| raub | On http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html#work-on-a-fix, how do you use edit-patch to edit a file and create appropriate patch? | 03:16 |
|---|---|---|
| raub | openssh-server and -client are packages derived from the ssh source. If I wanted to create a ppa for, say openssh-client, how would I do that starting from the ssh source package? | 04:04 |
| RAOF | raub: Take the ssh source package, upload it to your PPA. | 04:06 |
| raub | RAOF: the entire thing? What if I want to use the ppa to get just the client? | 04:33 |
| RAOF | raub: You could change the ssh source package to not build the -server package (that'd be editing debian/control) | 04:34 |
| Unit193 | Or d/rules. | 04:36 |

| Unit193 | asomething: Howdy. Still interested in Xubuntu some, or was that someone else? | 13:43 |
| asomething | Must be someone else... I've sponsored a few Xubuntu related packages in the past, but I don't run it myself | 13:44 |
| Unit193 | Ah, I'll blame bad memory. Thanks. | 13:47 |

| raub | For those who answered my questions yesterday, I need a bit of help putting sudo-ldap in PPA | 15:06 |
| raub | I understand (sort of) how to do the deed with the original package, sudo, but still do not understand for the derivative work 9sudo-ldap) | 15:06 |
| raub | RAOF said to edit the debian/control file, but if there is a sudo-ldap package already, shouldn't it have that done? | 15:10 |

| sn33zy | im looking on the website for ways to contribute but I do not know where to start. can someone point me somewhere to start? | 21:15 |
| Noskcaj | sn33zy, What would you like to do? | 21:30 |
| Noskcaj | And do you know any programming languages? | 21:30 |
| sn33zy | I know Java and C++... Im kindof bored right now and was curious if anyone wanted help with something (trying to see if I can help out) | 21:31 |
| Noskcaj | bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu has a list of all the bugs that need fixing | 21:33 |
| Noskcaj | See if a program you use has any bugs | 21:33 |
| Noskcaj | Also, what DE do you use? (gnome, xfce, etc. | 21:33 |
| sn33zy | Unity | 21:34 |
| Noskcaj | #ubuntu-unity is it's channel, although it might not be the best thing to start on | 21:34 |
| sn33zy | Noskcaj, i dont know enough to fix the bugs that I am finding.... is there a channel i can find any devs that I could offer my assistance to? | 22:10 |
| Noskcaj | #ubuntu-devel | 22:10 |
| Noskcaj | maybe #ubuntu-bugs | 22:10 |
| Noskcaj | We also have a testing team in #ubuntu-quality | 22:10 |
| Noskcaj | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize should have some easier to fix bugs | 22:11 |
| ScottK | sn33zy: If we knew more specifically what bugs, we could probably provide better advice about where to find help. | 22:16 |
| sn33zy | ok... heres a bitesize bug... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/723432 .... ScottK but I really dont know where to start... | 22:23 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 723432 in nvidia-settings (Ubuntu) "We need a way to translate the nvidia-settings tool" [High,Confirmed] | 22:23 |
| ScottK | That's probably not a good choice. It requires knowing a fair amount about how translations work in Ubuntu (which is not like anything else on the planet). | 22:25 |
| ScottK | (unless you really want to learn about how translations work)_ | 22:25 |
| ScottK | If so, dpm, who does not seem to be online right now, can probably point you in the right direction. | 22:26 |
| sn33zy | ScottK, okay so lets say I want to checkout code.... is the best way to do it is through apt-get source <packagename> ? | 22:32 |
| sn33zy | because i know another is through git... | 22:33 |
| rbasak | pull-lp-source <packagename> is better. It'll give you the latest development version, which might not necessarily be the same as the version you have available to apt on your system. | 22:35 |
| ScottK | Right. I generally point the deb-src line in my sources.list to the development release to solve that problem, but pull-lp-source does it as well. | 22:50 |
| sn33zy | ScottK, grr.... downloaded the source code for a package but the code is over my head lol | 23:14 |
