gesera|wen: Hi, as you were involved with the arts removal could you look at http://builder.ubuntuwire.com:9998/job/45324 ? there are several packages FTBFS in the rebuild test due to this. Is adding --without-arts the right fix without breaking the package?14:17

sebnergeser: basic education done, starting with office job on monday :P14:27
gesernice, do you know what kind of office job you get?14:28
sebnergeser: what kind?14:30
gesersebner: what will you do next week exactly?14:37
geserI got in a totally different unit after my basic training.14:38
a|wengeser: --without-arts should work in 95% of the cases; so trying that first should be the way to go14:41
a|wengeser: i can take a look at kxstitch now14:41
sebnergeser: well, we got splited into 3 groups ( funker, antennenaufbauer, kabelträger). Ich wäre normal funker geworden (ist das beste, mit laptops arbeiten ..) aber da ich kanzleigehilfe bin, bin ich jetzt kabelträger (da fällts nicht auf wenn einer fehlt). es gibt ja bei uns offiziell keine schreiber weil wir reine "funker" sind. einer wird halt abgezogen und ist offiziell immer noch in einer der 3 gruppen und inoffiziell kanzleigehilfe14:42
gesera|wen: looks like the remaining KDE 3.5.x packages are affected from a first glance (like kde-i18n-*; see http://builder.ubuntuwire.com:9998/dist/jaunty/arch/i386/failed)14:43
a|wengeser: yeah ... all the kde-i18n packages failed, we are in the middle of fixing right now14:43
gesersebner: nett :)14:44
gesera|wen: so I can ignore them as you (kubuntu-devs) take care of them?14:44
a|wengeser: you can ignore all the kde-i18n-* packages ... but you are more than welcome to fix some of the other k* packages14:45
a|wengeser: after we get the kde-i18n-* up i'll try to look through the list as well14:45
gesera|wen: will do as I fight myself through the rebuild results14:46

mcnichollsso once i have a debdiff that i attach to the report, i read i just add the sponorship group and someone should upload it? anything else i need to do?16:30

slytherinmcnicholls: yes, that is how sponsorship works16:30
mcnichollsone question i do have now though, i know you can run a script to submit patches and bug reports to debian. should i do this or would you normally wait for upstream to come down?16:30
slytherinmcnicholls: Once the patch is accepted in Ubuntu, you can forward it to Debian if you want.16:31
mcnichollssuppose it is up to them deb maintainer to decide if it is worth having16:32
mcnichollsi was just wondering if i should run the submittodebian script once i have my patch. I suppose i would wait till ubuntu accept it like you say16:33
mcnichollsif i am generating a patched package from someone elses source patch, should i give them credit in the change log somehow?17:06
a|wenmcnicholls: allways a good idea to give credit to the original author17:07
mcnichollsa|wen: yeah i thought so. any particular recommended way of putting this in the changelog?17:08
a|wenmcnicholls: not really... you can just append an "Original patch by ...", "Patch taken from ..." or "Thanks to ..." at the end of the line about adding the patch17:10
mcnichollsok, will do. thanks17:10
a|wenmcnicholls: depends on if it is a person (then i prefer the last) or a project, like upstream / debian / $linuxdist (then i use one of the first two)17:10
a|wenbut everyone has there favourite method ...17:11

a|wenhow do you figure out what goes wrong with ld in such a case "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lMagick++"?17:33
gesera|wen: first check if libMagick++.so is available in /usr/lib (or /lib for some special libs)17:43
geserif it's due to missing build-depends17:44
geserif that's the case then the next step is: who is missing this build-dependency? is it direct (the app using the lib itself) or if it's dragged in through an other lib (.la files or .pc files)17:46
a|wengeser: okay; so that is how you get from the -l option to the filename ... hmm, it depends on libmagick++9-dev, provided by libmagick++-dev, which has the file17:50
a|wenahh, it actually complains about "Magick" ... libmagick++9-dev used to have /usr/bin/libMagick.so; it is now replaced/provided by libmagick++-dev which does neither have the file nor depend on a package with it17:57

mcnichollsgeser: cheers18:11
a|wengeser: thanks for pointing me in the right direction, it finally build :) ... for the record if you ever have a package FTBFS with a depends on libmagick++9-dev you might need to change it to graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat18:13
gesera|wen: that will only work for packages in universe. what about libmagick++-dev? doesn't it work with it?18:15
a|wengeser: not if it uses "Magick" features as well as "Magick++"18:15
a|wengeser: /usr/lib/libMagick.so is only in graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat in jaunty18:16

maixI've created a debdiff using this manual: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff . I had to use my gpg key for that. Why?21:41
directhexmaix, because debuild will sign a changes file by default, using the gpg key corresponding to the most recent entry in changelog21:43
maixdirecthex: but for the debdiff is it not needed?21:43
directhexdebdiff itself? no.21:43
maixk21:44

maixI've created a debdiff now, is there anything else I can do or is the rest done by the maintainers?21:44
directhexindeedy, hence "by default"21:44
maixyes that was mentioned in the guide21:45

directhexjust leave it be, IME21:51
maixok21:52
maixdirecthex: one more question: when fetching the source (apt-get source), it told me that this package is maintained using svn and told me the url of some svn repo at debian. is that important for this case?21:57
