| ChogyDan | I'm trying to put a kernel into a ppa, and I'm getting ABI errors. Do I have to pack the ABI files in with the source? I know when building it locally, I could d/l the ABI files... | 01:00 |
| jmarsden | ChogyDan: Buildd's have no Internet access during the build process. By design. | 01:12 |
| ChogyDan | fair enough, but I don't know what to do regardless | 01:13 |
| jmarsden | ChogyDan: Look at how the official Ubuntu kernel packages do things, and do it that way. I guarantee they do not go out and grab stuff from the Internet during package building. So your kernel paclages should not need to do that either. | 01:15 |
| wgrant | ChogyDan: IIRC there's a script that you run to grab the latest ABI files and put them in the source. | 01:16 |
| wgrant | Or you enable PPA mode, which disables the ABI check and uses something different. | 01:17 |
| wgrant | Although that might not exist any more; I haven't done it for 18 months. | 01:17 |
| ChogyDan | wgrant: how do I enable ppa mode? ok. Well, I will try packing in the ABI files, see if that works | 01:17 |

| kklimonda | can I merge packaging branch with a full branch somehow? | 10:19 |
| kklimonda | anyone familiar with "distributed development" online? I have few questions | 10:42 |
| geser | sort of familiar, I've done some successful merges with it | 10:43 |
| kklimonda | geser, are there plans to drop debian/patches/ in favour of branches? | 10:43 |
| geser | that I don't know | 10:44 |
| randomaction | I think these are *very* remove plans | 10:44 |
| kklimonda | geser, is there an easy way of working with both "full" branches and and branches that contain only debian/ directory or do I have to diff them by hand? | 10:45 |
| kklimonda | also can I get branches for all packages uploaded to -proposed and -security? | 10:45 |
| geser | I've only used the packaging branches from LP till now | 10:45 |
| kklimonda | (I've tried lp:ubuntu/<package>/karmic-security and lp:ubuntu/karmic-security/[package] and neither works) | 10:46 |
| geser | the second one should work | 10:46 |
| geser | have you a package name with an upload to security at hand? | 10:46 |
| kklimonda | transmission | 10:46 |
| geser | hmm, apparently no -security branches (see https://code.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission) | 10:49 |
| kklimonda | weird | 10:51 |
| kklimonda | django have -security branches so it would seem that it's dependant on developer.. but aren't those branches created automatically? | 10:51 |
| geser | yes, but I don't know how it's triggered as it runs "external" to LP itself | 10:52 |
| geser | or not so external as I just found out | 10:56 |
| wgrant | geser: "not so external"? | 11:05 |
| geser | I found an loggerhead branch mentioning package-import.ubuntu.com but it was 2 years old | 11:06 |
| geser | wgrant: do you know how bundled this package-import.ubuntu.com is with LP itself? | 11:07 |
| wgrant | It is external. It checks LP regularly for new uploads. | 11:07 |
| wgrant | It's not part of LP. It uses the public API and bzr to communicate. | 11:07 |
| jetienne | q. im writing a /etc/init.d script.. where can i get info on the language between ### BEGIN INIT INFO and ### END INIT INFO | 11:08 |

| ari-tczew | randomaction, are you bored? | 15:30 |
| randomaction | ari-tczew: not too much :) | 15:30 |
| ari-tczew | want to sponsor? | 15:30 |
| randomaction | I can ack a sync for gambas2 :) | 15:32 |
| ari-tczew | are you sure? | 15:32 |
| ari-tczew | yesterday I have checked patch with upstream | 15:32 |
| ari-tczew | code aren't the same | 15:33 |
| randomaction | ok, let's look | 15:35 |
| randomaction | snprintf(ctx, sizeof(ctx), "%.2g", THIS->doc->getPDFMajorVersion () + THIS->doc->getPDFMinorVersion() / 10.0); | 15:35 |
| randomaction | %.2g prints a floating-point number. The floating-point number is supplied in the next argument. | 15:36 |
| randomaction | snprintf(ctx, sizeof(ctx), "%d.%d", THIS->doc->getPDFMajorVersion () + THIS->doc->getPDFMinorVersion() / 10.0); | 15:36 |
| randomaction | %d prints an integer, so two integers should be supplied | 15:36 |
| randomaction | instead, one floating-point number is supplied | 15:37 |
| ari-tczew | so what's the conclusion? | 15:37 |
| randomaction | that replacing the first line with the second is not a good idea | 15:37 |
| ari-tczew | ok, give me a moment, I'll convert request to sync | 15:38 |

| geser | ari-tczew: the bug itself got filed, you just need to "finish" like subscribe the sponsoring team | 16:37 |
| ari-tczew | huh? which bug is filed? | 16:38 |
| ari-tczew | ahh, you mean by requestsync | 16:38 |
| geser | your sync request | 16:38 |
| ari-tczew | I know | 16:38 |
| ari-tczew | randomaction just give an ACK, so no problem ;-) | 16:39 |
| ari-tczew | btw. do you will fix this issue, geser? | 16:39 |
| Quintasan | fabrice_sp: FYI, most of the rdepends of liblo built fine, didn't test all of them tough | 16:40 |
| geser | I plan to. I only know a possible reason for this so I can only hope my fix will really fix it | 16:40 |
| ari-tczew | is there any statistic (LP) who did upload the most packages? just like top10 or something | 16:49 |
| geser | there was in the past | 16:50 |
| randomaction | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+topcontributors gives some idea, especially soyuz karma | 16:51 |
| ari-tczew | lol, stupid tool, e.g. Martin Mai has only 5 packages uploaded | 16:53 |

| fabrice_sp | Quintasan, cool: we will just have to upload build1 versions after sync of liblo. Thanks for taking care of that check ;-) | 18:26 |
| Quintasan | fabrice_sp: do you mind uploading it? My connection is pretty screwd now and I have lags even when typing :S | 18:29 |
| ari-tczew | Quintasan: fabrice wrote after sync | 18:30 |
| fabrice_sp | Quintasan, it's a sync, right? | 18:31 |
| ari-tczew | so no this time | 18:31 |

| ScottL | thanks fabrice_sp...I'm learning more and more stuff :) | 19:14 |
| fabrice_sp | :-D | 19:15 |
| ari-tczew | geser, so what's the conclusion about gpsd? we can sync it from testing? | 19:17 |
| geser | not unless DktrKranz or bzed give their OK | 19:19 |
| ScottL | fabrice_sp, you also mentioned using debhelper 7 format, but I had trouble finding explicative information, can you suggest somewhere to learn more about it? | 19:24 |
| Laney | man dh | 19:25 |
| fabrice_sp | ScottL, /usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.tiny ? | 19:25 |
| fabrice_sp | man dh is definitively better | 19:26 |
| ScottL | yes, I found both of those fabrice_sp | 19:27 |
| ScottL | but my understanding of makefiles, /debian/rules, et al is rather limited still and I'm not sure really how to convert | 19:28 |
| ScottL | but thanks for your help nonetheless :) | 19:28 |
| fabrice_sp | ScottL, well, you can try with the tiny rules file (#!/usr/bin/make -f | 19:29 |
| fabrice_sp | %: | 19:29 |
| fabrice_sp | dh $@) | 19:29 |
| fabrice_sp | arghh: bad paste | 19:30 |
| ScottL | i know which one you are trying to show | 19:30 |
| fabrice_sp | and if you ,iss something, uses override_<what you need> | 19:30 |
| ScottL | I did try that last night with the zynjacku but it didn't work | 19:31 |
| ScottL | I've been reading the FSF gnu make book and I need to devote the time to really understand a large percentage of the dh scripts | 19:31 |
| fabrice_sp | ScottL, according to the actual rules files, it should work quite easily (it uses ./configure, make and make install ) | 19:32 |
| fabrice_sp | you miss perhaps some extra parameters | 19:32 |
| ScottL | probably, i tried it very late last night and was a bit fuzzy in the head to dry to problem solve, i'll try again later | 19:33 |
| ScottL | s/dry/try | 19:34 |
| fabrice_sp | if you can try now, we can help you looking after the errors | 19:35 |
| ScottL_ | okay, but I have very limited time (really should be cleaning up for daughter's 8th birthday/sleep over party) | 19:36 |
| ScottL_ | okay, i run debuild -S and: debian/rules:3: *** missing separator. Stop. | 19:37 |
| ScottL_ | hmmm, I guess I should revisit what i put into the rules file :/ | 19:38 |
| fabrice_sp | and uses tabs ;-) | 19:39 |
| ScottL_ | blimey, you beat me to it...yes, it was the tab | 19:40 |
| ScottL_ | i compared to /usr/share/doc/debhelper/tiny but I thought that I had copied it from there last night, perhaps not | 19:41 |
| ScottL_ | so basically for all rules there are no targets and it runs dh clean, dh build, dh * as called | 19:42 |
| ScottL_ | debuild -S works now again :) | 19:43 |
| ScottL_ | and building again in pbuilder | 19:43 |
| ScottL_ | but fabrice_sp, how can I pass arguments? directories and the like? | 19:44 |
| ScottL_ | nevermind, I think this page I found last night (told you it was late) probably has the information http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/cdbs_killer___40__design_phase__41__/ | 19:45 |
| Quintasan | hmm, fabrice_sp, shouldn't pbzip2 provide some sort file for update-alternatives? | 20:18 |
| fabrice_sp | Quintasan, not sure what is the context of the question :-D | 20:19 |
| Quintasan | fabrice_sp: well pbzip2 is obviously faster with mulicore processors and it should be available to choose as an alternative to standard bzip2 | 20:21 |
| fabrice_sp | Quintasan, sounds logical, yes | 20:22 |
| Quintasan | well, just a test case, pbzip2 took 7 seconds to zip a 234mb text file and normal bzip almost 20 :P | 20:23 |
| cody-somerville | Quintasan, absolutely not | 20:25 |
| fabrice_sp | wouah! | 20:25 |
| Quintasan | oh | 20:25 |
| fabrice_sp | cody-somerville, why? | 20:26 |
| Quintasan | cody-somerville: why not? | 20:26 |
| fabrice_sp | :-D | 20:26 |
| cody-somerville | Thats not how alternatives are supposed to be used. | 20:26 |
| Quintasan | cody-somerville: hm? | 20:26 |
| * fabrice_sp is learning something new | 20:27 | |
| Quintasan | I though if we provide an alternative in kubuntu-artwork-usplash or unrar & unrar-nonfree we could do something like this for pbzip2 | 20:28 |
| cody-somerville | Yes and that would be wrong | 20:28 |
| cody-somerville | and cause breakage | 20:28 |
| Quintasan | why so? | 20:28 |
| cody-somerville | They take different command line options | 20:29 |
| Quintasan | uhh, right, I did not consider that | 20:29 |
| Quintasan | -_- | 20:29 |
| * Quintasan feels bit stupid now | 20:29 | |
| jmarsden | Quintasan: If you really want to, writing a wrapper script to map the bzip2 options to pbzip2 and using the wrapper as the alternative might be worth a look. | 20:32 |
| Odd-rationale | Is using the CDBS the recommended way of packaging python modules? From what I've read on the wiki, there seems to be a couple other ways, but I cannot find much information about them. | 20:34 |
| ScottK | Odd-rationale: For a python module that uses distutils it's an easy way to do it, but currently using debhelper is recommended. WIth debhelper 7 rules.tiny it's just as easy and technically better. | 20:37 |
| Odd-rationale | ScottK: ok thanks. I'm kind of new to ubuntu packaging. So I'm experimenting around... | 20:38 |
| ScottK | Odd-rationale: If you are interested in packaging Python modules I recommend joining #debian-python on OFTC and working with that team (it has a lot of Ubuntu participation) to get your package into Debian (and sync'ed to Ubuntu from there) | 20:39 |
| Odd-rationale | ok. | 20:39 |
| ScottK | They are also willing to help people who are new and just learning. | 20:39 |
| Odd-rationale | so if i want to use dh7, i should call dh_make without the -b option? | 20:40 |
| hyperair | if you want to use dh7, you run without -b and then get rid of the debian/rules file and start afresh | 20:57 |
| ScottK | Odd-rationale: I'd start with a working package as a template and use that. | 20:57 |
| ScottK | Odd-rationale: I'll suggest my python-ipaddr package for one. | 20:58 |
| fabrice_sp | how is that a package in testing since the 16th of January is not yet in Ubuntu? It's libmoosex-types-common-perl | 20:58 |
| fabrice_sp | No 'autosync' since the 16th? | 20:58 |
| ScottK | fabrice_sp: Normal autosync and new package sync are two different archive admin actions. | 20:59 |
| fabrice_sp | ohh | 20:59 |
| ScottK | Also new packages need to go through source and binary New in Ubuntu. | 20:59 |
| fabrice_sp | I thought autosync was sync existing and new packages | 20:59 |
| ScottK | So "How" is lots of possibilities. | 20:59 |
| ScottK | Nope. | 20:59 |
| fabrice_sp | ok | 21:00 |
| Odd-rationale | hyperair, ScottK: thanks! | 21:01 |
| Odd-rationale | ScottK: is your python-ipaddr in the repositories? | 21:03 |
