| theandromedan | What does one need to do to create a package of non-open source software that will be added to the universe or mulitverse repositories? | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| micahg | theandromedan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages | 01:04 |
| theandromedan | I read that watched the videos. | 01:05 |
| theandromedan | But there are some things I don't know. | 01:05 |
| theandromedan | Like can you build a package without a Source section? | 01:05 |
| theandromedan | Do I need to be a member of MOTU to have a package added? | 01:06 |
| theandromedan | Remember this is a closed source software. | 01:07 |
| theandromedan | The only reason I am looking into this is that a customer asked for my to add it as a package to Ubuntu. So I am looking into it. | 01:08 |
| theandromedan | It is a Java-based program. | 01:08 |
| theandromedan | So it will run under Ubuntu. | 01:08 |
| micahg | theandromedan: multiverse or you can talk to Canonical about including in the partner repo | 01:08 |
| micahg | theandromedan: as long as it's freely redistributable, you can put it in multiverse or Debian/non-free | 01:09 |
| theandromedan | There is a Debian/non-free? | 01:10 |
| theandromedan | According to the Wiki anything in the Debian needs to be open source. | 01:10 |
| micahg | yes, it's not "officially" part of Debian, but it's usually mirrored | 01:10 |
| theandromedan | Ah. | 01:10 |
| micahg | http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-non-free | 01:11 |
| theandromedan | Can I create Debian package using Ubuntu? | 01:14 |
| micahg | sure | 01:15 |
| theandromedan | Is there an IRC channel for helping with Debian package creation? | 01:19 |
| theandromedan | Does Ubuntu support the installation of Debian packages? | 01:20 |
| micahg | #ubuntu-packaging for generic help or here + #debian-mentors on OFTC for stuff that is targeted to the Ubuntu archive (the Debian channel is only for stuff going through Debian AIUI) | 01:21 |
| theandromedan | ok | 01:25 |

| Laney | man, tvtime is heavily ubuntu patched | 10:50 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, I wanted to comment on that | 10:51 |
| tumbleweed | this stuff belongs upstream | 10:51 |
| Laney | seems dead | 10:51 |
| Laney | I'm sure I remember suggesting he takes over / forks before | 10:51 |
| tumbleweed | yeah, sounds like it's needed | 10:51 |
| * Laney does so again | 10:54 | |
| dholbach | tumbleweed, Laney: tvtime and gnomeradio AFAIK - our contributor is in touch with the debian maintainer to figure out what the future might be - I suggested forking before already | 11:11 |
| Laney | ah, gnomeradio rings a bell | 11:12 |
| Laney | is that the same guy? | 11:12 |
| dholbach | yes IIRC | 11:12 |
| Laney | yeah, 'tis | 11:13 |
| Laney | good, well I'm glad a few of us are on the same page | 11:13 |
| xnox | Laney: now that google reader is going away i'm potentially switching to gwene.org to do rss archiving, and reading them via nntp with Gnus or with Thunderbird (evaluating) | 11:41 |
| Laney | gwene? | 11:42 |
| Laney | never 'eard of it | 11:42 |
| tumbleweed | RSS -> NNTP. sounds like the future | 11:44 |
| xnox | Laney: it's what gmane is to mailing lists: archival + interface to read them over nntp/web/blog-like/rss interfaces. | 11:45 |
| * xnox finds it funny how it offers _full_ archive over rss | 11:46 | |
| Laney | let me know how you get on | 11:47 |
| Laney | I was pondering looking for a good native client | 11:47 |
| * tumbleweed is happy with newsblur (non-native) | 11:48 | |
| Laney | yeah, android app would be good | 11:49 |
| * tumbleweed can't handle using machines without full-size keyboards for anything significant | 11:50 | |
| tumbleweed | I have a newsblur client on my phone, but never ues it | 11:50 |
| Laney | keyboard for reading? | 11:50 |
| tumbleweed | :P | 11:51 |
| tumbleweed | larger screen for reading | 11:51 |
| tumbleweed | and I skim a lot, so yes, keyboard helps | 11:51 |
| Laney | 'n' is good, but I can also get used to swiping to skip | 11:52 |
| Laney | nexus 7 is pretty good for it IME | 11:52 |
| highvoltage | newsblur does look pretty nice indeed. | 12:00 |
| Laney | mmm | 12:01 |
| xnox | "Thanks for all the supportive tweets and emails today. NewsBlur has experienced 15x its normal daily traffic in only 1/4 of a day." | 12:18 |
| xnox | I guess they need to scale a little, it's a bit slow at the moment. | 12:18 |
| aboudreault | any debian packager that knows well cmake here? | 13:55 |
| ScottK | aboudreault: It's better just to ask your question. | 13:56 |
| aboudreault | kk | 13:56 |
| aboudreault | I'm creating a package with a cmake build system. I would like to preserve the current natural behavior of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr (or /usr/local). However, I need a way to place some files in /etc/xxx | 13:57 |
| aboudreault | using DESTINATION /etc/xxx is not an option since I need things to be in debian/tmp/etc/ | 13:58 |
| aboudreault | any hint? | 13:58 |
| aboudreault | maybe cmake shouldn't do anything with /etc .. will put that in prefix/share and copy manually I think. | 14:03 |
