trijntjeHi all, what is the proper way to get a package into ubuntu? (Ubuntu specific, not for debian)11:39
xnoxtrijntje: what is it?11:53
trijntjexnox: its a package with localised default settings, used to build localised iso's for dutch11:56
trijntjea similar package for italian is already present: ubuntu-defaults-it11:56
xnoxtrijntje: push a branch to launchpad. file a bug against ubuntu asking for sponsorship.12:15
xnoxsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors.12:15
trijntjexnox: Ill do that, thanks!12:17
trijntjexnox: how can I file a bug against ubuntu? If I click on 'report a bug' for the ubuntu project it forwards me to a wiki page12:31
Laneyread the page, it tells you how12:32
TheLordOfTimetrijntje:  ubuntu-bug [package]12:32
TheLordOfTimeand yes, read that page.12:32
xnoxTheLordOfTime: there is no package yet12:32
TheLordOfTimehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug  then12:32
xnoxTheLordOfTime: if you are not in bugcontrol that will redirect you to the wiki page ;-)12:33
trijntjeTheLordOfTime: if I click that link I end up on the wiki12:33
TheLordOfTimexnox:  ah.12:33
TheLordOfTimexnox:  forgot about that one :P12:33
TheLordOfTimetrijntje:  so read the wiki then12:34
TheLordOfTimeit explains how to file a bug12:34
trijntjeit does a pretty bad job of explaining how to file a bug requesting packaging of a program12:37
TheLordOfTimethose're special bugs arent they?12:37
trijntjeI've been able to file a bug against ubuntu itself using this link, but it's not exactly easy to find12:38
trijntjehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect12:38
Laneyhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Filing_bugs_at_Launchpad.net links to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages#Requesting%20a%20new%20package%20for%20Ubuntu12:38
TheLordOfTimedid you try using the link they give?12:38
TheLordOfTimehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug?no-redirect&field.tag=needs-packaging12:38
TheLordOfTimewell, different link, but..12:39
TheLordOfTimethe link i just gave comes from the page that Laney mentioned: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages12:41
trijntjeThanks, I just got anoyed because I kept getting redirected to the wiki while I just wanted to file a bug against ubuntu itself12:45
TheLordOfTimeyou should read what it says on the wiki then12:45
Laneynever mind, it's done now12:46
* TheLordOfTime returns to fixing his webserver12:46
trijntjeTheLordOfTime: or you could just have pointed me in the right direction. I asked a simple question, you repeatedly provided a wrong answer, and keep telling me to read a 15+ page wiki page to find 1 link, which links to another page, which has the answer i'm looking for12:53

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1077115 in reportbug (Ubuntu) "reportbug is missing dependency for gtk interface " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/107711518:33
bobweaverwhat is diff command to get difference in package. or should I just re-package the hole thing ?18:34
bobweaverwhole *18:34
bobweaverreally weired debian/control already has the dependency's of  python-vte, python-gtkspell  in it but when using it I had to install18:36
bobweaverbecuase they where not installed Oo18:36
JontheEchidnathat's because they are in the "Suggests" field, not the "Depends" field18:37
bobweaverahh correct I should move to Depends: ?18:38
micahgbobweaver: no18:38
bobweaverand use wrap-and-sort as it is hard to read as shown above18:38
micahgreportbug is mainly used as a command line tool18:38
bobweaverahh I see maybe make a metapackage called reportbug-gtk ?18:39
bobweaverif there is not one that is18:39
micahgbobweaver: that's a good idea, maybe discuss with the Debian maintainer18:39
bobweaverwill do micahg18:39
bobweaverthanks all =)18:40
bobweaveror change code to use session installer to install the dependency's of the gtk part I am off to find maintainer thanks again18:41
c_kornhello, can someone please explain to me what the problem is here when packaging "the powder toy"? I never saw such an error before: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=0VnBac3Z (building in a schroot of precise/i386)18:45
bobweaverIs that a naming error ?  for lib ?18:50
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
micahgno, they're both symlinks to the actual binary18:51
bobweavername of app is just powder ? I can not find anything called "the powder toy"18:53
c_kornit is precompiled. you can find it here: http://powdertoy.co.uk/18:54
bobweaverIt compiled and is there running for me19:04
bobweaverare you sure that you added build-deps ?19:04
bobweaverfrom http://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Compiling_for_Linux.html19:04
obounaimtrying to build a source package for virtualbox using "bzr bd -- -S" fails "dpkg-source: info: building virtualbox using existing ./virtualbox_4.1.18-dfsg.orig.tar.xz19:23
obounaimunxz: (stdin): Unexpected end of input"19:23
obounaimany ideas?19:28
micahgbad file?19:31
c_kornbobweaver: I used the compiled binary. maybe I should compile it from source19:36
bobweaverc_korn,  are you trying to build package ? If so then Yeah I would say that you are going to have to install from source. (But I am new at all this get others options =) )19:37
mfischLaney: I updated bug #1065637, I fixed the distroseries and deleted the patches19:44
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1065637 in tiff3 (Ubuntu) "please Update to 3.9.7 in R" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106563719:44
cjwatsonmfisch: you know that we already switched to 4.x for almost everything in 12.10, right?  seems odd to be putting much work into tiff3 at this point19:51
mfischcjwatson: no, I didn't know that, if that's the case, then we can ignore tiff319:52
cjwatsonit's still there for the odd legacy thing, but probably best to do most ongoing maintenance if any in Debian19:52
cjwatsonI think at least some of the cves were backported19:53
micahgthere are still 2 handfuls of reverse dependencies on tiff319:53
micahgor maybe 3 even19:53
cjwatsonyeah, those were accidentally missed19:53
cjwatsononly two packages red on the transition tracker though19:53
cjwatsonI think there might have been one reverted due to regression, I forget19:54
mfischthe new upstream fixes incorporates 3 of the CVEs19:54
mfischonly 1 left ATM19:54
