[12:24] <saiarcot895> There's a package in a PPA called my-weather-indicator that was built as a native package; shouldn't it be non-native?
[12:36] <tsimpson> probably, but that's up to the packager
[15:09] <pmjdebru1jn> hi folks
[15:10] <pmjdebru1jn> I have an issue where upstream changed a release tarball (because of a release error)
[15:10] <pmjdebru1jn> except that I already pushed the initial faulty tarball to my ppa
[15:10] <pmjdebru1jn> now I can't upload the "correct" one
[15:10] <pmjdebru1jn> would I need to do a repack reversioned tarball?
[15:10] <pmjdebru1jn> deleted the "wrong" packages doesn't seem to allow the new tarball
[15:10] <pmjdebru1jn> deleting*
[15:15] <mapreri> pmjdebru1jn: afaik you have to upload the new one with a different version, since lp doesn't accept two source package with the same version (even if you delete one first, lp remember everything ;P)
[15:18] <pmjdebru1jn> mapreri: sure, typically that makes sense
[15:18] <pmjdebru1jn> I'm dealing with a misbehaving upstream :(
[15:18] <pmjdebru1jn> so 0.19 is the current version, so I'd have do so 0.19repack1 or something like that
[15:19] <pmjdebru1jn> do so/to do
[15:19]  * pmjdebru1jn wonders if there's an official procedure for this
[15:19] <pmjdebru1jn> +repack seems common
[15:20] <mapreri> pmjdebru1jn: eheh, not all upstream are developer-friendly ;) I suggest you to upload an 0.19-1 or something like your idea
[15:20] <mapreri> yeah. even +repack is ok, but I don't like to see it (personally opinion, of course). You are dealing with a ppa, so you can call your software version as you prefer
[15:21] <pmjdebru1jn> I don't like it either :)
[15:21] <pmjdebru1jn> this isn't about liking anything :)
[15:21] <pmjdebru1jn> but
[15:21] <pmjdebru1jn> my debian version is already higher
[15:21] <pmjdebru1jn> and it won't accept
[15:21] <pmjdebru1jn> so I guess the upstream tarball needs renaming
[15:21] <pmjdebru1jn> well reversioning
[15:21] <pmjdebru1jn> at least +repack0 seems common-ish
[15:22] <pmjdebru1jn> so would be something like 0.19repack0-0ubuntu1pmjdebruijn1~precise :D
[15:23] <mapreri> omg -.- the lp versiong is horrible sometimes
[15:23] <mapreri> versioning*
[15:23] <pmjdebru1jn> well partially it's forced
[15:24] <pmjdebru1jn> so... :(
[15:24] <mapreri> you right...
[15:24] <pmjdebru1jn> I always add teh pmjdebruijn tag to make it easy to identify my packages
[15:24] <pmjdebru1jn> so that's just a practical thing too
[15:25] <pmjdebru1jn> and ~precise is required to have the same package for several dists
[15:25] <pmjdebru1jn> anyhow, it's workable nontheless
[15:25] <pmjdebru1jn> it's least there's some logic to it
[15:26] <pmjdebru1jn> anyhow, thanks
[15:27] <mapreri> there is some logic, but the logic is for machines, not for humans ;)
[21:46] <cjwatson> mapreri: eh, this isn't lp versioning, it's self-inflicted :P
