taylorrwhen are the mythbuntu autobuilds for 0.24-fixes ran each day or night?03:09
patdk-lapwouldn't that depend?03:35
patdk-lapon how long they take to build, how many things are queued before them03:35
patdk-lapand what timezone your in03:35
mrandas I recall, unless there is a backlog, early evening us central time03:41
taylorrI dunno, I was hoping a dev would know what time it started03:41
taylorrmrand: thanks!03:42
taylorrjust committed a fix and was wondering when it'd be ready for users03:42
Jester86hey.. i see on the site the mythbuntu-control-centre should have an area to switch repositories forward for mythtv 0.25.  anyone want to tell me where that is?  I'm not seeing it03:46
mrandtaylorr: looks like your change was a bit too late to be picked up in last nights build.  Should be in there tonight (lately builds have been completing around 0300 UTC)15:44
taylorrmrand: thanks!15:49
mrandyou're welcome15:49
quentusrex_anyone know how to enable optical audio passthru on the hd-pvr?17:09
mrandquentusrex_: did you look on the mythtv HD-PVR page?  I don't know if it applies, but you might look on that and read about "default_audio_input"17:49
mrandmythtv wiki page, I meant17:50
quentusrex_mrand, I was able to figure it out. Turns out that when you add the capture source what ever input you set there is the only input the device will listen to.17:51
quentusrex_so optical passthru is disabled if you set to RCA input17:51
dekarlis there a "how to rebuilt your ubuntu package with a patch applied" guide for mythtv around? I'd like to take a peak at #10054 but have never built mythtv20:53
mranddekarl: I don't know if it is up-to-date, but yes.  let me see if I can find it...20:56
mranddekarl: yep, http://mythbunut.org/wiki/recipes.  Oh wait, I suspect that's old (pre-git).  Here's a brief thing on git-based builds:  http://mythbuntu.org/wiki/developer-cheatsheet#Building   (you may have to click "building" in the index).  If you need help or run into anything, don't hesitate to ask (so that the guide can be improved)21:02
dekarlso it's not as simple a https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#Applying_a_patch + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#Building_the_Package_Locally_.28Binary_Only.29 ?21:04
Zinn[wiki.ubuntu.com] PackagingGuide/Complete - Ubuntu Wiki21:05
mranddekarl: I've not done a manual build recently, so I can't say for certain.  superm1 might be able to.21:14
dekarlI'll try the one from the ubuntu guide as it talks about patches explicitly21:17
dekarladding "apt-src" in addition to "apt" statements to the mythbuntu sources.list makes getting the source of the packages lots easier :)21:28
mrandheh21:29
dekarlhmm, there isn't a "debuild --meet-unmet-dependencies" by chance?21:36
tgm4883dekarl, 'apt-get build-dep mythtv'21:41
tgm4883that would install build dependencies21:41
tgm4883is that what you are looking for?21:41
dekarlyes, thats it! thanks21:43
superm1ah we do need to update that recipes page22:18
superm1forgot about it22:18
dekarlhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User:Dekarl/Testing_patches_on_Mythbuntu22:18
Zinn[www.mythtv.org] User:Dekarl/Testing patches on Mythbuntu - MythTV Official Wiki22:18
superm1yeah that's a pretty straightforward way to go about it22:19
dekarlthought it might come in handy to have a "dude, please test, it's easy" guide at hand for the next patch :)22:19
superm1we had talked about a way to deploy a web based GUI that you give it a patch and it gives you a PPA with it22:20
superm1but it doesn't come up enough that it's worth the effort22:20
dekarlthat sounds like a cool idea... it avoids seeding ccache and downloading lots22:21
dekarlescepically for people that are afraid of compilers and all that voodoo stuff22:21
superm1yeah it's perfect for that scenario22:22
superm1but i feel like mythtv (and mythbuntu) are still fairly techy oriented22:23
superm1so most the people can follow a set of commands22:23
dekarlover here in DVB land theres lots of patches that don't get tested because the patch and someone who can test it *and* has the development skills don't come together :( I hope a simple checklist (or premade ppas per ticket) can help with that22:24
superm1i'll clean up the recipe page, i think i can get it down to a few things to follow and you let me know if it looks good22:26
dekarlAhh, I just commited because it's build and packaging now22:26
dekarlbut feel free to edit it as you like22:26
superm1no i mean i'll update the recipes page at mythbuntu.org22:27
superm1not right this moment, but i'll try to in the next day or two22:27
superm1the one that mrand spat at you22:27
dekarlahh, I see. it's missing the apt/sources change22:28
dekarlI get heaps of these messages, is that normal or is it me?22:31
dekarldpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on <somelib>.so.0 could be avoided if "debian/mythbrowser/usr/lib/mythtv/plugins/<someplugin>.so" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).22:31
superm1those are normal22:32
superm1it's because mythtv's linking is using the same link command on everything22:32
superm1i've raised it in #mythtv previously, but no one seems to mind22:32
dekarlhmm, then I'll just life with it.22:32
dekarlsuperm1: the guide at my user space is good for getting packages built, I can test them in ~50 minutes (or more likely tomorrow)22:39
superm1dekarl: cool, ideally i'd like to factor it around using https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/blob/master/deb/build-debs.sh though22:40
Zinn[github.com] deb/build-debs.sh at master from MythTV/packaging - GitHub22:40
superm1because that gets the latest upstream code (either fixes or master) as well as the latest packaging (fixes or master)22:40
superm1maybe it's best to add an additional optional argument to that script to include a patch22:40
superm1that would make it super easy for people22:40
dekarlI didn't go that route because I couldn't figure out where to apply the patch22:40
superm1yeah the script would need a little bit of work to do that automatically (basically automate a few commands about testing applying the patch and where it would have to go as you say)22:41
dekarlon the other hand the way I used is the generic ubuntu way if I understood it correctly, might come in handy, too22:43
superm1yeah the way you did it is a fairly generic ubuntu way to do it22:43
dekarlbtw, does it make sense to include xmltv in the mythbuntu ppas?22:43
dekarlafter all mythtv is pretty much useless without guide data :)22:44
superm1i get the sense that some upstream folk don't want to know anything about how packaging works, so it's nice to abstract it in build scripts when possible22:44
superm1no one has came clamoring for it, but that might be a good idea too22:44
dekarlWell, once we move from good old cvs to git I'd like to shuffle the build around a bit anyway to conform to modern standards22:45
superm1for xmltv?22:47
* dekarl nods22:48
superm1i'm not sure how the xmltv code is currently packaged, so it might require some other finagling, but will certainly be easier when upstream moves to git23:07
dekarlI think the packaging scripts are all over here http://git.crustynet.org.uk/?p=xmltv.git;a=tree , not in the main repo23:25
Zinn[git.crustynet.org.uk] git.crustynet.org.uk Git - xmltv.git/tree23:25
superm1dekarl: can you link me a sample patch that was in a bug that a user would generally be asked to apply?23:29
superm1i need to see if i can get the patch levels matched up23:29
dekarlI'm currently testing this one http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/1005423:31
dekarlit's a one liner, but with all devs that have spare time in ATSC it's never going to be applied without user testing23:31
dekarlif you want one that's bigger, see http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9726 without user testing that's likely going nowhere either23:33
superm1great,  that's perfect for adding the functionality to the deb builder sh script23:34
superm1thanks23:34
