| Alison_Chaiken | Greetings all. I uploaded tarballs for a package I created to oneiric on launchpad. | 01:09 |
|---|---|---|
| Alison_Chaiken | They didn't build, so newb that I am, I deleted all the files that I created and started over. | 01:09 |
| Alison_Chaiken | Now when I try to upload a new version, I get the message "foo-1.0.debian.tar.gz already exists but uploaded version has different contents." | 01:10 |
| Alison_Chaiken | So I went to launchpad and deleted package foo from the PPA and tried again. | 01:11 |
| Alison_Chaiken | Unfortunately I get the same error message and am not sure what to do. | 01:11 |
| Alison_Chaiken | Maybe I can just manually bump the version number of my package and all will be well? | 01:12 |
| Alison_Chaiken | I guess that those tarballs, once created, should never be touched by the user? | 01:13 |
| micahg | Alison_Chaiken: you cannot upload the same revision twice, you'll want to bump the Debian revision of the package for subsequent uploads of the same original tarball | 01:18 |
| Alison_Chaiken | I can just find one of the debian/* files that has a counter in it and increment it? Or just "touch" one of the package files to generate a new revision? | 01:19 |
| micahg | Alison_Chaiken: it comes from debian/changelog | 01:19 |
| Alison_Chaiken | Very good, then, I will edit that file and bump the revision. I take it that in fact, I should never delete those tarballs in the parent directory once they're created, as this kind of problem always results? | 01:20 |
| micahg | the "upstream" tarballs, should really be upstream releases if possible, so they're only generated once | 01:22 |
| micahg | if there is no upstream release, you probably want a native package (i.e. debian/source/format contains 3.0 (native)) | 01:22 |
| Alison_Chaiken | Very good, micahg, I appreciate your help! | 01:22 |
| Alison_Chaiken | Yes, I think I have a native package format. Should that format suppress this problem? | 01:23 |
| micahg | Alison_Chaiken: here's package versioning explained in the Debian policy manual: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version | 01:24 |
| Alison_Chaiken | Thanks again, micahg, I'll go RTFM. | 01:24 |

| Resistance | is there a way to force the downgrade of a package? i'm implementing (on one of my systems) a fork of a program that exists in another PPA I have, but the PPA that is currently implemented has a higher version number. How can I tell the thing to use the older version of the package (sitting in another PPA, given that I removed the PPA with the higher version from apt sources)? | 02:58 |
| lifeless | Resistance: apt-get install foo=version | 07:30 |
| lifeless | Resistance: or use synaptic or aptitude | 07:31 |

| artfwo | cyphermox, are you around? | 14:11 |
| cyphermox | artfwo: yup | 14:11 |
| artfwo | cyphermox, i resubmitted the merge proposal with fix for bug 910736, but now this results in a huge diff of 114042 lines | 14:12 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 910736 in modemmanager (Ubuntu) "Add ignore rule for Arduino to udev blacklist" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/910736 | 14:12 |
| cyphermox | yes | 14:13 |
| cyphermox | that's because all there is in ~modemmanager is a debian/ directory | 14:13 |
| cyphermox | but I'll just take the debdiff and apply that, it will be simpler | 14:13 |
| artfwo | ah, so that's ready for sponsoring now? | 14:13 |
| cyphermox | artfwo: let me check | 14:20 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| artfwo | cyphermox, i have attached an old-style debdiff to the original bug report, that doesn't touch files outside of debian/ just in case | 15:09 |
| artfwo | previous debdiffs done with bzr diff -rbranch had patches applied, 'cause the patches were applied in the packaging branch too | 15:10 |

| jtaylor | tumbleweed, ScottK: can you to apply the patch in bug 910922 to debian via team upload? would save a delta | 18:03 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 910922 in pyparsing (Ubuntu) "switch to dh_python2" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/910922 | 18:03 |
| jtaylor | checked that patch, still works fine | 18:08 |
| tumbleweed | jtaylor: it's preferable to run changes like that past the package maintainer (although it doesn't look like he's maintaining that one very actively) | 18:57 |
| ScottK | jtaylor: When DPMT is just in uploaders, stuff like that should really be done by the maintainer. I'd email him. | 19:02 |
| jtaylor | k | 19:16 |
| jtaylor | what happend here oO https://launchpadlibrarian.net/88930822/buildlog_ubuntu-oneiric-armel.libqxt_0.6.1-3ubuntu1.1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz | 19:17 |
| jtaylor | it worked in precise | 19:17 |
| psusi | is there someone around who can update ubotu? his raid factoid points to the lvm howto on tldp.org... the one on the ubuntu wiki may be more appropriate | 19:46 |
| Laney | we should put syncpackage on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/New | 19:56 |
| Laney | and "read your changesfiles" | 19:56 |
| Laney | by "we" i mean "not me" | 19:57 |
| * Laney runs away really fast | 19:57 | |
| broder | Laney: huh, i've never seen that wiki page before | 20:36 |
| * micahg has to remember to add a note about dch multi-maintainer mode (-m) | 20:39 | |
| Laney | :-) | 21:07 |
| Laney | well done new devs | 21:08 |
| broder | is poppy the sftp upload interface, or something else? | 21:09 |
| broder | (i'm trying to figure out how the backports pocket *actually* works right now) | 21:10 |
| tumbleweed | IIRC it's the upload receiver (sftp or ftp) | 21:14 |
| broder | ok, good. so that would be the code path i want to be tracking down | 21:14 |
| Resistance | can someone reset the sftp on launchpad's ppa uploaders, its constantly throwing those errors saying Upload denied, when in fact it is actually uploading | 21:55 |
| micahg | Resistance: that's a known bug that I thought I've given you the number to | 21:58 |
| Resistance | i have the bug info | 21:58 |
| Resistance | but is there a way to stop it throwing the errors every upload? | 21:58 |
| Resistance | i know its intermittent, but meh | 21:58 |
| Laney | it's server side | 22:02 |
| Laney | so not much you, or we, can do about it unfortunately | 22:02 |
| Resistance | bleh | 22:07 |
| Resistance | *looks at the bug* | 22:07 |
| Resistance | looks like someone had some branch or something included on that bug... a related branch... | 22:08 |
| Resistance | i take it there's still no resolution at this time? | 22:08 |
| Laney | you'd be better off asking in #launchpad, but if there were news i would expect it to be on the bug | 22:13 |
| Resistance | yeah i'm subscribed to the bug | 22:14 |
| Resistance | :p | 22:14 |
| Resistance | someone just posted saying it also happens to them, although i dont think we need any more of those comments :P | 22:14 |
| chrisccoulson | it's also seriously annoying, because it makes it look like all of my automated uploads are failing | 22:16 |
| chrisccoulson | when they aren't ;) | 22:16 |
| Resistance | mhm | 22:23 |
