stratus_sshi all, any packagers about today20:56
Noskcajstratus_ss, always21:00
stratus_sshi21:01
stratus_ssi have a general question i am hoping someone may answer21:01
Noskcaj!ask21:02
stratus_ssi am trying to update a package that package that is several revisions behind21:02
stratus_ssthe problem is, quilt is failing to apply a patch and i strongly suspect that the issue is that too much has changed between versions21:02
stratus_ssam 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 time21:03
stratus_ssor is there some way that this can work21:03
stratus_ssNoskcaj: got any pointers?21:10
stratus_ss!awaiting response21:22
ricotzstratus_ss, you are supposed to update the patch in question to apply cleanly or drop it if the functionality got upstreamed21:26
=== evets is now known as stwobe
stratus_ssricotz: i am not sure i quite understand21:30
stratus_ssi am trying to update vte21:30
stratus_ssas an example21:30
stratus_sswe have .28 in the repo21:30
stratus_ssbut .35 is upstream21:30
stratus_sswhen following the usual process (uscan, uupdate)21:30
stratus_ssthe debuild is choking on some patches21:30
stratus_sswhen i look at the patches, the code they reference doesnt seem to exist21:30
ricotzstratus_ss, the repo has 0.34.921:31
ricotzthe package is called "vte3"21:31
stratus_ssricotz: I was going based on Tim's list found here21:32
stratus_sshttp://phillw.net/ubuntu-gnome/trusty311.html21:32
stratus_ssso in stead of "apt-get source vte" it should be "apt-get source vte3"?21:33
ricotzok, vte is referenced wrongly then21:33
ricotzstratus_ss, "pull-lp-source vte3"21:34
stratus_sswhats the difference? (I have been doing apt-get source as per Tims initial instructions)21:35
stratus_ssi am still quite new and trying to get up to speed21:35
ricotzi see, i am usually using pull-lp-source and pull-debian-source to retrieve already packaged version21:35
stratus_sshonestly i am a blank slate, i am willing to work through which ever way I should21:36
mgedminapt-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.list21:36
mgedminpull-lp-source goes directly to launchpad.net and you can ask it for a specific version21:37
stratus_ssmgedmin, ah thanks for the explaination21:37
* ricotz doesn't have that much time currently21:37
stratus_ssi have been pretty successful at handling some of the more simple packages21:39
stratus_ssi just thought i would try something more complicated... guess i need to keep picking the low hanging fruit for a while longer21:39
stratus_ss:)21:39
