[03:30] <ScottK> armhf is armv7 in both instead of armv3 and armv7.
[03:32] <micahg> ScottK: in quantal it's armv4t and armv5 AIUI
[03:33] <micahg> err...sid vs quantal
[03:33] <micahg> for armel
[03:33] <ScottK> Pretty sure we're v7.
[03:33] <ScottK> jaunty was v5, IIRC.
[07:08] <dholbach> good morning
[07:59] <cousteau> could someone do something with bug #860045 please?  it's almost 9 months old
[12:34] <badfox> some one can help me with how to choose basic beginner   merges
[12:35] <badfox> some one please
[12:35] <badfox> dholbach,  ping
[12:35] <dholbach> hi badfox
[12:36] <badfox> hi dholbach
[12:37] <dholbach> I think there's no way to just pick them somewhere, but it helps if you check out the REPORT file of a few merges on merges.ubuntu.com and see how complicated the changes sound
[12:37] <badfox> dholbach,  my problem is i am a basic starter of merging . i have done merging to one package . That is dnprogs . so now i want your help to help me on merges . i mean some easy merges i can do .
[12:37] <dholbach> for example if it says "demoted X from recommends to suggests" then that's a simple change
[12:37] <dholbach> but if there's a gazillions lines of changes it might be harder :)
[12:38] <dholbach> yes, I'd go through the list of merges on merges.u.c and check out a few
[12:38] <badfox> ok
[12:38] <badfox> i have opened that already
[12:38] <badfox> dholbach, https://merges.ubuntu.com/universe.html#outstanding i am here now
[12:38] <dholbach> cool
[12:38] <badfox> so confuse  what to choose
[12:39] <dholbach> as I said: pick one, check out the changes in the report which were done in the past
[12:40] <dholbach> does anyone else have a secret recipe?
[12:40] <badfox> ok i will try
[12:41] <dholbach> ok cool
[12:41] <dholbach> if you have questions, just ask in here
[12:41] <dholbach> I've got to go out for a bit now, but I'm sure somebody else can answer as well :)
[12:41] <badfox> https://merges.ubuntu.com/a/activiz.net/REPORT this one seems , good for a basic starter like me
[12:43] <dholbach> good luck! :)
[12:43] <dholbach> see you in a bit
[12:43] <badfox> dholbach,  is it fine ight
[12:43] <badfox> right ?
[12:43] <Laney> you should be able to sync activiz.net
[12:43] <Laney> fyi :-)
[12:44] <badfox> means Laney  ?
[12:44] <Laney> it means that the changes we have are no longer needed, so we can copy the version from debian
[12:44] <Laney> in this case it looks like -2 incorporated them
[12:45] <Laney> but of course you should confirm this
[12:45] <Laney> !sync
[12:47] <badfox> Laney,  now i am getting it to download
[12:47] <badfox> so you mean we can directly get it right ?
[12:47] <Laney> you should verify this yourself
[12:47] <Laney> but I think so.
[12:50] <badfox> Laney,  whats the meaning of this message " It looks like this package is maintained in revision control:"
[13:43] <Laney> badfox: What it says: the maintainer keeps the package in a revision control system. If it refers to a debian.org URL then you can probably ignore it.
[13:43] <Laney> (because we usually only care about Debian packages that have been uploaded to the archive)
[13:43] <badfox> Laney,  thanks :) i have stopped that
[13:43] <Laney> stopped?
[13:43] <badfox> making start is really a big deal for me i think
[13:44] <badfox> yeah doing that
[13:44] <Laney> how come?
[13:44] <badfox> because i have got some errors and  i am unable to understand where the error
[13:44] <badfox> you want see the report ? la
[13:44] <badfox> Laney,  ^^
[13:45] <Laney> no it's ok, give me a second
[13:45] <badfox> :)
[13:46] <badfox> http://pastebin.com/2eYjdYnm Laney
[13:49] <Laney> that means you need to install the package containing Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/cli.pm
[13:49] <Laney> which is cli-common-dev
[13:53] <Laney> badfox: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/195be63e/
[14:44]  * Laney syncs it
[16:14] <a-zorin> I'm having some issues with building a package on Launchpad. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions if anyone may have any. Full details of the problem are here: http://goo.gl/mrVdl
[16:17] <maxb> a-zorin: The problem is in this line:
[16:17] <maxb> cc -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -lX11 -lXext -lXrender  xwinwrap.o   -o xwinwrap
[16:18] <maxb> -l options for libraries need to occur *after* the things that refer to symbols in them
[16:19] <a-zorin> Sorry for my ignorance, but what file is this line in?
[16:30] <a-zorin> Sorry, it was in the buildlog. Is there anyway to make it build correctly?
[19:15] <psusi> is there a way to search a g_tree for either an exact match, OR the next higher node?
[19:31] <micahg> siretart: sorry, I haven't gotten to libav-extra yet, but hopefully this weekend (Ubuntu studio who is the main consumer has other issues they're working on ATM, so it's not the end of the world)
[19:32] <siretart> micahg: ok, thanks for keeping me informed
[20:58] <iulian> psusi: Are you talking about glib binary trees? If yes, you would probably have more luck in #ubuntu-desktop.
[20:59] <iulian> (no idea if the guys in there deal with these but it's worth asking)
[22:02] <AmberJ> How can I pass number of jobs to run simultaneously when using debuild? 'make' uses -j option to specify tthis. How can I pass -j value to debuild (to be used by make)?
[22:02] <Zhenech> call debbuild -j?
[22:03] <Zhenech> it works for dpkg-buildpackage
[22:03] <Laney> yes, you can't see it in the debuild manpage because it's a dpkg-buildpackage option (debuild passes unknown options down to dpkg-buildpackage)
[22:06] <AmberJ> noted. Thanks :)
[22:13] <AmberJ> If a file does not gets installed by upstream's 'make install', we add a line to debian/install... On my system built files goto a directory (in root of source directory) obj-x86_64-linux-gnu
[22:14] <AmberJ> Is it safe to assume that on any amd64 install, build files will always goto obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/ ?
[22:14] <AmberJ> *on any amd64 install of Ubuntu distro
[22:15] <AmberJ> In fact, on any debian-based amd64 install..
[22:47] <jtaylor_> AmberJ_: no you can't assume that, but its probably sensible to assume that only one folder exists
[22:47] <jtaylor_> so you could use wildcards
[22:51] <AmberJ> jtaylor_: Is obj-* what you mean?
[22:51] <jtaylor_> yes, you could also patch the buildsystem
[22:54] <AmberJ> ok thanks!
