| Mewcenary | Hey everyone.... | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| Mewcenary | I've got a package update trying to go through on Debian... but finding it hard to get a sponsor. Is anyone here one who would like to help out... ? | 00:18 |
| Mewcenary | I'd like to get it done on Debian, so it flows down to Ubuntu naturally... | 00:18 |
| directhex | Mewcenary, what kind of package? | 00:45 |
| Mewcenary | I'll link: | 00:47 |
| Mewcenary | http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=siege | 00:48 |
| directhex | what a big diff | 00:51 |
| directhex | oh, autocrap. that explains it | 00:51 |
| Mewcenary | Yes, sadly so. | 00:51 |
| Mewcenary | Upstream running automake1.6 | 00:51 |
| directhex | how handy | 00:52 |
| Mewcenary | Previous Debian release had a mixture of direct source code changes + use of quilt, which lintian did not like. | 00:52 |
| Mewcenary | So put everything into quilt, which feels a bit cleaner. | 00:52 |
| directhex | lintian has a point | 00:52 |
| Mewcenary | I have grown to love quilt. | 00:53 |
| directhex | IME, mentors can be a bit of a black hole - much easier to find a mentor for team-maintained packages | 00:53 |
| JontheEchidna | Quilt ftw | 00:54 |
| JontheEchidna | Once you get used to it it's real easy and convenient | 00:54 |
| directhex | quilt occasionally involves fighting IME | 00:55 |
| directhex | sadly | 00:55 |
| directhex | but computers hate me | 00:55 |
| directhex | also, anyone from motu-release about? | 00:55 |
| JontheEchidna | heh, it's just that it has a steep learning curve, and you can screw it up accidentally easily >.> | 00:55 |
| Mewcenary | Hopefully, a kind sponsor will step forward. One step towards being a 'real' Debian developer etc! | 00:56 |
| directhex | iulian or ScottK appear to be connected, though not necessarily awake | 00:56 |
| directhex | Mewcenary, like i said, life would be easier if it were a team package - or perhaps of interest to a team (even if not technically 'theirs')? | 00:57 |
| Mewcenary | There's always bribery. | 00:58 |
| directhex | bribery? | 01:00 |
| directhex | seems you've worked with the debian cabal before! | 01:01 |
| * Mewcenary smiles. | 01:01 | |
| Mewcenary | Yes, I did witness some of that. | 01:01 |
| Mewcenary | Someone trying to get a sponsor for a version already in Ubuntu, but got nigh-on shouted down re: YOUR PACKAGE IS WORTHLESS, UBUNTU HAVE DIFFERENT AIMS etc. | 01:01 |
| Mewcenary | I wnated to give him a hug. | 01:01 |
| directhex | it largely comes down to who you know, and who you work with. some teams have excellent cooperation, some have slight cooperation, some aren't on speaking terms | 01:02 |
| directhex | try the mono, kde, and mozilla teams in order for examples of the above | 01:03 |
| slangasek | I don't think what you're describing is "the debian cabal" | 01:04 |
| directhex | indeed | 01:06 |
| directhex | but like the illuminati, a diluted brand remains enigmatic | 01:06 |

| JontheEchidna | any particular ones you need help with? | 02:09 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: Mainly the errors :-) | 02:09 |
| JontheEchidna | Could you paste your debian/control file please? | 02:10 |
| twb | I'd like to find out who is maintaining the Ubuntu midori package, so I can discuss the -fPIC issue with them. | 02:10 |
| JontheEchidna | in pastebin, of course :) | 02:10 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: http://dpaste.com/19785/ | 02:10 |
| twb | Hmm, I guess I can get it from debian/changelog... | 02:11 |
| JontheEchidna | amikrop: Ok, the errors are quite simple to fix. Just add the packages specified to the Build-Depends line | 02:11 |
| JontheEchidna | (cdbs, python, python-support) | 02:11 |
| directhex | twb, yeah, that's the first place to look | 02:11 |
| directhex | twb, otherwise known as the "he who touched it last" issue | 02:12 |
| JontheEchidna | amikrop: Actually you probably would only need python-support rather than both | 02:12 |
| JontheEchidna | since python-support depends on python | 02:12 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: I manually changed Standards-Version to 3.8.0 after lindian's warning, and I added ${python:Depends} myself (I don't know if it was a right thing to do). | 02:12 |
| twb | directhex: thanks. | 02:12 |
| JontheEchidna | amikrop: You would want to add cdbs and python-support to Line 5 | 02:13 |
| JontheEchidna | just put a comment after debhelper (>=7) and then put cdbs, python support | 02:13 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: any (>= x) things after them? | 02:13 |
| JontheEchidna | nah, just the package names | 02:13 |
| JontheEchidna | *python-support | 02:14 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), cdbs, python-support | 02:14 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: like that? | 02:14 |
| JontheEchidna | amikrop: yup, that should do it | 02:14 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: Was it right to manually change Standards-Version and add ${python:Depends} myself? | 02:15 |
| JontheEchidna | Yes | 02:15 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: E: webpage source: missing-python-build-dependency <-- persists | 02:16 |
| JontheEchidna | hmm, maybe you do need to build-depend on both | 02:16 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: What do you mean? | 02:17 |
| JontheEchidna | add python to the build-depends is probably required | 02:17 |
| amikrop | I 've done it. | 02:17 |
| amikrop | And got this error. | 02:17 |
| JontheEchidna | python and python-support? | 02:17 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: http://dpaste.com/19789/ | 02:18 |
| JontheEchidna | amikrop: You'd want that line to be like this: | 02:19 |
| JontheEchidna | Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), cdbs, python-support, python | 02:19 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: Worked. Thank you very much, for everything. :-) | 02:20 |
| JontheEchidna | You're quite welcome. :-) | 02:20 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: OK, now, after running debuild the command ended well but did not prosuce any .deb file. | 02:24 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: http://dpaste.com/19791/ | 02:24 |
| JontheEchidna | amikrop: To get the obvious out of the way, I'm guessing you've looked in the directory above where you debuild'd? | 02:26 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: Yes. | 02:26 |
| JontheEchidna | strange | 02:26 |
| JontheEchidna | it even says that it made a deb in the log | 02:26 |
| * JontheEchidna thinks | 02:28 | |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: Oh my God, it was a Nautilus problem. Although I changed directories with Nautilus, it didn't refresh. I had to manually refresh to see the .deb file. I am sorry. | 02:28 |
| JontheEchidna | Hehe :) | 02:28 |
| amikrop | :-P | 02:28 |
| JontheEchidna | It had me really going there for a minute, :P | 02:28 |
| amikrop | Me too ;) | 02:34 |
| JontheEchidna | I'm stepping out for 15 mins or so, if you have any further questions I'll get back to you then | 02:34 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: alright :-) | 02:38 |
| amikrop | JontheEchidna: for when you get back (or for anyone else): what is the standard way of distributing our packages? .orig.tar.gz .diff.gz .dsc <-- these 3 files? | 02:38 |
| dtchen | for non-native (specific to Debian and/or Ubuntu), yes, you'll want an orig, a dsc, and a diff | 02:44 |
| dtchen | sorry, to clarify: non-native == *not* specific to Debian and/or Ubuntu | 02:44 |
| * ajmitch is surprised at how few python packages have files in /usr/local after the recent transition | 02:44 | |
| wgrant | ajmitch: They'll FTBFS if they do. | 02:44 |
| ajmitch | wgrant: sadly not | 02:44 |
| wgrant | ajmitch: And lots of them do FTBFS because of that. | 02:44 |
| wgrant | ajmitch: They did two weeks ago... | 02:44 |
| ajmitch | well they may FTBFS after a recent python upload | 02:44 |
| wgrant | And they'll only end up in /usr/local after a recent Python upload. | 02:45 |
| * ajmitch has fixed a package recently which had many files in /usr/local, python was changed that day for --prefix & the layout option to be mutually exclusive | 02:45 | |
| amikrop | dtchen: ok, thank you | 02:49 |
| amikrop | anyway, thanks guys :) | 03:06 |
| amikrop | bye | 03:06 |
| amikrop | I have Architecture: any in debian/control. Why do I get an "i386" .deb and not a "any" one? | 04:05 |
| wgrant | amikrop: any means it will build a different binary for each architecture. | 04:07 |
| wgrant | You might be thinking of 'all', which generates one that installs on everything. | 04:07 |
| amikrop | wgrant: but it built a binary only for i386 | 04:08 |
| amikrop | and not for each architecture | 04:08 |
| wgrant | amikrop: It can't exactly magically transform your computer into all of the other architectures and build them. | 04:09 |
| amikrop | wgrant: ok, I 'll use "all", then | 04:30 |
| * calc thinks amikrop didn't get it | 04:46 | |
| calc | if/when he comes back someone should remind him to read the documentation, you can't just make an any package an all package for fun | 04:47 |
| calc | and expect it to work anyway | 04:47 |
| wgrant | calc: I know, but I only saw it after he left :( | 04:54 |

| directhex | iulian, there are 2 rdepends - banshee and monodevelop-boo | 09:47 |
| directhex | iulian, i don't know whether any banshee addins actually make use of boo, so i've not found a rational way to test that. and monodevelop-boo needs rebuilding anyway as the 1.9.2 in the archive is incompatible with monodevelop 1.9.3 | 09:48 |
| directhex | and monodevelop-boo 1.9.3 needs boo 0.8.2+, which is how we got here in the first place | 09:49 |

| amikrop | Hello, debuild gives me this error: http://dpaste.com/20020/ Here is my debian/control: http://dpaste.com/20019/ | 16:35 |
| amikrop | Any help would be appreciated much. | 16:35 |
| directhex | amikrop, you need a " ." as your spacer, not a blank line | 16:36 |
| amikrop | directhex: ok, thank you :) | 16:37 |
| amikrop | directhex: Also, I need to put an actual line break in the description (not an empty line). | 16:42 |
| amikrop | directhex: How can I do this? gDebi seems to ignore my line breaks. It doesn't break the lines, it only leaves empty ones when it sees " .". | 16:43 |
| directhex | amikrop, look at where "." is appropriate in http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-mono/monodoc/trunk/debian/control?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 | 16:44 |
| amikrop | directhex: I understood the use of " .". It leaves an empty line (\n\n). I just want to do a single line break (\n). How can I do that? | 16:52 |
| amikrop | directhex: If I just press Enter, a \n doesn't get in the description. | 16:55 |
| amikrop | directhex: Wether I press Enter or not, the final result is the same. | 16:55 |
| amikrop | And I don't want that. | 16:55 |
| amikrop | What can I do to avoid that? To actually get a \n in the result? | 16:55 |
| amikrop | Anyone else, too, any help, please? | 16:56 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: I doubt you can do this, at least that's how I interprete 5.6.13 of debian policy | 17:03 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: I can't just leave a line break? | 17:06 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: All I want is to just change a line. | 17:06 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: imho, you can't do this... but take a look at 5.6.13 yourself ;) | 17:06 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: Actually, I have some example code at my description, so I do need to leave a line break. | 17:06 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: ah... then use verbatim formatting (two leading spaces) | 17:07 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: Can I do this to my whole description, too? (not just the code) | 17:07 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: I guess so | 17:08 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: if you think you'll need to have it verbatim *shrug* | 17:08 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: I read about verbatim, but I can't see where it says: "line breaks will actually take effect" | 17:10 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: it only says it will "hradly" wrap them | 17:10 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: if it wouldn't display line breaks, I guess the note about indenting wouldn't make too much sense? | 17:11 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: I hope so | 17:12 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: I made them verbatim, but still, my newlines were ignored. | 17:21 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: then I don't know | 17:25 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: ok, thanks, anyway | 17:25 |

| amikrop | My package is GPLed. I am the upstream author. I have a file named LICENSE, which contains the GPL 3. But it isn't placed anywhere by my deb. Should it be placed somewhere? What can I do about it? Here is my debian/rules http://dpaste.com/20049/ | 17:43 |
| amikrop | I also have a file called README, which is places in /usr/share/docs/mypackage/README, but LICENSE is not placed anywhere. | 17:44 |

| amikrop | So, what can I do, for my LICENSE file to be placed somewhere during my .deb installation? | 17:46 |
| tgm4883 | amikrop, I don't think the LICENSE file needs to be installed, if it's like the COPYING files that I have in my source, they should just need to be in the source tarball | 17:48 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: you could mention it in debian/docs... but OTOH if LICENSE *only* contains the GPL-3, you don't need to have it in the .deb | 17:48 |

| amikrop | tgm4883: So, I should rename it to COPYING and retry? | 17:49 |
| tgm4883 | amikrop, read what sistpoty|work said, you shouldn't need it in the .deb, just in the orig.tar.gz | 17:51 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: why don't I need it in the .deb? | 17:51 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: the rationale is that you can use a .deb only on a debian/ubuntu system, and in the system there's always a copy of the GPL (in each major version) installed, hence this would be duplication | 17:51 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: but 3? | 17:52 |
| * sebner waves at sistpoty|work :) | 17:52 | |
| amikrop | GPL 3? | 17:52 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: yep, /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3 | 17:52 |
| sistpoty|work | hi sebner | 17:52 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: ok, so it will only be in .org.tar.gz | 17:52 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: yep... unlike the deb, the orig.tar.gz can be used w.o. having debian/ubuntu installed ;) | 17:53 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: ok, thanks ;-) | 17:53 |
| sistpoty|work | np | 17:53 |
| amikrop | tgm4883: thank you, too | 17:53 |

| amikrop | sistpoty|work: Is -c gpl3 an option for dh_make? | 18:21 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: no idea... haven't used dh_make in a while myself | 18:22 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: Because, although my upstream program is licensed under GPL 3, I ran dh_make with -c gpl | 18:22 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: and now debian/copyright points to `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL'. | 18:23 |
| amikrop | which has gpl 2 | 18:23 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: /u/s/c-l/GPL will always point to the latest version (mine points to GPL-3, are you running an old release?) | 18:24 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: however you can (and should) always adjust debian/copyright to your liking (or let's say to your and the archive admins liking *g*) | 18:25 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: there is no gpl3 option | 18:25 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: but ok, it points to 3 for me, too | 18:25 |
| amikrop | :-) | 18:25 |
| sistpoty|work | amikrop: some people prefer to have debian/copyright point to the non-symlink, some the other way round... your choice (unless you have v3 only, then I guess pointing to GPL-3 directly seems better to me) | 18:26 |
| amikrop | sistpoty|work: no, I 'm OK with th symlink ;) | 18:28 |

| ahasenack | hi, I'm trying to build a source package (debuild -S). The package is for jaunty, and I'm on intrepid. I thought it should work, but it fails when trying to include a file from debian/rules that doesn't exist. Should it be possible? Here is the log: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/139178/ | 20:33 |
| ahasenack | /usr/share/python/python.mk doesn't exist on intrepid (or I don't know which package installs it) | 20:33 |
| sistpoty | ahasenack: that file isn't present in intrepid | 20:34 |
| ahasenack | sistpoty: correct. So while in general it could work, in this case I can't build a source package? | 20:35 |
| sistpoty | ahasenack: well, not without fiddling with it. (/me hasn't done a python package since ages, so I haven't too much clue about it) | 20:35 |
| ahasenack | sistpoty: so I have to install jaunty if I want to build this jaunty source package. I might as well build the binary then too, I was thinking about using ppa | 20:36 |
| sistpoty | ahasenack: or you could create a jaunty chroot | 20:36 |
| ahasenack | sistpoty: I tried using mk-sbuild-lv (which I use for other distros), but debootstrap knows nothing about jaunty and it fails | 20:37 |
| ScottK | ahasenack: That's a new file than only exists with Python 2.6. You'll need to build the source package in Jaunty. | 20:38 |
| ScottK | ahasenack: You need the deboostrap from intrepid-backports. | 20:38 |
| ahasenack | so, get debootstrap which knows about jaunty, create the chroot, then build the source package and upload the source to ppa so I get the binary. I guess I can then skip the ppa part and just build the binary locally | 20:41 |
| sistpoty | yep | 20:41 |
| ahasenack | lots of stuff to build a source package, too bad the source build is not distro agnostic | 20:42 |
| Laney | I can see the whole sponsor queue without scrolling now | 20:42 |
| ScottK | ahasenack: True. Generally it is, just sometimes new stuff has to get introduced. | 20:44 |
| ahasenack | I guess I thought the files would not be "run", just packaged, when a source package is built | 20:45 |
| ahasenack | like a tarball | 20:45 |
| ScottK | Generally the clean rule is called when the source package is built. | 20:45 |
| ScottK | That can sometimes needs lots of stuff. | 20:45 |
| ahasenack | well, I have time to walk the dog now that the jaunty chroot is being built and packages downloaded :) | 20:46 |

| _stochastic_ | Hi room, I'm having some real troubles getting this package to build, can anyone give me a hand: https://launchpad.net/~stochastic/+archive/ppa/+build/916915 | 21:27 |
| jcfp | _stochastic_: it's looking for avcodec.h and avformat.h in the wrong place? | 21:37 |
| _stochastic_ | yeah, I think so | 21:38 |
| jcfp | libavformat-dev: /usr/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h but the compile does this: -I/usr/include/ffmpeg//libavcodec -I/usr/include/ffmpeg//libavformat | 21:38 |
| _stochastic_ | hmm, so I need to patch the source code? | 21:38 |
| jcfp | dunno, first test this is actually the problem as I'm not some gcc guru :) | 21:39 |
| ripps | I'm not getting alot of help from #launchpad, it seems somethings wrong with my team ppa, it can't find dependencies that have been the ppa for over a day. It just stopped working around 2 hours ago. | 21:46 |
| sbasuita | Hi! The last comment on this needs-upgrade bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifer/+bug/342350 says that I need to follow the process documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess . However, under the relevant section (Universe->Bug fix only), it says that the bug should just be filed with changelog/justification (done) and a MOTU should just upload. Am I right in thinking I don't need to do anything more t | 21:46 |
| sbasuita | o push this bug along? | 21:46 |

| Yasumoto | I'm trying to build a package using pdebuild, and it's telling me that the build dependency of python-cheetah is an uninstallable virtual package, although an apt-cache search seems to show that it isn't | 23:31 |
| Yasumoto | does anyone happen to know of a way I can check if it's actually a virtual package? | 23:31 |
| ripps | Yasumoto: I tend to get this when pbuilder is looking for a package in Universe, try adding "COMPONENTS="main restricted universe multiverse"" to your .pbuilderrc. | 23:40 |
| Yasumoto | ripps: thanks a million, I'll give that a try now | 23:41 |
| cody-somerville | you'll need to do a pbuilder update --override-config | 23:46 |
| Yasumoto | cody-somerville: ah, that's what it is | 23:48 |
| Yasumoto | ripps + cody-somerville: thank you | 23:48 |
