[00:00] <shakaran> N:    If the name of the man page differs from the binary by case, man may be

[00:01] <Ampelbein> shakaran: paste.ubuntu.com (in case you did not know this)
[00:01] <shakaran> ok, I will check now
[00:01] <porthose> shakaran, have you read debian policy 12.1?
[00:02] <shakaran> yeah, http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html but I dont know to fix this
[00:02] <shakaran> It says something like nroff
=== micahg1 is now known as micahg
[00:06] <shakaran> well, then what I need to fix?
[00:14] <shakaran> I need to gzip the file?
[00:14] <joaopinto> shakaran, you should learn how to use linux in general, and care about development/packaging later
[00:15] <shakaran> well, then when I release my app?
[00:15] <joaopinto> not understanding how file permissions work is a serious risk for packaging
[00:16] <shakaran> The problem is that I dont know every word in english, and all the documentation is in ENGLISH
[00:16] <joaopinto> shakaran, when you are ready to do it, or by filling a needs packaging request and wait for someone to package it
[00:16] <shakaran> the lintian message dont suggest anything for me over change the permission of file
[00:17] <shakaran> only "read the manual"...and "read again"...that dont help anything
[00:17] <joaopinto> shakaran,  I was refering to your previous question, about the image file permissions
[00:18] <shakaran> yeah, but your answer offend me
[00:18] <joaopinto> shakaran, you need to understand how to generate a manpage and how to install it as part of the packaging process
[00:19] <joaopinto> shakaran, I had no intention to offend you, is just that you should get basic linux skills before packaging, understandinf file permissions is fundamental
[00:19] <directhex> manpage generation isn't actually a common skill amongst ubuntu packagers, but it's mandatory for debian's NM process
[00:19] <shakaran> yeah, I read a lot of stuff, but it is only for C, myapp is write in python and many things changes (maybe dont with manpage)
[00:19] <shakaran> I use ubuntu since 5.04...believe I know how to change the file permissions, but I dont understand what says me the message
[00:20] <joaopinto> shakaran, ok please apologize I didn't understood it was an english interpretation problem :(
[00:21] <shakaran> yeah, my real problem is write/speak in english (I have a basic level)
[00:22] <shakaran> joaopinto: apology accepted
[00:23] <shakaran> well, then I have the XML file on /debian (I really want learn to package by myself). Then I change the manpage.xml.ex to myapp.xml
[00:23] <shakaran> And then I don gzip -9 myapp.xml?
[00:24] <shakaran> I need change the debian/rules file to copy to /usr/share/man/?
[00:24] <shakaran> or something more for remove the lintian warning?
[00:26] <joaopinto> shakaran, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/SupplementaryFiles#Man%20Pages
[00:27] <shakaran> thanks, I go to read it (Im back if I have problems)
[00:38] <showard> ampelbein: octave3.0 builds now, I think the bug you linked fixed it. Could you do a "give-back?" (is a give-back just a request to the build server to rebuild?)
[00:39] <Ampelbein> showard: yes. will do.
[00:41] <jtimberman> yeehaw. 'jaunty' packages built for all the dependencies for chef that weren't backported yet. yay sbuild.
[00:43] <jtimberman> man pages, fwiw, are much easier to digest when you have help2man (and a program properly outputs --help and --version).
[00:45] <shakaran> joaopinto: I read the manual. It says about use pod2man and include perl as dependency, but it only neccesary for build from .pod file to manpage. I use a .xml file for that, how to convert from .xml?

[20:53] <czambran> this seems like something that should be reported upstream

[20:53] <czambran> or should I just fix it on Ubuntu?
[21:01] <zooko> What is the "upstream" for mime-support -- is it Debian?
[21:02] <czambran> I believe so
[21:02] <czambran> the LP page for that package doesn't say

[21:19] <warner> travis? whoa!
[21:19] <warner> long time, man

[21:19] <Nafai> no kidding :)
[21:19] <zooko> Hey, shouldn't that be "effects" not "affects"?
[21:19] <zooko> Howdy Nafai.
[21:20] <zooko> I followed your medical crisis on twitter.
[21:20] <zooko> Strange how we live in science fiction.
[21:20] <czambran> that is pretty handy. It said "Debian doesn't use Launchpad as its bug tracker. Without a bug URL to watch, the Debian status will not update automatically"
[21:20] <czambran> and I clicked on the 'Add anyway' button

[21:21] <Nafai> zooko: Thanks.  It's much less of a crisis now that I'm stable after the transplant. :)
[21:22] <zooko> I'm glad you are okay.
[21:22] <czambran> zooko, should I do it manually or install the program reportbug which they suggest I use?
[21:24] <warner> czambran: if you've got a sid box, you should use reportbug.. it will include details like what version you've got installed
[21:24] <warner> I haven't tried to install/run reportbug on an unbuntu box
[21:25] <czambran> I could always run another virtual machine. I will do that then

[21:25] <zooko> ...

[21:39] <czambran> I think so
[21:39] <czambran> it didn't give any errors
[21:39] <czambran> I am waiting for the confirmation e-mail
[21:41] <czambran> zooko, should I post a patch on LP or just wait for warner to fix it upstream and then for Ubuntu to sync?
[21:42] <zooko> I don't think you should wait for warner to fix it.
[21:42] <zooko> Since he isn't the maintainer of it.
[21:42] <zooko> It doesn't hurt to post your patch on LP.
[21:43] <czambran> great

[21:45] <dundee> Nothing about this in python packaging guide...
