| AnAnt | Hello, if I run "objcopy --only-keep-debug" on a dynamically built binary, does this cause the resulting binary to be statically linked (uses shared libs) ? | 08:39 |

| AnAnt | nevermind, found out the answer (it's no) | 09:04 |
| benonsoftware | Hi all. | 10:50 |
| benonsoftware | Question: Do I need to know a programming launge to become a MOTU? | 10:51 |
| Laney | Depends what you do | 10:54 |
| Laney | at the very least you'll need to know make | 10:54 |
| benonsoftware | Laney: What do you mean. "What you do"? | 10:55 |
| Laney | MOTU work encompasses many tasks | 10:55 |
| Laney | not all of them involve 'programming languages' | 10:56 |
| benonsoftware | What do you mean many taks? | 10:56 |
| Laney | ... | 10:56 |
| Laney | here's a link for you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted | 10:57 |
| Jadoo1989 | I have been considering getting involved with MOTU, but I´ḿ going to wait for developer week. | 10:59 |
| benonsoftware | Laney: I've read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted but what are the other task MOTUs have to do un-programming related? | 11:00 |
| benonsoftware | I've read about MOTU Mentor wiki but what exaclty does it do? | 11:15 |
| tumbleweed | benonsoftware: generally, one needs some shell scripting for MOTU tasks. Knowing a few common programming languagues is helpful, but knowing the common build systems is far more helpful | 11:38 |
| benonsoftware | tumbleweed: I am good at shell scripting and am just started learning Python. | 11:39 |
| tumbleweed | the mentoring programme is a bit dead, but yes there's developer week, and generally there are people around here who will help with problems | 11:41 |
| benonsoftware | tumbleweed: What do you mean the mentor programme is dead? :( | 11:43 |
| benonsoftware | I was just writing my email for it now. | 11:43 |
| tumbleweed | benonsoftware: I don't see any mail on the list between january and june. But at least there were helpful replies to people in june: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu-mentors/ | 11:48 |
| benonsoftware | tumbleweed: I sent my appilcation to motu-mentoring-reception@reponses.net like it says on the page. Do I send it to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu-mentors/ to? | 11:49 |
| tumbleweed | benonsoftware: As far as I knew, the programme was pretty dead, so I don't think any applications are necessary at all | 11:51 |
| benonsoftware | tumbleweed: Oh, I've just sent mine. Where do I get a mentor/help now? | 11:52 |
| Jadoo1989 | Have you had a look at the guide? The youtube videos are pretty good as well. | 11:52 |
| benonsoftware | This guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete ? Doesn't make sense. | 11:53 |
| tumbleweed | benonsoftware: you can get help here and possibly on the ubuntu-motu-mentors list | 11:53 |
| benonsoftware | Ok | 11:53 |
| benonsoftware | So I've read the getting Started page. Where do I go from there? | 11:53 |
| tumbleweed | yes, that guide | 11:53 |
| benonsoftware | So do I read that next? | 11:54 |
| benonsoftware | What should I do after I have read the guide tumbleweed ? | 12:02 |
| benonsoftware | tumbleweed: What happens when we have finsihed reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing ? | 12:19 |
| mgarrido | Hi all, I have a newbie question | 16:35 |
| mgarrido | I've made a branch with bzr branch lp:ubuntu/<packagename>. Can it be compiled using pbuilder? | 16:35 |
| jtaylor | mgarrido: use the --builder flag of bzr-buildpackage | 16:41 |
| jtaylor | or create a dsc in your prefered way and use that directly | 16:41 |
| mgarrido | thanks jtaylor, I'll try it | 16:43 |
| jtaylor | is there a good way to call autoreconf from cdbs? | 17:11 |
| jmarsden | jtaylor: I'm not sure... scrap cdbs, use dh --with autoreconf $@ instead ? :) | 17:13 |
| jtaylor | thats probably best | 17:14 |
| jtaylor | btw its dh $@ --with autoreconf | 17:16 |
| jmarsden | jtaylor: OK, I think I have seen it both ways around... | 17:18 |
| jtaylor | its a common mistake | 17:18 |
| jtaylor | will be an error in compat 8 | 17:19 |
| jmarsden | jtaylor: Sounds like something lintian should flag, in that case. | 17:19 |
| jtaylor | monkey-bubble ftbs fixed, branch needs sponsoring | 18:30 |
| tumbleweed | jtaylor: I'll look at it, thanks | 18:31 |
| jtaylor | its a pretty large change, dh-7 and quilt to be able to patch 2 lines in a makefile ^^ | 18:32 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, I was going to complain about that. Then I noticed it was ubuntu-only :) | 18:32 |
| tumbleweed | urgh@the patches | 18:33 |
| tumbleweed | upstream seems pretty dead too | 18:33 |
| tumbleweed | anyway, LGTM | 18:35 |
