[06:53] <Maaz> linuxboy: http 400 is Bad Request (RFC 2616)
[08:40] <superfly> anyone in here a bit more familiar with deb packaging than me?
[08:41] <superfly> hey morgs
[08:41] <morgs> hey superfly!
[08:41] <superfly> how goes?
[08:42] <morgs> good!
[08:42] <morgs> Nice to be back :)
[08:44] <morgs> hi sdehaan 
[08:44] <morgs> Maaz is a local ibid instance
[08:45] <morgs> Maaz, hi
[08:45] <Maaz> Sup morgs
[08:45] <morgs> Maaz, ubuntu
[08:45] <Maaz> morgs: Excuse me?
[08:45] <morgs> Maaz, ubuntu is what we are here for
[08:45] <Maaz> morgs: If you say so
[08:45] <morgs> Maaz, ubuntu
[08:45] <Maaz> morgs: ubuntu is what we are here for
[08:46] <morgs> Maaz, seen Vhata
[08:46] <Maaz> morgs: Vhata was last seen 1 day, 22 hours, 20 minutes and 15 seconds ago in #ubuntu-za on freenode [2011-03-16 12:26:05 SAST], and has been online on freenode since 2011-03-11 10:34:46 SAST
[08:46] <morgs> Maaz, tell Vhata ibid++
[08:46] <Maaz> morgs: Righto, I'll tell Vhata on freenode
[08:46] <sdehaan> nice.
[08:47] <superfly> hey morgs, how familiar are you with Ubuntu packaging?
[08:48] <morgs> superfly, I've done some mods to packages but haven't packaged from scratch except as a bit of cargo culting
[08:48] <morgs> h<tab><tab>
[08:48] <morgs> Maaz, seen highvoltage?
[08:48] <Maaz> morgs: highvoltage was last seen 2 months, 2 days, 18 hours, 9 minutes and 25 seconds ago in #ubuntu-za on freenode [2011-01-14 16:39:32 SAST], and has been offline on freenode since 2011-01-15 06:30:52 SAST
[08:49] <superfly> ok... I'm just trying to figure out why my build is failing
[08:49] <morgs> superfly, on Launchpad?
[08:49] <superfly> ja
[08:49] <morgs> log?
[08:49] <superfly> I'll pastebin the exerpt
[08:50] <superfly> http://pastebin.com/R7ADkG9E
[08:50] <superfly> lemme get the Makefile for you too
[08:51] <superfly> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openlp-core/openlp/trunk/view/head:/resources/debian/Makefile
[08:51] <morgs> superfly, mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/share/openlp': Permission denied
[08:51] <morgs> The build shouldn't be trying to make absolute paths
[08:51] <superfly> morgs: yes, but why
[08:52] <superfly> it isn't... that's from the "install" part of my Makefile
[08:52] <morgs> hmm
[08:52] <superfly> it looks like it's running the install when it runs the build, which is incorrect
[08:52]  * morgs looks for an example he knows
[08:52] <superfly> but, that coule be due to an incorrect Makefile
[08:53] <superfly> cocooncrash helped me with this stuff, but he's in San Francisco at the moment, and probably fast asleep right now ;-)
[08:54] <linuxboy> with a little bit of drool hanging out his mouth
[08:56] <morgs> superfly, where is your debian/ folder? Can I see it?
[08:56] <morgs> is it in your bzr repo?
[08:56] <superfly> yep
[08:56] <superfly> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openlp-core/openlp/trunk/files/head:/resources/debian/debian/?file_id=debian-20110309065215-180lwk9z13pjmsr0-1
[09:04] <cocooncrash> superfly: With ? what?
[09:05] <superfly> cocooncrash: with the process of creating the deb package
[09:05] <superfly> for OpenLP
[09:05] <cocooncrash> superfly: Looks like you're missing a DESTDIR in the makefile
[09:05] <cocooncrash> i.e. mkdir /usr/share/openlp instead of mkdir $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/openlp
[09:06] <superfly> cocooncrash: no, my Makefile has it... http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openlp-core/openlp/trunk/view/head:/resources/debian/Makefile
[09:07] <cocooncrash> Hrm, then it's not getting set (or set incorrectly)
[09:07] <superfly> maybe I'm forgetting to add an argument in my rules file?
[09:08] <cocooncrash> superfly: If you call make manually in the rules file then you need to specify DESTDIR yourself
[09:08] <superfly> cocooncrash: do I need to pass something through to "install" ? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openlp-core/openlp/trunk/view/head:/resources/debian/debian/rules
[09:08] <superfly> no, I don't call make manually
[09:09] <tumbleweed> if you are using python distutils, how is the makefile getting called?
[09:09] <cocooncrash> Hrm, you're using CDBS, so it should take care of that
[09:09] <cocooncrash> tumbleweed: CDBS makefile.mk module
[09:09] <tumbleweed> oh, can one use two buildsystems at the same time in CDBS?
[09:09] <tumbleweed> normally one either uses distutils or a makefile
[09:09] <cocooncrash> Um, I assume so, but it might not be the case
[09:10] <superfly> tumbleweed: yes, it was working with both, but I wasn't using the install target
[09:10]  * nlsthzn waves
[09:10] <cocooncrash> Maaz: time in san fracisco
[09:10] <Maaz> cocooncrash: It is 2011-03-18 04:10:40 COT
[09:10]  * cocooncrash goes to bed
[09:10] <tumbleweed> ok, but it does look like it isn't passing DESTDIR into make install
[09:10] <superfly> hi nlsthzn
[09:10] <tumbleweed> (from the log snippet)
[09:10] <superfly> tumbleweed: yes, so I'm figuring...
[09:11] <nlsthzn> superfly: :) Morning
[09:11] <cocooncrash> Maaz: time in san francisco
[09:11] <Maaz> cocooncrash: It is 2011-03-18 02:11:20 PDT
[09:11] <tumbleweed> superfly: sorry I'm not much help with cdbs, I have to read the source code whenever I want to fix things like this
[09:11]  * superfly goes to dig up the docs he was reading on CDBS
[09:12] <superfly> tumbleweed: np, at least I've gotten a little further than I was earlier
[09:13] <tumbleweed> superfly: DEB_MAKE_INSTALL_TARGET = install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/openlp
[09:13] <tumbleweed> or something like that
[09:13] <superfly> tumbleweed: ah, OK, thanks
[09:14] <tumbleweed> aah, there is a $(DEB_DESTDIR) you can pass
[09:14] <tumbleweed> DESTDIR=$(DEB_DESTDIR)
[09:15] <superfly> thanks tumbleweed, I'll try that
[09:17] <Vhata> morgs: hi
[09:17] <Maaz> Vhata: By the way, morgs on freenode told me "tell Vhata ibid++" 30 minutes and 38 seconds ago
[09:18] <tumbleweed> Maaz: morgs++
[09:18] <tumbleweed> [[ good taste :P ]]
[09:18] <nlsthzn> lol
[09:21] <tumbleweed> superfly: if it's stable enough, get the thing into debian already
[09:21] <superfly> tumbleweed: I'm hoping to start that process after our release at the end of this month :-)
[09:22] <tumbleweed> cool. I suggest filing the ITP bug a week or two before you start work, sometimes they generate a fair amount of comment (but mostly no responses at all)
[09:25] <superfly> tumbleweed: thanks, I'll do that
[09:45] <superfly> meh. DEB_DESTDIR didn't work
[09:45] <tumbleweed> documentation can lie :)
[09:46] <superfly> yeah
