=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
blizzkidwhat's the naming convention for different Distributions? I mean I have cwibber-0.1 for karmic, should I use cwibber-0.1-jaunty or another form?00:52
lifelessif the package is the same just copy the source to the other ppa and it will build00:53
blizzkidlifeless: the package is the same, but in debian/changelog I had karmic, so it only built for karmic00:54
wgrantlifeless: That doesn't work if you want multiple series in the one PPA...00:55
wgrantblizzkid: I normally use X.Y.Z-0ppa1 for karmic, X.Y.Z-0ppa1~jaunty1, etc.00:55
lifelesswgrant: oh00:55
lifelessso when is the multitarget coming active00:55
wgrantIt's difficult.00:56
wgrantThe semantics of it are very unclear.00:56
blizzkidwgrant: ok I'll try that approach, but will my source.list lines then still be "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mcielen/ppa/ubuntu karmic main" or will they autmotically change?00:57
lifelessugh, 90% of http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30994534/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-i386.subunit_0.0.2%7Ebzr78-0ubuntu3_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz is 'reading database'00:57
wgrantlifeless: Yes. karmic's dpkg sucks like that.00:58
wgrantblizzkid: What do you mean? If you want karmic, that's right.00:58
* wgrant thwacks pkg-create-dbgsym a few times.00:58
blizzkidwgrant: when you look at my ppa https://edge.launchpad.net/~mcielen/+archive/ppa it gives you the line I gave, but now when I upload jaunty and intrepid to that ppa, will it change those lines?00:59
lifelesswgrant: have you run into '/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/build/buildd/subunit-0.0.2~bzr78/debian/tmp/usr/bin/subunit2gtk' with `filters/subunit2gtk'00:59
lifeless'00:59
wgrantblizzkid: It will just add extra options to select jaunty or intrepid.01:00
wgrantblizzkid: The karmic one will not chnage.01:00
wgrantlifeless: I haven't, but I can guess what it means.01:00
blizzkidhmmz, I'll check what it does01:01
wgrantblizzkid: eg. look at https://launchpad.net/~wgrant/+archive/ppa01:01
lifelesswgrant: I can guess too, but AFAICT it means 'dh7 is borked', so far.01:02
wgrantlifeless: Sounds more like your .install file is contradicting itself.01:02
blizzkidI see you have "select sources.list entries", so I guess these get created?01:02
wgrantblizzkid: Right. There's an option for any series that's active in the PPA.01:03
lifelesswgrant:01:03
lifeless:!ls debian/*install01:03
lifelessdebian/python-subunit.install  debian/subunit.install01:03
lifeless:!cat debian/*install01:03
lifelessusr/lib/python*01:03
lifelessusr/bin01:03
lifelesswgrant: e.g., 'no'.01:03
blizzkidhmmz, I must still be doing something wrong01:03
wgrantblizzkid: Why?01:04
wgrantlifeless: Intriguing. I've not used dh7 much.01:04
wgrantYay, PPA debug symbol extraction working.01:04
blizzkidwgrant: I created 3 folders now, cwibber-0.1 cwibber-0.1~intrepid and cwibber-0.1~jaunty01:04
blizzkidcontent is the same01:04
blizzkidbut when I dpkg-buildpackage in jaunty and then in intrepid the second overwrites the first01:05
wgrantblizzkid: The version is controlled by the changelog, not the directory name.01:05
blizzkidwgrant: so instead of cwibber (0.1-1) it should read cwibber (0.1-1~jaunty) ?01:06
wgrantblizzkid: Except that the '-1' bit there is a lie, yes.01:07
lifelesswgrant: upstream breakage01:07
wgrantlifeless: Aren't *you* upstream?01:07
lifelessyes01:07
lifelessI'm allowed to break things too :P01:08
blizzkidwgrant: what do you mean with a lie? should I remove that -1?01:08
wgrantblizzkid: It's not in Debian, so it should be -0. Some people use -0ubuntu1~ppa1, or -0ubuntu1~username1, or -0username1, or -0ppa1, or...01:08
blizzkidoh, I see01:08
blizzkidand can I re-upload my karmic version with just that change? Or do I have to delete my packages first?01:09
wgrantblizzkid: Now, that is awkward. Because you've used 0.1-1, you can never upload anything less than that to karmic.01:10
lifelessblizzkid: do you mean 'karmic official' or 'karmic in my ppa'01:10
lifelesswgrant: question all assumptions.01:10
blizzkidppa01:11
wgrantlifeless: Indeed.01:11
blizzkidI requested deletion01:12
lifelesswgrant: in the fuckage here.01:12
lifelessit was bzr (again, I'm upstream :P) doing a silent bad merg.e01:12
lifelessso it got duplicated lines01:12
wgrantlifeless: Aha. Lovely.01:13
lifelesssubunit2gtk was being installed twice01:13
wgrantblizzkid: That won't help.01:13
blizzkidwgrant: why not?01:13
wgrantblizzkid: Because the version will be remembered.01:13
lifelesswhen delete doesn't mean delete01:13
wgrantIt's delete in an archive context. It deletes it from the on-disk archive.01:14
blizzkidhmmz01:15
blizzkidwgrant: cwibber 0.1-0ppa1 (Accepted) so it worked (that's the changed one for karmic)01:16
wgrantblizzkid: That can't always be relied upon to work.01:19
wgrantBut it looks like it has this time.01:19
lifeless\o/ success01:19
blizzkidgood enough for me for now ;)01:19
blizzkidyay, there all there now01:21
blizzkidif you guys want to try it out and comment, be my guest :)01:22
lifelessI actually meant my package :P01:22
lifelesswgrant: so you're working on ppas01:27
wgrantlifeless: I am.01:27
lifelesswgrant: are you planning to tackle the 'web page says published, apt-get update says fail' skew?01:27
wgrantlifeless: There shouldn't be more than a few seconds of that (except in primary/partner)01:28
lifelesswgrant: just had 5 minutes01:28
wgrantlifeless: Or do you mean source publishing status vs. binary publishing status?01:28
wgrantBinary status is the far right column.01:28
lifelessSo the web page can claim that [say] amd64 is published01:28
lifelessbut apt-get doesn't see it01:28
wgrantHow does it say that it's published?01:29
lifelessexpand the table, list of builds with green ticks01:29
lifelessand ones that aren't published it adds '- not published' [or something like that]01:29
lifelessit follows that those with green ticks and without the warning are published and downloadable01:29
wgrantlifeless: Right. So this appears with a green tick but without the '- not yet published' warning?01:29
wgrantThat seems odd.01:29
wgrantThey should be, within seconds of that being set.01:30
blizzkidanyone has any suggestions for a better name than cwibber btw?01:30
lifelesscharles wanted indigo bracers but expectation rejected?01:31
wgrantPlausible.01:32
wgrantI do wish that pkg-create-dbgsym would avoid failing in obscure ways, unrelated to what I'm doing to it.01:41
lifelessyou're getting auto debug debs for ppas01:42
wgrantYes.01:42
wgrantAnd all my changes work.01:42
wgrantBut it fails for other reasons.01:42
wgrantIt did in my previous Soyuz setup too, but started working after a while.01:43
lifelessYak Shave.01:43
blizzkidanyway, I'm off to bed01:43
wgrantHrmph. It the umask being set to 077, which I traced back to twisted, and indeed overriding it in twisted works. But why, then, does this not happen on the real buildds? Hmmmmm.02:45
lifelessroot?02:50
wgrantlifeless: What do you mean?02:51
lifelessis there a difference in the account running the code on the real buildds02:51
wgrantAh, right. I don't know, but I think they should be set up similarly (the package does all that).02:52
wgrant(the 'buildd' user runs the daemon, which then sudos to do stuff)02:52

wgrantlifeless: Not bad.04:08
lifelessby which you mean bloody brilliant.04:09

wgrantOnly if it works for buildbot too.04:09
wgrantWow, the chromium-daily PPA is rather massive.04:12
lifelesshttp://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/61004:13
wgrantOK, bloody brilliant, then!04:14
lifelessits not implemented yet; but they are aware of it, and its a matter of deciding what you want the UI to look like rather than anything else04:16
lifelessand pushed04:21
wgrantlifeless: I'm amused that PQM isn't self-hosting.04:23
lifelesswgrant: its a PITA04:25
lifelessI've taken some steps towards that yesterday and today with the improvements to its dependency chain04:26
lifelessthe problem is that it wasn't TDD'd up, the core is still only integration tested, and not comprehensively at that.04:26

kamalnandanhttps://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware06:18
kamalnandanwhats the meaning of "Step 1: Copy the first line from the apt sources.list entries section of the PPA overview page. For example:"06:18
kamalnandaninfact..i am new to lanchpad as well as packaging..06:19
kamalnandanand i have just registered my openPGP keys with launchpad..06:19
wgrantkamalnandan: I answered precisely this question when you asked a week ago. Do you need more explanation?06:19
wgrantkamalnandan: You might have better luck looking at the instructions on the page for the PPA you want to install from.06:21
kamalnandanwgrant: thanks for response..infact..i had got stuck with the key creation..the earlier one was lost somewhere..so i created again and registered today..ok..let me check the last week's log(infact i work on this project only on weekends, so tend to forget...:-)..sorry for that)06:21
wgrant< wgrant> kamalnandan: The two 'deb' and 'deb-src' lines in a box on a page like https://edge.launchpad.net/~wgrant/+archive/ppa06:22
kamalnandanwgrant: thanks for this..i will just go thru this..and probably will ask more questions..:-)06:24
wgrantkamalnandan: Sure.06:24
kamalnandanwgrant: well...but i havnt uploaded any package yet..i do have an example (hello world) package on my local machine...do i need to upload that first? if yes...do i need to go thru the further pages of the launchpad packaging tutorial?(https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware)06:29
kamalnandanor lets say..why not i should try to install your experimantal package that is lying in your PPA??06:30
kamalnandanwgrant: does it sound good?06:31
kamalnandanjust for learning and experimental purposes?06:32
kamalnandanjust for learning and experimental purposes..06:32
spivkamalnandan: well, it does seem a bit hard to follow an "Install Software" tutorial without some software to install.06:34
spivSo sure, if you want to learn/practice doing that, I'd find some software to install.06:35
kamalnandanspiv: thanks for that...I will appreciate that ...i am in learning phase and i want to install some example package and learn..06:37
kamalnandanwhile adding the experimental package from Wgrant's page i get the following error:06:47
kamalnandan"The following keys couldn't be verified because the public key is not available<some signature>"06:49
wgrantkamalnandan: Exactly which PPA were you attempting to use, and how were you trying to add it?06:49
kamalnandanwgrant: the experimental PPA on your page(https://edge.launchpad.net/~wgrant/+archive/experimental)..and i followed the same procedure as mentioned on this page(https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware)06:51
wgrantkamalnandan: I might remind you to read the description of that PPA.06:52
wgrantAnd try the '(Read about installing)' installing link on my PPA page, rather than the one on the help wiki.06:52
kamalnandanwgrant: yes..thats what I am going thru...though i dont see any other description on your PPA page apart from the comment ("This site is running pre-release code. <a href="https://edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+filebug">Please report all bugs.</a>")06:55
wgrant"Dangerous stuff that you probably really, really don't want in your sources.list."06:56
wgrantAt the top.06:56
kamalnandanwgrant: Oops...i had just moved away from that page and thats why i want able to see that description..:-(..06:59
kamalnandanhowever, can you plz direct me to some simple package which i can install and see how it works..07:00
wgrantkamalnandan: There's some stuff in https://edge.launchpad.net/~wgrant/+archive/ppa that isn't very likely to blow up in your face.07:01
kamalnandanwgrant: thanks..i will try this one..:-)07:02
kamalnandanneed to go somewhere right now..have been able to do "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys "07:12
kamalnandanand also "sudo apt-get update"07:12
kamalnandanwill work further ahead in the evening..07:12

realbadapplehey whats up with the server timing out constantly?07:32
wgrantrealbadapple: Which server? bazaar.launchpad.net?07:33
realbadapplelaunchpad in general07:34
realbadappleI just signed up and it keeps timing out07:34
wgrantAny particular URLs?07:34
realbadappleI was filling a bug report for gnome-do07:34
realbadappleand confirming my user name and pass word for registration07:35
wgrantAh. That can be a bit of a problem at the moment for some projects with lots of bugs. To work around that immediately, use a shorter summary to start with. You can correct it on the second page.07:35
wgrantThat confirmation one I haven't heard of before.07:35
realbadapplepretty much any link on launchpad times out07:36
* wgrant tries.07:36
realbadappledoes not seem to be project specific07:36
realbadapplejust thought I'd let you guys know so it can be look into and fixed07:37
wgrantrealbadapple: What kind of error page was it?07:37
realbadappleI know you guys are doing some beta testing right now07:37
wgrant"Please try again", or "Timeout error" with an OOPS number?07:37
wgrantA.07:38
wgrant+h07:38
wgrantIndeed, there is a problem with one of the servers.07:38
realbadapplethe page that I get reads 'Sorry, there was a problem connecting to launchpad server. \n try reloading this page in a minute or two. if the problem persists ... ' it says to tell you guys here07:39
wgrantYep, that basically means that a server has become angry and run away.07:39
realbadappleoh I just notice that you did find out that one of the servers is disgruntled07:40
realbadapplehey do you guys support svn or cvs or just bazaar?07:41
wgrantOnly bzr natively, but svn, cvs and git can be imported.07:42
realbadappleya thats what I thought07:43
realbadappledo you now of any Eclipse plugins for bazaar support?07:45

Ddordahello. i want to upload my .deb to PPA, is it possible or i must upload the source code?09:51
wgrantDdorda: You must upload a source package (.dsc). While that may technically just contain binaries that are put into the .deb at build-time, that would likely be in violation of the PPA Terms of Use.09:53
wgrantDdorda: Have you read https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA and associated pages?09:55
Ddordaindeed09:56
wgrantDdorda: Any particular reason you want to upload a binary package directly?09:57
Ddordai thought "source" meant to the source code of the project. the problem is that i have setting in the deb, so it will ask for some packages to be installed09:58
Ddordai guess the .dsc has it too, right?09:58

wgrantDdorda: Everything that you can do in a binary package is possible to do in a source package.09:59
