| dhillon-v10 | if bzr merge-package says nothing to do does that mean its a sync from Debian | 02:22 |
|---|---|---|
| crimsun | not necessarily | 02:30 |
| dhillon-v10 | crimsun, the merge package command results in nothing to do message so what should I do now check the changelog file and do it myself | 02:37 |

| ScottK | How long ago? | 05:26 |
| dirakx | ScottK like two days ago. | 05:27 |
| dirakx | dput says Already uploaded to revu on revu.ubuntuwire.com | 05:27 |
| ScottK | Not sure what to say then. | 05:29 |
| ScottK | It takes 10 minutes or so for them to appear and sometimes people ask here immediately. | 05:29 |
| dirakx | Scottk i was having problems getting my pgp key authenticated..can it be the problem _ | 05:31 |
| ScottK | Could be. | 05:32 |
| ScottK | We'd need a revu admin to really check and I don't know of any that are around right now. | 05:32 |
| dirakx | ScottK: oh o.k thanks for helping me out. | 05:32 |
| rhpot1991 | isn't there some way to execute your get-orig-source from your debian/rules, or am I making up things in my head? | 05:57 |
| RAOF | rhpot1991: I'm not entirely sure what you want, but you can certainly run “debian/rules get-orig-source” to get the original source (where such a target has been written). | 06:03 |
| RAOF | rhpot1991: Actually trying to grab the original source as a part of the build process in your debian/rules file either won't work or will be strange enough to make people ask why you're doing it (depending on your make syntaxfu). | 06:04 |
| rhpot1991 | RAOF: I seem to recall there was a way to just run that from a terminal and have it execute | 06:05 |
| rhpot1991 | RAOF: I'm writing the section in my rules file and was looking for a good way to test it out | 06:05 |
| RAOF | You can. Just run “debian/rules get-orig-source” | 06:11 |
| RAOF | If it's a policy-compliant rules file, that will work from a terminal. | 06:11 |
| rhpot1991 | RAOF: thats it, I was a level off, thanks | 06:13 |
| RAOF | In fact, if it's policy compliant, you should be able to run that target from *any* directory. But many rules files don't follow that particular part of policy. | 06:14 |
| rhpot1991 | RAOF: been a while since I did a REVU, should I generate the orig.tar.gz myself ahead of time or just debuild without it then upload? | 06:30 |
| RAOF | You have to generate the orig.tar.gz beforehand; you can't build the source package without it. | 06:31 |
| RAOF | (Because the .diff.gz is the diff against the orig.tar.gz, so you need to have unpacked the orig.tar.gz first...) | 06:32 |
| RAOF | Actually, if you're packaging in a VCS (particularly git-buildpackage) that rule can be bent somewhat. But you'll definitely need to have an orig.tar.gz for upload to REVU. | 06:38 |
| RAOF | Wow. eglibc will be a nice outlier for pbuilder-on-tmpfs benchmarking. | 06:42 |
| dholbach | good morning | 07:16 |
| ajmitch | morning dholbach | 07:31 |
| hakaishi | Hi! Does "nuke" delete the whole package or just the upload? | 07:34 |
| dholbach | hi ajmitch | 07:34 |
| hakaishi | nobody? | 07:36 |
| AnAnt | Hello, no UWN today ? | 07:37 |
| hakaishi | I have a question about REVU: Does "nuke" delete the whole package or just the upload? | 07:38 |
| maco | AnAnt: is a holiday in the US. could have an effect.... | 07:38 |
| StevenK | Oh? What's the holiday? | 07:38 |
| maco | well, holiday in the "no work or school or banks today" sense | 07:38 |
| mzuverink | Martin Luther King Day | 07:38 |
| maco | it's kinda like if India had "Gandhi Day" | 07:39 |
| maco | (or maybe it does for all i know( | 07:39 |
| mzuverink | Banks and postal, though more and nore banks are open | 07:39 |
| maco | *) | 07:39 |
| slytherin | maco: India has holiday on 2nd October (birth date of Mahatma Gandhi). :-) | 07:40 |
| maco | slytherin: good to know! | 07:40 |
| slytherin | On a side note it is also dry day in India. | 07:41 |
| maco | is there a wet day too? | 07:41 |
| maco | how about slightly damp day? and moist day? | 07:41 |
| * maco runs | 07:41 | |
| AnAnt | slytherin: you mean today is a dry day or 2nd of Oct ? | 07:42 |
| slytherin | he he, 'Dry Day' means 'No Alcohol Consumption Day'. :-) | 07:43 |
| AnAnt | oh | 07:43 |
| slytherin | AnAnt: 2nd October | 07:43 |
| AnAnt | slytherin: yes, I understood that after you explained the meaning of "dry day" | 07:43 |
| hakaishi | Hey, does nobody know what nuke in REVU deletes? | 07:46 |
| ajmitch | hakaishi: I believe it removes all uploads of a source package | 07:48 |
| slytherin | hakaishi: nuke deletes all uploads. But only admins have nuke privileges. | 07:49 |
| slytherin | All uploads of a package | 07:49 |
| hakaishi | Okay, thank you ^^ | 07:49 |

| MTecknology | Hobbsee: hey, were you an op in here for long? | 08:12 |
| Hobbsee | MTecknology: i have been for a number of years.... | 08:12 |
| MTecknology | You guys have any idea what I screwed up on? http://paste.ubuntu.com/358385/ | 08:12 |
| MTecknology | Hobbsee: I never noticed :P | 08:12 |
| MTecknology | I'm trying to make a package for the latest openbox but I think packaging hates me | 08:15 |
| slytherin | MTecknology: is there a configure script in upstream source? | 08:15 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: Looks like either the tarball has no ./configure file in it, or else something you do deletes it ? | 08:15 |
| Hobbsee | MTecknology: well, i've not been around for a whole bunch of the year, so.. | 08:16 |
| MTecknology | I guess I don't see one :( | 08:16 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: If "the latest" means "grabbed from a VCS", that's common... you are expected to use autotools to create one when using a VCS by some projects... | 08:17 |
| jmarsden | If "latest" means a real upstream release... there should probably be one :) | 08:17 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: I grabbed it like this - git clone git://git.openbox.org/dana/openbox openbox; cd openbox; git checkout release-3.4.10 | 08:18 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: Right. So that's from git, a VCS, not a release tarball. | 08:18 |
| jmarsden | So itis up to you to create the configure script. | 08:18 |
| jmarsden | Is there a autogen.sh script you can run ? | 08:18 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: nope.. | 08:19 |
| jmarsden | You can try using autoreconf -- best bet though is to check what instructions upstream give their developers for compiling from git... | 08:20 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: what package is that in? | 08:23 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: actually, there is a configure.ac file in there | 08:23 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: autoconf | 08:23 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: Good, you'd be dead in the water creating a configure file without that :) | 08:23 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: while I'm dloading- is there anything simple about packaging? | 08:25 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: http://paste.ubuntu.com/358390/ | 08:26 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: well, packaging the hello app is pretty simple :) It's the real world that tends to be messier :) | 08:26 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: I could probably work to deal with that but I'm not really an autotools guru. Can you find the upstream site where they explain to new developers how they are supposed to grab code from git and compile it, and use that info for insight into this? That's the track I would try at this point in your place. | 08:27 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: That msg *might* be a matter of which version of autotools the project wants you to use... | 08:28 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: See if installing autoconf2.13 on your machine helps at all. | 08:29 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: that wants a configure.in file | 08:29 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: It shouldn't, that's what autoconf creates from configure.ac ... let me check a bit more ... | 08:30 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: I can just keep bugging the developer and convince them to make the package and try to start a little easier | 08:30 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: Right. I think you convincing them to release a tarball is all you need to overcome this issue. | 08:31 |
| jmarsden | Their release process will include generating a configure file and including it in that tarball. | 08:31 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: their developer knows what she's doin when it comes to packaging things. I'm just trying to do something for karmic | 08:32 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: OK. So can you not backport whatever they have for Lucid, rather than starting from git ? | 08:33 |
| StevenK | jmarsden: configure.in or configure.ac can be used | 08:33 |
| MTecknology | what's in lucid is 3.4.8 and the current stable is 3.4.10 | 08:34 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: OK, so get a release *tarball* of 3.4.10 and start with that, perhaps? | 08:34 |
| MTecknology | I'll need to see if they offer one anywhere | 08:34 |
| MTecknology | where is pbuilder data held? | 08:35 |
| jmarsden | My ~/.pbuilderrc overrides the defaults... :) /var/cache/pbuilder/ I think | 08:37 |
| MTecknology | oh | 08:38 |

| zooko | Folks: the Tahoe-LAFS v1.6 release is slipping and we will not have a new version of Tahoe-LAFS ready to upload into Lucid by Wednesday (the 20th) as we had planned. | 17:38 |
| zooko | If we instead have one ready to upload by Monday the 25th do we still have a good chance of getting the new version included in Lucid? | 17:38 |
| zooko | For what it is worth the slippage has nothing to do with QA issues and is instead all about improving safety, security, and forward-compatibility. | 17:39 |
| ScottK | zooko: Yes. | 17:39 |
| ScottK | We'd rather have it right than have it right now. | 17:39 |
| zooko | Okay, we'll try to have it ready to upload next Monday. Thanks! | 17:40 |
| zooko | That sentence that I said may not have made sense -- we are improving safety and security, not by fixing bugs or issues that negatively impact those, but by adding new features. So it isn't the case that there are any undiagnosed bugs that are causing the delay. | 17:41 |

| freinhard | apachelogger, Quintasan: about that ctemplates package, i quess i'll move the emacs file back to docs/contrib/ cause i don't know (and don't want to find out ;) ) how to set it up correctly. | 18:35 |
| Quintasan | freinhard: also poke upsteam to strip the binary files if possible :) | 18:35 |
| rhpot1991 | ok have some packaging questions, when packaging source that you are not upstream for, is there a preference between using get-orig-source vs having the source in your bzr branch? | 18:36 |
| freinhard | Quintasan: the .la file has already been removed on svn, not sure about that testing file | 18:36 |
| rhpot1991 | I normally start with the source in a bzr branch and work from there, but am causing myself some confusion getting this ready for revu | 18:36 |
| freinhard | Quintasan: aren't .out files designed to be compared to the actual output the compiled code produces? | 18:37 |
| apachelogger | hm | 18:40 |
| apachelogger | freinhard: I think the .out file can be ignored, since a successfull unit test should generate the thing, hence it is reproducible | 18:41 |
| apachelogger | + it seems like it is simple text written as binary, so technically it is easily editable in any hexeditor :D | 18:42 |
