| pmcenery | I'm looking for a bit of advice from a Java packaging wizard. I'm going to be doing a course which requires me to use javanns (http://www.ra.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/downloads/JavaNNS/) and sb-mase (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbmase/). Both of these supply the original Java source code and not just the compiled bytecode. I guess I'm looking for a good example package that I can download and use as an example. I'm familiar | 11:36 |
| pmcenery | Also... does anyone know of a link on how to get your PPA packages built for multiple series? I tried googling this. Is it just a case of "dch -i" and setting the series to have you want and put a changelog entry of * Backport in before uploading again? | 11:38 |
| pmcenery | I've just taken a look at azureus source package and think I'll use that... | 11:48 |
| directhex | azureus is a BIG example | 11:51 |
| directhex | i'd poke ttx if i were you | 11:51 |
| directhex | which may mean waiting for timezone alignment | 11:51 |
| pmcenery | directhex: thanks. Strangely... seems like the smaller packages are put together more hap-hazardly with no build systems and stuff all over the place | 11:53 |
| directhex | you play the hand you're dealt | 11:56 |
| directhex | and java upstreams can be haphazard themselves | 11:56 |
| pmcenery | directhex: Yeh. I need to look at setting up a build system for it. Looks like ANT might be quite easy to do this from the azureus example... but I've poked ttx and will wait for some expert guidance on it. | 12:03 |
| directhex | pmcenery, typically in my experience, if upstream provides NO build system, then don't go overboard in plugging the gap. a manual "compile.sh" which just runs javac won't offend anyone if upstream didn't give you better | 12:05 |
| pmcenery | Do you know offhand of a package which uses such a script? | 12:06 |
| directhex | not for java, no | 12:11 |
| pmcenery | directhex: thanks. I'll have a play and see if I can build it first. Looks like I just need to get it to build a single jar and put that in /usr/share/<name>, and do all the desktop links etc. These are fairly small apps | 12:14 |
| pmcenery | /usr/share/<pkg_name>/name.jar rather | 12:15 |
| ttx | pmcenery: you should have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/LibraryPackaging | 12:22 |
| ttx | pmcenery: if the project doesn't provide any kind of build system, I'd write a debian/build.xml and use ant CDBS | 12:23 |
| ttx | See the geronimo-*-spec packages for a minimal example of that (for example geronimo-interceptor-3.0-spec) | 12:24 |
| ttx | slytherin: we should probably update the examples to use the mh_ magic now... | 12:25 |
| ttx | that would remve the dh_link part | 12:26 |
| pmcenery | ttx: thanks. I'll check that link. The one I'm looking at the moment is sb-mase, which doesnt appear to have "built" to a .jar. Its just got a classes folder and a start.bat in it I've executed the commands manually and it seems to actually run. Should I be trying to make this all into a .jar in /usr/share/pkgname/, or should I be putting all the classes there? | 12:26 |
| ttx | either a jar in /usr/share/java, or classes directory in /usr/share/pkgname. | 12:27 |
| ttx | I'd recommend the former if that jar is intended to be used by something else | 12:27 |
| pmcenery | ttx: I think these classes are only used by the app itself. One of the "classes" is also just the icons and stuff used by the application. I'm guessing I should opt for just the classes in /usr/share/pkgname/ and patch the source if necessary to find them. | 12:29 |
| ttx | pmcenery: then yes, eithe ship a classes directory or a jar in /usr/share/pkgname | 12:30 |
| pmcenery | ttx: thanks for the advice. I'll let you kwow when I got something remotely build-able | 12:31 |

| ScottK | quadrispro: If this is for Ubuntu, unless the package isn't in Debian, please don't. | 16:47 |
| LucidFox | It should be 3.8.3... | 16:48 |
| quadrispro | ok, but debhelper build-dep should be at least 7.0.50 (due to the use of override_*) | 16:48 |
| LucidFox | Well, I mean... it *is* 3.8.3 there. | 16:51 |
| ScottL_ | this may sound cliche or dippy but I have learned gads of information already and I feel very fortunate to have these resources available from which to learn | 16:51 |
| LucidFox | ScottK, why shouldn't non-Debian Ubuntu packages have 3.8.3? | 16:51 |
| quadrispro | BTW, the package looks good to me, LucidFox did you get in touch with debian ITP bug's owner? | 16:52 |
| ScottK | LucidFox: I meant the other way around. If we are merging from Debian, don't bump the standards version from what's in Debian. It's pointless and ubuntu-policy says not to. | 16:52 |
| ScottK | Sorry if I misunderstood the situation. | 16:52 |

| michas | Hi, I'm using the resolvconf package, which currently completely breaks DNS due to bug #448095. Since I have to fix the package anyway, (to get a working DNS again, ) I wondered if I should, (instead of a local quick&dirty hack,) try to really fix it and try to get it into the official updates. Is this a good idea? What is the correct procedure? (Just attaching a debdiff to the bug?) | 17:34 |

| michas | micahg, I would call it a "Bug which represent severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu", hence I guess it would justify an SRU. But independently of the SRU, the next step should be a debdiff to fix it in lucid, right? | 17:48 |
| micahg | michas: correct | 17:49 |
| micahg | michas: it's already been marked regression-release, so there will be an update at some point | 17:50 |

| ScottL_ | i have been trying to build zynjacku with pbuilder and I get an error "pythondir is NOT in your Python's sys.path" so I log into my pbuilder environment and see | 19:39 |
| ScottL_ | that I do have the directory "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages" but when I check "python -c "import sys; print sys.path"" it is not in my python path | 19:39 |
| ScottL_ | how can I add this into my path within my pbuilder environment so that I can then build zynjacku in launchpad for inclusion for Ubuntu Studio? | 19:40 |
| ScottK | ScottL_: You shouldn't be using /usr/local in a package for the archives. | 19:49 |
| ScottL_ | ScottK: so perhaps I can set the pythondir with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS in the rules files? | 19:57 |
| ScottK | That sounds likely | 19:57 |
| ScottL_ | ScottK: if so then can you suggest a more proper place? /usr/lib perhaps? | 19:59 |
| ScottL_ | ScottK: sorry for my vast inexperience, but I'm learning rapidly :) | 20:00 |
| maxb | ScottL_: Sounds like you need to include --install-layout=deb on the setup.py command line | 20:01 |
| ScottK | ScottL_: The Debian Python policy (which we use) is in the midst of a major update. Have a look at http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2009/12/msg00009.html and that should have most of the python specific answers you are looking for. | 20:01 |

| ScottK | Our process is throught REVU. | 22:12 |
| ScottK | The fact that upstream may be hosted on Launchpad doesn't affect that. | 22:13 |

| ScottL_ | earlier I asked for help about a python sys.path issue, but now that I read the warning again I was mistaken about the location: | 23:30 |
| ScottL_ | this is where the scripts are located: Python script dir : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages not/usr/local so that is good | 23:30 |
| ScottL_ | but I find the other warning: pythondir is NOT in your Python's sys.path which means you should add it to PYTHONPATH at runtime, or add a .pth file to one of your Python's existing sys.path directorie | 23:30 |
| ScottL_ | and : Alternatively, re-run ./configure with PYLIBDIR set to override the default pythondir, or adjust prefix to match the prefix used to build your Python. | 23:30 |
| ScottL_ | is there something I can do in the rules file dh_make created to solve this? | 23:31 |
| maxb | ScottL_: Debian/Ubuntu packages are expected to install into dist-packages not site-packages from Python 2.6 onwards | 23:32 |
| ScottL_ | maxb, is this something I should talk with nedko (upstream dev) about? | 23:32 |
| maxb | More conventional distutils-based builds will do this properly when passed --install-layout=deb. If this thing has a nonstandard buildsystem, it'll require patching | 23:32 |
| ScottL_ | I searched through various config files and make files but couldn't find anything that called for setup.py which you suggested I pass the "--install-layout=deb" to :( | 23:34 |
| maxb | Can you point me to the source of this thing in something web browsable? | 23:34 |
| ScottL_ | uno momento, por favor | 23:35 |
| ScottL_ | https://launchpad.net/~slavender/+archive/lucid this is my build in my ppa for it....you can see the buildlog for the warning | 23:36 |
| ScottL_ | https://launchpad.net/~slavender/+archive/lucid/+build/1383726 perphas this is a quicker, more direct link | 23:37 |
| maxb | ScottL_: Ah, ok. So it's a traditional autoconf build, rather than a Python distutils one. | 23:41 |
| maxb | The problem is that its paths are wrong. Where they say site-packages, they need to say dist-packages. | 23:41 |
| maxb | Find a command-line parameter or a way of patching the package to make that the case | 23:41 |
| ScottL_ | maxb, thank you, I will dig into it for a while but I will probably end back up here tomorrow :) | 23:47 |
| ScottL_ | I am imagining that I can simply edit his configure files to replace 'site-packages' with 'dist-packages', no? | 23:49 |
| maxb | Hard to say without having looked at where it gets those paths from | 23:49 |
| ScottL_ | then find the Ubuntu wiki/help patch page to help me create a patch and send it upstream? | 23:49 |
| maxb | The patch will not be suitable for upstream. The dist-packages thing is unique to Debian/Ubuntu | 23:50 |
| ScottL_ | hmmm, learned something else | 23:52 |
| ScottL_ | well, later tonight I'll try to replace 'site' with 'dist' and see what happens then, thank you immensely for your help | 23:52 |
