zygado I need to assign my 'foo package needed' bug to any particular project or package?09:35
zygahttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/125483109:35
ubottuUbuntu bug 1254831 in Ubuntu "plainbox needs packaging" [Undecided,New]09:35
Laneyzyga: no, subscribe ubuntu-sponsors09:41
Laneyalso it'd be nice to submit it to debian mentors / DPMT09:42
zygaLaney: actually that situation is changed now09:46
zygaLaney: I got write access to the shared SVN repo on DPMT09:46
zygaLaney: and my sid package got a few review iterations now09:46
zygaLaney: so I guess we want to not go through motu but instead sync it from debian, correct?09:46
Laneyzyga: yes, definitely09:47
Laneyor upload from SVN if you want it in urgently09:47
zygaLaney: upload from SVN?09:48
zygaLaney: I'm doing one more modification to include the man page and I'll upload it to svn09:49
Laneyyes, like take a snapshot09:50
Laneybut I think they're quite fast at sponsoring / reviewing over in DPMT usually so that probably won't be necessary09:50
zygaLaney: I didn't understand what you mean by 'upload *from* svn'? upload to where? ubuntu?09:51
Laneyyes09:51
zygaah09:51
zygaI didn't know that is possible, I'm still quite new to this process09:51
Laneywell, you just build a source package out of the VCS and give it the right version number to upload to Ubuntu09:52
zygaLaney: assuming it gets into the debian svn today, how long will it take it for the package to migrate to ubuntu?09:52
zygaLaney: (I also prepared 14.04 specific package with ubuntu1 suffix and different standards-version09:52
Laney<time in NEW> + 1 day-ish09:52
zygaLaney: new is 2 weeks?09:53
zygaLaney: and subsequent releases after that? we're likely to release the package and update it in debian bi-weekly09:53
Laneynot sure what they're looking at atm09:53
zygaah09:53
Laneyyeah, a few hours to a day - not long09:53
zygaLaney: ok, this sounds great09:53
Laneyafter debian import freeze you need to request the syncs yourself though09:53
zygaLaney: what about standards version mismatch? will we sync to get 3.9.5 in trusty?09:54
Laneyzyga: we usually don't bother changing that over Debian09:54
zygaLaney: ah, so lintian will complain but nothing breaks?09:55
Laneyit's just for information really09:56

quidnuncBackporting packages is always a nightmare: Why am I getting "Dependency is not satisfiable: gyp (>= 0.1~svn1654)" when trying to backport nodejs to precise?23:05
quidnuncbackportpackage -Urbw $PWD nodejs23:05
cjwatsonBecause precise doesn't have that version of gyp23:05
cjwatson$ rmadison -s precise gyp23:05
cjwatson gyp | 0.1~svn1031-1 | precise/universe | source, all23:05
quidnunccjwatson: Ah, I didn't notice subversion23:06
quidnunccjwatson: thanks23:06
quidnuncand also f*ck23:06
cjwatsonSo I guess you'd need to backport gyp as well23:06
quidnuncsub-version number*23:06
cjwatsonOr figure out how to weaken the dependency, although that's more intrusive for a backport23:07
ari-tczewquidnunc: you can try to minimize that version in B-D23:07
quidnunccjwatson: Always fun going down that rabbit hole23:07
quidnuncwhat is B-D23:07
quidnunc?23:07
ari-tczewBuild-Depends23:07
cjwatsonAnd sourceful changes require significantly more review than simple backports23:07
ari-tczew(see debian/control file)23:07
quidnuncnon-official23:07
quidnuncari-tczew: Right, I've never seen that abbreviation23:08
ari-tczews/gyp (>= 0.1~svn1654)/gyp23:08
cjwatsonBut first check why it's there ...23:08
cjwatsonVersioned relationships generally aren't introduced just for fun23:08
ari-tczewof course23:09
ari-tczewthen see debian/changelog23:09
ari-tczewalso, I look often for changes in certain files through Bazaar. Might be easier for you, as well.23:10
quidnuncWhen running pdebuild I get --> dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies. Are those build dependencies on my host or the pbuilder image?23:11
cjwatsonIn the chroot23:11
quidnuncdpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: cdbs dh-buildinfo libv8-3.14-dev (>= 3.7) libc-ares-dev (>= 1.7.5)23:12
quidnuncWhy is it complaining about cdbs?23:13
quidnunc(Also I said precise but I'm building for raring)23:13
cjwatsonYou may not get accurate results as soon as one of your build-deps is uninstallable23:13
cjwatsonIn this case, libv8-3.14-dev is only available from saucy on - perhaps try libv8-dev instead?23:13
quidnunccjwatson: But at least one of those is the problem right?23:13
cjwatson(assuming that's sufficient)23:13
cjwatsonYes, libv8-3.14-dev is the problem23:14
cjwatsonAt least that's how it looks from a quick examination of the archive23:14
quidnuncdpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: cdbs dh-buildinfo libv8-dev libc-ares-dev23:16
quidnuncalright I give up23:16
quidnuncI'll just install from source23:16
cjwatsonOf course it could also be the pbuilder base image being broken or pbuilder just generally being terrible; I don't know, I don't use pbuilder :-)23:17
quidnuncDependency hell has made a comeback: Developers can't use system packages for any dev platform (python, ruby, node, haskell) as they have effectively shunned distro packaging in lieu of their own packaging managers and it is very difficult to build system packages.23:19
cjwatsonI've no interest in a philosophical debate on the subject I'm afraid23:20
cjwatsonAt least not without beer23:21
quidnuncjust ranting. Worse is better these days23:23
