| kbowling | I've uploaded a package for trusty to https://launchpad.net/~llnw/+archive/collectd | 04:27 |
|---|---|---|
| kbowling | I then try to upload a package for precise, but I get the email "File collectd_5.4.1-llnw3.tar.gz already exists in collectd, but uploaded version has different contents." | 04:27 |
| kbowling | tried following https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/UploadErrors with no luck | 04:28 |
| kbowling | on the precise and trusty machines, I change debian/changelog to the correct distro and do dpkg-buildpackage -S | 04:28 |
| kbowling | do I need to somehow embed the release in the dist files? | 04:30 |
| wgrant | kbowling: You need to change the version in debian/changelog. | 05:26 |
| wgrant | Otherwise there'd be two collectd packages with version 5.4.1-llnw3, which would be thoroughly confusing to both computers and people. | 05:26 |
| wgrant | It's common to append something like ~ubuntu12.04.1 to the version for backports. | 05:27 |
| kbowling | yeah that appears to be it, I'm adding ~trusty and ~precise | 05:28 |
| wgrant | We used to use codenames, but that breaks after Zany Zebra, so the release's version number is preferred now. | 05:28 |
| kbowling | why the minor? is that important? | 05:29 |
| kbowling | or 12.04 sufficient? | 05:29 |
| wgrant | 12.04 would be fine. | 05:30 |
| kbowling | looks like that did it https://launchpad.net/~llnw/+archive/collectd | 05:34 |
| kbowling | I deleted the whole PPA to clean it; is there a more precise way to clean in the future? | 05:35 |
| wgrant | Why did it need cleaning? | 05:35 |
| kbowling | I had a build without a suffix | 05:35 |
| wgrant | You could have deleted that package. | 05:35 |
| Terry_ARM | Hi there, my Launchpad-hosted non-PPA project can give me download counts of released packages. Is it possible to get such download counts through python Launchpadlib? I tired but looks like it is not possible. | 05:40 |
| Terry_ARM | For example, we can see download numbers like 1438, 8070 in page https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+download. | 05:42 |
| === Terry_ARM is now known as Terry | ||
| === Terry is now known as Guest80870 | ||
| wgrant | Guest80870: Release file download counts aren't exposed through the API. | 05:45 |
| wgrant | Not yet, at least. | 05:45 |
| Guest80870 | even in the Launchpadlib dev branch? | 05:46 |
| wgrant | The server defines the API, not the client. | 05:46 |
| Guest80870 | OK. I see. Thank you. | 05:46 |

| spayno | I had success yesterday with creating my first ppa on launchpad. It built fine for amd64 and i386. I'm now wondering if there is a way to have launchpad build for ARM? | 17:08 |
| dobey | spayno: you can open a question on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad to ask to have it enabled on your ppa. | 17:24 |
| spayno | dobey: thanks! I submitted a question | 17:34 |
| kbowling | I want to PPA something that manually builds a deb. any advice on doing this? | 17:44 |
| kbowling | i.e it doesn't use the typical debian packaging chain | 17:45 |
| dobey | you can only upload source packages that build with the typical debian packaging chain to a PPA | 17:46 |
| cjwatson | kbowling: you must implement the standard debian/rules entry points, but beyond that the exact way you build the .deb doesn't matter. (however not using the typical packaging chain sounds like an epic waste of time) | 20:43 |
| mapreri | just a quick question: if I ask to get armhf builds in my ppa, is this feature available to all my ppa or to only the one I ask for? | 22:18 |
| mapreri | wgrant: ? | 22:18 |
| wgrant | mapreri: It needs to be enabled on a per-PPA basis. | 22:19 |
| mapreri | wgrant: ok, thanks | 22:19 |
