wgrantkrisives: (From Debian) RoM; unmainatined, better alternatives libraries; Debian bug #54394502:09
ubottuDebian bug 543945 in ftp.debian.org "RM: gtkdialog -- RoM; unmainatined, better alternatives libraries" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/54394502:09
krisivesI made a python script and a launchpad project for it, and I'm going to package it (for Debian/Ubuntu). When I make the source package do I include the debian/* and stuff in the bazaar repository?03:06
thumperwgrant: you know more about packaging than I do03:13
thumperwgrant: can you suggest a common pattern for krisives ?03:13
wgrantkrisives: Opinions differ.03:14
wgrantMost distribution packagers prefer that your release tarballs do not contain the debian/ directory, so you should exclude it from your branch.03:14
wgrantFor my projects, I have a separate branch which contains the full tree with debian/*, and regularly merge trunk into it.03:14
wgrantThat works fairly well.03:15
krisivesokay, so I keep the main branch with my code and then have another branch that contains the stuff for the source packaging03:15
wgrantRight. The other branch is a branch from trunk, but with the packaging stuff as well.03:17
krisivesjust off topic, is the "Installed Size" required in debian/control ?03:19
wgrantkrisives: From what did you reach the understanding that such a field belongs in debian/control?03:20
krisiveshttp://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-debpkg.html03:21
krisivesAlthough it appears dated, it was one of the first results on Google for "Making a debian source package"03:22
krisivesIt's not in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html which makes me wonder03:23
wgrantkrisives: That's for creating a binary, so it is sick and wrong.03:23
persiakrisives: Trust policy : that is a complete list of the fields you need, and indicates whether they are optional or required.03:23
wgrantkrisives: Try the Ubuntu packaging guide, or the Debian New Maintainers GUide.03:23
krisivesthanks guys :D03:24
krisivesI built a source package for an existing project (Rhythmbox) a few days ago, but this is the first time doing it all from scratch03:25
krisives(that package was to remove the indicator-applet for this PPA if anyone cares: https://launchpad.net/~kris-santiance/+archive/oldrb)03:26
krisivesthat brings up an interesting question as I read this packaging guide and version numbers03:30
krisivesmy Rhythmbox PPA used the version with a +oldrb for the version, does this mean it will automatically build new versions of RB and apply my changes to them? (My change was just to debian/rules)03:31
wgrantNo, it will not automatically rebuild.03:32
wgrantYou would have to reupload it.03:32
krisivesIts okay I made a mistake with the version number a bit anyhow03:34
krisives(I incremented it slightly and added a +oldrb to it)03:34
krisivesdo packages ever automatically rebuild on LP ?03:34
micahgkrisives: if it's a dependency wait I think it does03:35
wgranthttps://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/BuildingASourcePackage has hints on good PPA versioning.03:35
wgrantLP doesn't do automatic rebuilds, but we're currently working on a big project to enable automatic merging and building of package branches, which will allow that sort of thing.03:36
krisiveswhat's XSBC-Original-Maintainer ?03:37
* krisives RTFMs (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/FAQ#What does XSBC-Original-Maintainer mean?)03:38
wgrantA field in which we store the original value of the Maintainer field for packages that we import from Debian.03:38
krisivesdo I have to include it if it's the same person?03:39
krisivesin this case, me03:39
wgrantNo.03:39
wgrantJust use Maintainer.03:39
krisivesInstead of "Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}" can I just use my list?03:41
persiaYou can, but it's more reliable to use the substvars for small changes, etc.03:48
krisivesfor debian/control can I point to /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD ?03:50
krisivesor do I have to include the BSD text?03:50
persiakrisives: /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD may only be used when the copyright holder is the Regents of the University of California.03:50
krisivespersia: I see, because I have to modify it ... duh03:51

A4TechHI all. I have a problem with the attempt to re-compile the package on Launchpad. File file.tar.gz already exists in myppa, but uploaded version has different contents. I looked here https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/UploadErrors there written about this error, but did not understand how to do so would have happened08:59
gesersh: epstopdf: not found09:01
wgrantA4Tech: What is unclear about the text of the error message?09:03
wgrantA different file with the same name is already in your PPA.09:03
A4Techwgrant: I understood very well that for the error. But now tell me I have to adm64 not build. I want to make rebild, and I wrote it. What to do? When I'm doing again debuild-S signatures to the archives of others, and I am old I can not impute to him09:06

TeTeTI want to change the expiration date of a team member of canonical-training, but it oopses when I edit the member:10:39
TeTeThttps://edge.launchpad.net/~canonical-training/+member/marianna-raffaele10:39
intellectronicaTeTeT: :( can you please file a bug and include the oops id? i'll have a look immediately10:40
TeTeTintellectronica: it doesn't even give me an oops id, just 'return to the launchpad front page'10:41
intellectronicaTeTeT: i'm not sure i understand what you mean by OOPS then. what does the page you get after submitting say?10:42
wgrantThat's probably the isRedirectInhibited OOPS that sprung up on edge a couple of days ago.10:42
wgrantIt affects anything that isn't a LaunchpadView, I believe.10:43
wgrantAnd breaks the OOPS view horribly.10:43
wgrantCheck the source for the OOPS ID.10:43
wgrantIf it continues to happen, disable the edge redirect and try on production.10:43
TeTeTintellectronica: I've filed a bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/53900610:44
ubottuLaunchpad bug 539006 in launchpad "Cannot edit team member expiration status" [Undecided,New]10:44
TeTeTintellectronica + wgrant : oops id in page source is OOPS-1535EB46410:45
ubottuhttps://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1535EB46410:45
intellectronicaTeTeT: so wgrant is right. the good news is that you can disable redirection and complete this on the normal production servers.10:46
intellectronicai don't know what's the status of a fix for this problem, but i'll chase it10:46
wgrantIt's a Foundations problem, so probably waiting for USians.10:46
wgrantAlthough the fix may be wildly cross-team, so who knows.10:47

bigjoolswgrant: that problem doesn't happen for some renderings of the same page though11:04

bigjoolsmeh11:24
persiaWhat's the diffeence between a DSP and an SP?11:24
* bigjools heads of for more caffeine11:24
wgrantAn SP is really a DSSP.11:24
wgrantBut nobody is crazy enough to rename it.11:25
persiaIt's the acronym that's losing me.11:25
wgrantDSP => DistributionSourcePackage11:25
persiaAh, and DistributionSeriesSourcePackage.11:25
wgrantSP => SourcePackage, but it should really be DistroSeriesSourcePackage.11:25

persiadark_soul: No.16:06
persiadark_soul: For someone to push to a branch, they have to be the owner of the branch, either directly or through team membership.  Launchpad handles all the ssh key details.16:07
dark_soulpersia: oh..so how does callboration of a project work then?16:08
persiadark_soul: Lots of different models.16:09
persiaTwo common ones are i) Several people belong to a team, and commonly push to a team branch, ii) lots of users have branches for a project, and one of them also maintains a trunk, merging changes from all the other branches as requested.16:10
persiaFor larger projects, this sometimes gets extended to having a team-managed trunk with a moderate set of reviewers pushing in merge request fom all developers.16:10
dark_souli see!16:11
dark_soulpersia: thanks16:11
persiaBut since anyone can branch off any branch in launchpad, or push their own branches to any project, the main issues are policy, rather than ability to do things.16:11

rockstarcrimsun, so I hear you're having trouble upgrading branches.17:25
crimsunrockstar: correct. The "Upgrade this branch" choice on lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu and lp:~crimsun/pulseaudio/ubuntu doesn't seem to finish successfully. I can 'bzr upgrade' locally (Lucid), but that doesn't address pushes.17:26
rockstarcrimsun, what do you mean "doesn't seem to finish successfully"17:27
crimsunrockstar: the notification "An upgrade of this branch is in progress." appears, but the pack repo format is still reported as 1 after some time (an hour, a couple days, etc.)17:29
crimsunrockstar: I just tried with lp:~crimsun/pulseaudio/ubuntu if that will assist in troubleshooting17:29
rockstarcrimsun, does the notification go away?17:29
rockstarcrimsun, if lp:~crimsun/pulseaudio/ubuntu is stacked, it probably won't help.17:30
crimsunrockstar: the notification disappears the next time I reload the page, which tends to be an hour or a day afterward17:30
rockstarcrimsun, okay.  So that means I've probably captured the problems that you're having in our oopses.17:31
rockstarcrimsun, so, you can do bzr upgrade lp:... and it'll upgrade the pushed branch.17:31
