| psusi | hallelujah, holy shit! I finally got it figured out and working... my god what a complex package, but I think I really understand what is going on now... it builds half a dozen packages with various interdependencies and two different sets of abi versions... damn! it's milla time! | 01:20 |
|---|---|---|
| paissad | is there policy for creating Unity quicklinks ? | 02:07 |
| paissad | for the .deb packaging | 02:08 |
| psusi | there's no way to make a package a dependency only if a third package is also installed is there? | 02:21 |
| tumbleweed | paissad: #ayatana or #ubuntu-desktop | 07:00 |
| paissad | tumbleweed, ok | 08:29 |

| pcpratts | hi! I am trying to save off config files for an upgrade | 14:04 |
| pcpratts | in postrm upgrade I copy the config files to a temp folder | 14:05 |
| pcpratts | and in postint configure I am trying to overwrite the files from the newly installed .deb package | 14:05 |
| pcpratts | but .dkpg-temp files are being created | 14:06 |
| pcpratts | and those are finally used by the installer in some way | 14:06 |
| Ampelbein | pcpratts: What do you want to do? dpkg by default prompts the user to overwrite/keep/examine changed configfiles. | 14:18 |
| pcpratts | well, my conf files are not marked it seems | 14:27 |
| pcpratts | Ampelbein: do you know how to tell dpkg what my config files are? | 14:27 |
| Ampelbein | pcpratts: see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ap-pkg-conffiles.html | 14:28 |
| pcpratts | okay, thanks! | 14:29 |
| lfaraone | I'm attempting to mirror the Ubuntu archive with ubumirror; is there a way to exclude certain releases from the mirroring? | 16:52 |
| tumbleweed | never used ubumirror... | 16:53 |
| lfaraone | (as in, I tried to exclude maverick, natty, and precise; it didn't work and I ran out of disk space <_<; | 16:53 |
| lfaraone | tumbleweed: well, I need to do a two-stage sync, right? | 16:54 |
| lfaraone | jpds: ping ^^ | 16:54 |
| tumbleweed | lfaraone: right, that looks like an ftpsync type thing | 16:54 |
| tumbleweed | you can't exclude releases, because it doesn't parse the Packages files | 16:54 |
| lfaraone | tumbleweed: should I use apt-mirror in the interim until I get a less sucky disk? | 16:55 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, or debmirror | 16:55 |
| Ampelbein | hyperair: Hi! Regarding bugs like 885505, it might be useful to include a short message with the status change to "Fix Released". Like "Fixed in the latest ubuntu version 0.21-1". That way, people know what happened. | 18:57 |
| hyperair | right, good idea. | 19:05 |
| hyperair | Ampelbein: thanks. i actually meant to close the bug in debian/changelog, but failed miserably when i missed out the # | 19:05 |
| Ampelbein | I thought so. I was a bit confused by the status change myself but checked the upload log to find out. | 19:06 |
| hyperair | heh | 19:06 |
| hyperair | sorry, i get a bit slipshod when changing a large number of bugs to fix released | 19:07 |
| Ampelbein | No worries ;-) | 19:07 |
| hyperair | i should probably make better use of the email interface for those | 19:07 |
| tumbleweed | ScottK, Laney, broder: do people use prevu? (Why is it still in the archive?) (re http://lists.debian.org/4EE4D536.7060909@grendelman.net ) | 21:48 |
| broder | i've never heard of people using it | 21:48 |
| * tumbleweed is following up to that thread | 21:49 | |
| broder | but i know its intent was to be easier to use/setup than sbuild/pbuilder. i don't know if it actually is | 21:51 |
| broder | or if that's still relevant in the era of ppas | 21:52 |
| * ajmitch thought it was just a wrapper around pbuilder | 21:59 | |
| ajmitch | but I haven't really used it | 21:59 |
| tumbleweed | question is, is it a useful one. I see very few uploads and few bug reports | 21:59 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, the code is tiny | 22:00 |
| ajmitch | it did what backportpackage is meant for | 22:00 |
| broder | i tihnk it can be replaced by backportpackage + pbuilder-dist with little documentation and not a whole lot of difficulty | 22:02 |
| ScottL | i have a bzr branch (ubuntustudio-default-settings) that i want to completely replace with another bzr branch (xubuntu-default-settings with modifications i will make) | 23:01 |
| ScottL | is the command i use to remove my current branch from bzr: 'bzr remove-tree' | 23:02 |
| ScottL | ? | 23:02 |
| tumbleweed | no remove-tree removes your working directory | 23:02 |
| tumbleweed | just rm -r | 23:03 |
| tumbleweed | (if I'm understanding your question correctly) | 23:03 |
| ScottL | tumbleweed, i'm not sure i am asking clearly | 23:03 |
| tumbleweed | you have a local branch that you don't want any more? | 23:04 |
| EvilResistance | ScottL: you basically want to purge your ubuntusudio-default-settings branch, and have xubuntu-default-settings take its place? | 23:04 |
| EvilResistance | remotely/ | 23:04 |
| EvilResistance | * | 23:04 |
| ScottL | EvilResistance, aye | 23:04 |
| EvilResistance | tumbleweed: read my interp. | 23:04 |
| ScottL | sorry, was helping wife with cooking dinner | 23:04 |
| EvilResistance | ScottL: remotely, or locally? | 23:04 |
| EvilResistance | (remotely such as on LP) | 23:04 |
| EvilResistance | (and locally meaning at your machine) | 23:04 |
| ScottL | sorry, helping with dinner again | 23:06 |
| ScottL | okay | 23:06 |
| ScottL | the bzr branch is hosted in launchpad | 23:06 |
| ScottL | i was checking out a version that i wanted to replace | 23:06 |
| ScottL | so it would be locally | 23:06 |
| ScottL | and then i would push back to lp | 23:06 |
| ScottL | EvilResistance, ^^^ | 23:07 |
| tumbleweed | if you are replacing it remotely, it really doesn't matter what you are doing locally | 23:07 |
| tumbleweed | you can push anything over anything else with push --overwrite | 23:07 |
| tumbleweed | (use with care, of course) | 23:07 |
| ScottL | tumbleweed, so i could not even use 'bzr branch' for the ubuntustudio-default-settings package? | 23:10 |
| tumbleweed | yes | 23:11 |
| ScottL | just 'apt-get source xubuntu-default-settings' ? | 23:11 |
| ScottL | bzr add | 23:11 |
| ScottL | commit and then push | 23:11 |
| ScottL | ? | 23:11 |
| ScottL | push meaning pushing to ubuntustudio-default-settings with --overwrite | 23:11 |
| tumbleweed | assuming you want to remove the entire history for the branch | 23:11 |
| ScottL | oh, not sure i want to do that actually | 23:12 |
| ScottL | i would feel more comfortable if i had something to fall back to | 23:12 |
| tumbleweed | so by "completly replace" you just mean "commit a new revision"? | 23:12 |
| * tumbleweed thinks he understands the question now | 23:13 | |
| tumbleweed | branch the existing branch, delete every file in it (but leave .bzr), add the stuff you want to replace it with, bzr add, commit | 23:13 |
| ScottL | yes, i would like to "commit a new revision" which would not include any of the old code, yes | 23:14 |
| ScottL | can i use 'bzr add' to add everything? | 23:14 |
| ScottL | or does it require a qualifier? | 23:14 |
| tumbleweed | no qualifier required | 23:15 |
| ScottL | very cool, thanks tumbleweed | 23:15 |
| ScottL | it was more or less like i thought it would be, but it makes me feel very, very much more comfortable to have it confirmed :) | 23:16 |
| tumbleweed | np | 23:16 |
| ScottL | although i thought that i would need to 'bzr remove' at least _something_ :? | 23:17 |
| tumbleweed | bzr assumes that files you've deleted should be deleted | 23:18 |
| ScottL | even better, wasn't sure about that | 23:28 |
| ScottL | thanks again tumbleweed and EvilResistance | 23:28 |
| psusi | what's the environment variable you set to get debian/rules to use make -j? | 23:33 |
| tumbleweed | DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. But the debian/rules needs to support it | 23:33 |
| tumbleweed | (dh has a --parallel option) | 23:34 |
| psusi | what do you set it to? | 23:34 |
| psusi | just DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=-j4 debian/rules binary? | 23:35 |
| tumbleweed | no | 23:35 |
| tumbleweed | http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html | 23:35 |
| psusi | ahh | 23:36 |
| psusi | pfft... silly kernel rules file told me to make mrproper before building... which then deleted the debian directory | 23:36 |
