jtaylorhow does a fakesync work? it only changes the debian revision, how can it change the orig.tar?13:04
Laneyyou rebuild the source package with a different orig to the one debian has13:04
Laneyso the checksums are different13:04
jtaylorso it keeps the ubuntu orig?13:05
Laneyyes13:05
Laneyi think syncpackage can detect this situation13:05
jtaylorit does13:07
eagles0513875micahg: nobody is installer that channel is dead :( dunno who i can turn to for some really show stopper bugs :(14:26

Laneyeagles0513875: A lot of folk aren't around on the weekend.18:12
eagles0513875Laney: i know but nobody was in ubuntu-installer yesterday and it was friday18:13
LaneyIf it was the evening UK time then you might have been too late.18:13
eagles0513875ya I'm only uk +1 where i am18:16
eagles0513875Laney: do you think you could help me with an installer issue?18:16
Laneyno I don't, sorry :(18:17
LaneyThis is one area that I have very little knowledge of18:17
eagles0513875its ok18:19
eagles0513875basically the way things are right now kubuntu is useless as a desktop for me18:19
eagles0513875be it live cd or otherwise18:19
geseris the kubuntu desktop installer that much different from the gnome desktop installer?18:21
geserI see now and then installer questions in #ubuntu-devel, perhaps you might have there any success18:21
LaneyI would suggest that you just ask your question in #-installer and wait for a response.18:22
LaneyOr post it to the installer mailing list.18:23
LaneyOr, if it is a bug, file it on Launchpad.18:23
eagles0513875geser: no18:32
eagles0513875only thing that is different is the desktop that is installed18:32
PaoloRotoloHi all!18:35
eagles0513875Laney: question18:38
eagles0513875my issue though is more related to grub18:38
eagles0513875cuz i have a fairly recent gnu and with noveau it needs nomodeset for grub to be able to boot cuz with out it i get a black screen so would that be something to discuss with the installer people?18:39
PaoloRotoloHi, can You please sponsor my patch for this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdenlive/+bug/100164618:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1001646 in kdenlive (Ubuntu) "kdenlive0.9-1 is missing xine for DVD preview" [Undecided,Fix committed]18:43
AmberJ_Hello19:09
AmberJ_Is there any reason why anyone should prefer Ubuntu "Packaging" over "CPack"?19:10
AmberJ_By Ubuntu "Packaging", I mean the Packaging guide on Ubuntu wiki...19:10
geserwhat is "CPack"?19:12
PaoloRotoloup :)19:13
AmberJ_geser, CPack is a packaging system for software distributions which is tightly integrated with CMake, but can function without it.19:15
jtaylorhow does it handle dependencies?19:16
AmberJ_geser, It allows you to generate: Linux RPM, deb and gzip distributions of both binaries and source code; NSIS files (for Microsoft Windows); Mac OS X packages19:16
jtaylora such a thing, you can often use that as a starting point, but to integrate it properly into the debian/ubuntu ecosystem extra work is required19:17
AmberJ_jtaylor, 'make'/'cmake' does the dependency handling for it.19:18
PaoloRotoloHi, can you please sponsor my patch for this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdenlive/+bug/1001646  :)19:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1001646 in kdenlive (Ubuntu) "kdenlive0.9-1 is missing xine for DVD preview" [Undecided,Fix committed]19:18
geserAmberJ_: does it support the same "interface" to allow a buildd build the binary packages from a source package?19:18
LaneyPaoloRotolo: Someone will get to it through the sponsors queue :-)19:19
LaneyIt's probably a good idea to send it upstream (to Debian) though, since we get this package unmodified from them.19:19
jtaylorAmberJ_: these tools are useful for upstreams to distribute to many plattforms, but if you want a package in the archive, follow the ubuntu/debian packaging guides19:20
AmberJ_geser, I don't know. I came here looking for help/info about pros and cons of cmake. I'm planning to package something and cmake seems to do it quickly but I was more interested to see if it follows same interface/standards.19:20
AmberJ_jtaylor, Do you mean that if I expect my package to be in ubuntu/debian repos, I need to follow ubuntu/debian packaging guides?19:21
geserAmberJ_: the Ubuntu (and Debian) build daemons only support Debian source packages, so if you intend to get a package into the Ubuntu and/or Debian archive, they must have that format19:21
AmberJ_ok I get it :) Thanks a lot!19:21
AmberJ_I'll go and start reading packaging guide then...19:22
geserbut for your own homepage (or project page) you can also build them with CPack (assuming it generates good packages) (but of course proper Debian packaging would be preferred)19:22
jtaylorwhen is mergomatic going to be fixed?19:23
geserwhen IS handles that MoM ticket and looks into it19:24
AmberJ_Well, I might end up using CPack for osx/cygwin, but I'll use packaging guide for Ubuntu/Debian.19:24
Laneysomeone could run another instance19:37
LaneyI tried but update-sources.py killed the m1.large I used :O19:37
