[00:00] <jdong> MTecknology / imbrandon : Sorry just got back from dinner....
[00:00] <jdong> uphack is a really really old project by now and probably not useful
[00:00] <jdong> it was from before the days of /etc/init/ and is likely not useful at all these days
[00:01] <ajmitch> written for upstart < 0.3.x?
[00:01] <jdong> correct.
[00:01] <jdong> ajmitch: it was an automatic turn-init.d-into-upstart-jobs hack :)
[00:01] <jdong> yay crack :)
[00:01] <ajmitch> sounds tricky to get the event stuff right
[00:01] <ajmitch> I expect such things from you
[00:02] <jdong> hey it was properly labeled as crack!
[00:02] <MTecknology> jdong: I need to run for a little bit - probably about an hour - you going to be around then?
[00:02] <ajmitch> sort of like 2to3 for python conversion? a useful place to start, but not to be relied upon?
[00:02] <jdong> ajmitch: it generated a bootorder similar to http://jdong.mit.edu/~jdong/upstart-dep.png
[00:03] <jdong> ajmitch: it was a good starting point but I do expect things to break and require a bit of manual  tuning
[00:03] <jdong> but back in the days, it took the gruntwork out of upstartify-ing
[00:03] <ajmitch> how were these dependencies worked out?
[00:03] <jdong> MTecknology: yeah I'll likely be around.
[00:03] <jdong> ajmitch: some were quirk rules and others were parsing init file headers.
[00:03] <ajmitch> aha
[00:12] <MTecknology> jdong: what's your opinion about trying to get all the other init.d scripts to upstart scripts?
[00:14] <MTecknology> jdong: if you want to maybe teach imbrandon and me about it too, I'm sure we'd be happy to work on it and maybe get the rest changed and remove the sysv-rc, initscripts, and sysv-utils dependendies from upstart for 10.10 :)
[00:15] <MTecknology> imbrandon: would you want to try to do that?
[00:16] <jdong> MTecknology: I'm afraid I wouldn't be the best person for that. While I'm familiar with Upstart itself, I'm not terribly familiar with Keybuk's new event definitions in /etc/init, and when *he* would like things to be starting up, etc.
[00:16] <jdong> MTecknology: Upstart itself is like a programming language, the good engineering practices/conventions are not defined by the tool
[00:16] <jdong> MTecknology: so, if  you want to flag down Keybuk in #ubuntu-devel and cc/ping me, I'd be glad to hear his input too

[05:13] <nixternal> wait a sec, firegpg? people still use that?
[05:13] <micahg> idk, web gmail users maybe
[05:13] <nixternal> seriously, i was looking for firegpg for chromium a couple of months back, and the dev on twitter asked me, "People still use firegpg?"
[05:13]  * micahg doesn't use it, but it has arch specific components
[05:14] <nixternal> one of the actual firegpg devs asked me that :)
[05:14] <micahg> wow
[05:14] <nixternal> thought it was funny, and ended my search for it at that time
[05:14] <micahg> maybe we should drop it then :)

[05:18]  * micahg checks debian popcon

[05:18]  * micahg leaves a note for chrisccoulson
[05:20] <ScottK> Keep in mind that popcon substantially subsamples the actual user base and the distribution of package use by the people that pick to enable popcon may be different than the userbase as a whole.
[05:20]  * micahg should probably enable popcon...
[05:21]  * micahg wouldn't think regular users would be using firegpg anyways
[05:22] <persia> Why?
[05:22] <micahg> how many regular users use GPG encryption?

[05:58] <nixternal> no pisco for me :(
[05:58] <nxvl> :(
[05:59] <nixternal> in the fall, i will make my way back to UDS...don't have the funds to do a european road trip right now :)
[05:59] <nxvl> i will try to go to chigago with a bottle
[05:59] <nxvl> :P
[05:59] <nixternal> plus, I need to get my tickets taken care of, or get a job that requires me to travel so I can update my passport :D
[05:59] <nixternal> damn chicago!!!
[05:59] <nxvl> so maverick +1?
[05:59] <nixternal> definitely
[06:00] <nxvl> heh
[06:00] <nixternal> or you can always come up to chicago... we can get greg from Michigan who helped us drink that one bottle outside at Mt. View :)
[06:00] <nxvl> i'm about to change my passport, it has no pages left!
[06:00] <nixternal> that's to much traveling
[06:00] <nxvl> i only have 6 more, and i bet that in europe i will use at least 2 more
[06:00] <nxvl> nixternal: well, i've visas too, so it's kinda cheating
[06:00] <nxvl> 2 us and 4 europeans
[06:00] <nixternal> i loved it when i was in the navy...never needed a passport way back then :)
[06:01] <nxvl> being a civilian is much more fun
[06:01] <nxvl> :D
[06:01] <nxvl> but i've a couple of friends who are officers in peruvian navy
[06:02] <nxvl> kinda kewl go to visit their ships
[06:02] <nxvl> but they didn't let me fire torpedos :(
[06:03] <nixternal> hahaha
[06:04] <nixternal> oh, speaking of pisco, there is a new liquor store by my house, that has it...i couldn't remember the brand or which ones, yes ones plural there, we plowed through
[06:04] <nxvl> i just hope is not the chilean poison :P
[06:04] <nixternal> guy said he could get me anything i wanted
[06:05] <nxvl> don't get absinth
[06:05] <nxvl> we tried that in Prague, is HORRIBLE
[06:05] <nixternal> i want the peruvian goodness?
[06:05] <nxvl> yup
[06:06] <nxvl> it's actually complete different liquor, but same name
[06:06] <nxvl> kinda complicated to explain
[06:06] <nxvl> but chilean pisco is what you usually get around the world
[06:06] <nixternal> ok...i will research some peruvian goodness and give him a list then
[06:06] <nixternal> i need to take some to jcastro's wedding :)
[06:06] <nxvl> i remember in berlin with dholbach we went to a bar that had pisco sour, and i said "i'm going to order a pisco sour and i bet i will get lemonade with chilean pisco"
[06:07] <nxvl> and guess what did i got?
[06:07] <nixternal> probably dog piss :D
[06:07] <nxvl> nixternal: queirolo is one of the most known brand of pisco
[06:07] <nixternal> careful drinking with dholbach
[06:07] <nxvl> nixternal: actually i got what i was expecting: lemonade with chilean pisco
[06:07] <nixternal> hehe
[06:07] <nxvl> but it tasted like dog piss
[06:08] <nixternal> yeah, when in berlin, drink what they are drinking, otherwise you will get dog piss
[06:08] <nixternal> my uncle lives there and he always warned me...don't ask for anything from anywhere else...
[06:11] <nxvl> well, my first experience with pisco outside peru was worst
[06:12] <nxvl> i was in boston with the MIT/GNU/neds crew in a bar near the harvard sqauare, grendels dean i think, and i asked a pisco sour, hoping to get something even close to one
[06:12] <nxvl> and i got a lemonade with pisco
[06:12] <nxvl> i didn't even try to ask where was that pisco from
[06:12] <nixternal> probably ocean water :)
[06:16] <nxvl> yeah, maybe
[06:16] <nxvl> that's why each time i see pisco sour in the list i order one
[06:16] <nxvl> to see if someone can give me a worst glass of dog piss
[06:17] <nxvl> kinda funny
[08:10] <dholbach> good morning
[08:22] <imbrandon> moins dholbach
[08:25] <dholbach> hey imbrandon
[08:26] <imbrandon> or should i say "baron" dholbach :)
[08:26] <imbrandon> lol
[08:26] <dholbach> pfffft
[08:26] <imbrandon> gotta admit that is kinda cool though
[08:27] <dholbach> imbrandon: somebody of my relatives actually dived into genealogy and found out that somebody of the Holbachs came from France, some time in 1700 or something - but I doubt we're in any way related to Monsieur d'Holbach ;-)

[13:38] <Breaking_Pitt> Hello I don't know if I can ask this here...
[13:38] <Breaking_Pitt> I'm creating some debian/ubuntu packages for my source code info tools
[13:38] <Breaking_Pitt> and i'm getting this error debian-files-list-in-source
[13:40] <callum1> Breaking_Pitt: which command are you running when you receive this error?
[13:41] <Breaking_Pitt> one moment, i'll pase it here
[13:41] <Rhonda> Breaking_Pitt: See lintian -i output for an extended explenation. And I think this isn't really the best channel to ask these questions - though don't know which others are prefered to be used for basic packaging issues. :)
[13:41] <Breaking_Pitt> that's great if you don't know... :)
[13:42] <Breaking_Pitt> lintian -iI bicho_0.0.1-1_i386.changes
[13:42] <Rhonda> Then you should have the extended description already which gives you hints on what to do.
[13:42] <Rhonda> "The clean rule for the package should remove this file." sounds pretty clear to me.
[13:43] <Breaking_Pitt> I'm completely newbie!
[13:43] <Breaking_Pitt> this is my first attempt
[13:44] <Rhonda> Actually, when you use debhelper in your rules file, dh_clean (or similar) should get rid of debian/files
[13:44] <Breaking_Pitt> my rules file only contains
[13:44] <Breaking_Pitt>  dh $@
[13:44] <Breaking_Pitt> this line
[13:44] <Rhonda> That should do that, then. %: in the line before, I expect.
[13:45] <Breaking_Pitt> let me see i think soo
[13:45] <Breaking_Pitt> %:
[13:45] <Breaking_Pitt>         dh $@
[13:45] <Breaking_Pitt> this is exactly what my rules file contains
[13:45] <azeem> Breaking_Pitt: is debian/files included in the .orig.tar.gz?
[13:46] <azeem> or the .tar.gz
[13:46] <Breaking_Pitt> let me see
[13:46] <Breaking_Pitt> yes azeem
[13:46] <azeem> that'd be it
[13:47] <azeem> it gets removed by dh_clean, but dpkg-source ignores deletions in order to create the .diff.g
[13:47] <azeem> z
[13:47] <persia> You may want to explicity add it to debian/clean or just ignore the warning.  Check your build log carefully.
[13:47] <azeem> Breaking_Pitt: or fix your upstream tarball, if you have control over it
[13:47] <Breaking_Pitt> ok
[13:48] <Breaking_Pitt> I'm totally newbie that's the reason why I'm here asking for help
[13:48] <Breaking_Pitt> I have read a lot of manuals
[13:48] <Breaking_Pitt> but I have some problems
[13:48] <Breaking_Pitt> i'm trying to build a package from python source code
[13:48] <Breaking_Pitt> do you know any other place where I can take a look at?
[13:48] <azeem> a look at what?
[13:49] <Breaking_Pitt> for more info
[13:50] <azeem> about what?
[13:50] <Breaking_Pitt> python source code packaging
[13:52] <persia> Breaking_Pitt: For 90% of software, there's almost no special packaging.  The key is to pick Python software that uses distutils properly.

[14:36] <callum1> hopefully a simple question...How do I add a recommended dependency to a binary package? ie where would I add this?
[14:45] <soren> callum1: debian/control
[14:48] <callum1> soren: ah see it now. I added it to build depends rather than depends >.< . is there a difference between a recommended depends and an actual depends?
[14:53] <soren> callum1: Yes.

[15:12] <Ciemon> all, I'm trying to find where the .desktop file is within a pacakge (before it's installed)

[15:15] <persia> Ciemon: How do you mean?  With what tools are you trying to extract?  Or do you mean at source build time?
[15:15] <Ciemon> at build
[15:15] <persia> Oh, could be anywhere, really.
[15:15] <Ciemon> hmm
[15:16] <persia> I've seen it in ./, ./src/, ./docs:/, ./data/, etc.
[15:16] <Ciemon> just working on a bug
[15:16] <Ciemon> you have 5 mins spare?
[15:16] <persia> Just ask questions.  If someone has the answer, they will answer.  May or may not be me.
[15:16] <Ciemon> ok :)
[15:18] <carstenh> Ciemon: maybe this helps: find . -iname '*desktop*'
[15:18] <Ciemon> the readme in extr-xdg-menus suggests simply add a line with: "Categories=HamRadio" to the .desktop file belonging to the package
[15:19] <Ciemon> However, I've just seen a package that has a /debian/menu file detailing the info needed
[15:19] <Ciemon> so.. is it .desktop or /debian/menu ?
[15:19] <persia> Should be "Categories=Network;HamRadio;" or "Categories=Audio;HamRadio;" according to http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html
[15:20] <persia> Yes :)
[15:21] <persia> .desktop works for XDG-compliant menu systems.  debian/menu works for debian-menu compliant menu systems.  The xdg-menu package will give access to the debian-menu system for xdg-menu compliant implementations.
[15:21] <Ciemon> heh, was that yes to .desktop or /debian/menu?
