dholbachgood morning07:40
machinaI have a question about packaging a new revision. Are you always supposed to put the latest development environment in the changelog even if you want the revision to be considered for SRU?07:45
macoit has to go to the latest devel first07:46
macobut you want to make 2 debdiffs. one for each07:46
persiaWell, the *fix* needs to go to the latest development environment first.07:46
persiaThe revision needs to be targeted to a specific environment.07:46
persia(and sometimes, especially when backporting upstream fixes, there is no special upload for the fix to the development release)07:47
macopersia: er....whats the difference with what i said?07:47
macoexcept that i didnt say the part about "devel might not need a special upload" like you did07:47
persiamaco: Precisely the same except I used lots more words :)07:47
macoof course you did. you're persia.07:48
macoyou have the most flowery speech of anyone i've ever met07:48
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SRU07:48
machinaah ok thanks!07:48
machinaI'm following the page here on packaging a new revision, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing, and running debuild -S fails08:46
machinathe last line in the output is this, dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -us -uc -S failed08:47
persiaCould you pastebin a larger chunk of your output (maybe all of it)?08:47
machinasure one sec08:48
machinahttp://pastebin.com/daf89cae08:49
persia"debian/control has a duplicate entry for xsensors" is probably the core error.08:50
persiaBy my reading, the clean: rule contains dh_testdir which is failing because of issues parsing debian/control.08:51
machinaha you're right08:51
persiaAnd that failure stops processing of the clean rule, which stops processing of the build.08:51
machinaturns out there were two repeated paragraphs in the control file, thanks persia08:52
machinahi, I created a debdiff for a new revision that should close Bug #183330 and Bug #73405 , should I just go ahead and post it as a patch to the bug reports?10:03

wrapsterjust a doubt.. apt-get upgrade will upgrade only the already installed pkgs to a higer version right14:33
joaopintowrapster, right14:34
persiaWell, not precisely.14:36
persiaIf the dependencies of a package change between versions, and that package is upgraded, new packages may be installed, and depending on your apt configuration, old packages may be removed.14:37
=== menesis1 is now known as menesis
joaopintopersia, is dist-upgrade required for that ?14:43
joaopintoisn't that the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade ?14:44
persiaNo.14:44
joaopintohum, so what's the difference ?14:45
persiadist-upgrade considers the set of changes differently.14:45
joaopintoI remember usually getting "package kept" when a package pulls a new package14:45
persiaFor a real answer, you'd do best to check the docs, but my understanding is that when you do dist-upgrade, it's more forgiving about removing stuff that other stuff depends upon if that other stuff is also being upgraded and the upgraded version depends on something different.14:45
persiaWhereas an upgrade will happily install new stuff (as long as it doesn't conflict with other stuff) or, depending on apt config, remove stuff that nothing depends upon anymore.14:46
joaopintopersia, from man apt-get14:46
joaopintoupgrade14:46
joaopintounder no14:46
joaopinto           circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages14:46
joaopinto           not already installed retrieved and installed.14:46
joaopintoI believe you are wrong14:47
persiaWell, either I'm wrong or the manpage is wrong.14:48
persiaBut I was sure that I'd seen the install-extra-dependencies behaviour with just an upgrade.14:48
joaopintoI believe you are wrong, because when I need to get a new kernel, which is a new package set as dependency from the kernel metapackage, I need to dist-upgrade14:48
persiaHrm.  Then I'm probably wrong.  I usually use aptitude, which has slightly different semantics and I must be confused.14:49
persiaThanks for the correction.14:50
joaopinto:)14:50
_rubeniirc, aptitude safe-upgrade matches apt-get upgrade .. and aptitude upgrade matches apt-get dist-upgrade .. then again, i never use(d) aptitude :)14:51
persia_ruben: Well, not quite.14:53
persiaIf the man pages are entirely accurage, `aptitude --no-new-installs safe-upgrade` matches `apt-get upgrade`.14:54
_rubenpersia: ah ok .. could be something "new" as well .. my previous line was based on comments i picked up ages ago .. and i might even have misinterpreted those, hence the "iirc" ;)14:55
bddebianHeya gang14:55

bjsnideris mario limonciello in here?18:45
pochusuperm1: ^18:47
superm1what's up bjsnider ?19:00
bjsniderwell, i was looking at some of the changes you made to the nvidia package in your ppa19:01
bjsniderand then i was looking at upstream debian19:01
bjsniderand i wondered which direction this is going to take19:01
bjsniderdebian has created an nvidia-libvdpau-driver package, while you have put the driver into the glx package19:02
bjsnidersame with cuda19:02
bjsnideri can't for the life of me figure out why debian wants to create separate packages for those two things19:02
superm1bjsnider, so actually tseliot is going to be driving the changes for ubuntu, and when me and him last talked we're leaning on everything in an nvidia-XYZ package19:04
superm1glx, vdpau (aside from the stuff in libvdpau), and kernel source19:04
superm1it makes no sense to decouple them19:04
superm1and long term trying to push debian to do the same19:05
superm1the stuff in my PPA is just for karmic so people have a way to use vdpau with myth and nvidia-190, i wouldn't treat it as the long term way of doing things19:05
=== FlannelKing is now known as Flannel
bjsniderbut that is how you're doing things in your ppa19:06
superm1well it's still broken up with kernel source as it's own package19:06
superm1in my PPA19:06
bjsniderso you're planning to put the kernel-source files back into the glx package?19:07
superm1yeah i think that's the best way to go19:07
superm1and the glx package wont be called nvidia-glx-XYZ, it will be nvidia-XYZ19:07
superm1so if people want to switch between free<->nonfree, it's literally just one package to add or remove then, and the conflicts/replaces hopefully wont get messed up19:08
bjsniderthat's amillion miles from upstream debian (right now anyway)19:08
superm1yeah, so it's gonna be a long term goal to push them in this direction19:08
bjsniderthey're also creating an 1a32 package int he control file19:09
superm1unless you are closer with them, and you can help maybe?19:09
bjsnideria32 i mean19:09
bjsniderno, i'm not close with them or anything but i don't want all of the stuff in my ppa to be very far away from what's un ubuntu, or it could cause upgrade issues in the future19:10
superm1right19:10
bjsnideri think it's fairly safe to just use what you're doing in the ppa19:10
superm1well tie off with tseliot next time he's online19:10
superm1in #ubuntu-x usually19:10
superm1he's the one driving most of these changes19:11
bjsnideri don't want to have anything to do with all of that stuff they're doing upstream19:11
superm1we dont really treat debian as an upstream for this package currently19:11
superm1other than the fact that it was pulled from there once for a basis19:11
bjsniderwell, someone should tell them that19:11
superm1bjsnider, well hopefully some day we'll all be back on the same page again19:12
bjsniderit's funny that you're talking about using the version number instead of -glx19:12
superm1but remember they have different goals and schedules, so sometimes it will take time for that to happen19:12
bjsniderbecause they're using -glx and not the version number19:12
bjsnideri don't think scheduling has anything to do witht his particular issue though19:13
bjsnideri have no idea what their golas might be19:13
bjsnidergoals i mean19:13
superm1we're in sync for libvdpau the library at least though19:14
superm1as soon as launchpad can sync a V3 source package, we'll be pulling in their's19:14
bjsnideri'm going to do that right now, but they added a dependency on their nvidia-libvdpau-driver virtual package, which you'll have to remove19:15
bjsnideryou're not creating it19:15
superm1bjsnider, i thought they dropped that http://packages.debian.org/sid/libvdpau119:18
superm1it's a suggests19:18
bjsnideroh right. i was reading it wrong19:20
superm1yeah i raised a bug complaining about that in their first iteration19:20

bjsnidersuperm1, ping22:03
superm1bjsnider, pong22:03
bjsniderwith the .53 driver, nvidia has moved its vdpau driver to /usr/lib/vdpau. is it ok to leave it there in the installation or should i move it or link it to something in /usr/lib?22:04
superm1that's where it should be22:05
superm1the libvdpau in ubuntu and debian expect it there22:05
bjsnidergreat. that means i can actually subtract some lines from the rules file22:06
superm1that rules file is hardcoding Way too much22:06
superm1it needs to evaluate more of this stuff dynamically22:06
superm1even if that means using stuff like debian/install.in and building a debian/install22:06
bjsniderwell, it seems like it doesn't need the version numbers anywhere22:07
superm1but because it's calling out all the stuff to be installed explicitly like that, it's really hard to update when new releases come out22:07
bjsnideryes i know22:07
bjsniderit's a pain22:07
bjsniderand all of the other files too22:07
bjsniderwhy can't we just use all of the .in files?22:08
