Logan_Noskcaj: Are you sure the extensions being gone is a nonissue for your latest gthumb upload?04:40
Logan_I'm going to sync, but please make sure you look into that...04:51
NoskcajLogan_, I'm working on fixing it, but having plenty of time to test the new version is more important04:54
Logan_Noskcaj: I think making sure there aren't any regressions before uploading is more important... But okay.04:56
NoskcajIf i new how to stop it, i would have. I'll try and contact upstream when school finishes for the year (next week) because it's probably a dependency issue04:59

aeorilI am new to MOTU.  I found this nice website:  http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/ Is that a good place to start?20:34
aeorilAlso, I went from there to here:  http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/getting-set-up.html and am at section 2.1: Install Basic Packaging Software.  However, I need to know which version of Ubuntu to install first to do packaging work for the latest development version (I am a developer and know how to code, and have had some previous experience with Ubuntu packaging, but a long time ago)20:36
aeorilAlso, it mentions using fakeroot or testdrive to make sure you use the latest Ubuntu to develop on - can I use a virtual machine instead?20:38

aeorilphilipballew hello!20:42
aeorilUnit193 hello!20:42
Unit193Howdy.20:43
aeorilUnit193 how goes it20:43
aeoril?20:43
aeorilUnit193 do you know who I am?20:43
Unit193Yep.  And the normal method is chroots, not testdrive (vm thingy)20:44
aeorilUnit193 which version of Ubuntu should I install to MOTU on?20:45
philipballewaeoril, hello there.20:45
aeorilphilipballew remember me from UBT?20:46
Unit193aeoril: I'm on saucy, with Saucy, testing, unstable, and trusty chroots.20:46
Unit193(Think precise {LTS} too.)20:47
philipballewaeoril, Yes I do. I hope all is well.20:47
philipballewWhere in the world are you currently?20:47
aeorilphilipballew yes, very well thanks - Oklahoma20:47
aeoril(USA)20:47
philipballewaeoril, oh cool. I have never been there!20:47
aeorilUnit193 what do you mean "with Saucy, testing, unstable, trusty chroots?"20:48
aeorilphilipballew you're not missing much :)20:48
philipballewaeoril, haha, If you find yourself in San Diego, stop by and say hello.20:48
Unit193!pbuilder20:48
Unit193!sbuild20:48
ubottupbuilder is a system to easily build packages in a clean chroot environment. To get started with PBuilder, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto20:48
ubottusbuild is a system to easily build packages in a clean schroot environment.  To get started with SBuild, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SbuildLVMHowto20:48
aeorilphilipballew sure thing!20:49
aeorilUnit193 is pbuilder easier than sbuild?20:50
Unit193I use pbuilder.  There's benefits and disadvantages of both, really.20:52
aeorilUnit193 I am downloading saucy right now.  I want to run Ubuntu in a Windows virtual machine - will that be problematic for development?20:53
aeoril(if you know)20:53
aeorilIf the Windows VM is not a good idea, I can fire up an older PC to run it20:54
aeorilphilipballew are you still in school at la jolla, or am I remembering incorrectly?20:56
philipballewaeoril, Yes, just south in an area called Point Loma.20:56
aeorilphilipballew yes, I can picture it in my mind (from the picture on the website I saw years ago)20:56
aeorilphilipballew how is school going?  You got your PhD yet?20:57
philipballewaeoril, nope! Just getting my undergrad!20:57
