| IntuitiveNipple | Is there a tool on end-user (not developer/build) PCs to determine the package architecture in use (i386/amd64/ppc) ? | 01:14 |
|---|---|---|
| crimsun | IntuitiveNipple: do you mean a friendly version of dpkg --print-architecture? | 01:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Yes. I kinda found a way: ARCH=$(apt-get -v | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f 4) | 01:24 |
| crimsun | err, I don't know if I'd recommend the latter over the former ;-) | 01:24 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Something that will 'just work' on a user PC that hasn't had dev tools installesd | 01:25 |
| crimsun | well, dpkg will always work if it's a standard Ubuntu system. | 01:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | It's only for some instructions for a bug report for users to download a correct .deb from a PPA | 01:25 |
| crimsun | (and pretty much Debian, too) | 01:25 |
| crimsun | is the Ubuntu release at least 9.10? | 01:25 |
| crimsun | if so, why not just recommend using add-apt-repository? | 01:26 |
| IntuitiveNipple | To avoid adding the PPA to apt sources since there's *lots* in there, I'm just giving some instructions including some 'wget ...' lines and wanted to ensure they're generic | 01:26 |
| crimsun | I'm not sure why you would recommend doing that instead of getting the necessary package into the repo proper | 01:27 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Because it is for testing, and the package I've put in my PPA is in the process of going into the repos. It's on Debian mentors right now | 01:28 |
| crimsun | what is the oldest supported Ubuntu version for your target package? | 01:28 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Lucid | 01:28 |
| crimsun | really, it makes more sense to use dpkg --print-architecture | 01:29 |
| crimsun | that is its function, after all | 01:29 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Oh kick me! I was misreading 'dpkg' as one of the dev tools, not the generally available tool, doh *blush* | 01:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | yeah, so, that'd work :p | 01:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | I knew I'd done it before but couldn't find it when I needed it | 01:30 |

| AJ_ | Hello | 18:23 |
| AJ_ | I need to know how do I get the Ubuntu package manager to know that a new version to my software is available and it needs to update it | 18:24 |
| AJ_ | Is there something i need to specify in my debian package | 18:26 |
| AJ_ | ??? | 18:26 |
| nigelb | no | 18:27 |
| AJ_ | So I have a debian package which can be downloaded and installed | 18:28 |
| nigelb | is it going to be in ubuntu/debian or in a ppa? | 18:28 |
| AJ_ | its on a website | 18:30 |
| AJ_ | just like google chrome | 18:30 |
| nigelb | as a deb? | 18:30 |
| AJ_ | yes | 18:30 |
| nigelb | in that case, you cannot have package manager show that there is a new version, sorry | 18:31 |
| AJ_ | So how does google chrome does it | 18:33 |
| AJ_ | ?? | 18:33 |
| nigelb | I haven't tried, so I dunno. probably someone else knows the answer | 18:33 |
| AJ_ | Doe anyone know the answer | 18:34 |
| azeem | AJ_: google chrome just checks back with google whether there's a new version I guess | 18:35 |
| AJ_ | But i can see google chrome on synaptic package manager listing | 18:37 |
| AJ_ | so this means package manager checks to see if a new version is available | 18:37 |
| nigelb | package manager checks only if a line is added to your sources.list file | 18:38 |
| azeem | AJ_: do you have a special chrome APT repository activated in synaptic? | 18:39 |
| AJ_ | How do I check that | 18:40 |
| AJ_ | so when i open synaptic package manager and i search for chrome it gives me a list entry with google-chrome-beta installed-version current -version description | 18:43 |
| nigelb | AJ_, go to system > Administration > software sources | 18:44 |
| nigelb | in the second tab, see if there are more than 2 lines | 18:44 |
| AJ_ | yes there is a google listing available there | 18:45 |
| nigelb | ah, so thats how you get updates to chrome via package manager | 18:45 |
| nigelb | you need to have an apt repository | 18:45 |
| AJ_ | aha | 18:45 |
| AJ_ | how do i manage to do that | 18:46 |
| azeem | as a user or as a developer? | 18:46 |
| AJ_ | having an apt repository for my application | 18:46 |
| azeem | it's probably easiest to have a PPA | 18:46 |
| AJ_ | as a developer | 18:46 |
| azeem | and publish/advertise it to your users | 18:46 |
| nigelb | +1 to the PPA suggestion | 18:46 |
| AJ_ | ok | 18:47 |
| AJ_ | is there a good tutorial available for setting up PPA | 18:47 |
| nigelb | help.launchpad.net should have some | 18:47 |
| AJ_ | ok | 18:48 |
| AJ_ | will check it out | 18:48 |
| AJ_ | thanks a ton guys for ur help | 18:48 |
| jcastro | AJ_: the chrome deb works by dropping a google sources.list in /etc/apr/sources.list.d | 18:49 |
| jcastro | that should bet /etc/apt I mean | 18:50 |
| nigelb | jcastro, yeah, thats what we figured out too. He's going to set up a PPA for his app :) | 18:50 |
| stevecrozz | what's the name of that tool that helps you update debian/control? | 19:40 |
| nigelbabu | stevecrozz, what do you want to update? | 19:41 |
| stevecrozz | nigelbabu: I'm building an experimental package from an existing one, i was going to add a dependency for one thing | 19:41 |
| nigelbabu | stevecrozz, no, I meant what do you want to update in debian/control.. | 19:42 |
| stevecrozz | the dependencies | 19:42 |
| nigelbabu | ah, you have to do that manually I guess | 19:43 |
| stevecrozz | nigelbabu: ok, what about the changelog? isn't there a util for that? | 19:43 |
| nigelbabu | dch -i | 19:44 |
| stevecrozz | ah that's right, thanks | 19:44 |
| nigelbabu | and to update maintainer 'update-maintainer' | 19:44 |
| stevecrozz | nigelbabu: I'm updating nginx to add http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/RunOnNginx | 19:53 |
| stevecrozz | so I need to add a new line to debian/rules, which needs to reference uwsgi | 19:54 |
| stevecrozz | do I need to build a package for uWSGI also? or should I just copy the uWSGI source files into the nginx source folder? | 19:54 |
| nigelbabu | stevecrozz, sorry, I don't know enough to help you.. hang around and see if others can help | 19:55 |

| mcurrington | Hello. Who maintains the package irssi? In apt-cache show it tells me "Ubuntu Core Developers" | 21:47 |

| Laney | sistpoty: you can fix that by syncing hmake | 23:49 |
| Laney | assuming it builds | 23:50 |
| sistpoty | Laney: *nod*, haven't checked it yet, still on my list ;) | 23:50 |
| Laney | sistpoty: I should look at the remaining packages | 23:54 |
| Laney | we are close now | 23:54 |
| Laney | I saw your bugs about the doc package renaming not providing an upload path, that's disappointing | 23:54 |
| Laney | s/upload/upgrade/ | 23:55 |
| sistpoty | Laney: actually I only found that out since that lead to a FTBFS in ubuntu... the arch:all package with the old name was still available and got drawn in, however it had a versioned dep on haddock that couldn't get fulfilled | 23:56 |
| Laney | urgh | 23:56 |
| sistpoty | Laney: I don't think the upgrade path is too much of a problem though, it'll only mean that the new -doc package won't get upgraded to, however it doesn't result in installation failures | 23:57 |
| Laney | sistpoty: Yes, it's not a big problem, just a bit careless. | 23:57 |
| sistpoty | well, things happen, like /me preparing an upload before dinner, uploading it after dinner and forgetting to change anything but changelog :) | 23:57 |
| Laney | haha | 23:58 |
| Laney | I wonder when pandoc will be finished | 23:58 |
| sistpoty | yeah, it's starting to get late for lucid | 23:58 |
