[06:44] <trijntje> Hi all, I would like to put a simple script I wrote in a debian package. I can't seem to find a simple tutorial on google, can someone provide a pointer?
[10:48] <AmberJ_> trijntje: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/
[17:52] <tumbleweed> backporters (micahg?): Prod re bug 1022285
[18:06] <trijntje> what is a good resource on how to fix errors reported by lintian? I can't even figure out how to  fixthe "no-copyright-file" error
[18:06] <tumbleweed> lintian-info --tags no-copyright-file
[18:07] <tumbleweed> the answer is: write a debian/copyright file
[18:10] <trijntje> I did try to copy over the debian/copyright file from another package, but that just gave me "unknown-control-file copyright"
[18:13] <tumbleweed> that's a suprising lintian error to end up with
[18:13] <tumbleweed> sounds like you did something wrong in debian/rules
[18:14] <trijntje> I'm trying to figure out how to create a .deb fom scratch for a script I wrote
[18:15] <trijntje> so I dont have a debian/rules file
[18:15] <tumbleweed> sounds like you're trying to create the deb directly. That's not a very good approach
[18:15] <tumbleweed> you rather want to create a debian source package, and then build it
[18:17] <trijntje> tumbleweed: do you know of a tutorial I can follow to do this?
[18:19] <tumbleweed> trijntje: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/
[18:23] <trijntje> tumbleweed: 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 it
[18:24] <tumbleweed> If you get stuck, just ask. Here or in #ubuntu-packaging
[18:25] <Laney> woe is my gpg passphrase
[18:25] <Laney> woe is backportpackage trashing its working area on exit
[18:28] <tumbleweed> oh, it shouldn't do that
[18:28] <trijntje> tumbleweed: I didn't know about #ubuntu-packaging, I'll ask there if I get stuck. Thanks again!
[18:30] <Laney> tumbleweed and highvoltage: how's .ni?
[18:30] <tumbleweed> Laney: hot and humid
[18:31] <tumbleweed> oh, also, the local sim cards hate my phone : :(
[18:33] <Laney> have some sks to make you hotter
[18:34] <tumbleweed> :)
[18:38] <Laney> i 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 up
[18:38] <Laney> will need more work
[18:38] <highvoltage> Laney: as awesome as it is hot and humid :)
[18:38] <highvoltage> (which is a lot of both)
[18:38] <Laney> save me some cheese
[18:39]  * tumbleweed hopes my cheese survived the trip
[18:39]  * highvoltage just bought the most exotic looking cheese without knowing what it really is
