| somethinginteres | how would one go about 'fixing' metadata in the software centre.. changing the descriptions I mean as part of the hundred papercuts milestone? | 06:40 |
| lifeless | I believe the descriptions are pulled from the packages themselvges | 06:43 |
| lifeless | I may be wrong - I have not looked closely at this | 06:43 |
| somethinginteres | ah you're correct - with that in mind do you know of how to change them? I'd like to help with this it seems like something a noob could help with | 06:44 |
| lifeless | I would start by comparing the description in launchpad (launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/package/) to what you see | 06:44 |
| ddecator | i know the descriptions shown in synaptic are written as a part of packaging the software. my guess is it's the same for the software center (especially if the descriptions are the same) | 06:44 |
| lifeless | right | 06:44 |
| lifeless | so if it looks the same | 06:44 |
| lifeless | then making a patch to debian/control in the package | 06:44 |
| lifeless | to make the description better | 06:44 |
| ddecator | or just changing it yourself and requesting a merge :) | 06:45 |
| lifeless | and putting that on a bug in launchpad (or a branch - there are varying ways depending on how fluent you are with this stuff) | 06:45 |
| lifeless | would be good | 06:45 |
| somethinginteres | I'm like brand new to actually *fixing* stuff rather than reporting... | 06:45 |
| ddecator | is there something wrong in the description, or do you just want to improve it? | 06:46 |
| somethinginteres | more just making things clearer in packages that are marked as being confusing for the paper-cuts milestone | 06:46 |
| ddecator | are you familiar with bzr at all? | 06:47 |
| somethinginteres | no not really, I'm happy to -become- familiar with it though :) | 06:48 |
| ddecator | if i can find the right wiki page, i can help you with that | 06:50 |
| somethinginteres | thanks just want to give a hand if I can.. if it's all over my head so be it but changing metadata shouldn't be much of problem to work out | 06:51 |
| ddecator | ah, found it finally | 06:54 |
| ddecator | somethinginteres: mind if i PM you? | 06:54 |
| somethinginteres | no problem | 06:55 |
| somethinginteres | can someone give a quick hand with forwarding a patch to debian? I have merge proposal at https://code.launchpad.net/~thelandofwa/ubuntu/maverick/bzflag/fix-desktop-05072010/+merge/29189 but I have been asked to forward it to debian with a patch instead of merging | 11:49 |
| ^arky^ | hi mvo | 11:57 |
| somethinginteres | should I just use 'debuild -s' on the folder that I pulled using bzr branch lp:? | 12:13 |
| baptistemm | build bd -S would be fine too | 12:17 |
| baptistemm | hmm "bzr bd -S" rather | 12:17 |
| somethinginteres | baptistemm: seems generate errors | 12:23 |
| somethinginteres | baptistemm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/459429/ | 12:24 |
| baptistemm | which are ? (use some pastebin services please) | 12:24 |
| baptistemm | you don't have all necessary packages to start building | 12:25 |
| baptistemm | install debhelp | 12:25 |
| baptistemm | install debhelper | 12:25 |
| somethinginteres | baptistemm: I've just run install on debhelper but terminal said it couldn't find 'debhelp' | 12:28 |
| baptistemm | debhel was a typo | 12:30 |
| baptistemm | I'm a typo specialist | 12:30 |
| somethinginteres | unfortunately I have another error - different this time (sorry, totally new to bzr especially forwarding to the debian people) http://paste.ubuntu.com/459431/ | 12:32 |
| baptistemm | somethinginteres, I guess coffeetastesawesome@gmail.com is not your email address? | 12:35 |
| somethinginteres | ah I see it isn't the one I used on launchpad | 12:39 |
| somethinginteres | baptistemm: do you know how I would change it to match so that the command executes? | 12:47 |
| baptistemm | it is the address used when you add an entry to debian/changelog | 12:48 |
| somethinginteres | ok I'll alter it and report back | 12:48 |
| baptistemm | often it automatically to the value of variable DEBEMAIL | 12:49 |
| somethinginteres | seems to still be having I problem I changed the DEBMAIL var - does my name need to also match exactly my LP a/c info? | 12:53 |
| ^arky^_ | Can anyone confirm bug 601350 | 14:34 |

| somethinginteres | yes I can confirm it ^arky^ | 14:36 |
| somethinginteres | do you want me to change it to "confirmed"? | 14:37 |
| ^arky^_ | somethinginteres: Can you reproduce it ? | 14:42 |
| ^arky^_ | mvo: Can you comment on this bug 601350 | 14:51 |

| somethinginteres | ^arky^ yes, the icon does not show for me | 14:56 |
| mvo | ^arky^_: sure. that is a little bit odd, I need to dig into the source to find out more | 14:56 |
| mvo | ^arky^_: fix will be part of the next app-install-data upload | 15:18 |
| ^arky^_ | mvo: thanks | 15:57 |

| Kangarooo1 | if i have bug in kernel to what post bug? linux-image-version or linux-headers-version ? | 16:53 |
| === Kangarooo1 is now known as Kangarooo | ||
| dutchie | Kangarooo: you can do "ubuntu-bug linux" which has magic to report things right | 16:54 |
| Kangarooo | ah ok that reports to linux-image-version | 16:56 |
| micahg | Kangarooo: no, it doesn't, kernel bugs go against the linux package | 16:57 |
| Kangarooo | in LP its posted to linux package. when i looked in apport +more info then package was written linux-image-version thats also strange. apport tells one but does another | 16:58 |
| micahg | Kangarooo: one is binary and one is source (linux) | 16:59 |
| Kangarooo | ah ok | 16:59 |
| Kangarooo | ok posted bug | 17:00 |
| Kangarooo | micahg: so ur my mentor in bugsquad mentorship? | 17:03 |
| micahg | Kangarooo: am I? | 17:03 |
| micahg | Kangarooo: you don't seem to have one assigned | 17:03 |
| Kangarooo | yesterday DrKenobi was calling me and u and i asked is that about mentorship and he said yes. so i assume so | 17:04 |
| * micahg doesn't think drkenobi has anything to do w/membership | 17:05 | |
| micahg | *mentorship | 17:05 |
| micahg | Kangarooo: he's looking for a mentor as well | 17:06 |
| Kangarooo | ah then i dont understand why he was also calling me and u in one line | 17:07 |
