| stratus_ss | hi all, any packagers about today | 20:56 |
|---|---|---|
| Noskcaj | stratus_ss, always | 21:00 |
| stratus_ss | hi | 21:01 |
| stratus_ss | i have a general question i am hoping someone may answer | 21:01 |
| Noskcaj | !ask | 21:02 |
| stratus_ss | i am trying to update a package that package that is several revisions behind | 21:02 |
| stratus_ss | the problem is, quilt is failing to apply a patch and i strongly suspect that the issue is that too much has changed between versions | 21:02 |
| stratus_ss | am I to assume that the best way to resolve this is to roll the version in the repo forward slowly, 1 or 2 revisions at a time | 21:03 |
| stratus_ss | or is there some way that this can work | 21:03 |
| stratus_ss | Noskcaj: got any pointers? | 21:10 |
| stratus_ss | !awaiting response | 21:22 |
| ricotz | stratus_ss, you are supposed to update the patch in question to apply cleanly or drop it if the functionality got upstreamed | 21:26 |

| stratus_ss | ricotz: i am not sure i quite understand | 21:30 |
| stratus_ss | i am trying to update vte | 21:30 |
| stratus_ss | as an example | 21:30 |
| stratus_ss | we have .28 in the repo | 21:30 |
| stratus_ss | but .35 is upstream | 21:30 |
| stratus_ss | when following the usual process (uscan, uupdate) | 21:30 |
| stratus_ss | the debuild is choking on some patches | 21:30 |
| stratus_ss | when i look at the patches, the code they reference doesnt seem to exist | 21:30 |
| ricotz | stratus_ss, the repo has 0.34.9 | 21:31 |
| ricotz | the package is called "vte3" | 21:31 |
| stratus_ss | ricotz: I was going based on Tim's list found here | 21:32 |
| stratus_ss | http://phillw.net/ubuntu-gnome/trusty311.html | 21:32 |
| stratus_ss | so in stead of "apt-get source vte" it should be "apt-get source vte3"? | 21:33 |
| ricotz | ok, vte is referenced wrongly then | 21:33 |
| ricotz | stratus_ss, "pull-lp-source vte3" | 21:34 |
| stratus_ss | whats the difference? (I have been doing apt-get source as per Tims initial instructions) | 21:35 |
| stratus_ss | i am still quite new and trying to get up to speed | 21:35 |
| ricotz | i see, i am usually using pull-lp-source and pull-debian-source to retrieve already packaged version | 21:35 |
| stratus_ss | honestly i am a blank slate, i am willing to work through which ever way I should | 21:36 |
| mgedmin | apt-get source needs deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list, an apt-get update run, and fetches the version that matches your apt sources.list | 21:36 |
| mgedmin | pull-lp-source goes directly to launchpad.net and you can ask it for a specific version | 21:37 |
| stratus_ss | mgedmin, ah thanks for the explaination | 21:37 |
| * ricotz doesn't have that much time currently | 21:37 | |
| stratus_ss | i have been pretty successful at handling some of the more simple packages | 21:39 |
| stratus_ss | i just thought i would try something more complicated... guess i need to keep picking the low hanging fruit for a while longer | 21:39 |
| stratus_ss | :) | 21:39 |
