RenatoKrausehyperair: if the .deb exists in developer page?07:28

hyperairno problem07:30
RenatoKrause* Initial release (Closes: #nnnn)  <nnnn is the bug number of your ITP>08:17

StevenKIntent To Package, a Debian-ism08:19
RenatoKrausedont understand yet08:21
StevenKIt is a bug filed in Debian's bug tracking system that you intend to package <software>, so the initial upload should close that bug.08:22
RenatoKrause;]. i understand now.08:24
RenatoKrause:D08:24
RenatoKrausethanks08:24
hyperairRenatoKrause: if you submit your package to debian, you need to file an itp. if you submit your package to ubuntu but not debian you need to file a needs-packaging bug08:25

dlynchis this the right place to ask about package naming? I'm going through the process of making my first package for my ppa11:10
RAOFYes.  It's late on a Sunday for some people, so there might not be much response though.11:12
dominiksdlynch: www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Package - Debian Policy is the best source :)11:17
dlynchmy question is actually very simple.... I'm packaging my own code, and I want to package a beta version 0.0.8 beta 111:18
dlynchshould I name it something like 0.0.8b1 or 0.0.7.5?11:19
dlynchI don't know what the best practice is11:19
Laney0.0.8~b1 or 0.0.7.5, as you wish11:19
hyperairwhat's the upstream version?11:19
toabctlhi all11:20
toabctlhow can i get a source-package (apt-get source package) from jaunty when i use intrepid?11:20
dlynchhyperair: it's the upstream version I'm talking about, sorry I didn't make that clear11:20
hyperairdlynch: ah you're the upstream author?11:20
dlynchhyperair: yes11:20
hyperairtoabctl: add the deb-src line for jaunty, then apt-get source bla11:20
dlynchand this is the first time I've had to think about packaging, so it's all new :)11:21
toabctlhyperair, is there no other was? maybe with dget?11:21
hyperairtoabctl: there is11:21
hyperairtoabctl: you head to packages.ubuntu.com, search for the dsc you want, and then dget it11:21
toabctlhyperair, ah. thanks11:22
hyperairtoabctl: =)11:22
hyperairtoabctl: if you're feeling lazy, just use pbuilder-jaunty login11:22

dominiksdlynch: np.. you should read Debian Policy first.. before trying to make your first package.. good luck :)11:24
toabctlhyperair, pull-lp-source notify-osd jaunty is the command to get the source from jaunty if you use intrepid11:24
toabctlhyperair, Laney thanks!11:25
hyperairtoabctl: yes, i was just showing you the first few lines to show you what it does11:25
hyperairi think it defaults to using the latest release11:25
hyperairi'm on intrepid11:25
dlynchdominiks: what do you mean? ;-) this packaging is plenty overwhelming enough: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Python11:26
dlynchand now you're giving me more work hehehe11:26
toabctlhyperair, for me, not. see: pull-lp-source python-django-registration11:26
toabctlUnable to find source package 'python-django-registration' in the Intrepid release.11:26
hyperairworks for me11:26
toabctlhyperair, maybe you have the jaunty-url in your sources.list11:27
gesertoabctl: try adding "jaunty" as an additional parameter11:27
dominiksdlynch: Debian Policy is boring i know.. but important :)11:27
toabctlgeser, yes. i already tried. it works fine. thanks11:28
dlynchdominiks: yes, I guess it's one of the keys to their success11:28
