Zhenechhyperair, building XD09:27
krisivesRight now everytime I want to make my test deb I have to run make -f debian/rules unpatch09:28

Zhenechhyperair, btw, if you have time, it'd be nice to replace the hardcoded 0.17 version of geany with something dynamic (parse the output of geany --version and put it in substvars?)09:41
hyperairoh yeah that would be a good idea.09:43

rawanghi, how to cancel a dh_auto_test?10:58
cjwatsonrawang: ctrl-c?10:58
cjwatsonor do you mean "how do you make it not run?"10:58
rawangcjwatson, yeah11:01
rawanghow do I make it not run :)11:01
rawangcjwatson, I just leave %:   to do  dh $@11:02
rawangi mean11:02
rawang%:11:02
rawang        dh $@11:02
rawanguse dh711:02
StevenKThat will certainly run dh_auto_test11:03
directhexyould you just have a blank override_dh_auto_test ?11:03
Laneyyes11:03
rawangoh,11:03
rawangoverride_dh_auto_test with nothing command right?11:04
Laneyjust put override_dh_auto_test:11:04
directhexthen dh voodoo will run whatever you specify instead of dh_auto_test11:04
Laneywhich is nothing11:05
rawanggood idea11:05
cjwatsonright, sorry, that was what I was going to suggest but I got distracted :)11:07
cjwatsonif you do that, you need to build-depend on debhelper (>= 7.0.50)11:07
cjwatsonI also have to ask - why?11:08
cjwatsonit should be unusual to have to arrange *not* to run a test suite11:08
cjwatsonso it's worth looking into why you feel the need to turn this off, and fixing it11:08
rawangcjwatson, so what is usual way to disable the tests?11:09
rawangcjwatson, the tests need a dbus daemon within build environment,  but apparently the temp build environment don't have11:10
rawangLaney, StevenK directhex thanks for you ideas :)11:11
james_wthe tests should perhaps create a private dbus session so that they don't intefere with anything on the system11:12
james_wcjwatson: I believe that is the version that adds the override_* handling11:12
cjwatsonjames_w: yes11:13
cjwatsonjames_w: what I meant is why does he need to disable the test suite11:13
james_wah, sorry, misread11:13
rawangcjwatson, yep, so what is usual way to disable the tests?11:13
cjwatsonrawang: we already gave you the usual way to disable the tests - but it's also usual, when disabling tests, to consider why11:13
rawangbut not using override11:13
cjwatsonit's best not to disable tests at all11:13
rawangyes, agreed11:14
cjwatsondh 7 didn't have an elegant way to disable tests before 7.0.50 - you could do it but it was painful11:14
cjwatsondh build --before dh_auto_test # I think11:14
cjwatsonand that might confuse something else - so use that only if you're prepared to debug stuff :)11:14
rawangcjwatson, the build is ahead of test already11:15
rawangbut seems like override_dh_auto_test won't work11:16
directhexrawang, nah, the point is, the debian/rules "build" rule is handled as "dh build" which runs through a long list of dh_foo commands. you used to specify "dh build --before dh_foo" then "dh build --after dh_foo" to make changes to dh_foo behaviour11:16
rawangdirecthex, yes, i see, but the problem is i only want to skip the dh_auto_test11:18
directhexrawang, which is what i just described - the old pre-7.0.50 way to do that11:18
directhexrawang, doesn't the build system have a --disable-tests or something?11:18
rawangdirecthex, and override_dh_auto_test doesn't work,  my debhelper is 7.0.17ubuntu411:19
directhexwell, that explains why it doesn't work11:19
directhexlet me find an example of old overrides11:20
rawangdirecthex, yea, unluckily, the build system don't have a --disable-tests options :(11:20
directhexgnome-subtitles in pkg-cli-apps svn11:20
rawangdirecthex, sure, thanks ! :)11:20
rawangok11:20
directhexhttp://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-cli-apps/packages/gnome-subtitles/trunk/debian/rules11:21
slytherinrawang: why not patch the source to not run the tests.11:21
rawangslytherin, you mean patch an option to disable the tests for configure?11:22
slytherinsomething like that11:22
Laneywhy's that better than overriding dh_auto_test?11:23
rawangslytherin, ok, nice, but I might need to skip the tests first to see whether it works or not, thanks :)11:23
LaneyI suppose you could disable some of the test11:23
slytherinLaney: it will surely work no matter what version of debhelper. :-)11:23
Laneys11:23
Laneyheh11:23
Laneya versioned build-dep is no problem...11:23
rawangdirecthex, there is not a "skip test" from your example11:24
rawangif --disable-tests is specified, the dh will not run dh_auto_test wisely?11:25
directhexrawang, there's an override though - dh_auto_configure is overridden11:27
directhexrawang, try also nant11:27
rawangdirecthex, sorry, what is nant? :)11:28
rawangdirecthex, even though I could override configure, but does it help to avoid running dh_auto_test?11:28
directhexrawang, another overridden package11:29
rawangok11:29
directhexrawang, um..... the point here is you do as cjwatson says, and use "dh build --before_auto_test \n dh_build --after dh_auto_test" as your build: rule11:29
Laneyis it?11:30
directhexand then the build rule will do everything before, and everything after, dh_auto_test in its list o' commands - but not dh_auto_test11:30
LaneyI thought the point was to override and version the b-d11:30
directhexLaney, or that11:30
* Laney spins in circles11:30
* Laney goes back to just a minute11:30
* directhex flings a monkey at Laney 11:30
rawangdirecthex, oh, the point is run all the dhs before and after dh_auto_test, so that we could skip dh_auto_test, right?11:31
directhexright11:31
rawanggot it11:31
rawangugh, it appears to be complicated then, :(11:32
directhexrawang, easier with 7.0.50!11:32
rawangif my debhelper > 7.0.50, i could just using "override_dh_auto_test: with nothing " to simply skip the dh_auto_test, right?11:33
directhexright11:34
rawangok11:34

Do we plan to remove 0.8 in karmic and I add a Replaces: or do you think we should use make the same trick that in clutter, ie using version number in -doc package name?19:29
fabrice_sptbh, I still don't see the point of recovering a changelog entry from dapper, when the package has been synced 8 times since then. But I will add the dapper entry. Should I also add the build* entries?19:30
fabrice_spooops: no build entry in that case19:30
andvfabrice_sp, nvm19:31
andvfabrice_sp, leave it as it is19:31
fabrice_spnp: I'm updating it right now19:31
fabrice_spandv, new debdiff uploaded19:37
andvfabrice_sp, perfect19:37
andvfabrice_sp, thanks for the fast responses19:38
andvfabrice_sp, I gonna process it later when I get back home19:38
krisivesfabrice_sp: You helped me yesterday, right?19:38
fabrice_spthanks to you to sponsor my upload19:38
andvfabrice_sp, are you willing to become a developer?19:38
fabrice_spkrisives, I think so, yes19:38
fabrice_spabout the patches, right?19:38
krisivesI found the problem I was having19:38
andvor you are just a normal contributor19:39
krisivesfabrice_sp: It was because my patch name was lexigraphically (caps) before the other patches19:39
krisivesI actually filed a bogus bug report and then RTFM'd and it was in the man page :(19:39
fabrice_spandv, for the moment, I'm just a u-c-d, but willing to become a motu at some point19:39
fabrice_spkrisives, this things happens, yes :-)19:39
andvfabrice_sp, cool19:40
krisivesYeah, but alwys lame to be the guy who fails to RTFM19:40
fabrice_splol19:40
andvfabrice_sp, when andol gets back tell him what to do19:40
fabrice_spandv, ok19:40
andvty19:41
fabrice_spyw :-)19:41
andvfabrice_sp, where you the one who said you use mom?19:45
krisivesThe code in question is parsing an SFTP address by hand, and many NPE and other bugs have came from it, would it be a horrible idea to link with libpcre3 and use a regex?19:45
fabrice_spandv, yes, but only to quickly get the dsc files, and the changelog. This is the part I will have to change19:46
andvfabrice_sp, start doing merges manually19:46
andvfabrice_sp, you'll improve and learn more19:46
fabrice_spandv, apart from the changelog, I do it manually19:47
fabrice_speasier to see what's happening19:47
andvk19:47
andolandv: You know, looking at the current Ubuntu unison package (2.27.57-1ubuntu1) doesn't contain any of those older changelog entries in its debian/changelog19:53
andolandv: If we add stuff, neither present in the current debian or ubuntu package, is it really a merge then?19:54
andvandol, add stuff?19:54
andvwe add something that was there before19:54
andvandol, https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unison19:55
andvandol, you see any changelog you didnt add?19:55
andolandv: Yes, I know LP keeps track of old stuff. What I'm saying is that the package unision 2.27.57-1ubuntu1 doesn't have those entires in its debian/changelog.19:56
andvandol, so?19:56
andvandol, it's something nice to do adding all changelog's entries19:56
andolandv: Hence I'm confusing about it beinga merge of 2.27.57-1ubuntu1 and 2.27-57-2, since we are adding stuff which isn't actually in any of those two packages.19:57
andvfabrice_sp, can you please explain him19:57
andvim leaving19:57
geserplease only add the changelog entries since the last sync not all available ubuntu changelog entries19:57
andvgeser, why?19:57
andvgeser, I'm used to apply all changelog entries19:57
andvgeser, some other developers are used to apply them all19:58
andvthere is no rule against it19:58
geserwhy do you add changelog entries for changes that have nothing to do with the current changes (i.e. when there was a sync in between)19:58
andvgeser, what's the point of dropping entries?19:59
andvgeser, does old entries hurt someone?19:59
geserno, but they don't help either19:59
andvsome developers add them all, some other don't19:59
andvthere is no rule19:59
andvand I prefer having all of them19:59
geserwhy it is important to re-add changelog entries from dapper when you do a change in karmic?20:00
andvgeser, I'm used to do it20:00
andvgeser, I see nothing bad on doing it20:00
andvgeser, I could say the same of dropping them20:00
andvgeser, someone worked on that package on dapper so we have to credit him for his work20:01
andvdropping stuff won't help20:01
geserand why do we credit it only in dapper and karmic and not e.g. in jaunty (where the package is synced)?20:01
andvgeser, all changelog entries are added20:02
andvgeser, so we add jaunty stuff too20:02
geserand when there are no ubuntu changes in jaunty?20:02
geserthen there are no ubuntu changelog entries there at all?20:02
andvgeser, if there are no changes we have to credit no one20:02
geserand why do you want to credit someone for changes in dapper when adding a new change to a synced package?20:03
geseror do I don't understand the problem?20:04
andvit looks like you are not understanding20:04
andvhe is doing a merge20:04
geserif the changes are carried over since dapper then I'm also for keeping the changelog entries since dapper20:04
andvand I told him to apply all changes since the beginning20:04
andv(on the changelog)20:04
geserbut I'm not for re-introducing changelog entries for changes that were merged in to the debian package already20:05
andvgeser, we think that different then20:05
andvgeser, there is no rule on it20:05
fabrice_spsorry, I was having an ice cream20:05
andvgeser, I like to have them all, but might be different for you20:05
geserno, but you are the first I know of doing it that way20:05
andvDktrKranz does it too20:06
andvfor example20:06
andvgeser, anyway as I already said there is no rule on it20:07
andvso we can have different opinions20:07
gesertrue20:07
andvno one can say that my / your opinion is right or wrong20:08
andvso andol if you wanna do it, good20:08
andvif not I won't take care of your merge, sorry20:08
geserand I'm certainly not telling that my opinion is the only truth, just commenting20:10
andolWell, unison 2.27.57-2 doesn't seem to come with any overly important changes anyway...20:10
andvgeser, yeah np20:12
geserandol: I'm not saying that you shouldn't do as your sponsor wants it, just noting that other sponsors might have a different view on things20:12
andvI'm off, andol if you still wanna fix it as fabrice_sp20:13
andv* ask20:13
andolgeser: ok20:13
fabrice_spI'm still here with my ice cream (32ÂșC here) :-)20:13
andolfabrice_sp: Ice cream is something I agree very much to :-)20:14

geserfabrice_sp: and it's not thawing?20:14
andv7away20:14
fabrice_spgeser, no, because I'm a fast eater :-)20:15
sebnergeser: have I read the backlog correctly? andv wants to re-add changes to the changelog when there was a sync and the re-added changes doesn't have anything todo with the current changes?20:17
gesersebner: if I understand it correctly then yes20:17
=== rmcbride_ is now known as rmcbride
sebnergeser: wth? You are right, nobody does that, simply because it doesn't make any sense20:18
geserI certainly won't hunt down old changelog entries from LP and only keep those which are already there20:19
iulianHmm, could someone please enlighten me a bit about this situation.  When we do a change to a package and that change is merged with the debian package, why should we bother in keeping the changelog of that *specific* change we did?20:21
iulianIn this case, the changes will appear twice.20:21
geseriulian: not the change, but the old changelog entries, telling that we changed the package once in the past20:22
iuliangeser: I meant the changelog entries.20:23
sebneriulian: if you sync a package our old changes vanish because debian changelog doesn't contain them20:23
iuliansebner: Yes, but it seems that andv wants to keep the changelog entries, even though, the changes we made are merged.20:25
iulianThis is what I want to clarify.20:25
fabrice_spiulian, you cna have a look at  bug #40052820:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 400528 in taskjuggler "Please merge taskjuggler 2.4.3-1 from Debian unstable" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/40052820:25
geseryes, e.g. intrepid: make changes, jaunty: sync, karmic: make other changes and re-add intrepid changelog20:26
fabrice_spin this case, I added the Dapper entry to the changelog20:26
fabrice_sp(you have both changelog)20:26
andolor in my case, bug #37765220:26
iuliangeser: Why's that?20:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 377652 in unison "please merge unison 2.27.57-2 (universe) from debian unstable (main)" [Wishlist,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/37765220:26
geseriulian: don't know, andv told to credit the old contributor20:28
iuliangeser: That's why +packages are for.20:28
iulianOr whatever that page was.20:28
andoliulian: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagename ?20:29
iulian /+uploaded-packages20:30
geserandol: I'm currently reading through the bug, but we don't need to mention the maintainer change (can lookup the mail for andv if necessary)20:32
andolgeser: Thanks, but I was actually just about to unassign myself from the merge. The changes just doesn't seem important enough to take a fight with a sponsor over.20:40
geserandol: for me http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29794377/unison_2.27.57-2_2.27.57-2ubuntu1.debdiff would be ready for sponsoring (after a quick look), but I don't want to hijack this now20:43
andolgeser: Ohh well, no hurry I guess. If nothing else we can always let this issue rest for a day or two.20:44
geserI'm for educating new contributors, but certainly don't let them repeat a debdiff for small errors till they are near the point of abandoning the merge20:46
geserI inform them about the small errors (so they learn for the future) and fix them myself before uploading20:46
andolgeser: Actually, I don't mind nitpicking, as long as I get to learn more. In this case the problem was/is having to do changes which I didn't understand why to do. (I.e the old changelog entries)20:48
