| alesage | PPA-builder-masters: is there a way to compel a PPA-build to drag in a package as a dependency save doctoring the build's debian/control file to add? | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| tsimpson | that is the way to manage build dependencies | 00:14 |
| alesage | tsimpson, sure; I'm talking about doing this during pkgbinarymangling, e.g. in the dh_auto_test script, to pull in a special dependency to enable coverage reporting--is there a sudo command that'll give me apt-get powers there? | 00:23 |
| alesage | somehow this seems less illegal than modifying a building package's debian/control | 00:24 |
| tsimpson | no, you don't have root access in the build | 00:26 |
| dobey | doesn't pkgbinarymangler mangle *binary* packages? | 00:30 |
| alesage | tsimpson, thanks--which debhelper or dpkg script runs early enough to facilitate editing control? reading a log but nothing leaping out at me | 00:31 |
| dobey | ie, for the langpacks thing, it strips translations out of binary packages for getting them into langpacks | 00:32 |
| alesage | dobey, I do see that in pitti's code, yes--I think it does this by overriding dh_translations (i.e. diverting it) | 00:32 |
| dobey | alesage: what are you trying to accomplish exactly? nothing runs early enough to alter debian/control in a PPA (and nothing should alter it) | 00:33 |
| alesage | for the record I'm using these diversions to replicate a pbuilder-hooks process we use in Jenkins presently | 00:33 |
| dobey | ok, so PPAs don't have diversions for langpacks and such | 00:33 |
| alesage | dobey, right the 'no editing control' seems ethical | 00:34 |
| dobey | if you want to enable diversions of dpkg build tools on PPAs somehow, you probably need to talk to wgrant about adding a feature to launchpad to do that | 00:35 |
| alesage | dobey just wanting to add li'l ol' gcovr to everybody's control so that I can spit out coverage.xml | 00:35 |
| dobey | alesage: the best way to do that is probably to just fix the packaging to do that | 00:36 |
| alesage | dobey, for the record it's working in a PPA with pkgbinarymangler installed, I think that's the design | 00:36 |
| alesage | dobey that's fair, good suggestion | 00:36 |
| wgrant | pkgbinarymangler is always installed. | 00:36 |
| wgrant | It disables most of its functionality for PPA builds. | 00:36 |
| alesage | wgrant ok I'm learning :) | 00:37 |
| wgrant | If your pkgbinarymangler changes depend on a package, your pkgbinarymangler should depend on that pacakge. | 00:37 |
| alesage | wgrant, intriguing, wouldn't have thought of that--this means I could drag in a package, e.g. via pkgbinarymangler itself | 00:38 |
| alesage | we'll call it retromangling | 00:38 |
| wgrant | If a package uses another package, it must depend on that package. | 00:38 |
| wgrant | So if you adjust pkgbinarymangler to use gcov, pkgbinarymangler must depend on gcov. | 00:38 |
| alesage | for the curious, an early sketch of this is in lp:~allanlesage/pkgbinarymangler/coverage-mangler | 00:39 |
| alesage | wgrant, this sounds just, let me experiment with | 00:39 |
| alesage | wgrant, also thanks--the 'pkgbinarymangler always installed' resolves a question as to how my modified version was pulled in | 00:40 |

| alesage | I'm finding that my dputs to PPA don't always arrive--some do, some don't http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8056412 --am I making a versioning error here? or is there a permissions scheme? this is for https://launchpad.net/~allanlesage/+archive/ubuntu/coverage-mangler-12 | 19:46 |
| dobey | alesage: are you getting e-mails for them? | 19:49 |
| alesage | dobey good q let me investigate | 19:49 |
| alesage | dobey thanks, should've gone directly to that :/ | 19:50 |
| dobey | :) | 19:50 |
| alesage | dobey in this case I'm getting 'already exists in primary archive'--can you suggest a versioning scheme for me so that I a) don't break the world and b) can experiment at will? | 19:51 |
| alesage | been tacking on ~alesage0X but evidently I have to tick the rev as well | 19:52 |
| dobey | alesage: don't build the source package with -sa option to debuild | 19:54 |
| dobey | alesage: the error is about the orig.tar.gz right? | 19:55 |
| alesage | dobey, true | 19:55 |
| alesage | dobey, trying to grok which of the bzr bd options to use to accomplish this, any hints? | 20:06 |
| dobey | alesage: what are you running right now? | 20:09 |
| alesage | dobey, I'm in trusty | 20:09 |
| alesage | dobey sorry I'm just bzr bd -S 'ing | 20:09 |
| * alesage is having a case of the Fridays | 20:10 | |
| dobey | alesage: hrmm, that shouldn't be including the orig.tar.gz in the upload then i don't think | 20:11 |
| dobey | alesage: what is the full error message from LP exactly? | 20:11 |
| alesage | dobey I'll paste one min | 20:11 |
| alesage | dobey http://paste.ubuntu.com/8056735/ | 20:12 |
| dobey | oh | 20:14 |
| alesage | oh? | 20:15 |
| dobey | yeah, oh, a lot of projects that are managed by ci train do versioning wrong | 20:16 |
| dobey | they have non-native versions, and act like they aren't native packges, but they really are | 20:16 |
| dobey | so you changed something in the source files directly in the tree | 20:17 |
| dobey | and it built a new orig.tar.gz with the same version, and is complaining about that | 20:17 |
| alesage | this makes sense although the only change I've made was to the changelog | 20:18 |
| alesage | (don't know if we consider that to be "part of the tree" as it's in the repository) | 20:18 |
| dobey | what branch did you build the source from? | 20:19 |
| alesage | dobey I'm just going to the lp: repos. . . . | 20:20 |
| alesage | dobey what's the correct source? | 20:21 |
| dobey | though if you really only changed debian/changelog and used the right branch, it doesn't make sense, as the orig.tar.gz should be the same that's in ubuntu already i would think | 20:22 |
| alesage | dobey this also makes sense | 20:23 |
| dobey | you used lp:platform-api ? | 20:24 |
| alesage | dobey yes | 20:24 |
| dobey | alesage: do you also have a .debian.tar.gz or .diff.gz that has the debian/ contents? or are those in the orig.tar.gz as well? | 20:25 |
| alesage | dobey I mean I start clean--let me produce a run | 20:27 |
| alesage | dobey http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8057070/ | 20:28 |
| alesage | dobey going to ask the ci ppl as they must work around this all day | 20:31 |
