[07:46] <dholbach> good morning
[18:48] <aboudreault> I'm currently upgrading a package that was using autoconf to cmake. any recommendation? should I just do things manually in the debian/rules?
[19:51] <cjwatson> aboudreault: Not sure I agree that's an upgrade :-)  But dh has a cmake buildsystem and you should probably just let it use that
[19:51] <aboudreault> ok
[20:54] <MentalPower|Work> Hey all, I'm trying to generate a .deb file for libxdiff for precise, but the packages I build have everything except the library binaries themselves. I know they're being created (they're in the build directory if I cancel builddeb midway).
[20:54] <MentalPower|Work> Any ideas?
[20:59] <ari-tczew> MentalPower|Work: how do you "generate" .deb file?
[20:59] <MentalPower|Work> bzr builddeb -- -us -uc
[21:02] <ari-tczew> MentalPower|Work: if it's really bzr branch, I'd use first "bzr bd -S" to build the source files
[21:02] <ari-tczew> MentalPower|Work: than use pbuilder to build .dsc file
[21:05] <ari-tczew> MentalPower|Work: sorry, I mean use pbuilder-dist to build _from_ .dsc file. then you find .debs as output in ~/pbuilder/*
[21:05] <ari-tczew> if you want to get .debs for precise, use pbuilder-dist precise
[21:06] <MentalPower|Work> ok, trying that
[21:07] <ari-tczew> cool
[21:08] <MentalPower|Work> same story: empty-binary-package
[21:17] <cjwatson> MentalPower|Work: there are several possible reasons - it'd probably be easier for somebody to investigate given a pointer to your source package
[21:17] <MentalPower|Work> ok, let me throw up the bzr branch somewhere
[21:20] <cjwatson> (currently fighting an X startup failure, so may be delayed and hopefully somebody else can step in)
[21:27] <MentalPower|Work> hey guys, I was about to push the bzr branch, but I noticed some misnamed files, libxdiff1.dirs/install when it should've been libxdiff0.dirs/install
[21:27] <MentalPower|Work> so layer 8
[21:28] <MentalPower|Work> thanks for the help anyways :)
[21:30] <cjwatson> MentalPower|Work: that'd do it
[21:30] <MentalPower|Work> cjwatson: indeed
[21:30] <cjwatson> (note that .dirs is usually unnecessary, unless you're either manually installing files in debian/rules after creating those directories, or deliberately creating empty directories)
