[01:48] <bdrung> ari-tczew: "You can remove field XSBC-Original-Maintainer and move your person to Maintainer field as this package is not coming from Debian" - thats wrong (and dpkg-source will complain)
[01:48] <bdrung> ari-tczew: the maintainer needs to have a @ubuntu.com address in Ubuntu.
[01:49] <bdrung> ari-tczew: why should we upgrade to debhelper 8? what benefit does it bring us over debhelper 7?
[01:50] <ari-tczew> bdrung: ah right, @ubuntu.com address.
[01:50] <bdrung> ari-tczew: btw, i was referring to http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/wallch
[01:50] <ari-tczew> bdrung: I know what are you reffering to.
[01:50] <ari-tczew> bdrung: keeping up-to-dated QA standards
[02:15] <paissad> guys, i have debian/patches/ & debian/.pc directories, i use quilt in order to apply the patches, ... i only set debian/source/format to "3.0 (quilt)"
[02:16] <paissad> but except when i i manually copy (rsync) debian/.pc to sourceDir/.pc ... my build fails (debuild)
[02:16] <paissad> actually, the patches from debian/patches are not considered automatically
[02:17] <paissad> apart from have the patches in debian/patches & source/format, is there something i'm missing ?
[02:25] <Bachstelze> paissad: did you add the patches to debian/patches/series ?
[02:25] <paissad> Bachstelze, yes
[02:26] <paissad> Bachstelze, actually i think i know what is the problem, 2 sec please
[02:27] <paissad> actually, no i don't know what's the problem ^^
[02:28] <Bachstelze> I'm not sure I understand either
[02:28] <Bachstelze> what do you mean by "not considered"?
[02:39] <paissad> Bachstelze, well, i have pms-linux-$VERSION/debian/patches/
[02:39] <paissad> QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
[02:39] <paissad> QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="-p ab --no-timestamps
[02:39] <paissad> here is the tree of pms-linux-$VERSION/.pc -> http://dpaste.com/291751/
[02:40] <paissad> here is the tree of debian/patches/ --> http://dpaste.com/291752/
[02:42] <Bachstelze> paissad: one moment please, I'm in the middle of writing a Very Important™ email :)
[02:42] <paissad> don't bother mate ^^
[05:23] <wolfric> as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/693962 would this be a fair task for motu? Someone suggested i give packaging it myself a shot and from the brief read on the wiki, motu seems quite interesting and community friendly
[05:24] <wolfric> would this be a suitable candidate for me to try package?
[05:50] <micahg> wolfric: yes, it's probably just missing from the install file
[06:09] <wolfric> micahg: as in the aircrack deb install file?
[06:09] <micahg> wolfric: the .install file in teh debian dir if it exists
[06:42] <sagaci> wolfric: have you done much packaging
[06:50] <mase_wk> lo people. I am getting this error "debian/changelog(l5): found eof where expected first heading" from my debuild -S -uc -us
[06:50] <mase_wk> here is my changelog http://pastebin.ca/2032626
[06:50] <mase_wk> i am unsure why it's complaining about the file, it looks very similiar to
[06:50] <mase_wk> http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-dpkgchangelog
[06:51] <micahg> mase_wk: you have no release name, source package shouldn't be capitalized
[06:51] <mase_wk> ok, what is the release name meant to reference ?
[06:51] <mase_wk> the release of the distro ?
[06:51] <micahg> mase_wk: yes
[06:52] <mase_wk> so Maverick Meerkat or just Maverick , do i use capitals for that ?
[06:52] <micahg> mase_wk: maverick, lower case, but only if this is for a local build or PPA, not REVU
[06:53] <mase_wk> i am unsure what REVU is. This isn't actually going into the distro, i would like it to go into an apt repository which i host somewhere
[06:54] <mase_wk> at least initially
[06:54] <micahg> mase_wk: ah, ok, maverick is fine then
[06:55] <micahg> mase_wk: to get the correct format, you can use dch --create
[06:56] <mase_wk> well i did use that initially but i didn't realise the case was important and i didn't know what release was referring to so i just removed it :)
[06:57] <mase_wk> so out of curiosity, what happens if debian people want to use this apt repo ? can they or do i need a debian install in order to create something that they can use ?
[06:57] <mase_wk> debian people = people who use debian :)
[06:59] <mase_wk> also i am getting a sh: gcc: not found, however this project is entirely PHP so why do i need gcc ?
[07:06] <micahg> mase_wk: part of build-essential?
[10:49] <shankao> hi! against which package should be filled "please sync..." reports? (i.e.: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/612518)
[10:50] <shankao> xen 3.3? should be left in the general "ubuntu" package?
[10:59] <shankao> found a dup (#378240) in xen-3.3, I will mark it as such
[14:03] <micahg> shankao: sync and merge bugs have a different workflow than regular bugs
[14:08] <shankao> so, should they be assigned to the general "ubuntu" package?
[14:11] <shankao> I mean, how do they get known to the proper people?
[14:12] <micahg> shankao: no, there are processes for them, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/#MOTU Processes, please don't touch them unless you understand the processes
[14:13] <shankao> ok, I see
[14:13] <shankao> thanks for the info
[15:40] <pulb> hi guys! bilal just suggested me to come here and ask for a package review. The package is called Basenji was uploaded  here http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=8714 some time ago .Its lintian clean and just needs a review.  would be awesome if someone could do that :-)
[15:47] <ari-tczew> pulb: I'll have a look later. what did you do to get package in Debian?
[15:49] <pulb> ari-tczew: great! I didn't upload it to debian, just to revu. I'm using ubuntu and didnt find the time yet to check if it builds on debian
[15:51] <hugo_> hello
[15:52] <hugo_> Is it possible to migrate a package from getdeb.net to official debian repositories?
[15:58] <ari-tczew> yes, it is
[18:39] <DktrKranz> bdrung: congrats!
[18:40] <highvoltage> moo
[18:42] <sebner> bdrung: congrats! :)
[18:42] <vorian> what'd he do DktrKranz?  dd?
[18:42] <DktrKranz> vorian: exacly, just now
[18:42] <sebner> vorian: yeah
[18:42] <vorian> coolio, congrats bdrung
[18:44]  * maco claps
[19:03] <hakermania> what happened to bdrung?
[19:15] <bdrung> DktrKranz, sebner, vorian: thanks.
[19:16] <bdrung> my irc client celebrates a highlighting festival. ;)
[19:18] <hakermania> bdrung: Congrats :) but for what?
[19:18] <bdrung> hakermania: DD - Debian Developer
[19:19] <bdrung> hakermania: now i have full upload rights to both worlds
[19:19] <hakermania> bdrung: Ouao. :)
[19:21] <bdrung> muhahaha
[19:25] <micahg> bdrung a DD now?  very cool
[19:25] <bdrung> micahg: yes :)
[19:32] <DktrKranz> bdrung: go for Archive-Admin and FTP Team too, so you'll have full breakage rights too ;)
[19:35] <Laney> I just lost my almost-completed T&S reply
[19:35] <Laney> this makes me sad and angry
[19:36] <DktrKranz> I imagine...
[19:36]  * sebner hugs Laney :(
[19:36] <Laney> unfortunately I was asked every single question too, so it was rather long
[19:38]  * DktrKranz printed the questions, and answered on-paper during lunchtime in office
[19:38] <DktrKranz> quite old-style, but worked good :)
[19:46] <hakermania> Ey, how do I do that? ***hakermania had a coffe
[19:57]  * geser explains hakermania how to use /me
[20:02]  * hakermania says
[20:02] <hakermania> geser: cool, thx
[20:05] <tumbleweed> bdrung: congrats :) (sorry missed your messages last night)
[20:05] <bdrung> tumbleweed: thanks
[20:06] <tumbleweed> geser: any idea why ubuntutools.lp.lpapicache.Distribution('ubuntu') takes a lot longer than launchpadlib.launchpad.Launchpad.login_anonymously('testing', 'production').distributions['ubuntu'] (it seems to transfer a lot of data)
[20:09] <tumbleweed> geser: 10s vs 2s
[20:10] <geser> did you use anon-login also in the ubuntutools.lp.lpapicache case?
[20:10] <bdrung> tumbleweed: why do we need ubuntutools.lp.lpapicache?
[20:10] <tumbleweed> it defaults to that, right?
[20:10] <geser> tumbleweed: no, default is normal login
[20:10] <tumbleweed> bdrung: it caches results (but yes that was my first question too)
[20:11] <bdrung> tumbleweed: and launchpadlib doesn't?
[20:11] <tumbleweed> geser: err yes that was it, sorry :(
[20:11] <geser> bdrung: before lpapicache the several functions from requestsync all refetched the object they needed through the LP API make the script unnessarily slow
[20:12] <geser> bdrung: no, unless you pass the fetched object around
[20:12] <bdrung> geser: can't we improve requestsync instead?
[20:12] <bdrung> geser: introducing object that store the launchpad objects?
[20:13] <geser> bdrung: that's what lpapicache does
[20:20] <geser> bdrung: lpapicache does it in a singleton style: doing Distribution('ubuntu') in one function and the same in a different function gives you the same object (fetched only once)
[20:49] <lifeless> bdrung: launchpadlib has to be conservative about caching; client code can be more aggressive where it has domain knowledge suggesting safety
[22:47] <hakermania> ari-tczew: new package for wallch uploaded with one warning about the maintainer field (I was told by you to remove the XSBC-Original-Maintainer field at your comment. Please, if you have some time check it out.
[22:47] <hakermania> http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/wallch
[22:57] <mase_wk> what is the difference between the source formats quilt and native and what would make me choose one over the other ?
[22:59] <micahg> mase_wk: native has no upstream tarball
[23:00] <mase_wk> ok cool that is what i want then :)
[23:01] <mase_wk> do i still use debbuild -S -uc -us if my source format is native ?
[23:01] <mase_wk> nm it's created everything..just in the dir above
[23:01] <mase_wk> which i guess makes sense
[23:12] <bdrung> mase_wk: what do you package?
[23:13] <mase_wk> this is my first package. It's an application framework called timber
[23:14] <mase_wk> i have a file called build.xml, an ant compatible build tool called phing is used with timber
[23:15] <mase_wk> however it's complaining that it can't run ant clean
[23:15] <mase_wk> but i don't really want / need ant as a dependancy
[23:16] <mase_wk> how can i tell debbuild to ignore it ?
[23:16] <bdrung> mase_wk: this application is not Ubuntu specific?
[23:16] <mase_wk> no
[23:16] <mase_wk> the layout is ubuntu / debian specific
[23:17] <mase_wk> the fedora / RH use a different directory layout but that's about it
[23:17] <kklimonda>   /b 10
[23:17] <bdrung> mase_wk: then it shouldn't be a native package.
[23:18] <mase_wk> then it requires me to have an upstream tarball...which i don't have / want. I have a git repo which contains a branch which has only the debian dir in it
[23:18] <mase_wk> the idea being that i merge the debian branch and the master branch and run debuild and instapackage
[23:19] <bdrung> mase_wk: your upstream branch should be put into a tarball. you could add a "dist" target to build.xml to generate the tarball.
[23:20] <mase_wk> well a) build.xml isn't actually getting used at the moment
[23:20] <mase_wk> it's just there as a placeholder , but it will be in the future
[23:20] <mase_wk> although for unit tests and documentation
[23:20] <mase_wk> not as part of the install routine.
[23:21] <mase_wk> but if i do ever try and get this into debian i will do that.
[23:21] <oojah> mase_wk: You can/should create a tarball by making a get-orig-source target in debian/rules
[23:22] <oojah> (as I understand it)
[23:24] <oojah> There's an example in http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/maverick/sqlite3-pcre - download and extract the .debian.tar.gz file listed on the right.
[23:24] <mase_wk> oojah: ok, so then i just put the instructions for making my source tarball in there?
[23:24] <oojah> Bottom, not right.
[23:24] <oojah> mase_wk: It actually makes the source tarball.
[23:25] <mase_wk> sorry which of those files do i need the sqlite3-pcre_0~git20070120091816+4229ecc-0ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz one ?
[23:26] <oojah> mase_wk: Yep, then look at debian/rules
[23:26] <mase_wk> n/m not it
[23:26] <mase_wk> got it rather
[23:27] <mase_wk> kewl, thanks
[23:27] <oojah> It's just an example so might not apply to what you need to do exactly.
[23:35] <mase_wk> oojah: awesome that worked really well. so now my source format is correct.
[23:35] <mase_wk> does anyone have any idea how i can stop debbuild from trying to use my build.xml
[23:49] <EagleScreen> hello
[23:53] <mase_wk> hi EagleScreen
[23:55] <EagleScreen> can someone tell me what is wrong with this zenity code? <-- http://paste.debian.net/103446/
[23:55] <EagleScreen> when the URL is clicked, nothing happens
[23:55] <EagleScreen> and terminal outputs this: http://paste.debian.net/103447/
