| cos-- | hello, about this issue https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/132840 | 12:09 |
| cos-- | is it really so that i need to create a new version of package (in debian/changelog) to get it to different series? | 12:09 |
| cos-- | i'd just like to release my app into all possible series without any changes | 12:12 |
| tsimpson | you can't have the same version of a package for different series unless the package is architecture independent iirc | 12:19 |
| cos-- | the only thing i need to do is to replace for example precise with quantal in changelog | 12:34 |
| cos-- | the version number can be same | 12:34 |
| cos-- | i don't understand the purpose of copy packages if it can't just copy the package in different series | 12:36 |
| persia | cos--: To do that, upload to the earliest series you support, and copy the package to each later series. | 12:36 |
| persia | cos--: Be warned that if your package relies on any libraries, the version provided by the different series may change, requiring a new upload. | 12:37 |
| cos-- | persia: i uploaded my packages to precise, but copying to quantal fails | 12:37 |
| persia | You need to also copy the binaries, or it doesn't work. | 12:38 |
| persia | And there's likely lots of bugs related to uploading things and later deleting them, leading to the complications described in the referenced question. | 12:38 |
| cos-- | i selected "rebuild the copied sources" as there may be changes in dependency libraries | 12:39 |
| persia | Right. You can't do that without a changelog entry. | 12:39 |
| cos-- | as a developer it's really annoying to have to modify changelog and upload for each series | 12:40 |
| cos-- | this should be handled by launchpad automatically | 12:40 |
| persia | On the other hand, sometimes you don't need to do it: I have a package in the archive with the same version (and same binaries) for oneiric, precise, quantal, and raring (and it works). | 12:40 |
| cos-- | my app uses Qt, so it should be more or less binary compatible. but i'd prefer rebuilding anyway. | 12:41 |
| persia | The design and intended audiences for PPAs changed a few times during the development, and seem now to be a compromise that almost work for most use cases. | 12:41 |
| persia | But I'm not the best person to defend the current state: I can only advise how to work around it. | 12:42 |
| cos-- | i hope the "upload to multiple series" feature will be implemented some day | 12:43 |
| cos-- | my app would work probably on all ubuntu versions with qt >= 4.5 but because of this issue i'm only uploading for precise & quantal | 12:44 |
| persia | It can't work with the current architecture of PPAs, so it's likely to be a very long time. If it's critical for you, it's probably easier to set up some sbuild instances and host a separate archive. | 12:44 |
| persia | The Qt folk make a very strong effort to preserve the compatibility: you're probably safe starting from the lowest version, and copying without rebuilding, although you might want to run tests on the results to verify the first time. | 12:45 |
| cos-- | i think it could be done. launchpad could just replace series name in changelog and build the package in each series | 12:45 |
| cos-- | and yes, i could write a script that does it but i think it still should be done by launchpad | 12:46 |
| persia | That would break the cryptographic model, where the signed upload is known to precisely match the build input | 12:46 |
| cos-- | it would, but i'd be happy to accept it | 12:47 |
| StevenK | Use recipes | 12:48 |
| persia | Ooh! Good point. | 12:48 |
| * persia always forgets about recipes | 12:49 | |
| cos-- | recipes? | 12:52 |
| cos-- | i suppose this.. https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/GettingStarted | 12:58 |
| tgm4883 | Can someone take care of the comment spam on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/609252/comments/2 | 16:39 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 609252 in mythtv (Ubuntu) "hauppage 1250 drivers not loaded correctly in mythbuntu" [Undecided,New] | 16:39 |
| tsimpson | tgm4883: probably better to ask on answers.launchpad.net/launchpad | 16:49 |
| tgm4883 | tsimpson, just did, thanks | 16:56 |
| JPeterson | can i change my launchpad id? | 17:06 |
| JPeterson | nice, it updated all my items | 17:07 |
| simplew | i have uploaded a package in ppa but i did delete it, now i cant upload a new one, i get an email saying the upload failed, how can now see the package version-release of the deleted package to be sure im uploading an incremented release of that packaged? | 22:38 |
