panaggioI'm installing a package here that has libg2c0-dev as a dependency. Is this package no longer supported by ubuntu community?02:15
panaggiothe last release that supported it was hardy02:15
ajmitchtry libg2-dev instead02:16
panaggioajmitch: I think they're a bit different02:21
panaggiothe one I need stands for Fortran 7702:22
ajmitchsorry, I misread the apt-cache output02:22
panaggiowhereas the one you suggested offers 2D graphics02:22
panaggioajmitch: no problem02:23
ajmitchlibg2c0 comes from the gcc-3.4 source, and it doesn't appear to build a -dev package02:23
panaggioajmitch: but there was this package in hardy http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libg2c0-dev02:24
ajmitchwhich appears to no longer be built02:26
ScottKI have a vague recollection of us getting out of the Fortran 77 business.02:29
* ajmitch remembers laserjock complaining about it at one point02:30
micahgdo we really need 5 versions of gcc?02:34
micahgis there anything that even uses gcc-3.4 anymore?02:36
ScottKmicahg: Yes.  There is.  We remove them when nothing uses them anymore.02:40
ScottKIt's actually 6 in Karmic.02:41
micahgthere are 6 that depend on it?02:42
ScottKNo, 6 gcc versions.02:43
ScottKPicked up 4.4 and didn't lose any yet.02:43
micahgoh02:43
ScottKI note 3.3 is still there.  Not sure why.02:43
* ajmitch is glad we don't have 2.95 still02:44
* RAOF fondly remembers some development on Windows with gcc 2.9502:45
micahg3.3's only source at this point seemingly02:45
* ScottK remembers filing the removal bug for 2.95 (during Hardy)02:46
ScottKmicahg: That and libstdc++502:46
ajmitchthose fond memories of c++ fun02:46
ScottKlibstdc++5 has no reverse build depends, so I suspect this can go.02:46
micahgCan I look those up through rdepends?02:47
ajmitchI think it may have been kept around for those old pieces of proprietary software02:47
ScottKAlso looks like glassfish-bin somehow cares.02:47
ScottKmicahg: You need the reverse-build-depends script in ubuntu-dev-tools.02:48
micahgah02:48
ScottKmicahg: Or apt-cache rdepends for run time dependencies.02:48
ScottKOf which libstdc++5 has some.02:48
kb9vqf_ScottK: UT2004 (a somewhat popular game that was released for Windows and Linux) still uses libstdc++502:50
* kb9vqf_ thinks it might not be a good idea to remove it02:50
ajmitchthere are a few like that02:51
ScottKKilling off 4.1 might be a better shot.02:52

AndrewGe1Hi. I'm trying to fix a package that's picking up a wrong directory for a python directory in a configure script. When I autoreconf and autoconf with a newer version than what was used for the packaged script, should I patch the configure script manually?13:52
=== AndrewGe1 is now known as AndrewGee
geserAndrewGee: the autoreconf fixed it and you ask how to best package the fix?13:53
AndrewGeegeser: Yes.13:54
geserdoes the package use a patch system already?13:54
AndrewGeeI've set up dpatch for it ready, for just this fix.13:54
geserusually it's not well liked to introduce a patch system where none was used, but in this case I'd prefer one (else merging configure will be a pain)13:56
AndrewGeeOkay. So I should just patch the configure script?13:56
geserso please use a patch system and also include in the patch description how to recreate this patch if needed13:56
AndrewGeeOkay :)13:56
Laneyit'd be nice to send the patch upstream too so we don't have to carry it13:56
geserthat too13:57
AndrewGeeOk13:57

evanrmurphydholbach: Hi! You still there?15:14
dholbachevanrmurphy: yep15:16
evanrmurphydholbach: Thanks for answering my question. It's totally fine that you removed my comment on the wiki, but perhaps you could explain a bit more to help me understand, as I'm still gaining familiarity with these tools.15:16
dholbachsure15:16
evanrmurphydholbach: I guess I understand in principle the difference between building a binary package and building the source.15:16
evanrmurphyWel, I think. ;)15:16
dholbachjust running "debuild" will give you .deb packages in the end, so installable binary packages15:16
dholbach"debuild -S" will rebuild the source package, so give you a .diff.gz and a .dsc file for your .orig.tar.gz15:17
evanrmurphyhmmm15:17
evanrmurphyI see15:17
evanrmurphyit builds the .diff.gz based off, for example, the changes we made to hello earlier in the tutorial.15:18
dholbachexactly15:18
evanrmurphybut then in building the source package, we go on to run sudo pbuilder build ../*.dsc15:18
evanrmurphydoesn't that build the deb just like the previous section?15:18
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff plays with the source package creation a bit15:18
evanrmurphythanks15:19
dholbachyes, but you need to have the source package (.dsc, .diff.gz, .orig.tar.gz) before you start running pbuilder on it15:19
DrknezzHi guys!15:19
evanrmurphydholbach: So the difference between the .deb created in the binary section from the one created in the source section:15:20
dholbachthere's no .deb created in the source section15:20
DrknezzI want to ask something, why did you leave adept? packagekit is so bad, it barely displays GUI apps, and not all of 'em :(15:20
dholbachthere's no compilation or installation of files happening there15:20
evanrmurphythe .deb created in pbuilder doesn't count? :-/15:20
dholbachDrknezz: you might want to ask in #kubuntu-devel15:20
Drknezzdholbach: oh!, ok15:21
dholbachevanrmurphy: pbuilder calls something like "debuild" in the process15:21
dholbachevanrmurphy: pbuilder does not build a source package, it requires it beforehand15:21
evanrmurphyHmmm... I think I see now.15:22
evanrmurphydholbach: We need to build the binary package and the source package, correct?15:23
evanrmurphydholbach: I'm sure this will come together better for me as I continue perusing the documentation. Thanks a lot for your time.15:24
dholbachevanrmurphy: the most common workflow is to do something like this: apt-get source A; cd A-*; <do some changes, add changelog entry>; debuild -S; pbuild the resulting new source package; play with the resulting new .deb package; when happy, send debdiff between both .dsc files for review15:26
dholbachor if you're part of the uploader team, upload the resulting source package15:26
dholbachinstead of using pbuilder, you can use   debuild   too, to build the package locally15:27
evanrmurphydholbach: That helps me very much to see a workflow overview like that.15:28
dholbachgreat15:28
evanrmurphydholbach: Unless I'm still off-base here, I guess my comment on the wiki came from confusion because it appears that in the section Building the Package, we build a binary package, whereas in Building the Source Package, we build a source package *and then* build a(nother) binary package.15:31
dholbachevanrmurphy: maybe we need some kind of "overview" or workflow diagram or something15:32
evanrmurphydholbach: So if you follow both sections, you end up with two binaries. What I neglected to understand there is that they are two different ways to build the package, a la, "dholbach> instead of using pbuilder, you can use   debuild   too, to build the package locally"15:32
evanrmurphybut it's not a huge deal15:33
dholbachI see what you mean15:33
evanrmurphydholbach: Maybe I'll just tweak the phrasing a bit to remedy my particular confusion.15:33
quadrisproLaney: matrices seems taken from a website, but they aren't covered by any license15:34
dholbachevanrmurphy: that'd be sweet15:34
evanrmurphydholbach: Thanks again! :)15:34
dholbachevanrmurphy: rock on!15:34
Laneyquadrispro: please confirm they are redistributable15:34
quadrisproLaney: mmm... the right solution may be exclude them from the binary (even their contents are only numbers)15:35
quadrisprommm... no15:35
Laneyno that wouldn't help15:35
* quadrispro confused15:35
quadrisproLaney: ok, and... repacking the tarball?15:37
quadrisprommm15:37
Laneywell15:37
Laneypresumably they're in there for a reason?15:37
* gaspa 's trying to compile unleaden swallow on arm :| omg!15:37
quadrisproyes, README.matrices explains well, but they aren't strictly needed15:38
quadrisprosimply, they allow user to fit a whole movie on a single CD15:40
Laneyyou should ask for an archive opinion, but AFAIK all source files need to have license information clearly specified15:40
quadrisproScottK: what do you think about it?15:40
LaneyNote that under international copyright law (this applies in the United States, too), no distribution or modification of a work is allowed without an explicit notice saying so. Therefore a program without a copyright notice is copyrighted and you may not do anything to it without risking being sued! Likewise if a program has a copyright notice but no statement saying what is permitted then nothing is permitted.15:41
quadrisproLaney: yes, I know that15:41
Laneyit's clear that the upstream author didn't create them15:42
ScottKLaney: Generally we take the position that if a full copy of the license is included in a tarball it applies to all the files in the tarball unless there is a reason to believe it doesn't.15:42
LaneyScottK: There is a reason - the author says he took them from elsewhere15:42
quadrisprothose files contain only number, there's no code15:42
LaneyI would have thought they were copyrightable still15:42
ScottKSo in general per file copyright/license stuff is not strictly required.15:43
=== Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan
ScottKquadrispro: As an example, if I take a bunch of data and index it, the index is copyrightable even though it has no original content.  The creative work is in the organization of it.15:43

Laneythey are clearly a creative work15:44
quadrisprommm15:44
ScottKquadrispro: Are these numbers the result of natural mathmatics or was some thought original work of authorship needed to create them?15:44
MTecknologyWhat's the package for the bretty boot screen15:45
quadrisproScottK, I can find a lot of website where these "matrices" are available for the download but I don't know, so we can keep them out from the tarball, user will be free to decide what to do15:48
quadrisproand probably it's the better solution15:48
Laneyurgh, building GHC15:49
ScottKquadrispro: I think that's a good solution.  In the meantime you might try to hunt down the original source and get permission.15:49

directhexlibxul-dev is for 1.8, the app may need patching to work with 1.9x21:01
RoAkSoAxdirecthex, right, but the dependency should be xulrunner-1.9-dev, or should it be xulrunner-dev ?21:02
directhexRoAkSoAx, do you want it to build against firefox 3.0, or the default firefox?21:12
RoAkSoAxdirecthex, another app is using xulrunner21:12

directhexRoAkSoAx, xulrunner-1.9-dev is for firefox 3's version of xulrunner. xulrunner-1.9.1-dev is for firefox 3.5's version of xulrunner. xulrunner-dev is whichever's the default. which is right for you?21:14

RoAkSoAxHeya guys how can I fix this building error? error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/cobbler': Permission denied23:08
RAOFLooks like you're (at least) failing to set --prefix.  But how to actually set this is build-system dependent; we'll need more context.23:10
RoAkSoAxRAOF, this is actually a python app and there's no prefix to set since I'm passing 'python setup.py install' the install process23:14
RAOFRight.  So, you pass "python setup.py install --prefix=/usr" :)23:15
RAOFThere is a prefix :)23:15
RoAkSoAxRAOF, I see though --prefix was only good on C/C++ apps :)23:16
geserRoAkSoAx: you are missing --root23:21
geserit tries to install into the root file-system instead of below debian/tmp23:21
geserand you should also use --install-layout=deb instead of --prefix (IIRC the both don't work together very well)23:22
RoAkSoAxgeser, ok cool thanks :)23:23
RAOFI see python packaging has changed.  Superb.23:23
* RAOF squirrels that away.23:23
RoAkSoAxI already have the package packaged with CDBS, though I'm trying to package it with debhelper23:23
ajmitchRAOF: only every release or so23:24
RAOFAnd then we get to migrate to python 3, and break everything?23:25
gesersure :) that will be fun23:25
ajmitchthe little shift from site-packages to dist-packages has been enough fun23:26
RoAkSoAx--install-layout does not work23:26

ajmitchit of course is failing with py 2.623:27

RoAkSoAxanyways, I'm trying to debianize and app, which is fedora based. So I need to make many changes to the install process. Should I just modify setup.py ??23:30
ajmitch--install-layout=deb --root=$(CURDIR)/debian/cobbler23:30
geseris it a usual setup.py (from python-setuptools?) or a custom one just also named setup.py?23:30
* ajmitch thinks that --root is right, it may be wrong 23:31
RoAkSoAxgeser, i believe it is with python-setuptools: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/207775/23:32
