| benonsoftware | Hi all | 01:57 |
|---|---|---|
| benonsoftware | tumbleweed: Say if I'm not that good at making patches could I find a bug that has a patch and package that? | 02:06 |
| jmarsden | benonsoftware: Sure. Many such bugs will already be tagged with the 'patch' tag to make them easier to find. | 02:08 |
| jmarsden | benonsoftware: When you have a working package, attach your debdiff to the bug report concerned. | 02:09 |
| benonsoftware | jmarsden: Thanks, it's just that I'm not that good at programming yet :) | 02:14 |
| benonsoftware | is there going to be a Packaging Class any time soon? | 05:26 |
| jmarsden | benonsoftware: If you mean something in #ubuntu-classroom, see http://people.ubuntu.com/~nhandler/classroom.html (which means no). Read the Packaging Guide and learn from that, no need to wait for a class. | 05:33 |
| benonsoftware | Can someone please send me a memo pointing to http://people.ubuntu.com/~nhandler/classroom.html | 05:35 |
| jmarsden | benonsoftware: If you need one, why not send yourself one :) Seems a very odd request... ? | 05:36 |
| benonsoftware | jmarsden: I thought I couldn't send one to myself | 05:37 |
| jmarsden | Since you already know the URL, and are online, what use is sending you a memo with it in? | 05:37 |
| jmarsden | (I just sent you one by the way) | 05:38 |
| benonsoftware | jmarsden: I want to go to a class in Sep. I'll forget about it. I don't like sending emails to myself :) | 05:38 |
| lifeless | put it in your calendar | 05:39 |
| benonsoftware | lifeless: A what? :) | 05:39 |
| lifeless | A tool for remembering to do things | 05:39 |
| benonsoftware | lifeless: What things? :) | 05:40 |
| * benonsoftware likes acting dumb :) | 05:40 | |
| lifeless | benonsoftware: not a particularly good strategy for gaining respect or getting assistance. | 05:40 |
| lifeless | heh | 05:41 |
| chilicuil | hi there, does anyone know which package contains 'addional drivers' program? | 05:55 |
| benonsoftware | chilicuil: Like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ? | 05:56 |
| chilicuil | benonsoftware: yep, but the program itself not the driver | 05:57 |
| micahg | is 3 days too much build skew to give back 3 out of 4 arches or should I do a no change rebuild? | 06:36 |
| micahg | nm, it's haskell, so giving back | 06:48 |
| benonsoftware | What would be a good debaian package to adopt? http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ | 08:49 |
| Laney | something you use | 08:50 |
| benonsoftware | Laney: I don't use many of them. I don't know which one to choose :) | 08:50 |
| benonsoftware | Laney: So which one should I choose? | 08:53 |
| Laney | benonsoftware: nobody can tell you that. Only that it's best to maintain software you use. | 09:04 |
| Laney | understanding the language it's programmed in would be good too, but not required. | 09:04 |
| jtaylor | use wnpp-alert to list orphaned packages which you have installed | 10:25 |
| soc | hi | 11:58 |
| soc | does someone know if there is a channel for questions about canonnical's offerings, like Landscape? | 11:58 |
| paultag | #nonfree-crap ? | 13:01 |
| paultag | soc: I honestly have no idea. I'd email someone :) | 13:01 |
| paultag | soc: there's no community around those tools, so it might be canonical employees, so you might have the best luck during normal hours during the week | 13:02 |

| philipballew | what do i need installed on my comp to download from svn? | 23:16 |
| RAOF | philipballew: svm | 23:21 |
| RAOF | GAH! svn :) | 23:21 |
| philipballew | haha. and when i download it all i do is cd into is and build? | 23:21 |
| RAOF | That depends on the source. | 23:24 |
| RAOF | Whatever project you're grabbing will probably have some build instructions, though. | 23:24 |
| philipballew | true. i see it says i need to make,make strip, make install. I would think check install would be better. and i have to ./configure before make to correct? | 23:26 |
| RAOF | That depends. | 23:29 |
| RAOF | Projects can have arbitrarily crazy build systems. | 23:29 |
| RAOF | It's more likely that you'll need to run autogen.sh, though. | 23:30 |
| philipballew | whats the best way to figure this stuff out? | 23:31 |
| philipballew | documentation? | 23:31 |
| RAOF | Yes. | 23:33 |
| RAOF | Many projects will use autotools, which will have an INSTALL file saying “we use autotools, do this…”. There are many other posibilities, though, and they're all different. | 23:33 |
| philipballew | i read the ubuntu compile documentation. might need to read more to | 23:33 |
| philipballew | haha, makes sence to me somewhat. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/655934/ this is what the file has | 23:36 |
| philipballew | it looks to be easy | 23:36 |
