IntuitiveNippleI have an interesting packaging bug with xorg-server (hardy). A patch (21_glx_align_fixes) modifies ./configure.ac, *but* ./configure is not rebuilt, and ./configure isn't patched to match. This causes a FTBFS for the xdmx module, so that in turn was disabled (debian/rules ... --disable-dmx) as the 'fix' - the real fix would be to either patch ./configure or ship the package with the regenerated ./configure. How should this kind of issue07:46
IntuitiveNipple be dealt with?07:46
StevenKAlso patch configure in the same patch by regenerating ./configure with the *same* autoconf version07:48
IntuitiveNippleStevenK: Thanks07:49
directhexregenerate configure, distribute as a patch. that's how the packages i work with do it07:49
IntuitiveNippleI thought that would be it, but it can get confusing, all the levels of indirection07:49
IntuitiveNipple2nd question. In the package, it builds some dbus bits and includes <dbus/dbus.h> but  libdbus-1-dev installs to /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h - do all the source-files get patched or is a symlink supposed to have been created in /usr/include/ by libdbus-1-dev ?07:55
StevenKNeither07:57
StevenKA -I flag should be added to gcc calls by autoconf07:58
IntuitiveNippleahhh good point :007:59
IntuitiveNippleand finally... 3rd question. The xorg-server source package, as shipped contains a whole bunch of symlinks, obviously accidently put there by some previous packager (e.g. GL/mesa/main/stencil.c -> /home/david/debian/xorg/git/lib/mesa/src/mesa/main/stencil.c) - should they be removed?08:01
persiaIntuitiveNipple: Nothing in base packages should either generate or depend on anything in /home, as I understand things.  Cleaning that up is probably a good idea.08:14
IntuitiveNipplepersia: yeah, that was my thought :)08:14
BurgundaviaIntuitiveNipple: that is probably david nusinow, one of the main debian xorg people08:15
persiaIntuitiveNipple: You'll be linking your git branch to a bug, and praising it's benefits in #ubuntu-x, right?08:15
IntuitiveNippleperisa: It *looks* like someone was experimenting, trying to fix the FTBFS for dmx - which is caused by the incorrect 21_glx_align_fix patch08:16
IntuitiveNippleBurgundavia: Yes, I thought that, having looked at changelog08:16
IntuitiveNipplepersia: Will I?08:16
IntuitiveNipple#join #ubuntu-x08:17
IntuitiveNippleoops lol08:17
persiaIntuitiveNipple: I hope so.08:17
persiaIntuitiveNipple: Also, where did you stick your patch to get kvm compiling on lpia?  I noticed it still FTBFS in the archives a couple days ago, and wanted to push that.08:17
IntuitiveNipplepersia: you've lost me? what git branch?! I don't have the package git externally visible :)08:18
IntuitiveNipplepersia: sheesh! Um, the source of kvm-74 in my PPA (one of the patches I think)08:18
persiaIntuitiveNipple: You're not basing your xorg-server stuff off the ubuntu git tree?  I'll go find it.08:18
persiaThanks.  I'll see if I can extract it easily.08:18
IntuitiveNipplepersia: let me look locally08:19
persiaIntuitiveNipple: Thanks.08:19
IntuitiveNipplepersia: 1:72+dfsg-0ubuntu1~ppa4h "Fix: add debian/rules build capability for lpia and ia64"08:19
IntuitiveNipplepersia: Inherited by 1:74 of course08:20
persiaRight.  I'll try that against the current version in the archive.  One of my lpia laptops strangely supports vmx, and I'll actually use it.08:21
IntuitiveNipplepersia: If I recall correctly, I added "QEMU_EXE = qemu-system-x86_64" to each of the lpia and ia64 cases08:21
persiaLooks like the git tree is git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server : I'm not sure how the Ubuntu branch is stored.08:21
persiaIntuitiveNipple: Hrm.  lpia isn't 64-bit.  I'll try that, and in the worst case, try shifting it to x86.08:22
IntuitiveNipplepersia: oh, yeah. I saw the 'packaging' git reference but I've been working on the apt-get source package08:22
IntuitiveNipplepersia: No, there are two cases... the statement is added into both08:22
persiaYeah, the apt-get source is a little out of date for X, as X moves pretty quick.08:22
IntuitiveNipplepersia: It doesn't do what it suggests... hence my original confusion when it first came up08:22
persiaOh, so x86_64 doesn't actually mean x86_64?08:23
IntuitiveNipplepersia: strangely... no lol - it is just, if I recall correctly, a build dir or something similarly transient08:23
IntuitiveNipplepersia: The build-logs on my PPA will reveal how it is used08:24
persiaheh.  Right.  Well, when we last talked about it, my only lpia kit didn't support vmx, but Intel seems to have lost sight of the "L" in lpia, so I've a testbed now.08:24
persia(well, it's still low-wattage, but it's dual-core with vmx, which doesn't strike me as trying to save every last joule)08:25
StevenKPower Intel Architecture!08:25
IntuitiveNipplepersia: re xorg-server: hardy ships all the xdmx tools but not the module since it was FTBFS (the ./configure not patched issue), so I'm just fixing it so it will provide the xdmx module (1 or 2 other knock-on effects I'm chasing too).08:28
persiaI don't suppose you could do that for intrepid?  It's more likely to be easy to apply, and more likely to be beneficial to more people.08:28
IntuitiveNipplepersia: It looks as if 1.5.1 (Intrepid) has it fixed08:31
persiaOh, cool.  No worries then.08:31
persiaThanks for checking.08:31
IntuitiveNipplepersia: at least, it has --enable-dmx in debian/rules and I assume it isn't FTBFS08:31
persiaYou'd have to check build logs to verify, but I think someone would notice.08:31
IntuitiveNipplepersia: package xdmx is in universe08:32
persiaExcellent then :)08:32
IntuitiveNippleI've been using the Intrepid package as a clue-stick to sort out the hardy 'mess' :)08:33
IntuitiveNipplepersia: xdmx is allowing me to run 5 monitors on the laptop :p08:33
persiaIntuitiveNipple: USB<->VGA ?08:37
IntuitiveNipplepersia: DFT, VGA, s-video (projector), and xdmx to a dual-matrox 'twinview'08:38
persiaAnd the rest of the dual-matrox is just a headless server?08:38
IntuitiveNipplepersia: no, with xdmx the remote xserver becomes an extension of the local desktop08:39
persiaRight, but I'm guessing the remote computer running the xserver also becomes effectively headless, doesn't it?08:40
IntuitiveNippleonce i'd built the module and got the configuration sorted, I wanted to get the package to build too, so others can use it08:40
persia(because it's granted access to the xserver to the remote session)08:40
IntuitiveNipplepersia: oh, I see what you mean... well, it seems there are several ways it can be done, both with the remote logged in, or logging in remotely. right now I've got 'dual-control'08:41
persiaAh, so the xserver provides access for both the remote box and a local session?08:41
IntuitiveNippleUntil you mentioned it, I'd not really thought about it! I was just pleased when I finally got it to work :)08:44
IntuitiveNippleI'll write up a wiki article on it once I'm clear :)08:44
persiaIntuitiveNipple: Thanks.  Now you just have to find a minion who will mine your wiki for all the good bits :)08:47
IntuitiveNipplepersia: It's called 'Google' :)08:49
IntuitiveNippleand, there's only 'good' bits on my wiki!08:49
persiaIntuitiveNipple: Well, I'd say 80% : you move quickly enough that there's sure to be a fair bit of bitrot.08:50
persiaAnd my only issue with Google is that it doesn't have the patience to push the patches back to Debian and upstream :)08:51
IntuitiveNippleit's only a matter of time :)08:52
persiaheh.  I suppose.08:53
IntuitiveNipplefunny you should mention that, actually. with the thread on the -devel mailing list I was working out an AI-based upstream patch submitter... give it a couple of 'best practice' bugs to to follow and then it'll figure it out for new bugs that have Ubuntu patches08:54
norsetto\sh: around?08:55
persiaNifty.  That would certainly solve some of the Ubuntu patch discussions, and probably be of inestimable value to you in not having to forward-port stuff.08:55
volkrisHow do I package a program that is distributed in multiple source files?09:30
persiavolkris: In multiple source packages.09:31
persiaFor example, consider a game that has separate upstream releases for the server, the artwork, the engine, the module, and the sound server.09:32
persiaThis would be 5 different source packages, and probably 7-8 binary packages, depending on the contents of the source packages, and how they should be installed.09:32
persiaIn my example, you could then add new packages for other contributed scenarios or artwork, and it would still work.09:33
volkriscan you think offhand of a package that does this?09:33
persiauqm, uqm-content, uqm-voices, and uqm-music.09:34
volkrisI'll read up. Thanks.09:34
persiaThat's multiverse, but it's the package like that I've touched the most.09:34

IntuitiveNippleDo we have any xorg-server build experts ?11:29
persiaThey tend to live in #ubuntu-devel, xorg-server being fairly core.11:33
volkrisIn the package I'm working on I need to extract one tarball of makefiles and such, then another tarball of code that goes into the src/ subdirectory of the first.11:35
volkrisI don't know that this is the situation persia had in mind when  he said to distribute separate source pacakges11:35
volkrisThe result of the compilation is basically a single executable file, but I don't know how to handle .orig files and such11:36
james_wdoes anyone have a clue what the fix for the build problem in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271919 might be?11:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 271919 in firebird2.1 "Sync firebird2.1 2.1.1.17910-release.ds1-1from debian experimental" [Wishlist,New]11:36
persiavolkris: Ah.  I thought of separate sources that weren't so intertwined.  No good suggestions for that : maybe a fiendishly compliex get-orig-source, or some sort of stacked tarball-in-tarball solution?11:37
volkrisI figured some other package somewhere would have dealt with this matter before11:37
volkrisI've packaged on gentoo pretty regularly, and they  have ways of extracting to specific places in the source tree11:38
volkrisCould repackaging end up being reasonable in this case?11:38
RAOFvolkris: That sounds like the only option, really.11:39
persiaMaybe, although I'd personally prefer to see layered tarball-in-tarball, as much as I generally dislike that format.  repacking breaks md5sum verification against upstream.11:39
RAOFSomething in source package format 3.0 might support you more, but nothing accepts it yet.11:39
persiaRAOF: No.  There remain many options, just none pretty.11:39
volkrisis unpacking of tarball in tarball handled through get-orig-source?11:40
persiajames_w: You might catch NCommander later : seems to be handy with the libtool change.11:40
persiavolkris: No.  get-orig-source would construct your tarball-in-tarball orig.tar.gz.11:40
volkrisI'll look into it11:40
persiaThen you need to add extra targets in debian/rules to unpack the tarballs in the right way, usually into a ./build/ directory defined in the diff.gz.11:41

ubottuLaunchpad bug 275502 in mail-notification "Make mail fetchers recommended instead of suggested" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27550211:41
persiavolkris: Be prepared for someone to complain about tarball-in-tarball, but it's slightly less distasteful than repacking.11:41
volkrisThis is pretty specialized software for running particle accelerators, so I probably won't worry too much about distribution outside of the lab11:42
persiavolkris: Perhaps, but I'll encourage you to share it : other labs might find it useful, and I'd guess that having a somewhat standard system would let you actually focus on the problem, rather than managing particle accellerator drivers.11:43

superm1slytherin, it's very highly unlikely we'll backport this since it only works with bluez 4.x17:47

I specified it to debian/dirs without success, also there path looks weird they go in var/lib/something instead of usr/lib/something of the previously installed package.18:40
esany advice?'18:41
jcastroYokoZar: ok, I was thinking we should invite dan kegel since he's @ google also18:42
james_wes: if you give the failure message then it may be easier to see what is going on18:43
esjames_w: sure thanks:) cp icons/*.png /usr/lib/sympa/static_content/iconscp: target `/usr/lib/sympa/static_content/icons' is not a directorymake[2]: *** [installicons] Error 118:44

esthese are specified in dirs18:45
james_wes: is the cp command in debian/rules?18:46
esyes it's in configure options: --with-iconsdir=/usr/share/sympa/icons18:47
james_wes: the "cp icons/*.png", is that in debian/rules?18:47
esno18:47
james_wes: is it in a Makefile?18:48
esno I made a grep -R and I can't find it :/18:49
james_wes: can you put the build log in a pastebin please?18:49
esjames_w: sure, thanks for your help but err where are the logs usually?18:50
james_wes: you will have to build again with --logfile, or grab them from the scrollback in your terminal18:51
esjames_w: weird the logfile is not created I pasted from the terminal http://pastebin.myrror.net/193818:56
esjames_w: thanks again for your help :)18:56
james_wes: so it appears to be the wwsympa directory that has the problematic command18:57
james_wes: can you pastebin the Makefile from that directory please?18:58
esjames_w: http://pastebin.myrror.net/193918:59
esline 10218:59
james_wes: ah, should have spotted that19:01
james_w*I* should have spotted that19:02
james_wes: it's not using $DESTDIR19:02
esahh!19:02
james_wes: so it's trying to install in to the real /usr, rather than ./debian/.../usr/19:02
esyep! so it should be $(DESTDIR)/static_content/icons ?19:04
james_wes: no, it should be $(DESTDIR)$(DIR)/static_content/icons I think19:09
* sistpoty is off again... cya19:12

james_wit can't find sympa_soap_server-wrapper.fcgi, does it ever build it?19:16
esjames_w:  where should I check out?19:16

fabrice_sp_csilk: I assume that the user requesting the packaging will be able to test it (I'll put it in my ppa meanwhile). Anyway, I'm able to do some things.19:27

lfaraoneHey, is there any way if I have to make a lot of debian sync requests (we already have FFEs for them) to do it in _one_ bug?19:34
esjames_w: well, thanks for your help, tomorrow I'll look into it better. I'm hungry and I my mind isn't working anymore as you can see :)19:35
csilkfabrice_sp,  I wouldn't mind packaging it to be honest, I've been trying to get involved with ubuntu for a while now but it's hard managing a heavy load at university etc etc19:35

james_wanybody have an opinion on bug 275502?21:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 275502 in mail-notification "Make mail fetchers recommended instead of suggested" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27550221:07
* cody-somerville takes a look.21:09
geserjames_w: do you know how common are hotmail/yahoo accounts inside and outside the USA?21:11
james_wpretty common I believe21:12
nxvljames_w: if you are trying to sponsor it, please don't, see my comment21:13
nxvljames_w: i don't want to have all of those packages i don't need in my system if i'm only using one of them21:13
james_wnxvl: thanks21:14
nxvljames_w: also i don't have that much experience with that package/tool but from the comments/report i get that you need at least one of them for the tool to work, but all of them is crazy21:14
nxvlthatfor it will be | instead of , if you want to make the change anyway21:15
nxvli will suggest to talk to the DM better21:15
geserI use mail-notification but with mutt and I don't need either of those packages21:15
ScottKThey are common, but I don't think they'd rise to needed except in unsual situations (which is the 'recommends' definition).21:16
james_wI get the impression the tool isn't very good at hinting that you could install other packages to get the functionality21:16
james_wSuggests is how the package should do that, but it helps if the program does as well21:17
geserI could understand to add m-n-evolution to recommends (as evo is the default mua), but I don't know about getlive and fetchyahoo (it would be for me easier to accepts something for googlemail)21:18
james_wI think gmail is still far smaller in overall usage21:18
nxvlgeser: that's why using "m-n-evolution | getlive | fetchyahoo" will be better, by default it will grab m-n-evolution21:18
nxvljames_w: don;t bet21:19
james_wnxvl: but that doesn't bring any benefit over Suggests, so it's not worth it in my opinion21:19
torkelis it working with the current version of evo?21:20
nxvljames_w: actually there is some apt option to install suggest by default21:20
nxvljames_w: but yes, i agree with you on that21:20
cody-somervilleIs there atleast one fetcher module thingie installed by default?21:21

csilkwhy does the wiki (packaging) not discuss what to do with all the extra files in /debian such as init.d.ex and all the manpage related files?23:45
csilketc23:45
nhandler_csilk: They are example files. If you need them, you rename them (remove the .ex suffix). If you don't need them, you just delete them.23:47
csilknhandler_,  I'm not 100% sure what they are to be honest23:48
nhandler_csilk: For most basic packages, you can safely remove the files. What are you packaging? Or what type of application is it?23:50
csilkan app called megatunix, it's a software utility for measuring variious things within a combustion engine23:52
csilksuch as air to fuel ratio23:52
csilknhandler_, ^23:53
nhandler_csilk: You most likely won't need the example init script for this application. Give me a second to check what other example files there are23:54
csilkThank you23:54
nhandler_csilk: The only example files that you might want are the ones concerning the man page, the one for the watch file, and possibely the ones for the menu file and maintainer scripts. None of these are critical, and there are plenty of guides and wiki pages that outline how to create these files youself.23:58
