| MTecknology | I need some help with some packaging... (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nginx/nginx/debian/files) An old version of nginx installed files for nginx-{full,light,extras} to /etc/logrotate.d/nginx-{full,light,extras}. The file was removed and put into nginx-common which installs /etc/logrotate.d/nginx. That part works perfect. The issue is upgrade from a broken version. | 00:40 |
|---|---|---|
| MTecknology | No matter what I try, I can't make the old file get properly removed. | 00:41 |
| MTecknology | nginx-common.{preinst,postinst,prerm} are using dpkg-maintscript-helper to deal with that but they don't seem to be doing anything. I don't see any errors, warnings, or anything during the upgrade either. Just looks like it worked great and then doesn't end up removing the old conf | 00:43 |
| MTecknology | I've been fighting this for over a month now and I'm just utterly lost. | 00:43 |
| Ampelbein | MTecknology: can you pastebin your debian/rules? | 00:49 |
| Ampelbein | MTecknology: and pre/post-inst/rm | 00:49 |
| MTecknology | Ampelbein: ya, you could just checkout that link too; it has those files | 00:49 |
| MTecknology | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nginx/nginx/debian/files | 00:50 |
| Ampelbein | true, I could do that. was feeling lazy ;-) | 00:50 |
| Ampelbein | but will do ;-) | 00:50 |
| MTecknology | :P | 00:51 |
| Ampelbein | MTecknology: maybe I need more coffee, but you don't have a preinst? | 00:56 |
| MTecknology | Ampelbein: no; do I need to add that file for this to work? | 00:57 |
| Ampelbein | MTecknology: yes, you do. in the pre-inst, dpkg-maintscript-helper determines what to do with the file and renames it to either *.dpkg-remove or *.dpkg-backup and in the postinst deletes or keeps this renamed file | 00:58 |
| MTecknology | oh...... | 00:58 |
| MTecknology | that'd make a crap done of sense then.. | 00:59 |
| MTecknology | Ampelbein: I'll try that and see how things work :D | 01:00 |
| Ampelbein | MTecknology: it does ;-) you need the snippet in the preinst, the postinst and postrm | 01:00 |
| MTecknology | hm.. might need to wait a little bit to redo this package | 01:01 |
| MTecknology | Ampelbein: so this is all I need in there? http://dpaste.com/456611/ | 01:05 |
| Ampelbein | MTecknology: that looks about right | 01:06 |

| lesliev | hi people! another question: when trying to follow daniel holbach's deb building tutorial, "debuild -S -sa" is not making a .diff file | 02:08 |
| lesliev | it is making a new .debian.tar.gz source file | 02:08 |
| lesliev | why doesn't it make a .diff.gz? | 02:08 |
| lesliev | this is the file it seems to be creating instead: ed_1.5-0ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz | 02:09 |
| micahg | lesliev: because it's using source format 3.0 | 02:10 |
| lesliev | ok, so this is an improvement in debuild? | 02:10 |
| micahg | lesliev: here's where you can read more about it and its benefits: http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0 | 02:11 |
| lesliev | ok, will look at that | 02:12 |
| lesliev | debuild also seems to be angry about the line I put in changelog | 02:12 |
| lesliev | * Initial release. | 02:12 |
| lesliev | * Repacked .tar.lz to .tar.gz, no other changes | 02:12 |
| lesliev | That second line it complains about | 02:12 |
| lesliev | parsechangelog/debian: warning: ed-1.5/debian/changelog(l4): unrecognised line | 02:12 |
| lesliev | LINE: * Repacked .tar.lz to .tar.gz, no other changes | 02:12 |
| lesliev | is there a problem with it? | 02:13 |
| micahg | lesliev: maybe it's your spacing | 02:13 |
| paultag | lesliev: looks like you did a tab? | 02:13 |
| micahg | MTecknology: seems like the postinst failed on nginx-common | 02:13 |
| paultag | that or irssi is barfing again | 02:13 |
| paultag | I have a package I'll be requesting a sync for soonish. Since we're in FFe, what must I do for the sync? If it helps, it closes a RC bug (in Debian, but same issue is in Ubuntu) | 02:14 |
| lesliev | oooooh, tab | 02:14 |
| paultag | lesliev: two spaces, jabroni | 02:14 |
| paultag | :) | 02:14 |
| micahg | paultag: is it bug fix only? | 02:14 |
| paultag | micahg: no, new upstream version with bugfixes, plus a dfsg repack, one theme is non DFSG | 02:15 |
| paultag | I missed that for the last few releases. Upstream is willing to relicense that, but in the meantime :) | 02:15 |
| MTecknology | micahg: does the postinst i pasted (http://dpaste.com/456611/) look obviously wrong? | 02:15 |
| micahg | paultag: if the new upstream isn't bug fix only, pass -e to requestsync to request an FFe | 02:15 |
| lesliev | :) | 02:16 |
| paultag | micahg: it's a fluxbox release -- it's been less then two days since the major number release last -- it's both upstream and debian bugfixes, I don't think there are new features. What would you do? | 02:16 |
| micahg | MTecknology: I'm not familiar with that type of scripts so I can't help you there | 02:16 |
| paultag | Oh jeez, two weeks | 02:16 |
| paultag | sorry, my fault | 02:17 |
| MTecknology | micahg: alrighty; thanks :) I couldn't even figure out which file it was yelling at me for | 02:17 |
| micahg | paultag: bug fix only, wherever they are, doesn't need an exception, only new features | 02:17 |
| paultag | micahg: cheers, thanks | 02:17 |
| MTecknology | micahg: the package I'm doing now is bug fixes to packaging only; no exception needed, just bug report? and a new app I write would need to pass through an exception (and probably wouldn't make it) ? <-- that how it works right now? | 02:18 |
| micahg | MTecknology: lines 57 and 58 of your original paste | 02:18 |
| MTecknology | oh.. | 02:19 |
| micahg | MTecknology: right | 02:19 |

| c2tarun | Can anyone give me a patch with DEP-3 tags. I want to look at one of those as an example. | 03:49 |
| paultag | c2tarun: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/ | 03:51 |
| paultag | c2tarun: there's a sample patch down a ways | 03:51 |
| c2tarun | this question may be silly, but why we refer FTBFS fixes as binutils-gold? | 03:55 |
| paultag | c2tarun: well binutils-gold issues are FTBFS issues, but not all FTBFS issues are binutils-gold issues | 03:56 |
| paultag | c2tarun: aptitude show binutils-gold, it's a change in the linker | 03:56 |
| paultag | c2tarun: and as a result, the linker behaves in a different way -- so some libraries which used to be linked are no longer linked | 03:56 |
| paultag | and as a result, it fails to build (from source) | 03:56 |
| c2tarun | paultag: got it :) thanks | 03:57 |
| paultag | c2tarun: cheers :) | 03:57 |
| c2tarun | can we use LIBS variable in rules file? | 03:59 |
| RAOF | c2tarun: No; you're not running in the same make context. | 04:01 |
| c2tarun | how to fix errors like [LD_ERROR] libkio.so.4: could not read symbols: Invalid operation | 04:09 |
| RAOF | c2tarun: http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking | 04:21 |
| RAOF | c2tarun: Essentially - fix the build order. | 04:22 |
| c2tarun | there is a package named kbarcode, when I am trying to install build-dependencies I am getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/573311/ | 04:28 |
| c2tarun | when I am pinging to IP 91.189.88.45 I am getting response. | 04:29 |
| RAOF | I'd just try again; that's a network problem. | 04:30 |
| c2tarun | RAOF: I think that package is removed from that page. | 04:34 |
| c2tarun | RAOF: What should I do? | 04:34 |
| RAOF | Refresh your package lists if that error persists. | 04:34 |
| RAOF | Aaah. | 04:34 |
| RAOF | Sorry, I misread the error the first time. | 04:34 |
| RAOF | That error is frequently caused by your apt cache being out of date - so apt tries to download 4:4.6.0-0ubuntu2 when 4:4.6.0-0ubuntu3 (or whatever) has been released and hence 4:4.6.0-0ubuntu2 has been removed from the mirror. | 04:35 |
| RAOF | So, a simple “sudo apt-get update” should resolve things. | 04:35 |
| c2tarun | RAOF: so updating the chroot will do it? | 04:35 |
| RAOF | Right. | 04:36 |
| c2tarun | RAOF: thanks :) | 04:36 |
| lesliev | is there any list of packages that need packaging? searching for needs-packaging in launchpad doesn't seem to help much | 04:51 |
| lesliev | for example, it lists "symon", which looks like it last had activity in 2006 | 04:52 |
| arand | lesliev: You might want to have a peek at harvest? | 04:52 |
| lesliev | which makes me think its not really even needed by anyone | 04:52 |
| lesliev | aha | 04:52 |
| arand | lesliev: It doesn't seems to be very exhaustive... hmm, http://harvest.ubuntu.com, looking at it, it doesn't have a good needs-packaging fileter it seems | 04:55 |
| arand | lesliev: I guess you could always check out debians lists, which should be somewhat representative I guess... | 04:56 |
| arand | lesliev: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/requested | 04:56 |
| lesliev | so is most packaging done for debian and just pulled into ubuntu? | 04:57 |
| arand | Well that's the ideal case I guess, if possible. | 04:59 |
| lesliev | symon's changelog shows activity last year, so it may be worth trying to package. I am putting together a packaging presentation, so I want some test cases | 05:00 |
| lesliev | oh, checking that url... | 05:00 |
| arand | In particular now, when feature freeze is in action, it would likely be a good idea to get a new app into debian in order for it to get in natty+1. | 05:03 |
| lesliev | wow, a lot of requests are >1 year old | 05:04 |
| lesliev | does harvest rank requests based on how many people ask for the same thing? | 05:07 |
| arand | It may rank by bug heat or so, and uses plent of lp tags, I think.. | 05:09 |

| Rhonda | Hmm, I guess I need a FFE for gitolite. Or actually not, it's just a oneline security-related fix? | 08:13 |
| Rhonda | I guess I should also prepare updates for maverick | 08:13 |
| Rhonda | Ouch! natty still has 1.5.4, for the update to 1.5.7 I _definitely_ would need a FFE, I'm taking the question back. :) | 08:14 |
| Rhonda | Now I wonder: Should I rather go for FFE for 1.5.7-2, or rather try to prepare an 1.5.4-2ubuntu1 with the security fix only, for natty? | 08:14 |
| Bachstelze | c2tarun: have you tried ld's suggestion of adding /usr/lib/libkio.so.4 to the command line? | 08:22 |
| siretart | Rhonda: at this point, your chances for a FFe seem high :-) | 08:39 |
| Rhonda | siretart: So you'd suggest 1.5.7-2 to natty with FFe and 1.5.4-1ubuntu1 to maverick-updates for a SRU? | 08:51 |
| siretart | Rhonda: I didn't look into that case at all. I just pointed out that FFe used to be approved more lightly right after FF than right before release | 08:56 |

| joaopinto | hum, doesn't the MOTU definition overlaps with "Ubuntu Contributing Developers" ? | 16:29 |
| Laney | !motu | 16:32 |
| ubottu | motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | 16:32 |
| Laney | !ucd | 16:32 |
| Laney | I don't know why it says 'collectively responsible' — that's not my understanding (https://launchpad.net/~universe-contributors) | 16:32 |
| joaopinto | from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers#ContribDev, UCDs are collectively responsible for the maintenance of most of the packages in Ubuntu = universe ? | 16:33 |
| joaopinto | unless we read as MOTUs being a subset of UCDs, meaning you can be an UCD maintaining packages without being a MOTU | 16:34 |
| Laney | UCD means you have met the requirements for membership, and you contributions are from development | 16:35 |
| Rhonda | ari-tczew, very much thanks for your input, actually I did that, but thanks anyway. | 16:39 |
| Rhonda | joaopinto: UCDs need sponsorship for uploads, MOTUs don't. | 16:41 |
| joaopinto | ah ok, tks | 16:41 |
| ari-tczew | UCD = Ubuntu Member + Bug control | 16:43 |
| Laney | I don't think it gives bug control. | 16:45 |
| udienz | UCD = Ubuntu Member + Revu uploader + Planet Ubuntu | 16:46 |

| fta | siretart, ping | 16:54 |
| * siretart throws a contentless pong back | 16:56 | |
| fta | siretart, i was wondering about debian bug 595452, it's been a while and the bug is still there in natty. could we land that at least as a distro patch, if not directly upstream | 16:56 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 595452 in mplayer "1.0rc3 native mkv demuxer fails to decode some files" [Important,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/595452 | 16:56 |
| siretart | fta: what would be the patch? | 16:56 |
| siretart | AFAIR. the lavf demuxer is already enabled by default in rc4 | 16:57 |
| fta | siretart, referring to the "there is a patch pending for it in the MPlayer dev list" comment in the bts | 16:57 |
| siretart | that referred to the native mkv demuxer | 16:58 |
| siretart | from a distro POV, you want to improve libavformat, not the mplayer internal mkv demuxer | 16:58 |
| fta | i still have mkv files that are unplayable in mplayer but fine in totem (yet too slow) | 16:58 |
| siretart | do they play with ffplay? | 16:58 |
| fta | super slowly but yes. mplayer is able to play the video smoothly (vdpau) but doesn't recognize the sound track | 17:00 |
| siretart | that indicates a deficiency in libavformat. get that fixed :-) | 17:01 |
| fta | well, no, as -demuxer lavf is fine | 17:03 |
| siretart | no, you just told me that ffplay was broken | 17:03 |
| fta | no, it's slow (no vdpau) | 17:04 |
| siretart | aaah, so whats the problem then? | 17:04 |
| fta | no audio with mplayer default demuxer | 17:04 |
| fta | siretart, http://paste.ubuntu.com/573540/ | 17:06 |
| siretart | that paste indicates the (broken) internal mkv demuxer. so? | 17:07 |
| fta | isn't what the debian bug is about? | 17:07 |
| fta | well, n-m, -demuxer lavf will do. | 17:08 |
| siretart | rc4 (which we have in natty) uses the libavformat demuxer by default, or not? | 17:08 |
| siretart | oh, it says that rc4 used the internal mkv muxer? that would be a bug then, indeed | 17:08 |

| pulb | hi guys, I created this package -> http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/basenji. ari-tczew mentioned it is possibly too late to get it into natty and suggested to get it into debian. any opinions? | 20:22 |
| Quintasan | pulb: Yup, too late for Natty as Feature Freez is in effect | 20:22 |
| Quintasan | I think you can get it in Debian and then request a sync in natty+1 | 20:23 |
| pulb | hmmpf, I spend a lot time to get comfortable with this revu stuff. is debian uploading any different? | 20:23 |
| Quintasan | pulb: dput mentors <changes> | 20:24 |
| pulb | I don't have the time to install debian for testing, is it just a matter of dependency renaming? | 20:24 |
| Quintasan | pulb: be sure to change the package to meet Debian requirements (like version in changelog etc) | 20:24 |
| Quintasan | pulb: I do not think there should be any dependency renames | 20:25 |
| Quintasan | pulb: Be sure to check you package using sid pbuilder | 20:25 |
| pulb | if i dput it to mentos, where do i get feetback? | 20:26 |
| pulb | err mentors | 20:26 |
| Quintasan | pulb: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/welcome | 20:26 |
| Quintasan | pulb: You will need to find a sponsor for your package, your best shot is #debian-mentors @ irc.oftc.net | 20:27 |
| pulb | ok, thanks! | 20:27 |
| micahg | ari-tczew: your advise on kklimonda's application is wrong, UNRELEASED should be used when proposing merges in a VCS unless you are the uploader | 20:28 |
| micahg | err, scratch that last part, proposed merges should target UNRELEASED in case changes need to be made | 20:28 |
| ari-tczew | micahg: yea, in VCS, not in lp:ubuntu/foo | 20:29 |
| micahg | ari-tczew: UDD is a VCS | 20:30 |
| ari-tczew | o_O | 20:30 |
| micahg | if something in a UDD branch is not in the archive, the target should be UNRELEASED | 20:30 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| ari-tczew | micahg: I like sponsoring bzr merges by sponsor-patch but if branch is UNRELEASED there is a problem because it won't upload it into archive | 20:34 |
| micahg | ari-tczew: then the tool should be fixed | 20:35 |
| ari-tczew | bdrung: ^^ | 20:35 |
| bdrung | ari-tczew, micahg: that's how sponsor-patch works. it will ask if you want to set the series. then you can set it to whatever you want (natty, maverick-proposed, ...) | 20:36 |
| ari-tczew | bdrung: by script? don't I need to open directory in /tmp and do it manually? | 20:36 |
| bdrung | ari-tczew: if you say "yes", it will give you a shell in the correct directory | 20:37 |
| bdrung | ari-tczew: do you have an example bug? | 20:37 |
| ari-tczew | bdrung: no at this moment | 20:38 |
| ari-tczew | bdrung: ehh, can't script do it automatically? | 20:38 |
| ari-tczew | e.g. "there is UNRELEASED target, would you like to update it?" | 20:38 |
| ari-tczew | and options to choice | 20:38 |
| bdrung | ari-tczew: do we always know where it should be uploaded? | 20:38 |
| ari-tczew | 1. natty | 20:38 |
| ari-tczew | 2. maverick-rpoposed | 20:38 |
| ari-tczew | bdrung: if you take it as sponsor, you should know where do you want upload it | 20:39 |
| bdrung | yes, but does the script can know it? | 20:39 |
| ari-tczew | bdrung: as I wrote 2 minutes ago, choice | 20:39 |
| micahg | ari-tczew: that's a maintenance burden for the script to always keep those updated | 20:41 |
| bdrung | micahg: no, we have distro-info! | 20:42 |
| micahg | bdrung: ah, you actually did it? | 20:42 |
| bdrung | yes | 20:42 |
| cody-somerville | couldn't it just ask and let the user input the suite name? That would be better than dropping to a shell and having to do it manually + would make the tool work in non-ubuntu context. | 20:42 |
| bdrung | cody-somerville: it is very ubuntu specific currently | 20:43 |

| kklimonda | Ampelbein: you should branch ubuntu:transmission (or lp:ubuntu/transmission) | 21:06 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: I did that. And then made a local branch for my bugfix. But then I'm getting a bit stuck. Do I have to use quilt to make my patch? Do I just edit the source? But how does the patch come in then? This is all a bit confusing | 21:08 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: it is, isn't it? :) | 21:08 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: you use quilt, add patch and changelog entry and then push your branch. | 21:09 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: but then I end up with the changes 2 times in the bzr-diff - once in the original file and once in the patch. I know that it doesn't matter much but that doesn't sound right, if you know what I mean. | 21:10 |
| kklimonda | .pc folder doesn't exist in transmission branch so I assume you don't have to commit it. But this part is a bit fuzzy | 21:10 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: I just do quilt pop -a before commiting when .pc is not in vcs | 21:11 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: I branched with 'bzr branch ubuntu:transmission natty' | 21:11 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: which has the patches applied (and thus the .pc directory) | 21:12 |
| kklimonda | ah, then you should commit along with .pc | 21:12 |
| kklimonda | sorry, I've cloned the wrong branch - I don't use bzr for transmission myself | 21:13 |
| kklimonda | (but it's time to start doing it) | 21:13 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: it is easier with just apt-get source, quilt new, quilt add, quilt refresh, debuild -S, debdiff, attach. at least till I understand this bzr thing fully. | 21:14 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: but thanks, I will have another go. | 21:14 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: I think you should add both debian/patches/patch and .pc/patch | 21:15 |
| kklimonda | lets see if it works | 21:15 |
| kklimonda | nope.. hmm.. | 21:20 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: it looks like you should clone the branch, create patch with quilt, add changelog entry, unapply the newly created patch, commit changelog, d/patches/series and d/patches/patch and that's it.. | 21:22 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: is there a website somewhere documenting that? | 21:23 |
| kklimonda | but other patches are applied and .pc directory is commited.. ugh.. | 21:23 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: there is an entire wiki page about it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment but I don't know how up to date it is. I just tinker with it until it works :) | 21:24 |
| MTecknology | http://dpaste.com/459264/ <-- Any chance you guys could help me figure out this? /etc/logrotate.d/nginx-full should get removed. Packaging.. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nginx/nginx/debian/files (only difference is the chmod that was breaking it and the use of set -x) | 21:25 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: there is also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation | 21:25 |
| MTecknology | Ampelbein: maybe you could take a look?.. :D | 21:25 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: some pages there seem like "we need to document this", but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/PatchSystem looks good | 21:26 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: hmm, interesting - I've heard of looms before but it was months ago and they were being mentioned in context "it would be nice to have looms to do it" ;) | 21:27 |
| Ampelbein | MTecknology: maybe later, I'm currently trying to figure out using bzr ;-) | 21:28 |
| MTecknology | Ampelbein: alrighty; if you help me get this actually working I might need to go find you and hug you | 21:29 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~amoog/transmission/bug-726756/revision/63 this is the result of my current try without the looms stuff | 21:31 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: it will create a debian-changes file when you try building a source package out of it | 21:32 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: yes, that's fine I guess? transmission is source format 3.0 already. | 21:34 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: and the debdiff looks fine, too http://paste.ubuntu.com/573667/ | 21:36 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: indeed, looks fine | 21:36 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: I will propose a merge request and see what seb has to say ;-) | 21:38 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: I can upload transmission, so I'll see if it works and upload ;) | 21:39 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: oh, even better. thanks ;-) | 21:39 |
| kklimonda | no problem | 21:40 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: it doesn't work for me, any idea how to debug it? | 22:07 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: you could try 'strace -o magnet.txt xdg-open "magnet-url"' to see what gets called? | 22:09 |
| Ampelbein | MTecknology: where is your package failing now? the packaging looks good (apart from the 2 things you mentioned) | 22:18 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: hmm | 22:18 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: does it work for you with Exec=transmission-gtk %F ? | 22:18 |
| kklimonda | I've had to change it to Exec=transmission-gtk %U | 22:19 |
| kklimonda | and, by reading fd.o specification, I've come to conclusion that %F is wrong code for Exec in transmission's case.. | 22:19 |
| kklimonda | but it's been there for as long as I can remember, and it worked just fine. | 22:19 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: actually it doesn't work for me with %F. I manually edited the .desktop in /usr/share/applications and must have forgot about that change. silly me. | 22:22 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: I edited back to original state now and transmuussion just starts, but no add-file dialog | 22:22 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: with %U it works | 22:22 |
| kklimonda | it looks like fd.o tools got more strict in natty | 22:23 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: I will update the upstream bug once it gets through moderation queue. | 22:24 |
| kklimonda | upstream bug? you have a number? | 22:24 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: not yet, it is still in moderation queue | 22:26 |
| kklimonda | moderation queue on transmission trac? huh.. I'll poke developer to get it through :) | 22:26 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: yes, I needed to register myself there and when i made new ticket, it said it was in queue for moderation. | 22:27 |

| acarpine | I need help | 22:28 |
| acarpine | I worked on the bug 719379 | 22:29 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 719379 in python-fstab (Ubuntu) "Typos in Exception and docstring" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/719379 | 22:29 |
| RAOF | acarpine: Ah! That was you? | 22:29 |
| acarpine | wow raof you are here! | 22:29 |
| acarpine | tks 4 your reply | 22:29 |
| acarpine | but this is my first bug fix | 22:30 |
| acarpine | just a couple of questions... | 22:30 |
| RAOF | Shoot! | 22:30 |
| acarpine | I believe my error is that I used bzr push lp:~acarpine/ubuntu/natty/python-fstab/fix-719379 | 22:32 |
| acarpine | instead of bzr push lp:~juliank/python-fstab/debian | 22:32 |
| acarpine | correct? | 22:32 |
| acarpine | I'm talking about your first email advice | 22:33 |
| RAOF | acarpine: No. You pushed to the right place, but when you made the merge request you asked for it to be merged into the wrong tree. | 22:33 |
| RAOF | You wouldn't have been able to push to lp:~juliank/python-fstab/debian, but you should be able to request a merge of your existing branch into it. | 22:34 |
| acarpine | ok, clear now (I hope :-) | 22:34 |
| RAOF | Feel free to ask more questions if I've been unclear anywhere else - I'll be here for the next 8 hours or so :) | 22:35 |
| acarpine | the last advice said smthing about | 22:35 |
| acarpine | You could drop the debian/changelog hunk and propose a merge into lp:python-fstab, which is where the upstream code lives. | 22:35 |
| RAOF | (and then tomorrow, and the next day, and … ☺) | 22:35 |
| acarpine | :) tks | 22:35 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: I'll upload it after the soft freeze is over | 22:36 |
| acarpine | I believe my problem is caused by my bad English... | 22:36 |
| acarpine | raof: what do you mean with drop the debian/changelog hunk ? | 22:36 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: It'll give me some time to get a response from T dev about this issue, as I'd like to get his input on it - the %F did come from somewhere :) | 22:37 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: sure, no problem. thanks again for the help with bzr, I think I understood that a bit better now. | 22:37 |
| RAOF | acarpine: No, it's probably the specialised language that I'm using. :) | 22:37 |
| RAOF | acarpine: So, a “hunk” is the name for one piece of the patch; your patch has 3 hunks - one for the changelog, and one each for the 2 message typos. | 22:38 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: probably from the time when transmission didn't know magnet? as for torrent files I think %f is ok. | 22:39 |
| kklimonda | Ampelbein: no, %F has broken opening torrents directly from Firefox | 22:40 |
| kklimonda | both worked fine in maverick, and broke in natty | 22:40 |
| Ampelbein | kklimonda: oh, I used to save torrent files and open from download folder so I didn't run into that problem. | 22:41 |
| RAOF | acarpine: And as for what I was saying there: In Ubuntu, we generally take the code that various different projects write - banshee, gnome-do, firefox, python-fstab, …, ensure that it integrates with the rest of Ubuntu, and add the bits of metadata that become a Debian package. | 22:42 |
| RAOF | acarpine: Other distros do the same thing. So to make your fix as useful as possible, it would be good to submit it to the python-fstab project - that way it'll be fixed in Ubuntu, and Debian, and Fedora, and… | 22:42 |
| RAOF | acarpine: And to do that, you'd want to make the same changes, but submit a merge to lp:python-fstab :) | 22:43 |
| acarpine | raof: but why I should "drop my changelog hunk" I mean...when I submit a merge directly to lp:python-stab I don't need to edit the changelog? | 22:45 |
| acarpine | ...I'm feeling like a babe at his first lesson... | 22:46 |
| RAOF | acarpine: Ah! Because lp:python-fstab won't *have* debian/changelog. Because debian/changelog is a part of the metadata that goes into a Debian package, not a part of the upstream project. | 22:46 |
| acarpine | raof: wow incredible...my question have some logic so :D | 22:48 |
| RAOF | acarpine: Yeah, there's a whole specialised language to distro development. It can be difficult to understand if you're unfamiliar wih it :) | 22:49 |
| acarpine | raof: Ok, perfect so I can change my previous branch or I have to delete it to fix.... | 22:50 |
| RAOF | acarpine: To merge into lp:python-fstab you'll need to redo your branch, this time starting by “bzr branch lp:python-fstab” and then making your changes. | 22:52 |
| RAOF | acarpine: To re-target your existing branch at lp:~juliank/python-fstab/debian you won't need to do anything to your branch. | 22:52 |
| acarpine | raof: ok I try, really tks raof | 22:56 |
| RAOF | No problem! Thanks for your work! | 22:56 |
