suji11hi, already i upload a package here http://revu.ubuntuwire.com for review with the version 1.3.6, now i have to upload the package with Upgrading it to latest upstream version(1.3.8), how to do it?05:45
ScottKsuji11: Just upload it, it will replace the previous one05:48
suji11ScottK: using this command dput revu package_version_source.changes05:52
ScottKYes05:52
suji11ScottK: my packae is here, http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=7253 but it shows some warnings. what to do to resolve that?06:05
RAOFsuji11: Which warning in particular?  They seem fairly self-explanatory to me, but then I've got plenty of experience.06:15
suji11 RAOF: The Maintainer field is invalid. It has to contain an @ubuntu.com address (usually the Ubuntu MOTU Team's). The packager can leave his/her name as XSBC-Original-Maintainer.06:16
suji11RAOF:  I changed the maintainer field in control file as Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>, and upload it again, but also it shows that warning again.06:17
RAOFsuji11: I don't see that upload; the package I see still has you in the Maintainer: field.06:19
suji11RAOF: ya,but when i give this command dput -f revu iok_1.3.8-0ubuntu1_source.changes  it shows "Successfully uploaded packages"06:24
suji11RAOF: and i'm getting the mails also.06:25
suji11RAOF: when i go through the link in my mail, the same content there in the previous upload page.06:26
siretartcrimsun: no idea, I have to admit that I haven't followed openal lately. I should probably have myself removed from the uploaders field06:28
suji11RAOF: on top of the files list Details for upload "iok" from user " suji87-msc" - 21 Dec 2009 06:57 this was changed every time06:29
RAOFsuji11: How are you changing the maintainer?06:33
suji11RAOF: i edit the control file, in the maintainer field i put this Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>06:34
RAOFAnd have you run dpkg-buildpackage again?06:35
suji11RAOF: no06:35
RAOF(Or debuild, or however it is you're building the source package)06:35
RAOFWell, that's the problem; you're uploading the same thing every time :)06:35
RAOFYou need to rebuild the source package to pick up your changes :)06:35
suji11RAOF: oh! ok06:35
suji11RAOF: i will rebuild and upload it again06:35
suji11RAOF: in the maintainer list should i give this Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>  or the mail id is enough06:36
RAOFThat looks right to me.06:37
suji11RAOF: the mail-id only enough?06:37
RAOF"Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>"06:38
suji11RAOF: ok, the warning was cleared http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=7255 . but have three warnings yet. what about that?06:43
suji11RAOF: in the first warning, i check the lintian file, it shows three warnings06:45
suji11RAOF:  I couldn't understand the first warning ,  second  should i change the Standard version as 3.8.3 in control file and  third should i remove the config.log file. am right?06:48
RAOFsuji11: Have you checked out "Debian Policy Manual section 4.11", as suggested by the first warning?06:51
RAOFFor the second one, yes.  You should have the Standards-Version as 3.8.3 (and you should also ensure that the package _complies_ with that standard version; it probably does).06:52
RAOFAnd, yes, as the warning suggests, you should remove the config.log file in the clean: target06:52
suji11The standard version is automatically generated, can i change it manually?06:57
RAOFYes; it's not automatically generated, it's just that the template has an older version.06:58
suji11I checkout the debian policy manual now and here http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-dother.en.html also they said about the file watch.ex . but i remove the all the files with the extension .ex and .EX from the debian directory.06:58
suji11what should i do now?06:59
RAOFWrite a new watch file; they're very easy.06:59
RAOFYou can check out any number of source packages for examples - I know both specto & gnome-do have watch files, for example.06:59
RAOF"man uscan" also has information.06:59
suji11hmmm.. ok07:00
suji11RAOF: ok i will do it and let you know later. Thanks for the help:)07:07
dholbachgood morning08:32
gesergood morning08:38
dholbachhey geser08:38
suji11RAFO: i added the watch file, then again i upload my package? or do anything before that?09:06
suji11RAFO: i added the watch file and upload the package again http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=7256 now i have 1 warning yet. What is that?09:15
slytherinsuji11: Have you read the warning?09:16
suji11slytherin: yes, it means the bug should fixed in launchpad which is this package is needed, am right?09:18
slytherinsuji11: Is there a bug in launchpad corresponding to this package?09:19
suji11slytherin: couldn't get...09:20
suji11slytherin: i upload this package in launchpad ppa, is  there a bug in it?09:20
slytherinsuji11: Is there a bug filed in launchpad that says 'Please package iok'?09:21
suji11slytherin: no, i think.09:21
slytherinsuji11: It is preferable that you file such a bug before starting to work on a new package so that others know that you are working on it. Also this bug needs to be mentioned in debian/changelog using format - LP: #nnnnnn09:22
suji11slytherin: oh! should i file that? or some others should file that?09:23
slytherinsuji11: see if there is already such a bug. if not then file it.09:26
suji11slytherin: ok, how to know or search already a bug is there relate to this or not?09:27
slytherinsuji11: Just search for iok. :-)09:27

lazkaHi guys, I'm trying to automate my package build.. does anyone know how to pass my password to dpkg-buildpackage for signing?09:58
lazkaor point me to examples09:58
slytherinlazka: Are you using some password agent like seahorse?10:06
lazkaslytherin, yes, it picks up my key id and everything but asks me for the password10:07
slytherinlazka: You can use seahorse for password caching. You can check caching preferences from System -> Preferences -> Encryption and Keyrings.10:10
lazkaslytherin, ok thanks, but I don't have that entry, do you meen in seehorse?10:13
slytherinlazka: Do you have seahorse package installed?10:14

lazkahm.. no10:23
lazkadamn10:23
lazkaslytherin, the package was seahorse-plugins10:50
slytherinOk.10:50
lazkabut it's not caching anything10:54

dhillon-v10hi all, I am trying to package a .jar file into debian package, what should I put in the debian/rules file19:26
c_korndhillon-v10: as I told you. cp /usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.tiny debian/rules19:32
dhillon-v10c_korn, hi there sorry my client quit for some reason :D19:33
c_korndhillon-v10: in ubuntu 9.10 you already have debhelper 7. you just need to make use of its features.19:34
c_korndhillon-v10: change debian/compat to contain "7" and change the debhelper dependency in debian/control to debhelper (>= 7)19:34
dhillon-v10c_korn, alright, just a sec. then19:34
ScottKdhillon-v10: Java .jars are binary files.  You need to start from source.19:39
dhillon-v10c_korn, I did the changes you suggested now this happens: http://pastebin.com/d57cfd77d19:40
dhillon-v10ScottK, that bluej on the upstream website has a .deb and this .jar file that's it should I extract the jar file and continue as regular package19:40
ScottKNo, you should get the source.19:41
=== mac_v_ is now known as mac_v
dhillon-v10ScottK, hey I am getting errors on debuild why is that happening: http://pastebin.com/d57cfd77d19:50
geserdhillon-v10: line 22 of your paste20:04
dhillon-v10geser, ahh smart :D20:05
dhillon-v10geser, alright I made a change, I extracted the jar file and put the source in a directory with a debian folder. Now debuild works fine, but when I issue a pbuilder command, it builds a .deb that's only 1.8 kb while the jar file was 5.3 mgs20:07
geserI'm not an Java expert but doesn't a .jar file contain the compiled .class files and not the .java files?20:10
maxbgeser, Correct, although sometimes .jar files containing .java files are used as input for IDEs to allow them to provide source browsing.20:13
geserdhillon-v10: you have the .java files, right? and from them you build the new .jar which you put into the .deb?20:14
maxbdhillon-v10, You need to clarify whether you're actually trying to produce a package for submission for Ubuntu, including actually building the software from source, or if you're just hacking up an encapsulation of prebuilt binaries into a .deb, which would not be acceptable for Ubuntu.20:15
dhillon-v10geser, I don't have the .java file for some reason20:16
dhillon-v10maxb, I am trying to build a package for Ubuntu, this was a bug that needed packaging, but the upstream website has a .deb package build for users.20:17
dhillon-v10geser, the package only has .class files20:17
maxbdhillon-v10: You must be able to build the software from source, if it is free software20:17
geserthen that's not the source as you can't modify it (e.g. apply a patch)20:18
dhillon-v10maxb, this is what the website says: Currently, the full BlueJ source is not available. However, the source of the editor is.20:18
maxbOr is it not free software?20:18
maxbYou would need to consult the guidelines for whether it is acceptable into multiverse, or is not distributable at all, then20:19
dhillon-v10wait alright I got the right package, sorry :P20:19
geserdhillon-v10: www.bluej.org?20:19
ajmitchdid you get it from http://www.bluej.org/download/source-download.html ?20:19
dhillon-v10geser, yah, I got the wrong package20:19
dhillon-v10sorry guys, I did get the right package, it has a src folder and a bunch of .java files :D20:19
punkrockguy3__Hey, I'm a developer on the fceu project (nes emulator).  How can I get someone to package the newest version of my program for its universe inclusion?20:28
