dhillon-v10hi all, is it possible to adopt a debian package while running Ubuntu I don't think it is but please explain why or why not02:22
bjsnideryou mean install?02:23
=== tuantub_ is now known as tuantub
bddebiandhillon-v10: Anyone can adopt a package but you must test on Debian and sync to Ubuntu or you may have issues.03:09
dhillon-v10bddebian, can I make a debian chroot maybe, the instructions for adopting the package are * really * confusing so I was hoping for a simplified version of that03:10
bddebianSure or pbuilder03:11
dhillon-v10bddebian, do you have like 5 minutes of time, I need some help on how to adopt a package03:12
bddebianIf the package is orphaned it isn't too difficult.  Add your changelog entry stating you are adopting the package and close the O: bug.03:12
bddebianOf course you will need to find a Debian sponsor to upload it if you are not a DD.03:13
dhillon-v10bddebian, yah exactly its orphaned so then I change the maintainer field right and report that in the changelog as well, then ask one of my friends to upload the package and close the bug right :D03:14
bddebianYep03:15
dhillon-v10bddebian, so what are the tasks that a maintainer has to do, I am not too good with packaging stuff03:15
bddebianThen why would you want to adopt it?03:16
bddebianMaintenance includes fixing bugs in the package, keeping it up to date with policy, new upstream releases, etc03:17
dhillon-v10bddebian, its something I work with a lot, docbook stuff, I mean I can package software, I have done so in the past but the fixing bugs part, I am unsure about that03:18
bddebianWell if it makes you feel any better, I'm a DD and I can't fix much. :)03:20
dhillon-v10bddebian, nice :D but you are probably like a million time better than me so I still feel dumb :)03:21
bddebianI'd take that bet. :)03:21
dhillon-v10bddebian, check this out its awesome: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/computers03:22
bddebianHeh, sounds familiar :)03:24
dhillon-v10bddebian, yup happens to me a lot, especially after having migrated to Ubuntu :D03:25

ScottKhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BddebianIsAGod03:38
bddebianbah03:39
* bddebian runs away03:39
dhillon-v10bddebian, I am gonna be one of your fans as well :D you indeed are awesome, I asked the same question on #debian and their response was "no" just that "no"03:45
bddebianWell Debian isn't the most accepting of us n00bs unfortunately.03:48
dhillon-v10bddebian, alright one job done right: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BddebianIsAGod now back to filing sync reports :D03:48
