[05:41] lo fellow geeks [05:57] morning nuvimob [06:22] 196.213.108.186 - - [18/Mar/2011:08:21:25 +0200] "-" 400 0 "-" "-" <=== wtf is someone doing on a webserver to create a log line like that [06:22] (thousands of them) [06:24] morning nuvimob [06:24] morning #ubuntu-za [06:53] Maaz: http 400 [06:53] linuxboy: http 400 is Bad Request (RFC 2616) [08:40] anyone in here a bit more familiar with deb packaging than me? [08:41] hey morgs [08:41] hey superfly! [08:41] how goes? [08:42] good! [08:42] Nice to be back :) [08:44] hi sdehaan [08:44] Maaz is a local ibid instance [08:45] Maaz, hi [08:45] Sup morgs [08:45] Maaz, ubuntu [08:45] morgs: Excuse me? [08:45] Maaz, ubuntu is what we are here for [08:45] morgs: If you say so [08:45] Maaz, ubuntu [08:45] morgs: ubuntu is what we are here for [08:46] Maaz, seen Vhata [08:46] 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] Maaz, tell Vhata ibid++ [08:46] morgs: Righto, I'll tell Vhata on freenode [08:46] nice. [08:47] hey morgs, how familiar are you with Ubuntu packaging? [08:48] superfly, I've done some mods to packages but haven't packaged from scratch except as a bit of cargo culting [08:48] h [08:48] Maaz, seen highvoltage? [08:48] 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] ok... I'm just trying to figure out why my build is failing [08:49] superfly, on Launchpad? [08:49] ja [08:49] log? [08:49] I'll pastebin the exerpt [08:50] http://pastebin.com/R7ADkG9E [08:50] lemme get the Makefile for you too [08:51] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openlp-core/openlp/trunk/view/head:/resources/debian/Makefile [08:51] superfly, mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/share/openlp': Permission denied [08:51] The build shouldn't be trying to make absolute paths [08:51] morgs: yes, but why [08:52] it isn't... that's from the "install" part of my Makefile [08:52] hmm [08:52] 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] but, that coule be due to an incorrect Makefile [08:53] cocooncrash helped me with this stuff, but he's in San Francisco at the moment, and probably fast asleep right now ;-) [08:54] with a little bit of drool hanging out his mouth [08:56] superfly, where is your debian/ folder? Can I see it? [08:56] is it in your bzr repo? [08:56] yep [08:56] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openlp-core/openlp/trunk/files/head:/resources/debian/debian/?file_id=debian-20110309065215-180lwk9z13pjmsr0-1 [09:04] superfly: With ? what? [09:05] cocooncrash: with the process of creating the deb package [09:05] for OpenLP [09:05] superfly: Looks like you're missing a DESTDIR in the makefile [09:05] i.e. mkdir /usr/share/openlp instead of mkdir $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/openlp [09:06] cocooncrash: no, my Makefile has it... http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openlp-core/openlp/trunk/view/head:/resources/debian/Makefile [09:07] Hrm, then it's not getting set (or set incorrectly) [09:07] maybe I'm forgetting to add an argument in my rules file? [09:08] superfly: If you call make manually in the rules file then you need to specify DESTDIR yourself [09:08] cocooncrash: do I need to pass something through to "install" ? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openlp-core/openlp/trunk/view/head:/resources/debian/debian/rules [09:08] no, I don't call make manually [09:09] if you are using python distutils, how is the makefile getting called? [09:09] Hrm, you're using CDBS, so it should take care of that [09:09] tumbleweed: CDBS makefile.mk module [09:09] oh, can one use two buildsystems at the same time in CDBS? [09:09] normally one either uses distutils or a makefile [09:09] Um, I assume so, but it might not be the case [09:10] tumbleweed: yes, it was working with both, but I wasn't using the install target [09:10] * nlsthzn waves [09:10] Maaz: time in san fracisco [09:10] cocooncrash: It is 2011-03-18 04:10:40 COT [09:10] * cocooncrash goes to bed [09:10] ok, but it does look like it isn't passing DESTDIR into make install [09:10] hi nlsthzn [09:10] (from the log snippet) [09:10] tumbleweed: yes, so I'm figuring... [09:11] superfly: :) Morning [09:11] Maaz: time in san francisco [09:11] cocooncrash: It is 2011-03-18 02:11:20 PDT [09:11] superfly: sorry I'm not much help with cdbs, I have to read the source code whenever I want to fix things like this [09:11] * superfly goes to dig up the docs he was reading on CDBS [09:12] tumbleweed: np, at least I've gotten a little further than I was earlier [09:13] superfly: DEB_MAKE_INSTALL_TARGET = install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/openlp [09:13] or something like that [09:13] tumbleweed: ah, OK, thanks [09:14] aah, there is a $(DEB_DESTDIR) you can pass [09:14] DESTDIR=$(DEB_DESTDIR) [09:15] thanks tumbleweed, I'll try that [09:17] morgs: hi [09:17] Vhata: By the way, morgs on freenode told me "tell Vhata ibid++" 30 minutes and 38 seconds ago [09:18] Maaz: morgs++ [09:18] [[ good taste :P ]] [09:18] lol [09:21] superfly: if it's stable enough, get the thing into debian already [09:21] tumbleweed: I'm hoping to start that process after our release at the end of this month :-) [09:22] 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] tumbleweed: thanks, I'll do that [09:45] meh. DEB_DESTDIR didn't work [09:45] documentation can lie :) [09:46] yeah [11:38] http://www.kathack.com/ === sdehaan is now known as smn|away === smn|away is now known as sdehaan
