| Bluefoxicy | Is 13.04 beyond feature freeze? | 03:29 |
|---|---|---|
| Bluefoxicy | I'm trying to find out if some packages can get promoted to main and added to tasksel | 03:29 |
| jbicha | Bluefoxicy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseSchedule | 03:39 |
| Bluefoxicy | Don't know the difference between FeatureDefinitionFreeze and FeatureFreeze | 03:40 |
| Bluefoxicy | oh | 03:41 |
| Bluefoxicy | red links don't mean "not in wiki" | 03:41 |
| * Bluefoxicy confused by the non-standard color scheme! | 03:41 | |
| Bluefoxicy | Hmm, I guess then for 13.10 this is a target. | 03:42 |
| jbicha | definitionfreeze is just for planning, MIRs can still be considered for 13.04 | 03:44 |
| jbicha | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess | 03:44 |
| Bluefoxicy | jbicha: at a cursory glance, looks good. | 03:47 |
| Bluefoxicy | the packages in question are puppet and puppetmaster | 03:47 |
| Bluefoxicy | these appear to be maintained fairly well in Debian, and fairly popular in the field. In fact they're in Ubuntu Universe as a direct import from Debian, I believe. | 03:48 |
| Bluefoxicy | it does however rely on a number of Ruby packages. | 03:49 |
| Bluefoxicy | Heh I should actually go through this later when I have time. Maybe find someone familiar with the process to help me keep on track. Possibly next week. | 03:50 |
| bjsnider | jbicha, who would i talk to to find out some technical info about globalmenu? | 03:51 |
| bjsnider | who designed it? | 03:51 |
| Bluefoxicy | heh I'm dumb | 04:32 |
| Bluefoxicy | it's already in main. | 04:32 |

| uKev | hi, anyone who can help my try a patch from launchpad? I'm fimiliar with the normal patch syntax, but I'm a bit confused about the patch/build debian/ubuntu world | 23:30 |
| uKev | how can I apply a patch to a ubuntu package and then build it? | 23:30 |
| uKev | I get the source with apt-get source packagename | 23:31 |
| uKev | the patch was created using debdiff I guess | 23:31 |
| jtaylor | a debdiff applies like a normal patch on the unpacked packag esource | 23:32 |
| jtaylor | assuming you have the right version | 23:32 |
| jtaylor | cd extracted-source; patch -p1 <patchfile | 23:32 |
| uKev | but patch prints some error, because there is some kind of changelog on top of the diff | 23:34 |
| uKev | (I'm developer, but not from the ubuntu world) | 23:34 |
| uKev | I've read through the ubuntu packaging wiki pages | 23:34 |
| uKev | there was an example on howto create such a patch | 23:35 |
| jtaylor | if its just the changelog you can remove that part from the patch | 23:35 |
| uKev | but not on howto test (and build) with it | 23:35 |
| jtaylor | which package and where is the patch? | 23:35 |
| uKev | yes, right, bit I was woundering if there isn't any automatic-tool to do such stuff as it looks like ubuntu has a lot of helper scripts | 23:35 |
| penguin42 | uKev: Get the dependencies using apt-get build-dep package name and then in the tree to dpkg-buildpackage | 23:35 |
| jtaylor | not that I know of | 23:35 |
| jtaylor | for more complex patches usually some vcs is used | 23:36 |
| jtaylor | like git | 23:36 |
| uKev | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-games/+bug/995281/+attachment/3166590/+files/04_fix-segfault.patch | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 995281 in gnome-games (Ubuntu) "glines segfault" [Medium,Triaged] | 23:36 |
| uKev | from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-games/+bug/995281 | 23:36 |
| jtaylor | ok that is no debdiff | 23:36 |
| jtaylor | its a patch of the original sources which works differently | 23:36 |
| uKev | yes, I gut the dependencies (that was mentioned in the wiki, so I used apt-get build-dep) | 23:36 |
| uKev | I got+ | 23:36 |
| uKev | so I apply that patch in some way and just dpkg-buildpackage? | 23:38 |
| jtaylor | hm that patch seems malformed | 23:38 |
| jtaylor | how to handle patches for the upstream sources depend on the package | 23:39 |
| jtaylor | this one is a 3.0 package, so patches are handled via quilt | 23:40 |
| uKev | but that patch mentions the ubuntu packages, gnome-games-3.4.1 - isn't that right? | 23:40 |
| jtaylor | you normally would extract the source package, and just run quilt push -a; quilt import <patchfile> | 23:40 |
| jtaylor | and the build the package | 23:40 |
| uKev | 3.0 package? what's that? | 23:40 |
| jtaylor | its just the package source format | 23:41 |
| bjsnider | source format | 23:41 |
| jtaylor | there are three, 1.0 which is pretty much free form and the patch system can be anything (including nonexistant) | 23:41 |
| jtaylor | 3.0 for non debian specific packages uses quilt for patch management | 23:41 |
| bjsnider | quilt is so easy to use a monkey could be trained in it | 23:41 |
| jtaylor | which boils down to a folder with the patches and a file defining the ordering | 23:41 |
| jtaylor | see debian/patches | 23:42 |
| penguin42 | bjsnider: But you don't even need to - there is edit-patch | 23:43 |
| * penguin42 likes edit-patch | 23:43 | |
| uKev | yes, I read about edit-patch in the wiki | 23:44 |
| uKev | but I didn't found anything about quilt/package format versions | 23:44 |
| uKev | I find it quite difficult to get into all that kind of stuff | 23:44 |
| uKev | but I will keep trying | 23:44 |
| uKev | so I use edit-patch or quilt to apply it... how would I build it then? dpkg-buildpackage? | 23:45 |
| jtaylor | yes | 23:48 |
| jtaylor | dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc if you have no gpg key | 23:48 |
| penguin42 | it's a pity patches take so long to go around the mill | 23:49 |
| uKev | ok thanks a lot. I will try that. | 23:51 |
| uKev | If I can verify that the patch solves the issue. I put a comment below it that the patch will work. | 23:51 |
| jtaylor | this patch should actually work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1465834/ | 23:51 |
| jtaylor | import it with quilt import | 23:51 |
| uKev | How do I get someone to integrate the patch into ubuntu? | 23:51 |
| jtaylor | thats the hard part :) | 23:51 |
| jtaylor | that its not upstream makes it even harder :/ | 23:53 |
| penguin42 | it'd be relatively easy to make a bzr branch with the fix in, but would it get merged if upstream haven't taken it? | 23:54 |
| uKev | currently the package is completely broken on 32bit... and it's quite widely used (as it's installed per default) | 23:54 |
| jtaylor | first ubuntu sponsors should be subscribed | 23:54 |
| jtaylor | that puts it onto the queue | 23:54 |
| jtaylor | first it must be fixed in raring, which is easy | 23:54 |
| jtaylor | then follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 23:54 |
| penguin42 | jtaylor: Can sponsors be subscribed if it's just a patch, or does it need to be bzr'd first? | 23:55 |
| uKev | what is "raring"? | 23:55 |
| jtaylor | the development 13.10 release | 23:55 |
| jtaylor | 130.04 | 23:55 |
| uKev | ah ok. | 23:55 |
| jtaylor | penguin42: a full patch would be good | 23:55 |
| jtaylor | but as there is already a patch a sponsor could fill in the packaging busywork | 23:56 |
| jtaylor | depends on the sponsor | 23:56 |
| jtaylor | I'd do it but its main, so I can't touch it | 23:56 |
| jtaylor | but I could create the branch unless uKev wants to do it himself? | 23:57 |
| jtaylor | let me dig out my 32 bit netbook | 23:57 |
| uKev | I just want to have it fixed at the end... :) | 23:57 |
| penguin42 | 32bit vms are easier :-) | 23:57 |
| uKev | yes, I'm installing it in my 32bit vm at the moment... | 23:57 |
| jtaylor | I'd use a 32 bit chroot with X | 23:57 |
| jtaylor | but I forgot how to get X to start in it ._. | 23:58 |
| jtaylor | booting my netbook is faster :) | 23:58 |
