=== luciano_ is now known as virusuy === luciano_ is now known as virusuy [05:08] micahg: hi [05:10] can someone please guide me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-June/245771.html [05:13] kaushal: that's a question for #ubuntu [05:14] ok [05:14] micahg: Any ideas ? [05:14] kaushal: I'll answer in #ubuntu [05:14] sure [12:25] fabrice_sp: yay, I was just about to ask you about doing another vtk transition :) [16:47] Hey tumbleweed! :-) [16:48] I was going to check which packages are still using vtk 5.4, but if you already have the list, that's great! [17:04] it's only a handful. Laney: care to set up a tracker? libvtk5.4 -> 5.6 [17:05] could you propose a merge? :-) [17:05] * tumbleweed supposes he could [17:06] * Laney is trying to encourage people to learn the syntax [17:06] the syntax is pretty straight forward [17:06] actually ou don't even need to propose a merge [17:06] yes, quite [17:08] Laney: +junk branches arne't really amenable to merging... [17:12] 'propose' in an informal sense, then [17:12] but no need: just do it directly [17:12] we ought to get a better branch really [17:12] I think with the new permission model I'd have to join the team first [17:12] owners != members [17:15] the intention was that the RT be able to manipulate it [17:15] so that's fine [17:16] * Laney is too busy playing with olduse.net to be useful :-) [17:24] Laney: a readme file with a list of build-deps would be handy :) [17:25] * tumbleweed supposes he can write it now [17:26] from my history I can see I had at least ocaml-nox libocamlgraph-ocaml-dev libpcre-ocaml-dev libocsigen-ocaml-dev menhir [17:26] s/had/installed/ [17:26] yup [17:27] hello guys, i would like to use an environment variable during the run of the start-stop-daemon command ! [17:27] start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --oknodo \ [17:27] --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS [17:27] the env var is XXX [17:28] i did read the manpage of start-stop-daemon, but unless i did not read carefully, i don't see anything related to env vars [17:28] i'm not really sure that doing "export $XXX" before the use of 'start-stop-daemon' is a good idea [17:29] how should i proceed ? [17:39] you can do VARIABLE=value start-stop-daemon ... [18:04] Laney, fabrice_sp: that was relatively painless: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/vtk.html [18:04] tumbleweed: yay, nice one [18:05] tumbleweed, nice one, yes! [18:06] binariy packages are still in NEW, so better wait before uploading packages for that transition :-) [18:06] of course, need them to get through NEW (and armel building) first [18:07] armel is at 37% after 7 hours... [18:29] * Laney clogs up the buildds some more ;) [18:30] Laney: I think you're fine, they're pretty empty ATM [18:30] yep, I have the whole of i386 now :) [18:31] +amd64 === apachelogger is now known as kernellogger [19:15] i have a problem about a makefile, i don't know how to set a variable into the IF statement [19:15] here is the related target from my MakeFile http://pastebin.com/JQ7Scdw7 [19:16] at line 7, i expected an echo of "HEAD" ... but i have nothing onto the terminal [19:16] and you can see at line 6 that i did SVN_REVISION="HEAD"; [19:17] what am i doing wrong ? ... how must i set that variable ? [19:20] here is the output http://pastebin.com/NjN3T9WN [19:55] paissad: I'm not fully sure but my guess would be that you set a shell variable in line 6 but access a Makefile one in line 7 [19:56] geser, finally, i did something like this [19:56] ifeq ($(USE_STABLE), true) [19:56] DOWNLOAD_SITE := http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/svn/tags/$(TAG_VERSION) [19:56] SVN_REVISION := HEAD [19:56] endif [19:56] outside of any kind of target [19:57] and i also removed the check-if-use-stable target which no more needed [19:57] here you set a Makefile variable [19:57] indeed [19:59] your 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] ok [20:08] I am having issues building a package. The packaging code has been provided by gilir and the error is here [20:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/619350/ [20:08] the code is present here [20:09] I think there is some screwed up rules file [20:09] anyone can help? [20:18] m4n1sh: is mozilla-devscripts in Build-Depends? [20:19] geser: it is there [20:19] but I am using debuild [20:19] so I need to isntall mozilla-devscripts right [20:19] I missed that part [20:19] thanks' [20:19] do you have it also installed? [20:20] yes, 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] didnt have it installed [20:20] but debhelper might need the xul-ext addon [20:20] right? [20:21] m4n1sh: mozilla-devscripts provides dh_xul-ext [20:21] geser: did that. Works :) [20:21] micahg: yes. works [20:21] I was not able to make out from which package that addon comes from [20:22] m4n1sh: apt-file search dh_xul-ext should've helped [20:22] micahg: thanks for the tip [20:23] m4n1sh: or you search on packages.ubuntu.com for files named "xul_ext.pm" (see your failure message) [20:24] hmm [20:24] never ever tried doing searches for files on p.u.c [20:24] only tried package name search [20:24] "Search the contents of packages" on that page [20:24] hmm. Thanks [20:24] learnt a lot :) === yofel_ is now known as yfel === yfel is now known as yofel
