dholbachbdrung, do you think we could get another ubuntu-packaging-guide uploaded?12:06
bdrungdholbach: yes12:08
dholbachawesome12:08
dholbachI just added an article which I feel could be interesting12:08
dholbachonce we have it uploaded, I can take care of a backport to precise12:09
dholbachthanks a lot bdrung12:16
bdrungdholbach: before uploading: in 2.3.2 there is an missing closing bracket12:19
bdrungdholbach: the structure of the following sentence is a bit weird: "While this test is very small and basic, it tests quite a number of core components on a system, so is very important to have as it might uncover a big number of problems."12:20
dholbachbdrung, hum, what is 2.3.2?12:21
bdrungdholbach: "The actual tests"12:21
dholbachaha12:21
dholbachlet me see12:21
dholbachbdrung, thanks a lot - fixed12:23
dholbachbdrung, hang on, just got another suggeston from jibel12:23
dholbachdone12:24
bdrungdholbach: btw, do you want to become a maintainer of that package in Debian?12:24
dholbachhm, I have never really dealt with uploading packages to Debian12:25
bdrungdholbach: being maintainer != doing an upload12:26
dholbachstill, I'm not sure I should be doing it12:26
bdrungdholbach: you are listed in Uploaders and in the changelog stanza, but you still need a sponsor to do the actual upload12:26
bdrungbeing a maintainer is more about having the responsibility12:27
dholbachI'm really happy to take care of it in Ubuntu - but I'm not sure I want to be maintainer of it in Debian - I deal with almost everything else around the packaging guide already and I don't even have a Debian system to try things on12:28
bdrungdholbach: i doubt that this package could have debian only bugs12:29
bdrungdholbach: the grammar seems wrong in the new sentence "Also will [...]"12:29
dholbachhum12:30
bdrungwhere's the subject?12:30
dholbachI'm not sure12:30
dholbach"packages in Debian" is the subject of the sentence12:31
bdrungAlso packages in Debian with a testsuite header will be automatically added when they are synced to Ubuntu.12:32
bdrungsound more English to me12:32
dholbach^ native speakers :)12:32
cjwatsonBetter but not quite12:32
cjwatsonPackages in Debian with a testsuite header will also be automatically added when they are synced to Ubuntu.12:32
cjwatsonSeems better to me12:33
dholbachgreat, thank you12:33
cjwatson(You could alternatively say "Also, ...", but that reads a bit clumsily to me.)12:33
cjwatsonPuts the stress in a slightly different place I suppose.12:33
dholbachupdated :)12:34
bdrungdholbach: thanks. i am doing the upload now.12:36
dholbachexcellent12:37
spartan-11510Hi12:47
spartan-11510i've a litlle question on packaging. When you have a java software, do you create a shell for launh the software, because you must write "java -jar archive.jar"12:48
cjwatsonI answered spartan-11510 on #ubuntu-devel.  (It's best not to crosspost questions, generally.)13:18
cjwatson(Or at least say that you've done so.)13:18
spartan-11510Okay i'll remember for the next time :) and thank's a lot for your answer13:19

MohamedAlaa98_hello :)16:15
MohamedAlaa98_I've a source package (im-switch) and I want to create a patch for it16:15
MohamedAlaa98_but the problem is it doesn't have a patch system16:16
MohamedAlaa98_when I run the command edit-patch my-patch16:16
MohamedAlaa98_I get this output No patchsystem detected, cannot create new patch (no dpatch/quilt/cdbs?)16:17
cjwatsonIt's a native package; it doesn't and shouldn't have a patch system.  Just edit the source code directly.16:17
MohamedAlaa98_you mean using the bzr branching/16:17
MohamedAlaa98_?16:17
MohamedAlaa98_I've already made a branch with the fix I want16:18
MohamedAlaa98_https://code.launchpad.net/~m-alaa8/ubuntu/quantal/im-switch/fix-for-62120416:18
micahgMohamedAlaa98_: I think that needs a UIFe (I thought I commented on that)16:19
* micahg guesses he thought about commenting on that16:20
cjwatsonI don't care whether it involves bzr or not.  My point is that you just edit the files directly rather than creating a patch file.16:20
MohamedAlaa98sorry for lag16:21
MohamedAlaa98did I miss something?16:21
cjwatson17:20 <cjwatson> I don't care whether it involves bzr or not.  My point is that you just edit the files directly rather than creating a patch file.16:21

Laneytumbleweed: micahg: bdrung: Who's organising the UDS KSP then? ;-)16:31
MohamedAlaa98sorry the irc client disconnects, what did I miss?16:31
MohamedAlaa98mitya57: how?16:32
tumbleweedLaney: good thinking16:33
mitya57MohamedAlaa98: simply run submittodebian16:33

MohamedAlaa98ok16:33
jtaylortinymux ftbs confuses me17:59
jtaylorit declares an own stpcpy which apparently conflicts with the one in string.h18:00
jtaylorbut the one in string.h should not be enabled by default18:00
jtaylorits not enabled on the command line or config.h18:01
jtaylorhm found it some autoconf.h defines gnu source18:02
jtaylorwait GNU_SOURCE should also not enable it ...18:03
jtaylorhow to fill out the bug template for an sru fixing two bugs?18:33
jtaylorfill out the template in both bugs or just one?18:33
micahgjtaylor: template in both debdiff on one18:39
