[00:04] <ajmitch> tumbleweed: for some reason I can't clone your pypy git repository, it complains about HEAD referring to a nonexistent ref
[00:05] <tumbleweed> ajmitch: grumble
[00:06] <ajmitch> could be because I'm cloning with git+ssh, I just wanted to try it out & maybe help a bit with it :)
[00:06] <tumbleweed> no, it's a problem with the repo
[00:06] <ajmitch> http://paste.ubuntu.com/780466/
[00:07] <ajmitch> anyway, I'd like to help get it into shape when I can
[00:09] <tumbleweed> ah, no, there isn't a master branch, just debian
[00:09] <tumbleweed> it's fine
[00:09]  * tumbleweed hasn't found a git packaging workflow he likes yet
[00:10] <tumbleweed> this is a pretty boring layout
[00:10] <ajmitch> ok
[00:10]  * ajmitch will probably look at it after christmas
[00:11] <EvilResistance> so... nobody can diagnose whether or not my issue is a bug or an actual issue?
[00:14] <EvilResistance> hm must have been a random glitch.. reuploading it fixed the issue.
[00:14] <EvilResistance> nevermind
[00:42] <nixmaniack> i just created pbuilder base.tgz and now I want to create the cowbuilder base.cow, but i don't want to download the all packages again. Is it possible to tell cowbuilder to use already downloaded packages by pbuilder??
[03:13] <nixmaniack> how do I tell git-buildpackage to use cowbuilder instead of pbuilder?
[07:00] <Resistance> hmm
[07:00] <Resistance> if i wanted to backport debhelper as a build-dep for a package within a PPA, would it break anything if the target system, for build purposes, was using Lucid?
[14:54] <Resistance> is there a backported version of debhelper 8 that could be used to fix the builddeps for a package i'm trying to backport within a PPA?
[14:56] <Resistance> (looking for a Lucid backport)
[15:06] <Resistance> better question then...
[15:06] <Resistance> if i were to within a PPA backport debhelper (>=8.0.0) to Lucid, would I potentially run into any issues?
[15:08] <tumbleweed> best way to find out is to try . In my experience, debhelper is usually pretty easily backportable
[15:40] <Laney> ho ho ho
[15:49] <nigelb> Merry Christmas Laney :)
[15:53] <Laney> :-)
[15:54]  * Laney has now finished wrapping
[16:09]  * iulian too.
[20:44] <Resistance> anyone having issues with launchpad and stuff today?>
[20:44] <Resistance> i'm getting evil horrible lag
[20:46] <Ampelbein> All good here
[20:47] <iulian> Same here.
[20:48] <Resistance> hmm
[20:48] <Resistance> ah there's the issue...
[20:48] <Resistance> backportpackage is being evil and is having some issues downloading files to temp in prep. for backporting...
[20:48] <Resistance> so now i made a tempdir :P
[20:49] <Resistance> and told the thing to use that dir
[20:49] <Resistance> seems to have fixed the files-download problemn
[20:49] <Resistance> now if only the site itself wouldnt lag >.>
[20:49] <Resistance> seems time to reboot my router
[20:49] <Resistance> the monthly reboot time! :P
[21:03] <Resistance> so regarding debhelper... is there any chance that the version from oneiric can be officially backported to older versions of Ubuntu?  or no?
[21:32] <Resistance> does anybody know whether there's a backport of dpkg 1.16 or greater available for lucid?  its a build-dep for a package i'm trying to backport (lucid's version is 1.15.smth)
