[00:00] <Laney> the hdf5 delta is really small
[00:02] <jgoppert> I'm really new. I have time but I probably need some help to work on a real package as of yet.
[00:04] <Laney> you have found a good little set of tasks here
[00:05] <Laney> we will help you
[00:06] <jgoppert> so if i'm reading this right we no longer need hdf4-alt-dev ?
[00:07] <jjlee> do I really have to create a repository with some other tool when using piuparts -a?
[00:07] <jjlee> I have a .deb, and want to test that its dependencies are sufficient
[00:07] <jjlee> I was hoping that a tool such as piuparts would do the repository creation for me
[00:07] <Laney> jgoppert: it's still around in Debian
[00:08] <jgoppert> jjlee: pbuilder build *.dsc
[00:08] <RoAkSoAx> ScottK, ping
[00:08] <jjlee> ah, ok -- that puts a repo in some well-known location by default?  and piuparts will find it, like it did the base.tar.gz?
[00:09] <ScottK> RoAkSoAx: Pong
[00:09] <jgoppert> Laney:  * Upload to unstable, due to hdf4 -alt support transitioned from experimental.     (closes: #540403)
[00:10] <RoAkSoAx> ScottK, while removing havp with --purge option, I get this warnings: dpkg: warning: while removing havp, directory '/var/log/havp' not empty so not removed. dpkg: warning: while removing havp, directory '/var/lib/havp' not empty so not removed.. Would it make any sense do: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/332019/
[00:10] <jgoppert> Does that mean we don't need it any longer in ubuntu?
[00:10] <Laney> no
[00:10] <Laney> I don't know what that transition was, but Debian hasn't removed the package so we probably don't want to either
[00:11] <jgoppert> Laney: Ok, so where do I start, pull hdf5 from sid and put in on my ppa?
[00:11] <ScottK> RoAkSoAx: Probably.  That's the kind of decisision I'd want to follow Debian on, so I'd talk with cemc and take the question to Debian.  I wouldn't want to maintain a permenant diff for this.
[00:12] <Laney> jgoppert: You need to "merge" it into Lucid (forget about your PPA for now). See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging
[00:12] <RoAkSoAx> ScottK, ok awesome. Will file a bug in Debian. Thanks :)
[00:13] <jgoppert> oh boy, any cliff notes? can you walk me through it a bit
[00:14] <Laney> yep yep
[00:14] <Laney> download the Debian package, figure out if we still need the Ubuntu changes and apply them if so
[00:15] <jgoppert> ok so dget something, whats the quickest way to find the url, debian package search?
[00:15] <Laney> use pull-debian-source from the ubuntu-dev-tools package
[00:17] <jgoppert> yeah the little stuff like that helps, i've been doing stuff the hard way, takes forever
[00:17] <jgoppert> ok i got it
[00:18] <jgoppert> do i do a diff against the ubuntu, how does that work?
[00:18] <Laney> you can grab it from patches.ubuntu.com
[00:18] <Laney> http://patches.ubuntu.com/h/hdf5/hdf5_1.6.6-4ubuntu2.patch
[00:18] <Laney> also merges.ubuntu.com might have it
[00:19] <jgoppert> lol ok so there is one real diff?
[00:19] <jgoppert> i have no idea why we need this though         /* do compressed data write */
[00:19] <jgoppert> -        output = open(filename, O_RDWR | O_CREAT);
[00:19] <jgoppert> +        output = open(filename, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, S_IRWXU);
[00:21] <Laney> see the changelog
[00:21] <Laney> I reckon it was to fix a build failure
[00:21] <Laney> you can check that location in the new package to see if they took the patch
[00:21] <Laney> otherwise try a build and check if it works now
[00:21] <ajmitch> it's to set the permissions of files that get created
[00:22] <Laney> yeah
[00:22] <ajmitch> I'm sure there was a good reason for it at some point
[00:22] <Laney> the new compiler flags would FTBFS on it right?
[00:22] <jgoppert> ok checking theirs for the fix
[00:22] <ajmitch> according to the changelog, it's needed for -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE
[00:23] <Laney> right
[00:23] <Laney> i'm off to bed
[00:23] <jgoppert> wait my debian is at 1.6.2, did it pull from stable and I need unstable?
[00:24] <ajmitch> night
[00:24] <Laney> now that ajmitch has turned up :)
[00:24]  * ajmitch isn't really here
[00:24] <Laney> LIES
[00:24] <jgoppert> Laney: Thanks for the help
[00:24] <jgoppert> oh no.. abandoned, lol
[00:24] <Laney> no problem, feel free to bug ajmitch all you want!
[00:24] <ajmitch> *cough*
[00:24] <Laney> (it pulled from testing and not unstable)
[00:24] <Laney> ttyl!
[00:24] <jgoppert> see ya
[00:25] <ajmitch> even testing should have 1.8.3-2.1
[00:26] <jgoppert> looks like you can specify it with pull-debian-source gdal sid
[00:27] <ajmitch> ah, you're talking about gda1 again, not hdf5
[00:28] <jgoppert> yeah well we need to fix both i guess, hdf5-serial and hdf4-alt are dependencies
[00:28] <jgoppert> the automated merge failed due to them, i fixed it by backing up the library deps to earlier versions on my ppa but Laney yelled at me lol
[00:40] <jjlee> jgoppert: are you sure that pbuilder --build creates a repository?  seems it just builds a package
[00:40] <jjlee> jgoppert: what I wanted to do was test install dependencies, not build deps
[00:41] <jjlee> jgoppert: hence need for a repo to give to piuparts -a
[00:41] <jgoppert> jjlee: pbuilder create a chroot and installs all the dependencies, if your package fails to build then you know you are missing some
[00:41] <jjlee> jgoppert: sure -- but that wasn't what I was trying to do
[00:41] <jjlee> I already knew my build deps were ok
[00:42] <jjlee> it was my *install* deps I wanted to test
[00:42] <jjlee> I want to install my package using apt-get in a clean chroot, then run the packaged program
[00:43] <jgoppert> haven't done that before, i just have the same build and install deps most of the time except like autotools etc
[00:43] <jgoppert> if you are talking like the dev package
[00:43] <jjlee> fair enough
[00:43] <jgoppert> otherwise shlibs should do that for you, no need to check
[00:44] <jjlee> shlibs?
[00:44] <jgoppert> Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
[00:44] <jgoppert> you've seen that line before right, well it finds all the symbols that require linking and does it automatically
[00:45] <jjlee> this is a Perl package
[00:45] <jgoppert> oh, well if its script no need to worry about binary packages right?
[00:45] <jjlee> but there is a need to worry about install dependencies
[00:46] <jjlee> for example, my install dependencies might be missing a package that provides a required CPAN module
[00:46] <jjlee> only way to find out is to install it in a clean environment and run the tests (if there are any)
[00:47] <jjlee> well, not the *only* way, of course -- but it's a good test
[00:47] <jgoppert> i see your problem, maybe use virtualbox and go for it? lol ouch
[00:47] <jjlee> somebody did it at work already, I'll see what we do there (just cobbled together multiple tools, including pbuilder, I think)
[00:48] <jgoppert> yeah you can do a pbuilder login and you get a shell in the chroot
[00:48] <jjlee> I was just hoping there was some tool that made it easy(ier)
=== blueyed_ is now known as blueyed
[00:50] <jgoppert> well seems to me like you'd almost need a test suite, how is anything going to know what you call from your script
[00:51] <jjlee> right, the tool can't know that part (well, a tool could do static analysis, but that's a different thing)
=== asac_ is now known as asac
[00:52] <jjlee> what I was hoping for was to write test-my-debian-package-install-dependencies my-debian-package.deb --components 'main universe' --run test-my-debian-package.sh
[00:53] <dtchen> jjlee: are you familiar with piuparts?
[00:53] <jjlee> dtchen: we just went around that loop ;-)
[00:53] <jgoppert> well i know nothing bout piuparts, so maybe someone else could help you
[00:53] <jjlee> I can see what I need to do
[00:54] <jgoppert> good luck
[00:55] <jjlee> just need to run some tool that creates a repo, then pbuilder to create chroot, then run piuparts (and/or manual apt-get + test)
[00:55] <dtchen> I don't see why you need pbuilder for that scenario
[00:56] <jjlee> dtchen: want a clean chroot
[00:56] <dtchen> piuparts will create the base install environment
[00:56] <dtchen> I did a short classroom on this last year
[00:56] <jjlee> dtchen: you're probably right, but it complained at me when I tried it just now.  Ran pbuilder --create and it stopped complaining.
[00:57] <dtchen> oh, I see what you're referring to
[00:57] <dtchen> for some reason I thought you wanted to login to the chroot
[00:58] <jjlee> I'm a little surprised that everybody doesn't do this
[00:58] <jgoppert> i'm really new to all of this, sure the pro's do
[01:02] <jjlee> thanks all, bye
[01:23] <bddebian> dtchen: Are you avoiding me? :)
[01:30] <dtchen> bddebian: hi
[01:30] <dtchen> bddebian: err, no, I've been on holiday for the past few days
[01:30] <bddebian> dtchen: I figured, I'm just kidding. :)
[01:31] <bddebian> dtchen: If you get time, libsdl1.2 1.2.14 is in experimental if you could do some testing..
[01:31] <dtchen> bddebian: yep, I'll work on that alongside the userspace alsa-{lib,plugins} debugging; thanks!
[01:32] <dtchen> now if only I had non-craptastic hw on which to test :/

[04:43] <fabrice_sp> I'm not able to build monkeystudio.. How did you do it?
[04:44] <fabrice_sp> jgoppert, are the pacakges already in Ubuntu?
[04:44] <fabrice_sp> just curious :-)
[04:45] <jgoppert> not for most of them, had to make my own gdal temporarily, new: boost-numeric-bindings, gnelib, hawknl, open-dis, premake, and uvsim my project from sf
[04:45] <jgoppert> trying to package delta3d right now
[04:49] <fabrice_sp> a lof of new packages, then !
[04:49] <fabrice_sp> good luck :-)
[04:50] <jgoppert> thanks, yeah its been a learning experience
[04:57] <fabrice_sp> just in case: debian/copyright is a very important file in the package and does not get, most of the time, the required attention ;-) So if you are looking for sponsorship to get the packages into Ubuntu or Debian, this file should be accurate
[05:12] <jgoppert> thanks fabrice, i'll be sure to look over mine before i ask someone
[05:31] <jgoppert> how do i do an itp, i've packaged all of these new packages but kind of skipped that part
[05:34] <stefanlsd> jgoppert: I would check if debian has an ITP first, and assist there. You can do it there (create on with their process), or do it on Ubuntu by filing a need packaging bug on launchpad
[05:35] <jgoppert> ok is there like an equivalent of ubuntu-motu over there?
[05:36] <lifeless> debian-mentors
[05:36] <jgoppert> thanks
[05:36] <lifeless> but ubuntu-motu can help you out regardless
[05:36] <jgoppert> thanks
[05:36] <stefanlsd> also see http://wiki.debian.org/Maintainers
[05:38] <jgoppert> how do i check if this program runs correctly in debian? Is there a way to get graphics windows inside a chroot from pbuilder?
[05:39] <jmarsden> jgoppert: Yes, but I forget the details... I tend to run Debian in a Virtualbox VM for that sort of testing instead...
[05:40] <jgoppert> ok, yeah i made one just in case :-/ my virtual box with sid on it has the internet cut out during downloads every couple minutes and i have to rerun the apt-get install or whatever, kind of annoying, does your's work correctly?
[05:42] <jmarsden> Yes, works fine for me here... or did last time I used it, let me check :)
[05:47] <jmarsden> jgoppert: Yes, seems fine here, I'm seeing my usual 1.1MBytes/sec download speed, no dropouts downloading a Debian CD1 .iso using wget...
[05:47] <jgoppert> that's good, are you using nat?
[05:48] <jmarsden> Host networking for virtualbox-ose... NAT in the router (Verizon FIOS connection to Internet, 10Mbps down/2Mbps up)
[05:53] <jgoppert> maybe thats my problem, i was on nat
[05:57] <jmarsden> jgoppert: I don't know, I always use host networking so I can ssh into my virtualbox VMs :)
[05:58] <jgoppert> that's pretty cool, lol would be useful
[06:00] <jgoppert> delta3d 24% done, crossing fingers.. have to love late night packaging.. no line for the build farm lol
[06:03] <jmarsden> jgoppert: :)  It's *really* better to build it locally first, so you don't need to cross any fingers, you know :)
[06:03] <jgoppert> yeah this is the first time i'm building it locally.. i'm just saying soon enough its off to the build farm, 41% now :-)
[06:04] <jgoppert> i had to get like 4 new libraries packaged, i feel very accomplished lol
[06:06] <jmarsden> Good for you!  I was looking at packaging something new over this last weekend but decided it was "too much work for right now" when I saw how many libs I'd have to package first :)
[06:20] <jgoppert> yeah its even more fun when they use cmake :/  got to 60% and crashed because their unit tests failed do to relative paths.. grrr... oh well just disabled the testing, no need to build it right now i guess
[06:22] <jmarsden> :) I've not learned cmake fully yet either... learned enough autotools to get by years ago, don't see why I should have to relearn now ... but at some point I probably will have to cave and learn cmake :) :)
[06:24] <jgoppert> i learned cmake first, attempted to use it and then realized i was an idiot for not just taking the plunge and learning autotools in the first place, but i guess not everyone thinks like me, cmake seems easy at first, its install mechanisms aren't that great though, and its kind of limited if you are using multiple languages
[06:32] <mannyv> I was looking at the package progaurd and the version in testing can be synced but the version in unstable has been updated to source format 3.0 (quilt) which I remember reading cannot be handled correctly yet. Does this mean I should hold off on requesting a sync?
[06:38] <jgoppert> i have a package trying to install is so's to /usr/lib64, should i switch it to /usr/lib ?
[06:38] <jgoppert> *it's
[07:09] <fabrice_sp> ScottK, do you have any opinion on bug 426614 ?
[07:09] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 426614 in oprofile "oprofile should not link libbfd dynamically" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/426614
[07:10] <fabrice_sp> mannyv, no: the sync request will be on hold on archive admin part, but I still process them
[07:11] <fabrice_sp> but I may be wrong :-)
[07:13] <micahg> do I need the changelog entry to say LP: #XXXXXX or is LP: XXXXXX enough?
[07:14] <alkisg> If package A depends on package B, and the user purges package A, will the postinst from package B be called *after* the postinst from package A? Or no order is guaranteed there?
[07:16] <micahg> nevermind...I just fixed it
[07:16] <jmarsden> Do appropriate admins know that https://wiki.ubuntu.com is apparently down?
[07:17] <jmarsden> Is there something like http://status.ubuntu.com for outage status/info ?
[07:17] <maco> not that im aware
[07:18] <damagednoob> yeah i'm not getting to wiki.ubuntu.com
[07:18] <maco> admins are in #canonical-sysadmins i thin
[07:18] <maco> *think
