[03:30] armhf is armv7 in both instead of armv3 and armv7. [03:32] ScottK: in quantal it's armv4t and armv5 AIUI [03:33] err...sid vs quantal [03:33] for armel [03:33] Pretty sure we're v7. [03:33] jaunty was v5, IIRC. === Amaranthus is now known as Amaranth [07:08] good morning [07:59] could someone do something with bug #860045 please? it's almost 9 months old [07:59] Launchpad bug 860045 in gdb-msp430 (Ubuntu) "package gdb-msp430 7.2~mspgcc-7.2-20110612-1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/gdb/python/gdb/__init__.py', which is also in package gdb 7.3-0ubuntu2" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/860045 === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away [12:34] some one can help me with how to choose basic beginner merges [12:35] some one please [12:35] dholbach, ping [12:35] hi badfox [12:36] hi dholbach [12:37] 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] 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] for example if it says "demoted X from recommends to suggests" then that's a simple change [12:37] but if there's a gazillions lines of changes it might be harder :) [12:38] yes, I'd go through the list of merges on merges.u.c and check out a few [12:38] ok [12:38] i have opened that already [12:38] dholbach, https://merges.ubuntu.com/universe.html#outstanding i am here now [12:38] cool [12:38] so confuse what to choose [12:39] as I said: pick one, check out the changes in the report which were done in the past [12:40] does anyone else have a secret recipe? [12:40] ok i will try [12:41] ok cool [12:41] if you have questions, just ask in here [12:41] I've got to go out for a bit now, but I'm sure somebody else can answer as well :) [12:41] https://merges.ubuntu.com/a/activiz.net/REPORT this one seems , good for a basic starter like me [12:43] good luck! :) [12:43] see you in a bit [12:43] dholbach, is it fine ight [12:43] right ? [12:43] you should be able to sync activiz.net [12:43] fyi :-) [12:44] means Laney ? [12:44] it means that the changes we have are no longer needed, so we can copy the version from debian [12:44] in this case it looks like -2 incorporated them [12:45] but of course you should confirm this [12:45] !sync [12:45] Helpful information for filing a sync request can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess [12:47] Laney, now i am getting it to download [12:47] so you mean we can directly get it right ? [12:47] you should verify this yourself [12:47] but I think so. [12:50] Laney, whats the meaning of this message " It looks like this package is maintained in revision control:" === ikonia is now known as ikonia_ === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia [13:43] 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] (because we usually only care about Debian packages that have been uploaded to the archive) [13:43] Laney, thanks :) i have stopped that [13:43] stopped? [13:43] making start is really a big deal for me i think [13:44] yeah doing that [13:44] how come? [13:44] because i have got some errors and i am unable to understand where the error [13:44] you want see the report ? la [13:44] Laney, ^^ [13:45] no it's ok, give me a second [13:45] :) [13:46] http://pastebin.com/2eYjdYnm Laney [13:49] that means you need to install the package containing Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/cli.pm [13:49] which is cli-common-dev [13:53] badfox: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/195be63e/ === ogra_ is now known as ogra === ogra is now known as ogra_ [14:44] * Laney syncs it [16:14] 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] a-zorin: The problem is in this line: [16:17] cc -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -lX11 -lXext -lXrender xwinwrap.o -o xwinwrap [16:18] -l options for libraries need to occur *after* the things that refer to symbols in them [16:19] Sorry for my ignorance, but what file is this line in? [16:30] Sorry, it was in the buildlog. Is there anyway to make it build correctly? [19:15] is there a way to search a g_tree for either an exact match, OR the next higher node? [19:31] 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] micahg: ok, thanks for keeping me informed [20:58] psusi: Are you talking about glib binary trees? If yes, you would probably have more luck in #ubuntu-desktop. [20:59] (no idea if the guys in there deal with these but it's worth asking) [22:02] 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] call debbuild -j? [22:03] it works for dpkg-buildpackage [22:03] 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] noted. Thanks :) [22:13] 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] Is it safe to assume that on any amd64 install, build files will always goto obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/ ? [22:14] *on any amd64 install of Ubuntu distro [22:15] In fact, on any debian-based amd64 install.. [22:47] AmberJ_: no you can't assume that, but its probably sensible to assume that only one folder exists [22:47] so you could use wildcards [22:51] jtaylor_: Is obj-* what you mean? [22:51] yes, you could also patch the buildsystem [22:54] ok thanks!
