[03:16] <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?
[04:04] <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?
[04:06] <RAOF> raub: Take the ssh source package, upload it to your PPA.
[04:33] <raub> RAOF: the entire thing? What if I want to use the ppa to get just the client?
[04:34] <RAOF> raub: You could change the ssh source package to not build the -server package (that'd be editing debian/control)
[04:36] <Unit193> Or d/rules.
[07:17] <dholbach> good morning
[07:28] <highvoltage> o/
[13:43] <Unit193> asomething: Howdy.  Still interested in Xubuntu some, or was that someone else?
[13:44] <asomething> Must be someone else... I've sponsored a few Xubuntu related packages in the past, but I don't run it myself
[13:47] <Unit193> Ah, I'll blame bad memory.  Thanks.
[15:06] <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)
[15:10] <raub> RAOF said to edit the debian/control file, but if there is a sudo-ldap package already, shouldn't it have that done?
[21:15] <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?
[21:30] <Noskcaj> sn33zy, What would you like to do?
[21:30] <Noskcaj> And do you know any programming languages?
[21:31] <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)
[21:33] <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.
[21:34] <sn33zy> Unity
[21:34] <Noskcaj> #ubuntu-unity is it's channel, although it might not be the best thing to start on
[22:10] <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
[22:11] <Noskcaj> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize should have some easier to fix bugs
[22:16] <ScottK> sn33zy: If we knew more specifically what bugs, we could probably provide better advice about where to find help.
[22:23] <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...
[22:25] <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)_
[22:26] <ScottK> If so, dpm, who does not seem to be online right now, can probably point you in the right direction.
[22:32] <sn33zy> ScottK, okay so lets say I want to checkout code.... is the best way to do it is through apt-get source <packagename> ?
[22:33] <sn33zy> because i know another is through git...
[22:35] <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.
[22:50] <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.
[23:14] <sn33zy> ScottK, grr.... downloaded the source code for a package but the code is over my head lol
