| jpds | Ahh, right. bobbo ^ | 00:18 |
| bobbo | ah, I bet it was from changes in REVU | 00:18 |
| Hobbsee | bobbo: ppa, most likely | 00:18 |
| bobbo | Hobbsee: yeah, something like, that | 00:18 |
| bobbo | rofl, I almost cried when I saw it :) | 00:19 |
| Hobbsee | based on the second changelog entry, anyway | 00:19 |
| Laney | It looks to be alright apart from the changelog though | 00:19 |
| Laney | from a scan of the diff | 00:19 |
| marnold | looks like all changelog entries were included in the .changes | 00:19 |

| marnold | I am supposedly a part of it so :( again | 00:50 |
| marnold | even my CS class is like that | 00:51 |
| marnold | i was explaining why somebody's for loop didn't work | 00:51 |
| marnold | and when i asked if he understood | 00:52 |
| marnold | he says "No, because you were talking to much" | 00:53 |
| directhex | they don't need to understand things, that's wikipedia's job! | 00:55 |
| directhex | well i never, a genuine NCommander! | 00:56 |
| marnold | and then he says "So whats the code to correct this?" | 00:56 |
| * NCommander fails to validate | 00:56 | |
| NCommander | I'm not genuine at all :-P | 00:56 |
| Hobbsee | marnold: i thought that was where you gave them the wikipedia link, and said "read this first, then come back with questions" | 00:56 |
| directhex | Hobbsee, give a man a fire, he's warm for a day. set him on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life! | 00:57 |
| * Hobbsee actually found wikipedia quite helpful this yera for one of her subjects - although perhaps that was because the lecturers, and hte lecture notes, weren't great. | 00:57 | |

| directhex | Hobbsee, not recently. why? | 00:58 |
| Hobbsee | oh, good ;) | 00:58 |

| serialorder | Question that has been confusing me lately. How should one choose among: iceape-dev, seamonkey-dev, libxul-dev, xulrunner-1.9-dev ? | 01:08 |
| directhex | serialorder, 'ubuntu-mozillateam | 01:09 |
| serialorder | directhex, thanks | 01:09 |
| directhex | serialorder, generally speaking, is your package browser specific, or does it apply to all moz-based browsers?do you want to use your package on debian? | 01:09 |
| serialorder | it was a merge i was working on last week. It FTBFS because it depended on iceape-dev but when I changed it to depend on libxul-dev it built fine. Then as I investigated the various packages there seemed to be those four and each one recommended using another one rather than itself. | 01:11 |
| serialorder | but i will now go pester ubuntu-mozillateam | 01:12 |
| directhex | IIRC it should be xulrunner-dev (>= 1.9) | xulrunner-1.9-dev | 01:14 |
| directhex | for debian AND ubuntu joy | 01:14 |
| directhex | but don't quote me on that | 01:15 |

| huats | Silly question, but I have installed a jaunty alpha to test my packages in a vm, and I notice that there is an empty xorg.conf... is it normal ? | 09:04 |
| persia | huats, Yes, and intentional. Everything you need should be autodetected. | 09:08 |
| huats | persia: yeah I assumed :) | 09:08 |
| huats | persia: hello btw | 09:09 |
| huats | :) | 09:09 |
| huats | I was just wondering since the resolution is very low | 09:09 |
| huats | and I'd like to have a bigger one... | 09:09 |
| _ruben | huats: you might need an extra/3rd-party driver, depending the virtualization product you use | 09:13 |
| huats | _ruben: hum | 09:13 |
| huats | _ruben: may be indeed | 09:13 |
| didrocks | huats: for virtualbox, you need to add some extra values (it set it up when needed) | 09:13 |
| didrocks | hi btw too ;) | 09:13 |
| huats | but it was working fine as it (I use kvm) | 09:14 |
| huats | _ruben: but I'll have a look in that direction :) | 09:14 |
| _ruben | no experience with kvm myself, but i dont expect it to require additional drivers, could be wrong though .. might be a (k)vm setting as well | 09:15 |
| persia | huats, For some virtualisation solutions, you can just use xrandr to change the resolution. | 09:17 |

| AdamDH | if I am unpacking my source inside the rules file, do I have to move the source any where after that? it would just be in a packagename.version directory | 15:33 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: that's bad practise... | 15:34 |
| AdamDH | i am unpacking upstream source then applying a patch | 15:35 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: I think the fontforge package does that as well, you might want to look at that... if you _must_... | 15:35 |
| AdamDH | this is my second package so any advice would be welcomed | 15:35 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: yeah, then you don't need to unpack the sources in the rules file | 15:35 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: why do you need to unpack in the rules file? | 15:35 |
| AdamDH | dont you need to unpack so you can apply a patch? I am just shipping the upstream .ta.gz for binutils | 15:36 |
| pmjdebruijn | huh | 15:36 |
| pmjdebruijn | no? | 15:36 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: have you read up on dpatch? | 15:36 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: why are you packaging binutils? it is already packaged... | 15:36 |
| AdamDH | because I am packaging a cross compiler, so I apply a patch to the binutils source to add msp430 support like the AVR project does | 15:37 |
| pmjdebruijn | uh | 15:37 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: why not take the current package, and modify that. instead of starting from scratch? | 15:38 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/binutils-avr | 15:38 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: there are several binutils-XXXX already package... take of one those... and modify to your liking | 15:39 |
| AdamDH | i have been playing about with packing on and off for two days and every example package I look at does something diffrent in rules, even if its the same package | 15:39 |
| AdamDH | the binutils-avr package does: | 15:40 |
| AdamDH | binutils-2.18.tar.bz2: | 15:40 |
| AdamDH | ln -s /usr/src/binutils/binutils-*.tar.bz2 binutils-2.18.tar.bz2 | 15:40 |
| AdamDH | so there is a symbolic link to the upstream source, is this the correct way to do this/ | 15:40 |
| AdamDH | ? | 15:40 |
| mgdm | AdamDH: is that for 8-bit AVRs or AVR32? | 15:43 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: you're not particularly starting with the easier thing to package | 15:43 |
| pmjdebruijn | AdamDH: I have no clue on how to "best" handle this | 15:43 |
| AdamDH | the cross compiler I am working on is for the MSP430 microcontrollers | 15:43 |
| * pmjdebruijn is not familiar with building crosscompilers | 15:43 | |
| * mgdm has been swearing at them recently | 15:43 | |
| mgdm | but I didn't try to package it | 15:44 |
| AdamDH | well I know how it all works from a source install | 15:44 |
| AdamDH | mgdm: you have worked with the MSP430s? | 15:45 |
| mgdm | AdamDH: I haven't, I've been fiddling with an AVR32 device lately | 15:45 |
| mgdm | an NGW100 | 15:47 |
| AdamDH | pmjdebruijn: the cross compiler is easy to get working from source, just wanted to stop doing a source install on my systems and package it, basically you have a set of configure arguments, thats easy to run in a package, and a patch I have, you apply the patch to the upstream source, confiure make make install thats all there is to it, oh and some cleaning about | 15:49 |
| AdamDH | so my package was going to have the upstream binytils-2.18.tar.gz I was going to unpack that inside rules and apply the patch, simular to the udev package, is this not the best way to do it? | 15:50 |
| AdamDH | mgdm, running embedded linux on that? | 15:53 |
| mgdm | AdamDH: yep | 15:53 |
| loic-m | Is there anything else to do for a backport request, after filing the bug and ensuring the packages build fine and run ok (in the case of a package that didn't exist in previous versions)? | 15:57 |

| Laney | er | 15:58 |
| Laney | grr, I can't repro this rcbug | 15:59 |
| AnAnt_ | Hello, can someone review bug 311763 ? | 16:05 |
| loic-m | For backport, the Ubuntu wiki says that for anyone wanting to help, the 3rd step is "Helping to build test packages, or feed package requests to the PPA " | 16:05 |

| AdamDH | mgdm, done some embeded work, looking at getting a beagleboard next | 16:10 |
| AdamDH | did you homebrew your dev board? | 16:10 |
| mgdm | AdamDH: Nah, it's an Atmel NGW100 reference design | 16:11 |
| mgdm | I fancy a Beagleboard too, but i wanted something with Ethernet first | 16:11 |
| AdamDH | same thats what is putting me off | 16:11 |
| AdamDH | been looking at the gumstixs | 16:11 |
| mgdm | I've seen a real Beagleboard decoding Big Buck Bunny at big resolution, it was cool :) | 16:13 |
| AdamDH | the beagle boards have alot of potential, if they added ethernet on board it would be ideal | 16:19 |
| mgdm | I was slightly confused that they don't have it on board - otherwise it'd be (theoretically) great for a cheap MythTV front-end or some such, I'd imagine | 16:20 |
| mgdm | Disclaimer: I might be talking rubbish | 16:20 |

| sebner | AdamDH: of course quilt :P | 16:35 |
| AdamDH | i am looking at the rules inside binutils-avr as this is exactley the same way the binutils-msp package should work the one I am creating, can any one just explain a few lines to me? binutils-2.18.tar.bz2 $(patched) what is $(patched)? | 16:37 |
| AdamDH | its in the configure section: | 16:37 |
| DktrKranz | AdamDH, I played with it a bit | 16:39 |
| AdamDH | ah its part of debhelper I think | 16:39 |
| DktrKranz | binutils-avr uses vanilla binutils source package, taken from binutils-src | 16:39 |
| DktrKranz | it unpacks it in a directory and applies patches using a custom routine | 16:40 |
| DktrKranz | probably because it was too complex to let quilt/dpatch/whatever to work properly that way | 16:41 |
| AdamDH | i played with the patch systems nothing seemed to work so I decided to apply them by hand | 16:41 |
| AdamDH | seems to work better | 16:42 |
| DktrKranz | AdamDH, are you interested in binutils-msp? | 16:42 |
| DktrKranz | I thougth it was OK, probably I was wrong | 16:42 |
| AdamDH | is there a binutils-msp? | 16:43 |
| AdamDH | i am packaging the whole mspgcc tool chain at present | 16:44 |
| DktrKranz | mh... it was probably a different name, then | 16:44 |
| AdamDH | i understand whats going on and whats required its just the paths, does the source have to be in the root or can it be in a directory so inside rulles I do cd ../package && ./configure etc? | 16:52 |
| DktrKranz | IIRC, there's a given directory for that | 16:53 |
| AdamDH | given directory? | 16:54 |

| bbs | Laney: thanks a lot | 17:13 |
| AdamDH | does any one know to a clean example where a patch is applied without a patch system confiure arguments are run and then make make install without any crap in the rules files? just a clean example that just does it from scratch without debhelp cdbs etc? | 17:15 |
| AdamDH | Why is debian packaging so complicated? | 17:18 |
| directhex | AdamDH, because debian packages cover a variety of scenarios | 17:25 |
| directhex | AdamDH, for simple packages, the hard part (debian/rules) needs to be 3 lines max | 17:26 |
| sebner | directhex: 2 if you delete the comment :P | 17:26 |
| AdamDH | directhex can you pastebin me a generic rules file please? | 17:29 |
| AdamDH | just something so I can see how far back it can be stripped back | 17:29 |
| directhex | %: | 17:30 |
| directhex | dh $@ | 17:30 |
| directhex | well, with "#!/usr/bin/make -f" on the first line, of course | 17:31 |
| directhex | and since it's a makefi;e, that's a tab, not 8 spaces | 17:32 |
| AdamDH | yup but there is nothing past to configure no make no make install no make clean so nothing is going to get built? | 17:32 |
| AdamDH | *passed | 17:33 |
| james_w | Laney: thanks a lot for forwarding all of the mono patches | 17:33 |
| directhex | AdamDH, you asked for minimal! | 17:33 |
| AdamDH | i meant minimal that would actually be used to build something minimal | 17:33 |
| AdamDH | *ment | 17:33 |
| directhex | AdamDH, that runs configure with appropriate prefix, make, make install, make clean, etc. | 17:33 |
| directhex | AdamDH, that's enough debian/rules to make a package | 17:33 |
| AdamDH | this is what confuses me coming from another system where it uses basically just shell scripts and you can see cleanly how it works, I have written make files for c / cxx projects | 17:34 |
| Laney | james_w: you're quite welcome | 17:34 |
| AdamDH | with debain I don't see the flow and everyone does something diffrent there is no standard as such, everything seems to just build | 17:35 |
| directhex | AdamDH, so you don't want minimal, you want full. | 17:35 |
| jmarsden|work | AdamDH: man dh may help, look at the examples? | 17:35 |
| AdamDH | i just want to work without a system just a rules file, something blank to start with, I packaged some really basic stuff yesterday to play around but was not 100% sure how things worked | 17:36 |
| directhex | AdamDH, a rules file is a makefile. nothing more, nothing less. | 17:36 |
| james_w | directhex: do you want a sponsor for a merge of gnome-subtitles? | 17:37 |
| directhex | try http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-mono/mono-basic/trunk/debian/rules?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 as a less automated example. | 17:37 |
| directhex | james_w, need sublib first, and ftpmaster just rejected it | 17:37 |
| james_w | ah | 17:37 |
| AdamDH | thanks directhex that looks clean, I can follow that I will have another play | 17:38 |
| Laney | how did it build in debian? | 17:38 |
| directhex | Laney, debian is the land of binary uploads :) | 17:38 |
| * Laney pukes | 17:38 | |
| Laney | there's no policy that it has to be buildable from the archive? | 17:39 |
| directhex | Laney, technically. but with binary uploads, it often isn't the case :) | 17:39 |
| james_w | Laney: yeah, it's an RC bug if it doesn't (and it's in main/contrib) | 17:39 |
| * directhex is fighting ikvm. currently, ikvm is winning | 17:40 | |
| Laney | I guess experimental is more relaxed about these things | 17:40 |
| james_w | indeed | 17:40 |
| james_w | directhex: what makes it tricky? | 17:40 |
| directhex | james_w, generally speaking? it requires its own modified source snapshots of openjdk and gnu classpath, and uses nant to build. those are a good start on the pile of suck | 17:41 |
| directhex | james_w, so for one thing it takes 1.5 gig of ram to compile | 17:41 |
| directhex | thanks to javac bloat | 17:42 |
| james_w | urgh | 17:42 |
| james_w | my sympathies | 17:42 |
| directhex | in this specific case, i'm working on test builds of the new upstream release, to update the neolithic package we have | 17:42 |
| directhex | a test build i now have working! except if i enable assembly signing, it ftbfs with some bollocks reason | 17:42 |
| Laney | talked to upstream? | 17:43 |
| directhex | not yet. hanska did, and the aswer generally was "don't build from source", which is hardly acceptable | 17:43 |
| Laney | hahaha | 17:43 |
| directhex | but i've made more progress than he did | 17:43 |
| * directhex gets out the decompiler, starts decompiling & diffing | 17:44 | |
| Laney | inline changes-- | 17:45 |

| james_w | Laney: genpo uploaded with a few minor tweaks. Thanks for your contribution to Ubuntu :-) | 18:00 |
| Laney | james_w: Heh, I did wonder about that bzr repo | 18:04 |
| Laney | but that guy seemed to keep up with it and I thought he might complain if I took it out | 18:04 |
| Laney | :P | 18:04 |
| jpds | What's the python code is output a list (["x", "y", "z"]) as: "x, y, z"? | 18:39 |
| Laney | >>> ",".join(["a","b","c"]) | 18:41 |
| Laney | 'a,b,c' | 18:41 |
| Laney | jpds: That close enough? | 18:41 |
| Laney | I guess ", ".join(... would work | 18:41 |
| jpds | Laney: Yay, that's works. | 18:42 |

| hyperair | anyone got time for revu? http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=codelite | 19:20 |
| AdamDH | does someone mind taking a look at this and telling me where I have gone wrong? http://pastebin.com/m3c210057 | 19:25 |
| james_w | AdamDH: what's the problem you are having? | 19:27 |
| AdamDH | make: *** [build] Error 2 | 19:28 |
| AdamDH | dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 | 19:28 |
| AdamDH | oh this was before it make: *** [build] Error 2 | 19:28 |
| AdamDH | dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 | 19:28 |
| AdamDH | sorry: | 19:28 |
| AdamDH | make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop | 19:28 |
| james_w | ah | 19:29 |
| james_w | you have "$(MAKE)", but you probably want "cd src && $(MAKE)", or similar | 19:30 |
| james_w | because you want to build what you unpacked in to "src" | 19:30 |
| james_w | "$(MAKE) -C src" might do it as well | 19:30 |
| AdamDH | a thanks james_w did not notice that | 19:32 |
| AdamDH | i got some better code for the patch just hard coded it for the moment to see if it will work | 19:33 |
| AdamDH | cd src && /usr/bin/make | 19:35 |
| AdamDH | cd: 1: can't cd to src | 19:35 |
| AdamDH | so its not extracting the source then? | 19:36 |
| james_w | AdamDH: ah, because build doesn't depend on configure, configure doesn't depend on patch, and patch doesn't depend on unpack | 19:43 |
| AdamDH | right I follow | 19:43 |
| AdamDH | i will fix that | 19:44 |
| AdamDH | thanks James seem to be getting some where now | 19:51 |
| AdamDH | what path do I use for the patch? patches/patch.patch? | 19:52 |
| AdamDH | it cant find the files to patch No file to patch. Skipping patch. patch -stuN -p1 < patches/msp430-binutils-2.18-msp430-cvs.0.0.20081229.patch, should the patch be in the source dir and applied? | 19:59 |
| james_w | nope | 19:59 |
| james_w | it's the same problem as before | 19:59 |
| james_w | you need to cd to src first | 19:59 |
| AdamDH | ah thanks I fought dh_testdir moved into the src, added a cd into it | 20:01 |
| AdamDH | how do I pass arguments to gcc? | 20:25 |
| jmarsden|work | AdamDH: Traditionally, in the Makefile you can do something like CCFLAGS="-ggdb" and make sure the compiler invocation uses $(CFLAGS) | 20:30 |
| AdamDH | here is a good one: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables not had that error for a while, what would cause that? | 21:00 |
| james_w | AdamDH: check config.log | 21:01 |
| james_w | there will be some error in the test compilation | 21:02 |
| AdamDH | where would the log be? had a quick look around cant see it | 21:03 |
| james_w | find . -name "config.log" | 21:04 |
| james_w | it's usually in the same place as the configure script, but it can end up elsewhere in some situations | 21:05 |
| AdamDH | ah solved it, passed Wall as part of the CCFLAGS | 21:07 |
| AdamDH | just getting make problems now to look at | 21:07 |
| AdamDH | is there a document documenting what is required of a package to get it submitted into Ubuntu? | 21:07 |
| Laney | AdamDH: see /topic | 21:08 |
| AdamDH | im getting cc1: warnings being treated as errors, never had this before while compiling the code from source on other systems. I noticed -Werror is part of the defualt CCFLAGS | 21:26 |
| AdamDH | not to sure if passing -Wno-error is a good idea, its not good practice to do that | 21:31 |
| AdamDH | are patches in /patches automatically applied? | 21:40 |
| james_w | ./debian/patches? | 21:41 |
| james_w | not by default | 21:41 |
| james_w | you can enable a patch system, some of which will do it | 21:41 |
| AdamDH | its applying my patch twice once before configure then once after configure and before make | 21:41 |
| Laney | AdamDH: are you using a patch system? | 21:43 |
| AdamDH | configure and make seem to work well but I get make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 23:05 |
| AdamDH | any ideas? I have a $(MAKE) install | 23:05 |
| jmarsden|work | AdamDH: Does that need to be cd src && $(MAKE) install perhaps? | 23:11 |
| AdamDH | crap yes! | 23:11 |
| AdamDH | right its done configure make and make install and I have a feeling for how things should be done now, but I get mkdir: cannot create directory `/opt/msp430': Permission denied right at the end. Any ideas? | 23:18 |
| jmarsden|work | Does the src/Makefile correctly use $(DESTDIR) in its install target? | 23:26 |
| AdamDH | the src/Makefile is from upstream bin-utils with a patch applied, I am guessing it should do | 23:29 |
| jmarsden|work | That'snot good enough... read it and understand it :) | 23:29 |
| jmarsden|work | It sounds like your "make install" is installing into the real /opt/msp430/ instead of into ~you/package/debian/whatever/opt/msp430 | 23:30 |
| jmarsden|work | Which is probably because there is a $(DESTDIR) missing in the Makefile. | 23:30 |
| AdamDH | ah because we are using a chroot to build the package | 23:32 |
| AdamDH | so we install inside that chroot | 23:32 |
| jmarsden|work | Not really a chroot, during the build we install under the package-x.y/debian because we have permission to do that, we don't have full root privs or we'd potentially break our development box... | 23:34 |
| AdamDH | I was doing everything inside a VM as I don't have access to my dev server here | 23:36 |
| jmarsden|work | OK, but you still don't want a packaging attempt to break your VM... | 23:36 |
| jmarsden|work | Imagine packaging gcc if the install during a packaging attempt overwrote /usr/bin/gcc :) | 23:37 |
| AdamDH | yer exp as the gcc cross compiler I am working with is for a diffrent arch! | 23:44 |
| AdamDH | i am packing binutils gcc libc for the msp430 microcontrollers | 23:44 |
| AdamDH | learning allot more about the inner workings of ubuntu / debian by packaging this project | 23:45 |
| AdamDH | we usally do source installs but as I am working on more than one system now that can be time consuming exp if you need to patch in another processor | 23:45 |
| jmarsden|work | OK... so now you know why the install needs to go somewhere other than the "real" install location :) And yes, you'll learn a lot. As the packaging guide says "It is also a good way to learn how Ubuntu and the applications you have installed work." | 23:46 |
| AdamDH | its a bit stress full as I am also new to ubuntu been a gentoo user for a while, but as new people use this project mspgcc its nice to have the packages there for ubuntu as this is what most people favour using now | 23:47 |
| AdamDH | last error I get is dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'amd64' does not appear in package's architecture list (i386) but I set in control i386 so does this need to be set as amd64? | 23:47 |
| AdamDH | or set as any? | 23:48 |
| jmarsden|work | You're jumping into the deep end somewhat packaging a crosscompiler... | 23:49 |
| jmarsden|work | Wait, you are building i386 binaries of a embedded microcontroller compiler on amd64?? | 23:50 |
| jmarsden|work | Sort of cross-cross-compiling? | 23:50 |
| AdamDH | my dev system is amd64 | 23:51 |
| AdamDH | but its an i386 binary thats required | 23:51 |
| jpds | bigon: Thanks for that bug report. Fix commited to Bazaar now | 23:52 |
| jmarsden|work | AdamDH: I think you can't really do that, can you? Maybe you should have made the VM be a 32bit VM??? You need more of a cross compiling/multiple architecture expert than I am to answer that one, I think. | 23:52 |
| bigon | jpds: np :) | 23:53 |
| AdamDH | ah ok should have used a 32bit vm | 23:53 |
| AdamDH | not a problem as If the rules work and I get an amd64 binary then I am allmost there | 23:53 |
| jpds | bigon: Could bzr branch lp:ubuntu-dev-tools and test it out for me? | 23:54 |
| Laney | jpds: The requestsync man page says -ns at the top, but -n in the body | 23:55 |
| jpds | Laney: -s is forced sponsorship-required | 23:56 |
| AdamDH | got my .deb now but when I check with dpkg there are no files included inside the deb just ./ ? why is this? | 23:56 |
| Laney | oh, two separate options/ | 23:56 |
| Laney | ? | 23:56 |
| bigon | jpds: seems to work now | 23:56 |
| jpds | Laney: Yeah. | 23:56 |
| jpds | bigon: \o/ Brilliant. | 23:57 |
| bigon | :) | 23:57 |
| * jpds => bed. G'night all. | 23:58 | |
| bigon | gn | 23:58 |
| AdamDH | so I created a deb that has nothing inside it at least I created a deb package! | 23:58 |
