| psusi | the upstream config.guess and config.status obviously change whenever I build the package... debuild complains the next time I try to build... why aren't these changes ignored? did I forget something? | 00:21 |
|---|---|---|
| tumbleweed | why should the be ignored? if you want something that gets generated to be ignored, delete it in clean | 00:24 |
| psusi | but it's in the orig tarball | 00:24 |
| psusi | or was it? hrm.. | 00:24 |
| tumbleweed | deleted files are ignored | 00:24 |
| psusi | ahh | 00:25 |
| psusi | ok | 00:25 |
| psusi | hrm... the upstream code isn't finding -ldevmapper, I think because the library is actually named libdevmapper.so.1.02.1... how do I fix this? | 00:41 |
| psusi | no, that's not it.. hrm.... | 00:55 |
| psusi | AHA! transitory linking error! | 01:10 |
| psusi | darn new gcc behavior | 01:10 |

| === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance | ||
| ajmitch | EvilResistance: you can pass the key id to debuild with -k | 05:02 |
| EvilResistance | thanks | 05:03 |
| EvilResistance | anyone here know if its possible to get a specific upload to a PPA reversed? i accidentially entered the wrong upload destination in dput :/ | 05:48 |
| EvilResistance | (on LP. i posted in #launchpad, but nothing) | 05:48 |
| broder | ...reversed? | 05:57 |
| EvilResistance | broder: i accidentially uploaded my ZNC code (the one i modified to remove certain features and add others) to my backports-staging PPA | 05:57 |
| EvilResistance | it bumped the version number up | 05:58 |
| broder | just delete the source and binaries | 05:58 |
| EvilResistance | when the upload was destined to its own specific PPA | 05:58 |
| broder | i think if you do that and wait long enough you can upload the same version again | 05:58 |
| EvilResistance | broder: that'd delete the entire package, no? | 05:58 |
| broder | but not positive | 05:58 |
| EvilResistance | i.e. all versions | 05:58 |
| EvilResistance | i dont even see the version that actually *built* on the archive's lkist | 05:58 |
| EvilResistance | list* | 05:58 |
| EvilResistance | (I cancelled the pending builds though) | 05:59 |
| broder | not sure then | 05:59 |
| EvilResistance | yeah if i have to i'll post a question against launchpad itself to see if it can be done | 06:00 |
| EvilResistance | it might need some lp-admin magic to fix it :/ | 06:01 |
| EvilResistance | ugh and now dput won't upload the source tar | 06:03 |
| EvilResistance | er | 06:03 |
| EvilResistance | the orig.tar.gz | 06:03 |
| EvilResistance | so i cant put it into the right ppa | 06:04 |

| frafu | Hi I uploaded a package into a PPA, and shortly afterwards, I uploaded an updated package into that PPA, but it did not superseed the first uploaded package. I am aware that it is a problem with my versioning scheme: 0.96.1+bzr536-0ppa~oneiric1 and 0.96.1+bzr542-0ppa~oneiric1. Could anybody please give me an advice about how to do the versioning? Here is the situation: The ubuntu repositories are shipping 0.96.1-0ubuntu1. The version that I am publishing | 13:59 |
| frafu | is a snapshot of the 0.96 branch with a preview of 0.96.2. So, I want my snapshots to superseed 0.96.1 but it should be superseeded by 0.96.2. Thanks in advance for any advice. | 13:59 |
| frafu | What about 0.96.1-bzr542~ppa~oneiric1? Would that work? | 14:02 |
| jtaylor | 0.96.1+bzr536-0ppa~oneiric1 is smaller than 0.96.1+bzr542-0ppa~oneiric1, it should ahve superseeded | 14:03 |
| frafu | jtaylor: Here is the PPA: https://launchpad.net/~onboard/+archive/snapshots | 14:07 |
| frafu | Do you think that I have stumbled on a bug in launchpad? | 14:08 |
| jtaylor | oneiric has a package with precise as suffix, thats not so good | 14:09 |
| jtaylor | bzr542~ppa~oneiric1 will not superseed bzr542~ppa~precise1 | 14:10 |
| frafu | jtaylor: I think that I know now what happened: the versioning scheme is correct if I understood you correctly. I surely made a mistake while publishing the packages, because my intention was to publish the packages for the oneiric and the precise distributions. Thanks for your help. | 14:18 |
| jtaylor | dpkg --compare-versions is useful for such things | 14:18 |
| frafu | jtaylor: This is what I did wrong: 0.96.1+bzr542-0ppa~precise1 was intended for the precise distribution, but I forgot to replace oneiric with precise in the debian/changelog and it superseeded 0.96.1+bzr542-0ppa~oneiric1 in the oneiric repo of the PPA. Thanks for the command to compare the versions. I get warnings if I use it on my versioning scheme. Could you please tell me whether the problem is with my versioning scheme or with my usage of the comm | 14:46 |
| frafu | and? | 14:46 |
| frafu | dpkg --compare-versions '0.96.1+bzr536-0ppa~oneiric1_amd64.deb' gt '0.96.1+bzr542-0ppa~precise1_amd64.deb' | 14:47 |
| jtaylor | what warning | 14:47 |
| frafu | dpkg: warning: version '0.96.1+bzr536-0ppa~oneiric1_amd64.deb' has bad syntax: invalid character in revision number | 14:47 |
| frafu | dpkg: warning: version '0.96.1+bzr542-0ppa~precise1_amd64.deb' has bad syntax: invalid character in revision number | 14:47 |
| jtaylor | it only takes version number | 14:47 |
| jtaylor | not the whole filename | 14:47 |
| jtaylor | = the part before the _ | 14:47 |
| Ampelbein | gilir: hi, do you want to request a sync for nautilus-image-converter or are you ok with me doing it? It build fine in precise, buildlog at http://people.ubuntu.com/~amoog/nautilus-image-converter_0.3.1~git20110416-1-amd64-20111210-1540.gz | 14:47 |
| frafu | dpkg --compare-versions '0.96.1+bzr536-0ppa~oneiric1' gt '0.96.1+bzr542-0ppa~precise1' | 14:49 |
| frafu | does not output anything. Should it not tell me that it is wrong? | 14:49 |
| Ampelbein | You should check the returncode | 14:49 |
| jtaylor | put an && echo "yes" behind it | 14:50 |
| jtaylor | if you see it the statement is true | 14:50 |
| frafu | dpkg --compare-versions '0.96.1+bzr536-0ppa~oneiric1' gt '0.96.1+bzr542-0ppa~precise1' && echo "yes" | 14:52 |
| frafu | still no output | 14:52 |
| jtaylor | as its false | 14:52 |
| jtaylor | 536 < 542 | 14:52 |
| Ampelbein | frafu: if you want some output: dpkg --compare-versions '0.96.1+bzr536-0ppa~oneiric1' gt '0.96.1+bzr542-0ppa~precise1' && echo "true" || echo "false" | 14:56 |
| gilir | Ampelbein, bug 883071 needs to be fixed first before we can sync again | 14:56 |
| frafu | jtaylor: thanks; I understand now: the echo is only executed if the previous statement was true. | 14:56 |

| Ampelbein | gilir: Oh, didn't see that. Does that mean that even manual sync wouldn't work? | 14:57 |
| frafu | Ampelbein: Thanks for the alternative method that gives an answer in both cases. | 14:58 |
| gilir | Ampelbein, only fakesync works, which is a waste of time considering the sync can be automatic when it will be removed from blacklist | 14:59 |

| frafu | Does anybody know, whether there is a way to see how many times a package has been downloaded from a PPA? | 15:10 |

| frafu | Do python bindings exist? | 15:21 |

| jtaylor | how does one go about fixing bugs in main packages? | 15:35 |
| jtaylor | via merge request? | 15:35 |
| tumbleweed | jtaylor: there's nothing special about main | 15:37 |
| tumbleweed | many desktop packages have their packaging in bzr under the desktop-team (although IIRC they may be using UDD now, or about to be using UDD) | 15:38 |
| geser | jtaylor: the same way you fixed universe packages before you become MOTU | 15:38 |
| jtaylor | so a merge request/debdiff? | 15:40 |

| * nigelb waves from a comfortable 22 C. | 16:32 | |
| Laney | hold me | 16:36 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, a nice comfortable 20ish here too (touch wood it doesn't get too crazy hot next week) | 16:57 |
| nigelb | jtaylor: congrats on MOTU! | 16:57 |
| nigelb | Why so late :) | 16:57 |
| tumbleweed | heh | 16:58 |
| jtaylor | nigelb: thx | 17:03 |
| psusi | can dh_makeshlibs actually operate on more than one package at a time? lvm2 is exporting DH_OPTIONS = -pliblvm2app$(LVM2APP_ABINAME) -pliblvm2cmd$(LVM2CMD_ABINAME) -pliblvm2-dev... and there are no .symbol files for any of those | 18:45 |
| broder | does anybody object to multiarching openssl098? | 18:54 |
| broder | (i have a patch) | 18:54 |
| Laney | are we intending to keep that for much longer? | 18:59 |
| broder | it seems useful for 3rd party app compatibility | 19:01 |
| broder | i guess cjwatson's description of it as a "compatibility" package had me thinking it wasn't intended to be just transitional | 19:05 |
| broder | it looks like acroread may still link 0.9.8 | 19:18 |
| jtaylor | pypy does too | 19:26 |
| jtaylor | and you can't just ask people to rebuild that, it needs more than 4gb ram ^^ | 19:27 |
| tumbleweed | I'm working at packaging that... | 19:27 |
| jtaylor | I heard, thats great | 19:27 |
| tumbleweed | but it won't build on my machine any more (6G rab, built fine a month ago) | 19:27 |
| jtaylor | lol | 19:27 |
| tumbleweed | have to use a 32bit chroot... | 19:28 |
| psusi | man pages should be in .manpages, not .install shouldn't they? | 19:35 |
| jtaylor | yes | 19:36 |
| * psusi bonks the debian lvm team | 19:40 | |
| psusi | now if only I could figure out why the hell there are no symbols files for all but one of the libs in here | 19:44 |
| psusi | and dh_makeslibs on -c4 isn't complaining that it's found them either | 19:45 |
| tumbleweed | because nobody wrote them? | 19:49 |
| psusi | then dh_makeshlibs should complain that it has found new symbols shouldn't it? | 19:56 |
| psusi | and fail the build since I set it to -c4 | 19:57 |
| psusi | until I add the new symbols | 19:57 |
| tumbleweed | no symbols file doesn't mean there are new symbols | 19:58 |
| tumbleweed | it means we don't know | 19:59 |
| psusi | right.. we don't know what was there, but now we're scanning the libs, and should find a bunch of syms and print the diff for me to patch into the .symbols file shouldn't it? | 19:59 |
| tumbleweed | no, beacuse that would make for very messy build logs | 20:00 |
| tumbleweed | it's not that hard to run dpkg-gensymbols yourself | 20:00 |
| psusi | are you saying no because there NO symbols file, as opposed to an empty .symbols file? | 20:01 |
| tumbleweed | yes | 20:01 |
| psusi | because normally when it finds new symbols, it does print the diff | 20:01 |
| psusi | hrm... the man page for dpkg-gensymbols says if you use -c4, it should complain when new libs appear as well | 20:01 |
| tumbleweed | of course, it would be lovely if everyobody used symbols files, but in many packages, they seem to not be worth the effort (or at least, people say that) | 20:02 |
| psusi | debian policy requires that you use them doesn't it? | 20:02 |
| tumbleweed | no | 20:04 |
| psusi | hrm... let's see then... maybe I just need an LD_LIBRARY_PATH.... | 20:06 |
| psusi | so without them, then that just means packages built against the lib will always depend on exactly that version they were built with? | 20:06 |
| psusi | or newer? | 20:06 |
| tumbleweed | yes | 20:07 |
| tumbleweed | and you'll have no idea if you've broken ABI | 20:07 |
| tumbleweed | (not that symbols files are foolproof, but a missing symbol is definitly an ABI break) | 20:07 |
| psusi | right | 20:09 |
| psusi | so debian policy doesn't require their use for public libraries? seems to defeat the purpose | 20:09 |
| tumbleweed | what's wrong with them being optional? | 20:10 |
| tumbleweed | lots of the debian policy is optional | 20:10 |
| psusi | damnit... what's wrong here? dpkg-shlibdeps is complaining that it can't find library liblvm2cmd.so.2.02 needed by debian/libdevmapper-event1.02.1/lib/libdevmapper-event-lvm2.so.2.02, and suggests using LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you want it to find a private lib.. | 20:13 |
| psusi | I added export LD_LIBRARY_PATH = debian/build/build_deb/tools to the rules file, which is where that lib can be found | 20:14 |
| jtaylor | whats the library doing in /lib? | 20:20 |
| jtaylor | and the ld path should point to debian/package-name/usr/lib/whatever | 20:21 |
| psusi | because it's a lib? | 20:22 |
| jtaylor | ah lvm ok then the place is probably ok | 20:22 |
| psusi | hrm... I pointed it to the build dir instead of the install dir... thought that would be better as it's there prior to install | 20:22 |
| jtaylor | shlibdeps runs after nstall | 20:23 |
| jtaylor | pointing it to something somewhere else just risks that you build a broken package | 20:23 |
| psusi | ok... pointed it to the install_deb/lib directory... it's still complaining it can't find it... hrm... | 20:26 |
| psusi | aha! the other target was needlessly including this one | 20:40 |
| psusi | ahh... their rules file doesn't call dh_installman | 20:46 |
