kaushalis this the right channel to discuss about pxe image to install ubuntu server on a new server ?07:59
RhondaI don't think so, but I might be wrong.08:03

ryanakcaWhoever last merged a package made all of the changes inline. Is it better to lug around inline patches or can I add quilt to debian/control and manage them there?11:56
Laneydon't add a patchsys if there isn't one already11:59
sorenIt's a matter of taste, really.12:00
sorenIf there's already a bunch of patches applied "inline", I woulnd't recommend adding quilt to the mix. That would be very confusing.12:00
sorenIf the package has no patches applied, and you're going to add a bunch, I'd probably use quilt (perhaps by way of a 3.0 (quilt) format source package).12:01
sorenThe goal is to minimise a) confusion and b) effort to merge the stuff back to Debian.12:02
bilalakhtarHey there! If I have an Ubuntu.com e-mail address, can I maintain packages in ubuntu?12:02
sorenbilalakhtar: Anyone can maintain packages in Ubuntu.12:02
LaneyIf you mean "can I be the sole uploader", then probably not12:02
bilalakhtarsoren: I mean, having Maintainer: set to you in control12:03
sorenbilalakhtar: The Maintainer field can (at least in theory) be set to anything.12:04
bilalakhtarsoren: ok, read the wiki page, got it12:04
sorenbilalakhtar: But other people may still upload the package.12:04

shadeslayeruh... any ideas on this error : http://pastebin.com/875CDQMj .. im seeing it for the first time ( new upstream release of qtcreator )17:10
micahgshadeslayer: file in patch no longer exists?17:11
shadeslayermicahg: i removed the patch,same error....17:12
shadeslayer( in fact i removed the whole debian/patch folder )17:12
tumbleweedshadeslayer: the problem isn't with the patches you've got, but with the one it's trying to generate17:14
tumbleweedshadeslayer: my guess is clean is responsible17:14
shadeslayeruh.. ok...so edit the rules file?17:15
tumbleweedwell you need to find where that change is coming from17:15
shadeslayertumbleweed: hm... well i checked the sources and upstream is responsible i think...17:16
shadeslayerthere are new symlinks to files...17:16
=== IdleOne is now known as NickSpam
tumbleweedshadeslayer: the reason it's generating the patch is because that symlink was created inbetween source extraction and source building17:17
tumbleweedso probably in the clean rule17:18
shadeslayertumbleweed: what patch? there is no patch ...17:18
tumbleweedshadeslayer: source format 3.0 (quilt) takes all the changes you've made to the source outside /debian, and turns them into a quilt patch17:19
shadeslayerahh.. but i didnt change anything ...17:19
tumbleweedshadeslayer: but the clean rule gets run before the source package gets built17:19
shadeslayerah.. so effectively its because clean gets run,that causes changes to the source17:26
tumbleweedmy guess is that, yes17:26
shadeslayerhmm.. ill poke this some more...17:27
tumbleweed(btw, when working with 3.0 quilt packages, always check to see that you didn't generate a quilt patch by mistake)17:27
shadeslayertumbleweed: btw do patches contain info on how many lines have been changed? or just the position of the lines17:27
tumbleweedshadeslayer: man diffstat17:28
shadeslayertumbleweed: thanks17:28
shadeslayertumbleweed: btw how long will you be around?17:29
tumbleweedprobably all evening17:31
shadeslayerkool :D17:31
tumbleweed(/me shouldn't say that) :)17:31
shadeslayerhehe :D17:31
shadeslayertumbleweed: lol... i just cleaned out everything and ran debuild again and its working :P17:40
tumbleweedshadeslayer: good. just check that it hasn't generated a debian-changes-foo patch17:41
shadeslayernope17:41
shadeslayertumbleweed: btw can you help me with kdepim-runtime?17:42
shadeslayertumbleweed: oh wait... it just generated a patch17:42
shadeslayerdolphin refresh rates are low i guess....17:42
tumbleweedok, you need to stop it generating that patch17:43
shadeslayertumbleweed: how?17:43
tumbleweedsee what's in it, try adn work out where they came from17:43

abhi_navshadeslayer, you there?17:58
tumbleweedsorry, I timed out for a while there (ZA has big connectivity issues atm). shadeslayer: just delete those two files at teh end of clean?17:58
shadeslayerabhi_nav: yes17:58
shadeslayertumbleweed: ok17:59
shadeslayertumbleweed: just using rm -rf debian/patches17:59
abhi_navI am doint this from motu wiki17:59
abhi_navsudo pbuilder create --distribution $(lsb_release -cs) \17:59
abhi_nav>         --othermirror "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) main restricted universe multiverse"17:59
shadeslayeruh..17:59
shadeslayerabhi_nav: #ubuntu-packaging17:59
abhi_navwhat is this? it is now for long time just retriving each package and validating it17:59
tumbleweedshadeslayer: that's not a fix17:59
abhi_navshadeslayer, you free to talk naa?18:00
shadeslayerabhi_nav: kinda18:00
shadeslayertumbleweed: not a fix as in?18:00
shadeslayeryou mean i have to find the actuall problem and fix it? oh ok18:00
tumbleweedshadeslayer: deleting the patch after dpkg-source creates it is ugly at best18:00
shadeslayer:P18:01
shadeslayertumbleweed: btw why does that patch get created?18:11
tumbleweedshadeslayer: source format 3 has debian.tar.gz which only has the contetns of debian. It can't hold changes to other files, like .diff.gz can18:12
shadeslayerohh.. so  it gets converted to a patch...18:13
tumbleweedcorrect. But it's bad, you should create the patches yourself (and describe them decently in their header)18:13
shadeslayerhmm18:13
shadeslayerthat reminds me,i have to look at qipmsg as well :P18:14
=== NickSpam is now known as IdleOne
shadeslayertumbleweed: uh.. i think i found the issue18:48
shadeslayertumbleweed: i was basically renaming the extracted folder..18:48
shadeslayerso i think that caused the issue... renamed it from qt-creator to qtcreator18:49
tumbleweedglad you found it18:50
shadeslayertumbleweed: now you will have to sponsor the upload :P18:51
shadeslayerill just let it run through debuild once..18:52
shadeslayerafter kdepim is done :P18:52
tumbleweedtest in a pbuilder if you can18:53
shadeslayertumbleweed: sure... i can use that too.. its just that qtcreator takes about 90 mins to build :P18:53
shadeslayeri can use debuild -nc if something goes wrong with debuild18:53
shadeslayernot with pbuilder18:53
tumbleweedshadeslayer: /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/C10shell18:54
shadeslayertumbleweed: the hook that exits to shell?18:54
shadeslayeri have it.. can i run debuild nc with it?18:54
tumbleweedthat hook fires up a shell and installs vim so you can look around and try things. not too sure what you are asknig on the second line18:56
shadeslayertumbleweed: ^^19:00
shadeslayeroh sorry19:00
shadeslayertumbleweed: i meant that after i drop to shell,can i run debuild -nc ?19:01
=== Amto_res is now known as Amto`OFF
tumbleweedit's a root shell, and doesn't have devscripts installed, so I noramlly just do debian/rules binary19:01
shadeslayerhm19:02
tumbleweednot qidentical to building in fakeroot, but you can work out what's wrong, test solutions, and then try again19:02
tumbleweed"quite identical"19:03
shadeslayerok19:03

* shadeslayer needs help with revu comments 20:13
shadeslayerwell... anyone who can help with http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=8338 : last comment20:13
tumbleweedshadeslayer: what do you need help with in particular?20:16
shadeslayerah : * The last sentence of the short-gpl3+ is completely wrong in this context since we, as a debian system distribute the license in the mentioned location the reader of this file will in 90% of all cases not look at the source package but at the file as installed along the binary package.20:16
shadeslayerdont understand what apachelogger means :P20:17
tumbleweedshadeslayer: we change the sentance about writing to FSF to say that you can find the GPL3 in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3 on debian based systems20:17
shadeslayerhmm20:17

loneowais_Hey guys, I wrote an small app20:50
loneowais_a gmail/google apps notifier for ubuntu. Any chance of making it into the universe20:50
MTecknologythis may be a stretch but... is it possible to make a package that just changes configs? Like, apache has one config, I install a package that has apache as a dependency, and all it does it install a different config over it20:50
MTecknologyloneowais_: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/20:50
carstenhMTecknology: this would require a dpkg with support for config file diversions to work well.  there are some hacks around like config-package-dev.21:00
LaneyDo you have to overwrite? Apache has /etc/apache2/*-available and a2en* that you can use21:02
MTecknologyapache was an example21:03
MTecknologyI want to write a package for my servers that changes the configs for a few packages21:03
MTecknologyhalf the packages don't support /etc/default/21:04
carstenhpuppet is another hack to solce such things ;) an example config is available in the debian dsa git repository21:04
carstenhsolve21:04
LaneyI don't think there is a policy compliant way to do it21:04
MTecknology:(21:05
MTecknologyso I'd be better off actually tweaking the packages themselves?21:05
Laneyhave a look at policy ยง10.7.421:06
Laneybut of course if you don't intend to distribute the package then you can do whatever you like21:06
carstenhMTecknology: an tweak them again on every security upgrade? (btw dpkg-repack would be a tool to du such things)21:07
carstenhs/an/and/21:07
tumbleweedyou can preseed debconf settings, but not very much is exposed that way21:08
MTecknologyhttp://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html21:09
carstenhslack is another tool to handle config files21:09
MTecknologyoooh21:10
Laneya package probably isn't the best way21:10
MTecknologyeither slack is amazingly simple or there's not much for docs about it21:11
carstenhboth ;)21:11
MTecknologythanks :)21:11
carstenhMTecknology: dget the source package and check the files in it, the packaging is missing the most useful documentation21:12
MTecknologyalrighty, it looks like a really nice tool21:13
