mitya57dholbach: "/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-packaging-guide-html/singlehtml/index.html does not have styling" — looks like a bug in dpkg,12:02
dholbachoh yeah?12:03
mitya57my changes make singlehtml/_images and _links be links to12:03
mitya57../{_static,_images}12:03
mitya57the result is, when you install the new package, they are empty directories12:04
mitya57purging and re-installing the package fixes that12:04
dholbachhummmm12:04
dholbach^ anyone ever experienced anything like this?12:04
mitya57the best thing I can do is revert all the packaging changes12:05
mitya57they weren't really needed for the search to work12:05
dholbachif that's easily possible and makes things work again, that might be useful12:06
dholbachthanks also for the typo and code-styling fixes12:06
dholbachit looks much better now than before12:06
Zhenechdpkg link handling needs special care12:06
Zhenechif you migrate from non-links to links12:06
mitya57yes, that was the case12:07
mitya57Zhenech: any documentation for what "special care" is needed?12:09
Zhenechmitya57, short google didnt yield what I wanted and at work currently12:14
Zhenechi bet you get good results in #debian-devel over in oftc :)12:14
mitya57OK, will now upload my branches and ask that12:16
mitya57dholbach: the new mp is at http://pad.lv/mps/ubuntu-packaging-guide12:21
dholbachmitya57, great12:21
cjwatsonmitya57: dpkg will never replace a symlink with a directory or vice versa; if you want to do that then you must either remove the old symlink/directory in the preinst or fix up the state to what you want in the postinst12:24
cjwatsonThis is an intentional safety feature12:24
mitya57cjwatson: thanks, hm...12:27
mitya57dholbach: are localized versions supposed to be in separate packages?12:29
dholbachmitya57, yes12:29
dholbachotherwise they will very likely get too big12:30
mitya57dholbach: and will they depend on the non-localized one?12:30
dholbachno - the html/pdf text is generated during the build12:30
mitya57I mean that if they do depend, we can have one _static & _sources and link anything else there12:31
dholbachyes12:31
dholbachmaybe the -html* packages should depend on a new -common package12:31
dholbachgetting this right is not as easy as I thought12:31
dholbachbut still I think it's worth the effort12:31
mitya57ok, so I'll wait until the localized packages are ready, and then try to do that using a way suggested by cjwatson12:32
dholbachcan you explain what you mean by "until the localized packages are ready"?12:33
mitya57#LANGS = $(basename $(notdir $(wildcard $(PODIR)/*.po)))12:33
dholbachah yes of course12:33
dholbachlet me try something12:34
mitya57:)12:34
mitya57ah12:34
mitya57there's one more problem with dh_sphinxdoc12:34
mitya57it won't work well when there are two or more sphinx projects built12:35
mitya57so let's not use it at all :)12:35
dholbachok, if we manually enable the languages in LANGS the -es packages look like they work12:36
dholbachimpressive work by the translators12:36
mitya57though, we can mimic its behaviour by linking our {jquery,underscore,doctools,searchtools}.js files to the ones in libjs-sphinxdoc package12:37
dholbachdo you think you can file a bug for it?12:37
mitya57I think I can do it :)12:37
mitya57s/do/implement/12:38
mitya57dholbach: btw, should the -epub package really depend on jquery & underscore?12:39
dholbachmitya57, to be honest, I don't know12:39
mitya57does asomething know?12:39
mitya57hm, when trying to "make epub", I get 5 warnings12:42
mitya57"WARNING: unknown mimetype for _static/*.js, ignoring"12:42
dholbachhm12:43
mitya57ah, it seems that epub is something like an archive with html/js/... inside12:44
mitya57dholbach: lp:~mitya57/ubuntu-packaging-guide/use-libjs-sphinxdoc -- something like this13:00
mitya57I don't have time to test that now, maybe will do that in the evening and propose the merge13:00
dholbachok, I'll have a look13:01

mitya57dholbach: I'm back with a question: debian/rules uses $DEBIANDIR, but that's not defined for me15:26
mitya57can I do s/$$DEBIANDIR/debian/ there?15:26
dholbachmitya57, I don't know - I didn't write all of the code15:27
dholbachand I will have to run for a call in a bit15:27
mitya57I will do that — I think it's safe15:28
dholbachmitya57, but I had noticed that you were missing a 'done' in your debian/rules snippet15:28
mitya57dholbach: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mitya57/ubuntu-packaging-guide/use-libjs-sphinxdoc/revision/18415:28
mitya57"add a closing done"15:28
dholbachperfect :)15:29

ajmitchmicahg: lucky me?19:25
micahgajmitch: gives you an excuse why you're not uploading to the main archive :P19:25
iulianajmitch: Congratulations!19:25
ajmitchmicahg: yeah I'll run with that excuse19:34
ScottKThat and we aren't bumping boost versions, so nothing to do.19:35
ajmitchsounds good to me, I'll head back to sleep19:35
micahgScottK: oh, are we staying with boost 1.49 for R?19:36
ScottKI would assume so.19:38
ScottKGenerally getting ahead of Debian is a bad idea.19:38
ScottKWe should ship the newest that's packaged, but not make it the one we use in packages.19:38
ajmitch& then generally run into co-installability problems if some library needs a newer version of boost19:41
ajmitchit ends up a little bit of a mess, but that's to be expected19:41
ScottKMuch better than trying to fix stacks of FTBFS due to API/ABI changes in the newer boost.19:43
ScottKxnox: ^^^ make sense to you?19:43
ajmitchespecially if it's updated after feature freeze :)19:43
ScottKSid has 1.50, so we should get that, but leave it in Universe.19:44
micahg!info boost1.50 quantal19:47
ubottuPackage boost1.50 does not exist in quantal19:47
ajmitchquick! get it synced! :)19:48
micahg!info libboost1.50-dev quantal19:48
ubottulibboost1.50-dev (source: boost1.50): Boost C++ Libraries development files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.50.0-1 (quantal), package size 9141 kB, installed size 91274 kB19:48
ajmitchok, so it just doesn't show the source package19:48
ScottK boost1.50 |   1.50.0-1 | quantal/universe | source19:49
ScottKSo no change, really. (there's a -2 in Sid)19:49
micahglooks like we'll get libav 9 in R19:49
ajmitchhow much breakage is there with that one?19:50
micahglots of internal APIs becoming private19:50
