wgrantIt doesn't make sense, and it erases informative history of that branch.06:58

lifelessunless you need the conversation kept06:58
lifeless?06:58
wgrantI find history deletion reprehensible.06:59
lifelessso, before you put a lot of effort in, I've already suggested a bug/patch to let you decline yourself.07:00
lifelessbut that said, I think deleting things is often fine and appropriate. Its not at all the same thing as trying to remove historical records.07:00

apparleguys I want to build a software which is not mine  using https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA plz help08:50
noodles775apparle: which software do you want to build?08:52
apparlenoodles775: http://ipmsg.org/index.html.en the GNOME2 version under UNIX08:53
=== henninge-bbl is now known as henninge
noodles775apparle: have you got a debian source package to build? If not, then I'd suggest the place to start is here: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/BuildingASourcePackage08:57
apparlenoodles775: what do you mean by debian source package.....................I only want the DEB for that software.........you only tell what to do08:58
noodles775apparle: I'm not sure I'm understanding what you want to do? If you want to build the software for debian/Ubuntu and provide it via a PPA, then I think the link I gave you is the place to start. Otherwise, I've misunderstood exactly what you want to do.08:59
apparlenoodles775: I just want a deb for that software.........I don't want to distribute it.......I don't know how to build a deb..and I don't have good enough connection to download the dev libraries09:07
wgrantapparle: To produce a .deb, you need to know how to construct a Debian source package and build it.09:08
wgrantAnd that's not a trivial task.09:08
apparlewgrant: can you make me the DEB file..............I only want one for that software09:08
wgrantNot really, no.09:09
apparlecan anyone make me a 32bit deb package09:10
noodles775apparle: OK, so you're looking for someone to provide that software. It looks quite out of date (the unix versions), I've just searched PPAs on Launchpad, and ipmsg doesn't appear in any.09:10
noodles775apparle: but is this the same application? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82345109:11
noodles775If so, it should already be part of ubuntu (see the second post).09:11
apparlenoodles775:yes its the same,but xipmsg as in the repositories is the X version without any features. The GNOME2 version has all the features.........can anyone add it to the uubntu repo09:13
noodles775apparle: I'd suggest perhaps trying to contact the maintainer of xipmsg. This really isn't the place to ask for people to package things for you.09:15
apparleAlso the Gnome2 version is not that old and works fine I had compiled it earlier.........but now I don't have good net to download all the dev packages to comiple it09:15
apparleok09:15
apparleI will check with maintainer09:16
noodles775Great.09:16
apparlebut how to contact him.........09:16
noodles775apparle: if you right-click on the package in synaptic, you can view the maintainer's email.09:17
apparlenoodles775: I don't have synaptic I use kubuntu09:18
apparleand I don't see it in Kpackagekit09:19
noodles775apparle: After reading up, it's probably best *not* to contact the original maintainer, as noted here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/karmic/xipmsg09:26

sladenhello people.  One of my packages in Universe uses a non-standard translations format.  Being Win32 originated, it uses an [ini] style syntax with  [Component]  and then  mystring = Ooops, the world went wrong   (newline terminated)10:55
sladen; comments   should be ignored, but preserved10:56
sladenshould I bother writing an importer/exporter for LP;  or to write a .po translator, or do something else, or not bother?10:57
intellectronicasladen: it's your lucky day. danilos is the best person to ask that question10:59
danilossladen, intellectronica: I just connected here, I'd need to see the question again :)11:00
sladensadly it's not on the end of http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/08/17/%23launchpad.txt  yet11:00
intellectronica(10:55:45) sladen: hello people.  One of my packages in Universe uses a non-standard translations format.  Being Win32 originated, it uses an [ini] style syntax with  [Component]  and then  mystring = Ooops, the world went wrong   (newline terminated)11:03
intellectronica(10:56:08) sladen: ; comments   should be ignored, but preserved11:03
intellectronica(10:56:48) sladen: should I bother writing an importer/exporter for LP;  or to write a .po translator, or do something else, or not bother?11:03
danilossladen: basically, it'd be fine to write an importer for Launchpad, but if it's not a format that's widely used in software, I wouldn't like to integrate it (i.e. more code to maintain for little benefits); writing a PO converter would probably work best, and you might even be able to use intltool-extract to parse those files if they are anything like .desktop files11:03
danilosintellectronica: sladen just pasted it for me privately, thanks11:03
intellectronicacool11:04
sladendanilos: when upstream add/remove a string, they paste it into all of the language config files (untranslated)11:05
danilossladen: right, sounds like an ugly approach for them, but not our problem :) anyway, it should be simple to produce PO files out of those files, and we wouldn't have to worry about another set of bugs an importer would introduce (encodings, formatting, different formats around, etc)11:06
sladendanilos: (there isn't a "default"  and then an overlay).  So I guess I need to stuck the "original" back from en-US.cfg pre-pend that as msgid11:07
sladenI'll have a look at (extending) the Desktop file importer11:07
danilossladen: yeah, in general though, you'd only need to worry about English base one after you've done an initial import of translations11:08
danilossladen: note that there's no .desktop importer in Launchpad, we basically only support PO files and a limited subset of XPI files11:08
sladendanilos: and then (not having done this before) when/_how_ should I push the updates to launchpad?  Is it something I do manually, or can I include a script that launchpad runs to extract them (like dh_strip) on upload11:08
Davieysladen: you know LP can automagically import .pot/.po files from bzr and recommit changes made through rosetta?11:10
sladendanilos: if it's not "automatic", it something I probably need to run past upstream first before it gets into a giant tizz about who has the best (FSVO best) when translations overlap11:10
DavieyThey automagic level can vary by choice,to not recommit changes back - but allow downloading of a tarball for manual fun.11:11
sladenDaviey: okay, so I have a separate bzr branch with just tarballs and I thunk between that and the git for the package with some tailor fun11:12
sladens/just tarballs/just .po mashups/11:12
Davieysladen: yeah, a simple example of having a seperate translations branch cab be seen with byobu.. I use development focus trunk, for a project that is native to ubuntu11:14
Davieytrying to get translators is another issue :)11:16
sladenDaviey: I'm not really bothered whether they come;  there's 19 translations from upstream already, each with > 500 strings11:17
Davieysladen: that is good, one thing i should say - there is currently a bug that LP won't daily commit translations to a branch owned by a team.. so if that is your hope, you need to own it yourself - set up the autocommit, then restore ownership to the team.11:23
dpmDaviey: on the question of getting translators, the first thing is letting them know about your app and that it is translatable. Other than blogging about it, you can also announce your app on the launchpad-translators list (or ubuntu-translators if the project is Ubuntu-specific).11:26
Davieydpm: good thinking.. i did blog it, and that seemed to bring in some help.. but the ubuntu-translators might be a good idea.  As the project isn't yet in Ubuntu archives, it's not showing in general pool, making it somewhat hidden :(11:28
Davieyi'll try the ML, thanks11:29

blackmoonhi i i've make a deb package with a firmware (redistribution permitted but no source code available) for a usb wireless card, can i upload it on my ppa?14:44
noodles775blackmoon: no, it's not possible to upload binaries without source.14:45
noodles775In the not too distant future it will be possible to upload binaries for unsupported architecture where the source is already present, but that won't help you :/14:46
bigjoolsnoodles775: I think he's asking if he can upload restricted software, in effect14:49
gesernoodles775: as I understood blackmoon, he made a deb for a firmware and asks if he can upload the source package for it to PPA although he doesn't have the source for the firmware (but permission to redistribute it)14:49
blackmoonnoodles775: so, i can use the kernel driver (with source code) but not the binary firmware, right? but without the firmware the wireless card doesn't work...14:49
bigjoolsI'm not entirely sure what our policy is on that, mrevell?14:49
noodles775Ah ok.14:50

nh2I need some help creating PPA builds: my software compiles extra features for pulseaudio if libpulse-dev is installed (as it is locally), but it isn't installed in the LP build per default. How can I enable it?14:50
bigjoolsnh2: you need to add a build-dependency to your package14:51
gesernh2: add it to Build-Depends in your debian/control14:51
bigjoolsand it will get installed during the build14:51

noodles775Nice one, thanks james_w !14:52
blackmoonthanks james_w14:53
mrevellbigjools, blackmoon: If you're not providing the source code, you can't use the PPA to store/directly distribute the binary. The alternative is to use your PPA to distribute a script that fetches and installs a binary from elsewhere14:53
bigjoolsmrevell: see the above question, looks like it's ok14:54
bigjoolsit's just firmware14:54
blackmooni'm a little bit confused...15:02
blackmoonhttps://help.launchpad.net/PPATermsofUse  ref. to "DFSG Compliant" say that the source code must be included...15:04
