| michaelh1 | Hi there. libatomic-ops-dev needs a one line source code fix to compile on later ARM versions. I'm new to this - could someone point me at the documentation on how to do this and submit it? (http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-build.en.html assumes a quilt patchset) | 00:01 |

| geser | michaelh1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff that should hopefully help you for the start | 00:17 |
| achiang | is there a way to get dpkg to just download the .deb of a package? | 00:28 |
| ebroder | achiang: aptitude has an aptitude download | 00:28 |
| achiang | ebroder: ah, thank you. i'll go read the man page | 00:28 |
| ebroder | I think I heard mvo say he added an apt-get download recently (i.e. natty only) | 00:28 |
| achiang | ebroder: aptitude download works.... almost. now i want to get a different arch. :) | 00:30 |

| c2tarun | i got this error while i was practicing packaging from a tutorial. http://paste.ubuntu.com/535431/ please help :( | 02:50 |
| ajmitch | c2tarun: that looks like quite an old version of brasero you're working with | 02:53 |
| c2tarun | i was working on a tutorial on this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/PackageUpdate | 02:53 |
| ajmitch | I suspect that needs to be updated to use a newer package. I think that version of brasero needs some patches to work on a recent system :) | 02:54 |
| c2tarun | ok, sorry sir i m not familiar with patching stuff now. infact brasero was my first package. any suggestions for me?? | 02:55 |
| * ajmitch is just trying to think of a fairly simple package that wouldn't be too problematic | 02:56 | |
| c2tarun | ok thank you sir :) i'll go for small and easy packages. | 02:56 |
| ajmitch | yeah, there should be a few that you could practice on :) | 02:57 |
| abuDawud | if a packaging assignment has been assigned to someone for a year and I want to work on it, is it okay for me to unassign it from them? | 03:10 |
| ajmitch | I'd generally comment on the bug first & see if there's any response after a few days, though you can probably get started on doing the packaging work | 03:11 |
| RAOF | abuDawud: I'd try pinging them first, in case there's a reason why it's been hanging around for a year. | 03:11 |
| ajmitch | also, check that it's not already in ubuntu, debian or on revu | 03:13 |

| quadrispro | hi all | 11:01 |
| andol | I have a question regarding the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto. Wouldn't I also want to have something like this in my configuration, to build against the latest packages? OTHERMIRROR="deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ $DIST-updates main restricted universe multiverse" | 12:09 |
| andol | (Actually I do suspsect there might be a good reason for only building against the base packages, I just don't know what it is.) | 12:09 |
| Rhonda | In some cases it's needed to build against updates, but in general it's preferred to not do so. | 12:11 |
| soren | Rhonda: Why? | 12:11 |
| * soren always builds with -updates and -security enabled. | 12:11 | |
| ari-tczew | BlackZ: how do you feel after meeting? are you discouraged to contribute? do you will continue strengthen main? | 12:12 |
| Rhonda | soren: To have least surprises. "Why not?" | 12:13 |
| BlackZ | ari-tczew: 1. it's ok; 2. no; 3. certainly. Why do you ask? | 12:17 |
| ari-tczew | BlackZ: I'm watching on contributors behaving and motivation. | 12:20 |
| soren | Rhonda: Because it's what the buildd's would do. | 12:22 |
| soren | Rhonda: ...and it's what my own box would do outside of a pbuilder. | 12:22 |
| Rhonda | soren: The buildds would do? Didn't check their configuration, with same priority, i.e. always pulling in updates, no matter if build-depends are sufficient in the regular release? | 12:23 |
| soren | Rhonda: Sure. | 12:23 |
| Rhonda | Actually that's not so "sure" to me | 12:24 |
| Rhonda | Otherwise I wouldn't ask or be astonished. :) | 12:24 |
| soren | Rhonda: -proposed builds against -updates and -security. | 12:25 |
| soren | If we don't even trust -updates ourselves, how could we expect our users to? :) | 12:26 |

| ari-tczew | how can I avoid to creating files in quilt3 'debian-changes'XXX' ? | 12:47 |
| kklimonda | ari-tczew: make sure that there are no inline changes to the source. | 12:47 |
| ari-tczew | kklimonda: there are not... it's related to handle debian/patches | 12:48 |
| BlackZ | ari-tczew: are you introducing a new patch or is it an existing one? | 12:49 |
| ari-tczew | BlackZ: I removed deprecated patch and add refreshed | 12:49 |
| BlackZ | ari-tczew: then pick up the reapplied changes from there and add them to the "deprecated patch". Be sure to run 'pop quilt -a' then remove the generated patch during the build | 12:50 |
| ari-tczew | BlackZ: example: bug 676303 | 12:51 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 676303 in konversation (Ubuntu) "[natty] indicator applet doesn't handle konversation notifications" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/676303 | 12:51 |
| BlackZ | ari-tczew: usually if upstream introduced minor changes in the files to be patched it should not be a problem to refresh the related patch(es) | 12:53 |
| BlackZ | ari-tczew: ah sorry, I mean "quilt pop -a" and not "pop quilt -a" :) | 12:55 |

| quadrispro | siretart, thank you very much :) | 14:07 |
| hrw | gaurava: you want to have serial console access to machine or to connect from your machine to serial console? | 14:07 |
| gaurava | i want to have serial console access to the machine .. | 14:07 |
| hrw | gaurava: ok | 14:08 |
| gaurava | actually i am following this article https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto | 14:08 |
| gaurava | i did all the steps as mentioned in it .. but still not getting any output on my serial console | 14:08 |
| hrw | gaurava: cd /etc/init/ cp tty1.conf ttyS0.conf? | 14:08 |
| siretart | hrw: that's not enough | 14:09 |
| siretart | "sed s,tty1,ttyS0, /etc/init/tty1.conf > /etc/init/ttyS0.conf" should do it | 14:09 |
| gaurava | currently my ttyS0 contains the following content: | 14:09 |

| soren | zul: eh? | 14:29 |
| achiang | mdeslaur: hi, thank you for uploading pbuilder for me; i see that it experienced a FTBFS, but looking at the build log, it looks... unrelated to my change | 14:29 |
| zul | soren: ie how much memory you allocate for m1.small | 14:30 |
| soren | How is that a "zone"? | 14:30 |
| mdeslaur | achiang: oh? | 14:31 |
| * mdeslaur looks | 14:31 | |
| mdeslaur | achiang: ugh :) | 14:31 |
| zul | soren: its not ill update the spec | 14:31 |
| achiang | mdeslaur: does that build log make any sense to you? | 14:31 |
| soren | zul: Yay. | 14:32 |
| mdeslaur | achiang: not yet, but i'm looking into it now | 14:32 |
| achiang | mdeslaur: i wonder if it's just natty toolchain issues, and not related to the uploaded debdiff at all. has pbuilder been built in natty yet anyway? | 14:33 |
| mdeslaur | achiang: it had (and it did locally for me with my outdated schroot) | 14:34 |
| mdeslaur | achiang: but I updated my schroot and it's not building locally anymore | 14:35 |
| achiang | mdeslaur: a quick scan of pbuilder.8 doesn't show any obviously illegal characters in vim | 14:37 |
| mdeslaur | achiang: yeah, and doing "LANG=C MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l pbuilder.8 >/dev/null" in a natty schroot works... | 14:37 |
| geser | I can reproduce this in my natty pbuilder (but not in my natty chroot) | 14:55 |
| geser | achiang: I've tested rebuilding 0.199ubuntu1 which fails too | 14:55 |
| achiang | geser: well, it's a small comfort to know that i didn't directly cause this issue. :-/ thanks | 14:56 |

| achiang | can someone help me recover from a bad natty dist-upgrade? it looks like xulrunner's postinst is hanging indefinitely. i killed the apt-get. my next thought was to purge xulrunner from my system since i use chrome, not firefox, but attempting to purge it seems to cause apt to want to reconfigure it or something... | 17:25 |
| persia | achiang, maintainer scripts live in /var/lib/dpkg/info/... and can be edited by root. If you make them completable, you can complete the dpkg operations. Fixing the system afterwards is an exercise for the user :) | 17:27 |

| \sh | achiang: that depends ;) | 17:31 |
| achiang | persia: is there a way to make apt a little more chatty? can i just stick a 'set -x' at the top of all the xulrunner maintainer scripts and try to see what's going on? | 17:32 |
| \sh | achiang: you can set -x to the maintainer script in the directory persia mentioned before and start it manually if you want | 17:32 |
| Sarvatt | achiang: fixed xulrunner-1.9.2 was uploaded already, hopefully it wont be too much longer :) | 17:32 |

| achiang | \sh: ok, right, that makes sense. i was just wondering if there was a more generic way to do it, but that's fine too | 17:34 |
| * persia usually modifies the stubborn maintainer script and then calls it with `dpkg --configure -a` | 17:35 | |
