| sney | hi | 18:31 |
| a_cotrim | I believe I may have uploaded a package to archive.ubuntu.com by mistake, due to a misconfiguration on my end. I am not officially the maintainer of said package. Do I need to make a request for the package to be removed from the archive? | 18:32 |
| a_cotrim | If so, how do I do it, and to whom? | 18:33 |
| a_cotrim | Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance. | 18:36 |
| Unit193 | Are you an official Ubuntu dev or MOTU? What package? | 18:37 |
| a_cotrim | I am neither. Package is mednafen, version 0.9.36.3, arch amd64. | 18:38 |
| Unit193 | If you are neither, you likely got a rejection email from "Ubuntu installer". | 18:42 |
| a_cotrim | Not yet, I believe. That may still happen though. | 18:43 |
| a_cotrim | I have corrected my configuration, having pbuilder point to 127.0.0.1 instead. I am still learning how to build Debian packages and gaining understanding of what each tool involved in this process does. | 18:45 |
| a_cotrim | For this one my objective was to compile a program from source once and have a package that I can install/uninstall cleanly to/from any system anytime. | 18:48 |
| sney | #debian-mentors on irc.oftc.net might be a useful channel for you to idle in, contrary to the name it's an appropriate learning resource for anyone making debian packages, even for derivatives | 18:50 |
| Unit193 | Quite so, good place for packaging questions if you get stuck. | 18:52 |
| a_cotrim | Thanks! | 18:53 |
| Unit193 | And as far as uploading to Ubuntu, if you haven't specifically been given permission, then it won't let you upload anyway. | 18:54 |
| a_cotrim | I did this while following this tutorial: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-deb-package-ubuntu-debian.html. The part that suggests a "upload" comes from the output of the dpkg-buildpackage command. | 18:56 |
| sney | normally it'd be debuild for an actual official upload. that's a pretty old howto, too | 18:58 |
| sney | http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers section 3 on this page has some good authoritative resources | 18:59 |
| a_cotrim | I'll be sure to check it out. Not that I have anything to officially propose for integration into a distribution right now, but what brought me here (and what took me there) is that I want to learn how to do it the right way. | 19:02 |
| a_cotrim | Once again, thanks! | 19:02 |
| sney | np | 19:02 |
