chxthanks mwhudson for unbreaking the drupal bzr mirror. much appreciated quick work.01:22
mwhudsonchx: np01:29
mwhudsonchx: it actually affected all mirrors, that kind of made it a priority :)01:29
chxoh :)01:29
chxi thought it's just us, as the git mirror is also broken01:29
winfernoHi, does anyone have time to help me with getting my source package on to my PPA? I'm a new to launchpad.03:15
winfernoFirst off, my PPA URL, as listed on my launchpad page is http://ppa.launchpad.net/winferno/ubuntu03:16
winfernoI get a 404 when I go there, which is a little disconcerting. I don't know if that's normal in my situation.03:17
winfernoNext, I have built a source package per the Ubuntu package tutorial (the source builds fine on my box), and uploaded it using dput. I got a message about an unknown distroseries in an automated e-mail shortly after, but after modifying my changelog reflect the 'intrepid' distro (I'm using the Intrepid beta) I didn't receive the same automated mail.03:20
winfernoFinally, I added the two lines for my /etc/apt/sources.list as shows on my launchpad page to my system. I'm under the impression that at this point I should be able to do a 'sudo apt-get install packagename' and the package will be installed. Is this true? Do I have to wait for launchpad to build my packages? Is there a way to get confirmation that I did my part ok? dput didn't give me much indication and I don't see anyt03:23
ajmitchwinferno: http://launchpad.net/~winferno/+archive doesn't appear to show any uploaded source packages, at least03:41
=== spm_ is now known as spm
winfernoajmitch: Where did you get that URL from?03:52
ajmitchby clicking on the 'personal package archive' link on your LP page03:53
winfernoOk, I see there: http://ppa.launchpad.net/winferno/ubuntu03:54
winfernoajmitch: Oh right, I see it's the URL of the page when you click 'personal package archive', sorry.03:54
winfernoDoes this page become populated the moment you use dput successfully, or only after launchpad builds the source package in to binary packages?03:55
Hobbseethe latter03:55
winfernoIs there any indication of success in the dput stage? And how long will the build take for a 'hello world' test?03:57
arjenAUanyone.... what's the usual process/timeline for getting a mailing list on a team approved? (I do realise it's still wkend in many places, so no worries really)04:01
winfernoOk, I've received an automated message saying section 'unknown' isn't valid. Should I change my package's debian/control file to say something besides 'unknown'? 'optional' maybe?04:01
Hobbseewinferno: yes04:06
Hobbseethere are a list of valid sections04:07
winfernoI changed it to 'main' =/04:08
Hobbseewinferno: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-subsections04:08
Hobbseemain probably won't work04:08
winfernoI see.. I'll try graphics (appropriate sounding for what I'm working on).04:09
winfernoDoes 'login = anonymous' sound right in my ~/.dput.cf file? That's from the launchpad site, I'd just expect it to me my launchpad username.04:11
rockstarwinferno, that's correct.04:11
Hobbseeyes04:12
Hobbseethe dput instructions, at least from intrepid onwards, should be more than clear04:13
winfernodput doesn't seem to be complaining, I think it's that I'm new to Ubuntu packaging (and Debian packaging), and so those details are what I'm struggling with.04:15
Hobbseewinferno: dput has no idea if it was accepted by the server or not04:16
Hobbseewinferno: it just knows if it's sent the files somewhere.04:16
Hobbsee(dput also isn't a package checker - it's only an uploader)04:16
winfernoUnderstood, so in troubleshooting something that's new to me, I was trying to get all the feedback possible (I don't mean IRC). All I had to work with were the automated messages in e-mail.04:17
Hobbsee:)04:17
Hobbseeyeah - it's not overly clear04:18
winfernoSay that again. =) Okay, got it! changing section to 'graphics' fixed the problem.04:18
Hobbseewoot!04:19
Hobbseeyou'll often find that packaging guide (or the ubuntu one) to be useful04:19
winfernoThanks Hobbsee, I think I can classify that as a 'I didn't know enough about Ubuntu packaging' problem.04:19
winfernoWord.04:19
Hobbseewinferno: yeah, i think so :)  You're welcome04:19
winfernoHmm, my package failed to build the amd64 target with an error about configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in "." "./.." "./../.."04:24

winfernoHi, I have a (hopefully) easy question about the Launchpad interface. On my project page (https://launchpad.net/motzy) I'd like to know what I have to do to have the 'downloads' tab link to my PPA build of the project source. I can't seem to figure it out.23:11
beunowinferno, unfortunetly, that tab is only for uploaded files, not packages23:15
winfernobeuno: Ok, thanks. I was getting frustrated!23:15
beunoit sure sounds like something we'd want to fix, so feel free to file a bug on Launchpad for it23:15
winfernoOk, I think I'll wait for now, I'm still learning launchpad so I feel swamped at the moment.23:16
beunofair enough  :)23:17
winfernoI have another question. I'd like to release 'dev' builds in to my PPA. I tried to use dput to upload a package with the same version and got a 'rejected' message saying 'you cannot upload the same version within the same distribution'. Is there a way I can keep updating a 'dev' package?23:18
cprovwinferno: by using a new source name, 'foo' & 'foo-dev'23:19
winfernocprov: can you be more specific about 'source name'?23:20
