micahgis misc:depends required on transitional packages?07:11
AnAntI don't think so, but lintian won't understand that07:17
AnAntso I just give lintian what it wants :)07:17
weedarI'd like to fix the package "openbios-sparc", which has no installation candidate and only exists as a source package in Ubuntu. The source-package has "Failed to build" for every release from Hardy to Maverick, but I think I know why07:44
macoweedar: this is the part where you either make a branch where it works or make a debdiff07:44
macoweedar: ever modified a package before?07:47
weedarmaco: I can't say that I have07:48
macoweedar: ok so im going to go through the shiny new ubuntu way with you... first: sudo apt-get install bzr ubuntu-dev-tools bzr-builddeb07:50
AnAntcould someone review/advocate http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=thawab ?07:52
weedarmaco: downloading/installing those now07:54
macok07:54
weedarThere are also two issues.. Firstly: the version in Lucid and Karmic,v1.0-1 (which is svn revision 463), is possible to compile but still doesn't really work - svn revisions 569 and 640 (this is the version in Maverick) do,however - so I'd like to provide one of those instead of making changes to the old (revision 464) one - is that a problem?07:54
macoweedar: does maverick's compile?07:55
macoi mean, does the package build?07:56
macoif so, then a backport could be used07:56
macoinstead of you having to make changes to each07:56
micahgSRU might be possible since it's FTBFS ATM07:57
macoyeah ive done that before07:57
weedarwhich brings me to the second issue: This package won't build for i386 "out-of-the-box", since it is a SPARC-based firmware (you can use it to run a SPARC-guest on an i386-system), you need cross-compiling support for sparc32 and sparc6407:59
micahgweedar: sparc is about to be dropped from Ubuntu08:00
weedarmicahg: Ah, just like it is for Debian then :(08:00
micahgweedar: debian's dropping it too?08:01
macodebian drops archs EVER?08:01
weedarI'll have to look around for the source to my claim, but I read it somewhere while looking into the problems with this package08:03
weedarBut even if I'm wrong about this, what is SPARCs future in Ubuntu? In the case of this package the package is meant to be (able to) run on i386, so technically it is a i386-package08:05
micahgweedar: unless someone steps up to maintain the toolchain, should be dropped shortly08:07
weedarAh, here's where I read about SPARC-in-Debian: http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_sparc_qemu.php - The line reading "Please note that Debian dropped SPARC32 support with Lenny, and that QEMU doesn't support (yet) SPARC64 targets."08:07
weedarincidentally that is the website of the debian-maintainer of the package I want to fix :)08:08
weedarmicahg: Would that mean that this package would also be dropped?08:10
micahgweedar: only if it's not maintained08:10
micahglike you said it's an i386 package08:11
weedarHopefully I can pick it up then :)08:12
weedarmaco: You asked if maverick's version compiles..I will try that now08:15
macowell just check whether there's a binary for maverick08:15
micahgmaco: , no it's FTBFS since hardy08:17
macoohok08:17
macoid say fix up maverick and then sru it backwards08:17
ScottKmaco and weedar:  There's no point in trying to fix Maverick.  Karmic, Lucid, and Maverick sparc flat out don't work.  I know there are sparc boxen running Hardy, so that might be worthwhile.08:21
macoScottK: but its a i386 package....08:22
ScottKmaco: Yes, but cross-compiling for sparc on a release where sparc doesn't work doesn't make a lot of sense to me.08:23
weedarScottK: the purpose of the package is to let you run SPARC-guests in qemu on an i386-system08:23
ScottKDoes it need a working sparc kernel?08:24
ScottKI guess the guests could be anything, so nevermind.08:24
weedarI wouldn't even need the package if it hadn't been decided to strip the openbios-binaries from qemu in Ubuntu08:24
ScottKOK.  Nevermind what I said then.08:25
micahgtumbleweed: you see my note before?08:35
tumbleweedmicahg: yes I assume this is re forwarding papercut description stuff08:36
tumbleweedmicahg: I forgot it was a permanent fork08:36
vishtumbleweed: hi , thanks for uploading those .. on a related note, i'v always had a doubt, why does the changelog mentioned by the janitor switch my name and email fields? it does the same thing always.. but when i view changelogs it is the same way i have uploaded them08:37
AnAntcould someone review/advocate http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=thawab ?08:37
tumbleweedvish: aah I was trying to remember where that issue was. Can you give me a bug number?08:39
vishtumbleweed: ex: Bug 602717 , but this is the same even for the humanity icon theme where i use bzr08:40
ubottuLaunchpad bug 602717 in amule (Debian) "Description: aMule" [Unknown,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/60271708:40
ScottKvish: It's because LP pulls information from your LP account, it doesn't just use what was uploaded.  I've no idea on what planet that seemed like a good idea.08:42
vishScottK: hmm , but my lp account doesnt have my full name08:43
vishsame when i used bzr: Bug #54013508:44
ScottKI'm not sure then as in my case it tends to use information from my account that's not what I uploaded.08:44
ubottuLaunchpad bug 540135 in humanity-icon-theme (Ubuntu) ""Getting things GNOME!" icon" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54013508:44
ScottKMaybe it uses some mix.08:44
micahgdepends on the bug, if it's an upload, it uses whatever is in the upload, if it's a sync, it uses the LP info AFAIK08:47
weedarThe source-package in Maverick doesn't build, because debian/rules demands you use native SPARC for compiling and doesn't try cross-compiling08:48
macoweedar: do you know how to fix that in the debian/rules?08:48
weedarmaco: I can fix that, but it still won't build..I'm trying to see why - if I check out the same revision from the openbios svn-repository it compiles just fine08:52
tumbleweedI don't know if it's possible: on Ubuntu we always build arch-all packages on i386, in debian maintainers can build it on whichever arch they need (because they do a binary upload)08:52
weedarI've also noticed that debian seems to offer some cross-compilation support directly, for example by having the package dpkg-cross - which doesn't exist in Ubuntu08:54
