[16:01] <mightyiam> i'm getting an A-level annoyance on desktop. has to do with online accounts facebook i assume. this opens up once in a few minutes! http://picpaste.com/facebook-JOS0682U.png
[16:07] <mitya57> mightyiam: please file a bug, most developers are not here on sunday
[16:08] <Laney> It's already filed
[16:09] <Laney> e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center-signon/+bug/1180297
[16:38] <mitya57> and it seems we already have a work-around ready for merge: https://code.launchpad.net/~mardy/account-plugins/facebook-http/+merge/150272
[18:41] <NikTh> Hello, I'm stuck. :-) Newbie to the ubuntu-devel world. Not a programmer, but I want to fix a bug (I reported). I know the fix, but I cannot use the branch to do the changes. Here is the bug #1156306
[18:42] <tumbleweed> NikTh: the kernel package is kind of special. They use git, for a start
[18:43] <NikTh> I'm following of this tutorial : http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/fixing-a-bug.html and I've stuck to the section "Work on a Fix".
[18:44] <mitya57> NikTh: I think you should use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/KernelGitGuide instead
[18:45] <NikTh> mitya57, tumbleweed : Thanks ! I will give it a shot .
[18:45] <mitya57> (but if you already have a patch, simply attaching it to a bug should help)
[18:59] <NikTh> I attached the patch to the bug. OK. Now another question: What if I want to upload the kernel patched version to my personal packaging archive ? (PPA). Can I do that ?
[19:00] <NikTh> My PPA is up and running.. but no packages are in there.. nothing.
[19:02] <mitya57> NikTh: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading
[20:29] <NikTh> What is the usually time for a package to be build onsite (Launchpad) and appearing in a PPA ? (assume the package is linux-image)
[20:31] <NikTh> .dsc , .diff.gz and source.changes have been uploaded correctly (done, done, done) in Launchpad via dput command. When the package will be available in my PPA ?
[20:36] <Laney> hmm, I got a conffile prompt to create /etc/init.d/networking
[20:37]  * Laney files it instead
[20:41] <tumbleweed> NikTh: you get an e-mail within 5 mins, when the upload is accepted. The build time varies by package - and right now there's a 6 hour queue - https://launchpad.net/builders
[20:43] <NikTh> I did something wrong.. tumbleweed . LoL. e-mail says "PPA uploads must be for the RELEASE pocket." Rejected !
[20:43] <NikTh> dmn
[20:45] <NikTh> Ok, here is the deal. 1) I downloaded the source package , 2) I've made the changes to the code , 3) I 've made the changes to changeslog file (dsc -i) 4)debuild the packages signed with my gpg key
[20:46] <NikTh> Then used the dput command to upload the source.changes file. What did I miss ?
[20:46] <NikTh> And the package actually is the linux-image (for raring)
[20:47] <NikTh> The initial goal here is to upload to my PPA the linux-image patched.
[20:49] <Laney> NikTh: what's the first line of your debian/changelog?
[20:49] <Laney> If you have raring-<something> you should change it to just raring (or whatever release you're uploading to).
[20:52] <NikTh> Laney: This is the first line " linux (3.8.0-21.32ubuntu1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low"
[20:54] <infinity> NikTh: s/UNRELEASED/raring/
[20:55] <infinity> NikTh: It may or may not actually build with that version number, mind you.  Have you tested it locally?
[20:57] <NikTh> infinity: No, I haven't tested it locally. I'm pretty sure for the fix. But this specific package I did not build it locally. Maybe I need to change the version number ?
[20:58] <NikTh> eg: linux (3.8.0-21-ubuntu1) to linux (3.8.0-21-ubuntu1-ppa1) ?
[20:59] <infinity> NikTh: Adding more dashes is almost certain to break the kernel's build system. ;)
[21:00] <infinity> NikTh: 3.8.0-21.32~nikth1 is likely to work vaguely sanely, but it's still worth testbuilding locally.  PPAs are for test-building, they're for distributing.
[21:00] <infinity> s/are for/aren't for/
[21:00] <NikTh> Yes but I think I must rename (versioning) the package. This is a must (I thing) to upload correctly in PPA
[21:01] <infinity> You don't *have* to re-version it, it's just nice to not have something the same as one in the archive.
[21:01] <infinity> Like I said, 3.8.0-21.32~nikth1 should work, but please test locally.
[21:01] <NikTh> infinity: Ok, I will test it and I will use the 3.8.0-21.32~nikth1 as you said.
[21:01] <NikTh> Thanks
[22:58] <cjwatson> mdeslaur,SpamapS: you two changed php5 last; do you think you could merge it?  it's part of a library transition (libgd2 -> libgd3), and I also don't desperately want to be touched-it-last for php5 ;-)
[23:01] <cjwatson> Oh, and it's part of the libsnmp15 -> libsnmp30 transition too, so two reasons to get it sorted out ASAP
[23:04] <mdeslaur> cjwatson: sure, I'll do it
[23:04] <cjwatson> Thanks
