packaging a tcl/tk software any ideas of how I should start with it? I have searched the web and the wiki with no clues at all16:35
medo_I am thinking of copying all the needed files into /usr/share and have a script in /usr/bin to run it16:36
persiamedo_: You might want to look at another tcl/tk package as an example.  It's not such a popular widget toolkit these days, so documentation is sparse.16:36
huatsmedo_: not sure I can really help16:36
medo_is this the correct approach16:36
huatsbut I am currently packaging a tcl/tk stuff16:36
huatsI have one ack already16:36
persiaIf I remember correctly, it's mostly text files, so you'd end up with heavy use of /usr/share/$(package)/, but I may be mistaken.16:36
huatsso the package should not be that bad :)16:37
persiahuats: You are an expert: of course you can help :)16:37
huatshttp://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=tktreectrl16:37
medo_yeah it is mainly text files no binary at all16:37
huatspersia: thanks :)16:37
huatspersia: btw if you want to kill some time, you can review it :)16:37
medo_huats: I actually need that package16:37
persiahuats: See above :)16:37
medo_so if u can please keep me updated on its status16:38
huatsmedo_: sure16:38
huatsmedo_: what do you want to package ?16:38
medo_coccinella16:38
huatsoh16:38
medo_an IM software16:38
huatsthat is the reason why I have packaged tktreectrl :)16:38
huatsnice choice :)16:39
medo_thanks for the help :)16:39
huatsbut you'll figure out that you need lots more than tktreectrl :)16:39
medo_hope fully it is easy stuff this is my first package16:40
medo_:)16:40
medo_and it is giving me hard time16:40
huats:)16:40
huatsyou are packaging coccinella ?16:40
huatswhat bout the other dependencies ?16:41
medo_I will have to work on those first I believe but I have just started looking at it16:42
medo_i asked because i didn't know how to start16:42
huatsok16:43
huatsso you might start working on the various dependencies that coccinella has16:43
huatswhich means the various binaries it relies on16:44
Juli__geser: About license in upstream: I'll write a letter to the jna source's owners and ask them to add a license into upstream zip.16:44
medo_ok so they have to be in there own packages as well right?16:44
huatsmedo_: yes, it is better16:45
Juli__geser: But if it will not be easy, may be it is possible to add it somehow through get-orig-source?16:45
medo_huats: ok then I will start working on the deps first and see where I can get. I might come back for help16:46
huatsmedo_: exactly16:46
huatsand if you need an example of tk packaging have a look at my package16:47
geserJuli__: good question, I don't know. It depends if the archive admins accept it or not.16:50
Juli__geser: hm... the problem also that it is freeze soon... I really need this package in Intrepid. I'll write them today. Hope they will accept but not sure.17:07

gesersebner: did you build on i386 or on amd64?18:09
sebnergeser: i38618:09

sebnergeser: seems so :\18:11
gesersebner: ACKed so it hopefully makes it before FF18:12
sebnergeser: thanks and I swear, I never never ever will file a sync request without testbuilding it. Such a disaster O_o18:12

ElbrusHi, I am trying to package a new program called winff19:04
ElbrusUnfortunately I am not able to compile in intrepid or hardy because of bug #26046419:05
ubottuLaunchpad bug 260464 in fpc "fp-units-gtk2 has undefined references due to GtkFileSystemError removal from GTK" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/26046419:05
Elbrusit is written in freepascal (Lazarus)19:06
Elbrushow to procede? Compiling and patching fpc myself before packaging?19:07
Elbruswhat would the upload be worth?19:07
RainCTREVU will now show a warning on the details.py page if a non-native package hasn't got a debian/watch file or get-orig-source rule, and if it's a native package show a notice noting that.19:10
ElbrusBy the way, my (Debian) package is available at http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=winff19:10
ElbrusCould I upload to revu? (The package does not compile)...19:11
RainCTHi Elbrus. You can upload it, but Feature Freeze is about to start so it's probably already to late to get it into Intrepid. And if your getting it into Debian there's no need to go through REVU, too.19:13
ElbrusRainCT: ok, so if the bug gets fixed before the FF it can be included, else it has to wait?19:17
RainCTElbrus: you would also need to get your package advocated by two MOTUs on time19:19
Elbrusah, by the way.. there can be a slight difference between the Debian and Ubuntu version because the package depends on ffmpeg and that is more extensive in Ubuntu.19:19
ElbrusRainCT: exactly..19:19
ElbrusRainCT: That's why I wonder if it would be useful to upload just yet.19:20
ElbrusMy package is now on http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=winff but again, waiting for bug #260464 to be fixed, unless somebody can help me work around that.20:00

LaneyElbrus: Sadly it's unlikely to make it in for Intrepid now :(20:04
huatsI haven't found anywhere the answer : in python packaging .pc file and .defs should be provided in a separate -dev package or not (which means in the library package)20:06
ElbrusLayey: I'll just have to wait than, the same problem at Debian (also freeze) and nowbody wants to comment20:07
ElbrusLayey: it is my first package, I would appreciate some comments in the mean time if possible20:07
henrik-kabelkaoshuats: if you have a -dev package that's where it should go. if not, you're probably fine as long as you're packaging the .pc file together with the python extension module(s).20:18
