evfirethere are two patches, I don't know if they're good09:57
fabrice_spthopiekar, or arch=any?09:57
thopiekarfabrice_sp: it is at all a "multi - source - package"09:58

fabrice_spthopiekar, it's not building anything in adm64. Only cleaning. Are you sure the package builds fine in amd64?09:59
thopiekarfor sure.. it's working well on my x64 computer.10:00

evfireit's 7mbytes...10:02
fabrice_spnop :-)10:03
evfirebetter :D10:03
fabrice_spthopiekar, why is binary-arch emplty?10:03
thopiekarfabrice_sp: at the beginning I wasn't using something like "binary-arch" but the launchpad builders said that they can'T find "binary-arch" in the rules file so I added this "dummy"..10:05
evfirefabrice_sp, updated10:05
thopiekarI'm building 4 different versions of navit .. so but I'm think it should be possible to get the opengl and sdl versions together, but I will have to talk with the devs of navit about it first..10:08
thopiekarhave you found the problem?10:08
evfirefabrice_sp, is it ok for uploading now?10:14
fabrice_spevfire, I need to have a deeper look before uploading it, but a quick look does not show anything big10:15
fabrice_spthopiekar, you should build your package in binary-arch target10:15
evfireokay :)10:15
fabrice_spand use -install files instead of all that cp commands10:16
fabrice_spevfire, I have to attend my family now, but will have a deeper look later :-)10:16
evfire:D10:16
evfiregood new year, anyway10:17
thopiekarfabrice_sp: so the line 208 should be called "binary-arch: binary", right?10:17
fabrice_spthopiekar, please, have alook at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html, debian/rules part to understand what you should do10:19
fabrice_spbinary, binary-arch and build target is explained10:20
geserthopiekar: the i386 buildd uses the "binary" target while the others (like amd64) use the "binary-arch" target10:29
thopiekarand after "binary-arch" "binary-indep", right?10:30
geseryou need to arrange that the arch:any package are created in binary-arch while the arch:all packages are in binarry-indep and binary depends on both (so both arch:all and arch:any are build on i386)10:31
thopiekargood - seems that I catched what the debian-policy-page says.. on i386 "binary" will be call which all was points to "binary-arch" and "binary-indep", but on other targets it calls "binary-arch" and "binary-indep" seperatly.10:32
geseryes (but as the architecture-independent (arch:all) packages got already build, binary-indep is not called once again)10:34
thopiekarso if there are arch:all and arch:any packages listed in [debain/control] it should run "binary-indep" after "binary-arch", right?10:37
thopiekaryour message, geser, is confusing me :P10:38
geserthe i386 buildds calls always the "binary" target which is often "binary: binary-arch binary-indep" in debian/rules. And "binary-arch" and "binary-indep" do the real work. On the other architectures the buildd uses always only "binary-arch"10:41
thopiekarok got that but what about "binary-indep" in other archs?10:42
geserit's not called as the i386 buildd already build the arch:all packages10:43
thopiekaraha!10:44
thopiekarmakes sense..10:45
geserbinary-arch <=> build arch:any packages, binary-indep <=> build arch:all packages10:45
thopiekarotherwise it would create the same files again..10:45
geseryes10:45
thopiekarthanks geser, fabrice_sp10:46
geserif you have pbuilder, you can use "pbuilder build" for n build like on the i386 buildd and "pbuilder build --binary-arch" for a build like on amd64 to test if your package will build in both cases successfully10:47
thopiekaris it possible to crossbuild with it, too?11:21
thopiekarmaybe to armel? I would like to build into armel for Nokia Internet Tablets...11:22
thopiekar:/ fixed my problem with binary-arch and -indep but I get the same problem like before..11:24
thopiekarhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/37323660/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-amd64.navit_0.1.1-1ubuntu0karmic5_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz11:24
gesercan you pastebin your current debian/rules?11:29
geserI've the suspicion that you missed -a (and -i) to some dh_* calls11:30
thopiekargeser: for sure - mom11:36
thopiekarhttp://pastebin.com/d489fbce411:37
thopiekarI just see now that I haven't corrected .PHONY ..11:38
thopiekarbtw. I taked with users at #ubuntu.de about .PHONY but we haven't come to an end what .PHONY really is for.. so could you please tell me what .PHONY is for?11:39
geserthopiekar: as I'm very familiar with Makefiles, I'd have to read it up myself and hope to understand it11:40
geserif you look at your binary-arch target it depends on your install.* targets but it doesn't build any debs11:41
geserhave you tried taking a look at an existing package to see how they do it?11:42
thopiekarno11:42
thopiekarI think binary.pkg would package everything for me..11:43
geseryes, but you depend only in your binary target on it11:44
geserbinary-arch has no dependency on it11:44
geserand if you don't specify anything dh_ operates on *all* packages in debian/control11:44
thopiekarso I should make deb-files after a install.* has finished?11:45
geserbut as you don't build arch:all packages on the amd64 buildd you need to tell it to operate only on arch:any packages (-a)11:45
geserlet me find an example11:47
thopiekarbtw. do you know a package that builds debs like I need to do? I could take a look at the rules file of that pkg how they build it...11:47
thopiekaryeah, thanks11:47
geserhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/tea/lucid/annotate/head%3A/debian/rules11:51
geserlook at the binary, binary-arch and binary-indep targets11:51
thopiekaraah!11:52
geserthe binary-arch targets calls the dh_ scripts to work on arch:any packages (-a), and the binary-indep targets specifies to work in arch:all packages (-i)11:52
geserthe binary target makes sure that both (binary-arch and binary-indep) are called (e.g. for the i386 build)11:53
thopiekarbut it doesn't matter that they use first of all binary-indep then binary-arch, right? I'm asking that because we said that it should be called binary: binary-arch binary-indep11:54
geserthe order shouldn't matter11:54
thopiekargreat! thanks again geser!11:55
thopiekarI will try that out on my debian/rules11:55
geserthopiekar: is your navit the same navit as in Debian? (http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/navit.html)12:29
thopiekarIn Debian it's the current svn version and navit in Debian isn't even providing the osd-layouts..12:30
thopiekarI've added them in may package build..12:30
geserok12:31
thopiekargeser it's working! thanks again! ppa:thopiekar/navit12:53
sebnergeser: bahh, how is the correct usage of --logfile? I use sudo puilder --logfile /home/sebner/log build foo.dsc and it's not working (starting even)12:55

davromaniakhi22:45
davromaniakI would like to know if anybody bought a Landscape licence, and the cost, to have a speedy estimation22:46
davromaniak(dedicated server edition)22:47
jbicha1prob $150 per "node" http://www.canonical.com/projects/landscape/dedicated-server22:48
davromaniakjbicha1: what is a "node"22:50
davromaniakis it a "master machine", which hosts the landscape server, or a "client machine" which is monitored using landscape22:50
jbicha1each client I thought22:50
davromaniakargh22:50
davromaniakI think I will contact the sales service to have an estimated cost which can be announced and dislayed to my chief22:53
jbicha1good idea22:53
davromaniaklandscape covers the features we need in our company network as all the computers (except for 3 persons) are running under linux, and will be migrated to ubuntu this year22:54
davromaniakespecially when we have to deploy some security upgrades22:55
davromaniakcssh with a generic account on every machine can do the trick, but we need something "official"22:56
davromaniakand userfriendly enough to be able to give this task to a newcomer in the sysadmin service, :)22:58

xnoxyou can do it for free now and very user friendly23:01
xnoxapt in ubuntu supports this23:01
davromaniakdo you have any howto I can rely on it to do a presentation to my chief ?23:01
xnoxare you running ubuntu now?23:01

xnoxin that file23:02
xnoxyou define "safe" repositories and/or block some packages23:02
davromaniakok23:02
davromaniakfor example, we can block kernel upgrade which will require a reboot23:03
xnoxthan at each boot they are refreshed and upgrade from those destinations are performed23:03
xnoxand the root user is sent unix mail23:03
xnoxI have it forwarded to my gmail23:03
xnoxSo sometimes I get emails that this and that packages have been upgraded23:03
davromaniak:)23:03
xnoxtry it out on your machine23:04
davromaniakI will try it monday, when I'll be back at the office, :)23:04
xnoxdavromaniak: kernel doesn't requite update23:04
xnoxif unattended upgrade happens23:04
xnoxnext time machine is booted it is booted with new kernel23:05
davromaniakI also have to "reconstruct" the backup system, and it takes a large amount of time23:05
davromaniakxnox: the problem is the machines don't have to be shutdown23:05
xnoxunless you are running custom kernels....23:05
xnoxdavromaniak: good luck ;-)23:05
davromaniak(developers and admins are allowed to access it using a VPN connection)23:05
xnoxdavromaniak: landscape imho is good when you have more than 100 computers with different configurations23:06
xnoxand different physical locations23:06
davromaniak:)23:07
xnoxif you are in one building and it's less than 100 you can easily set it up to be managable23:07
davromaniakwe have offices is Paris and New York23:07
xnoxI do suggest having /home mounted on NFS and pulled from server that you back up23:07
xnoxthat way you can nuke any machine and get anyone back to their "computer" with any harddrive ;-)23:08
davromaniaknot exactly /home, but the home directory is in a NFS file server, which he's backuped every night, :)23:08
davromaniakso somebody can crush his system, we "only" need to reinstall it (using PXE of course, ^^)23:09

micahgis it common to have the minimum debhelper version as a package dep on the -dev package with it's own debhelper script?23:23
geserhmm, doing the first european upload in 2010 would be nice :) (if nobody was faster)23:23
micahgsebner: ^^23:24
xnoxmicahg: yeap and merge if you can sponsor it23:24
* xnox got disconnected for a sec23:24
* micahg can't sponsor it, but I have a few comments that I'm adding to the merge23:25
micahggeser: could you answer the question I posted above?23:26
sebnergeser: go go go23:27
geseryou have a -dev package shipping a dh_ scrip?23:28
micahggeser: xnox wants to add dh_xulrunner to xulrunner-dev23:28
micahgso I'm wondering what standard procedure is for depends/suggest/recommends debhelper23:28
xnoxgeser: yes that's the standard way to extend dh23:28
xnoxeg. quilt package ships dh --with quilt23:29
xnoxand the dh_patch dh_unpatch23:29
xnoxand the updated sequence where/when to plug those it23:29
xnoxdh_xulrunner acts in a similar way23:29
xnoxit is run after shlibdeps, it scans all binaries, tries to identify whether xulrunner was used and adds correct xulrunner package as dependency23:30
xnoxsuch that manual NMU are not required anymore.....23:30
geserI'm not familiar with "extending" debhelper, sorry23:30
xnoxwhich is new in the latest xulrunner-dev in debian they did it with xulrunner-1.9.1 transition23:31
* xnox will shut up now23:31
* xnox noticed that 2010 is not up on irclogs.ubuntu.com23:31
micahgit's not 2010 yet23:31
geserhere is :)23:32
* micahg will research a little23:32
jmarsdenResearch whether it is 2010 yet? :)23:32
xnoxmicahg: there shouldn't be any d/s/r on debhelper23:33
micahgxnox: don't you need it to use dh_xulrunner?23:33
xnoxit's an optional plugin which debhelper will pick up at runtime (that is buildtime of other packages)23:33
xnoxeg. I can develop using xulrunner-dev and just use tha23:33
xnoxthat23:33
xnoxbut when I'm building a debian package and if I'm using debhelper (I will depend on it already) I will be able to do dh --with xulrunner23:34
xnoxif I want to23:34
xnoxlook at quilt package ;-)23:34
xnoxand python-support / python-central23:34
micahgxnox: yes, but I'm wondering if dh_xulrunner uses any fancy features of debhelper23:34
xnoxthey add the python stuff23:34
xnoxplus this is not something I created23:35
micahgxnox: since we backport xulrunner all the way to hardy, we should mention is there is a minimum version of debhelper necessary to use it23:35
xnoxit's "merge from Debian"23:35
micahg*if there is23:35
xnoxalthought we do our xulrunner from scratch23:36
micahgxnox: ok, I commented on teh merge23:37
micahgxnox: with the changes I commented in the merge, +1 from me, but I'll let asac do the actual merge and push in case I missed something, he should be available tomorrow23:41
