docdrumHi!  I'm using a BSD-licensed library in my own project.  Is it allowed to use launchpad to host a fork of the lib and the .deb packages if I'm not the 'owner' of the library?12:57
diwicdocdrum, since the library is BSD licensed the owner has granted you that right, as well as many other rights.13:33

=== gary_poster changed the topic of #launchpad to: https://launchpad.net/ | Help contact: gary_poster | Launchpad is an open source project: https://dev.launchpad.net/ | This channel is logged: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
docdrumdiwic: OK, thanks!  I was unsure b/c the launchpad-docs only talks about 'your project'.13:40
docdrumI'm (quite, ianal2) sure about the licensing terms, just wondering if launchpad allowed this usage13:42

gustonegrohi, I'm getting an regject email when I try to upload a source22:31
gustonegrothe email points to here: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/UploadErrors22:31
gustonegrothe reason is because:  File <UPLOADED_FILE> already exists in <LOCATION>22:32
gustonegrohowever....I deleted that package already.  I don't have any packages in my PPA22:32
gustonegroare they not really deleted?22:33
=== matsubara is now known as matsubara-afk
maxbgustonegro: You can never replace a file in a PPA with one with different contents, even after deleting it22:58
gustonegromaxb: why is that?22:59
lifelessbecause its part of a federated database23:02
lifelessevery user of the ppa makes the assumption that per-package files never change contents23:02
gustonegrohmm...so what can I do?23:03
gustonegrothere are no users of the ppa yet.  I just want to delete the old one and make a new one.23:03
lifelessthe old what?23:03
gustonegrothe old package23:04
gustonegrohere it says I have no published packages: https://launchpad.net/~august-alien/+archive/ppa23:06
lifelessyou need to use a new version number for the upstream23:06
lifelesse.g. add +test1 to it23:07
gustonegroadd +test1 to the package name?23:07
gustonegrocan I do that with dput ?23:07
gustonegrocould someone explain what this all means or point me to some docs on the matter?23:18
lifelessdebian/control defines your version23:19
lifelessevery upload must be unique.23:19
lifeless-> you must change it every time23:19
lifelessthe upstream part defines the tarball that is looked for23:19
lifelessto change that you change the upstream part and the tarball name.23:19
gustonegrowhat is an upstream?  I've read all the docs and see it all the time, but never is it defined.23:20
gustonegrosorry for the naive question.....maybe there is a better forum for that.23:21
gustonegroso if I make a mistake in a upload, I always have to go back and rebuild the package....even if it was just a packaging mistaeke?23:22
lifelessyes23:23
lifelessafter you dput you can never reuse the version number23:23
gustonegrowow23:23
gustonegroso , I have to set a version number by changing the package name?23:24
lifelesswhat you normally do is leave the tarball unchanged23:25
lifelessand change the packaging only resulting in a new *diff* reusing the same tarball23:25
lifelessbut because you are trying to upload a changed tarball, thats why the problem is happening23:25
lifelessso in this special case (because you are learning)23:25
lifelessyou need to change the tarball version [and package version] to be able to upload23:26
gustonegrofor that I just rename the tarball and change the "Source" section of the control file?23:26
maxbWhy would you change the package name? You want to change the package version23:28
gustonegromaxb: where is the package version set? I don't see it any where except in how I named the .orig.tar.gz tarball?23:29
lifelessmaxb: he doesn't have the old tarball anymore... contents conflict23:30
maxbSure... but that's still only cause to change the version, not the name23:34
lifelessright23:34
lifelessbut the 'name' of a tarball includes the version23:34
maxbgustonegro: the version is set from the top entry in debian/changelog23:34
lifelessmaxb: you're binding the terms differently23:34
maxbSo, yes, the file may need to be renamed, but nothing in debian/control needs to change23:35
lifelessright23:35
lifelessgustonegro: ^ whats your current tarball name23:35
lifelessgustonegro: and whats the first line in your debian/changelog23:35
