[01:30] <nigelb> wgrant: You never know :D
[20:05] <Corey> Howdy.  I'm trying to understand why I get a failure message on upload (specifically that the Changes file must be signed with a valid GPG signature), yet... it built my package anyway.
[20:06] <Ampelbein> Corey: Known issue. bug 798957
[20:06] <Corey> Ampelbein: Ahhh...
[20:06] <Corey> I was tearing my hair out over that.  Thanks. :-)
[20:21] <Corey> File zeromq_2.1.10.orig.tar.gz already exists in Primary Archive for Ubuntu, but uploaded version has different contents. <-- Hmm, hitting that issue for a few packages.
[20:21] <Corey> Even after I removed the original from the upload.
[20:25] <Corey> The canonically correct solution is: downloading the pristine original tarball from the location pointed in the rejection message;, but I'm not sure where that would live. :-)
[20:28] <micahg> Corey: pull-lp-source zeromq will get you that tarball
[20:28] <Corey> micahg: Ah, thanks!
[20:28] <micahg> it's in precise ATM
[20:28] <Corey> micahg: Understood, thanks.
[20:30] <Corey> micahg: After that, same error, and the orig is never uploaded.
[20:31] <Corey> Ah, I think I have to rebuild.
[20:31] <micahg> Corey: you want to create the source with debuild -S -sd
[20:32] <Corey> micahg: The man page doesn't say what -s does.
[20:33] <micahg> Corey: -sd is a flag passed to dpkg-buildpackage which uploads the .diff and .dsc only
[20:34] <Corey> micahg: And this is all based on a gzip timestamp?
[20:34] <micahg> no
[20:34] <Corey> micahg: I did this procedure for a few packages, half of them "just worked" the rest keep whining about orig.tar.gz not being the same.
[20:36] <micahg> ah, that's your question :), the .orig.tar.gz check is based off of the md5sum I believe
[20:36] <Corey> micahg: Hmm.  So the procedure I've been doing is more or less  apt-get source sourcename; cd package-name; debuild -S; dput PPA packagename.changes
[20:37] <Corey> Should I replace apt-get sourcename with pull-lp-sources?
[20:37] <micahg> Corey: yeah, you want debuild -S -sd unless you're adding a new upstream
[20:37] <Corey> micahg: The entire goal here is "I don't want to have to install five PPAs for this package to work, I want to source it out of one repository."
[20:40] <micahg> Corey: let's move to #ubuntu-packaging
[21:38] <Corey> Is there a "correct" way to copy a PPA for the scenario of "I want to have a testing repository but the PPA itself should only have the stable version in it?"
[21:38] <Corey> I don't know if branching a repository works, or if I should duplicate it.
[21:40] <micahg> Corey: there is a copy packages link on the +packages page of the PPA
[21:45] <Corey> micahg: That... would have been a lot easier than rebuilding all of them. :-)
[22:22] <broder> what am i supposed to do if i get an oops loading a bug page? do i just open a bug against launchpad with the oops identifier?
[22:22] <broder> oh i see, it has a massive number of duplicates
