| shayonj | how do i know the section of program for the debian/control file | 05:21 |
| shayonj | ? | 05:22 |
| Rhonda | By reading the section descriptions and deciding yourself. | 05:22 |
| shayonj | where can i find that or in the apt-repo description, you mena ? | 05:23 |
| shayonj | mean* | 05:23 |
| Rhonda | It's in the policy. | 05:26 |
| Rhonda | ah, and that refers to the packages site. "neat" :) | 05:27 |
| Rhonda | shayonj: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/ - or in the package tool of your choice | 05:27 |

| shayonj | Rhonda, oh alright. thanks :) | 05:29 |
| === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away | ||
| shayonj | is using apt-rdepends is a good idea to find the dependencies of a package ? | 05:43 |
| shayonj | actually i dont think so. thanks anyways :0 | 05:45 |
| shayonj | :) * | 05:46 |
| RAOF | apt-get rdepends $X does the opposite: it finds the packages which depend on $X. | 05:46 |
| Rhonda | the r stands for reverse :) | 05:53 |
| shayonj | RAOF, Rhonda .. right. So do you guys know, what should I be using to check the dependencies as i believe dh_make doesnt do that on its own, right | 06:06 |
| Rhonda | Use pbuilder/cowbuilder/some chrooted build environment with the minimal set of packages installed | 06:07 |
| Rhonda | That will fail if you don't give it all the needed Build-Depends and you can work on from that point, iteratively | 06:07 |
| shayonj | Rhonda, right, but for pbuilder i need .dsc and i am building this package from scratch | 06:08 |
| shayonj | its like i want list dependencies in the control file | 06:09 |
| Rhonda | So? | 06:09 |
| Rhonda | .dsc is easy. dpkg-source -b and done | 06:10 |
| Rhonda | You want to have *Build-*Dependencies in the control file. The dependencies should be figured out by dpkg-shlibdeps | 06:10 |
| shayonj | oh i see | 06:11 |
| shayonj | and does dpkg-shlibdeps list them automatically in the control file later ? | 06:11 |
| shayonj | i have the build dependencies in the control filoe | 06:12 |
| shayonj | file* | 06:12 |
| Rhonda | That's what the placeholder is there for | 06:12 |
| Rhonda | The ${shlibs:Depends} will get filled in by dpkg-shlibdeps | 06:12 |
| shayonj | right right | 06:12 |
| shayonj | ugh.. thanks Rhonda :D | 06:13 |
| Rhonda | So for the Depends in the binary package, you only need to add stuff that can't be automatically get figured out. For most parts, don't worry. | 06:13 |
| shayonj | yep. its interesting, just taking a while to understand the working. Thanks Rhonda :) | 06:14 |
| shayonj | what is a good packaging license any recommendations/suggestions ? | 06:36 |
| RAOF | Generally one uses the same license as the rest of the code, although any free license is ok. | 06:37 |
| shayonj | do i need to do any kind of registration for that or just list it ? | 06:37 |
| RAOF | You're the author of the packaging; you just document what license you're releasing it under. | 06:42 |
| shayonj | cool. | 06:42 |
| shayonj | okay one more question, this package is licensed under GNU but it is not present here /usr/share/common-licenses/ . so should i just copy the text from its copyright file (from the source) | 06:43 |
| shayonj | ? | 06:43 |
| shayonj | i am sorry i meant, copy from the license file of the source* | 06:44 |
| RAOF | Your debian/copyright file needs the full text of the license, yes. | 06:44 |
| shayonj | okay. | 06:45 |
| shayonj | yeah, i read it in the guide but thought it would a good idea if i just cleared the doubt before moving ahead. better to be on the safe side. | 06:46 |
| shayonj | how do i find out the authors copyright ? or is the same as rest of it | 06:53 |
| RAOF | I'm not sure what the question is. The code you're packaging presumably has a license attached (if it doesn't, then it's not redistributable, and we can't put it in the archive). | 06:55 |
| shayonj | RAOF, yes it does have a license attached to it. but here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#copyright it says "Copyright:" and thats where the authors copyright goes in, right ? so i am asking where do i get that info from | 06:56 |
| shayonj | it says this - Copyright: | 06:57 |
| shayonj | Copyright (C) {Year(s)} by {Author(s)} {Email address(es)} | 06:57 |
| RAOF | Hm. That documentation should be updated to point to http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ | 06:58 |
| shayonj | okay. | 06:58 |
| shayonj | thanks for that ! | 06:58 |
| shayonj | been a long day. time to stretch. night guys | 07:06 |

| gador | hi, I have a question: I want to pack a package containing a script compiled by node package manager (npm). But by doing a npm install <package> it checks whether there is a new version, but the build environment doesn't have a internet connection. How can I build and install the package without an internet connection? (Reference: bug 861219) | 18:27 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 861219 in Ubuntu "[needs-packaging] forever" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/861219 | 18:27 |
| tumbleweed | gador: do you actually need to do any building? Can you not just copy the js library to /usr/lib/nodejs/$pkg ? | 18:37 |
| gador | tumbleweed, I could try that, but yes, by doing a sudo npm install forever -g, it does compile things | 18:38 |
| tumbleweed | oh, so there are c extensions | 18:40 |
| * tumbleweed knows nothing about node packages | 18:40 | |
| gador | tumbleweed, see http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/403177/ it is the output of the install | 18:41 |
| gador | if I cut internet connection, it complains about not being able to connect to the main node server to check for a newer version | 18:42 |
| gador | tumbleweed, too bad you don't know so much about node.. | 18:43 |
| tumbleweed | gador: I'd ask these guys: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/pkg-javascript | 18:45 |
| gador | tumbleweed, thanks I'll do that | 18:45 |
| tumbleweed | gador: looking at the forever source tree, i don't see anything that isn't javascript. The stuff that's being compiled must be in the dependencies | 18:53 |
| gador | tumbleweed, yes it seems the daemon package needs to be compiled (which is a dependency of forever as stated in package.json) | 18:54 |
| tumbleweed | gador: you'll have to package all the dependancies first | 18:56 |
| gador | tumbleweed, ah, ok. So I will have to pack "daemon" first, install it and then install forever? | 18:57 |
| tumbleweed | gador: correct (and any other forever dependencies that aren't packaged) | 19:10 |
| gador | tumbleweed, so I would have to pack all 12 dependencies first, get them installed and then install forever..? | 19:12 |
| tumbleweed | gador: yes | 19:14 |
| gador | tumbleweed, great ;-) | 19:14 |
| gador | tumbleweed, thanks for your help! I think I'll get back to that tomorrow and go to bed now ;-) | 19:18 |
| m4n1sh | there is a 1 line patch for a universe package in oneiric | 19:44 |
| m4n1sh | can it be accepted at this time? | 19:44 |
| tumbleweed | yes, if it's important | 19:44 |
| m4n1sh | I don't think it is an important package | 19:45 |
| m4n1sh | but yeah people do use it | 19:45 |
| m4n1sh | not sure about the popularity | 19:45 |
| m4n1sh | it is gnome-activity-journal | 19:45 |
| m4n1sh | right now it does not work | 19:46 |
| m4n1sh | due to a method which blocks loading of the UI | 19:46 |
| tumbleweed | no I mean an important pant | 19:46 |
| tumbleweed | patch | 19:46 |
| m4n1sh | well, don't know how you define important | 19:46 |
| m4n1sh | but without that patch the application is right now broken | 19:46 |
| m4n1sh | useless | 19:46 |
| micahg | m4n1sh: that package is fine for bug fixes | 19:46 |
| tumbleweed | making a not working package work is pretty important :) | 19:47 |
| m4n1sh | micahg: tumbleweed right now that is completely broken | 19:47 |
| m4n1sh | look at this askubuntu question for more info http://askubuntu.com/questions/64021/gnome-activity-journal-stalls/64105 | 19:47 |
| m4n1sh | micahg: tumbleweed or just this image http://i.stack.imgur.com/sZlC8.png | 19:47 |
| micahg | it has no reverse depends, so bug fixes would be fine, no working is an RC bug and that's fine too :) | 19:48 |
| tumbleweed | m4n1sh: go ahead | 19:48 |
| m4n1sh | so shall I update this branch? | 19:48 |
| m4n1sh | https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/gnome-activity-journal/oneiric | 19:48 |
| m4n1sh | means a merge request? | 19:48 |
| m4n1sh | and 0.8.0-1 becomes? 0.8.0-2? | 19:49 |
| tumbleweed | m4n1sh: or provide a debdiff. 0.8.0-1 becomes 0.8.0-1ubuntu1 | 19:49 |
| m4n1sh | never created a debdiff though, you people have merge right? | 19:50 |
| tumbleweed | m4n1sh: not sure what the question is, but yes, you can create a merge request | 19:50 |
| m4n1sh | thanks | 19:51 |
| m4n1sh | doing it now | 19:51 |
| m4n1sh | I created a patch directory | 20:24 |
| m4n1sh | and put the series file | 20:24 |
| m4n1sh | which contains the name of the patch | 20:24 |
| m4n1sh | and put the patch in the patch file | 20:24 |
| m4n1sh | now the problem is that when I look at the build log | 20:25 |
| m4n1sh | it shows | 20:25 |
| m4n1sh | dpkg-source: info: applying disable_set_background.patch | 20:25 |
| m4n1sh | dpkg-source: info: applying debian-changes-0.8.0-1ubuntu1 | 20:25 |
| m4n1sh | the second patch comes out of nowhere and reverses the patch | 20:25 |
| m4n1sh | how to solve this? | 20:25 |
| tumbleweed | you didn't have the patch applied at build time | 20:25 |
| m4n1sh | how can I do that | 20:26 |
| tumbleweed | that behavior has changed in newer versions of dpkg, bt | 20:26 |
| tumbleweed | btw | 20:26 |
| tumbleweed | now it'll just abort | 20:26 |
| m4n1sh | wont putting the patch under debian/patches be enough | 20:27 |
| m4n1sh | for debuild to pick it up? | 20:27 |
| tumbleweed | yes, so I'm assuming there's something else going on too | 20:28 |
| m4n1sh | tumbleweed: you want the branch? or the build log? | 20:29 |
| jtaylor | whats in debian-chages-0.8...? | 20:29 |
| tumbleweed | m4n1sh: branch | 20:29 |
| m4n1sh | tumbleweed: lp:~manishsinha/gnome-activity-journal/fixes-831436-gaj-notloading-oneiric | 20:29 |
| m4n1sh | jtaylor: the exact opposite of the patch I added | 20:29 |
| m4n1sh | it reverses it, don't know how it is getting created | 20:29 |
| jtaylor | it gets created automatically by dpkg from the diff to the orig tarbal | 20:30 |
| m4n1sh | yes | 20:31 |
| m4n1sh | how to stop this in this case? | 20:31 |
| m4n1sh | jtaylor: I looked at how Jo handled patch in zeitgeist-sharp and did in the same way | 20:32 |
| tumbleweed | m4n1sh: your branch looks fine | 20:32 |
| jtaylor | that branach has a stray debian changes in it | 20:32 |
| jtaylor | remove it, clean your bzr tree | 20:32 |
| jtaylor | then it should work | 20:32 |
| jtaylor | debian/patches/series | 20:33 |
| m4n1sh | you mean series needs to be there? | 20:33 |
| m4n1sh | that file? | 20:33 |
| tumbleweed | yes it needs to be there | 20:33 |
| jtaylor | yes | 20:33 |
| jtaylor | but without the extra entry | 20:33 |
| tumbleweed | right, it was fine once I removed that entry :) | 20:34 |
| m4n1sh | which extra entry? | 20:34 |
| jtaylor | debian-changes... | 20:34 |
| m4n1sh | ah | 20:34 |
| m4n1sh | even I removed that, but it gets created on the fly | 20:35 |
| jtaylor | clean your tree | 20:35 |
| jtaylor | bzr revert; bzr clean-tree | 20:35 |
| jtaylor | but beware that removes uncommited stuff | 20:35 |
| m4n1sh | debian/patches/series is there in the branch. Right tumbleweed ? | 20:35 |
| tumbleweed | yes, it's there | 20:35 |
| jtaylor | yes but incorrect | 20:35 |
| m4n1sh | ah | 20:36 |
| m4n1sh | that gets added | 20:36 |
| m4n1sh | :( | 20:36 |
| m4n1sh | trying, will take a min | 20:40 |
| m4n1sh | yes, works | 20:41 |
| tumbleweed | cool | 20:43 |
| m4n1sh | here is the merge req https://code.launchpad.net/~manishsinha/gnome-activity-journal/fixes-831436-gaj-notloading-oneiric/+merge/78005 | 20:43 |
| tumbleweed | m4n1sh: btw, I suggest reading a quilt howto at some point (e.g. http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/howto/quilt.html ) you probably want to use the quilt command most of the time, rather than playing with patches by hand | 20:43 |
| m4n1sh | tumbleweed: thanks a lot, bookmarked it :) | 20:44 |
| m4n1sh | will read tomorrow | 20:44 |
| m4n1sh | so do I need to subscribe some release of desktop or motu team to that bug? | 20:44 |
| tumbleweed | m4n1sh: no, the branch will appear in the sponsor queue, but seeing as I've already looked at it, I'll deal with it now | 20:45 |
| m4n1sh | thanks a lot | 20:45 |
| m4n1sh | tumbleweed: I have overwritten the branch | 20:45 |
| m4n1sh | so you might want to pull again | 20:45 |
| tumbleweed | otoh, the sponsor queue is quite long right now, so making a noise about it helps :) | 20:45 |
| tumbleweed | m4n1sh: you didn't close the bug in the changelog entry | 20:46 |
| m4n1sh | so that is important? do I need to make that change now? | 20:46 |
| tumbleweed | m4n1sh: and it's always helpful to document your patches: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/ | 20:46 |
| tumbleweed | yes, please | 20:46 |
| tumbleweed | is there any disadvantage to not setting the background there? I assume upstream will take a slightly different approach? | 20:48 |
| m4n1sh | so changeing "* Add patch to disable setting the background which was blocking AJ" to | 20:48 |
| m4n1sh | "* Add patch to disable setting the background which was blocking AJ (Closes: LP #831436)" | 20:48 |

| m4n1sh | tumbleweed: it was just a cosmetic thing | 20:48 |
| tumbleweed | no, you need a : after LP | 20:48 |
| tumbleweed | Usually we don't use Closes for lp bugs, just LP: #XXXX | 20:49 |
| tumbleweed | Closes: is for Debian bugs | 20:49 |
| m4n1sh | esp about that changing background | 20:50 |
| m4n1sh | that was just a cosmetic change | 20:50 |
| m4n1sh | which created more of a problem | 20:50 |
| m4n1sh | and the person who has done that is on leave (studies I suppose) | 20:50 |
