trijntjewhat is a good resource on how to fix errors reported by lintian? I can't even figure out how to  fixthe "no-copyright-file" error18:06
tumbleweedlintian-info --tags no-copyright-file18:06
tumbleweedthe answer is: write a debian/copyright file18:07
trijntjeI did try to copy over the debian/copyright file from another package, but that just gave me "unknown-control-file copyright"18:10
tumbleweedthat's a suprising lintian error to end up with18:13
tumbleweedsounds like you did something wrong in debian/rules18:13
trijntjeI'm trying to figure out how to create a .deb fom scratch for a script I wrote18:14
trijntjeso I dont have a debian/rules file18:15
tumbleweedsounds like you're trying to create the deb directly. That's not a very good approach18:15
tumbleweedyou rather want to create a debian source package, and then build it18:15
trijntjetumbleweed: do you know of a tutorial I can follow to do this?18:17
tumbleweedtrijntje: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/18:19
trijntjetumbleweed: thanks! I'll follow that and see if I can get it to work. Its pretty hard to get started with packaging if you know nothing about it18:23
tumbleweedIf you get stuck, just ask. Here or in #ubuntu-packaging18:24
Laneywoe is my gpg passphrase18:25
Laneywoe is backportpackage trashing its working area on exit18:25
tumbleweedoh, it shouldn't do that18:28
trijntjetumbleweed: I didn't know about #ubuntu-packaging, I'll ask there if I get stuck. Thanks again!18:28
Laneytumbleweed and highvoltage: how's .ni?18:30
tumbleweedLaney: hot and humid18:30
tumbleweedoh, also, the local sim cards hate my phone : :(18:31
Laneyhave some sks to make you hotter18:33
tumbleweed:)18:34
Laneyi tried to use lucas's rebuild scripts in the hp cloud but it appears that he made some custom amis with(?) local repos and chroots already set up18:38
Laneywill need more work18:38
highvoltageLaney: as awesome as it is hot and humid :)18:38
highvoltage(which is a lot of both)18:38
Laneysave me some cheese18:38
* tumbleweed hopes my cheese survived the trip18:39
* highvoltage just bought the most exotic looking cheese without knowing what it really is18:39
