[01:39] Hi all. [01:39] hi benonsoftware [01:39] Hi [01:41] Question: What happens when we have finsihed reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing ? [01:41] [01:42] benonsoftware: start contribution? ;-) [01:42] Have any ideas on what? [01:42] benonsoftware: does anything appeal to you out of the lists of contributions? [01:44] Another Question: What does Preparing New Packages mean? [01:45] benonsoftware: creating Debian packaging for some piece of software from sctract [01:45] *scratch [01:45] How would I do that? [01:46] benonsoftware: the packaging guide describes how to do that, but I'd suggest starting with something easier [01:46] Do you have a idea? [01:46] benonsoftware: well, what's your background? [01:49] python [01:50] benonsoftware: you could fix open bugs in python packages [01:55] Ok. [01:55] Know any good packages to start of with micahg ? [01:56] benonsoftware: well, I always suggest stuff that you're running [01:58] What packages do you like that are in Python? [02:01] idk, I'm still learning python [02:02] Where are you learning it from micahg ? [02:02] nowhere in particular, was told to use the python documentation as a guide [02:03] OK [02:04] Python books are notoriously crappy. [02:04] I've heard [02:05] Even C++/C books are great as door stops [02:05] I like some C books. C Primer Plus was a great book [02:06] I had Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days. [02:06] 21 hours later... [02:06] Using it as a door stop. [02:06] Haha [02:06] theres a C++ version, called C++ Primer Plus, I believe [02:07] not sure if it is of the same quality as the C book. [02:07] I hate the in 21 days books. [02:07] I never used them. Sounds too much like a gimmick [02:08] benonsoftware: you could look at the build failures here and see if you can fix any of the ones in the python packages: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/ftbfs/oneiric.html [02:11] Do any of you know what GCC is built with? [02:11] Proberly C> :) [02:11] gcc is built with gcc :) [02:11] What? [02:13] So what is it built with? [02:17] gcc [02:17] gcc is written in C. [02:18] and c++ these days [02:19] eah [02:19] for some front ends [02:19] i believe [02:20] What's Eah? [02:21] my y key is dodgy [02:21] so it should say yeah [05:34] What version of Python should I use for MOTU [05:38] So what version should I use then? [06:47] HI all. [09:11] does anyone here do notify-osd programming? [09:16] What? [09:19] bones_: #ubuntu-desktop or #ayatana people are probably more likely to be familiar with it. [09:51] oops [09:51] accidentally left [09:51] :P [09:57] Just like me ;p === korn_ is now known as c_korn [18:36] is there a specific MOTU I should talk to regarding arranging a class session on Ubuntu Packaging? Specifically, I'd like to arrange for an MOTU to run a session somewhere about the REVU process for getting apps into a release's repos [18:55] EvilPhoenix: we recommend new packages go via Debian where possible. Debian's stronger maintainership may help packages from being neglected, and generally it brings the package to a wider audience === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:42] wow, gnash has 454 build-deps... [23:54] lucas: i'd like to link to the UDD schema - could you trigger a manual update so that the new tables show up? [23:55] btw you probably want to flip only-recent again
