lfaraoneIf I'm writing a guide for people new to Debian/Ubuntu packaging to teach them how to package a specific type of software that has well-defined ways for operating and being distrubited, would it be acceptable to provide a skeleton akin to what dh_make produces but customized for this class of software?00:24
james_wcould you teach dh_make how to do the right thing for that class?00:25
lfaraonejames_w: Possibly. Ideally, I'm trying to make a solution that is akin to "just add water!" (source, description, copyright)00:26
lfaraonejames_w: it's using CDBS, so it might be rejected as duplication of the existing cdbs option, no?00:26
james_wpossibly, I don't know00:27
james_wdepends whether it's something like python, or like "sugar app" I guess?00:27
james_wpython module I mean00:27
lfaraonejames_w: sugar app.00:27
james_wI don't know if there is a useful distinction, but there may be one to the dh_make maintainer00:27
james_wyou could ask00:27
james_walways better to just have the tool do the right thing IMO00:28
ajmitchthere are a few separate tools around that do that00:30
lfaraonehmmm. dh_make supports templates. this may be the way to go.00:30
lfaraone*user supplied.00:30
lfaraoneajmitch: like waht?00:30
ajmitchlike dh-make-php, or similar stuff for CPAN modules00:31
ajmitch(which is dh-make-perl)00:32
ajmitchI'm not sure if you want to go down that path00:32

Ddordahey, i'm looking for an unpackaged program so i can gain experience. is there a list or something?01:29
ScottKDdorda: If you want to gain experience with packaging, fixing bugs and packaging patches is a much better way to do it.01:30
DdordaScottK: i want to learn how to package a program from zero, i guess that method won't fit for now, but after i'll know more i believe that this is what i'll do01:32

raywangTheMuso, hi, let's talk about it here.06:29
TheMusoraywang: ok sure.]06:29
raywangTheMuso, ok, thank you for taking your time to review packages. 0.3.2 seems have some bugs, and I plan to have you sponsor 0.3.1 instead, what do you think?06:30
TheMusoraywang: Sure, these pacakges won't be going into the Ubuntu archive proper. They will go into the accessibility-dev PPA, and possibly into vinux if the vinux devs want them.06:31
TheMusoraywang: At-spi2 will only be considered if its stable enough for every day use, which it seems it is not, so for maverick, we are sticking with at-spi v1.06:31
raywangTheMuso, that's good06:31
raywangTheMuso, alright, that makes sense, but at least there is somewhere that holds new at-spi2 for the people who wants them. :)06:32

dholbachari-tczew: as you can see from the debian bug tracker, nothing was ever forwarded from ubuntu to debian10:50
ari-tczewdholbach: you don't understand me. I mean _package has forwarded_ so Debian earlier doesn't got this package, but Ubuntu yes. Then later maintainer drag package from Ubuntu, adjust for Debian and pack in Debian newer upstream releases, but not in Ubuntu10:51
dholbachari-tczew: I don't think that's what happened10:52

ScottKmicahg: Is timeout still a separate binary or is it now embedded in an already existing binary package?17:02
gesertimeout is part of "coreutils" now17:04
gesermicahg: it looks like only chromium-browser build-depends on timeout, so it shouldn't be an problem to fix this one package (drop the build-dependency)17:05
micahggeser: k, he's working on that, ok, good to know there's no other issue17:05
ScottKmicahg: I agree with what geser said.  If it had been a lot of packages, then it might have been useful to have coreutils "Provide: timeout" as a transitional measure, although since versioned provides are supported, that kind of approach is not always completely satisfactory.17:06
micahgScottK: k, thanks17:07
gesermicahg: a versioned build-dependency on "coreutils >= 8.0 | timeout" might be in order to make sure a timeout binary is available (or fix the coreutils FTBFS)17:09
micahggeser: for chromium?17:09

gesercoreutils FTBFS on e.g. armel, and the currently available version doesn't have timeout yet, so on armel the timeout package is still needed until the coreutils FTBFS is fixed17:11

tonyyarussoAll right, I could use a bit of packaging help if there's anyone around.20:06
geserwhat kind of problem do you have?20:07
tonyyarussoFirst item of business:  I thought I'd try making a get-orig-source rule.  Upstream doesn't currently version the tarball, nor use a clear name, so it comes as linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz.  I need that to be something more along the lines of nagios-xi-agent-0.1.orig.tar.gz.20:07
tonyyarussoObviously just a mv would change the name of the tarball, but what about the folder it would unpack?  Wouldn't changing the name of that mess up the MD5?20:08
geserthe folder name doesn't matter to which in unpacks as long as it's one folder20:09
tonyyarussooh, all righty then20:11
tonyyarussoNext up:  I'm attempting to do this with debhelper (although I'm not sure if I really need to...), but I don't really understand what all of the different parts do and which ones I actually need.20:12
tonyyarussoMy package is platform independent.  All it does is a) pull in some dependencies, b) copy some perl & shell scripts to a directory created by one of those dependencies, and c) add some config options in /etc and restart a service.20:13

kklimondaari-tczew: the number of packages I have upload rights too doesn't have much to do with my observation skills nor with my knowledge about the project or policies. If you have asked your question in hope that there is a written policy "canonicaly employees/ubuntu-cure-dev members are allowed not to write as detailed changelog entries as everybody else" then you should rephrase your question and I23:39
kklimondawould not answer it like that. But your question is an open one so I've decided to answer it to the best of my knowledge.23:39
ari-tczewkklimonda: in the start I'd like to say that I'm not happy in answer by other language instead our native. I don't attack nobody, but only I said: if anyone require rules, he should require starting from himself.23:46
ari-tczewI've observed that only from me developers are require some special things and they don't respect me and my work.23:48
