tumbleweedblueyed: the tests are mocking out urllib calls. They'll need to be extended to mock the stuff you added08:40
tumbleweedblueyed: although, arguably, if we now have proxy support, we can avoid a lot of mocking and provide an HTTP proxy instead08:44
vibhavIs the pad down?09:07

sladenvibhav: it's not responding for me either ( http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/ )09:21
sladenvibhav: however, the good question is how would be able to fix that, and unfortunately I'm not sure09:21
vibhavsladen: Isnt there any backup for it09:22

Pikkachuwhy wouldn't ./configure && make work for a package fetched through apt-get source?13:55
Zhenechit would, most of the time, what's the real question? :)13:56
Laneyyou don't have the build deps installed / not all packages are built like that / some patches need to be applied / some options need to be passed to the build system13:57
Pikkachualso, iirc upstream docs say to use apt-get build-dep for getting build dependencies, but the most up-to-date upstream version is not available and I have no idea where to start for having the correct build dep, because the local one does not work13:57
PikkachuZhenech: the question is real, the error was iirc something like missing .Tpo files. I think I'm asking because I wasted many hours in poor docs13:58
PikkachuLaney: first option, no13:59
PikkachuLaney: second, how so?13:59
Laneybasically I am saying that you should be more specific if you want any chance of getting reasonable help, the same as Zhenech did.13:59
PikkachuLaney: third, how so?13:59
PikkachuI am fine14:00
PikkachuI was just curious, because docs are poor the reason why I wasted so many hours with no one knowing what to do except trying to look cool14:00
ZhenechPikkachu, as upstream packages *usually* do not gain additional build-deps, it's usually safe to do a apt-get build-dep on the old package14:01
Zhenechand the use that as a "start"14:01
Laneyattempting to insult the people who you're asking for help isn't going to get you very far14:01
PikkachuLaney: it's you who's including yourself in the group14:01
PikkachuI don't really remember talking with 'Laney' in that long hours of pain14:02

ZhenechPikkachu, do you have a build log resulting in an error?14:03
PikkachuZhenech: I had while I was trying to fix the problem, but not anymore.14:05
PikkachuZhenech: let me be clear as this may get confusing, I was curious about two separate things...14:06
PikkachuZhenech: 1. how c&m would fail for an apt-get source pkg (ok it may fail and you should debuild or like, just curious because the error was crazy and far away from "you should debuild instead")14:08
ZhenechPikkachu, if you c&m in the unpacked ubuntu source, it may have patches, that result in failing when not used with the rest of the build system14:09
Zhenechor you might miss patches (pre 3.0 packages) which are needed to build on recent ubuntu14:09
Zhenechor the default configure wants to do something that is not in the build-deps, because it's disabled in debian/rules14:10
Zhenechor …14:10
Zhenechplenty of possibilities14:10
Zhenechbut I'd say it should work in most of the cases14:10
PikkachuZhenech: 2. how to figure out the right deps for c&m'ing a source upstream tarball for which there's no corresponding package (local one is outdated version). I think build-dep is a big start but the error message was not self-guiding to me (something crazy like letter P unknown or like...)14:11
PikkachuZhenech: thanks for clarification about (1)14:12
ZhenechPikkachu, w/o the real error message, no idea14:13
Zhenechbest poke upstream?14:13
PikkachuZhenech: ok...14:15
tumbleweedPikkachu: please be more respectful towards people who are trying to help you.14:16
Pikkachuquote me where I disrespected14:17
Pikkachuplease14:17
tumbleweedPikkachu: I really don't want to have to14:17
Pikkachuand I really don't care, but operators always have the last word14:18

jtayloranyone know how to get libtool to link with mpicc and not gcc'?17:59
jtaylor./libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link mpicc does not do it18:00
astraljavaHey gang, where is pbuilder supposed to write the logfile I specify with --logfile to? I'm not seeing it anywhere on my system.18:24
jtaylorthe option takes a path18:26
astraljavajtaylor: Ahh... and if it isn't provided one, then it won't create the file at all?18:26
jtaylordon'T know18:27
astraljavajtaylor: Ok, thanks.18:28
astraljavaHmm... well, even with path, it won't get created.18:34
=== jalcine is now known as jalcine_

=== jalcine is now known as jalcine_
astraljavajtaylor: Right, it was just a case of confusing documentation. The --logfile <file> option needs to go in between --build option and the <filename.dsc> argument. :-/20:00
jtaylorweird, is not necessary for me20:01
jtaylorbut I'm using cowbuilder20:01
