| spitfire_ | In which package will I find gnome-panel-sharp-2.24 (in jaunty)? | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| Laney | none (yet) | 00:04 |
| Laney | http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/gnome-desktop-sharp2_2.24.0-1.html | 00:04 |
| spitfire_ | Laney: I' trying to get Tomboy | 00:06 |
| spitfire_ | working | 00:06 |
| xnox | Chris`: he means that you might want to convert debian/copyright to a new copyright format as described on that wikipage. | 00:07 |
| spitfire_ | After that gnome-sharp transition | 00:07 |
| Chris` | xnox: I've used the one that jpds uses from his recommendation, surely it won't make it get rejected though? | 00:07 |
| Laney | Chris`: No, that's why I said it was optional | 00:07 |
| spitfire_ | Laney: Isn't it in gnome-desktop-sharp? | 00:08 |
| Laney | spitfire_: Yes, see that link | 00:08 |
| spitfire_ | ok | 00:09 |
| Laney | new API -> has to go through debian NEW | 00:09 |
| Laney | Apparently tomboy is just a b-d change after we get this | 00:09 |
| xnox | Chris`: it is a matter of preference now. I like the new format a lot! Some don't like it, the rest are waiting for it to (not) become official copyright format. | 00:13 |
| * Chris` will wait :) | 00:13 | |
| spitfire_ | Laney: so gnome-desktop-sharp2 will probably be gnome-desktop-sharp2.24 ? | 00:13 |
| xnox | The orig tarball I'm looking at has MANIFEST.in file can someone explain/point what it is? My google-fu failed =( | 00:15 |
| spitfire_ | Laney: but where do i get this source package? | 00:23 |
| spitfire_ | I havent found it on packages debian, nor incoming.debian. | 00:24 |
| spitfire_ | oh | 00:26 |
| spitfire_ | I'll have to wait till they in the pool:/ | 00:26 |
| spitfire_ | Laney: or is there another place I can get 'em? | 00:27 |
| ScottK | If it's in Debian New, then it's not available. | 00:29 |
| ScottK | If the maintainers use a public VCS, you should be able to fish the packaging out of there. | 00:29 |
| spitfire_ | ScottK good idea, thanks;) | 00:32 |
| spitfire_ | scottK thanks, I've found it;) | 00:33 |
| ScottK | spitfire_: Great. | 00:34 |
| Majost | I am having a problem with a python modules package which I am not sure how to solve. | 01:07 |
| Majost | Basically, the update-python-modules makes the link for the __init__.py | 01:07 |
| Majost | and then right before it finishes it does 'remove namespace' on it __init__.py -- which seems to be unlinking it | 01:08 |
| Majost | So my question is, how do I tell update-python-modules to stop unlinking the __init__? | 01:09 |
| Majost | I should also add that I cannot import my module because of this issue... which, looking at what the namespace stuff is supposed to do, seems as if it shouldn't be a problem | 01:13 |
| ScottK | At a guess, you have a different problem than you think you have. | 01:26 |
| spitfire_ | ScottK | 01:28 |
| spitfire_ | ;thanks;) | 01:28 |
| spitfire_ | again;P | 01:28 |
| ScottK | spitfire_: No problem. | 01:28 |
| spitfire_ | ScottK: I've resolved gnome-sharp2 transition problem for tomboy;) | 01:29 |
| ScottK | Congratulations. | 01:29 |
| ScottK | spitfire_: But do know I'm a KDE user, so I'm not personally very affected ... | 01:30 |
| spitfire_ | ScottK: lol | 01:30 |
| spitfire_ | This is kind of big stuff, because quite much mono programs don't run;) | 01:31 |

| hyperair | maxb: thanks | 01:44 |
| hyperair | maxb: i fixed all the issues you mentioned, except the DEBIAN_DIR and UPSTREAM_VERSION, because they don't work properly when called with CURDIR != DEBIAN_DIR/.. | 01:45 |
| maxb | can CURDIR != the package build dir? | 01:49 |
| maxb | (In any sane build env?) | 01:50 |
| hyperair | maxb: can, in the case of get-orig-source | 01:54 |
| hyperair | maxb: but only that rule | 01:54 |
| hyperair | maxb: so if get-orig-source isn't defined, there's no need to use that workaround | 01:54 |

| ScottK | mok0: ^^^ Seems up your alley. | 14:56 |
| * mok0 looks | 14:59 | |
| iefremov | ScottK: thanks, already asked mok0 :) | 14:59 |
| mok0 | iefremov: I'll take a look | 15:00 |
| mok0 | iefremov: you are also upstream I see | 15:02 |
| mok0 | iefremov: is this your first time you have packaged something? | 15:05 |
| mok0 | iefremov: I can see that ;-) | 15:08 |
| ia | hello. could you clarify, please, some moment about packaging sponsorship. if i make deb packages with latest upstream version (which doesn't exist in debian/ubuntu, but older version of app does) without any changes(initial release of new upstream only) and would like, that someone, who have access to universe/multiverse section, check it and, if everything is correct, will upload it in repo, then what should i do? as i understand, i should mail to ubuntu-u | 15:09 |
| ia | niverse-sponsors@lists.ubuntu.com with request and with information about packages, right? or what? | 15:09 |
| mok0 | ia, we have a reviewing site called REVU | 15:09 |
| ScottK | mok0: Not for upgrades | 15:10 |
| mok0 | ah I missed that part | 15:10 |
| ScottK | ia: File a bug and tag it upgrade. Make your updated package and then attach the .diff.gz for the update to the bug. | 15:10 |
| ScottK | ia: The subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors to the bug (not asssign and don't send mail). | 15:10 |
| tseliot | doko_: I have a question for you: if I wanted to create a package which only has a python script (to install in /usr/bin), would it still be ok if python-central created the .egg file? | 15:17 |
| tseliot | doko_: I mean, only one script and no library | 15:18 |
| hyperair | could someone review my package sigx please? http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=sigx | 15:19 |
| ia | ScottK: ou, let's check, have i got it - 1. create "bug" in "ubuntu" project with [need-packaging] substring in name of bug 2. include in bug description original web site, where places official tarball with information about app; send this bug 3. in next comment for just created bug apply .diff.gz 4. PROFIT ;-) right? | 15:19 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 3 in rosetta "Custom information for each translation team" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/3 | 15:19 |
| ScottK | ia: Yes, except tag for a new version of an existing package is upgrade, not needs-packaging. | 15:21 |
| POX | tseliot: python-central doesn't create .egg-info, Python>=2.5 does (and it doesn't make sense to install egg metadata for single Python script) | 15:21 |
| ScottK | Then don't forget to subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors. | 15:21 |
| tseliot | POX: I need a build-dependency on python because I use distutils | 15:24 |
| POX | and it creates .egg-info for single script? | 15:24 |
| === smarter_ is now known as smarter | ||
| tseliot | POX: yes, it does. Here's the source I uploaded to REVU: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=4581 | 15:25 |
| ia | ScottK: >tag for a new version of an existing package is upgrade // so, where i should point tag "upgrade"? | 15:29 |
| ScottK | There's a section in the bug for tags. Just type upgrade in there. | 15:30 |
| POX | tseliot: just remove the .egg-info directory | 15:34 |
| tseliot | POX: ok, so a small hack in debian/rules would be enough. Thanks | 15:35 |
| dholbach | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek Day 3 to kick off in #ubuntu-classroom in 23 minutes! :-) | 15:37 |
| ia | ScottK: and some questions about debian/. 1. i should point in XSBC-Original-Maintainer field my name and email and in Maintainer something like ubuntu universe team, right? 2. should i create a new one changelog file with only one record, or keep changelog from previous version of package and just update it by new one record? 3. >don't forget to subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors. // it's so as to i could follow for maintainers' discussion about progress of | 15:38 |
| ia | my request, right? | 15:38 |
| dholbach | ia: use update-maintainer of the ubuntu-dev-tools package - it will make your life easier (regarding original maintainer) | 15:38 |
| ScottK | ia: If it's an existing package, then the originial maintainer should be what's in the maintainer field before. | 15:39 |
| ScottK | As dholbach says ... | 15:39 |
| ScottK | Add a new entry to the existing debian/changelog | 15:39 |
| dholbach | was there any discussion ever why we not just automate it somewhere instead of dpkg-buildpackage failing? | 15:39 |
| ScottK | ia: It's so they know you have a request. | 15:39 |
| quadrispro | sistpoty|work: ping | 15:39 |
| quadrispro | :) | 15:39 |
| sistpoty|work | quadrispro: pong | 15:39 |
| ScottK | dholbach: It doesn't fail, it just complains. | 15:40 |
| ScottK | Which I think is desirable. | 15:40 |
| ScottK | As an example, if I'm the Debian maintainer for a package and I need to upload an Ubuntu revision for some reason, I don't change the maintainer. | 15:41 |
| dholbach | pkg-source: Fehler: Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but Maintainer: does not have Ubuntu address | 15:41 |
| dholbach | dpkg-buildpackage: Fehlschlag: dpkg-source -b hello-2.2 gab Fehler-Exitstatus 255 | 15:41 |
| dholbach | debuild: fatal error at line 1329: | 15:41 |
| dholbach | dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -us -uc -S failed | 15:41 |
| dholbach | is what I get | 15:41 |
| james_w | it fails if you have "ubuntu" in your DEBEMAIL | 15:41 |
| dholbach | ahhh | 15:42 |
| dholbach | ScottK: I take that point though - would be nice to have it configurable, so that if I'm just an Ubuntu developer it would do the right thing for me instead of falling over :) | 15:43 |
| dholbach | anyway... enough complaining - I know I could just write a patch :) | 15:43 |
| ia | ScottK: and package name should have "-ZubuntuW" suffix, where Z=0 (because the same upstream version of app doesn't exist at present time in debian), and W=1 (beacause it's first initial release of this upstream version in ubuntu without any changes), right? | 15:47 |
| ScottK | Yes. | 15:47 |
| ia | ScottK: thank you very much for answers. it's all questions. at least for now :-) and, please, excuse me, if some questions were dummy or obvious O:-) | 15:50 |

| * hyperair wonders if any MOTU is free to revu | 16:04 | |
| mbeatty | what's the appropriate course of action when creating a package for source available only in a bz2? | 16:30 |
| mbeatty | bzcat source.tar.bz2 | gzip -9 > source.orig.tar.gz ? | 16:30 |
| Laney | mbeatty: uscan --repack | 16:31 |
| geser | yes, until tar.bz2 are allowed (iirc there is some work in progress) | 16:31 |
| Laney | or gzip -9n (iirc) | 16:31 |
| persia | -9nf | 16:32 |
| persia | You need to force the compression to ensure that you don't get different results on different architectures. | 16:33 |
| persia | Also, please document it by writing a get-orig-source rule in debian/rules, and leave a comment in README.source | 16:33 |
| jmehdi | Could someone review my package: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=webstrict, I've added a debian/watch file as required | 17:00 |
| mbeatty | alright, another question: making a new package of upstream naim, version 0.11.8.3.1 .. latest ubuntu and debian packages are all 0.11.8-1 .. should new ubuntu version be 0.11.8.3.1-0ubuntu1 ? | 17:01 |
| mbeatty | or -1, or -1ubuntu1? | 17:02 |
| mok0 | -0ubuntu1 | 17:03 |
| liw | -0ubuntu1 | 17:03 |
| mok0 | liw: beat you to it :-) | 17:03 |
| mbeatty | :> | 17:03 |
| liw | so that when Debian packages it, and calls their version -1, merging and syncing works correctly | 17:03 |
| === bluesmoke is now known as Amaranth | ||
| bddebian | Hmm, naim looks like one that could possibly be orphaned and a QA upload done with the new upstream | 17:13 |
| bddebian | mbeatty: Unless you want to maintain it in Debian! :) | 17:14 |
| mbeatty | yes, I was wondering whether better to push to debian | 17:14 |
| bddebian | mbeatty: Have you tried contacting the maintainer by any chance? He doesn't seem to be a DD and naim seems to be the only package he "maintains" | 17:16 |
| bddebian | And no upload since 2005 :( | 17:17 |

| Gaming4JC | the rules file has this content: # Add here commands to clean up after the build process. $(MAKE) clean dh_clean | 19:35 |
| Gaming4JC | yes | 19:35 |
| bddebian | Exactly as I have typed it? | 19:35 |
| Gaming4JC | no | 19:36 |
| Gaming4JC | but it has the last part | 19:36 |

| === azeem_ is now known as azeem | ||
| bddebian | If it uses Makefiles but it's not there, add the [ ! -f Makefile ] || part in front of $(MAKE) clean | 19:36 |

| Gaming4JC | I'm trying to compile ngPlant just incase anyone is wondering | 19:41 |
| _16aR_ | what is that ? some sort of neopunk canabis ? | 19:42 |
| bddebian | heh | 19:42 |
| Gaming4JC | :P | 19:42 |
| Gaming4JC | no it's a 3D plant modeler | 19:42 |
| bddebian | Is this new packaging or did you get a source package from somewhere? | 19:42 |
| _16aR_ | oh yeah ? | 19:42 |
| _16aR_ | I look into it then :) | 19:42 |
| Gaming4JC | I got the source from the site | 19:42 |
| jmarsden|work | Gaming4JC: Where did you get the debian/* stuff (including debian/rules) from? | 19:42 |
| Gaming4JC | from scratch as far as I can tell, lol. I am following this tut: http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:mGP0ZVp9nOEJ:ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D51003+Ubuntu+how+to+make+deb&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a | 19:43 |
| jmarsden|work | Gaming4JC: And you have read and understood the Packaging Guide? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete | 19:44 |
| Gaming4JC | hmm no I havent. I only read this tutorial and parts of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Rules | 19:44 |
| Gaming4JC | I do know how to "make" a generic linux binary though | 19:45 |
| Gaming4JC | ;) | 19:45 |
| jmarsden|work | I suggest reading all the Packaging Guide and then coming back to your packaging project. | 19:45 |
| _16aR_ | thanks Gaming4JC for ngPlant, seems an interesting project :) | 19:45 |
| Gaming4JC | Yes, it's quite interesting. I was surprised no one had a deb for it alreadly. It's well known in the #blender community. | 19:46 |
| _16aR_ | by the way, cdbs manage scons now ? | 19:47 |
| Gaming4JC | are there any good books for learning bash? It sure isn't like compiling in C++ | 19:49 |
| Gaming4JC | lol | 19:49 |
| Gaming4JC | I also found it funny that gnome-terminal is different from Gentoo and KDE terminals | 19:49 |
| _16aR_ | I think Gentoo use gnome-terminal too, in its own gnome version :p | 19:50 |
| _16aR_ | What differences do you see ? | 19:50 |
| jmarsden|work | Gaming4JC: for bash try http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ for Make try http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html | 19:50 |
| Gaming4JC | _16aR_: emerge, no apt-get, etc. | 19:51 |
| Gaming4JC | jmarsedn|work: thanks for info | 19:52 |
| jmarsden|work | np | 19:52 |
| _16aR_ | Gaming4JC: ah ok ! Thats the distrib differences, not a differences between gnome-terminal, gentoo terminal and kde terms ^^ | 19:54 |
| _16aR_ | Yes off course distrib can have their own package management | 19:54 |
| Gaming4JC | ah :) | 19:54 |
| _16aR_ | That's the biggest part of their differences though | 19:54 |
| Gaming4JC | there's no apt-get moo! What kind of a system is Gentoo with out apt-get moo.... lol jk. | 19:55 |
| _16aR_ | sourcemage with grimoire | 19:55 |
| _16aR_ | yeah, i think the moo is most important command a debian sys admin must know | 19:55 |
| === sdh_ is now known as sdh | ||
| Gaming4JC | I've not read the entire PackagineGuide yet, but the rules doesn't mention the area I'm having troubles with. | 19:56 |
| _16aR_ | to create a package of an app that is using scons instead of make, you should look at those *.mk files I think : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=470532 | 19:56 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 470532 in cdbs "cdbs: please add scons rules file" [Wishlist,Open] | 19:56 |
| Gaming4JC | "build-stamp: configure-stamp " | 19:56 |
| _16aR_ | but like jmarsden|work, I suggest you read all the packagingguide before everythinhg | 19:57 |
| _16aR_ | cdbs can help you a lot to create a package if it has the .mk files to facilitate the builder integration | 19:57 |
| _16aR_ | and if you use cdbs | 19:57 |
| _16aR_ | just look at : https://perso.duckcorp.org/duck/cdbs-doc/cdbs-doc.xhtml | 19:58 |
| Gaming4JC | ok | 19:58 |
| Gaming4JC | if it matters though, ngplant suggest compiling with scons | 19:58 |
| _16aR_ | suggest ? or oblige ? :p | 19:58 |
| Gaming4JC | :P | 19:59 |
| _16aR_ | seriously, is there any makefile ? | 19:59 |
| jmarsden|work | An app that uses scons is probably not really a good choice as a first ever app to package... might be better to start with fixing bugs in existing packages, get used to the whole packaging approach in Ubuntu, and *then* look at creating a new package for something? | 19:59 |
| _16aR_ | jmarsden|work: the first app I packaged was build on a scons system | 20:00 |
| Gaming4JC | perhaps, but so far every package I look at is scons. | 20:00 |
| Gaming4JC | RVHouse, ngplant, etc. etc. | 20:00 |
| _16aR_ | and to facilitate the thing, it was a lib ... | 20:00 |
| Gaming4JC | scons is like the leader in program development or something, lol. | 20:00 |
| jmarsden|work | _16aR_: I think that means you are the exception that proves the rule ;) For most packagers IMO it pays to start simple and try more complex things later... | 20:01 |
| _16aR_ | I didn't fixed bugs, but I read every packaging guide, libpkg-guide, cdbs etc to make it build. And it did well ... But it was dependant on another package I packaged, but which wasn't accepted because of license issue (no GPL headers in every source file, and no news from upstream) | 20:01 |
| _16aR_ | no no Gaming4JC, scons is quite rare from what I see | 20:02 |
| Gaming4JC | _16aR_: Hmm, I guess I'm just lucky enough to find the rare ones, lol... | 20:03 |
| Gaming4JC | so bad for me :P | 20:03 |
| _16aR_ | jmarsden|work: yes, but maybe Gaming4JC wants to have ngPlant in his ubuntu before having crrected another bug :p | 20:03 |
| Gaming4JC | ;D | 20:03 |
| * Gaming4JC keeps reading over packaging guide... | 20:04 | |
| _16aR_ | that's not a big deal Gaming4JC, but since there is no "official" cdbs mk rule for scons, you have to work a little harder to create your deb package | 20:04 |
| Gaming4JC | hmm | 20:04 |
| Gaming4JC | so how would get a makerule from scons | 20:04 |
| * Gaming4JC googles... | 20:04 | |
| jmarsden|work | _16aR_: If Gaming4JC is capable of learning packaging that way, fine... if not, the slower approach is more likely to succeed. | 20:04 |
| _16aR_ | jmarsden|work: I bow down, maybe i was lucky to learn it that way | 20:05 |
| _16aR_ | Gaming4JC: do you succeed in having ngPlant compiled on your ubuntu by the way ? | 20:06 |
| Gaming4JC | come to think of it | 20:07 |
| Gaming4JC | I haven't tried getting a binary for this particular file | 20:08 |
| * Gaming4JC goes to compile old fashion way... | 20:08 | |
| Gaming4JC | heh, I should have tried that first. This source may be buggy. | 20:09 |
| Gaming4JC | scons: *** [ngput/p3dimage.o] Error 1 | 20:09 |
| Gaming4JC | scons: building terminated because of errors. | 20:09 |
| _16aR_ | yes, actually, that the first thing to do : if it FTBFS, you're ko until you patch/correct it | 20:10 |

| akb4 | no answer from an hour ago... I have a package in debian sid that I'd like to get into the next ubuntu release. How can this be made to occur? | 21:36 |
| maxb | akb4: It's new in sid, I assume? If it had been in before Christmas it would have automatically synced | 21:38 |
| akb4 | yep, we had a few minor issues getting into sid main, just hit last week. | 21:38 |
| akb4 | (hit the repos, that is) | 21:39 |
| maxb | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess describes (rather tersely, admittedly) the procedure for requesting an explicit sync | 21:39 |
| maxb | though it rather fails to comment on syncs of entirely new packages :-/ | 21:40 |
| akb4 | in that case, should I still follow those directions? | 21:40 |
| maxb | I suggest so, yes | 21:42 |
| maxb | oh, the command line tool mentioned in the wiki page has an option specifically for new packages :-) | 21:43 |
| akb4 | ok, thank you. | 21:43 |
| maxb | so I suggest running it and seeing what it tells you to do | 21:43 |
| maxb | :-) | 21:43 |
| akb4 | hmm. since I don't have an ubuntu system to hand, I'll try the bug-filing method. script also has no apparent option to specify the requester's email address; in my case, trying to automatically derive it would be non-optimal. | 21:48 |
| akb4 | directions for sync request say to subscribe either ubuntu-main-sponsors or ubuntu-universe-sponsors. which should I choose? the package is a game. | 22:01 |
| directhex | the package is rather unlikely to be in main | 22:04 |
| EagleScreen | i think universe | 22:04 |
| raof | akb4: If it's a new package, it'll be in Universe. | 22:04 |
| akb4 | thx | 22:04 |
| quadrispro | maxb: thank you! I'll work on it ;) | 22:26 |
| laprice | I'm trying to script a build to track a standard package with patches. | 23:38 |
| laprice | I have the patches set in debian/patches/ | 23:39 |
| laprice | my question is, if I use debuild -S | 23:40 |
| laprice | will the diff file generated include the patches? | 23:40 |
| laprice | It's a cdbs package (postgresql) do I need to patch the rules file as well as the control file? | 23:42 |
| raof | All these questions (apart from the debuild one) rely on a knowledge of what you want to achieve. | 23:43 |
| raof | debuild -S will include the patches. | 23:43 |
| laprice | ok, can I use the diff.gz file to handle changing the name/version of the package so that it will be marked as conflicting w/ the parent package? | 23:44 |
| directhex | you don;t ever touch diff.gz by hand. it's a file generated by debuild | 23:45 |
| laprice | ah. | 23:45 |
| laprice | i have been doing it wrong. :/ | 23:46 |
| directhex | i've heard much worse | 23:46 |
| laprice | so I should be editing the control file and running debuild -S | 23:46 |
| directhex | yes, precisely that | 23:46 |
| laprice | and the packages signing? can I do anything about that? | 23:47 |
| directhex | make sure you're the last guy mentioned in the changelog, and make sure you have a matching gpg key in your keyring | 23:48 |
| laprice | edit changelog dch -i | 23:49 |
| laprice | and the key has to match my email address in the package | 23:49 |
| laprice | I saw something about DEBEMAIL environment var, should I be using that? | 23:50 |
| jmarsden|work | laprice: Yes. export DEBEMAIL=you@example.com and also export DEBFULLNAME=Your Name | 23:51 |
| jmarsden|work | Then dch -i puts that info into the changelog | 23:51 |
| laprice | OK Thank you. | 23:52 |
| jmarsden|work | No problem. | 23:52 |
