tumbleweedfabrice_sp: yay, I was just about to ask you about doing another vtk transition :)12:25
fabrice_spHey tumbleweed! :-)16:47
fabrice_spI was going to check which packages are still using vtk 5.4, but if you already have the list, that's great!16:48
tumbleweedit's only a handful. Laney: care to set up a tracker? libvtk5.4 -> 5.617:04
Laneycould you propose a merge? :-)17:05
* tumbleweed supposes he could17:05
* Laney is trying to encourage people to learn the syntax17:06
tumbleweedthe syntax is pretty straight forward17:06
Laneyactually ou don't even need to propose a merge17:06
Laneyyes, quite17:06
tumbleweedLaney: +junk branches arne't really amenable to merging...17:08
Laney'propose' in an informal sense, then17:12
Laneybut no need: just do it directly17:12
Laneywe ought to get a better branch really17:12
tumbleweedI think with the new permission model I'd have to join the team first17:12
tumbleweedowners != members17:12
Laneythe intention was that the RT be able to manipulate it17:15
Laneyso that's fine17:15
* Laney is too busy playing with olduse.net to be useful :-)17:16
tumbleweedLaney: a readme file with a list of build-deps would be handy :)17:24
* tumbleweed supposes he can write it now17:25
Laneyfrom my history I can see I had at least ocaml-nox libocamlgraph-ocaml-dev libpcre-ocaml-dev libocsigen-ocaml-dev menhir17:26

paissadhello guys, i would like to use an environment variable during the run of the start-stop-daemon command !17:27
paissadstart-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --oknodo \17:27
paissad        --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS17:27
paissadthe env var is XXX17:27
paissadi did read the manpage of start-stop-daemon, but unless i did not read carefully, i don't see anything related to env vars17:28
paissadi'm not really sure that doing "export $XXX" before the use of 'start-stop-daemon' is a good idea17:28
paissadhow should i proceed ?17:29
Laneyyou can do VARIABLE=value start-stop-daemon ...17:39
tumbleweedLaney, fabrice_sp: that was relatively painless: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/vtk.html18:04
Laneytumbleweed: yay, nice one18:04
fabrice_sptumbleweed, nice one, yes!18:05
fabrice_spbinariy packages are still in NEW, so better wait before uploading packages for that transition :-)18:06
tumbleweedof course, need them to get through NEW (and armel building) first18:06
fabrice_sparmel is at 37% after 7 hours...18:07
* Laney clogs up the buildds some more ;)18:29
micahgLaney: I think you're fine, they're pretty empty ATM18:30
Laneyyep, I have the whole of i386 now :)18:30

paissadi have a problem about a makefile, i don't know how to set a variable into the IF statement19:15
paissadhere is the related target from my MakeFile http://pastebin.com/JQ7Scdw719:15
paissadat line 7, i expected an echo of "HEAD" ... but i have nothing onto the terminal19:16
paissadand you can see at line 6 that i did SVN_REVISION="HEAD";19:16
paissadwhat am i doing wrong ? ... how must i set that variable ?19:17
paissadhere is the output http://pastebin.com/NjN3T9WN19:20
geserpaissad: I'm not fully sure but my guess would be that you set a shell variable in line 6 but access a Makefile one in line 719:55
paissadgeser, finally, i did something like this19:56
paissadifeq ($(USE_STABLE), true)19:56
paissad    DOWNLOAD_SITE := http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/svn/tags/$(TAG_VERSION)19:56
paissad    SVN_REVISION := HEAD19:56
paissadendif19:56
paissadoutside of any kind of target19:56
paissadand i also removed the check-if-use-stable target which no more needed19:57
geserhere you set a Makefile variable19:57
paissadindeed19:57
geseryour line 6 from that paste is part of a subshell execution ('echo "$$SVN_REVISION"' might work in line 7, not sure if () are needed or not)19:59

m4n1shI am having issues building a package. The packaging code has been provided by gilir and the error is here20:08
m4n1shhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/619350/20:08
m4n1shthe code is present here20:08
m4n1shI think there is some screwed up rules file20:09
m4n1shanyone can help?20:09
geserm4n1sh: is mozilla-devscripts in Build-Depends?20:18
m4n1shgeser: it is there20:19
m4n1shbut I am using debuild20:19
m4n1shso I need to isntall mozilla-devscripts right20:19
m4n1shI missed that part20:19
m4n1shthanks'20:19
geserdo you have it also installed?20:19
geseryes, you need it installed for calling the clean target (but you might don't need to have all build dependencies installed to build the source package)20:20
m4n1shdidnt have it installed20:20
m4n1shbut debhelper might need the xul-ext addon20:20
m4n1shright?20:20
micahgm4n1sh: mozilla-devscripts provides dh_xul-ext20:21
m4n1shgeser: did that. Works :)20:21
m4n1shmicahg: yes. works20:21
m4n1shI was not able to make out from which package that addon comes from20:21
micahgm4n1sh: apt-file search dh_xul-ext should've helped20:22
m4n1shmicahg: thanks for the tip20:22
geserm4n1sh: or you search on packages.ubuntu.com for files named "xul_ext.pm" (see your failure message)20:23
m4n1shhmm20:24
m4n1shnever ever tried doing searches for files on p.u.c20:24
m4n1shonly tried package name search20:24
geser"Search the contents of packages" on that page20:24
m4n1shhmm. Thanks20:24
m4n1shlearnt a lot :)20:24
