[01:46] <poolie> can i use pycentral across all of hardy..oneiric?
[01:58] <Riddell> poolie: yes, pycentral isn't new
[02:01] <poolie> i knew it was old; i wondered if it was too deprecated
[02:01] <poolie> thanks though
[02:03] <Riddell> poolie: using dh_python2 is more fashionable than using pycentral
[02:03] <mwhudson> but doesn't work on even lucid, right?
[02:04] <Riddell> right, it's newer
[02:21]  * micahg thinks there's a workitem to backport dh_python2 to lucid
[02:22] <micahg> poolie: pycentral has been deprecated as well
[02:22] <broder> i think there are plans to demote it to universe this cycle
[02:23] <micahg> well, hopefully we can just finish the transition and drop it from the archive
[02:24] <micahg> 943 packages to go
[02:24]  * broder is a bit skeptical whether that's the best use of developer time this cycle
[02:25]  * micahg has a few other things he'd like to drop as well that require transitions
[02:36] <taladon> i'm getting this when i try to build gnome-nettool http://pastebin.com/qNC0NEyu   not sure what I need to satisfy configure
[02:39] <taladon> hmm, think I may have just figured it out... just did apt-get install gtk2.6 252meg download
[02:40] <broder> taladon: there are a few ways to figure this out. you can use "apt-get build-dep gnome-nettool"
[02:40] <broder> if you're working from the debian package, you can also look at debian/control for the "Build-Depends" line
[02:40] <taladon> already tried that... but it didn't grab the gtk2.6
[02:41] <taladon> i'm pulling branch from launchpad
[02:42] <broder> taladon: did you grab an old version of gnome-nettool? the current one shouldn't need gtk2
[02:46] <taladon> i did a bzr branch lp:gnome-nettool
[03:10] <poolie> micahg, thanks
[03:10] <poolie> i think at the moment i don't totally need either of them
[03:10] <poolie> this is the lp-buildd package, so it's quite special

[09:16] <Daviey> cjwatson: thanks
[09:44] <Daviey> cjwatson: Hmm, wget-udeb is 159K, is that so bad?
[09:56] <cjwatson> Daviey: it's quite a bit compared to the size of the netboot initrd

[09:58] <dr3mro> please can any one help me create a daily build ppa of an application i am not a contributer to in launchpad ??

[10:05] <Daviey> please slap me.
[10:08]  * cjwatson fetches the trout
[10:09] <cjwatson> I think it was mostly just that I noticed that wget-udeb was being built with obviously unnecessary options and that 159K seemed rather a lot for a minimal version of wget; perhaps I'm out of date though

[11:58] <ockham_> hi, i'm on natty, and i'd like to  setup pbuilder for precise. i'm using the ~/.pbuilderrc from the wiki, but it doesn't work: i'm getting
[11:58] <ockham_> Unknown distribution: oneiric-proposed
[11:59] <ockham_> what am i doing wrong?
[11:59] <cjwatson> which wiki page?
[12:00] <ockham_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto
[12:00] <ockham_> -- from the "Multiple pbuilders" section
[12:00] <cjwatson> can you pastebin the entire output from pbuilder?
[12:00] <ockham_> with oneiric and precise added, that is
[12:00] <cjwatson> including the command you're running
[12:00] <ockham_> okay. i'm trying to invoke it via cowbuilder -- one second
[12:01] <sagaci> ockham_, pbuilder-dist precise create
[12:01] <cjwatson> sagaci: I don't think that's the problem, let me debug this please
[12:01] <ockham_> http://pastebin.com/9hFpiY4z
[12:01] <cjwatson> I mean I think there may be an interesting problem in here
[12:02] <sagaci> ok no problemo

=== zyga_ is now known as zyga
[12:02] <cjwatson> ockham_: are you running this command in a directory where debian/changelog exists?
[12:02] <ockham_> actually, yes
[12:03] <cjwatson> ockham_: what is the first line of debian/changelog?
[12:03] <ockham_> ooh, i get it. it's really oneiric-updates. i just cd'ed somewhere else...
[12:03] <ockham_> hm, still failing
[12:03] <ockham_> now with a different error
[12:04] <cjwatson> I've fixed the pbuilder howto to cover that situation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto?action=diff&rev2=177&rev1=176
[12:04] <ockham_> great!
[12:04] <cjwatson> but cding somewhere else for creation is the right thing to do anyway
[12:04] <ockham_> i've updated my pastebin to reflect the new error
[12:05] <cjwatson> it might have given you a new url for the update?
[12:05] <cjwatson> (no change when I reload)
[12:06] <ockham_> oops. http://pastebin.com/CzGgaSKB
[12:06] <ockham_> oneiric is already in /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/
[12:06] <ockham_> precise, though, isn't
[12:07] <ockham_> so i'd need an updated version of whatever package contains those scripts?
[12:07] <cjwatson> you could (debootstrap), or you could just add a symlink
[12:07] <cjwatson> sudo ln -s gutsy /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/precise
[12:08] <cjwatson> that reminds me though, I should do some backports of debootstrap
[12:09] <ockham_> didn't check with ls -al first. created the symlink now, but yeah, OOTB would be even better...
[12:09] <ockham_> okay, cowbuilder seems to work now. thanks a bunch cjwatson!

[12:20] <ockham_> which fails with some CDBS related complaints
[12:21] <ockham_> http://pastebin.com/fxWNXA3j
[12:23] <ockham_> anyone?
[12:26] <geser> looks like some build-dependencies are not installed, but as I don't use pdebuild (only pbuilder) I don't know how to "fix" it
[12:28] <ockham_> geser: i think normally, these should get installed automatically when using pdebuild...
=== renato_ is now known as renato
[12:37] <geser> ockham_: after a quick look at pdebuild, I'm not sure if it's already inside the chroot at this point at pdebuild wants to build a source package first
[12:37] <ockham_> geser: really? hm, what do i need to do then?
[12:37] <geser> try installing cdbs and dh-autoreconf to see if the error messages goes away (or at least less errors)
[12:38] <ockham_> geser: or, how do you normally invoke pbuilder to build a package
[12:38] <ockham_> ?
[12:38] <geser> ockham_: I usually use "debuild -S" to build the source package and then use pbuilder on this source package to build it
[12:39] <ockham_> about the chroot, you were right. i installed cdbs and dh-autoreconf, and it doesn't complain anymore.
[12:39] <geser> (you need to have the packages used in the clean target installed to be able to build a source packages, mostly it's debhelper, cdbs and similar)
[12:47] <jelmer> what's the best way to make sure an init file gets installed on Debian and the upstart file on Ubuntu?
[12:47] <jelmer> From what I can tell, dh_installinit won't necessarily do the right thing. I'd prefer to have a single source package for both, so that there's no need for merging back and forth all the time.
=== smb` is now known as smb
[12:57] <geser> dh_installinit doesn't the right thing? how?
[13:00] <jelmer> geser: if I read its manpage correctly, it wouldn't install debian/FOO.init if debian/FOO.upstart exists
[13:05] <geser> oh, this isn't an ubuntu delta that it prefers the upstart file?
[13:09] <geser> jelmer: I'd probably try to use dpkg-vendor to check if Ubuntu or Debian and move the .upstart file out of the way if Debian
[13:10] <jelmer> geser: its manpage is the same on Debian, from what I can tell
[13:10] <jelmer> geser: thanks, I'll give that a try.
[13:16] <ockham_> i've heard that tomboy was dropped from the precise standard installation. what's the launchpad project for the standard install? i'd like to suggest gnote (C++ implemented tomboy clone) as a replacement.
[13:21] <jamespage> jelmer: the nova source package does a dpkg-vendor check and installs the upstart configuration instead of an init script when required (i.e. for Ubuntu) if you want a working example
[13:22] <jamespage> however slangasek did mention some work that is happening in Debian to address upstart/init co-existence at UDS-P (unless I got the wrong end of the stick)
[13:25] <jelmer> jamespage: thanks, I'll have a look at the nova package

[13:31] <Laney> i am unaware that it has been 'dropped' from anything
[13:31] <brendand> pitti - oh. it wasn't in the install for a while though. maybe we were thinking of dropping it?
[13:31] <pitti> we were thinking of it, but 11.10 still installs it
[13:31] <ockham_> FWIW, http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/gnote
[13:31] <brendand> ockham_ - you can put suggestions on https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-default-apps
[13:31] <brendand> ockham_ - unless someone says otherwise
[13:32] <ockham_> brendand: thanks, that's what i was looking for
[13:32]  * brendand install gnote
[13:33] <brendand> (to find out if it can import tomboy notes)
[13:33] <brendand> i think it's a shame something with such nice U1 integration is getting dropped. i guess because it has mono
[13:33] <brendand> hopefully a good replacement can be found
[13:35] <brendand> well, it seems to use the same notes database. ain't that nice
[13:36] <ockham_> brendand: i know. i've used it before, but last time i checked, it was lacking an indicator (still using old gnome-panel applet style), i think
[13:37] <ockham_> but that might be not too hard to fix
[14:01] <cjwatson> lucas: there used to be an entirely different source package called yard (http://packages.qa.debian.org/y/yard.html).
