| * maxb re-raises the question about remove-patch, and questions the clean target's completeness | 00:01 | |
| AdamDH | remove-patch was going to be used in clean target | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| maxb | well: (1) it isn't, and (2) it doesn't need a stamp file | 00:02 |
| AdamDH | whats wrong with the clean section? | 00:03 |
| maxb | Well, it doesn't remove src/, for a start | 00:04 |

| maxb | You should make a copy of your source package, do a build, and a clean, and then see if there are any differences (stuff left over). If there are, your clean isn't complete | 00:09 |
| directhex | so who wants to write a clean rule for my ikvm package/ think of it as, uh, a technical challenge! | 00:10 |

| tmurder | is there some automagic way to check compliance with a Debian Policy Standards-Version (3.8.0) ? | 06:16 |
| fabrice_sp | Morning dholbach | 06:16 |
| dholbach | hiya fabrice_sp | 06:16 |
| iulian | dholbach: I have just woken up. I'm going my homework now. | 06:16 |

| iulian | Heh | 06:20 |
| slytherin | persia: ping | 06:22 |
| slytherin | tmurder: lintian | 06:22 |
| dholbach | I don't think that running lintian on your package will give you 100% policy compliance safety | 06:24 |
| dholbach | but it's a very good indicator for things that are wrong in your package | 06:24 |
| * persia studiously ignores contentless pings | 06:33 | |
| slytherin | persia: ok, here is the one with content. Most of the packages needed for maven 2 support seem to be uploaded in Debian. But since we are post DIF I have to file sync bugs after verifying that Debian sources built in jaunty pbuilder. I was wondering if I should bug one particular archive admin for all the syncs. | 06:35 |
| persia | I generally don't bug the archive-admins about syncs, except where there is some priority that something needs to be done soonest. | 06:36 |
| persia | If there's a specific order in which they should be synced to build cleanly, then it's worth putting that on the wiki, and adding a note to each of the sync bugs pointing to that doc, so that they don't get pulled out-of-order, although Soyuz *should* autodetect this, and build them in the right order. | 06:37 |
| persia | If there is a priority, bug the archive-admin of the day (days posted in the archive administration section of the wiki) | 06:37 |
| slytherin | persia: I usually don't file sync bugs without verifying that it builds. As of now I am waiting for sync on one package after which I can evaluate it's reverse-build-depends. | 06:38 |
| persia | Then that package counts as priority, as your work is blocked. Try something like "could an archive admin please prioritise the sync of foo (bug #nnnnnn) from {unstable, experimental}: it's blocking processing of a host of other syncs for maven support" in #ubuntu-devel. I'd recommend asking either early in your morning, or in your evening, as that's when you'd most likely find an archive admin (I don't think there are any between UTC+1 and U | 06:40 |
| persia | TC+11) | 06:40 |
| slytherin | persia: I will ask in evening then. | 06:41 |
| tmurder | should i be building static libraries too, if i have the option? default is no. | 06:53 |
| didrocks | morning everyone o/ | 06:55 |
| persia | tmurder, I'd recommend not doing it unless there is an overwhelming reason to do so: static libraries don't tend to automatically get security updates, which can mean a *lot* of recompiling, depending on the library. | 07:03 |
| tmurder | ok, thanks | 07:06 |
| stefanlsd | why doesnt mom or dad let u know when u have merges... do you think some people don't even know they have merges to do? | 07:18 |
| stefanlsd | james_w: can i grab some of your merges? | 07:20 |
| persia | stefanlsd, Because merges weren't owned when MoM was invented, and DaD mirrored MoM's behaviour. There's still a school of thought that says merges shouldn't be owned, but there's another school of thought that those who work on a package know it best. I think we're still reaching for the right balance. | 07:29 |
| stefanlsd | persia: yeah. im never sure if someone minds if you just take their merge and do it, or if they know something that would save a ton a trouble and its best for them to do it. from the schedule tho, merges should of been completed 25th dec. (and debian in import freeze, so not too much will change) and there's still about 100 outstanding... | 07:32 |
| persia | stefanlsd, I'd personally recommend evaluating the Debian changes, and the history. | 07:33 |
| stefanlsd | would be nice if someone could just indicate, as a preference, like... feel free to grab, or i would prefer to do it myself kinda thing | 07:34 |
| persia | If the package is primarily uploaded by a single person, and the changes are complex or interesting, then it makes much more sense to ask them. | 07:34 |
| persia | If the package has small or standard changes, and a variety of uploaders, then it's probably safe to do. | 07:34 |
| persia | In either case, the specific changes in Debian should be the overriding concern when deciding which is correct: it's not worth doing a merge unless there's some specific benefit to Ubuntu from the merge, at this point. | 07:35 |
| pwnguin | yay, new desmume! | 07:35 |
| persia | So, if the maintainer changed, or there was a minor update, don't bother. If it's a critical bugfix, it's worth merging, if we don't already have the fix in Ubuntu. | 07:36 |
| stefanlsd | persia: ok. new version we always want to merge thou.. i agree, small changes with a debian revision that dont fix anything, are prob not required. | 07:38 |
| pwnguin | anyone remember what the name of that ubuntu game oriented project was? | 07:38 |
| pwnguin | xeiso | 07:40 |
| persia | stefanlsd, Actually, no. We specifically *don't* always want to merge a new version after DIF. | 07:44 |
| persia | We want to review the impact of the new version on the release we are building, and merge it iff it will improve the coming release. | 07:44 |
| persia | Often when there is just a Debian revision bump, it's far more important to do the merge, as these are frequently bugfixes. | 07:45 |
| stefanlsd | persia: mmm. ok. makes sense also. i guess also app minor revisions. yeah, we dont want major revisions and api/abi changes to break stuff | 07:46 |
| persia | Except when we do :) | 07:46 |
| persia | For instance, if a new version of a library comes out, with an ABI change, and some API additions (but no removals or context changes), and upstream declared this was the version to support, and that they planned to offer several years of bugfix support, we'd want that over whatever we had. | 07:47 |
| persia | (Assuming we trust upstream, which we usually do) | 07:47 |
| persia | Or something where there's a central set of servers (e.g. network games), where we want to support the current server version protocol, we'd upgrade to the newer version. | 07:48 |
| stefanlsd | persia: kk. thanks. makes total sense. so actually saying 100 merges remaining doesnt really matter. dad is nice when u can make a comment. like some say, not neccessary. | 07:49 |
| persia | Well, are the "outstanding" merges or "new" merges? | 07:49 |
| persia | If we've never merged yet in the jaunty cycle, they deserve a good hard look. If we've merged before, it's just a quicker look to try to determine the state. | 07:50 |
| persia | Sometimes I would like comments, just so someone could say "I reviewed 1.2.3-4: no benefit" or "I'll do this on the weekend: I'm in touch with upstream on a couple outstanding issues". | 07:50 |
| stefanlsd | yeah. i've looked at a couple of them to find existing merge or sync bugs (although its my fault by not checking, would still be nice if we had one place with the info...) | 07:52 |
| persia | The launchpad crew is looking at having syncs from registered sync sources be fully supported, which persumably would be expressed in a way that MoM could then parse at some point in the future. | 07:55 |
| persia | There was also some talk at UDS about attempting to parse patches submitted to launchpad for application against bzr trees for packages, and present that in a UI somehow, which might catch the merge bugs. | 07:55 |
| persia | Given that, it's probably not worth trying to create a system now, when there's the possibility of doing it in an integrated fashion later. MInd you, "later" is poorly defined. | 07:56 |
| stefanlsd | yeah. its pretty good, but i guess it takes time to improve process and systems | 08:00 |
| persia | RIght. Until then, we relay on clear thought and a common goal, which mostly works :) | 08:01 |
| stefanlsd | with communication. which helps :) | 08:02 |
| stefanlsd | where can i see history of a package and why its not in jaunty. looking for libmagick9-dev which is in intrepid and in sid... i see what its been replaced by in debian experimental, just wanted to know who makes the call in jaunty and where i would see it? | 08:10 |
| persia | stefanlsd, You'd need to translate the binary package name into a source package name (in this case imagemagick). Then look at the binary packages produced by the current imagemagick. | 08:12 |
| persia | The set of included binary package names is determined by those who adjust each source package (developers generally, but typically the relevant Debian maintainer) | 08:12 |
| persia | The set of included source packages is determined by the archive-admins, based on input (as bugs) by developers. | 08:13 |

| AdamDH | Package msp430-binutils is not installed. | 10:45 |
| AdamDH | even tho its installed | 10:45 |
| AdamDH | any ideas? | 10:45 |
| directhex | it's available inside the pbuilder? | 10:50 |
| persia | AdamDH, Can your pbuilder see a repo that provides msp430-binutils? | 11:36 |
| DktrKranz | is anybody able to display https://roundup.mplayerhq.hu/roundup/ffmpeg/issue711 ? | 11:41 |

| DktrKranz | I'll try later, thanks ;) | 11:44 |
| AdamDH | no non of my packages are in a repo | 11:51 |
| persia | AdamDH, You could force-install it into the pbuilder with --save-after-login, but you might do better to use a PPA for that one package, or apt-ftparchive for a local package directory. | 11:52 |
| maxb | I like to turn /var/cache/pbuilder/result into a repository, such that pbuilder can see packages that it build in previous runs | 11:59 |
| DktrKranz | http://hattory.no-ip.info/jaunty/result/mlt_0.3.4-0ubuntu2/mlt_0.3.4-0ubuntu2.buildlog is pbuilder going crazy? | 11:59 |
| persia | DktrKranz, Do you get debian/control from dpkg-source -x ? | 12:00 |
| DktrKranz | yes, the interesting part is everything goes fine on i386 | 12:01 |
| DktrKranz | this happens on my amd64 buildserver | 12:01 |
| AdamDH | i am on an amd64 system any way I can force it to make an x86 binary? | 12:02 |
| directhex | use an i386 pbuilder | 12:02 |
| persia | DktrKranz, Very odd. Especially odd that it appears to build a dependencies line, and then claim it can't find debian/control. | 12:06 |
| persia | This can be repeated? Are you low on temporary space for the pbuilder run? | 12:07 |
| DktrKranz | Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on | 12:07 |

| stefanlsd | what are the consequences of having a build-dep which isnt really required? | 12:08 |
| persia | Curiouser and Curiouser. Does sbuild also break there? | 12:08 |
| DktrKranz | no sbuild installed | 12:09 |
| persia | (and no, sbuild/schroot *doesn't* need LVM, it's just better that way) | 12:09 |
| persia | Is the source package somewhere easy to grab? | 12:09 |
| persia | (unsigned, please) | 12:09 |
| persia | Or rather, I like the source signed, but not .changes :) | 12:10 |
| hyperair | persia: why not | 12:10 |
| DktrKranz | persia, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mlt/0.3.4-0ubuntu2 :) | 12:10 |
| persia | hyperair, Because a signed .changes file for something that shouldn't be uploaded is a dangerous thing to exist. | 12:10 |
| persia | DktrKranz, Ah, repo. Grabbing. | 12:10 |
| DktrKranz | just uploaded, so you need pull-lp-source | 12:11 |
| persia | Not published yet? I thought it didn't work. | 12:11 |
| hyperair | persia: what dyou mean something that shouldn't be uploaded? | 12:11 |
| maxb | Gah. I wrote my own script not realizing pull-lp-source existed :-/ | 12:11 |
| DktrKranz | maxb, heh :) | 12:12 |
| persia | hyperair, Say I'm working on a package, and there's a bug, and I haven't fixed it yet. I don7t want that uploaded until it's fixed, but I might want to share it with others so they can help debug. | 12:12 |
| maxb | though mine pulls from debian too | 12:12 |
| persia | DktrKranz, The amd64 buildd is already building under sbuild: no point me restarting. | 12:12 |
| hyperair | aah i see | 12:12 |
| hyperair | i'd just share the diff.gz file | 12:13 |
| nhandler | maxb: There is a pull-debian-source script too ;) | 12:13 |
| persia | hyperair, Well, I like signed .dsc just because I'm lazy and like dget :) | 12:13 |
| hyperair | heh | 12:13 |
| hyperair | i se | 12:13 |
| persia | But yes, the diff.gz is the only useful part. One of these days, someone ought write the script that converts from diff.gz to full package. | 12:13 |
| * DktrKranz tries to launch pdebuild to see if things change | 12:14 | |
| persia | Grumble. crested log shows it purging everything, but build record says the log isn't available yet. | 12:14 |
| hyperair | nhandler: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=codelite | 12:14 |
| hyperair | persia: you can't generate a full package without the orig.tar.gz | 12:14 |
| hyperair | and it's not scriptable either | 12:15 |
| persia | hyperair, Actually, you often can. The diff.gz just either needs an accurate watch file, or a working get-orig-source rule. | 12:15 |
| nhandler | hyperair: I know, I'll get to codelite soon. I've just been busy | 12:15 |
| hyperair | nhandler: okay then. | 12:15 |
| persia | and, yes, it is scriptable. I've a (mostly broken) script that does it, that needs some work, and productionising. | 12:15 |
| hyperair | hmm | 12:15 |
| hyperair | i see | 12:15 |
| hyperair | with the debian/watch file eh | 12:16 |
| persia | Or debian/rules get-orig-source | 12:16 |
| hyperair | i see | 12:16 |
| persia | My script tried get-orig-source first, and uscan if that failed. | 12:16 |
| hyperair | but it won't get the exact version | 12:16 |
| hyperair | and for repackaged sources, it won't work | 12:16 |
| persia | It will for a correctly written get-orig-source that does reproducible repackaging checksums. | 12:16 |
| hyperair | eh? | 12:17 |
| persia | And yes, it won't get the original source, it gets the current best source. Personally, I wanted get-orig-source to get the correct source for the package, rather than the latest upstream, but policy optimised for developers rather than users (as only makes sense). | 12:17 |
| hyperair | i can't remember what get-orig-source does again | 12:17 |
| persia | It gets the latest upstream source, repackages as necessary, and provides orig.tar.gz. | 12:17 |
| hyperair | i see | 12:18 |
| persia | So, theoretically, if one added X-orig-md5sum: to the Source stanza in debian/control, one ought to be able to fully trustfully automate collection of original sources, which ought reduce all this fuss about mismatched origs, but that's a ways off, at least. | 12:20 |
| persia | DktrKranz, It's your pbuilder. Works fine on the buildds. | 12:21 |

| didrocks | is it possible to run some daily cron job by a non root user like www-data (appart from writing this in the script)? run-parts runs as root from /etc/crontab and run every scripts in /etc/cron.daily/. I want to make that in a package, so not edit one user's crontab | 12:23 |
| persia | didrocks, Why not create a system users (like www-data), and then install it in that user's crontab? | 12:25 |
| didrocks | persia: system user has to be declared with fixed uid from debian policy, right? (I thought I read something on that...) | 12:26 |
| persia | Well, there's a couple classes of system user. | 12:27 |
| didrocks | do you have a link on that? But I think you go the point :) | 12:28 |
| maxb | didrocks: What you want is to put a file into /etc/cron.d/ | 12:30 |
| persia | didrocks, Policy 9.2.2: UID 0-99 is statically assigned, 100-999 is dynamically allocated at package installation time (adduser --system) | 12:30 |
| didrocks | maxb: and that file executed by another user than root | 12:31 |
| didrocks | persia: thanks a lot :) | 12:31 |
| DktrKranz | persia, interestingly, it seems only jaunty pbuilder is affected, intrepid builds are fine... | 12:31 |
| didrocks | persia: so, I think, I will go in this way. Thanks :) | 12:31 |
| persia | DktrKranz, methinks you've found a bug :) | 12:31 |
| DktrKranz | really | 12:32 |
| maxb | didrocks: If you look at one of the existing files in /etc/cron.d/, you will see that you specify a username in it | 12:33 |
| didrocks | maxb: I use the default run-parts and drop files in */cron.{daily,weekly...} | 12:35 |
| didrocks | maxb: that was part of my issue but I will use a system user for that | 12:35 |
| maxb | Are you sure you need a user? | 12:35 |
| maxb | Even if you do create a special user, I think it is wrong to install crontabs for non-human users | 12:36 |
| maxb | that's what /etc/ is for | 12:36 |
| didrocks | maxb: I try to catch up some additional services for transmission-daemon and want to run it as a transmission user | 12:37 |
| maxb | Then you do want to create a user, but any cron stuff should go in /etc/, not a crontab(1)-installed one | 12:38 |
| persia | maxb, so `su ${transmission-user} -c ${command}` would be your advice ? | 12:39 |
| maxb | No | 12:40 |
| didrocks | persia: it was my first idea | 12:40 |
| maxb | Go look in /etc/cron.d/ on your system | 12:40 |
| persia | Oh, those file names are usernames? Nifty. | 12:40 |
| maxb | No, the file names are not usernames | 12:40 |
| persia | No, package names. but one can still fix them. | 12:41 |
| persia | Yeah, that's lots better. | 12:41 |
| maxb | the username goes in the cron-line - the files are fragments that get processed like /etc/crontab does | 12:41 |
| didrocks | ok, I thought they were no username in thoses files, like the one in cron.{daily...}, but there are :) | 12:41 |
| didrocks | yes I see, there are regular crontab files :) | 12:41 |
| didrocks | thanks both of you! | 12:41 |
| persia | maxb deserves all the thanks: I just recommended the wrong solution :) | 12:42 |
| didrocks | persia: yes but you give so many good advice that I can't blame you :) | 12:43 |
| didrocks | maxb: next time, I will read more carefully man cron :) | 12:45 |

| mok0 | soc: you shouldn't make a native package | 14:24 |
| soc | mok0: i can't figure out how to do a non-native one ... | 14:25 |
| mok0 | soc: you have to | 14:25 |
| soc | the watch file doesn't really work with that http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=tree;f=data/fonts | 14:25 |
| mok0 | soc: it will be made automatically if you have the orig.tar.gz file | 14:25 |
| soc | even if i had figured out that, i'm still missing the right version | 14:25 |
| soc | i just made an archive myself with that .orig.tar.gz | 14:26 |
| soc | because the version of the fonts is only in the fonts intself | 14:26 |
| mok0 | soc: it needs to have the form xxxxx_1.0.orig.tar.gz | 14:26 |
| mok0 | using 1.0 as version | 14:27 |
| mok0 | change that to whatever | 14:27 |
| soc | i made one following that scheme | 14:27 |
| soc | but my "original" tarball isn't really original, because i made it myself | 14:27 |
| mok0 | soc: you need to specify version-release in debian/changlog | 14:27 |
| soc | it isn't available for download somewhere | 14:27 |
| soc | how can i do that? | 14:28 |
| mok0 | soc: you are packaging your own stuff? | 14:28 |
| soc | i'm trying to learn it | 14:28 |
| soc | i'm uploading it first to my ppa, but would be happy if i cloud get it into ubuntu | 14:28 |
| mok0 | soc: you mean how to make a tarball? | 14:28 |
| soc | mok0: no, i just wonder what "original" tarball means | 14:29 |
| soc | because there is no usable file i can download from upstream | 14:29 |
| mok0 | soc: it's usually a copy of the upstream tarball | 14:29 |
| mok0 | soc: renamed according to the scheme above | 14:30 |
| soc | that won't work | 14:30 |
| soc | the version info is only inside the fonts itself | 14:30 |
| mok0 | soc: then something else is wrong | 14:30 |
| mok0 | soc: please explain | 14:30 |
| soc | the fonts are version 1.00 build 112 | 14:31 |
| soc | and that's only written inside the font file | 14:31 |
| mok0 | soc: can you make a tarball of that directory (without the debian/ one)? | 14:31 |
| soc | which directory? | 14:31 |
| mok0 | soc: where you have the font files | 14:32 |
| soc | http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=tree;f=data/fonts ==> Click on "snapshot" | 14:32 |
| soc | that gets me a archive with some random git revision at the end | 14:32 |
| soc | even if i could figure it out how to clean up that archive, i still can't get the version of the fonts ... | 14:33 |
| mok0 | soc: (my system disk is about to die, so I can't really do much right now) | 14:33 |
| mok0 | soc: so rename the tarball you get from that android.git. place | 14:34 |

| mok0 | soc: you just said it was 1.0 build 112 | 14:35 |
| soc | that is the one currently, but i thought the watch file should help people to update an existing package | 14:35 |
| mok0 | soc: it should, but never mind the watch file right now | 14:36 |
| soc | of course i could hardcode 1.0 build 112, but that wouldn't make sense, would it? | 14:36 |

| directhex | GAH | 14:36 |
| directhex | quilt hates my guts | 14:36 |

| soc | just that get-orig-source atm? | 14:36 |
| mok0 | soc: you can add that later | 14:36 |
| soc | mok0: but the version can change very day | 14:36 |
| mok0 | soc: are you going to update the package every day? | 14:37 |
| soc | no | 14:37 |
| mok0 | soc: First, you have to learn how to build a package | 14:37 |
| soc | but i can't promise that people will get the same file i used for the package and i can't even read out the version | 14:38 |
| soc | mok0: i'm just fixing the last things ... | 14:38 |
| mok0 | soc: right. But as I said, the watch file is not important right now | 14:38 |
| soc | all the other files are ok | 14:39 |
| mok0 | soc: huh? You can't build the source package | 14:39 |
| soc | changelog, control, copyright, install, rules | 14:39 |
| mok0 | soc: remove the clean:: target from rules, and also remove the include .... makefile.mk line | 14:39 |
| soc | ok | 14:39 |
| mok0 | that's line 3 | 14:40 |
| soc | mhh cool | 14:40 |
| soc | now it works | 14:40 |
| soc | i guess i'll upload it now ... | 14:40 |
| mok0 | soc: does the .deb files contain what you expect? | 14:41 |
| soc | i didn't build an deb file yet | 14:41 |
| soc | just did debuild -S -sa | 14:41 |
| mok0 | soc: do you have a pbuilder environment? | 14:41 |
| soc | i tried not to compile anything on my machine, because most of the time these tools won't work cleanly and i don't have the time to clean up the whole mess | 14:43 |
| mok0 | soc: that's why we all use pbuilder | 14:43 |
| soc | and my internet connection is slow | 14:43 |
| mok0 | soc: pbuilder stashes the deb files it downloads away, so you only need to download once | 14:44 |
| soc | and afaiu pbuilder builds a new chroot and therefore downloads all the packages again with things i already have installed ... | 14:44 |
| soc | does it use the files from /var/cache/apt? | 14:44 |
| mok0 | soc: a minimum set | 14:44 |
| mok0 | soc: yes | 14:44 |
| soc | ok, then let's try | 14:44 |
| mok0 | soc: if you have the CD you could copy all the deb files there | 14:44 |
| mok0 | soc: but the compiler etc is not on the CD though | 14:45 |
| persia | Does it do that by default now? One used to have to specifically bind that directory manually. | 14:45 |
| persia | Also, compiler is on the CD, in the pool directory. | 14:45 |
| mok0 | persia: Hmm, not sure | 14:45 |
| mok0 | persia: ah I stand corrected | 14:45 |
| soc | "Default mirror site:"?? | 14:45 |
| soc | this is a question i get when installing pbuilder | 14:46 |
| soc | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu? | 14:46 |
| mok0 | soc: you could use ubuntu.com but it's slow | 14:46 |
| soc | ah k | 14:46 |
| mok0 | soc: preferrably a mirror near you | 14:46 |
| soc | http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 14:47 |

| soc | ok, pbuildinstalled now | 14:47 |
| mok0 | pbuilder --build [options] .dsc-file | 14:48 |
| persia | I'd recommend using two mirrors in your sources.list: the local mirror first, and archive second. apt will pull from the local mirror if it's there, and from archive if it's been updated, but not mirrored yet. | 14:48 |
| persia | Given the mirror refresh cycles, this may get you newly uploaded stuff as much as an hour earlier. | 14:49 |
| soc | mok0: i ran "sudo pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd" before that | 14:50 |
| mok0 | soc: good | 14:50 |
| soc | but somewhere it said "Distribution is jaunty." | 14:50 |
| maxb | debootstrap unfortunately doesn't use /var/cache/apt, it just redownloads. I wrote myself a wrapper which bindmounts /var/cache/apt/archives into the chroot being built to save myself download time. | 14:51 |
| soc | and i don't want this | 14:51 |

| mok0 | bddebian: yo, Dude! | 14:51 |
| bddebian | Hi mok0 | 14:51 |
| mok0 | maxb: huh? I though pbuilder did that by default | 14:52 |
| soc | mok0: mhhh in /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc: | 14:53 |
| maxb | Apparently not, for me. | 14:53 |
| soc | APTCACHE="/var/cache/pbuilder/aptcache/" | 14:53 |
| soc | could i just point to my normal cache directory? | 14:54 |
| soc | /var/cache/apt? | 14:54 |
| mok0 | soc: sure | 14:54 |
| soc | ah ok | 14:54 |
| maxb | I don't think that's enough to make debootstrap use it too, though | 14:54 |
| persia | If you run one release (e.g. hardy) and develop another (e.g. jaunty), keeping them separate can be useful. | 14:55 |
| mok0 | maxb: oh that's probably true | 14:55 |
| mok0 | persia: ... but does it matter? I don't think it does | 14:55 |
| mok0 | persia: (I agree it's messy) | 14:56 |
| * mok0 uses sbuild on an lvm snapshot | 14:56 | |
| persia | mok0, Well, depends. I'd probably want autoclean run regularly on the pbuilder apt-cache, but not on my normal system (as there are times one wants to downgrade, despite the pain) | 14:57 |
| * persia uses sbuild, and has ethernet to a mirror, so this is all theoretical | 14:57 | |
| mok0 | persia: right, of course | 14:57 |
| soc | mhhh ok, no it says validating or retrieving | 14:58 |
| soc | but it's quite fast | 14:58 |
| mok0 | soc: good | 14:58 |
| soc | but my /var/cache/apt directory doesn't change | 14:58 |
| soc | even if the package isn't available there ... | 14:59 |
| soc | i thought it would download the required packages .. | 14:59 |
| mok0 | soc: Like maxb said, it's only pbuilder using the cache, not debootstrap | 14:59 |
| soc | ah k | 14:59 |
| mok0 | soc: when you use pbuilder, it figures out what extra packages it needs and installs them | 15:00 |
| mok0 | soc: downloading if it hast o | 15:00 |
| soc | but pbuilder and apt-get have compatible directory structures? | 15:00 |
| soc | or will it mess up things if i use the same dir for both? | 15:00 |
| mok0 | soc: not if you build for the same distro that's on your rig | 15:00 |
| soc | ah k | 15:01 |
| mok0 | soc: usually people have different dirs for different distros | 15:01 |
| mok0 | soc: if you install ubuntu-dev-tools, theres a wrapper called pbuilder-dist that takes care of a lot of the nitty-gritty | 15:02 |

| mok0 | soc: file names that you want to include in the package relative to topdir | 15:18 |
| soc | addtional files? | 15:19 |
| mok0 | soc: and in column 2 the directory you want them to go into | 15:19 |

| soc | persia: which initial "/"? | 15:22 |
| mok0 | directhex: there's probably some gnu make macro that can test for the existance of a file | 15:22 |

| jpds | khashayar: New upstream release for a package not in Debian/Ubuntu? | 16:12 |
| khashayar | persia: Somehow, I suspected that :-) | 16:12 |
| persia | First, file a "Please upgrade" bug in the BTS. See if there's any response. Next update the package, and attach a diff.gz to the bug, and subscribe the sponsors. | 16:12 |
| khashayar | Yes, | 16:12 |
| khashayar | Thanks. I'll go about that. | 16:13 |
| directhex | i'm confused how "New upstream release for a package not in Debian/Ubuntu?" is possible | 16:13 |
| persia | Oh, sorry. Package *not* in Debian or Ubutu does go to REVU. | 16:13 |
| * persia missed the "not" | 16:13 | |
| hanska | persia: or, filing a RFP in DBTS :) | 16:13 |
| DktrKranz | directhex, there are several packages to be transitioned against new gnome-sharp2, is a rebuild sufficient or are there adjustments to make? | 16:13 |
| directhex | if it's not in any dist, then it's irrelevant if there's a new upstream - it's a new package, full stop | 16:13 |
| khashayar | The package I'm thinking of is audacity 1.3.6. 1.3.5 is in debian + ubuntu. | 16:13 |
| persia | hanska, For people just starting in Ubuntu, I generally recommend REVU pre-ITP. Many RFPs just sit there for a while. | 16:14 |
| directhex | khashayar, then that's not "not in Debian/Ubuntu" | 16:14 |

| persia | khashayar, In that case, ask in #debian-multimedia on OFTC about the upgrade plans. If they don't mind, just do the upgrade. | 16:15 |

| soc | can i do something like 1.00~b112-2~jaunty and 1.00~b112-2~intrepid? | 16:44 |
| oojah | Yes | 16:46 |

| soc | is there a way to remove _all_ packages from my ppa including the source packages and starting again? | 17:12 |
| DktrKranz | soc, packages are not removed immediately, you should wait a bit or use a higher version numver | 17:12 |
| soc | but incrementing the number of the .orig.tar.gz?? | 17:14 |
| soc | that doesn't make sense really ... | 17:14 |
| DktrKranz | soc, I misread sorry. .orig.tar.gz differ in md5sum, so you should use the one provided by Ubuntu or by your PPA itself for future revisions | 17:15 |
| maxb | soc: Once uploaded, it is never permitted to change the contents of a file. You MUST use a new version number. | 17:19 |

| LaserJock | vorian: do you know if there is a usual maintainer? | 18:28 |
| LaserJock | I'm considering putting it in Main | 18:28 |
| LaserJock | but I'd hate to rip it out of a MOTU's hands | 18:28 |

| sebner | LaserJock: I thought upstream is dead since years? | 18:29 |
| LaserJock | sebner: on kompozer? | 18:29 |
| vorian | LaserJock: yeah, that's tonyyarusso's package | 18:29 |
| LaserJock | we found some signs of life | 18:29 |
| vorian | it hasn't been changed since hardy :o | 18:30 |
| sebner | LaserJock: ah, well lastest release is 5. sep 2007. Besides, the mozilla team told me that it's dead (but another replacement already in work) | 18:30 |
| LaserJock | that's not all that long ago | 18:30 |
| LaserJock | sebner: you happen to remember what it was called? | 18:31 |
| sebner | LaserJock: unfortunately not but it wasn't stable yet anyways. I'll ask the mozilla guys :D | 18:31 |
| LaserJock | it seems like most software is either dead/dying or new/unstable | 18:32 |

| LaserJock | CarlFK: I think that's supposed to be patched-stamp not stamp-patched | 18:52 |
| hanska | CarlFK: line 35 | 18:52 |
| hanska | $(QUILT_STAMPFN) is a dependency of configure-stamp, not a command | 18:52 |
| hanska | thus, that should be | 18:52 |
| hanska | configure-stamp: $(QUILT_STAMPFN) | 18:53 |
| hanska | (i.e. it's a target, not a command inside the configure-stamp target) | 18:53 |
| hanska | CarlFK: also, you forgot the unpatch target as dependency of the clean one | 18:53 |
| CarlFK | right. been years since I did make. thanks | 18:53 |
| hanska | (be careful if you use patched makefiles for the clean -- and, however, I suppose something like "$(MAKE) clean" should go there) | 18:54 |

| tonyyarusso | For when LaserJock returns, there is a new version of KompoZer in the works currently, with an alpha that seems to run pretty well for most people (and better than the current version in Intrepid does). Hopefully that will be finalized in time for 9.04, and either backported or PPAd for 8.10. The long-term replacement, BlueGriffon, is likely to be ready in time for 9.10 (hopefully). | 20:23 |

| calc | slytherin: ok | 20:32 |
| calc | slytherin: whats up? | 20:32 |
| slytherin | calc: with all the java libraries that are build dependencies of OOo 3, are we expecting them to be included on CD? Also does that mean a JRE will be included? | 20:33 |
| calc | slytherin: not included on the cd, no | 20:34 |
| calc | slytherin: they are needed for build-depends and will be in main so if you install 'openoffice.org' they will be pulled in | 20:34 |
| calc | there isn't nearly enough space on the cd to actually include all of openoffice.org much less all of its dependencies | 20:35 |

| soc | "The Maintainer field is invalid. It has to contain an @ubuntu.com address (usually the Ubuntu MOTU Team's)." | 22:12 |

| jpds | soc: make sure you have the ubuntu-dev-tools package installed and run: update-maintainer in the source root. | 22:12 |
| soc | motu@ubuntu.com? | 22:12 |
| Adri2000 | Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com> | 22:12 |
| Adri2000 | but better use update-maintainer indeed | 22:12 |
| jpds | the script will do it for you, but that's the address^ | 22:13 |
| RainCT | jpds: Cron job added. If you ever want to run the importer manually, do "sudo /srv/ppa_import.sh" (this new file implements a lock) | 22:13 |
| jpds | RainCT: OK. Thanks. | 22:14 |
| soc | jpds: which section do i need? | 22:21 |
| soc | universe? | 22:21 |

| Adri2000 | update-maitainer* | 22:21 |

| soc | ok, chose universe | 22:22 |
| soc | seems to be right | 22:22 |
| jpds | Yeah, it's in universe. | 22:22 |
| soc | Note: This package has no debian/watch file or get-orig-source rule. | 22:24 |
| soc | is that too bad? | 22:24 |
| soc | because i'm sure that i can't fullfill that wish | 22:24 |
| soc | or maybe just get-orig-source | 22:25 |
| soc | but that won't help people to update the package | 22:25 |

| soc | can someone review http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=ttf-droid | 22:40 |
| soc | this is a package with some fonts, so it isn't much work, i guess | 22:40 |
| jpds | james_w: You have my + for ppamadison in u-d-t. | 22:49 |
| james_w | cool, thanks jpds | 22:49 |
| james_w | though that means I'll have to make it work more than just writing some output on my blog :-) | 22:50 |
| soc | is it a good idea to downgrade the Build-Depends from debhelper (>= 7) to debhelper (>= 6) so it builds on hardy correctly? | 22:50 |
| soc | or should i leave it alone? | 22:50 |
| jpds | soc: If you want to backport it later on, yees. | 22:51 |
| soc | down-grade? | 22:51 |
| soc | do have to change the debian/compat file too? | 22:51 |
| jpds | Yep. But you only would need to do it if you want to backport it to hardy. | 22:52 |
| Adri2000 | james_w: is ppamadison useful for ubuntu development? if it's only related to ppa I'm not sure everyone will agree | 22:52 |
| soc | or can i request behavior version 7 and if the versio of debhelper is too old it will fail gracefully? | 22:52 |
| soc | jpds: i'm thinking of debian at the moment | 22:52 |
| james_w | Adri2000: some people use PPAs for development, so it might be useful to them | 22:52 |
| soc | they have all the outdated things there ... | 22:52 |
| james_w | I don't really want to start a new project | 22:53 |
| jpds | soc: Then check which version if debhelper is in stable (I think it's 5). | 22:53 |
| soc | jpds: yes, just checked it | 22:53 |
| soc | it's 5.0.42 | 22:53 |
| soc | so it won't make a difference | 22:53 |
| soc | then i guess i'll leave it | 22:54 |
| Adri2000 | james_w: I'm saying that because of what happened with ppaput | 22:54 |
| soc | jpds: could you look on my package for a few seconds? | 22:54 |
| jpds | soc: what's debian/bug/script for? | 22:56 |
| soc | jpds: i took that from the ttf-liberation package | 22:58 |
| jpds | soc: Package not in Ubuntu/Debian. changelog should only have one entry with "Initial release." and version ending in -0ubuntu1. | 22:58 |
| soc | i guess it has something to do with debian/bug/presubj | 22:58 |
| jpds | soc: is there actually a release of the font on the web somewhere? | 22:59 |
| james_w | debian/bug/script is a reportbug script isn't it? | 22:59 |
| jpds | soc: if not: I think the version ought to be: 0.0~gitYYYYMMDD-0ubuntu1. | 23:00 |
| jpds | james_w: It has a dpkg command in it, no idea what it does. | 23:00 |
| soc | jpds: version from what? | 23:00 |
| jpds | soc: debian/changelog. | 23:01 |
| jpds | james_w: Actually looks like it grabs from some packages. | 23:01 |
| soc | i took the version from the fonts | 23:01 |
| jpds | OK. Didn't see that anywhere. | 23:01 |
| soc | james_w: that could be, i don't understand what that at the end should be, i get /home/soc/Entwicklung/Pakete/ttf-droid-1.00~b112/debian/bug/script: 3: 3: Bad file descriptor | 23:02 |
| jpds | soc: Might be a good idea to put the copyright text in README.txt in debian/copyright. | 23:02 |
| soc | jpds: that's my problem with debian/watch ... to see the version of the font, i have to open fontforge .. i gues that can't be automated | 23:03 |
| soc | i don't have a README.txt .... | 23:04 |
| jpds | soc: it's in the git repo linked from the package. | 23:04 |
| jpds | soc: It is possible to parse web pages for tarballs for watch files, take a look at http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/wwiz_detail.php?id=15766059&type=watch - for example. | 23:05 |
| soc | yes, i already tried that | 23:06 |
| soc | but the tarballs always have some git revision at the end | 23:06 |
| soc | and i can't get the version of the fonts | 23:06 |
| soc | to get the version i have to open them with fontforge | 23:06 |
| soc | regarding the README.txt: i didn't take that one, because the font files stated something different | 23:07 |
| jpds | Hmm, well, I'm going to bed for real time this time. | 23:07 |
| jpds | soc: OK; I'll take another look when I'm more awake in the morning. | 23:07 |
| soc | and because i'm not distributing the whole tarball with lots of android opensource project files, but just the google files, i wrote google in the copyright | 23:08 |
| soc | because in the font files, google is stated as the copyright holder | 23:14 |
| soc | ok, new version for revu and ppa | 23:14 |
| soc | is someone willing to look at the package? | 23:25 |
| soc | i'm just uploading a new one, after reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU/CheckList and setting the version back to 0ubuntu1 | 23:26 |
