| DarwinSurvivor | genii-around: just saw the report on http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1205036--shooting-reported-at-eaton-centre?bn=1 | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| genii-around | I'm right across the street here. My friend who was in the mall at the time texted me about it. And now a shuttle bus they sent out because they closed the subway for it.. just hit a pole on the corner of Dundas and Bay | 00:04 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ouch | 00:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | did they catch the shooter yet? | 00:05 |
| genii-around | Don't know. The whole place is locked down still so probably not | 00:06 |
| genii-around | Almost as many cops around here as when the G20 was on | 00:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yeah, that's about all I'm getting from the news reports as well. looks like transit is also busy rerouteing half of Toronto from the sounds of things | 00:07 |
| genii-around | Going to go watch the hockey game next door now until it's sorted out. All the streetcars are sardine cans. | 00:11 |
| jlamothe | Has anyone ever successfully set up a PPA? | 03:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jlamothe: not personally, but what problem(s) are you encountering? | 08:25 |
| jlamothe | DarwinSurvivor: I just can't seem to figure out how to upload the packages. | 12:50 |
| jlamothe | Although, after some more seching, it seems I have to upload the source, and have them create the .debs. | 12:51 |
| jlamothe | I already have the sources hostrd at github. I don't kbow that I want to duplicate that. | 12:53 |
| bregma | jlamothe, did you get your PPA problems straightened out? | 15:11 |
| jlamothe | bregma: Not yet. I'm considering just distributing the packages directly. | 15:35 |
| bregma | the advantage of using a PPA is that your packages will be built against the right version of dependencies for all target releases, and that is important for maintaining quality | 15:37 |
| jlamothe | Can I do it without switching from git to Bazaar? | 15:38 |
| bregma | a PPA requires a Debian source package, the VCS you use to create that source package is irrelevant | 15:39 |
| bregma | I use git all the time to create Debian source packages | 15:39 |
| jlamothe | Can an autotools package be easily converted? | 15:41 |
| bregma | I use autotools for all my projects | 15:42 |
| bregma | do you know how to create a debian source package? | 15:42 |
| * jlamothe is semi-afk. | 15:51 | |
| jlamothe | The debian source package is what I feed to checkinstall? | 16:09 |
| bregma | the debian source package is what you dput to the PPA, it gets built into binary debs for all architectures | 16:11 |
| jlamothe | It was the syntax of dput that was tripping me up, but I thought I had to use it to send a .deb file, rather than source. | 16:14 |
| bregma | no, you need a .changes file, which is part of the debian source package, which is a way of preparing your source so it can be built by the PPA builders | 16:16 |
| bregma | are you familiar with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide ? | 16:18 |
| jlamothe | I'm om a phone right now, so I can't really check it right now, but I will when I get to a PC. | 16:22 |
| jlamothe | It says it's obsolete, but there's a link to another page. I'll have a read. | 16:47 |
