[01:07] <tgm4883> If a MOTU has a minute, can someone review http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/mythbuntu-bare ? It just needs a second ack and I'd like to get this into 11.10
[09:16] <c_korn> how can I add a parameter to dh_installchangelogs with cdbs? I thought DEB_DH_INSTALLCHANGELOGS whould do the trick
[09:19] <jtaylor> DEB_DH_INSTALLCHANGELOGS_ARGS?
[09:19] <c_korn> ah, DEB_INSTALL_CHANGELOGS_ALL
[09:20] <c_korn> it is mentioned in the doc here: http://build-common.alioth.debian.org/cdbs-doc.html
[09:20] <c_korn> don't ask me where this underscore comes from. this is cdbs voodoo
[09:27] <directhex> i don't think it's fair to equate cdbs with a legitimate religion like voodoo
[09:27] <directhex> i see it as having more in common with your cthulu-worshipping cults
[09:41] <akheron> c_korn: I used to grep the cdbs source to find suitable magic variables
[09:41] <c_korn> hehe, yeah, this is a good idea ;)
[11:25] <francesco_superc> Hi everybody!
[11:26] <francesco_superc> Anyone could help me searching one program in repository?
[11:26] <francesco_superc> I'm looking for "multisync-tools"
[11:26] <francesco_superc> It isn't anymore available?
[11:33] <jtaylor> francesco_superc: it was removed because it requres opensync << 0.30: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multisync0.90/+bug/654613
[11:39] <francesco_superc> jtaylor, thanks. So the deprecated multisync-tool from what does it replace?
[11:48] <jtaylor> I don't know of any replacement
[11:50] <francesco_superc> jtaylor, thanks a lot the same
[12:26] <dupondje> francesco_superc:
[12:26] <dupondje> opensync replaced multisync
[12:26] <dupondje> We were working on the successor to Multisync called OpenSync.
[13:08] <tonymc> hello
[13:08] <tonymc> i have a question regarding proper package versioning
[13:08] <tonymc> i know it's a question that belongs to #ubuntu-packaging, but there's no one alive there
[13:09] <tonymc> anyway, 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?
[13:13] <jtaylor> 0.5.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1 is usually used
[13:14] <jtaylor> an 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~ppa1
[13:14] <jtaylor> so the official archive versions replace the non-archive versions
[13:16] <jtaylor> if you want the ppa version to replace an archive version use +ppa1
[13:17] <tonymc> what if there's no official version?
[13:17] <tonymc> do i have to still specify 0ubuntu1~ppa1?
[13:18] <jtaylor> you should, as there might be an official version in the future
[13:18] <jtaylor> 0.5.1-0~ppa1 should also work
[13:19] <jtaylor> dpkg --compare-versions "0.5.1-0ubuntu1" gt "0.5.1-0~ppa1" && echo "yes"
[13:20] <tonymc> thanks for clarification
[13:27] <lfaraone> persia: hi, I'll be your AM for this evening^h^h^h^hNM process, how can I be of service? :P
[14:05] <tonymc> if 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?
[14:07] <jtaylor> yes
[14:08] <jtaylor> it should indicate which packaging revision of a specific upstream version it is
[14:08] <tonymc> aha
[14:09] <tonymc> does debian think that 0.5.1a is newer than 0.5.1? or i should just drop the "a" and make a ppa2 instead?
[14:11] <jtaylor> use dpkg --compare-versions to figure that out
[14:11] <jtaylor> it should be larger
[14:13] <tonymc> thanks
[14:13] <tonymc> you've been really helpful
[14:31] <tonymc> another question if you don't mind
[14:31] <tonymc> the 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?
[14:34] <jtaylor> I never packaged something with plugins yet
[14:34] <jtaylor> but I think they are usually placed under /usr/lib/package-name/
[14:34] <jtaylor> if they are arch-dependend
[14:35] <tumbleweed> and /usr/share/package-name if they aren't. The program might need to be changed to find them in the new location...
[14:36] <tonymc> thanks
[20:06] <tgm4883> If a MOTU has a minute, can someone review http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/mythbuntu-bare ? It just needs a second ack and I'd like to get this into 11.10
[20:07] <stlsaint> would someone mind helping me debugg some of these piuparts results http://paste.debian.net/125307/
[20:09] <stlsaint> ...
[21:04] <jtaylor> friggin dpatch why won't it take my patch -.-
[21:05] <nigelb> heh
[21:06]  * iulian throws quilt at jtaylor.
[21:07] <jtaylor> I'd wish I could use quilt
[21:11] <jtaylor> hurray manually editing patches is fun, but it worked
[21:14] <jtaylor> debfx: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xawtv/3.95.dfsg.1-8.1ubuntu2 was this forwarded anywhere?
[21:14] <jtaylor> patch 103
[21:15] <jtaylor> hm ok 102 says "there is no actual xawtv upstream any more" so probably no forwarding
[21:22] <debfx> jtaylor: I've forwarded it to Debian, not sure about upstream
[21:23] <debfx> jtaylor: http://git.linuxtv.org/xawtv3.git/shortlog seems active
[21:24] <jtaylor> it was unfortunatly not quite complete, see bug 821916
[21:24] <jtaylor> but simple to fix
[21:25] <jtaylor> uplaoding a branch shortly, can you sponsor it?
[21:31] <debfx> jtaylor: sure
[21:35] <jtaylor> debfx: https://code.launchpad.net/~jtaylor/ubuntu/oneiric/xawtv/fix-821916/+merge/70657
[21:35] <jtaylor> an SRU should be probably be made
[21:45] <debfx> jtaylor: do you want me to open a natty task on the bug?
[21:46] <jtaylor> yes please
[21:46] <debfx> the package FTBFS on oneiric: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660093/
[21:48] <jtaylor> Oo
[21:48] <jtaylor> I built it in a pbuilder
[21:53] <jtaylor> maybe its not quite clean
[21:54] <debfx> I've built the same package again, now it works fine
[21:54] <debfx> not sure what caused it to try call autoconf
[21:55] <jtaylor> building in a fresh clean i386 chroot, and it came past that point
[21:55] <jtaylor> finished successfully
[22:01] <debfx> presumably it was just a local issues with my pbuilder
[22:24] <jtaylor> forwared 103 and 102 to the upstream you mentioned
