savvas0Hello! I'm trying to make a debian package for elektra <www.libelektra.org>, but I'm stuck with a libxml problem - I think that the .xsl files required are succefully detected, but probably has something to do with the headers of xml: buildlog http://paste.ubuntu.com/262218/ - kdbtools.c http://paste.ubuntu.com/262217/00:22
savvas0I would appreciate some guidance :)00:22
savvas0here are the debian/rules and control I'm currently testing: http://paste.ubuntu.com/262221/ - http://paste.ubuntu.com/262222/00:24
c_kornis there a tool which only updates specified files with a patch ?00:47
Ampelbeinc_korn: i don't know, but I think you could use filterdiff < file.diff | patch ?00:50
Ampelbeinc_korn: with filterdiff -i file100:50
c_kornAmpelbein: thanks00:51

slicerapt-rdepends will show reverse deps for all packages, not just the ones I have installed locally?02:21

loic-mI've check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek and the .pdf brochure, but none of them mention #ubuntu-classroom X007:15
loic-mShould I edit the wiki page (provided it's indeed going to be #ubuntu-classroom)?07:15
dholbachloic-m: it's on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/JoiningIn but I guess it'd be good to mention it on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek too07:17

dholbachhttp://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=openweek.&channels=ubuntu-classroom%2Cubuntu-classroom-chat might be a good link to put there07:18
