[00:53] <pleia2> philballew: about?
[00:54] <pleia2> philballew: there is a mailing list post that needs to go to the fridge :)
[00:54] <pleia2> lots of bullet points and formatting needed, good one to learn with
[00:55] <pleia2> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-November/036144.html
[00:55] <pleia2> (could just do the first portion though, since the report is a pdf)
[00:56] <pleia2> philballew: to start off, you'll want to pull down the uwn scro[ts at https://code.launchpad.net/uwn
[00:56] <pleia2> scripts
=== gonyere_ is now known as gonyere
[02:03] <pleia2> working on some of the last summaries, if someone else could pop into the doc to help that'd be great :)
[02:15] <pleia2> hey philballew!
[02:15] <pleia2> want to do a fridge post? :)
[02:18] <philipballew> pleia2, yeah
[02:18] <philipballew> whatever I can help with
[02:19] <pleia2> philipballew: ok, first pull down the code from https://code.launchpad.net/uwn
[02:19] <pleia2> with bzr
[02:19] <philipballew> alright, bzr branch lp:uwn I think
[02:20] <pleia2> yeah, you don't need to set up bzr or log in anything since you're just doing a read-only anonymous pull of the branch
[02:20] <philipballew> alright, well I pulled the branch from lp
[02:21] <pleia2> great, cd into uwn/fridge
[02:21] <philipballew> done
[02:21] <pleia2> you'll see 3 perl scripts, you want to open ml2fridge.pl
[02:21] <philipballew> alright
[02:21] <pleia2> you'll see:
[02:21] <pleia2> my $o = WordPress::XMLRPC->new({ username => 'FRIDGE USERNAME GOES HERE', password => 'FRIDGE PASSWORD GOES HERE', proxy => 'http://fridge.ubuntu.com/xmlrpc.php',
[02:21] <pleia2> });
[02:21] <pleia2> (bad paste, that's actually on several lines)
[02:21] <pleia2> hope that's self-explanatory :)
[02:22] <philipballew> yeah, I opened that up in nano
[02:23] <pleia2> once you add the username and password, you can close the file
[02:24] <philipballew> pleia2, alright. seems easy enough
[02:24] <pleia2> then: sudo apt-get install libwww-perl libtext-unidecode-perl
[02:24] <philipballew> have not used perl in a while
[02:25] <pleia2> :)
[02:25] <pleia2> you'll also need WordPress::XMLRPC, but unfortunately there isn't a package for that, have to install via cpan
[02:25] <philipballew> never herd of cpan?
[02:26] <pleia2> we'll walk through that too :) it's like apt for perl
[02:26] <philipballew> should I have?
[02:26] <philipballew> ah, I see
[02:26] <pleia2> after that apt-get install is done, type: cpan
[02:26] <pleia2> in a terminal
[02:26] <pleia2> you'll be asked a bunch of questions, defaults are fine
[02:27] <philipballew> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1369259/
[02:27] <philipballew> so just do yes?
[02:27] <philipballew> you might like my laptops name...
[02:27] <pleia2> yes
[02:27] <pleia2> no need to pastebin everything, it'll ask several questions probably :)
[02:27] <philipballew> alright. sweet then
[02:28] <philipballew> What approach I you want?  (Choose 'local::lib', 'sudo' or 'manual')
[02:28] <philipballew>  [local::lib] ?
[02:29] <philipballew> Id just run it as root myself, but do I need something special for this setup?
[02:29] <pleia2> just hit enter, the option in brackets is the default
[02:29] <pleia2> default for everything is fine
[02:30] <philipballew> ah, alright then
[02:31] <philipballew> everything seems to be there pleia2
[02:31] <philipballew> now I install then with cpan
[02:32] <pleia2> ok great, now you're at a cpan prompt?
[02:32] <pleia2> type: install WordPress::XMLRPC
[02:32] <philipballew> yeah, im there
[02:33] <pleia2> it'll ask you if you want to install dependencies for a bit, just keep saying yes
[02:33] <philipballew> alright, its running some stuff
[02:33] <pleia2> nhandler: maybe we should track down this critter? :) http://packages.qa.debian.org/libw/libwordpress-xmlrpc-perl.html
[02:34] <pleia2> nhandler: if it's not impossible to get back into debian, it would be good
[02:35] <pleia2> philipballew: it needs some baby-sitting, just keep an eye on it and "yes" when things come up, pastebin if you land on any fatal errors
[02:35] <pleia2> (it should go ok though, just did this with JoseeAntonioR a couple months back)
[02:36] <philipballew> pleia2, error
[02:36] <philipballew> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1369269/
[02:38] <pleia2> blah
[02:38] <pleia2> ok, we may need to use sudo :(
[02:38] <pleia2> quit and run: sudo cpan
[02:38] <pleia2> rinse and repeat
[02:39] <philipballew> alright
[02:41] <philipballew> are you rested yet pleia2 ?
[02:41] <philipballew> traveling the world and all?
[02:41] <pleia2> haha, yeah :) feeling much better
[02:41] <philipballew> nice. well it's installed.
[02:41] <pleia2> woohoo
[02:41] <pleia2> ok, quit that
[02:42]  * philipballew dances 
[02:42] <pleia2> now the moment of truth, in the uwn/fridge directory type:
[02:42] <pleia2> perl ml2fridge.pl https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-November/036144.html
[02:43] <philipballew> How do I know if i worked?
[02:44] <pleia2> did it give any errors?
[02:44] <philipballew> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1369281/
[02:44] <philipballew> might of
[02:45] <philipballew> let me make sure I entered login stuff right
[02:45] <pleia2> # WordPress::XMLRPC::newPost() - ERROR faultString, Bad login/pass combination.
[02:45] <pleia2> yeah
[02:46] <philipballew> I have to many passwords to remember
[02:46] <pleia2> hehe
[02:47] <philipballew> I think i never changed it from the temp one I got. Just did
[02:47] <pleia2> woohoo
[02:47] <pleia2> ok, now log into fridge
[02:47] <philipballew> seems good
[02:48] <philipballew> done
[02:48] <pleia2> once you're logged in, go to the "Posts" link
[02:48] <pleia2> you'll see your post as a draft :)
[02:48] <pleia2> click on "Edit" under your post (I'm sure you're familiar with wordpress?)
[02:49] <philipballew> pretty femular. I have a blog there.
[02:49] <pleia2> at this point you'll typically want to come in here and say: hey akgraner, nhandler, pleia2 - someone look at my draft!
[02:49] <pleia2> and tell us what it is :)
[02:49] <philipballew> *familiar
[02:49] <pleia2> so I'm looking at your previewed post now
[02:49] <philipballew> What kind of things should I post?
[02:49] <pleia2> we'll get to that in a moment
[02:50] <pleia2> you need to make a few changes to this post
[02:50] <pleia2> first - the line wrapping is bad, you'll want to remove the line breaks that happen within a paragraph so there are only two paragraphs
[02:50] <philipballew> oh, well cant I just log in from the site with the ui and post that way?
[02:50] <pleia2> (it always does this with mailing lists posts)
[02:51] <pleia2> yeah, but the script does the citation and all the link formatting for you, much easier!
[02:51] <pleia2> we like scripts making our lives easier :)
[02:51] <philipballew> hum, interesting.
[02:52] <pleia2> let me know once you've fixed line breaks
[02:53] <philipballew> done
[02:53] <pleia2> can you save the draft?
[02:54] <pleia2> (only one line fix is showing up on my preview)
[02:54] <philipballew> saved
[02:54] <pleia2> ok, you'll want to fix the first paragraph too :)
[02:55] <philipballew> oh, thought I did
[02:56] <pleia2> you can click "preview" at any time to see what it looks like to see if it's all wrapping properly
[02:56] <philipballew> ah, yeah. I can thats true
[02:56] <pleia2> ok, looks good! next...
[02:56] <pleia2> also, since this was a plain text email they needed to use [1] and [2] to reference links, this is a webpage so we don't need to those, you can move the links for those
[02:57] <pleia2> so you'll want to move up the one for the Ubuntu Developer Advisory Team up, so like:
[02:57] <pleia2> Over the past development cycle, the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperAdvisoryTeam">Ubuntu Developer Advisory Team</a> reached...
[02:57] <pleia2> instead of having the [1] down below
[02:57] <philipballew> ah, alright. I see that
[02:58] <pleia2> you can also do: It is also available as <a href="http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/d-a-t/12.10Feedback-Contributors.pdf">a PDF</a>.
[02:58] <pleia2> and delete the [2]
[02:58] <philipballew> I dont know html
[02:58] <pleia2> it's just copy and pasting :)
[02:59] <philipballew> alright, lets see what I need to do here
[03:30] <pleia2> philipballew: we're not done!
[03:31] <philipballew> pleia2, ah, well then
[03:31] <philipballew> Can I look at this in a couple or is this not gonna take a super amount of time?
[03:32] <philipballew> unless you know someone who loves to help people write java code?
[03:32] <pleia2> I can fix it if needed
[03:32] <pleia2> just the change I mentioned above
[03:32] <philipballew> alright. Lets check this out
[03:35] <philipballew> pleia2, think i am not getting the html thing
[03:36] <pleia2> ok, can you save and get out of it, I'll make the edits and you can look at how I moved the links
[03:36] <philipballew> alright. I always just use the ui and do "insert links"
[03:39] <pleia2> ok, published
[03:40] <pleia2> you can view the post now - you'll see I just moved the links as I described in channel earlier
[03:41] <pleia2> enjoy homework time :)
[03:41] <philipballew> yeah, thats what I want to be doing on a Sunday night!
[03:41] <pleia2> hehe
[03:41] <philipballew> well. Its only a two day week.
[03:41] <pleia2> lucky, 4 days for me (only get Thursday off)
[03:42] <philipballew> ah, I finish class at 7:45 tuesday night and am on a plane to sac at 9:30.
[03:42] <philipballew> Enjoy your day off though
[03:43]  * pleia2 will eat some turkey!
[03:43] <philipballew> bye bye
[03:59] <Unit193> I did, was good. ;)
[03:59] <pleia2> Unit193: wanna link check? :D
[03:59] <pleia2> (haha, I see you!)
[04:00] <Unit193> Sure.
[04:00] <Unit193> Back anyway.
[04:03] <pleia2> ok, it's off to the editors
[04:21] <nhandler> pleia2: I can look a bit. A quick check just now shows that cpan has an older version than what was previously in Debian. I will look into where Debian was pulling the package from and see if that source has a newer version that addresses the previous issues causing it to be removed. Regardless, there is no reason we can't toss it up in a PPA somewhere
[04:27] <nhandler> Ignore what I said about cpan, I was looking at the wrong page
[04:35] <Unit193> pleia2: Seems good.
[06:22] <pleia2> nhandler: thanks, it seemed like it was a once-off manual package that never went anywhere but I didn't look very hard, I am worried it's going to end up being something with a bunch of unpackaged dependencies, which I'd be willing to help with as a project but :)
[06:22] <pleia2> Unit193: thank you!
[07:59] <dholbach> good morning
[09:52] <vibhav> Thanks philipballew
[09:52] <philipballew> vibhav, I try.
[09:53] <philipballew> Hows your day going vibhav ?
[09:53] <vibhav> Also, I think you should remove the "full text is available below"
[09:53]  * vibhav just arrived from school
[09:53] <philipballew> oh cool. I live at school
[09:53] <vibhav> They're draining me
[09:53] <vibhav> Exams, exams and exams
[09:53] <vibhav> My school is kinda famous for that :)
[09:54] <philipballew> Im really stressed as well. Im trying to do a java project for school
[09:54] <vibhav> Cool, we learn java at school too
[09:55] <philipballew> oh nice. I am trying to ask a user for the number of students they have in a class then ask for the grades of all these by using an array
[09:56] <philipballew> confusing vibhav , but might get it soon
[09:57] <vibhav> That's easy
[09:58] <vibhav> Do you want the code? I can do that
[09:58] <philipballew> vibhav, sure if you wanna help. let me type out exactly what I am doing. wait 2 minutes
[09:59] <vibhav> Sure
[10:00] <vibhav> Could I PM you?
[10:01] <vibhav> (we might be causing some traffic here :))
[10:01] <philipballew> vibhav, yeah
[14:25] <nhandler> pleia2: Unpackaged dependencies are easy enough to sort out (especially for perl modules). The only tricky area is if this module (or one of its dependencies) is not suitable for Debian (whether due to bugs or copyright/license issues)
