[02:12] <stahlie> hello everyone...   I was following the instruction on launchpad  and  tried to make install kqrcode....got error on it
[02:12] <stahlie> missing header file ...not sure how to resolve that
[02:17] <stahlie> hmm...nobody is talking here
[02:19] <EvilResistance> yeah it sometimes gets quiet here
[09:26] <astraljava> stahlie: If you need a certain header file, it is usually provided by a certain -dev package, which you need to add as a build dependency.
[09:27] <astraljava> stahlie: Without more details, it is hard to say anything further.
[17:22] <achiang> i recently uploaded a brand new package in debian, and it landed in testing a few days ago. how long should i wait before i expect it to show up in ubuntu?
[17:22] <achiang> in precise, that is
[17:22] <Laney> hopefully a new-source run will be done before DIF
[17:23] <achiang> Laney: thanks
[17:24] <Zhenech_> whe? Debian import freeze is already on the 12th? dang
[17:39] <pdtpatrick> Question .. im trying to make a package and i've created a <package>.install file and a tmp/ which holds files and directories I want created. However I always get an error on debuild with regards to copying the folders. What's the best method to achieve this?
[17:40] <jtaylor> pdtpatrick: whats the error?
[17:42] <pdtpatrick> rm: cannot remove debian/tmp/directory/filename: Permission denied .. dh_clean rm -rf debian/tmp returned exit code 1
[17:42] <jtaylor> have you run debuild with root rights once?
[17:43] <pdtpatrick> i thought you just run debuild -S -sa without root permissions ? should i use sudo debuild -S -sa? won't lintian complain?
[17:44] <jtaylor> you should run it without
[17:44] <jtaylor> but when you don't ahve permissions then you probably ran it with root once by accident
[17:45] <pdtpatrick> in that case, do i have to start anew? or just delete the folder and ensure the folder is at least 664 to be able to traverse it?
[17:46] <jtaylor> yes try to delete it manually
[18:20] <pdtpatrick> Question .. debuild keeps complaining about secret key not available (gpg) .. do i need to export it in .bashrc to avoid this? if so can someone give me an example of their setup
[18:23] <jtaylor> put DEBSIGN_KEYID=... in .devscripts
[18:23] <pdtpatrick> just create a .devscripts file in ~ and add that one line?
[18:23] <jtaylor> yes
[18:24] <jtaylor> replace ... with your keyid of course
[18:24] <pdtpatrick> hehe thanks for clarifying that :)
[18:51] <pdtpatrick> jtaylor: here's the error i keep getting now
[18:51] <pdtpatrick> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/ZQd5TF2qLWrNLrJJNGdk/
[18:51] <pdtpatrick> this is after debuild -S ran just fine. I then run sudo pbuilder build <file>.dsc
[18:51] <pdtpatrick> and it yells at me
[18:51] <jtaylor> why is that file in root?
[18:52] <jtaylor> debian/tmp should mirror the layout of the installation
[18:52] <jtaylor> - package splitting and files not installed
[18:53] <jtaylor> how does the .install file look like?
[18:53] <pdtpatrick> sorry I do not follow. What's the preferred method and if you can give me an example of where to put the files. Are you saying it should be in debian/tmp/tmp ? since debian/tmp == root then /tmp/tmp would actually be /tmp ?
[18:54] <pdtpatrick> let me show you the .install
[18:54] <jtaylor> yes, but why would you install something to /tmp?
[18:56] <pdtpatrick> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/ZQd5TF2qLWrNLrJJNGdk/
[18:56] <pdtpatrick> i was using tmp to test .. and if it worked then i would recreate to the proper location
[18:57] <Resistance> why can't you just make the package and put it to the proper locations, then issue updates if it doesnt work?
[18:58] <Resistance> afaict, nobody uses /tmp for testing package installs
[18:58] <pdtpatrick> In that case - I got a question. So let's say i wanted a file in /data/www/location/ .. would that mean i would put the file in debian/tmp/data/www/location/<file> ? if so do i still need the .install file?
[18:59] <jtaylor> if you have more than one binary package yes
[18:59] <jtaylor> else no
[18:59] <pdtpatrick> no to both or just the .install file? sorry i'm trying to learn the proper way of doing things
[19:00] <jtaylor> the location would be correct
[19:00] <jtaylor> though data is no FHS path
[19:00] <jtaylor> so you should not do that
[19:01] <pdtpatrick> i c
[19:01] <pdtpatrick> cool let me try this again. You guys are very helpful.
[19:01] <pdtpatrick> there should be a video for this :)
[20:25] <jtaylor> udebs should not depend on non-udebs or?
[20:31] <Ampelbein> jtaylor: http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/ch03.html looks to me like non-udebs are allowed as Depends.
[20:34] <jtaylor> looks like it
