| c_korn | Darxus: do you have a java jdk installed ? | 00:16 |
| bdrung | Darxus: you could go to #debian-java and ask blackxored | 00:18 |
| dhillon-v10 | hi andv | 00:19 |
| Darxus | Huh. Maybe not. Thanks. | 00:19 |
| Darxus | Nope, I do have the jdk installed. | 00:20 |
| Darxus | However, I had not done "apt-get build-deps azureus" :/ | 00:36 |
| Darxus | Er, build-dep. | 00:36 |
| Darxus | Uploaded my first debdiff and subscribed ubuntu-universe-sponsors! | 01:35 |
| c_korn | Darxus: what bug ? | 01:37 |
| Darxus | c_korn: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/428514 | 01:44 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 428514 in azureus "Azureus crashes both openjdk and sun java." [Undecided,New] | 01:44 |
| Darxus | It's a bug in both java implimentations, but my patch avoids the bug by using a command line option to skip JIT compiling of the problematic part. | 01:46 |
| c_korn | Darxus: does the current package in karmic have a patch system ? | 01:47 |
| c_korn | (run what-patch in the source tree) | 01:48 |
| Darxus | c_korn: Thanks, I was wondering how to tell - the relevant docs don't say. | 01:49 |
| c_korn | Darxus: oh, forget about it | 01:50 |
| Darxus | c_korn: ? | 01:50 |
| c_korn | I thought the wrapper was outside the debian directory | 01:50 |
| c_korn | so you do not need a patch anyway | 01:50 |
| c_korn | but your changelog file is wrong. | 01:51 |
| Darxus | :/ | 01:51 |
| Darxus | How? | 01:51 |
| c_korn | 1. explain what you change and why you did it (not only tell it fixes a bug) | 01:51 |
| Darxus | Ah. | 01:51 |
| Darxus | I was trying to mimic other changelog entries. | 01:52 |
| c_korn | 2. Use (LP: #428514) to indicare that the bug was closed | 01:52 |
| c_korn | the Closes statement is used by the debian BTS | 01:52 |
| Darxus | Just those two changes to the changelog? | 01:53 |
| c_korn | lintian may also complain that Darxus is not your full name (not sure about this one. it does at least complain if the maintainer is not a full name) | 01:54 |
| Darxus | I saw mention that lintian was running. | 01:54 |
| Darxus | With no error. | 01:54 |
| Darxus | That's an annoying requirement. | 01:55 |
| Darxus | -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,com/aelitis/net/udp/uc/impl/PRUDPPacketHandlerImpl\$5,runSupport | 01:56 |
| Darxus | How should I refer to that? Something other than "Commandline to prevent compliation of problematic thing." | 01:57 |
| c_korn | Darxus: why does the application crash without that line ? | 01:58 |
| Darxus | c_korn: It's a bug in the java implimentations. | 02:03 |
| Darxus | When they try to JIT compile that bit, they crash. | 02:04 |
| Darxus | It's not a bug in azureus. | 02:04 |
| Darxus | It's not azureus that crashes. It's java. | 02:04 |
| c_korn | Darxus: ok, I do not know how detailed the motus want to have the changelog entry. | 02:05 |
| c_korn | but it should at least mention that. | 02:05 |
| Darxus | Mention that it's a bug in java? | 02:07 |
| Darxus | What I want is a word to replace the word "thing". | 02:07 |
| Darxus | What is "com/aelitis/net/udp/uc/impl/PRUDPPacketHandlerImpl$5"? | 02:07 |
| c_korn | Workaround to prevent a crash caused by a bad java implementation. The workaround | 02:11 |
| c_korn | grr, pressed enter too early. | 02:11 |
| lifeless | so | 02:12 |
| lifeless | wearing a MOTU hat | 02:12 |
| lifeless | I'd want to see a bug report linked there | 02:12 |
| lifeless | much more useful than handwaving | 02:12 |
| lifeless | e.g. | 02:12 |
| lifeless | 'Workaround JIT crash in openJDK6 <https://openjdk.dev.java.net/bugs/12345>' | 02:12 |
| Darxus | Looks like the word I was looking for was "class". | 02:13 |
| c_korn | Darxus: the crash is not limited to openjdk6 but also occurs in suns implementation, does it ? | 02:14 |
| Darxus | lifeless: I submitted a bug report to sun, they didn't reply. I also submitted a bug against open jdk (which shares the problem), and that's linked to in the bug that I'm going to mention as "(LP: #428514)". | 02:14 |
| Darxus | Okay? | 02:14 |
| lifeless | openjdk is suns implementation :) | 02:14 |
| Darxus | c_korn: Yes. | 02:14 |
| Darxus | Um. | 02:14 |

| Darxus | It crashes the java in both packages openjdk-6-jre and sun-java6-jre. | 02:17 |
| lifeless | ok | 02:17 |
| lifeless | so bug 380378 claims that sun-java6-jre doesn't crash it? | 02:18 |
| lifeless | is that a stale comment or something? | 02:18 |

| lifeless | ok, so good work on the bug report in openjdk | 02:19 |
| lifeless | I think you may want a similar one on sun-java6-jre | 02:19 |
| lifeless | and they probably need to be forwarded upstream, but that is a separate problem | 02:19 |
| lifeless | [one I encourage you to tackle] | 02:19 |
| Darxus | lifeless: Does it actually say that (that sun-java6-jre doesn't crash it)? | 02:20 |
| Darxus | I think it says I how I tried switching to sun-java6-jre, but not that I ever confirmed it worked. Because it didn't. | 02:21 |

| Darxus | lifeless: Ah yes. I don't know. They both crashed on me. | 02:22 |
| ScottK | RoAkSoAx: Not yet. Sorry. | 02:22 |
| Darxus | lifeless: I did submit a bug directly to sun via the url included in the crash log. | 02:25 |
| Darxus | I'll add a bug against the sun-java6-jre package. | 02:25 |
| lifeless | Darxus: did you get a url for the sun bug? | 02:27 |
| lifeless | or was it some fire and forget thing ? | 02:27 |
| Darxus | lifeless: I got nothing from them :( | 02:28 |
| lifeless | the main point is to let someone else pick it up and run with it later | 02:28 |
| lifeless | so if there is no url then they have to find you and ask to figure out whats going on | 02:28 |
| Darxus | Yeah, well, I don't even have a way to follow up on it with Sun. | 02:29 |
| Darxus | Somebody in #bittorrent said you basically need a contract with Sun for that kind of support :/ | 02:29 |
| lifeless | what url did you file the ticket at ? | 02:34 |
| Darxus | lifeless: What ticket? | 02:35 |
| lifeless | the one at sun that you got no response for | 02:35 |

| Darxus | It's in all java crash logs. | 02:36 |
| Darxus | Huh, azureus does use quilt. | 02:36 |

| nicklas_ | if i have added a ppa repos from launchpad, is it possible to remove that and go back to the package versions you had before updating? | 02:50 |
| Darxus | nicklas_: Yes. Everything is possible. | 02:51 |
| lifeless | Darxus: ok; so is there perhaps a bug report in the azureus bugtracker? | 02:51 |
| Darxus | lifeless: Perhaps. | 02:52 |
| lifeless | or that the package on that you plan to forward upstream? | 02:52 |

| Darxus | nicklas_: I don't think this is an appropriate channel. | 02:52 |

| zooko | Good evening folks. (UTC-6) | 03:01 |
| Darxus | How do I add a package that a bug applies to on launchpad? | 03:03 |
| Darxus | Doh, found it. | 03:04 |
| Darxus | "There is no bug supervisor for Sun Java. This means that there is nobody upstream we can notify about this issue." hah | 03:06 |
| Darxus | Oh, hmm, I need an "also affects package" not "also affects project". | 03:13 |
| Darxus | Ah, the "also affects distribution" link works. | 03:14 |
| Darxus | So I added sun-java6 to the openjdk bug I created, attached the sun java crash log, and then decided that was totally the wrong thing to do :/ | 03:17 |

| fabrice_sp | 8I think) | 19:21 |
| quentusrex | oh, that kind of stuff will be fixed later... | 19:22 |
| quentusrex | I just need it to build... | 19:22 |
| quentusrex | This is why I'm still putting this in a development ppa... | 19:22 |
| fabrice_sp | quentusrex, about the conf file. Do you want to install it as an example or as a conf? | 19:23 |
| quentusrex | I'm changing it to be where it should be | 19:26 |
| quentusrex | in opt/ | 19:26 |
| fabrice_sp | hmmm, not sure opt is the right place | 19:29 |
| quentusrex | fabrice_sp: opt isn't the right place | 19:34 |
| quentusrex | but that is where the software expects it to be | 19:34 |
| quentusrex | so I need to put it there for now | 19:34 |
| stani | pochu, ScottK, ScottK-desktop: I uploaded the phatch 0.2 release and POX is now busy with it. I will be back in one and half hour | 19:35 |
| ScottK | pochu or stani: This will need an FFe approved. | 19:36 |
| fabrice_sp | quentusrex, so for the moment, use only .install files | 19:37 |
| stani | ScottK: I know | 19:38 |
| ScottK | stani: OK. Please ping me when the FFe is ready for review. | 19:38 |
| * POX gave phatch 0.2 branch a hard time, that should count as "+1" for FFe ;) | 19:42 | |
| sebner | geser: cdk successfully build and accepted \o/ thanks for you help :) | 19:43 |
| ScottK | POX: We'll get it in. Thanks for all your work on it. | 19:55 |
| POX | stani redirected me to nadia yesterday (sick of my bug reports probably ;) | 19:56 |
| === ripps_ is now known as ripps | ||
| LaserJock | any MOTU SRU about? | 20:40 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| * fabrice_sp just discovered that dbs is not a typo of cdbs. How many build systems are there ?! | 20:58 | |
| LaserJock | a few ;-) | 20:58 |
| fabrice_sp | :-) | 21:00 |
| === nxvl_ is now known as nxvl | ||
| LaserJock | does anybody know what the status of a bug should be if it's waiting on MOTU SRU to approve it? | 21:04 |
| Davedan | I have a server I want to package as .deb | 21:08 |
| Davedan | It has a folder with sub-folders containing library files and script | 21:09 |
| Davedan | it is all compiled so I only need to copy it to the files system | 21:09 |
| Davedan | I also understood that it is best practive to create a system user for this server | 21:09 |
| Davedan | I've been looking at db-helper but it seems it is more suitable for source packages | 21:10 |
| fabrice_sp | LaserJock, New | 21:10 |
| fabrice_sp | (if I understand correctly https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess) | 21:10 |
| fabrice_sp | Davedan, debhelper is a serie of helper functions to build binary packages. The building part is done using the app building system | 21:12 |
| fabrice_sp | so it should fit your needs | 21:12 |
| LaserJock | fabrice_sp: hmm, I guess I could try it even though this is for an SRU and not a freeze exception | 21:13 |
| fabrice_sp | LaserJock, arghhh: I must be tired: I read FFe :-/ | 21:13 |
| Davedan | fabrice_sp: what file do I need to edit to copy my server files to the file system? | 21:18 |
| Davedan | what is the correct place on the file system for the server library files? | 21:18 |
| fabrice_sp | Davedan, you can have a look at http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html | 21:20 |
| fabrice_sp | but by packaging, you won't copy it to your file system. You will copy it in a temporary place, that get 'packaged' in a deb file | 21:21 |
| Davedan | fabrice_sp: how does the deb file knows where to put my server files on the file system? | 21:22 |
| Davedan | and what file of the template files created by debhelper do I need to edit to create a system user that will run the server | 21:23 |
| fabrice_sp | Davedan, the deb file contains 2 gz file: one with controls files and the other with the packaged files. This second gz has the same directory structure as your 'sytem' | 21:24 |
| fabrice_sp | Davedan, for the user, I would say postinst after install to create it and postrm, to remove that user on removal | 21:24 |
| fabrice_sp | anyway, if you don't know how packaging works, it will be hard to package that 'complexe' app | 21:25 |
| Davedan | so if I want my server to be placed under /usr/local/myserver I should put it under temp_deb_folder/usr/local/myserver ? | 21:25 |
| fabrice_sp | Davedan, yes, except that packages never installs on /usr/local. They install in /usr directly | 21:26 |
| Davedan | my app is simple. I doesn't require compiling. just need to place a folder on the file system and create a user | 21:26 |
| Davedan | thanks. I'll try that | 21:27 |
| LaserJock | Davedan: you want to use the debian/install file to gett he files where you want them | 21:27 |
| fabrice_sp | Davedan, except that this folder is binary content. It should really be compiled in some way | 21:27 |
| LaserJock | Davedan: and debian/postinst and debian/prerm to add and remove the system user respectively | 21:28 |
| Davedan | LaserJock: what is debian/install? is it part of the files created by deb_helper? | 21:28 |
| LaserJock | Davedan: yep | 21:28 |
| LaserJock | Davedan: it tells debhelper what files go where | 21:28 |
| LaserJock | Davedan: but in the system context | 21:28 |
| Davedan | fabrice_sp: it's an erlang application that has a VM so it is self consistent | 21:29 |
| Davedan | LaserJock: so I don't need to touch the rules file? | 21:29 |
| LaserJock | so if you have file foo/bar and you want it in /usr/share/foo then you would put foo/bar usr/share/foo in debian/install | 21:29 |
| LaserJock | Davedan: you can if you want, but I like using debian/install better | 21:30 |
| Davedan | that's the part I was looking for | 21:30 |
| Davedan | LaserJock: what permissions will the foo/bar file get by default? who will be the owner? | 21:31 |
| LaserJock | root I believe for all files in a .deb | 21:31 |
| Davedan | do I need to set permissions for the new user just on the script that runs the server? | 21:31 |
| LaserJock | that would be my guess but I don't know for sure | 21:32 |
| Davedan | thank you two. that realy helps | 21:33 |
| fabrice_sp | Davedan, if you need more hellp, you can have a look at the packaging guide | 21:33 |
| fabrice_sp | !packaging | 21:33 |
| ubottu | The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 21:33 |
| Davedan | I read it but now I have some basis for reading it again and understanding more | 21:34 |
| fabrice_sp | :-) | 21:34 |
| zooko | Howdy folks. Yay Karmic! :-) | 21:38 |
| stani | ScottK: would it help FFE if I assign all fixed bugs in https://bugs.launchpad.net/phatch/+bugs to the phatch(ubuntu) package? | 21:38 |
| stani | ScottK: or does that create only more unnecessary work? | 21:39 |
| === mdomsch is now known as mdomsch_linuxcon | ||

| sebner | bdrung_: afaik yes | 22:04 |
| irvingpop | MOTU team. Just filed needs-packaging request 434883. I know it's crunch time for Karmic and my needs-packaging request is a bit late. | 22:13 |
| irvingpop | I'd like to help out and make the package, for a PPA or something. Any pointers to where I can get started? | 22:14 |
| Darxus | irvingpop: I don't think it's possible to get a new package in karmic at this point. | 22:14 |
| Darxus | But, there's... | 22:14 |
| Darxus | irvingpop: Start here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess | 22:15 |
| irvingpop | Yeah, I know. The thing doesn't even compile on Karmic, I really need to get it running on Jaunty | 22:15 |
| irvingpop | so I was thinking I need to make a PPA. I was told this channel would be the best place for me to get some help | 22:15 |
| Darxus | Other than that, the MOTU page seems to have lots of good pointers. | 22:15 |
| Darxus | irvingpop: Well, what help do you need? Building a package? Uploading it to a ppa? | 22:16 |
| irvingpop | Yeah. I've been packaging for other OSes for a long time, but I've never created a .deb package. This tool (Flashcam) has no packaging infrastructure at all right now | 22:17 |
| Darxus | irvingpop: Have you checked out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU ? | 22:17 |
| irvingpop | Right now I'm just using "checkinstall" to package it for my own purposes. But I think it's useful to others so I want to share | 22:17 |
| Darxus | I actually don't know what checkinstall is. | 22:18 |
| Darxus | I just uploaded my first debdiff yesterday. | 22:19 |
| irvingpop | It's cheesy. Instead of running "make install" you run "checkinstall" instead, and it watches all of the install targets and makes a simple package for you. | 22:19 |
| Darxus | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages is conspicuously missing a link on how to actually create a package. | 22:19 |
| Darxus | irvingpop: Ah, nice. | 22:19 |
| ScottK | stani: It's not needed. Just list the bugs in the FFe. | 22:19 |
| irvingpop | Yeah, so that's where I'm looking right now | 22:19 |
| irvingpop | I'm trying to find a simple template or something for new packages | 22:20 |
| ScottK | stani: They ought to be in your changelog anyway, so a copy of that in the bug should do. | 22:20 |
| Darxus | http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/02/create-you-own-debianubuntu-deb-package.html | 22:20 |
| stani | ScottK: ok | 22:20 |
| sebner | !MOTU | Darxus | 22:21 |
| ubottu | Darxus: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | 22:21 |
| Darxus | sebner: Why did you do that? | 22:21 |
| sebner | Darren: click that link -> To get started right away on your MOTU adventure, click here! | 22:21 |
| sebner | Darxus: there is every information you need | 22:21 |
| ScottK | irvingpop: Please don't recommend checkinstall. | 22:21 |
| ScottK | !checkinstall | irvingpop | 22:22 |
| ubottu | irvingpop: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 22:22 |
| superm1 | ScottK, there are no warnings on that page | 22:22 |
| irvingpop | I've been told its a big no-no | 22:23 |
| ScottK | There aren't? | 22:23 |
| ScottK | Grumble. | 22:23 |
| sebner | irvingpop: true ;) | 22:23 |
| Darxus | irvingpop: Yeah, the "To get started right away on your MOTU adventure, click here!" link on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU looks like exactly what you're looking for. | 22:23 |
| superm1 | it actually makes checkinstall look sound like a decent solution just glancing through it | 22:23 |
| irvingpop | checkinstall is part of the RPM packaging process as well, which is why I started there | 22:24 |
| irvingpop | but that's it, I won't mention it again | 22:24 |
| irvingpop | :) | 22:24 |
| ScottK | superm1: And then when I tried to look at the page history I got an internal server error. | 22:24 |
| Darxus | Yeah, checkinstall sounds quite lovely :) | 22:25 |
| superm1 | ScottK, what were the big reasons that were recommending against it? looking at the history, it looks like some fo the big warnings that were related to permissions that got fixed in newer versions | 22:25 |
| ScottK | superm1: I'm not sure. | 22:26 |
| ScottK | It's not possible to automatically produce policy complaint packages. | 22:26 |
| sebner | ScottK: not wondering, no script/app can do that | 22:26 |
| Darxus | ScottK: Yeah but it seems like a great place to start. | 22:26 |
| ScottK | So even if some of the more dangerous flaws have been corrected, it's fundamentally unsuitable. | 22:26 |
| ScottK | Darxus: I disagree. | 22:27 |
| ScottK | I think knowing what you are doing is a great place to start. | 22:27 |
| Darxus | ScottK: Document your objections on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall | 22:27 |
| sebner | Darxus: well, if you want to do something, do it right. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete | 22:31 |
| Darxus | sebner: I understand. But somebody should document disadvantages on the checkinstall page. | 22:32 |
| sebner | Darxus: true, as no one uses checkinstall here it might have been forgotten or people just don't care | 22:32 |
| superm1 | although i wouldn't recommend it's usage over learning to package, i would be interested to find out what about it's packaging is outside of policy too | 22:33 |
| irvingpop | Two of the links (the blog from Darxus and the Packaging/Complete wiki page) seem to be enough to get me started | 22:34 |
| sebner | superm1: just choose an application to package a) the right way b) checkinstall and then compare :) | 22:34 |
| Daviey | it's not easily reproducible, including overwriting changelog on slight change. | 22:34 |
| Daviey | i'm not even satisified it does much more than dh_make anyway. | 22:35 |
| irvingpop | From what I gather, checkinstall is not a sustainable way to build packages which integrate into a build system (like Launchpad), but it is suitable for one-off "I just need this packaged quickly" jobs | 22:36 |
| * ScottK marked on the page and prepares for wikiwar. | 22:36 | |
| sebner | irvingpop: something like that, yes | 22:36 |
| irvingpop | OK, I'm going to go make a package. sorry if I rocked the boat :) | 22:37 |
| sebner | irvingpop: hrhr, np. I do a make install if I need an app quickly though. Not used checkinstall since years | 22:38 |
| sebner | go ScottK go | 22:38 |
| ScottK | I tried to be low key about it. We'll see. | 22:38 |
| irvingpop | sebner: I need it quickly on a dozen desktops, otherwise I wouldn't bother | 22:39 |
| sebner | ScottK: what was the name of this horrible application which installed stuff and did apt-get --force and that stuff | 22:39 |
| ScottK | automatix | 22:39 |
| ScottK | It's still around under a different name, AFAIK. | 22:39 |
| irvingpop | Plus, if anyone has tried to use a Webcam with Flash Player recently they would feel my pain | 22:39 |
| irvingpop | bbl | 22:40 |
| sebner | ScottK: write something like that: Checkinstall is the automatix for packaging. HAHA | 22:40 |
| * ScottK just said don't us it for pacakges intended for distribution. | 22:41 | |
| sebner | bah :P | 22:42 |
| Darxus | Does checkinstall even create a .deb? | 22:43 |
| ScottK | If people want to blow up their own systems, that's really their business. | 22:44 |
| sebner | Darxus: yes | 22:44 |
| sebner | ScottK: hmm as long as they don't file bugs on LP then .... | 22:45 |
| ScottK | Yep. | 22:45 |
| ScottK | Back when automatix was popular I used to sometimes search in LP bugs for automatix and invalid any where it came up. | 22:45 |
| Darxus | I used automatix :P | 22:45 |
| sebner | Darxus: not surprising :P | 22:45 |
| ScottK | So did I, before I knew better. | 22:46 |
| ScottK | The real beauty of the way it was broken was that it would work, but would screw future upgrades, so they almost never got the blame. | 22:46 |
| Darxus | Yeah, my video broke bad during an upgrade. | 22:46 |
| Darxus | Drivers. Nvidia. | 22:47 |
| Darxus | But it provided useful stuff that ubuntu didn't. | 22:47 |
| ScottK | If it'd been done in a sane way, it would have been fine. | 22:48 |
| Darxus | Do I have to do anything else to get this debdiff into karmic? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/428514 | 22:55 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 428514 in azureus "Azureus crashes both openjdk and sun java." [Undecided,New] | 22:55 |
| Darxus | It's such a minor change, and it make azureus not crash :/ | 22:59 |
| zooko | Hey ScottK: you were so picky about licensing with pycryptopp that I've pre-emptively gone and cleaned up all licensing issues that I can think of for Tahoe-LAFS. ;-) | 23:03 |
| zooko | When I get off work today I intend to try uploading a new Tahoe-LAFS to REVU myself, which is just like the current one up there except with a bunch of grant of rights statements and the copyright file fully fleshed out and so on. | 23:04 |
| zooko | Since the Beta Freeze is coming up, and since some people already advocated for an earlier upload of Tahoe-LAFS which is functionally identical to this one, can I somehow mark it on REVU as partially advocated or something? | 23:05 |
| zooko | One person -- kirkland -- advocated Tahoe-LAFS. | 23:08 |
| Davedan1 | in what folder needs to place the script that start and stops a server ? | 23:12 |
| Davedan1 | and in what folder are the server library files | 23:13 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: /etc/rc* | 23:14 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: Server library files? Something other than /usr/lib ? | 23:14 |
| Davedan1 | Darxus: /etc/rc* is for the init.d script? | 23:16 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete <- it should be in there. | 23:17 |
| Davedan1 | Darxus: I've read it but it doesn't tell you where to put the program files | 23:18 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: You need to put a script in /etc/init.d/ and then simlink it to the various /etc/rc* directories corresponding to the runlevels you want it started and stopped for. | 23:19 |
| Darxus | Does ubuntu really not document this? | 23:19 |
| Darxus | Might be worth checking debian policy. | 23:19 |
| Davedan1 | Darxus: I know about the init.d script but sometime servers call a nother script from the init.d script | 23:20 |
| Davedan1 | so the init.d script just has the bare minumum and it excute commands from server_name_ctl script | 23:20 |
| Darxus | Okay. | 23:21 |
| Davedan1 | so my question is were to put server_name_ctl script | 23:22 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: Ah. I don't know. | 23:22 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: Probably /usr/sbin/ | 23:23 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: I was serious about checking debian policy. | 23:24 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ | 23:24 |
| Darxus | http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s-sysvinit 9.3 System run levels and init.d scripts | 23:25 |
| Davedan1 | thanks | 23:25 |
| Darxus | You're welcome. | 23:25 |
| stani | POX, pochu, ScottK: do I have to wait untill Phatch is uploaded to Debian to file a FFE? | 23:26 |
| POX | stani: it will have to go thru NEW in Debian (new binary packages), so pochu should probably upload it to Ubuntu once I'll do it in Debian | 23:28 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: Debian policy says file system hierarchy must comply with http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/ | 23:31 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSBINNONESSENTIALSTANDARDSYSTEMBI | 23:32 |
| Darxus | Davedan1: Yeah, I think /usr/sbin would be right. | 23:32 |
| Davedan1 | I've read it | 23:32 |
| Davedan1 | ok. thanks | 23:32 |
| ScottK | stani: What POX says makes sense. Go ahead and file the FFe. | 23:45 |
| stani | ScottK: thanks | 23:46 |
