[00:35] <facundobatista> Hi all!
[00:35] <facundobatista> I'm packaging a game for debian/ubuntu
[00:36] <facundobatista> I have a lintian warning that I can not get rid of: manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man6/typuspocus.6.gz
[00:36] <facundobatista> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/399614/
[00:36] <facundobatista> it tells me that "Each manual page should start with a "NAME" section"
[00:37] <facundobatista> however, if I check the man format ("man 7 man"), it says that
[00:37] <facundobatista>         The first command in a man page (after comment lines, that is, lines that start with .\") should be
[00:37] <facundobatista>               .TH title section date source manual
[00:37] <facundobatista> my man page is so far: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/399612/
[00:37] <facundobatista> help? thanks!

[05:32] <fabrice_sp> Hi. My membership to u-u-s is about to expire, and I was looking for a way to explicitly apply to Ubuntu Sponsors Team (u-s-t?), but I can't. Should I be added by an admin to u-s-t? Or quit first from u-u-s?
[05:38] <persia> fabrice_sp: I'll add you to ubuntu-sponsors
[05:42] <fabrice_sp> thanks persia!
[05:45] <GhostOnline> Does anyone know what the license requirements are for new packages (as stated in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/CodeReviews#Guideline Criteria for New Package Inclusion, under Maintenance review)?

[07:22] <ajmitch> morning dholbach
[07:22] <dholbach> hey ajmitch!
[07:23] <ajmitch> how are you?
[09:26] <anzenketh> how do I use dh_installinit  to install 2 init scripts called manualy with a nostart option
[09:26] <anzenketh> I think it is dh_installinit --no-start --name=name --name=name2
[09:27] <anzenketh> with the files in debian folder with pkg.name.init and pkg.name2.init am I right?

[12:05] <jcfp> facundobatista: try removing the space from "Typus Pocus" in the NAME line
[12:06] <facundobatista> jcfp, you mean, between both words?
[12:06] <jcfp> yup
[12:06] <facundobatista> jcfp, but that's the name! or should I be used the command there? "typuspocus"?
[12:07] <jcfp> try if it works first
[12:08] <facundobatista> jcfp, ok
[12:08] <jcfp> since the 'bad-whatis-entry' lintian error suggests this line is off somehow
[12:09] <facundobatista> jcfp, yes! without the space it worked
[12:10] <jcfp> facundobatista: good :)  you could try if putting quotes around it is accepted, if you really want the space in there anyway
[12:11] <facundobatista> jcfp, ok
[12:11] <facundobatista> jcfp, I tried with "\ ", and it didn't work
[12:11] <facundobatista> quotes around didn't work
[12:11] <jcfp> no spaces it is, then
[12:11] <jcfp> :p
[12:25] <facundobatista> jcfp, thank you! I finally put the command, not the name, to not be misleading
[12:25] <facundobatista> jcfp, good enough for the first version of my first package :)
[13:56] <pmcenery> Hi Motu's. I'm looking for a bit of advice...
[13:57] <persia> What sort?
[13:57] <pmcenery> I've packaged ipheth <http://giagio.com/wiki/moin.cgi/iPhoneEthernetDriver> for Debian, and its in my PPA. I really wanted it to be uploaded to Debian where I will maintain it
[13:58] <pmcenery> but... I'm struggling for a Debian sponsor. There are loads of users of the PPA package, and I was really hoping to make it in time for a lucid sync from Debian.
[13:59] <persia> You've already missed the deadline for that by a month or so.
[13:59] <persia> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule lists 18th February as FeatureFreeze
[14:00] <directhex> let's see this PPA. i'm curious how you packaged it
[14:00] <pmcenery> My lack of a sponsor in Debian is starting to make this look unlikely now. I guess what I need to find out is... Are there any potential Debian sponsors here, or secondly... I'd like to find a sponsor here to go straight into Ubuntu.
[14:01] <nigelb> well, it won't go into lucid, but you can try for lucid+1 in about 2 months
[14:01] <pmcenery> Here is the Debian master pakage VCS http://github.com/pmcenery/ipheth-debian
[14:01] <directhex> pmcenery, any responsible sponsor will want to verify that the package works for themselves, so you're looking for a DD/MOTU who also owns an iphone
[14:02] <persia> And while there is a procedure for getting it into Ubuntu directly, at this point in the development cycle, all such requests are ignored, so it's better to keep hunting a Debian sponsor.
[14:02] <directhex> oh, dkms. i approve
[14:02] <pmcenery> and my PPA is https://launchpad.net/~pmcenery/+archive/ppa
[14:02] <directhex> (i approve of using dkms, but don;t have an iphone so won't sponsor it)
[14:03] <pmcenery> Yeh... I know... its a tall ask, isnt it... Although... its the last piece of the puzzle in terms of iphones that would in my view be worth an exception
[14:03] <pmcenery> Ive spent a lot of time on it, and its my second Debian package, so I'm pretty sure anyone who does test it will be able to upload - without any changes
[14:04] <pmcenery> I do have a Debian mentor, but they are a little busy at the moment.
[14:04] <pmcenery> Is there anyone here who owns an iphone?
[14:04] <pmcenery> And... has a subscription with tethering built into the contract...
[14:06] <nigelb> why is your package in a git hub instead of debian-mentors?  its easier to get mentors there mostly
[14:07] <directhex> pmcenery, a cursory examination of the package looks sensible, but like i said, i'm not going to sponsor untested
[14:07] <pmcenery> Thanks persia. I will keep at it on the Debian front. I'll file a sync request with exception as soon as it makes it in...
[14:07] <pmcenery> Its on Debian mentors too...
[14:07] <pmcenery> I maintain the VCS for it on github with my other package (slimrat)
[14:07] <nigelb> ah, okay
[14:09] <pmcenery> I should complete my DM before the end of the year, which will help... It can be a nightmare finding a sponsor, but I understand... who would put their name to something they cant test
[14:10] <pmcenery> Thanks for your time guys, I'll push on with my Debian mentor in the mean time...
[15:18] <james_w> Laney: doth you have the ability to edit the status of this merge proposal now? https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~arky/ubuntu/lucid/dots/fix-541721/+merge/21759
[15:20] <Laney> james_w: yeah, I am all powerful once again
[15:20] <james_w> woop
[15:20] <james_w> thanks
[15:21] <Laney> thank *you*
[15:21] <james_w> Laney: could you mark that one as merged, just to make sure that there isn't anything silly going on
[15:21] <james_w> it is in fact merged
[15:21] <Laney> I did it
[15:22] <james_w> thanks
[16:12] <kilian_> hello, I am trying to create a .deb for a python program i've written and am getting errors from debhelper (specifically, that a file my setup.py copies into /usr/local/bin isn't a directory, which indeed, it isn't). this channel is linked to under the python packaging wiki article, but where can i best ask this question?
[16:13] <POX> #debian-python @ OFTC (but we require to maintain your package in Debian)
[16:14] <POX> guys there will tell you to use --prefix=/usr
[16:14] <kilian_> and for 'general' debhelper help? (it's a python program i wrote myself, nothing to do with debian packages)
[16:14] <POX> here I guess (or #debian-mentors)
[16:15] <Laney> there's #ubuntu-packaging for non distro packages
[16:15] <Laney> ...I think that's what it's for
[16:15] <kilian_> hah
[16:16] <kilian_> ok, i'll ask there. thanks! :)
[17:41] <Riddell> ScottL: ping
[17:42] <Riddell> ScottL: is ubuntustudio-plymouth-theme ment to be empty?
[17:57] <Elbrus> bug 521818 is waiting for a sponsor for already quite some time. Anybody willing to apply the debdiff?
[17:58] <Elbrus> or any idea what to do to have somebody look at it?
[18:12] <kees> why is planet.u.c's rss feed empty?
[18:35] <\sh> kees, http://beta.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://planet.ubuntu.com/rss20.xml <- eventual because of this?
[18:40] <wrapster> does all the pkgs listed out in the Depends: section be configured one after another in the same order specified or in random order..?
[18:40] <wrapster> Eg: Depends: a, b, c --> 'a' will be first, 'b' next and 'c' later..?or any order?
[18:42] <kees> \sh: yeah, looks like Collin Pruitt's feed is hosed?
[18:43] <kees> hm
[18:43] <\sh> kees, yes...
[18:45] <kees> oh, no, his feed is fine.  planet is hosed
[18:45] <kees> http://feeds.feedburner.com/HellowsBlog
[18:48] <ajmitch> last update I see in google reader is an hour ago on planet ubuntu
[18:48] <Pici> Yes, and thats the same item thats listed at the top of the xml feed.. hmm
[18:49] <Pici> So... there isn't anything wrong? Or are things other than greader failing to parse?
[19:05] <psusi> if I checkout a bzr branch from lp, make a local branch from that, make several changes across several commits to that branch, then push that branch back to the first one, then push that one back to launchpad... will the history on lp show that I made each distinct commit in my local branch or one big commit?
[21:05] <swoody> I need some help - this is my first time trying to build a .deb package. When I run debuild, I get this output: http://pastebin.com/Ywv5YABE
[21:24] <Rhonda> swoody: Can you also pastebin the first entry of debian/changelog?
[21:28] <swoody> Rhonda: I don't have a changelog in my debian/ folder. There is a ChangeLog with the package I downloaded?
[21:28] <Rhonda> If you don't have a debian/changelog then debuild won't be able to build the package.
[21:28] <swoody> ah, that may make a bit of difference
[21:28] <swoody> let me try mv'ing ChangeLog...
[21:28] <Rhonda> Erm …
[21:29] <Rhonda> That's upstream's changelog, not the debian changelog.
[21:29] <swoody> ok, so I have to create a debian changelog here then?
[21:29] <Rhonda> I think you are missing fundamental basics for creating a Debian package - and I fear this is not the channel for that kind of help.
[21:30]  * Rhonda . o O ( but I might be wrong on that :) )
[21:31] <swoody> well you're probably right ;) This is my first attempt to play around with building a .deb (just for learning, not uploading/submitting this anywhere)
[21:31] <micahg> swoody: #ubuntu-packaging would be the place for help with that then
[21:31] <swoody> thanks micahg :)
[22:35] <ScottL> Riddell, how do you mean?
[22:36] <Riddell> ScottL: what did I ask again?
[22:37] <popey> 17:42:11 < Riddell> ScottL: is ubuntustudio-plymouth-theme ment to be empty?
[22:38] <Riddell> oh aye
[22:38] <Riddell> ScottL: the package is empty
[22:38] <Riddell> it only has a postinst and postrm script
[22:38] <Riddell> is that what's indended?
[22:38] <Riddell> intended
[22:38] <ScottL> well not really but to fit it into the ubuntustudio-look package that is what i did
[22:39] <ScottL> it uses the -look python configure to copy the theme into place
[22:39] <ScottL> the postint and postrm handle adding and removing the theme
[22:46] <lfaraone> james_w: hm. bzr merge-upstream raised hell when I attempted to merge in the upstream tarball which contained a debian/ directory. Is that a bug, should I repack the upstream tarball, etc...
[22:48] <james_w> lfaraone: please file a bug, I can't tell from that summary
