jgoppertif you have a package in your ppa can another package you create depend on that package?06:31
jgoppertwill the ubuntu server know to include your ppa when it users pbuilder?06:32
noodles775jgoppert: see the 'Edit PPA dependencies' on your PPA page - you can add other PPAs there.06:33
jgoppertok, and how do i fix my pbuilder, is there a  way to tell it to use my ppa, i can install my package through apt-get so that part is setup correctly06:34
noodles775jgoppert: afaik you'll have to add a pbuilder hook to update your sources.list before building - but someone else is probably in a better position to comment on that.06:35
jgopperti tried telling my ppa that is depends on itself but launchpad doesn't like that so how will it find my package?06:37
jgopperti guess i could create another ppa ?, do you usually create one per package?06:38
noodles775It's certainly a good idea to keep them focused - not necessarily one per package, but more in terms of, if a user added this ppa, what would they expect to be updated on their system.06:40
jgoppertoh i see06:40
jgoppertnoodles775: found it 'OTHERMIRROR="<sources.list deb line>"'06:45
noodles775jgoppert: also, found this: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/BuildingASourcePackage#Dependencies06:48

jgoppertoh nice, thanks, so i'm free from having to create a new ppa06:51
LucidFoxGah. Another orig.tar.gz mismatch.07:44
LucidFoxAnd this version has been in Ubuntu long before Debian - you'd think the Debian maintainer would have taken the orig.tar.gz from us.07:44

LucidFoxIs there a diff tool for tar.gz archives, or do I need to unpack them first?07:48
dholbachdebdiff does it for .dsc + .tar.gz, other than that I don't know07:49
LucidFoxGah, these orig.tar.gzs have identical content, but are different. No sync for us.07:53
LucidFoxJudging by the changelog, the debian uploader for kplayer took the package directly from debian-multimedia without considerations for Ubuntu.07:53

=== telmich_ is now known as telmich
siretart`the main advantage I see is that debdiffs finally show a proper diff, no longer diff-of-diffs.09:52
wgrantIt's pretty nice.09:52
wgrantAlthough we're still some way from supporting it.09:53
highvoltagesiretart`: what's the difference between 'quilt' and 'native'? Is quilt just some rules for backwards compatibility? they don't seem to explain it on that page09:54
LucidFoxwgrant> But Debian does support it now?09:54
wgranthighvoltage: 3.0 (quilt) is the replacement for the non-native 1.0 format.09:54
wgranthighvoltage: 3.0 (native) is for native packages.09:54
siretart`highvoltage: think of 'v3 (native)' of pretty much the same as we currently have, with the exception that a) orig.tar.bz2 are allowed, and multiple orig.tarballs are possible09:54
wgrantLucidFox: Correct.09:54
wgrantsiretart`: Um, does 3.0 (native) really allow multiple orig tarballs?09:55
* wgrant checks.09:55
wgrantif so, I have a bug.09:55
* siretart` rereads the manpage09:55
wgrantNo, just one tarball.09:55
siretart`no, you're right. my bad09:55
wgrantThe only different between native 1.0 and 3.0 (native) is support for bz2 and lzma tar.gz.09:56
wgrantHowever, neither dak nor LP will support lzma.09:56
highvoltagesiretart`, wgrant: thanks!09:56
siretart`highvoltage: in essence: if you have a package that uses quilt, use 3.0 (quilt). dpkg has basic quilt functionality built in09:56
LucidFoxwgrant> Any reason?09:56
wgrantLucidFox: For what? The lack of lzma support?09:57
* LucidFox nods09:57
wgrantNot sure about Debian's rationale, but our rationale was a lack of rationale for diverging from Debian.09:57
siretart`highvoltage: oh, and v3 no longer build an .diff.gz, but rather an .debian.tar.gz. that means you can finally have binary files in debian/*09:58
highvoltagesiretart`: yes I saw \o/09:59
directhexwgrant, so how much of 3.0 is supported in ubuntu? none at all? bz2 orig?10:01
wgrantdirecthex: None at all.10:01
wgrantdirecthex: Didn't make it in time for this LP release, sadly.10:01
wgrantAlthough the code is done.10:02
directhexwell, i hope it's in before lucid freezes10:02
wgrantOh yes.10:02
wgrantLP 3.1.11 at the latest.10:02
wgrant(which, despite the name, is actually due on 2009-12-05)10:03
directhexand automatic syncs are still switched off until your branch is merged?10:03
wgrantNo.10:03
wgrantThe current LP rollout will cause the autosyncer to just skip v3 packages.10:03
wgrantSo autosyncing can continue even after testing gets its first v3 package (a day or two away), but those packages will be omitted.10:04
LucidFoxSo we do autosync from testing now?10:06
Laneyyes10:06
* LucidFox scratches her head10:06
highvoltageLucidFox: LTS releases will be synced from testing from now on10:07
highvoltageLucidFox: there's a big thread about it on the ubuntu-devel list10:07
LucidFoxYah, I read about it.10:09
LucidFoxStill sounds odd to me to use untested practices for LTS.10:09
wgrantIf it starts going wrong, it's easy to fix. Going the other way is not.10:09
* siretart` is unsure how hard we should follow this "only merge from testing" requirement.10:14
siretart`e.g. I've already merged emacs-goodies-el which was uploaded only10:15
siretart`yesterday. I"m using the package myself and notice a lot of bugfixes in debian.10:15
Laneyprobably harder for main than universe10:15
siretart`so shall I uploaded it or wait until it migrates to testing? and how10:15
siretart`shall I communicate to other motus that I have that merge ready so that10:15
siretart`no one else waste time merging the squeeze package10:15

siretart`bzr get lp:debian/$package/sid lucid ; cd lucid; bzr merge lp:ubuntu/$package/karmic12:09
wgrantsoren: debmirror says slightly under 75GB12:09
sorenwgrant: It can estimate?12:10
siretart`then go throuh all conflicts, 'bzr revert' the spurious conflicts12:10
wgrantsoren: It tells me how much it is going to download.12:10

\shsiretart, thx :)12:11
siretart`anyway, if a branch is missing on lp, importing them with 'bzr12:12
siretart`import-dsc' is pretty straight forward as well12:12

slytherinwait, did I miss this?12:35
slytherinjames_w: right, so probably ttx requested the promotion to main.12:37
ttxslytherin: yes, it's a eucalyptus dependency.12:47
slytherinttx: problem is that I removed geronimo build-dep from excalibur-logkit because the package does not exist in Debian where is libjboss-j2ee-java was available. So now excalibur-logkit FTBFS in lucid since libjboss-j2ee-java is in universe.13:02
ttxslytherin: that should be fixed in a merge13:05
ttxthe geronimo build-deps were introduced to get a lighter dependency (JBoss can't make it into main right now)13:06
slytherinttx: it is not a merge. The package is in sync with Debian. So we need to add geronimo build-dep again.13:06

wasabiQ: I am writing a package that installs a CA certificate. How should I integrate it into ca-certificates? I figure I should just dump it in the dir, and then reconfigure ca-certificates...  how do I do that last part? Reconfigure ca-certificates.18:44
wasabiFrom anotehr package.18:44
fcuk112_av`: thanks, that worked.18:46
fcuk112_when i upload a debdiff file and added the ubuntu sponsors, do i set the status to in-progress or fix committed?18:55
ari-tczewNew / unassigned?18:56
fabrice_sponly use fix commited when the new pacakge has been uplaoded18:57
iulianfcuk112_: 'Comfirmed' is recommended.18:57
fcuk112_ok, thanks.18:57
iulians/comfirmed/confirmed/18:57
wasabiAnybody know where firefox reads certificates from?18:58
ari-tczewConfirmed? why? is it not only for review by sponsor?18:59
fabrice_spConfirmed?19:00
* fabrice_sp is checking the wiki page19:00
iulianThat's what I remember.19:00
fabrice_spthe siki page don't say anything19:02
ari-tczewI guess that if you not a MOTU's member you not should change status to confirmed, because it's not usefully for sponsors19:02
av`I guess Confirmed is the right status to set19:03
av`in progress is when someone works on it19:03
av`confirmed when a sponsor needs to check it yet19:03
av`and fix committed when the upload is done19:03
ari-tczewhmmm19:04
av`and fix released is automatically set so not a problem19:04
ari-tczewbut not in FFe right?19:04
av`yes, FFe wants New19:04
ari-tczewok thanks, now I understand19:04
av`and confirmed when motu-release review it19:04
ari-tczewye19:04
av`e.g confirmed should be set the motu-release after two acks19:05
av`* when19:05
ari-tczewubuntu archive sync is open, right?19:06
av`yep19:06
av`* by motu-release19:06
av`damn my writing so fast19:06
ari-tczewis it synces from unstable or testing?19:06
av`testing since it is an LTS19:07
av`but if you need to sync a GNOME package, you need sid19:07
av`for other packages testing is the right one19:07
ari-tczewcan I open requestsync on launchpad for any package @universe from unstable?19:08
av`well requestsync is still set to request sid19:09
av`but you need testing so you should fix it manually somewhere into the bug19:09
ari-tczewaround, fille a bug manually?19:09
av`or you specify into the bug which version it's available in squeeze19:10
Laneyrequestsync -d testing xxx19:10
dothebarthy.19:10
ari-tczewI'd like to prefer opening bugs manually19:10
av`ari-tczew, I don't use u-d-t so I can't help with them :)19:10
av`I alwais did it manually19:11
dothebartthe 9.10 release was again done with pretty out of date citadel packages.19:11
av`e.g it leaves me more liberty19:11
ari-tczewas like as me19:11
dothebartwho's to blame for that?19:11
dothebart;-)19:11
av`dothebart, well, I would check https://launchpa.net/ubuntu/source/citadel19:11
ari-tczewhmmm, I guess that we can sync it into lucid, then backport for karmic from lucid19:12
ari-tczewcorrect me if I'm wrong19:12
av`dothebart, * https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/citadel19:12
av`dothebart, if Debian is up-to-date ask for a sync19:13
Laneywhat do you mean "more liberty"? requestsync lets you edit bugs before you file them19:13
Laneydon't request a sync, it will be done automatically19:13
Laney(already has been done)19:13
av`Laney, depends if it hasnt an XubuntuY version attached19:14
av`didnt check19:14
stevecrozzav`: I'm working on a package that depends on source code from another package... can I specify that in debian/control?19:14
Laneywell I did check19:14
av`Laney, I alwais did that manually so never tried out u-d-t19:14
av`Laney, I don't want everything made automatic19:14
av`stevecrozz, you mean the build depends on another source package?19:15
stevecrozzav`: yes19:15
av`stevecrozz, add it into Build-Depends into debian/control or debian/control.in if it has one19:15
av`stevecrozz, check right package name19:16
av`stevecrozz, if not it will fail to build, e.g use apt-cache search whatyouthinkthepackagenameis19:16
stevecrozzso I'd add Build-Depends: "source php5"?19:16
dothebartav`: debian is pretty much up to date19:16
fabrice_spstevecrozz, and the 'source' is not in a -dev package? Sounds weird...19:16
av`dothebart, ask for a backport into karmic now :)19:16
av`dothebart, and you're done19:16
dothebartsid is usualy around 2 weeks behind upstream release date19:16
av`stevecrozz, no19:16
av`stevecrozz, if you need specific development files, you need a -dev package19:17
dothebartthe current release contains some weird bugs fixed in more recent versions released more than three months ago19:17
av`stevecrozz, and the syntax is not source foo19:17
av`stevecrozz, but simply foo-dev or whatever-dev19:17
stevecrozzav`: ok there is a -dev package19:18
av`dothebart, lucid has the latest package from what Laney said, so asking for a backport should be fine19:18
av`!backports19:18
ubottuIf new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging19:18
stevecrozzav`: I need to specify the source in debian/rules also19:18
av`stevecrozz, no19:18
stevecrozz./configure --with-php-src="path"19:18
av`stevecrozz, only if it differs from default value19:19
stevecrozzit does because there is no default value19:19
dothebartav`: link is down19:19
av`dothebart, ah yes, wait a bit, it's under maintenance from what it seems19:20
av`stevecrozz, I never had to manually specify such thing in debian/rules19:20
av`but  I never worked with a php B-D19:20
av`but anyway looks strange to me that you need to manually specify it19:21
stevecrozzav`: where do -dev packages install source?19:21
av`e.g build it before :)19:21
stevecrozzthis is the package: http://github.com/dreamcat4/php-fpm/blob/master/readme.markdown19:21
av`stevecrozz, give me a package's url, e.g into Ubuntu's PTS19:21
dothebartav`: just wanted to trigger it ;)19:21
av`package name is php-fpm?19:21
stevecrozzav`: yes19:22
pace_t_zuluhey guys... i've got an easy one for a motu19:23
av`stevecrozz, no package found with that name :)19:23
pace_t_zulu anyone interested?19:23
pace_t_zuluhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/47573519:23
ubottuLaunchpad bug 475735 in open-vm-tools "Please sync open-vm-tools 2009.10.15-201664-1 from Debian unstable (main) " [Undecided,New]19:23
stevecrozzav`: I know... that's why I'm building it :)19:23
pace_t_zuluany takers?19:23
av`stevecrozz, you can't make a package depend on something that doesnt exist :D19:24
stevecrozzav`: I'm building php-fpm, it depends on source from php519:24
av`stevecrozz, which files are needed?19:24
ari-tczewthere is no component specified and bug desciption doesn't have a changelog from Debian19:24
pace_t_zuluvorian ping19:25
stevecrozzav`: I'm not sure which specifically, but the readme says to specify the path to the entire php source19:25
stevecrozz--with-php-src="../../php-$PHP_VER" \19:25
ari-tczewpace_t_zulu: and it would be nice to see buildlog19:25
av`stevecrozz, add a B-D on php5-dev19:25
randomactionpace_t_zulu: it looks like it'll be auto-synced anyway19:26
av`stevecrozz, to view its files19:26
av`http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/php5-dev/filelist19:26
pace_t_zuluari-tczew: just a package sync ...19:26
stevecrozzav`: I added a build dependency on php5-dev, and I'm getting this right now: checking for php configuration... configure: error: Please specify full path to php source dir: --with-php=DIR19:27
stevecrozzI'll try adding that in debian rules to /usr/include/php519:27
av`yeah, try that19:27
pace_t_zulurandomaction: open-vm-tools was FTBFS for months in karmic19:27
* av` does not know where php stuff is stored19:27
pace_t_zulurandomaction: i am trying to see to it that it receives more love in lucid19:28
pace_t_zuluari-tczew: added changelog from upstream19:28
av`pace_t_zulu, he didnt say anything bad to you, he just told you to update the bug informations with latest changelog's entry plus rationale for the delta's drop and why we wanna sync that19:28
pace_t_zuluav`: np ... just trying to contribute where i can19:30
pace_t_zuluav`: how can i be sure if a package will be automatically synced?19:31
av`yeah, if it has no XubuntuY version attached it will be auto synced19:31
stevecrozzav`: Now I get "checking for php configuration... configure: error: No Makefile found in php build dir. Did you run configure ?"19:31
av`stevecrozz, dunno, looks strange to me it asks you some sources built already into configure run19:33
av`or maybe we just missed the right package19:33
av`as I said I never worked on php stuff19:33
av`so don't know where to look19:33
stevecrozzit looks impossible to me without some modifications19:33
av`check README19:33
stevecrozzREADME for what19:34
stevecrozzphp5-dev?19:34
av`nope, to check some path's examples for php19:34
av`stevecrozz, did you give the right flag?19:34
av`pace_t_zulu, it has no XubuntuY version attached so will be auto-synced somewhen19:35
pace_t_zuluav`: thank you19:35
av`pace_t_zulu, np19:35
stevecrozzav`: the right flag?19:35
pace_t_zuluav`: i'd like to point out that when the package was ftbfs in karmic  it ceased to autosync19:35
av`pace_t_zulu, sure, we were into DIF already19:36
av`stevecrozz, did you give --with-php-src="something/foo/php5"19:36
pace_t_zuluav`: DIF?19:36
av`pace_t_zulu, Debian Import Freeze19:37
pace_t_zuluav`: k19:37
pace_t_zuluav`: thanks19:37
stevecrozzav`: well that's the thing. I can do that in debian/rules and I'm sure it would work... but it won't build anywhere else because I had to apt-get source php519:37
av`pace_t_zulu, e.g syncs needed to be requested manually19:37
pace_t_zuluav`: good to know19:37
av`stevecrozz, then B-D on php5 :)19:38
stevecrozzav`: php-fpm requires the source code from php5 in order to compile19:39
av`stevecrozz, and not php5-dev, then should start working19:39
av`stevecrozz, yes, then B-D on php519:39
stevecrozzav`: then where should --with-php-src refer ?19:40
av`stevecrozz, well it's not right, cause php5 package itself contains just a doc file19:42
stevecrozzI think that's a virtual package19:42
av`transitional package19:42
av`stevecrozz, php5-common19:42
av`try that19:42
stevecrozzok19:42
av`stevecrozz, description says 'Common files for packages built from the php5 source'19:43
av`so should be this one19:43
stevecrozzav`: but I still don't know where to tell php-fpm to look for the source code19:43
stevecrozzphp-fpm has to know where to look for the php5 source19:43
av`problem is I really don't know which file it wants :)19:44
av`never looked through a php package so don't know what it needs to build19:45
stevecrozzwell the first thing it looks for is a Makefile19:45
av`well, you won't find a Makefile into a binary package :)19:46
stevecrozzha, I know, that's what I'm talking about19:46
av`if it really wants a Makefile you can't do anything19:47
stevecrozzso back to my original question... there's no way to 'depend' on source code in debian/control?19:47
av`nope, if you need source files like autotools stuff19:48
av`you won't find them in any binary package19:48
stevecrozzhmm... ok, that's what I was afraid of19:48
stevecrozzlooks like its either unpossible or will require some heavy patching19:48
jbernardis it possible to push a bzr branch as a subdirectory of a project, like lp:~me/+junk/project/feature ?19:49
av`jbernard, well, yes, but they will be into one branch not two19:49
av`jbernard, e.g project/feature1 project/feature2 where feature1/2 are two folders19:50
av`but the branch is the same19:50
ari-tczewdevs, how many packages I need to upload to join MOTU?19:51
jbernardav`: so you'd just push to a new folder, like bzr push lp:~me/project/feature119:51
jbernardav`: and that directory structure would be created on the fly?19:52
av`jbernard, yeah, and maybe keep the official project itself dir somewhere else19:52
av`jbernard, well bzr add feature1 and you're done19:52
av`ari-tczew, really depends :)19:53
jbernardav`: ahh, i think im seeing the light now, thanks19:53
av`jbernard, np, just keep modules on their own dirs19:53
av`and you're done19:53
av`just reminder that your working tree should be project --> module1 project --> module2 project --> module3 etc, all in one branch, it's easier to maintain it as well19:55
av`since pushing to 3-4 different branches can confuse you a bit19:55
av`while you work on the same project19:55
jbernardand then others can pull whichever module they're interested in19:57
av`well no, they gonna pull the whole branch so all modules19:58
av`if you want to maintain them separately you need different branches19:59
av`if not it won't work19:59
jbernardav`: so, stepping back, if ive got two seperate bug fixes for a package, say ubuntu-dev-tools, how would you handle the bzr branch? as separate branches on lp, or one branch with separate modules?20:06
=== zul_ is now known as zul
=== micahg1 is now known as micahg
av`jbernard, if you have two bug fixes for the same package you add the fix, you commit it, then you add the other fix and you commit it then you push, so they will appear as different commits and it will be easier to catch which commit fixed bug 1 and which one fixed bug 220:13
