LaneyI should have predicted this :( :( :(10:51
* Laney mashes the keyboard in irritation10:51
jpdsFor a second there, I read tradition.10:51
Laneywhen you maintain GHC it does become rather traditional, indeed10:52
geserLaney: do ghc transitions ever end?11:02
Laneythis one was about to11:02
Laneyand then I uploaded GHC again last night11:02
geserI have the impression that at least one package on any arch has always a wrong dependency and needs a rebuild11:02
Laneyimagine yourself travelling around a circle :-011:02

DktrKranzwasn't "rebuild package" button in progress?11:05
Laneynot that i've heard11:05

micahgbroder: regarding seamonkey, we'll need to push 2.1 when it's released to the stable releases, so idk if an SRU is worthwhile17:59
micahg2.1 uses the newer hunspell18:00
broderoh, really? yeah, in that case it doesn't seem like it makes much sense to keep working18:00
micahgyeah, the 3.5 branch which seamonkey 2.0 is based on will be EOL on June 21, so there will be no more releases for it18:01
* micahg probably should've commented on that bug18:02
micahgbdrung: I never got an answer about syncing eclipse from experimental, I did a test build on amd64 on oneiric and it was fine, I would do one more with i386 before requesting the sync since i386 failed before with gcc-4.618:56
anderskWhat went wrong there?  Shouldn’t it be possible to change ghc’s debian/control without breaking all the ABI hashes?19:04
KNROHi. I'm stuck with updating a package. I've already uploaded the .orig.tar.gz (2.3) version to ppa, and I later discovered there was a missing dependency, so I edited debian/control, but I can't reupload the .diff.gz file because the same version of the diff file (2.3) was uploaded and launchpad won't accept same version but different content.20:18
KNROand if I pump the number in debian/changelog, I can't seem to get an updated .diff.gz (to 2.3ppa1 for example), I have to rename the orig file 2.3ppa1 as well which is wrong20:19
KNROso how do I fix that, what am I doing wrong?20:19
jtaylorupload without the orig source20:20
broderKNRO: it sounds like you've done a handful of things wrong20:20
micahgKNRO: you should use a debian revision (i.e. 2.3-0ppa120:21
jtaylordebuild -sa20:21
broderKNRO: first, if this isn't a "Debian/Ubuntu-native package" - i.e. the software meaningfully exists outside of Debian/Ubuntu, you should add a Debian revision number, like micahg said20:21
KNROit's not native to Debian/Ubuntu20:22
broderbut also, while you're experimenting in PPAs, you should add something to the version number - something like ~ppa1 - that leaves you room to change the version number in your PPA20:22
broderKNRO: right, so the version of the Debian package shouldn't be "2.3", it should be "2.3-0ubuntu1"20:22
broderthen you add on the PPA tag (so "2.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1")20:22
KNROokay, and the .orig filename is then what?20:23
KNRO2.3.orig.tar.gz ? or 2.3-0ubuntu1.tar.gz ??20:23
jtaylorthe furst20:30
jtaylors/u/i/20:30
KNROso if the orig file was foo_2.3.orig.tar.gz and my debian version is 2.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1, I can't run debuild -sd or -sa or any combination without renaming the .orig file!!!20:32
KNROBut the .orig file name should remain the same!!20:32
micahgKNRO: what does debian/source/format say if anything?20:32
KNROI see ... dpkg-source: warning: no source format specified in debian/source/format, see dpkg-source(1)20:33
KNROguess that's my problem...20:33
micahgKNRO: that's the debian version set in debian/changelog?20:34
KNROin debian/changelog I have 2.3-0ubuntu1~ppa120:34
Laneyif it can't find the orig then you'll get a native package20:35
KNROthere is no source/format under debian20:35
Laneydon't worry about that20:35
KNROhow do I tell it to look for foo_2.3.orig.tar.gz then?20:35
KNROand take the diff from that?20:35
Laneyshow us the complete output from 'debuild -S' please :-)20:36
KNROok20:37
KNROhere http://pastebin.com/cE3xGsyj20:38
Laneyls ../libapogee2_2.3.orig.tar.gz20:40
broderKNRO: dpkg-source is using the version number 2.3ubuntu1~ppa1, not 2.3-0ubuntu1~ppa120:40
broderthe hyphen is critical20:40
KNROLaney: yes it exists... ?20:41
Laneyyeah, you need to fix that version :-)20:41
KNROohhhhh20:42
KNRO2.3 then hypthen20:42
KNROokay let me try20:42
KNROit worked!! Thanks guys, this was driving me insane20:46

KNROanother question, if I have a package already built in maverick, and I want to build it for natty ppa, is it possible to build without updating the changelog file?21:04
Laneyno21:07
Laneyyou can't have different binaries from the same revision21:07
KNROeven for different distributions?21:08
Sarvattyou can binary copy it from maverick to natty in the PPA without changing the versions but thats usually a bad idea and can't rebuild it that way21:08
Laneyactually it's often not a bad idea21:09
Laneythat's what happens for new ubuntu series after all21:09
KNROI'll just update the changelog file and do it the easy way21:10
Laneytry copying the binaries and see if it works21:11
