[09:21] <qengho> Hi hi. I have a foreign package that's imported to launchpad. It has a debian/{control,rules,compat,source/format}, and I wish to overwrite or mutate things in debian/ . I made my own branch that contains debian/..., and tried "nest-part", but got conflict on debian (to "debian.moved"). Is it possible to overwrite things that already exist in upstream branch?
[09:59] <wgrant> Launchpad will shortly be going offline for a couple of minutes while we make some changes to our database setup.
[10:04] <czajkows1i> wgrant: :)
[12:33] <cebka> hello, I got a question regarding updating pgp keys for launchpad: I've added new identity to my gpg key and synced it with the launchpad keyserver. however, I still got an error "The signer of this package has no upload rights to this distribution's primary archive" when using dput
[12:33] <cebka> are there any ways to figure out what is the problem with the key?
[12:34] <wgrant> cebka: You're trying to upload to Ubuntu itself, not your PPA.
[12:34] <wgrant> cebka: What command are you using to perform the upload?
[12:37] <cebka> oh, that makes sense... I have .dput.cf where I've defined the ppa, but I need to specify its name in the command line
[12:38] <wgrant> On Ubuntu you can just say 'dput ppa:USERNAME/PPANAME WHATEVER_source.changes'
[12:38] <wgrant> But if you're not using Ubuntu then you'll need a .dput.cf
[12:51] <cebka> that helped, thank you
[12:52] <cebka> by the way, is there any way to build packages for different ubuntu series using launchpad? for example, suse OBS doesn't require any special actions to do it
[13:18]  * mpt waits for Launchpad to return
[13:18] <wgrant> DB upgrades going slightly awry
[13:18] <wgrant> Will be back in a moment
[13:20] <wgrant> Should be happy again now, let me know if you see any more issues.
[13:42] <shadeslayer> wgrant: my scripts are failing http://paste.ubuntu.com/6879094/
[13:43]  * wgrant glares at the librarian
[13:43] <shadeslayer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6879099/ < script
[13:43] <wgrant> Yeah, the librarian doesn't like the DB work we're doing atm
[13:44] <wgrant> That will be over in a minute or two, and then I'll fix the librarian.
[13:44] <shadeslayer> ah ok
[13:44] <shadeslayer> thx
[13:59] <shadeslayer> wgrant: do I have to wait a bit for uploading stuff
[14:00] <wgrant> shadeslayer: Uploads aren't being processed right now, but they're queued.
[14:01] <shadeslayer> ah ok
[16:18] <qengho> Hi hi. I have a foreign branch that's imported to launchpad. It has debian/{control,rules,compat,source/format}, and I wish to overwrite or mutate things in debian/ . I made my own branch that contains debian/..., and tried "nest-part", but got conflict on debian (to "debian.moved"). In packaging recipes, is it possible to overwrite or override things that already exist in an upstream branch?
[17:33] <dobey> qengho: i think you have to maintain a fork with your changes in debian/ and merge it, rather than nest it
