| MetalGodWin | Hello, (Hope i found the right place?) What section does my app belong to if it's a development tool? I need to fill that in in the control file during packaging. | 11:08 |
| JainAmber | MetalGodWin, The list of sections is here: http://packages.debian.org/stable/ | 11:10 |
| MetalGodWin | JainAmber: Thank you | 11:10 |
| JainAmber | MetalGodWin, See description for line2: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#control | 11:14 |
| JainAmber | Also, http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-subsections | 11:15 |
| MetalGodWin | JainAmber I came to the conclusion that my app belongs to devel. Thanks again :) | 11:16 |
| MechanisM | I'm did apt-get source somepackage, modified it and wanna generate deb from it. how to do it? | 11:21 |
| MechanisM | and also did apt-get build-dep somepackage | 11:21 |
| arand | MechanisM: Normally you'd use debuild (or dpkg-buildpackage) | 11:23 |
| MechanisM | which command I should pass? | 11:23 |
| MechanisM | ok did it | 11:24 |
| MechanisM | btw can I build on 32 bit ubuntu debs for all and for 64 bit ubuntu? | 11:26 |
| MechanisM | like I seen some packages called packagename-all.deb or packagename-amd64.deb etc | 11:27 |
| astraljava | MechanisM: You cannot build 64-bit packages on 32-bit systems. But the -all is another thing, it means that same package can be utilized on all archs, ie. it's arch independent. | 11:28 |
| MechanisM | okay, thanx a lot. btw currently I'm on 12.10 x32 but I have also 64bit 12.04 can I build 32/64 both on 64 bit os? | 11:29 |
| directhex | yes, but it needs a little bit of setting up | 11:30 |
| MechanisM | I have ia32libs and all related things | 11:30 |
| MechanisM | ok thank you guys I'll investigate on this issue later. just wanted to make sure. | 11:31 |
| directhex | you can't build a 32-bit version from "inside" the 64-bit os. you need a minimal 32-bit environment available, e.g. as provided by pbuilder-dist | 11:31 |
| directhex | it'll just create a 32-bit os tarball, and use that as a build environment. it's easy once you get it going | 11:31 |
| MechanisM | okay. I'll check this when I'll be booted into 64 bit os | 11:31 |
| directhex | remember that you only need different 32 bit or 64-bit packages if your code isn't cross-platform (i.e. it's C or C++ or similar) | 11:32 |
| directhex | python or perl or java or c#, you should only need one "all" package | 11:32 |
| MechanisM | mine is python with c bindings | 11:33 |
| MetalGodWin | I'm unable to start my app once i've installed it to my system. It's written in python, anything else I should think of than following the guide @http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/packaging-new-software.html | 11:50 |
| Zhenech | posting the error you see when you try to execute the app from the shell might hekp | 11:51 |
| Zhenech | help* | 11:51 |
| Laney | #ubuntu-app-devel is probably better | 11:51 |
| MetalGodWin | only a can't find msg if I run the command <appname>. Tried python <appname> then it says it cant find the__main__ class | 11:53 |
| MetalGodWin | could it be that i've used capital letters for the .py files? My app-name is installed with a lowercase name or how you should put it | 11:54 |
| MetalGodWin | Laney: thank i will try that | 11:54 |

| nhandler | Does anyone know where the little icons on https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/search/?q=rhythmbox are pulled from? | 13:06 |
| chris_ | i see a lot prerequisite articles to read before becoming so immerged in this MOTU stuff :) | 13:19 |
| MetalGodWin | I don't get any answer from the logged in ones at app-devel.. I've been stuck at packaging my python app for hours now. Read and tried several how-to guides, nothing works. Could really use some help. | 14:49 |
| ScottK | It would be nice if someone would sponsor the fix for bug 958305 for precise. | 16:10 |

| stgraber | ScottK: done | 16:35 |
| ScottK | stgraber: Thanks. | 16:35 |
| lewtds | Hi, I'm trying to package a software that uses waf as the build system. But when using pbuilder to build, when it calls waf, the command fails with this message "ImportError: No module named tarfile" (Python module). What should I do? | 16:38 |
| ScottK | Accepted. | 16:38 |
| ScottK | lewtds: The best option is convince upstream not to use waf. | 16:38 |
| lewtds | that would be too extreme. Why is the tarfile module not imported? I thought that one is built | 16:39 |
| lewtds | -in | 16:39 |
| lewtds | it builds fine outside of pbuilder thouh | 16:41 |
| ScottK | waf is generally regarded as a less than sane build system. | 16:43 |
| ScottK | Do you build-depend on python? | 16:44 |
| ScottK | The tarfile module is part of python2.7/3.2. | 16:44 |
| lewtds | Thanks, I'd probably try adding it. | 16:47 |
| lewtds | The codebase is in Vala. Do you have any suggestion on which build system that goes well with Vala without too much hassle? | 16:48 |
| ScottK | No. I've never done any vala, but !waf | 16:50 |
| tumbleweed | ewww, waf | 16:51 |
| lewtds | thanks, adding python2.7 dependency did the trick! | 16:51 |
| Laney | ScottK: fancy processing the backports waiting in $queues? | 16:51 |
| tumbleweed | err, you should rather be depending on python than python2.7 | 16:52 |
| ScottK | Laney: Did precise. | 17:05 |
| Laney | I uploaded some to lucid too | 17:06 |
| ScottK | Laney: Those are done too. | 17:15 |
| Laney | thanks | 17:16 |
| Laney | ScottK: NEW too :-) | 17:17 |
| ScottK | OK. I'll look there too. | 17:17 |
| Laney | Just because I know how much you like using this new tool | 17:17 |
| ScottK | Heh. | 17:18 |
| * tumbleweed 's INBOX is under a haskell seige today | 20:43 | |
| Laney | ?!?!?! | 20:43 |
| Laney | that's me wondering what I missed | 20:44 |
| ajmitch | is laney breaking something again? | 20:44 |
| Laney | adconrad broke it. not me. nuh uh. | 20:44 |
| Laney | seems someone is doing a transition | 21:59 |
| Laney | this seems unwise. | 21:59 |
