c_kornhow can I add a parameter to dh_installchangelogs with cdbs? I thought DEB_DH_INSTALLCHANGELOGS whould do the trick09:16
jtaylorDEB_DH_INSTALLCHANGELOGS_ARGS?09:19
c_kornah, DEB_INSTALL_CHANGELOGS_ALL09:19
c_kornit is mentioned in the doc here: http://build-common.alioth.debian.org/cdbs-doc.html09:20
c_korndon't ask me where this underscore comes from. this is cdbs voodoo09:20
directhexi don't think it's fair to equate cdbs with a legitimate religion like voodoo09:27
directhexi see it as having more in common with your cthulu-worshipping cults09:27
akheronc_korn: I used to grep the cdbs source to find suitable magic variables09:41
c_kornhehe, yeah, this is a good idea ;)09:41
francesco_supercHi everybody!11:25
francesco_supercAnyone could help me searching one program in repository?11:26
francesco_supercI'm looking for "multisync-tools"11:26
francesco_supercIt isn't anymore available?11:26
jtaylorfrancesco_superc: it was removed because it requres opensync << 0.30: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multisync0.90/+bug/65461311:33
ubottuUbuntu bug 654613 in multisync0.90 (Ubuntu) "remove packages needing opensync (<< 0.30) in maverick" [Undecided,Fix released]11:33
francesco_supercjtaylor, thanks. So the deprecated multisync-tool from what does it replace?11:39
jtaylorI don't know of any replacement11:48
francesco_supercjtaylor, thanks a lot the same11:50

tonymchello13:08
tonymci have a question regarding proper package versioning13:08
tonymci know it's a question that belongs to #ubuntu-packaging, but there's no one alive there13:08
tonymcanyway, i'm making a PPA, with a brand new program. how do i go about assigning a version? the upstream version is 0.5.1, and it's the first ppa release. should i name is 0.5.1-ppa1 or something else?13:09
jtaylor0.5.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1 is usually used13:13
jtayloran official debian version would be 0.5.1-1 so an official ubuntu pacakge should be lower than that -> 0.5.1-0ubuntu1, an ppa package should be lower than that -> 0.5.1-0ubuntu1~ppa113:14
jtaylorso the official archive versions replace the non-archive versions13:14
jtaylorif you want the ppa version to replace an archive version use +ppa113:16
tonymcwhat if there's no official version?13:17
tonymcdo i have to still specify 0ubuntu1~ppa1?13:17
jtayloryou should, as there might be an official version in the future13:18
jtaylor0.5.1-0~ppa1 should also work13:18
jtaylordpkg --compare-versions "0.5.1-0ubuntu1" gt "0.5.1-0~ppa1" && echo "yes"13:19
tonymcthanks for clarification13:20
lfaraonepersia: hi, I'll be your AM for this evening^h^h^h^hNM process, how can I be of service? :P13:27
tonymcif i update the package with an upstream version (say, 0.5.2), should i drop the ppa revision back to 1? like 0.5.2-0ubuntu1-ppa1?14:05
jtayloryes14:07
jtaylorit should indicate which packaging revision of a specific upstream version it is14:08
tonymcaha14:08
tonymcdoes debian think that 0.5.1a is newer than 0.5.1? or i should just drop the "a" and make a ppa2 instead?14:09
jtayloruse dpkg --compare-versions to figure that out14:11
jtaylorit should be larger14:11
tonymcthanks14:13
tonymcyou've been really helpful14:13

tonymcanother question if you don't mind14:31
tonymcthe upstream developer chose to put plugins for his program into /usr/share/, and thus lintian complains about that. what is the proper place to put plugins so that a program could find them?14:31
jtaylorI never packaged something with plugins yet14:34
jtaylorbut I think they are usually placed under /usr/lib/package-name/14:34
jtaylorif they are arch-dependend14:34
tumbleweedand /usr/share/package-name if they aren't. The program might need to be changed to find them in the new location...14:35
tonymcthanks14:36

jtaylorI'd wish I could use quilt21:07
jtaylorhurray manually editing patches is fun, but it worked21:11
jtaylordebfx: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xawtv/3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu2 was this forwarded anywhere?21:14
jtaylorpatch 10321:14
jtaylorhm ok 102 says "there is no actual xawtv upstream any more" so probably no forwarding21:15
debfxjtaylor: I've forwarded it to Debian, not sure about upstream21:22
debfxjtaylor: http://git.linuxtv.org/xawtv3.git/shortlog seems active21:23

jtaylorI built it in a pbuilder21:48
jtaylormaybe its not quite clean21:53
debfxI've built the same package again, now it works fine21:54
debfxnot sure what caused it to try call autoconf21:54
jtaylorbuilding in a fresh clean i386 chroot, and it came past that point21:55
jtaylorfinished successfully21:55
debfxpresumably it was just a local issues with my pbuilder22:01
