dhillon-v10 | hi all, is it possible to adopt a debian package while running Ubuntu I don't think it is but please explain why or why not | 02:22 |

bjsnider | you mean install? | 02:23 |

bddebian | dhillon-v10: Anyone can adopt a package but you must test on Debian and sync to Ubuntu or you may have issues. | 03:09 |
dhillon-v10 | bddebian, 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 that | 03:10 |
bddebian | Sure or pbuilder | 03:11 |
dhillon-v10 | bddebian, do you have like 5 minutes of time, I need some help on how to adopt a package | 03:12 |
bddebian | If 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 |
bddebian | Of course you will need to find a Debian sponsor to upload it if you are not a DD. | 03:13 |
dhillon-v10 | bddebian, 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 :D | 03:14 |
bddebian | Yep | 03:15 |
dhillon-v10 | bddebian, so what are the tasks that a maintainer has to do, I am not too good with packaging stuff | 03:15 |
bddebian | Then why would you want to adopt it? | 03:16 |
bddebian | Maintenance includes fixing bugs in the package, keeping it up to date with policy, new upstream releases, etc | 03:17 |
dhillon-v10 | bddebian, 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 that | 03:18 |
bddebian | Well if it makes you feel any better, I'm a DD and I can't fix much. :) | 03:20 |
dhillon-v10 | bddebian, nice :D but you are probably like a million time better than me so I still feel dumb :) | 03:21 |
bddebian | I'd take that bet. :) | 03:21 |
dhillon-v10 | bddebian, check this out its awesome: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/computers | 03:22 |
bddebian | Heh, sounds familiar :) | 03:24 |
dhillon-v10 | bddebian, yup happens to me a lot, especially after having migrated to Ubuntu :D | 03:25 |
ScottK | bddebian is a god and we have documentation to prove it. | 03:37 |
ScottK | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BddebianIsAGod | 03:38 |
bddebian | bah | 03:39 |
* bddebian runs away | 03:39 | |
dhillon-v10 | bddebian, 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 |
bddebian | Well Debian isn't the most accepting of us n00bs unfortunately. | 03:48 |
dhillon-v10 | bddebian, alright one job done right: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BddebianIsAGod now back to filing sync reports :D | 03:48 |

lfaraone | Should a SRU patch be in debdiff format? | 21:15 |
geser | ask the SRU people if they prefer a debdiff or a merge proposal | 21:16 |
lfaraone | geser: merge proposal? | 21:16 |
geser | get the bzr branch, do your changes, push it to your LP account, seek sponsorship | 21:17 |
ScottK | lfaraone: I don't think there are any potential sponsors that don't know how to deal with a debdiff. For merge proposals the set of potential sponsors is smaller. | 21:17 |

lfaraone | ScottK: if I'm not in MOTU, do I need my SRU sponsored before subscribing ~ubuntu-sru? | 21:26 |

micahg | well, hardy and karmic end desktop support at the same time | 22:11 |

wgrant | I guess it's possible that you could convince people to backport the necessary patches. But that's an #ubuntu-devel question. A scary one. | 22:12 |

ari-tczew | why this didn't automatically? | 23:44 |
geser | ajmitch: ari-tczew doesn't use manpages as he said | 23:45 |

ajmitch | geser: that's unfortunate | 23:45 |
jibel | ScottK, fine, I'm not familiar with java stuff. | 23:46 |
jibel | ScottK, another question, if the previous upload to -proposed FTBFS, do I need to increase the ubuntu version by one for the new patch or leave the same as the previous upload ? | 23:46 |
ScottK | jibel: Increase it. | 23:46 |
geser | jibel: once a version number got accepted (successfully uploaded) you need to increase it | 23:47 |
asac | Lutin: right | 23:48 |
ari-tczew | ajmitch: ah, so do I need to create manage-credentials | 23:48 |
geser | read the manpage, damn it | 23:50 |
geser | there is even an example you can copy & paste for use with ubuntu-dev-tools | 23:50 |
ScottK | james_w: When you're around, I'm trying to merge via bzr and getting some odd results. My clamsmpt merge seems to have a stack of .svn dirs in it that neither Ubuntu nor Debian currently ship (IIRC, upstream left these in, in a previous release). | 23:50 |

geser | ari-tczew: I think it's not about your private data, but more about private bugs, etc. to which you wouldn't have access if not logged in | 23:54 |
Quintasan | What's with revu key? | 23:55 |
geser | revu key? you mean the import of your gpg key into revu? it's done automatically on your first login (so go a login once before you upload your first package) | 23:56 |
Quintasan | geser: nah, the key just changed, and I figured out that revu still doesn't accept source format 3.0 | 23:58 |
