| Elbrus | if a bug in a build depend that causes a FTBFS is fixed, how is a retry for building triggered? (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/lazarus/0.9.26-2) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Elbrus | just by cron? new upload? manual triggering? | 00:01 |
| Laney | Elbrus: MOTUs or core-devs can retry builds, depending on the component | 00:03 |
| james_w | hello Elbrus | 00:04 |
| james_w | Elbrus: when fpc is built and published everywhere I will retry that | 00:04 |
| Elbrus | james_w: ok, thanks | 00:06 |
| Elbrus | Laney: thanks for the explanation, I expected so much. | 00:06 |
| Elbrus | james_w: could you also retry building winff after lazarus is built? | 00:07 |
| james_w | Elbrus: sure | 00:08 |
| Elbrus | james_w: thanks, that's my first packaging effort in debian. Would really like to see it work in Ubuntu (although I will propose some Ubuntu related changes after it builds) | 00:10 |
| serialorder | hi i was going to merge drscheme but the package is a dummy package (my terminology) all it does is install plt-scheme | 00:39 |
| crimsun | serialorder: ok, do you have a more specific question? | 00:41 |
| serialorder | i was thinking that rather than merging this it would make more sense to modify plt-scheme and add a Provides: drscheme rather than actually keeping this package | 00:41 |
| james_w | hi serialorder. a dummy packages is slightly different to a Provides: so it might be that way for a reason | 00:42 |
| crimsun | serialorder: I think you'd want a transitional bin:drscheme package generated from src:plt-scheme that provides an upgrade path | 00:43 |
| james_w | One is that it is possible to Build-Depend on a dummy package. The other is that it allows you to transition users from one to the other | 00:43 |
| james_w | as crimsun says though, it doesn't have to be a whole separate source packge | 00:43 |
| james_w | diverging from Debian on this might be more effort than it is worth though | 00:43 |
| serialorder | ok | 00:45 |
| serialorder | thought I would ask since literally all this package has is a debian directory | 00:45 |
| serialorder | would someone mind taking a look at this bug to verify if what I suggest makes sense or not | 00:55 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 301618 in imagemagick "imagemagick merged from Debian experimental has broken packaging" [High,Triaged] | 00:55 |
| serialorder | it probably doesn't though =( | 00:55 |
| ScottK-laptop | serialorder: I think that'd be one aspect of it, but also every package the build-dep on the old -dev package would have to be changed to build-dep on the appropriate new package. | 00:57 |
| ScottK-laptop | So I'd say it makes sense, but is not complete. | 00:58 |
| serialorder | so there is no way to make it so that it wouldn't break the other packages | 00:58 |
| serialorder | that makes sense | 00:59 |

| fabrice_sp | Hi. Has someone time to review dvdstyler (http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=dvdstyler)? Thanks in advance! | 01:40 |
| ScottK-laptop | DktrKranz: I see you just uploaded uiflite. | 02:14 |
| ScottK-laptop | DktrKranz: I hadn't noticed that until after I gave it a review. | 02:14 |
| DktrKranz | ScottK-laptop, yes. just now | 02:14 |
| ScottK-laptop | DktrKranz: Since the packaging is under the GPL, debian/copyright needs to point to GPL. | 02:15 |
| ScottK-laptop | I was about to comment to that effect when I saw your comment. | 02:15 |
| ScottK-laptop | DktrKranz: Would you please fix that and upload and -0ubuntu2? | 02:16 |
| DktrKranz | I added it before upload | 02:16 |
| ScottK-laptop | DktrKranz: Excellent. | 02:16 |
| ScottK-laptop | Nevermind then. | 02:16 |
| * DktrKranz checks | 02:16 | |
| * ScottK-laptop looks at iptux | 02:18 | |
| DktrKranz | ScottK-laptop, no. I noticed it but I forgot to actually put it. I'll reupload it with the fixed debian/copyright (no need to do -0ubuntu2, IIRC it's legal to have two NEW packages with the same versioning, given that the former is rejected properly) | 02:19 |
| ScottK-laptop | DktrKranz: Great. I've seen the wrong one get rejected before. I think it's safer to make it ubuntu2, but up to you. | 02:21 |

| === RAOF_ is now known as RAOF | ||
| Hobbsee | RAOF: well, the one to be rejected is | 06:19 |
| Hobbsee | RAOF: I was looking for you, actually. How can I tell gnome-do that i want to connect to a machine via ssh console by default, not open it's root by ssh? | 06:20 |
| RAOF | Um... | 06:27 |
| RAOF | So, I presume Do is offering to open it's root by SSH because you've got a GNOME bookmark/mount set up. | 06:28 |
| RAOF | Do you have the SSH plugin loaded for Do, and have a .ssh/config file which defines the host? | 06:28 |
| RAOF | Hobbsee: ^^ | 06:28 |
| Hobbsee | RAOF: it's in .ssh/config | 06:29 |
| Hobbsee | and the latter, yes | 06:29 |
| lidaobing | help review http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=iptux, a new version uploaded(fix copyright information), thanks. | 06:29 |
| RAOF | Hobbsee: Then after selecting the host in the first pane, you want to tab over and select "Connect with SSH" in the second pane. | 06:32 |
| RAOF | After doing that a number of times, the relevance engine will pick it up and it'll become the default action. | 06:32 |
| Hobbsee | ah | 06:32 |
| Hobbsee | for each ssh host, or? | 06:32 |
| RAOF | For all SSH hosts, yes. | 06:32 |
| RAOF | The relevance engine isn't quite cool enough to do per-item action relevance at this point, I think. | 06:33 |
| Hobbsee | no, as in, do i need to do it a number of times for each ssh host, or it's a global count? | 06:33 |
| Hobbsee | ah, right. | 06:33 |
| Hobbsee | hurrah! | 06:34 |
| Hobbsee | That fixed it, thanks! | 06:34 |
| RAOF | Do becomes much more useful once you know how to use it. | 06:34 |
| RAOF | We obviously need to make it easier to discover _how_ to use it :) | 06:35 |
| Hobbsee | well, i thought it might have been something like that. | 06:37 |
| Hobbsee | as that's how the t9 dictionary handles | 06:37 |
| Hobbsee | but i'm surethat wasn't 10 times | 06:37 |
| Hobbsee | and because repeatedly switching it every once in a while wasn't seeming to do it - i presume it needs to be in the same session? | 06:38 |
| RAOF | It _should_ be remembered across sessions. | 06:38 |
| * Hobbsee thought she would have used gnome-do more than 10 times for ssh, connecting to it | 06:39 | |
| * Hobbsee hasn't managed to trigger it, without consciously launching 10 versions of it | 06:39 | |
| StevenK | I find it won't remember "Connect with SSH" as the default | 06:41 |
| StevenK | I always have to go "ant" <tab> "ssh" | 06:42 |
| jdong | *shudder* how beautiful. | 06:42 |
| RAOF | Possibly because you also "open" stuff a lot? The relevance isn't per-item, and the SSH hosts I think are one of the worst-case behaviours. | 06:42 |
| Hobbsee | RAOF: i don't, though. | 06:43 |
| jdong | did you know when you statically link something against ffmpeg, faac, faad, libmp4v2, mpeg4ip, and dca, that the resulting binary is 9.3MB? | 06:43 |
| jdong | the more you know! | 06:43 |

| StevenK | RAOF: I use Do to run things and connect via ssh | 06:43 |
| RAOF | Then maybe there's a bug somewhere. You're right, I need to "off" <tab> "ssh", too. | 06:45 |

| mok0 | !revu | 15:10 |
| ubottu | REVU is a web-based tool to give people who have worked on Ubuntu packages a chance to "put their packages out there" for other people to look at and comment on in a structured manner. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU | 15:10 |

| jariq | that could be submited to revu | 15:11 |
| mok0 | jariq: don't you want to get your feet wet? | 15:12 |
| jariq | i tried to create package by myself but it was very time consuming | 15:13 |
| mok0 | jariq: in practice, the only way is to do it yourself. | 15:13 |
| mok0 | jariq: just come here and ask | 15:13 |
| mok0 | jariq: it _is_ time consuming | 15:13 |
| jariq | but not for anyone experienced right? | 15:14 |
| mok0 | jariq: the trick is to become experienced | 15:14 |
| mok0 | jariq: to be honest, to get help, you have to show that you are willing to do work yourself | 15:14 |
| jariq | i wrote that app :) | 15:15 |

| mok0 | jariq: basically, you need a debian/ dir with 5 files in it | 15:18 |
| jariq | i do not feel that way | 15:18 |

| jariq | got it | 15:20 |

| jariq | is there anything else i need to install ? | 15:30 |
| mok0 | jariq: ah yes. apt-get install cdbs | 15:30 |
| mok0 | debhelper | 15:30 |
| jariq | ok got it | 15:30 |
| jariq | license is gnu gpl v2 | 15:30 |
| mok0 | jariq: what is the copyright of your package? | 15:30 |
| mok0 | ah ok good | 15:33 |
| mok0 | jariq: now we make the copyright file, in debian/ still | 15:33 |
| mok0 | 1st line | 15:34 |
| mok0 | Format-Specification: http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat | 15:34 |
| mok0 | 2nd line | 15:34 |
| mok0 | Upstream-Name: IPwatchD | 15:35 |
| mok0 | 3rd line | 15:35 |
| mok0 | Upstream-Maintainer: (you) | 15:35 |
| mok0 | 4: | 15:36 |
| mok0 | Upstream-Source: (url of where to get your tarball) | 15:36 |
| mok0 | got that? | 15:36 |
| jariq | yes | 15:36 |
| mok0 | that was the header section of debian/copyright | 15:36 |
| jariq | ok | 15:37 |
| mok0 | jariq: now comes as many Files: sections as is necessary to fully describe the copyright of all files. I think this might be sufficient: | 15:37 |
| mok0 | Files: * | 15:37 |
| mok0 | Copyright: Copyright 2008, (your-name) <your email> | 15:38 |
| mok0 | License: GPL | 15:38 |
| jariq | should i put blank line between header and this text ? | 15:39 |
| mok0 | Yeah why not | 15:39 |
| mok0 | jariq: so, you should have 3 lines for the Files: section | 15:39 |
| goshawk | if someone has free time, can please have a look at: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=dsss | 15:39 |
| goshawk | ? | 15:40 |
| goshawk | thanks | 15:40 |
| jariq | so anything else is needed in this file? | 15:40 |
| mok0 | jariq: after the License: GPL line, you need the short GPL clause, see here: http://pastebin.com/f798b947d | 15:41 |
| mok0 | jariq: and that finishes the copyright line | 15:41 |
| mok0 | jariq: got that? | 15:43 |
| jariq | yeas | 15:43 |
| mok0 | jariq: ready to go on? | 15:43 |
| jariq | yeap | 15:43 |
| mok0 | next file: compat. | 15:43 |
| mok0 | jariq: echo 6 > compat | 15:44 |
| mok0 | that's it | 15:44 |
| mok0 | jariq: 2 files to go | 15:44 |
| handschuh | goshawk: please don't update the chagelog every upload | 15:44 |
| handschuh | goshawk: it should ONLY state the launchpad "needs-packaging"-bug and the patches you do (if present) | 15:45 |
| mok0 | jariq: now we will create the changelog file | 15:45 |
| goshawk | handschuh: sorry i didn't know | 15:45 |
| mok0 | jariq: which is used to collect the history of your package | 15:45 |
| mok0 | jariq: it has a strict format | 15:46 |
| jariq | ok | 15:46 |
| mok0 | 1st line: | 15:46 |
| goshawk | handschuh: ok i'll do it | 15:46 |
| handschuh | goshawk: no problem, as you have patches, make sure you explain them in the changelog | 15:46 |
| goshawk | yes i've 2 patches | 15:46 |
| goshawk | so i should add them on changelog | 15:46 |
| mok0 | jariq: ah, what is the version of ipwatchip | 15:46 |
| jariq | 1.1.1 | 15:47 |
| mok0 | ok | 15:47 |
| mok0 | first line | 15:47 |
| handschuh | goshawk: yes. also take a look at http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/report.py/legal?upid=4145 | 15:47 |

| iulian | s/1.1.1-0buntu1/1.1.1-0ubuntu1/g | 15:50 |
| quentusrex | I need help with something.... My package needs the user to give it the mysql root password. But I don't know how to make my package ask for that during install. Can someone help? | 15:51 |
| handschuh | goshawk: yes but there are some files without licensing and the licensing is not recognized | 15:51 |
| goshawk | handschuh: what should i do? | 15:51 |
| handschuh | goshawk: you might have to talk to upstream to let this fix | 15:51 |
| mok0 | jariq: got that? | 15:52 |
| jariq | yes | 15:52 |
| mok0 | jariq: great. Last file, control | 15:52 |
| mok0 | first line: | 15:52 |
| mok0 | Source: ipwatchd | 15:53 |
| goshawk | handschuh: are you refferring to some files like: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/report.py/legal?upid=4145 ? | 15:53 |
| mok0 | jariq: | 15:53 |
| mok0 | 2nd line | 15:53 |

| goshawk | sorru | 15:53 |

| handschuh | goshawk: some files have no valid license information an this has bo be fixed by upstream | 15:55 |

| mok0 | jariq: 6th line | 15:56 |
| goshawk | handschuh: ok what else to fix? | 15:56 |
| mok0 | Standards-Version: 3.8.0 | 15:56 |
| mok0 | jariq: next line empty | 15:56 |
| mok0 | jariq: OK that was the header of debian/control | 15:56 |
| jariq | got it | 15:56 |
| handschuh | goshawk: debian/copyright | 15:57 |
| mok0 | jariq: after that, there are N sections each describing a binary package. I think you just need 1 | 15:57 |
| handschuh | goshawk: change the "ist was downloaded from" url to http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dsss/downloads | 15:57 |
| jariq | mok0, and where should i specify dependencies? | 15:57 |
| goshawk | handschuh: ok | 15:58 |
| mok0 | jariq: that goes in the header, after a Build-Depends: tag | 15:58 |
| mok0 | jariq: I skipped that for now | 15:58 |
| handschuh | goshawk: debian/control: under the source-section, add a "Homepage" field | 15:58 |
| jariq | ok no problem | 15:58 |
| mok0 | jariq: but in fact you need to put: | 15:58 |
| mok0 | Build-Depends: cdbs, debhelper (>= 6) | 15:59 |
| mok0 | jariq: and probably more, but that will be an exercise for you :-) | 15:59 |
| handschuh | goshawk: you have some additional files outside of the debian directory which is not allowed | 15:59 |
| goshawk | handschuh: i don't understand, can you give me an example? | 16:00 |
| jariq | mok0, Build-Depends goes into control file? | 16:00 |
| mok0 | jariq: Yes, in the header section | 16:00 |
| handschuh | goshawk: a, Im sorry, my bad; never mind | 16:00 |
| goshawk | handschuh: :) yes | 16:00 |
| jariq | mok0, ok put it there and will add all other dependencies later | 16:00 |
| goshawk | handschuh: it happens | 16:00 |
| mok0 | jariq: great | 16:00 |
| jariq | mok0, what should i put after header section? | 16:00 |
| mok0 | jariq, 1 (or more) empty line | 16:01 |
| jariq | mok0, ok | 16:01 |
| mok0 | jariq: let's make the last few lines now | 16:01 |
| jariq | mok0, ok go on | 16:01 |
| mok0 | jariq: Package: ipwatchd | 16:01 |
| mok0 | jariq: Architecture: any | 16:01 |
| handschuh | goshawk: otherwise it looks fine to me ... but it is very likely that someone else finds other issues | 16:02 |
| goshawk | handschuh: ok | 16:02 |
| goshawk | let me fix | 16:02 |
| goshawk | the things you said | 16:02 |
| mok0 | jariq: next line | 16:03 |
| mok0 | jariq: Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} | 16:03 |
| mok0 | jariq: that is shlibs<colon> Depends | 16:03 |
| jariq | mok0, with space? | 16:03 |
| mok0 | jariq: no | 16:03 |
| mok0 | jariq: sorry | 16:04 |
| jariq | mok0, ok | 16:04 |
| mok0 | jariq: finally, the description | 16:04 |
| mok0 | jariq: Description: simple daemon using libpcap to detect IP conflicts | 16:05 |
| jariq | mok0, got it | 16:05 |
| mok0 | jariq: The long descriptions follows that, indented by 1 space | 16:05 |
| goshawk | handschuh: thanks | 16:06 |
| mok0 | jariq: I suggest you use the bit from the LP bug | 16:06 |
| mok0 | jariq: 2nd paragraph | 16:06 |
| jariq | mok0, intended like license in copyright file | 16:06 |
| mok0 | jariq: oh, we forgot something in the header of debian/control | 16:06 |
| mok0 | jariq: exactly | 16:06 |
| mok0 | jariq: Homepage: http://ipwatchd.sourceforge.net/ | 16:07 |
| mok0 | jariq: you are basically done. (Disclaimer: this is a skeleton, you will probably need to modify & expand) | 16:08 |
| mok0 | jariq: now try to build the package | 16:08 |
| mok0 | jariq: cd .. | 16:09 |
| goshawk | handschuh: last thing | 16:09 |
| mok0 | jariq: fakeroot debian/rules build | 16:09 |
| goshawk | handschuh: about the copyright issue | 16:09 |
| handschuh | goshawk: yes ... contact upstream and ask them to fix this | 16:09 |
| goshawk | handschuh: should i advice upstream for every file in http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/report.py/legal?upid=4145 or just the files like: /var/revu/revu1-incoming/dsss-0811291639/dsss-0.78/rebuild/gnuc.c: *No copyright* UNKNOWN ? | 16:10 |
| handschuh | goshawk: the best might be all files, but the No Copyright files are the worst | 16:10 |
| jariq | mok0, /usr/bin/fakeroot: 166: debian/rules: Permission denied | 16:11 |
| mok0 | jariq: yes, ok, you know what to do? Hint: it needs x mode | 16:11 |
| goshawk | handschuh: can you show how do they should be? | 16:11 |
| goshawk | handschuh: so i can create a patch | 16:11 |
| goshawk | and submit upstream :) | 16:12 |
| jariq | mok0, just control file or all files in debian folder? | 16:12 |
| mok0 | jariq: actually, only rules | 16:12 |
| jariq | mok0, yes rules sorry | 16:12 |
| handschuh | goshawk: yes that might be the best | 16:13 |
| goshawk | handschuh: yes, but i don't know how should be look like, can you show me a good written one? | 16:13 |
| goshawk | i've to go | 16:13 |
| goshawk | write here | 16:13 |
| goshawk | and i'll follow your guidelines | 16:14 |
| goshawk | ok | 16:14 |
| goshawk | bye | 16:14 |
| handschuh | goshawk: you can look at the end of the gpl and find a template | 16:14 |
| jariq | mok0, it ends up wiht debian/rules: 2: include: not found | 16:15 |
| jariq | debian/rules: 3: include: not found | 16:15 |
| mok0 | jariq: did you install the cdbs package? | 16:16 |
| jariq | mok0, yes /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk and /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk exist | 16:16 |
| mok0 | jariq: hmm... | 16:16 |
| jariq | mok0, maybe these files include some others that are missing | 16:16 |
| mok0 | jariq: yes... maybe | 16:17 |
| mok0 | jariq: on of the files must be /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/makefile.mk | 16:18 |
| mok0 | s/on/on | 16:18 |
| mok0 | s/on/one | 16:18 |
| mok0 | jariq: (you listed the same file twice) | 16:18 |
| jariq | mok0, my control file has following contents | 16:18 |
| jariq | #!/usr/bin/make -f | 16:19 |
| jariq | include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk | 16:19 |
| jariq | include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/makefile.mk | 16:19 |
| mok0 | jariq: that's rules, yes? | 16:19 |
| jariq | mok0, yes | 16:19 |
| mok0 | jariq: you have debhelper installed? | 16:20 |
| jariq | mok0, debhelper is already the newest version. | 16:21 |
| mok0 | jariq: can you pastebin debian/rules? | 16:21 |
| jariq | mok0, i had a space before first line, my mistake sorry | 16:22 |
| mok0 | heh | 16:22 |
| jariq | mok0, now it executed without errors | 16:23 |
| mok0 | jariq: cool | 16:23 |
| mok0 | jariq: is it compiling your program? | 16:23 |
| jariq | mok0, it already finished | 16:24 |
| jariq | mok0, without errors | 16:24 |
| mok0 | jariq: :-) | 16:24 |
| mok0 | jarriq, next ste | 16:24 |
| mok0 | step | 16:24 |
| mok0 | fakeroot debian/rules binary | 16:24 |
| mok0 | jariq: (this is "manual" building) | 16:25 |
| mok0 | jariq: step by step | 16:25 |
| jariq | mok0, finished successfuly with one warning: warning, `debian/ipwatchd/DEBIAN/control' contains user-defined field `Original-Maintainer' | 16:25 |
| mok0 | jariq: yeah it always does that | 16:25 |
| jariq | mok0, ok what is the next step? | 16:26 |
| mok0 | jariq: it may have generated a package in ../ | 16:26 |
| mok0 | ls ../*deb | 16:26 |
| jariq | wow | 16:26 |
| === Tweenaks is now known as Treenaks | ||
| jariq | mok0, it is there ../ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1_i386.deb | 16:27 |
| mok0 | jariq: you can use "less" to view the contents of the package | 16:27 |
| jariq | mok0, gr8 but there is one problem | 16:28 |
| jariq | mok0, package does not contain all files that are installed when I run "make install" on my Makefile | 16:29 |
| jariq | mok0, maybe I know where the problem is | 16:29 |
| jariq | mok0, i'll try to rebuild | 16:30 |
| mok0 | jariq: yes I thought so | 16:30 |
| mok0 | jariq: it may have something to do with what your Makefile does | 16:31 |
| mok0 | jariq: the debian build system installs into the debian/tmp directory | 16:32 |
| mok0 | jariq: (a temporary directory) | 16:33 |
| mok0 | jariq: then it moves files from the debian/tmp directory into a package specific directory debian/ipwatchd/usr/... etc | 16:34 |
| mok0 | jariq: and the package is constructed from that | 16:34 |
| jariq | mok0, about my Makefile, is there anything special (like some Makefile target) that to build the package successfuly ? | 16:35 |
| mok0 | jariq: uhm, I can't remember to tell you the truth... You may need to install into: $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin and so on | 16:36 |
| jariq | mok0, aha | 16:36 |
| jariq | mok0, where can i find info about that? | 16:37 |
| mok0 | jariq: let me think | 16:37 |
| jariq | mok0, because I suspect that my Makefile does not follow some rules | 16:37 |
| mok0 | jariq: probably | 16:37 |
| mok0 | jariq: try the DESTDIR thing. | 16:37 |
| jariq | mok0, any example? | 16:38 |
| mok0 | jariq: that may be sufficient. People who install from your tarball wont notice, because DESTDIR will not be set | 16:38 |
| mok0 | jariq: install -m 755 ipwatchd $(DESTDIR)/sbin | 16:38 |
| mok0 | jariq: (I guess that is where daemons go, perhaps /usr/sbin) | 16:39 |
| jariq | mok0, Makefile can be viewed at https://ipwatchd.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ipwatchd/current/src/Makefile | 16:39 |
| mok0 | jariq: ah, yes, it needs a bit of work | 16:40 |
| jariq | mok0, so for example i should modify "install" target.. line "cp ipwatchd /usr/local/sbin" to "cp ipwatchd $(DESTDIR)/usr/local/sbin" ??? | 16:40 |
| mok0 | jariq: substitute "/usr/local" with "$(prefix) | 16:40 |
| mok0 | jariq: or perhaps $(DESTDIR)$(prefix) | 16:41 |
| jariq | mok0, ok i am working on it | 16:42 |
| mok0 | jariq: you can set prefix at the top of Makefile | 16:42 |
| mok0 | jariq: it will be overridden by cdbs | 16:42 |
| jariq | mok0, i modified install target of my Makefile | 16:46 |
| jariq | mok0, but it did not help, binary files are not included in package | 16:47 |
| mok0 | jariq: can you carry out the fakeroot debian/rules clean step, please? | 16:48 |
| jariq | mok0, debhelper is using install target or any else? | 16:48 |
| mok0 | jariq: Let's find out | 16:49 |
| ma10 | jdong: I need to ask you stuff about azureus. You there? | 16:49 |
| jariq | mok0, clean step done successfuly | 16:49 |
| mok0 | jariq: now build again | 16:49 |
| mok0 | jariq: and go into debian/ and see what is there | 16:50 |
| jariq | mok0, i executed "fakeroot debian/rules build" and just one file was added into debian directory "stamp-makefile-build" | 16:51 |
| mok0 | jariq: ok ,sounds right. Now try the same with fakeroot.... install | 16:52 |
| jariq | mok0, make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 16:53 |
| mok0 | jariq: uhm... hang on | 16:53 |
| mok0 | jariq: try the fakeroot .... etc... binary step | 16:54 |
| jariq | mok0, same result | 16:55 |
| jariq | mok0, created package does not contain program files | 16:55 |
| mok0 | jariq: what's in debian/ now? | 16:55 |
| jariq | mok0, | 16:56 |
| jariq | mok0, changelog compat control copyright files ipwatchd rules stamp-makefile-build | 16:56 |
| mok0 | jariq: check debian/ipwatchd/ | 16:56 |
| mok0 | jariq: ls -R or something | 16:56 |
| jariq | mok0, there are some generated files like docs | 16:58 |
| mok0 | jariq: that's a start :-) | 16:58 |
| jariq | mok0, but none of them is created by my makefile | 16:58 |
| jariq | mok0, I suggest to recapitulate | 16:59 |
| mok0 | jariq: Let me check something | 16:59 |
| mok0 | jariq: 1 minute | 16:59 |
| jariq | mok0, ok | 16:59 |
| mok0 | jariq: Perhaps the install target is never called by cdbs | 17:01 |
| jariq | mok0, it is possible | 17:01 |
| mok0 | jariq: but there's a neat way around it | 17:02 |
| jariq | mok0, to call it when make without target is called ? | 17:02 |
| mok0 | jariq: where are the compiled files in your directory tree? | 17:02 |
| jariq | in the same directory where source files | 17:03 |
| mok0 | jariq: We can just copy the files from your tree to the right place in debian/ipwatchd | 17:03 |
| jariq | mok0, ok i will try that but i suggest short recapitulation | 17:03 |
| mok0 | jariq: ... and that is done in a file called debian/<packagename>.install | 17:03 |
| mok0 | jariq: ok | 17:03 |
| jariq | mok0, so i unpack source into lets say /home/jariq/test | 17:04 |
| mok0 | ok | 17:04 |
| jariq | mok0, than create /home/jariq/test/debian/ with those 5 files | 17:04 |
| mok0 | jariq: yes (but you've done it now :-)) | 17:05 |
| jariq | mok0, source files does not have to be in /home/jariq/test/src/ ? | 17:05 |
| mok0 | jariq: that's up to the upstream | 17:05 |
| mok0 | (=you in this case) | 17:05 |
| jariq | mok0, so than i change working directory to /home/jariq/test | 17:06 |
| mok0 | jariq: In fact, all you need is a Makefile that will build the app(s) somehow | 17:06 |
| mok0 | yes | 17:06 |
| jariq | mok0, and run fakeroot debian/rules build and fakeroot debian/rules binary | 17:06 |
| mok0 | jariq: well, those are the "debugging" steps | 17:07 |
| mok0 | jariq: normally, you just call "debuild" | 17:07 |
| jariq | mok0, okey but after build and binary there should be whole package ready | 17:07 |
| mok0 | jariq: yes | 17:08 |
| mok0 | jariq: to upload to revu, you need to build a _source_ package | 17:08 |
| mok0 | jariq: and that consists of 3 files | 17:08 |
| mok0 | jariq: but you probably know that | 17:09 |
| mok0 | jariq: let's try making the debian/ipwatchd.install file | 17:09 |
| jariq | mok0, ok | 17:10 |
| mok0 | jariq: let's just test it first, with only 1 line in it | 17:10 |
| mok0 | jariq: relative to the topdir, where is ipwatchd built? | 17:11 |
| mok0 | jariq: ./ipwatchd perhaps? | 17:11 |
| jariq | mok0, i executed "fakeroot debian/rules clean" | 17:12 |
| mok0 | fine | 17:12 |
| jariq | mok0, so what should be next step "fakeroot debian/rules build" ? | 17:12 |
| mok0 | jariq: see question above | 17:13 |
| mok0 | jariq: relative to the topdir, where is ipwatchd built? | 17:13 |
| jariq | mok0, i am in directory where ipwatchd is built | 17:14 |
| mok0 | jariq: ... which is? | 17:14 |
| mok0 | topdir? | 17:14 |
| jariq | yes | 17:14 |
| mok0 | jariq: great. Now first line of debian/ipwatchd.install: | 17:14 |
| mok0 | ./ipwatchd /usr/sbin/ | 17:15 |
| jariq | got it | 17:15 |
| mok0 | jariq: that's it, now try building "binary" and see if ipwatchd makes it into the package | 17:16 |
| jariq | yes it is there | 17:17 |
| mok0 | jariq: yay | 17:17 |
| jariq | mok0, i suppose i should add all relevant files to debian/ipwatchd.install | 17:17 |
| mok0 | jariq: now you know what to do :-) | 17:17 |
| mok0 | jariq: exactly. | 17:17 |
| mok0 | jariq: just one hint more | 17:17 |
| mok0 | jariq: <package>.install is a generic install | 17:18 |
| mok0 | jariq: there are some specialized install files as well, for example for manpages | 17:18 |
| mok0 | jariq: they are more intelligent | 17:18 |
| mok0 | jariq: so, try putting your manpage in a new file ipwatchd.manpages | 17:19 |
| mok0 | jariq: in debian of course | 17:19 |
| mok0 | jariq: and the rest in ipwatchd.install | 17:19 |
| jariq | mok0, ok working on that | 17:19 |
| mok0 | jariq: now you have 7 files in debian/ | 17:20 |
| mok0 | jariq: (I think) | 17:20 |
| jariq | mok0, ok i'll skip manpages for now | 17:21 |
| mok0 | jariq: ok | 17:21 |
| jariq | mok0, but using ipwatchd.install is not very flexible | 17:24 |
| mok0 | jariq: what do you mean? | 17:24 |
| jariq | mok0, i mean u cannot change prefix | 17:24 |
| jariq | mok0, or it is just relative? | 17:25 |
| mok0 | jariq: you don't need to. It just has to install things in the right place according to Debian policy | 17:25 |
| jariq | mok0, ok | 17:25 |
| jariq | mok0, so now after build and binary package is fine | 17:26 |
| mok0 | jariq: congrats | 17:26 |
| mok0 | jariq: before I leave, let's build a source package | 17:26 |
| jariq | mok0, thanks a lot | 17:26 |
| jariq | mok0, you've been very helpful | 17:26 |
| mok0 | jariq: my pleasure | 17:26 |
| mok0 | jariq: Use debuild -S -sa to build source package | 17:26 |
| jariq | mok0, and source package can be submited to revu | 17:26 |
| mok0 | jariq: Yes | 17:27 |
| mok0 | jariq: you use "dput" utility, and send the *_source.changes file | 17:27 |
| mok0 | jariq: which pulls the other files along | 17:27 |
| mok0 | jariq: but you need a copy of your tarball in topdir/.. | 17:28 |
| mok0 | jariq: and you have to name it: ipwatchd_1.1.1.orig.tar.gz | 17:28 |
| jariq | mok0, well building of source package failed | 17:29 |
| mok0 | jariq: what's the problem? | 17:29 |
| jariq | dpkg-source: failure: create ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1.dsc: Permission denied | 17:30 |
| jariq | dpkg-source: building ipwatchd in ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1.dsc | 17:30 |
| jariq | debuild: fatal error at line 1247: | 17:30 |
| jariq | dpkg-source -b _work failed | 17:30 |
| mok0 | jariq: you don't have permission to write in .. (?) | 17:31 |
| jariq | mok0, does this need root privileges ? | 17:31 |
| mok0 | jariq: no | 17:31 |
| mok0 | jariq: only if you are attempting to write in / ;-) | 17:31 |
| jariq | mok0, my mistake | 17:31 |
| jariq | mok0, i run it as root before and it cannot overwrite files | 17:32 |
| mok0 | jariq: ah | 17:32 |
| mok0 | jariq: that's why we have the "fakeroot" command | 17:32 |
| === fta_ is now known as fta | ||
| mok0 | jariq: it fakes root for an ordinary user when building packages | 17:32 |
| jariq | mok0, it attempts to sing the package | 17:32 |
| jariq | mok0, i have gpg key but it is protected by pass | 17:33 |
| mok0 | jariq: it should ask you for the pass | 17:33 |
| jariq | mok0, it did not, showed "gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: secret key not available" instead | 17:33 |
| mok0 | jariq: hmm, | 17:33 |
| mok0 | jariq: just to get pass this point for now, try debuild -S -sa -uc -us | 17:34 |
| jariq | mok0, it looks like it was successful | 17:34 |
| mok0 | jariq: yes, but you wont be able to upload an unsigned package, so you need to work that other problem out | 17:35 |
| mok0 | jariq: let's see what files were created | 17:35 |
| mok0 | jariq: you should have a *.diff.gz file | 17:35 |
| mok0 | jariq: a *dsc file and a *changes file | 17:36 |
| jariq | mok0, ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1.dsc ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1_source.changes ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1.dsc.asc ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1.tar.gz ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1_source.build | 17:36 |
| jariq | mok0, these files were created | 17:36 |
| * mok0 wonders why you have the ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1.tar.gz file... | 17:37 | |
| jariq | :) | 17:37 |
| mok0 | jariq: you need a ipwatchd_1.1.1.orig.tar.gz | 17:37 |
| mok0 | jariq: which is just a copy of your upstream tarball (the one you unpackged 2 hrs ago) | 17:38 |
| jariq | mok0, i skipped that warning | 17:38 |
| mok0 | jariq: naughty boy | 17:38 |
| mok0 | jariq: when you have the orig.tar.gz file, cd into topdir and build source package again | 17:40 |
| mok0 | jariq: we need to see a file called ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1.diff.gz | 17:40 |
| jariq | mok0, i put *orig* file there | 17:44 |
| mok0 | jariq: great | 17:44 |
| jariq | mok0, and resulting files are ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1.dsc ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1_i386.deb ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1_source.build ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1_source.changes ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1.tar.gz | 17:44 |
| jariq | so no diff file again | 17:44 |
| mok0 | jariq: you didn't repackage the tarball to contain debian/ did you? | 17:45 |
| mok0 | jariq: because you shouldn't do that | 17:45 |
| jariq | no | 17:46 |
| mok0 | jariq: what files are listed in .dsc ? | 17:46 |
| jariq | mok0, dcd87f2d3ee0fadc0a0f0a83476bbce1 58213 ipwatchd_1.1.1-0buntu1.tar.gz | 17:47 |
| jariq | mok0, i'll fix this later i will change directory structure anyway | 17:47 |
| mok0 | jariq: hmm. please try to rm or mv that tar.gz file. | 17:47 |
| jariq | mok0, so when i finaly get that diff file | 17:47 |
| jariq | mok0, that would be a file that should be submitted to revu ? | 17:48 |
| mok0 | jariq: when you get the diff.gz file, check to see that it contains all files in debian/ that you created | 17:48 |
| mok0 | jariq: the "source package" consists of 3 files: the orig.tar.gz, the diff.gz and the .dsc file. | 17:48 |
| mok0 | jariq: all those are described in the _source.changes file, with MD5 sums so that is the file you pass to "dput" | 17:49 |
| jariq | mok0, ok thanks a lot | 17:51 |
| mok0 | jariq: you're welcome :-) | 17:51 |
| jariq | mok0, i will try to do my best to get it there | 17:51 |
| mok0 | jariq: I'm sure you will succeed. But, please be patient. | 17:51 |
| mok0 | jariq: come here next friday, that is REVU day and you can ask to have the package reviewed | 17:52 |
| jariq | mok0, i am sure that all files and other stuff have its reason but this process is too complicated to start | 17:52 |
| mok0 | jariq: I know | 17:52 |
| jariq | mok0, ok next friday.. whole day? | 17:52 |
| mok0 | jariq: but now might be a good time to read the Ubuntu Packaging Guide... it's a hands on approach | 17:53 |
| mok0 | jariq: yes, in fact it starts UTC-11 and goes on to UTC+12 | 17:53 |
| jariq | mok0, i read it before but i hope will understand more now :) | 17:54 |
| mok0 | jariq: I think you will | 17:54 |
| jariq | mok0, one more thing | 17:54 |
| jariq | mok0, that bug on launchpad should i change it somehow ? assign to me or something | 17:54 |
| mok0 | jariq: yes, that would be a good idea. And set it to "In progress" | 17:55 |
| jariq | mok0, ok thanks a lot again for your help | 17:55 |
| mok0 | jariq: We referenced that bug in debian/changelog, so when your package gets uploaded, it will be closed automatically | 17:55 |
| mok0 | jariq: good luck with your package! | 17:56 |
| mok0 | jariq: when you become experienced, you can help someone else :-) | 17:56 |
| jariq | mok0, sure :) if that day comes | 17:57 |
| mok0 | jariq: See you later! | 17:57 |

| james_w | directhex: removal requests require sponsorship you know? | 18:26 |
| directhex | james_w, hm, do they? | 18:28 |
| james_w | yup | 18:28 |
| james_w | just came across stetic, I'll check it out now | 18:28 |
| james_w | any more that should be looked over? | 18:28 |
| directhex | i think that's our only removal. let me check the wiki | 18:29 |
| directhex | ftpmaster has acted on it already - http://bugs.debian.org/507126 - but pitti suggested I should file a separate ubuntu removal anyway, just to be sure | 18:30 |
| james_w | sure, there's no great problem with it | 18:30 |
| james_w | just wanted to make sure you knew | 18:31 |
| directhex | i'll know for next time :) | 18:31 |
| quentusrex | If I need to patch a file controlled by another package, how do I do this??? | 19:10 |
| directhex | quentusrex, which file? | 19:12 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | hmmm | 20:12 |
| james_w | directhex: how does this look? http://paste.ubuntu.com/78128/ | 20:20 |
| directhex | james_w, offhand it looks perfect :) | 20:43 |
| directhex | james_w, does a test compile agree with my analysis? | 20:43 |
| jdong | Dear HandBrake buildsys: If a library 35 seconds into the build failed, please don't continue building for 45 minutes and then tell me that. Thanks, bye. | 20:45 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | jdong: hahaha | 20:46 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | btw | 20:46 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | survey of the day | 20:46 |
| laga | jdong: and 45 minutes after the library FTBS, you noticed how ccache would have been a good idea | 20:46 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | if a package provides a file which is also provided by dpkg would you just create a conflict field or rename the binary to something else? :P | 20:47 |
| jdong | SUNWjoejaxx: haha conflict dpkg!!! | 20:48 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | jdong: yes sir! :D | 20:48 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | :P | 20:48 |
| directhex | jdong, i have a $20k proprietary app with the same problem | 20:48 |
| jdong | SUNWjoejaxx: I'm in a much nastier dilemma right now. | 20:48 |
| jdong | handbrake currently pumps out these horrendous 10MB binaries | 20:49 |
| jdong | actually 2x10MB | 20:49 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | jdong: oh? | 20:49 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | oh wow | 20:49 |
| directhex | handbrake is pretty junky, but popular amongst users | 20:49 |
| jdong | SUNWjoejaxx: upstream uses a fairly patched up media stack and very specific mp4v2, etc. | 20:49 |
| jdong | so... I'd rather not basically fork the project by hacking it to build against system libs | 20:49 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | yeah | 20:49 |
| jdong | so I'm just gonna admit defeat and bundle upstream libs | 20:49 |
| jdong | I dont' want another upstream that hates our guts (looks at azureus-gcj) | 20:49 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | lol | 20:50 |
| jdong | but at the same time, debian/copyright looks like it's gonna be like 20 pages. | 20:50 |
| jdong | mpeg4ip alone is like 10 pages | 20:50 |
| directhex | jdong, this proprietary app is 99.9% fortran, and uses a single c lib for helper application. it takes about an hour to build on 4 cores of 1.6ghz itanium. if the c lib compile fails, it still spends an hour on the fortran, then fails on the final linker step | 20:50 |
| directhex | but the build system (its own one) cannot bail or resume - it always starts from scratch | 20:50 |
| jdong | directhex: haha same here | 20:50 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | lol fortran :) | 20:50 |
| directhex | and the c lib fails due to use of POSIX defines removed in 1992 :) | 20:51 |
| jdong | they use some weird jam+make+autoconf | 20:51 |
| jdong | and the makefile for bundled libs builds 1-by-1 in serial but doesn't fail until all have been attempted to be built | 20:51 |
| DRebellion | Hi guys, I've just uploaded cifer (a multipurpose classical cryptanalysis and code-breaking tool) to revu: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=cifer . Does anybody have a bit of free time to take a look? Thanks. | 20:53 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | jdong: i am still wondering if a conflict is enough though | 20:53 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | jdong: or the right way | 20:53 |
| jdong | SUNWjoejaxx: I'd recommend renaming the file | 20:55 |
| jdong | I somehow think the idea of conflicting dpkg won't be appreciated :D | 20:55 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | jdong: same here hahahaha | 20:55 |
| jdong | is there anything in policy against using bzip2 compression instead of gzip if there's a significant filesize benefit? | 20:57 |

| Elbrus | Basically I want to now if I am on the right track | 21:20 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | jdong: is there any suggested way of renaming binaries during install: build in debian/rules? an mv seems hackish | 21:20 |
| Elbrus | anyway, Debian has removed all old versions of fpc from their archives | 21:21 |
| jdong | SUNWjoejaxx: I'd use a mv in the install target. | 21:21 |
| Elbrus | but maybe we can keep fpc in with backporting. | 21:21 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | jdong: yeah that is what i did but it seems hackish haha | 21:23 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | too bad there is no such thing as dh_rename | 21:24 |

| SUNWjoejaxx | i think i would feel better | 21:24 |
| SUNWjoejaxx | lol | 21:24 |
| RainCT | \sh: why isn't Leonov in the WhoUsesBzr page? :) | 21:24 |
| directhex | quentusrex, i don't know whether there's a specific way of handling that file. there might be. is there a php team you can ask? | 21:25 |
| jmarsden | quentusrex: Don't patch the php.ini, just add what you need under /etc/php5/conf.d/ | 21:25 |
| quentusrex | jmarsden: would that override the upload_max_filesize? I need it changed from 2M to 20M | 21:26 |
| jmarsden | I don't know... I think it will. Try it and see? | 21:26 |
| quentusrex | Also, how does apt-get handle package updates? do I have to manually specify the what should change? or will it handle what has changed? | 21:27 |
| jmarsden | quentusrex: Your question makes no sense to me. apt-get installs packages... it doesn't let you say "install this bit of the package only..."? | 21:28 |
| RainCT | \sh: oh, it is :) | 21:28 |
| directhex | jmarsden, no, it DOES ask you about config files | 21:28 |
| directhex | jmarsden, assuming some criteria are met, etc | 21:29 |
| quentusrex | I mean, if I have a script that adds a user, and a group, etc. And the user installs my package. Then I have to change some of the documentation. Will it try to add the user and group during the update? | 21:29 |
| jmarsden | Not if your script checks whether that user/group alraedy exist before it adds them :) | 21:29 |
| quentusrex | jmarsden: the reason I use that as an example, is I have a script that modifies a mysql table. I don't want that part run during an update. Only an install.... | 21:30 |
| quentusrex | So if the person installs mypackage-0.2 the script is run. But if they are updating from mypackage-0.1 to 0.2, then it shouldn't run... | 21:31 |
| jmarsden | There is a way to test for that... but I forget what it is... read the docs on what dpkg really does during an update... | 21:31 |
| quentusrex | ok | 21:32 |
| quentusrex | I wish there was more clear documentation on how to package software... | 21:33 |
| quentusrex | Either I've completely missed something... or there is a steep learning curve for packaging software... | 21:33 |
| jmarsden | quentusrex: It's steep, but not vertical :) | 21:35 |

| quentusrex | I have a package I'm trying to test and it has dependancies... | 21:38 |
| * Elbrus uses pdebuild (depends on pbuilder) but had to resort to sbuild the other day for one package... | 21:38 | |
| jmarsden | quentusrex: quentusrex Yes, if you set up a local repo. Maybe just use dpkg -i to install it? | 21:39 |
| quentusrex | I use dpkg -i to install it, but dpkg won't download and install the dependancies... | 21:39 |
| Elbrus | quentusrex: example of building your own repo: http://blogs.cae.tntech.edu/mwr/2007/05/28/my-own-private-debian-repository/ | 21:40 |
| Elbrus | but dpkg -i should take dependancies into account, right? | 21:41 |
| quentusrex | it gives me errors... | 21:41 |
| Elbrus | which are? | 21:41 |
| quentusrex | saying that the packages aren't installed. | 21:41 |

| quentusrex | I'll have to try again to get the errors... Thank goodness for a virtualized testing server... | 21:42 |
| nhandler | Elbrus: dpkg does NOT handle dependencies | 21:43 |
| awmcclain | quentusrex: Take a look at pbuilder too. | 21:43 |
| Elbrus | oops | 21:43 |
| nhandler | Depending on what you are doing, apt-get build-dep can sometimes help | 21:44 |
| quentusrex | pbuilder is useful, but I am trying to install it on an actual usable machine. | 21:44 |
| quentusrex | I'm testing fuctionality at this stage. | 21:44 |
| awmcclain | quentusrex: Ah. Sorry. | 21:44 |
| quentusrex | nhandler: can build-dep handle a local file rather than a file in the repo? | 21:44 |
| nhandler | quentusrex: The file was never in the repos? | 21:45 |
| quentusrex | not yet... | 21:45 |
| awmcclain | Sorry for the n00b question, but it's been a while since I've done package maintenance. Pbuilder automatically fetches the packages in Build-Depends*, right? That's what I'm trying to test. | 21:45 |
| nhandler | Another option is to use a PPA. Upload the package, add the entry to your sources.list, and then install it using apt | 21:45 |
| quentusrex | I'm going to be the first to 'hopefully' put it there... | 21:45 |
| jmarsden | awmcclain: Yes | 21:45 |
| nhandler | Yes it does awmcclain | 21:45 |
| quentusrex | nhandler: that could work... | 21:45 |
| awmcclain | nhandler: Can't you apt-get install the package after dpkg -i fails due to dependencies? | 21:46 |
| awmcclain | I seem to remember doing that. | 21:46 |
| nhandler | awmcclain: You can. But I'm not sure what quentusrex is trying to test | 21:46 |
| nhandler | I don't think he wants to manually apt-get each dependeny | 21:47 |
| awmcclain | One last thing... is it still the best route to get a package into debian, then port to ubuntu? | 21:47 |
| jmarsden | Best, as long as time is not critical, I'd say | 21:48 |
| awmcclain | Heh. So I've seen. Thank you all. | 21:48 |
| === cr3_ is now known as cr3 | ||
| awmcclain | nhandler: Oh, no, from what I've seen (though I haven't tested in a while), is that apt will get your dependencies for you on a botched dpkg -i. | 22:03 |
| nhandler | awmcclain: apt won't do it automatically. dpkg will complain about you not having the dependencies installed. You can then use apt to install them (manually) | 22:04 |
| awmcclain | Each dependency individually? | 22:05 |
| nhandler | awmcclain: Yes. However, now that I think about it, I think gdebi might be able to fetch the dependencies automatically for you if they are missing (but I'm not positive) | 22:06 |
| azeem | you can usually try to run apt-get -f install | 22:06 |
| awmcclain | Oh boo. http://paste.ubuntu.com/78157/ | 22:12 |
| awmcclain | Ah ha. the pbuilder conf is broken in the ubuntu package. | 23:20 |
| quentusrex | Can someone check some warnings for me? https://launchpad.net/+builds/lansones | 23:26 |
| quentusrex | Does that look 'broken' | 23:26 |
| awmcclain | Not to me. The build environment will download the build dependencies IIRC | 23:28 |
| quentusrex | thanks awmcclain it's my first... I'm all kinds of nervous.... | 23:29 |
| awmcclain | quentusrex: Oh, it'll break somewhere else. Then you just need to make changes and reupload. ;) | 23:30 |
| awmcclain | quentusrex: Are you testing in pbuilder before you upload? | 23:30 |
| quentusrex | awmcclain: I'm building it with my actual system. and that works. | 23:37 |
| quentusrex | yay it worked. | 23:37 |
| awmcclain | quentusrex: Right, but that would only be a useful test the first time (in terms of dependencies), unless you remove all the build-deps and dependencies after each build. | 23:37 |
| quentusrex | :) | 23:37 |
