jmarsden$() is newer bash syntax, and I think it is preferred unless you need your script to work in old versions of bash.  See the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide which says "The $(...)  form has superseded backticks for command substitution."  http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/commandsub.html00:19

henrik-hw0hi. any chance of requesting an update of libsndfile to 1.0.18 or newer? it brings notable new features such as support for ogg vorbis and flac.01:19
ajmitchhenrik-hw0: not likely to happen in jaunty, since it's released, but we have 1.0.20 in karmic01:21

Ampelbeinnellery: hi. about testbuilding (python-)packages: it is extremely useful to add pkgbinarymangler as additional package, either via --extrapackages in pbuilder or as build-dep for ppa-testing. that way, a FTBFS will be shown for the python2.6-dist-packages thing.01:54

MTecknologyI was trying to follow the Packaging 101 video. I think the video might need to be remade since it seems like much of what was being done in there won't work anymore05:45
MTecknologythe ed version used it's on ftp.gnu.org anymore and when I run "dh" in there, I get this error: dh: cannot read debian/control: No such file or directory05:46

garyvdmHi - I'm trying to test a package with pbuilder. When I run sudo pbuilder create - it does nothing12:46

garyvdmHI15:14
garyvdmHow are you?15:14
stefanlsdheys. good!  we put a mirror in /etc/pbuilderrc15:15
stefanlsdyou prob just want to take that out15:15
garyvdmOk15:15
garyvdmstefanlsd: It's downloading alot, even though I'm building a jaunty. Is there a  way to get it to use a ubuntu cd?15:18
garyvdmOr apt-cache15:18
stefanlsdgaryvdm: not that i know of. You can pass pbuilder a mirror, so if you could create a 'mirror' repo of the cd, that should work.. if you have an apt-cache repo, that would work15:20
garyvdmOk - thanks - I'll look at that - I unfortunately cant use that much bandwidth.15:21
stefanlsdgaryvdm: yeah. you should of actually copied my pbuilder tar.gz files :|15:21
garyvdmstefanlsd: would it be ok if I poped in on Monday with a flash drive?15:22
stefanlsdgaryvdm: yeah, np15:23
garyvdmcool.15:24

_dcravenSo.. I'm looking for an package upgrade bug to repackage if there is a newer version upstream compared to the version in the ubuntu repos. Many of these (in LP) are assigned to debbugs meaning the intent is that they are to be upgraded in Debian, then synced. Are we supposed to ignore these?16:37
RainCTUhm... launchpad.net, wiki.ubuntu.com, ubuntuforums.org and packages.ubuntu.com are broken :/16:57
iulianHmm, indeed.17:00

mtinmanHey all, I am trying to build mtftar into a .deb, but the Makefile contains no instructions to install. What commands/code should I add to this file to make it install, so I can get this package built? Any help is much appreciated...21:05
sbasuitamtinman, just put your install commands into debian/rules21:24
mtinmansbasuita: In a nutshell, how do I do that?21:25
sbasuitamtinman, debian/rules is a makefile, so just edit the 'install' rule21:26
mtinmansbasuita: Cool, thatnks, I'll try that...21:26
mtinmansbasuita: Where is said file usually located in the file system?21:27
sbasuitamtinman, root of source package/debian/rules21:28
sbasuitamtinman, it is pretty vital... how are you packaging this?21:28
mtinmansbasuita: I'm trying to use the new packager, GiftWrap, and also by command line, which I'm more farmiliar with (I'm older)21:29
mtinman*Chckle*21:29
mtinmanI am attempting to package mtftar.21:30
cpscottiTrying again: Can anyone review this package http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/harpia ? It is a "simulink-like" visual automatic programming tool for computer vision and image processing. (I know it's not a REVU day.. but..)21:31
sbasuitamtinman, you should read the packaging guide on the wiki21:31
mtinmansbasuita: Thanks, I appreciate your help... :-)21:31

kb9vqf_Any idea why REVU would crash with this error?23:27
kb9vqf_http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/389-directory-server23:27
kb9vqf_(The error is on that page)23:27
ajmitchit's something I've seen before, a problem with the changelog parsing23:28
kb9vqf_Well, the only thing I changed was this line23:29
kb9vqf_389-directory-server (1.2.0-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low23:29
kb9vqf_Is the version number incorrect?23:29
=== Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth
ajmitchversion number ought to be ok23:30
kb9vqf_For some reason it is affecting a lot of my packages and I don't know how to fix/work around it23:30
kb9vqf_Odd23:30
kb9vqf_I assume that while it crashes no one can review the package?23:31
ajmitchit makes it difficult to review :)23:31
kb9vqf_:)23:31
kb9vqf_Who can I ask to fix it?23:31
ajmitchhave you been working with the debian people about the renaming?23:31
kb9vqf_Yes I have23:31
kb9vqf_I contacted Michele (sp?)23:31
* ajmitch has taken a look at the revu problem, but RainCT is probably the most likely to know about this23:31
kb9vqf_He/she hasn't worked on it in a while23:31
RainCTajmitch: which problem?23:32
ajmitchI may be biased but things like this I'd rather see in Debian first23:32
ajmitchRainCT: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/389-directory-server23:32
kb9vqf_ajmitch: Certainly understandable23:32
ajmitchit's come up before, the changelog parsing seems busted23:33
kb9vqf_ajmitch But Ubuntu is missing a lot of the other packages that Debian does have, such as jss (which has already gotten one recommendation)23:33
ajmitchkb9vqf_: I see that I'm still part of the alioth pkg-fedora-ds team, so can probably sponsor uploads there when ready23:33
kb9vqf_ajmitch: Good! :)23:33
kb9vqf_ajmitch: As you can see, my servers are almost back up and I'm resuming work on this23:34
* kb9vqf_ was down for way too long...23:34
kb9vqf_I'll give you a poke when something is ready23:34
ajmitchthe debian NEW queue hasn't been moving fast recently23:34
ajmitchin the meantime, I guess we can get it into ubuntu23:35
ajmitchhas upstream been moving fast with renaming?23:35
RainCTkb9vqf_: something in your changelog is very wrong :P23:36
kb9vqf_RainCT: Yeah, but what?23:36
kb9vqf_Let me pastebin it23:36
ajmitchRainCT: the changelog at least looks fairly standard23:36
kb9vqf_RainCT: Here: http://pastebin.com/m7f99779523:37
kb9vqf_dpkg-buildpackage had no problems with it23:37
* ajmitch just added a newline to the changelog in the directory to see if that made any difference23:37
RainCTCan source package names start with a number?23:37
kb9vqf_RainCT: This went through OK once, then on the second upload it failed23:38
ajmitchbinary packages can, at least23:38
RainCTah yes, "must start with an alphanumeric character"23:38
RAOFRainCT: This has been clarified in policy 3.8.223:38
kb9vqf_Hey, it works now...what changed?23:39
kb9vqf_The newline?23:39
RainCTanyway, kb9vqf_: your page works now23:39
RainCTno, I've added some code to catch the exception23:39
kb9vqf_Thanks! :)23:39
ajmitchRainCT: any idea why though?23:39
ajmitchbecause such an exception shouldn't be raised :)23:40
ajmitchpython-debian is fairly old on there though23:40
RainCTajmitch: No. I've just tested it locally and on my PC it works23:41
ajmitch0.1.11 has a number of fixes from james_w about changelog parsing23:42
ajmitchshouldn't be hard to backport to that old hardy system :)23:43
RainCT  * Overhaul the parsing code to follow that used by dpkg-parsechangelog.py,23:43
RainCT    making it much more robust.23:43
RainCT    - There is now a "strict" option to turn warnings in to errors. It is23:43
RainCT      on by default23:44
RainCTI guess that's it23:44
RainCTajmitch: right, feel free to update the package :)23:45
ajmitchinstalling the version from intrepid should just work, I hope23:45
ajmitchok, installed that23:46
ajmitchRainCT_: ok, hopefully it should all magically work now23:48
