| moldy | help, launchpad is driving me crazy | 11:51 |
| lifeless | how so | 11:52 |
| moldy | how can i make my ppa *forget* packages i uploaded in the past? | 11:52 |
| lifeless | AFAIK you can't | 11:52 |
| lifeless | rationale: users may have downloaded them already, so the versions can't really be recycled. | 11:52 |
| moldy | i keep getting that "already exists, but uploaded version has different contents" stuff, it's driving me crazy | 11:52 |
| moldy | i don't understand how to avoid that | 11:53 |
| lifeless | don't regenerate upstream tarballs and don't reuse version numbers | 11:53 |
| moldy | i don't think i can avoid regenerating the upstream tarball | 11:54 |
| lifeless | oh? | 11:54 |
| moldy | i did bump the version number though | 11:54 |
| moldy | i am developing a python package. i use this tools to generate a deb out of my setuptools package: http://github.com/astraw/stdeb/tree/master | 11:55 |
| moldy | would bumping the upstream version everytime help? | 11:56 |
| wgrant | Yes, but that's wrong. | 11:57 |
| moldy | what do you suggest? | 11:58 |
| moldy | btw, why would it be wrong, if the actual sources changed? | 11:59 |
| lifeless | moldy: use pristine tar | 11:59 |
| lifeless | moldy: have the package be a normal package as opposed to a 'native' package | 12:00 |
| lifeless | moldy: and then the last 'release' of the package will have a constant tarball | 12:00 |
| wgrant | moldy: If the actual sources changed, then you should bump the version. | 12:00 |
| lifeless | update that when you do a release | 12:00 |
| moldy | i guess i started playing with the debian/ppa stuff a little too early | 12:01 |

| ahe | i'm trying to build my first package but the configure script can't be found during debuild and it seems that the source code isn't extracted or at least it's called in the wrong directory | 16:36 |
| ahe | could some explain to me how the upstream source code is extracted at all, please? | 16:36 |
| ahe | is this done in the rules file? | 16:37 |
| ahe | or does this happen implicitly? | 16:37 |
| geser | dpkg-source does it (once you have a debian source package) | 16:37 |
| geser | the steps are: tar xf the.orig.tar.gz, patch it with .diff.gz and make debian/rules executable | 16:38 |
| geser | after that the target from debian/rules can be used | 16:38 |
| ScottK | geser: I've got a FTBFS I'm fixing that I needed to add #include <cstdio> to. I added it in filename.h. In the relevant bug in Debian, they added it to the .cpp file. It builds with it in .h. Which is preferred? | 16:41 |
| quidnunc | Is there a way to use the command line to download source from a PPA? Something like pull-lp-source? | 16:44 |
| ScottK | quidnunc: You can use dget if you have the path to the .dsc file. | 16:45 |
| geser | ScottK: The .cpp file is probably better as the included functions are only known to the .cpp file and not all files which include the .h file | 16:48 |
| ScottK | geser: Thanks. | 16:48 |
| quidnunc | ScottK: Why doesn't dget work for the dsc here?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cedet/+bug/385002 | 16:50 |

| ScottK | quidnunc: Because that's a direct link to the launchpadlibrarian, not a regular package file like (PPAs redirect to the librarian). Use dgetlp for these. | 16:51 |
| quidnunc | Thanks ScottK | 16:52 |
| quidnunc | ScottK: Erm, dgetlp doesn't seem to work either (Failed to fetch <<diff.gz>> file, aborting) | 16:53 |
| ScottK | Not sure then. | 16:53 |
| ahe | geser: but shouldn't this also be done when i try to build the binary package with 'debuild'? | 16:53 |
| quidnunc | ScottK: Thanks anyway | 16:54 |
| ahe | when i execute it without parameters my rules file fails because it can't find the configure script that is there in the orig.tar.bz2 | 16:54 |
| geser | ahe: when you call debuild you should be inside your source package | 16:59 |
| geser | or do you have a tar inside a tar? | 16:59 |
| ahe | i have a directory with a subdirectory debian and the package files | 17:00 |
| ahe | in the level below there is the orig file | 17:01 |
| ahe | i call debuild form this "middle" directory | 17:01 |
| geser | and the orig file below your current dir contains the package files (further tar files)? | 17:02 |
| ahe | geser: yeah, i can build a source package there by calling 'debuild -S' and before my rules file did anything useful debuild ran and built source and (empty) binary packages in this directory | 17:04 |
| ahe | the "middle" directory is completely empty except for the debian subdir | 17:05 |
| ahe | shouldn't debuild extract the source to debian/tmp or and execute the rules file there? | 17:05 |
| ahe | ok i think i see my mistake now | 17:09 |
| geser | debuild is used to build a source and/or binary packages | 17:10 |

| andv | Ryan52, your versioning is *right*, but asac changed the way of versioning that package | 21:39 |
| Ryan52 | yes, because it was a upload for ffox35 | 21:39 |

| andv | funkyHat, use that command | 21:49 |
| andv | Ryan52, done? | 21:53 |
| Ryan52 | andv: done with what? | 21:53 |
| andv | Ryan52, setting me as assignee plus adding a comment 'waiting asac's comment about this' | 21:54 |
| micahg | andv, you might want to have him run sudo updatedb first | 21:54 |
| Ryan52 | andv: ah, yep. | 21:54 |
| funkyHat | Isn't sudo updatedb a bad idea? | 21:54 |
| micahg | it updates the locate database | 21:54 |
| funkyHat | Or is it clever enough not to scan private dirs? | 21:55 |
| sebner | funkyHat: you could also use the graphical search ^^ | 21:55 |
| funkyHat | I used find instead | 21:56 |
| micahg | that works, just a little slower | 21:56 |
| Ryan52 | andv: can I /msg you real quick? | 21:56 |
| andv | Ryan52, yes | 21:56 |
| funkyHat | ! | 21:58 |

| awalton | hey guys, having a headache trying to figure out something: | 22:09 |
| awalton | how do I conditionally install a file if we're on a x86 (but NOT 64-bit) system | 22:09 |
| awalton | I'm sure this should be easier than my brain is trying to make it | 22:09 |
| geser | what's the reason for it? | 22:10 |
| awalton | the library doesn't work on 64-bit OSes | 22:10 |
| awalton | (it's a win32 compat shim) | 22:10 |
| Laney | use the Architecture: field | 22:10 |
| andv | awalton, specify archs manually | 22:10 |
| andv | awalton, modify architecture field on debian/control | 22:10 |
| awalton | well that's the rub, we want it to build it on other archs, but we just don't want the shim to be installed | 22:10 |
| geser | is the package usefull without this file on 64-bit systems? | 22:10 |
| awalton | it still works to load native libraries | 22:10 |
| awalton | we just don't want the wine-like shim loader installed | 22:11 |
| geser | you could check for which are you are building and conditionally install the file or not | 22:11 |
| awalton | the library I'm working on (libbml) loads 'buzz machines', but they can either be built natively (if we have the source), or we can load the win32 dlls.. if we want to do the latter, we have to have a dll-shim, but it doesn't work unless we're on x86-32 | 22:12 |
| awalton | that's what I'm trying to do geser, but my brain's not working it out | 22:12 |
| Laney | $DEB_HOST_ARCH | 22:13 |
| awalton | is there a simple way to test in the rules file if we're on x86 but not amd64 from DEB_HOST_ARCH? | 22:13 |
| geser | awalton: see the manpage for dpkg-architecture, it contains also some examples which you can use in debian/rules as a starting point | 22:14 |
| awalton | lemme check that out | 22:14 |
| funkyHat | Ok, I have tested my brasero package and it seems to work fine, do I attach the .diff.gz or a different file? | 22:14 |
| funkyHat | *to the bug | 22:15 |
| funkyHat | Oh I use debdiff, right | 22:16 |
| geser | the .diff.gz for a new upstream version and a debdiff for a bug fix | 22:17 |
| funkyHat | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/420434 could someone have a look at this and check I've done it right? :) | 22:20 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 420434 in brasero "Replace wodim dependency with dvd+rw-tools" [Wishlist,New] | 22:20 |
| geser | funkyHat: the patch itself looks good | 22:31 |
| geser | you can subscribe the ubuntu-main-sponsors team to the bug to get it reviewed and eventually sponsored/uploaded | 22:32 |
| funkyHat | Ok, done that :), anything else I should do? | 22:33 |
| geser | wait :) | 22:34 |
| * jdong looks with a bit of worried paranoia at appbundles.org... | 22:40 | |
| TheMuso | ScottK: Ok will have a look later today. | 23:01 |
| quentusrex | Anyone know if it is possible to have the same package build for multiple releases of ubuntu? | 23:22 |
| Laney | yes this is very normal | 23:23 |
| quentusrex | I'd rather not have to maintain 3 different packages, one for 8.04, 8.10, and 9.04 | 23:23 |
| quentusrex | and the upcoming 9.10... | 23:23 |
| quentusrex | what's the best way to do this? | 23:23 |
| Laney | quentusrex: PPA? | 23:31 |
| quentusrex | Laney: is there a way to do that in the PPA? I haven't been able to find anything describing that... | 23:46 |
| quentusrex | only ways to specify a single release for the package... | 23:46 |
| Laney | quentusrex: I think you're supposed to upload to the oldest release you support and then copy the source | 23:47 |
| quentusrex | hmm... | 23:49 |
| quentusrex | what do you mean by copy the source? | 23:49 |
| quentusrex | make an exact copy, and only change the changelog to state the newer release? | 23:49 |
| nicklas_ | yo | 23:50 |
| Laney | no, it's an option in the PPA interface | 23:53 |
| Laney | to copy packages to another release | 23:53 |
| funkyHat | Where can I find nice easy bugs to fix, for someone that has just started these things? :) | 23:54 |
| funkyHat | I am looking at Harvest new incoming, but most are not ones I can do anything with, and the harvest sourcepackage list is big and scary looking | 23:55 |
