| reversiblean | Hi.. How do I find the active development branch of a project? | 17:48 |
| reversiblean | For example lp:ubuntu/zipper.app and lp:ubuntu/vivid-proposed/zipper.app | 17:48 |
| reversiblean | Which one should I pull? | 17:48 |
| mitya57 | reversiblean, these two branches are identical | 17:50 |
| mitya57 | reversiblean, also, this package comes from Debian, so you may want to use git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-gnustep/zipper.app.git instead | 17:51 |
| mitya57 | (this is where packaging actually happens) | 17:51 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: thanks for the info. but how do i distinguish between Ubuntu vs Debian packages? | 17:52 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: and what would happen if i commit any changes to the branch on launchpad? | 17:53 |
| mitya57 | reversiblean, if you open https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zipper.app and expand the first entry, it will say "Copied from debian sid in Primary Archive for Debian GNU/Linux" | 17:53 |
| mitya57 | reversiblean, you probably don't have rights to commit directly to lp:ubuntu/zipper.app (that is for robots, not for humans), but nothing prevents you from creating your own clone of that branch | 17:54 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: ohhh, thanks a lot. BTW did you Google to find that debina branch? | 17:57 |
| reversiblean | *debian | 17:58 |
| mitya57 | No, https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/zipper.app shows you the links to VCS | 17:59 |
| mitya57 | Also, "debcheckout PACKAGENAME" will automatically clone the right branch for you | 17:59 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: i see. I think i'll better learn to contribute to debian first since i'm very new. Thanks a lot! | 18:02 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: lets say i want to change the url 'Developer's Website', that appears on the Ubuntu Software Center for a package after i clone it. Which file should I look into? | 18:22 |
| mitya57 | reversiblean, Homepage field in debian/control | 18:22 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: lets say i want to fix the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zipper.app/+bug/1406394, and I already clone the repo using git | 18:23 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1406394 in zipper.app (Ubuntu) "Zipper application's site information goes to a sex toy ad site" [Medium,Confirmed] | 18:23 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: i checked the Homepage field on the debian/control, but its different from the url as stated in the bug report | 18:25 |
| mitya57 | Let me look | 18:25 |
| mitya57 | reversiblean, the link in software center opens http://gap.nongnu.org/zipper/ for me | 18:26 |
| mitya57 | which looks correct | 18:26 |
| mitya57 | git shows that before June 2012 the URL was http://xanthippe.dyndns.org/Zipper/, which matches what's described in the bug | 18:28 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: is already fixed? | 18:28 |
| mitya57 | so maybe the reporter was using an old Ubuntu release | 18:28 |
| mitya57 | I guess it is fixed, yes | 18:28 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: i'm on 14.10 | 18:28 |
| mitya57 | And do you have this bug? | 18:29 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: yup | 18:29 |
| mitya57 | Oh, I see there was no upload between June 2012 and July 2014 | 18:29 |
| mitya57 | So it's fixed in 15.04 but not in 14.10 | 18:30 |
| mitya57 | Of course we can backport the fix to utopic-updates, but I personally don't think it's worth it | 18:30 |
| mitya57 | (But if you want to fix it, follow the SRU process, and we will accept your patches :)) | 18:31 |
| reversiblean | mitya57: so much to learn : ) I'll see | 18:34 |
