| FlowRiser | Hello, folks :) So, i'm told that in order to upload a package to the archive i need help and mentoring from a MOTU. I'll start by saying i'm new (4-5 months of Linux) and i have never packaged anything for Linux, but i have made a LightDM greeter without using any KDE libs(only Qt4 ones, that mostly are already included into Ubuntu) that is highly themable and very easy to do so. | 07:51 |
|---|---|---|
| FlowRiser | That being said, is someone willing to help me ? Here's an example of a theme(with resources from the LoL game): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBFlNp13MQ0 | 07:52 |
| FlowRiser | Is it worth continuing down this path (using no KDE libs) or should i just merge my effort with the guys working on the kde-lightdm greeter ? | 07:54 |
| tumbleweed | FlowRiser: these aren't really questions that most MOTUs can answer. I'd suggest #kubuntu-devel | 07:57 |
| FlowRiser | tumbleweed, i know, i'm just wondering about | 08:03 |
| FlowRiser | if someone is willing to install a greeter for let's say, ubuntu 12.04 (unity+compiz) would they also want to install KDE libs ? | 08:04 |
| tumbleweed | I'd assume not | 08:06 |
| FlowRiser | tumbleweed, then it isn't kubuntu related. And i've talked with d_ed, who's working on their kde-greeter and i've looked at his source-code and it's aimed highly at Kubuntu | 08:07 |
| jokerdino | hey, is there any procedure to get a package into ubuntu / universe without it being in debian? the package is pretty specific to ubuntu (it is a Unity configuration tool if that helps) | 09:05 |
| jokerdino | i would like if i could get it into repo for 13.04 before the feature freeze | 09:05 |
| tumbleweed | jokerdino: yes, there is. Package it, and find a MOTU to review and sponsor it | 09:12 |
| tumbleweed | if it's a unity configuration tool, I'd run it by the desktop people, first | 09:12 |

| jokerdino | we have an experimental package while the backend isn't fully done. | 09:13 |
| jokerdino | i suppose once we finish it, i look for a MOTU | 09:13 |
| jokerdino | tumbleweed: so, i ask the people in #ubuntu-desktop first? | 09:14 |
| tumbleweed | Well, I don't think we want a configuration tool that's going to break unity, in the archive. So I assume they should look over the things it's going to tweak | 09:15 |
| jokerdino | fair enough. we are just tweaking using the gsettings API | 09:16 |
| tumbleweed | be aware that we had myunity in the archive in the past, but had to drop it when it hadn't been updated to support quantal | 09:18 |
| jokerdino | yep. i heard of that. | 09:19 |
| jokerdino | in 12.04 (when myunity was in archive), half the settings were in gconf and it wasn | 09:19 |
| jokerdino | *it wasn't updated when the settings migrated to gsettings. | 09:19 |
| jokerdino | while our tool pretty much just deals with the post-gsettings migration. | 09:20 |
| jokerdino | anyway, thanks for your input. i'll get in touch with the desktop devs. :) | 09:21 |

| andi3 | hi, i'm configuring mini-buildd, when I upload package it fails with: "'Unknown distribution "unstable" in[..]". Do you use mini-buildd to build ubuntu packages? | 18:39 |
| andi3 | ubuntu doesn't seem to change Distribution field (e.g. in changes file) | 18:40 |
| andi3 | What is a best approach to solve it? (what is a login behind it, e.g. is the correct solution to ignore it in mini-buildd?) | 18:45 |

| vagrantc | i'm curious if folks think an SRU for pithos is appropriate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pithos/+bug/1093865 | 20:07 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1093865 in pithos (Ubuntu) "pithos needs to be updated in precise" [Undecided,New] | 20:07 |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| tumbleweed | vagrantc: sure, there's no benefit to not SRUing it | 20:21 |
| vagrantc | i'm pretty unfamiliar with ubuntu processes, so just looking for guidance or people to nudge it towards the next steps | 20:22 |
| vagrantc | can't even figure out how to tag the affected bug versions/ubuntu releases in launchpad | 20:23 |
| tumbleweed | I think one needs to be an ubuntu bug-control member to do that (the page is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pithos/+bug/1093865/+nominate ) | 20:24 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1093865 in pithos (Ubuntu Precise) "pithos needs to be updated in precise" [Undecided,New] | 20:24 |
| tumbleweed | I've nominated it for precise | 20:24 |
| vagrantc | ah, thanks! | 20:24 |
| tumbleweed | the SRU paperwork looks good, so it's just a matter of preparing the upload | 20:25 |
| vagrantc | is that something i should take on? | 20:26 |
| vagrantc | (what upload privs are needed?) | 20:27 |
| tumbleweed | any MOTU can upload it | 20:29 |
| tumbleweed | you could prepare an upload, which they could sponsor | 20:29 |
| tumbleweed | but if your plan is to just backport the quantal version, that doesn't sound like much work | 20:29 |
| vagrantc | yeah, it's just rebuilding the newer version on precise. | 20:30 |
| tumbleweed | I'm about to go to bed, so I won't look at it now, although I will leave a tab open for tomorrow / the weekend / who knows when | 20:30 |
| vagrantc | the debdiff would be pretty ugly | 20:30 |
| vagrantc | tumbleweed: thanks! | 20:30 |
| tumbleweed | np | 20:30 |
| mapreri | I need only to check if a package i made is [ubuntu|debain] policy compliant.. can someone look at me? :) the link to all files is https://dl.dropbox.com/s/nvn1zn59fh93gv1/bk_5-pkg.tar.gz?dl=1 | 20:41 |
