| Legendario | Hi, I've made a simple package and uploaded to my ppa. I'd like some feedback. Can anyone help me? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1173327 | 13:24 |
|---|---|---|
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1173327 in Ubuntu "[needs-packaging] fonts-oflb-gnutypewriter" [Wishlist,Fix committed] | 13:25 |
| cjwatson | Legendario: I suggest going through the Debian Fonts Team and getting it into Debian | 13:25 |
| cjwatson | They're fairly active AFAIK | 13:25 |
| Legendario | cjwatson, any useful url? I'm more used to the ubuntu community | 13:26 |
| cjwatson | I guess https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts is a good place to start | 13:27 |
| cjwatson | Links to the fonts packaging policy, the alioth project, etc. | 13:28 |
| cjwatson | https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts/PackagingPolicy | 13:28 |
| Legendario | cjwatson, hum... cool. I'll take a look at that | 13:29 |
| Legendario | cjwatson, how is the policy for new packages? Do they strictly need to get into debian first or can they make the opposite way? | 13:35 |
| cjwatson | Legendario: They don't *strictly*, but we strongly encourage them to go into Debian first. | 13:36 |
| cjwatson | If they do then (a) that benefits more people and (b) they will automatically get into Ubuntu without any extra review being required. | 13:37 |
| sreedevi | Hello, I am working on a minor bug in launchpad, I submitted a proposal to merge my branch to the main branch. This is pending for review, Could anyone please help me with this? | 14:23 |
| mapreri | hypera1r: do you want to upload the fixed nautilus-dropbox package to saucy-proposed? (I subscribed the sponsors anyway) | 14:48 |
| mitya57 | Mirv: do you have anything against /me uploading a qtsensors merge with Debian (5.1.1-2ubuntu1)? | 14:54 |
| mitya57 | I need the renamed -dev package for my PyQt5 sync | 14:54 |
| mitya57 | oops, wrong channel | 14:54 |
| hypera1r | mapreri: eh yeah sure | 15:44 |

| Legendario | hi, since ubuntu recommends people to submit packages to debian, in order to get them into Ubuntu, is it possible to use a PPA to test the Debian builds? | 17:01 |
| mitya57 | Legendario: PPAs don't always match the Debian environment, it's better to use a tool like pbuilder for that | 17:04 |
| Legendario | mitya57, do you know if I can mix ubuntu and debian control files like I do to make multiples packages for diferent dists. Eg. saucy, raring, etc. | 17:07 |
| mitya57 | Legendario: I don't understand the question. You of course can put whatever you want in the changelog, and control files are independent of the distro. | 17:15 |
| Legendario | mitya57, I can upload a package with multiple control files in order to build it for multiple versions. Eg. control.saucy, control.raring, control. control.quantal | 17:17 |
| Legendario | can I mix those with a control.unstable? | 17:17 |
| mitya57 | That sounds like a Launchpad-specific hack I didn't know of. But Launchpad doesn't support Debian at all — so no. | 17:18 |
| Legendario | mitya57, ok. thanks! :-) That would be a great feature though since it's the recommended path to get a package into ubuntu | 17:19 |
| mitya57 | I think Launchpad will never support Debian. There is a much bigger chance that Debian creates its own PPA system. | 17:20 |
| Legendario | mitya57, that would be also a great stuff. PPAs make packaging and distribution of software much easier. Is the ppa system part of the open source Launchpad app? | 17:22 |
| mitya57 | I think yes, but it's practically impossible to create a Launchpad instance different from launchpad.net.. | 17:24 |
| Legendario | mitya57, I don't believe so... I know a launchpad developer and she told me anyone can install your own instance and that it's pretty much modular | 17:29 |
| Legendario | and it seems that it could be a lot easier for debian to have it's own ppa system if ubuntu one is open sourced | 17:30 |
| mitya57 | Legendario: I googled and found https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/ which looks like a Launchpad instance with Debian support | 17:32 |
| * ogra_ wonders if you guys are aware of the #launchpad channel next door ;) | 17:33 | |
| Legendario | mitya57, where have you found it has debian support? I can't find it | 17:39 |
| cjwatson | You *can* install your own instance, but it's a giant amount of work | 17:45 |
| cjwatson | If you just want to build a few Debian packages, just use sbuild - way easier | 17:46 |
| mitya57 | $(whatCjwatsonSaid), and ignore the previous link — project looks dead | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | launchpad-buildd is just a smart-ish wrapper around sbuild, after all (admittedly an old version, but that's a bug) | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | the publication is harder work, but Debian already knows pretty well how to publish archives ;-) | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | control.$release isn't a Launchpad-specific hack; it's some kind of hack specific to a particular package. | 17:56 |
| cjwatson | And it's a bad idea since lots of things assume debian/control exists before any code in the package runs. | 17:56 |
| cjwatson | You're better off trying to ensure that debian/control matches for all releases you care about, and if you can't do that then use a VCS to maintain separate branches. | 17:57 |
