| Q-FUNK | seems that one new package I had uploaded was rejected, except that there was no explanation other than "rejected by archive admin". what next? | 04:37 |
|---|---|---|
| Q-FUNK | "rejected by archive administrator" is not a helpful message at all. | 04:41 |
| ScottK | What package? | 04:49 |
| ScottK | (The AA that rejects it is supposed to mail you with the details) | 04:49 |
| Q-FUNK | I don't mind the package being rejected per-se, but it would be useful to know why, so that I can fix it. | 04:49 |
| Q-FUNK | libdigidoc (2.7.0-0ubuntu1) precise; | 04:50 |
| ScottK | Q-FUNK: Did you upload it more than once? There's still a copy in New: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+queue?queue_state=0&queue_text=libdigidoc | 04:54 |
| Q-FUNK | ScottK: not that I recall, but it's possible that I inadvertently did so while intending to upload a copy to our team's PPA. | 04:56 |
| ScottK | My guess is someone saw two copies in queue and rejected the older one just to clean things up. | 04:57 |
| Q-FUNK | ScottK: that reminds me, is there a policy for setting Maintainers to a LP team? Ideally, the contact address for this would be ~esteid as a team, not just myself personally. | 04:57 |
| ScottK | Maintainer needs to be an *buntu.com address. | 04:58 |
| ScottK | An LP team in launchpad.net doesn't cover it. | 04:58 |
| Q-FUNK | ScottK: ok, that might be the reason. It just wasn't indicated, so it's hard for me to guess. | 04:58 |
| ScottK | XSB-Original-Maintainer can be anything. | 04:59 |
| Q-FUNK | alright. I guess I'll have to be the official maintainer on behalf of the team... ;) | 04:59 |
| ScottK | You can make ubuntu-developers maintainer | 04:59 |
| Q-FUNK | right, that one can indeed be anything, but LP teams don't necessarily have any external e-mail, correct? | 04:59 |
| ScottK | There's no rule like for Debian where someone in Maintainer/Uploaders needs to be an actual live person. | 05:00 |
| ScottK | That's true, but you can get mailing list. | 05:00 |
| Q-FUNK | True, and it could make sense for us to have such a list. How do we apply for one? | 05:00 |
| Q-FUNK | Then, we could set that list as our PPA team's contact, too. | 05:01 |
| ScottK | It's in the LP U/I somewhere. | 05:01 |
| Q-FUNK | ok. I'll check. | 05:01 |
| Q-FUNK | Thanks for the idea! | 05:01 |
| Q-FUNK | ScottK: btw, would you happen to know how often new packages get checked? We have a suite of 6 packages that need to get into Precise to provide support for the national Estonian ID card, the added to Estonian language dependencies. | 05:03 |
| Q-FUNK | ScottK: the first one of these (smartcardpp) finally cleared binary-new today. | 05:03 |
| ScottK | It's irregular. | 05:06 |
| ScottK | All the archive admins also have other duties. | 05:06 |
| ScottK | Anything that's uploaded before feature freeze will get in though. | 05:06 |
| Q-FUNK | ok | 05:06 |
| Q-FUNK | It was all uploaded earlier this week, pending approval and eventually landing in dep-wait. | 05:08 |

| Kano | hi, just tested cloudprint 0.5 deb, it misses one depend: python-pkg-resources | 13:29 |
| jtaylor | Kano: which distribution? | 13:32 |
| Kano | both, the same file anyway for oneric/precise | 13:33 |
| jtaylor | nevermind, oneiric | 13:33 |
| jtaylor | it works in precise | 13:33 |
| Kano | sure, but only because python-pkg-resources was preinstalled | 13:33 |
| jtaylor | clean chroot | 13:33 |
| jtaylor | probably some of its depends pulls it in | 13:34 |
| Kano | that a script only | 13:34 |
| Kano | no automatic depend detection | 13:34 |
| Kano | tested it on squeeze and found that | 13:34 |
| jtaylor | of course a script will not pull dependencies | 13:35 |
| jtaylor | you need a package for that | 13:35 |
| tumbleweed | it's common for packages to miss dependencies on python-pkg-resources, because that has to be explicitly stated | 13:36 |
| jtaylor | unless you use dh_python2 and it has a correct requires.txt | 13:36 |
| jtaylor | that will convert setuptool dependency into a pkg-resources one | 13:37 |
| Kano | feel free to change it the way it works correct | 13:40 |
| jtaylor | someone familiar with ocaml here? | 13:42 |
| Kano | bye | 13:43 |
| l3on | Hey guys... someone here can remove condor and classads from precise ? | 14:27 |
| l3on | classads has been removed from debian because is now in condor | 14:27 |
| l3on | current condor version in ubuntu requires classads as dep, but it does not exist | 14:28 |
| jtaylor | file a bug and subscribe ubuntu-archive | 14:28 |
| l3on | ok, I'm going | 14:28 |
| jtaylor | + sponsors if needed | 14:28 |
| l3on | thanks :) | 14:28 |
| jtaylor | though if its removed from debian some script should remove it automatically | 14:29 |
| jtaylor | I think | 14:29 |
| l3on | ah no ok, classads is not in precise | 14:29 |
| Weasley | hi, i have a packaging related question | 14:30 |
| Weasley | if i want to fork a package, can i use quilt to patch files inside the debian directory, eg. the rules file or the control file? | 14:30 |
| jtaylor | it might work, but you should not do that | 14:31 |
| jtaylor | just use a VCS | 14:31 |
| jtaylor | why do you want to fork a package? | 14:32 |
| l3on | jtaylor, bug 919671 - thanks :) | 14:32 |

| jtaylor | l3on: so condor is uninstallable? | 14:33 |
| l3on | jtaylor, yep... it's need a new version... I tried to upgrade it, but I should spend to much time to well understand how condor works | 14:33 |
| l3on | jtaylor, bug 518848 | 14:34 |

| jtaylor | have you spoken to the guy you uploaded condor? | 14:35 |
| l3on | jtaylor, yep | 14:36 |
| l3on | I sent him an email 4 days ago... still waiting for a reply | 14:36 |
| jtaylor | he wants it removed too? | 14:36 |
| l3on | I dind't talk about removal... | 14:36 |
| l3on | just about new release and depends problem | 14:36 |
| jtaylor | the remove reason is: ROM; No longer released separately, moved to different source package | 14:37 |
| jtaylor | can't the new package be used? | 14:37 |
| l3on | jtaylor, of course | 14:37 |
| l3on | if someone starts to work | 14:37 |
| l3on | I tried, but it seems not too much simple | 14:37 |
| l3on | jtaylor, would you sponsor a merge for me ? :) | 14:47 |
| jtaylor | which one? | 14:48 |
| l3on | shogun | 14:49 |
| l3on | bug 914523 | 14:49 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 914523 in shogun (Ubuntu) "Please merge shogun 1.1.0-1 (universe) from Debian unstable " [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/914523 | 14:49 |
| jtaylor | thats not nice Add mono-gmcs as build-depends to fix FTBFS | 14:51 |
| jtaylor | it should use the default | 14:52 |
| l3on | in configure.ac it looks for gmcs | 14:53 |
| * Laney eyes this package | 14:53 | |
| Laney | no clideps? | 14:53 |
| jtaylor | nope .. | 14:53 |
| l3on | configure:if gmcs --version >/dev/null 2>&1 | 14:53 |
| Laney | it should use mono-csc | 14:53 |
| Laney | patch it if necessary | 14:54 |
| jtaylor | hm ahs the hdf5 transition in deiban started already? | 14:54 |
| Laney | http://release.debian.org/transitions/ | 14:54 |
| l3on | So... what I would do? | 14:54 |
| l3on | try to replace gmcs with mono-csc ? | 14:54 |
| jtaylor | first file an RC bug in debian | 14:54 |
| jtaylor | hm where's my template | 14:55 |
| l3on | debian does not have this problem, cause they have mono-gmcs as depends in mono-devel | 14:55 |
| jtaylor | not anymore | 14:55 |
| jtaylor | I'll file the debian bugs | 14:56 |
| l3on | jtaylor, mmm http://packages.debian.org/sid/mono-2.0-devel | 14:56 |
| Laney | it didn't even come on our transition radar because the dependencies are wrong | 14:56 |
| jtaylor | they are RC, so will hopefully be fixed soon, then we look at the merge again | 14:56 |
| Laney | fancy asking antlr and zeroc-ice to rebuild? | 14:57 |
| jtaylor | me? in debian? why? | 14:57 |
| Laney | i pinged #debian-java on irc but no response | 14:57 |
| Laney | because you're filing bugs :P | 14:57 |
| Laney | i'll do it later if yo udon't want to | 14:57 |
| jtaylor | if you tell me the reason I can do it | 14:57 |
| jtaylor | just rebuildonly? | 14:58 |
| Laney | they have mono bindings | 14:58 |
| l3on | I'm not following you :P | 14:59 |
| l3on | shogun has mono-2.0-devel as build-dep, which has mono-gmcs as dep | 15:00 |
| l3on | so, it works | 15:00 |
| jtaylor | thats most likely wrong | 15:00 |
| l3on | jtaylor, ah ok, can you file the bug ? | 15:00 |
| jtaylor | yes | 15:00 |
| l3on | thanks, please CC me :P | 15:01 |
| l3on | ok.. and then .. let's go on with paprefs :D | 15:01 |
| jtaylor | Laney: I can copy pasted your coco-cs mail? | 15:07 |
| jtaylor | l3on: debian bug 656756, 656757 | 15:09 |
| ubottu | Error: Debian bug 656757 could not be found | 15:09 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 656756 in shogun "shogun: Please use debians default csharp compiler" [Serious,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/656756 | 15:09 |
| l3on | jtaylor, thanks :D | 15:10 |
| l3on | if you're free... paprefs seems ready too | 15:10 |
| l3on | note that I updated dsc to althiot, waiting for a sponsor there. Maintainer also hasn't yet replied me after some days. | 15:12 |
| jtaylor | Laney: bugs filed | 15:14 |
| Laney | jtaylor: thanks, and yeah that's what I would do | 15:36 |
| jtaylor | siretart: ups did not see your message on the mplayer bug | 17:47 |
| jtaylor | I synced the version from debian almost-testing, it fixes the issue | 17:48 |
| siretart | jtaylor: what version did you sync? the one from unstable? | 17:56 |
| jtaylor | yes | 17:56 |
| siretart | okay, then please just close the bug. I would have done exactly the same :-) | 17:57 |
| jtaylor | already done | 17:57 |
| jtaylor | sorry I forgot to assign myself | 17:57 |
| siretart | no problem | 17:58 |
| antoniu | I'm having trouble packaging something into a deb file, can anyone help me out | 22:48 |
| jmarsden | antoniu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete | 22:52 |
| antoniu | well here's the thing I am able to package it and when I upload it to the ppa it builds successfully, however it's a dkms package that contains a post add script, I made sure to make the script executable but when I install the deb it says the script isn't executable | 22:57 |
| antoniu | however I packaged it using dkms | 22:58 |
| Corey | If I have a .install file that I'm trying to place a templated config file in, can I have .install rename the file as well? | 23:53 |
| jtaylor | no | 23:54 |
| directhex | debian/install cannot rename files | 23:54 |
| Corey | Then what's the proper way to have a file renamed during package creation from a tarball? | 23:56 |
| jtaylor | use mv in rules | 23:57 |
| Corey | jtaylor: And that'll take effect after the file is copied into place? | 23:57 |
| directhex | it'll take place at the point you put it in in your rules file | 23:58 |
| directhex | i.e. if it happens before dh_install it'll happen then. after -> after | 23:58 |
| Corey | Hm, there's no dh_install in my rules file. | 23:58 |
| Corey | is there a dh_postinstall? | 23:58 |
| jtaylor | you can override it | 23:59 |
| jtaylor | override_dh_install: | 23:59 |
| jtaylor | dh_install | 23:59 |
| jtaylor | #do more stuff | 23:59 |
| jtaylor | assuming a dh-7 like package | 23:59 |
