[06:22] <Noskcaj> How do i set up a launchpad autobuilder?
[06:45] <dholbach> good morning
[06:52] <Noskcaj> afternoon dholbach
[06:53] <dholbach> hi Noskcaj
[07:57] <ffio> are their any videos for leanring ubuntu packaging ?
[07:58] <Rhonda> There are wiki pages about it.  Not sure if dholbach (or someone else) did some packaging tutorial video
[07:58] <Noskcaj> ffio, some old ones from dholbach, it think there's others
[07:59] <Noskcaj> if you have questions, we're more than willing to help
[07:59] <ffio> Rhonda: i followed wiki, but it would be good to see some video tutorials to get more better understanding.
[07:59] <ffio> Noskcaj: thanks you so much :)
[07:59] <dholbach> the video are quite old
[07:59] <dholbach> developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/ is probably a better start
[08:00] <ffio> dholbach: currently i am following the same link.
[08:00] <dholbach> cool
[08:00] <dholbach> I won't have time for quite a while to update any videos
[08:01] <ffio> dholbach: would be useful to watch the videos ? as they are old ?
[08:01] <dholbach> probably not too much
[08:01] <ffio> ok
[08:03] <Noskcaj> ffio, A good place to start is the MoM. it's at merges.ubuntu.com
[08:03] <ffio> i read the wiki, but i can't get what  a .dsc file is . it's a meta file which contains dependencies related info right ?
[08:03] <Noskcaj> And reviewing debian mentors packages is another good way
[08:03] <Noskcaj> ffio, pretty much
[08:05] <ffio> Noskcaj: :)
[08:07] <ffio> ok doing up thing practically now as i have setup testdrive and downloaded the iso.
[08:08] <ffio> developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/fixing-a-bug-example.html#documenting-the-fix
[08:09] <ffio> ^ in the above link i was not able to get what the notation
[08:09] <ffio> i.e. before debian/control: added projet's homepage why * sign is there ?
[08:09] <Noskcaj> ffio, it's a way of listing things
[08:10] <Noskcaj> And yay, testdrive
[08:10] <ffio> it's automatically created ? or just shown to make it understand.
[08:10] <Noskcaj> You write it like that
[08:10] <ffio> ok :)
[08:11] <ffio> and before Peggy Sue there is -- sign ? what does that mean ?
[08:11] <ffio> because all the content is added so they all have + sign in front of them. but can't get why -- sign is there after +
[08:13] <ffio> need to go for diff tutorial too
[08:14] <geser> ffio: the -- is part of the format how changelog entries look like (it's the final line with the author and a timestamp)
[08:15] <ffio> geser: yeah ok got it :)
[08:16] <geser> ffio: usually dch takes care of the format, you just have to document the changes you have done (the bullet(*) points)
[08:16] <ffio> ok :)
[08:16] <geser> the bzr diff output is just for checking if the changes are those you really intended
[08:17] <ffio> ok just to check wether the changes that were made were what we intended or not.
[08:18] <ffio> s/were/we
[08:18] <geser> exactly
[08:18] <ffio> :)
[08:21] <geser> sometimes you realize while testing that more changes are needed (and can check that way that the final diff has them all) or you have to redo your fix because it didn't work as assumed (and check that the final diff has no parts left from a previous attempt)
[08:28] <ffio> going bit overhead.
[08:28] <ffio> doing it practically will make me things understand more better
[08:29] <Noskcaj> ffio, yeah. tip: once you get everything worked out, go back and fix everything you did while learning
[08:30] <ffio> Noskcaj: you mean to revert back all the changes i made ?
[08:30] <Noskcaj> ffio, no, you will realise you did stuff wrong, trust me
[08:30] <ffio> Noskcaj: ok :)
[08:31]  * Noskcaj just got his first package into debian. celebrates.
[08:31]  * ffio congratulate Noskcaj :D
[08:31] <Noskcaj> :)
[08:53] <Noskcaj> Can someone look at the merge for python-json-patch? I can't tell if it's a sync or not
[13:19] <obounaim> Hi is there a way in bzr to generate a diff between two branches for example lp:ubuntu/hello and lp:debian/hello
[13:19] <obounaim> thanks
[13:30] <lderan> obounaim: i think its bzr diff -r <2nd branch> from within the first branch
