Chipzzplayya_: the changelog should be in the debian dir, and hence end up in the .diff.gz00:51
Chipzzso you shouldn't have to upload multiple tarballs00:52
playya_hmm. yes00:52
playya_maybe is should just ask for a bzr import on launchpad00:52
playya_is it possible to build multiple packages from one bzr repo on lp?00:53
slangasekplayya_: backing up here, what is it you're trying to achieve?  Is this for a ppa, an SRU, a backport?00:54
playya_a ppa00:55
playya_i want to package vala-dbus-binding-tool, cornucopia, libfso-glib and maybe zhone from http://git.freesmartphone.org/00:56
slangasekplayya_: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading, https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Copying00:56
slangasekthough PPA usage is more on topic for #launchpad than here00:56
playya_ok00:56
slangasekas for building multiple packages from one bzr repo... yes, that's possible, though one-repo-per-package is the recommended convention generally00:57
playya_ok00:58
playya_if i try to test my stuff with pbuilder(native build), i get the following error: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables01:00
playya_i only know the error from cross compiling01:00
slangasekplayya_: sounds like you haven't installed the 'build-essential' metapackage in your environment01:04

playya_i was my ccache setup :/01:11
SpamapSwhen I use pbuilder to try and rebuild elinks, I get this: Dependency is not satisfiable: liblua50-dev01:18
SpamapSbut liblua50-dev is available.. do I need to re-create my maverick environment?01:18

samliuhey there, I was wondering if someone could answer some questions about packaging on ubuntu for me?01:50
samliuI'm trying to package a tomcat-driven web application01:51
samliuso far I've read all of http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/01:51
samliuand I've managed to create a .deb01:52
samliubut it has nothing inside it...01:52
samliuam I supposed to have a makefile and install file?01:52
samliuI dont have either01:52
samliumy software takes like 240mb too01:52
samliubut the .deb has only 1.7kb for some reason01:52
arandSpamapS: sudo pbuilder update --override-config   rather.01:53
samliuI guess my question is, how do I turn my application into a .deb package01:53

CynthiaGWhat is DIF in Ubuntu terms? I try to Google 'Ubuntu DIF' and it asks me if I mean 'diff'.02:15

apwtseliot, where do i find the current source for bcmwl, the links seem to be wrong11:00
apwtseliot, or is it just to use the apt-get source job ?11:01
tseliotapw: what link are you looking at?11:01
apwtseliot, when you apt-get source ...11:02
apwNOTICE: 'bcmwl' packaging is maintained in the 'Bzr' version control system at:11:02
apwhttps://code.launchpad.net/~broadcom-sta-hackers/broadcom-sta/ubuntu11:02
apwPlease use:11:02
apwbzr get https://code.launchpad.net/~broadcom-sta-hackers/broadcom-sta/ubuntu11:02
apwbut that doesn't seem to match the real source11:02
tseliotapw: it looks like someone forgot to commit his changes to the bzr branch...11:03
tseliotapw: so, yes your best bet is either apt-get source or https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl11:03
apwtseliot, man this bzr stuff just gets in the way, specially when people arn't using it :/11:04
apwtseliot, i've got a fix for bcmwl for 2.6.35, is there a way to say 'this patch applied for 2.6.35 and later ?11:04
apwtseliot, in the dkms.conf ?11:04
tseliotapw: right, you can specify it there11:05
apwtseliot, whats the syntax?  i found how to make it for exactly 2.6.3511:05
tseliotapw: something like11:05
tseliotPATCH[0]="vga_arbiter_workaround.patch"11:06
tseliotPATCH_MATCH[0]="^2.6.35"11:06
apwis that not just equal to though?11:06
tseliotyes, let me find the proper syntax for that11:07
apwtseliot, the manuals are awful for this thing :/11:07
tseliotapw: you can bug superm1 about it :-P11:07
apwheh11:08
apw                echo $1 | egrep -q "${PATCH_MATCH[$index]}"; then11:08
apwtseliot, seems its checked that way, so i think you can only say 'for this version'11:09
apwtseliot, i only need it because i would like the updated bcmwl packages to be installable on lucid, as a lot of us use the latest kernel in lucid this early in the cycle11:09
tseliotapw: I'm pretty sure that something like either 2.6.3[5-6] or 2.6.3[5|6] was allowed11:09
apwyeah i guess we could do something like that11:10
apwtseliot, so if i get this built and tested in PPA would you be able to sponsor it for me11:10
tseliotapw: sure11:10
tseliotapw: I was right. Here's what I found in http://linux.dell.com/dkms/dkms-ols2004.pdf (mentioned in the man page): PATCH_MATCH[0]="2.4.[2-9][2-9]"11:13
tseliotalso make sure that the number that you use in both PATCH[0] and PATCH_MATCH[0] (i.e. 0 in this case) is not already in use11:14
tseliotby some other patch in dkms.conf11:14
apw'^2.6.(3[5-9]|[4-9][0-9])-' looks to be the thing11:15
apwtseliot, yeah we already have 311:15

Sarvattany chance for oprofile rebuild against the new binutils so llvm-dev is installable? one was just uploaded today to rebuild against last weeks binutils but there was another newer binutils released right after..19:45

lfaraoneShould SRU bugs that are waiting for approval be triaged, or fix committed?22:22
JFolfaraone, my money is on Triaged as they will not get committed until they are approved for the SRU22:31
* micahg thinks there's a script which sets status and comments for them22:31
cjwatsonlfaraone: makes no difference to SRU processing.  I tend to use In Progress personally but I wouldn't "correct" it if I saw something different22:39
ajmitchdarn, I just changed a bug away from 'in progress'22:40
geserRiddell: in what way got bug 586509 fixed? LP doesn't list a git source package for maverick and I don't see it in the new queue either (or did I miss something)22:40

lfaraonecjwatson: ah, mk.22:41
Riddellgeser: hmm, the version number is too small22:42
ajmitchwith an epoch?22:42
Riddellgeser: hardy had 4.3.20-12  so syncing version 1.7.1 won't work22:43
geserRiddell: 1:1.7.1-1 is bigger than 4.3.20-1222:43
Riddellalthough.. it does have an epoch22:43
Riddellthere's also this error22:43
RiddellE: git-core is in main but its source (git) is not.22:43
cjwatsonthere's a sync-source option for that22:44
cjwatsonit requires a switch because that's a situation an AA should check manually (it'll probably involve making sure the new source is overridden to main)22:45
gesergit-core got renamed to git, so it has to be moved to main too (git-core was in main)22:46
* Riddell tries the --force-more switch22:47
geserthere was a different git in the archive in the past, therefore git (the VCS) got named git-core but as appararently enough time has passed it got renamed to git22:47
Riddellthat did it22:48
aganicehey, i'd like to release this kobo ereader app thing to the multiverse repository, who should i talk to?22:48
lifelessis it packaged? do you have upload rights?22:50
aganiceit's packaged as a .deb, and the project lead at the company asked me to find out how to offer their app in the repository, so yesish to upload rights?22:51
NCommanderlamont: I think it might just be easier to do a longer timeout as I keep not finding time to change the packaging, then test to make sure it will build22:51
lifelessaganice: upload rights is an ubuntu thing22:51
geserRiddell: as the new "git" source package builds the same binary debs as the current "git-core" will it be automatically picked up (by some script) that "git-core" can be removed or is a bug needed?22:52
aganicelifeless, thanks. the answer is no, then, clearly :p22:52
lifelessso, if you want it in multiverse, I'd start by putting it up on REVU and getting the packaging reviewed, then when its ready an Ubuntu developer can 'sponsor' it into the archive for you.22:52
Riddellgeser: git-core will appear in the NBS list soon and an archive admin will remove it one day22:52
aganicelifeless, thanks very much!22:53
lifelessaganice: alternatively, you can become a canonical partner (details on the website, I can find a link for you if you like), and it can be uploaded to the Canonical partner archive.22:53
cjwatsonit'll probably happen more or less as soon as it has no reverse-dependencies22:53
geserRiddell: NBS lists also source packages without any binary debs left too? (all binary debs build from git-core (source) are now build by git (source))22:54
cjwatsonno, it doesn't22:55
aganicelifeless, thanks very much, i'll do that.22:55
cjwatsonremoval of obsoleted source packages does require a bug22:55
ari-tczewRiddel: why do you sync package without information who has uploaded the package?22:55
geserok, will file one once git got build22:55

slangasekcjwatson: multi-catalog> oh; the usual problem is that PC BIOSes don't know to check the architecture field.  Have you made sure the BIOS boot image is first?22:57
* slangasek ran into this when trying to build multiarch i386+amd64+ia64 ISOs22:57
cjwatsonpretty sure grub-mkrescue puts it first22:58
lamontNCommander: ok.  give me a source-package name and a timeout :p  I'll be rolling a new lp-buildd today or tomorrow and would love to put it in thene22:58
lamontthen, even22:58
slangasekcjwatson: ok - then that solves the only problem I knew of at the time, which was PCs trying to boot the first el torito image regardless of architecture :)22:59
Riddellari-tczew: such as which?22:59
NCommanderlamont: qt4-x11, 10 hour timeout?22:59
Riddellari-tczew: tab completion advised on irc else I won't see your message if you misspell my nick22:59
cjwatsonslangasek: (I could be wrong, do you know an easy way to check?)22:59
lamontNCommander: is that a WAG, or expected max?23:00
NCommanderlamont: WAG23:00
slangasekcjwatson: my memory is fuzzy on that part, sorry.  I thought it was a matter of the ordering of the arguments to mkisofs23:00
lamontNCommander: ok23:00
cjwatsonmm, well this is using xorriso at least in part because I think it permitted hybrid ISO/USB images23:00
cjwatsonwe definitely put the BIOS options first though23:01
cjwatsonslangasek: I think the assertion in the Fedora wiki page was that some BIOSes just plain didn't like multi-catalog at all, but I couldn't find citations23:01
ari-tczewRiddell: I forgot about tab, sorry. Today sync seems to be ok, but 18th May you did syncs without uploader information23:02
NCommanderlamont: disregard, qt4-x11 magically fixed itself it seems23:02
Riddellbryceh: xf86-input-evtouch is blacklisted from sync, should I change that for bug 589535 ?23:02

brycehRiddell, yeah it needs fakesync23:02
cjwatson(FWIW, the image I have boots in kvm both normally and with an EFI firmware image)23:02
cjwatsonari-tczew: exactly what uploader information do you mean?23:03
Riddellbryceh: ok, will you do that?23:03
lamontNCommander: coolness23:03
ari-tczewcjwatson: in launchpad "Uploaded by" and there person who has requested sync23:04
cjwatsonari-tczew: do you mean that the person who requested the sync is there and shouldn't be, or that it shouldn't be there but is?23:04
slangasekcjwatson: well... could be, but that would imply malice on the part of the implementor instead of just stupidity :)23:05
NCommanderlamont: maybe disregard the disregard ...23:05
brycehRiddell, is there anyone else that can do it?  it should be pretty trivial but I'm kinda tied up at the moment23:06

lamontsince the upload is to specifically address that23:07
brycehin fact, there may be an open question if we should just drop -evtouch.  I think rickspencer3 was suggesting that course of action for maverick23:07
brycehbut I'll leave that to RAOF to consider23:08
rickspencer3was I?23:08
cjwatsonari-tczew: assume accident rather than malice, then23:08
ari-tczewI see language barrier23:09
cjwatsonhmm?23:09
cjwatsonslangasek: excessive assertions of what they mistakenly believed to be correct, perhaps - hard to tell with BIOSes23:10
slangasekindeed :)23:10
cjwatsonI have to say I'm not sure how to make Intel Macs continue to use the BIOS boot loader23:11
cjwatsonpresumably they'll notice that the EFI catalog entry is there and use it if they can23:11
slangasekI would imagine so23:11
=== IdleOne_ is now known as IdleOne
slangasekthough given that most of the El Torito spec was written for Apple's benefit, perhaps their implementation is smart enough that you can point it at a better option23:12
slangasek(well - not most of the El Torito spec perhaps, but most of the multi-catalog support)23:13
slangasekcjwatson: hah - I have a cdrkit patch on my hard drive from 2007 to add a -eltorito-efi option to permit setting the correct platform ID23:19

cjwatsonslangasek: I'm not sure I want to rip out grub's use of xorriso at this point :)23:22
cjwatsonthough it might not hurt for reference23:22
slangasekright :)23:22
slangasek"Mark El Torito boot image for use with EFI (Itanium)" - <chuckle>23:24
slangasekcjwatson: http://people.canonical.com/~vorlon/cdrkit-eltorito-efi.patch23:25
slangasekthe other key part, as I said, is the ordering of the options to genisoimage23:25
slangasek(which I have recorded here as well if it's useful)23:26
cjwatsonthanks, sure23:27
cjwatsonFWIW, the image I posted was generated by an *almost* vanilla grub-mkrescue from grub trunk23:27
cjwatsonthe only thing I changed was a bit of brutalisation to get it to know where to find the BIOS and EFI modules at the same time, since those two grub packages aren't coinstallable yet23:28
cjwatsonwhich essentially meant running it from the build tree with a hacked prefix and copying some files about23:28
* slangasek nods23:28
slangasekcjwatson: http://people.canonical.com/~vorlon/multiarch-cd.txt, then23:29
cjwatsonright23:30
cjwatsonFWIW I think the arguments here are coming out as -b boot/grub/i386-pc/eltorito.img -no-emul-boot -boot-info-table --embedded-boot embed.img --efi-boot efi.img23:31
cjwatsonor words to that effect23:31
cjwatsonwhere efi.img is a FAT filesystem image with /efi/boot/bootx64.efi and /efi/boot/bootia32.efi in it23:31
cjwatsonsome of these are probably xorriso-specific options23:31
=== sconklin is now known as sconklin-gone
slangasekwhat does the --embedded-boot do?23:33
cjwatsonI think it's an alias for -generic-boot23:37
cjwatson:q23:38
cjwatsondodh23:38
cjwatsonyou know it's late when you can't spell doh23:38
CynthiaGand when you type :q in the wrong window, 5 seconds in-between23:38
cjwatsonslangasek: source for this is http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2010-04/msg00000.html and thread, you may do better than I at deciphering it23:41
cjwatsonslangasek: oh, this is from the el torito spec I think23:44
cjwatsonslangasek: if you have it in front of you, there's a figure on page 6 labelled "Three types of CD-ROM configuration", and the one labelled "Multiple Boot-Image Configuration" has a bootable disk image in the first 16 sectors, which is normally unused in single-catalog configurations23:45
cjwatsonslangasek: that's what this is doing23:45
slangasekah, right23:45
cjwatsonslangasek: the effect of this, I think, is to make it bootable as a USB stick as well23:47
* slangasek nods23:47
cjwatsonor possibly a floppy23:49
cjwatsonI know that nowadays grub-mkrescue produces a single image that's all three at once23:49
cjwatsonbarry: ooh, your MBP says i386-pc, that's interesting23:51
cjwatsonthat implies that, given the choice between BIOS and EFI boot images, it picks BIOS23:51
cjwatsonbarry: do you have some kind of special arrangement with refit or whatever, or is that all bypassed here?23:51
cjwatson(BTW this is the desired situation!  it's just slightly unexpected)23:52
