| Corey | I have a repository where git-buildpackage whines about not finding a source tarball no matter how I prod it-- the same git-buildpackage line works just fine in another git repository. Where should I look next? | 05:40 |

| alkisg | Hi, what should I do to avoid this error when requesting a recipe build? "Rejected: File ltsp_5.3.4+bzr2129~oneiric1.tar.gz already exists in PPA for Alkis Georgopoulos, but uploaded version has different contents. " | 06:09 |
| alkisg | I think that the recipe re-creates the orig.tar.gz from launchpad, and it uses a different timestamp, hence the problem, but I don't know how to avoid that. | 06:10 |

| vibhav | How Do I package a bash script ? | 06:34 |
| vibhav | also, while building packges, is "make all" executed? | 06:56 |
| === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan | ||
| === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away | ||
| geser | vibhav: as a bash script doesn't need compiling, you can skip the building part in debian/rules (empty target) and go directly to installing it | 07:32 |
| vibhav | geser: Does the rules have to be empty | 07:33 |
| geser | and it depends on your debian/rules if "make all" is executed or not. You might have to check if debhelper 9 calls it by default or not | 07:33 |
| geser | vibhav: only the target for building | 07:33 |
| vibhav | geser: Since I am a newbie at packaging, could you tell me the contents of the rules file? | 07:34 |
| geser | how did you generate the skeleton files for you packaging? with dh_make? | 07:35 |
| vibhav | geser: yeah | 07:35 |
| geser | then you probably got a compact debian/rules file (just a few lines) | 07:36 |
| vibhav | yes | 07:36 |
| vibhav | %: dh $@ | 07:37 |
| geser | for your bash script you probably just need to edit debian/package.install and don't worry about debian/rules (the compiling part is a no op in your case) | 07:37 |
| vibhav | what should be the contents of package.install then? | 07:41 |
| dholbach | good morning | 07:43 |
| ajmitch | morning dholbach | 07:45 |
| dholbach | hi ajmitch | 07:45 |
| broder | dholbach: morning | 07:48 |
| dholbach | hey broder | 07:48 |
| geser | vibhav: have you read the packaging guide? http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/, more precisely http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/debian-dir-overview.html#the-install-file | 07:49 |
| vibhav | hi dholbach | 07:52 |
| dholbach | hi vibhav | 07:53 |
| jokerdino | dholbach: prep for tmrw. | 07:55 |
| dholbach | jokerdino, yes - I'm currently doing a g+ hangout | 07:55 |
| dholbach | let's see how many people turn up :) | 07:55 |
| vibhav | whats tomorrow? | 07:55 |
| * ajmitch is tempted to join in | 07:55 | |
| jokerdino | fix it friday | 07:55 |
| vibhav | oh | 07:56 |
| dholbach | https://plus.google.com/hangouts/extras/talk.google.com/ubuntu-dev# if anyone is up for joining | 07:56 |
| vibhav | I forgot | 07:56 |
| broder | hmm, i should probably go to sleep instead of joining the hangout :) | 07:57 |
| jokerdino | i think that is a good idea | 07:57 |
| ajmitch | I'd better not have my mic on, it didn't go well last time :) | 07:57 |
| jokerdino | i have to install the voice plugin, hmm | 07:58 |
| jokerdino | i am turning my cam and mic off | 07:58 |
| vibhav | its fix-it friday with video and voice? | 07:58 |
| dholbach | vibhav, no, it's more of a Q&A session | 07:59 |
| vibhav | ok | 07:59 |
| broder | Laney, tumbleweed: you guys are generating recent entries in ubuntu_upload_history from lplib, right? is there a reason you guys don't include the lp id? | 08:01 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: tough crowd :) | 08:03 |
| broder | oh hmm, i'm guessing based on the file column that you're getting it from the mbox | 08:03 |
| === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan | ||
| jokerdino | yuck, network too slow | 08:10 |
| jokerdino | i am feeling that this g+ hangout is not working out too well for me | 08:10 |
| ajmitch | apart from a few sound issues, it seems to be working for me | 08:11 |
| jokerdino | We're sorry, the hangout looks to be jam-packed already. There's no more room! | 08:11 |
| jokerdino | :( | 08:11 |
| ajmitch | maxed at 10 people? | 08:11 |
| jokerdino | looks like it | 08:12 |
| FourDollars | out of space. | 08:12 |
| FourDollars | Hope Google can add more space in the future. | 08:12 |
| ajmitch | ok, I'll step out, next in queue can join | 08:13 |
| ajmitch | I'd hoped that the limit was higher than 10 these days | 08:13 |
| broder | i thought you could do 20 | 08:13 |
| broder | but i guess not | 08:14 |
| ajmitch | better to let people in who want to learn stuff :) | 08:14 |
| broder | we're actually down to 8 now | 08:14 |
| ajmitch | ok | 08:14 |
| * jokerdino gives up and gets to do something else. | 08:15 | |
| ajmitch | jokerdino: sorry it didn't work out, we can still help on irc if you have questions | 08:16 |
| jokerdino | the network here has some stability issues. | 08:17 |
| === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away | ||
| dholbach | thanks broder | 09:00 |
| broder | np :) | 09:00 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: how'd the hangout go? | 09:00 |
| dholbach | the good thing is - this is a fixed name hangout | 09:00 |
| ajmitch | bad thing is, 10 people max | 09:00 |
| dholbach | so we can always just use it and use the same url | 09:00 |
| dholbach | yes, we need to find a way to fix it - I'll investigate what we can do there :) | 09:00 |
| dholbach | I was constantly muting people, which I didn't want to do - I would have enjoyed everyone to speak upg | 09:01 |
| dholbach | up | 09:01 |
| ajmitch | sorry I didn't stick around to be put on the spot by you ;) | 09:01 |
| dholbach | but it would have been too time-consuming to fix everyone's mic problems :) | 09:01 |
| dholbach | haha | 09:01 |
| broder | ajmitch: ha! way to leave all of those for me :-P | 09:01 |
| dholbach | broder did a great job :) | 09:01 |
| ajmitch | broder: I'm glad you were there :) | 09:01 |
| dholbach | so yeah it was fun - I hope we see a lot of the folks again :) | 09:01 |
| * broder has lots of experience making things up on the spot :-P | 09:02 | |
| ajmitch | heh | 09:02 |
| ajmitch | I'll try & make it to another one if it's at the same time | 09:02 |
| ajmitch | assuming you want to make it a regular thing | 09:02 |
| broder | i will try harder to be asleep next time | 09:03 |
| ajmitch | heh | 09:03 |
| dholbach | haha, thanks again broder and ajmitch | 09:03 |
| dholbach | maybe it's http://google-plus.com/3587/google-hangouts-on-air-a-live-broadcast-feature-with-recording-to-youtube-launched-for-some-users/ we want | 09:03 |
| ajmitch | don't thank me, I just showed up briefly :) | 09:03 |
| * ajmitch had just finished another meeting on irc | 09:03 | |
| * plustwo really enjoy the hangout session. | 09:03 | |
| dholbach | hey plustwo - good to see you here :) | 09:04 |
| plustwo | :-) | 09:04 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: I think jono used that recently | 09:04 |
| dholbach | yeah - I never used it yet - I will investigate | 09:04 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: you probably qualify under 'large numbers of followers' :) | 09:05 |
| dholbach | hm, the problem with "hangout on air" is that there's no live-chat AFAICS | 09:05 |
| ajmitch | might be able to still use IRC if people are willing | 09:06 |
| dholbach | ajmitch, no - I don't think I have the rockstar genes | 09:06 |
| ajmitch | hah | 09:06 |
| ajmitch | you have that & more | 09:06 |
| ajmitch | isn't there a dholbach fanclub on launchpad? | 09:06 |
| dholbach | haha | 09:06 |
| * jalcine confirms ajmitch's suspicions, lol. | 09:07 | |
| jalcine | I remember having to extend my membership. | 09:07 |
| dholbach | hey jalcine | 09:07 |
| dholbach | I think I'll try to prepare a number of key points I want to mention and a few bug fixing examples for the next hangout | 09:07 |
| ajmitch | what did you cover in this one? | 09:08 |
| jalcine | o/ | 09:08 |
| ajmitch | I didn't get to see much | 09:08 |
| broder | spelling errors! :) | 09:08 |
| ajmitch | nice | 09:08 |
| broder | that's officially my new favorite task for new contributors | 09:08 |
| * ajmitch needs a faster SSD & more RAM | 09:08 | |
| ajmitch | firefox is going a bit slow while dist-upgrading | 09:09 |
| ajmitch | looks like I'm 7GB deep in swap, that won't help ;) | 09:09 |
| dholbach | broder, that was a great idea | 09:09 |
| dholbach | broder, what we can't find in bugs on our todo lists, we'll fill up with speling mistakes :) | 09:10 |
| broder | dholbach: i'm sure there are some other tags that are accessible, not sure what they are though | 09:10 |
| ajmitch | I'm sure there are *plenty* of bugs in precise still | 09:10 |
| ajmitch | it's just a matter of finding which are most important to tackle first | 09:10 |
| dholbach | maybe we can just reuse last time's etherpad and add a bunch of things on there | 09:11 |
| dholbach | and it's still in the topic, great :) | 09:11 |
| broder | ajmitch: i like the spelling errors (spelling-error-in-description in particular) because you can focus entirely on the process - how to write a changelog entry, how to forward a patch to debian | 09:11 |
| broder | then you can move onto other more advanced things once you've got those basics down | 09:12 |
| ajmitch | broder: that is helpful | 09:12 |
| broder | you can even do it incrementally - once you've done something from spelling-error-in-description, you can do spelling-error-in-binary and learn how to use quilt | 09:12 |
| dholbach | broder, we should probably talk to barry about PackagingGuide/Python | 09:13 |
| broder | dholbach: hmm, he's probably not going to be around much this week because of pycon | 09:13 |
| dholbach | ah yes of course | 09:14 |
| ajmitch | pycon would be a fun distraction | 09:15 |
| jokerdino | w00t, i am back. | 09:26 |

| dholbach | maybe from the rcbugs or resolved_upstream lits | 13:25 |
| dholbach | list | 13:25 |

| highvoltage | if I add a lubuntu theme to the ldm-themes package, would I need a UIFe for it? it doesn't have much impact on anything since it's just an additional, optional theme. | 14:07 |

| Laney | it was originally just what was in the changes emails, we just never thought to do it | 14:29 |

| tumbleweed | yeah | 14:30 |
| === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away | ||
| dholbach | alright, who wants to help add a few simple tasks to http://pad.ubuntu.com/OsSL8mOs2o for tomorrow? | 15:00 |
| jokerdino | well, just got to add them. | 15:02 |
| jokerdino | added one so far. | 15:02 |
| vibhav | dholbach: me | 15:13 |
| vibhav | ill mainly fix "Needs Packaging" bugs | 15:13 |
| dholbach | vibhav, that's great - but maybe more of a target for 12.10 - now that we're so far in the release cycle there will be more people fixing bugs than packaging/reviewing new stuff | 15:15 |
| dholbach | but don't let that discourage you :) | 15:16 |
| vibhav | Ill fix bugs fixed in upstream then | 15:16 |
| vibhav | Or review some patches | 15:16 |
| vibhav | dholbach: I dont know how to fix bugs, how can I help? | 15:16 |
| dholbach | I would recommend to check the docs about bug fixing again and maybe just for now fix a few typo bugs according to the instructions | 15:17 |
| dholbach | that might sound a bit dull, but I think it's a good start to get used to things | 15:17 |
| vibhav | typo bugs like? | 15:17 |
| jokerdino | vibhav: typo bugs like this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/936403 | 15:19 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 936403 in software-center (Ubuntu) "There is a typo in Ubuntu Software Center strings. (DVD drive)" [Low,Fix released] | 15:19 |
| jokerdino | not much right now, unfortunately. | 15:19 |
| jokerdino | i am trying to find some more easy to fix bugs, i will get them set up for tmrw | 15:20 |
| vibhav | I see | 15:20 |
| vibhav | Ive found 2 typo bugs till now | 15:26 |
| jokerdino | and? | 15:26 |
| vibhav | will try to fix them tomorrow | 15:27 |
| jokerdino | yeah, good luck | 15:28 |
| vibhav | thanks | 15:29 |
| dholbach | http://lintian.ubuntuwire.org/tags/spelling-error-in-description.html and http://lintian.ubuntuwire.org/tags/spelling-error-in-binary.html might be interesting | 15:29 |
| dholbach | sometimes it will be more suitable to submit those fixes upstream or in debian though | 15:29 |
| vibhav | But , then can I put those as contributions i the Etherpad? | 15:31 |
| vibhav | in* | 15:31 |
| jokerdino | dholbach: i received an email from Andrewsomething regarding developer experience, how do you guys track me down ?\ | 15:32 |
| dholbach | jokerdino, https://launchpad.net/~jokerdino/+related-software knows about your great work :) | 15:33 |
| jokerdino | dear lord | 15:33 |
| dholbach | mh? | 15:34 |
| jokerdino | i didn't know such a page existed | 15:34 |
| dholbach | also all uploads are announced on the <release>-changes mailing lists | 15:35 |
| jokerdino | yeah, i am subscribed to that mailing list. | 15:35 |
| dholbach | ie https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2012-March/thread.html | 15:35 |
| dholbach | cool :) | 15:36 |
| jokerdino | oh wait, that solves the puzzle | 15:36 |
| dholbach | jokerdino, good work | 15:36 |
| jokerdino | hah thanks again. | 15:36 |
| dholbach | alright, I just added a couple of easy tasks to http://pad.ubuntu.com/OsSL8mOs2o for tomorrow - it'd be nice if some of you would help adding a few more | 15:49 |
| dholbach | anyone interested in joining the ubuntu dev hangout? https://plus.google.com/hangouts/extras/talk.google.com/ubuntu-dev# | 16:10 |
| vibhav | I certainly could but my webcam is broken :( | 16:10 |
| dholbach | you can still join :) | 16:11 |
| vibhav | ill certainly try then | 16:12 |
| dholbach | broder, I managed to pick a bunch of things off the resolved-upstream list for tomorrow | 16:57 |
| dholbach | if you look past the desktop related ones, there's a lot of good stuff in there | 16:57 |
| dholbach | I will have to run to get a train in a bit, but whatever you (and others) can't add to the pad, I will try to add tomorrow morning | 16:58 |
| broder | cool | 16:58 |
| jtaylor | how likely are upgrade failures due to missing pre-depends for xz? | 18:07 |
| jtaylor | are they needed for universe packages? or will it be handled by the existing pre-depends in the main packages? | 18:07 |
| micahg | jtaylor: it's an archive level check, any package using binary xz packages needs the pre-depends in precise and earlier | 18:11 |
| jtaylor | is there an existing list of universe packages in need of fixing? | 18:12 |
| broder | i think they're automatically rejected by lp | 18:12 |
| jtaylor | no | 18:12 |
| broder | http://lintian.ubuntuwire.org/tags/data.tar.xz-member-without-dpkg-pre-depends.html | 18:12 |
| jtaylor | or maybe yes | 18:13 |
| jtaylor | I just checked the package I noted before and I must have overlooked the pre-depends there | 18:13 |
| Corey | I have a repository where git-buildpackage whines about not finding a source tarball no matter how I prod it-- the same git-buildpackage line works just fine in another git repository. Where should I look next? (Presumably in the debian directory, but where?) | 19:22 |
| jtaylor | have you checked the tags and the pristine tar branch? | 19:25 |
| jtaylor | worst case put a tarball in ../ or ../tarballs | 19:25 |
| Corey | jtaylor: Do I need to actually push a pristine-tar branch to upstream? I'm not quite clear on the concept. :-) | 19:27 |
| jtaylor | to upstream? | 19:27 |
| Corey | I've built both git trees, and both packages-- one works, one doesn't same exact command line on both. | 19:27 |
| Corey | jtaylor: The git project in question lives on github, or in this case upstream / origin. | 19:28 |
| jtaylor | you should push the pristine branch to the origin | 19:28 |
| Corey | The end result I'm striving for is "every git commit causes Jenkins to build a new deb, versioned with the git hash" | 19:29 |
| jtaylor | but if its there locally that won'T help with the problem | 19:29 |
| Corey | jtaylor: And how does pristine-tar relate to master? | 19:29 |
| jtaylor | not at all, it contains information to construct the original tarball from the upstream branch | 19:29 |
| jtaylor | upstream != origin | 19:30 |
| Corey | jtaylor: Okay, perhaps a better question-- what lives in pristine-tar? :-) | 19:30 |
| jtaylor | git-import-orig --pristine should create pristine-tar and upstream branch | 19:30 |
| jtaylor | a delta file and an id per version | 19:30 |
| Corey | Usage: git-import-orig [-u version] /path/to/upstream-version.tar.gz <-- so I need to create that by hand for the first time? | 19:31 |
| jtaylor | yes without a tarball no pristine-tar | 19:32 |
| Corey | Hmm. | 19:36 |
| Corey | I think I'm in a cart-before-horse situation. | 19:36 |
| Corey | http://lpenz.github.com/articles/debgit/index.html seems to explain the workflow. | 19:39 |
| Corey | There's no make-dist. I should fix that. | 19:41 |
| dupondje | Hmz, any idea on a command/function to get the type of a partition ? | 20:32 |
| Zhenech | file | 20:34 |
| Zhenech | like `sudo file -s /dev/sda1` @ dupondje | 20:35 |
| Zhenech | or do you mean type as in whats written in the parition table? | 20:35 |
| Zhenech | then `sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda` | 20:36 |
| dupondje | Zhenech: need indeed the partition table type | 20:40 |
| dupondje | but depending on fdisk is bit annoying no ? :) | 20:41 |
| dupondje | to just read the partition type | 20:41 |
