[00:18] you need to use debuild -S -sa [04:30] 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'' [04:31] It just sits there, doing nothing [05:04] Is there any way to upload it to my PPA without dput? === TheUni_ is now known as TheUni === TheUni_ is now known as TheUni [11:02] hi any launchpad admins here? === sale_ is now known as sale [11:11] shadeslayer: Unlikely on a weekend. File a question in the tracker. https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion [11:11] maxb: well i dont have a question,more of a request [11:12] i wanted to change my lp url and have a PPA deleted which has never had published packages [11:12] The question tracker does double duty for that too [11:12] oh cool :) [11:17] https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/96021 [11:17] maxb: thats enough info right? ^^ [11:19] 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] well its in the order of prefrence [11:21] maxb: ive added a comment :) [11:26] 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? === shadeslayer is now known as shadeslayer_ [11:32] 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. [11:43] maxb: I'm sure that function is restricted for a certain reason, I was just wondering [12:30] All greetings. How can I delete team on launchpad? [12:31] Hello together! [12:32] A4Tech: i think i asked the same question a year ago. They told me there is no way at the moment. But it was last year ;) [12:37] Demophobie Very sad =( [12:40] Demophobie: Did you file a question last year? [12:41] o! In any case, developers know all the functions ... :) /me went to #launchpad-dev [12:42] A4Tech, Demophobie: An admin can disable (ie. make disappear) a team for you. Ask a question at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion [12:45] Ah. Okay. [12:46] However, i have problems with my language queue [12:46] lp does not import our po's automatically. i updated them yesterday in our branch === EsatYuce is now known as Esat === Esat is now known as EsatYuce === EsatYuce is now known as Esat === Esat is now known as EsatYuce [15:08] Does launchpad have keyword replacement for version numbers like in svn? [16:14] rioch: There is a bzr plugin that provides the feature: http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/KeywordExpansion === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:27] how can I prevent bazaar from uploading .pyc files to launchpad? [17:28] rioch, bzr should ignore pyc files by default [17:29] ah great :) [18:04] I have a problem with the lp-project-upload script [18:04] > An error happened in the upload: signature_content: Cannot upload files larger than 1024 bytes [18:18] hi. i've just starting using bzr 2.0 on windows (upgrading from bzr 1.x), but am running into some problem with ssh auth on launchpad [18:19] i'm using paramiko now rather than plink, as well [18:19] Permission denied (publickey). [18:19] is the error i get [20:38] 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? [20:39] You can copy a source package including its built binaries from one distroseries to another from the /+copy-packages subpage of a PPA [20:40] maxb: but if troy43 really needs a rebuild an new upload (with a bumped version) is necessary [20:40] If the package is such that it needs to rebuilt for karmic, you must increment the version number and reupload [20:42] 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] library transition for example [20:43] it only depends in libglade, libcurl and libpcre.. all those are well known packages in jaunty and karmic.. [20:43] For a C program, it's largely whether any dependencies have changed their soname [20:43] A reasonable option is to install the jaunty .deb on a karmic system and check it works [20:47] 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] Indeed. You cannot rebuild sources within the same PPA [20:47] Nor should you ever rebuild sources with the same version number except in very special circumstances [20:48] 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] You must either copy including the existing binaries, or reupload a new version [20:49] not to mention that you can't store two different files with the same name in one directory [20:49] 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.. [20:50] But a rebuild would create new binaries. It would be erroneous to have two different binary packages that were named identically [20:50] you only need a new "revision" of your package (revision = the part after the last - in the version string) [20:50] What is the exact version string of your current package? [20:50] maxb: fair enough, thanks for the explanation, the error should give some hints.. because [20:53] 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.. [20:54] troy43: Remember that karmic started its life as a copy of jaunty [20:57] maxb: Ok, thanks very much for the information :-), nobody in #ubuntu could answer me.. [20:58] How many PPAs can one person have? [20:59] 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.. [21:04] * micahg is up to 7 Some_Person [21:07] What is the "lpia" build? [21:08] Some_Person: lpia is an Intel low power arch, it is no longer supported in Lucid on [21:16] 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!! [21:17] 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.. [21:45] what are the rules for a display name in LP? [21:45] * micahg thinks he found a violation [21:50] micahg, rules, you say [21:50] micahg, there might not be rules per se. [21:50] jml, is this a problem? https://edge.launchpad.net/~newacct [21:51] micahg, yeah, it is. [21:51] :), can you take care of it please? [21:51] micahg, there's certainly the implicit rule of "Don't be a dick" [21:51] jml: I'm sure that was no pun intended ;) [21:51] micahg, I'll see what I can do. [21:52] thanks [21:55] micahg, I need a LOSA to do it. There won't be one around for another couple of hours. [21:59] micahg, the comments made by that user are all reasonable. it's probably not an abuse account. [22:07] jml: I know, that's the weird thing [22:07] I was going to send a comment, but I didn't feel I had sufficient authority to do so [22:12] I uploaded a package for karmic. Can I make it also build a version for lucid without reuploading anything? [22:12] It would be a waste just to edit the changelog and reupload [22:13] you can copy the source package + binary debs to lucid if you don't need a recompile [22:15] 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] jml: k [22:19] * jml -> cafe w/ internet [22:19] jml: so, should I do that or wait for a LOSA? [22:20] micahg, Do it now, I reckon. Can you please CC me? [22:20] jml: can I do that through the interface? [22:21] micahg, CC me, no. [22:21] micahg, I guess I have special email address viewing powers. [22:21] jml: ok, so what to do? [22:22] micahg, just send it, and then let me know how it goes :) [22:22] jml: k [22:22] micahg, thanks! :) [22:22] jml: I can copy you if there is a back and forth [22:22] micahg, that'd be great, thanks. [22:23] 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] jml: I have the same problem, but I have a flat tire :) [22:28] excuses :) [22:37] Can I copy the package and have it recompile it? [22:38] I just tried copying with the binaries and my ubuntu doesn't like it [22:40] no, as you can't have two different debs with the same version (and therefore file name) [22:41] and the package manager wouldn't like it either (think of someone using your PPA and they update from karmic to lucid) [22:43] so I need to change the version number and the distribution and then reupload? [22:43] yes [22:58] good morning Launchpadders [23:01] jml: what tz are you? [23:01] micahg, AEST, UTC+11 [23:01] micahg, but only for another week [23:02] ah [23:14] urgh, "dpkg-deb - error: Debian revision (`ppa') doesn't contain any digits" [23:20] what is your full version string? [23:35] micahg, our friendly neighbourhood losa has changed the account name and sent an email to ~newacct explaining why. [23:35] jml: ok, thanks [23:36] Can someone please suspend pstone78 from launchpad *now*? User is, er, spamming bugs with dangerous instructions -- see http://tinyurl.com/ycke5as [23:41] hggdh: looking [23:41] spm, hggdh, he seems to have stopped over half an hour ago. [23:42] hggdh, I think suspending is a bit heavy-handed, tbh. [23:42] 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] 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. [23:43] hggdh, cool, thanks. [23:43] hggdh, after all, if we suspended everyone who gave bad advice... [23:43] spm, jml: yes, I am going to each one of the bugs and will ask for his comments to be disregarded [23:43] (also, I've been trying so hard to avoid gender-specific pronouns today...) [23:44] jml: one bad advice is no big deal, 16 of them starts to be [23:44] hggdh, heh. actually, I'd be more likely to suspend for copy/pasting instructions rather than linking:) [23:44] heh... sometimes it is not worth the trouble, to be gender-neutral [23:50] jml: BTW, please do not suspend me (I am copying & pasting a warning on the 16 bugs) ;-) [23:50] hggdh, I won't :) [23:51] * hggdh gratefully bows
