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