olyhi, I am quite new to debian packageing, is anyone able to shed some light on this error ? E: geany-plugin-code-snippets: dir-in-usr-local usr/local/share/07:22
olyI am also getting this error using a slightly different rules file which has me stumped, rmdir: failed to remove `debian/geany-plugin-code-snippets/usr/local/share/geany/geanypy/plugins/geany-snippets': Directory not empty07:36
olywhy the build process would be creating files it can then not delete later on is a tad strange07:37
geserit's not a file but a non-empty directory you try to remove07:42
olyyeah i get that but i dont get why, as its all pretty much done and handled by the build process as far as i can tell07:43
olyI am no longer doing anything in the rules file and leaving it to the helpers to manage07:44
olyI basically have %:dh $@ in my rules file07:45
olythis is a python program, and i have created similar projects and not hit the issue07:45
olyI have everything on launchpad bzr branch lp:~oly/geany-code-snippets/trunk07:47
olyand i am building with bzr-buildpackage -- -uc -us if thats any help, the debian files are in the repository as well if anyone has any ideas07:47
geseryour debian/install files mentions to copy the geany-snippets directory to there (/usr/local/...)07:49
olyyeah, its the path for the plugin folder for geany07:50
gesera package shouldn't install to /usr/local/...07:51
geserdoes geany find the plugins also in /usr/share/geany/...?07:51
olyhum, maybe will look see if that exists07:51
geserif yes then let your debian/install install it there (simply remove the /local from the path)07:52
olydoes not exist, but i recon your onto something geser :)07:53

olygot a feeling my machines have geany compiled from source, instead of from the debian file which could be why the paths are different07:53
olyI will setup a vm to test this out, thank you for your time.07:54
olywell changing the path fixes all my issues at least, so i know its definitely the /usr/local causing me the issues :)07:57

marcoshello everybody.14:16
marcossomeone Can you tell me about "edit-patch" command? i try create a new patch for hello package but "no series file found" error occurs.14:16
marcosmay be this is a basic question, but i'm a n00b :)14:17
marcosdeveloper n00b*14:17
arandThat sounds like there are no current patches? 'series' is normally the patch "index" file14:17
marcosarand: very curious. the help say to create a new patch with edit-patch.14:18
marcoswhere is series file?14:18
arandWhich help?14:19
marcosarand: man page. sorry.14:20
marcos"It  can  also be used to incorporate new patches."14:21
arandI'm not sure if it would work if you just "mkdir debian/patches; touch debian/patches/series" ...14:23
marcosdoesn't work :(14:25
marcosmay be i wait for class about patches in ubuntu developer week to learn how i can make a patch14:26
marcosby the way, there's a channel about ubuntu cloud? i have a specific question about juju and cloud.14:26
Bachstelzemarcos: "new patches" here means "adding a patch when patches already exist"14:27
Bachstelzeif there are no patchs you have to create a patch system before14:27
marcosBachstelze: first create a .patch file. second: add to source?14:27
marcosBachstelze: or: exist a patch. add another patch?14:28
Bachstelzemarcos: to create the first patch you can use quilt directly for example14:28
marcosBachstelze: ok. thanks. the session about patches on developer week may be very helpful :)14:29

FlowRiseruhmm, hello :D17:02
FlowRiserI want to develop a new login screen for Ubuntu. What's the best way to do this ? (to make it as lightweight as necessary)17:03
* ogra_ thought that was actually the purpose of lightdm17:04
FlowRiseroh, hi ogra;17:05
FlowRiserogra_: it is, but i want to style it up a bit17:05
FlowRiserand to be honest, i find the lightdm documentation lacking17:05
xnoxFlowRiser: "style it  up" visuals or code/features? There are multiple lightdm login screen (greeters) providers in: gtk, kde, and other toolkits. (html/css as well or am I wrong)17:32
xnoxFlowRiser: pull the sample code with apt-get source and hack away.17:33
FlowRiserxnox: i tried to do that, but they just won't make sense for me; Is it possible to use C++/GTK ?17:33
FlowRiserxnox: i found a python sample, a commented sample; That i can convert to c++, but i'm not sure if the headers will work ...17:34
FlowRiserMy main problem is that the most sample codes are not commented at all17:35
xnoxmy opinion "you are doing it wrong if you are using C++ & GTK", but it should still all work just fine.17:36
xnoxFlowRiser: take Qt sample/greeter. It's in C++. Look at the unity greeter (is it gtk? i think it is)17:37
xnoxfor equivalent gtkmm stuff.17:37
FlowRiserso gtkmm is for c++ ?17:37
FlowRiserthis works17:38
FlowRiserwow17:38
FlowRiserthanks :D17:38
FlowRiserxnox: But why do you think, it is wrong to use C++ & GTK ?17:38
xnoxFlowRiser: because GTK is a C toolkit for C and it implements it's own object model. gtkmm are C++ bindings with C++ objects.17:39
xnoxusing C implementations of objects in C++ is not sensible at all.17:40
xnoxC++ & gtkmm is somewhat sensible17:40
FlowRiserxnox: Thanks allot! This is handy info, and the code makes sense to me now :)17:43
FlowRiserWhen i finish my greeter, how can i make it public ?17:44
