[12:54] * mapreri grunts at lp #157488 [12:54] Launchpad bug 157488 in Launchpad itself "Add bugwatch support for the JIRA bugtracker" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/157488 [15:11] Hi [15:11] I am trying to create a package [15:12] while executing bzr builddeb -- -us -uc command, found below error [15:12] maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token debian/postinst [15:12] not error exactly, warning may be [15:12] W: easyvim: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token debian/postinst [15:13] my postinst script places in debian dir [15:13] its a simple bash script [15:14] can anyone help me? [15:15] what are the contents of your postinst? (why are you providing a custom postinst at all?) [15:16] its a manual script just placing .vimrc to home directory [15:16] #!/bin/bash [15:16] cp -rfv /tmp/.vimrc $HOME [15:17] Actually my deb package contains Makefile, .vimrc [15:18] Makefile: [15:18] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c55102aa739bc527cc12 [15:19] I followed the commands as instructed in http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html [15:20] finally, ended getting warnging: W: easyvim: empty-binary-package [15:21] when i google'd i found out there needs to be .install in debian folder [15:21] you can't do that in postinst [15:22] anything wrong with the postinst contents ? [15:22] and installing '.vimrc' to /etc is also wrong [15:22] ok [15:22] can i do it in /etc [15:22] ? [15:22] yes, deb packages are installed as root. you should not try to modify home directories in postinst either [15:22] sorry /tmp? [15:22] no [15:23] is easyvim really just a .vimrc? [15:23] there is much more , i wanted to .vim folder in home directory [15:24] you can't do anything with user home directories in packages [15:24] i was testing this, if this works successfully, then i will go ahead and add .vim folder too [15:24] oh ok [15:25] you should probably see about fixing easyvim to work as a vim plug-in installed in /usr/share/vim/plugin or such [15:26] if you want to make a deb package of it [15:29] so i have to write vim script for this and place it in /usr/share/vim/addons/plugin [15:29] ? [15:32] i don't really know what all is required to turn easyvim into a plug-in for vim rather than just a set of files you dump in your home directory [15:33] overwriting peoples' existing .vimrc and .vim directories would be very bad though. [15:33] ok. make sense [15:33] anyway, it is sunday, so i have to go do other things [15:33] later [15:33] thanks for your feedback [15:34] I will write it as a plugin. that's a good idea [15:47] Is this possible; download linux iso, [Tails, Ubuntu Mini Remix, Ubuntu Gnome], use software to add/remove packages, (remove software I don't need, like games), when finished use unetbootin to create a usb installer? [21:28] can i perform this action on the CLI? https://translations.launchpad.net/serverguide/trunk/+export [21:50] pmatulis: That functionality is not exposed on the public API. [21:50] wgrant: alright thanks
