| fcuk112 | i am a bit confused how to use quilt to patch some code. do you use quilt after you've created a patch using diff -Nurp old new > test.patch? | 00:26 |
| directhex | no | 00:36 |
| fcuk112 | the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems is not very clear. it talks about editing an existing diff file - what diff file is it talking about? | 00:38 |
| fcuk112 | never mind, i think i got it. | 01:35 |

| c_korn | isn't Categories=Science a main category in karmic ? lintian gives me this warning: http://pastebin.com/d61f302e5 | 14:08 |
| wrapster | any idea what this error might mean..?http://pastie.org/688808 | 14:14 |
| wrapster | here is the prototype_com file @406... first time im handling stuff like these.. | 14:14 |
| c_korn | wrapster: the patch does not apply on the sources. | 14:19 |
| wrapster | c_korn: ok but why? I mean. what can i infer from this error... like, is it a missing file issue, or compatibility of files issue or stuff like that... could you pls narrow it down a bit.. coz im doing it for the first time. | 14:21 |
| c_korn | wrapster: open the patch and look what files it changes. then first look if the file it wants to patch exists. if it does take a look at the file which should be patched and find out why it fails to apply. | 14:22 |
| c_korn | wrapster: do you know what patch system is used ? | 14:23 |
| wrapster | c_korn: no | 14:23 |
| wrapster | like i said im just starting... so dont even know where to learn these.. | 14:23 |
| c_korn | wrapster: type "what-patch" in the source directory | 14:24 |
| wrapster | c_korn: what-patch: command not found? .. in which pkg does this fall? (hg?) | 14:25 |
| c_korn | wrapster: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-dev-tools | 14:26 |
| wrapster | c_korn: the issue here is im on nexetna and ubuntu-dev-tools which deps on dctrl-tools is not present in the repo..so could you please help me with an alternative? | 14:35 |
| wrapster | sorry for asking it in the wrong forum but im just asking for help... even logistics is good enough to learn... | 14:36 |
| c_korn | wrapster: ok, do you have the debian/patches directory ? | 14:36 |
| wrapster | yes | 14:36 |
| c_korn | wrapster: does it contain a series file ? | 14:37 |
| wrapster | yes and it also contains this sunw0on-fix(the patch that is causing error) | 14:38 |
| c_korn | wrapster: fine. so delete the patch and recreate it: quilt delete <patch-name> ; quilt new <patch-name> | 14:39 |
| wrapster | can i use hg instead of quilt..? coz its already installed. | 14:40 |
| c_korn | wrapster: you mean mercurial ? this is a version control system. you need a patch system. and quilt is the one which is currently used. it is very simple to use | 14:43 |
| wrapster | ok.. done. | 14:43 |
| wrapster | one moment.. pls hang on | 14:43 |
| wrapster | c_korn: ok i deleted and recreate that patch... | 14:44 |
| c_korn | wrapster: ok. then open the patch. and run: quilt edit <file the patch wants to edit> | 14:45 |
| c_korn | then do the changes the patch wants to make. | 14:46 |
| c_korn | (repeat that with all files the patch wants to change) | 14:46 |
| c_korn | at the end run: quilt refresh | 14:46 |
| wrapster | ok | 14:46 |

| eakron | Hello! I'm new to all this but following the excellent session in the Ubuntu Open Week on packaging, I managed to do the example bug fixes and build packages. | 17:59 |
| eakron | Now I noticed that in launchpad there are alot of sync requests from debian, is that something I could do? And if so, point me in the right direction on it please =) | 18:00 |
| ari-tczew | eakron: more needed is work on ftbfs and merging | 18:05 |
| Laney | merges and syncs are part of the same thing | 18:06 |
| Laney | eakron: try the link in the topic | 18:07 |
| ari-tczew | Laney: at this cycle's moment, syncs request need status New or Confirmed for sponsors? | 18:08 |
| ari-tczew | I'm confused | 18:08 |
| eakron | thank you! | 18:09 |
| Laney | ari-tczew: new | 18:09 |
| Laney | sponsors will confirm when subscribing the archive team | 18:10 |
| ari-tczew | ok | 18:10 |
| ari-tczew | for merges too? | 18:11 |
| Laney | they can be confirmed | 18:11 |
| Laney | please fix the docs if this isnt clear | 18:11 |
| eakron | Allright, more specifically. I see one of those sync requests, for eg wicd. What should I do, get the debian package, add the ubuntu changelog and set it as ubuntu1, make a debdiff and add it to the sync request? | 18:31 |
| ari-tczew | eakron: this is merge, not sync | 18:37 |
| ari-tczew | read wiki.ubuntu.com following sync, merge, contributing, sponsors etc. | 18:38 |
| eakron | ok, that's just what it was called in launchpad | 18:39 |
| Laney | there is no diff for a sync | 18:39 |
| Laney | it means that we take the Debian packag exactly as it is | 18:39 |
| eakron | but? | 18:40 |
| Laney | but?! | 18:40 |
| eakron | I checked out grab-merge, it gives me a warning about revision control. I also noticed somewhere it said I should add the ubuntu changelog to the debian package changelog. Is this not so? (ps I just felt like you were about to say but) | 18:42 |
| randomaction | eakron: As a contributor, your part of the job is to request a sync. Then it's acked by developers and processed by archive admins. | 18:43 |
| ari-tczew | eakron: if it's a sync request, please do build test and attach buildlog | 18:44 |
| eakron | that I think I can do, cool | 18:44 |
| ari-tczew | but as I said, more to do is merges than syncs | 18:45 |
| Laney | no | 18:45 |
| ari-tczew | :-/ | 18:46 |
| Laney | at this point, the merge list is where you find potential syncs | 18:46 |
| eakron | ok, I'm confused, what's the difference between syncs and merges again? | 18:47 |
| randomaction | !merge | 18:48 |
| ubottu | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging | 18:48 |
| ari-tczew | e.g. debian has got package called 'x' in version 2.10-1, if Ubuntu doesn't need any changes, then this is sync | 18:49 |
| Laney | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging | 18:49 |
| Laney | try that | 18:49 |
| eakron | okay | 18:50 |

| ThreeOfEight | Hallo, I'm trying to build a package. I've created all necessary files according to the tutorial in the wiki, however, when I try to build it with debuild or dpkg-buildpackage, I get an error from dpkg-source saying something like "Cannot apply changes in (the binary file): Content of binary file has been changed." | 19:51 |
| ThreeOfEight | The package is for a game a friend of mine has made, I'm trying to only include the binary file for now, to make things easier. | 19:53 |
| ThreeOfEight | This is a tarball of the directory structure I tried it with: http://baaa.ba.funpic.de/upl/file.php?file=31c44b298e6832c3cd96eb7e63a61074 | 19:54 |
| ThreeOfEight | This is my first time trying to build a package, so I don't know anything about that. | 19:54 |
| RoAkSoAx | hey guys anyone else has an error similar to this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/313569/ when creating a pbuilder with pbuilder-dist for lucid? | 19:57 |
| eakron | RoAkSoAx: yeah I had the same error | 19:58 |
| LaserJock | well, I can't seem to get pbuilder login to work | 20:02 |
| ari-tczew | just use ppa | 20:02 |
| RoAkSoAx | ok well it seems that we all have the same problem then... :( | 20:03 |
| LaserJock | RoAkSoAx: I got that too so I just dist-upgraded a Karmic pbuilder | 20:04 |
| LaserJock | my problem is pbuilder login doesn't leave me with a shell | 20:07 |
| RoAkSoAx | LaserJock, ok awesome! I'll try that to see what happens | 20:07 |
| RoAkSoAx | LaserJock, you mean it shows you something like: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/313577/ | 20:08 |
| LaserJock | RoAkSoAx: yeah, and it just sits there | 20:10 |
| RoAkSoAx | LaserJock, try executing commands... because in mine sits there.. but i'm still able to execute commands: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/313582/ I'm guessing it's just an error of displaying the prompt | 20:12 |
| dtchen | mine seems ok: root@errno:/# | 20:13 |
| LaserJock | RoAkSoAx: ok crazy, yeah I get that too | 20:13 |
| LaserJock | so it's just a missing prompt | 20:13 |
| dtchen | lucid/amd64 schroot seems okay, too | 20:14 |
| LaserJock | dtchen: mine is on all my pbuilder environments | 20:14 |
| ThreeOfEight | Anyone who knows something about my building error? | 20:14 |
| RoAkSoAx | yeah In my case is in all pbuilder environments as well | 20:15 |
| dtchen | fully current karmic-proposed + karmic-updates ? | 20:16 |
| kklimonda | LaserJock: not only a prompt - if you try to print something formatted (like output of ls) formatting is removed (colors, columns) | 20:17 |
| RoAkSoAx | i'll try adding karmic-proposed and karmic-updates | 20:21 |
| JonyBlaze | RoAkSoAx: what is -f for pubuilder-dist? | 20:25 |
| RoAkSoAx | JonyBlaze, I don't know exactly actually, I'm guessing is trying to force, since it prompted to use -f there.. so I did | 20:27 |
| JonyBlaze | "sudo pbuilder-dist lucid create" seems to be working for me | 20:28 |
| RoAkSoAx | not for me unfortunately | 20:30 |
| JonyBlaze | nm it failed | 20:30 |
| eakron | ok so I looked up bitesized bugs in launchpad, chose one where erlang-doc-html causes erlang-base to be removed (erlang-base conflicts with erlang-doc-html if source version is not the same). What's the best way of changing the source version of erlang-doc-html so erlang-base no longer sees it as conflict? | 20:58 |
| === YDdraigGoch is now known as Richie | ||
| === janne is now known as janneh | ||
| janneh | hello.. i have a very basic question: | 21:10 |
| janneh | if I change something in the source of an existing ubuntu package and then rebuild it with debuild -S and pbuilder, do I need to install the build-dep packages on my system at any point? | 21:11 |
| ThreeOfEight | I'd think so, yes. | 21:12 |
| janneh | or are they only needed in the pbuilder part where they are fetched automatically | 21:12 |
| ThreeOfEight | okay, I don't know then. | 21:12 |
| janneh | ok, np :) | 21:12 |
| ThreeOfEight | but | 21:13 |
| ThreeOfEight | You only actually do building while inside a pbuilder environment, right? | 21:13 |
| janneh | hm I think so... I'll have a better look at what happens during the next build :) | 21:14 |
| janneh | i just starting playing around with debian packages etc. | 21:14 |
| hyperair | what do you mean install the build-dep packages on your system? | 21:15 |
| ThreeOfEight | Well then I guess you won't have to install anything | 21:15 |
| kklimonda | janneh: you need at least part of build-deps for debuild -S to work | 21:15 |
| ThreeOfEight | Anyway, I'm just a newbie with that, too | 21:15 |
| hyperair | pbuilder automatically installs it into a temporary chroot directory. | 21:15 |
| kklimonda | janneh: for example if package uses some patch system you need it for debuild -S to run clean target | 21:15 |
| janneh | kklimonda: yes I guess that was my question. thx. | 21:16 |
| janneh | hyperair: yes, this about pbuilder I knew. but I wasn't sure if any part before pbuilder switches to its chroot any of the build-deps are needed | 21:17 |
| hyperair | janneh: ah i see. | 21:19 |
| hyperair | unfortunately there's no pre-build-dep | 21:19 |
| hyperair | heh | 21:19 |
| eakron | ok I was able to make a fix, built it and it works. But debdiff wont work, unable to read the original .dsc. Could this be because I changed the version? | 21:19 |
| eakron | the fix was changing the version from 13.b-dfsg1 to 13.b.1-dfsg | 21:20 |
| geser | eakron: you changed the version wrongly | 21:25 |
| DktrKranz | lfaraone: are you happy if I uploaded a new revision of python-gasp removing -multiprocessing dep (it's available built-it in 2.6)? | 21:25 |
| geser | what was the exact version before your modification? | 21:25 |
| eakron | erlang-doc-html_13.b-dfsg1-1.dsc before and erlang-doc-html_13.b.1-dfsg-1ubuntu1.dsc after | 21:26 |
| eakron | the thing is, the version change IS the fix, as far as I understand | 21:26 |
| geser | what was the problem, that you needed to change the upstream version? | 21:27 |
| eakron | erlang-base conflicts with erlang-doc-html >> upstream version and << upstream version | 21:28 |
| geser | eakron: why not change the conflicts of erlang-base if it's wrong? | 21:29 |
| eakron | that was my second idea, I figured this was easier. Also the problem I guess is that erlang-doc-html version was messed up somewhere along the line | 21:30 |
| geser | if you change the upstream version you also need to rename the .orig.tar.gz | 21:31 |
| eakron | geser: that's the reason it couldn't open .dsc? Cause orig.tar.gz had the wrong name? | 21:31 |
| eakron | geser: what do you think is the better solution, changing the conflict in erlang-base or changing the version on doc-html? Apparantly this is not the first time it has happened. | 21:33 |
| geser | probably not, but you would probably get a big .tar.gz instead of a .diff.gz and .orig.tar.gz (as it couldn't find any .orig.tar.gz for that version) | 21:33 |
| geser | eakron: is there a bug describing the problem you try to fix? | 21:33 |
| eakron | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/erlang-doc-html/+bug/70745 | 21:34 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 70745 in erlang-doc-html "erlang-doc-html conflicts with other erlang packages" [Low,Incomplete] | 21:34 |
| === mtrudel_ is now known as cyphermox | ||
| geser | eakron: I've done a thorough yet but my guess is that we only synced erlang but not the matching erlang-doc-html :( | 21:38 |
| geser | the conflicts look like it should ensure that erlang-base and erlang-doc-base are installed in the same upstream version | 21:39 |
| geser | so just changing the version number but not the content doesn't look a good solution | 21:39 |
| kklimonda | POX: is python 2.6 going to be default in unstable (when It's uploaded :) ) | 21:39 |
| eakron | geser: ah I see, I should just drop it then? I did try building it, it works. But no guarantees that the documentation is up to date with the installed erlang-base version then. | 21:41 |
| POX | it will be added to supported first | 21:41 |
| POX | but you have to ask doko about it (I still hope I will not have to NMU it) | 21:41 |
| kklimonda | POX: so no reason to report any bugs other than FTBFS in packages related to Python 2.6? Or does adding it to supported mean that I should report any problems I know about? | 21:43 |
| POX | you can report any bug related to python2.6 now | 21:44 |
| POX | python2.6 is ni experimental | 21:44 |
| geser | eakron: if you're interested in the erlang-* packages watch the lucid packages that it won't happen again, and for karmic I'd talk to the ~motu-sru people if getting erlang-doc-html in the correct version is possible or if they have a better suggestion how to fix it | 21:44 |
| POX | but please note that we have different tools in Debian | 21:44 |
| kklimonda | I know, I cry everytime I have to dig though your BTS ;) | 21:44 |
| POX | I mean, I NMUed cdbs and python-central recently and I used a little bit different approach than ubuntu | 21:45 |
| POX | to support 2.6 | 21:45 |
| POX | my cdbs changes are already in Ubuntu | 21:45 |
| kklimonda | POX: no no - the problem is django's unit tests fail with Python 2.6.3 because of some change in python itself | 21:45 |
| eakron | geser: thank you for your help =) I did manage to make a working diff now, I'll just add it to the bug report in case someone cares, but comment that the version is probably wrong. | 21:45 |
| POX | but from what ScottK told me yesterday, python-central is still not working in Ubuntyu | 21:46 |
| POX | kklimonda: report it then | 21:46 |
| lfaraone | DktrKranz: Sure. | 21:50 |
| DktrKranz | lfaraone: thanks, if you want I can commit on DPMT repo too | 21:51 |
| lfaraone | DktrKranz: By all means. (granted, python-gasp still doesn't work in karmic due to a xlib bug, but that's neither here nor there) | 21:53 |
