[01:46] hi ! someone can tell me how can I propose a new feature for the next ubuntu release ? [01:50] oix29: Create a Blueprint for it, work to refine it and gain consensus around it, attend UDS and promote it... do the work to make it happen :) [01:56] ok good :) thnx jmarsden [01:57] oix29: You're welcome. === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away [07:01] good morning [07:57] Hi all === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach [10:27] hello there, a package of mine fails to install due to a failure in the postinst script -- how can I see what these errors are (so I can fix them)? [10:30] you can put a set -x into the script to see what it executes [10:30] on the shebang line? [10:31] after it [10:31] like "#!/bin/sh -x" ? [10:31] ah, "set -x" [10:31] ok [10:31] sorry [10:32] jtaylor: thanks for the advice .. will try that. [10:51] You can even run it manually. [10:51] Like, sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/$package.postinst [10:51] … and configure as argument. [10:51] * al-maisan tries that [10:53] hmm .. I see where it's failing now, thanks jtaylor and Rhonda ! [10:53] de nada :) === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away [11:23] * dholbach hugs tumbleweed [11:24] heh, np [11:44] dholbach: isn't beta freeze over? (concerning bug 842211) [11:44] Launchpad bug 842211 in f-spot (Ubuntu) "Sync f-spot 0.8.2-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/842211 [11:45] the sync just fixes a ftbs no new features [11:46] yes indeed it is over === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan [12:43] What makes Pillow/PIL's setup.py pickup /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 when using Ubuntu's python, but miss it when using a self-compiled python? [12:43] I have seen that Python's setup.py uses dpkg-architecture, but could not find something similar in distutils. [14:08] hmm .. what user is used to run a debian/postinst script? I thought it was root..? [14:09] it is [14:09] I have statements starting with "sudo -u postgres psql .." and when I install the package I am getting prompted with "[sudo] password for postgres:" [14:10] you want su [14:10] not sudo [14:10] aaaaah [14:10] ok [14:10] ogra_: thank you very much indeed! [14:10] :) [14:40] jtaylor, Laney: you're right [14:42] :-) === raju1 is now known as genupulas === macer1-zlyklon is now known as macer1 === dpm is now known as dpm_ [16:24] micahg: whoah, you only just beat me in the DMB election, well done :) [16:24] * tumbleweed was not expecting to do well [16:24] Oh, the results are out? [16:25] yet to be confirmed [16:26] right, sorry Laney :) [16:26] :P === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away === raju1 is now known as genupulas === sergio91pt_ is now known as sergio91pt === yofel_ is now known as yofel === bulldog98_ is now known as bulldog98 === warp11 is now known as warp10 [18:15] I'm wondering if bug 842985 needs an ffe, its technically a new feature, but a feature which worked in natty (= regression) [18:15] Launchpad bug 842985 in pacpl (Ubuntu) "Needs resync with Debian to re-enable LAME" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/842985 [18:16] brb [18:34] how can I tell dh_install (via the .install file) to install a directory with a space in it? [18:35] lib/mmc\ Libs usr/lib/mmediac <-- this does not work [18:38] c_korn: You can't. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=198507 [18:38] Debian bug 198507 in debhelper "dh_install: fails if filenames have an embedded space" [Normal,Open] [18:39] Well, there is a workaround in there. But personally I would just do such horrible things by hand in debian/rules. [18:40] hm, ok. thanks. === transitlogger is now known as apachelogger [18:44] hm, dh_makeshlibs and dh_shlibdeps also fails :/ [18:44] think I need to rename the directory at the end [19:07] hello [19:09] hello [19:10] my name is nathanel titane (Cypher2) and am currently experiencing difficulty pushing a fix to lp [19:11] anyone? [19:12] hello? [19:13] help? [19:14] I think you should give more detail including a pastebinned transcript of what you're trying to do and what the output is, and then somebody will probably look at it [19:14] (that works better than waiting for somebody to volunteer first) [19:23] does using dh-autoreconf to fix a build failure need a FFe? [20:02] Afternoon, I was looking for help triaging a backport request: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lucid-backports/+bug/638213 [20:02] Launchpad bug 638213 in lucid-backports "Please backport puppet 2.6.1-0ubuntu2 from maverick" [Undecided,In progress] [20:02] I'm told this is the place [20:09] pabelanger: looks, good, but I don't have time to comment ATM, please reset to confirmed per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#How_to_Help [20:10] pabelanger: we need confirmation that the no-change backport builds, installs and runs [20:10] aha, says that [20:11] pabelanger: thanks, approved [20:12] does using dh-autoreconf to fix a build failure need a FFe? [20:12] micahg: Laney: Great, thanks for looking [20:12] allows patching configure.in instead of configure which is ackward [20:13] jtaylor: wouldn't think so, providing the build system is well behaved [20:13] make sure the patch is forwarded etc [20:14] already "applied upstream" (= upstream removed autotools and use scons) [20:14] fun [20:15] but we can't use that for oneiric, new features, still waiting in mentors for debian upload, so I fixed the old build [20:15] slurm is the package [20:40] jtaylor: re pacpl, I'd say go ahead, it sounds regressiony [20:40] and no, I wouldn't say dh_autoreconf is particularyl dangerous [20:40] * tumbleweed was reviewing all dh_python2 transitions before we asked for FFes for them, and finding lots of issues (should have posted those to ubuntu-devel...) [20:42] tumbleweed: regressions like FTBFS because it tried to install into /usr/local/? :) [20:44] ajmitch: the FTBFS ones were obvious [20:44] more common was missing byte-compilation, or byte-compiling the wrong things [20:44] I still feel like I need someone to check over what I've done to convert them, even on the simple ones [20:45] there's still much magic that goes on behind the scenes [20:50] Hi, i'm a begginer and i need some help [20:50] I've found a bug and i try to patch the package, but an include is make and the file doesn't exist [20:51] The gettext.h doesn't exist [20:51] /* Internationalization. */ [20:52] #include "gettext.h" [20:52] #define _(str) gettext (str) [20:52] #define N_(str) gettext_noop (str) [20:56] it's the hello-2.6 package [21:01] spartan-11510: the file is in gnulib/lib in that package, you ahve to pass that to the compiler with the -I flag [21:02] spartan-11510: what exactly are you trying to do? the makefile should do that for you in that package [21:03] When you use "hello -h" he said we can use -m option but if you try to use ii, it doesn't work [21:05] spartan-11510: it doesn't offer the -m option for me [21:06] maybe it's translation, i'm french [21:06] it proposed me for read e-mail... [21:11] spartan-11510: I don't understand, hello is just an example application, it only prints out hello world not more [21:12] I know, but if you look in the translation file hello-2.6/po/fr.po you can see that [21:12] #~ msgid "" [21:12] #~ "GNU hello, THE greeting printing program.\n" [21:12] #~ "\n" [21:12] #~ "Usage: %s [OPTION]\n" [21:13] #~ "\n" [21:13] #~ " -h, --help display this help and exit\n" [21:13] #~ " -v, --version display version information and exit\n" [21:13] #~ " -t, --traditional use traditional greeting format\n" [21:13] #~ " -m, --mail print your mail\n" [21:13] #~ "\n" [21:13] #~ "Report bugs to bug-gnu-hello@prep.ai.mit.edu.\n" [21:13] #~ msgstr "" [21:13] #~ "Le logiciel Hello de GNU, LE programme de Bienvenue.\n" [21:13] #~ "\n" [21:13] #~ "Usage: %s [OPTION]\n" [21:13] #~ " -h, --help afficher l'aide-m�moire\n" [21:13] #~ " -v, --version afficher le nom et la version du logiciel\n" [21:13] #~ " -t, --traditional utiliser le format traditionnel de salutations\n" [21:13] !pastebin | spartan-11510 [21:13] spartan-11510: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[21:19] spartan-11510: first you should check if it has been fixed or reported upstream, if not do so [21:20] on launchpad? because i think it's a debian package not an ubuntu [21:20] upstream in this case is gnu [21:21] upstream= the people who wrote the software [21:21] spartan-11510: to create a patch simply fix the po files and do debuild -us -uc -S, this will create a patch in debian/patches/debian-changes-2.7-1 [21:22] you can submit this patch to upstream or open a bug in debian and attach it there [21:22] ok thank's [21:23] but note, this is not a very important application, its possible nobody will care [21:27] debuild -us -uc -S doesn't work [21:28] please pastebin the output: debuild -us -uc -S | pastebinit [21:32] jtaylor: result http://paste.ubuntu.com/683876/ [21:33] spartan-11510: you still have a backup/swap file in the build tree from your editor, remove them before building [21:34] all *~ file [21:34] what debuild will do is take your extracted tree and compare it to the original unmodified source tarball and make a patch from it, it cannot handle binary files that way [21:34] (unless you explicitly tell it too, but thats rarely needed) [21:38] i haven't *~ file [21:40] hello-2.6/src/.system.h.kate-swp [21:42] spartan-11510: I just quckly check, it was already reported but ignored https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hello/2010-12/msg00003.html [21:42] you could reply to that message telling them that the problem are the translations [21:43] jtaylor: ok, and i could send the patch [21:43] yes [21:48] jtaylor: thank you for your help now i know how to debug a simple package [21:49] spartan-11510: when this worked you can now test the patch by building the package completely [21:49] spartan-11510: debuild -us -uc (without -S), this will create a .deb in the parent folder which you can install [21:50] for details on the flags see man dpkg-buildpackage [21:57] jtaylor: thank you very much for everithing but i build it and i make dpkg --install hello_2.6-1_amd64.deb [21:57] and i've always the same package [21:59] always same error [22:00] i've make [22:00] dpkg-buildpackage [22:00] dpkg --install hello_2.6-1_amd64.deb [22:03] you mean the --mail is still there? [22:05] yes [22:08] unfortunatly I'm unfamiliar with translations, maybe you have to edit a different file or regenrate something === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk [22:12] i will search on google i try to fix this, and enjoy you're night school tomorrow...
