Some_Person | I'm trying to upload a rather large package, but it keeps stalling. I'm uploading using dput, and it stops at ``Uploading supertux_0.3.2-SVN~r6246.tar.gz: 148569k/148570k'' | 04:30 |
Some_Person | It just sits there, doing nothing | 04:31 |
Some_Person | Is there any way to upload it to my PPA without dput? | 05:04 |

shadeslayer | maxb: well i dont have a question,more of a request | 11:11 |
shadeslayer | i wanted to change my lp url and have a PPA deleted which has never had published packages | 11:12 |
maxb | The question tracker does double duty for that too | 11:12 |

maxb | shadeslayer: You've given a choice of names... I'd imagine the admins will end up asking you which one you actually want | 11:19 |
shadeslayer | well its in the order of prefrence | 11:19 |
shadeslayer | maxb: ive added a comment :) | 11:21 |
steffan | maxb: is it possible to assign a question to a certain group of people such as the LOSAs, or can only certain people do that? | 11:26 |
=== shadeslayer is now known as shadeslayer_ | ||
maxb | Only certain people. Which is slightly annoying if you know your question is to the LOSAs, but on the other hand, I guess it makes sense for the LOSAs to be confronted with only a pre-triaged list of questions, given how busy they can be. | 11:32 |
steffan | maxb: I'm sure that function is restricted for a certain reason, I was just wondering | 11:43 |

troy43 | Hi!, some expert in PPA?, I own a PPA to distribute my program, it has a jaunty published package, how can I updated it to karmic? Am I supposed to recompile it in a karmic pc and upload it again or can the ubuntu buildroots do this for me from the ppa webpage? | 20:38 |
maxb | You can copy a source package including its built binaries from one distroseries to another from the /+copy-packages subpage of a PPA | 20:39 |
geser | maxb: but if troy43 really needs a rebuild an new upload (with a bumped version) is necessary | 20:40 |
maxb | If the package is such that it needs to rebuilt for karmic, you must increment the version number and reupload | 20:40 |
troy43 | and what is the criteria for "it needs to rebuilt"? I mean the dependencies of my program hasn't changed, and were present in jaunty and also in karmic.. | 20:42 |
geser | library transition for example | 20:42 |
troy43 | it only depends in libglade, libcurl and libpcre.. all those are well known packages in jaunty and karmic.. | 20:43 |
maxb | For a C program, it's largely whether any dependencies have changed their soname | 20:43 |
maxb | A reasonable option is to install the jaunty .deb on a karmic system and check it works | 20:43 |
troy43 | geser: I tried the "Copy package" with the option "Rebuild the copied sources" enabled, but gives me the error: "The following source cannot be copied:* myprogram 1.2.0ppa in jaunty (same version already has published binaries in the destination archive)" | 20:47 |
maxb | Indeed. You cannot rebuild sources within the same PPA | 20:47 |
maxb | Nor should you ever rebuild sources with the same version number except in very special circumstances | 20:47 |
maxb | The reason for this is that by creating multiple .debs with the same name and version number, you confuse both humans and software | 20:48 |
maxb | You must either copy including the existing binaries, or reupload a new version | 20:48 |
geser | not to mention that you can't store two different files with the same name in one directory | 20:49 |
troy43 | maxb: But the last version of my program hasnt change from jaunty to karmic, I mean, there's not been new versions of my program, I just want to distribute it now to karmic users.. | 20:49 |
maxb | But a rebuild would create new binaries. It would be erroneous to have two different binary packages that were named identically | 20:50 |
geser | you only need a new "revision" of your package (revision = the part after the last - in the version string) | 20:50 |
maxb | What is the exact version string of your current package? | 20:50 |
troy43 | maxb: fair enough, thanks for the explanation, the error should give some hints.. because | 20:50 |
troy43 | the "copy existing binaries" felt like wrong to me because I thought a program compile for jaunty wouldnt work in karmic.. it seems I was wrong.. | 20:53 |
maxb | troy43: Remember that karmic started its life as a copy of jaunty | 20:54 |
troy43 | maxb: Ok, thanks very much for the information :-), nobody in #ubuntu could answer me.. | 20:57 |
Some_Person | How many PPAs can one person have? | 20:58 |
troy43 | geser: thanks for your answers too, I will try to avoid to make a new revision, I'm going now to try the "Copy existing binaries" option.. | 20:59 |
* micahg is up to 7 Some_Person | 21:04 | |
Some_Person | What is the "lpia" build? | 21:07 |
micahg | Some_Person: lpia is an Intel low power arch, it is no longer supported in Lucid on | 21:08 |
troy43 | the "Copy existing binaries" option worked like a charm, I now have karmic packages of my program, I've install it an works well.. Thanks!! | 21:16 |
troy43 | Although I had to install it with apt-get from the commanline, because the Ubuntu Software Center didn't bring results when searching for my program.. | 21:17 |
micahg | what are the rules for a display name in LP? | 21:45 |
* micahg thinks he found a violation | 21:45 | |
jml | micahg, rules, you say | 21:50 |
jml | micahg, there might not be rules per se. | 21:50 |
micahg | jml, is this a problem? https://edge.launchpad.net/~newacct | 21:50 |
jml | micahg, yeah, it is. | 21:51 |
micahg | :), can you take care of it please? | 21:51 |
jml | micahg, there's certainly the implicit rule of "Don't be a dick" | 21:51 |
micahg | jml: I'm sure that was no pun intended ;) | 21:51 |
jml | micahg, I'll see what I can do. | 21:51 |
micahg | thanks | 21:52 |
jml | micahg, I need a LOSA to do it. There won't be one around for another couple of hours. | 21:55 |
jml | micahg, the comments made by that user are all reasonable. it's probably not an abuse account. | 21:59 |
micahg | jml: I know, that's the weird thing | 22:07 |
micahg | I was going to send a comment, but I didn't feel I had sufficient authority to do so | 22:07 |
Some_Person | I uploaded a package for karmic. Can I make it also build a version for lucid without reuploading anything? | 22:12 |
Some_Person | It would be a waste just to edit the changelog and reupload | 22:12 |
geser | you can copy the source package + binary debs to lucid if you don't need a recompile | 22:13 |
jml | micahg, well, any one in the community has authority to ask questions like "you seem like a nice person, why do you have such an unusual and often offensive nick name?" | 22:15 |
micahg | jml: k | 22:15 |
* jml -> cafe w/ internet | 22:19 | |
micahg | jml: so, should I do that or wait for a LOSA? | 22:19 |
jml | micahg, Do it now, I reckon. Can you please CC me? | 22:20 |
micahg | jml: can I do that through the interface? | 22:20 |
jml | micahg, CC me, no. | 22:21 |
jml | micahg, I guess I have special email address viewing powers. | 22:21 |
micahg | jml: ok, so what to do? | 22:21 |
jml | micahg, just send it, and then let me know how it goes :) | 22:22 |
micahg | jml: k | 22:22 |
jml | micahg, thanks! :) | 22:22 |
micahg | jml: I can copy you if there is a back and forth | 22:22 |
jml | micahg, that'd be great, thanks. | 22:22 |
jml | micahg, anyway, I've really got to go. If I don't leave the house I'll never feel like I've started work. :) | 22:23 |
micahg | jml: I have the same problem, but I have a flat tire :) | 22:23 |
geser | excuses :) | 22:28 |
Some_Person | Can I copy the package and have it recompile it? | 22:37 |
Some_Person | I just tried copying with the binaries and my ubuntu doesn't like it | 22:38 |
geser | no, as you can't have two different debs with the same version (and therefore file name) | 22:40 |
geser | and the package manager wouldn't like it either (think of someone using your PPA and they update from karmic to lucid) | 22:41 |
Some_Person | so I need to change the version number and the distribution and then reupload? | 22:43 |
geser | yes | 22:43 |
jml | good morning Launchpadders | 22:58 |
micahg | jml: what tz are you? | 23:01 |
jml | micahg, AEST, UTC+11 | 23:01 |

micahg | ah | 23:02 |
Some_Person | urgh, "dpkg-deb - error: Debian revision (`ppa') doesn't contain any digits" | 23:14 |
maxb | what is your full version string? | 23:20 |
jml | micahg, our friendly neighbourhood losa has changed the account name and sent an email to ~newacct explaining why. | 23:35 |
micahg | jml: ok, thanks | 23:35 |
hggdh | Can someone please suspend pstone78 from launchpad *now*? User is, er, spamming bugs with dangerous instructions -- see http://tinyurl.com/ycke5as | 23:36 |
spm | hggdh: looking | 23:41 |
jml | spm, hggdh, he seems to have stopped over half an hour ago. | 23:41 |
jml | hggdh, I think suspending is a bit heavy-handed, tbh. | 23:42 |
hggdh | jml if s/he has stopped, I agree. I just sent an email to her/him asking to stop, and to go to #ubuntu-bugs to discuss | 23:42 |
spm | jml: agreed. the person means well by my read - if the suggestions are poor, a more accurate response in the threads in question would be better. | 23:42 |
jml | hggdh, cool, thanks. | 23:43 |
jml | hggdh, after all, if we suspended everyone who gave bad advice... | 23:43 |
hggdh | spm, jml: yes, I am going to each one of the bugs and will ask for his comments to be disregarded | 23:43 |
jml | (also, I've been trying so hard to avoid gender-specific pronouns today...) | 23:43 |
hggdh | jml: one bad advice is no big deal, 16 of them starts to be | 23:44 |
jml | hggdh, heh. actually, I'd be more likely to suspend for copy/pasting instructions rather than linking:) | 23:44 |
hggdh | heh... sometimes it is not worth the trouble, to be gender-neutral | 23:44 |
hggdh | jml: BTW, please do not suspend me (I am copying & pasting a warning on the 16 bugs) ;-) | 23:50 |
jml | hggdh, I won't :) | 23:50 |
* hggdh gratefully bows | 23:51 |
