| bitplane | anyone around to answer my dumb questions? | 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| bitplane | do packages generally do a "make install" to install something? | 00:10 |
| bitplane | and is there an equivalent of "make uninstall" or is that something I made up and is completely unconventional | 00:10 |
| maxb | < bitplane> do packages generally do a "make install" to install something? | 00:11 |
| maxb | Well that all depends on how you define "package" | 00:11 |
| azeem_ | depends on the Makefile; automake e.g. ships an uninstall target by default | 00:11 |
| maxb | and how you define "install" | 00:11 |
| bitplane | well, currently I do "make" followed by a "make install" to compile, then copy my binaries into the system | 00:12 |
| maxb | Upstream source packages typically provide a "make install" | 00:12 |
| bitplane | it also calls a script which adds new mime types, installs icons and a desktop file | 00:12 |
| bitplane | registers my thumbnailer with gconf, etc | 00:13 |
| maxb | Debian/Ubuntu source packages wrap the upstream source and typically use the "make install" step to install files *into the binary package they are building* | 00:13 |
| maxb | Debian/Ubuntu binary packages go nowhere near "make install" in their installation through dpkg / apt | 00:14 |
| bitplane | hmm okay | 00:14 |
| bitplane | so packages generally contain binaries for the platform, rather than instructions on how to build them? | 00:14 |
| bitplane | which is what pbuilder does? | 00:15 |
| maxb | Well, be careful what you mean when you say "packages". There are source packages, which are the recipes for building binary packages. | 00:16 |
| maxb | And there are upstream source tarballs which could concievably be termed "packages" by upstreams | 00:17 |
| bitplane | ah okay, by package i mean whatever is downloaded (deb files?) when I type "apt-get install x" | 00:17 |
| directhex | a source package, typically, contains a "make install" call at one point where the prefix is not /usr or somesuch, but a temporary folder for the build process. these binaries are then copied into a deb archive, and when the deb is installed, they go into /usr | 00:18 |
| directhex | (very very potted summary) | 00:18 |
| bitplane | fantastic, that makes sense | 00:18 |
| bitplane | thanks | 00:18 |

| artfwo | hello! I wonder, are new packages still accepted to karmic through the revu? | 03:50 |
| vorian | for a short while longer artfwo | 03:54 |
| vorian | you have until August 27th | 03:55 |
| artfwo | well, then I'd like to request a review for http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/scantailor - a Qt-based interactive post-processing tool for scanned books | 03:55 |
| vorian | hrm | 03:55 |
| vorian | the Qt part sound promising | 03:55 |
| artfwo | it has already been advocated earlier, but rejected from the archive | 03:56 |
| vorian | what was the reason? | 03:56 |
| artfwo | there was a CC-licensed icon packed into a GPL binary | 03:57 |
| vorian | yikes | 03:57 |
| artfwo | I have replaced the icon, and this change have been accepted upstream as well | 03:57 |
| dtchen | good work | 03:58 |
| vorian | that is really worth a look tonight :) | 03:58 |
| vorian | i'll see if i can get another motu to check it out as well | 03:58 |
| artfwo | I shall remain online then, in case something needs a quick fix | 03:59 |
| vorian | libqt-dev is at 4.5.1 right? | 04:01 |
| micahg | !info libqt-deb karmic | vorian | 04:01 |
| ubottu | vorian: Package libqt-deb does not exist in karmic | 04:01 |
| artfwo | it's 4.5.2 now | 04:01 |
| vorian | lex has been busy i see | 04:03 |
| vorian | grr | 04:04 |
| vorian | liboost-test | 04:05 |
| artfwo | yep, the package works with any libboost >= 1.35 | 04:05 |
| artfwo | that's why I have put a dependency on the default version | 04:05 |
| vorian | it would be great if libboost1.38 had the test binary | 04:06 |
| artfwo | it does | 04:06 |
| artfwo | there is libboost-test1.38-dev | 04:06 |
| vorian | ah, so it does | 04:07 |
| vorian | artfwo: will it build with 1.38? | 04:07 |
| artfwo | yes, I have built a binary yesterday in my PPA | 04:08 |
| vorian | mind changing that in the control then? | 04:08 |
| artfwo | I don't mind, but what the purpose of having a "default" boost metapackage then? | 04:09 |
| artfwo | java package ought to build-depend on default-jdk, why boost cannot be the default? | 04:09 |
| vorian | most all KDE packages migrated away from the "default" boost during the last cycle | 04:10 |
| vorian | besides, 1.38 is in main | 04:10 |
| artfwo | okay, will do just now | 04:10 |
| vorian | everything else looks perfecto | 04:12 |
| artfwo | grr, I'm having the "425 Security: Bad IP connecting." error with REVU again | 04:12 |
| vorian | noooo | 04:13 |
| artfwo | I guess it's a problem with my ISP | 04:14 |
| artfwo | vorian, there | 04:21 |
| artfwo | uploaded with libboost-test1.38-dev | 04:21 |
| vorian | thanks artfwo | 04:32 |
| vorian | artfwo: ack'd | 04:34 |
| artfwo | vorian, thanks! | 04:34 |

| tseng | Hi folk, I am currently worknig on bug #408825 | 13:28 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 408825 in python-django "security update micro-release" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/408825 | 13:28 |
| tseng | Marc made some comments about my previous patch | 13:28 |
| tseng | I understand the first 2 comments made about version and changelog formats | 13:29 |
| tseng | but I am lost with the patch tagging | 13:29 |
| tseng | I have tried reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems and got more lost | 13:29 |
| geser | I guess he meant https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PatchTaggingGuidelines | 13:32 |
| tseng | so do I just add a bunch of text manually to the finnished patch or is there an automated way? | 13:34 |
| geser | which patch system does this package use? | 13:36 |
| tseng | cdbs i think | 13:36 |
| tseng | when i type what-patch i get cdbs | 13:37 |
| tseng | though i have no idea how to use cdbs | 13:37 |
| azeem | tseng: cdbs patches are usually just diffs; so adding a comment on the top according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PatchTaggingGuidelines should be fine I guess | 13:39 |
| tseng | so - just want to get the order right here: | 13:40 |
| tseng | I applied the upstream patch | 13:40 |
| tseng | directly to the code in the tree, | 13:40 |
| geser | no, place the upstream patch in debian/patches | 13:41 |
| tseng | updated the changelog and debian/controle file | 13:41 |
| tseng | aahh | 13:41 |
| tseng | will try again | 13:41 |
| geser | (check that it applies: patch --dry-run < debian/patches/yourpatch) | 13:41 |
| mdeslaur | tseng: I use the cdbs-edit-patch tool | 13:41 |
| mdeslaur | tseng: you enter the tree, do something like "cdbs-edit-patch 05_security_xxx.diff, apply the patch, and type "exit" | 13:43 |
| mdeslaur | the patch should get automatically added to debian/patches | 13:43 |
| mdeslaur | and then, you edit debian/patches in a text editor and add the stuff described in the wiki to the top of the patch | 13:43 |
| tseng | thanks | 13:43 |

| mrooney | am I missing something? | 18:21 |
| pochu | err, it is | 18:21 |
| mrooney | hm do you understand why? | 18:21 |
| pochu | because the upstream version in 1.9.0-7 is 1.9.0 and 7 is the debian revision | 18:21 |
| pochu | and in 1.9.0-6-0ubuntu1, the upstream version is 1.9.0-6 and the debian revision is 0ubuntu1 | 18:22 |
| mrooney | oh hm | 18:22 |
| pochu | and 1.9.0-6 is greater than 1.9.0 | 18:22 |
| mrooney | I see | 18:22 |
| mrooney | so I named that PPA version incorrectly? | 18:22 |
