[00:01] 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) [00:17] michaelh1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff that should hopefully help you for the start [00:28] is there a way to get dpkg to just download the .deb of a package? [00:28] achiang: aptitude has an aptitude download [00:28] ebroder: ah, thank you. i'll go read the man page [00:28] I think I heard mvo say he added an apt-get download recently (i.e. natty only) [00:30] ebroder: aptitude download works.... almost. now i want to get a different arch. :) [00:31] ah, append= === blueyed_ is now known as blueyed === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [02:03] i was using "sudo pbuilder build .dsc" to build a package, pbuilder found some packages and start downloadiing them. can anyone please tell where can i see the log of this activity??? === virtuald is now known as leagris === leagris is now known as virtuald [02:50] i got this error while i was practicing packaging from a tutorial. http://paste.ubuntu.com/535431/ please help :( [02:53] c2tarun: that looks like quite an old version of brasero you're working with [02:53] i was working on a tutorial on this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/PackageUpdate [02:54] 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 :) [02:55] ok, sorry sir i m not familiar with patching stuff now. infact brasero was my first package. any suggestions for me?? [02:56] * ajmitch is just trying to think of a fairly simple package that wouldn't be too problematic [02:56] ok thank you sir :) i'll go for small and easy packages. [02:57] yeah, there should be a few that you could practice on :) [03:10] 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? [03:11] 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] abuDawud: I'd try pinging them first, in case there's a reason why it's been hanging around for a year. [03:13] also, check that it's not already in ubuntu, debian or on revu [07:56] good morning! [08:01] hi dholbach ! [08:03] hey quadrispro === hannesw_ is now known as hannesw === hrw|gone is now known as hrw [11:01] hi all [12:09] 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] (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.) [12:11] In some cases it's needed to build against updates, but in general it's preferred to not do so. [12:11] Rhonda: Why? [12:11] * soren always builds with -updates and -security enabled. [12:12] BlackZ: how do you feel after meeting? are you discouraged to contribute? do you will continue strengthen main? [12:13] soren: To have least surprises. "Why not?" [12:17] ari-tczew: 1. it's ok; 2. no; 3. certainly. Why do you ask? [12:20] BlackZ: I'm watching on contributors behaving and motivation. [12:22] Rhonda: Because it's what the buildd's would do. [12:22] Rhonda: ...and it's what my own box would do outside of a pbuilder. [12:23] 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] Rhonda: Sure. [12:24] Actually that's not so "sure" to me [12:24] Otherwise I wouldn't ask or be astonished. :) [12:25] Rhonda: -proposed builds against -updates and -security. [12:26] If we don't even trust -updates ourselves, how could we expect our users to? :) === BlackZ_ is now known as BlackZ [12:47] how can I avoid to creating files in quilt3 'debian-changes'XXX' ? [12:47] ari-tczew: make sure that there are no inline changes to the source. [12:48] kklimonda: there are not... it's related to handle debian/patches [12:49] ari-tczew: are you introducing a new patch or is it an existing one? [12:49] BlackZ: I removed deprecated patch and add refreshed [12:50] 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 [12:51] BlackZ: example: bug 676303 [12:51] Launchpad bug 676303 in konversation (Ubuntu) "[natty] indicator applet doesn't handle konversation notifications" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/676303 [12:53] 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) [12:55] ari-tczew: ah sorry, I mean "quilt pop -a" and not "pop quilt -a" :) === yofel_ is now known as yofel [12:58] BlackZ: rather quilt pop, not pop quilt ;) [12:58] oh, you corrected already [12:58] Rhonda: :) [13:00] lol [13:56] i am backporting a fix to a debian synced package and debuild does not work unless 'Maintainer' has a @ubuntu email. what should i do? [13:57] om26er: strange - my ubuntu packages have non ubuntu email [13:57] om26er: run update-maintainer [13:57] (from ubuntu-dev-tools) [13:57] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField has the reason for it [14:00] tumbleweed, thanks worked [14:01] new-dev-process question: are persons who want to endorse me on a wiki page needs themself to be ubuntu developers? [14:03] hrw: It's not strictly required, but endoresements from developers are weighed more heavily. [14:03] ok thx [14:03] ScottK: and I understand why [14:05] hey all ... i am trying to set up a serial console in ubuntu 10.10 for debugging purpose but no luck till this time [14:06] quadrispro: congrats to core-dev membership! [14:07] siretart, thank you very much :) [14:07] gaurava: you want to have serial console access to machine or to connect from your machine to serial console? [14:07] i want to have serial console access to the machine .. [14:08] gaurava: ok [14:08] actually i am following this article https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto [14:08] i did all the steps as mentioned in it .. but still not getting any output on my serial console [14:08] gaurava: cd /etc/init/ cp tty1.conf ttyS0.conf? [14:09] hrw: that's not enough [14:09] "sed s,tty1,ttyS0, /etc/init/tty1.conf > /etc/init/ttyS0.conf" should do it [14:09] currently my ttyS0 contains the following content: [14:09] start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345] [14:09] stop on runlevel [!2345] [14:09] respawn [14:09] exec /sbin/getty -L 115200 ttyS0 vt102 [14:11] do i still need to do the changes as suggested by sietart ?? [14:11] gaurava: you can press [TAB] for autocomplete nicks [14:14] soren: just updated the workitems for the openstack-integration spec fyi [14:14] zul: url? [14:14] * soren likes things he can click on [14:14] soren: one sec [14:14] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/cloud-server-n-openstack-integration [14:15] ari-tczewsorry i didn't get it [14:28] zul: What are "zone files"? [14:29] soren: memory and disk sizes...ill change that in the spec [14:29] zul: eh? [14:29] 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 [14:30] soren: ie how much memory you allocate for m1.small [14:30] How is that a "zone"? [14:31] achiang: oh? [14:31] * mdeslaur looks [14:31] achiang: ugh :) [14:31] soren: its not ill update the spec [14:31] mdeslaur: does that build log make any sense to you? [14:32] zul: Yay. [14:32] achiang: not yet, but i'm looking into it now [14:33] 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? [14:34] achiang: it had (and it did locally for me with my outdated schroot) [14:35] achiang: but I updated my schroot and it's not building locally anymore [14:37] mdeslaur: a quick scan of pbuilder.8 doesn't show any obviously illegal characters in vim [14:37] achiang: yeah, and doing "LANG=C MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l pbuilder.8 >/dev/null" in a natty schroot works... [14:55] I can reproduce this in my natty pbuilder (but not in my natty chroot) [14:55] achiang: I've tested rebuilding 0.199ubuntu1 which fails too [14:56] geser: well, it's a small comfort to know that i didn't directly cause this issue. :-/ thanks === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler [15:36] hi! if some package is available in the updates/universe repo, how can I enable that repo in pbuilder? === bcurtiswx_ is now known as bcurtiswx [15:42] akoskm, by setting COMPONENTS properly in your pbuilderrc file (see man 5 pbuilderrc) [15:45] quadrispro, thank you [15:45] you're welcome [15:52] quadrispro: i hear you're a core dev now. congrats! =) [15:53] thanks hyperair ! [15:53] =) === hannesw_ is now known as hannesw [17:05] achiang: pbuilder is fixed. not your fault :) === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [17:09] mdeslaur: thank you. i did read some of the scrollback in #ubuntu-devel and saw that a) it was related to locales and b) you were doing a fine job of handling it, so decided to let you keep going. :) [17:10] achiang: by "doing a fine job", you mean "panicking", right? :P [17:11] mdeslaur: i note that the word 'euphemism' is composed of two greek words, 'eu', meaning 'good or beautiful' and 'phemism' meaning 'possible interpretation of random irc text'. [17:11] ;) [17:12] hehehe === hrw is now known as hrw|gone [17:25] 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... [17:27] 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 :) [17:31] persia: good hint. i'm a developer, i should be able to fix broken stuff, right? ;) [17:31] <\sh> achiang: that depends ;) [17:32] 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] achiang: fixed xulrunner-1.9.2 was uploaded already, hopefully it wont be too much longer :) [17:32] achiang: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.5/+bug/663294 is the problem [17:33] Sarvatt: ah, thank you for the fish. i am now requesting a fishing lesson. :) [17:34] \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 [17:35] * persia usually modifies the stubborn maintainer script and then calls it with `dpkg --configure -a` === akoskm is now known as akoskm`away [18:23] cjwatson: is it true, that do you planning sponsor bug 662276? if not, I'll subscribe ubuntu-sponsors [18:23] Launchpad bug 662276 in vim (Ubuntu) "Merge vim 2:7.3.035+hg~8fdc12103333-1 from Debian unstable" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/662276 [18:25] BlackZ: I found the merge bug, which could interest you ;) bug 507778 [18:25] Launchpad bug 507778 in acpid (Ubuntu) "Please merge acpid (1:2.0.0-1) from Debian testing" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/507778 [18:28] version is out of date [18:33] micahg: ? [18:34] ari-tczew, perhaps he means that the current Debian testing version is 1:2.0.6-1 [18:34] yep [18:35] micahg: and? [18:35] do you know, that launchpad has got option like edit bug? [18:35] ari-tczew: as far as I know cjwatson will sponsor it (once it reached the top of his queue) === maxb_ is now known as maxb === makl is now known as ximion [19:58] I have backported a PHP snapshot, based on the ubuntu package, but the build fails (without any clear error): http://launchpadlibrarian.net/59509213/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-i386.php5_5.3.4%7Esnap201011231530-0ubuntu1%7Eblueyedppa1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz - "dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2", but no real reason apparently. Hints? [20:01] blueyed, Not "no reason". Search above that point to find the errors that resulted in the final error returned by "debian/rules build". [20:01] build -> build-pear-stamp -> install-pear, apparently. [20:02] At which point it appears that some rule was running wget to download a file from pear.php.net (as part of the build process?!), but wget couldn't resolve the pear.php.net hostname [20:03] Haven't done launchpad builds myself, and don't know much about them, but I wouldn't be surprised if normal external net access were disallowed for security reasons or somesuch. [20:03] micahcowan: thanks, missed that and yes, that makes sense. I am not sure if the regular buildds allow network access?! will have to look into this later. === dapal is now known as dapalm === dapalm is now known as dapal [20:07] blueyed, micahcowan: the buildds don't have net access [20:21] achiang: fixed xulrunner-1.9.2 is out now [20:22] Sarvatt: ta! [20:26] Sarvatt: much better, thank you [20:27] achiang: thank chrisccoulson, he found the problem fast when I bugged him about it :) [20:29] Sarvatt: yes, i peeked at the bug and it looked hairy, having to read the disassembly to figure out the answer. /me thanks chrisccoulson === akoskm`away is now known as akoskm
