[00:02] genii-around: just saw the report on http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1205036--shooting-reported-at-eaton-centre?bn=1 [00:04] 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 [00:05] ouch [00:05] did they catch the shooter yet? [00:06] Don't know. The whole place is locked down still so probably not [00:07] Almost as many cops around here as when the G20 was on [00:07] 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 [00:11] Going to go watch the hockey game next door now until it's sorted out. All the streetcars are sardine cans. [03:48] Has anyone ever successfully set up a PPA? [08:25] jlamothe: not personally, but what problem(s) are you encountering? [12:50] DarwinSurvivor: I just can't seem to figure out how to upload the packages. [12:51] Although, after some more seching, it seems I have to upload the source, and have them create the .debs. [12:53] I already have the sources hostrd at github. I don't kbow that I want to duplicate that. [15:11] jlamothe, did you get your PPA problems straightened out? [15:35] bregma: Not yet. I'm considering just distributing the packages directly. [15:37] 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 [15:38] Can I do it without switching from git to Bazaar? [15:39] a PPA requires a Debian source package, the VCS you use to create that source package is irrelevant [15:39] I use git all the time to create Debian source packages [15:41] Can an autotools package be easily converted? [15:42] I use autotools for all my projects [15:42] do you know how to create a debian source package? [15:51] * jlamothe is semi-afk. [16:09] The debian source package is what I feed to checkinstall? [16:11] the debian source package is what you dput to the PPA, it gets built into binary debs for all architectures [16:14] 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. [16:16] 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 [16:18] are you familiar with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide ? [16:22] 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. [16:47] It says it's obsolete, but there's a link to another page. I'll have a read.
