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