| BigWhale | Who decides which application will be included in the official repository? And if it is too late to get something into Pangolin repository? | 14:59 |
|---|---|---|
| bjsnider | no it isn't | 15:01 |
| dobey | BigWhale: it's a concerted effort; and it's not too late yet. feature freeze is a bit off still, but earlier is better | 15:04 |
| BigWhale | Cool. Thanks for the info. | 15:05 |
| BigWhale | I'll try to pull it off. | 15:12 |
| BigWhale | If I get all the required permissions from previous author. | 15:13 |
| dobey | BigWhale: what is it? | 15:23 |
| BigWhale | This https://launchpad.net/kazam | 15:23 |
| dobey | ah ok | 15:32 |
| BigWhale | dobey, people actually liked the app, OMG also ran an article on it and I did some work to replace ffmpeg with gstreamer, the author decided he won't continue the work, so ... | 15:35 |
| bjsnider | BigWhale, so it's dead? | 16:06 |
| BigWhale | You're name probably isn't Jim... but ... It's dead Jim. | 16:07 |
| BigWhale | (comma missing there) | 16:07 |
| bjsnider | why should it be included in precise if it's dead? | 16:07 |
| BigWhale | bjsnider, I emailed original author today asking him if I can get permissions for Launchpad so that I can pick it up. | 16:08 |
| bjsnider | i see | 16:08 |
| BigWhale | bjsnider, I'd like to work on it | 16:08 |
| BigWhale | and continue maintaining it. | 16:08 |
| bjsnider | you have the programming acumen to handle it? | 16:09 |
| bjsnider | of course if he doesn't give you permission you can just fork it | 16:10 |
| BigWhale | bjsnider, I believe so. For precise I'd just patch things up so it would work. Then I'd like to rewrite GUI in Vala. | 16:12 |
| BigWhale | And I'd prefer not to fork it. Sometimes it just creates confusion. | 16:19 |
| BigWhale | docs on ppa versioning are a bit confusing | 18:46 |
| dobey | BigWhale: what sort of package are you trying to version in your ppa? | 18:47 |
| BigWhale | well not exactly confusing, I can understand why and what I have to change, just not sure where... :> | 18:48 |
| BigWhale | dobey, I'm trying to package fixed Kazam into a ppa | 18:48 |
| dobey | are you building nightlies, or a plain debian package? | 18:48 |
| BigWhale | just a deb package, no need for nightlies for now | 18:49 |
| BigWhale | oh changelog | 18:50 |
| dobey | yes, changelog | 18:51 |
| BigWhale | Denied, rejected!? Oh my gawd! :'( | 19:04 |
| BigWhale | :> | 19:04 |
| BigWhale | Perhaps it doesn't like that I changed my GPG key just recently ... | 19:07 |
| BigWhale | hmm, two files were acceted, but .changes file was rejected ... | 19:11 |
| dobey | ignore those errors | 19:13 |
| BigWhale | yeah I noticed that package was uploaded and it is being built | 19:14 |
| BigWhale | this auto build is really neat | 19:14 |
| BigWhale | Package built, app is installable, ppa is working, app is working, pushing changes ... yay. | 19:25 |
| bjsnider | BigWhale, just slap ~ppa1 or something on the end of the version string in changelog | 19:42 |
| BigWhale | bjsnider, I just added ppa1 to the end, docs didn't say anything about ~ :> | 19:55 |
| dobey | yes they do | 20:18 |
| dobey | but really it should be $UPSTREAM_VERSION-$NEXT_DEBIAN_VERSION~$SERIES(N) | 20:19 |
| dobey | so 0.0.0-0ubuntu2~oneiric1 for example | 20:19 |
| BigWhale | there must be many docs | 20:19 |
| BigWhale | many different docs | 20:20 |
| BigWhale | https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/BuildingASourcePackage#versioning | 20:20 |
| BigWhale | here's where I looked | 20:20 |
| dobey | oh, it has two different sets of versioning recommendations, which both pretty much suck | 20:20 |
| dobey | :-/ | 20:20 |
| BigWhale | It says that I should add ~oneiric1 ... | 20:21 |
| BigWhale | after the ppa1 | 20:21 |
| dobey | ah yes, it also says that | 20:21 |
| dobey | but the ppa1 in there is just bad :-/ | 20:21 |
| BigWhale | I followed this example: "To do this, add the suffix ppan (where n is your package's revision number). Two examples: " | 20:22 |
| BigWhale | but I'll change to whatever it is supposed to be. :) | 20:22 |
| dobey | i think someone needs to fix the docs | 20:23 |
