ESphynxW: libecerecom0: extended-description-line-too-long04:22
ESphynxI: libecerecom0: extended-description-is-probably-too-short04:22
ESphynxSeriously???04:22
micahghehe04:24
micahgESphynx: pastebin please?04:24
ESphynxmicahg of what?04:31
ESphynxThe control file?04:31
micahgyes04:31
ESphynxhttps://raw.github.com/ecere/sdk/ppa/debian/debian/control04:31
ESphynxI'm in the process of reverting to my previous descriptions that I had myself carefully wrapped (To avoid these stupid lintian msgs I think)04:32
ESphynxin fact, I'm ready to commit it :P04:32
micahgESphynx: wrap-and-sort is your friend04:32
ESphynxmicahg: No it's not.04:33
ESphynxmicahg: I ran it!04:33
ESphynxit didn't do $#1^04:33
micahghrm, I thought it did descriptions...04:33
micahgESphynx: well, wrap at or before 80 char and you'll be fine04:33
ESphynxthat's what I was told . that's why I bothered changing this at all04:33
ESphynxi was wrapping way before, but someone complained it was too short.04:33
ESphynx(wrapping too short)04:34
ESphynx"Those starting with a single space are part of a paragraph. Successive lines of this form will be word-wrapped when displayed. The leading space will usually be stripped off. The line must contain at least one non-whitespace character."04:35
ESphynxIf the lines will be word wrapped, why does lintian still complain that they are short/long ?04:36
ESphynxA full stop -- that is a period eh?04:38
ESphynxwrap-and-sort does nothing with either the long lines, or the shortly wrapped lines04:40
ESphynxunless my wrap-and-sort is too old04:40
micahgESphynx: I checked the man page, it doesn't say it does04:45
ESphynxah :| guess one is just under that impression :P04:45
ESphynxHey so say I want to target unstable instead of experimental , I just update the most recent entry in my changelog?04:45
ESphynxAnd for Ubuntu, if I want this to be an SRU, should I write raring or quantal in the new changelog entry?04:46
ESphynxor should the whole changelog say raring / unstable?04:48
micahgESphynx: you can sync from unstable/experimental to raring04:53
ScottKESphynx: It has to be fixed in raring before it can be an SRU.04:53
ESphynxScottK: right... but I'm still keeping an ubuntu changelog for my Launchpad PPA05:06
ESphynxbut in the Debian changelog, the last entry can say unstable, and the previous one experimental?05:06
ScottKYes.05:11

dholbachgood morning08:00
ESphynxgood morning =)08:16
ESphynxdholbach: where in the world are you? I always get your good morning wishes when when I'm staying up way too late =(08:16
ESphynxbuild issues tend to do that =(08:17
dholbachESphynx, Berlin, Germany08:18
ESphynxah =) I'm in canada08:24
astraljavaIt's usually worrying enough if you're still up when pitti hails his morning wishes. If you're _still_ up when dholbach does, you know you're bad. :)08:58
dholbachok, I've got to start earlier in the morning, best with pitti - to make people feel a bit less bad09:00
astraljavaWell, most people need to snooze the alarm in the mornings, too, so I guess it might work when going to bed as well. :)09:01
ESphynxwhat would be the best way to install stuff ensuring directories 777 permissions is preserved? I want to copy my samples directory and the user needs writing permission in there...09:17
cjwatsonthat's a fairly explicit policy violation; my recommendation would be to find some other way to solve the problem09:35
cjwatsone.g. have the user take their own copy09:35
ESphynxcjwatson is it? only on directories though :|09:40
ESphynxit's just annoying if the user open up a sample and it doesn't build because the makefile can't be generated...09:40
cjwatsonIt's a policy violation because it means that on a multi-user system the contents of that directory are completely untrustable09:41
cjwatsonEvery other package I can think of like this documents that the user needs to take their own copy in order to play with it09:42
cjwatsonI recommend doing the same09:42
ESphynxhmm09:42
ESphynxwell I'll keep this for my make install09:42
ESphynxbut I'll consider doing something different if DEB_PKG is defined09:42
ESphynxthough I don't know how I could inform the user :S09:43
cjwatsonput a README in the same directory?09:43
ESphynxyeah most uers don't read README :P09:43
cjwatsontough09:43
ESphynxfirst thing I should is improve on that error09:43
cjwatsonI certainly consider anything in the Ubuntu archive that ships mode 777 directories to be critically buggy, although it's not something we scan for09:44
ESphynxright now it's really bad09:44
ESphynxOK I'll keep note of that :P09:44
ESphynxIs that something I should fix right now? even though it's 4:44 AM and i've been trying to get this package update ready the whole day? =)09:44
cjwatsonIt must be fixed before it can go into the Ubuntu archive, although surely dh_fixperms overrides the permissions to something sane anyway09:45
ESphynxlintian doesn't warn about it , btw09:45
ESphynxit's already in the Ubuntu archive...09:45
cjwatsonpackage name?09:45
ESphynxis that gonna get me an auto-deletion09:45
ESphynx:P09:45
ESphynxif it's really considered critical, I'll fix it for this package i'm building today09:46
cjwatsonif this is ecere-samples, I'm not seeing any mode 777 directories in the version in the archive09:46
ESphynxIt is ecere-samples :P09:47
cjwatsonthen there is no bug right now as far as I can see; the samples directories aren't world-writable09:47
cjwatsonwhich would also explain why lintian isn't saying anything09:48
ESphynxok... in fact i had other dirs which I did not mean to be world-writable world-writable, and samples were not... but the pkg install might be overriding that09:48
cjwatsonas I say, dh_fixperms generally overrides non-policy-compliant permissions09:49
ESphynxright.09:50

* bdrung made sure that there are no open sync requests11:23
Laneydholbach: are you able to set reminders when you schedule pilots?11:42
LaneyI just found out I missed mine yesterday :(11:43
Laneya reminder that morning would have been cool beans11:43
* Laney will do it this afternoon instead11:43
dholbachLaney, it depends on how you set up google cal I think11:43
dholbachthe script I use sets up a reminder11:43
Laneyit had a 1 day one, which I assume was done by you11:43
Laneybut that's long enough that I forgot :(11:44
LaneyI should have moved it to a specific part of the day - will do that in future11:45
dholbachthe 1-day reminder is done by a script11:46

Quintasanbdrung: nudge to sign my key17:53
bobweaverHello there awesome motu people :) I have a simple question about packaging plugin's for say gimp. (making example brb)18:03
bobweaversay I want to make this into a package   http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/gimp-qmlexporter/blobs/master/qmlexporter.py18:04
bobweaverthat has to go to ~/.gimp/plugins/   right but that is under the users home dir is that not allowed in debian policy ?18:04
=== codemaniac is now known as fego
bobweaverhow to get around something like that ?18:04
jtaylorwhen something needs to go into home it should do so at runtime18:05
jtaylore.g. on first run18:05
bobweaverjtaylor,  sorry I am not sure that I understand. Are you saying that I should write some sorta something that says, if 1st time launched do X ? If so how to do something like that ? thanks18:06
tumbleweedwhy not just install it into /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins ? does it *have* to be in the user's plugin dir?18:06
tumbleweed(that's just a guess as to the corret plugin dir, but I'm assuming there's a system wide one for python plugins...)18:07
bobweavertumbleweed,  IDNK but what I do know is that you are awesome and that should work I would think18:07
bobweaverthat is what I also thought but I was un-sure if there was and also pondering the idea of having to put something in $HOME18:07
bobweaverI love this Channel !!!!18:07
tumbleweedheh18:08
bobweaverThanks jtaylor  and tumbleweed18:08
=== Ursinha-afk is now known as Ursinha
bobweaverHello its me again :)  would someone be so kind to look over this setup.py  (it is my 1st one ever) I am not sure what the last line does but it was in a example so I left it there thanks again :)18:40
bobweaverhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1340531/18:40
jtayloris the license correct?18:44
bobweaveryeah it is gpl318:44
bobweaveror at least that is what header says in script18:45
jtaylorshouldn#t it be GPLv3+ then?18:45
bobweaverhad to dig to find email18:45
bobweaverNot sure jtaylor  this is 1st time with setup.py I was using example from .....18:45
bobweaverhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythbuntu/unity-scope-mythtv/view/head:/setup.py18:46
jtaylorhm pypi has 3415 gpls and only 8 GPLv2+ so probably nobody cars18:46
jtaylorI'd still stick with the correct string18:46
bobweaverI would love too18:46
bobweaverthat is why I am here is to ask these questions I really want to learn 'why' things are done and best practice18:47
bobweaverI am changing that line18:47
bobweaverThis is what I have atp18:47
bobweaverlicense="GNU General Public License 3(GPLv3)",18:47
bobweaverLooking good ?18:48
jtayloris it v3 or v3+?18:48
bobweaverNot sure good question18:49
jtaylorv3 only is not good18:49
jtaylorif there is an incompatible v4 you'Re screwed18:49
bobweaverwowie wowie that would not be good18:49
bobweaverthanks again jtaylor  :)18:50
