| Laney | motu-release folks: How do you determine whether a library has new features? | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Laney | http://gitorious.org/projects/git-python/repos/mainline/blobs/master/CHANGES <- we currently have 0.14.1 | 00:03 |
| ScottK | Laney: It's got features. | 00:05 |
| Laney | ScottK: That's what I thought | 00:05 |
| Laney | thanks | 00:05 |
| ScottK | Does it have rdepends? | 00:05 |
| Laney | dunno, just looking at the u-u-s queue | 00:06 |
| Laney | no | 00:06 |

| fabrice_sp | Hi. bug Bug #277926 still happens in Jaunty, and is fixed in debian Unstable's version. Is it better to apply the fix to actual jaunty's version or request a sync for synfigstudio? (as we are in Beta Freeze) | 03:58 |

| fabrice_sp | dtchen, ok. That's what I thought. This way, I can fill a SRU for intrepid after. By the way, this package FTBFS (Bug #336583). Should I update the debdiff in that bug report to add this patch? | 04:04 |

| DanMcGoo | hi | 07:22 |
| RAOF | Someone's quite likely to want to help you here :) | 07:23 |
| RAOF | You need some packaging help? What with, and have you already read the packaging guide? | 07:26 |
| DanMcGoo | Actually I am trying to build my first debian package | 07:26 |
| DanMcGoo | I am quite advanced and I almost finished it | 07:27 |
| DanMcGoo | but I have one problem | 07:27 |
| DanMcGoo | /usr/bin/install -c -D -m 755 .libs/libOpenDRIMCommon.so /home/guillaume/DEB/test/libopendrim-common-1.0.3/debian/tmp/usr/lib/ | 07:27 |
| DanMcGoo | this line make one error because the usr/lib directory does not exist under debian/tmp | 07:28 |
| RAOF | Have you written that? What is trying to execute that? | 07:29 |
| DanMcGoo | actually it is trying to execute it | 07:30 |
| ttx | DanMcGoo: it's your "make install" that executes that ? | 07:32 |
| DanMcGoo | yes | 07:32 |
| DanMcGoo | actually the install section have been entierly rewritten by my predecessor | 07:32 |
| ttx | DanMcGoo: then it means make install doesn't create directories on targetdir if they are missing | 07:32 |
| RAOF | So, you'll need to fix the makefile. | 07:32 |
| DanMcGoo | yes correct | 07:32 |
| ttx | you can workaround that by adding usr/lib in a "debian/dirs" file | 07:33 |
| DanMcGoo | so i should do an "install -d DIRECTORY" right ? | 07:33 |
| DanMcGoo | really ? | 07:33 |
| DanMcGoo | it will create it automatically ? | 07:33 |
| ttx | well, it depends on what your rules file looks like | 07:33 |
| ttx | if its CDBS it will | 07:33 |
| DanMcGoo | autogenerated by dh_make | 07:34 |
| ttx | if its debhelper then you'll need dh_installdirs in there (should be there) | 07:34 |
| DanMcGoo | it's there | 07:34 |
| ttx | so the dirs trick should do it. Though you should rather fix your makefile, since you control both sides :) | 07:35 |
| ttx | DanMcGoo: otherwise it will fail on anyone deploying in something else than / | 07:35 |
| DanMcGoo | but I read this from the Ubuntu Packaging guide: "You only need to use dh_installdirs if your package needs to ship empty nonstandard directories" | 07:36 |
| ttx | yes, that's why it's a workaround. Proper fix is to patch the makefile | 07:36 |
| DanMcGoo | ok I c | 07:37 |
| DanMcGoo | thanks for the help ^^ | 07:37 |
| ttx | np | 07:37 |
| DanMcGoo | so actually I have another question | 07:39 |
| DanMcGoo | I added install -d /usr/lib | 07:39 |
| DanMcGoo | what will happen if I do a ./configure --prefix=/usr ? | 07:39 |
| DanMcGoo | it will create a /usr/usr/lib directory ? | 07:39 |
| ttx | DanMcGoo: it obviously depends on what your configure/makefile make of it... but I thnink the make install DESTDIR will be overridden correctly | 07:45 |

| mdeslaur | a|wen: yes | 13:16 |
| a|wen | mdeslaur: also about the patch tagging; when they are applied inline, should the ubuntu-applied-patches be inside or outside the debian dir? | 13:17 |
| mdeslaur | a|wen: when they are applied inline, just include the urls and bugs in the changelog as you've been doing | 13:18 |
| mdeslaur | a|wen: I've never done the "ubuntu-applied-patches" directory | 13:19 |
| mdeslaur | of course, if there is one already, than put your patches in it | 13:19 |
| a|wen | mdeslaur: so generally making a specific link to the patch if that is possible ... i'm working on the fix for the last two squirrelmail CVE's as you mentioned | 13:21 |
| mdeslaur | a|wen: yeah...if we discover a bug in a patch, it'll be easier to figure out where we got it from. It's also easier to review if there's a link. | 13:22 |
| mdeslaur | a|wen: cool! | 13:22 |
| a|wen | mdeslaur: makes sense ... this time around it is upstream svn revisions, so they should be easy to locate | 13:23 |
| a|wen | ScottK: i've found the wiki page about it ... but it doesn't mention anything about statuses | 13:26 |
| mdeslaur | a|wen: did you see my comment about the odd line in the hardy mediawiki debdiff? | 13:26 |
| ScottK | a|wen: I think they have to be In Progress to show up on their filter, but mdeslaur would know better. | 13:26 |
| mdeslaur | yes, our script pulls bugs that have "In Progress" and a patch attached | 13:27 |
| mdeslaur | you also need to check "This attachment is a patch" when you attach a debdiff | 13:27 |
| ScottK | a|wen: If you've got a wiki page that doesn't say that, please edit. | 13:27 |
| a|wen | mdeslaur: ahh, thanks! that was the info i needed | 13:27 |
| mdeslaur | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityUpdateProcedures | 13:27 |
| mdeslaur | step 7 of "Preparing an update" | 13:28 |
| a|wen | got it... some other places were referencing the standard sponsorship procedures, and that is somewhat different | 13:29 |
| a|wen | mdeslaur: just looked at your comment to the patch... it should be good enough | 13:31 |
| mdeslaur | a|wen: ok, I'll push it out as-is then | 13:31 |
| mdeslaur | thanks for looking :) | 13:32 |
| a|wen | mdeslaur: i need to add to the end of the file, but as it doesn't have a newline the diff needs to contain a removal of the last line and a re-insert | 13:32 |
| a|wen | agreed, it does make things look kind of strange :) | 13:32 |
| mdeslaur | oh! that line is diff-generated? | 13:33 |

| Turl | any motu in here? | 18:07 |
| slytherin | Turl: quite a few | 18:09 |
| sistpoty|work | slytherin: but the missing link seems to be the GPL, as (from a quick glimpse) only the GPL is missing in the tarball | 18:10 |

| slytherin | no, wait. I misread. even java5 is affected. | 19:35 |
| directhex | yeah | 19:35 |
| directhex | slytherin, i should re-file against sun-java5 | 19:36 |
| directhex | there | 19:36 |
| slytherin | directhex: yup, a separate bug is better. | 19:36 |
| directhex | oh, is it? bugger :( | 19:38 |
| directhex | i made the bug multi-package | 19:38 |
| slytherin | directhex: I was talking from tracking point of view. And also java5 is affected by only one issue. java6 is affected by both. | 19:39 |
| directhex | bah, i suck | 19:40 |
| slytherin | can anyone please confirm bug 349146? | 20:04 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 349146 in human-icon-theme "Logout icon looks like shutdown" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/349146 | 20:04 |
| hggdh | slytherin, I am sending an email to the mobile team asking about using their PPA | 20:07 |
| slytherin | hggdh: you will have to be team member | 20:08 |
| hggdh | slytherin, yes, I understand that. I hope, at least, you are... but I am asking anyway. At least I tried ;-) | 20:08 |
| hggdh | I personally doubt I would be accepted, since I have no track record on mobile thingies | 20:09 |
| slytherin | hggdh: i am not a team member | 20:10 |
| slytherin | hggdh: you can try asking in #ubuntu-mobile | 20:12 |
| hggdh | slytherin, heh. This may make it a bit more difficult | 20:12 |
| hggdh | and yes, good idea. Getting there now | 20:12 |
| c_korn | slytherin: the icon for logout is different than the one for shutdown | 20:15 |
| slytherin | c_korn: are you using human icon theme? | 20:15 |
| c_korn | slytherin: yes, but I use an updated fusa | 20:16 |
| c_korn | slytherin: https://launchpad.net/~getdeb.packages/+archive/ppa | 20:16 |
| c_korn | this one is proposed for jaunty | 20:17 |
| slytherin | c_korn: it is not just fusa, if you remove it from panel, the logout option in the system menu also has icon that looks like shutdown. | 20:17 |
| c_korn | slytherin: http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/11599/screenshot_001_pyR6I0.png | 20:18 |
| c_korn | shutdown has a different icon | 20:18 |
| c_korn | but it is still confusing, you are right | 20:18 |
| slytherin | that is why I said the icon is 'similar' to shutdown icon. :-) | 20:19 |
| c_korn | slytherin: is this a human-icon-theme bug or fusa bug? | 20:19 |
| slytherin | c_korn: human-icon-theme. because the icon itself is wrong in the theme. so if a user is not using fusa, he will have problem even in system menu. | 20:20 |
| c_korn | ok | 20:20 |
| c_korn | slytherin: confirmed | 20:22 |
| slytherin | c_korn: thanks | 20:22 |

| datag | in a few days i'm releasing a Qt4 based game. altough i'm trying to provide a linux-generic package (including libs) i would like to provide an ubuntu package as well. i'm uncertain if i should build a package on my own or if a package maintainer could have a look at it. some advice? | 20:51 |
| directhex | datag, you'd need to get enough interest out of a packager if you expect them to do the work for you | 20:54 |
| datag | directhex: i guessed that :) which is the right way to do this? ask here in irc or should i create kinda ticket (tracker) for package-request? | 20:55 |
| slytherin | datag: at this point a new package will not enter ubuntu. So it will be hard to convince people here to work on the package. You can try building the package on your own and add it to your PPA if you have launchpad account. | 20:58 |
| slytherin | datag: what would be even better is package it for Debian and get someone sponsor it. Ubuntu syncs all the packages in Debian at the start of new development cycle. | 20:59 |
| === tjaalton_ is now known as tjaalton | ||
| datag | slytherin: ah, thank you for that advice. i think i'll first try to build a deb package on my own and provide it to a debian maintainer | 21:00 |
| datag | another thing, might be a bit offtopic: building generic binary packages is a hell. i've tried to use ubuntu as a base copying shared libs into my archive. i guess this isn't a good idea? ;) (a better method might be to build stripped dependencies (libs) on my own and provide these) | 21:03 |
| slytherin | datag: what do you mean by generic binary package? | 21:08 |
| datag | slytherin: a package which does not depend on a specific distribution by providing most needed shared libs (sdl, qt4) and running the app with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=my_libs | 21:09 |
| slytherin | datag: then why not provide a statically compiled binary? | 21:10 |
| datag | slytherin: yep, that's another way i'm currently thinking of... maybe this would be the best solution. | 21:11 |
| datag | slytherin: thank you so far. hope i get my Cmake-hell working with static linking qt4 and sdl.. oh, he is gone | 21:17 |
| directhex | be very careful about licensing when using static compilation tho | 21:27 |
| datag | directhex: my app is open source (GPLv3) and libSDL and Qt4 do not have any restrictions for this case AFAIK | 21:28 |
| datag | i hope so | 21:28 |
| maco | qt4 which version? | 21:28 |
| datag | 4.5 | 21:28 |
| datag | was there a change in policy recently? | 21:29 |
| maco | 4.5 is LGPL | 21:29 |
| maco | up to 4.4 was GPL or commercial only | 21:29 |
| datag | maco: anyhow, if i provide the sources it doesn't really matter, doesn't it? | 21:30 |
| maco | dont think so | 21:30 |
| maco | no idea on libsdl's licensing | 21:30 |
| directhex | if sdl is 2-only, you have an issue | 21:30 |
| maco | exactly | 21:30 |
| datag | oh dear | 21:31 |
| directhex | 2-only is not compatible with 3+ | 21:31 |
| directhex | 2+ is | 21:31 |
| datag | SDL is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2 | 21:32 |
| datag | so my option of statically linking is gone :/ | 21:33 |
| directhex | LGPL2 or 2.1? | 21:34 |
| directhex | and 2 or 2+? | 21:34 |
| directhex | "The Simple DirectMedia Layer library is currently available under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 or newer. " | 21:35 |
| directhex | that's okay then | 21:35 |
| datag | directhex: god bless :) thanks | 21:36 |
| directhex | you have the option when using l2.1+ to license the whole thing as 2+ | 21:36 |
| directhex | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#GPL_Compatibility_Matrix is a reasonable matrix | 21:37 |
| datag | good resource | 21:38 |

| ripps | Can someone lead me to some resources on how to make virtual packages. | 22:31 |
| dtchen | meaning equivs or real virtuals? | 22:33 |
| ripps | dtchen: Not sure, I'm trying to create a package that will pull in a bunch of plugins automatically. | 22:34 |
| azeem | ripps: that's not virtual | 22:35 |
| azeem | that's meta | 22:35 |
| cjwatson | ripps: your problem may be that you're searching for a term that means something else in our world. The term we use for what you want is "metapackages" | 22:35 |
| ripps | azeem, cjwatson: thanks, that might be my problem | 22:35 |
| azeem | ripps: usually, you would just add that binary package to debian/control of the source package building all thos plugins | 22:36 |
| ripps | azeem: I have a package that builds ~20 seperate packages. I like it like this, but I also want a metapackage to pull them all in simultaneously | 22:37 |
| azeem | see my above line then | 22:38 |
| ripps | azeem: Do I have to manually add all the binary packages to it's Depends line, or can I just leave it blank? | 22:44 |
| azeem | ripps: if you want a package which depends on those plugins (i.e. a meta-package), you will have to add those plugins, yes | 22:54 |
| azeem | ...to the Depends | 22:54 |
