doctormoI need a packager who can do start up scripts and varius other system niggles.03:06
wrapsteri created a gpg key on my local box but most of my work deals with ssh'ing to a remote box and building pkg there.. is there a way i can export my public.key or do something so that i can sign it using my KEYID04:10
doctormowrapster: Can you not just create a seperate key for your remote box and link it back?04:10
wrapsterlink it back?04:11
lifelesswrapster: you can copy the packages back and sign with debsign04:11
lifelesswrapster: or you can create a detached signing subkey04:11

ajmitchwgrant: is that the same as debrsign?04:24
StevenKNo, wrong way04:24
lifelesskindof of the reverse04:24
StevenKdebsign -r is you have your key remotely, and the .dsc and .changes locally04:25
StevenKdebrsign is you have your key locally and the .dsc and .changes remote04:25
wgrantEr.04:25
wgrantdebsign -r has the key locally.04:25
ajmitchI don't use either method very often04:25

doctormoDoes anyone know how to list files on a system that were not installed by packages?04:54
StevenKcat /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list > all ; find . -type f > files ; diff -u all files # maybe?04:55
StevenKEr, fine /04:55

zookoThere used to be a tool in debian named something like "cruft" to do that.04:57
zookoMany years ago.04:57
wrapsterStevenK: i think debrsign is what i want.. the key i have that is machine that generated the gpg is local.. while the dsc and changes file are on the machine that i ssh into!!!04:58

alouriehello08:37
alourieI need an advice please08:41
alourieI've been splitting a wordpress package into 208:41
alourieI edited the control, rules, dirs and install files, and pdebuild seems to pass.08:41
alourieHow should I proceed with this?08:41
alouriethanks08:41
jmarsdenalourie: "pdebuild seems to pass" ... if it creates the expected binary .deb files, then you can install and test them, that would be usual the next step.08:45
alouriejmarsden: yes, it does create them08:45
persiadpkg --contents might help to determine if it creates the expected binaries.08:45
alourieno, sorry08:45
alourieit creates dsc files08:45
jmarsdenalourie: What exact command did you use to tell your pbuilder to create the .deb files ?08:46
alouriejmarsden: I just ran 'pdebuild'08:49
alourieand it created dsc file08:49
jmarsdenAnd it ran with no errors, but created no .deb files at all?08:49
alouriejmarsden: yes08:51
jmarsdenWhere are you looking for the .deb files?  Have you used pdebuild successfully in the past?08:51
alouriejmarsden: well, I was looking for .deb files in the same directory as .dsc created08:52
alouriebut maybe that's not right...08:52
jmarsdenman pdebuild    the default buildresult directory is not .. it is /var/cache/pbuilder/result/08:53
alouriejmarsden: right :-) and there's a deb file08:53
jmarsdenAre the missing .deb files in there?  OK.08:53
alouriejmarsden: so now I just install them?08:54
jmarsdenSure, or as persia said you can use dpkg --contents on them to see what they contain, if you prefer.08:54
jmarsdenBasically they are now ready for you to test.08:55
alourieok, I will try to install08:58

_Andrewhi guys09:57
_Andrewhttp://pastebin.com/d63f7449c09:57
_AndrewIs this correct for the rules file? I've never done an if statement in one before09:58
_AndrewCan't even find an example of one09:58
persia_Andrew, Consider instead modifying nvidia-cg-toolkit so that it builds a binary for lpia (just use the i386 binaries from nvidia: they are compatible).09:59
_Andrewoh really?10:00
_AndrewOn lpia only machines?10:00
_AndrewWell that's made things simpler10:00
persiaThat said, it's probably worth just disabling it in every case if you're planning an upload to Ubuntu, as nvidia-cg-toolkit cannot be built on the buildds (requires build-time internet access).10:01
_AndrewI already packaged it10:01
persiaAgain?10:01
_Andrewyes10:01
persiaThere's an nvidia-cg-toolkit source package in multiverse.10:01
_AndrewBut it requires internet access10:02
persiaYes, but anything else violates the license nvidia provides saying that one can't redistribute the downloaded tarballs except as binary modules to work with an operating system.10:02
_AndrewNo it doesn't there is a linux exception10:02
persiaSo, unless the license changed, or I'm misinterpreting it, you can't redistribute the tarballs.10:03
persiaIf that's changed, then Great!  Keep at it!10:03
persiaBut check the license carefully.10:03
_AndrewYes I already submitted a big about it to both debian and ubuntu about a year ago10:03
_Andrewa bug about it**10:03
persiaOh, so there was a change?  Cool.  It's been more than a year since I last checked that license.10:03
slacker_nlhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff < step 4, is that correct information for motu?10:03
persiaslacker_nl, There are many ways to generate a debdiff, but that also works.10:04
_AndrewAre there any examples of an if statement in the rules file?10:04
slacker_nlpersia: i ment, the e-mail for the maintainer field :)10:05
slacker_nlis that correct10:05
persiaslacker_nl, Yes.10:05
slacker_nlpersia: k, thnx10:05
persia_Andrew, Well, it's correct make syntax, but it won't work the way you want.10:05
persiaIn makefiles, there are two different ways that conditionals are sometimes used: make conditionals and shell conditionals.10:06
persiaIn general, it's best to use make conditionals to set variables, and shell conditionals within a rule (although there are exceptions).10:07
_AndrewActually if lpia is compatible with i386 binaries what I will do is if it's lpia copy files from a specific folder10:07
persialpia is compatible with the ia32 instruction set.  Whether binaries are compatible is more complex, and probably requires some ABI analysis.10:08
=== Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_
_Andrewoh : /10:08
_AndrewPerhaps it's better just to disable it then.10:08
_AndrewBut actually I want the cg toolkit for i386 and amd6410:08
slytherin_Andrew: You need to use logical constructs for make. The one you are using is for shell. Check this http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-java/trunk/java-gnome/debian/rules?view=markup10:08
_AndrewThat's perfect. Thanks10:09
sistpoty|work_Andrew: you can actually set up a lpia chroot on an x86 box10:10
slytherin_Andrew: so you will have to use - ifneq (,$(filter $(DEB_HOST_ARCH), lpia)) - This means if the arch is lpia.10:10
persiaslytherin, Is that going to work inside a rule?  I usually use that sort of thing only to set variables, and use the (possibly empty) variable inside the rule.10:10
slacker_nlslytherin: i've created a debdiff for the fix of that bug10:11
slytherinpersia: You have a valid question. And I have never used it inside a rule. :-)10:11
slytherinslacker_nl: attach it to the bug and subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors.10:11
persiaInside rules, I usually see the use of shell conditionals (but these need to be tab-indented, and one needs to take care to have the entire conditional processed as a single call from make)10:12
persia_Andrew, I'd recommend setting a new variable, say CG_EXTA_FLAGS, to either "--disable-cg" or "" using make conditionals, and then referencing ${CG_EXTRA_FLAGS} in your ./configure call.10:13
slacker_nlslytherin: will do, thnx10:13
persia(or just enabling lpia, but I'm not sure how many lpia+nvidia devices exist, so that may not be important)10:13
_Andrewpersia: Yeah, actually I don't think it's important. I just find it annoying that a dependency wait shows it as a build failure in Ubuntu. Lots of people email me about it all the time even though they don't use lpia O_o10:19
directhexpersia, if LPIA is basically Atom, isn't Ion LPIA?10:21
directhex(ion being an nvidia 9400m variant as a replacement netbook chipset for atom)10:22
persiadirecthex, I have no information to answer that question.  My opinion is that until the instruction set diverges from ia32, lpia is a marketing term.10:22
directhexwasn't there discussion of axing it at UDS?10:23
persiaYes.10:23
persiaThe decision was that the silicon vendors were still talking about possible divergence in the future that would make a difference, and it would be more trouble to kill it and restore it than to leave it and ignore it.10:23
persiaBut until I see chips that *are* different, rather than rumours that future chips will be different, I don't expect to put a lot of effort into it.10:24
* sistpoty|work has some doubts that binary incompatibilty will happen anywhen soonish, as that's imho the only strength of atom10:25
* directhex agrees10:25
directhexsad reality is: what's the point in an Atom which can't run windows?10:26
persiasistpoty|work, Maybe.  From what I've heard, the focus has been on optimisation, so that the line that currently provides the i7 focuses on raw throughput, whereas the line that currently provides the Atom focuses on throughput/watt.10:26
sistpoty|workdirecthex: exactly10:26
persiaI've heard rumours that that specific application use case has caused significant annoyance to both camps.10:27
persiaBut anyway, divergence is a matter of time, as much as anything else.10:27
persiaThere's lots of bolt-on instruction sets that have been established over time.  Atom has lots less of these than i7.10:28
persiaIf any of these are critical enough for performance, or if Atom gets a set that can significantly optimise for power, then there may be instruction divergence (although most of that would be just processes capabilities analysis)10:28
lifelessare the compiler flags the same as i386 at the moment?10:29
persialifeless, Not sure.  There was a special lpia flags wrapper deployed in very early karmic.  I haven't checked if it is still there.10:29
slytherinWhich team handles mobile-meta package?11:03
alouriepersia, jmarsden: the kit seems to contain everything I need, checked with 'dpkg --contains'11:11
alouriehow should I proceed?11:12
persiaalourie, So, you've modified and compiled a package, and installed it.  What beyond that did you wish to accomplish?11:18
alouriepersia: how do I verify the quality is ok? what do I do next to "issue" the patch?11:19
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
persiaalourie, My memory is that you were doing a package split, with no other bugfixes.  If that is correct, there really isn't any "quality" to measure, so long as all the files are still present.11:20
persiarunning debdiff between the original package and your modified package would generate a patch.11:20
_AndrewIs there a way to get launchpad to auto build a package if one that depends upon it is updated11:21
persiaBut unless there's some strong reason why something is broken otherwise, it is unlikely that your patch will be accepted in Ubuntu, as a package split requires significant maintenance and so needs commesurate gain.11:21
persiaWhy would you rebuild something because a dependency was updated?  Usually, it's the other way about, and no.11:21
persiaWhile it's possible, it is often the case that when a dependency changes, some other change is required in a package (e.g. API changes for a library), so it benefits from human interaction.11:22
persia(well, usually.  Ask someone who has done too much NBS, and they will provide a counterargument)11:22
_Andrewok11:23
alouriepersia: so I just debdiff and attach the patch files to the bug?11:24
persiaalourie, Yes, but unless the bug is part of some larger effort, don't expect it to be uploaded quickly, because package splits are expensive.11:24
alouriepersia: no, it's something quite light11:25
alourieit's separation of language files from main wordpress installation11:25
persiaRight.  That's expensive to maintain, because someone would have to merge every cycle.11:26
persiaMostly I'm just warning you that even if you did a spectacular job, it might not be considered a candidate for upload soon.11:26
alouriepersia: oh, that's ok, I volonteered to help rolf11:26
persiaPersonally, for a package split, I'd recommend contacting the Debian maintainer, as it may also be interesting for Debian, and that would significantly reduce the burden (as it wouldn't have to be redone every six months).11:27

cgreganjpds: so no way to adjust the order of starts in start-up applications applet?15:14
cgreganjpds: I was hoping it had a linear process (i.e. apps at the top start first...bottom last)15:16
slytherincgregan: I believe there used to be a priority for startup applications. But I don't see it anywhere now (in jaunty at least).15:34
cgreganslytherin: Hmm....definitely not in Karmic either.15:35
cgreganI'll give #gnome-do a shot15:35

wrapsterwhat are APT alternatives? can anyone let me know what it means?18:12
Amaranthwrapster: smart18:33
wrapsterAmaranth: ?18:34
Amaranth!info smartpm18:34
ubottusmartpm (source: smart): An alternative package manager that works with dpkg/rpm. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-0ubuntu0.9.04 (jaunty), package size 50 kB, installed size 356 kB18:34
Amaranthwrapster: basically it's an alternative way of resolving dependencies and downloading packages to feed to dpkg18:35
wrapsterAmaranth: resolving dependency? could you be a bit more descriptive ,im a newbie here trying to learn18:36
Amaranthwrapster: Well, packages have dependencies. Certain other packages required for them to work. "Resolving dependencies" means figuring out what those are.18:38
AmaranthWhich can get complicated with recursive dependencies, either or dependencies (I need this package or this package), and multiple packages providing the same dependency18:39
wrapsterAmaranth: ok got it.. thanks for the info18:43

jtimbermanfabrice_sp_: hey.. let me know if i can help with that chef upgrade ticket19:38
fabrice_sp_jtimberman, thanks :-)19:49
fabrice_sp_I'm just building the package, and will check for the changes19:49
jtimbermanfabrice_sp_: github's migration was a bit rocky.19:49
jtimbermanfabrice_sp_: the uscan works with the watch file line you posted in the LP bug?19:49
fabrice_sp_jtimberman, yes :-)19:50
fabrice_sp_If you agree, I'll update it in your package19:50
jtimbermanthat's fine, though we might move to creating our own tarballs and posting in the apt repository for a future release.19:52
=== korn_ is now known as c_korn
fabrice_sp_jtimberman, why having a lot of cp in the rules file, and not .install files?20:14
jtimbermanfabrice_sp_: iirc, i copied another package's example.20:15
fabrice_sp_:-)20:15
fabrice_sp_so please put in your todo list: make the rules file easier :-)20:16
fabrice_sp_Anyway: everything sounds good, so I'll upload it20:16
jtimbermanthanks!20:16
fabrice_sp_thanks to you for your hard work :-)20:17
jtimbermanlooks like libmixlib-config-ruby isn't synced from debian yet. :/20:19
jtimbermanLP bug 42067420:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 420674 in libmixlib-config-ruby "Please sync libmixlib-config-ruby 1.0.12-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42067420:19
fabrice_sp_yeah: waiting for an archive admin to process it20:20
fabrice_sp_this mean that the package will FTBFS, right?20:20
fabrice_sp_or it will just fail to run correctly?20:20
fabrice_sp_jtimberman, ^20:22
jtimbermanlooking20:22
fabrice_sp_ok. Sorry :-)20:22
fabrice_sp_libchef-ruby1.8 won't be installable (because of the Depends)20:24
jtimbermanyeah. because the package sets up the log_location as a file, iirc.20:25
jtimbermani didn't do any of the code work on that in chef or mixlib-config though.20:25
fabrice_sp_I'll upload it anyway, as the package will build fine20:25
jtimbermanalrighty20:27
ZelutI'm having a PPA issue in that I can't figure how to upload for jaunty and karmic20:48
jdongthe upload will go to where debian/changelog's top entry tells it to go20:48
Zelutjdong: which is what I assumed, and jaunty has been accepted and built. I'd now like to build for karmic so I changed the changelog but dput is rejected saying it already exists.20:49
ChogyDanZelut: and don't forget to add 'jaunty' and 'karmic' to the version numbers20:49
jdongZelut: dput rejects it because locally there's a .upload file20:50
jdongI believe it's a .upload extension20:50
Zelutjdong: i deleted the .upload file20:50
jdongZelut: you may need to mangle the version number too20:50
jdongLP probably won't accept same package version uploads like that20:50
ScottKIt won't.20:50
ZelutFile origami_0.7.1.1-0ubuntu1.diff.gz already exists in PPA for Christer Edwards, but uploaded version has different contents.20:50
Zelutmaybe increment the 0ubuntuX number? seems like a hack20:51
jdongZelut: well ideally your version number should already be that the karmic version is higher than the jaunty version20:51
jdongi.e. look at how the Security team versions security updates20:51
jdongotherwise you might be causing your users some upgrading grief20:52
ScottKZelut: I recommend avoiding revision numbers like would be used in the archive (e.g. 0ubuntu1) in a PPA.  I recommend a scheme like 0uubntu1~release1~ppa1.20:52
Zeluthmm20:52
ScottKThis avoids namespace collisions both with normal release numbering and backports.20:52
jdongyup20:53
ScottKIt also naturally gets you a higher version for newer releases20:53
Zelutso, in this case, we'll just have to deal with different naming in my PPA for two packages that come from the same upstream version?20:54
ZelutI guess I chalk this up to learning.20:55
ScottKZelut: You uploaded 0.7.1.1-0ubuntu1 for Karmic?20:56
ZelutScottK: for jaunty. I was going to push the same version to karmic.20:57
ScottKThen just add +ppa1 to then end for karmic20:58
ZelutScottK: new upstream release today. Updated the jaunty PPA and wanted to add it to karmic as new.20:58

sebnerScottK: the LP status is "Waiting for approval" <-- that's what I mean21:32

zookoWow, launchpad is sluggish today.23:21
zookoThere's a bugfix release of pycryptopp which probably ought to go into Karmic.  I'm going to open a "request sync from Debian" request on launchpad if it ever lodas.23:21
zookoDammit.  The redirect to apport is really irritating.  I'm nowhere near a Linux box, and I'd like to get this bug report in and make my next appointment.23:23
zookoOkay, that's my quota of complaining for the day.23:23
geserzooko: append ?redirect=no to the reportbug link23:25
zookoOkay success at opening the bug report.  bye for now!23:25
zookogeser: ooh, thanks.  :-)23:26
geserzooko: btw: how did you test that it builds if you aren't on Ubuntu right now?23:26
